USBMode application

[f0x0r]

That explains it. I haven't tried my phone out on my Slackware 10.1 box. I guess that will be my next project.

Thanks for sharing the source. It's guys like you who make this community great!

Interesting...

Which model and firmware do you have?

Does it show a box with a progress bar claiming to install the app? After the seemingly failed installation can you see a new folder /diska/.system/QtDownLoad/usbmode ?

Hi samr7

I have f/w AP74/BP41

...and when I run usbmode.mpkg it doesn`t show anything... the screen blink (like refresh), thats all... no progress bar appears

/diska/.system/QtDownLoad/usbmode does not exist
...I know (and you wrote about it) MPKG files doesn`t need any special progs to install it, so if you have some advice - please, post it.... :

thanks anyway...

That's a good sign. Others have reported success with AP74, so on the surface it sounds like some sort of configuration problem.

I just walked through the process myself. The first thing that should happen is you should get a dialog box describing the application, and asking where you want to install it. If this doesn't show up at all, more research will be required.

There might be a flex bit or something that controls the Qt app installer in the mystuff program. Your firmware probably isn't original, since you have BP41, no? Which 0D.74 firmware do you have, German/North American? Have you flashed the OPTIMIZED_SETUP?

Thanks..

[samr7]

News: The Qt app installer code appears to live in libezxam, and is controlled by flex bit 0xA2. If this is turned off in your setup, it should silently fail without even showing the dialog box.

If it's not too much trouble and doesn't cause you too many worries, try flashing the OPTIMIZED_SETUP.

I have the exact same problem. Nothing shows up when tapping the file. I have a Dutch A780 and _no_ idea which firmware...I'll try to find out what firmware I have and the solution you suggested when I find the time and guts to try it.

yes, I understand what you talking about - same dialogbox we`ve got when java apps installing... but I haven`t got it

What about f/w...
I haven`t flashed OPTIMIZED_SETUP, you think it may does matter?
btw, I didnt install it because it have bug (when you trying to edit contact you can`t edit first name - it shows "Country" instead name...
Did you notice it?
I have american 74 and thought that german may fix that problem...

thank you

evaldas: Strip the binary huh?

i hope you understand what i'm talking about

thanks for source. i've never tried to build gui app for a780, because didn't believe that it's possible to link to motorola customized qt. it will become my reference

@evaldas
It IS possible to link with the motorola ezx libs. I wrote some sample progs that try to use ezx native APIs. It can be quite useful to use the ezx calls rather than talking to /dev files and /tmp sockets directly.

The problem is that we don't really know how to use most of the ezx calls. I figured out some of it using gdb, but without ltrace it takes too long (and I couldn't get ltrace to work).
