Sorry, he's the guy who put together the COS-DS ROM for G1/HTC Dream based on CyanogenMod and AOSP sources.

Wait... can signing the zip be as easy as including the CERT.MSA and related other two files as found in the other update.zip files I have that work? Seems that would be too easy... I assumed there would be something in the zip file headers that would be modified to reflect a key as well so that they would also have to match. Maybe this is getting too in-depth...

So just put together a common zip file with the update-script and the right folder structure in it, and I'm good? I tried that too and it also failed. Does the NAME of the file have to be update.zip in that case, though? I didn't actually try that. My unsigned one was named "CJ-Audio-Update_unsigned.zip" or something like that.

Okay then. From here it's a lot clearer than a week ago. Thanks for taking the time to explain it so thoroughly... I think so many people understand so little and they're so quick to say "here, just use this other guy's tool LOL!!!111!1 he r0x0r$!!!1!1". I mean, that's great, that there are tools, but I want to understand it, not just be a script kiddie with someone else's tools, blindly trusting that they're doing it right and all that. Not saying the tools are bad or wrong, but by knowing myself, I know whether it's done right, you know? Same reason I learned automotive mechanicals, computers, and electrical wiring. Oh, and plumbing is slowly being added and in a few years roofing :)

Then it's on to framing as I build a 20-by-20-foot "workshop" in the back yard :D but I digress...

Thanks again!
[Android Software Development] cj chitwood:
Well this is interesting...

I took the MSA and other two files from the COS-DS update, and put them in a new zip containing my other files (not signed) and it didn't complain about no signature... instead, it failed saying some lib file is missing. Stagefright or some such. Progress is still progress though...

EDIT:

Okay, so it looks like there's something in those signats that says, "hey, look for all these other files too", so I'ma try a different tack...

EDIT2:

I guess I'm just gonna have to use Testkeys. They appear to have worked. :/ But if everyone else is doing it that way, I guess there's no harm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Well I see all these roms out for the leaked 2.3.3 and then I see CM7. I've never used CM7, so I'm.not aware of the differences. Could someone shed some light for me and possibly direct me towards me
[HTC Inspire 4G] lwfb:
Well...

The leaked 2.3 Roms have sense 2.1.

CM7 is built from source to be like vanilla android, but there are more options.

I've tried a few of the GB/Sense rom's and I've been on CM7 since nightly 17, now on RC3.

Its more of a matter of appearance, I've tried a lot of them and I prefer CM7 builds, but I use Sense sometimes, as well as MIUI, which also has a 2.3 build.

Its a brilliant community and the developers for the desire HD/inspire have turned out some amazing quality rom's.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Well question is what's the difference between sense 2.0 and 2.1? I just want opinions and what everyone seems to prefer. I'm looking for a nice look with good download / upload speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lwfb:
The differences between sense 2.0 and 2.1 aren't that big, but there is a settings tab in the notification pull down and a tweaked app drawer that has favorite and downloaded app tabs.

That's really it aesthetically, but under the hood its made to work with android 2.3.

They are all test builds though, you could try an optimized stock rom with sense 2.0 and froyo?

There are a lot of options now and more to come.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Well I've heard great things regarding CW7 so ill just try everything LOL thanks a lot
[HTC Inspire 4G] gdanko:
Stay away from anything that is burdened by Sense!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
So avoid sense? Y
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
The highest I've seen for our phones has been 1200Mah.

Anyone found anything higher?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
Not a huge jump from the stock 1130mAh, not really doing anything in terms of battery life. I def couldn't justify purchasing this.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Well, my battery is toast from all the development I've been doing on it, so I'm going to order that battery. I'll report the performance.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
How is that new battery?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
The verdict is still out. I charged it last night, and drained it completely within 6 hours. Im now charging it again.

We'll see after a few cycles how it performs.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] z3r0t0l0rEnCe:
I have to look into a battery myself. I can unplug my phone and watch it all but count down like a clock.

ZIO 2.2 ROOTED

ADW Launcher EX

Gingerbread Theme
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
The 1200mAh battery holds about 30 minutes more life on avg
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Lol. Sucks, I'll stick with stock.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] lothrids:
Not sure that is worth it. I mean that battery can't be cheap and only gaining 30 minutes... I guess I will be still king to the stock battery for now.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
How much more did it cost than a stock, and would YOU deem it worth the difference in price?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] SuperDeform:
with stock battery are you gettin atleast 4 days of standby life?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Dont know, I've never _not_ used my phone for 4 days in a row.

As for the 1200mAh battery life, its not any more than the 1100mAh.

Just nice to have an extra battery available that will fit nicely in my wallet.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
The only way I see 4 days standby is if you use setcpu and have no phone service or Wi-Fi and the screen is off the whole time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toza:
Locking... Was it all Zune?

I was wondering, since Chevron was able to work only with Zune, and if you wish to install

a new update on your device, you must update the Zune first.

Is there a possibility that Zune is the one that makes all the problems?

Maybe they altered the ports that Zune uses to comunicate with WP7 device,

and since the chevron used HTTPS, they're not compatible any more,

and therefore, they can not comunicate.

I know it sounds like conspiracy theory, but i was checking protocols and have found some inconsistencies...

Maybe im wrong...

Your opinions? :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Arktronic:
NoDo doesn't require an extra Zune update, so no.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toza:
Unfortunately, pre-Nodo aksed for Zune to update...

At least it asked me to update it...

That's where my doubts come from:o
[Windows Phone 7 General] dememted1:
for me, when i couldn't get wp7 unlocked i noticed that either zune or windows was changing the host file just as chevron tried to connect... no matter what i did ie changed values , edit user rights, even tried system with read only rights ,... something kept changing the host file to "my ip.windowsdevelopers.com" now i use a win7 instalation in a virtual drive with no zune or windows updates at all. seems to work for me..
[Windows Phone 7 General] toza:
Interesting solution...

I have tried installing Zune on another computer and tried to run Chevron,

but no luck... All I'm getting is error, that Chev. can't make connection with device.

Current state of OS: Build 7008 (That's pre-Nodo right?)

Cheers!;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dememted1:
yep 7008 is pre nodo... i unlocked with chevron with that os. used vmware workstation. clean install of win7 (no updates except windows phone 7 usb drivers) then zune. unlocked first time.

you may have to re set your phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] toza:
Well i did hard reset my phone for a couple of times, but had no luck...

I shall wait now... I will probably try some more on other computers, but

if I don't succeed, I will play by MS rules and do the NoDo.

After that, the waiting for a jailbrake shall be waited upon:D

P.S. A question, bit off topic.

Is there any way to insert custom ringtone to a non-Cheved device?

I can't access My Ringtones folder via Windows Explorer, even though

i changed registry on my computer to be able to access the phone as

a regular usb device...

Tnx up front, for any info provided;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dememted1:
not really.... even if you did put them in your music folder zune on your phone doesn't seem to read the id3 tags and calls them unknown without names.

try..... fresh install win7 then connect phone aand get drivers... then zune... then chevron,
[Windows Phone 7 General] toza:
Yep, that's the problem with ringtones, or music at all...

I will try that with Win7, because i curently have no other options:(

Anyway, many thanks for your help!;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] OskarUA:
Is there any Android build for xperia that supports video playback?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] przemhb:
As far as I know video decoding acceleration is currently not supported. On the other hand I have read on Neopeek that it has been fixed for Rhodium, but hadn't been committed.

We have to wait until eventually it will be committed and someone will port it from Rhodium to X1.

Personally I don't believe it will be soon as the main build quality factor by now seems to be FPS achieved and not functionality or stability. People prefer to have a possibility to play Angry Birds and developers give us more and more overclocked GPU's recently. Reliable and long lasting battery seems not to be the main point of interest, although it should be, as it is a base for calling a system usable in every day life.

On the other hand big thanks for those developers who work on a new kernel and put their effort in making X1 Android port comparable in terms of usability to WM.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] OskarUA:
Thanks a lot for the answer, I'll just hope video will be ported some day. Now when microsoft doesn't support windows mobile android seems to be the only option for x1.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronmech:
Given the fun and FUD surrounding the AT&T-Mobile merge, does anyone know of an Android phone that can play 3g on *anyone's* GSM network? I noticed that the crApple Ipuke 4 has 4 3g bands (presumably so they can have "One SKU to connect them all") Are there any Droids with that capability?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
There are some phones listed as "Coming Soon" under the tmo site that have all bands. I'm not sure that any are available at this time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creativedevil:
So far the only phone capable of ALL GSM Bands is Nokia N8. No Android or Windows or the Apple is capable of doing so as of now... iPhone doesn't support 1700...

AT&T might have such a phone in future if the merger ever happens... And man, that will be an awesome feeling to have a phone of my choice of OS and I don't have to bother being restricted with one career...

I am worried, if Canada will ever see that phone... :-(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsrkewd:
The Samsung Vibrant has the 1900 band which works for AT&T (AT&T use 850,1900), so it may cover all area, but it works in NYC
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkmaster_6:
Lol cell phone career giving you choice? Thats the best joke i have ever heard
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasbin:
Not sure what the original question is exactly, because GSM is really only one band around 900 Mhz. My understanding is this is normally used for EDGE, and 3G speeds / HSPA usually occurs only on the much higher frequencies.

And technically speaking, there is no GSM in the Americas, only in Eurasia. Here we have 850Mhz which should be referred to as CLR not GSM.

But if you're talking about Android phones that are 3G capable on both AWS frequencies (T-Mobile) and PCS (AT&T, Bell), check out the newly-announced LG G2X. Appears to have frequency bands for both, as well of course as CLR (Edge speeds).

The iPhone 4 does *NOT* have such a radio.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ill_dawg:
The N1 has you covered on most bands, but not quite all of them. By the time the merger goes through, though, there will probably be more and better options.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creativedevil:
Hahaha very funny, isn't it? Well, its not... cuz you obviously didn't get the point... Its not a choice given by career, its about the the contracts you have to go with... and if there ever is a phone which can support all the frequencies, it will give an option to switch between any GSM providers. Currently it is only possible with Nokia N8...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anomaly:
The G2x should support all popular bands.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creativedevil:
Unfortunately it doesn't for 3G connection.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecdy:
Is there any way to avoid an automatic update to 2.3 on the MT4G? I've used 2.3 enough on my N1 to know I don't want it on my 4G, because I'd probably lose temproot (inc. Titanium Backup Pro), juice defender, and wake on trackball push. And no temproot means I'd also have all the ugly bloatware back.

2.2 on my 4G has been better (battery life, speed, Swype KB) than 2.3 on my N1. How can I avoid ruining this device with 2.3?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
There is nothing that you, I, or anyone else can do to avoid 2.3 being an OTA update. You'll just have to decline the notification once you get it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
if i remember right you can just hit ignore when the update pops up. not 100% on that but thats how it was on past android phones i have owned. also why would you lose wake using track pad in 2.3?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
If it is a T-Mobile update why would you lose anything? Swype is a stock app, they arent going to take it away. Juice defender is a market app...you can always re download it. And Temp Rooting everytime you reboot just so you don't see the bloatware makes your phone run like a snail anyway...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecdy:
2.3 fails

I know because I've got an N 1 with 2.3 juice defender doesn't work, trackball wake doesn't work,temproot probably won't work , battery life sucks. Check the N1 page for confirmation.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Well you can always perm root your phone and run CM7 which is 2.3...and use your trackpad wake and not have the need for juice defender because your battery will last much longer than stock anyway...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
Yeah mine wakes fine on 2.3. Along with the rest of what your talking about. the my touch isn't the n1....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
I have yet to see any noticeable difference between cm7 and stock once the battery has been calibrated properly...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
I think the battery life is much better. I use my phone much more than my wife does, and she has to charge one time throughout the day. I wake up at 7, take my phone off the charger, and i got to bed at 11:30 with 25% battery remaining.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
You should reconsider your stance on updating. First off the mytouch is a far superior phone compared to the N1. It will also make your phone more stable and im am sure that with in a few days of being released a dev will figure out how to root it.

If you really don't want the update you can 1. keep declining the notification, or 2. perma root your phone and use a custom rom such as cyanogen mod. I believe other roms will keep the update from happening. 3. Call t-mobile and have them remove your ime # number from their system.

Im waiting for the infuse to come out and will give it a try and if it's not to my liking I will wait longer for the sgs2 to arrive.

I wish companies would give tentative dates as to releases on these devices like samsung did with their new galaxy tabs. I was actually going to buy a xoom wifi until I saw samsung was releasing the new tabs in june.

So I downloaded Absolute System from th market and they have this bootanimation name "Metropolis "

It pretty cool but i think It was built for the small screen and it shows up in its own little window with the black border.

I was wondering if anyone could resize this for me to fit the 4g. Screen.

Thanks in advance.

I tried uploading the.zip but none of the upload sites will let me from my phone. And I don't have a pc right now.
[myTouch 4G General] mustk1ll20:
i got that app from the market and downloaded the one you wanted. dont know about resizing so uploaded it for some one else to try.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Difusal:
can it be a problem with the rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
No, it will be a a kernel-related issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venult:
i usually place bootanimation.zip in /system/media

as already said, it depends on kernel.

eg. in Talon kernel the file must be named sanim.zip and goes to the same location.

it also can happen the kernel not supporting boot animations...

reading kernel instructions, usually is a good idea :D

but i guess you can try Speedmod's one or Dark Core 2.8

so here its the way to do it:

dial:

*#*#INFO#*#* AKA (*#*#4636#*#*)

then a window will appear, select the first option

Device information or phone information (well i suppose something like that since im watching in spanish and looks informacion del telefono)

scroll down and find:

you only need change to GSM Only and done

you are now under 2g ;D

hope this help

[Atrix 4G Android Development] navalynt:
Also, you can see and edit your SMSC number from the same screen. So if you are using an Unlocked Atrix and having issues with your SMS, check with your provider's technical support to get the SMSC number and verify it's correct. Some phones don't always update that correctly from the SIM.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] PSY0NIC:

I can confirm that it doesn't work with my Atrix either.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Shaydar:

[G Tablet General] brihyn:
We just picked up a brand new GTab from a coworker for a steal (he bought it, didn't like it, and is going with a netbook instead). I've done a bunch of reading already, but have a LOT more to read before I do too much.

I do have a question though...

I like the idea of a nice interface, and kind of like the interface of the stock rom, however it's a bit useless without market, etc. However, I don't really want it to look like an over-grown android phone. I'm leaning towards TnT Lite, but so far undecided.

So, my question is... If I just go with the idea of rooting it and adding Market/Flash/Etc, what am I going to miss that I'd get with a new rom? I assume some speed? Noticeable? Anything else?

I haven't seen a lot of screenshots of TnTLite...will I be satisfied with it, or will I just feel like my evo's screen grew even larger? (I know you can't say if I will be satisfied or not, but how is it? is it really much different then a stock Android screen?)
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Some people modify theirs to look exactly like their phone, others prefer the different more tablet like interface. I know with tnt lite 4.3 you have the option of using both classic and tap n' tap home screens. The speed is awesome especially with clemsyns new kernel (also fixes power off durring sleep issue) and it gets full market at first boot, no extra tweeks necessary to get it working.

Good luck, :-)
