Well it would have bunch of scratches till now :) I use shirt to clean it everytime I take photo. Still "glass" that protects lenses isn't the same as one on front of the phone and its more likely easier to scratch - be aware of that.

Ps. I had motorbike accident just after buying phone... it was damaged a lot, and replacing "glass" parts at service is freaking expensive (especially front parts) so dont scratch it! :D

It is good

i will be testing on the 8"

10 entries : it is good may be

For the buzz

http://www.jbmm.fr/?p=27540

Problem :

I have ICS@BLUE installed

when is reboot on recovery mode /developper

I have the multi-boot with 2 entries

-Archos.ext4.backup

-Archos.ext4.update

and nothing works

i do not view ICS@BLUE
[Gen9 Android Development] nilse:
i think sirduke989 renamed the archos.ext4 from the ics@blue to ics@blue.ext4

so it easier to distinguish them

je crois que sirduke989 a renome le archos.ext4.update en ics@blue.ext pour pas les confondres

et :

archos.ext4.update = le nouveau firmware qui va etre flashe

archos.ext4.backup = une installation "clean" (sans apps personel), il te le faut si tu fait un "Reset Android"
[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:
Ok

I testing that

Great it 's works with ics@blue.ext4

What about wiping dalvik-cache? Switching to a different android firmware requires it (or you'll get botloop/app FC's/other bad things)
[Gen9 Android Development] sirduke989:
Thank you for the feedback, I updated the bugs and to do section.

I did, I also moved it to a different location. If surdu_petru does not mind I can work in the location he uses and some of his update routines.

Good point, I did not think of that. Until I get on the fly flashing of new firmware working I will put in a manual option to clear it.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
This won't affect manual way of wiping dalvik-cache (dalvik-wipe.update file on /mnt/storage). Adjusting update routines is also not a big deal however /data/local was chosen not by accident- android doesn't make any changes there so there is no risk of deleting system image (android does clean uninstalled/not present app data/files by itself since 2.3)

Booting Ubuntu 12.04...

Is it possible to boot latest Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 image on Archos G9 tablet...?

http : / / cdimage.ubuntu.com / daily-preinstalled / current

The image has a ext4 Partition inside...
[Gen9 Android Development] sirduke989:
Well I tried 12.04 with the kernel from the ubuntu thread and the screen flickers when you get to the login screen. Currently with this boot menu it only if each image uses the same kernel but I am trying to add the ability to flash a new kernel when swiching images. This will make it a little easier to get a full linux distro working.
[Gen9 Android Development] sirduke989:
Just as a quick update I have fixed the 10 image limit so now the limit would be what fits on the screen and I am working on getting flashing of a new kernel working. I expect to have 0.3 posted this evening (us).

is it possible to use this with the CWM of Letama ?
[Gen9 Android Development] sirduke989:
Not without some modification. My boot menu is still using the loop back devices. Letama is welcome to modify my bootmenu to be compatable with his if he would like, the only changes I made in the initramfs so far are in /init and /etc/mountpoints
[Gen9 Android Development] szanalmas:
The toflash menu is a little bit buggy. I'm formatting the system partition successfully... :)
[Gen9 Android Development] sirduke989:
Yep, it currently does not work. I suspect that the issue is because it is trying to flash over the kernel that is running.

Lately I have been trying to compile the wifi drivers for Ubuntu 11.10 and once that is working I will have a good reason to want to switch kernels on the fly.

Hi i'm switching to dualboot from microsd card and i need to uninstall this dual boot i figure if i flash the android zimage and initramfs.cpio.lzo with the versions from the rooted android image i am using my system should be stock enough to get the plasma linux booting from the microsd card. I hope.

Unfortunately ubuntu is fairly poor with respect to a touchscreen. The QT / KDE plasma environment looks like a better fit with a touch screen. (Scroll bars are not touch friendly and the Tool box in the gimp is a nightmare) with an external keyboard and mouse it is pretty much a netbook but not a good one it freezes too often.
[Gen9 Android Development] frenchgege:
Hi sirduke,

Is the multiboot project continued?

I got :

Support of HDD and automatic FLASH.

Regards
[Gen9 Android Development] frenchgege:
Hi,

UBUNTU : I solved my problem with HDD model !..

I moded my multiboot initramfs file for my 80G9 HDD Turbo with 1GB RAM, and now I got :

_Support of HDD, I can now store lot of images on HDD.

(Ubuntu loads very fast!)

_Complete path shown in the menu.

_Ability to flash a new kernel when switching images.

_When I select an image :

If the line in the menu is bright green I can boot new image without flashing.

If the line in the menu is orange I'll probably have to flash before loading new image.

..

To do that I compare the size of the zImage files. (Perhaps it would be best to use md5sum, or to retrieve kernel version...)

I am asked twice, if I want to flash : First time to allow copy of the files in

the directory "toflash", and after reboot to really flash)

I tested various images without problem.

_I can start another init than the default one...

Pre-requisite :

_Two new folders : (path not mandatory, but best in /data)

backUPD=/data/local/backupUPD

lastUPD=/data/local/lastUPD

In backUPD I store à compatible and reliable : image file, initramfs and zImage.

(To do manually first time!! The initramfs will be this one, naturally...)

In lastUPD we can find a copy of initrams and Zimage files of the last successful flash done with this version of multiboot.

First time the folder is empty...

_Images (without kernel) can be stored in (Not very interesting for HDD users.., but you can)

"/data/local/"

"/data/media/"

"/mnt/storage/imgboot/"

_The images with or without initrams and Zimage are stored in sub-folder of IMGLOC3

"/mnt/storage/imgboot/**/"

If a file called modinit is present in the sub-folder, it will replace the default init after switch root.

NOTA :

_The new initramfs.cpio.lzo is never flashed!!

only the zImage in subfolder can be copied to the directory "toflash", the initramfs is always the one of backUPD

_I tested, and currently use it, on my 80G9 turbo HDD with 1GB ram and I have no problems...

Should work on 101G9... But not tested

I think works on other models but not tested !!!!.

BEFORE GOING FURTHER :

1) Very important for me : Before going further, and continue to post in this thread, I need the agreement of sirduke989, since this work is continued from his excellent one.

2) What I can do if sirduke989 agree :

For now I don't want do post the init ramfs.cpio.lzo , I'm afraid to brick some tablets.

But if somebody (developers only) is interested in participating, I can send my source files.

(Sorry but draft files, with lot of annotations in French...)

Only developers !!

Two files moded : init and mountpoints

One file changed : Changed abcbox version.

Only one problem : I don't know how to display more than 10 lines (AUI)

Earlier I downgraded my Telus Desire HD from software 3.xx to 1.xx successfully. I know that because I did not have sense 3.0 anymore. I then proceeded to root the device it said everything went ok. After all that, I go on to boot and the HTC logo shows up and the fades off into a black screen and just hangs there.

I tried going into recovery but it shows the HTC logo and then switches to a black screen.

Anyone have any suggestions on how the fix this?

So, I have an Amaze and like it enough. Don't love it, don't hate it. I like it. I want something new though and I am tired of waiting for ICS to drop. I am thinking I want to buy a Galaxy Nexus. Am I crazy? Has anyone here used the Galaxy Nexus and went back to the Amaze? Or is something else that will work on 4G with T-Mobile coming out really soon? Carrier branded or not.

I played around with my friend's Window's phone on 7.5 and it worked really nicely. I couldn't find any "high-end" Windows phones that I liked that work on T-Mobile 4G. Maybe I should stay away from those. Thoughts about a WM phone or the Galaxy Nexus?

edit: yes, you are crazy for wanting a overpriced phone that is already outdated lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
No you're not crazy man, Just don't switch to a new device just because it has a newer Android OS on it

and lol whenever i see the One S I see an Amaze with a new processor and screen

edit: Widows Phones are fun, I have an HTC Radar and can say that was a great phone, but its just too boring for my tastes, and the lack of classic emulators was disturbing, my HTC Inspire with similar specs ran an NES emulator better than the Radar
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I was thinking about for a week. And finally made my decision. Keeping my amaze. The galaxy nexus is sexy but the amaze WILL get ics aosp and sense versions EVENTUALLY. Just be patient. I was looking at galaxy nexus on eBay and they're sooo cheap I was so tempted to click "buy it now". But the amaze is simply better except for the screen (which is arguable) and operating system (which we will get eventually) and probably running smoother than the galaxy nexus.

I'm keeping my amaze until around October :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
much better camera(s), much better processor, much better os, much much better build, thinner, lighter, much better screen.. I could go on lol, its definitely worth the upgrade (if you have the money). also all the accessories HTC is making for the ONE series is worth the upgrade.

If you don't have money to waste id stick with the amaze though since its not a bad device at all really. im probably upgrading to the Nokia Lumia 900 though I miss me some WP7

edit: how does nes run on wp7? is it playable

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

the galaxy nexus looks amazing, the camera is a deal breaker for me though =l
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
NES runs ok on the Radar, about 3/4 speed with the sound on, it should run the same on any WP7 phone with a 1Ghz processor and 512 RAM

and lol i read that the S4 smokes the tegra 3s so I can give you that, and I don't factor OS revisions when I look at newer phones simply because Android = portable most of the time nor accessories either. I just look at build quality and specs and work from there, for the longest time i saw "1.5 dual core, 1 GB RAM, aluminium build, no AT&T 3.5G bands"

gonna inject a lil bias here: I HATE pentile screens, everything looks like its through a fishnet to me lol, and samsung scared me away from any AMOLED screens thanks to their crazy color saturation

camera: More megapixels are great but how good the image sensor is is what counts, Amaze is better in both regards

Edit: call me crazy but I like a slightly heavier phone, helps give me a sense of how durable a phone is, even if it has nothing to do with durability
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
Yeah, the lumia 900 should handle it better. RAM doesn't really matter in WP7. i still would prefer 1gb though

benchmarks don't really mean anything. if the hardware isn't optimized for the software then the benchmarks wont be great. I would pick the one x over the one s anyday I don't like aluminum phones. I like polycarbonate plastic much more and the one x has that. i read somewhere that the one s will come with both though.

yeah pentile is horrible, i had the atrix. but, the pentile on the one S isn't noticeable at the slightness. htc did something, they wouldn't make it have a bad screen considering everyone hates the pentile on moto devices.

the one s, and one x have the same camera. the amaze and one s both have 8mp, but the one s has a MUCH better sensor, and a dedicated image chip.. i don't know what you're talking about lol, the camera flys past the amaze. have you seen the sample shots?

edit: megapixels count definitely, it depends on how you use them though. the way Nokia is on the pureview is great. will be the best camera on the mobile phone market. the one series will probably be in 2nd place and leave the amaze in 3rd
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
You're not crazy man. Lately I've been thinking about this too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
lol sorry stratax, I was refering to the galaxy nexus with the whole camera comment, I've been really letting my cell phone knowledge slip there after getting the amaze so other than the bare basics I really havent looked into the One series all that heavily, and i thought the one s only had the aluminium shell that was hardened with some sort of high voltage process

and I'm not saying that megapixels aren't all that important, I'm saying there are other factors that contribute to how good a camera sensor is, compare the same photo across all kinds of phones with the same number of megapixels and you'll see a clear difference in the quality is all I'm saying

that nokia phone is rediculous though
[HTC Amaze 4G] AttachedSilver:
Nah your not crazy, I had an amaze with a custom rom but they weren't anything special but a better stock experience. I recently got a galaxy nexus and I love it. HD screen, quality 5MP camera, and ICS :D plus it has a bigger screen with on screen keys which I like better. Never thought of going back to Amaze, especially with all the roms, mods, & customization but its all depends on your needs
[HTC Amaze 4G] tedya:
HaHaHa. Is it ever about needs? Nope. For me, at least, it is about getting something new and in some cases, having a phone that not many others in town will have. Before we had 3G/4G on AT&T and TMO, I was buying a new phone every 3 months. Mainly Nokia N series. Remember those bad boys? Buy it, swap out the SIM and go. Now with the different 3G/4G bands on the carriers, it makes it more difficult to just buy a new phone and be happy. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, 2G only, etc. Without fail, the "other" carrier has the phone I want. Then when I switch to get that phone, the "other" carrier I just switched from gets another phone I want. It is never ending and I still to this day have the itch to buy a new phone every couple of months. I swear, I need phone purchasing/carrier switching rehab.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
I've had people offer their GNexus for my Amaze and I couldn't justify the trade. The GNexus has a better screen and it's a Google phone and all, but the cons of that phone are too much for me to handle (no microSD slot, terrible camera, etc).

yeah, the sensor is one of the most important things if you have a decent number of pixels. if you had a badass sensor with a vga camera it would look a bit funny lol. speaking of which, the galaxy nexus has crap mp count and sensor xD fail flagship device imo

[HTC Amaze 4G] WellTrainedVC:
Owned both the Galaxy Nexus & the Amaze. They are both nice phones. However, the Amaze is just a great phone. I do have my complaints such as the battery and the fact that I am on my 4th Amaze (2 would not charge/overheating problem straight out of box, 3rd lost).

The Amaze has got to be one of the most underrated phones I know about.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dgwphotography:
I have both the Amaze and the Nexus. Unless Samsung changes how they manufacture their phones, I will never buy another Samsung phone again.

I had my Nexus for about a month when It started exhibiting the famous charging issue. I sent it in for warranty repair (ha), and got it back three weeks later with a note that it had suffered water damage, and therefore my warranty was void. Considering the fact that the phone was never wet, this had to be a bogus claim. I tried correcting this to no avail - it's obvious that Samsung doesn't stand behind their products.

I was able to pick up an Amaze for $69 through Target, and I'm glad I'm back with HTC. The build of the phone is so much better than either the Nexus or the GS II that I have owned, and the camera is the best camera I've seen in a smartphone.

The only negative I have regarding the Amaze is Sense - I would love a stable vanilla ROM that has everything working....

But I digress - I would not recommend going from the Amaze to the Nexus to anyone.
