[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunmii:
Reflash your Kernel. Wipe Everything (System, Data, Dalvik, Cache). Then try again. Try another recovery and see if it work...cos CWM sometimes throws an error while parsing some scripts while Xrec simply ignores them. try Xrecovery. When in Root Screen Flash-Tool, Identify your device And install a restart into the default Xrec for that ROM.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draxx318is:
It worked! big thanks!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] DrackyW:
Hi

I would post this in the Dev post for the ROM but i cant because i have under 10 posts:(

I have been using xT4Z1N4TRx'S ROM since beta4 and its always worked as he has outlined in the notes

but now when i installed the V1.0 (after a full wipe) the keyboard back-light doesn't go on anymore as well

as it quickly flips from portrait to landscape and then to portrait again in a quick moment where before

having the KB out forced the screen to landscape unless the app didn't handle it

I just wanted to know if anyone else has the problem or is it just me and my noobiness when i installed it?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] The Android Manual:
that's one of the bugs in sensewich the keyboard backlight really doesn't light at the moment give Taz some time and maybe hell fix it in his next update :):)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
I've pulled and attached the apk file for the Orange Quick Tap application. Unfortunately, I've only been able to get it to install on Galaxy S3s. If anyone is skilled enough to get it to install on a Galaxy Nexus (I think there are device checks in the apk?), please have a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
Almost 30 of you have downloaded this, yet not a single comment? Come on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sebbo90:
Hi,

I installed it on my htc one x but it needs a quicktap sim, I'm going to order one and let you guys know what it says
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RichySamui:
Can't seem to get it installed on my S3. Moved it to system/app changed permissions but wouldn't install. Rebooted and same story. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
That helps. I think that suggests that this apk doesn't actually have a device check. The reason why it's not installing on my Galaxy Nexus is probably due to a missing dependency, which I believe to be the Open Mobile API.

The Open Mobile API is used by many manufacturers to enable the use of special SIM cards as an NFC secure element for payments and other things. Google have not included this API in stock Android, as they want to limit Nexus devices to just the embedded secure element. Compare that to the Galaxy S3, which is confirmed to be able to use the MicroSD, SIM and its embedded secure element.

To test this, could people with any stock software NFC-enabled Samsung (non-Nexus), HTC or Sony device try to install the apk? I'd expect it to install on any ISIS-certified phone for example. And then to confirm that the API is the issue, could someone who has installed an AOSP stock ROM (which shouldn't support the open mobile API) onto their GS3, One X or Xperia S try to install the Quick Tap apk? If I'm right, it won't install on those ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
What ROM are you running on your S3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sebbo90:
Right rang up orange and they are not giving put nfc sim cards unless you are a new or upgrading costumer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrmarkuk:
Installs fine on stock unbranded SIII.

When ran, says checking for services

Then says "Sorry, you need a quick tap sim card in order to use the quick tap wallet" with customer service numbers to call 150 PAYM/450 PAYG
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
Alright, thanks. Now we need someone with a STOCK (no TouchWiz) AOSP CUSTOM ROM, e.g. CM9/CM10 on a SIII, One X or Xperia S to see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr9722:
Rooted HTC One X with ARHD. Installs with no issue but falls over at the Sim card required stage. I'm going to give Orange a call and see what they say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
Unfortunately ARHD is based on the stock HTC ROM. Does anyone have one of the phones I've listed above, but running CM9 or CM10?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sferg.410:
I tried to install it on my rooted GNex with stock 4.1.1 JB.

Put it into the download folder then went to install it it and it just says "app not installed"

Can someone tell me why it wont install, what the problem is?

I am on Orange UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
I've already explained why it won't install. Stock Android doesn't have some components that this application requires for communication with the SIM. Furthermore, it's very possible that this application will never work with the Galaxy Nexus, as Google might have physically removed the connection between the SIM and the NFC controller - forcing Nexus users to be limited to only Google Wallet. Many people don't realise that Google are actually quite anti-competitive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sferg.410:
Guess I better get a Galaxy S3 LTE then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kudoboi:
I have a nfc sim card from starhub. Dk if it will work

Sent from Gnex with AndroidME CM10 ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
It won't install because it's a system app. Push it to /system/app instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sferg.410:
ok did that and tried to install it. got "parse error" as a result.

thanks anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
That's not the issue. I've already mentioned twice that stock Android does not contain the dependencies that this application requires; that's why it won't install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
I understand that this orange app installs a barclays app - can you post the apk for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
I don't have an S3, so I can't install this in the first place. Your signature lists you as owning an S3, so why don't you install it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
Because, as my signature shows, I am on 3 UK, not on Orange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
You can still install it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aust S5:
Stock cm10 international sgs3 - aborted install
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProbablyJoe:
Attempted to install on my HTC One X running JellyBean AOKP, and it says "App not installed". Sounds like you're right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
Great, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RichySamui:
Sorry for taking a while to come back. I've just tried again but no luck. I'm running resurrection remix - jelly bean. Let me know if you need me to test anything. Promise I'll be quicker this time :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
There's nothing you can do at the moment. Stock-based ROMs lack the capability to communicate with the SIM's secure element. The best thing you can do is to constantly pester your devs to apply the patches that I've mentioned here, as that should make SIM secure element support possible on all ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simon1055:
orange quicktap app

this is the barclays orange quick tap app you need orange quick tap sim to use it but will work on any samsung phone with nfc
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] PreludeRM:
Just loaded the latest build of CM 7 on my milestone hopeing the wi-fi teathering would work. I had been using RC0 as my daily driver for a while now as 7.2.0 RC 2 and 7.2.0 release the wifi teathering stopped working for me. Any ideas on how to get the theathering to work? or am I stuck going back to the RC0. This latest release is alot a lot more stable and I don't get the low memory after running lots of apps.

Thanks

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Edit : Thanks nxd! The phone has been shipped off to bhundven. Now patience everyone, and no asking for ETAs!!!!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Thanks TLS,

I will be starting off by porting the froyo kernel drop for sk4g to teamacid's cm7, with MTD (see this for MTD vs. BML terminology).

I have received the phone from TLS, and have started a few ports, but ultimately we want to get sgs4g and sk4g on the aries kernel, as it is actively maintained by the CyanogenMod kernel developers for "Galaxy S" exynos based phones. Yes, the sk4g is a exynos processor. (search for s5pc110 or 3110)

I will post test builds and post progress as I go along in this thread.

THINGS NOT TO DO:

Do not ask for ETAs!

I'm doing this out of the kindness of my being. I like to dev on phones that don't get much attention. If you like my work. Hit thanks or send a donation

Don't get frustrated when I take a lot of time.

It happens where my life gets in the way of development progress. I'm currently out of a job and looking for employment. There maybe times where I am away for more then 3 days and have no updates.

Don't flame or go off-topic.

I'm on good terms with a lot of moderators and will just have your posts cleaned out.

THINGS TO DO:

Be patient. If I'm taking a long time... get involved in politics :) Help make our world a better place!

When I post test builds and you find a problem, try to reproduce the issue. If you can reproduce the issue, try to log it with aLogrec or adb logcat. Also explain the issue with clean spelling and clear grammar so that I can try to reproduce the issue exactly how you did. When I return the phone to TheLastSidekick, I will need even more details when you find a problem. It may be some time until I can afford the money to buy my own sk4g.

Remember that I'm doing this for fun. I like the challenge. This is how I have fun. Don't make it a nightmare for me.

There are others on TeamAcid that might jump in to help out from time to time.

I'm really stoked for TLS to send the sk4g. If you also appreciate him doing this, please donate to him. This is very nice of him to send me his phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eMJaaay:
I love you guys :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Don't forget AdamOutler did figure out how to make the sk4g unbrickable. I would suggest implementation of that before working on anything major just saying. Would love to see this project succeed.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] NuclearApple:
Good Luck!

You'll cope with this s**t =)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
I've got unbrickable mod on my SGS4G. I didn't brick my phone once while porting cm7 or cm9. Softbrick, sure, but nothing a download usb jig couldn't fix ;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
This is interesting. I'll admit I know nothing of what unbrickable mods do, or how to use them for that matter. (obviously, they make your phone impervious to bricking...but yeah)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] senrai180:
Good luck! Best regards from everyone, we really appreciate this! Even if it takes a long time, thank you.

Sent from my rooted gift from God 4G running a Gloriously Overdosed ROM using the expensive XDA app
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
UnBrickable Mod (UBM, see my signature), is essentially what is called Power-On Reset configuration.

When the board resets, there are some configuration pins on the s5pc110 that are called the 'XOM' pins.

These pins tell the processor where to find the bootloader, and specifically on our processor, the order of places to try to find it.

Normally, it will try to boot from OneNand, but by changing the pull up values of XOM (by removing XOM5 and grounding it's pad), it will boot from USB -> UART -> OneNand. So you can boot to a bootloader over usb, which is what the resurrection program does.

Then if you totally blow away the bootloaders from onenand flash, you can still boot with the injected bootloaders over usb.

As I said before, In my work to port cm7 and cm9 to sgs4g, I never messed with the bootloaders and there was no need to use unbrickable mod.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wuziq:
excited!! i'll definitely help out with testing builds. thank you, TLS and bhundven.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Well I have the phone ready to send, I just need to come up with about 15$ dollars or so. I want to have it insured so that if the USPS loses it, we're still golden. Everytime I'm about to fix someone's computer for some money, they keep bailing out on me and saying they don't have the money so it never happens. I'm ready to send out the Sidekick on a moment's notice, just need to pull the cash together somehow. (No, I don't have a job, I'm a full-time college student so I rely on being able to repair PC's for cash.)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wuziq:
i'll send you $15. PM me your paypal.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Exit_Only:
I'm in college and work full time? Go find a job. You cant rely on PC repairs for friends as a source of income. If you can't come up with 15 bucks you got issues.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wuziq:
^ astounding. mods clean up?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
Those people I refuse to do any more work for them. I also demand cash up front for service... been there myself bro
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Thanks, at least someone knows the repair business haha. I tell you, being a self-employed technician in a low-area of income is nearly impossible.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jamesbodden:
Hey TheLastSidekick ignore the haters I feel you on people flaking. I do a little buy and flip for ebay and I get buyers constantly going dark after winning an item.

In addition I just picked up a a sidekick 4g for 50 bucks on cl. Its body is a little battered but screen looks good and I just got glorious on it and sim unlock. If there is anything I can do to help with the progress of roms let me know. The hardware is too good to let this die an early death
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d4n137_91:
I've been lurking this board for quite a while now and I've got to say I'm so happy a dev is willing to try to get CM6 working on our phone :D

When it comes time to start testing let me know and I'll be willing to help out.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
I'll be ordering the Relay 4G this week which means I'll be more willing to take risks with trying test builds on my Sidekick. So, count me in for trying out your new builds when you have them ready. Thank you again for your efforts on this!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vikramkhalsa:
Wow, i'm excited about this. Thanks for giving us hope and keeping this phone alive guys!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Did this happen? If not, please PM me and I will PayPal you the shipping cost.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Nothing thus far, well that I know of. PM TheLastSidekick.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
I'd love to say quite a few people have been helpful in this matter, including our very own kernel dev, nxd. Thank-you.

The major problem I have is not having a Paypal because I do not have a credit card to link to it unfortunately (due to not having a job, nor ever getting one my school was based upon a lot of certifications and studying so jobs weren't easy to get).. if anyone has an idea about how to use Paypal without a credit card/or a different way to use the money for USPS I'd gladly do it and give you credit towards the foundation and new-life of the Sidekick 4G.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] lenadariel:
My paypal is connected to my checking account and visa debit card...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
A money order is being sent to me thanks to nxd. As soon as I'll get it, I'll take a video of me boxing the Sidekick and I'll send it on it's way to bhundven.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Awesome! I personally don't need a video ;)

Can't wait to start testing some stuff I've been throwing together!

Big thanks to nxd!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
TLS's SK4G has arrived!

First time in a few years I've received a package usps.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djh:
Woohoo! Can't wait for development to start :)

Thanks to all of you guys for keeping this phone alive.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Well, while starting to look at everything, it may make sense to forgo cm6 and cm7, and move straight to cm9 with the aries work teamacid and I are working on.

The code is cleaner and I see the inclusion of the missing drivers for the sk4g to be easier and more straight forward then going backwards to cm6/cm7.

After we get cm9 on the aries kernel done, we are looking to move to cm10. So, things may get interesting quick.

The phone came with a low battery, as TLS warned. So it's charging.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:

http://pastebin.com/6nZpLyaz
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Qq. If cm9 is made. Can it be back ported to cm7?? Because I would like to port mokke. Os, joy oS n lewa. Os?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Glad it made it alright! :P Sorry about the low battery, I fully charged and then drained it so it could hopefully not have ****ty battery when you charged it. (I have wonky screwed up charging schedules where I take the phone off the charger early before it's fully charged.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Haha JoyOS. I saw that for the SGSII. Even the professional developers in our Dev section haven't fully compiled a working JoyOS, although it's pretty far along. The project was dropped in May due to a lack of interest.

If we have CM9, there is no NEED whatsoever to go backwards. If CM10 makes it onto our phone, I'd be highly surprised though we have specs good enough for it, I wonder how the driver problem is going to be handled.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Same on sgs4g. No one cared enough. If you want an OS that looks like the iPhone, go waste your money on one. :p

very carefully, with debuggers ;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Running into any major problems yet? I know the source is a mess.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Source isn't that bad. The problem is, and always has been: Time

Currently I'm information gathering. Also trying to fix a SoD (Sleep of Death) issue on the aries kernel that runs on the Galaxy S 4G (3.0.8).

This is the kernel I'm going to port to. It already supports most the drivers on the SK4G.

The tricky driver might be the accelerometer driver, but I got some ideas on that one.

About 75% of the phone is the same as the SGS4G. The LCD is different, but still supported in the aries kernel.

The touch keyboard is the same (Atmel mxt224), and is even supported in the stock upstream linux kernels. (very common device)

I'm still not sure about the hardware keyboard, but it might just be connected to usb. We'll see when we get that far.

The hardest part, and this is true (still) with the SGS4G, is gpio configuration.

So the information collecting phase has been very good. Thanks to Jax184 for documenting the hardware so very well!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Sounds like progress to me man, haha. Yeah, AOKP/CM10 has had SODs as of lately. Though after making my own builds, I stopped crashing altogether even tho CM/AOKP hasn't fixed the problem entirely. (SGS2)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ultraprimeomega:
Im sure im jumping ahead but does anyone see the LED notifications working with future development?, we might have them working one day but so far they seem to be very different from other phones.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
The hardware keyboard is connected via GPIO IIRC. s3c-keypad is the module.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Hah, that is interesting! The sgs4g source also provides the s3c-keypad (and as I said before, source for the sidekick... in the 2.6.35.7 sgs4g kernel drop), but I couldn't find any usage of it by our device. That explains it. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Yes, you are jumping ahead. Yes, Every part of the phone should be working when my port is complete. Even the notification LED.

Epic4g has one. There is another sgs phone that has notification led, but it slips my mind as of right now.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Well how's everything going?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Slowly, Today is my daughters birthday, and this whole week has been prepping for that.

I am working little by little on porting to aries, and have a bit done.

I should have some progress to show soon.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Congratulations, and happy birthday to your daughter! If you need any help with anything, please let me know.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
Expect a donation when ANY version (2.2, or 2.3) goes stable...

I have two of these bad boys that need something more "open"...

Thank you for tasking yourself with this!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Agreed. Any port of a mainstream rom would be welcome and many a fat donation would be given. I personally, first started out with ICS Domination, then switched to GOv2, and when it came out, been on GOv3 since. I mean, GOv3 is nice and all, TLS. But the status bar tweaks and whatnot that CM comes equiped with is the thing I'm looking forward to the most. Hell, ports of ROM parts from CM6/7 would be sufficient for most, but that's just my opinion. Either way, keep up the good work, bhundven. Although many would probably be saying "WHERE THE @#^* IS CM6?!?!?!" I believe it'll come when it comes. If it doesn't, no big deal. If we wanted it that bad we would've gotten of our lazy butts and made it ourselves. But since we don't want it that bad, we can wait. That's my philosophy anyways.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Congrats to you and your daughter, bhundven. BTW, you are the man for doing this. I cannot afford the Relay right now so I wish you the best of luck.

Expect a BIG donation from me, that's for sure. Let's not scare him away guys. Patience is a virtue.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
Hey everyone,

Sorry for the delayed response!

I've been on hiatus. Looking for a job and dealing with some personal life stuff.

But here is some status, because I'm sure your patience is wearing. :D

NOTE: I have not commited these changes yet! But I will soon.

The following list of changes are based on the Samsung Galaxy S 4G Aries wip.

I've added CONFIG_SAMSUNG_SK4G to the arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/Kconfig, so that we can make sk4g specific changes to the kernel.

That also means I now have a kernel defconfig for sidekick4gmtd (yes, mtd kernel ;) )

I found kxsd9 driver for accelerometer already in the drivers/staging tree. I'll have to make sure it works right.

MTD partition layout is done. It's the same as the SGS4G (but, in the future, we may change the SGS4G layout to put /data on the sdcard... this is still up in the air)

A majority of the device drivers needed are already in the kernel, so this means a lot less work! :D

I've started a device tree based on the Samsung Galaxy S 4G's device tree.

Things that need to get finished:

Need to add the LCD Panel driver, that none of the other Samsung Galaxy S phones in the aries tree seem to use. It's all good though, this one isn't that hard to add.

Physical keyboard work.

GPIO mappings and verification (I need to do some research on this, as we are still having some GPIO issues on SGS4G)

Try booting it to at least recovery to verify devices are working properly.

As soon as I can get the LCD Panel driver in, I should be able to start testing bootup and start adding some gpio mappings to get devices working properly.

Physical keyboard is the last on the list, and may be the easiest one to get working. Famous last words ;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
Ill def donate some funds if this gets going :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
I appreciate that, but I decided a few days ago to turn off my "donate to me" button.

I like doing this stuff for fun, and don't want people holding me to a project because they donated to me.

Not saying I'm going to get this port done and abandon you guys, but I have no crystal ball to see what my future brings.

At least source will be available... that works. :D

EDIT: If you really want to donate, pm me and I will give you my email address to donate to.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Rebel_X:
Dude, if we donated, we donated for the stuff you already done for this community, not necessarily for the stuff you will do. You already did great job :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Seconded. And at the very least, you have tried. No one else has even went this far for a device they never owned. Out of kindness, I think you deserve a donation. I think you should make it a disclaimer in your OP's that you do NOT expect or want donations due to completeness of a project, but rather because the people support your point of view, your determination and persistence. That being said, turn your donation button back on!
