By the way, after I'd flashed my millionth or so ROM I decided to check my emmc chip. I have the "bad" one, but guess what? No problems.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
Ok, since your on Gingerbread, youll need to downgrade to froyo.

Use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

Then you'll need to root it once your on 2.2.1

Use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996

I know its a lot but make sure you read all of it before you actually do it.

Oh, and GFree is a package that uses exploits to gain root. It also sim unlocks. I believe there is a youtube video on how to use GFree, it looks sketchy but follow it lol.

Here is the link for that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4B4y0CQUDo

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnystuff:
Hi all, probably mine is a noob question, since in android I'm quite a noob. I've been using gentoo for years though so I'm somehow confident with the shell and I'd love it to work on it on my rooted sgs2

So, basically, I searched but I didn't find (/me fool). When asking for write permission everyone is talking about /system, but not / in general. Is there a reason? If I need to copy&paste or just create a file directly in / how can I do?

Giving a #mount command shows me only this about "/" :

rootfs on / type rootfs (ro,relatime)

so there is no indication about a /dev/block adress or a "real fs" information (which for what I know is ext4). Also those informations looks like a "pseudo-filesystem" partition, like sysfs or fusefs for instance.

Looking at the rest of the "#mount" output (aka "cat /proc/mounts") I see the only other partition mounted in ro is /system, but it has a block device association and I can remount it in rw easily. Not the same with /

Can anyone clarify me please? Is there a way to mount / in rw?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
This is because that's where we want to use. The system area is where modifications of the device (done by people who should know exactly what they are doing; e.g changing build.prop codes) is made. It can easily be made r/w but only if your device is rooted and in many cases S-OFF'ed. If you have root (and for some devices S-OFF), then you can just use a file explorer (which supports root functions e.g Root Explorer) to mount it as r/w (this is the easiest way).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnystuff:
Yes, my phone is rooted and S-OFF'd and everything's fine, I have no particular problem to fix, just wondering.

So what if anything goes corrupted in / (outside /system, /data or any other separate partition) and we need to restore it or just create a script or anything changing permissions or writing data on the / partition? Btw: for what I know about linux, the root partition (I mean "/" not "/root") must be a "real partition" with a proper fs and mount point, and not anything cached somewhere. Guess it must be the same in android too. So, where is it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
For Android (about corruption for the first question), people usually just reflash the rom since you wouldn't be able to boot the phone (at least fully) to be able to replace a missing file(s). Where is "/" you ask, if you open Root Explorer that's where you'll be.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnystuff:
I know where is "/" in that sense, I meant where is the partition or the mount point ;)

anyway..... not a big issue. I must deduce in android, in any present past and future device, the /efs directory is mounted on a separate partition. All my guessing came mostly from that point, since I wanted to backup and most of all _restore_ that dir using the shell. Again, I don't need it now, I did my backup and I hopefully will never need a restore. Most of all in my sgs2 /efs is on a rw partition, so no issue at all even in case of deep trouble (/efs deletion).

And yep, I know about EFS Pro and similar tools, but wanted to try the sh way and to understand something more of android in general
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devius:
why is the trouble EFS deletion? what is EFS partition for?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iJimaniac:
Speaking on this subject, I have tried but cannot remove the file "/sys/devices/virtual/sec/ts/touchkey_led" (trying to turn off lights behind capacitive buttons).

Does anyone know how to move/delete this?

No, led hack doesn't work on my device if you are wondering.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnystuff:
/efs is where your IMEI and other critical (and legal) information of your device are stored. You should backup it as soon as you root your phone, before any other mod. Hence comes the troubles, since if you delete it for any reason, you are in deep troubles, expecially if you didn't backup it.

I'm not totally sure about what I'm saying on android, but on linux /sys is an in-memory filesystem, meaning it is generated by the system after (at) boot and it's where all your device are linked in for the kernel, so it basically manged by the kernel itself. That could be the reason why you cannot delete anything in there. But again, I'm somehow guessing so, wait for someone else to confirm (or deny)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Actually you can delete items in there... but they will just be re-created :p.

So I am on UnNamed Rom and really like it. I get amazing battery life on it. I want to switch over to GalnetMIUI 1.11.9. Because i get board easily....Do I install it the same way I did UnNamed? I need to do a wipe first, right? Does anyone have a step by step on how to flash this when running a different rom? Thanks! Went to developers GalnetMIUI 1.11.9 and it only had the steps to download the rom...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wk4alvn:
I installed it by doing the vol up/down and power button boot then wipe everything and flash from zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Yeah, just do a wipe data factory reset. Miui is like CM7, sometimes the install doesn't stick. When you flash it if it takes less than a minute or so, flash it again without rebooting.

Some people say to go into mounts and format system manually, but I never do and have no problem going from miui to stock based ROMs with just a wipe data factory reset.

FAQ

How does Ubuntu look on our tablet?

Ubuntu 9.04

Ubuntu 10.10

What is Ubuntu? and why would I want it on my tablet

Ubuntu is a linux based operating system normally for the computer, however with this port we can run it on our tablet, this allows you to pretty much install any software available for linux and run it on your tablet.

What are the best settings for Android VNC Viewer?

I find full 24-bit colour works very well and there is no need to down step this, also Input Mode is best set to touchpad as the GUI is not very touch screen friendly when its this small! using touchpad makes the touch screen act just like the touch pad on a laptop and I find this very easy to use.

Updates

[12/12/11]

New 10.10 image update

New built in script in Ubuntu to start vncserver and other services on boot

SD card is accessible from within Ubuntu

Image changed to 3.5GB to fit if you have a 4GB SD Card

The ubuntu boot scripts are now on easy to use script!

More working programs (including software centre etc)

Default desktop changed back to LXDE

More apps for 'developing'

Firefox, Thunderbird, openoffice.org suite, GIMP Image Editor, Emacs Text Editor (geared towards programming), C and C++ build-essential, Java JDK, Python, TeXlive and TeXmaker LaTeX editor, Transmission BitTorrent Client, eVince PDF Viewer, File Manager, Terminal, Image Viewer, Leafpad Text Editor, Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center with all repositories enabled (Ubuntu Software Center is pretty and well organized - but bloated and slow), SSH server, Gnash (GNU flash player/plugin for Firefox - as there is no official generla flash pluging for armel CPUs)

[23/11/11]

New 10.10 image

vncserver and bug fixes included in 10.10 image

New light weight UI in 10.10 image

4GB image size for plenty of app space

More programs should be working in the 10.10 image please test!!

New image all icons in GUI don't load Fixed in 10.10 image

New Firefox crashes on start up now fixed in 10.10 image

+More that I cant remember

[05/11/11]

Old 9.04 image readded for those that want working GUI until new image is fixed

[24/10/11]

Java install guide added

[23/10/11]

New 11.10 ubuntu 4GB image

Changed guide for new image

+MUCH more (will add later)

Bugs

At the moment to use the new 10.10 V2 image you have to carry out steps 7 to 8.5 each time in order to get into the GUI, which means the only way to use terminal for ubuntu is within the GUI, this isnt to bad as the build is now very stable

At the moment once you start ubuntu it seems to prevent the sdcard being mounted and as there is no way to shut down the ubuntu session you must reboot if you wish to mount the sdcard via usb

Java might still not be working right please test!!
[Gen8 Android Development] devwithzachary:
Other Programs to Install

Ok so as I start working on testing more programs I will post here how well they work and what does and dosnt work. Most programs that run from terminal and don't require any hardware like wifi etc seem to work well!

JAVA SE FOR EMBEDDED

To install the Java version for arm open up the terminal and type the following lines of code

wget http://android.zpwebsites.com/java.tar.gz

This will download the java package from my server!

Once downloaded type

gunzip java.tar.gz

tar xvf java.tar

This will extract the java package into a folder called ejre1.6.0_27

then type

export JAVA_HOME=ejre1.6.0_27

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Java should then be completely installed, please test by typing

which java

TipsSome android terminal emulators (e.g. better terminal) allow you to specify an initial command that is run as soon as you launch the application. Multiple initial commands can be defined by pressing return between each command when you define it, so for example the initial command:

su <return>cd /sdcard/external_sd/ubuntu <return>sh ubuntu.sh <return>

This way to load the new 10.10 V2 image simply open the terminal emulator

Help Needed

I would love for people to test there fav linux programs, also anyone that knows alot about ubuntu/linux to help getting the image to run faster etc etc

Then you didn't read the instructions, as that is the directory you are creating when extracting the files from the rar.

You are supposed to copy the whole directory to the archoos, not the files in there.

MKV files (at least the 720p ones anyway) werent supported with hardware rendering previously in mxplayer on my touchpad/android alpha 3, will be interesting if this is what the newer version fixes.

Edit: Still doesnt support hardware rendering for 720p MKV but seems to run quite ok in software mode. Hardware rendering would be a bit smoother though no doubt, particulary for upscaling lower video res.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanej2006:
Are there any decent weather apps out there that work properly with the note's huge 720p screen?

Reason I ask this is because after recently using my personal favourite weather app (beautiful weather) it only takes up a part of the screen and looks ugly.

It has not been updated to stretch and make use of the note's screen.

The note comes preinstalled with accuweather but I do not like it's interface & when looking at the temperatures of other countries it's all over the place.

Any good recommended weather apps made specially for the note or at least take up the whole width of the screen?

BazookaAce recommended beautiful widgets which is great and I've tried.

Problem with beautiful widgets is that it's made for devices which are 800x400, which is what you have.

As the Galaxy note is 1280x800 it does not stretch in full screen and looks horrible.
