[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stephen:
Better to wait a while for the bootloader and have it built and tested right. If it is released early it has the protential to brick a lot of phones properly as it will be replacing the orgional bootloader. Be patient people, the devs are doing an amazing job!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xlanhackerx:
OK now I read that nobody seems to be interested and we have to used Cotullas Bootloader I personaly break at this point and says thanks for the comments !!

MOD Please Close this Thread !!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beretta93:
With such highly lyrical appraisal, I guess you must have MAGLDR flashed on your phone..?

Cotulla has been criticized by several developpers as talented as he is for keeping his bootloader closed source, even if it's his right. The point? His source code could inspire other devs working on other devices. So making a new bootloader out of scratch may be tough, I think personally that it's a good intitiative.

Without knowing everything at stake, what were you trying to accomplish here anyway?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
Well I'm certainly entitled to my opinion, just as you are.

It seems fruitless to me for someone to take months to develop an open source version of a bootloader already developed.

The developers' time could be better spent on things as yet undeveloped.

I am sure that if developers on other devices want some help, Cotulla would be willing to help them on IRC anyways.

I have not seen actual developers criticize Cotulla for not releasing his source code for magldr, only a few forum members who have not developed anything.

The developers I have seen have all praised him for creating the bootloader, porting WP7, helping with NAND development and other feats.

Maybe I missed something...

Honestly it's not the worst idea even and I do see theoretically someone might want to attempt it, it just seems like a horrendous waste of time and it seems the best developers on this site have day jobs and I don't see them spending their free time redeveloping something in the name of open source.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beretta93:
You surely did miss something, it happened on htc_linux IRC chat, several times.

The problem is that MAGLDR is not out yet , and anything can happen today or tomorrow forcing DFT team to drop the project suddenly, sending all the work on NAND drivers LeTama, Gauner1986 and others did go to garbage.

The fact that one person has full hand to such a project has its pros, for it can be dangerous to deliver a bootloader that might brick phones everywhere around the globe out of the blue, and cons, since no one knows what may happen to threaten the project life.

So I think an alternative is welcome, and the point I agree with you, is that it should have come really earlier, like 2 or 3 months ago...but never too late it is friend. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] IphoneKiller125:
I think Cotulla has got MAGLDR im not to sure but from my point of view,ide much rather wait for him to do it and have it done properly as he knows what hes doing rether than someone else do it and not having it work 100%.Cotulla has put an awfull lot of time and effort into sorting out this NAND and it will come,we just be all patient but when it does come,our device will be truelly awsome,having the abillity to boot 3 or more Os,itle deffienetly give our HD2 a couple of more years life before we get somin else,its been a while in the making and i reckon we could see it be released early next year.Well as the saying goes,all good things come to those who wait
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JonSolo:
Just wow again. I am always amazed at how impatient people reason...it is so...one sided.

It is the ethical responsibility of anyone making an offering to the public free or otherwise to deliver a product that is not harmful or damaging. If I started giving out free hot dogs on the corner, and warned the public that they MIGHT get e-coli if they eat it, how long do you think I would last before I was shut down for endangering the public...? Even with inanimate objects people have lost in court for damaging property with a faulty product that was given away for free.

If MAGLDR had been released and it was faulty this place would be inundated with complaint after complaint by the same people who are moaning because it is not out yet.

The OP's reasoning is WAY out there! Hmm I want a Playstation 4 , but it has not been released and who knows what is happening with it or when it will be out, so we should get a group and do this ourselves...

All I need is...

1. Someone to design it

2. Someone to build it

Really we get the right people, we could do it!

Gee. Original. Well covered. You are a project manager aren't you?

Excuse me, I need to go clean up some of this sarcasm.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesjr02:
The CyanogenMod team has been hard at work for the implementation of 4G on CM6. Would they have to start over once they focus on CM7? Or are they separate issues?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drew16:
Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand they're creating a driver from scratch, because htc's drivers are not open source. If they create an aosp driver for froyo i don't imagine it being very hard to move it to gingerbread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
They're separate issues. As long as Gingerbread's API software has the same hooks for the WiMax driver, then there shouldn't be any problems.

[G Tablet General] LeviathanUltima:
I tried to use my g-tablet as my alarm clock and it seems like I need to keep it awake for it to ring. Allowing to go to sleep or putting it to sleep, will not ring the alarm until I wake it. I suspect this is a similar problem with the sleep problem of the device. Is there a work around beside keeping the device awake throughout the night?
[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
Bump. Had a similar issue this morning and the alarm didn't go off until I woke the device. Anyone else experiencing this issue and have a solution?
[G Tablet General] P0RT3R:
I disabled the screen timeout in the settings and that resulted in the device remaining active and playing the alarm on time this morning. Of course that means that the screen is always on so it's probably worth looking into apps that display either no image at all or one that does not harm the display.

Just got a new 32gb card and phone says it has unsupported file system. Any one know a way to get it to work by chance?
[Desire HD General] bosbode:
Is the card formatted in NTFS? If so try formatting using FAT32.

Hope this helps
[Desire HD General] ceva:
Or even FAT without 32 if that possible. And that should fix the problem

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aqua1ung:
Anybody know what file system the (untouched) Nexus S might be rocking? RFS?

no.........
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aqua1ung:
Is that "no" as in "nobody knows," or is it "no" as in "it is not RFS"?:o

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
A rep from Google already said, they are using ext4.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9627089&postcount=49
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dougefresh91:
If it's not RFS then I guess the dream of Gingerbread being easily ported to other Galaxy S phones is dead. At least I think that's the case.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
Why? We already have Voodoo, that does the same thing in Froyo. The way the Nexus S is set up in terms of filesystem is very similar to the way a Galaxy S running Voodoo is set up. There are some differences in how the partitions are set up and yaffs being used on /cache. But the overall differences very small, and minor changes in the init scripts on the ramdisk packed in the kernel will take care of all the mounting.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dougefresh91:
I have my Vibrant converted to ext4 with the Obsidian ROM, but that only changes a partition as far as I know, not the whole phones data. Not sure about VooDoo as it would never work on my device.

Some people have been speculating that it'd be easy to get a Nexus S ROM ported over since they're both on T-Mob. I was assuming that since the file systems are different that this isn't the case. Look at how much trouble they're having getting the Cyanogen Mod working on the Vibrant.

Believe me, I'd love it if it really is a simple process for devs, but I have a feeling that that's not going to be the case. Again, I'm just speculating, I'm no dev.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithent:
I don't think it will be that difficult, because file systems can be changed - indeed, there are already lagfix kernels for the Galaxy S which eliminate the use of RFS entirely. Provided the kernel has support for ext4, the partition can just be formatted that way and mounted appropriately.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dougefresh91:
I hope you're right. If so then there's no reason at all for me to trade in my Vibrant for the NS. Lord only knows when Samsung will get it's act together concerning updates, so I think this is my only hope of ever seeing Gingerbread on this phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpeeDemon:
YAFFS/YAFFS2 and JFFS etc are flash file systems. Not file systems for operating systems. You still require ext/rfs/fat32 etc for the OS to work with. They mount on a yaffs/etc partition so ext/etc do not have to worry about the intricacies of flash.

Voodoo confused a lot of things for a lot of people.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
Not to offend you, but you only have little knowledge, and that is a dangerous thing. There is no such distinction as file system for operating system versus flash file system. Linux kernel supports a variety of file systems. Some file systems are optimized and written specifically for flash media (e.g., YAFFS2), some are written for hard drives but could work on flash media too (e.g., fat32, ext4, jfs), some are only suitable for disk based media. The operating system partition can be mounted on any partition with a file system that the kernel recognizes. Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 have been the native file systems of Linux, but there have been a lot of machines with no use of any of them. It is up to the root user to choose what the file system of any partition is. The init script in the ramdisk packed with kernel calls the commands to mount the file systems. All Voodoo lag fix did was to convert some of the partitions mounted as RFS out of the box to ext4, and then allowed them to be mounted natively at boot time. The end result is nearly the same approach being taken by Google in the Nexus S out of the box. One of the differences in how the Nexus S or a Galaxy S running the latest Voodoo is set up is the /cache partition, which is set up as ext4 by default on Voodoo+ Galaxy S, and yaffs2 on the Nexus S. Both partitions are on flash media, but since the chip used in Galaxy S does wear leveling in the firmware, we can't use yaffs2 on /cache. Voodoo might have confused some people, but it sounds like you were confused well before that came out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpeeDemon:
Except that ext4 support didn't exist in the .29 kernel used in Android 2.1 - you seem to think it magically just works, because it works.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
I know that supercurio patched in native ext4 support in Eclair, and it didn't just magically appear. The Froyo kernels do support ext4 natively though, so a simple script injection enables Voodoo. Since Gingerbread kernels from Google will also suport it (as Nexus S will actually use it), why can't another script injection work again to enable a Gingerbread kernel to work with Galaxy S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
Am I right in thinking that supercurio is a dev?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treUse:
You do know this thread is more than a couple of months old, right?

Anyway, to answer your question: yes, supercurio is a dev.

Hello xda developers...

First-time poster.

Advanced Beginner/Intermediate programmer attempting first Windows Mobile app.

Got a deal on a t-mobile dash off ebay and am trying to create an application or two for it for personal use.

Problem: Getting a simple program written in c# to run on a t-mobile dash.

Question: How does one create a .cab file?

I've been doing research online and windows website doesn't mention .cab at all. Some discussions i've found said it's impossible. confused.

Back Story:

The Test Application: a text box, listbox and two buttons (one adds entry in text box to list box. the other button clears items from list).

Running Visual Studio 2008 on Vista (business? not the stunted home version).

Programming in C#. For a T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur?)... running windows mobile 6.x.

I coded a simple app just to see if I could get something functioning on my phone. The emulator was windows 5 (which seemed okay. all 3rd-party apps i've used are windows 5. work fine).

App ran fine in emulator; however, when I copied the .exe to phone and ran, it said the framework was too new (which seemed odd going from windows mobile 5 emulation to windows mobile 6 os).

IS root problem from .exe file (where I need .cab?)

Any advice, website links or anything would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks all!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
First of all what version of the .NET CF framework is running on the real device?

Run \WINDOWS\CGACUTIL.EXE

A popup window reports which version(s) are installed.

This is of the form [Major.Minor.Build.0]

Eg [2.0.7045.0] is .NET CF 2.0 and [3.5.9198.0] is .NET CF 3.5

If the version of .NET CF for which you have built the app, is the same as that on the device, the exe should run fine. You do not need a cab, copy the release .exe straight to the device.

Otherwise, there are two options,

1) Install the .NET CF version required on the device.

2) Change the .NET CF in the VS2008 build. This is not always easy as it it is usually selected when you create the project. See attached.

2a) It might be easier creating a new project against the correct .NET CF and the copy the old source files over.

If it lets you change the framework, you will find it in the Application side tab of the Properties of your project, (Project, not Solution). If the "Target Framework:" drop down box is greyed out, see the second image, you are stuck with 2a) above.

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] fermunky:
Off topic, but it is no longer considered funny on the Internet to say "I can haz..."

That being said, that is a pretty clean looking kb. If I was a fan of using the on-screen kb (read: if I didn't have fat thumbs), I'd definitely give that a try.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] heybobitsme:
Hmm... I didn't get the memo on that. But I still think it's funny! :)

It's actually pretty functional. I use the on screen keyboard for quick texts and am using it right now. I still don't think it'll replace Swype or Swift Key. But it is a big improvement over the previous keyboard.

HA HA! By the sounds of it before your time (I'm old!) They were a toy from the '80's, like Army Men but cartoonish ants. There's a thing going around on Facebook about posting cartoons from your childhood as your profile pic for some stupid cause (the cause isn't stupid, believing that changing your profile pic will do anything is but I thought it'd be fun).

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] MusicMan374:
Love the new keyboard, had a couple of issues though. It was laggy at first, but I reflashed, and now it's fast again, don't know whether reflashing it or rebooting fixed it, but whatever,

also, it doesn't seem to like the word "don't". The only way it will suggest don't is if I type dont exactly. If I type something close, such as domt or dobt or dony it suggests font. It just won't suggest don't. Anyone else having this issue? I'm running cm6.1-stable with a ported theme on it ):

EDIT: I added don't to the user dictionary, now it suggests it. Still odd that it doesn't by default.

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] heybobitsme:
Are you guys trying to install as an app? It needs to be flashed from recovery. Other than that I can only suggest you redownload and try again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] fermunky:
To clarify, you are stating they should be using this while in recovery:

adb install whatever.apk

Correct?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] heybobitsme:
Not abd install. It's a flashable .zip. Flash just like a ROM.

Edit: Looking into it further, the .zip contains a shell script that removes the old keyboard and an update script to install the new one and of course the apk. You can do this all manually through adb. There's a guy (Ryan) that commented the instructions in the linked article.

Sent from my CM6 Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] KCRic:
So if it's a flashable zip then it can be done in recovery without adb. Just select 'install zip from sdcard' go to the zip and install like a rom. At least that's what I get out of it being a flashable zip - I'll try it and see.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] acejoker25000:
In the linked thread it states go into recovery and install .zip. not anywhere does it say extract or use adb there are instructions to do it that way and if your getting the error when flashing then you will indeed need adb
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] MusicMan374:
Yeah, but it only works on froyo, don't pull a stupid like I did and try to flash it onto an odexed sense rom xD Had to reflash my rom because it removed all of my .odex files and I couldn't boot.

ANYWAY, yeah for some reason, it won't predict ANY words with apostrophes in them. Only if I add them to the user dictionary. Very annoying, but I suppose at some point I will have added every word that I could possibly conceive using into the user dictionary. I think it has something to do with me having the User Dictionary for Better Keyboard installed, it was only for sense UI roms, but titanium restored it when I hopped onto cm6.1, so that may have been the issue. Since, I uninstalled that user dictionary app, but it's still happening. Oh well, I think it's worth it. :D

Its posted under MyTouch Slide, and since the MTS doesnt come with 2.2 (nor is there a 100% port of 2.2 for the slide that I can find) Then Im assuming this should work under 2.1 - but it seems to not work.

[HD7 General] pistol44:
I know some have discovered how to access this menu on a WP7 device or two by dialing ##634# on the dialpad. We know this does not work on the HD7.

Has it been discovered for this phone yet? I'm in a bind where Wind Mobile has issues with WP7 devices and MMS messaging and read a few got it working by performing some changes within this menu.
[HD7 General] profets:
No idea if this helps, but there's an HTC app called Connection Setup. It detects the carrier you're on and applies apn settings. Really not sure, but maybe it applies an apn for mms as well?
[HD7 General] pistol44:
Actually that was my last resort and I tried that already. Sure it gave me a list of carriers to choose from but did not help even when selecting "Wind" in the end. I got excited for about 20 seconds.

People with Samsungs were able to resolve their issues by accessing this menu. So I have to rely on either someone getting the codes for the HD7 or if MS releases some kind of fix in their big update next month.
