I'm reading and trying to follow this tutorial: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html
The problem is my connection isn't as fast as I need to do a full "repo sync" and, as far as I understand, I need only to make something called "otatools". The question is how can I download only what I need and what exactly do I need to sync?

Ok, here's one to test you.
i've had to hard reset my XDA 2 times since i got it, and each time i have to create a new profile on Activesync, is there any way i can use it with the same profile and if so, how do i do it, because so far, whenever i've tried it it just says there's already a device with that name, please choose another name

Nice article, but i think not that inforamtion that jjones wanted.
His prolem is, that after a hard reset of his device, he has to create a new connection in active sync for his device. He would prefer to use the old existing configured connection.
As much as i know, it isn't possible to do so. The other question is, why he has so often to hardreset his device....

well first time is when i sent it in for repair, and the second time was when i dropped it and it hard reset itself

Jjones,
I think I posted too quickly and mixed up my intention.
I have found on the web site http://www.mtekk.com.au/browse/page938.html, a section suggesting you can rename your device to the name of the previous partnership.
I have never tried it but did promossed myself I would try it next time as I'm seek of uninstall/reinstall Activesync to keep the default POCKET_PC parnership.
See the past bellow for direct instruction.
Rebuilding your Pocket PC after a hard reset.
....
Next, after restarting the device, correct the clock and time zone as before then set its Name using the Start | Settings | System | About | Device ID screen. It is permitted to reuse the same name as before, although this entails one extra step in Active Sync - before connecting the device with the same name, you must first delete the existing partnership of the same name.
If there are multiple partnerships defined, select the correct partnership first using File | Mobile Device. Next select File | Delete Partnership and answer Yes. If you wish to delete the synchronised files folder (the <device name> My Documents directory) select Yes again. I strongly recommend renaming this folder and selecting Yes here to ensure no traces of the previous partnership remain, you may always copy files from the renamed copy into the new one once created. Otherwise there always the chance of old redundant or even incorrect data getting across from the previous build.
Now, connect the freshly reset and renamed device to the PC and establish a standard partnership using the wizard, let it synchronise all your contacts, etc. as desired, reload all your software and finallygo back tothe start of this document and configure your backups!
Greetings. Been haunting this place for awhile, happy to finally have root.
After the phone is rooted the last step is something that sweeps up a bunch of SE's stock apps that most people don't want. What about us who actually liked a few of them, though?
I would have liked to keep the app called "TrackID," and am wondering if there's any way to get it back? I can't really find like a repository for the base APKs (I might want the Mixi plugin for Timescape back in the future, as well).
Can someone rip these out somehow for individual installing?
Here it is:
http://rapidshare.com/files/403753839/trackid.apk.html
Just install the apk.
Its works for me.
Nice threat, nice anwser.
It works fine with me too.
Thanks!
Preventing the rooting process from removing apps
Hello, You could just enter the step4 folder and open the cleanup.sh file in notepad or similar.
Remove the line saying rm *packagename here*. Then your app will only be copied to your SD, but it will also remain on the phone.
track id request
i couldnt download the package, the link no longer works :-(
Could someone uóad it again to another server? Because its a common problem and will br of much help thanks
http://balsat.hopto.org/builds/seX10-system/index.php?dir=..%2FseX10-system%2Fdir%2Fsystem%2Fapp%2F
ok... but now...
I have the app already installed, but now evertime it tries to connect it says "authentication error".... help?
I gave up and rooted the phone again, i went from steps 1 to 3 with no problems, using track id everytime to make sure it worked, and it did, I even used the cleanup script and it was there working very well...
So, I used steps 4 and 5 (for the X10a) But now it wont work... it says "authentication error".... what gives?
Sorry for my english, I´m from mexico...
Everything on my phone is working fine...
For TrackID I can only say that it was probably a rights issue.
Use chmod or Root Explorer to set the rights(644).
For step 4 and 5 i cant help,i have only a 3 step X10i ,sorry.
But dont give up, i think u find the help here on XDA.
Hey all, I've had this issue for quite awhile and have looked around extensively on the internet before coming here. So if you don't wanna read what I've already found out, just skip to the last paragraph for a summary of my problem.
So I have a home automation system setup for my house and I'm loving everything about it. I already have an app on my Galaxy S that will let me control the devices. I took it a step farther and delved into how to send commands using the HTTP post commands. I've already created perl scripts that can activate and deactivate the devices, but as you know Android doesn't have perl inbuilt.
I want to be able to make a shortcut on my Android device to start the devices. The reason why I want to do this is simply because I want an alarm on my android device to trigger a shortcut which turns on everything I want in the morning without me having to actually touch my phone. I already have the Alarm app that can open the shortcut, but I need a script that will work.
I need a shortcut that would enable the devices. So my first thought would be a bash script (and make a shortcut using Gscript for the Alarm App). But there's the problem, because I don't know how to send a http command from the Android terminal. I know (and have tested) perl commands, but perl isn't available for Android. That was the only way I know how to do this. I know you can use java, but then you're creating other files and to me it seems too much of a hassle. I just need something that can access the http page without opening an internet browser or anything else.
Summary:
I need a shortcut on my android device that accesses an http page without opening an internet browser or any other program. The http page has a standard username/password prompt, but can be easily worked around.
What's the easiest way of going about this? If a shell script is needed, what would be the command to open the webpage without opening a browser?
Things to know:
- Weblink only needs to be opened (no interaction required) for the specific device to be turned on
- Website is password protected using standard http protocol (but can be worked around if there is a problem)
- In perl, all I would need to do is issue the following command to get the devices to turn on or off:
perl -u username : password h-t-t-p-whatever.com/device_3_on
Sorry for the drawn out post, but I really wanted to explain my situation as best as I could. I'm sure there is probably an easier way that I'm missing here, so I need help from any and all people that would know about these things. Any [helpful] advice is welcome
I was wondering if there's a way to read the data being sent from my phone.
There is app that I'm working with and I need to read what kind of requests it makes (eg. Either GET or POST and where)
I installed Charles and Fiddler but the app doesn't load fully. I also did a TCP dump, and nothing.
If this is not possible, is it possible to fully decrypt and apk?
I used apk to java but I get a bunch of errors when I load the output on eclipse. It looks like there are code missing.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
PS: Yes, I did search before posting.
Hi all,
Just wanting a little bit of help with a script to sync a folder from one device to another? (main purpose is for game progress).
Over wifi if possible. even FTP would is fine.
Though the tricky thing is i want the script to check which has the latest version and only sync the newest.
Can someone give me a draft script? i can generally work out the rest.
Or even just a link to a site that can help would be great. (will press thanks!).
I can script well with VBS though linux stuff is all new.
