Magic Jack?
[LG Thrill 4G] taytay209:
You need to install Eclipse, Jdk ver.6 and android sdk. You will also need to install "Android ADT" (android developer tool plugin) for eclipse. That's as much as I figured out so far. As far as kitchen set-up , that's where I'm stuck.
[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
Keep it rolling fellas. I'm liking the team we're forming up. Shall we get contact exchanges so we can set up a windows live group chat or something?
[LG Thrill 4G] taytay209:
If everyone has Google+ we can use the huddle feature.
[LG Thrill 4G] socomdark:
On my day off I'll dual boot Ubuntu and get everything installed and start doing my research to see if I can comprehend this. You can add me on g+. gmail is the same as my username
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
Irish, I shot you a PM with all my contact info.

I'll get an email back on Monday and can look at building drivers or what needs to be done on building drivers.

I'm on Google + under Joshua Morgan

Or we can use Group Me unless anyone is hesitant to pass out their cell number to the others. I like Group Me a lot. I use it for any group projects I have in my online masters degree classes or with my high school boys and girls soccer teams I coach. It basically creates a chat room with the individuals that you add into it. I can start a Group Me chat but y'all would have to shoot me your numbers in an email or PM.

My email is joshuamorgan1977@gmail.com
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
Irish and I have been texting, but it seems google+ is a common denominator. I'll get it installed here soon
[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
Same here
[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
Got it, hit me up with a PM, I'll give info for it
[LG Thrill 4G] elfie:
I would like to join in :).

Shoot me with some info on how to get started, I'll try to get ubuntu to dual boot on my PC tonight.

Is there an option b/w 32 bit/ 64 bit? If yes which one?
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
On the Ubuntu website they have the option for 32 or 64 bit. Just depends on which version of windows you have. I used

64 bit. They have a windows installer that does everything for you on the site
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
Okay guys, here is an abbreviated listing of the software needed for development. Each site is pretty self explanatory, but if you have problems, just ask. I apologize in advance for being short, but I'm on my phone so it's not the easiest thing to put together.

Download Ubuntu

Www.Ubuntu.com

After downloaded, you can go into the Ubuntu software place and download Eclipse or follow the eclipse instructions on the sdk website.

Download the SDK here,

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Follow the Linux instructions and eclipse section

Once everything is installed here, open the sdk manager and download your platforms and everything

Here is the Android Utility link

What platforms are we looking at?

I have question is there any way you can change default key board as Lg key board when first time booting ? ( I'm talking about the rom file)

sorry about my english:confused::confused:
[LG Thrill 4G] tylerwagler:
Guys,

The Android SDK isn't going to do you any good if you plan on porting anything or making changes to the phone's current software. If you're wanting to do any of that you'll want the NDK. As for the kernel goes, which is where all of the porting happens, we currently have the 2.6.35.7 which is what shipped with the phone. There are a few of us backporting features of higher kernel versions, but LG's coding practices are making it a real pain. Gingerbread is 2.6.38.x. Ice Cream Sandwich is 3.x. If you guys really want to get started on helping I would suggest installing Ubuntu, the NDK, Meld, and learn how to create flashable zips. The greatest help most could offer is that of testing. I don't have a thrill on me, but I'm working on this as a favor to a friend. I should have a link for my initial build up in a few hours. As it should be expected, the LG provided source does not even compile and I'm fixing that now.
[LG Thrill 4G] socomdark:
Looks like I'll have to be the role of tester. Coding still doesn't come to me easy though I will keep trying to learn so I can contribute
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
I've got a gingerbread port pretty much ready to test. Just have a couple .mk files I'm having trouble with and then I can compile. I got pretty much everything else ready for a test build. So anyone with knowledge of our BoardConfig.mk file can pm me I would appreciate it. I need that and 1 or 2 others.
[LG Thrill 4G] taytay209:
I've been reading up on linux kernels. For the last week or so. Aria it you need a tester I'm avalible on the weekends to test.
[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
I'm always open to test as well. Just send out a download link.
[LG Thrill 4G] CoryMac913:
Where do I sign up for a test spot... I am interested also...
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
As passionate as I am about this phone, I hate to say that it's for sale. When it gets to the point to where I can't sit and play a game after taking my phone off the charger without it killing my battery, it's a joke.
[LG Thrill 4G] quarlow:
I feel your pain all too well. When a feature that is so basic, most other phone users take it for granted, is missing it's emmensly frustrating. If you do sell, join us at the SGS II party. Where the hardest decision is which of the 5 stable, solid ROMs you want to flash today.

My thrill is officially sold, but I'll still be around setting if I can help out with anything
[LG Thrill 4G] latinohot:
you sold it!!!!!

and i thought you'd hang around with it for longer.

so are you getting the sgs2 or the iphone 4s?
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
I might try to go a little less mainstream. Haven't decided what I'm getting, but not an sgs ll. Actually looking to see what's going on over at the Xperia Play forum.

I was sticking around, but when I can't even play a game for a few minutes without it killing my battery, it becomes useless to me. Combine that with my phone's constant intermittent internet loss that I know isn't just my phone, and it's time to move on.
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
Just fyi, the phone, case, and extended battery just sold on Ebay for $285
[LG Thrill 4G] latinohot:

[LG Thrill 4G] latinohot:
yeah it was expected, as LG is just now starting to release GB in Europe
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
You guys are impatient. If ginger bread was that important, I don't know why y'all just didn't wait on a phone running 2.3. Just because a device says upgradable to ginger bread doesn't man you'd see it in a month or three.
[LG Thrill 4G] CoryMac913:
I am use to having android stuff take awhile... Before the Thrill, I was a Backflip user
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
I actually like the idea of not having the same phone as everybody else...
[LG Thrill 4G] ueshada:
I'm expecting to port GB with 4g when it comes Europe. I'm not sure i will be able to or not but I will try lol
[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
Shouldn't be too difficult, all you'll need is to change the code for the radio to make it comparable with the us/Canada version of the phone. I'd imagine it would be decently easy
[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
Just so you all know, this may very well be my last android phone, so I'm gonna do all I can to help bring out its full potential. Soon as Apple releases an iPhone with a larger retina display, I'm gonna switch to that, lol. Only reason I haven't gone to the iPhone yet, is cause I can't stand anything smaller than a 4" touch screen. To be completely honeset, I'm typing this right now from an iPad, probably one of the best investments I've ever made. I really want a phone that is going to work well with my other devices, and seeing that I have a MacBook, and an iPad, iPhone is the logical choice. But I will certainly do all I can to help make this device as awesome as it can be. And with GB on the way, we should see that potential start to be unlocked soon. ICS also might not be as hard as we though, as the Galexy Nexus, has almost the same CPU and the exact same gpu as our phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] ueshada:
I hate to see all good people leaving We need you guys
[LG Thrill 4G] kleeman7:
Their loss, we have ICS on its way eventually, that's good enough for me, plus the 3d and things are fun.
[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
Don't worry, I'm staying here for this device. I'll be here til Apple gets that bigger screened iPhone.
[LG Thrill 4G] AzraelsVoice:
I haven't totally abandoned you guys. Decided to go back a little oldschool style to a phone I've had before that certainly not too many others have. The Dell Streak 5. Of course it's still running stock froyo, but they're working on porting honeycomb to it. Should arrive middle of next week. I'm having phone withdrawals.

[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
That was fast! I can't wait to get my hands on that. The similarities between the Thrill and Galaxy Nexus are so close its stupid. I'd imagine its not much more than a couple kernel tweaks (don't want the Thrill running at 1.6) and drivers to get it booting.

[LG Thrill 4G] socomdark:
i'm still up for testing if you guys ever get a working build. I just saw the requirements for compiling ics and nowhere near the requirements except in storage so don't think I can't help in actual development.
[LG Thrill 4G] halfevildruid:
im in for the long haul... i have had quite a few phones and this guy is a beast... It will be worth holding on to.

I have built a couple roms for the htc hero, but did not release them for public use. Some stable and some not. Since have mostly relied on other dev builds due to not having any time. Unfortunately I was laid off awhile back and going back to school so I may put some time into working on the thrill.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Anybody able to get the source to download yet? I keep getting manifest errors...but I thought the source was fully up at this point? Google gave the go ahead...
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
Yesterday they said to hold off just a bit as there were a few bugs. Are you skipping GB and going straight for ICS for our phone?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Yea I honestly think ics will be easier to port to the Omap4 since those are the devices its being released on (galaxy nexus and pandaboard). Sure its still gonna take time, but I'd rather start putting my time into that than keep going with GB. Its gonna take a lot of people working together though, but we'll get it.
[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
Sorry you fellas don't hear from me no more, constantly working. That's what you get when you work for Apple. Lol. Anyways, has anyone gotten anywhere with moving GB from the European version to this yet? I know we're working towards ICS, but I'd like to at least have GB in the meantime. Lol
[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
Also, we should try to start another thread for the thrill, and Canadian version of this phone. I know Canada has the same name as the European version, but the model number (P925) is the same as the thrill, meaning all roms for thar will be comparable with our phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] xstokerx:
id love to see a canadain thread cuz i have this phone and some of the roms for att didnt work for rogers good to hear that ppl are still work on this phone and the best of luck to you all
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warmo161:
Hi, is there any app I can use to listen to my audiobooks which would let me pause and resume the progress throughout the book?

The books I have are simple mp3's but the default app doen't properly save where you left off?

It is for a Samsung Galaxy S II

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolverine9827:
I listen to audio books constantly and I found that Winamp seems to work best for me.... even if my phone reboots winamp picks right up where it left off. It doesn't let you "bookmark" multiple 'books' so you can't jump from one place in one 'book' to another place in another 'book' but it far exceeds the default app. All of my audio books are mp3's and when I have a single large mp3 file, Winamp's resume capability saves a lot of time and effort to scan forward to find your place.

There is an audiobook specific player on the market but it failed to play the audio for me and I found my way back to Winamp and haven't left since. And you can't beat the price! Free :D

Good Luck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warmo161:
Cool. Ill have a look and test it out. But yea as far as i know the books are just standard mp3s

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
Hi guys!

I`m sorry if this issue has already been discussed, but I`ve spent my last 4 days practically non stop online tot find a solution to my problem, and found nada.

Here`s my problem:

I own an hTC Desire and I`ve currently Upgraded my Froyo(2.2) to Gingerbread 2.3.3, running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU.exe file.

All went well, but this was kinda` stupid on my part. Gingerbread 2.3.3 works fine, but obviously I lost my root access, and also got an upgrade on HBoot, from 0.92 to 1.02, and I can`t seem to be able to root it anymore. I`ve tried everything I could find:

- Revolutionary.io - doesn`t detect my phone

- Unrevoked3 - "Unable to get root; is your firmware too new?" (duuh)

- Gingerbreak(1.0; 1.1; 1.2) - hangs on the root proccess and doesn`t get the job done, I`ve waited about half an hour, and got nothing

- HBoot flash utility from Alpharev (PC reboot on bootable CD from alpharev) - same, it hangs, doesn`t detect my phone.

- Created a Goldcard, copied new updates/ROMs to the root of the Goldcard, rebooted phone to recovery - "Version older than current" (that was expected).

Has anyone succeeded in root-ing the official Gingerbread RUU 2.3.3 on hTC Desire? And if YES, will you please, for the love of God, share it with me?

Here are my phone specs:

Android version: 2.3.3

Baseband version: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

Kernel version: 2.3.35.10-g3f43272

Build number: 3.14.405.1 CL96875 release-keys

Software number: 3.14.405.1

Browser version: Webkit/533.1

Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON

MICROP-031d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.17.05.23

To narrow it down, revolutionary is the only way so concentrate on that. Ensure you read the documentation thoroughly as it has been successful for many
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliottg61:
make sure you have usb debugging turned on then run revolutionary
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
USB debugging was always ON when attempting all of the above, "adb devices" lists my phone, so adb is fully working, I`ve also installed all of the adb SDK Windows drivers, including the "Booloader driver" - basically Windows Device Manager is OK in what drivers are concerned. I`ve covered all the basics, I`m not a newbie in this.

I realise that Revolutionary is the "main way to go", but it doesn`t detect my phone, no matter what I do.

I`m going berserk trying to root it :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not "main", only.

Tried different usb ports/ cables?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
Tried that too, tried all of the above on different PCs/laptops, both Windows XP and Seven.

Still nothing :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well you're definitely doing it right it would seem. Maybe see if you can contact the revolutionary guys?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
There`s no contact listed on their site.

Plus, those guys have better things to do than mess around with my little problems :)

A downgrade would also suffice, rooting is easy on Froyo, but thanks to this version of HBoot, I can`t do that, either.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:
Users are incredibly lazy and/or stupid when it comes to figuring out how to solve problems by themselves. Unfortunately there are also other naive fools who will help every n00b asking even the most ridiculous question possible. And because of them they will return back and ask stupid question again. And again. And again. I guess this is the new form of trolling, otherwise I can't explain how completely sane people with IQ higher than ape are willing to willingly support n00bs without actually teaching them anything useful.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
Thanks for ur "kind" words, Terepin. I do seem to have a low IQ, seeing how I`ve spent all this time trying to figure out a solution to my problem, and failed, ultimately, as a measure of last resort, asking for help here.

Please, "great one", enlighten me - and other "n00bs" like myself - : what is the solution to the problem previously presented?!

Should be easy for someone with such superior mentality.

Fact that adb sees it is one thing, but does it see Windows?

Alright i_cs_u

I did the same thing as you so used Revolutionary and it worked first time for me. I know thats no help but the only things I did different are the usual like unistall HTC sync and make sure you have the HTC fastboot drivers installed which are available on the Revolutionary site. Hope you sort it dude.........
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:
Good question. Do you even have installed HTC drivers?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
HTC Sync is long gone from PC, never really found any use for it, and yes, the drivers were installed, got them from the same site as u did. Like I said, I covered all the basics, I practically read each and every thread Google had to offer on this topic; for some Revolutionary worked, but seems like it has something personal with me, won`t detect my phone at all.

What the hell am I missing? :(

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My 1st Android:
Hi all,

am on stock firmware, rooted, and have two browsers installed: stock and firefox. Whenever the stock browser opens an 'intent' (a new url) the question comes back: which browser do I want to use. Setting a checkmark at 'remember' does not make it actually remember. Same thing happens if another app creates an 'intent'. Clearing the 'defaults' through settings-apps-apps-clear defaults (or similar: my s2 is dutch so the terms are different, e.g. settings is 'instellingen') does not help.

I even downloaded an app that should force the default browser, but that had ni visible effect.

So the question:

Anyone who knows a hack so the stock browser will not ask whether to use firefox? I have no problems with firefox as it assumes correctly that I would like to remain in the same browser when clicking on a link.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamsomone:
I had the same experience recently. I've only had my phone for a week and it was working fine but the last few days I couldn't get the stock browser to be default....it didn't matter what browsers were installed (as long as there was more than just the stock).

I started uninstalling apps that I had installed recently.

Uninstalling "claystone launcher" is what fixed the problem for me.

If you don't have claystone launcher already installed, then try removing other apps (one at a time). You can see a list of apps that you installed and when you installed them by clicking "my market account" at market.android.com.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My 1st Android:
thanks for the idea.

uninstalled a few apps,.including all alternative launchers, but to no avail :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiyucn:
I'm not sure. Something wrong with system preference?

The stock browser have this inconvenient behavior for notify user to choose browser every time. Why not stick with Firefox. It should not notify you any more.
