anyone tried it on her/his X1?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Zisj:
Confirm tool working

Just did a flash with the tool.

It's identical to Customruu once you've chosen the mode you want to work in.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Zisj:
Further test

Just did a task 29 as well.

Apears to be built in. Nice.

Hey guy i am planning to get a new phone...while i found lg optimus good and within my budget..is there any other phone as cheap as it and running android 2.2
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
No, when I was looking for a phone just a few weeks ago, the LG Optimus was the only one in its price range that had decent hardware and Froyo (2.2). Now we have a custom recovery and a selection of good quality ROMs so you won't be sorry.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sippolo:
I agree with neilmb.

Also dont forget the fact that LG will surely provide Android 2.3 upgrade in the near future for LG O1, and that's another reason you could get it.

There are methods to root and unlock all its potential (HW Accelerator + Jit etc.) in a way that can always be reversed for guarantee matter, and you'll end up having almost a medium-high device at you hand by spending money for a low budget one.

Trust me, it's really promising :)

I managed to get it at 787 Mhz with HW Acc + Jit enabled + Touchscreen bug fix, and it's in truth another device...so far with this asset I've never experienced slow games/apps and the native UI (I've not flashed a Modded ROM still, just the kernel for setCPU App to work, plus custom recovery and root) is working smoothly now.

Approved I'd say ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajjan:
thanks for your suggestions ....i got the phone and its currently running at 806 mhz...lol..

anyone have a more complete "walk through"?

Also, i am a little confused. some people are saying to put "roms" onto the phone. are the roms like the OS? how do i wipe the phone and put a new rom on?

i am looking to get 2.3 onto my phone and get free wifi hotspot tethering.

i am running windows 7 ult. 64.

any help would be great. sorry for the noob questions :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] DroidFreek:
Try searching it on YouTube you will probably find a video there or check the evo 4g forum
[General Questions and Answers] DroidFreek:
Ok the rom is basically the os and in order to put a different one on you must be rooted first it, after rooting your device you head into recovery and wipe then flash. Maybe be easier to root from sd card method if the pc method does not work for you look for a video on youtube.

I'm using the Serendipity ROM and it has been awesome for me. My only complaint is the reskinning of the GMail application. Is there a way I can revert this back to the stock look?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robse86:
Hi Guys,

as the topic says, its about my DUAL SIM adapter! I just got my NS today, root etc. worked fine. I already read before that the stock 2.3 doesnt have a SimToolkit, so I installed Modaco's ROM, which from the info has a working STK.

Anyway, after setting everything up I wanted to use my adapter but the phone is telling me all the time there is NO SIMCARD, I used this adapter with my Galaxy S, and just tested it with an old HTC and Nokia, both work fine!?

So what do you guys think, is it hardware related?? I hope not! Its a damn 65 euro G-Telware adapter which worked fine with other phones and now this ... damn.

If its not, then is there a software solution? Or someone of you has the same issue???

Hope you can help me

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zervic:
So, now that gingerbread has been released and the fact that it was "geared towards gaming", have we even seen ANY games released specifically for it? I've tried googling, looking in market, etc, etc, etc. but anything I search on google returns nothing but news about the release of gingerbread and anything i search on market returns...nothing.

I'm deployed overseas right now and some new games would be pretty awesome to tinker around with.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] CallMeAria:
I haven't noticed any new for gb games, but I have noticed that a few games that I couldn't play on my aria/froyo due to fc issues now run flawlessly on cm7.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zervic:
such as? i know air control is one of those...but maybe not one of your list.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] CallMeAria:
The full version of robo defense would constantly fc on me. I'm also now able to use some console emulators I wasn't able to before.

are you able to play "gun bros" i cant firgure out why its not playin ..i think its time for a new phone ;)
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Darius_bd:

Aria is not the best gaming platform as many of the good games uses ARMv7 instructions while our beloved Aria has just a ARMv6 cpu :/
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] lilhaiti:
One thing I have noticed is that I cannot run Need For Speed Shift on CM7. I could run it with no problems on CM6 but it shows the splash screen and then shuts down. I tried reinstalling it several time, and nothing. Has anyone else tried any graphics intensive games on CM7? NFS is the only one I have.

Every other game runs just fine. Robo Defense Full ran just fine on CM6 and just as good on CM7 for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
Hi there,

I'm working on my LeoParts and integrated ROM Updater in my ROM.

Now I want my LeoParts to launch ROM Updater on a PreferenceScreen.

I tried two things:

1. With the XML

<PreferenceScreen
android:key="rom_update"
android:title="@string/updates_title"
android:summary="@string/updates_summary">
<intent android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN"
android:targetPackage="org.elegosproject.romupdater"
android:targetClass="org.elegosproject.romupdater.VersionsList"/>
</PreferenceScreen>

2. With the Java code

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setClassName("org.elegosproject.romupdater", "org.elegosproject.romupdater.VersionsList");
startActivity(intent);

3. From the shell

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.elegosproject.romupdater/.VersionsList

This last one works, but I would like something less hacky...

Here is the error I get from a logcat:

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cmp=org.elegosproject.romupdater/.VersionsList } from ProcessRecord{407e1ed8 775:com.leonnib4.leo_parts/10044} (pid=775, uid=10044) requires null

I know this as something to do with permissions, most likely in the AndroidManifest.xml, but I can't get it to work.

Please help me out :)

Thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
I got arround by doing:

Intent intent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("org.elegosproject.romupdater");
if (intent != null) {
toast.show();
String commands[] = {
"am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.elegosproject.romupdater/.VersionsList"
};
// Execute in a shell
} else {
// Toast notif "ROM Updater is missing"
}

But that is still hacky and I'm still looking for a better way to do this...

Thx

Hello all :) I have 1 problem. i need get skype for my htc mega t3333, but i not cant found...:(

srry for my english.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Mr. Clown:
There you go mate,

http://www.4shared.com/file/GTOyZ3N1/SkypeMobile.html
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Saavan15:
Unfortunately,Viesulas Skype for Windows phones are no longer available for download from Skype.

Skype has chosen to withdraw Skype for Windows phones because they want to offer their new customers an improved mobile experience – much like the version that has proved so popular on the iPhone, and which is now available on Symbian phones.

Skype's aim is providing a rich user experience that allows users to enjoy free Skype-to-Skype and low cost calls as easily on the move as users do with thier desktop.

Skype felt that Skype for Windows phones were not offering the best possible Skype experience.

Therefore skype will not function on any wm operating system.

​

PS Viesulas even if you install the skype.cab on your touch2 wm6.5 skype will still not fuction, as they have discontinued to offer thier service on the wm6.5 os.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Mr. Clown:
Dude I'm a heavy skype user. Skype it's working on my touch2, TYTN II, Excalibur and HD2 all of them runnning WM 6.5;) I can guarantee that. Service is still good and running normally for WM platform, the only thing not available is the cab download anymore on the skype website.

[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Saavan15:

I see alot of Roms for Euro Tabs but can't seem to find anything for the CDMA NA Tablets. I know that they will flash but you lose all 3G capabilities. Does anyone know of a Rom that would work?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junglizste:
The GPS now works flawlessly on all the new ROMs. The compass, however, doesn't point north. I'm pretty sure this is it's only intended purpose. Apps that depend on it don't work properly. Goggle skymaps is a jumpy mess.

Can the compass be fixed? Has the fix just not been implemented? Because for the GPS to work as good as it does now, you'd think it would need compass input.

thoughts?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N747KA:
Have you tried calibrating the compass? I sometimes have trouble with it as well, but that usually does it. Search for "Best Compass Calibration Method" on YouTube - the first video shows the method I use.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
You are supposed to wave the compass in a figure 8 pattern to callibrate it. My friends thought I looked stupid waving my phone in the middle of Starbucks. :p

Hey folks! I just wanted to point everyone to my free, open-source app, GMarks.

Features

Sync your browser bookmarks with a GMarks label

Live folders for any label

Integrated global search

Create GMarks quickly from the browser's "share" menu

Free and open-source!

Check out some screenshots.

GMarks is available on the Android Market, and also as an APK download from the project website. Please try it out, and leave feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] alex_herrero:
Excellent, but I will wait until the 2-step authentication, because I can't log in with out it.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] tomstrummer:
Thanks for letting me know Alex -- I've had a couple people mention it now so now that I know how popular this feature is I'll work more quickly to get it released! Here's the issue page so you can track the progress:

http://code.google.com/p/gmarks-android/issues/detail?id=31

I'll probably release a test build too so users like you can test it before it's published to the Market. Thanks again for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] alex_herrero:
Sure, Tom, go ahead and drop a test build here as soon as you can, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jjwa:
I love this type of apps :). Open source and free even tough is works better than many paid-for apps!

I had the issuse with 2-step verification too. But if you check the above-mentioned link about the issue, you'll see someone mentioned a workaround you can use until it has been fixed in the program itself.

Good to see the issue being responded to so quickly btw :).

But what I came here for:

I was happy to read about interaction with my phone's browser, except it doesn't work for me. I enabled it in the settings, I pointed it towards a label, I synced it, but no bookmarks turn up in my phone's browser (I am using the Google Android browser), and no new bookmarks are added to the existing Google Bookmarks label either.

Using:

- Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (running Android 2.2.1)

- GMarks 0.6.3

Logging in succeeded (using the above workaround), I get to see the labels and bookmarks in the app, it's only the interaction with the browser's bookmarks that does not seem to work for me.

Let me know if there is more information you need.

Edit:

I'm Dutch, and willing to help when any additional Dutch translation is needed.
[Android Apps and Games] alex_herrero:
Oh, I see. Maybe enable application specific password would also be great.
[Android Apps and Games] tomstrummer:
Two-factor auth support

Hey folks: I've enabled two-factor auth support in the latest build here:

http://code.google.com/p/gmarks-and...android-0.6.4-SNAPSHOT-2-aligned.apk&can=2&q=

try it out and let me know if you encounter any problems!
[Android Apps and Games] jjwa:
After replacing the older version with this updated one, I saw I was stilled logged in (I used the workaround). I stopped the app and removed it's data (via the Settings->Manage Applications thing), and started it again to log in properly using the 2-step verification. The login worked as expected*. But my bookmarks are not syncing. The message tells me it's syncing, a message tells me it has finished syncing after only a second or two (back when it actually did sync, the first full sync took much longer than that), but no bookmarks show up in GMarks.

On a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (running Android 2.2.1).

Let me know if you need any further information.

*Except for a minor detail:

When I enter the username and password for my account, I press Sign in, and I arrive at the Verify page, as expected. Now I press my Home button to go to Google's app that provides the verify code. When getting back to GMarks, it's back at the login screen, with empty username and password fields. So I have to repeat the first step of the two-step verification. Not very critical, but a little bit annoying, so it would be nice if there's an easy fix for this :).
[Android Apps and Games] tomstrummer:
Yeah that's tricky. I'll have to see if I can detect that a password has already been typed, and attempt to restore that verification code page if it's already been loaded.

You might be able to switch between apps without the GMarks login page reloading by using the "Hold home button" to switch between apps without going to the launcher in between.

Either way, this is an issue that clearly I need to keep working on. Thanks again for your patience and feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] jjwa:
Any response to my other issues I wrote about in the above posts?

1) Nothing syncing between GMarks and my browser. (Post #5)

2) Newer version: nothing syncing. At all. (Post #8)
[Android Apps and Games] tomstrummer:
New APK

Hi jjwa,

Thanks for working with me to resolve this. I've attached another APK for you to try. After installing, go to Application Management-> GMarks -> Clear Data and give it another try.

If that doesn't work, do you have the SDK tools installed? I can't reproduce this problem so I'd have to rely on getting debug information from you via the "adb logcat" tool.

I apologize for the trouble, and appreciate you're helping me make GMarks better!

Thanks again. Let me know how the new APK goes or if you need instructions on how to use logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] jjwa:
The APK did not produce a different result compared to the previous one as far as I could see.

I currently don't have a working USB cable, so I tried out apps for the adb logcat thing. I have used adb before, but I have no experience logcat, so if you need it done with differently settings (I was now logging at the 'Error' filter level btw). I've sent a log to your gmail adress instead of posting it here, because I wasn't sure there was no information in there I would not want to have up in public...

For recording the logs, I repeated the Clear Data steps, started the log apps, logged in on GMarks, let it attempt it's sync, and then told the apps to email their logs.

Let me know if this is sufficient or if you need me to do it differently or do something else.

P.S. Random curiosity: the log is getting spammed massively with 'WPA supplicant' messages. I know that's related to my WiFi. Any idea why it's going so crazy? Should it? Is it just the security protocal chitchat?
[Android Apps and Games] alex_herrero:
Which passwords should I insert? Can I insert the Application specific one? I'm not comfortable inserting my password just to use the credentials, now that we have specific passwords...
[Android Apps and Games] tomstrummer:
Authentication

Hi Alex,

Unfortunately you have to use your own, normal password (followed by a verification code if you've enabled two-factor auth.) One-time use passwords unfortunately don't work here - they only work for AuthSub enabled services and the Bookmarks service (as far as I know) doesn't support AuthSub. I tried to use a one-time password myself and the login page rejects it and says as much.

The reason GMarks for Android directs the user to the Google login webpage is exactly because I expect users would (or *should*) be wary of inputting their username and password directly into an Android app. (Lots of apps still seem to do this anyway...) Because you are logging in through the webpage, the GMarks app never sees your username or password.

If it makes you feel any better, if you have two-factor auth enabled, any app that _did_ capture your username and password wouldn't be able to log in without the additional verification code. And the verification codes only work once so that code can't be 'stolen' and used to log into your account from somewhere else.

Sorry! I think this is the best anyone can do until Google releases a real Bookmarks API...
[Android Apps and Games] tomstrummer:
Two-factor auth support

Hi folks -- here's a new 0.6.4 build with two-factor auth support.

Entering in the verification code is still a bit of a pain in the ass, but I think it's the best that can be done. Once you enter your username & password in GMarks you get directed to the verification page, at which point you have to switch to the Google Authenticator app.

You can do this quickly if you open the Authenticator app first and then long-press the home button to switch between the two activities. You can also copy the verification code from the Authenticator app by long-pressing on the number. Then you can paste it into the browser textbox in GMarks.

This build also includes the ability to fully re-sync with the server, which will resolve any sync problems and remove stale bookmarks that might have been left on your device if you've deleted bookmarks via the web interface. It's the last item when you go to Menu->Settings. Since this re-downloads *all* of your bookmarks it should be something that is not done often, hence the reason why it's a bit 'hidden away.'
[Android Apps and Games] alex_herrero:
Tom,

thanks for your detailed and excellent answer. I'll try this latest build and come back with results.

[Edited] Seems to be working very well for me. The only comment would be the same as previously stated: when validating the code, you need to leave the application to go to Google authenticator, when you come back, you need to re-enter user and password...

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] tomstrummer:
Authenticator/ two-factor support

Alex! You'll be happy to hear I realized there's a much more elegant way to make this work -- I can launch the Authenticator activity straight from GMarks (if you have it installed.) So you can copy the code and just hit 'back' to get back to enter it into the verification page.

Try out the attached build. I think it's a big improvement over the prior solution.
