radio - signal, data speeds, possible battery benefits as a result

kernel (brains of the operation) - overclocking, undervolting, governors, etc. Battery benefits as a result as well.
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
The Radio affects signal strength mostly. Some Radios are better than other and help you achieve better reception (from what I understand).

The Kernel is the "core" of the OS (Android). It acts as a "bridge" between applications and hardware. Different kernels support overclocking (making your device run faster than manufacturer's specs), battery improvements (making the battery hold a better charge).

Always do a nandroid backup before you flash anything (if that's what you intend to do).
[XPERIA X8 General] Padlite:
Hi there! Sorry if this was asked before, I couldn't find anything for X8.

As we all know, having 3.5mm audio jack on our X8 allows to connect almost every headset, but we lose the functionality of skipping tracks with the headset control that many other phones have.

I'd like to remap the camera button, when locked, to skip current track.. Is it possible?

-Cheers!
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
In CM7 you can enable skipping tracks with volume buttons.
[XPERIA X8 General] Padlite:
Thanks! I didn't know that. I have Froyobread which I think it includes CM6.

I also though about upgrading to Gingerbread (GingerDX). Now I really think this will be worth it :D
[XPERIA X8 General] orangzeb:
i can skip tracks while using poweramp with my handsfree :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Padlite:
Well, but your handsfree has some kind of button, right?. The included with my phone hasn't any buttons at all.. Anyway, I'm downloading GingerDX :D
[XPERIA X8 General] orangzeb:
Ya it has only one button, but to tell the truth the original handsfree which came along with my x8 also has not button at all, so I bought HKT chinese handsfree music is 4 times louder than the original one ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] Padlite:
Cool! So, theoretically, any 3.5mm plug headset with button may work? Or yours has that strange connector that Sony implemented?
[XPERIA X8 General] orangzeb:
this is what I have (maybe not exact pic, taken from internet) so I think any handsfree with a button will work with poweramp and winamp... hold button to skip.

and it's so cheap here, you can buy it in 1$ = 90 Rs. almost
[Desire Themes and Apps] bogdanene06:
hi,

i have a problem with my desire:a few weeks ago i installed cm 7.01 rc via rom manager and today, when i tried to install some apps (e.g. angry birds), i received an error ("Not enough free space"), allthough i have 31 mbs free on phone memory and a couple of hundreds mbs on my sd card.

any idea on what could cause that error?
[Desire Themes and Apps] xybadog:
31MB seems pretty low on phone for CM7 ROM but it should still be enough because the lower threshold is about 15MB. Try moving some apps to SD Card, even temporarily and try reinstalling Angry Birds.

What version of Angry Birds are you trying to install? If it's RIO this needs quite a lot of space and I had many problems installing it even with 25MB free on a previous ROM. I have over 100 apps and have 78MB free using CM7.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
sorry, but that's rubbish. android comes last when pimping this phone.

-

important:

flash hardspl first (to allow flashing custom roms made by xda-cooks)

- flash a recent 6.5 custom-rom found in rom-dev (i'd suggest "dynamics" by ultrashot or "826x" by williyung

- find out for yourself which type of rom you prefer (plain winmo 6.5, or with htc sense); there are other cooks as well, but always have a look at the release-date of a rom - you shouldn't flash stuff from a year ago, roms weren't that smoothly back then.

now before you start:

always read the forum-stickies first and follow instructions closely!

android isn't really for daily use yet, nevermind what some people will tell you. ;)

[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
I just saw this clip on youtube. Is there anyway we could get this to the Xperia Play maybe?
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
If you've checked the video's forewords, it has a link to the MoDaCo thread where you can install it. It seems to need a CWM script if I recall correctly, so read it a bit. It should be nice to try it and you won't break anything.
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
kinda looks like iOS LAME :)

Bit ugly for my liking.
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
Yeah i clicked on the link, but i didn't get how to install it. And if you read the comments the guy is saying it doesn't work on phones, because it doesn't have a phone function ect. That's why i asked if someone could build something like it? maybe steal the script and rewrite it for android phones.
[Xperia Play General] lyricalchaos:

What files are kernel dependent

Most of all which script controls the booting of the rom

I'm used to x10 and it was a chargemon script?
[Defy Android Development] rdannar:
Bump

Nobody knows?

I am looking for the dozen or so files that are Motorola kernel dependent so I can port roms with updater edify scripts... I have ported many roms for x10 but the kernel files were well known.. I can do it but much easier if someone has the files listed.. any help would be appreciated and save me much time.

Cheers
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Not sure it will answer your question but with the Defy we found the kernel and the devtree to be very close friends. Devtree is a special partition in the phone and when flashing a stock boot.IMG we have to flash the devtree from the same Rom so everything hopefully work fine.

Then in the boot.img you will find the kernel and ramdisk with init.RC scripts which start the system.
[Android Software Development] bendoe91z28:
Hey guys,

I'm considering taking some classes and reading some books to begin to learn how to program in java. I was trying to think of a metaphor that would allow me to understand how complicated it is... This is the best I came up with

Right now, I feel like a two year old learning english... I can say some words, and I kind of know what they mean.

But what do I have ahead of me.

Is writing a basic program comparable to a two year old writing a 100 page book? 1000 pages?

thanks.
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
I wouldn't say its comparable to learning to write or speak a new language. Its learning logic, the words we use to describe the logic is really irrelevant to the program. It may enable some functions or make it so our brain can easily recognize patterns but the java language in the end is irrelevant, its the ideas of object oriented programming and logic that our far more important. Java is more of a brush in which you paint with.

It really isn't that hard, just start with the basics.

From something awesome
[Android Software Development] iynfynity:
All I can say is it's similar to any other skills. It will be easy when you always practice.
[Android Software Development] :
I'm not sure how college CS classes are now, but before we ever coded, we took logic, flowcharting, desk-checking, program flow, pseudo code, hierarchy charts and modular programming.

As I've progressed in my career, I've learned probably 7 other languages on top of the C/C++ I first learned. Learning the syntax of a language is somewhat trivial compared to what I stated above and what killer wrote.

For me, it's seeing the program in my head; where I want to go and how to get there.
[Android Software Development] notasimpleway:
I had to take program design, logic, and methodology classes before taking any programming class. Even before HTML. But it really helped. Learning programming logic and learning how a program is developed without being overwhelmed with learning the language as well was quite helpful. Once I got to programming real code, I understood logic(a lot more than I did) and terms. It allowed me to focus on just learning how the language worked. I don't recommend learning Java as your first language. But it was my first. Well, if you don't count HTML/XHTML. I don't. ;) But if you are dedicated and looking to challenge yourself , you can pick it up. Good luck.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
Like many of you, I just updated to KG3 after being on JVQ for a brief period.

Well I did my firmware upgrade from KIES, and I noticed the Bell Bloatware is not there. Thats my first question... is yours?

Secondly, when I boot into recovery (method has changed... its now VolupANDVoldown+Home+Power), my screen looks like this:

Android system recovery <3e>

Enter: OK Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down

reboot system now

apply update from sdcard

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

-----------------------------

now in yellow, printed here in black as it may be hard to see:

-- Copying media files...

Successfully copied meida files.

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Appling Multi-CSC...

Installing Multi-CSC

Can't access to '/system/csc/KOR/system/'.

Successfully applied CSC.

Ok.. so other than the blatent spelling errors in that screen, anyone else getting that part in bold regarding the can't access?

I've tried finding this elsewhere with no success, so I'd thought I'd start a thread to get a definitive answer.

So its really a 3 parter.

1. Do you have your bloatware?

2. Do you see the same recovery screen as above?

3. When you select in recovery "Apply update from sdcard" does it ask you were the file is? Sort of like show you a directory?

Please guys.. let me know... I just want to make sure that KG3 is fully as I see it, and there's nothing missing.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
did not use Kies but flashed using Odin: I have JVR pda and KG3 modem and csc, rooted with damian's kernel and using Brotuck's Tornado kernel -- all is in synch and working without any issues, no bloatware and with outstanding speed and stability.

From what I read in your post, you were on JVQ which was an earlier non-BMC version of GB, so the Kor is the default csc on the phone. Kies is attempting to update your system to the first BMC GB, which means it is expecting to move from Froyo and wants to use its own bootloaders etc.

When you use Kies to upgrade, your phone is not clean, nor will a fctory reset fully remove the residual parts of jvq on it -- such as the previous Kor csc.

Ok, that my understanding of where you are. Options? I see 3 choices:

1. roll back to the previous BMC 2,3 Froyo, which will reinstate the BMC csc and clean the phone when you use Kies to upgrade to KG3 as Kies will build on the BMC csc, install its bloatware and the GB versions of KG3 -- stock to stock upgrade within Kies, phone will be unrooted.

2. Flash the KG3 pda, modem and csc files within Odin which will give you the correct csc but no the bell bloat. You can then root with a custom kernel if you wish.

3. do a complete clean install, using Odin ( I can give you a link to the instructions if you pm me) ending up with KG3 installed, complete clean system, no residual issues. Then flash custom kernel and rom.

Option 3 is best. Option 1 stays on stock. Option 2 is stock and should work but not guaranteed to be issue free as the phone is not completely clean.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
If you are still showing KOR, boot phone, in dialer typer, *#272*"your imei"# this should show you about 3 or 4 options, select BMC and then hit install afer abour a 2 second delay the phone should reboot and install all the bloatware =) and also solve your other problems.. this does to a factory reset as well

Ok, first off I like most of the new tw features and haven't had any major problems. I have 2 minor annoyances tho. First, the stock browser keeps loading mobile websites even tho I did the about: debug thing I tried clearing the data and factory reset. This will help for a little while but next time I open the browser it is loading mobile sites again. Dolphin and opera work fine.

Second problem is with market app. When I first open the app next to all the categories should be a ">" icon you can click to go into that category. Like Free Apps >, Paid Apps > etc. but mine doesn't have the > next to every category. Only certain ones. I cannot click on the categories without the >. Its the same with movies and books. Once again tried erasing app data and cleared my account and reentered it to no avail. Not sure if my settings are screwy or if it's re doing this.
