[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Hamsteriel:
I have seen dozens of threads opened regarding simple issues with Android that have been answered in the FAQs. If you will direct your attention to the attached JPEG, you will see the current state of the Android Development sub-forum, after stickies. Several of these threads were created by the same junior members, some in the same day, some even asking the same question by the same person in the same day.

I am creating this thread for anyone who is incapable of using search or reading the FAQ. Simply post your redundant question here, and I will answer it again, rather than clutter this glorious forum with mental detritus.

I realize this is not a development thread and I am being a tad hypocritical, but seeing as how I have never opened a new thread, I should get some bonus points.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Oh Emmm Geee!!! Does Sound Work?!!? :p:p

Good luck with this one bud, lets see how long before you are sick of people who cant even click on a FAQ link to be a little self sufficient. :D:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Hamsteriel:
Yes, sound is now 1000% working. You can make sound play from your phone through other objects such as tables and hamsters thanks to the new froyo rebuild that also tricks the mainboard of your Rhodium into growing a 5th processor that also controls sound and responds to all commands, not just in assembly, but in English and German. They're still working on Latvian, sorry.

[Off-topic] Austin021296:
If i do get another phone it would be a g1 or touch pro 2 or something else better that cost the same
[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
Try a phone that's not available here. Something European. If you go to www.Ebay.Co.Uk you can get some really good deals on UK phones. Even though the exchange rate isn't equal, they come out cheaper still. Try GSM hero, Hd Mini, tattoo, ect. Stuff along those lines are around your price range. If you want though, you can get a desire over their fot around $300-350. Much cheaper than in the US...:D
[Off-topic] Austin021296:
ha yeah thats true...how much is an hd2 over there
[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
About the same as over here. It really only works with devices that weren't released over here. If your using Android, I would suggest a HD Mini. I really like the design of it and it's really cheap over there. But I would get a GSM Hero... Even though I like the Design of my nexus, I still prefer the Desire, Hero's, and Legends chins...

Forgot to mention one downside... Sometimes they won't ship the the US, but most of them do. You just need to ask otherwise you can't pay for the item. It wont let you go through with the checkout process.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Visionikz03:
Is it possible to have both of those running on the same framework? The flashable zips for each always undo the other. Does they have to be edited individually?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I have it ;).

But you are right, they are both controlled in the same file, framework.jar, so both mods have to be applied to the same file at the same time.

What ROM are you running?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Visionikz03:
Im runnin the latest PureHero... it's based off Damage
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
While I'm running Fresh the framework files should be the same. I'll post up my file tomorrow (headed to bed) if you want to give it a try.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:

Hi,

I use mediascape to listen to music but it sometimes plays the audio files from asphalt 5. Is there a way to stop it from doing that?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gibbo82:
I've noticed that too, its sooo annoying!!! Having to go through 150+ sound files and delete them. :0s
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Kyoma:
This has been mentioned before on the forums, although I have a hard time finding it myself, lol.

Create a text file and rename it to ".nomedia" and place it in the asphalt5 folder. It will stop mediascape (and probably other media players) from searching that folder.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decepticon:
As soon as I got my phone today I rooted and removed all AT&T crap, now if we could just get past their censorship of the Android Market.

I have renamed all CSC files and references but no change at all.

Since it goes back to the stock Android Market with no SIM in it and WiFi only I figured it was APN settings triggering it so I removed the proxy but no go.

I setup a default APN with nothing in it and when I opened the market it showed me the Download tab.

So there is something referencing the apn before loading the market to tell it to add AT&T and block certain apps from showing up.

Anyone more experienced than I have a clue?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
Have you enabled side-loading?? Have you installed AppBrain??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
install the stock 2.1 market app...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decepticon:
I have enabled non-market apps but the problem is AT&T censors whet you see on Marketplace (easytether for example.)

I have tried installing the stock vending and marketupdater from Cyanogen 5 for the Nexus One but it still loads the AT&T information and shows no results for easytether.

I am fine with sideloading but at the same time I don't want to only see what AT&T deems acceptable, that defeats the principle of Android.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Here's how to bypass AT&T's censorship of the market. Turn on airplane mode, turn on wifi, then browse the market. Not so hard. Anyways, the only thing they seem to be censoring is tethering apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decepticon:
I know I can do it on WiFi but there has to be a way to do it over 3g.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muhamadabdelaall:
Hi

I have Titanium backup to remove the AT&T Apps but because I don't want to screw up the system by removing an app thats needed for the system, can you please send me a list of all AT&T related applications that if removed won't affect the system?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drachen:
Holy crap. The biggest problem I've had with the device so far is that the Market ran slow as molasses. Now that I've changed it to T-Mobile, it's back to what it was on previous Android phones.

This is the longest I've been on an AT&T-branded ROM in almost 2 years and I forgot how much I hated AT&T's "helpful" changes...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmullins:
I just tried out Market Enabler. +1 for that app. I switched to T-Mobile and now no more AT&T tab and can find all apps on the market. Did anyone else see a speed improvement in the market after switching?

I just rebooted the phone and it's back to AT&T, looks like it's a per-boot change but better than nothing.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shintoryu:
While looking for another way around the censorship (my Evo's marketplace app just got the Sprint 'treatment' like my wife's Captivate), I found "Market Access", which is a branch-off of Market Enabler. The good news is, it does have a "Run on Boot" feature that works on the Captivate. Just set your carrier to T-Mobile, click "Run on Boot", and forget about AT&T's BS. :D

PS - Would post link, but too new. Search google for Market Access.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandoxpolice:
I am rooted and also getting this error

EDIT: went into superuser program and market enabler did not have correct access. make sure you give ME access and you will be good to go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexUs:
Market Enabler = Parsing error...

Market Access = Working, even after reboot. If you want to "Enable on Boot" option, remember (after setting it to TMobile US) to chose "Backup Value" to save that SIM value or otherwise it won't work at bootup and it'll revert to an AT&T SIM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daverup:
The emulate on boot option of Market Access has a warning when you set it. There is a good reason to heed it. When your phone boots with this enabled you may find yourself on another providers APN.

I set T-Mobile US for the Market, and ended up with a T-Mobile APN.

I also found that 3G/Edge data stayed on, even with Wifi enabled.

It is a great app, just use it carefully.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCoder:
Just rename to .apk or use another browser which doesn't change the extension when you download.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lessonz101:
You can just power off your phone, remove the sim card, power on, and access the market through wifi. This is how I got pdanet and easytether.just make sure that you power off when removing or replacing the sim, you might not find the outcome as funny as we will. At least this works very well for att's blocked market apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evileric77:
For those getting a "Parsing Error" after downloading ME from your phone. Take a look at the size of the file, likely it's sitting at 13.25KB as it was for me. If that is the case it did not download properly and is an incomplete file. Hence the "Parsing Error". I didn't have any issue downloading it with the original browser that came on the phone, but I did have a problem using DolphinHD as it would only download the file part way and then tell me it was complete.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izkata:
This works. No need to power the phone on/off or install another app.

Once airplane mode is on, it takes a moment for WiFi to be disabled. Once it is, re-enable it (leaving airplane mode on) and the Market is accessible without censorship. And is quite fast. When done, just turn airplane mode off again.

(And for those who don't realize it, Airplane Mode is the middle option on the power off menu... Accessible from any screen by long-pressing the power button)

Installing non-market apps directly on the phone

I've rooted and can sideload from my computer and Market Enabler set to TMO, but is there a way to download apps directly on the phone and install using a different installer? I tried to use tattachapkinstaller to install the tweetdeck beta, but receive the same error as with the package installer:

Install blocked

For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android market.

Is there a way to get around this or can you only sideload from the computer?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjtheone:
You need to enable loading apps from other than the Market.... :-)

Going into the setting and enable:

Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources

It will then happily allow you to install apps from anywhere (alternate websites, SD card, etc).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izkata:
This does not work on the Samsung Captivate. Because of AT&T, the setting simply isn't there.

There is a long involved process that requires having root, to re-enable it. I'd advise to just use adb from the computer.

[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
So after reading the recent root on the DroidX via boing boing I decided to poke it and see if it could help us on the Android1.5 dream.

Not just can it help us, but it works out of box.

For Upgrade Instructions goto:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rooting_HTC_Branded_EBI1_Dreams

Simplified process (full process is on the wiki link above):

Install DroidX hack

run it

enter root shell

unlock recovery

flash recovery

flash dangerspl [This is very safe on EBI1 devices, its the EBI0 users that get into trouble]

erase rogers rom via fastboot [I always get an unstable install of custom roms if I skip this]

install rom of choice.

Remember to thank the people over at Droid X and All Droid (as I said I just ran it.. they did the hard work)

Edit: its all based on http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2010/07/android-trickery.html

This is a rather scary attack as it applies not only to the Rogers Dream but many other android devices (including the custom mod you are likely about to install)

Edit 8/13/2010: an exploid patch for cm5.0.8 is now available; Also patched in CM6-rc3

On this note if you where one of those bugging me to do some dangerous JTAG operation on your working phone... the answer is officially no, root it yourself.

Unless you change your radio to a 2.x version, you require EBI1 roms. EBI0 roms won't work.

Tell us the rom and someone can see if there is an ebi1 port (sometimes called 32a port) or create one if the dev blessed us with access to their kernel source (or who's binary kernel is in use and we find the original source)

Otherwise lookup fastbooting an ebi0 radio on your rogers dream (if your carrier is rogers also look up the wavier forum)
