I hope this means we're getting official GB soon. I am tempted to wipe Froyo as I have some bugs maybe only a reformat will fix, but figure I might as well wait if this is the case.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Official froyo isn't going to be done soon dont hold your breath on that one. Just be very glad sammy started it already for the Epic which is how it should be considering we bought a device that cost the same as a computer. You gotta remember gingerbread is a whole new operating system that handles the features of your device in a completely different way than froyo did. the jit is reworked the modules are handled differently it's built in an entirely new fashion that should run way more efficient than froyo does I really dont mind waiting on this one to be refined before it's release. I rather wait a month or two more on froyo then have a release of 2.3 that has bugs and features that arent 100 percent functional.

[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
The whole post was merely a typo? ;-) I was told over and over again that diffs. between Froyo and GB were relatively miniscule compared to Eclair and Froyo. Not so?
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
Thats what I thought.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Where did you get that information? It's a completely reauthored operating system, just like any Android version update.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Its usually based off of people not really noticing a difference of how the phone works. It may look similiar to froyo, but its not.

[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
I have to do some web searching but I also recall reading that gingerbread would not be much different than froyo and it should be released much sooner than froyo. I read it from a couple different tech websites. They said that froyo was vastly different than eclair, but froyo was very similar to gingerbread.

Now that some people got the Nexus S 4G, its about time someone took a dump on the phone so Epic devs can play with it and see what can be done.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
If anyone bothered to look at the Android Git Repo for all the commits in regards to GB - you would probably realize that it is a fairly substantial upgrade.

Especially for HummingBird devices, we now have optimizations - just like SnapDragon got them with FroYo.

Not only that, but the UI is now hardware accelerated, which means the UI Engine was probably rewritten from the ground up. Which means samsung has to rework TW to work with it (I know you could probably careless about TouchWhiz, but it's got to be updated even if you don't like it)

That is a lot of changs. That proves what k0nane stated.

While certainly true, keep in mind that the Galaxy S II is already using Touchwiz 4. They shouldn't have to do any work in regards to the Epic. Just bring over the updates from that and call it done.

[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Sorry missed some post. Yes froyo was a type o. No I'm not confused on the differences of froyo and gingerbread. There was a link to some gb highlights but that no way means what code differences. They arent going to say gps is different than froyo, both oses have gps. They also arent going to say the phone handles gps differently in gb than froyo because most people dont see the underlying code. The ui acceleration in code is completely different. The kernel is different. Basically from a developer point of view, you have to re learn how android functions. These aren't things that the majority of users will ever see first hand. That's why they arent in the highlight links. It's going to take some work from samsprint to not only port raw gb to the epic, but also add back in the tw, carrier iq, google voice integration, sprint id, etc. you guys arent seeing the whole picture so I'm just trying to get you to understand how impressive the bootable alpha version is this soon.

If you want to see first hand sync google code for both os es and open the file structure to see first hand. Cm7 apha doesn't even allow you to mount your sd card. It's that difficult in the code to even mount the thing. The nexus s system dump already exists it's the source code release of the nexus s 4g that will help.

+9001 if only you could use the thanks button on the xda app >.>
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
You obviously don't understand the work it takes to port things over. The galaxy s II is using a whole new processor, screen, and at this moment i'm not too sure on what else, but either way, the hardware is different. You can't just 'copy and paste' the code over and it work, you've got to generate all new code for the different hardware.
[Epic 4G General] kiekan:
That may be true for Android itself, but I can't imagine touchwiz would need any huge amount of changes to be made for an Epic port, seeing as its essentially a complex skin for android (I'm simplifying here). I may be mistaken, but isn't the challenge to port for devs since touchwiz itself due to it being close source and we're not sure on where to make those small modifications?
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Touchwiz is built into android and is the reason froyo took so long. It didn't play well with sprint id. That's why you dont see touchwiz ported over to other devices other than the obvious that no other device wants it ;), it's not just an apk that you can install it's built into the framework and jar files. Just deleting the tw launcher dont rid tw, your still relying on the twframework.apk and the smali code it's embedded in which is produced from the actual android build from source code. Think of it like sence see how hard it is to port sense to non htc devices?

Hi everyone !

I´m an Argentinian who worked in the US for a couple of months as a J1 student and bought a G2, thinking I would be able to root it and unlock it to use it at home no problemo ( it's supposed to be an unlockable quadband phone afterall ). Now after doing all the shannanigans to get my phone ready to work with a local sim card, I get no signal whatsoever. I followed this guide :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855764

And confirmed I had done everything correctly by doing the following on adb :

# stop ril-daemon

# cat /dev/smd0 &

# echo -e 'ATE1\r' > /dev/smd0

# echo -e 'ATV1\r' > /dev/smd0

I am running Cyanogenmod 6.1 and the phone does recognize my Simcard's carrier ( Claro AR ). Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong ? Thank you !
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Does the phone read you are on any network? If not than it wouldn't seem as if you did it correctly.

Good luck
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtermish:
Yes. Like I said, the phone recognizes my Simcard ( ClaroAR ) but it won't give signal. Thank you !
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
1. Check if your APN is set up in Settings > WirelessAnd Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Networks. If there is no APN set up you should find the settings online.

2. Check your Radio version. If you are using the stock radio and you haven't updated yet you should most definitely do that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtermish:
Hey thanks for the tip ! Stupid me I was using a SIMcard without service ! Everything is working perfectly now. Thank you everyone! You may close the thread if you so will.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
I think that the frequencies that are in use by the carrier in your country are not supported by the G2.

For reference, the G2 supports:

- GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

- HSDPA 900 / 2100
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtermish:
Well according to several sites I've visited ( like this one ), Argentina uses 850 and 1900, so the G2 should work no problem. I have no idea why but some SIM cards ( of the same carrier I mentioned before, that is, Claro AR ) seem to work perfectly fine while others make my phone crash, not recognize the carrier and give no signal. In the latter SIM card, I get the following generic error at around every 5 seconds:

Sorry!

The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Any ideas ?

UPDATE: Could it be that the G2 has problems recognizing old SIM cards? The ones that fail are like 5 year old SIM cards (or older) and seem to have 32k of memory (or less), while the one that works has 64k. Has anybody else ever experienced this sort of problem ?

Thank you !

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Hi All,

I have asked this question a few days back and now i got a solution for this so posting the details here.

So here are tips and tricks on how to partition your SDCARD and still get it detected by the Phone.

Ohk so first off all credits

this method is not my own i have got tips from here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11687387&postcount=6

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811548 <- check the first post right after the quoted portion. That also suggest that last partition is used by froyo.

Based on this i started on the experiments and this is what i found.

Note : I have 3 partition right now.

500 MB = vfat first partition

1.5 GB = ext2 - kept for linux dualbooting experiments

5.4 GB = vfat second partition.

Based on my experiments this is what i can see.

first and last partition should be vfat.

first partition is available in recovery mode.

last partition is detected by froyo.

So if you want to use multiple partition then you need to make sure of keeping the following things in mind..

Note to MOD : Mod i thought this is related to DEV hence posted in this if this sounds more like a Q&A or other forum material please move the post to correct forum.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FabricioGS:
And why would I need it or what's the advantage of doing this?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
as of now u wont...

but this brings up possibilities to have multiple OSes on SDCARD (without need of loop mounting)...

something like on mult OS ibooting HDDs...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Right now nothing of use to normal user.

however as dev's are working on custom kernel and DooMLorD working on custom kernel manager and ROM manager scripts.

I thought having mutiple partitions can also help. So did an experiment .

However explicitly for me its basic usage is for Experiments on Linux dual booting on X10i
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Nice find! :)

But we still can't use Link2SD, right?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Didn't tried but we can i suppose after getting our partittions to properly mount.

also why Link2SD when you already have app2sd in froyo.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Links2SD moves much more data to SD than native Froyo.

And also, I can use the SD as storage without the apps becoming unavailable.

And I can move any app whether it supports it or not! ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Alright so you added one more task for my testing.

1) check how to automount other partitions

2) check Link2SD working

give me some time and i will check and report back that.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] admartian:
This is good info mate. Good news (hopefully) for those of use that prefer Link2SD.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rdannar:
Just what I'm looking for for Dec my next rom

Thanks

Does it work for ext4 partitions
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Should work... we were also checking if we can have 3 to 4 logical partitions inside an extended partition...

Anantshri told me that the only requirement is that the last partition needs to be vfat

sent from FreeX10_beta4+CM6 settings
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
It should work with ext4 also however not tested yet

also i am a bit skeptical coz read a lot about journaling have bad effect on SD CARD's life.

hey BTW can somebuddy point me to a place where i can purchase good SDCARD say for 16GB or more size. I am currently stuck with 8GB stock card by SE.

and you can guess it gets preety small for testing these stuff.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Link2SD i tried installing however it seems to have some issues detecting my partition.

I have

following layout right now

800MB - vfat - part1

1.6 GB - ext2 - part2

5 GB - vfat - part3

so we might need to look at the source code of the application
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Yeah, Link2SD detects the second primary partition only,

so maybe we can talk to the developer to implement a workaround

for issues like ours!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
All 3 of my partitions are made primary i did took care on that part.....

there is still some kinkyness left .

I have PM'ed the dev to seek his guidence on that lets see what we can get as response from him.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Thanks for all your efforts! :)

So, if I partition my SD like that to experiment,

will there be a problem with Froyo apps2SD and the vfat partition?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zabihjan:
cool will try it with my class 10 sd card
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Hey buddy just my thought out loud....Please don't flame me if that doesn't work for you. its working for me and that's why i posted. I think this a common rule for dev threads however just stating it again here.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
(from wht i gather) froyo+ android versions use /sdcard/.android_secure for native app2sd

there is a A2SD implementation which uses ext2/4 filesystem on sdcard to move apps to

These are nice. What about a black android with the green nvidia logo and green eyes (like those angry eyes you do)? Would you be able to do that? I like the basic one you did and the 3D android - one with the nvidia logo stamped on its body.

I made a really bad mockup; I apologize for butchering your art:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/687/androidmockup.jpg/

The green line between the head and the body - I wanted to signify the green beast within...It would look cool if it had like a gradient effect going out from the base of the head like light shining through. This is just an idea. Waiting to see what you can do with this :).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jairomeo:
LMFAO you used my spidey screenshot, too funny.

Yeah I can use my black 3D Android and give him the evil eyes with a green Nvdia logo and use green as the separation color between the body and head.

LOL yes I did. Radioactive Spidey.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jairomeo:
Here is a mock up I did, is this what you'd like? Ill finish it up next week. Just been a busy week for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] camelflage:
That's badass! This is almost perfect. Would you be able to change the eyes to your Spidey Android eyes except green? and instead of a white sheen on the top of his head, make it like a dark green? And if you could take out the "nvidia" text, that would be a cool variation. And instead of a black/white gradient, would you be able to do a background like this:

http://www.desktopnexus.com/dl/inline/47717/1920x1200/nVIDIA_1024-x-768.jpg?nocache=235444

with just the dark green bumpy part as the background?

Sorry for asking. You're getting a pint of guinness from me either way!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jairomeo:
I forget how I did the spidey eyes, Ill have to look and see but Ill try. yeah text isn't a big deal, Youll have to save off that background so I can see it, the link didnt work.

The sheen is reflection so I can change any of that to be green and make it appear that a green light is shining.
