[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akivlin:
It is an obscure bug and I would guess that it is unlikely anyone with the programming/debugging skill to solve it is actually looking at solving it. I was working on it but I shelved solving it because I cheaply fixed it by only allowing inject_xtra_data to be called after a sv_send callback. Doing so allows the xtra data to be injected without causing an ARM9 crash.

I made the CM6 crash test fix updates because I know how frustrating the random reboots are but I am relatively new to Android and I only became involved because I am working on a ROM based on AOSP.

Also it's known that CM6 RC2 introduced kernel changes that cause a different type of random reboot. The information about the ARM9 crash is found in last_kmsg but most users don't know to grab a copy and they assume the reboot is the same problem as before which of course causes further confusion.

You could try asking for an update on the CM6 issues tracker:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1763
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studjuice:
yes, the nightly's have recently changed kernel-wise so your fixes don't apply to them. if you would tell me how you did it, i'd love to learn how to work on it.

i still consider myself new to android development and this is one of the areas i know the least about and it's a good chance to learn more
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akivlin:
Apologies for not replying sooner. I didn't know anyone had replied.

The CM6 issues tracker has details of the ARM9 crash problem so you could check there to get up to speed on it.

Please tell step by step method to clean system through fastboot as I am not able to flash a stable FROYO on my G1.. al the time my market and browser not working properly.

as u mentioned wipe thru recovery sometimes not wipe the file properly.

After 2 years on Blackberry, I have to give it up. Since I'm somewhat short on cache now, I'm planning going back to my Tytn. When I did use it, I remember liking it besides ocasional lock ups.... Is it possible to flash Tytn with Android to get a better stbility? Generaly, how do you consider Tytn to perform in 2010?

For now isn't posible use android over Hermes :) Read here when linux is runned normally over hermes maybe and android will be ported ;)

Very true :( sadly the hermes has reached its last upgrade, the WM6.5 and 6.6 (6.5.X) cause even HD2 will not get wm7 upgrade maybe a ultralight version of it can runs but it has many drivers issues imagine a turtle with wheels and hermes is already dead cause wm6.5 and or 6.5.X is heavy for hermes.
[Captivate General] dark42:
Hey, so I was trying to enable non-market apps through ADB. Everything was going good until I typed in "adb reboot" and then stupidly unplugged the cable.

Now the phone doesn't do anything, can't boot Android, only the recovery menu. It just shows the intro movie and then shuts down. I've tried deleting user data and clearing cache from recovery which doesn't help.

I do have a NANDROID backup for it, both on the phone and on my PC (which was made with Clockworkmod Recovery). But the problem is that I don't have the update.zip for Clockwork on the /sdcard, it's in /titaniumbackup. How can I put the update.zip on the /sdcard of a bricked Captivate?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
when you boot in recovery, does ur computer recognize the device if connected with usb? If so you can use adb to relocate files, droid explorer may even work.
[Captivate General] dark42:
Oh thanks, I had no idea ADB would work in recovery, gonna try that and get back to you.

As you can see I'm still new to Android. Dumped iPhone 3G for Captivate. But I'm learning!
[Captivate General] dark42:
So Droid Explorer won't install because it doesn't like 64bit Windows.

ADB can connect, but I can't put any file on the device (I've tried the "adb push" command) or gain root, says permission denied. Please help!

EDIT: Never mind, by some miracle of God it all worked out and let me adb push all I needed, I'm in Clockwork Recovery and my phone is gonna be OK.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
i have droid explorer running on my intel, windows 7 ultim 64x rig. works.

you just have to make sure you dl the 64 bit version of the program. Here's a link:

http://de.codeplex.com/releases/49896/download/139717

you also need .net framework 3.5 sp1 at least. I installed the newest one and it works regardless.

im glad you managed to unbrick your device. Kudos.

I am pretty sure it's the same one as the GSM unbranded one, which is the most recently made available one.

15.14 iirc
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Higgsy:
Yeah I know the radio I'm using, theory was that I would try the radio that the official T Mob RUU uses, as that one has been tested on T Mob. Pulser - cheers mate - might give that one a try, still using the old JU radio at the mo

[Desire General] vidmas:
Hey all,

I would like to ask for all:

Did you think, that is ok, when we have a lot roms, moded by different users?

I believe, that is difficult to decide , which of the roms is better for your HTC Desire. So, I want to ask for all, how we can to decide, which rom is better.

Can you write the opinion, what rom you are use? Maybe moderators can to do a brief with public opinion poll in diffrent post?

Let I will be a first for this:

HTC Desire, DeVilain 1.0, Android 2.2, radio I think is not important, that is no ROM
[Desire General] kire.htc:
DeVillain 1.0
[Desire General] billias:
I agree with u. And i believe most of the ROMS are copying each other.

I am Excluding great teams (AdamG, Cyannogen, Modaco, Villain etc.)

Most of the ROMs (i have tried till today) are the same with different name.

I expect that some will stop creating copies of another ROMs. I believe if they help Current teams to improve their ROMs, users will be the winners.

There is an Poll about ROMs on a post. But! no comments. (about the results)
[Desire General] vidmas:
again question for admins too

today I install to may desire next sense 5.2 froyo. Yesterday - leedroid. I can constated: the same ****, on another hand. So anybody can tem me or, ok, not for me for user - which rom is better? Here you can find up 100 rom, and anyone, who present this rom talking - this is best. I dont think , and for may opinion one of stable was and is DeVilain 1.0 rom. Who can discuss about this? Because a lot of expert without opinion here in the forum I see.
[Desire General] sbdags:
Neophyte 1.6 or NextSense 5.2 are the two best on here imo.

Both are stable, fast and have all the fixes applied to have an enjoyable Sense 2.2 Froyo experience.

Check them out ;)
[Desire General] ghmail2:
agreed

specialy 5.2 it can adjust cpu freq automaticly without any .apk start with your device try that

best sense 2.2 ever

Just try. One Rom after another. If it fits your needs, stay at the ROM you use...

[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
So this is a work in progress, as we speak I am one step from being able to launch Ubuntu on the phone.

Ive been thinking about this for a while, ever since I saw the thread on the INC forums on AF.

This requires a custom kernel, as of now I havent overclocked it or even compiled a wlan.ko for it-meaning that theres no wifi and this kernel is only for stock roms.. Right now this isnt meant at all as a daily thing, but if it turns out nice, I may end up fully adopting it as my new project, and who knows what will happen then ;)

I am not opposed to getting help from anyone with this project-thats the whole point of Android being OpenSource right?-but please keep me in the loop if you take this off on a tangent.

Ive taken a lot of different information, a lot of different files, and a lot of general help from people

First off i want to thank The Edge| over on #droideris despite him knowing that Andrizoid was on their IRC-Oh the horror!-he continued helping me out, linking me to helpful things and being helping with a few other things :D

I dont recall his XDA name, but if your around, make yourself known. You deserve a pat on the back for giving me a chance when the others didnt.

Second goes to Koush for putting together this any-kernel-updater which i will be posting separately because it is a freaking awesome tool, heres a quick breakdown of how it works

First off, this is a flashable tool, you add the kernel (zImage) to the kernel folder, zip it all up, sign and flash.

It copies your bootimage to a temp file so it has a space to work in
It then unpack the boot.img
Replaces the zImage you included ith the original one
Repacks the boot.img
Flashes the new boot.img with your kernel in it.

IDK how nobody noticed this thing before, its amazing. no more fastboot BS, and no more having to custom pack the kernels for your ramdisk.

Third i need to thank pez252 for his post on AF that gave me the idea and the basics to work off of. That includes the script and the ubuntu.img

Also want to thank Saurik for his VERY in-depth tutorial, helped me solve a few of the issues i was coming across.

TO DO

1. get a working kernel

2. mount the ubuntu.img in data/local

3. mount /dev, /proc, and /sys in their respective directories

4. chroot it all so it actually works.

5. overclock it <--easily done after it gets running

6. get wifi up and going <--also easily done after it gets running

7. get this going on an AOSP rom <--simple to do, will do it after it gets running

Downloads and the actual commands to do this in the next post-wanted to make sure you read before jumping right into it ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
First comes the kernel. Remember that this is VERY basic, no wifi and no overclocking and it only works on stock roms. Ill add the bells and whistles after we get it moving.

Flash the loopkern.zip from recovery.

Download this zip file. Once its downloaded, extract the ubuntu.img-its the ONLY part that we need at the moment.

Once extracted, put it on your SDcard in a folder called ubuntu.

Then comes the fun part, for some reason i along with quite a few others, werent able to get the commands to run as a script-weird huh?-but here they are, you can copy/paste them directly into the command line, but you obviously need your phone plugged in.

#Sets up the directories.
mkdir /data/local/ubuntu
busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
#Does the actual mounting, after this command, you can actually see all the ubuntu files #under /data/local/ubuntu
busybox mount -o rw,loop -t ext2 /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img /data/local/ubuntu
busybox mount --bind /dev/pts /data/local/ubuntu/dev/pts
busybox mount --bind /proc /data/local/ubuntu/proc
busybox mount --bind /sys /data/local/ubuntu/sys
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

After fooling around with it a bit, i was able to get everything set-up with those commands, after that though, i run into some issues. Now we will need to

busybox chroot /data/local/ubuntu /bin/bash

This is the big issue though, maybe im not familiar enough with chroot to get the syntax right-ive never used it before-or something else is amiss.

So! The point is, that only measly chroot is holding us back from installing a REAL Linux OS on our phones, complete with EVERYTHING. Theoretically we could run linux apps and all kinds of cool stuff.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bubba1114:
this looks pretty bada**. im up for any learning curve so if theres anything i could possibly help you with let me know
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
well as of now, i have just about everything worked out. that kernel is enabled for loopback, and i worked the kinks out of the commands, only thing left is that damn chroot command. once thats worked out its all smooth sailing.

i need a nap. its 5 30 and i havent slept from last night yet :eek:

ill check back on it later, and ill get to work on it a bit more.

feel free to try anything you want! post your results-failures or sucesses-so we know what doesnt work so we arent wasting our time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
So I find this exciting even though I do not truly understand the implications of this working. This would provide us with access to our regular apps too or just Ubuntu? Either way, I'm down to try it out. If there is anyway I can help, I wouldn't mind. I used to run Linux for a little while, but never really dealt alot with programming type stuff. However, my phone is always in a state of disarray between flashing various roms and trying to customize it so I wouldn't mind trying to do some of this too. Would it be best to have Linux at home too with this? I could install Linux Mint 9 and dual boot...
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:
Linux on a phone?!?

Don't let me discourage you but really, why?

The eris runs @528 mhz and a very low resolution, I am guessing any distro of linux on the eris would have crazy lag, it would be hard to see, not to mention hard to type and lack of drivers and things not working, etc...

I suppose this would be interesting try maybe in like a year or two when android phones are coming out with higher clock speeds, dual cores and larger screens, but in my opinion its just not worth putting in the time it would take to make linux useable on a phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
i dont think that i will be personally using it either, but the eris is on EOL, we arent getting any more cool stuff. its up to us now to keep it going, and when i see a phone with a cool new feature i think 'HEY! We could do that too!'

EDIT:my roommate mentioned to make sure the permissions on the /data/local/ubuntu/usr/bin/bash were set right. I dont have time to try it right now, but itd be easy,

adb shell chmod a+x /data/local/ubuntu/usr/bin/bash

Then try running

adb shell chroot /data/local/ubuntu /data/local/ubuntu/usr/bin/bash
[Droid Eris Android Development] m4nfred:
Why not a way lighter distro ie dsl or something
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
because I use ubuntu myself, so it was naturally the first one i jumped at. once this one is running i can compile an .img for debian or w/e other distro. this is just for proof of concept.
[Droid Eris Android Development] m4nfred:
o ok, sounds cool
[Droid Eris Android Development] fKngFtd:
I had Debian running prior but had to ditch it due to froyo. I followed a guide for HTC Hero. But I'm glad that we are going to have an official Ubuntu on ERIS. Keep up the good work.

For the guy asking why, why not figure out how to do it now, then when the phones get better....it is already done. Great idea guys, I hope it works.

Novel idea but it is quite pointless on mobile phones. Now Linux on other embedded devices is cool.

Linux on phone

It's a good thing Google didn't think Linux was a bad idea on a phone. The Adroids already running a Linux distribution. So why not Unbuntu as well. Makes sense to me.

Some people might think Everest is just a big rock, others see the adventure in exploring it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joshw0000:
Why the hell is everyone flaming this guy? All he does is put out awesome roms and try thngs outside the box. I would try an ubuntu rom if he gets it working. What if it's slow? Not fully functional? Who cares. So far 90% of the roms I've tried are not fully functional. I wish I could help work on this but I know very little about Linux and Ubuntu, but please keep up the development.

On a different note, since you think so far outside the box...My buddy has an HD2 running Android and Windows. From what he explained to me, he boots and runs Android completely from his sd card. Is it possible to do something like this on the Eris? Either to increase speed and performance on Android (sd card is the internal memory) or move to other platforms such as Windows and Ubuntu. Again, I have little understanding of how this actually works but if you want to PM me I can get with him and see what we can come up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
lol

Yeah w/ ubuntu you could easily trim it down to under 200MB with a super fast UI its only a mater of compiling all the parts for a new device, this is a killer idea, just think about having a fully running Ubuntu system in your pocket, keep a few SD cards on hand or get a 16 or 32GB and you would have all the space you would need.

I have seen Android ported to the Eee and others, why not ubuntu or another distro to the phone base that Android rules?

I think one of the more difficult parts of this will be deciding on which WM to use. The popular WM's are either way too heavy (KDE and GNOME) or require hardware keyboards like IceWM.

Canonical is supposedly working on a tablet flavor or Ubuntu maybe they will have a WM that would work?

Does anyone know of any other good linux touch interface WMs? (Besides android's of course, which might be usuable too)

I'll definitely help test this if you want.

[Droid Eris Android Development] strungout420:
Reading this, I have to say it... I have to say something! I just can't bite my tongue.

I've lurked the forums for MONTHS. I was in that group of folks who upgraded to the leak and then couldn't root... for what seemed like forever. Even though I was 'stuck', I still lurked.

I still read what each dev was doing, and what ROMs were coming out, what roadblocks were popping up, what fixes were being issued... it's like an addiction.

Then they cracked the leak (or however you want to put it) and I was finally able to root and start running better software. I've been back and forth between CELB's FroYo and Kaos' FroYo... And I'm running SetCPU and AutoKiller, and all I can say is that this combination (or maybe something else a noob like me doesn't know about) has breathed NEW LIFE into my Eris, and made me happy with it again.

It never freezes, it's FAST FAST FAST, and it responds the way I want it to... I have extensive conversations with people in my life who also have the Eris (co-workers, family members, etc) about the rooting process, why I did it, and why they should do it... Most are too scared and ask questions like "What about the warranty?" "What if it breaks and I can't fix it?" I basically ask them "You know how to read, right? You know how to use a search button, right?" It's really not that hard to figure this stuff out...

Now I read through this thread, and see that someone is brillant enough to be attempting an Ubuntu build... for the Eris... SRSLY?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?

That's about the greatest thing I've ever heard. Ok, so maybe not really, but it is pretty spectacular. And for someone to post and say that it's a bad idea, or its a worthless idea... well, absolute and complete SHAME on them. It's the people with ideas that make things happen. If it wasn't for people with ideas (bad or good), we wouldn't even have an Eris to root and mod and hack... and enjoy!

Bottom line (and if you made it this far, awesome!)... To all the devs who are working on stuff for a phone that's EOL, and coming up with new and different ideas to try and figure out... getting working, and then perfect. I say RIGHT THE **** ON!

Hack on, gentlemen. Hack on.

(And ladies too, of course!)
