You are not getting it. Most devs do work together and help each other. A certain dev did not play by the well established rules. It is what it is. It has happened on every forum I have been a part of. Get over it and get off you soap box. Whining is not going to change a damn thing.

Don't blame the xda websites rule's for your favorite thread being closed, blame wild for not following the rule's.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Netconn:
I disagree. This only hurts the users. Whether he "kanged" another Dev or not we have one less very good ROM being posted. I am not in any way promoting anyone stealing someone else's work but I go back to who wrote ALL the code for ALL the phones to begin with? Not the Dev's, it's the manufactures and Google. The Dev's are stealing their work and modding it, so what makes any of us / them holier than thou?

We just want some good software for our phones, and locking out anyone who contributes for FREE is not for the good of the end users. This is not a business, this is a forum where we all try to be a team player for the common good. This is not common good.

Hey guys, I am sorry for the way this post is going. I am a fan of his work but I am also new to this so when I saw that the Thread was locked, I wanted to know why....

Wild if you are out there and seeing this, I just want to say thanks!!

Now there are plenty of ROMs out there to choose from and eventually I will choose one, I may choose Wicked's or Sonic's it doesn't matter its my choice. If Wild did what most of you all are saying then that was his choice as well.

The thing is what happened happen and that between the accused and the accuser not us. Now you all have a choice, stay here and get mad at each other or move on and enjoy our freedom.....

Thank you and good night to you all!!

Thanks, been here for a while but I was using MiUI but they are having some issues with the guys from China so they might be calling it quits iBotPeaches made the announcement earlier this week that this will be his last build..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
What I'm confused about is, if its proven he kanged others work and he didn't dispute it (kinda makes someone guilty) then why back him up and not use the persons work he kanged, its obviously superior. There are so many themes available that doesn't matter anymore.

He basically stole others stuff, then put his name on it, only to further mess up those roms with daily updates of things that broke other stuff. Until that rom he stole the "cool new feature" from, broke something and it just so happened to break the some thing on his rom also... crazy coincidence? It happened on a few occasions.

This has gone way overboard (partially at my expense) but its an internet forum and a phone we all love. Once again, stay with his rom or flash one of the "superior" roms he kanged off of.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] evil1art:
Thats all good if and only if devs ask to use other devs work! I put alot of R&D and alot of tweaking into my roms like any "real" dev does! If you look at all the great developers who release there mods to the public they all ask for one thing and one thing only! Credit! or some kind of respect for the work they did! Your buddy wild never did so! He just took my work and called it his! And its alot more then just saying wicked! If he knew how to read code he would see all the changes that I made, but he cant and thats how he got caught!

I unlike alot of devs do share my mods and do help other devs out WHEN THEY ASK FOR IT!!!!!! WHEN THEY GIVE CREDIT!!!!!!

I dont care what he post on his SF! The moderators who can read code locked him down for a reason! All he has to do is ask me to use my work and they will unlock his thread! Thats all! But he is not man enough to do so! He dont care about you! He ran with his tail between his legs! If he still wants to claim that for some dumbass reason that he added "my" rom name and "just" my rom name to "his" systemui and it has none of my hidden codes in it to PROVE IT!!!!!!! I have all the proof I need! The mods have all the proof they need!

Untill you become a dev, learn to read code, spend countless hours perfecting your work and release a rom. All while working 60hrs a week and doing all your rom building and tweaking in that little time that you dont have for FREE! Just to have some slime ball take your hard work you made and call it your own! I dont care about what you have to say because you have no idea!

If you still cant get it, go buy an iphone!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marlonmccarter:
Good evening Sir, I understand what you mean about hard work into something you care about! I like most don't know how to read the codes and stuff in the ROMs and you have the proof you need.

I see that all you want is for him to ask you permission to use your stuff, well if he that would be great and if he doesn't then oh well.... I am running your ROM now just to see. I have one question, will there be any plans to add a call recorder feature in your ROM?

That's one thing I miss from MiUi, its a must for the job i do...

Thanks for all your hard work!!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chipsharpdotcom:
I am posting here because I haven't made the requisite 10 posts to get access to post to the development forum. Is there a developer that would be willing to help me here?

Wanted:

Dev assistance with a persistent sleep-lock and/or full-charge lock issue experienced with nearly all non-stock roms on a Samsung i897 with a fresh flash of CM 10. (CM 10 is not the relevant detail, this issue has happened with every non-stock-based rom based on anything newer than and including GB. (so GB/ICS/JB suffer this issue)

What are we calling sleep-lock?

Sleep-lock in this case is being defined as a spontaneous shutdown, lockup (requiring removal of battery to restart), or spontaneous restart of the Android OS. I understand that these three results may or may not be the product of the same root cause (in fact they're probably not) but I'm throwing them in the same bucket because they seem to be randomly happening when the phone is in a sleeping state.

What are we calling full-charge lock?

Full-Charge lock in this case is being defined as a spontaneous shutdown or lockup (requiring removal of battery to restart; I do not seem to suffer spontaneous restarts while on the charger). I understand that these two results may or may not be the product of the same root cause (in fact they're probably not) but I'm throwing them in the same bucket because they seem to all happen when the device is on the charger, but most often when the phone reaches or is near a full charge.

Troubleshooting done to date:

I have tried various ROMs over a long period of time, some were better than others, but they were all victims of this behavior. It doesn't seem to be device-specific (read as hardware) related but ever since DarkyRom that I tried shortly after I got this device a couple years ago, I have had this behavior. Stock ROMs do not suffer this behavior.

Who are you working with?

I am a Sr. Technical Team Leader for a Fortune 1000 VoIP software company and am well versed in troubleshooting methodology. I am somewhat newbish in the ways of logcat so I would ask for a little patience there, but am well versed in Windows, Linux, and many parts of the Android OS and flashing process including Odin, Hiem. and CWM. I'm seeking developer assistance because I am completely inept at code development.

The device that we're working with is a non-production (not relied upon for daily use) and I have no problem leaving it running with a logcat on it, or flashing any ROM you would ask for troubleshooting purposes. That said, the goal is to get the stable CM10 running without reboots or lockups.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
There are many things that can cause what we call SoD (sleep of death). First off, if you have deep idle checked on, remove that (in your ROM options).

What are the changes/mods you made after flashing CM10 (assuming stable version)?

Do you OC/UV?

And finaly, after checking for those things, there's a possible fix. It seems to have work on those who don't have a hardware issue, flashing I9000 bootloaders. The link in my sig guides you through it for the I897. (I9000 being the international version of the captivate)

If you end up going that route, I would do a clean flash. So flash stock software (KK4 no BLs) through Odin or Heimdall, flash the BLs, flash corn kernel to get root and finally flash CM10.

There are no real fix if it's a hardware issue that I'm aware of but hopefully it isn't. Also, I know you want to run CM10 on it but some people reported that running Mosaic 9 fixed their SoD problem. (It is the last I9000 ported ROM)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chipsharpdotcom:
Thanks for this information. I have read most of this information before, but I appreciate the info nonetheless.

Post install I don't do any customization in terms of OC/UV. So I'm fairly certain that's not it.

I'll run through what you've suggested here in order and see what I get. The specific order is the part that I've found unique. It may take a couple days to get back to you as my test cases involve a couple of charges/discharges, some "normal use" cases etc. I'll let you know my results.

Thank you again for your willingness to help. I'd like to maintain the usefullness of this device and I appreciate your assistance to that end.

--ChipSharp(DotCom)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
If you tried the other stuff and the I9000 bootloaders don't work, chances are that it's a hardware problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chipsharpdotcom:
I'm going to give it a try right now....I'm less inclined to buy into the hardware theory though without having these problems on the Stock ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billyjed:
Try upping the voltage/minimum clock speed. That worked for me when I was running cm9 with the glitch kernel.

Sent from my Apple IIe
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chipsharpdotcom:
Thanks for the tip...I'll try that if all of the above doesn't work. At this point, I'm all flashed up and running test cases.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chipsharpdotcom:
So none of the suggestions here (unfortunately) provided me any different results. That said, I have discovered a couple of different variables that may play a part in this.

1.) This issue only seems to come up when I have the device plugged into power only, not when I have it plugged into a computer.

2.) I think this may be related to trying to sleep while still maintaining the clock application. It seems that when I see this most often, it is when I am plugged into the wall, and I have an alarm set. I was able to be plugged into the wall overnight last week and have no problems without the alarm set, but when I set the alarm, I had the sleep-lock issue (and moreover as you would expect, my alarm did not sound).

Again, I have none of these problems with the stock ROM. I'm going to continue to test on this and hack around on it to see if I can hunt this down, but my concern is that the very things that allow me to troubleshoot are the same things that keep the device from reproducing the error.

You can subscribe to this thread if you care to continue watching the progress, or if you have any similar experiences or potential solutions, but this is one of those issues that if I don't find the root cause, it's going to drive me bat-s%#$-f&@!#%-crazy. I'm aware that even if I get to the root cause I will likely never see a fix for the problem being that this device is so old, but this is caught in my teeth now, and I'm going to have a hard time letting it go.

As always thank you all for your assistance and participation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Have you tried it with a different clock app? I mean, if I understand this correctly, it seems to be narrowed down to your current clock apk, which is different than the stock GB one. So I would suggest freezing (or unistalling) your current one with Tibu and trying a different one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chipsharpdotcom:
That's actually my next step.

I'm not sure it's accurate to say that I have it narrowed down to the clock app, I simply noted that I reproduced the issue on wall power and with the alarm set. That could all be coincidence. I need to try to reproduce those scenarios more reliably and in a more controlled method.

Do you know of an app I could install that would cause my battery to discharge fairly quickly? It would speed up my troubleshooting.

Hi all!

A friend of mine has a very serious problem - she has accidentally, by not knowing, factory reset her phone and thus she's lost her contact list and all the records she had in the Memo application.

I wonder how can I restore this information.

Of course, I can root this phone and then access its internal memory. Then I will be able to dump its internal memory completely and restore this information using any hex editor.

The problem is - to root this phone I will have to install a certain application. This application will be installed on the phone's internal memory thus some valuable information will be irreparably overwritten and lost forever.

How can I dump this phone's internal memory? Can LG's service center do that?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmvyas:
If the phone was sync'ed with Google prior to the factory reset, you'll get your contacts back by re-sync'ing ...
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdie:
No, it's never been synced or back up'ed.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaknin:
Den its pretty unfortunate to say but ur data is lost ... root doesnot work dat way .. it only pushes in a su-lib and the su-app ... so nothing in internal mem gets deleted due to it instead it gets added ... and what exactly do u want to edit in hex?? Do share woth us ... we can den only tell u if its feasable

pls hit thanks if I helped in any way

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr0yy:
I dont think LG SC would help. If the memo was in external memory.. you know what to do.

Or else you can root and try. I think System and Data are two diff internal partitions.. so rooting wont affect Data. Installing any app can overwrite things in Data.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaknin:
Good point .. rooting pushes su-binary to /bin and superuser app to /app in system and i dont think any of the vital data are stored in those locations .. so yeah its ok to root... But a factory reset does exactly what the flashing process does wipes dalvik , cache, data etc .. so my guess the datta is lost .. but ders no harm in trying

Is there anyone here who can say for sure if the internal memory is divided into two logical partitions, one containing apps binaries, the other one storing applications' data/cache/whatever?

And I don't quite get you - are you saying the even if I try to install an app which roots the phone - it can overwrite the data in Data as well?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdie:
Can anyone give me exact information on how I can access phone's internal memory directly?

What I need to do is to issue a simple command, something like:

dd if=/dev/phone_memory_device of=/mnt/SDCARD/phone_memory.img

in whatever shell which has direct access to the phone.

I've found some very interesting instructions here: android.stackexchange .com /questions/25948/recover-deleted-content-from-userdata-partition but I've no idea how to follow them since I have a stock unrooted ROM with no apps installed.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaknin:
No not actually .. it has a folder named /sys ... dat keeps all firmware etc ... other folders in the internal mem are fr things like binaries , databases etc ... the folder /system has the user data like apps in internal storage , cache etc ... so summarizing /system is the only folder u have internal data in ... Can u share with us what u are planning to do??

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syd_M:
My suggestion would be to connect the phone to the PC via usb cable and use ADB to access the shell. Of course, this assumes you've already rooted the phone. Also, many of the common terminal commands aren't even available on Android by default, so the first thing you'll need to do after rooting would be to install and run busybox (you can get an installer from the Market). I don't know if cat or dd are installed with the Android busybox, but there's probably a way to get them if they aren't. If you've rooted and have busybox installed, you can just use ADB to manage your phone almost like a Linux box.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scholbert:
Hi janjala,

no need to post your issue several times.

Somtimes we need a little bit time to answer :p

As already stated here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2013366

1. There's a hardware issue with the USB host port flex cable inside your device.

If your device is affected by such a damage, the problem could not be fixed by software.

Doesn't matter which firmware you run on your tablet, USB devices won't connect anymore.

2. If it's 4.0.26 related you'll need to wait for the next update to get it fixed hopefully.

Though i never heard reports about non working USB host ports with 4.0.26 firmware.

Something general:

If the stick is not activated or recognized during boot the tablet's firmware will always report baseband unknown.

The unknown bootloader revision is a normal behaviour as well.

The first string is always reporting unknown, no need to worry here.

Just for your information:

I fiddled around with the 3G stick (disassembled the stick, made tests with QPST...).

After a while i put it back into the tablet's slot and all of a sudden it stopped working.

First i thought i damaged the 3G stick... then i found out that i'm also affected by the flex cable damage.

The flex cable seems to be not the best construction.

I guess i need to open my tablet again :silly:

There'd been many reports about that, please try to search the forum for details or send your device to Archos.

Regards,

scholbert

I was able to operate the device fine. Then I did an OTA update. I wasn't able to complete the update cause I needed more battery. So I re booted and now I'm getting this screen.

Download a rom and put it on ur sd card. Take battery out then back in. Hold down power button and volume key down. It'll take u into recovery mode. Do a wipe and flash rom.
