[Fascinate General] sneakysolidbake:
Just thought I'd mention that a distinction between a bootloader, and a locked bootloader should be made. Bootloaders are absolutely necessary to boot android, or any operating system for that matter. Locked bootloaders keep you from running unsigned code at boot. I'm sure you all knew that but I saw quite a few people complaining about the existence of a bootloader.

That being said,

Google needs to take a stand and put the carriers in their place. Open source means open source. It doesn't mean open source except for ...

I know that for my 18th birthday I'm going to get a new phone which ironically is a month or two after the rumored iPhone 5 is supposed to be released.

Apple here I come!!!
[Fascinate General] MADDAN18:
Excellent article! I was wondering when google was going to step in...I really love this line " Google's crackdown on software tweaks upset phone makers who worry that they won't be able to"...what? Lock down the software to make it a proprietary OS? When these phone makers decided to use android, what part of the "open source" didn't they understand?

The part where they are paying for rooters mistakes. Again, between the illegal teathering, faulty insurance claims and continuous customer service calls from inexperienced rooters or regular Joe's who have purchased rooted phones...they save money.
[Fascinate General] CC268:
I love my fascinate, especially after root. The new HTC Thunder bolt is pretty sweet and really fast, but I think my Fascinate is faster with a good kernel
[Fascinate General] robertf57:
First off, The number of rooter mistakes and false insurance claims has got to be TINY. Not even worth talking about since it is included in the ridiculous insurance charges they demand. "Illegal" tethering is another area where I believe the consumer is being scammed. The purchaser is paying for service. The instrument is capable of being tethered. If I exceed my download allotment I should have additional charges;but, if I choose to read my email on a larger screen by tethering my laptop, it shouldn't matter. Just my humble opinion......
[Fascinate General] MADDAN18:
I agree. If it was using additional bandwidth I would completely understand their concern. And me paying $29 dollars a month for unlimited data, why would verizon care that I'm simply using that for my laptop? It brings back to the days when Verizon told phone manufacturers to specifically lock down the satellite function in AGPS chipsets so they could try and shove the cell site navigation, VZnavigator up our azzes (wait....they still are!) Verizon just needs to realize that every idea they think of isn't going to make them the millions more they anticipated...well, not with their current marketing strategy it isn't.

I have found a great guide for building a custom rom from other roms or the stock rom and I will be attempting to build my own rom from the stock rom. Although I do like some of spz's ideas I do realize he's a busy man, and I can't wait any longer after flashing a custom rom to my friends Ascend.

If anyone wants to jump into the action, check out this link. http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/

Also feel free to join us at #openzio on irc. Please resaerch before asking any how-tos that are already covered.

Also, in part 2 when flashing the rom it says to reboot into recovery. We will use the tether method using openzio's clockworkmod recovery at this point.

If you do not have backups of boot.img recovery.img system.img please do so using nandroid backup the in the backup folder replace nandroids backup of boot.img with the one I extracted. Can be found here... http://db.tt/zisPRYH

I'm shooting for a black and green theme with a transparent notification drawer. Somewhat similar to Icarus mod for the ascend.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LiuAnshan:
Awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing what you cook up. I also wouldn't mind seeing a dark black/grey and red theme eventually.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Well if I can cook up a good rom we will see many themes that we can apply to the rom.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Well... I will be releasing my first theme this weekend. Just figured out how to get it to flash in clockwork and I am making some minor tweaks. I strayed away from my original idea a bit but I think you'll still like what I've put together.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LiuAnshan:
Awesome, looking forward to it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
[Solved] I just can't figure out how to integrate downloaded/installed apps into the standard ROM on the Zio. Titanium Backup PRO will do this for me, but I don't have $6. XD the life of the unemployed. Anyway, anyone with info would be greatly appreciated.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thronka:
* Your warranty is now void through the root process as required to
* load a custom rom, recovery, and other options available.
*
* No one in any forums, threads implied or there-of is not responsible
* for bricked phones,

Beta 1, 2.2 Android Build, has been compiled!

* A2SD Support - ****PLEASE READ NOTES BELOW****

* Wifi Works

* Bluetooth Works

* New Boot Animation! (surprise!)

* Terminal included

* Wireless and Wired Tether included

* 3G/HSDA Hack - you will get over 3Mbps on data and signal strength will be higher.

* Themed in black with original Arayray drop down menu.

* Original Arayray touches (you know what I am talking about!)

**** FULL WIPE IS REQUIRED DUE TO NEW KERNEL STRUCTURE AND FILES

FORMAT SYSTEM, BOOT, DATA and CACHE FIRST! ****

Notes: A2SD is enabled and moved Dalvik-Cache on bootup to sd-ext mount point upon first boot.

You must have a partitioned SD Card prior. Clockwork 3.0.0.5 does this for you. Class 6 always recommended. If you fail to do this, you will have a boot loop until you create a SD Card created with at least 128MB EXT3.

First boot will be slow. Just give it time - BusyBox is on overdrive the first boot!

Any apps you want will have to be downloaded. I used this to conserve space and battery.

Arayray Updater is not working and will force close / or work but do nothing. I did copy over the original Wallpapers.apk to allow Arayray Wallpapers. I am working with Arayray on this particular file.

From here on out (as this is just a testing build beta - even though I have made sure you can use this as your daily driver) will be together with Arayray. Beta 1 is the only release without his word of wisdom. Other releases will be part of his in the future. (disregard my last post before I edited to show the link)

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
Since I don't have control over credit card yet, I'll be a tester. Looking forward to it man, speed and battery life is what I need the most!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ninjasauce:
I'd love to test also I change Tom's alot so I've seen alot of stuff for the slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
ill test. id also suggest a modded kernel with smartass, the modded adw apk, and the option for themes like in cw nightlies.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Can you post screenshots please? I'm currently on Arayray Revamped and am wondering what the difference between this ROM is and Arayray Revamped or Arayray Revamped Themed? Thanks for continuing on this awesome ROM!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Only thing I'd like to see over the original is WiFi calling. Other than the I like mostly vanilla roms. I'd rather do my own customizations.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
I don't think there is an actual rom as of yet. So no screenshots either is my best guess.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
i am down to try this out. i like the customization of CM but i love the speed/battery life of aray. so combine those and that would be sweet...

and btw, if customization of the status bar isnt possible, make that sh** black...please and thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
This is gonna be cool!!!!

Make it as vanilla as you can man.(just my request, do what ya gotta do. :))

I'll test.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] biglo:
I will second that would love a normal vanilla ui with the slide widgets :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thronka:
I do have screenshots showing the vanilla UI.

I am using the vanilla as my daily driver to ensure all is working. No problems so far even with overclocking.

I will post those in original thread starter later this evening.

To those asking about sense widgets: I will not be including those due to legal reasons.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thronka:
Uploading Beta 1 as we speak. I tried to include most of way arayray does in this release.

Tell me what you think. Link will be updated when complete!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
awesome, gonna download it and take a look!

1 quick question: is that lib file related to swype still in here?

No swype files AT ALL and no libraries.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
woot, thanks for the info. flashing as we speak.

Also for people joining the thread. Make sure you have a nandroid to your previous rom just in case something goes wrong.

Please also post your problems either in a PM or in here. I would like the bugs from this version.

Thanks for all you XDA members and Arayray mostly! Without this, it wouldn't be great!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Just wanted to ask before I give this a test drive. Is WiFi calling on board?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kitila:
If its not just dl wifi call app its here in xda sumware oh and make sure u have latest radio othe wise it wonk work
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
is it normal for the beginning setup to lag a bit when pressing next and stuff? as in like delayed response to touch.

edit: nvm, it went away after a few minutes
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
alright, been testing it out on some things. the only thing that didn't work right was wired tethering. then again, i never figured out how to work it, so that's probably me doing something wrong.

the phone rebooted itself about 5 minutes after initial setup: first time was when i was recovering apps from titanium backup. then i reflashed the rom, full wipe, happened again around the same time, except i was manually updating/downloading apps instead of using titanium.

other than that, so far it's smooth sailing and i'm loving it!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
So I am using the rom in my Sig and since using Android I have been unable to play my higher quality movies. My latest example is Inception, I burned it from my DVD at 2000kbs, 29.47 fps, 128kps audio & 480x800 res. File size is roughly 2.28gb (mainly because of the length of the movie, a 90 min movie averaged about 1.1gb)

Now that may seem crazy but movies burned this way played just fine when using WP7 (never got around to switching back to WinMo to test it but I would imagine it would work), I played inception for example before switching to Android and now when using several different media players I get a "this video can not be played" error message. Nothing about the file has changed at all

Does anyone have any suggestions? Does Android have a problem with movies over a certain file size? It's encoded as h.264 mp4 using iSkysoft media burner (which is awesome btw, well worth the money)

Thanks for anyone that can help as I don't want to switch back to WP7 just to view my movies (at least until Mango is released :D)

I've been following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899801

Apparently someone has managed to get OpenGL 1.1 working on the CDMA hero.

I'm on VillainRom 13 (android 2.1), and my /system/build.prop looks somewhat different to what's in that thread.

Does anyone know where to insert the line "ro.opengles.version=65537"?

Do I need to flash to android 2.2 to get openGL 1.1? if so, will opera mobile let me view flash content?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Murrx:
Maybe try [ROM]Elelinux-Hero-2.1-update1 * WWE * , that already has opengles 1.1 included.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AMelbye:
I'll have a look at the Elelinux version to see how he has gone about editing build.prop

I gave froydvillain 1.7 a try, but I didn't really like it. I simply missed a whole lot of features provided by the sense framework, like the contacts/facebook integration, how the keyboard handles forreign characters, and how flash content on the web just works, so I'll stick to the 2.1-based rom I'm running for another while, and post back if I figure out how to get opengl 1.1 working :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AMelbye:
I had a look at the Elelinix build, and they had it implemented wrong in build.prop, inserting the line:

ro.opengles.version=165537

instead of:

ro.opengles.version=65537

What this does is telling your applications that you have opengl ES 2.3, rather than 1.1

Which is actually awsome, since it enables vector maps in google maps (which are smaller and quicker to download, and will auto-rotate)

So far I haven't seen any negative effects of this change.

the line should be inserted after:

ro.sf.lcd_density = 160

and make sure to replace libGLES_qcom.so, as specified in the original thread

Yea, signed up for the beta testing a couple months ago and used it for awhile. Pretty stable and has good looks and no lag really.

Sent from my blazing fast, voodoo lagfixed carrier pigeon.
[Captivate General] tysj:
If that's what you're running than that's a really old version. The version they sent allows you to set 4 shortcuts in the dock and 1 for the app drawer instead of the 2

It's a pretty neat and fast launcher except for a few things that may be just me:

-Look is a bit meh

-Can't place icons where you want them to (all gravitate from top to bottom, left to right)

-reeeeallly high memory usage compared to others (approx. 40-60mb, leaves some games running sluggish)

-Can't use live wallpapers (I would at least like the option to)

It's cool and different, but always find myself going back to even the stock launcher or ADW EX
[Captivate General] vunuts:
I think I got the beta 5 back in December or January, but I haven't really used it since then. I just reinstalled it real quick so I could post some screens.

Will all us HD2 users ever be able to download .zip ROMs straight from ROM Manager? And possibly even have Cyanogen nightly support for HD2?

I was just wondering as this would make installing new ROMs so much easier, instead of having to connect to my PC etc.

Replies welcome.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
isnt that what CWM does? you download the zip to your phone and flash fromthe phone, no need to hook to a pc

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DKxda:

I can't download hyperdroid from rom manager it says file is corrupt

Also cyanogen 7.0 does download but. When its done it ask me to clear data and it then reboots

To my old Rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] silverwind:
Youre right.

I use desire z, and has Rom Manager installed.

If I want to flash new rom, I just open the ROM Manager and let it download and run it. And it will reboot to the new rom (custom Rom, actually)

But, I usually cannot stay long, I always go back to stock rom :) because I really miss sense UI ;)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
The solution would probably be to use a ROM that is compiled correctly. I'm not sure why you think some code commit will fix your issue? What is your setup?

My guess is that you either flashed a ROM and then flashed an incompatible kernel over it, or that you flashed a ROM created by somebody who didn't know what they were doing. A little more info about your setup would be helpful.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjayman:
Im using LS 2.1 sense rom odex. I searched that thread and decadence posted that as a fix for the 768 kernel. The fix he linked is the one I linked to this page but I dont know how to do it.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjayman:
lol , disreguard ! just noticed after rereading this fix was for the rom developer. My bad
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
I believe it was stated in that thread that you can use a Zen kernel to fix. Or if you can find an older version of LiquidSense from before Decad3nce's kernel was incorrectly integrated, that would work for you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjayman:
yeah I flashed zen kernel and its all good, seems pretty snappy too. Thanks for your input. I guess ive learned that just becuase a rom is posted doesnt mean its always developed right.
