Froyo implemented automatic restore of your apps. You can disable this in Settings -> Privacy -> Automatic Restore. Thats how your apps was there.

1.5 -> 1.6 (Donut) -> 2.1 (Eclair) -> 2.2 (Froyo) -> 2.3 (Gingerbread)

When I say Froyo, it means Froyo and ABOVE. Any releases by anything is cumulative. Durrrr.

WiFi and settings are saved on the Google cloud.

If you read what I said and ACTUALLY looked into what I said you would see it.

Menu -> Settings -> Privacy

Back up my data

Back up application data, Wi-Fi passwords, and other settings to Google servers.

Automatic restore

you had those two checked; they're asked when you are on the setup wizard.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zoubidou:
ok there a lots of different kernels around here, and as time goes on, the situation is getting more and more confusing.

so it would be nice to agree tom some convention to make things less confusing.

so I have some whishes for the kernel developpers (but even for the ROM makers). this does not really take in consideration CM7 which is specifique, but in a certain way do also apply to it.

Namin convention:

KERNEL Developper. kernel name and latest release date and eventually version.

- Kernels should basically also contain the following tools:

1. CWM

2. Busybox

3. Root (SU) installer (from within CWM) to prevent from installing the wrong version.

4. LAGFIX (if it is not included, it should be mentioned in the Kernel).

no matter what you add or modify in it, it should contain the aforementioned.

If a kernel has been tested with some ROM's it should state it in the kernel thread and also in the ROM thread, including version of the kernel and version of the ROM, this is for the ROM makers.

It should then also state what has been modified (this is mostly the case, but not all the time) or not everything.

SOUND, eventually which version, and if the voodoo configuration is working with it or not.

BLN

etc..

BOOT options:

RECOVERY

POWER DOWN

reboot

etc..

Concerning the ROM makers threads

it would be nice to have sort of a standard naming convention like:

ROM makers pseudo

Name of the ROM (marketing name)

version

date of release.

and always in this order or any order you would like to have (i prefer this one) but all ROM maker should agree to this.

And please do not forget to update the aforementioned whenever something changes, thus we don't have to search through the threads to find out if something has changed.

happy eastern and hope you all find some nice eggs.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Davixxa:
Hello everyone, I am really wanting to start

DEVELOPING

roms, but dont know where to start (not links to kitchens because these doesnt work for me (cygwin)) please help me.

Regards,

ServerBoost100
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
download an other custom rom and modify it:

add/remove apps

change theme

modify apps (change the icons..etc)

modify framework-res.apk

add tweaks

and any other things you want
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
I Think that we do not need more rom developer, with owain and slade we got enough, maybe yoou should study about kernel development, thats what we need :), im already studying kernels too
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
this is called cooking developing is from program code compiling to an apk or whole rom
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Davixxa:
Oh, but i would really like to know more about it :-P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Sesme:
:eek:

:rolleyes:

cywin and htc android kitchen by dsixda 0.157 if ... a good cooking tools... apkmanager 4.9 for sing and bach app files...

is the best for testing and developer rooms
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Davixxa:
Ive got the kitchen to work on a Ubuntu VM, but i dont know how to add tweaks and stuff like that

And also, another question, how would i make it flashable (i made a port from HTC Wildfire Stock rom -> Mini Pro rom) - What Permissions should i set?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Davixxa:
Bump
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
Download a custom rom and check /meta'inf/com/google/android/update-script

The permissions are in there make sure to use them study the update script its easy to use
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Davixxa:
What do you mean by that?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Download some custom rom (CM7, CM6, slade's rom or owain's rom) and check in, \META-INF\com\google\android\Update-script, what its inside this file, this will be damn useful for you

EDIT: BTW, check permissions :)

I think you should try things man, nobody will help you learning to be a dev :), just try with things, that's autodidactic process :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Davixxa:
I mean just where to mess in the rom :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
messing in the rom is modding,

try to port a rom close to our hardware like wildefire/legend htc sense

play with libs.

for developing get cyanogenmod/floyo or some other source and set it up and try to compile.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hugerth:
ServerBoost100, you are saying that you want to be a developer, but you ask for every step here. Maybe do your own job and study something, not only

;/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Davixxa:
I am just wanting really badly to start developing them. Yes i have googled :P

Ok, then i will mess a little with my "MiniSensePro" as i call it (My Until now non working port of Sense)
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
Hello. I tried the cyanogen 7 RC3. It is my first custom ROM I flashed...it is ok, the battery last double the time it last with stock sense rom. GPS still had problems but with a different radio things changed a lot....I could manage to get the fix in 10 seconds with GPS status.

I don't know why, but last days I couldn't get the fix anymore...rebooting, and so on...didn't help. Changing rom would help me see if the GPS gets a better fix or not.

Second reason I want to try a new rom is the contact management, calendar, facebook photo sync. These 3 things aren't really too well made on cyanogen...the contact list doesn't look as good as the sense one. Same thing for the calendar and the sync of the contacts with the various 'accounts' (google, facebook, SIM). I would like a rom with sense although it will be difficult to abandon the cyanogen gallery....which looks fantastic.

I am going to flash the MIUI to give it a try (just see what happens). But what rom could you suggest? Maybe with SENSE in it?

I don't find the interface important...I mean the interface is the last thing for me in a rom, I know I would always stick do ADW launcher EX for the home screens....what I find important is the rest (battery life, gps fix, contact and calendar management, photo gallery and camera).

I know sometimes some features can be replaced by 3rd party applications (SMS archive, camera software, and so on)...but some other features cannot.

I wait for your suggestions.
[Desire HD General] LeatherFace:
If u want sense then try leedroid v2.2.3... if no sense then try ultimate droid hD.. amazing rom.. im using it now and i dnt think il. Go back to sense roms
[Desire HD General] alexckma:
leedroid was the first rom I ever flashed it was great, but now I want to try others just to see what its like
[Desire HD General] letom:
That's the reason I keep coming back to Sense Roms, the contact managment and syncing through my different social media sites. And it just does it, flawlessly. I would try Android Revolution HD 3.5.
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
I like sense for the contacts, calendar and the facebook thing (I am no facebook addict but it is nice to have the photos of the contacts in the contact list...and that is automatically done by sense when syncing with the facebook account...ok some other roms do that too but how sense does it is just better).

I also like some sense applications and widgets....unfortunately the widgets are lost when I use ADW launcher ex....I love adw launcher for the high customized home screens, animations, and everything....but with this I lose the nice HTC widgets (contact widgets, calendar widgets). There are some other widgets on the market that can replace the HTC ones...but again, they are not as good.

So in my case there is a very big war between:

- contact and calendar management of sense

- ADW launcher and htc widgets

- the great things the cyanogen brought

- gingerbread and no sense

- some other details

So many interesting things which cannot live on the same device...at the same time...for instance MIUI looked very nice but had an awful gallery, too little customization on the home screen, but many things were very nice.
[Desire HD General] LazaBre:
Try Android Revolution 3.6 i thing is the best... :)
[Desire HD General] Rolando88:
ARHD 4.0

ARHD 4.0 Beta 4!! love it just waiting for the official gingerbread release so mike can make a rom with official gingerbread rom
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
ARHD 4.0 is old and outdated. other ginger sense roms are way better then ARHD 4.0 ( ARHD 3.6 is great tho)

Best ROMs imo:

FroYo Sense: ARHD 3.6 or CoreDroid

Ginger Sense: RCMixHD 5.9

AOSP: M-DJs Ultimate Droid
[Desire HD General] kwUAxx™:
Thats it, this ROMs are definitly [imho] the best.

My choice on DHD is RCMixHD 5.9, great ROM stable and smooth.
[Desire HD General] Henipah:
RCMix HD 5.9.7 is definitely one of the best, but you could also try CoreDroid HD GB 5.4 as well, they are my two favorites at the moment.

I just installing i00 Desire HD 4.1 at the moment............we'll see how that one goes!
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
But there is one thing I can't understand. What makes some user put sense away? I tried the 'ultimate droid' without sense...I mean, what's the point of taking it away? What are the advantages?

And also...I am now with MIUI 1.4.22. I wanted something new because sense or not sense, I always end up using the ADW launcher EX because of its app management, menu, visual effects and row customizations. So...what do you think about MIUI ?

And also, I can't go back to sense keyboard now that I am used to the ginger ones. Same thing for the power notification widgets (lights, wifi, gps, mobile data and so on).
[Desire HD General] UnholyChaosAngel:
I recommend CoreDroid 5.4 or 6(still working out a few bugs out one this one). CoreDroid was the first rom I flashed and I've loved it ever since. It runs smooth and has lovely eye candy.
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
MIUI! It's fast, very stable and it looks great. It's also much lighter then Sense ROMs which is about 280MB vs MIUI with 80MB.

And today MIUI is upgraded to 2.3.4 :)
[Desire HD General] jayge_:
RCMix, brings to us full sens 3.0....in couple of hours. The sens keyboard can easily be replaced.
[Desire HD General] harrykc:
just try other roms with your self, then you will got the better one.

Does it boot at all?

Can you reach desktop?

If not, have you flashed previously your rom?

Please supply more details.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ramanadodda:
Some times once in a day, and sometimes more than a week, basically it is rebooting when I am playing games for more than 10 minutes.

As a phone it is working fine. I am still not rooted.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Monu123:
Exchange it, if you have not done any changes to rom, as this firmware has no such bug, probably its a hardware issue.

Is your cell get heat up while playing?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ramanadodda:
yes, sometimes it heats gets heat while playing.. I am going to shop now, to replace it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
This seems to be some sort of ROM bug. Just reflash to Gingerbread, and be fine.

You can use my howto for that, for example:

I got the same problem happens very often when im making phone calls

im on 2.3

MIUI RC6

Just restarts when im making phone calls (sometimes 2 minutes in the call sometimes 15..)

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ramanadodda:
I found the issue with Advanced Task Killer. I am using Android Booster. Now it is working fine. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
This has happened to me twice in 4 weeks on jvk. Talking on phone then it quickly boots up. Faster than a normal off then power on though.

Also.

Maybe why the screen goes to sleep during a call...

If you set screen off to say 10 mins, when on a call the screen stays active for duration of call except when held to ear, then screen off sensor kicks in and its working normal. Seems screen off setting also switches off phone screen at set time instead of staying active.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] heroandroid:
Mine also rebooted, but it was on 2.1. The problem was that there was a bug in samsung's code. When I tdisabled the power saving mode under Settings > Display. The phone stopped rebooting.

I have 2.2.1 now and power saving mode is enabled without any problems.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sintrix:
Ok so Ive been looking in to building a Android tablet in to my car to use as a head unit.

Basically im running amps in my car so i need an audio signal from the unit.

I DONT want to simply run the 3.5mm headphone jack cable to the amps cause it will sound shocking.

I was just wondering if there are other ways of doing it.

I was looking in to something like sending the audio out the usb.

But what interested me was using using the OEM desktop dock with HDMI and using the HDMI audio out and using a DAC (digital audio converter i think) and converting the signal to analogue.

Does anyone know if this is possible at all or if there are better ways of doing it?

Ive been spending hours trying to find out a way of doing this!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TunaCanyon:
I'm working on this same project. I bought the dock connector to get access to charging and a line out simultaneously. The regular RCA adapter doesn't give you the ability to charge. I'm thinking the amps will be fine with the line output.

[Captivate General] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Cezar has a ROM, Continuum v5 (here). maybe you could download it and extract what you are looking for. Or, just use the ROM :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] :
Because most themes IMO are ugly. I personally like the stock samsung with some small modifications. No one does that. I haven't found one rom from the developers that don't screw with the theme. Not everyone likes what you like. The best I can do is download something from the romkitchen with the stock theme and get smart little remarks when I try to ask for help.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
http://www.dystopia-zero.net/xxjvb-stock.zip

There you go, dude. Completely stock except for xcal's kernel, 5 lock screen mod, built in ad blocking, overscroll effect and crt off. Also has launcher2, but it seems the icons in the app drawer are fuzzy, so if that bothers you, you might want to set touchjizz as the default launcher.

It also won't flash bootloaders, so you'll need to find the new 2.3 ones somewhere else. I recommend just flashing the stock jvb from samfirmware.com with xcal's kernel, then flashing this over it with CWM.
[Captivate General] OBatRFan:
Maybe wait it out for Perception II? DG ROMs usually have a pretty stock feel to them.
[Captivate General] :
MM do you know where I can find a tut on adding the extended menu and such. I'm interested in the dev part. Just hard finding anyone willing to help you get started.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
The one I linked you to has the extended power menu. Doing it yourself is a bit involved.. you have to decompile the .dex/.odex executable with baksmali.jar and edit the code (.smali files), then recompile it with smali.jar and repackage the apk. I don't know if there are any actual tutorials that go in depth on the topic; at least I haven't seen any. It's really kind of a dive-in-and-do-it thing.

If you want to try adding common features like that to a bare rom though, there are a lot of precompiled versions floating around on xda where you just have to replace the .jar file in the proper directory. Just search for the feature you want and chances are pretty high that someone already made a standalone cwm flashable zip of it. Either that or you can try pulling it out of existing roms and popping it in to your own, provided they're based off of the same build of android.

You should check out MikeyMike's rom building tut. It's one of the stickied threads at the top of the general section. It goes over the basics pretty well.
[Captivate General] :
thanks man. I'm going to have to give it a shot. This zip won't work with CWM 3
