When is this so called 2.2.1 update coming ota? I've read online that there is a leaked version for those rooted but I'm not and I want my ota update damn it! I asked a rep this weekend and he said "in the next two months" but he also said the same thing when i asked when lte was coming out...oh those silly Verizon workers
[Droid X General] gio2005:
the reps in store probably do not know when the update is due out.
[Droid X General] hullie10:
Yeah... I like asking them questions just to see what how they will answer ya know? But does anyone have any info on the release date?
[Droid X General] Steven58AF:
There are no dates yet, officially or unofficially. Just stay tuned. :)
[Droid X General] jwangle:
Motorola won't even admit the leak is their work. Get on motorola owners forum you will see the lack of communication on motorolas part. They also refuse to provide any information about possible update timelines... They operate their business like they do their boot loaders...
[Droid X General] Steven58AF:
+1 lol :D

still chuckling.
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Does anyone know what the update is going to (in theory) fix? Any sort of changelog?
[Droid X General] PhilDX:
the last official communication from Motorola is here:

[Droid X General] bigxie:
While the leak runs like a finished product, there's no guarantee that it's ever coming OTA anyways. It does fix most of what was posted in the link above.

Also, I believe that VZW rep was right about LTE :D
[Droid X General] almost.infamous:
LTE was launched yesterday(Dec. 5)! As far as a 2.2.1 OTA... only time will tell.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Vegamo:
Hi, im running CM6 RC2 on Mytouch Slide, I partitioned the SD using Rom manager into 32-512 format (8 GB SD card)/

However, Im thinking about replacing Clockwork Recovery with Amon Ra's latest Recovery So I can have access to the EX2 To EX3 and EX3 to EX4 cache thing.

Now just to let you know, Im not really that tech savy, I don't really know what that does but I think it's supposed to make your phone run faster?

Can anyone please help me and explain if this is necessary? What does the EXT2 To EXT3 do? Will it improve my performance?

Im just really confused about the whole thing, I thought partitioning your SD card alone is what automatically makes your phone have more memory, and now I hear about EX2 to EX3, Im confused. HELP PLEASE.
[Epic 4G General] brianhuangbh:
Hey guys. So I just flashed the Quantum rom, after a while of holding back, and everything went well. I restored a backup from clockwork, and I had all my apps/data back. The Swype, however, wasn't back to how it was. It was stock Swype, and I had used a MetaMorph Swype theme I modified myself. No big deal, I thought, since I had the modified Swype.apk on my SD card, so I went into Root Explorer and tried to copy the Swype from my SD card over to /system/app. (Which was how I installed it previously) It says it works, but when I open swype again, it's still the old one. I tried restarting my Epic, but it was still the old Swype. So I tried just pushing the Swype.apk to /system/app using ADB, but it gave me an error:

It never gave me this error before, and I even checked my Root Explorer previously and made sure I had mounted as R/W and not as R/O.

Thanks, guys. :confused:
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] scarter68:
Is there a free office app that anyone has gotten to work on the g tablet yet that will allow you to open and edit MS office docs?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ewitte:
Documents to Go. I used 2.0 from the apk but 3.0 installed fine after I got market working.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] popezaphod:
That's not free to edit docs, though.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cartoonsandchaos1:
Docs

A decent set of applications for editing documents is what we really need. It is probably the most important thing to me. Until there is a application that rivals iwork on the ipad it will always have a one up with people that need the productivity applications.

Google docs is working OK, and it is free, but still not great.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thaigai:
doesn't quickoffice work on the gtab? I believe it was in the tntlite/gapps apk. might want to give that one a try. I was hoping it did, but have not downloaded or installed it yet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] popezaphod:
IIRC it's still only a viewer. You can buy QuickOffice or a comparable app for $10-$15 on the Market. But they are designed for phones and do not take advantage of screen real estate (e.g. no toolbars, etc.).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dragonfly1113:
Not sure if it works on the G Tablet since I did not get mine yet to mess around with it yet but I know Google Docs is just a free website and you can edit all types of office program documents. May just have to maybe use the browser and go to docs.google.com
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aabbondanza:
Take a look at 'goodintentions' site. He has a link to Quick Office HD which is MS Office compatible.

http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/download.htm
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nvanlaar:
Quickoffice HD is very good if you are running one of the Honeycomb varients. Otherwise the standard Quickoffice Pro is pretty good as well. No, they are not free, but you get what you pay for...

BTW - you have to purchase "Pages, "Numbers," and "Keynote" seperately on the iPad to the tune of $10 each. With that in mind Quickoffice is a bargain.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] scyld:
Honestly, I've found that the free Olive Office Premium works better for some uses than even some of the non-free office apps. I've used it on my G Tab with Thumb Keyboard, and it's pretty decent. Like I said, sometimes I use it even over the office suites I purchased, namely Quick Office and Documents to Go.

It's simply stupid that there is no port of Open Office to Android. There's no reason for it as far as I can tell.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Radon_22:
Thanks for the tip, scyld. I still prefer QuickOffice, but this looks as good as it gets for free.

By the way- it seems to work fine using the Adam keyboard found elswhere on this board.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] goodintentions:
Actually, the quickoffice HD available on my site works wonderfully on the gtab froyo and ginger roms. I just used it to type out a very long letter to religious leaders.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nvanlaar:
Is it legal to distribute that (Quickoffice HD)? I just shelled out $20 for my copy (worth every penny).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] goodintentions:
The one I'm hosting is pulled from the NI adam tablet. It's a tablet oriented qoffice.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] popezaphod:
I'm trying out that QuickOffice HD from the site on the Flashback HC ROM and it force quits whenever I try to either open a file or browse for one.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nvanlaar:
There are two varients of QuickOffice HD. The version NI Adam version is ok for all ROMs (I think), but the purchase version is dubbed HD Pro and is only usable on HoneyComb and is slightly different than the standard HD version. I'll try and post screenshots later.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abdostar:
hello folks,

I have seen some threads talking about some WM device freezing in bootup, and stick in the 1st screen when it says "stick together", I had the same problem, and I did contacted HTC for support, it seems they dont have a solution for that problem but to send the phone to them, whicj gonna take around 10 or 15 days to get back -if the warranty still in effect- and they probably gonna charge you something more than the shipping back fees, cause you flashed your device.

I was Planing to send my phone this monday, but i though lets try something and see what gonna happen, so what i did is :

1 - take you SIM card and your SD card, (don't connect your phone to your PC)

2 - While holding the VolUp press the Power button, you will see a screen with your device information

3 - Now connect your device to you PC, and use one of the Wm costume ROM, don't worry about the guide line, and about the winSync instruction, cause it do work without windows Sync

4 - follow the instruction on the costume ROM application, and just ignore the WmSync one.

your phone will reboot, and you probably gonna see your device radio and room information.

I just did the sameting to fix my device, I don't know if just got lucky

But I do have a problem now, I cant install android on my device, and when i try to lunch CLRCAD, it does not start, even when i lunch haret, the device reboot, if someone know a fix to that problem, so may help me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bravo261:
dude, out of your three posts, two have been new threads that are strictly related to user-problems in a developmental sub-forum, which just isn't cool.

its like someone walking into your work meeting and asking about the lunch schedule (not the best analogy, but you get the point)

if you're really stuck in something, a hard reset always restores things nicely
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abdostar:
i'm just trying to stay in the dark, waiting for the moment to say something useful, by the way hard reset does not work all the time
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JonSolo:
The only time a hard reset does not work is if there is something wrong with your phone or somehow you corrupted your ROM. In that case going into Bootloader and upping a new ROM does the trick. A Task29 will really fix things well.

As far as "launching" CLRCAD...it does nothing ANYWAY! You just tap it and that is it...it merely sets up the phone for Android to have sound, nothing more...no prompts, no hour glass nothing. (A SEARCH or reading the first post would have told you this.)

If you get resets in Haret then Android did not load correctly. Merely delete your data.img and start over. If that does not work then you likely corrupted your Android build....format your SD card and reload Android from scratch.

I personally have backed up my working daily build on a weekly basis so in case my Android gets hosed, I merely have to copy my entire backup (which is just a copy of my SD card on my computer) back to the SD card after a format (but have yet to really have a need for this except months ago).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] carlsbad0331:
I called Zagg on Friday and was basically told they have a record of only (1) replacement being shipped. Yet I received one on Wednesday and then another on Friday.

So, since they dont have a record of it... even after I told them that I would send it back... Does someone here want it?

I already sent in the defective one that did not fit correctly.

No charge... First person to send me a PM who has a G2 gets it.

I will post here as soon as it has been given to someone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinconti:
How do you change where config files and libraries are stored for a particular apk? I want to move some config files to /system but I don't know how to get the app to recognize them once I move them. I already decoded the thing and have access to all the smali files, but don't know what to do with them. If anyone could just point me in the right direction so I could learn more about this, about what file tells the install where to look, that would be fantastic. Like, why does a library work if it is in /system/lib/ OR if it is in /data/data/apkname/lib/?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrow224:
I have a Desire, A8183. Not rooted, no custom roms, just the standard Android 2.1 from Telstra.

I use HTC Sync 3.0.5481 on Windows Vista x64 Sp2.

My computer can recognise the Desire, HTC Sync will recognise that a Desire is connected. Desire recognises that it it plugged in to a computer.

However, nothing will sync. In the two attachments, see in the overview page, that "Sync Now" is greyed out. I cannot click on this.

In the calendar page, I cannot click on anything. Clicking on the "off" button doesn't do anything, and all the options are greyed out, unable to be clicked on.

I have tried uninstalling HTC Sync and the driver, and then reinstalling both, but this did not work.

I tried plugging the Desire into different USB ports, this didn't work either.

Not sure how to disable USB debugging mode, as I can't find it in Android 2.1.

Disregard the last synced date in the general screen, as HTC Sync says one thing, and my Desire says last sync was 4:34pm 17 November 2010.

I have created calendar events in Outlook 2007, but they have not been synced across. I have created events in the Android calendar, but they have not been synced across.

The thing is though, it used to work.

What can I do to make it work again?

Last, but not least, yes I tried searching, but I tried all the suggestions but they didn't work. Unless of course my search-fu is not so good.....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
similiar problem here. i went back to version 2
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrow224:
So I downloaded HTC Sync 2.0.40 just then.

It doesn't even recognise that my Desire is plugged in. The Desire itself says that it cannot find HTC Sync on the computer.

Is there a version between 2.0.40 and 3.0.5481?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
not to my knowledge is the desire being picked up in device manager?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrow224:
Yes it is.

But now it does work with 2.0.40. Very strange.

Edit: So apparently I also have 3.0.5481 also installed. I checked with 2.0.40 to find updates, downloaded a driver update file from HTC. This was USB Driver 3.0.5481, not HTC Sync 3.0.5481. Maybe this updated driver has fixed it.

Screenshots and Documentation

So here's what you need to know about Blinky. Screenshots are based on Blinky 2.0.2, 2.1, and 2.1.1 where appropriate.

What Blinky Looks Like

View attachment 457396

Enhanced BLN

Due to interface between BLN and the system, certain issues arise such as notifications that come and go. In order to better handle these cases, I've provided a flashable zip file in the main post to make the system more robust. In testing the first version it was found some ROMs don't have /tmp (which is generally a bad thing) so as a result Blinky will inform you of what you have.

View attachment 457397View attachment 457398View attachment 462749

The very first line and color should be a clue.

Red - it is strongly recommended you install the flashable piece.

Yellow - you might want to let your ROM maintainer know that /tmp is missing (designgears already knows about this on Perception). No longer happens as of 2.0.3.

Green - you've got nothing to worry about.

Times

The times are entered in milliseconds. 1000 milliseconds = 1 second. Thus 5 minutes is 3000000 milliseconds.

As of 2.1, time is entered as "minutes:seconds.milliseconds".

Options

View attachment 464225View attachment 462738View attachment 462739View attachment 462740

Enable Blinky

On means Blinky does something, off means standard BLN behavior.

BLN Enabled

On means the lights will flash, off will disable the lights, vibration depends on the vibration settings.

Time between BLN checks

Time in between checks for a new notification or one that went away. This time is approximate, based on the system, and uses very little power @ 5 seconds.

Time to leave the light on

Amount of time the light is on when blinking.

Time to leave the light off

Amount of time the light is off when blinking.

Time to blink

How long to let the blinking go on before just staying steady. Blinking uses some power, so if you're away from your phone for a long period of time, this will turn off the blinking to save power.

Enable vibration

Enables vibration and the options.

Vibrate delay

Time between the start of vibrations. The vibration time is fixed at 750 ms. This is the time between starts, not the time between stop and start.

Stop vibrating after

Stops the vibrating after a certain amount of time, just like blinking above.

Save Settings

Commits all your changes.

Test Settings

Creates a notification for you to test with. You must not pull down the notification bar. Hit the power button after clicking this to test.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
2.2.3 Beta.

Can install the lib without flashing.

New test button.

Fixed some bugs discovered with Perception 9.

This is very early, so if it breaks you, you're SOL.

Let me know how it works.

Changes include:

New Test Button

Button for pushing the lib onto your device

Vibrate disabled by default

Fixed bug where automatically enable BLN on startup wouldn't disable

If this goes well it will likely migrate to the market.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bulletproof1013:
Awsome bob thnx
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Reefermattness:
Works great initially. Lets see what it does to battery. :D Thanks dude just what I was hoping for... now lets get those chasing/fading lights for charging status. :p lol
[Captivate Themes and Apps] LamboDroid19:
Works great so far. I always like to try new(Beta) things. Thanks Guardian Bob.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
Working Great. Might want to let people know this will only work if they have a kernel with BLN. (Right now only froyo kernels are i900 Kernel. 2.1 has atinm's and unhelpful's)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] peachpuff:
Ya knight rider style lights :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
I should clear this up early, as of now I don't have access to the individual lights, only the group of them.

Yes, there appears to be a led behind each light, as demonstrated when you touch one and it goes off. If that behavior is implemented in the hardware, as I suspect, it is unlikely that I'll ever have the ability to control each led.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] woeds:
How are you achieving the blinking? Using wakelock?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
While I don't really want to go into the nitty gritty details, the short answer is yes, I'm using a cpu only wakelock.

Given the *vast* majority of power used is by the screen, and I'm using a Timer to achieve the blinking, the amount of CPU used by my app is minimal. That said, since I'm holding the lock other tasks can run, potentially using CPU as well. If of course, they are good citizens then the CPU only wakelock case should have been handled by them.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bshouse:
I like app. It is much better at getting my attention.

It would be nice if it would blink every second as you describe for the first 5 minutes and then stop. Just like any LED indicator, a "night time" mode could halt notifications until wakeup hours could save a little battery.

Keep up the good work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Captivate-me:
This is really awesome! Works great on my Captivate...thank you for sharing:D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
Do you believe it is possible that we could get access to the GPIO address that controls the lights. If we can, i believe we can control individual lights with different bits in the memory address.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Is it possible? Sure, anything is possible. And you're assuming a lot, including that the memory mapped address doesn't contain reserved bits that would do bad things if you happened to write to them.

Here's the thing I'm looking at, Samsung had to follow the Android standards for the LightService, which has the features of on/off, color, and blink if the hardware supports it.

With that, they'd have to replace the framework to make the individual lights go off when you touched them. They may have done this but I don't see evidence of it. The other case, as I stated before, is if you have a capsense microcontroller, it would be trivial to implement the blink functionality without the software getting involved. This seems more likely right now. Especially considering the fact that only one light goes out when you touch two buttons. To have any chance at doing things in real time, they'd need to thread it, at which point you'd likely see both buttons dim, not just one.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
Gotcha.

On another note, my BLN Stopped blinking, I've tried re-installing blinky and stopping and starting the service again. No Blinking
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Weird, any particular notification you're seeing that with?

I'm going to re-write portions of the code to better deal with notifications without the screen being turned on, so I imagine I'll fix that as well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
after i rebooted it starting flashing again, however after one notification, it stopped blinking for all following notifications
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
It wouldn't blink for me? I am running Perception 5 and have BLN active. I installed via root manager and hit the app to get it running. Never got any blinking from google talk, missed phone call or text message. I changed permissions and tried and still nothing, and did not start even after a reboot. Any idea about what else I should try?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] curti.nogg:
No problems yet. Hasn't seem to affected battery life.
