Install the Android sdk, add the tools directory to the system PATH, install Samsung drivers to your computer if its 64 bit Windows you need 64 bit drivers, open a command prompt, type "adb install blahblah.apk"... that's pretty much it... obviously your current working directory needs to be the same as the apk file.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
yeah, that's what I used alright..... WAY too simple to use, I mean, it isn't drag and drop to a CAB folder like WinMo, but this thing installs the program for you, making it just that much easier to use!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DirtyRasa:
Wow I'm going to have to try that way installer thing since I'm not rooted
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
Works for my on my captivate. Thanks for the great work OP!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tonysunshine:
how does this app affect battery life?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
the developer said that since it doesn't use any timers within the cpu, it is very VERY minimal on battery.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BoostedSR20:
It worked for me with an SMS, (I use Handcent) but it didn't work for an email. (K9-mail)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
I had to remove it because it wasn't letting me go to my screen our unlock my phone
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jhego:
The screen is already on so you have to press the Home button.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
it was not working correctly every time. It would render the touch screen useless until I locked and unlocked it a few times.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] 60HertzJig:
Well, it's still better than nothing. The app is still very much a work-in-progress, and hopefully the dev makes some good progress on it soon.

I've been trying to learn how to write Android apps, since the dev won't be around for a while to work on it, but all I've accomplished is realizing how incompetent I am in Java, heh.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] _Opiate_:
When i first saw this app the word pixel burnout came to mind. But the dev says the red square moves around on the screen to prevent that so it might just end up being useful. I think samsung and google need to give us an api to use the menu keys since they didn't provide us with a notification light.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
Oh I agree, it is a work in progress. It was an awesome idea, but I was close to some battery pulls because I couldn't get the touch screen to work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Croak:
I wonder about all the complaints regarding a notification LED, since Samsung gave us 384,000 LEDs to play with. :)

I work in an IT department, and have the task to figure out how we control the 30 or so HTC legend and Desire's which will be handed out to our employees.

I would like to keep the phones as safe a passible, with centralized management so we can push apps to all phones, locate them, remote wipe and so on.

Problem 1: Does every employee need their own Google account? or can we use the same account on all phones?

it would take a long time creating them and keeping track of all the accounts.

Problem 2: how do we restrict them from installing apps themselves?

haven't found anything on this yet..

Problem 3: Is there any management software out there for android?

so far I am thinking about using Lookout for antivirus and locating lost phones, it does not support remote wipe for android,(it does for win mo). And using appbrain to push apps to all phones. will this work? or are there better solutions out there?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kekkle:
Why don't you guys go with BlackBerry instead? RIM has targetted their OS way more to these kind of business situations.

Anyway, if you have 1 google account for everyone. Everyone will have the same contacts, same calendar and same gmail e-mails.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kingzion:
The company is placed in Denmark, BlackBerry are not available to us, plus the phones have already been bought.

The Google accounts won’t be used for anything else than the market place. Mail, calendar is over exchange webmail.

Will the contacts be a problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kekkle:
Contacts won't be a problem if there are no contacts stored in it. Just gotta make sure nobody starts adding contacts in it. Or simply disable contact syncing all together, but you gotta do that on every phone.

I don't know about the other questions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kingzion:
Ok, good. So no other problems with shared google accounts?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OldCrowEW:
I would disagree with sharing one google account. There are many other aspects of the google account which are shared. Have you thought about cooking your own roms? You could remove the android market (and other apps) and make it more difficult to sideload apps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Badious:
I'd definitely suggest this route. Remove marketplace all together and sideload all of your necessary apps from apks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] theSpam:
Check out the enterprise products offered by Good Technologies.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kingzion:
So it is best to have individual accounts for each and every one of the employees?

Don’t think cooking is an option for us, as it not will be allowed by our operator, with warranty and so on..

I will have a look at Good Technologies, on Monday. Does anyone have any experience with their products?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OldCrowEW:
yes, def no sharing of the accounts. All it would take is one person to mess it up for everyone else. You could get Google Apps account for better management but they cost $$.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RMZindorf:
Googe Apps

Its true you need a Google account to set up your phones. However, have you thought about setting up your phones with a Google apps account?

Our company has become very "Google Friendly" as of late. We switched our email server out for a very flexible/scalable Google Apps account.

Instead of giving a gps, phone, and tablet to everyone. We found that all our needs were satisfied with giving everyone a Droid.

I am now in control of upwards 200 phones. All but a few are Android (Droids) all are set up under our Google Apps account. If you talk with your Service provider they should be able to set the phones up for you if you order yours in a bulk order at the same time. And yes everyone will need their own account, you would run into a huge mess if you were only using one account. (email, calender, contacts, and settings would all change with one person adding/subtracting something)

As for managing your users ability to download apps. You could do as suggested and remove the market place after you have installed your needed apps. Or you could limit your users to only downloading free apps. (if you set your phones up using Google Apps they cannot sync a google checkout account to their phone. (Is there a reason you don't want your users to download apps?)

Android 2.2 will give you your other request remote wipe, ease of deployment (exchange account sync), and better security.

If you go with Google you get a great community that will be able to help you out.

Free Apps that may help you out.

instamapper (tracking at its best)

wheresmydroid (turn on gps)

pdanet (internet tether)

barcode scanner

gps (mostly built in)

dropbox (file sharing)

It does take time to set up, but I think you would be very please with the transition.

Hello,

Have you found any apps that fit your needs? Do you use them? If no, is your organization still interesting in mobile device management service?

I'm asking because I'm working for http://bloove.com (personal phone management service) and we're going to expand our offer to small and medium companies.

This new service will combine existing contact, sms, phone log and bookmark backup for personal phone with MDM features like centralized app management, location and wipe service etc.

We're looking for early adopters who will have a chance to add their custom requirements to the service and get this service for free for up to six months.

Please let me know if you're interested and want to discuss this further.

Thank you,

Hello everyone,

I have the following problem. I've got a G1 where only the following buttons work;

- Back

- Home

- Call & Hang up

- Trackball

- Menu

The touch screen doens't work anymore. My question is, can i get my text messages off the device? Is there a way to extract them to text files on an memory card or a program.

There is no file browser installed also.

Is there someone with a solution, it will be great!

Thanks!

Best regards.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
There's apps in the market that do this, look up "SMS BACKUP" and there should be a few options there. They are stored somewhere in /data but not sure exactly where. You can try this with adb:

adb remount
adb pull /data C:\Users\*you*\Desktop\data

[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Good Morning Guys, I thought I posted this already but I can't find the post now so must of forgot to submit it before I ran out the door for work.

I sucessfully rooted my phone last night and all seems sucessful. I want to put a new rom on it (possibly the new one)

However at the bottom of the instructions I was following it then said download and apply this Recovery Image. What is this about and is this needed?

I read somewhere that it must be a certain recovery image and I am a bit worried about this part so was anyone could point me in the right direction to what recovery image I need to download and instructions how how to do it?

Thanks.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Can anyone help me????

PRETTY PLEASE :-)

I promise to stop bothering you all once I have managed to get a custom rom on once...
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You need a custom recovery to be able to flash a ROM. This can be done either by running the last part of the rooting instructions again OR using Fake-Flash (some will say just use ROM Manager but I think it's pants personally)...

Download THIS, rename it to update.zip (not update.zip.zip) and copy this to the root of your SD card. Also copy the ROM you wish to use to the SD card. Then use this to enter the custom recovery to flash a custom ROM (to get to the recovery, turn the Desire on whilst holding down the vol. down button, select recovery from the menu and press power and then when at the red ! screen press power and vol up at the same time and then select 'apply sdcard:update.zip')
[Desire General] cez10:
or simply download the rom manager from the market its free :) installl it and then go into it, and at the top you will have a FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY and your current one undeneath, so you click on that It will ask you to confirm your phone and the allow it to access the root and wait till its done and voila :) and then all you do pretty much is put a rom onto your partitioned sd card (swap0 ext3 256/512/768/1024mb) and Install it via the rom manager :)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I did say you can use ROM Manager but I think it's **** personally - I prefer to see what I'm doing (and it's a LOT quicker)
[Desire General] cez10:
:D but then by using it you get less chance you gonna brick your phone and if your a newbie like me at flashing then you're looking for the easiest way to get things done :)
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Thanks for the info all make sense to me now I am about to give it ago. Got 40 minutes until I am leaving hopefully thats enough time :-) If not can someone quickly tell me to stop! Thanks.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
HELP ME :-(

Ok I tried following instructions I installed the Recovery Image that went through fine. I used fake-flash with the rom in a zip on the sd card went into recovery fine loaded the fake flash which all worked perfectly. Selected install from zip on sd or what ever it says selected the rom zip file.

Took about 10 minutes cant rember if it said failed but when I rebooted the phone I just ended up with the red triangle and exclmation mark. I did a restore with nandroid (backed up before trying the rom and now its back to how it was.

I got the rom from cookandroid.com using the Official Froyo from OpenDesire.

What am I doing wrong as I am sure its me :-P
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Had another go this morning using the same downloaded rom I used last night and worked perfectly this time. After the rom installation it rebooted and of course the radio didn't work as that needed up grading so installed the radio then did a wipe on the phone and its brilliant. Haven't played with it much yet so that is what todays 'TODO List' contains :-P

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Max
[Desire General] djoni1980:
Yep, once you start doing it, you will find out that flashing different roms is actually more interesting than using the phone... :D

[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
First, I have had the phone vibrate without it turning on. Wait a minute. If it still doesn't turn on hold the power button until the screen starts flashing.

As for the poor connection and blank screen, what apps are you running? Are you using a task killer? Was your phone doing this with no apps installed?

I don't know what that error means but did you follow the instructions perfectly? Are you using the right tools for your pc?

Have any of you tried using the x10 flash unbrick tool? I was able to recover my phone from any problems with that tool...
[XPERIA X10 General] kkarnaout:
i tried to hold on the power button nth happens...

i used advance task killer the common one its good for a month b4 my phone went nuts( i woke up one day wnted to make a call the phone froze and that was it ....)

i followed the instructions perfectly...

i will search and see if i can find this flash unbrick tool and see what happens and rply back... thank you for helping out !!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] matin_sb:
no solution sooooooooooooo far?????????????????????:mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] kkarnaout:

Was just wondering if someone would be a legend and edit this theme

Minimalistic Theme

for it to work on the Official Froyo Sense Rom by AdamG?

Would be great if someone could do this for me, would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Desire General] Sigismund83:
Hi all,

maybe this has been addressed somewhere already, but I haven't found it.

In stock Eclair there was a "hide" button on the onscreen keyboard. In all of the Sense Froyo ROMs I've used, there is a "change keyboard layout/language" button instead. Now if I want to hide the keyboard (e.g. to access controls that are under it) I have to either push the menu button or click somewhere outside a text control. This approach is rather clumsy, the "hide" button was much more useful.

Is there a way to restore this "hide" button? Or does someone has an apk of the Eclair sense keyboard that would work with Froyo?

Thanks
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I think you need to search for HTC ime mod. HTC keyboard for stock android.
[Desire General] nteeb:
Push the back button and the keyboard disappears ;)
[Desire General] bigdan35:
I do know what Sigismund83 means and it's quite frustrating, I've only just got used to hiding the Keyboard by using the back button, but I wish there was a quick-hide button like there was prior to upgrading to Froyo. I've even had a dabble in the Android's keyboard, but the keyboard is too tall and when I'm creating an sms, I'd like to read over what I had prior and it's difficult to do so.

Gonna check out HTC IME Mod to see if that's any good.
[Desire General] bigdan35:
Actually perfect! I've got it exactly how I want it after a few minutes of faffing about..

Sigismund83, you can download the keyboard from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624416

And the settings I use to make it look like Stock IME are as follows..

I deselected "Show candidates bar" and got rid of the "Smiley hack" within the User Interface by jonasl@xda and it was perfect.

Hope this helps :)

Oh and before I forget, if you've got Dropbox, best thing to do is upload the apks there then use the Dropbox app to download and the phone will prompt to install. But if you're not lazy (unlike me), just shove them on the memory card and install with ASTRO.
[Desire General] Sigismund83:
:) This sure works too, but I'll look for the apk anyway. I was kinda used to this button (similar was also in WinMo devices). But I might as well change my habits :D
[Desire General] Sigismund83:
Worked

YAY! Thank you very much, this one worked. Now the keyboard behaves exactly as I want. :D
