Hi,

I am a beginner on Android platform, but I am power user on symbian and wm as well.

I have tried Apps2sd on my X8 and it doesn't works, even after sd format and getting the root rights as well.

Is it possible to get apps2sd work on Android 1.6 (especially on x8)?

Thx.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] muzik_demon:
Check out similar thread in x8 android development

Hopefully it should solve your problem

Quick pointers :

Make sure you are ROOTED.

Busybox installed.

Try after a fresh flash.

Format the ext2 partition before using the script.

Thank you, music_daemon.

Finally i have found the right solution to app2sd my x8.

You find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8579902#post8579902

Follow the instructions correctly, and your phone will app2sd ready.

I must PS that i replaced my rom with SE Software Updater, because the first try haven't given the right result. I have rooted my phone again, and applied the previously attached solution.

Now that's right. Thank you XDA.

Im currently using the MIUI Launcher. How do I switch it to Launcher Pro.

It gave me the option at the begining but I did not chose it.

Help pls...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
Go to Settings - Programs - Manage Applications - Launcher. You should have the option to then Clear Defaults. Once you press the home button it will give you the option of which launcher to choose/automatically go to.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcos.lennis:
Thanx... that worked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _PeTiT_:
MIUI is a great rom expecially for its new innovative launcher.

Why you should use MIUI with (traditional) LauncherPro?

Cant you use Cyanogen + LauncherPro instead?

MIUI is a great rom, but Cyanogen by sure is more experienced.

I had your same idea but I actually stay with Cyanogen because imho it is nonsense changing MIUI's launcher.

;)

my 2 cents
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reznorfan0:
I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there.

If I wanted an iphone homescreen where I have endless screens of icons, I would get an iphone. I don't get why android people would like the miui for the homescreens.

BUT, the menus are awsome. I love having the lp homescreens and customization with miui's menu interface, its perfect. Just wish there were a way to get away from the japanese text on some of the menus on the muiu themes.

Maybe having one phone as a hotspot, and the other connecting to it, or thru an already existent wireless network

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] JGeZau:

[Android Apps and Games] hi_bye:
You can probably by creating one phone as access point and connecting the other through ad-hoc connection.

I never did, though had used this type of connectivity on PCs.
[Android Apps and Games] blandger:
Probably you want to make something like that:

frostwire.com/android/

p2p client connects phones via WiFi and shares photo, music, video, documents

they have opened sources but not for Android version.
[Android Apps and Games] ickyboo:
Sadly you'll need to hack android to allow ad hoc wifi. On another note, Bluetooth 3.0 is kind of what you are talking about but not like a NAS setup which you are wanting. BT 3.0 sets connects/handshakes two devices by bt then turns on wifi for faster speeds. The only devices that I know have BT 3.0 as of now are the Samsung Galaxy S's

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Life Engineer:
Hey all!

As you can see in my signature, i'm a HD2 user and i'm currently porting android, it's now been 3 months since i last used winmo!!!

To cut down to the important; my brother recently bought HTC Magic!

Since i like modding a lot, and since i have felt the beauty of android 2.2 (Froyo) on my HD2, knowing that Magic is android 1.5 by default, i want to port the latest ROM/android to his cell phone!

It's a PVT32A i guess (its written on the box 288MB RAM)

Is there is any froyo ROM for magic now?!

Or eclair?!

Stock or custom?!

I prefer stock roms if possible with froyo or eclair!

If not, what is the latest/fastest/best ROM for magic right now?! Please point me to it!

In htc site i found this http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=862;

did anyone tried it?! Is that android 1.5 or more?!

Please help me guys!

I know i should be reading but HD2 has got many bugs still in android to keep me completely busy in reading there besides that my brother doesn't like to read.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Simple.... follow my guide to root and get custom recovery...(check my signature)... then apply stock magic 2.1 with sense found in development section... or the stock 2.2 without sense also found in development!

Good luck!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Life Engineer:
Excuse me mumilover but i have many concerns, if you or anyone can help me:

1-i've read that there is a "check for system update" in the settings/about phone but i don't have it!!! that is weird!!! I was thinking of updating the system first to see where that leads me! :confused:

2-in your root guide you use adb installing method; well i have never used it yet, is it that simple by only opening a command prompt in windows and writing "adb install C:\roottools\App\UniversalAndroot_1.6.1.apk" for example i can install this app if this is its location on pc?!?

Excuse my ignorance, but does this work simply by connecting the cell to the pc va usb (with debugging mode on) or it does need anything extra to make it work?!?:o

3-the biggest difficulty is that, by default, there are no file manager included and no market application!!!! which means one can not install any app!!! No way to download it and no way to install it if one can't access the SDcard!!!

Is that why we need adb?!?:o

4-How can i know my radio version and Hboot?! (in winmo it used to be displayed on booting)

5-Do you mean by "and get custom recovery" that i should do also steps 6, 7 and 8?! or only 7?! or maybe 7 and 8?! (coz 6 seems a bit freaky "Using this spl will cut your ram in half and make the 3.5mm jack useless!"... :p)

Thanks a lot
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
I can only say, that you have to read the guide 1-3 times more...

Just do it and revert back if you get any problems.

Please, if you get problems, then write them in the guide thread and not here... to make things organized :0)

TomTom, Co-Pilot and BlueGPS a Winning Combination

Oh yeah, and added SVOX TTS Engine and Victoria for great TTS action. I am using VeganTab b5.1 and my initial issues went away after migrating from TnT-Lite 3.1 to this build. It allowed me access to the TTS selections.

So I purchased the TomTom 9001 for $15, Co-Pilot USA (from Market) $5, SVOX Victoria $4 and now I have a very large GPS system for the car with voice activated instructions. Still need a car charger for the GTablet (or use the inverter I have) and some sort of mounting system. With my car a vent type mounting system would be required. I am looking at one from www.mountguys.com that would be about $40. A total of $64 for a rocking GPS system (of course I already own a light MIO 320 that works fine but is starting to flake out at times, plus the GTablet is way cooler).

Google Maps works when I have network connection but IMO you really need a dedicated program with the maps installed on the unit.
[G Tablet Accessories] SirDroidAlot:
Anjenaire - Where did you get your tomtom 9001, & SVOX Victoria?
[G Tablet Accessories] anjenaire:

I got the TomTom off of Amazon (free shipping as it was with other items) but not sure who the ultimate vendor is/was. Google TomTom 9T00.001. SVOX - Victoria through the Market (also have to download the engine for free prior to purchasing the voice). I had want to get the Loquendo - Kate (or Elizabeth) but only saw Loquendo - Susan on the market (what we Americans don't want to hear a british voice?)
[G Tablet Accessories] SirDroidAlot:

[G Tablet Accessories] anjenaire:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002CN33HA/ultragps-20/ $29.95 plus $3.25 shipping

Looks like the same unit as the TomTom
[G Tablet Accessories] SirDroidAlot:
Thanks a lot! I just purchased it! Should I still hook it all up using Co Pilot USA & SVOX Victoria?
[G Tablet Accessories] anjenaire:
IMO you need an application like Co-Pilot. (And for $4.99 out of the market not much to risk). You can plan your routes off-line so to speak and then bring to the car and have it navigate once it connects to the GPS signal. Plus the maps are stored on your SD Card (Supposedly you can move them to your SD@ card but I haven't attempted that yet). I would wait until you have the GPS unit in hand, make sure it connects to google maps, is operational and then purchase Co-Pilot from ALK.

Or maybe not. It took two days for Co-Pilot to "see" my purchase on Google and then it was another hassle getting it installed (needs to register with ALK). There is supposed to be a trial period but I never got that to work so I went ahead and purchased. Several emails later and downloads from them that didn't work, I think it all came to the fact that the Google purchase didn't get into their database right away and the unit was looking to register the software. So I would definitely understand that there will be a delay in activating Co-Pilot. You might want to get the ball rolling early on the purchase of the Co-Pilot application.

But the good news is once it was up and activated (registered) it worked swimmingly. The UI is a bit different than I was used to but it works and routes quickly (and doesn't tell me that the route has changed if I start freelancing -- could be a good thing or bad thing depending on your situation -- and switches to another route).

Since the tablet is so large, I can't really dashboard mount it so voice directions are a must. If you are on a modded machine (like Vegan-Tab b5.1) you can activate the built in voice engine Pico. It has a robot voice that will work. I just happened to like the dulcet tones of Victoria better but YMMV. And for an additional $3.99 what the hey. (In fact with WordPlayer I was able to have "her" read to me an ePub book that might be handy on long trips).

My next quest wrt to the GPS is to sync the GTab up to my Motorola BT hands free device and have the voice come from there (and I can then play through my radio sound system). Annoying perhaps but technologically possible.

Good luck.

copilot not activating

Anjenaire- how did you get CoPilot activated? I've been going back and forth with CoPilots support team, but to no avail. How did you activate it?
[G Tablet Accessories] anjenaire:
It took three days for it to show up in their system from the time I purchased it on Google. Once the purchase was recorded in ALK's system, Co-Pilot activated without issues. Up until that time I was downloading files suggested by ALK support and working with ALK support but nothing they suggested worked. Once it hit their system, as verified by both email messages and trying the apk again, the market download worked fine with my device (I switched to Vegan-Tab b5.1 to get the voices to work after I had it working on TnT-Lite 3.1).

Wish I had better news but I think it all requires ALK to put the code in their database somewhere. Be sure you are connected to the internet when attempting to register. I had assumed it was trying to use "phone" connection but know I am thinking that is not the case. Be sure to make a back up before installing any new roms at a minimum. I had some "market issues" (since resolved) and didn't have a backup and it caused some small panic on my account for a few hours. I do have it backed up now.
[G Tablet Accessories] sanvara:
