This is what i will do, as a dev:

1) Build my own u-boot (and try to make it running)

2) Update the whole kernel source of SGS/Fascinate to the newest 3.1 (still in RC)

3) Build Debian + 3.1 Linux kernel to run natively under our devices (sgs/fascinate)

4) Do some experiments about debugging with Arduino as output processing system

I have just bought a new arduino, so i think is time to start real development!!

Thanks in advance Adam!

Greetings

When you mean only developers, do you mean only those with "Recognized Developer" in their profile, or anybody who develops?
[General Topics] simone201:
I think means only Recogised Developers...;)
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
No. You do not have to be recognized to be a developer. It helps. Its easy to see who's a developer and who isn't. Just look at threads started... If the topics are mainly asking for help on remedial tasks, that's not a developer. If the topics are mainly releases or advanced subjects, that's a developer. I wont exclude people for their membership status. I'm looking at who can use a development device and who's going to actually use it as a development device to help the community.

It was given to me for development... I developed it and made it better with UnBrickable Mod and I added a battery cover. My project is done. I want someone else to use it as a development device. I'm hoping to give someone an opportunity which will benefeit the rest of the SGS community in some way, shape, or form. I wont judge based on anything except the project and likelihood of followthrough. Finally other developers will decide who gets it.

Noobs to XDA can be more skillful then Recognized Developers... I'm not concerned with titles.

Wow! Big Arrow eh? :D:D
[General Topics] h4oxer:
Why me ? Simple.

1. I would develop the **** out of roms for the Fascinate

2. I am working on a dualboot linux environment and android (let the user choose in the beginning)

3. Rethinking and remaking a recovery (first steps taken)

4. Because I think I can pull all this previous **** off.

alright , hes probably not aware of this , and I will pm him a link , he already owns a fascinate and hes my favorite dev in the SGS community . his XDA name is sbrissen

from TSM , thats who my vote goes for ...

[General Topics] loui1986:
I would work on porting linux kernel 3.0 to it, mainly because the device apparently cannot be bricked and this would greatly benefit the portable open-source community, I would also use it as a testbed for having a tablet without Dalvik VM or the google android OS, which I so dispair at, instead I think I'd use UClibC to port a minimal x-server or if I am feeling adventurous an SVGAlib frontend. I think thats about all I could do with it but I think it's quite impressive for a n00b. Also I suppose I would have to adda blog to my website to update you all on my progress ;~)

Edit: (additional infos)

I do already have an advent vega with vegacomb and have made some trivial apps for that to display my previous web-dev work but I just remembered I am playing with psx4droid and aDosBox source to make it work & more usable on vegacomb, maybe I could also update & test it on this device and release it on here (I will never post anything to the market, sorry I hate google)
[General Topics] sygeek:
Do I count if I use the device as my first android based smartphone to take my android development to further levels?
[General Topics] Faryaab:
Hey Adam,

If i get the device i will make a SGS II port like on the Samsung Galaxy S I also alot of Fascinate users have PM'ed me to port my rom onto their device. So now its all upto you.

Thanks,

Faryaab
[General Topics] bhundven:
I'm not a "Recognized Developer" on this board, but I do work on embedded systems (arm, powerpc, x86, etc...)

port u-boot to fascinate and enable fastboot. ;) (See: [U-Boot] Fastboot gadget, v2)

investigate ubi/ubifs to replace yaffs2 (faster, and dynamic partitioning) without xsr/fsr/tfsr, you have to use raw mtd. See: Raw Flash vs. FTL)

performance improvements

port to other Galaxy S, S2, and others.

newer recovery supporting all of the previous items.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
7 days left.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
Alright guys, three days left. I added UART connections to the back of the device to make it more debuggable. This allows debugging before adb or the screen come up. Lets hear some more ideas.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
These are the finalists. I my picks were based on who could use an UnBrickable Device most. I will have other developers in chat rooms narrow down from the finalists.

Porting U-Boot is a non-trivial task. This requires alot of work and can potentially brick the device. An UnBrickable device is needed for this type of work. Debian would be a great leap forward and give us all a very nice alternate OS to work with.

These are much needed tasks for this device.

Best of luck to both of you.

The winner will be announced tonight.

Edit: changed entries based on post count and post content of previous pick.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
Alright, I made the announcement in 3 home-brew developer chatrooms for 20 minutes. I will show the related text, but the people who made the votes will remain anonymous.

The Streak, or anything else for that matter, is only worth what somewhat else is willing to pay for it. The only variable you can affect is to position it in a way that people most interested in a Streak will see it (IMO) Good luck to you :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickshertzer:
Start auction at $149 US with buy it now of $399. Expect around $199. Of course, the better the condition and the more accessories = the higher the value. It will sell for more if it is unlocked.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...13&_nkw=dell+streak&_sacat=See-All-Categories

Of course timing is maybe the most important. Say for instance, if Dell announced an official GB upgrade, it would go for likely $399-499 that week.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viza Corp CEO:
I was deving up my dinc a few weeks ago and what i think i did (im not too sure if this is ecatly what cause this it was a while back) I found a rom i wanted to install but it said to wipe dalvik cache along with the usual steps to install a rom. so I did that. the thing is, i dont usually do that. not too long afterwards, a symbol came up in my notification bar that looked like a little sd card or w/e and it said "phone storage is empty or has unsupported files" and stays there even when i flash a different rom. Also, whenever i mount usb storage to my laptop only the sd card mounts. the phone storage doesnt. does anyone know what went wrong or how i might be able to fix it cause its really annoying having that in my status bar 24/7 D:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Try formating it from the Settings - sd & phone storage - Format phone storage, or from the mounts and storage - format emmc menu in recovery Note you will loose everything on the emmc if you format it, but it sounds like you dont have anything on there your worried about.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatGuyWithWifi:
im having this same problem. Is your method a proven one or are you just spit-ballin?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Just spit-balling I have had the issue in the past and i believe thats how i fixed it. I know this happens alot with the sd and the fix for it is to take it out put it in a pc copy the files to the pc format the sd fat32 and then copy the files back to the sd. Now you cant remove the internal storage and he said the pc dosent see it connected thru usb, so you will just have to accept loosing what ever is on your emmc and format it.

Hey,

can I have 2 or 3 android roms with clockwork mod?

Just for testing which is my favourite one and not always have to backup etc.

thx
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangorip:
Hi

I don't think there is anyway to dual boot 2 Android roms. i've only seen windows/Android dual boots and searching google didn't bring anything up I could see.

I would just have all the zips I wanted to test ready to go on my sd card and install 1 at a time until I found which one I preferred.

I might be wrong though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
yes, as long as both roms use the same partition sizes. all you would have to do is to flash the 1st one, set it up as you want it, make a nandroid backup, do a full wipe, flash the 2nd, set it up, make a nandroid, and you can do a wipe, flash whichever rom, then restore your nandroid, and you're all set, and able to switch back and forth that way.

but the easier way is to run a nand android build, and one or two sd builds from magldr ad sd. wiping, flashing, and restoring is a bit time consuming, rather than settin up ur nand & sd builds once and just choosing what to boot into without the wiping, flashing, restoring hassle.

[Omnia 7 General] benaustin:
1) It started black screen when I was upgrading to Mango with Zune.

When restart phone and the phone could not boot up ,just into black screen.

2)The phone can enter into Download Mode(Vol up + Camera + Power).

Even I tried to flash I8700XENJK1 with Downloader 7.03, everything looks good , processing bar, success message. The only things was when finished flashing, the phone restarted and booted up into black screen and nothing could be done then.(Downloader 7.14 also tried)

3)trying Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2.exe which runs well and no error but when came to restart phone, it still went into black screen.

4)In the black screen, I can not access Download Mode except putting out of the battery and put in again which probably means power is on in black screen.

I am not sure which problem causes this, Flash, CPU or other things. Please help me out of these troubles.Thanks.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
How long did you leave it out of interest?

Mine sat at a black screen when rebooting for a good 5 minutes or so...
[Omnia 7 General] benaustin:
I think when I used the Downloader 7.03 tools, there was a message of waiting for several minutes after flashing.

Beside I wait more than 10 minutes, and nothing changed.

Thanks anyway

When I went RTM from NoDo, I got a black screen that seriously was there for like half an hour..I put it down to my laptop being like 7 years old and nearly dead, and just left it alone, done nothing else on it and it eventually finished the update.

When I flashed on my mates computer back to NoDo, it was the quikest thing I had ever seen - updated back to mango and the black screen was there for like a minute.

The problem is, when you pulled it the first time, you really should have left it, I would have for at least an hour. I hope you haven't completely bricked your phone :)
[Omnia 7 General] benaustin:
First, thanks for sharing your update experience.

I have updated the phone several times without black screen once.So when black screen came out, I noticed there are something wrong.

Atfer this happen, I tried flash different version ROM, waiting for a long time.

Now I am hopefulless except some new flashing tools or new rom.

I unlocked my X10 bootloader when it was released, since then i've realised I still had credits in my davinci account, so I thought I'd have a crack at sim unlocking it.

The question I have is, will this brick my device if flash the 2.1 software back, perform the unlock and then flash back to cm7?

Maybe no-one has tried it yet, but I'm looking for a sensible answer with some evidence to back it up.

Cheers ppl

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu|:
OK, So yes I can sim unlock it with davinci, But now I'm back to having a locked bootloader which is probably because it rewrote s1_boot in doing the sim unlock.

Soooo, now I can use another network sim which is my main priority as i just switched contracts.

But I'd like to have an unlocked bootloader so i'm not crippled and can go back to FXP and not SE GB.

I know I could unlock the bootloader and not have network access but that defeats the object of having it sim unlocked.

Looking back, There are a few things that would make this a lot easier....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiejohansen:
Hi!

I had the same problem.

I was able to unlock bootloader and running Linuxdx+GingerDX.

Then i wanted to unlock my phone, did it with davinci app and worked all just fine, but after trying unlock my bootloader again the sime network crashes.

I have tried both choices on my phone both semc unlock and seetool unlock.

The same problem.

Only way to rescue my bricked phone is to make a "new" unlock again.

Now i have paid a unlock a couple of times so i dont dare to try unlock bootloader again.

Well i really like LinuxDX+GingerDX.

I beleuve that i am stock with STOCK kernel and GingerDX until a solution is here...

So let me break the ice. If i had the money to spend i would keep the Defy ( go for a Defy2 in the future) and buy a white iPhone 4S. They will be like the beauty and the beast, yin and yang, angel and demon.

Still, with all the strictness Apple has, 4S is a good phone- price aside. And it has that one thing that shakes Android. One phone- everything works.Every app works. Steve Jobs was right- In order to make the best product you must have control over the software as well as hardware. Microsoft is trying to implement that with it's Windows Phone 7 phone- as you can see from specs. Android must do the same, and i know it will in the future. Only better apps and better UI can come out of this.

I just hate it when i download Asphalt 6 from the market and it does not work. Must go and get the SD files from the cracked version... when i could have saved the money. << An example, not the only app.
