No more free storage?

This story on Ars points to a disturbing trend...the death of high-volume free hosting. Read it here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jvnat:
That's really sad and bad for legitimate uses of free online storage. I'm sure some new structure for sharing will come up if this continues, but it'll be bumpy until then.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
No, at least the processor, the camera and the way to access recovery/download modes are different.

I'm not sure how we can root the galaxy w. The procedure of the exhibit 1 works for the exhibit 2. I'm not aware of anyone posting they used the recovery of the w on the exhibit, that would be a great news.

There are around 66 files which are different in the Kernel of both phones if I remember correctly (I would say it's a small number but I'm not sure).

That being said, they are probably as close as we can imagine in term of hardware, that would be great if the development of one platform could benefit another.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
OK so if swap some stuff around theoretically shouldn't we be good

[Miscellaneous Android Development] c_86:
i think the exhibit 2 and the galaxy w are the same... i know the one on Bell in canada is the same model number (on the box is shows: Samsung SGH-T679M) as what gsmarena is saying that the exhibit is... http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_exhibit_ii_4g-4277.php

so maybe they are they same hardware? and maybe just diff radios?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
Yes, you are correct, the galaxy w sold by bell is the T679M which I think have the same hardware than the T679 (exhibit II).

Most of the time galaxy w is referring to the i8150. The T679 models have a 1GHz CPU (vs 1.4GHz for the i8150) and a 3.2Megapixel camera (vs 5Mpixel). It is a cheaper model (but cheap is good for me !).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dswaggz:
So can we use there software

sent from my exhibit 2 greatness
[Miscellaneous Android Development] joshua.justice:
Only with the Galaxy W sold by Bell I believe. And maybe this can be of some help into porting CWM or another recovery.

Big time thank you for this nugget. I just rooted my phone tonight, and then ran the V6 Supercharger, looking through the tunables.

I've done a lot of Linux tuning over the past decade, 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6, from high-end (32 core, 512GiB RAM) down to embedded (ARM, PowerQIC, etc...). This script saved me a lot of trial'n error to come up with memory, VM and other, optimal settings.

Like yourself, I had no problem with the same Busybox in Z, and Script Manager handled kicking it off at boot. Definitely big thumbs up, not only is the memory usage down, but the run-time is peppy, even with several items running.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ocostich:
I followed the instructions for rooting my Exhibit II and it completed and rebooted. Root Checker says the phone has root access. Superuser shows in the apps. But now what? How do I uninstall the bloatware?

Looking in Manage Applications, the items on the safe to remove list either do not appear on the list of apps there or, when they do show up, say they are launched by default. In any case they cannot be uninstalled from there.

Forgive my ignorance but this is my first smartphone and have no idea how this is supposed to go. I do know I want this junk off the phone and the memory they use freed up.Thanks for any help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Coolbeans93:
Search root checker on the android market it will test if you have root access
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ocostich:
I did that and it says the phone has root access (and I edited my original post to reflect that). But now what do I do to to remove the unwanted apps.

Sorry to need so much hand holding, but this is my first smartphone, much less and android device. Thanks for your help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jvnat:
You can get Titanium Backup from the Android Market and it'll let you uninstall whatever app you want. Make sure you know what you're uninstalling first. Don't remove something that'll screw up your phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tokinjedi:
i will be getting this phone in about a week. coming from a g2 that broke a couple days ago. i have rooted the g1, nexus one, and the g2.

anyway, i would like to see development for this phone move forward so i would like to donate my cpu power for compiling or what have you. i have no programming experience beyond simple dos.

just tell me what i need to do get it setup and i will get it going. i have 2 pc's i can donate cycles with so i can almost run it 24/7.

i have win7 x64 on both, but will most likely run it on a quad-core i7 @2.whatever ghz (intels on demand turbo crap) with 6gb ddr3 1333 mhz laptop.

my other is a tri-core phenom II x3 720 BE that i am going to oc to 3.4GHz (at 3.2GHz now), 8gb ddr2 800mhz. desktop actually runs games smoother. laptop has a HD5870M, a beefier version of the HD5770 i have in my pc.

let me know if any of you dev's are interested.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
What I did is I got the paid version of titanium backup so I can freeze the apps without deleting them. If you do not want to invest money you can probably make a backup and then delete the apps you don't want (be very carefull on the choice of what you delete !)

There is also a script on the first post which will remove all unneeded apps (make a backup somewhere using a root file explorer like ES file explorer or root manager)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilpotent:
I used this script a few days ago (settings 6). I'm curious if you created a "local.prop" file. I did it (because the script was saying "small chance of boot loop" !) but I don't know if it is necessary.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jsm7777:
Hey guys about supercharger v6, it says it needs http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1017291 and this says it works if you have this file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode but I don't see this file on my phone, hence when I run V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh.txt I get errors as it is trying to find the file. I have checked with root explorer and haven't found the file, how did you guys manage?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jgrinst1:
As this phone does not have init.d support (until we get a custom kernel), you have to use Scriptmanager from the market to run this script, and then the one generated from it at boot. Instructions are in the Supercharger script itself.

Use the version I noted: V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update9_RC4 and it will work for you.

@Nilpotent - I did create a local.prop file but also not sure if necessary.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ocostich:
Thanks for that. I knew it hard to be something simple if you knew what tool to use. I presume that I should backup anything I might want back to my SD card.

I saw the list of what can safely be removed. Has anyone made a list of what has to stay?

Funny, I just switched from Rapidshare to dev-host.org for my ROMs/kernels. I don't have a fallback plan, but I sure can't afford to host them personally.

Interesting. Mozilla's new Boot to Gecko mobile OS platform. It's an early stage prototype. Knowing that it's from Mozilla it's definitely not just some custom ROM like what happened with OPhone OS. It's completely different system software so it would be hard as hell to port without any community support like we have with CM or MIUI. It's a new system and it's running on like one Android phone so it'll be a while before anything gets around. Keeping in mind that I've made these statements based on 15 seconds of a video and that 25 percent of what I've said is wrong, we wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of porting this at this time. We'd have better luck with CM9.

As for the porting of MIUI, the patch ROM solution seems to be put together worse than a desk from IKEA. There haven't been that many proven reports of people getting it fully functional on other devices. Something will have to be fixed first. As for my original ROM, I left my changelog on my desktop PC and will upload that very soon.

Setup environment, fork, git, repo, sync, port the libs, extract proprietary files from existing device, build, encounter an error, solve the error, flash, boot loop, throw device at wall, Repeat until it works.

Those are the steps required to port CM.

Well I took a stab at it. Took Stock ROM and some build prop tweaks by Wildchild and added custom Kernal from Jocala. Swung to the UOT Kitchen to theme it up some(colors,icons,font)removed TW and most bloat. GO Launcher, keyboard swype, apps added es file explorer, quick boot,Titanium Backup, CRT off and droid charge bootanimation.

Okay I'm fetching the cm/ics source now. repo keeps giving me fatal errors: "The remote end hung up unexpectedly" Obviously meaning that the server disconnected or lost the connection. I always remember this happening with gingerbread. Is this normal? Is there a way to improve the connection so the sync doesn't stop? For now I'm just retrying over and over again. Since the disconnects happen randomly it looks like the syncs start again where it last failed so I don't know if I should keep trying this until it grabs all the files or what.

Yup when we get cm9 its gonna get rid of all the BS from Samsung. We will no longer be limited by manufacturer limits that touchwiz sets.

I finally downloaded the source code last night. Procedure is to get the main cm source, download arco's source for the galaxy w, then compile the kernel for the exhibit and apply the boot image from that to the ROM to make it compatible with the exhibit. However I'm missing the proprietary files list for the exhibit and I cannot actually build because it tells me it's missing the ancora repository. I tried added arco's source to the xml file. What's the workaround for this?

Your standard procedure isn't mine.

I have no special building instructions, nothing I'm doing is based on anything secret or special. You have a working kernel in my github, samsung.ancora.ics. Have you downloaded & compiled it? Do you have the android sdk downloaded?

To pull ICS:

1. Install the android sdk
2. mkdir ~/android/system
3. cd ~/android/system; repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
4. repo sync -j16

Merge arco's vendor and device dirs.

the device dir is ~/android/system/device/samsung/ancora

the vendor dir is ~/android/system/vendor/samsung/ancora

. build/envsetup.sh && brunch ancora

It's hard to construct a roadmap when you're still on the journey, but that's my workflow. Currently, I'm redoing vendor & device for our phone. Unfortunately, it's not simple, but by all means have a go.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sakisa950:
always clear the dalvik cache. its a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program. Sounds confusing. It's similar to the prefetch files in Windows.

easier explanation its like links for the os it helps to keep everything fast
