After having read through ADB, deodexing, and a couple scripting/theming guides. I was wondering if there was any way to port/duplicate/enable Samsumg Tw widgets on other launchers either as a seperate framework(?)/entity that does not need the whole TW framework in order to run or maybe doing it from deodexing?

I'm not sure, but the idea seems capable and plausible just the issue would be how to pursue and accomplish it... Sorta like porting or modding the multitouch keyboard to work on other devives. And if TW Launcher was needed, wouldnt that just be a snippet of code or switch that would require the launcher which means you should be able to switch or disable it by either switching the launcher requirements with another or say having whats necessary for the widget to work off of the tw launcher and than switching the launcher requirements?

About deodexing you should be able to edit the files to set permission for other launcher uses right? :/

**I have read other threads but they just dont seem to quite answer the specific questions I have about the ability to port/mod/duplicte/adjusting system files through deodexing/permission rights.

Im new to the community and this is my first android phone but ive jailbroken/modded many things before and have coded c++ and a lil javascript before. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Is it possible an app could change your Input method depending on if you're portait or landscape?

I would love Swype for portrait and maybe SwiftKey or TouchPal when Landscape...

Mounting a CIFS (Samba) share from a Slackware 13.1 server

For the impatient:

OTA 1 cifs.ko (-g9ab3677)

OTA 1 nls_utf8.ko (-g9ab3677)

Stock cifs.ko

Stock nls_utf8.ko

Download CIFSManager or use the shell:

busybox mount -t cifs -o user=username,password=password //server_ip/mount_point /phone_mount_point

Combined the details from two guides on XDA to achieve the goal:

[Q] How do you CIFS Mount a network drive on the HTC Aria ?

[KERNEL] CIFS + UTF8 NLS support for the official HTC Desire Froyo kernel

From Scratch:

Use the first guide to setup the ARM toolchain and environment variables with the G2 source code

Follow the second guide to patch the "slow_work" sections of the cifs code. Download the entire 2.6.32.15 tarball or just the original cifsfs.c or the patched cifsfs.c.

Create and modify .config from the phone or download and rename this working version.

Oddities:

Had to disable some security features in smb.conf. Wouldn't mount until I removed the NTLMv2 requirement.

need some help here,

moved the ko file to /data/local

ran insmod /data/local/cifs.ko and busybox insmod /data/local/cifs.ko

both did not work

error from insmod

insmod: init_omdule '/data/local/cifs.ko' failed (file exists)

error from busybox

insmod: cant insert '/data/local/cifs.ko': File exists

also CifsManager doesnt work. it does and it doesnt

1) it runs if you run it from notification bar right after install

2) shortcut or app list says "Application is not installed"

i do have root, i am using visionary and vision_oc.ko for the overclock is working fine

what am i doing wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] llin:
Does the module appear in lsmod after the failed insmod? I receive the same message with a CPU module but it still loads.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
I ran this script through gscript:

cp /sdcard/modules/cifs.ko /data/local/modules/
cp /sdcard/modules/nls_utf8.ko /data/local/modules/
chmod 755 /data/local/modules/cifs.ko
chmod 755 /data/local/modules/nls_utf8.ko
insmod /data/local/modules/cifs.ko
insmod /data/local/modules/nls_utf8.ko

Then used the CifsManager app and connected to a share on my pc, worked great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lalalandrus:
damn noob mistake, forgot the chmod, copying from windows FAT to linux fs doesnt preserve permissions :(.

cifs manager still has that launch error, any ideas?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
Not sure why but when I installed it from the market and tried to open it, it said "this application is not installed" or something similar. So I made a shortcut using tasker and after a reboot the icon in the launcher works now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lalalandrus:
yeah launcher pro did the trick.

Modules updated for OTA #1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hosermage:
Thanks a lot!

I'm able to load the modules, but still unable to mount my windows 7 HTPC.

"mount: invalid argument"

with very simple no username/password, no options.

tried "domain=WORKGROUP" and "workgroup=WORKGROUP" and still nada.

EDIT: got it! change the user to "guest" and put in the correct share folder name, then voila!

EDIT2: another question... is there anyway to add a widget/switch to execute a mount? I can live with opening the app to remount for now :) thanks!

EDIT3: I can browse the files, but if I try to copy a video file or watch it with rock player over the mount, my phone reboots. Is anyone seeing the same problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bluegizmo83:
The same thing is happening to me. I downloaded the new updated files for the OTA, now every time I try to play a file (music, videos, anything) it reboots my phone. I can mount and browse files fine. Everything was working fine before the update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bluegizmo83:

Any help would be appreciated
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] llin:
Also experiencing reboots when accessing shares after the OTA. The CIFS code didn't change so something in the OTA is messing up the connection. With cyanogenmod arriving soon that'll be the best fix.

I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum. This is a good way to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the HTC Glacier. This includes, but is not limited to, people that are providing the following:

- Roms & Kitchens

- Programs & Apps

- Fixes & Tweaks

- Skins & Themes

- Tips & Tricks

I would like to request the help from other members to keep the thread in order and in check.

As far as recovery, the only way I see to get into it is through Android Commander..

I get to a red triangle with a red ! with a phone in the background.

Pushing volume up and power will then get you into recovery.

The standard list is...

Reboot system now

Apply sdcard:update.zip

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

All this is making my head hurt...

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
1. Is a backup file in the zip it tells you to download (nand, nandroid is a name that come with amon ra's recovery, that's why you don't see it in clockwork) this file should go in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ then you can restore in clockwork.

4. Should be answered above

6. The recovery.img file should be placed in sdk/tools (wherever you installed yours on your pc) to use fastboot method or you will have to specify

the complete path to the recovery.img for example: fastboot flash recovery c:/users/public/documents/recovery.img "put recovery.img where fastboot can find it."

8-9. Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down, then select fastboot)

Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...

At this point people are also thinking the phone will install recovery, instead of having to open fastboot on pc to flash it with the commands below.

fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hope this helps, you should have used most of this stuff when you rooted initially, I think everyone should know fastboot and adb well before attempting any rooting on the mt4g. There are lots of guides to teach you about them. No offense, we all had to learn it. ;)

Is a pure built-from-source AOSP Gingerbread for the MT4G possible?

Is a pure built-from-source AOSP Gingerbread for the MT4G possible? I mean, including any drivers specific to the device, of course. And not built from CM7 source, but from Google source. But, is it possible? Is anyone working on it? Don't get me wrong. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my CM7 ROMs and all, but I'd also like to see what a pure AOSP ROM would do. I would attempt it myself, but, my Android kung-ph00 is not as great as some here and my old ass laptop can't compile Gingerbread.

Excellent website lots of knowledge

Hi guys,

I am a very new android user, just got my first MT4G, before that i was a big blackberry user, but I love my android, this website has a lot of information so thank you all the folks who give out information, I am not going to root my phone yet as I want to learn more about the android system and my phone, I do have a few simple questions and I did search but did not find most definitive answers, so i thought check with the experts here, if i missed the answers somewhere I would like to apologize in advance just trying to learn the ropes....thanks

Q1: Is there a way to run titanium backup and remove apps like T-mobile tv, app pack, asphalt, monopoly, demo video, rock band etc etc without rooting?

Q2: since i am new I initially did downloaded a lot of apps and my phone got real slow so i deleted the ones i did not use and still not as fast as i got it the first few days? any suggestions?

Q3: If I root my phone would rooting make it faster? I have been reading up on rooting methods and was wondering if there is a guide on certain terms like engineering boatloader, hboot just something to give an idea on where in the system we are? also i noticed some folks saying first get the S off (which i read that is security) but then later after the root turn the S back on, why?

I would really appreciate some feedback and answers, or guidance in the right direction for the related forums.

Thank you again.

so i'm gonna exchange my mt4g for a new one and I'm rooted. So what exactly do i need to do to go back to stock? to be sure, I restore back to a stock rom, then return back to stock recovery image, then turn s-on, . do i go in that order?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cbeezy34:
Hey I had a simiular problem.(on stock, no root or rom) I called T-moible android team and was told to delete any text over (100) and to keep it that way. Also they told me clear my browser history, internet cache, and call log. This was because all of those use up alot of the phones memory and cause the system to become confused when low on mem and do silly things like foreclose, send double text, late text etc...and this worked for me. Try that out, keeping those a minimum. If that doesnt work, it may be an internal software issue which shoudl be covered my the manufactures warranty and T-mobile will replace for free...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cbeezy34:
Hey, or you using visonary? Are you rooted and using a custom rom? I know if your using visonary there is an option at the bottom to unroot. Im not sure if it works tho, I havent used it, but there are 2 other ways that others have used, check them out here at xda.

Here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863899

or :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

The second one is a one-click root program that also has an "unroot" option.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cbeezy34:
Q1. Your phone must be rooted to use titanium backup, but as far as getting rid of those stock apps, when you flash most of the custom roms that are available, they are removed for you.

Q2. I would try the deleting messages over (100) or excessive messages, clear internet cache and history and call log. the apps are gone so It could be other reasons the phone is slowing down, have you downloaded app killer?

Q3. Rooting your phone only opens your phone for customization and allows us to use apps that require "root". the root allows you to download a custom rom that will make your phone faster. There are apps to show you the difference in performance like "quadrant" and linpack for android". they are in the market. Try those, then when you root your phone run quadrant and linpack again to see the diff. The roms allow you to use an app called "setCPU" that allow us to overclock the processor from 1ghz(stock) to 1.8ghz, depending on which rom you use. There are a few listed on xda under development. Try em out! but make sure to follow the instructions carefully, and always do a backup first! hope that answers ur questions.

Oh I forgot to mention rooting your phone unlocks features t-mobile has locked on the phone like "wifi hotspot" you should be able to use your phone as a hotspot for 2 users, but with root you can us the max of 4.
