I have a question again! :D

I undestood this:

but I don't know: How to integrate the gb sources into the cm sources? :confused: or Did you do it another way?

I like these things, but I don't know how can I study they. (exception you Calin, and a bit the Internet)

Flash Player for arm6

Need modified flash player for arm6 ! I use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1303168 (ver. 10.2.157.340)

It works perfectly!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FormerSlacker:
This flash works on the 908?? Really?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jwkk:
Yes, indeed, as I write, I use it myself on this phone!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
how to understand a Chinese book ? well, start learning Chinese so about this : spend 1-2 years learning a programming language C/ Java are essential languages then it happens: you just stop asking and that's a sign you are the right way !

..anyway that tutorial is good for some phones - search Cyanogenmod site for a list of supported phones if you have one of them then follow that tutor if not.. you are on your own... because you have to port Cyanogenmod to your phone and that's not just about compiling sources unfortunately this is the last step you are to start like this :

-define a new device (.....)

-prepare a script to import proprietary .so files from your phone

-prepare environment

-build it ----> here is where the game has just begun ... prepare to spend 3- 6 months on this "game"

-because you get many errors from compiler and you solve 20 % of them by adjusting compiler flags for the rest just edit sources ---> here your programming knowledge comes

- it is not possible to give more details - a programmer if want to share it for you then will post a repository on github or somewhere but it's about source code nothing more nobody will tell you more it's not possible to understand it because you skipped an essential step so start from beginning : learn programming by yourself

about flash:

flash is not a problem for every phone but HTML5 can be a "problem" all things are moving that way: Jelly Bean is the first version (4.1) without flash support

anyway Dolphin /Chrome has support for flash and MX Player too
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jwkk:
Yes, yes! Chrome in mobile use for some time, but know that it is mainly designed for devices with larger screen :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FormerSlacker:
With what browser? No luck with stock or Opera Mobile.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jwkk:
STOCK works in browser, Chrome, and applications as well.:good:

I do not use Opera and therefore do not know and do not want to:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FormerSlacker:
Odd, doesn't work here on Stock on froyo, oh well, thanks anyways.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jwkk:
See, that we are talking about Gingerbread ?:confused:

On Froyo it probably will not work :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tgeanin:
minor problem!

Hy Calin!

Since i instaled your rom i have 2 minor problems:

1. it not work the sound on key press

2. it not work the sound on select

It not a big problem but if you now a metod to resolve it.

With grate respect!

Can somebody upload a config.gz from a GB updated phone for me? I'll really appriciate that!

You can easilly pull the config.gz from the device by the following command:

adb pull /proc/config.gz

Thank you guys!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FormerSlacker:
Yeah, probably, but thanks for the help in any case.

I've decided to finally get a new phone so it's no big deal. I'll still watch these threads, who knows, maybe GB will come to us poor Canadian users! :p

Just out of curiosity, has the baseband changed from Froyo to GB, and could you post the versions? I'd be interested in comparing them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stracker06:
help

Hey Guys!

Please, help to qltstar. I would like to ask you to give some help for him. We are from Hungary. In our country there isn't an official gingerbread rom for this phone. He has a good idea. He would like to try to make a "custom rom" for our phones. Ruscan.Calin as you said, I tried to ask our gsm provider to make the update available, but they said, that they didn't know anything about the update of this phone. They haven't got any information about it!

So, please, help us! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] movefun:
I join to the team :), because I'm from Hungary too.

I compiled the froyo sources (thank you Calin), but not the gb sources (I have got the gb config.gz), because I need the gb bootloader.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stracker06:
Today, I got this message from Alcatel:

Dear X,

As your phone is Move, currently there is no plan to upgrade your phone to Android higher OS version.We sincerely apologize the inconvenience!

So, the Hungarian users will not be able to use the official update. So, we realy need your attention (with the config.gz of gingerbread).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Frankfor85:
I'm from Italy (my phone has "wind" brand) and also in my country gb update will never see the light... can someone help us? We are a lot of people!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] furumuser:
Hi Frankfor85, I'm from italy too.

Where does your statement come from? Any answer from Wind/Alcatel offial support or just a guess?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Frankfor85:
I've sent a mail to alcatel requesting gb update from this phone, and they said with just some words that last version is also available with move upgrade software... but obviously this is not true! They didnt say directly that gb update will never see the light, but the tone of the answer let me think that they dont have interested to release this for us!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stracker06:
help

I can't believe it! Men! We, the Hungarian and the Italian users asked a very simple thing from those users who have gingerbread on their phone. I think that we didn't want a difficult thing. However we didn't get help. I ask You again to upload a config.gz from a GB updated phone for us. "You can easily pull the config.gz from the device by the following command:"

adb pull /proc/config.gz

(I hope, that someone will be nice enough, to help us.)

THANK YOU!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
:laugh::laugh:: I can't believe it too

you are very right ! nobody will help because to get helped it is easy to help somebody is harder :confused::laugh: well ...that's the people we are :D

ok now I do not have stock rom ( yes you need config from stock ) to give you config file but tomorrow I flash it if you think config will solve your problem

yes here is the problem what to do with that config ...nothing except for the case you want to compile the kernel but what for ?

also a way to get a config is to download kernel sources and there is a /config folder ... /arch/arm/configs/ and check for your motherboard msm7627 and get default config file

believe me config will not solve the problem ...it's much more complicated and risky too.. to flash fota partitions anyway if it's a success you get a phone with SIM locked and you need an unlock code and more than that you risk to brick it

...if phone will never boot ( nothing shown on display no Android logo etc ) only battery indicator :D well, phone is really bricked and no software will help you only services authorized by Alcatel can help here

ok let us resume :

in this weekend I give you config file from stock rom and even more fota partitions (by PM) use it at your own risk !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] qltsar:
You won't need to do that, because your phone updated once to GB. I just need the defconfig for the GB kernel.

Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
stock-kernel config file GB-only

ok that's pretty damn cool you want only config file for me it is so easy ..well, here is it..

only that you should buy this phone because you do not have it I bet on this .

I flashed a stock ROM in order to get stock config because on this custom ROM (Robinson) the kernel is a bit different (recompiled) it means if I give you config from custom ROM you get errors when compiling kernel from sources so... config file from stock ROM (attached) is one thing and config file from custom ROM (Robinson) is another thing carefully you think about this .!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DeadEndRic:
That's it, GB for hungarians! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stracker06:
???

I have to admit, that I don't understand you. What do you want to say??? :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DeadEndRic:
The guy said, that he may be able to make us a working hungarian rom, and I'm very exited about it, as I'm hungarian too. :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FormerSlacker:
Isn't it possible to dump the bootloader so other people can flash it along with the GB rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadK9:
Everyone needs somethin'...

Hey everybody,

Does anybody have a battery drain problem as I have???

My move needs a charge daily... pretty soon I'll change the usb socket again...

1. Is it about the CPU OC? Can it be set to default in this case or stopped?

2. Is it about 3G network? Can it be set to 2G networks only? Because if the phone is not unlocked... I do not need 3G from COSMOTE.

3. Or is just my battery almost dead?:confused:

I see people here are talking real problems...

Maybe this isn't so important... but still... if the phone have intensive usage, battery last only a few hours... this sucks...:crying:

Thank you.

Small battery life is a problem for a lot of android devices.

Buy a second spare battery. (maybe you could get on ebay and two with charger).

i have created a blog for this phone. I have created it because i searched many different forums for simple solutions. I have gathered all the things i have tried to my cellphone Alcatel 908 and i will publish almost everyday. Take a look maybe it is usefull for you too.

Here is the blog: http://alcatelmove.blogspot.gr/

Its only for helping people especially newbies.

All are tested first to my phone.

Thank you for reading.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djada80:
Hi everyone !

For those who don't remember me , i just peeked in to take credit , and give !

On the other hand , when thanks go, don't forget my old pal snkiz (Corey B. from Canada) and Sebastien,without who you wouldn't see any custom stuff today .Dot.

For willing to develop again, i have a few general guidelines , if i may(i'm gonna re-take development as soon as i have time and hdd space for linux)

1. we should reverse engineer the original Alcatel update utility, as i am pretty damn sure it is good at some point to debrick, also it contains a file , Brandy_NPRG7627.bin , which seems to be the most reverred bootloader.

2. a developer-friendly phone is a carrier unlocked one, so it should be possible to sim-unlock it

3. it is not absolutely necessary to flash the CWM over the original recovery, it can be used this way

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot revovery.img (CWM should be in the /platform-tools directory)

4. a chainloader would be nice, how about a Cosmote Move with windows on it ?

Best regards,and happy developing !

PS. nice work everyone who contributed in any means possible
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
I try to answer you here pointing some facts :

- you need this to do a stock ROM in .zip format :

- good Linux knowledge

- understand Edifiy syntax to prepare updater script

-you need a CWM recovery to flash the ROM to the phone

Anyway this was my choice only I used Cyanogenmod 7.2 to get a fully working CWM for this phone then I prepared stock ROMs and based on stock ROM I made this custom ROM

-about "credits" :

:laugh:

-you will never see a picture of mine and ruscan.calin is only my ID here NOT real name just because I'm not so "proud" to be the "author" of this ROM I tell you my opinion : this ROM was developed by Google+Alcatel I give them 99.9 % credits I am only the modder of this ROM I mean this

is not real development

it is just a weekend/ hobbyist activity if you want to be a developer spend your time on developer.android.com not here ...

so modding is one thing but development is very different

-about your plans :

- words are not important only results are important

- so please do not tell me about HDD space just start to post results discussions are not so important I think

-Windows Phone 7/ 7.5 / 8 will never work on this phone except for the case you replace CPU and this is only one problem I think you are far-far-away in space or time but sometimes the most important is to put the right question then the answering is coming very soon : WHAT FOR ?

Anyway good to see somebody wants to improve this phone so I want to encourage you with some warnings

PS Is not my intention to blame anything and anybody just because everybody will contribute on this site I give you an example in my opinion :

lidroid user from China is a developer because he programmed an application Lidroid Quick Panel so he is a developer but the man to adapt the things to work on his phone is a modder
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djada80:
mersi pentru enlightment, you are full of vision !

i've flashed the robinsom on my phone without flashing first the cwm on my /recovery, so it is possible, means not necessary.also not good thing to change the splash.

there is motorola with msm7627 running wm 6.5.which model ? google it out :) ...and i had uploaded one version of CWM which i could compile , when sebastien was working on his ot990 version, a long time ago... where ? see the OLD thread :)

and least , but not last , if you are so altruistic, and not seek vain glory , why the **** could you NOT STAY on the old thread, so now we have 3 separate ones ?

on ubuntu 10.04 LTS a 20GB /user was not enough for CM7 to compile.how do i know that ? it's up to you to decide :) .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
please read this post carefully

it is the last time to answer this because I do not want to enter polemics here so I resume my previous message :

please post

RESULTS

not words, words belongs to politicians and I really hate Romanian politicians

- I was talking about Windows Phone 7 not Windows Mobile 6.x this is different, anyway good luck and do not forget to put it on your agenda maybe you forget about it.

- get a bigger HDD to solve the problem at least 1 TB I use one too :cowboy:

- I posted it : just look at the old thread everybody was crying about lack of possibilities for this phone -no custom ROM with root etc so I made one and shared here this is the complete story. ( here is a "dot" sign )

- the question related to "threads" and "glory" is not relevant I think.

-I used Sebastian's CWM for a while but for me was not good enough ( no full backup) so I compiled one just before to prepare this Robinson ROM -everything is based on CWM in my ROM ( I prepared stock ROM and custom ROM starting from CWM )

Actually I'm not using this phone anymore (I have it but I got a better one ) but I am glad you are here with plans to improve this phone so I can't wait for your results out of curiosity !

sincer bafta mare eu am avut o mica contributie si nu ma laud nici nu vreau sa contest meritele celorlalti credeam ca e util cuiva asa ca am postat aici din pacate nici un "proroc" nu e apreciat in tara lui :o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadK9:
WELCOME BACK djada80!!!

Hey djada80 where have you been all this time?

You were the father of this movement and you set the wheels in motions reagrding developing custom rom for Alcatel OT908.

It doesn't matter anything else, what has been done it was more than we could ask for, and Calin really DID A LOT for us, the common users of this bastard phone!!!

Maybe there are many other things to improve so just be constructive, both of you or anyone else who know much more than the rest of us, common users.

We only colect the fruits of your labor and hard work... consider us parasites... I don't know... but I'm sure many people liked your work and mention your names in different circles... we know, at least I'm aware of the time spent developing or modifing software... not that I would know something about it... but the results speaks for themself!!! Results don't come out of nowhere!!!

IT IS YOUR CREDIT!!! YOURS!!!

We are fortunate people like you are willing to share their work.

Asa ca, daca se mai poate face ceva pentru dracia asta de telefon, bagati mare!!! Sunt tare curios de ce mai e capabil!!! Ca i-ati cam atins toate limitarile. Voi sunteti asi in materie, noi doar luam de pe tava... oricum fara voi, fara sebastien, snikz, nu am fi ajuns aici!!! Iar CALIN, a facut destul de multe!!! Nu o fi el developer insa ne-a dat speranta ca telefonul poate mai multe decat arata!!!

BIG THANKS TO ALL YOU!!!​

Hy!

How can i connect a stick to this phone?

I see on the net is many phones that have the ability to connect with a memory stick but i don't find an app to help to connect.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fixxxer667:
If I understood correctly, you're talking about connecting a usb flash drive to your phone to access its contents.

This is called OTG USB Host and I believe it is not supported on our phone, neither through hardware nor through software..

if it makes you feel any better, many devices at three to five times the cost of the 908 don't support this either, I think only Samsung does it lately and not even with all devices..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tgeanin:
Well maybe in the future apears a solution. I believe soon a smart guy will make a smart app to help us because i believe is a software problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djada80:
Good to be back !

Thanks , old friend ! I did not wanted to be seen disrespectful regarding ruscan.calin, he indeed made a GREAT job .I mean it !

I love this little phone, it is the first and only real hardware experience on android for me , so i thought it could be transformed into our version of geeksphone .If ruscan.c would be more cooperative , but he gave me the upper hand.There is a lot to do , in so little time ... And for the asking , i was learning php and perl , i do web programming now (server-side scripting for web pages, for now).It consumed all my mental resources :).

I have noticed that the camera pictures have very low size 0.5 mb my old nokia e51 pictures were larger... I had one app I can't remember the name, the pictures quality were much greater.. So is there any app that can beat the stock app??
[LG Optimus 3D] BigBadSheep:
Hello

You shouldn't take the size of a picture as a reference for quality. It depends on many factors how big a file would be. Speaking from my experience a wide photo is bigger than a zoomed in photo because it has more details to take in, a photo in a brighter light gives a bigger size, a photo with a lots of details and colors also gives a bigger size. Plus technology is advancing at rapid pace so you can't compare cameras on different devices from different times.

As alternatives you can try something like: Camera FV-5 (emulates a DSLR with many of its functions) or you can try putting on a stock camera from LG Prada or LD O3D Max (normally to have these you must flash a ROM) or you can look at here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1502963 - a thread about camera mods on O3D

I also recommand some other apps that gives more functionality to the stock camera: Fast Burst Camera - takes like 100 shots in about 20 secs - good to make animated gifs, and Lapse It - an app that takes and wrap it up timelapse pictures into a movie.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garryknight:
It's great that I can use something like Teamviewer or Connectbot to connect to my home PC and download a file (onto the PC) remotely, from anywhere in the world using my fast and (practically) unlimited home broadband.

What I'd like to then do is download that file onto my Nexus 7. And occasionally upload files. However, neither Connectbot nor Android Terminal Emulator have scp built in and, while Teamviewer claim that their latest version has the ability to transfer files, it hasn't appeared on the Play Store yet.

Does anyone know of any other relatively simple solution to this problem? By simple I mean that I don't want to set up the PC as an ftp server. The home PC runs Kubuntu 12.04, by the way.

Hi,

Today I installed Blackmart Alpha on my Nook, and I saw a updated version of Cool Reader (3.1.0-19), you can find it on here. However on Google Play, the newest version is 3.0.57-15, updated long time ago. Does anyone know what is it? I cant even find the devs web page, only the engine's sourceforge.

It has redesigned UI, better in my opinion, however I am unable to get into "Reader's Options", when activated (middle-screen press), in blinks black, and goes to books list. On my phone it shows options like search or open file. Anyone knows how to fix it?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] rawos:
