[G Tablet General] prerunnerseth:
strange i cant even get it to work with the Stock TnT Keyboard long press. I was using better keyboard before

Edit: ok i got it to come up... had to have the keyboard up... but still couldnt get it to select text.
[G Tablet General] katmandu421:
I tried ultra and can see it in keyboard option but can't activate it. When I then longpressa text box it doesn't have ultra listed, confirming that it did not activate. What's the trick,do you have to adb push like instaalling swipe?
[G Tablet General] prerunnerseth:
You have to move keyboards to the system apps folder to use them.
[G Tablet General] satishraman:
After the Ultra -trial version install, I could not find the keyboard to move to system apps folder. Where can I find the keyboard either apk or anything?
[G Tablet General] dkhilo:
I'm on TNT Lite 2.2 and in the settings I'm able to select/deselect the keyboard. Which version are you running?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I installed the trial version of Ultra keyboard and you need to go to language and keyboards in settings to tell your tablet to use it. Then when you go to a text box and long press you should be able to select it. Now, if I could just find the magic button to make the keyboard full width I would be happy...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BSFL89:
Hi Guys,

So I looked in the general android development and DINC development but did not really find much. Basically I am looking into getting into Android Development. I just graduated Clarkson University yesterday and am going to work for Procter and Gamble and am going to have a lot of free time nights/weekends and want to get into this. As for my coding experience, I do not have much in java, however, I have taken a few comp sci classes in high school and have used MatLAB and LabVIEW a lot during college as a Mech E. So I am very familiar with coding and the logic behind it, just a matter of learning a new language.

I have started by downloading the Android SDK (just updated to 2.3) and have been doing a few of the tutorials they have on developers.android site such as Hello World, however this seems more geared to developing apps, which I do have a few ideas for. But what I would like to get into right now is some ROM development for the DINC as I have a few ideas for this too and would like to start with this.

So I was wondering if anyone could give some device on how they got started? Just pulled the code from HTC and opened it up and started looking around? Do a lot of you use Eclipse for development as they seem to suggest for apps? Is there any good guides to getting into ROM development as I have not quite found any? Also does anyone have any ideas and need some help work on things, I think this would be a good way to learn.

Thank you,

Brendan

Hi all - Just got a diamond 2 from ebay . I can get everything connected no problems through wifi however with the wifi off nothing connects phone works sms works sim is showing an HSDPA connection and o2 has changed to 3g o2 . Is there any settings i have missed to connect to the internet any other way except wifi.

Tried so far all report connection error.

Weather widget

Live messenger

data connection - won't turn on

Phone is on o2 in UK.

Other thing to mention is i left this sim in the phone overnight as my old number was being transferred to it have tried a soft reset as well.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
Finally managed to find some settings hidden under about 15 different layers to change the gprs settings and connect to everything else. No idea where they are now so i'm afraid i can't help future users coming into this post but if i reflash with a different rom no doubt i will be tearing my hair out to enter them again and when i find them this time i will write them down.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
(I'm doing this from memory so forgive me if I have left something out.)

Generally if you go to Settings\Connections\Connections and I believe you go to the advanced? tab, you should see 2 connections settings, set both to internet.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
Thanks for the reply Bruce. Couldn't find it in the ROM i'm using so instead i found another way . Entered here incase anyone else comes up with the same problem.

1: goto settings>wireless controls - this also works if you go to weather and let it try to update over data.

2: click data connection - it will try to connect and fail.

3: on the failure screen click settings

4: on the settings tab adjust the internet settings for your provider in my case o2 active settings

5: click advanced and from there you can edit the details as you wish..

Hope that helps someone else out there and again thanks for the reply Bruce
[GT540 Optimus General] skribbler86:
I wonder if anyone has come across any gt540 housing aka replacement cases with different colours. I've made quite a few changes to the phones software (roms, themes, etc), so now I would also like to change the look or colour of it too. So if anyone has come across such things then please drop a link here :)
[GT540 Optimus General] optimusnewb:
I don't have any case replacement suggestions, but I also want the mod the housing and would be interested in any suggestions.

Also I'd like to remove front-facing t-mobile and LG logos - to cover them up or otherwise remove them.

I think I can break down the phone to get under the plastic cover, but I wonder what would be a good method for hiding the logos? A little black paint? Or is there a way to rub them off or actually remove them?
[GT540 Optimus General] verrox:
acetone maybe, but beware, acetone dislikes plastic and well just dont get it on the phone but maybe a drop on a earcleaner and try with that?
[GT540 Optimus General] skribbler86:
You could just respray the whole case. Sand it down then spray it. You will need a couple of different types of sprays to do it properly. Research on who to spray phone plastic. Its doable but hard and very easy to mess up. I was thinking of doing that myself but Im trying to find other things 1st before I come to that.

Its defiantly possible ive had both my GT540s disassembled and ive had everything apart, u just need to take note of were everything goes, ive made videos on how to take them apart, right to removing the screen and digitizer. a new Fascia is all that your would need or to make things easier a new fascia and screen and digi included. Search Tech2Tuts on Youtube for videos
[GT540 Optimus General] thomas1991_12:
I spray painted my housing yesterdag. Took the whole phone apart first.

Only thing I didnt spray was the digitizer. I used a glossy black color. Kind of cool, because the lg logo and 3mp icon just shine trough in the right light.

I sprayed directly on the plastic housing, without sanding or anything. Looks pretty good. But I dont think the paint is super dureable. And all the little lines around the chrome are hard to fill with paint. Used acetone btw to clean off accidently sprayed parts..

[Desire General] pal2000:
Hi all,

I have my first true issue with HTC Desire. The Htc Desire pairs with the car kit with no problems. No problems with calls but when i have the Ndrive connected the audio does not apears on the car speakers. The only way to ear the Ndrive instructions on the car speakers is to have an active call. When te call is disconnected i cannot ear the Ndrive instructions anymore.

Have someone experience this issue?

How can i resolve this?

Regards

Pal2000
[Desire General] SuperZorro:
As far as I understand this, NDrive is your nav app on you desire? In that case, your car radio needs a2dp, and not just normal Hands-Free Profile. I am guessing some apps could be developed to use hands-free profile, but default of the phone is to only send calls.

Hey everyone,

I flashed my SGS i9000m to 2.2 JK4 through using Kie last night. When I tried to use z4root to root the phone temporarily, the application crashed (no damage to the phone, since i can factory reset and wipe). However, from my understanding this app will work on 99% of the phone. So I'm curious and see if any other Bell who upgrade to JK4 have similar problem.

oh, another problem. I dont know why my clock on my SMS is screwed up. Like if you sent me a sms right now, the phone would display it was sent 6 hours ago. anyone know how to fix this ?

Thanks in advance everyone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
It has been said that z4root is not working on the jk4 firmware. RyanZA should be made aware of this.

As for your issue with texts and the timestamp... Are you using Bell or are you unlocked on a different provider?

If your not on Bell you need to install an app from the market that will fix this for you but im not sure what its called...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] D.C1986:
Thanks yiannisthegreek,

Yea. now i am pretty sure Z4root doesn't work on Jk4. So, so for those who wants to root their phone by Z4root, just wait until RyanZA comes out with a newer update.

and yea, im using FIDO at the moment. Anyone know what is the app for fixing timestamp called ?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] 106ja:
I'm with bell and z4root with 2.2 JK4 does not work for me either. Crashes after second screen and leaves device in unstable state. However, just rebooting phone is enough. (no factory reset needed).

[Hero, G2 Touch General] richuu:
Hi Chaps,

I'm getting pretty fed up with crashes, performance and low space on my Orange Hero w/2.1, as well as still being miffed by Orange screwing up everything with their tinkering of 2.1, sooooo, I'm going to flash.

But, I need some help, 'cause I think I'm just getting too old for all this tinkering lark and I'm reading up on a lot of ROMS and just can't choose - I'm reading, but nothing is sinking in!

So, I like Sense, or at least I think I do. What I actually like is contacts / Facebook integration, 7 pages of home screen and the HTC weather clock and the weather animations when I unlock the phone. I like the threaded SMS.

I DON'T LIKE: Orange screwing up the speed dial widget, running out of space, the fact that the default camera apps photos have gone 'stripey' since 2.1, (other cam apps are fine). A lot of complete hangs and force closes, including lately, something.htc.bgp force closing several times a day.

I use GPS a lot (CoPilot, Cardio Trainer, Latitude, Maps) and listen to music. The std music player is average and slow, but has some good features (headphone out pause, album art, lock screen control).

So, a lot of requests there, but I think it boils down to me needing: performance, apps2SD and reliability, and compatibility with a wide range of apps. Root not essential, since I run all the apps I need to, but I guess it comes part and parcel with flashing a new ROM. I have already installed and rooted with universal Androot.

Any help for me?

Thanks,

Rich.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brat.haneq:
Hi there

If sense is a must, look at rcmix. 2.1 with sense.

If You would like to experiment a bit You can try some of the 2.2roms, ie floyo, villain 1.6 to name a few. But it is hard to find a good dialer, and Facebook integration is on much lower level than sense roms. They should be quicker, so depends on You:) hope this helps
[Hero, G2 Touch General] richuu:
I'm not sure if Sense is a must actually... what does it give me? The 'skinned' buttons across the bottom of the screen i suppose (phone, apps and add), but there ae other apps that do this aren't there? (Launchers?). What else does sense actually do that I might miss if I don't have it?

Is Rcmix running android 2.1 as it's version number suggests? Is there nothing with 2.2 yet? I see Rcmix does appstoSD, and I think after the phone just running right, space is my next biggest issue, so I suppose it could keep me happy.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 96th:
I extremely agree with you. You have just, like, took this out of my head and put it on the forums! :)

Except, for me, the most important thing is the facebook integration. Doesn't the actual Facebook app provide that outside of sense?

something.htc.bgp is the location service, I think. After that crashing, foursquare stops working properly. I can't live like this.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] richuu:
With the Facebook intergration, I just like the way my contacts show pics from Facebook, and I get the status updates from the contacts too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 96th:
I think I'm gonna try Cyanogen. It's the most popular, I don't think much can go wrong. Still, I'm massively scared, haha!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
I agree RCMix along wit kimera2.1 are great choices wit flykernal 11c or bfs. Had both and rarely had issues. Biggest losses from not having sense is the weather clock and a decent dialer if u plan to try a 2.2 rom
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zebwen:
This might seem biased, but if you try following the instructions from this thread you will end up with a very nice, speedy hero setup. It even has info in there of a very fast, usable dialler app, as well as an app to sync your facebook contact pics.

LauncherPro Plus has a Facebook stream widget built-in, and you can either use BeautifulWidgets or FancyWidget for the clock.

Should all be in the post! (Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it looks, and its a lot to read, but might be worth it for you).

Zeb
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 96th:
Well, I got Cyanogen Mod, and so far I'm very happy with it. Definitely will try out the widgets from above :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] richuu:
Me too... went for Zebwen's suggestion above (Thanks!) and pretty happy with it. Took a bit of customisation to get it nice, but now I know how easy it is to flash, I'll probably try a few.

Am I right in thinking I can do as many Nandroid backups as I want, and later on, restore to any previous, full setup, including Apps and data?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] richuu:
Verified my own question on Nand backups.

I had a problem yesterday with the camera force closing... is this a known issue? Reboot seems to have cured it so far, but despite the rest of the ROM being fine, the camera does seem a bit 'iffy'. Exposure wouldn't adjust when using it with barcode scanner the other day.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I've read about your touchscreen failure in another thread, and while I'm very sorry for you, how can you be sure it's because of Android? I'm not saying it's not possible, but just running an OS during a failure doesn't mean the OS caused it, I can imagine some people have had touchscreen failures on WinMo too.

Just trying to keep things a little in perspective here.

1. The screen is capable of 16M colors (not 128k). WinMo only supports 65k, and I believe Android does at this point too. Pixels are unrelated to the touch sensitive part anyway.

2. Overclocking can indeed have serious consequences for your CPU (and possible surrounding parts too), and should *always* be done with caution (better to refrain from it at all actually, the small performance gain isn't worth it). I believe all kernel devs indicate the possible and imminent danger of overclocking.

Underclocking can't be a problem though, that's obvious. Extreme cooling can destroy parts, but heating it up less than usual is still not at all the same as cooling something down.

Again, I'm sorry for what happened to your phone, but I think you're somewhat overreacting.

Edit: a more likely explanation for an Android-related failure would be that your CPU somehow went insane and produced too high temperatures, breaking stuff down. This isn't typical behaviour though, and can almost always be prevented.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harpss1ngh:
The "TOUCH SCREEN" has nothing to do with the CPU, therefore no amount of overclocking will damage your "touch screen".

Has your pc monitor ever got damaged by overclocking your pc's cpu? NO

Just because your screen stopped working in Android doesn't mean that it was caused by Android.

The GPU driver would limit Android or any other OS from forcing 16m colours on a 128k screen therefore no damage would be caused to the screen itself because it is limited by the driver. The driver tells Android (or any other OS) which resolution and colour depth is supported and will only support that. Just because Android is capable of 16m doesn't mean it will force that colour depth.

This was simply a manufacturing defect in your screen and could have happened at any time, it could have happened in WinMo but just happened to happen while your phone was booted into Android.

Also be aware that the screen is TFT, and there is a separate layer called the digitizer above the actual TFT screen which senses the touch. They are separate components, therefore the screen itself isn't a touch screen.
