Hi,do you install the apk application ?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
Maybe it goes in /data/app/
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] brk3:
That's what I'm wondering..
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dashrink:
Did u change the permissions of the apk?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] brk3:
Yes actually, it was the only thing I could of. Changed them to match the other apks in the directory, rw_r_r.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wigwam12:
First noticed this a week ago.

I have installed CHT 2.0 [didn't seem to happen] and then installed the Dinik task manager and Touch of Glass homescreen theme.

I then put a toggle switch for wifi in the quicklinks and sporadically noticed wifi would be on.

As the quicklink was on the first row of the home screen I thought maybe I was touching it accidently [although I didn't really believe it].

Moved it to another screen anyway.

Since then I have done a hard reset having installed latest wwe rom and reinstalled cht 2.0/diniks taskbar and the TOG theme and the toggle switch [on a 2nd screen].

I have noticed today that the wifi seems to turn on when there is no phone reception so nothing to do with touching the toggle switch etc.

Never happened before though in the year I have had the phone and obviously it is not ROM-linked.

Anyone any idea what the cause might be and how to stop it?

Yes I do have my gmail account on push email via activesynch BUT I have had this from day dot and anyway push is supposed to be turned off overnight but I occasionally wake to find it on in the morning.

I have just set up the phone exactly how I like it so am loathe to remove cabs one at a time to find the culprit if there is an easier way!

Help appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russpattaya:
Hi, Nothing is wrong just remove Gmail, and add it as normail mail, see if this stops. Then re-try it again via sync to see if the prob comes back.

But I have had Gmail as my Activesynch account for nearly a year with no problems.

Why should that be a problem?

As i happens Activesync had a bit of a freak-out this morning so I had to do this anyway (remove Gmail account and add it again)

Guys I tried the search with no luck. I just purchased a galaxy i9000 and managed to move the message icon out of the dock. I have tried to get it back with no luck, anybody know how to fix this without resetting the factory settings? I do appreciate it.

Randy
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazrazr:
just take away one of the icon in the dock (normal : Phone,Contact,SMS and Menu)by go to the apps drawer click menu and edit and hold on the icon you want to take it off from the dock and put it back in the drawer and hold&drag the message icon into the dock.

Flashed euro rom 2 days ago. Everyhing worked fine til this morning. It's stuck in portrait mode. Can't find settings to change it. Tried rebooting and it didn't work. Googled and found no answers. Anyone have a suggestion?
[Galaxy Tab General] caveman999:
Have you checked the orientation lock? If you look at the pull down notification bar, it should be one of the buttons (its the one on the far right on my tab, it should be the same for you).

thanks

I'm an idiot. Completely missed that!
[Galaxy Tab General] caveman999:
I'm glad I could help.
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
Don't worry. Happened to me too a while ago. Spent a few days uninstalling and reinstalling stuff that I thought might be causing it...turns out it was the lock.
[Galaxy Tab General] leetut:
im stuck in portrait mode

orientation lock works but im stuck in portrait mode regardless of how its set

movies still play in landscape mode but nothing else is landscape

ive only had the device for a couple of days so it cant be a hardware issue and ive never touched any system files,

can this be fixed or has anyone else experienced this?:confused:

edit:

fixed with a hard reset

(i think it was launcher pro that caused it but not totally sure)

I can across a database of extracted Nokia roms but have never came across one for HTC or 'XDA' phones and operating systems. I was wondering if someone can develop something like this

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f83...-nokia-files-dowloader-more-powerful-1037766/

I am more than happy to host files on my website as long as it is legal in the UK.

I was also hoping we can incorporate the mobile OS's xda-devs work on as well as have downloads from shipped-roms.com

I can host all custom roms.

Is anyone up for this? I am no advance programmer.

[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
Was just wondering which websites people follow for their fix of WP7 news. I myself have found a couple of good ones, but none of them are big enough to be my only source of news.

Anyway, here's my list:

WMPowerUser - Great site that does a couple of app and game reviews daily and usually has the best coverage about WP7 news. Only negative is that sometimes they seem just a tad biased, but I guess that's a given with a dedicated site.

WP Central - Good site that also does at least one review daily. But also lacks in comparison to the amount of news found on WMPU.

PocketNow - One of the only mobile sites that does an equal amount of coverage for WP7 as the other platforms. Plus there's a filter above their article previews which means you can choose to only read about WP7 news if you want.

Best WP7 Games - Bad name, but a truly excellent site. I just found it a couple of days ago and it's my new favorite for game reviews and news. I have discovered a lot of great games I literally had no idea about.

So, what are yours?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:

Marketplace browser sites

WP7 App List looks great. It gives a very nice statistics:

http://wp7applist.com/stats/

AppsFuze gives you direct links to an application page + shows app rating.

Marketplace Browser is easiest to be found in Google :) It allows posting comments/answers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CyKin:
Nice topic !

Personnaly, mine are MonSmartphone.net with it's nice design (it reminds me of my smartphone WP7). It covers main news about Windows Phone 7 (and WP7 enabled smartphones) and some games/apps weekly.

It has everything about WP7, even a marketplace. The bad : only in French :'(

I also like Engadget, really awesome, a reference ! Covers nearly everything about gizmos and technologies.

Finally, MobileTechWorld for his nice articles, reviews and news about Windows Phone 7 ;)

[Windows Phone 7 General] djca:
WMPoweruser.com has to tone down their ads though. I particularly hate that big block of ads separating the blog post and the comments section. Not to mention the irrelevant Goodyear tire ads (which Pocketnow also displays).

I know the ads support the site, but there's a point where too many ads make the ads themselves ineffective/irrelevant.

I'm working on making my website the premier site for WP7 game news and reviews. http://www.m-arcade.com/ - I haven't officially launched it yet. I plan to do that sometime next week, but from that point forward I hope to provide frequent game reviews (with video) and also relevant news.

One thing I did with my site was made it incredibly easy for people to log in and comment, both in the blog and the forums, which I hope encourages discussion that will lead to better game updates, and also more informed game purchases.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pborner:
Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade certain parts of the phone, i.e. processor, camera, audio card, etc. I view my phone alot like a pc, and i built my own pc...so i thought to myself. Is there a way to build an android phone? or maybe upgrade existing parts? I think it would be awesome if we were able to pick and choose what we want in our phones! Personally id like a faster processor, and more internal memory. But i feel it'd be beneficial to all people who only use their phones to do certain things and may not want other "Stock" accesories. Maybe not, Let me know what you think/know about this! Id be interested in building my own android device!

Thanks!

Pascal Borner
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sorry but this would be really unrealistic. The battery is one thing, but phones are so compact and dense that parts aren't really made to take out and put in. I know what you mean, I build computers for a living.

But the parts in phones aren't socketed or use slots, so even just to start would require major unsoldering. I briefly tried to find out how many pins the ARM v6 processor of the Eris has. I'm sure it's a lot, perhaps not as many as the 940-pin AMD AM3 or the 1366-pin Intel Core i7, but it's probably in the hundreds.

And then we're dealing with compatibilities. In desktop processors, they keep the same pin architecture for at least a couple years (but you can find the same architecture for at least five). But they probably don't worry about that with phone processors since they're even more dense than laptops so each and every phone has to be made from scratch, so, for instance, the ARM v7 probably wouldn't fit where an ARM v6 was. There's also the software compatibility. I don't know if they make ARM v6's of different processor frequencies, but I doubt it. Even if they did, you'd still have to deal with the many, many pins.

It's doubtful that they have unused spots for RAM in these phones, and it's doubtful you could just remove the existing RAM and replace it with larger without having problems, but even if so, you're still dealing with all of the pins, procuring compatible RAM of a larger logical size...

You get the idea. :D I guess I'm just a big ray of sunshine!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
The FCC probably would object to roll-your-own cell phones, too...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pborner:
Thanks for your helpful info. I guess that makes sense. I saw a website (from a European country) that you can order a phone and pick parts from them, I.e. size of internal/external drive, different MP for the camera, flash/no flash(camera) , etc. I forget the company but if you like ill post a link to it when I find it. Once again, thanks for the explaination!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sure, no problem. Back a while (maybe years now) there was a similar offering by some company for laptops where you could upgrade parts of it at a later time because it was more modular than most laptops at the time. You could almost always upgrade CPUs on laptops as long as they were socketed, and you still can now, it just requires downloading a service manual to find out what the best order of disassembly is in order to do so, so it's not for the everyday user.

But only laptops with discrete video cards have the possibility to upgrade them, although I have no experience with these kind of laptops so I don't know how easy that is.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KTM Stretch:
but...

So i was checking out stuff on replacing screen etc on an samsung s3, and i also found a section where it shows how to replace camera and motherboard, this is to replace with the exact same one obviously. But i was wondering if maybe you could find a similar camera from a different phone that may fit? I know i cant really answer the question...sorry but just adding input. And another question came to mind with regard to the upgrading of hard ware, is if it were possible lets say to upgrade the camera to a better megapixel, would there be a conflict with the os etc, ie in the coding for the phone is it configured to only be able to process and capture a picture of megapixel of the stock camera. not sure if that makes any sense:confused:

[Nexus S Android Development] k0mpresd:
want to edit your boot.img?

included files in zip: mkbootimg (i compiled this file from android source), unpack-bootimg.pl, repack-bootimg.pl

i edited the repack script to compile the nexus s img correctly.

--base 0x30000000 --pagesize 4096

first dump original boot.img:

cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/boot.img

then drag/drop to your linux box to edit file.

use unpack script:

./unpack-bootimg.pl boot.img

you will end up with 2 compressed files and 1 folder.

finished editing and want to repack boot.img, for example:

./repack-bootimg.pl <kernel> <ramdisk-directory> <outfile>

most info and scripts pulled from here: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images, thanks to the original author.

test your new boot.img:

fastboot boot boot.img
[Nexus S Android Development] swetland:
Two things:

1. if you have any bad blocks in your boot partition, this method will fail to extract the boot.img (you need to skip bad blocks, but cat will just get an error)

2. you can replace just the kernel (leaving the ramdisk and parameters intact) using:

% fastboot flash zimage zImage

The bootloader will read-modify-write the boot partition, replacing the kernel only.
[Nexus S Android Development] k0mpresd:
how would you skip bad blocks? i never thought of a phone as having bad blocks. :p
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
All flash devices can have bad blocks. But it usually isn't something the end user would notice, unless there are so many and something is wrong that you're losing drive space.

edit: more info here if your curious http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
hmm, very strange thing happening to me. I've only gotten my boot.img to compile and boot successfully once with this method, but now I can't seem to get it to compile? I keep getting errors of the file name or file type. I'm using the correct usage.. If I compile manually with mkbootimg on the cmd line it'll compile but it won't boot. Just bootloops at the Google splash..
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
Jroid try my Matr1x kernel and see what happens
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
The problem seems to be compiling the boot with the perl scripts, not the kernel itself.
[Nexus S Android Development] Chamb':
Try manually:

Once unpacked do the boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz with the following command (moved to the ramdisk folder):

#sudo find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../<your boot name>.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz

Then cd ../

And repack:

#./mkbootimg --kernel <your boot name>.img-kernel.gz --ramdisk <your boot name>.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz --base 0x30000000 --pagesize 4096 -o boot.img
[Nexus S Android Development] python08:
It won't work on the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
exactly, i'd love to be able to do this for some testing but it doesn't allow me.

EDIT: yes it does. Swetland is right
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
I've tied compiling a boot both manually (with cmdline) and with the perl scripts and have used a simple kernel.gz and ramdisk.cpio.gz for my file names.. doesn't really matter what I name it as long as it has the correct file format in this .gz and .cpio.gz right? the manual compile goes fine with base 0x30000000 and pagesize 4096

however, it does not boot and will bootloop at the Google splash
[Nexus S Android Development] Chamb':
Used boot.img extracted from (what ROM ?) cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 ?

Is the phone start with this boot.img (unchanged) if you flash it by typing "fastboot flash..." ?

After that, just try to unpack and repack the boot.img without changes on ramdisk or kernel, if it works that means your changes suck (^^). :)

These commands (or perl scripts) work perfectly for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Lol I will try doing that. The boot.img I used is from stock 2.3.4, edited the ramdisk (specifically init.rc & init.herring.rc)

Like I said, first time I used the perl scripts I edited my ramdisk, threw in a netarchy kernel, it compiled fine and booted. Now if I use the perl script to repack with an aosp kernel, it gives me an error about file name and/or extension being wrong. Or complains it can't find mkbootimg when its there and executable. I'll re run it again and post errors

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
he guys where is the boot image located? not the animation, the google logo at the start of the booting!
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
ok so when I used the repack-bootimg.pl script, it kept giving me this error:

boot.img-kernel.gz Not a directory at ./repack-bootimg.pl line 13.

So I ran mkbootimg manually, without a cmdline comment as stated above. It compiled

and booted beautifully all stock with no init.rc or init.herring.rc edits.

however when I compile a boot.img coupled with a stock kernel and a modified ramdisk, I get a non-booting boot.img. One came out at 2.9 mb and the other at 5.6 mb neither boots using the same cmd that compiled the working boot. Must be my edits.. I literally only changed about 1 line in init.rc and another line in init.herring.rc that causing it not to boot.

By the way, I got some info on a stock boot.img using the unpackbootimg binary (not the perl script) and here's what it outputs:

#BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE console=ttyFIQ0 no_console_suspend
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE 30000000
BOARD_PAGE_SIZE 00001000

I enter that pagesize and it says it's not a valid value when I compile boot.img's

Sorry for the Control C Control V of it, but I just found this topic now..

I`m facing this problem when I try to unpack boot.img..

I have done it 2 days ago but dunno why, now I can`t..

Follows what is happening..

thomas@thomas-Latitude-E4300:~/NS-bootwork$ ./unpack-bootimg.pl boot.img

Found a secondary file after the ramdisk image.
According to the spec (mkbootimg.h) this file can exist,
but this script is not designed to deal with this scenario.

The Kernel is built, as a zImage and the WLAN as a bmc3429.ko..

Just repeating, I have built this Kernel 2 days ago in the same way, without any problems, but now I`m struggling on the message after inputting ./unpack-bootimg.pl boot.img..

Dunno what else to try, I re-downloaded the unpack-bootimg.pl from 2 different sources, and still the same error..

Any ideas?

Many thanks..

P.S.: Ubuntu 11.04 x64..

EDIT

Well, I already solve it!

That is what I did..

As unpack-bootimg.pl was not working (don`t know why) I used split_bootimg.pl script, splitting the boot.img and created new ramdisk img..

./split_bootimg.pl boot.img
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../newramdisk.cpio.gz

Then after just compiled the Kernel with

./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk newramdisk.cpio.gz --base 0x30000000 --pagesize 4096 --cmdline _console_suspend=1 console=bull's -o newtestboot.img'no

Witches includes " --cmdline _console_suspend=1 console=bull's" to not break BT functionality, in the case of Nexus S..

I found the tools here work well: http://glandium.org/blog/?p=2214

...if you then use the code originally posted above:

./mkbootimg --kernel <your boot name>.img-kernel.gz --ramdisk <your boot name>.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz --base 0x30000000 --pagesize 4096 -o boot.img
