Hi Quallenauge and Folks

A quick question, Are you building your kernel with an in built omaplfb?

or to put it another way how are you building the omaplfb external kernel object?

A word about the watchdog, remove the critical from the service declaration so if/when it fails you won't get a reboot. I know on the omap4430 by default it fails so probably "setprop ro.board.cpu_type OMAP4460 " like you suggested is a good idea!!

Do you know if the watchdog_daemon talks to the kernel drivers, I did notice there is a TI_watchdog in the kernel.

I built the cm_otter ( kindle fire omap4430 ) earlier on and I've been playing with that, I dropped the archos kernel into build so I got all the modules etc built for free, you might want to check otters build scripts as it pretty much builds everything we need.

A couple of CM changes you might want to be aware of, when in was repo syncing earlier I noticed they've swapped/updated the su binary. CM's version now tries to check /data/dat.../com.android.settings ( it's some path in data , basically the main settings db ) which means you can't su when you have no data.... Not very useful for device bring up! I think there is some changes with either adb or mkshrc because I can't get adb to start as root... I replaced cm's su with a standard 4.2.2 and now at least I can su from an adb shell.

A bit of good news. I've created a cwm flashable zip for the system partition which is a start, I've well on with sorting the boot image.

If you want pull my cwm intergration at some point into your kernel here's the commit https://github.com/trevd/kernel-archos/commit/331156601d5038309e6d11594658b49337554543

you just need these fills

arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap4-reboot-reason.c

init/initramfs.c

usr/initramfs_data.cpio

I had to move omap4-reboot-reason.c from a late_initcall to core_initcall so the populate_rootfs in initramfs is aware of the setting and chooses the appropriate ramdisk to load. It's a bit of a hack but it's beats any of my previous ways of solving the problem :good:

It'll boot into recovery from a cold start the further reboots are as normal unless you "adb reboot recovery" .

Right back to my devPit! :laugh:

Hack On!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabboman:
I'm thinking to swiching to CM (again), but the last time i had a lost of signal losts. I think that the modem can help to improve the quality of the signal, is that true? and if it is, what modem should I use? (I'm from spain)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Yes, that's true. The modem that works best for you isn't always the one that comes with the rom, so you can look for modem-threads for the S2 to find out which one is the most suitable for your region.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spc_hicks09:
To say this is something iOS has over Android, is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. How many apps does Android have over iOS? Home Launchers, Widgets, CPU Tweakers. The list goes on and on, so if you feel it's absolutely a must that you switch OS' for an app where you can look like a fool, by all means go for it.

Not trying to drag down Apple. I'll admit I left Android at one point for an iPhone 4 and I absolutely loved it. The only thing that brought me back to Android was more customization and a bigger display.

That being said, the title of this thread, and the point of this thread was probably just to cause arguments. Don't feed the trolls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Cause arguments? Dude hold on your horses. Who said that this little application is a reason to switch platform? None even considers that option. Seriously I don't think there is one single user over the whole xda-community that would consider swapping os just because of one small application. There's no way that anybody can be that stupid. OP just likes this app that he cannot get in google play. That's all. It's not a mindless discussion about android vs iphone. None ever said that "iOS is better than android due to this app" and I really don't get how can anybody interprete the thread's topic in this way. Some people find this app funny, other don't. But there's no need to exaggerate and search problem where it doesn't exist. Chill out. I am not interested in this app at all. To be honest I find these sound effects kinda annoying, but It doesn't bother me when people want to talk about it.

OMG, i really cannot believe what i am reading here.

No offense but the one that cannot see a significant difference between statements: "The 1 thing iOS has over android is this APP" and "This app makes iOS better os than android" should think twice before deciding to be a member of any message board or for his/her own good at least ask for assistance before posting anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wangyif2:
I'm pretty sure one for android is in the work, with that said usually the dev cycle takes months....

Fun app, but I want my OS to be useful, so sticking with Android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
iOS has a few things over Android such as a lot of extra polish and an overall more fluid experience but iOS is still pretty useless compared to Android. Heck, even in terms of apps, the only thing iOS has more of are games and those are more of a distraction than something people would consider useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Smartphones aren't about being "useful" anymore. They aren't business devices they're "everything in your pocket devices". Games happen to be one of the most used types of apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] falconoble:
You all really need to stop being so hostile. OP isn't saying that one app makes iOS better than Android overall. Cool your jets.

Do I have to wipe my nexus to change roms or kernels?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davisac:
ROMs: factory reset (not wipe)

Kernels: just flash and enjoy
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjerry123:
What does factory reset exactly do?

But, Smooth kernel has the option of choosing kernels when you flash the rom, so do I just flash the rom and choose a different kernel or what? What are my choices?

Thank you so much for replying! :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davisac:
Factory reset will wipe the /data/ and caches. It leave the /sdcard/ directory alone though where the media etc is. But you should still have a backup.

You can go ahead and use the SmoothROM installer to flash the kernel.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k29er:
It was also suggested in one of the kernel threads every time you flash a different kernel you should re flash your ROM. Not a wipe or reset just a flash to get back to original ramdisc before a new kernel. I do this all the time now and all the problems I got after multiple flashes are gone.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjerry123:
Hi. But wouldnt it be easier if I just did factory reset and then flash smoothest ROM and the install the kernel from there?

So I do factory reset and flash smoothest ROM right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davisac:
Correct.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjerry123:
So I was stupid and didn't back up. I factory resetted , deleted cache then flashed now everything is gone. My UI is back to stock but I checked in file manager and I still have my .obb / data files for my apps so what do I do?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davisac:
That's what a factory reset is: everything back to stock except for anything stored in the SD directory. You have to reload all your apps from the play store.

For next time I would suggest Titanium Backup to restore all your apps when upgrading. (And always make sure you have a Nandroid before flashing a new Rom in case something goes wrong).

[HTC EVO 3D] olllllo:
I have been through a day of torment with my VM Evo 3D since deciding to throw a new ROM on yesterday. Several months ago, I rooted the phone and installed a new kernel, but was still running the stock ROM.

On previous phones, I had never had to deal (that I can recall) with the s-on/s-off issue, so I just chose to be cavalier, grab a ROM and install it without reading some very necessary details which I have definitely studied since! Every ROM that I tried put me into boot loop, and after a few I realized there was no getting around s-off. Since I am on 64-bit Windows, I downloaded Ubuntu 12.10 and ran live disk to try the unlimited.io wire trick, however, the software failed and I was unable to even get to the point of doing the wire trick itself.

This morning, dejectedly I decided to just un-root my phone and start from scratch. I relocked it and installed a stock ROM with RUU. I decided that I am going to work through the steps again and be very careful at each step. I went to reboot into recovery and was unable to do so from power/volume-down. I went ahead and booted into regular mode and ran >adb reboot recovery. At this point it rebooted, but came up to a screen with a picture of a phone and a red triangle and exclamation mark. Some googling seems to indicate that my recovery image is jacked up, so I went to run >fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, but fastboot is not enabled. When I do >adb devices, I see my phone. When I do >fastboot devices, it returns nothing. The only way that I know how to turn on fastboot is to go into recovery, but since I can't get into recovery, I am unable to do that.

Does anyone have any advice on a good next step? Is it possible to turn on fastboot via adb? I am hoping that someone has a response other than 'you are screwed'. :) Thanks in advance if so.

[EDIT] Please disregard. For some reason, after powering it off for a while and trying again, I am now able to get into recovery. I have no idea why it wasn't working then and is now, as I haven't change anyway, but that is pretty much how my last 24 hours has gone anyway. :/
[HTC EVO 3D] jktenor:
Glad it decided to work. I would try the linux bootable cd with the pull the battery trick to get s off. It worked for me although it took quite a few tries to get the battery out at the perfect time. I was not cool with the wire trick or any kind of htc dev unlock. The cd also gives you options for the hboot downgrade as well. Good luck!!!

Perfect guide for rooting U.K. Three Xperia Arc LT18i 4.1.L.0.8 only...

Rooting your mobile may void the warranty and you are doing it at your own risk. Sony would be in no way responsible for any damage...

Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"

Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging

Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode

================================================== ==================================================

You should have

Flashtool

http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/

------Download------

1 ) Arc S - Kernel

http://www.4shared.com/file/qNTvdPI6/Lt18i_41A0562_Kernel.html

2) Go to C:/ Drive > flashtool > firmwares > delete everything present and Put the kernel

3) Run Flashtool click on the flashing icon ( left side below "file" option)

Select flashmode > ok

Setup should be like this > select OK

Follow the steps connect your mobile and flash.

Flashtool may show error after flashing kernel, no worries. Even your build number, android version won't change. Everything would remain same. So please don't go to phone settings to check anything

4) After flashing restart your device, It may not start completely, may remain at Sony logo or blank/black.

Whatever the status is, just restart your device and proceed with the rooting--->

( Make sure you close flashtool before running the rooting toolkit )

Now connect your mobile to PC and Root Your Phone

If you face problem in downloading the toolkit then here it is

smaller battery than the 7.7, no OLED screen :( and compared to the ipad mini, the benchmarks seem lower (there is a link on sammobile comparing them). I do hope the performance will be better. If priced right, should be a nice tablet, but I feel there might a lot of tablets introduced at MWC this year.

It seems like they are going for the budget tablet crowd this time, that is too bad but who can blame them with the success of the 200 dollar tablets.

I just picked up a Nexus 10 and may eventually drop my 7.7 depending on usage scenarios. Lack of a completed CM rom (9, 10 or 10.1) due to Samsung is the main culprit. Maintainers for Exynos4 devices may not last much longer, which sucks ;[

Would explain why Samsung are reluctant to provide the JB update for the 7.7 (at least not until these new tablets are available). 7.7 + JB would be tough to beat even with older processor
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pinsb:
Guys the market has moved enormously since the 7.7 was announced and then launched.

When the 7.7 was announced the only real competition was Apple and the 7.7 was priced against the Ipad and component costs could therefore be quite high.

Since then prices for tablets have tumbled about 50% and as a consequence component costs have got squeezed.

While we all love the SuperA screens on our tabs I suspect the costings mean it's unlikely to be on another product anytime soon, everything after including phones has been Pentile screen AFAIK.

The next 'flexible' screen looks really interesting but I hate to think of the manufacturing cost and therefore how much the tablet will cost......
