1. I would say probably the best repository for all things android would be to go to the developer section at: http://developer.android.com/index.html

It's documented by Google, Has a dev guide and much more.

2. I've been using Dolphin since I first got my G1 a year and half ago. It suites me well. Everyone's been talking about this Opera Mini being so hyped I may have to try it.

3. I use standard GMail App but I'm curious to know how to sync it with other email accounts I have through Google Labs.

4. I stick with the default or any apps such as Grooveshark / Pandora.

5. I was using Advanced Task Killer. I'd love to know exactly why/how Android handles apps which makes task killing unnecessary as one had pointed out.

;p Still a noob too.
[Vibrant General] neema:
By setting priorities for an app, the one currently running on the screen is the highest, the longer an app has stayed cached without being used the lower it gets. Android will remove the apps starting with the lowest priority whenever more memory is needed.
[Vibrant General] phragg:
Are priorities set by accordance to how you use that specific app?
[Vibrant General] neema:
not really how, more when.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
The g1 thread for development has a great sticky for adb. I would just root (2 minutes if your time) and download Root Explorer from the market. Just way too easy.

I would get adfree once you root to disable app ads.

Mixzing us a great media player.

Don't use a task killer. It will hamper performance. I promise.

I only use gmail, but k9 is really good and touchdown is the best for Exchange, hands down.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
I can't be the only SGS user who has a router with a non-broadcasting ssid, so how did you guys get it to connect? I looked up the problem with google and it's a known android problem. There doesn't seem to be a general fix for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
My ssid is hidden and I have no problems connecting to my wifi at home.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bayerischbeer:
Have an hidden essid too, and no problemes connecting to it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Really? Must be my router then, okay. Thanks for the replies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
Make sure you typing in the ssid exactly as it is in the router remembering that it's case sensitive, also remember to select your security type correctly as well. Also make sure you're not filtering the mac addresses of the devices you allow on your network..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Everything was correct. It connected just fine with the ssid visible, but as soon as I made it invisible, it would no longer connect.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] IIWAT:
I have the same problem...

My FW is JH1 (Hong Kong)

Please help...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrc4u:
Also had that problem in the beginning..but went away when flashed JG5.. (Current fw JM5 also ok) :-) ..read that there is also an app on market that can be used..look for ssid enabler or hidden ssid..or something like that :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nirvana388:
You shouldn't have a problem connecting to a hidden network but you have to manually connect everytime. Android does not have a "connect even when not broadcasting" option, so your phone will not automatically connect to your network when in range. Every time you want to connect you have to enter in the connection details.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dawgpound6985:
Try the app called Hidden SSID Enabler. It worked for some others:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/jp.sourceforge.soopy.hidden.ssid.enabler
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omaga:
Are you sure about the setting in your router? Like Intratech wrote about the MAC filter? If you make it invisble and it dont make connect with the router I guess you havent given the router your PHONE wifi MAC address, if you have the mac adresses activated you must do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kiwijunglist:
i had this problem too,

i entered in the correct ssid ID and password but it would get stuck on attempting to connect. If I enabling SSID broadcasting then i can connect using the identical setup.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MaestroSeven:
I also have this issue. Running jg1 on bell.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
This is not true in my case.

I had no issues connecting to my non-broadcasting network at work. And it automatically reconnects every morning when I walk in the door.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Skycake 21:
Bell samsung galaxy s vibrant.

Firmware 2.1_update 1

Base band i9000ugjg9

Build number eclair.ugjg9

I cannot connect to hidden ssid.

Router dlink dir-625

Mixed mode b/g/n

Wpa/wpa2

Mac filter off

If i try to connect while its hidden it just says "network remembered, not in range." If I then just un hide the network it connects fine right away.

Help, I really like this phone but there is also a very good reason for having my network hidden. Any one have any success after rooting the phone or something like that. Also hidden ssid enabler app does nothing when I hit the enable hidden ssid button. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
I don't use Mac filtering, so that's not it. I think Mac filtering is over-kill in a home environment. If someone is really determined to break into your network, Mac filtering is not going to stop them. The same is true for hidden ssid, but at least that's not as annoying to set up and use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ferret_tas:
Turn off WPS and Push button

I had simular problems letting Router configure Network using WPS and WPS Push button.

After you've aadded the network manually, under manage networks, modify network, hit menu, then hit advanced, uncheck push and WPS

No problems after that.

Something to try.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tempura:
Did people here try hidden SSID enabler app yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jimbo_g:
Can I ask what brand of router you're using? Is it a Dlink? I'm on JG1 as well and have the same issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
I'm using DLink DIR-655 with hidden SSID, no worries here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RaJ35h:
Hi,

In case the problem still persists, and you have rooted your mobile, please try the steps given in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18671906#post18671906.

That helped me solve my problem connecting my XPERIA X10 mini to a non-broadcasting SSID.

If this is put across as an app, rooting might not be needed.

WHERE does the android market keep the list of apps you have installed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutus2TheMax:
Seriously? It's under the "downloads" tab...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianBusby2038:
Android Market

It's actually a pretty good question.I've run quite a few different roms in the last month or so and even though I back everything up,the Market seems to lose apps that I've purchased from time to time.Would be nice to know if there's a way to retrieve them online or if we just need to keep buying them over and over.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Yes seriously. You answer was anything but. I want to where they are stored. Hitting the downloads tab shows a list of them, it doesn't show WHERE.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrazr7791:
Download Astro File Browser and use the built-in search feature. Make sure it is scanning the whole system and not just your SD card.

This should tell you where they are downloaded and stored.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
This question is highly ambiguous. You may want to refine.

I think he means, if you wipe and install a new ROM, the first time you go into the market, it will remember the apps you DID have installed.

Where is that stored?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Exactly. This is what is elusive. Maybe I'm completely wrong and they are stored on SkyNet I mean Google.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
I am pretty sure they are attached to your google account. So they are stored on skynet, in some dark dungeon of servers they have 1000 feet under ground :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankenstein\:
Actually, I think this is a two part deal. The apps you have purchased are associated with your google account. Free apps and trials have a local market link associated with them. This link can become corrupted and titanium backup has the capability to restore those links. Running a logcat while executing the restore market links process may point you in the right direction.

.....

Frank...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
They are definitely associated with your google account. My market kept telling me I had a **** load if apps on my phone...no mater how many times I wiped, they still showed as installed on my phone. I created a new google account and bam..fixed the issue when I signed in with the new account. Its the weirdest thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tauzins:
How do you get the downloads tab back? Mine somehow changed to a Sprint tab
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekykid:
indeed. this seems not only a evo specific "issue". a friend has a hero and was complaining how to uninstall apps since there is a sprint tab in her market. i told her to press menu and then to downloads since she isnt a geek.

i first noticed this tonight.. weird.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] friguy3:
So I am new to android and have been trying out some sports scores apps and wanted to know what everyone thought. Here are my griefs with each...

ESPN App - The next morning, it defaults to the next game and doesnt show the scores from the night before. Kinda annoying that you cant just flip it open and see if your team won last night, but when it does show the score, it shows the next game right there on the widget. No notifications afaik too, kinda sucks.

Tap Scores - Seems to be behind on live scores and it scrolls to the next game so to see you have to scroll back. kinda annoying. But it only shows your fav the teams that have active scores (see scoreboard)

Scoreboard - Seems to be sporadic in its updates like tap scores (sometimes the notification and widget arent even the same!) and it shows all the teams you have listed even when there are no games. Plus when its showing a score, it only says "Now: score." It doesnt say what inning/period so you have no idea where the game is.

What Id like, show the score the next morning, show the next game and dont show teams that arent in season all with simple notificaitons! seems so simple, wish I could combine them all.

So does everyone use, anyone have any other apps or opinions? Love to hear. Thanks!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Reddog80p:
The best MLB app is "at bat '10" it's not free but it's the best. Live audio streaming of all games from both teams announcers. Scores, stats....
[Droid X Themes and Apps] slow88lx:
Sports Tap ftw!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] friguy3:
Yea that is def the best for baseball, but Im going to want NFL, NHL and NBA too...sticking with scoreboard for now...

U should definitely try sports tap its awesome

[Droid X Themes and Apps] Mikerrrrrrrr:
Do these scores apps affect battery life dramatically, or can you fully quit them? I don't want it running in the background polling for scores every minute after I'm done paying attention to a game.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kamilli0n:
ScoreMobile and ESPN Scorecenter are the two best in my opinion.

[ROM] Cellular South 2.1 "DangerRom 2.1" | Deodexed - OC'd - UV'd - A2SD - LWP

As I promised, here is a version of Cellular South's 2.1 Rom.

What's Special About This Rom

:

DarkTremors A2SD - A2SD is automatic if sdcard is already partitionded

Deodexed - You can apply themes!

Darkstar's Overclocked Undervolted kernel (Defaulted at 710 MHZ)

Zipaligned - Helps out on the RAM

Semi Stripped (Less apks than the stock Rom)

Wireless Tethering

Custom Bootanimation by frysee

Removed Media from internal and stored on SD

LiveWallpapers (Optional)

Fast!!

Removed apks are stripped and stored on sd card (just in case you want one later)

List of Removed .apk's

:

DiscoverCenter

amazonmp3

StockWidget

com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk

htcbookmarkwidget.apk

htccontactswidget.apk

HtcFootprints.apk

HtcFootprintsWidget.apk

HTCNew.apk

htcsettingswidget.apk

htcsettingswidget.apk

HtcTwitter.apk

LearnMore.apk

Stock.apk

Textcs.apk

VoiceDialer.apk

To put any of these apps back on your phone, just use these commands:

adb remount
adb shell
cp /sdcard/"Removed Apks"/[COLOR="red"]NameOfApp[/COLOR].apk /system/app

The apks and should already be on sdcard so you could use an app like Terminal Emulator to install them.

Recommended Add-Ons (Download them from Market)

:

ADW Launcher - Great customizable home screen. Better than Sense UI (my opinion)

Google Voice - Great sms, calling, and the most important voicemail features!

Metamorph - Great way to install themes! If you are looking for themes... Nebenezer has a theme bank with many artists. Check it out!

Power Strip (Paid) - One of the few paid apps that's worth it. It takes multitasking to a new level!!

How To Install

:

1. Make a Nandroid Backup

2. Wipe Dalvik Cache

3. Flash Rom

4. Flash Radio (Optional...See note above)

5. Flash LiveWallpapers (Optional)

Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i7yqfn9m7g1knxs/DangerRom2.1.zip

This is just the radio from the new 2.1 ROM.

** If you are coming from any other ROM that is not made for CSOUTH. Make sure you flash this radio. If you are coming from the RUU, you do not have to flash this**

http://www.mediafire.com/file/u2z11ar9ga6qn3a/CSouth_Radio_Signed.zip

Change Log

:

07/25/2010 -- Updated the ROM to automatically put the removed apks and the media on the sd card.

07/24/2010 -- Uploaded the ROM!

**First boot is a long one!!**

If you have no media, download media.zip and extract the media folder to your sdcard.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hanman:
I'm a Cellular South user and I would LOVE a rooted 2.1 ROM. A couple of questions. If you have previously rooted your CS hero and loaded a custom rom, can a rooted version of this be installed? If you have already installed this update, can it be rooted again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Fixes:

Facebook Fix!!

Credit to dirtpan for finding a fix for the facebook.

Apparently the new update to facebook breaks Facebook for HTC Sense... so to fix:

Use a file manager (I used Astro) and go into your system/app folder.

Locate Facebook.apk

Select App Manager

Select to uninstall update

Go sync Facebook!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hanman:
SWEET! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Just wondering, what version number is this radio and how does it compare to the latest Sprint radio?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flip260z:
Awesome was planning on doing this myself but now I guess not. Godspeed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

:D

So.. you beat Kyle eh? Wonder what he's doing right about now :X
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flip260z:
Technically Kyle is still planning on cooking up a newer version of bittersweet with this. MrDanger is gonna release a stock albeit rooted 2.1 cellular south rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flip260z:
Before and after radio update. Very appreciative.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Interesting. The latest radio is 2.42.01.04.27
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flip260z:
PRL Update ?

Got a real quick question. I have found this file: nv_2.51_20100624_PRL10003_full.img

in the rom.zip i extracted from the ruu. Is this something that will need to be made into a signed update to flash to a rom not made from the ruu. Basically I am asking that since I have the radio upgrade now is this also needed? Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
PRL can be updated with #228.

I believe mine is 10004. I don't know why 2.1 ships with 10003
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Flip260z:
Thanks mine is also 10004 already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hanman:
Thanks MrDanger. I'm anxiously awaiting this release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jbreakfield:
Will using this radio fix the issue of data roaming with other ROMs?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Hopefully. Only time will tell. It can't do any harm though.

It's better to run the radio from you cell company than **Sprint**
[Hero CDMA Android Development] add144:
You my boy blue! Representing Starkville well!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
You're from Starkville?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Uploading Rom now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
Killer.

Seems like this would be leaner than Knugs from hex.

Is apps 2 sdincluded in yours (I know you said you moved the media)?

Also is the wireless tether you include Infrastructure capable, or just ad-hoc?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
1. Apps2sd is included in this Rom. This rom uses DarkTremors new a2sd script. I put more info about in the first post (just updated it)

2. I do not use too wireless tether... so therefore I do not know too much about it, but you can always nandroid and try it out... if it is not please let me know so I can update the first post.

**Edit** - I can say I just tried the wireless tether and got 6mb download and 1mb upload. I was using my phone as a hotspot and did not have it connected to the pc... it is actually how I am typing this revision.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beaudreaux:
The rom doesn't want to install apps to internal memory when the SD card is not partitioned.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Hmm... I didn't seem to have that problem... but I will check and see if I see anything wrong.

In the mean time... you can always just partition your sdcard so that it does accept a2sd... it can only help lol.

**UPDATE** - As I was looking into this problem... I notice that the removed apks and the removed media folder was not on the sd card. Uploading new rom now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beaudreaux:
Partitioned and running smooth now. Nice rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Wow dude, I'm jealous :P Your rom looks like it is rockin!

I noticed btw, that you removed the voicedialer.apk, but it broke voice search when I did that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dlallen:
Facebook Sync

Seem to have the lovely problem that's plagued other Sense roms in the past. I can't get Facebook for HTC Sense to sync correctly. Photos app works fine, but the People app shows no contacts, so you can't link anyone.

Any ideas? Otherwise running smoothly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Actually that is a problem that is usually solved by signing in while in the setup menu but unfortunately this setup version doesn't give the option to set up all accounts as soon as you install the rom. You may want to try to snag the setup.apk from one if the other Sprint roms and try that. I will be doing the same for my Rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
I was trying to install the htccontactwidget.apk using the adb commands as listed and get a stat error. The files are on the sdcard. I partitioned the card fat32/ext3 is that the correct setup?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dlallen:
I'll try that, appreciate the suggestion.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
As y'all have probably realized, I'm still on the CS default 2.1

I'd not noticed it before you mentioned this, but I just verified that it does NOT setup your facebook link (and the app's listed to re-run). Moreover, I've verified that if you go to the people app's update tab (where it's supposed to let you add the FB link for updates) - it'll let you open the link to account option, but then it reports "service unavailable" (though it'll tell you the password is wrong if you fat-finger it).

Looks like a CS roms issue, not just a setup issue (but that's just an uneducated impression).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Thanks Hex But no need to be jealous. I'm doing the same thing you're doing! lol

And I never used the voice search so I will add a note in the first post to push that back on if you want voice search! Thanks for that tip. And I'm going to leave all the theming and what not up to you! This rom is just for speed and stability.

I might have typed the names wrong under the Removed Apks section. It's not a problem with you sdcard. Just add an 's' on the end of it. The shell is very case sensitive.

This should work for you:

adb remount
adb shell
cp /sdcard/"Removed Apks"/htccontactwidgets.apk /system/app

If this problem comes up again... just check the spelling of the apk. It has to be the EXACT same.

I will look into the facebook issue as I also use that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dgl3906464:
I think it's awesome that you two guys are working with each other instead of being competitive about this. I can certainly see differences in end-goal for the two ROMS y'all are building (lean, fast, stable vs stable and full-featured with power user controls) and it's refreshing to see the cooperation.

Also, I think I made a mental connection: the 1.5 down-grade was to correct the PRL that wasn't updated if you updated a rooted version to 2.1, so those of us who did the update from an un-rooted phone and THEN rooted and backed up should have a 2.1 backup with the correct PRL already (so downgrade is moot). Am I interpreting that right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirtpan:
Trying to use Titanium Backup and it says I don't have root access. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jeepman007:
Thanks Danger I will give that a try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirtpan:
Nevermind...Uninstall/reinstall fixed the problem. Was in to big a hurry to get this thing flashed and back up.

Speaking of which, what is everyone's streamlined process for getting back up after you flash a new ROM. I store all my apps to SD, and I have a separate card I flash ROMs from. I flash ROM, boot up, *228, switch to my "everyday" SD ,and then restore apps from Titanium backup. Is this the most effiecient way? If apps are already on my SD card, should I have to restore then through Titanium? Here lately where I flash a new ROM and put in my "everyday" SD then reboot I get stuck in a boot loop. Have to start over by reflashing ROM. I then clear the ext3 partition and reinstall all my apps (PAIN). How's everyone else getting back up after a new ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iamafireman:
Just got done rooting and now ready to get a better rom. I'd like to keep the basic CS rom just without some of the garbage. Can you point me in the direction or links to formating my sd card, and will the one that came with the phone work? Also would like a link to flashing, is that the correct term, the new rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
Everything you asked is done in recovery mode.

You can get to recovery menu two ways:

Hold down the home button while you turn your phone on.

Type in these commands:

adb reboot recovery

(your phone must be plugged into computer and have the sdk tools properly.. which you should have since you are rooted :rolleyes:)

Once you are in this menu.. this is where you can do the fun stuff. You will see many useful options on this screen...depending on which recovery image you are using.

To Flash a Rom:

Put the Rom or any flashable .zip on the sd card (it can't be in a folder, it has to be on the root of the sd card)

Select "Flash zip from sdcard" or something similar.

Press the button to confirm flashing (Home or Menu.. depends on recovery image) and you are done!

To Partition Sd Card:

Choose "Partition sdcard"

Then choose "Partition SD"

Now just follow all of the instructions using the default values and you should be good to go!

Oh and yes the default sd card works fine... but it never hurts to upgrade to a bigger and faster one. :D

Hope this helps!
