[Xoom Android Development] int_19h:
Something very weird going on while trying to use this with Asus Transformer with a keyboard dock (= USB keyboard).

Installation & applying all updates went fine and I can log into the system easily. The problem is that, whenever I press "d" (in any application), Gnome minimizes all windows and shoves me back into the desktop! Shift+D works fine, producing "D". No other key on the keyboard has this effect - just "d" - everything else produces input as expected.

At first I thought it's a bug in VNC client - I've used android-vnc-viewer - but then I've tried Mocha and PocketCloud, and it has the exact same problem :/

Any thoughts as to what might be going on?
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
known, problem with gnome. goto keyboard shortcuts and search for one using d. remap it and finished.
[Xoom Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Don't know if it was discussed, but having written a script I found to be very similar to your install, you may want to consider "apt-get install gnome-core" instead of manually installing each component. It will save you the entire:

/usr/bin/apt-get -y -q install ca-certificates desktop-file-utils doc-base eog gconf-editor gedit ghostscript-x gnome-about gnome-applets gnome-control-center gnome-media gnome-menus gnome-nettool gnome-panel gnome-session gnome-session-canberra gnome-system-monitor gnome-system-tools gnome-terminal gnome-themes-selected gnome-themes-ubuntu gnome-utils gtk2-engines gtk2-engines-pixbuf gucharmap humanity-icon-theme indicator-applet-session inputattach language-selector launchpad-integration lftp libgd2-xpm libgnome2-perl libpam-ck-connector libsasl2-modules libxp6 nautilus nautilus-sendto notify-osd rarian-compat screen smbclient software-center synaptic software-properties-gtk ttf-dejavu-core ttf-freefont ubuntu-artwork ubuntu-extras-keyring ubuntu-sounds unzip update-manager update-notifier x-ttcidfont-conf xterm yelp zenity zip maximus

by replacing it with one command, unless you have a reason for doing the installs individually. Just trying to help ;)
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
first this was a bit different, i'll replace that part after different things like firefox are working.
[Xoom Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Fair enough. Given the EXTENSIVE nature of your project, I figured every shortcut may help. Kudos on some excellent work.
[Xoom Android Development] zehkaiser:
So I used the uninstall command in Linux... It wiped my entire /sdcard, including my external folder...
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
uninstall is just a simple

rm -fr /system/bin/ubuntu

i do not know what happened, but i have no idea how this command should wipe your sdcard folder.

edit: just tried, done exact what expected
[Xoom Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Sounds like when it ran it was somehow still mounted. That is why i just delete the folder or run those commands after a reboot.
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
mod... delete this please
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
the uninstall is just removing the script from system, not the image or its contents. the only thing can go wrong is by remounting the system partition(can maybe kill all mounts inside system). but a reboot would fix that. what would kill everything, would be to manually remove the /sdcard/ubuntu folder while everything is mounted. in this case its maybe better if i include a reboot in uninstall function so that users cannot do this after uninstall.
[Xoom Android Development] zehkaiser:
Well, I had a botched install. Lots of errors. Could have been part of the problem. I'm having a new issue now, though. I would like to install Java (not sure if it will work just yet), but I get errors saying all file systems are read only. Even the desktop... I've never experienced this. Any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
is on my todo list :-D
[Xoom Android Development] zehkaiser:
Ah, ok. Lol. Thought I missed something. :-) I'm looking forward to the updates!
[Xoom Android Development] ruvort:
Is there any work around for the shift always being on? When connected to the vnc client the shift is always on and I cant seem to find a way to turn it off. Any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
strange... on xoom? any alternative keyboard, or original honeycomb? which client?
[Xoom Android Development] ruvort:
I am on a Xoom using the Pocketcloud pro vnc client and using Thumb keyboard for my keyboard. I will test it with the regular one.
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
with android-vnc and thumbkeyboard its working fine
[Xoom Android Development] zehkaiser:
Any progress?
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
Progress:

The last day's, I played around with the kernel. I created a kernel which includes all more or less useful modules from ubuntu. This should enable the kernel to support different USB hardware, also I hoped to solve the firefox problem... until now the hope is still here :D

Also there is a bluetooth problem, which I'll hopefully solve today.

If its solved today, I'll release a new version, where at least the chromium webbrowser is working in ubuntu and the kernel. It's based on bigrushdog's tiamat, and has all 1.4.4 features. The same performance, just a bit bigger. In the future I think brd will release his tiamat kernel also as an ubuntu version, so the need for ubuntu will be then always the newest tiamat-ubuntu kenrel.

The next I'll work on will be the try to replace the vnc xserver with a real one including drm so unity can work.
[Xoom Android Development] zehkaiser:
I'm really excited about this. Any work on the read only file system issue? I'd like to install Java and some toys. :-)
[Xoom Android Development] tomxtobin:
Might I suggest throwing this project up on GitHub? It would be easier to file bug reports and make contributions that way.
[Xoom Android Development] Legend28469:
I cant install it I'm on tiamat rom 1.0 and i get

/system/bin/mount: not found (and it's really not there I checked)

/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu/tools/ubuntu: not found also not there

HELP =D
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
so concerning the first i would suggest they forgot a symbolic link. connect with adb, do adb remount, then adb shell and there

ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/mount

once again with umount instead of mount

can also be /system/xbin/busybox

the second is because of the first
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
@zehkaiser

sorry, i cannot really reproduce. had this once, but is gone. try to do a new setup. also i recommend to install onto a partition on your microsd

@all

i played around with the kernel, i could get the whole system run a bit faster, but concerning ubuntu there's no change. i need a time to try a few things out, i'm playing with the though on a own rom which is basically a ubuntu rom and supports android in a chroot env... don't know lets see. i need time to play try and fail

when there is something new i'll give you a post here
[Xoom Android Development] Legend28469:
=C Thx, new problem

after trying to link with anything It fails with error:

link Failed File exists
[Xoom Android Development] GhostOfTheNet:
can it be that you forgot to su befor ubuntu install?
[Xoom Android Development] Legend28469:
Nope I've tried that too. Kinda hard to miss that step. I've tried via adb shell and terminal
[Xoom Android Development] Legend28469:
NVM it magically started workin one day... anyways I guess I have to install a desktop to get rid of the brown screen of death?
[Xoom Android Development] Legend28469:
SWEET.. got everything working and just a report.. shes capable of compiling (I can confirm C code) =D

although execution permissions are acting up through gui and terminal =C

chmod +x and trying to change file permissions through gui have no effect on execution...

I'm gonna try and figure something out later =D

My question about this is, can i install like Tor browser plug-in and other things without risk that when i reboot i'll lose them all ? o_O
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prgopala:
I am not sure whether this has been posted in the N1 apps forum before.

I just stumbled upon this in the desire forum. Basically this is a modded GMAPS apk which has World Wide navigation enabled. This helps for people like me who stay in countries (India) where official GMAPS navigation is not enabled.

Attached is the APK file.

Also the newest version can be found at the below site.

http://translate.google.co.in/trans...t+mod&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&prmd=ivns

EDIT:

Steps to install thanks to mynameisjon

1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup in case anything goes wrong (you might wanna nandroid instead, but I find this works fine.

2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.

3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall (may be unnecessary, but I found it worked, so you can let me know if it doesn't need to be done).

4. Install this apk(it's a resigned version that's linked to the market, so you can get updates*.

5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.

*If you updated from market, Navigation will be deactivated according to Google's restrictions again, so I recommend unchecking auto-update.

EDIT: 05/12/2011

A new version is available... --> http://translate.google.co.in/trans...t+mod&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&prmd=ivns

It works as stated
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] method77:
It says "application not installed"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prgopala:
Yeah. 1 thing i forgot to mention is that you would have to uninstall existing Maps application if any. Otherwise the installation would fail.

it works. thanks

I've removed the original Google Maps 5.2.1 from Google, But it still won't install!!

What happend?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frankey81:
This worked for me:

Uninstall original maps with titanium backup, then copy maps5.2.1-ownhere.apk to /system/app with root explorer or similar. do not install
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] method77:
I uninstalled Places, Street View, My Tracks and all that before uninstalling Maps. Then it worked. Also the resign copy only worked for me
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clustered:
Thanks.... removed old using TB and install new one, able to use it.. thanks very much... :)

do you have to renamed it map 5.2.1.zip (without the ownhere) or the full name with the ownhere?

Was wondering if TS can update the OP with the following instructions.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frankey81:

are u sure that u can update via Android Market??? cause I've got message that it's not signed properly and can't be updated to 5.3 with android market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] leokan:
is there a way of installing this without rooting my phone? (obviously i cant uninstall google maps)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
You'll need root as the Map file is in system (no access to it without root)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kopaczus:
Hello,

Just installed it following the instructions, it works, thanks!

Now, can we expect a new version anytime soon? Maps are now at 5.4.0...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Yes 5.40 by ownhere is already available.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clustered:
help me... i couldn't find street view on the market... able to uninstall old map and install a new one ownhere resign... any ideas why? thx...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jameztcc:
Quick curious, if this can be done via a mod, why Google not release a WORLD version in 1st place?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Same here.

Install market enabler and emulate t mobile us sim.

Then go to market again, and street is there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Because go. released it for all countries where go has own sat maps. In countries where go has to buy sat maps navigation is disabled.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dito33:
I try to send video clips that I make which are about 400 to 500kb via

text mms message and the phone compresses it to about 50 to 70kb which on the

other side look like crap, even I sent some to myself just to see the sent videos

are degraded in quality because of the compression.

How to send uncompressed video is my question.

Hendcent is doing it same thing compressing it and chomp can't even attach

400kb video telling me is too big. Please anyone help on this issue.
[Vega General] Slipurson:
Point of View Mobii Tegra2 gets updated with 3G and GPS.

deltaco.se/support/infoSE/tab-101.pdf (havnt posted enough to add links to my post yet, hope this is OK anyway)

and its just a some €50 more expensive than the one without.

I have the model without these functions but i use ModaCo's firmware for advent vega.

Thing is that i have a slot for my SIMcard on the actual tablet, but it never got a simcard working on it, but it doesnt seem to be connected to anything, sadly.
[Vega General] sugar0:
i have that tablet too, maybe there is only the module for SIM but it's not activated ..
[Vega General] dagbro:
You need a mini-pci express 3g modem to plug in to the sim module. That's why it won't work

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwloo:
i facing same problem like u. i uninstall and then install back foursquare but still same cant log in. please help
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramtix:
uninstall the 4square from the market, I think thats the latest update that I had a problem with.And just install the 4square app from your backup, if you have one.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwloo:
i always install from market.... without market wher can i get it ?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramtix:
were you always been using foursquare? did it happen after you update? If yes. then the problem was the update. If you do a regular "backup and restore" from the dell stock backup, you should be able to restore the previous 4square app from the "backup restore ".Just click the "show advance options" before you restore then click the Applications from the Restore Data /Select the 4square app. then your good to go.

[Defy General] vick33:
I have a problem with the newest version of the Dungeon Defenders on froyo. It was smooth and stable under 2.1 but the os was crappy, so i updated to the 131, then to the 145 and after the 34.4.9 US official froyo during the past few weeks, but the problem remained on every version. Sometime the game is fully playable for hours, sometimes it freezes the whole phone, or extremely slow right after i start the game and almost impossible to quit (0.01 FPS) and i have to remove the battery. Other games like Dungeon Hunter are always good and the the problem never occured, but Sygic Aura(a GPS software) sometimes produces the same problem. The phone is rooted but not overclocked.

Anyone else experiences the same or my phone is faulty? Thank you in advance!
[Defy General] Caleb_cz:
I have exactly same problem in 2.2.1 with any 3D application (kwaak3, raging thunder). Killing all apps with Advanced Task Killer makes phone smooth again without reboot, but all 3D applications are unusable.
[Defy General] Caleb_cz:
After some searching i still haven't solution.

This http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826507 isn't working, neither this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008645

After exiting problematic application CPU usage is 0%, but phone is choppy and unresponsive.
[Defy General] vick33:
i have downgraded back to eclair and everything is good. The cpu usageis 0% but the IOW is realy high. That is why the phone is choppy. I have tried every froyo rom from 107 to 164 and none of it is working right for me. I dont know that the problem is because of the beta firmware or our phone is faulty? But if it is goog under eclair it cannot be faulty? Isnt it?
[Defy General] scrannel:
This problem has been reported even with the official/unofficial current Motor release of 2.2
[Defy General] antony.ps:
Try a stock rom withou blur, 3.4.2-155-002.

With blur, many games lag, don't start, or crash while playing. Tested in stock 2.1, 3.4.3-11, with blur. If you test in stock 3.4.2-155-02, you will see the difference.

I'm in barebones 1.4 now, playing all my games, overclocked and undervolted (300@22, 600@34, 1000@54 75 threshold).

The best game to test your Defy is Asphalt 6, if this game run, all other will run too (Dungeon Hunter II tested too).
[Defy General] teruyume:
I have done a little bit of build.prop tweak and I found it reduced the problem slightly (doesn't eliminate). Very rarely for games to lag now, but still exists in Google Map, only if you navigated a wide region.

dalivik.vm.heapsize=30m

to

dalivik.vm.heapsize=40m

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=70

to

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60

**currently using 34.4.9, this also worked on 34.4.4 (t-Mobile)**

The results are obtained from trail-n-error. Not very scientific, but you could give it a try and post some feed back. Thank you.
[Defy General] Caleb_cz:
Problems start appearing some time after phone reboot, but for now everything runs fine. Thank you very much for posting this !
[Defy General] derbestimmer:
i think i found the solution or at least some kind of workaround for dungeon defenders running on froyo. when the game starts lagging (in most cases in lobby) just press the home button und return to homescreen, slide a few times and return back to the game and it plays smoothly and laggfree as if nothing ever happened. works for me everytime. hope it does for you too.
[Defy General] Caleb_cz:
Unfortunately problem is still there, maybe its little bit better with teruyume's tweak. I found thread about this bug in official motorola forum, so let's hope someone can solve it.
[Defy General] derbestimmer:
did you try my trick?
[Defy General] Caleb_cz:
Yes, but phone is very choppy after bug appears, sliding in homescreens is almost unpossible.
[Defy General] vick33:
Because the problem occurs for me not only in Dungeon Defenders I think it has to be a known bug to motorlola nad dont release the the update this buggy. Editing the heap is a good idea i will test it tonight and reports how it is works.
[Defy General] vick33:
i edited the build prop and tried the home screen trick bot none ofthem helped.. i am on 3.4.2-155. going back to eclair agan:-)

You guys now something? i tried DefyFroyoSense and Dungeon Defenders was COMPLETLY smooth. Smoother than on 2.1. This ROM is magic.

sometimes it is smooth for a couple hours. But once it starts to lag i cannot make it to work right once again only just by restarting the phone. but i will try that sense rom

Anybody has the same problem for slow download speed for apps from Market over WiFi? My Captivate download speed is like 10x faster. A simple 40MB data takes more than 10 to 12 minutes

What is causing the slow download speed? I'm running 802.11n at 2.4 GHz both my captivate and Atrix 4G
[Atrix 4G General] Blind_Guardian:
Same issue, I've noticed it's because it goes back to cell data. If you look when you load the market, the arrows below H+ come back and start showing that you are transmitting.
[Atrix 4G General] falcon_bob:
Cell data always activates when you open the market. Pretty sure that's how it validates what apps to show you. Not Atrix-exclusive.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
Oh is that what it is? I didn't know that.

[Desire HD Accessories] DexterMorganNL:
I think the real capacity will be about 1100Mah zo 130 less then the original battery, as i'm in China right now I went one day on path to find me a spare battery for mine DHD and many just asked to high prices and I hadnt any faith that those higher Mah's would be really true.

So after looking at so many small shops in Guangzhou I came at this shop where the girl first needed look, being suprised that they where not selling battery's with false Mah's on, in fact it was a 1100Mah and I bought it just for 30rmb, all other sellers asked me about 40 a 50, one even dared ask more then 80.

The brand is Speedy, its a brand from Hongkong speedycom.hk/

It's to bad such brands wouldnt survive on eBay because most people will just go for the higher number even though the higher number is just a lie.
