Actually, it's you who needs correcting. There is nothing whatsoever wrong in selling GPL software. As long as you otherwise abide by the license (release your modified code to everyone who has received binaries compiled from that code), you can do whatever you want - including charging money.

Wrong again. MIUI (Xiaomi's version of Android) is not open source. And yes, this is perfectly legal. The reason why is simple: Most of Android is *not* GPL. Only the Linux kernel is (and possibly some other small components). Android itself is Apache licensed, which does not contain the clauses that you must release your modified source. So the only code Xiaomi is required to release is that of the kernel. The rest they can keep closed.

Tizen is built from the remnants of Meego, and using qt as a graphic framework does is about as fundamental change as installing Gnome (or should I say enlightenment) along side kde...

Samsung currently sells Bada phones, there feature phones only. And with Bada merging with Tizen means it will continue to be a feature phone os for Samsung. Its silly to think Samsung would replace android with Tizen for its high end smart phones.

So it wont be on the next galaxy anything...

And for that matter I wouldn't mind if it did become a real android competitor. I had high hopes for Meego as it made it really easy to port over linux software. Not to mention true open source.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
Is it? Is there actually Qt code in Tizen?

Incorrect. Bada is a full fledged smartphone OS, complete with app store and 720p video recording (on the highest end phones that also have the appropriate hardware, of course) and everything.

That I can agree with. It's a shame.

hello.

I just installed the latest Swag 1.908 (great freakin rom) and installed the hdmi mirroring app. When I go to start it it states I need an accelerated kernal, then it throws me to a link for kernals. my problem is i don't want to jack up this rom, I have this running good and dont want to jack it up, What kernal would someone recommend to work well with the swag on 4.54.651.1 2.33

kernal 2.6.35.10-freedom-v0.9+lithid@mpdi#1.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detcup4evr:
Not fimilar with swag 1.908 rom. If it is ginger sense ur gonna need a kernel. If it is ASOP, then just press the back button and you can skip the kernel step. If the rom is running the stock HTC kernel, there is the stock one with hdmi added
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosario04:
Accelerated kernal for evo

Perhaps it was my posting. The rom is SOS_v1.9.0.8-swag. Lets eliminate the rom for now and address the kernal question as to what accelerated (non-stock) kernal works with the evo.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It's dependent on the rom you have sense and AOSP kernels and gingerbread and froyo kernels. For SOS you want a gingersense kernel with HDMI chopsuey is one and freedom has an HDMI version you're on freedom now but not the one with HDMI so you will need to find chopsuey or freedom and get the one that says it enables HDMI I can't recall the exact version #'s but it will say in the op of the kernel thread

just curious if you got HDMI working. I just installed SOS rom a couple of days ago. Where did you find the HDMI mirroring apk. I did not see in the SOS folder I installed. Thanks

edit: I just downloaded app from market......do I need another Kernal or will this work with kernal already in rom? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
You don't need an app for HDMI mirroring on Gingerbread - if you have a kernel with the HDMI code built in, it's plug and play. In fact, you should definitely uninstall any app you may have downloaded to avoid conflicts.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosario04:
Biga1. Sorry for not responding as I have not been here for a minute. But, -EViL-KoNCEPTz- and Captain_Throwback probably answered your question and my questions. I will try the kernal but first delete the hdmi mirroring app.

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosario04:
hdmi mirroring

I did download and flash several different kernals and they worked fine. One mistake I found was when using the kernals thewith built in HDMI, the icon appears on the top left corner of the phone after you get the tv and phone via cable hooked up. then just pull down the icon and run the video. The only problem is that i couldn't anything else on the screen except videos. chop suey 9.6 and 9.7 worked well as well as anotherone(thanks EViL-KoNCEPTz).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] darkstar765:
One of the main reasons i continue flashing back to the stock rom is because of the awful reader apps. Is it possible to get the stock reader flashed over?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
Sure.

TiBu then flash to a good ROM and restore the crappy delivered kindle app.

Or, keep your good ROM and download the kindle app from Amazon market.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zomboogz:
I know recently someone discovered that the "Web" link in the stock rom (Silk) is actually a .apk. I wonder if its something similar for the reader. I know that took quite a bit of work to port over though and most of the devs around now are working on the ICS port. You interested in getting you hands dirty here or are you requesting someone else to look into it?

I personally would rather use the Kindle app from the Market, the stock Kindle app is too finicky when it comes to books you put on the device yourself.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] gloos:
The kindle app in CM9/ICS is almost the same as a the stock kindle app, its gorgeous and easy to use. If you dont care about not having sound then you may want to use ICS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CTTKDKing:
That's good to know. I had no idea the kindle app in ICS was different from the one in Gingerbread. I may be getting my ICS flash on tonight. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thomas1218:
Anyone know why I can't access the margin settings in the ICS kindle app? It is driving me insane
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eratosthene:
That right there is why I won't move to ICS yet. Looks like amazon just hasn't updated the Kindle app for ICS, and some features are disabled, like the margin settings. Ugh.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tdbohannon:
I notice you are rooted. How did you get the stock kindle reader app back on there? I can't seem to make it work and my wife can't access the kindle owners lending library and it shows being registered as 'xxx android' rather than 'xxx kindle fire'.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thomas1218:
Bump it up
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sneakysolidbake:
I copied all of the missing libs from the stock rom and put them in my lib folder on ics along with a few apks. The launcher opens and lists books and apps and whatnot. However, with what I'm working with right now, it cannot read books and is highly prone to crashing the whole tab.

It seems highly possible and maybe not even that difficult to do but I'm not really sure where to go from here. I guess I'll see if a logcat could give me a tip....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] curiousGeorge:
I don't understand this question. I've been rooted since the first day I got this kindle. We've always used it for the eReader app.

Just don't flash that cyanogen nonsense and you'll be fine. You take the "kindle" out of the kindle with that kind of stuff. That said, when ICS stabilizes enough for full functional use (HW decoding, full lib support, all audio/kernel functions intact, all stock recognition faked properly, etc), it would make a very compelling switch. Until then, why shoot yourself in the foot?

Rooting is fine -- just keep the stock ROM on there. Don't change it. Just install market and even a different launcher if you absolutely abhor the stock layout, and you're free. No weird bugs, no limitations, the best of all worlds. Well, at least Amazon's world -- and the freedom to tinker freely in Google's as well. I use modaco's ROM now with a restore from stock. Works great too since it's based on the stock ROM with tweaked recognition.

Isn't it possible to use the lending library with Modaco custom rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nursereese:
Yes, but Modaco is for all intents almost stock. Great ROM, I love it, but I think what most people including myself would like is the stock Fire reader on ROMs like CM7 and CM9. :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] intel352:
Kindle app from the market is missing margin support. It has ability to change color scheme, but on a book I just tested, while the overall color changed, font color did not adjust. That means reading on a black background is now impossible, as the text stays black, and thus invisible...

Sucks, but I still wouldn't change from ICS back to standard Kindle rom, ICS is just too nice.

thanks for that yukinok25.

installed Orbot and it's working as expected.

it wouldnt be so bad if the filtering worked ok (i really dont need access to adult material on phone), but so many false positives, network content block is just annoying.

[General Questions and Answers] bdg2:
Please note that it's not ideal to operate a mobile device with 3Internet APN. You will get a public IP rather than a private IP in the 10.x.x.x range you normally get which means there is no firewall between your device and the internet. Also if Three notice what you are doing they probably won't be pleased that you're using up a public IPv4 IP that's really meant for mobile broadband users.

I was wondering if either Con or someone please write up a step by step process how to use the new kernel flashing feature under the dev menu for the latest release of Amon Ra. I am new to flashing roms on the HTC and have read a few different forums and threads describing what needs to be done to flash kernels with S-on, but it's starting to get confusing. Hope this is the appropriate forum for this , I am doing the reading, but this still much different than my OG droid.

I guess the part that is getting confusing is swapping z-images and the kernel modules.

Thank you

What I did...

I went to this link and downloaded the attached files on to my desktop:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20828158&postcount=55

1) FlashMeInRecovery.zip

2) PH98IMGZIGGYUNASSIGNED.zip

renamed PH98IMGZIGGYUNASSIGNED.zip to PH98IMG.zip

placed both zip files on to the external sd card

rebooted into recovery DID A NAND BACK UP then wipe/factory reset

Flashed my choice of ROM. I chose Ineffabilis

Flashed the FlashMeInRecovery.zip

rebooted into Bootloader and it automatically flashed the PH98IMG.zip (just follow the instructions you will see on the screen, i.e. volume up for yes)

after it was done flashing it said to press volume up to reboot the phone

after the phone reboot, I've been loving my phone even more :D

I haven't had any issues with bootlooping with this ROM/Kernel set up (knock on wood :p ) I have my cpu over clocked to 1.7 max 384 min (setCPU) and its very stable. If I bump it up to 1.8 my quadrant benchmark and linpack gave me inconsistent results.

Hope this helps!
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Thanks Digi, I do understand that process ok..just see that Amon Ra updated and added some automated functionality based off Con's script and I wasn't quite sure what how to use the new features. I am just staying on stock kernel, but as more rom makers start using custom kernels I figure I better learn how to properly flash kernels.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
gotcha. I'm still a n00b at this but I had my eris rooted and that was easy peasy to flash roms/kernels. I'm assuming that since the Rezound still has S-ON we need to do it this way now?

[Nook Touch General] lesdense:
I've got a friend who's about to be deployed overseas. He has used an Android phone for a couple of years, is an avid reader, has never had a tablet but is proficient with the Android interface.

He expects to have access to Internet (wifi) only periodically, he expects to be without electrical power for days at a time, he needs any non-essential gear to be lightweight and durable. He asked me if he should get an ereader. I think a rooted Nook Simple Touch would meet his ereader needs and go one better. I'm trying to set him up with a rooted NST that will give him access to a few essential tablet apps, an Internet browser for when he's got wifi and a selection of ereader apps so he can read anything that's out there in electronic print.

So far I've rooted the NST using SalsichaNooter (thanks for that), installed Go Launcher because you can easily increase the size of text and icons, SearchMarket to overcome the inability to search in Android Market (wtf?) and ereader apps Kindle and Google Books. I sent my Gmail account a pure white image that I use for wallpaper to make icons easy to see.

Some lingering questions:

Is there a way to reduce "color settings" or whatever it would be called so that the grayscale shades are fewer? I'd gladly trade more contrast for fewer times that a medium gray icon is barely distinguishable against an only slightly darker medium gray background.

Is there a way to make the icons of Button Savior larger? I love the app. I use it on every Android device I've got because I really like having these essential commands right under my thumb but making the icons twice as large would be nice.

Are there themes that are designed to optimize the settings for a grayscale device? I found a couple for "Go SMS" in Market but I don't know exactly what that is.

Is there a workaround for the inability to install the Barnes & Noble Nook ereader app? I keep getting "Installation error. Duplicate provider authority". I don't know if he needs three or more ereader apps but I don't want to limit his choices.

I've read the Nook Touch forums on XDA, I've done Google searches on these topics but haven't found good answers. If there are resources I've missed I'd appreciate a heads-up.
[Nook Touch General] tazzix:
1. To reduce colors or increase contrast, the only method that comes to mind is to use APK Manager or APK Multi-tool and modify the XML, png, and 9 patch files, will need some knowledge about Android layouts, etc. and color codes like #ff000000 is solid black. I had to do some, not really sure how legit that is, but original devs did not reply to emails when requested high contrast color schemes.

2. Replacing images with APK multi-tool might work, I tried google but can't seem to determine if this project is opensource or not, if it is, send me a link and I will modify it for you.

3. The nooter that you used, installs a good launcher and theme with a lot of monochrome icons for various applications, but as you installed another launcher, you will need to come up with a theme. Go SMS is a SMS application useful on cell phones by the same developer as Go Launcher, you will need themes for Go Launcher.

4. You could try modifying the manifest using APK mult-tool, however, I fail to see the point when you have an optimized version for the device already integrated with the device.

I can only provide you optimizations for opensource software or if the dev of the application explicitly allows to modify his APK, I will not provide you with any other modifications out of respect to the developers, I am one too. I hope you understand.
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
TouchNooter has a version of market that has search working.

You might be able to find with a little searching an e-ink theme for Go-Launcher in market. If all else fails you could probably create your own theme based off of like Minimalist black or use a non e-ink theme that does the trick.

The built in e-reader app is the equivalent if not better than the market nook app.
