With all the made skillz here at XDA.

Do you think someone can whip up an app that when you hold the Search button, instead of picking voice search, it can open up the Camera app?

gracias
[Captivate Android Development] nbs11:
I believe long presses are handled by the kernal so it should be possible but I am not sure how.
[Captivate Android Development] sblees:
Currently, long press on the search opens google talk...maybe long press on the menu or something?

Good idea though ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
You get the option for powerstrip or chompsms to take over that button.

I would love an app to launch whatever you want, like the camera or the phone app.

Surely this should be super easy to make
[Captivate Android Development] bp787:
I would like it to be used for voice input in emails/texts. The tiny mic button is hard to hit on the Android keyboard.
[Captivate Android Development] saint168:
I use LaunchPro and setup the app drawer swipe up gesture to open camera, works well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
great suggestion.. using that now
[Captivate Android Development] justflorin:
Use the android market app called 'Button Shortcut' i made the long-press search open camera instead of google search.
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
Not seeing how to get to the swipe features. How can I do that?
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
I don't know about launcher pro but I do exactly the same in ADW. I took LP off after I discovered this in ADW, I never saw this in LP, did I miss it?
[Captivate Android Development] danspeed3:
Press and hold one of the apps in the app drawer until the menu pops up. Select 'Swipe Gesture Action'
[Captivate Android Development] CptTwinkie:
I took the advice. Since I already had handcent SMS assigned to the button and voice search had been assigned before that I got a nice little menu out of it. I think its more useful w/o selecting a default
[Captivate Android Development] xaudiblex:
Thanks! That application did the trick 8)

button shortcut worked once for me and then did nothing. uninstalled. Anyone got anything better?

I think I can easily flash the rom back to stock myself.

what about recovery? should i try flash it back to stock too?

and that open lock sign at the beginning, should I do anything about it?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
you cant get rid of that lock sign in the beginning. You can flash your recovery back, but what is wrong with the phone in the first place?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysaturdayself:
the gps does not work any more (I tried all the ways I can find here but no fix)

I think I can just hope they will not tell me the rooting voids warranty.. :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william tanaya:
Rooting will not void you warranty. Unlocking bootloader on the other hand, will void your warranty. But there are cases where people unlocked their bootloader, but still get their warranty.

Wish you luck.

First thing I would do is say goodbye to AMOLED.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh_lorax:
Wait, what?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexusdue:
Bullsh!t.

1. There are no SLCD replacements

2. You get the replacement before you send in your original, so you can always check

I guess it takes a savant MORON to switch an AMOLED to an SLCD via warranty exchange.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] theeedy:
Ask Google!

You need a app to "convert" the ECM-File to an Image. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DJBoxer:
There is an app called un-ECM for Droid that will convert .ecm files to .bin files without having to use a computer

hope this helps?
[Hero CDMA General] rank78:
I love my Hero but I've been wondering what new phones, official and rumored, are on the horizon. October a year will be up so something by the end of the year would be great.

It seems like this question gets asked here at least once every couple of weeks. Here's one from just last week: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=762198

The bottom line answer is always something like this:

Checking tech sites/blogs like Engadget, Wired, CNet, etc., as well as the official Sprint web site, is probably going to have just as much info and/or rumors as we would here. People who are "in the know" about what might be coming out soon are probably under non-disclosure agreements and can't even answer this question.
[Droid 2 General] knoxx:
Hey guys.. Last Monday I decided to buy the D2, and being that I came from an Eris, it's probably the best phone I've come across. But the port for the charger was quite loose and I didn't want to risk anything, so I exchanged it for another one. Now, I noticed that the battery cover for this D2 is a slightly different shade of navy blue than the rest of the back of the phone. I compared my phone to my friends D2, and his is all the same exact navy blue color. I was thinking that maybe they sold me a refurbished one?? I also noticed that all 7 screens were filled with widgets and shortcuts that my first D2 didn't have occupied. So it seems as though someone else customized the home screens. I just wanted to know if I was the only one that had this problem and whether or not I should return the damn thing while I'm still within my 30-day return period. I mean, I did pay the whole $600 for it, so I don't want a refurbished $600 phone. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks ;]
[Droid 2 General] chris.cox:
Did you get this from the Verizon store? I picked mine up from Best Buy on August 27th, and it was brand new. There is a very slight difference in the color of my batter cover to the small portion with the Google logo on it. The Google side having slightly more blue to it according to my eyes. As far as the screens being filled with widgets, when I bought the phone it was pretty bare, over the weekend I got an update and with the update all 7 screens were filled. That said, I don't think you got a refurbished phone, but if you did, then so did I

:o
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
If you had a new phone and returned it for a replacement it will most likely be used. Verizon takes the problem phone fixes it up and uses it as a replacement phone. Unless you were lucky enough for them to be out of used phones at that moment. Which then they would have probably just shipped you a used one.
[Droid 2 General] bizzshow26:
If they have you a used phone inside your 30 day window take out back and get another one you should have gotten a brand new one out of the box.
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
If you got a refurbished phone, it would be labeled Certified Pre-Owned Device with a sticker somewhere on the box that looks like the little "sticker" on this picture

Also, if your phone were a refurbished one it would not have had the screen protectors with blue tabs on it when you bought it.

Hey I know its out there somewhere but I can't find it. I accidentally lost my copy of the older version of Google voice and now I can't make free calls anymore. Anyone know where I can get the apk for it? Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modidlee:
Couldn't you just DL it from the market?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betcmrekoapl:
No the market has the updated version that has a static dial out number so the free calls "hack" is useless unless you have the older version of Google voice. I have seen it available on one of the android news sites but i can't find it anymore. If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated

[Click Android Development] soulaiman:
Hello all,

First of al, English isn't my best language, so sorry for any mistakes..

So a few days ago I flashed my tattoo with the hijackenROM 1.4 (android 2.1), but before this I had the FroYo AOSP rom (fyodor).The first thing that I remarked when I flashed the rom, is that it wasn't as speedy as the FroYo rom by fyodor, so I decided to go with a custom 1.6 rom (HCDR v1.6), and there was already ROMmanager installed on this ROM, so I wanted to flash my recovery to the newest Clockmod recovery ( the devlopper said that we should flash it to the buzz(wildfire) version of the recovery) so I did that, but since that day I can't acces my recovery anymore, I also can't flash another recovery trough fastboot or adb (remote: not allow) because I have a locked SPL I think. When I try to acces the recovery menu, it just stucks at the tattoo logo and nothing happens, so I allways have to swap out my battery and restart..

So my problem in fact is, how do I unlock my SPL to a engineering one so that I can flash trough fastboot? And can I also use a SPL of another phone (magic, g1) ?

Thanks for any help!
[Click Android Development] francians:
did you try to flash the official ruu with the goldcard? Then, I think, you should be able to root and install a recovery again..
[Click Android Development] gelim:
yes, definitly : goldcard + RUU should work if it's only boot/recovery partitions trashed.

It worked for me for the same problem.
[Click Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
This is the second time I have seen this problem. It seems odd. Me and quite a few others on here use clockworkmod from ROM manager and it works perfectly (doesn't even touch the recovery partition).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SS2006:

Hello guys and gals.

all of my GPS apps are not working, is there a fix for this? ( no signal, it says it has but it can't locate me.. )

or do i just have to wait? :D

( apps: google maps, Runstar, Runkeeper, Navigation, etc )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
try getting a signal in winMo first then load android, although usually I can load gps straight from android without having to get sattelites first.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xheroxkefx:
how do i get signal in WinMo?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
that means windows mobile. And if you have something like a tom tom gps app or garmin let the program acquire gps signal. or with a signal app for windows mobile.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xheroxkefx:
i dont even have signal in WinMo.. how is this possible?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
Make sure your outside and not near any thick buildings or else u will get blocked.

P.s sometimes it may take a lil longer :) also make sure u run quickGPS also :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xheroxkefx:
thanks for reply, do you have a app to set up my connection?

i dont have one..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
wich app are you refering to ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xheroxkefx:
i used Quick GPS, and it downloaded something.. but it doesnt help.

google maps says that i need a valid connection, it doesnt have any signal..

unless i turn on my wifi, but then it will just use wifi instead of gps.

how do i fix this /

do i need to have a data connection or 3G on?

cause its off..

( when wifi on, google maps is saying in a small window in the corner, "Seeking GPS sateliities (0).." )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
oh wierd, have you tried running connectiong setup?? in Start>settings>Connections

im using cosmik debris, so pretty ripped..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
yea sounds like ur missing your APN settings, i use NRG roms :), but anyways you should be able to go to start>settings>connections and there should be a "connection" program to add the settings to it.

yes there is, but i dont know what to click..

it has 4 options.

Add a new modem conncetion

My Work Network

Add a new modem ....

Add a new VPN Server ..

Set up a proxy server

and below a tab advanced, thats it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
hit Add a new modem connection. and fill it out, wich Cell phopne provider do u have ??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xheroxkefx:
Hi < My provider name ^^
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
lol! in that case

name:Media Net

Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS,3G)

Access Point Name: wap.cingular

User name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

than hit finish. that should fix ur problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xheroxkefx:
isnt that a 3G connection ( paid by MB? )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
if you dont have the Unlimited data plan than yes, in that case u might wana keep using WIFI
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Rajinn:
google maps requires a data connection and you have to goto options and enable Use GPS too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
If you cannot get a signal it maybe the rom that you flashed caused it?, maybe the radio might have something to do with it?( if you changed it of course). Also remember that most gps apps use data unless they have a local source of maps(on your sd card) and if you currently have your provider blocking data to prevent accidental usage then you may also be having trouble connecting because of it.

What you should do is go out to an open space, start up quickGPS and let it do its thing for about 10 mins. If you cant get a gps signal after that long it maybe your rom and or radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xheroxkefx:
i do have GPS on Win MO now, so thanks alot !

i just can't figure out how i can get it on android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
it has to do it on its own after you've started up a gps app. It happens almost immediately for me when im in android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xheroxkefx:
That happens to me to, it opens and searches for a GPS Sattalite to connect with, but it just can't find any sattalites
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bieka:
Seems like GPS is buggy. Indeed i got a signal but Google Navigation and Navigon are freezing as well as the whole system. Anyone got a clue what this can be?

To the Topic, did you try a different Radio Rom? Or download a GPS Test app like http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/market/apps/app/com.chartcross.gpstest/GPS-Test ?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redthehaze:
I've been looking around different forums but haven't found a dedicated guide for installing a custom rom after using the relatively new Universal Androot the Sprint CDMA Hero.

I'm wanting to install the new CyanogenMod on my Hero since Sprint has made my phone obsolete and hardly usable.

I think the next step is doing a nandroid backup or disabling OTA updates but have been a bit cautious as to I'm new with the Android OS. Can anybody point me to a guide or suggest where I can pick up next? Also can anyone point me to an up-to-date nandroid backup guide?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Make sure you have a custom recovery image flashed on your phone. From there, making nandroid backups and flashing new ROMs is as easy as reading the menu prompts in your recovery image.

You are already rooted so not all these steps will apply to you, but this post here should help get you further along: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572

Also, the "Take Control..." link in my signature will be very helpful for you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeInTheGrey:
Once you've installed a Custom Recovery Image, just boot to recovery (Hold the home button and press power ... hold home until it vibrates). It will boot to recovery, then you can select "Backup/Restore" and "Backup Nandroid". It will ask you to press Home to confirm, and once you do it will create the backup. Once finished, you can install custom roms.

To do this, download the zip for the rom from the forums for that rom, and save it to the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery, and wipe all traces of the current rom. To do this, select "Wipe", then select ext partition, dalvik-cache, and data (wipe each individually in that order). Then, press back button to return to the main screen. Then choose flash zip, and choose the rom zip you saved. Press home to confirm, and it will install. Reboot, and you have a new rom!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmoreman:
Thanks for the great newbie "how to" below, I just finished rooting, want to go to cm6. I know I can do this, have messed with Windows and Pre, but have one question -

how do I get the zip rom to the card? I have been on Treos too long without using card, can see no way to read, see access, to see what goes on it. With this information, I will try immediately - my goal was tethering, increased speed, and flexibility.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Plug your USB cable/charger into your phone and PC. After a second or two, you should see a little USB icon show up in your taskbar. Slide your taskbar down and touch that notification -- it will pull up a little menu with 3 or 4 options -- choose Disk Drive mode. That lets you mount the SD card to your PC, just like a flash drive or memory stick would mount. From there you can put files on, remove files, create new folders, etc.

Put the ROM .zip in the root (main) directory of the sd card to be able to flash the ROM from recovery.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redthehaze:
Here's another noob question, I just want to make sure since I've only one phone right now and depend on it for work: What exactly is a Custom Recovery Image?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
The custom recovery allows you to do all sorts of things that you can't do otherwise to your phone,such as installing and using all the cool Custom ROM and update zips,installing different kernals for the processor in your phone to set the CPU to what ever you want it to run, wiping various parts of the device it self or on the sd card with all of the the different types of caches and different partitions after changing to a custom rom and being able to make a different partitions and such that you will need to do this to begin with, being able to back up your data and restoring the phone to it's original state or to a state where it was working with a custom rom before having trouble,like if something you have installed is making it crash or force closed.

In other words it is something you need if you want to do anything with your phone to change it from a paper weight like it is to you in stock form to what they can be once it's unlocked...

[Captivate General] 8525Smart:
Now Froyo is supposed to be a major milestone with Android, but, frankly, I think the same thing was said about Android 2.1. I don't care much for the USB tethering (because we already have that), wifi hotspot feature (because I'm not going to use it), and so on, but there are a few major points of things I'm hanging on.

Notably, the supposed performance improvement being 2-5x greater than Android 2.1 That is a big claim and, if true, then the Captivate will be completely lag free on stock. If so, the usability on this phone will just shoot straight up. The smoother transition and animation should also help this greatly.

I'm not too concerned about having Flash 10.1, but Froyo is also supposed to come with numerous other improvements. I know the browser is being updated to support some hardware features, but I hope Google is also improving the general usability of the browser. As it is now, it kind of sucks. Additionally, I also hope the Youtube app is also updated.

Nonetheless, even if all the others remain nothing more than a dream, I, at the least, hope the improvement performance/transitions/animation turns out to be something of substance.

Well, here's to September.
