[LG Optimus 2x] biasquez:
If kernel source was released by Nvidia, i don't understand why CM said that Nvidia didn't release code for Tegra...maybe Nvidia released kernel source with binary code/driver (that is proprietary) and CM wants source code of this binary..It's impossible, Nvidia, under linux, didn't release source code of driver...but i continue to not understand one thing: if Samsung can use kernel 2.6.36 on Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy R, why LG can't use recent kernel? LG is incompetent or LG doesn't want to develop O2X?
[LG Optimus 2x] tobyax:
both questions...

Motorola also uses the latest kernel in the Atrix
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Because there is more too it than just the kernel, there are some proprietary closed binaries. Also the Atrix uses 2.6.32 on it's GB release.
[LG Optimus 2x] Thief777:
I have absolutely got confused that is important and that is necessary.

Whence absolutely new kernel for Galaxy S ???

Nvidia has closed source drivers for hardware acceleration and a few other OS level stuff. :-/ without those its going to be tough to hack together a [real] ICS kernal. Cmod literally wrote those from the ground up for teg2 devices

So...any news on custom rom based on ICS yet? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
you can try ics kingzero666 have modified the g2x ics rom so it can be flash on 2x but you can't call or be called, because there is no network
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
Good to hear...from G2X to O2X....but if u cant be called or cant call...that will be a showpiece.....maybe used as a mirror ...lol

waiting for a real ICS on O2X....rest is fun

Okay so hi guys, I wanted to flash the new baseband yesterday. I know how to do it, and I've done it before. The weird thing is, when I plugged in my phone to my PC, it says that the device is not recognised. So I tried it on my Mac ( bootcamped). still doesn't work. So i found some drivers from this forum and tried to install. The Bluetooth modem installed, but not the united drivers. Anyone have any ideas?

Anyhelp will be much appreciated.

:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] teddybig:
Oh yea, I'm on mik's 6.6.1 with fk kernel 2 Oct. Now I'm on Andy's rom though. ( lol) might try again later to see if it works...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob77:
Hi

I'm having a few problems with my emails and wonder if anyone could help me out. I have a galaxy s2 and using the gmail app. Basically my push emails are coming to my phone like 20-30 mins late. This only happens when my phone has been sitting there doing nothing for a while. If I have the screen on whilst one is sent they come instant or if the phone is asleep and I wake it up one will come through that has been queuing for a while. It makes me think its something to do with the data side of things where my phones 3g signal is going to sleep when the screen is off.

I had my friends windows 7 phone for a few days last week and had my gmail set up on that. Emails came through almost instantly or at most 30 seconds after they arrived on my desktop no matter how long it had just been sat there. Does anyone experience anything similar on their android handsets or is it just a samsung galaxy s2 thing?

Cheers

Hey guys,

Considering theres no Q&A I figured i'd ask you guys here. I just Switched from Srpint to Verizon yesterday and carried over my Phone number. Now for the longest time whenever A/C, XDA, Droid-Life, and so on posts an article, and when they Tweet about it, I always get a Text message Notification. Now Im not getting any text from these feeds at all. Ive checked all my Twitter settings and so o and cant seem to figurte this out. Now with sprint its seemed al of a sudden I had a Google Voice account which I never even knew I had, and im not sure if thats interfering with anything. Anyone know how I can fix this so I can get my Text Notifications from Twitter? I'd really appreciate it.

**Also im not sure if this is due to me not Canceling my Sprint account yet. I dont think thats the issue but i'd figure i'd add that in**

THanks guys

[Atrix 4G General] icon_x:
I just bought one from craigslist 2 hours ago. here is how got past the motoblur account (I have my own motoblur acct but it kept asking me for the previous user's PW, and i could not get it to simply log in with my motoblur info.) :mad:

Without a factory reset, it will still be bound to the prior owner's motoblur acct. So far, i found that a factory reset is the easier way to go since i dont care about any personal stuff the person before me had on this phone.

Shut off phone, pull the SIM and micro SD card, put battery back in, Power on the phone. When it finishes booting it should no longer prompt you for a motoblur account, this is when you goto settings >> privacy >> factory reset. {{It will tell you the email address of the previous user's moto acct, this is why it would not let my logon work}}

After the reset, the phone will reboot itself. Once it is done booting, shut it down again, put your SIM / SD card(s) back in and boot it up, and you can now create a new basic motoblur acct or use your existing one. :D

This phone was stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread (4.5.91)

Untested on stock 2.2.

The other replies will also work if you just wish to bypass it, but I believe you will need to use these key sequences to bypass it *each time you reboot the phone*.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDMpire:
I have some android devices (LG Thrill & Nook color specifically) that have issues connecting to some wifi routers. Both devices have been rooted and run 3rd party firmware, however the problem existed when on stock rom as well.

I believe the router runs "WPA/WPA 2 Personal". I'm pretty sure the router is not at fault as I can connect to it just fine with other devices (Macbook Pro, netbook running Ubuntu, iPhone 4 & 4s, Moto Atrix, PSP slim...ect). That is just a handful of devices that connect just fine.

The 2 devices here in question will see the router just fine and attempt to connect. The continue to try and connect and eventually fail. The order of connection goes: SCANNING -> AUTHENTICATING -> OBTAINING IP ADDRESS -> ...

It never connects at this point, it just goes back the beginning. I tried to restart the router to no avail. This is on a handful of routers that use security of some sort. Likewise the devices CAN CONNECT to certain other routers, both using security and open.

Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDMpire:
Oh and BTW: I checked all the setting in the router and played around with it for a while. No dice!

MAC addressing is disabled. I tried both G&N, individually and combined. I tried every security type as well as no security (not an option even if it worked). I'm getting pretty frustrated.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laureanop:
Simplest way:

Odin PWGB 2. 0. 1b

Restart phone and let it fully boot

Odin cwm 2. 5. X by jt 1134

Download tsm resurrection 1. 0 and 1. 2 patch and put them on the root of the SD

Reboot recovery, do the three wipes and install tsm res 1. 0. Let it fully load

Reboot recovery again and flash 1. 2 patch. Let it fully load

Flash the kernel of your choice if you want

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vlad_z:
go to etc directory and look at file "hosts" - if it's around 600K then this is your culprit.

this file is used to block ads, which will significantly increase your browser speed with side effect "back " button sometimes does not work.

you can rename that file to say hosts.Bak and after reboot you will have your back button along with all internet ads...

[Droid Incredible Android Development] russosv:
Hi All,

I wanted to learn how to build an AOSP ROM for my Droid Incredible (original version), and I was finally able to get a working build today (i've been at it for more than a month on and off when I have time).

I downloaded gingerbread-release and used the CM overlay to get the vendor-specific stuff. The proprietary files were pulled from my working OMGB phone (which I understand borrows a lot from cyanogen; well-- the kernel at least).

My problem is that (1) I can't get any audio to play, (2) any time I try to play a video (like Youtube) I get a force close, and (3) the camera wont work.

I'm pretty sure (3) is a totally different problem, as I've seen lots of ROMs where the camera won't work.

Does anyone have any point that I could start on this? I've posted my logcat here: pastebin.com/GPqpD8N3

(sorry-- I'm not allowed to post links yet.)

I googled it but I'm having trouble finding anything pertinent.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you anyone can provide!!

:)

EDIT: By the way, since this post I have changed my setup. All of my proprietary modules are from the CM nightly build now, instead of having modules from OMGB and and overlay from CM. I did this to make it more consistent in case I run in to any more problems.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] russosv:
Sorry -- additional detail that I meant to add in the post (but it won't let me re-edit for 5 minutes):

The bottom of the log shows me trying to play a song in the music player. From what I can tell, /system/bin/mediaserver is crashing and performing a stack dump; however I don't know why or how I can fix it.

It will not play any ringtones either, but the DTMF tones *do* sound when you press on the digits, and the phone/speakerphone work fine as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] russosv:
I just figured it out myself... in the logcat there is the line:

frameworks/base/media/libstagefright/omx/OMXMaster.cpp:90 err != OMX_ErrorNoMore

if you go to that file, in line 90:

CHECK_EQ(err, OMX_ErrorNoMore);

I just commented it out and sound works fine.

Now if I can get the camera working... any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kiboe:
Hmm I know the bugglas beast nightly's had the camera issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] russosv:
Thanks, @Kiboe for the reply. I found the fix last night (right after I posted :)) on xda-developers through Google Groups.

I implemented @dferreira's suggestion, and it compiled just fine. Now I have a working camera, but video still isn't working. (Also accelerometer isn't working, but I believe I have already found the answer for that).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Have you tried using the native portable hotspot function? It's built right into the GS2, and I've used it just fine.

Third-party apps are adhoc, native tethering is a proper access point. I use it all the time with my Tab 10.1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyh77:
Not sure what your looking at. I share my WPA PSK 2 hotspot all the time with all my devices. As above mentioned. Its the native feature.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Please clarify what you are trying to do... Cause it is not really clear to me.

Are you saying you are trying to get a DIFFERENT android phone to connect to your phone when it is functioning as a hotspot? Why would you need do that???

What about laptops? Or other wi-fi capable devices, like a tablet? As I said, when I start a hotspot on MY GS2 the same way I described above, I was able to connect my laptop to it and access the internet just fine, even connecting to my work's VPN.

So the question is, what are you doing, and what is going wrong that ISN'T what you are expecting?

No software info - closest is device info and that doesn't have it.

[Nook Color General] goldenu:
I can't really answer that, as I've never used a Kindle Fire. I did consider both before purchasing, but the Fire lost my interest when I found out it had no microSD slot. Additionally, I *really* love my rooted NC, and the NT just adds more speedy goodness to a platform I already love.
[Nook Color General] goldenu:
To all that asked about SD card booting - I tried the CWM sd from my NC and the tablet completely ignored it. As it has been pointed out that CWM is built for each device, this result is unsurprising.

NOTE: despite having 16gb of on-board storage, stock ROM only allows you access to 1gb. While this will, without question, change once rooted and ROM'd, it is somewhat disappointing.

[Nook Color General] boomn:
The screens are basically the same but the NT's has glass that is "laminated and bonded" to the LCD which the visible gap that many devices have. There must have been other tweaks too because I've read in a couple reviews about color and glare being better than the NC. I haven't seen it in person yet though

I visited bj yesterday and played with the tablet. I brought my toted NC with me. The new tablet fits right into my NC case, so they are the same form factor.

The browser was snappy, the unit is lighter (weight) but over all, I am mottling to upgrade from the NC to the tablet. It really brings nothing outstandingly new to the game. Sort of a prettier sybling at the family reunion. It not worth dumping your wife over.

If you don't havethe NC already then it might be worth picking up, but its not worth the exchange up.
