[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysFailure0x5a:
I am a long-term tech enthusiast. I have extensive experience in IT including networking and have a Cisco certification. I was into IT and web development when I was just 13. I'd like to get into development for Droid and do have some basic Linux experience originating several years back in Apache and other systems administration. I've been doing some reading but would like to hear it from the horses mouth. From a developer, what would you recommend I read and learn for Android development, kernels, hacking, etc. ? I'd like to participate in ROM's development, kernels, apps, tweak, tutorials, etc. I'm new to Android so I'm fairly n00b in my own right.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doward:
I have learned a metric ****ton just by searching the archives around here :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasongthang:
classic lol.

I really don't think there is an Android Development manual laying around. I highly doubt many people here took a linux-specific class or anything. Just from searching the forums, different web write-ups, etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cardiox:
I would say learn Java...big advantage knowing this for sure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
i agree for apps you will want to start with java. I have nto done much in kernels etc so am not sure what a good starting place is for them but for reading the code and making apps etc start with Java then learn the additional android functions etc.

So, as I'm beginning to tire of having to keep moving all of my shortcuts after each new ROM flash for organization, I made a small little script to do that for me.

However, part of it isn't working. It will successfully move shortcuts from the root of start menu to other folders, but will not copy shortcuts off of my storage card into the start menu. Any ideas why?

Here's that part of the script:

Copy ("\Storage Card\Garmin.lnk" , "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\")
Copy ("\Storage Card\Garmin\garmin.png" , "(\Windows\")

RegWriteString ("HKLM" , "\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Garmin.lnk" , "Icon" , "\Windows\Garmin.png")

Could someone please help?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] smithisize:
I figured out why. It's because "Storage Card" has to be shortened to "Storage"

I changed the script though. Instead of copying a link, I'm creating a new one.

CreateShortCut("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Garmin.lnk" , "\Storage Card\Garmin\Apps\QuePPC.exe" , TRUE)

Yes, the target parameter still says "Storage Card." That is because WINDOWS wil be interpreting that from the link once it has been created. So, if the parameter were simply "Storage" windows would be unable to find that and the link would be invalid.

Geez, been too long since I've coded. Too many dumb errors lol.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] acke2008:
Do you use Google Chrome to Phone. I just read a review about it. Chrome to Phone isn’t a new product — I’ve been using it since May. Chrome to Phone is a simple combination of a Chrome extension and Android application that allows you to click one button in your browser, and sync what you were viewing right to your Android phone to be check out at a later time.

Reading a news article but need to head out the door to drive to work? Simply click the Chrome to Phone button on your Chrome browser, launch the Chrome to Phone application on your Android device at work, and it immediately takes you to the webpage you were viewing at home so you can pick up right where you left off. I use this feature all the time, and assume many of you would as well.

Google Chrome to Phone lets you easily share links, maps, and currently selected phone numbers and text between your computer running Chrome and your phone.

Very handy! When using your computer’s browser, right-click on an image/link & send that link/image to phone. I used it just now to send an .mp3 link of a 101Mb DJ set to my phone – very simple! Very little hassle…
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Biofall:
I think you're asking if it works or if people use it.. Not sure.. But I do, and it works beautifully. I just don't like chrome's incompatibility with xda

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superm1:
If you are having problems with chrome in xda, first try running the browser in porn mode with your extensions off to make sure it's not one of them...

I had a world of troubles using adblock with some sites in chrome, and in the end decided i'd rather deal with ads then try to sort out exceptions for each of those sites.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drmacinyasha:
I use Fox To Phone (Firefox version of Chrome To Phone) and it works beautifully.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoooo:
I've been lurking this forum long enough to know that those who ask redundant questions without searching will be shunned from any helpful answers. Lucky enough I've searched far and wide for an answer to this question. Is there any way to have a dialer that looks....different...much different from the stock dialer? The dialer that comes stock on the phone is so ugly and annoying to navigate in ways that I can't even describe in words. Then I came across the [attached] dialer and couldn't help but wonder HOW it's possible to get a dialer like this or similar to this. So clean looking, so simple...I am a total noob when it comes to android development, but I've done my time in searching for a solution so I wouldn't have to make a topic.

I understand this is from the Enoch theme for an

old

version of Cyanogenmod, but is there any other way to emulate such a dialer?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
You could try installing the AOSP dialer..which is that one you have in the screenie minus the theme...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoooo:
Thank you for this information!!! See, I wasn't even aware this was an AOSP dialer. I just tried to do my own research before asking, and the dots I connected were this dialer was something CM-related.

Okay not to sound like a total noob (even though I am), is it okay if I ask [in this thread], how would one go about installing this AOSP dialer? I'd prefer it over the one that came on the Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kufer:
If I can add to the question.

I am on CM6 and love it, in particular the AOSP dialer.

In case I want 4G, I may change roms.

Is it possible to have the AOSP dialer on a sense rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoooo:
You can't get 4G on CM6? Or root? Or whichever it may be?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kufer:
No 4g on CM6
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:

If your going through HTC directly just return your phone as is. They don't really care about the software if the replacement is due to a hardware issue. I'm not sure if sprint will be as finicky but my guess is they will be about the same.

What I've done is go to a sprint repair center. They tend to be fairly intelligent and generally swap right there.

Why would you get trashed for asking a question like that?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
Some people complain about speed issues when opening apps, opening the market, and other tasks. These lag fixes aim to speed up those I/O issues. If you have no complaints than don't do a lag fix because they all can potentially cause other issues eventually.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leoslick:
If you do the quadrant test on your stock vibrant it will never be over 2000. You would be lucky to get over 1000. If your happy with your speed, stick to it. Wait until you install a bunch of apps or something and your lag is apparent.

If you are happy with your phone, do NOT install a lag fix because it can possibly cause corruption which can dork up some apps. Android 2.2 should be out soon which will be a nice speed improvement.

1.android necessarily be from desare, and not from Nexus.

I finally rooted my htc evo with the help of DjR3Z from the droid demos website and successfully installed Amon Ra recovery on it. Now Im ready for installing cyanogenmod 6. Heres the problem.. I have no idea what Im doing. I did go to cyanogen's website but his tutorial is very vague. Plus he does not give you actual links and steps on what zips or files to download. IM basically asking for a dummies guide to installing cyanogen. Kinda like the recent tutorial to root the htc evo when it got updated to stock android 2.2.

Go into the evo development section and look for the cyanogen mod thread. On the first page there will be a link to the cm6 Rom and a link for Google apps. Download them both. When finished transfer both zips to your SD card. After your done with that boot into recovery and choose flash zip from SD.....(I'm not sure of the exact wording on amon ra bc I've always used clockwork.) Than choose the cm6 zip that you had transferred to your card. After that is done flashing do the same thing with the Google apps zip you had transferred to your card. When that's done flashing reboot and voila u will have cm6.

For new kernel and radios, just do steps 1-8, (for kernels do 12-15), then 16-24.
