Hey everyone!!! There are many newbies like me out there who want to learn how to port/develop themes/apps/roms etc to our device . So i was wondering if any of you experienced guys could take out your precious time and give a short tutorial(or at least provide a link).A google search doesn't help much!! I'm tired of just using stuff and watching other people develop it!!!

here are some links

You have to be more specific on what you want to do. For rom porting, you will need to have coding skills. For everytjing else, the search box here in xda would suffice.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gamer2:
Lets start with themes!!!

:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Sine.:
Like said before, searching is one of the best way to learn ;)

You could found threads like this one for themes, [GUIDE] Want to learn how to theme?

see this video. Its an app for iphone. But I think by doing changes in framework file we can achieve such animation in menu (just guessing). If apple os is capable of this then definitely our android must have more capabilities...!!

How to set up screen resolution in appinventor to support QHD Screen resolutions? I couldn't find any article about that, may be it isn't available yet? when I am building app, it shows only on WVGA resolution, so on my sensation it is approximatly 3/4 ...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksubedi:
I am aware that the questions i am about to ask might have been asked 1000 times, but the search feature didnt help this time, so i am sorry if i am bugging out somebody. So here is what happened.

I got a mytouch 4g phone today, and i rooted it using gfree as it was the first sticky on the forum. i did a bit of research about bricks on mt4g (have been playing with androids since a long time) and didnt find anything about the emmc problem. then i tried gfree and it was easier than i thought. so i unlocked it (s-off), changed cid and unlocked sim (all using gfree -f). and i installed cwm and installed a rom. everything is working perfect.

but i discovered all the threads about bad emmc and bricks and stuffs like that. so i checked my emmc name and it came out to be the bad one. and i figured out that i did a big mistake. so i thought about restoring gfree backup and using the other root method (hboot s-off not radio). i was just about to restore the backup using gfree, then i noticed that my backup file (.bin file) was not present on my sd. i was shocked at first. then i found that i could s-on the phone using gfree without using backup bin file. but if i do that, will my phone not get emmc bricked like others? or do i need my backup file? can i use someone else's bin backup file? if yes, can you give me yours? any help would be really appreciated. i am worried that i might get a brick anytime. i was planning to make some tools for mytouch 4g (like i did for hd2) but i guss i will not be able to do that anymore cuz i might get a brick anytime. thanks for reading.

Edit: do all bad emmc phones using gfree get bricked? and what is the average period before it gets bricked (yea im too worried :( ) and is there anythign i could do now? (except for sending it for replacement since i bought it off craigslist)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
This gfree and bad eMMC is just a correlation. Nothing has been proven to be a fact just yet. I've rooted my phone via gfree about 3 months ago now and I flash at least 2-3 times a week and nothing happened so far (I have the bad eMMC by the way). Everything seems fine for now.

I've also came across people that have the bad eMMC and have bee rooting and flashed hundreds of time for 6 months and going, so it's not a definite that your phone with the bad chip will die soon, so just keep that in mind.

But yes, it has happened to numerous people with the bad chip. Honestly, I would just ride it out and see what happens. If it dies just exchange it through T-Mobile.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can't root the phone with "bad" eMMC by root.sh method, so you shouldn't even bother trying.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tooter1:
I used this method on mine with the "bad chip" and had no problems.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tKoHaXoR:
You used g-free previously.. or root.sh wouldn't work on bad eMMc.

Please refer to the guides.

root.sh is guaranteed not to work on bad eMMc's unless g-free had previously been used.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
Also not all "can't open /cache/recovery/log" errors in recovery are due to a dead eMMC chip. It can happen if your cache partition gets corrupted. Earlier this week, I had a bad flash--forgot to verify the md5sum before flashing, and after things started messing up, wifi not working, force-closes, etc...

So I went back to restore a nandroid backup I had made prior to the bad flash and got the dreaded "can't open /cache/recovery/log" error. I plopped the PD15IMG.zip on my sdcard and flashed it through hboot without any fail-PU errors.

So no, a M4G2DE eMMC chip doesn't always mean you'll have a brick. And cache partition errors in recovery don't always mean the eMMC chip died. What it means is that the "bad" eMMC chip has a much higher failure rate than the "good" chip. So if you have a "bad" chip, judging by the numbers, you have a much higher chance of ending up with a brick at some point.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3p4145:
might sound silly but where would I get the PD15IMG.zip file??

I thought PD15IMG.zip was the RADIO file.. but i think am pretty clueless...any enlightenment ?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Any file that has to be flashed through the bootloader (such as the stock RUU, radio files, etc) has to be named PD15IMG.zip for the bootloader to recognize it. There are two threads in the dev section that have the stock RUU you're looking for. A little searching should locate them.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imsuperduper:
Hi,

I'm a newb, and was thinking about rooting my phone and installing a different rom, but I read about this bad eMMC problem. I was wondering, if I have the bad eMMC and I don't root and install roms, will I still have the same problem that my phone might just die? Or is it only if I flash roms onto my phone?

Thanks,

Andy
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yes, if the "bad" eMMC in your phone is really bad - it'll die no matter if you flash ROMs or not. Just slower if you don't.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbutt:
For what it's worth, I've had my phone with the bad emmc since December ... rooted since January & flashing roms ever since... no dead emmc. (Yet, if ever).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DashBlacK:
So, if you do have the M4G2DE chip, is it possible that is good? Like, you have a good version of the M4G2DE chip?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatsuDragneell:
+1
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbutt:
good question. i don't have an answer to that. i've warrantied my phone, got another bad emmc around april? & have rooted & been flashing roms. phone hasn't died.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
M4G2DE is just a regular chip. It's used for at least 3 other phones (G2, DHD, DS). I have one in my wife's Desire S, and it's rooted and running VU.

All the hype of the "bad" chip has gone WAY out of proportions.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teo032:
Yes, there is a good and a bad batch like most things in the world. My mytouch had the bad emmc from march to now and it's been fine. I flash like a maniac and it's been fine.

But like someone mentioned before if you really do have the bad bad chip; eventually your phone will just crap out. There are several cases on it from people who has never rooted before.

What people usually don't talk about is that some "good" chips are also bad and will eventually go bad overtime. Someone made a poll and discovered that the bad emmc chip showed a higher susceptibility of the phone failing. But remember it is only a poll. The poll also said that blacks are more susceptible than other colors... Why? because more blacks were distributed. It is possible that more bad chips were distributed. who knows?

Hope that clears some things up for everyone.

HTC Mytouch 4G EMMC

I sent in my lifeless HTC Mytouch 4G to have 'Jtag Service' done to it as thats what I thought it needed, but instead they performed this 'EMMC Repairs Service' which was what they diagnosed the problem to be. An it fixed it, before sending it in, all my phone did was to charge batteries. checkout their website they even send the bad EMMC chip with the phone :good: hope I helped someone be blessed :angel: here is the URL---> mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce .com/htc-mytouch-4g-emmc-chip-repair-replacement/
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymeatb18:
Nice how much was that
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorne1209:
I almost had the JTAG service done too. Before I did I did my research and come to find out that when I explained my situation to one of their techs I was emailing, he said that my situation was folly and there was nothing they could do. He stated it was the dreaded "bad eMMC chip problem" yet all i had was cache and recovery errors just like what was mentioned above. Formatted my sdcard, put the stock T-Mobile GB PD15IMG.zip on there, flashed, and booted right up. Lost root of course, but able to get it back to rooted state and been flashing custom roms ever since. Pretty sure just like what was stated above... Blown WAY out of proportion. Hope this helps some people with their anxiety about this issue.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N_otori0us_:
This issue sometimes happens when BOOTLOADER says can't mount data, recovery etc.

Thats when you're in shiz.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorne1209:
Yep... Deep shiz... Can't mount cache...can't mount recovery... It's scary stuff. But that was what the problems I had! Thankfully it was fixable.:(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Coinz:
Hello i know there is a similar thread about this but its not the same and the solution there doesnt help me. No matter how i set the time ( manually or automatically ) my htc hero keeps advancing the minutes like the time goes faster then it really is. For exemple if i correct the time manually to 09:05 after an hour it shows 10:07 instead of 10:05 as it should be. Also i've noticed my htc hero is slower then it used to be dunno if its related with the clock problem.

I'm using Elelinux-Hero-2.1-update1-Reloaded with radio version 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 and kernel version is 2.6.29.6 HeroKernel-12a-Generic

but i've tried other roms and the problem persists.

ps: i forgot to say the alarm doesnt work aswell i have to wakeup the phone for it work
[Hero, G2 Touch General] k0zmic:
Try go into date and time settings and untick Automatic Time from Network Provider if it's already ticked.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Coinz:
I've allready tried everything i know ( flashing diferent roms, wiping everything ) but i cant fix it. Is my htc Hero broken ?

Yes i've allready tried that and it doesnt fix it :(

I think the main issue here is i have to wakeup the phone for the alarm to work.

Exemple: if i set the alarm to 06:00 am the phone wont wake up at 06:00 am like it should. I have to wake up the screen manually and only after that the alarm starts even if its one hour later.

So i guess this and the clock issue are related.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] yc8332:
it may be rom's bug:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Coinz:
I don't think it's a rom bug but I will try a new rom when I have time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gruesomewolf:
Sorry This took me so long guys, have had a lot going on! :D Ok so heres the goods, added transparency to notification dropdown , and of course I included the semi-transparent rosie, took the phone icon out of the rosie, gonna let you guys decide if that should stay that way or put the phone back in! Optimized the hell out of the images inside the theme, and of course all .apk's are odexed! (note to any up and coming themers out there, If you want to create a theme for this rom and plan to enable transparency for your notification dropdown you can go ahead and use my SystemUI.odex! )Or you can take the long way around and deodex the systemui.apk, make the required smali edits, then odex it again! Its up to you :D;)

There is also no need to wipe cache or dalvik, as I added it to the updater script! Please make sure, after flashing, that you fix apk uid missmatches.

Note: You may have to reboot twice to get the full effect!!

@XS.....Thanks for the mirror, I usually use multi but it kept getting hung up at like 60% the night I wanted to upload the theme. And I'm not to sure about updates....trying to keep up witht the rom! Thats not easy....King is a beast, he just keeps knocking them out! :eek:

As for the MikKingdom ?? it should work just fine as is.....even though MikKingdom is odexed, because you can run a mix of odexed adn deodexed apps! And I dont thinks Aamikams framework should be to different from kings framework. So I would say go ahead and do a nand backup and give it a flash! :cool:

Thanks to everyone for the support......I really appreciate it!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gruesomewolf:
Sad to say.....in the 3.0 roms the clock and all its components are located in the fusion.apk. So by flashing this it would change alot more then just the clock. What rom are you running? I can do clock mods, very simple stuff. :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jeffro1010:
Running kinged kingdom v1.6, anxiously awaiting the nightly... Thanks for the reply, does that mean i can pull the clock out and apply it? Sorry, I've been a lurking noob for some time now....

Sorry nope. Like I said its located in the fusion.apk.....in order to just have the clock without a lot of other things changing I would have to redo the whole fusion.apk:cool:

Thanks king. That theme you released was pretty sweet as well!! Good stuff :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gruesomewolf:
Yes sir.....Chrome for the Kingdom. Its beta though, last night when I flashed no problems.....this morning getting FC on live weather wallpaper. Clearly I have something to work out! Thats the only bug I can see at the moment though!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phillymade:
I'm running the Honey theme and LOVE it. But I told you that already. Any way to make that Honey theme Orange??? and by the way, it runs great on RLS1
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gruesomewolf:
Yeah it should run great on any release of the kingdom. It was already updated with the latest framework files. Note: My live weather wallpaper is working again.....Im begining to think I just to update the rom, Not the theme! :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CLJohnson2810:
It works, but there are smalls things that you can see the incompatibility at. Like Software updates and a few other options in the settings give you long sentences that get cut out. When you drag down the notification bar and release it back to its normal state, the date hangs on the notification bar in some weird transparency effect.

Nonetheless, the phone doesn't lose functionality, so it works. If your someone with OCD, then those little things will bother the h*ll out of you LOL.

I like it though!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gruesomewolf:
I think the long setences that get cut off is the font....try flashing a smaller font. Also you may want to go into your system/app folder and delete the SystemUI.odex. In fact I would do this for any app you got out of my theme, you can delete all the odexes to any app you got out of the theme! It will save space, and maybe make things run a little smoother! :D Glad you like it though, and really glad it works! :D:D:D
