Goldcard image helper

Hey guys, I wrote an script based on Gene Poole's exe file. It will create the img automatically. Then it needs to be patched with a goldcard tool (I included one on the package)...

Have included links on the Ace and unlock tools threads and in the goldcard thread also...hope it helps. I have tested it on my ladies Aria and seems to work perfect.

I installed crunchbang on my secondary drive a week or two ago and have been playing with it after reading people in here posting about it. I like it... It flies on my machine! I also just started switching my primary OS over to Mint from Ubuntu 12.10... I'm just testing it right now to make sure I can get my Andoird build setup working before I get rid of Ubuntu (and the blasted Unity interface!!) for good.

Has anyone tried Whonix? I hadn't ever heard of it before reading that link...

I got it working... Thank you very much though! I haven't gone in much for making apps yet, so my previous SDK/eclipse installs have mostly gone unused. I've been building ROMs from source for grouper, and trying to find all the missing pieces in my device tree to build for DHD/I4G.

But... I buggered Mint trying to expand my partition into the empty space left where I deleted Ubuntu. Just spent about 4 hours googling and trying to get it to boot. No luck, running low on beer, out of patience. Reinstalling everything now, lol.

[Desire HD General] hallowed.mh:
^this^… when I started getting back into Linux and trying to learn after a several year hiatus, I was running the factory Vista that came with the comp... It wouldn't let Ubuntu run beside it unless I manually shrank the Windows partition, which means I HAD to install windows first (this after an HDD crash and replacement). I ended up dual booting... And eventually just removing it from my machine all together. I have an old dell my parents got rid of that's only function is to run XP if I need it for some reason... I can't even remember the last time I turned it on.

Tei - I definitely will let you know if I give it a go. My goal right now though is to get AOKP to build for Ace. Then learn how to start modifying it myself from source.

Edit: Saying "I ended up dual booting" is redundant, since that's what I was trying to do :rolleyes:

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Very nice.

On another note: Tei, you might be interested in the fact that I spent yesterday getting a Tiny Tiny RSS/OwnCloud server running on an old laptop as a trial run. (I guess other people might also be interested, but I figured the most likely was Tei). If anyone wants help doing the same, I can try to lend a hand.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
I am I am..... I was about to start reading UNIX Tutorial for Beginners but that seems more interesting :D

Did a quick search Install ownCloud Server 5 - I'm thinking (and hoping) you did something the old fashioned way.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
I did! It was a test drive on an old laptop with a clean Arch install (just because I know how Arch works better than any other distro, and I wanted to test stuff on a platform I was comfortable with). Since I'm planning to redo it on a non-laptop with a stabler non-Arch distro, I did it the non-Arch-package-manager way. I was actually shocked at how simple it was; the thing that took the longest was some complicated port forwarding because of my ISP's dual modem-router setup (something about a proxy, but I didn't do that part so I have no idea what happened there).

I'm actually in your situation now: I'm looking for a distro for the real server. I actually want to make it a dual HTPC/server, so I'm hoping to include XBMC (or MythTV, but I'm leaning XBMC because I've used it before and liked it) as well as OwnCloud and Tiny Tiny RSS. I know that XBMC/MythTV is kind of a pain to do from scratch. So...

XBMCbuntu: I'm leaning toward this one. It comes with XBMC preconfigured, and since it's Ubuntu-based, I can install the LAMP stack from the repos and do TT-RSS and OwnCloud the old-fashioned way.

OpenELEC: since its repos are optimized for an HTPC, I would need to install the LAMP stack the old-fashioned way as well as OwnCloud and TT-RSS. I don't really want to do that.

Arch: since it's rolling-release, it's a little more time-consuming to maintain, and since it's a server, I would rather it be more hands-off.

LinHES: MythTV, not XBMC.

MythBuntu: MythTV, not XBMC.

Decisions, decisions.

Question to all:

So what Linux distros do you prefer?

What about arch Linux or Gentoo Linux?
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
They each have their advantages and disadvantages. Gentoo gives you total control, since you compile literally everything yourself. However, that takes a long time. Arch gives you more control than most distros, since you start from the terminal. Both are rolling release, so you always have the latest software, but because of that, thing may break occasionally. I like Arch. For me, it's a good balance.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
If that is the case, then just go over to google and type in "java tutorial" :silly: and "java forum" - "java for beginners" or anything you can think of. :p

For me, this is the only site I have been able to find which is for absolute beginners http://math.hws.edu/javanotes/index.html it does not require any coding experience, easy to follow, quite complete in it's explanations.

If you have some experience then almost any site should be able to guide you http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

There are also many free e-books online. I'll be happy to go through dozens of unlabeled dvd's to find them for you :confused::silly:

Joking aside, once you do some googling for books, you'll come across a few that will be recommended over and over again. Of course, those books are 600+ pages.

There are lots more (obviously) which are lost - saved somewhere in some backup or deleted by mistake. If it weren't so, I would be happy to link them.

Regarding linux - I would go with either crunchbang or linuxMint.

When I gain more linux experience I will probably go with slackware.

God I hate devices with S-ON. Flashing the boot.img is tedious (especially for a lazy teen like me) and makes it slightly more difficult when you have bootloops.. Thank god I have S-OFF :D

Probably one of my maim reasons I'd leave HTC is empty promises & locked down bootloaders.

Your thoughts?

Also, Tei, TouchWiz doesn't suck at all, its actually pretty slick, so far I've had no reason to switch to Nova or Apex, memory usage isn't too bad compared to Sense either, still runs slick with several apps open, browsing internet & listening to music

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
HTC One unlocks completely. I still wouldn't get one though. I don't like Sense.
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Still, it's a pain in the rear.

My biggest issue is with their empty promises. They said that the Desire HD would get ICS & Sense 3.6, but they failed to deliver. It was obvious they were working on it, as they said it wasn't an 'optimum' experience, so they must have had a custom 3.6/4.0 build. The least they could have done is to release it as an RUU, and explicitly warning users that it'll wipe their data. Even so, 'normal' users (read, noobs) have no need to use an RUU, so it wouldn't effect them anyway.

Even something as simple as giving the kernel source would have made ICS/Sense 3.6/4.0 smooth and fully functional, but they were full of bullsh!t.

Sense itself is ok, but the memory usage is astronomical, hence why I prefer CM, or even MIUI, cause it gets rid of Sense UI, and allows you to use all 768 MB of RAM..

Oh well, my Desire HD is retired, so I won't be using it as a daily (plus the SIM is too small now anyway) so I don't have to rage every time I hear HTC's lies

Roll on Sammy! (that just made G happy lol). Hopefully I can convince my uncle to let me root the S3 so I can atleast use root tools, e.g. Ti Backup, ViPER4ANDROiD etc.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DaXmax:
ParanoidAndroid JellyBean - v1.99

[YOUTUBE]rYssi6oPUkk[/YOUTUBE]

v1.99

Officially build from sources

OTA Updates are back via goomanager (incorporated on the ROM)

PA version in Settings > About

Fixes and CM merges

crespo4g: fixed gps and sensors

v1.98

Project butter recents in tabUI (2/2)

Quick access hybrid properties by longpressing a recent app

More refined hybrid algorithm to reveal more layout containers

TabletUI toggles

All recent cm merges (Trebuchet, googles 4.1.1 r4 with a whole bunch of fixes for memory leaks, etc)

v1.97

New option: "large" to trick an app thinking the device has a real big screen. some need it, like amazon kindle to jump into tabUI. some even react on it, gdrive will slightly adapt its layout - makes only sense if you give it a small dpi though.

The algorithm to extract the actual layout containers from apk files works more precise and can reveal more than before. there will still be a few apps left who do that layout stuff in java - we will add an override button for that, but in the meantime you can edit /system/etc/paranoid/properties.conf .layout=360 for phone-like UI, 600 for phablet, 720 = tablet, 1280 = super huge tablet

Several bugfixes from us and cm

v1.96

Breakthrough: We can finally target the actual layout containers inside the apk. If an app brings only phoneUI, you see it right away as you only have one UI option. If it brings ten, you will be able to pick each one of em. We're finally away from this Phone/Phab/Tab nonsense.

Total Hybrid engine revamp, alot less clutter, many bugfixes, apps wont make jumps when you load them up because their actual size is calculated by the engine.

Panel is still growing. It brings new options and new preferences that can even change android system settings.

All recent cm10 patches and fixes

v1.9.5

Finally hardware accelerated recents in TabUI, as fluid as ever. The ugly gradient is gone aswell

Paranoid got its own dir in /system/etc/paranoid - pad.prop is not properties.conf

A clean backup properties file is shipped, you can make a full reset in the panel in case you lost it with all the settings you made

Force option can be activated in the panel, good for widget scaling

The DPI sliders in the panel read min/max props from properties.conf, define them as you like

TabUI Recents are back to a bigger size, this is temporary, i'll look for ways to port the phone implementation as project butter skipped the tabUI code

CM fixed alot of features again, we included them all

v1.9.2

Softkeys toggle

Merged CM's theme engine

Fixed a few unclean sources

HDPI adjustments

Fixed Wifi Supplicant

v1.9.1

Hybrid bugfix, finally keyboard/facebook scaling works on JB again without sideeffects

Layout fix for notificationcenter gap in tabUI

Layout fix for recents in phabUI

Speed prefs ask for reboot

New bootani thx to nasaorc

CM10 patches
