[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] greghudd:
Hi to group...

I am a noob to this site so am forced to post this flyer-specific developer ? here into Q&A.

I am trying from inside some standard Android code to invoke the screenshot function on my HTC 4G View (flyer) if it is possible for a demo I am constructing.

I tried several 'hackish ways' sending keystroke events (PowerOff + Home) without joy... But what I really want is How I can/should locate specific features for this device in general. (Is this inside their custom kernel?, in a public API somewhere I can call, a special 'HTC Intent for Screenshots' ect.

I am happy to read docs/code elsewhere if someone points me in the proper direction I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks in advance. Cheers GH

Hi,

I using htc desire (telextra) in india bought from Australia. Initially used stock rom then change to custom rom and used airtel sim card. i used it up to nearly one and half year without any problem. Before three months i had ported my sim card to Vodafone. After that i am facing freezing issues at the freezing time it receiving incoming calls and rings well but display is full freezed. Also while clicking on the power button turn on the hardkeys and off when agian click on the ower button...

Have to restart it for getting agian properly. At that time received incoming will show as missed call..

I tried custom roms (paul modaco and leedroid) after that i switch to stock unroot, then also facing the same issue

it will be highly appreciable if anyone helps me to solve this issue!!!

I have the same thing happening to me. I too have been using A2SD+ for about 9 months now.

Within the last few weeks..

I was running Insert Coin A2SD+ 1.1.4 with the stock hboot, occasionally the phone would freeze and the only way to restart the phone was to remove the battery.

After searching around it turns out it could be one of two problems. Either my microsd card is failing (16GB Class 4 Sandisk) or there are some rouge apps causing this freeze?

I recently flashed the CM7 r2 Hboot and is now running the CM7 version of Insert Coin 1.1.4, as I thought changing ROMs would eradicate this problem but last night it happened again. Pulled out the microsd this morning and gave it a good clean on its connectors. Seeing how long it's gonna last before it decides to do its not-so-funny freeze thing.

Used android flasher to upgrade the radio to 5.17.05.23 as well even though it doesn't say so below. It does on the 'About Phone' page.

Not sure if this is going to help but this is my phone.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecentrik:
Well, good news is since I posted there hasn't been any screen freezes or the suspected app causing the freeze. Thinking now it probably is the microsd card failing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecentrik:
Happened just now, no apparent reason for it either. Phone has been pretty idle the whole day, just one phone call earlier today.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Return to stock. If problem persits, call HTC.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Thinking wild,

like in linux we can have live cd & boot from a live cd is it possible to make the android rom compatible for booting from internal or external sd card without installation?

This way we can test different roms without messing up the installed rom, the latest such implementation was done in 2009 for canon 5D camera & later for many other cameras having magic lantern firmware to boot from CF/SD card without messing up the firmware.

Any developer willing to look into this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fxzy:
There are already such a thing called boot manager. It support multi-ROM installing. But only for HTC devices, even not Samsung I9000.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Idea is fantastic. It looks like 'preview of rom' just like 'theme preview' in nokia. But practically its impossible. U can use emulator to run rom on computer.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Oh I didn't know that that boot manager exist can you give me the link for this please.

Are samsung chips locked in some way hence now allowing the booting?

@vishal24387 where can I find such emulator to run rom?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
We need first USB OTG.

Like SGS2, but there we have a "hidden" partition, that is the second boot partition!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
adb emulator with a nandroid backup
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
dude sgsl9003 is talking about dual boot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Ok found the boot manager in the market & the description says

No samsung device is listed only HTC work. Seems samsung purposely locking the devices & crippling the phones even though hardware supports many features?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Yes kind of dual boot like on my windows machine I still can boot into linux from the live cd, it will be ideal if android roms can be made to work like that but I am no developer & don't even know how this can be done hence inviting all genius rom developers to look into this possibility.

Developers will get a lot more feedback from users since then we could test roms (nightly build) as & when required without installation & messing up the stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
Great idea, but very difficult to achieve. But i'm very positive that with the presence of some great devs we have here one day we can achieve such feat. :)

This is a good way of eliminating having to flash new ROM on our devices.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
i have used dual boot in my motorola rokr e6 around 2 yrs before
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Great so do you think the same can be done for i9003?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
hmm it was diffferent cause rokr e6 was an ezx phone based on linux but it is very different from android which is also based on linux
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ilcorsaronero:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19969004 :)

Can we do this on i9003 as well? We're talking about samsung phones, the method has been ported to a galaxy s2... and dual boot might be useful for debugging alpha mods!

Is it possible? Or i9003 and Samsung Galaxy s2 are completely different phones?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amit864:
what's the use?? i don't see why apart from novelty that someone would like to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ilcorsaronero:
Really? This is important for people who need a working phone but would like to try out (and maybe help) new roms. Here's why.

You have dual boot: you start the phone in the morning with Samsung's stock where everything works just fine. Then when you have time you switch back to a rom, go offline and try whatever you want. When you really need the phone you boot back to stock.

This would be helpful. I was thinking about how to port this, I know about chroot, but we need to start another kernel's image too. Maybe a script run on CWM recovery which changes boot img path and a modified kernel which sees his own as his legitimate partition? If we had grub this would be easy. I know linux tricks but I am not pratical with Android.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Galaxy 3 thread has a kernel called g3mod kernel, it supports multibiot, meaning placing the system.img in the kernel's folder, thus allowing you to multiboot, and keeping your data there.

Edit: if you search ard in the galaxy 3 dev thread, there is also a kernel called dual boot.

Cheers:)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amit864:
I am not sure it is the correct way to test roms (to help the developers)

Great, you know chroot. Looking forward for your port!!

BTW, why is this thread in Dev section??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ilcorsaronero:
If you want to help, you're welcome, otherwise, just get away. As you said: this is the developer's section.

I'm afraid chroot is not enough. What needs to be done is to boot a different kernel. Chrooted OSs rely on your own kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ilcorsaronero:
Thanks. Looking into it. I'll ask how they did it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Ditto what you said, the main advantage is that whenever user are free they can test the roms by rebooting into it & this will speed up the feedback to the developers & number of users will be far more as the buggy rom will not effect their phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ilcorsaronero:
Got reply from hillbeast. He said that the switching of OS is operated in the recovery, through flashing system.img, whilst ROM-sensing is performed by this mod

However, I would investigate on kexec, instead, not because is better, but because I like it. Kexec is a kernel module which enables an authorized user to load a new kernel starting from another one. Cool. If that's not possible, then G3MOD be the way. Here's the way to achieve it: I posted it on my site. It's a long list of hard task, but at least it's a list.

Not sure it's possible at all, still didn't pulled git repo of galaxy s scl kernel (vurrunt or UC) which is the basis for kexec compiling: so no progress so far... but if anyone wants to help; everyone is suuuper welcome!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Shaolin Slum Lord:
I have recently jumped headfirst into this whole phone modding thing and have a question I haven't been able to find an answer to. I flashed CyanogenMod 7.1.0-RC1 about a month ago and could not get any data connection on my phone except wifi. I eventually got so frustrated that I recently switched to MIUI.

Could anyone tell me if these issues have been fixed on the G2x with the nightlies? Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I have cm7 nightly 124 and faux123s uv/oc kernel and have intermittent issues with data, but they are quickly resolved by a reboot or the app I have called signal refresh. They aren't often though and most times are probably just regular signal loss caused by the building I'm in.

Hello paul-xxx

From v9 - v14 and v16 in DSPManager under Headphone and Bluetooth option only EQ and Bass Booster is working. Compression and Loudness is not working. But in v7, v8, v15 it is working well.

I have an iPod Classic. With iPods headphone, the music quality of the mini pro in v7, v8 and v15 is awesome and in my opinion it is better than the ipods music quality. But from v9 to v13 and v16 no bass effect.

Please check it and fix it.

[Atrix 4G General] firefight16:
Well I updated my phone with 2.3.4 stock from Bell, and I get into our Ford Flex with Sync. Next I see an a tiny mail icon, what! I play with some buttons and I see text messages, so I read manual and figure out voice control and next my Bell Atrix now reads text messages.

As far as I could see when I first bought the Atrix, it does not have the MAP with the bluetooth, this is what is needed for the read text mail messages according to Ford Sync tech support.

I sent them an email saying all of a sudden it works and they asked me to call in and I told them the same.

Not sure what happened but as far as I know the bluetooth radio has to support MAP, or is it just a software patch to make it work on all bluetooth devices?
[Atrix 4G General] Earthdog:
Well thats a step in the right direction the Atrix does not fully support EDR 2.1+ the hardware does but not the Stack Moto did. Oddly enough Windows 7 phones have full support.

Perhaps one day...
[Atrix 4G General] darkamikaze:
I'm on CM7 .. I wish it supports MAP.. but I since its probably hardware dependent it will never happen ):

Hi guys,

I'm really new here, I can't post in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836022

I created a working ubuntu11.04 .img, with unity-2d. I don't know if anybody cares, it was funny to make.

It is just a minimal install with unity-2d and tightvncserver. Really minimal. Firefox, office applications, anything else DOES NOT installed.

However, you can install anything using apt-get install.

I installed wget and nano, because it was needed to configure the vnc. I plan to make a bigger one with all the programs and stuff installed. Maybe tomorrow. Or next week.

How to use: Unzip, rename to ubuntu.img and simply replace the original ubuntu.img with this one. Use root as user/nickname and ubuntu as password, as usual.

Download link to .img:

Links tomorrow. "New" .img too.

Please help! Give me additional space by using my referral: http://db.tt/W0knUea

edit1: So, now I've got 10 comments, I don't have to write everything in separate comments. What I've done yet: make some simple script to automatically turn on/off the vncserver (1024x600, tab native res, I found it enough), and get tired of the resource hungriness of unity-2d. I mean it needs about the same CPU power (I guess) as the galaxy tab has, and it needs about 200MB RAM. But this is to run native. The VNC version is far from native, so it's slow as f..., I mean, very slow. Then I looked for a little less resource-hungry desktop environment, and I found lxde. I made an image with that. It's slow too, but much faster than unity-2d. I need to configure it a little more, to be more touch-friendly. And I want to do a few other thing, and write a how to make your own .img file thing. If you want to do it now, here some links, I will write about it sometimes.

[Galaxy Tab General] agc93:
This image works quite well. As with every VNC build, its a bit slow and Unity doesn't help that (even in its nice Unity-2d form), but if you want Ubuntu on your Tab this is a pretty sweet image. Ultra-lightweight, too. Nice work, OP!

Do I write 'bootubuntu' in command line instead of 'bootlinux' or do I have to change the filename of 'bootubuntu' file? I guess first of the two is correct, but it's better to ask than to brick :P

Oh and is the AndroidSDK really needed? I don't see anything about usage of it in instruction....
[Galaxy Tab General] agc93:
Hi!

The SDK is not strictly necessary since you could use a Terminal Emulator to run the necessary commands but using an ADB shell is just bit easier sometimes. That being said, you should install the SDK if you ever want to do much with an Android. It's easy to install and very powerful.

And yes, write bootubuntu instead of bootlinux when prompted. I know what you mean :P

I'll write a howto tonight or next day or I don't know. I need to study to university too. You need adb or android terminal emulator (from the market) to use apt. Short version: when your prompt is "root@localhost:/#" simply do this command: "apt-get install firefox"

Oh, sorry I forgot to mention, this script only works with overcome kernel and rom. You shold modify the

To really enjoy full linux distros like this, one should have a swap-enabled kernel. Instead, kernel on the Tab has no swap, and if you dare open some large app, the lack of ram makes it slow and unresponsive.
