Hi all,

I have a BSIT with emphasis in software engineering, and I'd like to break into the mobile devices embedded development field (specifically Android). I've never done anything with embedded engineering before. From what I can gather, it's best to learn first Linux embedded engineering and then apply that to Eclipse with a C/C++ CDT understanding, am I correct? As a new grad, I obviously feel that my education hasn't trained me for the real world, but that's not unheard of. The important thing is that I'm a quick learner with a knack for software and I.T.

What would you recommend I start with to self learn embedded engineering for Android mobile devices?

Huge thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] k4str0:
Head first is probably the best way to learn. Go to android.com click on the developers link and read the step by step on setting up eclipse/sdk. Start writing apps and improve. :) anddev.org is a great place for tutorials and general help getting you started. Best of luck!
[Android Software Development] howetechnical:
Thanks for the tip, however it's not "regular" apps that I want to create. My goal is to equip myself with the knowledge needed to gain an entry or higher type position developing embedded software for microchips at a local company (who happens to be one of the largest developers of mobile processors, etc). I'm currently reading O'Reily's Building Embedded Linux Systems to gain a better understanding of the kernel, etc, but wanted to know if anybody knew of a book or resource that was more catered for Android.
[Android Software Development] doctormetal:
You are talking about embedded software development. What is your definition of 'embedded software'? If it is about small microcontrollers learning android might not useful. You should be able to read and interpret printed circuit board drawings and hardware datasheets to be able to understand how to access the hardware from software. You must also be able to write device drivers to interface with that hardware. If you want to create applications for embedded system you must be able to program using relatively sparse resources. Learning all this from scratch is not easy.
[Android Software Development] howetechnical:
I believe that is what I'm trying to do. The position(s) I'm going for are developing software for mobile chipsets (CDMA, etc) to improve power performance, add functionality, etc. I do understand that it will not be an easy task, which is part of the reason I want to do it. There won't be a dime a dozen going for the position, like there are in typical software engineering jobs. Plus, I could really see myself enjoying it since I'm passionate about mobile technology and am an extremely quick learner.

I think I'm on the right track at least with reading a couple of books, one being the highest recommended embedded linux systems book out there (by O'Reily), and the other being catered for embedded linux engineering using Eclipse and the C/C++CDT.

[HTC Inspire 4G] tisel:
Hello all,

I have had my HTC Inspire 4G for a few days now. I am completely new to smart phones but have figured my way around using apps, the internet and changing my screen's wallpaper.

I see that the phone comes with tons of useless apps that I want to get rid of and I heard about "rooting" my phone.

Whats is rooting anyway? What are the pros and cons?

How can you trust the person that made the root program etc

also are there any useful websites I should know of? is this the premier android forum? are there any others out there
[HTC Inspire 4G] stonewallmike:
It sounds like you oughtta do some googlin'. There are a number of guides and articles that you can read over that will answer your initial questions. Try this one:

http://www.androidcentral.com/what-rooting

Probably the two most important things you need to know are: search for answers to your questions before you ask them publicly, and follow directions to the letter. After that, things will go pretty smoothly for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Perhaps you overlooked the stickied guide in this general section of the forum?

Guide to rooting and flashing by user Mudknot2005.

Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
In a nutshell, "root" is the superuser of a unix system. Like Administrator on windows, only even more powerful. The phone runs a linux OS so at the core it is unix-like. "rooting" can mean a lot of things, but basically, it is getting sufficient privileges on your phone to be able to read/write whatever you want and from there, change how the phone behaves.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
If you do decide to root i suggest using bubbys one click. I know it reads scary, but its actually very easy. There is even a vid linked to it to show you better. Good luck!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Actually, Hack Kit V11 is simpler now. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] tisel:
but how can you trust people who wrote the program? could it be a virus in disguise.

im just wondering :confused::eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
If you're that concerned about it, I don't recommend rooting your phone.

FWIW, I do malware cleanup/puter repair as a side gig and I haven't come across anything on here that wasn't legit. ;)

Use the Ace Hack Kit and follow the instructions to a T. If you hit a bump in the road, search first then ask if you cannot find a definitive or concise resolution for your issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] YoungAceAtlanta:
Anyone who is new to smartphones (or just android period) i don't recommend you rooting your phone..

I say learn about it some more. watch some videos, read some threads, then read them again.. and again.. to it sticks in your head..

then i suggest you should root.. it sucks to see thread saying "help i bricked my phone!"
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
+1 I Second that. I'd like root my phone, but since I'm in no hurry, I'm on here reading and learning about it. I'll prolly root after December if AT&T doesn't let me utilize my upgrade to the newest HTC device they have then, as I paid for this via off contract pricing. I had heard from Desire HD owners, that it is tricky to root given HTC's signed bootloaders. Hence the, what looks to a noob, as an overwhelming and potentially complicated process. Like the others have said just read all you can about it, and when your ready to take the plunge, follow the instructions word for word, and you shouldn't have any problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
In reply to you, as well as in general, to the OP...

Well, I paid off contract as well, waited before rooting, not because I was scared of "bricking" my phone or because I didn't "trust these people" because it might "be a virus," I wanted to get familiar with how the phone operates in an unmodified state -- to get a baseline.

Really, it's not that big of a deal to root. You aren't going to brick your phone. The only true bricks (will not even power up) that I've heard of happened with some people who ran a certain function within a certain version of clockwork recovery that had a bad bug.

Everything else is a "soft brick," meaning it looks scary, but it's actually fixable.

Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
True. I completely agree. When I root I'm gonna do it right.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, for sure.

When you do finally root, you'll ask yourself why you didn't do it sooner. ;)

[HTC Inspire 4G] maestroburbuja:
I think people should see what the stock ROM experience is like for about a month or so before rooting and flashing another ROM, especially if this is your first Android phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
I'm running CM 7.0.3, and I'm having massive proximity sensor issues, t the point where the phone is becoming unusable. If I'm in a call and I don't manually shut the screen off, the following happens (constantly):

I'll feel some haptic feedback on my ear, and my voice will mute. When I look at the screen, the lock screen is up and when I unlock it, it's at the dialer screen. I'm not hitting the mute or hold button with my ear, it seems like once it gets away from the call screen, my voice is muted.

Needless to say, this is getting massively annoying. Later tonight I'm going to try to see if using a Sense based rom fixes this, but I'd much rather stick with CM. Has anyone else experienced this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
I believe there is another post on this.. you can also Google search for inspire proximity sensor adjustment - someone created an app to adjust the sensor
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
The thread in question:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062561

EDIT: I haven't used the proximity sensor adjustment application that's linked in the thread as mine is working normally. If it doesn't work there's a possibility the sensor's faulty and should be replaced (I recently went through this whole thing with my old iphone 4).
[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
Yeah, to be honest, I tried that app and it didn't seem to make much difference. I'll try calling HTC
[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
Flashed to a sense based ROM, and the sensor seems to be working fine. Very odd, to be honest. I will say that after using AOSP for so long, I have no idea how you guys deal with Sense at all.

Well, now I have to decide: I can live with Sense, or I can ship my phone back to HTC and be without a device for 2 weeks. Going to try out the proximity sensor app again, but it didn't seem like any setting made a difference, but it could be that I just don't know what I'm doing with it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nightborne:
Check under Settings>Call Settings and put a check mark in the "Always use proximity" box. It says it's to help with prox. sensor screen locking when the phone is horizontal, but the CM7-based ROM that I was using showed the same issues and I fixed my particular issue by checking that box.

Tested with a few calls and the screen is definitely shutting off when the phone is standing or lying down.
[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
I read up on the proximity app, and I think I have it calibrated properly at 5/6. It certainly helps, but it's definitely not perfect. Night, thanks for the advice, but yeah, that option has been checked from the start. At least the issue is tolerable now, before it would do this 10 times per call.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nightborne:
Funny - mine was calibrated at 10/11 by default and works pretty well. Try going up to those values. I used a local time/temperature number here, and it worked well when my finger got 1/8" or so from the phone. While I admittedly haven't measured the depth of my ear or anything, it does seem to be working well at those settings.

I think the upper threshold is where you may want to adjust. From my playing with that app, changing the lower threshold too high will make it ignore things too close to the phone and so will an upper threshold that is too low. Try lower 5, upper 11 and see what happens. Anything between lower and upper apparently triggers the sensor. (<<< speculation without documentation)

[EVO Shift 4G General] Caromsoft:
My girlfriend's Shift began overheating at a wedding not long ago. Was able to track it down to K9 Mail, which was stuck constantly polling the 3G connection. Even a reboot would only stop it for a while. Uninstalled and reinstalled K9 and all was well after that.

Same thing happened to me once when I tried the Pulse app I think. I was looking for a different RSS reader. It got stuck updating or something. I was sitting at work and my phone felt very hot.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
As we know black notification bar of Gingerbread makes the led bleeding more noticeable in the corners. I for one don't notice it often but it IS still there in the left hand corner. The right side has minimal bleeding but it is hidden by the time display.

A solution to the left side bleeding is to download an app called Bar Control. It allows you to put any app of your choice into the left corner of the notification bar. The contrast from the icon(s) you place in that corner make the bleeding pretty much invisible. I find that I only need to place one icon to hide the issue but some may need 2 or more depending on how bad their's is. Worked out for me. I can look directly into the left corner and not see any leeding so I figure I'd share my experience. Hope this helps someone enjoy their phone a little more.

I'd like to learn how to theme for those like me who were a fan of the vanilla notification bar.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Raudi119:
Appreciate the tip. Will give it a shot when I finally get a chance to flash CM7 as I have backlight bleed slightly in the left hand corner as well, though very minimal in the right hand corner.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Yea but whats worse, a barely visible bleed or a bright annoying icon?

Actually a great fix is one that is in EaglesBlood, where the top bar is 2-tone sort of like the Sense themes. The top tone destroys any visible signs of a backlight bleed and doesn't have a horrible icon just chilling there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Well the icons don't bother me and its actually nice having the app u chose in the bar.
