[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
I like the idea of having a HOWTO, so that everyone can join in development. But i am not sure, that it is even possible. It is too big.

Downloading/cloning sourcecode, setting up build environment and cross-compiler and building a linux kernel is actually the easy part. A good guideline was postet by Tremere, and google is always your friend :p

Now the REAL WORK begins. Linux kernel source code is not very well documented. And the kovsky hardware specs are not documented at all. Well, some chips have been identified and datasheets where found, but many things are simple and painfull trial-and-error and may never work at all.

Then is the problem of finding the right source files in the source-tree. It helps looking into git-log and analyse changes made.

Then is the problem of data-structures and functions defined and used all over the source. There is no guide or something that explains what structure is used when and where. If you are lucky, you find some irc-chat-logs :o

Then is the problem that you can not debug, only add messages and stuff.

Then is the problem on how to approach, lets say GPS or Camera. You have to know about GPIOs, bus-systems, driver-models, ...

Then is the problem that one day has only 24 hours :D

Anyway, i would like to see, that you prove me wrong! :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ilgreco112:
it's not about proving you're wrong, it's all about proving you CAN !!!! you've bring it far from the start, I dont think that the battery or camera can scare you!!!!

Vdelf I know you have worked alot on this, I put all my trust in you!!! I cant help you becaus I dont know how!!!

so I support you more than anybody because I really really want all this Xperoid to be fixed!!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wphoenix:
Thanks for your advices :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] monovaldes:
if building the kernel is the easy part i'm a long looong way from being useful xD

probably my x86_64 bit fedora doesn't like me very much, got stuck with glibc dependencies errors or some wrong step at the arm installation... ¿could an x86 virtualized ubuntu save my day? as ive read some of the first testing was done in a debian distro, so ill try my luck with it.

damn... learning is fun... i just hope my Xperia doesn't learn how to burn while i'm playing with it xD
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
A while ago, someone (can't remember exactly) posted a link to a linux vmware image for kovsky development -

you could start with that, although any linux system should be no problem, since there are no distro -specific

"packages" to use in this kernel development ( possibly except git )

Hell, I don't even use a VM - I have a slackware 12 install running on coLinux

under windows 7 and it works a treat! :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] monovaldes:
well, that is a very nice alternative for users which don't like linux messing with their drives (not myself though xD)... thanks anyway :)

couldn't really tell which was the actual problem for me, i just got it working fine after installing an i686 distro on top of the x86_64 one

and... now comes the easy part, right? haha

will get onto studying :D

I've been installing Gentoo on my X1

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Gentoo_on_HTC

The good thing about Gentoo is although the compilation takes forever (especially under an emulated ARM chroot!), it allows us to build a system from first principles and also build packages to our needs.

A lot of this has been googling for what people have done on the Xperia and other HTC devices, particularly with the Ubuntu ports.

Hopefully all the knowledge I've gained will make it real easy to get MeeGo running.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTekk:
A couple nights ago, I flashed DangerSPL, wiped, flashed CM-5.0.7-test7 and google apps. Everything was working fine, save for complaints noise during calls heard by the other party (everything seemed fine on my end).

That night I updated my radio from 2.22.19.26I to 2.22.23.02, rebooted, and everything was still fine. This morning, I decided I wanted to make a new backup and install JIT. Using the ROM Manager app, I switched from Amon_RA Recovery to Clockwork Recovery, then attempted a nandroid backup. After the ROM Manager rebooted the phone, it sat in a G1 splash screen for a few seconds, then rebooted over and over.

I am unable to get to recovery, but I was still able to get to the bootloader. I attempted connecting to my PC, but did not have the adb drivers installed. I was unable to get the driver working (every attempt resulted in an error about the process being in use by something else). At this point, I formatted a spare SD card, copied an RC29 DREAIMG.nbh on it, and loaded that via the bootloader. It still gets stuck in the bootloop, still cannot access recovery, can get into the bootloader (original rainbow one now), and now windows no longer recognizes when I connect via USB.

Any hope?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yo9gnc:
hi,

i have the same problem (or i have one more step to get the same problem).

on cm5 it seems that you cannot flash_image. i found that after i flashed recovery from terminal.

now i still have a rom on the phone ( that works ) but no boot loader, no recovery mode.

i have danger SPL on my dream 32b. adb won`t work ( never did - that`s another problem).

i wonder if i`ll try with rc29 ( or rc7 )dreaimg.nbh, if it will rewrite the recovery mode or it will try to use an already existent ( i my case absent ) recovery mode (or i will end up like iTekk) .

i`m now stucked with an cm5 rom with no adb, no recovery mode. no chance to run some update.zip from somwhere.

i still have root rights but ... that`s all.

any suggestions for us?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
flash recovery thru fastboot. its a known issue when flashing thru rom manager
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultma75:
Cyan is working on a fix, but yea flash recovery thru fastboot
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTekk:
How do I do that with no USB communication? I've tried putting a CM Recovery 1.4 img file on the SD card, but when I enter bootloader, it momentarily flashes a gray load screen that says "no image found" and then goes back to the rainbow bootloader.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultma75:
try renaming it to just recovery.img
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTekk:
I just tried using recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img and cm-recovery-1.4.img renamed to recovery.img and get the same thing. Power + camera, rainbow bootloader, gray screen "no image file!", back to rainbow bootloader.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yo9gnc:
i fixed my problem in the hard way:

with the DREAIMG.nbh file (you must have it on the root of a fresh fat32 formated sdcard).

from the "rainbow" screen ( camera + power ) flashed it and that will install android 1.0 ( rc29 for US or rc7 for UK ).

you better have a data plan if you`ll get there.-android 1.0 won`t skip the setup. and you can`t get to the telnetd step or install telnet from market.

that dreaimg.nbh fiel, once it is flashed, will install the stock recovery.

i just followed xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=553416

after that, flashed from phone terminal cm-recovery-1.4.img (after i have put it on the sdcard), played with the parted, installed cm5

or ... wait for the fix.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTekk:
I think flashing the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh is what nailed the coffin actually. It was stuck in a G1 screen bootloop, but I could still access the DangerSPL bootloader (and nothing else), and windows recognized connecting the device (adb driver problems kept me from connecting and fastboot flashing a new recovery/ROM). Once I gave up with the adb driver, I flashed the RC29 img and was still stuck in a bootloop, the only difference was that now the only thing I could access was the stock bootloader (rainbow) and windows doesn't even recognize that anything is connected. All I've been able to flash from the stock bootloader is that RC29 img, which doesn't fix the problem. Anything else I've thrown on the sd card to try to flash (Recovery's, ROMs, or SPLs) just gives a no image file error.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas1218:
I am going to give my sister my Hero when I get my EVO and I was asking her if she wanted me to keep it rooted and keep the roms up to date and she said yes. When I give her my hero and she takes it to sprint to have them port her # over to it will they have to ruu it to do that or will they just leave the phone alone and punch a few things in on their kiosk things to change the #. Thanks for the help!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas1218:
Crap. I was perusing the general thread and still though I was over there. Mods please move this to general. Thanks and sorry for my stupidity.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Just demand that they keep it at 1.5; they won't have to RUU, they'll just have to essentially "reactivate" it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
No it doesn't matter if it's rooted at all.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas1218:
I'm mailing it to her and she isnt the most tech savvy person so she wouldnt know at first if they RUUed it or not because I'm running a 2.1 rom. Im just wondering what they would do if you brought it in and didnt say anything and wanted them to activate it on your number.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
They can't say nothing why don't you just call in and just do it for her?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas1218:
I would but I dont really know what I'm doing with phone activation stuff. Only time I've dealt with activating phones is when they are brand spankin' new so I dont really know how activating an old phone or someone elses phone on your number is. Sorry for my lack of knowledge and general noobness on this subject.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boredmug:
Or activate it from sprints website..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canterrain:
Activating by phone is incredibly easy.

If you've switched your EVO to your line already, it's really going to be a matter of her calling and asking to have a swap performed. They'll ask for the imei/esn, possibly have her use an unlock code to reprogram it (although last time I didn't even have that) and then reboot.

Takes about 3 minutes and the service person will tell her what to do step by step.

Just make sure to specify that this is a SWAP and not an upgrade.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas1218:
Ok sweet. I figured it would be decently easy. Thanks for all the help guys:)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dre4402:

I'm having a problem with the slide down to unlock the phone.

When the phone rang I pull the phone out from my jeans pocket then it accept the phone call automatically because the screen touches my legs during pulling it up the phone unlocks.

Are there any ways to change the way to unlock the screen to the Original android?

I have tried the Lock bot already,but it's laggy and doesn't lock the phone when someone calls .

PS. sorry for my english isn't perfect
[Desire General] DimitrisC:
I have the exact same problem. Everytime I pull the phone out of its case it answers the call. Its getting very annoying. Is there at least an app to make the lock screen slide sideways to unlock instead of down? Thnx.

IF you receive the vcard via Bluetooth, then go to People > Menu > Import> From SD Card. The phone will import the vcard (Will ask you where to import it - Phone or Google).

Still no idea how to save the vcard from sms to card or import it directly.

If you "Forward" the message on, you can then atleast see the details of the vcard contact.

From there you'll have to get your paper and pen out and create a new contact.

Not the best, but atleast you can retrieve the number.

Watching tons of Android and Sense UI videos, I've noticed that on stock Android 2.1+ when you open applications, the windows have a "zoom in" effect while Sense does not. I actually really like the animation and find opening apps on Sense quite ugly (however weird that may seem), but I'm wondering if that effect can be enabled with Sense (seeing as how you can enable/disable in the Settings on regular Android)? Thanks so much, I can't wait to get my EVO!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jharp146:
It's an Evo "problem," (though probably not a problem, just a "thing.") I surprisingly can't find anything on it though. The Evo does not do zoom or swipe animations when transitioning between screens. Anybody know why? I have "all animations" selected, and I've noticed this on 3 different Evo's that I've used, (mine included, all of which had "all animations" selected,) and I've never seen the transitions happen on a YouTube video of the Evo. Ideas? Suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdnbass:
Lol Compiz for android would be so great!!

Evo does have window to window transitions, try moving around in the settings app to see it.

It doesn't however have the zooming which was ****ty for me too, but you can always use an alternate launcher!

Launcher Pro has it!

ROM Chefs, please try and enable these animations in future releases.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campzalot:
I was wondering about the exact same. I just bought an HTC One X and used a Sense Rom. After Cyanogenmod 10 p12 came out, I wanted to give it a try and I noticed all those different window animations, which make the whole operating system seem a lot cooler. Why don't they have them on Sense? I'm 100% sure I checked the "all animations" box.

A quad-core processor is definitely able to handle it, even with Sense on top of AOSP.

This is the description for the original headphones that come with the T-Mobile HTC HD2 from HTC's site. My issue at hand is that as it says in the description "Hold switch to lock/unlock the remote control" it would appear I have inadvertently locked the remote control function of these earbuds. Quite honestly the audio quality is at best a poorly executed joke but due to the handiness of the controls I still use these headphones while out and about and thus would appreciate it if anyone on this forum would happen to know the magical unlocking mechanism for these 'buds. I can still use them fine but all attempts at using the controls fail miserably. I have tried several different versions of key combos and press-holds on the remote control and have quite honestly reached my wit's end here in regards of cracking the magical combination.

That is the main portion of my posting-my subpost has to do with replacement in case no one is able to help me with my dilemma above. In short-does anyone know of any headphones with music control functions built into them that function with the hd2? Or perhaps a plug-in of some sort from which I may use my own earbuds? I have read several threads regarding this issue but universally the solution seems to involve soldering which would be fine and dandy if I had a solder. The situation being that I don't, I am hoping for a slightly more elegant solution. I thank all forum members in advance for your replies.

Hi guys!

I just got a brand the new htc Tilt 2 from AT&T recently, sad to say I use to be an owner of a nice Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, and couldn't afford the new X2 that I was hoping to get. But I heard the Tilt 2 was a good alternative for what I'm looking for in a phone.

Anyways I managed to get rid of the unnecessary items that AT&T nukes onto their phones but now I was wondering if you guys could help me out here.

Now I know about Windows Mobile's website about making themes but as fate would have it, it does nothing for me =(

So I was wondering if you guys have another alternative program I can use (I tried asking for help via window's website but they're of no help whatsoever) to create my own themes for my phone. Also I was wondering if there was such a program for the TF3D since AT&T has their darn logo all over my phone ><;;;;

Any help would be of great use. Thanks guys!
