[Miscellaneous Android Development] cernekee:
I spent entirely too much time on this, so I'll post my boot.img and my findings here in case it's useful to anyone else in the future.

Paladin ROMs:

This page and this thread have working links to CWM and Superuser zips.

This page has a link to an ICS 4.0.3 ROM running Linux 3.0.8. I installed this ROM, but was disappointed with the kernel's feature set. Important options like CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT and CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_LOG were disabled.

This page has a custom ROM by "pinkflozd". I wasn't able to find this image in the wild. It may have a newer kernel (3.0.23?) but AFAICT it doesn't have the Netfilter changes I needed either.

Custom kernel build:

I stumbled across this kernel and used it as a baseline. Then I enabled:

Various missing Netfilter features (e.g. LOG and REJECT targets)

CONFIG_TUN

CONFIG_CIFS

The process looks like:

Install CWM

Find the .zip file for the ROM you want to use, e.g. the ICS 4.0.3 link above

Install that ROM and make sure the stock kernel works

Create a new boot.img with the desired options enabled

Flash the new boot.img with CWM

Basic steps to create the new boot.img:

git clone -b paladin-3.0.8 git://github.com/cernekee/linux
cd linux
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd paladin
cp /path/to/boot.img orig.img
make NDK=/opt/android-ndk-r9b
# if desired, edit kernel code or .config, and rerun "make"

The scripts under linux/paladin/ will extract the ramdisk from orig.img, then create a new boot.img based on your kernel source tree. For more details on the kernel build, see paladin/README .

Kernel installation:

To flash the new image, reboot into CWM, then:

adb push boot.img /tmp/
adb shell "dd if=/tmp/boot.img bs=1048576 seek=3 count=8 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 ; sync"
# hit the reset button again

Other random findings:

I did not have any luck with the "z4root" app, although ro.secure=0 on this ROM so "adb shell" always gives you a root shell. It did take some work to find Superuser/su binaries that worked on MIPS.

Enabling Netfilter's conntrack option seemed to cause dhd.ko to become unstable, possibly because it affected binary compatibility with existing kernel modules. So I left it alone.

This ROM is missing native iptables/ip6tables binaries, so AFWall needs to be set to use the builtin copies. The latest AFWall betas do ship with MIPS binaries now (the purpose of this exercise was to test them).

Checking the box to enable IPv6 crashes AFWall instantly. Need to investigate this.

AFWall's inbound connection option probably will not work, due to the lack of conntrack in the kernel.

This ROM appears to be missing some Java libraries needed for ICS+ VpnService apps to work.

NDK r9b is the first NDK release with support for the "MXU" SIMD instructions supported by the Ingenic JZ4770 chip. Prior to this, most people used Ingenic's special toolchain to build the kernel.

To forcibly boot into CWM, hold down VOL+ while pressing the reset button.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magyk:
A few weeks ago, I downloaded OGBatteryMod and installed it on my Nexus 4 running Android 4.3, and with the 4.4 update, I need to get it uninstalled, because I have a feeling it will cause compatibility issues, and all of the themes are Holo-based. My original plan was to just make an .ab file and reset to stock, re-root, restore, and all of that, but now that I think about it, most of it is APK-based, and if I include system apps and data, which I nedd to do, it will stay there. I looked in the post, and there are no instructions on how to uninstall it, and there is nothing in the thread posted by anyone else. I hope you guys can help me out, but if not, I can probably figure something out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiMayne:
I'll try to keep this sweet and short... I accidentally downloaded some random .apk whilst browsing on my phone, but I did NOT have it installed, and Lookout promptly labeled it as a threat. Anyway, since then, I got kinda freaked out, as a seemingly new service popped up on my phone (it was only running about 25 minutes compared to everything else running 7+ hours) which was called Google Secure Element Messaging. The service or whatever is com.google.android.apps.sem, and the actual apk is GSEM, as noted in the title.

I'm making a thread on it because I can't find a SINGLE piece of information on this thing, and hopefully this'll help anyone else who is looking.

So... what the heck is this thing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiMayne:
Anyone?
[HTC Rezound] YTHero:
So I think the capacitive buttons on my Rezound have bit the dust. I was having trouble with CM 10.2, and thought that was the cause. I have since tried various roms that had worked in the past and have tried going back to a stock rom to no avail. I now believe I just have a good old fashioned hardware failure.

I'm trying to figure out a work around, as I can't really afford a new phone currently. Does anyone know if we have any ROMs that have the home and back buttons on them like a Nexus device, (where they are the black and white softkeys at the bottom)?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
All CM10.2 based roms have em, just need to enable the buttons. Using PIE controls is an option also.

To enable the Nav bar, try adding this to your build.prop and reboot.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Edit: Just noticed a typo, cut it from another site, it's fixed now.
[HTC Rezound] YTHero:
Thanks for your reply. I've never edited any build.prop before, I knew you could do that but didn't know why you would or what it did.

I installed CarbonRom to get the nav bar and it seems to work pretty well.

Edit: can I turn off the lights for the capacitive buttons with a build.prop?
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
You can use kernel tuner and slide the slider to 0. That'll disable the lights.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Check to see if Carbon has a Buttons section under the Settings, if so you can turn the brightness off.
[HTC Rezound] YTHero:
I added that line to build.prop in CM 10.2, and nothing changed. Also I couldn't find the pie control options, so I dunno.

Carbon had no buttons section, and I couldn't find an option anywhere else to disable the led lights.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Hmm, you may need expanded desktop on also, I'll try it on mine later.
[HTC Rezound] YTHero:
I found the error, what you typed earlier was wrong - it's "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0".

I changed that, rebooted and now it works.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Sorry, copied that from another thread, guess they had it wrong also..
[HTC Rezound] swing4thefence:
I can confirm that this works on CM11 too.

Recently when my phone has been dying a lot and when I go to charge it reads 48 percent after I plug it in and it charges from there. I'm not sure what the deal is or if I need a new battery or its just about that time for my phone. If anyone can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ayeitschris:
might have to recalibrate your battery. try this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en

if that doesnt work then, reflash rom and kernal.

if that doesnt work, might need to get a new battery :/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm guessing new battery. I've seen similar issues before and that's what usually needed to be replaced.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RedJack117:
Thanks guys I'll try out first method and see if it helps at all if not I'll just buy a new battery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
You could also do two of the following which has helped me on other devices with power problems...

1. The golden contacts on your phone and battery, use a normal pencil eraser and rub slowly to clean any dirt blocking the path of electricity. This can help by allowing the battery and contacts to clearly and completely make a cycle. Remember to clean off the eraser shavings with your hand!

2. Take out the battery and hold down your phones power button for 15 seconds to power drain your device from any small charge that might reside.

If this doesn't work it more than likely means the lithium ion battery is running out of capacity..no big deal it happens. You can pick up an OEM replacement 2100MaH battery from Samsung on eBay for as little as 8$. Or a 7000MaH battery known as ZeroLemon for 40$.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Should you choose to buy a new battery, may I recommend that you get one of the monster power houses of 7000 MAH ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] LinuxGeek:
Hi All,

I can't decide which case to get for my XDA EXEC.

I would like to use it on my belt occasionaly, so one with a belt clip or loop would be preferred.

From your experiences, which case is the best to go for ?

Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] atekant:
The t-mobile 6315 case is the best I tried until now (my 3rd for the Universal). It is a holster type, as in, you carry it on your belt and take the Universal out to use it.

It is a surprisingly good fit, and it is very easy to take the device out and put it back in, at the same time, it is very safe when it is sitting on your belt.

The guy I bought it from at ebay has 2 left

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HP-iPAQ-OEM...840044486QQcategoryZ15036QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

And it costs you 1/4 of anything else you are going to buy out there.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] LinuxGeek:
Doesn't look like he ships to the UK though !
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] weatheryoko:
Does size matter?

atekant,

I looked up the dimensions of the iPAQ 6315 and compared them to the JasJar. Here they are:

iPAQ JasJar

118.872 mm 127.7 mm

74.93 mm 81 mm

18.542 mm 25 mm

So based on the demensions posted by HP and imate, the JasJar is larger than the 6315. Since I'm used to seeing demensions in inches/feet, I have no idea if these differences are significant. Do you find that the case is too small? Did you have to modify it? Because if not, I may end up purchasing one from www.casesonline.com, but get a slightly different color combo than the one you found on ebay. Thank you for any help.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] sclui56:
This same guy has 52 under a different listing, very quick delivery BTW.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5771486213&category=15036#ebayphotohosting

weather, the fit is perfect, not tight and not loose, the Uni just goes in & out easily, yet the clip is tight on the belt. This is actually near identical to the HP case (larger one) selling for U$49 retail.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] atekant:
weatheryoko

I had the same questions when ordering it, and I was quite sure it would end up being too tight, but it is not tight at all.

The front, back, and the flip cover (with magnetic closure) is leather (I mean fake leather like substance, but not bad). The bottom, and the sides are elastic bands (about 1 inch wide) and have enough give to let the Universal slide in, and at the same time hold it tight enough.

You flip open the top and the case opens like a change purse would so you can slide your fingers in to grab the device.

I have stopped looking for a case for the Universal, that is how happy I am with it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] weatheryoko:
Thank you both....

Wow, that was a fast reply. Thank you. It sounds like I may the specific case that you bought (with the elastic bands on the side). So I might hold off on buying the one from casesonline. One last question..... Is there a slot to hold SD cards? Thanks again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] sclui56:
Has 2 slots. Go for it, best $12 I ever spent ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
I got mine yesterday. First when I open it, I felt :( as it seems it was made from not such a high quality material.

But when I try to use it, I was extremelly happy.

It was indeed made for the Universal! It fits very well, and very comfortable to put in the Universal and take it out. The belt clip is very nice as well. Finally, I reach the point where I can stop hunting for a perfect case for my Universal. I have tried few before: the original case that I modified with a belt clip, the metal case, and a PDA keyboard case. And this one is the best and I'm going to use it with my Universal from this point forward.

I feel upset with imate or HTC though, if they can sell a device with $1000 price, they should be able to include such a perfect case that only cost $5.

I guess this case is just perfectly made for Universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
Some pictures of this case

Here are some pictures of my Universal case for the benefits of all of you. Like I said, it simply fits the Universal nicely. Look at the bottom cut, this allows you to take out the Universal easily. And I have no more problem with the stylus flying out when pulling the Universal out of the case (the problem with the original Universal case). Best value for the price ($5 plus tax and shipping, around $14) that you can get.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
Does it have a belt clip or a belt loop? You missed taking a picture of the back. Please. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ghl10000:
Hi,

strange that there is - still - no separate "carrying case" with a holster available for the i-mate JASJAR / Qtek 9000 other than cases offering complete insertion of the device thus being forced also to work with the device inserted.

Good news:

Expansys will be offering one, watch out here

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125516

Bad news:

It is EUR 53 here in Europe, which is quite a lot :-(

Second: Expansys is not really renowned for keeping the price it announces before availability of product, neither do they keep dates of delivery. (This product was first announced as "available before Christmas", then 23 Dec., then 2 Jan., now 6 Jan. in Europe, which is a public holiday in many countries here...)

Expansys says the manufacturer is "Premier Systems", though Google does not seem to know a manufacturer under this name.

Obviously this is just some fantasy brand producing for Expansys ???

Does anyone know who is producing this case or hides behind "Premier Systems" ?

(Strange enough that none of the big case manufacturers: Covertec, Krusell, ... offers such a case for the device.)

As my last PDA was an iPAQ 4700, for which I purchased the original holster case, I tried it out for my Qtek 9000 (identical with the im-mat JASJAR).

Almost fits perfectly :-)

(Bad: Now my iPAQ, which is still a cute device, however lacking GSM connectivity, is "naked"...)

The 6315 is similar in size to the hx4700 afair, though I never saw the case one guy described here (attached photos a few posts downwards).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
Ok, there we go. The back of the case.

Its a belt clip, not a loop. Very comfortable, its not moving around, not too lose, not too tight, just perfect.

Originally I was thinking to buy that XaX case as well, but its too expensive ($50?) and there is an opening on top intended for the headphone, but I dun like it considering if there is a rain drop into it, that's it.

I also want to know the tightness of fit, 'cause maybe it's an idea to order the large one, because of possible larger batteries (see this thread on that subject:http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=28616&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Tron_Of_Borg:
My case is extra cheap. I had an old universal camera pouch that had a belt loop. This pouch is made of elastic fabric. By simply pushing my HTC case into this pouch, it expands as needed and grips tightly enough that the HTC case doesn't come out when I pull the phone out.

I put some 3x5 cards in the case so you can see the thickness as the Exec is black.

It may not be a perfect case, but it's what I had laying around and it works great.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
I just got the case, I have to admit the case they recommended was a bit tight, lucky for me it fits my TH55, so I am re-ordering the LARGE size for my EXEC as I hate to tug and pull it out, it might go off flying on its own.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ng:
Hey,

I was checking the piel frama site and noticed that the only difference between the big and medium sized universal pda cases was that the big one is 10 mm taller. That sucks, because the tight fit is most likely due to the thickness of the device. So, I'm still not sure what is a good idea to buy.

btw, I came across this other pouch case from proporta. http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=1354&t_mode=des

This looks ok to me too, although compared to piel frama case, the piel frama case looks sturdier.[/url]
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
The proporta case you showed above does not provide protection from above, it seems. I'd stick with Piel Frama case. I'll let you know how the BIG SIZE Piel Frama case fits on my EXEC. I already ordered one.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
OK, I just got the BIG SIZE Piel Frama case. I can definitely say that the Big size does not fit the Universal very well. It is bigger in thickness and not the width. So I can basically recommend to get the MEDIUM size case for the Universal, the one they suggested in the first place, even though it is a tight fit, I assume with time it will loosen up.

I'm really at a loss, in fact last night I spent about 2 hours trying to decide which one I wanted. I need one with a belt clip of some kind, but I'm not too keen on a 360 degree swivvle job as I believe this would be more prone to malfunction.

I nearly bought this one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/7866.htm

but wondered if anyone else has got it? I like the idea of it being horiztontal and it being a sturdy belt clip rather than a detachable one.

I also saw this one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8075.htm

as I like the way it protects the edges of the phone and looks very sturdy...but there is no beltclip.

This one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/7749.htm

has a beltclip but looking at it in more detail, if it were to malfunction and drop there doesn't appear to be too much protection of the phone. In fact some of the supports look a little weak. At least the others cover nearly the whole phone should it be dropped.

I don't like this one at all: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8407.htm

Large area remains exposed (though through plastic) and the clip looks very weak.

Can anyone share quickly their experiences with any of these as this is doing my nut in!

Cheers
