Setting system date doesn't work on Nexus One? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the following code, which worked great on my HTC Hero but doesn't do anything on my Nexus One; what am I missing?
Code:
Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.DATE_FORMAT, "dd.MM.yyyy");
Do I need to use different code for Android 2.1 or should it work but just doesn't?
Regards,
BTJ

Hmmm.... Isn't this possible on the Nexus? :-|

htc sync for dream (g1)

hey,
today i realized that there's a software named htc sync. whith it you can sync your android phone with outlook on the pc via usb cable.
the problem is that it is only available for the htc magic and htc hero.
do you know of a way to sync my g1 with this software?
thx
can someone help me? i think it would be interesting for more people - not only me!
It's in some HTC based ROMs like Hero and Rogers. Not many people use it though so many dev's strip it out. It's in Haykuro's 6.0 which is a nice HTC Rogers ROM. That ROM, like all HTC ROMs, will only work if you have Haykuro's SPL. I believe it is only in HTC ROMs and not google based ones. If it isn't in a HTC ROM you want try PMingthe dev, and they may be able to tell you how to push it back.

can you explain to me what you mean? PMingthe?
now i understood^^
you meant write a pm to the dev of the rom...
yeah i'll try it. i allready wrote to cyanogen. he's a really tough guy and i think if he's interested in this he'll do it very fast
My BAD!!!
I forgot which sub-forum i was in lol
any ideas?
I'd like to know this too. My Rogers Dream supported HTC Sync, but not with the custom ROM I have now.
can somebody help us?
no ideas? really?
Not many people want it, so it's normally pulled from ROMs. Contact the devs of Rogers/Hero ROMs and ask them how to push it back in to the build.
Anyone found anything out about using HTC Sync on the G1?
My G1 won't sync anymore with the google calendar and I tried literally everything (including wiping my G1, installing a new ROM, completely deleting the calendar on the G1 as well as the google calendar - nothing helps at all). Therefore I'd love to have a local sync for my calendar...
Any news would be greatly appreciated.

Please refer to my earlier post on page one. HTC Sync requires PC software and files cooked in to the ROM. It's not included in google source ROMs, only HTC ROMs like Hero and Rogers, but hardly anyone uses so it's removed from most ROMs.
Thanks. So I'll have to find out how to get these files back into Cyanogens ROM, which I use on my G1...
If anyone has done this yet: feel free to post a short how-to

Since it's HTC's app, it's highly likely that they are tied to the HTC framework, which Cyanogen no longer includes (fuggin' licensing issues :-/). A couple of people have tried on ROMs including th famework but they didn't have any luck. It could be as simple as smali/baksmali-ing the apk's but I don't think anyones tried that either. Really your only option - if you want HTC Sync - is to go with a HTC based ROM.

[Q] Official android 2.2 screens

Hi! I'm newbe so if i did smth wrong, take my apologises.
Can anyone who already got official Froyo on his Legend (i've read that Vodafone got it) show how it looks without HTC Sence? I think that the pure froyo's design, like on Nexus One, is the best and i will be very disappointed if HTC will add something to froyo for Legend. Thank you!

1. Question section is elsewhere...http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=596
also see http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=610
2. look around a bit, Custom ROMs as Juicy, CM 6 and other(senseless) ROMs are what you want..

[Q] Original Sprint HTC Hero Android 1.6 rom

Hey guys,
Been looking for an android 1.6 rom for a Sprint Hero looked through the forums but couldn't find any with links that work.
I'm just looking for an RUU thats 1.6 since the 2.1 rom doesn't work well on it.
I'm not looking for a rom that I need to root for, this is for a friend so the easiest and least risky way of going back to 1.6 or another better than 2.1 rom.
I hope I didn't miss this in the forums because I don't want to waste your time, just been trying to get this issue fixed for a while.

Roms are for rooted phones only You need rom manager, superuser, and a recovery as well.

I guess I'm looking for an RUU then, I know you can install different versions of the actual OS without doing anything special, done it many times before. I'm just looking for Android 1.6 from Sprint, not a custom one because that requires rooting it.
-Thanks
It had 1.5 originally, then went to 2.1. that's why yer having trouble finding 1.6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608434
hope that helps. I think it's a rootable 1.56.
Thanks! I downloaded it and will try and install if probably later today! With that ROM do I simply have to click ARU Wizard for the RUU (like the RUUs from HTC) or will I have to use other files in the folder?
Thanks again by the way.
No problem. I hope its what you were looking for.

[Q] HTC J One HTL22 - is it worth it

Hello XDA,
I realize there is not too much information around about Japanese version of HTC ONE (aka J HTL22). I am wondering should I get the japanese version with osfaiukeitai and microsd slot or normal version. Here are my concers - please let me know if anyone has any clue:
1) Will it be possible to root the HTL22 ? if so, which method works?
2) Will iot be possible to use/install custom ROMs from this forum to HTL22?
3) Will MicroSD and/or osaifukeitai work with a custom ROM? I realize drivers will be needed for that. Is it possible to retreive the drivers from original ROMs and incorporate them into the new Custom ROM?
4) is it true that HTL22 is sold sim-unlocked, as rumor suggest?
any advise and info will be very appreciated!
Thank you
Bump. anyone. pls?
I think you better to consult with Mr.fnoji - you can contact him with Twitter @fnoji.
As far as I know -
1) yes. Use the revone with alternative binary.
2) I doubt it, but, people like tako0920 or fnoji are maintaining their custom roms.
3) J One's custom rom can exploit the unique MicroSD slot, but I don't know if xda's custom rom does have that feature also.
4) No, you should unlock it with fnoji's method.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your reply. Any chance to get URL where HTL22 ROMs made by tako0920 or fnoji can be found? i could not find those on XDA.... woul;d be great to have HTL22 dedicated forum...
Checking twitter meanwhile.
Thanks so much

I'd like as much information as possible as well. I just picked up this phone and would like to know what options are available. Does anyone know if regular HTC One accessories will work for this device?

I think the accessories will work, but it will help if you are more specific about which ones you want to use.
As for root - the only way to root and unlock the phone is to send it to someone who knows how to do it. Root-unlock method is not available publicly.
Althouh it seem like J-version ov Revone will work and unlock the bootloader. It will be easy to sim-unlock the phone once bootloader is unlocked. However, i do not know which command does it. trying to find out now. any help/ideas are welcome.
Yeah, if I fail to find an unlock method for HTC-One online, i think I am going to Galaxy s4 Active-Orange... I know it is not quite water-proof but I like the design very much
hi,
actually, i am still on the stage whether to choose HTC J One or other phones (like Galaxy S4 SC-04E or Xperia).
so, i would like to get your opinion about HTC J One.
right now i am still using Softbank but I am planning to switch to au or docomo by next month.
is it really worth getting the HTC J One? or if you have the chance you're getting a different one like SC-04E or Xperia?
are there any problems like lagging, stuttering, freezing, etc?
at first I plan to use it as it is. simply stock. just to have all the functions/features working.
but I noticed in your signature that you have successfully rooted your device.
i might do the same as well if i'll choose HTC J One...
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have recently bought myself an htc j one and am looking for an easy step by step guide for rooting it and installing a custom rom. Also will I be able to make the handset sim free so that I can use it overseas when travelling? I hope somebody can help me. Thanks.

[Q] Root and Custom ROM on Verizon HTC One Mini 2/HTC One Remix

Hey guys,
So I recently got the HTC One Remix (the Verizon version of the HTC One Mini 2) and I would like to root it and install a custom ROM for it (preferably Cyanogenmod). The problem is verizon makes it hard to do any of these things and sadly switching carriers isn't really an option any time soon so I am trying to make do.
HTC-Dev reportedly won't work with verizon phones and many of the solutions for the HTC One Mini 2 don't work for the Remix even though they are essentially the same phone. Cyanogenmod has the HTC One Mini 2 listed as a supported device but I am not sure if that will work with the Remix because a carrier is not specified.
I have yet to see anyone who has had any luck, so is there anyone out there at all who is running a custom ROM on a rooted HTC One Remix? If so, what did you use to obtain root (sunshine maybe?) and what custom ROM are you running?
I'm majorly new to this sort of thing so hopefully the solutions are relatively easy so I don't end up bricking my phone.
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

As far as I can see there aren't many hardware differencec between the two phones. The only problem is that at this point there is no other way of unlocking these phones then trough HTC dev. I don't think there is a lot of development going on with unlocking with other methods. How do you know HTC dev isn't supporting your device? Did you check if "All other supported models" in the list?

It a verizon exclusive and HTC Dev doesn't work on verizon phones. The carrier blocked it. There's also a disclaimer somewhere deep on the htc site.
Thanks though. I'm just frustrated because I like the phone but I also really want to root it. I've tried a couple of the easier methods like sunshine and towelroot and those don't work I'm only on 4.4.2 but with my low skill level in this area I'm not sure if there's much I can do. I know s-off and root aren't the same thing but that's supposed to make it easier to find a way to achieve root right?
Aha then i'm afraid there isn't much you can do. Only wait for s-off because but I don't think it is goanna happen. My previous device is a One X and they had a huge user/developer base but never achieved s-off. It seems HTC really did a good job at closing this down.

HTC One mini 2/remix stock recovery
Hi. I might be able help you here.
Here is a link to what I'm pretty sure is the stock recovery. Note this dumb forum won't let me post links, so reassemble this yourself..
h t t p s
w w w . androidfilehost . c o m
/?fid=95784891001615233
Can't remember the exact cmd line.. something like adb flash recovery <file>
Now for the rom, I'll have to see if the link I got it from is still valid when I get home. There's a guy 'jcase' I think on the IRC that uploaded his personal backup that worked for me.
To be clear, the rom is for the HTC One 'remix' - Verizon's branded HTC one mini 2. There is NO working cyanogenmod that I know of.
btw you will need the TWRP recovery to restore from the rom backup when you get it, so the stock recovery might only be useful if the flash still has the recovery image on it.
Certainly worth trying first.
Good luck,
-M
Xda Devs, please we HTC one remix users need a custom Rom and s-off for our device.... We would really appreciate it if you help us
