I guess it will just be a new brench of linux distribution with android like ui
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
An android desktop would be slower than a version like linux or windows and android just doesn't have the software of any desktop os so would be a poor choice to use as one.

For example say you want to convert a video or add subtitles to it, make a rom or do some developing etc. Bit hard on what is meant to be a mobile os. Next android version could change that but not anytime soon.

The Linux 3.3 kernel is bringing in Android features. There is also the Ubuntu for Android project going on. I imagine if Android stays popular that someday you'll be able to easily run Android apps right in Linux. This would help out Linux as it would get some popular apps out there like Neflix and may make it more appealing to people.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh_cANONs:
At this point, an Android desktop ui wouldn't be of use to anyone, really. As stated before Android doesn't have any desktop applications, and it would likely be a few hundred mb's to get a fairly usable set of apps. Why go through the trouble, when you can just use a launcher like kde plasma?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingolianbeef:
What is kde plasma.?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] new ion?:
... plasma is basically a ROM for actual linux.

its very pretty, has some cool features, and is featured in kubuntu
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperia64:
Another problem is that for all apps that use native arm code would not run on an x86 processor
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingolianbeef:
Nicer than Ubuntu.?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alter0001:
yes, ubuntu is enough if same marketplace here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eppeP:
No. Plasma is not basically a Read Only Image (ROM) of a system.

Plasma is the desktop shell of the K Desktop Environment (KDE).

Your android device is more of an actual Linux system than various systems you can run KDE on, as KDE is in not limited to systems running on top of a Linux kernel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] new ion?:
I don't know the ins and outs... Sorry.I'm still rather new to Linux, just installed Ubuntu via wubi on my laptop.... Anyways, I just meant it more like "kde is the front end of the whole shebang, just like a ROM is" I guess I probably should've said launcher...

Sorry for any misconceptions
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face Of Boe:
I'm eagerly awaiting an android desktop environment. I've been using osx for a decade, and I'm getting a little sick of it. Windows is on my gaming machine, and always will be. Plus I can use that machine for heavy CPU stuff like video conversion. But I would love to switch to a smooth Androud environment for every-day use (web browsing, facebook, email, IM, etc).

In the same vein, my friend's daughter corrupted her netbook with viruses within about 2 weeks of getting it, despite anti-virus protection, etc. I offered to install Linux (Newborn) for her to try, which she did, and loved it. Now her only complaint is that she can't download cool apps like she can on her Android. That's another perfect Android scenario. Unfortunately Android x86 isn't compatible with half the hardware on the device (yet). But hopefully someday...

I just got the new Asus power adapter. It comes with a new wall charger that has fixed prongs that do not retract. It also comes with a five foot USB cable. I plug it in and guess what? The quick charge icon does not come up. I get the battery indicator box that flashes in the center of the screen, but no quick charge icon. Anyone else have this adapter?

I am using cwm 5.8.0.9 touch and it wasnt able to flash any of my roms or kernels. i did a full wipe and now its derpham
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Go back to the site and thread where you.DL the recovery. In the OP, it should have instructions on installing "the hard way." Don't be alarmed, its really not hard, just not SUPER easy... It's still very easy as long as you follow the instructions. You have to flash the recovery in fastboot
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
From there, you should be able to install zip from SD card and flash the ROM of choice. After you flash the ROM and it reboots, DON'T FORGET TO FLASH THE KERNEL if you want WiFi and BT to work :D
[HTC Sensation] sano1:
Hey guys, So I initiated flash today and have come across a slight problem;

I followed the guides on here: http://xdaforums.com/show...4#post21711154

and here: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=21989107

I saw that the first thing to have done was install 4ext recovery. I followed the read me and tried the "adb reboot bootloader" but it kept saying device not found. Then I noticed I had it already in my phone, so I ran the backup and it said back up complete. So then I turned off the phone, rebooted into bootloader and waited for the update. However, it said "error invalid CID and can't update. Press power to reboot" It was the only option given. So then, I followed the guide on Kohr-Ah's page and took out the SD card, rebooted into bootloader, went to Recovery, ran superwipe and installed ARHD 6.5.1 with Beats Audio. After everything went done and well, it rebooted and turns on but once the beats logo completes its circle, it gets stuck on the beats page. I ran the wipe again, and reinstalled ARHD and still gives the same result. Any body know how I can solve it?

I also forgot to say that when I try to install the PG581IMG (the firmware) it says:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update package...

Installation aborted.

Update: I cleared cache from 4ext, and reflashed the rom. After rebooting and passing the htc white screen, I'm at a black screen with "android" written across in metallic silver. It has a white flash pass pass through the whole writing. It's been like this for about 15 or so minutes.
[HTC Sensation] ali3nfr3ak:
your links are pointing no where...404 page not found, if you have a sensation and not a sensation XE your update zip should be called PG58IMG.zip not PG581IMG.zip

but really need to see where your links point to..
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Did you flash the firmware for the rom - 3.32? If not this is the cause of the boot loop. Have you got s-off via revolutionary?
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
Happened with me....Insert the SD card again which was inside when you flashed ARHD ROM....it will boot.....
[HTC Sensation] sano1:
Stringer, No I did not before doing the wipe. Something I realized I should have done after I had run Superwipe. But when I do run it it says installation aborted for some reason. I do have S-off via revolutionary. I'd gotten it done the first time when I flashed the custom rom, along with SuperCID.

Ali3nfr3ak, I made a mistake, I do have the PG58IMG file. Sorry bout the links, here they both are: 1) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 and 2) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21989107

Mathrania: What do you mean reinsert the SD card? It is inserted, it has been so the whole time, but still gets stuck on the black screen with android on it.

I should put out my Revolutionary

I check the md5sum for the PG58IMG file and it gives the following

fea9240feef50554a17688dc2b1a7bac

However, when I check this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 that Mike linked for the firmware on his page, I can't file that md5sum nor the file itself. I see that the rom is based on Firmware 3.32.401.5 but I can't even find 5, on that page I see only up to "x" and "10x" that's it. Am I missing something?
[HTC Sensation] sano1:
I'm sorry for being persistent, but I really need the phone working and I've looked in as many places as I can find to see if some one else had the problem so that I could acquire some help that way. But alas, it came fruitless. Any and all help would be appreciated. I've wiped cache and dalvik cache, but still nothing. It now goes up to the beats screen but gets stuck on that screen.
[HTC Sensation] tohfhu:
Okay, lets go back to the basics.

Check everything, make sure you're super CID. You need to flash the correct firmware that the rom needed (go with the 3.32), then delete it from the sd card after flashing. Then, you should superwipe. Then flash the correct ARHD (make sure that you used the ICS one)

Sent from a revolutionized HTC Sensation ICS
[HTC Sensation] sano1:
I do remember having done super CID, however when I had the PG58IMG in there it would say "incorrect CID" and "update failed" at the bootloader main screen right after scanning and would tell me to "press power button to reboot." I'm not sure which version of the firmware I should have gotten, I have the hboot version 1.27.1100 and am seeing that the guides say to have 3.32.401.5 of the firmware but I couldn't find that version anywhere.

I did just as you said now, and it still got stuck on beats. It's as though it gets stuck right as it's about to load up.
[HTC Sensation] tohfhu:
If its saying incorrect CID, then you're not on superCID, because when you are on super cid you can flash any firmware from any region or carrier (correct me if im wrong lol). Check the CID, make sure that its "11111111"

The firmware is in here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

[HTC Sensation] sano1:
Well that makes sense. Now here's a wee bit of another problem. I can't get cmd to recognize my devices as as per the guide I need to go into usb charge mode, however I can't even get the phone to boot. I'm wondering now if I do a factory reset via bootloader or 4ext if it would reset the whole thing and get back my stock rom and all? As well as if it will delete anything backed up on to the SD card? I can superCID right after and then run the firmware as well as superwipe and ARHD
[HTC Sensation] sano1:
If any one's around and can help, please don't hesitate. I'm in a bit of a desperate situation as to the solution. May be if I can get the modelid and edit it into the notepad, that would work? Potentially? If there's an actual solution, even better.
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Does boot loader work? If so boot that, select fastboot. Does PC recognise phone now?

EDIT: is recovery working?
[HTC Sensation] sano1:
I went into fastboot and noticed it turn into FASTBOOT USB, I rebooted the system but still froze on the beats screen. Should I fastboot bootloader? PC wasn't recognizing phone at all. I think I should keep it in that fastboot USB menu and then play around with CMD, any thoughts? Recovery? Are you asking about Clockwork recovery? Or 4ext?
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
OK go back to boot loader, plug into PC and open cmd terminal as admin.

cd to whatever folder your fastboot driver is in and enter "fastboot devices". You should get device and serial no returned.

That shows PC recognises phone.

From there you can boot into recovery (yes CWM or EXT4), wipe everything, superCID, and flash fw/rom.
[HTC Sensation] sano1:
Thank you, sooo much. So what the reason it wasn't going into Fastboot USB was 1) I had the HTC sync software installed on another computer and not the current one, 2) I didn't have SuperCID but BM__001, and using the other computer I switched it to 11111111. I also was using "adb" as a command on CMD rather than "fastboot" I noticed Fastboot followed by command worked but with adb it wasn't finding the device.
[HTC Sensation] sano1:
SUCCESS! Phone's now operating. Many thanks to all those who contributed. All I have to do now is restore SMS back up as well as some data back up from 4ext. Should I redownload SMS back and restore to restore or should I do a 4ext restore first and then SMS?
[HTC Sensation] tohfhu:
Sorry I fell asleep yesterday, good to know that everything is fine now.

Regarding about you new question, well im not sure about that. Correct me if im wrong, 4ext copies an exact image of what your phone is before you flashed it. So when you recover through 4ext it will turn your phone back to the last rom you used. Im correct? lol

Sent from revolutionized HTC Sensation ICS
[HTC Sensation] sano1:
That's quite alright. Actually what happened is I thought I need to go into 4ext and do a recovery, and did so only to brick the phone. SO I reflashed it and installed the ROM again only to find that 4ext automatically reinstalls all apps. It did and I was soo happy. As for my sms messages, I went back to sms back up and restore and restored them. All's well for me right now. Though I'm noticing some lag on the phone itself, in performance, and sending text messages. And especially in the music player.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalpressure:
Am facing a weird problem on my Galaxy S I9000. Some days before, I went out of my Carrier Hot Zone, i.e. on Roaming and lost network signals for the entire stay of my roaming period.

I have inserted the sim card in another phone and it worked fine. But on my Galaxy S, now, even in the hot zone, i.e. my local network does not show me any signal strength except emergency calls. Again, sim card works fine in another phone.

Now my Galaxy S won't accept any sim card and shows no network signal. I have tried flashing different ROM's and Modems with no luck.

Any solution to this? Thanks in advance.

[Nexus S General] stumpy352:
I've seen some interest on the forums in how to do this. So here is a guide.

NOTE: This mod will render the capacitive buttons(hardware buttons) on your Nexus s completely inoperable. Use this mod only if you are using a custom ICS OR JB ROM with navigation bar(on screen buttons) enabled, or some other way to navigate your phone.

First, make sure that you are completely satisfied with the operation of the navigation bar & are certain that you have no need for the capacitive buttons.

DISCLAIMER: This mod involves editing system files. Use at your own risk. This mod will not magically make the navigation bar appear on roms that do not already have it enabled. This mod only disables the capacitive buttons. Instructions on how to disable the backlights for these buttons will be at the bottom of this post.

UPDATE : Just flash these zips.

To disable capacitive keys

http://db.tt/AyJLDkg1

To restore capacitive keys

http://db.tt/PhxFyBb3

And an init.d script for BLD to turn the backlights off (to the best of your BLD supported kernels ability anyway)

http://db.tt/BRpy78Cz

NOTE : Success will vary with BLD according to the capabilities of your chosen kernel. Some kernels are really good with bld responsiveness, others aren't. This has nothing to do with my script. And remember that you can't just choose a kernel based on how well it handles backlight settings. It's gotta run your whole phone too.

For those who want to do it manually.

1; Using Root Explorer (from market) go to system/usr/keylayout.

2; Mount system as r/w.

3; Long press on the file called mtx224_ts_input.kl.

4; Select 'open in text editor'. Scroll down and you will see these 4 lines:

key 158 BACK WAKE

key 139 MENU WAKE

key 217 SEARCH WAKE

key 102 HOME WAKE

5; Delete these 4 lines. Or alternately, just delete the lines for the buttons you want disabled.)

6; Press menu, save & exit. (Root Explorer will automatically create a backup of this file. It will be called mtx224_ts_input.kl.bk)

7; Now, make the same edits to the 4 lines in the file called cypress-touchkey.kl and save & exit.

8; Reboot.

Now you have no capacitive buttons(or only the ones you left intact in step 5 & 7).

Now, the backlights are still working. To disable these, flash a kernel that has backlight dimmer support(BLD) (I use GladOs) and use NStools(from market). Set BLD to on. And delay to 0. Done. No buttons & no backlight.

NOTE: BLN will still work even with BLD on.

To undo this mod you can either restore the original .kl file using the backup that Root Explorer automatically created. Just delete the modified .kl file and rename the .kl.bk file by just removing the .bk from the end of the file name. And reboot.

Alternately, you can just flash your ROM straight over the top. (of course, that means you'll have to flash your kernel & any other mods again too)
[Nexus S General] dchoward1977:
Followed this to the letter and my buttons still work... Any thoughts?
[Nexus S General] stumpy352:
Hmm... are you sure you rebooted after making the edits? Which rom are you using. I've tested with AOKP build 27. And cm9 with evilisto's mod and both work fine. Are the button functions still working or just the backlights? If it's just backlights, make sure you set nstools to run on boot. If it's function that's still working, check the edited .kl file and make sure the edit stuck. If you are sure you've folowed to the letter and button 'functions' are still working it may be necessary to make the same edits in cypress-touchkey.kl as well. This wasn't necessary for me but it may be with your rom.

Awesome mod! I needed to also delete in cypress-touchkey.kl. Great job!
[Nexus S General] stumpy352:

I was just reading an article for LEDs hack.apk. Supposedly gives you control on/off for button bl. The dev says nexus s will never be supported because the button bl & screen bl are powered together. If that was the case, bld wouldn't work without affecting the screen. Evilisto made a reference to arrays.xml in framework res. Maybe the answer is here. I don't have a pc so I can't decompile it and have a look. Any takers?
