Keep it up goose

We are all eagerly awaiting beta
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Nothing significant to report as far as this eris build goes but I've been busy with various holiday things, family/friends, getting new health insurance, and getting caught back up with ics/evervolv.

Some good news is that the inc, evo4g, n1, & desire now have semi-functional cams on ICS. The camera HAL has been modified to work and if japmv78 releases his source or explains what he did, I would think we could get it to work for us too.

We(evervolv) have started adding some features in like 6-bar signal strength, custom lockscreen apps/styles, the beginnings of our notification toolbox, etc. I'm going to try and get vol button music controls working tonight and will get a new build out for you all this weekend sometime...I might even post it as a beta haha.

If you want to ask questions or hang out, make your way to #evervolv on IRC(see my signature for details). The devices that we are working on Evervolv ICS for right now are: eris, dinc, dinc2, tbolt, gnex(soon), evo 4g, evo shift 4g, evo 3d, optimus s/v, nexus one, desire, touchpad
[Droid Eris Android Development] tburns:
I have a spare Eris to help with any testing, and my tbolt. Going to get my outer redone with Linux to try some stuff again. Not much going on in the tbolt forums and I want to get into it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] a.mcdear:
No Rezound?!?? BOOO!!!!

Well my Eris has officially become my test subject device, so I'm going to be loading this up tonight to do some playing around with ICS.

Seriously though, you should get a Rezound build going too.... nicer device overall than the G-Nex, yet too little good development going on so far. :-(
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragonrazorz:
+1 for rezound
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
BLASPHEMY!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
I meant no disrespect, I hope I didn't come off that way. I have been watching quite a few phones progress, I just mean issues like the drivers needed for the camera and such. The Eris is a hard phone to kill, I appreciate the fact Android has the ability to keep a phone with modest specs to continue to be more than relevant.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Our Evervolv repos are currently not in a state where builds will compile for most of our devices after merging in a few commits for hw accel on the evo3d(shooter). So it will be a couple more days before I'm able to get a new build out for you guys. Soon though.

workshed's recently released tbolt cm7 rom is getting good reviews if you hadn't heard and are looking for something to flash while the ril isn't working for ICS. Good to hear you are getting back to trying things out.

Having the locked bootloader for awhile really hurt it and while nice, I'd still choose the gnex personally due to the large community and getting updates first. That being said, when an aosp kernel gets made for it, someone who has it can get a device tree going for Evervolv.

+1
[Droid Eris Android Development] tburns:
Yea I'm running sheds cm7 on my bolt. I do like your layout with evervolv on the Eris, had zero issues or problems ;). Very sweet rom.

Sent from my ThunderShed CM7 or Worksheds GSB!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
Any timeframe for the gnex?

I'll drop gummy instantly lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] DowneyJM:
No man not at all, and i apologize if i came off like i thought you were coming off that way.......or something like that!!

Nothin but love homie!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
Lol, its all good, sometimes its hard to see how the post was meant to be read, and things get crazy. No issues whatsoever.

Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me find my Eris. This makes me so sad, I wanted to show my I-phone friends just how awesome the world of Android was. Lol, that and to prove the "fragmentation" is really just the companies pushing for more sales.

If by chance my Eris comes back, you better believe this is going on it.

Keep up the awesome work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Was working on it tonight but got sidetracked by other things. Next couple days maybe?

Also will see if I can get a builds for the Eris with all these new commits that may prove to be difficult to work around.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Goose, can't wait to see evervolv on the gnex and eris. glad ur working on it. Any plans to keep working on miui camera? Gnex needs some love...
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I'm compiling a test build right now without errors hopefully. Seeing if I can get usb mass storage and the camera working. There will also be some new features in the next release which I'll explain when it's good to go.
[Droid Eris Android Development] antEris:
Sweet. Thanks for sticking with the eris Goose! Can't wait to try this out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] iggypop123:
Patiently waiting for it!. Check every day.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Great news! This made my night! Can't wait.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I'm able to build successfully now but there's always more stuff that needs fixing. Like not having mdpi drawables at first for some of the features we have added causing systemui to force close. Working on those things now. Doubtful that camera is going to be working soon but jaybob(heroc) and I are both giving it a go. In case anyone is interested, you can read some of our initial camera efforts here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21390867#post21390867
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I'm going to try and get beta 1 out tonight. A couple things left to fix/clean up and then I'll get it out to you all. No camera in this build unless something magical happens in the next couple hours. And the stock browser still has it's issues so if I don't just include Opera Mini, install it from the market if you want a working browser. USB mass storage will be working though and you'll have some new Evervolv features to play around with.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
Glad to hear things are going well. Can't wait to try ics. Hopefully you get it into beta soon. I am up for a new phone next month.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:

[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
<-----Sportin' some wood! GREAT progress!

Couple notes...(not complaining...just inputting...)...

Launcher settings 'drawer', 'dock' and 'icons' don't do anything.

Also, the music app causes a reboot back to the boot animation after about 3 songs...

Other than that, get BT working and I will daily this ROM. Great work and THANKS!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] mad5870:
so i have been following this thread. and for some reason i kinda remember someone have problems downloading apps, well i thought it was here but i can't find it. I am on the new update (beta 1) and it is awesome. i just can't download apps an error 101 comes up.

another thing the keyboard is lagy does anyone have any tips to help with that?

This is a great ROM

EDIT: for anyone that has this problem just log out of your Google account and then log back in.
[Droid Eris Android Development] champdr0id:
damn I wish I didn't lend my eris to one of my friends. Oh well. When I get it back, I'm sure it'll be a lot better. This is awesome!

Sent from my Rezound running BGS 1.4
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I didn't have any trouble with the music app. I'm pretty sure I played more than 3 songs, but I'll keep an eye out for that same thing.

Did you try turning off vibrate and popup on keypress?

Also, when I hold down end and try to switch to silent, I have to do it twice because the first time it just goes to vibrate.
[HTC Sensation] zayy862:
does any have the actual download files for revolutionary 0.4pre1. You cant download previous versions on the website, and from what it looks like there are a number of people that cant get thier latest version to run at all.

thx in advance
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
You must download the drivers for the phone the thread to get just the drivers is stickied in the sensation section.. trust me it works. Also install htc sync on pc.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
v4 works fine, you just need to run it 3 times as you'll get the 'communication has been lost' error. After 3 times running it it'll say you're already S-OFF and do you want to flash CWM
[HTC Sensation] zayy862:
I have all the drivers ,that's not the issue. I mean the program wont run like It's a software compatibility issue. I already ran it as a administrator and etc.then after googlingfor hours I saw 0.3pre version and it ran but its not supported for the ota update of gingerbread which is why I'm hoping someone has a previous build of the program.

Unistall HTC Sync. Worked for me
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
I'm at total idiot for doing this btw, but i'd love some help as to how to get out of this hole!

Due to the file size limitations of FAT32, and me needing to qucikly move some large ISO files, i decided to put them on my flyer. I thought i was formatting the external sd card to ex fat, but only realised when i got home that i actually formatted the internal memory!!! argh!

I comes up as 'your internal memory may be broken, please reformat it' but when i press the option to format nothing happens.

From recovery, i cant mount it, so again cant format it.

I'm guessing this is due to linux/android not being able to recognise these partitions

Any help would be much appreciated! I'm on a 16GB wifi flyer btw.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jscott30:
It sounds like you still have hboot and recovery, so you must have formatted the internal storage; have you tried running an RUU for your model? The proper RUU should format your device and restore the stock OS. Is that the US Best Buy 16GB WiFi only Flyer?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
Yeah i've got full Hboot and recovery access, and the device works fine, save for the internal storage problem.

I did the format on my PC when i mounted the internal storage for access.

Its a european wifi flyer, and i got the RUU (RUU RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_2.27.1114.31_Radio_20.3504. 30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204727_signed)

Does running the RUU format the internal storage aswell then?

I'm guessing as i've S-OFFed using revolutionary, i'll need to follow this guide?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346200
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jscott30:
Yes, you are are on the right track. If you want to keep the Revolutionary hboot, you could just run the RUU from Windows. It will write the stock system OS, and you'll keep s-off and Revolutionary. You'll just have to push the su files again to get root. You'll also have to flash the cwm recovery again with either the Revolutionary tool or manually.

If you want totally stock with s-on, then follow the instructions in the link you provided.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
or.... you could just install busybox and format the partition from the command line using adb ;) or do the same from recovery....you don't need to mount it to format it. If you wait an hour or so until I have my flyer in hand I'll give you the command you want.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
Oh that would be fantastic!

Yeah I'm not back at home yet (will be in a few hours), so fixing it without running the ruu again would be the best solution imo!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jscott30:
Oh, it just dawned on me that the OS is all there and working for the OP, and it is just the internal storage that needs to be formatted. Sorry, didn't read close enough. In CWM recovery, under "Mounts and Storage", choose "format /internal_sdcard". That should be all that is needed. Learning here myself, so I'm curious to see the adb way also.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
Yeah I tried that as soon as I realised the problem, but when I went to format the internal memory, it can't complete.

The returned commands seem to imply that it needs to mount it first, before it can be formatted. And it can't be mounted because android can't recognise exFat
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
If you have busybox installed and are booted it should be this:

mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p33
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
I must confess, I've never used busybox before.

When I get back to my flyer, is it a simple case of installing busybox,

then using adb, run adb shell and then the above code line?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
yes, as root.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
Well i'm having some trouble installing Busybox.

I've downloaded it fro mthe market, and i run through the green install window, check the default path which is system/xbin, and then it says it cannot install as there is not enough space on the SD card or the SD card is mounted!

I'm guessing this is becaue it is looking for the internal memory, and it cannot find it

Any suggestions?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
push the apk to /system/app with adb.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
Right, i ran this code and this is what i got returned

C:\android-tools>adb push stericson.busybox.apk /system/app

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

failed to copy 'stericson.busybox.apk' to '/system/app/stericson.busybox.apk': Read-only file system

seems like it is the same error i got when i tried to install it after downloading and installing the apk fro mthe market

The market download seemed to be a 2 stage process - i could download and install it fine, but once i ran the app from the drawer, it prompted a secondary install, which is where the previosu errors were generated...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
ok, download the attached zip file and extract it:

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp

adb shell
$ su
# chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
# /data/local/tmp/busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p33
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
That did it! Thanks so much!

I've just mounted it on my PC again, and the total size is showing an 8.68 GB drvie... i honestly cant remember how big the partiton was last time, but i'm using a 16GB flyer, so i would have thought it would be closer?

Either way, at least its usable again now!

Thanks again
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jscott30:
Glad you were able to work this out. 8.68 GB is correct for that partition.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
yep, as jscott said that would be right for a 16GB flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
Fantastic, thanks so much for helping!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mnurolcay:
I have this problem with my One X, found this topic in search.

But, when trying to mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p33 , im getting this error:

mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p33

mkfs.vfat: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p33': No such file or directory

Pls help?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hereisphilly:
I think in your case the partitions are mounted differently to what the flyer had. So internal storage is not assigned to block mmcblk0p33 but to a different block

Have you tried running the correct RUU for your device?
[Xoom General] slonn:
I have had this Xoom tablet since Monday and every evening after work I've been busy toying with it to see what it can do. Wasn't sure initially that I was going to get it since a new version is about to hit the markets, but I got a good deal at Dixons in Dublin airport (€289) for the WiFi version.

Anyway, in most of the things it's a great toy but it has a few, but really annoying, shortcomings:

- Not able to charge via USB cable

- Not able to mount like a normal Android device to my computers

- Playing movies is a a horrible experience, if at all possible.

For the second item, I have downloaded and installed the Motorola drivers for my Windows PC and after that it mounts just fine. Same goes for my Mac. For Linux I had to fire up the Terminal and do some fiddling following various guides on how to set up USB mounting and Samba sharing. So it's not impossible, just annoying that manual setup needs to be done on various platforms...or perhaps I'm just lazy.

I have quite a few .mkv movie files and I have searched this forum for players that will accept the files. None of the players I've downloaded are able to play mkv even with Codecs installed. All of the players mentioned in this thread do not work with a mkv file the size of 1.5GB. There appears to be software that can convert the files to be more Xoom friendly, but it costs about $30. Of course, seeing my mate being able to play all movie files on his HP TouchPad with WebOS without problems doesn't exactly help to lift my spirits.

I did have some issues with Google Music not wanting to remember my online collection but since downloading the latest app yesterday this now appears to be fixed.

My Xoom runs Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.2 - Moray and I flashed the Odachi kernel.

Other than my ranting above the Xoom is great for browsing the web, skype, listening to music and reading books (becoming addicted to buying books in Kindle) :)
[Xoom General] ZeroSX:
For the MKV files - handbrake won't convert em for you? Cause that's free - and what I use to convert raw material for my xoom.

edit: and I personally have never seen a tablet that charges via USB. Samsung's galaxy tabs charge via their dock, my old nook color required the charger to charge, even though it was a modified USB cable, and the xoom is well.. we know already.
[Xoom General] slonn:
Haven't used Handbrake in a while so I'll have a try to see if it works. Any special settings you set up in Handbrake for it to work with the Xoom?

This is my first tablet so I don't actually have much to compare with regarding the USB charging. I just mentioned the lack of USB charging to two colleagues who have HP tablets and they were surprised that it needs an actual wall charger.
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
As its been said many times before USB charging would take forever on a tablet. I can charge my xoom to 100% way faster then my girlfriends Galaxy 10 which uses the 5v USB.

And the way the file managing is done is better and worse in a way. Phones and pcs handle it better and i haven't had a issue with corrupting my sd card like i did with my Droid 2 and the old mounting. But linux is a pain to get MTP to work with. On my Win 7 pcs it saw it right away and worked with out needing anything DLed.

And handbrake does all my video converting great. It may not be super 1080P HD but i really dont need super HD on a tablet. Ill try to pull my preset file for you to try.
[Xoom General] omac_ranger:
I use MX Player off of the market for MKV files and it plays them flawlessly when changing to software decoding and such for certain files. You should look into that.
[Xoom General] nephroid:
I second MX Player off of the market (http://goo.gl/WvXLa).

I also found pre-alpha VLC player that I've used without any issues.

http://dl.cvpcs.org/android/test/common/VLC-neon.apk

http://dl.cvpcs.org/android/test/common/VLC-noneon.apk

I used to convert my video with Handspring but I no longer have to with these two awesome video players.
[Xoom General] slonn:
Tried that but it didn't work even when changing to software decoding.
[Xoom General] slonn:
Cool thanks! Was looking for VLC earlier. Will give these a try.

Edit: first one (VLC-nonneon) works albeit the picture is not very steady. Loads of small breaks when playing a film. Second one force closes.
[Xoom General] nephroid:
Just out of curiosity, how large are these files you're testing with? .mkv's, .avi's?

The VLC app works for me if I don't try to jump all around the videos too often. It's pre-alpha so there should be some quirks.
[Xoom General] slonn:
The files were about 1.5 GB. I've tried with smaller files and that seems to work. I just assumed that any file under 4 GB would play without problems. In any case I've fired up Handbrake to compress the movie files. Great with free software :)
[Xoom General] csstamatin:
My way of doing things.

so far i havent had any problems playing videos, partially because things have been too hectic for the 4g xooms so i keep changing stuff, and partially because most of the movies i own in digital form all play without hesitation, like from the google movies.

as far as mounting goes, windows does fine once u have the drivers, but i hate paying for software, so fudge windows. linux on the other hand is easy, all i do is boot into cwm and mount usb drive. works like a snap, prob work in windows too, just havent tried. that lets u access your externalsd, but theres prob a way to mount ur internal, just havent tried that yet either.

and the charging i read somewhere actually works through usb, its just so slow, and so low that one, it doesnt register, and two it would only really be fesible in an emergency. but i actually like the fact we get a full powered charger that just juices it up quick and painlessly. true the only way to charge it on the go is get a seperate charger, or a converter, but i can live with the battery power.

hope u figure your stuff out, i love this thing. does all i want and more, witht the added benefit of having a metal case, which is more important than u think!! wait till your mates drop their pads, i put mine through some rough wear, and that metal case has saved it several times. the biggest thing that breaks on these that ive seen is the glass on the screen, which is a pretty easy fix, plus it wont make it unusable if u do, just gotta live with it. have fun!!!
[Xoom General] omac_ranger:
I use MX Player to play video files that were nearly 1.1GBs, never had a problem. Is the Video the problem or the audio when you were using it?
[Xoom General] slonn:
It's the video that lags.
[Xoom General] slonn:
no lag now after the films were compressed with handbrake. Happy days :-)
[Xoom General] bradgog:
I play 10GB MKVs with MX Video player, I have no idea why you would be having issues with your files. I love my Xoom and MX plays everything
[Xoom General] slonn:
charged it to 100 % last night and it was at 99% thus morning. Just one per cent down in 10 hours with screen off. That's very impressive!
[Xoom General] King350z:
What format did you convert too? MP4?
[Xoom General] pjcons:
Yep in my experience this is pretty normal! ;-)
