Hi,

Does anyone know how to open a stock Web browser link in a new window? Usually in Android I can choose a new window option after a long press on a link, but on G tablet there is no menu popping up on a long press. I can do it in other browsers, but not in a stock one...

Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rob_z11:
why use stock browser? Use Dolphin Mini, pretty nice in my opinion, and long press does work in Dolphin Mini.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aleks07:
Long press works in all browsers I tried (Opera, Fire Sky) except for the stock one. I like the way it handles flash and zoom, so I'd really like to make long press work on it - without it it is almost unusable.

I also noticed that stock browser goes back to the top of a page whenever I change orientation. Is there a remedy for that?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Benblanko81:
Long Click

Long click works for opening in a new window in Vegan 5.1 in the stock browser. It actually was one of the main reasons I switched to Vegan from TnT Lite.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aleks07:
Thanks! Tried Vegan 5.1 and love it!

Wondering if anyone has tried porting this suite to our phones yet? Would be great to be able to pen test from our phones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] opphiunic:
this would be interesting. Looking forward to it!! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zallik:
Have you see anything like this yet?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zimasha:
I searched a lot about this before with no results.. Theoretically it should be possible since linux can be installed on HD2. maybe all whats needed are drivers for wifi support injection..

I made this the other night and thought I'd share. Its just a piece of white acrylic I had lying around after a work project. Started off as 13in x just under 5in. That is just enough to feel comfortable in portrait mode, but I have a 11in piece left I may mess around with. I think the lip holding the tablet is slightly too close of a turn on the left side, but otherwise it sits pretty good. I'm guessing the 1/8 cheaper acrylic would work just about as good.

Needed:

propane torch

acrylic

gloves?

I used some duct work crimpers to hold on to it, and also a table mounted clamp. I'm sure there are better ways. Be careful not to set it on fire, just needed to be warm enough to bend :)
[G Tablet Accessories] WantADroid:
Nice!

Good Idea! I may try this myself.

Gtab stand option

I found a nice stad in Michael's Craft shop. The cost was under $4.00 and the stand folds for storage in the case provided by Viewsonic. I did have to make on small mod, I had to attach 2 small pieces of foam rubber from a cup/can insulater to the stand to prevent the back of the gtab rubbing on the metal and scratching it. I bought 2 so I can keep one the night stand. Does anyone know where I can find screen protectors??
[G Tablet Accessories] bajan5026:
see the thread for Skinomi TechSkin screen protector $15 Free shipping!!!

I found one Skinomi.com that is diecut full screen especially for the Gtab.

I suppose a hole for the camera needs to be made.

Thanks to xRepinsSporx

also got a great stand in black, folds flat and is rugged metal.

dealextreme.com SKU #47631
[G Tablet Accessories] orangezero:
I like that one too. Any idea what its called? I searched all through hobby lobby and didn't find anything interesting to use.
[G Tablet General] SeanDank:
Just got a Gtab and I am going to mod w/ VEGAn 5. Just need to know if I need to install VEGAn 1.0 b1 first and go through the builds to b5? I know i need ClockWorks first correct?
[G Tablet General] orangezero:
Just get the newest beta 5 and it should be fine. You don't need to install them over the top of each other, if thats what you are asking. Thats all I did when I tried out vegan. I already had clockwork 0.8 installed.

The newest had flash working and the market already showed most programs. I didn't have to do those extra steps like in some of the earlier directions.
[G Tablet General] palagai:
Nope, go directly to 5.1b and install through CWM 0.8.
[G Tablet General] SeanDank:
Thanks, that was quick. Going to jump in and load VEGAn 5.1 tonight. Can't wait and start modding this thing.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pwel:
Hello, after successfully installing both Nitrogen and TCPMP, I now tried to get AVRCP to work to control the mini with my bluetooth head set. Started with TCPMP: there is a threat here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=636423 where all is explained. I downloaded the program itself and the latest interface.plg plug-in from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9052904&postcount=637. But iut just does not work! It works with wmp though, but I prefer TCPMP.

After installing the plug-in, I can access the AVRCP settings, but I can't seem to address the buttons on my head set to the actions defined in the plug-in: when I try to do so, it seems to wait for me to press on the buttons of the head set, but when I do that, nothing happens.

Any ideas? Somebody who got it working?
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pwel:
Anyone uses AVRCP with TCPMP?

Hopefully I am not alone. Is there somebody who has been succesful in using AVRCP with TCPMP or Nitrogen?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dreambo:
The idea is very well, but every build has its own recovery (or flash.cfg) so instead of using only the sdacrd for flashing (the original idea) now we must use the 2 things : the usb flasher with DAF and the update.zip in the sdacrd :mad:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Really did you have to post this question here?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elgar:
This is an important question. I don't quite understand the idea as well. I don't think anyone has explained anything here like that, especially taking in consideration that we've never used android before except just recently.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] solikhd2:
really intereseted in that answer to!

but for me another question is: what is the special thing about a2sd+ ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pr0x2:
I did not use recovery yet but isn't it that you flash the recovery 1 time and than you can download the .zip and flash roms via the recovery.

OR

You don't flash it via recovery but just via DAF.exe like I do at this moment.

The a2sd+ makes a part of your SD card act like it's internal storage so you can install more apps than on 280mb that is left when you don't have the 1024leo phone (usa = leo1024 , eur = leo512).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
1. You can make a full backup of your system so if you hose your data you can wipe and restore back to the last backup.

2. You can install new roms from the microsd card as long as the system partition fits what you have set. Some people prefer it that way, and some people have bad usb ports and need it that way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dreambo:
it must be like that, but in the real world, every rom builder, uses differents MTD partitions sizes, so we have to reflash its recovery again, even if we have already flashed it before with the defaults sizes (150, 250 or 400 MB) :(

Why every build do not uses a standard sizes, fixed by the Recovery builder, RaiderX303 ?

RaiderX303, you have make a very interesting work, thank you very match for that, but can you please continue you works and resolve this ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RaiderX303:
Recovery allows people to download and flash roms from the SD card, no need for a pc except for the first time install using DAF to flash the partition layout, it allows people to switch easily between roms, some people like myself have a Rom they prefer to use, when a new Rom comes out that looks good I can backup the Rom I'm using and flash the new Rom, if I don't like the new Rom I can flash back to my old Rom and not lose any data
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thecrater:
Hey guys, i'm using MJD's 2.1. I thought the benefit of ClockworkMod was to enable me to go into recovery from the reboot menu. Also, it was supposed to allow me to reset to factory settings. It seems that none of that is working.

If I reboot into bootloader or recovery it just reboots into Android again. Resetting to factory settings does absolutely nothing apart from rebooting.

What am I doing wrong?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jleiser:
How does Homeswitcher set default launcher.

ymst.android.homeswitcher is the package name.

They have a way of setting a launcher to be the default.

The intent resolver comes up if you have more than one home launcher installed.

You can select a launcher from the list and also check the box that says

use by default for this action.

I am looking for a way to programmatically set this check box setting.

Home switcher has a set default button.

How do they get this to work in source code ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
Imposible in Froyo, but in eclair i suppose they just set to default. Go to applications in settings, find your launcher and it will have a default setting. If another launcher has the default enabled it just deletes the option and set the default on your chosen one.

XDA App
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jleiser:
Thanks but my question was how can you do it programmatically.

I know it is not possible in froyo. But what about donut and eclair.

Homeswitcher has some code to do this when you press Set Default.

My question is what is the code to set a launcher as the default.

There used to be methods to do this in older versions of Android.

First there was

getPackageManager().addPackageToPreferred(getPackageName());

But the docs say

This method is deprecated. This function no longer does anything

Then there was getPackageManager().addPreferredActivity(

and the docs says

This method is deprecated.

This is a protected API that should not have been available to third party applications.

It is a real puzzle, but I know at least one programmer has figured this out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin@TeslaCoil:
The froyo/gingerbread docs say that because it no longer works after froyo. But it does still work on eclair.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
Is homeswitcher open source? Maybe you can simply take a look at it, also perhaps you can make it work for rooted phones in froyo and GB too. Almost forgot, take a look at cyanogen source code I'm sure you will find what you need there.

Xda app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruscan.calin:
This is not possible-by code !

It would be a security problem a kind of takes control away by the user !

this is the case you want to make an app/ launcher if you want to make a custom rom this is something else

hi, first of all welcome to the forum :)

unfortunately I have to continue with a "lecture" and I will go to some length with you being new here :)

first, this is a not-dev related issue, so q&a sub-forum should be used (will move it)

second, that kind of question has been asked (in a number of variants) for I don't know how many times already...making this thread a duplicate, so I have to close it

third, from now on you should first search before posting to check for existing threads on a subject and reuse it/them whenever possible

here are some keyword examples for this specific subject:

best

fast

stable...

fourth, when raising a subject be a precise and detailed as possible, like naming the preferred wm (6.1|6.5) version, variant (sense, titanium...)

most stable for what you asked here could very well be using stock rom...

in general: you will also note (with time) that opinionated questions always lead to opinionated answers (naturally), such allowing op for only basic conclusions

each and everyone's usage behavior is different and seldom explained when asking or answering such a question, you get the idea, so all things said, done and considered you might get a general idea on a subject but in the end you will have to find something to suit you through simple try and error

still awake? fine :)

feel free to contact me for details, feedback, questions, opinions, criticism,... whatever :

Thx and best, DK

Ok, my buddy has a bone stock Vibrant that is horrible with reception. Not just GPS but overall reception too. He has called T-Mobile, switched to a new Sim ect...

There never was an official January update.

Though the current rumor is that it will be here by early February.

Though there is no official word since there's a back and forth with the carriers regarding certification of the update.

Well this is bull****, this os is ****ing half built it seems like, really disappointed in ms how they handled this.

[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
That is how all OSs start. We all should of known going in, but it is the best multimedia phone still.

The real update is scheduled for later this year and is called mango. Until then consider the os have done.

Do you actually understand that this "half built os" is only couple of months old? it's not even mid january yet and people are complaining about the january update!!

People are quoting this supposed "mango" update info with no official announcement, just as some did for the supposed "january update that will make WP7 seem like WP8" if it doesnt materialise even more moaning will start. We should stick to what has been officially announced to avoid the inevitable MS bashing that will commence if they dont deliver the "massive" update rumours are claiming.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Paul Nur:
It defiantly needs something. I noticed in the past 2-3 weeks my phone has been acting different. Two things I noticed was when I go through my pictures the picture does not fill the whole screen, there is a black space at the bottom maybe a 5th of the screen is now black flipping throught pictures. One more thing was when playing music, when I switch the song i hear a loud noise, like a part of a song maybe half a second gets played very loud but not distinguishable what it was. This happening to anyone else? Sorry if it was a run on a little.

just do what I did, sell your crappy wp7 and get an Android....
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamelphick:
I just don't get this 'crappy' label? I have an HD2 (the best WM6.5 phone there is) and the HD7. Now agreed the HD7 is lacking a few features and GPS software etc BUT... and I have to stress this BUT.... it is only a few months old. Many users have only just got their WP unit and are moaning already!

It's absolutely pathetic. There are enough websites out there that will tell you everything about the WP phones - if you don't read them then if you don't like the phones it's your own fault! People go on about the iPhone being bug free and amazing - well that's taken years and it's hardly bug free (several of my mates installed the latest update and lost EVERYTHING off their phones when it bricked them!) - plus how great Android is... well that is wrong - it may be good (I love it on my HD2) but it is riddled with problems, slow down, programs that crash it etc....

If you don't like the WP OS then change your phone - the rest of us will wait a while for MS to give us updates and improve what is already a great mobile device!

well buddy, english isn't my first language, so that's why i don"t want to comment on every topic :-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Now you know how I felt about a month ago when MS announced the Aug/Sep massive update. And why my HD7...aka DesireHD7...is waiting for an Android ROM.

I put no trust or stock in MS. They aren't about consumer satisfaction. And they don't have the slightest concern about satisfying consumers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eaver:
Crappy?? enjoy your time rooting and hacking your android device.. maybe one day you'll have time to actually use your phone for something useful ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
It's MS removing or disabling stuff, to make a supposed update more apparent and liked. Kinda like a car lot putting on a sale of 10% off the entire stock. But they previously increased the cost 15%.

I used to be able to add email folders, and added about three. Now I can't.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Like how I'm using my HD2 with a DesireHD ROM...or any other Android version I desire. Works well and is reliable. My DesireHD7 will be even better with Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] -WP7User-:
Hey, Marty...You could easily just sell your HD7. Because I think, that we'll have to wait at least a year until Android is out for the HD7 (or any other WP7-Phone). First, the Devs that are working on it have to crack the whole system and "learn" everything about the system itself (how it works, wo it is built etc.). After that, some smaller things like a few modifications will come. And after a while and a few WP7-Roms we maybe will get Android...I like Android, but I like WP7 even more. So, Android on the HD7 would more or less something to "play" for me, nothing more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Did MS actually officially announce any update apart from what the one at CES? Everything else has been based on rumors started by people who have been proven wrong, so why is MS getting blamed?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i think the mod should just delete 3/4 of the posts in this thread as they're completely off topic.

anyways, back to being on topic, MS hasn't set a firm deadline/release date, but they have made it official on their website that it's coming very shortly. I believe feb some time.

As for "mango update", this information came from Paul Thurrott, not directly from microsoft. so yes, we shouldn't take it to gospel, but at least it may give us a bit of insight as to what we could see come someway through the year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Enjoy your unending wait because really? desireHD7? You are aware the hardware is completely different not to mention the SPL wont support anything android... Theres more or less no chance thats happening. I do hope you enjoy your wait though I would suggest going back to the HD2 that will provide you with your android or even another android native phone. You'd make a profit selling the better phone and could get what you want... Why stick with a phone if you hold no hope for it
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
I'm with him. Marty, there is no such thing as a DesireHD2, or a DesireHD7. You made it up. I just don't see the point of hanging on to a device that will get Android a looong way down the track when you could just buy an actual DesireHD or the American equivalent? We get it. You have fallen out of love with WP7 and hold no hope for it. This is the Windows Phone 7 forum, though.

I'm not particularly concerned about the January update, just getting back on topic. It took HTC half a year later than stated to get Froyo to the Legend, and my device still hasn't got the update. I have learned patience from that, I think

Besides, I don't think they ever actually said the update was scheduled for January?
