Develop Bugs

Welcome to the improved XDA-developers forum

First of all: don't worry. Everything you are used to is still here. Your username still exists, all the messages are still here, and we're all still here.
There are a few changes though:
You can set a country flag, as well as which device(s) you have and a home GSM-provider. These will be displayed in icon form with your messages. It's completely uncomplicated and much more fun if everyone participates. So please use the 'Profile' button in the menu above to set these things for you. They help others help you by knowing what device you have and what provider you are using.
Topics now have an extra property, which defines whether they are relevant for the original XDA, for the XDA II or for both. A small icon shows with each message. You can set this property when you start a new topic.
The separate XDAII board is gone. All messages there have been moved to the forum where they are most appropriate (see below). The fact that the messages were originally posted in XDAII now shows with an icon.
We now allow attachments, both in forum postings and in Private Messages, sized up to 50MB (!).
The boards have new names, and are slightly re-organized:
[list:42f131921e]
General
Current events, news, etc.
Using it
messages formerly in 'PocketPC' go here.
Not too technical, about use and peculiarities.
Unlocking it
formerly called 'Unlocking'
Networking it
formerly called 'GPRS/WAP settings'
Stocking up for it
formerly called 'Accessories'
Upgrading and modifying it
formerly 'ROM updates'
Hacking it
formerly 'Programmers corner' and 'Other techie stuff'
Anything but it
formerly called 'Off-topic'
[/list:u:42f131921e]
We currently use the plain-vanilla 'subSilver' phpBB style. Expect further changes to the way things look over the next few days. Please let me know by clicking 'PM' under this message if anything that used to work for you all of a sudden isn't working anymore.
Hope you like it...

New look
Sexy!

Wow ! well done ! :wink: certainly a lot of work ...thanks

Sure does and it looks good too! 8)
But found the following to be missing:
no USA T-Mobile listed under GSM Provider
no AT&T radio stacks listed under Radio Version.

We're still confused about all these Radio Stack Upgrade numbers. And if we are confused, imagine what that means for the poor folks out there. But I will include some more numbers tomorrow...

A couple of suggestions:
In the ROM Version setting of the profile, there should be a "kitchen" option for 4.00.16, since this is on at least one kitchen (perhaps "kitchen" ought to be a check box?)
I don't know that I would have chosen to have a merged 'update it' forum for XDAI and XDAII. Most readers are interested in info for one device and dont care about the other.

Done. I might make it a checkbox later on.

I was planning to create a one-click filter option for 'viewforum.php'.

Why damn, this blob-thing is ... growing.
As you may have seen the forum now has it's own hostname: forum.xda-developers.com. All existing links (/forum and /phpBB) will redirect to the correct thread or post on the new hostname (using a rewrite rule and sending HTTP 'Moved Permanently').
The uncompressed database for the forum is now 40 MB, the entire site is sending and receiving a few GigaBytes per day, to and from over 2500 unique IP-numbers each day.

Congradulation!
Hello
Well done and great work, keep it up.
thanks with best regards.

looks alrite but i miss the yellowy colour scheme now looks like every other forum on the web lol :roll:

how strange ...
the DB is only 40Mb ... this fits on 10% of my stamp size SD card ...
and yet, with just 2500 db-access (and how many posts? probably 100kb)
we get Giga bytes of traffic....
Just think how wasteful we're with current technology....
This goes double for a Pocket PC with two wireless communications,
100's of Mb of data, 400Mhz cpu ... and all that it does is displaying
who is calling your phone
Hmmm ....
[this is not a flame of the site or the PPC.... just a note on the status of the information/software age of the 21st century in general]

Looks

No worries: this is temporary. There will be some proper design-work done on the entire site.
This is a good opportunity to say "Thank you" to Mario Giambanco, whose ideas and kind offer to work on the site prompted me to do some cleanup first, which resulted in the changes you see. Between him, myself, and hopefully some other volunteers we can now start to do a major overhaul concerning the looks and stale content of the main site.
The new 'main site' is going to be database-generated (from the phpBB database), and will have at least 'News' and 'FAQ' pages, pointing to topics on the forum. This will mean the 'main site' will be much more of an up-to-date tribute to the collective work of all of you on the forum, instead of a somewhat stale collection of some cool stuff we did way back. Creating layout in the way we did it before is just too much work.

Welcome to our new face
It looks very nice :lol:
But maybe we need added section: download & upgrade hardware ???
:wink:

very nice

Simply An excellent job

I preferred the old one. bah humbug

Thank You!
Thanks! For all the hard work it is much appreciated :wink:
Keep burning the midnight oil, it can only get better! ( like the XDA II )

Hacking it ?
I written quite a few custom applications for the XDA and your site has some interesting infomation that has helped me.
I have replied a couple of times too with some code snipits.
All was very professional.
Now the Programmers Corner is under Hacking it, so I must of now become a Hacker. An interesting term, that I will have to add to my CV and see if it effects my future software appointments.

At last! Your decision to migrate to 2.0.6 is very welcome
If you interested - I can suggest two mobile adaptations for phpbb:
- read only version optimized for using as Mobile Favorites/Avantgo channels
and
- fully functional version for using from mobile devices.
These versions were developed and tested for one of the mostly visited (264,100 messages currently) PDA-related site in Russia http://www.handy.ru/board Unfortunately, all of the site is on Russian, but you may look though the following links just to smell it:
Mobile Favorites/AvantGo version:
Setup channels (Controls translation: forum name; timeframe; pictures (all/smiles only/none); link conversion mode; signatures on/off)
Ready-to-synchronize channel link (two days plus vacations, smiles only, links converted to text, without signatures).
Online mobile version: (banners should be visible from desktop PC only)
Forum index
Forum page
Topic discussion
All security is the same as in desktop phpbb version. Almost all functionality is implemented except site administration, advanced moderation panel (topic joining/splitting/mass deletes) and profile changing/private messaging.
These forum versions not include support for skins or language resources (sorry, but I develop them as fast as I can). So translation to English and slight adaptation to your mods (if any) needed. But I'm ready for this job.
The only main forum changes needed are:
- adding 4 lines to template variables array initialization;
- modifying 4 template files to add links to mobile versions;

It seemed like a logical term to combine 'Programmers corner' and the little used 'Other techie stuff'. We think of the term 'hacker' as meaning a benign and very advanced programmer or techie, and not in any negative media-sensationalist terms. (Even though some of us do smile when we take the SIMlock off.)
Ofcourse if you think the rest of the world would see this differently, you're welcome to say 'Programmers corner' in future job applications.
I sincerely hope this linguistic issue will not keep you from continuing to benefit and contribute in the future.

Speed of the forum. Maybe a solution?

Hi all,
I don't know, how about you guys, but last weeks the forum speed was terrible for me...
There were some threads, about it before, but i think this could be a soultion. However, it could also be just a coincidence.
So I think, that the problem is not directly in the forum, but in the DNS resolution of it's internet name.
So what i did today?
There is a file in "C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc" (on w2k - maybe different on XP) called "hosts".
you can assign names to IP addresses there, so the system will not query DNS server for the IP address. UNIX/linux guys know, what i'm talking about..
so I added these two entries there:
Code:
82.94.252.245 xda-developers.com
82.94.252.245 forum.xda-developers.com
And the forum is now faster than FAST...
However, as I said, it could be just a coincidence and someone finally fixed the forum's webserver or something else.

The best solution is to develop a set of skins for the forum that will be optimized for small-bands (WAP), low-bands (56k modems) and high-bands (adsl...)
This will boost the speed of the forum and will save lots of money for both hosters and visitors

Works for me buzz!
I have Windows XP Pro so the location of the hosts file was C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Nice find - Well done! 8)

I agree. When I browse this forum through GPRS the traffic goes through the roof. PDA version of the forum would be nice...

1800PocketPC.com WP7 App [Dev Thread] Need some help please. Pretty please.

So, Ive made the app for 1800PocketPC & thought I would make a thread about its development,
mostly because I need a bit of help from those with greater knowledge than me
Saijo (the owner of the site) has already made a thread about it over here CLICKY.
There is also a page on my website about it here: CLICKY
Features:
Displays the latest article from your chosen feed on the homepage.
Shows feeds from these different areas:
- News
- App Reviews
- Game Reviews
- General games news
- Free games news
- Xbox Live games news
Displays articles in a mobile friendly way.
Gives you the opportunity to contact the site or the developer (me).
Due to the youtube plugin not working in 3rd party apps, links to the
mobile youtube page are dynamically added to the menu.
The same applies to marketplace links, which would not open strait
from 3rd party apps, links are dynamically added to the menu instead.
You can view & add comments posted on any article.
There is landscape support throughout all but 1 part of the app.
You can also get achievements!
You can download the current version here:
Or you can like it on Facebook here CLICKY
Im currently working on the next major build, which will add:
Twitter & Facebook integration.
Overall UI improvements.
A better mobile reading experience.
Full portrait/landscape support.
Location based advertising off by default.
Now, what I need is help with at the moment is facebook & twitter.
I found a brilliant tut here & I transplanted some of the code from there, so It can now share articles to facebook.
My problems are these:
I don't know how to post to twitter.
I don't know how to get & display all posts from someone's facebook wall (namely the bestwp7games & 1800pocketpc pages)
I don't know how to get & display all posts from someone's twitter account :/
So yeah, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Google hath fail'd me

Being as polite as possible, you need to search. If you ask questions like "how do I ..." you're not really progressing as a developer, as the two services you mentioned have amazingly detailed and well-defined APIs.
I will point you to the kind of Google queries I use to find these answers, that way you can keep developing without wasting time waiting for other people to answer:
Twitter: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=update+twitter+status+c#
FB Wall Posts: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...ebook+wall+posts+c#&pbx=1&fp=b0dc1443d535784d
Recent Tweets: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=b0dc1443d535784d

Thanks. You're right, I probably should have searched more.
I was a bit afraid Id find something & try working with it only to find it didnt work with WindowsPhone :/

JAVA apps in MainMenu and Desktop

Hi there!
I kept the thread about java apps in menu:
Code:
h ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=[HTML]912270&page=6
Now, I want to implement those icons to MainMenu and Desktop of Bada 2.0
I have seen callings in other branded firms to Java Apps in the Menu. There were modifications in HsMenuItemURL.ini and MainMenu_Init.ini. The calling to the Java app or ID was set in 210.
I tried the same with OperaMini, which is set in ID=80. The Java app shows but it does not open, nothing happens. I think I'm missing something. Maybe, some file to place the ID and relate it to the .jar. Don't know yet.
Any help? Any solutions?
[EDIT] Success in running some Java apps from the Main Manu: Opera Mini and Google Maps. Only some IDs known. Any list of rest of IDs?
Best Regards!

Do you explain it for bada 2.0 and add more java apps main menu. Thanks

Hi, there is some ID's if you need:
109 - Dolphin messaging
110 - orange games
164 - search
in this interval 97 -112 - orange maps and app shop
in this interval 33-48 - my music, orkut

I know about the IDs already
But this is not the spirit of sharing/open sourcing the work done....This is like "Download this Custom to Know"
I am too lazy to download and look into it right now but when i do this i'll explain what to do to get this as advertised ....Maybe i'll say how to get unlisted apps too
Best Regards

There is 4 files to modify:
-MainMenu_Init (in CSC\SystemFS\Settings\PreConfiguration\Default\Registry)
for exemple:
// Navigate
MenuID4=163
MenuType4=3

- HsMenuItemURL (in CSC\SystemFS\Settings\PreConfiguration\Default\Registry)
for exemple:
#Version
Version=1
#URL
MenuID25=http://m.youtube.com/?client=mv-samsung-bada
//Java midlet
MenuID65=Palringo
MenuID80=OperaMini
MenuID108=Deezer
MenuID163=NaviGate
Click to expand...

- KJxMidlet (in CSC\AppEx\SysDefault\Java\_ini)
for exemple:
#NaviGate
class=com.google.googlenav.GoogleNav
vendor=Google
name=NaviGate

- KJxDispatch.ini (in CSC\AppEx\SysDefault\Java\_ini)

vendor=BlogMusik
name=Deezer
#NaviGate
class=com.google.googlenav.GoogleNav
vendor=Google
name=NaviGate

Click to collapse
And place your java application in AppEx\SysDefault\Java\Games
This does not work with all java applications, only with predefined ones.

Lasetenza,
For main Menu we have standart list of predefined application, but
we can change java application, now i can start Jimm by shortcut Palringo.
for it we need to correct class, vendor and name in KJxDispatch.ini and KJxMidlet.ini
And seems that all string from menu located in System.rsr, and i think we can correct name of java application. But i don't know how to correct icons((((

Sorry I didn't answer before! I'm on my exams time
It is exactly how lasentenza explained, modifying those 4 files. No more interesting IDs found nor found the way to implement other apps with a custom ID. However, I am still researching, I'm a stubborn

[MTCD/E/P] Radio app reverse engineered

Hey,
I created my own Lauchner and wanted to integrate the radio functions.
Since I didn't find any information on the internet about how the original app addresses the radio module, I reverse engineered the app.
To make it easier for others I decided to start an Android Studio project.
The project is only very basic to show how the radio module is controlled.
I also added an extension to it.
Using the RDS signal and a SQlite database the station name and logo are displayed.
I hope it is helpful to anyone.
I uploaded the project to Github:
-https://github.com/zebbel/MTCD-E_Radio-app
(Sorry I´m not allowed to post links)
Kind regards

Great work!

Hey,
I have compiled the CarManager module into a jar file for easier use in Android Studio projects.
To be honest I never tried to understand how it works exactly, because it just works :laugh:
I know that I downloaded the files somewhere on Github, but I have absolutely no idea where.
If the "creator" of the files is here please let me know so I can give him credit.
-https://github.com/zebbel/microntek_CarManager
(I need still more posts to create links )

Thank you very much for your work!
Thanks to your library I realized a widget that reads (and shows) the battery voltage value.
I have a question : do you have a complete list of "type" that can be used ?
In you example you attached to your handler the types:
- Radio
- KeyDown
In my case I used "CarEvent" :
Java:
CarManager carManager = new CarManager();
CarManagerHandler carManagerHander = new CarManagerHandler(this);
carManager.attach(carManagerHander, "CarEvent");
In this way my Handler is receiving all the CarEvents. The voltage is contained in the message tagged as "battery".
There are other types that we can use in order to catch other interesting events?
Thank you,
Salvo
