[Motorola Droid 3] edgan:
We are trying to solve how to make our own fastboot system.img files from dd the system partition on a phone. If we can get a stock, 5.5.959, system.img that has never been mounted read/write, then we should be able to compare it to a fastboot system.img and figure out the exact difference. We already have a start of an idea, but it has to be perfect.

By virgin, no OTA patches, and no mounting read/write. You do have to root the phone, but on the temporary root. Put busybox in /data/tmp or somewhere. Next chmod 755 /data/tmp/busybox . Then do something like /data/tmp/busybox dd if=/dev/block/system of=/data/tmp/system.img . Finally copy /data/tmp/system.img off the phone and post it in this thread, please.

Busybox
[Motorola Droid 3] psouza4:
We already have this file. ;)

You have had it for days, in fact. You converted it to system.tar.gz for me.

Source: erismaster

Satisfies all of your requirements -- 5.5.959 (not OTA!), Verizon, temp ADB root, never mounting /system, dd with those arguments.
[Motorola Droid 3] edru:
Is there anyways to get my hands on this? My phone is purely in fastboot mode only and have no other real options to me, so if i could somehow flash this via fastboot, it may actually solve my issue.

(I cant even get into recovery)

[Motorola Droid 3] stevefxp:
I tried a fastboot flash of this system.img and it gave me a crc check failure.
[Motorola Droid 3] psouza4:
You can't flash it, it's not signed. It's only useful for development.
[Motorola Droid 3] stevefxp:
Thanks very much!
[Motorola Droid 3] rynosaur:
No worries about finding a system.img that hasn't ever been mounted . . . we now have "Like a Virgin" images for repeated re-mounting and her pleasure.

[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
Interesting thing I found while playing Angry Birds. If you are a user like me and really hate playing through all of Angry Birds again (iDevices, Android devices, etc), this will definitely help you.

Note: Only tested this on Angry Birds HD, so I don't know if it works on the others.

1) Open Angry Birds then press play button

2) Select an area you haven't unlocked yet. (Mighty Hoax, Danger Above, The Big Setup, Ham 'em High)

3) Quickly press back button then home button.

4) Swipe card up and away.

5) Open Angry Birds again and quickly tap "Play" repeatedly.

6) If you did it correctly, you should be in the locked "world" with 1st level.

7) Make sure to get any amount of stars on the first level, else when you back out the world will still be locked.
[TouchPad General] athorax:
Wow, thanks brostada

nice man thanks

Edit: does not work with AB: Rio... well i couldnt get it to atleast
[TouchPad General] Troute:

[TouchPad General] robot1000:
If I remember correctly, this was also the way to bypass locked levels when it was first released on Android

Thanks for posting this
[Galaxy S II General] scorpion667:
I am thinking of selling it if it comes in a brand new box from Samsung. It was a manufacturer defect so I hope they won't send me a refurb. I just want to confirm if you guys are having the same issues I did as to gouge if I just had a bad sample or if the entire line has these issues.

Keep in mind I have spent tens of hours trying to correct these issues via various ROM's, Modems and Kernels, including KH3 which was the best.

My issues were as follows:

-Wifi can't connect at any McDonalds wifi. Works at starbucks, sometimes.

-4g/3g uploads always dip in the speedtest chart for 2 seconds then bumps right up

-Wifi sometimes says connected but doesn't actually work. Didn't happen too often.

-banding on the screen, blobs on screen in dark room/black image on screen.

-phone was warped, determined I just had a bad one as all the other ones at the store were perfectly flat.

-call volume extremely low even when using the secret code to bump it to 100%. my loaner phone a motorola droid is twice as loud as the s2. I can actually hear my girlfriend talk to me now and not have to say what? pardon? every 2 sentences.

-people can't hear me in calls if i'm talking in a low voice, like anyone would at the end of a long stressful work day. even with noise reduction off.

-stock rom has under 6 hours battery life under medium use, easily fixed with custom rom, but still it shouldn't be a necessity to void your warranty untill official firmware is released for your provider, just so you can use your phone for more than 6 hours.

-phone gets hot, can be solved by undervolting cpu/gpu.

Please confirm if you are also having these issues, to help me make a decision regarding what I should do when the phone comes back.

Cheers, Tony
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
I am getting none of those issues. Haven't tested McD's wifi, but every other hotspot worked fine for me so far.
[Galaxy S II General] scorpion667:
Looks like I might keep it after all, hoping for a better sample. Thanks for your help guys.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
I have two droid charges and I drop down the notification bar, the brown looks totally off from my other droid charge, every color brown is distorted, looks like a pinkish tint.what can be the problem? totally stock
[Verizon Droid Charge] ssmaster:
I had 2 fascinates and had the same issue. I'm guessing since the screen is organic it changes color over time, or maybe 2 screens made at different times just have different hues....
[Verizon Droid Charge] MillionManMosh:
Mine has a noticeable greenish tint next to my wife's. I considered trading out but then who says the next one I get wouldn't have some other defect? I just write it off as 'adds character'.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bluevolume:
Very common for any type of display. Thats why there are such extensive color/gamma correction features built into LCD TVs, though people rarely take advantage of them. If we had some sort of gamma tool for Android you could remove these variations fairly easily.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
yea your right, its just that my charges colors are so real. and the other one has all the same colors except that brown looks pinkish
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
lol yea your right, it might be a good thing
[Verizon Droid Charge] ticholas:
Same thing happened to my girlfriend and her mom on their fascinates

My brown looks awesomely brown. Is this a change up in the display lately?
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I suspect that Voodoo Color, if it worked on the Charge, would be able to remedy this. I have no idea if Voodoo Color for the Charge is under development or has been scrapped though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Birthofahero:
Imosyen's kernel has bits of voodoo color built in.

It's definitely possible to have the full mod available for us. In fact it's probably on its way.
[Verizon Droid Charge] slane35:
I went through three replacement Charges before getting one that looked close enough to stock. Was really bugging me... I'm happy to hear that there might be a way to adjust in the future.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
Seeing that the Evo will most likely never get stable USB host support I have abandon future projects on the Evo and am looking at expanding the Atrix/Photon feature set. I'm looking to work with a dev on external touchscreen support for the Atrix/Photon platform as well as other possible USB devices.

Granted, I have a the "CDMA Atrix" a.k.a. Photon but drivers should be easy to port and would benefit both devices. If I can get some devs on board we can nail down hardware specifics and other details later. I won't go into detail here as to what the end results will be but devs feel free to PM me with any questions. Hopefully there will be more dev involvement than the Evo Desktop had.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] millab:
I am seeking a similar solution, i would like to run my Atrix as a car-pc with a 7 inch touch screen in dash. Please keep us updated!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] turl1:
Basically there should be no porting needed. Atrix and Photon kernels are 99.99% the same and just differ in build configuration.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rezmax:
I thought to do this exact same thing as it makes tremendous sense. Everything already on the phone. Could be implemented very easily with the multimedia dock or even the car dock that enters the Photon into navigation mode automagically.

Have you tried the touch screen USB support yet?
[Atrix 4G General] Andrew149:
i flashed the latest beta4 Cm7 and i dont not see google video chat at all does anyone else see it? or how do i get it to work
[Atrix 4G General] spitefulcheerio:
I'm not sure if that app works with the video camera or not but the video camera currently isn't working
[Atrix 4G General] Andrew149:
Well the google video chat app should be there anyways because i believe it came with 2.3.4 and up and were on 2.3.5 now
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I don't use CM much but I'm pretty sure they don't include ANY Google apps at all. The camera barely works for still photos in the latest release. No camcorder or video cam as far as I've heard. It's still pre-beta.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
See my post in this section it has the Google apps link in it
[Atrix 4G General] Andrew149:
i installed the google apps this is why im confused why i dont have video talk but can anyone confirm they have video talk on cm7?
[Atrix 4G General] ddbone:
To confirm, i do not have the video chat option in google chat as 2.3.4 stock had that feature.
[Atrix 4G General] turl1:
If you flash the newest gapps package using ROM Manager, you will be offered video chat. Just tick it and let it flash.
[Atrix 4G General] Andrew149:
thanks now im wondering why we dont have this feature
[Atrix 4G General] scoot05redss:
I installed the latest Google Apps as well and still don't have the option either. I'm also running CM7 PreBeta 4! Hope we can figure this out.
[Atrix 4G General] shaunole:
I can confirm that installing the gapps from 8/28 (2.3.5 version) via ROM Manager resolved the issue for me. Also, Video chat is working although the video camera supposedly is not.

I had to attempt a couple times due to FC, but then it worked well.
[Atrix 4G General] Gandalf:
have you guys installed the "unofficial" google apps installer, or are you using the one from the atria-dev-teams page?
[Atrix 4G General] shaunole:
I just installed via the ROM Manager that was downloaded from the market. You have to install it from the market, then flash CWM from the ROM Manager, reboot and it gives you a number of choices on what you can install. The choices are listed under the Download ROMs section.
[Atrix 4G General] ddbone:
Andrew149, Do exactly what shaunole has said in his post.

It now works after downloading August 28 gapps.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] scoot05redss:
Tried to install the latest Gapps in Rom Manager and It's erroring out once in recovery. Any idea how I can download it and flash manually?

[Atrix 4G General] scoot05redss:
Worked, you guys are the best!
[Atrix 4G General] Andrew149:
So all I haft to do is install the gapps from rom manager?
[Atrix 4G General] turl1:
Yeah, and tick gtalk video when you're prompted to.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
Ive had 01115 for as long as Ive had the device. Through seven 'NEXI', prl and profile updates always fail. Anyway, I was in a store and I notice the Nexus has 61081 as well as a couple other (newer)devcices.

Does anyone have the prl 61081 to upload? It would be appreciated. Thank you!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
I can give you 60681 if there's a way to pull if off that doesn't require windoze (so no QPST).

make a nanadroid and try. I dont see why not. Its just an apk.

EDIT: the zip came from a developer that make's sense roms so im positive this will work.

[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
WARNING ABOUT FASTBOOT: Do not attempt to use fastboot erase or fastboot -w on the Streak

The fastboot program on the streak has issues and attempting to erase partitions with it may result in it hanging.

If it hangs the Streak will not be able to start up and is likely not rescuable by any manner (including QDL Tool)

Use factory reset via recovery mode instead.

There's linux and mac versions of fastboot and adb, I guess I can include them too in fastboot+adb.zip.

Custom Rom and Recovery List 8th link in OP
[Streak 5 General] chrisrotolo:
TheManii just oozes data... just kidding.. thanks for all your hard work.

dell devices at xda would not be the same without you
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Unfortunately documentation is not as glamourous as making custom roms.

My plan is to document the venue, Streak 7, and Streak 10 to the same degree, but without the former two I cant actually test my guides. I must rely on unreliable user comments to fix them.

I would likely attempt to create a custom rom for the venue as it has none at all, but it's virtually impossible to dev for a device you dont own.

I would like to work with the new 'millenium' device as all the recent dell branded devices share a lot more then just their names. But I dont expect to ever recieve one.
[Streak 5 General] rokkywoof:
Thanks, that does get me on the "right page" at least.

However, I am a bit confused since the "8th link" (of more than 30 linked zip files - quit counting after that), is listed as DJ-Steve's Streakdroid 1.2.0, and way down at the bottom of that page (30+ links) are 10 Streakmod versions with the last 2 having active links. Of those 2 the last one has "beta" in the zip file name, and the other one has "DoctorWfix" in the file name, so neither one sounds particularly obvious as the one to pick for basing everything else on.

Should I get the beta, 0.3.2.8? How would I install it? Make it a "update.zip" file on my SD card, and use the boot menu item for installing such files?

BTW, I have the "347" build ROM it seems - should I update that with the latest, 360 build?

TIA,

R
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
The 8th link refers to the post and not what's on the rom page.

Techinically all versions of streakmod are 'beta.' Dont let the name fool you though, there are no currently known issues with streak mod to date. It's more or less stable for everyday use.

If you are on 347 you are recommended to update to 360, you only need to download the 360 pkg and put it on the sdcard, then follow the directions on the wiki to do a stock update. You can skip the part of installing the matching recovery if you have not yet changed your recovery
[Streak 5 General] _n0p_:
TheManii, i'm not flattering, but thought that pressing "thanks" is not enough.

You guides are great, like 42 for Streakers :) You can't do much having a house without any documentation.

And looking at ROM deveolpment, do you really want to be one of the "ThereIFixedIt" guys?

I think you haven't made a ROM just because you'll think it's not good enough to release.

Sorry for offtopic/bad english.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
I do make custom roms, every release of Streakdroid I end up customizing to the point that it may very well be considered a different rom.

I simply dont release my roms, they're all 'private' I guess. If you're on #dellstreak you'll see me mention that my roms are heavily customized versions of streakdroid with every known fix applied. I work rather closely with fards and dj_steve on various things, but it's all pretty much behind the scenes stuff and documentation.

Pretty much all streak roms can be broadly grouped under: "based on stock rom" or "based on streakdroid".

Unless you're actually compiling the kernel and apps themselves, making a custom rom by adding/removing files is relatively easy. I'd rather make a guide on how to customize your rom for yourself, with the sum of all the guide I created that's pretty much everything you need to do that actually, all it's missing is a page to link them up into a logical flow pattern.

Now that I think about it I might just go and make a guide on how to make a custom rom.
[Streak 5 General] rokkywoof:
Thanks! The 360 update went OK (although I was a bit too impatient and had to start it over, and give it plenty of time to get through all its steps - maybe about 15 minutes).

Now for Streakmod, it looks as though I have to get Fastboot on Windows working, and that is the ugly part - I hate having to boot to Windows (instead of my usual Linux), and wade through all the updates for the last 3 months, and then install drivers (for ADB/Android USB it seems), to get all those pieces for modifying an Android device - most others have been tweakable with adb from Linux.

Oh well, guess I will spend a night in "Windows mode" so I can get to root to try to mod the DS5 to tether off my Verizon WinMob phone - a dead cinch with Archos once I found the "magic" APN to plug into its built-in tethering settings (for Bluetooth from my BT-only XV6900) - that or pay ATT $40-50 a month for "native" 3g access.

Thanks, again, for the pointers as I try to plug into the DS5 variant of Androiding.

I mean I just tried QDL tool when device was unable to power on (i feel like there was no battery in the device even though the battery was in its position). Never mind about QDL tool it was not working.

Can you explain me how to reimage innerSD? does innerSD reimaging mean recreating the partition table of internal memory?
