[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dew.man:
In my search for no lock, I ran across a few apps on the market that did this as well. Don't remember which ones, but if you search on 'no lock' a few of the apps that come up do exactly what you're looking for - you just have to put in the time and go through them...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] kevin@TeslaCoil:
The stock motorola slider and the PIN/Password security are all the same screen and cannot be interacted with separately in any standard manner. I'm looking into alternative ways of doing this, but they're very complicated even with root. Pattern is less strictly tied to slider, and already works better in 2.0 with WL 2.0.1 improving it more, but motorolas slider in front of the pattern is very difficult to deal with too.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nightwolf99:
Me personally I love using my fingerprint locker instead of the slider, it's quicker and more efficient. Just a quick heads up
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aquariuz23:
I'd love using it too if it doesn't keep missing my fingerprint. Sometimes it could take up to 3 or 4 times to unlock. Don't know why.

So Im now using widget locker. Awesome app.

Anyone try to load the full update on their NC?
[Nook Color General] dalkor:
I kinda doubt that it exists.
[Nook Color General] Robertjm:
Sorry if this has been discussed, but search seems to have been down for a couple of days now.

Recently I renewed my library card and so wanted to check out reading borrowed books on my rooted Nook Color.

My main computer is a desktop running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, which has Adobe Digital Editions successfully installed under WINE 1.3x. I can check books out from my library and then it downloads the .acsm file to my computer. Then, when I click on the .acsm file the book opens in ADE just fine. However, that's where I'm stuck.

When I plug my Nook Color into my computer via the USB cable, ADE never sees the Nook Color for me to authorize it. I'm also running Calibre, and when plugging the Nook Color in it sees the device just fine and I'm able to transfer non-DRM'd books to it. When trying to transfer the files through Calibre, Calibre immediately tells me there's an error and there's no software to read the file on that device (paraphrasing error msg).

Has anyone using Linux been able to successfully borrow books from their library and upload them to their rooted Nook Color?

Thanks!

Robert
[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
I use Overdrive Media Console on both my Nook and my Nexus1. I have been able to check out DRM'ed epubs and audiobooks (MP3, but not WMA) from my library, download them into device via wifi (or 3G too for the Nexus).

Unfortunately there isn't a desktop Linux version of the OMC software (there is Windows and Mac), but you don't really need it. It even supports the automatic deletion when the lending period is up :)
[Nook Color General] Robertjm:
Thanks for the reply. I did install OMC. However, wwhen I follow the download link on the browser page it takes me to another browser page with HTML-looking text on a white background. Am I doing something wrong, or is the software acting up?

[Nook Color General] vanneop:
The same thing happened to me yesterday. After several attempts in Dolphin, Opera, and native nook color browser, I was able to download my book using the latest version of firefox.
[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
The first time I tried with OMC on Dolphin HD, I got that same HTML screen. I either moved the storage location to the SD card or just rebooted (not sure which or both), but that fixed it in Dolphin. YMMV
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vsboxerboy1:
Hey guys,

I'm in the very very early stages of my masters work and I was toying around with the idea of using an Android tablet for part of it. I want to ask you devs what can be done when modifying the Android OS itself specifically in terms of a few things.

1. Logins - I would like to implement a classic user/password combination with levels of access for user, administrator, and some sort of superuser.

2. Restriction of User account - I would like to lock the user into one particular application. It must be relaunched when the device is booted and if the application crashes (hopefully not!) it must be restarted. Additionally, no market access, web access, etc.

3. Remote management if possible

4. Data encryption if possible

5. Prevent anything from being introduced from USB ports, SD slot, etc if unwanted.

I guess this brings me around to - is Android even the most suitable platform for such an endeavor. I'm not sure, to be honest, but I would love to get into development myself and this seems like a great way to learn. This is all just one part of a much larger project that I don't want to discuss just yet so sorry for being lax on details.

Thanks guys!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lisurgec:
Android runs a virtual machine system called dalvik, in which each application gets it's own insuranceof the machine. It's implemented in such a way that each application gets assigned a user id, which unfortunately for you means each app is a different user, at least to the system. That's going to be a major wrench in the multi user plans. taking that into consideration, to have the same level of control over your tablet you'd have to give even the most basic user level "root" access or else the apps will start crapping their collective pants. As far as unwanted usb, there are a few apps that implement this functionality freely available through the market. Same with remote management. What I haven't seen yet is total encryption and I don't know enough about it to say it's possible or not. Seems feasible though.

My advice: write a custom login screen widget and then bake all these features into a pretty rom.

I used that app to use tools reset then reboot and that did not work
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
You can try this to see if it works.

1. Uninstall GPS Status

2. On your phone, go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All>Maps and then click on Clear data

3. Reboot into Clockworkmod recovery

4. Clear cache and Dalvik Cache

5. Reboot

6. Start Maps first before anything else.

Hope that works for you!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtrimble123:
Thank-you very much but unfortunately it still did not get GPS lock
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
There are known issues with CM7, namely GPS issues; everyone is at a bit of a loss as to the actual cause which is causing the delay in fixing.

Your best option, if you need GPS, is to use a stable ROM and not an RC or nightly (as CM7 is); RCs and nightlies are known to have issues, they are released by the devs in order for the more tech savvy users to help them find bugs.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
GPS Status, GPS Toolbox, etc. are all Market available apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] symbolism:
For some reason, no matter which roms I use the Navigation doesn't seem to work though. I've tried MIUI, Virtuous, CM7, and I even reverted back to stock rom I backed up and the navigation never seems to detect my gps. In maps, the GPS locks my location fine, but turn by turn direction doesn't seem to work.

Could someone maybe point me in the right direction?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
Are you sure you are using GPS in maps and not your WIFI (which is mapped by google...) to position yourself?

Turn WIFI off, get outside in the middle of your garden and then start maps. Does it position you to the spot or does it stay inaccurate? If it's the latter, your GPS never (?) worked and you got positioned by the location of your WIFI.

What is your radio version (26.0x.xx.xx) and which ROM are you on exactly?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneybagsxp:
GPS fix? Try flashing radio.

Had the exact same issue, found that all my GPS issues were tied to radio. Flash back to most recent stock version and see if that fixes it. Worked right away for me, regardless of GPS Status, cache cleansing, etc. YMMV
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] symbolism:
Using my HSPA network (no wifi) and Google Maps "My Location", the accuracy is 600 meters. I'm not sure if that's considered working, but the most frustrating part is that Navigation always just says Searching for GPS. I started off from stock radio radio rom post OTA, then tried to flash:

Latest radio I'm using btw is 12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27

Also, ymmv, I've heard some people saying they got big battery drains going to the latest radio, and also some had the same result going to the AUS radio (which apparently has good service).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
@symbolism: Ugh, I have no idea about MIUI, but the latest radio does/should fix GPS problems on the latest CM7 nightlies. Anyone else experiencing the same on MIUI in any of the MIUI threads...?

@martonikaj: the AUS radio *is* the latest radio ;) It's the 26.06.something... And I'm one of those experiencing excessive battery drain. It seems to be the connection to the network (Network standby) which sucks my battery empty...

How to use HxD Hex Editor: I Believe Most Of You Knows How To.

(Changing Status Bar Font Color To White) Other colors may work to you can try.

Download Files: HxD Hex Editor 1.7.7.0

By now most of you should have the Framework-res.apk with you. Inside the apk contain images & XML for the android theme. You can mess around with the images & the xml.

But what i'm about to teach you all here is basically changing the font color of the status bar.

Go inside the framework-res folder that you have extracted. Go to this directory: framework-res\res\layout

Look for a file named status_bar.xml

[attachment=69761:1_1.png]

Now once you have found it. Open HxD Hex Editor and drag status_bar.xml into it.

Now once you have done that, press the search tab and click find 08 00 00 1C. change text string to hex value.

The first one should come out: [Now in the photo you see the red box Change it to FF FF FF.]

[attachment=69762:2_2.png]

We are not done yet. Do The same thing again search for 08 00 00 1C.

This is what you should get: [Now in the photo you see the red box Change it to FF FF FF.]

[attachment=69763:3_3.png]

One you change it save it but don't close it just yet. There's another few more steps you need to do.

Now search for 39 00 01 01.

You should get this: [Now in the photo you see the red box change it to 1C FF FF FF FF.]

[attachment=69764:4_4.png]

Now save it and close Hex editor. Open your framework-res.apk with 7-Zip and drag your edited Status_bar.xml in it and save.

Use o2bupdate.tar.gz to update or you can simply use adb usb. Remember if you use o2bupdate.tar.gz the should contain \system\framework\ in order for it to be updated. save goes to service jar.

Now this is what you should get after the update :

Then the error keeps getting popped up. But the recipient actually receives that mesaage like 7-8 times. This has happened to me write a few times now. Please help me!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
Happens quite a few times with me. It hasn't happened in awhile. Same thing happens to me also. It's difficult to know if it went through or not. Tell people you text about this and if they see the same text coming through to not think anything of it. It might go away after awhile.

I don't know if it's fixable or what. Try update your profile and prl and see if it helps. Try stock rooted also. It used to happen on my epic kinda often a few months ago. Now that the gf has it, I switch back and forth between the shift and evo. I don't remember seeing that lately.

Older versions of google voice was really bad at that too. Now it's acting better. Shift is running stock rooted and evo is running what came with autoroot package, which is sprint lovers I believe.

Maybe the december evo update and the new shift have those bugs worked out. I will have to ask the gf if it's happening to her. I haven't seen duplicate messages lately from her so maybe it has been fixed in my area.

help, stuck in bootloader/recovery

« on: Today at 01:48:03 AM » Quote Modify Remove

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

stock 2.2 3.29 rooted w/unrevolked.

any help is appreciated.

So I was looking into roms and I downloaded ROM manager 3.0.1.1. Thats when my trouble started. I did a back up with the rom manager and it wiped my old nandroid back ups and I was stuck in bootloader/recovery and couldn't restore my back up. I do an nandroid back up about once a month and they were all gone. I did back up my sd card in december and I had an old back up on it and I flashed it and it worked.

Tonight I tired to flash an older version of clockwork (like I had before) and I'm stuck at the bootloader/recovery again. I tried to restore an old nandroid and nothing seems to work.

I'm open to suggestions.

Should I try to flash a new rom and start over ?

any way to get my old customized rom back ? (I have the clockwork back ups)

thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conductive:
I wonder if it does not like your sd. I am thinking try a different sd or see if you can format yours.

I also do not like ROM managers. They always seem to want an upgrade and then when you do the upgrade your old backups may or may not be compatible any more. To get your old file back you would probably have to run an unerase or some type of debug program on the sd card. erased files are not really erased they just have an F5 in front of them to tell the computer that the space is availible. If you have a backup on your compter or old SD I think you should be able to that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman722:
I did check for errors on my SD card, nothing bad there.

I put a PC36IMG.zip on my SD and when I try to install the zip from my sd it says operation aborted.

I think my entire problem is the fact that I have clockworkMod recovery v3.0.0.5. I've read (after) that anything after 2.6 is not going to play nice with my evo.

I tried downloading a stock rooted rom and I cannot flash it. Anytime I boot the phone it stays on the HTC EVO white screen, I can hold down the - and power and I can go into HBOOT/fastboot/bootloader/recovery, then it cannot find the PC36DIAG.zip, and PC36ING, and a few others.
