http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/

refer this thing first. I think u did the (installing wrong version of rom for your bootloader kind of mistake)

Assuming that you installed the driver => (check nvflash section about how to install driver), i might want to remind you that apx mode looks blank , u can't tell the difference. But once you run nvflash you should see a line in the tablet in apx mode

Check the site I told you, everything (the stuck in birds thing) is there

Btw, if you happen to able to recover, I would advise you to install Vegan Tab 7.10 by gojimi, it's the stable and updated version of vegan 5.11
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyspraks:
Thanks! And watch out for McAfee

Heyall, thanks for the advice pointing back to the dummies site. I cleared all my previous downloads, started from scratch, and have vegantab 7.1 loading now.

One note for others out there having trouble with their computer recognizing the tablet in APX mode - I think my anti-virus (McAfee, don't blame me, it came free from work) was blocking the tablet from linking up. I've had the problem before with McAfee where it'll allow something to link the first time (usually with an online game) but then later will block it, asking for permission.

Anyways, if you're ever in the Ft. Worth area, I owe you a beer. Thanks again

I would assume this is the rightt place to post this...

Time and time again, i see devs putting in DUPLICATE lines in build.props....

THEY CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT!!

THE BUILD.PROP GOES OFF THE FIRST ENTRY AND STICKS WITH IT

Therefore if your first lines are:

ro.ril.hsxpa = (2)

ro.ril.gprsclass = (10)

and if you have it a couple pages down in your build.prop as:

ro.ril.hsxpa = (3)

ro.ril.gprsclass = (12)

IT GOES OFF THE FIRST ONES..

ro.ril.hsxpa = (2)

ro.ril.gprsclass = (10)

THEREFORE THE ONES AT THE END OF THE BUILD.PROP ARE NOT ACTIVE (NOT RECOGNIZED) !! ONLY THE FIRST ONES.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR BUILD.PROPS FOR DUPLICATES!!..

SOMETIMES THE LITTLE THINGS ARE THE BIGGEST THINGS...

I have noticed significant speed increase in data and speed when i delete the lower end values that are duplicates..

[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
Sorry for posting a whole new thread for this. I poked around with the search, however I figure the developers that are doing stuff for the Infuse have a lot on their plates to be able to write out a tutorial for this individual phone forum.

But, I have absolutely 0 experience in making a rom for anything. I have flashed Infused on my Infuse. This is my first Android device and I really love the customizability over the iOS software (previous phone). I know Gingerbread is just around the corner but I would love to take my first few steps towards developing with a rom thats been out already. This way by the time I get a better grip of things I can maybe transfer these skills to the new version.

If anyone can be so kind, Ide appreciate it if the helpful devs could maybe point me to some links with the necessary files and programs/files that are needed to build a custom rom. As well as maybe some tutorial threads or videos.

Anybody feel free to shoot me some useful links if possible. Thanks so much in advance! Cant wait to contribute.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Uncle Irish:
Mikeymike had something you're looking for in the Captivate forum. Can't find the thread on my phone but it was basically a how to thread. Good stuff if ur interested
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
This should be in Q&A. But yeah, MikeyMike has a tutorial somewhere.

In my opinion - start off small. Get familiar with making customizations to a ROM (theming, app replacement, etc) and then grow from there. Don't bite off more than you can chew.

Thanks so much guys. Sorry I was totally debating on whether to post this there but I thought that maybe the devs dont frequent that section.

Please do move this thread if possible.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
Ok so I have one last question.

Is it better/easier to build the rom using an ubuntu virtual machine, dual boot ubuntu, or a Mac OSX Lion virtual machine in Windows 7?

I have the option to run any one of these types of systems. Unfortunately I do not have a Mac available, so Im wondering if it is even possible to build the source using a Mac VM seeing as how there are certain types of partitions necessary.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iphone4:
I'd dual boot windows and Linux

Samsung infuse running gingerbread!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Dual-booting Linux is your best bet. VMs mean that if you eventually get as far as doing kernel or AOSP/Cyanogenmod compiles, you'll have less RAM available, and also sometimes accessing USB devices (such as to use ADB or Heimdall) is a bit of a pain with VMs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
Awesome thanks a bunch guys i just got my ubuntu dual boot set up but i don't seem to have a working Linus driver for my trendnet wifi adapter.

But i have downloaded the infuse 4g source and im about to start setting up the build components from the android website.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Well, there are two routes to building ROMs right now:

1) Start from a Samsung ROM - there is source to the kernel and a few small parts of the userland stack available, but most of it is lacking source. Most custom ROMs available here are created by taking the stock Samsung ROM and tweaking them - removing apps, adding others, or attempting to bring apps from other devices to ours.

2) Cyanogenmod 7 - this is a source build, HOWEVER - it is not complete, open-source reimplementations of some Samsung stuff is not complete, so some features (like Bluetooth) are broken

A lot of ROM devs (those that work on Samsung-derived ROMs) don't even have a copy of Samsung's source code release as it's not useful to them. (Exception are those of us who do kernel work.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
It's not something you can just jump into. To do it properly, you need patience and a willingness to spend a lot of time researching a lot of different things.

1) Some things are easier to do in Linux and other things are best done in Windows due to some tools only being available for Windows. It's best to have both.

2) Learn how to dump the system partition (using the dd command) and mount/extract the resulting factoryfs.rfs on your computer.

3) Learn the /system folder structure. Explorer the files in each folder and try to figure out what those files are.

4) Find and learn how to use a script or program that can deodex the apps and framework from the extracted system image.

5) Learn the structure of flashable zips and what all of the commands in updater-scripts do. Easiest way to do this is to download a bunch of roms and look at their folder structure and updater-scripts. Google commands in them that you do not understand.

6) Learn which apps can be removed and replaced without consequence. If you can't figure out exactly what a particular apk does, best to leave it alone.

7) Experiment with changing build prop entries to see what some of them do.

8) Learn how to manually decompile and compile the dex portion of apk and jar files. Use smali and baksmali for this. This lets you modify app and framework code, but the decompiled smali can be a bit confusing. Try to learn how to read it. Try this AOSP lockscreen mod tutorial.

9) Learn how to use a program that can decompile and compile entire apps, including resources. Apktool is a good program and APK Manager is a good front end for it. Look through all of the folders in the resources (res) directory of a decompiled app. Learn which images and types of files are in each folder. There are a ton of xml files that do various things in the resource folders. Open a bunch of them up and learn some basic xml structure so you can see what all that xml is doing. Most visual app mods are done via xml. Here's a slightly more advanced mod tutorial than the AOSP lockscreen was: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811532

10) Learn proper apk compression techniques. Though it works, just dropping images into apks via 7zip and calling it a day isn't really the right way to theme. The default Android Asset Packaging Tool (used by the Android SDK to package apps) does not compress certain file types, including images. This is because images, especially pngs, typically do not compress a great deal anyways and the added cpu time it takes to decompress those images at app launch makes the total app loading time longer than if the images were uncompressed, even if they are slightly larger. Also, compressing some file types, like oggs and system objects, too much can even cause the app to not be able to load them. See here for a handy script to repack apks with proper compression: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123463

I could go on forever, but that should point you in the right direction. At least you know some of the basics you need to learn now even if I didn't tell you exactly how to do each thing. Remember, Google will be your best friend. Use it. A lot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
Man I really appreciate this so much gtg. Its exactly the kind of encouragement i was hoping for. I just get a general sense of excitement when thinking of all the different possibilities in both Rom and app development. And seeing as how im and artist first, its awesome to know that ill down be able to be a double threat in both designing the look of, and building the Rom myself.

I can't thank you enough for pointing me in the right direction. Maybe one day someone will put together a kitchen for the Infuse. Until then ill be happy to dive into all the nitty gritty.

[HD2 General] seizitp:
Hi!

My phone was working fine when I was using MIUI NAND ROM. But whenever I switched onto data connection it used to hang and the only solution left was pull out the battery..

So I changed the ROM back to stock W6.5 (R - 2.15.50.14 D-3.14)

Now the problem is Phone works fine for say 10-15 mins and then it restarts itself. At this point after restarting it gives 7 vibrations and then gets stuck at HTC logo.

Then when I keep my phone switched off for say 5-10 mins it again starts normally but only for 10-15 mins..

This happens with Android as well as Stock W6.5 ROM..

Does anyone has a fix on this??

I need my phone in normal condition desperately..

Hey all,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
ROM Manager does NOT work on Milestone. You need to flash the 2.2 Vulnerable Recovery from android.doshaska.net/rootable and then place OpenRecovery on the SD Card, root the phone from OR, and flash your custom ROM that way.

What errors are you getting from OR?

I am getting this error when I am trying to apply the update.zip:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

Also cant figure out why I am getting "H", instead of 3G. I see two versions of sbf (regular & service version). I used the regular 2.1, was that right?

Thanks

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
If you are looking only to root your phone, you dont need OR.

Universal androot and z4root, both work to root your phone.

Difference between service & non-service edition is that non-service wipes your phone completely, while service does not.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
There is a 2.2.1 official update which you can get from the link below.

http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221

If you are looking at flashing custom roms, just install got 2.2.1 which has vulnerable recovery included. Then download FuFu OR which has more options to AOR 3.3, extract to sdcard, place your custom rom zip file in openrecovery/updates folder.

Reboot to recovery. Choose apply sdcard update.zip and your OR should boot up. Choose apply update option to flash your custom rom.

Note that ROM Manager and CWM do not work on the milestone.

I was trying out various TTS engines from the market, and when I went to uninstall one of them as soon as I pressed the uninstall button, it exited to the home screen. Now when I try to access the settings I get "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone"

Is there a way I can get another copy of the settings app? I really dont want to do a factory reset. My phone is rooted.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
What ROM are you running? The only one I've ever had that problem with is the stock RUU's. Only way I know how to fix it is either flash a different ROM or do a full wipe from the bootloader.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
I am unrooted stock, and I had a run of about a week, when I first got the phone, of bootloops, force closes, and missing system apps. One time, google core services disappeared. Two factory resets later, I have no issues at all. It's been about a month since then.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FotG:
I am using the stock ROM. I really want to try and avoid the factory reset if possible though
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
To avoid a reset you could root and put a stock Rom on there
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
The stock ROM seems to have issues with apps disappearing. I had that same issue, but with my alarm not working.

I'd recommend two things.

1. Only doing a factory reset will fix the issue. You will lose your data, there's no way around that.

2. Root your phone and install RMK's debloated ROM. You will still lose your data but you can do much more with your phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
If he backs up stuff before, like right after root. He could keep his stuff. It's what I did
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FotG:
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. If it's common with the stock ROM then I will just use a different ROM and hopefully avoid the issue happening again.

Hi guys! My usb port is messed up on my Nexus S 4g. It will charge, but will not get recognized in order to get into diag mode or mount SD. I believe the usb port has been bent. I have rooted and changed to hybrid prl 00001...was wanting to know if there was a way to use HWVSP in order to get a virtual com port and connect via my WLAN to QPST in order to change the PRL. I have made a Nandroid and a Titanium Backup and copied both folders to my computer. I have thought about doing a full factory reset on the phone to see if that would fix the PRL and then restore the backups to see if the PRL will revert back to my home PRL. I haven't decided what to do about the USB port yet. I am pretty good at soldering, but nothing that small! I thought about just factory resetting the device and then taking it to sprint to see if they could repair it. Any thoughts? Thanks!

[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Need more details like rom, kernel, phone version, how old phone/battery is. Also, for starters charge phone fully and then run down battery to 5% and charge fully again, and run down low again and charge fully again. This should calibrate battery. If nothing improves then it could be rom, app, kernel that is screwing with you. In the unlikiely event trying all these solutions doesn't help, your battery might be fried and not holding charges well, or you have a hardware probelm that sucks up juice.

Anybody know what is the cost for repair? I recognize that it will not be under warranty, and I may need to pay a penalty besides - which is completely sad, because in my dumbness I made a complete tar backup of the system and know what needs to be restored to fix it. It would take less than five minutes if I had access to the system. It is entirely the bootloader and inability to access the file system that is stopping me from fixing it.

Except, in my panic, adrenalin, and stupidity, after having broken it I then proceeded to factory reset. It's now trying to activate, and failing. I cannot get into AB Load mode, because debugging is now turned off.

Sad thing is, with the radio fix to let hotspots work - which worked beautifully - I had little reason other than bloat removal to root it at all.
