Now you just want all my secrets don't you... :D

First thing I recommend is that you use the update style script that many of the other rom builders are using. If you look in my META-INF/com/google/android folder you'll see two files, one called updateR-script - in other roms you'll just find one file called update-script (without the "r"). I would start with using one of those, you will encounter less problems and the syntax is less likely to catch you out. But you may be doing this already...

Get it running first without trying to echo any text or you could spend hours going nowhere.

For the wallpaper, that took me ages to figure out. There's basically two ways of setting the default wallpaper - build a rom from scratch or the way I've done it (because we can't yet build Froyo from scratch so it's a hack/workaround). It's a bit too much to go into here but for this, and for all other problems you encounter you need to learn to use two tools:

recovery.log (which you can pull from /tmp/ or use the recovery menu to save it to your sd card).

adb logcat > somelogfile.txt (which you should use when you boot your phone after installing a new rom)

I can tell you that your boot loop problem after copying that xml file over is because of incorrect permissions (mode) on /data/system... and without even looking at your rom... ;) Your first boot logcat will advise you of this.

So, get your head around update-script, recovery.log, and adb logcat and you'll find that all of these reveal most of what is going on which will help you hunt down the little problems.

Happy to help further if I can once you're under way.

[Nexus One Android Development] mordokak:
Thanks a lot, I solved it as you sed it was a problem with pemissions:

set_perm_recursive 1000 1000 0771 0775 DATA:app set_perm_recursive 1000 1000 0644 DATA:app/blink.apk

set_perm_recursive 1000 1000 0777 0776 DATA:system

As u can see im still using update-script instead of updateR-script and update-binary.

Ill see how to port the script to updateR style ^^.

Many thanks and your work is amazing. I do recomend everyone who didnt try it yet, to try kangorama. For not being based in AOSP its very stable.

BTW how the did you modifyed awd luncher to show ADW Version 0.7.8 Kang-o-rama Edition?

Are you sure. I've been using a deodexed version since last Friday (six days) and have only seen this problem in the last day or so. I stand to be corrected although I'd expect way more people to have mentioned it between now and then.

I AM experiencing this problem now though (two days).

[Nexus One Android Development] RogerPodacter:
so could i just flash form zip with this, then use a different black notification bar? i dont want the desire black bar specifically, but the true all black bar which i currently have on froyo. but it is the old one with the gray circle around the black clock text.

i guess its not possible to do unless i use a new froyo ROM? poop and stuff.
[Nexus One Android Development] djmcnz:
I think so too.

So nobody can blame the three of us! :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar299:
Hello; I am a newbie, ex IPhone Fanboy Junkie jailbreak/unlocker and I decided to switch to Android so I am starting all over again. I am trying to root the phone. I downloaded fastboot, superboot, the Andriod SDK and installed, or at least i believe I installed the usb drivers. It mounts fine on both windows and mac and on windows it makes that sound and says its attached when connected. But when I reboot into bootloader mode to unlock it, windiows makes those 3 quick beeps because its not recognizing the device in bootloader mode. I have "usb debugging" checked on the device. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcxquake:
Try "adb devices" in normal mode or "fastboot devices" in bootloader to confirm you have the drivers installed correctly and your computer recognizes the phone.

If it is recognized correctly in normal but not bootloader, confirm that your phone is in bootloader mode (not fastboot). If it is not recognized in either, work on installing the usb drivers correctly.

Hello all, is there a download manager that could download multiple links at the same time and also use site logins kinda like this one but for the phone?

http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/features.html
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timothydonohue:
so, some fine work being done up the android theme thread...

i saw this , and thought i would share it, and tell you guys how i finally managed to get it to work.... i got his copy of the nexus one boot animation, because it's the same resolution as our phones. i unzipped the download, and put the bootanimation.zip (NOT extracted) into my sdk tools folder.

if you even want to consider putting the old one back on, it would be wise to pull it first, then rename it something. the original sprint splash is located at /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

adb reboot recovery

*run custom recovery utility*

adb shell

# mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

# rm /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

# exit

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

adb reboot

yes, you have to get rid of the copy in /system/customize/resource first, and if you just put the new one there, for some reason it doesn't work.

probably the same instructions for any boot animation you want. only in the future you could probably just do the adb push to /system/media, since you will have already have erased the interfering sprint splash.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Shadow591:
I am probably missing something because i read so carefully but my boot is in a windowed mode

The nexus one version does not play on my EVO
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timothydonohue:
what do you mean you're in a windowed mode? if you got any version other than the nexus version, the resolution is too small, and it probably won't fill the screen.

the nexus version should work just fine. just make sure you pull the bootanimation.zip out of the the download.

if it doesn't work, try downloading again. i had a problem originally, and i think that it may have just been a bad download or something

[HD2 General] gilla409:
Okay, so now that I'm committed to the HD2, I'm also committing to fix or remedy the issues I have with the device. I've gotten it to run smoothly, except for the Sense music player.

First, is it normal for it to scan for music every time it's powered on, or unplugged from USB? You would think it would save an "image" of your library to run off while it scans the SD card for new files, but no. Instead, it scans for several minutes, in which time it won't display any artists or albums and lags horribly. Am I missing a setting, or have my library sorted incorrectly? Right now it's setup as root/music/artist/album/mp3, fwiw.

Also, the gap between tracks is terribly annoying. It totally kills mix cd's that are cut into tracks, and ruins the flow of a lot of albums. Is there a way to get rid of this, like the "skip silence" function in iTunes? I knowIf not, is there an app that scans and removes silence from the beginning/end of my mp3's as a batch process? For example, point the app to my music folder, and let it scan/trim silence from each mp3 automatically?

Other than these problems, I really like the music player... but these things are serious dealbreakers for me. If there's no way around them, is there a music player you can suggest that does these things?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I really don't think these things are a lot to ask from a music player, and I'm hoping there's a way to make it happen.
[HD2 General] alucardunit1:
+1 i too has this same issue
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
Yes, this happens. People have suggested a music player called nitrogen, but I haven't really messed with it to know how good it is or not.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yes the HTC Sense music player can be one of the problems with this phone, especially for larger music collections, and/or ones stored on the card....mostly due to the less-than-efficient way it indexes the music. The two cabs I have attached should help you with that somewhat. The first one adds indexing to the startup group, so it should be pre-indexed by the time you decide to open the music tab. The second one turns on caching on the card, which should also help speed up the indexing and access times on the music tab.

As for the gaps between tracks, I've never seen a solution for that other than manually trimming the files...but even that won't totally remove the gap. I listen to a lot of full-length mix CD's too and the way I get around this issue is to just rip the CD as one full-length mp3, instead of as individual tracks. EAC (Exact Audio Copy) is the free utility I use for that ;)
[HD2 General] gilla409:
Hey, thanks for the help!

I have several mixes ripped as a single track, but it's hardly convenient. I just hope HTC is aware of this, and working on a solution for an upcoming ROM release. I definitely won't be holding my breath, though.
[HD2 General] speoples20:
I've tried a bunch of different music players and the only one I have found that doesn't have the silences in between the songs is Pocket Player. Its a paid music player but if you have a large music library or listen to music a lot its by far the best solution out there.
[HD2 General] gilla409:
I actually tried that out last night, v4.1, and I found it really clunky, with poor sound quality compared to the stock music player. Maybe I don't have the latest version, but I really didn't like it much.

Is there any other music players that have an interface similar to stock? Even if it doesn't have gapless playback, it's more likely that a dev would update the app more frequently than HTC.

But otherwise when using Pocket Music (mp3 player software) music is played when the display is switched off!?

Is this software dependent? Is there a possibility to configure the device for always playing sound when the display is switched off (I will use it for example for playing approaching sounds when approaching to a waypoint - to save battery power so the display should be switched off).

Maybe my question was already answered in this forum but, sorry, I didn't find anything concerning my problem.

The thing is that HD Mini has not been out for a reasonable period to be developed. And honestly saying, it is a way beyond HTC Leo in performance.
