BUILDING KERNELs​

This post includes every thing that helps you develop and make a good kernel for your device

Requirements

Setting up the environment & building the kernel for the first time

Ubuntu 10.04 64-Bit (recommended)

Ubuntu 12.04 64-Bit

Note: If you want to use virtualization software, do not use Virtualbox. You can run into networking issues and so on. I suggest using VMWare Player instead, which is available for free on http://www.vmware.com

Steps :

1. make folder "sgy" in your home. the result is folder "/home/<yourname>/sgy". <yourname> is your linux user name, and from now replace <yourname> with your user name. put all file you already download there

2. extract "GT-P3100_Kernel.tar.gz" from "GT-P3100_GB_Opensource_Update.zip". put also in "sgy" folder

3. open terminal emulator and go to your working path with command

cd ~/sgy

4. extract your compiler with

tar -xvf arm-2009q3-68-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

5. create folder "kernel" and extract kernel source there

mkdir kernel
cd kernel
tar -xvf ../GT-P3100_Kernel.tar.gz

you got 2 folder, "common" and "modules"

6. open folder "common", there is file "Makefile". open with text editor and find line with content "/opt/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-". replace with "/home/<yourname>/sgy/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-eabi-", don't forget replace <yourname>.

7. in terminal goto folder "common" and load default config for sgy

cd ~/sgy/kernel/common
make bcm21553_totoro_05_defconfig

8. if you want change you config run

make menuconfig

9. if you ready to build then run

make

or if you want to make it faster

make -j3

10. when complete and no error appear, copy your kernel to "sgy" folder

cp arch/arm/boot/zImage ~/sgy

11. extract ramdisk from your boot.img

cd ~/sgy/
perl split_bootimg.pl boot.img

you got "boot.img-kernel" and "boot.img-ramdisk.gz". move "boot.img" and "boot.img-kernel" to other place.

12. repack your new kernel and ramdisk. but first get md5sum of your new kernel

md5sum zImage

you got something like

1fd319aa60abc2abae2e5932bcb9fc77 zImage

you need that "1fd319aa60abc2abae2e5932bcb9fc77" write it or copy to text editor. you need run it every time compile new kernel

13.Repack

chmod +x mkbootimg
./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz --base 0x81600000 --kernelMD5 <your md5sum result> -o boot.img

14.And if you want to make an odin flashble

tar -cf boot-sgy.tar boot.img

Now you've built you'r kernel ;););););););););););););););););););););););););););););););););););););)

UOT Kitchen customization​

Hello everyone, today I'm creating this thread for newbies who want to learn how to use UOT Kitchen so it can be used by the Galaxy Tab 2.

It allows us to mod everything in the phone! You can even choose which to mod.

Prerequisites:

- You current ROM's SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk

The instructions are as follows:

Step 1: Battery mod

Over here, you can change:

Battery icon

Battery charging animation

Battery style

Battery colour parts

Firstly, just choose a battery bar that you like. (I personally prefer the Honeycomb one)

Secondly, choose the charging animation. (Hybrid looks nice)

Thirdly, you can choose to change the colour parts or leave it as it is.

Fourthly, (optional) you can select Additional options:

Remove % numbers

Remove charging icon

Use gradient colour fill

Well, that's all for battery.

Step 2: Icons

Here you can change:

Smiley icons

Status bar icons

Notification Power icons

This doesn't need much instructions; pick what you like.

Step 3: Status bar

This is probably the most important thing when it comes to theming: the Status Bar!

It allows you to change:

Status bar transparency

Top bar

Add/edit top bar text

Add a header

Add/edit carrier

Add a background on the status bar

Customize notifications' colours

Add/edit footer

Firstly, you need to specify your phone's screen resolution size. (Ours is hdpi.)

Secondly, mix-and-match.

Step 4: Popup (a.k.a Window Animations)

This one is just as important.

It allows you to change:

Add/edit overscroll glow

Edit popup windows

Loading circle

Volume/Download bar

Add/edit list dividers

Same thing, mix-and-match.

Step 5: Lockscreen

This allows you to change:

Lockscreen

Step 6: Window

This allows you to change:

Window animations

It allows us to use the ICS windows animation effect!

Step 7: Fonts

This allows you to change:

System fonts

They have 26 fonts to choose, including the famous Roboto font!

Step 8: Bootanimation

This allows you to change:

System bootanimation

They have loads of bootanimations to choose from. Have fun!

Step 9: File upload

This is where you:

Upload system files for modding

Choosing updater-script type

Apply 9patch autofix

Toggle ThemeChooser preview for ldpi/mdpi/hdpi

Allow to download your settings into a UOT Kitchen-openable format

Just upload your system files.

But remember to choose the updater-script type as Galaxy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Step 10: Summary

This is where you can check the status of your mods.

Once it's okay, you can submit the work to the kitchen.

Once you submit it, you'll be given a number. That's the name where your file will be processed under and be shown for download at the "Pickup" section.

(Note: If it gives an error instead of a download post it at the UOT thread)

Thanks for reading this small guide, I'll update it with more info!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BravoCharlieDelta:
Is the T-Mobile's version of galaxy note 2 (SGH-T889) bootloader unlocked?

I had read news that Verizon's version was locked.

I have rooted the phone already (as per the thread in the development forum).

I know that rooting the phone and unlocking the bootloader are two different things.

I wish to install some custom ROM in the near future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Yes, Verizon was the only one that locked their bootloader

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kirby179:
So, I'm a very long time lurker, going back to the Galaxy Indulge and MetroPCS days a few years ago. I've had my E4GT for a while (about a year to be precise) and I'm curious about something; as many of you may or may not know, sprint tends to be slower than many networks in locating its phones to send a call their way (usually 1-2 rings). Lately, my phone has been ringing once, or less, before forwarding to voicemail. I recently disabled Google Voice integration to try and troubleshoot that, but I wanted to put a feeler out here as well.

Basically, the things that have changed are as follows:

I have a refurb E4GT because the old one developed hipster cracks in the screen, and I made a TPP claim

I loaded GB27 with GB08 modem (AGAT's recovery) though my phone claims I'm GB08/GB08

Have tried PRL 21096 and 11119

Symptoms:

When calling my phone, it rings 1-2 times at most before going to voicemail, even at full bars. Also Facebook thinks I'm in china.

So what will there be in HTC Sense 5 update coming this summer?

Can anyone confirm boomsound and blinkfeed?
[HTC One X+] geojoking:
The update to Sense 5 itself is not confirmed, per-se. HTC just confirmed that the HTC One X+, One X, One S (and a few others) will receive updates. But they never actually confirmed Sense 5, Blinkfeed or Boomsound.
[HTC One X+] jizang:
In this site http://m.areamobile.de/n/23678

It says we will get a sense 5 update and that its confirmed by htc. But it is a German website
[HTC One X+] dahwe:
"Laut dem HTC-Pressevertreter wird es keine hundertprozentige Portierung der Sense-Benutzeroberfläche vom HTC One auf die älteren Smartphone-Modelle des Herstellers geben. Das liege an den unterschiedlichen Hardware-Voraussetzungen auf den Geräten, heißt es."

Which means exactly the same as what we already know :) -> According to the HTC representative, there will be no 100% port of Sense UI from the HTC One to the older HTC devices. (due to different hardware blabla)
[HTC One X+] zakaria888:

Oh sorry for the wrong post, but to be honest I'd be happy if we get blinkfeed and some of zoeys feature which are not hardware specific.

On March 10th I purchased the Poweramp pro key and since that day it can't verify the licence, and when I check the error, it gives me Google Play response - ERROR_CONTACTING_SERVER.

I've tried reinstall both Poweramp and the pro key, erase their cache, data, etc. and nothing. But today their staff answered me a mail saying this:

The thing is I'm using Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and Background Data isn't in Accounts & Sync. Googling I saw it's in Data Usage / Menu (the 3 dots in the up-right side) and then Restrict Background Data isn't selected and Auto-sync data is selected. For me those configurations seems pretty good and I'm guessing the problem isn't there.

And yes, I'm using the account I purchased Poweramp with.

I never knew this would be this hard. It's gonna be 2 months and I must see a great app like Poweramp closing every while because the failed licence check.

Can anyone help me here? I'm getting desperate here.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Vlad87do:
1. Wrong section (Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting)

2. Try to contact the poweramp support (very good support)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alainalemany:
I'm guessing the "very good support" is sarcasm, right? I've been writing mails to them and the solutions do nothing.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Vlad87do:
no idia , they geve answere after 30 minutes
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alainalemany:
The answers are quick... the solution, no.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ImWarped:
If clearing your caches and making sure your connection is solid doesn't fix it(I'll assume you tried this while connected to WiFi already), and they have verified your purchase, just ask them to send you the link to the alternate activator download (that you get if you purchase the unlock directly through them, and not Google.) So far as I know, it doesn't have network activation however, and you have a bad install of the unlocker (The Trial installs on anything, it looks for the unlocker, the unlocker doesn't do anything except sit hidden on your phone)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 0rigin:
1. Remove your Google account from the phone(no worries, no data will be lost)

2. Go to apps -> play store -> remove data

3. Go to accounts and sign in again with your account

4. Problem solved.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] arc_u:
Or simply uninstall the unlocker, reinstall it from gplay, and open poweramp from the unlocker, you're done.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 0rigin:
Well from what I understand the unlocker isn't installed at all due to play store syncing problems. I'm 99% sure the above answer will solve this issue.

I wonder why they would release a newer build for Thailand and Indonesia, XXDME1 (06.05.13) when XXDMD2 (18.04.13) hasn't long been out.

Maybe there were issues with the older build and have pushed this new one out to correct something :confused:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] earlyadopter:
Is there a definitive list of bugs in WM2003? The two I've read about most often are the XDA turning itself on when phone signal is lost/reconnected, and the SD card erasure. The annoyance of the former caused me to downgrade back to 2002.

Are these verified bugs in all 4.x ROMs? Are there more I've missed?

Are there successful workarounds? (I don't consider locking the SD card a valid workaround if one wants to write to the card often).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vaeevictiss:
So after my wife complaining how annoyed she is with the OTA request popping up every 12 hours, i decided to get her phone to accept. She was on a 4.0 version of AOKP, so i safeboot restored her stock rom and uninstalled safeboot.

the update went well but now she has no 4g and cannot send any emails. Is there a fix for this? I found one thread where people said there is no fix as somehow the hardware got corrupted (apparent happened to a lot of people). Some people were lucky and were still under warranty and others just bought a new phone or got one from ebay. Well shes just over a year so the warranty is out of the question, and we cant really afford a new phone at the moment.

This is kinda bull**** as she had an LG ally before this that broke with an OTA and verizon refused to do anything about it.

Hopefully there is some workaround.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] naifs_br10:
my friend can you try doing rsd lite with fastboot files again like a clean install of the jb update using fastboot files and see if that helps or not. sometimes the ota is corrupted but the fastboot install fixes them. try and let me know thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] doogie87:
Hello all. So here is my situation.

Motorola Milestone X2

Last night I successfully rooted the phone and installed CMOD 10 using these directions

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2101633

Everything went fine. Charged the phone overnight, went for a jog this morning running both Pandora and c25k app. Absolutely no issues.

So I get to work and the phone just shuts off. Will not power back on or into fastboot. When plugged into USB, green light comes on.

After several minutes it will randomly power back on. Then after using it for a few minutes, it will just shut off again. Powering on and shutting down seems to happen randomly.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
[Motorola Droid X2] doogie87:
Quick update. It is draining the battery. The next time it booted up I watched carefully, and the red light in the corner was flashing and it said 5% battery, even though it had a full charge just a couple of hours ago. Something must be draining it badly if it will not even run very long while plugged in. Again, any fix for this would be greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
SBF back to stock and see if it still does the random power downs. If it still does than I'm sorry to say but its your phone
[Motorola Droid X2] doogie87:
Is there a reason to think that flashing to CMOD 10 actually broke the hardware? I have never had battery issues before. SBFing back I am sure would resolve the issue but then what?

And I am not talking "I used to get 12 hours, now I get 10" I am talking "I used to get 12 hours, now I get 12 minutes."

Even when plugged in, if I use it very much, it will die. Surely this is an issue of the phone incorrectly reporting the battery levels. I ran the battery calibration app (not at 100% charge since I cannot seem to get it that high) and it seemed to have no effect.

When I try to have the OS boot into recovery to try clearing the battery data, I just get an icon that look like the little android guy standing in front of a caution sign.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
cyanogen 10 has issues on our phone. plain and simple. also check the battery stats and see whats running. i had an issue once with facebook running 99% of the time consuming way too many resources. id sbf and try again from stock. if theres still issues try running cm9 it runs nicely and its my daily driver.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
...............................
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Not necessarily, I've gone two days with 3g radio on but with minimal use on cm10 it really just depends on the hardware variations. Just like how two phones of the same model over clock differently because of minor flaws and variations durring manufacturing.
[Motorola Droid X2] doogie87:
So I was finally able to get it to charge to 100% and then used the battery calibration app.

I could not tell immediately if that did anything, but it seems to be holding its charge today. Guess we will see how it does over the next couple of days.

Thanks!

U20i. Had a custom ROM SE_Style_V1.1, so phone was rooted, superuser installed. Now I wish to put MiniCM9 on the phone.

Flashtool gives:

ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"

S1TOOL gives "R8A029" and SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE

Which threads say is because the phone is locked. But.......... the phone is rooted. Forgive noobness - I'm assuming rooted = bootloader unlocked.

None of the unlock procedures finish. Flashtool plugins menu option is empty, none of these methods work.

The “date” on the phone rear panel is 10W27.

The methods I was trying to follow:

Also: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_mimmi

All the bootloader unlock procedures hang at some point. I thought maybe these were failing because the phone is already rooted. So..

I reflashed with a stock ROM, and then using Superoneclick - this was successful - no problem, it rooted the phone. (no info if rooted = bootloader unlocked, my noob assumption)

But I tried flashtool and again, it fails with "SIN header verification failed"

I've been reading the forum for days, but just the same problem. I'm going in circles. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] isko95:
restore to stock and do it from the start!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Your phone's bootloader is NOT unlocked, if it is the R8A029 would give a small 'r'

Put usb-debugging on on your phone and install busybox with flashtool.

I guess the plugins-menu of flashtool would give you the option to unlock the bootloader then.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] abssorb:
I did that (above) but perhaps I didn't do it correctly. Flashtool loaded the stock kernel OK.

Yes, USB-debugging was on, and unofficial sources.

busybox installed using Superoneclick, but I can do with flashtool if it's different.

plugins-menu of flashtool was empty at every attempt, including after restoring to stock. It's almost like I have a bad install of flashtool

Grateful for help.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] abssorb:
Fixed by going back to stock with Sony Ericsson PC Companion update option.

I got it sorted. I'm sure my questions seem very noob, but it's good to get re-assurance when everything seems to be going wrong, so thanks for the answers above.

Details in case anyone else has the same problem.

Re-loading a stock kernel was not the same as "going back to stock". No matter how many times I successfully loaded a stock kernel and rom, the unlocking options would not appear in the flashtool plugin menu. Also I think this was re-locking the bootloader.

I got around this by using Sony Ericsson PC Companion, the update option, which got rid of my old custom setup and put the whole phone back to factory stock. PC Companion reported: "Xperia X10 mini pro (U20) was updated with 2.1.1.A.0.6"

After this, flashtool still would not work, but this time I had re-assurance that I was starting with a phone that should work.

I switched to a different PC which had never had any of these tools on. The first thing I did was load the Gordon Gate drivers, then flashtool. It worked perfectly.

I didn't find out what was up with the first PC, but it might have been driver problems. Every tool seems to come with its own set of drivers, and I had been installing and re-installing them, so I imagine it was a right mess. I should have made a restore point on the PC so I could go back to a "no drivers" position easily.
