Nexus one and galaxy nexus. Then you've got gingerbread and jellybean covered
[General Questions and Answers] Marcel17:
If you need a newer phone for testing , the Galaxy Nexus is an obvious choice .

If you need a older phone ( old hardware ) to test yous apps , have a look at Nexus 1 or HTC Desire , it can run flawlessly 2.2 , 2.3 and 4.0.4 . I have a Desire on ICS ( BCM ) so I can tell .
[General Questions and Answers] Nigeldg:
HD2? ROMs range from Android 2.1-4.1 (AOSP, AOKP, CM), Sense 2.0-3.5 (one discontinued Sense 4 alpha), TouchWiz + GB, Xperia Arc GB, MIUI etc. It's also got similar specs to a low-range phone nowadays so that would be a good choice I think. In addition, a One X probably.

Samsung galaxy nexus
[General Questions and Answers] lreyes:
Galaxy nexus its official hands down
[General Questions and Answers] willpower102:
It seems it is indeed no contest there.

Does the Galaxy Nexus come with Sense by default? (It's been a while since I've looked into these. Last Android phone I owned was a droid bionic and before that the htc hero.)

We definitely are going to support gingerbread, so we'll need a little bit of an older phone too. I'm sure breaking it up like that into 3 or so phones is ok, as long as they fall under budget.

And yeah, the dev tests with emulators, but I'm QA on this project so I get to play with them real-world once he's done and find more bugs.
[General Questions and Answers] Pancakes_Gio:
Nexus S and a Galaxy Nexus,

Will do the job well:):thumbup:
[General Questions and Answers] Nigeldg:
GNex is a Nexus phone, so why would it come with Sense? :rolleyes:

Anyway, the best choice is still the HD2 IMO. You can test it on all versions of Android from 2.1-4.1 and it's incredibly cheap, with specs which are not too bad (1GHz Snapdragon with 576MB RAM) for the price. If you can get the app to run smoothly on the HD2 the likelihood is that it will run on any newer phone.
[General Questions and Answers] deanwray:
IMHO you have yo use a stock device.. nexus as all the docs suggest. Custom ROMs have additions substitutions and tweaks that in a dev sense are not baseline. Although the differences are minimal or should be. Better to play safe. So nexus s and galaxy nexus.. Google provide stock ROMs for these in dev device downloads.
[General Questions and Answers] willpower102:
Noted. Thanks.

And yeah, that's cool that some of these phones support plenty of roms, but I don't want to be flashing 3 different roms every time the dev iterates a new point (v.2) update. I'd rather have 2-3 phones ready to go. (seems lazy, but I've got a lot of other work to do to :)
[General Questions and Answers] willpower102:
We got a droid (motorola timestamp issues), a Galaxy Nexus, and an hd2. So the hd2 comes stock with windows mobile? This is strange to me.
[General Questions and Answers] willpower102:
Well, the hd2 does have a lot of support, but when the top threads in the device specific forum warn of how unstable and beta-ish android development is on this phone, then I'm not really as excited as I was. might end up returning this one.

You didn't add the "f" switch to choose the filename so tar is trying to read from stdin. Change your command to:

tar -xvf stressapptest-1.0.4.tar

[Epic 4G Apps] droid newb:
Hello...what I am looking for is a navigation app that will allow me to use 100% customized routes. Allow me to explain: I am a motorcycle rider & I like to take long motorcycle trips (500 miles a day sometimes) OFF the beaten path. I don't want to ride main streets & major highways. Those are boring! I want to be able to customize a route 100% with nothing but back roads & have that on my device for turn by turn navigation.

I can design such a route on my PC using Google Maps but there seems to be no way to import that route into maps or navigation on my device.

So does anyone know of an app that will import my 100% customized routes onto my device, or an app that will allow me to design 100% customized routes right on my device?

I know I used 100% a lot, but I'm really trying to stress that I don't want any route suggestions from the app itself! :p

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Apps] droid newb:

[Epic 4G Apps] orlzzt:
I was under the impression if you saved your route to "my maps" in Google Maps you could access it from your phone...
[Epic 4G Apps] heyphred:
Sounds like you could use the"Dual Sport Map App" I think a search on the play store for dual sport maps and or craftycoder will bring it up. (Sorry for no links,I'm new and not allowed yet)

While it sounds like it may be for off road use only ,it isn't.

A lot of people use it to cruise the way out of the way places and they even share their routes on the web site the developer made. You can also use that website to map out your own routes then load them to your phone.The site address is dualsportmaps DOT com

Some think the App is expensive at $20,however it was well worth it for me just for functionality,and he is giving a lot of support to the backroad bombing community.

I started using it when I wanted all the functions of the high end motorcycle GPS units but didn't want to spend the $600+ entry fee.

So I got a large screen android device, a blue tooth head set, a bar mount and that App.It has been working great.

In case you haven't come across it yet, there is a forum for riders like you(advrider DOT com) and the developer of the App maintains a thread there for extra support.

A google search for site:advrider DOT com 691537 should bring you right to it if you know what to do with the "DOT"

Hope this helps

Oruxmaps is pretty sweet and it is free. You have to create your own maps (did mine with maps from google maps) and stitch them together but for free I consider it worth the time. Here is the link: google play oruxmaps

Hello,

Hope you guys are enjoying this awesome tablet! I am as well, until I started noticing the screen having a green ghost as I write on it with the S-Pen or when I'm holding it. Sometimes is stays for a while, others, it just flashes.

I have had this for exactly 14 days, should I just go exchange it at BB before it gets worse?

Here are some photos.

1st pic has the green ghosting 2nd is when it's normal, for compare and contrast.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Does it do it if you hard reset? If not, it may be some app or combination of apps you're running. If it's still doing it after a reset than definately exchange it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzel9210:
I don't believe it's anything software related because it only occurs when I write on it or hold it on some places, so it must be hardware related. I'll try doing the hard reset and I'll let update on how it goes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzel9210:
I did the hard reset and it was still there. Took it back to Best Buy for an exchange and the rep literally showed everyone around her the faultiness, then they decided to get me a new unit, and it felt like they went all the way to South Korea to get it.

Then they ring it up and try to sell me their "protection" plan and I say no and tell them that the 1 year from Sammy is enough and they said, "well you need this plan in case this happens again because we're not supposed to exchange with this kind of defect."

I just gave them a weird look and took my toy and walked out. Last time I'll be in there BB!

tl;dr BB gave me a hard time after they were ringing up the exchange when I declined their "protection" plan.

Do I really need 4GB RAM? If not will it just take longer or really don't work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DaXmax:
It depends. If you have more space on HDD, you can enable ccache...

P.S Ccache really boosted up your device builds. ;)

Well, Minimum RAM requirement of a 64bit Operating System is 4GB. ;)

If you can't even run the OS smoothly, its gonna be nigh on impossible to compile ROMs on it.

Its best you have at least that much RAM.

However convincing one might sound saying you can compile on less than 4GB.. trust me, its not gonna be pleasant.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gokussjx:
DaX, CCache is a Compiler Cache. Its neither Physical Address Extension, & nor is it a SWAP/ZRAM. Its not a RAM replacement, & nor is it a supplement.

It'll boost the compile speed, but low RAM will still tax the hell outta the compiling system. There's serious risk of overheat, & damage in extreme case. Compiling, is one of the heaviest computer resource user, apart from Animations & Gaming ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Crenshaw-PCGH:
"Now, Lets add the device specific trees:

Add your own device tree, kernel tree, hardware source tree, & vendor proprietaries tree in the manifest. (BEFORE the manifest closing tags)

For example, I'm using all corresponding trees for Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 - International

Following is just an example, not what you should copy/paste. SEARCH & USE YOUR OWN DEVICE SPECIFIC TREES."

Where to find these "trees" ? :o

I have a xperia arc and iḿ not sure there to find the information?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gokussjx:
Roughly speaking, Trees are chunks of sources, for specific purpose, which can be independently used or merged. Every Tree has branches based on its version. For example, Branch can be Gingerbread, ICS, ICS-Release, JellyBean, General etc.

Xperia Arc, LT15i Anzu? Your CM10 Jellybean device tree is this one: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_anzu/tree/jellybean

Well, it doesn't overheats quickly as i've recently installed super fans around it. :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gokussjx:
The topic in hand was about RAMs lesser than 4GB!

You don't count in. Stop that gloating already xD

And CCache is useful only after first compile, & if you don't remove the previous leftovers.

Also, no JAVA support, only C/C++.

Anyway, it works, & is worth it. Keep using it.

Basically you just install the Google Map first

Then install Root Browser Lite and open it (you may try other browsers but I personally prefer this)

Find and move Google Map (I don't know its exact name in there) from /data/app to /system/app

Fix the permission to rw-r--r-- (644)

Reboot

I'm currently on MeanROM 3.4. Unfortunately I'm s-off 1.15, which means I can't just flash it.

Someone recommended I go back to stock and get the firmware updates, then back to 3.4 and then up to 3.5. Can I do this just by running the most recent RUU?

If I'm understanding correctly if I relock my bootloader I can run one of those, right? The question is if I can, how do I know which one to run because from the videos I saw it says to check my settings --> About --> Software version to see which one matches but right now my Software version says "MeanROM 3.4"
