[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Yeah, forget that. So, what does the Canadian sgs2 look like, a captivate or a i9000?

Yeah, saw your thread in dev. Look like you put a lot of work into that. Good job.
[Captivate General] Nick0703:
The Canadian SGS2 look like this but it's a LTE Version.
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
looks like the i9000 which makes sense since its.model number is i9100. i guess samsung is updating all the sgs models to sgs2.. makes sense i guess.

I just needed to find some fellow Rogers users. Glad i found this post. I recently bricked my phone, but managed to unbrick it using a once click ODIN resetter:

Anyways, my phone works again, but it is now an ATT phone. Is there any way I can get my phone back as a Rogers phone? I really need my phone for day to day use etc.

Any help is appreciated.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsingh2011:
I really hate this mentality. People have to start somewhere. Sure they could spend years figuring everything out on their own. Or you could save them a year by pointing them in the right direction. There is such little discussion about this and it's honestly just annoying and a huge negative aspect about the development community.

EDIT: This is for HTC and I haven't watched it, but it might get you started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94Az1kcQvc4

Also, you should definitely look through the source code for open source ROMs. I'm not a ROM developer so I can't really help you more than that, but I hope a real dev gives you an answer.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
first and foremost, learn how to use ADB. if you cant use ADB without some kind of script/batch file to do it for you, then stop right here!

personally the first thing i learned was how the updater-script (at the time, we didnt have edify scripting, so it was plain-jane update-script) worked. have a look in a rom's zip file and learn the layout.

learn how to edit apks (decompile/compile) with apktool.

get comfortable with linux (this is just an opinion, as you CAN build roms in windows, but i have found it much easier on my dev laptop with ubuntu 10.10 64bit)

apkmanager is a good tool to have if you are on windows (there is a linux/osx version too, but i havent used it)

learn what zip-aligning means and what it does for your rom

learn what deodexing means and what it does for your rom

different devices benefit from different tweaks within your /system/build.prop . learn which ones work best for your rom (this requires a lot of flashing and testing on your own device)

this whole process is very time consuming and takes a ton of effort on your part. be prepared. while it is a lot of work, it is a lot of fun learning.

once you get proficient at building and tweaking roms, you can start learning how to edit smali ;)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diviance:
This is good information. I, personally, build Aura completely on windows with minimal assistance from cygwin. I use batch files for the common things I use on ADB and the like but I built the scripts myself, so it isn't like I can't do it manually I just don't wanna.

It is both easier and harder than it looks. Aura is the first rom I have built.

One thing, though, is to not accept the current ways as best. Things can always be improved. I have two common mods in my rom that are done completely differently in my rom, without either database editing through scripts or modifying smali inside apk's (the hotspot entitlement check and the 1 signal bar fix). No other roms for the Atrix (I haven't check other phones...) do it this way, not even Darkside which is based somewhat no Aura.

If you are building a rom through the Rom Kitchen... don't use the garbled updater-script it puts out. It mostly works, but it is trash and you won't learn much from it.

Experimentation!

this thread died quickly.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermerkin:
too bad because I want to do some studying up on it and creating some coolness myself eventually.

I know with iphones a lot of development was done right from the phone itself especially for app development, is there the same concept here?

and one other question, do you guys make any money off of these things at all? Im always looking for side work...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you can create scripts, push and pull files directly from the phone, so in a sense, yes you can work straight from the phone.

as for money...LOL...dont look to this for a secondary income by any means.

i have made all of $28 for my work on the inspire, and nothing from my work on the captivate
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermerkin:
Hey 28 bucks is 28 bucks, granted I made 40 per screen when I used to replace iphone digitizers but money is money you never have enough.

Thanks for the info though!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diviance:
I spend a lot of time flashing my Rom when I am working on it. I usually don't push and pull from the phone since most users aren't doing that and I want to emulate what they will be doing.

As for money... Yeah, not a method of reliable I income if you intend to use it as such. I have probably had around... $125 donated to me by some incredibly awesome people.

If you intend to become a Rom dev, be friendly and responsive. People really appreciate someone who is willing to answer questions and give help where needed. Being standoffish like some I have seen is a sure way to get labeled with some bad words :-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
Thank you guys for the responses. This is something I've been wondering as I've taken the plunge into modifying my Atrix. To say it's been addictive is an understatement. I started toying with the idea of putting my own ROM together pretty early on, so basic info like this is much appreciated.

Like someone said early on in the thread, everyone has to start somewhere so even seemingly small bits of info are always welcome. :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoneguy589:
The biggest hurdle is understanding adb commands and when to use them. Then, how to view the individual file strings inside the /sytem/build.prop and apks AND actually understand what it means. I have spent hours wandering around in root explorer look in folders and seeing what is inside. Pulling something with adb actually removes it from the phone right? Then I have to adb push back into the folder I pulled from. Should I use Ubuntu on my Win7 pc? I tried eclipse, installer r13, and I do have apkmanager but have yet to figure out how to actually use it.

I learn by doing what someone is telling me so reading it sometimes doesn't make sense since I can't "see" it and what it's supposed to look like. WIsh someone lived nearby to just to help get me started.....Beers and food on me LOL. Or at least had some time over the phone even.

Thanks Diviance (again) and to you PirateGhost for your help.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
no adb pull does not remove it from the device. it copies to your local machine

as far as using windows vs linux. use whatever will make you more comfortable. i can assure you a lot of tutorials, and howtos are written with linux in mind, but if you can understand the basics, you will be able to translate it to windows. not to mention once you get into tearing down APKs, jars, dexes, etc....its all the same code inside no matter what tools you are using to get to them. i find linux easier to work with when it comes to stuff like this, some people think windows is easier.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoneguy589:
If I were to get linux on my PC, would adb work within the linux evironment...meaning can I adb from linux and compile/decompile etc from there?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
well you would compile/decompile directly on the phone unless you were using the sdcard....it wouldnt be pretty

you adb pull /system/file modify it, then adb push /system/file

it works the same in windows as it does in linux from that aspect. i just find working in linux easier.

here, this should help get you started somewhere, its not exactly like this phone, and the guide should be used as a reference and not a manual.

[EVO 4G General] MasterDerp:
Hello everyone. I have been searching for threads all day and have not found much information about being able to hook up devices into some kinda of USB interface or serial interface on Android devices. The closest thing I can find is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202082

There has to be a host controller on these phones right? I would think that if there is a micro SD read reader on the phone, there would be one. Am I the only one thinking this? What is the best way to find out?

My inspiration comes from the ArduPilot project . I think this is pretty sweet but I think it could be way more powerful with a full operating system versus a limited micro controller. An additional fun link of, what most can imagine, my final goal: http://www.wimp.com/helmetcam/

I am posting this on the Evo 4G general thread due to owning it and it would be easy to disassemble, if there is something I need to look into.

I want to look finding (or creating) a robotics application for the android OS to map *connected* servo controllers (not bluetooth connected, Arduino powered, etc..) that will also allow remote users to control the phone multiple threads to control the UV or UAV. Examples: 1: Flying the RC Plane while viewing the video stream on the phone's multiple cameras (integrated or attached). 2: Executing autopilot application and monitoring it's progress through two-way communication from a controlling "base" station (PC, Server, Tablet, etc..). Maybe executing multiple RC vehicles at once.

I have a feeling that this would help many others with other types of monitoring projects (What comes to mind: Home security, Car Security, garden monitoring, etc..) This could also help the creation of other commercial products.

Any input and direction you can give would be appreciated. :)

i have one question. that we have ROM: 512 Mb and RAM 256Mb

when we install ROM its goes where? in ROM or in RAM..?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhirend_6d:
It goes into ROM. RAM - Random Access Memory. When apps run, they use RAM.

Well, actually there is no differences in that case. ROM in

I have searched everywhere for an actual solution for this very irritating issue, I have seen some people complaining about it, but no solid soluion or fix. Since I have flashed a few ROMs I cannot get rid of this STUPID "Hearing Aids" icon!!!! Like many of us, I enabled the hearing aids option while I was on the stock ROM, but then turned it off since it really didn't do much in helping the low volume issues we have all complained about. Now whenever I flash a new ROM the icon comes back after a reboot???!!!! Most ROM's don't have the option to turn it off, and that is the problem. I have even flashed back to stock, made sure it was off, and reflashed Revolution HD 3.6.0, and damn it if it isn't back AGAIN!!! Please, someone prevent a suicide (kidding) and help me please!!! I will give you thanks, I will send you flowers, I will call you GOD for the day, just please help me. Thanks folks.

Solution Found!!!! The problem is with Google afterall. I had to create another Google account and use that account first after re-flashing a new ROM. After getting past the initial set-up, it allows you add an additional Google account to your phone (my main one). I have re-booted about 10 times and still no earpiece icon. So relieved and super happy. If this helps anyone else I am happy.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] esau13:
Good afternoon folks, I'm just curious if anyone can assist me with a quick question/issue I am having. I have done a search for my answer previous to creating this thread (and registering even), asked elsewhere etc, but didn't and couldn't really find anything pertaining to my exact problem. Of course, I may have missed or overlooked it, and if so, I apologize.

First, my phone and what not. (if more information is required, I'll provide)

LG Optimus One (LGP500h)

Rooted - Gingerbreak v1.20

Have tried .mp3 and .ogg with same results.

What's happening is; I've created my own ringtone(s) and am trying to have them separate from my music, but no matter what instructions I follow the custom ringtone ALWAYS appears while listening to the music I have on my phone. eg: when I walk my dog listening to an album, my ringtone lists as a music track and plays as one.

I have tried the numerous tutorials out there for doing this:

- create separate ringtone/alarms/notifications folders on the SD card

- create the above as sub folders within the media folder on the SD card

- create the above as sub folders within the DCIM folder on the SD card

- create the above as sub folders within the Sounds folder on the SD card

All of the above locations allow me to use my custom ringtone no problem, BUT when I listen to the music I've added to my phone via the stock music player, my ringtone plays as if it was a song, so I get a 30 second ringtone in the middle of an album. It's not really a big deal if I keep my custom ringtones limited to one, but it does get a bit annoying if I want to add several custom ringtones.

I'm curious to what I am doing wrong here, or if this is just the cost I have to pay to have a custom ring tone - I've searched all over and haven't found a solution, nor found anyone else having this same issue which leads me to believe I am doing something incorrectly.

I'd prefer to not use an app that downloads music for ringtones, as I am a musician myself and have created my own, so I'd just like to use the one(s) I create and not have them appear as music tracks.

Thanks in advance for any insight or help.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
I'm not sure about any fix for the issue. But I think if you use a 3rd party music app like PowerAMP, you can select where you want the app to scan for media. You can exclude some folders for scanning. But if you prefer the stock app, the you can have a workaround: Create a playlist with all the albums except the ringtone album (categorize all the custom ring tones under a single album). This way you can always play the playlist, which will not have the ring tones album.

Try it and see if it works!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] esau13:
Thanks for the quick reply! I feel kind of silly now that I never considered using a different player, or even making a playlist as it seems kind of obvious to me now. I'll check out some music players (like PowerAmp) and will post again if this solves my problem.

Again, thank you for the quick response.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Agent3:
Under Sound Settings and Phone ringtone, I remember it created a Ringtones folder on my sd card. Then I would put my custom ringtones in that folder. I would never hear it when I was going through my music. I am also using PowerAmp and it scanned only the music folder.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Try it. It's a very good app. But personally I don't like it because of its UI. I prefer the simple, clean stock music player.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] esau13:
Unfortunately I didn't have the same results, and had to create my own.

Thanks gkarthik16, your suggestion seems to have solved my problem.

I also liked the stock player, but not enough to have to deal with my original issue. I tried out a couple free players very briefly, and although I'm not sure about PowerAmp's U.I just yet, I'm going stick with it for now and see how it works out and consider purchasing the full version. I imagine I'll get used it for my needs.

Thanks again.
