My guides are actually step by step and I'd rather have people follow the official instructions, as things do get updated from time to time in my kitchen. I will link to cryberts screenshots or whatever you may have, as additional help. Thanks
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] oisis:
So remove my HOWTO from this thread and wait for your official one or finish it?

Sorry for my english but it is not my native language. :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dsixda:
No bro, keep it as is. I'll post my instructions later when the kitchen is stable. I am working on a couple other things in it and will let you know when done. I don't want ppl posting kitchen-based ROMs right away without the kitchen behaving correctly. After I post the official thread I will link to the important posts here and we can redirect people to the new thread.

Thanks

Hey,

how can I add custom bootanimation support? Is it really enough to place a bootanimation.zip in data/local/? I think I need the right kernel to use this or am I totally wrong? And if yes could someone provide me a HowTo what I need to apply this?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dsixda:
I read in that FeaMod kernel thread that you need to rename it to system/media/sanim.zip. ??
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] crybert:
Tried that, but the stock kernel has no custom bootanimation support which I want to implement. So I tried this:

I took the stock boot.img from XXKPS 2.36 and the bootanimation binary from CWMRecovery

1. Extracted boot.img in boot.img-ramdisk and zImage with the Kitchen

2. Went in boot.img-ramdisk and edited the init.rc file like the following

#service samsungani /system/bin/samsungani
# user graphics
# group graphics
# disabled
# oneshot

service bootanim/system/bin/bootanimation
user graphics
group graphics
disabled
oneshot

3. Build the boot.img and flashed the rom with sanim.zip in /system/media/

And now comes the problem. The phone plays the custom bootanimation but ends in a never ending bootup process. You have an idea why this happens? Is there somewthing wrong with the rebuilding of the boot.img or have I to edit more files?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dsixda:
I have no idea, maybe ask the guys who make the kernels.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dsixda:
I've updated the kitchen with some more updates for the I9001. It can now handle Multi-CSCs properly and remove the APKs if requested.

Just go to the github page and download "I9001_test2.zip":

https://github.com/dsixda/Android-Kitchen/tags
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dsixda:
By the way, on my Galaxy S2, it says

service samsungani [B]/sbin/bootanimation.sh[/B]
user graphics
group graphics
disabled
oneshot

My /sbin/bootanimation.sh (on the device) has the following:

#! /sbin/ext/busybox sh

if [ -f /data/local/bootanimation.bin ];
then
/data/local/bootanimation.bin
elif [ -f /data/local/bootanimation.zip ] || [ -f[B] /system/media/bootanimation.zip[/B] ];
then
/sbin/bootanimation
else
/system/bin/samsungani
fi;

This file was probably injected by Chainfire because we use his CF-ROOT kernels. But it may help you.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] hbrayall22:
Greetings everyone. I had a Bionic, rooted with a simple "one-click" root, wich seemed to work fine on my phone. At some point the phone got cracked recently and i paid veriz for my insurance replacement. I stored all my music, vids, pics on my SD card and transferred it to the new one. Can someone please tell me if I try to play these files, this message displays:

"Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file."

Picture won't show at all either. I have tried copying these into their normal folders on my internal memory. No luck. How do I fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theorogelio:
Hello guys, I am trying out a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. In your opinion, is this phone worth it? Is there a good selection of custom ROMs for it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
The phone is in itself not too bad for when it was made. It compares well to some of the newer phones. Performance wise I feel it is better than my sensation. However the dev support is very limited. They are great devs that deliver outstanding work but there are only about four devs and a handful of roms. In my opinion if you can hold out for a more current or more popular phone go that route. But if you go with the sgs4g you shouldn't be dissatisfied.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ptaylor09:
Really? U would choose a sensation over this phone? My sensation kicked the **** outta this phone. You need to root ur sensation so you can really feel the power of the DUAL-CORE processore... I can point you to a damn good rom if you'd like. I guarantee you wont say this one is better.

Back to the question, its really according to your budget, but personally, this is how I would put the tmo phones n order, 1.sgs2-2.sensation-3.amaze-4.mt4g(HTC)-5.sgs4g.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theorogelio:
Thank you guys. I actually returned the phone.I am going to buy the Galaxy S2. I dont think I will rootit.I have read about a lot of problems brought about by rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Um been rooted. Tried cm7 alpha 10, miui, another cm7 build, insertcoin, romanbb's rom, and some others. I see no difference in performance. Quadrant scored about the same. My sgs4g got better battery life and better data speeds.

How bout something useful, like gps logger, call log, browser history. Make an app/server side interface that can customize various parameters such as minutes between gps logs and upload server. Several small companies would love to trace their employees activities on company phones. Might even get you paid.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ell3:
1) Build an android HTTP server that parses the user agent and serves a different browser exploit depending on what android version is on, if it's a miss, forward to the actual requested page, if it's a hit, go for it!

2) + Arpspoof

3) ???

4) Graduation :D

Or something that will overwrite the default CD .iso image in the device (the one that is mounted when you plug the phone on the pc) and make a modified version of that with something evil that will jump on the pc.

jk... so is it going to be some app or PoC or a paper explaining potentials of exploiting from/to Android (like Zimperium - Anti / Faceniff / Droidsheep)?

I made a malware-related graduation paper many years ago...

I would recommend start learning reversing android malware, As you progress you will know the tricks of the trade and you can write your own stuff.

I been doing some reversing for a while as part of my job, A simple idea would be to write a small piece of code which sends sms to preminum rate numbers with out users knowlege (there are loads of them already doing it)etc..Start with simple ones which does not have support for command and Control center (C&C).

Read more about exsiting malwares which are around and i am sure you can prototype the one you wish to start with.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Hi Guys,

I know there's been a few threads on this, but a lot of them don't really answer what I'm about to ask.

I've noticed lately that my battery has been losing about 10% in the first half an hour, then goes down quite slowly which makes me think I need to wipe the battery stats. However a lot of people keep saying 'wipe battery stats' then fully drain, which seems like a ridiculous idea knowing what we know about how badly batteries react to full discharges (on a bad day you can actually knacker the battery), so what I'm asking is can I just wipe the battery stats at 100% without discharging. The user manual never said about fully discharging my phone when I first got it so why would I need to do it now? Also, this concept of bump charging, how would I do it on a Galaxy I9000

Thanks very much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janzomaster:
Breaking you battery through a full discharge? Never heard of that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
again though, a full discharge, is that wise?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
You need to calibrate your battery. There is an app in the market..just search "battery calibration". Charge your phone to 100% then use the app to wipe the stats. Let your phone discharge. Full discharge is not necessary. Discharge to 1% then charge it back up to 100%. Good to go. If you don't want to use the app, you can wipe your battery stats in recovery which accomplishes the same thing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janzomaster:
When you drain your battery, your phone will not just stop working at some point, it will shut down your phone in an orderly fashion before you battery is fully depleted.

When I drain my battery and my phone shuts down because of it, I can still switch it on again and it will work for a minute or so after it has fully started before it will switch off again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Could I not just wipe the stats and not fully discharge? Or does that achieve nothing. I'm pretty certain it's these battery stats. Today, it went down to 84% in seconds. I've noticed if I plug it in, it charges full, unplug, then plug in again, it starts at about 91% and does the rest. Sound like a battery stats issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janzomaster:
When you charge, you phone says "charged" as soon as it hits 90%. Check the about-menu in settings (or in my case at least, the lock screen while plugged in) to see at what percentage you really are when your phone says it's charged.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Oh right I didn't realize that. I'll try it. I've just unplugged it and it immediately said 98% so I plugged back in. This time when I pull, I'm going to wipe the battery stats. I don't really want to discharge fully, because even at 1% it's not great for it. If anyone can state categorically that I shouldn't, tell me now please haha :D

Hi,

I want to take advantage of the "10-billion download - 10 Apps for 10c" offer, but my device is not compatible with all of the apps. I'm soon going to upgrade to a SGS2 so I wanted to appear to the market as a SGS2.

I changed the build.prop, wiped cache, dalvik cache, Android Market cache & data, Google Services Framework cache & data.

Now I do have a new device available in the online market, the SGS2 I was going for (GT-I9100), but I still can't install anything more than before (specifically Asphalt 6 & Great Little War Game). My actual device is a HTC Hero (running Elelinux 7.1 v3.6 Android 2.3.7)

Here ist what I changed in the build.prop:

ro.product.model=GT-I9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-I9100
ro.product.device=galaxys2
ro.product.board=GT-I9100
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.product=galaxys2
ro.build.description=GT-I9100-user 2.3.4 GINGERBREAD XXKG2 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-I9100/GT-I9100:2.3.4/GINGERBREAD/XXKG2:user/release-keys

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albertotuchi:
Hi all, I have a Galaxy S2 with 2.6.3 and a Tab 10.1 with the latest stock rom 3.2 kk4. I have the latest kies version on my PC. My S2 has a tasks.apk instaled which syncronize perfectly with Outlook tasks via kies. I want to do the same with the Tab 10.1 but I am not able.

The Kies syncronizacion menu does not give me the option to sync task when the Tab is plugged (just let me contacts, calendar and notes).

I noticed that the Tab do not have the task app instaled, so I took it with root explorer from /systema/app in my S2 and instaled it on my Tab. The application works fine, but Kies didnt let me sync tasks anyway.

The next step I did is to identify the processes that are involved when Kies is syncronizing to copy them from de S2 to the Tab. I copied "TaskProvider.apk", "wssyncmlnps.apk", "syncmlds.apk", "syncmldm.apk" and "MtpApplication.apk" from S2 to Tab and gave all the permissions and change owner correctly.

After changing all this files I thought the tab was going to burn when I plugged it to the USB, but it worked correctly and Kies opened correctly.

BUT WITHOUT THE SYNC TASK OPTION TO PICK IN THE KIES MENU.

I am starting to think that this option to be activated or not depends on the kies program on the pc instead on the apps on the Tab.

¿Any suggestion or idea to get to syncronize the Task? I am opened to try whatever.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long explanation.
