Hey can I help? I need to learn stuff. I want to start programing but need some help. Please pm me or let me know. Please! Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] DirtyRasa:
I too would like some direction so I can start programming. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ferman:
Well what do you know? Maybe we can throw some ideas out and get something started. For some reason the OP isnt doing anything.
[Captivate Android Development] shadowscreation:

Hi everyone I am venturing into creating themes and am currently working om some ideas. Just some scketches for an idea for a theme and a new launcher. If i get going maybe you can add it to your project as an exclusive distinct feature... count me in
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
That sounds really cool, you should hop on the irc (#qam) and maybe we can get something going, even if we only put something over Axura or Perception
[Captivate Android Development] DirtyRasa:
Well I have never made a rom before but I listed all of my skills a few posts back. If those are qualifying enough let me know. I would really like to start programming.

Also, I probably wont be able to get on to irc. Little busy today.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
We never have enough devs, but irc would be the easiest way for this to work. If you have time, come on, maybe we can start the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] shadowscreation:
You know what we need to make a bar similar to this one love the droid and carbon fiber look we can make our own but something like this would rock

And yes had to post bat stats just so stoked how good it is so far great bat life with my fun rom
[Captivate Android Development] ferman:
Alright guys!!!

We're doing some recruiting. Well kinda.

We wanna know the capabillities everyone has and what everyone is interested in learning etc.

So just fill out the spreadsheet and we'll check you out! :)

Good idea! I Just posted up.
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
looks like freenode is down. I can't access it can anyone else?

[Captivate Android Development] halo45121:
Projects like these make me hate the fact that I'm a high-school student that doesn't know enough to help much.

I can do a little graphical work, or any busy work that needs to be done; no need for a dev to waste time!

Lemme know if I can help! :D
[Captivate Android Development] spartan07:
What books?
[Captivate Android Development] ferman:
Alright guys!!!

I got some news to announce tomorrow.

Expect a name change, a new irc, a website and possibly some more organisation and structure.

:D
[Captivate Android Development] spartan07:
Ki would like to get into java programming but looks like there are many devs looking to support this project. I love opensource ( on linux as my main pc) and documentation is very important in opensource. Maybe I can help with that. I'm down for anything.
[Captivate Android Development] ferman:
Help is always needed. Im sure we can find something for you to do ;)... A documentation person would actually be EXTREMELY useful! Ill look into it once we start doing stuff. ;D
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
Can't think of much I can do. I need my phone full time (no testing) and I'm baaaaaarely getting into any kind of java. However, I want to say love to see the progress on getting this started!
[Captivate Android Development] Konner920:
Well, If theres anything I could TRY to help with, I have no experience in developing. I'd be glad to learn though. Would be awesome to take place in helping.
[Captivate Android Development] NOSintake:
Not sure where you'll need me, but I'm always willing to learn. Posted my "stats" on the list. Oh, forgot to mention, I have Windows XP, Windows 7, and a Mac. So I can help on that front also
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
Just some android application books. Busy coder i believe they're called. Guys if your still interested look us up in irc.freenode.net the new channel is #teamkomin
[Captivate Android Development] timur525:
in high school as well, finals this week:mad::mad:

BUT! we have christmas break coming up so i have plenty of time for what ever!

Great progress being made guys, this is gonna be the bomb.:p

BTW: i just got another Captivate, so i can test anything and if it somehow bricks(never happened to anyone before though, except SetiroN) it wouldn't be that bad;).

[Android Software Development] starkruzr:
So, a few preliminaries:

There already exists APRSDroid, here: https://github.com/ge0rg/aprsdroid

This works well and can even speak AFSK APRS packets out over the speaker or headset jack. Cool!

However, I'm thinking more low-level stuff. I'd like to have soundmodem support available. Ideally, I'd like to be able to have the sound card in an Android device (specifically, my G2) be used exclusively for generating and listening to packet radio, creating an AX.25 network interface that can be used for axlisten, perhaps a port of Xastir, etc.

So I went poking around in pershoot's kernel config. At first I couldn't even find mention of ham radio, had to manually edit the .config to make it visible again. I don't think this is the only thing I have to do, though. For starters, what sound stack does Android use, ALSA, OSS, what? That's a starting place for getting soundmodem hooked in.

Thoughts? Anyone else tried this? I completely admit that I am probably barking up the wrong tree here, but I welcome anyone who knows what forest I should be walking through at least.
[Desire General] jimmyp22:
I've had my Desire for 3 months now (Telus in Canada) and the GPS has been disappointing. It takes minutes to get a lock, if at all and often sees only 2 satellites out in the open. Sometimes rebooting helps but not always... it just never sees more than 2 satellites. Incidentally my friend right beside me gets a lock within seconds on his Xperia.

Is my phone broken? Am I the only one experiencing GPS issues? Does the radio and/or ROM affect GPS performance?
[Desire General] saluki1:
I was having the same issue. . Install GPS Status app from market. Make GPS Satus wipe A-GPS data and download the new data.

Use GPS status to lock (patience) and make it "keep screen on" in the options menu. Keep it locked at least 15 minutes.

Then your problem should be solved. Now I am locking in 10-20 seconds.

If these does not work try to install latest radio and redo the steps
[Desire General] jimmyp22:
Thanks for the suggestion... which radio do you recommend for better GPS performance?
[Desire General] ekre:
you may check your gps.conf, its in /system/etc. if you are living in the us for example and your gps.conf contains an eu server, change it to an us server and your lock will be very fast.

i used an australian rom, it had an AU server in gps.conf, the lock was a real pain with it, i changed it to a hungarian server (where i live) and now i have a fast gps lock (within a few seconds, in my flat also)
[Desire General] tonybatty:
I'm in the UK and my NTP server is north america, would changing this to a UK NTP server improve my gps performance?

Thanks

TonyB
[Desire General] ekre:
absolutely

you should use uk.pool.ntp.org

with this, your gps lock will be 4-10 sec (in cloudy weather also)

if you would like i can make you a small patch which one will change your gps.conf ntp line to the uk server (you can do it as well with adb push / pull, or with root explorer with a r/w mounted /system)

edit: just attached a fix, flash it in recovery. it just changes gps.conf.
[Desire General] tonybatty:
Thanks.

[Desire General] IVS IVRIS:
Just tried this, and seems to be working allot better for now. Thanks!
[Desire General] IVS IVRIS:
Where can I find the server for the Netherlands / Dutch. ?
[Desire General] ekre:
here you can find the servers list by their global location.

http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/

NL server info

NL NTP server (add this to your gps.conf)

nl.pool.ntp.org

ah, nvm, here is a patch :) (flash it from recovery, or unzip the gps.conf and push it with adb)
[Desire General] IVS IVRIS:
Thanks allot! Will report about the results soon.
[Desire General] jimmyp22:
i have to say that the gps-status thing worked better than the gps.conf... no longer is it stuck at not getting locks... maybe 30 seconds at most now.
[Desire General] ekre:
you have to enable your data connection
[Desire General] longice:
Hi ekre,

would you mind creating a patch for Norway (no) as well? Don't have a clue what to do to access the conf file and edit it myself...
[Desire General] dexter93:
wow! finally found why my phone takes an hour to get gps lock...

@longice: you dont need a patch. just download and unzip the GPS_FIX-NL.zip . Then edit the ntp_server in the gps.conf (replace nl.pool.ntp.org with the appropriate server found on the ntp site) and push the edited gps.conf through adb. done! ;)

请问怎麽制作rom 制作rom需要什么工具吗？

请楼下高手回答这个问题
[Desire General] longice:
Thanks for the guidance, dexter. But that process requires root, right?
[Desire General] dexter93:
Well I don't think that adb requires root, but I am not sure. You see my desire is rooted and s-off'd so I just edited the file. Better check the adb threads (When I said flash the gps.conf I meant just that , without anything from the .zip) ;-)
[Desire General] Shoresh:
what is adb??
[Desire General] dexter93:
Adb stands for Android debug bridge and is a very useful tool for Android. More info here http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
[Desire General] mjtbenz2:
I need help

This is my first time here so I may be doing this wrong. I have an HTC Desire with O2 in the UK, model number HTC Desire A8181. I find that you lose things without any way of getting them back. For example, I lost "favorites". HTC says that I have to do a factory reset but that I will lose all my data. My phone no longer has "privacy" which was eliminated after the 2.1 version. I know I can back up my contacts to the SD card, but I want to back up my apps. Can someone help.
[Desire General] dexter93:
Well you actually are a bit off topic here( this thread is about gps issues ) . Please use the search and try to locate possible solutions for your problem from someone that has met the same or similar problem. If you are unable to find a solution then you are welcome to post your questions in a new or an already existing thread relevant to your problem.

I'm not trying to be mean but sometimes you have to do your own research,especially when it comes to commonly asked questions.
[Desire General] ice_lander:
hey Dexter i`m with Desire HD and i have not rooted my phone please tell me step by step how to edit the gps.cfg with this Adb i don`t know the right command should it be "push" or "pull" and after that what i need to do ( i`m from Bulgaria)
[Desire General] ekre:
with push, you will push (copy) a file to your phone, with pull, you will pull (copy) a file from your phone to your pc.

for example:

adb push c:\android\gps.conf /system/etc/ will copy gps.conf from c:\android to your phone in /system/etc

adb pull /system/etc/gps.conf c:\android\ will copy the gps.conf from your phone to c:\android\

btw you have to be able to write /system (full root, or in recovery (needs root as well, but without s-off if im right) remount /system in r/w)

hope that helps.
[Desire General] ice_lander:
thanks a lot bro but i think i`m not able to do all of things...first of all it`s very hard for me to run the "adb" i don`t know what to do exactly from the PC and my phone is updated with the last official HTC firmware so i can`t root it , i must run downgrade first ..witch is very very difficult :(
[Desire General] dexter93:
I don't think that downgrade is needed any more.. have you tried unrevoked? Check turkeys tut on my signature

@ ekre : do you happen to know if there's a tut on update.zip ? searched but couldn't find..
[Desire General] senna123:
ah, nvm, here is a patch :) (flash it from recovery, or unzip the gps.conf and push it with adb)[/QUOTE]

Thanks i used the flash method, installed it well, but still doesn't work.. but thanks for your help!
[Desire General] loek333:
Hi, does this patch work on an unrooted phone?

If so, please help me as well.

I live in Saudi. The nearest server seems to be Qatar(qa).

Please give some more detailed instructions to apply patch, as I did not understand what you mean by "flash it from recovery"

Can one use adb on an unrooted phone?

If so, can you give the adb commands to do so?

Is this patch persistant or will it disappear it the phone is rebooted?

Thanks for your patience.
[Desire General] marjanstrife:
hi.. can any of u guys do a patch for malaysia... Im noob in these kind of things... thx

Hello!

I use MIUI XJ rom and i check the gps.conf and the server is from china; i live in Italy and i dont use any data plan for navigation just the GPS; do i have to change the server for my country or that server is for those who are using the navigation with the gps and data plan connection? Thanks!

You can if you use adb pull and push commands (take it on pc, edit it , put it back to phone)

Search for info on these commands

Have to learn how to do that I never used adb shell commands before.

Hi,

Good News everyone! Cyanogen has just released Android 2.2.1 Froyo Custom ROMs for all the supported Android devices. So far, the EVO has made it to the forums but I guess within 24 hours we will get all the stable ROM available. Here is the reference link.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
this is a guide for I9000 international

I9000M owners please be advised that the I9000 might cause you to lose the 850 band, and might also trigger the internal SD problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kangal:
You made it into a thread, thanks!

Hopefully this might help fellow xdanians :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SH00T:
Aww Mate this is awesome, I have the same Carrier and I had OPTUS crap on my Phone from custom roms, Now I'm back to Stock Froyo!!!!

A great tool to Start from afresh.....

But

At Instruction E11 - Select your product code from the drop down Box and it will populate the next field for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wayne_zmh:
Gonna put into my favorites
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Wow.

I don't think anybody that don't now much would read that.

I know allot and i would never use it either.

You should stick a warning sign on this tread.

I did read about half of it and then i just stop and shake my head.

I hope this tread is a joke.....

Sent from GT-I9000 jpo. My own kernel for z4mod and with 342MB Ram
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kangal:
Can you elaborate?

Joke? No it's no joke but I should disclose (as always) this is a tried-and-true way of getting you to update your software but in no way can I be held responsible for damages.

Things may vary slightly in between different phones which is why the links for each source/thread is up there.

I found myself knowing what to do, but always guessing how to do it.

This is a step-by-step process of how and what I did to upgrade my phone to any ROM I want.

If this was posted up before I attempted my upgrade, I would've been so happy that someone really simplified it for me :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nagrom78:
This is a noobs guide??!!! Simplified??!! I think that everyone will appreciate the time you have spent typing this up and trying to help, but I'm with DamianGto, dude this guide is scary and just explains how YOU got YOUR particular phone running froyo and lets face it, you certainly didn't go about it the easy way!

Once again I think the time you have spent and the willingness to help is admirable, but there are much simpler and noob friendly guides out there
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kangal:
Well you need root + busybox to get the 3 button fix.

If anything a n00b did, they can recover with 3 button trick otherwise they will have a brick.

This is why this guide is long, to ensure things are a-ok.

If you found a friendlier guide can you post the link, much apprecated ;D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cosminnn:
How do I exit downloading mode if I forgot to erase update.zip ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] intruderbr:
What is it ? Kies

A2) Make sure you have Kies downloaded and installed on your computer

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
Well I think this is an excellent guide that has great potential!

However, a couple of crucial mistakes, which if fixed could help make the guides less confusing...

At beginning of (D) you talk about (A-C) being solely so you could fix your 3 button download (which I don't think is actually true!)

.... But, you should mention 3 button download at the very start of the guide anyway!!

Also, you should include a quick test at the very start to check for 3 button download, because mine is already fine, so a newbie might run all those extra steps when they already had working 3 button download anyway! (The more sections that can be skipped the better!). You can then steer people to the sections they uniquely will need.

However, titanium backup isn't needed for 3 button download fix, but is a wise step before running a rom update. And this works best with root anyway. Hence I don't think your opener for (D) is very accurate. You didn't just complete those steps JUST to get download mode. The backup was important anyway!

Do others think there should be a stage added for backing up contacts etc?

A stage for backing up efi?

Anything else wise that should be in here?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitoro:
Hope all guru here could help me answer few question I'm doubt recently. I'm new to vibrant and android sorry if my question are too noob for u guys....

1) recently i had flash my vibrant to jk6 rom. I found there are still having GPS problem. Is it vibrant has hardware issues on GPS?

2) everytime i flashing new rom, does I need to ODIN it back to JFD?

3) i saw quite alot ppl talking about lagfixed. what is that?

thanks you and have a nice day...

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Has anyone with a Windows Live Account tried hooking thier phone up to Hotmail via ActiveSync to see if they get HTML Email?

This is getting incredibly frustrating. I'm wondering if it comes through in the 2.2 Email Client.

I tried TouchDown for a bit earlier and it gets the Hotmail HTML Mail, but the user interface is terribad and it doesn't seem to Sync stuff until you tell it, even with Push enabled. The Options are a complete and utter mess. The widgets leave much to be desired.

Can anyone comment on TouchDown's battery drain on this phone (I run stock JI6), btw?

There's another Exchange Client on the Market but I'm not paying $25 just to check and see if it works correctly.

Anyways. Can anyone comment on the Exchange support in JK6 (or whatever the new leacked ROM is) or this TouchDown question (battery drain).
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Touchdown doesn't drain battery anymore than any other properly coded client does. As long as you're using push, drain will be minimal. I've used touchdown since it came out almost 2 years ago - definitely more efficient (if not as pretty) than the others in the market in my opinion.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Eh... I've been thinking hard about buying it. I do like the upcoming events Widget it has.

They need to implement swyping to go between screens (Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks) and organize their options.

Also their big widget seems to have much higher touch sensitivity than anything else on my phone O.o

It has performance issues and the develper recommended a lag fix in their Google group, which I find kind of emabrassing considering I have bigger apps on my phone who do not lag as much as this one.

I guess I'll use it for a few days and see if it grows on me... I really want to move all my stuff to hotmail. I can't stand Google Calendar/Contacts/Tasks (mail is fine :P ).
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
I could never get my corporate exchange account working until I tried anderdroid's aispish rom. Ever since I've been using that email.apk on other roms successfully.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The Sync works, there just aren't many clients other than WP7 and iPhone that properly display HTML emails from Hotmail due to the version of ActiveSync protocol Hotmail uses.

Edit: F it, I'll just move everything to Google and detatch my Hotmail account. Maybe that'll help with battery woes, as a side effect...
