[APP] ## Code Dialer

[UPDATE]
There was some confusion caused with my posting. This app will not allow you to dial EPST codes from an AOSP ROM. As of right now that functionality doesn't work. I think its a good goal to work towards that, but much work is needed before that happens.
This app had 2 goals in mind during its inception. 1) allow 2.2 users to dial EPST codes. If you remember back to early releases of 2.2 the EPST system was botched. 2) to eventually allow any Sprint phone to dial EPST codes. This was a lofty goal but possibly feasible.
As of right now this app needs some work from serious devs because natively it doesn't do much.
Hope this helps.
[OG]
This is an app my brother and I worked on, but didn't get far with. Things came up stuff happens right? Specifically, HTC fixed their dialer code issue in 2.2 so this app was put on hold.
That said, I think there are two positives with this app. 1) it just makes dialing the codes easier, and we can update it to have a fancy screen where you pick the code and it dials.
2) We can use it to figure out how to get cross-ROM functionality. This is a maybe, but this app gives us the best shot.
More to come, for now you can download the app files here. Just follow the MIT license and all is well.
These files will need to be compiled, it is not an APK. Sorry for the confusion I caused. I can work on turning this into an APK if people want, but it wont do much good. The app is very much in its infancy.

Will most likely work from the browser on the phone as well

not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but your app looks promising and seems related. does anyone know if the ## dialer codes are related to the modem AT commands? there seems to be some correlation between the two and i'm not sure if it's just coincidence or if the ## codes relate directly to the AT commands.
the reason i ask is that i was searching for info on the ##gpsclrx# fix and i found a pdf that lists some AT commands supported by qualcomm cdma chips, including $GPSCLRX. there's quite a few other ones that match up too. i haven't figured out how to send AT commands to my phone, but was hoping that it could be done through the dialer or a program like yours, and hopefully some of these commands could help troubleshoot some GPS issues that CM7 nightlies have.

Link is formatted wrong. Just remove the http:// in front of the https

The link works perfectly fine for me, but I will double check the html.
The file is just a zip, extract it to get the APK and install like any other app from there. I'll post more directions in a minute.
A lot of improvements can be made to this app, so I'm hoping people step up.

No idea. I have another thread on ## Dialer codes and you could ask there, but I'm not sure if anyone has looked into this.
The point of this thread and the app I have listed here is to hopefully help AOSP based ROM users to be able to use the dialer codes.

I've taken that zip completely apart and don't see an apk anywhere inside. Tried to compile it and couldn't get it to work.

I extracted it, recompressed it, signed it and renamed it to an .apk. No dice, parsing error

Same here. Just learned how to do that so thought I screwed something up.

My bad, this needs to be compiled as an apk. Give me time and I will try to get that going.

Thanks, looking forward to it.

is this dead? or to good to be true?

I highly doubt this but I wonder if this app would work with CM7 roms?? If so, this would save a lot of time flashing inbetween sense and CM7 in order to get the GPS working and just accessing EPST in general!

We'll know as soon as webs05 puts up the flashable zip or apk. Based on the description, this is basically designed to provide AOSP with EPST-like menu access, so if it does indeed work, then it should work on CM.

Problem with adobe flash streaming.

Hi, there is some problem with flash or something when I try to watch RT news live the sound is like a slow motion and other sites too can anyone try to go to http://rt.com/on-air/ and see if they have the same thing? There are other Alps too when it streams it sound like slow motion too, please can anyone try and see?

I had the same issue on mine, I returned it due to another issue though, so I can't test the site you posted.

Yes I have the same issue and actually have a ticket opened with adobe on this. I haven't heard anything on it in a couple weeks though. I will add a link to this post to it though. I opened a topic on this on another forum, but didn't get any response from others. Some sites work ok, but most don't.

Here is the fix. It's do to a stagefright problem.... Just reinstall stagefright following the instructions in that post and you are done... If you flash a rom, you will need to redo this....
Let me know if you guys have a problem.

Here is the response I got from an Adobe rep in reference to a ticket I opened with them on the Infuse flash issues.
Just wanted to follow up on this. We took a look at it, and it's a bug with Samsung's hardware decoder on a couple of their devices.
We reported the issue to Samsung. At some point, they'll send out an FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) update that will fix the issue. I have no info on time-frame though.

I've been having audio/video sync issues since I got this phone (the audio lags almost 1 second after video). I eventually ended up calling Samsung, and they basically told me the same thing, that this is a known issue with some of their Samsung phones and that their software developers are working on a fix. I will extremely thrilled when they come out with a firmware update!

I tried this, but it didn't fix my slow voices. It is very possible I did something wrong though as I am very new to Android. I downloaded file and unzipped it on my phone. I then copied the 4 or 5 files that unzipped and tried to copy them into the system/lib folder. It asked if I wanted to replace current and I said yes. It then said unable to copy on each one. Not sure where I messed up.

Its because the directory is mounted as read only. You need to be able to mount it as read and write. and then replace the files.... Thats it.

Forgot to do that. I just went in and changed this and re did the process. It was able to copy them this time with no problem. I am rebooting now and will test and post results.

WOW seems to work at least on my first test. I have tried watching this one video probably 15 times in the last couple weeks and this is the first time it was successful. THANKS!!!!!!

All flash will work perfectly. Trust me I did a lot of research on this problem. Its aandroid problem not samsung

Update capturing?

Hey everyone., My question is when we get the update, can it be downloaded over wifi? If so, does anyone have any packet capturing advice got getting the source and potentially the whole update package to have on hand?
I am familiar with network tools like wireshark and cain. Thanks for the input!

I don't remember how exactly, but when you get the notification, if you don't accept it it stores the url somewhere and you can get it with a logcat or something like that. Don't even need wifi.

Oh okay, awesome. Thanks! Will do.

Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?

Just download and install. No root needed either. Seems much better. Also looks better on my Tab than the older version.

How do I install this? Should I manually push the apk with root explorer for it to work? I tried regular install but it doesn't install.
Update: I manually pushed it with root explorer and it worked. Thx for the tip.

I would push/replace, clear dalvik and reboot.

I just installed like any other apk... No problem
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I simply downloaded it... clicked on the completed download... then had the option to install... went straight to the market and checked the version, no issues at all.

Renamed and pushed no problem. Def faster.

I hope this fixes the "insufficient space" bug on our phones.

Noticeably faster for me.

when it comes to the market, it only updates when it's open. it's the only app that does it that way. all other apps will show in the notifications. if I'm wrong, please let me know, but I don't think that's the case.

How do you know that this is the ONLY app?
But anyway, my point is if Google can do it on Android platform it does not matter with one app or many.
PS: off-topic, Google Map subscribes to bunch of intents, so it would be launched when you turn-on screen, WiFi etc... I would like start application when I press app icon... There are no other way to opt-out other then disable Map in pm.

Google maps can be stopped by using the app autostarts. All those apps that start by themselves when you do something, ie reboot phone connect to wifi ect... no longer plague me. True, I just delete most of them, but there are some I actually use (like maps and Gmail).
Unfortunately I can no longer find the exact app I use in the market, though I'm sure there are others that do the same thing. If anyone would like the apk for the one I use just let me know and I can post it next time I'm on my laptop.

Autostarts is a paid app in the market.
If you found the developer posted it for free on XDA, please link to that... otherwise this breaks XDA rules.

Virus? Not enough information to tell you. Sounds fishy to me. Check which app is consuming the data.

Yeah I looked at the app thing and I tried a virus scan and there is none. The notification hasn't showed up for a few hours now. And a search of the phone yesterday brought up the file and I deleted it hoping the message wouldn't show up again but it was there this morning. Google was no help. Now I am using a system monitor to see if it is an app causing this phenomenon.

When did it start? Where did you get the device from? Is it a knock-off China phone?

It started 1.5 daze ago. Yeah I imagine the phone is from China like everything else is, but it was bought through koodo. Maybe they did this? Maybe a conspiracy in the works? Or it's this rom I got on here, CM7 I just thought it was an odd thing to notify me about over and over. We'll see what happens. Thank you from China:beer:

Oh, if you flashed your own ROM, then I wouldn't worry about factory-installed spyware.
Keep an eye on it. If it doesn't come back, you're probably ok. Pirated apps (if present) could also be a source of problems, though.
