i want to make a aosp build, and I need the device specific files, android_device_semc_shakira and msm7x27 for our device for froyo

cyannogenmod sources for x8 are only for cm7

Sent from my E15i using Opera
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagleeyetom:
You mean CM AOSP or Google AOSP? ;p

If I were you, I would try with CM7 source.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
man,

For our device there is cyanogenmod official sources only for CM7

I had the Cm7 source and i built one time just to see how it works, and i flashed into x8 and blabla.

But there isn't Cyanogenmod official sources for Cm6 froyo.

And there isn't also any Google AOSP sources (i think, that's why i'm opening this thread) for Froyo. So i'm asking if any dev have sources for this, or, rather, sources for CM6 that i can use to build Google AOSP ROM
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
anyone?

please, i want somebody to give me some "directions"

anything, please

I just want to share and discuss about this in our phone's dedicated thread and propose my personal Peaceful Protest for Freedom.

It will not do much, but for who is whatching us, this can be a signal of union.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CheesyNutz:
How the phone? I'm a long time HTC user I had the evo3d then left sprint for att I have the infuse now but looking for some HTC love again.

Hows the phone rate over all?

E3D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] greyhulk:
Do it! Do it now!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sbddude:
I got mine last week and love it. Forgot all about the iphone.

Battery could use improvement but its manageable.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kevsthabest:
The phone is very comparable to the EVO3d. Actually I think its hardware is very similar internally to it minus the 3d and the nice grippy back cover. I compared my phone to the coworkers EVO and they are quite similar. Loving this phone thus far! Fast and solid except I did get some random reboots with the stock firmware from rogers.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] greyhulk:
I have read several reports of people getting random reboots, but I have yet to experience a single one. It was my primary concern, aside from battery life (which has been great).

Then again, I'm on AT&T. Maybe the Rogers firmware is effed up.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mndgz:
Getting my Vivid hopefully next week. Will see how it will measure up on slooow European networks :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mndgz:
By the way has someone noticed does Vivid's display have Gorilla coating (scratch-proof) ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mug318ca:
I don't believe it does have Gorilla Glass.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ppcboyz:
Great phone,

- needs to be rooted

- needs a better mic or mic adapter

- battery life tons better with juice defender

- great web browser

- phone itself feels very fast.

- best to get rid of the att bloatware.

- Navigation is spot on ...

- Voice to text is awesome.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] greyhulk:
Why does it NEED to be rooted? I'm doing just fine without root.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

HTC generally doesn't use Gorilla Glass. Samsung usually does, but not always. That being said, I have never scratched a screen on one of my phones, but I'm also very careful.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sbddude:
Why are you on XDA Developers if you don't want to root?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] greyhulk:
Sorry. I wasn't aware that having a rooted phone was a requirement of posting on these forums. I must have missed that in the forum rules.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sbddude:
Not a requirement...

Kinda like skiing without a lift ticket. You can walk up the mountain but it's a whole lot easier to take the lift.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] greyhulk:
Everyone who is in the root crowd thinks it's the only way to go. I have been there. I have rooted and hacked my android phones and played with custom ROMs. I have also had multiple phones from every platform (iOS, WP7, WebOS, Android, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, etc.). I have more experience with mobile devices than almost anyone I know and I am the mobile expert for my company.

Some time back, it stopped becoming worth it for me to root. The phones do what i want them to do without root. I don't need to freeze apps, uninstall apps, wirelessly tether, block ads. I have no more interest in custom ROMs.

I just need a phone that works. If I have to hack it to make it do what I want, it's not a phone I want to own. This is why I no longer use an iPhone.

So, no, rooting isn't for everyone. I'm in this forum because it's talking about a phone that I own. This is the GENERAL forum, not the "Vivid Android Development" forum.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
I agree with you. This by far is the best phone I've ever owned. Out of the box it was fantastic. I was happy with the stock rom and only rooted to remove bloatware. I just recently downloaded Rumraider bc I felt like I was missing out lol but its not that much different from stock. Not taking anything away from the developers do not get me wrong, the work they've done is simply fantastic. Coming from an HTC Aria I was using CM7 and that was VERY different from HTC sense. I"m sure in time we'll get more variety of ROM's for the device. The phone simply blows me away. I play with it so much its my own fault the battery does not last all day siince the display is always on lol. With moderate use I lasts all day 8+ hours. If I'm being a texting whore and playing words with friends it will last 4 hours.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 2lazy2day:
This is a great phone. I would consider myself a very heavy user, I can stream music for about 7 hours, and still play around with it during my breaks at work and go home with about 25% battery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] twizz619:
yep i also am using rumraider on my new vivid and i got just almost 2 days of heavy use without the overclock. overclocked i get a good day and a half. I think the vivid is the way to go right now i recently had the captivate on ATT and it was an awesome android starter especially with rooting but the Vivid is an amazing phone well worth the hundred bucks. The camera and speed is remarkable i sell cell phones for a living and i love this phone and talk about it all day like the child i never had xD
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ppcboyz:
If you want to run the custom roms, and some apps the root is needed, If you don't want that, then it would be fine.. There are some features that I want with the custom rom.. stock I wouldn't keep the phone, I would go back to my iPhone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bower123456:

[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
$15?! No thank you!
[Verizon Droid Charge] cbrown245:
It checks more than just every boot. I purchased this back when it came out on the evo og, it is worth every penny. But only downfall is no icon customization. I currently have it on my transformer and it is smooth.
[Verizon Droid Charge] flyinj54:
It's not 2 bad. I did try it.. Big problem to me is that it is constantly using over 80mb of ram which is tough to stomach when we only have a small amount to work with.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Yeah this is definitely not made for this phone
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Not when it's cracked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] joefx13:
Just downloaded it. Pretty clean!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] BrokenMemory:
To put this on your device do u use cwr?
[Verizon Droid Charge] scotttr:
it should be an .apk
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I just tried this. It's ok but the ram usage is (obviously) too much. I applied hard to kill launcher (v6) and then angry birds took about 3 minutes to load. It also destroys the battery.

[Verizon Droid Charge] khalilcr:
How to crack it

15 dollars is stupid - Does not have any features to it, looks good but that is it ....

Pros: Looks good, it is smooth

Cons: No folders on app drawer, no hiding apps on app drawer, little customization.

Ok seriously what is your problem. I understand you are trying to raise post count but necroing spamming useless info and making pointless topics? Also Warez aren't allowed here.

Not trying to raise post count ....

Look again, all I've done was post on general forum, and what is the point to having many posts?

Also, $15 bucks for a launcher is ridiculous! Specially because all SPB Shell is cute nothing else... Plus Lucky Patcher will work on it untill reboot, so it's only buying a trial anyhow .....

Every time i try to update the theme on MIUI i keep getting "New font library may cause some apps to display incorrectly. reboot to fix this issue", when I hit ok sometimes it says applied successfully. However when I reboot nothing happens at all, its the standard theme and thats that. I've re wiped and formatted everything and reinstalled and still nothing. Can somebody help me out with this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Try creating a "theme" folder under data/system with rootexplorer, so it should read data/system/theme.

So i have no system folder anywhere....i went under data and created a folder called theme and still nothing...same problem
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
It's not on the SD card or internal storage, it's on the phone itself. You have to use an app like Root Explorer to browse your phone's file system.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
Managed to get deezer working as an orange swap able on my nexus. This gives me a premium account and therefore the ability to download tracks for offline listening. Very impressed so far. Music choice seems varied but bear in mind I'm 40 so my tastes might not be everyone's ....

The android app seems a little clunky and I can't see any way to play downloaded tracks in any other app.... has anyone managed this???

To get the swap able working use dolphin browser and convince it you are on a GS2. Will post the string later if anyone is interested ......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjward23:
I've been very impressed with the deezer service.

I to looked for a way to play offline music in another app. My guess is the deezer app caches the files in an unreadable format. Similar to how google music does. There is an app available now that is able to convert cached files from google music into a readable format and let you play them in another music application. I doubt it would work with deezer. But someone could release something similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
Struggling to understand how the "my mp3s" bit works. It doesn't seem to find existing music on my phone and half the instructions are in french :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjward23:
it didnt find any of my music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I have a question for you guys. Can you play songs on the Deezer website? I'm getting really frustrated with how it changes all the time!

At first I couldn't, then it started working for a few weeks. Then it stopped working again for a couple of weeks. And then since then I've been using the Deezer website for unlimited music for ages. At least I think that's how it's been, basically it's been on and off!

Now today I went to play music and it had put me on to a free account and I had to activate my Orange subscription (for like the 3rd time now, does it do this every month or something?!), and now I can't listen to music on the website. It's killing me because I use it allll the time on my laptop!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinnlosvoll:
if it is still actual:

i've been looking into the files deezer stores lately and found out:

they are mp3s!

they just hash them before they save them and then somehow decode them when it's playing.

if someone is interrested to know more about it and understands java quite good let me know and i'll hook you up with the info you need :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gurry:
I'd be interested in finding out how to save the hashed MP3. There are quite a few albums on there I've downloaded and as I swap my phone regular but the limit on freezer mobile devices is two.

Is there anyway to take an app(Footprints) from a droid incredible or dinc 2 and run them on a Droid Bionic? I have played with rooting and ROMS, but with school and everything else going on, I just haven't had time to research it. If not, can anyone suggest a similar app for the Bionic. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
don't think that is possible the htc apps are made to run only on htc phones like footprints and teeter i am sure it could be tampered with to work but i am sure it is a lot more work than it is is work and i am not sure about related apps to that google it?? there for a reason ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ErisDroid?:
I just did a google search for footprints.apk and found a site where you may be able to download it.

Just remeber that you do this at your own risk. I also don't condone piracy so make sure this isn't a paid app.

I had found the apk download, but was nervous about issues caused by it being an HTC app. Thanks for the advice. Was hoping someone else may have already done this. Guess I'll break down and do the research. Thanks again
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
as fa i now x8/w8 those 11w38++ cant unlock bootloader...which saddens ..so will there be a way for us newer x8 users to unlock BL? or are we doomed? why cant we unlock BL? and lastly..why does my phone says SD card corrupted every now and then? it calls me to fornmat it and after i do it comes back a day or 2 later...i send my phone to service and got my phone back yesterday and the same problem happened...is this hardware or software prolblem?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
sorry for typos my keybaord is a little buggy
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
11W29+

I hope you can now see it ... though it's been written for countless times now already.

Has also already been written for countless times ...

The phones manufactured at 11W29 and later got a newer revision of the chips being used in the phone that have the security hole the boot loader unlock exploits CLOSED! (hence the reason why the phone "dies" upon restart though the boot loader unlock seems to have went fine)

Looking that what the_laser wrote it seems that this makes it virtually impossible to unlock the phones through some software exploit (unless there's still a security hole they missed out on - though that means someone needs to discover a alternative approach first and develop a way to make use of it and write the corresponding software). Unlikely to happen - the W8 and X8 are already past their heydays.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
aww man...thanks again BJ! it's sad why SE have to change the secuirty...whats the point??
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
You need to see the "problem" on a broader scale...

The X8/W8/Mini/Mini Pro aren't the only devices making use of the MSM7227 CPU, there are a whole bunch of devices from other manufacturers out there which use the same same CPU package for their devices.

Now, Qualcomm (Turkish company, also known for the "Atheros" WiFi/LAN chips) is only a OEM manufacturer, meaning they just produce the CPU (and whatever chips else) and ship them to the production line of the manufacturer (i.e. Sony Ericsson) en masse (we're talking about quanities here that are best measured in container shipments).

Since the MSM722x ARMv6 CPUs are still used in the production of low-end/cheapo Android devices (and other embedded systems) it's only logical that engineers are still ironing out bugs in the silicon of the chips (==newer hardware revision of the chip in question).

Like I wrote above ... you need to look at it on a broader scale.

On a related note - the same thing is happening with Desktop CPUs from AMD or Intel ... they find a bug in the silicon of the chip and if it's severe enough (read: can't be fixed/worked-around through a BIOS update or software patch) they will push out newer CPUs with a newer "stepping".

A good example would be the 1st gen Sandy Bridge chipsets where a faulty designed transistor in the chipset rendered the 3rd through 6th SATA ports defunct way ahead of time (we are talking about months instead of years) - or the early Phenom II X4 CPUs that had a severe design flaw in the branch prediction unit making them either crash or spit out wrong results.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Yeah, the chips has that security hole, that the 11W29- can use to unlock the bootloader. The newer version doas not have that. So literaly the hardware is in way.

Can't say sure that it will be impossible in the future, but given the fact, that these phones are out of the league (means old) I don't think anyone will have energy to find a new way to unlock newer hwrev chipped x8s, because there are less of them than the "old" ones (and less means much much less).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
wow..thanks for enlightning me ...these techy stuff are so out of my league ..oh ya BJ are you a technician?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Well, as you can read in the "How old are you" thread I'm already 40 years old (no, that's no joke) - so I had quite a few jobs.

But, yes ... I once started out as a service technician in a computer shop (assembly and servicing).

Nowadays I run my own business; servicing of computer systems, server installation/deployment/maintenance, network planning, installation (as in pulling cables and related stuff), maintenance, upgrade.

Apart from that I'm also doing some C++/C# related software development.

When it comes down to smart phones/tablets I still lack some knowledge, but I'm trying hard to catch up and increase knowledge.

[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
Hey guys I'm running the alpha 15 of CM9 and was wondering if there was a way to change default storage. On cm7 I used the ext SD card as my default storage and noticed there is no setting in CM9 like in CM7 that allows you to change default storage. Any way to do this? Also I know others running a stock ROM rooted would like to know if there us a way too. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] jmorse:
I'm thinking that is something you might have to set in any app that uses the sd card. Seems like it would make more sense to have it done in phone settings though.
