[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmeadows013:
Not sure what you are asking. For the sdk tools, do you mean the android sdk? If so, follow the instructions on the sdk page. For the images, I assume you mean the boot.img and possibly system.img. You do not open these. If you have a system.img, that means you probably have a shipped rom. Use the kitchen to create working folder from rom, and choose this. It should auto extract the system partition. As for the boot.img, you don't generally need to extract this, but there is an option in the advanced settings of the kitchen. You can change your rom's kernel in the boot.img.

Hey Guys!

First of all a bit of encouragement. The android kitchen sure as hell does not turn you into a rom developer. I decided i wanted to use the kitchen just over 2 weeks ago and run ubuntu in a virtual window. From then I decided I did not like windows anymore so installed linux as my main os and had to learn that (trust me getting the graphics card to work was a chore) I finally got the kitchen working tonight and decided to sign up to xda. Even with my limited knowledge I have been able to help someone on here tonight. Read Read Read and ask questions if you can not find the right answers on the forum. Research pays off eventually. (I now softmod nintendo wiis professionally from learning off a forum!!!!) Remember everyone has to start somewhere even if you are a noob and don't get disheartened if someone says you should have read this this and this. As long as you learn from ur mistake I'm sure people wont mind too much.

Here's my advice for those looking to make their own Android ROMs.. Stop. Write an app or two first, learn how the system works from a developer standpoint. Learn some Java. Read the developer documentation. Learn how to use Git. Then learn how to build AOSP from source. Read the porting guides, and learn how the build system works (the links below have almost everything you could possibly want to know). Now try to put your new found skills to work on enhancing the platform by writing code or making theme overlays. And share! And put that **** on your resume. There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject.

Android Developer Guides: http://d.android.com

Working with AOSP source: http://source.android.com

Platform Developer Guide: http://pdk.android.com

How Dexopt works and what are those odex files: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pla...5936;hb=master

The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs. Read every single page. Twice. Some of the info isn't up to date, but you'll get a really good idea about what goes into actually configuring Android to work on a real device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaf0e:
can u shoot me a couple links for the kitchen/other tools download
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirThumpaLot:
What version of Linux are you running? Are you running Ubuntu? I never had much luck using the Android Kitchen in a virtual environment for some reason. When I installed Ubuntu as my main OS, however, that made all the difference. From there you'll also need to make sure you have the Java Developers Kit (JDK) installed or at least open-jdk (Open source alternative) installed in order to run the Android Kitchen or the SDK for that matter.

There's a really good tutorial on how to set up the SDK on Ubuntu 10.10 or Ubuntu 11.04 which is what I had used to set up the SDK on linux for the first time. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921169

I prefer 10.10 just because I'm not huge on Ubuntu's newer Unity interface and my old laptop seems to run 10.10 a lot better than 11.04 or 11.10 but that's another story.

Once you have the SDK setup, you can then run the kitchen accordingly.

I use a tool called Android Utility by tommytomatoe which is essentially a collection of tools for creating custom ROMs, editing apk's, etc. It just happens to also include dsixda's kitchen which is a nice plus. You can download that here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3303-utility-android-utility-apktooldex2jarsmalimoremac-linuxoct09-2011/

Hope this helps. Good luck, dood!

**Edit** My bad... There's also a thread for Android Utility on XDA also....

Is there a way to reduce that like what I had on my cm7 milestone

Decompile framework-res and lower the values in res/values/array.xml

Yea I know that but I was hoping for a GUI because I like to constantly change it depending on where I'm going. Eg ultra low values normally. Slifhlty higher when its a Sunny day etc. Have to do that each time is loooong
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
Mhh, why you need to change them on a sunny day? in the array.xml you can set different values for different light sensor values, so when its a sunny day it should automatically choose the maximum brightness for the display.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stri:
Hi,

I'm using an SE Arc. I've managed to update to CM7 but it switches between the CM7 animated screen and the main screen (locked)

Problem is I can't access the phone so I can't get alternative builds onto the phone.

The SE arc won't let me revert to the stock build. I think if push comes to shove I'll stick my SD card in a friends phone and do it that way. Alternate suggestions?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
you can flash it to 2.3.4 and relock bootloader for use SEUS.

But i dont understand what is problem :/
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stri:
Ah right. Well the problem is two fold

1. When CM7 loads it shows the animated screen (the circle) and the device either stays on the screen (still animating). It means I can't access the phone.

2. If I reboot to console, format and reinstall, same thing. If I revert to the backup the device doesn't start

I can't get an alternative rom on the device because I con't access it.

Hope that explains it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
I personal dont know how to help you, but i would recommend to you that ask for a help on cyanogenMOD forum, cuz it related with them, they will know better then anyone of us here.

Hi Guys,

Running the latest stock firmware here, but when I click on the system firmware update option, check update is greyed out and I'm told "There is a system firmware update for your device. Please check notifications."

Well there is no notification and I am running the latest firmware..... Is this a bug? Anyone else have this?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Paul:
Hmm I assume by the lack of replies it's just me. I've tried plugging into my dock to see if that was the issue, but alas the same problem persists.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
The notification is a little triangle in the status bar. It's not the most obvious icon.

Lastly, if you can download the update, you can rename it to update.zip and maybe flash it through recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaros_Kill:
Ive gotten the notification recently but im on a rooted tf. when i click it, it just dissapears and nothing downloads or anything. Seems like a bug because im also on the latest firmware, even if it is the Prime rom. Plus only 2 or 3 ppl have reported it.

There is no notification, I have the latest firmware already installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Sorry, my reading comprehension was below par. I understand the issue now. Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All. Find DMClient and hit the clear data button.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Paul:
Ok will have a go, thanks. What does the DMClient do?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
That's the file responsible for firmware update. If u are rooted, u can use titanium backup to freeze the file to stop the system from checking for and notifying of updates

Thanks for this --- had to Google to find this thread because a lot of people don't seem to mention it, so it must be a problem that isn't very widely spread.

I was wondering why I hadn't gotten an update since September! Finally, abnormal battery drain solved! Wooo :)

Clearing the data for the DMClient when the system says an update is available but has no actual notification to hit, should be added to the troubleshooting thread as a fix.

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S ii, coming from the captivate im cofortable with the phones menu layout and everything. I live on a borderline 3G / Edge area and it always likes to change on me. I get full service with edge but it usually likes to sit with one bar of 3G instead of full tower edge. This is only an issue at my house cause im on wifi anyway and dont need the 3G internet here. On the captivate I had a toggle where I could use GSM only or WCDMA only and it seems not to be here on the sgs2. Is there a way to get around this and toggle 3G and Edge when I want to?

Hi all i need some help, just got a used m7 and all i did was taking out the battery whilst giving it a clean when i power up after the htc logo instead of booting up it got stuck on a screen showing ph n connection to pc :-( what should i do i ve no experience with win7. Thanks for any help
[7 Mozart General] Necroman_AI:
You can try doing a hard reset following these procedures:

1- With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons, and then briefly press the POWER button.

2- Wait for the screen to show the instructions on how to do the factory reset, and then release the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons.

3- Follow the instructions onscreen to factory reset your phone.

It should solve your problem, if not try using the Windows Phone support tool:

Tks for the reply. I tried the hard reset but then it went straight to enter usb mode funny thing is that this ph has never been connected to pc or any attempt to upgrade...mind boggles

If you want to do that you just have to install another launcher from the market (Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, ...)

Please use this thread for all your discussion about the Nightly builds for CM7 for the Atrix.​

It is important to note that Nightly Builds are not for most Users

Things to know about Nightly Builds:

Not Stable releases

Will have bugs / issues

Not intended to be used as main everyday ROM

Are not Fully Supported like Stable Releases

Should not be used by people that are not Masters of ADB

You Should be comfortable enough to recover from soft bricks On your OWN

90% chance you will be wipping your data (factory reset) at some point and time

​

Is or are the Dev team also creating different tweaks/builds seperate from Cyanogenmod or will the teams work just be incorporated into the nightly builds?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
Excellent! Allrighty, lets kick off this party with a bang. First off, thanks to all the Devs and others who made this a reality. Nightly builds = awesome. After installing this with the latest version of Gapps, everything is working beautifully. Very excited to see where this is going. Faux123's stopgap kernels WILL work with this build so far and I have tested them. Only thing I've noticed so far is that, for the first time for some reason, I am unable to buy an app from Market and bill it to my AT&T account. Option seems to have disappeared. I've heard of others discuss this, and I'm assuming that the change language to English fix will work with this, but haven't tried it yet. Umm...ring lock screen seems to be working with less lag than before. Other than that, have nothing else to report at this time. Thanks again all, and happy flashing!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phoneguy589:
You might find it being offered by someone willing to make a workaround to get it to work. Being that "Android" didn't put the fingerprint scanner in the phone and no other phone has one, you'll have to wait for someone to actually make a script that can be added to CM7.

I got that when I updated to the stopgap version. Just use Titanium Backup to backup your market apk and then uninstall it. Restore it and use the "App Only" option and do not restore data. After its done simply open Market and add your account.
