Hello

I have an LG GT540 with CyanogenMod 2.3.7-7.2.

The problem is that when I send a picture via MMS it appears the person who received it in video format 5 seconds. I tried with Go Pro SMS and the mobile phone's native application remains the same. Also already installed a rom 2.1 and the same happens.

Anyone know why since the problem?

What's the difference? My a500 stock reported itself as gen_2, but all the ROMs seem based on GEN_1.
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
I believe Gen 1 is Europe and Gen 2 is US versions of the rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yeah, but only certain countries. Then there's EMEA_TMPL.

Basically, all of the roms support the english language. Some, have a different default language set.

I would like to learn how to build stuff for my tmobile s2. I figured I should try to build the stock kernel first to get my hands dirty. I have been following this guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442870

Unfortunately it is for the Epic Touch 4G, but I think a lot is similar. I have several questions regarding building a kernel for the T989:

1) How can I extract the initramfs from a stock boot.img?

2) The guide from the link above tars a zimage file. Does this need to be boot.img for the T989?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datzstr8:
Below I have posted what I have done so far in trying to compile a kernel for the T989, in case anyone else is also learning like me.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit

1) Download T989 source code from here: https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=SGH-T989 (download the T989 version for TMobile)

2) unzip SGH-T989_GB_Opensource.zip

3) extract SGH-T989_Kernel.tar.gz

4) next you need to get a version of the initramfs. I got it off of my phone using clockworkmod backup (boot.img file) and following this guide to extract the initramfs: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-edit-repack-boot-img-windows

5) Download arm toolchain here (I use version 2010.09): https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/li...09-51-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

6) extract toolchain

7) Setup cross compile script (run before doing compiles) (change CROSS_PATH for your setup):

cross-compile.sh:

BINVERSION=arm-2010.09

export ARCH=arm

export CROSS_PATH=~/android/toolchains/${BINVERSION}/bin/

export CROSS_NAME=arm-none-eabi-

export CROSS_COMPILE=${CROSS_PATH}${CROSS_NAME}

export CC=${CROSS_NAME}gcc

export CXX=${CROSS_NAME}g++

export LD=${CROSS_NAME}ld

export STRIP=${CROSS_NAME}strip

PATH=${CROSS_PATH}:$PATH

8) Compile script (modify CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE to point to your initramfs) :

source ../scripts/cross-compile.sh

cd kernel

make clean

make mrproper

make msm8660_celox_usa_tmo_defconfig

make modules

make -j5 CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=../initramfs

9) The kernel image is in "arch/arm/boot/zimage"

10) *** Question: How do I make the zimage "odin" compatible

This is still not complete (Steps 10 is unsolved). I need to make the build image odin compatible.

If anyone knows of a kernel building guide that exists for the T989 please post here.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] novanosis85:

This is the script you want to use to extract the initramfs http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Extract_initramfs_from_zImage

It works for the E4GT without modification so it should work for you guys without modification.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datzstr8:
dtm_stretch,

Thanks for the extract script. The script does not work when I try to extract the initramfs from a boot.img I got from doing a backup with clockworkmod. It only manage to extract two empty folders: "dev" and "root"

However, the script does work when I tried it on a zImage I built myself. With the kernel I built I used the initramfs provided at: https://github.com/bubby323/anomaly_kernel_platform_SGH-T989/tree/master/initramfs

I know I can use the initramfs at the github but I really would like to learn how to get it myself so I can apply to other phones later. The knowledge is more important to me.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datzstr8:
I was able to extract the initramfs from the boot.img (cwm backup of my phone) using the tools at this site: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-edit-repack-boot-img-windows

Now my only problem is making a odin compatible (flashable) kernel from the compiled zImage. Is it as simple as renaming zImage to boot.img and then put it in a tar to flash with odin? The only reason why I am not certain is my zImage is only about 5megs while the boot.img is 10megs. It seems like the boot.img is a disk copy of the flash partition for the boot on the phone. Do I need to use dd to copy my zImage into boot.img?

I know I make no sense. Hopefully with this last step I have it all down (at least for creating a kernel, rom is next). Please help a noob. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dtm_stretch:
Sorry for not replying sooner, but if you want to create a flashable tar in terminal

# cd /where/your/zimage/is/located
# tar cvf whateveryouwanttocallyourkernel.tar zImage

or you can just use a zip that already flashes a kernel and swap out the zimages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datzstr8:
I was able to successfully build my kernel and flash it to my phone. I needed to use mkbootfs and mkbootimg to combine my zImage and ramdisk to make boot.img. I will post a tutorial up in the development section and will link it here when I am done. Hopefully it will help all the noobs like me get their feet wet. Stay tuned.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] interloper:
ODIN .tar

I advise all of you to learn bash scripting. With bash scripting or pearl you can automate this entire process. Also create a cheat sheet text document with long but common commands, git command reminders and things like that. These commands should create your ODIN .tar file. First cd to the directory the junk is in then:

tar -H ustar -c factoryfs.rfs cache.rfs modem.bin zImage boot.bin recovery.bin param.lfs sbl.bin > myOdin.tar

That makes the tarball

Then:

md5sum -t myOdin.tar >> myOdin.tar

That does the MD5 sum

Then:

mv myOdin.tar myOdin.tar.md5

That sign the tarball with the MD5 sum

You should be able to ODIN that .tar. Now, for the first command you can replace whatever files you want tarred with what I put. If you only want the modem.bin specify that only, etc.

Another word of advice is to find helpful helpful Nautilus scripts to ad to the right click context menu for time saving simple operation. Google it and you find several good resources. Also, if you look, there are Nautilus scripts that can be added to zip and sign .zip and .apk files to make that faster and easier.

Be careful out there and good luck.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
The reason I pose this question is because it is a precursor to a debate point which I later want to get to but in order to do that, there needs to be an objective definition.

What I would is for people to share their understanding of what KANGING is.

To me, KANGING is taking another developers code and creating something else with it.

This can be as simple as compiling android with an extended menu.

You pretty much got it. To copy and make your own or just to copy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] armoguy94:
I don't like the term. The whole point of open source software is to allow others to freely take and modify your own code, which was also built off of other people's code. As long as credit is given where due, what the heck is the problem? Sure, I understand taking someone's work, barely modifying it, and calling it your own can be looked down upon, but as long as credit is given to the original author(s), it is allowed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eagercrow:
Where did the term originate? Did someone way back in the day rip off code and his name happened to be Kang?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
You got it...kind of. Kang was not the actual last name though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Pretty sure this is more of where the term came from and why it upsets people, but add "without permission and/or credit."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] armoguy94:
Yeah, if someone specifically licenses their code to require permission... It is not as if the original coder asked permission from Google, Samsung, or whoever else to use their code. They made it freely available so anyone can freely modify and release it for free, as well. I think people here need to accept that fact. This is what is so great about open source software. However, if someone is releasing your modified work as their own without giving credit, that is a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Just to put something else out there based on this, what if the credit is in the source code. Just doesn't appear on the release page because of some random reason.

Does the definition change? Is it still KANG? Is it stolen? What's the thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] armoguy94:
I'm not sure, but that's unlikely to happen.. if anyone is ever in that position, they should just not be sleezey and give credit where due.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
This is where I would disagree, giving credit on a forum post isn't necessarily better than having the credits in the source code. Thinking as a developer, it would be much more important to me to have my name on top of a code snippet.

I would also like to point to XDA Rule #12 for this thinking.

Honestly, how can you call it open source, free software to do with as you please, more or less if you have to feel scared of being banned from XDA if you use any part of "their" code? It's not like Google is ever going to come banging on your door with a subpoena for you to attend court because they're suing you for using their open source code, that's because it's open source. It's how Google intended it to be. But then some tech "wizard" copies Google's work, makes a couple changes to it, slaps his brand on it and all of a sudden if you use "his" work you get banned from XDA because you can't actually get in legal trouble for it because in all reality you're really just doing what the guy you used code from did to Google? Obviously I am simplifying the scenario, but the point still remains...sounds a little like the double-edged sword. Personally, my opinion is such: IT"S OPEN SOURCE! GET OVER IT! Good for you if you know how to change up a little code, good for you if you now think you're this big time hero because you Googled (even used Google to use Google's AOSP code LMAO) how to change build.prop or whatever you changed to make your own flavour of Android.....in the end it's GOOGLE who owns even your work, because you never paid them for their code that you borrowed and mutilated, so why TF do you, as important as you are, get to ask for "coffee" for your work? Or get all butt-hurt if people "Kang" your work? I mean, the work you "kanged" (such a stupid euphanism for the word 'stealing') from Google...

Before anybody gets their pantyhose around their face and subsequently suffocating themselves over this, realise that every time I used the words "you", "your", etc. that it was in general, nobody specifically. So not one single person reading this comment should feel targeted, or offended over any of it. It's just not about anyone in particular.

Also, watch how fast I get banned for this comment...would be nice if XDA, as a community that I typically trust for all my work I do on Android, would be open to any opinion...but we'll see

MIUI is very good, just a bit tricky on first install.

My family has 3 Nooks.

I reverted First 2 Nooks to B&N 1.2 stock before installing MIUI. Wth full wype and reset. Registered for warranty purposes, immediately shut down. Full wype again then installed MIUI. Used Titanium to restore.

First 2 have been on MIUI with Swype Beta, for months now, without any problems other than market on 1.11.4 which is now fixed on the latest release. I started on 1.9, then 1.11.4 now 2.2.3. Swype Beta works great, (Must first uninstall standard Swype and register with Swype for the Beta. It is an easy signup on their website, the trick is finding the beta page). Titanium works great.

The 3rd is on B&N 1.4.1 rooted with Manualy nooter and Dalingrin OC Kernel. Everything seems to be great, except Swype will not run on B&N Stock roms. Titanium Backup does not work on B&N 1.4.1 rooted. Will try The CM 9 nightlies for fun in the next few weeks.

I do recall having early tiny problems with MIUI, but the usual wipes and installs seemed to settle everything. When first booting on MIUI there can be frustrating stages as you use the Button Saviour and Keyboards to get past the first SuperUser requests.

Use zMooth for the virtual buttons on the MIUI roms. Locate the zMooth Swype area to bottom left, reduce height to minimum, and change color to transparent grey. Also reduced width to about 1/2 inch.

Also use

Titanium Backup Pro to convert Button Saviour to a user app, then remove it completely. (Also to save and restore apps after clean installs)

Titanium works on MIUI and on B&N Nook

GoLauncher EX (free) Great for standardizing the UI for all my Android devices

Samba file share is great!!

Root Explorer Pro !! and

ADB Wireless essential and cool.

Nook Tweaks from Dalingrin to set up the Audio levels and undervoltages (essential)

SetCPU to OC to 1.2 Ghz on all 3 Nooks working well. (Needs Dalingrin's Kernel on the B&N 1.4.1) Dalingrin is a wizard.

Use Kindle, Nook and Aldiko for reading books.

Adobe PDF reader working well. Adobe Air and Flash also

GAPS working well

Opera Mobile for web (mostly)because of reflow ability, plus Firefox and Dolphin sometimes.

Rom Manager Premium

FolderSync is great for syncing with Drop box and other cloud backups.

Roboform Evernote and Twitter all work great

Facebook Messenger works very well but Facebook app itself is "force closing".

Pandora, Pulse, Quickpick all working well.

BirdieSync - sync with ThunderBird and Lightning (These guys are responsive) they come out with a new version of BirdieSync within days/hours of a new release of Thunderbird and have never tried to sting me for more money after years of use. (I have no connection with the company, just happy with them)

PowerAmp working great.

Youtube working,

XDA Premium working

Wish I could contribute / help with lower level testing!!!! Too much to learn.

Hope this helps.

I been obsessed lately, trying to find something that works with our new D4's. I flashed Arctic's VZW rom after rooting my phone and....it works! I have tested SMS/MMS, GPS and phone calls with no issue. The only think that i have noticed right off the bat is that the keyboard does not light up, which I am assuming is because the necessary drivers obviously were not in place for the Razr. With this being said, I would thikn CM7 as well as other Razr roms WILL work with our phones. I'm glad we have at least something now.....

If its anything like using the VZW 6.11.748 Razr Roms on 6.12.173 Razr then I believe enabling bluetooth will cause a reboot. Could you try that?

You are 100% correct. Bluetooth causes a reboot. Seems to be a common problem. I am looking into it still and I edited my OP

This is because 2.3.6 introduced a new bluetooth, but the Rom is based on 2.3.5 that's why it won't work.
