So on a G1 (DREAM) on top of running cyangenmod froyo

CyanogenMod 6.0.0-DS-RC3

from

(spam filter won't allow the outside links ... sorry)

with Amon Ra recovery I installed gapps hdpi

from mediafire gapps-hdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip

I have no market but other google apps like maps working fine so I need to fix.

some one suggested needed Mdpi version of Gapps is better esolution for G1/dream.

this thread in the xda forum

p=7664719

suggested someone copying "classes.dex from your fix	MarketUpdateHDPIFRF84B.zip

(at attachmentid=366809&d=1280104968 ) to cyanogen's gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3.zip and I got Market unlocked." on their G1 as of aug 14th.

can I install an gapps Mdpi without erasing anything of a gapps HDPI already installed first?

also how do I back up data before installing MDPI version

Rom manager says need to install clockworkmod recovery to back up.

would love to back up some google data like contacts first unless they will sync from gmail account.

I am thinking of installing

gapps-mdpi-20100816-signed.zip

which is the lastest mdpi gapps at

mirror

doott kanged dooott net/gapps/.

or trying the classes.dex fix mentioned above.

It's hard to keep track of the latest gaaps files for the g1 that have a working market!

Thoughts ?

many thanks beforehand.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcpure:
I just recently purchased a generic bluetooth car kit to FM transmitter on ebay and I hooked it up to find that it did not support A2DP. All that came up was hands free headset for voice. I was wanting to use the bluetooth to play music and use my gps through the car speakers as well. I have done many google searches and looked through the forums on several sites. I found many toggles for A2DP but none of them will install on the HD2. I was wondering if there is a setting in the phone already that will enable all sound to come through the bluetooth. I know it is possible because I accidently did it once with a bluetooth headset. I just need to know if anyone can help me figure out how to do this. I don't mind going through several screens everytime to do it. (If I did, I wouldn't have stuck with Windows Mobile) Any ideas?

Hey Guys!

today i regonized that theres a nice Gadget available!

Parrots AR Drone!!

maybe known from the Google IO...

but as some Posts at the parrot sdk ar drone forum sounds like theres no android version comming ... at least android 3.0 (gingerbread) would get release...

because, now the big boom: "NO Ad-Hoc Wifi" supported from Android ???

this Infos is also readable in the AR Drone SDK, ...

there is a "Android" Version there too... but its meant to not build a real port of that...

so i'm not a softwaredeveloper... i did some small coding years ago...

but nothing for Linux ... nothing really usefull either...

maybe some of the geeks here are also such impressed of this little funny gadget, to look closer to this project?!

i'm really pissed a bit of parrot... really a good thing there so many people willing to pay for such a toy...

maybe its up to us to build our own ar Drone app with no bloody thanks to parrot??

what are you thinking?

i just uploaded the ardrone SDK (before parrot comes the clue to remove it... or just remove the android part of it... who knows ;) )

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
I've been reading around and is anyone successful with the sequence of

--Charge Phone while on

--wait until fully charged.

--unplug charger

--turn off device

--charge until fully charged.

--unplug charger

--turn on device

--when phone is completely done rebooting turn off

--plug charger again until full

--turn on device and move on

and how does that relate with the reset battery stats on clockwork mod?

can anyone elaborate D:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajeoo:
I tried that method and i didn't see a difference in battery life. Didn't wipe battery stats through clockwork.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserNamer:
I did it the other day when I first saw the post and I seem to be getting better battery life. Could be a typical placebo effect, but my phone sat on 100% for a couple of hours after doing this (with negligible use during that time, except for my compulsive turning on the screen every few mins to see if the battery had dropped - using Fightspit's Super Circle Battery Mod).

The two slight changes I made from the posted steps:

1. My first step was to wipe the battery stats using ClockworkMod. No special knowledge here, and I have no idea if this was a good idea or a bad idea, but I figured the best way to calibrate the battery gauge would be to start the process with no history. I didn't want to add to the old history, I wanted to start fresh.

2. I did the "unplug the phone, turn it on, when it's completely on, turn it off, plug in the charger, charge with phone off until you get the 'full' message'" part an extra two times. Just because. The first "extra" time, it took a few minutes to get the "full" message. The second extra time, the full message was pretty much instant and I was satisfied.

I do not recommend doing what I did

, because I have no idea whether it could ruin your battery in the short- or long-term.

Also note that my phone had a 43% charge when I first started this process, I didn't drain it until it turned off like some other calibration processes recommend.

Since I did this, I have just been letting it charge regularly overnight (phone on, plugged in) and it feels like the battery numbers drop more slowly with the same usage pattern.
[HD2 General] fusion06:
One day i was looking for a cab. that gave your top bar and bottom bar the transparent look but there were to many steps to perform. then,there was a way to do it using B4all..which i didn't have..so i started tinkering with my CHT editor and found a way to make it look like i had no bars at all! Simply go to 'set wallpaper' on the CHT menu.choose a wallpaper for portrait 480x800 like you'd normally do.now scroll down to the skin task bar and soft key bar section and select the same wallpaper you used for portrait.now when you restart and go to your home screen,it SHOULD look like you have no task bar or soft key bar at all!! i apologize if this has already been discussed on another thread..there's just sooo many to go thru.:D :p ;)

No problem Juggs. I figured, if i could save others time and headaches from trying to find a cab that does it,then why not.lol..because i went thru a few headaches myself. i'm kind of a noob at this but i'm somewhat self teaching myself by tinkering with stuff and following this XDA thread. :D
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
Nice of you to share this information, but this functionality isnt within the CHTeditor, its standard functionality of CHT and would work without the Editor.

Also, I am sure the updated release notes of CHT states the added functionality without anyone having to trawl through the dedicated thread.

I'm using Energy's Reference with radio 2.12.50.02_2 and it's working really well for me. That said, I don't think there is a perfect solution. You need to find the right radio/rom combination for your needs and area and then find a android build that plays nice with it. Shouldn't be much of an issue getting it worked out though.

[Desire General] mrdo:
due to the desire being a fairly internet connected phone, i thought i'd try and use it as such only to fall foul of vodafone's rather poor 500mb "unlimited" mobile internet limit.

i've notice the following on their website :

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/forum-53/announcement-137-updated-mobile-internet-charging/

has anyone managed to change to the new "premium" price plan and does it mean that my contract will be reset in any way or does it mean that i can use my desire for what it was designed for ?
[Desire General] rob81h:
Hi, I think you mean 500MB (Megabyte) not 500mb (megabit)

And to be honest unless your on youtube or watching porn 24/7 500MB is plenty for daily use on a phone!:p

Edit: And as far as i'm aware the 500MB is more of a "fair usage policy" than a restriction,

Meaning if you do go over (unless it's by alot) then you won't get charged!

But if you go over on a regular basis then i believe it's £5 for every other 500MB.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
500MB is woefully inadequate for a phone like the Desire - I'm a relatively heavy user and will always go well over 500MB (mostly for email/web with no streaming video).

My brother, who doesn't use his phone internet much at all, consumes close to 500MB every month. It seems to me that a 500MB allowance is really only for very light users.

IMHO, the only UK carrier with a decent data allowance for Android phones is T-Mobile, which give you 3GB.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] PianoSam:
Without any streaming video just 4 websites including this one and market app/updates I have since 13 august used 423.4mb.

The limit is too low and is a monthly not daily limit.

Sam
[Desire General] rodenal:
I'm on vodafone and use roughly 700mb a month on my desire - I've never as yet had a warning or charge for my data usage.

One annoying thing about vodafone is their online account checker doesn't even tell you what your data limit is! So I'm not sure that i'm on a 500mb limit (though i was certainly led to believe it would be when i took out the contract)
[Desire General] mikecsmith:
Dial 44555 and Vodafone will send you a txt with how much of your allowance you've used. In the UK anyway.
[Desire General] C_S_R:
I called voda to complain as my wife just took a desire out on contract with them and get 1gb & also there tarrifs online now say the desire comes with 1gb of data,

took 2 min on the phone and they upped mine from 500mb to 1gb at no extra cost. :)
[Desire General] mrdo:
apologies and yes, the limit is a monthly limit rather than a daily limit.

i will try and call vodafone to get my limit upped to 1GB. it's rather disappointing to pay so much for a phone and then not be able to use it properly. i'm not hammering the thing, i just like to be kept up to date ...

i went with vodafone because they were the only network to offer good reception at my home and work but the upgrade to froyo has meant that my connection at home has all but disappeared. :-( perhaps i should have gone with tmobile. or at this rate, it might be cheaper to move house. :-)
[Desire General] Smith2001:
I have 3G watchdog installed, and also i use the mobile data settings widget on my front screen, when its not in use i turn it off. when i want it i turn it on. This has greatly improved my battery life too. i only use about 125mb a month now too and thats going on all the sites i normally and downloading off the market.
[Desire General] fotisp88:
From that post I understood 2 things.

1.one is that if you got a desire price plan you are eligible to update to 1gb allowance at no extra cost or extra months

2.if you can prove them that by this change in charge you will have to pay more than 10% of what you had to pay before you can send them a written notice and you can brake your contract without any penalty. 10% is if you are paying 30 pounds per month and you have to pay this extra 5 pounds = 35 pounds per month then you go over the 10% and you can send them a letter to brake your contract (but only after you receive a text message saying that you are close to them limit and they have to accept your letter as justified.

it is not clear but i can assume that if you go over 1gb after 1/10 then you automatically pay 5 pounds and also it is not clear if you decide to brake your contract if you keep the desire but i guess you keep it.

what do you think? Did I get it right?

PS: personally i have my phone auto updating facebook email etc, i use it for skype, msn, browsing and some youtube and i am always around 1gb. So i can be happy with the 1gb limit.
[Desire General] mrdo:
that sounds about right to me but it's still very confusing.

from what i understand, if you went slightly over your 500MB limit before they'd probably have done nothing about it.

now they will automatically bill you an extra £5. i'm assuming that this also applies to your 1GB limit too :-(
[Desire General] nparley:
I think the term that vodafone are refering to is:

b You may end this agreement by writing to us if:

# we increase your charges in the UK which have the effect of increasing your total call and usage charges (based on your usage in the previous month) by more than 10% and you write to us before the increase applies;

and to answer another question:

d When this agreement comes to an end:

* we will disconnect your mobile equipment from the network (you may keep the mobile equipment);

* You will not have to pay us any more for the mobile equipment or any of the other cancelled services.
[Desire General] st0kes:
Well, a few days ago Vodafone sent me a text that said:

Reading from that, if you go over by 1 megabyte you will be charged an extra £5.

IMO it should state "500Mb of data" on the plan, not unlimited. I agree with other comments above that this isn't enough. A little bit of web browsing every day on the train soon racks it all up.
[Desire General] fotisp88:
i remember the day they called me because i told them i will end my contract (my previous one) and i was thinking of making a contract with t mobile (it was the best deal then) and the guy on the phone make me a match at everything except the internet which he called "unlimited internet with a fair usage of 500MB"(also t mobile was giving a free boldon i think). And i did ask what happens next if you use more than that and the answer was "nothing but if you keep doing that for some months you will probably get a call advising you to change plan".

And now vodafone is about to start charging us. Even the 1GB limit is the 1/3 of the 3GB limit T mobile has.

I am very happy with vodafone in customer service but if I need to pay extra 5 pounds for just another 500MB then I wont keep that contract.

We are in 2010 and mobile internet is a must I am not going to stop using my phone because vodafone is going to charge me. My desire replaced my laptop and I am very happy with that vodafone is not going to tell us how much we are allowed to use our phone.

Just do the maths even on a 50 pounds per month contract an extra 5 pounds is 10% so you are allowed to end your contract and keep the Desire. If you want you can make a new contract and get a new desire or anything else you like! or just make a very cheap sim only contract for your desire with a provider that doesn't care if you like using internet facebook youtube etc so much!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerbak:
Okay, the headline might be a bit dramatic, but I've used a couple of days figuring all this android stuff out.

I've rooted my HTC Hero G2 (European version). I was previously using the official 2.1 with LauncherPro modding and stuff and I liked the speed, but wanted to try out Froyo.

So I started out by rooting..

Then I installed Fusion!ROM 2.2, but after the installation I played around with the phone a little and found it to be a bit laggy. I then started reading some stuff about Kernels and overclocking.. But it's impossible for me to find a proper and well describing guide on how to do this..

I read that it's just like flashing a rom but do you do flash it to the phone after flashing the custom rom?

Of course this is not something I played around with when using the Fusion!ROM because I downloaded the version called:

Software over-clockable version... clocks reset when phone is rebooted...

And just now I found out that I needed to download some software to overclock the phone but isn't there some easier way.. for example downloading some of the other versions, but I didn't want to download because I'm afraid of breaking my phone in unawareness.

Also I read about FroydVillain 1.4 (but is this a Froyo version? Assuming so on the name, but couldn't find a statement on the download site..) and it seems to be a very popular rom including LauncherPro and ADWLauncher.. And since I liked LauncherPro on the official 2.1, I'm thinking about checking this one out.. but again I'm stuck with the kernel/overclocking question..

I thank you in advance for a guide / some good advice and as you might have noticed I'm quite new to all this stuff so I'm sorry for being a newb ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikeytjee:
1. First you need the custom rom and if you want a kernel, you should flash the kernel on top of the custom rom, just get into recovery mode and press flash zip and choose the kernel.

2. Software over-clockable version... clocks reset when phone is rebooted just means that you can overclock your rom with software like SetCPU and overclock widget, which means that you can set your desired speed in the software. And you can't break your phone by flashing a kernel or overclocking it.

3. Yes froydVillain is a 2.2 (froyo) ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~David:
Flash ROM > Flash Kernel

And definitely try FroydVillain (yep, it's Froyo).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerbak:
Cheers!!

I didn't expect getting an answer before tomorrow but seems I was wrong.

I just flashed the FroydVillain and I'm about to try it out.

Is there any restrictions to what the HTC Hero / G2 can handle of kernels? And what are the differences between them?

On the FroydVillain page I've find a couple of different ones.. 614 / 652 / 691 and so on.. One idea on which one is fitted for a G2?

Once again.. thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~David:
Everybody's Hero's are different and can handle different clock speeds. 652 is safe, most can handle 691 and the 700s are pushing it for many.

Just a matter of trial and error to see the fastest yours can take.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerbak:
Doesn't the initial clock speed have some limitations on the battery life time on the phone?

I also have just one question to the FroydVillain which you might be able to answer for me...

I doesn't seem like my Lock Screen works..? I've set up a pattern but nothing really happends. I've also added the Power Control widget and ensured that the lock pattern is enabled through this widget..

EDIT: I know why.. nvm ;)

Not an app, but I find Google Sync invaluable for synching my email and Google Calendar with my phone.

Another very invaluable feature is the ability to tether or create a WiFi hotspot, both of which are already included in the Energy ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cbeck:
Search the forums for "keep recording" (or just scroll through the "software worth installing thread" stickied in this forum, it's on post 2). I use it all the time to record important conversations about manuscripts we are working on, so I can dictate thoughts later into paragraph form. Keep recording lets you save to storage card, rename, and pause a recording session to skip over parts you are not interested in. I figure it would probably come in handy for reviewing class sessions or key parts of a lecture when a prof is discussing something important.

A program like spb wallet (or similar freeware) is also handy for storing University ID, pins, and email/web passwords securely. I couldn't live without it.

Evernote: (also in the software worth installing thread) is good for taking/viewing quick notes, reminders) Notes are stored on the cloud, and can be accessed and added to from any computer. I've heard a lot of good things about it, though haven't gotten around to installing it yet since I can accomplish essentially the same thing with the synced tasks and calendar on my MS enterprise account.
