I tried to copy the information here with no luck.

I would like to remap some buttons to gain camera functionality.

1.) the "back" button

- the long press of the back button is not being used by anything.

-remap the long press of the 'back' button to the short press of the camera button.

--or---

2.)the "send' button

-The green phone button (i'm calling it the send button) is not being used by me. I use my headset for voice commands, or the touch screen to open the phone app.

-I would like to completely remap it to the camera button, short and long press (not sure if camera has a long press, if it doesn't i have another idea)

3.)menu key

- the long press of the windows key is worthless. maybe use that.

A big thank you.

Anyway we will see this on the Captivate? Also, do we have a Captivate developer? Or is everyone on the Vibrant and we are just waiting for someone to port it to captivate?
[Captivate General] abezapata:
More than likely if he releases his method for using a vanilla android someone will be able to port it to the captivate. Looks good.
[Captivate General] atinm:
It seems only Koush has the Captivate amongst the well known developers, and he doesn't seem to be spending much time on the Captivate as he also seem to be doing Droid stuff. I (am not well-known - maybe someday :) ) have been trying to use a merged samsung+vanilla code base myself because I like some of the things from Touchwiz, but that isn't going well because of missing stuff from Samsung. Maybe I should just do vanilla builds too.

i have read and searched and cannot find oat sorry for asking newbie question

I have the latest ENERGY Rom installed and on my storage card i have the XDA_UC folder and i have cabs in there that on first boot install to my device,

How to i get cabs to be installed in the storage card, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
Any cabs placed in XDA_UC\SD will require a user input

this will allow you pick the install location.

also of you look in the XDA_UC thread it mentions this in the 1st post

.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Storage", These cab files will be tempted to install to Storage Location

i have not tried it but assume its what your after

Usually though i have only 1 cab (fpsece) i install to the SD card as its almost always better to install software to the phone
[HD2 General] jsmith_00:
hanks for the answer but have tried the \Storage option and nothing happens
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
many cabs are hard coded to install to phone memory regardless of where you try to install them. perhaps what you are trying to install is one of these?

for example, cookies home tab mod replaces files in the windows folder, so cannot (i assume? certainly 'should' not) be installed anywhere else, regardless of if you choose sd card during install.
[HD2 General] sprevrha:
Mine doesn't work either, on EnergyROM 6.5.5 CHT, I slavishly followed Nunsky's instructions, and when I manually install the cabs, they do install into either main or storage card memory just fine.
[HD2 General] PHOENIXROSE:
Are your applications already installed before you update your rom on the SD. if so you just need to add a shortcut back to the start menu which XDA_Uc can do from the start (or start menu i cannot remember) folder. i backup my start menu before i update then just restore after update

You can now Root your Sony Ericsson X10 and Sony Ericsson X10 mini with one click. All you have to do is to download this free application from our forums Android app section and the one-click installer will do all the work for you!

I wonder if i should go ahead with it or not/?? and what will be the benefit and disadvantages?
[XPERIA X10 General] kitsVA:
I rooted my X10a using that app yesterday. Install the apk from that link and run it. It installed one other app (superUser Permission). All I did is click on Root button. I didn't even have to restart the phone.

Then to check if it really rooted I went to Market and downloaded and installed "Titanium Backup". The installation had problem that said somethink like it needs busybox #@(#@(#. It asked if I want to download it. I choose yes and the backup now works.

Soon I will be removing some of the SE crap that came with the phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] junooni.1980:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fender27:
Hi all,

I would like to know if I can root my hero,It was originally on the 3 network but is now unlocked (I bought it like this and I am now using my o2 simplicity sim in it).

The Firmware is 1.5 and the software version is 1.0.0.A6288.

If it is possible do I use the unlockr method of doing it? And also what rom update would you guys recommend?

Many thanks

Tony.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fender27:
Anyone???

Could do with some info please guys and gals.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
When you say root do you mean so you can add other ROMs or do you mean so you can add/remove system files?

More information would be handy go to settings > about > software version and post

Firmware version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number, Software number and Browser version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fender27:
ok.

Firmware 1.5

Baseband version 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

Kernal version 2.6.27-430d1aea

htc-kernal@and18-2 #983

Build number 2.73.771.73 CL#94055 release-keys

Software version 1.0.0.A6288

I want to be able to install custom roms and add/remove system files etc.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
There is my newbie guide in my sig or there is a "1 click method" being discussed in a topic in the dev forum which you might want to look at.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
Well first of all your going to need a recovery ROM onto your hero to allow you to install custom ROMS. Some ROMS come with ROOT, Some Don't.

Because you have build 2.73.771.73 you will need to first install the flashrec application and then download a recovery ROM and use flashrec to load it onto your phone. The recovery ROM is the gateway to unlocking your device for maximum potential.

How do I get apps and games onto my SD card instead of phone memory?

//dong2007
[XPERIA X10 General] krazykirk:
As far as I know, you can only put apps on your SD card if you're on 2.2.

Correct me if I'm wrong though :)
[XPERIA X10 General] dong2007:
what if your mobile (x10i) is rooted?
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
It's a limitation of the OS itself, not SE's ROM. As such, rooting won't make Apps2SD possible.

Hi,

I came from the TP2 WinMo world. I miss PhoneAlarm. It was an all-in-one place where all relevant information was shown in a skinnable interface, it could be a simple toolbar or take over the entire screen.

Does anyone know any applications like that for Android.

The PhoneAlarm website is:

http://www.pocketmax.net/phonealarm.html

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bomix:
I've used Phone Alarm a lot using my TP2. But more so only for the fact it has auto profiles so I didn't have to worry about putting my phone to silent when work started and when it ended.

I don't know a complete replacement that you can skin.

But if your just looking for the auto profiling (controlling - wifi, brightness,notifcations etc)

I use Timeriffic, free in the Market
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joebi:
Encountered a problem today. My Diamond started having a bit of a fit and seems to think I'm repeatedly tapping the task manager button in the top right hand corner. Soft or hard resets don't fix it. Have tried re flashing the rom and flashing a different rom. No luck. I can't see how it could have been damaged as it has a screen protector and a rubber case.

Anyone else ever experience this problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joebi:
Resolved now. Was just me being foolish by not using MTTY. :(
[XPERIA X10 General] tyler24_11:
MY phone died the other night and wouldn't charge. It blinks red when plugged in and will blink numerous times when you press power. Sometime when its plugged in and i press power it will only blink red once.

Its rooted with 024. Im screwed eh?

Also im with Rogers in Canada
[XPERIA X10 General] krazykirk:
I vaguely remember having this sort of problem before.

What was happening was the cable wasn't working properly for some reason, and my phone wasn't drawing enough power to charge. Therefore it not working, and the red flashing light. It wasn't actually charging.

Is it plugged in to charge via AC or USB? It might not be drawing enough power if it is charging through USB.

If it is charging though AC, have you left it to charge overnight? If a Li-ion battery enters a state of deep discharge, it may take a while for it to charge enough for the phone to be able to power on. This shouldn't be the case though, the battery should have failsafes to prevent this from happening.

If neither of these things do anything, I'd try either swapping the wall adaptor and/or the usb cable or the phone battery itself, and if those things work, you're out of luck.

Hope that helps.
[XPERIA X10 General] tyler24_11:
Have tried two wall chargers different outlet and my two pcs. left it overnight twice. Im screwed lol
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Tell Rogers that one of their Sales Reps burnt the phone while trying to show you how to charge it :D
[XPERIA X10 General] tyler24_11:
Im going to take it back to walmart it is only 3 week old
[XPERIA X10 General] BeerKamel:
I had the same issue with mine... it completely died out and would not start charging. Found it weird the phone couldn't be charged while being powered off (my old KRZR could do it)....

Anyway, I called up Rogers and told them the situation and they exchanged it with a new one. I don't let the phone go below 5% now in fear of it not being able to charge if it the battery is completely drained XD
[XPERIA X10 General] tyler24_11:
was your phone rooted?
[XPERIA X10 General] BeerKamel:
No... it was on the original firmware and all...

For some reason I forgot you rooted it when you replied. Rogers might not want to exchange it... Wal-Mart on the other hand will probably not even look at it and just exchange it.

Other option could be to buy a new battery?
[XPERIA X10 General] tyler24_11:
it actually looks as if the usb port itself is chipped.
[XPERIA X10 General] ykolin:
ok, i had the same problem with my old SE phones.

everytime i tried to charge it, it did not charge. other phones were charging thru same cable.

the problem in the OS.

what i did is upgraded thru SEUS.

try to plug it to PC thru USB cable without battery. then go thru procedure as u would go for upgrade and then put the battery back.

it might not work if your battery complitely dead, thought worth a try ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] tyler24_11:
Yea, cant connect to seus
[XPERIA X10 General] ykolin:
your batter yshould be fine. it's just dead.

dont buy any battery just yet. i would replace the phone if i were u. without spending extra bucks.

this is the quickets solution i can think of.

however, for the future reference i will buy me extra battery just in case :D

good luck
[XPERIA X10 General] tyler24_11:
Just had it turn on and it said less than 2% remaining connect to charger. It was connected. This happened before and it just shuts off.

[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
same problem... no solution ?
[XPERIA X10 General] charliemiles:
Hi, I'm new to the forum and I found this topic is describing the same problem I have. I bought an x10 mini pro (U20a) unlocked and it doesnt turn on with my service provider SIM, but if I try another service provider SIM card or without SIM card, it turns on normally. It's the same behavior, cause it wont charge either. Other users are reporting the same problem in SE support forums and it is related to X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro. It seems to be related to software since a factory reset or a repair using PC Companion solves the problem partially, but for some users the problem starts again when their batteries dries out and want to charge their phones. In case anyone find a solution that really works, please post it here.
[XPERIA X10 General] ricobhi:
I'm disappointed because I have the exact same problem, but I'm outside of AT&T's 30-day return period (and they're being typical idiots about the issue). They have no replacement batteries (of course) so I've had to request one directly from SonyEricsson, which will take 5 business days to deliver. (!) Hopefully, this will resolve the issue; however, before you returned your phone to Walmart, I noticed that you thought you had a problem with a chipped mini-USB port. Do you know if that was part of the problem?
[G1 Android Development] Scrotius:
Is there a way to change the MAC address functionally, so that other devices think it has that address?

I have tried these methods (tiwlan0 corresponds to the wifi mac, no, it's not eth0)

In ADB: # ip link set tiwlan0 address 00:12:f0:dd:cc:dc

error: ip: SIOCSIFHWADDR: Operation not supported on transport endpoint

In terminal emulator on the phone: ip link set tiwlan0 address 00:12:f0:dd:cc:dc

error: ip: socket: operation not permitted

I have heard that some do change it but it reverts when communicating with a device.
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
It is working via fastboot.. There was a method somewhere in the Hero section.

****Last Day*****

Since money motivates some I'm starting a pledge thread for the DEV who roots an OTA stock version of Froyo on the EVO. For folks who are going to pledge here, please be serious and adhere to giving in the dollar or euro amount you are pledging. Understand these folks are doing this stuff on their free-time and with the money being offered we are hoping it will put a little more focus on getting this initiative completed sooner rather then later.

At minimum I am hoping for:

hboot.93 hack

Root Stock OTA Froyo 2.2 with Super User

Wifi Tether working

Everything else can stay the same in the ROM.

Once a Developer produces such an image with install instructions and is verified working, then those who pledge will insert funds to to the developer's Paypal account within 24 hours. Should be pretty simple. Again if you pledge, be a man or woman or your word and give this person what they earned.

I'm STARTING out with my pledge of $50 U.S. Dollars. Good luck!

**** Based on a Suggestion Going to include a deadline of 8/20 for the project to be completed to be eligible for the funds ***

Finally should a DEVELOPER decide they don't want the money, whatever is pledged here will be given to the XDA website donation link. And

Please keep this to pledge donation amount replies.

(To admin, please make a sticky if possible)

Well it was a good attempt. I want to thank all of those who actually "PLEDGED" money and did not come to this thread to complain about the reasons why we put this pledge together.

For those that are stuck, I think it's time we face the music and consider one of two options:

Continue to Wait. (It's been 17 days since the release of OTA Froyo and no known exploit has been found)

Start looking at another device

I've decided to cut my looses and pre-order on an EPIC. It has been a pleasure being on the EVO side of the XDA forums. I wish the best of luck to everyone here and I hope one day root is achieved and that new bootloader is defeated.

Cheers

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptoreb:
I thought about starting a similar thread. Many developers have already put a lot of effort into solving this without monetary motivation. The only way I see this helping is if an HTC/Sprint person with access we don't have, helps out. The brightest minds in this community (dare I say anywhere) are already working hard on it. That, or maybe a non-Evo developer will start, but prob doubtful. Either way, $25 to support this. Save me from my stupidity/nonroot hell!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Somehow, I don't think that it's the lack of a monetary award that’s keeping the 2.2 root from happening. Normally, bounties are used for issues that nobody’s really working on, or for issues that have been worked on for some time, but are exceedingly difficult. What you’re doing here is setting a precedent where devs will be racing against each other to be first out the door with something that they’re all already working on, to win a monetary reward. I don’t know if that kind of precedent is a good idea.

2.2 root will happen, just be patient.

BTW, I’m no dev, so I can't speak for them, I'm just a member of the xda community. It just makes me a bit uncomfortable to see these kinds of threads. And that’s also not to say that the devs don’t deserve every dollar – they do! They kick ass in every way, shape and form. So maybe when they do root 2.2, send them a donation. But the reason I’ve been coming here since way back when I had the HTC Kaiser (although I only joined up when I got my Evo, I've been lurking here for years), is for the community and the people. Specifically people helping people, just to be helpful, and because they can, because they have the knowledge, and to show what can be done when the corporate locks are removed from a device so that it's capabilities are only limited to the coding skills of the dev, and the imagination of the community. Not for the money. To be frank, I think that if we keep going down this direction, we’ll all be worse off, and xda may change – and not for the better.

Just my $0.02, so take it for what it's worth.

And get off my lawn! Sorry - the above came out with a much more doom and gloom attitude than what I had intended. Didn’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade. ;-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agonzalez1010:
*******

I totally respect your view and agree that it should not be a money race. Open source is a beautiful thing and that is what I love about this platform. Developers craft their skill and share with others because they have a passion for what they do and not because they want to make money.

Once in a while though we should honor them for what it is they do and since the release of Froyo, it saddens me to read postings from individuals who are mocking people who upgraded their phone via OTA though there were warnings about it, lets face it, Froyo is an enticing update and unfortunately some folks jumped on it. But I also believe that there are a fare amount of people here who either recently purchased the phone or was in the middle of a warranty issue that ended up with an OTA'd Froyo and because these individuals want to mock and make these assumptions, it could be perceived that the only people who are begging for a root are the ones who OTA'd by choice. Regardless on how everyone got to OTA Froyo, we are here now and are patiently waiting for a workaround.

So in the hopes of offering in incentive not only to the fine work of developers here at XDA, but to help those of us who are stuck in limbo, I started this pledge to help get this initiative going.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smaulz:
Agreed, so consider my contribution a donation to whoever roots this beast. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadFlava:
You can put me down for $20.00. Im in a slightly different boat than everyone else. My phone already had 2.2 on it when I picked it up. I dont know if it was that way out of the box or if one of the nice Sprint employees was kind enough to upgrade it for me. I paid for the phone/service when the store opened but didnt come back for the phone until after lunch because they needed to port the number, paperwork, etc and I didnt have time to wait.

That being said, I bought a bunch of software for my N1 which is now useless as I dont have root and Id really like to have that stuff back working again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnstarz:
it's unfortunate that an open-source community, where devs work with free software, needs to resort to money to motivate people. i understand that there are devs out there who will do this for free because they enjoy doing it for free (so not all devs need money for motivation), but lets be real. you're promoting an environment where open source also means "but not for free".

there's no doubt that there are very very very talented devs here and maybe they do deserve some money. but what happens when they start thinking, "hmmm, if people are willing to pay just for root, I wonder what they'll pay for my services?"
