[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
U can back the apk up with titanium back up and then go to the folder on ur SD card and take the apk from there
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
It is found in data/app. If it's a protected app it's in data/app-private. Or you could use astro to back up the apk. Titanium backup doesn't just backup the apk, it's in different files. Or you could backup with titanium and then restore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmap516:
Great, thanks! So all apps, no matter the source will be found in one of: /system/app, /data/app, or /data/app-private, as long as they're installed on internal, correct?

Once I rip the .apk, can I rename it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Yeah, should be, I've never seen anything installed outside of those directories. I personally just use root explorer, that way I can do anything straight from the phone. It's well worth the convenience. You should be able to rename the apk to anything you want, especially if all your doing is putting it on the SD card to install.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmap516:
Now, if I found an app had a .zip installed in /data/app and an apk installed in /data/app-private and I want to try to install it on CM7, should I adb push the .zip first to /data/app then adb install the apk? or just adb push both to their respective directories?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I would think you could just regular install the apk. Put it on your sd card & install using a file explorer. As for via adb, I'm not sure. I copied a protected apk to my SD & installed through Astro, it installed to /data/app and was no longer protected so I think the apk by itself would be fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Hate to disagree but u can backup with titanium back up then go to the titanium backup folder on ur SD card. It stores two files per apk. One is ur data for the apk the other is the apk. It just uses weird names on the backups. Much easier than using adb to pull apk or a file manager to go on a hunt for an apk all over ur phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
Titanium backup can backup apps and data. If you backup the app, you will have 3 files...data only creates 2 files. Apps can be find in /system/apps, /data/apps, /data/app-private, and also in .android-secure on your sdcard. I recommend root explorer to pull the app though. If its a sense only app, it may not work in AOSP.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
You are partly correct. It crease three files. One is ur data from ur app another is almost useless and the last is the actual app. I pull apps that way on a daily basis for theming or looking at how other apps r themed.
[Nook Color General] sigma0824:
I am having a wifi connection issue with CM7 nightly build 14&15. When i try to connect to my wifi it allows me to type in my passcode then proceeds to attempt the connection. It appears to be caught in a loop or something. Under wifi connection it shows scanning, connecting, then disconnected then it repeats. Wifi works fine under stock unrooted, rooted and nookie froyo SD. Does anyone else have this issue? I cannot post to android development yet. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] Tenburn:
I have a clean flashed 15 right now, and wifi is working stellar. Did you by chance not format cache/data, and still have a bunch of saved hotspots in wireless? I know a fix earlier was to "forget" all the saved wifi hotspots, and resave them.
[Nook Color General] philliyxx:
Same problem I have been experiencing among others. It seems like if your router is using WPA you will have problems connecting. Switching to a different security encryption or wiping all remembered access points seem to be the only solution that I know of.
[Nook Color General] sigma0824:
Yes, I formated system, data and cache when installing. CM7 works great on my Evo 4g, strange. I tried forgetting the hotspot and received the same error. Will try an unencrypted hotspot and will report back. Don't really understand why I am having this issues and others aren't. Thanks for the replies.
[Nook Color General] philliyxx:
I've seen like 6 other people with this problem its not just you.
[Nook Color General] mallinj:
I'm experiencing the same problem of Wifi flashing on and off when I try to connect to a WPA encrypted router. Will try to Forget saved networks and see if that solves the problem. I'm running phiremod's version of CM7.
[Nook Color General] sigma0824:
Mallinj. Same issue here with phiremod. Forgetting did not work for me. Let me know what happens for you. Thanks.

Guys check out my thread. I was having the same wifi loop problem.

It's [Problem 1]

[Nook Color General] Dahsar:
I had the same issue toggling airplane mode on and off fixed the issue for me however the little airplane icon stayed for a while then just disappeared after a reboot
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
That wifi file is named nookie froyo. This definitely works for cm7?

Usually what I have to do is some voodoo with toggling airplane on, then let wifi loop for about five minutes before it finally connects.
[Nook Color General] Nburnes:
Been having this issue as well, what I have been doing when it has been switching on/off in the Wifi Settings is hitting Menu > Advanced settings and waiting a few seconds and it usually connects just fine.
[Nook Color General] ChickenGod:
Yeah it works. It takes the working wifi file from nookie froyo and pushes it to your CM7 file.
[Nook Color General] sigma0824:
Has anyone submitted a bug report with cyanogen yet?
[Nook Color General] Tenburn:
I am really hoping I don't start having this problem. The nookie froyo wpa_supplicant file for me was never connecting to ad-hoc, and right now I am connecting to anything.

[Nook Color General] time pilot aka:
I had this same problem yesterday morning. What I had to do was forget my network's settings, turn off wifi, then go turn off my router, turn the Nook's wifi back on, let it sit for a few seconds, turn my router back on, then try to connect. Strange as it sounds, this actually worked.
[Nook Color General] sigma0824:
Time pilot aka, Thanks for the tip! Will try it later today.
[Nook Color General] sigma0824:
Finally

I was able to solve my connection loop issues. I tested WPA and WEP on my D-Link Wireless N router DIR-615 with no success. Tried toggling on and off with airplane mode. Tried forgetting my router, turning things on and off at different sequences and intervals.

Then I set my router to B&G only. Basically turning wireless N off and it worked like a charm. I am able to connect using any encryption method. So from my experimenting it was the wireless N protocol that was the issue.

For people out there with issues and want to keep their wireless router encrypted try turning wireless N off. Worked for me.

Thanks everyone for their input.
[Xoom General] nubsors:
I think I know the answer to this but I just want to confirm. I currently don't have a Verizon subscription and am only using the Xoom with Wifi. When an update comes, will I be notified and will I be able to get it?

I assume I will because the Wifi only version of the Xoom will probably receive the same exact updates.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Updates come from Google's servers, so yes.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
I am pretty sure they will all get the OTA updates, but regardless it really doesn't matter. Although I suppose it would be nice for some to know. Activated or not, the Android community will always have an alternative "offline" method for installing the official update like they always do. You know how awesome the dev teams are. So you will always get your latest official stock Android update just as if it were OTA straight from the big guns themselves. :)
[Xoom General] mariovi:
I have two Nexus ones, when i powered the second one, no sim card, and i connected it to wifi i received the OTA update immediately.

So i think yes, unregistered users will get the OTA via wifi

They need to add the thanks button to the app.

Is there any chance to be a carrier issue because it uses A-GPS?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceres66:
Never experienced any GPS problems since I purchased the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexcinci:
I´ve been doing some tests and my conclusion is that the GPS on 2.3.3 is little bit better. For me, it fix better but if in movement, it takes too long.

I use GPS test to monitor the signal... before, I was able to see (not to lock or fix) the signals in my living room. Now, inside the house never get a single satelite. But if you go outdoor, even on cloudy day (its been raining for 10 days now) in less than a minute took 8 sats and lock some seconds after.

it is obvious that if you want a real GPS, buy one...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NVMENOR:
Getting a fix with 2.3.2 was a piece of cake, very fast and accurate, now with 2.3.3 it’s an odyssey to get the first one, almost 2 minutes. Any suggestion to improve the time that gps needs to get the first fix?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
not really.. the first one has to ALWAYS be on if you want location, with the first one enabled only.. it'll detect your location via towers / network

with the second one enable, its able to precisely track your location providing accuracy on the street.

3rd: turning WiFi on

turning all 3 of those on will guarantee pin point position. but usually i only have to go to at least 1st and 2nd for it. these tips were found in Google Maps
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScotchtapeLoser:
I had a slow gps lock problem when I went to 2.3.3. I flashed the radio image and my gps is working like normal now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinatosk:
I tried the older radio myself last night. Got GPS fix in less than a minute. I later put kb1 or kb3 back and just takes too long to get a fix position. 1 to 2 minutes and even then its slow at updating my location on screen. Cuts out alot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NVMENOR:
I just flashed KB3 radio and I can say that It got better, 11/11 satellites and very fast fix in my first try. Thanks for the advice ScotchtapeLoser.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinatosk:
how you find out how many satalites your phone gas found?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NVMENOR:
I use "GPS status" app from the market.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bikers:
i use AXURA, what radio should I flash for the gps to work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
I also noticed that GPS locking takes noticeably longer on 2.3.3. It can be really annoying. Have others also had success going back to the KB1 radio?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinatosk:
I've tried kb3 again. It does seem better. I'll stay with kb3 until google comes out with a new update.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhl7:
i get better performance on KB1. i compared my G2 and NS using GPS status and found that the NS picks up more satellites (9-11) Vs my G2 on KB1 as opposed to KB3. i get even less sats with JK8 (<9). Running RC2 and Netarchy

[General Questions and Answers] jinho11050:
I want only two icons for my dockbar with the icons being on the opposite corners. To do this, I need to set dock icons to 5 inorder to add icons to both sides. Unlike launcher pro,adw has a weird + icon to indicate nothing is assigned to that dock column. I jus want to make it transparent. Any way to do this? Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
You have to make a shortcut to something. In desktop visualizer you can choose to "do nothing", but I think this may only be possible for widgets, not shortcuts. Just get a transparent icon and use as the icon. You can change the icon by long pressing on the shortcut on the dock then tapping the icon to change it.
[General Questions and Answers] jinho11050:
Thanks for the quick reply. Is there a way I can create a shortcut to do nothing?
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Long press & select custom shortcut. Under activities choose desktop visualizer. At the bottom choose none (empty activity) or something like that. Then change to a transparent icon.

Of course you have to have it installed to do this, but it'll work :)

What exactly is in Services.jar? Anything ROM specific? Or is that a file that is generally not edited?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Not exactly sure 100% but it does control some text colors such as clock and pulldown ticker color. I believe the incapped data controls are also a services.jar edit

You can open a jar file with a zip utility like winzip to dig through it...

I've used it on the stock battery for about 2-3months now with no noticeable side effects. Battery stays at 100% for a little while, instead of dropping 10% depending on where the battery was during it's on/off charge cycle with non SBC kernels.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
I am pretty sure the so called "problem" with SBC kernals is a result of people buying cheap crappy chinese batteries, having one or two die, and not wanting to be blamed for them buying crappy batteries blamed something else. "OH SBC DID IT!"

Been using SBC kernels for awhile now, on multiple roms, and experiencing AMAZING battery life. With zero problems twords stock and 3500 ma batteries. I run this kernel on my company phones that are rooted as well. on average over 10 devices at a time with 0 compaints to date.

Vaelpak went back to a crappy kernel on his new 3.2 and my battery life started sucking it up again. Flashed back to SBC for Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 Non-HAVS v7. Ive found that to be the best when it comes to draining.

Even under heavy use I still get a solid 12 hours of battery on my 3500. Thats running GPS, Wifi, wifi tether, lots of emails, texts, and other communications on a busy day. During slow times Ive gotten a single charge to last 57 hours of light usage. That was with wifi and bluetooth enabled the whole time and juice defender running as well.

I have since recently dropped juice defender, and only using SBC, and seeing ~ 30-35 hours before full drain on normal usage.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
Hi guys this is my first tutorial on xda and i hope you enjoy it. This is a mini guide to put battery drain fix on CM7 by mik_os.

This is a thread for those that don't wanna search manually how to put fix in CM thread.

1.Download Gscript from market

2.Long-touch an empty space of your home:

-Add item

-Add shortcut

-Gscript Lite

4.Now a little screen will appear.Do not touch anything.

5.Press menu key and select add script

6.Now another little screen will appear.Set your script title,and ensure there's a tic on "Needs su" checkbox.

7.In "script"textbox type:

iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15
iwconfig wlan0 power on

10.Tap "save"and select your newly created script

11.Turn on Wi-Fi

12.Run script shortcut

DONE!

TIP:To ensure that you have fix on type this in Terminal Emulator:

iwconfig wlan0

With Wi-Fi always on check Power-Tx value. It must be under 20. If it is not,run again script and check again.

YOU MUST RUN SCRIPT EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON WIFI
