google navigation

ill throw my hand in the air for google navigation

its good for voice directions(good enough),

a little shakey on voice input. i suggest typing postcode in EVERY case.

visual display is great, with the map which also zooms in and out depending on the speed you travel (handy for motorways, dual carriageways and the like)

handy intergration with street view for easier landmark recognition, (just look for the big white and blue tesco's - they're everywhere)!!

the only main gripe i have with google navigation is that, (as far as i know) you cant choose "Shortest Route", "Fastest Route", "Avoid Tolls", "Avoid Motorways" etc... which is a handy feature on TomToms...

in addition i dont remember being able to do a point-to-point route with option for a "Via" ... so theres no way to customise your journey. you simply type your destination and follow the route - it WILL take you there whether you like it or not.

i havent tried this, but because google navigation is integrated with google maps, you MAY be able to plan a route via maps customise it, then get directions for it via navigation... but it just seems very, very long winded.

also if you're lookin for car kit on a budget - search for B003XKGGKW on amazon. its a great custom mould car kit for the hero, designed for any and every angle. also keeps the entire handset solid so hard buttons can be pressed (menu, search, back, home) and also the volume buttons are fully exposed.

because its a custom (spring loaded) fit, you wont b able to leave your case or covers on whilst in the car holder. but its the best £10 i spent - plus included coiled mini-usb car charger.

i forgot to mention, if you google search your destination from the phone (PlayGolf Northwick Park) the google page will display results of this place - confirming you have the right place... and you'll notice a tidy little "Get Directions" button just below it - which is another great way that android links android browser, google maps and google navigation!

i reckon that would work for most restaurants and the like.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] chachi:
Agreed ... iGO is far superior to either and not only just on Android platform

my wifes had nDrive, iGO and 2 others on her headunit and begged me to put iGO back on after one journey with the others.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] randommandan:
Ive always had problems with Co-Pilot for some reason, mainly it refusing to get a GPS lock.

havent tried NDrive, as i found Sygic Mobile Maps to work perfectly well

co-pilot not working on my 2.3 rom so now im using sygic Mobile MAPS 10
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hige:
I've tried N-Drive and it's very accurate and so on, but i've settled down with Copilot and i'm very happy.. i just think that n-drive should run better in Hero than Copilot, but copilot is just awesome..

Tried CoPilot and Sygic, ended with Navigon. Somehow it was simplest to use, but powerful enough

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Hi.

I bought a T-Mobile handset, but only because it was a bargain and used THIS guide to root and debrand my phone.

Follow it completely if you also want to root, OR, follow it to, and complete Step 5 so you have a generic 016 firmware, then run SEUS which will update you to R2BA026, then run THIS to root with an app should you want to.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Nah, once its unlocked its unlocked forever.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zodiac100:
I rooted my x10 mini pro using the exploid method to use barnacle wifi tethering and titanium back up to remove unwanted apps. A new software update is now available but i cannot install it because my phone is rooted. They say you need to use SE update service or pc companion to remove the root.

SE Update says my software is up 2 date and so cannot update using it PC companion also says my phone is up to date and when i try to repair ,it says could not download the update and asked me to check my internet connection. I don't understand this because I use the same PC companion to download everything else fine...media go, the update engine.

Is there another way to unroot the phone...i gather it is possible to flash the default u20i software back onto the phone.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated because as things stand I would not even be able to update to 2.1 when its released.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] snenz:
I also had a rooted X10 mini pro and I couldn't get the update without unrooting it. I ran Update Service and just like in your case, I got a message that my phone was up to date. However, when that message appeared, I could press "Install/Update" (don't remember what the button was called) in the bottom right corner of the screen. That reinstalled everything, root was removed, so I could update it and re-root it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zodiac100:
When I use the SE updated service it just says no new updates for your phone. The only button on the bottom right corner is exit. There is no option to install.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Clivectmob:
Just to be sure the se update service is a separate software to pc companion not part of it. I googled seus to find it. Just in case there is confusion, it also told me that it was up to date but I had the option to reinstall
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zodiac100:
Yes I know the Update service is a separate software to pc companion. I have a mini pro U20i and it gave me no option to reinstall only to exit the program. If the update service is the program with an icon of a phone with a download arrow beside it then thats what i'm using.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] teapea:
I am also having the exact same problem.

I cannot unroot my phone - and the SEUS just says I have the latest version installed and will not allow me to reinstall/repair.

Any other ideas would be appreciated!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dgnw:
I've had the same problem - rooted the mini Pro, then couldn't download the update and couldn't repair it using SEUS (saying I had latest version) or PC Companion (error with internet connection) and couldn't unroot it.

I've sorted it by using Omnius mentioned in another thread.

Register on the site and download the software and the ROM. I chose the U20i_WORLD_1_8_CDF1238_0199, which on a thread about changing the colour listed it as UK Black. It's a RAR with 2 files. I set the larger file to be Application file and the smaller one as the Customisation file.

Flashed it and it worked, back to stock without root. Took a while to boot from the SE logo, I thought I'd bricked it!

Downloaded the official OTA 1.2.A.1.174 and it installed. Going to test now, hoping that it may improve battery life, my only complaint with the phone.

Mine's a sim-free x10.

PS - It's still blue scheme, not black.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manom18x:
I just bought my new desire and I find out that the screen is Slcd and my SPL is HBOOT 0.83. Which guide I must follow to root this device?

Use the one called 'root method for hboot 0.83 slcd'. Obviously that is what you want. It's in desire Android development section. Search is your friend...
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] arikyeo:
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU TURN YOUR SPICA INTO A BRICK

Note that this guide is for windows. For Mac OSX and Linux, use the respective commands. Google is your saviour if you get into any trouble.

In this thread, I am going to show you how to change your shutdown screen into one that is less than an eyesore.

Sry in advance if I infringed anyone's copyright. Please do not sue me just like Oracle is to Google.

Ingredients:

~ Knowledge of adb

~ Android SDK with ADB

~ Preferred OS: Windows

~ 16 Shutdown images (For animation, all MUST BE IN PNG and resolution of 320x480; NO EXCEPTIONS)

First, get all the images you want to put in. Rename them to:

shutdown_1.png
shutdown_2.png
shutdown_3.png
shutdown_4.png
shutdown_5.png
shutdown_6.png
shutdown_7.png
shutdown_8.png
shutdown_9.png
shutdown_10.png
shutdown_11.png
shutdown_12.png
shutdown_13.png
shutdown_14.png
shutdown_15.png
shutdown_16.png

In the order you want the animation to look like. Paste them all in the folder where adb.exe is located.

Then, do the following commands: (Make sure adb.exe has cmd, and the terminal / cmd has administrative privileges. )

cd (folder where adb is located)
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/loop1 /system
adb push (images names, do for the 16 images) /system/media/video/shutdown/
adb shell reboot

Example (In my case)

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/loop1 /system
adb push shutdown_1.png /system/media/video/shutdown/
etc...
etc...
adb shell reboot

And voila! Finished! The next time you shut down your Spica you will see your not-so-eyesore shutdown screen.
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] arikyeo:
Sry, I cannot post my images without being verified by a moderator. Moderator, pls verify me. TYVM:)
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] munchy_cool:

[Galaxy Spica Android Development] arikyeo:
Sry I don't have much knowledge in recovery file creation. I usually adb push the files to the phone. :(

[Galaxy Spica Android Development] kenshinta:
Wanted to make this work but it doesnt on my phone. Are you sure the spica displays shutdown animations?
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] arikyeo:
Yes, it does (until I flashed Samdroid Kitchen)
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] Shreyas Jani:
MODERATOR.

Hi,this is the Moderator here...You need to increase your post count to above 8 ETHICAL AND SENSIBLE posts.after that,you will be able to post pictures.
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] arikyeo:
Ok thanks for telling me that. I will work on it.
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] arikyeo:
I'm not sure whether your telco had advertising on your phone by putting all those crappy shutdown screens but in my case, yes (Until I installed Samdroid Kitchen). From what I know, Singtel, Orange (I think I heard this from a website) and Israeli Telecom has those screens. If your telco does not have those advertising, the phone will either have the "Samsung" Shutdown Screen or none at all. Hence this may not work on all phones.

Guys, got problem with my brother's tmobile G2. It is stuck on Tmobile G2 screen after 5 mins it shows HTC logo and then again reboots. It is running stock unrooted 1.5 rom from tmobile. Fastboot doesn't work either. Is there a way i can re-install official rom from sd card? Or possibly can use goldcard method to root phone via sd card?

I used goldcard method on my own Tmobile G2 and therefore, I know it works but how can this be done without connecting it to computer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Just run an official HTC t-mobile rru (download from their support site) and it will wipe everything for you. Easy! No need for goldcard if your going from t-mobile to t-mobile rru. Don't install it from the sd - just install it in windows.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukripper:
Thanks fo reply, how can I install RRU via windows if it is not booting up in ROM itself? It is getting stuck in a boot loop when powering up and stuck on Tmobile logo.Any help is much appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Just try it. You should still be able to get into fastboot (vol down + power) etc.

Barin will probably be happy to have this (and probably be even happier to replace the code with a File.ReadAllBytes and a LINQ array search if he didn't chose to use NET 2.0 like I did).
[Windows Mobile] l2tp:
very interesting. what does this array (0x0C, 0x00, 0x94, 0xE5, 0x1F, 0x03, 0x50, 0xE3) mean? i.e. what code does it contain? it really can be found in new kernels only.
[Windows Mobile] -=Barin=-:
airxtreme, thanks for the info

But why should i be happy? :) When i build a rom i know exactly which kernel i use :)

Anyway i'll add the code to show info about kernel in log window.

PS I don't use .ReadAllBytes method to search a pattern. Sometimes i use it when i need to keep something in memory.

Check your decompiler ;)
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
I don't remember what it exactly does since it's stuff from several months ago but it should be code that is related to the new slots allocation that can be found only on windows mobile 6.5 kernels.

You certainly do but for first-time users it's not so immediate understanding that each device requires its own native kernel, that the kernel is specifically compiled for the windows mobile version it came with and that even though an old kernel may work on newer windows mobile builds the kitchen needs to know the version of the native kernel to do the proper slots allocation and if it's not chosen correctly the ROM could not work. If you auto-detect the kernel and remove the kernel selection option (that in the case of your kitchen being only labeled WM6.1/WM6.5 I think may confuse users into thinking the option has to do with the windows mobile version rather than the native kernel version) you can remove a considerable burden from beginners.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clio94:
In sense builds there is no this option.I think because htc desire,doesnot have endkey button.But if you use latest kernel compiled by michyprima http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756513 the endkey works without the need to set something in settings.

I completely disagree. There are a mere 3 stickies in the Development forum, of which one clearly, in the title, says "Don't post questions here!" This was a question, which directly violates the rules. Not only that, it's the most basic question of all (how to get started) which is

also

answered in the stickies. Why should we make any effort to help the OP (and many others on these boards) when they obviously made no effort of their own?

If you don't agree with me and feel the "purpose" of XDA is to baby everyone, I'd encourage you to check out some of the other sections that still have some activity and mods who care. You will find them to be a drastically different experience.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t12icky0:
I'm sorry but clearly he had to open the main cdma hero forum part. He SHOULD HAVE seen Q&A. Then decides to post in development. I'm not trying to be a prick I'm following The rule's.
