When rooting with this app does the bootloader get unlocked?
[Fascinate General] zachsx:
I really don't care for your snide remarks, I was just trying to be helpful. For people who have problems rooting their device via ADP, or one click root. So they can take advantage of all the hard work that our devs do for us.
[Fascinate General] zachsx:
But for future refrence, since this was a horrible/wrong place to post this information, where would you like me to put it? I respond better to people who are more polite.

Well terrible sorry guys
[Fascinate General] sic4672:
Honest mistake, no worries. People have just been getting up in arms lately over posts like this. I'm sure people just get tired of repeating the same thing again and again, so it's nothing personal.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
No this will not unlock the bootloader. This phone is known for having very tight security and the efuse chip that locks the bootloader. Of course this doesn't unlock the bootloader.;-P
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Agreed. I think it took me something like six hours of research before I was comfortable rooting my G1. Having to learn beforehand is priceless.

its not hard to manually root your phone on a computer. you should have saved some of that energy searching the internet and just gotten it done already
[Fascinate General] deftdrummer:
Yeah but by the same token we all screwed up our phones at one point or another when dealing with root issues. It may bother you that "noobs" don't understand what they're doing, but that is only in the sense that you hate their incessant questions on the boards.

By this same token, what really bothers you are people being lazy to the point of not doing a little research. So really, it's not one click root apps, it's people's laziness that bothers you.

There are alot of people here that act like android professionals and condesend to others. Correct me if i'm wrong but nobody here works for google or invented any of this... we're all just hacks at different skill levels, and everyone was a "noob" at some point.

Hello XDA :)

i am porting a dual-rom to work on our Tattoo (i will replace the ROM,just use the scripts :))

and i wonder when the sdcard is mounted on boot, plese with a paste of which script it is :)

if it is mounted after init.rc i want to know how to manually mount it :)

info about the dual-rom:

SPQ-ROM+any donut rom (i think i will add a poll soon)

when in one rom you may just run a script to boot into the other (using GScript)

[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
Even though I have followed dev/porting for 8 months starting with HTC Touch, I have little knowledge of how it is actually done. So here's my question to the developers.

We all know that Nexus S (2?) will have Gingerbread 2.3. Looking at the rumored specs and model number, it seems that Nexus S is a slight upgrade from Galaxy S.

Assuming most of the hardware is identical to Galaxy S, how easy is it to port 2.3 to Epic 4G, once Galaxy S becomes available?

Specifically, what is needed to bake a new 2.3 rom? Do you need to reverse engineer like what devs did on HTC WM devices? Or is it a straight port? I suspect it's somewhere in between but want to hear from you.

(If necessary, please move this to android development forum.)
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
The simple answer to this (which has been answered in other threads already if you looked) is no its won't be easy.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Also, the Nexus S is rumored and pretty much guaranteed to launch with a dual core processor. The rumor is that they delayed the device and gingerbread to implement this, since it will be google's new flagship device and has to be cutting edge. Everyone knows that dual core processors are set to hit the market within the first couple months of 2011 anyway, so releasing an old generation processor in a flagship google phone just makes no sense.

So no, it will not be easy to port from the Nexus S. It will not only have a completely different processor, but will also probably only be a GSM phone.
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
I agree and think this is the bigger problem (for the Epic at least).

Sure would be nice if the folks at Google would release at one clean Google device for each carrier. I'd be on it in a heart beat.
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
Yes that would be nice if they did that.I am surprised they are even doing another google phone by the way it sounded when they stopped marketing the nexus 1 that had no interest in doing another google branded phone.
[Epic 4G General] LucJoe:
Those are just rumors, all of the official specs that have come out say it will be a 1.2ghz hummingbird. The dual core 1ghz orion chip is definitely on the horizon but I highly doubt they will be able to get it in at the last minute, and there's a good chance we won't see it in phones until late next year. All rumors of a dual core Nexus S have had no credibility with their sources.

That said, if this turns out to be a dual core phone and gingerbread turns out to be optimized for dual cores, a port will probably be very difficult. But if it's just a 1.2ghz hummingbird then it would just be a matter of getting the CDMA radio working.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
The reason that I think he has to have a dual core in it is as follows:

If it has a 1.2 ghz hummingbird processor, BFD. It immediately launches and is mediocre. Nothing exciting at all about it.

If it launches as the first dual core phone, it is the top of the line phone worthy of being branded as a Google flagship device.

Also, if it just had a 1.2 ghz hummingbird processor, what is the holdup? It is no different from phones released months ago. Also, if its a 1.2 Ghz processor, it will be eclipsed within a matter of a month or two performance wise by Tegra 2 and dual core snapdragon processors. Basically, it would be an embarassing flagship device. The original Nexus is still to this day a damn good phone that is near the top of the pack of android phones performance wise, and it is a year old.
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
You are fully aware the the Tegra 2 do not even exceed the hummingbird in gpu or cpu performance right? Im just saying cause it would suck if you didn't know what you're talking about.

Plus gingerbread will have HW acceleration, putting gpu performance on a step for the overall fluidity of the gui. So again... what's faster?
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Really? I assumed it would greatly ourperform. Where did u get your facts.
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
I'm trying to find the article again, but i know they were close but Tegra 2 did not outperform the hummingbird. Apparently now they optimized the platform more.

Don't get me wrong i love nvidia, that's all i've purchased and stayed with them even thou they still dont have a decent dx11 card that doesnt need 2 power supplies. But they really need to step up and their CEO needs to wattch what he says and deliver more.

Here's a quote "On the 3D side, Nvidia says it has doubled the performance of the initial Tegra, resulting in a peak speed of 90 million triangles per second. This level is well beyond the performance of any mobile processor shipping or even sampling today." Hummingbird has the same exact performance. And CPU performance is a very interesting area. Anyway the GPU performance is almost par with the Hummingbird leading maybe by 3-5%
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Since Tegra 2 is dual core and android does not have 2 core support till Gingerbread (Actually I don't think it even supports cortex A9 till gingerbread)..so if they ran 1 core vs 1 core I'd see a hummingbird win against a Tegra 2..but if Tegra 2 is running dual core (and optimized for it) it should win...but by that analogy Orion would then be superior.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Not to mention that Tegra 2 does 1080P video recording. So yes, releasing a google flagship phone that within one month is eclipsed by LG with the first Tegra 2 phone, would be embarrassing. The Nexus 1 set the standard for almost a year, before the Galaxy S line came out. If the Nexus 2 can only set the standard for under a month, that would be stupid. Therefore, it is easy to conclude that the rumors of the Nexus S having a dual core are most likely true. Doesn't mean it has to be the Orion, but it would be awesome if it was.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Tegra 2 is a Cortex A9 CPU... as is the Samsung Orion and the TI OMAP4xxx chips. They accomplish 2.5 instructions per MHz as opposed to the 2 instructions per MHz in the Cortex A8 Hummingbird, and that's not counting improvements to instruction efficiency (getting more done with less instructions.) Add to that improvements such as out of order instruction handling and dual-channel memory support and Cortex A9 chips are head and shoulders above Cortex A8.

The only reason Tegra 2 wouldn't outperform Hummingbird significantly is, as mentioned, lack of dual-core support in current builds of Android, and the nVidia GPU which is, surprisingly, only just about on par with Hummingbird's PowerVR SGX540.
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
OK here's facts dudes. Tegra sucks... really please get it.

[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
I'm not sure that triangles per second is accurate to describe performance.

Still, if you want an article:

http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?p=17125

The Hummingbird has memory bandwidth limitations that I don't think the Tegra 250 will. Lets wait and see.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Here's the facts dude, and try to get this; Tegra2 does not, in fact, suck. You just posted a video of it being benchmarked on a netbook running Android 2.1 which cannot make full use of Tegra2's dual-core CPU. Secondly, neocore is a GPU test, not a CPU test. We already discussed the fact that the Tegra2 GPU is only just about on par with the SGX540. Thirdly, that test is being run at a signifcantly higher resolution than a mobile device would run, and frankly, considering this, the score isn't bad.

Fail, man, fail.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
I would also like to point out that I wrote the article that sauron0101 just linked. It's also posted on my blog (linked in my signature) posted back in March. Tegra2 does feature dual-channel memory support as part of the Cortex A9 architecture, which is a significant advantage.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Any idea how fast the other Arm Cortex A9s are compared to the 250?

- We know that the SGX540 will be in the TI OMAP 4 series; probably not bandwidth limited - I am surprised that they did not opt for the SGX545

- The Samsung Orion series has Mail 400 (unknown performance)

- The Snapdragon (A8 unless Qualcomm opts to keep the name "Snapdragon for its A9 CPUs) will have a new generation of Adreno 300 graphics

Unknown if we will see this on mobile

- Marvell also has a new SOC

Also interesting is Samsung's Netbook roadmap, which uses the same SOCs on a phone:

Sorry if all of this is a bit off topic, but it is worth looking at what everyone has.

Edit: Qualcomm is keeping the Snapdragon name for the A9 processors.
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
Does no one see i was talking about Gpu perfomance? That's what's gonna matter in Gingerbread. And that's running 1024x600 on that res Galaxy tab is around 53 fps. It's the same thing that Vista started doing with HW accel so u understand.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
The Hummingbird is capable of 1080p read and record fyi..its in the manual for the hummingbird...

But overall I think it would not make sense to release a new developer phone unless its a Cortex A9 with dual core...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lordxiagan:
Just that. Wifi or USB tether doesn't function. The phone says it's connected, but the laptop says no network connection.

There any replacement apps that might help? I flashed the latest radio and that fixed a GPS problem I was having, but didn't fix the tether. Suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
Its not clear, were you able to tether before, and now you've lost that function. Or is this the first time you've tried it?

If its the first time, ATT has blocked this function with the intent that you pay for the extra tethering fee.

But a simple reg edit works around this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=569953

Also, there is a free WiFi sharing app on this site, if you do a search. There are also paid apps, like Walking Hotspot, that also work.

Keep in mind, tethering without the tethering plan is a violation of ATT's terms and conditions. They reserve the right to levy big per kb fees or cancel your service.

That said, I've done it from time to time while on business trips (no excessive data usage), and its never been a problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lordxiagan:
I'm an idiot, I forgot to update my sig. I'm not running stock anymore, sorry. I actually forgot which rom I switched to, but it was one of the lighter ones. had wifi router, office, and everything basic on there though. What option do I have if I don't remember which ROM I used?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
The custom ROMs I've used (Energy, simplicity) support tethering by default without any modification or settings to change. Or the WiFi router will basically do the same thing.

I still don't know if you have been able to tether before, and suddenly can't; or this is you first time attempting it.

If its something you've been able to do before, some computers can be finicky (for no very ovious reason) with the Internet Sharing function. Try a different USB port, or to reboot your system. Also, you need to have Active Sync installed on your computer (or Windows Mobile Device Center, in the case of Vista or Windows 7). This was a big "duh" moment for me one time. I was trying to get tethering up on my work laptop. Then I realized that I had never installed Active Sync since my work gave me a new laptop.

Tether/Internet Sharing via Bluetooth should also work, if you computer has Bluetooth.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lordxiagan:
I apologize again. With this ROM I've never been able to tether, and I just reinstalled windows and installed activesync. I can do activesync and file transfers and everything else. What else can I do? Maybe it's a driver issue between windows and the phone? I'unno.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] udgn:
This is what happens.

Ok, if you connect to the internet from the phone, and once connected you then hooked it in the PC, then you wont be able to connect tether. So turn off any phone internet connection, and then hooked it up to the PC , then connect.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
I don't think he is talking about being connected to the internet. When you start Internet Sharing, it will say on the phone whether its connected to the PC over USB, or not. That is what I think the OP is talking about.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
just update your rom... go to one of the energy roms that has wifi sharing built in and you'll be ready to go.

Probably the easiest thing you can do to get this working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] udgn:
What I'm trying to....

What I'm trying to explain is that, if you have data running in your cell before connecting IS, and connect it to the PC it wont tether, you need to first end Data Connection, connect IS and then HOOK THE USB to the PC.:)

I just flashed my Kaiser with Fat Free Froyo RLS5. I really like the Android OS, but the lack of functionality is bothersome. I can't type into the Google search bar that is on the desktop, the camera doesn't work and, worst of all, the USB to PC data connection is inoperable. These things along with some other minor things like the fact that I can't change the volume of the alarm clock make me want to try a different flavor. I've only been using it for about an hour and already found all these problems so I can image that there are more.

All I am looking for it a version of Android that will allow me to use the camera, browse my SD card from my PC, and has a working WiFi. Speed is also a concern.

If I could get some suggestions I would be appreciative.

Thank you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
Camera not working is related to your kernel/radio rom. Also you could use not so super froyo if you want the same with more features. If you want more speed I suggest a Cyanogen based rom as these are the fastest currently. I suggest changing your kernel to l1qu1ds latest .32 kernel via the thread that is stickied at the top.

USB to pc is not working through my computer right now but adb is at least. What I do for data transfer is just use System on NAND and Data on SD and use a card reader for the data.

Lastly, remember that android on the Kaiser is by no means perfect and is still more or less of a thing to be like "Look what my old phone can do!" thing. If you want everything perfect then Windows mobile has that already. Otherwise if you want a cooler newer OS on your phone then its going to take a little time for us. We have come a long ways but not all the way there yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
the search bar will work if you download google search from the market, it was removed since it can be installed from the market, fat free is fully functional you just have to work to get it going out of the gate, now in contrast not so super froyo is ready to go from the get go
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mmec2:
I am using Fat Free Froyo RLS5 and all that stuff works for me.

USB to PC works perfectly in linux :) It works for me on windows 7 too, but you just have to wait a long time (maybe 2-5 mins) for the computer to recognise it.

To change the alarm volume just roll the jog wheel while in that menu (or press whatever buttons you have assigned to volume up/down)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lemminman:
Thanks for the help, guys.

That is the kernel I have. My radio is version 1.65 something.

I don't have a card reader; that is why this is important to me. Are there any Android versions that this works, or an app that I can install even?

The only reason I don't want WMP is because it is ridiculously slow to respond. I had heard that Android was much faster so I am giving it a try.

That part really isn't a big deal; I probably would never even use it. It was just one of the many small glitches I was noticing during normal use. Things like there being no way to bring the phone back from sleeping except the power button (not even opening it!). At one point, when it is just sitting on my desk, the screen turned white and the phone was completely unresponsive. I had to hard reset it. They keyboard works except when dialing a number where it seems completely random.

If there is a workaround to these things, I'm fine with doing some personalizing, but if not, I would like to know if there are flavors that don't have these kinds of issues.

I think I will try Cyanogen like you suggested and see if I like it any better.

Thanks again for the help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
the white screen is a known issue apparently overclocking improves this
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
White screen is present when the system didn't draw the screen before it power up.

When you overclock the system is faster so it spend less time to draw the interface.

Sometimes you have with screen when the system sleep but it can't resume because the main app crashes.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] lemminman:
This changes "Ring volume" regardless of what I have opened.

Thanks for all the input, everyone.

I have tried four different Android builds now and I haven't gotten a USB data connection with any of them. I noticed that one of them had a Network option, as though I might be able to browse files of computers on the network which would solve my problem. Unfortunately, that particular build just says "Error" when I try to turn WiFi on.

Is there an android app I can install that will allow me to transfer files between my phone and a PC? That is really the number one priority right now. To test these Android builds I have been reverting back to WMP every time I want to try a different one because I need to put the androidinstall.tar onto my card. I tried loading a bunch of different ones on the card to avoid this, but I get "Permission denied" when I try to rename a file in the andboot folder.

Thanks again.
