im running the GBVK1 rom and i was wondering if you could compile a black theme. i really like the doomed froyo theme and would love it if you could make the same/similar one for this one using like color variants of black and dark greys. im using adw black theme from sean white and those icons look awesome! if you could put something together, i would really appreciate it. i'll attach the framework. please let me know if you need more details or anything else. much obliged.

pl guide me how can i backup original ROM to mobile or PC. my current ROM details are as under

Model ZTE Blade

Android version 2.2

kernel version. 2.6.32.0-mck-1.3

also to know what generation do my ZTE Blade have.

regards.
[Blade General] Reasec:
download from android market "ask mr. pigfish" it will show you what gen you have.
[Blade General] discy:
yeah. i would like this too: create a image.bin from my stock rom so I can easily put it back when I want to RMA it.

this might help

if it help hit thnks
[Blade General] wbaw:
kernel version. 2.6.32.0-mck-1.3 <- that's a modaco custom rom, not an original zte rom.

Anyway to back up any rom, use clockworkmod. As you're running a custom rom, you probably already have it installed. Turn the phone off, then hold the volume down button when you turn it on. You should see a backup option there.

If clockworkmod isn't installed (if you just get 'FTM' on screen when starting with volume down held) then you can install it using rom manager from android market on any rooted phone, or you can install it using adb & fastboot on a non-rooted phone. If Mr Pigfish says that you have 'Gen1' then you need to use clockworkmod version 3.0.1.4, the later versions are for Gen2 phones.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscreater:
Hey guys, just 2 quick questions about nandroid.

Is it possible to either bypass the MD5 checksum right at the start of every nandroid restore? OR, is it possible to generate your own one somehow?

The reason I ask is, I wanna try and replace the backed up files made by nandroid such as "boot.img", "system.img", "cache.img", "recovery.img" etc with the ones that I have extracted from a stock rom.

The stock rom I have can only be flashed through USB connected to PC, by using "SP Flash Tool". However, I have 2 problems using it. The first is that it doesn't work properly for me. I can only flash the "system.img" file but not the other .img files. It seems I need a USB-to-UART cable to flash ALL the .img files, which I don't have and I don't plan on wasting my money buying it either. Besides, I find flashing on a PC a lot more risky than from memory card.

The 2nd problem I have is that I often have problems getting my phone detected by "SP Flash Tool". I tried using Windows 7 and XP and it's hard to get a connection properly. It's most likely because the phone i'm using a chinese clone, called "STAR A1000". It's cheap and crap, so I'm not surprised that I can't establish a stable connection to my PC. I only got lucky like once or twice but haven't been able to flash from my PC ever since.

So anyway, the stock rom I have contains all the .img files. I wanna try and replace those files with the files generated by nandroid, but of course there's the problem with the MD5 checksum file that will check if the file matches or not. So I need a way to bypass the MD5 checksum completely or force nandroid to perform a restore regardless of the conditions. Either that, or I need a way to generate a MD5 checksum for the .img files from the stock rom, and use that for my nandroid backup.

My last question is, I also have custom roms that are made to be flashed on the memory card. Of course, they contain the "boot.img" file, and so I wanna try and replace that with my own working "boot.img" file. I want to know if this will work when I try to flash it in the recovery, or will it fail and brick my phone?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] isoDUB:
my dad just got me a Transformer and ZAGG screen protector. i dont wanna sound like an ass to him, but honestly the screen protector was a waste of money. can we return it to best buy even though its used or did he just waste his money?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] valentinoh:
I think it was a good investment...but probably can't return it used
[Eee Pad Transformer General] isoDUB:
ah..well there goes $30. well on another subject, what roms should i check out? been wanting a Transformer for a while. still can't believe i got one :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CaNsA:
Give it a couple of weeks then look closely at the screen protector. You will see a load of places where the Zagg has done its job without even a tear.

I use the Zaggs on my sgs2, my missus' sgs2 and on my tf.

Spending a bit of cash to protect the sceen of something that isnt exactly cheap is always a good idea, considering it would be near useless with a cracked/shattered screen......
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
+1 for ZAGG. I use their screen protectors on my phones. There might be bubbles for a few days, but they will start to disappear. Also, if they get too ratty looking, you can exchange them for a new one for a small fee.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
yeah you sounds like an un grateful ass.;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lathanub:
I could only recommend that you use the screen protector, especially as it is a ZAGG one and not some cheap protector, either! I use the ZAGG full body kit on my HTC Desire and it has been absolutely amazing and I've just ordered the kit for my Transformer, as well because I know how good has been for my phone.

Screen protectors are never a waste of money in my honest opinion - especially a ZAGG screen protector!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uploder:
ill be picking this one up.

its a dry install one plus the install is alot easier than most. im DONE w/ wet apply screen protectors. DONE!!

Back to the original question- I think Zagg has a 45 day return period, but I'm not how that works with Best Buy.

Hey, I used to have CM7 but I flashed back to a Sense ROM, but I got tired of it and I want CM7 again. I don't like CM's camera, cuz it doesn't uses all the screen to take a pic. Is there anyway to use all the screen? Also, whats the difference between stable and nightly? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
What do you mean by "it doesnt use all the screen?"

Well, stable builds are stable. Nightly builds arent.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
He means you can't view what the camera sees with your whole screen. Try the MIUI Camera. download MIUI and extract the camera, install. Get cm7 back of course. I would be on cm7 but no matter what I do the GPS will never work when I need it.

[Motorola Droid 3] Rlin5741:
I'm not sure if this occured with the pre-OTA 890 version, but I noticed that the radio on the 890 is very flaky, it turns on and off at will. However, I notice that this usually happens when Wifi is on at the same time as the radio and the radio bars show up as blue or if you simultaneously see 3G and Wifi logos, both blue. I also further noticed that this appears to happen only if I reboot or boot up with the wifi and radio activated - if I turn off the wifi before rebooting, the signal is very steady and I never see the combination of blue basr/3G logs and blue wifi. Has anyone else seen this activity? Hopefully this will help those having issues with the radio.

I applied the OTA while rooted, and this issue appears to remain if my phone is rooted or unrooted.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
This theory is very interesting and hopefully someone has a professional answer for this.

I'll try to see if I recognize any difference. I am using the Droid 3 in GSM Mode.
[Motorola Droid 3] Raa_1:
Try using JuiceDefender. I've been using that since I had my phone and it automagically manages my wifi/data connections, seems to settle it quite well for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] whiz98:
Guys.. I need some help.

I flashed my Droid charge with Gummy chage 2.0 + Voodoo fix lately. Everything works fine except the issue with my car Bluetooth kit.

My car has built in Bluetooth with phone book, which is pushed from phone. When I have EE4 stock, I was able to see all of my contacts from car Bluetooth, and make phone calls. But now, I do not see any contacts. Is Gummy chage 2.0 missing any application to support this?
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
Droidzone, your totally right, there are like 3-4 same roms ... This is jus madness... Get those copyers out now ;o

Greetz
[Desire Android Development] chrismast:
Totally agree with the statement. There are too many Roms that are 99% the same which makes it not easy to choose one, especially for people with not much experience relating to Roms. On the other side, don't make those "rules" too strict as this is a possible entry barrier for new Rom developers and would limit the varierity.
[Desire Android Development] horatiuspawn:
Totally agree.
[Desire Android Development] kfasheldon:
Agree 100% , if your just 'adjusting' or 'modding' a rom place the file in a post on original Rom thread , if its a good mod I'm sure users will apteciate it and the original dev may put on op or even enhance the official rom from it.

This way those would be devs will gain respect and learn the trade , without annoying everyone with 'copies' .

Otherwise we could set up a 'mods' section on the forumn to move all copied roms to, would clear the clutter.

Cheers all devs
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
AGREED ...

I am leaning towards learning ROM development myself but there is so much to learn and because i have this interest i have downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 and i am starting to learn how that works and i'll take it from there.

I mod almost every ROM i use before i flash it and trust me 7zip and notepad++ dont make you a DEV, YES it is always nice to see new DEVs and work being released but like back in the froyo days there was 3 Sense 1.9 ROMs that i tested, namely AuraxTSense, LeeDroid and Startburst. Even though they seemed the same they are very different and unique...

Now if you look @ AcedOff, Aurora and CoolAces3D, they are all Cools work and are no different and suffer from the same bugs. All these ROMs are creating is congestion.
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
Or we could all just use our common sense.
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
Got to be careful of making a l knee jerk reaction to one or two roms. I found the new stock gingerbread very useful, and that cooker was not a Dev as described by the rules above.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
100% agree.

I started messing around with redux source code, intergrated android 2.3.5 source into it, modified jar files, added code, removed code and compiled a unique ROM. I can debug it and can answer yes to maybe half of those questions...

I can completely support my ROM and it isn't a simple clone, but too strict would create a barrier for me at least.

But I am sick to death of seeing people with "recognised Developer" status for simply running someone else's ROM through dsixda kitchen and selecting all the options :( - Surely this belittles the whole recognition?!

Perhaps the question should be:

Did you install someone elses rom, flash a couple of mods then run the backup through dsixda kitchen?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The new stock gingerbread could have been had from teppic's thread posted many weeks ago (with additional mods). In fact, any newbie could easily have made it by running the zip available from HTC's site through dsixda's kitchen, which is whom the kitchen is intended for..
[Desire Android Development] michaelm_007:
@3f1f37

Before the start again: But AceSMod007-3D is from me and not from coolexe! Otherwise it would not have been unlocked again my thread!!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
@rootsu, yours isnt a clone of anything, and if anything deserves Rom status, it's a Rom built from Android source and modified periodically..

I dont mean the dev should satisfy all these criteria at the time of his first build..

At least he should have done original development of his own..which includes things other than cut-copy-paste and changing hboot/fitting a rom built by another dev on another partition layout..

In any case, these are just suggestions...Maybe it could be a guide for future devs to let them know that blatant copying of someone else's work is not acceptable to the community at large
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
Yo Micheal

I was in no way taking a shot at your work buddy, i am refering to ACED OFF!!! and not your AcesMod007.

I know there is a differences between you work and coolexe's, actually i commend you for your time and effort. You and cool remind of Baadnwz and Robocik from 1st half of this year, when the Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrids were coming out. They had similar features but were unique, this applies to both your work and cools.

To further put a feather in your hat, i am im-patiently waiting for your SagasMod007-3D to come out of beta as i follow your work very closely :p
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
You could be in danger of alienating noobs who come on here for advise, who want to learn to develop a rom from source or from a ruu. Surely the way to start to learn is from the start!

Not everybody has the knowledge like u Droidzone, but u never had it once either. You learn by doing.

I said im not a dev, i did mine cus there wasn't one out there that fitted for me.Now if i think that then somebody else might, so it helps them to.Surely this is where u start to learn. Granted if there was a rom somebody posted exactly like mine id be like wtf, so i do understand.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Honestly, the dev section is not (imho) for newbies who want to learn to develop, but for developers who have their own contribution to add to the forum..In other words, something genuinely developed by them, and not using the kitchen to select 1,2,3 and make a zip..

For learning to develop, why not make a thread in the General/Q&A section and make a collaborative effort? Then once there is an actual developed product, anyone can release it here.. Agreed, there was a time when I knew nought.. But by the time I released my first rom, I did know enough..Look at people like rootsu who were helping people out for years and learning the tricks of the trade, so to speak, before releasing their first product?

I fail to understand how anyone can call using a bash script and selecting a couple of options as development.. dsixda's kitchen, in dsixda's own words, is intended for newbies to modify a rom for personal use, and in his own words: 'dont expect the kitchen to transform you into a developer overnight'..

Mods are mods, and original roms are that.. Maybe mods can be released in the General section..
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
For me, using dsixda to make stock roms is ok, so long as there arent loads of them available or they offer something different.

My personal issue (without naming names) is someone taking an AOSP ROM or even a Sense Port that is already released by a dev, runnig it through dsixda to add nanotext editor, a2sd+, zipalign or someone else's kernel, then release it as their own ROM and call themselves "Dev".

I personally do not see myself as a Dev. I couldn't take a ROM from another device, and make it work on the desire, or build a ROM for another device without the vendor and device directories from a working repository. I think I am a compiler at best. I can take source code from here and there, put it all together and compile a working ROM.

If I can't call myself a dev but people who take other people's roms and run through the kitchen then call themselves a dev, theres something wrong there. And then XDA supports them with "recognised developer" status :confused:

EDIT> @ Droidzone - I would definitely support a Development Q&A Subforum here. I can't believe we haven't got one. I'm sure devs would visit that to help, rather than n00b central (i.e Q&A)
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
i do agree there droidzone, a dedicated place for people to learn is what this needs.

if it had the support from people like rootsu(who has helped me no end) then it can benefit everybody.

But the support needs to be there not just from the odd one or two.
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
I don't have a PC. So its been very useful. and not something I could of easily done. Or have the time. Its a nice upgrade. We shouldn't limit what's available to the rules of the first post.
[Desire Android Development] will8578:
Can a mod move this thread, its in the wrong section lol only messing, i can see your point of view, you bust your balls to make a rom and fix it and then someone adds a few tweaks and mas it their own, and they think cause they thank you, it makes everything ok, and its not being selfish on your part, you take another rom from a phone that isnt ours, transform that rom so that it works on our phone, to me that is amazing, you put all that effort in and then you must be so proud when you hav finished and majority of people are happy, i can ee how it hurts when someone changes a few things, problem is, youll never win, how many times do things get posted cause someone cant search, anyway to all the devs, keep up the hard work because 99% of the world appreciate your work, dont let the 1% spoil it for the rest !
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
This completely.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
...Its clearly not working though ;)
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
Then there is one simple rule.

Any uploaded ROM shamelessly, blatantly and/or knowingly hijacked from a Developer should be posted as a mod of said ROM, in ORIGINAL thread, with the permission of original ROM developer as a link to download with changes .txt file.

Otherwise will be deleted from forum.

This rule will only apply to open threads. With working download links.

Simples!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If that could be enforced, that would work for me.
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
with this in mind what does that make my rom? out of interest!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Dan, I have nothing against your Rom..If people find your Rom useful, it definitely deserves its place in the section..But do add your own useful innovations (in time), otherwise it would be a duplicate of teppic's work, minus some apps..
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It wouldn't affect your rom as you have not taken another devs rom and modified it
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
if it was from the ruu, I guess its not stolen, its fine where it is. If you stole another devs ROM, it should be posted in their thread (as a simple link to ROM and change log) with their permission.

That's my two cents anyway.
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
good cus i was starting to feel it was my rom that started it off! i get a lot of help off this forum, and i see rules need to be in place but not at the expense that other feel this place isnt helpful.

thats it from me i gotta do some work im getting far to involved in making my phone perfect!!!
[Desire Android Development] YorickRise:
For me the [ROM]/[MOD] seems really reasonable, other way is to add "Desire Android Customization" or "Desire Android ROM variants" section, but this is less preferred option.

Development/modding: basically I appreciate both kind of activities, but work effort for them is generally different and the value for users as well (usually*). Anyway newcomers usually start with smaller tasks only to get experience. And contribution "value" usually grow over time, so it is good to have all in one place.

* sometimes small changes in ROM makes huge difference in user experience :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I think a Development QA / Test section would cover all this. Wannabe developers can ask questions and post their early creations for feedback.

Wonder what XDA "Staff" think fo all this.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
If there is enough opinion (and votes) from people supporting the concept, this feature can be requested. After all, the primary objective of XDA is to make this a better place for developers.
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
You make a good point Droidzone, this is an xda wide issue and can be a big irritation

Sent from my s-off HTC sensation running LeeDrOiD Sensational
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Indeed but I feel XDA really falls over here. The development section is for releases only and you can never get a dev question answered properly in Q&A because its full of people RUUing over CM7 hboot and wondering why it fails.

There is the chef central but thats is slow and non-device specific so you cannot get the tailored answers you require.

I had so many development questions that I could not get answered. In the end I had to jjust dig in and try and figure them out, or PM devs for advice. It was a long and painful process.
