You can't replace WM with Android yet but you can do so Haret autostarts, use the search function and you will find how to do it.

I don't think that they have solve how to boot from internal memory so you have to have Android on the SD-card.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] manishabanzadeh:
use dual boot & select android as the default OS;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wipped:
how do i do that? (dual boot)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] manishabanzadeh:
use this;)

go to Gen.Y dualboot,select android

note:use haret for the first time of booting android,then restart then above steps

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasinac:
Hi All!

I found a few threads on the Internet in different forums with no answer so I thought I'll ask the pros:

When I'm using Pin or Password to unlock the phone, I get the standard lockscreen display before I can unlock the phone, so it goes:

On/Off Button -> Lock Screen -> Pin / Password

The problem is when I'm using an unlock pattern, the lock screen gets skipped, so it goes:

On/Off Button -> Unlock Pattern

This is very annoying since I like to use the lockscreens mute function without having to unlock the phone. Apparently there is no way of changing this with settings so I was wondering if anyone know of a patch or another way to have the lockscreen AND the unlock pattern?

I'm using the Oxygen 2.0 RC6 Gingerbread Rom on my Desire but this seems to be a generel "issue" with stock Android Roms (Hero Roms and Froyo Roms is the same) - Sense based Roms behave different.

Thx for any hint!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mabus the Mad:
*bump*

I am having a similar issue and my searching only found this thread.

While at work (2/3rds of my waking life) I use my phone at work to see where my next appointment is. It's very convenient to just glance down and see what meeting I have next by only hitting the power button. From what I have seen there are a lot of apps which will add this functionality to the lock screen.

The problem is when I add a passcode (required by work) it replaces the unlock screen with the passcode screen. I have seen that other Android phones do not do this, but the Captivate does. I've tried four different roms and all have this same behavior.

Is it possible to have the unlock screen come up, and when the phone is unlocked to prompt the passcode? I can't find a setting anywhere and the third party apps like Flylock have a jarring user experience in this configuration.

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
The purpose of the pattern lock is to prevent unauthorized use of the phone. So it doesn't make sense if you put the lock screen over the pattern lock(or combined them) as you, or any stranger, will be able to issue commands(mute, read messages, weather, music etc. there are lots of widgets running on the lock screen) to the phone BEFORE unlocking it.

The security of the pattern lock will be totally compromised.

So the only choice is pattern lock over lock screen. I don't see how this makes anything easier. And I won't go into how it will create huge security loopholes/bypass the pattern lock completely if widgets or anything is allow to run on/over the lockscreen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mabus the Mad:
Perhaps I am using the wrong terminology, I should be referring to it as the "Unlock Screen" (Settings -> Display -> Unlock Screen). From this screen it appears that you can:

1) View the time

2) Unlock the phone

3) Mute the phone

4) See the notification bar (Vibrate, Battery, Signal, Pending notifications, etc)

I would actually like to add:

5) Next calendar appointment with location

6) Weather

This is all actions / information I want available at a glance and without unlocking the phone. Once I attempt to unlock I would like to be presented with the pattern / pin security. In this way all my private information remains hidden, but the information I use the most often while walking / driving is readily available.

I am also good with anyone else being able to pick up my phone and perform the actions I listed on the unlock screen. I believe this information is available from the unlock screen on the Windows Phone and iPhone (assuming it's your only notification, their notification system sucks).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
That PERMISSION to allow you do issue commands to your phone will compromise the security of the pattern/pin lock screen. You need to understand the core concept of the pattern lock screen is to be secure - no unauthorized use of the phone, whether it's as small as viewing notifications to fullon running widgets/apps.

Plus your definition of being secure doesn't equate to everyone's definition of security. It fine for you to display messages on the securely locked phone but it's definitely not for some of my friends who have really sensitive data on their phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mabus the Mad:
I was not trying to advocate this behavior to everyone, just wondering if it was possible to set this up myself. One of the things I like about this phone is that everyone can customize it to fit their own tastes.

Actually, I think I found my solution. Flashed to CM7 last night. The pattern screen still had the behavior as the 2.2 roms but the passcode had the behavior I was looking for.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasinac:
Well the thing is: When using PIN or Password to unlock, you can actually use the lockscreen to mute etc. before unlocking. And using the original HTC Rom, this is possible using unlock pattern, too. Everyone will have to decide for themself if he cosiders this function a thread to security, its just really annoying that I have to decide between unlock pattern and unlock screen even tho it should not be a problem technicaly. Cyanogen guys apparently have this on their list, but with minor priority. I'm really close to moving back to a HTC rom actually...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWicket:
this bugs me too.. I like the PATTERN cause it's kind of unique and cool plus when you enter your pattern there is no "OK" key you have to press like you do when using PIN/PASSWORD which for some reason annoys me.. I suppose it's another line of defense against prying eyes that make it that much more work to try different pin options.. I don't know maybe it's to annoy them into giving up?.. Anyways, I've opted to use the PIN option because I too like seeing the Lock Screen and any info it has and I really don't see it as that big a security hole seeing the small amount of info on the lock screen.. unless you're running a ROM or app that has popups for messages and such.. and if it really is then Google should make the behavior that you do pattern then to the lock screen. of course I'm sure their reasoning for this is the pattern is a more difficult form of security to breach so there is benefit and no harm from taking you straight into the unlocked phone once the correct pattern has been entered. that doesn't mean we have to agree with the mighty G on this and I'm sure either Devs cooking in the ROM kitchen could change the behavior if they saw the want in the community, maybe a patch could be made or an app that changes the behavior. anyways, that's my $.02 :)

[Android Software Development] Rejh:
Hi.

I'm currently working on a wakeup-app (alarm) that plays your favorite radio-station via shoutcast-stream.

It looked really easy:

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(PATH_TO_FILE);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

Then I found out Eclair doesn't support shoutcast's ICY protocol. Grmbl.

So for 2.1 (and earlier versions) it is required to handle the shoutcast-stream seperatly and pass it to MediaPlayer via http.

I even found an example:

http://code.google.com/p/npr-android-app/source/browse/trunk/Npr/src/org/npr/android/news/StreamProxy.java

Problem is that it's all a bit too advanced for me, so I was wondering if anyone has a really simple example of how to do this?

Something like:

"Add 'this file' to your project (where 'this file' would be a class similarly to StreamProxy) and then add this to your application:"

StreamProxy sp = new StreamProxy();
sp.setDataSource( SHOUTCAST_URL );

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource( sp.getProxyUrl );
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

(Pardon my english :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
So being somewhat new to android.... the one thing I always wondered is, what is the BEST way to deal with certain programs? I am using advanced task killer... and if I bring it up right now, there might be 20 programs runnings... so I "kill" them all.....

open it up again right away, 6 of them restarting already.... and I am talking about apps I rarely use and do not need in the background at all.... I can only assume this adds to battery drain and slow down.

So my question is, is there a better app I should be using... or is there a way to tell an app to only launch/work on demand etc?

any input appreciated

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Free memory is wasted memory in the Linux environment that Android runs, so Android's memory manager will always try to load up stuff that it thinks you'll be using to have it ready and waiting to go when you want it.

That's the irony of people trying to use task killers on Android; most of the time it's pointless, since Android will just re-load the apps anyways. Sometimes a rogue app that just won't close and is sucking up juice unreasonably should be killed, but generally, it's best to avoid using any kind of task killer. The links provided by someone earlier should give you a good understanding of this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i would normally agree with you on this

but i've come across a dozen apps that gets HUNG in memory, and partially locks up the phone

and the only thing that can fix it, is by Killing the app or apps that hung

without a task killer, the only thing to do is to take out the battery

yes, some times it gets so bad that it wont even launch the shut down menu

and the weirdest thing is that usually those apps that hung, they work normally, except for some conflicts with other apps, every now and then
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
That's why I said "mostly", not "always".

Apps like that would be removed from my system until the developer fixed them.

Hi Peeps,

I initially had some issues with 'accidentally' taking the 1.72 update....since then however I followed the guides to roll back to 1.34 and this worked absolutely fine and have been using my phone with no issues, id also at this stage turned off the auto update feature....its still stock but with root and S-off

Since then id tried to flash the track pad wakeup fix and ended up borking my tackpad LED notification, so I had to do a nand restore (this also worked fine) but then I forgot to again disable the auto update......

Anyways I've now got an 'system update' notification sat menacingly in my notification bar and I cant clear it :eek:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Migital Warfare:
Edit: Changed the title to make the answer easier to find. The battery popup killer mod has nothing to do with why the battery level drops after unplugging, as you will learn when you read the linked article. Now, on to my original post...

Pretty much every ROM for the Epic now incorporates the Battery Full Popup Killer mod at this point, but are we sure there aren't any unintended side effects of it? Is the battery charge state still being recorded to the batterystats.bin file? I know when you delete it through a file manager, or reset the stats through CWM, it does regenerate, but there is a lot more info in that file than just the full and empty charge levels of the battery, so it would be regenerated for the other services that use it.

I've had issues with my battery reporting that it's full, but only showing a charge of anywhere between 94-98%. Now, if my battery were actually defective, and losing capacity faster than normal, the batterystats.bin file should be compensating for that by recording the lower full charge level and adjusting the percent reporting accordingly, but it doesn't seem to be doing that.

So, are we sure the state of the battery is being recorded, even though the popup is being blocked? What else could be causing this issue with so many people reporting that their batteries aren't charging to full?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comando156:
Questions need to go in the q&a section to keep the development section for pure development. Or as a reply on someones thread/rom. Although I have seen this question raised once before on mammons thread I think. I think the answer was that the battery is not set to charge to 100, and some other technictal details I can't remember. But from a day 1 owner of epic, my phone has never charged above 96-98, it will go to 100, but the second I pull it off charger down to 96-98. Even stock, with no mods to the battery popup notification. And now being on a rom that does have that no pop up notification, so I don't have to get woken up from a vibrating phone, there is no change. I'm sure someone else can give you the more detailed explination though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Migital Warfare:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiderep:
Hopefully this gets moved to the proper section as its a good question. Firon and I did some early work on this mod and I can tell you that we simply aimed at the graphical display and then stopped it from reporting. We didn't alter how it reports %s in anyway. I can also say that this issue is found in a stock epic right out of the box. My feelings are that the actual code for charging the battery is done this way on purpose which is lazy and over cautious imho, maybe they were worried about ruining batteries or even having one explode. Sounds like poor project management in any case.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Migital Warfare:
OK, after searching through the threads for a little while, I found a very good article dealing with this issue.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...bump-charging-and-inconsistent-battery-drain/

Basically, the battery is supposed to charge to 100%, and then it stops charging to drop the battery level down to a safe level. It will then periodically charge the battery again to maintain a high (but safe) charge level, but never back to 100%. The batteries used in smartphones today aren't safe to keep at 100%, nor is it good for them (they corrode faster), so the charging system keeps them at a full, but not completely full state during the charging process. The phone will report the battery as being full while plugged in, even though it could be running fully on battery power at that moment and a few percentage points below 100%. It does this to make it easy for regular users to know when their phone is finished charging. It's only when you delve into the details that you start to see that the battery isn't actually fully charged, and start to rip your hair out when trying to figure out why it won't do it.

To sum up the entire article, it's supposed to do that. There isn't anything wrong with your battery, or your phone, it's done to prolong the life of the battery, and so the battery won't explode or catch fire by being held at 100% for too long.
