There are so many threads! It's confusing. I want to turn or run Android on my HTC hd2 and can't figure out what is the best way with the least hang ups. I don't want to damage my phone, and I want maximum use of it. The windows 6.5 has barely any function anymore since Microsoft abandoned it: I can't sync my calendar, or contacts with Window 8 and Microsoft sky drive and Bing Navigation no longer works. Windows *8 won''t even sync to Outlook 2010. So I have switched my loyalties to Google mobile app and the old Google map app still work on my windows phone. So can you point me to the best way to do this?

Thanks!

Confused but eager to go Android for my HTC hd2!

:fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] Nigeldg:
You should definitely flash Android on your HD2. It's very easy, just follow the guide in my sig. If you have an EU HD2 then you don't need to worry about damaging or bricking it.

Hello I have created a simple app for those of you who live in NYC or might one day visit and use the MTA Bus system.

This app will load all the bus stops in the selected boroughs and find the nearest bus stops and tell you how many stops away is the bus at each stop.

I used to use the bustime website but I created this app because its more simple to open an app and voila the stops near you are there.

its on the Play Store and if anyone needs it I can also upload here.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.emdnet.nycbt

Please leave a comment if you like or dislike and suggestions :)

The graphics in this app are horrible though since I am not a designer. If anyone wants to help in with a graphic or logo, that would be welcomed.

Thanks, Al.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Hi there!

I wish you good luck with your ROM but I have a few suggestions:

You took these instructions from my thread, I'm not saying you are not allowed to, but at least adapt it a bit:

*Vsync won't work from the "next buid" , in fact, it will never work at all, your ROM is based on ICS.

*Please specifiy the ROM source and give appropiate credits. It is based on arco's RC2 and the kernel is Castagna's. (this is not required but it's nice to appreciate other people's work by giving credits to them).

*You can take screenshots with your phone too, it is much batter than takin a picture with a camera...

Overall the ROM feels good and the theme is beautiful.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] blackbunny96:
Yes but vsync still don't work in the ROM . Sorry for coppied the text but i am at school and i don't have time to create a complete description.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] boombastick:
i suppose he meant that vsync will not work at all in an ICS rom
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] billy1billy:
So when you are at home clear some items like, ICS or JB, version etc....... and do not forget to credit some hard working people.

Any way you ROM is not bad at all.

[Windows RT General] Myriachan:
I'm posting this here because it says I need to get 10 posts in order to post on the Windows 8 development forums.

Why does the Windows RT jailbreak require that you press the volume button? As far as I can tell, pressing volume is used to trigger a code path in winsrv.dll on which a hook is placed. The hook jumps to the code cave between the .text and .data segments.

Reading the disassembly, the injected code uses the native API equivalent of EnumDeviceDrivers to get ntoskrnl.exe's base address, then calls the broken NtUserSetInformationThread subfunction 9 0x7EFF0 times to clear g_ciEnabled in the kernel. (I read the part about interlocked operations causing an exception in ARM if the target is unaligned, unlike x86 where it's merely not atomic.)

Instead of hooking an existing code path, why not inject a DLL into csrss.exe and create a thread in it? This seems like it would be much more stable, and wouldn't require pressing the volume button. CreateRemoteThread doesn't work with csrss.exe, because it tries to register the new thread with csrss.exe. Oops. However, RtlCreateUserThread *does* work, since native threads don't need to talk to csrss.

Where did cdb.exe come from? It doesn't come with the Visual Studio 2012 Remote Tools, so I'm guessing that it's a leak. In the absence of any other information, I'm going to guess that it's a leaked ARM version of Debugging Tools for Windows given to hardware developers who write drivers for Windows RT.

I'm working on a custom jailbreak that improves on a lot of issues. It's a single file, a .bat, that extracts everything needed, and a jailbreak program written in C. I've already gotten the custom C DLL loaded and executing, and am now looking into what I need to do to csrss.exe. Getting code executing inside csrss.exe won't be too hard, but I'm wondering what that code will need to do.
[Windows RT General] Archer:
Moved here as not an Android related development issue, so was out of place in General forums.
[Windows RT General] netham45:
You won't be able to inject .dll's. Windows will refuse to load the modules, unless the jailbreak has already ran.

As far as why it needs the volume button, you're correct in that it just executes an easily hooked code path in csrss.
[Windows RT General] Myriachan:
My DLL was linked with /filealign:4096, resulting in a perfect RVA to file offset mapping (assuming I don't create more than a small amount of zero-initialized global variables). With that, I can use NtMapViewOfSection without SEC_IMAGE to map it into csrss's memory without ci.dll getting in the way.

Once the DLL is mapped, I fix up its relocations, load the imports, and RtlAddFunctionTable. From there, the DLL is stable enough to do most things. All this works already - I'm just writing what to do next.

Does Tuesday's win32k.sys patch fix this bug? I saw that the patch had fixes for like 20 win32k bugs found by the Google guy who discovered the NtUserSetInformationThread 9 exploit.
[Windows RT General] Denis_63:
Hello!

Glad to see here sensible Guru, who understand, that non-permanent JB, requiring "Vol -" pressing and hanging in RAM - is a vicious way! :mad: I can't understand reluctance of Netham45 to make a permanent JB (nothing personal). If you will develop your own JB with options, described above, it will be a breakthrough! Wish you good luck and fastest implementation of planned :fingers-crossed:
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
If you think netham45 is reluctant to make a permanent jailbreak, your lack of understanding is far greater than you know. A permanent jailbreak would be excellent, especially one that was active immediately at boot (instead of requiring a delay after booting, during which time the default restrictions are still in place).

However, there are some issues with the current jailbreak technique. In particular, it's dependent upon knowing the correct offset for the flag that needs changing, there's no way to know for certain the state of that flag before writing it, and the offset changes with updates. If the wrong offset is written to, or the wrong value written, the system crashes. Therefore, making a "permanent" jailbreak using this hack runs a very real and serious risk of putting the device into a bluescreen-reboot loop after an update, even one that isn't intended to break the jailbreak, just by accident.

In order to make a reasonably safe permanent jailbreak, a new jailbreak method will need to be discovered. That's not a trivial thing; the first one took some time to discover at all, and the effort on finding new methods has fallen off somewhat as many people are now looking for ways to use the existing one rather than looking for new ones. Additionally, even if a new method is found (which would be good; we should always have a backup), there's no guarantee that the new technique will any better-suited for being persistent or even automatic on bootup.
[Windows RT General] netham45:
I did put in some code to automatically find the offset (downloads the pdbs from MS and disassembles that chunk of code from ntoskrnl and parses it), though it still does make some heavy assumptions that I wish I could do without. It should be in 1.13a.

Note that it's still just assuming that csrss is perfect, though.

I'd love a persistent jailbreak, but we don't have an exploit for one yet. I'm not reluctant to make one, I don't presently have the ability to. The tool that Myriachan is talking about would have the same issue.

Hello,i bought recently a tablet for someone but it has not the play store but it has slide me market.......how to install google play on it..will the vending.store.apk do the work or i need anything extra?

it has jelly bean 4.1.1 and its not rooted
[General Questions and Answers] SixSixSevenSeven:
It is doable. I have personally done it on a 2nd generation kindle fire.

You will need root though. Google play is not a standalone app and cannot be installed from a simple side loading. I'm sorry but it has been a while since I did it myself but first we had to root the tablet. Then you had to manually add a google services framework apk into one of the system folders on the internal storage (this is what root is for as normally the folder cannot be accessed, I forgot the exact folder name but I think it was simply system/app). Then we added the play app into the same folder. Reboot the tablet. Then it should work.

I apologise for a lack of detail as it was quite a while since I did it but someone else may be able to shed some more light,
[General Questions and Answers] Guitarman:
If you have a recovery on the tablet after rooting you can simply flash the Gapps package for JB and that'll give u the Playstore

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claytow:
Hi,

Wanted to post this under the main thread but can as im fairly new here. Wondering if someone can help. Running i9300 with XXEMA2 Wanamlite and Siyah 1.8.9 Kernal, with JKAY 14.91 and Red Illusion theme.

Just upgraded the framework and the Deluxe app from 14.9 to 14.91 however when I go into Deluxe settings it says theres a newer version available and when I look at the Deluxe settings it says my Framework version is still 14.7 even though all the others are 14.91. Is that correct? or do I need to do something else?

Also, after flashing 14.91 all the settings disappeared and everything went back and I had to set everything up again. Is there a way of saving off your settings before upgrading and then restoring them back to save you having to go through all the settings again?

Any help/advice appreciated.

Thanks

As far as I'm aware you need the corresponding framework to your firmware, also I found after a flash the settings are sometimes disabled/don't appear......a quick dive into jkay deluxe app and change a setting and back again seems to wake it up and being back old settings, but these are just my observations
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy1991:
You can make Backup and Restore within the Deluxe Settings app

Just press on menu key
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayoubij:
You had to simple backup the old settings and when you update you restore. ( use the menu key to open backup and restore in jkay srttings)

About framework 14.7 yes i have that too but u can ignore it because it doesnt afgect anything in functionality.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claytow:
Its ok guys, figured out what it is, if I just flask JKay Deluxe then everything is 14.91, then once the Red Illusion Theme goes on the framework returns to 14.7, will post in the Red Illusion theme thread about this.

Thanks for all your help

Hi prokennexusa

- I just tried this on my KFHD7"

- After changing the two lines and clearing out the Store app cache and data, I restarted and went back to Play.

- The three apps I was looking for were still not available to me (Fandango, Boat Browser and Chrome)

- I actually downloaded another app store (1Mobile Market) and downloaded all three apps which I installed and ran without problem.

- Also, I thought that perhaps it was not enough to change the two lines you mentioned (product model & manufacturer) so I tried this again with additional changes to brand (changed to samsung) model (changed to nexus s) and device (changed to nexus s) and then I saved the file, cleared cache and data from the google play store and again sought to gain these three apps which were are "not compatible" with my device.

- Unfortuntately, the Play store did not change the status for those apps --they all remained "not compatible" for the device.

- One good point I gained out of this so far is that I have found another pretty good market to get apps to sideload on my KFHD7.

- One question (please!), can I leave the build.prop identities (model, manufacturer, brand, name, device) in their changed state (samsung/nexus s) or is it better to revert them back to the Amazon Kindle for some reason?

Thanks!

markbc01,

What I think is happening is the vendors are given two options on how to read the model one reads the build.prop data while the other executes a simple 'android.os.Build.MODEL' request. It looks like most vendors are turning to the latter. They may also query the device fingerprint.

This is great info, this is what we were hoping for:good: - your feedback so we can improve the process and make it work 100% of the time. Give us 24 hours to look at all angles and then we will post an update that will solve your problem.

Leave the build.prop data as is, there is no disadvantage leaving the name changed.

Many free versions such as all of the Angry Birds games are still incompatible from the Play Store even with this edit, yet they work perfectly fine if sideloaded, guess that's more to do with the fact Amazon App Store only having the paid versions & asked Google to block them.

Gilly10,

You nailed it. Amazon and Google have a very tight relationship. As a matter of fact, if you watch the traffic when you purchase something from Amazon Software App Store, you will see something very interesting. The purchase traffic routes through Amazon but the download request is processed on the same server array as ................. you guess it, Google.

A sketchy workaround (because who knows where they're sourcing their apks) would be to install blackmart, aptoide or similar alternative market and install it from there.... What I can say that it works, but I don't fully endorse it because again, I don't know where they source their apps.

The reason may have to do with the contract that Amazon has signed with Google Play, since there appears to be little rhyme and reason.
