Thank you so much! I am already onto it!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Did you ever get it working? I also found Dr. Honk's public git here:

https://github.com/drhonk/android_device_samsung_sgs4g

You can see the source for the Bali kernel here:

https://github.com/drhonk/Bali-V4G

Tell me how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] androcton:
FBis251,

Thanks for the resources! Currently I am still trying to get my dev-env setup properly, somehow have some installation/setup issues with the GNU/LINUX ARM toolchain. Meanwhile, I could build the kernel from the android base from source.android.com.

I have the system.img and other files in the out directory. The build went through but with lot of warnings. Here is the buildlog. Please let me know if something is amiss. Thanks!

Assuming the build went fine, I am not quite sure how to load that onto the device. I am trying to run an emulator though....will get back on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Have you tried looking at:

http://source.android.com/source/building.html

Apparently you can just flash the image you just made... Try to see if you can open the .img as a .tar...?

I'm having trouble compling the bali kernel... I'll try again tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] androcton:
Hi FBis251,

Can you please tell me how did you go about setting up the dev-env(the cross compiling toolchains). Are you using linux( which flavor, I am using Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal). I have some problems setting up the toolchains...as mentioned in the below link

https://opensource.samsung.com/recep...rchValue=t959v

Any ideas??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
The readme from the opensource site says:

HOW TO BUILD KERNEL

1. Visit http://www.codesourcery.com/, download and install Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-68 toolchain for ARM EABI.

2. Extract kernel source and move into the top directory.

3. Execute 'make vibrantplus_rev00_defconfig'.

4. Execute 'make' or 'make -j<n>' where '<n>' is the number of multiple jobs to be invoked simultaneously.

I just googled thw 2009q3-68 version since I couldn't find it on the site after signing up and came across this:

http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1033

I actually haven't gotten the kernel to compile without errors yet, and I haven't tried building the platform source until later today. You'll have to modify the makefile, look for the variable called CrossCompile and set it to the main /bin folder from the CodeSourcery toolchain.

Should be something like

CROSS_COMPILE	?= /home/user/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-eabi-

I'll give you more details later, I'm still learning as I go too.

Also, something I came across to speed things up when you do the make, apparently if you have a quadcore processor, you can use make -j 8 (or just multiply however many cores you have by 2) and the compile should run as fast as possible.

Keep me posted.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] androcton:
I followed the procedure mentioned in that readme file, but with additional info from other site,,

I extracted the source code from samsung open source, and then used the toolchain from the android base and it looked like it built(lot of warnings), but i cant find zImage anywhere?Wondering what ever happened during the build,,,

command used: make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- zImage

Build abruptly end, no build logs anything, see file for build output.

Is there anything that I am missing?, Please help!

And, Don't you think the build log is unusually small for a kernel build?? :O
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] androcton:
Folks on the forum, any ideas, the open source code from samsung sure looks like it has built all the '.o's but abruptly stop without even a warning as to what is wrong? Please help. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] androcton:
Okay, I got the kernel to compile after getting rid of the

1. "error: 'SEGMENT_SIZE' undeclared" problem, I had to turn on the Make V=1 ( verbose mode) explicitly to get to this point.

2. Next the compilation stopped saying "make[3]: *** No rule to make target `net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ecn.o', needed by `net/ipv4/netfilter/built-in.o'."

I had to remove the netfilter support from the kernel. I REALLY did not know how to solve this problem. Now that I have built the zImage( really small compared to the zImage that gets posted around in the forum) I am now concentrating on how get netfilter back into the kernel, for it is an important module for anything to do with TCP/IP security n filtering.

Finally,

3. How do I package this to the phone as a complete bootable ROM? Please help! Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I had made a Titanium Backup of my apps only to find after I had flashed a new ROM /Wiped Data that all the backups are '0 kb' therefore nothing bloody backed up including app data, now I'm screwed, but I had a nandroid backup but was wondering If I was to be able to restore only 'Apps+Data' from the backup as in extract it individually.

EDIT: Can I restore apps from .androidsecure folder? I have a backup of 'ext' and extracted it but get error when doing so...

It might be a long-winded solution but can you not restore the nandroid and do the titanium backup again, then flash your new ROM?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsisbest:
So I just called sprint today because of a small issue in the top left corner where it looks like a layer of white is starting to grow. It almost looks like a poof of permanent smoke under the screen. It's more of an eye sore than anything else. They were finally like ok we'll replace the phone.. tell tech support you'd like an advanced replacment at no charge since you've only owned the phone under 8 months. I'm like sweet thank you! So i get to the next lady and she's pretty much a ***** and basically grilling me left and right.. did you drop it.. did you get water in it.. sounds like water in it blah blah.. I was like no no no.. I baby it .. it's in perfect condition the screen has not one scratch as I use an invisible shield. So finally I get them to do it but she's like "if we determine it was due to water damage your going to be billed full price".. I'm like whatever I know it's not water damage.. But I didn't like that the way she made it sound they could say it was water damage and there is nothing I could do about it. So I get off the phone and decide I'm going to unroot and get everything back to stock. During this process out of the blue in the bottom left the screen looks like part of the screen had started disappearing or flaking away.. In a way it does look like water damage or some wierd cracked looking pattern. I just updated and the brightness actually came back a little but I have it on high and it's still way dim.. You can also see some wierd pattern down the middle of the screen like ghosting on a tv. When it's on the desktop it looks just fine and you can't see it. It's only visible on white backgrounds. Also the functionality is fine touch screen wise. There is nothing physically wrong on the outside whatsoever.

I guess my main question is what do you think they will do or do you think they will try and claim it's water.. I swear it's not and have invisible shields on it full time and baby this thing like it was my newborn. Surprisingly though it runs awesome unrooted.. It's so smooth .. I'm even considering not rooting when I get my replacement.. Anyways, thanks for listening and thanks for any advice or possible words of encouragement. All I can guess is the display is going out and no clue as to how it could create a patter like this.. If I could screenshot i would but doesn't seem to be a non root program for screenshots..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cmdr001:
Hello.

I've recently updated the firmware on my i9000 to a 2.3.3 ROM; JVO, Talon kernel, ROMKitched cooked ROM, and there has been some situations that I wonder if they are meant like so.

1) Phone start up.

It's taking a fairly long while to start up the phone currently, like roughly 50 seconds in the Talon splash screen, then some 10 or 15 seconds more with the SGS logo. Is anyone else experiencing this? Possible reasons for it?

2) GPS acting up.

Now, it's pretty common for the SGS GPS' being reported as having issues but the situation I have here is a bit different. It used to worked normally well before I updated, now after the update for this ROM it seems that I'm having some issues while having ear phones connected. While it seems a rather odd coincidence, whenever I have the ear phones connected it seems that once the phone turns off and locks the screen the GPS shuts down entirely, and when unlocked even though the GPS eventually turns alive again the apps using the GPS don't really seem to resume functions.

3) Clock app alterations?

I noticed that on the default clock app when I use the alarm, currently it is only ringing the alarm for 1 minute. Can anyone tell me if this was always like this? Because I had the idea I had been using 2.2's alarm clock different and it didn't had this flaw.

In case this is some 2.3 "innovation", can anyone suggest a decent alarm clock alternative that doesn't screw up?

I leave it on standby with airplne mode off - being lazy

seems I'm getting a good solid two and half days before I need to plug in - the level of water on the live wallpaper is getting low...
[Acer Iconia A500] la tzeca:
Since it seems I'm the first getting this

(link should appear here, but since I'm a new user..)

search the terms

"New arrival-Multi-functional Thermo-Formed a500"

on aliexpress.com

or

"rooCASE Slim-Fit (Black) Folio Case a500"

on amazon

just want to let you know that:

- I'm satisfied

- Seems well built

- doesn't add excessive bulk (thickness)

- allows access to every port/slot and does not cover cameras/speakers

- I cannot evaluate the protection level it offers, (my A500 already dropped twice, obviously without case), but the corners that hold the tablet in place should help

I do not add pictures, because both links I provided already do the job. Anyway, if you need more details, let me know.

Me and my basic english will try to help.

Update: after two weeks of use, I can confirm the quality of this case.I've seen many posts here with different cases, but all of them, seems to add excessive thickness to the tablet. Up to you.
[Acer Iconia A500] dj898:
seems rather nice though price is tad expensive for what it is... ^^
[Acer Iconia A500] la tzeca:
Yes and no.

I live in Switzerland, and ~50$ shipping included (from aliexpress) is a "common price".

It costed me ~10$ less than the original Acer one.

As soon as it is avalable at amazon, will come in the US for ~30$.

Compared to the original Acer, that's a big deal!

Hey guys,

Just got my Arc, updated to 2.3.3 and rooted. But for some reason, my battery life is very bad. Charged to 100%, after 12 hours on standby, already down to 70%.

Had a HD2 before, with 12 hours of standby on the HD2, only used about 3-4% of battery. So is this normal for the Arc???

Also, when I installed Current Widget, it says "no data" for mA. Anybody able to get Current Widget to work on their Arc?

Thanks for the help!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snaai8:
Use the search button next time 'cause this question has been answered a billion times..

But the answer is no, you can't call with this tab (yet) because honeycomb doesn't support the phone functionality. The hardware is present in the tab but the software simply doesn't know how to utilize it. Maybe when our developers get the complete source code for honeycomb they can cook something up but for the time being we have to use a real mobile phone to call with.

Dunno about yours, but mine registers as 1580 mah through the system info app from the market.

I don't think that means anything. When I bought the 1800 mah ones from China, it read as 1580 before I manually changed it to 1800, when I stuck in the ChiChitec it was still at 1800, leftover from when I changed it. I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted to reset the battery meter.

first of all, im new here (0 knowledge :p)... after some readings, i found out theres another guy with PYRAMID PVT MFG RL.

i got a sensation with the same thing. its a working devices. everything works just find, but this device comes without android market and the htc sense is version 3.0 but i don see any sense ui nor activate it.

OK, i wanted to flash it, what does this PYRAMID PVT MFG RL means? does it means that i have a device similar with s-off and i can flash it directly? (sorry, im not trying anything to the phone cause its not my phone and i couldn't afford it if its damaged :( )

you should be able to go grab one of the shipped roms to get your sense working. It sounds like it is a FRU (field replacement unit) and has dev software on there

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] danieljm:
Hey guys,

I'm trying to stop my phone from using background data automatically before I turn on data (It costs alot per kb here).. I was wondering if you could offer me a hand. Note that I use Cyanogenmod (I'm not sure which version, I purchased it with this) I've installed TrafficInfo to monitor what's using data, and I've narrowed it down to just 2 apps left..

Calendar Sync Adaptor/Google Services Framework/Contacts Sync Adaptor

This is still using data frequently (2.8kb download/39kb upload since I booted 10mins ago) even though turned sync off. I've tried turning auto sync on and then unticking each option, and also I have tried turning auto sync just off.. neither seem to do the trick.

Maps [brut]

This one only uses 300bytes download/1.2kb upload when I turn the device on but I'd like to see it go anyway. I've installed a start up manager and removed maps from start up and it's still doing this.

So, any help with these 2 problems would be appreciated! Also I don't want to turn background data off because I still want to be able to use the market if I choose to

Cheers

That's odd, I am running MIUI Beta 7.1 (or something :P ) and the camera is probably one of the best I have used on any ROM. Perhaps flashing back to stock and then reflashing? Might be something left over from one of your old ROMs.
