I wonder if there's any way to write something for the G2 so it can recognize input frmo the S4i. It's weird since it works on the incredible.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Xerott:
I honestly couldn't tell you. I thought I got them from newegg but couldn't find the order. They have a three button control on them and come with like 6 different ear inserts.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] firebert:
That's odd. I was hoping to have no other problem except some of the buttons being non-functional. It's a shame that I have to get rid of this headset:(

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] antinerd:
Well, since I woke up this old thread anyway....you could try the Headset Button Controller Trial application from the Android Market. This might give you the functionality you are looking for, and if you like it, you can buy the full app for like $3.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tijuanacartel:
Android 2.2 sets the default hostname to android_dfhjkahdjksf or something equally useless.

To override this in Cyanogen 6.1 you need to set the net.hostname property with setprop Eg:

# setprop net.hostname mickey

My problem is when I try to set this up at boot, something always overwrites my change with the default. I have tried putting it in my init.rc, /etc/init.d and /data/local/userinit.sh and it is always reset to default by the time the phone has booted.

Does anyone have any more ideas about how to permanently set the hostname? It would be a good option to have in cyanogenmod.

UP. I'm very interesting too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gene Poole:
The root filesystem is stored in the boot.img and is expanded to a ramdisk every time you reboot. For changes to be permenant, you need to extract the boot.img file, extract the kernel and ramdisk sections, modify the ramdisk image with your changes, then recombine the kernel and ramdisk to a new boot.img and reflash it. You'll probably need to do this on a linux machine that understands unix permissions and ramdisk/cpio filesystems as well as having a good knowledge of linux and unix commands. See this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551711

note: your kernel may use a different "--base 0x19200000" option when building the kernel boot image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prscott1:
Is there not a way to add a correlating line to the build.prop file?

EDIT: This doesn't work - whatever is setting the net.hostname writes out after build.prop is read.

I'm looking...

I did a search in the /system/etc directory for any file doing setprop (I'm using a miui rom) and found the following script. I did the setprop for net.hostname in there and it too is being overwritten.

search command:

grep -H -r setprop /system/etc

/system/etc/init.goldfish.sh

I'm running out of ideas other than using autostart to set it after reboot.

EDIT2: doh. I think I already knew this but it dawned on me that the default net.hostname comes from concatenating the "android_id" (found in the secure database table) to the end of "android_".

So seems more likely to reset it after reboot using a script (gscript to launch it manually or use autostart to launch it automatically at the end of reboot cycle).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaY0:
Property net.hostname originate from services.jar (ConnectivityServices.java):

// setup our unique device name
String id = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
if (id != null && id.length() > 0) {
String name = new String("android_").concat(id);
SystemProperties.set("net.hostname", name);
}

Maybe CM guys would change this to add another "if /proc/sys/kernel/hostname is different than localhost, use it for net.hostname too" condition.

I'm not using CM so it is up to you guys to make a feature request.

Another approach would be to set service in init.rc that would start your net.hostname changing script on some property being set just after net.hostname is set. You could use also:

on property:net.hostname=android_blahblah

...but that wouldn't be so handy since you will have to change that line in init.rc every time you make a factory reset.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sol Ido:
Really interesting, thx !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radadev:
Thanks a lot. I've been looking for this for the past hour or so. Traditional linux methods to set the hostname don't work... I think I'll add an option in cyanogenmod settings for this and submit it to Gerrit. Look for it to show up within the next day or two.

Are you guys talking about the homepage? Or the fact that the stock browser reverts to mobile user agent upon closing? The stock browser will not save user agent settings after being closed. Download a new broswer. Don't rely on stock.
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
The thing is... why should you have to download a different browser just to be able to view web sites in desktop mode ~ and even then different browsers don't necessarily give you a desktop view.

As an example I have Dolphin HD installed and if you attempt to access either ITVPlayer or the BBC web site you get the mobile version.
[Galaxy Tab General] risq:
sadly, you need to re-do the about:useragent everytime you completely close the browser. Also, on stock UK firmwares (Even JJ7) iPlayer doesn't work even with desktop mode selected. Need to be on JM6 or JMA for the fixed browser.
[Galaxy Tab General] jackie_jagger:

[Galaxy Tab General] ellokomen:
if you wants normal desktop browsing try Miren Browser and in the options set the Desktop version( or the ipad version, it works)

however,

some sites (like megavideo) will go further than a User Agent and try to guess if you are really on a desktop or not, to redirect you to some annoying ads and jo-games.com

if you want to avoid that use NetFront Live Browser, it's the best low level changer browser for android so far, you won't be dissapointed and its kind of tablet optimized.

Flashing through recovery? I don't think that could be done. You can only do ADB, ROM Manager, Fastboot, or flashing as a PC36IMG.zip in hboot.

As for the kernels, stick with stock on CM 6.1. Snap 8 was designed for CM6, as was Snap 7. Besides, CM 6.1 nightly (and I think RC2) is running the .35 kernel, which is what Snap 9 will be based off of.

Do a search for the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip in the dev section, put it on the root of your SDCard, boot into Hboot (vol-down & Power button).

Wait for the scan to fond the file and when it asks if you want to update, do yes, and it will flash Amon Ra onto your Phone, then you cna boot up into recovery.

Yes, you should always remove pc36img files after installing them. That way you don't run into any complications later if you try to use another file of the same sort, such as a splash screen or something.

I have a folder on my SDCard I named XDA, and then I have subfolders for ROMS, Kernels, Themes, Apps, and Utilities. I'd rename the Amon Ra file PC36IMG_amon ra.zip and move it into a folder on your SDCard so you always have it relatively handy, then you just drop the amon_ra part and move it to your root again, if you need it.

I have the same thing with the RUU for my phone

I also do the same with my boot animations, at least the ones that aren't flashable. I just never thought about making a folder. Now I can't wait to get home and re-organize my card.
