[Q] Playing a song when booting android. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello forum,
First of all I'm not sure I'm posting this where I should.
I have searched the forum for the information I am looking for but no luck so far.
What I desire might not be easy, not sure if it's even possible:
I know that my girlfriend needs and wants a tablet(a simple one) , so I ordered a serioux visiontab s800 which will be shipped today.
I want to setup an app or if possible in another way, to play a certain song when booting the tablet. Or even after it has booted. I just want it to start playing a song all of a sudden
If this is possible , I might want to start working on it asap, since I will give the gift on Thursday.
Do you folks reckon that is possible?
Thanks,
Deletu

Here's the simpliest method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539795
Just create a poweron.ogg file and put it in /system/etc (ROOT NEEDED)
if that didn't work:
I believe that you can , just find a timer program that works as soon as the mobile boots , here's how:
1-Search on google for a method of adding a startup program , "How to add Startup Programs Android", google is not working for me so sorry.
2-Search on youtube for "Android Developement Tutorial" by "thenewboston" , it is a series of 100 Episodes , when you reach Episode 20 , you'll have known how to create a music file that plays when the app is launched , so in your case , you'll add that music and make it play once the app is booted.
3-Make the App you created above play on startup.
4-You're good to go
Or you can make the music play on shutdown!
If I helped you please click on the thanks button.
EDIT:Found good threads on how to add startup programs:
http://www.ehow.com/how_12022095_add-startup-applications-android.html Just download startup manager and do that.

Not to break the initiative or anything, but you've made four posts in this topic, containing nothing that's not yet on xda-developers. The applications you mention all have their own topics, except for chipperX, which if I recall correctly, you've opened a topic for yesterday, asking for opinions on the on-screen gamepad?
Ok hello welcome to the thread tomasz. To answer your question is very simple. Iam new to this , so what I have done was download some games and apps and tested them out. After I tested them out I will put here what works. This way a thread could be made with already tested downloads , not just downloads that might not work. And no the chipperx game download is only here.
Pocket pc pong 480x800
This is a simple game just for fun . Shoot the ball to the top beat the opposing paddle. Little pac-man type charactors pop-up after you score , hit him and your score jumps high. I thought the game was fun but easy at the same time
ok you have anything to add

Toshiba folio 100 users - general info

Dear Toshiba Folio 100 user.
I have created this thread to use it as a place it discuss all ideas, suggestions, problems, improvements about this device. In this way we can clean some of the general issues in the Dexter ROM thread.
Regards
Marcelo
Applications using the big screen ?
Looking for the best (screen usage) for email and calendar.
The email client in 1.0b is the default one for Android, looking at the email client in Samsung Tab its much better at using the big screen. Also the Folio is much better with white/light background as the "stock" email-client does not have.
Any pointer to a better app ?
The calendar app is much better and uses the screen much better.
Please write about your experiences with apps that works with big screens and works good on the Folio.

where do you find email client samsung???
Using Startup Manager, would it be possible to disable the phone service or would that result in a nuclear explosion or something like it? i mean, is android dependant on it one way or another, or would it be safe to disable it?
why foliomod ?
Hi to all
mhgonzalez great idea to create this "general" post.
I bought two folio for as Christmas gift, now they are hidden .. but, when I can, I do some test.
I never used android till now but I'm trying to understand why I should install foliomod. During my little usage I didn't find any bug, I only wasn't able to open a ebook (.epub) using the default reader (and I have put the file in the Books folder, anyway) but I suppose it's only because I need to improve my "knowledge".
But at the moment no bugs where find, all the apps installed work properly, wifi it's ok and, after I installed flash plug-in, browsing is ok too.
Not only but I was able to find the few app I saw googoling around the web.
What the folio mod make me able to do more than this ?

Download the app "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" from the market, enable it, and set the background image you want in the settings. YAY! HiRes background

That is one of my frustrations. The current email.apk on the folio, as well as the calender, look pretty terrible. In email, I can't even scroll through the different emails, everytime I have to open a message, read, close and open the next. Even on the (rather basic) email.apk on the Galaxy S I have small arrows on top with which I can scroll through to the next or previous message. The Galaxy-TAB email.apk doesn't work (well) on the SGS either.
Also, Samsung have another email-client from com7, I'can;t get that version installed ( a specific Samsung version with great HTML-email-presentation, but alas, missing scroll-arrows also). I'll check the com7-site to see if they have a more general Android version of their email-app and come back on that one.
So if anyone has an other email.apk which works on the Folio, let me know.

Dear Kakkio.
Modding the most important in my case was to be able to download application from Android Market, reason why the Toshiba Market is a joke. It depend on what will you do with the Folio. If it is only to browse internet and reading book, dont mod. If you need more, I recomend to mod.
dear mhgonzalez
tnx for your answer, in a few word you give me axactly the info I needed.
Mainly I'll use the tablet to read, listen music, watch video and browsing... but I like to "play" so, after a few, I'm sure I'll go to install foliomod...
In this moment I'm installing android emulator on my ubuntu in order to get a little bit more involved.

I quote a post from "pekka91166" from the dexter section because I think is perfect for this section ...
"...I agree with one of the earlier posts on Android (especially Tegra2) tablets versus others, including iPad.
If you're simpoly looking for a tablet which works and works very well, get yourself an iPad. And accept it's a pretty much closed OS.
If you're looking for a working Android tab, go for the SGT, although I'm not sure how well the TAB is working.
With all these tegra2 tablets, we're in for some disturbing months. Right now, these products all seem to suffer from pre-release firmwares which haven't been adapted well enough to the powerful (and partly cheap) hardwarechoices the various suppliers have chosen.
In the case of the Folio100, I knew very well I was buying a product with factory-default rubbish FW, but after reading Dexter's posts I figured it was worth trying, playing, failing and reinstalling.
All in all, I'm happy with the Folio, it's definitely NOT the product is should become, but pretty decent workeable and, last but nost least, FUN (and irritating at the same time).
I just hope Toshiba will, at some point, come with an acceptable FW AND that, in the meantime, Dexter and others will be able to cook some nice firmwares based on 2.2.
The Folio FEELS at some point very powerful, so the Tegra2 should be able to perform, but most of the times it seems lazy. For me a clear indication its the firmware of the machine. Unfortunately, it's a bit the same with a Galaxy S-phone. Powerhouse, but the firmware (2.2) is yet not there to unleash the full power.
Let's hope we'll get 2.3 running on our Tosh and that it supports dual-cores. I expect until then we'll have a nice (and often frustrating) toy to fiddle around with....."
why mod?
For me the big disappointment with the Folio was that none of the Google stuff worked and I expected this from a device with Android.
Dexter has fixed this with his mods and now i can see all my picassa pics in the Gallery, my contacts calendar and email all sync perfectly. Try Google maps with the street view addin and zoom down streets, spin around, it is the sort of app that the tablet excells at.
He has also fixed the Market and there are plenty that are free and work great like tunein radio, some are worth paying for like Bria if you want a good sip client.
I have gone for the v2 mod as it seems to fly, It is not perfect but it is 1000% better.
Others have found v1 mod better for their use. Dexter has made it easy to try them and roll back and has proved to be adept at fixing issues with easy to apply updates , he can also be stimulated with his Donate button, Early reports are that the other tablets arriving with Froyo are hardly better than stock Folio all crippled at birth. Anyway I am grinning. I had a Nokia N800, ****e at first but then the second os release brought it to life and included a cpu overclock. Some have said we are not using both cores properly so I am looking forward to the next Android even if we have to stimulate Dexter to make it work again
but after foliomod I'll found the original apps ? or I have to re-install them again ? or I'll found others ones ?
and if toshiba will create a FW upgrade I'll have to roll-back to the original state to install it?
sorry for the stupid questions

Some will be there and some better ones have been included plus you have acess to the market where you should find everything you need , this is a bit trial and error but people will hopefully post reports of apps that work well on the folio. Yes you would have to go back to stock rom to get the Tosh update. Hah lets see if that comes:
Hi!
Somehow I got stuck in the Foliomod V01...
When I'm in system recovery trying to upate to a later version I only get:
E:Can't mount DEFAULT_PATH
Finding update package
Opening update package
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Formatting MISC:...
When I choose: apply sdcard:update.zip
The same message pops up.
Anybody who has got an idea, how to fix this?
stuck
I would delete the update.zip and put a fresh one there, check on the pc that the zip opens and is not corrupt. Ian

Anybody know a way to use bluetooth for tethering, like it's possible with the archos tablets?
I've got 2 phones here wich are capable of making a dial up connection, but they are not as advanced as complete smart phones.
First is a LG GD510 POP and the second is a Samsung U600. Neither phone has a wlan connection, so it must be connected through bluetooth.
I can make a bluetooth connection with either of them and can send files and contact cards to them, but a tethering connection is not (yet) possible.
I know in the archos tablets, there is a possibility to tether, but in the folio (and mods) it's not.
Searching only delivers solutions, where the android device is the phone and a pc is the client or where a connection is made through wifi.

i dont there is any need to compare other hardware platforms..
the you could say Windows7 works fine with flash, but my android does not..
or my milestone works quite wll too, but still not same platform...
Best is put into accepting Toshiba/Nvidia is still work in progress, other major companies seems to plan using tegra2 and then we will for sure see much better support..
Toshiba released the folio100 too quick, comparing to Malata T2 which is still not out, as they realize its not in an acceptable state, although Nvidia is helping them to improve, they have yet to release their tablet and provide updates.

[Q] Wolvol netbook

Hello Everyone,
First off, thank you all for your part in this oh-so informative community you have built. It has answered many questions I have had in the past. I have created a account in hopes that I can get some help with a recent netbook that I got as a bitrthday gift.. It's a Wolvol 10 in netbook, running Android 4.0.4. I like the system well enough but it doesn't support video playback (i.e. netflix, hulu +, hbo go..). I am not super tech savy, and just recently got my first android phone which introduced me to the world of roots & roms. So, im here looking for direction/advice on how to take full advantage of my machine. In the settings it lists "About my Tablet", so im not sure if I can find a root that will work searching elsewhere, or if I need a custom ROM. I will give any info on the netbook that I can if it helps me in my goal.
Thank you again.
Anyone? Please? Bueller?
I just did some searching for this and unfortunately found absolutely nothing on it. So it doesn't support any video playback? Sorry but I don't see netflix ever working on it without an development community or unless it get's an update for it.
Captain,
It will play YouTube and most video off sites directly, but with Hulu: it will download the app off playstore. When opened it gives the message "Device not supported [142]. We're sorry, but video playback on this device is not currently supported". On netflix: I can download the app off the playstore but when I open it does nothing. HBO Go: Supprisingly the app works perfectly. I hadn't tried downloading it yet under the assumption that it would be same as netflix. So that's a plus. Still would be nice to make use of my other video services though. Guess I will keep my fingers crossed for either a system update, or app updates. Thanks for looking into it
I also go this as a gift. Any rom or any development for this netbook?
password help
Hopefully somebody on here can help... My daughter got what i believe is a white WolVol 10.1" netbook that she got from a friend before we moved out of town. Well heres the dilemma, She forgot her password and now we can not get into the netbook. I tried pressing ALT f10 or f8 and nothing pops up except the android symbol. Ive tried to push the reset button on the bottom of the netbook and still nothing ive exhausted all of my options here please help me out so i can help my daughter out...

[Q] n00b wanting to make a XMAS gift/app for my GF

So it's the holidays and I'm very very poor right now. I've trying to think of things to make for my lady, and one thing that came to mind was an app! lol, she's on her phone a lot and she knows i love messing with my phone so I thought it'd be a cool idea to make her a custom app, something simple, maybe with a splash screen that shows a pic of us, and then into a love note, followed by some pics of us.
So that's my idea, I've tried making this on one app maker, the crappy conduit one, but every time i installed the APK on my phone (nexus5) it never showed any of the stuff i made on their site.
So here's the thing, does anyone know of a good and easy app maker I could use that would allow me to basically design it, and have it make the code for me, and the APK? I have eclipse setup on my system so i may be able to any editing and whatnot...but, seeing as time is a factor (i only have a few days) id love to get it done in a matter of a day at least.
any info or tips would be greatly appreciated, im no coding genius but i can follow directions quite well lol. Thanks!

oh nah man, i dont need it on the play store. this is just a personal thing for her. I would send her the apk to install on her phone (i'll probably be right next to her to show her how) and then she would just open it, read the note and swype through some pics of us. I just think it'd be cool for her to have an entire custom app that's her and I, instead of just some slideshow online that anyone can do these days.
