The best advice I can give you: Go in and get your hands dirty.

Grab the ADK by natalic

It contains ubuntu and all the developer tools you'll need to get started.

Grab an RUU from Shipped ROMS and try to port it to the hero. Check the resource in my sig for guides on porting.

You'll run into hundreds of problems, but if you're patient, and attempt to learn, you'll get through it with a terribly great understanding of HOW the file system works in Android.

Once you've gone through all that. You'll still end up with some problems that can only be fixed by having proper programming language understanding.

Go buy a book on C and JAVA. Read it, then read it again, then do the examples, then read it again, then try to fix your problems; and finally, share your findings with everyone here.

i was just trying to go back to 2.1 stock rom from cyon rom.

but my phone doesnt show up OTA notifiction to update 2.1-1 from stock Rom...... :(

i havnt experienced this happning before, any idea about ths problem????
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
relax, it mildly normal, there is some phone number to call, but i cant remember it.

Its like #*#*checkin#*#* or something
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boang_yigubok:
I am actually going through the OP's process too right now.

Thanks for the hint.

It's actually

*#*#2432546#*#*

or

*#*#CHECKIN#*#*
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildsjustin:
Thx guyz...

But it was not my 1st tym to do shiping to originl stock rom and i did do with tht commend...

doesnt work anymore.. :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boang_yigubok:
I saw several users reporting the same today. I don't want to take a guess but I think google is up to something... :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Do a factory reset, and sign back in with your google account. Then reflash your 2.1 nandroid.

(I'm assuming you restored with a nandroid)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boang_yigubok:
I used the PASSIMG.zip method which will restore everything even the stock recovery image. Factory reset alone will not suffice.

Even brand new N1 user can't get the update today: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=468801cbdf8eb9fe&hl=en

I will stay on 2.1 and wait further. I think something's coming :D

Thanks for the reply though.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peel:
Hi All

Been using Maxsense for week or so and love it so I hope the RM guys can see there way to including it more and more. Noticed that most wallpapers leave a black boaard on the first and third screens however. Is this a diamond issue does anyone know or MaxSense being design for another screen size?

Anyway to assist I created a simple orange wallpaper that does the trick and gives a full wallpaper on each screen.

anyone else got Maxsense wallpapers they are using on Diamond?

regards

jason
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] l3-art:
mind sharing the rom you are using?

cause i haven't been able to find one for the diamond..

(or maybe im just blind) :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peel:
energy jun 03 seems to be the only one for diamond which is working well, go to the other Maxsense rom pages for the wallpaper fix cab

I smell "No x10 firmware update until Q3"....
[XPERIA X10 General] kmaximax:
omg yeah just read this in a tweet! does this mean Q4 we get 2.2!? dammit just release it already!!!! :)
[XPERIA X10 General] ZeritoX:
Well the 2.2 isn't even mentioned, i doubt we will get it in this year.

BTW, great news, so we will get the 2.1 somewhere near september, not bad.
[XPERIA X10 General] mikrokiwi:
Froyo (wifi hotspot) hint? :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
Yes, read it on Easto, Such a great news :D And Mikrokiwi, You've a point ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] anders260:
dlna

they mean
[XPERIA X10 General] mikrokiwi:
oh yea, makes sense :p

I've heard that they will skip froyo and move on to gingerbread anyway, but that is just pure speculations/rumors as always ^^
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I really wish I could believe them when they say Q3...

The good thing is that we have a fairly functional Donut, we could've been stuck on a stock version and that would've been painful. When you avoid the cool but oh so slow stock apps like Timescape and add some stuff from the market it's a really nice OS.

What would be awesome though was if we could get vanilla images without all the extra stuff bolted on and the ability to customise it fully. But without root that's not gonna happen. :/
[XPERIA X10 General] MarylandCookie:
Sounds like the root news has scared them abit lol :D
[XPERIA X10 General] ase3000:
Nice move SE

That's good to hear. I see where SE is going with this. Previously they planned one big 2.1 update on Q4 but after receiving numerous complaints they divided it into "2 phases" updates in Q3 and Q4. It’s clear from the announcement that the promised DLNA support along with other features will be postponed until phase 2 on Q4.
[XPERIA X10 General] arabesh:
I think its more about Google TV. Probably u can use ur phone as remote or so.
[XPERIA X10 General] Theaccomplice88:
Don't you just love how NOTHING about that small update was mentioned? Did they just stop with that one all together, or what?
[XPERIA X10 General] piercewei:
great news!!! seems that SE started to listen to the market and customers. love SE!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] jkr284:
so the first rollout will be september 30th! Just keep that in your mind and you will be ok!
[XPERIA X10 General] brunswick000:
Hopeful, but im still doubtful. Time will tell so lets hope they get it right.

* Apologies. I am aware that we haven’t followed up on the post re smaller software update that Sumit did a couple of weeks ago. We will get back to you with more info on this very shortly (read very shortly)

Wouldnt that be a little info?
[XPERIA X10 General] gr00vy0ne:
At least it sounds like they're starting to listen to their customers "a little".

To survive on the market they have to provide smaller, faster update cycles. It's the new model to stay competitive. Releasing monolithic updates that take forever just doesn't work anymore because there are so many other alternatives available and people don't have to wait. They'll just move on and then all the work put into the update is wasted because no one is using your product.

So fingers crossed.
[XPERIA X10 General] Higgins12:
That's not how SE thinks and works. A more obvious explanation would be the Release of the X8 , so they try to push the Phone ASAP to the market and as both Phones, with slightly differences , have the same Specs they try to get the X8 on the market WITH Android 2.1 , so they have to hurry up and as they do 2.1 for the X8 they spend the update to the X10 a bit earlier. SE learned how the market reacted to their release of the X10 with Android 1.6 and I'm almost sure they won't do the same mistake with the X8.

SE is pushing new Models to the market very quick and they want to sell them all. When we get 2.1 we can be happy because i don't see a further Release of 2.2 or higher for the X10 , this will be exclusive for their new Flagships.
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
All android phones shall be getting updates. :)

The only way flagships shall differ will be through hardware.

From a reliable source. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
So all devices will have outdated OS:es, but flagships will have beefier hardware they can't use? ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
some in Q3 and some in Q4. whatever. i want my update for the X10a. seems most people with X10a still have older firmware on our phone. give me an update and i'll be at least somewhat happy then not.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Good one! Sounds about right.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I would guess there are several things involved.

1) EVO 4G released

2) Iphone 4G release next week

3) ADOBE Flash 10.1 release due next week (only works with 2.xx) (or, html5)

4) Pending X10 root

5) And last but surely least, customer complaints about the current X10 and the 1.6

This is the perfect storm for how to blow out your customer base and lose once long term loyal customers, like myself. SE has no choice but to release a statement and an update. I hate to tell SE but it is probably too little too late for me. I am seriously considering jumping ship on my next device (which I will probably purchase before the 2.xx is released on X10).

In any case I will never buy another model at release. And, I will include more models in my research on future devices. And, I will never forget how SE has left me high and dry on the P900, P910, and X1. Nor, will I forget how SE treated it's customers on the X10!
[XPERIA X10 General] Astral07:
Hm, i've been looking at x8, seems interesting, i'd like to buy it for my gf

But it seems to me that it has at least 2 minuses

- i think it should be 3.2'', that would be ideal

- 3.15mp cam? I think 5mp would be more apropriate and it doesn't seem to have flash?

Do you think the cam will be good even if it's lower rez?
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I think the camera will be complete sh*t. And, I personally don't care for the look. The X8 seems like a step in the wrong direction if you ask me.

I think Apple are really on to something. I understand that Facetime is probably more about bandwidth. But, consider a future without cell phone service providers. I mean no more telephone companies, no more contracts. One flat fee for worldwide service. No roaming, or long distance, or sms charges. A complete communications center in your pocket, now that's what I'm talking about.

I know this isn't true of everyone, but most of my communications are done from near enough to my WIFI signal!

SE has always had some great hardware: too bad they are always limited by their software. However, Apple has offered a great blend of fairly solid hardware and fantastic services. And, this new G4 looks like a superb piece of kit. Once it is released next week I doubt there will be a better built device on the market. I for one will be buying one for myself and another for my wife. And, it will be my first ever Apple anything.
[XPERIA X10 General] kenned88:
I have the same feeling as you about SE another minus besides the software is the battery time its really really bad on my phone at least. I have ordered a Samsung Galaxy S. I have read many tests about it and the seems like it will be a very good phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I'm totally with you on that one. I got my X10 based on hardware, mostly the screen and CPU. Naturally I assumed that the system software would be fairly current, specifically the wifi tethering. Being used to HTC I figured a machine of this calibre would atleast have 2.0 and would be updated to the most current versions within a month or two.

The saddest part is that I dug up my old Blackstone to play with and discovered that it actually feels speedier, has a 3.8" 800x480 screen and is more useful than my X10. The only downside being resistive touchscreen but I'm almost at the point where I'm willing to pay that price for tethering.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
The x10 has kind of been a slap in the face. I really feel like I am being taken for granted. This is at least my perception.

I have never owned or considered Apple anything. However, the Iphone 4G has some very tempting benefits. The image should be mind blowing, at least on paper. The OS sounds equivalent to the 2.2. The processor should be equivalent to the the snapdragon, with an OS that actually takes advantage of it. And, it surely has a leg up on the competition when it comes to apps. Plus the portable movie editor, come on now. And, let's not ignore that once the Iphone 4G is released it will be without a doubt the best built device on the market.

However, for me the part I find most interesting is FaceTime. Now I understand that Apple like to make aspects of their phone sound like they invented it. And, they have in fact invented several technologies on cell phones. However, video calling has been around for a few years, at least where I live. But the costs keep people from using it. I have however used it on my X1, since my phone company gave me one hour free when I first got the phone. And, I loved it. With the Iphone 4G Factime running via wifi I see the benefits as two fold.

1st) If service providers are not willing to eliminate the extra charges and offer video calling standard, than we the consumer can communicate how we want without their input via wifi. And, I am sure there will be plenty of companies out there that will take advantage of this new feature, so owners will be able to do even more with it.

2nd) Further more, I do think it will eventually be possible to remove the phone companies from our communications all together. And, this issue with Facetime might be a step in that direction; weather it was meant to be a first step or not. And, I think it could be worth supporting this effort as phone companies S.U.C.K!

Wifi has come a long way and it will continue to grow. I am sure it is a matter of time before we will be able to move freely from one wifi connection to the next without losing signal. Major cities continue to offer more and more free hotspots and bandwidth is also improving. And, regardless of challenges to it's signal right now it is still possible to offer wifi in more places; like subways for example.

The future could be getting a few hours per month 4G (or what ever) for when you are on the move, and the rest could be provided via a wifi or some new version of a similar technology for when you are stationary.

Definitely interesting to consider the possibilities. If anything this could be just the thing that gets service providers to switch to a flat rate service plan instead of the BS we have now where they are trying to milk every penny they can from us.
[XPERIA X10 General] acmbc:
Um - have you seen what intensive wi-fi use does to ANY phone's battery?

FaceTime is Apple's "reinvention" of nothing new. Like touting "multitasking" in 2009. And MMS in 2008.

Any Symbian phone has had multitasking for ages, as have many other OSs.

Video over WiFi is revolutionary? Wow. I use video calling over WiFi on my PC regularly, and before I get flamed to kingdom come ("A phone is NOT a PC, idiot"), have a look at a FREE app called Fring.

...And I can bet when the iPhone actually hits the market there will be SO many more WiFi videocall apps for Android. Follow the fad, if you will. But these wont be limited to "only" calling other iPhones (or, in this case Android phones). That I can also bet on.

IMHO, Apple used to be a REAL innovation driven company (and I go back to hex coding on the Apple II). Now it's an amazing *marketing* and industrial/product design driven company. And a very closed, if not to say nazi, one at that. Have you seen their "edited" (aka censored) versions of some eBooks they "touched up" as not to be offensive prior to allowing their publication?

I really admire their marketing, their PR, and their interface design capabilities. Their extraordinarily closed approach to everything kills them as an option to me.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
Sorry for the off topic question but what books has apple edited? I didn't know about this but its shocking!

[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
acmbc,

I won't disagree with you about the closed nature of their products. I absolutely hate that aspect. I have never owned an apple anything because of it. But take a good look at our X10 and tell me how much better it is? It is patch up tighter than f'n king tutt. So I don't see much difference in that respect. And, at least you know with apple that the third party apps on the market will offer a standard setting to match your device. We can't say the same about SE who change every aspect of their products so often thrid parties don't even try to creat standard settings for them.

As for the battery. Wifi get's much more battery time then 3G. Facetime is nothing new, I understand. But beyond that there will be plenty of apps written for all platforms because of apples marketing. So it is a win win. We all benefit. I have used video calling before and I love it. But it costs 50 cents per minute on top of your regular communications charges. As for third party video chats currently on the market, let's be honest with each other, they all basically suck!

Let's give this iphone 4g a chance to show what it can do and how well it works before we chalk it all up to marketing!

Because SE sure leaves plenty to be desired, so let's all wait and see. And, let's hope it does what apple says it does. It will eventually force other companies to be better. Maybe SE will learn something.

Because SE market the piss out of their hardware, and what do we have to show for it? Software limitaion that prevent their device from doing what it's capable of doing. And customer service that only cares about pre-sales service! It is a f'n joke!
[XPERIA X10 General] acmbc:
Comic/graphic versions of James Joyce's ulysses and some stuff by Oscar Wilde for the iPad, as well as pulling some raunchier apps off the app market.

To be fair to Apple, I read yesterday that they had reversed this decision:

http://www.thebigmoney.com/blogs/ap...comic-featuring-two-men-kissin?obref=obinsite

My point is not in these particular acts of "censorship", but in the fact that they can actually DO it - i.e. decide what content you may or may not see/have/whatever on YOUR device.

But then again, they consider YOU Jailbreaking YOUR phone an infringement of their copyright....If I flash *my* Android phone and brick it or whatever, I consider it's my problem - it's my phone after all.

Like I said, their attitude is somewhere very much South of "Free"...That's why I stopped buying their products.
[XPERIA X10 General] acmbc:
fm1776 - I agree on your comments on being more closed allowing for tighter integration and a better UI ("look and feel", whatever).

But there is a line. I am not saying the X10 "out of the box" is any better - it is shut pretty tight by Android standards(have a look at the rooting threads if you haven't already). Heck, LG even published root codes...But I believe that eventually it will be broken/rooted, and I doubt SE will have the gall of admonishing/threatening that they "copyright" is being infringed (Apple has).

Thing is, IMHO Google (which is big brotherish in its own way) isnt *nearly* as limiting with Android. You can OPT to allow installing apps NOT COMING from the market. You aren't "stuck" with any particular application.

I didnt like the launcher, keyboard, SMS, Timescape/Mediascape and a plethora of other things on the X10. I currently use Swype (great concept and well implemented), handcent, ADW launcher, 3 media and other "non-standard" apps. The integration is "tight" enough, and this is with 1.6.....and Android is newer than the iPhone - give it the same running history, and we'll see what the better platform ends up being - in SPITE of the added technical difficulty of having to accomodate so many possible HW variations.

I dont have any beef against Apple - they are by far and away the best interface designers in the field, but that comes, to me at least, with a price tag in terms of freedom of choice which I won't take. The iPhone 4 in itself, all in all, is a pretty neat piece of kit, even w/o all the marketing hyperbole.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Acmbc,

Well said. We shale see what this puppy can do soon enough. The uni-body sure gives it a bit of sex appeal. And, the images sure look breath taking. But in terms of which platform will be the cats meow in the future, let's hope that they both keep driving the other into offering consumers a bit more.

If Facetime looks as good on the street as it does in their marketing I don't think I will be able to pass up buying a couple for my family. And, tell me you don't love 'Folders'? That basic little app is another feature I love.

Though, I still don't understand how they could have left so much of screen void. I think I saw it is 3 and half inches and the over all length is 4 and a quarter. So that part I don't like.

And, I don't really know very much about jailbreak, but I will start reading up on it and see if it will meet my needs or not.

"Grass is alwasy greener on other Side",,, Use Iphone for a week, you will get bored... Then you will be active in Iphone community(if any) as you are in Android now......

MY take.....
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Well I am already bored with the X10. So if the Iphone will get my interest for even one week that sounds great.

I can get the 32gb for free. Than I can sell this X10, which I also got for free, and buy may lady the 16gb, plus I should be able to pocket 100 euro. Two phones and a free 100 euro, sounds like a nice little deal if you ask me.

The best part is I won't have to worry any more about an OS revision coming from SE whilst they sit around laughing at how long they can make their customers wait.

Plus I'll still have my X1. And, in 12 months I can get another free phone. So we will see what's what then.

Update- Correction: I will be able to get me next free phone in March! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Higgins12:
I had a Iphone for exactly one week before i sold it , made me really sleepy that thing :-D i don't want have one again.

While waiting for root @ X10 has gone nonsense i enjoy waiting for the Official update now. I'm not happy with 1.6 either BUT you can say whatever you want and surely the SE version has lot's of bugs but i never ever had a "Force Close" on the Device. When i think back to my HTC Magoc i had lot's of them. So we will see what brings the update.
