But it will eat you phone batter up pretty fast. I opted for an external BT GPS.
[Android Apps and Games] Cdewell:
I apologize if I break some rule, I posted this in another thread but realized the topic concerned a G1. I am not allowed to post on the development thread due to my just joining.

I'd like to find an app that would block outgoing SMS text messages. I've tried to find one that would do such a thing and have been unsuccessful. I've also thought about creating my own but realized it is way beyond my level of comprehension.

The way I see it the app could run a script that if the particular number was detected would disable the radio for a certain period of time and delete the message before the radio coming back on. it would be password protected to allow control and prevent unauthorized use.

I want to do this because there is a particular number I no longer want to text. I've memorized the number so deleting the contact is not an option. I'm not looking for criticism about my weak constitution. You're not my psychologist. I'm just trying to find a way to resolve this issue before they have to change their number to avoid me.

If there is someone out there working on this I'd really like to find out about their progress. if not then a starting point on how to create this app.

Tried flashing a 2.2 Sense ROM in clockworkmod 3.0. Did not work, I was told to flash an older version of clockwork-mod.

flashed the ROM, all was going well until the unthinkable happened.

I now get this system error:

E:Board does not support mtd utils.E:Failure at line 388

write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:

Installation aborted.

Forgot that clockworkmod would erase my old backup... I can get into clockworkmod by the way. If I mount it, can I sideload someone else's recovery image...??? If so, could someone provide one? thanks

Noob-friendly help plz?

thanks-- just bought my nexus :/

Edit: Also, using a mac. Have access to a pc tomorrow. I just want sense :[
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Clockwork 3 seems to have been messing with a lot of peoples partitions. Install a different recovery, like Amon Ra, our an earlier Clockwork.

Then you can try and do a full wipe, and install whatever you want for a ROM.

Clockwork won't have deleted your backup, but if you made it with Clockwork 3, it may not work with other recoveries...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GchildT:
IMO, AmonRa works better with the N1. I've thoroughly used both. Clockwork works great on the SNS.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespwolpert:
Yup. Problem solved :]

flashed Amon-Ra via Fastboot. Coming from a vibrant which features the luxury of odin and wonderful Clockworkmod support. Thanks for the help, was geeking out for a while without odin at my disposal. Never had to partition sd in my life haha. Learning a lot.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] evolarius:
Saw this theme poking about the Developers forum, and was wondering what all would need to be done to port this over to Bionix 1.2

If someone with dev experience could tell me pretty much what it would entail code-wise, i could give it a fair shot myself...

http://devsforandroid.com/ip.board/index.php?/topic/50-theme-axura-rain-2310/
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dligon:
why not try out axura 2.3.1 and the theme you may like it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] evolarius:
It just may happen

If push comes to shove, I may just give it a shot... I have become a fan of Bionix, and have grown weary of all the wiping and re-flashing...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mbison83:
how/where do you install it?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mbison83:
bump if i may.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
It is highly unlikely you are going to get one the Axura themers such as my self Annex or Sharpie to port this over for you as none of us use bionix. Now provided the framework files are similar you could port it yourself. The framework files should be in the same directory but you will have to create an appropriate directory with in the flashable zip for data as i'm sure bionix and Axura use different app directories. Once you have that squared away you should be fine in porting over Bionix, that said ask the original creators for permission to do so first as it is always a good practice.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] evolarius:
This is something that i would be willing to try myself, as im curious about it, but i have zero experience with code, and would definitely screw something up. is there a guide somewhere that would help point me in the right direction?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
There is actually no code involved unless you go in and start modifying the xml scripts and java scripts with in the framework files if you want I could attempt it for you but cannot gaurantee that it would work as the theme was built from the ground up, you can give me the file dir for where your apps apk files go I could try to make one for you. But I have to reiterate that there is 0 gaurantee that this would work as the theme was built from the ground up for axura.

I am trying to setup Push Email for my Hotmail account using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. I go through all the steps and it sets it up, but after it goes to the mail list, it keeps doing a continuous loop of syncing and refreshing. Anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] EastwooD-:
You don't use exchange for hotmail use the option other and that will work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] enjoiracin:
Will Push Email work with this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
You can't setup Hotmail as an Exchange account, there's no way I'm aware of anyway. I've never had Hotmail setup on a device where Push was available as an option, however you can set it to refresh as often as every 5 minutes
[HTC Inspire 4G] ekerbuddyeker:
saw this somewhere and it worked for me

Protocol - pop

put email address in and user name put email address in again

put in password

pop server - pop3.live.com

security type - SSL port 995

outgoing

put email address in as username

put in password

smtp server - smtp.live.com

[HTC Inspire 4G] ekerbuddyeker:
FYI on wm6.5 hotmail is push
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
This makes sense
[HTC Inspire 4G] pclewis:
Hotmail now has IMAP which is better for cell phones than POP. It will push and sync.

[HTC Inspire 4G] enjoiracin:
Okay so I got Push Hotmail to finally work on the Inspire.

What I found out was that default mail app on the Inspire does not support Push Hotmail for some reason.

What I ended up doing was downloading the default Google email.apk file and installed it on my Inspire and followed the instructions to setup Push Hotmail that can my found on Google.

Does anyone know of a home screen launcher that looks like (or can look like) the NXE (New Xbox experience) dashboard? I would swear on a stack of bibles that I saw one on a youtube video of an android phone.
[Android Apps and Games] CBONE:
No one?
[Android Apps and Games] sergioalvarezmac:
There's nothing like you want, at the moment. But, perhaps you must consider

this when they have a final version in the market.
[Android Apps and Games] luca108:
thats not really like the Xbox dashboard, but that does look very promising.
[Android Apps and Games] CBONE:
Thanks for responding. It's such a simple and neat interface compared to "screen full of icons", I'm surprised no one is trying to make it happen.

I must have reinstalled Darky's Resurrection ODIN v 9.2 5 times to see if it would fix my WIFI issue - no luck!!!

I can access the internet with the 3g and all GPS - no problem...I can view any network and log into any network AND CONNECT!!!!! However, when trying to access the Market or any Internet, it will not allow any connections...this is driving me insane!!!!!

I even flashed back to stock FROYO 2.2 and the same thing...allows me to connect to any network, but won't allow an internet connection!! Please, any suggestions or fixes???
[Vibrant General] helikido:
Search it on google. It's even on the official ps site. It futures a quad core arm cortex a9 and quad core sgx543:)). Jawsdroping right there. Not only that but also a 5 inch oled screen ( better than super anoles) with a resolution as high as the iphones. And the best part, call of duty and other console high end titles. That's enough to make me sell my galaxy s, though I won't cuz I'm loyal. So what do u think about the Orion chip holding out against this beast.
[Vibrant General] shehrammajid:
OMG...thats amazing specs right there...wish it were put in a phone tho :(

[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
The Xperia Play runs Android, not the NGP.

The NGP and the Play have very different specs. I wouldn't recommend selling your Galaxy S for an NGP, cause its not a phone (though it may have skype) .

Either way the NGP is drool worthy, can't wait to see what game devs can do with that hardware. Uncharted looks incredible on it, could be easily confused with its PS3 counterpart.
[Vibrant General] Spartoi:
Smartphones will be on par with it by the end of this year or early next year. The Galaxy S2 already has a quad core GPU (Mali 400) and quad core CPUs (Tegra 3) are supposed to be coming at the end of this year.

Personally, my next upgrade would either be the SGS 2 or the Optimus 3D even though Android apps/games will probably not need that much power anytime soon.

Also, the NGP is not a phone (doesn't even run Android) so I don't know why you would sell your Galaxy S for it.
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
sgs2 with a quad ...........................................................................

sure about that?
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Why is this in the Vibrant forum?
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
I agree but it was only in the general forum so I think it doesn't matter...But that xperia play looks legit the only reason I would use it is for emulators!
[Vibrant General] ld006:
Yes, he is right, while the "CPU" is still just a dual-core, the "GPU" is a quad-core, so in theory the SGS 2 GPU should beat the tegra 2 once samsung gets out of its beta software for the SGS 2
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perosredo:
Is there any way I can flash--either through ODIN or CWM--to get rid of the lockscreen?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Check out no lock from the market.

everyone here wants 14 lock screens not none ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perosredo:
I know about NoLock, but I'd prefer a lower-level solution...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
You may have to create your own then as I have not seen anyone incorporate the removal of the lockscreen entirely.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perosredo:
Would this be done as part of the kernel or the OS?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
It would be in the os..... best suggestion i would have is to ask Mikey (Serendipity rom) if it is something he would know how to do easily.
[Galaxy Tab General] fwelland:
Seems like a simple thing, but I can't find a good solution.

I have some gdocs spreadsheets that I want to download (as xls or ods) and then edit via thinkfree. Yes I know you can do gdocs spreadsheets online via browser on my sgt. However, the gdocs spreadsheet mobile is not to my liking.

There are several Market apps that do downloading or synching of gdocs to/from android. A couple I have tried are 'my docs' and 'gdocs' but these don't support spreadsheets or I couldnt figure out how to make them do spreadsheets; they worked ok for text docs.

The online spreadsheat, on a desktop, does have a good save as feature. However, google is too smart and won't let me use the desktop experience from my sgt, even when I ask (nicely).

And, I prefer a low or no cost solution. I do see that Documents To Go suggests that you can do this; that isn't low/no cost.

Any other options?

Oh I tried think free online, too. Despite having some sort of 'login with google account' feature; I didnt see how it provides links or other techniques for getting at my gdocs. Maybe I am doing it wrong. Oh and I'd like to avoid signing up for another online service too. Besides I do shared authoring of some gdocs; no way could I get others to switch to a new online docs service.

___________

Found a solution. Reading closely the 'not suppurted browser' page, you can add an override flag (to the submitted url) that instructs the full google docs web experience to skip th browser check. By doing this, I can get the docs browser page of google docs that has a control that allows me to download my spreadsheets.

The url is like:

https://docs.google.com/DocAction?browserok=true#home

You need to add an app like 'Download all Files' so that the stock browser will save the file.

Hope this helps someone else!
[Galaxy Tab General] mmathai77:
use full desktop mode in your browser,

downlaod FIREFOX, and use it to download /open with think free

firefox is the only android broswer that lets me properly download/OPEN WITH by clicking on a link and I can select which app.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] slypher25aussie:
Something very strange...

I just got my HTC HD2 ported to WP7. Strange thing was, my desktop is having a hell of a time keeping up with the phone. I can never get a USB connection on it. I ended up having to do all the porting on my Macbook Pro running Windows 7 in Bootcamp. So the issue is that when I connect it to my desktop which natively runs Windows 7, the phone charges, but Zune and the Mobile Device Center both report that the phone is not connected. And to make things even more aggravating, every time I connect the phone, my wifi connection on the desktop drops off. As soon as I disconnect the phone, it comes back with some prompting. What am I doing wrong??
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Anyone else have this problem?

I'll go into Handscent to reply to a text or open up the Dolphin browser to surf the web, and my touch input keyboard doesn't work. I'll have a cursor in the field and the DINC will vibrate when I hit the keys, but nothing appears. I have to back out and go back into whatever app I'm using sometimes five or six times for it to correct itself. It's getting very frustrating. I have tried switching to the Android keyboard when the problem is going on and have found it has the same issues.

I am running SkyRaider 3.3.2 with the 07.28 radio. Stock kernel, and stock everything else I'm pretty sure.

If anyone has any ideas or an actual fix I'd be greatly appreciative.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kschwarz88:
To me, it sounds like a kernel issue. Try flashing a different kernel like Lou's #4 and see if that helps improve the issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I just upgraded to SkyRaider 3.5 and so far the problem hasn't resurfaced. If it does, I may try your idea.

[General Questions and Answers] odoketa:
Sorry to post this here - this relates to this thread. The process seems to have some bugs. Specifically, once I am logged in, the steps say to execute the following:

Sadly, when I try to move the recovery script, I get a file not found. A quick ls of the /system/etc dir shows there is no install-recovery.sh

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] odoketa:
answer my own question

So what I'm seeing is that this step just gets omitted. E.g. (pretend I linked to http colon slash slash forum.androidcentral.com slash optimus-v/58654-custom-recovery-optimus-v.html) this thread at android central (pretend I closed the href here). I guess the script must have been for the S, maybe?
[General Questions and Answers] Wrightboy:
I'm running into the same issue. I looked it up and a lot of places just passed over it for the V. But then after I did that and rebooted into recovery, there was no

"Backup" option, was just the "Android system recover <3e>" with options like reboot, wipecache, and two others...tried multiple times with the same results. Am I just missing something?

- Wright
[General Questions and Answers] odoketa:
Did you end up flashing? I decided to go a different route, used superoneclick to get on, pushed a copy of su to the machine, and simply went in as superuser to delete the pre-installed apps that I didn't like. I've yet to actually flash mine.
[General Questions and Answers] Wrightboy:
I did actually...after like 5 attempts I gave up for like an hour. Then I came back, did the exact same thing, except this time it booted custom recovery? No idea why the recover took, but anyway...flashed with the rom, wiped and rebooted, got stuck at the LG screen, flashed/wiped again and it worked perfect?

But, the image in that thread we were using doesn't have a kernel that lets you go over 600 mhz. So just like 30 minutes after flashing I went and downloaded an Xionia rom and flashed it with that...specs are follows:

Rom info:

- Xionia 005 Kernel

- VM crapware removed (No WHERE, Air chat, etc)

- Boot Logo and sound are gone

- Deodexed

- ZipAligned

- Not overclocked (but the kernel IS overclockable using SetCpu or similar)

- Optimus S themes will not work with this rom.

- Overclockable up to 864Mhz (No guarantees on how fast your particular processor will go. Mine is only stable up to 825.)

- CIFS support

- Tons of speed tweaks (see the thread linked above for full details)

Just google like Stock Virgin Mobile + Xionia Kernel (BETA 2).

Now using Setcpu to keep it stable at 806Mhz.

But yeah, really no idea what made the recovery finally take. Although, haven't tested this, but after you set the usb mode to transfer, move the files, the use superone click. It resets the usb connection, and I usually go and turn back on the usb file transfer option, but I didn't the time it worked. Could be a connection, but maybe not? *shrug*

-Wright

[HTC Inspire 4G] wacktool:
I followed Attn1's root guide with success. The only problem I had was that the built in tethering app wouldnt work for me. I pulled android.tether_25.apk from my rooted custom rom evo 2.2.1 and installed it in my rooted Inspire 2.2. After installing and running it once then stopping it (ok'ing all the super user prompts, I restarted/not powered down the phone). So far so good. I thought I would share. Use at your own risk.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tehgeekguy:
I haven't had any issues with the WiFi Hotspot on my phone after rooting, but one thing to try is setting the WiFi channel manually, instead of letting it set it automatically. I had to do that on my N1 when using the DesireHD/DesireZ roms.

To manually set the channel, go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings, setup your network as you want it, then press Menu and go to Advanced. Hit Wi-Fi channel and set your channel then go back.

That may or may not help. Again, mine seems to be working fine and I have my channel set to Auto, but it might help someone somewhere :)

I'm trying something at work and don't know if this is possible. I've done a little looking but don't know exactly what I'm looking for.

We have MDTs in our vehicles that have a wireless data connection and a secured WiFi network for our tablets. We are limited on what we can access on the MDTs (normally just our CAD program only, but I found an exploit to access Windows Explorer) and they operate on Windows. I was wondering if there is something that I can plug in to a USB port that will link with the wireless data network and add an additional WiFi network that I can access/control.
