Hey cashmundy,

I hadn't built gingerbread before. When you build, what does your build.prop say for modversion? I am trying to build/pull 7.2 final, but I am instead building a nightly of just 7, I believe.

For sure the patches aren't working on the 7.2 final of encore or your jars. Which can only mean they have indeed been made from the wrong ROM.
[Vibrant General] mateorod:
Okay, I made a working patch and so there is a package in both Botbrew repos for cm7.2final.

Let me know how it goes, I might continue to tinker with the patch, so there is a chance that I will update this package sometime over the next week.
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
I didn't get the usual xda notification emails of activity in this thread (checked that am still subscribed) so am just now seeing your last message.

Cyanogenmod building information is pretty lame, and Android is not much better. When we can finally ditch it in favor of Debian, ah, the relief...

Anyways, I figured out a way to switch to 7.2 final. Hopefully not the best way, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it with repo, other than maybe re-initing the whole source-tree with -b gb-release-7.2, I edited the .repo/manifest.xml file as follows:

<default revision="gb-release-7.2"

remote="github" />

(the default-revision was just "gingerbread").

It discarded a bunch of commits, so maybe did the Right Thing, we shall see. I had to go back and re-edit two files in vendor/cyanogenmod to delete all devices but vibrantmtd (speeds things up a lot, saves a bunch of space). ... now having to (re)learn enough git so reposync() won't wipe my changes. Repo is repeatedly hanging at 99% while syncing projects (happens a lot), so it could be a while before I have any useful info.
[Vibrant General] mateorod:
Thanks for looking into this.

I have tried pulling the gb-release-7.2 source. I just checked the manifest.xml and it does have gb-release-7.2 on it.

However, the ROM I built still has 7 in the title and build.prop. i asked around my device forum, and others were still building rc1, for instance, unbeknownst to them. So there is an issue, although I bet it is a user one.

I'm with you though. 9/10 build guides are just user rehashes, and the official ones are all from 2010 or 11.

I see people with the problem, but so far no solution. I was able to make a patch, but it took a bunch of manual work, and I would like to compare it to a PDroid-enabled build.

frustrating...thanks!
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
Couldn't get it to build, decided to restart from scratch, slow connection and netbook, eventually I'll have some news.
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
I did a fresh pull, this time with repo init -b gb-release-7.2, no hacking the manifest. I did a few hacks, as described in

http://slightlymorethanworthless.blogspot.com/2011/05/remove-unwanted-devices-from.html

to remove all devices but vibrantmtd, other than that nothing.

The build is still failing as before (see attached for details). It looks to me like an error in the codebase, not like something caused by my running Fedora or the device-removal hacks. But I'm an old c hacker; I like Objective c and think c++ is a mess, so I could easily be wrong.

So I give up for now on this branch, unless you think it looks like it is worth looking into further.

I did get a build back when I did a repo init without a -b arg and got whatever they were dishing up as the default branch, gingerbread I think. Note that, at least in /build, there is also a cm-7.2.0 branch which could be tried.
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
I've kept on with building attempts, and have pulled cm9 to build also. It appears the problem is that Android

When I did a successful cm7 nightly build, it was with Fedora 16, with gcc 4.6. Fedora 17 has gcc-4.7

So, let me get this straight, it's not that there is anything wrong with 4.7, it's just that it can't build android, so rather than fix the android code, the solution is to use either an old or a very old compiler. That is just phenomenally lame. I remember years ago a period in which it was thought building linux with a certain gcc version might be risky, but I have always built with the latest gcc with no problems. But I guess android is *special*.

I guess I'll be setting up a vm with obsolete software just to build android.

http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/d84c2d5904ea8dd2
[Vibrant General] mateorod:
AOKP Build 40 packages are in the repo for both Google Play versions of Botbrew.

The packages support pdroid, the v6, or both.

Look for version 12 in the repo, that is the current packages for build 40.

And cashmundy, yeah, I saw that Cyanogen had directed everyone to quit trying to support the latest linaro chain as well. I guess that he doesn't think it is stable enough. I do know that they were having a heck of a time getting the 3.0 kernel to compile with the 4.7.

Who knows?
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
I was able to build CM9 with Fedora 17 (gcc 4.7.0-5) but it wouldn't bring android up. I could adb in and tried to reboot recovery, but the CM people have killed root, so I nearly had to Odin to stock because it really didn't want to get into recovery (took about 20 boot cycles to do it).

I've found some of the permission management code in CM7, and it isn't in CM9. I'm really thinking I need to get away from CyanogenMod. What's your favorite in completely open-source roms (matereod, anyone)? AOKP, or...?
[Vibrant General] testomat:
What about milestone 6 of aokp for vibrant ? Is it supported ?
[Vibrant General] mateorod:
I gotta be honest, I don't think I will be adding roms to the support list anymore. Anything that has been in use I maintain by user request, but now that I put out the Auto-Patcher, there isn't any real need for me to maintain a whole bunch of packages for different devices.

Follow the link in my sig. We just went beta, and the program can now be run in Linux, OSX and Windows (using Cygwin). So anyone who wants PDroid can use the exact same tool I use on my pc and make their own patch.

I used Botbrew as a stop-gap to get these framework patches out. There is a whole bunch of upside to distributing these kind of patches through package management. But the ideal way to do it is to have maintainers for each device, someone who uses the software and can tell when it is time to replace it.

I did this to get the work out there, but I think that the Auto-Patcher can better take care of outside devices than I can.

Now if someone wanted to maintain a Botbrew repo for vibrant, that would probably be ideal as far a package management goes. The benefits are there. Instead of a bunch of people each making patches, only one maintainer would have to do so. The rest of the user base could simply count on the program working like any other.

If someone wants to take up the mantle for vibrant, let me know...other than that, go ahead and use the auto-patcher. it's pretty awesome all by itself.

Thanks guys...for real.
[Vibrant General] mateorod:
Well, my man closedcircuit sent me the framework files, so there is indeed support for AOKP Milestone 6 in both Botbrew repos.

If you are a first-timer, remember to install repository-mateorod or you won't see the packages you need.

All the most recent packages end in 13.

Also, zeppelinrox updated the smali edits for the v6 supercharger to include some new features...these new edits are included in these most recent packages.

They're syncing now, should be available for you in the next 15 mins or so....
[Vibrant General] testomat:
Thank you very much !! I will try the auto patcher.
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
Back after a long detour building roms

OK, I finally got both cm7.2 and AOKP (ics branch) built and running. It was a process (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1777727 for notes). AOKP has no sign of CM7 permission management; maybe I will reach the point of being able to forward-port it from CM7, as I like to have both CM7 permission management and PDroid running.

Anyone know if there are source patches lying around I could apply to the AOKP source? It seems like creating a branch and patching the source is the right thing to do if I am making a custom rom, as opposed to patching binaries, and probably essential if I start tinkering with the permission management code.

I've got PDroid installed via BotBrew for the time being: the AOKP Milestone 6 patch appears to work with my home-rolled version.

One thing that would be very useful would be a privacy testing app which would use every permission and attempt to get as much info as possible and then display it. This way one could see how well whatever privacy-scheme one is using actually works.

Or should i use the commands which you posted ??

i am confused.

There are also the tools gingerBreak an super user which one is better.

Recovery is ClockworkMod. I can still change to 4ext touch right.

I only want to root to use some apps. And to have a better battery life with juice defender. Maybe i will flash a tom but i am not sure of that yet.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
do you mean ginger break and superoneclick ? if so go with super one click.

Super user (su) is the name for the actual program that you need on your device to enable root to be achieved.

There is no point of getting S-OFF without then also getting root, root will open will open so many new possibilities.

So basically I know the basics of flashing a rom but it IS different for every device and so I'm asking you guys. Could one of you explain to me/link to a guide of

-Rooting

-installing clockworkmod

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
I am using a plantronics voyager pro +, but can't seem to get a good connection with any rom. I used to get better performance with sense roms vs. ASOP roms, but now when I'm using my BT headset streaming music, it cuts in and out almost every 30-60 seconds. I tried reflashing Magnolia, and I am still having the issue. Is there anyone else having bluetooth issues, and is there any ROMS better at bluetooth performance?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
I would say a stock sense or a rom based from stock would be a good bet. When the Bluetooth cuts out is the phone in your pocket or kind of far from the earpiece?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
I was at the park today, and had the phone sitting on the ground next to me. It usually happens when its in my pocket.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
I have the same problem with Bluetooth if its in my pocket that's why I asked. Occasionally it would happen when it was a few feet away but not often. A better Bluetooth device may make a difference though.

I have 3 Bluetooth headsets that work perfect. At the gym I can leave my phone at a weight station and walk all over the gym listening to music.

I use bt on a set of lg bt ear buds at work all day and never have had any issues on any cm, cs, or ukb rom. I think if your having connection issues with Bluetooth it might be in the antenna not the rom, I've dropped my phone a lot and think most of my data and bt connection issues are a result, because if my data won't connect all I have to do is squeeze the bottom of the phone and poof ! magic lol.

Whenever you are stuck its always worth looking through the android reference for the classes you are working with. You'll almost always find a solution there :)

ok my next question is.. I want this to update every 30 seconds. I thought about using a Thread.sleep(10000);, but i realize this would not work because android would detect it being an infinite loop. So how could I create some kind of a thread i believe its called to poll the timezone every 10 seconds?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_R:
Where exactly are you trying to set the text view? Is it in a while loop?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexander7567:
no.. the textview simply shows the timezone. I live on the timezone line and i never know what time it really is.. So i was making a app and soon a widget that shows me what timezone I'm in. It's just a learning app for me.

So i need it to poll the timezone every 30 seconds and update the textview to the current time zone.

btw.. Looked at your app and i think its really neat that you can make a game like that.. Did you have to make all the graphics or what?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_R:
I am guessing you are making the text view in the onCreate method.

Do this:

Before your activity's onCreate method, make three class members like so

private TextView textView;
private TimeZone timeZone;
private Timer timer;

Then in the onCreate method do this:

timer = new Timer();
textView = new TextView(this);
timeZone = TimeZone.getDefault();
TimerTask timerTask = new TimerTask()
{

@Override
public void run()
{
textView.setText(timeZone.getDisplayName());
}
};
timer.schedule(timerTask, 0, 30000);

Then when you wish to stop the timer do this (in the onDestroy method maybe?)

timer.cancel();

I hope you are familiar with Java's Anonymous Inner Classes. If not, I'd highly recommend first reading and getting familiar with the various Java features and techniques before continuing Android.
