Problem running a .lnk (CeRunAppAtTime)

Hi im triying to run a shortcut with this c# code:
Code:
string appPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
string appLnkName = txtNumero.Text.Substring(0, 4) + fecha[0] + fecha[1] + hora[0] + hora[1] + ".lnk"; // 6790203245.lnk (for example)
SHCreateShortcut(appPath + "\\" + appLnkName, "\"" + appPath + "\\cPerdidasNotif.exe\" " + op.CC + " " + txtNumero.Text);
CeRunAppAtTime(appPath + "\\" + appLnkName, ref timeToLaunch);
The ShCreateShotcut, create the shortcuts nice!!! and the shortcut is running if i click on it manually but when CeRunAppAtTime tries to run it it shows an error message "Unable to execute \Almacenamiento intero\5465456.lnk". If i change the lnk for the exe it runs well.
Any help with this?
Anyone?

Is this of any use for a new GPS driver?

[Q] show multiple lines of text?

Hello, in android,
How do you use a TextView to show multiple lines of text in android?
I tried doing android:singleLine = "false" but that's not working
Here is my code
for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
tv.setText("instant " + i + ": ");
}
so it should say
instant 1:
instant 2:
instant 3:
instant 4:
instant 5:
instant 6:
instant 7:
instant 8:
instant 9:
instant 10:
BUT, the emulator only showing
instant 10:
How can I achieve this? Thanks!
You are setting the text value each time you go through the loop so it will only show you the result of the final iteration. You should hold a temporary string variable instead and add to it in the loop. Then set it to the textview value after the loop is finished.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
String s = "";
for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
s.concat("\ninstant " + i + ": ");
}
tv.setText(s);
Hi, I am trying this but nothing is shown on screen
Code:
String s="";
for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
tv.setText(s + "instant " + i + ": \n");
s=(String) tv.getText();
}
or
Code:
for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
tv.setText(tv.getText() + "instant " + i + ": \n");
}

Online Nandroid Backup - works very well

Online Nandroid Backup as seen on today's XDA front page.
This looks great! No more turning device off to make nandroid backups.
Has anyone tested it with the Atrix? And if so, on which ROM? Any issues?
"Why don't you try it yourself and tell for the rest of us?'
I guess it's better to ask before I screw up something on mine
Edit:
Since version 5.9 it works well with the Atrix, backing up /boot, /recovery, /system, /data, /cache and .android_secure. Tested and confirmed.
Personally, I don't think I'd trust such a backup. I very much believe no software, on phone or computer or anywhere else, should ever be backed up while it's live/running. Especially if it's the OS itself. I just wouldn't trust it.
For starters, it's making a backup of /data while many background services are running, live services that could at any point change any part of that same /data...
Installs fine. Can't get root permissions with it when it tries to perform a backup.

That is not a problem. It is how fruit cakes are made.
The service does sound interesting.

Re-install the latest version of busybox. It should work then.
Tested it, its working...

Hm, could you explain please?
Are you saying fruitcakes don't update /data randomly? Or don't have background processes?
I'm confused.

Getting off topic, but fruit cakes are made from an app called rom factory. The app creates a copy of your boot and system images while the phone is running. I don't know how it works (you'd have to ask samcripp). But I would guess that it works like titanium backup in that it will pause any process it needs to copy.
So back to your point, yes, the system can be reliably copied while running.

Fruitcakes don't back up /data. Only /system and /boot are backed up.

That fixed it. So I created a backup with this, then wiped and tried to restore. Had error on boot image. Had to restore from nandroid created in recovery earlier, so I guess it creates a backup, but the backup is balked in some way.

I lost the original log from the failed restore after I restored from my nandroid I had created in recovery prior to that, so I repeated the process and did in fact have the same failure, so it is repeatable. Log from this attempt is attached.
Exactly what I said. The point was that you can copy files on a running os. Just like with the online nandroid.

Edit: @nerfman
I think you're missing the point here. Things like /system and /boot are perfectly fine to access and copy on a live system, they are mounted read-only anyway. /data on the other hand is mounted read-write and gets accessed and changed all the time. I just simply don't think it's at all safe to try making a backup of any file while it's (potentially) being changed. That sounds like a good way to get a corrupted copy of the file. Not a good way to get a reliable backup.
Your original statement (emphasis added by me):
"Personally, I don't think I'd trust such a backup. I very much believe no software, on phone or computer or anywhere else, should ever be backed up while it's live/running. Especially if it's the OS itself. I just wouldn't trust it.

Last time I checked, system and boot are integral parts of the os. Clearly this is possible as evidenced by fruit cakes. I never commented on data. But having said that, any process or service need only be paused to be copied. I don't see why you can't get your head wrapped around this concept.

Thank you for the details. I am guessing you are using an Atrix 4G.
There is an issue where I am unable to programmatically find the boot partition on some devices which does not have /proc/mtd and /proc/emmc
I have opened an issue for this. I am working on it. I shall post here when it is fixed.
For the time being, you can just restore backup done with Online Nandroid and then restore only the boot partition from a previous nandroid done with CWM.
ROM Factory Magic
Random Facts​Developing ROM Factory took, 4 months, cost 743$, hard bricked one device and the finish product uses android, java zip, and the under laying linux. Its in continues research. With ever changing phones, ever changing ROM Factory. Because of the way the app is design only Phones with BML partition system can use it. Mostly high end devices.​ROM Factory does not create a nandroid back up.​​Understanding how ROM Factory works.​The Device Library​In the library I began to create a list of devices. This list contains a device name, and some specifics about the device. Such as /system partition location, and storage options.
The main function for it is to identify the device and provide the info. Looks something like this:
Code:
if(Phone.contentEquals("olympus")) //moto atrix
{
if(OS.contentEquals("2.3.4"))
{
zStorage = "/sdcard-ext";
} else if(OS.contentEquals("2.3.5")) {
zStorage = "/sdcard-ext";
} else if(OS.contentEquals("2.3.6")) {
zStorage = "/sdcard-ext";
} else {
zStorage = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
}
RName = "Atrix 4G";
appRun = true;
DataPart = "/dev/block/mmcblk0p07";
BootPart = "/dev/block/mmcblk0p11";
SysPart = "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12";
}
The SU Class​In the class I build a custom set of methods to handle the super user commands require to create the back ups.
Looks something like this:
Code:
public void cmdSU(String suCmd){
DataOutputStream suShell = new DataOutputStream(user.getOutputStream());
try{
suShell.writeBytes(suCmd + "\n");
suShell.writeBytes("wait\n");
suShell.writeBytes("exit\n");
suShell.flush();
try { user.waitFor();
if (user.exitValue() != 255) { } else { }
} catch (InterruptedException e) { Log.e("SU", e.getMessage()); }
} catch (IOException e) { Log.e("SU", e.getMessage()); }
}
The Script Engine​I still very much consider this a work in progress.​In the class I build a custom set of methods to handle the creation of the edify script required by Recovery to install a ROM. To save time and resources instead of creating a new file, the app simply echos a new one through the SU class. The script engine also detects some of the phone settigns and prepares the script

}
And finally Linux!​Pay attention, here is where the magic happens. The apps sends a simple "dd" command to linux to create a "live image" of your emmc contents.
Looks something like this:
Code:
// creates system
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
upBar(35);
log.V("Creating the system image");
log.V("Command: " + "dd if=" + device.System() + " of=" + device.Storage() + "/romf/workdir/system.img");
UBER.requestSU();
UBER.cmdSU("dd if=" + device.System() + " of=" + device.Storage() + "/romf/workdir/system.img");
endCreateSystem.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
})
.start();
Making it all work together​Step 1: App loads and detects device. (First install downloads a payload zip with the update.bin)
Step 2: User begins the rom creation triggering...
Step 3: Generates the script and echo it through linux, with the device info. (su class use)
Step 4: Then the back ups are created using dd through linux. (su class use)
Step 5: Some good old java zip takes care of packaging, the update.bin, the system.img, and boot.img.
Ta da, creating a rom through android.​Why don't they files corrupt using this method​The data does not corrupt using my method because instead of copying directly changing files, im copying the latest "modified" version. also because of the image is ext3 or ext4 the files can be fixed during the dd if the change.​ROM Factory 2 is going to use a new approach, instead of a list of devices, that class will be redesign to work with vold.fstab, and other methods of detecting the phones absolute partition location.​

Thank you for the details. I am guessing you are using an Atrix 4G.
There is an issue where I am unable to programmatically find the boot partition on some devices which does not have /proc/mtd and /proc/emmc
I have opened an issue for this. I am working on it. I shall post here when it is fixed.
For the time being, you can just restore backup done with Online Nandroid and then restore only the boot partition from a previous nandroid done with CWM.

I will continue to use CWM backup/restore until you have this resolved. The error occurs as soon as the restore starts as the boot partition is the first thing which is restored, so there is no opportunity for /system or /data to be restored. Hope you get this working for us because I like the idea of not rebooting to recovery to backup.
Cheers!

Back off, people, he can't accept so many volunteers.
I guess the worst thing that could happen is soft bricking. Right?
Right???
If so.. give short instructions on testing - what feedback you'd expect, log filest, etc. I might try it myself. Thanks!
