[Windows Phone 7 General] ms79723:
Seriously? That's all? I'm liking WP7 already! Well..I mean those are problems and I dont like problems but I dont even go to the market on my epic and I dont use wifi...I probably wouldnt have even noticed those things if I had the device and nobody brought it up.

Well I saw that this one WP7 phone had like a 1200mah battery and it got 12 hours which is pretty impressive even with medium use. I think the one for sprint will have atleast a 1500mah so Im excited! And yeah, Android is just so damn choppy...and Android does get A LOT of things right but at the same time, they get a lot wrong...which wouldnt be a problem if they planned on fixing those issues but I just dont see any fixes in the future. The OS is too busy trying to steal the gamers from iOS...providing a smooth experience just doesnt seem top priority right now...and thats a shame.

Yeah that Arrive is what Im looking forward to. And like you say, if I dont like it im in the same boat as you... I can just activate my Epic again and it'd be all good. But I doubt I'll go back.

1. Go to Download mode, connect USB cable

2. Start Odin, load spica_jc3.ops as OPS file and anything flashable- kernel, backup4odin, rooting package, firmware

3. Except for default flashing parameters check also Debug ONLY and Parameter Clear

4. Flash

Does anyone engaged in the development Samsung GT-i7500 GALAXY.

Phone is OK performance, I do not know why no one interested in the development of ROM. The current ROM that I use is 2.2.1? Is not it just the phone challenge for programmers?

Please let me some answers!

Hi ,

I have an HD2 and use it to sync to outlook at work and at home. I am interested in getting a motorola xoom or other tablet PC. (discount codes claiming 10% reduction at PC world NOT working).

My questions are...

1. if I put android on my HTC HD2 can I sync with outlook still and carry my calander between work and home.

2. If I go for a WiFI only version of the Xoom will I be able to connect via BT/Wifi and use the phone as a portable modem Like I presently do with my laptop. And if so is it easier to do this with android or MW6.5 ?? This would save paying an extra £100 and data plan for the 3g version.

Hope someone can help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GeneralWest2010:
Easy Answer:

1. YES, even better, Android supports multiple exchange-accounts

2. YES, almost all Android Roms support WiFi Tethering in multiple ways

[EDIT]

What exactly do you mean with "sync with outlook"? If your company does have an exchange server (like most i think) and this one is reachable from the web (outlook web access) - YES.

If you`re really just syncing with Outlook you will need an HTC Sense Rom, so HTC Sync is supported (by this way you can sync with Outlook StandAlone).

Exchange syncs mails, calendars and contacts, HTC Sync does the same i think (my company does have an Exchange Server).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] felixthecat:
Thanks for your answer.

i have outlook for my calander only at work and on home laptop. I sync via usb cabel not server. could i continue this with an android version on my HD2? my mail at work is outlook but i dont think they alow you to sync this via internet due to confidentiality
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Emperor Crusher:
Yes, you can sync an Android device in many ways with Outlook. Visit www.syncdroid.net to find a large listing of software to perform the task. The have chart that lists, among other things, whether the software syncs with USB, Wi-Fi, or wireless. If you want to use USB, find the ones that sync via USB and you are set!

In case you require any logs as well do tell me how to generate those logs.

I randomly get "Fail to Create Transport" Error and sometimes there are some characters after the word "....transport" ..

Its very random so I cannot tell you in which program it occurs the most etc.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Paparasee:
Hi,

Am pretty new to Android and came across this really nice App/Widget called ColorNote. An all in one package that has a lot of features and comes in a reasonably sized package.

I'm sure many of you are already using this. The reason for the post however is not to promote this, but to ask if anyone either knows of a way to contact the author or know of an alternative to this.

What I need is an app with all the features of the above, but with a widget that is NOT a sticky post, but with something like a flip pad. That is the widget shows page 1 of the notes and then I either click an up/ down arrow to move between pages or click on the tip of a page to move between them as in the app here -> http://www.appbrain.com/app/simple-notes/hu.monsta.simplenotes

Can someone help me?

Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
Evernote is one of the best note taking apps. You can do voice notes, text notes and pictures. Web, desktop and phone apps. My only real complaint is that you can't write checkable lists on the phone app, but they are adding new stuff all the time. Oh and it doesn't have a widget, but you should still check it out.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] knytphal:
Colornote is nice for taking quick notes, like during a meeting or something.

For everything else, I also use Springpad. In the past I've gone through Catch (formerly 3banana) and Evernote both but I feel that Springpad is superior to all of them.

Ok. I downloaded 3.5.4 from the internet. Couldn't find it on the market. After it download the additional data it only has German and Austrian maps availabe to use. In the maps folder on my phone I have the Australian maps that I need. Is there a way I can get it to work on the Australian maps?

My phone product code is XEU but original is OPS. If I change that will it help so that it downloads the map I need?

In the app it does have an option to download more maps but I think all that will do is download more EU maps which are useless for me.

Well at least I now know it works, but currently maps are for a different country.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] teamnowhere:
Hello all,

I searched the forum, but found nothing related to the 2 questions I have, so it has already been asked and/or answered, please be indulgent :)

I have a 512 EU HTC HD2 with the latest BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA NAND ROM (but my question should apply to any release ;) ), and when I boot the phone, I can see:

1. The first Splash screen,

2. MAGLDR,

3. Another splash screen,

4. The bootanimation.

I succeeded in replacing the first splash screen using the NBToolFixed tool and then I understood that the 2nd Splash screen is replaced by MAGLDR on the HD2.

However I found nothing about replacing that 3rd (??) screen that appears after MAGLDR and I can't find a way to replace it.

My second question is quite simple: I'd like to create a non animated bootanimation from a single image... I followed the instructions found there, but the phone don't like it as it only displays a black screen.

Has anyone already succeeded in doing this?

Many thanks !

Edit: found what was my problem with my custom bootanimation, I was zipping the directory containing the folders part0 & part1 :)

Now it's working like a charm !

But I still can't figure out how to change to "3rd" splash screen...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] teamnowhere:
Ok so after some more research, I figured out that this additional "splash screen" (the one appearing after MAGLDR) is the bootup screen of the ROM.

I think I know the answer, but is there any way to modify this bootup screen ? :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
The only way you can change that splashscreen/bootanim is if you know how to edit the intrid.gz found in the ROM. Don't know exactly how to do it step by step but I know that's how you have to do it. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] teamnowhere:
That's a first step ;)

Anyone knows how to do that ?

I found a really interesting thread this morning: Link. It not only explains that the BootUp logo is in fact the logo.rle / initlogo.rle file located in the initrd.gz, but also how to create a knew one :)

I have generated the file and created a custom zipped ROM, I will try to install it this evening :cool:

However I didn't figured out where I can find the initrd.gz file in a classical ROM, but with a CWM one, it is easy to locate ;)

I would like to install ubuntu on my device but it seems that my kernel does not support loop device.

I now have The FroyoMOD v2.5.0.

So what can i do ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Rotundjere:
you can't install custom linux distribution on Milestone, it's FUSE/bootloader-kernel locked :(

I recommend Atmel ARM board instead, or any other ARM devices specifically designed for development purpose .. :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fxandrei:
So u are saying u cannot install ubuntu on top of android like on htc desire, shown on the site androlinux? All i need according to the site is a kernel compiled with loop device support. So it cant be done??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] crytic:
A whole custom kernel is not possible on our Milestone due to the fact that the bootloader won't load it (not signed by Motorola). I don't know if you could compile loop support as a module, but the fact that you are asking this shows that you don't know either. And if you dont know that or how it would be done, you really shouldn't bother putting Ubuntu on your mobile phone. Study linux kernels and building them, and by the time you know all those stuff you'll see that you don't need to ask the question you did! :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fxandrei:
:)

OK .

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fxandrei:
so i gues there is no way that i could put ubuntu on motorola milestone like they do here : ??? http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DannyDroid:
No.

You have been told why.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] manasgirdhar:
Thats Not actually True Guys.Ubuntu can run on top of Android easily and yes we do have the Support for Loop Kernel.The Official Android 2.1 by Motorola can And does Run linux.

It runs android and on top of that it runs Ubuntu.That way you can use both things together.I have used it.Ubuntu as well as debian Runs but they are a bit Laggy.

you can run command line directly without any hassle.But if you want to Run the GUI as well you will have to use VNC server.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fxandrei:
so what u are saying is that all the custom roms here like the froyo mod and other have kernels that do not support loop devices?

and the official 2.1 motorola rom has support for it ?

its that true, i dont undestand why the 2.2 or 2.3 roms for milestone dont have support for this.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] manasgirdhar:
As far as I know you need a fully working ext2 module on android to get it to work.I haven't tried ubuntu on any custom Rom since the ext module was released..Maybe it can work but I doubt it as the ext module does not support all ext filesystems.but ext module for the old 2.1 works perfect.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fxandrei:
well, can u tell me what can i do exactly ?

do i need to install something ? im willing to format everything :) .

it would be nice.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] manasgirdhar:
Flash android 2.1 and get root access

Backup everything from your Phone and SD Card.Format the SD card.now copy G.O.T recovery(not andronini).Then From Got recovery partition your SD card(like we did for apps2sd)and ofcourse install apps2sd.

Dowload the following:-

1)Ubuntu from the link:-http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/

2)Busybox installer...Available on Android market.Download it and then use it to install busybox.

3)Terminal..available on the market

once you download the above copy the ubuntu folder to the root of the SD card.

it should look like /sdcard/ubuntu/files(where files are everything inside the folder).

once all the above is done open terminal.type su..Navigate to the ubuntu dir in sd card and tupe sh./ubuntu.sh

once all the processing is complete type bootubuntu and it should work.Incase of any probs please let me know.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fxandrei:
so what ur saying is that this only works with the official milestone android 2.1 version ?

what about 2.2 or 2.3 ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] manasgirdhar:
Like i said in one of my previous posts i have not tried it on any custom ROM.It may work on them but i am not sure.But i doubt that it will work on ginger roms as they dont have much free memory.Ubuntu eats a lot of free Memory.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fxandrei:
well, i tryed it on 2.2 , but i get some weird messages after "bootubuntu". would i help if i post a picture or something ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] manasgirdhar:
Ya sure..Post the Screens...but as far as i know it should be some exec error..but i could be wrong..Please post the screens.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fxandrei:
So right after i connect my phone, i go to adb shell, go to /sdcard/ubuntu and run "sh ubuntu.sh" .

and after that i try "bootubuntu"
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] manasgirdhar:
That error is related to the ext module...try flashing 2.1 and then run it..that's the only way
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] fxandrei:
dang ... do u think there would be any change with the official 2.2 milestone rom ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] manasgirdhar:
Wont make a diffrence.The same kernel is used in custom and original Rom.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alson041:
I can confirm that it works on official 2.1 rom. A bit laggy though, but it works.
