parts of XDA dont work on android phones? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my nexus and as i recall on my MT3g and g1 as well, when im in a forum or in a particular thread and i press "search" the box comes up but immediately disappears when i press it to try to bring up the kb.
So im curious if others are able to use the search function in XDA from their android phones (or maybe its a mobile device problem in general), its kind of funny to me because of all functions not to have access to, "search" is the one that really sends people into a vicious depression. good times

You are not alone on this. I noticed this after flashing Froyo. I use advance search as a work around for it.

Interesting. For me it definitely was an issue even prior to froyo and in fact I believe it happemed as far back as my mt3g and g1. Glad to know its not just my phone, obviously we can still just search through google but its a strange issue to have nonetheless

I'm sure it has to do with the WebKit version of the browser. Try Dolphin or Opera, it should work.

itransmogrify

I have recently come off of using an iphone and started using the dream and was wondering if it was possible to port itransmogrify to the dream. I am posting this because I here so much complaining about lack of flash support and wondered if this could be a possible solution to the problem. I am well aware that this is far from full flash support but I found myself constantly using it on the iphone and to say the least it is very convenient to have. Here is the link to the itransmogrify website http://joemaller.com/2008/1/12/itransmogrify/.
Please do not flame me if this is not useful or if it needs to be posted somewhere else if it already is posted somewhere else I am simply trying to help the community out by showing the developers something they may not have previously been aware of. I really hope this helps.
P.s
I own both the iphone and the dream and hands down the dream is better!
if u look into it you will see that there is nothing to "port" it is just an javascript. the only problem is that the Android browser will add an "http://" infront on javacript, so you cant use it as an bookmark. but if you klick on the link on his page, it works on android the same way like on iphone
hmm
I wonder if there is a way to stop the browser from putting html in front of java ill look into it and let you know of any break throughs thank you for the help.
How
how did u get it to work on the g1 im not sure i understand what you did

where's the sense Rom?

I've never posted but I can't figure this out. I searched Google but the only sense roms I found were from February. In xda-nexus-development there are a bunch of themes stock roms, but I don't see any full sense roms. I remember when I had the g1 and the sense roms were slow but everything except Bluetooth worked. I'm sure by now there's a Rom that pretty much makes my nexus into a desire, I really want to try out full sense. But I can't find one anywhere. I know the question sounds dumb but ive seriously looked, I even downloaded Rom manager and looked through its lost. I know it exists because it existed for the g1 and the nexus blows the g1 away. Sorry, I need help.
I call bull**** that you've searched.
As of right now, the sense rom thread is holding a very prominent position in its respective forum.
Not all that helpful, but here's a few tips ronjeremy. Use the advanced search, you can narrow your search out with it (choose only the forum sections you need). Second, look in the development section, you usually find all roms there.
For instance, for Nexus One try here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=559
Why don't people use the search bar? It takes even longer to wait for people to respond than to just "search" the damned thing.

can you link me to "the sense rom thread"? I believe you that it exists, but it must not have the word in the title because when i searched on google, i found "sense" roms that were very old, when i searched this forum there was 1 thread with the word "sense" in it, none with the word "desire". No Bull****. So I dont know what to tell you, maybe i should look in every rom post and if there arent screen pics maybe i should flash every rom? Because its definitely a lot faster to post a question than open every single rom thread.

i tried, i just want a plain sense rom and i couldnt find it
Not gonna link you to it, you'll never learn how to search. I'm glad others aren't spoon feeding it to you either.
Just head into the right forum, hit CONTROL+F and search for "sense" or "desire." Even without searching, I can see TWO sense rom threads within the first page of the appropriate forum.
And when you search in the forum, just search for titles only and just search for "sense" or "desire" in the right forum.
@erikikaz you are too cool
dont know why you would even want sense (unless you absolutely need the htc facebook app or the FM radio)... sense was great about 2 years ago
vanilla froyo + adw/qd, etc have far surpassed the sense UI
I'm using CM 6 with black notification bar, imported sense live wallpaper and launcher pro plus (which is adding sense-like widgets constantly), and the weather and clock widget and I get a sense-like experience without the graphical glitches and Rom bugs. Yeah I paid for some of it, but supporting developers is never a bad thing and once purchased the app is mine across any Rom I install. Unlike sense.

You have no friends. Is this supposed to be some sort of lessen that you are blessing me with? Because I think you're a douche bag getting some sort of loser-jollies from withholding a link to an internet thread, its sad. But its also funny, but I'm sure you're no stranger to people laughing at you. So what are you fat? Got a lazy eye? Maybe your boyfriend told you that your peckers tiny? Get over yourself, I did search, I'm not allowed to post links, but believe me I'd post the link for you. Now I'm on my nexus one, when I press "search forum" the search box appears and disappears so what next? Maybe you could hit me with another one of your life-changing, eye-opening, "this hurts me more than it hurts you" queer lessens? i see one by "evil" which isnt right, i see one in a guide by paul which is 2.1, is that as new as it gets? no flash on sense on nexus one?
well. i think the closest rom you'll find is the MCR, Modaco Custom Rom. i waited for those rom too, but idk why, it seems the development was canceled. i don't know for sure. try to look for MCR in android development.
In fact there was/is no completed Sense Froyo port until now.
evil's NXSense ROM is almost complete now (besides USB mount notification and some small BT quirks).
There's Alpha of kingclick's Desire Froyo port (not on the forum).
Look them up, flash, compare, see what you like.
thanks for the replies, i tried modaco it was pretty great, but i instantly missed flash and wifi hotspot setting. But the rom was really smooth, if a froyo one pops up im in. Is the evil one you are talking about going to be themed like his current one or will it be the way it is supposed to be?
Oh no, you've hurt my feelings. It's just terribly unfortunate that none of your descriptions fit me. I've tutored many kids like yourself. You try to teach them through the Socratic method and all they do is reverse their inability or unwillingness to work through a problem on you, blaming you for their failures. Nothing new.

So tell me, did control+F work for you or not? And if it didn't, did you heed my advice and actually just head over to those forums to look at the first page of posts? If so, you're welcome.

Don't be so easy, sheesh. Here comes a lesson, ready?. Try using the search bar at the top of the page. Guess what? When you click it, it won't disappear! And I already told you to search under titles only. Hopefully all this information isn't already over your head.

Complain much? You asked for sense roms and you got them. And if you actually did some more prodding you'd find that modaco actually has a 2.2...ahh, screw it, find it yourself

It's themed the same as his previous ROMs, but there are themes that you can flash over it to get the original sense ui theme. I believe the theme is even posted in evil's thread.
I've been running evil's Q&D NXSense v.1.04 rom since it was posted and so far it seems really complete (besides BT issues and no FM radio - which I never use anyway).

I9000 rom, should i flash back to stock before flashing something like cog.

Just a quick question....just wondering, im running the geomod rom right now and was just wondering if it is recommended to flash back to stock using odin before i flash to the latest cognition....or can i just flash cognition right from the rom im running???
Thanks in advance!
Definately. If you don't "something" gets left behind as, for sure, the startup gt i9000 logo at startup will still be there. At least, it was when I did it anyway.

i notice lots of posts like this, and i wonder, 'in the time it takes to get an answer back from the forums, you could have already flashed back to stock and reflashed your phone with another rom.' why bother asking?

it has NOTHING to do with i9000 or captivate roms, or even not wanting to answer the question...its called common sense, some people have it, and obviously some people dont. i question peoples common sense all the time and notice that as time goes on, people use less and less of it.

Just wondering if you have any done any quick searches. I have used the search function many many times and often found that even though the questions might have been answered before, they do not show up in the search. It's not like this question is posted on the Captivate Android Development section. It is posted in the right section so why ***** about it?
As to the OP, I wouldn't know since I haven't flashed a i9000 rom yet but if you have any problems, you know that you should go back to stock and flash cog.

And i thought the iphone users were the ****in ass holes....a lot of times the general quick search doesent come up with exactly what im looking for...and with these phones you have to be precise with what your doing...thats what the Q&A forums are for....and if it concerns you that much just exit out of it dont post gay ass comments
Preach it brother! It has been verry frustrating getting info on any androis phone. It seems that the devloupers live in their on little world and are to good to help out someone who needs info.
I do have to chime in here and say that this is actually could have been answered with commone sense. i9000 is for the european community. So with that said always flash back to a stock condition when going either way from i897 to i9000 or i9000 to i897. Once on that base rom then you can choose to flash either back to stock or just flash over provided you are going to the same based rom
However I can say that even though this may not have been asked exactly before there are more then likely references to what to do in this instance in many of the threads. Again it also sometimes helps to think outside the box when doing a search as well.

do you feel guilty not having any common sense?
congratulations, you have joined the majority of society.
seriously, though. go to ANY friggin ROM thread on these forums and the recommended way to flash is always FLASH BACK TO STOCK!!!! how hard is that? where did you get your rom? did it magically show up on your phone or did you download it from somewhere and follow some instruction on how to install it?
i know that in your anger, you will refuse to understand this point of view, and thats fine. the info is there for semi-sane people to comprehend.

Would anyone like this?

A stickied folder for Help and Troubleshooting for both apps and themes? Or each their own? Please be gentle. Since so many people are using different builds, just wondering.
lol guess not!
The problem is people don't use them. There are existing threads that were written to explain how to install, etc. You can go through any one of the rom threads and see the same questions asked over and over and over. I have stopped answering the blatant "I didn't even try to figure it out" kind of questions. You want to play with this stuff I feel you need to put in the effort to figure out how it works before you do something. And how to fix it when you inevitably break it. Freaking out when your tablet bootloops and then just asking the same stupid questions again, and again really does get annoying... The major issues that you can run into have been solved, and answered in numerous locations, numerous times. You just have to look for it!
That is done by reading! A lot of reading... I answer a lot of questions. But rarely ever ask one. Why? Because 9 times out of 10 the same question has already been answered. You just have to learn to use the search button at the top of the page.. Or search Google for the subject. This tablet is not really that much different from any Android phone and a lot of the info applies.
If you are not willing to try to help yourself maybe an Ipad is a better fit.
So, if you want to write an FAQ have fun. Maybe people will use it. But I wouldn't really get my hopes up that it will stop the people that won't read, are illiterate, lazy, whatever the excuse is from asking the same thing over, and over...
I agree with you 100%. I was just wondering if a mod could make a sub folder. But like you said I'm not sure everyone would use it. I appreciate the response.

Most of the questions I see that repeat are the questions where someone no longer has use of there tablet because it has bootlooped, or some other evil thing. So they must have had use of a PC to ask the question. I think it is more a lack of patience, OMG! my tablet is dead and the sky is going to fall kind of thing.
Take a breath, slow down for a minute. The world won't stop spinning because your tablet froze. Take some time and read! And like magic... The answer will likely pop up from a number of different threads.
I really do understand the mentality.. It is a part of life today. Instant gratification without having to put any effort into anything. Maybe it is just because I am older but I was raised in a generation where asking a question normally got answered with a question! Like did you look in the book? Did you try and figure it out for yourself? Did you do anything to help yourself before you asked the question? And then it may have been answered with a big slap in the head!
I have always tried to look at things as if I am stranded on an Island in the middle of the Ocean. The ONLY way to get off the Island is to figure out a solution.. And unbelievably every manual ever made just happens to be on that Island. Well, I'm gonna get off that Island. I'm going to take the time to read.
With the use of the elusive button we call "Search" you too can have every manual ever made! Or at least have most of your answers.. And you too can get off the Island!
I was more or less asking if those questions could be moved to an isolated area lol, I use the search function. But sometimes the meat can get covered up by the potatoes so to speak.
once again thank you for the quick reply.

Change the button mappings so that one of the buttons do not exist, and see if that gives you an on screen button. To the best of my knowledge ICS detects hardware buttons, so if it thinks there is no physical home/back/search button it will create an on screen version.

There is such a thing called a library, or a friends laptop, hell walk into walmart and do it.
Also if you ask if something is possible it implies that you don't know. If you new it was possible you should ask for a port of this feature with links. I stand by the statements I said earlier
I think he posted this thread as a joke. I sure thought it was funny good one
why are we all such negative people, like seriously come on now. OP, they have a point, search nextime. But everyone else, you dont have to be so instantly judgemental and negative toward him. there is a polite way to tell someone something, and swearing only makes you sound ignorant like you dont know how to form intelligent sounding words. this site is for our hobby, everyone cheer up, geez.
You guys need to relax , it was a request . I know how to search I wanted to see if someone had the same interest or had it for personal use . Seems like the threads title was "My GPS doesn't work" CHILL

I agree that rudeness is not needed but:
#1 You posted a request in the development section. Questions or requests should not be posted here.
#2 You should have posted in your OP:
a. What you are requesting
b. The conditions you are in / working with (status)
c. What you have looked up already
d. What you have attempted already
The last 2 are key - its shows you are not lazy and you are genuinely trying to fix / solve the problem yourself.
Good luck
