    Root nandroid restore and different basebands

    I've got a nandroid backup made of my Dell Streak and I'm thinking about upgrading to Froyo, but in case things don't work how I want I wanna be able to restore to 1.6. Froyo uses a different baseband though, so if I do a nandroid restore, will my baseband revert back to the previous one? Do I...

    miBudget is a simple checkbook ledger for Android

    I use my debit card for almost everything, and I really hate writing on paper, so I've always depended on my bank's website to help me keep track of my moneys. But sometimes charges can take WEEKS to go through and it has bit me in the ass more times than I care to think about. miBudget is...

    DataOff lets you control when wifi/3g turn on and off

    I've always thought that Android should give you more control over how long Wifi and 3G stay connected after you turn the screen off. Sometimes its nice to keep them on while downloading something, but it bugs me when Spare Parts tells me that my Wifi is on for hours longer than my screen is...

    Can't find xscope on android 1.5

    This has been driving me crazy for a while now. I can't find xscope web browser on my backflip running 1.5 anymore. I've looked on google and I can't find any mention of support being dropped for 1.5 or it being pulled for any reason, so what the hell? Can anyone with 1.5 confirm/deny if you...

    Help Trying to make phone sleep when screen is off

    I've been getting pretty heavy batter drain lately, and I'm pretty sure its because my phone isn't sleeping nearly as much as it should. Accoring to spare parts, I've had the screen on about 3.5 hours, but it has been awake over 8 hours. I've been very aggresively killing anything and...

    Apps receiving Intents from running Service

    I'm having trouble figuring out how to catch Intents from my Service. I knew it was probably wrong, but I tried using onBind() to handle the Intents since it's the only Service method that receives Intents. It's not very long so I'm gonna post what I've got, can anyone see what I'm missing...

    Apps toggle wifi on/off when screen turns on/off

    I'm writing a simple app that will turn wifi on or off when the screen turns on or off, respectively. I tried registering <receiver> tags for SCREEN_ON and SCREEN_OFF Intents, then defining two BroadcastReceiver classes to catch the Intents, but nothing is happening. I think it's because the...

    Wifi insomnia

    My backflip is really getting lousy battery life lately, and it seems to be because wifi is running a lot while I have the screen turned off. I've been very aggresively using a task killer to kill everything when I'm not using it, so I'm pretty sure I don't have a program keeping it awake...

    looking for a g1 rom for at&t

    I bought an already unlocked and rooted g1 from ebay running 2.1, and it isn't recognizing my AT&T sim card (it did for a few minutes I'm pretty sure it's actually unlocked). I really don't want to return it and the seller swears that it worked with his tmobile card, so I'm thinking that the...

    phpbb/vbulletin forum client?

    I know that tapatalk and BBfoc exist, but they require software to be installed on your forum and don't support vbulletin, respectively. Anyone find an out-of-market app that can render phpbb and vbulletin? This is one of the only things that's preventing me from completely switching over from...

    Apps Memory Management

    I couldn't really find a good subforum for this so it might be a little out of place, but I've been wondering how android os manages minimized programs. Do they stay open until you force close them, or does it close them automatically after a certain amount of time. Can we add/alter this...

    Since I held my first android phone, I have wanted to have a pull-up drawer folder for each screen on my desktop. At first I was thinking that I would try to replace the main menu pull-up, but now I think that adding it to the left of the main pull-up would be better (where contacts is on my...
