Come on stevemp try to give a look to this ROM of lefeudedieu.

He just follow a Froyo ROM to create it.

There is lots to learn on it specially when he touched design aspects.

To make your enthusiasm I'll give you a little clue of my fabulous Laboratory.

Key master is a file comparison utility that let me check in details the ROM completely open.

In Windows is called Winmerge. No idea of Linux.

Thanks for your wishes!!

First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone for the hard and wonderful work you are doing with their custom roms.

I found some problems with all the roms I've tried gingerbread and supercharger:br

non-based TTS service can be used. You go to the corresponding option and gives error.

In some google services (official apps for gmail and google reader) I've tried have a problem in common; for example with the gmail app once you enter to display a message when they spend a couple of seconds you back to the Inbox (something similar happens with the google reader)

thank you for everything and... mood!

How "the F-F-F" To make a cramfs RW

Hello everybody

I have been reading and searching and more reading but, yes I know---TRY AGAIN----:confused:

----I DID

But, I am not able to find anywhere, how to make a RO cramfs to a RW cramfs.

Would you mind explaining to me (us) how to do it?

For Dummies, step by step, for very, very dummies.....

I apreciate it, thank you very much.:D

I am expecting your news
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dicabkl:
Have a nice vacation DaremoS!

I am waiting for the HC porting, already we got it very far - actually you :D - with our tablets. I`ve moved on a very fast one, but will keep checking this thread for news.

3. - I tried Zarko`s rom, good and fast, but not comparing with the last version from here. Also, the same problem with wifi -keeps connecting/disconecting - no solution found, even if I tried some scripts and some parameter modification (they said something about wpa_supplicant.conf).

Have fun!

Hi. Somebody can tell me if will it work on Arnova 84 tablet (Rockchip 2818, 8.4 inches, 4 GB) and wich rom ?

THX

EDIT :

I have flashed Nerd Edition and it seems working all, wifi, screen, sound etc...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
All roms could works more or less, but you have to change stock rom base. This means, take out kernel,misc and recovery from the rom. Use instead stock kernel, misc and recovery from original arnova.

Jdfense

Edit:

I have tested the arnova 84 stock rom kernel with my odys genesis and it works without problem. In this case you can try the odys genesis rom versions, without changing something. Maybe you get a working rom.

Scripting :( :P Learned hard way lol...

if we put following lines in rc file:

service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

disabled

oneshot

it looks in the folder /system/etc/init.d and if there are any scripts in there... it runs it on each boot :D

have fun :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
First you will need the file aufs.ko, make a directory modules in boot.img and place the file there.

Second make a file your_script.sh (can be any name you choose) in boot.img.

your_script.sh

insmod /modules/aufs.ko

busybox mkdir -p /data/sysrw

busybox mount -t aufs -o br=/data/sysrw=rw:/system=ro none /system

Third add lines in init.rc, add the end is the best place.

init.rc

service script /script.sh

oneshot

user root

You have to build a rom for your hardware. Start here (Xubuntu desktp amd64 11.10 is what I ended up using) http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html , then start writing code. :D Good way to lose friends and wife.

Hopefully soon I can get to compile a kernel for rk2818.

Un saludo! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:
nice :D keep in touch Jostey :D

Some Questions for anyone who can answer:

What would we need to port HoneyComb on our devices ? :D

Can it be put on cramFS ? :D

Can we just use some HoneyComb update.zip and make a cramfs system image from it ? (i tried this btw, failing miserably :D )

Do we need new kernel to make HoneyComb work ? :D

Where can we get the config.gz (usually in /proc/config.gz) file for our tablets ? :D

try cat /proc/kmsg to see errors in rc files (another kind of logcat lol) - clears on each boot

adb shell cat /proc/kmsg >> "C:\Android\RKcooking\staruplog.txt"

this file can tell you what keys you are pressing on the tablet :D (finally i figured it out lol)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
First we have now a lack of italian with Jostey's link.:p Or the fantastic google chrome.

Second I think you can save the files you want in cramfs rom

Third we need rockship drivers for honeycomb or someone can adapt to old eclair drivers.

Our .25 kernel don't fit for honeycomb. I believe we need a .36 kernel adapted to Rockship rk2818 hardware

This all is a dev job. Maybe parts of a rom from a honeycomb for rk2918 would help.

Another problem is the small internal memory and weak speed.

Better we step further to another cheapo, by example to the Arnova 9 G2 with rk2918 or ainol novo 7 elf with a very fast processor and ICS.:cool:

Or we stay with our old not supported cheapos.:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jostey:
Thanks for the information! :)

There are many questions unanswered right now (relative to HC or iCS) ... With that I can not help hahaha, sorry.

Un saludo a todos! :D

Time For New Tablet

You are right, best way is Arnova 9 G2 (already rooted and read write) if you want to stay with Rockchip. If you want to learn about compiling kernel and CyanogenMod ICS get Nook Color, source code and tutorials are available, great devs willing to teach are dalingrin and fattire. Best tablet is Transformer Prime for Honeycomb/ICS, your choice, I am thinking of Arnova 9 G2 because of price and Gingerbread is good enough for me. Keep Next3 for playing with of course. :D

stevemp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Wait a month or two before you buy. Archos has official announced ICS for Arnova 9 G2 and maybe they change there tablet memory from 512 to 1GB. The RAM size is not to see on the home page or I'm too stupid.

There is a lot of statements around, but better we wait on official.

Here is the rooted rom and that is important, because arnova offers so fare no stock rom. We know that problem from nextbook, with special never ending announcement support.

Google apps on 2.3.7: ¿Working?

Hello

I have a BQ Darwin, It´s Next3 alike, I think....

I have been trying some 2.3.7 from Post#1, and Any of them work fine with google apps such gmail or Reader, at least on my tablet.

I would like to know if they are working on yours.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
I asked myself, where did stevemp got this ROM? On the Prestigio site I didn't find it and the built date must be wrong, because in August where no froyo 3.04 released, so fare as I remember of course. Donald made the 3.02 beta, then he disappeared shortly before the 3.04beta.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
This is a bq voltaire rom and it looks like that it works on archos reader 70b too. I have no next2, but Adam Outler a experienced member of xda mention it. Some other next 2 user have confirmed that the rom work, but there is still a risk with flashing, because there is no working stock rom of the next 2 around here to get back to the original.:eek::rolleyes:

At all visitors:

If someone has stock rom of the next 2 as image file please release it here. kernel.img, misc.img and recovery.img would be enough too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
This has a stock 2.1 ROM. I know Adams work well as he is a captivate user like myself. Tell me how to dump the ROM and i will be happy to upload it.

From the Prestigio site, it was only up for a few days and then taken down, I used to download everything (still do);) Maybe the fact that it was released with su and aufs.ko had something to do with his disappearance.:D Just looked at it today because I was moving everything to new hard drive. I still have most of the roms posted on Prestigio and the old thread. Must have had more than thirty roms saved, yeah I know about being a pack rat.:D Anyway, glad I did when megaupload went dark.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Thats fine, maybe we could use your archive.:D From now on your name is »Steve the archive«:o

I have a lot of those old roms too, but searching for them is a hell of bad job.;)

When this 3.04 rom is really from Donald, this could be the last and nearly secret treasure of Donald. I like that tought. I will test it soon. How is your impression about that last rom?

Btw that 3.04beta rom was unstable on my genesis, there has someone else done a weak job for Prestigio.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
I'm not shure what you need for flashing, because your next 2 is maybe a rk2808 and not a rk2818, very similar but not the same, when it comes up to the drivers.

try installing the rkcooking guide by me... from the first post

put device in fastboot mode .... by turning the device off then holding down and power keys and plugin to the pc...

at the end of the pdf you will see flashing istruction... start from 18 d

for some i think the most difficult thing to do is getting the device in correct mode to flash...

But last 100% working was one of Donald roms.

From new roms - froyo not mounting sd card

-gingerbread is not playing games in full screen etc.

150 pages with old thread and result 35% at best. Come back Donald...

But you have funny times, nothing against it, but you have long distance to average developer.

froyo - mounting sd card to pc or in just in your device? :S

gingerbread - not playing games??? what device do you have?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevemp:
Next3 rom is built for the motherboard in our tablets, so it works the best. When you compile a rom the kernel is built for the hardware on the motherboard and the system is compiled for the kernel. When you use a kernel from another company it won't play games very well. People who don't understand that then blame us for games not working. I used to say my roms are for reading, music, and videos only, no games. That way they know not to download if they want to play games.

stevemp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JDfense:
Thanks stevemp, that is the point.

And what game do you want to play with rk2818? Angry birds in slow motion?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] surfer63:
Hi, you screen goes "on black" because you call a double shell.

service install /system/bin/sh /system/bin/install.sh

The /system/bin/sh will open a shell and then the install.sh will call it's own shell (#!/system/bin/sh) on top of that. That pushes the bootanimation to the background.

If your install.sh has its executable bit set you don't need that (and you have currently set it to 6775).

Please try with:

service install /system/bin/install.sh

and your bootanimation will remain visible.

Edit:

To explain it a little more: Earlier in the init.rc the following is done:

service console /system/bin/sh

No need to call for another empty console which runs a script.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heart_crafter:

The install.sh script in the Dare_SpecialEdition.v1.img and the DareSuperChargeSMP.img can be optimized to look in a flexible way for the available apks in /system/install and simply copy every apk to /data/app using the same checks. In this case you don't have to adapt the script each time you change the number and kind (names) of apks in the /system/install folder.

#!/bin/sh
busybox chmod 777 data/app
for i in /system/install/*.apk;
do
apkonly=`busybox basename $i`
if [ ! -f "/data/app/$apkonly" ];
then
busybox cp $i /data/app
