[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fireloon:
As a new android user I have one suggestion for you:

Spend a lot of time reading about all the things you find on this forum and play with your phone a lot;)

I did not know anything about android or the phone itself (apart from tech specs and a few things I saw on hands on videos and reviews) till I signed up here. I've read a lot here that made me understand how my phone works.

Atm I'm using LauncherPro and my SGS is rooted and running JM5 firmware. If you read related articles you will find that unrooting your phone and restoring it to your stock firmware is fairly easy.

I have been installing, testing and keeping or uninstalling loads of apps. Some of them people have recommended here (like Titanium Backup) and some I just was curious about (like Unified Remote). So I would say browse the market or other onilne sources and experiment with new apps.

I even feel comfortable now to use adb to pull system files from the phone and see what's in them and if there's room for customisation.

Even been reading a bit about Java fgs:eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spandsbab:
Yep two thumbs up for you! Well I have always felt I'm more of a Sith than a Jedi:D! Be stepping on the dark side soon too, thanks for the great advice and Ima doing it!
[Hero CDMA General] Emrys_90:
I can get your Hero on Boost Mobile with calls, text, mms, and data working. Contact me through PM and I'll give you more information. This method will work on the Pay as you Go or the Unlimited for $50 plans.
[Hero CDMA General] D3FAULT:
Why would you not just post it? I personally don't need it, but still..
[Hero CDMA General] Emrys_90:
Because I'm not offering to give a guide, but to do it for you over a remote desktop connection.
[Hero CDMA General] knives89:
How do we know we can trust you? i dont wanna like an ahole but its hard to trust a stranger. either way i need help i cant get the evdo to work! it shifts from x1 to evdo but it never works!
[Hero CDMA General] Emrys_90:
You'd see everything I was doing on your computer, so you'd know if I was tampering with files I shouldn't. As towards payment, you wouldn't pay me until after I'm finished.
[Hero CDMA General] knives89:
what if the donor phone has a messed up usb post and cant acces it with QXDM?
[Hero CDMA General] Emrys_90:
Then Ev-Do is not possible and the most you can get is 1xrtt.
[Hero CDMA General] -Apollo-:
More important people in this community ie Darchstar don't even ask for money and they do a lot for us. You're gonna come in here trying to sell your services, taking over our desktops? Who are you?? Good luck dude:cool:
[Hero CDMA General] Emrys_90:
Only reason I'm trying to sell it is because I'm extremely low on cash at the moment. I'm all for posting the link to the guides I used it the mods would allow it, but I'm offering to do it for people because if you don't know what you're doing you can seriously screw up your phone.
[Hero CDMA General] Big-O-Devil:
easy,easy.:eek:.. nobody has a gun to our head.:rolleyes:... dudes just trying to make some $$$... theirs noting wrong with that..... hope it goes good for him... he just has to remember that he is in a community where everything is free... and its going to be a lil hard to get some people to pay... but then again we are in 2010 and some people would rather pay and get it done right then take a free risk and have it go bad.... so..... to each its own....:cool::cool:
[Hero CDMA General] n!ck:
The user ch_ee_ko is running his sprint hero on boost mobile, and has a FREE guide on how to do it in his sig.
[Hero CDMA General] Emrys_90:
I'm not selling a guide, what I'm selling is the service of doing it for you. This can be complicated and if you do not know what you're doing can screw up your phone. Not everyone wants to take that risk.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
No he doesn't. I'm looking for all the necessary information, so if someone is willing to send it to me, and it's confirmed working, etc, then PM it to me please. I'll do the modding myself.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
then he should post his services on craigslist like i do. btw you don't need his help, there is free guides on how to do it online, do a google search.
[Hero CDMA General] Emrys_90:
Of course there's guides, if you want to risk breaking your phone. Like I've said, I'm offering this service to do it for people who don't want to take that risk.
[Hero CDMA General] Emrys_90:
I haven't heard anything about this, but if its true then thats awesome.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
i don't think so.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
lol... of course there is a risk to doing anything, including rooting your hero. my point is, mostly everyone could do it for free. what if you brick it while remotely doing it? get my drift.
[Hero CDMA General] Emrys_90:
I haven't bricked a phone yet, I know what I'm doing with it.
[Hero CDMA General] chimstar:
doing the hero is quite easy, i have done a few in fact i got bored with the hero after i put my evo on boost, shame i have two heros sitting in a draw, and now currently working on a verizon incredible on boost, gotta say evo is rockin on boost with awesome 3g speeds but the only thing that was a pain for the heros and evo's where getting evdo setup properly (gotta know what your doing). I also have a droid x but at the moment I cant get motorola on boost =/ even did a few samsung moments on boost and trust me I am a noob still. user ch_ee_ko was a big help in the early stages for me....his guide pointed me in the right direction.....i say if you have the loot pay the dude to do it for you, but if your a hands on type like me then search into it.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
you just jinxed everyone by saying you haven't bricked one YET ;)
[Hero CDMA General] shooozs:
Just curious if you got rid of the boostUNLTD banner on the lock screen? And if so how you did it? Thx
[Hero CDMA General] immortalsoule:
Does anyone else offer this service? I've contacted the dude in question and he doesn't reply. I've got a HERO i would love to get on Boost but i don't trust myself (because i'm a horrible keyboard clutz) adn could get the wrong number in there. If anyone does this, or can provide a simple explanation, let me know and i'll ship you a few free PPC phones to play with (that i don't use anymore). Maybe if someone could spoon-feed the process mnaybe i could do it but...(shrug).
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
How much you sellin them for?
[Hero CDMA General] billodell:
I lol'd... hard.
[Hero CDMA General] djtony:
i need my phone done
[Hero CDMA General] ac1dslayer:

Here's a review of the Droid 2 AC Vent Car Mount:

http://droid2accessories.com/droid-2-accessories/droid-2-car-mount-review/

Works fine!
[Droid 2 Accessories] whopper68:
i like it...but see..the only problem i see is the little leg below...i own a 240...and unlike ur SUV...it desnt have a section that stick out below the AC center vents...its all flush

pic for reference...not my car

http://www.superstreetonline.com/featuredvehicles/130_0604_1989_nissan_240sx/photo_12.html

sigh...
[Droid 2 Accessories] ZPrimed:
Proclip is what you want. proclipusa dot com.

Get the car specific base mount for your ride, and then pick up either a "ball" mount (i.e. ball and socket - Garmin Nuvi 660 piece will work), or look at the "dual prong T" mounting clip with tilt-swivel. This should fit into the back of the OEM car mount (just slide this in instead of the supplied bits). I haven't tested the dual-prong T thing, but it looks like it should work.

I have tested the ball and socket method and it does work, although it's not quite as snug as I'd like. Proclip's swivel adapters are a lot more secure / stiffer.

Especially with the D2, where the mount is way more elaborate. The original D1 mount worked better with the ball & socket setup since it was lighter.
[Droid 2 Accessories] whopper68:
i found this one during my search

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2#ht_2177wt_911

its looks to be D2 specific...so ill post up some pics once i get it :D
[Droid 2 Accessories] CIPuyleart:
I've been using Pro-Clip for years (ATT 8525, Tilt, Fuze, VZW TP2), so I've got the vehicle mount already.

I picked up the OEM D2 mount, but was still scratching my head on how to mount it to the Proclip vehicle mount (I HATE suction cups on the windshield). So, I just ordered the two-prong T plate

http://www.proclipusa.com/store/pro...)-mounting-plate-with-tilt-swivel-215199.aspx

Looks like it should work great - will see in a few days when the order arrives.
[Droid 2 Accessories] CIPuyleart:
Finally got the two-prong plate for the proclip mount and put it on last night. The OEM car mount cradle fits it like a glove, and I've got the ability to adjust for angle too! Definitely a great way to go (although not cheap when I add up all the individual components).

Now to figure out just which apk's to rename to disable that ghey "Cardock" app - the media player it links is TERRIBLE!
[Droid 2 Accessories] elzapato:
I know this is an old thread, but I got a Proclip and love it. Just wanted to say thanks for the lea.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BeLa-Vg-CRO:
Hi guys!

I`ve got some ****ty problems with my MDA.

After some rome changing actions my phone started to act like moron.

To be specific, when someone tries to call me, phone rings about 15 secs then restarts!

Without SIM card it works just fine! It dosen`t restart and gets turned of until battery is totally depleted.

Wherę`s the problem?

I`m currently runnin` stock HTC P3300 ROM with spb suit.

(Got bored with all those new only problem making roms)
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] raving_nanza:
...

i recon either..

1. change rom..

2. get new battery.. (if device still restarts like you say) (leave it off while you charge it, green light when done)

Rn
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BeLa-Vg-CRO:
1.

I`ve changed already 4 roms since the problem first appeard.

Everything started when i was using Emrulez WM 6.5 standrad edition rom

2.

Like I said... Without SIM card, phone works just fine.

Help needed! :(
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] q123456:
yea, but with sim it's more drain from battery. Especially when someone calls you (this specific moment is the biggest stress for battery).

If your batt is dying it can't hold on steady voltage in stressful moments and PDA simply shuts down
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] raving_nanza:
...

new battery dude ;)
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BeLa-Vg-CRO:
Some updates :D

In last few days I`ve found the just right ROM for me and my arte :)

It`s the HTC 4.2 Touch Rom with 4 sided cube.

I love it! :D

The self restart problem is still here, so I`m definitely gettin a new battery.

Only bad thing is that I`m gettin new device... E72, HD2 or BB 8900curve
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BeLa-Vg-CRO:
Hi guys! Yeah, it`s me again xD

I`ve got one very irritating problem.

When I recive sms on my mda it stays in inbox, but every next message that arrives (from same contact) deletes that old one... So in short words there is no message history!

As I said rom is HTC 4.2 Touch Rom with 4 sided cube.

Please help! :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] BeLa-Vg-CRO:
??? :confused: :(
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] raving_nanza:
..

probably the rom your using dude..

i would try installing threaded txt messaging..

(makes messages look like a Im chat.. eg, smiley sms.cab, click link for uploads in my sig, iv uploaded it in that thread)(its worth a try if you dont want to be changing your rom)

hi guys i am trying to flash the wifi tether and other mods but for some reason i cant do it. it just stays on installing update..... the bar does not progress what am i doing wrong?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Not sure if it matters, but do you have USB debugging on and checked to allow installation from "unknown sources?"
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
yes i do..
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Try re-installing clockwork. Flash the mod from rom manager.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
how do i do that? just tap on flash clockmodrecovery? on rom manager? to re-install?
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
i flashed the odin stock rom and it still does not work.......... what is going on
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Yes, the flash clockwork option. Do you have root? The stock rom doesn't.

taking a look at styles.xml now
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
Still having trouble with this. How can no one know how to change the text colors?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
They do, they just haven't come across this thread yet :)

This was done on the Hero, I don't remember on what theme though. You might do a little searching in the CDMA Hero Theme section.

Or just PM Koni or Magnus, I would bet both of them know what's up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MappaM:
Hello !

I wrote some scripts for easily pushing and installing files/apks to your android device.

The advantage over "command line" and other scripts like mine :

- Multiple selection allowed (install 100 APKs in one click ! )

- You have a progress bar (shows only the progression between multiples files/ not the state of a single pushing).

- You can choose the destination on your phone with a simple prompt by choosing "Push to ..."

- It's a very simple and lightweight nautilus script...

- You don't have to (in fact, you can't) put the usb in "usb disk" mode, just have debugging enabled.

Examples

To simply install some applications, just select them, right click, go to scripts->ADB->install

Progression :

Idem for files :

Progress :

Confirmation :

(So the "Push to ..." allow you to choose a destination. "Push to musique" is just a copy of "Push to sdcard" with the second line of the script changed to copy files to /sdcard/music/ instead of /sdcard/ ;) )

How to install

- Download the scripts :

http://www.itstudents.be/~tom/android/ADB Scripts for Nautilus.tar.gz​

- Uncompress the files in ~/.gnome2/nautilus_scripts/ADB/

So if your name is mario, you should copy the 3 files to :

/home/mario/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ADB/

You are not obliged to make the last folder named ADB, it's just to make "categories" in the Nautilus script menu (like in the screenshots)​

Requirements

- A correctly installed ADB

What is a correctly installed ADB?

- The PATH environment variable has to be set, to be able to just type "adb" and not "/path/to/sdk/platform-tools/adb". If it's not done :

Edit the file ~/.bashrc , you can do that by typing in the console

gedit ~/.bashrc

and add this line changed for yourself at the end of the file

export PATH=${PATH}:/path/to/android-sdk-linux_86/platform-tools/

Or, if this does'nt work :

Edit the file /etc/environment , you can do that by typing in the console

gedit /etc/environment

and add this text changed for yourself at the end of the line "PATH:", before the last ["]

:/path/to/android-sdk-linux_86/platform-tools/

- The rules for udev have to be made to allow any non-root user to access to the device

Method for any HTC device :

Edit with root rights the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51.android.rules by typing in the console :

gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51.android.rules

and add the lines :

SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

Hope you'll enjoy !

Please correct my english ;)

Stupid me...

http://www.kmel.be/~tom/android/ADB Scripts for Nautilus.tar.gz

Please note a little "bug", the progress bar progress when a file start transfer. So if you send just one big file, it will be at 100% for a little time...

Easily correctible, but I haven't the time now...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pietro_spina:
nice work. very handy

EDIT: actually I may have spoke too soon, these don't seem to be working for me. Ubuntu 10.10

I know my udev and $PATH are all set up correctly. So I'm not sure where these are failing for me..

any thoughts?

EDIT2: OK it was a $PATH issue the ~.bashrc however is only for interactive non login shells adding the adb path to ~.profile and a re-login solved my problem with this script. Or alternatively you could call adb in the script using it's full path.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pietro_spina:
Thanks MappaM for the great base script!

Here is my version of "Push to Movies":

My solution to the immediately full progress bar was to use the --pulsate option in zenity this works for me because I am likely to only be sending one file anyway and don't need the fine grain feed back of an incremental progress bar. The one that bounces back and forth is what you will see.

echo "15" ; sleep 1

is a hack, you may not need it but for me it lets the pulsate flag work.
