Just a Q. There are times when i encounter and have to search to get a answer. More often than not there is a thread that answers part of my Q but which can be considered an old thread. As i may have a few other questions, which would be the best course of action? To ask my Q in that thread (thereby reviving it) or simply start a new thread in, say, Q&A?

Sent from me to you
[XPERIA X8 General] SpyderX:
It is up to you actually, but I'd say revive the old thread -- one less thread and people will probably see and answer your question. Plus there might be new info, so the old thread gets "updated" in a sense.
[XPERIA X8 General] - Swift -:
Yeah, but if the thread was made prior to 2010 I wouldn't revive it.

I agree with you on this specific point. You are absolutely right, as I see lots of users flamming and spamming the thread instead of reporting it. I also see a lot of 'inb4l' posts which also spam the thread.

So, I 101% agree with this :)

As long if you don't ask the Questions in the dev-forum, use the Q&A section :D

Is your question partially answered in the Q&A, I do prefer to revive the thread instead of using a new one. But if you do make a new one, I'm not going mad :eek:

android development section is place for placing theme rom start for last few day ago? original android development section is place to real developer... the moderator also change already....

many of them add some self tweak(which actually take some file from other rom), free apk form market , + some theme, supercharges etc combined to become 1 rom.

i respect some of them very work hard for doing theme to make rom with nice look which take long time , but some of them is copy paste which can be done at less then 10 min with replace original apk. since the original android development announce , the development section come out with multiple of this kind of rom....
[XPERIA X8 General] veyka:
"Best rom" or "Best kernel" threads are something I personally take a dim view of, as pointless, those kind of threads also often turn into flamefests when people start defending or heavily promoting their favorite developer!

Also this is as good a place as any to say "Hello" as one of the new moderators for this section ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
Agreed. There's no point in them..

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycaveman:
Yesterday, I started having problems on CM9 with my touchscreen not responding (couldn't unlock my phone, capacitive buttons still worked). Neither rebooting nor factory reset helped, so I figured I would Odin back to stock JFD and see if that would help.

Fired up Odin, loaded the PIT and JFD tar, selected repartition, flash finished successfully and then... nothing. My phone would boot to the Vibrant screen and sit there; can't even get into recovery (download mode still works fine). Tried messing around with different files (JDF, JI6, KB5, Eugene's Froyo) with no joy.

Decided on a whim to try flashing the boot.img through Heimdall and behold, I can now get to recovery! However, attempting to flash a ROM does not work; my phone will continually boot into recovery no matter what I flash (cm7.2, cm9, ICS Passion).

TL;DR: Odin to stock = phone stuck at Vibrant screen; flash cm9 boot.img = only boot to recovery

I've never run into a problem like this from flashing or using Odin before. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
1) Did you try Odining again after the boot.img flash?

2) Try heimdalling with the files. Unzip the tar and add the partitions for each file in the Flash tab.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycaveman:
Just tried using Heimdall to do the full flash (de-compressed the JFD.tar file) and it's still a no go. And yes, I had tried using Odin after flashing the boot.img. I also thought I might be able to recover by nandroid backup from stock, but that didn't work (got a boot recover error)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
Can you get at dmesg with adb shell?

adb shell dmesg
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycaveman:
I cannot connect through adb when I flash stock, but when I use the CM9 boot.img I get the following from dmesg, see attached
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinoSoup:
Download mode doesn't work on CM9. Downgrade to CM7, and there should be an option in the recovery menu to go into download mode. If not, you should still be able to do it while it attempts to reboot back into recovery mode; just do the button press to do it. But, I'd try flashing CM7 multiple times in a row to see if it can actually boot up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
Download mode does work while you have CM9 installed. And there's no option to boot to download from CWM recovery afaik.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycaveman:
I can get into download mode just fine from CM9, but screwed up my phone when attempting to Odin back to stock. Also, I tries flashing CM7.2 a few time without success. Good thought, though; it's saved me before.

If it helps, when I flash cm7, the boot logo changes, it just continues to boot into recovery. Might it have to do with cm needing mtd whereas I've flashed back to bml? Is there any way to force mtd formatting from the cm kernel?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Can you get to JFD and get it to boot up completely? I think that you should do that first to make sure your partitions are as they should first. Then once you do that, I suggest flashing a simple CM7.1 stable and get that to boot you completely. If at any point something goes haywire, we will have a better chance at diagnosis and able to rule out some things here and there.

Codes to check your partitions either through ADB or terminal app.

Su
Df busybox -h

If you need ANY files like CM7 or bootloaders or a GB bootloader enhanced JFD package PM me and ill send them to you. Won't be until later on tonight though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycaveman:
Unfortunately, I cannot get into any form of stock (even recovery). If I use a CM kernel, it then will boot into recovery, and only recovery. I was on stock bootloader, but I flashed it again this morning, just to be sure.

Here's the output from my df (I believe you meant 'busybox df -h'...)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Yes, you are correct about the code. Sorry about that. I was on the bus on my way home from work and mistyped.

What I think that you need to do is Odin back JFD and let it boot up. It will have the Froyo Bl's and stock recovery. From what I am reading, you are trying to run a "Stock" ROM wiht a CM9 kernel and that can't happen. The kernels are not cross-OS compatible. We want to get you booted up to a running ROM without messing with boot.imgs or somehow corrrupting your data.

Here is what I would do. Odin to JFD (not a 2.2 "stock") and then get it to boot up. Then flash CM7 and get it to boot up, again without messing with CWR or boot.imgs. Then we can go from there. After that we can go to an ICS variant.

From what I can see, your /data partition is still in tact, which means that you have NOT been hit with the Encryption Bug. This is good, but I suspect that if you keep messing with the boot.imgs, different versions of CWR or mis-matching kernels to ROMs, then you are flirting with disaster. First things first. Get to full Stock 2.1 and then go from there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
He can't get stock to boot though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Ok then. I thought that I had read that he was flashing a CM7 ROM with a CM9 kernel. There are two similar threads going on about something like this and I might have mixed up some of the posts.

I'll work on the other guy for the time being and check in here every once in awhile. Thanks FE!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycaveman:
Well, good news! I stopped by T-Mobile and they were (somehow) able to get my phone to boot! The first guy looked at it and couldn't get anything done and couldn't help me much since my phone's out of warranty, but another employee picked it up and got it working; said she "just pushed buttons" until it started, mainly did a "master reset" until it continued booting. Tried flashing CM7 and it worked. Think I might try going back to stock to see if I run into the issue again, but kinda don't want to risk it.

By the way, FaultException, while I (kind of) have your attention, have you had anyone else report issues with their touchscreen all of a sudden not responding in CM9? It seemed to happen rarely for me until right before I had this problem...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
I've had something similar happen. Like the screen only wanting to go on dim and maybe one time it couldn't be touched. A reboot should clear it up though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinoSoup:
Download mode doesn't work on my vibrant? Tried hundreds of times from CM9.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
How are you trying? Powered off + Hold volume keys + Plug in USB?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinoSoup:
Every single method, not once working.

- From my iPad!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
Well adb reboot download doesn't work. Plugging it in while holding both volume keys while it's off works for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dr.Strangelove.:
I dragged and dropped everything off my phone to ensure there was a backup. Now when I dragged it back I noticed that all the apps and app data isn't there. Why is that? Is there an app I need?

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Biohazard0289:
In order to make an easier backup of apps you'll need to use an app to do it (Titanium or something similar).

You should be able to find the apk files in /data/apps. Just install them from there.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
My backup root, imo, works better than TiBu.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tptp:
I'm surprised that this hasn't been mentioned very much, but exchange for the stock i9000 app is horrendous. It used to be unusable in eclair and froyo. Now it's actually works but finds it impossible to handle pictures within emails. When I open any kind of email with pictures (not attachments), it seems unable to scroll. The CM7 email app simply doesn't load the pictures.

Does anyone know of a fix for this? Also does the problem persist in the SII or SIII?

NB there are some ported ones in the themes and apps page, none for gingerbread though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinu_h:
My experience with the stock email client hasn't been good either. Hotmail for example, gets added as an exchange account and it does not sync properly. No luck with K9 either. The slow and buggy hotmail app works ok though.

[Click Android Development] deba1994:
In this Guide I Will teach you How to Port (almost) Any ROM to our HTC Tattoo (might work with every Phone)

Note:

The ROM which you are porting from will be referred to at PORT

The ROM to which you will make changes will be referred to as BASE

1. Delete system/app from the BASE and add the system/app from PORT to the BASE

2. Open system/bin in both and add the extra files from PORT to BASE (

TIP

: Easy way would be copy all the files from BASE to PORT , delete the ones in BASE and copy the ones in PORT)

3. Open system/etc in both...dont touch the folders in both...add the extra other files from PORT to BASE(PS : again the tip in step two can be used here )

4. Delete system/framework in BASE and add the system/framework from PORT To BASE

5. Open system/lib in both....add the extra .so files from PORT to BASE (PS : Use the tip from step two)

6. Delete system/media from BASE and add from system/media from PORT to BASE

7. Now open system/xbin in both...add the extra files from PORT to BASE (PS : Use the tip from step two)

8. Make Changes to build.prop and rename the .zip of BASE

9. Best of luck

REMEMBER at the end of this the BASE will be the ROM you are making!!!!

Also Remember try to use a PORT which has a screen resolution close to your device so that you dont have to resize.

Also this will not guarantee a fully functional build..though sometimes if you are in luck you may get a fully functional one ;)
[Click Android Development] deba1994:
Reserved
[Click Android Development] armands64:
Is this how you port your ROM's?
[Click Android Development] deba1994:
Yes..the current two roms i have made i used this...also, of course resizing to had to be done :D
[Click Android Development] tanmay.sharma:
can please elaborate a little more about the build prop and its changes.

It want to try this thing for my own use and I had seen your CM7 modded with i style look and I need to port that on my wildfire.

So I understand everything but the build prop. where should I get that
[Click Android Development] deba1994:
Hi tanmay.sharma

It depends on the ROM

still , I'll give u examples

1. Porting say MIUI with CM7 as base

Change these lines

ro.build.version.incremental=eng.jenkins.20120615.144321

ro.config.ringtone=Playa.ogg

ro.config.notification_sound=regulus.ogg

ro.config.alarm_alert=Alarm_Beep_03.ogg

ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-7.2.0

TO

ro.build.version.incremental=Release 2.1

ro.config.ringtone=MI.ogg

ro.config.notification_sound=FadeIn.ogg

ro.config.alarm_alert=GoodMorning.ogg

ro.modversion=Click MIUIv3

2. If porting another device rom, like i ported SEMC rom from X10 MINI

You will have to change these lines to the device u porting from like in this case X10 Mini

ro.product.brand=SEMC

ro.product.name=E10i_1254-2716

ro.product.device=E10i

ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson

and add more extra manufacturer lines!!!

Hope it helps :)

if more help needed feel free to ask!
[Click Android Development] desiboyz:
Cannot understend

Dear

i cannot understand that how we change the port.

This procedure work with the help of adb shell or other method

sorry for stupid question. I am not dev or proff.

thanks
[Click Android Development] deba1994:
Nope ..no shell needed ...gets the zips of both the rooms on your comp ...unpack using your favourite file manager (eg. WinRAR) ...do all the steps and repack..transfer to your phone.. flash it on your phone ..cross your fingers :)

Remember.. this doesn't always guarantee a perfect port.. there maybe some bugs!!

Good tip! Addictive gameplay, good graphics, runs without any hiccups, well made controls and it´s far better than other freemium games because In App Purchases aren´t necessary.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
First off, I would just like to thank all the devs who have worked like mad men on giving all us dinc users some delicious Ice Cream Sandwich, for without your amazing work I surely would have thrown my phone in a fit of rage into a wall a loooong time ago. Now, even though there's no official word yet, until later this morning :), I think it's safe to assume that Jellybean will end up being named Android OS 4.1 instead of 5.0 (ICS, but with improvements). With all of this in mind, is it possible that we could actually get some JB love? I understand that we'll have to wait until they release the source code to know for sure, but with what we've heard so far it sounds like it actually could be possible. Idk, am I just missing something obvious here?

P.S. I'm asking this mostly because I'm trying to get my posts # up (I'm new here, be nice), although I'd love if we could entertain this thought for a moment. I think I only have like 2 posts so far (cuz I ACTUALLY search for stuff, WOW!!!!) so bear with me, please and thank you!
