[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Ok Fair enough. So I based the rom on the same one as you based an ancient rom from. Everyone bases its rom from somewhere. I think this is poof enough for me to conclude we did use the same rom sometime.

Although the fast change from 5.5.0 to 6 the same libs as Cronos does proof something also no?

You got lucky :)

btw, I uploaded the goldfish sources I was so lying about today. Good enough?

And I posted a compiled and Working generic android build also in the forum to correctly compile HTC Hero eclair Sources from that generic Android.

I will just not post my BFS patches.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] seshmaru:
True, although one note, they are both about equally as popular according to the poll.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, seems we used the same base as that ancient ROM. Are we all agreed that VR6 uses the same libs as VR3? If so then I can go and do some other stuff, as I believe that disproves any allegations made by anyone earlier in the thread (I can't be bothered to go and quote posts from whoever it was) .

As for VillainROM 6, it was based on the official Droid eris leak which I obtained from someone on twitter. It was a nandroid image of their system partition. I am currently looking to dig out the link, although I believe I still have the original files on my hard drive.

The reason for the change in libs was that we also based our ROM on the final or Leak3 Eris ROM (they were basically the same thing).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Well then the attacking about stealing stuff was incorrect I presume?

About the last build with the new GUI. If I knew this was work from you guys would you really think I am that stupid after all this flaming to use it for a build of mine?

I never ever stole anything from villainroms nor other roms. I did use the a2sd script everyone seems to use but modified it and changed some things in the initrd to work together with my edited a2sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
TBH, I think this has completely got out of hand.

I tend to believe that you didn't realise it was from VillainROM, as you would have known it would have got out if you did. So it would be silly to do it deliberately.

We definitely didn't use any of your stuff, as I made VR6 on my own, and my internet is so bad at evenings I would have taken forever to download it anyways.

If you are happy to agree that VR6 didn't use libs from your ROM (it used the old VR3.4 ones), then I personally am happy to put this behind me, as I really can't be bothered with any more arguments etc. about it, as we've all got better things to do, I'm sure.

The MD5 sums are up for anyone else who doesn't believe me, and the original ROMs should still be there...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] apesgrapes:
this whole debate would be spiced up nicely if instead of 'donate' buttons, each dev also had a 'withdraw' button. if you saw a post you didn't like, maybe a harsh flame, unsupported accusation or whatever, you could click the 'withdraw' button and take money from them via paypal. then give it to the other side, or give it back if they substantiate their claims.

i think its worth doing. sort it out please.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Gaaah!

I think this whole thread should be moved to Hero Q & A. All these questions and "answers" :p

I've appreciated several of both the Villain and Chronos ROMs, but seems like it's time to go back to MoDaCo again. No flaming going on there.

Just my humble opinion!

*thread closed - at least for me*
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
If you ever made a donation out of your own free will to Cronos I am happily to send the money back. Just send me a PM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] apesgrapes:
i haven't, but checking your forum hourly waiting for 1.7 with JIT. you'll get a paypal donation and a marriage proposal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I need more time. And 1.7 needs to be changed a lot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Why would you revert back to old ancient libraries.. I do not understand. So no I will not agree on your proposal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I shall explain :)

The original leak used the same libs as the ancient leak :D

See http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7618177/lib3.4.md5 for the md5 of the VR3.4 ROM

See http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7618177/liberisfinal.md5 for the md5 of the final Eris leak used as the base for VR6.

There are only 8 different files in the lib folder, and 4 don't count as they are either hardware support files (which we use the correct hero ones for of course), or are kernel-specific (ie. the wlan.ko)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
The latest leak is a fake Its almost the same as the other one.

But to have the full 2.1 you need to use the manual update rom. The one with the patches .p files. Not too hard to change. We just need the stock 1.5 Eris rom as it does some checksum checks on the 1.5 and the 2.1 just to be sure it is not patching up the leaked versions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, I got a nandroid from a kind Eris user :) Point is, we used old libs which were not copied from anyone except HTC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] killer4o:
edit: nvm, by the time my internet kicked in, there was already attempted answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
What's fishy? Feel free to download both ROMs and compare yourself if you wish. I merely ported the dump I obtained from an Eris user.

I didn't compare the old libs with it - I just ported it. What resulted was VillainROM 6 - a direct port from that ROM with as few changes from the base as possible.

Ah. noticed your reply. Ignore pls.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
whoops. double post. forum lagging..

But ok I accept that Pulsar. And I based mine on the V3 release from Verizon Eris. Thats why I had the first Cronos released with that Verizon boot animation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. I think we both had our ROMs in development at about the same time.

So are we agreed now that VR6 and CrD are not linked, other than by the fact they use a common HTC base ROM?

If not, please tell me what you wish to see to finish this off. Are there any files not accounted for yet? I believe we've now dealt with them all :)

Also, nice work on the goldfish sources btw. Not looked at them yet, but if you don't mind me asking, is there any benefit of these over the Hero ones? From my understanding goldfish is the emulator code-name, so these would be the emu-kernel sources. Is that better than hero ones?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PlanetTimmy:
First, let me say I understand how much hard work that goes in to putting a custom firmware together, and I appreciate the efforts of all who are using up their free time in our service. I salute you!

However.

The overwhelming majority of the work that goes in to one of these firmware images has been done by Linux kernel developers, Google and HTC (pretty much in priority order).

The Linux and Android source code is all covered by the GPL, so if anyone here is making alterations to any of that source before compiling it and distributing it here they are legally bound to share those changes and have absolutely no right to accuse anyone using those changes of stealing.

Redistribution of the non-GPLed Google and HTC code without their permission is copyright violation (even if it is understandable) so for for anyone to accuse someone else of stealing is hypocrisy.

So what have we left? The long hours of packaging, testing, tweaking and troubleshooting - all valuable work, but that doesn't seem to be what's being argued about here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I agree. And I really want to end all this rubbish.

These kernel sources work perfectly fine on my roms. It did need some changing but emu sources or not. They work like a charm.

If its better then the godmode one I dont know.

Give it a try.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jazzjunkz:
*slaps both developers in the face*

Ding ding ding. Back to your corners. :) Seems like you've resolved the issues now. Thank god for that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yup. I think enough is enough.

Let's get back to what we really should be doing here.

I am downloading the sources just now onto the master server, and if you think they will be popular and would like, I can make a few direct links. Let's try and co-operate now :).

If you want some direct links, let me know tomorrow or later tonight and I'll see if the download is done, and then I'll give u a download.php page to point folk to. It will then farm out the request to the mirror cluster, and save people using depositfiles etc...

File is coming in at 50KB/s though, so will take a while, as I have no premium accounts for the hosts just now :(

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

So folks. Let's try and conclude this.

1) VillainROM didn't use any libs from Cronos, but they both share a common leaked base, which caused confusion.

2) Cronos didn't use any files from VillainROM, except for two framework files in 1.7, which was promptly resolved by Feeyo, as he wasn't aware it was from VillainROM, and made a mistake, which is understandable. He showed good intentions by crediting someone else, but wasn't aware of the source of the file.

That fair Feeyo? I reckon it should encompass most of the issues.

Hope we can all get on now folks... I for one donn't want to keep this dragging on ;)

Best regards to everyone,

I for one think this whole nonsense could have been avoided, but it should be over now. So... let's stop posting to this thread, and it can drop off to somewhere in the midsts of the forum :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] joephone:
Hi all,

My evo is way too power consuming. I am thinking to root it to Android 2.2 to see if the power consumption can be improved. If not, I would return my evo.

My question would be if I "root" my evo, if my warrenty will still be valid?

Is there any way I can backup my current whole system and restore it if I find the rooted 2.2 doesn't work well?

I am new to android world.... Thanks for your help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
idk anything about going to 2.2 with the evo, havn't read anything about it cept in the overclock thread about performance.. if u root, u void ur warranty, but u can always unroot, yes u can backup ur current whole system and restore if u happen to mess up something, follow the stickys on the android development section. you posted ur question in the wrong section. there are alot of steps that needs to be taken before u can decide to move foward. make sure u download htc sync from the website, these drivers will keep u from a huge headache when trying to do adb later on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KwestJones:
I would skip the whole bit about backing up your phone. To get it back to factory status you just have to flash the original Sprint ROM and your unrooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ipractice:
This is in the wrong section, and its a simple question that is answered in almost any "rooting" FAQ on the web. I would say try doing a search next time.

Rooting voids your software warranty. If your phone bricks (unlikely, but possible if you cant follow instructions) and can no longer turn on, you're out of luck. Technically nothing is wrong with the phone hardware wise but you can't do anything with a bricked phone.

If you want to go back to stock rom make sure you do a NAND backup right after you root (go read about this, guides are all over the forum) in case you mess up with roms. And as the above ^ stated, its easy to go back to stock rom unrooted (sprint stock rom), just flash that.
[Android Apps and Games] hoyter:
Today I was playing with Picasa albums on the Android gallery and was curious if there are Facebook APIs that would allow the gallery to display facebook albums similar to how they display Picasa albums. (run on sentence?)

I recall reading in the past that facebook opened up APIs for displaying photo albums outside of FB, but I was not sure if anyone has thought of adding this functionaliy.

If it is not possible to add to Gallery, is there another photo program besides the built in FB app that will pull FB photos?
[Android Apps and Games] chrisinaz:
The new MyTouch Slide does this.

I'm not a dev or anything, so I couldn't tell you how it's done though.
[Android Apps and Games] Morenicano:
It's there already in Sense. Get an Android made by HTC all you'll be able to do it. It's cool!:)
[Android Apps and Games] tuxfoo:
I'm considering (if I can find a little time) to extend the gallery app to allow it to be extended to support additional sources of networked albums. Gallery uses android data sources to get the images to and has a class which concatenates two data sources, one for local files, the other for picasa. Extending this to concatenate any number of providers and querying the android system for them would allow this to be extensible.

My goal is to add support for gallery3 (gallery.menalto.com), but facebook, flikr or any other photo service with a suitable API could be added.
[Android Apps and Games] tbrummell:
Interested in the Gallery3 support as well. :)
[Android Apps and Games] tuxfoo:
Great! I'll PM you if I ever get around to working on it and have something usable for you to test.

I did look into it a little bit more and it looks like things are not abstracted quite as well as I had originally thought, which means its a lot more work.
[Android Apps and Games] tbrummell:
There was an app for the G1 (at least that was how it was labelled, worked fine on my Magic) that worked on Gallery2. Since Gallery3 is a re-write, I doubt it works anymore. I think I found it in the Market.
[Android Apps and Games] biscodude:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhys'Droid:
IF you are using data on 4G or WiFi. If you are using data on 3G, then no, same limitation as all CDMA phones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermayhm:
^GAHHHH this whole 4g thing was such a BS gimmick in so many places.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhys'Droid:
Meh, not really the phone's fault, just the network technology. I also don't have 4G, so I can't use data and talk at the same time...maybe that will be a problem someday in the future, but it doesn't seem like that big of a deal at the moment to me. All of the strengths of the phone outweigh that disadvantage in my mind.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinsLament:
First off, before zooming off to purchase the latest and greatest gadgets, do some research, ask some questions. Because more than likely, the gadgets won't have support for every feature yet since it's the latest. CDMA has always had the limitation of no simultaneous data/voice. 4G doesn't have that limitation, but isn't supported everywhere yet, and won't be for a while.

It is your responsibility to do research before spending money on it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermayhm:
maybe i didnt make my self all that clear, but i wasnt blaming the phone [i have/had done a huge deal of research and i did know that i was not in 4g coverage and i might have even read that you can only data and talk with 4g signal] i just forgot and wanted to know, also wanted to see how people would react to this fact and if it bothered anyone else that it only works with the oh so scarce 4g service...i am quite aware that its the service provider i need to 'complain' to...and i am also aware that it is a new 'feature' and that it simply can not be implemented everywhere, all i am saying is that 4g was a 'feature' that was marketed very highly in every market...while in fact it is not even available in like 20% of it

there was no zooming, and i have my responsibilities under wraps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Impulses:
It was pretty widely known before release that 4G isn't yet deployed in every market and that it is an on-going process... And it's always been known that one of the advantages of GSM is this. It's one of the few things I miss after switching over from AT&T, but truth be told most of the time that I used data while on a call it is while I'm at home (and can use WiFi + talk)... I just don't carry on long calls on the road. That's just me tho...

[Touch2 General] kim71:
You can alter the volume settings in software by changing the appropriate values in the audiopara3.csv file on the Touch2. The thread here describes how: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700846

Try setting the "PHONE_HEADSET_VOL2" or "PHONE_HEADSET_VOL3" value to the setting currently in "PHONE_HEADSET_VOL5" and increasing the value of "PHONE_HEADSET_VOL5"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] silvscorp:
searched around and can't find anything so wondering if anyone might know something like this existed.

The basic idea is to auto clear SMS that's x days old. For example, if I set a number 30 then it'll auto clear sms received/sent 30 days ago.

This might also help solving those experiencing the "slowness" of the HTC message by not having too much messages stored/opened. UNLESS some one can come up a way to only allow the HTC message display certain number of messages at a time.
[Omnia II i920 CDMA] ckirkp79:
I wanted to be a contributor on the forums by cooking roms for fellow i920 users, but I've lost my hope and I am currently selling my i920 on ebay at this time.

I just want to thank AMD, Ninja and Yardi for making good roms, I hope they continue to provide the best out there.

If anyone is interested in buying my omnia i920 it's only 2 months old and has been flashed back to stock..You can find my i920 (not stock picture though) on ebay under couponrockinmama.

I fell in love with the HTC Incredible which is why I am selling and saving up money to buy one.

This is a great forum...maybe I can contribute one day to the android side of XDA:)
[Networking] uncleswoop:
I currently live in Southern Ca. What can I do step by step to get my tilt 2 to work on the MetroPcs network? Is it even possible?
[Networking] djteotancolis:
no you cant do it
[Networking] uncleswoop:
so it is altogether impossible for anyone to do this correct?
[Networking] maxpower097:
Correct the Tilt 2 is a ATT branded HTC Touch Pro 2 or (Code name Rhodium) ATT and Tmobile Touch pro 2 are GSM netorks which work off of sim cards that you load into the phone with your accounts settings. Verizon, Sprint, Metro PCS, and some other US carriers use whats called CMDA. Which is basically a sim card thats hard wired into the phone on a chip. So the "ESN""/ Sim card is locked to that phone alone. So with a GSM phne like att or tmobile to change phones you just switch Sim Cards. For metro PCS , Sprint of CMDA phone you call in your ESN number to the carrier and activate it. So basically you have a GSM ATT Phone with a CMDA carrier. Your options are to switch to tmobile, ATT, or some other cheapo carriers, some use both cmda and gsm. If you want that phone your going to need to buy an Sprint Touch Pro 2 or a Verizon Touch pro 2 CMDA version. The Touch pro 2 and Tilt 2 are hte same phone just branded different names. I'm gonna pm you with more details.
[Networking] johng75:
there is a member that has a sprint TP2, and is trying to make it work on ATT

since she has the version of the TP2 that you seem to need, and you have the version she seems to need, you 2 should talk and maybe work out a trade...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flawd:
I'm sorry if this is posted anywhere, but I spent a couple hours last night and another couple hours today searching here and in Google with no luck.

-Skip me for TL;DR-

I got a G1 when they first came out, and rooted it as soon as I could. I ran JF1.5 then JF1.6 then after a while upgraded to Cyanogen. It was great and my GF still uses it and loves it. I got a Nexus One about a month after they came out and I've been in love. I haven't went to Cyanogen since, only because the stock rom has been great and I haven't needed any extra features yet.

Now that 720p is available along with a few other things I'd like, I want to upgrade finally.

-TL;DR end-

Basically I'm trying to say I'm not an idiot or very new to loading roms and toying with an Android device.

From past experiences I basically know the process of root/recovery/rom etc.

I loaded froyo onto the phone when it was available via the stock recovery console and an update.zip ... no problems.

Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader.

Installed Modaco's superboot.

And used fastboot to push recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1-cyan.img

After that I turned the phone on, and logged in to check it out and make sure I had root. Everything was running great (Froyo saves your app installs in the cloud!!!) and I did, in fact, have root. All seemed well.

-The Problem-

Now, I can't load any more update.zip files. Nothing at all. Stock rom, modded rom, rom updates, anything. When I try to install any update.zip I get the following output:

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

At the top of the recovery screen it reads: Android system recovery <3e>

If that makes any difference....

NOTE: I can still use fastboot to push new recovery images, which I've tried.
