[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nology81:
When I turned on my phone today I noticed that the Google watermark was burned onto the screen. It was not of the same image quality you see when you first boot your phone, but I could see it faintly. Thinking I was crazy I asked my girlfriend if she could she it. She could.

If you've ever walked into an AT&T and saw how the Lumia 800's had the windows tiles on their phones, this is what I am talking about but to a lesser degree.

I turned the phone off and then back on. Then gone. Tonight, I wanted to see if it would come back. It came back!! Rebooted, now gone.

Anyone else had this issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] very.goot:
My Nexus S does something similar. It burns in the Cyanogenmod starting logo, then goes away after a while. It's pretty faint.

My Nexus 4, however, does not do that.

[HTC Droid DNA] tbns:
Is there really no manufacturer warranty for this type of thing? I would hope so.
[HTC Droid DNA] knokfirst:
There is a one test manufacture warranty and they have to replace it for free because it's a manufacturing defect.
[HTC Droid DNA] ballisticn8:
VZW normally has a one year standard warranty against manufacturing defects, replacement will be a clnr if they have them, new if they dont, at $0.00 cost. Only time deductible applies is for abuse (broken phone, dropped cracked screen, water damaged) and lost/stolen phones.
[HTC Droid DNA] kdubcr250:
Went to the Verizon store and they replaced.the phone in store.free of charge !
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
new phone right?
[HTC Droid DNA] kdubcr250:
Yes brand new phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] hkbladelawhk:
Lol. Think they would do this with an unlocked rooted phone?
[XDA-University] lesfauves:
Hi,

First of all thank you so much for starting a forum for learning the Android Development.

I am very much interested in learning android, and i have gone through the official android developers site, and downloaded the SDK.

But i am stuck there, coz i am very new to the Linux/Unix part. I would like to learn more about that, but i do not want to learn programming unless it's necessary. I know it will take a long long time to learn that. So can anyone help me with the app development or fixing/understanding ROM/Kernels.

Sorry if i am being too much jumpy in the starting itself, It's because i do not know where/how to start.

Thanks,

Les
[XDA-University] pulser_g2:
Unfortunately without learning programming, you will find it difficult to do any app development and kernel understanding or fixing.

Programming is key to both of these. So although you don't want to, have a look at some of the resources out there on how to learn to program.

Apps are written in java, kernel code is mostly C.

Maybe this helps? I think failing to start by learning to program will just leave you disappointed.
[XDA-University] sgt. meow:
If it's okay, I'd like to suggest something.

@lesfauves

For kernel development, you really need to learn C, C+, C++ etc. C is the most important language here. However if you're gonna build vanilla kernels (with no modifications whatsoever), a simple guide should do it. Modifying source code requires knowledge of C (and maybe some other languages) as pulser_g2 has said.

For app development, you need to know the basics of Java. It's a must. Otherwise you'll end up getting nowhere.

For ROMs, you need to have a good understanding of both Java and C (and some other languages).

You can learn these online. I'm learning C myself. It's really easy.

Hope I helped.

[XDA-University] steelers_exe:
I too want to learn android development, just dont know where to start. Been waiting for xda university to open up for this very purpose. now I went through the site and still have a couple questions. I see that learning C is fundamental, where would you guys suggest would be the best place to learn? i was hoping for something like codeacademy, they dont have C though. Also, which distribution of linux would you guys suggest to install?
[XDA-University] mikereidis:
If you just want to dive in, and have fun creating small Android apps, learning Android concepts as you go, I highly recommend MIT App Inventor (AI): http://appinventor.mit.edu/ . It used to be Google AI but Google wanted to focus on other things.

I have decades of experience in Unix & Linux low level mostly C software development, but was new to Android & Java in Feb. 2011. App Inventor was a great intro to Android concepts, but it seems almost impossible to make commercial quality apps of any size with it.

So after a few months I dove into Java with the Android SDK & the concepts I learned with AI transferred well.

If you want to run Linux on your PC, which is a great way to learn Linux in general, Ubuntu remains quite popular, but a lot of us techy types have moved to Mint. I'm still on Ubuntu but will likely try Mint at some point.

The original and seminal book on C language is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language . It was a great intro for me back in the 1980's. But many C++ people will tell you learning C first may mess you up for C++. I never really caught on to C++ and don't care now as Java is IMO better.

This is the seminal book for C++: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C++_Programming_Language

In general I think C is better for kernel and low level Android NDK stuff; C is the language of the kernel. For higher level Java of course, using Eclipse as an IDE since it still is the most widely used IDE I think.

[XDA-University] pikachukaki:
I wanted to to help my phone community and my self of course...from where you can learn c online??i know my way with pc i make some roms from my community but i need to start learning to compile from source!!! share your links if you can thanks!! :)
[XDA-University] T3CH9ICIAN:
Lynda.com

A great site that I use to learn with for web design and development is Lynda.com which has a good amount of C tutorials and learning. It isn't free but a subscription is worth the site. There is a huge amount of information, tutorials, and learning that can be done there.
[XDA-University] mingolianbeef:
Go look at my post in this forum section.! May help you :)
[XDA-University] pikachukaki:
Thats great but remember that i study pc hardware and i dont have none of programming knowlage at all!!!i once try to learn basic but i get bored cause i dont needed then :P
[XDA-University] mingolianbeef:
Aaaaaah gotcha :D
[XDA-University] percy_g2:
Search for newboston.org in Google it has tutorial + forums for every language + android app development too must see website for me! Enjoy development :p
[XDA-University] pikachukaki:
Ok lets say i want to learn how to make a device tree for my device cause noone make it...then compile aosp or cm and make it a usable rom for a device...to go to a bookstore to buy a book in my language to remove the possibility of wrong learning...what book to buy??java, c , c++??
[XDA-University] ronilzizou:
This is a great idea, and as i have just started learning C at university (And Java next year woo!) i will be visiting this alot for reference and tutorials. I still find C hard to get grips with but i do have a basic understanding of it. I also like messing around with kernel's and stuff on android and really want to make my own ROM or kernel soon!

So thanks XDA and everyone involved in this :D!
[XDA-University] shimp208:
If you want to learn how to make a device tree check outthis guide, then when your ready to try compiling AOSP and Cyanogenmod check out this guide. If you want to learn to compile ROM's and then I would recommend a book on Linux and C for programming kernels such as C All-in-One Desk Reference. On the other hand if you want to program applications a good Java book is important and I would recommend Head First Java. Hope this clears things up, let me know if you still have questions.
[XDA-University] pikachukaki:
My point is basically to learn how to create the device tree and then compile any rom i can and hope that i can use fixes from others and hints from others...im not really interesting of making an application!! :)
[XDA-University] mithun46:
can read my guide here
[XDA-University] pulser_g2:
Please stop spamming your link across each thread. And tone down the MASSIVE text in the thread - it just looks unprofessional.

Are there any features, or this just bone stock with root?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Currently, it's bare source-compiled AOSP with root. I'll be adding more as we go. ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] unomedmen1:
Cool, thanks man.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dirtbikerr450:
Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iiro:
Can you tell us what you're thinking of adding?

It always sucks settling on a ROM which then becomes bloated/themed in a future update.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Well currently, it's stock rooted AOSP, as you can tell. I've been thinking about what to do with this ROM, and depending on user preference and if people prefer the stock experience or not, I'll either add more to this or maintain a stock AOSP build and make another ROM with more features.

The point I'm trying to make is, speak up! Let me know what you do and don't like, and I'll take it into consideration.

Right now, I'll probably be adding a couple more things to enhance the experience, like a extended power menu with recovery and boot loader reboot options. Let me know what you think!

:)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MrGarak:
Thanks. I like it this way, it's nice to have one that's just compiled from source with root.:) Good job :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] azoller1:
I'd want user init.d support without any tweaks and let people choose what they want, I love light, clean ROMs like this good job
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kushasaurus:
Running smoothly on m-kernel. Battery life is most important in my book, stock has always given me that so thanks for this. I think it would benefit from minor tweaks, ie WiFi single click toggle in quick settings, expanded reboot menu and init.d support, but I like it minimal.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Good to hear guys! Once I fix the driver issues I'll be adding these features. I'm glad you like the ROM. :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MrGarak:
Should rotation/camera be working yet? These are the only two issues I have on v0.2. Thanks again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Yeah, that's what I'm working on for v0.3 right now. Sorry it's taking so long, I've been pretty busy. Should have a release here today or tomorrow. Thanks for your patience! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Working on building a new release now with fixed camera and rotation. If everything goes as planned, I should be uploading this build sometime tonight or early tomorrow!

Thanks for your patience!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iiro:
When I flashed this and the gapps from Goo.im, I was missing the email.apk and the exhange services apk. I think those are supposed to be in the AOSP apps.

Hey guys, a minor update. I've been sick with the flu for a while now, just finally got over it. Working on porting over the Quick Settings Toggles when I have free time, sorry it's taking so long. Biggest new feature is the source code is now based off android-4.2.1_r1.2.

Let me know what you think!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, I flashed your ROM after flashing factory images (was never happy about the performance) and need to say this is the best I had since you also have the nice quick toggles mod. Good job and thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, after a few days I just found that the "gesture typing" is not working for me. Anybody else having this problem?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Re: [ROM][AOSP][4.2.2][WiFi][JDQ39] SomethingJelly - v0.9.9 - 02/14/13

Which gapps package did you flash?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, good point I never thought of. I still had the gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip on my harddrive and used those. I could download the ones from your link in the OP and try since you talked about working gesture keyboard. Stupid question, shouldn't it also work with the normal gapps-jb-20121212. I always used that one (also on my GNex)... :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Re: [ROM][AOSP][4.2.2][WiFi][JDQ39] SomethingJelly - v0.9.9 - 02/14/13

Depends if the ROM has it baked in or not, stock AOSP doesn't come with the gesture keyboard, hence why its in the gapps package. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MrGarak:
Thanks something.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
New build up! Everything hosted on goo.im now :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hello, thanks for this build. I am back but this time not complaining. All works so far. One thing, how can I get to the SIP phone support you mentioned in the feature list? Thanks and again, very nice, lean and fast ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
I just added support via a device-specific overlay, but to take advantage of it I think you just use an app like Sipdroid or the like. Hope that makes sense! Let me know if it doesn't
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GeyerA:
Re: [ROM][AOSP][4.2.2][WiFi][JDQ39] SomethingExplosive - v1.0.0 - 02/27/13

Hi. Yes does make sense. I spent the afternoon decompiling the framework-res.apk to enable in the bool.xml the voice call ability. I managed that the phone apk was showing up after boot but could not enter the SIP settings. Right now i use SIP simple but like the ideas of using the phone app. I will make some 1% battery mods for your ROM tomorrow. Thanks again for the ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GeyerA:
1% Battery

Hi all, in case you like 1% battery (also changed the xml) here the SystemUI's. I made a 27 (original size) and 38px (oversized) version. Just rename to SystemUI.apk and push it to /system/app/

Hope you are enjoying (and do not forget to hit thanks) - nice Sunday :)

Re: [ROM][AOSP][4.2.2][WiFi][JDQ39] SomethingExplosive - v1.0.0 - 02/27/13

[Nexus 7 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hello, absolutely. Just let me know what you need. I usually keep the folder with the single files after I complied with apktool. Let me know and I will email it to you (or post here). :)

BTW, Daddy also needs some candy so maybe you borrow me a "thanks button" in case you like...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
The folder in a zip file would be fine, just email it to me at somethingjelly@gmail.com. Thanks! :D

[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Sorry, I got really delayed in releasing it, and I'm adding a lot more fixes and stuff (like updated binaries). Been really busy but hope to release sometime later this week (so in other words, no I haven't released it yet).

Thanks for the patience, and good to see some people are using my ROM! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, no problem at all. I was just confused since it was mentioned in the changelog. I am happy with what I have today so all I get later is just some icing on the cake. Take your time :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I've posted an update, but here I am, just letting you know I'm still here! I was planning on having a build out here these past few days, but my main drive in my build server failed :(. I'm working on getting it back up and running, but it might be a few more days before I can get it working again. I will have a build up here as soon as possible, and thanks for hanging in there guys!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Version 1.1.0 has been released. Changelog is as follows:

### 1.1.0

* common: update to android-4.2.2_r1.2

* SoMeX: add dictionaries and gesture keyboard support (CM)

* common: add PrivacyGuard support (incognito mode) (cyanogen)

* settings: add PrivacyGuard manager (slimroms)

* common: add SMS Security support (lithid)

* phone/contacts: add T9 dialer and landscape dialer functionality

* phone: Make going to call log after call optional (CM)

* libcore: patch BOTH master-key security exploits! (AOSP)

* phone: add transparency to incall screen (fitsnugly)

Deodexed builds are up, odexed will follow later today.

Just an extra note, you should no longer need to use the modified gapps I provided for gesture keyboard, you can use the official gapps now. Link is in OP.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Odexed builds are up!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] melp57:
Why does goo keep telling me I have an update?

BTW, very nice ROM!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Sorry man, that's my fault. There are two builds for each device, odexed and deodexed. I need to figure out how o distinguish them so that it doesn't keep telling people that. Glad you like it!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] melp57:
No problem :) Best "stock" like ROM out there. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Thanks man! That means a lot! :victory:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] melp57:
Would be nice to have a wallpaper for this ROM. Like the triangle logo in the OP
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Yeah man, great suggestion! I'll have my graphic designer friend see what he can do :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Hey guys, 4.3 builds are up! Test em out and let me know how they run! I tested a bit and it seems to be pretty stable, let me know if there are any issues. :)

Forgot to mention, the gapps have been updated for 4.3, so you need the new package (updated in OP) to flash with this zip.

Also, Google's dialpad autocomplete has replaced the CM T9 dialer, and will need to be turned on in the Phone settings if you want to use it (it's off by default).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xray49er:
no hd YouTube

The rom is running great. The only problem I ran into is YouTube will not play HD videos. Anybody else running into this problem
[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
I have also been able to reproduce this issue. I'll take a look into and get back to you. It could just be a problem with the Youtube app, but I'm not quite sure yet, since it runs fine on my N4....

[Nexus 7 Android Development] something15525:
Yeah, no prob. Can you give me a link to the thread for the unofficial cm-10.1 build?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] webdroidmt:
LOL I guess you saw my post before I edited it. I was using 1.2.0, didn't realize that the link you posted for the test rom was to 1.2.1 Anyway, unfortunately same results with storage on 1.2.1. This also was an issue initially with CM 10.2 and fattire fixed it.

See here regarding vold: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44135046&postcount=294

On another note, aside from CM, your rom seems to be one of the only ones with a storage-list xml in framework-res that will natively support USB OTG. :good:

Thanks,
