I've just installed LauncherPro, using Home Switcher to select LauncherPro as default, the TouchWiz Start process doesn't seem to launch at boot. Seems perfectly okay to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
You're just not seeing it, in more than one sense of the word. It's still consuming memory, which, I'll assume, is the OPs concern. We all would like a bit more memory with a bit less bloat.

The best way to test is, don't use LauncherPro, check your memory with all the tasks killed. Then, reboot with your typically setting with LauncherPro and Home Switcher, your available memory will be lower by about 20mb (I know not much, but we are probably trying to eliminate more than 20MB of wasted memory by eliminating a lot of the bloat TW might be adding.

Hi guys suddenly I have no experience with java and html parsing and I really need it...(possibly from http://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/teams/club=52280/domestic/index.html)

I want a simple way to convert an html website to xml document(fetch,convert,parse) or an easy alternative way to do it...

ps:if you know any alternative FREE resource of football(soccer) data tell it...
[Android Software Development] wallla:
Android has built in several alternatives:

SAX Parser, XML Pull Parser and DOM.

A very good tutorial on all three of them can be found at IBM:

Working with XML on Android

I personally prefer the SAX Parser.

Of course you could just include another external parser, like HotSAX or many others via embedding external libraries.

In a small program I wrote I had to parse some html code, but the SAX Parser had problems with some German Umlauts. So I used TagSoup to clean the html and make a valid xml out of it. After that I could fetch the data with the SAX Parser.
[Android Software Development] Andy7:
thanks

THANKS...maybe IBM example is good but a bit complicate for me(as i said i have no experience in parsing with java)...i prefer dom cause i get used to tree elements...

and if you can to publish some lines of source code with tagsoup(or refer me somewhere)...I NEED AN EXAMPLE
[Android Software Development] wallla:
Here's a snippet of my program:

try {
URL url = new URL("http://www.url.com");

XMLReader xr = new Parser();

SAXHandler handler = new SAXHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(handler);
xr.parse(new InputSource(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), "ISO-8859-1")));

} catch (Exception e) {
}

You see, it's pretty simple...

The main part for "cleaning" the html-stuff is just this single line of code:

XMLReader xr = new Parser();

Parser() is of the type org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser;

If you want to use DOM, it should be quite similar.

Here's a basic example.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuntang:
Hi All,

(if this has been answered before, i have tried searching and couldn't find the answer)

I have a debranded, unlocked, rooted orange htc desire running on pays froyo v1.8

the radio i'm running is 32.43.00.32u_5.09.00.20 as advised by most devs that create the roms.

since debranding my phone my 3g connection has been really unreliable. specifically it drops off, I then have to go to airplane and then back on and it works or reboot. It has been the same across all roms i've flashed.

has anyone else had this problem? and is it a software issue or should i get a new phone because its hardware?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaverHausen:
Is it just 3G? Does it stay on if you force it onto GSM only?

My Orange branded but unlocked device would miss calls, not send SMS and couldn't even call voicemail when it was acting up. This went away if you forced 2G.

Problem has gone away now though. My workmate had the same issues on Orange, see is thread on Android foums here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonesWTF:
Yep, I have the same problems now. I was originally using vodafone, but switched as they annoyed me. Now the data connection with orange is extremely erratic and sometimes I lose signal all together.

It's the same on both LeeDroid and Modaco.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acidmax:
Same problem here. Have to reboot the phone to get the connection back. Using OpenDesire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaverHausen:
But is on both 2G and 3G?

Try dropping the handset into GSM only.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonesWTF:
Yeah, both. I had Orange send me a new sim. Now I can connect to 3g, but sometimes it just refuses to recieve any data. At least I actually have a signal though.

Hey guys

I try to make my homescreen look more "personal" if you understand what I mean :p

So I made some pictures for the apps and folders.

The apps I easily replaced with a shortcut, but for the folders i couldn't find a good solution, because I don't like the labels of Folder Organizer.

Is there any possibility with Folder Organizer to create a folder (with my own icon) which is like the stock-folders? With drag & drop apps into it.

Or is there another App which can do that?

Thank you :)

with folder organizer you can import icons and type in your own nanes

I have rooted my nexus one and tried to flash a custom rom. I performed following steps:

1. Rooted as per the instruction. After applying the commands It was ready

2. Installed a custom recovery image with recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img and it was successful. After rebooting i went in to boot loader mode and took a nandroid backup.

3. Then downloaded a custom rom and placed all radio(radio-4.06.00.12_7), Google App(gapps-hdpi-FRF91-signed), CyanogenMod 6(update-cm-6.0.0-N1-RC2-signed) in to my root of the SD card.

4. Rebooted with recovery mode (holding volume down and power) and selected recovery and it rebooted but got a orange !(symbol) with android and nothing happens.

Please any one help me to how to resolve this. I tried once again installed a custom recovery with the same image. But no luck

Hey

Since I upgraded to Froyo (completely wiped eclair for debrand), there are at least 2 apps showing me totally impractical time formats

Astrid (no matter if old or new V): 1, 8.8.2010 (where 1 equals Sunday)

Smooth Calendar Widget: 8 8 (only this. It totally ignores the fact that the user can config the timestamp)

It's all correct in the Froyo settings, as it is in all pre installed programs.

Any idea?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevegb666:
Hi all

I have a G2 touch that was stock and got the OTA update to 2.1 (t-mobile). But i decided I wanted root, not for developing just to get rid of a few system apps like stock and peep.

so i followed a few guides read lots of things and ended up having the generic htc rom 1.5 and rooted after making a gold card and downgrading. The problem was the OTA upgrade to 2.1 wouldnt install. (no groans from those that know what they are on about i'm new to this and thought it would upgrade :) )

as i like 2.1 more i ended up reflashing the stock 1.5 htc rom without having root and the OTA upgrade worked fine.

Now ive played with the generic htc 2.1 i actually prefer the t-mobile rom as it seems to have more in it like g-sensor calibration etc.

ive read several pages on here and other forums and now im just confused as to how to get a rooted version of the t-mobile 2.1 rom.:confused:

is it even possible?

if not and i do the full gold card and downgrade procedure again Which ROM will give me rooted 2.1 that is the closest to the t-mobile stock so i can remove the stock apps i want rid of?

sorry if it seems like an obvious question but i really dont get all this kernel, radio flashing, kitchens and all of that stuff i just want a simple rom i can put in and everything works like normal except i have root

thanks for your help
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
I'm not aware of any T-Mobile 2.1 ROMs, as everyone wants to rid their phone of branding normally.

But... here's the best method for you. Install your old official 1.5 ROM, and then do the OTA update to 2.1. Make sure you install your T-Mobile 1.5 to do this.

Then, go to http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=2096 and follow that guide to get a custom recovery image onto your phone. From there, you can use adb to access your handset as root, and add and remove stuff as you please. ADB info is in that guide, and a guide to removing apps is at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=862

HTH

PS. This won't give you everyday root, for things like root apps, since your ROM won't itself be rooted. But if you look up "Superuser.apk" and push that to /system/app (you'll learn about pushing etc with adb or googling 'adb push'), along with the su binary, you can give yourself basic root, though it won't be perfect.

If anyone else wants to help out, what you'll need is the 2 superuser files i mentioned, and a modified boot image that has the changed hero.prop (i think it's called that), with ro.secure set to 0 in the ramdisk.

But don't worry about this later stuff unless you need to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevegb666:
Hi thanks very much for the help :)

i get the idea right up until the basic root bit, so think i will get that far .....after that you lost me :confused:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Should be able to. Give it a go :) That last bit wasn't intended for you, more for anyone who tries this in future and wants adb root access.

[Desire General] SpiggyTopes:
Well, I switched from WinMo 6.1 on an HTC Touch Cruise. It had a nice custom ROM and worked very well.

The Desire is just fabulous to hold and play with, but it doesn't do any more than the Win phone. Desire screen is beautiful and so much more responsive than the old one. Internet surfing is much better.

Having flashed the old phone's ROM many times, you might think that I'd jump in to doing the same with the Desire, particularly as it only has 2.1 not Froyo yet.

But, I'm nervous about it ..... all this talk of rooting drives me up the wall!

And, I have to buy sat nav all over again - Middle east, Europe and South Africa - there goes 200 Euros! (no, Google directions don't work here).

[Desire General] crash_194:
I've used both, WinMo 6.5 on a hd2, and Android 2.2 on a Desire. The Desire I found is brilliant and really shows how much both Android devices and the Android operating system have come on since the initial release (my first android was a htc Hero running cupcake).

WinMo is good, i just find Android does better, the things I require from a mobile device. I guess its the apps that are streets ahead on Android, and the amount of free ones available. Windows mobile app development has pretty much come to a grinding holt, and even the apps that are available for both platforms, they seem so much better on Android (facebook app is a good example).

Also its interesting using the touch screen on WinMo 6.5 on the hd2 and also using it on Android on the hd2 also. Its like your using a different handset? The screen is so much more responsive using Android its unreal.

I really like the hd2 but after using the desire aswell, the Desire running 2.2 is my weapon of choice.
[Desire General] andycted:
Of course the desire has my preference at the moment, of course it's also one generation ahead of my old touch hd.

It isn't out yet, but give me wp7 over the same desire hardware and I'm not so 100% sure which I will choose between htc sense and wp7. Give me stock android vs wp7 and I will choose wp7 blindly. Give me winmo 6.5.3 vs stock android and I will choose stock android very reluctantly.

I don't give so much importance if android has 20000 games, 30000 cool apps, etc. I only need 10-20 well made programs.
