Do NOT use ROM manager with the 1.2 bootloader (TnT-lite 5.0/TTx .9.02).....bad things happen, I know....I tested it extensively after upgrading and it can result in a soft brick requiring nvFlash to recover. It does work very well with the 1.1 bootloader (TnT-lite 4.x.x and lower) but you must use the correct .08 CWmod for it to work correctly. It is not compatible with the modified CWmod built for TTx .9.xx

Yeah, I was afraid of that and will remove RM this morning. I guess the first post will have a link to a 5.0 compatible version of CWD. I'll grab that and put it on. Thanks for the heads up.

Password Protect?

I need to put a password onto my Gtab since I travel a bit and it contains proprietary information that I would not want prying eyes to see should I lose it or it is stolen. I have Mylookout on it so that I can destroy info but that would only happen if they were connected to wifi.

I went in looking for the usual android password setup and there isn't any in 5.0, or at least none that I can find. How can I accomplish this, I would really like to get this done because my only other alternative would be to flash back to another rom that still has a password lock in place.

[G Tablet General] mscdex:
Hello, I've got TnTLite 5.0 on my gtab and I notice that I cannot connect to my Linksys router when it's set to disable ssid broadcasting. The gtab says it is out of range (it's already saved as a remembered entry in my wifi network list). However as soon as I enable ssid broadcasting on my router, it automatically finds it and connects without a hitch.

Is there some setting I can enable on my gtab somewhere that'll let me use hidden networks?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've mentioned this before, but imo Android security is a joke (even the ones with password locks). Modded ROMs are especially bad, as they are rooted and have debugging on. But even a stock device would be easy to crack, for someone who knows how to use Android. And the recovery process on a gTAB is not secure at all, even with stock - flash an update.zip with root and an altered boot.img and you are in -- and the data isn't wiped at all.

Think Windows 98 security - sure, there was a logon screen, but everything was FAT/FAT32. Once you have the physical device, pull out the HDD and make it a slave off another device and you have access to everything. I find Android to be similar in its security (there is none).

I don't put anything on my tablet like my financial info, SSN etc. I go as far as adding my Amazon and Google passwords only, but that's about it -- I can at least change those passwords if they get compromised. My tablet device is for modding and content consumption, only.

My laptop gets used as a true mobile PC -- I can use things like Truecrypt to lock down my entire partition with AES encryption. No worries there if my laptop is stolen. Until I see something like Truecrypt on Android (and someone keep my honest here if perhaps that exists) then I would never put information on my GTAB that is highly confidential / sensitive in nature.

I have a router (my FIOS Actiontec one) and I use that to test hidden SSID's - I don't have an issue with mine (I usually use stock or TNT Lite, at least recently - also gADAM). Try WEP or no encryption, just as a test of course.
[G Tablet General] mscdex:
I tried no encryption. If it helps any, I'm using dd-wrt on the router. I should also note that my ubuntu netbook has no problem connecting to the same wireless network using Network -> Hidden Network in wicd.
[G Tablet General] bobtran:
Try adding the Wi-Fi network:

Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi Settings -> "Add Wi-Fi network". This worked for me some time back.....or, turn on the broadcast, connect, then turn broadcast back off and then see if you can still connect.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
My other router is a DD-WRT'd Cisco 160N. I haven't hidden it in awhile, but I believe it did work with my GTAB when it was non-broadcasting.

Btw, non-broadcasting SSID's can be found fairly easily - I believe if there's a device communicating with it, a Wifi sniffer will find it. Same for MAC lock-down - physical addresses can be sniffed (and thus spoofed).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KBHomes:
Hi there, first post but I could use some assistance.

I took the stock emulator image that's included with the dev tools and ran (I believe, this was a bit ago) viewbin.exe, cvrtbin.exe, and dumprom.exe on the image (basically the same technique that's used to dump the Zune firmware), resulting in all the files.

In particular, I'm looking to reverse engineer the MTPZ protocol, so I looked at MtpHandshakePlugin.dll which seems to be just what I need based on the strings contained within. When I load it into IDA Disassembler, IDA correctly finds strings and the exports and imports and what not. The problem is, it can't seem to find any function declarations or code. The only code it auto-analyzed was the start function, which was two instructions, the second instruction being a jump into a memory location it couldn't find. Prior to analysis IDA informed me that MIPS (the architecture of the image) supported memory mapping and that I could manually map addresses.

So, I assume that this jump address is memory mapped and I have to figure out where to map that to, after which IDA should be able to find all the code. The problem is, how do I know where to map the address to?

Long-ish post, I know, but any help would be much appreciated!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] n0psl3d:
Hi,

Your problem is that IDA is using the wrong machine type. The DLL's are X86 from the emulator not ARM. You need to switch the machine type in the PE header to X86.

I typically just do this by hex editing the byte sequence C0 01 to 4C 01 but you can use any PE editor for this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KBHomes:
Ah, you are absolutely right. The thought crossed my mind earlier but I quickly dismissed it. Everything seems to be analyzed perfectly.

Thanks a ton!

Doesn't seem to work on HeroTab X5A android 2.1 :(

Installed per instructions and restarted tablet. Does not show up when I choose to add widgets. did I miss something?

I should be more clear in what I tried....I copied the AppWidgetPicker-1.2.3.apk to the /system/app folder. I then restarted my tablet. But when I long press on the screen and am presented with Widget option the only widget that is shown is the Google Search widget.

Double checked the file permissions ont AppWidgetPicker.apk. Apparently it did not have the correct permissions r-w-x. I incorrectly assumed that copying the file to the /system/app folder it would inherit the correct permissions.

Anyway, working great now.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] eyals76:
Hi,

I am very new to android and all that it is about.

My wife's phone had some water damage and was repaired for free via a friend's friend. However for somereason they flashed it with the localised orange version (froyo 2.2) and this version has things we don't need and is lacking some features, before that it was a 2.2.1 stock unbranded version (the device was imported from HK) which I would like to go back to, but I am unsure which of the files in stock rom thread I need to download.

What is the difference between the different files (other than the version number) and what is the difference between the regions?

Currently the phone is:

PDA:I9000JHJP8

Phone:I9000JHJP5

CSC: I900PTRJP8

Thanks in advance :)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Original Android <3ers!:
Will the Samsung Epic 4G ever get official CyanogenMod Support? I just got one and opened it this morning and I'm regretting it a little bit. I could still change it for the Evo, but I like this phone, so I was just wondering if more developers will support this device and if it'll ever have official CM support...? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Definitely stupid, no kinda about it.

If you had bothered to look around for less than 5 minutes you'd have seen that there is currently a CM7 port in progress that meets criterion for Official support and just needs to be submitted to receive official support.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Original Android <3ers!:
Damn I didn't know you could Search my entire history and see that I didn't read that Thread? Oh wait, you can't... and hold on, I did.

It is just a port though. When's it going to be submitted? And also, how about Gingerbread? Samsung's been known for leaving a lot of their phones behind... you think we'll ever get Gingerbread or not?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
It will be submitted when it's complete, if you read it like you say you did you would know that, and the Evo doesn't exactly have an official Gingerbread either so that would hardly be a logical criterion in keeping the phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Original Android <3ers!:
Yeah, but it does have official CM7 support, and if you asked me which manufacturer I'd believe in more to provide me some Christmas Treats, I'd say HTC. Oh, and the neighbors loud music.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustinmatthews87:
Hey I traded my evo for an epic and it has its pros and cons. It really is a much better device, better screen, faster, and it has the physical keyboard. The big down side is there is not as many devs on it.

There is a team right now working on build CM7 from source for the epic so it will then be supported by the cm team. They are getting close but there still are some bugs.

If I was you I would hold on to the epic its a pretty damn good phone.

Edit: CM will only support a CM rom if its built from source, so as right now its not supported by cm. But from what I understand they are still helping.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Original Android <3ers!:

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] RollTyd:
I have an HTC TP2 6.5 with a awful habit of freezing solid. By that, I mean the screen. I previously had a TP2 6.1, which (tragically) lost a hard-fought battle with water.

I bought a TP2 6.5 from an individual on Amazon. It arrived with water damage (solid red rectangle on stylus-side beneath back cover). The seller promptly replaced the first phone with another. Initially (about 3 days) it was great. Then the freezing began. I fixed it once and it froze again within 3-4 hours.

Now to my question: Can WinMo 6.5 be reverted to 6.1? I would almost give an arm, leg & one testicle to do so.

Thanks for any & all help!!

Originally, this was a thread to post my custom flash screen, but I just changed the title of this thread to better serve the community. You can now reply to this thread to post your own flash screen. It'd be convenient for people to be able to browse through them all in one thread :)

Here is mine to start with:

A few important things:

- It may look rather dark, but your phone's brightness is really high for flash/splash screen, so it will look much more vibrant and cool on the phone itself.

- I made most of this splash screen, except for "the robot sitting on the mouse." The artist who created it is Kirsty Pargeter, and it can be purchased from here:

http://www.clipartof.com/details/clipart/96815.html

or

http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-48853705/stock-photo--d-render-of-robot-with-a-computer-mouse.html

- I made this for my personal use. If you choose to use this image, please make your own purchase of that "robot on the mouse" image from the above website. If you don't, I am not responsible for any copyright trouble you may face. (not that there would be anyone inspecting your phone when it boots up, but one never knows ;) )

If you don't have a dropbox account, you could help me gain extra storage by creating your own 2GB free account by following this link: http://db.tt/77uk7GA

If you already have dropbox or don't want to create an account, you can still download it from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23148420/Android Ex splash.img

If you don't know how to install, here's how:

Make sure you have ENG S-OFF.

1.Rename the downloaded .img file to splash.img and put it into sdk/Tools folder

2.Reboot phone into Fastboot USB

3.Open command line and cd to where fastboot.exe is located.

4.Then type

fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

5. Once it's done, reboot by typing.

fastboot reboot

You should now see the custom splash/flash screen.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmat:
Hey guys... long time no see..

Before I start -- I know very little about Android, so be gentle. The last experience I've had hacking a phone was with my HTC TyTN and Kaiser back in 2008, before I switched to an iPhone... :) I've been an iPhone fanboy for a few years now, and am now looking at Android because the iPhone 4 and my new car's media system don't play well together.

My big question is if anyone in here has any idea if the Atrix can support the Bluetooth MAP Profile? That's the profile that lets another bluetooth device (like a car's media system) send and receive text messages via the phone. Moto's site says 'no' at http://developer.motorola.com/products/atrix-mb860/.

But here's what confuses me: every other Motorola phone running Android (even 2.1) does support it... and all of the phones that have been upgraded to 2.2.1 (including the Droid X) do support it.

How come a newer phone, with a newer version of the OS, doesn't support it?

Any idea if anyone is working to add such support to the Atrix? Is there any chance anyone will release a ROM that can be applied to the Atrix that will support it?

It does however work well for media applications such as using the using the bluetooth for media such as music playing and all of the steering wheel functions work correctly to pause, forward etc. To be frank, I don't really see the need for text functions through the head unit as apps like vlingo are much more intuitive....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
so you couldn't get the texting to work at all through the sync system?

Vlingo is a cool app, but you still need to have your phone in your hand to control it that way

Anyone with this setup got it to work?:D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cracker_jax:
I think it depends alot on the car model. I have a 2010 Ford Fusion with the nav system (big lcd screen) and after a recent (not the one that may or may not have just come out) Atrix update I am able to receive text messages through the car. Pops up, though I still have to press the screen to read/hear the message. I cannot, or do not know how, to get the car to send anything but the built in reply options. It dulls the effect when you send "I love you. -Sent by Ford Sync". But yes, it works. Also make sure your car's sync OS is updated to the newest version.

As for audio it makes the sound go without a problem, but the controls only seem to work if the application is open and not in the background. Minor annoyance, and there is a few second delay but it works pretty well if you need to shut up a podcast (I love Stitcher).

On another note I just changed from stock moto rom to Cyanogenmod 7 and have lost the SMS abilities entirely it seems. Looking for a way to get that back.
