[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
As of right now we do have a little more opensource than anything else. And like all new software it will take time to learn what to do. Obviously people didn't get Mac OS 3 and immediatly know how to hack it so they could do things they weren't meant to do. And of course same goes with mobile phones. When WM5 came out they had to learn about the new OS and it takes awhile.

So far the freedom we have already surpasses that of any other. We have internet sharing (for those with root) that is far better than the old USB or BluetoothPAN method(which btw is going to be a new profile, it is in the source)

I am willing to bet that as soon as it hits 1.0 that we will see it go entirely open with the ability to flash the rom and all.
[G1 Android Development] strangethingz:
That makes sense... I just have to be patient :) Thanks for the reply!
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Open source != open system.

Open source means just that... you can see the source code. That's it. It doesn't imply or confer any other right of access, and with most open source licenses the licensor (Google & HTC) is free to build closed systems just as locked down as one based on proprietary code. Many commercial systems (Android included) are underpinned by open source code for cost savings or stability/security reasons.

Edit:

That's comparing apples to oranges. Linux is not an operating system; it is an open source kernel on which an operating system can be built.

Fact of the matter is, OS X's Mach kernel is partially descendant from BSD, so you could say the center of OS X is open source as well. More info at wikipedia's Darwin entry. For being a "fan of Linux" you don't seem to understand some of the core principles.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
If I am not mistaken Mac's are unix based right? many the kernel is similar to linux... which is why the filesystem structure is similar as well.

But you are correct open source means you can see the source... but usually when someone can see the source they find a way to get around security holes that lock down the system.

With open source and developers an open system is possible. And we already know we can do it because we have modified the updates that are sent which change the system files. so all you need to do is put a new boot.img and a new recovery.img and replace the root system directory... before you know it you can have this running any version of android and/or anything else that will run on an ARM6 device.
[G1 Android Development] blues:
Don't make it so complex. It's meaningless to play the words game.

To make it simple:

As a developer, on G1, we are not able to do what we can do on a linux PC, and that was my understanding about the open source smartphone OS.

To be practical, for the same project I ported for Android, Windows Mobile and iPhone, I would say: Windows Mobile is the most open one (friendly) for developer. You can even make your own driver on it. So I would say Windows Mobile = smart version of Windows Desktop. But I cannot say Android = smart version of linux.

I really hope Google can push a little bit to the carriers to open the root for us. Android really needs to be more developer friendly. Otherwise, it is hard to compete with iPhone, since the key part of Andorid was "openess".
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
It's like you've never even heard of embedded linux before. Show me where on the G1 advertising or packaging it claims to be a Linux PC.

WM gives the developer deeper system access. That's awesome for developers maybe, but calling it a "smart" is probably going a bit too far.

Android's security framework design is solely Google's responsibility. Tmo doesn't even remotely factor into it. If you don't like the default Android system lockdown then download the codebase and compile it yourself without the security settings. Security is there to prevent neophytes from opening shell and f__king their phones up.
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
And run it, how?

From my understanding, the only way to get a firmware onto the phone ATM is from the recovery menu, which will only install signed updates from Google. Yes, we've got a way around that for now, but it requires root access.

How would you install a self compiled version of Android onto the G1 on the official RC30?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
No clue. I'd probably do it with a Freerunner or something that is specifically designed as an open system. The recovery menu is not the only way to write to internal memory; i'm sure the HTC bootloader has some provision for usb access.

You have all of the Android operating system at your disposal in the form of source code (provided you agree to the license). If you want to write/port low level drivers for it go right ahead. You just can't run it on the G1. They chose to lock down the Android implementation on G1 and you're dissatisfied with that. That's like being dissatisfied that a house has locks on it when the architect gave away the blueprints and floor plans for free.
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
Except when you buy a house, they generally give you the keys.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Yeah I know, it's a flawed analogy.

If you want to have free reign over your Android, I suggest you get a Neo Freerunner to play with. I say play because the open source portion of Android is missing a lot of closed source Google added value apps (Maps, Gmail, etc) that define the G1. Also the porting process is still ongoing.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
98% of G1s might get derooted with RC30, but guess what? 99% of users don't need root or don't care. Tmo and HTC didn't build the G1 as a device for devs to hack and play with. That's why its a subsidized $179 phone and your unlimited dataplan is $25.
[G1 Android Development] hetaldp:
99% Percent people dont want it but if we develop some Application which is beyond the SDK thing we must have to have root access to all device in order to Install it.

Adobe is releasing Flash Plugins for Browser lets see they can do it by just releasing APK Package in Market or a Pushed OTA Update. If Adobe requires OTA Update then Smaller Company and Developers see hard time to develop such Extension without Googles Permission.

Just make your Science clear before commenting it
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Of course. I am just saying that there is a sense among some people that they are entitled to root access simply because G1 is built on Linux. You are not entitled to anything of the sort. If root is important to you then sell your G1 to someone who doesn't care about root (there are a lot of these people) and buy a Freerunner.
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
Every OpenMoko phone I have seen looks like they are competing for ugliest phone ever. I know the G1 isn't that pretty, but oh my god, I would be embarassed to carry that in my pocket.
[G1 Android Development] hetaldp:
I already own more then 6 Smartphone. And i don't use G1 also becuase of Microsoft Exchange things. I dont have any Complaint for Exchange Connectivity.

Here the Question is how can i develop some more powerful Application / extension / core Part and Distribute it across all G1 users the way we do it in Windows.

This means my core Application can run in free Runner (OpenMoko) but it will not be available in G1 user group. There will be handfull user who may use free Runner but its not my Market. I require bigger community to sell the Software buddy.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
If you need to get below the VM on stock ota G1 then most likely your product will need to become a part of the Android platform (meaning open sourcing). The integrity of the os and user data is one of the main reasons the Android sdk only supports the VM.

I'll be interested to see how Adobe's flash implementation for G1 works. Flash is closed source, and Google has explicitly stated that the entire Android platform is open source. My guess is they will patch the Browser to accept signed binary plugins. Perhaps Google's signature will require a peek at the source. I'm only speculating though...
[G1 Android Development] hetaldp:
Yeah using SDK we can only Develop Application which run itself in the Sandbox cna they can communication with other Application using intents, you can share Data using content Provider, share the Setting using Preference. We can develop some services in apps to handle Asynchronous process.

We we ca not do is recompile the Whole Modded Source, replace or test drivers, codec, low level binaries.

The SDK is fairly powerful out off the Box for Standalone things. !

Thats why i have made a different demand to google in this thread ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=444893

The only thing tmobile is worried is tethering, as they give unlock code after every 90% day Subsidized Handset unlocking is not a big worry for them.

Just think If you want to develop On Screen keyboard it require more powerful access to core system and its beyond Google Sandbox approach.
[G1 Android Development] blues:
Show me where did I say Android = a linux pc. Same, I didn't say Windows Mobile = Windows XP/Vista.

I hate to play the word game.

That's why I thought very high with Android. But the limited development access makes it worse than WM.

Could you please show us how to get the root from the f__king rc30?

Do you rebuild the whole linux on your pc if you just want to make a simple application?
[G1 Android Development] blues:
I thought very high with the "openess" of Android. That's why I suguested a new enterprise software project using G1 in my company.

I don't care about the $179. I care about the "openess" future of the smartphones.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
The point I was making is that the price point of the G1 (obviously priced to compete with iPhone) and the emphasis on Google services (push Gmail but no Exchange) clearly shows it was designed for the average consumer. The reason Google/HTC/Tmo locked off root access is simple: probably 95% of the G1 userbase has never touched a Linux console before. The G1 is a lowest common denominator Android device, simple as that.

In the future other manufacturers will probably create open access Android smartphones. But for a first device, a launch device, it's important that the OS is perceived as stable and secure. Locking off root is part of that. Who knows maybe in the future we will see official kernel space access on G1 some way (probably requiring crypto signature from Google or whoever is maintaining the updates for that Android). I wouldn't hold my breath though.
[G1 Android Development] Thom4s:
I also thought that the G1 and Android would be more open. Right now the source is free to read and change but there's nothing you can do because the device is locked down. So, in practice, it's not more open then Windows.

I thought it would be a linux kernel build for the device with a lightweight x server and a custom google windowmanager, everything open source, no restrictions at all. General users of the device would be protected because root is not activated by default and thus they can't change core system.

I guess my expectations were too high.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
How do all of you know that you can't use your own custom build? Have any of you tried? Have you even compiled the build? Do you even have the files on your PC? It is weird that all of you say you need root access in RC30 but I have yet to see any conversations on XDA that show us trying to flash our own roms onto the device. Has anyone asked google how to do this? Since it tells you how to compile the OS I am sure they can tell you how to flash it too... maybe that is one step you guys who are complaining need to figure out. You don't honestly think we all knew how to flash our WM devices the same month we got them do you? (maybe newer users, but back in CE days?)

To point out 1 user who is working hard JF has already started doing custom builds of the updates... I don't see him complaining although I would think he agrees with most of the complainers. But instead of spending his time complaining I see him building things I can not. I applaud him for this. I think everyone should use him as an example.
[G1 Android Development] hetaldp:
We are complaining because one Bullet from Google Pistol of RC30 have killed our G1. and I am doing every possible thing i can from safe mode to flashing update.zip of different version using SD card and replacing SD Card with older Version of update.zip SD Card, using ADB to Telnet client. I already have downloaded Major Chunk of GIT, already have searched for android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE for Dialer Secret code so possibly get into Diagnostic mode the way we did it in WM Phones. Booted in Tri Color Boot loader but neither it Changes from Serial to USB not PC Detects is as any Device. Everyday i am Experimenting with Some thing Different hehe. Already Written to Google and Reported the Feature Request for Special Developer Edition of firmware and so on.
[G1 Android Development] blues:
Did you find anything about the SECRET_CODE?

I believe the G1 AMSS has the Diagnostic mode disabled.
[G1 Android Development] hetaldp:
Already know that 5 Secret Code but could not find any thing which can out it into Diagnostic Mode which was there in Windows Mobile.
[G1 Android Development] pic.micro23:
Have you checked openmoko.com? They have phones that could support Android. Also koolu.com has them with a soon to be release version of Android.

Openmoko has an more opensource hardware approach.

Does somebody know of a VMWare image with everything set and ready to compile an .zip to be deployed on my G1 :) ?

Boa tarde,

Tenho um oneplus 9rt 12/256, e os jogos compatíveis a rodar a 120fps simplesmente não rodam, se limitam a 60fps.

Ja vi nas configuraçoes de bateria, no gerenciador de app, e não sei masi que fazer.

O unico jogo que rodou a 120fps foi o brawl stars. Testei o Oddmar, Real Racing 3, rayman Adventures, Modern Combate versus, entrei outros, todo com suporte a 120fps. Alguem sabe o que pode ser ?

Good afternoon,

I have a oneplus 9rt 12/256, and compatible games running at 120fps just don't run, they are limited to 60fps.

I've seen it in the battery settings, in the app manager, and I don't know what else to do.

The only game that ran at 120fps was Brawl Stars. I tested Oddmar, Real Racing 3, rayman Adventures, Modern Combat versus, I entered others, all with 120fps support. Does anyone know what can it be ?
[OnePlus 9RT] gscherulli:
Então, o suporte a 120hz depende do jogo e modelo do telefone. Mesmo que o aparelho tenha tela 120hz, se o jogo não oferecer o suporte ainda, nada a ser feito. A não ser por root e app.

Estou na mesma saga com o PUBG. Tenho 9RT preso a 60fps porque o jogo não da suporte para o 9RT ainda.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fatammag:
Hello all,

I'm having the Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F) the device with the Exynos CPU.

Everything worked fine with Android 9.0 and the One UI 1.0 until I decided to install TWRP and a custom ROM using Odin software.

Lots of things with a custom ROM isn't working correct.

Such as the NFC, apps for e-banking, Netflix etc. I didn't root my device.

So, I need to go back to factory defaults.

I downloaded the proper firmware from sammobile and installed it using Odin.

I extracted the zip file and followed the instructions from sammobile's site.

My phone is working, but now I'm having an issue with my Google account.

My device is not certified.​

I found instructions online to fix it but none is working.

What I'm missing here?

The method i used is the proper one or not?

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Read this... probably a Samsung Experience center at Best Buy be able to sort it out.

On my Samsung's I never touch the firmware unless there's corruption (not happened so far). Don't even update/upgrade it. Zero issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fatammag:
Thank you @blackhawk for your instant reply.

I have done this a few days ago.

The uncertified message is displayed in Google Play settings.

View attachment 5673141

I have used the Device ID app in the device registration website by Google.

When I'm trying to paste my Google Services Framework Device ID the box is turned into red as the screenshot below and a pop up message appears with Value already registered.

View attachment 5673143

The list contains two entries. I don't know what these are regarding.

I'm also having an Android TV box with the same Google account.

Gmail, Google Photos, Google Drive and other Google stuff is working, but Google Pay & Netflix is not working.

I tried also clear the cache and data from Play Store app.

Is there anything else i can do?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

Gookill is a mess. If it's generating any error code messages look them up.

Try deleting the Google account on the phone, reboot and set it up again... I hope this works.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fatammag:
I have done this too.

I removed the Google account, I forced stop the Play Store. I cleared the cache and data. I rebooted my phone and I signed to Google. The message had gone in Store's settings. I tried to access the Google Wallet (Pay) or Netflix with no luck!

The message appeared again!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Try again but clear Playstore data too. The cause maybe be in other Google apps data.

Don't know...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fatammag:
Thank again @blackhawk

As I said before, I deleted data and cache.

I don't know..

anyone else knows another way of fixing that issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] anbalaganaero:
Hi bro,

Go to setting and turn on developer option by pressing 4to5 times of build number and go back to developer option and turn off OEM Unlock thats it simple.. now better reset/restart your mobile then go and check play store play protection its show device is certified.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
Is your bootloader unlocked? If you're trying to return to bone stock, you'll need to relock the bootloader to pass hardware attestation.

Or...

Root with Magisk and install the Universal SafetyNet Fix module.

Drove home tonight and had to avoid an accident, turned on Tom Tom 7 and the phone locked up after a few minutes requiring a reset. Tried again, same thing happened.

Tried google maps, again same thing happened after a few minutes. This happened to anyone else? I have TouchFlow 3d installed (but same happened without it loaded). I was able to use TomTom for half an hour a few weeks ago with no issues.

Anyone else having an issue or know of a problem?
[XPERIA X1 General] pf:
No, I am driving with bluetooth on and connected to my Parrot CK 3100 and Navigation with Navigon MN7. I can make and receive phone calls without problems while navigating. After the phone call the navigation is shown after a few seconds again and at the right place (not where the call started!).

Just as it should be...
[XPERIA X1 General] singhie:
This happened to me on Sunday when I was using Copilot 7. I then tried Google maps and it froze again. To solve this I reinstalled Copilot and this seems to have solved the problem.

Only reason I could think of is that I had just transfered the files across to a bigger sd card and thats why it kept freezing. Not sure how it was related to google maps as it was only the copilot files I had on the memory card.

All this could have effected GPS in some way but I'm not sure.

Hope this helps...
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
I noticed that if you don't connect to GPS via com4, but rather GPS Intermediate driver, this will hang.

What's the GPS setting of your Tom Tom?
[XPERIA X1 General] mingoid:
TomTom just shows it as "Built-in GPS receiver". I think the COM4 is only for external GPS?
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
COM4 can be used for apps which don't realise that there is a built-in GPS. If TomTom is playing up it's worth trying it.
[XPERIA X1 General] mingoid:
Tried COM4 setting but TomTom still locked up the phone after a few minutes(I'm in the office with poor GPS visibiliy also). Soft rebooted and tried Google maps which wouldn't recognise COM4 so went back to normal setting. Google maps then continued to work with no issues this time. I hadn't yet loaded TouchFlo 3D panel. Could this be a resources issue, is just having Touchflo installed a likely culprit? I haven't made any "tweaks" to performance/memory, was also thinking of installing the custom rom (itje?) with TouchFlo included as I hear it runs better than installing the cab?

gps problems

I have had gps working perfectly with copilot 7 in fact been amazed how fast the lock is etc but now it has stopped worling altogether for no apparent reason. No hang ups or freezes just not getting a lock at all on either copilot or google maps. I have even tried a hard reset and reinstalled everything and despite wandering about outdoors for ages, still nothing. Anyone got any ideas before I have to send my phone back? Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
same problem here, tomtom 7.4 and 7.9 hangs the phone. If i don't activate intermediate driver ("manage gps automatically", I suppose) tomtom can't find gps receiver

also, it isn't a tomtom problem because demo mode withot receiver goes very well (tested 1 night while sellping, no hangs)
[XPERIA X1 General] nokiaman1978:
Are you using XperiaTweak and changing the graphics and system cache values I had the same problem with tt7 after changing system cache too high, if you are try lowering system cache value.
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
also, no tweak, so it isn' graphic related. It's a gps driver issue. **** :(
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
although i don't use tomtom, this is consistent with my observation that using intermediate driver will hang the phone (I use Garmin MXT)

did you try using com4 instead? it should work.
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
hard reset seems to fix the issue... have to test more before declare it definely solved but now seems to work (30 min without freeze...) I pray ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
have you ever used Advance Config to enable Quick GPS? I noticed that might have created compatibility issue. Couldn't prove it though.
