[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamhosman:
I am running a slimed down version of Froyo on my DInc, I know enough that I am able to Titanium back up my device as well as Nandroid back up as well. I loaded the new software on and then continued in the CMD to delete some of the pre loaded programs that I didn't want, example "Footprints", "Car Panel", etc. I inserted the command to delete City ID and I got an error code. below is the line of code:

***CityID***

/system/bin/mv CityID.apk CityID.apkb

At this point I realized that for not being a computer guy I have done pretty well so far. However I would like to know how you experts out there view the files and then delete them, because up to this point all i am doing is using other people findings and I would like to be able to do it myself. So I guess the question it what do I need to look at my file structure to find City ID and then determine what line of code to type into the CMD?

My name is Adam Hosman I am from the Twin Cities in MN, please leave a response or feel free to give me a call at 612.226.7017

Thank you,

be sure to specify the location /system/apps/filename.apkb

/edit I created a folder /system/apps.disabled , then i used the mv command to move the files to /system/app.disabled

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamhosman:
Yes I am renaming them so they do not show up. but when I try to do it with City ID i get an error, So how would I do the same thing with City ID? That is why I want to know how to view the files so I can locate the proper path and type it in correctly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
make it simple...

cd /system/app

mv CityID.apk CityID.apkb

So no one knows hoe to view the files on the device?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duckbone Apps:
The ls command should list all files in the current directory.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IShootPixels:
I commented in the thread that lists the apps you might want to delete. The problem was with city id, teeter, and my Verizon. It was an oversight by the OP. It should read just as the other apps do.

Check page 2 of this forum. It's title "List of APKs..." I think that's what you're looking for.

Thank you guys for your help
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamhosman:
I opened up the CMD and typed in cd/ enter, cd tools enter, cd sdk enter, cd tools enter, adb shell enter, then Is and it did not list anything so then I typed exit and hit enter and it went back to C:\sdk\tools and then I hit enter and this is what it showed:

C:\sdk\tools>Is

'Is' is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program batch file.

I dont understand why it is so hard to just look at the files?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duckbone Apps:
It is ls with an L not an I, as in list.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
after you enter "adb shell"

type: cd /system/app

then type: ls
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamhosman:
Ok I will try that
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
Also try

ls -l

for long view. Gives more details. You can do a Google search for linux commands if you want to learn more.

yes its something from china- but seems to be the same device (also htc sync contains fitting driver)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Afaik, this is a fake, as there have been a few similar posts here about these devices and how to do a hard reset when they crash.

But to the best of my knowledge, these are pretty much eschewed by devs, and I don't think touchflo is as simple as a cab to install.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] schlagg:
but why in the hell would someone have WM6.5 instead of any other OS ???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hannespreishuber:
a fake? my post? my device?

I have it - i use it.- it works- Touch flo is nothing else the a shell ala spbmobile shell (which works perfect). I already installed two T3DF's which runs in general but doesnt shows up the right ui. Do you thing HTC can change an 3rd party os?

Anyway- I believe key points for shell and working is OS (6.5) processor (Qualcomm /arm) and screen resolution HVGA . If that fits- I see no reason why not.

But back to my question. Who have an idea which of the "hundrets" which are out there could be the working one.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] captainstu72:
You could download an All In One cab for TF2D, and skin that. I am not so sure for TF3d though. You'd need to change the xml file(s) and resize all the images, unless of course, you manage to find one already done.

After all this is done, there is still no guarantee that it will work. Afterall, TouchFlo is for HTC devices and is HTC Inellectual property. I think they must be pretty annoyed that it has been ripped and thrown on to some China Phones, and also is able to be run on numberous samsung phones etc.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddyisadog:
Hi Everyone,

I love the new 2.2 update, specifically, I love having full flash support.

I am wondering if anyone knows how to get better performance out of flash? If you watch the videos at iCarly.com and TheSlap.com you'll notice that they do play, however, the videos are unwatchable.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to make them watchable?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resdog70:
I don't know about a fix, sorry.

I DO know that I am not impressed with the official flash system in 2.2. I wish there was some way to revert back to the HTC Flash player from 2.1 while keeping the 2.2 kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigglywiggly:
Divine intervention, **** off iCarly and the problem will disapear. I don't even know about the other thing, but probably best left unwatched.

Also I have my server have flash videos of some movies(private for me), and they run at about 25fps instead of the 30fps so it gets a bit jittery, but still completely watchable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddyisadog:
Well, that was just a bit rude and less than helpful!

Are you saying that videos with a lower fps would run better? Can you point me to a website where I can test that theory?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eurasian Lynx:
Sorry, I don't have a helpful answer either. I just had to admit, I had a good laugh at jigglywiggly's response; I understand how it might come across as rude (especially if you're in the iCarly demographic), although, I really don't think it was meant as personal insult. Best of luck on your query, though.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim7:
I just ran some side by side tests against a Nexus 1, and can say with certainty that Flash performance on the Evo is MUCH worse. The framerate drops significantly on the Evo as new balls are introduced on Fat Slice Mobile (on Kongregate), and other games resulted in significant lag when sending touch commands.

Let's hope this is just a problem with the 'leaked' froyo build.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeremiah239:
I just went to iCarly.com and the video are definitely watchable the frame rate was good and the audio was in sync I don't know why its unwatchable for you perhaps its your internet speed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmc971989:
people arent taking their data connection in to consideration here...

even in the nexus vs evo comparo, was it done on wifi or 3g, or 4g (for the evo only)?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddyisadog:
My internet connection speed was not the issue, I was on wifi. The issue was present over 4g as well.

I installed the official OTA 2.2 update (rooted) and this seems to have solved the problem. The videos play perfectly (almost) now. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Just remember guys, this is Sense. Sense slows things down. The Sense browser is slow which will make flash slower. On AOSP 2.2 Flash runs flawlessly. Don't be upset if it is a little slower.

And btw, iCarly is actually a funny show. My 3 year old loves it and I was forced to watch it with her. Now I get excited when a new episode is on. Don't hate me! ha ha

Flash games are completely unplayable. Red Star Fall (a very simple game) from Kongregate's mobile site runs at about 10-15 fps with lag on each touch command. It's like this for most flash games.

Hey everybody,

I used to have nexus one, but then sold it to get the vibrant. What I am looking for is the messaging app off cyanogenmod for nexus, or HTC messaging if it would even work on the vibrant. I'm not sure about HTC messaging working on the vibrant, but I hear that stock messaging app off cm works great on it.

Samsung messaging is pretty neat, but it lags pretty bad when texting multiple people.

Thanks in advance.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] oahceasgnikgneas:
You might have to enable a setting within the app that prevents the phone from entering standby.

You could also give Runkeeper a try. The free version does similar things like record time, distance, pace, calories burned, maps your route, and if I remember correctly your altitude change. All of the data is available for viewing online if you create an account with Runkeeper too.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] drjim:
Thanks for the recommendation. Just dled it.

Does it have autopause e.g., if I stop for a rest?

Much appreciated.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] oahceasgnikgneas:
There is a pause feature, but it is not automatic.

My main complaint is that if you have a lockscreen pattern enabled, you have to unlock your phone before you can interact with the app. That might make a difference of a few additional seconds before you can pause or stop recording. Not really a big deal but I'm weird like that.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] drjim:
But is there an "autopause" in which the app stops recording time when I stop?

I don't use the lockscreen, so I just have to push the Power button.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] oahceasgnikgneas:
I edited the post sometime between you quoting me and posting your response.

There is a pause feature but it is NOT automatic. If you don't have a lockscreen enabled then although the pause isn't automatic, it may not be such a big issue for you. All you would have to do is push the power button and then click the "pause" that's on the screen.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] drjim:
Thanks. I'll test it out.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ryan92084:
i'm not sure what you are doing differently but endomondo worked just fine for me today for the 10 mile ride i took.

i did it with gps on and network data off. I downloaded half of the map for my ride via wifi before i left just to mess with it. If you go off the map it still records your distance and route just fine but mph fails.

i also checked out trackerboost (an app for endomondo that supposedly helps your problem). Did half the ride with it on and half without. It did smooth the line a little bit but didn't seem to do much else. Having both running was a pretty big drain on the battery though.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Benjamin Dobell:
Hey,

I've just recently started Android development and I'm keen to learn as much as I can about the whole system, not just about SDK app development. As such I'm interested in attempting to build my own ROM completely from scratch. I've downloaded the Android Source (and Galaxy S source) and would like to try my luck.

First I've been mucking around creating custom ROMs with the emulator, moving apps from the Galaxy S ROM I dumped from my device onto the stock emulator ROM and testing things out.

Anyway I'm at the point where I'm wondering if it's possible to flash the stock emulator ROM onto a Galaxy S phone? I know the Galaxy S source includes a lot of device specific stuff however I'm not interested in getting the camera, bluetooth or anything hardware specific working just yet.

If I flash a ROM with a stock kernel, drivers etc. onto my phone will it work? Has anyone done this? Will it just brick my phone?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Ben
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Benjamin Dobell:
Anyone?

Also, I know people have flashed AOSP ROMs on other phones, does anyone know if they required modifications or whether they are in fact stock ROMs?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jodue:
nje, can't work. why?

1) different bootloaders

2) different partition layout

3) different (kernel)drivers

4) different vendor setup

etc.

it is possible to flash the emulator image onto a dev device (dream/sapphire) but even then a lot will not work properly!

if you want to learn about the android architecture you should start with building a kernel (there is already a thread about that here) and playing around with stuff like the (file)system and utilities...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Benjamin Dobell:
Thanks jodue.

Yeah my long term intentions were definitely to build the Galaxy S kernel and any necessary libraries and drivers specifically necessary for the apps I decide to include in a custom ROM.

I was hoping that I'd be able to start out by tweaking a minimalistic/generic ROM (the AOSP default ROM) on my Galaxy S. However, as you've pointed out I'll have to start out with the kernel and all the device specific stuff first.

I've got quite a bit of information on building an Android/linux kernel both from the thread you mentioned and also the official AOSP page. However information on putting together a complete working ROM seems a bit sparse. Does anyone know where I can find some information on the topic?

I'm also curious to learn about the list of things jodue mentioned i.e. Android bootloaders, partition layouts and drivers (generic and Galaxy S specific). I assume detailed information about particular devices and drivers probably isn't available but if anyone even knows where I can learn detailed information about default AOSP ROMs I'd be extremely interested know.

Somehow, Gtalk sound notification is not not working. Option in settings is enabled but no sound when new message comes in although it vibrates. I haven't added/moved/deleted any sound wav files from any directory.

Any suggestions are welcome. If it's not resolved, I would have to do hard-reset perhaps

[Legend General] supatall:
Hi

I'm passing my Legend (UK Vodafone) on as a clean phone so have done a hard reset as advised. Now my phone comes up in German and wants to set itself up in German. As I don't speak German I'm having trouble. How do I get English as the default setup language?
[Legend General] jahnile:
Did u do a hard reset or factory reset. Try doing a factory reset if needed. Thks should restore the default language. Here is a link on how to do a factory reset for your device, http://www.htc-phones.org/how-to-reset-htc-legend-factory-default-settings.html

Good luck.
[Legend General] supatall:
Hi

That's what I did. I have done it 3 times, first using Settings>Privacy>Factory Data reset and then twice with the button method. Each time I get German setup screens and no obvious way of getting English. The first screen asks in German to select the language (Sprache auswahlen) but this has no effect. Once all the German setup is skipped through and the phone powered off and on, it boots up with all the standard UK Vodafone screens implying the Vodafone ROM is there but in German.
