Few Screenshots (Froyo 2.2 Blazn)

Here are a few quick screenshots of some backgrounds I like using. If you don't know already you can download the 'Backgrounds' app in Marketplace and you can search through tons of backgrounds and save, favourite or set as background.

One thing I wish was a way to have backgrounds change every 10 minutes or so and to not always need to crop it each time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] huggs:
not sure what u mean by how i have my setup. i have all the builds all the way back to 2.01 on my sd, havent gotten around to backing up my card , partitioning it, and setting up the new style builds yet tho. doin that tomorrow.
[Droid Eris General] orkillakilla:
So I've been having pretty bad battery issues with froyo roms and I've been trying to find out what was draining it. I looked under spare parts and the only thing that looked odd to me was (besides the new Facebook update not letting the phone sleep. Log out to fix it for now) is that "media" is using a crap ton of network. It says 20134948 bytes have been received since my last boot about 15 minutes ago. An ideas what is causing this?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ctbeiser:
This is a collection of quick and simple bootanimations pulled together with the goals of being extremely lightweight, relatively good looking, and not slow down the booting of the phone substantially. They're all based roughly off OS X resources. I did some tests, on a CM6 nightly (08 04 2010), and the results are seen below.

No bootanimation

32 seconds on bootsplash image

finishes boot at 55 seconds (but a couple bit longer till wallpaper and launcher load)

Pear(based on this guy's wonderful work. If anyone could make me a bootsplash image of this, I would love them forever. Can't do it on a mac.)

Okay, so I'm about to root my phone and install the De-Odexed Froyo that's posted in the forum.

My only remaining question is: What do I need to do to properly wipe my phone to allow for the root and rooted Froyo to be installed?

That's it. A short and sweet answer and I'll be on my way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
All I did was do a factory reset before the rooting process. It worked out fine for me.

After the root you will have a rooted stock 2.1. From your recovery wipe data and cache before flashing froyo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kikwear002:
I was among of the anxious persons who updated.

I'm trying to understand, is there only 358MB of free space for Apps on the EVO? Is that enough? I've read about something called Apps2SD, is that to increase the space if necessary?

Does the app space change with the ROM you have applied?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TREYisRAD:
Thats wayy more than most other android phones, but if you do end up filling it up, you can download Apps2SD. It will allow you to move certain apps to the external memory, freeing up some onboard space.

Thank you sir!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjybarr:
Well I have read many forums that have this problem and most of them pass me up. The only time I get "android.process.acore" FC is when I am adding widgets. This happens about 95% of the time. I moved my widgets from SD to Internal storage. But I still get "android.process.acore" FC, when I re-add them to my home screen... So I rebooted and cleared cache, still no improvement. I am running Cyanogen 5.0.8 and Slide Blue Theme. Like I said, its not that big of a problem, but I would like it to work properly. So what could be the problem?

P.S. After I long press on home screen, select widget, select 4x1 or 4x2(depending on what widget) press ok, then "android.process.acore" FC appears, I wait awhile, then I hit FC, my phone resumes to home screen with the new widget I selected. But why does it have to say, "android.process.acore" FC? Weird......

[EVO 4G General] pscalett:
I'm going to have to check this out. Have they found a way to root if people have already done the OTA 2.2 update?
[EVO 4G General] seankent4uf:
Not yet. If you already have root, however, there are a lot of ROM options to choose from in the Developer's forum, including a stock 2.2 with updated radio and wimax.

Anyone else noticing it drops the connection to the device after about 15min?
[Droid X General] MrTissues:
So I am pretty new to Android and am looking to root my Droid X.

Just a few quick questions:

1. If I root now will I not be able to get 2.2 when that comes out later? Will I just have to unroot? Would it be bad for me to get rid of the bloatware (eg the .604 update required that certain apps be present)?

2. I know that the Droid 1 is going to get 2.2 with root by updating to a different ROM than the one that is OTA. What about Droid X users? Would we just have to stay at 2.1 (with root) until someone figures out how to root the 2.2 OTA update?

2. If my phone begins having problems can I unroot in a way that Verizon can never tell that I had root in the first place? Would this only be possible if the phone is working "well enough" to go through the unroot process?

3. Any real reasons that you guys would know of NOT to root? I am mostly concerned with improving battery life and just getting the few cool apps that are made possible via root.
[Droid X General] ZerkerEOD:
I'm rooted and I'm about to send my device back to Verizon when they send me the new one. All you have to do is unroot and then restore the phone. Acoustic to factory defaults.
[Droid X General] meshdub:
hmmm, I think I'm being fooled with the number of questions there somehow. Can't figure out how though...

:D

But anyway:

1. Yes, if you root now and 2.2 comes out, you can just unroot and upgrade. But you'll lose root most likely. I personally wouldn't remove bloatware at this point, just freeze with Titanium Backup, because you'll need those apps to upgrade. You can just unfreeze, make sure permissions are set right and install 2.2 when it rolls out.

2. Yes, at this point it's either stay rooted with 2.1 or upgrade to 2.2 and lose root. No custom ROMS yet.

2 (again). Yes, you can unroot if the phone is working. Just make sure all the bloat is in place, and Verizon won't know. As for the second question, if you brick your phone, you won't be able to do anything until we have access to custom ROMs. Basically you need to know what you're doing. If you're not sure how it'll affect the phone, better not touch it.

3. I'd say rooting greatly improves experience with this phone. You'll be able to install apps that manage your memory, help you save battery, and just do cool customizations =) Just as I said, make sure you know it's safe w/e you're doing.
[Droid X General] dalethefarmer:
I noticed there is a lot more development going on with the EVO(which I currently have) than with the Droid X... Is it difficult to develop for motorola, are there not enough developers working on this phone?

I ask because I currently have an EVO and I love that I can customize everything from the boot screen to what the volume buttons do... but the internet is slow on this thing and I can't take advantage of 4G most of time.

I'm planning on getting a Droid X but I just don't see anything as far as custom hacks and things... Any 2 cents welcomed :)

Hello all. Since I often seach about BellMobility-specific issues (and, frankly, never really find what I need), I'm starting this thread to sort-of give the BellMo clients a beacon of hope for their carrier-specific questions. So let's do this :D

-----

Q: I have a grandfathered Fun15 plan (the one with Voicemail, CallerID, 500 S/M-MS, Unlimited Mobile Browser [sorta means Unlimited Data]) on an old CDMAphone. Will it transfer over to a SIM and work?

A: In the author's case, it worked. I went to a brick-and-mortar store to do the first switch from CDMA to their 3G/HSPA network, mind you.

-----

Q: What's the APN configuration for their network?

A: Author's case, Fun15 pack:

Name: Bell

APN: pda.bell.ca

Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

Port: 80

MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc

MMS Proxy; web.wireless.bell.ca

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 302

MNC: 610

APN Type: default,mms

Some people use pda2.bell.ca . Q for them: is your data connection stable?

-----

Q: What's the operating frequencies of Bell's (3G/HSPA W-CDMA) network?

A: 850/1900/2100 mHz. For reference, it's what AT&T (USA) and Rogers (Canada) use for their Non-Edge/GPRS networks. You could get AT&T's Aria functioning easily here.

-----

Q: Does Bell have a classic GSM network to fall back on?

A: Nope. WCDMA 3G/HSPA only, no Edge/GPRS classic network like Rogers.

-----

Q: What's the best configuration for the data options in the RIL?

A: Frankly, I don't know, and I'd like to know because i get disconnected way too often for it to be normal. That, or their network sucks. Anyone up to answer this one?

-----

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maxrfon:
Hello,

I believe a lot of us would like to do it, so let's please describe here how-to:

1. Linux

2. Mac os Leo

3. Windows

Gurus, please contribute!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
Excellent initiative, I could write a short howto for Arch Linux later.

But one thing though, it might be a good idea to mention in the first post that you can't actually boot a custom kernel yet.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maxrfon:
Indeed agree, but to try we need to have it!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alx5962:
My topic about compiling kernel sources has already many infos so do you think another similar topic is really necessary ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
Your thread is excellent but I'd guess that this thread would be more oriented towards "hand-holding", really basic guides. Your topic was very broad requiring going to the android developers site and reading their docs on cross-compilation. Gathering that info into easier guides could be beneficial, if not to demystify the process.

As it stands right now just compiling modules seems almost insurmountable. But if the information needed could be condensed into simple guides it could show that while it takes considerable time and effort it's not an impossible task even for developers not familiar with cross-compiling kernels.

And information information on setting up cross-compilers for Win, Mac and popular Linux distros is nice to have available in an easy to find topic anyway. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alx5962:
IMHO, the easiest way to make modules would be a virtualbox image already set up with arm gcc, kernel sources and X10 kernel config. It's a long process to set everything up; virtualbox makes this easier and cross platform.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pulpoff:
Sources are here :

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/823/877/1278570405/X10_mini_Donut_100630.tar.gz

Rest can be done in same way as for "big" X10.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maxrfon:
Do you have such virtual box image or whatever it is?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alx5962:
yep but can't share it as everything is set up in french and I'm sure you'll not like this :D

anyway, i'm sure the owner of this thread will enjoy to create one.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maxrfon:
Yes, french for me is a bit difficult :)

Ok i managed to make Ubuntu on my Parallels, just finished with the gcc. Let's see how it works.

Maybe i will share it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alx5962:
kernel config is included in the /etc folder if I remember well, hope it's the same for the mini X10
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
It's actually in /proc :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maxrfon:
Hi zdzihu,

I managed somehow install arm gcc on my Ubuntu. Now it's time for the tools.

So i would like to ask what config should i use arm v4? V5?

I am so tired with this linux things, but finally at least the demo busybox compiled well :)

So i tried to compile with arm-v5te config but for flash read (which is normaly working) it says

# ./dump_image system /sdcard/tt.bin
error reading system: Inappropriate ioctl for device

My task it not to run flash tools available, but my own, to compile all myself, to try to do the trick with the CPU to accept kernel, that i compiled.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
The Snapdragon is armv7 compliant, so that should be your target.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maxrfon:
http://jackytw.blogspot.com/2009/11/howto-run-native-linux-application-on.html

This tut i was using.

I can't find v7 .. Should i consider the V as the CPU ver?

Then its 1136 if i am not wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
Are you using that tool to build the toolchain? In that case it might not have the option to build for that arch. The best way to make sure you get the correct one is to build it manually from scratch.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maxrfon:
Looks like there is no other tut to build the toolchain. I searched days and nights to find something working.

I even compiled bysybox with it and it works on my x10!

But i found some sources of flash backup, called nandtools, compiled them well, no errors but the exec files are 4x bigger than the precompiled ones... And it makes the IOControl error..

the NDK won't compile, it requires Makefile or Android.mk and those are real headache to learn.

The Makefile from the archive is not compatible with NDK's make system and so on...

And so 2 weeks.. :)

Pufff.. I am so tired if just linux things :)

Any hand?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
Hi there, ARM is backward compatibile so compiled for v5 should run just fine. Problem must be somewhere else... I'm at work at the moment so I can't help much :(

By the way, there was some kind of dedicated flash tool posted already HERE, maybe you could check with jerpelea for re-upload?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maxrfon:
You see, i need to compile mine, i have enough tools here already working, but my task is to compile my own and that's why i need a toolchain.

NDK is ok for the kernel, i compiled it already. But the native applications are not supported fully. Like write is deprecated and you can't use this function, and lot other limitations. So independent toolchain would help.

That's the point.
