[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverfish99:
I was able to format the card to Fat32. The computer on windows xp can open the card, able to drag & drop files, however, when I insert to galaxy note, phone says damaged SD card. When I go to settings, there's only one option: Mount SD card. When I clicked on it, says Preparing Card, then says Damaged SD card. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Android version: 4.0.3

Kernel version 3.0.8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverfish99:
solved finally!

OMG! It was driving me mad. I installed Minitool Partition (freeware) and formatted microSDXC 64gb to Fat32, I could see it on my PC but the galaxy note says Blank. Rebooted phone, still the same. Went back to Minitool Partition and formatted sd card to NTFS. Reinserted to galaxy note, still says blank sd. Went back to Minitool again and reformatted back to Fat32, run checkdisk, reinserted card to galaxy note and voila!! The awesome phone is finally seeing it! Patience is a virtue indeed...lol

The most reliable way is to format the memory card on the Note itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decat:
Wasn't able to do that. No option to format on Pa. I used a tool which could be found in the sandisk topic. For me this was the only way to get it working.

Format on Phone

After waiting 50 days for my card to arrive i found that formating it in my Pc as NTFS woud make, when inserted in my G-Note (chilean N7000 with ICS 4.03 kernel 3.0.15) say it was nonworking filesystem and selecting the error message in the notification area give me the option to format in FAT32, now it works flawlessly and i'm very happy with the card, a 64GB sandisk class 6 i got from ebay at 64$ (us dollars) free shipping.

Sorry if I mispell anything but none of my key text is showing up, just got done editing the keyboard colors and isn't showing up HELP!

The only way I was able to fix it was to restore and reedit...that was weird
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rubenflush:
Maybe you should try another keyboard from the Play Store. If the keys don't show up neither, the problem is further than only the Android keyboard.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ebs512:
I got it to work shortly after, the problem was I edited another version of the apk and that's what caused it to mess up, all is well now, thanks for the feedback :D

Anybody know of a way to run say, python or perl on an android?
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
well i thought i'd get this up before source for JB (4.1) drops... I'm looking for a dev willing to let me watch them as they build a ROM and make changes to that ROM... no i don't need to come over your house to do this... I was thinking of a live video stream of your screen as you do the work... if you're willing to allow me to watch and maybe answer a few questions in between, i'm willing to learn!!

i learn really fast if i'm watching someone do it which is why i'm taking this approach rather than trying to read through a bunch of threads on this topic... that stuff basically looks like a foreign language to me... especially when they talk linux stuff lol... i can catch on quickly but i need to SEE IT BEING DONE... not reading and having my brain decode what i just read...

so please pass this thread along... the site i'm looking to use is join.me and it can be viewed by more than one person... so if someone else is willing to jump in on the fun and the dev is cool with it... we all can watch as they work their magic...

preferably someone that's gonna be building on crespo/crespo4g... but i'll take whoever is willing to teach!!

disclaimer: i'm not even looking for a real "expert" on the subject... just someone to do the basic work so i can take notes and then do the stuff myself!!

PM me if you're a dev and willing to help out!! what do you have to lose? nothing really... you're just gonna load the program and let it stream as you do the stuff you normall would do...

sn: it doesn't have to be Jelly Bean... but seeing as source is coming out soon... i figured someone will want to start fresh and build from aosp... that's really where i'd like to start from!!
[Nexus S General] sniper:
I'd love to watch too :)

[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
umm. the best way to do it is to just follow the step by step guides online. doesnt get much easier than that. you watching isn't going to help when they already have all the software installed
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
thanks but i have everything i need to build a ROM installed and have already built one from CM9 source... i'm talking about all the other edits and things they do... ie: adding in or removing features of a ROM...

and if you re-read my OP... i said reading this stuff is like learning another language... i'm a visual learner... i need to SEE these things then do them... not read them and try to decode whatever i just read...
[Nexus S General] shane6374:
I just happen to work for a company the makes tools to help visual learners.
[Nexus S General] Techno Droid:
Yea I'm willing too. I got a few things going here. Along with ubuntu, sdk, java6, android kitchen. I'm more of a visual learner. I've been constantly researching to point where my brain hurts to think android. I need a break. But I'm willing as well. Some devs out there no even respond to help needed. I would love to watch Fergie716 at work tho. :rolleyes:

[Nexus S General] gparent:
I agree with the OP, one thing I think is missing (or at least in my experience hard to find) in the Android ROM community is a set of guides on how to properly do things (branch with repo to make a mod, apply patches from other trees, add prebuilt apks, add source provided apps, integrate su, busybox, creating your own vendor, device, adding your kernel, etc)

It's all scattered all over the net, sure you can figure some of it out but if you lower the barrier of entry people will be able to focus their energy on doing better work somewhere else.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
i really couldn't have said it any better!!

i know Fergie usually puts out some great tutorials... i used his stuff when i was learning to theme... so hopefully he delivers on this as well... i would still like to do a live "webinar-type" of training tho if any dev is up for that!!

we can get a time going so that everyone can login at the same time and see what's being done...
[Nexus S General] stellar:
I'd also like to see how its done, I would love to be able to cook up some things and then release a ROM to the public. I'm sure it's not easy but I'm willing to take a wack at it :)

Btw are you guys using pretty powerful computers for building ROMS? Or would you say they're average spec?
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
mine isn't that great tbh... but it manages to put out something... once your setup is correct and you do your first build... the second build of that ROM is usually a lot faster...

i think average would be around quad core with 8GB RAM... that's my guess based on a few devs i've heard from...
[Nexus S General] mixtapes08:
I like to learn too. But my pc is just dual core 3.0ghz 4gig ram what do you think?

Sent from my Nexus S™
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
it will take longer than some other PC's... but that will still work... i'd guess a few hrs to build a ROM... mine is around those specs and it takes a few hrs on the initial build lol
[Nexus S General] evol4g:
There should also be a thread for porting, kinda like "chef central" where users could get support on certain issues with their ports.. Over there in chef central the people seem to only help people that are building from source.. there's not too much support for people doing ports which is unfortunate because not everyone is skilled enough to build from source and having ports is what keeps some devices alive... In this thread there would be threads where you could post your logcat if your not getting boot and some of the more experienced porters (like fergie for example) could take a look and point you in the right direction. Also there could be guides and tutorials as how to get certain aspects of the ROM working like HWA, WiMax, MMS/SMS so on and so forth... I think that it would really bring a lot of new life to some devices that don't get the support that they should..

Anyone else agree on that or is just me?
[Nexus S General] gparent:
I agree with the whole sentiment "more people should build things", but not with "aosp is too hard so we should help people do ports". Unless a port is the only way to get a device working, we definitely should focus on making aosp easier to learn if that's part of a problem the porting people are having.

Anyway, I started my own ROM yesterday and might end up making a wiki to document a bunch of things I'm doing. It's a very stock-ish ROM though, so I won't spend much time writing about adding mods other than a few basic ones.

-IF- I do get around to making the wiki, I will post here about it.

As for the computer, I am using a i7 930 (2.8GHz) with 24GB of RAM.
[Nexus S General] ferozfero:
id like to ask.. is making a rom really difficult.. how much java language knowledge would a person need to have to build from source...?
[Nexus S General] gparent:
Well, one of the fun things about being a maintainer rather than a developer is that you really don't -need- much knowledge at all.

Everything helps, though. Yesterday I fixed a gcc compilation issue from knowledge of C++ that I acquired over a number of years. It wasn't a hard bug to fix and I could've asked a friend about it instead, but being a programmer lets me get away with fixing mistakes I see in AOSP when it's necessary (it rarely is).

Later, in my kernel compile, I turned on a compilation flag because I knew that a warning (that failed the build due to -Werror) was completely inaccurate. Good luck doing this if you don't know what's a compilation flag, and good luck doing it safely if you're not sure what the warning means and if it is really safe to override it (it often isn't).

If you want to make a ROM and be efficient about it, I think the two most important skills (in order of importance) are the ability to use git and to solve problems. Without a minimum of source control ease, it will be a pain in the ass to add features to your mods or to keep track of changes efficiently (especially when it comes the time to branch off releases and what not). Problem solving is what you do whenever stuff that should work doesn't work. And it's always hard because if it wasn't hard it would be documented already so you wouldn't have the problem.

If you want to build FEATURES for a mod (that is, not repack what others have written), then yes you will need programming knowledge. Java, C and probably C++. Mostly Java for user facing stuff.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
great post gparent... that was a wonderful breakdown of how ROM making works... if it's all true (which it sounds like it), then this might be a bit more than i can chew lol... i'm still willing to see someone in action do these things so i have a better understanding of how to put things together and maybe one day i'll take a stab at building my own ROM!!
[Nexus S General] sniper:
:eek::what: wow, lol

If any other devs come by I'd love to know what setups you guys use for developing too.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I just got the yakjuxw 4.0.4 update ota on my stock unrooted galaxy nexus (previously 4.0.2). I have the white international version and if I'm not mistaken, am receiving updates through samsung not Google.

There is hope for those of you yakjuxw stock users!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Many people here have posted it that YAKJUXW got the update to 4.0.4..

I used YAKJUXW 4.0.2 ROM but I didn't want to wait anymore so I flashed TAKJU and then Jelly Bean 4.1 and now everything is better... I still miss YAKJUXW ICS.

Hopefully YAKJUXW gets 4.1 update soon, if not then that's cr#p..

Hi guys,

I'm sorry! I'm not permitted to post to development-related forums, so post the question in here.

I downloaded kabaldan's cm9 source and built a rom, but it can't startup after update to my milestone.

After reboot phone, it stay at moto logo.

Anyone know what's problem?

It'd be helpful to share experiences about apps that prevent your phone from going into deep sleep.

Hopefully, this thread can help not only the users but the dev side also as long as our smart phones yet haven't been coming with decent batteries.

The deep sleep issue might make your precious apps uninstalled by users no matter how good they're. So, don't forget to take this issue into account when doing development.

* MY SUSPICIOUS APPS *

- Chrome 18.0.1025123 (official)

* A friend here advised that might be solved by disabling auto sync the Chrome in Google Account. But I had never tried before uninstalled it. If you loved Chrome but have deep sleep problem, would give it a chance.

Also you may try other tips from our friends in this thread.

- Vitamio ARMv7+NEON 1.2.8 plug-in for Super Video 1.2.8

* The Super Video itself doesn't cause deep sleep problem. The plug-in does

- IM+ 6.2.4 (with "Go to Push in background" disable)

* Enable the "Go to Push in background" solves problem but will need to log-in(auto) every time you get back to IM+ after leaving it for a while. This waiting's boring sometimes.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tdodd:
You can strike Chrome from the list. I have it installed, with sync enabled, and my phone sleeps perfectly. That's on a rooted stock LQ2 ICS ROM.

In fact I have 78 apps installed, according to the Play Store, and deep sleep is working perfectly. I have sync enabled on everything which is syncable apart from Google Currents.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
Chrome does for some so it can be kept, with side note

Some tips:

Add stinking Facebook to list

Wifi: airplane mode reboot airplane mode off.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PJ147:
When you finish charging, reboot phone and deep sleep works very well
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LowDef:
I found that this method was not reliable as long as there was some app keep triggering phone-wake..sometimes somehow. On the other hand, you don't need to do rebooting if your phone is free from such apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
That's why you need to be able to analyse it as wel , to many possible causes. This thread is handy in analyzing possible causes and error guessing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LowDef:
Add IM+

It blocks "deep sleep" if you don't tap...(in the IM+)

Menu...Settings...Push Settings...and than tick the "Go to Push in background"

This may be the same practice for other messaging apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
I don't have any issues with Facebook and deep sleep but this may be because I don't sync my contacts or calenders.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TopOfNewYork:
I hadnt had any of the deep sleep issues people complained of until around the time chrome went official. I tried full Charging/disconnecting but it didn't seem to restore sleep.

I uninstalled chrome and used the standard charge disconnect reboot method again.

Device went right back to sleep.

Re-installed chrome except didn't sign in (to avoid potential sync issues) phone still sleeping like a baby.

Maybe it wasn't chrome? I will have to "sign in" and re-test play around w syching and recharge...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nekoti:
In the past Skype has been a major issue with me. My phone would not enter deep sleep until I removed it, not sure if this has been fixed though

Same here (no deep sleep issues) BUT with everything disabled in the Facebook's settings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] replaystar:
You can add OkCupid to the list of deepsleep-unfriendly apps.

... uh yeah :P

Its the location feature that causes the issue. Even though the app allows the feature to be turned-off, it's a lottery whether it works or not. Thinking back now this app probably gave me reason to believe my previous phone had a dud battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] georgios73:
I have over 320 apps installed including all the so called culprits mentioned in previous posts and my note always goes into deep sleep.

The only time I get the awake issue is when I unplug the phone when charging without first turning the screen on and unlocking the screen. I don't know why it does this but if anyone has the always awake issue should try this before (as i did) you blame it on a app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TopOfNewYork:
I wasnt using fool proof scientific methods but i wasn't getting traditional methods to work w the sleep issue until I uninstalled chrome official...I restored deep sleep and re installed chrome...its still deep sleeping (CpuSpy)

Also looking at settings "battery" tab... it appears that my device is "sleeping" occasionally while charging but "not awake" doesn't necessarily mean "deep" sleeping right? based on what I've read, the system prob considers 200mhz asleep when its connected 2 power...I dunno
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LowDef:
The Chrome tips are interesting but now I'm back to Opera Mobile coz the nice Text Reflow feature.

a real fix???? particular Rom that's unaffected?

I must be doing something weird w my charger

bc I constantly lose deep sleep everyday

Im tethered 2 the usb charger, constantly have 2 monitoring cpuspy sux and Im not gonna take it anymore lol why do I HAVE 2 wait 4 100% to do the unlock reboot trick

this is a flaw I cant live with...I need 2 be able 2 take a nap wake up & not have lost 75% of my phones charge bc it wont deep sleep

its just getting 2 annoying, its making me want to sell, maybe go back 2 HTC see what's up hear they got HTCx1 or whatever rocking JB...

I can still get rid of all my deep sleep issues by rebooting the phone after I disconnect from the charger. This is the only reliable method I've found (I'm on ICS LQ2).

I'm also experimenting with SetCPU (which I bought for my tablet) to see if that stops the problems - since I'm rooted I can use that!
