Hi all,

I have a question about the Samsung Apollo....

My wife has it running on 2.1....but the Live Wallpapers don't seem to be enabled. Is this a problem with the Samsung version of 2.1, or do I have to upgrade her to 2.2.

My LG ran Live when it went to 2.1, so why doesn't this?

Thanks in advance!

new to flashing roms and kernels but i was wondering if the zip file HAS to be named update.zip AND be located in the root of the sdcard? or can i have multiple zips in a folder all named different things and just navigate to the zip i want to flash in CWR?

If you have a custom recovery then you can name it whatever you like. But the roms should be on the root of the sd card.

[Nook Color General] robertcdf:
Wondering if there is app that will allow me to do the following:

Take a picture with my EVO, OTA it will sync my photo folder and my NC (turned on and connected to my sprint overdrive) will also sync and download. I hope to then have the pics on my NC that I can show or edit. (basically adding a camera to the nook)

A little about the equipment: NC is rooted running stock rom, I am not opposed to using a different ROM but I just have not had a lot of time to screw with it.

The EVO is NOT rooted, not opposed to it just have not really needed to do it for my purposes.

I played with CX to sync a little bit but I can't seem to figure out how to make the synced directory be my photos folder or find a way to tell the camera app to put photos into the synced directory. If rooting the EVO would allow me to make changes to make this work then I will do it, just looking for some direction...

Thanks again for any help and thanks to all the DEVs who make these devices awesome!
[Nook Color General] StarTide:
Maybe something like PicPlz? It will sync to dropbox as soon as you add them. Then you can download from Dropbox to the NC (please dropbox, a much better client for Android soon!).

PicPlz

This article on Lifehacker also says that if you start Dropbox, then your camera, pictures will go directly to Dropbox. I haven't tried it, but I have done the other method of starting Dropbox and then saying new picture, which starts the camera and it will dump to Dropbox.

Lifehacker

Just found another one that supposedly does 2-Way auto sync from/to a folder of your choosing.

Dropspace

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colopedo:
so, got my sprint tp2 running 6.5. i disabled sense and tf3d bc i want the simplicity of using the Easy Today Launcher (places whatever shortcuts I want on the today screen with no other fancy things going on).

in keeping with the simple theme, also installed Daniel Herieira? (sp) LockDevice (a simple lock slider which creates a clean screen with my wallpaper, the lock slider and a digital clock with the date).

since she boots at about 110 ram..before leaking down thru the day, Id like to NOT install any of the home screen custom ROM's that i believe all require to have the memory hog sense enabled.

all i want is a simple analog clock that i can either enable as a plug in in various skins/locations for my Today screen, or better yet, to replace the digital clock on my lock screen. looked everywhere, cant figure it out. does anyone have any suggestions?? am i posting in the wrong place? thanks in advance

so what you're all sayin by not sayin is that without running sense with cht, i cna't do it??? hello hello?? bueler bueler??

Nobody has said that (or anything at all).

It's most likely that nobody knows of a lock screen with an analogue clock. It is possible for one to be written though, I guess just nobody has
[Vibrant General] jellette:
Ok. I do not like to see failure like we've seen the last couple of days. So here are some tips for aspiring devs who are wanting to port 2.2.1 roms.

None of them will work out of the box. If they did then we would have been using them before now.

You need to fix gps.

You need to replace the services.jar with the one posted if on js5 or js7 - EDT (whitehawkx) has done but not yet publically released the correct services for JS8.

You need to test wifi on secure and unsecure networks.

You need to ask for help. If you are not sure, then ask. It's much easier than failing by the 2nd post.

I will always help where and when I can, as will all of the team.

In fact, you can feel free to use this thread as a place to ask those questions!

Adding haptic feedback to the home key for 2.2.1 roms.

Adding haptic feedback to the home key for 2.2.1 roms.

Props to a dev in the captivate forums for this - I'll add his name when I find it.

The changes are enormous so this will be a copy and paste.

I have attached the files needed to this post.

1. Create a new folder on your desktop called whatever you like as a clean environment to work in.

2. Download and extract the 2 attachments to this new folder.

3. Locate the android.policy.jar from the 2.2.1 you want to add feedback to and bring it into the folder with the 2 files you extracted in step 2.

4. [I use 7zip so that is what the instructions will assume]

Right click on android.policy.jar and choose to open the archive.

5. Drag classes.dex out of the open 7zip window and into the folder with everything else.

6. Now double click on baksmali.bat and you will read then hit the space bar - then read and hit the space bar again.

7. Right click and copy the PhoneWindowManager.smali that you extracted to this folder in step 2.

8. Now navigate to AutoBakSmali_Out/com/android/internal/policy/impl .

Once here, right click in the window and choose paste - choosing yes to overwrite.

9. Now back out of this until you see the com folder - right click and choose cut.

Back out one more step and then go into AutoSmali_In and and right click and paste.

10. Now double click smali.bat, read and wait and space bar out when it says to.

11. Step 10 created AutoSmali_Out.dex. Delete your original classes.dex and rename the new AutoSmali_Out.dex to classes.dex.

12. Right click on android.policy.jar and choose to open the archive.

13. Drag the new classes.dex into the open 7zip window - hit yes - close the 7zip window

14. You have now added haptic feedback to your 2.2.1 ROM!

From here you can use your favorite method to load the android.policy.jar.

Add it to a new rom, adb it in, use root explorer to put it in place, whatever!

This is a GPS fix for the js8 roms. I put it together with some help from The_Ravager and jellette, be sure to hit there thanks buttons. I took some of the bin and lib files from KB1, and used some of the files from jellettes newest gps fix and came up with this. I locked onto 8 out of 12 birds in the bedroom of my first floor apartment. This will work for all 2.2.1 roms.

Could you tell why I wasn't able to make GPS work on any of the 2.2.1 ROMs when it works flawless on 2.2 ROMs with and without the sGPS and Gingerbread fixes ???
[Vibrant General] jellette:
I can not. You say it doesn't work - or it doesn't work as good?
[Vibrant General] adyscorpius:
The GPS hardware gets the satellites, around 7 to 9 of them, but no fixes, as in, locking in to find location, with accuracy and all... using lbstestmode...

The only ROM i got it working right now is Atriarc V1... Like, finally...

So basically the software is not using the data connection to tell the GPS which satellites to look for to get a faster connection. Hardware's fine...

I'm not trying to bug you, but seriously I really wann run a 2.2.1 EDT and the only thing stoppin me is the GPS. Please help bro. Thanks...

Any logs that you want? Or maybe screenshots, I can do that.
[Vibrant General] jellette:
Try out the gps fix I posted on page 21 of my gps fix thread in development.
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
I ended up having to the the hardware fix (taking it apart to lift the contact) to finally get the GPS to work good.

Thanks for this thread btw - I must admit I have been testing some stuff myself lately. Mainly I take one the the good EDT posted ROMs and add apps and change out the kernel, modem, fixes then zip it back up and flash. So far no hard bricks. Ive had to call the Norse god a few times though :)

Am I right in saying that if I wanted to replace the framework files with a themed one I should stay with the same build? IE: 2.2 with 2.2 and also JS5 with a JS5? Also to have the correct services file for the build?

Thanks

Also I have somewhat a noob question:

Ive also run across ROMs that doesn't seem to lock GPS very fast / good. But when I do a nandroid backup (even with a JS5) then flash fresh Bionix 1.3.1 and then restore the nandroid over it the gps works great. How bad or issues could I have with that? Is restoring a 2.2.1 nandroid over a 2.2 = messed?

So far I have 2 nands that I keep current - a 2.2 Sex Panther and a 2.2.1 Sweet Honey. I usually just restore them on whatever current setup I have.

Im getting the itch to try things and really appreciate this thread.
[Vibrant General] mr smap beeve:
I know this might be a dumb question. I love the 2.2.1 roms they are great! My question is when I load up themes from the i9000 section I get serious battery drain. About 10% an hour with minimal use where as if I use what comes with the 2.2.1 rom i get about 3-4% an hour on heavy use. I delete the services.jar and svc.jar and wipe the dalvik cache. I also make sure that it is compatible with JS7 so im stumped. Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
I'm experiencing similar battery drains using i9000 themes and I haven't figured out what's causing it either.

If anyone knows, please post what we need to do to prevent the drain.

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] Vibrantnew-b:
If any developers could help clarify something for me it would be greatly appreciated. I am able to grab other themes from the I9000 forum and remove the services.jar (thanks Jellette) and make them work but I'm seeing a lot of people asking for these themes. I have started to try and upload some but the max zip file is 8 mb. I have read something about Autosign but am not sure how to use it or if that even shrinks it enough? Is there an easier way to upload them? Thanks.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
If you're going to host someone else's work, first thing you want to do is get their permission.

For hosting anything larger than the allowable attachment size, you should find a file hosting service online, upload your files to that, then post the links generated by the site for everyone to download. There are quite a few free hosting sites out there, and it goes to personal preference which you prefer. I use multiupload myself, others prefer mediafire, dropbox, or megaupload. Best bet is to check out the hosting sites and see which one you like, or know you like based off of previous experinces downloading roms, mods, and themes. Hope that helps ya.

Anyone successfully try the Fennec nightly builds on NC stock rooted 1.1v2? Firefox 4 Beta 5 seems like the fastest browser, but it has a bad habit of locking up my Nook. I was hoping to try the Fennec nightly, but can't get it to install via APK. I'm trying to use the nightly build on the Firefox Wiki (can't post links yet).

When I try to install the app via APK, the install starts, continues for 5-10 seconds and then says "Application Not Installed."

I like Dolphin HD well enough, but it hangs for 10-15 seconds sometimes when loading sites. I've tried the other browsers and they all have some issue that makes them not as good as Dolphin HD.

Not Ready For Prime Time Yet

Fennec/Firefox seems to lock me up (running 1.1 Rooted, not overclocked). Also, the add-ons don't seem to install fully, nor can I seem to remove the built-in ones (e.g., Twitter, Wikipedia...) - I guess Mozilla seems to feel that I need those - LOL

Seems to be also a bit bulky just like Firefox for desktop - lots of bloat

just my $0.02
[Nook Color General] japzone:
If you don't like Firefox I'd suggest xScope, if you don't need Addons. One of my favorite features with it are the Site-Specific UA options and Chrome like interface. It also has Basic jestures. Left/Right Swipe switches Tabs. Flick Up/Down under Notification Bar to hide it or show it. Pressing Menu hides the Interface for Fullscreen and a Hidden Feature of Double-Tapping at base of Tab to close the Tab(although there is a Tab menu) Also supports Flash plugin, plus Enhanced Copy-Paste ability so you can copy nearly anything on a Webpage.

Free version: Free from Market

Pro version: $2.99 from Market, $0.99 from Amazon Appstore

Pro version gives you screenshots and a few other features.

Tried installing the nightlies via Astro APK and it just won't work. (Nor will the Firefox RC.) It looks like this is because I uninstalled Firefox 4 Beta 5 via Manage Settings instead of via the Market uninstaller. When I go to the Market, it says Firefox is installed when it isn't. If I try to install any version of Firefox, I get the "Application Not Installed" error. I'll have to try it via ADB and see what happens in the log. Just haven't had time yet.

Ran into a rather bad problem today after flashing to Kyrillos 3.0 Final and trying to root my phone.

Windows just won't connect my phone. If I uninstall the drivers, it works for the first time after I restart the computer and Windows installs them, but after that they just stop working.

There's also an "unknown device" in the device manager list, below the "Android USB composite device" that fails to install its drivers.

I've tried everything Google threw at me, but I can't find a fix for this. :(

It appears I have a found a fix:

I reinstalled all of the phone drivers and now I can connect my phone if I switch USB ports every time I connect it. Luckily, I have two ports in front so I can easily switch between them.
