still issues

thanks for that, i have just gone completely stock, then rooted, flashed cm7, now back to cm 9, and still nothing. yet cm7 and stock can find all the music n videos on my external sd fine with the native built-in music/video apps... once i install cm9 they don't "see" it or recognize it... tho when i go thru astro file manager i can see it just fine... *shrug*

Google Play Music did not find my songs despite following their instructions. Winamp & the music player did.

So did Album Art Grabber.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hnldriver77:
Did a clean install and wiped twice everything I could via cwm recovery... seems to be fine now - took me 3 hours to get back to a working stock... think my phone doesn't like the stock now after being on cm lol... anyways its working fine now... thanks to you guys on all your input... found it was a bad micro sd format when I formatted it (micro sd) from cm recovery the first time I installed cm9 on entropys first build... :banghead: shoulda thought of that earlier...

Some Tips and Tweaks for running Ubunut/Pinguy

To copy and paste inside terminal, you don't have to right-click. You can use CTRL+Shift+C and CTRL+Shift+v, as opposed to CTRL+C and CTRL+V.

To turn off Unity [not included in Pinguy], you can long in as Classic in the bottom right hand corner of log-in screen.

To install Android Utility created by Tommytomatoe, the cool way:

Install git

sudo apt-get install git

Install Android-Utility

git clone git://github.com/tommytomatoe/Android-Utility.git -b linux-au ~/android-utility

That method will ensure you the latest version of AU.

If you Use Ubuntu One , here is a little tool to help you keep track of your space left:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rye/ubuntuone-extras

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-indicator

For a good system monitor try out htop. Open terminal and enter the following (Thanks Johninlex for the suggestion)

sudo apt-get install htop

Awesome possum!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tommytomatoe:
Super guide and it will help many peeps.for sure!

One thing to be careful on. Windows 7, by default, is case insensitive. So cross linking windows partition to Linux might potentially cause issues if you create a file/folder in Linux that differ only in case. When you boot back into windows I am not sure how it will behave. I know it is possible to make Windows kernel accept case sensitive file naming.

In case someone will comment, the ntfs file system is case sensitive. It is Windows that is not by default. Also, kernel upgrades and .net framework upgrades will change you back to case insensitivity.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] broodplank1337:
At first I thought this topic was placed in the wrong section, but it seems actually possible to do this hehe, awesome work!, won't be trying it myself but it's a really nice tutorial!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Leoisright:
Yeah, I wasn't too sure which place would be the best place for this so I asked a mod. He suggested here because it is setting up the system for android developement.

Plans are to take the third post and make another tutorial for everything git. To make sure your system will compile it properly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Leoisright:
Thanks for the heads up. I will look in to this and post any findings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] O.a.T.:
Believe I had tried the java jdk and jre links you posted a few days ago when I initially tried to migrate to Ubuntu 12.04, but then they didn't work for me. Did you use these successfully? Found some others that did work for me and am now successfully building on Ubuntu 12.04 with Java 6. LMK if you need these.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Leoisright:
Yeah, I have been able to compile successfully. It gave me an error at first saying I was using java 1.6?? And needed 1.6?? But then just continued to compile. I will have to say the whole java thing was the trickiest part. But she's been solid so far.

One thing I could caution with this tutorial is ssd space for Linux. If putting /home in the 55gb space, you will run low on space when trying to compile and keep multiple devices from the build environment. Since the open source ecosystem is such a large project and only getting larger, by the time you have 3-4 compiled ur looking at a full /home partition. Easy solution would be to slide those files over to the hdd folder that's been symlinked.

Edit: scratch the last about running low on space. Digging in to it more, I found most of the space taken was with relinux when making a custom distro.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] O.a.T.:
I may not have stuck with those ones long enough. Don't really have to worry about the rest though as I am still building on my somewhat old AMD quad via Oracle VM VB. Still, not too bad as I am able to sync/rebuild, including the kernel, in ~30min, after of course the first very time consuming sync and build.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ivanox1972:
Hi, I have notebook with ssd 64gb and hard disc 250gb... Now, xp is on hd (it will stay and win 7 on ssd- I want to put ubuntu 12.04 there...

Generally, installing is not problem for me, I done it many times...

I am in doubt about trim and alignment of partitions...

I see many things about this on net, but nothing seems authoritative enough for me...

Also to go with 64bit or 32bit (I have, of course, 4GB ram)...

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Leoisright:
From everything Ive read, TRIM support is only for SSD drives. You also need to make sure your SSD supports trim. Depending on the age, the newer ones seem to support it. From my understanding it deletes the file rather than writes over it allowing for a better performance the older the device gets.

Here is another site to look over TRIM and really what it's about. Found Here.

As far as the Ram is concerned, here is a great site to find memory limitations for windows.

Check resources Found Here

Alignment: Check this site out about how it will affect the ssd. I've found this site rather informative when trying to understand the SSD tweaks. Found Here. I am glad you brought up alignment though, it will be something to add to the OP.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aGoGo:
I'm having an issue with my friend's GN,

He suffers from random reboots which automatically restore the phone information to a specific date in the past.

I tried the toolkit, manual root and unlock but no luck.

the bootloader itself relocks itself right after i try the "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command.

I cant flash CWM permanently.

Can this be the recovery partition kicking in? I tried renaming it and I didn't get an error.

I managed to root the device, but then I cant install any programs from the Market, I was trying to get Root Explorer to work to ensure that the recovery is renamed or removed.

Whenever I flash the bootloader to primela03 it goes back primekk15.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
Is this a GSM GNex (i9250)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aGoGo:
i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
To me it sound like you actually never unlocked the bootloader in the first place..

Edit: To be more constructive... I have no idea what "the toolkit" does or how it works.

To unlock your bootloader you boot into it and run "fastboot oem unlock". That's the whole process. I personally don't see the value of a toolkit obscuring that process.

Unlocking your bootloader will cause your phone to factory reset and wipe everything on it. Have you done this? Have your phone asked you to confirm this? Did you click the volume-rockers to "yes" and then confirm with the power-button? And then, did the phone get wiped?

If you cannot answer "yes" to every question asked above, you have not unlocked the bootloader. End of story.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlindWolf8:
When you boot the phone up there should also be an unlocked lock icon under the Google logo at the bottom of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aGoGo:
This is a wacky situation,

I tried using GNex toolkit 6 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310) and it never worked.

"fastboot oem unlock" unlocks the device, but the as soon as I try "fastboot reboot-bootloader" it goes back to it's locked state.

I tried flashing another bootloader right after I unlocked it, but it reverted to the old one after rebooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aGoGo:
Did that, but as soon as I reboot the lock icon goes away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heartblasts:
Strange
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeezNotes:
There is a file that will put the stock recovery back when you reboot. I'm not sure what else that file does but maybe that's your problem?

Going from memory, I think the process is unlock via fast boot, flash clockwork recovery, boot into recovery, flash super user, I also removed that recovery file at this stage via adb even though other directions have you do it later with root explorer. And that was it. If you do it the way others wrote it up (using root explorer) you'll have to reflash the recovery again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aGoGo:
Here's what I just did:

1- Unlocked the recovery

2- Booted insecure image

3- pushed superuser

4- installed root explorer, ROM Manager via adb

5- in root explorer I deleted recovery-from-boot.p from /system and it came back then tried "adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p" and it's gone.

6- Tried downloading CWM from ROM manager and the phone reboots whenever it starts download and goes back to stock

rebooted and the damn thing still living in the past!!! even the recovery file is back!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeezNotes:
You have to go back in and re-apply the recovery. That file "recovery-from-boot.p" is like a "reset" file that puts the stock recovery back during the boot process. I suspect it may be re-locking your bootloader too, but this is just a guess.

After you do step 5, repeat steps 1 and 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
When you "Unlock the recovery," do you mean you flash a custom recovery or do you mean you unlock the *bootloader*? It's not the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derekwilkinson:
O_O

the only thing I can think of is a hardware problem is causing the device to do a hard reset every time you boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aGoGo:
I unlock and then flash or sometimes reboot another boot image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aGoGo:
Did that, the moment I reboot, everything goes back to normal :s

I'm also unable to wipe from the normal system settings, the phone reboots when we try that.

can it be related to this issue? http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/forum/rescue-squad/4093-data-not-wiping-cant-return-stock-3.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
If you have problems doing data wipe/factory reset, it's quite possible that storage is corrupted/failing. It may be whats causing all the random reboots and reverting to old info. Best to bring to a samsung center and make that warranty claim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeezNotes:
I'm not sure what you're doing wrong... but its something.

You shouldn't have to flash another boot loader. I'm not sure what you would gain from that with the phone being a nexus?

Flashing another recovery is necessary for flashing different roms, kernels, mods, root, etc.

If you are indeed flashing a different boot loader, may i ask why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Don't just delete the file recovery-from-boot.p, as there's one more file that can do bad things. It's called "install-recovery.sh" and is to be found within /system/etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Actually, don't delete either file.

Don't touch recovery-from-boot.p at all, and rename the sh.

If you want to be able to install otas in the future, renaming the patch file will break the MD5 check. The file is harmless if the sh file is out of commission.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aGoGo:
I'm trying another loader because nothing else works, the phone is stock and running 4.0.2. auto update causes it to crash and reboot.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
Sorry if this sounds obvious but try going back to your previous ROM/Kernel (from your backup) and checking again. As many others have reported different ROM/Kernel combinations have different effects on phones as each one is unique.

Sorry if I am stating the obvious!

I have this very annoying bug in Windows Phone 7. I wonder if anyone has any kind of work around for this:

"

Reverse proxy configured to use Certificate Based Authentication for Exchange Activesync

Exchange CAS servers configured for Basic Authentication for Exchange Activesync

The users can synchronize when the connection is first setup but after a while the device stops presenting

basic authentication credentials to the Exchange CAS server and starts prompting for username/password continuously.

"

Thank you very much.
[Android General] mangodrink:
Heads up:

Doing my semi-monthly google for "android capacitive 'shoulder buttons'" to see any news on devices with gaming controls (shoulder buttons tend to be enough of a key phrase), and noticed a bit of news on Yinlips ydpg18a from a couple days ago. I'm a forum noob so no links, but it's easy enough to search the model.

Looks like another PSP-like body/controls with Android brains and some added bits (HDMI out, USB host, accelerometer) (but no GPS or bluetooth), but unlike earlier models, this one has capacitive screen. $150ish with the previous resistive model clearanced around $110, but I guess those prices may fluctuate depending on the shop.

I didn't look over the specs too hard, mainly I just balked at the JXD s7100's lack of shoulder buttons and the aforementioned PSP-likes with no capacitive screens, and my interest piqued at this Yinlips model.

I figured those Chinese factories would get around to interesting updates, but I got impatient since January and bit on a used Xperia Play which I figured would hold me fine, but I underestimated the pace they're cranking out updates to their Chinese handhelds.

Of course, I'll be waiting to see what the word is on this ydpg18a from actual users, so I figure 3-4 weeks before a good body of chatter on the matter.
[Android General] JaviR:
Well, the new YINLIPS YDPG18A can be found at eBay website now.

Just go to eBay and write: YINLIPS YDPG18A

I also can not write links now, but it's really interesting this model.

Also AsiaPads sell this new version
[Android General] JaviR:
Adding information, JXD launched the model JXD S5110. Also can find at eBay.

Both are capacitive screen, but JXD already supports Android 4.0 :D
[Android General] cutterjohn:
Nope, over at dingoonity it was discovered that the S5110 actually has a resistive touch screen, 3pt.

One seller(willgoo) contacted JXD and was told that it was "between" a capacitive and resistive screen. Supposedly fairly responsive but we'll see as mine left HK latish today their time/EARLY morning my time... hope that it's routed to the local airport so I MIGHT get lucky and have it tomorrow ...
[Android General] cutterjohn:
willgoo also sells the 18A, and they've been participating in the s5110 thread @ dingoonity and generally seem to be very responsive and helpful. i.e. seem to be a very good seller or so my experience so far would indicate, plus their willingness to participate in a forum, very unusual for chinese sellers or at least as far as posting on english boards goes...

My s5110 should get delivered today as it made it to local dhl delivery office about an hour ago...
[Android General] JaviR:
Well, as I have seen on forums the capacitive or resistive screen of JXD S5110 was a problem caused by JXD it seems. Anyway I received my YDPG18A from AsiaPads without any problem in Spain this friday by EMS shipping. Service was good for me, I don't know if it's so good than Willgoo or not, but AsiaPads is ok.

Regards ;)
[Android General] ZeldaWW:
i was thinking about buying a yinlips just because of the emulators

but im kind of scared of the quality of these china handhelds and battery time
[Android General] Methanoid:
So wheres the review then?
[Android General] JaviR:
Well, I'm not an experienced user, so I'm not sure about what can I test.

My first videoconsole was an ATARI, later NES and SNES. Some years later PS2 and last was Nintendo Wii (gift), I really played few times the wii, so you can think last years I'm a little lost about videogames world but the YINLIPS makes me happy because can play those old games again and portable! Also this islike a Tablet PC (I already have a SciPad prodigy).

I think the difference between YDGP18 and YDPG18A is just the screen. Now it's Android 2.3 yet.

While I think what can I test I show a picture taked just now :D

(I can not write links and pics yet........ I need to write some posts more)
