[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YarsRevenge78:
I have not tested this out yet, but I'm pretty sure you can rename "/sdcard/adw_settings.xml" to "/data/data/org.adw.launcher-backup/launcher.preferences.almostnexus.xml" if you are using the ADW.Launcher settings backup.restore.

Likewise with renaming "/sdcard/adw_launcher.db" to "/data/data/org.adw.launcher-backup/launcher.db-wal". This file has an extension of .db-wal, but it is most likely the exact same file. I will have to test this out sometime to make sure.

I also wanted to point out that you only want to copy "launcher.preferences.almostnexus.xml" and "launcher.db-wal". Don't just delete /data/data/org.adw.launcher and replace the entire directory with your backup. If you do this it will just force close and probably delete the directory and recreate it again.

Does anyone else know what files to backup and restore from other launchers?

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

If the widgets didn't come with the rom, you would have your program backup and restore the .apk files too. Fancy Widgets didn't seem to work right on a custom rom I was messing around with, I think because when ADW reset it knew where to place Fancy Widgets which had not yet run so it wasn't functional yet. Perhaps backing up this widgets /data/dir might do the trick, but I'm not sure.

ADW appears to delete and re-create the "/data/data/org.adw.launcher" dir if it exists when the program runs for the first time. This is the reason why I had to sleep for 45 seconds before replacing the files and restarting the launcher. If this is how all programs/widgets work, then using my method probably won't work on the settings for those files because they won't run automatically like the launcher does.

Just decompile the launcher's APK and edit the default_homescreen.XML (it will have a different filename for different launchers). Recompile and sign. Done :-)

Hello I'm Korey, a old developer and I'm looking to get back into developing.

I stopped a year ago and sold my Vogue. I now wish to get back into developing for WM and possibly Android for the Vogue but I'm in need of a Vogue.

If someone could be willing to donate their unused Vogue,I would be eternally grateful. It would be going to a great cause in helping an old developer get started once again. Search for my ROMs, you will see I was one of the best in my prime and I have had numerous folks ask me to return.

Page color is black and font color is dark blue on all mail accounts. The preview is normal, just when I open it to read it in full. (to hard to view)

I looked and searched to no avail for a setting to change. Is this just a result of the ROM? ( Josh's Sleek and Stable Release ) I know it's not my POP3 accounts. At a loss-Thanks

Nobody ??
[HD2 General] gosmeyer:
Anybody ??
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
It's not like that in the stock ROM, so yeah I'm guessing it has to do with the custom ROM you're using, or some app/tweak included with it.

I just downgraded to stock 2.1 on the incredible after rooting in anticipation for the official update. However, now I have a problem. Although the ROM took I can't seem to get into Recovery on the Hboot menu. Any ideas on what went wrong or how to fix this? I am little concerned about trying the procedure again. The screen just hangs at a picture of the phone with a "!". But the phone still boots and functions fine.

Thanks in advance!

At that screen you need to press the power button and up button at the same time to get into recovery mode.

No, I no longer have SU permissions.

ijason87, that worked, however now when I get into that screen it says the following "E: Cant Open /cache/recovery/command". Is that normal, I dont recall that error when I did a recovery wipe not long ago. It does give me options to apply update.zip and factory wipe.

One thing is for sure your going to have to root your phone before you can do anything so here's the rooting guide for 2.1:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572

The official source code for 2.2 doesn't just install on our phone everything has to be packaged in a rom and if its not supported by htc we have to do it ourselves so if you look around in the forums you'll find a lot of good 2.1 custom roms and darchstar built a 2.2 froyo build from the ground up. ;) Good luck.

Just wanted to double check, newbie here but willing to learn. You have to get to your phone into a root statues, at which point your going to flash a new rom onto it with either 2.1 or 2.2?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzoangel:
that is correct

its not too hard once you finally get set-up

i suggest trying out a basic rom without all the bells and whistles first

then once you realize you can load a rom and you mess with it for a bit, try flashing a new kernal, try using overclock, try out a new launcher even *adw or helix.....*, then if you're still feeling good you can try jit

by then you should understand a bit more.

Hi,

Ive checked the forums but i cannot seem to find a thread that answers my question. Maybe this has not been asked or people have incorrectly titled their threads.

Ive just updated to the latest radio (no issues).

Changed my ROM to Chuckys GTX lite (no issues). Also used DUTTY Creme V4

I have then booted Google's android, using Darkstones 7/8/10 build of Froyo.

It boots into Android fine but upon start up i always get the message:

'sim card changed' then 'sorry! The application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedley. please try again'

which i then click force close

Im also having trouble finding the correct software to use USB mode to transfer my files to the phone in Android - I think i now have to use HTC Sync but HTC's site asks for a serial,.... which obviously i cannot download. I just seem to default to 'USB Debugging' which does nothing for me.

An help would be appreciated

Be careful about transferring files to your sdcard via android...

there's a reason DarkStone probably disabled it... :)

Went from Desire v5 to Froyo darkstone (7/8), and no data connection, and same error "Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android .settings) has stopped ..etc when I try to accept the "Sim card changed " notification.

When I try to play with APN settings, it just constanlty says : Connection failed due to incorrect APN settings on Mobile Network screen.

There was a warning with this build about limited or no data, but didnt think it would not work at all, I had a cracking down rate with Desire V5, but would like to carry on running this Froyo build.

Lol, I deleted the apn settings before the backup step. Lost my o2 internet now. Anyone had the issue of the mobile phone signal icon dropping every min it so. It will show full or half etc signal then the next min will show no signal bars then after another min or so full or half etc again. I can still make calls when the phone shows no signal though. This is with chucky gtx lite and darkstone latest froyo build. Same was with duty Rom also.

Another issue I've found is the screen going sort of black and white inverted and really bright. Anyone else got this if just me, I have to reboot the phone to fix. It's only happened twice though in a week.

Hi XDA Developers!

I wanna present all of you very usefull site.

With this site you can have your app in many languages very, very easy.

This is 99translations:​

[URL="http://99translations.com/session/new"]http://99translations.com/session/new[/URL]

​

Only that you must to do, is create a project named like your app, and include all phrases from your app.

A volunteer (or with some cash, everyone can set how much want in $ for translate one word in profile)

from other countries can open your project and translate phrases to own language.

I worked (for free) with this site at "Buddycloud" project - a Symbian social app (mix of Twitter and iRC):

[URL="http://99translations.com/public_projects/show/98"]http://99translations.com/public_projects/show/98[/URL]

Translating process is very, very easy. Translator can use a Google Translator for help:

Also project author having many, very useful tools. For example if you need one specific translation, you can choose your translator from list ("People tab")

More info for app developers you can find in "Tools" tab:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FRANQ_23_PL:
No problem. This is in our interess having apps in own language. Not many apps here are translated to polish. Not every developer know how organize translations... I know that translating some apps is hard or impossible.

It's hard to standarise this process. This advice/thread for sure will help translating many apps for free and in organized way.

I think i posted this in tight section, because this advice matching to any app or other project. I reported to mods to move thread to better section (General?).

I hope this advice will be accepted and good received by our dev's. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FRANQ_23_PL:
Well, it's hard to tell. Maybe developer can give access to his project only for selected, trusted ppl (knowed from forum for example).

People will make translation for own advantage (and other ppl speaking in the same language). For sure developer(s) can check translation (with built-in Google Translate tool) correctness before include it to app.

It looks lil'bit fondly, but i belive that someone who take this chellenge will not screw it.

Some incentive to translating can be free license (Epocware gives me few free licenses after i translated few they's app's).

If any developer need more details, then can ask developer "Elvis" (on 99translation site), im sure that he will helpfull (i translated BuddyCloud for him).

I updated my rom to UD7 but before I did that I pulled all of the .apk files that I would need off of my phone so I could install them on the new rom.

This might not be the correct way of doing things, but it seemed to work for me.
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
Hi guys.

I have done some searching but cant quite find out a full answer or a link to the rom download. I want to update my Desire to Froyo now and am not bothered about the branding of Virgin Mobile etc. Can someone point me in the direction of a guide of how to do this or explain it for me. At this point my desire is rooted and I have a gold card but I cant find the right rom and dont know if I need a new radio for it to work.

Any help much appreciated.

James
[Desire General] rowanparker:
Can't you just debrand and install the update? The update will update your radio (I think).
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
Hi again. Thanks for the reply mate and yes you are correct I can. Problem was I didn't know how to do it as I couldn't find info on a rooted and branded phone.

Anyway just for anyone else that needs to know I did mine by creating a gold card. I dont know if this was an important part to do but you may as well as its very easy but will wipe you SD Card so backup anything you need.

I then debranded to this ROM

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed

this one would not upgrade and came back with an error when trying to install the Froyo update.

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865

The process of debranding is easy and done by just running the file you download with the phone connected. Some things to check though are that you have HTC Sync and the ADK installed so you get all the drivers and reboot your PC. The ROM File you run when downloaded will guide you through the steps but mine would not detect the phone after it rebooted the phone to bootloader mode. To get round this I left the phone connected and restarted the ROM Install program and all went well.

This gives you a Debranded phone and all that remains is to upgrade to Froyo via the SD Card.

|Here are the instructions I followed:

Steps to install Froyo on HTC Desire

Step 1: Download the Android 2.2 firmware for the Desire (I got mine here http://hotfile.com/dl/58947725/9565...8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip.html)

Step 2: Rename the file update.zip and copy it to your microSD card via USB. [Note: make sure the file is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip.]

Step 3: Power down your Desire.

Step 4: Hold down the “Volume Down” button as you power the phone back on.

Step 5: A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. Scroll down to “recovery” and press the “Power” button.

Step 6: When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the “Power” and “Volume Up” buttons at the same time.

Step 7: From the menu that appears, select “Apply sdcard:update.zip.”

Step 8: When the screen displays “Install from sdcard complete” select “reboot system now” and wait for the phone to power back up.
[Desire General] mmorpheus1:
Hi james, i too have a VM desire and want to install froyo. which of the above roms work for doing the froyo update as your post is unclear which allows you to upgrade???

also when you did the unbrand and update did you lose all your apps and settings(data and text etc) and how are you finding froyo, is it improved on the VM branded software??

thanks in advance....
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
hi mate you are right it is unclear! The top ROM RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed is the one that worked. The other i tried first and gave me an error.

If you do as I did you will lose all apps, data and settings.

Froyo is defo worth the upgrade just for the 720 recording. it is also quicker but this is not as noticiable on a phone like the desire.

If you fancy going for it just make sure you have an apk file for all your apps and my advice is to make google you contact manager as i wiped my phone and it came back with all my contact and contact photos just by entering my google account. if you have any probs just pm me and if i can help i will.

good luck

[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
This tool i came across when i was working on the Ubuntu for Eris.

It copies your bootimage to a temp file so it has a space to work in
It then unpack the boot.img
Replaces the zImage you included ith the original one
Repacks the boot.img
Flashes the new boot.img with your kernel in it.

All you need to do is rename your kernel zimage, and place it in the kernel folder and re-sign it. MUCH easier than fastboot or baking up a custom boot.img each time you have to swap the kernel.

All thanks to Koush, i just found the thing :)

Today my phone died mid conversation while driving. Apparently I had left 4g coverage so I was using GPS, talking on bluetooth and searching for a 4g signal. Somehow this killed my phone from ~50% battery to dead in less than 30 minutes. I have two car charges, one is a usb 800ma rated the other registers as AC and is 1000ma. Can any chargers keep up with gps and bluetooth at the same time?
[EVO 4G Accessories] xlrdxrevengex:
The 1000mah should do it. but it depends on what is going through your lighter socket. I could be wrong. next thing would be to just turn off 4g while driving anyways i dont think it helps with voice but then again i could be wrong.

I have a stock rom and run gps, pandora, and wifi hotspot usually all the time in the car and have a cheapy ipod usb plug that has a usb port not sure what the rating is but never have a problem with my battery dying or loosing juice. nor is my car anything special and is 10 years old
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
Its to my understanding from reading the various forums that 4G more or less just affects data and has little to do with voice . I would try shutting down 4G and just using the GPS and bluetooth and still see if your loosing power .
[EVO 4G Accessories] axlebot:
I can confirm 4g doesn't help with voice. Many phones can't do data and phone calls simultaneously, but the evo can because it will use the 3g radio for the phone call allowing the wifi radio or the 4g radio to transfer data. Basically, during a phone call, you can do data via 4g, but voice doesn't go through 4g at all. That can be turned off because it won't affect your call.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TickLe MY eLMo:
all of this aside, there is absolutely NO WAY that your phone could die that fast while being hooked up to a charger, even if you are sucking more power than you are gaining... You must of not had it plugged in right or something, because that makes absolutely no sense. i have a cheapy car charger and i use gps, voice and 4G together a fair amount when i'm driving around(chicago and the surrounding suburbs have surprisingly decent 4G coverage!), and have personally never lost power, just charges a lot slower... Either get a new charger, get the socket checked out, or get the battery checked out, cause there is no way that should be happening.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Freelancerx:
i agree with this
