The battle so far...

Earlier today I was just using my phone as usual, couldn't remember which app I was using, it froze and suddenly rebooted. When the lock screen came up, after 10 seconds or so, it rebooted again! In the next dozen reboots, I tried many things in that 10 seconds window, but nothing worked. So I went into recovery and did factory reset.

After reset, it came up fine, but couldn't connect to my works EAP wifi, stucks at obtaining IP. I thought it was just some wifi issue. I got home and tried the wifi, still doesn't work, stuck at obtaining IP address! Did google search and people with other android phones suggest factory reset (which I did earlier), so I reset again, wifi still doesn't work. Did some search in XDA GN forum and couple people suggest rebooting router, did that but still same thing!

Any other suggestions? I can't believe I'm having so many issues with latest official Google phone!

EDIT: it was all working before it first froze and rebooted. it was stock 4.0.2 yakju

EDIT 2: got frustrated and used GN toolkit to reflash stock 4.0.2 image, working again...

mods, please move to appropriate thread if needed..

I was wondering with the speed in which new development has slowed (nearly stopped) for webOS and HP devices, verse the speed in which new development for the android OS has increased, how many android devs do we have that used to develop apps and patches for the webOS homebrew community?

ever since the main creator of webOS changed companies from HP (after plam was bought by HP) to change over to android development, we HAVE to have many of the homebrew devs change too.

I was just wondering if anyone had an idea or if we don't know yet, and you are a dev currently working android projects that have replaced your old webOS projects, maybe post a reply here and tell us of your work for webOS

I'm hoping to see that we do.. :)

There are no Android devs that used to work on webOS stuff??

That's what it looks like, don't it.

I guess so.. That's interesting to me though seeing as how similar they are and how Android 4.0.3 (ICS) has some "WebOS" style functions starting to make their way in..

Is there a mod that will let me use the volume keys to take a picture? And what app do you guys recommend to take pictures or just stick with stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlueMonkey14:
I think it would be better to use the power button to take pictures, that way u could use the volume buttons to zoom in and out

I am running tweakstock1.4 and PBJ 130. I've been on this setup without any problems since Feb 5th.

My battery is DEAD. The phone would vibrate and the screen kept turning on telling me to charge the phone(while I was). I am trying to charge it with the phone off, but the phone keeps rebooting then shutting itself off and rebooting...

The battery is to the point it is making it just past the Samsung screen and shutting off again. After a few minutes it tries to boot again and goes a little less farther in the boot process than the last time.

WTF...

Anyone got any suggestions on how to keep it shut off until it actually has a charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Unplug the phone, pull the battery, put the battery back in, plug the phone in. Should go into "low-power mode" and give you the battery charging screen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scotttr:
I pulled the battery, sim and sd, it still kept trying to turn itself back on. I never saw low pwer mode.

I was trying to use the USB on my laptop to charge it, apparently it was not enough juice.

I plugged it into the wall and when it came back on this time it stayed on and the battery is charging.

I should have tried the wall plug way sooner.:o

Weird that it kept turing itself on though.

For some reason the pbj kernel turns the phone on when it is off and plugged in.

[Verizon Droid Charge] fsuinnc:
I have been wondering why my phone turns on whenever it is plugged in so thanks for the info. If this is part of PBJ, is this considered a bug or feature? any way around it? I can't get my phone to charge past 86% while it is on. (Yes, I need to calibrate the battery but haven't).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
Right. So a friend of my friend made me root his phone a while back and I threw mikg 2.52 on it and all was good. Now the guy contacted me today and said his battery life was in the crapper and wants me to change it to something more battery life favored since he isn't by a charger for a long time throughout the day. And since I have been using the new ics roms and jumping back and forth often I don't really know what to give him now.

So what's your opinions? I need something stable as a rock and best battery possible. I need this to last him a while since I almost never see this guy... Haha

P.s. I know people hate these kind of post. Just bear with me here because I'm meeting this guy tomorrow morning and have to know what I should flash for him. Also no aosp please.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
You could have him try the one in your sig. It gave me great battery life when I used it, but as always, YMMV. You really have to try them out and see which gives the best battery life for you.

Also could try apps like Juice Defender or similar that aim to optimize battery life.

80% at night with heavy use throughout the entire day? I can't believe that. Screenshot? If someone else can validate this, I might try the rom with LEE kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfullmetal17:
He did mention no AOSP (although AOSP really does have the best battery life IMHO)

Koni's Elite Series III combined with netarchy-toastmod HAVS-less had decent battery life, only issue is that was a Froyo build.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brilliancy:
I don't mean to sound rude, but different ROM and kernel combinations can only make so much of a difference. I'm skeptical of claims of amazing battery life with heavy usage because in the end, the battery is still the same size and the large screen still draws a lot of power.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
It is perfectly safe to use the dz hboot on a g2, its just the flashing of the hboot and restoring which can cause a brick.

I have been using it as it comes with codename 1.4. I love it, I never used speaker phone before but I use it now. It shows that it uses alot of battery but I'm on 18 hrs with 71% left so it can't be using that much.

I think it is great for driving, for those of us who hate bluetooth headsets! I checked my battery stats, and mine is showing really high as well. But I've been getting great battery as usual with the Matrix kernel since last nite, so Im just going to assume it is some sort of false reading bug.

I've never tried codename before, but that is an awesome included app from the dev! Im surprised this app isnt more popular around the forums.

Hello.

I used the ubuntu restore from AdamOutler. It worked like a charm to restore my borked Nook tablet. But for what ever reason it picked up a serial number that doesnt match the one that is registered to me and my tablet. Is there a adb command or something along those lines that i can restore my serial with? I changed the serials via root explorer but it always defaults back to the wrong serial. I know it must be something I did along the line of trying to fix it but it bothers me it doesnt match to my account. It wont let me register it again. Thank you for any help...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
Since no one has answered I'll give it a try. The place I find the serial number is

/rom/devconf/SerialNumber it is 16 bytes and permissions are r--r----- or

440. Since you didn't say where you were making the change this may not help.

also for info you will find /system/xbin/setserial hope this limited info may help.

Good luck!

Forgot something. I believe you can register multiple devices with google and use the same account. Mine is registered two different ways. I am registered as

Bn Nook Tablet

and

Barnes&Noble BNTV250

both are the same unit just different builds.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] markbird1:
Hello again,

I found two places where the serial is stored both in the rom folder. One is the "Serialnumber" file and the other is label "deviceID". Changing both will not outlast a system reset. There must be a hidden backup file where this number is stored also.

I tried this method, but for some reason, I kept getting errors when trying to write from the unmounted SD card with DD, and, when trying with the device mounted, it would continue to write the .img file, (3-4 gig before I realized why it was taking so long.)

However, once I had the "ROM" sd card, and modified the files as necessary, I booted a CM7 SD card with my nook, installed one of the many "Root" filesystem managers, and replaced the edited DeviceID and SerialNumber files on my Nook's internal ROM.

This worked -- to an extent. B&N's default software now shows my proper Serial #, however, my B&N will still not pass registration.

I'm thinking that perhaps there's something more to the registration process, MAC address perhaps?

((UPDATE))

So, I took the plunge, cracked open the back of the nook, and found the MAC address on a sticker inside, handy that, eh?

However - This still will not pass B&N registration, so there's something that I've managed to mess up beyond that. I'm guessing this particular NT will never be able to use stock ROM's again. Oh, well, not a huge loss IMHO.

((END UPDATE))

I'm probably not going to poke at it further, as I dont acutally plan on using B&N's default software, I purchased my NT with the express intention of rooting. My only worry is warranty, however, I purchased the Best Buy "Accidental Damage" warrenty, so, if it does break. I just need to "drop" it so the screen cracks! LOL!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] f16jack:
Nook Tablet Serial Number Restore & MAC Address restore

Thanks to all for the help with repartitioning/rebuilding Nook Tablet. Here's my input to help others on their way.

Serial Number and MAC Address restore.

You will need to install a hex editor to your laptop - one like "Free Hex Editor Neo".

We will find every instance of the serial Number and of the Mac Address in Partition 5 and change them to the correct values.

This also will automatically correct the DeviceID.

Write down your incorrect values and your correct values for Serial Number and MAC Address

Now we will modify an existing rom image for Partition 5

-if you have an existing image for Partition 5 in your laptop make a copy of it and put it in C:/download.

. -skip to step 9

-otherwise do the following:

Get the image for partition 5 from your Nook Tablet and copy it to your laptop.

1. adb shell

2. ~# mount sdcard

3. ~# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/blk/mmcblk0p5.img

..-this copied the rom image to the sd card. It is about 48MB.

4. ~# exit

5. cd /

6. adb pull /sdcard/blk/mmcblk0p5.img /download/mmcblk0p5.img

..-this copies the image file from the SD card to your laptop. Places it in the C:/download subdirectory.

7. adb shell

8. rm /sdcard/blk/mmcblk0p5.img

..-this deletes the image file from the SD card

Edit the image file

9. Open Free Hex Editor Neo

.......-file, open file, C:\download\mmcblk0p5.img

10. Search for the old incorrect value for the serial number

11. click on the right side of the hex editor (on the ansi script)

.......-do a replace

...............-type in correct serial number

...............-replace every instance of the serial number in the file

12. Do the same operation to find/replace the MAC address

13. save the file. remove the “.img” file extension from it.

14. put it on the sd card in the root directory (either push it or place the SD card in your laptop)

15. adb shell

16. ~# mount sdcard

17. ~# dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

18. ~# exit

19. remove sdcard, reboot internal.

Cheers.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Negi9:
Hey Guys,

As the ROM's are flying in from everywhere (which is a good thing) the Developer Sub-Forum seems to be overcluttered with ROMs. To overcome this issue, there can be two Sub-Forums like in the Samsung Galaxy S2 Forums i.e:

Optimus One, P500 Android Development

Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development

So, the cool, uber-themed ROM's can reside in the P500 Android Development, while the Original ROM's such as CyanogenMod 7/9 , AOSP, Oxygen, Phoenix Etc. can be categorized in the P500 Original Android Development.

I don't actually know how to report this to the moderators (Im a noob :o) but anyone that can, is most welcomed to do so.

Thanks,

Negi9

I like this idea a lot and think that it should be done.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nocterum:
Currently the Theme and Apps Section serves for Themed ROMs, unfortunately some people think their ROMs are so...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RockR172:
+1,

I was thinking of this too, but was not able to actually come to a conclusion...

There are way toooooo many binary enhanced ROMS and they need a special place... coz of those ROMS, the real development gets kinda hidden under..

I personally dont like such ROMS but many people do... so they deserve their own place...

Division will be a great thing... :)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] cure25:
Yup,even I was thinking so

Development section is so messy at the moment
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
I agree, I do like new things but there are to many themed roms with many scripts thrown in that exist in other roms. A way to clean up the thread is to do what was suggested in first post...unfortunately you have a few indivuals who think modifying the framework,adding a new theme and 50 scripts makes those roms something new to our devices. Wish I had a damn computer capable of actually building from source..I'd definitely be helping lupohirp or arjen with cm9/ICS..if there's an actual developer here who can fix camera exposures on nightlies than I'd definitely enjoy that
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
To add to what I said it would be nice if the the entire thread was revamped and shows thread based on subject..ie games,apps,mods,kernels based on either 35 or 32,maybe threads based on different scripts. A thread specifically for rom changelogs and discussion threads for original android roms and themed roms. I truly believe that any rom is a product of development .You just have actual roms based from source and some based from official noghtlies
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
I think users need a guideline to where there roms go. This is what I think:

a) All roms built from source or from scratch truly belong in the development section.

b) All roms that are themed or based off of another rom (including binary ports) belong in another section (for now all we have is the themes and apps section, so that is where they should go).

I will use an analogy to explain why I think binary ports should not be mixed in with roms under a):

Binary ports are just like books with a cover from another book. It looks totally different on the outside, but it is pretty much the same thing on the inside (this may not be the best analogy, but you get the idea).

Although the effort is appreciated, it is sad to see people thinking that adding scripts and themes to a rom makes it totally developed from scratch (what's worse is that they claim it is faster without showing any evidence or proof). At least know where you are supposed to post.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Negi9:
Guys, If you agree, please take time to vote in the poll :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RockR172:
Well, you cant say all binary ports are like that...

Take for example the sense port... its truly a complicated port... it consists editing of libs n stuff...

While all those Chinese ROMS are nothing but copy-paste of frameworks from original ROM to our nightlies...

That makes them so bugless...

There should be another section for such ports like those chinese/MIUIv4 ROMS, while complicated ports stay in dev thread along with source compiled roms... ;)

At the Moment, Here are Truely developed ROMS:

1. CM9

2. Oxygen

3. CM7

4. Sense port

5. OMGB/OMFGB by Bytecode

6. mik_os's CM7

7. void #forever

8. CyanogenMMatt

9. Code Name Android

10. Phoenix ROM

11. AOSP Gingerbread

12. Bytecode's CM6

13. Arjens Eclair port

(I guess i forgot some?) :D

These deserve to be in Development thread! :) ;)
