Thanks for the help guys,

I'll try a few things including the prebuilt kernel in one posts

at the moment, I gotta wait as it's converting itself to ubuntu - netbook edition. ;\
[Desire Android Development] mblaster:
Try:

fastboot -c 'root=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 rw rootfs=ext2 init=/usr/bin/sh rootdelay=5 noinitrd' boot arch/arm/boot/zImage
[Desire Android Development] sirnono:
Anything new ?

Hi

So finally did you succeed in booting a linux environment from your Desire without chrooting ?

If yes, could you please explain step-by-step how you did this ?

Maybe there are good examples or tutorials out there ?

I did a search and did not find anything noob proof ;)

At least i would really be interested in doing this too.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] itsfozzy:
I hope there's a simple answer to this question, but why do some people "refuse" to post on XDA?
[Desire Android Development] Deathisfatal:
I'm not sure why yours isn't working... This is the command I use to boot Debian:

fastboot -c "root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rootfs=xfs rootwait rw init=/sbin/startlinux boot *path to zImage*"

Startlinux is my custom script that boots it all up as it doesn't like init for some reason.

EDIT: Actually, your problem might be that it's rebooting straight after you send it the command. Have a look at "cat /proc/last_kmsg" straight after it boots, it might give you some info.
[Desire Android Development] tknv:
I am interesting your idea,a and which kernel did you used for it.

As same as build by bravo_defconfig ?

Because I run native debian on Android,But could not open /dev/tty0,so could not use Xserver,directvnc,fbterm and some software needs open /dev/tty0.

When use that debian from VNC.(running vnc server on debian and accsess by vnc client),I can see GUI debian. But it is not my aim.

There is my entry configure native devian on android and usb hosthttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702742&highlight=usb+host&page=8

Do you want to run ubuntu on android device without run android ?

My aim is run debian(any whatever) on external usb monitor from android device.

Now mplayer could run on external monitor by USB hosted kernel that in above link.

Thank/
[Desire Android Development] tknv:
It run native debian without chroot.

Maybe you want to run boot a linux environment without run android.

It can run native debian software on android without chroot.

You need to compile a custom kernel with virtual terminal support (under device drivers -> character devices) to run X11.

I use vorkKernel because I find it beats the plain CM kernel in just about every way and I just modify the default vork config to suit my needs.

That I tried before.

Thanks advice,But I tried it before and could not compile it.

Disable VGA text console and Framebuffer console if it's selected in Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Console Display Driver Support. That should hopefully fix your problem
[Desire Android Development] tknv:
Works !

Disable VGA text console then works !(I did not configure FB console yet at that time)

Thank you.

Now could run directvnc on external monitor USB-display from Android device,also usb key-board works on directvnc from USB-hosted bravo.

But very wild.

I need configure monitor setting and also now no way to stop direcvnc except kill process from wireless adb.:D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeMonkey:
I'm using my N1 with my car handsfree kit (Seat Ibiza 2010) - the bluetooth settings for the car kit shows options for media and phone on the N1.

If I deselect the media option and then connect to the car, on disconnection the media setting is reselected.

How do I stop this occurring- any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeMonkey:
OK - did some more testing when I got home from work..

Regardless of what I try, once connected to the phone profile of the car kit the media profile then activates within 1 to 2 minutes.

This happens every time I use the N1 with the car and is driving me nuts.

I've tried deleting the pairing - no joy.

How can I stop this from happening?

How in the hell do you still have Altell? Verizon bought them out years ago.

Verizon had to sell off portions of Alltel in areas where the only main competitors were Verizon and Alltel. AT&T bought those portions but as of yet have not converted much, or any, of those areas. So they are still operating under the Alltel name.

Hi....

I have rooted my wildfire using unrevoked3, and also trying some customized ROM on it.

But I am having problem on charging it on OFF condition.

During the charging process, the LED keep showing RED and not switched to GREEN. I unplug my charger, press the power button, but nothing happen.

I have to remove battery and put it back to power on.

But everything worked fine when I charge it on standby position.

I noticed in other thread that it was an issue from unrevoked, and I intend to put my Wildfire on 'original' condition.

Have been surfed on shipped-rom.com and download RUU hTC Asia TW 1.18.709.2 and tried to reflash it, but the process stuck in the middle.

It says something like I should try to get a proper ROM or something.

When I tried to download other version of ROM (from shipped-rom), it never succeed. Download process stopped somewhere in 60-70mb (of approx 135mb).

Kindly advice, how can I get my Wildfire back in original condition, please ?

I mean, I would like to have it unrooted and using official ROM.

Thank you.

Rgds,

Andika
[Wildfire General] phunctionist:
Where are you from? Are you from Asia?

If not, the best solution for you at the moment is the 1.37 ROM, which you can also find on shipped-roms.

If you want a rooted version of that ROM, you can find it here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807983
[Wildfire General] andikasaja:
thank you for the reply...

i am in indonesia (asia) and have tried the rooted rom as per xda-dev

but still it cannot fix the problem on charging when the phone is off

honestly, it is not really a major issue as i can start it up using the optical trackpad button. but still i would like to know (if there is) any solution of this bug from unrevoked

[Wildfire General] Elibongo:
The reason why the rooted ROM didn't fix it is because it doesn't flash the recovery. You need to use an RUU from here file to flash it because that flashes everything.

[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
I have had the Samsung Galaxy S for about a month now and played around with it quite a bit. Having had Winmo, and Blackberry devices before I quite like the Android OS. The GPS on the sammy is quite frankly crap, the main selling point for me was the AMOLED screen, but I find myself dimming it down to preserve battery life which isn't that great. I HATE KIES, what a terrible bit of software that is, apart from that the device is very good.

But now I am being drawn to the Dark Side :) and looking at the Desire HD and don't read the same amount of negativity I do with the sammy, and it seems size does matter - that extra 0.3 inches!!!

Anyone played with both devices that can give me some objective pro's and con's, it would be very much appreciated.

Vibrant AOSPish FroYo 1.0

​

I based this off of eugene373's JPM port. So GPS is NOT WORKING. Everything else, however, IS working.

This is based off of Euegene's JPM_Update that was posted 10/21/2010 at 9PMEST... It has all the fixes except the new recovery one he just posted.

My goal since getting the Vibrant was to make it at least look as AOSP as possible and I can say it's pretty close.

Screen Shots:

I mainly made this for me, but decided to post it up for everybody.

MAKE SURE YOU DISABLE VOODOO BEFORE FLASHING THIS

ALSO MAKE SURE THAT YOU FLASH A 2.1 KERNEL IF YOU GO BACK TO 2.1 FROM THIS ROM

I take no responsibility for you flashing this, blahblah....

If you have issues with the market, try rebooting. I never had any market issues myself.

To Do:

Reboot in Power Menu

Notification Pulldown Theme

More AOSP Theming

Avatar inclusion ?

Sims 3 inclusion ?

just flashed it with rom manager using clock work yes it worked thanks man gonna post up my feedback asap!

Haptic on Home button is a JPM issue. Will see what happens when they make a new kernel. I just do the front side of things lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] redwolf313k:
No biggie bro still awesome
[Vibrant Android Development] redwolf313k:
Install rom manager open it and install the clockwork update make sure theres no update.zip files on your internal sd card then download the rom using anybrowser just not the stock browser for some reason it won't download then put the file on the root of the internal sd then reboot using rom manager (the second option under clockwork) then reinstall packages then it should boot to clockwork, then choose install file from sdcard then choose from sdcard then every thing else is self explanatory lol
[Vibrant Android Development] kraftey:
So i imagine this has the potential to wipe the SD card like the eugene's build, right? What exactly was the way to avoid that? Just put it on an external sd card?
[Vibrant Android Development] redwolf313k:
I don't think it wipes if you already have eugene froyo installed cuz it didn't to me and I was able to do a titanium back up but I think wipes if you running stock not sure
[Vibrant Android Development] rancor187:
Could u pls explain that? So I just can't go back to 2.1 by simply flashing a 2.1 rom? How can I flash a 2.1 Kernel?

thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Both Bionix's ROMs and my Vibrant AOSPish 2.1 ROM will flash a kernel for you. Other then that use the search function.

This has not wiped my SD card. Although I backed everything up.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zebwen:
My wife keeps asking me what I want for Christmas, and honestly, I think I want a Tablet. I don't really know why, but I love my HTC Hero so damn much that I think I would really like a larger, more powerful version (that can play 3D games, watch movies on, etc). I have seen a bunch of relatively inexpensive Android based pads on ebay, such as the Zenithink ZT-180 as well as many other cheaply made (looking) iPad clones. I'm not above getting one of these providing they actually work and don't just fall apart immediately.

Does anyone had any experience with these devices? How is the build quality/Android implementation? Is it worth getting one, or is it really worth the enormous price for the Samsung Galaxy Tab?

Thanks in advance!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zebwen:
Doublepost I realise, but just to add another note, I've just been looking at the Archos 7 Internet Tablet, and it looks really good! Android 2.2, good build quality, capacitive touch screen (rather than resistive), multi touch, accelerometer... It definitely seems to tick all of the boxes! Only downside is the lack of Android Marketplace on the device (which I have read can be kinda hacked to add this separately).

Anyone tried one of these? Definately looking like the right device for me, as a lot fo the others don't support multi-touch, or they have resistive screens, etc. Plus Archos is a brand I know and I am confident that still means something.

Any comments or suggestions?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] player911:
I was just reading a Mobile magazine that compared a TONS of PADs. The one that struck my fancy was the "KMART" brand which is a 7" Android 2.1 800mhz tablet for about $149.

Thats dirt cheap and would probably get you where you need to go quite easily. Sure it isn't Froyo 2.2, but anyone with a Nexus knows that there isn't much different between the two.

EDIT: Found the Magazine, Maximum Tech, by Maximum PC. The Kmart PAD is a rebranded GenTouch78.

CPU: 800 Mhz

Ram: DDR2 256mb

Internal Memory: 2GB

Expansion Slots: SD/MMC card slot up to 16GB

Wi-Fi Connectivity with Full Web Browsing Capability

Supports Ebook Formats: Text, PDF, E-PUB, HTML

Supports Media Formats: MP3, WMA, FLAC, AAC

Supports most popular E-Book formats

Picture Viewer in JPEG, BMP

Video Player

Rechargeable Lithium Battery

Carrying case included

@Above: My Co-Worker has an Archos (older one I think with 1.6 on it) and I've installed the Market and Maps and stuff no problem. If I remember correctly it was just a matter of downloading the APK and installing it.

The Archos listed in the Magazine is the Home 7 Tablet with Android 1.5... and a newer version released by the FCC called the Archos 32 with Android 2.1. No listing of it having 2.2 unless it has been updated since publication. It does say expected in October for about $150.

Great info! Thanks a lot! I have had a look at the Gentouch device, but the screen wasn't really what I was looking for, but then again, it is dirt cheap! Nice to hear that the Archos devices can be sideloaded easily enough, how did you find the overall build quality of the two?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UpSpin:
what's the intended use?

You have to keep in mind that

... Gingerbread tablets will get released, soon

... Android is a mobile OS at the moment, which means not as powerful as the real Windows, thus only good for browsing the web, watching a movie, checking mails, but no work

... if you want to do some work you'll need Windows sooner or later (just take a look at Office, there are some apps for Android, like Documents to go, but it's not useful to create documents, rather view and do some minor changes

... if you want to take notes, then there is no possibility with Android at the moment. Lack of hardware (pen or keyboard), lack of software (like OneNote), lack of tools (like Handwriting recognition)

... really interesting tablets get released soon, regarding Android: Notion Ink Adam with great hardware and included software which should make their Android stand out from the android used on smartphones, regarding Windows 7: HP Slate, regarding WebOS: HP WebOS slate, regarding MeeGo: unknown

So better tell us your intended use.

If you just plan to do the same with the tablet you currently do with your smartphone, then take the cheapest tablet running Froyo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zebwen:
I would use the tablet to do much the same things as I use my laptop for currently. Watching movies, listening to some music, playing the odd game and browsing the internet.

Admittedly, not having ANY productivity suite is a big downside, I hadn't thought about this really, but is there no app to remote desktop to a PC in the house? If it is possible to RDP/VNC to another PC, then this is no issue at all, if there isn't, surely one is on the way? I really don't want to pay the premium for a device powerful enough to run Windows 7 and have a lot of overhead taken by the OS, I don't think I need something as complex as a "full" OS like that. Plus I REALLY love android!

So im new to the whole Phone scene, This is my first smartphone.. I know shocking. And of course being a Customizer and moder in everything I dabble in I rooted my Evo and am now scouring the net for useful apps.

So my question is..

What are your favorite/most used apps and how do they save you time?

So far heres my list.

Audio Galaxy - Can stream all my music from my computer. No storage needed.

Apps Organizer - Keeps folders looking sleek and easy to access. Also the most available icons by default.

Last Call Widget - Can just glance at my phone to see who called.

XDA App - Faster than the stock browser.

Android Central Widget - Android news at a glance.

Rom Manager - To obvious there.

Selective Silence - Good White/Black list for vibrate... still searching my options for this type of app. (any suggestions)

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4p741nkrunch:
Dropbox is definitely my favorite time saver. I NEVER have to plug my phone into my computer just to swipe a file! Saves me huge amounts of time :P Plus I download roms and hacks for other phones and store them on my desktop so when I run into my friends I can quickly download appropriate hacks and bluetooth them on over :P

If you want to sign up, and it's free, could you use this link? I get 250 MB more storage upon a successful referral (that's another thing I like there)

*NVM* Can't post links (I'm too new) *NVM*

PM me if you want the link to sign up please!

Barcode scanner is another time saver. I hardly use it to scan any actual barcodes at all, but it can read QR codes off webpages as well. So when I want to download an APK while I'm browsing on my desktop, I just bust out my phone and point it at the screen and it does all the hard work! There's 45 and a half apps that do the same function, but this one is my favorite as it has the most minimal UI.

Fast Reboot is definitely one of my most used apps. It's essentially a link that sits in your drawer (or wherever you place it) that does a software version of a reboot upon press. It's great for clearing tons of memory quickly, calming down your Android when it's bugging out with a memory leak, or if you're handing your phone over to someone and you don't want them to hit the back arrow and see that you were on Ebay looking for outfits for your girlfriends Tea-cup chihuahua :P And did I mention it's literally instantaneous?

Hope it helps!
