I can't just tell you straight off mate it'd take HOURS and HOURS of personal experience, you have to learn this yourself then you know things work, it's lazy to be taught ;) learning yourself is the best way forward!

As for github, i don't know i don't use kernels ;) but if you google it i'm sure there would be a good command list on there!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samuel2706:
Maybe it just isn't possible to do it then pal, i mean i am clutching at straws with this as i'm more of a HTC Android type of guy, installing android on android, i never messed with that phone before, if no one has responded maybe it's time to try something new pal? or get some more developers who know what they are doing in that department

Good luck pal
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] aldee_s:
thanks for answering mate.

well, i've been playing with surfaceflinger these days, that is to understand how could i optimize my device's performance without loosing much graphic quality.

my device is SE Xperia X8, its stuck on Eclair, thats why i want to make CM7 fully working on my phone, the devs on X8 section has already do that, but i want to learn it myself, and also there is 2D problem with Gingerbread on my device. We can tell that by using Quadrant Advance test, in stock 2.1 Eclair, the 2D scores up to 250-255 points, in Froyo (CM6, we port it too), the 2D scores about 240 (if im not mistaken), but in Gingerbread, it only scores maximum of 220, the obvious thing is when Quadrant tests the 2D performance, on gingerbread, it can only reach 13-14 FPS, while in Froyo or stock Eclair, it reach 16 FPS. what i want to ask is, what caused it? and what files that are related to that (2D performance, driver)?

as for git problem, i already search google, and try it out, but still can't commit my change to github. :(

Thank you very much :D

Roms and Dev.

I have the samsung droid charge with GummyCharged_GBE_1.8 loaded. There is a newer version 1.9. Do I have to do anything special to upgrade to 1.9 or can I just use Odin? Am I going to lose my data or will the update just overwrite? Does this process work if I want to switch to another Rom or do I have to do different steps?

What are the best books or programs to use to learn how to develop for droid? Complete noob with languages, last language I wrote in was Qbasic

Unroot Samsung Epic 4G

Hello, so I had someone root my phone but they are no longer available to unroot it. It is rooted but there is no custom ROM installed. I need to take it back to Sprint to get the charging port replaced. First, without a custom ROM installed, how will the company know that it's rooted if I uninstall the superuser, backup and wireless tether apps? Shouldn't I keep the backup app on the phone or just reinstall after it is returned to me? Does Sprint install an app to check if each phone is rooted? I heard that half the time the employees don't know. Also, I have a Mac. Should I use someone's PC for this? Can it be done with my computer? I'm worried that I'm going to mess it up. And if the company can tell, does it go into the system as voided so that I won't be able to take it to another store?

I'm looking to learn how to create custom roms for devices.

Currently, all I am playing with is the Android SDK, but I do not know where to start with these.

I have tried to use the cyanogenmod guide to download their emulator on "Android SDK Emulator: Compile CyanogenMod (Linux)", but it does not work for me as it says I have modified the API check file and I have no idea how to bypass that.

So now I am stuck with modifying from the normal AVD with the default API's.

However, where does one start if one wants to learn to create custom roms?

I've seen online kitchens, but as they do the work for you, I dont see what is being done.

Any help with this would be very useful.

Many thanks!

Re-root Coby Kyros 7024

Hello Samuel!

I successfuly rooted my 7024 once, by using only Z4mod 1.3.0 on a stock Froyo. I managed to downloaded this .apk plus other files needed to install the Google Market from a portuguese written forum and I was also successful.

The problem is: I made the terrible mistake to turn off my PC while the tablet was connected by USB. I think it corrupted the filesystem, but the tablet still working and booting as usual. But all the programs I installed were damaged... none of them works at all now. They work again if I reinstall them.

I installed the AVG Mobilation antivirus from Market and I think it installed a patch that prevents Z4Mod root the device again (Every time I run Z4 now, right after the program says "Acquiring root shell" the tablet reboots...).

I can't root again to install the files needed to access Google Market. The Appslib that came with the stock O.S. sucks, so I need Market back, hehehe

Is there any workaround to that situation? Do you need any other info? Feel free to give me keywords to google around. I must learn something useful, hehehe.

Thanks in advance!

Hi!!

First I think it's great that you take the time to answer and help people!!

Now with the question, I have a Samsung Galaxy mini (GT-S5570L) from Latin America, (that's the L in the phone model) which is different from European versions in the frecuencies it uses. I'm stuck on Froyo since Latin America did not received a Gingerbread update. All the modem and frequencies info is contained in a file named "amss" for samsung phones but I think it has information on the filesystem too... Un fortunately an "amss" file from Froyo won't work for Gingerbread hence the "stuck" part.

The question would be, do you know what exactly the "amss" file in a Samsung ROM is? Or where I can find information about them? I have googled a lot and found nothing so far... Also a way to decompress/decompile them would be great

Hope I was clear, if not please let me know. Many thanks in advance for your time.

Samuel, you are awesome for starting this thread :)

I do have a question...I'm new to developing and I'm happy with my progress code wise, I'm learning, but all my UI elements look...cheap. What software do you use or do people generally use for making UI elements like buttons, backgrounds, etc? I have photoshop, so either I'm awful with photoshop or there is some other software I should try out.

I know that talent and an eye for design is essential, but is there some software better suited for the task of designing a UI?

Thanks again!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] splattx_x:
what is "2.3.3 Roll-out updates" is it a thread in this forum? I've searched but found none with that name, can you please provide a link?

It's the file contained in the "MODEM" file in a four file flash procedure in ODIN 4.xx for Samsung phones. It has no extension and I haven't been able to unpack it so far, I did the nm dynamic thing and got:

$ nm --dynamic amss

nm: amss: No symbols

the little I have been able to find on the web is that it's some kind of binary file. If I view it in hex sometimes pieces of code show up.

EDIT: it is indeed a binary file, I ran "file" on it

$ file amss

amss: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1, statically linked, corrupted section header size

I'll have to keep digging then... perhaps it's encoded and that's way way above my level right now.

Thanks for your help!!

Pioneer Dreambook ePad 7 - Complete n00b, be gentle

I've been searching these forums and the Internet at large and found little information, so I'm hoping you can help me.

I have in my possession a Pioneer DreamBook ePad 7. More info here (pioneercomputers.com.au/products/info.asp?c1=183&c2=185&id=3172), but that page seems to show a later model. This one has the same specs, but is running Android 1.6. I'm looking to root the device, and upgrade the Android version to 2.2 or higher (if possible).*

I tried SuperOneClick and OneClickRoot to root the tablet, but I can't even find the USB drivers for the DreamBook and these tools fail before they begin. So I'm stuck and lost before I've even begun. Can you help, or at least give me a nudge in the right direction?
