Nice review dude!

Nice review..cant wait android 4.0 ported on my device
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thanamesjames:
Nice review, it looks to be smooth for the most part but, a little slow loading apps at times. Of course thats to be expected from an SDK port.

My big question is how is the messaging app? Does it look nice?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] info[]box1:
Messaging app is clean and near with a nice splash of metro UI. I will post a screenie.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MustangChris04:
Hey guys, Ive got a question.

My company has an android application that we license to companies, and we would like to purchase a few hundred android devices to load our application on to and then sell the devices at cost, but license the software that is on the device.

We have looked at several different android devices and saw the Archos 43 at a good price point, with the screen size we want. We are currently using Motorola i1's, but want something cheaper, and something that give us the ability to customize what firmware is on the device.

I was wondering if there is quick way (remember, we are going to have hundreds of these devices) to load our application on this device, and strip/remove all pre-loaded applications that came with the device.

We only need the wifi and the camera to work.

Would it be easiest to have a custom ROM that has basic Android with our program built in? Can this even be done, and are there any restrictions on this device as far as flashing a custom programmed Android OS. I see on Archos's website they talk about being able to load custom images, but not much detail about it.

On their website it states, "...ARCHOS has ‘opened up’ their Internet Tablets allowing users to install or even replace the Android system installed on the device."

This statement says that its "opened" up the tablets, but throughout the forums I see that the device doesn't already come rooted, and you need to root it before flashing a new ROM.

Thanks,

Christopher
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
1. Std. Archos is not rooted and is not even able to be rooted atm.

2. Archos has provided the SDE, a customised FW that allows a second kernel and Initram to be installed.

3. because you can then remove the Archos Android you can have a "custom rom".

You can't really stip down the Android to a point where it is secure without a very good knollage of android and the device itself.

To see how easy a custom ROm could be installed, look at UrukDroid installation.

http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Installation
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrulri:
Hey Chris

What you've read on the ARCHOS website is the SDE firmware. This "special" firmware from ARCHOS will not replace the operating system but it will you allow to install any custom kernel / initramfs.

So I think you better stick with the original firmware, but modify the system image as far as you want to go. Then you modify the init script in the initramfs to do not check the signature of the system image and there you go, easily customized Android, based on the original ARCHOS firmware.

BUT: Even though it's quite easy to flash a custom kernel / initramfs (just boot into recovery mode), it's not that easy to replace the system image because you have to write some scripts in the initramfs to do so and to be able to "upgrade" the image, etc..

That's just my input. Have a look at the links in my signature for further tricks and hints how to do stuff and links to my projects which are based on SDE and ARCHOS firmware.

There might be another solution, stick with UrukDroid (search the forums), an already highly customized and improved version of the official ARCHOS firmware, including installer, tools, etc..
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MustangChris04:
Thank you both for the fast replies.

I'd rather not try go the two routes you have mentioned just for legality reasons, because the devices will be resold and I wouldn't want to get into that area...

Do you know of any devices that are more open to modification?

Thanks again.

You need to post files elswhere,not where you have to join.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I'm sure you put in work for at least the menu icons and the boot animation, but is that really all you did to this ROM? Wouldn't it have made more sense to just make it a theme? Also, I'm pretty sure XDA doesn't want you placing your ROM for download on a site that requires registration.

Just saying.
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
Congrats on your first rom, I hope to see more personal customization later down the road.

Hello!

My friend has problem with SGS+. He connected his phone to upgrade firmwire by Kies, but when KIES entered downloading stage it has freezed on 4% (it was liked that 30 minutes). So, he unplugged cable and he ran kies emergency firmware recovery but he can't ran phone in recovery mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdfzhi:
kies was, and will always be buggy and stupid way to upgrade. he should use samfirmware+odin to spare the hassle and headache
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mom4751:
same thing, Kies locked at 4% for 1 hour and 30' ...

I haven't yet disconnected the phone from usb.

Phone says "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"

What can i do?

:(

EDIT: fortunately i have been able to access the download mode and ODIN saved me. Kies really sucks.

Hey, I am looking for BLN (backlight notification) enabled on this phone. I had it on my g2x and miss it a little bit. I have searched and searched and there are several patches to flash on the vibrant and other similar phones including the samsung galaxy s2 (non-t-mobile) but since they are not designed for this phone i don't want to flash and mess it up and the threads say they may not be compatible. Can anyone make this phone BLN capable? Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
as soon as Devs are able to port any of the ROMs / Kernels with BLN build in then we can use that, there's no much we can do until then.

Unless you want to help coding, and help the team port some of that stuff over ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Romanbb:
Give it time. T-Mo SGS2 has had broken kernel source and supposedly Samsung fixed that today so we should start seeing some custom kernels pop up sometime soon I imagine. I will be playing with the source tonight a little myself.

Also, don't ever, ever, flash anything that's not for your T-Mobile SGS2. Plenty of people have learned the hard way from what I've been reading here ^^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] khtims:
cool, thanks guys. I would totally help coding but i would mess it all up. my programming ends with website design. Anyway, i will be patient and wait for a modded kernel. Thanks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] movieaddict:
they fixed it today??????????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
We just need to have a Kernel that is enabled with BLN. Its coming soon hang in there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I read somewhere the source was fixed.

Well what was wrong before and/or what was fixed? Just curious ....

The goal is not to wipe anything from my phone. This is why I have never bothered to root my phone. I knew something would go wrong, and it would be so easy like everyone says it is.

I have busybox and battery calibrator, but say im not rooted. Superuser shows no apps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
To be clear, you were using nothing but stock 2.2 Froyo. You then used the OneClickRoot method for rooting, follow all instructions exactly as they're listed. After you rebooted, you attempted to download and use an app that requires root and it didn't work. Is that correct?

I've noticed that occasionally Titanium Backup won't properly recognize root until you've wiped the data for it through the Applications Manager.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
thats correct. The only thing that does recognize root is now battery calibrator. Superuser still shows no apps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
so far the only app that recognizes root is battery calibrator. Busybox, TB, and autokiller memory optimizer dont recognize root. super user shows no apps. Im wondering if my phone is even rooted, since after using battery calibrator, my phone has dropped 15% in the last 20 minutes. Nothing is even running on my phone. its just sitting there.

I did use Root Checker, heres the results...

Im sure that im putting the update.zip on the internal sdcard and that it isnt called update.zip.zip. Ive been at this for 3 days now...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
Anything? Ive posted the results from Root Check... really didnt think rooting would be this much of an ordeal
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
How about if you unroot and start over.

Get a terminal (any terminal) from the market or if you have adb set up and run these commands.

su

rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk

rm -r /system/xbin/busybox

rm -r /system/bin/su

reboot

Then start over with the update.zip from the stickie that I show you yesterday.

I don't usually solicit thanks but this is going on two days now. How about a little something for the effort, eh? hahaha
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
I did try ot unroot last night with one click root and it says Im not rooted when I try that. I did use the update.zip from the sticky you gave me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
When i used the terminal I got:

rm failed for -r/system/bin/su, no such file/directory

reboot: operation not permitted
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
At this point, i would say Odin back to stock or try to re-root with the first method you tried. I agree though, it should not be this hard to do it. If you do end up going back to stock, just use the update.zip method to root it. It works so much easier.

Like I said yesterday, it took less than 3 mins to do it. It actually took me longer to download it than to do it and I never once hooked up to a PC. Did it all through phone with browser, xda app and root explorer.

Did you type su and then enter first? Did ask for superuser permission? From what you posted last night and now this, I am almost positive that you are not rooted and Odin-ing back tostock is the way to go and start over.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
I just deleted the update.zip file. im gonna start over, again. Should it remain zipped? Or do I need to extract it? Ive also read somewhere the update.zip needs to go in the j:/ or the root of the internal sdcard? I dont see that anywhere on the internal sdcard or anywhere in my files. Ill try the terminal again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
tried the su command alone in terminal, says it cant find it. and now that I removed update.zip and attempted to start over, battery calibrator isnt recognizing root either now
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Don't unzip it. Leave it alone and put it on your internal sd (the one with DCIM) on it (but not in DCIM) and I don't know what letter the drive is. Just put it on the sdcard and reboot into recovery, install packages and the rest of the directions from that stickie.

How I did it was I downloaded the update.zip. It went into a folder I call Download (there is an app in market called Download All Files and I set up dl to go into specific folder). I pulled it out of there and put on internal SD and then followed directions of post. Easy-peasy done. Then I downloaded Rom MGR and backed up my original ROM, (I already had Titanium for about a year so did nothing with that), downloaded SGSkernel flasher and backed up my kernel. After that I flashed a ROM and moved on to the next tweak.

Good Luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
I think I also downloaded 3e recovery a while back. could this be an issue?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
Im doing everything right then, and have been. Could my phone be locked from being rooted by the manufacturer?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
No

The update.zip has the hijacks that give root user permission in side it. It is not the "root". Once rooted, that is it. I don't even have it on my internal SD (although I put it on my external in a folder as a just in case)

Odin back to stock and start over is all I can say now. Somewhere, something got fubar'd.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsLYNDZ:
all I wanted was to use Battery Calibrator to get half decent battery life. Im not going to wipe my phone for root. Im using Juice Defender but even with that I only get about 6 hours of stand by time
