[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimcr7:
If you press reboot in recovery, its boot to your rom or not?

Try wipe dalvik and fix permission.

And let me know if it solved.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffortissimo:
Reboot in xRecovery is to ROM.

Reboot from phone is with option 'reboot' not into recovery. The X10 doesn't support this.

Even when the phone is turned off, it boots into xRecovery.

I'll try Dalvik cache and permissions.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadows.X10i:
Do you have "RebooT Options Application (.Apk from market or anywhere not include with the Rom)" installed before..?

If you have..I think you need to Re-Flash the both Rom nor xRec..Remember to BackUp your data first..it's only take 15 mnt and you done..no more problem is you do it correctly..;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffortissimo:
Never heart of that app.

We don't reboot that often.. It's off or reboot.

Our X10's don't listen to other options I think :)

Can we edit media_profiles.xml in system/etc to trick or phones into recording in higher quality etc?

Sent From My EVO3D
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Very good timing on this question.

In our camera compression thread, where we are looking at methods of modifying the stock camera picture quality being saved, there was a post linking a camera mod for the sensation where they modify media_profiles to achieve higher video camera recording quality.

Given the sensation device shares a lot of similarities with our device, it would seem this might be a quick mod to achieve higher video recording qualities. The sensation camera mod thread has their modified media_profiles.xml files, which might be a direct drop in for our device, or might need to be slightly modified. The steps I would take and suggest:

1) Record a video at the stock settings to compare to after making modifications

2) Make a backup of the stock media_profiles.xml file from our device before making any changes.

3) Compare the modified sensation file to our stock file to look for the differences.

4) Implement adjustments on our media_profiles.xml file.

5) Record another video to compare to the original video.

Hope that helps! Let us know if you're able to dig deeper!
[HTC EVO 3D] fifedogg:
I used that file and it is working great so far. Just write over the stock media_profiles.xml file and try it out. So far so good. I opened up his flasheable zip and took that file out of there. When I flashed the zip the camera app wasn't working correctly and was always in 3d even in 2d mode.

If I could upload the file I would but the xda app won't let me.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] immortal283:
as topic, i just flash SBF and got error applying the update due to previous OTA.

so i follow the command: rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

but where do i enter this command when im only suppose to boot into recovery with only the 4 options available?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] NoJster:
You can enter commands like these either on your phone through an app like "Terminal Emulator", or via an adb shell through your computer.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] immortal283:
sorry for being noob, do i need to install anything?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
What are you trying to achieve? Flash custom Rom?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] immortal283:
im trying to install OR.

As i read from the dev forum, i will need to write that command if i ever did a OTA on my phone before..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
Dowload and extract OR to your sdcard.

Install vulnerable recovery sbf using rsdlite. Google for it and use the correct version based on your bootloader, 90.78 or 90.74

Once the phone switches off and before it shows the moto logo, press and hold the X button. It should show you triangle with exclamation mark. Press volume key and camera button. It should show you recovery menu. Choose the second option APPLY SDCARD UPDATE.ZIP.

OR will load now. Type the command after choosing console from menu.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] immortal283:
yes i did everything until the OR part, installation of OR failed due to signature verification failed.

from what i read i need to insert the command to remove some system file due to previous OTA.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] immortal283:
ok i got it, i thought the vulnerably recovery is the SBF 2.1.

sorry my mistake and thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] immortal283:
yea got it thanks!

anyway 1 quick question, do i get any confirmation message after i type in that command at the console?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] NoJster:
No, you won't get a confirmation. As with most linux commands, you'll only be notified in case something goes wrong. So no notification generally means that you're good to go (:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoollyBully:
Anybody had this problem?

I've had my GS2 for nearly 3 months and all has been well. Coming from a Motorola XT720, EVERYTHING is better including the battery life.

Last week I noticed that when connecting the charger, it took a long time for the phone to register that it was connected, ie. it didn't beep, light up and show the charging icon. It was also slow to recognize that the charger had been disconnected. (The charging icon would stay on for some time after.)

I thought a re-boot would help and it threw up the big battery charging icon flashing alternately with the battery over heating icon! Even pulling the battery wouldn't stop the warning message unless it was removed for at least a couple of hours or re-booting via Home, Vol+ and Power.

Whilst all of this was happening, battery life plummeted. I normally get about 1-3% loss of battery per hour in standby but this increased to 5-10% per hour.

The phone has somehow regained its normal response to the charger being connected and disconnected but the poor battery life remains.

Its un-locked, un-rooted and running KF3:KE7:KD1

Any ideas before I do a complete reset?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I would get a new battery to start with, if you UK, 7dayshop.com have an 1800mah for only. £4.49 delivered.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoollyBully:
Thanks. I forgot to mention that I've just bought an Andida "2000"mAh battery from Mobilefun. It's only had a couple charging cycles but it's behaving exactly the same as the original battery, which confuses things!

It could be that the problem is effecting it our it's just not working at it's full potential yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
Even the biggest best know battery manufactures cannot make a 2000mah battery to fit the S2 without needing a replacement back cover, the new Samsung 2000mah needs one.

So the Andida "2000"mAh battery , is more likely to be around 1500-1800mah
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoollyBully:
Yep, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Will probably return it and wait for the

official Samsung 2000 mAh.

Would still like to know what's going on with the sudden loss of battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
Since you have tried a second battery and the phone is acting the same way the fault must be with the phone, the charging socket is not loose or something?

Or maybe the phone charger is faulty, do you have a second to try?

It looks like you should try a reset before you seek refund/replacement.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilbert:
So I've used Corporate Sync with MotoBlur on the Atrix on 2.2 fine, and it worked just great. No issues whatsoever.

When flashing Gingerbread, I found that Corporate Sync again worked fine. *However*, my employer has an "encryption" requirement (along with the wipe permissions) that I would like to bypass. Mainly because allowing internal SD encryption basically cripples your phone's video capture resolution.

It looks like someone disabled these options in the stock email.apk here. But that's the stock email application, and it's for Froyo.

So I guess my question is, can I disable the email client as an administrator post-setup? If not, how does one go about hacking the MotoBlur email client as above? Or, if replacing it with the AOSP email.apk is an option, does anyone have that apk (minus encryption enforcement ability) for 2.3 somewhere? I couldn't find it by searching google or XDA.

Thanks.

Greetings.

Is there any way to add a ROM pack Spanish language United States?

Saludos.

Existe alguna manera de añadir a un ROM el paquete de lenguaje de Español Estados Unidos?
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
There already is Spanish in the Roms, no need to add an extra one for no good reason.

Also - this is development area, not the right place to ask.
[HTC Sensation] japerez5000:
Sorry I posted in the wrong section.

True, the Spanish found in most of the ROM, but few U.S. Spanish ROM there. And when choosing a Spanish corrections, dollar signs, commas and dots I swap them. For example, instead of say 3.5 to 3.5 I say in market rather than dollars in I get euros or pounds. That's why I want so that we can add to those who do not have Spanish ROM U.S. have the opportunity to add it. I appreciate the help you could provide.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] matrixloaded:
Hi all,

Just in case anyone is interested, I have ported HTC Desire's MMS apk to my ace running on GR v1.1.

Some features

1. Change app background black or white

2. Change attachment save folder

3. Custom User Agent (Spoof Phone as a different model for MMS, though i have

not used this so far)

4. Customize font size from list available

5. SMS template gestures

Edit 1: does not allow more than 11 contacts (sam's original did not allow more than 10) ... very bad :(

Screen shots attached.

MatrixLoaded

Edit 2: Steps and Apk attached

Standard disclaimer apply :) and most importantly below process will wipe your data so take a backup. (may be there is another way to put app without wipe but i know only this one :) sr. members, pls feel free to enlighten me of that process)

requirements

KPN FW (i have GR v1.1 so i think it should work on all KPN)

Rooted, deodexed, Root explorer or file explored and recovery 4.0.0.9

steps

1. take backup on your original mms.apk from system/app via root explorer

2. put attached MLmms.apk to your sd card

3. rename MLmms.apk to mms.apk

4. use root explorer and move renamed mms.apk to system/app (don't forget to mount rw)

5. put permission as r-xrwxr-x (after this you might not see the icon on the menu eg tw launcher in case you use it. but don't be afraid)

6. reboot into recovery and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET

7. reboot normally and you should see the new app.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] CallMeVentus:
Which means it's for KPN , right ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] consegregate:
Hmm i'll rather use our themed one. If we need extended functions i'll go for third party apps :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] adeklipse:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] matrixloaded:
Have not put in the link delibrately ... just tryin to see if its worth wasting everyone's time :D (personally i liked the font size and other stuff, but 10 contact limitation is killer)

In case you want the apk, i can share with steps ofcourse :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] adeklipse:
10 contact limitation? What does that mean? Does it mean it can only show 10 people on the conversations list? If so, I'm quite fine with that (I don't have many friends T_T)

[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
I'm opening this thread to share information about experiments with the new GB kernel with other devs/contributors of M2 community.

Based on the idea of dual-booting I managed today to get my phone running using system directly from an image on /data.

The base system installed is boot/devtree/recovery from signed GB Leak with Mostly Blurless ROM. I created an image from this same system with dd if=/dev/block/system of=/data/blurless.img.

I then edited bootmenu 2nd-int init.rc to:

- comment lines that mount /data and /system

- added the following lines:

mount ext3 mmc@userdata /data nosuid nodev noatime nodiratime barrier=0
mount ext3 loop@/data/blurless.img /system noatime nodiratime barrier=1

In init.mapphone_umts.rc:

- commented lines that remounts /system

- added following line:

mount ext3 loop@/data/blurless-system.img /system ro noatime nodiratime remount

In /system/bootmenu/scripts/2nd-init.sh:

#!/sbin/sh

######## BootMenu Script v0.8.6
######## Execute [2nd-init] Menu

export PATH=/sbin:/system/xbin:/system/bin

######## Main Script

rm /*.rc
cp -r -f /system/bootmenu/2nd-init/* /
cp -fp /system/bootmenu/binary/2nd-init /sbin/
chmod 755 /*.rc
#chmod 755 /system/bootmenu/binary/2nd-init
chmod 755 /sbin/2nd-init

umount /acct
umount /mnt/asec
umount /dev/cpuctl
umount /dev/pts
umount /mnt/obb

## sbin cleanup
## move post_bootmenu.sh

#/system/bootmenu/binary/2nd-init
umount -l /system
/sbin/2nd-init
exit

Works fine and system is really mounted on loopback device after boot. Now I want to mount on init.rc /data as a bind fs. Does anyone know how to do that as a init.rc script command?

As a test I tried

mount ext3 bind@/data/system /mnt/data

but it didn't work :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
Ok. I found a way to do that mounting data first as /mnt/data then mounting loopback system. with system ready I can mount bind /data with the following command:

exec /system/xbin/busybox mount -obind /mnt/data/rom/blurless-data /data

I'd like better to mount this with a native init command if anybody knows how to, but for the moment this will do.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] pat972:
It doesn't work because bind is not supported by the original mount command ?

Anyway, may be you can do symlink with the data directory .

But good job allowing us to test img system without breaking existing one !
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
Trying now to boot MIUI on a second system image I get the following error:

08-26 21:06:40.773 2971 2979 E FramebufferNativeWindow: couldn't open framebuffer HAL (No such device)

I'm not sure if this error was caused by kernel incompatibility or by some special file libsurfaceflinger could not find. Doing strings | grep on libsurfaceflinger.so from miui I could find this references:

/dev/tty0

/sys/android_power/wait_for_fb_sleep

/sys/android_power/wait_for_fb_wake

/sys/class/graphics/fbcon

/sys/power/wait_for_fb_sleep

/sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake

Maybe we can map old devices to new devices (ln -s) at run time and make it work but I don't know exactly how to map them.

Edit: I am unable to create anything in /sys, even mounting it as RW. Does n1 know what I should do?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Emacore:
Yeah! You rule!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] pat972:
Ok. for your system find all it needs, you have to "bind" (by anyway i think) /proc and /sys . Like a normal linux when you do a chroot. I don't know the exact order of execution of your script, but before anything else, you must have proper /proc , /sys ,/dev . For example, here it what we need in to do in linux,

#!/bin/bash

mount --bind /dev /répertoire-vers-votre-chroot/dev

mount --bind /dev/pts /répertoire-vers-votre-chroot/dev/pts

mount --bind /dev/shm /répertoire-vers-votre-chroot/dev/shm

mount -t proc none /répertoire-vers-votre-chroot/proc

mount -t sysfs none /répertoire-vers-votre-chroot/sys

As you can't bind them with mount, try the symlink , it might work (i dont see why not) . These directories are created by the kernel , maybe there are other in android , i don't know.

Try that and let me know , it should do the trick ! :)

Edit: i read too fast! It couldnt be that, as you dont change / .
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n3ptun3:
Isn't MIUI and CM7 running on top of froyo kernel/dev tree?

I remember I got the same HAL issue when I tried to run unsigned GB on froyo kernel. I assume trying to run froyo based rom's on 2.3.4 kernel will show the same issues.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
Hm... maybe you're right. The new nightly CM from Defy should work with GB kernel I think.

Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n3ptun3:
I wouldn't bet on it. 2nd-init might be GB ready, but Defy's CM7 is still built over a froyo base. If I have time this weekend I'll experiment on D2G CM7 with GB base.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lutis:
Just let GB kernel boot CM7. ch-2.2 kernel suck in touch screen.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Endless7:
I can't boot CM7 0826 nightly bulid with both ch-2.2.2/GB kernels. Anyone know why? The author has changed the 2nd-init?

Edit: I think I know why. The author delete 2nd-init in /binary. So we need to change the boot method to 2nd-boot. GB kernel isn't suported yet.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] stargo:
That seems to be a mistake and was fixed in 3e3c820adecf812e3dfea872a184f5f428fd4fbc (Allow 2nd-init support with bootmenu, which is stored in system image). It was caused by heavy restructuring of the motorola common boot-code in the CM7 repository. Just copy my 2nd-init into the binary directory, and you should be fine.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
It's a good idea, as I can bind filesystems using busybox mount. It needs just some engineering into 2nd-init script like copying busybox to /sbin and forcing umount of /dev /proc and /sys, but it can be done.

How do I clone /sys to some other folder like /data/sys? I tried with 'cp -a' but it doesn't work fine. As I see I have to clone /sys and make some symlinks on this clone. Then I bind it with original /sys on init.rc. Is that right?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] pat972:
I would not unmount /dev /proc and /sys, they are closely related to kernel init, in linux desktop it the first thing rc.sysinit does.

I was thinking more to something like "ln -s /sys/ /data/sys" , and one other solution i've just tested, is to do a "mount -n -t sysfs sys /data/sys -o nosuid,noexec,nodev" ! The difference for me is that with the mount command you'll not be able to umount /data/sys until reboot ! With the symlink you can just rm it when you finish.

The bind option is usefull cause when you do a chroot, you don't have access the other part of the system , so i'm not sure the symlink method work in that case. i'll ask and tell you.

Edit : I confirm It's that well about bind and chroot. and it seems to me , you can't create file in /sys , the kernel create them and you can read/change values. If you create one, it will not be taken in account by the kernel.

Also can you light up my lantern, which script in /system is called after the 2nd-init to launch the MIUI ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
When you use bootmenu to start 2nd-init it will run a script called /system/bootmenu/script/2nd-init.sh. The last line of this script is 2nd-init binary itself. When you call 2nd-init binary it forks init on top of itself causing something like a hot restart. So, what 2nd-init script does is remount / as RW and copy new init.rc, init.mpaphone_umts.rc and init binary to /. Then it calls 2nd-init binary in order to use your custom files instead of stock ones. You can do anything you like on init.rc, as I did to boot MIUI from a loopback device. Unfortunately MIUI was compiled for froyo kernel and can't find some devices it needs to work. Thats why I need to create symlinks inside /sys and I think I already found a way to do that. Will test and explain that later.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] pat972:
Ok thanks !
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
Even with the new symlinks the system is unable to boot. As I suspected it is far more complicated then just adding links to /sys, too bad. I think the only way we have to boot multi-systems with multi-kernels (like miui on froyo and stock on gb) will be using kexec hack. n1 know if some group already found a way to run kexec on milestone or milestone2?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] pat972:
You can't rebuilt miui over a generic 2.6.32 kernel ? Well i'm a total newb in rom dev, i assume the officiel ginger from google won't work, you must have some specific hardware stuff ! For kexec it seems they have some driver problem, but since you want to boot the moto kernel may be it'll be easier !
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
MIUI is closed source, so only team members are able to rebuilt it :)

Do you know how can I use kexec to boot moto kernel?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Zuljin:
This is illegal - violation of GPL license. If they modified Linux kernel they should give users source code to those modifications.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
Yeps, it's illegal. MIUI group is chinese and they don't seem to care about it. They are even creating a new phone called MI-One, based on android, running MIUI, but tagged with their brand.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] pat972:
Not exactly, I'll search and let you know !
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
Stargo tried to implement kexec for M2 (check his git repo, the same that has the debounce.ko source), but it didn't work because moto kernel doesn't implement /proc/atags. So stargo quit the devlopment... he explained better in his repo and in the keyboard fix thread.

I've googled a lot about this and every kexec project failed...

Droid X's kexec is the most developed.

Maybe the situation changed with GB leak or CH-Froyo kernel. :)

[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
Not github, stargo uses a server from his university I think.

Google ms2-kexec, or look for ms2debounce sources inside the keyboard fix thread. They are on the same git repo.
