Hi,

I need to find a way to force disable bluetooth at system startup. The best would be a simple shell (adb) command launched from userinit.sh

It cannot be .apk app, because it has to be lauched before main system process is ready. Anu clue?

Okay, so I realize this might be against the rules here but I got a hold of a

new Swype 1.60 WVGA build with all of the promised languages on it,

something I've personally craved for months. The file size is a massive 12mb.

I was hoping I could harness your wisdom and knowledge to disable the expiration time on this package.

I don't ever want to be without my native language in Swype again.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LevitateJay:
Hey guys I've done a lot of searching and have come up with nothing.

I have successfully rooted my girlfriends Magic 32A and it is now running

Radio: 6.35.10.18

SPL: 1.76.2007

I would like to flash Cyanogen RC2 to the phone but when I try it has an error saying (Type 7) or something at the bottom and just before that it says stuff about H-Boot 1.36 or something similar which I realise is a different version to what I am currently running.

Does Cyanogen not work with the specifications I have? and if not then what can I do to get it on my girlfriends Magic?

It's currently running FroyoRiders rom which installed fine but I want her to have a working camera.

Any help would be great, thanks! :D

*Edit* I have also tried like 5 different recoveries so I'm pretty sure it is not that! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jascayne:
I recently had similar issues on my Rogers Magic with flashing roms, no matter what rom I tried, nothing seemed to want to flash properly until I reverted back to the old radio/spl combo. Once I did that, I've been able to flash whatever rom I want, of course needing a kernel port for some roms to work on the 32a, but it is a whole lot further than no roms at all
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LevitateJay:
The old SPL was perfected and wouldn't allow me to flash roms... Can someone suggest a SPL and Radio combo that work with Cyanogen 32A and perhaps a way to get that SPL/Radio combo? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jascayne:
No, I'm talking older than that. I'm using the old radio with the spl 1.33.2009, I believe that's the one anyway... give me about an hour and I'll point you to the tool I used
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LevitateJay:
Okay thanks, I've got a feeling that you need SPL 1.33.x or something for Cyanogen Rom to install as I have 1.76.x .. However I can't find anything confirming this anywhere. It is safe to downgrade to a 1.33 SPL on a 32A with 6.35.10.18 radio?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Well, for one thing reading the forums would have brought you to the conclusion that new radio and old spl don't play well together. You can only use spl 1.33 with radio 3.22 and spl 1.76 with radio 6.35.

In the sapphire dev forum you'll find a tool to switch radio and spl quickly and safely. Use it to move to the old radio/spl and install whatever rom you want from recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LevitateJay:
Okay yeah I pretty much gathered that from reading around... What I'm wondering is does Cyanogen actually require the 1.33 spl to install?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Not if you don't need a working camera/camcorder :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LevitateJay:
Ah okay so the other radio is required for the camera drivers. Which would explain why it doesn't work on this FroyoRider rom then I take it?

Thanks for your help. I'll try use this Radio Switcher to go to the other version then flash Cyanogen RC2 :)

*Edit* Just to make sure, does using the "Flash Default SPL, Radio, Recovery" on Radio Switcher get me to the right 1.33 version? Or do I need to find the custom files somewhere?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Open the latest version of the tool (3.5 I think) and click flash old with your phone in fastboot and connected to your pc. All the files you need are included in the archive.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pbrammer:
I also had this issue trying to flash RC2 on my Rogers Magic.

Please be aware that if we flash the old radio Rogers will block data.

Is there any way to keep the new radio and get around this flashing issue? I'd love to try CM6 but not without data!

I'm happy to provide any logs or whatever.
[Desire Android Development] pinkolin:
This MOD is two files:

Enable Adblock Update File

Disable Adblock Update File

Download this two files to your SD card, apply (flash from recovery) first file if you need AdBlock, apply second if you don't need AdBlock. This files works at all rooted Android ROM's and phones, not only for Desire.

Source for AdBlock hosts file:

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt

http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?showintro=0;hostformat=hosts

[Desire Android Development] tttommy:
Thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] codeXcalibur:
Thanks, works like a charm!
[Desire Android Development] Ronaldo_9:

[Desire Android Development] KaleBatzZ:
Works very good! Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] kmetek:
where do we put hosts.txt file?
[Desire Android Development] snark_be:
pinkolin, there are extra lines at the end of the hosts file:

</pre>

</body>

</html>

I suppose they should not be there, even if they do not cause issues.
[Desire Android Development] snark_be:
It's in /system/etc but if you flash the ZIP file above, it will put the file at the right place by itself.
[Desire Android Development] zeroba:
Thank you:)
[Desire Android Development] Brodel:
what is the difference between adblock and ad free? does one block website adverts and the other block adverts in apps, or do they do the same thing?
[Desire Android Development] Orphee:
Another way to do it...

And with this solution you can use AdFree with no freeze :

With ROM Manager, reboot in clockworkmod recovery...

From your computer with adb in DOS mode (adb-windows.exe for me) do this :

> adb-windows.exe shell

you should have now a # prompt

# mount /system

# mount /data

# cd /system/etc/

# mv hosts /data/data/

# ln -s /data/data/hosts hosts

# cd /

# umount /data

# umount /system

Now you can reboot your system from Clockworkmod recovery menu

Install ADFree from the market, and it should work.

It worked well for me.

Use it at your own risk.

Just to explain what it does :

When phone is working the partition /system is in read only. ADFree tries to write in it, it crash.

The solution I give is the same as for bootanimation.zip

Move the file "hosts" from read-only file-system (/system) to a writable file-system (/data) and make a symbolic link to it in /system to fake it position.

Phone believes "hosts" is still in /system. and ADFree can write in it because it is in /data for real....
[Desire Android Development] fossean:
Thank you so much Orphee. This eventually fixed it for me after struggling for a couple of hours without success. Couldn't write hosts to system/etc/ while system running; couldn't get Droid explorer to mount files (device in recovery mode). Tried with Root Explorer and couldn't copy hosts to /system/etc/ due to 'file too large/not enough room' error. Tried with adb and again couldn't successfully copy hosts file. All very frustrating, and I wish I understood the problem better.

Anyway, your symbolic link solution finally cracked it, though I had to try twice. FIrst time Adfree stalled. Second time I ran 'Revert' first and it then it worked fine.

[Desire Android Development] posei-don:

[Desire Android Development] Salty Wagyu:
I've attached the links of the original desire-enable-adblock.zip and desire-disable-adblock.zip uploaded by the OP.

But I've found this does not work anymore in Clockworkmod v4 (I was offered to update from my old Clockworkmod v2 when I S-OFF'd my desire today). Something about "Amend scripting no longer being supported" when I try to flash the zip.

Replacing the hosts file in /etc/hosts with the hosts file from the zip did not work either in Root Explorer. The hosts file was 566KB in size, even through reboots.

Fortunately Adfree worked this time when I decided to give it a go again, most likely because the phone is S-OFF now.

Maybe "adb pushing" the hosts file will work for those that still choose to keep their desire S-ON. I've never tried.
[Desire Android Development] emptynick:
Use Root-Explorer and Mount R/W (on the top left).

Then replace the hosts-file.

This works very good for me.

Everytime I fire up my phone I get an annoying popup "Singtel menu is ready to be use", and I found this "SIM Toolkit" application. I'm on OpenDesire 3.0.2. I don't recall seeing this application nor popup on DeFroST ROMs.

Any ideas?
[Desire General] GuestK00445:
Bump up my post!
[Desire General] ieftm:
it's a program, also found on older dumbphones, to use special SIM features.

Sometimes it's used to setup services with your cell provider, or just fun stuff like free sms, whatever. You need this application if there's important services that you can only access through your SIM.

Other than that, it's also used for dualsim cards.

If you don't need it, delete the app.
[Desire General] GuestK00445:
Will the ROM I'm on affect whether this app shows up? Because this is my first time seeing this application.

And I can't remove it. The uninstall button is greyed out.
[Desire General] A-HWH:
I also have the same thing on my Milestone and it seems to be what ieftm says, it just the android replacement for the "Your Carrier Name" menu you have on your Nokia phones & others, those last one with the Sim Card. Where you can access those sms services like lottery. The only thing difference is I can key and find numbers from the sim card.

If you are rooted, you can use root explorer and find STK.apk from system/apps and delete it though I have no idea if there will be any effects from deleting it.
[Desire General] IamJAX:
is there an stk.apk for froyo?

Sim Toolkit

Here in sweden some banks have recently beginned to use Bank ID in cellphones.

I use the sim toolkit to access the Bank ID on my sim in my desire.

With that i can log in to my bank online and pay my bills transfer money and so on.

So it is used to access information and services on the simcard.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Summered:
I've been trying to port the Super Circle Battery with % and I got as far as getting it show on the hero (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7429745&postcount=11). But when the battery depletes, the meter is stuck on 100 until the actual battery percentage is below 90 then it shows 80 on the meter.

I know that the original battery goes in increments of 20, but seeing as Fightspit got it working on Desire in increments of one, I was wondering if the same is doable for our beloved Hero?

[EDIT] AFAIK this works for CM-based ROM's, or at least there's a workaround through Spare Parts that allow one to add a text overlay to the battery with percentage going in increments of one. I'm not sure that they're related, seeing as the same pictures going in steps of 20 are still in the background. [END OF EDIT]

I hope that makes sense to you :)

Bye for now!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mehumummo:
I have VanillaEclair and there are spare parts setting on integrated spare part to show exact battery precentage on battery icon.

I did little googling and I believe that CM and CM based ROM's often does have this possibility to tweak user interface on integrated spare parts.

It's working great, however I don't know if it's possible on sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Summered:
Yeah, I forgot about mentioning I meant for Sense-based ROM's. Seeing as it has been done on Hero before, I hope that it'd be possible to achieve on a ROM that's not Vanilla/CM.

I will clarify that I'm talking about Sense ROM's

Out of the tens of thousand (hundreds of thousand?)

Hi,

What is the correct method to determine what panel type your phone has?

My phone identifies as a KAIS130 in bootloader and is a 'HTC' branded phone (purchased in Taiwan, has Chinese characters on the keyboard)

I am currently running Android Donut (Myns) with the latest Eclair NBH with the panel type selected as "1" (sony) and everything seems to be working fine, though there is a brief white screen that flashes when the screen is turning on.

So does this mean I have chosen the correct panel type? Is their any proper way to determine which panel type your phone has?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
As far as I know the correct way to determine the panel type is trying out all three setups and choosing the one that works best.:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Millence:
That is the only way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
As they said, only by trying them can you see which is the correct type, panel2 and panel3 seem to be the most alike, and only the occasional sleep of death issue can tell them apart.

Basically, if it looks ok, and wakes up then chances are it's the correct type, if the colours are wrong, or it refuses to wake up, or the white screen persists for more than 5 seconds or so, chances are it's the wrong type.

Note that there is no way to identify which type by device type, since the panels are fitted according to supply and demand at the time of manufacture, all 3 types were used as and when available.

Check for obvious hardware mal-functions before rooting (well unless your not gonna unlock bootloader).... Basically use every feature on the phone (GPS, WiFi, BlueTooth) then make sure you have no stuck or dead pixels in the screen, then make sure headphone jack works well as well as the trackball.... After that, I personally called it good.......

[Nexus One General] P00r:
Charge it well, Protect the screen, get a case if you want.

Upgrade to stock Froyo if it's not running 2.2

Install a lot of stuff make yourself a good idea of what you like and dislike, then once you know what are the apps you will be using reformat and start from scratch.

That would be the point where I decided to root, but I did test a few rom making sure which one I preferred.

Also partition your SD card with a EXT3 or EXT4 partition so that you can use up to 512MB of memory for your app, this is off course if you are the planing to install many apps, if not you may be happy with google extended partition.

Take note that so far only maybe 20% of application are configured to use the google move2sd feature, this may change with the current wave of froyo OTA upgrade for quite a few handset.

Once your rooted, get titanium backup you can also consider rom manager and root explorer. You may also consider wavesecure that allow you to recover your phone if lost or stolen...

If at that point you are still not happy get a gun or an Iphun...
[Nexus One General] malibooroo:
Well for me screen protector at least, and a case maybe. still undecided.

Thanks for the tip on the partitioning. I'll give the stock rom a go and root it after a week like you suggested. Is there any particular rom that stands out from the crowd as being the best?
