What's stock kernel？？And what's latest kernel?I found the words many times in many threads in this forum.Who can help me.Thank you in anvance.:)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maliceomalice:
i dont know the correct term but kernel is the thing that kinda complete a rom. u can open about phone under setting in ur phone to see ur current kernel. that is stock kernel.

some roms require certain kernel to enable the rom to works, n some roms can work properly with stock kernel or optional to use with custom kernel.

there are 3 kernels available now for x8, n the latest is nAa v07, however, note that the latest kernel doesnt means that it will provide the best performance. its just depends on the matter of whether the kernel is compatible or not with the rom
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujeeb999:
Kernel is generally drivers in between your rom and your phone hardware..

Stock kernel is the kernel which is installed by default from the manufacture company.

Custom kernels are kernels made by developers to work better of the roms with the hardware..

hi, i am new to this posting stuff so dont bother criticizing.

Anyway, i am running the ICS Port version Alpha 0.4.1 and it runs beautifully, everything that is stated to work does work, and like a charm.

My problem is, i cant download anything! In the marketplace, the "downloading" bar just sits on the "download" part and anything from the internet just hangs on the "download" part. Does anyone know how to fix this? please help as i can get NO apps or anything at the moment.

HI guys a question, I just received a new phone and I have rooted it, now my problem is I am wondering if I can restore my previous backups from my last phone to my newly rooted new phone?:confused:
[EVO 4G General] quocamole:
as long as you don't restore wimax,i think you should be ok. risky nonetheless. I wouldn't. I'd also wait until others chime in.

edit: are you talking about nand backups? I've restored apps w/ data fine (not system).
[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
I've restored apps and data to new phones, never system data. I've never had a problem.

We're comin from a pure power source.
[EVO 4G General] RamesisX:
Therefore restoring a nanroid will contain system files so I should just reflash rom and start a new? I was hoping for a different answer but the quick responses are appreicated.

[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Initially made this for my hybrid ROM v20M/v20E but don't use it any longer as I replaced whole v20E framework with v20M framework.

But for topogigi / v20E users this could be helpful.

Combined with an actual 0725 Baseband of v20L or v20M and a RIL like the italian v20L 0725 RIL this framework file will fix the flooding with fd_not_activated messages (in 3G mode!!) in logcat for topogigi users. It will be just like on v20L/v20M ROMs.

Recplace your current framework.jar in /system/framework

And backup first!
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Anyone tried this? Will it work for Gr5 (20L)?
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Omg, why would one want to put a v20E framework file over v20L where the FD_not_activated logging is already fixed (I'm talking about 3G not 2G)??? Also it would cause bootloops... Think people, please think...
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Opps... sorry! I though this is a 20m version that can be used on topogigi.. and last I check I still have FD not activated, but yeah, maybe that was in 2G becoz I use toggle 2G to manage my 2g/3g connectivity. Apologies again. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
No problem, this is a v20E file, you can use it on topogigi or other v20E ROMs and it will fix the logging flood of "FD_not_activated" in 3G mode!

So you can use this file if you use topogigi!

In 2G you will still receive the Log, as in all other ROMs (v20L/M)..

[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
The Note. Newer exynos.

In the realm of android in a entirety it is the tegra 3.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
This will probably get moved, but I do believe it is development related because it is important to everyone who flashes ROMs but can't use ODIN for whatever reason (ie Linux/Mac users).

Seeing all the ROM cookers get asked so much to make system.imgs or update.zips to cater to the Linux/Mac users, I decided it was time to tell people how to just convert an ODIN Tar.

I will tell people how to do it on Ubuntu seeing that is what I have (in a VM), but once I have the patience to install Mac OS in a VM, I shall make a guide for that.

Please note that if the factoryfs.rfs is in RFS format (ie it's a stock ROM or it's a ROM by someone who doesn't like EXT4 for whatever reason), you will not be able to do this. The format the factoryfs.rfs is in (EXT2, 4, JFS, whatever) needs to be supported by your Linux kernel. You can check that by doing cat /proc/filesystems

After a lot of investigating, I have learnt that RFS is a broken version of FAT. You could poke around with it and try mounting it as vfat but I don't guarantee success.

ODIN TAR -> System.img

Download your TAR and save it to your Desktop (I will use Kyorarom Ascendency Beta)

Open the TAR with Archive Manager (or whatever you use) and extract the factoryfs.rfs from it to your desktop. You don't need anything else

Open Terminal (under Applications > Accessories)

Go into superuser mode:

sudo -s

Make a mountpoint for the system:

mkdir /mnt/system

Mount the image

mount -o loop ~/Desktop/factoryfs.rfs /mnt/system

Change directory to /mnt and make the tarball for the system.img

cd /mnt
tar cvf system.img system

Unmount and clean up

umount /mnt/system
rm -rf /mnt/system

Copy the system.img to your phone

System.img -> ODIN TAR

Download a TAR from another ROM, and the system.img to your desktop.

Open the TAR with Archive Manager (or whatever you use) and extract the factoryfs.rfs from it to your desktop. You don't need anything else

Open Terminal (under Applications > Accessories)

Go into superuser mode:

sudo -s

Make a mountpoint for the system:

mkdir /mnt/system

Mount the image

mount -o loop ~/Desktop/factoryfs.rfs /mnt/system

Change directory to /mnt and make the tarball for the system.img

cd /mnt
rm -rf system/*
tar xvf ~/Desktop/system.img

Unmount and clean up

umount /mnt/system
rm -rf /mnt/system

Put the factory.rfs into a TAR and flash it with ODIN.

Done! Hopefully this should all work nicely for everyone.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Nice One... :) Should be helpful for ROM Developers to provide system.img for their ROM's... :)

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] vsoft11:
Can u pls explain tht furthur.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Pretty much do the same thing but from in ADB shell, and instead of the command:

sudo -s

with

su

and

tar cvf system.img system

gets changed to

tar cvf /sdcard/system.img system

Also I'm pretty sure on the phone, /dev/loop0 is called /dev/block/loop0.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
I'll probably have to wait until you put up a mac tutorial.. :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mankokoma:
As MacOS is basically Unix you should be able to do the same with/on/in a mac when you open a Terminal/Console (forgot how it's called exactly)....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
Wouldnt it be easier if you run this commands?

mount -o loop factoryfs.rfs ~/Desktop/system
tar cvf system.img system

the mount command mounted it succesfully for me
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
Wait a sec.. I have to use adb for this? Cuz I tried the commands as mark mentioned but it didnt turn up any results.. I do recognize some of these commands, so probably it should run on the mac Terminal..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Because I am foolish. I shall improve the guide later today.

I got my Mac VM working so I will use that and make a Mac guide.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
Yaay! Finally! :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
You can use adb too (but these commands should work on a Mac too, as Mac | Linux -- UNIX (based on)

Or you can always use cwm!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mohsin2cool:
is there also a way to convert system.img to tar files...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
I have superuser enabled on mac.. WHen I try the first command.. mkdir /mnt/system.. it says no such file or directory found.. and losetup is apparently not a command recognized by mac terminal.. :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Yes, I shall make a guide for that after Christmas.

Macs don't use a /mnt directory. They use /Volumes, just like how Ubuntu is moving over to /media.

And I don't think the mach kernel supports losetup type stuff. I will make a Mac guide after Christmas.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] devc0ol:
HI

If u got the time, Can u pls make a tutorial video for this using adb. Would have bn very helpful.:D:D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Jason-EX:
nice guide, but will it also work if you convert it with CWM recovery?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
What do you mean?

[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
I received an email from Barnes & Noble today saying that effective with renewal of my card they will offer $25 discounts on both the Nook Color and Nook Tablet and $10 on other Nook models. I was disappointed when I bought my NC and had to pay full price (they typically give discounts of at least 10% with the cards).

Nook books don't get any discount and I probably won't renew the card. I haven't bought any paper books for over a year.
[Nook Color General] DeanGibson:
One discount per year

Note: one discount per year.
[Nook Color General] Anemailname:
Seems kind of useless after you've already purchased the Nook! You pay the $25.00 for the membership then they give it back to you in a discount?

I let my membership lapse as well, no discount on E-books so there is no point in giving B&N another $25.00!
[Nook Color General] asting:
They've been doing this promo for months! Now if only their membership had benefits....
[Nook Color General] harryzee:
I look at continuing the card this way...

Over the course of a year, I will spend enough time in my local B&N's to read at least 7-10 books "in store". This is my way of offsetting no discount and/or coupons for my e-book purchases.

While I am there performing the above function I purchase enough frappacinos and soup at a discount over the year to offset the annual $25.00 renewal when combined with the increasingly rare actual book, magazine, or DVD purchase.

The community college where I teach online has a B&N owned/operated bookstore that used to give the faculty a free card each year but that stopped about two-three years before the Nook came into existence.

I am not experienced or have never unlocked a phone myself but would love the skills like you.

I think the software on the "Locked" phone has a special "Tweak" where the software (Operating system) only allows the specific carrier access to the hardware needed.

Some have PUK codes which removes this "Block",

This should help...

Hey everyone. I am running the newest infinity ROM. I was wondering if like GBE 2.1 I have to apply the script on boot or if the settings will stick
[Verizon Droid Charge] coreysr:
I was wondering also, but I think (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

since we don't have a source built kernel there is no support for init.d where I beleive the file to make v6 stick is located. In the mean time I've been using auto memory manger from market which does the same without the kernel tweaks. That app does stick through reboot.

Sent from InfinityROM using xda premium
[Verizon Droid Charge] coreysr:
Also, if your getting redraw, which lead me to v6, this tweak is the best answer to that. In terminal emulator:

Type: su

Hit: enter

Type: echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1>/data/local.prop

Hit: enter

Type: reboot

This locks whatever launcher into memory, I've never seen a redraw after doing this. To undo it just delete the local.prop file in data and reboot. Hope this helps.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] ttabbal:
Very cool. I was wondering if this CPU supports leaving it like that but still being able to boot normally, much like FIREFIREFIRE where it starts in fastboot mode, then after a short time, switches to normal boot. There is a hack for the Galaxy S phones that works like this. You short a point on the board, then leave it that way. Now when you boot, it will try to boot from USB, and if that fails, switches over to internal flash. This would be a very nice mod to have.
