[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapk007:
hello every one!!!! :)

i am proud owner of SGS from last one year.

no of times i flashed custom ROM and researched for info on internet

got almost all the information from this forum but still got some question.

i got the tutorial for setting up the development environment.

but still not got the satisfactory ans/tutorial/guide for android development.

i am not from programming background but still i am very much interested in android development and i know that with interest i can learn any thing.

i am very much interested in ROM development.i know it involves very much knowledge/patience/coding etc.

could anybody tell me what are the steps involved to develop for android platform so i can research and learn to do it.

help will be appreciated!!

hey,

other than searching on google for code sample/example, i refer to the following to answer some basic information: http://developer.android.com/index.html just one thing to note is...the code they provide on their website may have bugs ( i have run into a few myself as i was starting to code on android platform)...

Hi swapk007,

Setting up an android development environment is a little complicated, so instead of trying to list the steps here, I'm going to give you some advice. This is coming from someone who also started android development about a month and a half ago, so the following advice is something I'll stand by.

If you don't have a programming background, try and tinker around with some basic Java. I've gone to school for Computer Science, so I got enough Java experience that I could jump right into Android, but it is something I would recommend to others who don't have that exposure.

Next, check out Commonsware. It is a site/service/set of online books run by a guy named Mark. I purchased the books back when I started and they have been HUGELY helpful. He explains in detail how you should set up your development environment, and then walks you through the different parts of the development process. Furthermore, he does "office hour" chats once or twice a week, so if there is something extra complicated that you can't figure out you can talk with him. He is really friendly and helpful.

Once you get a handle on developing some apps, be they basic or advanced, then you'll be able to get into Rom development.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

I´m not a android developer, sometimes i do some OOP in C#, and I would suggest you should start coding some apps (games, toys etc.), maybe just for PC´s, before even start thinking about developing custom rom´s - just start reading JDE stuff and if you finaly know what your doing, you will not have to ask for thinks like "how to code ROM´s", but just start coding...

...would you start building a house, if you even didn´t know how to do a wall?

[Captivate General] scrubinator:
Almost every rom I flash ends up having the same problem: I randomly lose signal. Not the crossed out icon, but rather just no bars. This happens while sitting still and there does not seem to be any pattern to it. Some roms it would happen overnight, others it happens during the day. Some roms I can toggle airplane mode on and off to fix it, while others I need to reboot. I always end up back on stock roms because the issue renders all custom roms unusable. Does anyone know what I can do?

I'm switching to 2g only and we'll see if it holds. I'll know in a few hours.

I would be surprised if it has to do with towers, it isn't something that happens exclusively in low signal areas.

At work I have full HSUPA+ signal and it still happens, at home I barely get 3g signal and it happens there.

It happens at my girlfriend's house too and there is moderate to high HSUPA+ signal.

The problem DOES NOT persist with stock roms.

DOES NOT lose signal when data is disabled

******************UPDATE***************

even when locked to 2g only, it still loses signal.
[Captivate General] McSpammer5:
Seems to be a hardware issue. I had the same problem on my last phone (a LG-VU) and I red-necked it and stuck a small piece of wire in the phone's antenna. It worked surprisingly and I had no problems with it for the remainer of my contract. But before going to those extremes, I would flash back to stock gingerbread, and try several different ROMs and Modems.

HAve you tried falshing different modems???????
[Captivate General] Cor-master:
You might have a bad sim card. My phone was doing that last summer, and then one day I couldn't get a signal at all. Rebooting would fix it but only momentarily. I hit up an AT&T store on my lunch the next day and got my sim card swapped and lo and behold, no more problems. LOL I remember I was trying to hide my Cognition boot screen from the tech as my phone was still under warrenty at the time.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augusto.med:
Hi all. Used the search tool but couldn't find nothing similar.

My ATRIX is unlocked, rooted, running stock gingerbread. I used the automatic script for unlocking bootloader and rooting. I guess it installed Tenfar's recovery too. I installed Rom Manager some time ago, and today I have CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0. So I wanted to switch to romracer's in order to install a custom rom (maybe neutrino or wet dream, something with hdmi landscape =).

I was trying to instal romracer's recovery this morning. I'd put the .zip on my ext sdcard, but when I tried to use the "Install fom SD card" in RomManager, all I could see was the internal storage files. So I went ahead and transferred the .zip to internal storage root. Used Install from SD card again, selected the .zip. The phone rebooted, got into recovery mode.

That's when the problem came. It keeps waiting for SD card to mount, and then times out (20s). Is this sdcard trying to mount the EXT microSD? Why he needs it, since the .zip is in internal storage?

Any ideas on how to solve this? Am I doing something wrong here? Thank you very much. sorry providing so much information, thought it could be useful.

edit: additional information: I can see and use the external sd card on the phone normally. Can acces it via USB too, no problem.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nthon9:
Where exactly are you stuck? You say you managed to flash a zip and then rebooted the phone, right? So where are you now?

What filesystem is your SD card formatted in?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Boot to fastboot and flash recovery from fastboot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augusto.med:
When it reboots and automatically enters recovery, it says it cannot mount the SD card. So it doesn't actually flashes the zip, I guess. I'm where I begun.

Windows says its "FAT". Not FAT32, just FAT. Its a small (512mb) microsd card from my old phone. Should I format it? Maybe its just too small to use in this phone?

Thanks for your reply.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augusto.med:
will try that later. thanks.

no clue about what was happening to my sdcard?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nthon9:
I thought it might've been a fs issue - I had something similar recently, but it does seem more like your recovery is borked!

As that guy up there ^ said, flashing over the recovery may do the trick :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] This_dude:
Hello Forum. I would like to know how do I go about changing the battery icon in the ASOP Style v3.3.1 rom to look like the Valhalla Final battery icon? I was going to just replace the framework.apk with the new icons but the battery icon in ASOP goes in 1% increments rather then 5% like Valhalla. I would appreciate any help I can get since I'm a noob at this stuff. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JuLes' MostWanted:
download rom toolbox from market...

you can change the icons there...

there's Alot of icons to choose from

Im willing to help others...

Feel free to pm and ask a question...

*just don't flame if I get something wrong sometimes, I'm only a HUMAN NOT AN ANDROID :-D

Oh btw.. Hit thanks if I helped
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] This_dude:
Thanks for the response. I have looked at Rom Toolbox as an option but it doesn't quite have the same battery icon I'm looking for. I was really hoping for directions to just port over the Valhalla icon myself, if that's even possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You might just try pushing the tweaks.apk in your ROM. It might have the battery icon you are looking for in it. I don't know. Just a though. I am suggesting this because this is where we have our status bar tweaks, including battery, on VB Final.

You can read over this to see what the tweaks are for.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] This_dude:
Thanks I'll give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] This_dude:
Didn't work.

Ok so I pushed the Tweak.apk to the /system/app folder but it didn't help. I think the battery icons are located in the SystemUI.apk file. Which is what i originally was going to push but there are far more battery icons in the ASOP rom then Valhalla.

So I guess what I want to know is how do I change the mod of 1% battery increments to 5% so that I can use Valhalla's icons. I still appreciate the suggestions though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I could be wrong but just replace them. If there is no icon to show it will leave the current one until the next one with the proper name is called.

Just rename them exactly like the current ones on the 5% mark are and delete the old ones. If you use UOT that is how it would do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] This_dude:
Ok so I replaced the icons and now the battery icon is a constant red bar with an exclamation point. I named all the icons accordingly and erased the extra ones but no luck. Let me know if I did something wrong, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] This_dude:
Got it!

After many attempts and fails I finally got it to work. What I was doing wrong was not adding the stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charging.xml file to the framework apk. I just took them from the Valhalla rom. I'd like to thank everyone for the ideas and suggestions.

Make sure that your .zip isn't corrupted - if possible, verify the MD5 hash against the site you downloaded the zip from.

Edit, also try extracting the .img files from your zip and flashing those individually.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awan!:
I want to Interop-unlock my Trophy and from the treads i read i need a custom for that. But can i still restore my current backups after installing a custom rom?

I've installed stock ROM in the past which changed the backup folder name (C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\xxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxx) and i couldn't restore my backups :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
I personally have never been able to get a backup to successfully retake on the phone I took the backup from. Your mileage may vary but I don't think it works.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
You can interop-unlock a Trophy (or almost any other HTC first-gen phone) if your firmware version isn't too high. Just rolling back the version should be enough to do that.

However, to answer your question, no you can't restore a (Zune) backup into a custom ROM, not without losing the custom ROM. The backup includes the ROM image, and restoring it completely wipes the phone and restores it exactly as it was before, ROM included.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awan!:
Can i interop-unlock with Mango or do i have to roll back to NoDo? My phone is dev-unlocked btw.

My current OS version: 7.10.7720.68
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I said your Firmware version, not your OS version. However, if you're still on 7720, there's a decent chance (but not a guarantee) that you're OK.

Did you even *try* looking at the official interop-unlock thread under dev&hacking? It's almost always on the first page, very easy to find by search, and linked from the sticky thread at the top. It does require dev-unlock, but you have that...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awan!:
Yes trust me i know where the seach button is, tried everything going back to NoDo and follow ansar's guide - also tried your interlop hack.

I believe i should be OK as long as my bootloader is 4.6.

I read your comment in another tread about interop-unlock and full unlock correct me if im wrong, i need to flash the bootloader with a custom bootloader before my phone becomes fully unlocked? And is it even possible to be fully unlocked with stock ROM?

My bad don't know why i wrote the OS version, here is the phone info:

OS version: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware revision number: 2250.09.16907.401

Hardware revision number: 0003

Radio software version: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U

Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Did you try Heathcliff74's app? It uses the same hack as mine but works on more phones; I don't even know why I left my XAP up. I don't know how Ansar's stuff works, which means I don't entirely trust it, but people have reported it working... Of course, he's published enough different things that "ansar's guide" could be any of several procedures.

Your firmware version is surprisingly low for a first-gen phone; I'd expect Heathcliff74's interop-unlock to work just fine. Note that if it's a Verizon Trophy (hybrid GSM/CDMA) there's a few additional steps you'll need to take, which are available in Heathcliff74's "official" interop-unlock thread as well.

SPL (bootloader) 4.6 is too high to install HSPL (required for a custom ROM) directly, but is somewhat easier to downgrade than 5.x (which typically requires a goldcard or similar shenanigans). if you want to use a custom ROM, though, you'll certainly be able to get full unlock.

I'm personally working on a full-unlock for stock ROMs, based on my HtcRoot project. It will require interop-unlock (or NoDo) and at least temporarily downgrading to an outdited firmware, though (2250.*.3XXXX.* works on my HD7).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awan!:
Yes also tried Heathcliff74's app, but i gave it a try again and it seems to be interop unlocked now. I uninstalled HTC Connection Setup and Heathcliff74's app then restartet the phone which i didn't do the many times before!! After reinstalling the apps it worked!

Does the low firmware ver. mean anything?

Sounds good, looking forwards it :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Low firmware version just usually means that your phone's HTC drivers that are used for high-privilege apps (like TouchXplorer, Advanced Config, etc.) haven't yet been crippled. In this case, it's a good thing. However, different phones use different version numbers for the same level of functionality in their firmware, so comparing yours and mine doesn't necessarily mean anything.

You shouldn't have had to either uninstall Connection Setup nor reboot the phone, but I'm glad you got your interop-unlock working!

Remove the firmware zip from your sd card.
[HTC Sensation] maumont:
Instead of using the full wipe try out the Super Wipe Script as written below.

Probably you find here a solution.

And on 4ext Recovery you have 2 suggestions on flashing a new rom:

TMOUS and KERNEL (latest could cause some problems)

I dont know what you have XE or non-XE.

With XE you should choose the 1,2 GHz Kernel.

I'm pretty sure this has been answered a million times, but I apparently never learned much about the firmware part of this . I rooted my phone a long time ago when Revolutionary first came out.

I probably missed something along the way and not sure what I did wrong. I even tried the other firmware 3.12 with the hope I could get it to boot. No luck.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Were you trying to flash ICS ROMS or GB ROMS, you can't run GB on 1.27 h boot. H Boot 1.23 can run both GB and ICS. What were you trying to flash?

Have you read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

After you flash the firmware for ICS you have to delete the PG58IMG.zip from your sd card. Then flash the ICS ROM.
