RD-MIUI_ICS_2.5.25

I flashed the icecoldsandwich-7.4.AOKP-signed rom from Lordclokan.

And it can do Merging or other things with facebook in the contacts menu...

So the facebook (or twitter) sync problem is only about miui rom...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilkerh:
no, but i am now downloading miui.us new version... (Miui ICS 4.0.3 v2.5.25)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
I got the same problem as you did. I even tried the app I mentioned before, didn't work. Have you done a search in the thread to see if others are experiencing the same problem?

Gonna flash blinds ics to see if the same thing happens.

Same thing happened with bliinds ics.

If you figure it out let me know.

Regarding the keyboard, couldn't figure it out.

Edit: apparently its an ics issue.

Try HaxSync it works a lot better than the facebook app with syncing facebook contacts to your phone plus it also downloads a better photo from facebook than the fb app does.

Now at the Moment everyone is going crazy over cynagen mod for the galaxy y. Is it really that much of a big a deal. And should people bother porting it?

[LG Optimus 3D] becurious:
Some of you might know that currently there are a couple of high quality games on sale in the Play Store:

Because We May!

Some games are listed as incompatible for my device (P920, stock Froyo):

- Sprinkle

- Whale Trail

- Babylonian Twins

While I don't care for the latter two, I'd really like to buy "Sprinkle".

I'm a little puzzled as to why the Store denies me the purchase of these games.

Are you able to purchase these games or do you know how to trick the Play Store into letting me buy Sprinkle?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Hello,

Just looking for some advice.

I developed an app a few months ago, which has been surprisingly popular and seems to have got a bit of a reputation since I put it on the Market.

Today, I found my app, recoloured, renamed, and re-uploaded to the Play Store by some dodgy developer. This is relatively easy to do using most decompile tools nowadays. The developer even had the cheek to leave in a slight bug that I never fixed because it wasn't particularly important. You can actually see it from the screenshot. I'm not willing to download it however because I've noticed added to the permissions is "FULL INTERNET ACCESS" and "RECEIVE SMS" something that is totally unnecessary for my app to function correctly. This raises a few concerns.

His app is obviously based on one of the very early versions of mine because despite his screenshot having an 'add contact' button, the permissions page does not include READ CONTACT LIST. I have a feeling he's simply taken my version 0.1, changed a few colours and added some malicious code and reuploaded it.

I don't know how to proceed. Downloading it maybe unsafe.

Should I report this to Google ? Is this a case of copyright theft?

I am already looking to seek legal advice but I predict this guy doesn't live in my country...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
If you're sure... report the issue to Google =/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Not just sure, absolutely positive. Definitely my app, definitely something dodgy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ancilary:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Do I do it via inappropriate app or via DMCA?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluerain28:
Yes, you should report to google to prevent other user from downloading that app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
OK,

well I assume that reporting via http://support.google.com/bin/request.py?&product=androidmarket&contact_type=lr_dmca

is the best way as it is copyright theft right? But obviously with the other extra permissions that are totally unnecessary it could be considered Malware too. So i'm not 100% Sure where to go with that.

Hi,

I have made this custom boot image for myself and I wanted to share it.

I have disabled the bootanimation and I have enabled the kernel messages instead.

just flash the boot image and remove/rename /system/bin/bootanimation

if anyone is willing to help I would create an update zip which flashes the boot partition and renames /system/bin/bootanimation

Cheers,

Matteo

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mojochief:
I really don't think so! This is as far as I know a modified Galaxy nexus boot image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teknoraver:
The thread was moved to "Galaxy Nexus Themes and Apps" but I don't really think that it's correct.

Tecnically it isn't a boot animation, is a kernel hack to disable it and show the "raw" boot.

Everything that is printed is printed by the TTY subsystem, it's not rendered by a bootanimation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leets4uc3:
this is awesome. I disabled my boot animation and it only shows the kernel messages for a few seconds then a plain android boot animation appears. Is there any way to make it longer or is that all that is supposed to come up?

i am on aokp b37 also.

good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilskywalker:
@teknoraver

I would like to add this as a completely new section in my boot animation thread if that's cool??

Couple of clarifications though:

This looks more like a kernel edit to me and therefore this is somewhat ROM specific in that if folks flash this boot.img it will disable certain ROM specific features controlled by the kernel?

Assuming the above is true, a per ROM boot.img would need to be created to make this work whilst preserving all functionality?

To give an example, if you flash a custom kernel over cm9 you will find some of the settings options are blanked out and you are no longer able to use them unless you have a specific kernel control app or you start fiddling around with init.d scripts.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
This sounds kind of like "live logcat", is it similar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teknoraver:
You need to rename /system/bin/bootanimation to something else
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
exactly what I came here to say. I tried it a while back and it worked flawlessly: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.livelogcat.lite&hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teknoraver:
No it's different.

Livelogcat is a bootanimation which draws logcat messages in a complex manner.

My patch disables the animation and let the kernel print messages like it does on PC and servers:

[HTC Sensation] bryancruzdr:
random rebooting after flashing CM9 nightly roms. seems to be some kind of bug every time i start an application or turn on mobile data it cuases a reboot. i have flashed all of the following roms in an attempt to fix the problem:

PkMn ROM 4.1 Charmander

OrDroid V6.0.0

and the latest official cyanogenmod nightly

i did a restore to an ics lee droid rom i previously backed up before

and it seemed to run without a problem but after that i re flashed PkMn ROM for the sensation and now it performs a hot reboot instead. if anyone could help it would be greatly apprieciated as the problem seems to worsen after every reboot.

some times it would just go into a bootloop. :(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I think some partition is still corrupted.. I recommend you to do a wipe from recovery rather than scripts (if using 4ext then wipe/format ->>format all partitions except sdcard) and then flash another rom Again

If that didn't solved the issue RUU is the next thing.. If you are soff and supercid then get any ics RUU and run it.. It completely formats through phone and takes everything to stock.. But still retains soff.. So you revert back to normal once you do a ruu run(remember ruu run should be done with device in fastboot)

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] bryancruzdr:
Thank You so much!

i will try this, but which RUU do you recommend i run?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
RUU is just to clean the partitions.. So just get any.. If you want one get the Europe umbranded one(latest)

Check in pyramid shipped rom collections thread in sensation Android Development section

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Before you look into a partition problem, which is a pain to fix, check to make sure the battery is securely seated in the phone.

The batteries can become loose over time. Not very loose, but just enough to break electrical contact. And if the electrical contact is broken and restored quickly, a reboot is likely.

Open the phone and see if the battery wiggled. See if you can create the reboot problem by jiggling the battery. If you can, there are a few things to try to make the battery tighter.
[HTC Sensation] bryancruzdr:
Thanks for your suggestion. i saw a post on this yesturday, and this doesnt seem to be my issue, althought i tried the trick that is mentioned on the post, about putting a business card to make it tighter, and it deffinitely made it very tight, but the issue remained. thanks for your help though :D

While Running RUU i get "Error [156] Image Error" ive downloaded atleast 4 different ics ruu's and get the same error. perhaps this is the initial problem?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
no no are you SOFF ?

if you are not SOFF but has unlocked bootloader..then relock it before running RUU

(fastboot oem lock)

then run the RUU..with phone connected in bootloader
[HTC Sensation] bryancruzdr:
i am s-off

if it helps heres what it says on the bootloader:

-Revolutionary-

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.27.1100

RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M

OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

eMMC-boot

i put it on fastboot and connect it to my computer when running RUU. am i missing anything?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ok we do it different way then

first extract the rom.zip from any ICS RUU (choose one )

here is the guide to extract the rom.zip

http://www.htcsensationforum.com/htc-sensation-rooting/how-to-extract-rom-zip-from-ruu/

then keep the rom.zip in adb folder

keep the phone in fastboot

and connect it to pc (mobile reads "fastboot usb")

now type these commands one by one

1.fastboot erase cache

2.fastboot oem rebootRUU

3.fastboot flash zip rom.zip

4.fastboot reboot

if worked fine otherwise

im particularly interested in the complete output of the third command

so use PASTEBIN to paste the output and then repost the url with the pasted output
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Check point 4 of my RUU guide. You can link all such questions there. Detailed explanation & methods.

I'm just suggesting because you gave him a very short explanation. :)

EDIT: Sorry, I probably didn't see that this is solved.

Some questions. The method from above is the same one used for flashing engineering bootloader after JB S Off

So, what exactly is this RUU mode? And does it bypass CID and fw version checks?

Also, what are the requirements for this mode to work (i.e. S-Off, unlocked bootloader)?

What are the benefits of using this over renaming rom.zip to PG58IMG.zip and flashing?

Thanks a lot for this. It will surely come in handy sometime & will definitely go into my guide. :)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
its the same way as flashing via PG58IMG way

to bluntly say the PG58IMG flashing ..internally does the flashing the same way I've put it

RUU mode is the lowest level(visible) mode where flashing of bootloader,firmware,radio and even ROM is possible but the file format should be of PG58IMG zip

so simply put any PG58IMG.zip file which is not being parsed by bootloader properly can be manually flashed the above way

the same requirements that apply for PG58IMG.zip file applies over here too

i.e SOFF (irrespective of type of bootloader)

or unlocked bootloader with SON ...(remember in this case as only recovery,boot,data,system partitions are opened only those partitions can be flashed )
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Thanks a lot Ganesh! Very useful info. So you mean that in this mode CID check is bypassed. That's nice.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
no please don't get me wrong

at the end the zip we are flashing requires android-info.txt too (PG58IMG.zip has it too) which has cid and mid to it

the cid check is bypassed only when you are SOFF or has unlocked bootloader (for unlocked bootloader ..we still require cid signed radio,hboot (firmware) to update them via this method ..this is required as they are still secured [SON])

the above way of flashing gives you much more detail of whats happening when on command prompt..where we can identify the problem ..when flashing RUU..precisely :D
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Thanks for the clarifications. I will add it to the guide because this is really a nice method. :)

So this is probably the wrong place, but I don't see anywhere more applicable, so please move if necessary.

Bought a LG Viper for the wife today, so had to root it :-p

I found a post elsewhere (can't post URLs yet, but it's on androidcentral) that stated how using SuperOneClick, but personally I'm a CLI kind of guy, so this is for anyone using linux (probably could easily be used on Windows, I think you'd need the "LG Universal Drivers", but )

Getting right to the point, you must have adb installed and working.

Notes: Make sure you've got USB Debugging enabled at this point. Might as well make sure "Unknown Sources" are allowed as well.

Go ahead and plug your phone in to your computer now.

Step 1) Find the device on your computer

In /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules add the following (editing as root):

* Note: I had recently rooted a Kindle Fire and had other config in this file, if you do to you can just prefix the lines with a "#" and it will be ignored. You can find the vendor ID by running 'lsusb'

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666", OWNER="YOUR-USERNAME", GROUP="YOUR-USERNAME"

Reboot at this point (or restart udev and logout/in)

Step 2) Grab a copy of "rageagaintthecage" and do the following

adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp

Step 3) Shell time

adb shell

Once you're in the prompt:

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

* Note: You'll be kicked out out the prompt at this point, as expected.

Step 4) You've got temporary root (if that's all you want, stop now), otherwise let's make it permanent

adb kill-server

adb start-server

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 /system

adb push su /system/bin

adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/su

Step 5) Install tools

On your phone, download "Superuser" and "Busybox Installer"

Run Busybox Installer

Step 6) Enjoy

Post up any questions, glad to help if possible
