[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
Can anyone confirm whether the Sony's HC or ICS kernel features loop device support. I haven't seen many stock kernels with it, but it would be a big step.

As for those apps in the Market, they are theoretically effective, but they require heavy support from the OS, kernel and in some cases even the bootloader.

There are two possible routes for Ubuntu on Android:

1. Native Ubuntu. This is extremely difficult and requires fully unlocked bootloaders and a lot of kernel work. This involves effectively removing Android from the system and booting the device straight into a patched bootloader, which would load a custom kernel, which could boot into an Ubuntu image, running natively on the device's hardware. As mentioned, very difficult and unlikely to ever be seen on the Sony.

2. chroot Ubuntu. This method is a fair bit easier and involves booting into Android as usual, then creating a new chroot environment (for newbies, this is hard to explain), from which you can loop mount an Ubuntu image, then load something like a VNC server or some other X display host, then connecting to that instance from an Android VNC client. This is definitely possible, and would only need the correct binaries, root access, and loop device support in the kernel (which is unconfirmed at this point).

Hope that helps clear it up.

UPDATE:

I just checked on my own rooted 3.2.1r2 device and from what I can see, that app might just work. Our device includes the /dev/block/loopX device files and the "busybox mount" binary seems capable of mounting the right kind of image. chroot is also included stock.

If you want to try out an app from the Play Store like this one, it might just work. Try it out and let us know!!

danm that sucks woudl be sick to have a mini tablet ubuntu style guess were gona have to wait for the future and see hwat it holds :p
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
See my above post regarding chroot Ubuntu. chroot does not need an unlocked bootloader, so if you're willing to run Ubuntu virtually within Android, then that should work alright.

hey guys...i encountered some problem on my mom's galaxy ace s5830.

here is the scenario:

i root my mom's ace s5830, then install CWM 5.0.2.6 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12874680#post12874680

1) i boot in recovery mode, and back up the stock using the back up in CWM 5.0.2.6.

2) i flash another rom...and i found some bugs, so i decide to restore the stock first.

3) boot in CWM recovery, used the basic restore to restore the stock, and it start the restoration process.

4) once restoration complete, i reboot. then the screen stuck at the "galaxy ace S5830" screen...without moving even though i wait for like 10 minutes. when i forcefully off it, it power on itself after few seconds...which i think this is bootloop case.

any things goes wrong guys?

thanks for reading...and if there is thread about this issue, kindly show me the link...thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] Marianopela:
I think you can restore only if you actually have the rom you had before the backup. Try to flash another custom rom, maybe the stocklite. The stocklite is like the stock rom, but faster and lighter.

Try it i and tell me if you've solved

How did you make lockscreen look like that ?

It's awesome.
[HTC Wildfire S] SiL3nTKiLL:
downloading!
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
Thanks Sander.

I should say, it's not just a "theme" but a lot of the APKs themselves were modified, so the end result is a more consistent look. (e.g. the phone is blue, the camera is blue, contacts, Market, etc.)

I'll look into WidgetLocker and keep you posted. Stay tuned!

- Anthony
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
Good question.

If you see my "First Boot" section, I recommend setting the CPU to 122-768Mhz, Governor = Scary, and Scheduler = sio.

This combo gives, objectively, the best results for me (and it should be for you, too, since we're using the same hardware). I stuck with Smartass+noop for the longest time, but was unhappy with battery life. This new combo is definitely better, but I won't give values because it all depends on your usage.

A rough guideline is that it runs (for me) about a day and a half of normal usage (talk, text, surfing, streaming vids, etc.) Your mileage may vary.

At a little over 100 MB, though, I suggest grabbing WildChild LITE and giving it a try. Report your findings back here.

p.s. Here's a great reference as to the workings of CPU govs/scheds. You'll see that the Scary gov was designed with battery life from the ground-up.

[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
Did you put the ring on fire???? That's SWEET!!!!...........does it have burning animations :D

Sorry for the useless post,had to say it
[HTC Wildfire S] HOSNY_MH:
does it supports arabic language?

plz check ur links above
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
If you were using a Sense-based Gingerbread ROM and your phone is S-ON, then the answer is almost certainly yes. Simply restore both your APKs and your data, and all should be well.

If you're S-OFF and performed some funky low-level mods on your phone, then all bets are off. My best advice here would simply be to try it and see. Since you've already got backups, I don't see the problem in trying. Report your findings back here for others to see/learn.

Thanks,

- Anthony
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
Haha... yes, I set that ring on fire... the phone is named WiLDFiRE, after all!

And, sticking with that theme, I do in fact have a burning animation on bootup. Download it and check it out. That is also custom-coloured by me (I didn't create the animation itself, but I tinted it red to give it a soothing firey look. I love it and I hope you do, too. :))

I'm in the middle of grabbing some more screenshots and that will be one of them.

(In the meantime, the links will be down for 30 minutes... sorry, in advance!)

- Anthony
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
It should support Arabic just fine.

If you'd like to try it and report your findings back here, that'd be swell.

Thanks,

[HTC Wildfire S] Alaadragonfire:
I did tried it already the rom that i used to have is "EQDKPv4.9 multi deodexed"

and all the data is restored now ;) and now am restoring the sd-ext partition... and i saw someone asking about the arabic language it does exist but the problem with it is that the letters are seperated not connected which is hard to read it but i believe there is a thread somewhere here in the xda forum that help you fix that issue :)

now after am having fun with your rom i have this issue with the accounts & sync that it doesn't work always force stop i believe you removed this option for increasing the ram and the internal space am i right ?

if so how can i enable this back because i always backup my contacts to google and would like to do facebook sync so i can get the profile pictures of my friends to the phone contact list...

There's a stock Gingerbread keyboard floating around out there. If you can't find it, lemme know and I'll create an Add-On for it.
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
Lite versions coming out today. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
If I understand it correctly, it's not a virus, but a way for Screenshot to redirect your browser to monetized pages. Seems like the authors released yet another update yesterday! They must be getting lots of heat from users.

Either way, it's sad that the authors decided to take this route. This was a great freeware product (still is, as far as I'm concerned) but end-user perception of my ROM means everything to me. So, if you're uncomfortable running this type of app, then I'll remove it from the ROM and find an alternate way of implementing screenshots. (Probably the "Power+Home buttons" package sent to me by E. Frat)

Stay tuned for an Add-On to scrape out this Screenshot.apk.

Thanks again for bringing it up.

Is data2sd supported in this rom?
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
^^^^^^^^^^^this!

data2sd is so much easier/less hassle than link2sd. makes more sense to me too, you haven't got to worry about the system running out of space on internal at all, because it makes the phone think it's got 1gb (or however much you set) to play with.....no more warnings about internal storage being low

So how long till we get a lite version? Btw Thankyou tigger for making this phone so much more usable now.
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
I've got confirmation from a few users that it works.

Please do a search in this thread for "data2sd".
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
The problem with data2sd is that it moves everything to your SD.

Link2SD is much more selective. I can choose to keep some apps unlinked (on internal memory). Why would I want to do that? So I can ensure that widgets and other speed-sensitive apps reside on internal (speedy) storage.

In terms of day-to-day usage, I find Link2SD the best. There's really nothing it can't do. In terms of one-time low-level activities (like moving Dalvik cache) then go ahead and use the DT scripts. But really, I can find no decent use for data2sd anymore.
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
Lite's on its way (before end of the day, today ??)

The upgrade patch to go from 1.0/1.1 to 1.5 will take longer. I stick to my original statement: end of the week.

Sorry about the delay, but I wanted to address the Screenshot concerns that some of you had. (woprr was pivotal in helping me track this down. Many, many thanks. :))

I made the decision to remove screenshots altogether in the base ROM, but I give the option to install the Power+Home screenshot service as an Add-On. (There's also an Add-On to remove screenshot in case you want your 3.8 MB of RAM back! ;))

Look for v1.6 to be released tomorrow. That will be the final version of WildChild for a long time now. I'll be releasing Add-On's on a regular basis, though, so just keep telling me what ya want. ;)
