[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashDebug:
ok this is tricky. the "Me" contact works IF and only IF your SIM card knows its own phone number. which generally does not. to check this, from home, goto

menu / settings / phone info (latest choice) / Phone status (2nd choice)

you should see somewhere in this page your own phone number.

- if you see it you simply create a "Me" contact with your own phone number, gather some picture somewhere and there you go.

- if you don't see your number (most likely you will see an entry like "MSISDN = Unknown") you have to teach your sim card its own phone number.

to do so you will need an (eeeek!!!) iphone, or a winMo phone, or some really really really old phone from the days when Snake was like angry birds. you will then have to fiddle with the settings (this is the trickiest part. i guess your best bet is googling something like "write MSISDN on SIM with <phone name>"). for Windows mobile phones, for example, you open the Sim Manager program and it's there somewhere.

remember to write your number with the +xx international dialing code.

then you can proceed to creating your "me" account and up and running you are!

I've tried the iPhone fix, no ball, I'm not sure, but I think there's something about my telco's SIM's that don't have this feature, although the best I can get out of an aussie telco is "it's nothing I've heard of so maybe it's a handset feature, call DELL."

Gah, I hate it when I know better than the dolt with the buttons…

Does anybody know of any other ways to write a MSISDN number to a SIM card?

I want to make widget that will change it's text depend from week day. I tought it could be done by mixing Minimalistic Text Widget and Tasker but I totally don't know how :) could anyone help?
[Android Themes] cruisewd:
Not really sure on the question - Minimalistic Text already displays the weekday.

Do you mean custom text that changes based on the day of the week?

Tasker has a "Day of Week" variable too, so you can switch off of that if that's what you wanted.

[Android Themes] Eurocrypt:
A rough way, but working.

Create 7 textfiles

monday,tuesday ..... sunday

In each of them put in the text You want

to be shown according to the given name of file/day

Put files in root of sdcard

In Tasker:

Make a task DayOfWeek

1:Tasker: Variable Set %LINE To 1

2:File: Read Line File:%DAYW Line:%LINE To Var %DAYSTRING

3:Plugin: Minimalistic Text Variable(Config) DAYSTRING = %DAYSTRING

Make A Profile that trigger Task "DayOfWeek" when ever You want

(Maybe at Time:00:01)

Set a Minimalistic Text Widget on homescreen Showing Variable DAYSTRING
[Android Themes] paulmz:
Hello. I just attempted this profile for another project I'm working on (trying to get Minimalistic Text to show weekdays as numbers- ie: Sunday=1, Monday=2, Saturday=7, etc.) and, although I have the text files in the root of the SD, it says it cannot find the files.

Any ideas?
[Android Themes] omgmrj:
Bump!

I was trying to find a similar solution as you. I have a Minimalist Text widget that shows the weather forecast for the next two days, and wanted to show the shortened, corresponding days of the week.

The problem you had may have been having a file extension. Tasker would be looking for "Monday" and you've given it "Monday.txt"

I nixed file extensions from my 7 text files, and it works fine.

I'm now trying to figure out how to get the same "mon" output for the day after tomorrow. I tried appending an extra letter to the filename to give "aMonday" withe the text "wed" inside, and I tried putting it on a second line in the "Monday" file. Neither worked. Any ideas?
[Android Themes] omgmrj:
For other's sake, I'd like to confirm that the former of my methods works fine. I had mistyped a string in Tasker, which caused my error.
[Android Themes] lydonw:
Despite this thread being very old, it was a stepping stone for me in getting this to work, and in a way that I think is significantly more efficient.

I was trying to set a Minimalist Text widget to display info in the following format:

TOMSweatherTEMP|TOMNweatherTEMP

TOMS=Day of week tomorrow // For the sake of this example, lets assume today is Monday. We want this to Equal TUE

TOMN=Day of week after that // For the sake of this example, lets assume today is Monday. We want this to Equal WED

My solution

Tasker Profile:DayofTom

From: 00:02 - 00:03

Task: DayofTomorrow

Task: DayofTomorrow

Variable Set: %TOMS to %TIMES + 86400 // This sets variable %TOMS to tomorrows date in seconds

Variable Convert: %TOMS Function Seconds to Long Date // This sets variable %TOMS to a long form date

Variable Split: %TOMS Splitter , // This makes the long date split into multiple variables where a "," is present. This creates 3 variables, %TOMS1, %TOMS2, %TOMS3. We will be using %TOMS1, which has become TUESDAY

Variable Section: Name %TOMS1 From 1 Length 3 // Because I wanted to show a short day name (Tues, not Tuesday), this action discards any characters outside of the first 3. Now we just need to send the variable to Minimalist Text

Minimalist Text: Configuration TOMS = %TOMS1 // This action is available through plugins. Set "variable name" to TOMS (this is what is sent to Minimalist Text). Set Variable Content to %TOMS1 (the local variable)

Now go to Minimalist Text and in the widget of your choice and add "Locale Variable" with Variable Name TOMS.

You're DONE!

To get the day after tomorrow:

Create a new profile: "DayofTomNext"

Create a new Task: "DayofTomNext"

Then use the exact same process as above, but add 1728000 instead of 86400, and replace TOMS with TOMN.

Hope this helps any who come around later.

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] joshua_tam:
Hi all,

I am wondering whether to buy a plus to learn webOS development, does anyone thinks there will be a big market share of webOS phone?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] thereddog:
I don't see why not. webOS is going to be big next year. I think every app in the market needs to be rewritten in order to work with the new Enyo framework. Now is the time to make apps
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] joshua_tam:
Great.

But what is the official version of a Pre plus has? I am wondering whether I should buy a pre plus or considering newer model.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Left Coast DJ:
I have a Verizon Pre Plus. The most recent updated version on mine is Palm WebOS 1.4.5.

Of all of the phones I've owned, or played with, WebOS is the best and most intuitive - even better than iOS. However, Palm/HP needs to get over the clunky slider hardware.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] osmosis8938:
I love my Pre. I was and still am a Win Mo diehard. Absolutely hated Android, Win7, iOS, and Blackberry. After picking up my pre I haven't looked elsewhere.

Even though it has many shortfalls, WebOS is SUPREMELY easy to use. It just feels so elegant and polished. Never once has my phone froze, stuttered, or slowed down during use. Multitasking is unrivalled.

With HP pushing new stuff out in the summer, and WebOS on PC shortly after. 2011 is going to be big with WebOS
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] seb_or_sam:
Honestly... I don't think so

Look, I love webOS- I really do. It's a great mobile operating system and is really underrated and I want to see it thrive. But I've had a Pre Plus for year now, and while I love webOS, I can't stand the hardware. The screen is small, the processor is slow (but there's always overclocking :D), the battery life is bad, and it's got a terrible build quality- I'm on my 5th Pre at least. It could be more, I've lost count. But when I went to Palm Developer Day in November 2010, I got a free Pre 2, as did everyone else who went. The Pre 2 was an awesome phone. I loved it, and I'd recommend you buy it if you're interested in webOS. It's got a much better build quality and is much faster than the Pre Plus, and it comes with webOS 2.0 out of the box. Unfortunately, my Pre 2 was run over (I'm kinda careless as you can tell) and no longer works, but for the 3 or so months that I had it, I loved it. It was a great phone, and I highly recommend it. You can get the unlocked GSM version and put whatever SIM you like in it (you'll get AT&T 3G, but not T-Mobile 3G, sorry) and you'll be good to go, or you can buy the Verizon version. Either way, the Pre2 is the way to go. Good luck!
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] vito--:
Yes, I also would recommend you to buy a new Pre 2 as he is going to get the Update to newer WebOS-Versions which will support the new development modell (Enyo which uses Javascript, you can also mix C or only use C for development).

You can get a cheaper developer Pre 2 if you register.

Just look here to get started:

developer.palm.com

I don't think that WebOS will surpass Apple or Google very fast and in this year it will "only" establish and stabilise itself. The next year is when it is getting bigger. For now there is still some room for good Applications in WebOS.

We have good Twitter, Music and Notes-Apps... But I guess if you have an idea and you kick it your idea will work wherever you try^^

A third working eco-system, especially at the start, is a big chance for "new" guys or people who have a good App which now only is on the third, fourth or fifth place because the platform where he is now already isn't very "flexible" any more and has some big established players. In such an environment he could try to make himself a name on another platform before the big ones show up.

[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
I have the opportunity to get a new phone for free and with

NO

contact upgrade, from work. I have the option of either a Vibrant (they only have a few in stock) or the SGS4G.

I realize the G2X (optimums 2) is about to land but it's not an option for me.

Pros

Vibrant- 16GB internal and an extensive dev community

SGS4G- 4G, Working GPS, 16GB sd card,

Cons

Vibrant- GPS

SGS4G- internal storage, slight shorter bat life, no a strong dev community yet.
[Vibrant General] regP:
I'd take the vibrant just because there is more development atm.

[Vibrant General] christpuncher:

[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Galaxy S 4G. 4G, and 2.2.1 are reasons enough for me. "Development" is garbage to me as none of the roms in the dev section work consistently better than stock nor do they look better. The only thing I use is the Voodoo kernel for Voodoo sound.. the Voodoo EXT4 conversion doesn't even speed everything up.. the phone still freezes up when writing new apps and etc.
[Vibrant General] TXLunchbox:
SGS4G. Winning!
[Vibrant General] AEguyNYC5:
Might as well get the 4G for the modem, but talk to them and see if they would let you get the Nexus S. Only thing is you have to go thru Best Buy but it is like getting a regular $199 two year upgrade. Doesn't hurt to ask.
[Vibrant General] ferhanmm:
Galaxy s 4g, sell it, buy vibrant, pocket difference lol
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
Those were my thoughts too, working gps and 4g, dev community will come in time. Wasn't sure if there was somsomething that I had missed in the comparison.

@AEguyNyc5

my company keeps a stock of phones, the only two I can get for free are the vibrant and sgs4g. That being said, I can sell it, which I probably will do for the g2x.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
Im waiting for the dual core handsets to hit tmo. I will prolly use a payment plan as my contract wont expire for a year or so. But if I had that choice I would get the 4g. ffc.faster data newer os. It essentially a Vibrant with a few more bells and whistles afaik. There will be development on it.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant General] AEguyNYC5:
Then there isn't much more to think about. 4G it is. You can even go checkout Craigslist or eBay. You can get much more for the 4G. Go get that 4G before someone else beats you to it!! :D
[Vibrant General] Bruce lee roy:
4g for non root. 3g for root. I seriously doubt development will ever pick up for that phone. Most devs are probably smart enough to upgrade instead of side step. Better to consider nexus s.
[Vibrant General] Deleted member 2653512:
I currently have both the Vibrant & the GS4G on a family plan. I love the TW roms & the voodoo kernels for the Vibrant. However, to me this would be an easy decision. Def the GS4G. The phone is nearly as snappy as a voodoo-ed Vibrant. And I only say nearly cuz of some menu lag occasionally. GPS never acts weird like it does on the Vibrant. Yes, even with the latest GPS fix on the Vibrant. Battery life is incredible for an initial stock rom on the GS4G. Internal storage is no issue on GS4G. Just titanium your apps to the SD card. I could keep going but I would just get into opinions. Anyways, just my two cents for ya.
[Vibrant General] Bruce lee roy:
Hope you realize everything you just mentioned, minus GPS, is software based. Vibrants are currently running 2.2.1, benefiting from battery and speed. Considering the reasons you just gave, decision should be obvious to not get 4g.
[Vibrant General] Mannymal:
Vibrant. I value the internal 16gb, and 3G is more than fast enough for mobile browsing.
[Vibrant General] Henchman:
I absolutely hated the 4g, and sent it back the minute my Vibrant replacement arrived.

And with Sweet honey, this thing walks all over the 4G.

And I really never noticed the speed difference with the 4g.

In fact, I found the lag to be aweful on the 4G.

I'm waiting for the Dualcore phones now.
[Vibrant General] Addel:
+1

I've seen the phone myself. 4g is great and all but 3g is just as good. Its really up to you. GPS is okay. If you decode to get the vibrant, flash the awesome Tom sweet honey for it really does walk all over the 4g.
[Vibrant General] Joy2DaWurld:
Exactly.

SGS4G of course. They're essentially the same phone except that has a "working" FFC and 4G. I don't understand any debate against it.
[Vibrant General] Henchman:
I found them to be quite different.

With the Vibrant performing better.

I can only contribute this to the onboard memory.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skimp Killah:
Tried Bonsai and Syndicate first, neither flashed properly first time, seemed to work on the second flash, but eventually they would start freezing occasionaly when the screen was off, had to pull out battery to reboot. Tried flashing to stock di18 then flashing to Midnight, it seemed to work for a day or so, and now its freezing a few times a day when the screen turns off. I read somewhere that in odin you only need the victory8g.pit (not sure the exact file name) if you are flashing a custom rom, and I'm only ever flashing a stock rom, then rooting and flashing from the sd card. I've always used the .pit file im odin, and I've eventualy had problems with all custom roms.

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
What version of the ROMs are you trying to use?

If you start with di18 and tried to use a dk28 ROM you would have to odin the new modem.

If you're trying the EB13 ROMs, then you want to odin the EB13 tar that is stock + recovery + ext4; then flash an EB13 ROM of your choosing.

Also, you have to be sure to wipe 3x (factory reset, cache partition and davlik cache)

Be sure to follow each and every step on the first few pages of the ROM thread your going to flash, also read some into the thread too. that will give you a heads up as to what others have experienced and what might be a problem and its fix.

Good luck!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skimp Killah:
With syndicate and bonsai I flashed the stock eb13 first, then cwm, then flashed the rom in recovery mode, midnight I flashed from stock di18, followed all instructions. Just tried midnight again, except I didnt used the victory8g.pit file or whatever, just the di18 tar, then cwm then flashed the rom.

I think me using the pit file may be what the problem was, unless you are supposed to use the pit file even when flashing a stock rom, in odin.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Are you using setcpu? Do you have a screen off profile? Are you running your phone at 1.2ghz?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skimp Killah:
Are you using setcpu? Do you have a screen off profile? Are you running your phone at 1.2ghz?

I'm not sure the answer to any of those questions, so I'm assuming no. I think the MidnightROM can run the cpu faster, but you have to download some app to turn that function on or off. I'm pretty much running MidnightRom with the regular **** on it right now. I'm thinking my problem may have been using the victory8g.pit file in odin every time I flashed to a stock rom before running clock work and flashing to a custom rom. I'm running the latest midnight off a clean flash of di18 without the victory8g.pit file, so far that seem to be the only thing I can find that would cause all the custom roms to eventualy crash...

Im going on a few hours with out a crash, but the first time it took a day or so, then started doing it more often.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
What kernel is midnight using? The reason I ask the questions I'm asking is cause not every phone can be over clocked and it causes data locks. That's what it sounds like that's happening to you. there is nothing to the pit. All the pit is mapping information nothing actually gets flashed from the pit. The full tar as that information in it so its not making any changes.

Another question I have is since you keep coming from stock are you flashing the rom twice? On the first flash wipe data, cache, dalvik and on the second flash only wipe cache, and dalvik.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skimp Killah:
I'm pretty sure Midnightnight uses the Bonsai Kernel. On the about phone section it say 2.6.32.9 for kernel version. When I did bonsai and syndicate I usually data reset 3 times and cache and dalvik or whatever, once, each time I flashed it, which was usually twice.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skimp Killah:
okay, in the phone it says Bonsai/Kernal-v3.0.0

Obviously I'm on an epic 4g. When it freezes its always when the screen is off, never during actual use. I'm not sure if that helps narrow it down. And I had an epic with a cracked screen, same freezing problems, now on a new epic, still same thing, but I assumed it was the custom roms doing it because the problem only started after that.

MidnightROM and bonsai didn't require a wipe, when I tried syndicate i wiped as per the instructions, except I did the factory reset 3 times on the second flash as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Is the bonsia kernel oced to 1.2 ghz out the box?

Try this when you get a chance.

1) odin eb13 full tar

2) run the cwm3.0.0.6 one click

3) reboot into recovery and let the auto conversion do its thing.

4) flash your rom of choose (after wiping data, cache, dalvik 3 times)

5) let the phone boot all the way up.

6) reboot into recovery again

7) flash the rom again (after wiping cache, dalvik 3 times)

8) let the phone boot

9) install setcpu and see where your clocked at

Flashed to EB13

Ran oneclick CWM 3.0.0.6

Converted.

wiped data, cache and dalvik, 3 times each

Flashed MidnightROM

it did the whole random vibrations flashing two screens thing.

removed battery and booted into recovery

wiped cache and dalvik 3 times each

flashed MidnightROM again

After the second flash it went to the intial start up screen welcoming me to the phone, that was odd, never had it do that before.

Booted to recovery again and installed market and other standard apps.

Downloaded cpu master cause im cheap,

phone is clocked at 1000

I'll let you know if i have any more problems, the whole welcoming me to the phone thing was new, ive never had it bring that screen up any of the other times i flashed a custom rom, hopefully this is a sign of good things
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
