thank you guys so much for all you do and the time you take to help us!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Have you checked the guide I linked to above ? Use the drivers from HTC Sync, as in the guide, that should work fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysklai:
Did you take the adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll and copy or move them to the \windows\system32 directory so you can run adb from any dos directory prompt.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erieboyz:
You know what? I didn't even think about that. Ill give it a shot as soon as I go home. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charliehustle:
dont know how adb still doesnt find my semi-bricked tmobile g2 phone. Once im in fastboot and hook up through usb it installs the adb android interface drivers, but once i go into adb and put in adb shell or adb devices its stil saying device not found. im using the usb wire that came with the htc evo shift which is the same exact usb as the g2 from what i know.
[Android Software Development] NueKaede:
Hi,

I'm looking into developing a custom lock-screen, that would use a kind of 'Press to unlock' feature, instead of the usual slide or drag to unlock... I've disliked the slide/drag to unlock lock-screens ever since I bought my HTC Wildfire, but have had no alternative, hence why I am looking to create an alternative.

It would be similiar to most lockscreens where it would have a Clock, and things. I'm thinking it would have three default buttons(ie. Unlock, Volume(would cycle through On, Mute, and Vibrate with each press) and most likely Power Down) with options to add more of your choosing.

My question is... is this a feasible idea, and would it be possible with the current Android 2.1 and 2.2 source?

Thanks :D
[Android Software Development] NueKaede:
Bump :) Is this a feasible idea?
[Android Software Development] johnsmithx14:
I like the idea.

Skinnable "Press to unlock" buttons or doo-hickeys would be nice.
[Android Software Development] freak4dell:
I would love this. I'm not a big fan of the slide to unlock, either.
[Android Software Development] NueKaede:
So far this is what i've got idea wise...
[Droid 2 General] C0L7:
Is there a way to make the screens and dock static. So if I have 3 screens and 3 scrollable docks I always want screen 1 and dock 1 to be together and when I switch to screen 2 I want it to also go to dock 2 and same thing with the third screen. Anyone try this or know how it could be done?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lccurtis1:
I was sitting in Buffalo Wild Wings playing with my phone when something caught my eye. I'm not sure what it actually is but if you look in the top left corner of your screen you can see a lens and a led and it looks to me as if its a front facing camera but just not activated for whatever reason. Now I don't know if this is on everyones G2 but I really had to look to see it. It does seem kinda strange they would leave off such a hot feature on the top of the line phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AdrianK:
Yes it's a camera, utilised by the government to keep track of people, but you can't tell anyone. You might want to delete your post before you mysteriously disappear of the face of the earth o.O

Or maybe there's no conspiracy, and it's actually a proximity sensor.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Calico5:
if ur talking about the think near the earpiece im pretty sure thats a light sensor. It measures the level of light to adjust the autobrightness i believe ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bhavik236:
lol, although a front facing camera is definitely a much wanted feature.

but now that android 2.3 is released, i bet HTC are busy in their kitchens cooking up a new handset to have a dual camera. I'm gutted that they didnt introduce one in the Desire-Z otherwise i'd snapped it up.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
How do you remove the text underneath the toggles in the notification tray?

I notice that the Minimalist Mod, Axura, and others has this.

In other words:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
It's status_bar_expanded.xml.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] webstar1:
Thanks for narrowing down my search but it will be even better if you told me which line and anyway to completley remove them for my complete gingerbread look. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Snow_fox:
has anyone here seriously compared swype vs just a regular onscreen keyboard in terms of battery life?

I am wondering because, I have been looking at swype and think its pretty cool for some time now. Even if I don't end up using it hardcore, I would at least like to give it a fair shot.

I am just wondering if the extra resources used have a signifigant impact. I was reading its suppose to be pretty highly optimized and have a small footprint.. So I can't complain if battery life takes a small hit but, I also was wondering if anyone had their battery life cut in half or anything.
[General Questions and Answers] AdrianK:
I use Swype, and haven't noticed any difference in battery life...

Why don't you just try it? You can always uninstall it if you no longer want it.
[General Questions and Answers] johnston9234:
battery life isnt an issue. Swype is a very nice keyboard and barely any downsides like battery life
[General Questions and Answers] Snow_fox:
That would require a phone with swype :(

If I could get one I would.. but, circumstances beyond money and upgrade capacity prohibit me from getting the phone I want :/

At any rate, this was more random curiosity than anything else.
[Vibrant General] bobofosho123:
Hey everyone-

I think this may have been asked a looong time ago...and I know this question is pointless as what I'm asking for is most likely impossible, but how many other people here would love to be able to run webOS on their vibs? To me, it just seems so much more finished and polished than Android does. *bobofosho123 prepares for the combined beatdowns of millions of rabid android fanboys*. I love the card stack format for the different apps running, the different swypes and gestures, and just the way all the different aspects of the OS seem to pull together so cohesively, perhaps more so than Android or iOS. This isn't to say that I don't like the open-source and infinitely modifiable architecture that Android brings to the table, but it just seems lacking in some respects. Just curious to hear everyone's thoughts regarding this?

-regards, bobofosho123 ;)
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
WebOs who? why dont you just get a palm device. I dont have the name of the apps, but Im pretty sure theres an app for gestures and anything else your loooking for. To me the only problem android has is fragmentation. But no matter my dislikes about Android, Especially the Vibrant, I wouldnt want to put webos on my phone.

Best Android build until now for the XPERIA X1 [Fast & Stable]

Build: 2.2.1 Froyo

Kernel: Sp3dev
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] viper.:
You should use Neopeeks builds(superfroyo , CM 6.0 , Cm6.1 , FRG83) if you want to connect phone and pc .
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sjw6820528:
ok,thank you very much.Are you use X1 Android for daily use or just for test and have some fun? Anyway,I find the x1 android system getting better and smoother.I am a college student ,not have so much money to buy a new cellphone.X1 still can do a good job.:):):):):):):):D:D:D:D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] freemini:
It looks nepeek's builds have working USB, however I can't get it to re-mount after connecting to my computer, so you still have to reboot if you want to access any contents on your card..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
You cannot use mass storage, only adb mode. At least i can't.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] freemini:
you can, neopeek's builds seem to work. But it won't mount the SD card after you're finished. Just be sure to disable USB debugging.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] waitingyou:
Me too.I can not sync with my pc, can not sync with mac osx too. why?

In pc,i had install android driver,but software can not find my phone, in mac can find, but can not sync.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
There is no USB sync in android. At least not without 3rd party software.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] oyggj:
So we have no XDA usb driver for Andriod? ???Oh,No.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnlal93:
I'm using my G2 rooted with Cyanogen, and I just deleted all my messages in the daytime. However, I'm a heavy texter and rarely delete my texts, and at the end of the day my phone has like 300 messages and is slow as **** when it comes to responding.

Does anyone else have that same problem in their phone? I also have the iPhone 4 and its smooth as silk with about 20,000 texts in 4 months (once again, I'm a heavy texter). I'm thinking about letting go of this awesome device if I have to delete my texts every other hour.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsfinest72:
go to the sms settings and have it auto delete after any amount you put. for me i got to delete after 75 messages per recipient. obviously it deletes the oldest text first.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoelliot:
Hey all need some help here got some mp4 movies that play till 1:11:35 then the video stops but the audio keeps playing. Btw I'm running cm6 black mod stable. Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TinkerToyTommy:
There's alot of info missing in your post, such as the player you're using and how did you encode your movies. This makes it hard to find a solution to your problem.

I think I had the same issue for a period, but switching players helped. Though I don't recollect exactly. Here's a quick tutorial I put together awhile ago: http://digitaldeverell.com/?page_id=130

Maybe that could help???
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoelliot:
Not sure of the encoding, I downloaded the videos they all play no matter what player I use but they all stop at 1 hr 11 min and 35 seconds up until then everything perfect. Could there be any kind of cap or time or MB restrictions? I work midnights with nothing really to do and would really like to watch some movies... thanks...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoelliot:
Oh, btw the video stops at 1:11:35 and the audio continues but when it stops the seek bar returns to the beginning of the movie. The rest of the video is there but it wont play past that time.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumbwolf:
Are you trying to 'stream' the video? Try act1 video player ...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoelliot:
ive tried act 1, and several others cant remember all of them (deleted) but im not streaming them they were downloaded and work fing on my pc. Tranfered them to my sd card and played them, they all work fine... perfect audio/video until 1:11:35 and then the seek bar goes to the begining of the movie and the audio continues to play as if nothing happened. if i drag the seek bar past 1:11:35 the video is there but it plays audio from the begining of the movie...??? idk im like wtf. i thought about cutting the movies in half sumhow but dont really know how to do it. thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumbwolf:
Well there's only so much cache room allowed, for most apps/ functions.

Is your phone rooted, and what ROM?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoelliot:
Yes, rooted running cm6 blackmod stable.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archshift:
1:11:35

I am having the same problem here as well. I just went on a flight and encoded five different movies. One was encoded with AnyDVDconverter, the other three were done with Handbrake. The movies converted with both programs worked until 1:11:35.

I have tried a lot of different settings within each program every time with the same results, audio continues and the video pauses. If I seek past 1:11:35 the video will play, but the audio begins to play from the beginning with the slider bar returning to the start as well.

See how this appears to be an issue with the phone and not Handbrake, I wiped and flashed CM6.1 with the same results.

Any thoughts on what else could be done to have proper video playback.

Also, I have tried the Gallery, mVideoPlayer, and DoubleTwist with same results as well.

Thank You for any suggestions.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archshift:
Solved:

found this solution in the CyanogenMod google code website, sorry I can not post the link

Hope this helps someone else out too.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoelliot:
That didn't fix it... From what I've found the files have to be less than 2mb due to SD card fat32 partitions limits. Irk.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzPrime:
I had the same problem but couldn't find any solution on the net anywhere. There IS a simple, yet unelegant solution though:

Split the movie into 2 (or 3 if it's a very long movie) files.

In Handbrake, look at the total number of chapters. Do one pass for the first half, then another for the second half (ex, 24 chapter total, then do one file with chapters 1-12 and a second file with 13-24). Just name the movies "Title 1" and "Title 2".

Voila. Problem solved.

Hey! Recently i flashed cyanmod to my phone and its working like a charm ! But, i tryed to flash an AOL kitchen thingy theme to my phone, and when i rebootet my phone after the flash it wont get past the cyanogen boot loader screen? Had to backup nandroid and flash cyan again ... later i tryed to flash the gingerbread theme to cyanogenmod and when i reboot same thing happened... am i doin anything wrong? Now imnot sure what i can flash on my phone anymore....
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
I've flashed so many framework update.zips using the kitchen for all the roms, i'm not sure what's the problem with yours?

When you are creating your new theme from the Ultimate Online Theming kitchen, make sure you uploaded the framework of the rom you are currently using.
[Wildfire General] TiiXiboy:
Ye but if i download the gingertheme that works for every1 else same thing happens
[HD2 General] Datuna_t:
I would like to thank all the developers of xda for your work and stuff, cause you guys are really incredible!!!! Without any probs i found everything what i needed here not only to flash my rom and do the thing but also to make my hd2 mobile the mobile i want. Thanks everyone for their hard work and sharing!!!!!
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
Probably a more effective and more personal way to show your thanks is to use the new 'Thanks' Button on each post. This will record your thanks directly against the person you are thanking and gives then a permanent record of it - the Thanks Bar on upper left of each post under the person's name will reflect your thanks for posterity and in a way that isn't just dependent on people seeing this thread.

Bear in mind you only get five thanks per day - nothing to stop you giving out more thanks tomorrow though.
[HD2 General] mrkrizzle:
Its nice to see someone took the time to read through and learn how to do things instead of posting useless questions that have been answered countlessly :D. XDA is amazing, and the people on here is what fuels this hobby.
[Desire General] Musicmad:
Just a heads up. Apparently this bug is still live on most Froyo distributions:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3692

By mistake I had a .nomedia file on my sdcard root folder and after a reboot all my videos had been deleted.
[Desire General] th3:
Wow, that would be such a destructive bug!

I wasn't aware of it so thanks for bringing it up. However, I've been doing exactly that routine with JPG/PNG and vid files since March, every single day, 3-4GB a day... without a single loss ? :o

I mean, what else are you supposed to do when you add new files you want picked up. I can't be extremely lucky +500 times in a row. There must be something else along with this routine too, which makes it occur.

Actually, I have a .nomedia file right now in the root of the SDCard. Let me add pics and reboot.

[Desire General] Musicmad:
I think the picture part of the bug was fixed. Only issues with .mp4 and/or .3gp are reported currently.
[Desire General] owziee:
How the hell can they leave a bug like this unfixed!? This is a serious issue that they should take care of immediately imo!

[Droid Incredible General] iHaveHemdroids:
Hi everyone I have a rooted Droid incredible, I don't believe I have an SLCD screen (b/c my clockwork mod recovery isn't black and white lines)

My phone is 2.2 rooted with unrevoked 3.22.

Everything was fine until I tried installing cyanogen mod 6.1 stable tonight.

I backed up with clockwork before I tried installing the zip but something went wrong, after installing the zip from clockwork mod all it said was "welcome to cyanogen mod" "install from zip complete" or something... I rebooted and hung up at white HTC incredible screen.

So I tried to recover from clockworkmod but it said MD5 mismatch so I attempted to do a factory reset, didn't work, I formatted system and such and that didn't work.

I searched for the MD5 solution and found this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846280&highlight=mismatch with a solution of

adb shell

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-12-13.04.08.44

# rm nandroid.md5

# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

after doing that my phone says

"checking md5 sums...

erasing boot before restore...

restoring boot image...

error while flashing boot image!"

it used to just say

"checking md5 sums...

md5 mismatch!"

so that fixed that... I think when I formatted I deleted a bunch of system files.

How can I use clockworkMod to flash the neccessary system files I need to get my phone back up and running?

Please help I can't return this phone I know its not a lost cause since I'm rooted and have the ability to run clockworkMod recovery still

[Droid Incredible General] iHaveHemdroids:
Problem Solved, (5 a.m. oh well)

I followed this thread.

incredible forum dot come /forum/htc-incredible-hacks/5723-how-get-back-complete-stock-s-off.html

1) Formatted my SD card to FAT 32, make sure you do that. SD cards usually come in regular FAT format. not 32

2) Turned S-On with unrevoked forever s-on.zip

3) Download the PB31IMG file he has listed, it is the current system img files and boot files and everything! Puts you back to complete stock

4) Ran unrevoked3 to get root back.

5) Ran cyanogenmod 6.1 stable zip from sd card from rom manager.

That's it, completely bricked phone back to right where I was trying to be 7 hours ago lol fully functioning and back in business (sorta).

(my cyanogen mod boot animation is in a continuous boot loop, lol wtf... i'm goin to bed ugh!)
[Droid Incredible General] iHaveHemdroids:
Step 5 solution*

Running CyanogenMod 6.1 from SD card from Rom Manager app put me in a continuous boot animation loop.

Going into Hboot and running the zip from the sd root again re-installed it and it loaded properly. All is well.
[Desire General] marcuso:
Hi,

posted this over at the Cyanogenmod forum already, but xda-audience is probably bigger making it more likely to find help ;-)

--

I am new to CM (came from Modaco ;-) and i would be extremly happy with CM 6.1 if i would not have one very stange issue:

My Phone suddenly stops sleeping exactly at midnight.

It all started when i found that it looses a huge amount of battery over night - it was one of the first days i used CM when i noticed this. As i am experienced with android i immediately checked my up/awake stats and found it was not sleeping properly. As the basic advice for this is always to find the "bad" app that is preventing sleep i treid something and finally thought the issue was gone. The phone was behaving properly the whole day.

Then i got the same issue the next night again !?

To finally sort this is ou, i installed juiceplotter and saw that ...

...the phone behaves fine until midnight - then it stops sleeping and drains huge amount of battery !!

When i start using the phone in the morning again - it seems to behave ok again (sometimes i rebooted - but i think just starting to use the screen again helps as well - not finally sure about this)

So the usual steps to check every single app via uninstalling (which i have all used with MCR-Rom without any problems) would take a while with my 70+ apps as i would always have to wait until midnight passes to see if i found the right one.

Any idea how to find the reason (app) that stops my phone from sleeping after midnight ? Mist be some app that also triggers something at midnight ?

Or any other idea what this could be ? (if not a 3´rd party app)

I checked logcat but could not find anything abvious.

Would really keep staying with CM and not nandroid back to MCR.

Thx

Marcus
