Since i got the OTA upgrade to froyo the optical trackpad started acting up. When i try to use it to scroll through the homescreen, it always goes to the 2nd panel from the left after a few seconds.
[Desire General] contrary:
for me, after froyo, sometimes some part of the screen loses its sensitivity after waking the phone. its ok when you slide down the lock but at home screen it does...

WiFi Issue

Installed Android 2.2 yesterday, everything fine except WiFi not working at all.

If I try and turn it on it says "Turning on..." for a few seconds then changes to "Error". Network notification and Add WiFi network are also greyed out and unselectable.

Anyone else had this issue?

I've already tried factory reset with no change - any advice?
[Desire General] matty_h:
Installed the OTA update for 2.2 last night, running an unbranded unrooted Desire on Vodafone. Like some (but not most) others posting here, I've noticed recharging doesn't generate as much heat, so that's a good thing.

Another positive - my .m4a tracks that had embedded cover art now seem to show, whereas before only the purchased .mp3 files had that.

The main problem I have seen so far is the inability to play some of my h264 .mp4 videos in Gallery. The ones I encoded using HandBrake seem to be fine, but files created with the accelerated ATI Avivo encoder don't play at all, giving me "Sorry, this video cannot be played" and a broken thumbnail. Anyone got any insights into the logic behind that?

Also the Market app has lost track of my installed apps (other than Google Maps) in the "Downloads" section. Not a massive deal really.

Hello everyone,

I'm here because I want to create a development team to develop a messaging app like the motorola blur

it has integrated twitter, gmail, mail, facebook, sms, mms .... and widgets are cool ...

who wants to participate? Would it be possible? I want to create an app that makes Android integrated with social networks like interface blur ...

translated with google translate

we can do with a reverse engineering on the blur software??

Shouldn't be anything! If you're device is unlocked/unbranded it should be a process of just installing it, if not just follow that guid :) Have you tried checking OTA?

If anyone has seen this thread on android forums: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/28861-has-anyone-combined-2-1-music-app-coverflow-milestone-music-app.html

Ive ran it on my hero. No crashes, bugless brilliant, including coverflow on it.

One problem, the actual music player screen with play, next, previous buttons is good, but on our heros the buttons for play, next and previous are cut off at the bottom (landscape again is fine, with buttons and everything visible and useable).

Basically, obviously with the use of smali/baksmali, anyone know how difficult it would be to resize that music player screen. I would guess it wouldnt be impossible, becuase it appears to be purely a gui issue, its layout being designed for a larger screen.

I love the music player, and shall get theming it if i can find a fix for the portrait buttons.

cheers guys

There is an apk modifying tool somewhere, someone previously said changing resolution is easy with that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Dormantlemon:
ahh i guess you mean apktool? Ive been looking into it, but the huge number of possibly relevant smali files it creates makes it a huge task. I just guessed it would be relatively basic as it requires no modification to source code, only to the xmls that contain layout data.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Brut.all:
What do you mean? If you want to modify XMLs, then just don't touch smali files. Or even don't decode them at all (-s switch).
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Dormantlemon:
ahh you mistunderstand me, or i didnt word it right. I apologise.

I looked through the xml's for anything possiblity relevant, but that kinda came up no dice, so i began looking through the smali's.

35ish xmls is ok to look through, but about 600smalis is alot. Mind you, i probably missed something somewhere, so ill take another look
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Andyt95:
Have you thought about "3" (cubed) It has a morphed flow theme that is a flipped version of the ipod touch coverflow. It is much sleeker than what I've seen in the screenshots from the droid.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Dormantlemon:
Yea i tried that. it was ok i guess, but landscape in morphflow was horrible and didnt work+it refused to read ANY ID3 art and kept tagging my albums with random artwork from albums not remotely relevant
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Andyt95:
there is an easy way to resolve, get mp3 tagger or touch and hold on the album art and it will give you a local option and alot of network options. If Cubed doesn't get the right album art then the android/droid music player won't either, because cubed is just a theme/fascia for the default music player as you will see with a task manager when music is playing, that's why the widget works...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shadowillusion:
Do you have many apps installed and suddenly your device said that your internal memory is low? While this is happened, you also can't receive any sms...

Usually it happened when your /data partition comes below 22mb free space... But now I realize that I still have 60mb free space in my /system partition...

So to sum it up, I basically just move some of the .apk in /data/app/ into /system/app/

To do this, you can use:

- adb shell > su

- install Root Explorer or SU File Manager (easier)

- add your own method here

Then reboot. Remember that by doing these, your application will now becomes protected application... You can't update it with market and you can't uninstall it (except by using Titanium Backup)... So I just put some of my apps that I thought I will never update (such as some games that I install from SD card :) )

Now my /system partition only have 100kb free space :D

You also can freeing up /system free space by uninstalling some unneeded default apps that comes with your devices. For example, default trial RollerCoaster app or uninstall timescape...

More info for uninstalling this protected apps, go to xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740338

Or you can uninstall protected apps directly using Titanium Backup... Backup it first in case you want to use it later...

One more thing, root required. To root, go to xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739874 or xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739845

Are you absolutely sure that protected apps can't be updated on the market?

Facebook and Maps came pre-installed for me and are protected; they also update regularly from the Market..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
I think they'll update - you'll just get the new version installed to /data/ with the older version left in /system/

So when you get an update, you'll just need to manually delete the previous version from system and copy the new version back in its place (if that makes sense)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] simiancreased:
Very nice post, I have a question, should it be done by rooting your phone first?? Coz u said that u r using adb shell with super user, am I right?

Sent from my Xperia X10 Mini Pro
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FastDuck:
I found this post and thought that this was very usefull, so i went ahead and tried it out on my missys phone.

1st of all, ive done some heavy modifications to the general look and feel of the phone. Nearly all blue is gone. Changed it to baby pink. My girl likes Twilight saga alot, so i changed nearly all the app icons in the apk's, both the SE ones in /system/app and the ones in /data/app.

The changing of images, icons, bars and buttons, i will try and write another post on under the theme forum later.

So.. I went ahead and tried this:

Obviosly the phone is rooted, else i couldn't change anything in the phone =)

I tried to move MyBackup from /data/app to /system/app.

The app is installed and working like it should and i did:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
mount -o rw,remounr -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /data
busybox mv /data/app/com.rerware.android.MyBackup.apk /system/app
reboot

What happens after this is... No icon in menu.. Can't find it anywhere.. Should it be renamed or what am i missing here?

I have then deleted the program. Installed it again from market. Found it in working order and tried things like:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
mount -o rw,remounr -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /data
dd if=/data/app/com.rerware.android.MyBackup.apk of=/system/app/com.rerware.android.Mybackup.apk
reboot

Same result..

Another go..

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
mount -o rw,remounr -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /data
cat /data/app/com.rerware.android.MyBackup.apk > /system/app/com.rerware.android.MyBackup.apk
reboot

Again, no app icon anywhere on the phone..

Last i tried:

adb push c:\x10\apk\com.rerware.android.MyBackup.apk /sdcard/apk/com.rerware.android.MyBackup.apk
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
mount -o rw,remounr -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /data
busybox install /sdcard/apk/com.rerware.android.MyBackup.apk /system/app
reboot

Still failing... so, what am i missing?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:
All is correct.

But using appbrain - fastweb installer apps, you can see if a "protected" app is up to date or not in the application list of appbrain app too.

So you can uninstall it and re-install the update version (if you want) :)

I moved a lot of apps to /system :D

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juergen-fett:

when I move the file facebook from the folder: data/app to system/app with the root explorer on the mobile phone after reboot I can not see the icon on the screen

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FiDra:
Reboot again and you'll see it :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FastDuck:
Actually, apps do show without a reboot.

Problem is that there was references somewhere in the phone to the app when it resided in /data/app... So i copied the apk to the sdcard. Uninstalled the app and after root, mount i did a:

busybox install /sdcard/some/path/SomeApp.apk /system/app

it worked like a charm.. And it shows without a reboot..

Firmware: I9000XXJF3, I9000XWJG5

Carrier: Telmore (DK) unbranded

Root: No

Bug: When you setup you phone to sync your facebook events with your calendar, then events that you have not answered yet also syncs to your calendar.

This means that your calendar gets filled up with all those spam events that companies send out.

Instead it should only sync events that you have said YES to participate in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
You should probably report this to Samsung directly..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maxx001:
If that was just possible :( I talked to their tech support, they just said that you can't report bugs to samsung.

I just wonder how they find bugs in their software when users have no way of reporting them in the first place?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:
*confirmed* only with public events
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maxx001:
Are you absolutely sure? If you have a new event on facebook, then tr and re-sync your calendar. Then it will appear in the calendar even if you havn't said yes or no to attending it.

My calendar gets filled with stupid "Win 1000 Kr for your holiday" because they set it as an recurring event for the next two months or so. This makes the event show up in my calendar everyday for those two months!

The only way for me to get rid of it is to log on to facebook and choose to remove this event from "My Event" or whatever its called on english and then re-sync.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
This might be the original industry design, I'm afraid. Same design has been apply to Exchange event (not only Android, Symbian E71 too), those appointment that you were invited (but you have yet to reply) will appear on your calendar.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maxx001:
Yes exactly! I fail to understand how they can design something so stupid. I think it's pretty obvious that an event shouldn't appear in the calendar before i say that i'll attend this event :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
right now the only solution for this is to login to FB and click "remove this event" or something similar to make this disappear.

PS: you may notice for FB, even if you click "No", the event will still available in your FB calendar until you remove it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:
I double checked it now.

It appears it happens only with public events and not with private ones.

So my mistake, it is confirmed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XQC:
Maybe it's not a bug, but a feature.

For me it's ok, when I get noticed about an event, because I sometimes miss them on the facebook site, as I don't check the right sidebar every time.

But Samsung should have built-in an option that you can say "no" directy on the phone and when you do so (whether on the phone or directly on fb), that it doesn't appear on your calendar.

It seem my jabra 500 on my car hardly ever auto pair up as soon i enter range.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] k1sr:
Seems like an odd question... pairing and connecting are two seperate things... once paired, you don't have to pair again, then connection will happen automatically when you're in range... I would think about replacing your jabra, as it seems to me that it doesn't work...

that, or re-flash your x10, as it's probably just not working properly.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
I have rooted my branded desire from tmo this morning using the macardo method, I now need to flash the radio required to flash the new rooted froyo rom, but in the instructions it says that you need to run the recovery-windows bat file in r5 rookit, I have used the r6 rootkit because my hboot is 0.80 and I cannot find this file.

Someone has told me to flash radio using the rom manager and fake flash method, so I installed the clockworkmod recovery which I entered rebooted and installed rom manager, but when I reboot it just goes into android recovery even if I manually enter recovery or if I try to reboot to recovery with rom manager.

also I get the message cant open e:/cache/recovery/command but it was doing this before I installed clock and rom manager

What am I doing wrong

Is ther another way to flash radio
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalviedo:
inside the R5 rootkit... when you extract the files you will find it together with the rest of the files named recovery-windows.bat file. just double click it when your phone is at the red exclaimation mark and your good to go.

In ROM manager install first the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it will download the files after that just go to Reboot into Recovery and it should automatically bring you to the Recovery mode where you can flash the ROM from your SD card or wipe the data etc...

Hope this helps. Cheers!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Thank you I installed th clockworkmod and rom manager installed th files as you said I am now finally at froyo and loving it

Would you like them to help with developing applications?

Have their one online support forum/chat?

Or how can they help users and developers?

I seem to be having an issue with the facebook app.

If you go into the newsfeed and scroll all the way to the bottom of the current list of post, when you click the "older posts" button, nothing happens.

Yeah I am having the same issue.

I have the HTC Desire which recently upgraded to Froyo and put it down to that, but if you haven't updated yours then I can probably rule that out.

To add to your issue the last 2 posts that I have always seem to have been posted at Jan. 1 at 12:59AM as well, even though I know for a fact that it isn't.

I am almost positive that it doesn't show (and never has) all the posts that it should either. I think the others are right, facebook have never really bothered their arse spending any real time on the application and it shows at times!

Looks like I will be installation the stock facebook and either using the market version (is that any better?) or the mobile web version.

Hi, I want to freeing up some space in my /data partition so I can install more apps...

I manage to get 60mb more space by doing this: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7459981

Then I also thought to move /data/dalvik-cache since it's very big... In other forum, people move /data/dalvik-cache to SD card or /cache...

Moving dalvik-cache to SD card is a little unstable while /cache partition in X10 mini only have 50mb free space... (my data/dalvik-cache had 65mb size)

Besides that, /cache is used by FOTA, browser and market apps to download a files...

Then I look another partition, and I see that /dev partition has 86mb free space! If I do this, I can install 65mb more application to my phone...

Then after searching, I found this script. It must be executed at boot:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo "++++ DALVIK 2 DEV STARTING ++++"
if [ ! -d /dev/dalvik-cache ]
then
mkdir /dev/dalvik-cache
chown 1000:1000 /dev/dalvik-cache
chmod 775 /dev/dalvik-cache
fi

if [ -L /data/dalvik-cache ]
then
rm -f /data/dalvik-cache
mkdir /data/dalvik-cache
chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 775 /data/dalvik-cache
elif [ ! -d /data/dalvik-cache ]
then
mkdir /data/dalvik-cache
chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 775 /data/dalvik-cache
elif [ -d /data/dalvik-cache ]
then
for filename in /data/dalvik-cache/*
do
if [ -L $filename ]
then
rm -f $filename
fi
done
mv /data/dalvik-cache/* /dev/dalvik-cache/
fi
mount -o bind /dev/dalvik-cache/ /data/dalvik-cache/

The question is, how to execute this script during boot up? Another peoples do it this way in their phones:

But it seems that the file structure is different. Also, adb remount command gives "not permitted" errors because ro.secure is 1 in /default.prop

If I change ro.secure=1 to re.secure=0 in /default.prop then reboots, it comes back to ro.secure=1

Any thoughts?
