Thanks!!

Thanks guys, I definitely appreciate the support! I don't think I'm going to find out if I won until April 4th but until then I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

If anyone would like to test the app I submitted send me a PM and I'll send you a link to download, and in the mean time I will let you guys know if I hear anything!
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Please keep us updated!

And if you want to make your app free public in XDA I can write an article about it.

Let me know via PM

Good luck!

A not so happy ending...

Well, I'm sad to announce I was not one of the top 10 Android winners :(

It seems they gave a lot of credit to final app size (even tho mine was still 20 kb) and a few of the people used some tools to shrink the final apk. Once I found out about this I did it to my apk as well and was on par with their size (11 kb).

It's disappointing, but at the same time, I'm still incredibly happy how things turned out. I was w/in the top 38 people who competed and that in and of itself is something to be proud of.

I also learned a TON from this challenge because prior to it I had never done custom animations or even worked with the Canvas class - both of which I can say I'm very comfortable with now. So in only 9 hours I learned how to do custom animations and created an awesome app - AMAZING!

So, long story short, while I may not have won, I'm still holding my head up high and there's always next time.

I did, however, turn my submission into a live wallpaper and made it the system clock rather than a countdown clock. I stuck it on the market for $0.99 so who knows, if it sells like hot cakes then maybe I will have enough $$ to buy an I/O ticket on eBay.

So.... what are you waiting for?! Go buy my app and check it out!!! :D

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
I was having problems with my data connection not working so I reset the phone and restored with titanium backup. Got the data working again, but now there is no security lock. I can enter no numbers or any numbers and hit the OK button and the phone unlocks. When i go to location and security and click on change screen lock, the next screen appears briefly then closes. The swipe fingerprint button on that screen is greyed out. So the security feature is disabled.

I have all the files from an older titanium backup when the screen lock was working. I am wondering if there are any files i can replace to get it working again. Any ideas appreciated--

Fingerprint Restore Problem

If anyone finds a solution to this problem, would you mind posting it?

This is the second thread I have come across while looking for the answer, and like a lot of the time when the original poster figures out a fix, the solution is never posted in the forums.

I just ran into this problem this morning, and I'm running in circles trying to figure out a fix. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer on the issue.

Thank you,

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpalatsi:
Is there anyone who can help with this?

I seriously want to throw my phone at the wall right now...

I just flashed my Atrix and reloaded all backups from titanium pro and the issue I'm having has to do with my security settings. Every time I click on "Change Screen Lock" the prompt for my fingerprint comes up for a second and then goes away.

I had a fingerprint prior to the flash and I believe that's why I'm having an issue. I've already tried clearing data in Titanium pro for my settings and my fingerprint scanner 2.2.1.

I can't think of anything else to do, any help would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sharptr:
A TURKISH MAN CAN SOLVE!

Problem:

When I connect device to computer, update notification appears for 2.2.1. However, when I click on update after skipping or non-skipping backup, device disconnects and notification appears that device not connected. Then, clicking on OK update process ends but my galaxy s is connected to KIES. I tried numerous times.

Full error message: Firmware update stopped because GT-I9000 has been disconnected. Please check the connection and try again.

I tried those:

Updating KIES

Hard reset device

Uninstall & reinstall KIES

Open KIES as admin

Open KIES in compatibility mode

Restart phone

I also tried Win7 32 bit,XP and XP virtual PC

Alcohol cleaning of all ports

Solution:

Go to your control panel, find region and keyboard settings. Then make all your settings as English (U.S.A). At last tab, computer will restart. Open Kies as admin and in compatibility tab select windows xp service pack 3. Update will be found as usual. Go for it. Your connection will be lost but the firmware is downloading this time. Update will be finished without no problem.

Thank me in advance because it will definitely work ;)

It works also for Bada.

Photographs are in Turkish because Turkish people solve this problem with hard work. However, you can figure out from the context.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altugk:
Hi All,

I have searched for a month tried everything I could find but it did not help.

I would appreciate any solution very much.

I have an unlocked streak with froyo. It was on 2.1 when I bought it and OTA it upgraded to 2.2. Everything was working fine including exchange sync.

After about 2 months use I needed to do a factory reset. Instead of simply doing a reset I downloaded the firmware from Dell site (same number and code). And flashed with update.pkg.

Baseband version; GAUSB1A131800-EU

Kernel Version; 2.6.32.9-perf

OEM Version; GAUSB1A131800

BUild Number; 12821

Since then my exchange sync is not working properly in calendar. I am always missing some items (seems to be random).

I did everything I could find but no luck.

I even got my IT guys to rebuild my account on the server but no luck.

I installed google calendar sync to my computer to sync with google cloud. This way I can see everything online but obviously this is not how it should be.

Any help and idea please.

So far I have done:

factory reset 10+ times

remove and add exchange account 20+ times

clear calendar data and add again 30+ times.

I have used about 10 different Windows Mobile phones/PDAs over the last 15 years and never had this.

Started to regret my switch from HD2 to streak.

please help.

thanks

[Nook Color General] rohit275:
Anyone else experiencing something like this? I want to make sure it's not just my nook and that it's something that will be resolved either on the app's side or on CM7 at some point. It works fine on my G2 running CM7, so i figure this might be a nook issue or an issue with my particular setup.

Is it working for anyone else? I tried the regular Flikie and it won't even open without FCing...at least the HD one starts up and works for a bit before it randomly shuts down on me. Sometimes the force close dialog comes up and the app still runs fine before it FC's again...not sure what's going on. It runs pretty smoothly too...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] uptheironsrafi:
Hello,

I own a Motorola Milestone which I purchased from Starhub Singapore. I am currently using this phone in Bangladesh.

Now, I would like to root my phone to install CM 7, and I understand that I need to flash a vulnerable recovery. But I could not find a singapore SBF. Now my question is, which SBF should I use? would it be okay if I used the UK retail one (Bangladesh uses the UK basebands, 900 and 1800)??

Thanks

Rafi
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rampee:
There are no region specific versions for CM7. Use the latest CM7 release and that should work. If you have baseband issues you can change it using AOR. If you are looking for 2.2.1, check for SBF's at http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone#section221

(note that service versions won't wipe your system while non-service ones will).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] uptheironsrafi:
Sorry, I think my question wasn't clear.

My milestone doesnt have hard root yet. So i need to root the phone to install ROMs. Now before rooting, I need to flash an SBF using RSD lite, since I am still on 2.1. Now my question is, would there be any problem if I flashed the UK retail SBF, instead of the Singapore SBF??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
Best option would be to install got 2.2.1. That way you need not install VR and can flash CM7 directly.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] uptheironsrafi:
Ok, so what is got 2.2.1? and what are the steps for installing it? can i install it without rooting my phone?

And if i want to get hard root, which steps should I follow?

I am a noob here, so any help is much appreciated.

Thnk u
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
The first 2.2.1 that was released by the GOT team. You can download it from the link below.

http://groupoften.wordpress.com/2010/10/16/g-o-t-2-2-1-released/

Then run openrecovery and root your phone and then flash CM7. You should use androidiani openrecovery.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] uptheironsrafi:
Thnx a lot for the quick reply.

How do i install the GOT 2.2.1 on an unrooted phone? Is there any link that has the installations steps?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
That's a sbf. Flash it using rsdlite. Search xda milestone development forum for guides. There are many.

So i want to buy a android tablet. i will so be going to college, and i find it was easier to carry tablet with ebooks instead of the actual book.

I have AT&T. so their tablet will be the Galaxy Tab, which is okay for 549.99

but then the Motorola Xoom (wifi version) came out for 599.99 which i find way better only problem would be the 3G. i hate verizon btw.

and of course there are many other to come in the next months.

so can you all guide me in which direction will be the best for me. :D thanks

[General Questions and Answers] Optimus-Prime:
if only that thread was not limited to $200... -sigh-
[General Questions and Answers] meltwater:
If only you'd read the rest of it and realise it is now a combined general thread. :D

I would imagine you would be needing something with exceptional battery life and an excellent screen (particularly for viewing in sunlight). Something like the pixel qi technology, the Notion Ink Adam for example, however whether the Notion Ink delivers on what it promises remains to be seen, its been in development for a long time.

If you are spending that sort of money I would highly recommend getting a demo of the devices and I would also consider setting the iPad2 as a benchmark, if you are paying around the same price, then you should at least aim for a screen/battery better than that, or you might as well get one of those.
[General Questions and Answers] Optimus-Prime:
i not really in iOS, i have an ipod touch. its blah.

i liek android better.

there to many out there to go for.

i have my eyes set on some of them, HTC Flyer, Moto Xoom (AT&T verison might launch is that is so, we got a winner but until then), toshiba tablet, Viewsonic Viewpad 7 or 10. those are mainly the once i am intrested in. just dont know which will be best. and more hackable (if thats even a word.)
[General Questions and Answers] meltwater:
As far as I can tell they are all quite similar spec, although not looked in detail.

Regarding hack-ability, keep an eye out for which ones are rooted etc, with the hardware specs being so good and being from main stream manufacturers chances are they will be hacked (I imagine just too tempting).

I would expect that the Viewsonic's battery and screen won't be a patch on the others, as a lesser manufacturer, but then neither will the price.

For me, I've decided to go the cheep route, since I don't have the cash to get the more expensive ones or to upgrade them when they get superseded in 12 - 18 months.
[General Questions and Answers] Optimus-Prime:
I think after all the atrix with the lapdock will be my final choice
[General Questions and Answers] paronnax:
I have a notion ink Adam - pixel qi, 3g.

It's a great piece of hardware. Fast, good camera, light, the pixel qi works well.

The down sides are:

- the Eden UI still has a few bugs. I'm looking to run Ubuntu anyway so not an issue for me

- pixel qi is not the same as a kindle. Similar, but pixel qi is more for usage in the sun.

try installing the custom rom again, and go into stock recovery. when you see the little triangle press vol + and vol - at the same time. youll get a menu(navigate with the volume keys). go to wipe data and press the screen lock key(the one at the top) reboot, then youre sorted.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbutala:
I had a question about boot animation sounds that I have been searching but have not really been able to find an answer to. I have read in forums for other devices that you can add a sound to the boot animation by adding audio_android.mp3 into the /system/media. I've grabbed a few boot audio files that I found on forums and tried to install them using that aforementioned method. Didn't work. So I put the .mp3 in /system/media/audio. Still didn't work.

I used flashable zips for CWM and this installed a shutdown audio file, but for some reason it didn't work for the bootup audio.

I've also tried using the Captivate SGS Tools app because it specifically says that if you install your audio file into the /sd/sgstools folder on your sd card and then tell the app to use that file, then you will have a working bootup sound. That didn't work either.

So I've read that the Galaxy S phones use Samsung's proprietary file system to create their boot anis. Independently installing the video on a capable kernel is easy enough. Getting the audio to work though has been tough for me, and I haven't seen a lot of info in forums about how to make this work. Any thoughts? Thank you.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gemitero:
I have read that sense roms have limitations on them and i was just wondering what are the of mods can you do on an Asop rom vs a Sense rom? T.I.A.:)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Opinions vary widely here - I'll attempt an objective explanation.

Sense is the layer of goodies HTC puts onto the device - like the neato weather animation, the Rosie (launcher, at the most basic level) at the bottom, etc.

VZW, while not HTC or part of Sense, also puts stuff on the device.

AOSP has (in most cases) none of the 'value added' goodies from HTC Sense or VZW.

The AOSP ROM is built from the source code for the device - hence the acronym - AOSP=Android Open Source Project.

Most widgets from Sense do not work on AOSP - a couple Sense apps do, like the flashlight, FM Radio, a few others. I suppose this could be labeled a limitation, but that's opinion. Conversely, many of the apps or widgets emulating certain Sense functions are available in the market.

All that said, users form their own opinions/experience based on what they utilize from Sense, VZW, and AOSP itself.

Try on an AOSP ROM and see what you think - there's Froyo and Gingerbread flavors available.
