Definitely +1 on the Arkon stand. Sturdy, flexible, nicely padded. I like how you can easily pick up the stand with the gTablet on it and move it around securely. I might also get a second stand for work.

What is the difference between JS8 and JS7?? Maybe which one is better?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:

[Legend Android Development] coltspackers:
Hey everyone,

I thought this was an appropriate place to discuss the viability of multiple video format playback on the legend. I've been trying out all the different apps that claim to be able to play an impressive array of video formats, but none of them can play a simple avi video file (even though it says avi support/playback in the app descriptions). Most just crash, or the video just doesn't play.

So, my question for you is, have any of you discovered a way to watch avi files, or any other video formats on the legend without flat out converting it to a playable format? (ex wmv, 3gp, mpeg are the ones supported i believe). Post your comments/thoughts/experiences! Not so much a question as it is me creating a thread for the discussion of app development for this problem (not technically a problem), or even integration of this added functionality to our fantastic bunch of ROMs cooked up by our friendly neighborhood devs.

Thanks,

Michael

Hey, this is my first post. I'd appreciate some enlightenment from you pros!

I have the Evo 2.2 - Mikfroyo 4.5 - netarchy toastmod 4.3.1 - pri 1.90_003

1) When turning on Sprint Hot Spot the message is "you do not have subscription to this feature, contact Sprint etv..

Question: I THOUGHT the sprint hot spot was hacked in Mikfroyo, No??

2) I currently use the wfi teather app and as I have seen elsewhere, the wireless tether does not work with the 3g, only 4g

Question: Does anyone else drop the 4g wireless connection (becomes 3g) every time a text or a phone call comes in, and thus breaking the wireless connection? I thought 4g connection was supposed to continue while using voice/text?

(I know it doesn't on 3g)

Hi guys,

Been trying a few new ROM's on my TG01, but I've stored all my contacts in the Export file of the original contacts importer/exporter application that came with the phone. Some ROM's don't include anything to import this... so... can you guys help me know where to get this CAB, or suggest a free alternative CAB to import my contacts please?

Thank you. (and yes... I've tried searching :-))

That's a mod of the original 3.0.0.6 that stays off with the phone charging. Since you have the engineering SPL (be sure, it can't be "sum number", it has to be 0.85.2007, not 0.86.000), I would still flash it with fastboot since it is so much safer. It's only one command.

Adam (that's right, right? :)),

I found an XDA version of the "How To" link I posted above: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443994 and the files are at the bottom of the first post and they are still available.

By the way, I used these instructions (along with lots of help from Amon_RA himself) for unpacking and repacking Amon_RA's custom recovery .img file (I built a version that doesn't require the use of a trackball for the Eris).

I think after you unpack the ramdisk, you'll just replace / update your init.rc file and then repack everything before doing the mkbootfs on your ramdisk directory (followed by your particular mkbootimg command).

Good luck!

Cheers!

thanks for you help i have the scripts now and i can get it to extract however i get the error "gunzip is not recognised" and the files it does extract are emply
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scary alien:
Are you on a Linux system?

The gzip / gunzip utilities should be on your system and/or referenced in you PATH environment variable.

Do a find / -name 'gzip' 2> /dev/null or find / -name gunzip 2> /dev/null or whereis gunzip or which gunzip (one of these should reveal the utility's location).

The unpack-bootimg.pl does use the gunzip command to extract the files, so you will need this utility.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scary alien:
Yeah, you'll have to grab some Windows versions of the Unix commands.

I can't remember where I got mine, but a quick search yielded this as a possible starting place:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-command-line-utilities-for-windows/

There's a couple of links to sets of tools. After you download and install these, make sure you point / change your Windows PATH to point to the utilities or just do all of your work in the same directory.

You really just need the utilities that are referenced in the Perl script... Not sure I'd bother with the whole Cygwin thing (your call, of course).

Cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] add.thebad:
Ok will try that. I allready have cygwin to try get the commands i will try ur link tho. Think im getting a bit outa my depth but ive learnt so much so far i dont want to give up so thanks for your help :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scary alien:
Well, I spent some time tonight trying to do this under Windows myself, but I used the split_bootimg.pl Perl script instead to create the *.img-kernel and *.img-ramdisk.gz files (with mixed success). lol, I had a hard time re-finding some good Unix commands that would run under Windows (I've got some good ones on my work PC, but that doesn't help me now).

Here's the relevant section in the original HOWTO link I sent you:

% ./split_bootimg.pl boot.img

Page size: 2048 (0x00000800)

Kernel size: 1388548 (0x00153004)

Ramdisk size: 141518 (0x000228ce)

Second size: 0 (0x00000000)

Board name:

Command line: no_console_suspend=1

Writing boot.img-kernel ... complete.

Writing boot.img-ramdisk.gz ... complete.

Now, extracting the ramdisk under Windows is a little trickier and I couldn't get the whole way there because I couldn't find the cpio command for Windows (you might have it already if you are using Cygwin). Anyway, the documentation explains that you would create a temporary "ramdisk" directory, change to it, use the gzip utility to uncompress and feed the output to the cpio command to actually extract the files and directories:

Extract the ramdisk.

% mkdir ramdisk

% cd ramdisk

% gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i

% cd ..

That should work for you (if you have appropriate utilities) and should give you the various files that comprise the ramdisk for you to modify (i.e., the init.rc).

After modifying them, you would use the mkbootfs utility (not sure if this is actually available in Windows) to re-pack the ramdisk and then use the mkbootimg command to re-pack your boot image.

It might be easier to get a Linux distro installed that you can launch from Windows just to do this.

Good luck!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] add.thebad:
ahaa managed to get everything extracted and edit the init.rc so thank you for all your help

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scary alien:
Adam,

Glad you are making progress :).

Here's the last few bits that I used to re-pack my ramdisk and to rebuild the bootable recovery .img file (i.e., ramdisk + kernel):

# pack-up the ramdisk directory's files to build the new ramdisk .zip

#

mkbootfs ./ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk-new.gz

# now, repack the kernel and ramdisk to make the new recovery image

#

mkbootimg --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz --base 0x11200000 -o new-recovery.img

This is very similar to the instructions in the HOWTO thread.

Also, note the --base parameter in the mkbootimg line, this is unique/specific to each phone/bootable image since it appears to be the boot/load address, so you'll have to know or find-out what this particular value is for your situation.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Cheers to you, too!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] add.thebad:
ok gave up in windows cannot find a command or perl script for mkbootfs so now in ubuntu giving it a try
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] add.thebad:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scary alien:
I believe that the mkbootfs utility is available / created as a result of building / compiling the Android open source.

Like I mentioned before, its been a while since I did all this myself, but I had to download and do the base "make" for the Android open source since I was actually changing and recompiling the custom recovery.

So, you'll need to check-out / download the desired AOSP branch / version from the proper location (which eludes me at the moment). Then, I believe doing the base / generic "make" for the AOSP will create or reveal the mkbootfs utility.

One of the threads in the following forum should have a better, starter explanation for doing the above that I could post here:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=613

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scary alien:
Adam,

Sorry for not getting back with you sooner, but you must have replied to me last night when I was composing the last reply I posted and I never got an email notification of your message and issue.

Good news though, I think you've got a simple syntax error where you omitted the --kernel and --ramdisk text from your command.

Here's my sample command:

mkbootimg --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz --base 0x11200000 -o new-recovery.img

Here's the command you tried:

mkbootimg --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --boot.img-kernel.gz --boot.img-ramdisk.gz ----base 0x10000000 -o new-boot.img

Notice the text in red that you seem to have omitted :eek: :D ;) ...no biggie, though: easy to fix.

Hope this helps. Looks like you are very close.

Cheers!

edit: I also noticed that in your command, you provided a .gz (gzipped kernel)...I did not in mine..., so you might need to take a look at that, too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] add.thebad:
