[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Shadowafs8:
Hey guys. I'm trying to push a libwebcore.so file from one .zip onto my current MyTouch phone that has CM 6 on it. The reason why I'm doing this is to have the Arabic browser support. This file causes the letters to be connected which they are in text messages, but not the browser. I heard pushing the libwebcore.so from a downloaded source (or from a rom .zip that has it from another rom) will do the trick.

However, everytime I try to push it to /system/lib it gives me an error saying that there is no room on the device. That's pretty unprobable since I'm sure I have a lot of space. How do I fix this and sucessfully push the file?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wjsturgis3:
Do "adb shell df -h" to see how much room is available in your system partition. You may have to remove some unused system apps to make room.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Shadowafs8:
I'm trying that now...but is it safe to delete the current libwebcore.so now and add the new one? If so what's the command. Also, if the libwebcore.so was for a testing version of CM 6 (specifically RC3), will it still work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Shadowafs8:
Also, is there a way to take some space from other parts of the system?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
First of all, i'm going to move this to General since I fail to see how this is regarding the Development of anything. Some good information, but not related to Development.

Secondly, have you considered performing a nandroid backup, booting to recovery, mount the /system directory, then 'adb shell rm /system/lib/webcore.so' to remove your file then 'adb push webcore.so /system/lib'

Also, if you use the file directly from SOURCE it may not work since it may need to be compiled first. I'm not sure about that though since I've never tried it.

If any of the above goes wrong you can always nandroid restore and try again.

I personally use Clockwork Recovery since you can restore specific partitions individually (such as System) so it saves time.

Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Shadowafs8:
I'm pretty much done trying...unless somebody can comply the file for me and test it. I'm really done trying this when all it does is fail over and over again. Hopefully somebody can come up with something
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
has anyone come up with the procedure to change the icons at the bottom of the home screen? - i'd love to put "contacts" where the browser icon is
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Launcher pro allows me to place contacts in the dock and change icons if thats what you mean.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidtoy09:
Or get LauncherPro. Long press on the (dock) icons and you can do a few things with it. hope I answer your question.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Dont mean to hijack the thread but seeing that the OP's questions been answered. Does anyone know how to get the "+" icon back on the dock?
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
i was hoping for a solution without having to use LauncherPro - it created issues last time i installed it
[G2 and Desire Z General] zuludelta9:
Yeah I was wondering this too. Blank literally just blanks it out... I was hoping to put at least a + on it. Maybe someone will create the icon in the launcher pro icon pack? Then again, you'll still have to make it link to something :/

[General Questions and Answers] rwitmer:
I want to edit with busybox vi running from the phone within an adb shell.

I am running a DOS box cmd window or a cygwin rxvt shell window, both don't work, where I connect to the phone with an adb shell. Then I run busybox vi. The vi runs but the default termcap or terminfo or whatever it is doesn't seem to be right because busybox vi comes up but I can't seem to get the ESC key to take so I can switch between command and insert modes of operation. On the phone it works correctly.

I hate editing on the phone. I would much rather work on the workstation.

I've read on a wiki busybox vi page that busybox vi only supports vt102. Any ideas if this should work or what I could try?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] s2berto:
Same here. I spend half the morning playing with TERMs, trying to get a dos or cygwin terminal to run vi. vi runs fine in Terminal emulator, but like you, I don't wan to edit on the phone.

I found JOE (Joe's Own Editor) ported to Android. I installed it because it supposedly uses TERM=unknown. That didn't work from DOS either. :( But it did work from a cygwin bash shell, with TERM=linux in the adb shell. Now there is the learning curve to use JOE...

I too would be happy to hear which TERM setting will work with a DOS adb shell.
[General Questions and Answers] vvong:
Face same situation here. Is it resolved?

If not, how you gurus work around on this basic issue?

I don't know much about VNC yet. Could it be a viable direction that worth spending effort?
[General Questions and Answers] barryholroyd:
Adb shell and Vi - info

I too just spent a lot of time trying to get vi to work under "adb shell". ESC was especially a problem. Ultimately, I wasn't able to get it to work correctly, but SSH seems to work fine.

There are a lot of details about what I learned on Stackoverflow (I'm a new member here, so I can't post the link, but you can search for it -- the title is "adb shell: can't use the ESCAPE KEY").

Has anyone gotten this to work correctly? Or is it simply an incomplete/buggy implementation of adb's shell?

Thanks,

Barry

Just came on break at work to find my battery at 23% after just under 4 hours of being unplugged. Looked at battery use and a whopping 55% of usage was display. Some how the screen must have not timed out. 3 hours of the 4 the phone was on airplane while in my locker at work.... anyone else with strange happenings?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mgshute:
When you were on the plane the phone was prob trying to find a signal the whole time and killed your battery. (if your phone was on the plane with you) if it was on the ground chances are you had a app open that did not allow the screen to sleep.
[G2 and Desire Z General] brentcizek:
...sorry for not better clarifying but it was in airplane mode....not on an airplane.

[Off-topic] Stonent:
Background:

I've been assigned an "Unofficial" project at work (and I keep being told it is unofficial) to streamline one of our processes. I've been told that my day to day work is of most importance and I should only be working on the unofficial project when I don't have anything else to do.

At first I found plenty of time, but recently the day to day stuff has been taking up more and more time where I don't have much time if any to work on the unofficial project.

So in my bi-weekly meeting with my supervisor 2 weeks ago I said "I'm really concerned about running out of time before the deadline you had chosen initally" and that our manager wasn't allowing me to have overtime to work on this project.

I was told everything was fine he wasn't concerned.

Yesterday at the following meeting he said "I'm really concerned about running out of time before our deadline"

REALLY?!

So now I'm in this position where I can't have the overtime I need to meet the deadline but if I miss the deadline (since this is the first real "project" they've put me on since they've changed managers in my group) I feel that this will be a big red mark on my next review.

I've already pretty much been told if the project works out as planned I'll most likely get the promotion that they didn't give me last year. (From a "blah blah blah" to a Sr. "Blah blah blah") This promotion coincidentally was given to the other guy in our department that was hired the same day as me because though he's younger than me by about 5 or 6 years and has had less college experience than me, they've appointed him to be the executive contact for our department and he's good at schmoozing with them.

So I'm in the position now where, I can't have the overtime to get everything I need done for this "unofficial project" and unoffical projects are not funded and do not have overtime. But if I don't get it done, I may not get the promotion I was expecting.

I've already come in once on a weekend to work for 2 hours to get caught up on paperwork "for free" (and I'm not salaried) And I feel like I may just have to do it again for other stuff.

(Head explodes)
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
thats a lot of work, why don't you organise a meeting yourself and tell them that you don't have enough time?

Or have a private chat with the boss about perhaps getting paid for working on weekends?
[Off-topic] Stonent:
Well I did talk to my supervisor in a more informal setting today and said basically I need some overtime or we're not going ot make it and I offered to come in this weekend and get caught up. He said he'd talk to our manager and he thinks it would be ok.

(*relief*)
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
There you go, i hope everything goes to plan!:)
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
According to this

http://www.clove.co.uk/dell-venue-pro

The Dell Venu Pro has an SDHC slot capable of handling the new 32GB cards, to don't forget to order a card with your phone. Remember you have to do a hard reset when you change cards, so it's easiest to bung a huge card in before you first switch it on to save pain later!
[Venue Pro General] Adam86:
Wheres it say that? cannot see that at all on that site..
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
You're not looking very hard...
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
Incidentally, Expansys also confirm the SDHC slot is present.
[Venue Pro General] Adam86:
Really sorry mate, I thought what you had said had been quoted from the site!

Tempts me even more at the Venue Pro now... £440 isnt a bad deal either and looks really nice.

Saw the HD7 in the O2 store today, looked lovely but I have a Touch Pro 2 and I really think I would miss a hardware keyboard if I went for another phone other than the Venue Pro or the HTC Pro 7
[Venue Pro General] TehPenguin:
A NOTE ON WP7 AND SD CARDS:

At the moment, no publicly available microSD card has the correct characteristics to be used as internal memory for WP7.

The "Class" system for SD cards measures minimum bulk transfer speeds, while this is useful for devices like cameras, it is not so good if the SD card is being used as a device's main storage.

This is not FUD or BS - the micro SD cards being shipped with the phones have a lower latency and random read\write rates than the normal ones you can purchase.

The reason they are including user-accessible slots is such that 1) the carriers can offer different capacity sizes in-store when selling the phone and 2) (hopefully) in the near future they may be cards that are publicly available with the correct characteristics that can be certified to work with WP7.

For the time being, I would recommend holding off on buying a micro SD card for your WP7.

how to do a hard reset on wp7

on iphone, when i do a hard reset, the OS is also wiped

is it the same on wp7???

i'm newbie on wp7
[Venue Pro General] bigsro:
I know exactly what you mean - I had a play with a HD7 in my local O2 store and was really really impressed by how fluid and responsive WP7 is. The handset is far better in the flesh than on video reviews and photos. Loved it!

I have the Dell Venue pro on pre-order at Clove.co.uk and Im very tempted to go with the HD7 now...

What do I do!?!?!
[Venue Pro General] Michael_W_L:
So, we now get told yes, there are slots, but you can't use them :P

So my question now is, when will we be able to buy them( I will personally pay$150 for a class 6 32GB micro SD)

Luckily I don't need a new phone yet, but I also don't want to sit on the outside for 5 months without any new hardware.
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
Bear in mind the HD7 doesn't have an SD card slot, nor does it have an AMOLED screen or Gorilla Glass. The Venue Pro has all that plus 1GB ROM and a hardware keyboard. And it's cheaper.
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
Class 6 32GB Micro SDHC cards aren't available yet AFAIK.

Also, yes you CAN use the SD card slot on the Venue Pro. Please pay attention. You just slip the SD card in and do a hard reset. Easy-peasy.
[Venue Pro General] TehPenguin:
Class 6 SD cards are available, I believe Kingston claims to have a Class 10. But remember that the 'Class' system only refers to minimum bulk continuous read\write - not latency or random read\write.

And, yes, you technically CAN use the card slot. What I am saying is that it is NOT RECOMMENDED.

I know some of you won't believe me\Microsoft's own documentation, but the WP7 guys did tests with standard SD cards and they could not achieve the performance they were targeting and, in some cases, caused strange behavior, serious slow downs and even crashes.

So it is possible but, like everything else on this site, you do it at your own risk.
[Venue Pro General] bigsro:
Surely there must be a legitimate technical/design requirement as to why expansion slots are not on the first batch of handsets?

Also if they are going to use custom cards for system/storage doesnt this kind of increase costs?

Jim - good shout on the Venue Pro advantages! I was having a weak moment - I want a WP7 handset now! lol
[Venue Pro General] Michael_W_L:
Thank You for explaining that!

There is no information though on when there might be cards available which a normal person could buy?
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
Sounds about like how they use a custom HDD for their Xbox.... :|
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
I can go through a few hard resets...unless there is issue with identification of device.

If not then I can use a hard reset
[Venue Pro General] Michael_W_L:
It seems to be less custom cards, in the fact that they can only be sourced through MS, but higher performance cards, unlike the HDDs which are just a rip-off.

Seeing as the cards memory seems to be completely added to the standard, much faster flash memory, it would bog down the system when being accessed, compared to the faster flash used in the phone memory.
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
If there is such a thing as a class 6 or 10 32GB Micro SDHC card, I'd very much like to see a link to it so I can make a purchase. My class 2 is in the post as it's the fastest I could find.

The notion that putting an SD card in a phone's SD card slot is "NOT RECOMMENDED" is rubbish and again I'd love to see a reference that shows this is the case.

I saw a Focus review where they put a 32GB card in the SD slot and other than having to do a hard reset, they had no problems at all.

WP7 presents the combined internal and SD card storage as one block to the applications, but I'm sure that deep in the OS it knows the difference and uses the faster internal memory when efficiency calls for it.
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
I just received my Sandisk 32GB Micro SDHC and although it was advertised as class 2, it is in fact class 4! Rejoice!
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Seems there shouldnt be any problem upgrading a microSD card with WP7 devices: http://www.theunwired.net/?item=dis...ne-7-memory-management-and-microsd-cards&5674. If the Dell has a separate card slot then it will be even better, no voiding warranty but extra storage.
[Venue Pro General] GeneNZ:
It's official, the Venue Pro has a microsd card:

[Venue Pro General] Silent Shark:
Not quite I'm afraid.

[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
I've heard from everyone that it'll have a SDHC slot.. fingers crossed, I guess. :confused:
[Venue Pro General] kdes12:
This is the answer I received from expansys customer support about SD cards (and release date) ...

"It is due mid-Nov.

It has microSD support as per info provided by Dell however it might be changed by the time the actual stock released - which is not really common but still possible."

so they seem to have heard it from the horses mouth, but still not 100% sure
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
i just talked to dell support, that said the microsSD card slot is present, however, the phone is built with 8gb/16gb internal storage provided by the microsSD card slot. the memory is not removable. the card slot is not for external storage, but for internal. remove the memory will void warranty.
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
Yes well they would say that, wouldn't they? Anyway, someone managed to get a 16GB card working with the Venue Pro so we have our answer.

The Slot is there and yes you can put another card in it, you just need to do a reset.
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
what about the warranty?
[Venue Pro General] Se4nH4x:
Who cares? lol. If you want greater capacity, take the risk.
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
if you dropped it or or toss it in the sink, you may need warranty. :p
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
If it's just a sticker you peel up, isn't it possible to carefully lift it up and then close it?
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
if its just a sticker, then be careful dont break it. it its a seal and you break it, then not good.
[Venue Pro General] Andrmgic:
My interest in this phone dropped a bit.. knowing that all of the apps will be run off of the sd card puts this in the same boat as the HD7, imho.
[Venue Pro General] JoeTheFro:
It is a perforated sticker. as you peel it off, parts get left behind. the perforation spells VOID.
[Venue Pro General] JoeTheFro:
Where else would the apps be? if you swap out for a 32gb first day you get it, then you are good to go.

Also, when i had my bad model swapped for a working one, all my apps reinstalled all on thier own (after plugging into pc with zune running).
[Venue Pro General] Andrmgic:
On-board NAND flash like the Omnia 7 and the Focus.

I'm more concerned with speed than storage capacity.

My HD7 screen timed out (with the 1 minute time out) before my saved game of "The Harvest" loaded.. and I had to re-start the process.
[Venue Pro General] JoeTheFro:
Fair enough
[Windows Phone 7 General] JediFonger:
cause 32GB is ridunkulous! w/the ability to play h.264 you can now just throw some 10GB or 20GB .mkv Blu-Ray 720p encodes and let it play. that's how i intend to roll. 32GB is very limiting.

i just want my phone to have this capability so i can plug the HDMI from my phone to my friend's HDTV and show him this or that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sledgeman:
I'm not sure the QSD8250 is capable of playing 720p video at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
So, you need a phone with an SDXC slot, a chip capable of playing back HD content and a video-out enabled HDMI port? Try 2012.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gd761:
No phones at all will support that format yet. Not even any for the phones that are to be released this year, and probably the first half of next year if not the whole year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KobiP:
NO WP7 Phone will support SDXC because MS doesn't allow SD-Cards or exchangeable memory at all! So until MS changes it's mind this will not get real!

Greetings!
[Windows Phone 7 General] A_Flying_Fox:

And if you want to use the wifi part of it, the big plus of WTFRU over ANetShare, is the access controll, set it up once, and thats it, on ANetShare you need to accept the client every time you use it. With WTFRU thats not the case.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlansing:
I live in Germany and have a T-Mobile Vibrant (JI6). Constantly transiting between different countries, we hop on and off different networks. By default, my data roaming is off, but for some reason when the Vibrant hops on a new network it allows data to transfer and puts up the dialog box 'Do you want to turn data roaming off?' Data will continue to download until I select 'Yes'. So I am paying for the data even though the option is off by default. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, or have experienced this as well? Also, I was wondering how do people who tweak and edit the firmware, like cyanogen, go about doing it? What software do they use to view firmware code and edit it?

If the ROM has apps2sd built-in, you should be able to just partition your SD card and have it start working automatically. If the ROM includes an older version (like Fresh 3.3.0.1 does), you may wish to flash the new version of apps2sd before you start using it.

If the ROM doesn't have apps2sd support, it takes more than just flashing apps2sd to get it working.
