I too have noticed these prices. I know things change from store to store and sometimes associate to associate but I wonder about the possibility of Best Buy matching those prices?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] planoman:
That is a good price. It was not that when I got my phone in the 21st. I guess I paid the tax (45) to have the phone on the 21st. I called them to ask why the HOX was the same price as att off contract but the sgsIII was like 650 vs 550. They said they had not even noticed and must have changed it.

Has Amazon started shipping yet?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dwd3885:
Would have ordered through Amazon if it were $549 when I ordered from AT&T. I ordered from AT&T on Saturday for $549, at that time Amazon was selling for $649.

Oh well! I'm getting it today from AT&T overnight for free.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] scav1180:
Amazon hasnt shipped out yet..

Well at least for me. I have a ETA of 7/2 but dont really care when it comes in..
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BakaNeko59:
Well, at least in Washington and California you DO pay tax on Amazon orders. That's cuz they have offices in those states (and probably others).
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] fullblast:
Not in Cali yet. Amazon Prime FTW.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] scav1180:

No tax in california.

unless you buy from vendors that are not fulfilled by amazon.

[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
In case someone would like to build an own image based on the stock firmware,

I wrote a script that performs the neccessary steps (which where mostly described at the xda-forums) automatically on a linux based system.

It is very raw, and is not well optimized. It also is using many sudo calls for creating and modifying the image. Maybe someone has another, better solution.

Usage:

Download and unpack the ExtractAOS archive:

tar xfj ExtractAOS.tar.bz2

At first you need to place a AOS update file (firmware_archos_it4.aos) into the "dl" folder.

Then copy a busybox.tar.bz2 file, which contains the statically linked binaries of busybox (no subdirectories) inside the archive:

ash
busybox
cat
chgrp
...

Also make sure that following tools are installed on your system:

unsquash

unzip

tar

Then start the main script:

./unpackAOS

You will see a menu like this:

---------- Unpack and Modify Archos image -----------

1 Cleanup: Umount all mounted devices and delete all created files.
2 Download needed packages
3 Setup build directory
4 Create new Ext4 loop image and mount it to MOUNT_DIR
5 Extract AOS image
6 Copy AOS image contens into /data/ExtractAOS/archos_update_folder
7 Modify image in /data/ExtractAOS/archos_update_folder
8 Finish image and unmount it
88 Perform step 3-8 automatically
99 Exit

Then download needed tools via menu item "2".

If the download are successfully done, then you can enter "88"

to build your own archos.ext4.update image file.

Notes:

I'm on a 64 bit system. Letama seems to provide binaries also for 32 bit sytems. In that case, you can modify and set the correct binary within the script file.

This script is intended to provide a base for developers which want their own customisations ;)

Special thanks to:

On which firmwares did you test this script?

There was an error in squashfs header in 4.0.5-4.0.6 FW (including test releases)- androidmerged.squashfs.secure could be mounted as loop but not extracted
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
Hi,

I builded my image based on the current 4.0.7 aos-update file.

I'm using archlinux 64 bit.

Which arch are you using? Can you please verify that the correct extractAOS binaries are downloaded within the script?

The script doesn't mount the androidmerged.squashfs.secure as loop device, but copies all the data from androidmerged.squashfs to a temporary folder named "output_folder".

Can you please provide a console output? Maybe there is some more information?...
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
I didn't test the script (I stick to 3.2.80).

For modifying I use LeTamas' "manual" method- correct binaries are present (linux 32bit). Unpacking .aos file works fine but I had problems with unsquashfs (header error in =<4.0.6 fw) so the only option was mount -o loop.

If it works for 4.0.7= Archos corrected the error
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
Hi!

I've just downloaded the 4.0.6 version from archos servers.

h**p:// update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_4.0.6/firmware_archos_it4.aos

Unpacking of the squashfs still works here...

Maybe you missed the needed steps:

cd $BASEPATH/firmware_archos_it4/root/data
dd if=androidmerged.squashfs.secure of=androidmerged.squashfs bs=256 skip=1

if [ -d output_folder ]; then
rm -f output_folder
fi
unsquashfs -d output_folder androidmerged.squashfs
[Gen9 Android Development] suddenStrike:
Maybe stupid question but why we need this busybox ( this archive actually is missing)? I think there is busybox already from the archive is that archive is rooted or give us something more?
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
Hi,

I saw that another customized roms contains an updated busybox, which can provide more features.

(Honestly, I don't know which feature is it worth to replace the builtin busybox... . :angel:)

If you want to build an image without this step, just comment out the busybox call.

The busybox archive is missing, because I don't know If I have the permission to include a compiled (from other people) busybox by default.

[Dev] CM9 Mod Extension

Help!

I can't wait to try out the final build from Anybody interested in testing a CM9 super-alpha build in a week or so?, so I decided to try out a modification of the stock rom with CM9 by myself. And yes, today zygote has startet and I got a screen =)

I would like to share with you, what I did and I hope that you can give some code extensions to build a better mod script.

So, let's go:

1) Compile cyanogen mod

Install prerequisites

(I used Ubuntu Precise 32bit in a chrooted environment)

Then perform like suggested a repo init/sync:

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
repo sync

Then perform a compile action:

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch full_panda-eng
mka

PS: I had to modify the cyanogen_root/external/webkit/Android.mk

because there where build errors:

# Build the performance command line tool.
#include $(WEBKIT_PATH)/android/benchmark/Android.mk

Get some coffee :) I full build will take about an hour (on my system).

2) Unpack Archos stock image

You can use my tool at #1 of this thread!

PS: I used 407 stock image...

3) Create a loop image and mount it into a folder

You can use my script for that.

4) Get my new archive and unpack it.

Go into that folder and modify the bash script Porting.sh to match the folder paths:

export CYANOGEN=/cynogen_mod/out/target/product/panda
export STOCK=/ExtractAOS/firmware_archos_it4/root/data/output_folder/
export OUT=/Android/Development/mount

Run the script as root!

sudo ./Porting.sh

You get a file system contents in $OUT. Unmount the loop directory and

load it into the media update path as usual:

adb push archos.ext4.update /data/media/ && adb reboot

That's it! You should get a CM9 desktop.

------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------

That was the good news! The bad:

The current state is a proof of concept.

I'm really hope that you can contribute to the modding script: I'm not an android expert!

Dirty technical details:

I had to use the existing vendor libraries especially the graphics drivers (I tried to use the panda binaries, with no luck :-/ ).

I moved them into the /system/vendor/lib folder and symlinked the libraries to /system/lib. This way it seems to much cleaner.

I modify the init.rc script to mount the data directory into /data2 to not interfere with existing archos installation. Later we should be able to point to that directory again. (Hint: to update the development you must use a adapted adb update command:

adb push archos.ext4.update /data2/media/ && adb reboot

From the first test, I saw that I have no real touchscreen, it worked like a "mouse" controlled environment. Maybe because the panda board has an mouse as input device.

Thanks.

PS: I'm curious how JackpotCalvin has solved the CM9 integration, It sounds way better than my solution...
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Nice one :)

Some thoughts:

-why do you copy $STOCK/usr/bin/[binary name] when later all $STOCK/usr dir is copied?

-there should be no need to place PowerVR in /system/vendor/lib/[...], /system/lib/[...] should work fine

-check prelinks for existing libs and adjust prelink map for [repo path]/device/ (this may not be necessary, last system I compiled was Froyo)
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
I'm stopping my efford because I'm at a point, where I learned that just replacing the files between both sources (Panda Board CM9 builded binaries and Archos Stock ROM) is not a 100% solution.

I resolved my input devices setup, by copying the corresponding icd (and other) foles to the output folder. Then I had unresolved issues by getting WLAN to work. I found out, that in libandroid.so and libandroid_legacy.so are coded the modules which are needed for WIFI. Panda board is compiled w/o WIFI, so there are no

wifi modules loaded. (After I load wl12xx_sdio.ko manually by using insmod, the wlan was functional!).

The solution IMHO must be, to compile an adapted CM9 with all hardware specific settings. Maybe the customized files can also moved inside the device configuration directory so that the merge script is obsolete (my hope).

So I decided to either to wait until JackpotClavin is posting his CM9 configuration files

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28439197&postcount=80

or to learn how to make a new device on CM which maches our Archos device. (Maybe someone else can give me some archos specific instructions).

Update: Great! JackpoClavin has provided sources =)

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You must have a kernel that can be overclocked. Stock Acer kernels can not.

Here is the only OC/UV kernel for the a500;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703590

Also, I suggest you "un-install" either setCpu or SystemTuner. You should only run "1" overclocking application. I prefer SystemTunerPro. Others prefer SetCpu.

Have fun!

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yes it fits. It's a size 39cm, which is perfect for the 500 ;)

EZ_Terry should have a CWM flashable zip. I would think you have a Custom Recovery installed? Like CWM? If not, you will have to install one.

All games and apps should still be there after flashing the kernel. However, it is advisable to do a CWM System Backup before ever installing anything.

on other sites said that: ``On the official firmware to install Android 4.0.3 ClockworkMod Recovery is not possible! Even if you have root rights! You thereby break the standard rekaveri and can not in future updates!``

it is a real?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You should ask Ez_terry on his OC/UV kernel thread what is required. He will have the answers.

As with "rekaveri" and getting future updates, you 50% broke that when you rooted.

There is no such option on Xperia phones.

Without root, you cannot turn off the autobrightness. That is, only with root you can turn it off.

The screen flickering means light sensor is changing the screen brightness.

I think you have to upgrade it, if you are in FW .58 or .42. If you are in .62 may you have to re-flash it. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Sure, but even with a rooted phone there's no option to disable autobrightness.

You have to install "Disable Auto Brightness Xperia".

Or you can edit /etc/hw_config.sh to disable the light sensor.

Hi there,

I've got a small problem concerning Nova and Apex launchers on various custom ICS roms (i.e. Cassie's XtraLiteRom ICS Version 4 or Modded Lite AlBa LQ3 Final Stage). It's weird, because they don't "normally" FC, instead they freeze (in the same manner) for a while with black screen (notification bar still working) or with the frozen picture of app I currently use.

Hi,

The CyanogenMod 9.0 has been in the works for quite a long time now but it seems it is only a matter of time now before the final version gets released. But before we get there, the CyanogenMod team has decided to release the first Release Candidate today, that includes support for 50 devices.

The difference between this update and the previous nightlies is that the OS has now been stabilized, meaning any further developments will focus on adding support for new devices rather than improving the OS itself.

The list of devices currently supported include devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, Captivate, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, LG Nitro HD, Optimus Sol, ASUS EeePad Transformer, Transformer Prime, Sony Xperia ray, Xperia mini, Xperia active, HTC Sensation and many more.

It happened when you unlocked the bootloader, but you failed to chedk before you went ahead and flashed the custom kernel and ROM. Restore to original firmware, relock the bootloader and hope that it will fix your problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ricjps:
Many thanks for your answer, but

How can i do that?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Use PC Companion to repair your phone as follows:

Leave your phone unplugged from your computer

Start PC Companion and choose update

It won't find your phone and offer you a repair option

Choose that and follow the steps

When it asks to connect your phone in flashmode, you phone needs to be turned off, you press the back-button and plug in the usb-cable, it will start flashing the original firmware

After it is done you open S1Tool

Press the Restore button, it will relock your bootloader

Hopefully your simcard will be detected again after that.
