I'm kind of new in android AOSP development, and I'm trying to click to the trackball and launch an app already installed (Camera App). I'm looking at the policy.androdoid, but i just doesn't understand how to gain controls of the hardware buttons and where to start.

How can I control the trackball light in a nexus one ? I found something with NotificationManager but the samples do not work for me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a FrameLayout view which contains one (MapView-like) control and some additional buttons overlaying it. (the layout xml is below).
I want to allow the user to pan/scroll the main view using not only touch but also the Trackball.
The problem is - using the trackball just switches the focus between all the controls on the layout, and I cannot seem to find a way to contain the onTrackballEvent to just the MainView. code...
Okay, I'm pretty sure my Nexus S 4G is running Cm10. I didn't root it, but I would like to know how to gain root access since it seems to already be rooted. I'll post a screen shot that shows my confusion. mobile app

View 12 Replies View RelatedImmediately after I booted my phone up after the update my trackball was glowing green telling me I had an email. I never set it to green. Id like to figure out how to change the trackball colors. I went through all the settings I could think of but apparently I missed it. Where is this located?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe only notification light I am seeing is the trackball glowing every 10 seconds. The spec sheet makes it seem like the led above the screen is also supposed to be used for notification ala my G1. I tested it using sms and email and the notification ringt one rings but then no flashing led, just the pulsing white trackball every 10 seconds. One thing I really liked on my G1 was seeing the notification led's and being able to tell if it's an email, missed call, or sms by the color of the led flashing. Is anyone else's led notifying them? Oh, and my led isn't broken. When I plug it in to charge it's orange and turns green when finished charging.

I don't have bluetooth on and have been using 2.2 build frf83 for about a week and yesterday while watching tv i noticed the change. Has anyone else encountered this problem. oh yeah if the phone rings then it starts flashing white but after i hang up it will return to the constant blue.

I was running Cyano before but I'm on FRF50 now. Is there any rooted apps that I can use for this or does it have to be a ROM with it built in?
Anybody else having this problem in 2.2? I'm not sure if it ever worked or whether it stopped working since I did the update last night. I tried changing the pulse notification light setting and doing a reboot bit no luck. I googled the problem and a few other people have reported the same problem but no solutions.
I've only tested email notifications and app updates.
Having come from an iPhone I find it somewhat annoying that I can't use the lovely trackball to wake my nexus one from standby.I realize it could be a problem if you pressed it in your pocket as it sticks out but I'd like to have the option to do it.Does anyone know if it is possible?
View 48 Replies View RelatedI'm new here & was wondering if there was any way to make it so that the trackball blinks more often than it does when I have a notification? It really irritates me how slow the rate is. I have to stare at it for like 10 seconds to know if I have a new message or not in class!
View 24 Replies View RelatedI have been searching for a way to get my trackball to flash when a calendar reminder goes off. It flashes on calls, text, email e.t.c. but not calendar?? I keep missing reminders because I'm away from my phone when the audible goes off and then I don't know it's happened....unless... I could have the trackball flashing too.
Does anyone know how to make the trackball flash when a calendar alert goes off?
How do you get rid of the stock apps when you are rooted but are still running the stock ROM 2.2.1? I have tried using Titanium Backup but I when I load it it comes up with a error message "can't gain root access". Check you're rooted (which I am) and are running a ROM with Busy Box (which I'm probably not)" Is Busy Box something that can be added onto the stock ROM or is their another option to remove these apps?

View 8 Replies View RelatedWill a Smoked Glass update delete or overwrite my flashed Motorola Droid thats currently on the Cricket service or in other words will it mess up my flashed service causing me to have to get it re-flashed back to cricket? Or is it like a somewhat update for ROOTED phone users that want to increase there phone's capabilities as compared to the stocked Android versions that were already released? I would hate to have to re-flash it even though its simple.Ok I did the update and so far the only problems are:
-That my 3G, or internet access through Cricket doesnt work anymore
-I cannot gain access to the Android Market, neither through Wifi or 3G (But as I mentioned my 3G doesnt work any more)
-I cannot gain access to GMAIL through App, even on Wifi
-GPS switch doesnt turn on GPS feature nor does the switch within the [Location & Security] enables the GPS feature
-In the [Add an account] the Gmail account has been deleted
-In the [Privacy settings] the only option available is "Factory data reset," Im not sure if thats a major problem but I thought I'd mention it But the plus's that I noticed so far are:
-The speed of my phone has increased greatly
-Youtube videos are now playable through the pre-installed app Does anybody know any possible fixes to the above problems, if so i'd appreciate it?
-Or to answer my question would my problem be fixed if I return back to my previous ROM that I backed up and then update it in order from v7 to v8 to v9 then to v10?
-Cause my previous ROM was Smoked Glass v6.0
-And if I do a factory reset will it delete my FLASHED service causing me to have to re-flash my phone?
The Verizon charger doesn't supply enough power to make up for what GPS uses, and I know I read of some kind of adapter that makes the car lighter output a higher charge for micro USB, but I can't seem to search for the right terms, can somebody help me?

Froyo is nice however it is not clean. There is so much bloatware on this that i cant wait to get rooted again so i can get rid of all of it.
Has anyone done this yet? Can it be done yet?
Well, upon attempting to read as much as possible before taking the plunge, I've run across a few methods to accomplish the same thing. I'm currently running 2.1 OTA(stock) and wanted the most basic way to root with the least chance of bricking.
I've gone through the guides, but have also run into DroidMod's guide on flashing 2.1 with recovery.
RSD is a little intimidating to me and I'm afraid if I breathe wrong on the phone, it will become a paperweight.
Is using RSD the only/easiest way to gain root? Sorry for the redundant question, however there are a few threads on this topic and dated within a few months of one another and I'm which route to take.
I'm wondering if removing the rom's bootanimation.zip will speedup the device in at least two ways:Bootup, by not having to load the animation; Overall usage, since the bootanimation.zip 's space will/should be freed on the phone's storage is any of those scenarios bound to happen and support my device?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI own a complete backup of all partition of the LG P990 with stock ICS, made it with nvflash with a command like this,
Code:
nvflash -r -read <-partition number-> my_partition.img
for all the partition listed in the partition table.
I guess that in someone of that raw image file, (outputted by nvflash), is located the entry system partition, (PartitionId=23 for the LG P990 ICS partition layout).
It's easy for every linux user to mount the raw image file, simply with 'mount' utility.
Browsing them we can find as already hypothesized the entrie android system partition!
If I copying in it the 'su' executable compiled for my platform, it could work?
I am a new Motorola Droid user. My phone came with 2.0.1 installed. I installed Instant Root 1.04 and attempted to run it but got a message "unble to gain access". I started down this road because I wanted to backup my phone so I could do a hard reset. So installed "Titanium Backup". It wouldn't run because my rom wasnt rooted. So i have spend 4 hours researching and each item i find leads me to another issue or program to install. Most everything seems to involve rooting. One question I have is if there is a difference between 2.0.1 preinstalled an 2.0.1 ota?
For background I wanted to reset the phone because none of the 3rd party contact or phone dialing packages will read the native phone list or contacts. I owned a Omnia i910 and did a considerable amount of customization on it to I am reasonably familiar with digging around in the guts for a general user.
I have a Rockchip RK3188 Tablet with Android 4.2.2, which I need to root ON DEVICE. Actually, the device was already rooted (using a Laptop via the adb bridge), so I already have busybox installed and I have one of my own apps in /system/app. However I managed to delete the su program (yeah great!) and therefore don't have root access any more. I know I can easily root the device again if I connect it to my laptop again, but that is not possible, because the device is at my parent's place and I can't go over there any time soon.
Therefore I want to root the device just with an app. Actually I would only need to copy su to /system/xbin. These are the things I already tried (without success):Framaroot (doesn't work, because framaroot does not support Rockchip tablets)
Writing my own app, which contains su in the assets and using this su for temporary root
Using adb (on the device) for a local connection (adb connect localhost), because if I connect from my PC I automatically have root (doesn't work because Android 4.2.2 has increased security on adb)
Start telnetd via busybox and then execute my commands via nc (doesn't work, because I can't start telnetd in a way that it ends up with a root shell)
My last idea is, that I could maybe gain temporary root access with the app I already have in /system/app. Basically this would be similar to the Master Key Exploit, except that I do not have to fiddle around with the apk and instead install it normally. However I don't know how to continue from that point. I know, I have special permissions if I have an app in /system/app, but which permissions are that? And how can I use those permissions to make /system writeable (and copy my su file there)?
Is rooting mean really exploiting a Kernel vulnerability to gain root access?
If there are no vulnerabilities, no root access?
why doesn't Android allow root access by default like other Linux or windows...
