Tried this on CM 7

First off, thanks!

I tried this on CM 7 nightly (nexus one) and here is what I found:

- Most importantly, it broke root access to other apps on the phone. Not sure if this is due to not being able to update init.rc, may try to sort this out later.

- The goal of the install is to be able to run an SSH server and in addition to that you will have access to optware.

- The default busybox that is included with CM7 does not include adduser, addgroup or passwd applets which will cause things to fail once the install script tries to add a new user. Also, there is an app called "busybox installer" on the market that *will* update busybox, however it depends on libraries that CM7 does not include by default. The result is none of the busybox applets can reach the internet due to not being able to resolve domain names.

If you open the optware-bootstrap-0.0.1.shar file with 7zip, you will see there is a busybox executable included. It's an older version, however it includes what you need. I copied that version to /system/xbin and I was able to use the aforementioned applets

- At the end of my install I received an error that it was unable to edit the ram disk while trying to update init.rc. I think the solution is to add a script to /system/etc/init.d/ . Still working that out.

- I'm probably going to try combining this method with this one: http://android.modaco.com/topic/312...cripts-installing-bash-dropbear-mc-nano-opkg/ Since this is more of a manual method, however it's connecting to a custom optware feed that only has a few packages.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Chubby_Skunk:
I love the Galaxy Tab 10.1 but the Eee Pad is $100 cheaper. Plus its easier to transfer files from my PC and it has a micro SD slot.

So should I get the Eee Pad instead of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or should I wait for the ASUS Tegra 3 Tablet?

Also is the Eee Pad's construction solid? and is it a reliable tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dude2k5:
The build is fine, its a solid piece. Some people had problems, but I think that was the older b4 serial models. The b6 are better, but some issues still occur. Just return it and get a new one if so. The Galaxy is very nice and light. It's very similar to the ipad 2. It's pretty smooth and people seem to like the build quality. However with the Transformer, it's more like a netbook. It has almost all the functions, and if not, you can find a solution. The Galaxy has no slots or extras. You have to buy them separate. The keyboard dock is alright, and it doesnt have a trackpad. While with the Transformer you have Hdmi, MicroSD, SD, and 2 usb ports. It last 16 hours with the dock attached. Alone it can last 8 hours. They have attachments coming out, like usb, so you dont need the dock. But the dock is really nice to type and use the mouse with. Remote RDP supports the right click function of the trackpad. Streaming works well with spalshtop. All in all, the Galaxy is smooth, pretty, but lacks functionality unless you buy the attachments. The Transformer is the first concept of the tab dock, so it will have some issues. But it's such a cool thing to use, and when you undock it in front of people, they go, WHAT? What just happened?? Haha
[Eee Pad Transformer General] decepticon:
The lack of an SD card killed the Tab for me. The Transformer is a much more versatile device with the inclusion of the laptop dock which nearly doubles battery life as well.

I see the Tab the same way I see the iPad, paying for the brand and sacrificing features.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
I'm in the same boat. I have a new White 16gb iPad2 3G I'm trying to sell and deciding. I have someone wanting to trade his Transformer + Keyboard dock with the iPad2.

Tough call. MicroSD slot and HDMI out plus extra battery dock and keyboard... or the SGT10.1

I think the Transformer is the better choice in the long run. It isn't as thin, but it is cheaper and has more bang for your buck. I've owned Asus EeePC's before and very impressed by the updates and quality.

AT has a 5MP camera that is better but lacks flash like on the Tabs 3MP + Flash.

My thinking is that I'd probably never use the HDMI out. I have it on my LG G2x and use it, but I would use my phone, not my Tablet. MicroSD card slot is awesome. It would be hard to part without that.

I think I'm going to do the trade for the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digiguest:
If you wait.....you will NEVER get a tablet because a newer or better one will ALWAYS be on the Horizon. Get what you want NOW and ENJOY IT. ;)

That said....the lack of expansion on the Galaxy Tab 10.1x killed it for more. No expansion....NO DEAL. If I wanted a Tablet with no expansion I would have gone iPad.

No I like my Transformer ( Eee Pad sounds so retarded IMHO ) very much and would not trade it for the inferior Tablets.

Another good option is the Acer Iconia A500 if you want to look at it....but it does not have the awesome dock that the Transformer has ( if you buy it. )
[Eee Pad Transformer General] decepticon:
Just to throw in there, the new Toshiba is pretty sweet too and it's in the same price range as the Transformer and Iconia.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Chubby_Skunk:
So Im leaning towards the Eee Pad now. So ASUS has been doing good so far in their updates?

And with the most recent model the problem with the Eee Pad failing has been fixed?

I just came back from a friends house and he just got the sgs 2... He managed to get about 36 hours the battery went down to about 30... I just checked his batteryinfo. That makes me wonder if there's hardware problem with some phones. Mine lasts about 7 hours and i have to charge it at least twice a day. Just writing This post i lost about 9percent (running villain 1.4).

Is there a way to find out if there's a hardware issue with my phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
swap phones with your buddy and reset them back to stock and then set them up as if they were your own and use for a couple of days. perfect way to test

Has anyone worked out how to save an attachment from the Gmail app without a third party app.

I can only preview attachments
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
Get K9 Mail.
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
I don't want to use a third party app though

I can't believe Google would create an email app and not think that people might want to save attached files.

Edit

Looks like Gmail doesn't support mp3 attachments
[LG Optimus 2x] remczar69:
I don't think there is the option to save the attachment, but what I do, I log in to my Gmail account from Web Browser on my phone and then you can save all the attachments.

I know this is not a solution you were looking for, but it's also easier than using a 3rd party app.
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
Cheers

Will do that until Google sort this out
[LG Optimus 2x] mattes2x:
Hi,

I use GSaver to save my attachments. Search for it in the market. when you choose preview from the gmail app choose gsaver to "open" it and it will prompt you for a location.

Cheers,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crocodilek:
Hi,

My question is simple but I still cannot in Development forum, in CF-Root thread so I'm asking here... I have installed XWJSD on my SGS (GT_I9000_XWJSD_XXJPY_OXXJS6_Sbl.exe from Ramad's topic) and just recently found out it's crucial to backup the /efs directory.

I was lucky to do a couple of flashes without braking it, but I wouldn't want to push my luck any further. To do the backup I need to root my phone and CF-Root seems to be the easiest and safest option. Unfortunatelly I'm not sure which file to choose... Is CF-Root-XW_NEE_JS8-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.zip going to be fine? It's for JS8 not JSD and I'm not sure what XW_NEE stands for (my Product Code is XEO).

If not CF-Root maybe someone can suggest another solution?

I also have another question (for the ease of my mind) - Can the /efs be damaged by flashing a kernel (like CF-Root) with Odin?

Best regards,

Crocodil

Hello All!

I am on the HK GB Firmware, Rooted & unlocked...

When I try to flash a file on my Atrix through recovery, I get the following message...

"Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the Clockwork Mod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to edify scripting (Updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Does any one here have any tips as to how I can fix this issue? I'd like to install some stuff via recovery, but this is stopping me.

Thank you!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
you have to use .zips that use the EDIFY update script protocol. there are some converters out there, but ultimately it's up to whoever wrote the update script in the ZIPs you're using.
[HTC EVO 3D] shaun0207:
The last couple days my 3D's screen would become unresponsive and then start randomly opening apps, emails, etc....My phone wouldn't even reboot with after pressing the power button. They only way I could get it to stop was a battery pull. But about a hour ago, even the battery pull wouldn't stop it.

So I went to the Spring store around the corner from my job and they had to give me a brand new one. Even gave me a extra 8GB card (they gave me a free 2GB one back on 1st when I had to get my EVO exchanged.) and data cord.

Anybody else have this issue?????

[Samsung Infuse 4G] DallasGT01:
i have been a iphone fan since they have first came out... i recently switch from my I4 to the infuse... and i couldnt be happier... Except one thing... the heat... When i am out at the pool with my kid and i am listening to music thru "iHeartRadio" it will switch between my radio app and my music library... and play both at the same time... And i notice the phone gets RIDICULOUSLY hot and slows way down on performance...

Has anyone else noticed these issues? Will rooting and putting the infused 1.5 on help with this? I have jailbroke and unlocked many iphones so i dont see this being a hassle to do...

TIA
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dommino2:
yes i have the same problem. Is your phone flashed/rooted? have u did over clocking the cpu? if you did and you have it really high u may want to turn ur cpu down. In my situation my phone was flashed and rooted i had my phone overclocked to 1600 on performance all the time. which burned my vibration cable. You might wanna clear your memory and close running programs this will help your phone a little from overheating.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pilotgod:
I've noticed this and I'm still stocked. Of course it happened in the sun, on a 105 degree day, and in a Ballistic HC case. Basically, I was torturing the phone. I wa clued in when the phone vibrated and displayed "reducing screen brightness due to overheat". Turned off the web, took the case off, and 5 mins later all was well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] antuus:
If you leave your phone in direct sunlight in July, you deserve to have it blow up in front of you.

I'd never leave any electronics in direct sunlight if I can help it.

I agree, I treat my infuse like a super amoled 5 inch tall vampire!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
Not all of us can be basement dwellers.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] antuus:
Now now, it has nothing to do with being a basement dweller.

Example:

If you're out by the pool and want your phone near you, wrap it in a towel.

If you're out rebuilding the back deck and want your phone accessible, put it in a safe drawer of your toolbox or in a case on your belt.

Direct sunlight is the enemy when paired with heat and humidity; not 105 degree heat alone.

I'm not telling anyone the only way to protect your phone is to board up your mom's basement and never come out. Use discretion.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LochNiss:
my infuse (with or without infused 1.5) runs hot when playing games within 10 minutes. that's what i have observed
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pilotgod:
To clarify, it was in the sun for less than 5 minutes, I was standing in line. And no, I am not going to carry an umbrella just to protect my phone. My point was more to the effect of "my phone is actually trying to protect itself", versus "damn overheating iPhone".
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andrawer:
Yep sitting in the car dock my Infuse gets extremely hot. My prior iphone4 did the same thing.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratswallow:
Does anyone know if there is any way to connect a USB microphone or other audio input to a Gtablet?

I would love to use it for an easy onsite recording device for a few things, but teh onboard mic isn't the best for what I need.

I would love to use a Blue Microphones Icicle USB device and a studio condenser mic or wireless clip on for different applications.

Does it exist, or can drivers be written for it?

The Icicle works with ASIO4all drivers as well if that helps...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZebTheCalvinist:
As far as I know, no ROM available for the G-Tablet is able to support a USB mic. I've tried audio interfaces with mine on both GTabComb and Vegan5.1.1, and neither worked.

I think that Android 3.2 is supposed to be able to support a pretty wide variety of USB devices, but it isn't available for the G-Tablet.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bking_soda:
How did you change the colors? I usually just roll with whatever the theme I'm running does, but my girl is nagging me about changing the colors.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcluvn:
Decompile the apk. Find the two 9.pngs. open them in your image editor. Select the whole image then move each side of your selected box in one pixel so that the black lines are on the outside of the selected area. Don't change any pixels in the outer edge of a 9.png at all. Change the color of your selected area to whatever you want. Save it. Run it through the x9patcher ( I think that's what it is called) and then get your patched 9.pngs from the done folder and drag and drop them into your apk that should already be in a flashable zip file. Flash in clock work and your done.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
If only changing the color, and its a solid color, I generally just load the .9 images in paint.net and use the simple hue/saturation adjuster. This saves the pain of having to patch it and no worries about affecting the outer pixel layer that controls the sizing. Have not had a problem with this method yet.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bking_soda:
Okay... I know realize I know absolutely nothing about this at all. Mcluvn... My head almost exploded reading that post. Haha. I would really like different colors but I am fairly sure I would break something. Actually...

[Verizon Droid Charge] ieAnd:
Hey there folks!

I'm a MotoMan myself (mostly by fate, not choice). I had a Droid 1 which I loved dearly, and now I'm rocking a Droid X that feels like a new phone every day thanks to CyanogenMod nightlies.

Now, thanks to Motorola's dickery, the Droid X only recently received CyanogenMod (bootloaders are awful). But as I said now that it's around, things are like night and day. Not quite as awesome as my Droid 1 since there are still no custom kernels, however I'm still a happy camper.

A few days ago however my sister bought herself a Droid Charge to lock in a 2-yr contract of $30/month LTE. Naturally, I immediately snatched it and began ROM'ing the sucker into oblivion. It's great! I love how easy it is to flash this puppy. You either use Odin, which is relatively painless... CWR, which I already spend most of my time in on my DX/Nook Color.... or the Samsung utility, which is no different than RSDlite for Motorola phones! All familiar, painless territory. And it seems like you can get some pretty customized ROMs rockin'!

So, uh... why no CyanogenMod? It seems like a lot of Samsung phones are lacking the CyanogenModz. Is there a piece of the puzzle I'm missing? Has Samsung installed something devious like a bootloader preventing it? What's going on here?

thank!
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
Cyanogen mods are mostly RUU mods. HTC in fact. I coming from TMO have used dozens and release a few Cyanogen custom roms. Realistically, the team releases code for phones that they can easily acquire. HTC phones are GSM phones and can be bought anywhere for about 100 bucks. VZW and Sprint phones are CDMA phones that are a lil harder to obtain and need a contract with the company. Easier to get GSM phones because you can unlock them for whatever global service you want to use them on.

The team is easy to get in touch with, but you will probably need to get a fan base together on a certain device and send to them, to get them to be able to write the code for. Hope this makes sense.

Barny Style.

GSM = Easy to get, easy to sale, no company crap to deal with

CDMA = Company needs to turn on, hard for resale since you need a clean esn. Harder to acquire.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bluetooth_decay:
I'm not a dev, but I think CyanogenMod uses AOSP as a base, not RUUs. It certainly looks a lot more like stock Android on my HTC Incredible than it does Sense.

That said, the point about CDMA phones being less widely available and used than GSM phones is probably a valid one, as CDMA is primarily a US thing. There is a CM port for a few Samsung Galaxy S phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
The issue is that Samsung uses stuff that is not compatible with most of the stock CM code, and a lot of hacking needs to be done to get anything simple working. I know that there are a few Samsung phones in the pipeline for CM7 support now, but it took months of work, and there are still several bugs that need worked out. The biggest issue is primarily just that Samsung releases as little source as they have to, and trying to reverse engineer their binary files that are needed is difficult to do as well. However, I do think that there will be AOSP based ROMs for the Charge after r2doesinc starts working on it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chilewile007:
As far as I know they could be working on a Droid Charge port:

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?631-WIP-CM7-for-Droid-Charge

Plus there's more than a few posts in that thread of people saying they'd send in phones for them to dev on. I've never used CM (just got my charge after a first-generation iPhone), but it looks slick as all getout. GummyCHARGED is the closest rom to it as far as I can tell.
