Google Music

Hello,

Here is the answer to your dillema from the Eclipse Rom group:

"I tried to install the new Google Music update on Eclipse 1.2. It gave me an error about packaged not signed. So naturally, I changed the Music2.apk that is in the /system/app folder to Music2.apk.bak. Rebooted and successfully installed the new Google Music update. Rebooted.

Then I started getting foreclosure notices about the Music app. Also it would launch and gave foreclose messages. I looked in the /system/app folder and the new Music app wasn't there. Searching I found it loaded in the /data/app folder as com.google.music... . I copied the that file into the /system/app folder, renamed it to Music2.apk. Rebooted.

Bam it's all good and working now.

Hope this helps."

What fixed it for me was the dalvik cleanup after uninstalling it then reboot and reinstall.

I'm really liking this ROM so far, only thing that gets me is the keyboard. Please resize the damn thing! My fingers are too big for that tiny keyboard.
[Motorola Droid X2] appye:
recovery possible?

I was playing around with the font installer thing in the rom customizer. In the options somewhere there are checkboxes pertaining to choices of fonts that are to be overwritten. After spending hours polishing this rom to just the way I like it (and NOT running a nandroid backup) I went ahead (like a dumbass) and checked ALL boxes and chose to reboot the phone. The screen went black and all the hard buttons remained lit. After a few minutes of that, I went ahead and pulled the battery. Now I can't get past the Motorola logo. Bummer. Is there any way for me to get into adb or SOMETHING that will allow me to repair the /system/fonts folder? I really don't want to go through the whole SBF/ROOT thing again, not to mention reinstalling liberty and customizing everything again.

I am an IT professional who spends a lot of time in the console, I am familiar with adb, etc. I just want to get my phone back without having to reflash everything. Is this gonna be possible?

Damn I wish I had backed this thing up before getting careless.

Do a safe boot: from off hold the menu key, pwr on, keep on the menu key until the short vib b4 lock / home.

May not help with lib as i do not think there is a stock home app.
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
Im curious does anyone have a purple led light instead of green? Im also using red theme but when I get a text or email its purple not green.

Liberated X2
[Motorola Droid X2] Jeffmeister:
Not here. Always been green.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
He can't resize the keyboard. You can, however, get replacement keyboards. There are plenty out there on the market.
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
A good replacement keyboard is Go Keyboard. It has lots of options and you can theme the keyboard too.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Great ROM! Sleek and fast, loving it! Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I went back to stock 2.3.4 - for one day and came back to Liberty. It's just too good of a ROM not to have right now.

I guess I was having "flashing" withdrawals. You know, the need to flash something new and try it out? :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Jokersplaymate:
GOSMS

I am having a package installing error, for GOSMS. any ideas???
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
try clearing market cache?
[Motorola Droid X2] jakereeves31:
It'd be waaaay cool if there were more options to change the lock screen:)
[Motorola Droid X2] Jokersplaymate:
this is on a fresh install of liberty. So it cant be that.. :(
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Sometimes, there could still be a problem with it even on a fresh install. I've always found that if there is a problem with the market, clearing the data and cache for the app seems to help.

I would do that and then download GO SMS again. I have GO SMS installed in Liberty without a problem.

Also, you did install this over a 2.3.4 image, correct and not 2.3.3? Also, did you do a data and cache wipe within the recovery?
[Motorola Droid X2] Jokersplaymate:
I did the 2.3.4 sbf and I did do the three step combo before installing liberty. I also did fix permissions once it was all booted up.. tried to install it again. =/ nothing. package install error
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
Redownload it
[Motorola Droid X2] Jokersplaymate:
Seems to not have a problem now. I tried several times afterwards tho. lol appreciate the suggestions. :eek:
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Bionic got the v.2.0 looks nice I hope the x2 gets the same love.
[Motorola Droid X2] eth3rton:
Running stock rooted 2.3.4 and I just tried to install this ROM. Downloaded via the Liberty Tool Box. Rebooted into recovery and its telling me that installation aborted. Looks like I will be SBF'ing back to 2.3.4 again now since I can't get into recovery after rebooting the phone. Stuck on the Moto screen.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
+1!!! It looks nice I hope we are so lucky
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Try to download from the link provided in the OP.

And download DIRECTLY to your.phone. just connect to wifi and download from browser or app...((if stock u will probly need app "download all files" from market...works as a plug in...download that app then u can download ANY type.of app just by pressing download link normally ))

Need any help just PM me..((I feel.like rom toolbox may have some bugs with the X2)

Also...if u made a nandroid first u at have been able to.just plug in and power down and be able to restore nandroid...

Did u do a data wipe first before install?(from bootstrap app?)
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I looked at the thread in the Bionic forum and I don't see any real difference between what they have and what the X2 has.

What exactly is the difference between the two? Just curious.
[Motorola Droid X2] phoenix2217:
8 Lockscreens (Moto, Rotary, AOSP, 4Tab, Honeycomb, Rotary Revamp, Lense and Rings) with widgets

Scrolling powerwidgets - credit DroidJunk

Theme Manager added (for donate users, more info on second post)

Just a few things but things I'd like to see on the X2
[Motorola Droid X2] eth3rton:
Failed again. Here is the error info :

Eclipse just installed fine though. Would love to give Liberty a go though....
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
+1.....you beat me to it. There are lots of differences and great differences they are.

Has anyone else had an issue with the included BSR locking up or rebooting for no reason?
[Motorola Droid X2] Xyzodiac:
I'm in the exact same boat as you. :/
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Cool. Let's hope it definitely comes to the X2. I love this ROM, but those would be great additions as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I like Eclipse a lot too but there is a reason I am on this. I was on Liberty last night and download at a brisk around 100 kbps(lightning fast for my area made it all the way to 150 once even though my Pal Pre Plus did 400kbps stock idk why the difference) and decided to switch restore Eclipse 1.3 with the same SpeedyV7, Throttle Mod and Build.Prop Mash Mod as Liberty had and was only getting about 56k. Restored back to Liberty and back to approx. 100kbps again. Idk why but that's the result.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I would throw my phone at a wall if I only had 100kbps....even when im being throttled I still get 300-650.

that sux dude...
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I don't know what else to do. I am on the latest OTA, Liberty 3, Delete Throttle files MOD, SpeedyV7 and Build Prop Mash. Any ideas Ash? Same Setup with Eclipse 1.3

I live in a rural area but have 4 bars on my couch so I don't know either. I do not have other internet so I would love to get it faster.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Bars really mean nothing

Go to settings, about phone, status....what does it say for ur signal strength and network type?

And how much data do u use a month in average? More or less than 2Gb?

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Wait a minute

are u using speestest.net app for checking speeds?

Do u have it set to show kbps OR kB/s?

I get around what u are when I have it set to kB/s

If u were getting 100kbps u would have a TERRIBLE connection..

Let's move to PM concerning this so we don't clog the thread please ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Im not at home but I will check later. Usually about 95 to 110 but ill check on my tethering spot, the couch lol
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Kbps shows on barnacle. And a download at work that goes at 300 does about 100 at home
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Sorry it was kb/s and I google speed test and the first one that pops up on my comp is the test I use. I think speedtest.net is right. It says 1.5 meg down bit ill be damned if I can get 100-150 kb/s. No matter what im downloading.

1.85Mbps with a test done with speedtest.net app. Signal was 69.

0.60Mbps down on a test done at work with a 100 signal like at home.

Im sure im just screwed until Verizon outs a new tower up closer to home lol
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
My signal at my house is also 95-105 ...I go 100yds any direction and it jumps to 75-80 tho...pisses me off lol.

I get bout same speeds as u
[Motorola Droid X2] michael7168:
These were all done at my house at different times. All depends on when the peak usage in your area is i guess
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I dont see any images popping up are/were my images on your browser? Edit: I can only see images on the app. Both my IE and Firefox wont show them. Oh Well.

So Ash....my speeds arent that uncommon
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Hahaha...they were when I thought u meant 100kbps down. Lol

that would have been VERY slow ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
made it home ash and here is the result.

plugged into charger signal 95 and it's in kbps

Not plugged into the charger. Same signal.

I think I hijacked this thread long enough lol. Bring on 2.0! :)
[Motorola Droid X2] circa881:
Is there a way to get the stock universal messages app on this ROM? I know in the Liberty Customizer I can get the Blur mms but that's just text messages
[Motorola Droid X2] bswides412:
I am loving Liberty, but I like the icons for the dialer, browser, and app drawer found in Eclipse 1.3. Does anyone know if I can pull those icons from eclipse and use them in liberty. If this is possible, where can the icons be found? Thank you
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
What if you pulled it from a stock rom and then put it in your system/app/ folder and installed it. Then reboot. That might work. Not sure it'll work all that great since I think this rom has been deblurred alot. Might be worth a try
[Motorola Droid X2] bswides412:
Is there a way to update google music? I get a signature error when I try to update from the market. I also tried removing the apk and then installing from the market, but I keep getting fc's
[Motorola Droid X2] Low00Ranger:
Just uninstall it with titanium or delete it with root browser. Then reboot and reinstall from market. I had do the same thing with maps, and youtube.
[Motorola Droid X2] bswides412:
Thanks, I had to go into liberty customized and install the aosp music, then install google music from the market. If not the google music app from the market just kept fc'ing
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
awesome! Thanks for the great ROM!
[Motorola Droid X2] circa881:
Yea, I tried that and it didn't work. There must be something else that goes along with it.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Im pretty sure there are some other things it is dependent on.

Unless u just need the deodexed version of the apk u r looking for.

but I believe that the universal messages world with the blur sms/mms and.blur email setups that I don't believe are included in liberty so that may be a problem also. Im not.positive on how it works
[Motorola Droid X2] ej1911:
I'm beginning to think that Liberty development on this phone is dead. I have emailed and asked on twitter if we will ever see 2.0. I know the devs are busy, I really appreciate their work and don't really care about a timeline, but all I hear is silence.

Has anyone heard otherwise?
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
same for me, no reply from Kejar or the Cashew
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
I'm sure if they're done with us, one of the other devs in our sub-fourm would love to pick it up.
[Motorola Droid X2] ej1911:
If they are done it would be nice to know. At least it looks like Nitro is continuing work. I have been running his Roms since the early incarnation of evil fascination and they have always been solid.
[Motorola Droid X2] strifejester:
Been using this for a few weeks now and I must say I am going back to stock this is just too slow. You would think something this stripped down would be faster but its not. I am not sure if its the ROM tools that they ahve built in or what exactly is the problem but my battery life has gotten worse and the phone is always hotter with more cpu utilization. Noticed this a few days after installing and I have done a few wipes. SBF time I guess and then just plain old root.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I went from liberty to eclipse and I am very happy with eclipse. I would suggest you give it a try before sticking with stock.
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Somethings not right with that man, any rom is gonna be faster than stock... Plain and simple.... These roms are stock without the bloat in them and then deodexed and zipaligned and charged with scripts / mods. You saying its slower than stock means you missed something somewhere or added something that did the wrong stuff...

from my X2 roaming the north
[Motorola Droid X2] circa881:
I have liberty on mine and it's super fast. Can't really say about the battery life though. I bought the phone used and I think my battery is kind of shot anyways; it does last most of the day though. The cpu doesn't get hot either

Are you using a task killer? If you are, stop.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I have found a reboot once in awhile seems to help. Not sure why, but I love the Liberty ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] blufreak:
Took me three days and many MANY repair/reroots to get this on my x10 mini pro for some obscure reason,however i am really liking it apart from when i try go to "settings" in market it force closes every time. tried deleting cache etc for the app.

Oh,and might be a stupid question,but does GoSMSPro not work with cm/ADW launcher?

Hi everbody,

after updating my Galaxy Ace S5830 to XXKPH 2.3.4 my wireless is not longer working and if i try to use Kies nothing happens... i tried so much firmwares... factory reset, everything i was able to find... i just wanted to copy GingerReal Firmware to my SD-Card because this seems to be the only way of installation...

Maybe some off you know the Odin Files?

What do you think?

[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
[NOTE]: Mods please move this thread to general Q&A if you find suitable, posting here because I think question comes more towards development side.

So now the question is:

Here are things which I know (mostly read somewhere / heard from friends etc.)

I'm seeing CM7 progress and time to time devs saying can't go ahead because Wimax driver / GPS driver is proprietary (what exactly does it mean?). While as I was discussing with friends I came to know Android only provide HAL so by logic all drivers should be proprietary or no?

I'm quite sure I've not understood something properly so I wanted to know

1. are drivers available only by manufacturer and Android only provide HAL?

2. If yes then what would it take to fetch those drivers and try writing HAL?

3. If no then how can one start writing own drivers?

I know its not an easy process at all, but I was curious so asking here.

I would appreciate all inputs, and if anyone want to share links I am up for some reading :)

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Starfox:
Android does not provide a "HAL" as in the Windows (NT) sense. Android is an operating environment running on the Linux kernel, and the programs (apps) running in Dalvik (Java-based).

The issue with CM/other generic AOSP-based build is twofold. First the driver to interface with the underlying has to be compiled into the Linux kernel. Luckily for most of us, the majority of smartphones are based on a few common chipsets (Qualcomm MSM etc.), so chances are you can find the source for a similar phone, and try to fiddle with the source to make it work. This also means that esoteric hardware (ie. WiMax) has a lot harder time getting the driver working.

Second is what allows the Android apps to use the driver to communicate with the hardware. This is where the issues like GPSone rears its ugly head, as it seems each manufacturer likes to do it's own way, so unless you are basing things on the mfg's Android builds, it's almost impossible to get it to "talk" to the driver.

In the end, that's why builds based on official/leaked builds have a lot easier time gettin everthing working because both kernel and userland "bits" are there.

-- Starfox
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
Ok so if I understood this properly :

Driver (which resides in kernel) services can be accessed by Dalvik.

And apps access services provided by Dalvik.

So in this case drivers for android would be developed in same fashion as for any other linux based system. Only requirement would be to check for manufacturer data sheet (if not source code) to tamper with.

Am I correct?

And is there a general development thread specifically for epic 4g?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The difficulty is that manufacturers don't seem to release data sheets for proprietary (customized by the manufacturer) hardware...
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
Aww man isn't it bad? I mean its same as what Apple tried doing with architecture specific Macs even Windows is trying with secure boot :-/ (But this is with phones compared to computers)

Why can't they just let devs work? I understand them having proprietary drivers but they should provide all required data to write one as well..

Well anyways I figure it won't matter even complaining about it. Anyways thanks guys I'll see if I can find any more info on manufacturer specific code.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
This isn't a Mac vs PC thing.

This is a chip thing. Providing full disclosure of the register set makes some manufacturers nervous. Primarily because with some components, enough information needs to be provided such that you could potentially copy the device. Or at least features of it.

Qualcomm and Broadcom are very bad at this. They don't release anything unless it's under at least 5 NDAs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
I think u misunderstood me. I didn't say about mac vs pc. I was trying to give example about secure boot and macs rejecting to support all hardware.

Yes I understand chips can be duplicated but if its manufactured by samsung only then they shouldn't have problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
If it gets duplicated, it is no longer manufactured by Samsung only, and therefore is a problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] metalblaster:
seeing as android is a linux based operating system i dont understand why it wouldnt be possible to actually simply build the drivers from scratch. Ive done things like this for Wificards for my debian laptop as well as video drivers for intel chips that dont have linux based drivers. if they work the same way as the linux kernel does wouldn't it be logical to be able to do something similar?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It's the chip that is proprietary - those wifi cards use relatively well-documented chip sets, our phones do not. Unless you're aware of another device that uses the -exact- same chipset, with driver source code? (The question is rhetorical)

Feel free to guess at the unique opcodes and such, but trial and error will take a really long time
[Epic 4G Android Development] rocket321:
I'm glad to see some answers on this topic as I was curious about it as well. Can anyone comment on how past drivers have been hacked? E.g. how the Evo got Wimax working in cyanogen? Did they just trial and error the hell out of it until everything worked or did someone get inside information?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
Some info

I'm pretty sure devs already have looked at it however anyone else who is wondering:

http://www.chipworks.com/en/technic.../teardown-of-the-samsung-epic-4g-smart-phone/

Samsung CMC730S	WiMax baseband processor with SDRAM

That is wimax chip for epic 4g. I couldn't find more info that the chip itself, will report again if I come close to anything :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
So apparently Samsung SWC-E100 XOHM ExpressCard also uses same Wimax chip.

I'm checking if there are linux drivers available for the card.

http://www.wireless-driver.com/samsung-swc-e100-wimax-windows-driver-utility/
[Epic 4G Android Development] metalblaster:
But the thing is that the samsung Galaxy S line of phones use what i can only imagine to be similar pieces of hardware. Wouldnt it make sense to be able to modify the drivers for say the fascinate`s camera or wifi for example to fit the epic. I know the keyboard isnt included in those phones but for the most part lines of phones tend to use similar if not the same hardware if they are made by the same companies. All it would take is to have the drivers for one or two of the phones in the same line and you would be able to practically guess the opcodes etc for the hardware signatures and make drivers accordingly. I mean a good example of this was when the fascinate drivers were used to boost our GPS or the fact that our CM7 is based off of the nexus S`version of CM7. It simply means that we have very similar if not the same hardware in most places. Now obviously if the phone is a random standalone piece with completely unique hardware then of course the drivers would be impossible to build with out the right specs and opcodes etc.

Actually on a side note, Ive been thinking about why the companies dont make a database for the drivers for each android phone effectively makeing each phone a nexus phone. It would allow for a version of android to be molded onto the phone with ease using a cookie cutter design making the creation of a newer phone easier and the support of older ones more feasible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
Well I guess sprint is only carrier using Wimax and above mentioned Wimax chips are only used in Epic. So to say this phone looks quite unique in that perspective though I think Nexus S 4G uses same chip, I couldn't find evident link pointing to it will report back as I do
