[General Questions and Answers] Tonto86:
I was wondering what I would need hardware wise to write roms, kernels, etc. I know I need a computer, so we can skip sarcasm. I'd like to start small and work into big boy pants. Any suggestions and advice is appreciated. Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
None (usually) really writes roms or kernels.

People take existing ones and modify them.

So start by disecting an existing rom and learn where what is and what it does.

Can some one port over the Blur ICS Dialer, I really liked the look, and the contacts too. In fact can ICS BLUR be ported, I saw a post in the OG EVO thread that they ported over GB Blur. :D Please, it's just so Sexy. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Ckao:
It can't ported as of yet...early March I heard...
[HTC EVO 3D] markavellie:
It's not quite what you're looking for, but exDialer has a nice ICS theme.

Search the market for exDialer ICS. XDA won't let me post links.

When I rooted ,I backup and delete some some flexT9 input file, then I find out I can not recive SMS after root .

So I unroot ,now I get OTA update but it's says error about I miss some flexT9 file.I can not restore file without root.

Now I can never root again ,and I can not even UPDATE OTA because system fille ar change.

What can I do NOW ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Sporty883:
Just make a full restore, root, ota rootkeeper, backup, temp unroot, OTA, re-root with OTA-Rootkeeper, install your apps.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] feskey:
I try restore, but sitll the same,I can't root...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JA.de:
Do you use OTA RootKeeper to unroot?

If so, you have a su-backup in /system which you an use to get the full root back.

Even when RootKeeper fails to restore, you an do in the shell.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wtraco:
I do found the su-backup in /system.

How to get it back? How to do in the shell? I am new on Android. Thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JA.de:
Download the zip which works before OTA2

Extract it to /sdcard/Download

Install Termial Emulator Form market ("Android Terminal Emulator", ConnectBot or so)

Start it and type: /system/su-backup

Prompt change to #

Type:

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm /system/xbin/su

rm /system/bin/su

dd if=/system/su-backup of=/system/xbin/su

ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su

chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

rm /system/xbin/busybox

dd if=/sdcard/Download/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox

chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox

/system/xbin/busybox --install /system/xbin/

dd if=/sdcard/Download/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

mount -o ro,remount /system

exit

exit

Terminate the Emulator.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] krister461:
I have some trouble with rerooting. I've just done the following:

Rooted the TPT

Installed RootKeeper

Backup up root

Temp unroot

Installed OTA2

Tried to reroot - no success

RootKeeper says "filesystem supports root protection" and "protected su copy available"​

When clicking Restore root it says "root su restored", but the checklist still says its not rooted (titanium backup says the same)​

Installed superuser from market

Tried to reroot again - still no success

Installed Terminal Emulator

Wrote /system/su-backup - and received "Permission denied"

Wrote mount -o rw,remount /system - and received "mount: Operation not permitted"

Any suggestions on how to get root back? :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JA.de:
@krister461:

Just do what I have written.

You must have /system/su-backup, I think.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] krister461:
I did try, see step 9-11.

I do have /system/su-backup, but I get permission denied when trying to use it from the terminal window.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JA.de:
type:

cd /system

ls -l su-backup

Owner should be: root

Group should be: root

Permissions have to be: rwsr-sr-w

If so - all is good and you have made a mistake.

If Not - :-(
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
Following your instructions, my screen says:

-rwsr-sr-x root root

and then mentions the Rootkeeper backup and it's size.

Am I okay?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] krister461:
Mine says the same.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JA.de:
Sorry for the w at the last character of the Permissions.

My fault. You are right. The x is correct.

I made another mistake.

Type cd /system before /system/su-backup

/system is not in PATH.

Good luck.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
So our permissions are correct? We are okay? I'm sorry, just new to root and adb. Thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JA.de:
Yes all is okay. Only you have to start with

cd /system

in the shell. That's all.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] krister461:
I still get permission denied :-S
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JA.de:
Just checked: cd /system is not necessary.

/system/su-backup gives you root (and

the #-prompt).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JA.de:
@krister461:

Did you type "/system/su-backup"?

The shell is case sensitive.

Is filesize the same as the su in the

zipfile?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] JA.de:
Maybe your terminal emulator did not work properly.

The two that I mentioned are okay.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] krister461:
I am using Android Terminal Emulator, and writing it correctly. If I misspell it it says "not found".

Thanks for your help so far though :-)
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I've tried downloading stuff from the stock browser and other browsers and when I go into my downloads on my phone the file is corrupt. I even checked to see if it was the program by trying to open it on my computer and I got the same result. Does anybody know anything about this or anything?
[LG Revolution] keynith:
Where is your download location? I'm not totally sure why unless whatever your downloading isn't compatible with your phone.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
The normal download location. Haven't changed it at all. Also, I'm just download a zip file it seems to happen with every file I try.
[LG Revolution] rocknrolla818:
If the same file is not working on your computer then wouldn't it be the file or did I miss understand your question and statement
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
The file works on my computer if I download it on my computer. If I download it on my phone then try to open with an app or through usb on my computer it says the file is corrupt. So pretty much saying if I download from phone it's corrupt, download from computer it's fine.
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
Which other browsers have you tried? I recommend the dolphin browser if you haven't already tried it.
[LG Revolution] rocknrolla818:
What kind of file is it what are you trying to do
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I'm actually using Dolphin Browser. Every other file works fine but .zip files it seems. And the files I tried where Pokemon roms (trying to relieve childhood). But I know the files work since a couple of my friends have downloaded them from their phones and unzipped them on their phones. But my one friend he had a different situation where his would download as a .bin file when it's a .zip file.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
UOT Kitchen states "you can now use kitchen with stock odexed roms (if you have .odex files in your rom - kitchen works for you too)". I'm running the stock OTA 2.3.6 ROM (odexed), rooted, with 3e Recovery on my SR. Trying to create a very simple battery icon and status bar mod using the Kitchen. Instructions say to upload your ROM's "framework-res.apk" and "systemUI.apk" files along with your theme changes... and Kitchen creates a cooked-up zip file you can flash. But have a few questions:

1) since it says it now supports odexed ROMs, do I also need to upload the "systemUI.odex" file along with "systemUI.apk" and "framework-res.apk files?

2) does the cooked up zip file contain "framework-res.apk", "systemUI.apk" and "systemUI.odex" files... or just the 2 apk files?

3) if only the apks, do I leave my original "systemUI.odex in /data/app folder... or move/delete it?

4) without CWM, can I extract the needed apks from the zip file created by the Kitchen and use Root Explorer to fix permissions and place files in their appropriate folders?

I posted these questions on the UOT Kitchen site, but they must be backed up as have not received any reply... hoping someone here on the SR Forum may have some experience with the UOT Kitchen and using odexed ROMs. Thx!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pahick:
1. You need SystemUI.apk from /system/app, framework-res.apk from /system/framework, and twframework-res.apk from /system/framework

2.it will contain updates to framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and systemui.apk and might add to the system/media or any other area you elect to modify

3. dont touch the odex files. they will be needed as is.

4. maybe, maybe not. I always use CWM to install. Sorry.

[HTC EVO 3D] MistakenUtopia:
I'm still frustrated.

First of all, I downloaded a splash screen from a thread, and changed the name to PG86IMG.zip and put on the root of my sd card. I turned off the phone, then power up with Power+vol dwn. And...nothing. I see something flashing by that says parsing PG86IMG.zip, but the HTC splash screen is still there. Was I doing something wrong? :o
[HTC EVO 3D] Crackanug:
As long as you have a custome recovery, flash the zip from recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
The splash screen has to be flashed threw fastboot. You can not flash a custom splash threw recovery. Try dl the zip again it might be a corrupt file. Also make sure you have fast boot unchecked in settings.

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lol

I know in some roms if you open the zip up on the computer you can find the zip file for boot animation and splash and the other splash for when you turn your phone off...

I dunno I never have done it. Worst thing that could happen would be a bootloop lol or hang... Since it's just a rom and not raidos lol..

Best way to flash when ready

is to fastboot boot recovery.img and wipe everything other then SD card and Flash rom :D

Anyway's feel free to test it lol..

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Isn't a boot animation the same thing as a splash screen just works at a different point .
[HTC EVO 3D] dastin1015:
No. A bootanimation is built into the ROM and is what is loaded once the ROM starts to boot. A splash screen is the screen seen when first booting. The splash has its own partition.

You all must be having some really nice earphones . AND I WANT ONE TOO ! currently have a Phillips SHE3580 ... and now want something nice.

Am in India and am a student so my budget would be below Rs1.5K

Preferably will purchase online (flipkart, letsbuy etc)

Currently what's on my mind -

Soundmagic pl21

Phillips she6000

Some skullcandy.

Now guys please suggest some, need to buy it before 30th March.

so you don't suggest Phillips one , I really liked their looks ;D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamandude:
Saw the file . Nice hai :) so out of soundmagic , Panasonic and the Sony ... which one do you suggest ?

For me , more the noise isolation better it is . Don't listen to really high volumes average 50% but sometimes 70 when lot of noise is there . Bass lover , not not which hurts the ear .

So now. .... btw do check soundmagic review too . :)

Well your bootloader is unlocked so either of the kernels have CWM recovery installed (xRecovery is pretty much obsolete). "craking bootloader" is legal to do this. An advantage of having Android. Most phones come these days with there bootloaders unlocked.

Saw a lot of people posting about CM9 the past month, some were hoping it is official released or supported. It won't happen until awhile more for an official update. here's an unofficial build:

I just sync and built with the vivo device tree, only changes from stock CM9:

- kernel (kaijura) - without it: no panorama, updated kernel drivers, etc

- added usb

What may be fixed later or can be done:

- merge twistedumbrella's camera code to enable camera

- add rotating keys (st.matt)
