Just fired up the emulator. Its dog slow and its stuck in portrait mode on its side! Does anyone know how to get it into landscape mode?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cslawren:
I tried figuring it out but couldn't, must be a feature.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] swm5126:
Yeah, same here. Emulator is REALLY slow. I mean I expected it to be maybe a little slower than previous versions, but holy crap. My computer is by no means the best out there, but it certainly isn't slow. You can barely even tell what's going on when you do something.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NoEnd:
try Numpad 9 and 7
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Redh3ad:
Or Ctrl+F11 / Ctrl+F12
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] athornz:
Yea I had to google search how to change orientation, with numlock OFF, numpad 7 or 9.

And yea the emulator is super super slow.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of widgets in there, or new apps etc.

I know honeycomb is meant to be 'built from the ground up' for tablets, but to me it just seems like a tablet themed front end (launcher and app drawer). I manged to crash the launcher and then I saw the standard android notification bar etc.

As a side note, if honeycomb is going to be released in a few weeks with the Xoom, maybe google is skipping gingerbread on the nexus 1 and going straight to honeycomb?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cainhunpi:
Its not going to work like that. Tablets are going 3.x route

and phones are going to stay 2.x

So the next phone release will be 2.4
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] footboydog:
I tried the usual emu shortcuts (Numpad 7 and 9, Ctrl F11 and F12) but they just switch the window orientation, not the Android UI. If the window goes into portrait mode its slightly too tall for my monitor (1920x1200 res). If the window is in landscape mode the UI remains in portrait so its sideways on (if you see what I mean).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cTrox:
And you got your Information from...?

Some Android guy confirmed, that Honeycomb isn't Tablet exclusive.

And it also says that 3.0 is specifically optimized for Tablets but NOT that it's Tablet-exclusive! http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0-highlights.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JimmyBanks:
According to the interview with Matias Duarte and Engadget, Honeycomb will be optimized for both phone and tablet sized hardware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] athornz:
In the Engadget interview with the android UI guy, I can't remember exactly what he said, but he hinted that honeycomb is not exclusively for tablets, just what we have seen of it so far is.

I think the phone version of honeycomb will just be like the gingerbread UI with the new apis and features of honeycomb
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdeslip:
It is stuck in portrait mode for me too. Ctrl-f11 switches the window layout but the android inside is still portrait...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdeslip:
Apparently you need to go into settings and turn off automatic orientation ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] js8:
Anyone having luck with getting it to run?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] athornz:
So how long before we see the camera app extracted and running on our phones?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zer0day:
Emulator is horrendesly slow. I know it's a preview sdk but urg...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gregounech:
The launcher keeps crashing for me, it worked one but wanted to change resolution so closed it :mad:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] athornz:
I think the launcher only works at the default resolution.

I changed the scale when you launch the avd to fit it on my screen
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paczek:
What is new for honeycomb? Sorry if I sound like a noob
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fards:
watch the videos and play with the sdk, there's quite a lot..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FatTony666:
The camera app looks pretty slick. I think I am going to wait until a more refined SDK is released before I start fiddling. So, what's the over/under on when this starts making it's way into ROMs? Specifically CM...

Man, CM 7 is only in it's 15th nightly and I'm already jonesing for CM 8 with Honeycomb. Though will it still work on my OG Droid...?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] js8:
Anyone seen the 3.0 camera app floating around... apk for 2.3/2.2?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] footboydog:
Thank you! I no longer need to strain my neck now!

It might not have much effect but to speed things up increase the "Device ram size" and "Max VM Application heap size" when creating the AVD. I have mine at 1024 and 100 respectively.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikkel-ol:
Thank you! My neck is back to normal..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kashban:
Hm, I basicly wanted to know if it will run on my Archos 101 it, so I stick with 256 MiByte RAM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jaeisber:
num 7 or 9 and the Ctrl F11 F12 work to change the window orientation, but the honeycomb emulation stays in portrait mode. I can get it to be in portrait mode, but when I change back to landscape, the emulation stays in portrait mode and everything is sideways.

I have unchecked the Auto-Rotate Screen box, but it nothing happens.

Any thoughts?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] quake101:
I'm going to download this tonight and play around with it! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] footboydog:
I had to press Ctrl F11/F12 after unchecking the auto rotate check box.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jaeisber:
Yeah, I did that. Only thing it did was rotate the window to put it in portrait mode so the screen was long, not wide. The orientation of the emulation was correct, but I was the window to be in landscape not portrait. When i switch back to landscape mode, the emulation rotates with it and is sideways.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jaeisber:
Figured a different way to do it. I just reversed the resolution from 1280x800 to 800x1280, then pressed num 7 to rotate and everything is good.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SoyoBro:
Honeycomb on Nexus One Preview

Honeycomb on Nexus One Preview:

Just change resolution of AVD to 480x800 (260 density). It keeps crashing but you can see the layout changes for a smaller form factor we are use to on mobile phones.

*Custom launcher, as default crashes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] necrogami:
I found the trick for landscape!

Start Honeycomb

Immediately rotate orentation 7/9 f11/12

Wait for honeycomb to start

goto settings and screen

turn off auto rotation

rotate screen

LANDSCAPE MODE!

Correction this works for a while but the screen goes green and resets to portrait mode.

Screen rotation in Mac OS X?

I'm running the Honeycomb SDK in Mac OS X. I disabled auto screen rotation in the Settings, but Ctrl-F11 won't rotate the screen. My MacBook Pro doesn't have a numeric keypad, and pressing 7 or 9 has no effect.

Anyone else in the same boat figured out how to rotate the screen?

thanks

S

[UPDATE: Use Ctrl + Fn + F11, possibly several times, to rotate the screen].
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbock:
I've had a GT-I9000 SGS for about 4 months now. In terms of software and speed I'm happy after rooting and applying a lag fix.

The annoyance now is that the metal frame around the phone feels loose. So that always as I hold the phone to press the up or down volume or the on/off button, it always squeaks. Does your phone have the same problem? I've considered sending it back but I wanna know if mine is the rule or an exception.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammy_user:
Mine is fine, sent it to repair or put a silicon case in it to avoid the effect
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
No problem here. But are you sure its metal? Mine feels like plastic and as my phone hit the table and then the ground it scratched on it like on plastic.

Mine battery is loose though, fixed it with a piece of plastic too :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbock:
Good to know... Seriously considering sending it back. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepsch:
Same here, but it was the battery cover at its border where it touches the phones frame.

Try it without the battery cover. Still the same?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcon10:
yep i have this problem, its abit spongy wen you push it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbock:
Well, trying without the back cover does make a difference. Not 100% perfect but much better. In the end I've just discovered the reason. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll just get an extra cover.
[HD2 General] nraf:
I'm looking at this phone in particular: cgi.ebay.com.au/htc-hd2-phone-2X-memory-fastest-NEW-OZ-warranty-RARE-/260726883438?pt=AU_Mobile_Phones&hash=item3cb488846e

Would it be able to run all the HD2 roms developed?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
I wonder why he can't show an actual picture of one of the TMOUS phones (they have red and green call buttons)?

If assuming that they are genuine TMOUS, and that they are all working fine, then they should be able to flash Nandroid, WP7 and quite a few of the custom ROMs (the chefs should say if their ROM is TMOUS compatible).

The only real major concern is flashing a .51 RADIO - which will turn your nice phone into a rather expansive paperweight. If you are using a stock ROM, then check that it is for a TMOUS.

As for price and value, sorry I don't know enough to comment.
[HD2 General] nraf:
What do you mean by .51 radio? If it has that, would that mean I wouldn't be able to run Android on it (or possibly, only run it from an SD card)? Is it only T-Mobile phones that have such a radio? If I get the 8585, would this be of an concern?
[HD2 General] bleui:
I believe the T-mous version can only run the .50 radio... hence the analogy of expensive paperweight when you flash it with the .51 radio
[Gen8 General] chemical1der:
Quick Question: If I remove Android's kernel would I also get rid of the firmware?

TIA!
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
No, of course it does not. Because if it would, what should the device boot then? ;)
[Gen8 General] chemical1der:
that's what i thought. my Archos gave me a rather ominous warning about removing the kernel. i'm used to flashing kernels on my DINC but am brand new to doing so on my Archos. thanks for the quick response and the root solution!
[Gen8 General] Veritas06:
To do this, do you each step right after the other? I was going to allow my 101 to boot into the newly installed 2.1.02 after a full system wipe but i'm getting a bootloop when trying to start.

EDIT: Followed from the beginning again (already had the SDE firmware installed), & still ends in bootloops =\ Guess i'm trying a few more times but i was wondering if anyone else had success?
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
This has nothing to do with rooting.. it is a problem many are having, including myself with the new firmware. It might be because the kernel is a little bigger and it won't fit in some boot partitions that may have bad blocks. I've contacted Archos support so they know of the problem and hopefully they'll get a fix out soon.
[Gen8 General] carlochiefsg:
good job!

But Rotating the device took about 10 seconds for the home screen to update all the icons. Any way to imporve the speed?:D

Thanks much for help!
[Gen8 General] Veritas06:
Thanks for the heads up. I have an EVO so i've seen users with bad blocks but assumed this was after flashing a few dozen times, guess i was wrong =\. Hopefully we'll see a modified update soon.

Thanks again!
[Gen8 General] rUmtifUsel:
sorry for the noobish question...

does this method gain full root access to the system partition, so that adfree, rootexplorer, ... will work correctly?
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
yes you get root access and yes you can modify the system files, but after a reboot, everything is reverted :)
[Gen8 General] rUmtifUsel:
thx for the quick reply ;)

but if i use step 4 of your howto:

then should be everthing fine...
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
changes to system directories / files aren't saved on disk (tmpfs) so after a reboot all changes are reverted, even if you boot again into root.
[Gen8 General] rUmtifUsel:
ok.

is there allready a way, or will there be a way someday with full access without tmpfs?
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
either you go with the very custom UrukDroid or wait some time until myself or someone else starts investigating into this (my approach would be, using stock archos firmware and add simple but persistent r/w acces, no less no more) ;)
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
Slightly OT but am currently using UrukDroid and am pretty happy with it. However, it is always good to see different people's ways of implementing things, so if you do decide to look into rooting your way, I'd certainly be up for giving it a try!
[Gen8 General] chemical1der:
+1

I'm always up for testing. Let me know!
[Gen8 General] thefunkaygibbon:
Anyone tried with the 250GB A70?

I will do tonight, but away from my charger to connect for the initial upgrade.
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
UPDATE

Now compatible with 2.1.03 :)
[Gen8 General] JeG81:
thank you very much for this!

works perfectly on my 101 :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bogdatov:
I'm having strange problem with calls on hold. This is Android 2.2 (Desire Z ROM on T-Mobile HD2). Here is my scenario

During Call1, second call (Call2) comes in. I answer Call2 and automatically Call1 goes on hold. Good so far. Once I'm done with Call2, I disconnect Call2. But ... Call1 is still on hold. It does NOT automatically become active. And I do not see any way on "UnHold" it :( There is red button "End Call" on screen. There is notification about call "on hold" in notification (top) bar. But there is no button, no nothing which could help me RETRIEVE Call1 from hold.

Any ideas ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Calls on hold can be unholded by pressin the windows flag, the option is there, and to switch between calls, after you are done with call 2 tap on call one and normally you should switch to that call, but either way thats where its located.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bogdatov:
Thanks. Used to WM way of handling "Hold" where everything is on screen.

What worked for me was after a restart, make a call and put in speaker phone. Worked like a charm. Also, check your radio-version
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brpo25:
when i call make and put in speaker phone is OK, but it's still difficult to do.

check your radio-version

sorry, my English is not good, and I do not understand your sentence "check your radio-version

I do not know what

I do not know what to check
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
After you've done the speakerphone thing once, it should be okay until your next reboot. That's my understanding anyway.

As for the comment about your radio, you can ignore that. The radio you have is a very good one, and is currently the most up-to-date.

When you turned off audible touch tones, did you also turn off haptic feedback? I'm not sure it's linked, but it's usually suggested to turn both of them off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brpo25:
I upload to my HTC Pure Gingerbread gpc hd2 v1.0 I disable everything what you wrote. I use the speaker several times and then I write that everything is OK. thank you

Any one insane enough to try a quick and dirty port?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
An SDK port of an unreleased tablet-only OS sounds like a major waste of time to me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] M-en-M:
They did it with the SDK of Gingerbread, and this one will earn the devs some serious props (and mentions from virtually every tech site, I presume).

That might just be me, though. I'd certainly like to see it happen, no matter how unstable or unusable it might be.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackalice:
I think the port would be more a case of. LOOK WHAT I CAN DO, then any thing else.

(Have a peek at www.twitter.com/blackal1ce , I'm posting up screenshots from the REALLY slow SDK)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
They started porting it - as they did with every release before - and got fed up after a while because it's too much effort for something that Google's gonna release a couple of weeks later anyway.

Although the GB SDK port was still majorly flawed, it was at least meant to run on phones with this kind of hardware. Have you seen the previews of Honeycomb? Even if someone did a pretty decent SDK port (which on itself is already quite impossible) it still wouldn't be any good because even our big-ass 4.3" screen is still nothing compared to a tablet. The UI just wouldn't be useable.

And yes I know there's gonna be people willing to give it a shot anyway, and of course that's fine by me, best of luck. Just trying to keep it real here: don't get your hopes up for a somewhat useable port because I don't see that happening before Google decides to put it in AOSP.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
While I agree you couldn't just compile and run this thing on a HD2, it's not just for tablets. It's optimised to be used on higher resolutions and bigger screens, but will still run fine on phones.

I reckon we'll be seeing ports of this in the near future :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
No, as of now it really is officially tablet-only, and I'm not talking just about the technical stuff. A tablet OS isn't quite useable on a phone, not because you can't run it, but because it's really hard to use its UI.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I did hear originally that is was tablet only, but I've since heard reports that it's viable for phones as well. You know what t'internet's like. I guess we'll only know when it's actually out proper!
