[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jigners:
I take this to mean that we have to do Task 29 everytime we try a new build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SquithyX:
Would that not be null and void though as:

WinMo leaves crud behind on the RAM that upsets Android's kernel - that we know. If we task29 the memory and then we reflash with the same WinMo version there will be the same crud left on the RAM. Also as a WinMo reboot zeros the RAM (from the SPL / HSPL) before booting up, so once WinMo has booted the memory map is reset for Android.

Or thats how i understand what he is saying, so the only time a task 29 is useful is if changing from one version of WinMo to another and not when changing Android ROMS. If a WinMo version is compatible with Android then a task 29 is not needed when changing from one version of Android to another, unless the requirements for Android change and you need to load a new version of WinMo

If only half of the forum's members read your post OP. If only...

Needless to say that the OP is excellent. I jumped on the Linux bandwagon back in '96 when things were a lot harder to understand and the learning curve was a lot steeper. To cut things short this is exactly how the Linux kernel works and this is exactly why this post should be a sticky :)

And to answer a few more questions, yes, a Task29 followed by ROM flashing AND a Hard Reset is highly recommended, and a full format of your SD card as well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shadowrtype:
That was definitely an EXCELLENT informative post for all of us who may have no understanding or complete misunderstanding of how all of this works. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to explain.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antaed:
i think i'm missing something here. why hard reset is needed after task 29 if the later formats the memory?

thanks,

antaed
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] panosg1977:
My mistake there :). A hard reset is entirely optional. Sorry about that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dallasjim:
ming, thank you for the excellent write up. I have been searching for this for months.

One question, apart from overwriting, can a wm rom significantly affect Android? For example, is a "lite" wm rom better than a full Miri rom? It seems to me that basic wm services run in all roms therefore a lite rom would make little difference. Thank you!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antaed:
No need to be sorry mate, I really thought there was something I didn't quite get right about that.

XDA needs more people like you to explain things in a simple down-to-earth way to those of us who dont know.

There are alot of people on here who have learned alot on this site, and really want to keep learning, myself included.

When I got my first smartphone, I had some pretty basic knowledge of linux from installing/using Ubuntu, and from sony psp custom firmware and modding scene.

This site and people like yourself have expanded my knowledge of "how things work" exponentially.

I just want to say thank you and keep it coming.

I'm sure alot of us on here have an insatiable appetite for exactly this kind of stuff, and those on the dev team dont have time to show the rest of us the things they know
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jigners:
basically the reason i use Task 29 is, in every Android build I test it needs a different

Winmo ROM (as per suggestion of the builder) so to clear winmo's crud - Task 29

then flash the recommended winmo ROM. This has worked brilliantly for me over

the last couple of months (well, since you first made this Thread - which

basically gave me the inspiration and insight)

another thing is, it is becoming common knowledge that Android will run on stock

Winmo ROM, while many confirms this, (and im not disputing it) I still follow the path of using custom

winmo ROM as suggested by the Android Builder.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ming of mongo:
Hey y'all.

@huggs: Flattery will get you everywhere.

If you want to learn what makes these things go, this particular project is great, because there's limits on how much code they can hide from you! Opensource rocks. Stare at the code. Whether or not you know how to code yourself, you will start to see the general plan if you stare at it long enough.

@jigners: If it works, keep doing it. It doesn't affect the Linux/Android directly, but indirectly, anything that helps the rom, may still help android.

I'm using a stock tmous rom, just cause I'm lazy and I got the rom flashing addiction out of my system a while ago. There are still problems, but I can use android as my daily driver. Even a month or two ago, nothing worked except Angry Birds (which is reason enough to switch if you ask me). Now I just get the odd battery drain issue or loss of phone or network once in a while. Comes with the territory. But things are improving very fast. I worked at Microsoft for a minute and I never saw any development move this fast.

Are you sure? I haven't see a psfreedom recovery image for the droid 1 anywhere.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cold711:

let me know if you need any help... make sure you use the first link for the kernal, the mirror file is damaged (you'll notice it's smaller in size) I also was never able to get it to work with Cyanogen so I recommend Bugless Beast 0.5. I've been using this with no issues for over 2 weeks now.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cold711:
sorry I am unable to post links right now
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] phin1233:
That's the regular psfreedom kernel, not the recovery image or the hermes payload.

btw, that works np for me running any version of CM6.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cold711:
Is the point of that recovery image to have a dedicated image for exploiting your ps3? If so why not just create your own with Rom Manager, or am I missing the point of this?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] phin1233:
They created a recovery image for the Desire where you can switch between payloads (to play a backup without an original blu-ray disc). It also allows you to update the module if any updates become available.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] victorythagr8:
The recovery image he is talking about is that the exploit is stored in the recovery menu. Instead flashing the kernel and lose the ability to have mass storage, and charging the phone that all you do is just boot in the recovery menu and just do the exploit from their while at the same time not reflashing the kernels over and over again. Also the recovery works on every rom unlike the kernel exploit we were using.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] P!X3L:
I would LOVE this. wonder if we can get it added to clockwork... Has the hermes updated .ko module even been ported to the droid yet? I see it out for all the HTC phones...

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Quacker:
I normally use Nextheme but this one looked nice as well so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm running Fission 1.1.

The notification bar changed, but most of the icons are unchanged. The exceptions are Messaging and Contacts, which are now the Galaxy S icons, and Music which definitely looks like a Revolution Remix icon.

I noticed you included a .zip with icons, though, so I presume the icons are not supposed to change with the theme installation, but rather used in the LauncherPro dock only. Is this correct?

The .zip appears to contain the Revolution icons, though, instead of the Revolution Remix icons. I'll try to go bug theecho in IRC :)

ETA: Forgot to mention that the Market icon looks like a cardboard box; not sure which theme that came from.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btedeski:
until HTC releases the source for kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e

we can not compile a "Real" tun.ko

I modified the version string on the current released code 2.6.32.15-g746f4f0 to ge2fb08e and am compiling it right now.

This will allow it to load and as long as there are no major changes in the kernel it could work for you. It will at least load so you can test it.

I will up load it as soon as it is done compiling

to build it yourself

you can get instructions for an android build system here

http://source.android.com/source/download.html

download the source from HTC http://developer.htc.com/

you will need a .config file should be /proc/config.gz on your phone, uncompress and rename to .config

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3803

you will need to setup your path to include the build environment you download from source.android.com I will put mine at the end of this

edit the Makefile and change EXTRAVERSION = .15-ge2fb08e to contain version string you need

do a make modules

as long as the kernel has not changed to much from the base source HTC has provided it should work.....
