[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thorstenk:
Hey, I just saw that Motorola has released the source-code for our beloved Razr I on sourceforge.

So in theory it should be possible to compile our own androids. I was wandering whether anybody is working on this / has tried that?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/razr-i.motorola/

Thorsten
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vistaus:
Yes, we could use that if they'd give us a non-corrupted kernel source. We already knew this.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbanbury:
I've had a brief attempt at this but always get build errors at make.

So far I've tried with cyanogenmod ics release and aosp but not entirely sure how to overlay the motorola repos. Most are fairly obvious and can be merged into device, external, hardware etc but don't know where to put the Motorola folder...

turl set up a device tree for the razri a while ago but it hasn't been touched since:

https://github.com/turl/android_device_motorola_smi

@Vistaus - Motorola updated did updated the source after the initial corrupt version.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thorstenk:
Okay thanks for the info.

Maybe naive, but what about trying to contact Motorola and ask them how the build-pocess works? Or do you think they would not help?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
I've built my own kernel from source months ago but forgot to include the modules too so I had no WiFi or bluetooth lol oh well.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thorstenk:
Sounds good!

Could you explain how you did it?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vistaus:
That is not what developers say and I doubt developers will lie about it.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbanbury:
Thorstenk, the instructions for building the kernel are in the README.

The instructions for building in the WIFI/bluetooth modules are also pretty clear.

I may try another build with just these, I was running into problems when trying to build with all 37-38 folders overlayed...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thorstenk:
Thanks man, will give it a try, unfortunately I am not very experienced ...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
This was how I did it. Just followed the readme. Modules didn't work right though as I said.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thorstenk:
Just tried to compile the whole thing which did not work, overlaying everything is definitely not sufficient. I guess we need to do more.

After that I tried to bake a kernel, wich did not work as well, always another build error. I am working on a mac which probably makes the situation that bad, no idea.

Dont get why they do not provide a tar-ball where everything is included ...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbanbury:
I'm on a mac also, it shouldn't be an issue if you are on a case sensitive file system n using correct java, gcc etc.

Check the version of xcode you are using as well, I had to install version 3.

Oh and post the error message. I got to the point where it was complaining about multiple copies of busybox from the overlayed folders (which is why I think we don't need all of them)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord0815:
New WebKit Part Online and a new README -> how to compile the complete ROM IMHO.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogo.sena:
README instructions are the same as ICS, hope it works this time..
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbanbury:
Yes, I bothered Motorola for this last night. Glad they sorted it so quickly.

Also don't include the recovery folder at the moment.

I had an unsuccessful build this morning so I think there's still some things missing...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogo.sena:
Keep bothering ! :good:
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord0815:
Theres a new tree online SMI-28 maybe with a working kernel source this time?!

Unable to Compile Source for Razr I

Hi,

I tried to follow the instructions given in the above link at sourceforge.net

I downloaded Google Vanilla 4.1.2_r1 branch source and downloaded the file motorola has given and extracted and merged onto the downloaded Google Source and i tried to build, but i'm running into errors related to extrernal/chromium.

If anybody has compiled the source successfully, please let me know the pointers on what does

"Overlay Motorola-provided published repos on top of original Google versions" means and how to proceed on compiling the source successfully.

Highly appreciate your time.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
I havent build an aosp rom yet, but what "Overlay Motorola-provided published repos on top of original Google verions" means is dat you need to copy all the moto files on sourceforge over the original files. Next to that you need a device tree to start a succesfull build. But i found out that some motofiles are outdated if u compare it with the official google source. Dont know what exactly.

What are your compiling errors?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandroid1304:
Thank you very much for your quick response. I understood the same way what you explained. Below are the compiling errors

Checking build tools versions...

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbanbury:
Aye up,

Remove the recovery folder, motorola messed it up.

The '...given more than once' stuff I think is if you have duplicate folders. Make sure you do a copy and replace when overlaying, not merge.

Also, are you overlaying on CM or AOSP?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandroid1304:
I'm using AOSP not CM.

You saying me to remove bootable/recovery?

I copied and replaced all the folders i extracted after downloading from Moto website.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boss442:
Motorola has bad some things.... in the root directory of your working rom you can found a folder called "chromium" move to "external/chromium" and replace this, but you messed up some folders so it's better delete all the sources and try again... remember view the .tar name if says "motorola_external_chromium.tar" extract it in /external
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminemix:
Hello.

I made a script to ensure correct overlay over vanilla.

#!/bin/bash

# chromium/ and webkit/ won't be placed where they should be

workdir=~/WORKING_DIRECTORY/

for file in *.tar.gz
do
# Check if file exists
whereToExtract=`tar -f $file --list | head -1`
if [ -d "$workdir$whereToExtract" ]; then
echo "$workdir$whereToExtract exists; clearing contents";
rm -rf "$workdir$whereToExtract"
else
echo "$workdir$whereToExtract does not exists";
fi
tar xvfz $file -C $workdir > /dev/null
done

However, i get this error when trying to build userspace components.

build/core/base_rules.mk:171: *** external/chromium: MODULE.TARGET.STATIC_LIBRARIES.libevent already defined by chromium. Stop.

Compiling only the kernel and repacking boot.img doesn't work (phone doesn't boot).

Anyone managed to compile this?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JukeJoke:
Thanks! That makes the whole "overlay"-thing realy clear.

Also check out the moto support forums regarding the booting issue: forums.motorola. com/posts/8cf473f2df

On sourceforge a moto guy says, that it's currently not possible to build everything with one make attempt: sourceforge. net/motorola/razr-i/discussion/general/thread/8f23e5f7/
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminemix:
I've read all the possible forum/pages/links about Motorola Razr I. I think no one managed to compile a custom kernel and put it on the phone :(

I wonder what they are based on. Maybe it's worth a try to take the common 3.4 Kernel from the Android repo and try to compile it against the 3.0 config file provided by moto...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaddwinkle:
I would like to use my android 2.3.4 phone w/ square as a credit card swipe at my farm stand. The stand is a help-yourself system so I built a secure case to go around the phone and customers can swipe their cards while I'm working on the farm.

Is there any app or settings out there that essentially keep my phone running square w/o the option of backing out? Basically I want customers to only be able to use square and not have access to the rest of the phone.

Thanks

It seems since the upgrade to JB on Rogers the car dock settings seems to be gone. If I put it on the dock it still works but can't customize like before ...ex how long does screen stay on etc.

Anyone else on Rogers and new JB can confirm if dock mode is available under settings.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexx192:
some time ago my samsung s2 started having problem. The main problem the unclear screen output.My question is whether the screen or the graphics chip is broken.

Sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesaj:
1. You should ask in Q&A

2. I would check tape of the display that connects to mainboard, probably it's broken. If GPU were, your CPU would be also, they are integrated and phone won't just boot. In worst case it will be display itself, I don't bet it's mainboard related.

3. Did you drop your device, it got wet (ex. holding it in your jacket in rain)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexx192:
i drop it,.. so do you think that the board is ok. could this coulours be so if the display flex cable is broken?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
Just intersted to know if anyone else is using their tablet as a second monitor and what software / setup is being use and there general latency / experience is like. I use idisplay on both USB and wifi and performance is pretty good, refresh is high enough to watch web video but it crashes media player when I drag movies onto it, havent found out why that is yet.

I mainly use mine as a second monitor for use with Presonus Studio one, I sometimes drag the midi track or a vst synth onto it so I can twiddle the knobs with touch instead of my mouse.

[HTC One X+] djsynth:
Why is the dev community for this device so small??

Is it because its only been released in november or because its not selling well and not a lot of people are buying it???

what you guy's think?

the dev community for the original one x its really big and I bought this device thinking it will be big too :)))
[HTC One X+] maxwen:
too high price compared to what it offers compared to the HOX

I would have actually never bought it without some nice people

giving donations to me :)
[HTC One X+] djsynth:
I see... what a shame... i believe this to be a substantial improvement over the one x hence why I went for it.. just that I've had the phone for 5 days and I feel like I bought a phone that's been released 2 weeks ago instead of 2 and a half month's ago since I feel the development community/user base is so ridiculously small for such a high end amazing (in my personal opinion) device :)

do you reckon the user base will rapidly grow ?? :)
[HTC One X+] maxwen:
Well size does not always matter as you might know :D
[HTC One X+] djsynth:
Some times there are exceptions lol the bigger the userbase the quicker bugs get reported and fixed and the more stable roms become also the more people own the device the more developers start developing for this device and the more choice we get in terms of mods, tweaks, roms :D
[HTC One X+] ectodroid:
The international device has cm10,aokp,aosp and ****loads of sense based roms. Personally I think it's enough.
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
nah it needs more :P
[HTC One X+] djsynth:
It needs more choice mate, there's like 10 roms on the internation version of the phone, 5 sense and 5 non sense roms and that's it, sure we got the main ones but compared to other devices such as the gs3 and htc one x this is nothing lol we ESPECIALLY need more mods and themes for our device as you can barely find any especially on any sense roms :)
[HTC One X+] tzmx:
First of all, for this was one ''fast buying'' when i bought this phone - i didnt rly do a research about it.. most important - didnt check xda.

So when i came here, i was suprised in a bad way - such small community and quite low activity in dev section. ( i came from old good desire, where even after 2+ years its still active deving there).

I even considered to change my new HOX+ to regular HOX or even GS3, but after all for various reasons i stayed with HOX+... i must say i love it!

The thing is i personally love it even as stock... don't get me wrong - i could call my self flashomanic, i flashed my old dersire serval times in a week, even in day sometimes, but on HOX+ at the moment i don't see the need.

So i cant be the only one who don't yet see the need to start flashing... Phone is new and we haven't got bored with stock yet. In time it will grow, but i dont think that as big as hox orginal. But will see...

Well that's my opinion.
[HTC One X+] XSafire:
I'm still hoping that one day all roms will be compatible with both versions of the x+ via aroma, that way the community isn't split and everyone gets twice as many devs.

probably will never happen though :(
[HTC One X+] somemadcaaant:
Seriously still very early days, if u want to see small comunities check the xperia threads which took months to release only a few roms each. Can take 6 months for a community to grow not a couple of months...

Of course the desire grand daddy of android phones, sgs3 and hox have a huge threads, they been out for yrs and still have huge followings.

The LG optimus 2x took a yr to get to where it is even now, and its now huge.

Very very early days... And we have heaps of great roms already.

Redundant thread.
[HTC One X+] wangtang2k:
Yeah, some communities are huge and not to mention OLD. Check this friggin' BEAST that apparently refuses to die. The community there is alive and kicking. I still have the damned thing staring at me, growling, after all these years lol I've flashed it so many times I'm surprised it's still holding together :p
[HTC One X+] CirgioD:
This dev community is great, we have awesome roms and kernels...period;)
[HTC One X+] nugzo:
My 2 cents.. :victory: Samsung hurt this phone. THe GS3 came out shortly after the original One X. The original one X was a nice technology leap for phones and since it was released a few weeks earlier than the GS3 it got a bunch of the community. The GS3 got the majority of it though. a lot of people were eligible for upgrades from their single/dual core phones. This Hox+ is a great phone but not so much better than the GS3, or OG hox for that matter, that it's worth it to pay early termination or buy the phone full price. I think its just a timing issue mostly as well as no new groundbreaking features. Doesnt help that i havent seen even one HOX+ commercial on TV but i see hundreds of GS3 commercials.:crying:

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

I betcha specific phone threads dont do a whole heck of a lot of growing after 6 months.. Certainly some exceptions, you listed a few. I'm talking more about phones with nothing new to offer over phones already on the market.(like Hox+) There's Way to many newer better stronger faster phones available to choose from after a 6 month period for a dev. :D It may grow some from regular joes but Devs are probably on the decline (as far as new devs) after 6 months :good: Unless its a real solid phone and they start selling it for $50-$100. Dev community would grow then :silly:
[HTC One X+] nitsuj17:
lloir has done a great job with aosp for this device (many other htc devices should be so lucky)

turge has now brought viper rom to the att version, and m0narx will for intl

idk, to me as a user id feel pretty lucky with whats available now and coming soon...given that its a really small userbase
[HTC One X+] Stephen:
There is some great work done on this device all ready. Some big roms in the works as well. Don't the International device was only released if I am right on the 22nd of October so it is a very new device. People have not had time to get there hands on it.

Personally I am very happy I went for this over the One X. It is an amazing phone!
[HTC One X+] nealkoy:
Not to mention we have great custom kernels for both sense and non-sense :)

[HTC One X+] jotha:
No need to whine. You have a nice bunch of choices yet on this phone. Having said that, I think One X+ will never get the popularity of One X.

You have to think in terms of cycles. A big number of HTC Devs switched from Desire HD to One X or to Sensation and from Sensation to One X. Always about a year. So many of them have no reason at all to switch to One X+, especially as the next generation will already be here in late spring/early summer (which will be around a year then again since One X).
[HTC One X+] pazzo02:
When HTC starts pushing out updates that screw up the phone (ala the Inspire) the dev activity will pick up.:p
[HTC One X+] skywalker1970:
We have insert coin, arhd, ordroid, some great aokp/aosp development going on and venom att. (Venom intl is around the corner)

Add to that some great kernel development already in place.

We already have in place a great development choice.

Quality matters more than quantity.
[HTC One X+] djsynth:
Just to clarify I'm not moaning or whining I just wanted to get people's opinions on the subject and thanks everyone for the replies.

:)
[HTC One X+] Molotovski:
As stated in the above posts, I think (and hope) the community will grow. Since it was released so short after the HTC One X it's probably going to take a while... But then again, I'd rather have quality over quantity
[HTC One X+] mlts22:
I'm impressed with the device, as well as with the work on it so far. I think the developer community will come, as it is one of the first batch of devices hitting US shores that have a quad-core CPU, and the internal SD card configuration. These two things are probably slowing down ROM making, but won't be for long.

So far, the ROMs I've seen for this device are excellent. I'm hoping ROM Manager or another tool like it gets updated, so one can OTA change ROMs out without issue.
[HTC One X+] djsynth:
How long ago was this phone released in usa? and uk? and is there any countries that it is yet to be released in? I don't know it seems like there is a definite lack of interest in this device from developers compared to other devices and I bet its because HTC hasn't advertised it at all... since HTC is known to be bad with updates taking long and most of the time especially lately just leaving their loyal customers without updates at all and lack of amount of devs on the device im worried just how future proof this phone is????
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
well look at the work myself and Maxwen have done for the ONE V which has NOT received any updates from HTC and it was shipped with ICS, the device is currently on android 4.2.1 now........so if your asking about future proof......this device has miles to go yet ;)
[HTC One X+] MMoodyB:
It think the Nexus 4 has much more to do with the slow uptake of the One X+. And probably that it uses the Tegra 3 chipset, which is a bit old now in mobile terms.

If it had shipped with the S4Pro chipset & 2gb ram it would probably have had a wider appeal. But that would have meant it was basically a Butterfly / J, so that was never going to happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joefanelli:
Good day all!

I was recently rooting and modding my friends AT&T SGS3 for him and noticed on their forum that someone had written an automated script for porting any Rom from any other SGS3 variant to any other, ie Verizon SGS3 roms running (from what I've been reading) flawlessly on AT&T SGS3! So of course my wheels got to turning and wondered if that was at all possible for us. Wouldn't it be great if that could be done here? So many knew options would be available!

So my question is; can this be done for the E4GT?

Hello, my tablet is TF300TG WW 9.4.4.40, unlocked bootLoader with custom recovery CWM

What I did is I went to

1-Asus support downloaded the appropriate upgrade which is "WW_epaduser_10_4_3_7_UpdateLauncher.ZIP"

2-copied the zip file as it is "WW_epaduser_10_4_3_7_UpdateLauncher.ZIP" and also copied whats in it which is "TW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.zip"

3.got the exclamation mark which is telling me there is an update

4.restart

5.It went automatically to the custom recovery CWM

6.I assumed I need to factory reset/and clear dalvik

7.then install from sdcard

8.tried "WW_epaduser_10_4_3_7_UpdateLauncher.ZIP" and failed immediatly

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdpaterson:
The way I updated mine was real simple: (Also have the TF300TG)

1. copy correct zip file from Asus to microSD card.. (make sure its the only file on the card)

2. Use the tablet microSD slot not the docking station one.

3. Power off the Tablet and reboot

Mine rebooted and ran the update no issues at all.. Hope that helps

I did this before unlocking the bootloader etc
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
For you tablet to update as you first tried stock recovery needs to be in place. Not cwm or twrp and the file would be TW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.zip.

You should be able to flash TW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.zip with cwm to update ( install zip ). After this completes you will have stock recovery in place not cwm.

Good luck!
