[General Questions and Answers] imheroldman:
Check out the chef central section under android. There are a lot of great people working on making development accessible.

For a pure AOSP ROM you are going to have a bit more work, but be rewarded in the end. There is also cyanogenmod and other custom distributions you can build from source and modify.

If you are familiar with C and Java programming you can dig into the actual development more by writing apps or changing source code. If you don't you may want to start on that road. Other wise you will be basically cutting and pasting from everyone else, which doesn't get you any credit.

Themes are also a good place to start. There are lots of good guides in the theme section and people are willing to help if you ask nicely and appropriately.

I have done a bit of this foot work and come to the conclusion, I need to learn programming then come back to source. It is overwhelming to take on an entire operating system in a foreign language, especially when that language has to be perfect to function!

Good luck in your endeavors. Feel free to hit me up for the little knowledge I have!

But! where to learn

First i want to learn the basics of Rom
[General Questions and Answers] imheroldman:
are you familiar with Java, C and C++? These are going to be very useful in understanding the "codes" as that is what they are written in. You are also going to have to build AOSP specific for your device, which will require adding your device to the device tree and extracting the necessary drivers and files that are specific to your device. Cyanogenmod has many devices already added to their github and you would simply clone the folder for your device, then build AOSP source and issue make using the device specific folder.

THIS is a helpful tool, and yes it will compile pure AOSP as well.

THIS is also a very helpful tutorial, and you can modify instructions to work for Gingerbread.
[General Questions and Answers] Kasual52e:
If you just want to learn to build and modify the source start with Cyanogenmod build from their source first. You can also build the kernel if you choose but that is a bit more complicated. After you have both of those building without errors then start making changes that you want to see.

The CM Wiki has some good info http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_from_source

if your bootloader is "unlock allow: no" (like me :( ) you must contact jinxxx13, he can unlock the phone "completely" for 10 or 15€ or 20$ . but you can flash without... don't try kernel if your bootloader locked : :eek:

So my question is... I have Amon Ra Recovery 2.3 and I've heard that there have been updates but I have been unsuccessful in finding them. Am I losing my mind or is there an update somewhere that's been hidden from me... I hope someone has the answer for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
No, the actual Amon Ra has not been updated since 2.3

There is Amon Ra style recovery that is someone else taking over the project and adding their own stuff.

Personally I suck with 2.3 it just works and there isn't much else I need from recovery.

This is just a quick 30 minutes port, i saw a tutorial on how to port LeWa to CM7, but it failed actually so i screwed a bit around with the files and got it booting, I'm not gonna continue any development on this rom, so don't ask me for anything, I have broodROM to take care of already XD

couldn't decide to take the ROM tag or the JOKE tag, since it actually runs i chose for the ROM tag

If you're really bored atm this might be fun to test, else don't even waste your time on it :p, I actually did no effort at all to make it bugfree, just wanted to get it running

What is not working, almost everything that is needed for daily use :P

To get past the lockscreen you need to press the home key and then tap menu and back a few times, only this way you will unfreeze the screen. So this is just a fun test, since it sucks so hard to actually use as rom (because of all the bugs, not the rom itself)

Installation:

1. install arco's recovery

2. install the zip in recovery

3. wipe /data and /cache and boot

if you want some laughter you could hold logcat next to it, the errors list is humongous.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
I think this LeWa ROM could be a good port, it's has a nice MIUI like design and is extremely lite,

I got it booting pretty easily, so I think a actual port could be made, just like MIUI but of course with the known bugs of CM7!

I'm starting to hate the fact that the i9001 doesn't even have proper AOSP support more and more, If broodROM would be built on AOSP it would be ****ing great :D, samsung really screwed up their baseroms (if you only look at rom size and ram usage)

I am going to a venue next weekend and I'm quite sure my prime will run out of battery, I can't get to a plug socket at the venue but I can charge it in the car however using the charger cable and a lighter socket adaptor it doesn't seem to charge.

How can I charge my tablet when I'm out, is there any solar option or an extra booster battery pack or something.

I am also looking for an alternative charger for when I'm at home because the cable is so small I can't have the tablet charging on my desk where I want it because the cables too short.

First download the kernel for Active, then download the ROM itself.

Place the ROM .zip file on your SDcard. Then install kernel via fastboot.

Enter Recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache and make factory reset and install zip from sdcard. Pick the ROM .zip file and follow the instructions.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Mr Groch:
I have upgraded my WIFI 16GB Flyer to HC using this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358758

Now I have:

HBOOT 6.11.1111

RADIO 3822.10.08.07_M

I was nable to get GPS working on official ROM 3.55.1114.31, so I decided to try

flashing LeeDroid 4.3 and after that Cool3D Honey v4. Also with no result

I have tried using FasterFix app and next AGPS patch from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287941 (google no ssl version)

I've installed GPS Test app, go outside and have it on for 1 hour. Always 0 satelites in view, and all timers and clocks in this app also shows 00:00:00, only compass (heading) works.

What should I do to get my GPS back working? Radio version is bad, or what?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glitchsta:
Typical HC behavior, I can only get my GPS to work in GB...it works some but drops all the time in HC...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
its actually not typical behavior for it not to lock at all, I've tried just about every HC ROM and they all work with gPS, but it will lose lock and cycle at times. So it works fine for me for typical use like weather, Google Map etc. Won't work reliably for navigation since it loses lock at random times. So you see statements from people saying GPS doesn't work in HC. That's incorrect, it works, but it won't work in a continuous mode.

Try this, make sure you are connected to wifi. Download and install GPS status app from the market.

turn on GPS (hardware) and make sure you tick all the Google location options on in the settings.

Open the google map app and hits the my location button. wait and see if the locations set by GPS message shows, (about 15 seconds)

if it shows or now, after about 20 seconds open up the GPS status app and see if you have any satellites. If not, open the app menu / tools then hit the reset AGPS option, then the download AGPS.

Now watch the screen for satellite, within a couple of minutes it should lock.

During all this, make sure you keep the screen active. don't let the device go to screen off , sleep.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jacobbones:
Nothing that you do will make the GPS keep a lock on a flyer running anything HC. I tried it all, absolutely nothing works. Patches, builds, etc..

You have to go back to GB if you want gps to work.

I had my flyer installed in my cars dash and needed HC as it worked alot better than GB in that setting.

For whatever reason my View that I bought for normal home use Keeps GPS lock and has zero gps issues running stock HC. So I was forced to swap the flyer and view. Hasn't dropped gps lock once using navigation when driving.

Hi guys

after searching in this forum i found no similar issue to my sensation and i have decided to ask on a post ....

i have htc sensation 4g Tmobile (or maybe had ha ha ah ).

the phone is with me since November 2011, and i am flashing Roms here in the xda with no such issue never .before one month my screen was damaged and i have decided to send him to one of the labs for repair, and they did replace my screen and it worked well .after 3 weeks i flashed ARHD 6.6.3 and it worked for few hours and then went dead and i mean can't go either to recovery hboot fastboot even my PC does not recognize it .

i must say that when connecting it to the cahrger the orange led turn on for few seconds and then goes off thats it the phone stays off and sometimes it vibrate few times and the screen is totaly black no light at all .

is that mean that my device is bricked? or it could be related to the screen replacement

appreciate any help

Yes..I think there's something going on with the custom firmware/kernel or whatever we're putting on. I don't think it's the ROM since people with different ROM is having problems with it.

The thing is..all these are happening when the phone actually booted up and then stopped working. Not like it couldn't boot up after attempting to update ROM or install because it was interrupted half way.

So something is messed up and killing the phone. Or is it a hardware thing that many people are experiencing?
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
The thing is with the firmware....its not like its a test firmware leak anymore. The 3.32 firmware haw been released by HTC as part of their official ICS upgrade.

[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
wrong thread... oops.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cvflowe:
First let me begin by saying, Asus got a lot of "new" customers because of the awesome features of the prime.

If I was Asus CEO I would stop building the prime "as is" and offer existing owners either a free trade-in voucher for the 300 or either a $500 credit towards the upcoming 700. I would forget about this dongle crap and fire the person who thought of it. I would replace the 200 back with the plastic (Only if it fixes the problems)

My reasons why:

1) The dongle didn't address the main problem and that is poor WFI reception.

2) The dongle while appreciated is ugly, it doesn't fit in existing car tablet holders etc.. Can you imagine if you bought a Lexus and the XM radio couldn't get reception and they told you to put this banana on top of your car. yes I compared to a Lexus because its a premium products compared to the competitors tablets.

3) I would be afraid to lose my new customers that I have gained. Let's face it would you seriously recommend this to a friend without telling them everything?

4) The 200 is a "good" product that is almost a great product. WFI/BLUETOOTH issues. Is simply unacceptable! That is the foundation of a good tablet.

In closing, while I appreciate Asus attempts to fix the problems, software updates, dongles etc. They have only done it with a band-aid and they need a surgeon. Please don't get me wrong I really do like the prime after 2x C10's and finally a C30 it is again good but not great.

Okay, just thought I would put that out there, your thoughts?

I'm sorry I forgot that I live in a free country and entitled to an opinion. I find it odd to be attacked by a New Yorker, go figure.

I'M simply saying that Asus made a good product that can be better. It seems to me they are making the same mistake that HP made years ago, they had all of these new and exciting innovations but was lacking in quality. Today they have been reduced to $65 printers, while Apple who makes quality products and can charge a premium buck.

Oh bye they way, Apple has recalled products make sure you check out there stock today, Jawbone has recently done it, and GM on the Chevy Volt.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandaball:
Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but this isn't the US, there's no First Amendment or anything of that sort here. Many have said similar things before, why not post in one of those rant threads rather than create a new one?

Also, what you're suggesting will get the CEO voted out in an EGM. No company has offered a free upgrade or a huge discount for an upgrade over an important feature that's not working up to par. If an important feature is entirely not working, then that's a different story. However, wifi still works, albeit with poorer range and speed, but that's not grounds to ask for a nearly free upgrade. Apple merely provided bumper cases for Antennagate which cost it next to nothing. You're asking Asus to shell out $300-$500 for hundreds of thousands of Prime owners. See the difference? Shareholders would dump Asus stock in a hurry if that happened. And that's also why you aren't the CEO.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mubble:
I'm sorry what?! I would love to see you present your case in front of the Asus board of Directors.

Gentlemen, as we know, the Asus Prime's return rate falls well within the accepted percentage for our products. We also know that demand outstripped supply. Therefore, my suggestion is that we stop making it. Not only that but we'll offer people the chance of returning all 80,000 we've sold to-date and give them $500 towards the TF-700.

Asus only make around $80-100 profit on each Prime sold. Why would you ever think this would be a good business idea?!

So Asus decide to adhere to their slogan of unrivalled customer care by addressing the GPS concerns. They offer a free dongle to cure the issue. And you'd respond by sacking the emplyees who you told to solve the problem.

Sorry, but... wow!

Really, I'm glad I am not CEO. today most desire for mammonism and a desire to please shareholders do not do what is right.

As a leader I was wondering if I missed something because some companies are offering refunds or exchanges for faulty products. Apple is currently doing it for bad WFI and yes, Asus is giving (in some cases), full refunds. Wouldn't a voucher be cheaper and a way of keeping your customer?

In closing, I do not take for granted what Asus has done. In fact, thank you Asus.
