Help with Android on Xperia please.

Hi guys, i'm new to this forum and would like to say firstly, hello and thanks to everyone for the info!. I've had my Xperia X1i now for a year and love adding apps and games and stuff but Android caught my eye the other day and i've spent nigh on 4 nights solid, running in circles trying to get info on installing the right version but to no avail. Would it be possible please to let me know step by step on what to install, how to get the correct version and also how to "tweak" the startup.t please? I would be forever in your debt. Thankyou.

Where do you get the idea all those problems are already solved ? Maybe asking in that thread would help. AFAIK no progress was made beyond what what HTC users did.

Welcome!!!
Hi!

If you're a lazy guy grab one of the packages our nice fella japanfred has put on his server. Get it here:

Please don't ask what to do with the archives, maybe you're able to point that out yourself
Cheers,

Much appreciated guys, and thanks for getting back so quick. i am at the moment trying to get my head round how much i need to play with this thing, (in a good way). I am in need of a good project to work on, and i think i've found it. Thanks again to you both. Hopefully speak to you in the near future.
Cheers.

[Q] Market Help Please!

Before i start let me say i have spent many hours trying to figure this out!
Tried many method to many to write down! but no joy!
i bought a galaxy tab p1000 th other day! it was on 02 so i rooted it and unlocked it! there was no problem there!
but after i hard reset my tab the market reverted back to the old version 1.82
not only this but app i paid for in the past didnt show up on "my apps"
The apps on the market were very limited no "z4root, snesoid, DVR," Just apps that say things like "rc1". weird!!!
i update the apk myself to 2.3.7 (root explorer) which gave me the new looking market but nothing changed with "my apps" and still limited apps on market!
When i got it it was android market 2.xx and worked fine.
Tried
-settings-applications-uninstall updates (and all other caches and probably fixes i found on xda)
google framework, talk, market updater, so on!! trust me everything......
-many hard resets
-unrooting/rerooting
This has stock firmware no flashing as of yet!!
Please Can you help!

For someone who has spent many hours trying to figure this out, you could've also spent some time to figure out the correct section to post in

After you figure out where this post really belongs (or when the Mods move it) try searching by name in the Market for the apps you bought. They should appear in the result and it should say "Purchased" if your main Gmail account is the same one you used for the purchase. If you then click on "Purchased" you should be able to install them
Works for me if and when my paid apps don't automatically load.
For some reason I've only had this problem on my Galaxy Tab but never on my HTC Legend where the apps always load automatically.
Also keep in mind that not all apps can be used on multiple devices even if you've paid for them

Well said!
It really baffles me why so many get to the stage of rooting/flashing their phone but don't have enough common sense to realise that they have no business posting topics such as this in here, especially when there is a dedicated Q&A section and this obviously a development forum.

Yes... utter nonsense and rubbish if you ask me. It's little wonder the Dev forums are so overcrowded with clutter

Cheers man, good luck on that Tab!

install market enabler and after rooting your device(check bible thread) run it and choose any operator, or custom with enabler codes app. clear market cache before running enabler and hopefully all'll be fine.

Hey dude, you are so COOL because you can write in caps
You cant expect help if you post in wrong place, please use common sense, If you post in wrong place, obviously somebody is going to point it out to you. I'm happy to help anyone as long as they have the courtesy to read forum titles/use search.

In the right section I'm helpful. In the wrong section I'll help too, even when the help is a rebuke. The people who rebuffed you did help with your greatest need - to get you to post in the correct forum so your problem gets attention, not your manners.

Seems like we have yet another happy customer. Good work guys!
Xda is a friendly community. But like every community there are rules, and you need a bit of common sense.
And I know I'm special, my mum keeps telling me.

Even in the real world we need to abide by the rule bro. The mods and devs here in xda are most helpful. We just need to know how and where to post. They may have overdone it in pointing out you posted in the wrong section, but admittingly it's really annoying if it takes you 5 minutes browsing through the pages because of too much unnecessary thread in the wrong forum. Its best if you just say "thank you for pointing it out".

[Q] How to become a developer?

Hey guys, Ive had my phone now for little over a month and have been using CM7 since Nightly 36, and I gotta say i dont feel bad replacing my old iphone.
But now i wanna get serious and learn more about becoming a developer. Just wanna know if you guys have any suggestions on what books i should start reading or links if you have any on how to become a developer. any tips and suggestions would be a big help and thank you in advance.

Hello mate nice to see another Iphone use getting to there senses and getting a decent phone
I aint a devloper my self but i would also love to learn about everything you said, I downloaded a couple of books
Sams Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours
Oreilly.Learning.Android
And to be honest it went way over my head and thats what put me off, everthing I tried didn't seem to work lol.
And it was more than what I could take in.
I sent you a PM

I once read a recommendation of a book named "Hello Android"
Seemed pretty solid to me.

Thanks but the part I want and says
The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs
The link says it no longer avaliable as its out of date are there any others

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys.
So far from what i read you'll need to dl the developers tools first. Heres a cyanogen wiki link to show what tools are needed
: //wiki.cyanogenmod. com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK[/url]
next theres an east starter app that you make to get you started on developing apps. from the android website: ://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html[/url]
so thats what im trying to do rigt now. ill update you guys and let you know how it goes

How to enter as xda tester

Hi I would like to test custom roms on Moto g2 so developers pls provide me links I will give you feedback

Hello,
Sorry but if you want to test ROMs then you need to find the ROMs yourself and try them and then give the developer of that ROM your feedback. Don't think they are going to take time out to come running to you and have you test their work. Go to THEM, they do not come to YOU. Use the XDA search feature to find the forum for your model and start finding your ROMs. Good luck.
You can start by going to the Moto G main forum linked below and look in the two development forums there for your ROMs to test.

Wasn't meant to be rude by any means. It was just a matter of fact statement. Don't get me wrong. You can find all the help you want here, just don't expect the community to bend to you, we get a lot of that here so you have to understand that as well. Good luck.

sorry to both of you i understood now hope i would be of help for the community sorry again

All good no problem

As spoken by my friend @v7 , if you learn something here, teach it to others, if you receive from the community, give to the community. Support your devs, if they do good work and you like using their ROMs and mods then consider donating a small amount or whatever you are comfortable with. Doing this allows them to create more and give more development for a broader range of devices, the whole community gains from it.
