Here you go:

Delete with your favorite method this 2 files:

/data/app/novoda.se.studiVZ.zip

/data/app-private/novoda.se.studiVZ.apk

And then VZnet is gone. It's the german timescape plugin for the social network StudiVZ.

[Streak 5 General] som3331:
Hello,

I was wondering myself if its possible the run the dell streak forced to portrait mode. Do you know any possibility to do that? When you turn off autorotation, the streak is always in landscape...

Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english,

Mehmet
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Use adw.launcher and select persistant mode.
[Streak 5 General] zwuncki:
I use the latest ADW Launcher EX with StreakDroid 1.8.1 and the "Only Portrait" mode doesn't work. It stays in landscape mode when enabled.

ADW Launcher bug?

And is it possible to put the whole Streak (not only ADW) in portrait mode?
[Streak 5 General] rm001:
On 1.8.1 I could do it ONLY with LauncherPro. Both built-in launcher and ADW don`t rotate to Portrait.
[Streak 5 General] zwuncki:
ADW Launcher EX does it, but only when set to "Auto Rotate" ... Not in "only portrait" ...
[Streak 5 General] maxicet:
Use "go launcher ex" and uncheck rotation, it works fine for me
[Streak 5 General] zwuncki:
I don't wanna use another launcher. :(
[Streak 5 General] mrmarco:
does the streak remain ALWAYS, with all applications, in portrait mode?
[Streak 5 General] Revin:
No, of course not. It is just for launcher, not for the whole system.

I too want to use my Dell portrait only. I tried landscape, but the system just don't use it, I mean it will be useful if for example messages looks like on iPad (on left list of messages, on right preview), but how it is right now, you just see less information with landscape. Plus holding it with one hand in landscape is bit hazard for me (in public transport). I hope somebody will find solution.

And, no, really, unchecking the automatic rotation of screen when having it in portrait doesn't work. It works with other Android devices but not for Dell Streak (for no reason).
[Streak 5 General] mcjacob:
Hi,

I've been seeing the forum threads for portrait mode on the Dell Streak but all have just options for the launcher reorientation.

I have currently locked the system to landscape only since its extremely bothersome when the system is on auto rotate and it rotates by 180 degrees. However even with this, there are apps like Astrid tasks, etc which have some of their screens in portrait - which is a bit irritating...

With the landscape mode its not possible to try an operate the device with one hand. In the portrait mode it is a bit more easier to reach with the thumb across the screen to the opposite side corners and by sliding the hand down the entire screen can be accessed with a single hand when you have to.

Is there some mode where the full system can be made completely in portrait? Of course its understandable that select apps like Klondike, etc will run only on their default landscape mode but is there nothing that can be done for the rest of the system? Something that can probably just be included as a command in the install.txt file for Streakdroid packages perhaps?

I run Streakdroid 1.9.0 and love the new Stage UI. Not particularly impressed with ADW or LauncherPro.

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] Seanc13:
I've heard, and read that Froyo is out for the Epic?

Is this true? if so has anyone tried it out yet?
[Epic 4G General] illogic6:
It's been given to Sprint at this point. Not the user. Also, this is definitely the wrong sub-section for this post.
[Epic 4G General] igotsthemagicinme:
Before this gets moved, I have a question...when froyo is released, will we have to reroot it? I'm coming from the evo, and you don't notice the difference between 2.1 and 2.2 until youv had the later and suddenly snap back. Like sand in a open wound :-(
[Epic 4G General] illogic6:
As long as you don't accept an OTA, you shouldn't have to re-root.

What we could really use is a leak.

[Epic 4G General] hotwired34:
I remember reading somewhere that in 2.2, the stock dialer must be used. Does this mean that the Epic's dialer would not be there? I have seen the dialer that comes with a vanilla 2.2 and the Epic's dialer is so much better. I hope this is not the case.
[Epic 4G General] illogic6:
Probably not going to be the case being the the EVO still has the sense dialer on 2.2.

[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
you are the man Conap ...currently running your 3.2froyo, which BTW is smooth as heck....what I hate the most about froyo is there A2sd setup ....and you have just solved that problem
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Well if you or anyone else that has windows test's this can someone report if you can access both fat32 partitions when you mount the phone in windows....
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
I'll be trying this ish later. Superb work conap. I'm on windows, I'll let you know how it goes as well
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm undecided if I'll try this, but if I do it'll probably more to see how it works under Windows than to use it myself.

I wish the best of both worlds, being able to have Widget apps installed to SD card, but not have separate partitions, and still be able to specify applications I want to remain in the phone memory, for speed.

No matter what, though, beautiful! Thanks for writing up the instructions!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
I agree it would be nice to have the option to move specific apps back to the phone. But I have seen alot of people that prefer this way so I thought i'd write this up. I actually needed partitions for other things which is why I was looking into it anyway. I now have 8 partitions on my sd card and everything still functions correctly. I did find that Froyo would read the last partition on the sd card up untill 7 partitions. When I added an 8th partition it still looked at partition 7. In case any one was interested in more partitions just make sure the fat32 is last partition untill you have more then 7 leave 7 as fat32.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Do you have a 16GB or larger card? Wow! :)

Very interesting information, thank you!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
nope just stock 8gb...mostly small partitions for testing some ideas lol...i did find that the phone does not mount any more then 7 partitions(kernel limitation maybe) You can have more then 7 if you are useing your card for things other then the phone but for phone purposes 7 is the limit.

How do I plug my phone into my computer? :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] ykhehra1:
need help!!

Hi I accidently run the 'makeboot' from gparted iso on my windows Vista 32bit HDD, before I read it will damage windows boot and can only run it on SD card.

Now I have not restarted my laptop, to loose every thing, I need help to correct it!

Please guide my, what are my options.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh, okay! Nosey people (me) want to know. Hehehe.

You're messing with me, right? The USB cable that came with your phone, that you can also charge your phone with???
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You'll probably have to boot your Vista 32-bit installation DVD and run a Startup Repair. Or if the computer came with a recovery DVD that you hopefully burned after booting up the computer the first time, use that.

If you don't have any easier option, you can download Startup Repair-only burnable disc images from the EasyBCD website. Just google for it. Make sure and download the correct one (Vista 32-bit), and then you'll have to burn it to a CD and boot from it. Hopefully you're computer doesn't have any SATA or RAID setup that Vista doesn't include the drivers for, otherwise you'll have to download those and put them on a flash drive, and then you can load them from the Vista repair CD.

Good luck.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
There is no makeboot option on gparted in linux that i can see...if you think you have messed up the boot partition of your pc don't restart it till you fix it. Google should be your best friend on that one. I don't use windows so can't be of any help to you there....
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
LMAO

What's a usb cable... is it that black thing with a square end?? ;) :D :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] ykhehra1:

Are you able to get both FAT32 partitions (partition 1 for ROMs and other flashes, partition 4 for everything else) mounted with drive letters under Windows?
[Droid Eris Android Development] asilentcivilian:
is there an advantage to doing this? i'm just curious
[Droid Eris Android Development] asilentcivilian:
nevermind, i found the 2.1 dark tremor thread. i assume the same results apply to froyo with this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
some people just prefer this way. this way actually stores the whole apk on the phone and save's more room then froyo. plus you can mount your sd card while still using your apps. I did this mainly cause I wan't partitions for other things on my phone personally. It just happens that it helps the apps2sd issue too...
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
I think I've updated my phone with something called Kies mini... I am trying to check my location with the gps but it aint even close to where I live!!! :mad:

Everyone talks about how satellites has their gps locked on to but I have no idea how to see that... with gps test.

HELP PLEASE! It has been always showing the same location doesnt matter which city I'm on! (before the update too)...

I think once I have tested this gps fix that was around, but then I went back to normal settings (i guess)... cause it didnt work

Now it it says that I have ECLAIR.UVJI6

I am new to all this :(
[Vibrant General] tenchi-kun:
Search the market for an app called "GPS Test". It will show you all of the information you're looking for.
[Vibrant General] cwoodworth:
Well, I'm still having GPS difficulties with the newest update (Running Bionix 1.9).

ECLAIR.UVJI6 is the newest update, so don't worry about that.
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
At least I have the right update :/

I have GPS Test and GPS Status... The first one doest even move at all when I start the application and the second one on the bottom show it seems that is loading something forever. Where do I see the sats? Have no idea. From the second one I will guess that it could be that part that says "fix/sats" and right now is saying 0/2.

My goodness... The damn gps would so useful to stop loosing myself on the German streets :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Nothing that I can do to fix it? Is there any news about if this is the last official fix for the gps?
[Vibrant General] DreamcastDC:
My GPS was working great when I first odin JI6, now all of the sudden it just stop working, I try to odin it back to JI6 again and it still doesnt work so well.
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
I'm testing the GPS out right now. I've had the phone since wednesday, tried google maps and it's never been able to get my location. I just installed JI6 today and ran GPS test for the first time. I got 0 satellites for a couple of runs until my 3rd try where it eventually got up to 10.

Even though I get locks on GPS test, google maps/navi still can't pick up my location so it's useless =\
[Vibrant General] ScratchSF:
In my specific case, I found that the JI6 GPS update did not perform much better than the original version. Yes it was better, but certainly not as good as the JI2 update. So, I've applied the JI2 update and things seem to work much better.

Also, I've found that turning off wifi when making the initial GPS lock really helps reduce the amount of time needed to initially lock.

Good luck!
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
^ second that. Try to turn off wifi.
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
Try these maybe:

FYI - Ive had good luck changing to MS Based:

From link-

""In MS-Based mode, the network provides the satellite information to the device, based on a rough estimate of where the device is located, and the device acquires the GPS signals from the satellites and calculates its location. After the initial fix, the device operates like an autonomous GPS receiver, until the satellite information must be refreshed, at which time the device goes back to the network to update the satellite information. MS-Based mode is appropriate for applications that require the device location to be updated rapidly, such as a navigation application. Can the GPS work in autonomous mode? No, the GPS receiver requires the assistance of the network elements to acquire its initial location fix.""
[Vibrant General] theking52:
i flashed bionix 1.9 and had more problems with gps than when i was running 1.5. atleast before it was sort of accurate... and found a couple sats after 2-3 minutes. but iwth 1.9... nothing and not even the correct side of the street (showed me east while i was way west). then i found someone who had a gps fix based on j12 and it was in zip so... i mounted that to me SD and reinstalled using clockwork recovery... now within seconds i get gps ... extremely accurate... AND... lock on to most of the satelites that are available. i love it!
[Vibrant General] cathardicnotion:
Right, so here are my thoughts and experiences while using the new JI6 update:

1) Way more accurate than the previous couple of builds that I have tried. When the GPS does lock, it usually locks onto 10/12 birds and finds my location within 5-6 meters. Not bad! Definitely not as good as when I had GPS working via one of Eugene's Franken-Twiz ROMs (between 2-3 meters), but definitely good enough for daily navigation.

2) The fix for damn sure didn't fix any of the satellite aquisition problems that our phones have been experiencing. Typically for me it will aquire satellites right off the bat about 50% of the time. Other times I'm left waiting 20+ minutes for it to get a lock.

3) Solution I have found to get a quick fix. Type in *#3214789650# (for the new JI6 update) and delete the GPS Data cache. I think it's the last button on the list. After the cache is cleared, use the top button on the list to perform a location test. I've seen this take anywhere from 30 seconds up to 2 minutes... sometimes a bit longer if I am in an area with poor signal coverage. Once I have aquired a successful lock on multiple birds, I simply back out of the application and am good to go. If I leave GPS constantly on, I have found that my phone will maintain the lock almost indef. If I turn the feature off during the day to conserve battery life I have found that it will usually aquire a lock within 30 secs or so of me turning GPS back on IF I am still in the area where I turned the feature off. If I drive to an area an hour or so away from where I turned it off, I usually have to repeat the above process to get a quick fix.

I've tried every iteration of option combinations from the lbltest menu, and have mostly been greeted by similar results, with no one option particularly speeding up the process. Based off of this I am assuming the issue probably lies with the caching of stale data on our phones, and it's inability to purge this data on it's own.

The one thing I haven't tried yet is the JI2 fix mentioned above. I might give this a whirl and see how it works!

BTW, I'm an expat working in Europe, so this might also be the cause of my slow lock times... however every other GPS I own works magnificently over here.
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
That's the first "fix" for the gps? I tried once but it didnt work.
[Vibrant General] kponti:
I have tried pretty much all the "fixes" I can think of and this is what I have found. No matter the source (root mods, Bionix, J12/J14/J15/J16-leaked and OTA), changing from 'standalone' to msbased helps tremendously. Also using the google server and port is much much better for faster locks and maintaining lock even if you are not in clear view of the sky (tree, buildings etc will affect you lock). I willl say the stock JFD with the msbased and google server and port was better than just about all the other ones I have tried with the stock standalone and spirint server.

IMO The OTA J16 is the fastest and most accurate (less than 10 feet everytime, less than 30sec fix everytime) that I have tried, but even that required me to use the google server and port, and also switch to msbased.
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
Hey, do I need to root my phone for that?
[Vibrant General] Coniglio:
Gonna try this out! cheers
[Vibrant General] The_Tim:
finds sats but won't lock on...

I'm still having GPS problems post-update. I've never installed any custom ROMs or any custom GPS fixes other than some tweaking in the LbsTestMode menus, which I have since reverted to the default.

In the LbsTest or the GPS Test app I get the same results: the phone always finds 10-12 satellites just fine (levels in the 20s) but it never locks onto my location. GPS Test will say "In View: 10" for 20 minutes but "In Use" always stays at 0.

Anybody have any ideas here? I was really hopeful that I'd finally have a functioning GPS after this update.
[Vibrant General] 00sivan:
exact same issue. drive an hour away and the gps is hosed unless you clear it and start it again.

I am also overseas. I wonder if grabbing the GPS settings from I9000 would help? Does anyone have them or know where to find them?

EDIT: nevermind they are the same settings
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I used the GPS for hours going between statelines with JI6, no problems requiring a signal when I closed out GPS.

Reboot the phone, it usually works in this case.
[Vibrant General] 00sivan:
the thing is... mine worked in the states with the stock JFD without any problem. flawless.

it stopped working when i got overseas. and hasn't worked well since. It really seems like it ONLY works well in the states. I mean I can get it to work if I clear the data all the time, reset the phone all the time, but it's not supposed to work like that. It should just find me when i open maps like any sound person would expect from the device. can anyone contend? is anyone having flawless GPS functionality outside the US?
[Vibrant General] The_Tim:
I've rebooted at least 5 or 6 times, as well as clearing the GPS cache ("Delete GPS Data" in LbsTestMode) numerous times as well. Still never gets a location lock despite seeing 10-11 satellites.
[Vibrant General] tiebmbr:
me too, update after update...solution after solution...and still I'm sitting on my front porch, and my location will be moving up and down the street, through neighbors yards and into the next town like I'm traveling in a car. All the while, I'll be holding my old G1 in my other hand, and it'll be showing me EXACTLY where I am, to the foot...rock solid. I just don't get it.:(
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
For those having issues, please click the link in my signature. I added how to fix the gps, compliments to another xda user.

Don't be surprised if you get 9 locked sats in a matter of seconds. My gps is AMAZING now.

Hi. I'd like to completely image my wildfire before rooting so that I have an image of it before I did anything. Just in case. Is it possible with soft root or unrevoked?
[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
Hi. I used androot to get a soft root. Any way to backup rom?
[Wildfire General] MartinEve:
You could use adb to extract the whole tree, but it won't preserve permissions so will be useless.

Short answer: no. Do a proper root.
[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
Yes, but the thing is that I want the ROM preserved completely as-is, with no custom recovery or anything. Say, something got broken in hardware, so to get the phone serviced I'd need to flash the stock ROM back on. I heard they don't even check the recovery, but if someone did I'd be in trouble.

On my Linux, I used "dd if=/dev/sda of=/root/hddimg" to get the byte-for-byte copy of my HDD. Will that work in Android as well?

EDIT: Of course I didn't mean /dev/sda, the ROM device is another one, right?
