[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyper91:
I'm trying to get into development of custom ROM's and whatnot and am following CM's build guide, however I've read numerous people attest to using a distribution of Linux for all development.

I do a little Java and c++ development as I study Software Engineering and to be honest considering Mac is UNIX also, I've never found any difference between me using my MBP or running one of the many linux distro's i've experimented with.

I was just wondering if anyone can actually give some valid reasons and justifications for all the people who state that it's almost a -must- to develop on 64-bit linux installation.

I know this question has probably been asked before but I've been searching and can't find any non-flamey posts.

Cheers!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konvey:
Developing on Linux isn't a MUST, but I highly recommend it. With Linux you can set up servers to test connectivity with ease, and there is a plethora of built in support for Linux on distributions like Ubuntu. Different distributions, such as Kali (formerly BackTrack) are good for hacking and stuff. Simply using 'sudo apt-get install' you can get amazing tools to help you out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NixZero:
the only reason is that as most android developers work from linux so they have built most tools for that platform, on other platforms you'll find only the most rudimentary tools.

so you can do the same on mac or windows or beos if you want but you'll have to create all the missing tools by yourself probably.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankx85:
I was just wondering what modems people use and their location. I am on the east coast (long island) right now I am using FL24 but I usually stay around 2 bars. Going to try a few others and see what happens.

Hopefully if everyone shares their location and best modem for their area we can help others make an informed choice.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also what kernel and rom your on would help too, I am on CyanogenMod 10.1 (March 14) Android 4.2.2

P.S. does anyone know where the lockscreen, music and toggle widgets are located?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] californicated:
Hi,

I just got my XZ a few days ago and experience only one issue: When doing a call the display turns off immediately, but when I put the phone away it's still off and doesn't turn on again. Service menu says the proximity sensor is turned on.

Anyone else with this problem and maybe the solution?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lijink2000:
Most of the time with proximity sensor not functioning is because some Screen Protector is blocking it.

Make sure your custom screen protector isn't blocking it first, then if it still doesn't work properly maybe it's a hardware failure, should contact SONY then....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] californicated:
If it's the sensor or the screen protector (which has cut outs for the sensor), then why does it turn off the screen correctly the moment it put the phone to my ear?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] californicated:
It was the screen protector. Strange, other people don't have any issues with it.

So sorry Sony, your are great :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PePeMoke:
Might be a little bit late, but maybe for others

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thi3um:
Hi guys,

I have offered an atrix to my dad ( stock 2.3.4 rooted), but each time I choose, or create a contact i got a FC with this message "sorry, force close application of space contact (process com . Motorola.contact)" or something like that (Google translate is my friend but my friend is not perfect)

Is anyone has any ideas?

All the contact are Google contact that were sync when he logged his Google account.

Only way to launch call is to use dial pad but impossible to create new contact :'(

Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reph05:

Click on backup/restore at the top of titanium

go to motorola contacts and freeze this app (this should stop you getting the 'process com . Motorola.contact' fails.

after you have done that we can look at helping you get your sync working properly.

go into recovery and wipe dalvik cache... any better?

if not I would be thinking of a fresh install of your rom (do you think you could do that?)
[HTC Wildfire S] aLeedsUnitedFan:
Hello, I know I posted a similar thread but the problem has changed.

Here's the story;

I went to put in a custom rom on my HTC Wildfire S (this mod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1515120 ), everything was going okay, but all of a sudden the phone was stuck on the white HTC screen for about 15 minutes. So I took out the battery and tried again, once again it was stuck on the HTC screen. So I take out the battery, now I boot into Recovery, seems to be working I think to myself, so I do a factory reset. Result! I now see the bootloading screen! Oh wait a second, 10 minutes pass, and nothing happens. Stuck on the loading screen. So, I go back to my recovery and attempt to restore my phone to its previous state before trying to install a custom rom. It says it works, and does. But I then had a black screen. Rebooted, reset, tried installing stock roms, erasing data, more data, more reinstalling of stock roms but now all I'm getting is an unbootable phone. My phone will not boot, it just jumps straight into ClockworkMOD regardless of what I do.

My clockwork recovery version is: ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.8

Thank you in advance.
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
Have you tried using a RUU to factory reset your phone back to stock? It sounds like your phone could use it...

You should go to shipped-roms.com and look for the marvel ruus. Try to select one that is newer and in wwe (world wide English) as it will be debranded. Since you are s-off the phone should not give you any trouble :)

If you can't get the ruu to run come back here and i will walk you through it Pal :D

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nviz22:
Hi, I normally root my phone with Touchwiz ROMs. The last two I used was the one modeled after the Verizon one with multi window and Frost or Wicked, I don't remember the name of it. I had problems with both. Both roms caused speaker/radio issues from my end where I spoke on the phone and people could hardly hear me. After I unrooted my first S3, the problems persisted. I got a replacement S3, and that one had problems receiving phone calls half the time after the unroot on that device. My S3 got sent back to the manufacturer for a replacement. Is there a problem with me rooting or using the wrong roms? Or could I have had two defective devices in terms of hardware? Software resets didn't solve this issue btw. I just want to know if rooting my 3rd S3 will be wise or not?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kruse1944:
Sounds like a hardware issue, because unrooting is done with a stock .tar file with ODIN that flush your S3 and fully restore it. Or... the ROM itselft endomaged your S3 ( like the CPU that been overclocked will be one day damaged). But it's about the speaker and radio that is wierd. Odin it and reset the flash counter, ask a new one (say that it reboot severals time in a day, they will thing that you have a Sudden Death S3 tik toking to his death.)

Lets us know what have you done :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nviz22:
Yep, I already did that thanks. I sent it in last week. Got there on the 8th of March. T-Mobile hasn't sent it back yet. They said it was still processing. I told them to speed it up and they did a "handset" research form and they said they couldn't find it. I gave the a tracking # and said there is my proof. They said they will email me or call me on Monday with regards to my specific case. They might overnight me one by Tuesday. I have had too many problems trying to get a replacement S3. I have the 16 GB Pebble Blue one and that was discontinued 2 months ago. They have the Titanium Grey one, so I told them to send me either a 32 GB Pebble Blue one (not discontinued), a 16 GB White, or 16 GB Titanium Grey. They said that would be up to warehouse I sent it to. So only time will tell. I hope I get a White S3 though. It looks the best. I really think I will end up with a Blue one regardless because companies are picky with people getting color changes ex post purchase. I just don't want to give up the ability to root at all because it is the best way to get the latest updates because devs have the ability to write the source code, which I don't have. I absolutely hate coding because of my experiences with C++.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
I've never heard of T-Mobile making you send in your phone first..? Their warranty process includes sending you out a new (refurb) phone, then you sending the defective one back with the included box.

I said I sent it in already last week. I sent first, they will send another one to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcnunzie:
Hi, I live outside the US. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 which I was able to get data working after rooting (EDGE). However, I'm not able to get my 3G/4G. When I checked my Network mode options, I don't see an﻿ option for GSM/WCDMA. My friend who has a galaxy S3 has this option as the chosen method so I believe this is the problem. How can I get this option inserted into the phone. Is there any build prod or system file? I have already tried 'Phone Info which also didn't have the 'GSM/WCDMA' OPTION. I also tried accessing Test Mode: CDMA > COMMON > NEXT PAGE > NEXT PAGE > PREF MODE SET to select GSM/WCDMA ONLY.

Pleaseeeee help as I now signed up for a 4G plan thinking it would work with my S3.

Hi guys,

I bought an xda, used it for a few months and then lost it. Obviously this isn't the ideal method for xda usage and I'll try to change my ways.

Anyway, I bought a new one.

When I plugged it in to my USB cradle it asked me to set up a profile name - it woudn't let me use the same name as before though so I chose a different one.

Is there anyway to get the contacts, appointments etc from my old profile backup into my new one?

Thanks!

Daniel
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] smaslift:
Hi

When you sync with the new name, you should be able to get all appts and contacts transferred to your xda. With regards to your "old profile", you could copy all the files from the MyDocument folder into your new MyDocument folder and then sync it in. Alternatively if you still want to use your old name in the new xda, start active sync, click on file, partnership, select the appropriate partnership, click on delete partnership and you can then use the same name again for your new xda.

Cheers

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nitu01:
I need a custom ROM based on Android 4.2 (jelly bean) stock ROM with following change:

When device is first started (very first time or after factory reset), it display standard set up screen where Android asks user to select WIFI; Enter Google Account information. Once that is done, standard Android Stock Launcher is Displayed.

What I need is after the initial set up is done, I need to show user a prompt with yes or no to start another app (that will be pre-installed on the device) that is already added to the stock ROM instead of stock launcher app. The prompt need to be displayed as overlay on stock ROM.

If user says yes, this another app (instead of stock launcher app) should be started. If user says No, stock launcher should be displayed.

I will appreciate if anyone can give me pointers on what I need to do to get this implemented?

Thanks!!

[LG Optimus 4X HD] rhapsodize4452:
here is my preferred set of apps for the rooted phone

1. Avast Security: Firewall to block certain apps from accessing the internet! And general protection.

2. NoBloat Free: Used in removing the above mentioned apps. Helps to safely backup the apk file and delete it so that we can restore them back later if the need arises.

3. ROM Toolbox Lite: Could be used for many a purpose. But at present I use it to block the ads and prevent autorun services.

4. GSam Battery Monitor: Monitoring battery stats.

5. DS Battery Saver: - My phone never went into deep sleep. With this app it forced the CPU to enter deep sleep whenever screen goes off.

6. LagFix Free: Just like defragmentation in Windows system. Increases read speed of SD card

7. Clean Master: Great task killer, cache cleaner and history wiper. I use it to kill apps on screen off.

8. One Power Guard: Underclock my CPU to certain range. AI mode automatically switches profile. Helps in quicker charging of the battery and also in safe cleaning battery draining background apps.
