As a developer myself I do not see / have any issues developing with a rooted device. I actually prefer using rooted devices as it is easier to debug in my opinion and much quicker to perform tasks. As for your IDE + ADB and other tools, they will not be affected unless you have VERY specific setups with your devices. I have never heard of any issues, so best of luck and if you have questions feel free to PM :)
[Android Software Development] CaffeineIndustries:
Thanks for the reply...

On to rooting I guess :eek: ... worst case; I just bang my head on the wall for a few hours getting the environment back to where she likes my code.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thigger_tom:
Hi,

My brother's desperate to get a bluetooth keyboard working with his HTC Hero (UK). Currently runs the stock HTC 2.1-update1.

It's easy enough to pair them (we've tried two) but they remain paired but unconnected. With my Galaxy S (stock 2.2.1) they work fine. I gather this is because the Hero doesn't support the SPP or HID profiles.

We've also tried most of the apps we can think of: Keypro (sits on 'connecting'), Blueinput (force-closes when you click to select they keyboard), the JP one (sits on 'connecting'). Looking at the forum for keypro it looks like they're aware of this issue and haven't yet been able to correct it.

I've heard rumours that people running custom ROMs (eg based on Cyanogenmod) have been able to get keyboards working.

So - has anyone managed to get a bluetooth keyboard working with one of these devices, and if so how? Would prefer a solution that keeps Sense installed but he says he'll let me go to vanilla android.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thigger_tom:
For the benefit of future users (and because the forum seems to be littered with questions like this!) we managed to get it working by installing FroydVillain 1.7.2.

Main problem was the lack of a flash_image binary to install the nandroid recovery image, but we copied over one we downloaded and it worked without issue.

Keyboard was recognised immediately and works fine as an HID device.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sperug:
That's interesting! But could you detail, what were the steps of this successful installing? I also have an old bt keyboard, which I'm unable to use with the hero... Thank's if you can explain any more...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sperug:
Thank you, you were very kind! But it seems basically only a normal fv installation on a rooted phone... Only I become a bit confused with all the /data/system operations... I can try installing fv 1.72, but at the moment I don't want to give back my floyo 1.20, which is more responsive (in my phone), but gives no sinal of accepting to connect the paired bt...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thigger_tom:
Yes - it was just a new ROM install which did the job - only the lack of flash_image and the lengthy bootup before we removed the sd card confused us so hopefully it's useful to someone trying the same.

I've not heard of Floyo - but the reason I decided to try FroydVillain was that it was CyanogenMod-based rather than HTC sense based as I heard that HTC don't include bluetooth HID support in their ROMs.

The CyanogenMod changelog http:##wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Changelog suggests that HID support has been included since 6.0.0 so I'd expect anything based on CyanogenMod since that should be fine. I chose FroydVillain simply because my brother's not very techy and I wanted a fairly mainstream ROM for him...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sperug:
Not so simple...! Out of curiosity, I went to install froyd villain, but as I imagined the result was the same! "Paired but not connected"... It seems that when you rooted the hero, something remained in /system, no idea what was it! If a developer could read this, perhaps he could understand what happened... Floyo is simply another rom based on cm... the difference is all in the rooting process, seemingly...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] taknil:
Not for me

Hi Guys,

as I have been running Froyd Villain 1.7.2 for a rather long time now I thought I might give it a try. As there is an Apple Bluetooth keyboard dusting around here I had quite high hopes.

The pairing process worked well and it shows an Icon with the BT Symbol encased in Black and two arrows. In the BT settings it tells me that I am connected to a BT device, never the less, no matter what input field I choose, I cannot type on the BT keyboard. There is no other Input method I could choose from either so it's still not working for me.

Damn.

What keyboard where you using?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
I always thought that both sensors were incorporated in the sensor to the right of the speaker grille, but one day I got another camera phone and had a look at the speaker/sensor combination while my DHD was making a call. There seemed to be some IR light coming from behind the grille itself. Is the proximity sensor really placed behind the grille?
[Android] jpdediego:
Hi there!

I was wondeing how to create my custom ROM using xRecovery for Xperia?

One thing I don't know how to do is to delete my google account so others have to use their own.

I could'n find any tuto arround.

Any sugestion?

Thx
[Android] Thijs96:
You could start with modifying existing ROMs. For example:

framework-res.apk

All the apps, you can unpack the .apk's, located in /system/app/ and replace the icons.

services.jar

Much, much more.

After that, you can try making a Nexus One or Nexus S kernel from the AOSP, and if you succeed, try looking up some tutorials.

Please note that for building the AOSP source, you need a 64-bit Ubuntu (or another Linux distro) or Mac. Building on Windows is currently not supported. If you don't have a 64-bit machine, you can still build Eclair ROMs, Froyo and above is 64-bit only.
[Android] SXUsr:
As for a custom rom, even the experienced devs have only just cracked it, sort of. You can however use the Kitchen to modify and theme an S.E rom with Zdzihu's xRecovery which is what I and others are currently doing.

Anybody have or know of a decent app that will download torrents directly to my android device? I have both the Moto Droid and Samsung Galaxy Tab.

I've come across several good apps for remotely installing torrents to PC from an android device...but only one or two in the official market that claim to be able to download directly to the device...and they weren't rated too well.

But you will still have to root your current firmware and then install that. That guide is here:

[Vibrant General] illego:
I've been flashing the new leak ROMs from TW and Eugene the last few months and my GPS has been locking 8-9 birds in a few seconds within 30 feet with GPS test app. However when using Navigation, it still jumps around after a few minutes and become unusable.

I noticed that while GPS Test locks my location in a few seconds, Navigation still takes a minute or two to lock. I decided to get a lock in GPS test first then switch to navigation with GPS Test still running in the background. I got an instant lock in Navigation. Leaving GPS Test running in the background, I have been able to use Navigation for the last two weeks continuously without any problems. It might be a coincidence and I have nothing other than my experience to back it up. Hopefully a few people can test this out and see if it fixes the problem for them.

ROMS tested: Ginger Clone R1/R2 and Nexus V3.

GPS Test app by Chartcross.
[Vibrant General] XiaoSiuMai:
i been using axura 2.2 with jk6 modem. i would say that on average i get a gps lock in about 10-15 seconds. about 80% of the time its just right. other times im like 1 street off. after driving for like 2 mins it corrects itself and is accurate.
[Vibrant General] illego:
My point is that with GPS test running in the background I do not get the "jump to wrong street" anymore. Been working perfectly.
[Vibrant General] Yellow C6:
I need to try it.
[Vibrant General] samnada:
I noticed the same thing, leave GPS Test running, and Nav locks instantly. Unfortunately I had some freezes in Nav that made me stop using that technique. Some research indicated Google Nav freezes were happening on a variety of different phones, but I didn't go back to the background GPS Test after the bad luck I had. Now that Maps 5.0 is out maybe the freeze problem has been fixed. I'll try it again and see.

We seriously need to calm down and post in a civilized manner. I see far too many immature and unnecessary posts that only flame at other posts. There is no reason to tell someone they're stupid for posting something from an ignorant's perspective. If they don't know and they're asking, then politely point them in the right direction. No need to bash on them. Granted, there are some pretty stupid/idiotic questions asked here (some intended for trolling) but still, DONT FEED THE FIRE. Let it go, calm down, and post like they are right in front of you. DONT HIDE BEHIND THE INTERNET TO GET AWAY WITH DISRESPECTING OTHERS! It seriously gets old fast. Act like adults please!

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Replies are always "wow. You should've searched." Um...the xda app doesn't search. It fc's. And also, whosdaman likes to close general threads about people that wanna know thins about froyo or any other "GENERAL" question.

Not everyone is on these forums 24/7 to be knowing that updates that were announced weeks ago were suddenly canceled.

Not everyone is tech savvy enough to use odin.

Not everyone undertsands the differences between dk28 and di18.

If you're gonna respond by telling someone they should search before posting, why not give them a link to follow leading them to the appropriate thread? That way they can see "oh crap. I should search next time, cuz that's what I was looking for." Assuming they're not on the app, ofcourse.
[Epic 4G General] ghmacdonald:
And sometimes you follow the instructions and it just won't work for you. (I know, I couldn't get odin to work for me until I used a different cable.) I had lots of help down to step by step instructions. Without the help, I would still have a dead Epic.

I also second keeping thing civil. If we don't we will chase away a lot of good people and information.

George
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I agree with the OP every bit.

And besides, at one point even the most tech savvy people were noobs. Everyone had to start somewhere, and asking questions is a good way to learn. Now the pointless questions are about the "delayed" updates Samsung promises. Although, there is no point to get into that once again. The search feature on the XDA app doesn't work, which is also not helpful to new members at all. I agree, just point them in the right direction, and move on, without the snotty attitude. It really isn't that difficult.

I'll be honest, I'm only 14, and I know better than to be rude or swear on the internet when someone isn't familiar with something new.

[HD7 General] thesecondsfade:
I have gotten pretty bad reception on my new HD7 over the past week or so since buying my HD7. Is this a known problem with the HD7?

It seems like each phone I get from HTC has worse reception than the last one. AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) had amazing reception, Touch Pro 2 had good reception, HD2 had just okay reception, HD7 has awful reception. Is this a radio problem? Is there a way to fix it?

On my HD2 I had to put it in 3G only just to keep my 3G speeds because it kept going back to Edge throughout the entire day. Setting the HD7 up for 3G only loses reception all the time and keeping it on Automatic of 2G only is not that much better. Someone please help if you can.
