I just rooted my moto droid. Now I am wondering if it is possible to drop 1.5 or other versions of the OS on the phone and if so how? If anyone could explain how I do this or link some forums that explain this. Or is there maybe a dual boot option b/c I don't want to always us 1.5 only for testing purposes.

Our team developed a fairly robust multi-touch implementation for PhoneMyPC that has worked since Android 1.0. Our code still uses it on pre- 2.0 phones, but of course we use the 2.0 multi-touch API on the Droid.I've been stunned that no other apps (that I know of) have supported multi-touch (in pre- 2.0 Android), and I'm curious if the community at large might like our implementation. We've been considering publishing the technique on our website. Although pre- 2.0 Android devices will dwindle now, they still represent a vast majority of current devices. If you're curious how well it works, download PhoneMyPC to your pre- 2.0 phone and give it a try. It's usable in the *Snapshot*, *View Live*, and *Interact Live* features.

I have seen posts on using handbreak to convert to the correct file size and such but i was trying to just drag and drop avi files to the evo but they dont seem to be showing up once i disconnect from the pc. Is there a way to just drag and drop movies onto the evo or do i have to convert each one i want to put on the phone?

Before i have to take the train to work i like to just throw a movie on the phone and watch it but it doesnt seem like ill be able to do this with the evo cause ill have to convert them all and that will take too long....

I have : Firmware : 1.5 (2.0 is out right :S?)
And build : 2.73.405.5
Are there any updates ?
Is there a website I can check to see what the latest versions should be when I go to About Phone > Software Information, assuming stock everything and only official OTA updates? I just want to see if I'm current on everything, although I think I am since my phone came with Froyo.

View 8 Replies View RelatedGot a HTC Droid Eris the other day and absolutely love it.However, when adding a new contact on the phone, the drop bown menu box only lists "Phone" and does NOT give a "Google" or "Exchange" option as is indicated on p. 72 of the pdf "User Guide for Droid HTC Eris" by Verizon. I have examined 3 others Droid Eris phones of friends/family, and on each of their phones when adding a new contact the drop down menu box does list the "Google" option in addition to the "Phone" option.The problem with not being able to select "Google" as the contact type is that the contact information does not "sync" with the Gmail "Contacts List" online.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can I publish two versions of my app without changing the package name, so that users may upgrade to either version, one for Anroid 1.5 and one for Android 1.6 ? I want to offer new features requiring Android 1.6 as soon as possible, but not all users will have upgraded to Android 1.6.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe requirement is totally simple: I want to have a lite and pro version of an app. There is a little bit of difference between those two apps, but they are 99% identically. Unfortunately it seems that the best choice is to really treat this as two projects that are one and the same and copy over the source code and assets from one to the other. The Android Manifest file must be different, because the Android Market - for some reason - makes the implementation's package name the ID. Working around this ID issue the straight forward approach would be to have a third project with the common code that exports its code, libraries and in a best case scenario also the ressources to the other two objects. Unfortunately this doesn't work. Only the actual Android projects generate the R.class and so the common project would need to be dependent on it..

I want to use the same eclipse project to maintain only one source code (or two projects that refer to a generic project). My problem is that the names of the package have to be different on the market (eg: my.android.app.lite and my.android.app.pro). If the package names are differents, the generated java ressource files are differents (eg: my.android.app.lite.R.java and my.android.app.pro.R.java). So, the source files must point to differents R files according to the version (pro or lite) and I have to change all the import...
View 6 Replies View RelatedWe are upgrading our application to add 2.0 support. I have read http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/api-levels.html and the older blog post http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/backward-compatibility.... I want to avoid using reflection if possible. I have found that if I set my minSdkVersion="3" in the application manifest but in my build path in eclipse point to the Adroid 2.0 jar file I can compile with direct calls to 2.0 code (with the relevant code to ensure they are not invoked on <2.0 devices). My question is will people with pre 2.0 devices be able to see the application in the market place in this case? What are other people using for multi-targeting different API levels with the same package.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am planning to have two versions of the same app available in the market - let's say "App-Lite" and "App-Advanced". They both almost the same core functionality, but App-Advanced has a bit more specific features, than the App-Lite has. Now I am thinking what would be the strategy of deploying those two apps in the market. The simple way is to provide different name space in AndroidManifest.xml for both apps, so "App-Lite" and "App-Advanced" would show up as two completely different applications and could be installed parallel on the same device. But I'm also thinking about another way of installing the App-Advanced version - like an upgrade to the App-Lite which might be already installed. To do this, I can just set the same name space for both app in AndroidManifest.xml, so after installing one app would replace the other one - I can do this from adb command line, but I'm not sure how android market would behave in this case. Will it show them as two different apps, will it show them as two different versions of the same app with the ability to upgrade from one version to another, or it just will not allow to publish two apps with the same name space? Is this scenario doable with Android Market?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on an app that uses the rating bar (stars) to allow the user to grade information. The SDK version is 3 (OS 1.5 - <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3">, but the rating stars are shown incorrectly for devices with OS 2.1. I read some posts in the forum that suggest to upgrade the SDK version to 4 (OS 1.6 and higher), however this will excluse 1.5 users to download my application, and I do not want this to happen, because there are still a lot of 1.5 devices.
This makes me wonder: Is it possible to publish two versions for the same app simultaneously? For instance, publishing one APK for version 1.6 or higher version and another APK for 1.5 version simulataneously in the Market, both intended for the same application.

I have implemented a SearchManager which make uses of a searchable.xml with all the settings and put it in the xml/ directory.
I tried to create a new directory called xml_v4/ to add some attributes (the android:includeInGlobalSearch ie) which isn't supported in sdk3/1.5 but the xml directory seems not to be supported by the dir_suffixes.
How do I deal with this?
Is there a way to manually revert back to the older version of some apps? the new update of the g4 app sucks because the videos aren't high-res anymore.
