[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k1mu:
Let's see if I can give a more comprehensive answer to this.

The term "firmware" is used to describe a piece of software that is stored in read-only memory which sticks around even if the device is powered off. The firmware is there when you power on the device so it can get it kick-started: reading the operating system from internal storage, etc.

One key component to your device is the hardware that talks to the networks, be they WiFi, CDMA, 4G, whatever. That hardware has associated firmware that controls how the hardware talks to the various networks. That specific firmware is often called the "Radio" or the "Modem". That firmware is stored on a dedicated partition of your phone's internal storage, allowing you to update just the "Radio" bits.

The kernel is the base operating system. Think of it like DOS on a PC: the kernel controls the system and includes drivers that talk to the display, touchscreen, radio, and other components. Like DOS, the kernel doesn't really provide much of a user interface, so you run Windows on top of that.

On Android devices, the kernel is Linux. You then run the Android User Interface (UI) bits on top of that, using the kernel to control access to the phone. The kernel is also firmware that's stored on a different dedicated partition of your phone's storage.

The kernel contains the drivers that allow access to the device-specific hardware in your phone. It also provides hooks for the Android system to control that hardware. You've got to have a kernel that's compatible with whatever version of Android you're trying to run; that's why devs need access to kernel source since that gives them the drivers that Android expects.

I use my phone to listen to Audible plugged into my cars receiver, and every time I plug in the headphone jack there I have to turn the volume up to MAX because presumably it decreases it as soon as I plug it in and gives me this annoying warning about listening for too long at max volume. Anyone know how to prevent it from auto decreasing this on plug in? Or are there any ROMs that have fixed this annoyance?

Hi, everyone! Few days ago i cracked the glass of my smartphone. :( The touchscreen is still working without any problems, i just have a cracked line over the display. Does anyone know where i can find a replacement screen for my acer liquid e320? I have search all over the internet, ebay, and all other webpages, i just can't find it... :( Btw, im from Latvia, went to local service center, they were surprised that acer makes smartphones, they have never heard of them.

Some developers recommend using cwm to flash ics or jb roms others put tw recoveries out there. What's the difference? I want to flash a jb rom but most say use el26 cwm to flash. I am currently on agats recovery want to know which jb roms i could flash using this recovery?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] explosivequack:
I don't recommend using agats to flash jellybean, some people have bricked that way. For jellybean i always go back to el26.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
I always use the el26/cwm tar (along with mobile Odin) to flash ROMs (and also gapps, if so required)... it's really not much of a hassle, and I sleep easier. I only use the included recoveries to flash mods, themes, etc.

Agat's kernels/recoveries are considered "safe", but I've seen (here in the forums) a few people hard brick their e4gt's using it to flash to JB (specifically, aokp, if I'm remembering correctly). While there might not be there many instances, it has happened.

So personally, I'd rather just spend the extra 15 seconds it takes to open up mobile Odin and flash the el26 kernel/cwm tar every time. You can keep the el26 tar on your SD card and make a backup of mobile Odin with Titanium Backup and restore the app (with data) to save yourself a little hassle when you decide to change ROMs again.

I might have forgot to remove them :o. So Gapps are probably in this build, ill check on that soon.

Ha alright sounds good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zombioptic:
I'll tell you what though... this thing flies just fine, man! Good job! Kinda crazy, us toro+ users waited so long for a Ras ROM, and just like that we have two! Awesome sauce!

I was following your convo with dreams in the developers section, and I'm guessing that you're looking to add theme chooser. If you are: That. Is. Awesome.

I think if I could get Rasbean with their chooser and Paranoid Android's PA settings, I'd never switch ROMS again. (Who am I kidding...? OF COURSE I would switch ROMS again, but I'd definitely have a backup ready to restore at all times!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
Im working on it, once I get the theme chooser included i can look into the PA settings, ive never actually used paranoid android. My goal is to keep the battery life on this rom insane and have it fly like now, so if I feel something hinders that (even the theme chooser) ill probably remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v3rk:
If your concern is battery and performance, why not simply port rascarlo's work straight over? That's what his builds are all about and fiddling with it will certainly have unwanted effects. Just saying.

There are a thousand and one roms with theme chooser and I never use them because they can't match the performance of roms without it for me. I don't think it's coincidence or placebo. Keep in mind that rascarlo hand codes all his mods instead of just throwing them in there and seeing if they will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
Right now I am porting over his current work. I believe that I will be able to keep the battery and performance with any features i do add because I am also going to hand code every thing in as I learn. I do have to agree with you, rascarlo's work is the best rom i've seen and thats why I scrapped my pure aosp rom and started using his as a base. Either way, im going to enjoy the ride of learning all of this and providing a ROM worth running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Hm, going to give this one a try with an open mind. Good work bro, It's cool to see such an enthusiastic attitude about learning and stuff. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
I have found a couple issues since removing the built in gapps, so if you hold off there will be an update tonight/tomorrow probably.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommy0823:
Über rasbean rom is directly from rascarlos source. He didn't change anything. All he did was add the necessary files to make it work for the toroplus. The port was already done. So this would just be a copy of übers port?

Edit: I'm not trying to be a ****, I just don't understand the difference between the two roms. Sorry for any confusion.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Alright, I'll wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v3rk:
not so, he put the 4.2 gallery/camera in to fix fc issues. this rom was untouched and worked right off the bat. not trying to dis uber his work is great, but i long for pure experiences that the toro and maguro users take for granted and it seems sprint devs/porters like to change things up. which is fine, it's their prerogative and for the sake of the community i'm glad they share it with us. just kind of drives home how disappointed i am for choosing sprint two years ago. i can't wait for the unlocked nexus 4 i'm getting this december when my contract is up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
My panaramic FC"s now also after removing the built in gapps. I know the fix but I also fould a "leaked" 4.2 gapps that has the fix included but wasnt in the 4.1.2 gapps so im not sure if I should put it back in the rom manually or give you guys/girls a link to the leaked 4.2 gapps and hope the official 4.2 gapps still has it included??? What does everyone think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Ahem lemme clarify.

I did not put 4.2 camera and gallery to fix force closes. The force closes were caused from the previous gallery I had was broken. Added another to my vendor let it build and swapped it with the new camera cuz I like it better. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killersloth:
Why not just use the gapps that are included in rascarlo's vendor repo?

I am not seeing the logic of removing them from the ROM after it is built and breaking certain functions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
Gapps are not supposed to be included in, and yes I know nothing would probably happen to me legally if I just left them in. So far the only thing I have found that was BROKE by removing them was the panaramic camera, and that can be fixed by including 1 lib file if future gapps dont include it, but the leaked 4.2 gapps had the lib file in it. The other issue im having is the camera lockscreen shortcut breaks itself if you add more shortcuts to the lockscreen. Its a simple as resetting it but Im trying to figure out why its happening and I dont believe it has to do with the gapps, but I am going to build a copy of his with the gapps left in and see if its still an issue.

On a side note, can we PLEASE not bring up Ubers rasbean port unless its about a bug we are both having or he brings it up in this thread. His port uses different vendor files so, even if I were to leave this pure rasbean, it would still not be a port of Ubers rasbean port. They may be very similar right now but that should change, and there is no reason to have any drama caused over our ports.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
New build is running, will post tomorrow :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bfitz26:
do you plan on incoperating theme chooser in this? thought about adding it to uber's rom for myself but keep getting side tracked with this little thing called "life"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
Yeah, I plan on adding theme chooser, with 4.2 comming out in like a week or so im holding off on adding anything until then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
Okay I read the complete thread. I'm still confused why we have now two ports of Rasbean after going so long without one? I thought it was great ÜBER got permission to port it to Toroplus and now we have two ports? Not complaining but in reading the OP it was like a copy and paste of ÜBER's OP? I thought there where rules in XDA about this, and two threads being so much alike?

If the OP here is planning on deviating from the original build why make the OP and everything so much like the one which already exists?

Just very curious?

*Step Away From The Toolkit And NoROM Gets Hurt*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zombioptic:
Blackbelt is planing on adding a lot to his port. Theme chooser, more CM/AOKP stuff, etc. He's more using Rasbean as a base to build off of than porting, but he is still learning, and so has much to figure out, and it's taking a bit.

Üuber has no intentions of changing Rasbean in any way outside if providing flashables and theming. His port will stay pure Rasbean. Lean. Fast. Smooth. He actually explained it much better himself in his thread.

Anyway, expect blackbelt's op to change as he adds new features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bfitz26:
this rom is more like a kang of rasbean aokp cm and other aosp rom's
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
Pretty much this, but there have been so many questions "why are they the same blah blah blah" that Im holding off on releasing anything until the 4.2 code is out and I have added new features that arent in Ubers port. Had I known it was going to cause so many questions or thought about 4.2 comming out soon, I probably wouldnt have created a thread yet, lesson learned.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Hi, I've seen this around a bit and just wanted a little bit more information, if any one has it.

Basically, a few weeks ago, I had a random shutdown, and had to do the 30 sec+ powerhold to boot it back up (NOT NORMAL FOR MY DEVICE USUALLY AROUND 3/5 Seconds ! )

I only knew to do that because of XDA so +1 there people !

Then, a couple of nights ago, was browsing around Chrome etc, and BOOM first CRASH EVER ! with my nexus devices, and to be honest, I thought crashes were a thing of the past/desktop laptop specific, as my HOX has never crashed. I WAS GUTTED

So I did the power thing, and it booted.

Again last night, another crash and shutdown, then 30 sec + power hold to boot again.

Basically, I want to know is this a sign of a deteriating device? Is there a known cause? Should I be worried?

Is there anything specific I could have on my tablet causing it?

I have over 10GB space still left on my 16GB device, as I'm rather a ****** when it comes to filling devices (i tend not to download much, other than REALLY useful apps TO ME ! like XDA, Flipboard and a few random games.

Any information would deeply be appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adstraylight:
I had this for a while, and discovered the cause was that I'd disconnected the ground pin on my Wifi antenna in order to stop low screen brightness flicker. Removing the bit of tape stopped the reboots.

If you haven't done this mod, then I'd suggest it may be to do with weak wifi signal? Maybe the spring pins aren't making solid contact with the antenna?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Nah I havent even touched my Nexus 7 in that way.

Its not been opened or tampered with

And if your being serious about a dodgey wifi antenna spring within the Nexus 7 im gonna end up killing someone, as my HOX has the Wifi antenna fault to.!!! :mad:

Can I just ask, how would a weak wifi signal cause the unit to crash and reboot?

THANKS!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adstraylight:
It was just a thought based on my experience of effectively semi disabling the antenna, I've no specific knowledge to tie a crash to wifi signal strength, so pure conjecture.

Perhaps an intermittent connection confuses the logic and crashes the device?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Hi, dya know mate I've just thought of something and you could be on to something, not necessarily a weak signal, but Im sure its network based, as the second time round (cant remember what I was doing first time) I was switching between browsers, Incognito etc.(Opera/Google)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfeick:
I see this all the time

I'm seeing this on both my Nexus 7, and my Galaxy Nexus. A friend of mine is seeing it on her phone as well (I forget the model, but different than mine and also running Jellybean).

It seems to happen when I have poor wifi (e.g. the wifi meter on the N7 switches from blue to grey). The typical behavior is that some app mostly locks up. At first, the soft menu buttons still give feedback that they've been pushed, but don't do anything. The device can usually be turned off with a tap of the power button, but won't come back on again with a second tap.

After a delay, the device will display the multicolored "X" that indicates it's rebooting.

This happens 2 - 6 times per day on each of my devices right now. It's *very* frustrating.

I've been thinking of doing a factor reset to see if that helps, but haven't yet.

Any other suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoWhy:
Hi,

I doubt that I'm the first one to think about this but I couldn't find anything useful trying to search for it, so here is what I'm looking for:

Is there an app that I can use to share a number of apps I installed on a webpage including QR-codes, GPlay-links, short descriptions etc.? The apps I know of mostly share text only and/or links but none I found allow me to generate a webpage (or use a site for this) which has all the info in a neat, organized way so that my friends can read the descriptions and decide which apps to download from there.

AppBrain's API has an app widget that would be somewhat fitting but 1) there is no app to automatically create those based on a list of apps on your phone and 2) it requires people to use AppBrain, which some people don't like.

Basically, I'd like to have it created automatically and look like the ones used by Android Police (but with links to Play-Store only and no need for ratings)

Anyone know an app like that?

TIA

I'm still looking for an app that could do this though but for now this is better than nothing :)
