CM10 based Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for HTC Desire

Everything works great except SD card mounting problem

After installing the ROM, SD card is not mounting, even i have trying multiple things like reinstalling, partitian, etc.

But nothing worked out.

Even i have tried fixing fastboot command also. But did not worked.

Later i decided to install JellyTime from google code repo

http://code.google.com/p/jellytime/

Seems like this room specific to HTC desire HD.

Because when i flash this, it says "assertion error".

And i can see some code they are checking for device model as "ace".

So this one failed to install in my HTC Desire.

I have tried this MIUI ROM with Jelly bean

Not working with HTC desire, not able to install 

Trying for another ROM soon probably MIUI ICS room

Can't mount SD Card in HTC Desire , Android - USB Brick

I been trying multiple ROMs available for my HTC Desire.

But yesterday suddenly when i  boot by phone in recovery mode to install new ROM, it is not able to mount the sdcard.

It keep on says "Can't mount /sdcard".

I have tried by clearing "dalvik cash".

But did not worked out. When i connect to my PC , my phone is not detected at all.

After some hours of google i figured out that my phone is in "USB Brick" state.

I have tried multiple things to fix this. At last i got it fixed by simple 4 steps.

Step1:

 Bring your phone in HBoot (Hard Boot) mode, by pressing power button and volume down key.

Step2:

  If your device not detected by windows use this step, otherwise skip it

  Download latest android USB driver

  http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/android-usb-driver.zip

  1) Goto Device manager

   2) Search for your android in "other devices" category

  3) Right click on that, and select "Update Driver"

  4) Point to the folder which you downloaded from the above link

  5) And update it, now you will see your phone in the device manager list

Step3:

  Download Android SDK tools for windows or Mac.

  Goto its "Tools" folder from the command prompt  

Step4:

    Now , in your phone from HBOOT mode, switch to "Fastboot" mode, by selecting the menu from the HBOOT list.

  Once you are in the "Fast boot" mode, now execute the command from windows command prompt "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" 

  And restart your phone.

Device Details:

HTC Desire, rooted, S-Off, 4 gig SD card

MapMyIndia -- Mobile Navigation System - For Android OS

Hi,

  I been using this MapMyIndia(http://www.mapmyindia.com/gps/products/mobile/mobilemaps/overview.html) Mobile navigation system from past 2 weeks. It really works. 

  Yes, I used to have Google map for most of the time , but it never showed me proper direction(Only in US google navigation works perfectly).

   Google map does not detect my location as accurate as MapMyIndia. So i am very much happy with this MapMyIndia navigation.

   Good:

     1. It really works

     2. It gives me turn by turn navigation information

     3. 2D and 3D maps are good

     4. Quickly gives me the alternative route if i missed.

   Bad :

      1. Frequently crashing 

      2. User Interface is not that good, some time confusing with options

      3. Takes too long to detect my location.

      4. If the phone is in inside the car or house, it is not getting the signal properly.

   Ugly:

     1. Some time voice over says some direction, and route show something different direction.

     2. Not able to enter actual postal address properly, poor user interface.

     3. While using the navigation, i am not able to zoom the map properly, it is crashing everything i try to zoom.

   

But over all  i liked it, because this is the only time saver for me to go around the city.

Background Information:

Mobile : HTC Desire

Platform: Android 2.3

City : Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Ho To Enable Background Color , CSS Sprite Image in Print Out - IE and Firefox

Recently, i just came across an issue with my IE and Firefox browser.

Which ever page i tried to print from these browsers, the CSS (colors, Images, styles, etc) are not coming in the print out.

So i was wondering what could be the issue. 

I know we have to specify media="all" for style sheet, but even after specifying it in the link tag, it is not printing it properly.

Later i realized (after an hour) that there is a settings in both the browsers to enable the background Color and Image in printing.

This is very Simple, i am totally not aware of this. So i just want to share with you so that it will be useful for some of you(I wish i can save your time)

For Firefox 3.6 : 

    File -- Page Setup -- Format & Options - Print Background(colors & Images)

For IE 6:

  Tools -- Internet Options -- Advanced --"Settings List" -- "Printing" section -- Print Background Colors and Images

My First Private Sky Trip

Its been a long time dream for me to do this..Atlast i made it... thanks to one of my fiend caption Prabhu Mohan(Pilot) who made the day ...

We took this flight from Monarch, Addition, Dallas,TX. Really good one. We had a nice trip.

Too many communication during our fly... It is very hard to understand their communication language(you have to study min 8 months).

Autopilot mode did not worked properly in this flight, but over all it is a good flight.

We had a smooth takeoff and landing. We went up to Jones Field, Bonham airport from Addition.

The $300 Million Button

Recently i came to know about this article.... very interesting... 

How Changing a Button Increased a Site's Annual Revenues by $300 Million

It's hard to imagine a form that could be simpler: two fields, two buttons, and one link. Yet, it turns out this form was preventing customers from purchasing products from a major e-commerce site, to the tune of $300,000,000 a year. What was even worse: the designers of the site had no clue there was even a problem.

...

The $300,000,000 Fix

The designers fixed the problem simply. They took away the Register button. In its place, they put a Continue button with a simple message: "You do not need to create an account to make purchases on our site. Simply click Continue to proceed to checkout. To make your future purchases even faster, you can create an account during checkout."

Water Vs Gatorade

Nice to know ......

Before you go to sleep, always drink a glass of water or two in order to make you fall asleep faster and wake up in a more refreshed mood. On the other hand, drinking soda contains caffeine which makes you stay awake. Drink water before you go to bed, it's better for you and you'll have a better night's sleep.

You may have known of people that say Gatorade is a lot healthier than water. While in some ways they may be correct, they do not realize how much sugar Gatorade contains. Gatorade is made to make your body become energy-charged, and help you with physical work outs and sports training. Gatorade is not made to be consumed all the time and could actually make you gain weight over time. Drinking water does not contain sugar.

Python in Android - Android Scripting Environment(ASE)

Today i came know that there is a Python Android Scripting environment  that does amazing thing in few line.

Actually python is the only language which is having single line of code for hello world :).

Even in android Python does the magical programing in few lines.

An example via Matt Cutts -- "here's a barcode scanner written in six lines of Python code:

  import android
  droid = android.Android()
  code = droid.scanBarcode()
  isbn = int(code['result']['SCAN_RESULT'])
  url = "http://books.google.com?q=%d" % isbn
  droid.startActivity('android.intent.action.VIEW', url)

How easy it is...!!!. It is tempting me to go and buy a Android phone asap...and try my python programing skill in Android industry.
