[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russe.k:
The last while my HD2 wont connect with my desktop. I connect with the USB and the phone just charges i cant physically move files unless i change to Disk drive. I thought this might have been a problem with the ROM i installed (Dutty's Creme De la Creme) But the phone connects to my laptop as it normally would and any other computer.

I recently did a fresh install of my pc OS and i still seem to have the same problem i still cant locate the phone. (unless i choose disk drive)

Iv tried everything that i can think of to fix it but nothing. Can anyone shed any light

Cheers,

russe

Hi Guys,

if you are living in Germany and want to buy an unlocked Dell Streak then you should go to the MediaMarkt. BUT If you are going between today and 11th August 2010 then you are getting this beauty around 19% cheaper. just bought mine for ~ 485 Euro :) The Mediamarkt in Bremen-North is already sold out :)
[Streak 5 General] mrwl:
Thanks for the suggestion. I bought mine on August 6th at Media Markt Lueneburg for the nice price of 599 Euros :((

Can some one let me know what I am doing wrong here.

I want to remove parts 1 and 2 from the boot image, I just want the bouncing logo.

I removed the part1 and part2 folders from the zip and removed the part1 and 2 info from the desc.txt file (also removed some of the images from the android folder).

Rezipped them compression set to store, but all I get is a black screen?

Any help.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuli:
Perfect, thanks!

I had a noob moment (actually mostly a stupid moment)

I used root explorer to move gmail.apk from zip to system apps folder but never thought I actually need to install it. :o

I then installed it using astro and everything seems to be working.

Is it okay to do it that way? Can you just install it like normal apk from sdcard?

2.2.1 seems nice. The biggest difference is a large reply arrow on top. When you press it reply, reply all, forward scroll in. This is a bit nicer than before.

Thanks fir the help!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
No problem,

As for installing from the sdcard, I dont think you'll have a problem.

I usually just adb push any system app.

For those curious to learn, the tap3w0rm mirror is under my control (graciously donated by CM user tap3w0rm). The UP gapps package was released to CM IRC users around CM6 RC1, as testers, and has since been included in the hdpi and mdpi packages that attach to CM6. As speculated above, the package is made from the HTC 2.2 leak that surfaced a while back.

I did some restructuring the other day, so the link on page #1 is defunct, use http://www.tap3w0rm.com/hosted/android/gapps/gapps-hdpi-20100817-signed.zip if you'd like the full update package (or just grab the individual apk from the multi-upload link in this thread)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Installation is not necessary since all I had to do is used root explorer and renamed the file Gmail.apk - Android which is Linux like all Unix is case sensitive so everything is lowercase except for the G which is uppercase. I then renamed the original Gmail.apk in /system/apps as Gmail.apk.old, as a backup, you can delete the file if you want and then just pasted the new Gmail.apk in /system/apps and then changed permissions on the file so it's rw-r--r-- for the permissions and then power off and on the DROID1 and it's 2.2.1. It won't work until you reboot the phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] productofusa:
(offtopic newb story)

This one bit me in the butt the other day when I went to switch the stock GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk via Root Explorer, with that sweet black one in Themes & Apps. I renamed/moved the stock one to sdcard, then moved the new one to /system/app, reboot, eh? didn't show up when I selected widgets from the desktop, went back to /system/app, longpress, permissions, r,r, (if I remember correctly) User and Group. Reboot, viola'

I was kinda confused in that I couldn't figure out if it actually needed to be installed or not. Apparently not, just needed correct permissions. I really need to do more homework!

(/offtopic newb story) :confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
productofusa:

Even though I had been using Unix since 1989, Android is still new to me but I learned this when I had a problem installing Street View for Google Maps and someone said they basically moved the file from /data/apps and renamed it to Street.apk and also moved the file and renamed to Maps.apk in /system/apps so I tried it and it worked so then yesterday, I moved Twitter.apk, Facebook.apk as well as both the QuickSearchBox and VoiceSearch and they all worked. The permissions should be owner (rw), group (r), world (r). x just means executable.

Rebooting is needed unless there is a way to reload the .apk's without rebooting which I'm sure is possible if I knew the Android system well enough. The file permissions have three sets of permissions, the owner of the file need read and write access while the group and world (other users) only need read access.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] productofusa:
Yeah, when I tried to install it from the Market I got the "Install Unsucessful" thing, however after reading this post and looking I do see Street.apk in /system/app.

Same file? Or am I not understanding you correctly. If yes, then why?

I REALLY don't get this? Were none of these working? If yes, then what kind of screwed up ROM/Gapps are you using? LOL

Interesting, on my N1 its (on say, Street.apk) User, Group, Others, i'm maybe offbase here but I take this to mean "User" Permissions for how I interact with the file, "Group" Permissions for how other related files interact with the file? "Others" Permissions for how any file interacts with the file? Second thought, i'm probably way offbase here, but would really like some clarification from a more advanced user.

I despise bumbling around in the operating system to get things to work without understanding more about the underlying cause/effect, but in this case i'm just happy it works, and it also gives me better direction for the homework I need to do!

If I did this kinda stuff in my chosen career people would be getting electrocuted/fires/general mayhem daily LOL.

EDIT: OffTopic, sorry, Started new thread [Q] Permissions questions/clarification
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Basically I think what he did was first delete the /system/apps/Street.apk and Maps.apk, rebooted and then installed the new version of Maps and Street View from market except everything installs to /data/apps with com.google.* for the filename so even if you had Street.apk and Maps.apk in /system/apps and the new versions in /data/apps, you would actually have 2 versions of the file so hogging up 2x the space. So when he moved it to /system/apps and renamed them, he would only use space for 1 copy of the app and not 2.

All of them were working but think of it like this... All the stock apps meaning those in /system/apps and if they have updates, they get installed in /data/apps so basically you have the original version in /system/apps and then the current version you're using in /data/apps so when you move it back to /system/apps and rename it correctly, you basically save space as you won't have 2 copies of the app taking up space when only the newer version will be used.

Actually, the way it works is that when you have a file or directory, it is owned by a user and a group. In our case, the user is root and the group is 0 which is the wheel group. So in a file, you can have permissions that show rwxrwxrwx which is basically 3 sets and only when the permission is set will you see the letter there. The first set is the owner's permission, the second set is the group and the third set is everyone else which is known as world or others. For each, you can have read, write and executable permissions. You can read more about it here:

The way I believe it works, and I might have the percentages slightly wrong is, especially the way they get rounded:

Actual/Graph

50-79%/75%

25-49%/50%

>25%/25%

So, yes, you are always getting a readout that isn't very telling and is a step-gradual reading. The time you have the most information is right around, if/when you see a change. Other than that it can be barely more telling than a sundial :rolleyes: .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] veper:
Wrong info is in the notification bar (graphic battery). I've noticed the change upgrading to JM5 from JG5. Downgrading back to JG5 reverses the situation, which means the change is in framework-res.apk.

Welcome to Sprint, the NOT Network

or

Welcome to Sprint, The Now UNnetwork.

sprint and slow speeds/spotty service go hand in hand.

to be truthful, people have reported that an unrooted stock phone does better in the same location than a rooted phone.

but others have reported no difference.

for me its a mixed bag but the difference is minor, minor enough that you can chaulk it up to margin or error.

my speeds in my town are fracking all over the spectrum, and i mean that. it's never the same form hour to hour.

and worst of all at my work location and the surrounding 3/4 to 1 mile radius is in a Data Dead Zone, there is almost no data for some reason, but plenty of signal. and when i go into my building i start to roam, and i get faster speeds roaming than i do if i walk outside and get full bars.

That should be a new acronym, DDZ - Data Dead Zone.

now i have never taken the wife on a drive with me to test her unrooted phone at my work area, but plan to soon.

That's the PRI I have, but like I said I have seen speeds over 10mb/s in some areas and 1mb/s in others. I don't really think it has anything to do with our setting as much as it has to do with the very poor sprint coverage in some areas.

[EVO 4G General] TommyNY:
The point there being you have the same PRI -- that would leave us to believe it's something else. The fact that other devices on the same network are getting speeds like you're reporting (from various other threads about slow speeds), this would lead us to believe it could be something else.

Get it?
