Dev section is already Co - dominated by [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] and [MENTION=744737]JoshBeach[/MENTION], and rightfully so. These dudes are awesome. :D

Agreed, but forum clutter is forum clutter......and this guy knows better. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chaosrecords:
Kind of playing devil's advocate here, but I dont expect many threads here, just lots of replies.

Im glad they are separate.. I don't know if you saw the jellybomb note 2 thread.. but when i google search something, or search xda ( even in thread search), its next to impossible to sort through 30,000+ replies.

Dedicated thread will make it MUCH EASIER for people like me to find what i need for a specific mod and not spend hours digging through "Hey guys how do i know if i have root?" or something that was 10 versions ago.

Would be cool if XDA could have threads similar to how Wowhead.com is ( world of warcraft database) It auto separates replies/comments based on patch number.. could be really handy for people like Josh who update thier rom every week with huge changelogs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshBeach:
agreed. we need a sticky section. then I will lock all the threads so they flow to the bottom. I will reach out to a moderator and see if we can get a sticky section..

as far as "dev dominance" no such thing. Me, Steve and Freeza are all on the same team, we share everything, we talk daily. and so far, no other dev has even posted anything in any of those threads. It certainly isn't like that/ LOL

I will see if we can get a Guide/Sticky section.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshBeach:
[MENTION=2635082]12MaNy[/MENTION]

Ok. I spoke to Kenny. Just waiting on the mods to make a decision.

My suggestion was to create 1 devdb thread. We sticky it. And lock all other guides so they fall to the bottom. The 1 devdb thread can have up to 3 devs access to op. We can also have a q&a thread attached to it for users for all the guides. Need a RC to help answer questions. Development questions amd new guides can be added to the stickied devdb thread in development. This will allow for a less cluttered environment for users.

We will see if the mods have a better idea.

Furthermore, those that know me know that I could care less about any type of notoriety. Also the only other development in the forum so far is by guys on my own team. I put out guides to help others learn how to add these mods and conribute more custom work. The more devs we get the more cool stuff we can all colaborate on together. Just my 2 cents.

Anyways. Back to development.. :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] slowdyve:
Hi.

I don't have any problems like wifi dropping while browsing at my home, college or gf's house.

But when i turn off the screen after a while (can be 5 minutes or 30 minutes) my downloads stop (big games from the store, torrents,etc). They resume after i turn on the screen.

Also messages received from email and messengers are unpredictable. For example, while writing this post, i received a notification from hangouts on my N7 5 minutes after i received on my S3. Other times i only get the notification if i turn on the screen.

The battery status and wifi analyzer show me wifi was always on.

On wifi settings, keep wifi on during sleep option is always on, like i want.

This happens on 3 different locations with 3 different isp's.

This doesn't happen with my other 2 android devices.

Any ideas?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] brainwash123:
By analyzing the firmware update of a Toshiba TV I own some GPL text popped up. The TV actually has a menu that describes the OSS used, accompanying licenses and the means to request source code.

After writing an email I have received the offer to have the source code for the GPL code only, even though I specifically asked for a compilable format:

"

We can provide the only GPL source code.

We cannot provide that are licensed except for GPL.

Due to the mention above, it is not possible to install executable binary.

"

Since my intention is to replace some of the built-in apps (Youtube, Media Player) with my own versions how should I go about this ?

1. Should I push for a source code offer that is able to produce flashable binaries? The only user-accesible way to update the TV is via Ethernet/WiFi or USB.

2. Should I request help from someone to help me fully decompile the binaries so I can have access to the linked resources (drivers, apps, basically the file system) ?

As far as I was able to dig out, the TV is based on Linux, U-boot, some Webkit derivative. I suspect the processor is MIPS-based ("VDLinux 1.1.x MIPS 2010-02-13") but I cannot find any mention of this. The browser identifies itself as ~ "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; B AL) eWebKit/534.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) HbbTV/1.1} ". The panel is sourced by MSTAR which is probably providing most of the LCD boards for TV and projector makers.

I have no idea where to post this but this forum seems like a good start.

Need to spam 10 questions to be able to ask in developers forum? :)
[About XDA developers] xsenman:
The very opposite of what you are thinking mate. Basically this is a community, so those who want to join are first told to

1) Use the search , instead of asking a question, as it is and has been asked by someone else and already answered . Do not spam

2) Read, research and learn by looking in the right direction, Do not spam

3) When reading the threads, you may come across, some interesting things and there you can make your own suggestions and or your findings, Do not spam

4) Specific Q&A threads are available for most phones, where you can ask questions, seek advice from others using similar phone like yours. Do not spam.

5) How do you find these threads? use the search, a few available on each forum . Do not Spam.

6) There are even OT threads ( off topic) meant for members to have some fun, but not meant for beginners as you should at least have made 10 posts that had increased your knowledge or increased others by giving advice. This community wants you to learn and walk the walk that all member's had to go through, just like citizens of a country have to undergo certain criteria to be a citizen of that country.

So, there you have it, its not about you learning to spam but about you learning and achieving the status of an XDA member

Again, if you learnt to spam, you may be penalized so avoid it at all cost making ten useful posts will only take a short time for anyone wishing to learn as well as teach others. try involving in a discussion thread, it will be over within hours

So Do not Spam :D

Thank you,

I have searched like 8 days. From developer forum I would like to ask somebody how / where he saved his imei, but I am blocked by rules.

Also I am wondering why need a captcha here, once I am logged in.
[About XDA developers] xsenman:
well, you don't need to ask such a question in the developers forum, there are phone specific forums, which you should and can use. Click the WIKI button on top of any forum and you can locate your phone's WIKI page or your can use the general forum for such questions, either you will get an answer by a Member or the Moderator will move your post to the specific Phone forum. So you must subscribe to your post, such that you will know where it has been moved to.

let me give you an idea on

general forums A, or B

Q & A Forums A, or B,

Now if you look at Q&A, forums there are sticky threads for practically any question or phone by noobs

Mind you, above are only for people who cannot locate their phone model in the search . So when there is a specific forum for your phone , there is also a Q&A thread in that forum.

Now to answer your question about IMEI, just look here and here

Most of all, when you seek help, always inform your phone brand and model and its current ROM and whatever you did .

Not sure what captcha you are getting but it may not be an XDA issue

Thanks for tring to help me with rules. I use Google day by day many hours...

My Phone is THL W8S.

Because I have clicked the Format in SP Flash tool and I have flashed all, what is in the Official rom I lost IMEI, Serial number + MAC address.

Recovering a Samsung phone differs from this. Samsung phone are more popular and has more posts.

I have found a non working MKT Tools which can set IMEI , tryed but can't.

It seems it happens with others too: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2403718

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45771101&postcount=2 here is asking who has installed. I wanted to share my opinion and can't again, because those 10 post rule...
[About XDA developers] xsenman:
I just typed THL W8S in the XDA search and I get all these threads

Basically IMEI editing/switching is an issue that is considered illegal in most countries and the scope of discussion will be limited in XDA, you should try to solve it by flashing the Oldest, Earliest stock ROM, that your phone was shipped with, not by using a custom ROM. That is the only way you can recover it by software solution.

By trying to use a ported ROM, you will fail to achieve it, is my experience and knowledge concerning IMEI, as explained in the links I gave you earlier.

Now If I were you, I would search the above threads and identify the ROM, your phone was shipped with , that would be the solution to recover your IMEI.

Anyway, just a few more posts and you can post in the thread of your choice but if you must post now, you can just PM me the question and I will post for you on any thread you want:victory: so long as its not an illegal issue

[About XDA developers] matheszabi:
I have the invoice and I have the original box which has the IMEI + SN.

Also under my battery is the IMEI + SN. Those I want back, not anything else. Like I told I have searched the forum, also I know for UK is illegal to alter IMEI. In my country I don't know, but I don't want different than the original. I want exactly that what I have on my phone printed.

From those forums I got the engineering mode, where I could set the IMEI, but after factory reset it is lost again.

Somewhere in NVRAM is stored, but I don't know where, how.

Thinking as how it would set it as a Manufacturer: first time need to set all software parts, than I would add the identify parts => those are independent from software.

At booting, recovery is already available, should be, than it should be stored, loaded before that. With boot.img, but separated, because:

If they make a ROM avaialble and if has a hardcoded IMEI, than everybody would have the same IMIEI, who flash it.

The folder structure of original ROM looks like this:

When I have flashed with Flash tool I have flashed with all option checked, so flashed the Radio part too. Was noob enough to not make a backup, so I can't recover from backup, but If you want I can make a photo from by phone backside and see the original IMEI + SN and from phone screenshot to see those.
[About XDA developers] xsenman:
No one is doubting its your phone and you made a mistake by not taking a efs backup before flashing. And I have encountered numerous persons having this issue in the XDA forums as well as through Personal Messaging. Its a very difficult issue for some and even Mobile Technicians have problem identifying whether its a software or hardware issue. As unknown baseband or baseband failure will also cause this problem.

I personally know ( have discussed with them) maybe some 50 or more persons who had spent weeks and months trying to get it resolved on their units and nothing worked . Not trying to discourage you but its the reality of this issue. Some Chinese sites do host MTK tools that they claim worked for them but for XDA it will be an illegal issue. I know for Samsung units Riffbox like Z3X, octupus box & SPT box can fix it but do not have any idea about your phone.

I doubt anyone in XDA can help as MOD's have specific guidelines to STOP such discussions.

Than I have loaded the scatter file from the ROM provided in previous screen.

Than I have pressed the Download with all fields checked: prom Preloader to whatever is the last item - very similar as how it shows in this screen.

Like I told I have lost all NVRAM related stuff. Or at Format or at full download step. I haven't made backup.

I can't believe.... who started this min 10 post thing?!

This site was first or they one with this cazzy rule?
[About XDA developers] xsenman:
well, finally, you have reached the correct destination, here in this gsm forum, you can find some technicians guide to solving it or they will tell you which Riff box will solve it and which one you should buy and provide support for it too. Normally I direct all those who had the IMEI problem to this destination and I know a particular XD from china who bought a box to solve his IMEI problem and now doing business with it in china.

But don't complain about rules, you would be surprised in some sites you need to answer questions in their mother tongue every-time you had to post for the initial ten posts. Even though they are simple questions, like how many fingers in your hand, imagine how difficult it can be when you don't speak that language.

Have been there and done that too, so get over it and solve your problem :laugh:

it seems flashing a new ROM will change the serial number:

it happens with other too

Need to know more about flashing ROM process.

Maybe there is a smart update script, which save the original serial number and doesn't override, maybe it will override always.
[About XDA developers] xsenman:
That's why I advised you to search for the version of ROM, your device shipped with, so that it will read the IMEI embedded in your chip and register it correctly. Also what my first post about IMEI conveys, so if you use a custom ROM or ported ROM, you will get into this mess, when you have failed to backup your efs folder before flashing

The reason being it was not meant for your phone but for a different phone by a different manufacturer , not only that some ROM's can change your combo keys to.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ColinSlater:
Am I the only one to fnd that WM5 is a complete waste of time and not worth upgradong for let alone buying. It is in fact a huge step back from 2003.

First of all the flaky Activesync 4 which has had minimal testing on anything approaching a real world PC. How could any developer worth anything have not tested this on a machine with half-decent secruity measures, especially moving the sync protocol to use the TCP/IP stack. TCP/IP -> firewall -doh! (not the laughable toy Windows Firewall either).

Onto the operating system itself, where do I start?

1. The new "improved" memory management???? where is the improvement. How can you class something an improvement when it slows everything down, makes usability more difficult.

2. The communications manager. ....why???? a dumb interface hiding access to needed functions, especially when you are setting up a wireless access, why put on a pointless window just to be able to "switch on" a function???

3.GPRS why hide functionality again? Why remove the connect option from the icon on the top bar. Why do I have to start an internet explorer session just to connect to GPRS?

4.Messaging. Why remove the send/receive button? now we have to press menu then navigate to the send/receive function. So much easier to use...I think not... and why is Outlook email the default, we are not all corporate clones yet

5.Contacts. Where are all the customisation funtions, why can't i arrange the display to suit me. Why can't i select more than one contact at a time, which bright spark of an MS designer (whose only experience of the real world is the trip to the coffee machine) thought it was a good idea to only select one contact at a time....

6. Uninstall programmes, doesn't work properly, stupid error message about not being able to uninstall completley, then bits being left over even in soft reset, making a hard reset inevitable. double doh!!!

7.Installation failures, for example installing MS own voice command, warns not to install on anything but main memory but then when that is selected comes up with a classic null error message, and takes up over 50% of the program memory anyway.

For those of us who haven't got time to sit and devise brilliant technical workarounds, for us who have to deal with an irate user group having this approximation of an upgrade forced upon them. WM5 is a complete waste of space.

:twisted: :evil: :x
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] KTamas:
Re: WM5 Complete waste of time - don't touch it with a barge

1. Yes, with Persistent Storage we somehow lost more than we gained. Sure, if your battery goes down to 0, you won't lose your data, but the cost of this is a serious speed decrease. It was one of the reasons I went back to 2003SE. (Note: WM5 is slow not just on BA, but on every device; if you think it is slow because this is a leaked version, its not true...)

2-3. I don't use too much gprs/wifi

4. The loved/hated softkeys...i personally liked them, but most of the ppl hates it and somewhere i understand them too.

5. Pocket Informant rules.

6. It worked well for me..

7. Yes, i got some install problems too.

And one more thing that made me downgrade: ActiveSync 4. That sh*tty thing is:

a) Slow syncing

b) Slows down the device too

c) buggy

d) connection errors

e) slow syncing

f) have i mentioned how slow and buggy it is?...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Roel_Wessels:
Active sync problems

I too had problems using ActiveSync 4 Beta. Since this is a beta this is understandable.

As of yesterday, the current version of ActiveSync 4 is version 4.1 (an final version).

It can be downloaded from Microsoft via http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx

Maybe you should try that. It works much bettter (faster, more stable) for me.

Regards,

Roel.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] BGJr:
Is that version of activesync (4) suitable for BAs running WM20003SE? And would you reccomend 'upgrading' to it?
