I am on stock froyo 2.2

Baseband - GAUSB1A131800-EU

Kernel- 2.6.32.9-perf

Build no. - 12821

So if I'm going directly from stock to streakdroid 1.7.0 do I need to flash amms or is my baseband good enough..

Also, is a factory reset highly recommended?

anyway i can backup my settings so i can get it back after installing 1.7.0?

And if i want to get back to stock 2.2, in case of warranty issues, If i go to settings -> system update and download 2.2 will it write over the streakdroid or is there anyother way to get back to the official froyo?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canus05:
You do not need to flash the baseband. Only do a factory reset while in 1.7 if your experiencing any problems.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Once on streakdroid 1.7.0 if you want to go back to stock you have to reflash the stock recovery via fastboot then you can reflash build 309 or 318 to get back to stock. Can't do it via system->update. You have to have a stock recovery installed to get back to a stock build.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] azzledazzle:
i use 'lookout mobile security' there is a free version and a paid version (or 30day free trial) and i think its awesome..... i can quickly go to the website mylookout.com if my phone is lost or stolen. i can switch gps on,,, track it down ,,, do a complete wipe of the phone,,, block the phone and loads more.. all from my pc..

and it doesnt drain my battery either (i keep mine active 24/7) cause i never know when im gunna get jumped by a load of chavs when im walking my doggie lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MakoMillenium:
Thanks ADazzle I installed lookout and it works well but...............

GPS needs to be turned on all the time (cell locate too inaccurate). GPS uses google maps so consumes data all day ? GPS consumes battery all day? or am I missing something
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] azzledazzle:
well i never have gps activated on my phone. but when i activated it thru mylookout.com it turned gps on and tracked it down quite well... there are a few 'gps fixes' out there that could improve the accuracy.... just put it in the search bar...

ive never looked this up as im happy with my gps accuracy :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MakoMillenium:
OK, thanks, maybe I was confusing GPS enabled with turned on.........you are correct......from Lookout FAQ

"Yes! Lookout makes use of the Android phone’s GPS receiver as efficiently as possible. When a locate is requested for an Android device, Lookout can remotely turn on the GPS while the locate is running and then turn it back off again (locates can run for a few minutes to get the best location results). This helps to conserve your phone’s battery life. Lookout only uses the GPS to get your location when you explicitly request it.

It should also be noted that if your GPS is enabled, that only means apps have the ability to use it. It does not mean it is being used continuously or that your location is constantly being tracked"
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
Where in the world are you? For some countries the built in security does just this plus remote lock/wipe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MakoMillenium:
Tehpriest, I'm in South Africa. I think I misunderstood 'Remote Tracker' as being activated only by a sim swap. Probably because of the way the description is written. Having read carefully once again as a result of your post, it appears it's a full function tracker.

I'll follow up and test it. 'Lookout' is working well and has back-up and a virus scanner too.

Tried it and web responds......."for legal reasons this service is not in service in some countries"

Checked with service provider and they confirm RT not enabled in RSA

Hi first verify that md5 sum matches. Then i would suggest you to download the recovery img again.

Use the package from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896597 to flash the recovery img.

This is actually to flash a radio but works for anything. You just have to replace the "radio" with what you want to flash and remember to put the .img file in the same folder. I used this package to flash splash screen.

bravo fm on bluetooth headset

I am looking only to listen to local FM through the FM tuner on the phone. No streaming FM for now. It would appear that the Motorola music player will allow you to control the FM tuner and listen to it with blue tooth head phones or with the phones speaker. I am looking for another player that may accomplish this.

The stock AT&T music app will let you use your fm tuner for free. you have to pay to use the other services the app provides. I believe the head phone plug in doubles as an antenna.

FM Radio minus AT&T

Search the forum for FMRadio_droid2.zip

I can confirm after removing the att radio app on a rooted bravo and only installing the apk it functions flawless. As long as you did not remove the FMRadioService.apk and FMRadioService.odex files from the system/app directory.

you will only the the FMRadio.apk file from the zip

adb push FMRadio.apk /sdcard/FMRadio.apk

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cat /sdcard/FMRadio.apk > /system/app/FMRadio.apk

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

reboot

This should get all bravo owners working radio without AT&T crapware

I added it to 3 Different Bravo's in my household and they all work. You will need headphones plugged in as the app checks and they are also used as the antenna
[Bravo General] marcelarr:
Reinstall

Hi. I am trying to install the FM Radio for Droid 2, but when I rooted my phone I deleted the FMRadioService.odex and FMRadiosService.apk. I saved a copy but do not know how to reinstall them to get this to work... any help would be apreciated. I have copied the apk. and odek file back into system/apps, but nothing happens when I push the radio button. Also, I have set permissions to Owner: read and write. And group and others: read.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
adb remount

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/FMRadioService.apk

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/FMRadioService.odex

adb reboot

You may have to go to wipe the app data in the settings menu.

Or use CM7\9\Miui\BravoX. Anyone of them are much better and faster than stock and has FM Radio. Never used FM Radio myself, big MP3 collection and edited radio songs really annoy the crap out of me.
[Bravo General] marcelarr:
Thanks for the help... but one question. Is there any way of doing this with root explorer... My app freezes on starting up fm, could this be do to permissions? I have them set to owner: read, write execute; group and others: read.

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

skeevy420, thanks for your help but I acheived it changing permissions to read, write for owner. and only read for others. that and the fmradio.apk found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769894

[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Yes, just mount as RW, copy the apks into the proper directory, and make the permissions the same as the other files.

Once you get the hang of using adb, root explorer just seems too time consuming for things like that.:p
[Galaxy Tab General] Morkai Almandragon:
It looks like the ATT tab is the best bet in the US for getting a GTab that also makes calls, is this right?

Also Ive read conflicting reports, do SMS and MMS work with ATT?

Lastly if I were to buy a ATT GTab, how do i get a voice capable sim card? Or can I just use the one that comes with it?
[Galaxy Tab General] w4rmk:
I agree the AT&T Tab in the USA is the best for changing the ROM and making phone calls. I am pretty sure the SIM that comes with the Tab won't work for voice unless you call AT&T and tell them you want to use it in an Android phone with a voice plan.

Your best bet for a SIM card is one that is currently setup with AT&T for a voice/data plan (i.e. an iPhone or a Android phone). If you can put the SIM in an Android phone and makes calls and browse the web it will work exactly the same with the Tab because the Tab is really a 7 inch Android phone.

In my case I am using the SIM that was in my Apple iPhone 3GS and it's working perfect for both voice and data in the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] alex2792:
I think Verizon Tab may get Honeycomb port the fastest due to the fact that Xoom is launching on VZW first.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morkai Almandragon:
Does honeycomb = easy to use as phone?
[Galaxy Tab General] w4rmk:
I'm pretty sure that Samsung's Tab 2 with Honeycomb won't support voice on US carrier's, this is a decision they made irregardless of the O/S. But I'm also sure it won't take long for the dev's here on XDA to release customized ROMs that will allow for voice calling, assuming that some international flavor of Honeycomb supports calling.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morkai Almandragon:
It seemed that Alex may have been implying that honeycomb may support google voice better, which is what I was looking for clairification on. While I am typing this, no one mentioned MMS, has anyone gotten MMS working on the ATT GTab?
[Android Software Development] TomONeill:
Hi XDA Dev's,

I have a program called words. It's a windows based, but ported to linux program which is able to function as an English to Latin and reversed dictionary.

The program has to be ran in the Terminal, cos it is command line interface based.

I thought since it is a program ran in the Terminal you should be able to run it in the Android Terminal, but that's just a theory.

Practically it doesn't work that way.

After untarring the app I entered ./words or su ./words but either won't work.

It gives me the following:

(I took the block from the internet so hope you see a block, not some kind of symbol: )

⛹EL4: not found

4: not found

4: not found

: not found

./words: 5 Syntax error: "(" unexpected

So I think the Android Terminal reads differently cos it doesn't expect that character.

The question is: How can I port a linux CLI program to Android? And is this possible with the App Inventor from Google?
[Android Software Development] PsHegger:
I don't really understand ypur question. If you would like to run a shell script try this

sh script.sh
[Android Software Development] TomONeill:
Hmm sh gives me almost the same error.

But that's the thing, I have no clue what it is, there are a few files which are being used by the program. One of them is words, but it has no extension.
[Android Software Development] JimmyChingala:
Hi, If you can get the source code to the program, then potentially the program can be ported to Android/ARM CPU architecture. The fact that it is a command-line program isnt such an issue - an Android app can be designed to interact with that (eg using Runtime.getRuntime().exec()).

If you just copied over the binary that runs ok under Linux on your PC, and tried to execute it on your Android device, it wont work. Your PC is running x86/x64 based CPU, your Android device is running ARM based CPU (eg you're putting diesel fuel into a car that needs petrol).
