[General Questions and Answers] zark0000:
I need a little help understanding IE Mobile (and PIE) versions - and what they mean.

I've searched and browsed and read, but I'm still confused, so I figured I'd ask the largest group of WM experts I know of (perhaps should have started here?).

Anyway...

I know that PIE changed to IEM with WM 6 release.

And I know that prior to 6.1 (maybe 6.5) there was no "Internet Explorer Mobile 6".

However, I keep seeing user agents reporting IEM 7.11, 8.12 and the like - versions which don't exist, and certainly didn't exist pre-IEM 6 release.

So it seems there is a naming mess with PIE and IEM, and IEM 6 isn't JUST IEM 6 but IEM6 v7.11 or IEM6 v8.12 - or what have you.

I've seen WM6.1 ROMs cooked on here with IEM 7.11 - which is impossible if the 7.11 is the same versioning line as the 6 in IEM 6 - so - well that's about it - can anyone explain IEM 6 versions to me?

I know of:

PIE 1.0 (original release PIE)

PIE 1.1 (Second release, and the last PIE to receive version number)

Many undocumented PIE versions up to the release of WM 6 (when they started talking about IEM 6 and changed the name of PIE to IEM) <- maybe this happened at WM 5.0 release??

Then an actual versioned release of IEM in IEM 6 with WM 6.5 release.

Maybe with 6.1 if that Treo 800 actually got IEM 6.

ANY help GREATLY appreciated - even questions about with I'm talking about would probably be helpful.
[General Questions and Answers] zark0000:
Really, no replies?

I know it's confusing, and MS has nerfed the naming over the years, but someone must have made some sense of it right?

K, here's a non MS question too - maybe some random archaic wireless question will kick start the memory banks?

Anyone know what TSS/2.5 is wrt a browser version?

My best guess is it's Teleca Software Solutions, and a version 2.5 browser they cranked out at some point, but i can't find anything definitive on it.

hello, i am using the stock tw launcher,

i have a nice 400 by 840 picture i want to set as wallpaper, but when i choose to set it as a wallpaper it forces me to select a square in the middle, and cuts the top and button parts.

it also, moves the picture with he screens (i want it to stay still)

how do i just set a static 400 by 840 wallpaper?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_bot:
when you select the picture, the square that comes up can be pulled bigger, just like resizing a window. grab the edge, and pull it. as far as making the background not move.....i think there is an app that will let you do that....im not sure.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tempestrs4:
You can use launcher pro from the market to make the wallpaper static. ie not move
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guynaa:
i want to keep using tw launcher, the problem about resizing is that it wont let me choose the whole picture, only a square in the middle!

that's what i am looking to change.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
Unless you use an after-market launcher (such as ADW or LauncherPro) you will not get a static desktop background, it will loop.

As far as only being able to select the middle of your 400x840 picture, it is because the panoramic desktop requires a background to be wider than it is tall. (The specifics for our phone/screen is 960x800) So your portrait image is being cropped to landscape for it to fit properly. Even with resizing as large as you can, your 400x840 image is being cropped to 400x333 and then stretched to match the size of the screen. This is something you cannot change.

The only thing you can do to make it work is to add empty space to the left and right of the image to make it match the correct wallpaper ratio (1.2:1 W:H) and then use an after-market launcher to center the image.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0zone:
Use wallpaper set save or flikie , both from the market... if you use flikie app, then choose your wallpaper in the gallery app then click set as and a pop up appears , click on the flikie icon and that will set the whole picture as your hi res wallpaper .....

since no one seems to understand what you're trying to do besides me, here's the answer

Considering marcan is creating a bootloader for linux in PS3... won't you consider it at least? It would be perfect because the ps3 has not much memory, yet android 2.1 works really well on my g1... with less than the ps3 :)

I hope my post won't bother anyone, if the mods consider that needs to be deleted, please delete it. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] xploder270:
It would have to be a PPC version of Android (its kernel). Since it's open source it would be possible, yes. Don't know about any compilers though (except for the leaked, illegal SDK).
[G1 Android Development] Tsenru:
The PS3's processor is radically different from the processor in your phone, so porting android to it would be nigh impossible and, quite frankly, totally not worth it. RAM isn't the issue, it's the rest of the system that would cause problems.

Also, this is the G1 area, not general android development, so your post is a bit out of place for the kind of feedback you want.
[G1 Android Development] igloo77055:
Not to mention that otherOS has been removed from the ps3 ages ago, and with the psjailbreak patched up it'd be difficult for people to try it out too

[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
I called tmo to see if I could upgrade my wife's phone (we have the family plan). She has had a blackberry for about a year and a half. Well, the guy who answered told me that she was not eligible for a discounted upgrade, but I was! I told him that I have had this phone for less than three months--how could that be?!?! He told me it happens sometimes. He checked again and said, yep, I was eligible for an upgrade. But now it's strange. I just went to wirefly and tmo and tried upgrading my phone and then my wife's phone. On both sites, the upgrade was the same price for both my phone and hers (wirefly was $150 and tmo was $200). So, what's going on here? Am I missing something here?
[Vibrant General] ram130:
I suggest you ask your questions over at the T-Mobile forums.
[Vibrant General] Gooney Gu Gu:
You may need to go into a Tmo store to get the upgrade applied correctly, but I'd recommend calling first and making sure you deal with just one person throughout the process if possible.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Hi..

I've had problems with Gmail and Maps applications previously with Neophyte ROMs. In that case one of the solutions was removing the apks for these apps from with the /system/app folder of the ROM zip.

My question is:

Is it possible to add our own apks to the custom ROM so that these apks come preinstalled on the ROM when someone flashes it..in a manner, a kind of 2nd generation mod?

Is it possible to add our own system variables and settings files so that the ROM autoinstalls it on First Install? In particular, I'd like to preset my own APN file for the network.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
The simple answer is yes.

The entire system folder in the zip file is written to your /system partition, with the full architecture of folders and so on, so any changes made in there will also be on the system, when it is flashed. :)

There is also a script file, in the META-INF folder, which you can use to run commands to delete or edit something along with the flash, whenever the zip file is flashed. This is a bit more advanced though.

edit: it is the same for the data folder of course, which folders is flashed and where to is also specified in the script file mentioned above. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Thank you!

In that case, for installation of a program like Gmail.apk or Maps.apk, would be as simple as adding the .apk to the /system/app, or would I have to include other files? Would there be dependancies in other folders?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Well the apps have their own data folder on the data partition, but this is for storing changes in settings and so on, and it should be created by the app itself on first boot just like right after you wipe the data partition/factory reset :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Thanks..Got some mod modding to do!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
So in case I'd want to manually uninstall/manually install an apk, what would be the steps I'd have to go through?

Would there be filesystem config files (like the older Windows versions), or a central database of entries of the likes of the Registry tables of newer Windows? How does Android go about installing a file? Like which folders and files would be modified other than /system/app and /data/app? Any common files with entries? And in case of the latter, whether it would be machine readable or plain text?

By that I mean, I have read about the different touchscreen hardware that is being used and some claim they are of lower quality. With my current phone I have an epson panel. They newer ones are Nova.? something... I've also heard of them having screen tearing issues when modding them??

Also, is unrevoked the best way to get full root at this point? Does it work with the newest software from sprint or do I have to downgrade?
