I'll see what I can do :P

However, there might be a minor problem which could delay the release of build1..

It seems the PC I had set up with Ubuntu and all sources for CM7 is broken of some sort.

When I turn on the PC all I get is a message it's in power save mode and I should press a key on the keyboard or wiggle the mouse, which both don't work.

I have completely disassembled it, cleaned it, reassembled it, tried to boot from a live CD, tried to get into the BIOS.

Nothing.

So until I get that figured out, I can't build..

Dympy.

Your ubuntu was on dual boot or virtual?

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
After disconnecting EVERYTHING, which kinda includes all cables and jumpers I found on the motherboard, and then reconnecting it all, I finally got it too boot!

So after making some extra failsafe measurements I'm ready to go :D

..

But first a game of minecraft for stress relieve :P

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] witched:
Good news!!

One advice if you permit: desactivate deepsleep/power save mode of your ubuntu...

I had the same issue in a older version with one of my motherboards. I remember i solved it with a firmware update (it was a bug with the power state).

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I5800
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yeah, it was probably because of my failed hackintosh try..

But I deleted it and now it works flawlessly!

Going to make some finishing touches and give my hand to at least posting tweets and facebook updates, then I'll make a new video of RA-social

BTW, witched, do you have the flash or HDD version of the 70IT?

Dympy
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] witched:
The flash one. I have a 2To nas, so i didn't need more than 8Go on it :p

@dympy: Your social hub looks WP7-ish... What on ur mind dude? WP7 ROM? Gr8! I like it actually! Eager for the first release!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] alen1901:
LoL! Its only this app, because of better visiability, more user friendly etc. Nothing to do with WP7.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, the design has already changed to another, somewhat les wp7is design. The screenshots are kina outdated but neither the build in screenshot function of cm7 or andross seem to work..

I'll try and shoot a new video after I tried everything on cm7 a8 and finished anotger project ( school..)

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
New video coming somewhere tomorrow.

Because I'll have some free time on my hands the following 5 days I'll try and release Build 1 ASAP, just want to test it in extend.

For instance, somehow the weather part sometimes randomly crashes when you want to start it..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
Are you going to port it to CM7 Alpha 8?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yup, I'm using CM7 by MarcellusBe as a base.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
Sorry i mean are you basing it on Alpha 8 or Alpha 7 because your signature says Alpha 7. Just wanted you to confirm :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Since he said he'ld be building from source, he'ld have all the new features n eye-candies minus the work done by marcellusbe (the new sensor HAL, camera preview workaround), we'll have to wait until he gets some time to release him - he'll do it soon, he's a open-source loving guy like all of us :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, it looks like he pushed Alpha 8 to his github, which means RA-mod wil definitely be based on Alpha 8!

I'm going to do some repo syncs soon, make some finishing touches on the current state of RA-Social, and restart with the launcher/Pyramid (They still use the old libraries).

Then I'll start digging in the Android source for some more customization.

But now I'll have to get some breakfast, walk my dog and vacuum the living room :P

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Also, a little note regarding RA-Social, I'm leaving out the mail part for Build1.

Why? Quite simple, it just doesn't work nicely with the other parts of the app.

It will be there in Build2.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] coolfire92:
If you are looking to add customization would it be possible for you to port features from aokp like statusbar mods(center clock,transparency) right from the settings,battery options(cm7 + miui type battery bar) etc.

Its already done for galaxy mini:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1344440

Would it be possible to add this to our build of cm7?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I'll look into it.

They most probably won't be there in RA-mod by default, but will be downloadable through Pyramid.

Speaking of Pyramid.

I would really appreciate it if some mode makers send me a link to their mod, a little description and of course the title of the mod.

This way I can add them to the Pyramid Repo.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
Can you add this in the ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574807
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Not going to, I'm making my own modded settings :P

If the developer would like to add it to Pyramid, contact him and ask him to PM me (or ask his permission so you can provide the details).

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Sorry guys, Build 1 is delayed by a week due some personal problems..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
Nice progress bro :D

Hope things work out :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Okay, before you all start hating me for not yet releasing build 1, here's a brief explanation.

I'm currently in some problem regarding school. I have some stuff I need to finish before I can continue on this ROM.

But, to continue, I need your help.

I never really made a custom ROM, so I was wondering, on what fronts do I need to test it?

Is there some kind of checklist available somewhere? :P

BTW, I'll try and upload some new screenshots this evening.

The ROM will then be CM7.2 based, and with a nice little customization feature added for the main menu (and later maybe other parts).

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
I don't know if google music API are available but they are can you try to include google music support in a next update ??

Take your time ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yeah sure, I'll have a look into it (;

It would make the whole Music App a lot more socially aware to, which would be pretty awesome.

Dympy.

PS. W00t! 550 thanks xD
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
*551 thanks ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
Interestingly, ASOT 550 is goin on :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Request for developers!

If you want your mod/tweak/other in the Pyramid Software Center, please submit it using the following link:

Pyramid Upload Form

If you have a CM7A8 compatible kernel, you can upload it using the "Other" option.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
But are you sure that the API are released ??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, there's an unofficial one available as an open source project on github.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pante5:
Can we expect a release this year?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Yes.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bscraze:
Maybe you can send to a few testers and let them use it for a few days and report the bugs. I would say:wifi, mobile data, SMS and calls, launcher working smoothly or not, are any apps inside the rom broken, is the ui smooth and more. I'll try to think of more if you still need a checklist, maybe pm me. I'm pretty sure you came up with these already, I hope you will be able to make your rom famous world-wide :D

Cheers:)

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
The sending to a few testers sounds good to me.

Especially since I have no 3G Internet or something :P

So beside me, probably PixDev and Harkan89, who else want to test this ROM before the rest gets their hands on it :P

On an other note, I'll soon be getting the components I need to upgrade my PC into a somewhat less sucky PC (8GB RAM instead of 2, Quad-Core CPU, instead of dual, and some other stuff). I hope this will make compiling a lot easier, which will hopefully result in more builds (I'm compiling for 2 different devices, the G3 and the Archos 43 will soon get a test version).

Also, I need to recompile it from source, I tried it today, bu the resulted file was 0MB?

I don't know why, I think I did something terribly wrong xD

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
I'm in.. ;) And I'm pretty sure Pixdev already is ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
Yep, I'm in! :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bscraze:
I'm sorry, if I still could mod my g3 I would help you test it too:(. All the best anyway :D

Cheers:)

@ PixDev and Harkan89

Ok, let me finish one or two more things before I recompile, and the .tar files will be send your way :D

@ Others who want to test it:

PM me and I'll send you a download link (:

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ak700:
I'm In! :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Awesome!

Also:

Good news everyone! (If you just imagined that in professor Farnsworth's voice, you're awesome)

There are new screenshots coming up!

And while I was making them, I dared to try out some other video qualities in the youtube part..

So far reported working:

- 360p

- 480p

- 720p

- 1080p(!)

Now the quality is not that good, probably because of our screen resolution and the bandwidth you're using.

I'll upload the Screenshots to the RA-mod Server and replace the current ones on the first place.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
Woops.. Sorry.. I forgot.. No Windows for me.. So no ODIN to flash TAR.. :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I'll look into making a flashable zip as well (;

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
Now THAT would be great :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
Ooh! Excited now :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
New screenshots are done and uploaded, when I get back on my PC I'll replace the current screenshots with the new ones. Now dinner :P

I'm also going to do some more work on the launcher tonight and make more screenshots :D

I'll compile tomorrow, then I'll get some new parts of my pc :P

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
Awesome - and don't forget what we talked about on Twitter earlier (very cryptic I know...) ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
Where are the screenshots?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nsdj:
i think that's why
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I didn't forgot!

Check your mail and reply ASAP, then we have yet another thing to show these guys :P

And yes, I'm back on my PC and I'm going to change the screenshots NOW!

Dympy.

Edit:

Done!

Check this post.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
Yep, I've got it, and I've replied back :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
And I replied back (:

To everyone else who is wondering what this is all about:

We're switching to an ACTUAL Server :D

The details for the new site and such will soon appear here :D\

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rubensollie:
So it will be ra-mod.com? :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Actually, yes xD

There isn't any content available as of yet (really, nothing), but PixDev will soon fix that part (:

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rubensollie:
Good luck :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
Everything has been downloaded off the old server and I am currently uploading it to the new one (all 3,200 files...). I will update this post when everything is sorted :)

Also, I've copied across the phpBB SQL database, so you don't need to create a new account and all your posts are intact.

Enjoy!

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] antaine:
you should post it in the first post because you'll have to check your inbox every 5 minutes :D

Just says it's a test version, and not for noobs :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pixdev:
http://ramod.x10.mx and any subdirectories now just redirect to http://ra-mod.com via a .htaccess rule, so any links to *files* hosted on the old hosting will no longer work.

Goodbye, X10-Hosting, you really didn't serve us that well XD
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
So I was upgrading my desktop, and I kinda killed the motherboard..

I got a new one, that wasn't that much of a problem, it's just that Windows simply hates it when you try to replace something like this..

Currently re-downloading Ubuntu (The only live cd I had was from version 9..) to reclaim some data and do a fresh install of both Windows and Ubuntu (I have to admit I was lazy when I tried out Ubuntu.. I used WuBi..)

So sorry, no test build today :/

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rubensollie:
Yep, i always have The same.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Okay, I finally restored all data on Windows, now I have to install Ubuntu and pull al sources for CM7. Again.

With a bit of luck I can start compiling tomorrow.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Install only Ubuntu 10.x or be prepared to face loads of errors

Also, with the bandwidth you got, it wont take time

Tip : After installing ubuntu, boot into windows, and use EasyBCD to install the windows vista/7 bootloader to MBR. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Okay, if I'm not mistaken, you can still download 10.4 from the Ubuntu site.

And you're right about the bandwidth :p I just hope my additional 6GB of RAM arrives soon, otherwise compiling with just 2 GB RAM will take a while..

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Yes you can :)

http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/

Also, if you 12-16GB RAM, you can mount $OUT to ramdisk which greatly increases compilation time

For me, building CM9 (clean build) takes about 35 minutes with normal computer usage, and 20 minutes if i mount $OUT to ramdisk :)

Would be about half for GB/CM7
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Okay, well, my motherboard is kinda old..

It goes up to 8GB of DDR2 RAM.

But still, 8GB is faster then 2 GB :P

Right now restoring some files.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Another little update, this time about the launcher.

Now if you're visiting my GitHub once in a while, you may have noticed progress on the Launcher part is kinda, well, slow.

This was not because I forgot about it, no, the contrary.

I was figuring out how the app knew what activity to start when a button on the dock was pressed, and I think I've figured it out..

It seems it loads an array and based on locations in that array, it will start an activity!

I'm trying to edit the code in such manner, that it will simply show a little popup if I press my own added buttons. When that works I can start implementing the GreenDroid library so I can use some parts from that one.

Also, one other little note about my customized apps:

I'm trying to get rid of the use of the menu button in my custom apps. Why?

Two reasons:

Reason 1 is quite simple: Some phones being released now have absolutely no buttons at the bottom of the screen because of ICS. This way I'm kinda preparing for the future.

Reason 2 is maybe a bit retarded, but my Menu key is breaking. This way I'll have to use it less and perhaps my phone will last a bit longer because of this :P

Anyhow, I'm hoping to push some new changes regarding the buttons on the dock this night. But first, I'm going to take a nice hot relaxing bath to start thinking clear again :P

Dympy.

EDIT1:

Wow, looking at the current code, it seems kinda deprecated to me..

It now works like this:

We have a fixed array, so it cannot be changed, containing launch activities for 2 buttons.

If we press a button we are going to set an index.

Then we load the array (so every time the button gets clicked) of launch activities, and we get the launch activity at point index.

I'm definitely going to make this code better with an eye on the future with custom apps dedicated to the buttons.

EDIT2:

Guess what, I was right :P

I made the method retrieving everything completely obsolete.

It even starts the activity faster! (no kidding, the intent time it shows in the logcat is shorter :P)

So now all there's left to do is:

- Bind the other buttons.

- Write the code behind those buttons

Now one of the pieces of code behind the buttons will most probably be written completely from scratch and I still have to see how I'll implement it..

Expect new screenshots by the end of tomorrow, and maybe a first build for the testers!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
New post, because the previous one got too big.

So another little update on the launcher thingy!

I have the dialer button completely working, even tested it with another dialer I installed (dialer one I believe).

I also had the browser option working, yes, had.

It now seems to open everything, EXCEPT the browser.

I have 2 browsers installed, but neither show up.

However, if I parse a url, such as google.com, it does show me the browser.

I'm trying to figure out a work around now, no luck so far.

I'll keep you guys up to date!

Dympy.

EDIT1:

Okay, getting closer to my goal!

It now shows the browsers!

..But also the contacts, gmail and phone app..

I'll keep searching for the answer!

EDIT2:

Okay, screw it.

For build 1 I'll just go with opening google.com in the browser.

As soon as I fixed the issue, I'll upload a new build.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Another little update posted over at RA-mod forums.

I'm going to use that one as the main medium right now, because we finally got rid of all 150+ spammers.

Anyhow, here's the copy:

Okay, after lots and lots of SPAM on the forum (from Russia, Poland and India), we finally fixed it..

We hope..

Anyhow, I have great news!

MarcellusBe gave me an account to his build server, allowing me to compile with the speed of light!

It compiles CM7 as is in 10, or 15 minutes, only my download from the server is taking more time :P

Anyhow, I'm now figuring out where to put the files I customized, so far I only found the location of the bootanimation (and maybe some framework files..)

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Ping me when you need help :)

Also, enabling ccache would make the build faster

device/samsung/apollo = device specific files

vendor/cyanogen = cyanogen vendor

build = the build system

frameworks = the frameworks

frameworks/base/core/res = the part you might be interested in

frameworks/base/packages/SystemUI = SystemUI (the status bar, etc.)

packages/apps = apps

system, dalvik, bionic, hardware - might not be useful for you

I shall try to release a pre-alpha by the end of the month.

I still have some homework left to do, so that's my top priority for today.

Most of the bugs in the Launcher are squashed, so next part is ripping out some more stuff I forgot and adding the new dock.

I'm also planning on trying to give the social hub thingy an actual layout, any ideas, please provide them.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
Well when I saw the name, I thought it was Ra One ROM. :D:D Ra One is a movie here in India. Not really that famous movie here. But then I noticed its G3Mod follow up and there is no ONE in the name. :P:P

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Now I feel obliged to watch that movie xD

Anyhow, a quick little update thingy from my side:

I'm done with bug fixing, now I just need to delete all unused things.

Somehow, and don't ask me why, there are a lot of unused methods/classes..

When that's done I'll implement the new dock and post a sneak peek in this thread.

I'm also talking with Andreapier about the integration of KMApp in the settings.

We are probably going to edit the device specific settings part.

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] EternalFame:
damn thats real dev work what you are doing here!! most of the "devs" here just copy and paste some tweak files or already done frameworks and feel like they programmed MSDos new :D

i really love to check this thread :D go on with developing..you are the man (:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
hahahah at above post xD

@ dympy

i recommend adding a specific page of the launcher just for social hub. so one page is main page, other user pages, then one sticky page of social hub, which can be turned off in the menu. also add the widget anyway in case some1 wants to resize. hows that? dont forget to put xda in social hub, cant remember who first said this, awsome idea...

also, in the stock samsung, there was a bug in the sns. the facebook posts provided were only the latest, if some one had a post and it was older than a couple of weeks or smthng, it wouldnt be there in social hub or contacts-->activities

my personal problem while using launchers: live wallpapers lag if you scroll pages.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Added a banner, thanks to Pixdev for making it :D

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
Man-o-man, FINALLY. Looks awesome the new banner. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] coolfire92:
Best of luck!

Its been a long wait for a stable cm7 build and now custom roms based on it have already arrived in such a short time!

For the launcher,something like a panel thing as seen in claystone launcher for feeds and sns updates?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I was planning on using something like that for 4x4 widgets. The Launcher is now in destruction phase. A lot of bugs have been squashed (e.g. you can use the back button in the all apps screen, it was disabled by default for some reason), and now I'm going to yank out all graphics I don't need (which is going to be fun, just delete the image file, delete the generated file, recompile and watch the IDE twitch because it can't find the resources it needs :p).

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] coolfire92:
Looking foward to it!A glitch free app is most important.Cosmetics can come later at any time.

Btw will the ROM be deodexed?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
it doesnt make a difference. if it isnt de-odexed, you can deodex anytime by yourself. feel free to pm me if you dont know how to :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
I don't know, shall I put up a poll?

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Thanks!

Exactly what I needed (:

Also, I take the bootanimation is place in device/samsung/apollo/prebuilt/ldpi/media?

Since that's where I found the bootanimation.zip :P

Dympy.

EDIT1:

Compiling the default code went successful and all, just need to test it by converting the system.img to a flashable format :P
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Generally, it lies in vendor/cyanogen, and is copied by vendor/cyanogen/products/cyanogen_<device>.mk (talking about GB)

And so is the case for us, it's copied by
