[Eee Pad Transformer General] graffixnyc:
Hey everyone, I posted this in general but figured I would post it here as well. I have set-up a irc channel for the Transformer. I set it up for a number of reasons. It allows users with issues to stop by the channel and get "instant" help from a dev or more experienced user. For Devs it gives them a place to go to get testers immediately for roms/apps they are working on. We have one for the moto xoom and all the devs come in there when they have things that need to be tested. I know it has made the dev's life easier for the xoom because whenever he needs someone to test there is usually someone available. My goal is to make this channel a great resource for devs, testers and power users to come together and share ideas etc... I'm also looking for a few trustworthy people to become mods in the channel. (Established devs always get mod access)

The channel is on freenode irc. #asus-transformer

If you have root access you can alter the sensor behavior to shift between brightness levels more slowly instead of fast and jerky, but it appears it is never completely disabled.

My apologies your right. I cannot disable it. It looks like it only operates at about 30 percent from where I set the brightness and the changes in the auto brightness are so Minor I barley notice it at the higher brightness levels. I guess I was expecting much worse.

[XPERIA X8 General] ahteok:
Hi,

I hav just flashed my x8 with minicm6 1.0.0 for x8.

everything works fines and its an awesome ROM.

however, i m not sure wat i have done (to the busybox version update or network connection thingy), after one reboot due to unstable WIFI connection, the phone just could not boot into the system.

it shows the unlock phone main screen with no network service. when i unlock the phone, it appears some error messages like "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. please try again", "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly", after force close a few times or leave it alone, it will restart with appearing only the cyanogen logo and repeat the same problem.

i tried to remove the battery and restart to attempt to boot into xrecovery but failed... it will proceed with loading the minicm6 rom and repeat the same error.

HELP.. i dono wat else can i do now..

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austinbrown92:
First off, apologies if:

-someone has posted something exactly like this

-this is the wrong section

-this is easy to fix and I'm just oblivious to it.

I'll try to keep it short: I had the official 2.2 ROM on my phone. I tried rooting, and when I got to "/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/mtd0.img", it said that there was no more available memory. I tried uninstalling some things, but no-go. I tried a factory reset, which is where I'm thinking there was a problem. The phone restarted, but then looped the "T-Mobile Mytouch 3G Slide" screen. I left it alone, thinking it needed to get everything in order. An hour later, and no change, I pulled the battery, waited and tried to turn the phone on. It looped again. I then tried without the memory card, which worked. Or so I thought, cause now my phone won't acknowledge the sd card. I've reset, factory reset, flashed ESPRIMG with a goldcard, tried re-updating with the 2.2 RUU, different sd cards, but nothing is working. Basically, is my phone effed, or is there some small sliver of hope that I'll have my Slide up and running normally again?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
do you have another Sdcard to try?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austinbrown92:
As I've stated, I've tried other sd cards. It's like the phone doesn't realise that there's an sd card in it at all.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
sorry its late and tired, but aside that,

Phone is able to boot? if so can you mount the phone?,

also if it does boot check the sdcard prongs, my wife sdcard what wacky and did everything by flashing and buying new sdcards and what i did was slightly lifted them and place the sdcard back in and it was reading it again,
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austinbrown92:
Yeah, it boots. Now when you say mount, you mean in adb or something? Cause when the phone is connected via USB, my only options are Charge and Sync. Either way, when I try adb devices, nothing shows.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimczyz:
Try booting it up and got into settings>storage and try to mount your sd card in there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austinbrown92:
There's no mount option. I dunno if it matters, but when I reboot or factory reset the phone, the "removed SD card" notification is in my status bar. I've tried selecting it, but nothing happens. I'm at a loss here, and, being the pessimist that I am, I'm thinking it's a lost cause. Should anyone have a working solution, you'd have my undying gratitude. My Slide holds a special place, since it was the first Android phone that I rooted, and subsequently led me to learn as much as I can about Android. So please, any help at all is appreciated.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
there should be more options like charge sync, usb mode, and something else, as well settings and unmount then click format sdcard, and see if it will remount by itself
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austinbrown92:
Tried. When I go into settings>connect to pc, my only choices are charge or sync.

Same thing in settings>sd card and storage. even with different memory cards inserted, the choice to mount, unmount, or format are greyed out.

I gave up today and called tmobile. My replacement phone will be here in a couple of days. Thanks to those who tried.

hey man hows it going i prob got to you to late but check it out rooting the offical 2.2 rom is a pretty advanced task when i got my mytouch slide it had 2.1 could not stand it so i rooted istalled cm 7 and clockwork mod and turned s-off life was sweet lol then out came offical 2.2 from tmob i was stupdily curious so i flashed it bam root gone s-off gone clockwork the whole shabang. and i didnt like it after i had it so after alot of adb code and programs i found out how to root the offical 2.2 easly without gold cards and that junk you do not want to use a gold card if at all possible when you get your new phone if you want it rooted and all email me email in profile i will be glad to get you going cause if your new phone has 2.2 on it you have to gain temperary abd shell root using superoneclick and then pick up the original way of rooting as listed in xda fourum but lmk glad to help this prob dont make sense anyway lol. and your phone would not reconize sd card because when you typed those commands you changed the directory of the sd card path in shell you could have changed the path back but i just read you got new phone now

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticMgcn:
I know I should post this to the new thread in the Gen8 Android Development section, but I'm new to the forums and can't post there yet. We know the kernel is fine since we get the kernel and modules from Angstrom. The major issue I see is that Angstrom has some highly customized init.d and rc.* scripts, as well as a ton of udev and xmod files not found in kubuntu by default. The Angstrom xorg.conf doesn't even include this line:

"Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-UNITEC_USB_Touch__Win7_-event-if00"

So I'm sure if we traverse through what's in the Angstrom rootfs.img we should find our answer to at least the touchscreen.

Try taking a look at the archos-init.sh script in the /etc folder of Angstrom.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagleofdeath13:
The modifications made on Angström to make it work on Archos are all told on the Archos website, (on the same page where you download the SDE, the button under the "Download AOS" one)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticMgcn:
Well... Yes and No

Angstrom is built using a system called OpenEmbedded (OE). OE works much like rootstock but is a little bit more advanced. It not only allows you to build a .img from a certain distro (in this case Angstrom) but also allows you to build for specific embedded devices. Right now though the newest Archos devices aren't located in the OE repo yet, so what's on the site that your seeing is actually an overlay that goes over what you download from OE that has the configs to tell OE how to built for the Archos Gen 8 architecture. It doesn't actually contain any changes to the scripts or files.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrewdlove:
Very interesting guys, thanks a lot.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrewdlove:
Do you have any idea if I could build an ubuntu or kubuntu .img with openembedded and then apply archos's changes to that. I've been looking for some documentation but all I have found so far is documentation relating to angstrom.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticMgcn:
While it should be possible, as you've seen documentation is lacking for OE and I've personally had a lot of issues with it just from trying to create my own stock Angstrom .img to see how it worked. Plus it just seems like a lot of work as you have to create BitBake (.bb) files for the programs you want to install, compared to using rootstock and just being able to call out the programs you want installed by default with the --seed switch.

I think we're really a lot closer than we realize to start from scratch with OE. We have the kernel and drivers in place as well as the filesystem, we just don't have a way to tell the system to load the drivers the way they need to be loaded through either udev or init.d/rc.d*.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticMgcn:
Well the problem was with udev and I've gotten the mouse to work without the need for an xorg.conf. I'll post more when I can but I may scrap this as everyone lost interest. I'm building a new image from Natty instead of Maverick anyway where udev isn't so flaky.
