[G Tablet General] blhxda:
I would like to bookmark "driving directions" to my office with the "traffic" feature on... So that every morning I can turn on the tablet, push a button, and see the GoogleMaps representation of the morning's traffic.

I can get onto Googlemaps, and even turn on the traffic, but when I attempt to bookmark and return to the bookmark, the screen just goes white.

Any suggestions?
[General Topics] gab1972:
I have an app idea that I think is going to be HUGE!! I mean, the potential of this thing is way beyond any small time fart app or app to sync contacts. I'm talking growth.

I've started reading and soaking up the Android language, but by the time I could learn something on my own and do everything needed to market it, someone else may come along with the idea.

I want to assemble a team of a few developers, artists, and web builders to form a team. I have a narrative of the app, a general idea of marketing it, and a well planned out idea map. I just need to assemble the team.

I want people I can trust though. To me, the potential of this is likened to a winning lottery ticket - so I'm not going to just start blurting things out. I want to get interested people, talk, get to know each other and then I'll drop this killer idea.

Hi guys. Now, when we have root for 2.1, is there any chances for disable light sensor?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] racht:
Good point. That or ..

Original Eclair dialer would make this phone much better..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] csengoi:
Would be great to disable this damn light sensor. I don't understand why can't we disable it to the hell out??:confused:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Maze_fr:
The light sensor seams to be OAM apk, so maybe removing them would disable light sensor... I didn't try yet, so if someone try, let us know if it works.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] hugerth:
Where is it?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Maze_fr:
I did a misstake : it's not OAM but OMA.

And i think to remember that there were 2 OMA apk in system/app folder
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ripsy:
i have install "quick settings" and there is an option to turn on/off light sensor
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Maze_fr:
I installed it but I don't manage to find the option
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ripsy:
click to open the application

click menu button - settings

click on brightness (icon key)

sorry, i have my phone other language and i don´t know the exact words in english
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] IFLPI:
Sure but auto brightness still works no matter how u turn it off. Its a bit annoying.

Disable Light Sensor

I made it. now here the instruction:

1- download attach

2 - unpack it

3 - copy to the phone /etc/

4 - chmod 777

5 - reboot the phone

Thats all, you don't see work of this sensor.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] hugerth:
Ok, it works at 100%. But... Ekhm... brightness is just crazy now xd I think I prefered old settings ;p. I'll try it tommorow.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Blagus:
This doesn't work for me... I have 2.1-update1, latest pre-rooted Chinese firmware...

When I try to run it from adb it says something about /sys/... directory - "directory nonexistent", that it couldn't be created...

It's working now, I did it from xRecovery ;)

Thanks, it's great... and just like hugerth says, brightness is CRAZY!!! :D

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dviktor:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gompedyret:
Hi, all.

Could someone enlighten me a bit, what exactly do the light sensor do, and what would be the advantage (and disadvantage) of turning it off?

Cheers.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] droidjens:
The light sensor is what detects ambient light around the phone and automatically adjusts screen brightness to torch your eyes out.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gompedyret:
So, that's all it does. Completely useless, in other words. Thanks for the heads up.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Ryukenden:
Useless? No its not useless... Ambient light sensor is there for a reason. To keep your battery life a bit longer because u don't need much of screen light when u're in a brighter room or anywhere where there is plenty of light.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Blagus:
No its opposite, in bright room light is at max and in dark room its at low levels...

i have rooted my phone and it has xrecovery.. how to install this file??

i cant copy to /etc/ it says not allowed!!

and what in the world is chmod 777?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] skyboyextreme:
please some one tell me how to do this i'm also stuck because of the chmmod777 step :( i really hate this light sensor
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] esirad:
u must copy that file with root explorer , before paste ,select mount rw in root explorer . no need to chmod only copy that file.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] skyboyextreme:
i did that but the light sensor is still working ! :(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dikime:
Didn't work for me either, but it was a success after I changed permissions.

Just use root explorer - unzip the attachment, copy it to the SD, from root explorer --> copy/paste it to /etc folder, then long click on the file - Permissions --> the first 9 boxes (read, write, execute) should all be ticked. Then just reboot and you're ready :)

I have a problem rooting a friend's phone using gfree.

When I rooted my phone, I used a different method since it was in the early days of rooting the desire z. I've followed the instructions found here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2

Everything seems to work correctly until I execute ./gfree -f

At this point I get the error "Error reading input file" and the phone gets stuck (I have to remove battery to boot it up again).

Anyone has had this problem before? Possible fixes? Any help is appreciated.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsubus:
unfortunately i am not rooted (i can't even sync after ./gfree -f, gives an i/o error)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
You're running as root though (# prompt), so you have at least got temp root even if it isn't permanent.

You're getting an error when it tries to disable the write protection though, so I am guessing it is indeed temp root and you lose it after a reboot.

What ROM/kernel are you running exactly ? Some don't work with gfree.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stringbean82:
Am having the exact same problem as Tsubus.

Orginal rom, no updates applied.

details:

Vision PVT SHIP S-ON

MIRCOP-0425

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Which original ROM exactly though ? There are loads.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stringbean82:
Android version 2.2

Kernel 2.6.32.21

Software version 1.34.405.5
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Hmm, gfree should work fine on that version :confused:

What happened with Visionary ? I wonder if Visionary messed things up somehow ?

How much of a pain would it be for you to re-flash the ROM and see if it's happier after that ? (e.g. how difficult to get your data/settings back ?)

Let's see if anyone can come up with another idea.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stringbean82:
Am available for any test, been busy for the last 6 hours at work trying to get it to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Well, it should work perfectly with that ROM version. That's the same version that I'm using. If you don't mind re-flashing your ROM (with the same version) it could be worth a try. I am not saying that I think it will definitely fix it, this is a long shot, but I can't think what else to suggest right now.

Edit - have you also tried the older method using the "insmod" command, the one in the threads on rage ? That would be interesting to double-check that the insmod is coming up with the "wrong" error message, similarly showing that it failed to disable the NAND write protection.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsubus:
doesn't work with this on my friend's phone:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayde187:
You probably need to push superuser to your phone in a different way. I had a similar problem using gfree. Hold on and I will send you a link to the nook method that I used. You do this after you run rage and are in the root shell on terminal emulator. (Pound symbol at the beginning of the command line). once you push superuser this way it locks in itself. then you can run the ./gfree command hopefully. I never had a problem with that command before I got the proper superuser but it might help you. Wait 1 and I will send the link.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayde187:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Installing_su_and_the_Superuser_app

That should take you to the proper page. Don't run the first command that starts with unzip. Its easier to download the superuser zip to your desktop and then extract it to the root of Your android sdk tools folder. Aka put it in the tools folder and not inside any other folder that might be in your tools folder. Then run the next two commands on adb after you navigate to your androidsdk/tools folder to install. The next commands that you run in your root shell are run with terminal emulator. You should still be in a root shell if you used rage and haven't rebooted your phone. Pound sign will be present. Pm me if you have problems or if you are confused in any way.

Use the steps at Cyanogen's wiki and do use his files even if they are older then the files here at XDA.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayde187:
Weird. I had the problem with both the older and the new version of gfree.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Did you use the gfree from the Wiki here at XDA, or an older gfree ? Because those instructions in Cyanogen's Wiki are taken from the XDA Wiki, it's the same procedure and the same programs.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I had a look at the link and it's just a different way of copying Superuser.apk to your phone. It doesn't lock anything in, at that stage you've only got temp root so you're still only writing to cache (e.g. the mount command shown there isn't letting you write to permanent storage still, because you haven't disabled the NAND write protection yet unless you've used an "insmod" command or gfree to do so).

I don't know why that method worked differently for you compared to the other methods, but there's nothing special about it, and it seems more complicated to me (more steps to do the same thing).

Good that it worked for you though :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stringbean82:
Correct, only at the one of Cyanogen they still use version 2 of Gfree which works fine without the problems.

So I recommend if you ran into issues with gfree3 you try the one at Cyanogen's wiki.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Thanks for the info, I hadn't noticed that gfree has gone to version 0.03 on the Wiki (still at 0.02 at Cyanogen's page, as you say).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayde187:
It worked differently because I had run gfree with no problems before attempting to lock anything in. So I was unlocked before root was locked in. It was only when I attempted the data/local/tmp/root command that I had problems. Su wasn't responsive and nothing could get root access until I pushed su with the nook method. It was pretty weird, fattire recommended I try it and after I finished I didn't want to even try the lock in command again so I just typed su and voila! I rebooted and everything stuck.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Did you try pushing su and Superuser to the phone again (and setting permissions etc) in the original method ? Because I suspect that would have worked just as well. As I said though, the main thing is that it worked for you, and that's good.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Update - I spoke to guhl99 about gfree, and he said that there is indeed a problem with the 0.03 version of gfree. So the Wiki has been edited and changed back to point to the 0.02 version, which should work fine (except with the kernels noted as incompatible).

You can choose "RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1". Its the latest Eclair ROM.
[Wildfire Android Development] dud3me:
U need root for this right?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
For flashing a RUU, you dont need root. Just download the EXE, connect your device to your PC, and run it.

Iam using linux not windows.
[Wildfire Android Development] Forceflow:
I think you can extract the files from the executable then and just flash them after a wipe. Not sure though.
[Wildfire Android Development] nlovers2000:
you cannot unroot using a RUU in Linux.

for using a RUU you need windows xp
[Wildfire Android Development] GuestK00293:
Does RUU not check the installed version? I thought RUU would just push the rom.zip and allow the update like any other rom flash with its update_script that checks if it is a valid update.
[Wildfire Android Development] dud3me:
But if you want to go from froyo to eclair u need root right?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Sorry mate, I am really not aware of this, and, it will be best if you try it out. If it does need root, the process will likely fail, and, no harm will be done.
