[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MotoMudder77:
Im trying to find info or better yet a tutorial on how to mainly "port" android, say from a CM nightly over to HD2. I have a bit of experience with coding older motorola phones, so I believe I have the capabilities of learning such a process.

I have read the threads about linux on HD2, and read up on the links that are in it. thats mainly about kernals. nothing about taking an already developed android ROM and making it work w/HD2.

Is there any info that I can read up on, or if anyone wants to give me some info it would be greatly appreciated.

I today receiver my T-mobile G2 from USA, i obtained an unlocking code for sim card lock and the phone opens now. But it cannon search for networks and i cannot register to any network. When i put the enclosed sim card of T-mobile it searches and finds all greek networks. But with my card all i get is error... I also noticed that when i configure a new apn the MCC and MNC codes arent filled automatically as they should be. Even when i manually entered them (MCC 202 and MNC 05 for GR Cosmote) and saved it, i could not found it on the list. So i think the problem is it cannot read properly the MCC MNC codes from sim card
[G2 and Desire Z General] gpou:
Update

After entering the unlocking code when i tried the tmo card it also cannot find any nettworks. When i go to hboot and choose simlock i get error message:

FAT32 init ok

Open MCCMNC file fail

Open CID file fail

I just switched back to sense using the Desire HD rom. but I'm remembering the biggest thing i hate about sense: swiping up and down on incoming calls. Obviously I keep my phone in my pocket and locked most of the time, so getting a call and pulling my phone from my pocket answers or declines the call for me depending on which way its sitting in there. why htc decided to use this, I dont know but it sucks.

My question would be: has someone figured out how to change this to the standard form of answering/rejecting calls? Even the galaxy s phones uses vanilla style but we get the crap up and down bar.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ang3lmack:
Use a root explorer program and delete the htc lockscreen, under it is the vanilla one, the one where you slide left and right
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
I tried that on all the standard sense roms and that only changed the lockscreen for me, but not the incoming calls. also, on the Desire HD rom, I can't even delete the apk because it causes bootloops for some reason.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Deleting the lockscreen apk has no bearing on the phone apk.

To answer the OP, there is currently no way to disable the slide to answer function that I am aware of as this question has come up repeatedly in the dev forum. Deleting the phone apk causes some fairly significant issues, as you can imagine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
yea I thought so. I figured it would have to do with phone apk calling up the function from android.policy or services.jar wasn't sure if anyone knew how to change it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
This is the reason I will never consider switching back to any Sense based rom. I have accidently answered/declined a call more times than I can remember. Thank god the rebooting issue was figured out for the AOSP roms.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniattico:
Hi!

Can you teld us If you do the change of the incoming calls screen sucessfully??

I need it too :rolleyes:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Search for No Lock or Easy Answer Button in the market. Either app should provide a suitable workaround.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniattico:
I don't understand the workaround with No Lock. This application in not to unlock the device with a button?

I've installed Easy Answer Button. It doesn't work perfectly, and I have the same problem: the case answer or cancel randomly a incoming call :(

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spooner59:
Same for me i need to change this method of answer call , i've tested Easy answer button , tedd droid tools but it's really what i want.

I want to slide on the left or on the right in order to answer or reject a call.

Someone can help me please ?

Edit: I've found what i want with cyanogen mod , it's perfect now .
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slavichok:
That was my big problem with slide way answering a call too, but it's not anymore due to SimplyLock app that I found in market.

Hope it will help all guys who ran into the same problem.

Hi all,

I have purchased a samsung galaxy vibrant from a USA seller and I live in the UK. The phone will come with no sim. I want to be able to use it in the UK on the vodafone network.

Can anyone advise me please on how best to deal with this situation - I am android challenged so please be gentle. I have done some searches but didnt see any answer to this specific type question.

I am not sure if T-Mobile Samsung is sim locked but am assuming it is but maybe you guys n gals may be able to advise me more on this.

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0080:
If its from a tmobile store it will be locked. Expansys and other online retailers are selling them unlocked meaning they're prob unlocking them prior. You would need the code. The codes are also stored on the phone in the nv_data.bin but you need root to access it that way. There's a market app to get the unlock code but that prob won't help you. Best way would be to root, copy the nv_data.bin to your pc and use the windows utility to get the code. Then the phone will prompt for the code with your sim inserted. Hopefully they already unlocked it. Search the forum for the unlock procedures, they are well documented.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandalf72:
Thanks for the reply I really appreciate your help on this. Person I bought it from has just contacted me to say that they got it from T-mobile themselves in a 2-1 promotion.

They said "I bought the phone from Tmobile without a sim card. The associate told me that you can unlock this one with an unlock code".

Sorry for such a noob question ... When I get the phone will it be able to be root the phone with no T-mobile phone sim card in it? Can it be rooted with any sim card or no sim card?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the noan:
been using handcent for the past couple months. i know how to turn the notifications off of the stock sms app so that handcent would be the only messaging app that would give me notifications. recently the stock sms app has been shooting out the notifications so i turn them off but i keep getting the notifications from it. has anyone run into this problem??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
Have you tried force closing the stock messaging app? Try that and if you can, clear the default, then go to your people/contact app and select "send text message" at that point, it should ask you which one you want to use by default, select handcent...and we'll see where it goes from there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the noan:
thanks but i just tried that and it changed nothing. one thing i noticed is when i force closed the messaging app it took me to the adw launcher. im using launcherpro plus as my default home. whenever i force close anything it takes me to adw. this happened to me last night after i downloaded some apps from the applanet app so i did a nandroid restore this morning to go back to a few days ago. again i went to the applanet market and downloaded a couple apps. im not sure if its the applanet itself or if its something i got off there that would change the messaging app settings

I'm not a dev btw, just curious, sorry about bringing your hopes up :P

I searched some here as well as elsewhere, because I've read somewhere, a while ago something about changing the designated IP adress of the phone.

It sounds to me your router is try to give the phones the same IP. You could check the router for that. I'd first try and give each MAC adress a designated IP (a different one ofc).

Damn, I'm sure there's a post somewhere here about this, just can't find it...

Just found this:

In short: it's the MAC adress which is the same on the phones. You could try different build, but start with the mentioned thread first :)

hi

are u have that file for fixing mac address?

if u have it upload here .that link have problem
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cma1032:
To do this, you need superuser app and terminal. You also need to know your true wireless mac address.

1) open terminal and type su

2) type ifconfig eth0 hw ether [mac address]

This should change your mac address, but you have to do this every time you reboot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] h4mid:
by this way can i change mac address from 00:90:4c:c5:00:34 to 00:11:22:33:44:55 ?

and i do that and any happening?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cma1032:
If you return it back to 00:11:22:33:44:55 will return that mac address. If there's 2 people with hd2 and an android rom will encounter a conflict because both will have 00:11:22:33:44:55.

Thanks for that cma. Is it possible to make this into a script which could then perhaps be run at startup?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cma1032:
I don't know how this could be done at startup because you need wifi activated first before running it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
We all know that running "adb shell" from the command line is pretty crap, and when using a latter busybox version which has coloring support it's ultimately crap. One workaround was usually to start a telnet server on the phone, and use putty to connect to that telnet server. Actually there is a more easier way to do that which also works for non rooted phones.

Actually the Android Debug Bridge has a terminal connection feature (roughly speaking), which will be enabled after you connect to the adb server in "0006shell:" mode. You can actually use the putty to connect to this interface always, by setting the following things:

- Turn off line discipline in settings

- Use RAW mode to connect to localhost:5037

- Enter "0012host:transport-usb" (without quotes)

- Enter "0006shell:" (without quotes)

Now you've got a full fledged connection to your device. The main drawback is that it's tedious to repeat the above all the time, so I've made some modifications to the putty binary that adds a new type of connection, called "Adb"

To use the enhanced putty (via USB):

- Select Adb from the connection type list

- Enter "transport-usb" in the host (or any other connection string, check the adb socket interface documentation if you need something else than connecting via usb)

- Enter 5037 as port, if it's not already set there.

- Connect and enjoy (you might also save this connection, so next time you only have to double-click on the settings)

To use this via wireless adb:

- Connect to wireless adb using a command shell: "adb connect IP:PORT" (substitute ip and port for the real values)

- Enter "transport-any" in the host

- Enter 5037 as port if it's not already set there

- Connect and enjoy

To use this via the android emulator:

- Enter "transport-local" in the host. Everything else is the same

If you have multiple devices (for example multiple devices connected to usb and/or wileressly)

- Enter "transport:serial-number" in the host, where you substitute "serial-number" with the serial of the device you get by using "adb devices". Everything else is the same.

EDIT: wow!!! i removed one of my devices and connected to it now!! ctrl-U now works!!!! THANK YOU!!!

EDIT2: quick question. if i use a normal putty, where to type in 0012transport-usb and 0006shell: ? i typed them in the term but it closed after 0006shell
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Thanks. It works, but any idea how to get the up and down arrow keys to work on Putty? They work on the windows adb shell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
The complete specification is here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...T;hb=f41986bbc79055a4feed7266cac5c1b540296daf

This is what you can use:

- transport-any (either usb or local emulator)

- transport-usb (the only usb device)

- transport-local (the only emulator)

- transport:SERIALNUMBER (the concrete device with the appropriate serial number)

so in your case you have to use the latter.

For the second question, you need to ensure that all of the things are present:

- You are using RAW mode (connecting to localhost:5037)

- Line discipline is on "Force OFF" (in the terminal settings dialog)

- You make some pause between writing the two commands

- You don't press enter/backspace or any other key while entering the commands (the easiest way is to write the commands in eg. notepad, copy them, and paste them into putty by pressing ****+RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
The up and down arrow keys were actually handled by cmd.exe, which is non existent in putty. Instead it's now the responsibility of the shell to do the hard work. The included sh in the phone's sotfware (toolbox sh) is mostly useless here, but if you have busybox installed, you might want to run "busybox sh" after connecting (some rooted phones have busybox's sh as default, on them it should work out of the box).

Busybox's sh can not only handle the up and down arrows, but other things like tab completion works too.

ADB over wireless ?

Hi, thanks for your great work :)

I'm using ADB Wireless

The first step is to connect first with

adb.exe connect 192.168.6.14:5555

And then the standard procedure

Is it possible for you to include these two phases directly inside Putty ?

So we just have to enter the IP address of the phone and here we go :)

PS : to disconnect, we have to do

adb.exe disconnect 192.168.6.14:5555

but that's not an obligation
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
seems to be a windows/putty problem because adb shell works wonderful on ubuntu with the default shell ... ;)

here is the explanation how to set it up (cyanogenmod wiki):

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Connect_to_Device_with_SSH

basically you have to create the keys on your pc and copy them onto the device. then you can connect via key-auth. if you want dropbear to autostart @boot you could add it to playlogos1 ...

and here are the binary's you need (including the missing dropbear-keygen) and a bash binary:

http://www.multiupload.com/B0L9FDQHPB

bash is optional of course but it's very nice to have tab-completion and the other improvements bash offers over sh. to replace sh with bash do the following:

cp bash /system/bin/
chmod 0755 /system/bin/bash
mv /system/bin/sh /system/bin/sh_OLD
ln -s /system/bin/bash /system/bin/sh

the chmod is really important. i forgot it once and then was unable to get shell access even over adb. was a pain in the ass to fix it again :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
You seem to miss the point of this development. First, your method is mentioned as one of the possible workarounds in the first post. Second you need to have some kind of telnet/ssh server running on the phone, which you don't need, if using adb.

Meanwhile you don't even need a rooted phone or busybox or anything to get this thing working.

The main problem with adb shell under windows, that it uses the standard cmd.exe to run, and uses the standard cmd.exe's "readline" support, which only supports the up and down keys for history (and even that it only supports that within one session).

Putty is mainly the only good (xterm compatible) terminal emulator for windows (msys's or cygwin's rxvt is good too, but "adb shell" was programmed in a way that makes it kinda useless under rxvt too). There are two ways to fix this. One is to make adb.exe more comptible with rxvt, the other is to skip adb.exe entirelly and communicate with the adb server without it. This project utilises the latter.
