Hey guys, I am the developer for SurfCube. First, thanks for liking it... :)

FYI, we didn't have to code a new browser engine, SurfCube uses the built-in browser. However, we did have to do work for the cube effect, accelerometer support, orientation lock, bandwidth saver, and a lot of other features.

Let me know if you have questions.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vbandi:
Please, I want to meet that Android developer, and pay for the 24 hours of work of porting SurfCube. Seriously.

Very cool!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] matthewjulian:
Well dev, I say listen to your customers....you are talking to a community of devs & users that say they like your work and want it, yes we could find a way to code it, but I can say that I would be glad to pay a buck or two to have this rather than spend the time to get it up and running, and I'm sure that others here feel the same, most of us have put in the time to build things and have no issue with paying others for their hard work. Food for thought :-)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vbandi:
Sure I am listening... but I am a Windows Phone 7 developer, and have no Android experience. That's why I said that if somebody wants to work on SurfCube for Android, I am willing to pay. Especially if it can be done in 24 hours (which I highly doubt - this was a lot more on WP7, which is the most productive dev platform out there).

:) Have you heard about the SWAGG APP? Swagg is a mobile app for your Droid that makes gift giving and gift card managing easier than ever. The app allows users to buy and send gift cards to anyone on their Droid. If you get a gift card purchased on Swagg that you don’t really care for, you can even swap it for one of Swagg’s other participating merchants including; American Apparel, Crocs, ArdenB, Wet Seal, American Eagle, Live Nation, 1800flowers.com, Omaha Steaks & Steve Madden. Then, you use your gift card on your phone, just like a credit card – the clerk just scans the bar code they send you!

Once you’ve downloaded Swagg to your phone, you will automatically receive exclusive offers from Swagg retail partners and other local businesses for discounts towards your next purchase. You can also scan and store your existing plastic gift cards for better, clutterless management and the Swagg App will keep track of your balances at the same time.

Not only is the app free, for every download and activation, Swagg will donate $1.00 to Stand Up 2 Cancer between now and 12/31/11 or up to $125,000, whichever comes first.

You can download the App via your Droid phone!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StonyWil:
I can't find this anywhere so far, so I thought I'd ask you guys.

I recently updated the ROM to thr newer Tmobile one on HTCs website. First the camera stopped working, hard reset solved that one. Now it's doing something else.

If I take a landscape shot I get a small set of interference lines across the top of the image, if I take a portrait shot the interference lines become a large wedge down one side of the image. These lines are not there when the phone shows a preview image, but when I look at the saved image the interference is there. Presumably that makes it a software issue.

Is there a way to reinstall the camera?

I attached a portrait image to show the effect.

Cheers for any help,

Tony.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russpattaya:
reflash/update the rom again. then when started up, reset by switching off your mobile. Once started up, now try the camera. If you stiil have the same problem, then flash back to the original rom, before the update. See if its ok on that one.

[Epic 4G General] Restola:
I'm using the original USB cable from the box plugged into the back USB port on my PC.

I've tried simply plugging it in, "USB device not recognized".

i've installed the samsung drivers for the epic 4g, "USB device not recognized".

I've installed the samsugn galaxy S windows 7 64bit drivers, "USB device not recognized".

I've installed PDAnet, wouldn't finish the install because windows couldn't see the phone.

The phone worked fine on a windows XP laptop when I installed the samsung drivers from the epic 4g page on samsung's website.

Any advice?
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:
Buy a better usb cable or try a different usb port on your computer. My phone only works with one of the four on my computer.
[Epic 4G General] 1greek4u:
I've used the stock cable for everything, works fine for me. Make sure it's a USB port that's directly connected to your motherboard.
[Epic 4G General] Restola:
It is. The back of my PC has 6 ports all directly connected to the motherboard.
[Epic 4G General] Restola:
OK I got it "fixed".

One (and only 1) of my front ports will work with the samsung epic 4g drivers from the samsung support page. None of he 6 on the back will work.

Weird...but if it's working it's working.
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:

Do you mean like mouse, right? So you can scroll everywhere not only 4 way navigation, it's like what Samsung did in its Omnia I pad, right?

Unfortunately, I haven't heard any developer to develop this kind of driver @ SEX1. But if you really want the mouse (still 4 way navigation) yes, there is. But it's laggy and paid. Anyway, I think you have posted in the wrong place. It's not a ROM and it's better that you post in Question and Answer or Applications...

There. That is the link to the original location of the file.

I guess i need to work on making dropbox links.
[Gen8 Android Development] foh1981:
There's a couple of things wrong, since it's mixing terminal commands with doing things entirely via the GUI (Step 4 more precisely). It also seems it's mixing guides from different sources, there's a couple of redundant steps. I don't think you've done these steps as they stand, they wouldn't have worked :)

This is my suggestion:

Step 1.

Download SDK and extract it

Step 2.

Run android shell script in extracted_folder/tools (just double click and choose run in Ubuntu). If you just want adb then it's sufficient to mark only "Android SDK Platform-tools revision 1" for installation. The adb executable ends up in extracted_folder/platform-tools, and already has the exacutable bit set.

Step 3.

For the device to show up with adb you need to do the udev step above, that is:

gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (in a terminal) and paste this in the file

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
ENV{PRODUCT}=="0e79/*", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0e79", MODE="0666"

In the same terminal, enter

gedit ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

and paste this in the file (or add at the bottom, if you already have it)

0x0e79

Step 4.

Enable USB Debugging on the Archos (Settings -> Applications -> Development) and connect it to the computer

Step 5.

Navigate to extracted_folder/platform_tools and run

./adb devices

(if nothing shows up, run ./adb kill-server followed by ./adb start-server and then ./adb devices again)

So what needs to be fixed in the guide is:

* the redundant step of downloading adb separately

* step 4 is really messed up, it's pasting terminal commands in the adb_usb.ini file and if it worked for you, it's because after pasting the terminal command you actually in Step 5 also echo the vendor ID to the end of file. Also, step 4 uses relative paths (./) to the adb executable, which indicates that the path step hasn't been done. Actually, come to think of it you get "no such file or directory" error if you enter ./adb if you don't happen to be in the right directory, so adding the adb folder to PATH isn't going to help.

Personally, I think the path step can be skipped altogether, but if people really want to be able to enter the adb command when they open a terminal window they should make sure the put the folder somewhere they plan to keep it. The best thing is for people to know how the basic terminal command works, as that is what they are using for adb anyway.
[Gen8 Android Development] pokejake2002:
Thanks. This is pretty much my first walkthrough so i appreciate your assistance.
[Gen8 Android Development] foh1981:
It's a good first attempt, you're detailed in your steps which is good. One thing which is nice though, is describing why something is done too, for example the case with adding the udev rule etc. Speaking of that, thanks a bunch for the info on that, wouldn't have gotten my Archos to show up without it :)
[Gen8 Android Development] pokejake2002:
Thanks. Haha.

I was really confused and I think most of what I did to get it to work was on accident.

I just didnt see any particular howtos on getting ADB for Archos Gen8 working in Ubuntu so I thought I would type one up based on how I got it to work and hope that smarter developers would correct me and help me to polish it.
[Gen8 Android Development] ajcurtis84:
The only way I have been able to connect to the Archos is to run as "root". Is this the purpose of the "nautilus" instruction? I thought the MODE="0666" would make the device accessible to all users. If I try this as a normal user, the device appears with "no permissions".

How do you fix this?
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
I thought the instructions from Archos were pretty clear. I've never had an issue with ADB in Linux.

Add Archos vendor ID (0x0e79) to adb_usb.ini in .android folder in your home directory:
Windows: echo 0x0e79 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
Macos: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
Linux: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

For Linux users only: You need to add a udev rule if ADB only works as root:
Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules that contains the following lines:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
ENV{PRODUCT}=="e79/*", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="e79", MODE="0666"
Make the rule known to udev with the following command:
udevadm control --reload-rules (or udevcontrol reload_rules on older systems)
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
It's important to ad ADB to your PATH. Many aapt tools and the like use it. And you can't just put ADB in every directory you want to work in. I do framework stuff in a framework folder, os stuff in others, etc. I'm not going to use the full path every time I type.

pokejake2002:

All that is really needed in this tutorial is "Download the SDK, extract, run ./tools/android and download the ADB driver. Add vendor id to .android/adb_usb.ini, then create udev rule /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules. Add export PATH=$PATH:(downloaded directory)/android-sdk/platform-tools to bash.rc"

That's it. I'm not sure what all that extra stuff is. You've done almost every step twice, and some are incorrect, such as the export path, you did it twice, and the actual path should be platform-tools, not just tools, and you echoed the vendor ID twice as well.

Also, nautilus is included by default in ubuntu > 7.0, so i'm not sure how it wasn't installed on 10.10.

Also, all the "./adb" lines should just be "adb" if you exported the path correctly, which like i said, is supposed to be platform-tools, not just tools.

Just FYI, not trying to flame, I can tell you don't have much experience, it's not a bad thing. But also, "(Hopefully if we get this working, it will be easier for developers to pull/ push files and get things working better.)" I don't know any developers who haven't had adb working from day one.

Just as the title says... I'm running a rooted stock ROM with sideloading enabled and was wondering if there was a way to change the lockscreen. I saw a couple floating around but they look like they required specific ROMs or 2.2 installed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
I doubt it. You could try fiddling around with the framework but I believe different lockscreens come from specific roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
It depends on the lockscreen. I know you can get the AOSP lockscreen for 2.1. If you want the glass lockscreen from one of the other SGS phones you would have to see about it. I have seen an app that was a lockscreen switcher, but I took a quick look in the market and didn't recognize which name it would have been. I attached the android.policy.odex for the AOSP 2.1 lockscreen.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonic240:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
One app (that costs unfort) that will do this is Widget Locker. It isn't 100% bug free though and your results may vary.

I know Design Gears had a stock lock screen posted on his site at one time for 2.1 ROMS but I dunno if it's there any more.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
You would unzip the file I put up. You could the use a file manager like root explorer or astronomical and move the file to its proper place. Back up the original android.policy.odex incase you need it.

This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

I synchronize my calendar through Activesync. I have been trying to modify some appointments (Change the time or just move them from one day to another). It seems the only option I have is to delete the appointment

Needless to say that it is not acceptable for a professional phone / tablet...

Am I doing it wrong, or if not is there a real Calendar app available somewhere ? (I guess Touchdown one works but I don't really like the look of Touchdown and was wodnering if there is anything else)

Jorte (market app) is pretty nice. I like the widgets, too. It can definitely edit events, but then I though that should work with every calendar. Never used activesync, though.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rogue9:
I don't believe that PI has any direct interaction w/ Exchange but rather it mirrors the native android calendar for the sync'd data and offers a better UI to manage the data.
