[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuLEoF2:
Hi... I tried to run the RUU application from my PC several time but it always fails with an error message saying that the "WRONG BOOTLOADER VERSION".

Thanks for your reply anyway.

********** UPDATE **********

I got it to boot-up normally.

I used the method explained here to extract the boot.img file and flashed it in fastboot.

I still have no recovery though. I really want to root this phone or at least get a recovery on it that I can create nandroid back-ups with.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
If you have S-OFF, you should be able to flash CWM and root your device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuLEoF2:
Problem fixed.

I was able to extract the stock recovery and boot image from the RUU application and flash them from fastboot.

Recovery is back and it's booting normally again.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] qtipextra:
I made an video/audio out cable with power connections. I bridged the USB data connections (white & green) so the phone allows full AC charge current.

However, when I connect the charger while outputting audio/video, it does not charge. Tbattery app shows that it is recognizing the charger type as AC, and the LED "breather" light on the hardware buttons indicates it's charging.

When I do not use the A/V output cable, I get about +200mA charge current USB, and when I plug it in regular AC charger, I get about +700mA charge current.

But when using my custom cable, I am getting about 100mA charge current, but the phone discharges faster when its connected.

Can anyone help me with this? I would really appreciate the help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 3NDL3R:
Hey guys,

I still installed the "S3 Ultimate" ROM on my rooted AT&T Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) which works pretty good.

Now I tried to install the last nightly build (07/14/2012) from CM9 to see whether this is more what I like to have.

Unfortunately the installation process didn´t completed at all even being rooted and having USB Debugging on.

Any ideas why I couldn´t install the CM9? I tried that with each of the CM9 nightly of the last days ... none installed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 3NDL3R:
Ok ... pretty easy at all ... just had to delete the first line in the file "META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script" which says:

Modifyng updater (script) does not work. I cannot install cm9 on my att galaxy s3 no matter what i try. When I try to flash it, I get "installation aborted every time. What can i do? I am rooted and running Ultimatum rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
Was stuck for a while trying to repack a insecure kernel, few "bricks" (thank goodness for CWM's backups lol).

Got it to work and boot! Its still the same original boot.img but I was able to repack it with ro.secure=0 and other changes to the default.prop (enabled adb, debugging etc..)

Heres a link with info on it, and heres the files (in zip this time) incase anyone wants to test.

Basically (if anyone wants to try this insecure.boot.img) for test (make sure you have CWM and a Nandroid backup first) - Phone should already be rooted (SuperOneClick 2.3.3), ADB Debugging on (I used a ADB shell to do this, you should be able to run the commands from the terminal on the device itself)

Open the archive, copy the flash_image (if you havent from the CWM Install), also copy the insecure.boot.img over to the sdcard (you can alsio do this with the original boot.img to restore)

su
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block/vold/179:1 /sdcard
cd /sdcard
flash_image boot insecure.boot.img
reboot

All goes well, the phone should reboot normally. MInes took a little longer on initial booting, but it went through using that boot.img and the stock rom.

Now onto the next hurdle (getting CyanogenMod to compile) - The problem I was having before was using a version of mkbootimg that did not support the --pagesize option.

I'll try repacking the zImage that was built into a CM7 ramdisk and see if I can get past the "Sharp" screen and try to boot..

If anyone has any thoughts on the subject it would be greatly appreciated, back to the terminal I go :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
CM6 Booted :P

Well, went back to trying to see what would "boot" in this phone. My attempt to port CM6 to this ADS1 is somewhat successful!!!!

Currently botted into a modified Z71 CM6 ROm, using the insecure.boot.img I repacked for the Sharp ADS1.

Compared the system structures side by side and added the ADS1 bits (also for the surf_keyboard and other stuff).

Removed Z71 specific files, made a hybrid build.prop with the ADS1 changes.

Result: Boots!! Pretty Usable!!!

Still Broken:

-No camera/camcorder (checking the libcamera files)

-WiFi

-keyboard backlight

-some keyboard buttons (@ key, everything else is good - onscreen and swype are in from stock rom)

Works:

-battery charging (even switches to the sharp charging screen when its off but plugged in)

-radio - H+ on the status bar, data, sync, sms, etc.. (havent tried MMS yet)

-bluetooth - enables fine, just need something to pair with

-boots (initial boot takes a while as it does its firstrun thing, reboots are very fast)

-sound works

-graphics seem smooth as butter (going through the UI, etc..)

-touchscreen

-qwerty keyboard

-screen rotation works

-CM6 gapps work

Anyways, I'm kinda excited that atleast CM6 booting and (aside from the broken stuff) somewhat usable! I'll attatch the logcat I made with adb as it booted, did some testing, etc.. Incase anyone wants to see.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
CyanogenMod 6 ROM testing Updates.. (SO FAR SO GOOD!!)

(I accidentally posted this in the General thread I had, and it wouldnt let me delete it - so I put the information in this as its under the Misc Development section)

Update on "porting" CM6 for the Commtiva Z71 to the Sharp ADS1.

Not Working:

-WiFi - logcat shows an error when loading the libra.ko seems to load librasdioif.ko fine however

-Camera - logcat shows problem loading liboemcamera.so (using the ADS1 libs and Camera.apk)

-3d Acceleration - works, but has some hiccups (so it still needs *some* work - importing some Adreno200 EGL libs over improved greatly so far)

-USB Mounting - havent gotten to this yet, still working on WiFI/Camerea. ADB however works flawlessly (push, pull, reboot, lolcat/logcat, etc..)

-@ Key and SYM on physical keyboard arent mapped correctly (going to see if I can poll the keys and figure that out) also the Camera physical button does not map.

Working:

-Calls (speaker also, mute, normal, etc..)

-Data (uploaded my wordpress post from the device, market sync works, etc..)

-SMS/MMS

-SDCARD (

can be browsed internally

, SD-Ext for app2sd works, no USB Mounting yet)

-Bluetooth

-Audio

-Keyboard Backlight+Sensors (properly shuts off when screen is slid closed)

-Deep Sleep seems to be working (battery life seems to be decent, still gotta work other bugs out)

-Rotation sensor (open keyboard, screen rotates for you also)

-Auto brightness sensor looks to be working normally (even turns keyboard backlighting off it seems)

http://acebox.info/2012/07/sharp-fx-plus-ads1-z71-cm6-test-rom/

I'm a little stumped on the WiFi + Camera issue, both roms (CM6-Z71 and ADS1-Stock) are running similar Kernels, and the version of Froyo is almost identical; CM6-Z71 Is actually 2.2.1 and ADS1 is 2.2.2 as I recieved it (CyanogenMod runs sooo much better :) ).

wifi libs (in /system/lib/modules):

libra.ko
librasdio.ko
modules.dep.bb

If anyone has some time to help or atleast offer some insight, I can repost the stock dumps, nand backups, kernel, ramdisk, logcats - and even a cwm zip I've made for flashing a "slimmed" version of the stock 2.2.2 Froyo as well as any "working" version of the CM6 "port" I'm attempting). I've been comparing logcats from the stock rom and this to see what can possibly be stopping wifi/camera working..

The CM6 ROM IS EXPERIMENTAL AND NOT A DAILY DRIVER AT ALL - (I wouldnt consider it untill WiFI, Camera, etc.. are functional. It is usable - even updated my wordpress post from the device with screenshots, hower it is still an Development Work In Progress).

If anyone is feeling brave (or wants to help test), I've uploaded the CWM zips I used (experimental) onto my site (linked in this post). FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY AND DO A NAND BACKUP FIRST!! Then go nuts flashing away lol. Hope someone finds this usefull.

PS. THIS IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER ROM, ONLY FOR TESTING!

Info/ROM links - current ones posted here towards the bottom (so I only have to update one set of links lol)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
WiFi partially working

UPDATE:

Got wifi working, test release here more information here. I fixed a few things in the ramdisk and updater-script. Now to get the camera/video and USB mounting working (ADB is fully functional, push/pull/logcat/lolcat work).

Also the original Swype, Weather, SMS and Email widgets work. For the market, flash the

CM6 20110501 MDPI gapps package

from here (its persistent between full wipes, use a NAND backup to return to clean install, workingo n a updater-script that fully wipes and removes all traces of GAPPS (doesnt seem to currently).

Shots of About Phone and Storage (theres some room I think)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
UPDATE (EGL and Camera fixed!) - Notes on swapping libs between roms

Saw a nice way of using readelf and it helped getting a lot of things sorted out.

Basically made a shell script and but it into my ~/bin folder and used that to manually check dependencies of the libraries. checked them and made sure they matched, flashed the phone and now its almost 100%!

I believe replacing libc.so from the CM6's /system/lib with the ads1 broke adb logcat - adb shell works, push/pull work fine. Gallery3d is now VERY smooth, Camera works fine now (tested snaps, etc..)

so, to recap lol..

STILL BROKEN:

-USB Mass Storage (going to check ramdisk)

-adb logcat/lolcat (cannot link executable since fixing EGL)

-Need to check GPS (noticed I've been checking with WiFI only)

WORKS:

-Phone/Data

-SMS/MMS

-WiFI/Bluetooth

-Camera/Video

-EGL smooth

-SD Internal mounting/browsing (SD-Ext also for APP2SD)

-CyanogenMod 6 settings

-ADWLauncher Settings

-Sharp Widgets (SMS/Email)

-Gapps (use the CM6 MDPI version)

-Slide out Keyboard (still going to look at the @, Sym and Camera button mappings)

-Keyboard Backlight (with light sensor adjusting)

-Rotation Sensor

I'll post a link to an updated version soon if anyone wants to test, just sorting out a few small things - progress is progress! Hopefully have USB mounting working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
test version cm6-z71 port beta1

Got the ROM somewhat stable, EGL seems to be working VERY smoothly (tracked back dependencies) and Camera/Video work (using CM6 camera apk, going to test with the Froyo/Sharp camera apk).

Link to test here - more information here.

Hope this is helpful to anyone testing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
Updated Ext3 ClockWorkMod - CyanogenMod 6.1.2 USB test.

Updated the ClockWorkMod Recovery from the builder site (generated using a dump of the stock.img)

Now it formats /sd-ext as Ext3 and not Ext4 (more info here). Also included the stock recovery image and tools.

Also got a test version of the CM6.1.2 port (more info here) - USB mass storage should work, no Google Apps (can be downloaded seperately - get CyanogenMod 6 MDPI version).

BUGS/TODO:

-Looking at a hardware keyboard "glitch" - Sym key brings up the "Select Input Method" menu (vs the Symbol menu). The @(AT) key also is unresponsive, using KeyTest.apk - shows as picking up #215 - but its not doing anything.

-Need to test the GPS

-Need to test Bluetooth pairing more

-Checking issue with init.d automounting sd-ext (running /system/etc/init.d/05mountsd works)

-If ADW Launcher stays stuck in Portrait mode (wont rotate), uncheck System Persistent from the ADW System options if its checked in and having problems.

DOWNLOADS:

CWM-EXT3-TEST (unpack to your SDCARD)

CM6.1.2-ADS1-B4a2 (flash with CWM, backup and data wipe prior to testing)

Notes on building CyanogenMod from source possibly..

Noticed when I got my initial zip back from the CM builder site, it had a device tree for the ads1. There isnt any "vendor" specific one matching, however I'm playing with one mocked from the Z71 tree (as they seem oddly similar).

I've already contacted Sharp about the sources, but not sure if I'm asking correctly :P. Maybe they'll respond. I was also asking about if they would have some kind of update.zip for the phone, theres a few other members that have "bricked" phones - a Sharp signed update.zip would work nicely for the stock recovery (unless theres another method)

However, just incase - testing this for a "proprietary mock up" to see if anything can work lol

-compared the extracted-files from the z71, removed the ones the ads1 did not have.

-ran a recursive diff between the bin, lib, etc folders between a Z71 cm6 rom (which I've based my test) and a system dump I made of the ADS1.

-added missing files for now (some might be for the Sharp UI Launcher)

-extract files works, copies the requested files off the phone (I've got a blend of a few ads1 froyo bits ontop of z71 cm6 atm)

-testing the local_manifest.xml to get it to work, experimenting

Still missing rild and libaudio sources (as well as some other ones I noticed in the Z71 tree) - going to experiment building a Froyo rom from source, using existing rild/audio libraries. Not entirely sure what I'm doing (as there is no real support for this device at all), just proceeding carefully and examining the surroundings as best as I can lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
Z71-CM7.2.0 boots (needs work, but its something!)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] wisesoar:
Hi Amaury,

I have been reading your posting these days. I am a new android device user, and I just bought a Sharp ADS1 to replace my old phone.

I would like to know which software did you use to root the ADS1, Can "SuperOncClick" root it?

And, do you have a back-up file of the original Stock ROM? or Can the "ClockwordMod" do the back-up for the original ROM?

Also, do you think it's possible to upgrade the Android 2.2 to Android 3.0 or even 4.0, 4.1 for this device?

This cell phone seems very nice and well functioned, but not many users or developers discuss about it.

Thanks for your answer and posting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
Hi, SuperOneClick 2.3.3 did the trick for me.

Unfortunately, dont have a backup of the stock system, The Clockworkmod custom recovery can backup the entire phone state to your sdcard, and you can restore the entire phone back to that exact state. Also if you can get a stock dump (all stock apps), let me know - I can probably try making a "flash to stock" cwm zip for it.

I'm not sure but think Sharp would have to release sources for the device? Or find sources that would be compatible with this device. Its pretty similar to a Commtiva Z71 as far as I can tell. I'd like to eventually try CM9 booting on this, so started with getting CM6/Froyo to work first - and found the Z71 worked with few modifications.

I found a Z71 Gingerbread 2.3.7 CM7.2 rom runs a similar 2.6.32.x kernel that boots (with modification) and somewhat works (no network, local/audio/touch/keyboard works). Would be nice to see something newer than froyo on this phone, so I'm posting whatever info on it while learning things in the process.

EDIT:

Not sure if Sharp will update the phone to Gingerbread, they havent released a update.zip for restoring the stock Froyo image yet. The device can definitely run Gingerbread, I'm playing with Z71 libs on a hybrid ROM that boots and (aside from phone/data/wifi/networking and screen timeout issue) runs rather quickly and smooth. I've been trying to contact Sharp about this device, but havent heard back yet. Guess I'm asking the wrong questions lol.

Kernel notes revisited

UPDATE: re-uploaded what was built with the modules for testing (previously only uploaded zImages)

Added some notes when I tried building the kernel incase anyone's interested - here. I've uploaded a test mock up of a device/vendor tree. The kernel config off the device as well as some test kernels (zImage only) built from the cm-kernel source. android-msm-2.6.35-unified and android-msm-2.6.33-ds

The device tree actually came from the ClockWorkMod builder site iirc, modded with some Z71 bits (to make the vendor side). Hopefully this helps anyone testing, as I havent had time to play with source building much (working on fixing bugs in the CM6 test port).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
Updated ROMs (Froyo based)

DISCLAIMER: These are testing roms, they work pretty well for me - but always backup before flashing anything. Not responsible if sliding open the keyboard rips the fabric of time. WIth that out of the way...

I've uploaded 2 roms for the Sharp FX Plus (ADS1) - one is based off the stock 2.2.2 (Holo launcher, init,d, etc..) second rom is an updated version of the Z71 port I've been playing with (more on those here)

Downloads:

stock-based 2.2.2-acemod4

Good times for the little droid!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
GPL Source?

Well, found out Sharp sold all rights to the FX Plus ADS1 to PCD Phones. In an email back form Sharp they refered me to asking PCD Phones about the source - PCD referred me back to Sharp. I've forwarded my emails from Sharp's support stating to ask PCD in hopes that they'll reply.

Hopefully they'll know something about the 2.6.32.9-perf kernel sources, that would definitely help with developing Android for this device from source.

More information on that here
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deofavente:
Any news? I'm interested in this phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmauryRR:
Unfortunately none, I've been trying to get some information from either Sharp or PCD Phones on the modified kernel source and no dice. They were pointing to eachother, and being very helpful unfortunately.

It is a nice phone, and I would like to see what can be done from source vs porting roms. Definitely still some potential for the lil slider droid!

Hopefully something pops up, I've been moving around so if something pops up I'll dust mines off and get back to playing with it.

Long Overdue Update

Hi all, finally got back into my XDA account and also updated this thread. I've uploaded whatever files I have left to dev-host and updated the OP with working links.

I have a stock-based ROM (in the OP/dev-host link), however I do not have the original stock dump off my phone. If anyone with a rooted (but 100% stock besides that) ads1 can provide me with a stock dump of the original boot.img and system partition, I can whip up a "stock restore" CWM zip. Well, stock kernel/system, but leave whatever recovery you have installed.

For testing building Android from source for this device (GB/ICS), try and go with this very good read on porting CM to a "new" device. Use the boot.img and mkvendor.sh to create a skeleton device tree for the sharp ads1 and go from there.

I was able to get CM9/ICS booting on the Sharp ADS1, HOWEVER IT WAS EXTREMELY BUGGY and would need lots of tweaking to get it to work. Some notable issues:

-Needs correct .idc touchscreen files configured (tried some I found), currently shows the "POINTER" like in old ICS preview roms that were ported to earlier devices

-Used updated ICS Adreno 200 libs available from QCOM (these replace the froyo proprietary versions)

-Tried building with changes from z71/blade/htc ace/etc.. device trees, look for similar (hardware) devices and experiment.

-Issues might be due to the device being ARMV6/MSM7k? Builds as MSM7x27

Might be good to attempt with the androidarmv6 sources for "legacy" devices (if available still, seen it on github before)

As far as CM7/Gingerbread sources, need to get the older source working with my build enviornment (Ubuntu 14.04 x64/gcc 4.8.x) as I'm still setup for ICS+. Few system rebuilds later, got a stable hard drive lol!

Merry christmas to everyone, and happy new year!

As an avid reader, I don't like the new ipad's weight and bulk, but I quite like its screen, specifically its pixel density that makes the letters look very beautiful. The new ipad's display is perceptively worse than that of my iphone 4, now Nexus 7's display looks one step worse further on paper. How is it in reality? How clear is 1280x800?

Avid reader here as well, already read about 200+ pages on the N7 in the past 24 hours and i can say that the screen's PPI is awesome for reading but i couldn't tell you how it compares to the iPad 3

Its weight and everything sound so so so much better for reading than ipad 3! Can you make the screen dim enough to read in the dark?:cool:

The clarity is great for reading, i have considered selling my Nook e-reader due to it but my eyes get strained reading off LCD screens.

If you are in the US and have a Gamestop nearby, try calling them as they might have a demo unit, the one near me did. That way you can check it out.

Thanks guys for the info. I've already gotten rid of my Kindle Touch because I couldn't stand the sloooooowwwwwwness. Couldn't see a demo unit in Germany though and I'm headed to Asia where Nexus won't be arriving in waves either.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavinfabl:
Compared to the iPad 3, it's not quite as sharp and the colours not as good but tbh it's not that far off in reality due to a smaller screen.

The average person would find it difficult and not really care as the Nexus is lighter, and a better shape and size for reading. Also the back cover feels great to hold.
