[General Questions and Answers] Kelesh-san:
Hello. First of all i am sorry if my questions are answered somewhere in this forum, but i have read a lot of threads and your wiki page, but i am still pretty much confused.

I'm trying to explain to myself the boot process of an Android device and the most important thing i want to ask is: are all these so called "roms" (the OS rom, the ExtROM, radio/gsm rom) on the read only memory (ROM) of the phone?

I know that the boot rom is hardwired in the CPU of the phone and when the phone is turned on this hardwired boot rom points to the first stage of the boot loader (which is a program like grub or syslinux?).

I'm going to buy a HTC Wildfire probably from Vodafone UK and as far as i know it's gonna be with their own version of Android. So i assume that the phone will be CID locked and SIM locked. Can i flash the phone using RUU WWE rom from shipped-roms.com ( is this a trusted site? ) without trying to CID unlock it? I haven't read much about CID unlocking so forgive me.

If i flash it with new RUU WWE froyo + radio rom from the web site mentioned will i have to SIM unlock it after?

If i make my phone s-off and then flash it with shipped rom which updates the radio as well will it become s-on again since i've read somewhere that the security modules like this s-on/off reside in the radio rom?

Will i need Gold Card and what is it for?

Hey buddy,

I've enabled the Old TV like animation on XXKP9. It was disabled by default, for development purpose i thought.

here's the sample video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76XAZE6iV08

and here's the file:

View attachment 644244

remember:

-do what you wanna do, i'm not responsible for anything happen because of this file.

-Only for XXKP9

-Root first

-it was tested by me
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] intergen:
nice dude

i like it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Can you post the edited file (Source)

because i have already edited the framework file so i cant replace it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nurseto:
i just pull framework-res.apk and extract it,

edit bool.xml in framework-res\res\values\bool.xml

and change value config_animateScreenLights to false

and compile again

that's it bro
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
I cant find a file like that in framework-res.apk !!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
Cool.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nurseto:
you must extract it using apk manager

and you will find many files extracted into folder

if you are using XXKP9, then just use my file, i've do it for you bro :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
I hav extracted the framework-res.apk file

i can see many files in that

but i cant find the file you have specified

tell me the correct location

i cant use your file because i have ported the overscroll effect to my phone by editing both framework.jar & framework-res.apk
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
awesome ..great job dude..been waiting for this 4 so long..!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala242:
nice work dude
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala242:
nice work dude,but our framework size around 8mb but this one only 5?wat u did?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nurseto:
you are using apk manager aren't you?

when extracting done, in your apk manager folder, you will find a folder named projects. in this projects folder you will find framework-res\res\values\bool.xml
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nurseto:
yes i noticed that too

don't know why because i only edit one file

maybe apk manager (which compiling files into .apk) is the cause.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Its Working Fine
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nurseto:
i think framework.jar and framework-res.apk are independent

i've use vivek file and my file, it can work together

you can use vivek mod and my mod together, without interrupting each other

If this can be ported for the XXKB3, You sir are my hero. I want this so damned bad! GB is so dry! No themes makes it horrible to use :\ I hope in the future devs that Samsung will add the option to apply your own themes flawlessly and an option to select specific features. [CRT, Overglow]

Lets just hope they don't turn into royal jackasses and remove it in the next release.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dfree71:
I have a local wireless internet company and I am wondering if there is any way to develop a "driver" that would allow me to use a usb ethernet adapter with an Acer Iconia A500 tablet running Andriod Honeycomb.

I know that it has wifi and cellular connectivity, but for my techs in the field, doing installations, this would be a great tool. We are currently using netbooks running windows 7 lite, but a tablet would be much easier to tote around and faster on loading etc.

Does anyone have any idea if this is possible? I know the Iconia A500 has a full size usb port, but I also know that nothing will work without the right driver installed. All we need to be able to do, is open a browser window and input in our ip addresses so we can gain access to the motorola and ubiquity radios that we are trying to provision in the field.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkdragone:
not sure if it works with honeycomb, but on ICS I have used a usb ethernet adapter with the tablet, mind you that some applications dont work with it, but the browser and market place do. What you'll need to do first is have your tablet rooted, then download either android terminal emulator or Gscript lite (with gscript lite you can save the script for use again.) In the terminal you will want to run netcfg, this will show you all of your interfaces and will tell you if your usb to ethernet adapter is detected. If it is detected there will be an interface called usb and then a number aka usb0 or possibly even eth0. next you will want to take that interface and make sure it is up by running ifconfig usb0 up. next you'll need an ip address, if yours is assigned dynamically then run dhcpcd usb0 then setprop dns1 8.8.8.8 (or use whatever DNS server you wish). Now if you need a static address, such as 192.168.0.2 or something you would run ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.2. Also all of these commands will need root so make sure you type in su beforehand.
[Galaxy S II General] vijith555:
One of my friend's Galaxy S2 started doing something weird after the second day of using it. Whenever we have the wired headset (samsung provided) connected to the phone and we initiate a call from the phone, the phone's speakerphone function gets turned on automatically and all the conversation sound comes through the phone's speaker instead of the headset..which is not right at all. This happens even if we try doing voice dialling. How does it do this and is there a way to stop this?
[Galaxy S II General] gnan10:
see the inserion pattern of headset....may be its plug not inserted completely......

same problem i have faced when i bought it.....then i inserted fully....its fixed now...

may be urs will i hope...:):):):):)
[Galaxy S II General] vijith555:
well that was the first thing i checked because i know with these samsungs you gotta force that headset jack quite hard in to the click..its definitely not that..its clicked in..but the problem still exists unfortunately..and this friend of mine is going nuts over it because its all good on my galaxy s2

Nothing has been ruined, instead of clicking on the link in the thread that would be posted here, which would take you to his forum, where you would click through another 6 different sub-forums, then find the thread just to get the download link.

Now all you do is just go to his site, instead of clicking on the link that would be in the thread here. He didn't stop developing the rom, he just stopped posting the change log here... OH NO WHAT WILL WEZ DOZ NOW?!?!?

He left, it's done and over with, how about people grow up and stop acting like it's the end of the world. If he had just said "I'm only going to post on my site because I choose to do so" everyone would be calling him an ass. But because someone "made him leave :rolleyes:" everyone wants to flame someone who expressed an opinion...
[Thunderbolt General] pokedroid:
Dude, stfu. No one in this thread acted like it was the end of the world. Quit acting like a douche.
[Thunderbolt General] teamgreen02:
To be fair, it never said on the OP that the ROM would fully wipe, only that it was recommended, that's a big difference. Chingy and the people involved are all immature.

I was trying to decide which ROM to run, BAMF 3.0 or Gingeritis 3D, but Chingy decided for me.
[Thunderbolt General] knr117:
Some may agree some may not but the net is no place for thin skin. It takes little effort to be a keyboard Rambo. In my profession hate is everywhere and when the net was young and AOL 2600 was fast I to was there and little if anything has changed. Many forum have a ban or ignore button to remove users from a thread. I very often use it. (Don't know if xda does or not never needed to look). Many also have mods that stay on top of the threads and remove rif-RAF at will but even then people get upset and argue freespeech. Maybe this dev left cause he was tired of needing to police his thread or maybe other behind the black veil **** was going on and this event was just the last straw for him. But being a old fart Ive hard believing 1 troll ran him him off if in fact it was a normal 'poor me' blah-blah troll. Wipe or no wipe to be fair I've not seen 1 roms listed with out a disclaimer stating that said owner is responsible for said actions of owners phone and I know for fact this dev roms thread stated the same. The fact we all have to be thick skined doesn't mean that anyone has the right to flame and talk **** at will. Also I personally feel the disclaimer works both ways. This means to me that a dev or company or any entity which produces a product must accept that not all are going to always love said product and after all if a hot tub manufacturer must display a warning that if entered you may drown then why should a dev her at xda think that said downloaders are any smarter? No one that gets in a hot tub is that dumb that includes parents allowing kids around said tub unattended. The fact is if any of us produce or even give away anything then we accept that someone is gonna ***** about. If we can't handle that then we do need to take our product else where. However if any person finds this unknown land if milk and honey where all is good and as efficient as Al Gores Jock strap then please post said location here and count me in. Hell I'll even pay to move in.

For any noob that made it this far threw this post of diatribe and potential net manners that don't exist anywhere then your a brave soul so read this slowly. You are responsible for your phone and what you install. Wipe everytime even if not told to do so. If a problem does happen then post and ask for help. But know that someone may flame yer ass when you do. Is it right? No. But it may happen. After all what can said flamed do to you? Nothing really. However if you do allow said flamer to contaminate your pixels with meaningless bits of useless data and thus cause you to respond (much Luke this very post) then the said flamer has in fact won. Many here loved this devs work and while xda didn't make the dev it did help make the dev known and by default his work this means we all owe xda not the other way around. POSTING ones work here is not a right but a privilage leaving xda does hurt us all but it may just may hurt the dev just a wee bit more because of the message it sends to others. Then again maybe I myself am out of line for this view. I'm sure if I am then I'll be told so PDQ.

Peace...

cool story bro
[Thunderbolt General] xXJay_RXx:

[Thunderbolt General] xEVILFREDx:
Read it carefully. Your another one who did not read it. He stated it on a change log one of the version.
[Thunderbolt General] teamgreen02:
Regardless, that was what the arguement consisted of. Not many people in that thread showed much class.
[Thunderbolt General] C-Deff:
Chingy made an awesome rom. To bad some a-hole had to piss him off. He's had some bomb ass roms and radio leaks. He will be missed on the XDA for sure.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
so its ok for a dev to be an a-hole because he makes cool roms???

Not saying that was the situation here, but its happened before.
[Thunderbolt General] C-Deff:
No doubt, I've only read that a user flashed a rom and got upset because he didn't fully relize/understand the ramifications of the new flash. Chingy didn't seem like an a-hole or diva to me but i didn't investigate his background too much. I just think it sucks to loose a good Dev regardless.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Was I the only one that read every page of every HTC ROM thread he had on XDA? Again and again Chingy would post something in th OP or change log and there was always some group of dumbasses that would flat out ignore it. The guy has more patience than I do. Everything from mirroring his links to *****ing about a mod or a language or feature of the flash script or something not working right, some folks have been abject assholes as if they have a right or something. It's like some folks completely lose perspective of the relationship here. Dev=dude giving you something for free that many would pay for because he's just cool like that. ROM flasher=SHOULD BE grateful recipient of Dev's hard work and politely praise and constructively criticise the work in a friendly manner.

People that fail to think and merely act on impulse with some mentality of entitlement are exactly the kind of people that deserve to lose every bit of data on their phone or brick the thing. Chingy has been dealing with industrial strength stupid from a segment of folks who have no business with rooted phones for about 2 years now. Anyone who with the mental failings required to defend some dolt who went off one a dev for neglecting to apply the skill of reading is, himself, a dolt. An idiot's gripe shares no parity with a dev who's done his fair share of educating. Do I personally believe Chingy cranks out immaculate ROMs? No. I don't think any dev does. And this bull**** about "I went with *****'s ROM because....". I guessed I missed the ROM contest thread to see who's winning. I use a ROM because I like it for what I use my phone for, not to jack a dev off. Like Einstein said, the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits...

[Thunderbolt General] ProTekk:
#1 rule in custom ROMs and modifying any software/device: ALWAYS make a backup.

With that said, being a part time dev myself, I have received my share of hate, publicly ans privately, for my work and how I go about doing it. The only solid truth here is that we do this work for free. Sure, we ask for donations maybe but that's only if you truly like our work and are satisfied with it and appreciate our time and effort. For everyone using any software/ROM that is built by a community member, if you don't like the way it works then move on. Unless it's a beneficial suggestion that will help the mass, we don't care or want to hear it. We do it our way because, wait for it, it's OUR own work. Not yours, not HTC's and not big red's.

It's sad to see yet another developer leave the father forum of the phone modification scene but I see this becoming more and more commonplace here at XDA. It's not a thin skin/thick skin debate or ideology, it's purely based on how appreciated we feel and if it's paying off to dedicate hours to days on a free project.

I support Chingy 110% on his move and completely and utterly disagree with anyone who has anything negative to say about him and his choice to leave. You want to talk about "manning up?" Save it child. You're no better than the people who drove him off.

Just my thoughts and feelings on this situation. Let it be done and over with and take it as a lesson for all to comprehend. We have way too many kids on here feeling like they are owed these ROMs. That's a false assumption. If you want your device your way, start diving into the work. Learn the coding languages. Write your first app. Just do it to get an understanding of the true time, effort and dedication that goes into this work and you'll have a greater appreciation for each and every developer, big or small. Until then, you'll be blind to these facts and come out of the cloud and dust looking like the biggest ass.
[Thunderbolt General] datbizzyb:
Im glad someone is sticking up for someone who "read" the fact about wiping his device, and *****ed at a developer for it doing so..

[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
You have it all wrong little troll, I personally don't care about either person. The idiot who really got mad because a rom wiped, or the dev who got butthurt so quickly from words said on the internet. :cool:
[Thunderbolt General] ddarvish:
i was for sure someone who got pissed at him when i flashed gingeritus 3d 1.0 and it wiped my phone. the download link and the change log in the forum at the time I downloaded the rom DID NOT include it wipes the whole phone and i straight told him that i thought what he did was stupid. My friends do stupid **** all the time and i call them out on it. it doesnt make me like them any less or appreciate what they do for me any less. I have never installed a custom rom and had it wipe my phone. it should be up to the user if the phone should be wiped. and if anything there should be a BIG ASSS warning sign before it goes ahead and wipes the phone . if anything this shows how immature he was. when he drops a pair and can handle the good and bad that comes with being a dev ill use his roms again. and like someone else said earlier if u want his roms just go directly to his site themikmik.com. the links on xda would just take you there anyway.
[Thunderbolt General] ProTekk:
You're a complete idiot and it is stupid ass kiddies like you, that push all of us away. How about making a backup before assuming that everything will work as intended? How would it work if you wanted to install Windows 7 from Windows XP? Would you expect a seamless transfer and to have a brand ****ing new OS without taking any backups or securing your important data? Shove off, sit on your thumb and rotate. Read my last post for clarification.

Everyone else, I understand the frustration some may feel loosing Chingy and his wonderful work.

But I don't think he will come back to XDA. Some care, some may not. But we all need to be respectful here. Calling people names will not change anything but more flaming. So please. I would assume 90% of everyone here are grown adults. So please act your age. If you got nothing good to say, please keep it to your self.
[Thunderbolt General] ddarvish:
yes i am complete idiot. first off i did make a backup, i dont know why you assume i didnt. that STILL doesnt make it okay for him to wipe the phone. If i upgraded my computer from one OS to another and the upgrade got botched id still have a 99.99% chance of recovering the data on the drive before i reformatted which wasnt the case here. i have been a big supporter of you Protekk and have thanked you countless times. i have never used foul language and when i ranted @ chingy i also was not an ass about but simply told him how pissed off i was. but now that you wanna become all catty and *****y you can sit on a bat and rotate. total **** response from you and i have lost all respect for you.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
if everybody is gonna argue and take sides.. at least have your facts straight. It was never about "not having a backup".. or that dude *****ing about losing all of his stuff forever.

It was about having to go thru the pain of restoring everything over every update.
[Thunderbolt General] Zepius:
considering the full wipe was listed in the changelog/main post and i even double checked and made sure in thread itself.... then yes, you are an idiot.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
Dejavu?
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
You just don't get it, do you? The devs develop for themselves first & foremost. If they want something to work a certain way, they make it work that way. It's chingy's rom, so he can make it do whatever he damn well pleases. If he wants it to wipe, he can make it wipe once, three times, or a thousand times. It doesn't matter what you want. If you don't like what it will do to your phone, then DON'T USE IT. Plain & simple.

As far as dev support, you can thank someone as many times as you like. You can even donate if you wish. But that doesn't give you any privileges or entitlements above anyone else in this forum, so stop expecting to be treated like a spoiled child. The devs aren't here to cater to your every whim.

btw, nobody cares if you've lost respect for Protekk, or anyone else for that matter

why are the chingy supporters ignoring the fact that Chingy was the one who over-reacted by mouthing off over something very trivial and impersonal? even then no body asked him to leave.. the issue would have been dead after a couple of pages.

If 4 posts by 3 users can make someone leave a community.. then really where does the problem lie?
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
Well I personally think it was building up for a while, no question deving requires thick skin. I wouldn't call myself a Chingy supporter having only flashed a couple of roms, Chingy flew off the deep end but the guy who pushed him over the edge was an as......

Personally it seems like such a small matter yet it garnered so much attention spanning like 4 threads. Like sands through the hour glass...
