Any knowledge shared is worthwhile! While 50mb or so is a hit, its relatively inconsequential on 16gb of storage when the advantages are looked at. Faster testing for me and less uploads to manage! But more importantly, I've arranged my rom so that the full version add-ins can be quickly removed via 7zip by a picky user.

The fact of the matter is that I have less than 80 lite downloads as compared to more than 800 full version downloads just on last weeks edition. It seems nearly 90% of downloaders aren't concerned with SD storage usage. Its the phone storage they ought to keep their eyes on ;-).

Id certainly be interested in your kitchen of sorts.

ERA would be down for sure. know we kind of gave up on making two versions because it takes a lot of testing and what not. I'll see if I can get a hold of Hoff or ksmullins. And we can work together.

No need... I'm a lurker. >.>
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Seems like a great idea... I'll keep checking back on for progress updates. And if anyone needs a hand with anything, just shoot me a PM. I'm more than happy to help out.

I'm a web dev too.. Prefer front end, so if there's some things you need mashed out, gaive me a shout about tht as well. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Right now it's a simple flash-able. Flash it once, it writes the config file for Lite version mode. Flash it again, and it writes the config file for Full version mode. And you can do it over and over again until you flash a rom, which then identifies the coding in the config file and acts accordingly.

So, one could feasibly break that rom .zip down into further "variations," although I personally will not be taking this route at the moment. earthbound[iap] is looking into creating a Windows or Android app that would enable you to choose any number of options and write them to that same config file. Then your rom of choice could read all of those options.

But for now, it's just Lite or Full. Speak up if you have any contributions, it would be nice to have this in common amongst multiple roms!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Maybe just change the name of the .zip? And check if its the lite or full, even though you'll still have the same .zip, it changes depending on filename

[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
That could probably work, but would require a person to change the file name manually, on every rom and update they download. Or the dev can do it beforehand, upload identical, differently named roms. But then you still have to upload 2 versions.

My proposal is essentially an on/off switch accessible from CWM. And for a person who only installs lite versions, or only installs full versions, they would only have to do it once. Ever. No matter how many compatible roms they download.

And Earthbound proposes a whole range of customizations.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
A standard for Development on the Epic... Indeed a good idea.

This is also how bigger projects (CyanogenMod\MIUI) start. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Alright, here is where I need help. The switcher feature works perfectly and it's beauty is in its simplicity. However, it's simplicity is the number one problem I can identify.

The switcher and the rom check the config file for a yes or a no. While that works, it fails if the file doesn't exist. Sure, a user can download the file and place it once manually, but that just doesn't sit well with me.

What I would like now, is for the rom and switcher to first look for the file, and if they can't find it, then they should create it with Full install as the default setting. After which, the switcher can once again perform it's duty.

Anyone know a good way to do this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
The only way i can think is maybe include the options.cfg and a script that does the checks for you. If the file doesn't exist, move it from /tmp/ to /sdcard/... Then onto your original script, which SHOULD find the now present options.cfg on the SD. Let me know if i mucked this up. =P

This has not been tested...

run_program("/sbin/mount","/sdcard");

package_extract_file("scripts/options.cfg", "/tmp/options.cfg");
package_extract_file("scripts/config_check", "/tmp/config_check");

run_program("/tmp/config_check");

config_check

#!/xbin/sh
#
cfg="options.cfg"

if [ ! -f /sdcard/$cfg ]
then
mv -f /tmp/$cfg /sdcard/$cfg
fi

Then on with your script...

[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Also... Quick question for Sensei... Did your wipe or not wipe look something like this?

ui_print("Attempting to mount the Filesystem as EXT4...");
ifelse(
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "system", "/system") == "system",
(
ui_print("Filesystem mounted as EXT4...");
ui_print("Mounting the rest...");

)
);

There's obviously some room for error here, but I was going for the basic idea...
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
mine is much simpler but essentially, yes.

unmount("/data");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mount", "-t", "noext4", "/dev/block/stl10", "/data");
ifelse(is_mounted("/data"),(
ui_print("Backing up data, formatting.")
run_program("/tmp/tar-backup","backup");
unmount("/data");
run_program("/tmp/fsck.ext4", "-fy", "/dev/block/stl10");
run_program("/tmp/mkfs.ext4", "-O", "^ext_attr,^has_journal,^huge_file", "-L", "DATA", "-b", "4096", "-m", "0", "-F", "/dev/block/stl10");
),ui_print("Leaving data intact."));

basically unmount > mount anything BUT ext4 > check if mounted (if it did mount, it's rfs or whatever) then backup/format

that only selects how to NOT wipe/ preserve data... leaving the ext4 data intact like that has a weird effect on the first boot of showing the AOSP android logo animation contained in framework-res, but it shows the regular /system/media/bootanimation thereafter... i haven't noticed any ill side effects that weren't a result of my own error while replacing existing data files with new ones in the rom package. so i'd like to provide the option of WIPE BEFORE INSTALL for those who want clean install (right now i just provide a flashable that does the formatting for a clean slate (no 3x wipe/factory reset necessary)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Is_mounted. Interesting... Didn't know that syntax exsisted... I apparently have more homework to do, and maybe ill just stick the to the code I have (as its just a bit different) than the competition. :P

Anywho, thanks for the point in another direction... I'll definitely be implementing VERY soon...

Just a shoutout to those apk makers [Mike Reid] out there. Try Spirit FM Radio, an android market free download ($10 unlocker for best results). Packing it in my new rom. Nice.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] mikereidis:
Thanks insink71.

Saw your post long ago and didn't have anything to add at the time.

LOTS has changed and improved the last 4+ months, including support for stock, un-rooted devices.

I have one user now who has a problem with severe system slowdown when running my app in that mode (without SU). It may not happen when the earphone is not plugged in though.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else sees this problem. To get the same experience when rooted, deny SU to Spirit when it starts.

April 13 free version is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?g4d0at7b3nc3p1z

Thanks !
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
I can test this.

Will test...

Still perfect sound.

On new phone, HTC unlocked but not rooted; dead stock.

Must be not plugging proper earphones in.. I've heard if the chord is too short it doesn't pich up as the antenna it should be ::shrug::

Ya want me to test free version too? I got unlocked and it picks up more stations than my car radio.. no lie.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] mikereidis:
No further testing needed, thanks !

Versions prior to the UI update seem fine, and now he's set Theme to Dark and it looks like the problem may be gone. I'm still wondering how that might be a problem though.
[HTC Wildfire S] savoiu:
I just got a VM WFS primarily because it has FM radio. However, even after downloading the HTC widget I could not get it to work?

Do all VirginMobile WFS have FM radio? I'd purchase the lite version on Google Play but I'm not sure if it would work...

I tried the above link for the free version of this app but the file is no longer there.

Any ideas/thoughts?

Thanks,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sirgatory:
I just visited my local ghost armor kiosk and had them wrap my phone. I got the matte finish on this puppy. Say hello to the perfect fit, and goodbye to those darn glossy/slippery edges.

Now I'm not constantly whipping the back of my phone every half hour :) check it out below! $40 later:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
Sweet! you said a kiosk, I suppose inside a mall right? Are they held on with adhesive? $?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sirgatory:
Go to ghost-armor.com and click on locations. Put in your zip code and it'll pull up the closest ones to you.

This wrap cost me 40$, but they have carbon fiber wraps and such that cost 45$. It includes the screen. The dude told me that if i just wanted to do the back without the screen its only $20.

And its held on with adhesive. They use a special box to put it on. Its really cool. If you get it done, definitely watch them!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] falcon26:
I might have this done on mine this weekend. They have one at a local mall about 15 miles from me. Not sure if I want the matte or glossy. One thing I do hate is finger prints. But I also do not like the way matte makes the screen very very dull.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dsf767:
wow I didn't even know they had these. I am planning on getting the white skyrocket so I didn't want a case because I wanted to show off the white phone this will be perfect. there is one in a mall that's like 20 minutes away awesome info!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
looks very cool! How is the screen protector portion? Is it crystal clear and feals like glass? I hate the Zagg protectors because they ruin the feel of a touch screen. Vikuti and Steinheil are great, but a ***** to put on right. (For me at least...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sirgatory:
Ghost armor doesn't do matte screens :p only crystal clear.

The front protector itself is polyurethane like Zagg, however it is much thinner and way more natural. You need a microscope to see the orange peel. It fits better than the zagg best buy gave me too. Much more precise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Anfeldt24:
For some reason I prefer the ZAGG. Looks to me like the image is clearer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sirgatory:
I think zagg quality depends on the phone. The zagg on my iPhone 4 was good but on the skyrocket it looked horrendous. The ghost armor protector is the way to go IMO

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Went and got the carbon fiber back set and clear front for $43.. pretty happy with it. Much easier to hold on to now with the carbon fiber back, definitely the best part of it. I may or may not keep the front cover, since the gorrilla glass really doesnt need a cover. But I'd recommend the carbon fiber back to everyone with a skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Killre07:
Matte

Had the carbon fiber on my iPhone 4 for a year, but I honestly think the normal ghost armor is better for grip than the carbon fiber. I personally got the Matte installed yesterday and like the looks and the grip to it. Compared to zagg, the orange peel look is much less noticeable, huge fan of the Ghost Armor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sirgatory:
I went back to them yesterday and swapped to the carbon fiber back. Didn't cost me a dime :)

I do however recommend the screen stay on though, for I did exactly what you are thinking of. Took it off because GG doesn't need it. Boy was I wrong. Put it in my glove box full of junk while getting pulled over, took the phone out and had a lovely slash down the middle. Gorilla glass my ass.

Luckily I saved the ghost armor protector and brought it back to them, the guy put on a new one for free. Amazing service from them, and I'm never taking this cover off haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greenlitego70:
I have used Ghost Armor on every phone I have had since the iPhone 4. Used it on the SGSII and now the Skyrocket. I absolutely love this product. Just had my daughters Samsung Epic 4G wrapped in it as well. Worth every penny. Had the carbon fiber on the iPhone and the SGSII, but got the matte finish on the SR and I like it better than the carbon fiber finish and yes the screen protector is a must.

How easy is it to put on, without screwing anything up, if there isn't a location near me and I have to apply it myself? I'm in Houston and the closest location is is Austin or Dallas.

[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
I'm sorry I'm a noob, but I've searched and read a lot and I don't seem to see anyone with this exact issue....

I have a few email accounts. Before I flashed to gingervolt, I had messages from both accounts accessible in the same list and notifications worked for both. Now, I must choose which account I would like to access at a time.

I really can't find any settings to adjust this on the phone. Does anyone have a clue what may be wrong or is this just the way Gingervolt behaves?

Thanks.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
If I'm the same as you you mean 2 accounts in Gmail. You will get notifications for both but you have to view each account seperately. I've never seen it any other way.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Sorry, I know I wasn't very clear. I've got a gmail account and then another non-gmail account that I get via POP/SMTP. It seems I only get notified for the account marked as primary and I have no way to change the frequency with which it pulls from the POP server... I believe it's set to around 30 mins, but I can't find a way to change that at all.

Does anyone know how to (using GingerVolt):

1. Change the polling frequency of a POP account?

2. Set the notification to work for both gmail and another account, regardless of which is primary?

Thanks!
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Ok... So, I think K-9 mail is going to give me more frequent polling. Still testing....
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Glad you're getting it figured out :)
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
I thought the stock email client did this... Not the gmail client but the AOSP email client which allows 1 centralized box. You can also specify how often it goes and checks for new mail.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Which is exactly why I posted... I thought those capabilities would be in the mail client after flashing to Gingervolt.

K-9 still seems to be working well enough for me.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Ok... I have figured out the proper imap settings so the sync time is no longer an issue like it was with POP, but I am sticking with K-9. It is really well done. The ability to set the notification quiet time and a unified inbox are worth it alone.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] PG101:
Guys,

1. Till the time an ICS rom is ported or developed within XDA, no other threads are allowed.

2. neckbonest - your post was deleted as you were directing members to another site, which is against XDA rules.

3. Threads are closed to keep the fora clean.

4. Opening threads like this will not help.

5. I would have expected the OP (calling me "son") to have taken a bit more matured step, like PM me. Many of my fellow mods will construe this as "non-cooperation with the mods"

Cheers!

oh BTW - This thread is closed now. Please PM me if you have any questions.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] the_scotsman:
Because it's not your ROM, and this is why we don't allow threads in dev forums to just be a "pointer" to a ROM on another forum.

The dev forum is for devs who wish to release their own work.

prateekgujral obviously started an ICS thread for all things ICS related, so that several hundred other threads don't start appearing, cluttering up the forum...I would have done the same thing. Thus, you really should have just linked to it in his thread.

Also, please refrain from starting any more threads questioning a mods actions...it doesn't help anyone. If you have a question or concern about a mods action, contact a senior mod or moderator committee member.

But in this instance there's no need as prateekgujral has done nothing wrong :)
[HTC Desire S] wuhtzu:
Hi everyone

Phone: HTC Desire S

I downgraded my hboot from 2.00.0002 S-ON to hboot 0.98.0000 S-ON following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318919 and now my touch screen is close to not working at all. To large stripes in the middle (above the "options"-key, running top to bottom) are not responding to touch. If I touch in those areas the behavior is unpredictable. Sometimes the touch is registered, sometimes it's not, sometimes two touches instead of one are registered and so on.

When I come to think of it this problem was there right away, after i flashed to 1.28.401.1 using RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.08 0 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release.exe.

I was about to blame CyanogenMod (which was my end goal to get on the phone), but when I come to think of it the Android 1.28.401.1 had touch issues to. I only used this version of Android to turn usb debugging back on before moving on to flash Cyanogen. So I didn't thoroughly check the touch functionality at that time, but I remember it jumping between menus, checking options I didn't press and so on. So the touch screen stopped working before CyanogenMod.

The phone had no glitches before the hboot downgrade.

Are they software related? Can I fix them? Any suggestions?
[HTC Desire S] wuhtzu:
So I tried a ROM called SHADOW HAWK V2.1. It is build on the Saga Europe 2.10.401.8 base/official ROM and the problem with the screen is still there.

Should I try to revert all the way back to stock (remove clockwork mod, replace the revolutionary hboot with the official one, use an official RUU and do all updates available on the air) ?
[HTC Desire S] wuhtzu:
Okay, so I'm not back to

Android verison 2.3.5

Software number: 2.10.401.5 (sense 3.0)

S-ON, HBOOT 2.00.0002

Re-Locked

and still the same issue. I would like to believe it is a hardware problem, that the dying of the screen simply coincided with my decision to try out cyanogenmod (which caused me to downgrade, flash, unlock etc).

But the phone just got back from repair where the replaced the screen, so it should be a brand new screen. The repair note said: "Display module replaced".

Could this software tinkering have physically damaged the hardware?

EDIT: Could some kind of synaptic driver / firmware be missing or in need of being flashed manually ?
[HTC Desire S] wuhtzu:
No one who has experienced something similar?

The touch screen (or some other hardware) malfunctioning after flashing new roms? After all the hboot downgrade took the flashing of a new rom, so maybe the topic should have been "touch screen problem after flashing rom"...

Thanks again

Wuhtzu
[HTC Desire S] odda:
i believe that it could be a hardware problem ... i have never faced problem like this after downgarde Hboot ... i did it without any problem

sorry my friend i would like to help but i have no solution for that isuue but i will try to search
[HTC Desire S] wuhtzu:
Thank you for your reply Odda. I was not looking for a solution. All I hoped was that you would say "I downgraded like you did and my screen did not stop working" :)

Since that's pretty much what you have said I'm kind of glad because it makes it more likely that it simply was a hardware failure not related to the downgrading :)
[HTC Desire S] odda:
Completely agree with ... i downgrade my Hboot for my desire S . and my screen working normally:)
[HTC Desire S] wuhtzu:
You were all right. The screenproblem had nothing to do with the hboot downgrade. It was a hardware failure. I got the screen replaced by my telecompany (I had a insurance via them against smalla accidents).
