Wondering if this is possible now with the unlocker which allows sideloading?

Perhaps even some sort of 'quick 'n dirty' remote-registry possibility?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dreamtheater39:
Hi!

Was wondering if we could somehow override the home button long press to run a custom application instead of showing the recent apps list? This way, we could develop a custom application which shows more stuff rather than just 6 recent apps.

Some ideas are - integrating a task manager which shows running apps, favorite apps shortcuts, shortcut to app drawer etc.

I could develop the application but I wouldn't know how to override the home button long press! Any ideas anyone? :)

Cheers,

San
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
Well, there is at least one (paid) app that already does this (could be more but i don't know of them) - "MultiTasking Pro" http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.tkdtnek23.app.multitaskingpro

It would be nice to have extra functionality though, such as a clock (say, if you're in the middle of a game and want to check the time).

As for how it works, just from testing it out, it appears to act as a launcher (given that single home button press takes you to home launcher). I gather this as I had to set it as the default app when i pressed home button for the first time, aswell asthe fact that you have to select the home launcher in the app settings.

The way the app works is, press home button once brings up the menu (overlaying existing app). press it a second time and it takes you to the "default" home launcher as selected in settings. If you hold down home, the original app menu pops up, reinforcing the fact that this isn't a replacement per se.

Of course, overriding the original home button hold function menu would appear to be a much cleaner solution, and I welcome any info on that... whether its integrated into touchwiz or what not... One things for sure, is that samsung modified it to include a link to their "task manager" app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bec07:
TaskSwitcher is better, faster, uses less memory and it's completely free.

However no app can replace the long press. It needs kernel/system file modding.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Indeed, not possible. Does anyone know if it was implemented in other android phones?

PS. Power strip is better =) Very very fast and you can see 12 recent apps + widgets. Itching thumb is very promising, but its a plain beta for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bec07:
Yeah but itching thumb uses a LOT of memory.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jjwa:
For me Itching Thumb is currently the only task switcher style thing I find good enough (interface, functionality) to run next to Launcher Pro... I uninstalled all others I tried before.

But if I could have Launcher Pro on short press home, and Itching Thumb on long press home, that would be exactly how I would want that :). Because I think optimizations such as memory use will come in time anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bec07:
I hope for the visual style to be integrated in android and have a real preview, live of the app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Any idea on what would need to be modified?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wybren:
I was happely running Froydvillain till I sent my Hero to HTC for dust behind the display. After 4 weeks wating I received a complete new Hero thanks to HTC. Sounds nice but the rooting gives me headache so far.

On the phone Android 2.1-update1 software number 3.32.405.2 preinstalled.

I first tried to root with Universal Androot. It seems to work, no errors at all according to UniversalAndrood. But as soon as I try to use overclockwidget for example it doesn't worked. Flashrec same story.

So I searched the internet and found out that my software version was hard to root. Then I tried to downgrade to Ruu version 2.73.405.5 (filename: RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe) because that version seems easier to root, but then I got a bootloader error during the installation process. Looking something like this:

Error[140] Bootloaderversion fault

The Rom update tool cant update the Android phone.

Get the right Rom update tool and try again.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I have looked around and cant seem to find an application quite fitting.

All I want is an app that will wirelessly sync just a folder automatically when I have my WiFi turned on, is there an app that can do this?

i.e. Come home from work, turn on wifi and it just syncs.

Many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] danchappers:
To any developers about: How hard would something like this be to make?
[Android Apps and Games] ZMDK:
I think dropbox does that?
[Android Apps and Games] nxtwrld:
Dropbox syncs a folder on multiple devices with a folder on dropbox server.

There is also an app called PCFileSync that syncs a folder over wifi between the phone and a samba share. I am turning it on with Tasker once it connects to my home ssid. Works great!
[Android Apps and Games] synflex:
samba share? hm........

rsync and ssh would be a much better choice and cleaner, just a script to run.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
http://a-more-common-hades.blogspot.com/2010/07/backup-photos-with-rsync.html

Tasker+Rsync, and combine it with a ssh key and you can automate it easy.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
BTW, I decided to do this today.. I have one which backs up /sdcard/DCIM, and another which backs up the entire sdcard, both over wifi to my Fedora Linux workstation. I'll have to figure out how I want to execute these, but I can do it from GScript Lite, Tasker, whatever floats my boat.

Here's the notes I took, just in case I have to do it again in the future, hope it's useful to some folks..

# Get dropbear/dropbearkey from http://www.elkins.org/dropbear.tar.gz

# Get ssh off device and follow instructions (references at the end) to fix it, name fixed file "sshfxed"

# Remount /system rw

# Install dropbear and sshfixed from adb push

# Now get into adb shell and execute in Android..

# Create keys

# Copy and paste the public DSS key the dss command above outputs and put it in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on intended host. If you need to know more here, google for how to use ssh keys on Linux hosts. Basically if you're going to user@machine1, on machine1 under user account "user" you create a file named authorized_keys in the .ssh directory with the output of the previous command, it tells you it's the 'public key', which is what you want to copy. It has to be all one line.

# Now actually use it all and rsync sdcard to your host :) For debugging, I suggest trying the "sshfixed -l USER -y -i /system/etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key" part just by itself and make sure you can ssh to your machine WITHOUT any prompting, password, etc.

Another vote for Dropbox, it works great! Look for referral codes in the comments on Market for some additional free storage. I use it all the time for pictures and vids for the family.

[Android Apps and Games] schermvlieger:
I use S&K sync.

Horrible user interface but once things are set up you need only to start the client on your phone and press the "Start Sync" button.

Supports multiple configuration sets (local/remote directory pairs, ip address, etc), each can be started separately.

Google: "SK sync android"
[Android Apps and Games] synflex:
I'm actually syncing to 2 android phones, with dropbox, rsync and dropbear.

Dropbox is good for documents and such, with small filesize and possiblity of sharing with others.

Using rsync for large files like movies and music folders, also some pictures, notes, keepass, and stuffs I like having around, things that's only going around between my laptop and phone.

Running a crontab that scans for my phone in adb devices, if found, pull a "last sync status" file, if interval > 1 hour or changes made locally, do a local notify-send till rsync is done, then execute dropbear on phone, rsync remote and local, kills dropbear, then push last sync file.

This way, no resources is wasted on the phone, all scanning and verification of device, system, and files were done on laptop.

At the same time I'm monitoring my development phone with frequent ssh rsync when it's in range, push updates, kernels and such across in proper folder structure.

This will ensure changes or new kernels were pushed to phone ready for testing.

Could use the same script for both phone, be it adb+ssh+rsync or pure ssh+rsync, but I personally don't like having sshd running in background when I'm connected to wifi hotspot.

Cleaner this way, less resources wasted on phone, and I can have full control over what, where, and when to sync.

I do realise that there isn't much choice for syncronization in the wild, thus you may like yo try something along the same idea, and you may get your own perfect combo to sync.

P.S. backing up, restoring or syncing bookmarks from browser.db and such could be done this way. ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runningdap:
Through the forums I've read that many people use Android on their device for daily use instead of winmo. I'd love to replace winmo myself my i have some questions:

-I have tried Android, but when i run it, it takes more or less 5 minutes to load. Is that how it's supposed to be or I'm doing something wrong. (i've read everywhere that the first time it takes 15mins or so, but havent found anywhere how long does it normally take). If it does take 5mins to load, what happens when you just have to soft reset the device? Isn't it annoying to wait 5 minutes just for one soft-reset? (it really annoying in winmo that it takes 1~ minute. cant image how its on android :P)

-Is Android that much customizable like winmo? i mean can u change the taskbar or softkeys, icons for the apps and stuff? i love customizations!

-How long can u run Android on your phone without recharging?

-Is there ANYTHING that you miss from winmo and you cant find it on android?

thanks in advance :)

I'd have liked to try this theme out, the keyboard is absolutely amazing. So simple and yet striking. However, rapidshare says it's unavailable, so that's stuffed that.

When (and if) it becomes downloadable again can I use the HTC_IME without the flashable zip or not? Already have a theme in place and just want to try the keyboard without restoring the ROM or anything.

Im not a fan of the htc hd2 slider though :/

EDIT 2: I like this theme but there's actually quite a lot of hd2 stuff in there. The slide shows when answering calls, if the device clears cash rather than showing HTC screen it shows the hd2 splash. Makes me feel dirty.

I flashed the transparency mod.
