Yeah, josh needs help in the android for hd2 forum.. officially, there is currently only 1 mod here, dharvey4651... we may need more in here since things are starting to become as messy as it is now..

many duplicate threads asking the same questions, asking irreverent qns when android development for hd2 is now still at SD card phase.. and the "ask your questions here thread" having mostly questions and no1 answering..

Mods need to help by deleting useless repetitive threads and if possible give temporary bans to people to either post or create new topic in the Android development forum..

And for all newcomers who see this thread... pls read the sticky threads for god sake and stop wasting server storage space with your useless, repeated, often already answered questions..!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NotATreoFan:
We are busy, that is correct. If you want to help us clean up the Android section, please use the Report Post link in the offending thread. All moderators see the RPs in a super special dedicated forum, so rest assured it will be addressed as soon as we see it and have time to do so.

I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but after I installed the new google voice search, my search key didn't work any more. When I touch the search key now, it doesn't do anything. Any idea?

Thanx in advance.

What ive been looking for..

Sounds like a great fix to that annoying thing. I hate that it comes on all the time. Think ill install it just for the break rofl....................
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsimon9633:
That asks for the long press one

I'm talking about the single press search
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Here's how to fix (from your Terminal/Command Prompt, where ADB is):

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
adb shell rm /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.google.android.voicesearch
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
adb reboot

Now go install the Google Search and Voice Search from the Android Market. Problem solved.

NOTE: You have to have full root. That means # in your shell, and NAND unlock. If you don't, you are SOL.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amw1972:
the adb commands worked awesome...I still have a slight lag with the "hard" key search button...still requires a long press.

Thanks!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Quick note: If you do all of that, and when short-pressing the Search key, you don't get the Google Search (and assuming you've installed Google Search from the Market), use these commands:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
adb shell cp /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
adb reboot

This thread oughtta be stickied. I've already quoted my post in here three times. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tranquilchaos:
I've already uinstalled/rebooted/installed both the voice search and the google search. Do i still proceed with the above steps? And if so, can I type these commands as I see them into the Terminal Emulator on the phone itself?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
The commands are meant to be done via ADB (a command prompt/shell on your computer).

If you already have everything working (including the search key) then there's no need for you to do this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
You are a lifesaver. Was freaking out when my search button broke. This fixed it. Thank you!

I've just uinstalled/rebooted/installed both the voice search and google search. Voice search works fine, but as I said previously, the google search button is broken.

I want to use your instructions but I've never used adb on my computer before. Can you help me out? I've always avoided using it, but maybe it's time I learn.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
there's a thread in development on how to use adb.

seriously, once you get the least bit familiar with it, you won't want to use anything else...

i do everything from adb. it's just easier. trust me. i've tried all the other methods, and they're a pain in comparison
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tranquilchaos:
Wowsers, so I found the following post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010 (adb for dummies) but I'm lost.

It seems to be designed for Windows users....So far I have:

downloaded the newest SDK package, Eclipse and installed the ADT Plugin. Now what? I'm so confused...any help would be great!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
You don't need Eclipse or anything like that.

Just go to Start>Run, type in "cmd" (no quotes) and then type the command:

cd *location of where you saved the Android SDK*

cd tools

So if you copied the Android SDK to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android SDK", you would type:

cd "C:\Program files (x86)\Android SDK\"

cd tools

Now just type in the commands, starting with "adb " such as "adb reboot" or "adb shell" and so on.

EDIT: Since there was an update for the Nexus One version of CM6, there's now a new GApps ZIP which contains the new search, Voice Search, etc. Just copy it to your SD card, reboot into recovery, and flash it:

My problem is: Whenever I try to run RA-Recovery image v1.7.0.1 from the boot loader, I get the error icon (droid w/ an exclamation next to it). The only way I can resolve this is if I re-install the recovery image with superboot.

Anyone know a solution to this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emul8or:

The little droid with an exclamation mark is the stock recovery, check if there's no /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script if you keep booting back in the stock recovery (exclamation mark with a little Android)

I have been using Tasker the last couple of days and I am really started to like this app. I havent even scratched the surface of what this app is capable of but it would be nice to have a thread for all Tasker users to share the Profiles.

I currently have mine setup to shut off 3G when the screen is off and turn it back on when the screen is on. Its been working great. I got home today from work and was at 70% battery life after 10 hrs of light usage throughout the day.

So far I have

GPS Auto on and off when I open maps

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ATownI20:
Best app out!

I've been using this app for awhile as well... I've been able to fully automate the processes that I had to remember to do to conserve battery.

This is my setup.

1.At Girlfriend's house - GPS off, auto brightness on, notifications silenced and from 3am - 7am text messages are set to auto reply and calls sent to voicemail.;)

2.Headphones plugged - Load music app, adjust media volume, and turn screen off after 30 seconds.

3.Any power connected (USB or AC) - Key lock off

4.If USB plugged and file explore (Astro, ES) loaded, mount SD

5.Maps,Navigation loaded - GPS on, Auto Brightness on, System vol to max

Just some basic profiles.

I'm still in the trial period, do I have to purchase to be able to import the download-able profiles from the step through section of the site? :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dmoses1969:
I was able to download profiles while in the trial period. The only problem I had was downloading profiles that had multiple downloads. What version are you using? I am using 1.0.8b2 but I see that b3 is available now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dmoses1969:

I was trying to set that up last night but it was telling me to install APNdroid for it to turn the data off. APNdroid states on their market page that it doesn't work with CDMA, so I have to ask, how did you manage to have Tasker turn data on and off ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dmoses1969:
If you install the latest beta version it will toggle data without using APNdroid. I do not have it installed and it works fine.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] boredmug:
Maybe im doing it wrong, but if i do it like that basically my data is turned off most of the time even when the screen is on. I want data to always be on when the screen is on, but have it toggle every 15 minutes or so when the screen is off..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dmoses1969:
Not real sure about that. You might be able to set it so that toggle only works if the screen is off by checking "if" and put in %DISPLAY ~ OFF

So I've been thinking about finally taking the plunge and installing one of these custom roms on my phone, instead of just having a rooted 2.1... but before I do, can anyone with a rom installed tell me if they have any success with the Wiimote apps? I would love to play some classic NES games on my phone, but the on-screen buttons on every emulator are pretty terrible. Thanks in advance for anyone who's willing to test this for me :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
This belongs in Q&A just FYI. And any non-sense ROM will work with the wiimote. Just look for non-sense roms. I suggest the froyo ones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hakukoru:
Ah, sorry for posting in the wrong location :(

Anyways, thanks for the quick response. Though have you tested it yourself to know that it works? From what I've read about the wiimote apps, I was thinking that when they mentioned 'sense phones' they were kind-of implying all HTC phones, and thought that it would have been a hardware limitation.
[Droid Eris Android Development] surrealbliss:
not sure how i found myself over in this forum... but i thought id share my experience with this app...

i have a hero on sprint with the newest cyanogenmod froyo running on it and the wiimote controller app works great. it also worked well with previous 2.1 aosp roms that I ran. The reason they tell you it wont work on HTC is because they dont want to explain to every average HTC user how to root and run a custom rom just to use their app. ;D

I personally think that the Samsung Galaxy S ( either one) is arguably the best but that's because I like how the Captivate and Epic 4G look (Vibrant is too iPhonish imo) but the Droid X and Evo may or may not be better based on preference.
