dumb question but

What driver are you all using? in win 7 i cannot ADB into my augen

******EDIT NEVERMIND, I had to manually select a driver this way:::

in device manager (start->run->devmgmt.msc)

right clicked the Android Eclair, update driver.

1 Browse for driver software on your computer

2 Let me pick from a list of ....

3 Android ADB Interface

worked... muh bad.

Could you guys explain just what the advantage of usb charging is?

Quite frankly I've always found it to be more of a pain-in-the-ass than anything else, especially with devices that doesn't come with an usb ac wall adapter.

Come on. Does anyone seriously think that having to turn on a computer in order to use it's usb port to recharge a hand-held electronic device is really that much a great idea?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thatguythatdid:
I think well in my own it's good when you are modding your phone and you don't have to charge your phone or tablet while it's hooked up to your computer or your drunk to lazy to move and you have the usb cord and your phone or tablet right next it equals easy. I know on several occasions that has really helped me out. But that's just my opinion and also it's just another option. More+options=good
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mtl171:
ditto. just wanted to add that sometimes you might lose your wall charger and having and alternative way to charge it is a good idea(stupid proprietary adapters). also nice to be able to charge when debugging.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laydros:
I'll try to throw something together today or this weekend. At least for now I could put in the proper superuser stuff, and then we could at least have a standard rom zip file to install the base OS. I can put up the unpacked stuff at the same time.

I did a data wipe and then installed the new updates, they don't include many of the included apps, I used adb to pull most of them before I wiped.

No contacts

Has anyone notice there is no "contacts" or "people" app on the GT. Does anyone have an apk for that?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xaueious:
Google contacts sync requires Contacts.apk and GoogleContactsProvider.apk for my Cupcake custom ROMs for tablets.

Try pushing those. Fetch it from an AOSP Eclair ROM.

Side effect is that you will end up with a dialer.

For yaffs, try unyaffs: http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/

Well, this marketplace patch has really helped me out. I'm still a bit too nervous to root this thing - not really knowing what I'm doing.

But now that I've been able to install some more interesting apps, this device finally has some genuine uses.

I installed Aldiko and found a copy of the Kindle apk. I really think this thing is a better reader than an iPad (which I own, use all the time and love). The weight of this thing means that it can be legitimately used in bed without ones wrists getting sore.

I'm starting to really dig this.

Anyone know where a copy of the nook apk can be found?

3.) Finally, which should be done first, Calibration Update or Clockwork Recovery?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vertig0730:
1) Updated and still rooted (may need to re-root, but possible)

2) Never got it working

3) I did update then Clockwork without problem (Then Nand backup)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linckraker:
1. i did lose root.

2. my market fix stayed

3. calibration update. if you did clockwork first then calibration you'd lose clockwork.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] angus1357:
I know that its not working with the correct resolution but that doesnt mean it shouldnt show up in the market at all. Heres a better example RotateD doesnt show up either. Is it the Vending.apk? could that be the issue, an older market?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kdevine:
Yes, I noticed this as well. It could not find them through Search, but I was able to update some (search Kindle - 0 results found, but it would update the apk I transfered...) Strange...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalmatrixio:
The screen resolution is identical to most high end phones sold with Android today like Nexus One, Galaxy S, Evo, Incredible, etc...

In order to make apps show full screen that usually just show a small box go into 'Spare Parts' and un-select 'Compatibility Mode'

I believe you need to do a reboot afterworlds as I have tried turning compatibility mode back on without a reboot and it does not shrink the viewable area of the programs.

I have tested this with XKCDViewer and LED Scroller 3 and have not noticed any negative side effects to making this change.

Did you do these steps off the Wiki that I told you do to? :

Setup SDK (Windows Only)

1. Go into your SDK folder and run the setup task.

2. Select the USB Drivers Revision x Package and hit Install. (No other packages are required for ADB use.)

3. Go back to the SDK folder and go into the usb_driver folder.

4. Download android_winusb.inf and replace the android_winusb.inf in the usb_driver folder with this modified one.

5. Now connect your GenTouch78 to the computer via USB.

6. Go into the Device Manager, right click on the Android device, and choose Update Drivers.

7. Choose Browse My Computer...

8. From here you can enter the SDK folder (ensuring "include subfolders" is checked) then click Next.

9. Move onto "Getting Root Access" below.

10. If that STEP 9 doesn't work, choose the "Let me pick from a list of drivers" option and follow STEP 11.

11. Choose "Android Phone" and then choose "Android ADB Interface" then click Next.

I need help with rooting Android setcpu. Ive installed the memory manager And all was good. Went to install SetCPU Android its ready only. I copied the setcpu.txt to sdcard so I'm not sure what I didwrong??

I got it.. it's showing up now in ADB . it's showing as 0123456789ABCDEF or something though.. haha

Hopefully I can do a few things now..

So those that did the market fix and messed up they're home key's. Tell me what NOT to do. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kdevine:
I am guessing that some of them had trouble with step 8, the "rm -r *" from the data folder. This causes a lot of stuff to crash. Do not reset until you finish removing everything and then hold the power button and just click the Force Close until you can get to the shutdown. This is just a guess, but it is what I did and I have a functional Market (even if it can't find every app...)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
oh ok. Thanks kev, and I don't need to root to do the market fix do I. I'm going to try it now.

so I'll do the command "rm -r *" multiple times til everything is gone except the lost+found that the guide mentions. after I've done that to all the files. then reboot? I'm extremely new to adb.. i should be ok as long as I follow the guide right. and how many people had to do the AndroidID part?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrews240:
Quick question on the Market fix.

Is it absolutely necessary to completely blow away the /data folder? This seems a bit excessive. I am sure that, for example, the third party apps are not causing the Market issue. Has anyone pinpointed exactly which files are the ones that allows this fix to work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
will doing the market fix wipe everything that is on my tablet?

is there another way to root? using the augendev wiki, when i do adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su ..... errors out with 'unable to chmod /system/xbin/su: too many symbolic links encountered'?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] R-james:
Nope, that's the theory-not the reality. You'll likely need 6 usb chargers in order to find one that will actually charge your device.

Just take a look at the very small print that's on the back of some of the packages.

It tends to be along the lines of "Not compatible with so-and-so device"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
Blackberry Mini/Micro USB are different than most of the same Mini/Micro USB's from others. Some of Moto's are different also.

I do know my HTC Charger for my G1 would not charge my parents 2 different blackberries over Mini USB, but the one that came with the blackberry charged my G1. it's something with the ground and another pin that they did differently. I don't know if this is still the case. but just the right size wont always do the job (no pun intended). but usually it's ok.

I think The current Micro USB is the new standard. the thin wide one like the Nexus, Droid, EVO and Droid X all use

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sgyee:
The USB charging is somewhat of a misnomer. It will (over a one hour period) lose about 16 percent of the battery charge while plugged into a 2W USB charger (it's one that can charge my iPad).

So, even with a USB charger or external battery plugged in, it will still power down after about 5 hours of continuous use.

All the USB charging really does is prevent huge drains, but it still drains the battery.

I will be taking my Augen to RadioShack and getting the proper module barrel connector for the versatip charger.
