What's the best way to put ads in an app and which is the best service to use?
[Android Software Development] jug6ernaut:
Depends on the app, I use admob, pays like crap lol. But they are all owned by goggle so yea lol.

[Android Software Development] cyberpedz:
Oh didn't realise admob was owned by Google
[Android Software Development] cyberpedz:
Ok so what is the easiest way t put them in my app?

I am signed up to admob now but don't understand how i put them in my app.
[Android Software Development] androidworkz:
You would be better off running your own ad server and selling advertising... there are way too many jackass developers here on xda who make mods and apps to kill ads. I respect some for their work... but I think it's BS that they screw other developers by killing ads.
[Android Software Development] toxicbakery:
agreed.. I have no issue with users manually modifying their host file or even providing a list you can update your host files with however all the roms including a host file that basically blocks any money generation for devs is a bit off the deep end.

As for the OP's question you need to follow the PDF guide in the admob site for how to install ads to your application. There is really no better way of explaining it over how they did in that file.

http://www.admob.com/docs/AdMob_Android_SDK_Instructions.pdf
[Android Software Development] hyperbyteX:
I figured out how to do it by watchin a youtube video on it, just go to youtube and search "using admob android" or something like that, theres a bunch of different ones but the one I used was by some guy who say's he's from "fragger games in London"... he'll walk you through it, and then once you download the zip file on the admob site, you can copy and paste the code from the pdf file inside it
[Android Software Development] sijju:
hey,

You should try some of the app store's developers platforms.... I think they are the best way to go about. Try GetJar, InMobi, etc.

[Android Software Development] Dr. Hax:
So I'm screwing developers by having an adblocker?

I wasn't going to tap on the ad anyway. The ads never have anything good in them, they always look like scams. Its like those kind of ads you see on porn sites that say "HOT GIRLS NEAR YOU!" or something like that, its all fake or seems fake.

I'd bet that almost every ad click is completely accidental.

I wish we could remove the ads altogether. All ads do for the user is make the experience poorer, taking away screen real estate and usually looking hideous.
[Android Software Development] hyperbyteX:
How do you know that the porn ads that say "HOT GIRLS NEAR YOU!" are scams?

I use Admob too, have made like 60 cents so far lol. But my App isn't very popular (yet!) Once you get into the >250,000 category I think money starts rolling in.

Hi guys :) I need help to downgrade my rom 3.12 with spl 3.03 on my htc hd2 to 1.66, but i don't know the process to doing this.

Somebody help me? :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Just find the original stock ROM from your aria/branded device. And install it.

There are some stock Rom's here: link

For example if you're stock ROM is now the 3.14.405.2 the older one for the same aria is: 1.66.405.2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
Why would you want to downgrade?

Just simply find the correct stock rom (the older stock rom version), download it, connect your phone to PC using active sync or window mobile device center, run the downloaded file. That's it

Good luck

While in MAGLDR screen, select "USB Flasher" (to select, you can use volume button, and to confirm you can use the Green button/the phone call button), then RUN the LEO70ROM from your PC (while connected with your PC).

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
Hi everyone,

I don't know if it's just me, but i've noticed that when browsing the internet, in froyo roms scrolling, and pinch-zooming is quite choppy and not smooth at all ocmpared to sense roms.

Can something be done about it? or is it to do with the libraries and drivers used in these froyo roms?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaikat:
well i won't my experience with froyo browsers was bad, but i can say nothing beats sense.. i'm using fallah rom (legend based sense rom), and browsing is a treat, add to that the quality video and pics this rom gives, it just fantastic.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] szalay16:
I have to say that i havent got any problem with smoothness, but if u want, u can try out another browsers, like Miren Browser :D

i tried that and that is much more smoother than the stock one, but luckily i havent got any problem with the stock. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Smooth scrolling is in Sense roms. In non-Sense roms like CM is non-smooth scrolling ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rionline:
same here....i used tegro for a while with launcher pro only for the sense browser. i wonder why ....ui of cm is really fast...but browser ugly slow...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
+1 here

any Froyo ROM I have used, the browser is very choppy and not smooth like Sense..

adding the flash (in)capability to that is the main reason I switched back to 2.1 sense roms..

Yep, flash incapability sucks, flash was one of the main reasons i bought a hero instead of a iphone. :mad:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berky99:
Hi,

I'd be really grateful to anyone who can answer my newbie questions.

I'm looking to follow the guide to downgrade my non-network-branded (i.e. sim-free) Desire HD, so I can permanently root it. Then I intend to follow the other guide so I can still update to the latest official release. My primary requirement for rooting is just so I can make complete backups of my phone's state in future. Though I'll probably play about with other community ROMs too!

Sorry if answers to my questions are elsewhere, and feel free just to point if that's the case. I've searched but haven't found definitive answers. Knowing these things will increase my understanding. Although I'm used to tinkering with things a little am in no way a programmer and my last phone was a Nokia E65!

1) Please can someone list the different parts of the phone's memories, including which are impossible to write over and which are. E.g. my understanding is:

--One flash chip with:

- 'bootloader', which to me sounds like a PC's BIOS or the kind of app you can boot into on a standard desktop PC when choosing which OS to boot into;

- factory image partition;

- separate partition for over the air updates;

- 1GB partition for user-writeable memory for things like apps installed on the phone, contacts, etc.

--Physically separate 'radio' chip that can be overwritten (I don't understand the difference between this and the OS though)

--RAM;

--microSD card.

2) After following the two guides mentioned above, will I still be able to receive over the air HTC updates in future? And if not, does that mean I'd be relying on the community to make available any official updates? I bought my DHD through an official UK retailer.

3) After following the two guides mentioned above, will it still be possible to restore my phone to its factory state in future, e.g. for resale or sending back to HTC, so everything that we unlock ('eng s-off', 'radio s-off', etc., which fries my brain right now) is locked again? If so, can a guide to this process be linked to?

4) I understand it's possible to switch between custom ROMs easily. When this is done, does that mean all system settings, such as phone contacts and app settings are also switched, or are these settings written to a different part of the phone memory?

I'll be sure to thank (and donate) for your time. Many thanks in advance as well!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poumpoum:
Hi, I just bought the DHD 3 weeks ago and it is still difficult to understand to understand all this android stuff sometimes :D

1) I was a little lost at the beginning too, I don't know if this is what you are looking for but this is what I understood.

There are 4 flashable "things" :

- ROM OS (android OS)

- Linux Kernel (linux kernel)

- ROM radio (another ROM that manage ONLY the hardware stuff like 3G, Wi-Fi, bluetooth, GPS...)

- bootloader (exactly like a bios) and contains a recovery menu (that can be flashed by clockworkmod for example)

The ROM radio seems independant and you can flashed it separatly from the other it doesn't bother. The last versions improve battery life or GPS startup etc...

The ROM OS (android) need to be flashed with the kernel otherwise you can have some problem (wi-fi or data network that doesn't work anymore...).

S-Off means security off and it is necessary to do it if you want to write a new recovery on the bootloader or flash a new radio ROM...

Ther is two kind of S-Off but I'm not sure of the meaning so I let you watch about it.

When you install through the official ways :

1 OTA : You need to have the official recovery from the bootloader otherwise it will NOT work (no OTA with clockworkmod)

If your phone is network-branded you need a goldcard here and/or superCID (I don't really understand here lol)

After the installation I think you keep the S-Off but you're not root anymore.

2 RUU : It will install/reinstall everything (ROM OS, kernel, ROM radio and bootloader).

It is even capable of reseting your CID (your not concerned here because your phone is non-network-branded)

If think you loose the S-Off (or ENG S-Off -> SHIPS S-Off), you're not root anymore...

If you want to keep S-OFF, SuperCID and ClockWorkMod you need to :

1 flash the ROM OS through the ClockWorkMod recovery -> update.zip (you can give it the OTA file .zip, it will only flash the ROM OS)

2 flash the kernel manualy with fastboot (you can also use the boot.img contain in your OTA file)

3 flash the ROM radio (there is the excellent tuto here on XDA about this)

2) OTA will not be possible if you want to use clockworkmod. I was a little anxious about that too at the beginning! But you can find the official

ROMS REALLY easily on XDA probably before your provider send it to you. And when you do everything manually, you can CHOOSE wich radio ROM you want,

you can do backup REALLY quickly with clockworkmod and you can come back (things you can't do if you use OTA)... The last point that confort me

in doing all of this is that you can download OTA but not install it to pick up the ROMs inside and the kernel ! I did it last week and my phone

is now running the two ROMS that was contained in the OTA file AND the kernel. This is why I'm not worried anymore.

3) I never tried to restore my phone to its exact factory settings but I think you can...

4) I don't really now. In my case, I decided to use Google for my contact too, so when I flash, a few minutes later I have all my contacts :)

I hope my english is not too bad for explainations like this :)

Hi poumpoum,

Firstly, thanks so much for taking the time to help. Your English is ten times better than my Française! If you've a PayPal account you'd like to Personal Message me, or just the name of your preferred charity, I'd like to say a little thanks that way too.

Okay: so I understand that doing these cool things to my phone means I won't be able to update it over the air. You've convinced me this isn't a problem because any updates find their way to the community.

I'm also convinced I can restore my phone completely to factory defaults due to this thread (the thread's for a different region but the principle still stands).

Thanks for clarifying the radio ROM shares the same physical chip as all the other memory (including the RAM actually, I found this out).

This thread also explained some of the jargon to me.

Hi everyone,

I have purchaced the paid version of Ip Cam Viewer.

Before downloading the application the authorization for PHONE CALLS: read phone state and ID was not asked via the android market interface.

Once the application was installed I could see in the apllication settings that the app had the "read phone state and ID " access.

I have contacted the developper who told me that this permission was not written in the app code.

Another user with the same app told me that the Read_Phone_State wasnt displayed in his settings menu so the problem really come from my system.

I have a G2 (Desire Z) running with Android 2.2.1.

Any idea of what is going on?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealHero:
Hi all

I am using FroydVillain 1.7.2 ROM with Flykernel 12 on my HTC Hero. Everything works fine except one issue that I came across lately. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.

I was trying to use the native USB tethering. As I understand, HTC Sync is required for this to work, so I downloaded the latest version (3.0.5511) from HTC site. When I choose USB tethering on phone, Device manager shows 'Android Phone'. Upon googling, I realized that HTC Remote NDIS Based device driver required for this feature to work. So I manually tried updating the driver and pointing to path C:\Prog Files\HTC\Driver\Vista_x86\. Windows detects the driver correctly, but gives me an error "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service" (screenshot attached). I also noticed that HTC Sync does not detect my phone. I do not get a 'Synchronize' option on my phone either. Wifi tethering works fine. Hope someone here can help me out.

Thanks in advance!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
After pairing the carkit ST ONE R60 my HTC HD2 shows two devices:

1. Handsfree

2. Stereo Audio

The first time I used TomTom on the HTC HD2 with bluetooth-carkit ST ONE R60,

the TomTom instructions and warnings were send to the Handsfree device.

After a softreset the TomTom sounds could only be heard when I activated the Stereo Audio device (a2dp).

The sound quality is good, but instructions and warnings are skipped or incomplete.

Because it worked the first time I got the opinion that the skipping problem could be solved by changing registry settings.

Not any tip or hack solved the skipping problem.

I replaced the systemfile with different versions of a2dp.dll; the skipping problem stays.

I found freeware called BTaudio that redirects speaker-output to the Handsfree device.

Works great, but after every phonecall BTaudio stops and needs a restart.

The solution for now is using Mortscript, also freeware.

I installed Mortscript on the HTC HD2 and made a script that keeps BTaudio alive.

When using mortscript BTaudio will be restarted as long as TomTom Navigator.exe is activ.

I added all the things I used in a rar file called Mort-BTaudio.rar

BTaudio exe's did not have an icon in it. I added an icon in case the apps are used without a script.

Before using the script, path's and filenames need to be changed!

More info at links below.

Mortscript: http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&entry=ms_program&action=list

BTaudio: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/sams...ity-redirect-all-audio-bluetooth-headset.html

An alternativ was found on:

http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...-bluetooth-headphones-headset-workaround.html

The registry settings below does the same job by downgrading the Handsfree kit to a simple one. The TomTom sounds no longer are directed to the a2dp-device.

HKLM\Software\Widcomm\Plugin\Handsfree

Change AudioPreferences to (3)

Change AudioHandling to (19)

Make sure SupportedFeatures is (55)
