[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jmpz:
I'm also interested in porting CM7 to Sk4g cause I'm used to when I had G1 and now I'm using Sk4g without it.

I have programming skill and understanding of linux architecture. I've read about android architecture and AOSP and how to build Cyanogen from source. I'm running a tech firm (about 30 employees) - we are developing games that's why I don't have enough time to port it faster but I'm going to do it in a month or two.

So, I need help from experienced dev for android who is willing to build AOSP rom for Sk4g.

Here is what I'm going to do:

1) I'm gonna try to build Kd1 rom from source (there is an opensource code from samsung) and flash it to my Sk4g

2) Change the platform in original source to AOSP 2.2 and remove all TMOBILE apps - then build and flash

3) I'll try to find all hardware specs of the phone to compare with other samsung devices. It can help to exctract proprietary drivers of the phone. I think that the drivers are commonly the same, but I need to identify it.

After that I'm gonna upgrade to AOSP 2.3 but I don't have enough knowledge right now. Can some experienced devs answer the questions:

1) Are the linux kernels of AOSP 2.2 and 2.3 identical?

2) Can I use device drivers from 2.2 on 2.3?

If someone is interested in this project - please let me know and let's start the job. I think that my progress wouldn't be fast due to lack of time.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Thank you for joining the Sidekick 4G section , & we welcome you but if you want you could pause the game's for the ROM if anything & Question 1 is a no & Question 2 no cause they have to be compiled with the 2.3 kernel .

- Said by Sduvick
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Revolution, thanks for relaying my responses.

jmpz, I tried building the source before, but was unable to build it completely, but that was possibly because of some errors with my dependencies. The kernel compiles fine from source, you just need to pull initramfs, or you can get it from Dr. Honk's github.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jmpz:
Thank you for your answers.

So, can anyone enumerate the list of drivers which we should extract from kernel?

I can name these:

1) Keyboard

2) Mic

3) 2 speakers

4) buttons

5) front camera

6) rear camera

7) trackpoint

8) lcd

9) digitizer

10) 3.5 jack

Please correct me and add missing

If I understanding it rightly the key problem is getting proprietary drivers from the kernel. Right?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
nope, the key problem is trying to build the system entirely, without any errors, which may be easier with someone following a stock designed build environment. I don't use Ubuntu which is what has the listed dependencies for every tutorial I can find. You can get the drivers out of Dr. Honk's voodoo kernel ramdisk here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145139

There shouldn't be any problems if you just set up a build environment following the directions in any of the tutorials, then add the platform from the samsung source.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jmpz:
I'm a linuxoid - so these tutorial are for me. Thank you for the link.

By the way, drivers are in Linux Kernel, so I don't think that I need to use Samsung Platform from the source. Instead I wanna use platform from AOSP or Cyanogen. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think that grabbing drivers from kernel source from samsung would be enough to build the rom.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CurtisTheGreat:
I 100% support your efforts. I want Cyanogen on the SK4G badly, but I'm not sure what kind of help a non-programmer like me could do, but do have some experience with flashing phones and such, so if there is anything you need let me know.

If you do get rolling heavily on this, I'd be willing to donate monetarily to your efforts. :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
If anyone can get CyanogenMod 7 on the Sidekick they would definetely get a donation from me. Id be thrilled. Glad to see its going to be worked on. :)

Actually the body of the Vibrant and the i9000 is the same, so it wouldn't matter.
[Vibrant Accessories] orionl:
If it was slimmer like the "pebble" some phones have, than I would definitely consider it. But I'd prefer a small cord you can easily move to the side, rather than the mat. Plus, if your texting while charging and you prefer to actually hold your phone while texting, there would be a lot of "plugging/unplugging" so to speak. (Not literally plugging in, but you know what I mean. Lol).

it looks interesting i would buy it but i would have to see what people have to say first seems kinda iffy

How's the thickness of it tho? Does it add a lot? I was looking at getting one also, but wanted some reviews first.

it isnt much bigger, the bump on the back is still there all it does is replace the back cover on the phone i can always take before and after pics if you want.....

I would love to see some pics. Also that tab that sticks up on the top, is it removable? Not really digging that. Thanks.
[Vibrant Accessories] Phaze01:
no the tab on the top isnt removable thats how the phone charges. i will take some pics when i can get a hold of a camera

I thought that was a usb cover. thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wessonster:
The AMOLED screen on my Nexus One broke, so, I sent it for repair to a dealer cause there is no official HTC support for Nexus One in India. Before I sent the phone I took a backup of my SD card and also removed it from the phone.

After I got the phone back with the new screen installed, I put in my SD card and it says Blank SD card or unsupported file system. So, I tried different SD card and the same thing popped up with every card I put in. It would ask me to format the card and even if I formatted, it would not mount the SD card. The SD cards work in all other phones and SD card readers.

So, I sent the phone back to the repair guy and he said that its most probably a software bug because if it was a hardware bug then the error message would not pop up at all. He said that it would be best to reflash the ROM but then he tried and the ROM could not be reflashed.

Now the Phone is with me and everything works except for the SD card. Plugging the phone in the computer also doesn't help as the card is not being mounted by the phone at all.

The phone I am using is a Nexus One with stock ROM Android 2.3.4 (never rooted or hacked).

Please help me find a solution to this. I'm even ready to install a custom ROM but can't do so without an SD card.

Please help!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Ok well android can't find the SD card but lets see if your bootloader can if not then send it in for repairs again because it's not software. Check my sig there is a link that says passimg try those instructions and tell me what you get.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wessonster:
Hey,

Thank you for the response but most of the instructions require the SD Card. However, in my case as you know the SD Card itself is not functioning. So even if I download the Passimg file, I can't place it on the SD card.

Is there a way to use ADB to wipe the phone completely and then reinstall the original factory stock ROMS?

I did go back to the vendor and asked him to repair the device but after a heated argument he just said that the device's SD card is working but it is not recognizing the cards in it which he said is because of a software bug and for that you need to re-flash the device completely but he didn't have the means to do it, so now I'm left with an unusable phone.

So, in shot can I do the whole reflash thing without the SD card working?

Thank you for responding, you're the only one so far whose come to the rescue. Waiting to hear from you.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wessonster:
Hey,

So I just understood the full extent of your recommendation. You wanted me to check if the bootloader detects the Passimg file or not given that booting into Android is not doing that.

As per the instructions on the passimg page I need to download the FRG83 ROM and apply the update. But I'm just wondering if I do this and if the bootloader actually detects the update on the SD card, won't I also need to downgrade the HBOOT version or is it jut safe to apply the downgraded FRG83 over the GRJ22 build that I currently have on the phone?

The details of my phone are as follows:

Nexusone pvt Ship S-ON

HBOOT-0.35.0017

MICROP-0b15

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0103

RADIO-5.08.00.04

Oct 12 2010, 14:33:16

Please guide as per your convenience,

Thank you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAwAtA:
I'm not 100% sure but I'd assume that if you do as what you're planning to do.. the HBOOT should also be flashed automatically with the rom. double check incase!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wessonster:
Hi Again,

So, I took the risk and downloaded the FRG83 ROm loaded it into my SD card using a different phone and then put that card into the SD card slot of the Nexus One.

I went into the boot loaded and it automatically detected the PASSIMG.zip file and asked me whether I want to install the Update - I chose YES.

The update installed successfully and I booted into Android. After finishing the Wizard, I checked the Android Version and it says FRG83 but when I look at the notification bar it still shows me the same error "Blank SD card or has Unsupported File System".

So, we can conclude that the SD card and the SD slot work fine.. Any thoughts on what could be done next?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
:confused: Well that's weird ok well lets see what the computer says. Put the card back in that other phone and connect it to the computer then on the computer go to computer then right click the card (probably E: maybe F: ) then go to properties and check file system make sure it's FAT32.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
Not sure if it's wort posting on this thread still, but lots of people come searching for a solution to this problem so I figured I'd post at least another thing to try.

I've had this happen several time on various Android phones. I've been able to bring the card back every time. I throw the card into my micro usb reader, pop it in my computer, and run disk utility (I don't know what equivalent would be for Windows). You should see your SD card come up and see your main data partition there below it. Click on the partition and click repair in the bottom right.

It will run through some stuff and you'll be able to see if it's found anything in need of repair and if it repaired it.

The few times this has happened to me Disk Utility said it was an empty block at beginning of some data or something...

YMMV

I noticed that the People Live Tile keeps resetting for me, and I found one way to show it is that if you scroll to the bottom of your homescreen and scroll back up, the people tile resets to all blue and slowly starts to refresh with peoples pictures.

Anyone else notice this problem? I noticed it on the Mango 7661 beta and then I updated to 7712 and the issue is still there

Less tiles is key

Hi

I have the same issue, the only way I can resolve it is to have less tiles (i.e. about 22 tiles (20 single, 2 double) or 12 lines or less. As soon as I add more, it resets all live tiles. Extremely irritating. I thought it would handle more. Hope they fix it.

Let me know if there is a fix.

PS. I notice that you place people tile half way down, it doesnt reset every time you scroll to bottom.

I have a power plug and sometimes charges and sometimes don't. It also gets hot after about 10mins of charge but it is charging.

I know there has been a few faults but has anyone experienced this charging sometimes and hot to the touch?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feoen:
The charger getting hot is a good sign; that shows that it is working. The charger will get (very) hot during charging and will cool off when it is done charging.

My recommendation to fix the sometimes charging/sometimes not charging problem is to pull the cord out of the plug unit and plug them back together. The cord is a little finicky and so it might need to be reseated. Make sure the cord is plugged ALL the way into the plug unit (it can be a little hard to get them to be perfectly together).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roryhawke:
Hot Hot Hot

I have called Asus on this issue and while they agreed to RMA the charger I just can't be without it right now so i wait. Chargers getting warm are normal, but chargers getting as hot as mine does is not normal and not good. I would estimate this charger is getting in the 160-180 degree range. Mine has also failed to charge on one occasion. One post i ran across said to change the polarity of the charger by turning it over so that the word ASUS is upside down when the viewing the outlet with the ground pin below the prongs. Seemed to help but not sure if its actually better or just wishful thinking, ymmv.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
Turning the charger over does not effect the heating of the charger, it simply eliminates the possibility of stray AC voltage on the shield of the cable and frame of the TF. The heating of the charger is caused by inefficiencies in the inexpensive charger and fact that it appears to be working close to its design limit. A few tips that have worked for me.

Use an outlet that good air circulation around it.

If used on an extension cord. sit on a heat conductive surface not on a carpet.

If tablet and dock are deeply discharged, charge separately and allow charger to cool between charge sessions.

If the charger gets too hot, it appears to shut off. Allowing it to cool generally gets it going again.

The charger and plug for the wall are a 2 piece unit. Ensure that that end that contains the wall prongs is seated all the way down. There is a line between the 2 units. The pieces on both sides of the line should be flush.

Regarding temperature, mine gets pretty warm. Warm enough that I would not want to handle it.

Is it possible to port over just the feature to use on other roms besides stock? I'd imagine it's just a few files that can be extracted

thought this was going to be a thread about the horrible speaker volume (even after the update) lol..........
[Nexus S General] gkrawiec:
i also thought it was about speaker volume... its pretty bad. :D
[Nexus S General] genaro12543:
I know its bad that's why I want it fixed lol. I haven't heard anyone mention a dramatic difference in volume on 2.3.5 so I don't know if it's even worth Porting over anymore and I flashed stock 2.3.5 for a split second but didn't noticea difference myself. I guess volume+ is our only option.

P.s. if you do decide to use volume+ don't forget to delete dsp manager or you'll get fc's
[Nexus S General] gkrawiec:
is it a software volume bug, or is it a tiny speaker problem? honestly, at least for ringer volume when the phone is display down and the speaker is upwards its loud enough...when the speaker is facing the table (specially cushioned surfaces) i cant hear it ring.

[Nexus S General] jrdatrackstar:
The ringer is loud enough (with the right ringtone lol), bit music or anything else is awful....

i dont listen to music, maybe thats why i never realized that. The tiny speaker being on the backside does annoy me though.

So I moved all of my apps to sd before wiping, hoping I could move them back after flashing the new rom but that doesn't seem to be working? My apps do not show up in either App2SD or Superbox pro :(. Did I screw up?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
So you moved apps to external SD card?

Did you NVFlash Clockwork? More importantly, did install the Clockwork with Ext SD Card support?

Not sure if you move them back, but I had similar issue. I had all apps backed up with Titanium Backup on Ext SD Card. I NVFlashed and could not located TB backup folder. Turns out I NVFLashed the wrong CWR and did not have Ext support. Once I installed correct CWR I was able to restore all applications.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] msage:
Actually yea I did NVFlash with Ext SD support. After booting into recovery though and trying to install the .zip from SD I realized that I forgot to move the rooted GB.zip to the SD card, so I powered off, moved the .zip to my sd, then just held vol down+power and hit install from sd.

Was I supposed to go through the whole NVflash again?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
If you Clockwork loads up instead of a standard Factory Reset you don't need to go through NVFlash again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] msage:
In that case it would seem I did everything right but I must've screwed up somewhere
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
Moving apps to the SD card doesn't stop them getting wiped.

The only way to keep hold of them is to back them up first.

Hello great minds of xda, for the past 2 months I've been having an issue with my streak not seeing apps installed on my SD card. sometimes a reboot would solve the problem, but most of the time multiple reboots yield no results. Whenever the card is not recognized I am unable to connect my phone to my computer, nor can I install any apps from market or otherwise.

Ok so here's the strange part, file browsers like Astro can see and open files on the SD card, yet SD installed apps are not shown in the app drawer, under settings/manage apps SD installed apps are shown but their icons are greyed out and can not be manipulated.

Yes I did, in fact I was hoping that it was card related because that would be a simple fix. I replaced the original 16 gig card that came with the Streak with a brand spanking new 32 gig card but the problem continues.
