I use Better Keyboard for the past year.. never found anything better.

(Oil Slick theme applied)
[Desire General] dgattenb:
Hi all ,

Currently all my apps are backed up on App brain , I can sync , install etc...

However there is now the new web based market place https://market.android.com

So which is better ?

App brain or the new market place ??:rolleyes:

NOTE: I back up on app brain , install via market place (as it's faster )
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I noticed that none of the apps I have installed on my SD card are showing up on market.android.com - strange that.... appbrain has no problems identifying my apps from SD, neither does the phone market place.
[Desire General] Meaple:
I don't use App Brain so no idea. I will try out the new market thing and see if it works well. To be honest it doesn't bother me but I am sure at some point this week that I will be installing a new rom on my phone.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Google Market knows what apps I have installed, which is good. Meant to also let you know there are updates as well

Quite like it!
[Desire General] dgattenb:
It cant see half the apps on my phone .. eg the ones NOT installed via the market place ... ( just apk's ) .. also theer is no sync ... so it does not " back up" your apps , as app brain does.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
that's true - but the google phone market doesnt know which apk's from unknown sources either... i would expect it to pick up the ones that are installed on SD though from the market.
[Desire General] Richy Freeway:
Can't get market.android.com to recognise my phone from ANY of the three email addresses I use on my phone.

Useless.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Obviously tried the main Gmail one you originally set the phone up with correct?
[Desire General] Richy Freeway:
Yup, and the two google apps accounts I also run. All say they can't find a phone associated with the address.

Upgraded to the new market a couple of hours ago, didn't make any difference.
[Desire General] madd0g:
This android web market is a comedy. They should rather let appbrain to keep its push to install service, the site works perfectly for over half a year now.
[Desire General] st0kes:
Same problem here.

I found some things to try on google's forums but nothing worked (different browsers, different gmail accounts, etc)

Is this because we're using custom roms? I am using CM7 ...
[Desire General] doctormetal:
Custom ROM should not matter as the market is linked to the IMEI number of the phone. I have CM7 running on my Desire and the market site shows it without trouble.
[Desire General] dgattenb:
Just looked today , and there seams to be more on there ... looking at app brain , however its still missing some apps... which is odd as one of them is Adobe flash !!

There are other "system" apps on the list ...

It's still too new , so will wait for a while .. installing apps is faster than app brain ...

Can u help me to connect my SGS to pc internet connection using USB? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machatta:
AFAIK you cant. But if you have WIndows 7 and wifi on our PC you can use a program like Connectify to allow the phone to connect via WIFI.

Use that in work and works fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinkyy:
Are you using stock ROM or?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machatta:
Oops. For clarity, Connectify runs on the PC and turns in into a WIFI hotspot that any device can connect to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinkyy:
I know that, what I am asking is what ROM do you have on your SGS, because I on Darky 9.0 can't connect using Connectify?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machatta:
Sorry. Misunderstood. Doc's kitchen with speedmod.

Dont understand why it would not connect with another ROM if WIFI is working generally :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinkyy:
Did you have to do anything manually say static IP or did you just input WPA2 key and that's it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machatta:
TBH after setting it up on my PC my phone just found it, entered the key and that was that.

There is another program that I tried called Virtual Router but I didnt like it as much as connectify.

Alernatively, you can try setting it up in Windows

Just Download & install Kies first.

Then Connect your SGS to PC then on ur sgs screen MTN usb screen appears.

Then open your Kies app, there you can see your phone connected.

On the below of the screen you c Tethering icon, click on that, where you need to configure your Country & Service provider then connect .. thats it your now connected to internet via USB.

Not about money or extra device to enlarge operation...

some one please help...thanks..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machatta:
Revisiting this as after I posted had problems that my SGS wouldnt connect. Fiddled around a bit and could not fix it. On buying a cheapo Archos 70 tablet tried to connect with the same errors and looking through the Windows logs came across some errors. Turns out, for me anyway, that it's a known Internet Connection Sharing problem in WIndows, not the android devices. Easy fix

Does anyone know what the #! first line of a shell script is interpreted by?

I've been playing around with gingerbread, and it does not seem to be interpreting the "#!/system/bin/sh" line correctly. All the google searching I could manage just told me that it's a linux kernel thing, but it works in every build before gingerbread.

The problem is that e.g.

/system/bin/sh /system/bin/odex.sh

does work, but

/system/bin/odex.sh

does not work, even though the first line is #!/system/bin/sh

I'm not sure if this would be an Android specific problem or a general linux problem, but I thought I'd put it up here in case any of you clever people have seen this before or know what's going on :)

Also, my default shell in my passwd file is sh, but I don't know if this is changed somewhere else on boot.

EDIT: the reason for this being a problem is that there is some shell script with an if statement in it that is running continuously in the background, so I get loads of errors on the "Fn +left" screen, and I'm pretty sure its not helping my speed or battery life!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhenson22:
Hi all,

In the last few days I have noticed a strange issue with my DHD in that all my notification sounds have stopped. That includes my SMS, Gmail and Talk notifications. All settings are as they were with nothing changed. My incoming call ringtone plays fine.

I am not sure if this is related, but when I first got my HD I noticed that the keypad tones in the dialler and the screen locking sound were very very quiet compared to other sounds on my phone. Strangely enough, these are both very loud now!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ADB100:
I am using OsKitchen to build a ROM for a Kaiser. I have dumped the final WM 6.1 ROM and overwritten the nk.exe with the Native 6.5 one as well as overwritten the OEMDrivers with the 3.57 ones also available. I have rebuilt the ROM using a few different versions of WM 6.5 and its all working. However I want to clean up the Operator PKG folder and split it into more friendly EXT Packages like you get when dumping the Topaz 6.5 ROM. The dump of the 3.57Kaiser ROM seems less sophisticated.

I also want to get Manila installed like lots of the cooked ROMs available on here. Does anyone have a pre-built EXT Packages folder I can use?

Thanks

Andy
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ADB100:
OK - solved this myself. Downloaded the latest HTC Mega ROM and spent a couple of hours 'trial-and-error' building a ROM. Replaced the OEM_Lang_0409 & OEMApps folders with the MEGA ones and deleted drivers/files/Registry entries in the Kaiser OEMDrivers folder that had overlapping ones in the MEGA's EXT Packages folder.

I have to say this took way less time than I was expecting and the resulting ROM is excellent and quick :o)

Nice one steve very good tutorial
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Thanks very much :-) appreciated. Not bad considering all this was written from my handset. I kind of took over the .52 baseband thread so I though I should make my own for this as they are different completely.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
All sounds about right....I can confirm all this works as it should having messed about and flashed just before steve got the tutorial together.

The only thing that has to be stressed:

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BETA 4 ON YOUR SD CARD BEFORE YOU DO IT AND DONT LET IT BOOT AFTER FLASHING THE NEW BASEBAND.

It does sound much harder than it is.

hi, just a question: after the restore via xrec, in the infos of the phone now shows the version is still beta3.. ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
I dont think Z changed it, you can change your build prop to beta4 ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony84:
no I don't think so, just look at the first post of Z's thread and in the info the version name is different..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Mine shows as beta 4. I wonder if this has something different in the build.prop with x10I and x10a. Mine is an I. Like mentioned you can change your build.prop if it means that much to you

Sent from my x10i GreenGlow 2.2
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony84:
mine it's a I too. no, it means anything for me the "beta4", it's just that I think that I'm still in beta 3 now after the data restore. also now it's nearby 15 minutes after the restore and I still haven't the phone signal.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I did advance data restore too and it didn't change mine and I wouldn't of thought that restoring data changes your build.prop which is where the information about your build number etc is stored.

Try manually rebootingyour phone if its still not received signal, its supposed to neat enough straight away after you first turn it on and loads. Let me know how you get on

Sent from my x10i GreenGlow 2.2
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony84:
the thing its' that before restoring, the signal on the phone was working, the version of the rom was right. I try, but if it doesn't work I think I'm gonna reinstalling from the begin of your procedure, then restoring with titanium
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Try just turning it off and on first see if that helps. I made a spelling mistake in my last post, I meant to say reboot your phone not root.

If that doesn't work you are probably best to go to the beginning of my instructions, they do work honestly just take your time reading and make sure you understand everything. Iv tried to be as clear as possible including as much info as I can

There is a thread somewhere kicking around with differenent firmwares which can be flashed with the flashtool. As long as your on official sony firmware your warrenty should be ok, just when you send it in for repair etc make sure its not rooted.

last question, i swear!

ok so i've create my bundle with the AMSS.sin. I then clicked "Flash" and selected the firmware that i just bundled. Under firmware content, there are two items: loader.sin and amss.sin.

a) is the loader.sin file supposed to be there?

b) does the amss.sin have to be highlighted under "Firmware content" before i press ok?

I reason i am confused is that, last time i tried this, my phone wouldnt boot back up, and i think it might be because i had the loader.sin highlighted. i couldnt restore, repair, or anything afterwards

Thanks for your help

Doesn't matter, just flash as the loader is meant to be there. Just highlight the amss.sin file. Make sure you select the correct version 'x10' before flashing. :)

Try reinstalling the rom, wipe and delete everything you can with xrecovery and start again. If after you've done that and turn the phone back on and under settings/ about phone it says unknown under baseband you need to flash the basdband again

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
If I remember it says for x10a so by all means try it but back up with xrecovery first and I wouldn't be supprised if it doesn't work because x10a uses different frequencies for 3g and wireless communications than x10i. The rom may boot but you probably wont be able to use your phone or internet or GPS or wifi....
