OK, So this isnt strictly a windows MOBILE question, but i hope people here can help me....

I'm running VNC On a server of mine.

I am trying to connect, So i can run and administer commands on my DHD, (When i unwrap it in 2 days) So i can administer things etc..

Also wow friends by wow'ing on a 4" Mobile ;P

Anyway, here is my configuration;

http://cl.ly/0v3w1C0s0f062r1p3C3I

http://cl.ly/3q0K2J2t2x240V2E190V

I have tried the java web client (:5800) and Chicken of the VNC (mac) and only the web viewer on a windows XP pc.

The only thing i can think of is that the server i set up by RDP, and still prefer to use RDP to do that sort of thing.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
Hi,

I've started to use xscope on my Gtab, and really like it, and set the XDA Gtab forums as my home page, so when it starts, I get a page w/the 4 topics.

The thing is, when I click on any of the 4 topics, I see the link highlighted, but it doesn't load the page with the threads.

Sometimes, if I tap the topic link several times, it goes. What works is if I long press on a topic link, then get the popup, then click open.

I don't have this problem with other links, just the XDA Gtab topic links.

Weird!

I used to do the same thing then tried the xda apparently which didn't work out to well either. Have you used the tapatalk apparently? Works great for my xda browsing...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
I tried the XDA app, but had a hard time with it :).

I'll take a look at tapatalk.

Thanks,

[Nexus S Android Development] BlackOtaku:
Script pulled; should have it back up by Wednesday.

Hey guys. I've written a shell script to automate some of the more menial tasks involved with unlocking the Nexus S bootloader and rooting it. It also guides you through the various tasks involved in the process, and IMO is a more noob-friendly alternative to my guide on manually rooting.

Disclaimer again: I take no responsibility if something goes wrong (if it does, it should be fixable though), Unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty (but you can lock it back), Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your entire phone, including USB Storage; so make a copy of all those family photos and other files you may have put onto the USB storage if you want to keep them.

The script should run fine on most configurations; if you have issues post them below. The script isn't very elegant, but it gets the job done. Pay attention to the terminal as you go through it and you should be fine.

Some Notes:

- OTA updates will not flash because the modified boot.img flashed in this script causes an MD5 mismatch.

You should flash the latest OTA update before running this script, if you aren't already running the latest update.

- The latest OTA update, GRH78 (2.3.1) can be found with instructions on flashing here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884097

- You do not need root to flash OTA updates.

How to run

1. Download the attached file and rename it to 'nsrootscript.sh'

2. Mark it as executable either by navigating to it, right-clicking it, Properties > Permissions tab, and checking 'Allow executing file as program', or running this command:

chmod +x /path-to-file-here/nsrootscript.sh

3. Double-click it and choose 'Run In Terminal' or use the command:

./path-to-file-here/nsrootscript.sh

4. Follow the instructions given in the script, and you should be rooted in no time.

[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
I just looked through your script. Noticed it is using superboot boot.img's to root. You might want to put a note that this will probably prevent future OTA updates from flashing, since those boot.img's are modified and will get MD5 mismatches.
[Nexus S Android Development] BlackOtaku:
Thanks for the heads up, I'll put that in the OP.
[Nexus S Android Development] suomaf:
Thanks man, looking forward to getting and trying this out
[Nexus S Android Development] crking1980:
works like a charm thank you very much!
[Nexus S Android Development] stothy862:
I'm sorry but I just don't see the point it rooting a DEVELOPER phone? You open up lots of features that are not available to non root so therefore make developing useless as you will lose more than half your market! I understand if you are specifically making a root application but I'm sure most of you aren't!

[/Rant]
[Nexus S Android Development] BlackOtaku:
Root isn't just of interest to developers. Root allows the end user to do many interesting things, a small set:

- Applying custom themes

- Blocking annoying ads

- Take screenshots

- Set CPU clock speeds / overclock for better performance, underclock for better battery life

- Replacing system apps / files (There are various reasons for this, one example is the modified MMS.apk floating around that fixes the blurry MMS issue)

- Flash custom ROMs which can offer performance increases, battery life increases and add useful features not found in stock (CyanogenMod is a good example)

-And there's a lot more, but it's 2 AM where I live, lol.

As for people that develop applications that require root, that's because what they do (blocking ads, theming, taking screenshots, etc.), well requires root. There's no way around that. And since root is obtainable on most Android devices without too much hassle, what's the harm in coding something to make people's Android experience a little better? :D
[HD7 General] megasounds:
Hi there

i have some small problems with my just created rom

what i did :

-unrar RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe rom

-unrar RUU_Schubert_O2_DE

with NBHImageToolv1-2 I dumped the 2 RUU_signed.nbh files

then i removed the OS.nb file from the dumped DE rom

then i copied the OS.nb from the dumped EUR rom to the DE

and finally i build the whole together with NBHImageToolv1-2 toolkit.

All went well and WITHOUT any error

Ok problem starts here....

When i try to flash my Windows Phone HD7 it stays at 0%.

I waited for 10min. but nothing happens

Can some one tell me what i did wrong ????

Many thanks in advance

Megasounds
[HD7 General] sutt359:
That's because you didn't do it right you need to extract another part from the os.nb
[HD7 General] megasounds:
Can you tell me HOW ???

How do i do that ...

i allready tried it with nbsplit but that did not work

m
[HD7 General] udK:
Don't waste your time, you can't flash anything without an unlocked (security unlocked) phone.
[HD7 General] megasounds:
Ok thanks !!!

what is the easiest way to security UNLOCK my phone ?

[HD7 General] udK:
No way yet.

Hi,

please i have a question. How you use android as default system? A have android from mdeejay, its great, but it is one bad thing. When i have phone in pocket, a call my friend. My friends call me back and ask me, why i call they... Is there any idea how to lock answer button in android like "incalllock" on windows mobile? Or how you resolve this problem if you have it?

Sorry for my bad english and for new thread, but i ask twice and no one answer me.

Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmmmmm:
Are you using some custom lock screen that allows you to activate your dialer from the lock screen?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pepinek89:
Hello,

no, I use the default lock. First I had a problem with incoming calls. I HD2 in my jeans pocket, and when someone calls, the call is accepted when extracting keys from his pocket. Therefore I am looking for a program that locks when you receive a call button. And I find that unlocking android sense is very simple, it needs a thin strip, like the iPhone. It seems to me that my phone is unlocked in my pocket.

[Vibrant General] The K-Zoo Kid:
Think thats a good deal? :cool:
[Vibrant General] osugsxr:
I just debated on the nexus s, traded my nexus one for an iphone 4 and can sell the iphone 4 for $500. I was stuck between the vibrant and nexus s, not too many differences I thought and went with a vibrant on craigslist for $160 :) happy about that. Just rooted & unlocked it for my carrier. Still could sell the iphone 4 or wait for unlock and use it as a back up.

If you're bored of the vibrant go for it. Nexus S is probably just alittle better if no at all
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
this is $h!t! how did you got that kind of deal?!!
[Vibrant General] The K-Zoo Kid:
My brother is on my family plan and he is eligable for an upgrade...
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Cool brother, but I really like the vibrant I would wait tell next year to see what comes out. Just saying but thats a great deal man.
[Vibrant General] The K-Zoo Kid:
See i had a similar chance to get a nexus one and i greatly regret not taking advantage of it, so i didnt hesitate saying yes to his offer haha
[Vibrant General] gatesmarch123:
WTF...why even ask!!! The nexus s is way superior than the Vibrant for many reasons; the main one being that you will be the first to get the new Android OS releases; no more waiting for Samsung to get off their asses and rollout an upgrade. That and that alone would having me salivating at a deal like that.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
while it is true, we already have leaked Froyo and it works with ZERO FC, and 2.3 is really very minor update and all visuals have been ported to Vibrant already as well. So the only real update you will get with Nexus S is 3.0, and this is not happening anytime soon. Might as well wait and see what new generation dual-core phones have to offer....like Galaxy S2 etc....is not happy, then i would buy Nexus S.

And remember Nexus S has MANY downsides vs Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] vetvito:
Those ported visuals don't work like the real thing. Green syncing , white not syncing etc. 2.3 has a lot of changes under the hood.
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
Exactly.

No Gorilla Glass

No microSD slot

No 720p

No TV out

No Video Codecs

No Bluetooth 3.0

It's clear as day, the Nexus S was a rushed product.

That said, I'd still take the deal if I were you. You'd get more money when it's time to sell, plus you'll get the over-hyped updates first.
[Vibrant General] The K-Zoo Kid:
Yeah, I realize all of these things.. Out of all of these things, the gorilla glass Is the only real main concern of mine. Because...

1, 16GB is perfect for me..

2. I rarely use the camera

3. I have only used the tv out like twice, using my laptop it is much better quality so its not a concern.

4. I dont even know what video codecs are..

5. I dont own anything that uses bluetooth 3.0 so 2.0 or whatever version this has should be fine.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Video codecs are used to watch videos of 720p (mkv,avi,etc). I'm not sure how phones without video codecs work with RockPlayer but it is an alternative. Not sure if they'll work or not, they should...
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
yeah, no questions asked, take it!

wait can you tell me how does this works? i'm on a family plan.
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
Hummingbird JIT optimization on 2.3 is huge for us.
[Vibrant General] w0urds:
If you can get it with out having to dish any cash, then you should get it. I keep going back and forth on whether I should go out and buy it out right.

Vibrant
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
If you are using an upgrade be aware that t mobile is making data plans mandatory for the life of the contract and that data plan is associated with that line only. I recently tried to use an upgrade on an extra line of mine only to have to return it because tmobile refused to migrate the data plan and said that I would be charged the 200 dollar etf if I canceled the data plan.

So ya, if the upgrade isn't for your line your bro might get stuck with an extra fee every month.
[Vibrant General] shabgard:
FYI Vibrant doesnt have Gorilla Glass.

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
It wasn't rushed.

It's was we call reference products.

They tend to come with bare minimum feature sets, and not much more.

Otherwise, the phone would cost over $600 unlocked, the way manufacturers have been charging for smartphones lately.

Google simply didn't have Samsung put in the extra features, and the NFC chip probably is what kicked 720p out of the phone (which is an odd trade-off, IMO).

Google left off a bunch of pretty trivial features. It doesn't even have a notification LED.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I'm not gonna lie. I had a response typed up until I got to the above.

I'm gonna guess you're just trying to either defend this device blindly or you're just... well... I don't even want to use that word.

If you don't use anything on you phone and don't require any decent storage, why even waste this much money on a smartphone. Just get a feature phone, that's all you require.
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
Since you asked, I will give my opinion:

First off, I finally talked my girlfriend to switch to TMO and get the Nexus S , which she did. And I will admit that I like the flash and the FFC. But let me tell you, my Vibrant with the latest Nero rom KILLS her phone in speed AND for the person who talked about the visual ports of 2.3.... She likes the looks of my phone way better as do I. I can deal with no flash and FFC, my phone is my little computer to go, not a cam.

And our Vibrants may not get updates rolled straight to us from Google but HELLO... look where you are.. XDA! I had froyo on my dang G1! These devs pump out roms from leaks fast enough that I love my Vibrant. And the lack of a SD slot is a big mistake and an odd thing to leave out, as well the leaving out of 720p.

Secondly, and in all honesty, for only friggen $50 ... GET IT!!!! For real! That is one hell of a deal. If you don't like the thing, call tmo and have them unlock it and put that thing on ebay. As long as you been a customer for I think 60 days, they will send unlock code for free.

All in all. I LOVE my Vibrant now that I have modded it. But then again, if someone said " $50 and you can have a Nexus S " I'd take it in a heartbeat. Especially if it meant I could keep my Vibrant too.

Just do it man!
[Vibrant General] Boss_Diva:
I believe he said he was trading his vibrant along with 50bucks. Correct me if im wrong :-)
[Vibrant General] The K-Zoo Kid:
Your right haha. But i really hope this deal isnt a bad choice, you guys are really making me second gues myself haha.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
dude, just get it.

then I'll send u my Vibrant + $50 and shipping.

;)
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Who wouldn't want a Nexus S?

http://www.androidcentral.com/bigger-better-right-check-out-42-inch-nexus-s
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
People with large media libraries who liberally use the camera on their phones to take high megapixel images and HD quality videos?

Oh wait... Nexus S doesn't have an HD camcorder.

TBQH, outside of the obvious differences (HD Cam, SD Slot, etc.), Samsung really did add quite a bit of Value to the Vibrant that isn't on the Nexus. DLNA, ThinkFree Office, Social Network Integration, Widgets (a couple are decent), Media Codecs, etc.

There are a lot of reasons to look at the Nexus S as an all-around downgrade outside of the version of Android it runs.

The build quality isn't all that much better. The SoC is identical. They removed features that have become "entry-level features" in top-end smartphones like HD recording.

It's really a hard choice. What good are the updates if all of these convenience/quality-of-life features are ripped out of it, and in most cases you have to pay for them?

Makes the phone cost like $100 more if you go for quality paid apps from the market (and aren't a software pirate). Some of these missing/downgraded features are simply just gone. Nothing you buy will give the phone an SD Card or HD recording. That's pathetic for a phone released in December 2010, IMO.

But hey, with that NFC chip Google won't know what you search for anymore, but what you buy and where you buy it from, too! Will make for higher quality Ad-ware!
[Vibrant General] boodies:
after reading these spec differences, I'm sorta glad I have the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] robavila721:
this is the reason why i think, samsung and tmo are going to give us 2.3 instead of 2.2, i know there has been leaks, but whos to say they dont leak them on purpose to keep us content until they release 2.3
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
doubt it. they already tried to push 2.2 to Canada i think, and keep saying to wait for 2.2. Why would they do that and keep people mad, when they can simply say....hey wait a month and you will get 2.3 instead.....
[Nook Color General] JRDroid:
the SD card i wrote my autonooter to now only shows as being 32 MB when i go to reformat it. This is a 16 GB card. Any tips?

EDIT: DOwnloaded SD Formatter 2.0 and tried that instead of the standard winodws utility. Even though this too originally saw the card as 32 MB it reformatted it at 14.xx GB, which is what this particular "16 GB" card had always reported before.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
There's another thread about this, but to sum up, the easiest way is to do it on your Nook. Settings>Device Info>SD Card>Dismount>Format
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
I have had issues like that before and properties format didn't work for me. Diskpart, clearing and creating a partition did. Then reformat. I have also had occasions where nothing I did would get Windows to see the card. Using in linux and completely zeroing out the card with dd fixed it. dd on a 16gb card would take a rather long time though. Zeroing is usually my last ditch effort before replacing the card.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
Popping it in a rooted Android phone and using AR Recovery to format is another easy way.
[Nook Color General] tmonkey:
This worked for me, thanks.
[Fascinate General] mmccasli:
Anyone notice since upgrading that Bluetooth seems to drain your battery pretty rapidly. Prior to 05 I could leave Bluetooth on all day no problem

Any suggestions?
[Fascinate General] soba49:
I didn't relate it specifically to any baseband or kernel, but yeah, leaving bluetooth on murders my battery.

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
It doesn't drain it any more than in any other version.
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Hi All,

I've been trying to figure out how to theme by taking a theme apart and then comparing stuff to my phone. I got "most" of the Revolution Theme working properly on my Mez. It was taken from the Fascinate Theme Thread...

The only thing that I've found that has a force close is trying to go into sound settings...

Anyone know where that file is in the theme pack that I need to change?

I've attached a screen shot for your review of what it looks like.
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
OK, I got it working. I had to pull out my Settings.apk, make the changes to it and then put it back into the package. Seems to be working well now.

The only thing that hasn't changed that I want to change is the lock screen. Anyone know what files specifically need to be modded to change that?

Anyone interested in trying it out? Remember to do a backup before giving this a try!

I'm running SuperClean .2 with a voodoo kernel as a reference point

Put it on the root of your SDcard and then boot into clockwork and choose install Retrokid_Revolution_DJ05_V3.6.mez.zip.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1429928/Retrokid_Revolution_DJ05_V3.6.mez.zip
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I'll give it a go. :D

As a point of reference:

Variant of the voodoo kernal

Pick-n-Pack rom
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Hope you like it. I have to figure out how to fix the lock screen though.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I'll be looking at it too, as this goes along with what I'm doing while I'm on vacation anyway. I am not 100% sure, but I think the lock screen and a few other things that you are going to want, are going to be in the framework.res.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Another note, this uses aosp mms.apk which has a problem still with sending and receiving picture messages.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I got it installed. (Sorry it took so long, I didn't realize I was at 3% battery when I posted)

Installed with no issues, however I'm getting a big difference in the battery meter. My widget says 65%, the rpm battery gauge says 80%.

Also, it reinstalled Mail, which I had taken off in the Pick-n-Pack. Was that in the zip?
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Yes, mail was included as one if the customized apps. Hmmm, you didn't want mail? Not sure how to remove that. Do you liked it? I live the font and different icon scheme.

The mms its a problem but I was going that once it got fixed that I'd be able to update it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I unzipped it, system-app, and took out the programs I didn't like. All in all it looks pretty good. I will use it again when the mms issue is fixed (I send A LOT of picture messages)
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Updated File - Screenshots

Got it perfect now. I didn't like the battery meter in the first try.

Check it out :)

[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Just as a thought, you might want to change the name slightly. The DJ05 part of the name has to do with the release version. The Mesmerize is currently on DI14. Nothing critical right now, just confusing if and when we start getting updates and things need to be changed for themes to work with different ROMs.

Great work, btw. Glad to see others are working on stuff for the Mesmerize.
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Good point. I'll make the change to the file name.

Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] co6alt:
So, in order to install this all I need to do is flash it in clockworkmod recovery after booting in recovery mode? I almost have this flashing down, but haven't tried a theme yet...
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Yes, make a backup using Clockwork or Rom Manager first, then boot into Clockwork recovery. Scroll to Install from zip. Select "Choose zip" then navigate to it on your SD card. Select it and it will install. Let me know how you like it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] co6alt:
I will for sure, thanks man.
