Dear all experts,

hope i m not waiting everyone's time. it seems that not many have asked this question, so maybe i ask. pls help answer or revert me to a link which can explain this.

Question: whats the difference btw the diff extensions? i know from wiki that ext4 is the successor of ext3 and ext3 is the successor of ext2. so shld we all convert our ext to ext4 for better features?

THANKS in advance!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
They are all versions of the ext filesystem, evolved over time.

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_system

Your question is moot because going forward (2.2+) apps will be installable on the FAT filesystem so no additional partitioning is needed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INeedYourHelp:
Isn't ext2 supposed to superior to FAT?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Except it is up to the developer to enable that, only one app so far that i own has apps2sd enabled. and FAT32 does not work with root apps, so EXT is still very relevant.

[Desire Themes and Apps] StuMcBill:
Hi

I have recently discovered Spotify Remote for Android and it got me wondering if there is a program that does the following?

I have an iPod Touch, which happily sits on my iPod dock connected to my wireless network, which my HTC Desire is also connected to.

Is there an app that can browse my iPod Touch library (on my Android) and control them via my phone, so that they play through the dock speaker and can be controlled from all around the house?

Thanks

Stu

PS My iPod touch is Jailbroken so if any unofficial software was needed, I could install it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Necroman_AI:
Well i'm using Windows and Gmote on my Desire. It works really well, i can play music files from my pc on my phone and on my pc (although playing on pc from phone closes gmote server on windows, but i really don't need it)... I think gmote also exists for MAC but bing it...

With gmote you can also control your pc with desire ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Stakkertoo:
Use the iTunes remote on the Android market. Your iPod will appear as a playlist and you can just play that with the library appearing on your Desire.

I don't put my number online, so unless there's a clause I've been overlooking when downloading apps from Windows Mobile Marketplace or Android Market that they can sell your phone number, I don't know how my info got out. Not comfortable with this, had my phone for 8 years, only once before have I ever gotten a spam message.

I went aheaded and reported it on http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-702-524-6740 - can anyone find any details about this, what I might have done that caused me to get on someone's list?

I got them too, usually ones saying "Thanks for your participation to claim your $200 giftcard visit www.xxxxx.com To stop futher texts reply STOP". The area codes were from Chicago.

I got quite a few. They vary from website or rewards offered, I wonder how they got my number. I was asking my friends if they put my number on any websites. The only site that has my number is facebook (and I only add people I know), so that might be how these people might be getting these numbers.

I always replied "stop", and the past week I havent had any since. Id be pissed if I didnt have texting in my plan and I was getting charged to be spammed.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Honestly? I think it rocks, since I'm to lazy to build my own NBH's :D

I see the similarities, and also the differences, and I think you should continue development personally, it's a different approach, and I can see the possibility to add to it by being able to include boot splashes perhaps, or edited initrd/zimage combinations for instance.

So yeah, keep at it :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Yep, sounds like a great idea. A nbh editor is good for beginners, but it would be nice to be able to build your own. Could open up a lot of opportunities for customization.

Just make a Windows and a Mac port as well, for the future.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
ok....so far progress is going along very well. I have this functioning on my setup

but I still have to work out making it transferable to other computers.

while I work on this, are there any additions that you would like to see added.

I will see if I can squeeze any changes into the beta release.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
What language and GUI toolkit are you using?

It would be fairly portable if written in Python with GTK or Tk.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
I am using gambas2 in ubuntu.

I am still trying to port my visual basic knowledge to gambas. it doesn't all function the same.

I have minimal experience in Python. but if you know any good tips I am all open for suggestions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:

currently attempting to break open the deb, will fall back to a vm in worst case.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] richard_s:
Edit: As I expected, I found the solution right after posting. Run NBHCreator.gambas from /usr/bin

I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and I've never use Wine before so can't work out how to get this running :confused:

The package installed, along with it's dependencies. Now what? How do I run it?

Sorry if this is basic stuff...

richard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] richard_s:
Working ok here. Still need to flash it onto my Kaiser - will report back if I find any problems.

Thank - this is a handy little tool

Edit: Hmm, output file only 4.8K so something is not right. Probably down to me so I'll keep playing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
The install deb should have created a 'start menu' item under /Applications/Other/NBHCreator

that is confirmed under the default Ubuntu window manager 'Gnome'

however I have not tested it in KDE or any other non-gnome window manager.

what window manager are you using?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
let me know if you get it. I don't have the source available at the moment. it's on my wife's computer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
the resulting nbh must be 3M

DON'T FLASH IF IT ISN'T 3M.

make sure the zImage file is named 'zImage' and not somthing like 'zImage-12-06-10'

I am fixing the next version to allow different names for zImage.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] richard_s:
No - I won't be flashing it! The file name is definitely just 'zImage'. Oh well I'll wait for the next version and try again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
I haven't built in a error log into the program but could you run

the NBHCreator.gambas in a terminal and post the output.

what device are you building for and what are your settings?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] richard_s:
After restarting Ubuntu your program it is all working as expected. Sorry about that - I should have thought to try that first :o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] poly_poly-man:
yeah, had to throw it into a virtual machine. Nice tool, though.

If someone describes the process in great detail (including the binary formats and all that), I can make a slightly more portable version, if you'd like.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
I will be releasing a more cross-platform version after I work out all the bugs.

Keeping it ubuntu for now keeps the distribution of a crappy program to a minimal.

on that note... V0.2 will be out very shortly.

this will address

-input filename variations ie.. 'zImage-12-06-10'

-output filename specific to correct device ie.. 'VOGUIMG,POLAIMG and KAISIMG'

-error checking

-misc fixes
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
New version in first post
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
OK....

I am going to be honest.

I am a bit discouraged by the lack of response on this.

Unless I get some feedback, I will be putting this one on a shelf.

is it an unneeded tool or is the problem with ubuntu?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] richard_s:
I've been out of town for a few days so only just had chance to try the new version.

Tried it on a self-compiled kernel and it worked flawlessly. Ran the output NBH through loserskaters editor without a problem.

The only reason I use the NBH editor is to add the switches for overclocking so if you could include them in your tool it would be a one-stop-shop for me!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jfg69:
Now that I've finished summer class.. I will have time to play around.. I'll post feedback in a few days..:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
thank you for your input.

I am planning on adding additional "advanced" settings in the next version.

I am a bit swamped at the moment so I will be a little slow at this for right now.

however, as I use this for myself as well. There will indeed be more updates.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ZeGuido:
some doc ?

Hy,

I just heard from your project as I was looking how to change a NBH panel3 to Panel1. I am going to give a try, but I would need some more doc on some options reflected in the screenshot of 1rst post :

Where can I have info on the battery capacity ? How to set it up ?

What is the 'Data on start up option' ?

And finally, (this may be a dummy question) if I compile my NBH from one of DZO's zimage, will it still work with the usual installer ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
for now the battery capacity setting is specific to kaiser. I am looking into adding it for the others in a later version.

the data on startup option is to either Enable or Disable the phone to statup with data running automatically. if you select to leave it off, then you need to manually turn it on once the phone is running. (modem app) this is good for people without unlimited data plans.

and as for the nbh question.

the installer is included in the nbh that is created, so it will be the same.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Kot_Ik:
bug?

An error occures when building NBH. It seems that build is successful (resulting NBH size is about 3M), but i'm afraid of flashing this image without confirmation that this behaviour is normal. Oracle VBox, clean Ubuntu install (just from the box).

By the way, can i change files in initrd archive? Simply edit one file and repack it back in initrd-mini.gz?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
OK. it seems that the error check I added to v0.2 is only for kaiser and

it is giving a false error due to the name of the resulting nbh file.

so polaris as well as vogue will give that error message after it compiles.

the nbh is building fine and I checked it with hexeditor to be sure.

you should feel safe to flash the resulting nbh.

I will release a fix ASAP to address the false error message.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I cant fix it if nobody lets me know there is a problem.

as for changing the initrd...

there should be no problem in doing that. give it a try and let me know.

edit: what is it that you are changing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Kot_Ik:
Yes, nbh is working fine.

mount options for /sdcard. National symbols in filenames, and so on...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
Fixed false errors

new version in OP
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jfg69:
I would like to see that as well, so I concur.. playing around with it now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ZeGuido:
NBH built succesfull...

Thank you for your answers.

I first tried the non corrected version and got the error message (though the .NBH file was present). I updated today, and now I have a complete success.

Here are the settings :

zimage from DZO's (most recent).

Device : Polaris.

Android : Donut

Panel : 1

Data on start up enabled.

Tomorow I'll save all my apps and Data and make a full new install. I'll first try with Nym's warm Donut (5).

May be you should add in the first post that wine is either required or get installed (I never installed it, only been running Linux for about 6 mounths I use to run MacOS).

I'll keep on feeding back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
Thank you for your feedback.

as for your suggestion, the #2 Prerequisite on the first post says you need wine.

also, feel free to suggest future settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] x40sw0n:
Out of curiosity...

Do you guys think the RAPH/DIAM group could use this tool to create nbh files for those devices? Just for grins I fired it up using the latest glemsom zimage build, (using the kaiser settings) and it did in fact build a 3mb nbh file. Obviously I am not going to turn around and cram this thing into my phone, but just wanted to see if it would work.

The froyo version running on the diamond and raph devices just got a huge boost. It runs really well (considering it has only been released for a few days) on both CDMA and GSM devices. I linked to the XDA article from there to get those dev's opinion on it, but I thought I would get your input as well (since the vogue builds are more feature-complete; e.g. they have a camera).

Oh and if any of you have any thoughts on how to get the camera working on those units I am sure we would all appreciate it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] x40sw0n:
Oh and

Thanks! this little beauty does exactly what is advertised (from what I can tell since I don't have the target device to load it onto).

:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
Thank you for your interest.

there is very device specific code in this program.

however, I wont say "NO" because I haven't looked into what those other devices need.

anything is possible...:)

I can look into other devices for future builds. (i make no promises on anything other than vogue,polaris and kaiser for now.)

as for the camera... that is beyond my reach.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] x40sw0n:
I see

Well any help would be appreciated to be sure. I know that the Raph guys took a lot of the vogue codebase to shoehorn the stuff onto those units (mine says something about vogue linux). They are still struggling to keep wi-fi stable from release to release, and something went sideways from the 2.1 to the 2.2 with regards to the sdcard.

I am being a bit proactive on the nbh side since the Raph stuff just started maturing at a really rapid pace. We got froyo running on our hardware a lot faster than the last release, and on more variations than usual, so I am thinking that nand might not be too far in the future.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ZeGuido:
Complete success

I flashed my polaris100 panel 1 with the nbh file I built from DZO's zimage using this tool. It works flawlessly.

Very good job.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] teorouge:
That would be awesome, surely groundbreaking! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
Until next update, DO NOT Use this program to create nbh from new froyo zImage.

donut and eclair only for now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
Aside from adding in the froyo support with memory tweaks,

what other additions would be desired in the next release?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jmz:
Can I ask for a huge favor from someone. I just need this zimage put into a nbh. Doesn't matter the settings. I have ubuntu but since I don't have an internet connection to the machine I can't get all the dependecies satisfied. It would be much appreciated if someone can do this. Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
using your attached zImage with this nbhcreator results in a failed compile.

the nbhcreator uses very device specific code. mainly kaiser,polaris and vogue.

I am currently really busy moving to another state, but I will try later this evening to see if I can force it to compile. (...bypass the error checks)

however, even if I force it to compile, I am not sure it will work for your needs.(due to the device specific settings)

I am unfamiliar with the HD2 so if you could point me to your settings that you use I can see if I can create a version specific to your device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jmz:
What are the exact settings you need and I will try to get them for you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
the settings I use are based off of this tinboot

http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi

which builds for vogue, polaris, and kaiser.

is there a git repo setup for building android on hd2?

a quick search on the hd2 forums shows no sign of the hd2 running android from nand.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jmz:
No it hasn't been done yet and I am working on it but the nbh is the first step. The git repo is here http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-msm-2.6.32

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
ya, I found that repo right after I replied the last time.

yet I found nothing there to help make the HD2 settings.

I tried to force your zImage to compile to nbh but it wouldn't accept it.

no matter what I tried.

I fear that this is going to take a bit more than what I can do to get this to work for the HD2.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Actually a working tinboot for HD2 would be all that would be needed I think, since this is at the heart of the whole nand setup for android, and provided you have the correct MTDparts information, it may be possible, however tinboot has been available on our nand'able devices for some time, I cannot believe no one has looked into this before now?

However that said, if it does work, then it should be possible to get it working for various devices that only have Haret available just now.

Have you had a look through this thread on tinboot? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614275&highlight=tinboot it contains a fair bit of technical information on tinboot.s
