[MENTION=2693923]scary alien[/MENTION] not really, i mean i know how it works, just dunno how to generate proper size in updater, for example:

i create regular ota: multiple .p files and some images, zipped, signed OTA.zip size is 20mb, /patch size is 7 mb, images 10 mb and /system (new files) 3mb, how do i know how many bytes i should set to make this ota install in recovery?

should i summarize .p files size or target (patched apk, jar) files size (would be around 90mb) or what else?
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
I think the size would depend on when your patch files are cleaned-up...i.e., after each patching operation or at the end. If its at the end, you'll of course need to account to all of the space you might use in /cache.

I don't know of a good way to tell you what the high water mark would be other than testing and recording the output of a "df /cache" command at various points in your updater-script file.
[Android Apps and Games] ZduneX25:
I could do that however I don't see it universal or handy, each ota has different size so it would need more/less free space every time.

There is how Google gets this value : https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_tools/blob/kitkat/releasetools/edify_generator.py#L131 maybe you will understand better.
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
I think I understood what you meant...there's no easy way to make this universal for each OTA except to evaluate each file that might need to use space resources from the /cache partition.

Even the edify-generator git that you referenced does this dynamically:

releasetools/ota_from_target_files:

for diff in diffs:
tf, sf, d = diff.GetPatch()
if d is None or len(d) > tf.size * OPTIONS.patch_threshold:
# patch is almost as big as the file; don't bother patching
tf.AddToZip(output_zip)
verbatim_targets.append((tf.name, tf.size))
else:
common.ZipWriteStr(output_zip, "patch/" + tf.name + ".p", d)
patch_list.append((tf.name, tf, sf, tf.size, common.sha1(d).hexdigest()))
[COLOR="Red"]largest_source_size[/COLOR] = max([COLOR="red"]largest_source_size[/COLOR], sf.size)
:

:
if patch_list or updating_recovery or updating_boot:
script.[COLOR="Blue"][B]CacheFreeSpaceCheck[/B][/COLOR]([COLOR="red"]largest_source_size[/COLOR])
[Android Apps and Games] ZduneX25:
I have seen it, but here comes largest_source_size:

largest_source_size = 0

So, from my own experience so far it appears that Odin 3.x does not work in Windows 8. The app will lock up the entire operating system while flashing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
Good lord. Everyone knows that there are plenty of people (especially on internet forums) that are afraid of change, and the departure from former Windows releases scares them. If you don't like it, cool. Don't upgrade. Stop trying to convince the world not to use it. Not liking Windows 8 is a matter of opinion, not fact. I'm really disappointed that so many people cant just let it go. Stop hijacking other peoples honest attempts to solicit help to bash the product, please.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stretched:
Why doesn't Sprint allow free wifi tethering? Especially after Verizon just lost a cast for blocking aps and doing the same thing? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ethering-apps/2012/07/31/gJQAXjRLNX_blog.html
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
Probably because on Verizon you pay for a set amount of data and they are not allowed to tell you how you can use that data. Tethering will not allow you to use any more than your data cap. On Sprint the data is "unlimited" but only for use on your phone. If you want to tether you can pay extra for that feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stretched:
Anyone on here work for Sprint and know how they skirt that for sure? The kids in the store didn't know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Frostacious:
Join T-Mobile unlimited internet and tether.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
when tmobile will give me unlimited data etc.. for $40 or $35 a month (sprint sero and boost) and has the same coverage as sprint/verizon. then sure I will switch to t-mobile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
I can't speak for Sprint...though I did read that the reason Verizon got in trouble was because of a specific agreement made/rules thay came from the FCC when purchasing spectrum some time ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ghsthntr:
This is my understanding also...when they bought the (700 mhz?) spectrum from the FCC part of the agreement was that the use of that spectrum would be completely open. The FCC smacked Verizon down over those specific rules. None of the other carriers have made that agreement with the FCC in order to gain access to spectrum.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...ns-fcc-tethering-settlement-means-to-you-faq/

http://www.zdnet.com/verizon-no-free-tethering-for-unlimited-data-plan-customers-7000001987/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Based on comments from the CEO of Softbank, I doubt Sprint will ever allow wifi tethering. The SB CEO talked about cheap, unlimited data, device based subscriptions. I actually don't care if they go down that path, as long as the 'cheap' data part holds true.

Eventually the market will catch up with the reality that wireless data is just a generic, commoditized service. When the wireless companies can no longer charge ridiculous rates for 'vakue added services', we will see a real explosion of data rich devices embedded in all sorts of odd things.

Hi,

Since 2 days i'm the proud owner of a galaxy note II. Everything was great and working flawlessly. Yesterday, I got an automatic software update of the android version which I of course installed. Now I noticed the S voice isn't working anymore, impossible to wake the phone up, impossible to set the wake up command, etc (just like the phone doesn't capture any sound in S voice). I tried resetting the S voice application, clear it's data/cache from the running Apps in application manager, reset the phone completely to defaults, etc etc nothing seems to get S voice going again. Anyone knows what could be going on, this is really frustrating. All pointers are welcome.

Hello all,

in an Italian forum, while I was talking to someone, he told me that you could get hq videos (OpenMAX libs) on ICS and I did give the link.

Now I do not know if it will work on our Gio, but it is for all the soc msm7x27.

Early feedback seems positive.

These things are not the result of my work, but only a share for the developer of the Gio and jellaxy team.

I share it but if not work, ask the mod to delete the thread.

Impressive app. Allows for the control of the Xbox360 on the Android phone. Very responsive as long as you have connected the phone and your XboX on the same wifi network, otherwise it's pretty laggy. Using IE on the XboX becomes much more useful in that you can easily scroll and navigate the browser using your Android phone's keyboard and pad app that allows you to scroll horizontally and vertically. Still playing around with it.

Hi there

Hears my problem, I install a new rom today HD rev 12

The problem is that I think I had USB problem installing the boot img. Now the phone just keeps rebooting

I have tried CWM and the recovery boot option but still no good ,I have used all the CWM recovers still no good I think the problem is the boot inmg didn't load, but because I can't get the pc to see phone, error meassage mtp driver not installed I can't reload the boot img at CMD

Any help out there...

Many thanks
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
If you are having a problem with bootloop you need to reflash boot.img with the ADB tools and clear cache.

You don't need CWM for that. If you can't connect your device with USB to your pc you can try to restart your pc.

In ARHD thread everything is explained very clear, I think Mike even has a batch to flash boot.img
[HTC One X] Mike46:
Boot loop

Hi and thank you for your reply,

I have rebooted serval times and still no good, the best I ge is if I go into CWM and then my pc can see the phone as a removable drive I:

But I can go no further than that when I go into fastboot I can see error about USB master failed. So I don't where to go with this, if I can get the USB to recognise the phone it would be easy to just re install the boot img, I have unistall the USB drivers. ECT but still no good.

Also if I'm in fastboot and look in device manager I can see andriod USB devices and my HTC listed there....

hi all

here is a pic of what i get when i load into fastboot usb

Hi sorry about that

I have tried that and I even get the sound of the USB being connected but that's it, you don't see the htc drive in devices

[HTC One X] matt95:
stupid question but, have you got HTC Drivers installed? https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwkK3Wt9IXrgRm5wRGhJVVB4YjQ
[HTC One X] Mike46:
As far as I know I have I just can't get the USB to be recognised , and I cant go to CMD and load anything
[HTC One X] matt95:
try installing the htc driver posted above and let me know...
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Hi Mike,

If you get the sound USB is being connected it's ok.

Next you need a folder with the ADB Tools and place ARHD V12 boot.img into that.

I've attached the tools.

Download, unzip it and place boot.img in and connect your device in FASBOOT USB

Now open the folder.

To make it easy I've placed a CMD shortcut in it, klick on it to open the window.

Type the following:

fastboot flash boot boot.img [enter]

fastboot erase cache [enter]

That should do it, you can now reboot.

Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card

Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu>Settings>Applications>Development>
