[HTC Inspire 4G] htc-elsalv:
I have an Inspire 4g, rooted with CoreDroid v7, I would like to install the original FOOTPRINTS application that came with the Inspire, any idea how to do that and where I can get the application???

I live in El Salvador and for some reason the LOCATIONS application that comes with the rom, does not work here, at all. It does not recognize anything south of Mexico.

Please help me with this. I have tried looking for an answer to this but, I may be the only one with this situation. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much, that thread has been a door to many other things to learn... it's hard being new at all this deal of flashing roms, rooting phones, etc. Seems to me that many members don't remember how it felt when they first started.

Hello folks. First of all, I have to say that I do not own an Android phone, but

I might be getting a cheap one in the future for some tinkering. And I am simply curious.

So, I need to know some details about the mass-storage mode handling

and it would be cool if you guys could help me out.

Assuming I have rooted my device and created a file with dd or something

and I also set up a loop-device to correspond to this file (basically

a losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/bla).

Can I expose it into mass-storage mode, like the normal partition where your files lay in? I mean I know from other

smartphone operating systems that this is possible with some shellscripts

which they prepared for this stuff. Those shellscripts basically use the g_file_storage kernel module

for that.

Now I searched the web and found some hints that this could also be the case for android. However,

a friend of mine checked his modules and nope, it seams that it does not exist on his device. I think

it should not not differ from device to device, am I right?.

How is android taking your file partition and enabling it for the usb mass storage mode?

Are there scripts for that? Is it somehow done internally within binaries which use syscalls and stuff like that?

Or: What exactly happens when I plug in the usb cable to the phone and then choose the "enable" button?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steveeJ:
hey lawl0r,

i have come to the very same question since i want to try this on the galaxy nexus.

did you get any further with this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcleania:
Ok, here's the situation:

I have a ZT-180 10" tablet, the 256MB RAM 2G version, 1024x600.

I have flashed it a few times last year until I was OK with it in sept/oct, but now I'd like to go with Android 2.2

I've always used my Vista laptop to flash before, so I went to do it again but had to reload the drivers (not a huge deal), and then was able to start the flash.

I left it for a while because I read somewhere that it takes up to 10mins to finish the SPL update, but when I came back to it, it ended up booting up into the old firmware.

I figured it must have simply failed, so I tried it again, but again had to reinstall the drivers, but this time, when I tried to update the "Unknown Device" driver, I got this message when trying to choose the new one:

"the specified location does not contain information about your hardware"

I have since tried on three other computers, Vista and WinXP with the same result.

Now unfortunately I saw that there's some kind of issue with Vista SP2, which I have since checked, and yes, my laptop must have updated since the last time I've flashed.

Also, my firmware is not new enough to do the SD flashing, so I must get the USB method to work at least once.

The only fortunate thing about this it seems is that my tablet WILL fully boot and function on the old firmware, I am just not able to upgrade it.

I'd really like to get my tablet flashed, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. I have access to WinXP Pro&Home 32bit, Win Vista Home 32bit, Win Vista Home 64bit, Win 7 Pro 32bit, and Win 7 Home 64bit, as well as Ubuntu 10.10 32bit.

There is also a new version of the InfoTM Update Wrap tools - IUW Version 1.2. While the drivers may not have been updated you could attempt with this version and the included drivers.

Search for all instances of the two files listed below and remove before attempting to re-install again using the ones included in the archive of the updated utility attached in post #2 infoTMIC Hardware ID's "hwver" and updates (*.ius)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcleania:
Eureka! Long way around, but here's what I did.

I removed both those files on my XP SP3 32Bit laptop (old 1GHz Toshiba), and at first I was getting the same result, where I couldn't update the driver.

Then I tried the other USB port, and it actually installed correctly!

From there, I got the green light on BurnTool, however when I tried to flash, it gave me another error where "[0][get otg state 0x0]" was all I was getting, then it would boot (which is I think what happened to me originally).

I searched around to find out what that means, and people suggested another cord/USB port.

Tried a couple different cables I had, still getting the same, then I remembered that one of my gf's laptops was a 32bit Vista, so I verified and it was still SP1.

Download everything to it, configure the burntool, plug'er in and boot to flash mode, reinstalled the driver (worked!), got a green light, and when I initiated the flash, stuff actually came up on the ePad!

Unfortunately the flash apparently failed, so I tried again with only flashing the SPL and Boot, and that seemed to work, then I was able to do the rest via SD (no more USB drivers to deal with... yay).

Now my only issue is that I've tried about 5 different roms, and so far the only one that'll boot is from Jan. After flashing 0603, it was boot cycling, after 0324/0326 it just sat on the Android bootup screen, i think the 05 was the wrong screen resolution because I ended up with a bunch of funky colours.

01 at least boots into a usable UI at least, so I hope my experience may help someone else scratching their head. (it helps having access to like a dozen laptops at home)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcleania:
More good news.

It seems after 0120 installed correctly, now I'm able to get 0603 flashed properly.

Now the only hitch is that I can't seem to access my device on the Market website to remote install programs, but I can still access the Market on the tablet itself, so it's ok.

VTL Launcher is slick btw. I'm liking it, now I just havta do the battery upgrade.

I'm damn well sure that this has been talked about alot, but I think Android scrolling physics needs some tweaking. I used to not think its possible, then I saw the G2X. the way it handles scrolling, and the way every other non-LG device handles it is completely different.

LG got it right. They tweaked it. So, it clearly is possible. The key is figuring out what exactly they tweaked. If anyone would like to help me figure this out, that would be greatly appreciated.

7. New Devs are getting into it and a lot of "teams" are changing. New projects in the kitchen, new releases, new everything. Jump on the wagon and maybe possibly consider not cluttering up the DEVELOPMENT section with QUESTIONS.

8. Or at least come up with an interesting question if you can't find your way to Q&A

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebdor44:
Hi guys,

Couldn't find the answer to this anywhere but I noticed in the newer releases of busybox there's no 'zip' command anymore. I'm running busybox 1.19 on my Incredible.

I have been using this command to create different bootanimation.zip files from my phone but am wondering if there is an alternative command I can use from within Android. I've tried tar -cvzf but I believe tar archives/compresses the files differently and renaming the extensions to .zip does not work.

Any ideas besides using an actual PC to do what I want to do?

Thanks,

Zebdor
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmanx:
There are apps out there such as AndroZip, that essentially creates zip files.

If you are doing this for an app, there are built in zip classes in Java.

java.util.zip.*;

Edit: Just realized you asked for it to be command line. I will keep looking!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebdor44:
Yeah, I used to use 'zip -0r ...' to zip up a folder but for some reason the busyboxes I've tried downloading don't come with the zip command anymore...

I'm looking through the BusyBox source...

Does it have to be .zip? I mean there are plenty of others to choose from such as tar, gz, bz.

I can't find anything on the website why it is left out.

Best of luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebdor44:
I was thinking of using tar and gz but every tutorial I've read says Android requires the bootanimation to be in .zip format uncompressed. I even tried tarballing it as bootanimation.tar but it didn't work...

I have always been confused by members who complain about the official SE firmware and the SE devs being completely incompetent and slow, when all of the custom ROMs have insufficiencies of their own and the devs are considered Gods. Especially, when our devs haven't brought us any of the major implementations themselves, like fully functional camera, 60 fps cap, 16mil colors, or multitouch.

No offense to our devs, because they have limitations by bootloader, but the problem isn't just bootloader, it's having someone who can create all the drivers, which was the case before bypass.

What is important to you? Fully functional or speed? Which bugs are major? A little lag on timescape or rebooting, or a touchscreen that freezes or becomes partially unresponsive?

Jokes aside, remember that SE gave up on x10 updates before going back on their decision and giving us gingerbread. And honestly, only the 2.3 custom roms don't have fully working cameras, Froyo is pretty much complete and has been my daily rom for many months now, i can't thank SE for that.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:

There are ZERO 2.2+ ROMS that are fully functional. PERIOD.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:

Is 60 fps cap, 16mil colors, or multitouch a big deal? Not Really. It doesn't make our phones more usefull.

I know what your going to say to me, your thinking I'm jumping down your throat etc but you've answered your own question there. Repair with seus then root and optimise with flashtool. That way your phone will be fully functional and fast with the benefits from JIT etc. Hope this helps out :-)

Edit,

Why not try out ericks 2.1 rom which is extremely fast, like gingerbread speeds and literally everything works. Want teether then grab barnacle for free off the market. This rom has been my daily for perhaps a week or two at a guess but you won't be disappointed with broken features etc. Trust me really worth a shot trying it out

Absolutely not, this is about the differences between firmware and custom ROMs. We already know the differences. I just wanted to know who is a bigger majority...fully functional vs custom ROMs.

Edit

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pngface:
The reason Erick's rom is so speedy is that many features(which most people do not use) are disabled. Once you add them on again, the speed is comparable to stock firmware. I would say that is the closest 'custom rom' to being fully functional.

All the 2.2+ roms, while very nice and speedy, often have things that don't work.. like camera, and all of them suffer from poor battery life. A big gripe for me is the wifi disconnect issue with all 2.2 and above custom roms. I find it hard to believe that most people would prefer speed over functionality.

I've tried most of the roms out there in my year with the x10, and I always found myself coming back to stock.

And now with the arc, I don't have a choice :p There are no custom roms for bootloader locked arcs
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:
I dunno man, iv been running it in a few different versions over last couple of weeks and if you apply all extras like me id still say much faster than stock.

Hmm interesting.. I tried it a while back.. around March.. and I had to basically install all the extras to get things like gmail, youtube, face recognition(yeah.. I know) etc working. Perhaps it has improved now

I tried the latest one again last week, but it didn't support logcat for some reason so I had to go back to stock (my x10 is now used mainly for debugging my apps :p)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:
Well face recognition is built in not optional extra, and yes many of these 'optional' things are removed purely for the sake of performance BUT everything does work, minus the exception of logcat and reboot into recovery through xperia reboot options. Only 2 bugs.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
I have to fully agree with pngface. I am running a 2.1 Rom which is "to me", fully functional. Aside from the custom kernel I am running on go3asy's Rom. I couldn't stand stock and need full functionality of the camera with enhancements so a 2.1 Rom was in my sights. This is my opinion.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
The whole point of this thread was to shut up idiots like you...custom roms are not "better" because they are faster. They are not functional. PERIOD. PERIOD. PERIOD. PERIOD. PERIOD. PERIO

There is still Not ONE custom rom that is better than stock functionally.

There is not a custom ROM that has everything. Custom ROM sucks compared to developer.
