Thanks! Another great release. Like You wrote, Android MArket is working fine now - it finds linpack for example, which was problem in RLS3 ;-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] object3d:
Great build

Hello Scoot,

Tried your latest release. Just wanted to say, it's a great build and very fast and stable.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] hashtowent:
same here!

data is working fine =)

market too

no bug found till now!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Neo2SHYAlien:
Yeah RLS 4 is much better of RLS 3. Good work
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
HTC Keyboard Update **FIXED**

The HTC Keyboard Update in the first post didn't work because I messed up :D

It's fixed now though so re-download it if you want to add it to the build.

file system

What about UBIFS?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
What about it??? It's not implemented into the kernel or the build at the moment. It does look worth trying but I don't have the time to implement it. It's something i'd like to look into if/when i get time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JonesL:
Do these get drivers with the ROM build ie for the display?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Well, half of it's the kernel obviously but there are 2 main drivers in the build, one for the android software graphics acceleration and then the qcom 3d hardware acceleration driver. Both of which are compiled with the build. These just talk to the hw3d side of the kernel. The kaiser has the qcom hardware graphics acceleration which is nice, means it doesn't have to rely solely on software acceleration even if the hardware is ****e!

I wonder if it will be better than yaffs in that respect - of course I recognize the difference between corrupt files and a corrupt file system, so, who knows....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lerxst_x:
I've had similar trouble. Works for a while, then decides to reboot every few minutes...I switched to Clemsyn's build last night, and started to have the same problem when I switched launchers from launcher 2 to adw. I wiped data and switched to Launcher Pro, and things are now better. Thinking of reloading Scooter's build and immediately switching it over to Launcher Pro and see if that works better....ADW seems to be pretty integrated to CM6...I'm not sure it will work. Any comments???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
You should certainly be able to install launcherpro alongside ADW in this build, the only integration really is the settings shortcut in the standard android settings app. If LauncherPro solves the issue let me know. I haven't experienced the same issue myself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] JonesL:
Would it be possible for the camera button on the side to be working ie link it to the camera application?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
I don't see why not however this is all done in the kernel. I think the main issue is it's a little more complicated then other buttons because it has a halfway action and a fully depressed action which makes the coding more complicated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] albertorodast2007:
Yup... hope l1qu1d or someone else could make this happen...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Millence:
no more zombies!

Launcher Pro + clearing dalvik cache worked for me!

Thanks for advice!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lerxst_x:
No luck on this end with Launcher Pro...it worked for a few hours, however something caused a crash, and after recovering from the crash, no amount of cache clearing and fixing permissions would prevent the soft reboot. It's almost like a crash leaves some setting done or undone that causes either a race condition or a big memory leak. Maybe it's something peculiar to my device....FWIW I'm using the .32 10-29 kernel, OCed to 480, with GPU overclock on. Data currently is on an ext2 partition on SD & sys is on nand. Had the problem with both sys and data on nand as well.

Also, nice to note that when you switch to launcher pro, the ADW settings shortcut disappears from the Settings list, so at least you don't have vestiges of ADW creeping into the experience.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Zombie069:
I keep getting SD Card removed errors when I try to instal Demotivators app from market. A couple others have caused it too. Seems to be ones that have permission to remove/modify storage card.

Any way to stop this?

Running sys on nand/data on ext2.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Have you applied the Haret SD fix from the first post? If you have then apps which default to installing on the sd card will cause it to unmount. Try going to 'settings-CyanogenMod Settings-Application Settings-Install Location' and selecting 'internal'. This should stop apps installing to the fat32 partition on the sd card. That doesn't mean the apps will install, but it shouldn't cause the sd card to unmount. Although i haven't tried data on ext2 so i may be wrong.I'll give it a go when i get a chance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
I am going to be playing around with an updated build today to see how things go int terms of FC's and data corruption on restarts. If things go well i will upload it tonight. It will only be a small update but i will have to upload the full build rather then an update.tar for it to work unfortunately.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Lintegras:
Dang Scoot, you're up EARLY! I'm off all day (last catchup day before work) and can help run through testing on the Vogue side if there're any changes you're unsure of. Else, I'll keep watching the thread on our side of the pond.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
If it works, itll be enough of a reason for me to update mine to work properly lol. Just couldn't be arsed with RLS 4 since it seemed only as a minor incremental update.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
I'm quite hopeful. I restarted about 10 times so far after doing numerous things and had no data corruption at all which is nice! Obviously it is only the case if it shuts down correctly, if the build crashes and the reset button has to be used there is no guarantee that the data will be ok. I'll keep testing, the last build i tried I messed up a line of code in the one of the files which brought back the codec issue from RLS2, whoops.............
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Zombie069:
No I run nand so I didn't do anything related to Haret. It's already set to internal for the CM install default. There are several other apps that cause the same error.

I'll try the Haret fix and see if that does any good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Zombie069:
No difference after the Haret SD update..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Zombie069:
So at this point what would be the best workaround to deal with this.?

Should I nand/nand, or would the SD partitioning for it's own data space make a difference?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Millence:
Unfortunately, and here is the same situation! Everything was working perfectly 24 hours but the problem began to be repeated without any apparent reason.

I will try again to install everything as soon as Scooter publish RLS5
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
RLS4c

There is a link to a incremental test release in the first post which i hope will solve some of the google sync issues and data loss on restart. So i would appreciate it if some people could test it and see how it goes. It is english only for now but if i get time i will upload a full build. Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] Biges:
Hi!

A friend of mine lent me X10 so I can experience (huh) all the beauty of Android. To make it short I was actually disappointed to find, that al least on X10 you have to be connected to the internet and create an account to use a simple calendar. I have never found anything like this on other phones. Also applications can only be installed on-line, no downloading for later installation :-/

So I'd like to ask if there are any other surprises like these of which I should be aware of in case I decide to switch to Android.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
I can use my calendar without internet connection.:confused:

And ''off-line downloading''? i really do not understand.:confused:

If you want to download something you have to be online.
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
@berbecverde : i think he meant offline installation...!! :p
[XPERIA X10 General] Biges:
That's exactly what I meant :)
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
That's incorrect.

That too is also incorrect.

You're going to find plenty I guess as you know clearly know very little about it, so instead of posting your false assumptions here, do some reading first.
[XPERIA X10 General] Puck24:
Some sites offer apps that can be downloaded to the PC/smartphone and then you can transfer and install/just install them.
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
Give him a break! In time he will learn how great Android is. He just opend his mouth too soon...
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
well cut him some slack... he's new to Android....!! :)

[XPERIA X10 General] phoneguy 4567:
To OP:

I see from the bottom of your post you are/were using WinMo 6.1. Unlike WinMo 6.1 Android does not have offline syncing of your data, in that way they are the same as the IPhone. I think everyone is moving in this direction including Windows Phone 7 so you better get use to it :).
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Sorry if you felt I was harsh, but still recommend you do some reading.
[XPERIA X10 General] Reeonimus:
They say two things in life are certain: Death and Taxes.

On this forum two things are certain. Users will ask questions without reading the forums, and XperiaX10iUser will point out that you should read the forums before asking questions. :cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Yep, and if I was mod I'd happily enforce the rules that state that's what you should actually do in the first place. :cool: :cool: You can count on one hand the amount of threads I've started to ask questions. ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
+1 on that xperiax10user... Too much crap on here now to find the useful stuff.. it's a right royal pain in the ass..

But back to the OP's question.. Android is going to be different to anything you've used before.. somethings will be better, something will be worse (but mostly you'll find an app that does exactly what you want.. so there really won't be many of these!).

Android operates through google.. in a similar way to the way iphone needs an itunes account.
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
Except there are a few offline syncing programs out there - missing sync is one, and it's not bad.

and k1sr will usually give you a curt answer, with some lame attempt at humour.... :p

Well i have no data plan yet xD and it was so confusing, annoyinng,etc to found out that all my prepaid credit were spent cause of the phone, took me 1 month to find it out and fic it
[XPERIA X10 General] bazzatron:
Does the Google Market allow you to download apps but not install them with any other Android phone?

The Apple AppStore doesnt let you do this unless you buy/download stuff through itunes on your computer first?

What a stupid question...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpetty:
Hello everyone -

I'm looking for a transparent lockscreen solution for my cappy. There's a thread about doing this for the Hero/Eris, but it requires a Sense odex. (tried to post URL but I'm not allowed as new user...)

My ideal lockscreen is transparent over the default home screen, so I can still see my standard clock and other home screen widgets. I've tried Widget Locker but I don't like it.

Any help or suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiXXeD:
Could probably modify android.policy to remove lock screen entirely, lol. It's probably a ton more work to enable a sense-style lock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smoghog:
Or install nolock and adjust your screen timeout to a low number. Pressing the power button would then go straight to your homescreen with full functionality and pressing it again would just turn the screen off.

for the sake of completeness:

Market does not work without gtalk.

The Market isnt a nice frontend for a website, the whole technique behind the market is rather made with the JABBER-protocol, and therefore it cannot work without gtalk

Questions & Answers:

How do i enable led notification for ...?

sms: notification by default

touchwiz email: notification by default

gmail: notification by default

Google talk: notification by default

calendar: download "Calendar notifier" app from market (alternative)

call: my BLN control - Pro from market

any other apps:

ask the author of the app for notification led support

What lagfixes are supported?

Universal-lagfix by sztupy (see the this post for additionally Universal-lagfix sub-build)

"Voodoo lagfix" is compatibleand here is available

Chainfire's CFLagFix is compatible

RyanZA's One Click Lag Fix 2.0 APK is compatible

z4ziggy's z4mod is semi compatible (solution: first install bln, then patch bln kernel with z4mod and flash again)

Mimocan's lagfix is not compatible (solution: remove/disable lagfix)

A2SD is not compatible (solution: remove/disable A2SD lagfix)

How much does this modification affect battery life?

With backlight notification permanently powered on, the battery lasts around 82 hours (around 3,5 days, 1,22% per hour). This means, that activated backlights will increase battery usage by about 0,18% per hour. If there is no backlight notification ongoing, battery life is normal (around 96 hours, 1,04% per hour). Tested with flight mode enabled.

How do you test the battery consumption? This is a common and reliable method.

Could you add a fade feature?

That is not possible, hardware is limited (by controller firmware) to simple on/off.

I got the message "Cannot open update.zip (bad)". What does this message mean?

That means the file got corrupted, you should delete the update.zip in /sdcard/ and download the zip-file again, copy it again to /sdcard/ and rename it to "update.zip".

Ok :) can't wait for one, should be a great combo.

/edit: i restored factory settings and now it continue with booting :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thunderteaser:
I flashed the CF-Root kernel on my JP6 official Froyo (updated through Keis), so I have the 2e version Recovery. I have some questions:

1) If I use the update.zip method which you state to be no-root, will my phone be unrooted again? (I suppose so, but I wanted to ask anyway);

2) Which pit should I use to flash the root version with the Odin/Heimdall method?

3) Should I check Re-partition with Odin method and lose data? (And if not, why do we have to specify a pit?)

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fr4gg0r:
I'll flash when bln + voodoo is available :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
1.) if you have already cf-rooted (or used bln_root.tar) then the phone will stay rooted by using the update.zip.

may be i should rename it, to avoid confusion. ;)

2.) Well, i dont know what happens if you not select a pit. maybe you want to try it? for jp6 i think 803 is the recommend pit file, only use 512 if you also used it to flash jp6/jpm with odin.

3.)NO,

DONT

select re-partition!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
I'm on 803pit(not 100% sure here), flashed with JPK, then flashed JPM w/o repartition. Working flawlessly.

After that flashed BLN kernel, witout pit selected. Works as expected :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thunderteaser:
Oh, thank you, thank you, neldar! :)

I used the update.zip method: it was very easy and fast and everything went smooth as silk!

I confirm that my phone is still rooted (yippie!) and I'm really really enjoying it!

Since I opted for the update.zip method, I'm also asking someone else to try it. By the way, when I flashed the CF-Root kernel through Odin I didn't have to specify a pit and, obviously, I did not select re-partition. On the other hand, Heimdall does not support repartitioning yet, but requires you to specify a pit file. I'm still confused a bit.

EDIT: Great!

Okie dokie! If I'll decide to upgrade to the next release through Odin, I won't select it! Though, when you already have a rooted phone and 2e recovery, I think the update.zip method is the easiest/safest/fastest!

Finally, here's my feedback: It really does what I expect it to do, and it does it pretty good! I really don't care about all the fuss on the blinking feature, I prefer a battery-friendly/lite kernel that just works. Moreover, you scored a bull's eye by adding the "Super Optimized" kernel! So far, it's a 10 out of 10!

I'm waiting for you to add Voodoo support, once it's released!

Thank you again and keep up the good work! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
This works on any 2.2 firmware right?
