[Droid Incredible General] TheRealStarkman:
Qwerty.KL Layout

I was looking at the qwerty.kl file and I see that Key 212 is defined for the camera but the second argument is left blank. Is the second argument the action for the key? Does anyone have any documentation on the layout of this file. Seems simple but I would like to know possibilities?

For the wake on press of the button, key272 DPAD_CENTER was given the action "WAKE".

I hope this is framed in more of a development format.
[Droid Incredible General] vantagejuan:
There should be a prompt that asks people "Are you a developer?" after they click the "new thread" link in the development forum. If you can't answer yes to the question, then your post goes to general.

To address the OP's question however, I tried everything under the sun and couldn't get it to work. Although I was trying to get it to bring up the dialer app with the "CALL" property. I ended up just remapping it to the "search" softkey and it works just fine. I use LauncherPro so I just made the Internet icon in my launcher tray launch voice search on the upswipe from the internet icon so I didn't lose any functionality.
[Droid Incredible General] morph2k4:
Jeez, you would think people smart enough to develop software would refrain from bumping a thread they feel is in the wrong forum, JUST to declare that the thread is in the wrong forum. Especially when such a declaration has already been made in said thread.

Anyways, I'm sorry if my phrasing was not appropriate for this board. The natural extension of this question is "what development steps can be taken, or what paths should I pursue, to try to realize this goal". To be clear, I am a software dev by education and by trade. I have never developed on a mobile platform, and so I don't have any specifics of android OS development in which to frame my question.

All of that said, if anyone has any additional information about the qwerty.kl file, I would greatly appreciate it. Is there an API of some kind for the functions that can be mapped to keys in that file? Maybe one of them allows for some customization, and can be used to launch a specific App? Given that I actually use all 4 soft buttons, and the track pad button is both unused outside of specific apps and also the picture taking button within most camera apps, any other solution is going to eat away at me as inelegant.

To those who have offered insight or tried to help, thank you, I sincerely appreciate your time.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkywalkerPD:
I am using Darkstone HD2Froyo V2 - Release Date: 16.Aug.2010

I have a Toyota Prius with bluetooth build in, I can connect the phone to the car, I can pickup and end calls, but I can't get audio. The other side hears me, but I can't hear them.

EDIT:

Found this, so it makes sense that it doesn't work (for now)

======================

Whats working:

- Wifi

- GPS

- 3G

- Camera with flash

- Bluetooth (No Headset in calls support)

- Everything thats working on other builds

- LED status notification

- Keypad LED control

Whats not working:

- Camcorder

- Bluetooth Audio in calls

- Compass is inaccurate, this is known.

- USB Storage mode is disabled, I have done this on purpose. File corruption seems to occur when using android to transfer files. Are you really suprised though? You're running the O/S off the memory card too remember...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
So what exactly is s-off/ s-on, or better yet is this something we can find on the phone, more so what is the exact and best description it's called.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
S-On/S-Off is the bootloader security. It means either security is on (S-On) or security is off (S-Off). This switches between verifying images before they are flashed. When security is disabled, you can flash anything you want through the bootloader. If security is enabled, you will have to have the proper signatures. This means that if you have S-Off, you can flash any OTA or other update and not worry about losing root, as you can easily flash the root files (superuser permissions) after the update and have it working again. That's the jist of it anyway.

if i used simple root, can i do Unrevoked forever over this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
Thanks for the reply that was helpful for me, and what I was looking to hear.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
If your already running froyo then you can't run simple root, however if you have eclair 2.1, I'd suggest it, or even suggest unrevoked3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeknoJnky:
unrevoked forever and ROOT are two different things.

you must already have root (any root capable of flashing, does not matter which), in order to use unrevoked forever.

once you have unrevoked forever, then you can easily reroot or flash any rom if you lose root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
i know this!

unless that wasn't directed at me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
You should be able to just fine. Unrevoked Forever does something entirely different from Simple Root - it just requires that you have root and a custom recovery before you can use it.

Hi All

Hope someone can help me out here.

I am having problem with connecting the USB cable for file transfers. It was working before until tonight. I keep getting this "initialising..." on the mobile screen when the USB cable is plugged in and it keeps flashing on the screen without establishing a proper connection with the computer. Kies has already been installed on the pc. Does anyone know why it's doing this? I'm unable to transfer files now and it's a problem for me.

On another note, is it possible at all to transfer files using the USB cable without installing Kies?

Regards

My buddy has Nuance Dragon Dictation on his iPhone. The other day, in an effort to show off, he turned it on while I was talking (slight invasion of privacy lol). Initially I refused to speak but I saw what he was doing and started talking I was very impressed with how accurate it was. Now I want to be the show off and get this working on my phone, but unfortunately there is no version for Android yet.

Today, I decided to try both the new version of Google Voice Search and Vlingo Voice search. No matter what I do, I cannot get either program to recognize anything I say even though I am speaking perfectly clear English. Is there something special I have to do to get this to work right?

The thread really shouldn't have been closed just because he was bashing the X10.

It was funny.

Plus, let's be honest, the X10 does have a problem with the in call volume ... let's not all be fanboys here.

I'm more or less happy with the X10 and he's not. We shouldn't really silence opposing views should we?

Maybe his post wasn't productive but it was funny. For all of the doom and gloom around here with the lack of 2.1/2.2, (not that I care), we should have some funny moments ;)

Going to an X10 forum and telling owners not to buy one is amusing.

I tried to use as much punctuation as possible.

let me tell u people that i myself a fan of sony and i trusted sony a lot.

I already used Z600 k750 P900 P910 (Xperia X1 + Xperia X10+aino ) at present

but people are taking me wrong ok fine no probs when people tell other people to buy a phone that is justified fine i understood thanks:(:(
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
Before this is close, i like to ask.

Are you a 5 years old or never taken a proper education?

Do you understand demand and supply? Do you understand cost effective?

If you don't like the phone and keep it zip. Sony is a big corporation that make billions every year in revenue and they understand demand and supply and their own cost better than you.

Going around complainning about these "fault" is childish.

Do you think they would release things out here without testing or experiement? they kept in-call volume as it is because it is "good enough".

Unlike you, i am sure everyone else think it is fine because we all kept our ear healthy. We don't listen to MP3 with a headset banging our heads for excessive amount of hours on MAX volumne.

You have hearing problems, not us (well some of us have it too). I can hear clearly what other end say, i do admit under a noisy circumstance i can't hear anything but that's what every phone is.

Now you complain about lack of MT. The lack of MT is because JAPANESE doesn't see multi-touch a BIG DEAL. If you go to the japan market, you can limit to how many device have multi-touch. The tradition handphones and even PDA only use 1 fingers. MULTI-TOUCH is for GAMING and nothing ELSE. Sony have PSP for sell if you want games, why would they ruin their OWN division of gaming to make it Iphone #2. It is clearly enough to see why they don't add MT (unless you are really dumb because it is sole reason you never see a psphone).

What else you want to complain? Android 1.6? cute the people some slacks. they want their android as unique as possible. You should compare your 1.6 android on x10 to a HTC desire running android 1.6 for real before you come here.

And for one, i am buying xperia for it uniqueness, don't ruin my life with your needs of an Iphone 4 clone or a HTC evo clone. Xperia should be what it is and be unique. I love android 1.6 as it is with mediascape and timescape (i use it too). I wouldn't mind 720 HD recording and "playable flash" as i can already watch flash media on my x10 right now as we speak.

Seriously, if you are a truely SE fan boy, you should buy this phone for it uniqueness, not a CLONE of apple or GOOGLe.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] mojtaba.alhoseine:
im going to be told to not post this in development blablabla

but can someone make a rom that isnt WWE 2.1...

a port from a different phone, those were alot more "exciting" where all the roms were different, now all the roms are pretty much the exact same thing with the only difference probably being size ¬_¬

there were all the good/varied roms like SenseHero and SlideVillain, but those seemed to of diedd :( why not actually port something comletely new like x10 or samsung, i know theyr pretty crap but at least theyr new/different :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jazzjunkz:
The main reason is incompatibility.

The reason why there were so many ported ROM's was because 2.1 for the Hero hadn't been released, therefore we were porting from devices such as the Legend to get as close to the 2.1 WWE Hero as possible.

As soon as 2.1 for Hero started to emerge, then developers concentrated on what mattered - a fully featured/optimised 2.1 ROM native to the Hero.

Now we have that (more or less), developers are turning their eye onto the Froyo front (2.2). This is what people would class as 'exciting', due to the fact that Froyo isn't designed for our devices...........yet. With that in mind, we're hoping that the Legend will receive a 2.2 Sense update in which we can port to our beloved Hero..Until then developers are going to look ahead with their AOSP builds and make our Hero the best it can possibly be.

In regards to porting other devices, alot of the reasons people aren't porting is the fact that hardware from other devices must match up (or atleast be close) to that of the Hero..but again, developers don't fancy the extra work (or even the attempt) when they have other - better - things they can concentrate on. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mojtaba.alhoseine:
yehh thats the thing all devs are just copying stuff from each other so they all end up being pretty much the same...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jazzjunkz:
This may sound stupid, but I see it like this:

Imagine planting a seed and then watching it. At first, it seems nothing is happening and it won't seem that anything is changing perhaps until the point the seed turns into a full fledged plant, flowering.

It's like the community ROM's...It seems like nothing is happening, but slowly and surely ROM's are growing into something great and at the end of it all you'll think;

"Hey, nice ROM!"

...Like it came out of nowhere. :-)

Unfortunately for the devs, the same concept doesn't apply as they put blood sweat and tears, hour by hour to get these ROM's out. So while we're waiting for a flower to blossom, they are cracking their skulls on the edge of a desk somewhere screaming "Why aren't you god damn working?!".

[Hero, G2 Touch General] zorxd:
well, you have at least 3 somewhat different choices :

you can also add 1.5 roms if you care about them.

There is no point in making a ROM that sucks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
This sounds like what themes are for... I'm using a Galaxy S theme here on FroydVillain, and I like it more than stock HTC Sense :)

Pick a good Froyo ROM, which you get loads of themes for, and have fun :)

But yeah, the issue with those ports was that they were far from perfect, with botched drivers and libraries to make it boot etc.

So yeah, it sounds like you need to find a ROM with themes, or check out the Aria port by Robocik.

The choice is all here. There's even Fallah, maxo's legend port ...

"Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to get multi-touch and Android 2.1?!

April 14, 2010 at 12:05 pm by Dan | In Mobile News, Mobile Phones, New Mobile Phones

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is a worthy addition to the ever growing Android family, bringing a huge touchscreen display, best in class camera and unique offerings such as Timescape and Mediascape. But, as good as it is, the X10 is not without it’s drawbacks, most notably the fact that it’s stuck languishing on Android 1.6 and lacks support for multi-touch. But, this could all be about to change should the mutterings of a Sony Ericsson employee be taken at face value.

Speaking at the press event for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 launch, the Sony Ericsson rep responded to criticisms of the outdated OS by stating that a “very big update” was due in Q2 of this year. Though obviously not wanting to give too much away, very big to us would definitely point towards the X10 joining the Android 2.1 crowd. That is unless Sony Ericsson have stolen a march on their rivals and will be updating to a new and as yet unreleased version of Android! Whatever it is, it’s gonna be big!

As if this wasn’t exciting enough, our man on the inside was also able to shed some light on the lack of multi-touch and potentially quash the rumours that the limitations are hardware based. Though specific details were thin on the ground, apparently multi-touch is also something that is on the cards and similarly we can expect to see an update at some point in the second quarter of the year. Keep an eye on the blog for more information as and when we get it.

UPDATE: Since this post was published, we’ve been contacted by Sony Ericsson who have stated that the X10 update will be available in the second HALF of 2010 (around September) rather than Q2. Apologies for the confusion but still, better late than never"

Copy from CyanogenMod wiki

CyanogenMod comes in two types: Stable or Experimental.

* Stable versions are those where all known issues have been addressed and resolved.

* Experimental versions are those where new features are being added, modified, and tweaked, and there are known bugs that are being worked on; these minor versions that end with -test or -RC in the name are experimental in nature but less beta and more release candidate.

* Nightly builds are daily compiled builds from the source, therefore have the latest features & tweaks, but will are mostly likely to break due being fresh, not fully tested code.
