[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoLi26200:
Hi everyone,

Thank you for reading this thread question.

I have an Android 2.3.3 Mediatek MTK 6573 Phone. I am trying to learn how to make a custom rom. I like to know what tools we need to use in order to develop on this phone and in general. I have a few questions about the process to setup and make a custom ROM.

I rooted my phone using SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse. I'm trying to perform backup of the rom before I flash the ROM. I'm atta

1. Backup

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683883

The backup shell script uses mkyaffs2img, but it appears to be missing on my phone. Is there a correct site to get the right binary for mkyaffs2img to execute on the phone?

Currently when I try to backup the last part of the sh file this binary was missing

cat /sdcard/Install/BackUp/yaffs_back_2.3/gen/mkyaffs2image > /system/bin/mkyaffs2image

I tried to get a copy from code.google (http://code.google.com/p/fatplus/downloads/detail?name=yaffs2-source.tar&can=2&q=)

I get the error /system/bin/mkyaffs2image: 1: Syntax "(" unexpected

I tried using Nandroid, but I don't see the system.img or ramdisk.img file that represents the ROM system.

2. Flash ROM

http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html

From the same thread there is mention about SP Flash Tool. What is the scatter.txt file? Do we need to find it some where?

3. Android source

Can we use the android source (http://source.android.com/) to make our own custom ROM? If so how do we include the drivers that are specific to the phone? I can build my own custom system.img and ramdisk.img with the android source and load it on the emulator, but I don't know if I can use those img and flash it onto a real android phone. I'm aware of the idea of android fragmentation, but looking at android source code, it seems we need the specific vendor drivers to be included in the source build. Is this the difficult part in flashing roms for specific phone hardware?

Thanks for you help and explanatins :).

I think I'm trying to over complicate things, but this is my first time flashing ROM in android, rather than windows mobile >_<

Best,

Hey guys i flashed astatus bar mod to my stock android rom and after reeboting my statusbar has gone. Looks like the zip was not compatible with stock android rom. Now i want to get my status bar back but i forgot to create a system backup and now i can't restore my phone.:crying:

Hi all,

My XDA IIs works well before. But few days ago the Power button doesnt work properly, it can turn on the phone, hold to turn off the back light, but I can't use it to turn my phone screen off like before. Anyone has same problem ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nomadman:
Can you see any part of the screen? It might just be that the backlight adjustments are set too low when the unit isn't cradled. You might be able to see the screen in daylight.. or maybe it was inside your home. I forgot where I was at when it happened to me. In anycase, if you can see a bit of images on your screen, go into the Backlight properties and change the setting to your liking.

Good luck..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nemchua:
The problem is i can just press the power button to turn off my phone BEFORE (the screen is completly off), and NOW it doesnt work at all ! When my phone was off, I can press the Power button to turn it on, or when I hold it for few seconds the back light will be turned off, but press once to turn off. I dont know why, if somthing wrong with the Power button it should be doesnt work at all, that's mean i cannot turn on my phone as well. But other functions of the Power button are still work well, except the 'Turn off' :roll:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] lorenzhaase:
power off doesn't work anymore

I have the same problem here. I can't use the power button to power off my qtek 9090!!

i can use the power button to turn my pda on and to switch the background light on and off - so the "hardware side" of the power button is working.

however, i can't use the power button to turn off the device. it's very annoying, because i can't put it in my pocket after finishing a call :-(

this should be some sort of a software problem - so i hard resetted my device (a couple of times) - but that didn't help!

can anyone help?

thanks,

lorenz
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] robboy:
the ba doesn't turn off it is always on staand by mode. ->settings -> system -> button lock

this will stop any missed call because when the ba is in standby the power button is the only one to work
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] lorenzhaase:
power on is no problem. i can't put my BA into standby mode. if i press the power button while the BA is turned on, nothing will happen. the screen will stay on, the background light stays on.

i have no way to put it into stand-by with the power button!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nomadman:
try this and see if it works. it's a software app that wil rest, shut down, and turn the screen off. just copy it to your BA temp directory and install it.

Add my name to people with this problem.

The only event I can link it to is this: I deleted my Motorola Bluetooth headset and installed a Logitech headset. I noticed the problem (can't turn OFF with POWER BUTTON) soon after that.

I think it is a hardware problem. The contact is not making cleanly. Disassemble and spray time, perhaps.

Hi Frnds,

My device is samsung galaxy s advance. Recently i have updated the phone to official JB. i am happy that there is S Planner app in it , but the bad thing is there is no widget for it. I need to go to apps and open the splanner app always.

is it possible to get a full month calender widget for my phone?

can anyone tell me how to get a full page calender widget ?

I have downloaded few apk files but didnt work .

Note: my phone is not rooted .

sorry if there is already a similar post for this topic.

:angel:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobfrantic:
You should try search and if you did you would find:

SplannerWidget :)

You will have to be rooted at least with a custom kernel that has cwm or twrp. Lots of information on how to do that available, just use "search" and you will find it...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobyme:
thanks for the link

Thanks for the quick response.

so my device need to be rooted with a custom kernel to make this apk installed.

I will be trying to do what you suggested.

am a noob, wish me luck :highfive:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobfrantic:
if you take your time, do some reading, explore the vast amount of information here, do searches for things like kernels, tutorials, root and that sort of thing and you will do fine... and don't be scared of the thanks button :) :good: LOL...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] areeb47:
You just need to be rooted, you don't even need a custom kernel. A root browser app will do the trick, download the zip file provided by bob, open it and extract the apk inside system\app folder. Move it to your phone's system\app folder and set permissions rw-r--r-- :good:

1. un-zip and Install the cool jazz font to your computer

2. Open the template in Photoshop

3. Next we need to make a new layer than select the horizontal text tool and change the text size to 72 pt. Now write what text you want on the lock screen. (you have to write what text you want for the lock screen in the rectangle box or the text wont be on the right spot on the lock screen. also if you have a long text you can change the font size until it fits in the box)

4. now we need to put a shadow on our text. right click on the text layer and go blending options, a window should pop up and then go to drop shadow. now in drop shadow customize the opacity, angle, distance, spread and size until you like it then press ok. (these are the values i used for my text opacity: 82, angle: 135, distance: 7, spread: 7 and size: 5)

5. now you can remove the rectangle layer and save the image as "jog_dial_bg.png" and change the format to png

6. open the textchanger.zip with 7-zip (or something similar) as a archive.

7. now navigate to vrtheme\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ and place your image in here

8. place the textchanger.zip onto your phone

9. now boot into recovery and flash the textchanger.zip

10. reboot your phone and the text should have changed

thanks

Thanks for the responses. I haven't been able to find any forums or threads on the Tab3. Doesn't mean there isn't one, just that I can't find it. I will just wait patiently for a tutorial to come out before I attempt any flashing. I rooted my Galaxy epic touch 4g, and kinda created a monster in myself and can't stand not being able to have control of my devices. Really want to get rid of all the bloatware and load my rooted apps onto my Tab3. Thanks again!

It´s a pity, I bought it like 3 weeks and something ago in Spain and I really like it, but I want to root it and finally see some scene on the works, but after seeing the feedback this device is having also on Spanish Community, I am starting to guess that it will be a long time wait...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICAMP:
Tab 3 waiting time

After reading a bit more about this item, and my own experiences, I think some of the static is justified. This is after all a budget entry level offering. A couple things that have really annoyed me are the internet for public wi-fi. At one time trying to access local coffee shop internet caused a kernel panic. Fun stuff. In general I have also found the internet, specifically chrome, to be so slow, almost to the point of uselessness. Tragic really.

I have a pair of Sennheiser buds with mic and volume control that don't work with this model, I suspect that I will find out that mic and external controls are not supported by this models jack.

And three mute controls?!!? Really?

I'm really looking forward to the rooting of this tablet so I can get the tools to iron out a few kinks, and clear out the deadwood, I hope it comes soon.

I am looking for a stock Android/Non-Sense ROM for my HTC DNA. I've looked high and low throughout this forum and even on Google, but everything keeps pointing me to threads about the DNA's stock ROM and not stock Android.

Either I'm not reading anything right or I have missed something. I would be very greatly if someone can link me to such a ROM or explain to me why there isn't one.
[HTC Droid DNA] shobon:
No, there's is not a stock, vanilla Android rom for the DNA. Checkout out CyanogenMod, it's about as close as you'll get :)

Hi I am pretty new here and unable to post in specific threads of the different roms because of post requirements but I have noticed that all the sense based roms are unable to do one thing and that is play mlb.tv games on the at bat app. It shows an error saying unable to find my location so it won't let me see any of the games at all. This isn't such a huge deal but it would be nice if there is a fix or if anyone is aware of why this is happening. All cm10 roms work fine and don't give me an issue with mlb games so I just find it weird.

I've been using at bat for years and never had an issue.. I watch and listen to games to this day on my HTC one..

I may have the answer for you though. Pull down the shade, tap settings, scroll to developer options, enable developer options with the toggle on the top right, go to allow mock locations and make sure it is NOT checked.

I'm pretty sure this will fix your problem, so enjoy and hit thanks if this helped you.. Have a great day!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
If what [MENTION=2216373]BrianBaker[/MENTION] said doesn't fix it. It could be the same thing as the problem people have with some games, Veetle, or the Watch ESPN app. Here is the fix for that.

If none of that works, it could be an issue with an ad-blocker program. Try disabling ad-blockers if you are doing that.

Hopefully you meant 2.14... If so the boot image from the viper Rom needs to be flashed via fastboot.

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Why do people keep doing this, then are shocked there is no OS?

/system is where the current ROM/OS is stored. If you wipe it, then obviously you will have no OS.

But more more importantly: Don't wipe things if you don't know what they are.

There is no international at&t, there's international quad OR at&t Dual

There is no 2.10 hboot for the dual either. 1.09,1.11,1.14,2.14 <-- Are all I've ever seen.

I would check bootloader to see what the device codename is just to be safe for future reference.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I did some research on this a few days ago. He has the Evita_UTL, which is another version of the dual-core found in the middle east (I'm guessing that's why he's referring to it as the "International" One XL).

The hboot versions are different from ours (I've only seen 2.10 so far), but one person had said that they had successfully loaded one of our ROMs onto one of these things.

Chances are it's safe, but I wouldn't want to risk it. There's very little information available about this model, and I'm not game enough to give advice on it.
