[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACmd:
First I will explain what I have done. (I cannot post Links yet).

Following The CyanogenMod Wiki (HTC_Dream:_Rooting) I found out I could not downgrade to the RC7/RC29 (Spanish Phone). I was receiving the error message "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!". After a bit of googling I was found that I should make a goldcard, this is where I start getting confused.

I created a goldcard following the instructions (First Google Result: goldcard on mac - mikesouthby) I was able to carryout every step without a problem. With the goldcard on my SD I Camera + Power booted the phone. After the same "Reading images.." bar completed and "Checksum Checking.." I got the error "Main Version is older! Update Fail!".

I have added some images which are just photos of the process, they show more information. This is my first Android device so yes, I'm a noob. On OS X by the way.

Information from device.

Model Number: HTC_Dream

Firmware Version: 1.1

Kernel version: 2.6.25-890662e5 herbert@and18-2 #12

Build Number: 1.56.621.4 PLAT-1.0_gms-141395 CL#19091 release-keys
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
the goldcard didint work, lots of people seem to have trouble getting the goldcard to work on a mac. if you have access to windows or linux try again. but i assume your purpose for downgrading is to gain root, there are other ways such as running an app. androot.apk never tried it but many have and say it works fine and there shouldnt be much of a chance for a brick. you would still have to flash new radio and spl and recovery
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACmd:
Thanks for getting back to me. I tried to use Androot but it seems to just crash when I hit root "The application Universal Androot (process com.corner23.android.universalandroot) has stopped unexpectedly". Though I didn't install it off my SD Card, but off a web server, as I can't find a working File Manager for 1.1.

Will try get hold of Windows or Linux, yeah I am trying to root the device to install FW 2.2.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
try linda file manager
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACmd:
Linda requires Android 1.5+, i'm on 1.1
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
isnt there an ota update where you are from to bring your phone to 1.5 or 1.6?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACmd:
I'm not seeing anything in Settings > About Phone to update. :/
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
I have used androot for my phone too on 1.6, no probs at all! Just ask a friend to lend their windows and try again to UPGRADE it to 1.6 and it would work.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACmd:
I've gotten hold of a windows laptop, what should I do to upgrade to 1.6 though?

Sorry for the basic questions, first shot at all this business.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you can try to put an ota update on your phone and name it dreaming.nbh , boot into hboot.

but you may be best off just downgrading to 1.0 and following the old way for rooting then reupgrading
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
WAIT!!! I have just found a file manager for 1.1 : OI File Manager! Just go to the super old android market and try to get it or download it form the internet browser on your phone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RedMist:
Is there a HDMI out via mhl or a standard Samsung connector?

Some of the Adobe apps don't work on screens under 8.9in. Can you root and then hack the config file (my mind blank as to what its called) to set the size of the screen?

Can I modify the keyboard dock for my 8.9 tab to fit the note? (Not as stupid as it sounds. The 8.9 dock is the same as the one for the gtab and the 10.1 tab.)

BTW if any UKer fancies swapping for an iPad3 let me know :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I had no problem with any Adobe applications playing Flash or YouTube in the browser.

Yes you can change the DPI but only if rooted.

No the galaxy tab comes with preparatory charging connection while Note has micro USB.

Fortunately I'm not a UKer, so can avoid falling into the iPad swapping trap! ! .

Edit: you have to buy a separate MHL adapter to connect to hdmi via micro USB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
1. It's HDMI via MHL

2. Adobe Photoshop works as long as you add some missing fonts.

3. No idea
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RedMist:
Thanks for the information. Cheers.

The Adobe apps I was thinking of were Touch, but also Proto and Collage. Do you know if they can be made to work in the same way?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rezo609:
Hey guys, yet again im back with another tutuorial on how to make a Hello Android Application.

This is a step by step w/pictures tutorial which may take almost half an hour if your kinda slow. So I suggest you get a full cup of coffee. :D

WINDOWS​

Installing Eclispe and Android SDK

Step 1: Download Eclispe and Android SDK below from the following sites:

*Android SDK

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

*Eclispe

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-372/indigosr2

Step 2: Extract both zip files

Step 3: Double Click on eclispe and what for it to load up

Step 4: Select a workspace

Step 5: Lets Install the ADT Plugin

Go to Help > Install New Software

Step 6: Click Add, in the top-right coner

Step 7: Fill in the information as follows and click OK

Name: ADT Plugin
Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

Step 8: Tick the Checkmark box for Developer Toolsand select Next

Step 9: Select Next again.

Step 10: Read and Accept License and hit Finish

Step 11: If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or validity of the software can't be established, click OK.

Step 12: Select Restart Now

Step 13: As you can see we have avd and sdk in eclispe! :D

Step 14: Select Android SDK Manager

Window > Android SDK Manager

Step 15: Tick the Tools and Android 2.3.3 Checkmark boxes and hit Install

Creating a Android Project

Step 16: In Eclipse, select File > New > Project

Step 17: Open the Android Tab and Select Android Project then hit Next

Step 18: Name the Project Name: HelloWorld and hit Next

Step 19: Select Android 2.3.3 and hit Next. I have different Android versions because I installed more than 1.

Step 20: Change the Package Name to:

com.example.helloworld

and select Finish

Editing the Application

Step 21: Open the tab HelloWorld > res > layout > main.xml . So once you open main.mxl, you will see the layout of the app.

Step 22: Start chugging on your coffee, I forgot I had coffee with me. :D

Step 23: Choose Screen Size, in this case I have an hvga device. Chose which fit your phone.

Step 24: Select main.xml tab and change verticle to horizontal

Step 25: Connect your phone to computer. Make sure USB Debugging is checked.

Step 26: Press Ctrl+F11 and select Android Application then hit Ok

Step 27: Congrats! You now created a HelloWorld Application! :D

LINUX​

Just watch this badass video, much easier :D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mDroidd:
Maybe you could also post a note this instructions are from the Android website only with some screenshots in it?

Anyway, nicely done.

I would like to suggest that you checkout Motorola motodev.

it is an eclipse based development tool aimed at developing for android.

it is not Motorola specific, but it does give you some nice extra options like code snippets.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shantusingh:
thank you for the amazing guide, appreciate the same but this is just for hello world app.. how to be able to make even normal apps like cache cleaner, file manager, any game, installer, un-installer, etc . Can i get to know on that with this guide what more i would need to add, etc?!

Regards
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rezo609:
I'm not sure how to make those apps srry, I'm basically learning right now and since I successfuly made a hello world app, I decided to share it.

BTW, I'm not the maker of that video :D

Nice work but not for me

Many thanks for all of your efforts and hard work on this.

I was really up for giving it a try, but having spent and hour and a half of my life trying to get Java to install and play on my laptop, I have given up.

When i tried to install Eclipse it said needed Java etc. and it all fell apart at that point, thanks anyway.

I'm fairly new to Android development !! I've already gone thorugh these Hello World examples !

can any of you plzz provide the easiest guide on how to implement Google Play Store like Swipe View in an app of my own !! ??

Kindly help me with that !! haven't really come across any guide thats relevant to me ..... or is Noob level stuff !!!!!

Thx !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rezo609:
just install this and it should work :) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nerotNS:
It's a nice tutorial well done.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kermagod:
For App development, I would strongly advise:

The New Boston - Android Tutorials

It would also help if you learnt some of the Java basics:

The New Boston - Java Tutorials

The tutorials are done by Bucky and Travis and these guys are very good. They take you through the learning step by step.

Also. When you come across problems, the main Android Developers site is very good, but I've also found Stack Overflow very helpful.

I started using the tutorials with no Android or Java knowledge at all and I've used what I have learned to make a couple of basic soundboards so far and other bits and pieces, but what they teach you gives you the potential for a lot more.

You can see the apps I've made Here (Android Market) and Here (My Rant Of The Day).

Good Luck.

ive achieved a hello world app a while back but how exactly can i go beyond that? i have a great idea for an app and it should be rather simple too, but im not sure how to carry it out.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] haieb:
you need java skills :P do you have some? it really depends on the app how much java knowledge you need. you can find a lot of snippets in the internet for the most functions. i am searching for an app idea, so probably we can work together or something like that.so pm me if u want :D

Well-explained Guide. Cheers!! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rezo609:
Thanks everyone for thanking me :D

To add a wallpaper/background, simply choose any picture you like, rename it to "icon" and drag it over to any foler you like on your project. Ex: I have a beach wallpaper and i just dragged it from my desktop into the drawable folder.

Then Right Click on the app preview (graphical layout), select "Other Properties", then "Inherit from View". Select "Background" then look for you wallpaper you dragged into eclispe and hit "Ok"

Congrats you now have a wallpaper in the background :D

AIDE - Android Java IDE

For those looking to play, the AIDE - Android Java IDE is pretty amazing. Lets you build your Hello World app on the phone (or tablet in my case), compiles it, builds the apk file, and installs it like a regular app!

It is a pretty sophisticated dev environment, and is free still while it is in beta. Search for AIDE in the Play store

No sorry still don't get it. JDK says successfully installed and eclipse says not...any help please?

Many thanks as always.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolsandie:
Just specify the Environment variables. Maybe it will help.

Right Click Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables

You'll see System variables column, and drag it and you'll see the variable "Path" click on it and click the Edit button and add the line --> ;C:\Program files\Java\jdk_<version_number>\bin (You could get the address by going into the installed location and copy it from the address bar and paste it in the Path after a semi-colon like mentioned above)

If you have added, take the command prompt and type "javac" without quotes and if many options comes, it means you have successfully added the environment variable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tye:P:
A extremely good resource for those looking to get into Android development (preferably if they have some Java knowledge, still great if you don't) is a collection of Android development video tutorials here:

http://marakana.com/s/android_bootcamp_series_2012_video_tutorial,1017/index.html

They also offer a series of courses and other resources. Highly Recommended.

It's made and run by Marko Gargenta the guy who wrote Learning Android, which the course is based on.

I still don't know exactly what the hell I'm doing but thanks to this I'm getting there.

You said before that you was just learning, and now? How your "nivel" of development?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bonvaz:
hey guys,anyone here play nova 3 on galaxy nexus? are working for you all the different effects and graphic elements?because on mine it seems that some graphich emellishment are not working on my phone..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
Same here,and the framerate is quite low (aokp build 37)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bonvaz:
really don't believe it :(..watch the videos on youtube of the game running on sgs2 and note...really better :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
I hope that our phone won't be forgotten or next games/apps won't be optimized anymore for our legacy GPU
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Well, considering GTA III runs like butter on my GNex, must be your AOKP rom.

And LOL, our legacy GPU? Wow...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
Come on,do you think that the gpu is so strong? Maybe if the screen resolution was quite little,the gpu had work well. But since we have a wonderful screen,we need a gpu more powerful (try to play games with stock rom /kernel and tell me again how strong is the gpu)

However,which rom/kernel are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
Running buttery smooth here. SlimICS and faux 17u kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bonvaz:
try to use chainfire and the nvidia plugins for have ALL the graphic effects of the game....and then you tell me if game is without lag!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
the phone isnt meant to have the nvidia plugins as those are for the tegra series.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Why would you enable Nvidia plugins? This is NOT an Nvidia phone. Facepalm. Seriously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bonvaz:
ok,but play the game without all the graphical effects like gs2 have,is really bad.....is not nova 3 for real in this way.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
do you play PC games at all?

if so, you should understand that a higher resolution drops the frame rate no matter what you do. a game running at 1024x768 runs very differently than 1900x1200.

its no different with the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
Aokp contain faux kernel,it's strange that your phones run it well and mine doesn't. However,i uninstalled the game for mistake,i'll try later with different rom/kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
Unfortunately,it's exactly as you said
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bonvaz:
so we have to wait that gameloft optimize the game for HD screens?

because I see now that also on one x is lagging as hell..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2tD6dCAkKo

and also on S3,no effects http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...tion_580371&src_vid=P2tD6dCAkKo&v=xtAAHjYVZs4 so it's a gameloft problem!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
Guys,now i'm using cm9 and franco kernel milestone 4. Guess what? (Almost) 0 lags! I suggest to use interactive governor
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
I've been able to run GTA III with every graphical option turned all the way up and zero lag. That was when I was on...Skankwich CM9 with either PBJ or GLADOS kernel. I'll have to try it with my current set up, though I'm sure I won't have any hiccups.

And those who DID have tons of lag and such, were you all using AOKP? And Franco's kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
nova 3 runs pretty smoothly with cm9 and lean kernel with 1.5cpu oc and 512gpu oc.

However, as others mentioned it basically has zero special effects turned on and its much less smoother than nova 3 on my ipad 3 which has a lot of the special effects enabled.

Still a fun game on the galaxy nexus though, but it does highlight the fact that the galaxy nexus GPU is a bit under powered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
All effects are enabled when using the Nvidia plugin and it still runs pretty smooth. The occasional lag but nothing a higher over clock won't fix
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bonvaz:
what's your setting?for me is not playable in the second level in the sun...too much laggy...I'm on rascream+ franco/trinity....

I know that without effects game is smooth like butter,but I want it smooth with all the graphical effects men ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Game really looks great with all the effects enabled using chain fire 3d and nvidia plugin. However its just too laggy even w 1.6cpu oc and 512gpu oc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBbL0tD3RjI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This is a video showing the nexus running nova 3 with the chain fire nvidia plugin. It looks pretty smooth to me!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
can you give me the link to the video you are referring please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
Tried just now,graphic quality is awesome but smoothness is gone to hell!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Guys, here is my setup for a smooth gameplay experience:

Latest CM9 Nightly (doesn't matter which ROM honestly, atleast 4.0.4 though)

Latest Trinity kernel w/ 1500mhz CPU overclock and GPU at 512mhz.

Chainfire 3D w/ Nvidia plug-in installed.

I tried the game on the CM9 default kernel with CPU set at 1200mhz along with the nvidia plugins and it was very laggy. Transitioning and loading new scenes also resulted in heavy stuttering.

After just applying Trinity's kernel and overclocking the CPU and GPU to the max there was a TREMENDOUS jump in performance - it literally plays without any lag at all. See the Galaxy S III play the game, it looks/feels just like that.

The only issue I have now is that the Trinity kernel adjusted the screen colors, now the game's dark scenes are very dark and hard to see LOL.

Hopefully this helps the rest of you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
But the overclock is too heavy,in about 2 hour battery will be completely discharged i guess
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
You can't have your cake and eat it. It runs well which is what everyone is asking for. If you're concerned about battery life then don't play a f****** game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
what do you use to overclock the CPU? and what for the GPU?

did you overvolt CPU? and GPU?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
I used the built-in CM performance tuning app in settings. For the GPU it's set at 512 by default I think. I left voltages alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
Calm down lady ,it was only a personal opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bonvaz:
my problem is that when some time ago I tried a kernel with 512 gpu games(lane splitter,flick kick football) had graphical problems,so I went back to 384 gpu :(..tried trinity(also with overclock at 1500),but no way..still laggy :(
