[HTC Desire C] mehmehmen:
hi guys, long time since iv been on here but after getting this phone to replace my fairly beaten up half working original nexus 1 and installing a few of the different roms here i thought i would put my knowledge and abilities to good use, seeing as how we still have the issue of no working wifi for the CM9 port on this device. i noticed in the bug list in OP that the audio was not working because unsure which audio libs were used, and i found a thread on here where someone had posted the library that is used in a different thread maybe for a different device like the pico but refering to this device, im gonna have a quick scan through and see if i can find that post again and link to it in an edit of this post. Out of curiousity are we 100% sure that without the source from htc on this wifi module we wont be able to get wifi operational???

im glad to see someone with a bit of experience has joined our fight and think that hopefully if he has the experience a lot of the rom cookers on our device so far do not have maybe we can circumvent this source code issue and get wifi working without brown nosing htc and or the other company that provided the wifi module for this phone (as i remember reading in a thread somewhere that actually htc have nothing to do with the wifi hardware that is in this device it is actually a different company peope need to harrass for this source)

I am a well versed android user and have been flashing androids of all varieties from the original google nexus 1 and htc desire hd (which i might add was a massive ball ache compared with this device let me assure you, when emmc was first implemented in the htc desire hd it had a lot of pro devs totally **** blocked on how to unlock that device. We did however get there in the end and rom development for the HD was epic after that.

I will gladly guinea pig any thing that needs testing so long as it is not stuff that has a high bricking risk as this phone is not on a contract like my many other androids so im not to happy to throw moneys down zie drains.

before i leave may i suggest we either setup an irc channel somewhere for this device or utilize an irc channel that already has devs in that are working on devices similair in hardware specs such as the pico or similair, i suggest this mainly as the best way for people to converse about development is in direct chat and saves posting huge long threads with little or no valuable information in making thread trawling arduous and annoying. if people think this is a good idea i will gladly set up a channel at freenode or somewhere similair where we shouldnt have to much hassle.

greetings and salutations to you all

Meh

and already your experience shows where as i type the message i just did about the audio libs for this phone being the same as the pico you are there saying it just before me :D thats the kind of progress im talking about lol. also the link you posted leads me to a 404 on that site, is that because i need to be registered to the site to view it or just as you posted the link wrong??
[HTC Desire C] speed_bot:
its missing an s at the end...yea we have most of the stuff same as pico they use our kernel source golfu(3.x) for working vsync on cm10..they are on the verge of getting offiical cm10 and i think this device is missing out .. and picos libs should work..i havent unlocked my bl yet ..i will join the action soon..
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Yes . I have tried it with pico tree with modified libs and binaries and boardconfig. It compiles correctly but all I get is a bootloop.

This was the logcat I got http://pastebin.com/5u6ymXgk

This issue

was solved by adding dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1 to prop . But still ended in a bootloop though .

Heres the quote on ramdisk

When I used the compiled ramdisk , the device doesnt boot at all :( .
[HTC Desire C] mehmehmen:
Epic, the BL unlock for htc devs is so simple now with all the htc official way that i was quite happy although i still dont like the fact it leaves s-on granted im sure its easy enough for us to s-off if we really need to but i imagine a lot of people who own this phone wont even have a need to s-off ever and is probably a lot safer if they dont lol :) what say you about the idea of an irc channel so we can bang heads instantly instead of f5ing relentlessly like troll bots.??? lol
[HTC Desire C] speed_bot:
we need to dexopt everything not only data ..thats the reason it went to bootloop/... and that dir thingy we could write a script at init or post fs to make it everytime during bootup.
[HTC Desire C] mehmehmen:
i smell progress cooking already XD

this is the only thing thats gotten me off of playing DAYZ other than work lol :P
[HTC Desire C] speed_bot:
lol as if i dint knew how to unlcok bl. i said i havent done it i will in a few days of time..

edit

sorry misunderstood your post
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Yeah , you are probably right . There is one more thing that surprised me a bit. When I tried to use htc explorers CM9 build directly(Without compiling) and replaced those proprietary files from that of our device , the build actually booted and went to the home screen too. So , I am very sure that we can build CM9 for this device using pico device tree.
[HTC Desire C] speed_bot:
can you tell me when you compile ramdisk , logcat works ? atleast dmesg?
[HTC Desire C] mehmehmen:
this is why i think irc is a better method for us to communicate so we can only post things that are threa relevant and at the same time we can communicate much more efficiently about what needs to be done.

internet misunderstandings make me lols
[HTC Desire C] speed_bot:
im ok with irc.or we can have a thread in general forum for discussion
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Nope. It doesnt get recognized. And +1 to opening a new thread in general section for discussion :)

Edit we now have the channel set up with topic having link to this thread in the header ;)
[HTC Desire C] speed_bot:
yes those guys use your stock ruu (sense 4) and your kernel soruce(3.x) they have got it to boot off the sd ext..both are basically the same devices with bigger nand and different camera and wifi chip (will have to look at kernel source)

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

so device isnt recognized on cm9's ramdisk ? right ?

if thats the case ..do this ..as we know fs is getting mounted

under post fs do

sleep 5;

test.sh

and in test.sh

dmesg > sdcar00/dmesg.txt

that way we can get dmesg as a text file in sd card..
[HTC Desire C] sakindia123:
Eh..camera sensor is same ...mt9t013

And i guess u will always have to flash boot.IMG after ROM from fastboot...HTC ****

[HTC Desire C] sakindia123:
Incorrect Mount points?
[HTC Desire C] speed_bot:
we are speaking abt this
[HTC Desire C] sakindia123:
U misread me probably....

Didn't cm9 use to boot earlier?y don't u use same init.*.rc?
[HTC Desire C] speed_bot:
yes it used to boot.but with stock ramdisk see the op.
[HTC Desire C] sakindia123:
Then use stock init ramfs ;)

Common problem

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
I am having real issues with 4.0.4, When I upgraded to ICS from GB I did the usual clear caches, factory reset and all the rest, but performance was slow, the phone would restart, the phone would lock up resulting in having to remove the battery to get it going again, I've had apps close unexpectedly, launcher crashing and restart, it was a major pain in the behind. I thought OK I will install a custom ROM so I installed CM9, did the usual reset procedure etc but still performance is not great, its like the phone is struggling with memory or something, and yesterday opened the BBC news app and the entire phone locked up again resulting in having to remove the battery, so the same issues are happening on a custom rom that I had on stock.

So I am wondering is it something with 4.0.4 or is it something with my phone? Memory problems etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
- update your apps to latest versions via playstore for best compatibility.

- don't restore app + data using titanium backup after upgrade, or flashing CM9, it will drag down the performance. You can however, restore apps only.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
You might be onto something, I used TB to restore app & data on CM9
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
and that's the reason why you have sluggish performance.

If you read the warnings on CM9 thread, first post, it's categorically started there too

http://m.wpcentral.com/microsoft-notifies-zune-pass-users-impending-changes-loss-features

We just received our email notification from Microsoft about the soon-to-happen changeover from Zune Pass/Zune Music to Xbox Music. While most of the features seem to remain, including being locked in your $10 or $15 a month subscriptions (the latter for old school users), there are some significant changes that we’re not exactly too excited about.

The changes are due to rollout August 31 st , leaving little time to adjust to those new adjustments. The features that we will be losing in a few days are the following...

Sending and receiving messages, inviting friends, sharing the songs, playlists, and albums you are listening to, and viewing past play history Mixview playback and channel playlists Apps for Zune HD Purchasing music videos or streaming them as a part of Zune Music Pass from the Zune PC software Re-downloading, re-activating, or re-licensing previously purchased music videos if / when you upgrade your PC

That means under-baked features like Zune Social, something we always wanted for Windows Phone, will be going away in addition to those Zune HD apps, which are finally being given the axe.

It is also surprising to see that video purchases or streaming via Zune software will no longer being supported, as presumably Microsoft transitions to a yet undefined Xbox Video service this fall for Windows 8.

The big kicker is the in ability to re-activate or re-license previously purchased music videos, putting users like ourselves in a bit of a rush to make sure all our music videos are unlocked and DRM free between all our PCs.

What bothers us the most, we suppose, is all of these changes are removing features while we are getting nothing in return. Will that change once Xbox Music goes live? We sure hope so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jerryfer:
Another question on my previous inquiry.

Is the Samsung S3 sold in India with normal sim card? or micro sim card? If it is normal, than I can delay my purchase and buy it in India. Your answers will be of great benifit for me.

Thanks.

Thanks blestsol, being new here, I dont even know where this q & A is, as I could not find it from my first posting. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
OK... here is my progress so far...

I began with a German S3 16GB as follows:

Baseband: i9300XXLEF

Kernel: 3.0.15-61137-user se.infra@SEP-71 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 21:54:17KST 2012

Build: IMM76D.I9300XXALEF

I got an OTA that took me to this:

Baseband: i9300XXLG8

Kernel: 3.0.15-928452-user se.infra@SEP-107 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 26 12:06:08 KST 2012

Build: IMM76D.I9300XXBLG8

Then I tried to flash an Aussie stock ROM and after some issues, wound up with the following:

Baseband: I9300xxlf2

Kernel: 3.0.15-671647-user se.infra@SEP-74.1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 5 04:08:30 KST 2012

Build: IMM76D.I9300XXALF2

Now I have a nice system, did a backup using Titanium (on advice of a thread here I bought both Titanium and System Panel) - which brings me to the first question:

1. Is my Titanium backup the same thing as a Nandroid backup?

2. How complete is an Apps and Data backup? I presume if things go wrong I need to reflash my ROM and then restore the backup?

3. I have a stable system right now but I want to flash a JB ROM (I'm thinking of IOIDroid's 'Buttery' one) - do I need to also flash a new kernel?

4. Do particular ROM's need specific Kernels or can I simply try ROM's without flashing new kernels?

5. I've been reading about people flashing new modems to get improved connections; would that normally come with a particular ROM or is it a separate install?

6. What is the correct order to install" i.e. ROM, Kernel, CWM, then restore my data and apps?

7. I can flash with Odin but there seem to be many options available in the S3 Toolkit - are they just different installers that cover similar tasks or would there be situations where one would be better? e.g. the toolkit to get access to the phone when you can't get into Download mode?

Answers to any of these would be very much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Is the backup performed by the Recovery boot a nandroid boot? Watching it run it seems to do everything although I didn't see an EFS mentioned.

Unfortunately the EFS utility download I saw in another thread is not working (something about drives on the server being replaced)

I'll see if there is anything else that does EFS backups. Correct me if I've got this wrong but if I have a Titanium backup, a Recovery mode backup and an EFS backup, I should be able to restore everything back to how it currently is? I'd do a factory reset in Recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then Restore the Recovery backup - and Titanium backup would be more as a 'just-in-case' option?

Does EFS change? i.e. when I install JB should I make a new EFS backup?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I found and installed Hellcat's K-Tools and it ran my EFS backup no probs. So far I've also bought System Panel, Titanium Backup and just now, Chainfire's ROM Toolbox. A bit of redundancy there, but I hadn't seen the ROM Toolbox first. :lol:

Maybe someone can tell me - seeing I've got ROM TB I'm guessing I don't need Odin Mobile?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dawezilla:
I seem to have exhausted all my self help efforts so I'll turn to the general populace for input.

My Galaxy Nexus GSM is running the deodexed Google ROM 4.1.1. Its unlocked and rooted (of course). I have been finding lately that the device is becoming slow at times, and even occasionally locks. I have had a variety of applications on it to 'optimize' but I have found that really does not do too much but add more clutter and 'crap-ware' to the device.

What I want to know are some examples of ROM+Utilities that people use to keep the device running fast and error free. I'll load a different ROM and utility 'recipe' to smooth this thing out.

Any examples/ideas from the tinkering experts out there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomad4ever:
I usually boot into recovery and clean cache and dalvik about once a week. It helps a lot.

If you want to expand on that, do a scheduled daily TB around 5 or 6am each day and a monthly factory reset with restore from one of those dailies.

Android seems to have a tendency to get slower over time, depending how much apps you have installed (I have about 260) and this procedure mitigates on those issues. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Well what kind of "optimizing" apps did you use? I hope it's not task killer ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
Monthly factory reset? I'm gonna say that's really excessive.....I don't do any of those and I never have android getting slower over time.....you'll get the same effect by rebooting the phone.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marcb:
a reboot at least once a week is good...

also, clean the cache every once in a while...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razerblader:
Why is every developer (at least all threads I have reed) so stubborn to call ROMs stable when they should call them smooth instead?

Especially the CM-team with their CM-ROMs, no offence what they are developing and every single one is developing, but I just see it as this:

Stable does nowdays mean smooth while stable in the own meaning doesn't mean stable as all functions is working as they are supposed to, just that there isn't lag, and lagfree in my meaning is smoothness, and when i reed that plenty of the CM-ROMs became stable i thought, oh, now I finally can use it as a daily driver, but no, not even a simple thing like SMS worked the way it should, it became an MMS after one whole SMS (Xperia S).

And for me, IF basic functions, the two most important things when you buy an phone, call and SMS is the things who are function out-of-the-box nowdays, and now it's more about functions, like HDMI-out or USB with MHL-support and such and I think those who make RC's and stable releases should reconsider the words stable and Smooth.

Call it smooth instead of stable when everything is floating as it should.

And call it RC's when you got those most basic functions plus some more working, like today, we expect Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and more being functioning for a good ROM, so in my opinion, people should consider this thinking and make words mean what they are telling persons.

And this is not a question only, it's a consideration and the intention with this thread is to start a discussion of where to draw the lines for stable, smooth, but I think every single one of us is pleased with smooth=lagfree :p

But the other part should be a real re-consideration about how to use the word stable and to let stable be smooth instead.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
Developers tend to stay away from the word stable, because people think that if something is 'stable' there should be no bugs at all, and there are ALWAYS bugs when you have 1000's of users flashing coming from different ROMs, flashing in different ways etc etc

Its just easy to stay away from it and not get spammed because you said its stable and some app force closed once on them
