Not exactly sure what adb shell is, but I know how to open the terminal emulator. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Is this the type of thing where I can jack up my phone if I mess up?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Decad3nce:
It can't brick your phone, if that's what you're asking.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
I honestly don't know what I'm asking, but that makes me feel a little better. I just feel like setcpu and autokiller aren't working great, and am looking for an alternative. This seems a tiny bit over my head still. I guess I'll follow the first post and if I run into trouble I'll figure things out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Thanks Deca

Thanks for your help man. I have one other question. Does the number you get back from pidof batt.sh matter? Some have posted high numbers, some are low. Mine was an 87. Just curious.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mrfitz98:
It's just the task number. Every task is given a number, pidof batt.sh just reports the task number if it's in the list, otherwise it's not activated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Thanks. I really appreciate the help.

I run the latest version of Nonsensikal black and every time I install this script I am unable to grant any application root. When I do a su in terminal emulator it says permission denied. Does anybody know why?

Talk to the ROM developer. This can do no such thing. Sounds like a bad application of su/busybox.

[Droid Eris Android Development] rigbyrobot:
try too add the code to survive boot

ok so ive extracted the ram disk from kaos.froyo v35, added the "# Include extra init file so that the battery tweak will function

import /system/etc/init.local.rc" to the init.rc file in the right location for the collins battery tweak to carry over a new boot, now i want to repackage the image so i can share it if it works, i used the Perl scripts found in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443994 to split the boot image and unpack, do i just repack and flash the file to my phone or will this be a destructive update? i really only want the file to add the one line to the init.rc file and not be a full reflash of the rom. dose anyone know how i would go about doing this or throw me a link to a way to make an update.zip file instead of having to reflash the full rom, ive search myself but google isnt too much help and the xda search just redirects me to a page saying the forums are over capacity and try again later thanx
[Droid Eris Android Development] Decad3nce:
Make sure you add the base address argument; if you don't know where it is, look in the devices board files usually set as .boot_params which in the eris' case is .boot_params = 0x11200100

Thusly it would be something like:

./mkbootimg --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk newramdisk.gz --cmdline "no_console_suspend=1 console=null" -o newboot.img --base 0x11200100
[G2 and Desire Z General] skulk3r:
So what do people think now? I am personally swayed to buy the Desire Z, but I would like to see what other people think.

Having watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly4C0TXmnlQ, I am pretty impressed by htcsense.com (for the off days that I forget my phone!). The maps app isn't really that smooth...the demo showed it being quite laggy on the Desire HD.

Build quality is great, performance seems smooth, keyboard looks fantastic (no numbers row though =[ ) and the screen looks crisp.

edit: maybe I should have also posted on the Desire HD forum! =P
[G2 and Desire Z General] blaze7810:
Bye windows hello android

well im selling my TP2 no more windows for me and putting the rest with my pocket as well for the desire Z. i had doubts but after listening to that guy brag how the phone is... im sold. lol. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] coolwater22:
i also have a TP2,but i am going to keep it,however i want this phone, i looks sexy and thin, and it has htc sense :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] skulk3r:
i've been fed up with windows mobile for about a year now with my HTC Blackstone...it's simply too old and dated an OS. And WinPho & is simply too locked down and not as flexible as I'd like it to be (I'm so sick of those tiles!).

Android looks like the way to me...and *if* I do want to load up my phone with something bloated and pretty, then I will use the HTC Sense bundled in with that phone...which is tons better than the HTC Sense on Windows Mobile.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
The Desire Z looked great to me. Perfect size, build quality is on point, gorgeous keyboard, and very fast. I hope the G2 is the same color as the Desire Z, the G2 looks a bit lighter from the renders on T-Mobile's site.

The Desire HD was a bit of a let down to me. First off, it's not HD. A 4.3 inch screen needs a better resolution than 800x480. The colors on the screen look incredibly washed out compared to the Desire Z. Also is it true that the HD only has a 1250mAh battery?! :confused:

Can't wait to get the G2. Goodbye Vibrant. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] blaze7810:
i couldnt agree more. im done with the freezeing and sluggish UI. wp7 is prolly good but its not going to be on my tp2 so i have no reason to keep it. do u know for blackstone if it will be surpported?
[G2 and Desire Z General] GreenGuava:
Looks like HTC have pulled that video off their Youtube account. I wonder why :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Untouchab1e:
I am eager to see how the MSM7230 800MHz performs compared to the 1GHz Snapdragon that sits in my Nexus currently. But I already know I will be pre-ordering the Desire Z ASAP. I have been waiting for a high-end qwerty Android phone from HTC for so long. Cant believe its finally here, and its *almost* everything I wanted..

I am a bit annoyed at HTC though, because they have a tendency to do this. The Desire HD has a great unibody construction which gives the phone that extreme high-end feel to it, while the Desire Z is left with a combination of aluminium and plastic finish. Why, I don't know. Also wish they would have put some aluminium love on the keyboard as well, but at least the keyboard looks good otherwise.

Those are probably my only concerns regarding the Desire Z (that, and the lame name). I hope the Z mechanism lasts as well though and wont get sluggish over time.

Anyway, its as close to perfect for me as any other phone has ever been so Im picking it up anyways. Just wish HTC would stop holding back when launching new phones. If the MSM7230 800MHz performs well then Im relieved, but if not then I will be mad at HTC for not going for the 1GHz version instead. The MSM7230 has the Adeno 205 GPU, but since Android doesn't support GPU acceleration I guess we wont get much joy from it.

Now Im just waiting for pre-orders here to show up!
[G2 and Desire Z General] j.books:
is GPU acceleration something that modders can address? also, I'm curious what the GPU does when its not being utilized for acceleration. isn't the very definition of a GPU that its a graphics accelerator? is it that Android uses it for some things like games and video, but not others, like scrolling and webpage rendering?

also, rumor has it that Android 3.0 will implement graphics acceleration, so for a good portion of the time you have your G2 you should enjoy said acceleration (for the record, yes I believe the G2 will be definitely be upgradeable to Gingerbread)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Haha same here. This is the qwerty device I've been waiting for!

After I watched the videos I actually got the impression the Desire Z had better build quality than the Desire HD did. I didn't see any brushed aluminum on the HD but it's all over the Z. Reporters even said that most of the Desire Z is made of metal (aluminum) and looks amazing. The HD looked just like the Evo 4G to me, which feels sturdy in hand, but doesn't have that fancy brushed aluminum finish to it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Untouchab1e:
Well, regardless of what you think you see, the HD is unibody (meaning its body is made out of one piece of aluminium) and the front is largely made out of glass...

Of course Im basing all this on what Ive heard and seen rather than my personal experience as I havent touched any of these yet. The Desire Z is made out of aluminium and plastic, while the z-hinge is supposedly made out of some sort of metal.. according to a HTC spokesperson, some kind of strong alloy. So at least it seems they have done a good job with that mechanism which is great news, as the Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2 tends to get jerky after a while!
[G2 and Desire Z General] jstrom23:
I am basically sold on the G2 at this point. I have been a loyal Verizon customer for over 6 years. A year ago I never would have thought of leaving...but in the last 6 months, I have been running all the Donut/Eclair/Froyo builds on my aging HTC Vogue (KUDOS to DZO, Myn, Incubus26jc and the whole Android Vogue group, their work is amazing) and even an imperfect Donut is better than WinMo. Running their modded ROMS has sold me on stock Android.

Not at all interested in WinPho 7...it looks lame and locked up. I was going to stick with Verizon, but kluging Bing on the Fascinate was the last straw. Any carrier that would do that does not care about Android at all...or their customers. Sense is the only UI I'd consider using...but even Sense is losing steam. Gingerbread is going to blow it away, I think.

At any rate...Tmo seems the only carrier interested in delivering the pure Android experience. They have better plans...and this new phone is going to be amazing, with lots of dev support.

I'm sold...goodbye Verizon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kylez64:
If you think about it the new sense w/landscape is already developed for Desire Z so it should be a quick port and we would have the new sense and stock. I like to switch back and forth and the keyboard and HSPA+ are very tempting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] makoute:
My thoughts after the announcement is I want an HTC Desire HD.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Good choice. The G2 is definitely going to bring attention to T-Mobile. I think people are getting tired of all these Touchwiz/Motorblur phones and want Stock android. Like you said it seems that only T-Mobile cares about this. Verizon only cares about money and exploits Android to fill their pockets.
[G2 and Desire Z General] j.books:
lol well, make no mistake, t-mobile cares just as much about making money as verizon does. they're just trying to carve out a niche in the market for "with google." that's their selling point for the G2. verizon's selling point is their network, which I think we can all agree is the best (in terms of coverage). they don't need to exploit a niche market because they're super mainstream, so they have the luxury of adding even more to their bottom line by making deals with companies like microsoft, i.e. the Bing deal
[G2 and Desire Z General] skulk3r:
seems that the Desire Z and HD haven't won over everybody...but it is still quite popular (this is the Desire Z forum afterall)...I was thinking of buying it on the play.com website...but does anyone know if they do free shipping to Australia?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Sucks for them. Those people won't be happy until the first dual-core 1.5Ghz phone with 400ppi and built in toaster gets announced. Even though they could not use that kind of speed...

Why don't you go on their website and see? ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
don't be to sure of verizon's network being that great - a) the more users on a network, the slower the network and that is the down side to verizon's network - they sell that network too well. But b) as far as coverage, don't underestimate Tmo's network or partnership carriers. Every year i travel with a couple of partner company reps to visit suppliers & clients in upstate Vermont (2 miles south of the canadian border), northwest texas, new mexico & oklahoma. One is with verizon & the other on AT&T (yeah i know AT&T is weak), but whenever we're somewhere rural, the verizon phone drops all bars while my tmo still has 1-2 - leaving Derby, VT and heading south, we're talking a 90 - 100 mile stretch that's pretty desolate going into low foothills - but the last time, my verizon buddy had to use my phone to finish a 20 minute call.

we've gone thru this 3 years running, whether we're in VT, New Mex, Tx or Oklahoma and every year he comments he needs to look at Tmo for his company. While Tmo may not own the entire network, they've been smart in partnering with a lot of the small carriers.

[General Questions and Answers] randyrubb:
Hello, as an european I do not have that problem. But us americans are beleive they have to tell his provider the Phonemodell. backwards the provider is spy what phone you are using, IMEI might help. But i think there are more ways how the provider spy on you in see what device you are using.

Is this only through the Internet browser ? or does anyone else how to lock them out for this spy-

IMEI i never use a provider branded Phone so no record

Browser: there must be a tool who hide the phone modell there (ok some browsing experience might be worse)

anything else ?

Thanks

I would love use ADW launcher but I can't access the factory widgets on my Samsung Galaxy S (Sprint Epic 4G). Does anyone know how to access them through ADW launcher? A couple of examples are, Buddies Now and Feed and Updates. Thanks
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Unfortunately, there is no way (as of yet, possibly never). Samsung has tied the widgets to their launcher only.

wow, thats some bull**** their.

[Android Themes] gtg465x:
It's not just Samsung. Can't use HTC widgets with third party launchers either.
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
HTc does the same with the Sense widgets and I'm 60% sure Moto does the same with the Blur widgets. It's not uncommon unfortunate
[Android Themes] h_zee13:
i was able to install the LG widgets without the need of the launcher....do you think someone can rip the widgets off the samsung or htc phones and install it without the launcher?
[Android Themes] AnderWeb:
Lg made standard android widgets, good guys.

Motorola made "almost standard" widgets, almost good guys.

Samsung/htc/launcher pro made "non widgets", but little pieces of code that you can add to their respective home apps. If they doesn't appear inside the pick widget list (that's generated by android system) they are not "android widgets". No more discussion :(

[XPERIA X10 General] crh8:
Hello everyone,

I've only had the X10 for about a week. Everything was working fine. However, I'm starting to have issues with the three menu buttons at the bottom. I will power up my phone, and the buttons will work for about 5 minutes. Then the two LED lights between the buttons will just randomly shine one time (even though I did not press a key) and go off. Once they go off, and I try to press a key, nothing works. The LEDs don't come on, and none of the buttons work. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Like I said, this just started happening to me today. I really would appreciate any help, as I can't really use my phone right now in its current state! Thanks!

[XPERIA X10 General] Findee:
I would say try restoring your firmware and if that doesn't work then take it back and have it replaced!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] crh8:
Hey Findee,

Thanks for the suggestion. Can you tell me how I would go about restoring the firmware? I'm a little new with this.

Also, for what it's worth, this is an X10a (from at&t).
[XPERIA X10 General] Findee:
Yeah no worries :)

Install SEUS which should have come on the SD card and then hit Start under Support Zone then Software Update. Then just hit repair :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h_22_accord:
Anyone test out the new i9000 jph froyo firmware on the captivate? Does it still have the same bugs as the previous versions. Sound inverted, no auto rotation, and no home button...im assuming these problems still exsist due to no 2.2 captivate kernal released yet. Just wondered if anyone has tested the new firmware out yet.
[XPERIA X10 General] PhoneConnect247:
And for those that own one. Should I get it? I have a HD2 with android on it but my girl has a mytouch 3g and she wants to upgrade
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Yes, the X10i international version has AWS T-Mobile bands.

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x10-2964.php

IF you can get one for a really good price, then buy it. HOWEVER, anywhere near the Samsung Vibrant's price, and you're much better off with it, IMO.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
I moved from HD2 myself because of the X10 design but that doesn't apply to everone. If I were you, I would go to Sony store or ATT store and would try it.

HD2 has a bigger screen than both Vibrant and X10 and HD2 screen is fairly nice but I can't find any relationship with the phone itself because of being really big and flat and has no design.

If you had Froyo on HD2 then you may not like the 2.1 on X10 which comes out in about a week to a month.

All in all, I am happy that I moved to SE ultimate designed phone.

Good Luck ;)

Ok so i finally have full root on my garminfone.

but i cant find the recovery.img on the phone anywhere.in the init file it should be in the data/etc folder but i dont see it there.

is this stored in a hidden directory or something?

how can i find this and the hidden/ or any unmounted drives. i want too keep a copy of the factory recovery.img in a safe place..

how do i go about showing all directories?

According to this guy, wp7 will have tethering. Although it seems odd that MS can make what seems to be a carrier's decision. So I take it with a grain of salt, but kudos if it's true.

As an aside, since I just setup ie9 public beta, I'm wondering if they have already started making PIE9.
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
Well we have usb tethering on our phones now & arent paying extra, i think they are gonna have it built in the software where the carriers wont be able to detect it charge more for it anyway

Although im gonna wait for something official from MS to really think thats its gonna be there, i hope the carriers arent gonna go around MS and just charge a required wp7 data plan thats higher then regular
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
seems like he's retracting what he said.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cseven:
Listening to the latest Windows Weekly (# 174), at around 01:05:30 tethering pretty much gets confirmed by a Microsoft guy.

But he sounded kind of confused at that point, so who knows?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
I doubt it. Not because there won't be tethering apps (there wil), but because trying to wrangle free tethering out of ALL the carriers is just not going to happen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
Looks like tethering is a go!

Yeah but up to carriers to enable it... I hope sprint does

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevrocks:
I have two Captivates in my hands right now. One is a replacement.

I turned them both on and placed them side by side. I displayed a white background on both phones. I noticed that the new replacement has a more red color balance, and my original is more blue.

I personally prefer the more blue color on my original, but I got a replacement for obvious reasons.

How is the color balance like for your Captivate? I want to see if my replacement has a defective color balance or if it's normal to see variance from phone to phone.

Recently, I encountered a problem in my trinity. For unknown reason, I cannot play audio through the phone speaker after bootup.

1) When I power on the phone, WM startup sound play fine.

2) However, after bootup, no sound can be played thru phone's speaker (music, alert etc)

3) Audio can be played/heard thru the earphone.

4) Flashed to several cooked and official rom, and all exhibit the same problem.

5) Yesterday, by chance, I discovered that i can managed to play through the speaker when connected to PC/charger.

It seems like a battery problem, but the present battery is still good, providing >2days of usage. Need advice to confirm this, before I proceed to get a replacement.

Thank in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
With the official 2.2 release due out very soon...

Who else is pissed off a little that Samsung are still behind the ball even after having access to the genius works on XDA?

The latest FroYo is not looking amazingly remarkable, they had a slow start releasing a very flawed 2.1 when boxed when first shipped out, just to beat the evo/iphone4 market.

In australia samsung without reason gave $50 cheques to the first 1000 people to send them their IMIE, nobody is sure why, maybe because they have let us down?

Since I got my device the score is XDA 7 - SAMSUNG 0

Seriously considering the new desire hd..

For XDA to come up with more help/answers/fixes than the company that made the device, it really is poor form.

I know it is a good hardware device, but this thread is a straight up punch back in the nose to Samsung for not making the effort in hiring several people on XDA who have helped us more than Samdung have.

They have had enough time, in three weeks if samsung have not put an offical lagfix/or acknowledge it formally, put out a 2.2 that works very well, or GPS fix for EVERYONES devices. Then this thread will grow and grow with unhappy people who bought this phone.

Rant over.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pharaohdk:
not everyone is having laf even after 100+ applications installed.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] decepticon:
Maybe to encourage sales and generate word of mouth? That's standard product promotion right there.

I knew prior to buying the Galaxy S that Samsung is never the best with firmware updates and have broken promises for the Galaxy regarding a 2.1 update, that said I bought it knowing the good folks here would be of assistance and keep us up to date for a while.
