No worries, I just read your post wrong. I have a knack for that. I'm usually posting and read with two little boy distractions in the background, lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wiggedoutmom:
Tazz,

Think your doing a great thing by picking up this ROM and trying to help us out. Especially noob`s like me who don't have a clue. The only thing I really need to figure out now is the Gmail, youtube problem.

I have even dl`d the gmail apk file and it won't install. When I use astro I can see gmail and youtube, but won't launch or uninstall?? Won't install a new apk for either, and they are not visible in the market, for me anyway? Same with titanium, I can see gmail and youtube, but can't restore or unistall them.

I just don't get it? Of course I am a noob who really knows nothing about all this stuff!! Any suggestions??
[Droid Eris Android Development] knipp21:
Might I suggest trying tazzfroyo v 24
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
I have gmail and its working fine, fresh install, no you tube, I'm looking into it now
[Droid Eris Android Development] wiggedoutmom:
Ok, so obviously there are a lot of people who are huge fans of Tazz's work. So I am gonna give it a go. As I had mentioned before...When looking through all the ROM's on The Unlockr site this one did have the highest rating!

Just some noob questions before I get started:

It has the other 2 files (CMparts & CMparts helper) says to push them to System/app. Does this mean to simply open system folder, then app folder and put the files there?

Then what? use astro to find and open/install them?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
No, it means using adb on you computer or a file manager with root access like root explorer to move the files. The file manager is the easier way but root explorer is a paid app and I don't remember any that are free with root access. Maybe someone else will chime in. Using adb is the way I would perform these actions but that requires you to have android sdk set up on your computer and you have to run command in the command prompt on you computer.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wiggedoutmom:
Hmmm, sounds like more than I need to be dabbling with given my limited knowledge of all this stuff! I have installed apk files on my phone before by just moving them to my card and using Astro to install them.

What are those 2 files for anyway? I am using my wireless tether on my phone so I can use my laptop right now (not at home)....so if I brick my phone, or can't get it at least up and running to use all the basics, I will be completely offline and not even able to get help from here.

Will the ROM (v24) by itself at least have my phone up and running without the other 2 files?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
Yes V24 will run perfectly without those 2 files. There just the new cm setting, such as rotary lockscreen, and lockscreen gestures. Using root explorer its simple to move those files. Get 24 up and running on your phone and if you have root explorer from market, download the 2 files and pm me or post on that roms thread and ill be more than happy to help you
[Droid Eris Android Development] wiggedoutmom:
K, here goes! Thanx so much!!

[Droid Eris Android Development] ramserver:
I installed number 1 everything worked fine except pic messaging, but when I installed number 2, the pic messaging worked but there was no market on it and everything with the Google stuff didn't work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:

[Epic 4G General] Slvrshot:
Yea I know it doesn't work for the Wireless Tether version on the Epic so I was wondering if there was another app that might grant me this ability. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Check out mobile ap, link is in my signature, it does infrastructure, its identical to sprints hotspot and works on 4g..

You have to have stock rom, possibly a custom kernal, root, clockwork mod and if you want to have themes on stock follow my tutorial, if you dont want plain old epic...

Mobile ap is the best :)
[Epic 4G General] Slvrshot:
Stock Froyo? Does that mean I need to re root and reinstall clockwork mod? All I am trying to do is use my phone as a wireless hotspot for my kindle. Its not a big deal but I wanted to try. The problem is that Kindle only supports infrastructure mode
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
No Stock Eclair 2.1..., just flash back to noobnls d118 update zip.. also its in my signature under tuturial.
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
Dumb question, but Mobile Ap is free right?
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Is there a mobile ap for dk28?
[Epic 4G General] Slvrshot:
Yes

If there is I can't find it.

[G Tablet General] crsboca:
I have some ogg vorbis music files. When the Music folder is scanned it reads in the information properly from mp3 files, but not ogg files. It shows "Unknown Artist". I have checked the tags and the Artist is there. In addition, some programs display the Artist information (from the tag) when playing. But when you go to search by artist, all apps (I have tried several) show "Unknown Artist".

Does anyone know where the media scanning code is located? Maybe I could look at it and see why it isn't handling ogg files.

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
A fellow Vorbis user!

I have never gotten any ROM to view Vorbis tags - I also had this issue on early Pandigital Novel tablet ROM's, which were later corrected. I already asked VS CS to fix this, but I always assumed that I was the only one who ever called them about this.

I'm not sure if this is kernel or framework based.
[G Tablet General] crsboca:
Well, I see there is an MediaStore and associated classes and given that multiple music apps seem to be sharing the scanned library, I suspect it is in the Android code, not the Linux kernel. On my Ubuntu there is no problem with ogg files either. So any idea where to find the media scanning code?

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Unfortunately I don't know. I usually use an app like Rockbox, which uses its own database.
[G Tablet General] crsboca:
Deleted duplicate
[G Tablet General] Javier78:
Yeah, I've noticed this as well, even on my Droid. It's definitely in the android code.

It's tough being a vorbis user...:(
[G Tablet General] XANAVirus:
Hey, just thought I'd chime in if you didn't mind me. :)

Yeah, I have a huge collection of Ogg Vorbis files on my computer, and my media player software on my laptop does not read tags either (my files were converted from mp3s, I thought maybe the tags were stripped out).

Same thing on my GTablet and my Nexus One, non of my media player software on Android reads the tags either (if they still exist).
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
In my case, the tags are definitely there - I know because I'm meticulous with adding them. My Cowon S9 sees them, Rhythmbox sees them, but not the music players on this device (except Rockbox).

Want this fixed? Call VS and complain, in all seriousness. I think the guy on the phone almost laughed at me when I told him Vorbis tags were broken. Not exactly high on their priority list.

Btw, transcoding MP3's to Vorbis should be avoided, if at all possible. It's a lossy to lossy transfer, which means that there will be quality loss. Think of the old days of copying a VHS tape to another tape - each generation is inferior to the previous one. If you can, keep your "master" copy as a lossless file like ALAC or FLAC, and from the best source you can find (like a CD). That way, you can make lossy copies from that lossless source to reduce quality losss.

(I'm a big music fan). :D
[G Tablet General] XANAVirus:
Yeah, well, gotta conserve space somewhere (and I don't have a FLAC converter).

Still, I need space for more music and since OGG helps me to save space a little bit, it's totally worth it for me. ;)

Sorry, but I lose my master copies as soon as the conversion is done. The originals were copies from CDs using other software (as in, straight from the CD audio .cda to .MP3 and then to .OGG, but not always. Sometimes, I go straight to .OGG.).

I put the CDs back in their cases and the temporary file is deleted is what I mean.

I remember VHS tapes! :D

Wow, I feel old... I wonder if their quality degrades over time?

I'd hate to see what they look like now...
[Droid X General] adevan:
I have rooted my Droid X and installed Titanium Backup. I want to do a backup but am concerned with including the contact and calendar data. Since I am on an Exchange account and Gmail, I don't need to back up the actual data files. What are the names of the data files for contacts and calendar? There are several "Contacts...." and "Calendar..." files. One says storage, another data, which one do I exclude?
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
i have found if i restore ANY data i have the syncing symbol on my notifications bar all the time, i do the batch Restore all missing apps and click app only from now on
[Droid X General] LexusBrian400:
If you have them syncd to your Gmail account, they are ALWAYS backed up. Menu, Settings, Accounts & Sync, check the "Contacts" check box and all of your contacts sync to Gmail.
[Droid X General] adevan:
I do understand that the are essentially backed up via sync with Gmail and/or corp exchange. That is why I don't want to backup that data with Titanium Backup. When I open Titanium Backup, I do the following.

Select Backup/Restore tab

Select Menu>Batch

Select Run Backup all system data

When I scroll down, I see the following Contacts files

Contacts 2.2.1

Contacts Storage 2.2.1

Contacts Sync 2.2.1

Contacts Sync Adapter 2.2.1

ContactsData 2.2.1

ContactsUnconnected 2.2.1

Which of those files should I deselect so if I need to do a restore I don't receive duplicate contacts?
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
all of them
[Droid X General] z06mike:
This has been fixed in the newer versions. (At least in my experience) the last restore I did with TiB I restored EVERYTHING and do not have the sync symbol stuck there anymore. This used to happen to me also but not as of late with the newer updates of Ti.
[Droid X General] firefighterguy:
I have gotten a replacement DroidX and this has happened to others as well. While other I had did not have this phenomenon. But after I reestablished root and installed Titanium Backup, i notice "ContactsUnconnected 2.2.1" is frozen. I unfreeze it, reboot, and it is frozen again. And I never froze it to begin with. And my previous DroidX did not have it frozen do I have yet another possessed DX? With a mind of it's own? Wanting to be a real Android (boy)?" (bad Pinochio" reference). What exactly DOES "ContactsUnconnected" do? Is it still an unknown variable as it has been since day one?

Many thanks in advance. (Please ignore my phone info on my profile if it still says WinMo. As I have not had a chance to update my info yet)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWizKid95:
So I've been trying to add some flair (like skyraider or MIUI to my own zip installable from clockworkmod recovery, and i can't seem to get the update-script to work. I don't have an update-binary... do i need that for it to work? Is that just an interpreter that can be downloaded from another ROM or is it a compiled version of update-script. If so how do i compile update-script so that it is a usable update-binary
[Android General] Octane70:
There’s a new threat in town. And by town, I mean China. Malware authors have created a bit of code called Geinimi that hitchhikes on existing apps when they are redistributed on third-party markets. At the moment it doesn’t do much but lurk, but its capabilities resemble that of a botnet server, according to Lookout, a company that makes antivirus software for Android.

So far the code has been identified as being able to send out your location, IMEI, app list, and to download apps. There could be more. Users outside of China are apparently at little risk, and at any rate your security is in your own hands: if you’re downloading a to-do list app and it wants access to your GPS and calling functions, that’s probably bogus.

Stay safe out there, kids.

Not to sure if this has been posted or not.

I don't install antiviruses on my phone,because android is based on linux, and linux doesn't have viruses because of the strong kernel, plus its semi possible that you will have a virus on your phone.:thumbup::p
[Android General] mistermentality:
Its not a new threat, lookouts announcement of it was in 2010 and in 2011 it was picked up by more press but is actually a two year old threat which afaik never did cause any problems but is checked for by google and therefore probably other app distributors.

I hear Android 5 (JellyBean) includes some kind of in-built malware protection.

Gotta wonder why... ;)
[Android General] mistermentality:
Not heard that, would be surprised if it did as google use bouncer to combat the malware problem.

Dave

[Android General] z33dev33l:
Wrong in many ways, it doesn't have viruses because the market is next to non-existent and getting a virus on an android device is more and more common.
[Android General] alpha-niner64:
Welp, as they say. Only install from trusted sources and always check the permissions the apps ask for. If you don't want the risk, go buy an Apple product and play by their rules. These are the risks that open-source brings and one that all of us bears in mind when tinkering with such power.
[Android General] mistermentality:
Actually linux does have them, see http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware for some examples.

Linux has few simply because it tends to get patched quicker. Malware on android devices will increase more this year as its the most used mobile os and so offers more potential victims which makes it a more enticing prospect for hackers.

Dave

[Android General] z33dev33l:
That and there's no real security built-in to android and it's the easiest one to pirate apps on. I personally believe the people trying to get the apps free deserve the viruses though. Does the patching have to do with the Linux distro or the kernel? Serious question as I know little about Linux malware and only briefly used Linux.
[Android General] rockstarar:
i know kernels get patched, i think distros do as well.
[Android General] thebobp:
You're joking, right? TLDR: How do you think jailbreaking is possible if Apple is so secure? Indeed, it's the false confidence that comes from them telling users that it's so secure that's precipitated so many of the blunders.
[Android General] mistermentality:
Kernel gets updated with patches but individual distributions also get system patches or did a few years ago when I last used linux.

I'm curious why you think there's no security built into android, as can be seen at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html there are a number of security measures in place.

Use your brain for security

All the android malware reports I have ever read are just scare tactics used by various news agencys, blogs, etc to generate more views for their site. Almost all android malware can be avoided by simply being smart with where and what you download. Using iOS doesn't make you safe; downloading well known apps from the play store that only use permissions that are appropriate for its described functionality makes you safe.

http://community.norton.com/t5/Tech-Outpost/iPad-and-iPhone-IOS-Virus/td-p/656333

No OS is perfectly safe. They are all made by man. Security is only as good as the hacker trying to get into it. No code is perfectly safe.

Hackers code. If you do it right no one knows you did anything at all.
[Android General] L33t Masta:
Not an iOS virus. Just rogue javascript.
[Android General] zelendel:
They are out there man. One should never think that their personal info is 100% safe on a mobile device.
[Android General] mistermentality:
There have been ones on ios app market. Best known is one that only got took off when developer told apple he had put malware test app on there to prove it could be done.

If he had wanted to he could have caused a lot of users problems but luckily he was doing it as proof of concept.

A person with your Android Market account password can push an app (from the website!) onto your phone, remotely, without your permission.

Check out the "Plan B" app in the Market, and how it works, that is used to locate lost phones.
[Android General] mossman44:
Interesting point I never really thought about that possibility. Perhaps google should add a security setting to android that prevents remote app pushes from the play store. While that functionality certainly has its uses, providing such a setting could allow for enhanced security to those who want it.
