I've had lookout since my MT3G because I don't think it was out when I had my g1 haha but its always better to be safe than sorry plus the device tracker (you could download "where's my Droid" from the market, you just have to text your phone with a keyword you set and it gives exact GPS locations. pretty useful :) )

[Defy Android Development] vjgrace:
Hello all,

I am in the process of trying to cook a lite Android ROM but updated to Android 2.3.4 using the kitchen by dsixda.

I want to be able to use any stock or cooked base and theoretically this kitchen should be able to do it...I am able to create a flashable ROM (even though the defy is not on the compatible list) however porting gives me errors when trying to flash or I hang on the M logo screen.

Any ideas? What kitchens are you developers using to cook your Android ROMs...I have a system.img from Android's website with generic Android 2.3.4 but am not being successful in updating stock or cooked base.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks so much for your time. :)
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
What is the output of this tool?

You can't overwrite the kernel with a custom one. This can result this bootloop. If you want to use own Kernels, you need to implement the 2nd init, like Quarx did with the cyanogenmod
[Defy Android Development] vjgrace:
Hello Sqoerk,

Thanks for your response...the result of the kitchen is a flashable zip file...during the build process it does update the script however I did not add in the 2nd init...this may be my error, I am not sure but am willing to try.

I have cooked multiple times for windows mobile and android has completely different syntax, so I am trying to get used to it. :)

Thanks again for your time.
[Defy Android Development] iaio72:
@vjgrace, i used the same kitchen, but are a lot problem, because defy have bootloader locked....this kitchen originally was born fot htc device/samsung nexus s/and for motorola droid.....and rest the device to be tested....

for defy's rom, dont use the boot.img file without to put the 2nd init in system, you can use based command line from updater-script into the meta-inf:

for example:

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
mount("MTD", "cache", "/cache");
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.version.sdk") == "8");
delete_recursive("/data/",
"/cache/");
delete_recursive("/system/app/",
"/system/framework/",
"/system/preinstall/");
delete("/system/media/bootanimation.zip");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0755, 0755, "/system/xbin");
set_perm(0, 2000, 0550, "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh");
unmount("/userdata");
unmount("/cache");
unmount("/system");

in other way you have to cooked for first time, (to understand very well, how work this kitchen,) only system/app and framework...

i hope that you understand me! ;)
[Defy Android Development] vjgrace:
Thanks so much iaio72,

That helps so much. I will continue to test it.

Thanks again. :)
[Defy Android Development] iaio72:
you welcome!

my advice....you take any file system.img from a backup/nandroid, you put it in the folder "original update " (cygwin / kitchen-folder), from the command prompt, type "./ menu" and started to work with a command (set up working folder from rom ), and go ahead with the other controls ... add busybox / superuser (if you need to install them,) deodex the rom .... etc...:)
[Defy Android Development] vjgrace:
Great,

That is exactly what I have been testing, I just have not included 2nd init until you and sqoerk mentioned it...it seems like a great kitchen things just need to be modified a bit for our Defy.

Thanks again :)
[Defy Android Development] iaio72:
when the kitchen start to work and create the working folder, you can put the bootmenu folder (2nd init) only if you want to add the boot.img in your rom!

otherwise you dont need to 2ndinit, you can add when the rom its cooked! :D
[Defy Android Development] vjgrace:
Thanks so much for all your help, I am anxious to see if these changes will give me a successful cook (with windows mobile there are multiple options for kitchens, android seems to have less options, if you know what I mean :) )

I didn't know that (about being able to add 2nd init not only before cooking if using boot.img but the option also after cooking if didn't use boot.img), couple options if I want to use boot.img, sweet. :cool:
[Defy Android Development] iaio72:
i tell you just one thing!

my first rom for nexus s cooked with this kitchen, at first reboot worked fine!!!

for motorola its all other discussion, problem its the same bootloader locked.....problem with the cook rom etc...

you can try also the command "porting rom" :D try it!

bye
[Defy Android Development] vjgrace:
I hear ya,

Yes, once again even after changes implemented (I have also used the porting command...experimental per kitchen) running into the same issue, oh well, I will continue to test.

Thanks again. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xurizaemon:
I'm using an IDEOS X5 from 2degrees NZ. I'm in Dunedin, so I need to enable roaming data access (my phone co offers data services via another network in my home town).

I have identical ADSL routers (Dynalink RTA1025WE) at home and work.

If I visit my work, wifi enables as expected, and disables when I leave; mobile data works from there.

When I go home, wifi enables as expected, but after I leave the house I cannot access mobile data unless I manually enable Wireless & Networks => Mobile networks => Data enabled

Why would this be? Is there some AP-specific setting I can clear to stop this behaviour?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] adamnz:
Are you still using the stock rom? have you disable the data usage reminder that pops up when the wifi disconnects?

Using any apps like juice defender?

Here is a guide to flashing ubuntu through nvflash onto a tegra 2 device:

Asus would dominate the tablet market with this due to the dock that makes it into a possible real pc now. Did asus give any indication on releasing tools for nvflash?

Otherwise that would be nothing for me, cause for multimedia Android is much better and I have a netbook.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digiguest:
When you really think about it.....Android IS a variant of linux.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
That's the same as saying OSX is a variant of Unix.

Android borrows the Linux kernel, but aside from that the user interface and feature set is completely different from the typical desktop environments like Gnome and KDE in other Linux distributions. If Android was actually able to provide anywhere close to the same capabilities as a desktop Linux distribution, people wouldn't be asking for a way to install Ubuntu instead. :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
"Linux" is the kernel, while Ubuntu, Android, Fedora is the distribution in full. But those are all powered by Linux... and btw OSX is Unix, since XNU (the kernel, funny enough it's open source) is certified as such.

Clearly if you cripple the potential of the platform with an interface and toolset suited for mobile use like Android or iOS, you lose some features and gain usability. A tradeoff most are happy with :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
The Linux kernel that actually makes it into the final builds of Android is not the same kernel that you would find in desktop and server distributions. Mainly, it is missing the X Window system and doesn't support all of the GNU libraries, and has tons of other Android-specific additions and architecture changes for the sake of security and interoperability with certain mobile device standards. You can't just throw together the Android-ified Linux kernel with any desktop environment of your choosing like you can with the actual Linux kernel that ships with Ubuntu and Fedora. Furthermore, the changes that Google does make to the kernel do not get included into the mainstream kernel, and that fork has existed for quite some time. That is why Android is Linux-based, and not actually a Linux distribution.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r2DoesInc:
ive had that page bookmarked since the week before i got my tab xD
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TheDeadCPU:
Linux is just the kernel. Ubuntu, fedora etc are distributions with everything else needed to make the OS work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhanford:
<pedantic>

Pretty sure the Linux kernel proper does not come with X-Windows or GNU libraries (although it does rely heavily on the GNU toolkit, hence GNU's insistence that it be called GNU/Linux - http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html)

</pedantic>
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Was that really necessary?

The point of this discussion is that Android is not Linux, does not include the vast majority of libraries found in standard Linux distributions, is thus incompatible with the vast majority of Linux applications, and is otherwise missing large portions of functionality. The fact that Android has some basis in Linux does not solve the problem of there being thousands of users out there that need to be able to do more than just basic word processing and web browsing on their mobile devices, but also want hardware that won't soon be neglected by developers.

Some people need VLC, Eclipse, GIMP, or various Oracle applications to get their work done. Telling people that Android has some similarity to Linux doesn't make those applications any easier to port, and would be pointless anyway if the same hardware can run Linux distros natively.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jazux:
you made it to he news ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brunes:
......

Your kernel has the GNU libraries in it? and X Windows? Must be pretty large...

Actually, it is.

Linux == The Kernel. Everything else is just the distribution. Honeycomb is basically a Linux distribution, just like Ubuntu, RedHat, and Gentoo are. It is just highly specialized. And if you think that because it doesn't have the GNU libraries makes it somehow not Linux, you are DEAD wrong. There are a plethora of devices and distributions that do not use the GNU libraries or toolchain.

Aside from this, the fact that you seem to continuously confuse the kernel with the distirbution indicates to me you aren't really qualified to discuss this topic, so I would stop arguing it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhanford:
Did you even go to the gnu link? Linux is the kernel. Android uses the Linux kernel. It's the tools on top of it that are missing (hence busybody)

a kernel goes into a rom

a rom is basically everything summed up into one

you can flash kernels separately into roms to improve your phones performance

development is just starting i recommend:

whitehawkx kd1 deodexed+root so you dont have to root

and then get CWM from krylons post

after that you are ready to flash drhonks Bali kernel which will

improve battery life and performance(get the UV kernel ;))

[Desire HD General] crypted:
I reset an Inspire 4G today because the user's Google Account address was changed. Before resetting, the contact's name would show up when called. After resetting, the contact's name will not show up. Every call is UNKNOWN even though the contact and phone number is listed in the Contacts.

All contacts are synced via Google Sync. All contacts exist just like before with the old Google Email address.

All that was done was a "Factory Reset" and a new Google mail.

Anyone have any idea on how to get a contact's name to display when they are calling again?
[Desire HD General] crypted:
I'm bumping this in hope for information.
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
By any chance maybe its your contact who changed a setting to block their number.

I have a friend who switches to private alot on her phone and forgets to change it back. In her case it simple setting in her blackberry
[Desire HD General] crypted:
Nah, no blocking enabled for any of the contacts. Yet it happens for all of them (at least 20 called and don't display anything but their phone number).
[Desire HD General] vious21:
I've actually always had a similar problem with my contact recognition. My problem isn't that serious though.

As far as mine goes, it simply cannot differentiate between my sister's and my dad's cell phone. I found a pretty simple fix for that. I'm not sure (at all) how this fixed it, but all I did was swap the primary number with some other one.

(In my case setting my dad's BB as his primary as opposed to his iPhone seemed to solve it).

bullet kernel
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
Or download an app by Tegrak in the market. It allows you to change how high the OC is to 2.0 ghz. I can only get 1.6 ghz to work for me. But don't set anything to boot until it is smooth and you WILL be messing with it for awhile to get it to work correctly. It's not for the faint of heart or inpatient. It only allows you to change the OC value of the top highest setting kernel has. For example the bullet kernel is 100,200,400,800,1000,1420. You can only manipulate the 1420 step. But it does allow you to undervolt on ANY kernel on any step, and for me that is where its true value is.
