There are plenty of developers that use windows. Only problem is, their roms suck.... Ok just kidding! DAGr8 is a perfect example of a windows user that cooks up perfectly badass feature packed ROMs. I personally use Linux mint which is a Ubuntu compatible distribution. I'm old so the new Ubuntu unity interface makes me want to punch my screen with a passion. As far as being able to compile full Android source code such as AOSP etc you will need a Linux environment. Anyway if you do decide to go the Linux route and need a good set of apktools, look no further. Here is a full suite of tools that I put together with a nice friendly terminal frontend I slapped together as well. Us Linux users don't get much love when it comes to up to date apktool applications so i made my own.

Download FJ-ApkTool Here

Read the readme file! This is still for fairly advanced users that are already familiar with apktool

If I may make a suggestion... why not run it in a Virtual Machine. I use virtualbox and haven't encountered any problems (well except usb passthrough...).
[Motorola Atrix 2] Clovett:
So this would be a good time for me to put in my order for a dream ROM? :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] prbassplayer:
Building a rom from source is near impossible to do on windows. Taking a Manufacture's rom and modifying it can be done on windows (mostly).

Note: If thread turns in to flame war I will lock.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Also to compile from gingerbread source you'll need to be running a 64bit os.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You can actually run 64 bit ubuntu just fine, you just need to install the 32bit libs, and dev libs. I run 64 bit ubuntu as my main desktop, and I have had no issues with working on android stuff at all.

Just my .02 cents.

Jim
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I know, I am not even talking strictly from an android development point of view, simply that you really wont need 64 bit with ubuntu and pretty much everything will work on 32 bit, but may be more difficult with 64 bit. you will not really see a performance increase for the most part, so there is just not much point for a less experienced user.

Hi boys, i'm in problems again... i think u can help, or maybe try, if u want, u know.

Well, i don't remeber when, but suddenly gps stop works for me, or if it works, very very very inexact, for example, precision about 1000m... or maps says "ur location is unaivable", i'd try sense 3.5 roms, sense 3.0 roms, cm7 roms, o2 roms, now i'm with miui and still have the problem.

My phone drops accidentaly a few times, and before that, i'd try aGPS fix... but i don't know what's the problem... well, anyone have idea?

thanks!!!

PS: now with MIUI, maps says "ur loc is unaivable" and every app that uses location loop at "getting loc"... doesn't work.

thanks Lazer, i think this gonna help someone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genmutant:
I have a similar problem, my GPS can't find any satelite. I'm using ICS 0.7 and tried with and without aGPS Fix. GPS Status doesn't do anything, it also doesn't find any satelite at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santi1993:
ohhh, and what do u think about this? anyone know about a fix or cause of this prob? i dont feel alone at all right nao... see ya
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anzianzi:
I had the same problem, GPS turns on but it can't find any satellites. I got it fixed under warranty. I think they changed the gps antenna cable, if I remember right. I was changing roms back and forth trying to figure out the cause, but it was a hardware problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kelden:
You can try changing your radio version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santi1993:
i forget it.

RADIO: LAST, finished in .23

HBOOT: Cm7r2 / data++, depends of the rom

RECOVERY: 4ext Touch

which one do u recommend?

and do u unroot/unrecovery ur phone? ****, it seems like a real trouble :p

i think i'm gonna explode my phone and take new one from my comp, stock the phone again seems really really heavy :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anzianzi:
I just flashed the alpharev hboot downgrader, and then the stock 2.2 PB99IMG.zip found here from some sticky. All from recovery and that's it. I read that you should use the stock 2.3 image, so that you wouldn't lose your warranty, but my phone was unbranded, so I guess it didn't matter.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genmutant:
So I opened the phone today and dis- and reconnected the GPS antenna cable (the cable on the left). Didn't do anything though. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kelden:
I'm using 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santi1993:
same here, my phone was branded but i don't find the original RUU, i have 2 options...

try flash WWE and send it to RMA, and pray for god OR

hard brick my phone and say "i don't know what pass, pls help" hahaha, any method to hardbrick the phone and make it unrecoverable? thx for all

(trying to stock it, i've bootlooped and lost my recovery/root, i'm a ****ing idiot :P)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anzianzi:
Install official HTC 2.3 update, it doesn't void your warranty.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazer Fazer:
Have you had a look at the following post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560829

I had a problem where my GPS refused to start (the blinking 'waiting for GPS lock' icon didn't come on) and flashing the patch in recovery worked perfectly. I now have perfect GPS, and have managed to find up to 12 satellites concurrently.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santi1993:
i just lock my phone trying to bring back to offi wwe 2.3, so i've f+cked it bring 24V on battery pins, and i'll try take a new one from warranty, it's secured and under warranty, and problem solved, i guess and i pray :p
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloisterBlack:
...and vice versa?

I am asking because up until now I always took backups using xrecovery, and the current ROM I am using only has CWM.

The only difference between the backups these two utilities create, is that CWM backups have an extra file in the folder.

If it's not possible, is it at least possible to have both utilities and somehow select which one to use on boot?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
If you go to restore, there is an option that says "restore from xRecovery" but you can't restore CWM backups with xrecovery.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloisterBlack:
That was quick :P

Thanks mate, να'σαι καλά :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloisterBlack:
EDIT:

Actually, I just checked, I can't find any option like the one you described.

The CWM used is v4.0.1.5, the only options I get in Backup and Restore, are indeed, "backup", "restore" and "advanced restore" which only shows a backup I made with CWM earlier.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
I checked too and I don't have it either. It's strange, I actually remember performing a restore from xrecovery backup. Sorry for disappointing you :(

i just wanna ask if you already found a solution to this problem? :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gogeta:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
i dunno,maybe try to install xrecovery instaid of the cmw that your rom have, and then restore your back up from xrecovery...

i dont know if it will work but you can try;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antot107:
i tried something that helped. i created a folder on my sdcard named 'clockworkmod' and inside that folder i made another one and named it 'backup'. i read it on a forum somewhere that the location of the backups for CWM is in sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\. so i transferred the backup i made from xrecovery to the folder i made in CWM. did a reboot and restore from CWM and it worked! hope this will help others too. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iakovl:
well, after several threads on the LPY issue

i hope someone can make some order in this mess and give us (the ppl) an answer on the LPY risk and how to avoid it.

while i myself don't have enough knowledge on the issue i hope someone who does would answer and i will link the answers in the first post (this one)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
Depends who you ask. I say yes, it is safe. The best thing you can do is wait a day or two and see what happens. If there is truly a problem, you will see more than just one brick.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
I had a brick la7 or how was it called. Was using stock Rom and upgraded with Kies. **** happens you can't do anything if it has to be.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
Simple answer : The ICS kernel leaks are not safe. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ROM. IT IS THE KERNEL.

Long answer : Clockwork doesn't play well with the new kernels... No one knows why. Some people brick... Some don't. I didn't. Chas did.

Real simple answer : If you have to ask, then don't do it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
Just like with the leaked kernels LP5/LP6 ,some people would brick while others are fine.

Just avoid it if you can ,and if you must taste ICS then may I advice you to flash cm9 ,it's far better than the stock in my opinion .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:
Short answer: maybe.. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chadrick.7:
This is not a leak! It is a official release from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tyrael64:
but if you are in germany and get the ota is dangerous too?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
I bet a good portion of bricks are user error.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kriggs:
No, only if you root and wipe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dsteppa:
I don't think that people being in another country be a reason that it bricks for other people or not.

In the end the versions are all the same, just with some modifications. (I mean the versions that are brought out per country)

I have xeu uk unlocked phone and i updated to ics via odin and german update love it note is nippy and so far no crashes on apps

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sharp2G:
Official Samsung ICS Update -> Safe

Official Samsung ICS Update + anything related to flashing/getting root -> AT YOUR OWN RISK

If you want a stock Touchwiz ICS experience you're going to be OK. If you want to do more with your device, like always you do that at your own risk.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jack143:
I jump sooner than i usually do and flashed it because i thought stock roms were safe. It did brick my phone when i made a backup and then using that backup. How i got my phone back going is downloading pc odin and an older gingerbread and flashing it. The ics rom do work very well. But you cant used the backups made with cwm. Im using LPY rightnow after unbricking it with pc odin and an older gingerbread. If u get it going LPY is worth flashing its smoother than gingerbread and very responsive. I hope someone can figure out why we cant use our backups.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crawlgsx:
The answer is very simple.

Can you follow directions? Can you not do things outside of what is needed?

If so then yes.

If you go from GB rooted to ICS Official (with or without CF), By the book, you will have no problems.

Do not do something stupid, like say flashing CF Kernel with CM9 first :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blitzkriegh:
I agree with this. If only people will follow procedures based on the guidelines and without experimenting or creating new instructions outside the normal conditions, i guess it should work accordingly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nandihno:
I think the safest thing is if you want to go to another rom go via a stock gb and make sure to pc odin and flash pit with repartition check then root and run cwm from it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Right now: We don't know. We have at least one person who bricked when wiping with the new kernel.

That's the most dangerous operation - wiping in recovery. However a large file deletion could trigger the issue. It's not likely, it hasn't happened yet, but it's a similar eMMC access pattern so it's possible.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tiny Wiz:
Not sure that is the kind of brick "we" are talking about. The bricks that happens with ICS i9220 leaks are hard bricks and there is no way to recover from them except a motherboard exchange.

However, there is always a small risk to softbrick (when flashing anything) but these are not severe and you could recover from them in different ways depending on what type of softbrick it is.

It is still under debate if the new ICS based on LPY has the same potential to hard brick your note as the ICS i9220 leaks.

Personally I belive that if we don't get any more reports of true hardbricks then it must have been a combination of bad luck and in some way bad hardware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crawlgsx:
We have one person who bricked their phone by wiping from CF Kernel combined with CM9 Official, clearly NOT what the recommended is anyway.

We have

0

(reported) bricks from those of us who follow the directions.

If on anything other than GB, ODIN to stock GB. Then use mobile odin or odin to flash ICS offical; with or without latest CF Kernel (if you want root). THIS is the safe and recommended way. If you follow any other idea's or thoughts, you are doing so KNOWING DAMN WELL you could brick your phone. Do NOT use CWM functions from any other build of ICS, Period. That is what is safe right now.

Why is this so hard for people?

Why does everyone feel the need to panic and spread chaos and over exaggerate the problem.

No offense Entropy, I know you are a smart man and you know your stuff, but seriously you are making this MUCH worse than it should/needs to be. It has gone from a general "at your own risk" to a spread of fear and chaos.

Strictly my opinion of course.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Technically, going by Samsung's own naming convention for firmware, this is still a prototype firmware... Of the three letters in the code, the first indicates the year, the second one is the month, and the final character is the revision number.

So, for instance, for the firmware KKA, K would be 2011, the second K would be the month November, revision 10.

Remember how all the firmware that was released in January of this year was LAsomething? L for 2012, A for January, then revision number.

P is used to indicate prototype. That's why LP6 is/was a leak. Prototype number 6, 2012.

LPY is prototype 32 (after counting to 9, A is 10, B is 11, etc.) It may have been officially released as a release candidate for an official release. If it weren't a prototype firmware, it would be something like LE1 or LE7, or LEC, or whatever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
So wait the new ICS still isn't the full real thing and just a test?? So much for getting excited

Composed on my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dereknas:
But why release something which is still a prototype to the masses risking creating problems for the consumers and tarnishing their image in the process?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
my 2 cents on this is that OFFICIAL is SAFE...

just dont go flashing CFroot LPY on CM9.. hahaha
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Oh I'm sure it's still real. Just, based on the naming convention, it's more likely a release candidate or release-ready late-beta.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
You have no proof
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Companies release un-finished products all the time. Nothing new there... I mean after all, if it were perfect the first time it were released, why else would they keep changing and tweaking it further on down the line (apart from updating the software that is)?

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

I never claimed that I did. All I stated were my own speculations based on Samsung's naming convention for their firmware. To learn more about their letter codes, read here. As for anything I have ever seen that was a pre-release or a beta of some sort, "P" is substituted for the month letter. We are in the month of May, which would be "E" in the letter code, and yet the firmware is LPY. Also, LPY? "Y" is revision 32.

Thus, I speculate that the LPY firmware is a very late revision prototype, release candidate, or at least a very stable beta. If it weren't a prototype revision, it would be LEsomething. The first June revision firmware next month will be LG1, or LG2, etc...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hykhleif:
whenever i i want to try a new rom and there is a debate about a kernel I void that kernel and keep away from rooting, as I don't need to have root access that much or need to modify an ICS rom, as it is as snappy as it can get without any modification

so what I did after i tried all leaked ics roms

1- i went back to a full wipe GB ( LA 3 ) rom and flashed it using PC Odin

2- then I just flashed the rom LPY without any kernel using also c odin, so now I am on official ICS rom but without root,

it feels good this ics LPY
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ask77:
It is perfectly safe firmware if you don't root it or add cwm. No manufacture will release an official OTA firmware update if there was even a slightest of doubt regarding it containing this ultimate bug which hardbricks there product , it will be tantamount to being a manufacturing defect if the phone can not take an update from manufacturer .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] devonblue4u:
It bricked mine flashing via Mobile Odin.

For now I bought a Rogers I717 to play with until somebody figures this #$@* out. First I had to put up with bricked I9000M's (2 Motherboards replaced), weak USB ports on the N7000, and now the damn thing is bricked.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chadrick.7:
Could you post your exact steps that you did. I myself and 7 of my friends flashed via mobile odin pro with zero issues.
[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
What do you think? Right now I am using ARHD + AOSP Script and I am really happy but from long time I want to try an AOSP rom. For now the thing that is holding me back that they have some known bugs and probably more unkown or too little too be mentioned but annoying. I am waiting for a long time but I am still not convinced that these roms are perfect and I want bugless rom and for now ARHD is giving me this. What do you when AOSP will be flawless will it happen?
[HTC Sensation] Michealtbh:
Try the latest AOKP (b35). I've been using it for over 24 hours and haven't found any bugs
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Im running virtuous never had a single issue ?
[HTC Sensation] Michealtbh:
Virtuous isn't AOSP
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
It isn't ? I think it was wrotten on op its aosp whit htc framework for stuff to work like camera and such ??
[HTC Sensation] HeXDeMoN:
I believe its just a AOSP theme.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Damn now gotta find a real aosp rom ^_^
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
AOKP is based on OpenSensation so whatever bugs that has, AOKP has.

I don't think we'll fond a stable aosp build for a while. Bluetooth, sound drivers and other miscellaneous drivers are all hacked up drivers. I'd stick with something that is based on Sense with the aosp framework for stability and performance.

That's me though
[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:
Agreed.

Build 35 is the best Aosp Rom so far for Sensation. Zero bugs, and the Theme Chooser is a welcome addition.

Regards.
[HTC Sensation] mulletcutter:
Yes sense is stable...but aosp or aokp perform just as good or better then sense. Hyperaokp :) I dont use Bluetooth or GPS so I rarely get bugs.
[HTC Sensation] webstar1:
Benefit of sense? Doesnt overheat quickly,

Battery life as well

AOSP still hasnt figured out the way htc handles the 2 cores, where one core is used until 2nd needed.

AOSP kernels have progressed to as where it uses a single core when the screen is off, but both cores are on wwhen screen is on, resulting in lots of heat and short battery life
[HTC Sensation] mulletcutter:
apparently you never used Trips rom/kernel...my phone got hot less then sense.
[HTC Sensation] deol 4ever:
By that do u mean the aokp posted on aokps website or eye candy? I'm confused
[HTC One S] soulcrusher:
When I press and hold 1 finger on the screen at the exact same spot and then tap with another finger, the phone thinks I am pressing with 2 fingers even though i already released the second one. When I move my finger just a millimeter on the screen, it realizes i am only pressing with one finger and the other 'false' input disappears. This leads to problems with games that have a joypad like input and another button, when pressing the button and releasing the joypad, the phone still thinks I am pressing on the joypad... Are you guys experiencing the same? It makes some games unplayable:mad:
[HTC One S] Michael77500:
Try to disable HTC Gestes ?
[HTC One S] soulcrusher:
Yeah, forgot to mention, I disabled htc gestures, but problem remains. Is this touchscreen lower quality? it can only track up to five fingers

Sent from my <INSERT DEVICE> using <INSERT APPLICATION NAME>
[HTC One S] Michael77500:
It's weird, I haven't any problems with my touchscreen. I read the HTC One S's touchscreen can track up to 10 fingers...
[HTC One S] XstreamaticX:
My One S (US) can only track 2. Might be defective screen but that's the case with my One S
[HTC One S] soulcrusher:
You can only use 2 finger multitouch if you have the htc gestures option enabled (settings->display & gestures->htc gestures). If you don't have it enabled you can use up to 5.

I got an email from htc that I could request them to enable more fingers on screen for a further update. He also said that I should boot the phone in safe mode and see if I still have my problem, but when booting in safe mode I don't have any apps to check if i still encounter my problem....
[HTC One S] Lyncburrows:
sorry if I ask this after a year but have you by any chance solved the problem? I'm experimenting the exact same issue and it makes it impossible to play some games

thanks,
