[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
Wait wait wait...Sky Go works when you just unroot... Even on a custom ROM? I'm on cloudyflex I need to try this. ROM has a hide keys option per app anyway :)

Do you still have custom recovery??

OK unrooted play store says SkyGo is not compatible with my device. Got a feeling that's related to something in my build.prop can you upload yours please mate from your ROM so I can make some changes to mine to get it working? Thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsie41:
I've just un-rooted cloudystock with supersSU pro and kept custom recovery and everything else the same and, yes, the sky apps worked fine as did the rom :) . For me, this is just what I wanted and I was very surprised that it works, including hide nav keys.

Now I want to try to create a completely stock 80220d but with the navbar mod included then unroot it. I have pm'd cloudya about which files from the cloudy stock rom that I require but haven't had a reply yet.

....didn't you create a flashable 80220d zip somewhere? I can't seem to find it. I am not very experienced at this and I guess by your response that you are interested in the same thing and perhaps you will be better at this than me?

EDIT I changed ro.build.target_country from COM to EU for another reason. Perhaps this might help?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
I changed fingerprint and a few other bits back to d802 in build.prop, removed root. Now running cloudyflex. Can hide keys per app in options. And can watch sky go. Perfect.

Im using a Wireless HDD (AGOSY Network Drive) connected to an AP to give it wireless capabilities. This has been installed wth a 12V connection to be able to be powered from the car battery.

I am having probems with the file system when its acessed from the PDA especialy. The enclusure is ARGOSY Network enclosure and when playing media from TCPMP/MediaPayer or PocketPlayer or any other movie player, seeking is not possible and most .AVI files are not playable from within the HDD. While the same .AVI files if copied to the StorageCard the seeking works fine and the vdeos which don't play directly from Wireless system play well directly from the storage card.

Is anyone having the same problem with their wireless network drive or is this a problem with the type of network encosure used?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ady:
hmmm... can you play it from your computer share? through wireless or USB
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] finghard:
i dont quite understand your question. :?

i have an asus wl-hdd 2.5 and a o2 exec

from standard i could find the hard drive through wifi and form a partnership but i was unable to browse the contents of the hard drive

to remedy this i installed resco file explorer , this then gives you a network file which you will have to map,

you are unable to search for files through tcmp or wm player but with resco installed you can search the directory of your hard drive and press on what you want to play.

i find tcmp a better player for media streaming than wm player
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] finghard:
i think i now understand your question when you mean seeking do you mean the time slider.

if so yes i can place it in a chosen spot and play the movie from that spot.

there will be a few second time lag before it initiates playing.

1 what speed is you wireless hard drive connection

2 what size are the movies you are trying to play

3 what resolution are the movies you are trying to play

i find that 640x480 movies will jam up quite alot but 320x240 movies work smoothly

if it jams up i normaly lose my wifi connection (must confuse the hard drive os)
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
I'm looking for an email app that can handle multiple email accounts. Originally I was using both GMail and Outlook but as soon as GMail started adding ads that could not be deleted I dropped both apps and switched back to Aqua Mail. Now I'm having a problem with Aqua Mail and can't get a resolution from the official forums.

I've since switched to Blue Mail but it seems to be a heavy app and is draining my battery. Plus, I don't get any type of notification when I get emails even though I have it setup to do so.

So, what is everyone using and what can you suggest?

[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
I used to use K9 as well, but there was something really goofy about their UI I didn't like. I'll give them a go again.

OK, I tried it again, now I remember why I didn't like it. I use Hotmail/Outlook and I can receive emails but can't send them.
[Moto X Q&A] FSRBIKER:
I use Aquamail
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
I've been using Aquamail for years. But about 3 days ago it stopped working. I asked about it on their forums and got no answer. This isn't the first time I've had problems with Aquamail; I've tried to stay loyal to it since I paid for it. But I'm just sick of it working, then not working for no apparent reason.

I just installed K9 this morning. Seems to be working well enough for now. I haven't had time to sit down and mess with some of it's features yet.
[Moto X Q&A] buffalo_guy:
Mail Droid

I have been using Maildroid for some time and highly recommend it. It is highly customizable and easily supports multiple accounts. The developer quickly responds to problems and there is decent web support.
[Moto X Q&A] ForSquirel:
I use K@Mail, don't know why I never went to K9. Works well with multiple accounts and PGP integration. Couldn't ask for anything more.

I too have same problem before ... just now switched to Thunderbird ... its open source and stable... we can get it for windows and Mac .... But there is no official Android application from mozilla.... am using third party android application at this moment, try and let me know your feedback
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
I honestly don't like it's features. It also bothers my eyes. Weird I know but eh...
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
I remember using MailDroid years ago when it first came out. Haven't given it a second look before today. It looks like it's got a lot of really nice features. I'm downloading it now.
[Moto X Q&A] chaoslimits:
Stock email client is very good. Just don't use it for gmail. It will kill your battery from my experience.

[Moto X Q&A] devilsdouble:
+1 for AquaMail. That's the only email app I can find according to my needs. Another decent one is infamous K9. GMail is the worst email app I have ever used, I uninstall it practically after flashing a new ROM / wiping the phone.
[Moto X Q&A] jrpbulk:
I use stock for hotmail and gmail only issue I have for the exchange hotmail is you can't empty the trash in one click.
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
I had been using Aquamail for the past several years. Except about a week ago Gmail stopped syncing to it and I couldn't get it working. I also got not answer on the Aquamail forums. Decided it was time to move on.

The only reason I stopped using Gmail is because of their new ad feature. They send you ads that are disguised as emails and then don't allow you to delete them. Once I dropped Gmail I dropped Exchange as well and went back to Aquamail. Aquamail stopped working three months after I put it on my phone. So it got dropped too. I tried Droidmail, didn't like some of it's features. I'm currently using K9.
[Moto X Q&A] Rob_Storm:
I use Inomail. Handles multiple accounts as well as allows html signatures. IMAP, POP, and all the others.
[Moto X Q&A] tatozimmermann:
Mailbox

I use Mailbox. Only for Gmail/iCloud tho. Good for keeping the emails in the right place and the inbox clean.
[Moto X Q&A] DANIEL AMBRUSO:
Did you try "SPARROW" Email app ?
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
Ok, I'm starting to think it's an issue with the phone and not any particular app. Now K9 is not working. Does anyone have any idea what I can look for?
[Moto X Q&A] sh0ebox:
CloudMagic for me... very happy with it. Hoping it gets the ability to manage gmail labels properly someday though!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcornelis:
hi guys!

First of all : I'm new to the custom rom scene development. I do know how to flash and so..

So i've installed cygwin and the android kitchen. I took the stock rom provided to me by the manufacturer, i was able to set up the working folder. Then I did : "Build ROM from working folder", without making any changes to apk's or something like that.

When i got the update.zip file i tried flashing it with a recovery and using the update.zip in /sdcard method. The first method just stopped after verifying, the second method said it was an invalid package.

I believe there is something wrong with the signing of the rom. Could you guys help me out?

Thx!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.trololol:
do you installed java jdk?

how do you make rom using kitchen,via cwm backup or else.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KalleEatingBrain:
Hi folks,

I just started to port UbuntuTouch for the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and I think I should have a *.zip ready for testing in 2 weeks.

Until then, I will use this thread as a scrap book to document all the troubles I run into, all the things that needed my special attention and fixes that are not that obvious. I hope there will be some fellas brave enough to test everything and report back or even to join me with the development.

Best regards,

Kalle

First Update:

I found that the Ubuntu Touch version that ist based on CyanogenMod was not updated to a more recent version. This means that I have to either look into AOSP or backport everything to CM-10.1. I think backporting is kinda stupid because newer we are writing new software to improve things. Sadly I don't have much experiance with AOSP so I will have to find out how everything works and what the differences to CyanogenMod are.

The good news is, that I'm catching up with the mailing list, which means I'll have a place to call for help.

Also I'm in the progress to start a git repo, but I'm unsure what I will need to add, maybe some common stuff from sony does not need to be changed.

So long,

Kalle

Update!

There is a new porting guide! See here

I already freed some space for it and ordered a bit more ram so after my exam next week, I'll pick this up/Start all over.

Hope you are as excited as I am,

Kalle

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kohelet:
How are you doing on this? I've just started working on this as well and am curious to know how far along you've gotten/what issues you've run into.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kohelet:
So I've gotten the build to start, but I'm running into issues with libhybris:

ubuntu/hybris/compat/media/media_codec_layer.cpp:51:40: fatal error: gui/IGraphicBufferProducer.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

make: *** [out/target/product/togari/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libmedia_compat_layer_intermediates/media_codec_layer.o] Error

I'll post here once I've found a solution.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KalleEatingBrain:
Yeah, thats as far as I got, too. :-/ I tried removing all different libs or compiling different parts and leaving others out but I couldn't get any futher. Also I saw your post to the mailing list but it seems like you wont get a helpful reply either. As far a I could track this problem is the incompatibility of togari CM-11 and the ubuntu AOSP source tree. On xda-university there is a guide for porting from CM to AOSP which I will try but maybe you should take a look, too. Anyways: Great to see there is someone else except lazy me working on this.

Best regards,

Kalle
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kohelet:
I actually got past the libhybris issue. The problem was that the porting guide is out of date. It's based on using cm-10.1 whereas the current source for Ubuntu is based on cm-11.0. So if you use 4.4.2 instead instead of 4.2.2 then it works. But there are so many other issues and the documentation for fixing them is so poor. I've kept a running list of problems I've come across and the solutions for them (it's below).

Also they dropped the whole UCM thing so you should be able to get sound working once you actually get a working build, but I couldn't get it to build. The error that is currently in my way has to do with "No rule to make target signapk.jar needed by com.qualcomm.location" or something or other. And I found nothing on how to solve that online.

At this point I've decided to take a short break from the whole thing because it's so frustrating. :P

Once I get motivated to work on it again, I'll probably start from scratch.

Issues List (I apologize for not being specific about the errors, I didn't write them down verbatim):
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Thanks for that list, it's sure to help some one. I think I have had most of those errors in trying to get aosp to build.

Can I copy those errors to my [DEV]Random thoughts thread?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kohelet:
Sure, feel free. I built CM for all my devices and regretted not keeping such a list when I did that. So now every time I work on a build I keep lists like that. Eventually, when I have a working build, I'll post a guide for how to build following the same steps I took.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yeh carbon and slim were easy to build, and simple fixes. AOSP on the other hand I wish I had kept a build log
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KalleEatingBrain:
Ah nice, when I last checked CM-11.0 was not working with the 4.4.2r2 branch. I think I know how to fix the problem with the *.apk. Basically you have to remove all java dependencies from all the makefiles. I will look it up, so I can tell you what to grep for. Do you have a git repo we can work on, or should I add you to mine (which is just a fork of the CM-repos)? I will take a look at the sound in the next days. Thanks for you list!

Keep it up,

Kalle
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kohelet:
That could potentially be a major source of my problems. i wasn't aware of that.

All I have at the moment is a fork of the CM repos. Feel free to add me to your repo. My username on Github is Kohelet as well. I can start to look into removing java dependencies as well.

As for the sound, the mailing list made it appear as if it was a simple matter of running

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/landing-018
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-droid

I could be wrong though.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kohelet:
It would seem that the UT wiki does somewhat describe this process. This article discusses building UT from fresh AOSP sources (making your own changes). Perhaps that is what needs to happen here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KalleEatingBrain:
Better documentation incoming

Hi,

I attended the ubuntu-on-air session on tuesday and was told that some devs might take a look at the porting guide in the Ubuntu Touch Wiki which is - what the guys from cannonical admitted - hopelessly outdated. I was told, the developement went on so fast, there was no time to document it for the community. They are getting money for OEM/RTM installation of Ubuntu Touch, so they are focusing on that, even though the community ports are an essential part of the project. I will update this post, as I come to know when the update of the porting guide will happen.

Best regards,

Kalle

If someone is reading this but does not know how to contribute: Why not donate some money to donations@ubuntu.com via PayPal and claim that you want a better porting guide? Might speed up the whole affair.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kohelet:
That's good to know! In the mean time, I'll start looking at the builds for odin to see if I can determine enough from that to get a working build for togari.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velvetmxo:
How is this coming along?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kohelet:
Any new developments on this front? I recently moved so I haven't been getting after it lately, but I'm still curious to see this continue....

Part of me is thinking that since the kernel sources are on github it might be easier to start with the kernel and build UT from there instead of working from the CM parts....

Thoughts?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KalleEatingBrain:
postponed

Hi,

Following the mailing list the RTM is more of a priority than the porting to new devices, so I'm waiting for this to pass. Anyways, I looked at the possibility to use a "handbuild" kernel and than adding system and stuff from another device. i assume there are already plenty of How-Tos and guides about decompiling the kernel and editing the ramdisk and also compiling the android kernel and adding desirable features, but if you want me to I could do a write-up in [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] s dev thread.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Actually, now that our beloved Masters of Development are getting pure AOSP sources working for our devices, I think this may be easier to do.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Kohelet:
Unfortunately, it seems that the Ubuntu Touch team is primarily focused on completing work for the BQ and Meizu phones that will be sporting Ubuntu Touch. That said, significant changes have been made to the OS that make the current porting guide completely unusable for porting. Which means people who want to port are left to do a lot of heavy lifting on their own with no support from the team working on the core of the OS because, as KalleEatingBrain mentioned, porting is just not a priority of theirs at the moment.

I've been monitoring their IRC and mailing list for relevant updates when I have time, but for the moment I've found it wouldn't be a good use of time to bang my head against Ubuntu Touch. Especially when the documentation of it is seriously outdated with no sign of being updated any time soon.
