ROM

It is replacement firmware that your phone is running. It usually offers cool features not found in the manufactures firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] carlyle69:
Something like an Operating System for androids.

"Read-Only Memory" if Im not mistaken, its memory that cannot be changed but only processed or read by your device.
[General Questions and Answers] xx jobu xx:
That's more in reference to a PC not a phone.
[General Questions and Answers] carlyle69:
The ROM bit is more for PC yes.

Roms are basically operating systems for our androids. Its actually not ROM, but EPROM - Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
[General Questions and Answers] dragonslayer8724:
Rom = read only memory

In other words if you flash a Rom onto your phone, your practically loading another OS onto it. EI: android 2.2, 2.3, 3.0, 4.0, 4.1

query

is there a difference between "ROM" and "platform"?
[General Questions and Answers] carlyle69:
To be very honest with you, im not really sure but my understanding is that a platform would be symbian, android, windows mobile or iOS. Where the Rom is the operating system of these platforms, thats if their operating systems are called roms.

I hope you understand this.

It might not be correct, its only how i understand it.
[General Questions and Answers] Ghostfreak NB:
Yea you're right...mate

android symbian etc are platforms whereas ROM can be anything..that works as the Os for your phone

Roms may be customised to your wish

Whereas platforms can't be changed...if I'm not mistaken

Sorry but I want to understand something more, but in practice when you compile a rom what is being done ??:confused:

Can i use the Board from the Gratia in my HTC HD MINI (Photoon)

To Boot the Android from Gratia over the Screen from the HTC HD MINI?
[HD Mini General] Tim35p07:
nobody has an idea?
[HD Mini General] MobileMini:
There are a lot of similarities between the HD Mini and Gratia, but I doubt if you can get away with a board swap. There are at least some differences between both phones, for example the use of the battery, the buttons below the screen... and there is probably more.

I am no expert, so to be sure ask an expert such as Schlund or Munjeni :).
[HD Mini General] iPlasm:
you should ask who knows about Hardware boards....

sorry to answer late, but seems no one knows about that greatly.

[Motorola Atrix 2] tcf38012:
Hello,

I opened up my Atrix 2 and removed the EMI shields so I could see what was really inside. After that it didn't boot up. Did I crack the eFuse chip or something? Yes I can connect it through USB as the CPU debug mode. But it doesn't boot up? And I know it isn't the battery because I hooked it up for 15 minutes to the wall with a charger with an indicator light and it still doesn't work.

Any input would be appreciated,

Thanks in advanced,

TCF38012
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You did not trip the efuse (that is only done by an electrical signal sent from the CPU itself). What you most likely did was trip a sensor when you removed the EMI sheild, that is a big no-no.. Since it is a sensor that is tripped, you can probably see the phone through USB in CPU debug. You do not have a true hardbrick. You might be able to find a new EMI shield sensor and replace it, but no guarantees that will fix it. I have seen in the past with this type of thing that this is done on purpose, so that the company knows you pulled it apart, and will not replace the phone for you, and why sometimes replacing the sensor does not fix the issue.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tcf38012:
Thanks,

What will happen if i remove the sensor?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Exactly the issue you already have, it is a required part of the circuit chain.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tcf38012:
Where is it located?

I can't find it :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You won't find it, it is on the board itself, once the shield is removed, that is it, the link is broken. That is why I recommended getting a phone on ebay with a broken screen and just replacing the whole board with the emi shield still in place, and using your screen and digitizer. Motorola make these things a one shot disassemble. Think more like a grounding link to the board with a conductive gel and once the link it broken that "gel" is gone, and no more circuit for that sensor on the board to pick it up and that link to the board is permanently severed. There is a board mapping on the internet some place that shows all this, at one time it cost 1000 bucks for moto to allow the download, but I have seen people put out there, so.... you might have to dig for it, to get the exact points that you will have to re-patch, but be careful, it is not meant to be re-linked, and you can completely fry the thing if you miss or hit another point on the board.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tcf38012:
OK,

I think it is kind of working now. After lots of useless bids on ebay and trying to order a new motherboard. I maybe finally fixed it by just simply putting some back on without superglue or anything and trying it from there.

Right now its just charging with the white LED. If you have the battery in and plug it up via usb, then it will turn on if its just charging. I just need to solder or whatever them back on to be more permenant ;).

thanks everybody,

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lastspartan09:
We all know that when having auto sync enabled it is not so kind to our battery's life when we are on the go killing it quicker than expected.

I would like to know if our applications are able to sync normally without enabling auto sync such as mail, etc due to the fact thst they have updating options.

Personally, I doubt that this is possible due to the fact that I have testes this with my built in mail app from one of the sense roms and without it enabled or personally opening the app my emails did not come through. Hopefully I am wrong about this

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreakyFreakGA:
Okay, I have yet to get mine, but will in a day or two (the Nexus 7) lol. I wanted to know if I installed TiBuPro on my N7, and needed to do a full wipe/factory reset or whatever when I am installing a custom ROM, will the TiBuPro backup be deleted since the backups will be stored on the internal storage since there is no external SD slot? I use TiBuPro on my One V just fine since it has an external SD card, but was worried if I follow steps to flashing custom ROM's and such, since the storage is internal, and wipes wipe everything if I will lose my backups?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
That's a damn good question Freak, to be on the safe side I would just do the backup and then drag & drop the sdcard/TitanuimBackup folder to a computer.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
Once you understand the way nexus 7 works with storage you will understand more. Im not best person to explain. so .

As long as you do not format or delete /data/media your ti backup goo manager files roms and everything else there will still remain.. The cwm/ twrp skip erasing these directories (fake sd card so to speak) . I have installed many roms with few issues..

You can also use otg storage. Go into ti backup and set the default backup folder on a otg device.. same with twrp backup files.. Just plug in the device before you run either of the programs . with twrp to use otg for me anyway.. you have to boot into recovery . plug in the device reboot recovery and it will show up...

SO Simple answer is yes you can use TI BACKUP Just fine .. just know what to not format in recovery..

Welcome, zo1d, and thanks for your continuing this project.

I am looking forward very much to try out this on my HD2.

I believe the continued work on booting Linux desktop OS on our device is the next wave of exciting breakthroughs. This is the only way our HD2 already can successfully output to a monitor through USB to VGA/DVI cable, so I always am excited on any advancements on this front.

If shipping to US is feasible, I can upload it rapidly, it would be my pleasure to help.

Thanks again for this - the screenshot looks awesome, keep the fight going.

[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] zo1d:
Why porting ? its already ARM compiled, but the problem is that the kernel i currently use (2.6.32.15)

is too old and misses the msm/qsd x.org driver. so without a fresh baked kernel i dont see reason to play around with 12.04..

I already got Ubuntu 11.4 working but there will never be a proper touschscreen input in landscape mode because

of a bug in the xinput version, the swap.axis option will not work.

btw. anyone using a kernel with sources/patches from here: git.tiamat-dev.com/htc-kernel-msm8x50 ?

Whats about putting it on on sourceforge to make it easier for others to continue the project.

The current wifi firmware isnt open source so it has to be copied to sd-card and would be copied

into the system via script.

Another option would be bcmon.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

but i couldnt get wicd working properly with it maybe someone can recompile it with a older

version of gcc.

The touchscreen is configured to act relative and not absolute, this is to avoid having the thumb over the pointer and makes the navigation in small menus much easier and faster.

New are the MediaPlayer Controls in the Panel, and the Hardware Controls in the Menubar

Request for USBNet.

Thanks a lot for this job, Zo1d.

I wanna request, if possible, the inclussion of the module that allows connecting a USB Ethernet adapter (I think its name is "USBNet"); another Ubuntu versions I found for HD2 did not have it :( .

I think it would be useful, since my HTC would become nearly a minibarebone.

Thanks.

I just cant test it atm (still need to build or buy the "usb-out" cable, but good idea ! i have a usb2eth dongle here, RTL8150 so maybe looking next weeks for the adapter and a powered usb-hub). If it doesn't has to be implemented into the kernel, it shouldn't be a problem to integrate it in this build but as i said i cannot test it. Upload it somewhere and/or send me the link and i do my best.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Sopalajo de Arrierez:

Needs a kernel object.. found it here http://git.tiamat-dev.com/htc-kernel-msm8x50/tree/drivers/net/usb?h=android-msm-2.6.32-increciblec

Small update:

x11vnc is functional, found some workarounds for shmget error and missing vnc kernel module...

The current integration of the Pentest tools is on a good way. All stuff is copied out of the pwnpi

distri (so the dirty work is mostly done...) Testing and integrate them into the menu is about 10%

done, I decided to keep all the bluetooth tools and aircrack-ng in the hope that monitor mode, packet

injection and bluetooth will work one day. I saw that the slackware linux for HTC HD has bluetooth in a working

state, so maybe hopkinskong can pass me his bluez or bluetoothd config. would be very nice to have

a externel keyboard & mouse without cables :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Sopalajo de Arrierez:
Nice :) .

I suggest then some support for USB WiFi devices. Ubuntu and BackTrack have a fantastic support for them. It would be a great addon for monitor mode (you know, external antenna WiFi devices change the game completely, and packet injection increases with some chips like RTL8187L).

[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] antonizoon:
I am currently working on a stable, easy-to-use Debian/Ubuntu buildsystem for developers. I would like your input and am interested in your implementation; perhaps we could merge.

You can find it here: https://github.com/treeofsephiroth/debian-hd2-buildsystem

Rather than reinventing the wheel each time we want a decent build, I am creating an easy-to-use, unified "kitchen" so that any dev can pick it up, edit a few packages or change a few repos, and get a new build.

I also hope that you will open-source your build. As you know, Linux on HD2 has never been healthy, with devs lighting up for a few months and disappearing. If there are no sources, nobody can pick up where they left off or make improvements. Hopefully you could break the trend (and provide something to look at while we wait for your build to be uploaded!)
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] zo1d:
Hey antonizoon

Of course, beside wifi firmware everything is...

..but I hope you know that this part of your project here is not opensource (as far as i know):

https://github.com/treeofsephiroth/...ea3b598d4a39593e5/rootfs-overlay/lib/firmware

Why not ? I have a lot more to do and i hope that after some updates someone else will continue the work,

as i done from dcordes as he done from someone else, thats the way it goes, I am not even a good programmer

more a older script kiddy..

its just some scripts written by bardzuny together with a minimal config, cant see improvements

I don't see something usable for the project, solve some actual Problems

and i would like to merge whatever you want xD

anyway best wishes for your project
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] antonizoon:
Hey there. Yes, I am using the same base as bardzuny (as an example), but the improvements are in the methodology.

My idea is that people use and work on a single Debian/Ubuntu buildsystem, rather than work on many different ones. That way, when someone wants to create a new build, they don't have to find a new method; they just create a build using something that is known to be stable and usable, rather than making a new method each time.

Also, I use a "profile" methodology, which I loved from ArchISO. Basically, we can have the same scripts create different systems, without having to edit things by hand. That way, a new build is little more than a folder, that can be created with one command.

If you want to see the power of the profile-based buildsystem in action, I request to see your own buildscripts, so I can make a profile that builds your system. How are you creating this build, anyway? By modding it by hand? Hopefully you recorded your changes...

> ..but I hope you know that this part of your project here is not opensource (as far as i know):

Thanks for the tip. Do you know any alternatives, though?

> Why not ? I have a lot more to do and i hope that after some updates someone else will continue the work,

as i done from dcordes as he done from someone else, thats the way it goes, I am not even a good programmer

more a older script kiddy..

This is the point I'm making. If devs just go away without leaving sources, all their work is for naught, since nobody can continue it.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] zo1d:
