Completely agree with Volker. I've used both WinMo and Android, and I'm not going back. I personally feel that Android is much more flexible, especially so because of the open architecture. For the most part, the apps you see in the market will work with most of the modern Android phones. The market itself is a great feature and it's a shame that WinMo didn't really have it. It makes searching for apps really easy, rather than having them floating all over the place and really requiring some searching every now and then for what you might want.

I'm sure you can find equivalent apps to the ones you're looking for, but if you could be a little more specific I'm sure people here would be better able to help you.

And I think WP7 has already been declared a flop in many circles. That's the way it is with their mobile platform, they were too little too late with just not enough put into it to outshine either iOS or Android.

Thanks, I have another concern.

I am a heavy Microsoft Office user. I want all my Outlook calendar, contacts, emails to be in Sync with my phone all the time.

Also, I use Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents a lot on the phone. Will I be able to sync between phone and PC and also compose/modify on the phone? In other words can I have MS Office mobile on Android?

If yes, have you used it? is it reliable/user-friendly?
[General Topics] hungry ghandi:
The default mail program in Froyo will sync mail and contacts with exchange (dun't know 'bout calendar), though I prefer Touchdown from the market (all 3). And OfficeSuite will handle your office needs. Both work fantastic IMHO.

[Q] Best way to merge back the ".apk" and ".odex" files to be 1 ".apk" file

Hey everyone,

I am seeking some help for some way to get the 2 files of .apk and .odex to get back to their original state of only one install-able package .apk file..

I tried the "de-odexing" method of the Android Kitchen, but it didnt seem to be working fine. Error message of "There is a problem prasing the package."

Any other ideas how I can extract a single application from Stock or Customized ROM?

I need this help for building a rom that supports multi languages that comes with Market installed within it and having root access.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
It's the only way. You have to deodex the file. The error message "There is a problem prasing the package" is not a deodex message to the best of my recollection.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar.elhelw:
Sorry I didnt get what you mean completely.

What I have tried: I used kitchen to deodex the files, copied the .apk file to my phone, tried to install it. this error message shows up!

by the way, its the same message that shows if you copy the .apk file without the .obex file to the phone and try to install it..

Any help would be appreciated!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capndoody:
I installed Cog's 2.2 Froyo beta. Working great so far but today i noticed that my external sd card was not readable by the music player... then i realized when i browse to /sdcard/sd it says "directory empty".

Then finally i noticed that it's now mounted as /sdcard/external_sd

Listed like this in /proc/mounts:

/dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0

Does anyone know how to remount this so it shows up as /sdcard/sd so that apps can access the data on the external sd card?

Why is there no mobile theme available for this board?

No.. I dont want to use http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php or similar.

There are many vB boards that have a nice iphone-ish look that can be also used very well on WM touch phones too (I'm using Blackstone myself). And not everyone wants an app (like Android), because one is being stuck with WM or a simple theme change can do the job as well.

I have searched and found the theme. It is available here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=171947

so, my appeal to you admins: this is a mobile board and it needs a mobile skin. thank you!

[Wildfire General] Mariusrapi:
hi my wildpuzzle version is 8.0, but i'm waiting a bit before upgrading to one of the latest.

I'm waiting also because i'd like to know a bit more about overclocking the cpu.

On one hand, i'm sure the phone will be smoother and faster, but on the other hand? Are there any problems, or effect i should be aware of?

One more thing, there is a list with 6 different kernels with oc enabled. How do i choose which one to flash? Which is the best?

thanks in advance :D
[Wildfire General] HOAP:
pro:

your phone will be faster

battery usage during idle is potentially decreased

cons:

your phone might become unstable as the hardware will be running outside of tested specs

battery usage during active usage is increased

The different kernels all have different levels of overclocking. If you try one and your phone becomes unstable (random Force Closes or restart) try and flash it with a slower kernel (lower maximum frequency).

There is no danger of directly harming the hardware in the phone from overclocking. However if the phone is pushed so far it is becoming unstable data corruption might occur.
[Wildfire General] Mariusrapi:
ok that's what i was afraid of.

is this (damaging the hardware) a real possibility? Or is it just in theory?

Than is the phone really faster? I mean, is it worth to overclock the cpu (considering the possible damage of the processor and the various improvement)?
[Wildfire General] HOAP:
Sorry about that...

I missed a "no" in there. I meant to say that your phone will not explode into a ball of fire or otherwise become unusable from overclocking.

If it is pushed to far it will simply hang or crash and need to be rebooted.

I can notice a rather big difference. I mean going from 528Mhz -> 768Mhz. That's almost a 50% speed increase.

If you require a rock solid telephone and do not want to mess with stability then don't over clock. If you on the other hand like experimenting just go ahead and try it.

just remember to make a nandroid backup that you can go back to in case your phone doesn't work properly after installing the new kernel.
[Wildfire General] uniques65:
if we overlocking the wildfire , can i play divs with rockplayer or auther?
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
If I have WPR 8.06 installed and the 0050kernel, is it ok to try installing new kernels to test? And if its unstable, just test a new one? (have a previous nanbackup that I done directly after rooting the phon).

* Do I have to wipe everything, installing the wpr everytime, or just update the kernel without having to do anything else? cheers!
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
The Wildfire temperature will increase greatly in theory.

If the Wildfire hasn't got it in its design to cool that amount then it will damage the phone, same with computers.
[Wildfire General] HOAP:
You can flash kernels back and forth. You don't have to reflash the entire ROM for that. Just make sure you have a working nandroid backup first in case your phone doesn't want to boot.

Yes, in Theory. In practice computer CPUs have temperature monitors that will limit CPU speed to prevent it from rising to high.

In the context of a phone it will be to hot to handle before the temperature becomes high enough to do any critical damage.

Yes, the life time of the electrical circuits will be shortened but a mobile phone will become outdated. Besides the phone is only active for very short periods of time compared to computer.

with a 768mhz speed?.. i dont think it will result to an intense heat that makes the device unusable.. it will make more heat than usual but its tolerable enough..

-- Making some cool theme ieas in the theme section

-- Dessuss the accesories that look good/bad in thee accessories sections

-- Looking for cool new apps (thats always fun)

-- Pass the time catting to fellow HD owners to be in irc (freenode #DesireHD)

-- Reading this thred you probably spent 10-15 seconds reading this you have now gotten 10-15 seconds closer to getting your phones (yay !)

I do Not recomend

-- Refeshing the Realese date threds every three seconds (which i seem to be doing)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazxda:
Can someone explain this to me please:

Activity.getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS, level).

My understanding:

Activity is a class.

getWindow() is a public method of the Activity

setFeatureInt is a public method of the Window class.

So, in Android, is this on-the-fly binding, in that at compile time the target of the setFeatureInt is not known. The target can only be resolved at run time using the return value from getWindow(). Is this a feature of Android or Java? In C, I would expect the analogous syntax to be:

setFeatureInt(Activity.getWindow(),Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS, level);

where the prototype for setFeatureInt would be:

void setFeatureInt(struct *Window; int mFeature; int mLevel);

I've put together a custom compile of busybox and I'm having a bit of trouble. Everything compiles without error (default defconfig with static linking, added some other filesystem utils) except that it isn't properly mapping UID and GID to names. It expects a /etc/passwd to be present. This affects 'ls -l' and, more importantly to me, crontab.

I can do an 'adduser root' and create an /etc/passwd with the appropriate UID, but that isn't how some of the pre-compiled busyboxes work (CM6, etc.).

I'm compiling against the CodeSourcery toolkit.

There's a thread in the busybox mailing list, but the potential fixes there don't work and the thread died in February with no solution. Since there's quite a few busybox implementations out there for android I'm hoping someone can help shed some light on this problem.
