(remove the spaces, sorry as I'm a new user)

To summarise, a Froyo build (not mentioned which one) has been sent to operators for testing. Guess that would mean a few more months before a build is even released to public. (Right after the announcement for Gingerbread? Ugh.)

---start of rant---

First of all, greetings to all (it's my first post). The Milestone is my first Android phone, and it's a love-hate relationship honestly. I made a mistake not knowing about the locked bootloader (who wouldn't? After all most Android phones don't come with a 2048-bit encrypted bootloader). I believe most Milestone users share the same experience with me, finding out the cruel truth only after purchase.

Why lock? I believe most users have already read the comment from Motorola's CEO, which is to protect users from damaging their phone. (I'll get the source article later.) Seriously? Look at the magic Droid users and developers have churned out.

The Milestone, like the Droid, is a capable phone. Not the best in the market now, but one of the better ones in the same price range.

If Motorola is unable to release updates in time, I personally feel that they should unlock our bootloader, and let the community do the magic. It's after all what people look for when they bought an open-sourced phone.

---end of rant---

I frequent the Milestone development forums (even though I've never left a message simply because I feel that I lack technical knowledge to be commenting on their wonderful works), and love what has been made for Milestone. However, there are limitations definitely, from what I gathered.

I humbly believe that if they unlocked the bootloader, they would change people's views of Motorola worldwide (like when I first got the Milestone, before finding out about the locked bootloader) and in the long run it's definitely beneficial. We're talking about European, Middle Eastern, Asian, Indian, Mexican, Canadian (?) and many more markets here, my dear big M.

Is there any petition already started to appeal to Motorola to unlock our bootloaders? After all, Android is about the power of the community.

Sorry for the long message, I just needed to get this off my mind, and would love to hear about views from the amazing xda community. I may be wrong, I may be biased, but I'm just a plain Milestone user.

Oh, I still love my Milestone anyway.

Thanks. =)

it'll probably never get unlocked, but it still sucks. i love being able to do damn neared anything i want to my Droid.

I'm working on an app for the Samsung I9000 that will modify the launcher database, which in generic android builds is located at /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases/launcher.db

I can't find any db files associated with Samsungs TouchWiz launcher though. Any idea where this might be?

I did find /data/data/com.sec.android.app/twlauncher/files/launcher.preferences but this doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for.
[Android Software Development] Seff:
It's here...

/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/launcher.db

do you understand the db format? I am trying to find an app to sort the apps alphabetically in the launcher. could you help me?

Thanks!

Beginner here that's catching on fast but still a little wet behind the ears. I want to partition my sd card does this sound about right I'm %100 percent on the ext2 size I want it 1024mb I have a 32gig sd so space isn't an issue. What I'm not sure about is what size I should make the swap right now I'm thinking 160mb. Please help I'm planning on doing this tonight before I gotta wake up for work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also what is ext2 to ext3 option is it needed what does it do?

Also I'm running cm6.1 stable

using ra-recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Protos:
I run a 64mb swapfile and 1.5gb ext3 partition. Personally speaking I would not go past 512mb on swap. Really even 64mb is overkill imho as our evos don't really use it much if at all.

As far as ext2 vs 3 its personal choice. Ext3 adds journaling extensions and ups the file size limit.

Yeah I tried that twice. I am loading stored apks, from my computer, does this only work when downloading from the market or what? I've tried every method I could find in this forum, with no luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Protos:
To load apks from your sd card you must go to menu/settings/applications/ and make sure unknown sources is checked.

Also you should be running the latest version of a2sd for everything to work properly. I run myns warm 2.2 rl4 and while it is a fine rom, it is missing the latest a2sd and busybox.

After you have flashed the latest a2sd zip, you should move ALL apps to INTERNAL memory and THEN go to your android terminal and

/su

a2sd reinstall
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dmcconachie:
I recently installed an androlib custom rom to enable a2sd+ however since doing so maps version has reverted to 4.4 and i am unable to update to the latest version.

Appbrain reports the update is available but when shifting to market i am only given the option to open!?

Am I missing something obvious??

Right now I have the 4x5 layout with my Fresh Rom. I'm digging it alot but would love to have the Gingerbread "phone / app / browser" launcher and still keep the 4x5 layout, and still be able to use Sense.

Is it possible to change the fresh "app / phone / add" to the new gingerbread like the other roms themes ?

Any chance of rosies for virus roms? I love his roms, but last time he made a rosie mod for one was 4 versions ago. And none of the rosies I've tried to flash with his sense roms have any affect after flashing.

Here's an example. This rosie with launcher arrow in the middle and phone on left and 5 wide app drawer is what I want sooo bad (really don't even care for the new gingerbread rosies), but last time he made the rosie mod was for rc3, now we're at rc4.2.

Really look forward to your work and thanks in advance.

Hello

I'm looking for a way to disable/lock the tap to open on certain widgets.

Not sure if such an app exists, and searching didn't lead me anywhere.

I've been using minimalistic text on my home screen and I have a bad tendency to always click on the widget since it's in the middle of the home screen.

Is there a way to disable the opening of the application?

I know some other apps have this built in, but it's not part of minimalistic text as of yet.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ntdb:
This sounds like a request you need to make to the widget developer. I don't know of an application that can create "dead" zones on your homescreen.
[Galaxy Tab General] SonicTab:
Two quick questions if you have a minute...

After flashing to JK5, for a Galaxy Tab being used in Canada,

what's the best ro.build.fingerprint to use,

the original Canadian Bell one or the US AT&T one or another?

What's a protected app we can search for to confirm the change is working?
[Galaxy Tab General] SonicTab:
Anyone have comments on the best fingerprint for those in Canada?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] drleospaceman:
Do any of the Milestones (XT701, XT720, Milestone) work with AT&T 3G data? AT&T is 850mhz but I get confused about it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] asten77:
The A853 from Telus Canada works on AT&T. Obviously have to get it unlocked. The only major issue is that AGPS doesn't work out of the box, you have to root it and change a couple files. Other than that, I love showing iphoneys how much better AT&T is with a good phone. :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ozzmanj1:
I have been using a Telus Milestone (Canada) on AT&T for about 7 months. The AGPS file does need to be updated to reflect googles GPS info instead of Telus'. If you look at getting a Telus Milestone from Ebay, be advised you will be spending around $300 to $400 dollars US. But in my mind totally worth it. I get a mielstone without a contract ( I am on a month to month now since my contract expired roughly 2 years ago) and a unlimited data plan for $15 a month as AT&T does not know what phone I have. If you do get a Milestone for AT&T look in the Android Market for a program called Universal Androot, its free and is a one click easy root program, works awesome. If you need the AGPS file for AT&T settings I have it backed up and can send it to you. All you would have to do is save it to your SDcard and just copy and paste to the appropriate file folders on your phone using a file browser from the market and root access. Let us know how it goes and if you need help I have found XDA to be an invaluable source of good info and help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ij9zapem:
so with this Androot software would help me unlock the phone to use it with AT&T :confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ozzmanj1:
Sorry for the confusion. Universal androot will only root your phone, unlock the operating system to allow you to make changes to it. Having your phone unlocked to allow it to work on another cell phone provide, art, T-Mobile, etc, is different. You can do a google searh to unlock. For example I just typed in the above and got this place:

http://www.unlockallcellular.com/motorola-milestone-droid-unlock-code-p-45931.html

I do not know if this site is any good. I wanted to show an example of what to look for. I hope my explanation has been good enough to help out. Let us know his it goes and if you need more help just ask.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ij9zapem:
5 starz to you JGregory, that website is really good, by the next day i got my unlock code and now im able to use my Milestone XT720!!! ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] drleospaceman:
One more question, if I use a Telus Milestone on AT&T, will I still be able to get the OTA froyo update in 2011? Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ozzmanj1:
You will still be able to get the update. I dont know for sure if you will get a notification on your phone. Best bet would be to keep an eye out for any news. When the update does get release, probably best to download the update and install it from your phones SDcard. But as I have not received an update since I hacked my phone I dont know for sure how you will get the notice of it, other then just following up on the status. Sorry to have missed your question. Hope this still helps you out.

ROM Details

This is a stock version of rmk40's "Stock Incredible Sense *3.26.605.1* (Rooted)" minus bloatware and some apps.

Credits to rmk40 for his work on HTC Sense/Froyo OTA v3.26.605.1

Link to Virtuos's site here

Credits to all xda devs that made it so easy

I always was drawn to stock roms minus bloatware but several roms have not been updated. This got me interested in putting out my own rom and was able to do that with all the knowledge in these forums.

So here is what I removed :

- Verizon related stuff

- Twitter

- Skype

- Facebook

- Friend Stream

- Teeter

- Stock

- Slacker radio

- Flickr

- CityID

- Amazonmp3

- Flashlight

- FMRadio

- Appsharing

- Adobe Reader

- Adobe Flash installer

- Newsreader

- Footprints

Link to BareInc_V0B:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/lkreqfps2wml5z6/BareInc_v0B.zip

ROM Installation

1. phone must already be rooted

2. clear all data & cache

3. install zip with clockwork recovery

*note : this was tested and is being used on my Incredible with SKU2 for those concerned about screen type.

* I take no responsibility if your phone is bricked, use at your own risk

Changelog:

version A was original release

version B has Footprints removed (was missed in A)

Snapshot of front/main screen:

I don't expect to release anymore versions since this is currently what I use and quite content with it. I am sharing it in hopes that somebody might find it useful and if they wanted to, could build up on it.

Hope you enjoy it.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] vinylb:
Footprints should not be there. I'll remove and upload the file.

Yes as stated above this is bare Sense just without all those apps which I don't need.

Let me know if you find anything else that needs to be removed. I would caution though, its so easy to get carried away and before you know it, you have a rom that does not boot. This happened to me :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vinylb:
ITViking I also was using feather and loved its simplicity but as you stated development stopped. I decided that I wanted all the stock features in my rom, no tinkering with any of those features but just to remove the apps listed in my original post. I stayed clear of it for 2 reasons 1) i just don't have enough skills yet and 2) if it aint broke.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vinylb:
I have removed footprints and created a new file denoting version B. Original post contains link.

No I didn't have a task killer, but it's not like that really matters, i think.

The phone was fully charged after the flash then I went to sleep and when I woke up the phone was dead.
