[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one_nexus:
Thanks a lot for your replies!

Actually I just needed to realize that the Android SDK runs on Linux as well, and that with even less issues than on Win (no need for fancy USB drivers).

Very good for an overall overview: theunlockrDOTcom/2010/01/02/how-to-root-the-nexus-one/

One just has to realize that e.g. "fastboot-windows" has to be replaced by "fastboot_linux"...

A showstopper was the annoying "install-recovery.sh" script which kept me from loading into the new installed recovery image. But after consulting google the following saved me from freaking out:

./adb shell
$ su
# rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm failed for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, Read-only file system
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# exit
$ exit

After that is was straightforward to install CyanogenMod by following their specific update guide:

wiki.cyanogenmodDOTcom/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide

And now I'm happily enjoying even a FM radio which I did not expect while thinking of installing CyanogenMod...!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bloodflame:
shouldn't adb oem unlock do the trick?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassafras_:
It's fastboot oem unlock ... but potato-patato.

To the OP...

I know you probably thought of this already but add

export PATH=~/android/tools/:$PATH

to your bash .rc script so you don't have to put up with ./adb each time you want to use the adb command.

"No similar threads found. You can create a new thread and let the users answer your questions."

Sad!

Just a shoutout to devs. Thanks so much for your work! I got my Nook yesterday and the amount of work you guys have put in made it incredibly easy to set up the way I wanted to. Keep it up and thank you for this gift.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
+1 I'm not sure if there's been an Android device that relied this much on the brilliance of devs to unlock its potential.
[Nook Color General] Dizmatic:
Agreed. The device is a great value for what it can do rooted. Thanks again for all the hard work.
[Nook Color General] tabletfever:
The rooted Nook Color cured my tablet fever this Christmas. Thanks to everyone that made that possible. Sorry if this is hijacking the thread, but wanted to include a few comments and tips below for folks considering the NC + root.

I love this device. I'm not a gamer, so it's OK that it isn't Tegra 2. I wanted a nice reading, browsing, music and video pod (so to speak). I have been waiting a long time for an Android tablet (Apple makes a great product, but I like the open Android platform). Thought long and hard about Notion Ink Adam and Viewsonic G Tablet, but I couldn't justify the price premium, considering availability and vendor support issues. The Nook Color is a compromise, to be sure, but at the price point it can't be beat.

Things I like:

- Screen is awesome

- Multi-touch

- Android

- Accelerometer

- Form factor (I thought I wanted a 10 inch, but 7 is more portable)

- Price

Missing:

- Quite a few sensors - mic, camera, GPS, bluetooth, 3G

- Flash

Fingers crossed hoping someone will be able to enable:

- bluetooth (chip is there, antenna is open question)

- USB host mode (to allow NC to use peripherals, like a camera or a flash drive)

The device is pretty great out of the box, but I rooted it to be able to load other apps. A couple of things I worked through that I hope will help the next guy:

1) WinImage threw an "access denied" error when attempting to write the Auto-Nooter image to the SD card, but the ubuntu project app (wiki.kubuntu.org/Win32DiskImager) succeeded. After rooting, I had the Nook itself reformat the SD card.

2) SoftKeys is great, but I had to find the right settings. I didn't like the floating SoftKeys button or the popup toolbar, but the notification tray toolbar is perfect. I enabled all the buttons, which show up if you tap the tray icon. This works great, keeps the screen clean and leaves my hardware home button as a simple home button.

For the record, and in case it helps anyone piece together the mystery, I did have one spontaneous reboot. Nothing was reset, so it was no big deal. It happened a short time after I had entered the B&N store, accessed their wifi and accessed the Store app. At the time it actually happened, I had left B&N and the Store app and was fiddling with trying to connect to another wifi service.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] SamuriFish:
Hi,

First off thanks to all the developers. I bought a DHD a couple of weeks ago. With the help of some very useful noob guides (thanks again) its all rooted and booted, out of its shackles and ready to fly as it was meant to. I have put cyanogen6.1.0 RC2 on it and I love it.

The only issue I am having so far is to do with the keyboard. I have fat fingers and often mis type or get mis auto corrected. to fix I have to tap on the area of text I need to correct. Problem is fat fingers mean cant put the cursor exactly where I want and a few seconds of unnecessary frustration. On my previous Magic I could scrol with the roller ball.

Anyways to conclude my essay, the HTC sense keyboard that was originally on my phone had arrows that would allow me to move around (good for fat fingers) the cyanogen keyboard doesnt (not so fat finger friendly).

Is there a way I can find the HTC sense Keyboard apk and use on the cyanogen? Where do I find this file?

Sorry for the long post,:o

Never fear things are much, much better in Gingerbread. Cyanogenmod 7 will alleviate all your woes. I've been told by the developers that it even cures cancer and of course there will be no world hunger if everyone has Gingerbread to eat.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] SamuriFish:
I just tried the HTC_IME_hi22. I have selected it (ticked it) in my 'Language and Keyboard' and in the settings tried to mess about with swipe gestures to move between words. No luck. The keyboard seems exactly the same as it was before and fat finger issue still persists. Do I need to somehoe deactivate the old keyboard? can I not find the apk from my sense rom and drop it into cyanogen rom?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Andy:
I see you have enabled the keyboard, but have you selected it? Press and hold on text entry box and choose "Input method", then select "HTC_IME mod". Your new keyboard will now be used.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] SamuriFish:
Elementary my dear watson! Thanks,

Thats exactly what I had not done! the app looks the part, but still no luck from the finger swipe and navigation arrows. Ive had a look at swype and one or two others. they dont have this navigation either. Fat fingers crossed for gingerbread

HTC Sense Keyboard for Incredible S/CM7

I realize this is the Desire HD forum, but I thought I would post here first before starting a new thread. I've been searching around for a while, and along with this thread, I found another (link below), that provides links to and HTC sense keyboard .apk that can be used instead of the stock CM7 keyboard. I used the Sense keyboard for almost a year on my Incredible S before I installed CM7, and so really miss the long press for special characters, as well as the auto-correct feature I came to rely on so much.

My question is, If I download and install one of these .apk's (either the one in this thread, or the thread I linked), SHOULD it work on the Incredible S, or do I need to find an .apk specific to my phone. I tired installing the one from the link, but when trying to switch to it in the Messaging app, it just force closes right away.

Apologies if there is already a thread related to this for the Incredible S. I did some searching but couldn't find anything. And of course, Thanks in advance for any help you folks can provide.

Guys,

Does anyone knows how can I install Gingerbread keyboard on my DHD/stock ROM/2.3.5/sense 3.0 (of course I have rooted, ENG OFF, S- OFF?

I would appriciate if someone can find me the zip file so I can flash and remove the official htc sense keyboard.

Thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] djolebih:
Seriously dude? There is a Q&A thread for things like this for one and yout question has nothing to do with themes.

You can just download gingerbread keyboard from the market and enable it from settings.

Got it.

Thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] circleofomega:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but the HTC_IME_hi22 actually worked on my RaZr. Only problem, there is a bit of a gap on the right side. So the keyboard seems to be slightly 'left aligned' badly put.

Can any1 help me with this. Am on RaZr, qHD screen.
[G Tablet General] bandityo:
Got me a Gtab today and the micro sd card wont stay in. I push it in all the way, with the contacts to the back of the device and she just keeps popping out. I tried another card and it did the same.

Whats the trick to keep the micro sd card in the slot ?

David
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
There is no trick - once you insert it all the way in, it should "click" into place. You might actually have a defective device.
[G Tablet General] alleykat2561:
Push it further into the slot by a couple of millimeters, below the top of the slot.

Then you will here the "click".
[G Tablet General] bandityo:
Thanks...that worked! Used something to push it in further than my nail could reach and she stayed in.

Thanks guys
[G Tablet General] Polycron:
I have the same issue. At first I thought it wasn't being pushed in far enough, but even bottomed out it would not click. I have a friend who had the same problem and his magically worked one time and he hasn't taken it out since.

I found that if I come in at a little bit of an angle I can hear a very quiet snap, then when I take it back out and put it in normally I get the normal click and it stays put. I have repeated this numerous times. It is almost like the internal clip sticks to the side and needs to be convinced to pop back out a bit so the card can actually engage it.

Of course this is all conjecture, I have no clue how the locking mechanism actually works nor can I see in the slot well enough to see if there is something funny going on in there. So my observation is purely touch, feel and sound based. I would be interested if anyone has a different opinion or suggestion as I'm a bit afraid to pop the card for fear it will not go back in the next time.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've had several GTAB's and never had a problem, but it takes a bit of trial and error to get it just right. The sad part is that they could have moved the mechanism just a bit and allowed the SD to protrude, and it probably would have fixed this problem.

I can't cut my nails, for fear that I won't be able to get the darn thing out.
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
I used a screwdriver to get mine in. You really have to push it in quite a bit farther than you would think necessary to get it to lock.

[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
Anyone find a way to get this thing to force 3g only? I used to do it on android and it saved battery life because the phone wasn't constantly searching for signal. Not to mention when switching from 3g to edge i completely lose signal for a moment. Doesn't happen on my wife's HD7.
[Venue Pro General] mrancier:
Someone posted this at the Dell forums :
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Nice find and thanks. Will see if it works.
[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
tried that on this phone and the HD7 the setting does not stick.
[Venue Pro General] mrancier:
It resets immediately ? I have seen this happen with other phones. If it cannot find signal for a long period of time, it goes back to defaults. Must be a spec feature. Bummer.
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
well of course if the 3g signal cant be obtained then it has no choice but to go to edge. I think it is about time tmobile invest in some femtocell.
[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
I appreciate the opinions guys, but I did this on my G1 and my Nexus one and it never defaulted to anything then 3g. Might be a Winpho 7 thing. Thanks anyhow
[Venue Pro General] mrancier:
In my case, the setting stuck, but I lost data several times. Had to change it back to auto and reboot to get data back.it seems the radio on this thing has major issues or plain sucks. I live in a 4g market and the signals around here are supposed to be strong. I cannot get a steady 3G signal above 2 bars. Edge, however, seems strong, but the minute the phone sniff even a little 3G, it starts flipping between modes.

I am unable to get any screen capture apps to work. They supposedly take pictures, but they are always black screens. I have tried ScreenCapture and DroCap2 locally.

I have viewed the image files on another computer to make sure they were really black. Any ideas?

I use DDMS, which is part of the Android SDK (the same set of tools that gives you ADB). If you can get ADB to work, then DDMS should work, as well.

What rom are you using? I couldn't get screen cap to work w/ Cyanogen b4 but it works w/ Vegan b3, this was through DDMS.

Good question - cyanogen might not work (I believe I had heard this, before). TnT Lite and VEGAn work, and I believe zPad does as well.
[G Tablet General] crsboca:
OK, thanks, I tried that and it worked. I guess I can uninstall all those screen capture apps since none of them seem to work.

I've got the SDK running through Eclipse. Not sure how I get the SDK to see my Gtablet. I have a AVD defined for my "gtab" but there's no where to setup the connection via USB or WiFi that I can see.

Sorry for the noob questions, my first time with the Andriod SDK.

Thanks for any direction you can give.

[G Tablet General] HKChad:
Did you do the stuff in here about setting up ADB?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827209

I guess you are on Windows? In Ubuntu 'it just works' odd I know. Now I had to go into the device manager and delete the drivers that windows assigned to the gtablet before making those mods to the inf file, there were 2 entries I had to delete but YMMV.

good luck

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] webwalk®:
hi everybody, befor i found this site i found a way to browse the phones marketplace.. now i got the full emulated phones rom but the marketplace is not working on it. you cant access the marketplace. with the latest rom i get the " service unavailible right now check back later " but like i said i can show u how to take a sneak peak with your emulated win7phone.

so

see some facts:

you cant login to the marketplace

you cant use the FULL win7phone Rom you found here

you ONLY can search and look at availible apps and games

youll need the sdk

if you dont have get it from here:

create(dot)msdn(dot)com /en-us/home/getting_started

install and open.

create a new project, just a normal windows phone application

now press play to start the windows phone emulator

the phone will now boot and start your application

press back and open the internet explorer

browse to google(dot)de (.com may work too)

there ull see a link to install google phone tools, follow it and get redirect to zune. it will now try to open marketplace. you should get the error message.

press ok, then just reload the zune redirect page, by clicking the top left reload button. the marketplace should open now and show the google app.

now you can scoll down, press "find more by google"

now you can search for apps.

searching for "a" only will result in more then 1 hit.

enjoy. if you find another way feel free to post it.

[Desire General] angriest:
Hi,

I'd appreciate some advice (having searched as best I can first, and without hijacking another thread) - I'm a Nexus One user (running CM6.1, and very happy with it), but my wife's Desire (currently unrooted stock latest OTA update) has a sucky habit of running the battery down to zero every so often when she's not using it and I've been thinking a custom ROM is the way to go. However, there's a lot of roms for the desire, and I can't work out which meets the requirements best:

1) Must appear to be a stock Sense rom to the user (she's just got used to the UI, and I don't want her to get flustered) - I'd like something that seems as much like the stock rom as possible please.

2) Best possible battery life (happy to try uv if it's unobtrusive)

Any replies very much welcome, ta.
