[XPERIA X10 General] badhobz:
wow! thanks for solving the mystery Martin!

Any idea how i can either import all those contacts to gmail's contacts (other than manually inserting them.. )

Man it's so friggin annoying to have to restore my contact book every time the damn google sync does a check.
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
You could just turn off google sync
[XPERIA X10 General] badhobz:
well it seems like ive turned off google sync and yet it still has this problem. I figure it might be attributed to her having to log into google accounts??? there is a message on the notification bar sometimes that asks her to log into her google account. Could that be it?

Every time it doesn't detect a password/or has the user logged in, will it purge all the contacts? Is there even a safe way of backing up the contacts on SD card and then transferring that file to my HD so i can reformat the phone for her?

[THINK TANK] Remap Power/Lock to Camera Functions & Remove Low Battery Limitations

Hi all, i've had a thread about this in general for a while, but i think I would get more attention to this matter here.

I may not be a dev, but I do believe this is very doable, especially because Ive read this in a thread posted by rhcp0112345 titled Debug Codes which proves that the power button can be remapped to do certain functions just like my old G1 could do:

I also remember devs adding support for a Reboot Option to the Power Off Menu, so I think if that is possible, then it should be possible to add a Camera option to that list, and when the Camera is open, rather than use the power button to lock the screen and capacitive buttons, we can allow it to take pictures, and if you long press it, it will show the usual Power Off Menu plus the Lock option.

Also I was wondering if it was possible to remove what I call the Low Battery Limiter which denies the user access to the Camera, Avatar, Video Player and Music apps.

Opinions? Ideas?

Thanks for your time everyone! Our community is awesome! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Tydiz:
If I remember correctly, the key mapping is actually in the kernal, which means that someone who was cooking up a full blown ROM would directly have to go in and map the driver function to the kernal. I don't think this is impossible, but it may not happen for a while. I do agree though, this is a very good idea except for moving Screen Lock to the menu for holding the power button. I think something simple like double press or Power+Volume Up. If I ever find time to muck around in the kernal source, I'll give this a look :)
[Vibrant Android Development] sic3230:
This would be great!
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
ah so its all in the kernel i see. Yeah your idea the double tap sounds good too! I appreciate your interest in the idea! Do you know how to disable the Low Battery Limiter? would that be in the kernel too?
[Vibrant Android Development] thegreatcity:
While they might not be in the right place, I think remapping the volume keys for the camera just makes more sense.
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
maybe someone could make an apk along with the kernel to remap it to any button you want. i remember the g1 had a hack that allowed that possibility so im sure the vibrant can do it if someone had the will and know-how
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
The battery thing is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748400
[Vibrant Android Development] dattas:
Thats not quite what I think they are talking about. That will simply make the popup that says "battery full, please unplug" go away. The issue is when your battery is low, the phone will deny you going into certain applications, such as the video player or other things.
[Vibrant Android Development] DeathstarsOG:
Any progress on the low battery limiter?
[Vibrant Android Development] Wade-0:
Then what would you do with the zoom in/out function that's currently mapped to the volume rocker?

I think the current "Lock Screen" function of the power button is useless, and would make way more sense as a physical button for the shutter.
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
I second this statement.

No offense to anyone, but using the volume buttons is a stupid idea!
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
so i tried contacting JAC about this through a Private Message a few days ago, he hasnt responded yet but he's been active on twitter lately, so maybe he doesnt check his PMs, i dont have a twitter so i was wondering if anyone that does could tweet this thread to him and ask if he would be interested in implementing it in his kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] xREVOx:
remapping the volume keys isn't necessarily in the kernel. just install adw launcher or launcher pro and add the camera app to your dock. it's easier.
[Vibrant Android Development] MinosDis:
xREVOx, I think you misunderstood the OP. I believe he is suggesting the power button be remapped to the camera shutter, which I believe is an excellent idea. I would love to help, if I could. I know c++, but have never messed with the linux kernel or android rom dev so I doubt I would be of much use. Either way, I would lover to see it a part of CM 6.1 when that comes out
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
Like MinosDis said I was thinking of having an option to add Launch Camera to the power button menu, and once the camera app is launched the power button could be used as a physical shutter button.

Also I

really

wanna get rid of that low battery popup that prevents access to the music player video player and camera.

If anyone with a twitter echoes my sentiments perhaps they can retweet this thread to @wesgarner or @justanotherdev because I can't get ahold of them on here and I have no twitter.
[Vibrant Android Development] adamcooks:
I use mixzing, and it will play up until you phone powers off. Not quite a hack, but a viable workaround for now
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
Thanks for the tip, I use rock player for videos, and I tried some free camera apps but they all aren't as good as the stock one so I'm hoping jac or kingklick will implement this into one of their kernels
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Did you guys Manage to Remove Low Battery Limitations? If not I have, mine is now set to warn / warning level at 5%
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
Hey eugene thanks for your input and contribution :) I don't think anyone made any progress on this front. JAC told me it is rom AND kernel related if I wanted the battery limits removed and the camera button remapped so it's not that easy. I'm very glad and thankful that you handled the low battery limitations thank you so much!
[Vibrant Android Development] monstah_rain:
Just in case anyone subscribed to this thread.

There's an app in the market called "SGS Tools". You can now use the power button as a shutter button, take pictures when battery is low, and pinch to zoom on the camera (it's a little sluggish). Thanks to Fr4gg0r for developing this.

Article here

http://androidspin.com/2010/12/12/update-your-galaxy-s-camera-to-support-push-to-zoom/

Edit:Do Not Download. There has been reports of it messing up the camcorder and force closes.
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
That SGS Tools Camera works perfect. PERFECT.

I'm on Pepperkake V2 btw. That's Android 2.2 JL5 leak. No Force closes of any kind so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master_Ellis:
Try the Camera Magic app

I use the camera magic app in the market. It doesn't shut down when battery is low. Not the best app but it gets the job done.
[Vibrant Android Development] zentronic:
sgs tools?

i found this app that dose that sgs tools got it from the akaskriller site under the apps section it dose alot also has a gallery hack and secret codes Fr4gg0r.SGS.Tools
[Vibrant Android Development] kawika:
i think this "sgs tools" has been pulled from the market. i couldn't find it thru a general search in the market and the QRCode in the link doesn't seem to find it as well. Would really love to see the Power button as the Shutter button for the camera as well.

Hello

I have this annoying beep with vibrate which comes up everytime i finish a call or send a text. The message that pops up is from my provider that shows the call amount and remaining credit. I've had this beep come up on every Sense based ROM i've used (the plain AOSP ROMs are fine...no beeps/vibrate). For the text messages, thought it was the sound settings and went on to disable the notification sound & vibrate for 'sent messages' but it still hasn't gone away.

Perhaps it's a simple fix, so would be grateful if someone could point out.

Thank you

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touchhdizzel:
Hi everyone,

as can be seen in the title I got a branded Desire although i bought it as unbranded.

Long story short: I am now undecided what to do and it depends on the following:

So after hours of reading I am still not sure if it is possible and safe to completely remove the branding and have a permanently unbranded desire with official european rom and radio with which I can receive further updates from google/htc OTA at no risk AS IF I HAD BOUGHT AN UNBRANDED ONE. (I am not interested in custom roms etc since I have that with an earlier htc winmo device and ended up with backupping, restoring, flashing every second day and it costs me a lot of time:))

The warranty is not so much an issue. But as far as I know I can completely revert the debranding process through nandroid... (?)

I would really appreciate any answers to wether it is possible to turn my desire into a "official/original" unbranded one.

Thx

touchhdizzel
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
Yes. Root & apply a stock (rooted) ROM. Problem solved. But if you accept any OTA update, you lose root.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
You don't have to root but then you'll not be able to go back unless you can find the ROM that's on your device. Just make a goldcard and flash with a WWE or Europe ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touchhdizzel:
Thx for the answers.

A few more questions came up for both methods though.

in general:

where can i find a pure stock rom? in the wiki there is only a link to a 1.15 one.

for johnstevedoe's method:

loosing root is no problem since i dont need it. as i said i want to use it like a stock one and be able to recieve updates without having to wipe the phone.

i cant remember where but i read that ppl who had branded desires (i think orange) and used the ota update got further problems with their wifi etc. so it seems that there is still provider specific software (or hardware??) in the phone and it is therefore not behaving like a unbranded one. i guess if i dont encounter problems with the 2.2 update i might get some with future updates.

for steve228uk method:

do ihave to leave the gold card in the phone?

do i have to put it in for the ota updates?

and lastly, is there any resource for the original shipped branded roms? the xda wiki only links to one unbranded stock rom.

Thx for ur help

Dizzel
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
There was shippedroms.com but HTC asked the guy not to release the ROMs. You only need the one update: WWE 1.21 or 1.15 and then OTA up to 2.2 Froyo. You don't have to leave the goldcard in there but it's definitely safer if you shove it in for OTA updates as some people have had issues when they hadn't used it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touchhdizzel:
so that means that it is not possible to fully debrand with this method in some cases?

do you know anything about the method using unrevoked? is this capable of turning the desire into a unbranded one since it replaces the whole rom and parts of the boot etc. how can there still occur problems with ota when all branded software was replaced?

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
As my phone is one that doesn't boot into recovery mode by holding Volume Up + Home + Power, I've been wondering the usefulness of this mode as opposed to adb reboot recovery and using ClockworkMod ROM Manager which still works.

What do I gain or loose by not being able to use Volume Up + Home + Power and, by extension, Odin?

Is Odin going to become the less preferred method of installing ROMs/firmwares now that ClockworkMod works for the Galaxy S?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4kudoshi:
Tonight I noticed my battery was draining incredibly fast 30% in less than 4 hours. So i rebooted my phone then noticed my battery didn't drain 1% for 2 hours. I then noticed I had to do the update profile & prl to get a network connection. After this my battery begin to trickle down again. I looked @ spare parts and saw in my network usage the 0 bar at the top of this attached picture. When you press it I get a "process com.android.settings" has stopped unexpectedly error.

Could this be the source of my major battery drain? Any insight as to what it could be?

What rom are you running?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4kudoshi:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtfmoz:
Any idea how I can strip the rest of those drivers out or perhaps just take the driver directory and do the manual install of them myself. I am trying to roll my own installer using innosetup and need these drivers to install if necessary. I already have the checks in place just need to strip these down to required and best way to install them as presently I just call the samsung executable.

Basically I am putting together an innosetup installer for One Click Root. Already have the .NET 4.0 part done, the program install done and now just need the right Samsung drivers without a large 20MB driver package.
