[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Well since you didnt write WHICH apps or WHICH home I suppose you are speaking about the Samsung ones, which are written for 240 DPI and not compatible with other ones.

There are versions here for the apps or home working on the smaller DPI but you have to search.

But rather then that, use alternatives likes launcher pro for home and for apps, depends what you want.

Also in spare parts, uncheck compatibility mode can help you with some apps

Btw I dont use some third party app change the density since its just a line you have to change in build.prop. So I dont know if it has some special functions making the apps compatible :)

I can't seem to find a cwm on Desire HD forums, but found one at the Hero's.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929628

Can I used this instead?

And on the epic 4G, it says that it will convert the file system to ext4.

So, will the Hero's cwm does the same?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nizno:
Hello,

I recently installed the latest update for the app : NoLed

This new update is stating it should be able to show the battery % when charging up.

Now i cant seem to figure out how to make this work. i checked the box in the settings menu to show the battery level when charging and rebooted my phone.

Still nothing happening when i plug it onto the power.

I hope someone is able to help me out with this.

Greetings,

[Android Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone else has been on the end of a 1-star spamming from a "competing" developer? I say "competing", because my apps are all free!

Here is an example of someone coming along and spamming my rating:

As you can see, the application doesn't get reviewed very often. I think it must have got above the search ranks for a certain developers app, and then boom, 20 1-star ratings.

Anyone else had the same problem? You would have thought google can see it's the same person/dev and act appropriately. Imagine this is more of a problem for people trying to make money from the marketplace!
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
I've had 1 star ratings from my competition (I could tell because they used their real names for their comments) but not 20 ratings all in one go like that.

Btw what app are you using to track ratings?
[Android Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
The app is Andlytics, it's excellent for tracking like this. They just pushed an update with much more detail as well. Would recommend it.

Still can't believe people would spam a free app like that. It's just sad!
[Android Apps and Games] Coedy:
You should name and shame ;)

Also I think you should only be able to rate if you are willing to write a review for it. Would cut down on this a bit..
[Android Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Well. The app above is a caller id application (NameBuzz). When you searched for "caller id", it briefly came in 3rd place, now it comes in 11th after the rating hit. So I'm assuming it's one of the developers above that... but obviously I have no way of being sure, so I can't name and shame!
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Curious, I only see 6 1 stars, and they're all basically saying "it vibrates after answering". So maybe you have a problem with specific phones?

I don't know if it helps, but you might put some text in there about how to contact you and how to contact you and that you can't help people just based on comments alone. I myself didn't realize that a developer can't contact you from a comment until after using the market for a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Thanks for feedback. The 20, 1-star ratings, were left WITHOUT a comment. Hence the reason you can't see who it's from (not that the name means much), and you can't see the ratings. All that happens is the app drops rating level drastically. However, from the developer console, you can see that 20 ratings have been made.

The comment about contact details, I guess I should put that in there, but I think the comments you refer to are actually quite old - since around my January release, the issues have been virtually non-existent. I think the issue here is a basic spamming of my application by someone fairly bored, and extremely sad.

[Android Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
Hey doug,

That's an awesome article! haha. Wasn't expecting that kind of support! It seems like you may have had an impact as well, as my historical rating now looks like this:

Seems as though I've found someone with an non-compatible device though (hence the one star lurking in there), unfortunately, people rarely leave what phone they're using in the comments!

I think the discussion on how to improve the android ratings system is a really interesting one, and something I'm sure Google must have on their TODO list...
[Android Apps and Games] androidworkz:
I totally wish that Google would fix the rating and comments sections... You can't moderate the comments at all and people spam them with all kinds of bull****. I frequently have users (who must be mentally retarded) leave 1 star ratings and ****ty comments about my apps when a simple search would tell them that the problem is their stupid phone/carrier (an example would be streaming shoutcast on a Sprint EVO which has been broken by HTC since early December). Holy **** I could rant on and on about the comments/ratings for hours... it pisses me off every day!~

EDIT: I wanted to mention that I did get Google to remove one comment but they still left the 1 star rating... some dumbass got his credit card stolen and blamed me for it. On many occasions over the last couple of months I have seriously considered just not making anymore apps for Android because the comments/ratings sections are bull****.
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
You could try using alternative markets, but none of them have anywhere near the number of users that the official market does.
[Android Apps and Games] tina333:
I can't write an article to support but i downloaded you're app and gave 5*s plus great review, every little helps! :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Vulpix:
You should see ratson's twitter. I made a comment if he got yet another "1 star, what is root" review for his killer app and he replied that he was already used to such ratings. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Greenfieldan:
On the bright side, at least you have to own the app to rate it. I'm not sure if they've changed this, but in the App Store you could rate apps without actually owning them. A friend of mine basically got spammed by competition and they didn't even have to buy his app.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Honestly, you should avoid reading the comments every day.

I absolutely agree that it's brutal and stressful to read Market comments. So I don't check them too often. If there's a real bug, I'm not going to be able to debug it from a Market comment anyway, I need someone to email me for that. Emails can be brutal too, but generally if someone takes the time to write an email they're at least a bit more considerate than the Market commenter. Also you can actually reply to an email and most times even a pissed off user feels a lot better if they get a reply, even if it's just saying "Sorry, this sounds like a bug, can you give me some more information?".
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Lol, totally familiar with the problem. i get ppl recommending not buying an app because I would charge their credit card four times. Or ppl saying that my keyboard have damaged all other keyboards on their device :D

Here's a tip. Buy your own app with another account. Create a nickname "support" and react on troll comments. Give them tips, ask them to contact you etc. It helps to ease your mind. And I agree with Kevin@teslacoill don't read the comments too often, in the end honest comments will dominate.
[Android Apps and Games] Omnichron:
I give a five to every app I choose and works as promised. those 1-star spammers are losers!:mad:
[Android Apps and Games] tincanman:
i actually went and got your app and gave you a five star rating :)

but yeah, looks like we got some shady dev on android. google needs to fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] dazbradbury:
First off, thanks guys, I'll post progress again in the next few days, but this is nice reminder that the community does have more power than one spiteful developer (or his "marketing" team).

The comments section can be infuriating at times. I would like to be able to write a one-time comment (visible to all), which would be emailed to the person leaving the comment. That way issues could actually be resolved.

With the Android fragmentation issues in the state they are in, I have no idea on which devices I can expect namebuzz to actually work. I have two phones to test with, and the emulator provides little help. Hence, to simply be able to ask what devices are causing issues, would be a huge insight into fixing or notifying users of known issues.

I just feel sorry for the developers relying on the Android marketplace for revenue, they must be hugely affected by this, and I'm glad I'm not in their shoes...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dully79:
First things first, credit and thanks to Brut.all for his awesome tool.

Now then, i couldn't find anything like this so i've created a very simple little reg edit to enable right click de-compiling on apks and right click builds on folders.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks with no problems and it's great for those quick .9 or xml edits.

DISCLAIMER

:

This was made for the Windows XP operating system! .so im not sure if it will work on other Window OS, feel free to try but im not responsible for your computers well being so use at your own risk.

EDIT:After a little research it seems the registry tree is the same for "Vista" and "7" so it should work on them also :)

To use this you must have apktool working correctly.

Only works if your path variable is set to C:\sdk\tools\

If your Path variable is set differently you have 2 options:

1-let me know where and i'll attatch appropiate reg-edit.

2-Easy option, create a folder on your C:\ named "sdk", inside the sdk folder create another folder named "tools,

now copy the contents from your original tools folder into your newly created tools and add the path in enviromental variables. Simple.:)

RECOMMENDED

:

It is highly recommended to backup your registry prior to installing, just follow the simple instructions included in the download zip.

To install

:

Simply extract .reg file from the folder, double click and answer yes.That's it

Now your ready to become a de-compiling/building whirlwind.:D

Useage

-I simply right click an apk, "empty.apk" for example, choose decompile (you recieve a folder with the apk's name), navigate into the res\drawable* folder and drop in my .9.png's.

-Backout of folder, right click "empty" folder and choose build.

-The built images are in are located in "empty\build\apk\res\drawable*".

-The built apk is located in "empty\dist".

I've included an empty.apk for quick .9.png edits, this saves hunting through endless amounts of images for your newly created .9. :)

If the tool fails it could be something simple-

Problem: solution:

-Folder already exits -Delete or rename

-.9.png's not properley edited -Fix using draw 9 tool

-Required framework not installed -Open cmd and type "apktool if FILE LOCATION\framework-res.apk"

Remember this is a simple tool, for more advanced useage and logs use apk-manager

Final Note

:

If Brut.all has any reason for me to remove this please let me know and it will disappear ASAP.

Thank you. ;)

Link and Contents::

ApkTool_reg_edit.zip(contianing reg-edit)

empty.apk

>>>Windows Reg Edit<<<

The above reg edit removes the ability to create folders on Widows 7, use the file below insead!!

>>>Windows 7 Reg Edit<<<

If for some reason you lose the ability to create new folders here is a fix:

>>Here<<

Just extract and double click, it might say "cannot import all data", just ignore it, it will restore your create new folder option.:)

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a specific app.

I upgraded from Darky's Rom 8.0 to 9.1 (wipe). Didn't detected any problems whatsoever.

After applying lagfix Asphalt 5 app disappears after each restart.

Already disabled lagfix but the error still remains.

Can anyone help me on this issue?

Thanks,

Thanks for replying,

Already see that post, but no one explains why this error happens or how to fix it.

They only say to download Apps2sd and transferring all the Apps to the external SD, and that I don't want to do. I only want to fix this particular issue.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquirtingCherry:
I had the same problem with some of the custom roms like the cyanogen 6.1 beta's.

Some roms install apps on ext SD by default and after a reboot the app is missing in the drawer.

Check in app management, it should be still there and if you chose "move to phone" its back.

Hope this helps you out, it worked for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striken:
It's also there.

But first of all I don't know if this is an issue caused by the new darky's rom or some other known android sd card issue.

And second I don't see any problem in posting this issue in the xda forum where also darky have his rom posted.

had the same problem with dark's 9.1 but with root explorer and other system apps. I don't have an external SD Card. Now the rom gone crazy and I had to reflash the V8. If this one goes crazy too, i will probably got o stock or on DOc's rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caosorio:
I had the same problem with DocRom, it was caused by the deodex process that runs when phone is restarted.

It was caused by not having enough space in one partition (I think it was /system). So deodex failed. This only caused problems when deodexing big apps, like asphalt. You cans see the error by doing a logcat while phone is rebooting.

I couldn't find a solution. You might want to post in darky's thread. Maybe there is a way to disable deodex for some apps.

If you find a solution please post it here, I'd like to know how to fix this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striken:
Thanks guys,

I thing that this error it's associated with another, I explain.

I was starting to wipe dalvik cache to see if it solve this issue but is says:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (file exists).

I had this error once and the Asphast 5 App also disappeared after each restart.

Then I flashed with Odin and re-partition a new rom and the error was gone.

Also, the App error was also solved.

Now I have the same two errors, so they are related.

I need to find more information about this issue.

If anyone knows more please share.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crysis21:
I receive that dalvik cache error every time when i'm wipeing the dalvik, but never lost apps before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striken:
I only lose one, "Asphast 5".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striken:
I re-flashed the phone with Odin and JPU stock rom, re-partition.

Formatted my internal and external card, then clean installed a wipe 9.1 Darky version and the Asphalt 5 app remained on the phone.

After I started to install all the apps again with Titanium Backup the Asphalt 5 app disappeared after restart.

I really don't know what's going wrong. I know that with my old Darky 8.0 this didn't happened...

Anyone has ideas?

Hi,

I have Chinese clone with MTK6516 chipset (Smasung i9000 mini). I need to flash a new ROM to this phone to fix some problems. I have all the SW I need, but I'm having problems to connect the phone to my PC.

The only information on flashing the phone I found was on some Chinese forums. If I understood it correctly I need a cable with USB on one end and 3,5mm jack on the other side. I could do such cable by myself, but I need to know the pinout. Do you have any information regarding this?
[General Questions and Answers] frankmehta:
Anyone here??? I want to know the same too.
[General Questions and Answers] javlada:
I asked the supplier and they told me that I need to have a special cable. So I ordered it and it should be on it's way. I expect to receive it next week.
[General Questions and Answers] Razorbacktrack5535:
What is the cable ?
[General Questions and Answers] javlada:
It's a special cable with USB and miniUSB connectors. But there is some electronics attached to the USB connector, it's not just a cable.

If you connect it to a computer, it creates a virtual COM port.
