I have never used Vmware player

I have had vmware on trial a few times

virtualbox is open (mostly open)

it is free

it is easy

but maybe I will give vmw player a try

tbh I don't really care about what VM as long as it works

if it is speed you are after then do a proper GNU Linux install on real hardware.

back to size

20GB per build is the minimum 30+ recommended

apparently ICS requires considerably more to build

switching between branches is relatively painless

you just can't build both at the same time

I have found VMware to be real finicky and a pain to use ever since they went to the web-based interface.

I am using WUBI x64 now instead of a VM until I can find my box of cables to install the drive into my old old old P4 box and run x32 Ubuntu...but so far WUBI is great.

Scripp,

The

how does it know what apks to include?
[G1 Android Development] Scrip:
I considered WUBI for the guide

but then realised I would need to install windows

but wubi is a great way to do it

from what I understand it is just a diskimage on the NTFS bootstrapped from the windows bootloader

So you are running on real hardware like a normal dual boot

but I may have miss-understood that

like I said I stopped contemplating it when I figured you needed windows

onto Apks

it just does :D

I haven't looked at the specifics but it does a very good job of tracking dependencies

after a make clobber do

make Settings

find $OUT/system -type f

to see a list of what Settings.apk depends on

you will then see what is required for Settings
[G1 Android Development] wergeld:
Ah, okay, yes. I see what you mean there. This makes a package that will not nuke existing data/apps correct?

What I want to do is take the ROM that was compiled and throw some apps/data and when I install the ROM have those things ready to go. More or less like a "disk image" like a nandroid backup.

Or even better make a ROM as before then make a zip that contains the apps I want to install like the gapps package. Have a few of these app packages + ROM installs that I can set up to let me quickly mix and match what I want to use the G1 for at the time (and also to learn how to do it in the process).
[G1 Android Development] Scrip:
have a look at the cyanogenmod_dream_sapphire.mk in vendor/cyanogen/products

you will see gapps get a mention

also look at the way I remove RomManager

you just need to do that in reverse (maybe not with sed)

also look at what I ended up doing with the kernel modules for CM6

I called an .mk from the full_dream_sapphire.mk

I haven't got my head round it yet but the is a python script

build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files

which creates the zip

but the only thing it does with data is wipe it

but no real reason why you couldn't add support for data

You can probably get away with updating system without wiping data as the various system settings should update themselves (on install the check existing settings version and inject new setting accordingly)

not sure what would happen if you downgrade
[G1 Android Development] wergeld:
By data I meant wallpapers and such. Not the system data like APNs.

I will check out the mk files tonight when I get home.
[G1 Android Development] Scrip:
Sorry I miss understood

you mean the files that end up in /data/data and data/system?

they should not be a problem the apps seem to be able to update their settings databases without issue

Not sure what would happen if you downgrade, shouldn't be an issue.
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
I mean VMWare Player 3 specifically...3.1.5 IIRC

Awesome speed. No problems.

But yeah, I might as well use my hard ubuntu install

About switching branches...what if I want to do multiple ROMs?

Egh, I guess I shouldn't leap that far yet and just stick with one.

Oh and I've also been looking for what makes the zips

Thanks, ill take a look at that

It'll probably be easier to tweak that then make a script to edit the zip after creation

Also can I store Android source on NTFS?

Ill go look it up once I get on my computer, unless someone else replies here :P
[G1 Android Development] Scrip:
Switching repo branches is easy

you just do a new repo init -u

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b froyo

and then repo sync

repo tries to clean up but doesn't seem to do a 100% job of it

for example switching from froyo to gingerbread leaves behind a number of .mk files which break lunch

so first delete the projects

the main repository is stored in .repo

a normal

rm -r *

should remove the project dir and leave .repo behind

rm -rf * is not very safe

the safest way is

rm -rf $(cat .repo/projects.list)

or

rm -rf $(repo list |awk '{print $1}')

at least that way you will only be able to delete the subfolders of a dir with a repo at its root, and keep any custom files you kept on the repo root

​

you can then do

repo sync -l

the -l (L)u on the end is --local-only, it doesn't update from the net it just uses what has already been downloaded

Any changes that you committed are also stored in .repo, so when you return you can rebase again

I think I shall write a wrapper for repo

firstly to use -c as the default repo sync

secondly to automatically rebase given projects on a repo sync

I'm not certain, I don't think you can as NTFS is not truly case sensitive

And NTFS Write support is not great in linux, best limit what you do with that.

Had a very quick look, you have to turn it on (POSIX case sensitivity)

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-SG/vcgeneral/thread/48203225-0606-43ce-8a02-de11dea29538

and even then it doesn't work all that well

your best be it to create a .vdi

Later you can mount that as a network block device

http://bethesignal.org/blog/2011/01/05/how-to-mount-virtualbox-vdi-image/

Or just fire up VirtualBox and copy via a shared folder
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
Alright thanks a bunch

The reason I asked was because my storage partition is NTFS and I don't want to start screwing with it

Ill go with a virtual disk

Just picked up a HTC Amaze 4G from someone off Kijiji. They had the phone with Telus, I unlocked it and I am with Mobilicity now.

I want to install the latest Android 4.0 ROM, default, no Sense, no nothing. Vanilla I belive it's called. Where do I start? What's the best. I came from a HTC Desire, so it's been many changes between these phones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
There is no vanilla Rom yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
First things first, if you're looking for a starting point, it lays in your desktop computer. You will have to compile the code yourself or wait patiently. If you read the COUNTLESS threads about 3.6/4.0 and AOSP in the Amaze forums, you will see that what you're looking for doesn't exist

And please, to prevent even MORE duplicate posts, read/search before posting. Thanks :)

Edit: First things first, obey your thirst, Sprite, ya dig? I miss those commercials lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] bmancell:
Thanks for the nicer answer.

So there are 4.0 ROMS though? And is there an expected time for the vanilla ROM? Did it not get officially released for this phone?

And excluding Vanilla, what is the best one out there, opioion of course? Ya know, fast and clean.

Edit:

This really isn't an opinion question.... I mean, it would kind of be IF there were 4.0 for the Amaze, but it's not... It's a question asking where to start when installing a ROM that doesn't exist.

Ok fair enough... No need to apologize. Nobody is in the wrong, and this happens all the time. Just trying to help.

There are those ppl too who don't use search engines often so may not be an "expert" at searching.

I personally have nothing but random reboots/bootloops on all of "UndeadK9's" ROMs. Some ppl say this as well, others swear its the most stable ROM out there. :rolleyes:

MT4GS Lite 1.2.3 is going to be extremely stable... But Bulletproof uses the same ROM base and its awesome with stability and battery life with newly implemented UV/OC kernels.

Very active/ helpful dev who knows his stuff on Bulletproof.

Not trying to tell u Lite won't be stable, but bulletproof will b just as/ if not more stable and battery life will prob b better.

Just my spare change.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Sinfamy:
I recommend Bulletproof. However I dislike the green hue, so I just copied and pasted all the apk's I wished to replace from Lite.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OneNawlige:
Some of the rom threads in the dev group are freakin massive(random) any way... thinking about trying out bulletproof im reading good things, but right on the newly updated thread it seems to say s-on may be a problem.

Can somebody clarify if im using the fast boot method to flash a new boot.img prior to flashing a new rom, should i worry about not having s-off?

Side note when if at all should i be wiping the data prior to flashing a new rom?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Out of those two I suggest Rubix expresso 1.3 over on Rootz. It is the final iteration of Crack Injected. It is my go to ROM when I want to get back from the bleeding edge and go to software that just works. I have links to it on the Rootz threaad as the other links are dead. Flash 1.2 then 1.3 to get set.

It is very close to Bulletproof but it's tweaked slightly in a couple of places. Bulletproof is great too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
I have a problem with bulletproof 1.1 wifi keeps disconnecting and eventually disables itself. Not sure where i went wrong with the installation if i did. Reinstalled twice, did a full wipe but wifi wouldnt work.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Is that with the included Kernel?

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
The rom is actually fine. False alarm. I screwed up some proxy settings so it wouldn't work, but it works now. Sorry
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Nope, s-on (unlocked) is no problem. Now that I was able to figure out how to set one of my doubleshots back to S-ON and then unlock it through HTC, i'm running fine and you should have no issues.

I will be supplying a new kernel for bulletproof when I get a chance to update the ROM again, meantime it's still the stock kernel in it but with an insecure boot image.

If you have issues right after flashing (wifi doesn't work) then you'll have to flash the kernel separately through fastboot, but again, for S-ON unlocked this is no problem.

----

You should always wipe your data and cache between ROMs, but on bulletproof (and any script i've ever released, actually) I handle all that for you so you can just flash and go.

I just think it's just good coding practice for the developer to take care of this step instead of leaving it up to the chance of the user not doing it.

Hello. My saga starts in this thread. I'm trying to run my 720p mkv video files smoothly in my Arc S (arconium 7.2, .64 baseband). Firstly I installed many video players from market (I even bought DicePlayer, which is great) but no one of them could run all mkv ok. A xda fellow told me about H264leveleditor, that I should use it to down my mkv file levels to 3.1, and it would resolve my problems. Well, in part, it worked. 30% of my video files began to run like a dream (in HW decoding mode) When the H264 level was in 4.1, the players worked only in SW mode, which was awful. The developer of DicePlayer told me that Qualcomm processors have a weak point in decoding mkv videos, but if it's true, why some videos run ok and some of only run laggy and out of sync?! Example: I run The.Big.Bang.Theory.S05E05.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION perfectly (hw decode), but The.Big.Bang.Theory.S05E17.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION run only in SW decoding mode. Isn't these mkv videos "identical"? Why one of them can run and the other one can't, if both of them is 720p mkv (3.1 H264 level)?

Sorry for the bad english but please, help =(

EDIT: Type mistake on the thread's title... it's HW video decoding problem...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmorD:
Tried Rockplayer? I just watched an episode of Himym, and it ran great. Fps and quality all fine.

E: oh HW decoding? My mistake.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulinodf:
Yeah... HW decoding. Is it possible to edit the title of the thread?!

Anyway, the developer of DicePlayer answered my email and said:

"Hi,

I don't know exactly the difference. I guess that the main reason is the count of reference frames (5 vs 8), but I'm not sure. The HW codec of tegra2 sometimes takes some more time to decode some frames (may be b-frames) as expected.

Thanks."

I'll try to check it later...

And yes, I tried rockplayer. It can't run some mkv's in HW decoding mode
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafu997:
Like I said in the other thread, for me also any difference between videoas that works and do not works were re-frames. And you cant change it without re-encode whole video and this takes time. For me with amd phenom II 4x3.4ghz it takes about 15 min for 20 min video. Shame that re-frames cant be changed like profile level ;) I think that newer releases o mkv videos are encoded with newer rules that scene must follow (like with profile level, that's required to be 4.1 at least for what I know) so less and less videos are gonna work on our arcs:(
