Hi, I would like to create a list of the files not essentialy needed by a rom.

i.e. could I uninstall Blur*.apk files in /system/app folder if i don't use motoblur?

I use adlxmod rom and i would like to clean some system apps like motoblur ones.

could you help me to create a list of not essentiall apk's?

thanks. please collaborate

[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
If they don't automatically run in background, there is no need to delete them. Defy's rom is spacious.

And instead of delete/uninstall, you can just rename the .apk so you can easily get them back when necessary.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bossgizmo/new-bluetooth-game-gripper-a-game-pad-for-your-pho

Just found on engadget, and looks nice, so far Supported phones:

We have successfully gotten the Bluetooth Game Gripper working on these devices and will be avidly testing it on more in the coming weeks.

I-phone 4

Ipad

DroidX

HTC Touch Pro II

Nexus one

Nexus S

Motorola Click

Galaxy S tab

With these phones, it does not work with the native bluetooth application or the Blueinput driver but we will continue to try to get them to work using other drivers

HTC Hero

HTC Evo

Samsung Epic

Palm Pixi

Now i just have a question will a custom kernel fix this issue with the bluetooth, or an asop rom?

[Atrix 4G General] a042349:
Hey All,

Looking at the Atrix as are lots of us. I'm wondering if anybody would hazard a guess about whether or not we'll be able to install any of our favorite Firefox extensions?

Is that capability dependent on the extensions being written to be compatibility with ARM processors or do they "follow" the browser so if it runs they run?

Firefox is not as nice as Chrome would have been, but Firefox w/o my favorite extensions would be downright unbearable. This for me might be a deal breaker, I could just see myself completely frustrated by having none of my favorite web browsing tweaks.

Thoughts?
[Atrix 4G General] Andrmgic:
The add-ons use APIs for Firefox.. I'd be surprised if they didn't work.

Of course something like IETab wouldn't work because it needs internet explorer to function, but add-ins written for firefox should work if AT&T hasn't blocked them somehow.

Due to the fact that the use of firefox on the device requires the tethering plan, I won't be getting one afterall :(
[Atrix 4G General] a042349:
Yeah, the tethering plan is bs as far as I'm concerned. AT&T is really milking this one. I'm a hopeless geek, and I'll probably get it even with the tethering plan though.

I'm hopeful that once it's out the webtop environment can be "rooted" or tweaked to some degree and give us some cool functionality or even better performance.

We'll see...hope you're right about the extensions.
[Atrix 4G General] Squeak22:
Hell, I'm hoping that eventually we can replace the whole environment with ChromeOS, or at least install the rest of the Debian packages, so we have a full OS instead of the partial one.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] registracije001:
hi, im new to this forum and new to android os.

i dont see root access something as a must have on your phone put i need it to fix my compass.

now, i cant find how to root htc wildfire running on froyo. i found that it was dificult before, and that its even more difficult now :(.

i tried using softroot.apk, but nothing happened.

i jut need temporary root so i can delete system compass calibration files, reboot the phone and get my compass working again (always pointing to west, randomly turning around, and after 5minutes of swinging phone in all directions it gets working again (but just until the screen goes of, then i need to do everything again)).

can someone please help me?

ps i got adb working, and a really searched how to fix compass a whole week now, and everything points back to rooting the phone.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonio1475:
You can't root Wildfire Froyo at the moment.

You'lll have to wait as we all are. There is no way.

:)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] registracije001:
and how is the development of the rooting going at the moment? some news on the progress (i mean are developers working on it and how long do they think it will take?).

and if i cant root it, is there another way of fixing the compass problem?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonio1475:
There is no news since first days of January, when Unrevoked said they were working on it. No updates since then.

A method has been "discovered" or I don't know how to say, which is a tool called XCT Clip, which costs around 200$ and some unlock shop would have and you can unlock for let's say 20$, but nothing certain. You may find some place which has it, but would be by casuality...

So... nothing you can do at home, unless you want to pay that money (if you can spend the money just for root it, just buy another phone)

EDIT: I know nothing specific about the compass...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] registracije001:
this phone is still new, that the problem.

this is the mail i (tried but failed to) sent to htc about the compass problem, just a copy paste.

*******************

i found a permanent fix to this on the web after a few hours of research, but i requires root access and i dont have that (i dont see the point of it and ill loos my warranty). it requires me to delete operating system calibration data from the magnetometer chip, and that makes sense. the chip is sending good data, but the phone dosent know how to interpret it when it loads those files only because applications that use compass (something like google maps for example).

im sending an *.txt attachment with the procedure how to fix that, please at least read the part under number 7 and 8.

the files with ak8973 in the name are system files what are used for the compass applications and correspond to the magnetometer chip (chp model is ak8973, im sending the datasheet so you can confirm).

now, the problem is root excess and my lack of knowledge about the android system and root commands. as i said, i dont see the point of rooting the phone and i dont want to do that, but every time i found someone who successfully fixed the compass glitch it was when they did this procedure.

it would be great if htc made a software update at least for this part, because many people have this problem.

*******************

ive found the magnetometer datasheet and all the data required for this procedure, but i cant get root excess so i can fix the problem.

psneuter

you can try and use psneuter from the attached file

adb push the contents in the folder in the zip to /data/local/tmp

then chmod 777 those two files and you will have shell root

but you will have to remount system as rw
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifarunnerr:
That worked, I've got root in shell now. But if we're root in terminal, isn't it easy to gain root access to all applications?

It's possible to start an application by terminal, so if we'd start an application that can get us permanent root access it should work.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] registracije001:
i accessed shell root using superoneclick, that was enough to remove some files so the compass starts working againe.

superoneclick is really great at that :).

just one more question, after temporary rooting the shell, do i lose my warantiy? i mean, if something happens, can they see in the service that i rooted the shell before?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifarunnerr:
Doesn't think so. If so, just use RUU or do factory reset before going to service.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
someone in the above posts included alpharev in rooting. thats wrong. alpharev is completely different.

-----unrevoked software roots ur phone (with older hboot) and installs a "custom recovery" , so that u can install custom roms. And unrevoked is not compatible with the newer froyo wildfires with hboot 1.01 untill now.

-----then coming to alpharev, this is an entirely different tool which works only on rooted devices. It turns the security flag on ur device to S-OFF so that u can access additional features. For a wildfire to work with alpharev, it should be rooted with the above unrevoked software. As far as today's date is concerned, this alpharev is not compatible with any wildfire. And the about to be released "alpharev2" will become compatible with older rooted wildfires with hboot 0.80. I dont know its compatibility with newer hboot.

And i can also say one thing. As far now, no one has successfully used ROOT ONLY APPS by any process on froyo wildfire hboot 1.01 (correct me if im wrong)

AND COMING TO UR COMPASS ISSUE:

(someone correct me if im wrong)

so, u wanted to delete the system compass calibration files (system rom files) with a file explorer. U meant to do temporary root for this purpose. I dont know whether it will be possible or not with a temp root.

ok. then trying to solve the issue. ok. u were saying that the compass issue is with all the apps which use the compass like google maps etc., . if it is so, have u done the FORCE STOP, CLEAR DATA, CLEAR CACHE, CLEAR DEFAULTS in the settings / applications / manage applications / all compass apps. I expect the compass calibration data lies here and will be deleted by doing this. I dont know whether this solves ur problem. but have a try. and try to download some fresh compass apps frm the market and check if the issue is with every app.

regarding ur question whether temporary root voids warranty or not, the answer will be NO. it retains warranty (only 90 % sure)

I THINK , YOUR COMPASS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED BY ANY MEANS TO ROOTING.

can say one thing. if it is a software issue, then "factory reset" should solve any problem.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebrichards:
Hi everyone.

I've just taken the plunge into the ROM flashing world, all thanks to the fantastic efforts of the community!

I have flashed my Desire with Oxygen (both RC6 & RC7) and it appears that my wifi has become inoperable. The details of my configuration are:

Radio: 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 (have also tried 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 and 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14)

Stock kernel

AlphaRev S-OFF + Oxygen HBOOT 0.93.1000

ClockworkMod-AlphaRev 2.5.1.8

I've had no problems getting all these bits sorted out, but this specific wifi issue appears to be unusual (I think).

I'm aware of the upstream signal strength issue, however the characteristics of this problem are quite different.

In essence, I'm unable to use wifi at all - when I turn it on I'll either see some or none of the networks I expect, then after a short interval (typically a couple of seconds) the list is empty.

On rare occasions I've been able to put in my network key (WPA2 in this case) and I will get an IP, but shortly afterwards the connection drops and all the networks disappear again. It's the same for open networks.

I've tried re-flashing all of the above radio versions, as well as setting the sleep policy to never and the regulatory domain to any value. The 3G data works fine, and I don't have any cellular signal issues. I've also flashed the Oxygen 1.04 Froyo ROM and everything worked perfectly. Any ROM flashing has been done after a full wipe.

I've looked through many posts about wifi issues but have not managed to find much in the way of resolve. There's been a lot of talk about re-flashing the radio/ROM and ensuring a full wipe, but I've had no luck doing that. People have also mentioned trying different kernels, but I've not yet tried that out - I would think that if the stock one works for others it should work for me.

Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I don't have a solution for you, but I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone.

I have experienced the same problem. For me it is actually more random and I can't reproduce it at all.

Sometimes it would be exactly the problem as you describe it. Sometimes it would connect to wifi and everything works. Sometimes it would connect and wifi to wan works but it wouldn't connect to intranet devices (meaning connecting to my NAS gives me "no route to host" errors, but connecting to the e.g. market through wifi works).

And sometimes everything just works. Even without a reboot. Just trying a few minutes later.

I have experienced this with Oxygen, CM7 and basically any Gingerbread ROM on my Desire.

Mobile data works flawlessly.

Just my 2 cents.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebrichards:
Thanks for your input - it's good to know that I'm not alone!

My concern is that if our problems aren't a very common experience and if it isn't naturally resolved by the Nexus One OTA, it might never get fixed! Fingers crossed...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebrichards:
I'd just like to bump this up, as the problem still exists in the final oxygen release.

I've also tried out the DevNull ROM, but still no luck.

Also, the logs aren't showing any issues with the wifi - it's just keeps scanning and finds nothing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EraqEE:
I have a similar problem with the DevNull Rom as well.

I bought an HTC Desire HD recently from the UK and it was sim free.

I live in Japan and I am a regular Softbank user with a different phone currently. I went to the softbank store today to get my old sim card changed over to the smart phone sim card, the guy said it would cost $25 to change to the smart phone sim.

But when he put it in to test it didnt get any network connection at all in my new Desire HD.

He did a check on the phone and he said it was because the phone is not from in Japan and that the Japanese sim cards at softbank are locked.

Is there any way to get my new UK Desire HD to work on Softbank Japan?
