[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingolianbeef:
PFroyjr, das harshly put man, (OUCH) hey A.D. , the best way (in a mannerable way of saying wat pfroyjr jus said man) , is to do the old fashioned trial and error! The BEST advice I can give (because I will be using it also) is to find "Android Development for Dummies" , you can either download the PDF (legally or illegally is your decision) or go to a library and find it (download is your best bet, though.) It gives very in depth info on android deving, and is a great help! Otherwise, you can download a kitchen (go to theunlockr.com and search android kitchen, or search the XDA forums for one that somebody created) and start cooking lol.! Hopefully, ur gonna git a magnificent dish. I doubt that we use the same phone but you hav my support 100% from one dev in training to another

Hope this helps,

Ognimnella :-)

LOL..

sorry I don't understand your question :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfroyjr:
Sorry it was an off day LOL. The for dummies book is good but the biggest issue I see people learning dev is Linux. Pick up a good book on Linux and setup your pc/mac with the appropriate software. Best of luck and if you have any specificquestions I know there are lots of great people here to help, but Google first ;)

I disagree...unless your doing something with the kernel you don't need linux at all.

sent from my uncyanogen modded epic 4g. with the key skips.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfroyjr:
You still need to understand how the system works. Side note since you mentioned kernels....most newer ROMs have certain kernels that work and some that don't. The dev process is about learning how it ALL works not just how to theme a ROM someone else made.

No offense but any moron can follow directions on how to modify someone's work and not know HOW it works. True talent is by understanding and creating something new and original even if based on someone else's idea.

Hence I say learn Linux at least enough to understand
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingolianbeef:
I agree with the both of them. Windows and Linux are like riding a bike vs. Riding in a car, its like 2 completely different ways of getting to the same thing, just one is faster than the other! Now my only objection to pfroyjr's statement is that http://www.cygwin.com gives windows the main pieces of Linux! I have yet to use it, but from what I understand, its probably gonna save you a couple of Gigs in PC memory vs. Partitioning your hard drive to dual boot or installing a virtual machin via Virtual Box! Unless you are talking about learning how to build a rom all the way from planting a seed to watching the tree grow, you probably don't need to know every piece of linux! Also, with the help of various things like APK manager (which breaks down the compiled XML files for editing using a regular text editor, rather than some complicated software) the sky is the limit when it comes to theming!

So, to sum up my statement, and kinda piggyback on what the other 2 said, if you just want a slightly different LOOK, then Linux is not necessary. But if your trying to take the future of ROMs to a whole new level, you either need Cygwin or, as pfroyjr said, Learn Linux!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annaluba:
Weheyyy! Hello to all you lovely helpers:):)

I am very happily rooted, s-off partitioned etc etc and have lovely new Insertcoin ROM!!........but........have another question, I hope someone would be kind enough to answer please, which is:-

My phones battery seems to have become quite poor (was poorish anyway) but now a little worse and am thinking its because of all the lovely Insertoin bits on it. I am wondering, my battery version is 5.11.05.27, and thought if I updated it to the most recent version would there be an improvement??? Also, occasionally experiencing a few dropped calls.....

Any info at all very appreciated.

P.S. If I have incorrectly started a new thread, sorry but I did search and nothing else came up!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parva4:
In my experience, no. Moving to a ROM like LeeDroid can make a massive difference. I personally love AcesMod for the full 'Sense HD' experience but the battery was bad and there were some FC's that I sufferred. Leedroid 3.3.3 doesn't give the full 'HD' experience but it's reliable and has exceptional battery life.

Stable signal - means better battery life.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
It can't hurt to change your radio to the most recent one to see if this will help out your battery life. I'm sure you already have but also look at your sync frequencies on things like email and weather as they can eat into your battery.

From what I've read, the sense based rom's will always eat a lot battery because there's so many processes going on in them all the time. For best battery life switch to an aosp rom.

If you want to flash the newest radio look here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464&highlight=radio

to get the newest one (5.17.05.23).

Then go here and get this...

which is a flash utility to use on your pc/laptop. Seems a lot of people use it to flash stuff onto their Desire (useful for flashing a new splash screen as well). I used it to flash my radio and all went smoothly.

You can try to aruge with them that the numbers you called were indeed mobile.phone numbers and pretend you weren't ever roaming and try to do this perhaps at a sprint store :p

[HTC EVO 3D] Malikione:
I'm surprised those prl threads are even allowed here as they are basically instructions to steal service/cost sprint tons of charges. And people wonder why the plan prices are going up?
[HTC EVO 3D] Febby:
It isn't really stealing it at all, it just forces our devices to roam on to Verizon towers which free roaming is part of our plans. The Plans are rising due to the demand of users increasing year after year and greedy companies who are convinced we NEED them. they require more money for better upgrades in service but sadly sprint seems to lack keeping up with their overhauled network. :p
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarWolfX0:
I was wondering if anyone knows how it is possible to connect an external GPS using the now hacked Bluetooth.

I saw no option in CM7 or MIUI to allow external GPS.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndinfla:
You need Bluetooth GPS from the market. Then somewhere in cm7 you need to enable mock locations. I can't remember exactly where at the moment but search the nook forums and you will find it
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selection16:
Mock locations is at Settings > Applications > Development
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awats:
I use a Garmin GPS 10 over BT. It works fine. You need an app that uses GPS. There doesn't appear to be build-in communication with a GPS module where it will act like it's built in hardware. At least I never found it.

I've used GPS BT, Google Maps and a couple of others and it works fine.

But now that you mention it, that would be a cool feature for CM7 to talk to a GPS module automatically and treat it like built in hardware.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkritsilas:
Hi,

First post, so if I am out of line, I will take whatever heat you decide I deserve.

Background:

I am trying to get a newerish version of Android onto a Rogers Dream with radio 3.22.26.17 using the guides found here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rooting_HTC_Branded_EBI1_Dreams

Problem:

It all went very well until part D, step 4. I can boot into recovery, and can choose the "Flash zip from SD Card", and can see the zip file (1_33_2005_spl.zip), Now what? I have tried to reboot, but it doesn't seem to flash the 1_33_2005_spl.zip file. Is there a key combination that I need to press to have the file flash into the internal memory of the device? I have looked onto the recovery screen, and don't see any command key combination to have it flash. When I run the subseqent shell reboot bootloader command, the screen shows S-ON, HBOOT: 1.33.0010 RADIO: 3.22.26.17. I assume that this means that the 1_33_2005_spl.zip file has not been flashed.

Question:

How do I flash the 1_33_2005_spl.zip file into memory in the recovery mode? Or, what is the key combination to flash the 1_33_2005_spl.zip file into internal flash?

Kostas
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RcklssNdngrmnt:
I don't have a Rogers EBI1, so I'll have to assume that this guide is already giving the safest method to update the SPL with their rooting method. (Flashing SPL or Radio from Recovery is a bit dangerous, see this thread on why.)

That said, it sounds like the part about "3. Choose 1_33_2005_spl.zip" you are missing is to press the trackball to select the file to install. After flashing the SPL, don't do any other task except reboot, exactly as it says. Once you have the Engineering SPL, it is safer to flash further SPL or Radio updates from fastboot mode.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkritsilas:
Thanks, that did it. The guide doesn't really specify how to select and execute stuff, and not having any other devices with either RA recovery, or a trackball, it sort of confused me.

I now have root, and I have the 1.33.2005 SPL installed. I have tried installing some ROMs, but have not settled on anything yet. I'm sort of tending towards Ginger Yoshi 1.4, if I can ever get the 1.33.2010 SPL located (its required to install Ginger Yoshi 1.4). At the very least though, I know how to install .zip files from recovery, now.

Kostas
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RcklssNdngrmnt:
Chances are you were searching for Dream SPLs to find 2010.

Here is the Magic SPL list, which also work on the Dream. The special 1.33.0013d SPL for extra memory is over here, if yoshi can use it.

For anyone else changing the SPL, I'd recommend reading (important enough to link to it again): CONFIRMED!! BRICKS: Radio and SPL + New SAFETY theory.

It is generally considered safer to flash the hboot (SPL) partition only from fastboot mode whenever possible, and only from recovery if you have a locked (i.e., "SHIP") SPL while rooting.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to know if there's a way to play HD games which on mini .

i mean many games are incompatible with mini because of resolution and for a change a phone with this resolution with mini's specs its more than capable of playing any game out there right now in the market .

So i just want to know , if ther's way to port these games to run on lower resolution ? if there is a way already please point me the right direction if there a way already .

Want to try the mini beast out :D on some good games!

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
I have tried ALL HD games on my mini and it works well. Who says it is incompatible? It just need to be modified.

I have tried all Gameloft games such as nova, modern combat, dungeon hunter, asphalt, avatar, FIFA, pes, gangstar, eternal legacy and bla bla bla I mean literally all HD games is working on my xperia mini pro sk17i.

If you want those games pm me. Thread closed

Hello,

I was working with a rom (eclipse) and must have done something wrong, I do have a nandroid back up on my sd card and I also saved it to my pc.

The problem is that now my phone is in a bootloop and I dont know how to restore with nandroid.

Does anyone know how to restore with a nandroid when the phone is in a bootloop?

Any help is appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
If it's in a bootloop, you'll more than likely have to sbf.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
Turn Off Phone. Plug Your Charger Into The Wall. Plug The Phone Into The Charger. Let The Charger Turn On The Phone Don't Manually Power On. It Should Bring Up The CWM Screen. If It Doesn't After 5 Minutes, It's In Need Of An SBF.
[Motorola Droid X2] animal24:
if you can't get it into recovery, you need to sbf, then re root, and bootstrap. then you can restore your nandroid. had to do that twice with my OG.
[Motorola Droid X2] Electroniko:
I was able to fix the bootloop with a battery pull then doing a fast boot and selecting restore. It did not go back into 2.2.2 instead I was still with gingerbread and still rooted. Then I tried installing the rom again and this time it.worked.
[Motorola Droid X2] Anotha'newb:
Sometimes when it bootloops after installing eclipse if you pull the battery and then after putting it back boot into regular recovery ( hold power and vol down then cycle to it with vol down button) and do a data wipe everything may come up, new I.stall and all. I do see you have it fixed but if it ever happens again (hold it will) then try this first, it has worked for me more than once.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Im curious as to how long u were in a bootloop. As it took my phone quite some time to load past the boot screen after new eclipse for first boot. Patience before people just go pulling batteries.
[Motorola Droid X2] Anotha'newb:
True! It took a long time for me as well. Only pulled battery after I got the DROID eye and it kept starting over there.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
First boots after flashing always take a while whilst the os builds cache etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] psouza4:
During some testing while working on 2nd init, we came across a problem that can only be fixed by someone who has NEVER rooted their DROID 3 before. Even if you unrooted, the signature changes and that doesn't help me.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fryedchicken:
I have been dealing with Sprint this past week about very slow data speed. I have been getting around 50-100 kbps down and 300 kbps up. When I went to a nearby town I was getting 800- 1300 kbps down and 400-500 kbps up. All of these are on 3G. Today when Sprint called me I was asked if " EV " was displayed instead of 3G. I was told there are 3 levels to 3G. I vaguely remember EV before I rooted and ROMed but I have not seen it since. Is indication of " EV " typically removed from a custom ROM? I have used Frozen 1.2 and am now using RandomRom 2.3.4. I tried all of the available modems with Frozen with no change before I installed EG22 and Flashed RandomRom. I have a few friends that also are complaining about slow data speeds in our area so I don't think its my phone anymore. Any thoughts or advice on the subject?? Thanks!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3537L1F3:
Everyone saying they dropping sprint soon. Sprint will phase in their new type of signal next year, they will discuss it on the 7th of next month. I think they may have started on some towers. My 3G has greatly dropped but my 4G is almost as fast (if not as fast) as my DSL internet. I am happy with it and being with Sprint 6 years and compared to what others complain about from their service I'll stick with sprint for 6 more. Unless they raise prices.

Me and my g/f both have Epics. Mine is rooted and running a custom rom and hers is stock. Both of us were experiencing crappy data speeds until i updated both phones modems to EH17.

Speeds are much better in some places where we have good signal, from 300k to 1.5 - 2.2mbps. So it may have something to do with the modem you currently have as well.

Although i did talk to a sprint employee at the nearby store and I was told they were going through some tower upgrades in the DFW area. Tearing down old towers and putting up new. He suggested that it would be around 6 to 8 months time before things are completed.

Problem with all this is that CDMA "4G" eats a ton of battery compared to just as fast (or in Sprint's case, 20x faster) HSPA+ network.
