[TUT] How to name and mark a thread. !!Please make sticky!!

A howto on how to mark threads good.
Because I'm pissed by threads with titles, that say nothing I've done a tutorial on how to name and mark threads right. I use things done in much forums and my own ideas.
Let's start.
First: How to name a thread good.
You have to use a thread that says much, for example “How to change the bootscreen“ and not “bootscreen“ or “question“ or something like that.
Second: How to mark threads.
Let's take the example from before.
The title “How to change the bootscreen“ could be a tutorial, but also a question. Now it is a question.
We use the [ ] tags for that. In them we write QUE for question. In our example this would be “[QUE] How to change the bootscreen”
You can also use more marks at once.
For example: “[ROM][WM6.1][WWE] Charmer Mobile 6.1”
Now a list of useable forms in the [ ]:
TUT = tutorial
ROM = ROM
WM5 = WindowsMobile5 ROM
WM6 = WindowsMobile6 ROM
WM6.1 = WindowsMobile6.1 ROM
QUE = Question
APP = Application
IDE = Idea
REQ = Request
REF = Reference
THE = Theme
MOD = Moderation
DIS = Discontinued
Lang codes:
WWE = World Wide Edition
ENG = English
GER = German
And so on.
When I've forgotten some please post and I'll add to main thread.
Please make this sticky Vlodeck. Thank you.

I too, second the notion of making this thread a sticky.

[CODE] Detect the NK.EXE version (6.1 or 6.5)

Code:
public static bool IsKernelNative(string NKS000File)
{
int[] pattern = new int[] { 0x0C, 0x00, 0x94, 0xE5, 0x1F, 0x03, 0x50, 0xE3 };
int lookingfor = 0;
using (FileStream input = new FileStream(NKS000File, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; i++)
if (input.ReadByte() == pattern[lookingfor++])
{
if (lookingfor == (pattern.Length - 1))
break;
}
else lookingfor = 0;
}
return (lookingfor == (pattern.Length - 1));
}
Barin will probably be happy to have this (and probably be even happier to replace the code with a File.ReadAllBytes and a LINQ array search if he didn't chose to use NET 2.0 like I did).

very interesting. what does this array (0x0C, 0x00, 0x94, 0xE5, 0x1F, 0x03, 0x50, 0xE3) mean? i.e. what code does it contain? it really can be found in new kernels only.

airxtreme, thanks for the info
But why should i be happy? When i build a rom i know exactly which kernel i use
Anyway i'll add the code to show info about kernel in log window.
PS I don't use .ReadAllBytes method to search a pattern. Sometimes i use it when i need to keep something in memory.
Check your decompiler

I don't remember what it exactly does since it's stuff from several months ago but it should be code that is related to the new slots allocation that can be found only on windows mobile 6.5 kernels.

You certainly do but for first-time users it's not so immediate understanding that each device requires its own native kernel, that the kernel is specifically compiled for the windows mobile version it came with and that even though an old kernel may work on newer windows mobile builds the kitchen needs to know the version of the native kernel to do the proper slots allocation and if it's not chosen correctly the ROM could not work. If you auto-detect the kernel and remove the kernel selection option (that in the case of your kitchen being only labeled WM6.1/WM6.5 I think may confuse users into thinking the option has to do with the windows mobile version rather than the native kernel version) you can remove a considerable burden from beginners.

PPTP VPN problem TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2+ v2.7.4 [tytung r7]

Hello,
I have upgraded my HTC HD2 to 2.7.4 CM7 [tytung r7] but now I am having problems with VPN connection which I didn’t have before (2.4.4). It can’t connect already.
Is there any fix about this problem?
Thank you in advance.

anyone whit the same problem ?

Please can someone help me?

I have tried to upgrade to 1VPN but this didn't help me

Same here. Could be Gingerbread related, works just fine with 2.2 builds.

I think this is very important feature because now i can't connect to my office from phone.
Can you send me please a post where the problem with a file ,ppdp is described.
I would try to replace file "/system/bin/pppd" with such from version without this problem.
The other possibility is to search for old version of NAND ROM in which VPN is working and install it, but this will take me a lot of time to downgrade.

I am writing as evidenced in another post

It seems like tunnel and session is established but then it gets aborted while creating socket. A similar issue was reported at the end of 2009 but resolved quickly with an update. It was due to a kernel-option which got disabled (see this link: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod.../detail?id=855). Maybe it can give you an idea. The VPN works correctly for instance with Tytung's _r6 kernel.

Thank you for the information.
When i have 2.4.4 with Tytung's _r6 kernel i noticed that PPTP VPN only works correctly with wi-fi connection and was very slow when using 3G connection (in fact it was unusable).

I just saw that the new version of tytung is released - tytung_r8.
I will test latter this week if the problem still exists in new kernel

I have upgraded to v2.8.0-MAGLDR + tytung_r8.1, but still can not connect with PPTP VPN
Can someone else try this.

I installed TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2+ v2.8.1[2.3.3][A2SD][tytung r8.1] and does not work. It's a kernel Tytung problem.With this,Incredible Sense v1.0 - CAM FIXED! [HTC Vivo][K:Raf1.9OC],it's all ok.In the forum are the only ones who use the vpn and not angry bird ....

am in the same sh**
I'm using this ROM since a while, and each time I update hoping that the VPN issue would be solved but it doesn't
I posted a couple of times asking about VPN issue but never got an answer from "tyween"...which is surprising!! cz I see him answering all the posts in the thread better than any other Developer on XDAm but it seems he hates VPN

I am also badly surprised than nobody answers the questions about VPN (including Google).
Did someone have tried to configure Open VPN and test it ?
I will try this but i first must to get SSL certificate.

Installed TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2+ v2.8.2, replaced kernel with Rafpigna's 1.9 OC GB, but still a no go

i have the same problem,i installed typhoon 2.81,vpn is not work,it's important for me.but nexushd gingerbread 2.3 or 2.4 works well,i don't know how about 2.5.

Now i have this,NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.5 [Android2.3.3][Kernel: tytung_r8.3],and VPN PPTP works fine.

May be the problem is solved in kernel tytung_r8.3.
I should test it with TyphooN ROM.

Nope, VPN wont work. With alocat I see lines like --> I/mtpd Creating PPPoX Socket and then F/mtpd Socket() Protocol not supported ??

My development files and About donation for me

I uploaded my dev files on some threads. but for the convenience, I write this thread for streak developer.
CM7 dev file -> mediafire dbzrp78zrsu4558
CM9 dev file -> mediafire s3dvjw58kpw9by2
CWM dev file -> mediafire q3f9zo3ny5z6i2n
MIUI US ver. -> mediafire 33jrxu2g5slwerq
Below is my opinion about the donation for me.
First of all, thank you so much for your thought of donation for me.
and I say result first that I will not receive donation.
I just develop something for enjoyment. (likely play the game.)
When my codes were working successfully, I couldn't contain my joy.
But if I receive donation, I think that I will have sense of duty because of my personality.
(I will think that I must repay for your donation. and development wil be not my enjoyment any more...)
Then I will develop something quickly for you, but It could bring disappointing only.... T^ T;;
Thank you very much to you again, I don't receive any donation... I think I'm so weird... hehe.... ;;
Finally, I don't think i'm not a man deserving of donations. ;;;;
Because there are a lot of good people than me... I think... ;;;;;;;;
All of my dev files are posted above. and You can develop awesome thing than I developed!

you are not weird, just not mainstream

These kinda developers can build a windows 7 for a 256MB RAM 1.2GHz System. Hats off to you sir! Due to you only I can show off my streak5 to a galaxy note owner with full confidence and comparable performance! Now I started believing that streak5 is the most optimum device to run ANY Android build successfully! though I don't like the iPhone interface and hence MIUI, m on CM7 and more than happy with what I had ever expected for!

I didn't do anything.
I just contact the developers and write some post about ROMs before hPa come here. That's what I did it so I didn't do anything about ROM.
Just tanks to XDA-Developers and hPa. I think's that's right.

Hi HPA,
Actually its not all about donation, its about we want to help ourselves by helping you, so you can buy a new streak and continue its development. you will be free, no one will going to ask you or force you about anything.
so i dont see anything wrong in it....
Cheers!!!

If rom can rotate screen 180 degree by build.prop (ro.sf.hwrotation=180), above patch will work properly. but If not(maybe most roms...), you will need MIUI's added kernel patch.
So for more compatibility, you will need MIUI's patch too.
It seems that Dell Streak's LCD been rotated 180 degree. and touch driver source's default setting is for landscape.
So first, I define TOUCH_FB_PORTRAIT for portait touch. then second, I rotate touch 180 degree. (because touch panel been rotated 180 degree with LCD.)
Finally I rotate screen use ro.sf.hwrotation option in build.prop.
(and because miui doesn't support ro.sf.hwrotation=180, I modified some lcd registers.)
... I'm so sorry about many message sent to you. I think it doesn't sent properly....;;;;;

Thank you for reply!
You've great job breathing new life to Streak.
Though my experience is no match to yours, i'll try.

Hi, Can someone please tell me how to use the CM9 files provided in the post by hPA?

[Q] rpoblems with the on click listner :(

hi guys im trying to set an app to have a send sms function to non changing phone number for " opening a service call" thingy for users that have warranty on some electric product that they have bought but i got some problem i wish one of you can help heres the info :
this is the XML :
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/textsms"
android:layout_marginTop="94dp"
android:hint="fill in the problem and location and cellphone number"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="send service request"
android:id="@+id/buttonSms"
android:layout_marginTop="121dp"
android:layout_below="@+id/textsms"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
androidnClick="smsClick"/>
this is the java:
//smssending
Button buttonSms;
EditText textsms;
buttonSms = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonSms);
textsms = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.textsms);
final String editPhoneNum = "052444444";
buttonSms.setOnClickListener (new OnClickListener()
{
public void smsClick(View v) {
String phoneNo = editPhoneNum;
String sms = textsms.getText().toString();
try {
SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
smsManager.sendTextMessage(phoneNo, null, sms, null, null);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "SMS Sent!",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"SMS faild, please try again later!",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
);

To access variables inside a so-called anonymous inner class like your OnClickListener, they must be declared final. So you must declare textsms like this: final EditText textsms = findViewById(R.id.textsms);

first of all thanks but i did it and i got this now in attachment

never mind guys i just needed to change the method name to onClick thats all
by the way use that code if you wanna make your app send sms to perment number that user cant see like if he order a resturant reservasion or stuff like that

Android Studio can generate onClick() ,why don't you let IDE to do this job?
smsClick() is bad.
