Hi guys im new to android so forgive my ignorance.
When looking at task manager there are 2 processes that i find suspect.
The first has no name and just has the android package icon.
The second is called log master, is this a text logger?
Im also wondering why some apps need access to the personal and phone areas of my device.
am i being paranoid?

If you can uninstall them then you probably installed them, if you try to uninstall and it's greyed out, it's probably a dell thing... I could be wrong.
Its probably dell then.
as a general rule are the apps on the market safe?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Well... yes and no. I mean, an app shows what it has access to, so you can download them and know what the app has access to. If you download a tetric clone and it has access to everything... then I might be a little worried.
Yeah like i see some games have access to phone and location but i cant understand why

Games that have access to location is probably just a high-score system which tells you what country/city you're in.
Not sure about the phone though.
the blank one is the home app I think.
logmaster appears to be for debugging, like lots of the other dengineering stuff lazy Dell left in there..
Thanks for the advice guys im probably just being paranoid

The games need tuo know when the phone is ringing so they can present you with an option to answer while pausing the game

I would have thought you would have had a free trial first to see how it goes but saying that will download later and thanks for you imput and work
Android Market lets you try for 24h before actually charging you money. Just get it and cancel the buy when not working. I didn't think of a trial because of that.
Best Regards,

Unfortunately it didn't work for me. Great idea though. Will keep checking on it for updates.

2.1 on an O2-UK Streak.
@wez Im running 1.6 on unlocked German Streak so thats the point
So open question: could anybody capture the intent sent by dell music player on 2.1?
must be ending with ".metachanged" or ".playstatechanged"
Bet regards hans moleman

Need This Intent
I just NEED this intent captured for further development.
I would be willing to capture it for you. I am unable to get last.fm to work with 2.2.
No clue how to do what you want done though so I might need a little tutorial.
Why bother using Android Music Player..Use Double Twist instead, works perfect with last.fm. Just saying.. ;-)
EDIT: and its free
Really now? Sweet! Thanks

It seems like my laptop is blocked to install any applications and programs, so the point is can I tether internet from my streak to the laptop without install anything on it (my laptop using win XP)
If u guys have some ways to use it, tell me please.

Yes, as I understand it, your laptop will just see your streak as a wifi hotspot.
As long as you have permissions to can connect to wifi networks, then that'll work.
i have done this before, connecting my PC tp my Streak
What app r using ? Actually I want to tether via usb but can I?

For USB-Tethering with older Versions of Android (1.6 and 2.1) you need for example "EasyTether". It is an App for Android and a Desktop-tool for the PC. It is free. Because you have to install this on your Laptop, it is problematic with the permission.
I'm wondering if I can use wired tether with my streak?

I tried it with my Streak with froyo and a Netbook (EeePC) with XP: USB tethering works plug-and-play without installing software. Also Wireless tethering works perfectly without additional software.

I was looking at how yahoo video plug-in uses the HTC front camera and found out that it calls “com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.FrontFacingCamera. getFrontFacingCamera();” to load it. So I baksmali-ed the com.motorola.hardware.frontcamera.jar and changed it to look like the HTC version so YM can use it.
ADB Method (YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO APPLY IT):
1. Extract YMFrontCamADB.zip
2. Connect your device in Debugging mode (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging)
3. Run YMFrontCam.bat and follow the instructions.
4. Close the process for YM plug-in.
5. Make a video call.
YMFrontCamCWM.zip and YMFrontCWMCamRemover.zip can be used for CWM un/installation
NON-ATRIX devices should use the ADB method as the CWM method is specific for Atrix only. If the ADB method doesn't work, download the com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.zip, extract com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar, copy it to your /system/framework and change the permission to 644
2011-05-31 - Updated to support more devices.
Gingerbread devices (using the standard 2.3 front camera API)
Motorola
Samsung
LG
Dell Streak and Streak 7 (Untested)
Huawei (Untested)
Other htc devices without the com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar (Untested)
Feel free to edit the source and make it work on your device
2011-05-31 - Updated YMFrontCamADB.zip script to fix mount command on other devices. The new script requires busybox (rooted devices should have it anyway)
2011-06-11 -Updated YMFrontCamADB.zip and com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar to fix the exception in integer "Parameters" values (samsung, dell, lg). Source code FrontFacingCamera.java.zip is updated as well. CWM method NOT updated.
2011-07-03 - After more than 2 months of hiding and distributing the APKs in secrecy, I’m now attaching them in here. I was advised not to post modifications for Google Market APKs here and so I did but as I can see in other threads, everything is allowed.
For a fix that does not need root and ADB stuffs, you can download the APK versions. First you have to uninstall the YM and YM plug-in from the market, install yahoo.im.apk (a must) and choose one among the plugins that suits best your need.
There are 4 versions of the plug-in I made. Some users reported that their devices got the wrong camera orientation (side-ways, or flipped image) and so I made 3 additional versions that add 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise to the orientation. It might or might not show the correct orientation on the android device but the transmitted image should be correct. Another thing is that, FFC and back cam doesn’t always have the same orientation so fixing the other might break the orientation of the other; so choose which cam you prefer to use.
Awesome! Haven't tried it out yet because I'm not home, but sure hope it works. I wonder if it works with other apps... any chance of looking at Vtok and Ovoo?
EDIT: Confirmed, it works with Yahoo. I used the com.htc.hardware.twinCameDevice.zip method and not the CWM flash, but have no reason to imagine that the other method wouldn't work as well. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Doesn't seem to work. I used the cwm zip to apply the update. I can see the flip camera icon but it never switches to front camera.
Update: removed and applied again through cwm, works like charm! Thanks for sharing.

Hmm, since it worked for me perfectly extracting the jar, maybe you should try it that way?
Worked like a charm!! Many thanks to this!!! Now i can slowly let go of my 4

I have a modified version of ooVoo that works with the atrix's front camera but I'm not sure if I can post it here or not.
I believe though that ooVoo will very soon release the version that supports the atrix and the front camera. Their code actually includes the loader class for the front camera but for some reason, it is not yet included in loader array. Maybe it is still under testing.

What version are you using? I'm using the french 4.2.1 sbf (bell). Maybe it's just a versioning issue. I'll make one tonight (GMT - 5) that will actually load and use the motorola library to avoid versioning issues.

You have to mount /system as read/write. If you don't know how, it should be easy to find out on google.

I remember seeing that Skype with video was out for the thunderbolt, any way we could make that work using a similar method?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
According to what a few other people have said, that app was coded with a lot of lines of code specific to that device... so it would practically be quicker to start from scratch.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Do you believe that this will work with the Xoom as well seeing how they have the same camera drivers?
It's sure worth a try, I bet so. If not, the same method (renaming the default camera framework file to the htc version) would work. Try it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've updated it and changed the code to simply load and use the existing driver from motorola. It should be easy now to port to other devices.
Works perfect

Wait for ICS which is coming up real soon and it'll include screenshot.
Is there any app in Market that can provide this function for razr?

ScreenShooter ER works fine but you need to be rooted.

What if I don't have the root access? Any apps support this?
Sent from my XT910 using XDA App
No root screenshot it works well on the razr. It does require you to connect the phone to a computer for the initial setup, and you need to reconnect it to a computer everytime you reboot your phone. The app is also about $5. I'd wait for ICS unless you really need this capability now.
try pulling "Screen Grabber apk" from one of the X2 ROMs
it work GREAT on the Razr
Anyone can provide this?

I am using DDMS from Android SDK Suite. Yeah, you need to connect your phone to PC, but, still usable.
Here I attached my Home screen. BTW, I change the default Motoblur to stock Gingerbread Launcher2.

how do you do this exactly? sorry newbie
ddms is a part of Android SDK suite which you can download from android.com . This suite is Android software development kit for PC/Mac/GNU/Linux. Download the suite and related packages, enable Debugging mode in RAZR, connect to PC, and start the ddms program. This program is a java based program, which use adb to pull framebuffer from the phone and convert it to PNG format.
Beside using ddms, I explained how to use adb and ffmpeg to pull and convert the framebuffer into PNG in this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20567738
You can look/google for ddms tutorials for further information.
There are several screen capture apps in Market which not requires rooting. I use this one, but, the developer need to add RAZR resolution to make it usable. Yeah, I choose this app and I don't mind the extra steps, because it is FREE.
