[Streak 5 General] CrazyKaks:
finally made it to att 2.2

i was on 318 as well had to go all the way back to 1.6 to get it to work.. havent had much time to go through.. but i would definitely agree it is much faster then 318
[Streak 5 General] nickshertzer:
What's the Quadrant score on 340? Has anyone tried perfmod on it?
[Streak 5 General] Oreynid:
Would one of you folks mind pasting the fingerprint from the build.prop? I want to see if I can regain AT&T carrier billing in the market on streakdroid 1.8
[Streak 5 General] dflohr:
Ditto that request.

Would really like to see that ATT installs as the ro.ril.xxxxx statements for setup of the cell system parameters.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
According to captivate forum if you delete tethering manger 1.0 with titanium backup you can get around the att tethering verification.

Anyone want to try?
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
So is K-9 better than the new email client or do you prefer the new email client over K-9?
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
Anyone want to try my tethering suggestion?
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
it would still work without a tethering plan. the only phones att was capable of controlling that on where iphones and blackberrys. windows mobile and android have it build in, but removable. the unlocked version of the att streak does have a setting to turn on tethering. but apparently this version has it turned off, it doesnt take much to do it, verizon does it too, just copy what they do.
[Streak 5 General] cingulartreo:
Yep I still think so. Pinch to zoom is enabled. It also has the ability to pop up notifications. Its getting closer, though.
[Streak 5 General] derechbennoach:
Ditto here on everything.

I did try to back it up in streakmod and CWM both failed.

Email was the same. Exchange sync failed for me with it as well. Our server has a self signed ssl. and the accept all does not work.

Looked just like 318 to me with unknown sources missing from settings applications.
[Streak 5 General] carhigh:
Battery life is great
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
Woah! Now you got my attention! How much better is the battery life over 318?
[Streak 5 General] Michael95GT:
It must be awesome then, cause it's been pretty damn good with 318 since I've had it.

I'll still sacrifice some battery life for my FREE Tethering/HotSpot!! :D
[Streak 5 General] carhigh:
On 318 100% would drop within a few minutes of turning the screen on after unplugging. On att 1.6, 100% seemed to last a long time. Now on att 2.2 it seems more like 1.6 was. Granted ive only been using a day!

Not sure about 318 itself because i had the perfmod installed with that
[Streak 5 General] cyapalmpos:
Any progress with the Front Facing Camera, say, using Fring?
[Streak 5 General] jpdraw:
Hi,

I just got my Streak (unlocked, 2.2). I installed ooVoo and it worked perfectly. I video chatted with my wife (she was in her computer at home), I was waiting for the train.

So, yes the front camera works!!!

unlimited FTMFW! But in reality I've yet gone past 2gigs.

It was a ***** for me to get to 2.2, soooooooooooo I dunno if I want to futz with trying to get AT&T 2.2. Although the pop up notifications are what I miss about my iPhone.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SNadler:
I have notice two or three times that the Atrix will "Ring" twice upon startup and shutdown sometimes. Anyone else see this? Is it normal and some process I have not or should adjust?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
Mine didn't ring originally, but after rooting/adw/etc I have the same thing. Not sure what did it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2015Ducatimulti:
mines not rooted and it does the same thing rings twice when powering up and rings once powering down. I think the power rings are for the preparing SD card notice
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
I think you are right. Anyone know how to tell it to stop doing that :).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SNadler:
Mine is rooted (Thanks to Designgears!) but still does it. I have found it is not always. Will keep looking.......:mad:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] miracoli:
Hi,

i would like to compile a C-Library which is normally compiled with:

* ./configure with some parameters
* make
* make install

with the Android NDK for use in my Android Application. My Questions now is whats the easiest of getting a corresponding Android.mk file.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] grindingbob:
Hi; I am not aware of any way to avoid doing this manually. Unless this library has lots of other dependencies, it shouldn't be too much work anyway (mainly populating LOCAL_SRC_FILES, as far as I know).

I'd be interesting to see if there's an automatic/semi-automatic way to help with this though, especially if dependencies are involved.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] miracoli:
Have you done this before? Could you please describe how to do it? Whats the equivalent to the ./configure -someParameters ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vladistan:
Give a try to our AGCC script from here. http://code.google.com/p/android-cruft/

I had a good luck cross-compiling many GNU project using this script. What you need to do is just download and unpack the script then run your configure script like this

CC=agcc LD=agcc ./configure

Make sure that agcc is in your path. After you run configure you can just make the project as usual. Note that as always when cross compiling the configure script could not as many tests as it does when compiling in the native environment, so you might need to supply extra options.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] miracoli:
Hi Vlad,

i tried it, but the scripts seems tu be using wrongs Paths. I'm Using NDK Version r5b, maybe thats the problem?

Here the first few lines of output from agcc:

The Project I'm trying to compile is openpace.sourceforge.net. Maybe you have yourself a try.

Thanks so far.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] miracoli:
Nevermind, i found a way using the new standalone toolchain included in NDK-r5 and newer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JohannesGajdosik:
So please tell us about your way!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m1d4p5:
Could you help me please?

Hello miracoli and others,

I'm trying to port a C-code to Android. I use it on linux terminals since the project started and it's perfect. The project it's called ser2net (see Links.txt attached). With this project you can create a server to your serial ports in your PC, and access them with putty,telnet,etc...

I compiled it with arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc but I have no success on run it:

# ser2net
ser2net: not found

You can download the compiled binary here (see Links.txt attached) and the configuration file here (see Links.txt attached). You must copy these 2 files to /etc to run it.

I compiled it and tested on MID 7 ARM9, for EKEN M009S WM8650 processor and Sony Xperia X10 Mini. I'm not an expert about Android but I've already ported lot of GNU projects to ARM9 and ARM11 architecture with no problem.

If it helps, I also created a dummy hello.c (only to say hello) and it built and run with no problem.

If somebody know how to have it done, post here. Or, if would like to contact me, please do it on skype: antonio.spadim.

Bye

Toni

[Windows Phone 7 General] kappo78:
So I've finally joined the club and boy am I stoked. So, what are the first things one should do e.g. apps to get, slight customisation, games etc, help your fellow comrade.

I don't know if this thread has been done before, if not, maybe it could be a sticky?
[Windows Phone 7 General] malsehn:
the first advice i could give to you is: read the forums :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] radeon_x:
That's the beauty of WP7. There's no real customization to be done and no real apps to get. You're good to go!

[Windows Phone 7 General] irispen:
APPS?

download OEM apps.

download what you need. Marketplace got almost everything

customization? you mean changing the color of the tiles? LOL
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
How adorable, another android troll. There's also no lag, a good music player, no fragmentation (It's good to know I can't buy a new phone and have it be outdated next week) and hell, gaming has already about caught up with Android. You guys have more, we have better.

[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Yeah, it's pretty much a greek tragedy how incompetent these android users are "LOL my phone OS is better than yours *tap 3 times before an app finally pulls up then swipe left or right and watch the lag roll in* Yup, totally better, I troll you."
[Windows Phone 7 General] radeon_x:
Ha. That wasn't really a troll. I just meant there's no setup or critical apps you need to get the phone running. Just grab whatever catches your eye from the market and you're golden. I like that aspect of the platform compared to Android. Until you want your phone to do something a specific way, it's bliss.

Welcome to the world of WP7. Care to share which device you acquired?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I don't get it, aren't you the one who was pushing the WebOS users to outvote everything on that poll?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
If you only get two games, get...

Ilomilo

Aphajax

Both will blow your mind into little wobbly pieces of grey blancmange and raspberry sauce. And all will be well in the world.

Wait! Someone's just put QUORUM down on a TW! Bastard!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
It depends on how you look at it.

Lacking the need for customization at a low level is good (Rooting to uninstall bloatware, etc.), but there are tons of instances where you have to hack the system up just to achieve trivial tasks. Adding Ringtons to you phone, accessing Camera Shutter options, changing the default Search Engine in the Browser (T-Mobile sets it to Google, and some Euro Carrier sets it to Yahoo!). Things like that. You can't even set a home page in the browser (so even though I can't stand searching through Google, there's no way to Set Bing as the home page and just open a new tab and search from there). The OS is literally devoid of options/settings that matter. Can't even toggle between EDGE and 3G to save battery without hacking the phone (and that hack doesn't even work for some phones).

These aren't deep customizations on any other smartphone platform, but for WP7 it requires going beyond rooting or jailbreaking an Android phone. It makes Android a bit easier to use than WP7 when you factor in OneClick Root apps and the ability to sideload applications without scouring threads/the internet for information to get this done (and installing a ridiculously big SDK on your computer - nevermind the fact that it requires a Windows PC as well).

Microsoft got it wrong.

The issue with Android settigs is not that there were too many. It's the way they are presented to the user. They're generally (especially in third party applications from independent devs) just thrown in the user face on one huge page. Decently organized options in groups or tabs... there's nothing wrong with that. They need to add tons of options for the system and stock applications, because making even trivial changes to some behaviors is impossible without going through more work than loading a custom ROM on an Android phone is right now.

Minimalistic is good if you do it right (iOS). Microsoft took it to the extreme and all it does is create a ton of usability faux pas.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Actually, you're trolling him.

He means that the stock functionality in the WP7 system is above and beyond Android and iOS. And it is. Everything comes from Microsoft, integrates nicely, and performs well. Aside from Microsoft and Manufacturer Apps (i.e. HTC, LG, Samsung Apps), there aren't that many apps that you need on a WP7 device to be functional - besides games. Twitter is missing in the People Hub, so that's a biggie, and the Facebook integration doesn't include all functionality, so you need that.

I suggest Twitter, Seesmic, Facebook (Seesmic because it includes both and is a nice hub to use when you don't need heavy duty FB/Twitter functionality). Microsoft has a ton of free apps that are useful. Your manufacturer (especially if HTC) will fill in many of the other gaps. Foursquare is in the Market.

Adobe Reader is in the market. Amazon and Amazon Kindle is there. eBay has a very nice App in the market. Messenger by Miyowa sadly I have to recommend it because it's the best of any Messenger app in the market at the moment.

If you have an HTC phone you don't need a weather app. The HTC Hub Tile is Live for Weather. If not, I recommend Weather bug or Microsoft's little weather app. Weather Channel is a 9MB app and I can't see how that ridiculous size is justified given how WeatherBug and Microsoft's weather app are both < 2MB (if not 1 or below).

Microsoft has a few free games to try out. AlphaJacks is like Words With Friends for Windows Mobile ("Try It" version is free forever, but Ad Supported). Haypi Kingdom is a nice strategy game that is multi-player (also available for iOS and Android, so there is no shortage of people to play with/against).

Office Apps aren't needed (Office Mobile)

NoteTaking Apps aren't needed (OneNote Mobile)

Exchange Clients aren't needed (In-Built Functionality)

Music Players aren't needed (Zune)

Radio Apps aren't needed (Zune)

Slacker and Last.FM exist for Internet Radio.

Shazam is available with Unlimited Tagging.

Microsoft has a List App in the market (and HTC has one in their Marketplace).

Poynt, AP Mobile, IMDb, Fandango are all there.

But there aren't many needed apps, TBQH. Most apps are slower to use than the web browser because they tend to take excessive amounts of time "Updating..." Loading a web browser or performing a voice search often outperforms them, IME.

I'd get the biggies. Personally I'd avoid crap that you don't necessarily need and use the space for stuff that matters (Music, Pictures, Documents, etc.).

You can save documents from SkyDrive to your computer by opening them up from the Office.Live.com website and saving them to your Office Hub in Office Mobile. OneNote Mobile Syncs perfectly. There is an option to keep your Camera Roll in Sync with SkyDrive (this can use a lot of data if you take lots of pictures).
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Eh, no real apps to get doesn't exactly sound right. It makes it sound like anything released on this platform is bad.

To OP though, Ilomilo and Twin Blades are the only games I have that live up to my XBL expectations (and sadly I have most of them) there are other good games but Ilomilo overall. other than that Netflix is the only other one I'd deem necessary.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I knew exactly what he means when I read the post. Perhaps English isn't his first language, but it wasn't a hard statement to decipher...

Netflix is useless if you're not a subscriber, so I wouldn't deem it necessary at all. No one is going to subscribe to Netflix just to watch movies on a phone. Just doesn't make sense, IMO. If you're a subscriber, though, have it's nice to have...

The only necessary apps are those for social networking, and XBox Live Extras.

The Manufacturer Hub Apps (some/most of them) are a given.

TBQH, most smartphone OSes are like this. If the platform is missing something, like Android is, the Manufacturers usually add it in (ThinkFree Office, Amazon MP3, MobiTV, Exchange support, etc.).

One thing most of us forgot is Navigation Software. At this point if you want decent navigation with Turn-By-Turn directions, you're basically required to pay a subscription fee for TeleNav or whatever the phone comes with.

I've tried A-to-B Navigation. It's useless for all practical purposes.

Social Networking and Navigation Software are the only ones I'd say are necessary.

Also the Carriers are allowed to change the default search provider in Internet Explorer, so if you're a Bing user like me the usability of in-browser search is... terrible. T-Mobile Maps the Search button (and address bar search) in IE to Google and some Euro Carriers change it to Yahoo. Severely inconsistent and bad considering most people use the address bar to perform searches.

There is no option to change the default search provider. And performing that hack requires more manual labor than rooting and installing a custom ROM on an Android computer (and involves making registry changes, etc. on your Windows PC).
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Not only that, but I wouldn't subscribe to any version of Netflix because of the cost. I watch maybe 2 to 4 rented movies a month. And some months, none. To have to pay a fee just to use Netflix is wasteful. Yet that's how NF works. I would, however, subscribe to NF if there was no fee. The only cost would be the rental charge.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xpunksbeendeadx:
I have to say the best game for Xbox Live is the Harvest. Feels like diablo with a sci fi twist. The bad thing though is if your a typical Xbox console gamer, you won't find much that will interest you on WP7.

I swear its a new puzzle or tower defense game ever week.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
you can of course customise your lock screen, you could also install "pin to start" which apparently offers customised live tile (don't have it myself, not my type of thing". Apps wise, get the HTC You tube app if you have an HTC device, would also recommend pdf reader and the amazon kindle app (if you like books) beyond that, there are nearly 9000 apps to choose from - I think there are even a couple of "fart" apps if that floats your boat...........
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I've already mentioned Adobe Acrobat Reader X and Amazon Kindle.

Not all applications have Live Tiles, and TBH without a Live Tile an app would have to be very important to merit a spot on you home screen (no one wants a home screen that scrolls for miles). I have issues keeping Seesmic/Twitter/Facebook on the Home Screen, for example, without a Live Tile. Games like AlphaJax are good cause the Tile is Live (tells you when it's your turn and how many games you have waiting on you, for example).

The HTC YouTube app is good, but it's only for HTC devices (I already said the Manufacturer apps were a given since they fill in obvious gaps in functionality i.e. YouTube, NotePad/List App, Flashlight, Attentive Phone, Live Weather Tile (HTC), Sound Enhancer, etc.).

The customization that I say is missing isn't really "customization" in the XDA-Developers sense.

Setting a Home Page in the Browser, Setting the Default Search Engine in the Browser, and Options for things like how long you want Toast Notifications to stay on the screen aren't any type of deep customization. It's simply a trivial setting that Microsoft needs to add. These things are missing all over the OS and need to be added in ASAP. It acually makes the OS a chore to use in many instances.

They also need to make carriers unable to alter the default search engine. It sucks for people who use a certain search engine, and makes it take 3x longer to perform searches if you don't want to go through Google. There just need to be an option for the three biggies (Bing, Yahoo, Google) or the ability to allow the bing homepage to set itself as the default search engine (or Yahoo, or Google).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Adding Ringtones to you phone - I'm happy with "old phone"

Accessing Camera Shutter options - Shutter speed is automated

Changing the default Search Engine in the Browser - never use it, just use the Search button & bing

You can't even set a home page in the browser - I always start the browser from a link or from a pinned website so never need a home page

The OS is literally devoid of options/settings that matter - I'm happy with that

Can't even toggle between EDGE and 3G to save battery without hacking the phone - never felt the need

Microsoft got it wrong - or right?

My point here is that just because you need/want all these things, doesn't mean anyone else does. Clearly WP7 is not the phone for you, so sell up and move on to a different OS.
