Basically, rooting entails being able to get write access to /system, and being able to access /data/app and /data/app-private, as you shouldn't be able to access those two folders if unrooted.

As for system, you should find the /system partition is read only, and the command adb remount should return permissions denied

I have no idea about the legend ROM itself, or anything like that I'm afraid. But usually there's only one boot screen etc. Seems strange...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorbro:
I swear before I ever rooted, my phone was much louder, am I just quickly loosing my hearing? or am I not the only one who has experienced an across the board loss of speaker loudness?

(*I HAVE applied the pandora streaming quality fix*)

and it did help considerably, but its just not as loud with any application! streaming or not.

what can I do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohr:
Rooting by itself wouldn't have any effect on sound quality or volume. If you are using a custom ROM or kernel, it might though... and you didn't specify if that's the case or not.

However, your sig says your are on CM6. I haven't played with it myself, but there is supposed to be a DSP in the Audio settings now for CM6... perhaps when you installed the build it enabled the DSP and set everything low?

Hi there, is there an app or widget which changes from 3G -> 2G and 2G -> 3G with one click? isn't that possible with root rights?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
Power Control Widget (Comes with Cm6) has that option.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tranceonline:
ok, its good to know that it's possible!

so i need CM6 to do this... hmmm... is there an app for a 1.6 based rom like superD?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoMudder77:
There are lots of widgets to do this. Beautiful widgets has one, extended controls has one, search the market for 3g and see what comes up.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legend221:
Found this one months ago, works like a champ.

Noticed you are using Super D which is the best Donut Rom out there as well :D

Make the following search on the Market: "2G-3G OnOff"

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tranceonline:
thats one i am using now.

but as i said, i wish to have one, where you click the button on the homescreen and it INSTANTLY switches 2G/2G ! not a shortcut to the network settings.

yes superD roxx ;)

I'm having problems with saving my ringtones after i edit them, I'm gettimg a warning saying not enough memory,i have plenty on device and card. i tryed uninstallin and reinstall the app also. any help is apreicated thanks
[HD2 General] toreone:
What options are you selecting and which mp3 trimmer are you using? Are you using the one extracted from the Euro Leo?! That is the one I use and it works great. I just tell it to save to ringtone folder and it works like a charm. I am sure you can select a different folder if you would like.

Do you know where we can get that?

I have one from an euro TP2, but it isn't letting me view the MP3 files.

Hey all

I have the following code to open a socket on Windows Mobile 6.1:

string hostIP = "192.168.0.2";
IPAddress ip = IPAddress.Parse("192.168.0.2");
int port = 80;

IPEndPoint localEP = new IPEndPoint(ip,port);
Socket listener = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream,ProtocolType.Tcp);

try
{
listener.Bind(localEP); // socket exception here
listener.Listen(15);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}

The goal is to simply open a socket, so I can develop on top of this and receive web requests but I receive a socket exception on the line where the bind takes place. Any ideas what might be going on?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Obelix_A:
maybe the options?

serverIPEndPoint = new IPEndPoint( serverIP, serverPort );

listenerSock = new Socket( AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp );

listenerSock.SetSocketOption( SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress, 1 );

listenerSock.Bind( serverIPEndPoint );

listenerSock.Listen( 200 );

[Desire General] undertheeagle:
Hi,

I would be grateful for any assistance/advice. Basically I have an HTC Desire purchased direct from Vodafone. After seeing the recent update nonsense going on I decided to debrand and update to froyo, long story short, froyo not working (constant reboot, no sd, wifi, network) downgraded to the following:

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09

Build number: 121.405.2 CL174215 release-keys

and now there is no froyo update via OTA, is this because it appears to have been pulled or because I am not running the correct build?

Cheers!
[Desire General] martial20:
me same here:(
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
A had the same problem on O2 branded Desire. the trick is to keep the gold card that you made for the debranding inserted while you upgrade to froyo.

Thats it.
[Desire General] satnile:
Goldcard is unnecessary if you do the following:

1. Unlock your branded phone.

2. Root it via unrevoked.

3. Update the radio rom to the latest froyo one.

4. Flash a rooted official froyo rom of your choice.

simples
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
Exactly. the problems described in OP are common on debranded phones that upgrade to froyo. something about the CID, don't know any details. I debranded mine and with the gold card inserted did the upgrade and everything went fine. search the forums and you'll see a lot of user have this problem if the gold card is out.

Also when you debrand/upgrade remove the sim until the froyo upgrade is finished.
[Desire General] undertheeagle:
Yeah, I had the gold card still present, its my main SD card. Im pretty sure the only way forward is to upgrade the radio to v5 + via rooting. I might just wait for OTA to kick in again, as I wasn't so keen on rooting.

Although warranty is probably gone now anyways :S
[Captivate General] marshall7712:
Has anyone figured out how to enable the ff cam? Where can I get the drivers?
[Captivate General] sammyg122:
There is no front facing cam...do your research...
[Captivate General] iLoki:
There is no Front Facing camera. What you see on the front are the light sensor and proximity sensors.
[Captivate General] igm503:
seriously? please have a clue about the phone you are using befor asking questions like this
[Captivate General] THATTON:
Ha ha, that is a sensor bud. Your captivate will never have a front facing camera but you will not be last person to start a thread just like this and you were not the first person either so don't feel too bad. ;)
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Maybe get a webcam with microUSB connector, some tape, and the USB driver to turn the phone into a USB. Then all you need is a driver on the phone and you are all set.

It might not fit in your pocket.
[Captivate General] decepticon:
Open any application that would access the camera

Use phone backwards

There you go forward facing camera
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:

[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
now they need one for our phone and we good to go!
[Captivate General] systoxity:
tim that's really cool. I'd buy.

i really dont know why they dont put the camera on a swivel so you can flip it around. No need for extra hardware, and its convenient for taking all sorts of pics.
[Captivate General] angermeans:
At least one person here is nice to another. It seems whenever something like this is posted people crucify the OP. Nice to see a little kindness.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The crucification is because the OP didn't search or do any basic fact checking.

Start a new thread and ask how you can unlock your phone......
[Captivate General] warri:
oohh thats a good idea, I've been wondering how to do that for weeks!!
[Captivate General] darth_vato:
People who get worked up on an internet message board should probably go outside and get some fresh air...
[Captivate General] decepticon:
Or the fact that it's painfully obvious that it's not a camera. Other than that, the simple logic that a feature such as a forward facing camera, if there, would be something advertised to counter Facetime or at least turned on in the FW if the obvious CCD was there.

[Captivate General] ewingr:
I honestly didn't know if this should be in Developing Forum, or Apps forum. I presume apps forum is for existing apps.

I want to be able to have my phone (Captivate) forward automatically based on where I am at. I had accomplished that on my old WinMo phone two different ways:

1.) Originally I got Mort Script (scripting tool for WinMO), and wrote a script based on time to auto forward the phone. I needed to find the correct app to call to do the forwarding (I'm on AT&T, and it is done in their network, as opposed to just dialing a number and enter the forwarding number). Found that with the help of another great forum on XDA.

2.) Then I learned of Phone Alarm which could do that based on cell tower, wifi, GPS, etc. Loved it.

I am told by the authors of Locale that it cannot be done becaue of inbuilt security on Android. This leaves me thinking the only way I may accomplish this is with a script.

Anybody know of a way to accomplish this? Or may be writing an app to do it?

I am installing Setting Profiles now, but I'm sure it doesn't have that capability build in either. (Well, pretty sure. I'll explore).

If i root my phone will i get access to the 2.1 update when it comes out. will it be available to download anywhere else. As i have noticed 1.6 android is great. any help is greatly appreciated.

Also can i just ask also, what are the best benefits of rooting a sony ericsson experia x10?

thanks

[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
Yup u should be able to get 2.1 one way or another, I don't see y not cuz we'r able to get hold of the minor updates as we speak!

hmm rooting allows you to do mor things with your phone..

Allows you to get rid of most of the crap se have built-in (some have side effects lol so u gotta watch out what you remove here)

Allows for better backup & restore functions

Able to use themes that developers have worked upon

Use apps that you couldn't use before such as barnacle wifi tether, root explorer, adfree, etc..

I'm sure there's more but I'm just in bed thinking of the top of my head lolz

there's also a chance that if the developers are able to boot custom roms in working order we might even get to see android 2.2, even if se don't decide to release it for us

Well hope it helps!!

Hi,

Having way too much time in their hands.. I thought I could try and learn some programming for Android. The problem is, I don't really know where to begin. I thought, naturally with Java, but it seems Android is fairly different, so, wouldn't that just prolong it?

Do you have any tips and links for tutorials on Android development?

Thanks a lot. :)
