Database Develop

N00b Introducing himself.

Hello all, just writing my second post (I know its confusing me too) to say hello and to congratulate you guys for having a fabulous resource here.
I just bought a HTC Universal off ebay in the guise of a T-Mobile MDA Pro which I am rubbing my hands together in glee about. Hasn't arrived yet, but I'm expecting it veeery shortly. My wife isn't quite so enthusiastic, but never mind.
I have a feeling I'm going to need to unlock the little devil with the tools from Buzzdev (many, many thanks for that as well!) and will be using it probably on my Tesco Mobile net sim card, which is really an 02 simcard without the good internet access. I've looked at that though and I'll be trying out a few of the other networks to see how I go with that.
Anyway, just to let you all know, I am not completely technically stupid, I run a couple of websites and I'm hoping to convince this Universal to synch with my linux box, but I know very little about fiddling with PDAs and telephones and so on, so if I ask what seems to be a silly question, it is probably not based in laziness so much as ignorance.
Looking forward to chatting with you guys,
Alan

Hi Alan and welcome.
The Universal is a monster of a device - paperback book sized - but very upgradeable in terms of operating systems. Check out the many threads in the Universal section.
Not come across syncing software for linux but then I'm not a regular Linux user. Maybe someone else can answer that one.

Hi there
Welcome 0/
I'm also looking for a good way of syncing with linux, which flavour do you favour? I Presume you mean syncing with evolution mail or something similar?
a quick google found me this
Pocket PC Syncing with Evolution in Ubuntu:
http://www.blogowogo.com/blog_article.php?aid=747818&t=5
I'll post as soon as ive got something working, let me know how it goes for you. Might be a week or so tho, ive got exams right now :S (one in 5 hours actually,,,oh dear!)

Hello there TheBrit and funkus, thanks for the reply.
I was wandering around one day looking at mobile phones and so on and I saw an XDA exec dummy phone sitting on the shelves of the shop I was in. You know the ones I mean, they don't have any innards, they are just the shell tied to the wall and a list of features on a sign.
I fell in love with the damn thing, I kept going back to visit it over the next couple of weeks and I was devastated when the shop got new stock in and they didn't have the XDA Exec anymore.
However, I had an iPaq rx1950 which I am just about married to, it does almost everything I want except for work as a phone (which I don't use all that much anyway) and seemed to be doing the job, except that there was absolutely no way I could synch it with my Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn box at home.
Then I stumble across this site and find out that what I thought was an XDA Exec is actually an HTC Universal which can be sim unlocked (thanks to buzzdev) and that the wiki has ways of not just synching with Linux, but actually running Linux on the Universal as well!
That did it for me and I began my hunt on ebay. Found one on Friday night and with luck and cursing the bank holiday weekend, it should arrive today.
funkus, I presume you are running linux of some description and probably Ubuntu, yes?
If that is the case, there are heaps of different threads on the various forums which have information on how to synch with WM5. All of them involve the tools mentioned in the post you directed me to, although there are a couple of tools out there which involve KDE and so on. From what I can see, I should be able to get things going nicely and I think if you follow the instructions, you should manage ok to get Evolution all synched up. Couple of useful threads for you though:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86302&highlight=synce
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30936
and the synCE wiki page: http://www.synce.org/index.php/SynCE-Wiki
Both the threads and the wiki are incredibly useful for working out whether you can or you can't synch with your linux box. Unfortunately, with my rx1950, I can't. It just will not play at all, actually crashes both the ipaq and the computer.
Thanks for the welcome and good luck with those exams funkus!

ATT N1 Best MOD

Hey Guys,
Blast me as I know you will --- I just got my n1 for ATT last week after converting from a BB9700;
Questions -
(1) After rooting what is the best mod to do --- everyone has something to say buy I am debating from Cynagen vs ModaCo..
(2) Radio upgrades, Is there a new n latest one for my verison of N1

!!
Try "Search"......and wrong section to post this...

I was in the same situation as you! Just got rid of my 9700 and got a N1
I've been playing with Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 and more recently, 5.0.6.1-testing with the new .33.2 Undervolted/Overclocked/Extra RAM kernel. Everything is very snappy compared to stock and I couldn't be happier
I'm still looking around for radio roms

I'm going to recommend that you NOT ROOT YOUR N1.
Stick with the un-rooted phone for as long as you can.
First determine WHY you want to root.
Do you know shell scripting? You know much/little about Unix/Linux? Are you a power user? Are you an iPhone iBasher?
I've rooted and unlocked all of my HTC phones for the past few years, because I know what I'm doing. I read and read and read, searched searched searched these forums for reasons why I should or shouldn't do this or that.
You are new to these forums. New to Android™.
I say you should play with your new phone for a few months.

If and when you learn ENOUGH by reading, searching, slimming, and searching and reading some more ... if you feel you want to root your Nexus One - by all means, DO It MAN!

I will tell you why 95% of people want to root on the Nexus One. No need to ask a prospect.
The reason is because they want cyanogenmod!
You advice is poor rooting is child play compared to 360 modding.
N1 modding is key to enjoying ones phone.

I have to admit, I rooted my Nexus right away.
Having said that, I spent almost a year on my G1 without rooting it. At first I didn't know it was an option. After I started reading about it, I started to realize that it was probably a wise thing to do. It then took me a few weeks of reading to figure out what I actually wanted to do to my phone before I took the leap and finally rooted it and installed CM which made my G1 experience exciting again.
I mention all this because I agree with OrganizedFellow. Spend some time getting to know how Android works before rooting and adding new features. It will help you appreciate the hard work of the devs even more when you do put custom ROMs on your phone.
If you can't wait, I recommend CM. As for the radio, if your phone doesn't lose 3G and stays connected like it should, don't worry about changing the radio. I "had" to change my radio to try getting rid of my 3G issues that the phone shipped with.

in contrast, if youre not super comfortable with going through the whole process just dip your toes in the water first by trolling forums and reading, you can after all brick your phone. I agree with organizedfellow, take your time and find out why and what benefits. i have not rooted yet but leaning closer as i read more and find that i really need the tethering in case im stuck with no wireless while out on a job (also the different color trackball would be sweet). Out side of those im pretty happy with everything stock, add to it with the rumors of himem coming in a future ota update i think i will be set....just that damn tethering...

You cant go wrong with any ROM available right now, but I highly suggest you try Enomther's ROM as well.

are you serious? nobody said anything about the comparison of rooting an android device (software) to modding an xbox 360 (hardware).
So by your logic, someone should jump right into modding their console because replacing the engine in a Boeing 747 is harder.
To the OP. Take the advice of those suggesting that you wait. For starters, you can see if your device has any hardware issues. Yes HTC is warrantying unlocked devices but why not avoid that hurdle and sit on your device for a week or three to just be sure. While you do that, you can read all that you can stomach in these forums and plan your best course of attack.
Welcome to the fray.

+1 that is some great advice, and I would take it. I was just like you and I last week I rooted my ATT N1. I love it, but I must say that I have put a lot more time into it than I expected. I spent a month before I got the N1 looking into this whole scene and I felt that I had the reasons to root. I would at least spend the time searching forums until all your questions that you have are answered. No body is going to be able to give you a perfect ROM that is for you because there are many different ones out there and what is good for one person may not be the best for another.
I would spend the time to get to know everything before you get going. I would say I know my way around technology pretty well, but if I didn't have the nice folks from this forum I would of had a very hard time with things. When people tell you to "search" they really aren't trying to be rude. To root your phone is a personal choice that only you can make. You are the one that spent the money and people spend a bunch of time making our HTC using lives that much greater.
I spent almost 4 hours last week rooting and unlocking and I have spent easily 30-40 since then learning all that I can learn and I must say that for me it was the right decision because I learned a bunch of things about my phone and now when I have a problem I am comfortable that I can find a way to fix it myself. If I don't then I know where to turn to "search" for help.
If you have any questions I would love to help you out although I am far from a master at this trade. I spent a bunch of time and I have a whole notebook of printouts that I have found in various places all over the web (especially this site) I would be more than happy to send them to you, but just do yourself a huge favor and research, research, research, research, and then when you feel you are done research some more. It will help you in the long run.
Have fun with your phone and good luck

By the way I am running the latest Cyanogen and a few other things. I am having a blast with .apk like the HTC keyboard, and I must say that for me wireless tethering is the greatest thing in the world. I have only touched the very end of this world, and I am so thankful for all the people out there that spend countless hours making our lives a lot easier. I had a bunch of help last week and people really didn't need to spend the time to help me out. I have also messed around with the latest Modaco Sense ROM and I like that a lot as well.

How to brew up an android rom for htc hd7

Hello all! I jump from phone to phone when ever I can catch a broken one to fix for nearly free. I recently ran into an HTC HD 7 and am not really vibing to the windows mobile 7, and from what I read there is not currently a pre made rom available for installing android on this device. I am pretty technologically advanced and feel confident given the right direction on how to accomplish this I would be capable of creating one. I have read a lot of information but am some what lost mainly because of some of the lingo terminology, being that I haven't hacked/developed outside of the ios platform. I can program in just about any c based language. Any one got ne thing that can help me out here? If I build one how would I install it or go about uploading it to the device? Thanks in advance for any replies I do greatly appreciate all your time! I apologize about the noobness like I said ios is whats been available to me for the past few years, and now I want android like a kid wants candy!!!

Developers/programmers have been trying to figure out how to dual boot the HD7 (like the HD2) since it came out. The main problem seems to be how WP7 is compiled .NET and C#. WP7 securitys still aren't fully unlocked.
Take a look at the Project Haret thread, they seem to be making some progress at it and if you have the know how, maybe you can contribute.

Thanks for the heads up, appreciate the reply, btw where is the thanks button? sorry this is my second post here. I started to do some research into it. I believe the answer is in the coredll.dll file which may be stating the obvious. I think the way to go about accessing this or at least what I am going to try is an attempt to gain root access with my device tethered to my comp from terminal.

Your welcome! I've read through the whole Project Haret thread and there is alot of information, (some way to complicated for me) trial and error and it looks like as of recent there has been some good progress towards getting Haret to perform and (hopefully) run kernel mode and actually boot the kernel. You might be right, give it a shot or maybe put it on the thread and see what kind of feed back you get on it!
Is your device unlocked yet so that you can gain access to it and try it out?
Personally I would love to see the HD7 dual boot WP7 and Android. Don't get me wrong... I thoroughly enjoy WP7 and love my HD7it's very smooth, fast, stable and not once has it crashed on me. I believe that it would bring a longer life experience to the device and make it that much more versatile, especially since we're nearing the end of official support.
The thanks button should be there now, under the posts.

Ok so I realize I might sound like an idiot considering everything I said can be found within the haret documentation. I originally read something found on google with inaccurate information after you told me about the project, come to find out the information I read was in no way affiliated with the the actual project haha. Forgive my stupidy, I began to read and follow along the documaton for it at htc-linux.org, the only thing I am having issue with is obtaining haretconsole to explore the device. The link on the documentation I believe no longer exists, and I can't find a source anywhere! This is pretty good stuff though thanks for linking me up with it! Have you installed the development tools or haretconsole on a linux OS by chance? I was successful with the developement tools, just need to figure out this haretconsole problem. BTW which desktop OS do you prefer?
Sadly I can't tell if my device is unlocked yet haha. I work at a university doing LAN Administration currently and used my .edu e-mail to register as a developer. I then registered my device but don't see a single difference or maybe I just am doing something wrong. How do you suggest going about that(unlocking it that is, I don't care about it being official, just figured official would be easlier)? Also for the iPhone there is a desktop application which allows you to access the filesystem called iFunBox, is there anything similar for the wp7?
I would just love android lol, I like the HTC HD7 and have always been a fan of HTC products, It definately is pretty smooth and compared to my previous device a 3gs it's lightening fast! 3g isn't supported with the 3gs on t-mobile either. My biggest issue with wp7 is the fact it doesn't do anything I want to be done in a device, I use my mobile browser ALOT and I have never seen a browser period with this many bugs, I installed safari but it's not even the same lol! For the most part I strongly strongly dislike anything related to microsoft, but unfortunately I have to work with the windows platform quite often because of my job. There just such a dirty/shady/grimmy company period, I saw a commercial yesterday advertising bing where they claimed 2 out of three people choose bing over google in a blind study............how can they advertise that when they stole googles code! lol. Also it was a pretty dirty business move of microsoft to do what your talking about with the wp8. They claim there going to continue support on 7 but we both know they all say that and do put the effort towards the legacy system for a short period of time before cutting it. Screwing Nokia out of major growth potential within the U.S. while going back on the promise made to them regarding free upgrades to 8 for 7 devices. I think they feel like there invincible just because they currently run the desktop OS market share. I think their will likely be a major change in the preferred OS within the next 10 years, just because I work in an 30,000 user enterprise that refuses to upgrade their liscensing with microsoft because of windows 8's inability to meet our needs.
Sorry if this message way to long haha

Sorry its taken me so long to get back with you... Been crazy busy!
Unfortunetly I only have Windows OS, PC and Laptop. Funny enough though, I just got my laptop back from the shop a couple weeks ago and I had to have the harddrive replaced. Last week my PC got the BSOD (blue screen of death) and I had to completly wipe and restore it.
My next computer will be a Linux OS forsure. I wish I had one currently to install Haret and play around with it!
The student registration is limited and you can only sideload a max of 3 unasigned apps. You would be better off to fully unlock your device and install a custom rom, this will give you more options to sideload as many unasighned apps as you want in the form of XAP's through IE. Access to the registry/file system and to apply hack and tweaks. you can then familurize yourself with the OS and file system.
I can help walk you through the unlock process, it's pretty easy.
Go to settings, about, more info. post back all the information from that screen. Enter your device into bootloader mode - Power device off, hold down the volume down button and power the device back on, while continuing to hold down the volume down button, this will bring you into BL mode a tri-colored screen. Post back the information from that screen also.We can go from there. The proccess to unlock it basicially is to downgrade the SPL to 3.xxx or lower to install RSPL/HSPL wich will allow flashing of a custom rom.
My IE works excellent. It might be due to what build version that your device is running on. Either way once we get it unlocked there's custom roms running on Tango 8779 build with nice features and the device runs buttery smooth. there's also more mobile browsers available to install once it's unlocked, Opera Mobile,UC browser and a bunch more. There's all kinds of XAP's you can install to cusromize the device and enhance the user experience.
Totaly agree with you on the Android development for WP7 and the above statement regarding MS

[Q] back into development

hey everyone glad to be a member again well glad to come back.
i was in a horrible accident in 2012 and with all the damage somethings in my life got turned upside down like everything lol. so before my accident i developed software. so my thought is to try to develope again. so i want to develop for the phone and the tablet any help or information in getting back into that would be awesome and links that can be provided or any suggestions would rock.
my goal is to get the hardware needed which that is a no brainer i am going to buy a tablet (yes the cheapest one i can find) and i am going to buy a smartphone. and i am going to get another laptop (yes just for development reasons)
now i have a few ideas on software to develop which no reason to get into bu what development tools should i start with and while i am not made of money are there free versions. i have been considered disable so would there be a discount if any for that reason?
i am just tying to get back into doing something can yall help a computer nerd out?????????

What do you want to develop ?
Developing software is a pretty vague term .
You don't really need a new laptop just for developing software.
For Android you can use Eclipse + ADT plugin or Android Studio . Both of these are free to use.

You can get the Kindle Fire HD as it's very cheap at about $129.
TapaTalk'd from a KFSOWI
Spoiler
Need help with your Kindle Fire HD 2013? Mention me and i'll help
Been here since 2014
As advice mention me if you need help and you need me.

not sure what i want to develop i want to make sure i can still program so i would be willing to create anything that interest me really. i am a gamer so maybe in that direction but i am also into other things so who knows what software i want to create.
the reason i am getting another laptop is to have some development hardware and then i would have a total of 3 laptops so my thought is 1 laptop to develop android software on the other laptop to be used for watching my netflix lol then the laptop i am on now would be used for research and sending emails and posting the way i am doing now so on the development laptop i can have the development going while at the same time researching a problem or looking for something to add to the idea of what i am doing. plus the 2 laptops i have now are old they are like 4 years old which isn't bad but with the prices at best buy now less then $300.00 can get another laptop that is very useable

I've been browsing your forum for years and I thought it might be time I actually registered and contributed a bit.
Currently I'm fiddling with a Moto E 2020 bought last year for like 90€ after using a NGM DR3C since 2014 (ironically paid almost twice).
The NGM isn't compatible with latest phone network technologies in my region so I had to replace unfortunately. That phone was my sandbox, in the sense that I knew everything inside-out about it and the system and used all kind of apps on it.
With this Moto as much as I can appreciate the design, speed and size, it feels an incomplete experience. As you can guess from a phone that just needed framaroot to a phone that requires formatting and flushing an image, it can be a deluding user experience.
Since I noticed that this phone doesn't have any exploits that allow for something as simple as one-click rooting just like framaroot on NGM, I was wondering if there's any groups or just individuals working on finding a solution to this issue and if yes then I'd be glad to contribute in any way I can.
I'm not a CS student and I barely know bash and c# for my windows unity needs but if there's any real efforts being made to find a workaround then I'm willing to learn whatever is needed to reach a breakthrough.
That said, I'd be grateful if someone could give me directions to what forum section would be more appropriate for discussion on this topic.

I would just discuss it on the Motorola Forum
