[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterum:
I have a problem with humbertOS' RC0 of CM9 or rather with his gapps zip...

I followed the instructions and did a factory reset and wiped everything (cache, dalvik). after that i installed the newest build (CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120202) via CWM, didn't reboot and also flashed the kernel for my model (P1000) and flashed the gapps zip right after that and then i finally rebooted the tab...

everything works fine, wait..not everything:

the gapps dont show up...no market, no gmail etc... also it seems that i dont have CWM anymore, since i cant boot into it. but that seems to be normal from what i've read...

so i cant flash the gApps zip again...is there any other way to install it?

i did the whole procedure (installing froyo and the overcome kernel, wipeing everything and flashing humbertOS' files) 4 or 5 times already, but no luck :(

any1 xperiencing the same? any solutions that i'm not aware of?

i wouldve posted this in the original thread in the dev forum, but i'm not allowed to bc of my 0 posts...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got556:
I have a Sprint Galaxy Tab and running JT's ICS build but try this.

Get to CWM, wipe everything, flash the rom. Then mount /system. Then flash GAPPS.

Should work then.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterum:
works like a charm :) thx!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
that is not CM9 + Gapps problem.

That is CM9 for SGT in general and we all know that.

Currently running the EOS 4g nightly. I am having alot of problems with laggy scrolling and screen performance with games and the browser. I tried installing the Franco kernel also, but hasn;t made a difference.

Is there a tool that will allow me to change teh GPU settings? I have setCPU and do not see any GPU mods available.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
I'm not aware of any apps that will do what you're looking for. I was getting random screen corruption with the gpu oc kernels so I recompiled the kernel without overclock. Unless someone knows a way to do it, you might have to compile a kernel with the gpu options you want.

Hi,

I extracted several executables (EXEs and DLLs) from the firmware image of a WinCE6 device.

In addition to that, I also build my own WinCE6 image with VS2005 that is running in the Device Emulator.

Now, what I'm planning to do is copy some of the extracted executable files to my emulator image and run them there.

For instance, it already worked to copy the "zlib.dll" to the emulated image and then load it with some customly written code.

However, this only works for a few DLLs. Most of them just crash.

I believe this is because of the memory mapping.

As you might know, WinCE6 has its own address space for shared libraries.

Typically they are loaded to the 0x40000000 region whereas libraries that are not shared are loaded to the address space of the application itself (i.e. 0x100000000 region).

While the DLLs from my own image mostly map to the 0x100000000 region, most of the extracted DLLs are loaded to the shared memory region which seems to cause problems.

Initially, the extracted zlib.dll did not work in the emulator image either.

However, increasing the RAM size of the emulator image did the trick.

Yet, the emulator supports at most 256MB of RAM. So further increasing the RAM size for DLLs that do not work yet is not an option.

Did anyone else try to run extracted binaries in an emulator environment ?

My ultimate goal is to run these extracted executables inside my emulated environment, so that I can debug and reverse engineer the code.

Is it possible to change the memory mapping of a DLL so that, instead of being loaded to the 0x40000000 shared region, it is loaded to the process space ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephj:
There is a nifty freeware PE editor called CFF Explorer currently version VII.

http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php

One of the options under the Rebuilder tab is to change the Image Base of an object and rebuild it.

Make sure you are only doing this to a copy of your DLL. It's a long shot but it may work.

Good Luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] knossos2:
Hi,

cool, thanks !

I just tried it, but unfortunately the "New Image Base" functionality is greyed out.

I guess it's because the DLL I'm trying to change is not for x86_32/x86_64, but for the ARM platform.

Do you also debug WinCE stuff ?

I'm currently trying to get IDA Pro working with WinCE.

It seems to have debug support through ActiveSync.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephj:
The 5x5 and Life programs listed in my signature both have a separate CE version, but they were ported over to CE after I had shaken all the bugs out of the WinMo version in the WinMo Emulator and on the device itself.

The CE versions were only tested on the CE emulator, and given a quick spin round the block to make sure it all works. I do not have a 'real' CE device to test them on.

I have a copy of IDA Pro, but is only the freeware version, not the full blown paid-for versions. I don't know whether the free version has full CE debug support, I'll have to have a try sometime.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Testing in CE-Emulator is not enough at all

Probably these CE-Emulator tests were not enough at all, because for example your SUDOKU does NOT work properly on my 800x480px sized unit based on CE 6.0 Professional. FileDialogs not populated, etc pp

Do not worry, I mainly are playing flash games, IMHO the better type of gaming applications ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephj:
Only 5x5 and Life have versions specifically built ising the Windows CE SDK.

The others don't, as they were built using the Windows Mobile SDK.

Is it really surprising that it looks crap or doesn't work properly, if you try and run it under the wrong platform?

Likewise, CE versions look crap when run under Windows Mobile.

Like I said earlier try kid mode from the market. It's kind of a launcher in a way. You set it up so that your kid only has access to certain apps. They can't make calls can't even run the browser unless you allow it. I have it on my phone and I love it.

I was just looking for exactly that. For those that are wondering why a kid would need a smartphone etc., it's not the point. They wouldn't be using it as a smartphone. I have an old SGS1 that I don't see why I couldn't repurpose as a media-player device + for my daughter. An ipod would do the trick but 1) this thing would kick the pants off any ipod I've seen so far capabilities wise (16GB built in, microSD slot up to 32GB, bigger higher resolution screen, play whatever media format you put in it, etc.) and with voodoo sound even the sound quality is better, 2) it's not made by Apple, and 3) I've already got it. I will try the kid mode launcher another poster mentioned below but I think there could be a market for this judging by the amount of kiddie tablets etc. that are on the market now and way cheaper if you already have a device or can pick one up used. Will post back after trying the kid mode deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itsfredo:
Sounds interesting. Maybe one that is baby proof. So that they can't mess things up like send unwanted messages or delete stuff or make calls. Not so I don't have to watch them but so that I don't have to keep taking it from them
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Nova will accomplish all this stuff, or other apps. You just hide apps you don't want them using. Like market, system apps... Etc. The only issue would be browser. But I'm sure that could be dealt with also. And yeah.... If they are sharing the parents phone... What good would a safety rom be when I need my phone. And if it's their phone... It's simple to kid proof. My 5 year old has an s2 we didn't need anymore. It has Netflix, some games, some videos on it.... And just about every thing else is hidden. Never had an issue with her getting into things she shouldn't. As far as games that can lead you to market and purchases.... There's a password for purchases and generally I just get rid of those games.

Anyway.... No, the kids rom would never be made.... But really, once you kid proof your device... That's basically what you have. So there's no point.

A quick look at the build.prop indicates its for the Nexus S... Oh well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] BeardedB:
I dont know if it means anything but I found Roboto fonts in the zip!

Oh well, I got the (status 6) error also. I was hoping this was it since leech said they were pushing ports ASAP. Maybe next one, huh.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
It's ICS based MIUI, so it would have those, it's just not for our phone.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Why the heck would they put it under our device then?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
it does not work

I did a full factory wipe/resent and phone.android keeps crashing. :-(

EDIT: I downloaded the one right above it, the 2.10.2 or what ever it was but it was the vivow one for our phone. Its just above the NS one. However like I said, it does not work, phone.andriod constantly crashed. I also tried flashing it over my working MIUI GB setup and same. No go.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
It's a known issue. Every release after 1.12.9 has been broken. Stick to 1.12.9 or before.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
Thanks

Thanks Chris. When I nand back to MIUI that is my set up, 1.12.9. But I have been running Touchpro's Beta 3 ICS and its great. The only thing is the front cam does not work but I canlive with out that for now. Its really a great ROM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
Yea, I've tried all the ICS Rom's, and they're great. Can't wait to be able to stick with one, but I have a 2 1/2 year old son, and I can't give up the video camera so I can record his continual antics! All in good time though, I've been amazed at how quickly they've progressed otherwise. All the latest versions seem pretty bug free beside the few known issues.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
I'm actually getting the same exact problem on this version and the GB-based version...even after doing a full data/cache wipe and re-installing. I love MIUI, but I'm afraid my phone just does not like it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
you will need to wipe /system partition and do a factory reset. Afterwards, i don't think your have any issues restoring a backup in recovery. When restoring a backup, I always wipe every partiton (except sdcard) and wipe data/reset.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xclusive585:
Ill try to keep this question as neat and tidy as possible. I am asking because this is just barely out of my scope of knowledge.

In linux OS's you can create hardlinks and softlinks (symlinks) in any directory that point to one specific file without that file actually existing in duplicate and taking up more space.

I was wondering if through a command line android environment (on rooted device of course) is it possible to move files to another location or drive (external SD) and trick the OS into thinking things are in place by using either hard or soft links? And if yes that could work, is this how titanium backup works?

Thanks for the info, just trying to further my knowledge base.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snakeforhire:
Of course, Android is a Linux OS pretty much like every other, as far as the filesystem goes anyway. It's the same EXT4 that's used on workstations, with the same features and limitations. "ln -s" and "ln" work just the same (depending on whether your busybox is correctly built or not, but that's another issue).

But that's rather how abn app like Link2SD works. Titanium backs up the .apk files plus a .tar file containing the settings of the app (contained in the /data/data directory).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xclusive585:
Titanium backup is also used on rooted phones to "move" apps to SD. I'm kinda curious about how it does that. Thanks for that app suggestion, seems like a nice clean way to do some things. And thanks for the input too.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snakeforhire:
Titanium and Link2SD work in pretty much the same way : they move the .apk of the app from /data/app to the SD, the data from /data/data and make a few symlinks (plus a few other things, like the dalvik cache contents) to make the OS think they're still in the same place, there's not much more to it than this :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xclusive585:
Awesome input. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

So with a little research I may play with attempting to move some things around if I can learn about the dalvik machine a little more. And my friends used to shake their head at my tinkering with Linux..... lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snakeforhire:
yeah, I get the same look from my dumbwit work colleagues.. :D

They don't understand what we all know.. ^^ They even banned me from having my phone on my desk, fanatic fools...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gee2012:
Just read on Chainfire`s twitter site https://twitter.com/#!/ChainfireXDA that in the ICS leaks for the S2 there is a failsafe build in that could prevent apps to install secured from the sdcard if a custom kernel is being used instead of a samsung kernel.

Hope they don`t follow HTC and you might have to request to unlock the device and thus voiding warrantee.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
I sure hope not, but I believe that would be illegal in the EU.

i pray not... just started to enjoy android :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Wouldn't be illegal if they never intended to distribute it in that state.

Would be an interesting way to try and control the leaks, if that's what they want to do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Would also be an interesting way if losing customers. Even HTC realize that they have to unlock their devices after failing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Richy99:
how would they lose customers, im sure out of the users who have samsung devices 80%+ have no interest in rooting or flashing custom roms to their handsets
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joshnichols189:
Try 95%.. most people don't understand how small the rooting community is in the grand scheme of things
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
If it's so small then why did HTC have to offer unlocked bootloaders after locking them down for a period? Obviously it did have a tangible economic impact. Samsung will notice the same if they are as stupid as the first post indicates.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Richy99:
no it wasnt from lack of purchases it was because people got pissy about it and petitioned against a locked boot loader

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jscurtu:
Its not about how many unlock, but about those that do, they have the power.. Because we are nerds.

Consumers ask hackers/nerds what they should buy or what is good. And if they lock, hell no dont buy that!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
I find an increasing number of people asking about 'unlocking' android phones (that does not mean unlocking from carrier in this case, just the word used). I would guess this is because of increasing use of android. People tend to ask me because I develop software so 'must know something about it' (I know far less than most here, of course :)).

Once they realise the crap that most mobile operators force on them that make their phones buggy and laggy, they want to kill all the bloatware and spyware. Once they realise they cannot without a bit of effort and risk, they get quite annoyed, and justifiably so.

I expect the desire to root phones growing, as a %age, and quite quickly too. As it becomes easier and easier (even I can do it), it will become very common. Hopefully it will also become acceptable by the manufacturers to want to have admin rights to you phone, just as we are legitimately allowed, and have has standard, on our computers.

I suspect strongly that custom ROMs will always void all support agreements and warranty, however. That seems reasonable for flashing, but NOT for rooting.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bnapalm:
Why not for rooting? Of course, most people here know (more or less) what they are doing, but many are quite uneducated in technical matters or just plain stupid. Seeing as rooting allows you to have full control over your phone, and as many people just click "yes" to any prompt without even reading the message, I can see how someone without enough knowledge could easily mess up their rooted phone and then run to the service yelling they have bought a defective phone.

What I think is unfair is that if you have increased your binary counter (or have other signs you've been messing with your phone), your phone won't be taken for warranty service, although almost always you can find out if it's a software problem (in which case the user might be to blame) or a hardware fault which clearly doesn't have anything to do with software. (There could be some exceptions though)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
Because it is exactly the same as having Admin rights on your computer. No more, no less.

Dell still give me a warranty even if I have, and indeed use, Admin rights. I can install anything I like.

If I choose to install Linux on my laptop, they will not support that. I regard that as akin to a custom ROM. The difference here is that Dell would probably support hardware failures even if I install Linux (not certain), whereas flashing a custom ROM would probably void hardware warranties (not certain).

I have to root the phone in order to install a firewall. How could you expect any reasonably security-conscious organisation NOT to insist on a firewall for employees' phones, for example :eek:?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] graemeg:
Whatever the argument, locking bootloaders has been common practice for some for quite a while, SE especially, it was announced on the s2 ages ago what the intentions were, but i take offence at your comment, you insinuate that the average XDA MEMBER is stupid or technologically un-educated, i find that comment very unfair to all members, are you saying because were not developers and arent in the big bang theory that were all dumb?

install stock firmware and it will remove the root and cwm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bnapalm:
I'm sorry if I offended you, but that was not at all what I was trying to say. What I was trying to say was that most people here (XDA members) ARE actually more than knowledgable enough not to mess up their phones with root. When I said that many people are not technologically knowledgeable, I meant an average person who just happened to hear that rooting your phone was cool, and rooted it (or got someone else to root it for him) without even fully understanding what it meant.

Again, sorry if my post was offensive, it was not intended as such.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
That is the way I read it too. The fact is that half of Joe Public has an IQ of 100 or less. A lot of those people are using Android phones right now, and probably should NOT be allowed admin access to their phone, for their own safety!

You were in no way offensive. Everything you said was pretty much bang on.
