[HTC Inspire 4G] waynestatemac:
You are right there is a free sirius app. However it does not work with the people that have the original free online accounts that sirius use to give when you subscribed with a sat radio. About 2 years they had 2 internet accounts the free one and a premium (higher kb/s) for a few bucks more a month. A few months later they then said the free accounts were going to be terminated unless you locked in your subscription. I called and locked in for 5 years so I still have my free online account.

The premium account is the only one that will work with the free apps that Sirius is using now. It will not work with the free one. In windows mobile there was a few user made apps that worked with the free account now I believe SIRIUSWM6 is the only app that works now.

Wunderradio & Sirius used to work on my Androidphone but it does the same thing now with the flash. Last month Sirius changed there website around when you log into the online listing page. This change is what threw off wunderradio. I just hope they fix it. Im now booting into wm6 on my hd2 just to listen to Sirius.
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
Exactly right, the Sirius app does not work with my subscription. However, I have a lifetime subscription, so I should automatically have been "locked in", yes? Maybe I will give Sirius a call about this.

Funny thing is that WunderRadio does work on my Viewsonic G-Tab, running Vegan 5.1.1 ROM, but not on the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
Also, I can listen online on my PC, but when I try to do so on the Inspire in a browser, a flash login screen comes up, and it does not take input from the keyboard. Sometimes, it does not even bring up the keyboard. Very frustrating.
[HTC Inspire 4G] waynestatemac:
They will probably tell you the same thing as they did me. They said I could pay $2.99 more a month and upgrade the free account to the premium which will work with the Sirius phone apps. I've been hoping that since their is only a few of us left with the free account that they will just upgrade us all for free, doubt it though. I've been a member before Howard you think they would throw me a bone. For now I will just boot to WM6.5 on my HD2 to listen to Sirius.

Also I had Wunderradio working for awhile after the webpage switch on my HD2. I believe I cleared the cache from the browser and that is when it quit working correctly. I think it erased all the old information from the old site and now was trying to access the new site. So don't clear your cache on the G-Tab!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
OK, so I called Sirius. They want $3/month to "upgrade" me to "premium mobile service." Although, it seems to me that since I can listen on my PC, I would be able to listen on my phone if I had a Windows phone? So this is just an IPhone/Android restriction? Seems bogus to me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
Exactly right, I posted just as you were posting.

It would be nice if it worked on the Inspire, but I can always take the G-Tab with me it I need it. Great device, once rooted and ROM'd!
[HTC Inspire 4G] waynestatemac:
Hey Smalis,

Jeez so the same for you even though your bought a lifetime subscription, what a bummer.

Also Sirius doesn't support Windows Mobile, so basically we Sirius listens have been relaying on some good programmers to make us up apps to make it work.

I've had windows mobile phones since 2001 and somebody started making their own Sirius app about 6-7 years ago. That went good for awhile then Sirius I think made him stop distributing the app or paid him some money to stop the software so that went down for awhile. Then somebody else made anther one, and anther and so on. I think I've went threw maybe 4 different programs or more. The best was app that somebody made was called Sxradio2 it would show cd covers for the songs playing and Howard's face on h100 and h101. However that went down after the website change and now they posted they wont fix the software because there doing some other work. Now I got anther program called SiriusWM6 that works pretty good for now.

I feel its just a matter of time though till this goes down too though. With windows mobile 6.5 dieing out due to the new WM7 and competition from the Iphone and Android, I think there will be little developers to fix or build the software for WM6.5.

Also I dont know if you know about the HD2 its a WM6.5 phone with basically the EVO hardware inside. They are now able to take Android and we can pretty much dual boot the phone to WM6.5 or Android. I also seen they have WM7 running on the HD2 as well but have not tried it out yet. Pretty neat device with 3 operating systems!

Just an FYI as I know I like to have my screen protector on the day I purchase my phone. Steinheil has all three of their major products for the Thunderbolt now available. Just ordered mine.

Ultra Crystal, Ultra Fine and the Ultra Oleophobic.

I will have to say that I have tried a ton of different protectors in my time and nothing compares to Steinheil.

Crossing fingers for a TB release tomorrow.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] RaptorMD:
Thanks for the heads upon these, I always like to purchase their screen protectors.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ilinimud:
Anyone used the Incredible Shield they offer? I put my Incredible in a case when i got it and took it out to clean it a month later and it was all scuffed and scratched up. Dont want that to happen again.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Sunken:
This is my first smartphone, so whats the difference between the three?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] lilsalmon:
Just got mine in the mail yesterday and got to order my Seidio case. That way I am all ready whenever they decide to drop this phone.

As far as the difference between the three:

The Ultra Crystal is bascially the defacto standard for Steinheil. Crystal clear and to me actually enhances the actual screen.

The Oleophobic is new to me but thats actually the one I purchased. Its supposedly like the ultra clear but with an anti-water/oil coating (the iphone has this caoting on the default screen itself.)

The anti-fingerprint one I have also installed on my wife and mother-in-laws's Facinates. Its basically a matte finish that doesn't show any fingerprints but does in my opinion not do justice to the screens on these new phones. But some users just really hate fingerprints.

Hope this helps.

-Lil'
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ilinimud:
lilsalmon, have you ever seen the Incredible Shield they offer? I was thinking of getting this instead of a case.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] lilsalmon:
Not first hand.

All I can say is I have tried quite a few different cases and screen protectors with my Incredible, Droid 1 and my wife's Facinate and Eris and Steinheil's screen protectors are far superior to all in my opinion.

-Lil'
[Thunderbolt Accessories] irod87:
Can you post pics of the Oleophobic? Ive always used the ultra clears and love them but I wonder how different the Oleophobic is?

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Accessories] loztboy:
I've been using the Ultra fine ones for the past 2 days and I love it. I only use SPG screen protectors.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Jodiuh:
Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

I made the mistake of buying the VZW screens and wound up w/ a scratch on my screen...ugh.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] lilsalmon:
The picture won't show much difference than the Ultra Crystal. Honestly I had always used the Ultra Crystal myself and just wanted to try the Oleophobic. I have been really impressed. Its basically the same clarity etc as the Ultra Crystal but resists fingerprints a bit more. You still get finger prints but not as many.

I hope this helps.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] bblanski:
Good that is what I ordered also
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Rileyracing:
Steinheil fit

How good does the Steinheil protector fit? Does it cover the

complete screen?

Thanks in advance
[Thunderbolt Accessories] lilsalmon:
Fits perfect. You wont even know there is a protector on it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] wctaylor79:
Got mine installed this past weekend. Best screen protector I have used Had a Zagg on my D1 but hated the rubbery feel. Using the crystal clear and it glides smoother then nothing at all..
[Thunderbolt Accessories] emagana02:
Just ordered the Ultra Fine from Amazon. Should be arriving on Friday. :)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] HarlyFan:
Sounds like the Oleophobic is the way to go, I hope I can get my Zagg off without to much trouble. Has anyone removed a Zagg, what did you use to accomplish it and get the screen clean?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Goronok:
The Zagg should come off no problem. I just removed mine.. nice protection but hate the feel of it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Purgatoiry:
I got the SGP ultra fine, the first one had problems where the pull tab is for peeling it. The 2nd looked much better, i love the way it feels, finger usually just glides across the screen without grabbing or sticking. The fit is good, just enough room to get it on without it having to be exactly perfect.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jmz768:
They cover the screen but the fit is not "perfect" by definition. They are slightly narrower and shorter than the screen but I've never seen a screen protector with a "perfect" fit. Not sure why it's so hard to make a protector exactly the same size as the screen but apparently it is.

I'm satisfied with mine but I'm not sure it's worth the price premium over the cheap protectors I was using prior to this one. I guess time will tell.
[Android Software Development] blast0id:
For those who want an easy way to create and sign CWM flashable zips via windows, look no further... this is about as easy as it gets!

I suggest if you are using this method to replace any system files, to delete the existing file first by adding some lines to the updater-script found in the META-INF folder. as follows:

delete("/system/app/Rosie.apk");

these lines can be added below the

mount("MTD", "data", "/data");

line... make sure filenames correct because they are case sensitive.

Hopefully this will make your lives a little easier =)

LATEST VERSION MIRROR: CLICK HERE

CHANGELOG:

1.1 - Current
~~* Silent update, forgot to include a couple of the updated files... oops! =)

1.0 - Update
~~* All drag & drop versions now support dragging and dropping from anywhere, not just the "working" directory.
~~* Fixed manual versions, where the loopback to work with more files was not working properly.
~~* Now deletes the unsigned zip after building the signed zip.
~~* Cleaned up folder a bit, now works from _bin folder, and outputs to _out folder. Batch file should stay in "main" folder, one level above _bin folder.

0.9 - Update
~~* Added sign only, manual plus drag & drop versions
~~* Included FR translation (google) of the d&d zip and sign

0.8 - Update
~~* removed the random .apk that was accidentally included in 0.6, not sure what happened to 0.7... lol

0.6 - Initial forum release
[Android Software Development] blast0id:
quick little update... apparently I had included a small .apk in the update folder... my bad, sorry for the waste of bandwidth =)

as the great homer simpson would say: DOH!
[Android Software Development] poundesville:
Hi ...

I'm not developer but it seems what you're doing will help other developers (and in the end: I'll benefit from that)...

Here's a "thank you" note..

... note: this post is just my way to become a post-whore like you.... j/k
[Android Software Development] bestofrhcp:
would it also work for Amon-RA?
[Android Software Development] blast0id:
yes, latest versions of amon-ra and cwm are both work only with edify scripts, so yes. you just need to know what your specific system & data paths are, system should be the same for everyone, but some devices use userdata /userdata instead of data /data... hopefully that makes sense =)

hope this helps =)

a new version, for the "manual" script will actually loop back when finished building/signing a zip, so that you can do multiple build/sign sessions, without having to reopen the script after every build/sign session will be updated shortly... I've already tested it and got it working... no real changes to the drag-and-drop file as it's not really necessary... I am trying to figure out a way to do a drag and drop sign only script, so once I have that figured out I will updated again...
[Android Software Development] blast0id:
updated =)
[Android Software Development] wilnotdie:
Thanks! This will save me from using Terminal Emulator after each cm nightly flash.
[Android Software Development] blast0id:
oops! Oops! ^

[Android Software Development] blast0id:
UDPATED... sorry if you downloaded 1.0, download again now @ 1.1... forgot to include a couple of the updated files... double checked everything this time though... =) enjoy!
[Android Software Development] heart_crafter:
looks like you might be able to answer my question :D

was playing around and deleted systemui.apk from system\app folder...

was trying to replace with another one... that did not work...

so i tired putting back the original one... and that does not install either...

is there a way to install that back on ?

if it is just guide me a lil bit...

will this procedure actually install the file?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1268661

thank you :D
[Android Software Development] blast0id:
just do this

adb remount
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app
adb reboot

no need to "install" it, it just needs to be in the system/app folder at boot time... you might actually want to "adb reboot recovery" instead of "adb reboot" and then clear dalvik before rebooting into OS again...
[Android Software Development] jgrimberg1979:
I tried testing it by droping a apk in a folder called app and then dropping the app folder in data and then went ahead and used the .bat. I went into recovery, flashed it without an error but nothing was installed once i booted. Any ideas? Dont scripts very like some have a run program system/xbin/busybox etc?

edit. I was able to move the folder from data to system and then ran the script and flashed it and it worked, it should up once it booted. Is there any way to get it to flash data/app?
[Android Software Development] heart_crafter:
thanks for the code...

but i already had copied the file into system/app... and it wasnt working (wasnt installing) just did a dalvic wipe now... and looked at that file permission and it was different from all other system apps... so i matched them up.. and rebooted ... and systemtray is back :D

thank you!
[Android Software Development] blast0id:
here's the hint from the first post:

copy the extract_package line that references "system" and change "system" to "data" in all cases, or if you have no need to copy anything to system then just change all "system" cases to "data" rename the "system" folder to "data" then add your files as necessary...
[Android Software Development] jgrimberg1979:
I am not sure i understand. Let me try and clarify what i am in trying to do. I am trying to build a flashable zip that contains an apk that i want to essential be installed in data/app directory. thats it.

What i see from the script below is that you have everything covered, system and data, so i am assuming if nothing is in the folder as system then it will be skipped over, correct

ui_print("");

ui_print("");

ui_print("Clearing dalvik cache ...");

delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

mount("MTD", "data", "/data");

ui_print("");

ui_print("");

ui_print("Installing files to system ...");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

unmount("/system");

ui_print("");

ui_print("");

ui_print("Installing files to data ...");

show_progress(0.700000, 50);

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

unmount("/data");

show_progress(10.000000, 1);

ui_print("Done.");
[Android Software Development] blast0id:
oh ok... sorry... yeah I think for anything that goes to data, there needs to be an install command try adding install("/data/app/filename.apk"); for each file, after the package_extract_dir("data", "/data"); function... not sure if that is correct, but maybe?

I'm looking to replace these stock earbuds.... they sound ok but the build quality is horrible and after 5 months of fairly heavy use the connector is already starting to separate.

Any suggestions? I want something with the same "stuff in" type feel, but something that's actually a decent price. I'm seeing a lot of $100+ klipsch and Skull Candy / Beatz or whatever the **** they're called.

Not interested in either of those gimmicky brands (dr. dre beatz or skull candy) but I could justify splurging on a Klipsch set if it was worth it.... looking for something a bit cheaper though lol
[Epic 4G Accessories] snowmanwithahat:
2 days later.... I'm starting to get the impression I'm the only one who ever used the stock earbuds.

Shameless bump.... shopping tonight and recommendations are welcome
[Epic 4G Accessories] eddieyee:
For $15, these are great... I find the midrange on these not bad and the bass/treble very good.

MEElectronics M9P-BK

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038W0K20

For $45, these are excellent sounding... Full spectrum is very clear.

NuForce NE-7M

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BL8BO4

I have both, and found them via head-fi.org forums.

Both of these earbud headsets puts the stock one to shame. I prefer these over bluetooth headsets due to radiation emitted via Bluetooth as well as the phone by itself. Only disadvantage of these earbud/headphones is no active noise cancellation. (eg. a Bluetooth Plantronics Voyager Pro's noise canellation is a LOT better, especially in a car, bus or noisy environment, unfortunately not sure if the bluetooth signal itself is bad (long term) since it's right next to your skull.
[Epic 4G Accessories] bsutton:
If you want DECENT headphones (Good sound, Good build quality), you're gonna have to get a DECENT brand. Right now, beats are the best you can get (opinion), and skull candy's are DECENT, and not too bad of a price. Look on amazon, i got some 80$ skull candy's for 15 dollars and they're AMAZING
[Epic 4G Accessories] snowmanwithahat:
Thanks for the input guys.
[Epic 4G Accessories] faceless:
these Monoprice earbuds are decent, and the price is really low.

dunno if you'll like the color though.
[Epic 4G Accessories] cornelious2:
I really like zagg smartbuds great sound. Great build quality.

My phone didn't come with stock earplugs, did my Bestbuy steal them from the packaging?! :confused:
[Epic 4G Accessories] jeremiah.rs:
I don't know about any with a microphone, but get some Klipsch's! I own a pair of S4's, and they are the best earbuds I've ever had.

I don't think you will regret buying these things, and I will honestly say your music will come alive with these things.

I do believe they have a model of the S4's which has a microphone, but i'm not sure if they would work with the Epic, call them up and find out.

oh, I got my S4's around 60 bucks when they were on sale from vanns or something
[Epic 4G Accessories] faceless:
sounds like it... they're supposed to come with earphones with a built in mic.
[Epic 4G Accessories] pjy9394:
I also got those pair of Klipsch Image S4 headphones too.

Theyre awesome! It is worth investing in them.

So heres the link to vanns.com for these earphones

http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/features/770077370/klipsch-image-s4-black?s_c=site_search

Theyre $79 right now (i got mine when they were $64 to rub it in haha) but hey at least theyre free shipping and they sound better than $100+ headphones.

If you don't believe me, CNET wrote a review on these and put them on their "must have gadgets" list.
[Epic 4G Accessories] KL4V1CL3:
I am also using the Klipsch S4's. Fantastic headphones, especially if you ditch the stock rubber tips and get a pair of complys
[Epic 4G Accessories] drunix:
Just in case this is helpful to someone searching, our phones use a headset with a 4-pole 3.5mm male plug. iPhone's also use this plug, as do many other phones.

What you may not know is that they are not all the same. This kind of connector is called a TRRS connector (tip ring ring shaft or something like that, as opposed to the TRS headset only connectors that have been around forever).

Our phone is arranged as such:

Tip = L

R1 = R

R2 = Mic

S = Ground

an iPhone (and many, many other phones) is:

Tip = L

R1 = R

R2 = Ground

S = Mic

There are adapters if you must have one that is incompatible, but they're a pain in the ass to find and the only ones I've found have been overpriced ($10).

If you use an iPhone headset on our phone, sound will work, but mic will not.
[Epic 4G Accessories] riceknight:
Are there any small adapters that can make it work?

Something like

[Epic 4G Accessories] bighuta:
I thought there is a driver on the Epic that detects the headset and configures what signal to send to the corresponding section of the plug.
[Epic 4G Accessories] chronostorm:
I'm not so sure this is exactly right... I have an old iphone 3g and an epic 4g, and I have a mic that works on both of them...
[Epic 4G Accessories] Bakkasan:
Don't bother with the Klipsch s4i, the mic doesnt work on both of my android phones, but the promedia version works fine with my epic/evo. They are around $40 online from tiger direct. I ended up with a pair of Mee m6 with mic. $20 and sound pretty damn good. Built cheap, costs only a little! People on the other end say the mic is crystal clear.
[Epic 4G Accessories] futureprospect:
I have these, and they are good stock replacements. Sound better, and lower price.
