Hi all,

I hope this is not a 'noob' questions, but I googled and got nothing.

I downloaded WidgetLauncher and can't enable the root access to overcome some issues inherent in the AndroidOS. It says Root is either not available or denied.

I am running D2G on stock ROM with root. SU does not ask for permission when I select this option on WL, so how does the program automatically assume I am not/can't use the root feature?

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kmulliger:
Have you installed busybox? That and superuser can tell you if you ARE rooted. If not, download SuperOneClick to your PC, connect your phone and run it. Make sure you have USB debugging mode on, but do not mount USB as mass storage. Don't hesitate to look for rooting help here or elsewhere (I.E. Droid Forums, Android Central)
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zervic:
Does anyone have the correct procedures for switching the launcher include with CM7 with a different one? What I did:

-downloaded rom zip

-deleted ADWLauncher.APK within zip with WinRAR

-copied ADWex APK to computer. Renamed to ADWLauncher.APK

-placed new APK in zip

-flashed zip

It doesn't look like it worked. It looks like the old ADW launcher is gone but I don't have two copies of ADWex installed ...anyone got any ideas?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] drowningchild:
you should have uninstalled adw ex beforehand just to make sure we have nandroid for a reason
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zervic:
So uninstall ex, clockwork, nandroid, flash 'modded' zip, money?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] drowningchild:
i was saying before u removed stock ADW,(nandroid if you want) uninstall ADWEX, then flash modded .zip
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] 7U8D:
don't rename, put ADWEX.APK is OK
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] fundio:
install adwex, open root explorer, move adwex from data, app, to system app, rename it ADWEXlauncher.apk then move or delete adwlauncher.apk out of system,app. now adwex will be your only launcher. at least it worked for me. you can also do it using adb.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zervic:
that won't work for the aria fyi. are you on an aria? if you are, reboot your phone and then open root explorer. i'll bet you will see the adwlauncher.apk in system/app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyakasha:
I use my Nexus kinda like a glorified pmp for now (I don't have a sim card), so it runs in airplane mode 24/7 with wifi active. Why would the dialer process be so high when looking at the battery stats?

EDIT: I found something that said it could be the "turn to silence" feature causing runaway Dialer usage. I looked and mine was indeed checked. I turned it off and will see if that changes anything tomorrow.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Where is that turn to silence option located at?

I don't have this issue, but sounds like a good tip to share when the question inevitably pops up again...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyakasha:
Sorry for the late reply, forgot i started this thread.

It's in Call Settings. Look for "Turn over silence" under Advanced Settings. For what it's worth, it didn't solve my issue. Dialer is still sitting around 17% :confused:

Hi I wanted to know how should i access my phone memory.

Model: Xperia Mini Pro

Version: 2.1 update 1

I'm able to access all the files in SD card, but not sure how to locate the phone memory, should i install any application to access that?

Also all the application i install goes into the phone memory (i'm running out of space) any alternative way to route that to memory card?

Your ideas and suggestions will be really helpful.

Thanks a lot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
1. You are in the wrong forum. Go the X10 mini forum.

2. You need to be rooted to access the phone/system files.

3. Once you are rooted, you can use Root Explorer to access the phone/system files.

Good luck.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlier1977:
I flashed my phone with Cognition v3.03 and now I am getting these nature noises mixed with music, the kind like you would hear on a white noise machine to relax by. So far it has happened twice. I can't figure out how to stop the "music" without having to shut the phone off and restart. I have tried to use Advanced Task Killer, which reports that all tasks have been killed but the music continues. Has anybody else had this issue.

I also had an issue with incoming calls. When I would receive a call I would get a pop-up message about com.android process has force closed. I was able to resolve this by disabling the Answering call --> Answering mode. Not sure what this was doing but my phone didn't like it. Can someone explain this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Looks like a bad flash. Did u try restoring to stock and then flashing the ROM again. And do not restore any system data using TiBu.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlier1977:
Cannot flash back to stock

I have tried to flash back to stock but I cannot get any windows pc to recognize my device. I am getting USB Device Not Recognized msg. I have tried this on several Windows based machines (laptops and desktops) all running Win 7 Ultimate one is a 32bit the others are 64bit machines, multiple USB ports, different cables. I have tried un-installing and re-installing drivers. Still not able to get pc to recognize device. I can plug into my Linux laptop (my main laptop) and I can mount as mass storage just fine. I even tried to uninstall the USB ROOT HUB on one of my laptops and still getting the same issue.

Is there another way of flashing back to stock other than using Odin.

also this happens if I am in phone mode with USB debugging enabled or disabled, in download mode as well.

Glad to be of help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
I found, for me anyways, the source for the nature sounds during music playback. I use doubletwist as my main media player, and just recently used the whole airsync feature. While syncing, I noticed that all of the UI sounds are in the playback folder... And in those UI files are clips for rain and mist and keypress and other various noises.

It really doesn't bother me that much seeing as how the sound clips are less than half a second long and it's just a 'blip' between switching songs.

{edit} Added APK.

After much testing and debugging, I present to you the Android counterpart to the Penki light painting app!

What is Penki? Check out this review:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/02/app-review-penki-light-painting-for-ios/

Aurora Bulb does what Penki does - and more! It does both text and bitmaps, for example.

Please download and try it out (QR code here) and post any photos you make here or in the dedicated Flickr Group at:

[Android Apps and Games] lettucegoatee:

Looks very cool, can we have a link? I would love to try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] patientx:
Does it work like Penki ? Are the instructions the same ?
[Android Apps and Games] xaffron:
I've just attached the APK to the original post... try it out!

It works exactly the same way as Penki, except that you can control the colors, fonts and even load a bitmap.

Post any pictures you create using the app... it's free!

Very cool, Ty. Will give it a try tonight. ;)

Any advice on getting this working without a camera, i.e. just by waving the phone back and forth in a dark room?

It seems to me that all you would need to do is wave it at the correct speed so that the scrolling letters sync up with the text, but after some pretty extensive trial and error I will say that this is not nearly as easy as it seems.

I tried to install setcpu zip file through clockwork mod latest recovery. Choose zip from sdcard-> download -setcpu 2.10.zip. but usually on my n1, after installing a zip file, it'll say installation succeeded or so, this time it just goes by really fast then go right back to the main menu of clockworkmod. What possibly is going wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
That is probably just a zip of the SetCPU apk. Extract the apk, copy it to your phone, and install with a file manager.

Ok, it's my first Droid phone, so these questions are going to seem incredibly stupid, but I'm just not sure what some of these acronyms mean:

RUU

AOSP

WIP

DeOdexed

And if the acronym isn't self-explanatory, a bit of explanation as to what these things are would be appreciated.

I'd like to be able to start contributing from time to time around here, but I often get stumped halfway through a thread trying to figure out what the hell someone's talking about.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dread 7us:
RUU = Rom Update Utility (ones posted here are usually from the manufacturer to restore your phone in case you mess up)

AOSP = Android Open Source Project (here that usually refers to a ROM that's pure android)

WIP = Work In Progress (usually a ROM or app that's not considered stable yet)

Deodexed = (not sure what it stands for but I know a ROM can be odex which can't be themed and deodexed that can be themed)

Sent from my PG06100
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
And odex is a part of an app file that is separate from the app APK (Application installer kit, I believe, essentially is a .exe for android). Having this file allows for slightly faster boots as the boot information is stored in a separate file however it makes themeing very difficult. When a rom is DeOdexed it means the odex file has been merged with APK file hence it has been de-odexed!)

Hope that clears things up!

Ah, thanks.

This is your first Android phone. Not a Droid. Droid is by Verizon and is a brand not an OS.

I'm Shifting on 4G.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Was that necessary? A simple

Would have worked fine.

Also, Droid is not a brand its a LucasArts trademark currently being used by Motorola, HTC, and Verizon for a certain line of Android smartphones. ;) Don't correct people when you're wrong yourself. Bro.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddahWolf01:
Haha you said bro...

Anyways droid is not being used by HTC. And you know what he means by brand. He is trying to keep you from getting abused later by telling you what is up.

Why do 80% of all forum treads have to contain some sort of cat fight?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
The Droid Eris wasn't made by HTC? How about the Droid Incredible? Gosh you're right neither of those were HTC phones...oh wait, I guess they both were! Again, people really need to know their stuff before telling someone they're wrong =(

My point was that you don't need to be rude in telling someone they're wrong. I'm rude to rude people and nice to people who genuinely ask for help. Those who make assumptions and claims that are based entirely in the fiction of their minds while trying to prove other people wrong.

PS: I said 'bro' as a form of ironic mockery. ;) Look it up sometime!

Oh and the reason "catfights" break out is because people like you two stroll in and act like a**hats! :D
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
My post was not rude. While Droid is a trademark owned by Lucas Film (as anyone can see on the fine print on their commercials) it is a BRAND of phones offered by Verizon. HTC and Motorola just call their phones what Verizon wants. Just as much as the EVO is now a brand of phones for Sprint.

Every thread you have posted in has turned into a fight and your posts only look to move the topic of discussion from what the OP intended by turning it personal. Please, if you cant use the forums as intended please refrain from "contributing".

Sorry OP if you think what I wrote was "rude", just trying to help you out with learning the lingo.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddahWolf01:
You are right about HTC after all, it was pretty late and I wasn't thinking clearly when I posted that. I was just taking up for riggs because I didn't find his post rude at all. He didn't add a smiley or anything... but at most it was just "straight forward." Your post is the first post in this thread that I would consider rude bro.

And he does have a point about alot of your posts being the posts that seem to start things off in a bad direction. (cat fight)

Yea I've tried like 20 roms.always locks up and force closes after reboot. Sometime it sits for like 5 mins before the fc message pops up.

I have had this happen a couple of times as well. However, I have noticed that it only happens when I try to start opening things or moving between home screens before the media scanning has finished. If I let it do its thing, then it doesn't seem to hang ever. Still kind of annoying, and I don't know if that is the case with you all as well, but that seems to be what causes it on mine.
[Vibrant General] darkside79:
Nope because I always wait till the media scanner is done.but it still locks up and a fc message pops up.even let it sit for like 20 mins before but was still stuck until it errored out and fc again.they need to fix the dam bug.I even got the plus version.

LP runs fine for me, but I'm having a problem having it stick as the default launcher. Whenever I use Titanium Backup or long-press the home button, I'll get the prompt asking me which home application. There are a couple of other apps that result in the same problem, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I've tried using Home Switcher to see if that fixes it, but no luck. I have the same problem with ADW EX.
[Vibrant General] swehes:

When lp acts funny for me I hit the power button then unlock it and that usually works for me.
[Vibrant General] drew2000:
LauncherPro has worked great on my device with 2.2 (Nero V5) the only time I seem to notice anything is when the media scan is finishing its thing and there are to many apps running at start up in the background. I use advance task killer to kill the apps that do not need to be running and I never seem to have the problem again until I reboot. It doesn't seem to me to be a LauncherPro issue, media scan seems to bring the device to its knees until it is finished. Once my device is running smooth I never seem to have that issue again only after I reboot my device.

Love my Vibrant and LauncherPro Plus is far better then all the other Launchers I have tried (in my humble opinion) but each of us have different needs I guess. I actually use almost everyone of the widgets and can not wait for the update coming when the gmail widget will be added to the Launcher.

Actually i tried reinstall before post: (
[Vibrant General] kobesabi:
I was using Nero5 and got the same problem FC alot in LauncherPro. I couldn't save the LP settings though. What seemed to fix it is removing LP and reinstall it. After that, things seem to work better and less FC with LP.

I'm using stock Froyo now with fresh LP install from the market, no FC so far. So I would say it's not LP always hanged in 2.2...but something is stuck or got carried over from previous installation/ROM. Just try remove it and reinstall LP again from Market, it should work better - at least for me, it did.
[Vibrant General] Ms_vibrant1:
Same thing happens to mu phone on adw ex... when i turn my phone off and turn it back on, the screen goea blank, i can only see the notification bar scanning, but would hang on black screen then shuts off by itself.. that's with stock ka7.. now im on ka6 kies version and my phone is fine...

or maybe the cause was the lock screen? I used the pin code lock screen.. it could be it? Now im on ka6 official and with pattern lock screen, it seems fine... and i domt wanna try and use any other lock screen besides the pattern one. Ive done countless reflash because o this issue.. so no more flashing, lol.. but i could be wrong though, it could be something else that's causinrit, just speculating..
