Hi

I want to know, which part of Windows Mobile OS, handles SIM card? Like sends commands to SIM card and receives response and handles Antenna etc.

Is there any information about it available?

Or at least tell me how can I debug entire Windows Mobile OS so maybe I'll be able to find it.

Thanks

Just updated to ADT 8.0.0 for Gingerbread goodness, and now it won't compile a project that compiled perfectly well on the previous version with the following error:

[2010-12-06 20:55:23 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: null
[2010-12-06 20:55:23 - DummyAndroidProject] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null

I've narrowed this down to the fact that my Android project references a pure Java Eclipse project I have in the same workspace, which is a platform-neutral library I wrote myself. I confirmed by creating a blank Java project with an empty class, and a blank Android project that referenced the Java project as a library. This triggered the above dex error.

Has anyone else encountered this? I'm sure I'm not the only one who references external projects in this way?
[Android Software Development] Goonie2:
I got the exact same problem. Have you found a solution?
[Android Software Development] johnsto:
Nothing yet. Going to report it as a bug and see of this behaviour is intentional. I certainly hope not.

As a workaround, manually including the library as a .jar should work...
[Android Software Development] johnsto:
Ok, now got it logged as bug 13000 (!) right here.

My current workaround is to link the source of my Java project to my Android project (right click Android project, 'Build Path' > 'Link Source')
[Android Software Development] johnsto:
FYI, Google have just pushed out AT 8.0.1 that fixes this bug. Hooray!

My Corporate Exchange emails stops working at random. I have to go through the entire process of deleting the exchange account and setting it up again. I am not sure what is causing the issue.

I initially had the same issue with the Stock rom , then Ji6 and now have same issues with the Bionix rom Stock kernel/JI6.

If I go back and change the server, then revert it back to the correct one it will work fine. I just wanted to know If I am the only one having the issue, if not if there is anyone who was able to get the issue resolved.

Any feeback is appreciated. Yes I did search using the search option in Captivate, Fascinate & the Vibrant forums.

[Focus General] dahrat:
ive noticed the galaxyS/Captivate and the Focus are very similar in hardware except for the memory card syncing with the phone itself and the cpu focus:snapdragon / galaxys/captivate hummingbird, so i was wondering if anyone is working on it already or maybe attempting to gather information on a new beginning for this phones journey into xda :p
[Focus General] Bwyan Benton:
I havent heard anything about anyone trying to port android to the focus or any WP7 phones yet...but it may come in the future...im not sure if its possible or not...but im pretty sure these XDA devs can make it happen.
[Focus General] dahrat:
i hope xda is the first i might not post much and lurk more but if its any site i want to see catch a big fish its here <3

android on WP7

Theoretically is possible now that the WP7 is jailbraked.... it just has to be installed as a partition on the drive, as we can no longer run it from within WP7 and get all its features running. This is because WP7 will not let you stop processes that belong to other apps like phone or the UI so android can be booted like we do on WM (correct me if I'm wrong.....I don't think I am). Also the encoding of wp7 storage is tricky and partitioning it is hard....ask the guys trying to install WP7 on the HD2.....I'm pretty sure that we will see it done very soon as it only needs a loader program in the beginning of the phone to choose your operating system...like we see when we have Linux and windows on our PC.

As for the other part of this is the drivers that are not developed in droid for the focus.....maybe the captivate looks like the same phone but inside can be a hole new ball game. We have a led flash on our cameras which something tells me the camera is not the same. The captivate have a hummingbird processor as the focus has a snapdragon (but i don't think this would be a problem as a lot of other DROIDs have snapdragon). Samsung maybe just "semi-cloned" the look of the device because the captivate is one of the most selling phones they got. The internals can be completely different
[Focus General] Latz:
Hi All

I was hoping someone might know if there has been any development on the Samsung Focus as far as getting Android on to it and getting WP7 off?

I've got the option of taking a Captivate but I really like the SnapDragons and I prefer the outer case of the Focus.

Anyone heard anything more about Android on the Focus recently?
[Focus General] Latz:
Anyone know? I'm going to give this phone back today if not as I have searched and searched and can't find anything on it :-(
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Why? Hummingbird is faster than SnapDragon in many ways (the only reason Focus does not use Hummingbird is because WP7 only support SnapDragon chip at this time). If you want Android, get Captivate or other Android phones. There is no sense to spend money to buy a WP7 phone and hack it that way. Although Android is open source, phone hardware drivers are not. Devs can only working on getting ROMs assembled using phones with similar hardware. But Samsung never has any Snapdragon android phone before.
[Focus General] ITDRAGON:
LOL :rolleyes: how would you go about partitioning off the memory? With the way WP7 integrate external memory with the internal memory? Thus there would be no storage because you can't even see anything stored on the SD. Androids also run on a 4 button system, WP7's have only 3. Some of the hardware isn't the same, and even every galaxy class phone has diffrent hardware. Go buy and android phone or an HD2 if you hell bent on running 2 OS. Also if you would've read the WP7 development forum as to why not to ask this question you'd know why they are not doing it.
[Focus General] ITDRAGON:
Here's your answer

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949042
[Focus General] Latz:
There's plenty of sense if you prefer the look of the phone over the android equivalent? Besides, a lot of us (including me) bought the HTC HD2 as a WinMo then changed it to run Android when we could have just bought Android phones?

They managed to get Android working on the HD2 which has a Snapdragon? :-)
[Focus General] Latz:
I'm sorry I must be missing something? all the link says is to read the stickies, would you mind pointing me to the forum that they are referring to? I have searched but mustn't be typing in the correct string...

Oh, on the point of WP7's memory allocation - I think you need to read up on it a bit more too as there is a way you can seperate the SD.

Got a captivate yesterday anyway... not sure if I'll keep it though, might move to the Desire HD - it's much more like my HD2 which I really liked.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Because the HD2 Android counter part, EVO, is a Snapdragon phone. I said Samsung does not have a Snapdragon Android phone out there. It is very difficult to use ROM parts from other manufacturers.

Remember Devs are mostly called Chefs. They mix and pick different parts and assemble them into ROMs. They are not developing them like from source code to ROMs. They can only work on the parts that are offered by phone makers, not from scratch.
[Focus General] lyriquidperfection:
Thread Closed! Hardware may be very similar but the architecture is very different. Would be too much of a time consuming job regardless for the moment. This question has also been asked many times. Please search the Windows Phone 7 related forums before posting. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
Just received this in my email. check it out
[EVO 4G Accessories] ariel7978@gmail.com:
Wahoo! Just ordered it!
[EVO 4G Accessories] pimpEvo:
Ordered!!! The kickstand looks better. Hopefully it won't break like the otters
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
Here here! soon as i get the GD otterbox people to refund me my cash, i'll be ordering a Ballistic.....actually, i might wait for the all-black model
[EVO 4G Accessories] edlex:
I ordered as soon as I got the email. They're not too far from Miami so hopefully I'll get it soon after they start shipping.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
waiting for the all black.

watched the video again and they changed it.. the kickstand looks thin, so i dont know... also they said the holster is optional, this wouldnt be good cause 49 bucks for just the case when others sell it with everything sucks. yeah the case is heavy duty but i dont know.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
It says "Includes a very durable holster" on the pre-order page. Where does it say the holster is optional? Not that I use it much, but for $50...
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
watch the video, the girl says it. about 2:08 in the video.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
crrrrap

10char
[EVO 4G Accessories] elapshtc:
prolly just a mess up in the video.

also why make the gray/black one first, I mean really
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I think the grey/black looks slick. I'm holding out for OD Green.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:
She is saying "optional" as in it's optional to use it. The holster is included with the case.

The coupon code gives you $5 off and free shipping for a total savings of $19.99. So they normally charge $15 for shipping!???? Thats just plain ridiculous. I was going to preorder, but I think I will wait for them to hit Amazon. Their iPhone 4 cases are going for $27.99 with free shipping on Amazon.

[EVO 4G Accessories] DarkPhoenix:
Ordered the Grey/Black one. I was going to wait for the all black one but the Grey/Black has grown on me over the last month or so of drooling over them on the website.
[EVO 4G Accessories] uget2seconds:
this case is a beast! I could probably throw this at someone without hesitation!

But without adding the "optional rubber silicone case" i dont think the 3500 will fit like the defender did "ghetto rigged" like OP said in the other thread.

Love the looks of the Ballistic case though!

damn u battery ! -shakes fist-
[EVO 4G Accessories] edlex:
The pre-ordered the grey/black since it was actually one of my preferences along with the red/black. I already have the defender in all black.
[EVO 4G Accessories] cyberone3:
i just ordered the black/grey one 44.99

ships the 12/13
[EVO 4G Accessories] Shushunmire:
Still waiting for the Red/Black combo....
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
what makes this any better than the otterbox defender?

this looks like it would be almost impossible to slide out of your pants pocket
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I have a Trident Cyclops for my wife, she also likes to wear tight pants. It a great case with excellent protection and relatively slim.

The Defender has had some complaints regarding quality. They tried a different manufacturer, so that may be part of the problem.
[EVO 4G Accessories] edlex:
For me the major difference is the fact that the speakers are also protected where on my defender the speakers are open.

Will it be possible for us to get 2.3 ported on the milestone?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Backdraft11:
We haven't even got official 2.2 yet...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dexter_nlb:
needs higher memory requirements like 512Mb, so only Miletone2 and in 2012..

(it took 1yr for milestone1, so thats easy to estimate from now+12months)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lesiroth:
Is that really true? What would require higher memory than Froyo? I don't see anything in the features which would require 512MB..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
Guys: let's focus on what is REALLY important from 2.3. We don't need all those features...I mean: we WOULD like to get them all but I think it's a hard challenge for developers (the upgraded kernel hasn't even been released for 2.2, I don't want a 2.3 with battery draining and kernel_issues just becuase of Motorola laziness...). I just need a 2.1 (which covers all the "basics" of what a smartphone MUST do) with some improvements from 2.3! I'll start with mine:

1) New Keyboard: I really want to try the new keyboard and think shouldn't be so difficult to port it to 2.1 (just a hope!)

2) Download manager: not a must-have but hey...would be useful!

3) New UI and "smoother" animations: I'm quite sure this is almost impossible to port..

4) Support for WebM: see above...

By the way maybe the whole gingerbread can run on 2.6.32 kernel! So a good porting would be ready when motorola releases the official 2.2 sbf. Am I correct?

EDIT: Look at these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AAFF9PN-WU&feature=channel

Youtube 2.0 is also available for 2.1! I can't notice any difference with 2.3! :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCgf8RW7B88&feature=channel

Newer streetview and Maps navigation are available on 2.1...No voice controls though! :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 89luca89:
And also (correct me if I'm wrong)

Probably some features like GPU accelleration in openGL 2.0 may be a little difficult to port over right?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] razer54:
it's a sweet dream... but i would be awesome :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
@89luca89: I didn't see anywhere that 2.3 supports GPU acceleration! O.o This would be AWSOME especially for the browser!! How have Opera's guys been able to enable hw acceleration on their browser? Do you think it would be also possible on custom browsers like Dolphin or is that a "Presto" (the Opera's rendering engine while Chrome's one is Webkit) feature? Thanks!

@razer54: Being sincere...I'd really like (read as NEED) a smoother browser than smoother animations...Launcher Pro is smooth enough for me! :D And menus scrolling is too! The only one who lacks smooth interaction (scrolling, pinch2zoom etc.) is the browser! But, as I wrote above, there could be the possibility to port Opera's hw acceleration on a browser like Dolphin (or the stock one being the source code public). Couldn't it?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] BalinorNZ:
I presume everyone has seen this:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3-highlights.html

Heaps of the new improvements look awesome, improved responciveness, native audio control, new keyboard, dalivik garbage collector, native voip, updated video drivers - all this stuff would make lots of apps (including games!) much better on Android.

I really hope game devs start getting serious about Android with the approah of the Playstation phone and Android 2.3 available. I'm no expert but I assume while some things like the new keyboard may be possible to port back to 2.1 or 2.2 on milestone, we will never see the bulk of 2.3 on our phones.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
Ballinor I almost forgot to ask if copy&paste can be ported from 2.3!! O.o

EDIT: Ok I changed my mind...I NEED Gingerbread!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me that will be possible to install it on Milestone! :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mousiope:
can someone port the new keyboard? there´s already a couple of leaked keyboards but they all appear small on our precious .... its like a hyper compact keyboard ....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] greglord:
I'm sorry but what you're saying is mostly a dull statement. I wouldn't expect this coming from you at all, seriously. You didn't even explained what would need more memory. Its clearly stated the most of the higher specs would be used for new Multimedia standards and gaming improvements (Concurrent garbage collector being one of them!).

It took a bit more then half of year for Milestone 1 to get unofficial 2.2, the biggest problem being unlocked boot loader.

This is the same thing as telling its impossible to get Froyo to G1. Officially, that is correct. Unofficially, Cyano and everyone in XDA and other communities are doing everything to keep G1 alive. And I can tell you, Froyo on G1 is working smooth and without problems.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] max_3000:
The 512mb of RAM is a statement from Google. They just want less fragmantation in android devices.

What that really means is it'll probably run on the Milestone if we didn't have that damn bootloader..

It'll probably be ported to the Droid.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] greglord:
It will be ported to Milestone too..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] heorung:
Yup,but without proper kernel
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] puffo81:
I hope so!!!

Unfortunately I'm not an expert in programming, but I'll give all my support for testing!

Milestone is too young do be abandoned, it is still an optimum phone in my opinion!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] razer54:
you got a point, i wanted to speak about browsing experience when i wrote animation ^^
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kabaldan:
Can you please post a link where I can see such Google statement? Thanks.

(And to be clear, I'm not interested in links to the old rumors that have been denied and ridiculed directly by a google engineer a long time ago.)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Marcb:
i agree...

obviously we won't get all the new implementations, but it would be nice to have some of them... the easier ones to port...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Craven68:
I think one of the most important think to port it"s the jit no ? if i remember well, the jit from froyo was ported to eclair, so the one from gingerbread can be ported to froyo no ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dexter_nlb:
officially, i doubt you find any announcement from Google saying this.. but looking at products released with 2.3 or 3.0 you can easily assume hardware specs are part of the solution to give the better experience..

im sure you will see many requests for 2.3 or 3.0 on MS, but it can hardly run the motoblur from motorola, due to their extensive gadget and apps allocations, so having even more functionality more backgrounded processes and more talk on how it performs, i doubt they are looking at a milestone or htc hero edition.

As long as just parts of the improved functionality is in the 2.6.35 kernel, i doubt milestone will see it or even feel the difference although it might be possible to port the 2.3 or a CM edition... so it also comes back to disappointment of all ms users, and complaints on battery issues which goes back to all recent releases.

So if MS2,SGS , Evo etc.. are the models to receive 2.3, is that not already a declaration of requirements..

you might get the new update unofficially again, but still having the same issues to deal with...

My Fiesta is getting from A to B just as a Mercedes SEL600 does, but i think we both agree there is a big difference although both achieve the same goal. in our case running 2.3 but with what feel and experience, do you run it.

My GalaxyS and Milestone both run 2.2 right now, but do i feel a difference, oohh yah! SGS is far superiour to my old ms.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] max_3000:
Read it on Engadget a few weeks ago. Need to search for it.

@Dexter: Honestly, with my MS OC'd to 900mhz I feel my performance is comparable to my friend's iphone 4 (and I'm still running stock 2.1 EU retail).

Those extra 256mbs would be a great addition for multitasking and having lots of widgets. But if the most multitasking I'd ever do is read an email while listening to music I think 256 would be enough. Just my opinion though.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] o2xygen:
gingerbread got ported to droid eris yesterday and it has something like 288MB ram

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863156
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Uh. I have an iPod Touch 4G. 256mb RAM. Trust me, it multitasks WAY MORE than my Milestone. Sure the Milestone has an advantage in that notification bar stuff can multitask whereas the iPod has limited multitasking.

However, 95% of the stuff we do uses saved states. Browser, gmail, games, etc. Angry Birds can't even stay open to save its own life on Android. I can have Angry Birds, Installous, Convertbot, App Store, Safari, Twitter all hold its saved states in my iPod Touch. Good luck trying that on your Milestone without 5 home screen redraws :D I might be exaggerating about 5, but you get what I mean.

The whole 30fps bug is worse than anything else. 1.15 ghz won't even solve your Milestone. Angry Birds feels so sluggish compared to the iPhone version.

Trust me. I've done enough head to head comparisons, and my ex had an iPod Touch 2G that I compared to as well, while I had an iPod Touch 1G until last year.

Android needs 512mb very badly. 256mb on Android is like 128mb on iPhone. The two OSes are very different.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] max_3000:
What you described has more to do with the GPU acceleration rather than RAM.

Also I used setCPU to unlock 60fps. Angry Birds runs way better although it's still a pretty bad port. On my old N900 it ran WAYY better and both phones use the same chipset.

As far as I've read, 2.3 has waaay better GPU acceleration and general optimization. I firmly believe that 2.3 will run great if ported correctly to the Milestone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mousiope:
the 1 ghz minimum requirements rumor was sort of shutdown by someone from google saying it was 1ghz recommended ....

i mean don´t we have a 1ghz capable phone??? (overclock)

the ram is our problem

i believe/hope that gingerbread for users has more to offer than the sdk.

Matias Duarte could only come up with a couple of green icons ?? and smoother overall experience ??? c´mon.... have you guys looked at webos ????

the bootloader fiasco is our problem and always will be ...

we need to sabotage the motorola facebook page even more to get our freedom, i mean every comment on their threads is froyo on milestone and free the bootloader...

If they don´t support the phone anymore and they won´t after froyo what´s the point of the locked bootloader ?
