Hi,

thx for this tool ;-) Gonna test it asap!

But I have 1 feature request:

let the rom dev optional select a different repo layout cause I would prefer to manage those json files via some php script. That way I could store the needed information within a mysql database and create the json files on demand.

Sample:

repo url:

http://my.webserver.org/root/main.php

which contains some information about how the mod.json files can be located like some string like this:

"repolayout":"/root/mod.php?v=%d"

If the repolayout is not provided the it should work the current way.

Would be great to have this feature!

Thx again for your work!

Hi Pete,

does the fastboot still work? If so maybe flashing your recovery through fastboot again would help, don't know. Boot into fastboot and do a:

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
fastboot reboot

Thanks for all watching this post :)

I'll try to reply to all the questions :)

1. as of ext4, my app should have no problems. The only very requirement is a recovery with extendedcommand (edify) support. I tested all the features on ClockworkMod Recovery for N1, please report me if you have any problem with other recoveries, and link me where I can contact the dev to fix the things up :)

2. it touches no recovery, SPL or HBOOT partitions, so if your phone hangs after using commands involving recovery, it's due to external problems of my app

3. custom repository file names: when I developed my app I had to choose whenever to support them or not. I then decided not to support them due to making things standard. You can though use mod_rewrite rules editing your .htaccess file (under Apache/*NIX systems). I think there is the equivalent on IIS too. If you need further informations, I may write simple rules :)

4. for ROM 'xyz' repositories: I'm sorry guys, but I can't help you in this, as I would saturate my life time and bandwidth. Ask developers for them :)

Make your Repository with an Android.mk so we can build it from sources along with our ROM(s).

First say you did a very good job

I also wanted to make a suggestion / request

if it finds within its means

There are areas, people who use my rom, and they want to change kernel, modem or add applications.

be possible to add a button addon updates equal to, but you can configure URL repo / addonns eg

To avoid losing, incremental updates

If using a QR code set up a repository for addons

Update lose the previous rom repo

And you can not upgrade but the rom, losing incremental updates, until you reconfigure the repository rom

I for now I have this solution for my rom

criskelo.grupoandroid.com/b/ (repo rom) QR

criskelo.grupoandroid.com/kernels/ (kernel addons) QR

criskelo.grupoandroid.com/modems/ (addons modems) QR

criskelo.grupoandroid.com/appsextr/ (app addons optional) QR

is an idea that I hope will understand

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
When creating a contact you may have to select it as a Google contact. Try recreating a contact that won't sync, select it as a Google contact, and see what happens.

Make sure that your phone is set to sync contacts in Accounts and Sync too.

Eeeeewwwww

Set as a Google contact, and selected the correct email address.

I even tried looking at an alternate email I had, thinking it might have synced to the wrong one - nope...

Just for example, I had created 2 or 3 contacts from my phone, the same way each time, as google contacts. When I synced the phone, only 1 of them synced to gmail...

I though "WTF? maybe I screwed up", so I rebooted the phone, logged out of gmail, deleted the contacts, and tried again.

NOPE !!!

POS "Hem--RRRROOOOIIIIDDDD"........

Anything I create "From" gmail syncs correctly, but only "some" created from the phone synce back to gmail..

And yes also I did double, tripple check that 'background services, auto sync, sync contacts, sync email, default email account, were all correct... I tried repeatedly clicking 'manually sync now' 'sync this' and so on...

NOPE ! Nothing.

go to your contacts, hit menu, select "view" and uncheck everything but "phone" contacts...those are the ones that aren't syncing, am i correct"

"phone" contacts won't sync

"google" contacts will sync
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersobbie:
I would follow the patches advice. I found that I was looking at facebook phone numbers but they were not getting uploaded to my gmail account. I dont understand why there is not a "phone to contact" or "contact to phone" option like sooo many phones in the past. It would be GREAT if there was an android app built for that. I dont understand why they do not have a "Sync ALL" option that will allow you to save all information from facebook/gmail/phone/ect to a single location to use.

I also dont like the "gmail" vs "mail". That may have something to do with it too. I set up my initial gmail account but never got to see my mail because it was always in the "gmail" app and not in the mail.

Anyway, I think that is a separate issue all together.

Good luck :)

What a dumbass, What a dumbass I am .... :rolleyes:

P.S.

ATTN: Hey all future searching dumbasses of America who stumble across this thread: Make sure that you click the dropdown menu that says "Contact type" and change it to Google, every single time you create a contact... And when you are sick or drunk, add them later, because you might end up looking like a dumbass, like myself :cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patches152:
ANOTHER PROTIP: every once in awhile go check how many "phone" contacts you have by following the steps in my last post. i also found that i have a bunch of duplicate contacts, you can either link them, but i find it easier to edit via PC from the gmail contacts area. you can select multiple contacts, merge them, etc. when you email people gmail automatically creates a contact, but it's stored under "other contacts". you can move contacts in and out of the different groups, etc. get familiar with that and it's way easier than doing it from your phone.

Thanks for your input, I had the issue of my gmail contacts wont sync and throws up the error that it cant sync at this time, and it keeps trying and runs your battery dead trying to. this was all after I rooted my dinc s-off, I even deleted all my contacts and it would sync one time successfully then go right back to the same crap.

But I never tried making all my contacts into gmail contacts mainly because I wasnt having an issue until I rooted my device, but here is a bigger mystery, I run Cyanogen7 and dont have any issues syncing anything, only when I run the stock rom.

So I guess I need to be added to the DA list...LMAO
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffChill:
And one last tip if you have a bunch of "Phone" contacts and want to get them all transferred at once: you can export your phone-only contacts then import them all into google.

People > Menu > Import/Export > Export to SD Card > Phone

This will export all of your contacts marked as "Phone".

People > Menu > Import/Export > Import from SD Card > Google

This will re-import everything into the gmail account you select.

Flash back to stock and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, then you have a broken sensor. If it does, then it's a rom issue.

Western Chicago Suburbs here (Higgins corridor and north of Elgin on Fox River).

I drove around last weekend and monitored the 4G.

I'm mostly seeing 3-5 M upload and .5-1.5 M uploads (early Saturday morning)

Closer to noon I saw rates drop to 1-3 M uploads. I was driving in some pretty out of the way places and saw fairly good 4G coverage.

I was on I290 the other day and got one hit at 12 Mega (!). Just saw it once

and have not been able to re-create it.

My guess is the closer to Chicago you get, the higher rates you'll get.

Anybody have an idea if Sprint is reducing bandwidth when their network gets busy?

I've got the sensorly app, one of the better ones.

I'm hoping "Open Signal Maps" gets their act together because it is actually

trying to locate the towers on a central map.

Somehow I've managed to buy a house right in the middle of a group of towers

so that I only get 1 bar of 4G upstairs (3G only downstairs). Once I get on the road

I get good 4G coverage (2-4 bars)

[EVO Shift 4G General] AmishGuy91:
I was at the Sprint store yesterday in Plano, TX, which I believe is one of their flagship stores in the DFW area. I bought a few accessories but told the guy I wanted to test 4G. He told me I should be able to connect to it in the store but if I went across the street I wouldn't be able to. I told him that's the behavior I've pretty much seen since I got the phone, meaning occasionally I can connect to it but it never stays for long so it's not worth the battery drain all the 4G scanning causes. He agreed with me and said he doesn't even use the 4G.

So I was able to connect to 4G in the store at a measly 1.2mbps download speed. I'm really disappointed in Sprint's 4G.

Though between my WiFi at home and the fact I work in the basment of a building means I rarely use 4G for anything, luckily they must have a 3G signal booster because I get full 3G signal down there with speeds over 1Mbps.
