No need to get confused! I might just take your suggestion and edit my post. Flashing an Odin image is a lot easier than it sounds, and if you mess something up, there's always a way to get back to stock.

Even though Android devices have a single internal flash drive, there are separate mount points that are used by the OS with different permissions for each. Remember the underlying OS is essentialy a Linux/Unix derivative, and what you see on the UI of the phone is nothing more than a well designed GUI. That being said, the system partition/mount point by default is set as read only. When doing a wipe/factory reset, you are deleting all the user-defined parts of the OS, such as downloaded apps, email, contacts, calendar, etc. The cache partition is just that - a location where parts of the OS are placed when in transition, such as when updating an app that is part of the system partition.

When you root an Android phone, you are essentially unlocking the system partition so you can not only see what data is on the internal storage itself, but by using a file explorer that can make use of the root permissions, you can add and delete content to the system partition, which is how I made this ROM. Once I had everything the way I wanted it, I then extracted those mount points and combined them together into the flashable Odin image.

When you install a custom ROM, you are replacing the system partition located on the internal flash drive, and typically the recovery and kernel partitions as well.

I'm guessing this may be more information than you wanted, but I thought I'd throw it all out there to make things, hopefully, a little clearer.
[Continuum Android Development] TraMaI:
That's actually really cool to know how you made this. Just in case, in the future, I want to make my own back up or whatever for it. Also, the rom works flawlessly. I was having problems with the other stock froyo rom until I flashed this on. My home and Search keys did nothing and I had no lock screen at all. I think it was just a random error when I flashed it, possibly because I didn't wipe the cache or something when I flashed the first time. Thanks a bunch buddy!

Awsome info....thanks

sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
I'm glad to hear it's working for people. The only issue is bringing up Google Voice Search with a long-press on the search key, but heck, it's a very small price to pay to be rid of Bing.

Anyhow, here's a post for making your own Odin image. Like most everything I've posted lately, this too is courtesy of imnuts.

I didn't even know you COULD voice search lol!
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
Yes, this does have Google Voice Search pre-installed. When tapping the search button, the standard Google Search app will open. Tap the microphone icon, and you have voice search.

Pretty good stuff, i'm not much of a fan of Go Launcher, other than that its really good.
[Continuum Android Development] Bierce22:
just got this going and everything is running good so far. I have one question since this is a rooted rom is the native 3g hotspot free now or am i better off using wireless tether either way it dosnt matter my ps3 just picks up the 3g hotspot.
[Continuum Android Development] Bierce22:
nvm i got it lol. i used wireless tether3.1 set profile to fascinate and enabled softap mode and my ps3 picks it up just fine.
[Continuum Android Development] tanru:
Does the "Ticker" area still function like the factory version?

Will Flash Player 10 work?
[Continuum Android Development] samuelhadams:
Yes and yes.
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
This is too damn funny. My ROM made its way to Addictive Tips without me even knowing! I'm back to working on trying to improve this ROM. I don't know if anyone else is working on one, but my Eris is giving me problems, so I'll be keeping the Continuum at least until the last week or so of September.

[Continuum Android Development] samuelhadams:
I have a list of some apps I'd like to see removed to make a super clean ROM. Let me know if you're interested.
[Continuum Android Development] Bierce22:
Just use root explorer to remove the system apps.
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
I'm actually looking at doing that. I'm trying to get GoogleVoice working with a long press of the search soft key, but so far no luck. When I do get around to making another flashable rom, I'll be incorporating the Launcher for GB, and possibly removing a few more apps that I added in that some users may not want installed. It will definitely be a super clean ROM when I'm done!
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
^

got long press working with google search xD I'll upload it later xD

you have to do some smali editing to fix it, that's why it wouldn't work xP
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
Hell yeah, you kick ass! That was the one thing that was irritating me about the Froyo ROM. I'm just starting to learn all this development stuff. I was trying to modify the enhancedgooglesearchprovider.apk that made this feature work with DL17. You've made my day! I'm excited to get this working.
[Continuum Android Development] laureanop:
I wanna install this on my wife's continuum but i don"t understand step 7. Isn't everything wiped when you odin the froyo.tar file? or is step 7 used if you wanna install the froyo file though cwm? Are the froyo kernel and radio included in the odin package?
[Continuum Android Development] samuelhadams:
Step 7 is just wiping data you have stored from the ROM you're running now. It's cached data from the apps from your currently running ROM.

So again to clarify, step 7 is not an alternative method to installing this Froyo ROM via CWM. It's to wipe cached data. Wiping this data will prevent errors from occurring so make sure to do it.
[Continuum Android Development] Bierce22:
you can wipe the data with the normal bootloader cwm is there in case you want to make a back up or flash an add on.
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
Anyone know how to flash this thing in Heimdall? I don't have windows.
[Continuum Android Development] Bierce22:
are you on mac or linux
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
linux (Ubuntu 11.04)
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
Here's the UI
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
Heimdall should work, but no guarantees on that. To flash via Heimdall, take the Odin image, remove .md5 from the file name, unzip, and input the appropriate files into Heimdall. zImage is the kernel, factoryfs.rfs is the system, and recovery.bin is of course recovery. If all else fails, throw the files on a thumb drive and use a friend's Windows machine. I'm Mac user, but I used Odin through Bootcamp to get this done.

You can also flash the zip file provided by imnuts, but you would still need to flash the modem and cwm recovery.
[Continuum Android Development] Bierce22:
u need the echo 3 image then use pda mode in heimden im pretty sure
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
Worked perfectly... thanks for the help.
[Continuum Android Development] laureanop:
I just installed on wife' s phone. 100% success. Works flawlessly, even the new market. Flash video a little choppy.

Keys to successful installation: FOLLOW THE OP INSTRUCTIONS,installing cyan cwm, never letting the phone do a normal restart until the final step, wiping everything on cwm, correct placement and naming of update. Zip file

Fyi: it works with Dl radio as well. I'll odin ec 03 later
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
I was holding off for Imnuts's clean ROM, but decided to go ahead with this ROM.

One of the greatest features of this phone is the ability to receive incoming calls via the Ticker--a feature I've only seen rivaled in CM7 on my Fascinate that allows for incoming calls to be restricted to the notification bar.

Well, I have learned enough about this phone over time to know that the only way to receive incoming calls via the Ticker on the Continuum is to have loaded the TW Launcher. I hate the TW Launcher, and I find Go Launcher to fall short of LauncherPro.

Regardless, when using a different launcher other than TW's, the service (or whatever it is) for incoming calls to the Ticker does not load upon rebooting your phone. I've worked around this by creating a shortcut in LauncherPro to load the "activity" for TW Launcher and I load TW Launcher after any reboot....and have that and LauncherPro both running

long story short here to ask....can someone unearth the service or component within the TW Launcher that is responsible for incoming calls to the Ticker? If this were possible, maybe the service could just be set to run on startup, and I wouldn't have to install the TW Launcher on this ROM as I just did, JUST to get incoming calls to the Ticker.

I feel I might not have been as clear as I could have been...oh well, you are all smart people. :)

by the way, who hasn't been playing a game or browsing full screen on their Android phone to be rudely interrupted by a phone call taking over their whole screen? I've accidentally answered calls on other phones this way. The Ticker-incoming-call feature is beautiful.
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
I'm glad to hear this is working for people. If I get bored tomorrow, I'll get another ROM put together. I'm working on a super-clean, de-binged with gapps version that incorporates the AOSP lock screen and the reboot options, courtesy of imnuts and trailblazer. The Odin image will include modem and cwm recovery, but I'm not sure if its possible to add those to a cwm flashable zip file. I'll find out, one way or another, and get it uploaded.
[Continuum Android Development] laureanop:
Thank you pastorbennet , imnuts07 and trailblazer for your amazing work. You have made this phone the phone that it should have always been. Looking forward to the mods and improvements
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
Sorry I missed your question before posting my response above. I'll try looking at this and see if I can't figure it out. I've recently ditched Go Launcher, and when I post a Super Clean update to this, I'll be including the GB launcher. I'll see if the incoming calls answered through the Ticker works with the GB Launcher.

I too don't care for the TW Launcher. There's got to be a way to load the service that allows calls to be answered through the ticker, I just don't have an answer to this at the moment.
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
You're very welcome! I don't feel like I've done too much, just slap some apps together and delete the garbage, but I guess I've put in a few hours on helping to improve the functionality of this phone. Since things now seem to be out of the hands of the manufacturer and the developers are leading the charge, we might even see GB in the next few months. I can guarantee I probably won't have a hand in it, since that's far above my abilities. So far I'm pretty much confined to following the instructions of others and figuring out a few things here and there on my own, but there are some very talented guys in these forums, and I doubt we'll see this device abandoned for a few more years down the road. Heck, there's even GB rome for my old Eris that have been updated within the last week or so.
[Continuum Android Development] laureanop:
Gb would be great. Hopefully whatever Gb leak the continuum gets (or maybe a cm7 port)does not have the SD card issues that my phone the fascinate has (not even the great jt 1134 can figure this one out). These galaxy s phones are a beast on aosp but the SD card debacle made me go back to tw (if I hadn't backed up my SD I would have lost two years worth of pictures). It's frustrating because I have experienced the little humming bird CPU running on demand governor instead of the silly conservative tw limits us to. Oh well, still great phones
[Continuum Android Development] laureanop:
Imnuts says that in order to make a voodoo kernel he needs the source. Isn't the source in the leaked ec 03 kernel? Or is that something separate that VZW or Samsung have to release?
[Continuum Android Development] joshkoss:
source is something separate.
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Would any of this help?

https://opensource.samsung.com/
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
If we do get GB on this phone, it probably won't be through a leak, but most likely developed from the GB source code. Samsung is one of the roadblocks, still, for the Continuum. Also, as far as I know, the stock kernel doesn't support OC'ing. I actually checked after downloading CpuBoostLite, and even though it would let me tweak the settings, there was no gain in performance. The Quadrant scores remained pretty much the same.
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
Supposedly the site says it's the source code, but it only offers DL17. This might be helpful in getting CM7, but since I haven't written a line of code since I was in the 9th grade, circa 1993, I wouldn't know where to start. After 18 years, I'd say I know Greek and Hebrew better than programming!

EDIT - I'm no coding wiz like some of our forum benefactors, but I downloaded the DL17 open source file from that site, and it is indeed the code source for DL17.
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I thought maybe the Fascinate kernels would be some help..?
[Continuum Android Development] laureanop:
Apparently screen resolution settings are embedded in the kernel, and given the differences in the displays size and lay out it's close to impossible to make it compatible. It could run but your screen would look a mess
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Yes we know that... But we also know that the only difference between our kernel and the Fascinate kernel is the display driver module. All that needs to be changed is screen resolution and framebuffer size. So therefore we can use the Fascinate kernel as a reference on how to build our own future, possibly GB kernels. We could also use fascinate roms which could speed up development.

Of course we would lose the ticker but that may be an acceptable loss for some of us.

I believe that the Fascinates ED03 Froyo kernel is very similar to our EC03 build if not identical the only differences being the above display driver. I think this would be a good place to start if we wanted to use Fascinate roms with our kernels or vice versa.
[Continuum Android Development] Nuckin:
Easier said than done, it's not as simple as changing the screen resolution and changing framebuffer size. We need another module to run our buttons and yet another for the ticker since the device really is 3 screens in one.

If we had GB source for the ticker and kernel, we'd be able to, but then again we wouldn't be having this conversation if we did.
[Continuum Android Development] TraMaI:
Why wouldn't the 2.2 modules work? Did they change THAT much from Froyo to GB that we can't just use the old drivers?
[Continuum Android Development] phrite:
Had a problem at first, then figured it out. was just some confusion on the instructions. but thank you so much for all your hard work. so damn happy to have 2.2 now.
[Continuum Android Development] Nuckin:
Different kernel versions call for different driver versions
[Continuum Android Development] samuelhadams:
Pastorbennett when can we expect your super clean ROM?
[Continuum Android Development] pastorbennett:
My apologies that I haven't gotten it up yet. I have a parishioner who is literally on her deathbed, so it's been a busy week.

I had it uploaded and ready to go, until I ran into some fc issues. I'll be posting a Beta as soon as I get it figured out.

I have some crazy ideas for a future rom, but it probably won't be coming from me, since 1 month from today I get to order a DI2 from Wirefly for free. In the mean time, I'll be working to make this phone as usable as possible.
[Continuum Android Development] abby_nitewolf:

You need to flash the cwm kernel in odin. it can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316769

it is under the tools section

Recovery Bin (adryntest4.tar-odin flash):

as well as odin.

To flash: (everything I reference here can be found in the thread above)

1 download odin, and samsung drivers.

2 Install the drivers, following driver pack isntructions

3 unzip odin to your desktop, and open it.

4 place your phone into download mode by powering off, then holding vol down and power at the same time until you have a large yellow triange and "do not turn off target"

5 plug into your computer, and give the drivers a few seconds to do final install (you will get a message in your quicklaunch telling you when your 'device is ready to use')

6 odin should detect your device, and give you com and a couple of numbers in a small box, just underneath a larger one on the upper left corner.

7 click pda and find the recovery file you downloaded, and then click ok

8 make sure repartition and autoreboot are UNCHECKED. f. reset time doesn't matter.

9 hit start. it should take less than 10 seconds. when you get 'pass, reset and rqt closed you are done. I'd wait for removed as well. the pass and reset will appear in the large box in upper left, and the rqt closed and removed will be in the large box on the lower left.

reboot int recovery, then get into cwm as you have been trying.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickeneaterguy:
I looked at the similar threads but they didn't help.

I've had my Transformer for about a month. I rooted it and installed Prime 1.6 (I think) when I first got it and just recently cleared everything out and did Revolver 2.0. I liked revolver but I wanted to try out Prime 1.7 Bets so I did all of those cleanup functions in CWM involving the cache, battery stats, etc.

I recently flashed to Prime 1.7 and I now have a question mark on my battery. I also am unable to use my keyboard dock EXCEPT for using it for USB, SD, and charging. None of the keys do anything.

In addition to the issues above, if the charger is in, it will sometimes say the current battery life percentage and will indicate that it is charging but will still not allow use of the keyboard dock. I have tried doing nvflash to Prime 1.4 and HC 3.1 but the problems still persist.

I do not believe it is because of Prime 1.7 Beta, and am leaning more towards something I did on CWM.

Please help me out.

Edit: It won't let me post my version numbers because of the dots (looks like an IP/url) so I'll configure it differently:

Currently, my kernel is 2 6 36 3 android(at)Mercury #1 and my Build is HMJ37 prime_epad-1.7beta-20110728.

i know it's meant for working in a tough field, but, the ad campaign is a little over the top, no?

and ias i said mid-range, highest it captures in video is crappy 360p

[Off-topic] CasioCommando:
Casio Commando is fun.

I was watching a Ken Block, insane Gymkhana video, under water with my Casio Commando, in a creek at Brevard College, in Brevard North Carolina. The water temperature was ice cold on July 4th, 2011. You have to make sure all doors on the phone are closed so you will not damage the phone. The screen is very sensitive to the temperature of the water. The water will actually control the phone because the phone thinks the water is your fingers. So is takes practice to enter the phone into the water without stopping the video.

Check out my video on YouTube at Casio Commando Underwater.

To record videos underwater with the Casio Commando, you have to

1) call someone and stay on the call

2) start the camcorder recording

3) tap the power button to turn off the screen. The phone thinks the water is your fingers and

the water will control your phone to do weird things such as stop recording. The sound of the speakers on the phone gets clogged with water so it does not sound good until the water drains out of the speakers. I blow on the different doors and holes on the phone to clear the water so I can hear the speakers. I wait on the phone to dry

completely before charging again or opening the doors for any reason.

I would like for someone to create a new rom for the Casio Commando.
