damn lol kernel source is 1GB when uncompressed :eek:

gonna maybe try my hand at building an aosp 2.1 rom for this :D
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
If you're building from source might as well compile froyo ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
well for now i just wanna try with 2.1 since that doesn't require upgrading the kernel lol :p
[Vibrant Android Development] ottenjr81:
Someone builds an AOSP of froyo before I buy my vibrant I will buy you a steak dinner AND a lap dance!
[Vibrant Android Development] xplanowestx:
Lol, with the source being out as it is, i doubt Froyo is more than a week off for some of the crazy dev's we have around here.

Finally! Horking the EU source onto the Vibrant has been .... no bueno.
[Vibrant Android Development] jorenko:
So Samsung claims the compass can be fixed in software... has anyone seen anything in the driver for it in this source that would indicate that? I'm not seeing much.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
It's possible that the compass diver is binary, so you wouldn't see much in there or be able to do anything about it.

I'm trying to see if it's possible to create a pure windows ce rom for the xperia x1.

Has anyone tried this before on other devices?

Any tips on how to start on this?

I'm more familiar to working with android then windows mobile.

I have got hold of the NOOK app by BN...it is an amazing app...but i want to read the .pdf books on iy..how do i read the mem card andthe ebook on it...

can any1 help!!
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Nook (and most other book readers) are epub, NOT PDF. You'll need to get something else to read PDF.
[Android Apps and Games] deaffob:
The guy above me doesn't know what he is talking about. All three major(Kindle, Nook, Sony) E-ink readers can read PDFs natively now. Just side load PDFs to "My Documents" folder. Nook can only read files in that folder.
[Android Apps and Games] enragedpaza:
Is there a way to read ebooks that I have saved on my sd? They are in epub format
[Android Apps and Games] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
*facepalm* This is a thread about the Nook for Android

APP

, not the Nook device! The person you corrected was right.
[Android Apps and Games] circleofomega:
Thanx a ton!!

Mayb I forgot to mention, I have X1 and I have Droid Froyo ported on it...now this My Documents folder, where wil it be located and how to i trace it through Nook?

Hey..i tried the my documents, but nothing...how do i trace it FROM nook??
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I've been having the same issue...I can't seem to figure out how to get the nook reader to recognize my books that I already have download from other places...and barnes and noble tech support was useless
[Android Apps and Games] rfryar:
Slight Hack

The only way I was able to read a non-BN book through the nook app is to replace the "Welcome to nook forAndroid.epub" file under the nook/MyDocuments with a different ePub. That way you can read a different book.

Crappy "hack" but it worked for me to read another book. Not sure why they have a MyDocuments folder if it does not read files from there..

[Desire General] well0549:
So what will the codename be ?

Hotdog, hamburger, hashbrowns, Horse-Raddish, Honey, Hazelnut, Hotcakes

I hope it will be a cool name so I can show off my os version/name against those people with a condom tied around their phone (Yessssssssssssssss iPhone flame again).

Cause i really do think Gingerbread is not a cool name.... FroYo on the other hand is....

So i am really looking forward to say to those iPhone loosers, hey look at my Desire it is running Froyo ! ( Then i will hold it the way that is forbidden for their phone and will whisper : btw do you notice the DEATH grip and the Reception I got, "holding it the wrong way !!")

(And to the people who upgraded their 3g or 3gs i will also wisper something about the incredible performance boost the new os has bring me. I will then politely ask them about their performance improvements with iOS4 !)

LOL
[Desire General] chichoko:
You are so mean mate :P In terms of hardware.. the 3g/3gs is light years behind.. on par with the iPhone 4 on the other hand.. the only drawback is the deathgrip.. But I am proud of my Desire aswell and cant wait for the frozen yoghurt to come.. On the other hand.. I vote for Have-that-Apple!!! 8-)
[Desire General] well0549:
Besides the fact that we don't have a death grip, and we do have lightning fast everything on our device (even with Eclair), we don't belong to that group of people who are blindly following their great big leader....

We can think for our own !. (And yes we do need flash in the future to come)

see here : http://www.technewsworld.com/story/70333.html?wlc=1280493001

But for a lot of people the reality is: Jobs said we didn't need it, and if he says so, it's the absolute truth. Everybody who is saying something else is a liar.

( I wonder if Jobs is about as religious about his religion, as he is about his products....And his followers, who are not a buhddist ?)
[Desire General] kuailan:
Job is not a budhist...

CANT YOU SEE he is

Ireligious....he goes to IChurch...and he probably love eating Iburger freshly cooked from his own created Imicrowave and sitting on those Isofa while watching ITV. When he finish he just go to his Ibed....:D

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilmikeyv:
So with all the great guides and help from others on here I was able to root and check out a few different roms and was even able to switch back and forth using nand backup and restore. Being new I was sticking with the sprint based roms, certain days I do like sense. I had 3 different ones and using amon RA 1.6.2. could navigate between them. Then I went to a froyo aosp which is superfast and I love, but I somehow switched to clockwork recovery...after moving the nands over so I could see them and then tried to restore and got boot loop errors on all of them. Did I do something wrong? I switched to amon RA 1.7 for recovery to see if that helped and same thing. Is there any way to fix?!? Please, any and all help is greatly appreciated...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
Switch back to your original recovery, to restore those nands.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
clockwork and amon ra 1.7 use a different a2sd method. If you're not using a cm based rom(or restoring/backing up), you need to run amon ra 1.6.2

Hi Guys,

How to compile CyanogenMod Android app from source , download source files from

http://github.com/CyanogenMod , but use eclipse to import app source don't to compile .. ?
[Desire General] Noodled24:
Was wondering if anyone knows why the voice button is missing from the software keyboard on the Desire on the UK Orange network? Also how to add/unlock this feature?

Is this feature missing from all UK network ROMS?

With the FROYO update due reasonably soon i'd rather not root or change roms. Is there a way to add the voice commands to the keyboard without doing this?
[Desire General] GarlicYoda:
Have you tried holding down the physical search button?
[Desire General] Flaggie:
I believe it is because the voice search is calibrated on an American accent and therefore could lead to troubles and hence was disabled
[Desire General] Noodled24:
@ garlicyoda yes m8, but this allows only voice search. The button on the keyboard allows the user to compose SMS or Status updates via voice.
[Desire General] Noodled24:
That makes sense I guess. But the voice search works reasonably well.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deech:
Right, back story...Orange have finally upgraded the Hero to 2.1 HOWEVER the little buggers have hard coded thier answer phone into the People Widget, it appears in all catagories and sits at the top of the list, it looks awefull and frankly isnt needed.

Soooo can anyone either extract the widget from a stock ROM and then would it be possible to install as say People2 and use that without the hard coded answer phone contact OR is it possible to write a widget that can do the same as people but again sans the hard coded Answer phone, oh and without having to root the phone etc :P

Answers on a post card please :)
[Wildfire General] o0o Wiggy o0o:
Hi all,

I myself have a Touch Pro 2 with windows mobile 6.5 and i'm able to access the storage card via File Explorer...

My girlfriend has got the new HTC Wildfire with Android os but i cant seem to find a way of accessing the storage card on the phone....is it possible? i know i can connect it to pc and access it but i wanted to access it on the actual phone.

Cheers
[Wildfire General] warriorvibhu:
SOLVED

Ok so here is a simple solution .. just tap on the bottom left arrow on your wildfire screen .. this will open apps... Now go to market and enter search term "File Manager" there are lot of options available there.. ALTERNATIVELY you can tap the Market shortcut on ur home screen (If its there).. >> and search as stated above.

Note :: I am using Androzip...which is very good... there are other good ones too like Astro and Linda.. you can directly search these names too...
[Wildfire General] o0o Wiggy o0o:
Thank you very much.
[Desire General] TurkzZ:
hi, ill be going to turkey in a few days and i was wondering how to make sure no unwanted charges occur. now it seems t-mob charge the ridicules price of 7.50 per mb, and calls are 1.50 a min or sommin stupid like that.

If i stay in aeroplane mode but keep wifi on, it would be safe right? is there anything else i gota watch out for,

and lastly does anybody know if T-mob offer a unlimited data plan for a month aboard or something, i cant find it on-line or over the phone :(
[Desire General] sh500:
Just turn off the 'Data Roaming' option or perhaps even better turn off the 'Mobile Network' option.

I've never heard of a unlimited data plan for abroad use.

You can buy 'aboard boosters' from T-mobile (UK) such as Euro Boosters with so many minutes for a certain cost.

If you really need unlimited data then probably best to use a local SIM card over there (providing you've unlocked your phone of course)
[Desire General] Airwalker82:
I went to the States last month and just switched off Data Roaming, and Always on data networks. Phone still works, just can't use anything that uses the net.
[Desire General] TurkzZ:
kool, where do i turn data roming off and always on data networks, also will wifi work without these options
[Desire General] Airwalker82:
Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks.

Both options are in there (Data Roaming should be at the top, with Always On at the bottom).

Wireless will work fine without either of these options enabled.

I would suggest getting an app like NetCounter so you can keep an eye on what's going in/out - though nothing should be going through the network if both options are disabled.
[Desire General] TurkzZ:
cheers guys
[Desire General] b166er:
Hey TurkzZ,

I was in France recently and I must say, TMO were very responsible.

When I arrived in France, they sent me a text advising how much it would cost to make and receive calls and texts and how much per MB data (this was a little confusing, because I couldn't use data anyway unless I bought a booster, see below).

That said, I opted for a weeks data for £5 but it wasn't quite enough and I topped up twice for £1. Should have bought £10 in the first place.

Basically, you can't use data until you pay for it (get redirected to a payment portal if you try and surf for example) and when you use up that booster, you can't use any more data until you get another booster. Pretty hard to get caught out.

All in all, with the boosters and a couple of calls/texts here and there, my bill was over by about £15.

Enjoy the weather in Turkey

BTW, calls in France were £0.35 to make and £0.15 to receive if I remember correctly.
[Desire General] petzlux:
Only thing to watch out is the euro text/call boosters tmob offer you in the text message. I always presumed that they are a one off, but i found out that once you order one through sms, tmob put them on your account as a montly option!! I had to call customer services to have them removed from my account the next month ...
[Desire General] TurkzZ:
Cheers guys , I'm in turkey now , un checked those 2 options and also selected aeroplane mode, and on WiFi now, what is strange is that I can access YouTube which is blocked here wid the YouTube app, and even.mote interesting , I can download Iplayer programs via myplayer app lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] da-vid:
I'm getting a new phone hopefully within the next two weeks, and I'm going to be trading in my Magic. It's rooted and I've flashed to the 6.35 radio and 1.76 radio, so what do I do? Can I just download the official Sense UI from HTC's website and run that -- would that work? Or would I have to change my radio first or something?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Is it still under warranty? If so, you should return it to the ROM it was delivered with. Did you back your phone up with nandroid before you rooted it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] da-vid:
Assuming it has a 1-year warranty, it would've ended about a month ago. Yes, I have a nandroid backup of the original ROM, but do I need to change my radio/SPL or something to restore it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Well, if it's no longer covered by warranty just leave it with the radio and spl you have now, but wipe your data and cache from recovery and reinstall your ROM. You could sell it with something fast and stable installed, with everything working - like an overclocked CursorSense :) Other than that, you should be okay.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] da-vid:
Hmm... alright, thanks for the advice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zoltrix:
how can you backup with nandroid BEFORE root?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Well, the way I rooted my 32A was use FlashRec to install a custom recovery and then flash the engineerings SPL from there, so I had the chance of doing my backup before I changed anything. Also, FlashRec makes a backup of your stock recovery image, which you can also flash back :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zoltrix:
you got a link to the tut?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
What tut? For rooting or unrooting? You can find both on this forum, but I don't have the links, sorry. You can also try the unlockr website.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zoltrix:
IT's just that ive asked if i can make a nandroid backup before i root so that if i dont like the custom rom, or i just wante to bo back to what i had before i can.
[XPERIA X10 General] katem:
Hi

the phone restart

and i turn copilot again and restart two or three times

then it dosn't restart but i lose the signal of the gps

i have the restart problem also if i play games

i don't know may be bcoz of temp of the phone

the battery meter show me 41 C

it restart when it go hot or what

thank you in advance
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
Ughh. Not sure. But the temperature shouldnt be a problem since I reach 45+ when gaming.
[Desire General] stats101:
I had my replacement brand new desire from Orange after waiting for a very very long while. two things which i'm unsure about...

1. The screws once the back cover is opened. 3 out of 4 of them have silver metal showing as if it's been opened by screw driver. Concerned that I may have been given a refurbished phone in a new box. Can someone check thier new phone to see if they see something similar.

2. Using the HTC Sense live wallpaper, the transitions from screen to screen aren't as smooth as with the other live wallpapers. Can't recall my other phone struggling with this wallpaper. can someone check theirs?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Desire General] jstegeman:
for #1 - 2x phillip-head (X-shaped) screws, and 2x torx-head screws. Both are completely matte black in colour, no silver showing at all.

I don't use live wallpapers
[Desire General] Vilem:
Top right and bottom right should have the 'VOID' label glued on, are they still there ?
[Desire General] stats101:
yep - the void labels are still there. but the other screws look like they've been tampered with.
[Desire General] stats101:
I don't use live wallpaper neither... but i'm just using it to quickly assess the performance to the replacement phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
Hi,

I'm going to buy a Galaxy S today, and I'm curious whats the difference between the non-locked and sim locked devices, if I'd like to root/flash'em? In other words, is it better to buy a device from T-Mobile (my mobile service provider) with sim lock or I should buy the phone in a retail Samsung store?

Thanks for your replies, I appreciate all kind of information/help since I am just another newbie on the Android platform.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
there is no much different in the surface, other than you are locked to the carrier.

the device is almost the same with the exception of the missing front facing camera in the USA versions

the international 9000 version has the front facing camera, and it's unlocked

the rest are software differences and variants between phone carriers and international versions

the only other minor difference between them all is the amount of STORAGE space available from carrier to carrier, and vs. the international versions

ranging anywhere between 2 GB to 16 GB
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
Hi,

I'm planning to get a HD2 soon but I have a question regarding the text highlighting which is very important for me before choosing this phone.

On previous resistive screens like the Jasjar/Htc Touch Pro2..etc, after typing texts, you can quickly highlight them by pressing the finger on the screen and move left/right with the desired texts being selected. While on the Iphone and the Vodafone H1 360 which have capacitive screen, this method of selecting specific texts is not possible. I would like to know if this method applies to the HTC HD2 also?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
yes you can select with a finger drag.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzyzx80:
you can select with finger drag but it will never be accurate. this is limitation of capacitive screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3agle:
It can be done, if that method is giving you trouble you can always go to the edit keyboard and press select text and use the arrows to get exactly what you need.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
(that edit keyboard is only available when using swype, it doesn't come as standard on non tmous phones)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
ok thanks for your reply. I think i won't go for the HD2 for the moment because selecting texts is my primary concern as I emails/texts a lot. THanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] farhan032:
Just updated via SEUS to the latest f/w R2BA026 thinking that it could only improve upon the existing performance:rolleyes:

However my mediscape experience has actually become worse ...Now the photo browsing does not scroll in a smooth manner (as introduced in in the 020 / 023 version) ... :mad:

While browsing photos I get the circular 'thinking' animation everytime & I feel it is taking longer to switch between photos

Anyone else faced this issue yet? Any suggestions..please help :confused::confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Mediascape is faster for me lol, maybe do a factory reset.
[XPERIA X10 General] chadamcmillan:
I can confirm that mediascape is much faster for me after 026 update.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
But mediascape is still not fast enough, especially when you have like 1000+ songs
[XPERIA X10 General] phanquangkhanh:
Do you know how to remove a track out of the mediascape's song lists? I installed HAWX3#. After that, mediascape loaded all the sound files from the game's data folder. Now, in the song list, there are about 550 sound file from the game. This is really suck
[XPERIA X10 General] farhan032:
I guess i will have to re-install the firmware again using the repair option in SEUS .. its just not clicking for me at the moment.

Will reflash & let you guys know
[XPERIA X10 General] cricka15:
yeah I see what you mean, although once its cached the image it does the regular sliding animation. bit weird, before I think it slid with reduced quality and then sharpened it up, which imo is better as you see the image sooner.
[XPERIA X10 General] viks X10i:
i feel its better n faster than before..
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
Try use a file manager, go to the games directory where the sound files are located then insert a file called .nomedia (no other file extensions or data needed) n c what happens!

Hope it helps!!
[XPERIA X10 General] sanjay_2001:
is this R2BA026 update available in india!!!

Just finished doing a factory reset ... & now i can confirm too that the problem i was facing is gone!! :D:D Swiping images is now smooth !! :):)

However i have to mention ..the proces was a pain......i spent the last two hours re-tagging all my photos, restoring backups, installing apps, setting accounts & widgets and wat not !!!!

Also i forgot the name name of an app ( a data toggle widget which looked like a lever switch ) :o:o:o
[Captivate General] metaltyphoon:
After being on the charger after 7 hours as soon as I take out of the charge my battery his down to 98%. I made one phone call of 2 min and 3 txt messages and it dropped another 1 percent. Before this charge I let it fully drain. Anyone?
[Captivate General] born_fisherman:
I experience the same results - When the phone is powered off and on the charger, it only goes to 98% (according to the settings-->about phone-->Status-->battery level

However, if you turn the phone on, and charge, it will reach 100%..
[Captivate General] metaltyphoon:
this is insane... my bat is down to 93% and since the first post to now i haven't even USED the phone... i think my phone is not going into full sleep whatsoever. I uninstalled 3g watchdog yesterday as some people mentioned in other forums that sometimes it wouldn't let the phone go into sleep mode. No kidding... that i only noticed this dramatic change in battery time after i installed LauncherPro. when i was using touchwiz on my second charge the phone lasted a full day with moderate use and i didn't even drain the whole battery. Yesterday was the first day i left the battery to die, i had this phone since last friday.
[Captivate General] meatrocket:
I was experiencing excessive battery use when I was running LauncherPro. I switched to ADW.Launcher and it went away. I also use JuiceDefender to manage connections while the screen is off. It disables data connections and turns them on for 1 minute every 15 minutes to update any data streams & then turns the data connection back off. I can get around 14 hours of light to moderate use now.
