can anybody sign a application. Its a game xrace. I can't adb install cause its not signed. I am giving link. Please somebody sign
http://xrace-sa.googlecode.com/files/XRace.apk
did u ever get this signed? i know the auto test sign used for roms isnt supposed to work (or so ive been told), but for ****s and giggles i tried it and it worked for me. i can get the app to install and open, but when i click on single player it fc's, but that might be because im on exspresso (2.1).
Got the same problem FC on single player and i'm using manup's 2.0.1 ROM...
Did either of you look at the date? This app was made before Android 1.6, much less 2.0- it was probably made for 1.5

ya thats why i stated the its prob because im on 2.1. but just to check, i installed on my gf's stock cliq (1.5) and still got fc.
this thread came up when i was searching on google for something and just thought id see if this guy was still around so i posted up what happened to me.
question though, is signing it using same thing as rom supposed to work?
hey there. I am about to buy an htc dream which is already unlocked. I want to root my phone so I was wondering if downgrading then rooting it would affect my unlocked status in any way?
Don't worry, your phone will still remain unlocked.
alright sweet, i was just a little worried because on another site (android forums) a user was saying that it may lose its unlocked status.

You might wanna wait though for upcoming phone in 2010 like Nexus that was rumored to be 199 unlocked but who knows might be less than 400 bux
My point is wait for something better since dream has very limited HW.
well i live in canada and we usually dont get access to nice phone right away, right now i am running an lg neon which is less than desirable. This would be my first smart phone so i will probably get it and keep it till 2011 or so. I appreciate your opinion though for sure.
Could I also get an answer for a thread link to the easiest method of rooting? I have heard about the instantroot.apk, would this work with an htc dream?

If you mean the GSM version then use this guide, it has a nice vid that should help out.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
Follow each step and dont skip any.The GSM Dream cant be used on rogers or telus i think, not sure if they use CDMA(no sim)
There is no CDMA Dream Never heard of telus but Rogers is GSM fo sho.
i want to use it with fido (fido's parent company is rogers (they use sim)) would this still work? also does this work with all firmwares?
Will what work? If your phone accepts the SIM for the carrier you want to use now then it always will.. If not then you'll need an unlock code. Try the one click root method using flashrec.apk and report back if that doesn't work....
alright cool, im buying the phone on friday so ill report back later. (using the method in the video to root my htc dream)
Could someone please explain what the difference between recovery and rom is.

A rom is like Win7 or linux and recovery mode is like DOS/CMD or maybe safe mode on a PC.The rom is flashed and the recovery mode is needed to flash custom roms from here and to flash themes.
ok sweet, you guys are actually a HUGE help in helping me understand this. So after i follow that video my phone will be "rooted" After that I go to install the latest rom from CG. Do i use the files in the video (the recovery file) or something better out now? also should i use the linda file manager he talks about or astro?
also what is DOUNT and cupcake.

google names the updates after pastries. 1.5 is cupcake (1st version to have a soft keyboard) next is 1.6 donut (supports different screen sizes, new market, a bit snappier) and the latest is 2.0 eclair (what the droid has. not out for any other phones yet. refined browser, car home, and other cool features like navidation, you can get navigation on donut too though trough the market.)

Since I do not have data I probably should not download this because the only internet i will be using is wifi. Does this phone have an option to turn off all data, to prevent accidental usage. (like the iphone)
Since I do not have data in my plan is their any reason for me to get this? i would think that google maps will suffice.
could somone also please exlplain SPL, from what i have read it is somesort of compatibility with roms, how can i check mine and does the latest CGM require a high SPL
So everyone is wondering why the Nexus One Launcher just keeps FC'ing, and how come the Droid can just install, and WHAM! it works. ANY ANSWERS????
the droid luancher is just a themed Rosie.apk. we already have Rosie (sense UI). the nexus launcher is probley having shared uid issues or something. thats just a guess though.
I think you have me wrong, Im talking about the native nexus launcher not the rosie 2.1 combo
use the open eclair launcher2.apk it works fine

no i was explaining what the droid (themed) rosie was. the nexus launcher is going to need opengl 2.0 to be fully functional. and to get it to instal ur gonna need an aosp rom. we had aosp build on the heroc forum but things went south with the leak of a .29 kernel. causing the drivers for touch screen to not be compatible with anything but htc built and modified builds. but before the .27 kernel came along i backported the opengl drivers from the .29 kernel into the old .27 kernel enabling the 2.1 opengl drivers which are opengl 1.1 for the msm7k devices. the nexus one like many other new devices has a different arch and gpu that alows them to have opengl 2.0. our devices just dont support it. the best lwp we can get are only lwp from the market that are half baked/ home brewed lwp. so yeah ther is a chance u could port one of the few builds that have support for the nexus launcher and other nexus goodies. but in the end it will be fairly buggy as it was on the heroc. ie Eris and heroc are basicaly the same devices. only a few minor differances.

Seems to work fine for me now, with live wallpapers as well
I seem to remember that when the leak first came out there was some "issue" with the opengl that shipped inside of the update. That *might* be whats going on here. I'd suggest looking around for that thread, as there may be answers to your questions in it.

I've been trying to say live wallpapers worked with the launcher2 from open eclair for a while..just not the wallpapers that ship with the phone

yeah the only real issue with the nexus one launcher that we had with the heroc, was the app tray was a little laggy and bothered a lot of people.
the lwp though were just issues with the stock lwp. like i said the ones in the market worked ok. some were a bit laggy though and would at times bring the phone to a crawl. i remember one did for sure. that was the "logcat lwp" i loved it but it was easily seen that lwp werent meant for our hardware.
but yeah i think its possible to get a few of the stock ones to work also. i cant remember what me a maejrep had to do to get them working. but i do remember them still being to buggy. but yeah most of the market ones were ok and would run for the most part fine.

Tranquility 2.3.7: A Blurless Droid X is Now Here
Thanks to p3droid!
Just installed this over 2.2 OTA Rooted Deodexed and put the NexTheme from Fab on top of it. Seems to be running smooth for now.. I did put launcher pro on top of it because I like there Social and Calendar Widgets. Super Easy to install. Quadrant still ran the same as the stock ROM though high 1300's.
Do get need to be deodexed to flash this?

Install instructions:
This is a new style of install for me and the Droid community in general. The update.zip format will only remove those files necessary to install itself, if your phone is odexed, it will deodex it for you and install. It has a very small footprint because it is only installing what is necessary.

To be honest, I have no Idea. I installed this ROM and it got rid of all the bloatware and some different application settings a long with their new launcher. When I put NexTheme on it didnt seen to change anything from the ROM that I noticed.
installing a theme shouldnt change anything but the theme stuff. If you have a theme installed and install a new rom you are most likely gonna loose the theme and have to reinstall it afterwards.
i have seen that some themes dont play so nice with the "blurless" roms. but i dont use themes so i can't speak from experience.
I noticed that the previous version of tranquility messed with my corp. email and calendar. Some other ROMs did the same, has anyone who has a corp.email set up through exchange server installed this?? perfer not to use touchdown I like the 2.2 imbedded. So please let me know cause so far all I can run is 2.3.15 leak nobody else care much about the corp. thing and I wish I didnt have to.
i use an exchange server and have not had any issues with any roms stock or otherwise. I never had the 2.1 issue either so guess mine might be a "simple" setup compared to others. Works for me on this too.
what happens when you try to use the exchange server on these roms? what errors are you getting?
As it turns out P3Droid responded to me by saying that what I need is a part of blur, and that I can use corp email through the email app itself but it doesnt really have the same functionality and the corp calendar wont work and I cant sync everything so in my case I cant use it unless I use a third party app called touchdown and even that is kinda spotty. I rely heavily on this function.

In order to add back the parts you need, I will need to add back in a great deal of blur. If you don't mind I will work on it over the next few days to see what I can do for you to get you blurless and corp calendar.

My phone was NOT deodexed and is now a paperweight so be careful. even though it says it can still be odex it isn't correct and will cut you into bootloop and the next thing you know MEM_MAP Blank and you're calling VZW begging for a new phone.
also since there's no new SBF file yet you cannot fix it.

i took a quick look... it appears that it would not be an easy & quick fix / rebuild i dont think, the entire program is written to use and be depended on <uses-library android:name="com.htc.device" />... before taking on this project id wait out as skype said that att was suppose to get releases of its video call first so id think we cant be to far behind
For anyone interested, here is the deodexed apk decoded and built with apk-tool.

it doesn't work because it was not made for this phone. even if it did install, it wouldn't work with our camera because moto uses its own camera driver since froyo doesn't have one (gingerbread will). htc uses its own FFC driver as well.

Because they contain drivers for all the phones they know of with FFCs I would bet.

Probably right. Here is Motorola's API:
http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/library/motorola-front-facing-camera-api/
It is so frustrating that using the same system (android) and also having a front camera but we cannot use the same app (skype with video).
yup but that was specifically develpoed for the thunderbolt, I assume if it does get officially launched with it, it will be a matter of time before that spreads to being on other devices (much like when they launched skype in the first place on android) the key question is will they fix the sound issues that moto's config gives these voip programs.

as I learned in the (otherwise useless) motorola atrix dev conference, the FFC driver for the atrix is written BY motorola. Android 2.2 does NOT have a standard FFC driver and so every phone that has an FFC and is running 2.1 or 2.2 is using their own FFC driver. That is why Tango and Qik did not work for the Atrix immediately when it was released, and Qik had to release an Atrix-only version of the app.
When gingerbread comes across all devices, it will have a standard FFC driver. But until then, every company running 2.2 uses their own and that is why these aren't compatible apps.

More than likely, it's because AT&T didn't want Skype to release it yet.. the carriers have a surprising amount of influence on app developers. Think of how the Inspire and Atrix still don't have HSUPA enabled whereas the iPhone 4 has had it since its release. My guess is they don't want to overload their already fragile network
