[General Questions and Answers] lordkennedy99:
Hello!

What programming languages do you need to know in order to make a custom Android ROM? Currently, I have no knowledge of any programming languages other than very low-level Java basics. I cannot seem to find a definitive answer anywhere. I wish to change the color scheme (and make it customizable), change system app colors and styles, prevent many background apps from running, and emulate another dektop/home screen on a monitor (like the Chromecast, except with a new UI and through a Micro-USB). I'd also like to support Mult-Tasking windows (so you can have a setup like Calculator and Google Docs open at the same time in the same screen for work or homework). These windows will be adjustable and movable (also can minimize or full screen them). If there is any one language I could learn to do these things, that would be prefered. Eventually, I'd like to add more features to the ROM. I'd like to learn of all languages used to do these things, and ones that will prepare me for the future of development. Thanks!

"What programming languages do you need to know in order to make a custom Android ROM? " >> NONE!

"change the color scheme (and make it customizable), change system app colors and styles, prevent many background apps from running" >> NONE!

" emulate another dektop/home screen on a monitor (like the Chromecast, except with a new UI and through a Micro-USB)" >> This guy here is tough. You probably might need to know advanced java, perl, C++ and Python mabye

"support Mult-Tasking windows" >> NONE! (repo.xposed.info/module/com.lovewuchin.xposed.xmultiwindow)(add http before repo)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Curb71:
I have a phone I took for a swim in the lake that I am thinking about selling online. Do I leave the SIM card or keep the SIM card?

Same type question, when I buy a used Note 3 online do I care if it comes with a SIM card or not? Do I want to keep my SIM card and use it in the phone I'm going to buy?

It seems like mixed decisions about what the SIM card really does.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
If it were a GSM phone you'd definitely take your SIM. For CDMA, leave it in. It's a pain in the ass for the buyer to get another one sometimes and there's no reason why you should take it out (unless you're just out to cause grief).
[Verizon LG G3] budven:
What is the first thing you will do with your phone? Remove bloatware? root? etc.
[Verizon LG G3] thedanks:
Probably install clash of clans and hayday hahaha..

[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
That applies new emphasis to the attribute of, "flesh tones". Giggity giggity giggity
[Verizon LG G3] thedanks:
Went to install clash of clans... it comes preloaded lol.
[Verizon LG G3] Chilidog:
Your joking right? That's literally the only game I play on my phone.
[Verizon LG G3] thedanks:
not joking. i am pretty sure it was preloaded. i went to the app store and it said installed, i chose not to restore backups from my google account. it didn't restore any other apps.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
First thing I did was install all my personal apps, then debloated VZW junk.

One thing I always like to do with new phones is go through all of the preloaded ringtones and notification sounds. Some of them are so hilariously bad I'm actually tempted to use them.
[Verizon LG G3] jossicruz:
First thing I did was enable ART in developer settings. I recommend you all do the same!
[Verizon LG G3] Tillmorn:
The first thing was root. By far the most important aspect for me.

Secondly, fought with my bloody MicroSD card. Had about 30GB of music, 20GB of ePSXe/PPSSPP games, a couple of thousand pictures (including recent ultrasound shots of my unborn child), and a full Titanium Backup folder from my S4. Removed said card from S4, even went so far as to unmount it from the storage menu. Popped it into my G3 and got the dreaded "Blank SD card" message. Tried slotting it into the S4 again. Same thing. Went back between the two devices and the card reader on my laptop for about fifteen minutes before giving up. Delved into forums for another thirty, no real luck besides finding out that the S4 seems to have a lot of issues with SanDisk's 64GB MicroSDXC card for some reason.

After much lamenting...formatted the thing, ran another backup of Titanium, finally got what I needed over to the G3. Cussed for another thirty minutes or so, smoked a few cigs, then got back to it. Froze a long list of bloatware/services I won't use. Installed Xposed and the G3 TweaksBox.

And now, nothing. It's more or less ready for me to swing by Verizon tomorrow and have them transfer it over to my line and reactivate my mother's dumb phone. Because well...As much as I am liking the G3, I wasn't about to give up unlimited data for it. Here's hoping someone can unlock the bootloader or find a loki workaround for the device!
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
specifically what differences have you noticed with ART?
[Verizon LG G3] jossicruz:
Truthfully, not a whole let yet. This was my first chance to try ART as I'd heard from other device threads that it can improve overall performance and bring a slight boost to battery life. I definitely did notice there was little to no lag in certain apps compared to when I was running dalvik. Although, my G3 has shut off on it's own multiple times today and I only received it this morning so I'm more concerned about getting it stable
[Verizon LG G3] manaox2:
Don't jump the gun. Many people reporting bluetooth audio stuttering with screen off, wake locks, and random restarts with ART enabled.
[Verizon LG G3] shawnten:
i hope they make xposed compatible with ART soon
[Verizon LG G3] Beknatok:
I feel your pain!!! My Samsung 64gb MicroSD also took a dump, when I removed it from my GS3. Went through the fuster-cluck as you, taking a fresh TB snapshot and everything. Thank goodness for FolderSync, which I use to back up my photos to the cloud, else I'd have been SERIOUSLY PISSED!
[Verizon LG G3] jossicruz:
I should have held off. I did two factory resets followed by enabling ART each time and it froze on deep sleep each time. A 3rd factory reset and switching backed to Dalvik fixed my issues.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
This. I rooted, titanium backup, removed bloat, installed my stuff, and swapped to ART. Just this morning I had 3 full freezes in a deep sleep that required battery pulls.

I just swapped back to Dalvik. At least I can use xposed. I have not done a factory reset. Going to hold off on that until it happens again.

I recommend others to not jump the gun as well. No, I only installed about 7 apps that are all stable. Avoiding anything truly custom for another week to make sure all is well with the device.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
I hope this is emphasized enough by now. Please do NOT switch to ART on the Verizon G3. Many people had random freeze/power off problem with ART. Simply switch back to Dalvik fixed the problem.

The difference is night and day. On ART the phone stutters and gets really hot. I almost decided to return it before I realized all problem started after switching to ART. On Dalvik it's behaving more or less like a flagship is supposed to.

Hello I am a developer with LiquidSmooth and I am going to be building LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 for the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and need some testers before i release it public so if anyone is interested in testing it out reply on here or pm me,,the build should be done by morning

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ffchampmt:
I am on MJ7 bootloader with SS3.72 and Surge's prerooted "stock rom".

The issue I am having is when I enter SS and make a backup the progress bar moves all the way till full but then tells me "failed" at the top of the screen.

I am a little nervous about trying ROMs because I'd like to have a working backup. I haven't ever tried to restore one because I am a little nervous.

FYI - My selinux is permissive but this happened on enforcing as well.

Anyone else with this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] polke45:
Just a guess but I think Safestrap 3.72 supports Android 4.4, but you have MJ7 which is Android 4.3.

According to this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2579278, you need Safestrap 3.70. If you really want 4.4.2, you need to update it to a later build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Hmm no he could be on that Bootloader. If you upgraded via surges or gigilies method u didnt flash a bootloader. If you took the OTA ur Bootloader is NC5. Maybe try uninstalling SS and reinstalling it? maybe where its backing up is full? or Enable compression? Ive heard that ATT SS 3.72 backups sometimes fail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
boot loader and basebuild are 2 different things

I have Mk2 bootloader but running andriod 4.4 (NC5)

the safestrap issue is another thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tulsadiver:
I think I would Odin back to stock and start over. Did you recently have an ota try to download on your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
What's the default location the back up is being saved to? Sometimes for me it fails if the default is the internal memory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
default location is typically the ext-sd card and if you don't have one get at least a 32gb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ffchampmt:
Ok. On MJ7 bootloader running NC5, i upgraded via Surge's prerooted rom. Never took an OTA.

I am saving to my ext memory and it's 32gb.

I reinstalled SS. I have not tried enabling compression though, I will give it a shot.

The weird thing is it creates the backup files and they are of an appropriate size 2-3gb. I don't know if having it generate an md5 will matter, it currently isnt, i may just get an md5 of a corrupt file.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh_obaid:
Hello,

I have Galaxy S2 and having some charging issue. Yesterday, when I plugged it in the wall charger, it didn't get charged (i.e. even the flash on battery was not coming up) and when I tried to restart the phone, it powered off but didn't switch on. I tried holding the power button to turn it on but it didn't. So, I pulled out the battery and left the cell for some time like 20 mins or so. After re-inserting the battery, it turned on but still was not getting charged. I tried to change the USB cable as well but nothing helped. I then tried to charge it via my Laptop it actually started the charging process but with error on Laptop saying "USB Device not recognized".

Today, I tried the wall charger again and here's I found something: when my phone is ON and I plug it in the wall charger it doesn't charge but as soon as I turn the phone OFF, my phone starts getting charged (Battery image comes on screen which usually comes when the phone is off). So, that's how I am charging my phone.

I went to the repair shop today, he said it's a charging port issue on which I have some doubts that why it is even charging in this way if it's a port issue. I just want to make sure if whatever he's saying can be somewhat true.

Can you please help me out? I would be really thankful to you.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thank you!

PS: I tried to search about the port issues but I couldn't find anyone having this kind of issue so please!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
The issues you have mentioned really do all point to a faulty USB board......it is common (with a faulty board) for some functionality to work while other functionality is lost. The part itself costs pocket change and is reasonably easy to DIY replace......

If you want to go down that path, check my profile for threads I've started.....you'll find a guide explaining exactly how to do it.

Just make sure to read and note the section on 'rev versions' it is VERY important to get the correct one......

My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right :):D

mtb, I really would like to try this out, but need a little help, as I have no desire to muck up my Kindle (again). I'm currently using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783993. Can you give me detailed instructions on how to go from that rom to yours AND keep all my data intact? I also still have cwm installed, but it looks like I should've already switched back to twrp according to the other thread.

Thanks for any help provided.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tvm2487:
I'm not really not sure because you really should clean flash this ROM so the best thing would be backup what you can to a PC and re-install the rest later
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
Just downloaded and won't boot. It sits at the kindlefire logo.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tvm2487:
Damn really ok I'll have to check why it's not booting tonight and build again,,, sorry about that

After flashing the rom can you please try flashing a different Kindle fire HD 7 kernel and see if that works I may have to change the tool chain
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
Maromi's kernel didn't work. I'll try Hashcode's kernel to see if that works. but so far no luck.

update: Hashcode's kernel did not work. Also the zip is only 141mb. most ROMs are about 175mb. Not sure if that has anything to with it but 30mb is a lot.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
So does this work or not? I would like to know before flashing.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
not at the moment
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tvm2487:
Yup the size is the issue I am building again now and should have the issue worked out soon I'll post when I have an updated rom
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
also the link has an extra "/" at the end.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
How long to build the ROM?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tvm2487:
There's a new build up now so let me know if it boots if not I'll look at it again,,, the size didn't change but I no the vendor files are there now so it should boot
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
Its v3.2 while all others are v3.1 why?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tvm2487:
It's because 3.2 is the next official release if LiquidSmooth so that's what I built,, the 3.1 official was just released prior to the this,,, it's really just a build number but 3.2 has some more features
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
downloading now but its taking forever. The host is pretty slow. 70 Kb/sec. it will take about 30 minutes.

edit: Booted up! Looks nice and clean. Scored 12925 on antutu at 1500. Time to do some crazy tweaks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tvm2487:
Excellent,,,I'll be building again later with a performance kernel is there a good one you can recommend
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
Maromi makes a custom kernel. Try contacting him. His kernel is over clocked at 1.7 and I think the GPU is over clocked too.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
Only kernel we have is maromis kernel.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tvm2487:
I'll have a build with that kernel built in tomorrow
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
OK, will switch to this ROM when you have it built with that kernel. :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tvm2487:
Build has been updated with the new kernel hope everything works well,,, enjoy
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
OK let me download, backup and flash.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
tried it out and it boots. The only problem is it seems unstable. Screen goes black like it shuts off but it doesn't. I'm reverting back to the 7/17 build for now. I've always had trouble with Maromi's kernel on my device. Other people swear by it but i guess I'm just unlucky.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tvm2487:
Ok well if this is a common problem with others let me know and I'll go back to the stock kernel
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
The latest build runs 100% fine for me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
YouTube bids will not play.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psychoTR2:
You know, I've always had problems with Maromi's kernel as well. When it works well, it works great! But when it doesn't, its like hitting a wall. But, it might help to revert completely to stock, and then doing everything again when your system is like new. That said, it might be best to allow a choice, imho, by leaving the ROM compatible with Maromi's, but including the old kernel in the build. But, look at me going on without trying the ROM! Imma try it now!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] xWolf13:
YouTube videos also does not work for me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
You get same error as me? Are you on 7/18 build?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Maromi:
Looks like YouTube flashed as a system app because its included in liquid gapps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
Anyway to get around this. Also, any idea on why some devices work just fine with your kernel and some devices don't?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wire55:
Installing YouTube as a user app doesn't even work, going back to cm11 now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] faZevoLv:
Lower the quality if the YouTube video from 720p to 360p and it plays ☺
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Eww, 360p.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
So the kernel is working fine on this rom. I've narrowed down the problem to when i change the governor to performance. Other than that everything has worked!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] zander78:
I see your apache server pooped on you. I know it's usually impolite to ask for an eta around here but any idea when then site will be functioning again?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Maromi:
you need to be using twrp from that thread

standard rom switching instructions except you always have to flash a special bootimg

backup app data

push rom to device

push the current f2fs capable bootimg

factory reset

flash rom first

then bootimg

reboot

restore data

Thank you. I have twrp ready to go. Is LiquidSmooth f2fs? Forgive my ignorance.
