[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
I'm new to the Android world, but not to Linux/Solaris/BSD; even though they are supposedly cousins I still have that doubt in my mind.

Therefore, can some one with more coding experience tell me if it's safe to assume we can recompile anything made for Linux to work in Android? or it's not as simple as it seems say like Linux/Unix/Solairs/BSD ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husq510:
Android is Linux.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bookwormat:
Android runs on a linux kernel, but it is not a traditional gnu/linux system. There is not even a glibc.

On top of the kernel is a managed virtual machine based on (but not compatible to) the Java platform, and a completely different api stack against which you build applications.

See http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicdroid:
yes, you can cross compile linux stuff to run on your android device (but there could be limitations since it's not running a complete linux OS).

a good example is busybox.

you can also install Android Scripting Engine to run python, ruby, perl & shell scripts from the android UI.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adriaaaaan:
Yes, but not in the way you think.

Android doesn't have standard libraries and no x windows (so no gui apps).

Basically you still have to do a full port unless its a simple CLI app
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Thanks for all the helpful info.

I'm sure that most apps or "replacement" apps are already available for anything we can imagine, but there will always be that one app that you need but it's not available.

in those cases, it might be easier to recompile the application to run in Android, asuming it is compatible; in the worst case scenario, it might require a complete port as mentioned above.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theGanymedes:
You can, but you have two (or three, if my trials are worth it :)) ways to do it:

1 - You statically compile (cross-compile, actually) all linux application you want (be careful of the dependencies tho ;) ). This way isn't what I prefer since applications become huge when they're statically linked.

2- You compile Bionic C library (which is embedded to android system) for your cross compiler first, then you can compile applications with it. This is one way to do it, but Binoic library is a trimmed library, so you might not compile everything.

3* (still developmental :) ) - You can compile GlibC first for your device, then compile your applications. The problem with that is GlibC is huge and you have to find a way to tell your Android system to look for GlibC libraries as well.

I'm currently working on step 3 now; will see what it brings : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299962 . You can read it here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] qambutt:
Hi have recently purchased my galaxy s , it was freezing etc so i decided to do a factory reset , However prior to reset , I had 2 samsung apps which i used and now missing these were ,

1-samsung im Instant Messenger

2-samsung email and not he default icon showing email.

This link will show you the icons and also confirm that i am talking real. the link

is youtube.com/watch?v=Uk84hFv5MxM

The samsung email app allows you to add email account such as hotmail and yahoo and then syncs in real time not the default 5min etc and so on this is real time push . I am surprised no one has talked about this particular app as so many people want real time push email by default .

I have contacted samung support which were appalling as usual stating i should return the device and they didnt even know what i was talking about.

Anyhow i have flashed the device with several firmwares and i cant seem to find these two apps and i really want them particualary the samsung email client ,

Can someone advise if they have these two apps and which firmware they are using or which firmware i will need, i have checked samsung website for manual downloads but with no luck.

I also recieved a link with samsung apps which did not have the 2 i need, im wondering if samsung have removed them or they were intially intended for the asian market but how can that be as the presentation by samsung boasted about the galaxy s (Socail Hub ) which these two are part of so were are they.

I am using this device in the uk and I will appreciate your help in this matter

Thanks

Hey folks,

I am running DC 2.09.1, and the audio loss bug has started happening to me again. It had been fixed and I was experience no audio loss in 2.07 and 2.08, but since I've upgraded to 2.09.1, I've had the audio loss again. It wasn't immediate, though...it didn't start until a week or so after I did the upgrade.

It seems like it's getting worse day by day... I've already had to restart my phone 3 times today, and about the same yesterday too.

Is there a confirmed fix for this somewhere, and I'm just not looking in the right place, or will I have to wipe and drop back down to one of the older releases?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Have you removed any apks using adb? This audio loss with DC only seemed to happen to me if I removed apks from /system/app via adb. If I left the regular DC install untouched, I'm pretty sure I never got the audio loss bug.

If that's not it, then I don't know what it could be.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvermillion:
Yeah, but that didn't cause any issues before, and the audio loss returned before I started removing things.

I wiped everything, re-partioned sd-card and tried to install a new ROM..

But something have happend..

After i re-patrioned / wiped... and flash the rom (have tried a lot of ROM's now) i get errors..

Install from sdcard

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/Cronos-2-0J_.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

Happends now on every rom i install, have already tried again to re-partion.

What is the most basic way to re-partion ? settings i mean?

Anyone know what could be the problem..

The zip files cant be corrupt either.

* I also noticed that if i upload a ROM-file, then re-partion and wipe everything..

The rom is still on the sd-card..

I then deleted the rom from sdcard and re-partion again, and still..even duo i already deleted the file.. its there?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebxd:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dario3040:
If you ecejt the SD card before its done (or eject it wrong) you may and up with a bad file.

What you could do is:

Format your SD card.

Then put a rom on it.

Then go to my pc, and find ur card, then right click and select eject :cool:
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feeyo:
Yea something strange with your sdcard.

Try as they stated above. Remove the sdcard from your phone. Insert it back in.

Try to reformat it with a different sdcard setup like: no swap, no ext only fat32.

Then check if the card is still behaving the same if not good. If so maybe the sdcard is just defect?

Good Luck.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adwinp:
Did you flash an exotic recovery image by any chance?

You can always reflash 1 back by pushing it to /cache/ and flashing from there.

A radical way to overcome this would be to delete the partition table on your SDcard and let your current rom reformat it.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziggy1001:

I assume you saved the old image you were using and put it back on your sd card
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganii:
Yes,maybe you recovery image is damaged.

Try to install again!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
It sounds like your sd card is not actually partitioning since the rom is still on the sd card. To partition the sd manually try this:

I'm going to assume the following:

You are using Amon Ra recovery

You have not downloaded Clock Work recovery

You can still get into recovery using Amon Ra

You have SDK and JDK installed

You're using windows

Plug your phone into the computer. Open a command prompt (hit start and type cmd and press enter). Direct it to read from the tools directory of sdk " cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" for most people. Now follow the directions from this how-to http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/. Stop after step 4 and type "quit" unless you plan on repartioning your sd card (in which case, choose which partitions you wish to make). Move the new rom you want to boot to the sd card and try again.

A quick n00b question...

I'm currently using 1.47 OTA version, but if I follow the instruction, will I be still at 1.47 or will the version be reverted to 1.32 with full root? It sounds like Simpleroot will revert the version to 1.32, but just wondering how this will result in after the full root of 1.47.

Thanks a lot for the detailed instruction!
[EVO 4G Android Development] beesneazy:
Sweet, think I am getting somewhere. I went and checked to see if I was in fact rooted from when I tried following the first 1.47 OTA root guide. I get the # sign, thinking I should be good. But I guess I never went and took care of the superuser control. I type su in cmd and nothing prompts on my phone. Was this supposed to have happened at the very end of my root attempt? I didn't see it in the guide ... seemed as if when the guide ended it suggested that was it.

Unless something didn't properly get done ... but I got through the entire guide without any errors ... everything appeared to have been finished. superuser apk, from the market, effectively do the job, or is it all the same?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, feel like something extremely minor is holding me back. Holding me down. -_-'
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
If you are seeing the # then you should be all set.

The current Market version of Superuser is not the most up to date I believe.

whitslack has a flashable zip in his thread about fixing 4G that allows you to install the most up to date version.

This would only be needed I would think if you are staying on rooted stock. Most chefs include the SU app.

Hope that answers your question.

Edit:Come to think of it-even rooted stock should have the latest su app. So my question to you is after completing the root what ROM did you jump to?

Like I said above, if you have a # you should be all set but I don't *think* you are on 1.47 after this process, check your software #.

@st0921-this would apply to your question too. Since at the end of the process you flash the eng-PC36 my guess is that you are not on 1.47.

I say "guess" because I was safely rooted before the OTA and not run this process.

CLARIFICATION-As I state below eng-PC36 unlocks NAND so while you may be on 1.47 it is not a rooted ROM. You'll need to flash a rooted version of 1.47.

[EVO 4G Android Development] JuggZaPoppiN:
If we are adding a custom rom, do we just add the zipped rom file to the sd card, or do I unzip it, then add to sd card?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beesneazy:
Thanks a lot for the response, am also getting a little assistance from another forum member (vballboarder) and I think I get what the problem might be. Am going to try it in a minute.

Thing is, and I'll try to word this as best I can, is that I went through the guide, no problems, got to the end and it all seemed to go. At the end of the post it linked to Toast's 2nd part so I thought that was, naturally, the next step. I guess I was under the impression that the superuser icon would show up when I booted back into the phone. It wasn't there so I didn't want to proceed and possibly mess something up.

FW version: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: 1.36.00.04.02

Kernel version: 2.6.29-as94cf60 / htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build number: 1.17.651.1 CL160858 test-keys

Software number: 1.17.651.1

Browser version: WebKit 3.1

PRI version: 1.34_003

PRL version: 60662

Like I said, I didn't want to proceed with fear of doing something irreversible. Things have changed, no doubt.

"forum user": "So, did you not do the 1.47 ROM? You just rooted and stopped? If you do the 1.47 rooted rom you won't have any problems at all, and it includes the superuser app."

^^^ Is this seriously all I need to do now? I am confusing the hell out of myself I think.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cw269484:
I CANT COMPLETE STEP 5Q! :S i have successfully completed all the previous steps and everything comes out as instructed.... any tips?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Do not unzip. Just place it on your card in its zipped form.

Ah, gotcha. Yup, pick the ROM of your choosing and flash it.

I'm trying to unroot and run this process so I have a better understanding but I'm having RUU issues.

I think the process is giving you root access on your non-rooted ROM. In general this is not a good idea as things won't gel, even if you install SU.

So flash custom or rooted stock and you should be fine.

Toast Part 2 unlocks NAND, it doesn't install a ROM per se.
[EVO 4G Android Development] st0921:
Thanks for the clarification. So, if I want a rom with 1.47 update built-in, then i can flash a custom rom at step 5AD) after i save the zip file into the sd card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] beesneazy:
Ahh ok, reading comprehension has taken a serious hit lately. Or something.

So when flashing this ROM, I then proceed to the second step, nand backup for future purposes, and then it's go time?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
From what I know that step is tricky as it requires good timing/ What exactly are you seeing?

You got it!

You COULD Nand backup at that point thought I'm not sure of the point of having that ROM backed up, like I said (and could be wrong) you have a non-rooted version of 1.47.

I would flash the next ROM, set it up, and back THAT up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beesneazy:
Well, about to run through this thread;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

Sounds like it would also fix my WiMAX radio which hasn't been working since going through the initial root process. And then, as I'm told, this will give me my superuser access? That's the idea I'm getting, then I could set everything back up. Back it up, and if I wasn't feeling future ROMs I could go back if I chose, or try another. Apps and such? I didn't really "set" things up the first time around as I was expecting to go through this and get it going.

Or, once again, am I wrong? LOL I hate to clutter the thread. -_-'
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
It's all good my Friend. You are on the right track for sure.

I dont have 4G but I did run through whitslacks steps. That will give you a rooted stock ROM with the updated wimax and radio. (and SuperUser once you flash the included zip) It will work as long as your mac address isnt busted.

If you run that and everything is ok then backing that up would be a good idea.

Whether you back it up immediately post flash or after you have all your settings and apps the way you like them is completely up to you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beesneazy:
