lost.dir is a filesystem maintenance folder, pretty much exclusively for OSX use. It's not a "trashcan" or anything like that. It's not user accessible.

Besides, that kernel doesn't have code in it that says "move everything to lost.dir". It's got a bug in it that essentially runs a remove recursively and forced on the /sdcard/ directory.

I dont appreciate some of your assumptions

Just to automatically assume someone has their phone rooted and or flashed right off the rip is stupid. My fiancée just came to me telling me all her music on her SD Card was gone. Windows says the memory is still occupied however I found all the music files renamed to digit only filenames with no file extensions in the Lost.Dir. I renamed one to Test.Mp3 and opened it. Kabam it played a 3 and a half minute song. So to tell someone that welp your files are gone sorry nothing you can do this is what you get for doing something that they might not even have done in the first place. Her phone is stock no mods, no roms no tweaks. It is a rare occurance that happens in the Android OS. Not a direct result of what someone might have been doing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david_g82:
100% agree with you, i also suddenly lost my pictures from my ext sd card, i founded the lost.dir with the files i just rename with the JPG extension and the pictures come back to life.

For everyone that append the same, don't lost your hope, you DON'T loose your files rename with the correct extension and you'll recover the lost file.

I installed PingChat from market and tried registering it. Once I filled out all the details and clicked next I got an error message: Error registering.

Next I tried it in my Acer Liquid running Froyo. Application registered and logged in.

I put my sim card back in i9000m and it gives error registering with the same registration prompt it doen’t even detect that I registered with my phone number.

Did anyone have this issue? Is there any work around?

Hi,

I just tried to install a custom boot animation thru root explorer, following Master's instructions. When I go to paste the boot animation it says cannot paste read only. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I am not familiar with "Root Explorer", so i'm not 100% sure.

You most likely need to enable the root feature.

if you do not have root access you cannot paste into a -ro file.

You could also use Android Commander (Windows Program). I find that the easiest way to do it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vabeach454:
I am perma rooted (s= off) and root explorer has root privlages, so I dont know what else to say. Master's directions were very clear & easy it just wont allow me to paste.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Try Super Manager or Android Commander.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
in root explorer, at the very top of the page youre pasting in, there should be a button that says set r/w. make sure to press that before attempting to paste, otherwise you will get the error you mentioned.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vabeach454:
Thanks, I did that and it pasted. I ended up with two files in there and had no boot animation at all and when powering up it went directly to the lock screen. Since that I restored my backup to undo the changes I made. I dont know what went wrong, but would like to try again, as I do want a cool boot animation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
have you tried using Android Commander?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11104925&postcount=53

to check the boot animation from the terminal type "adb shell" a "#" should appear then type bootanimation. it should so up on the phone, to get out of it hold control and tap C. If you do it from the terminal emulator on the phone only a battery pull will get you out of the cycle.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
Dude, what Rom are you on? Depending on that, the bootainmation needs to be labeled differently.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acureto:
Depending on the rom, you will also need to rename the boot animation to the same name as the one on the current rom... for instance on my iced glacier rom, the standard boot animation is named TMUS_bootanimation, rename the file to that same file name and copy it to the same folder and select to over ride the current file in the folder
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jamsterzak:
Just wanted to share this method of changing your boot splash image without using hboot,rather a flashable zip.

I am not responsible for damaging your phone.

Lets begin...

What you need/should have before we start..

Using your favorite image editing program take your desired image and make it 480w x800h and save it to your desktop as splash1.bmp(24 bit color bitmap).

NBIMG.exe is used to convert your BMP image into the proper format

-Windows

-Linux

-[Refrence]

(7zip or Winzip)

This zip is required for the last steps

-splash1.zip

1.Make sure desired splash1.bmp is on desktop

2.Extract nbimg.exe to desktop

3.HOLD SHIFT, right click on desktop and open command prompt

4.Type nbimg.exe,this will give you the options

5.At the top of the command window you will see the path needed to convert

6.Simply just add splash1.bmp to that path(nbimg -F splash1.bmp)

7.Once executed you should see splash1.bmp.nb on your desktop

8.Rename file to splash1.nb0 (thats a zero)

9.Open the splash1.zip/splash.zip and replace the splash1.nb0 file with yours

10.Confirm file was replaced, sign zip if you want (Right click, Sign file)

Now that we have our zip finished,place on root of SD card

Boot into recovery and flash zip

Follow onscreen instructions

Reboot phone as directed

It will start installing,let it do its thing

Once finished you should be back in recovery

Reboot and enjoy your new splash:)

[*]THANKS

[Wildfire General] Marc.:
Which ROM has:

HTC Sense

Support for market.android.com ( Please try before saying )

Transperant lockscreen

Transperant notifications area

Live Wallpaper in Sense?

I'm now on Wildpuzzle, but market.android.com doesn't work for me.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Just on the basis of that one point, your only choice as of now would be WildPuzzle. Anyhow, as I replied earlier, market worked perfectly for me on WP, so, try installing again after wiping everything. (I recommend 0.7 over 0.8)
[Wildfire General] Marc.:
I mean market.android.com, the market on my device does work good. Just try yourself

1. go to market.android.com

2. login and choose a app

3. click on install and OK

4. wait till it installs on your mobile

Step 4 doesn't work for me.
[Wildfire General] daddyspud:
U could try my Rom has all u asked 4 exsept transparent lock screen n notifications but I'm working on it sorted the lockscreen working on the notification area
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
I have installed (and uninstalled) hundeeds of apps on my Wildfire, because I like to experiment with them, and, I use the Android Market from the wildfire itself to do it.

As I said, I dont know if a recent update has broken the market or not, but, when I was using Wildpuzzle before CM7 came out, Market worked 101% for me, right down from downloading, installing, and updating apps.

For your issue, you can PM melvinchng and ask him. Just read a post by him somewhere stating he has switched back to WP from CM7.

My suggestions:

* As I said before, try reinstalling WP again

* Try market remover from the patched market thread, and, try installing it again, then try it.

* Switch to another ROM of your choice, but I doubt there is any that will fulfill all your needs as stated by you.
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
I think you're a little behind on news and thats why you don't get his question - the market now has a web-based interface - here. You can install apps from there to the phone.

Make sure you're signed in on the market first. (ignore the rest of this post if you are) I had the same problem. Click sign in on the top right. Then it will allow you to install apps. (a dialog will popup asking you to choose your device, it will not allow you to choose wildfire for non-qvga apps unfortunately)

Edit: Oh and online market should work regardless of what ROM you're using. It even detected non-qvga apps (eg. Engadget) I had installed using AppBrain on Sense and then restored using TitaniumBackup on CM7.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Damn I was mixing up com.android.market (The process) and market.android.com (the WEB market for PC's).

Well, Ok, now I have the difference.

Anyhow, I havent tested this on WP. So I cant help you in it.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
Android AOSP's lock screen is transparent. i believe there are applications out there that will allow one to change the lock screen image even if on AOSP style ROMS.

might want to look into this http://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] caseycreeper:
Good to know! I was just hoping for something like the nexus one/g2 etc lockscreen, just like that one in that thread but not see through lol. Is there anyway to pull the lock screen from cm6 or cm7 and make it a flashable zip to use on my phone if that makes sense? ha sorry for any confusion, like on my vibrant I could change the lockscreen to all these different ones but Im having touble finding any options with MT4G
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
I am not familiar with scripting so i do not know if that is possible. I know the link i posted ealier is simple way to get a AOSP lock screen. if that is what you are wanting. and it contains a flash-able Sense Lock screen.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] option94:
That method is weird. You can see the icon instead of just you're wallpaper. Someone could probably pull the apk apart and set a wallpaper in it, but im not sure.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] RavenWulf:
"Pulling" the Lockscreen.apk out of CM6/CM7 would be the same as deleting the HTCLockscreen.apk on a Sense-based ROM. the CM6/7 Lockscreen is a version of the AOSP Lockscreen, deleting HTCLockscreen.apk forces the OS to revert to the AOSP Lockscreen.

Option 94, you talking about the screen caps of Widget Locker? id ya are your not seeing them through the lockscreen, they are on the lock screen.
[Nexus S General] dudeimgeorge:
just sold my ipad 32gb for a clean $500, perfect timing since we are going to be saturated with android tablets/ipad2.

how many of you interested in this massively powered xoom tablet?

im instantly getting it..well...that is is 3g/4g is offered and wifi. more specifically if its pay as you go on the 3g/4g, but i really dont care as long as i have wifi.

i just love how great the nexus s (or any upscale android phone) syncs with the xoom. its terrific

your thoughts?
[Nexus S General] Androyed:
WORLD DOMINATION?? NOOO!!

I am interested in Honeycomb, but not so much in tablets. So I guess I just have to wait untill Honecomb comes to the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
It depends on the price. I'm thinking it's going to be 600+ easily.

That said, I'm still not that impressed with Honeycomb, and I don't want to be an early adopter. Google has shown me time and time again, they're concerned first with releasing as fast as they can, and then fixing it later. I want to know more developers are on board before I invest that kind of cash.

I'm pretty set on the iPad 2, unless they don't add any new exciting stuff. I enjoy the "boring" OS and ever since I've switched from iPhone to Nexus S, I still have an iOS craving which will be satisfied with an iPad. I want netflix on my tablet too.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I personally would love to have a tablet. I can't financially justify it, nor do I have a need for a computer that isn't satisfied by my phone of or my laptop (Though I could use a desktop computer), but as a gadget whore I'm drawn to the idea of a new and shiny gadget.

That said, the Android fanboy in my loves the Xoom. I thought the honeycomb demo yesterday was awesome and I want so badly to own one but you make a great point meetagrawal; even now I'm watching Netflix. Once Football season is over, I'm even considering dropping my cable and living off of Netflix so if that were the case, having more access to my queue would be great, especially on the go. In a few months I'll be moving and I'll be the one driving for the 24+ hours its going to take us to get to Arizona since my wife has night-blindness and gets panic attacks when driving in adverse conditions. It would be awesome to be able to hear some good movies or television shows during that trek.
[Nexus S General] jivemaster:
I've already said this in other threads, but I am getting a xoom as soon as they are available (in the uk anyway). I always like to get android devices where the os was made for it first (assuming google controls the updates).

While you get issues (like our nexus s) it's great having the flagship android device as far as the newest os is concerned, because the great far outweighs the bad in terms of getting all the new os features. I think the nexus s with a xoom will make a great companion device. Looking forward to it all immensely.

+1 to world domination!
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
If I had the money (currently finding a job), I would wait to see which device gets rooted first. I know the Galaxy Tab has dev support and right now, I only know of LG's G-Slate and Motorola's Xoom are the only good tablets coming out. The Dell Streak 7 is something I wouldn't waste my money on.

I already have a macbook pro that does the job for me and really have no need for a tablet right now unless I can program on it which is basically impossible from the looks of it; unless remote desktop apps are smooth as butter, then it might change my mind.

Although, I gotta say. Swiftkey did a pretty good job on making a tablet keyboard. Makes much more sense then having one big fat keyboard.
[Nexus S General] Zardos66:
I honestly can't find any reason to own a tablet right now.

If I had a job that would benefit from it maybe. But selling cell phones is lol.
[Nexus S General] ryan562:
I'm gonna be buying an Android tablet for sure but will wait until Toshiba, Sony, Asus also release their versions. I don't wanna be locked down by carrier contracts so I hope to see wifi versions of the Xoom and the G Slate.

[Vibrant General] JohnH1326:
I have tried several of the Team Whiskey roms (Nero 2,3, & 5; currently on Bionix-V) as well as the official 2.2 rom and had the same problem in all of them - the WiFi Calling app was draining my battery at a rate of roughly 7%/hour. Then I noticed when I brought the phone to my mom's house, it was only losing about 2%/hour. The difference between our wireless networks is that her's is 802.11g only, where as mine supports 802.11n. So I changed the settings on my router to G-only, and now the battery is only losing 2%/hour at my house as well! I don't know why, but it seems the WiFi Calling app only severely drains the phone's battery on 802.11n networks!

Of course, in the absence of a true fix for this issue, I would prefer to force the phone to use G-only rather than change my entire network, but I have not been able to figure out how to do that. Fortunately, my router supports an additional guest network. Setting the guest network's encryption to WEP supports G-only, while my remaining clients can still connect to the main WPA network with true N speeds.

I would love to hear from other people to determine if an 802.11n network is truly the source of the WiFi Calling app battery drain issue. If it is, maybe a clever developer out there can determine how to fix it!

[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Over on Eugene373 site, in the macnut rom for the vibrant, is a zip to remove WiFi calling, and it helps. It removes the associated lib files from the phone, and negates the proper lines in the build.prop by replacing it with a modded one. I integrate this fix into my own build, and it helps battery a whole lot. Granted, if you use WiFi calling, then this is void as it will remove it.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant General] JohnH1326:
Hmm... I wonder if the battery drain is related to just being connected to an 802.11n network. Do you have your wifi on, and, if so, are you connected to an N network? Does turning the wifi off (or connecting to a G network) significantly reduce the battery drain?
[Vibrant General] msnuser111:
its possible,I didnt have an N network to test on when I had my vibrant,but with my fascinate it definitely dies faster when connected to N vs being connected to G.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Deleted member 2842059:
Old news to most but I had to drop a post to give recognition. The HTC flashlight app saved my bacon last night, in the aftermath of the snow and ice storms that rolled through Ohio. It uses the LED instead of the screen. It gives various brightness levels. It is glorious and I thank you.

Notes for improvement: Ditch the cute flashlight icon and give me a variable brightness setting that uses as many brightness levels as you can pack into it. Allow dual or single LED use as desired or needed and allow infinite brightness within each LED.

It's not a flashlight app if it uses the damn screen and can't change brightness!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Nice to hear one actually uses the flash. LG doesn't offer anything like that. Well they've got a flashlight app, but it's just the screen. I had to use it last night working on our home PC. Worked ok, but not nearly as good as a camera flash one.

Agreed. Amongst all the hate HTC get, they sure know how to make a damn good Flashlight App. Been a life saver a few times for me too!

yeah, it's the exact same flashing light HTC Sense ROMs use (WinMo and Android), I've been using this flashlight app ever since the HD2 came out, and it works flawlessly in WP7 just as it does in other operating systems. I even have it set as a tile for easy access when I need it!

Make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into your bootloader by holding volume down while powering your phone on and it will find it automagically. It will take a few minutes to load it up and then it will ask you if you want to run it. Choose yes and voila.
