The Meta file is for the update script. It has other uses but for ur purpose its for the update script which is the instructions the recovery uses to flash the theme. Like I stated before just use an existing one from a different theme or mod. Creating ur own is possible but not needed. Hit me up on gtalk if u want to ask me questions.

[Streak 5 Android Development] jkbuha:
Hello all,

Apologies if this is not the right section to post - though it might be if I'm able to lift the ROM off this engineering device :)

I've been trying to root/change the ROM of this sample Streak device I have access to, but to no avail. It's SIM unlocked, but clearly is an earlier SW (possbily HW) version. There's no access to fastboot (pressing the camera on boot gets me to the engineering test menu, no fastboot option).

Here's some additional information:

Modem (Baseband) Version: AUS_************51

Model Number: M01M

OEM Version: Unknown

Build number: 77910

Any ideas?

Thanks

jkbuha
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
I'd ask Paul at modaco. He seems to know his way around rooting..
[Streak 5 Android Development] jkbuha:
Thanks for the tip fards - I didn't really want to trouble Paul, but seeing as no one here has any ideas I'll drop him an email and see what his thoughts are.

cheers

[Streak 5 Android Development] dcaglia:
this sucks

Heres the boatloader !!! My touchscreen wont calibrate either nor will it go into fastboot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Try using the androot.apk since it doesnt require fastboot.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dcaglia:
well 1% progress...

im rooted but i cant downgrade or flash any rom im afraid to flash clockwork....I just found out how to get fastboot even on that screen tho!!!!!!!!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] untrueparadox:
thats interesting, australian version?

in any case, you can either root it via the universal root tool and do a nandroid backup, or you can yaffs2 it.

you need linux os on your computer, yaffs2, and the system folder from your device

# cd /where/your/dumped/system/folder/is
# ./mkfs.yaffs2 system /system.img
# exit

i have an engineering device too, the one with a sticker under the battery cover. just wondering, is there a FCC number for that one?
[Streak 5 Android Development] jkbuha:
Hi I'm back - apos for the delay

So here's an update...

I've managed to semi-brick my engineering (aus?) dell by issuing a fastboot -w and/or a fastboot flash boot/recovery without backing up my system first! Flashing any recovery image so far is unsuccessful.

Here's what I know so far:

Pressing volume down ONLY (not UP) on powerup goes directly to the fastboot menu. Right now that's the only thing that works - no recovery, booting.

I tried to flash the backup nandroid image kindly provided by one of the posters on this forum, but no luck. Boot/Recovery/System works but when flashing userdata with the data.img provided I get an error saying remote: too large.

Not sure if I have an FCC id - I'll check later

Any help appreciated!
[Streak 5 Android Development] untrueparadox:
if you can get into fastboot, i wonder if you can get into recovery?

its volume up+down+power on boot.

if you cant, try flashing to 2.1 using the american guide and see if it works. your device is already half bricked, so might as well give it a shot.

http://android.modaco.com/content-p...-devices-download-here/page/180/#entry1376331

theres also a few recoveries you can try, but the stock one wont do you any good since you dont have the baseband 51 rom.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jkbuha:
Thanks for the link - but same results unfortunately :(

Pressing up+down on power on takes me to a menu which says:

1) factory reset

2) update from .zip (NOTE: not pkg)

3) reboot

When pressing the second option the screen goes blank (I'm assuming it's trying to launch recovery) and depending on what recovery I've flashed it either goes to fastboot mode or the two icons start flashing on/off then stop altogether. It's never gone to a proper recovery menu, irrespective of the imgs I've flashed.

Anyone has a link to

(i) a humongous backlog of recovery roms

(ii) a set of nandroid img backups for the streak

Or any other ideas?

Thanks

[XPERIA X10 General] orualime:
here's the behavior of the phone.

- phone always restarts even when i'm not doing anything

- after restart, it will restart again after the loading screen (SE animation)

* this happens about 2-4x before it stays open and usable

- when charging phone, phone shut downs, no powering off phone dialog

- can't start phone after shutdown, phone just vibrates when powered on

- need to remove mc, sim and battery for about 5 mins before it can start

- now i can't really start the phone no matter what.

i've got the phone for 2 months now, and it just recently behaved like this. can someone tell what could cause all these behavior. really need your help guys.

thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
x10a or x10i? rooted or normal? what firmware are you running? and what's the last thing you remember doing before these events started to take place?
[XPERIA X10 General] cue_32:
^Excellent troubleshooting questions

I would also try using a different battery and see if that makes a difference.
[XPERIA X10 General] orualime:
x10i, normal, generic phone, R1FA014

from davinciteam -> X10i R1FA014 0001 CUSTOMIZED PH/SENSUOUS BLACK GENERIC

I live in the Philippines

last thing i did:

if you're referring to this:

- phone always restarts even when i'm not doing anything

* this happens when i'm just browsing the contents of the phone. not using any app or file manager. just looking what apps i've got through the pull up menu, the properties of the phone. basically nothing that important

if you're referring to this:

- now i can't really start the phone no matter what.

*last thing i did was charged my phone but then it shut down, and it won't start up again
[XPERIA X10 General] cue_32:
First of all... mabuhay and mga Pinoy! :)

Does SEUS pick up the phone?

Can you get in to Flash Mode at least or when you say not booting up at all, you mean... no power whatsoever?

Have you tried a different battery?
[XPERIA X10 General] orualime:
SEUS can detect it. There are two options right now (1) Update and (2) Factory Reset + Update. I don't to flash as much as possible cause I haven't backed up the phone yet. Will (1) Update erase my contacts and messages? There are important messages in my phone.

About the not booting up. No nothing, the phone just vibrates when I power it on. Nothing happens.

About the battery. Haven't tried a different one cause I don't know anyone else who has an x10. How much would the battery cost here?
[XPERIA X10 General] stevencxr:
or the phone just short-circuited?
[XPERIA X10 General] orualime:
what do you mean? i don't know if the phone short-circuited.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3mm:
To elaborate further.....

I have my default keyboard set to Swype. At first I struggled with this keyboard but gave it some time loving it now so I regularly use this to type SMS super quick.

However, when I am browsing internet, I prefer the standard HTC QWERTY keyboard as its easier to type in web addresses

Maybe I am being too fussy, but can I set my SMS keyboard default to Swype and my Opera kepyboard default to the HTC QWERTY keyboard?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] there_are_four_lights:
I am unable to download files from mediafire links, is anyone else having this issue?
[HTC Aria General] fred57:
Does anyone know if it is possible to install Windows Mobile 6.5 (from the Aria's brother, the HTC Mini). I want to buy an Aria--but if it can not upgrade to Andriod 2.2 with more Bluetooth calling functionality, I actually prefer Windows Mobile with Microsoft's Voice Command.

This topic died, but I want to resurrect it.

In response to those that asked if I am crazy, of course I am. But that is not why I wanted to run WM 6.5.x on the Aria. Here are my reasons:

1)	The HTC HD Mini (an Aria running WM 6.5) has 900 and 2100 for HSDPA bands. I am on AT&T which uses the 850 and 1900 bands for HSDPA. So I can’t get a high speed connection on the Mini. But the Aria has the AT&T bands.

2)	Android is fine, but I prefer WM (no, this is not crazy). I want WM 6.5.x because I am hooked on having the ability to effectively use voice dialing with 2,000+ contacts, having my callers name announced, having my appointments read, and having email sender and subject read (if I want), all over the phone speaker OR Bluetooth earpiece. Tried Android, and it can’t do any of that.

3)	I want to easily sync my phone calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, and favorites directly with my PC and my laptop, ActiveSync does it perfectly—Android does not.

Does anyone know how to install WM 6.5.x on the Aria? Any ideas? Thanks.
[HTC Aria General] waltah!:
It can be upgraded to Froyo and I'd expect it to be later this year.
[HTC Aria General] khaytsus:
ugh... Just buy the HD Mini.
[HTC Aria General] fred57:
Thanks. That justifies the purchase now.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Why? What do we expect in AT&T's version of Froyo that we aren't getting now?
[HTC Aria General] ElCondor:
The main question is still being leaved unanswered: It is never possible to install WM on an Android phone.
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
Im suprised that people want windows mobile on android phones. The only thing i really like about windows mobile is MS Office. But honestly, there is little to no chance of ever getting windows mobile on an android device.
[HTC Aria General] fillmanw1:
Why is this. What is there to keep WM from working on the HTC Aria. I am not a programer and I shure do not understand the innerworking of cell phone operating systems. I own several HD2 phones and found it to be very simple to install cooked roms. I have spent the past two days reading through the forums on the Aria and am not any closer to understanding what is needed to be done to get there. Anyway, It would be nice to see WM working on the Aria.
[HTC Aria General] TeCH-Guruz:
The aria is just a hd mini with android you want winmo get hd mini check the specs they are pretty much identical
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
Um im not 100% sure on this

But i believe the bootloaders are different for windows mobile and android phones. There phones are also partitioned differently and just because the phones have identical specs doesn't mean it uses identical components and drivers. I.e. the wifi chip could be a different type, the speakers might be different, you would have to find the correct drivers, IF it were even possible to use the bootloader to boot windows mobile. Its not as simple as flashing an htc hd mini rom to an aria because the phones look the same. But if you really want windows mobile so bad, id say just buy a windows mobile phone.
[HTC Aria General] Shovelhead84:
I could be wrong as I am not a cook but from what I understand;

Android seems to work well at adapting to different operating environments. The core is just more versatile than WinMo. A lot of that comes from the more open development environment of Linux and proprietary nature of Microsoft. Android is made to just work unlike Microsoft's archaic mobile platform.

I think of it like this;

Android(Linux) = Nails, They will simply drive into nearly anything and function.

Windows = Screws, Things have to line up perfectly, you usually have to pre-drill, and it takes a lot of twisting.

There seems to be enough failed WM phones out there anyway. I hate to see someone take a functional phone and cripple it. My old tilt went through maybe 15 different WM ROMs and none of them worked as smoothly as Android.
[HTC Aria General] qualnd:
Juss buy a mini f@ck up the Aria with the outdated stupidity off windows mobile that's like going from a bently(android) to a Buick(WinMo)... DON'T DO IT!!!!

Blackbery Curve 8330>Blackberry Pearl Flip>HTC FUZE>HTC Tilt 2>HTC Aria
[HTC Aria General] uberamd:
A Buick? You're giving WinMo too much credit.
[HTC Aria General] Exador:
That's an awesome analogy, I'm gonna have to use it sometime.

I know the HD2 guys are porting Android over to their WM phones. This is the first time I've heard of anyone wanting to go the other way though.
[HTC Aria General] ocswing:
It seems most of the discussion is Android vs. WM, but I think some people just want to know if it's possible to put WM on an Android device.

In all likelihood it probably is though with limited functionality. However there aren't many, if any, devs that are interested in trying to get it to work. For the most part Android has taken over the crown for people who want to tinker with their phone. Even while I had a WM phone it was obvious most of the devs were moving to Android phones, or just porting Android to the WM devices. If you really want WM the easiest way is probably to just get a WM phone, or you'll probably have to do your own work in trying to port.
[HTC Aria General] qualnd:
LOL well i have to i had WinMo at 1 point LMAO
[HTC Aria General] dandrumheller:
Having not used MS Voice Command I'm not sure exactly what features you are looking for, but Attn1's CM6 Liberty ROM for the Aria has functioning voice dialing over bluetooth.

Can anyone confirm if the new firmware has fixed the GPS issues that some are having. Specifically, does GPS Test show a consistent, stable lock on satellites with a constant accuracy of 16ft or better? Ideally, can you post a screenshot of GPS Test in action with the new f/w.

If your GPS was stable before, I guess there's not much to say, unless you noticed it got worse.

I re-partitioned my SD card just to be sure (32 / 512 / the rest) with the same results. Don't know if it's because of the ROM or a2sd. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you diagnose the problem.

EDIT: I know that there were problems other a2sd solutions and the Legend, the fix was to put a short sleep in the a2sd script, don't know if this is of any help to you..
[Legend Android Development] tkirton:
Your boot sequence is working similar to the Desire (with one exception...yours isn't rebooting when it tries to mount /system as read-write).

Try Preview Fix 3 Test 1: http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5-pf3-test1-signed.zip

This uses the flash to put the sd directory in /system. It also removes almost all references to remount /system as read-write (the only exception: JIT)

[Legend Android Development] tkirton:
The dalvik-backup is pretty normal...it just means it couldn't find those files in /system/bin. Some roms have it, some don't.

The copying to the /system/bin and /system/lib concerns me...I checked the code, and the busybox cp command is told to force the copy (-f parameter). It doesn't look like that's happening here. I'll look into it and see if I can find out why that's happening.
[Legend Android Development] frullewulle:
maybe you have to symlink those files afterwards ...
[Legend Android Development] schpinn:
OK, if there's anything I can do to help you diagnose the problem please let me know.

EDIT: typo.
[Legend Android Development] tkirton:
The only thing I can think of is the /system partition isn't switching to read-write or there's a NAND protection on it. I would think I would get some other error, i.e. read only system error.

I'll see if there's another way to put JIT on a Legend.
[Legend Android Development] tkirton:
Will do. I'm going to look for an alternative method to add JIT.

My problem is that it creates badly the run where they owe the apks to be preserved, to it creates here him to me:

instead that to create here it:

/ system/sd/app

and if I check with adb shell (-> su -> ls -l /data) I don't find me these lines:

Is there a remedy? :confused:

[Legend Android Development] schpinn:
After a clean install of the latest Indigo Bean I flashed Darktremor again, ran a2sd jit in recovery, after rebooting got a bunch of FCs (phone and gapps if I'm not mistaken) and the device became totally unusable. Is this somehow fixable?
[Legend Android Development] schpinn:
This is what logcat had to say:
[Legend Android Development] tkirton:
Thought I replied to this earlier...guess not.

JIT and SenseUI don't tend to work well together. Not sure if that's the issue here...I see you have a Low Memory issue (this looks oddly like the one that Flipzmode had on his).

Three things you can try:

1. Download 2.7.5 Preview Fix 4 - This was rebuilt last night due to the same issue you are seeing. I have tested on the Hero and all works well...unfortunately, I don't see the same issue you are seeing (or that Flipzmode saw). Hopefully, the rebuild will stop that.

2. After applying Dalvik JIT, erase the entire Dalvik-Cache (a2sd resetcache)

3. Increase the Dalvik Heap Size: 24mb = a2sd largeheap, 32mb = a2sd jumboheap.
[Legend Android Development] schpinn:
You actually had already answered, my bad, I crossposted this to the original discussion thread, sorry for that.

I tried the new version, but it got me stuck in a bootloop. Also tried using the old version again, increasing the Dalvik heap size, but it didn't help. And I always cleaned my Dalvik cache when enabling JIT.
[Legend Android Development] tkirton:
Can you send me a logcat to rtkirton@gmail.com? If I can see what's going on, I may be able to fix it.

Also, make sure you are using at least PF4 (PF4a fixes an error I didn't catch when debugging PF4). I ended up rewriting it due to a mysterious low memory condition that cropped up in the Evo (may also have affected the Desire, Legend and Incredible...but it didn't show up in the Hero).
[Legend Android Development] tkirton:
Your rom isn't starting Apps2sd.

You'll have to break down the boot image, modify the init.rc to add the lines of code to launch apps2sd, reassemble the boot image, then flash it to your phone.
[Legend Android Development] tkirton:
Could be that the rom is loaded with SenseUI. I believe to get the JIT working correctly, you have to switch to another launcher other than SenseUI.

But, it could also be issues with the Apps2SD. Try the latest version (PF4a) and see if that fixes anything. If not, let me know and I'll continue working with you on it.
[Legend Android Development] tkirton:
The rom may not have the code to actually launch apps2sd.

You can talk to the developer, or give me a few days and I'll see if I can get you a test boot image.
