the important bit is 2.08.0000

Stock ends .0000, hspl ends .hspl

You;re good to go.
[HD2 General] jas0nw0ng:
Thank you sir. So the rest of it is varies on each hd2?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
there are some slight differences here and there between hardware versions, and maybe spl versions too (well, appart from teh version number, of course, heh), my first line ends HX-BC for example, but its the .0000 /.hspl part that is important.
[HD2 General] jas0nw0ng:
Thank you sir!
[XPERIA X10 General] vrgolin:
ok guys hope can some one orient me, i just recived from a precent this divice, i never had a sony divice, so, if i want a custom rom , what is the first thing i have to do?,

what do you mean to root it?

how do i know if my divice is a Xperia 10a or Xperia 10i?

I can see this is totaly difrent from HTC HD2 so iam lost, i dont know where to start, so apreciate if some can orient me, thanx in advance. and sorry by my inglish.
[XPERIA X10 General] Fuzalert2k:
At this time, there are NO custom roms available. You can root it by following the stickied guide.
[XPERIA X10 General] vrgolin:
what do the root does to the divice? what is the change by making this root?
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Hi.

Wait eagerly like the rest of us.

This is how it was explained to me...

Should tell you on the box.

Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware!
[XPERIA X10 General] fogozito:
how much did u pay for ur phone, i am interested getting one.
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Methinks the OP is a troll.

Anyway, depending on where you live, you might be able to pick one up on Craigslist for virtually nothing. I paid $325 CDN for mine, and it is 99.9% brand new, is unlocked, comes with box, receipt, extra screen protector applied, and rubber case.

In my area, most of the sellers are asking $400 CDN for sealed models, but if you wait, you should be able to score one for $350. I actually bought one brand new for exactly $350 last week, then sold it because I hated Rachel at first. However, I was longing for the X10 again and lucked out the other day when I found another one on CL.

eBay prices seem to be 15% higher than CL.
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
400 is cheap. I wish i brought one instead of taking roger's plan. i had to pay 150 bucks and stuck on 3 years. But i will have to pay them eventually anyway.
[XPERIA X10 General] egzthunder1:
Watch the language fellas. Also, please stop flaming the OP.
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Tell me about it. In Vancouver, there are over a dozen of them for $400. I had the Liquid E, which is a very underrated phone, but for LESS than the Acer, I could get the X10, so it was a no-brainer. Sure, the Liquid has Eclair now, but we will get the last laugh when FroYo arrives.
[XPERIA X10 General] ClintonH:
You can get em here Edmonton for $350 pretty easy, I payed $325 for mine. There a shop across town the sells em brand new unlocked for $450.
[Vibrant General] crater:
I bought my N1 with no contract, so on T-mobile i can get a Vibrant for like 160 if i renew for 2 more years. I already have my N1, is there a compelling reason to go for the Vibrant? Besides the nice screen does it do anything better than the N1 already can?
[Vibrant General] dublued:
Better Camera for pictures

720p HD video recording and playback (not sure if N1 can do 720p play back)

Pocket $200+ when you sell your N1
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
I just sold my Nexus One this morning. I'm having a lot more fun with the Vibrant!
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
There are some people on this forum that went from the N1 to Vibrant; I don't know if I would. The Vibrant is really nice, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. If I were in your shoes I'd wait and see what comes out later this year. Gingerbread will be out by the end of the year, and there are supposed to be some killer devices coming out to go with it.

However I did come from an N900 so it's not like I was really doing that bad, either...
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
If I had a N1 I would wait for the next gen phones before upgrading (end of year, early 2011). Unless you have to have the latest and greatest, then buy the Vibrant and get the next gen when it comes out as well.
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
Here's a new vid that just came out,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFPtV8I2BRQ&feature=player_embedded#!
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
I sold my n1 for this. I think its a good upgrade... there's a few things I miss but the fact that its harder to replace since I can get it replaced in stores and Google's done making em..

Also I needed a true MT screen and the gpu. Other than that I thing there pretty even. Oh and this gorgeous screen....
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Non-rooted Nexus One can't do 720p.. but if you root it and apply the hack (or ROM includes it) then it can do 720p recording on the Nexus.
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
The Vibrant cannot do 720p playback, the resolution of the phone can only do 480p at the most. It can play 720, but it will have no benifit vs a 480 version of the same clip. The nexus can play the same resolution clips that the vibrant can, but the vibrant has more video codecs to play.
[Vibrant General] OolonColuphid:
I wouldn't have gone from N1 to Vibrant. There is not enough of a difference
[Vibrant General] Seraph321:
I have the N1 and won't be changing. I bought a Vibrant for dev at work and thought I might switch personally but you currently give up as much as you gain. The positives are listed above, but you lose:

-froyo (for now)

-trackball (nice sometimes)

-camera flash

-future 'first' Android updates

Plus, the annoying home button lag is real. Sounds like the only way to currently fix is is rooting and moving over all the apps to NAND, which negates the app storage advantage (which was initially my biggest want).
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
- Trackball: Swype has a trackball in it.. sort of but works well

(Taken from Sticky thread)

- Camera flash: People exaggerate the importance of it but really its not even needed.. Check: http://www.tmonews.com/2010/07/is-the-samsung-vibrant-night-mode-a-worthwhile-replacement-to-flash/

- Future 'first' Android update: thats what rooting is for. CyanogenMod6 is in the works on being ported to Vibrant with WesGarner (well known dev) working on it.

Hi,

when i tried running the Haret soft ware on my phone with the defult.txt document i kept receiving PLEASE SET START OF RAM (RAMADDR).

So i opened the default doc

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000

set MTYPE 1667

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

but when i added

set RAMADDR 0X10000000

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000

set MTYPE 1667

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

and tried running the Haret i get a whole new error message saying

terminating Haret due to unhandled exception

what does that mean. Please help and Thanks in Advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nirvanafreak919:
just making sure... but are you running it from your sd card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] evolutionqy7:
im sorry but how hard is it to read the post FAQ & Instructions on hd2 android discussion?

download > extract > copy paste into sd card > run Haret and ur done
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bimboy:
OP: you have the wrong device type (mtype) specified... Leo = 2524. mtype 1667 = HTC Kaiser, I believe...

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x20000000

set ramsize 0x0fc00000

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set cmdline ""

boot

If you have a Leo (HD2), then you grabbed the wrong startup (and likely wrong HaRET version)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] miksi:
Haret

My T8585 won't boot with

It has to be

Don't understand why.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] red.on.fire:
check your radio.

I had this problem after flashing an official ROM. Took me ages to notice it had installed a lower Radio :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nunsnmoses:
Assuming you have gotten andoird working - why dont you just use this setting

set RAMSIZE 0x1A000000 (412MB) = 32*7

HD2 has 484MB right

I Tried 0x1C000000 - but that bum'd out .. so reducing it by 32MB , (maybe the working memory needed for the loaders to work ? .. who knows) ..

works fine now ..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
uhmmm....it should be called startup.txt not default.txt, that's a good place to start :) (no pun intended)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sh1fty7:
Here is my issue

Downloaded the American Android 2.3 for TMOUS->Extracted Android folder to blank SD card /sdcard/Android->Opened up file manager on HTC HD2 /sdcard/Android and ran clrcad.exe got the untrusted popup clicked okay->Ran haret.exe got popup again clicked okay then saw a few white command lines (maybe 5) then the green HTC logo appears and sits there for ever. I let it sit for 30 min and no change had to pull the battery and restart windows. Phone is up to date only difference might be is it has been unlocked through T-Mobile. Does anyone know how to avoid this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] war3s:
Yeah i got the same problem, tryed to change the, rel_path location in the, startup.txt but nothing helps :/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sh1fty7:
If you find a solution elsewhere let me know, I'm still looking. Are you trying to install the American Android 2.3 Gingerbread ROM? That is the only one I have tried because I have heard it's the best with fewest bugs.

[Touch2 General] sebaseba78:
Hi i have a htc touch 2, i installed tom tom navigator 7 that works very well, but it takes a long of time to capture gps signal and a low low signal, no bars!! The only gps configuration i find in tom tom is select device (internal gps), Quick Gps is updated, the configuration in External Gps is:

Gps data port: com4 (porta dati gps in italian)

Gps hardware port: Nothing (porta hardware Gps in italian)

Speed (baud): 4800

auto manage gps: yes (gestisci automaticamente gps in italian)

I hope in a big help and i have a question: how can i see if my internal gps works fine?

thanks guys........

ROM Version: 1.28.408.3

ROM data: 09/16/09

Tom tom: App version 7450 (9028)

Driver gps v1.20

I also found the gps settings in tom tom but i didn't find a way to receive an acceptable signal
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
Hello, usually the first time when you start using TomTom it can take a while......the settings seem ok. How many satellites does it normally catch; 6 is low and it can go up to 14/15. Can you check this?

Have you tried a soft reset?
[Touch2 General] sebaseba78:
Hi Frank, thanks for your answer, tom tom catches 0 satellites, i don't know why I'm able to navigate regardless.

I read in xda that tom tom usually doesn't use very well internal gps without a software launched before who manage internal gps.... are you agree? Can u suggest me one of these software?

Ah, yes i tried a soft reset but nothing changed
[Touch2 General] sebaseba78:
:-(

Now i realize also google maps doesn't work, it's the first application who needs gps that i launched and it worked, now searching to solve my problem i noticed it doesn't work anymore.............. :-(
[Touch2 General] nachoaguera:
Hi sebaseba78,

I have de same problem that you, if you can find a solution, please say to me at: nachoaguera@hotmail.com.

Thanks!!
[Touch2 General] fabcal:
I have same issue with previous version of tom tom 7. But installing TT7 Black theme without bluetooth work fine.

Obviously in a building has never tried any GPS device (from tom tom go and ending with the HTC and the gps marine my father). Even if the signal was low with the version you use, thanks all'agps should engage quickly. If you see the correct location on the map is not worrying phenomenon. It works equally well.

Search in this forum version of tomtom black theme without bluetooth (reactivation map needed)
[Touch2 General] Bareq:
hi there I have the same problem with GARMIN mobile xt and NAVITEL navigator there is no satellite signals (0 satellites) note that it was working very well before, I hope there is a solution for this problem but when i made a soft reset the problem was solved

Is anyone else getting horrible 3G connections? I'm in Marietta, Ga. Im getting on average .34 mbps down and .23 up. On wifi at home I'm getting around 14.31 down and 4.00 up.
[Vibrant General] BigWorldJust:
Yeah I have pretty bad 3G coverage over here in NYC as well.
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:

[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Congestion is the number one cause of slow 3G. Is Marietta going HSPA+?

To the others the OP isn't talking about coverage if you didn't understand.

No, I meant my 3G is slow because of the coverage I am having as well, lol.

[Vibrant General] mnotz:
I am really on the fence on this at the moment. I do love the phone, but when I have my HD2 and my Vibrant in the same spot, holding them the same way, here in my office, the HD2 has a solid 4 bar 3G signal, whereas the Vibrant has 0 to 1 bar, switching between 3G and Edge back and forth.

I think I give it another few days, trying a few different locations, but was just wondering if anyone else experiences something like this, before I go through RMA'ing it and reinstalling everything, etc...

I am very disappointed with Tmobile's 3G speed. With Good signal strength, it averages 0.75 mbps down 0.7 mbps up. Will this get better when HSPA+ is available?
[Android Software Development] daktah:
thanks to this page for teaching me: http://www.robmcghee.com/android/creating-an-android-update-zip-package/

note: although i am copying this from the page, this isnt a straight ctrl+c, ctrl+p from it. ive rewritten it with slightly more english. ok alot more.

before we start, grab ppcgeeks auto signer here, or nothing will flash anyway. its the easiest method since its drag, drop, and click.

also i recommend 7-zip but its not necessarily needed.

first step, make the folder structure.

ive included prebuilt updates to make it a little faster for you. they contain no actual files, just the appropriate folder structure and update script. they must be resigned if you add files and expect to flash them.

if what your looking for isnt included, make a folder and name it "workdir". this will contain your work.

this is just to make it easier to organize all your stuff. if you feel so inclined you can name it whatever you want, it doesnt really matter.

next youll need to make folders inside the workdir according to where your flashing stuff, ie if your flashing wallpapers youd need to make a structure that looks like this: "workdir/system/customize/resource"

next to make the update-script. this tells the system what to do.

first make this folder structure: "workdir/META-INF/com/google/android"

make sure you

capitalize

"META-INF"

now put a text file into the "android" folder and call it "update-script"

the easiest way to code it would be to copy this into it:

show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:(x) (X):
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 (X):(y)
show_progress 0.1 10

replace the (x) with the directory in the root your flashing to in lowercase, ie system or data or sdcard.

replace the (X)'s with the same thing as (x) except in UPPERCASE such as SYSTEM or DATA or SDCARD.

replace the (y) with the next directory in lowercase like media or app or customize.

note: if your adding to the root of (X) folder then leave this blank, no spaces or anything.

if your flashing an app it should look something like this:

show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app
show_progress 0.1 10

after youve done that, save and close the file. now you need to take the extension off of the text file. simply delete the .txt at the end of the file.

if there is no extension showing, make sure you have "hide extensions for known file types" unchecked in tools> folder options> "view" tab.

second to last step! compress the workdir contents into a zip file, not the actual workdir though. it should look like this inside the zip: "update.zip/(folders)" not "update.zip/workdir/(folders)"

finally, sign the zip with the auto signer and put it into the root of the sd card.

boot into recovery and flash it up! with a bit of luck, it should work.

if you have any questions, problems, or concerns just post them. i have instant subscription to this thread and will be notified every 30 min when my evo fetches my mail.
[Android Software Development] rori~:
Thanx for this thread!

Ok, my app should be installed in /system/app/

but is it possible to include in the same (app)update-script:

delete /data/app/xxx.apk

?
[Android Software Development] Foxwolfe:
What directories do boot animations go into?

Awesome thread and thanks btw.
[Android Software Development] rori~:
/data/local/
[Android Software Development] daktah:
honestly, i couldnt tell you for sure but i dont see why you couldnt

thanks :)
[Android Software Development] nzdcoy:
I keep getting a syntax error. I am trying to flash silent.mp3 so i can select that in my notifications, because for some reason it does not have that option :/

can you let me know where I went wrong?

have tried both

set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:media

set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:notifications

but to no avail
[Android Software Development] daktah:
what was the whole code in the update-script?

did you use the example i posted?

show_progress 0.1 0

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:media

show_progress 0.1 10
[Android Software Development] nzdcoy:
yeah, sorry for not making it clear. Im kinda rote-learning this atm, I did a straight copy of your notifications script into my flashable-zip. when that didnt work I tried it with line3 modified as a stab in the dark.

what does the entire folder structure look like? if I am changing notifications is it /system/media/audio/notification where I put the files?
[Android Software Development] daktah:
i believe it is

workdir.zip/
_system/
__media/
___audio/(files).mp3
_META-INF/
__com/
___google/
____android/update-script

if you still cant get it going i can assemble it for you
[Android Software Development] PMDColeslaw:
Just wanting to be sure here because Ive read the first post a few times and still can't tell. On the root of the update.zip I am supposed to create the folder structure that I want it to flash too. (ie. media/audio/ringtones) and then place the actual file that im flashing in that directory. (ie media/audio/ringtones/newring.mp3) At this point then the whole .zip dir would look like:

update.zip

__media/

_____audio/

_______ringtones/

__________newring.mp3

__META-INF/

_____com/

_______google/

___________android/

_______________update-script

_____CERT.RSA

_____CERT.SF

_____MANIFEST.MF

Then just sign the .zip and flash it... Is this correct?
[Android Software Development] daktah:
You got it
[Android Software Development] jpwhre:
Wow sounds real complex just to add an mp3 for a ringtone. I know if you create a file on sdcard

media/

audio

alarm

notifacation

And then put the file you want for what you want into the folder you want it for it will show in dropdown menu so you can select it.

Been trying to get googles auto app builder program to force download the sdk for devices so i can start there first. Want an app that forces mms to the sprint max of 5mb send limit and not stocks 2mb or handsents 1.2 limit. Will doing this according to thread give me an app that does this? What would i need to change? (guess you could make it faster than trying to teach me but still wonder)
[Android Software Development] daktah:
thats true but installing saves space on the sd card and makes it load instantly instead of waiting for the sd card to be prepared

what? :confused: im lost lol
[Android Software Development] jpwhre:
On wm arcsoft had a setting in the app that lets you change settings and change size limit to 500kb. You can also make these changes in regeditor. Android doesn't have a registory nor does there seam to be an app to install that will allow these changes. Wondering if your tutorial thread would allow the building of an app and what would i need to change to do this. Googles app builder program doesn't come preinstalled with any sdks and on a slow connection i can't get it to download.
[Android Software Development] daktah:
if your saying building an app as in coding and assembling one then no as this is just a guide to make an installable zip to flash with ra or clockwork. youd need to use the sdk tools and such for that. but this guide should allow you to install pretty much anything into the nand from ringtones to apks and the like.
[Android Software Development] nzdcoy:
finally got adb to stop sh***ing itself. did it that way.

thanks for the help anyway.
[Android Software Development] the_kwa:
so, i'm by no means an expert at this... but i was trying to make an update.zip for wallpapers. i've attached what i did, if you could take a peak at it and give me a pointer, that would be awesome!

path to my wallpapers...

using launcherpro

data/app/com.fede.launcher-1.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

data/app/com.fede.launcehr-1/apk/res/drawable-mdpi
[Android Software Development] nuformzdesign:
granted, I'm trying to flash a theme, but it seems like the process and folder/file structure would be the same.

I've followed the steps one by one, but after flashing the .zip in recovery and rebooting, everything looks the exact same as it did before! I figured I would start with framewor-res, and see if I could get that to work before I started working on all the other images, but even after modifying all images, straightening out the .9.png's, and compiling everything correctly in Eclipse, I get nothing.

I have no effing clue what's going on, any ideas?
[Android Software Development] blakestiffler:
im on a mac, any suggestions for what i can use to sign the zip? i have apk manager and thempro and they can both sign apps but i dont know if its okay to use them to sign a flashable zip
[Android Software Development] Kiro04:
Hi man!

I'm not do a Update.zip yet with your tutorial, but i have a question:

some Update.zip have a file named updated-binary together with update-script, how i do that file? because when i try to flash via OpenRecovery say's that coul'd not find that file: update-binary...

Sory for my english, i'm from Argentina, and i try not to use Google Translate...

Regards!!!

PS: Great work with this tutorial!!!
[Android Software Development] goldenstorm:
Thanks a trillion for this easy to follow tutorial. I was able to convert my metamorph theme into a flashable theme, there by bypassing all the FC's while applying the MM theme/mod.

Truly awesome. Thanks again.
