[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shinwrx:
Ok so most people that have Comcast know about this app. I have seen the ipad commercial were the guy can basically use his ipad to change the dvr channels and record shows.

Does anyone know if they will be releasing the remote on the next update cause that would be another good reason not to get off the couch or go looking for your remote that your son threw 15 feet across the room.

Anybody else like the idea of using your vibrant as a remote for your tv?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MegaPrime33:
I think overall its a good idea. I know the iPhone can be used with apple tv. For me, I'd rather stick with my harmony. I think eventually it will happen anyway, but for now I'm happy just to be able set a recording on my phone.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dougstoner:
I do have a nice logitech eharmony remote I use, but I always have my phone next to me. If it could change channels with my phone, I'd definitely use the hell out of it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kimbo1986:
Anything that you do must be through wifi/network connection. No infared which sucks, theres a whole lot you can do with that :D my ancient pocket pc's all had it not sure why theyve done away with it. although it might have been a contributing factor to why they were so brick like lol.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dfw2k7:
Harmony is def the best way to go. Comcast can be configured on web too right?.. like cablevision time warner and fios. You should try it that way.. or buy a harmony off of ebay.. even controls the xbox 360.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shinwrx:
Well ill look into the harmony. But ive heard alot of rumors that the next update for xfinity app should give us access to the dvr part. Because if u load the app the dvr section or button is blanked out.. Can anyone confirm this might be useable with the next update? Cause thay would be awesome!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] explodingboy70:
The dvr function is being rolled out to different areas at different times and you have to ask for a new dvr box. I asked at my local office (s. fla) they told me it wasn't available in my area yet. I too want the dvr function but it also brings caller ID to your tv screen.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Sherryluv5:
Xfinity apps, the truth

Actually there are 2 apps. 1 is xfinity mobile (email, tv listings, on demand clips, dvr programming, the other is the xfinity tv app. It is the one that controls your cable boxes. It does not need wifi (exept on "pads") or infared, it needs merely an active mobile internet connection. Currently the xfinity mobile app is available on the android market and xfinity tv app is available only for for i-devices (yuck!), but will be released soon for android as well. Also in the future on demand video streaming will be available through the app.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] explodingboy70:
I didn't know about the second one. So, would I be able to screw with my wife and randomly change the channel while im somewhere else
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Sherryluv5:
Absolutely you would. I've done it with my ipod (using the wifi at another location) and my coworker with an iphone screwed around with his parents just for fun and it was hilarious. Lol! By the way, the my DVR option is active on my Xfinity Mobile app (Android app that will not control cable boxes). It shows my scheduled recordings and allows me to set new recordings from the tv listings. I have 2 dvr's and it lists each one seperately. I have named 1 living room and the other bedroom. It's a very nice feature and works very well. The other thing that the xfinity mobile app does that I don't see mentioned. If you have Comcast phone service, it brings callerid from your home phone over to your cell. If someone calls your home phone, you will receive a callerid notification on your android phone, and you can access a call log of your home phone calls as well as listen to your home voicemail. Great technology is a *****!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MegaPrime33:
Yeah, I was gonna say, I have the app and I can set shows to record without a problem. I can do it online too, but obviously this is convenient as well.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Holeblocker:
Am I the only one that cringes a little when you have to say "Xfinity"?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Sherryluv5:

Hello, it's my first post here as I have no one to turn to with a problem.

Today I started receiving errors in the android market so I tried to reboot the tablet. After rebooting I got only basic market with very limited functionality. Most of the apps are not available. Did anyone have the same problem today?

Thank you.

So u could u please provide me the steps?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod777:
1. Odin3 back to stock

2. Master Clear after reboot

3. Flash new rom when battery full
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natascha303:
Thanks

for what is the backup i made? Isnt it easier to just restore this one and im back on stock?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod777:
You can if you want. If you already have apps, you have to back them up with titanium backup and if you master clear you have to copy all your stuff you want including the titanium backup folder to your computer otherwise you will lose them.

I always backup with titanium backup (tibu) then just use odin3 1 click to go back to stock, then use cwr to flash the rom. I don't usually master clear (because I'm lazy).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
ROM flash

Well, since you already have a custom ROM, you don't need to reroot.

1. Back up all your apps using Titanium backup.

a. 1. Download Titanium Backup from the android market.

b. Press the menu button and then batch. press the button that says RUN next to Back up all user apps. Select the apps and RUN. This will take a while, but let it run.

c. When it is done, plug your phone into your computer and mount your phone. Copy the folder Titanium Backup from the root of your phone and save it to PC or external SD.

2. For a complete wipe, restore your stock ROM.

a. Open ODIN one click.

b. Put your phone in download mode.

i. Remove your battery, external SD card and SIM card

ii. Reinsert battery and battery cover.

iii. Hold down both volume buttons and while holding them down plug the phone in.

c. Press start and wait until it is finished. Do not unplug for any reason.

d. When it is done you should have a freshly installed stock firmware on 2.1 eclair.

3. Once booted completely to home screen, open odin one click again, connect your phone and Master Clear. This step will delete everything you have on your internal SD. This will reboot phone.

4. Install ClockworkMod Recovery.

a. Mount and copy install.zip, and the ROM, MODEM, KERNEL to the internal SD

b. Go to recovery mode.

i. Unplug your phone and hold down both volume buttons and the power button until a strange menu with blue items pops up. This is called the recovery menu.

ii. Scroll using the volume buttons to the menu item titled "reinstall packages" and press the power button to select. You may need to do it twice.

iii. Your phone should restart and you should be at a green/ red menu.

5. From the clockwork recovery use the volume keys to scroll to "install zip from sd card" and use the power button to select

6. Scroll to "choose zip from sd card" and use the power button to enter

7. Choose your rom and select it. Confirm that you want to install it and then give it time to install. Follow any other instructions they give you and then navigate back through the menus to restart the phone.

8. Restore from backup.

a. Download Titanium Backup from the android market and open it.

b. Plug your phone into your computer and mount it. Drag the Titanium Backup folder you saved earlier onto the root of your phone.

c. Open Titanium Backup. Press the menu button and then batch. press the button that says RUN next to Restore missing apps (select the one that includes data). This will take a while, but let it run. It will ask for you to confirm the install of each application.

d. When it is done all your files should be there.

And that's pretty much it.. This is only for WIPE ROMs so that you can clean up everything and just have your apps after flashing ROM.

For No WIPE ROMs, you can just install over the previous ROM. Many ppl have stated to having issues this way , especially from switching ROMs from different devs..

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Sozage:
Hi,

I'm looking for a way to create a shortcut that will go to a given desktop/homescreen.

It would be similar to the 'Move to Default Desktop' available in some launchers but I would like to use it to go to different screens.

Any ideas?

[General Questions and Answers] JuniorFLC81:
I have been very intrigued about the functionality of available remote desktop clients for the android platform, allowing control of one's PC via 3g/4g data or WiFi.

The question that I pose today is,

"Is there a 'Remote Android Client' available for the Android phone and PC to control an Android phone over 3g/4g or WiFi from a PC?"

The specifics of the software that I am seeking are,

Full access and permissions over a rooted phone.

Full gps, bluetooth, and network functionality.

-Including other additional features.

Is this available? Can a program like this be made?
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
Hi

Unfortunatly I am having to send my phone back to my carrier for repairs. My phone is currently rooted on world generic 2.0.2a.0.24( thanks to the team on here )

I have used the method of editing default prop and build prop to change to the most recent software to fool seus and every time its worked a charm.

Tonight however when I connected to seus after changing the codes back to my carrier the repair button was not available. I reinstalled seus just incase but same thing. I tried PC companion but each time it failed to offer me a repair option also.

After checking every stage I noticed that the default prop file was reverting back to the world generic code instead of my carrier after each boot. The build prop file remained as changed.

I am at a loss as to why this is happening and no search on here has provided the answer. I have also rerooted etc but every time the problem remains.

Is this a new security feature not yet picked up? I fear for my warranty now as cant send phone back in its current software state!

Any help would be greatly appreciated x
[XPERIA X10 General] THC85:
Hi, I might be wrong but i'm sure you have to use the binary flash tool to go back to .504 from .24 firmware:-/ Thats what I had to use anyway:-)
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
Thanks for the info. I did not know that was the case for this firmware. Is that info available anywhere regarding having to downgrade 1st before repairing via seus using the above method?

I would like to read up on it before using tools I havent before :)
[XPERIA X10 General] THC85:
If you look on rabetionline's thread about the new .24 firmware there is a link on first page that has all info plus a tutorial vid;-) It can be found in the X10 general section
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Hi - you might not have to do that.. you may have inadvertently used the wrong codes.. I tried using the codes printed on the sticker under the battery and had the same problem - no repair option. but it was because the codes I'd used were for the handset and not the software build!.. use the first of the codes shown here...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826875 for your specific region/ handset
[XPERIA X10 General] THC85:
That's what I done a few days ago:-/ I changed my codes from UK generic to World generic so I could get update, after updating was having problems with some apps so decided to change back. I changed codes back to UK generic then tried repair via pc companion & SEUS but to no avail! Pc companion said that it was not possible to update at this time! & SEUS said no updates available! In the end using binary flash tool seemed only option! Worked straight away, just had to change World generic .504 to UK generic then repair via SEUS! Voila problem solved & took about 30 mins ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
Thanks for the info iceman but dbl checked and Im using correct codes.

I just went for the binary flashing method and downgraded to nordic .504 software. I then rooted,changed codes again in root explorer for o2...connected to seus...allowed me to repair and would you believe it Im on nordic 0.24!!!

Argghhhh! Any further help would be much appreciated guys and thanks for your thoughts so far...
[XPERIA X10 General] THC85:
Did you remember to delete the SEUS db foldet before trying to repair? Just a suggestion as it worked fine for me:-)
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
yes made sure that was done. Im at a loss but the same thing is happening every time I change the default prop file, it reverts back to current software code.....very strange indeed......
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
If you are working with .504, .24 you should be changing build.prop. Default.prop is for 1.6.

If using Root Explorer method, make sure to change r/o to r/w. UNIX is a little strange in that it looks like the write was good, but not changed, no error message.

Hey all. So after 1 month without my phone, I finally got it back from Bell. It's good to have it back!! Before my internal memory died, I was running Docs Rom, and I was actually quite happy with it. Now that the phone is back, it has the stock firmware on it. Im debating if I want to put on Hardcore, or update to the new 2.2 bell and call it a day.

Are we seeing a good reason to use Hardcore's Kernel vs the Stock JL2 Rom?

For those I9000m users who had their phone die, did you mod again, or stay stock?!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:

Hi there,

Currently i'm using a SD-Android of MDJ.

Because of laggy animations i would like to update my current Build.

I've read through several NAND-Threads and nearly everyone says "fast fast fast".

This:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877777 NAND looks very interesting, but after looking the Youtube-Video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ab0ztDxibo ) there i'm a little bit confused... The UI looks nice, but it's lagging as hell there! :eek: - OK, it's not like "Ok, i started the app, now i can make a coffee", but the animations arent smooth... There are SD-ROMS availible which are smoother!

Is this behavior normal?

Is there any fast Android ROM, SD, NAND, RAM, etc?!

The only thing i want is a Build, which is:

- nearly stable

- fast

- small (to maximise user storage, but i dont need that much, just a few apps and Mails!)

- without "Not working in this build"-Parts

Greetz and thx for helping!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sentinel196:
Please post in the right section.

Darkstone's build seems to be the fastest at the moment, closely followed by Markinux's builds. MDJ's gingerbread builds are getting there. I find if I set the governor to OnDemand and OC to 1300MHZ, most NAND builds become as fast, if not faster than my benchmark Desire HD.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matthew33:
I was skeptical about NAND at first, I thought "what's the point"

BUT, all I can now is WOW! WOW!

NAND is 4 million times faster, smoother a a lot more than SD builds

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stoolzo:
I think you mean, stupid fast, I was using this before I went NAND, this was definitely faster than NAND builds.

This ROM is also stable enough for everyday use. If you are using Sd though, just install-backup-change-restore, is easy with titanium backup, just try a few ROMS until you find the one you like.

I've been using my NAND build on a regular basis since it came out. Haven't been back to WinMo since NAND was first offered. For me the fastest NAND ROMs are TyTung which I would rank as best as far as speed but its completely Stock. I've also tried cmylxgo and his is pretty speedy as time goes by...I'm actually using that one right now and its been running for 4 days with no issues. Got like 60+ apps installed and using ADW Launcher with a theme and loving this build. Might go back to Gingerbread tho after another week cause I have a problem staying on one ROM too long lol...

Haven't tried MDJ ROM but Im using his kernel and no data issues and market downloads are insane...may try his GB build out...

Also heard DarkStone build is crazy fast which is a plus too...
