[HTC Wildfire S] 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 the size will be 3.2 HVGA since the WFS is an HVGA device.

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

Step 25: Connect your phone ( in this case, Wildfire S) 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

Hey, this looks promising!

Can't wait to see the rest. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
I have heard that using GLaDOS Control its possible to unlock and lock the bootloader on a Galaxy Nexus. So.. Here's my situation lol I don't have a computer at the moment. I'm going to be ordering a G-Nex shortly and I need root and unlocked bootloader.. I remember some devices (like my old G2 and GS1) you could temp root from the device via an app or terminal emulator commands and downloaded packages and then perm root through more commands in terminal emulator.

Is it possible for such a thing to be possible with the G-Nex? Gain temp root through terminal emulator commands and downloaded files and then use GLaDOS Control to unlock the bootloader, then download ROM manager and flash CWM, then download the SU and busy box binaries and flash them through CWM, and then enjoy my Nexus?

Or am I just shooting blindly in the dark? I really want CM9 and MIUI and maybe to try AOKP as I've heard so much about it.. But without a computer that seems impossible! :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Not sure what GlaDOS Control does, but it certainly cannot unlock or relock the bootloader. Only a connection to a computer can do that.

But yes, you can do everything you want, but I don't understand why?

1) You can root without unlocking the bootloader, see here.

2) But there is no need, as a GNEx comes with an unlockable/relockable bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Lol my friend, I am looking to do all this without a computer. And according to the developer of the GLaDOS kernel and the app GLaDOS Control, the app has the ability to unlock and re-lock at will.. I've been doing a lot of reading (he posts his Nexus stuff only on the other main android rooting site) and his users have stated the unlocking and re-locking works as intended.. But the app requires root to function.

I don't have a computer at the moment.. But I would very much love to have a way to root without a computer. Do you understand?

*edit* and I did look at the link you provided but it states that you need a computer. I don't want you to think I blindly just responded without first regarding your opinion. And I thank you for even responding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
There is NO way to "root-without-unlocking-the-bootloader" without using a computer.

And, there is NO way to unlock/relock the bootloader without a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Well that is sad to hear.. But where there's a will, there's a way right? Hopefully with brainstorming I'll figure something out.

By the way, if you're really sure that it's impossible to unlock and relock the bootloader without a computer, you might wanna go yell at this guy who says he's made it possible..

http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/14685-[28-MAY]-GLaDOS-V1.34#entry705790
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
OP is talking about this:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Much obliged sir! This is exactly what I was talking about.. Now if there were some way to use terminal emulator to gain temp root via an exploit and then use GLaDOS Control to unlock the bootloader you could theoretically have done it all without a computer. And that would be not only amazing but useful to many people in my situation where access to a computer is incredibly limited and sometimes impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You need to flash an unsecure boot.img though and the only way is with a computer + fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
I gotcha. And thank you to Efrant (spelling?) for your help as well. I guess I'm just going to have to hijack a library computer or something and pray it allows installs.. Not likely but I can pray lol

I miss that about the G2 and other older devices. On device temp root was a blessing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Hmmm. Interesting. They may have found a way. A bunch of us started looking into it in this thread, but it kinda lost wind. Looks like it is related to flashing the param partition as we had thought.

I'm looking forward to looking into this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Ezekeel is quite the thinker ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Truth!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Based on the Google+ post, it seems like it was AdamOutler who figured it out, not Ezekeel... ;)

P.S. For his one-click, look at the credits...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Can op find a buddy with a computer to fastboot oem real quick? The world is yours with that one quick trip.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Lol I don't have too many friends in Texas yet, they're all back in Massachusetts but I'm sure I can find some one lol I can't imagine not having root after dozens of Android devices all being rooted lmao ESPECIALLY if I'm owning a Nexus!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
where in texas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
I'm in Central Texas in a little town called Temple
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
damn. yep, that's pretty central and far away from bigger cities. and less likely finding android nuts. have a library around there that might allow you to get the i think 4 files you need to fastboot oem unlock from a command prompt on their computer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snoopy1e11:
Glados control can unlock your boot loader also it does it without wiping the phone but it does not root the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
I know there's a library but I'm not sure if it block access to downloads and installs. Definitely gonna check though! Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Small town i would think not. Bigger libraries do. You might be able to put the files on a thumb drive, load up command prompt, change your directory to thumb drive and do it that way. Dont get your hopes up though. Maybe somwbody with experience doing that way could chime in.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Chances are that command prompt is blocked as well.

If you can make a shortcut on the desktop which links to cmd or command you might get it to work :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Actually that might work. You would have modify the commands a bit to move them off the directory but that could work..

And this is why I wanted brainstorming lol I am not smart enough to think of it all by myself!

@rbiter that is genius! Even if it don't work still genius.

Question: I'm going to be ordering my Nexus soon, probably Thursday (payday) and I wanna know, is it recommended to go through Google Play Store or Expansys USA? Expansys has white.. Which is rare as I've never seen one in person lol and they also have no tax when it comes to shipping so I would be looking at $410 USD and then a premium if I wanted faster shipping. That seems like a great deal to me..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The bigger problem would be getting the drivers to install. You need admin rights on windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
i ordered mine from expansys when it first came out. negri and expansys come highly recommended here. might want to double check your warranty options, and how long the agonizing might be if you need to utilize it. also, amazon has some resellers that are fulfilled through amazon. the one i chose for my sister was fulfilled through amazon, they answered my email in less than 24 hours and the answer they gave me was they fulfill warranty obliglations like negri and expansys. 2 years but you have to send to them so they can send to uk or where ever. honestly, if you're not royally anal like some of the users that had slightly less than perfect screens, google play store would be the way to go for local warranty. but if a little bit of purple at lowest brightness bothers you probably an order fulfilled through amazon would be the best for return/exchange policy and be priced in between negri/expansys and google play store. if you like helping out the smaller retailer and are willing to brave whatever problem might arise purchase through negri or expansys.

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

true, but if it is a small boondocks library, he probably won't run into that problem. my area has one of the better funded libraries in texas and they didn't have restrictions the first few years they ran public access computers. i know they've upgraded a lot a couple years back so i am willing to bet the computers are on lockdown but it doesn't hurt for him to see what he is up against. heck, he might make an android buddy at the library. or android girlfriend if his luck is great. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Lmao and making friends would be great!

H'm maybe I'll just order through the Play Store. I'm loading trr page right on chrome beta to see if they offer different levels of shipping and whatnot. One reason Expansys is so attractive (Negri too) is the no tax. But ordering direct from Google means dealing with Google customer service and I've heard great things about them.
[General Questions and Answers] TotallyApps:
Hi, I am new to XDA Developers (but not to development). I've taken the time to answer ten questions and unlock the additional content. My reason for stopping here initially was to post a thread requesting testers for my Android App. However, reading the rules and descriptions for each board, it is not immediately obvious where (or even if) this is allowed.

The obvious place at first glance would be Android Software Development. However, it seems that posting there requires either a minimum of 500 posts or posting a new ROM. I don't have 500 posts and likely won't for many months, and this is about an app, not a ROM.

Anyone able to enlighten me on this?
[General Questions and Answers] burdman:
Under android Dev and hacking you will see " apps and games"
[General Questions and Answers] TotallyApps:
True, but it states "no commercial apps/games allowed". I should have mentioned in my OP that this is testing a commercial app. Although the test build is free, it seems like a pretty grey area, and would be afraid of being banned for looking like I'm trying to advertise my app. I'll probably just PM the mod over there to see what they say about it.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzigi05:
Hello everybody.

I have spent a better part of the day trying to figure out how to install a nice custom ICS rom on my Xperia Arc. I have read the newbie threads, I have downloaded a bunch of ROMS, kernels, wifi modules, basebands, custom recoveries, etc, etc, etc... but I'm tottaly lost in all of this, I'm losing my nerves, and I'm very close to trashing my arc and my PC with a sledgehammer...

So far I've managed to succesfully unlock my bootloader. I backed up my data before unlocking as well. I have this .62 gingerbread which as far as I figured out is a pain in the ass to root. I've tried going to .42 to use zergrush but fastboot says there's no space for it, I don't get it... I've also tried custom recovery but I can't get that to work also... tried pre-rooted also but no go... I pretty much go in circles in the last few hours and I'm going insane! I'm not even sure I need to root the phone to get that ICS rom...

Can somebody of you guys, and most of you probably have this stuff in your little finger, just write me a few noob-friendly pointers on how to install let's say TeamXperia V3 (looks shiny :D) on this arc of mine, so I can finally sleep today, THANKS A BUNCH!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
For the kernel are you using fastboot or flashtool? Try using flashtool(ensure it's the latest version)to flash any stock ICS rom then boot into that. Then download your chosen custom rom to the sd card, use fastboot to boot a custom kernel(ArkNight or doomkernelICS), enter recovery by spamming the back buttons when booting, wipe userdata/cache, flash the rom zip. Plus, have you downloaded all the sdk's etc. for fastboot/adb?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
- Flash the kernel..it contains CWM recovery

- Now copy the ROM zip into sd card and flash it

- Thats all you are done!

no need to root or do something..all roms are pre-rooted..you will save some time..

And use usb jig his warranty will get back
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
As stated above, youve been advised what to do, there is no magic cure.

You must flash it back to un-rooted stock, gb, then ics.

if the phone still doesnt work then you can give samsung a go, check the binary count is at zero, if not reset that to before you turn to samsung, i suspect tho that because the screen is damaged they wont repair it as its probably the owners negligence that its damaged, or if they do, theyll probably charge.

Do you have any phone insurance you could claim on?

either way you must go back to stock to at least see if it resolves it, and dont forget to check the imei.
