Posted this in Defy General JB compile page as well. Hoping Aleeyt or Quarx will see this and throw me a bone.

For the past 2 days I've been working on getting ParanoidAndroid JB to compile. After some tedious searching, I finally figured out all the tiwlan bs, only to get hit with the overlay <add-resources> error. My question is, does anyone know what needs to be merged from Quarx's android_framework_base into the PA android_framework_base?

I thought about doing a full merge of Quarx's JB repo into Paranoid JB, but I don't want to accidentally overwrite some of the PA files by accident (I've had it happen when merging Maniac's CM7 Defy repo over Quarx's CM7 Bravo repo).

device/moto/jordan-common/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/arrays.xml:36: error: Resource does not already exist in overlay at 'config_vendorServices'; use <add-resource> to add.
device/moto/jordan-common/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/arrays.xml:37: error: Resource at config_vendorServices appears in overlay but not in the base package; use <add-resource> to add.
device/moto/jordan-common/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml:270: error: Resource at config_alwaysEnableLightSensor appears in overlay but not in the base package; use <add-resource> to add.
device/moto/jordan-common/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml:292: error: Resource at config_fmSeparateVolumeControl appears in overlay but not in the base package; use <add-resource> to add.

If it helps, I'm compiling for the Motorola Bravo, but I've already set up all the necessary files for Defy & Defy+ so when I'm done it'll work for all of us. And yes, I know I can just remove those lines in the overlay but I also know that they're there for a good reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. My github page - https://github.com/skeevy420 (not everything is up, mainly the tiwlan crap I copied from CM9)

/I'm hoping you AOKP guys had this issue and already know which commits to merge.

//Since I've seen it asked quite a bit, compiling CM7\9 adds 10-15gb to my hd.

///AMD 4200+ Dual Core 64bit, 2GB ram..., 2hrs for CM7, 3hrs for CM9.

//With no files compiled (/out empty), CM7+9+10+PA take up 60GB of space.

/If you don't have much room left on your compile partition, then symlink /out to a different partiton/hard drive. If you have tons of ram (20+gb,) you could symlink /out to ramfs to save wear and tear on your drives -- Just remember, when using ramfs, to copy your rom to the HD when you're done compiling\before you shut down your PC or you'll lose it
[Bravo Android Development] mikiemc73:
Silly question, what do you use for building your ROMs?
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
My computer :)....but seriously I use Linux Mint 13 64bit and I followed a few tutorials on xda to get all the required build tools. Once all the tools are installed, compiling CM7 is only 3 commands. CM10 doesn't work right out of the box and requires importing some files from CM9.

1. "repo init -u git://github.com/skeevy420/android.git -b gingerbread"
2. "repo sync" --- that takes a long, long time; watch a movie or something
3. ". build/envsetup.sh && brunch kobe" (that's actually two commands....)

Once those commands are done, all you have to do is #2 to update the source and #3 to compile again.

Check out this link here in the Defy General section that'll tell you all you need to know about compiling roms on this platform.
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
Got some help over at the defy forums, merged Quarx's CM10 framework into PA framework, compiling again....hopefully this one will complete....I think I merged PhoneWindowManager.java incorrectly, but we'll see if it compiles. With luck it'll build. I'll start a new thread with an new rom if it boots.
[Bravo Android Development] josuearisty:
Great, I hope you compile everyhting without no big problems.

We need some real atention for our Bravo with CM10, quarx is very busy, doing everything for all devices he has.
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
I think all the big problems are over with. Re-arranged my repos for CM7 and PA, merged Quarx's frameworks/base into PA, same with settings; just got done dealing with the tiwlan module settings; and started a compile a few minutes ago. I had it compiling up until the java compile of frameworks/base, but it failed since it didn't have the changes needed from Quarx's repos, now that that's done I hope it compiles. The only problem I can foresee is it not adding in the proprietary motorola files, but I can do that manually by hand if needed. I have to add in PAPreferences from the SGS2 since its closed source and the SGS2 is recommended to use with HDPI devices like ours. Once I get it compiling and working I'll ask for access to PAPreferences

Yes, Quarx looks very busy with all those devices, repos, cm versions -- I don't envy him one bit, but I respect the hell out of his determination, skill, and willingness to help us all.
[Bravo Android Development] feistygoat10:
New quarx build. Like the new boot animation.
[Bravo Android Development] kevins547:
is it full working like CM7 ?
[Bravo Android Development] josuearisty:
Yes, new boot animation its awsome! New boot was included since the last build!

We can say yes, but why dont you try it? Im not using it untul the speed is increased and flash player is working!

But else everything is fine!
[Bravo Android Development] kevins547:
i'm just afraid the battery life

and not play too much game so the speed and flash player are not important

what's different between Gapps and mini gapps?

what is your rom now?
[Bravo Android Development] aleeyt:
New build
[Bravo Android Development] raul1113:
What's new in this build? Right now I'm looking for info about roms based on ICS or JB, but I don't know how stable are these.

Thanks for your help.
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
Probably IO scheduler selection in Performance Settings is what's new. They're stable enough for daily use, but keep a charger handy cause it drains battery faster than normal (about the same as an iPhone3Gs actually). I tested my 300@20\700@41\1100@54 and they worked just fine for me and its using Vsel2 a lot more -- I recommend setting Vsel2 to 700 for JB roms; even if you don't go to 1100 for 3.

I haven't used Quarx's or Aleeyt's CM10 builds, but my PA builds are stable for about 36 hours, after that a wipe cache\dalvik cache is needed then its stable again -- it just start running choppy and takes forever to do something. I'm thinking of including a wipe cache\dalvik cache init script to do that automatically on boot. It would make reboots take forever, but the system would run more stable.

I've found that if you go to performance settings and enable 16-bit transparency it makes it run a lot smoother, purging assets is also a good idea since JB runs with a lot more ram. I haven't tried V6 on JB yet, but it'll probably help -- according to posts over in Defy Land.
[Bravo Android Development] Dr. Orange:
I was going to ask you about the sudden slow down on PA but I forgot. So, I'll just wipe cache/dalvik once a day then it'll be all smooth. :D

bravo on tmobile

has anyone tried using cm10 on bravo on tmobile. If so which baseband should be chosen also will 3g work. thx in advance
[Bravo Android Development] sdrawkcab3:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA_3G

Looks like T-mobile uses 1700 and 2100 for 3G. Browse for a baseband that supports those frequencies and give it a whirl. Post your findings!
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
Since I posted it in this thread, I'll post the results here too.

I had extremely good results when using 300@20\700@40\1100@54 with PA. If you don't like running @1100, then 1000 will work just fine. CPUSpy shows vsel1 & 3 with around the same usage and 2(700mhz) being used more than twice as much as 1 & 3. I've had a few lockups with them, but its due to 700@40 needs to be 700@42 to deal with the PVR module and full hwui gpu rendering.

I highly recommend running Vsel2 @ 700mhz if you want to conserve battery and have good performance with CM9 or CM10 roms.

I'd post screen shots of cpuspy, but I've rebooted today and have been plugged into a charger since. Also, No Frills Cpu Control has a Stats view mode now that's similar to CPUSpy (they both show the same things) so No Frills can replace CPUSpy to save room (provided you use both of those apps).
[Bravo Android Development] sdrawkcab3:
Updated Gapps

A Defy user posted an updated gapps. If you haven't updated google search, the new update makes Google Now WAY faster. I updated mine via Play Store yesterday or the day before. The speed difference makes it actually useful to me ;)

I haven't tested this yet, but thought I'd share it here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1864796
[Bravo Android Development] mikiemc73:
So, I'm working on a mirror for the Bravo ROMs, its not complete, but here it is

Bravo ROMs

And, I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, But if I plug in my phone to the PC, and switch to Memory Card Access, after about 5 sec the phone will reboot, and will repeat forever. The only way to get card access is from the boot menu, which works fine.
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
Good Deal. My only suggestion is to seperate the roms by Build Type (CM10, 7) and by Builder (Me, Quarx, Aleeyt, etc) Once I'm able to post at goo.im I'll make a mirror there as well. I'd update the Mediafire mirror, but not everyone can access it....I eventually will, it just takes a long time to upload for me (an hour a rom on average)

Which rom by who? I'm assuming this one -- I don't use Memory Card Access, only adb to add files to my sdcard; I've also never tried to either.

If at all possible, I recommend using adb push to add files to the sdcard -- mounting the sd between the Android Linux Environment and (I'm assuming) a Windows Environment can cause file corruption (it happened to me quite often when I'd mount my sd in Windows7).

The exact command I use to add roms to my sdcard is this -- adb push ./CM*.zip /sdcard/Aa/ --- ./simply means in this folder, it can be replaced with /path/to/file/CM*.zip -- the * in CM*.zip means everything that starts with CM and ends with .zip (if there are multiple roms named CM-whatever-.zip they'll be pushed too; I do it from my build directory and the rom is the only file labeled as such). I also push to /sdcard/Aa (its the first folder that shows when you pick which zip to install; minimizes button presses). These commands are for Linux boxes -- the ./ may not work on windows and the ./ may need to be \path\to\rom\rom.zip in the first half (./CM*.zip). I haven't used windows shell for more than 10 minutes in the past 17 years....

I'm gonna say this again to make my point clear --

USE ADB

instead of Memory Card Access -- Its much safer letting Android control the sd versus having multiple OS's mount and unmount it.

If you search here on xda, you'll find apps that add and remove files to the phone with a gui over adb -- look into those if you don't feel comfortable on the command prompt. Also, if adb doesn't connect, just enable data tethering -- its the best solution I can find so far (you don't need to be connected to a 3G network\wifi for tethering to activate)
[Bravo Android Development] mikiemc73:
Actually its been happening since Quarx/aleeyt 0812. I usually just DL them from my dropbox, unfortunatly I'm kinda stuck with W7, wife not liking Linux and using my desktop as a WiFi router and the Beta testing I do on the side, but I digress. I will figure something out.

Thanks for the suggestions for the ROM mirror, I'll get it sorted out tonight.

I found the thread to unbrick my phone. I am a little confuse on how the instruction on how to unrbrick the phone.

Under prerequisites, I need to

"a linux box/live cd with automount disabled and without unity"

What is unity?

I have Ubuntu installed on one of my computers but I don't want to continued until I know what I need to do before starting this unbricking process.

And what flavor of Linux can I use? Can I use Ubuntu?
[HTC Sensation] F9zSlavik:
I tried Using ubuntu,

Ubuntu will detect the device using this command

./brickdetect.sh

I unplugged it then plugged it back in, and then use the following command

sudo ./emmc_recover --backup b_hboot.img --device /dev/sdX12

It says waiting for device, then nothing.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
That is because of automount.

There will, most likely, be a video tutorial that I'll be making soon.

And also, in the command, sdX needs to be replaced with the node that you got from brickdetect. That is, for example: sda, sdi, etc.
[HTC Sensation] Mr-YC:
i am not an expert in this, but i do know what is Unity

here you go: http://unity.ubuntu.com/
[HTC Sensation] F9zSlavik:
I hate Linux so bad.... Great for certain things but god I just hate it ;/

So I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 DVD version from Ubuntu website. I went and downloaded the necessary files for the unrbicking process.

I can detect my device, no issues with that.

BUT I had a hard time doing

sudo ./emmc_recover --backup b_hboot.img --device /dev/sdX12

nothing would happen even after I disable automount. I had to time it just right from when I plug the phone back in the USB and hitting enter in terminal to execute the command.

If I time it just RIGHT (took 20 tries), I can get it to back up of HBOOT. I have 1.27.

My isssue is the stupid *&^*%$% auto mounting crap. I have tried (thanks to google)

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

after installing I then did this

dconf-editor then navigate to org -> gnome -> desktop -> media-handling: disable both automounts

Problem persisted. Nothing happens when I try to flash the hboot (because of automount)

so I tried using this command in Terminal,

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false

Same crap. I can't flash the stupid hboot. Nothing happens again when I execute the command.

sudo ./emmc_recover --flash pyrV.VV.nb0 --device /dev/sdX12 --backupafter hboot_f.nb0

I guess if I time it just right after plugging in the phone I might be able to do it.

And yes I am changing the V.VV to the corresponding file and yes I am changing X to whatever letter the phone is assign to.

I tried using the live cd provided by the OP but its even worse then te official one because I see NO WAY of disabling automount. I tried the above ways and nothing worked as far as disabling automount.

How do yo disable automount in the livecd provided by the thread?

Well I wound up having to go to Dunkin Donuts in order to get a wifi that would work with this thing. I got passed the wifi screen and into the main screens so at least now I can turn it on and such without the wifi.

This is my first android tablet (in fact first tablet) and I'm not sure I like it. I have no idea how to do squat on this thing as there are no basic directions. I can figure stuff out, but without the wifi, I'm cut off from a lot of the stuff. I tried to download the book on the gplay site for the nexus, but it seems I can only read it with a connection to wifi.

I have several pdf files I would like to transfer over (books actually I'd like to read) so do I just hook this up to the computer and copy the files over? Do they go to a folder? Or just hang out on the drive? I'm not even sure which app I would use to read them. Until I can get the wifi fixed, I can not download anything else unless I go to burger king or something. (sigh).

And if anyone can help with the wifi issue, I would be great full. If not, I guess I will return this thing, but I don't want to get a replacement to have the same thing happen again. I see I"m not the only one with the issue. I just don't know what to do.

Thank you everyone

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetworkLabs:
Okay, I was told to go here since people on AndroidForums.com had no clue on what to do.

Okay, here are my problems -

I received this Android from my mom and it was running Android 2.1. When I first got it, I turned it on without charging it. It booted up, came to the lockscreen, then about a second later turned off and now refuses to boot. I have tried flashing it with generic Android 2.1 and Stock ATT Android 2.1. But it refuses to do nothing but flashes a green light and vibrates. But that all it does. And PC Companion, SEUS, FlashTool have done nothing! So what do I do now? It accepts Flashes and restores, but it's like the Boot Files are corrupted. And I cannot JTAG, so is there any other options?

Thanks in Advanced,

I had quite the similar issue with my x10i. One day it just decided to stop working completely. No lights no nothing, tried everything, just dead. So I contacted SE and they said they could do nothing if the software had been tampered with, no matter how much I assured them if was a hardware related fault.. So I went to my carrier and they sent me to a phone repairing company (Fonemenders here in Ireland), who try fix the phone themselves by getting parts in from the manufacturers. If they deem your phone irreparable they will get you a new replacement. This is exactly what happened me. So the other day I received an email saying that seeing as my x10 couldn't be fixed, I'd be receiving a Sony Arc as a replacement! So i'm happily waiting for the Arc to get here while I use my moms old x8.

So my best advice if nothing is working, go to your carrier and hopefully they can get you through to a phone repairing place, and I wish you as good luck as my own :P
