STICKY

How is this not yet a sticky?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
ive answered these questions in the last few pages...what would you like clarification on?

yes but i would be wary of what is flashed. do not rely solely on the fact that at this point custom recoverys wont let you flash official OTA's lol
[Nexus One Android Development] sosquidtaste:
"E:signature verification failed"

What's up everyone-- I'm trying to get this going on my T-Mo N1 with FRF85B, and running into problems with getting my phone to process the customized update.zip.

Everything else works fine, I'm able to adb push all three files (flash_image, ota.zip, and update.zip) to /sdcard/ in the terminal.

But when I get to Step 14 ("As soon as you see the yellow progress bar, hit Enter on your keyboard; Tip: If completed properly, you should see a message about rooting adb") I get the "E:signature verification failed" message and am dumped back to the original set of options.

If I missed it on the first shot, update.zip is living on /sdcard/ now, right? But if I choose "apply update.zip" again, I get the same verification failed message.

I've gone through the process a bunch of times (clearing my SD card, adb pushing, etc.), but no dice. Am I doing something wrong here, or is there something I forgot to set up?

Please help a newbie out here, fellas :]

EDIT: Looks like I'm having the same problem as the member in post #146 of this thread. I can't link it since I'm a new user, but as far as I can tell I haven't seen a direct answer to his (our?) question. I'll look some more!
[Nexus One Android Development] cmstlist:
I believe that recovery has to "see" the first update.zip (ota.zip) in order to have successful verification; but then you have to bait-and-switch, replacing it with the second update.zip to root it.

If the second update.zip goes in too early, then recovery will reject it. If it goes in too late, then recovery won't apply the root patch.

So if you're redoing it, you have to go back and follow the sequence.
[Nexus One Android Development] ken6828:
how to check my nexus is [T-Mo] or [AT&T]?
[Nexus One Android Development] erikiksaz:
Ok, so I have the recovery in the root of my SD, I unmounted the sd card through the settings menu, and the micro-usb is still hooked up.

I do the adb shell thing, enter in "su" and it says permission denied.

What's wrong? All the previous steps worked so far. I thought I saw a message about root and incredible. Maybe I didn't successfully root?

FIXED: The newly-installed superuser program in my app drawer wasn't being called upon issuing the "su" code. I just opened the program manually then issued the "su" and then the popup appeared.
[Nexus One Android Development] sosquidtaste:
I went back and gave it another go. I must have been too slow on the bait-and-switch?

Anyhow, it looks like everything is worked out. I was able to go on up through step 24 without any (visible) hitches!

<3 cmstlist

Big thanks to everyone else in the thread helping out chumps like me, too.
[Nexus One Android Development] erikiksaz:
23) In your terminal, type "rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh"

Crap, when entering this, I get:

rm failed for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, no such file or directory.
[Nexus One Android Development] sosquidtaste:
Ahh ****, sorry-- I don't remember the exact text. What I do recall, however, is that there were a bunch of blank newlines, then what appeared to be either a username or the name of some specific program. I *think* it had something like "HTC" and "Incredible" mashed up into one word.

In any case, I don't remember there being a big banner saying YOU ARE ROOTED, which I thought it would.

Sorry I can't be more exact. Been playing around with too many root capabilities :]
[Nexus One Android Development] Constrabus:
"rm" is a command to delete things.

So if it's already gone (aka "no such file") then there is no need to delete it.

The purpose for deleting it is so that an old recovery image doesn't get reinstalled upon rebooting.

So in summary, if your custom recovery sticks after flashing and rebooting, then your good to go.
[Nexus One Android Development] erikiksaz:
Crap, I should have known it was a unique linux command. I thought delete would have been something like "del," but I guess I don't know shiet :p

Thank you for the guide!

Anyone know of any out there? I have a Seidio 2600 extended battery/backcover and I am looking to find a holster for it. Seidio's holsters don't fit but the standard size -- you'd think they'd make one to fit their extended stuff.

I appreciate the stares at the "big surprise" in my pants and all but yea, I'd prefer a proper holster.

Many thanks.

Hi All,

I have just bought this device yesterday, I was previously using an HTC HD2.

The device is great so far, but one major issue is when it is connected via USB and Internet Sharing is Selected, the device reboots itself after 2-10 minutes.

The battery is fully charged, and I have restored device to default settings with no apps etc..

It has original firmware 2.1.

Anyone else getting this issue? I can take it back to store, but I wanted to check if it is a setting that I need to change.

Thanks in Advance.

Solved it ** Phew **

Talking SOLVED

HI All,

I just figured out the answer to my own problem. The the phyone doesn't reboot when just browsing, its when torrents are active on my laptop is when it crashes.

So I reduced the number or Conccurrent Connections for My client down to 5 downloads and 5 upload and no more problem.

It looks like the torrents 100's of concurrent connections were overloading the Handsets NAT Buffer and causing the OS to crash because it couldn't monitor the internal/external IP mapping for all connections.

Phew.. Device isn't fault !!

I have been testing for 30 minutes now and no issue, before it would crash in 2 minutes.

_EDIT******______________________________________________________________

I spoke too soon, although it lasted about 1 hour this time, it still crashed.

It looks like im not the only one either, It seems to be an issue with the stock asian ROMS.

I am currently testing with PDANet and it has been working fine for 20 minutes, but I will update in a few hours.:eek:
[Desire General] MasDroid:
That should not happen. You will not need to apply any settings other than the ones in which you require to establish the connection and make it work.

Have you performed a factory reset to eliminate any software bugs?
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
Hi,

Yes I have performed a factory reset of device, and it still does the same. But it doesn't reboot any other time, Only when running internet sharing.

Im stumped.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
I would get it replaced then. You have not rooted it and it is running the stock rom so it should not be a problem to have it replaced as it is still under warranty. Just explain the problem you are facing and they should replace it without any fuss. Is the device completely brand new? I mean, could you tell whether it has been opened/used when you received it?
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
Yes, I just bought it yesterday. I just called and they are happy to swap for another new one, But the store is a bit of a drive and its a bit frustrating as everyone other part of the phone works great.

It was totally brand new when I bought it , sealed in box with the plastic seciruty covers still on device.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Maybe try swapping with another sd card. Also, it could be down to overheating. Does the battery get hot after 10 mins when it reboots itself? The battery could cause these reboots because as it may not produce enough power / ampere in that moment so that the device reboots. I don't suppose you have another battery to try?

[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
I am also using an Asian Rom, From Hong Kong.

Seems to be any load on the device overloads the NAT buffers and causes the os to crash.

I wil try PDA net today and see if the same problem occurs.
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
PDANET Test

I have just installed PDA net on my device and I'm downloading some torrents at 500kb's per second with no limit on concurrent connections. Been 10 minutes so far.

I will keep you updated!!!! Fingers Crossed.
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
Really Solved this time

PDA Net did the trick

It looks like there is definately a bug with the native internet sharing software for Asian 2.1 Rom.

I have been running PDAnet under High load for the last one hour and thirty minutes and no reboots.

I did get a USB error that popped up briefly from the PDA software, but I think that was because I picked up the device to check the heat. ( Temp is Warm, but definately not hot.
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
3 hours now and no issues. I have written a letter to HTC, but lets hope that the 2.2 is the fix all that they all think is going to be.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobecamp2009:
I think this is new cause I never saw it before. When you attatch a file to send in messages there is an option called slideshow. Is this new?
[Desire General] rogershroed1991:
My battery usually takes about 8-9 hours to charge (from about 10%, so it's charging a little over 10% per hour). I'm using the USB cable that was in the box, and it's plugged into my laptop. Is this normal? It seems like a ridiculously long time. If I bought a wall charger and used that instead would it charge faster? Or if I used the USB cable but with a desktop instead of a laptop?
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Usb will be slow its going to be the same on desktop or laptop. They just don't put out the juice. Wall charger is very fast to charge.
[Desire General] neur0x:
Should be MUCH faster with a wall charger, USB charges are usually quite slow.

EDIT: beat me to it... :P
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
Nah it's slow regardless of whether you charge it via USB or wall charger.

It's not the only phone that charges that slowly, e.g. the HTC Touch Cruise had the same issue (but not the HD and HD2).

One method to test this is to plug your phone in and use it heavily (e.g. for web surfing or GPS navigation).

Most phones will still charge the battery then, but the Desire is one of the phones that actually lose charge. It doesn't get enough charging current.

Sucks, but you can't do anything about it. It's a hardware design issue.
[Desire General] sfa:
Well my phone charges slow as f..... through the usb connected to a computer aswell.

But it charges in like an hour or two when connected to the wallcharger.
[Desire General] JohnSteveDoe:
Which, as mentioned, is normal.
[Desire General] Rofor:
Hi,

Was reading about this issue in some android-board a few days ago - just can talk for the htc desire, but there is something special in the combination of original usb-cable and original wallcharger!

Only with this combination the desire is loading with 1000mA - if you plug the desire to another wallcharger, even if this also supports 1000mA or more, or to a laptop or a pc, the desire will be loaded with only 500mA.

This would be normal for pc or laptop, as the usb-connectors don't support more - but it is strange that even on wallchargers with 1000mA or more the desire is also loaded only with 500mA!

On the desire you can check this under Settings-Telephone-Battery - if you're connected to pc, laptop or a not-original wallcharger, you can read here: Charging (USB), with the original wallcharger it reads Charging (AC)...
[Desire General] rogershroed1991:
Alright I went to a Verizon store and bought a generic micro USB wall charger and it's A LOT faster. It seems like it takes a little over 3 hours to charge, does that seem about right?
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Yeah that sounds about right really. Think mine does a full charge in roughly the same time from almost dead.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Bxsteez:
Is there an app that unifies the ring volume and media volume? Trying to get to the media volume is hassle sometimes. I know its suppose to be an automatic switch but most times it takes too long.

Volume Button Controller Unifies Volumes
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] parkson:
Try the app Quick Settings from the market. After install longpress search button for easy access
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Bxsteez:
That app doesn't unify the volume controls. It does make them easier to access but i'm looking for a unifier. I've searched around but for some reason i don't see any threads about this.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zeke1988:
try volume button controller, it can link all sound into 1 setting.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Bxsteez:
Thanks. I'm not really looking for a unified menu i'm looking for master volume control with the rocker switches. I did find Master Volume Controller which allows the rocker switches to control all volumes. Its a little rough though. Is there anything better that anyone knows about?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Bxsteez:
I stand corrected volume button controller does exactly what i want. Much more polished as well. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zeke1988:
any other thing i like about it, is it can lock volume of your choices and profile :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Solaris_irc:
i can't find the volume button controller app anywere, is it posible for some one to share it?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Bxsteez:
I'm thinking it got pulled from the market for some reason. I doubt it was by google but probably by the developer.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] lexdad86:
Audioguru works pretty well for changing audio settings
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xtada:
Is there any other app that serves the same purpose (unified volume control via volume rocker) ?

Volume Button Controller app unfortunately is unavailable :(

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ramLlama:
Hello all. I'm a first time poster, but have been following for a while. I started with ahmedfikry's winmo build on my ATT Tilt, and then moved to kalt_kaffe's VaniljEclair on SD card. Kalt, great work, I really appreciate it!

Thanks to everyone else too who has made the Tilt a usable device again!

Now, I'd like to give back to the community. I'm especially interested in enabling the cell-tower location. I know that with GPS, this may seem redundant, but I can almost never get a GPS fix, even after several minutes. (I'm in a very, very urban place right now). I am pretty sure that Cell-tower location is supported, going by results in WinMo. From quick searches, it seems few people have really thought about it or know where to look.

I have experience with Linux userspace and kernel programming, and feel I can help. Does anyone know where to start looking? Or should I just download the Android source and start poking around. Or is a userspace thing? (Seeing as location is so tied to Android, I'm guessing that even if it is a userspace thing, it is still in the Android sources.)

Thanks for everyone's help,

ramLlama

Asfaik cell tower location does not work with any build. I think something needs to be done i libhtcgeneric.so to get it working.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cb2002:
I'm interested to get the cell tower location working too, it's a bit faster than waiting for GPS lock for general location and background location services.

From what I have read, it seems that everything is almost working, just need a tiny fix somewhere in the RIL. I remember it is something like Android is looking for a hexadecimal value and the driver is returning a decimal value or something like that so all we need to do is fix a couple of printf converting it to get the correct value.

How it should work:

* Android wants the cellid

* Android polls the ril

* ril polls the tower

* ril responds to Android

* Android asks google where that tower is

* Location found.

That's what I have learned from following these threads that the RIL is returning the cellid in the wrong format:

http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualc...dfe8d73903986835fd05c4137?diffmode=sidebyside

And these threads here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5772680&highlight=ril#post5772680

Note later part of discussion is related to the Vogue which is CDMA. The Kaiser is GSM so according to the thread it should be the simpler fix.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
the source forge had a ril that i think has been worked on but not implemented in the libs that we use.

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

i keep trying to make time to compile and dev stuff but so far no dice.

example...the camera problem was solved months ago but implemented in the wrong tree and then given up on. basically someone with basic dev knowledge took those changes and put the in the right tree. i think something similar can be done here.

im not quite at the point to get it done. maybe after my next project.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ramLlama:
Ah, Thanks everyone. I'll take a look at those things through the week. If it really has been done, I might be able to get something through soon!

I haven't checked out the sources. If I have any questions about building, documentation, etc, I'll be sure to check back.

Has anyone made progress on this?

I'm looking but you all are far ahead.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
This is a great idea for sure. I will certainly lend a hand where I can.

That being said don't know if it is possible to OC the GPU. I remember discussing this with kmobs in the past and he didn't think so. Perhaps tweaking Open GL might prove more fruitful. All of this is definitely worth thinking about.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Hmm well that may be kind of a downer...

I know it sets the values somewhere, but I can't seem to find anywhere it could be setting them other than the kgsl stuff, and that doesn't have any effect on performance at all. Unless it could be set in hardware?

I don't really care about harming my Nexus at this point, now that I've upgraded to an Evo, so I'm willing to try dangerous kernels on my Nexus (read: any kernel changes I make :o).

If someone could give me any more ideas about where to look, I'd be greatful. I've gone through everything I can think of and it doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere closer.

P.S. I love your avatar jlevy! Simpsons FTW!
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
This is definitely for the kernel masters like Cyanogen, pershoot and kmobs to weigh in on. In the meantime I am going to rip through the code to see what I can find (if anything). To bad you are moving on to the EVO. We'll miss all of the great ideas/solutions you provide (well N1 user will)
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Thanks! I'll still be hanging around the N1 forums, since so much of the code is interchangeable with them both having the QSD chips and all. If you're looking through source, can you get with me on GTalk or Wave & we can work together on it. Also I've updated the first post with a little more info.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Sounds good, I will PM you my gtalk address.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
So I added the debug code. It shows that it is calling my code every time the GPU is initialized. This means it is setting the EBI1 clock to 245mhz instead of the original 128mhz. However I guess that is the wrong clock. it also defines 2 other clocks along with the EBI1 clock, however EBI1 is the only one that it sets a value for, the other 2 it just turns on (hardware values?).

:confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] intersectRaven:
After looking at the code, the clocks seem to be initialized at kgsl_platform_probe by clk_get. (correct me if I'm wrong since I'm a newbie at tracing through the GPU... :p)

*Nope...wrong analysis...that was the clock SOURCE instead of clock RATE... :p

**After looking through a bigger part of everything, I think you can't specifically overclock it. The way I see it, the clock source used by kgsl is unified with different clocks being set elsewhere. This is why you're not getting it to work. When it calls the kgsl part you modified, it sets to the modified clock BUT the moment it exits, some other part which uses the same clock source will reset it to 128Mhz. If you want to modify that, you'll pretty much have to modify everything which uses the same clock source. (again, correct me if I'm wrong but I think that pretty much describes what I'm seeing with the code...) :p
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Yeah, I think the other two value are hardware related. To find the right clock...
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
I think you are reading it correctly and that one would have to manipulate all the other values to ensure it won't reset to 128mhz. However, even if you do modify all that, there could be a master over-ride that controls the clock set at a pre-set value.

One interesting thing I did come across is one can write their own Open GL code. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/search/label/OpenGL ES

So if one could manipulate the values for Open GL, it would almost be equivalent to OC the GPU. Just a thought.
