Music player only - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it posable to make a device only have and run 1 app such as a music player

Although I do not know the purpose of this, you can always download root explorer and navigate to the system to delete all the system apps. Or more recommended would be to download an app 'freezer' in the market. Be sure to back up before attempting this. You could potentially damage a device by deleting to much (correct me if im wrong).

Sync app for games

Hi, i'm trying to build (really don't know if im able to) a sync app for the savedgame files of games
in this case i'm starting from one game, Sword & Sorcery..
But i have 2 questions before starting...
1) Anyone knows where the file is located (is this BLABLABLABLABLA.bin that i've found in /data/user/0/com.capybaragames.sworcery/cache?)
2) is possible to read this file and save it into the same location of another device...WITHOUT ROOT?
I think that there are different locations for every game...
Although, I think that it's possible but you will have to set save location for every game...

Nobody can help me? I just want to know if there's a way to overwrite an internal data folder file without root permissions

You do realize that developing apps isn't just something you can do in a few hours right? And those apps that get hundreds of thousands of downloads have entire companies behind them?

If I had an idea for an app that would get 100,000 downloads, why would I share it?
I know how to make apps, i have made quite a few for personal use. Because maybe they have a brilliant idea and they don't know how/can't code, we can team up.
I've always wanted to make a better First Responder app.
How about an app that steams movies from the pc while on the go..one that a lot cheaper than vlc direct and one that easier to set up

Thanks guys I have enough for now

I know you say you have enough, but here is a request I hope would be easy... An app that would allow a long press on the volume buttons to change tracks from the current music app in use. Example, I use power amp, the HTC music app, and doggcatcher for podcasts. But most roms I can only use long press for the HTC music app. If possible, I would be grateful.

That isn't possible as an app, and even if it is, it would hog up a lot of battery running in the background, you would need a new rom or tweak to accomplish that

I would like for an app to top me off in the morning and make me a cup of coffee.
I would like to see an app like Boot manager, since is no longer supported and I personally have trouble making dual boot on my phone with that app (bot loops). I heard it has something to do with jb.
Model: Evo 3d GSM,

PRL's can't be flashed in recovery, you need a program like qpst to do that, and as I said before my 3vo is gone, so no device specific stuff

I did not expect device specific or flashing PRL's in recovery I simply want QPST running and connecting to the device through root.

I mean how come iOS does this and Android doesnt?
Titanium backup already does that and so does appbak and any other app backing up tool

No I meant without the need of root access. Titanium Backup without the root access is what I'm talking about. Not every user understands rooting. I'm talking about a simple app with a click of a button just like iCloud.
But I'm guessing save datas are stored in a rooting access required location am I right? If thats the case, then only Google can come up with something.
if you are still accepting ideas..
have you seen the google glass' video that says how it feels like to wear google glass?
try making something based on that model, like the camera viewfinder is our eye and we say to give commands. Let's say we speak "what's the weather" and it shows the weather in viewfinder just like it is shown in video. other features can also be implemented.

How to Remove Car Home From G2

Hello,
How can I remove the Car Home app from my G2 phone?
Problem: It pops up every 10 seconds for some reason.This started last night and fustrating.
My phone is NOT root (phone is under warranty
Steps I tried to fix it.
1. Click Disable on the app. Does not work
2. Go to the app in Manage Apps and click clear cache and force stop. Does not work
3. Installed Doc No-Op app. This works, but it Car Home app still trys to open and Doc No-Op stops it, but this cause my screen to return to home page and bothers me i I am trying to text, email, browse internet, ect.
4. Installed NoDock trial, but want work because phone not root
5. Installed Titaumn Back, but want work because phone not root
6. Cleaned the charger port. Does not work.
7. Installed z4root, but does not work for G2 phones
8. Called Tmobil for replacement G2 but, the no longer carry G2. I like G2.
Do I need a new phone. I am fustrated.
I read that VISIONary can temporary root phone but can not find the app. Then I read that VISIONay is no good to root with.
All help is well appreciated.
Thing car home app is installed in the system/app directory.. To do any changes to any file inside system folder needs root permission.. Even to freeze or disable it using 3rd party apps you need root..

How do I root the HTC G2 phone?
Thank you,
By G2 I believe you're talking bout htc hero, if yes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253.. You'll find everything you need there, if you have any questions post in the devices specific Q/A.. If you meant some other phone by G2 simply try to find your devices specific forum and ask for guide from there
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I assume by HTC g2 its the HTC vision, that's the T-Mobile g2 or desire z?
If this is the model phone you have there is only one way you should root it, this is with the gfree method.
To confirm what your steps should be boot to bootloader (power on with volume) and write down everything line for line here

Help! Ultimate Rooting Failure.

Well, after not even having my phone rooted for a day, it seems like i have already probably bricked it. I hard reset my phone which normally wouldnt cause a problem if i didnt 1) delete the home launcher and 2) delete the keyboard app. So i can neither get on apps or type. Only thing i can access is the settings panel. My phone is a Kyocera Event running 4.0.4 if that helps. Is there any way to recover from my noob mistake or have i bricked my first phone? lol
Well i figured out if i can just install a home launcher on it then ill be ok but i cant figure out how to install an app on there without being able to access the google play store. Can anyon tell me how to install an app on my phone via pc? Thats probably the only way. If anyone can help id be very thankful thanks a ton:banghead:

is there any file manager installed in your phone
Nope its stock 4.0.4 os :/ it didnt have one

Open the play store from your computer web browser, sign in with the same mail you use in your phone and get a launcher. It will download and install automatically in your phone.
Will it still install to that phone even though my email isnt on the phone anymore? It was deleted when i reset the phone
Sent from my SGH-T499 using XDA Free mobile app
Ops, my bad, i forget you did a reset. Well, you can open settings, right? Add your Google account again, then download the launcher from play store.
I wish i could but i deleted the stock keyboard apps too :banghead: if i could find a way to access my sd card, install an app on my phone via pc or get to the google play store then i could fix this. Next time i definitly wont be touching any non bloatware apps lol

[q] help! I've been taken hostage!

Okay, so I was visiting some illicit sites looking for hacking tools and what not to put on my Android phone to use to learn about network security. Unfortunately I ended up getting hijacked by a randsomware virus. To be specific, the PornDroid virus. I have been able to get my phone into safe mode, however I am not able to remove admin from the offending app in order to uninstall it! It has done something making it impossible to remove admin from it! When I attempt to deactivate the admin privileges I get an error message "operation is forbidden! System application can't be deleted." from the package installer.
What do I do at this point short of factory restore? I spent many hours fine tuning all of my settings and would really rather not have to do that again, lol.
Is your phone rooted. If yes then you can download system app remover from playstore as this app can remove system apps and remove your virus app too.But it need root access.
Hope it helps:thumbup:

Unfortunately, no, this particular software has been a PITA to get to root. None of the one-clicks work, and it has a non standard firmware that does not allow booting into download mode. If I could figure out what files the stupid thing needs to run, might there be some key file I could delete to disable it at least? I do have a file manager I can access in safe mode if so.
Tell me the name of that virus apk bro.

I can't. I looked for it folder by folder and there are no foreign apks. My assumption is that at the end of the install it may have deleted itself? This seems to be a very sophisticated version of this virus. There are tuts out there on how to get rid of it, but this variety seems to have really locked itself down.
The only thing that will get rid of it is formatting all the partitions and refreshing stock firmware. If it is as deep as you say then even a factory restore won't get rid of it.
Is that app still installed and appear on your device.if yes then tell me its name which it display

Try reading before posting.
I have one suggestion for you if you can root your device then root as after rooting you can only remove system apps or viruses and if you cant even tell name of that virus app then sorry I cant help you.

Once again try reading before posting. The OP already stated that he doesnt know and cant find the apk name. So there is no deleting the apk. It has most likley hidden itself into one of the system files.
Only option will be to format and reflash
Then sorry I cant help.

Well, I did a reset. Thanks for the suggestions.
