[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Entropy512:
I strongly reccommend CodeSourcery 2009q3-68 for building Samsung kernels. Newer versions can interact badly with Samsung's drivers.

The gcc binaries are prefixed with their architecture and other info. For me, I do:

export CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_blahblahblah/bin/arm-non-eabi-

before building. The trailing - is VERY important.

The actual gcc binary should be bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc - but CROSS_COMPILE should point to the prefix for all tools.

I structure my git repos a bit differently than others, my inspiration comes from LinuxBozo, an excellent developer over in the Infuse community. LB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> me.

I have an easy-build script that:

Copies the initramfs from a git repo

Cleans out the git cruft from the repo (Note: initramfs repo needs empty directories properly "placeholdered" - look for EMPTY_DIRECTORY files in my initramfs repos)

Builds the kernel

Copies all modules built into the initramfs

Rebuilds the kernel again to include the copied modules in the zImage binary

In my case, rather than editing CROSS_COMPILE in the Makefile, I set it with export as shown above.

Obviously my git repos are not usable for the E4GT - but if you look at how I structure things it may make your life easier.

I should look at the latest E4GT sources for stuff usable on I9100/I777. Yours are almost surely newer than I9100 update3.

Can anyone verify that the stock EL29 kernel + stock initramfs compiles correctly? What about using the initramfs posted in the OP?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
dmesg= dhd: no symbol version for module_layout

dhd.ko is the name of the wifi module.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Tried updated GB kernel source from Samsung site. No WiFi

Tried initramfs from OP. No WiFi.

Tried Rogue Kernel source from the github. No WiFi

Rogue initramfs with samsung source code. No WiFi.

Tried Chris's initramfs with samsung source code. No WiFi

And few other combinations with other initramfs with no dice.

I'm about to give up till some one finds what are we doing wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
Don't lose heart bro. We're not doing anything wrong. Something IS wrong, but we just haven't figured it out yet. Maybe just wait. I gave the info chris41g asked for and I'm sure we can work it out together.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
ok, i am a newbie to linux (unbuntu to be exact) let alone trying to compile a kernel. so in an effort to educate myself i have decided to take this on. after many attempts i have finally been able to get to the point of moving the modules without issues but when i go to move the modules i keep getting unknown directory error. so i took a screenshot of my desktop and my terminal. i have no issues trying things over and over until i figure it out but i am at a lost here. any help would be much appreciated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
Just move them manually, by hand.

The drivers are located in SPH-D710_SPR_Kernel > Drivers and just find all 6 in there appropriate folders.(By following the path in the command line)

Then open up initramfs > lib > modules, delete everything in there then past each of the 6 drivers in the modules folder.

Move on to the next step.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Try not doing a make clean.. between tries.. or building the full kernel twice.. instead of modules..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Thank you. I will give that a shot. Sounds easier then typing all those lines anyways. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
Chris,

Thank you for your help. I have tried that, several times and I am sure Interlope has also tried. By chance, have you built an EL29 kernel with this source? I understand you do not have the device, I am on IRC if you need someone to test. I just have a gut feeling that there is an issue with the source and the only way to get it to work is with heavy modification, which I am sure Team Rogue did to get a working kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
But I have tried to compile kernel with Team Rogue source from git hub.

No dice there either.

I've got wifi working only once. Even tried same source and same settings never got it working again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
After much review and trial I have come to the conclusion that Mork is truly from Ork, and there is some kind of problem with POSTMOD. Whatever mechanism used to create the CRC is causing symversion to be out of whack. I'm not dev, so I can't fix it. (yet) But I am sure someone can.

"Note: This keyboard does not work with Android phones"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
I have that keyboard and I can confirm it does work just fine. Older Android phones did not have HID support which is probably where that warning comes from. Our phone does have native HID support and it works beautifully. I even made a thread about it a while back.

[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Here's a few I made to get you started.

I didn't create any of the elements in these images. I just mixed and matched existing elements I found online. (Though I did type "Who ya gonna call?" without even needing spell check!)

The embedded images are JPEG's because that's how Photobucket rolls. The attached ZIP file contains the BMP and IMG version of all 3 pictures so you can either convert them yourself or just flash them right away.

Batman

Superman

Ghostbusters
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
You are a little late, there is already a similar thread and bootflash pro from the market is really the best way to go to flash a new splash screen. Good work on the splash screens though!!
[HTC Sensation] Technane:
Thanks Skipjack, i might look at this and see if you can copy from the pc to the phone with the same method,

then add that to my batch script if it works of course ;)

that's a little unfair, Skipjack had posted this method before but it hadn't been verified as working on this new FW, so credit to him for testing it. I am happy that there is this option and the one i have created, I am 100% for the free method though and will never use or recommend an app solution!
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I've never tried that, so I'm just guessing....but I don't know why you wouldn't be able to. I think ADB gives you access to the mmc blocks. (I said I think, not I know)

If it does, this should work fine.

I figured I had just flashed the new firmware...had a fresh nandroid backup....and the FW PM58IMG file was still on the SD Card. If it screwed anything up I could just reflash the firmware again in 5 minutes and be no worse off for wear.

And yeah about the BootFlash app...it probably works great. But I don't like having apps write to the dark corners of my phone without knowing exactly how the app works. It just takes 1 thing to go wrong for the app to think it's running on a different phone and write the splash file to block 17 instead of 14 and suddenly you've got a splash screen where something more important used to be.

Plus, that app takes any image off your phone....sends it to a server somewhere and converts it to a properly sized IMG file and send it back and then flashes it. That's a lot going on....and a lot of steps where something could get botched. It probably works 99.999999999% of the time. You could probably use it for years and never have a problem. But for some people, like me who are control freaks, that's not good enough. I like knowing each step of the process and being able to see if each step works right. But that's me. If you want to try BootFlash, go for it! I'm sure it'll work fine. If you don't like giving up that kind of control, use my method. (I say 'my' loosely. I didn't invent this. I just ported it from the MyTouch 4G where other smart people created it and tested it on the Sensation.)
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
this really is the easiest way, i have always flashed my splash screens like this. tried a few of the tools and they are just too much work rather than just typing in the command.
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
I am also sure the app developer has worked pretty hard on his app too...

Im not discounting your work, actually THANK YOU! Just throwing out other options.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I'm sure he has. And the developer might be a great programmer. It doesn't mean I'm willing to trust an app made by someone I know nothing about to write to my mmc blocks.

Even then, it's that the app is made for use with multiple devices that freaks me out. When the app gets updated, if the developer swaps the Sensation script to the MyTouch by accident and boom...you've flash to the wrong file.

For me, I wouldn't take that risk. But that's me. I'm a wuss like that.

I'm sure BootFlash works fine. This method is for people who prefer to do it themselves.
[HTC Sensation] TJD319:
BootFlash Pro is the EASIEST way. Open app, choose picture, done.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
What if the server that runs that file conversion program is down? :eek:

Servers do go down. It happens. :(

You'll be stuck with the splash screen you have for minutes...maybe hours! Your friends will think you're a loser because you can't change your splash screen!!!! They will abandon you. You'll still have hope to meet a beautiful girl who will love and marry you....if only you introduce yourself by buying her a drink. But alas....you're $1 short of what you'd need to buy a drink so you'll never meet her and you will grow old and die alone! If only you hadn't spent that $1 on BootFlash because you didn't want to set up a simple local script. :D

Seriously though BootFlash is great. This is an alternative to that if you prefer to do things manually.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Android flasher screwed me up one time. Something didnt go smoothly and my rom got all funky. I had to revert to a backup.

That sort of thing can happen easily with these "flash anything" apps.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Always good to have easy options, thanks.

Alao, can your command be entered via Terminal Emulator after su?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Yes. All GScript is is a terminal emulator clone that saves scripts.

Everything works exactly the same if you typr it into terminal emulator

But you deffinately needto su first
[HTC Sensation] SafirSwe:
Great! Works like a charm! I was lazy and bought BootFlash Pro, and it didn't work. Considering the time wasted playin' in Photoshop for a while to get that awesome image, the additional nbimg step to make it work is not that much of a trouble. I used Android Tuner Free instead of Gscript, so any program that can save scripts is fine. BUMP4thegreatergood! Thank you!

[HTC Sensation] JohnyB.:
NICE!!! :D

I just loaded the splash.img, in the attachment (i found it somwhere on the forum and converted it), by your instructions in teh guide... it works gr8.

I actualy couldn't do it with standard Terminal emulator. I did it with GScript. I had some doubts as the GScript force closes after some test sctipt runs... and when i inserted the command from the duide it also FC-ed but it loaded the Splash.img succesfully. :victory:

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Mark376:
Anyone tested wih S-ON? Does the hboot accept the new img?

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
As far as I know only with S-OFF you can change splash screens
[HTC Sensation] Mark376:
As far as i know S-ON doesnt accept unsigned p5*** for flashing the image.

My biggest concern was the hboot didnt accept the new image and not booting

What is currently, in your opinion, is the best ROM, as of late?

I'm currently using the latest of Bulletproof. Flashed it, wiped battery stats (It was at a 100). Lasted me _roughly_ a day. It was off a few hours.

But, I'm wondering what others are like.

Primary things I look for :

Faster/Better Performance overall.

Longer-lasting Battery.

Thats about it, and I know those two are pretty much contradictions, cause the better the performance, the faster your battery drains (or atleast, how I comprehend all this..)

Any suggestions are really appreciated :) Thank you.

And to all the developer's - Keep on doing what you're doing. I'm quite impressed with the current ROM selection. I know there are issues with S-Off and what not, but, to see as many ROMs as there are in here, that is quite nice. :) Great job guys!
[HTC Amaze 4G] papcoz:
Install Beastmod and if you don't like appearance and functionality, get a Go launcher and install it.

With the Beastmod you get about 3% battery consumption with 8 hours standby :)

And I'm using stock battery came with the box :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Fahnix:
Yep, that's probably your best bet
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reserved.:
Okay. Flashed it. :) Yaya. Looks great and is smooth. I'll see how the battery holds soon nuff.

What do you guys have under your kernel thing? I'm not sure if I'm flashing the kernel right. Q_Q
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
If your wifi works then you have the right kernel.

Use the Easy Kernel Flasher* to flash the proper kernels.

*refer to Development section.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
wow gotta get me beast mod!!! I did not try it for that long..thanks :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reserved.:
Okay, then yeah I did flash the right Kernel. :) Thank you. Gonna test this out for a good while.

i just followed binary's guide and it worked perfect and installed bulletproof.

the whole process took me about 15 mintues with downloading and reading!

i'll admit the instructions were looked intimidating but i think it's because it's set up to be so easy to understand.

Thanks guys!

I sacrifice GPS hotspot Bluetooth and USB mounting for beats audio on bliss sense 3.5 its not the best atm cuz it alpha 1 but bulletproof is good to.

Has anyone gotten droid explorer to work with the galaxy nexus?

It detects my device just fine but no files actually show up.

if i do screencast i can see all the files but not actually do anything with them.

Is there a way to get it to work because standard windows MTP doesn't give me the full access i need.

If not is there another program that will work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
If you feel like going old school you can do it with ADB via the command line. Droid Explorer essentially uses the ADB server to interact with the phone.

To view the file structure type: adb shell ls -l

To put files on the sdcard put the file in the same folder as adb.exe and type: adb push <filename> <location on phone>

To remove files from the device use: adb pull <location on phone> <location on pc>

You need to have root to get to file folders outside of /sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jojo54696:
is there a way to get droid explorer or a similar program to work? cmd adb isn't efficient for the amount of files i would like to transfer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jojo54696:
Well i switch from stock rom to a custom 4.0.3 and now droid explorer works so i guess that answers that question. Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathans8:
So I didn't know about the adobe update problem and my nook color got stuck in a boot loop so I ended up deregistering it and starting over. I rooted it per this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054027 using 4.6.16 and 4.6.18. Everything is working as it was before I was able to sideload the Amazon app store but after I download an app it doesn't install. I have the option to install with "App Installer" or " Package Installer" Both don't work. I get the same error messages that I got when i tried to install the appstore normally. "Unable to install please archive and then unarchive..." and "Parse error." I have tried installing new apps and ones already on my account, neither work. I have uncheck and check the non-market app box. I also wipe the nook and re-rooted to see it that would do anything, it didn't. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
1. The "non-market app" (or whatever name it is) box must be checked.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
its the regular fit. i dont like the case fit because it doesnt go all the way to the edges of the screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Looks like a lot of lint / dust is attracted to the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
actually not really, i just used a microfiber towel and it left that behind. im picky about that stuff too and the case doesnt actually attract that much if any.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Question about the XO skin (not directed towards the topic creator but I just figured that since this thread is somewhat related to it I could ask it here), how does the lifetime replacement warranty work? Is it like, you order it and get it but you apply it wrong somehow and it gets ruined they will send you back a new perfect one for you to apply?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
i dont think so, but i'm not 100% sure. maybe someone else could say
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CBMC:
I sent them a email. They sent me a link to order a replacement with a rma #. You have to pay $3 and some change for shipping. They tell you too send back the original skin, but for me they sent the replacement upon payment for the shipping. Note that they don't send you any more solution so if you don't have any left you can order more from the site for $3. Not sure if the adding of the solution will increase the shipping costs since I didn't order it. Basically they sent the skins in a regular envelope for regular first class postage of $.44. So they really don't lose anything because they make about $3 on the postage.

most likely lol.. ive seen them price drop on Amazon lately... bought myself the Commuter last night for ~$29 with free shipping.

Had a Case-Mate Tough Case before but was tired of the silicon attracting dust plus Case-Mate refunded me the money I paid for the case so it's like I got it for free because of the revision. Decided not to go with Case-Mate again and give this case a try as I bought a extended battery and that wouldn't fit with Case-mate.

Commuter: http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-SAM4...22G6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326478967&sr=8-1
