I'd rather get sigkill1337's UI to compile... :p

Lots of nice security tweaks and settings could be done with a pre-boot GUI :)

Anyway, concerning encryption, I'll use the bind option for now, thanks for the tip.

But if anyone here could give me some pointers about compiling this stuff it would be great.

I managed to compile it by integrating luksunlock in Android source externals and main.mk but when I push it to my phone and modify init.rc to call it, it just does not work...

Other modifications are working (mount, mkdir, etc.) but the GUI won't show up :(
[Wildfire General] sigkill1337:
Sorry for the late reply.. But you could try running it from a shell when the phone is booted, just to verify that the binary starts (thats how I tested it without having to reboot my phone all the time)

My environment for building the source was setup using one of the tutorials online, nothing out of the ordinary

Im still running this on my phone, for almost 8 months now, I havent noticed that much in performance problems, the Wildfire was slow before i started using luks.

When i get a new phone (maybe SE Arc) i will be easier to see if performance is affected
[Wildfire General] krothold:
There is an Issue for getting CM support for encrypted filesystems during boot:

Issue 2736: support encrypted filesystem from boot

If you want to get that feature, just "star" it, so it may get more attention.

yep, finally here, maybe its jl1, but my guess its an unleaked firmware.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
NOt the same phone

Bell/Canada and they use i9000 for their vibrant

I already have 2.2 and will probably be running on 2.3 by end of next week
[Vibrant General] Mr. Apocalypse:
(sigh)....same ****......different toilet...
[Vibrant General] charkey:
OP might be on Bell is is excited that he'll be getting 2.2 on his own version of the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] khulsey:
I saw today that the droid x is getting a second update to 2.2.1 and the phones came out on the same day. Samsung may be slow with updates but I think t mobile makes it much worse. I expect an update this month but tell me why every other phone gets update love and we dont.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Popularity/sales. There's articles on it. Look at the popularity of the Evo and compare it to the updates they get all the time. Makes sense. My question is...why are you same idiots on a forum for development *****ing about stock ota updates. If you don't mod your phone, what are you wasting your time here for? Just flash a froyo ROM and shutup. If you've been reading anything, you'd know that the official froyo will most likely not offer anything more than the stuff the devs have out right now, the leaked builds are pretty much what we'll be seeing from T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Some people want official/supported ROMs for their contract phones.

If you don't like it you can stop responding and just STFU.

Those third-party ROMs all have issues and they are notorious for having worse battery life and stability than stock ROMs.

People like me don't wanna touch **** like that.
[Vibrant General] pooroldluser:
I love the custom ROMS, and the biggest no-go for me is the loss of Thinkfree Office that comes free with the stock ROM, which I use frequently for work. Of course, there is a lot of crapware that I didn't miss, but when I realized that I lost that program and would have to pay to get it on a custom ROM, that was a dealbreaker. Also, I get tired of having to reconfigure my apps, address book, and contact linking every time I flashed my phone.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Time to go work on your reading comprehension.
[Vibrant General] greenstuffs:
Yeah so far the best battery life are the Official leaked roms, any third party rom are just less stable and waste more battery.

After trying all the custom roms for the vibrant i just had to go back to the official, sadly that wasn't the case for N1.
[Vibrant General] khulsey:
The custom roms are nice but I like running the stock roms and loading themes from here on top of them. But if t mobile takes their sweet ass time with 2.3 then I will be running custom.
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
You're very uniformed, the third party roms for vibrant are way more stable and bug free compared to the samsung garbage. Their programmers are terrible.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
I've noticed that a lot of the bugs that come with custom roms are caused by flashing multiple roms one after another without a trip to Odin. I believe that ghosts of old roms are the reason there are huge inconsistencies in the bugs people report. I rarely have issues with TW and Eugene builds now that I revert to JFD with a repartition between flashes. Most of the issues that I do run into are caused by flaws in the leak itself (blurry mms, wifi calling app). Titanium restoring system settings, especially when moving between roms based off of different leaks, is another culprit. The main reason for the battery drains is the I9000 kernel. Once source gets dropped, kernels will be built off proper source and battery life should get better and there should be less issues. Just my 0.02. To each his own, but I still prefer the custom roms and I'm waiting for the actual update so Samsung finally has to release their source.

[Vibrant General] julez456:
First of all it "uninformed" not "uniformed" and these third party roms ARE NOT bug free. I have yet to find a rom where the MMS was bug free which is unbelievable to me. These developers can work magic on porting over all types of roms to these phone that technically shouldn't work on them but they can't make MMS work flawlessly. MMS is an important feature I need to work perfectly and that's one feature that has never worked (flawlessly) on any rom or any phone I have ever had. (My G1, Nexus, Vibrant, or MT4G). So now I always root my phones but keep them stock and just theme them to my liking.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Notwithstanding who you are quoting, you are wrong. I don't put anything worse than the official release on my phone and that's usually what I get when I flash something from the Development section. It's usually extremely tacky too
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
I have to disagree with you. Ive ran every rom from the android development and they all have bugs. Usually they start off fine but a couple days later bugs start to pop out. Most roms would be final if there were bugfree, besides app updates/tweaks.

All roms where installed after running Odin/stock

Problems I had with custom roms:

Minimum 3 freezes a day.

usually freeze during music playback

External sd card was hit or miss

Freezes during usb mount

Inconsistent battery life

custom kernels caused problems

Tons of lag on every rom/Needed lagfixes

Panic Mode(Never seen this until Customs Roms)

Odin every other day

Android Market problems

Data problems(needed to activate airplane mode on/off)

etc... Hate to admit it but my HD2 was more bugfree.

Its not the devs fault, they dont have much to work with but they are certainly not bugfree. My jk6 rom is running perfectly without the need for lagfixes or custom kernels. Only mod ive added was an accurate battery mod. I understand everyones phone is apparently different but I do suggest trying the newest one.

The only rom I could use day-to-day is TW roms.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
You mean the extremely slow and bloated official releases. If you haven't noticed, a lot of the improvements made to manufacturer releases are based off custom roms here. Even Google kanged some of the stuff CM has been doing in Gingerbread?. The bugs that were squashed between Window Mobile 6.0 and 6.5 were squashed on XDA. If you like slow, stale and possibly less buggy, stick with the official releases. Many of us prefer bleeding edge enhancements

[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
It comes to mind that Samsung will not even consider updating the Vibrant until the Nexus S has been out for at least two weeks to a month. I believe they will just wait and try to entice more people to purchase the Nexus s (the longer the wait for 2.2 the more appealing Gingerbread is on the Nexus S.) I am not impressed with the specs on the Nexus S ( no sd card for starters). The Nexus S is due out on Dec. 16, 2010 so I am not looking for an official update to 2.2 till early next year, if then.
[Vibrant General] OuncE718:
I agree a million percent. Lucky for us we have dev support and the unofficial leak to pacify our wait. At least we not stuck on 2.1. I would rather the official release which should be lag free and have gps improvements.

[Vibrant General] Five0nIt:
yea im the same way.. i appreciate all the hard work from the devs and i do try the roms, but in the end i go back to stock.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I think the releasing of froyo is not in the hands of Samsung anymore. They already gave what they needed to give to T mobile. I'm not really sure though.
[Vibrant General] PeterHook:
Wow custom roms are laggy??? Buggy?

Have any of you crybabies tried CM final on Nexus one? Can you really say that stock froyo on nexus is better than cm or any other final rom??? Right now with custom rom my nexus battery lasts twice as much than with stock rom. I have more features and better apps than the stock ones. No crashes, no lag.

If you don't like buggy roms then don't install beta roms!

I just installed Eugene's latest rom on vibrant and it is 300 times better than stock. And im sure it will be better than stock 2.2.
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
The others who said it are right! Bugs on these roms, like tw , are from people not listening and reading .

If you don't at least factory reset and clear dalvik, that's where your "bugs" come from.

I'm using sXe v4 and have not one single issue, fc, nor battery drain! Perfect rom. Why?..... Cuz I don't just flash over rom again and again.

But I do understand people wanting the "real" ota. But for me, the last and only ota I got from tmobile, which was just a gps fix, bricked my phone!

So no thanks tmobile ota's, I'll stick with trusted devs who know how to do things right. Like like team whiskey. They are awesome devs!
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Ok so you only use ROMs that T-Mobile issues to you and you're posting on a third-party developer site complaining about something only T-Mobile can satisfy you with. T-Mobile has forums you know..why don't you guys just spam those, maybe they'll have greater effect.
[Vibrant General] DMaverick50:
How delightfully stupid you are!! You think you're in the development section...how embarrassed you must be. The general and q&a sections have never been limited to development in the 2+ years I've been frequenting the website.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
i9000 is already up to 2.2.1

and evidentually the fastest ROM yet

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
This website isn't just for roms.

Its for rooted or non rooted people who need help with their devices. Most people like the OTA because it feels official and if there are any problems you call T-Mobile and they tell you how to fix it.

Whereas I can't do the exact same with custom roms

So think before you stereotype.

K?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Cry more about my post...

This is general, not the development section.

There's nothing wrong with me showing my disdain for custom ROMs in a general forum that doesn't have anything to do with cooking ROMs. If you like jacking off to custom ROMs you're free to go do it in the development forum, and you can be sure that I will neither see you post, or post there myself.

This site is usually quick on updates about things happening in the various communities, so lots of people who do not mod their phones lurk and/or post here.

Get with the program.

Can we all grow up now? Please?
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i posted a thread asking for a real reason (you know, backed by facts) for this perpetual 'you should odin before flashing' myth. and no one provided a reason. most roms wipe, so odin is unnecessary.... there are no 'ghosts' in the machine...
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
that's what i thought too , but the bell vibrant is identical to the international version anyway that why it got the update faster than us..

and maybe they are working real hard on perfecting the GPS since it's the primary issue that customers are clamoring about..
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
+1

this is just like all the people complaining about gps. you are on xda, if you don't care to flash a fix or rom, don't *****. i hear that's what tmo news is for....
[Vibrant General] runal:
I totally agree with Obi_Kwiet. We like the ability to choose, an up to date stock rom which should have been released long time ago (complaining is ok) or a custom rom.
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
Sorry if i affended anyone with my above post. Since i got the phone a few months bacj ive ran nothing but custom roms. I have friends i wss installing custom roms for. It was really fun for me but it got to a point where usibg odin every couple days because of crashes and countless times were i lost data.

It was truly fun but right now i need something that works. Up until now i couldnt depend on phone throughout the day. Jk6 fixed all my problems, but i understand everyones experience will be different. After removing bloatware from stock rom and adding the battery mod, im good. Just waiting awhile for tw roms until after newyears because ill be bored again.

What happen to this place,xda?
[Vibrant General] xtone:
OMG! ANOTHER FROYO RELEASE DATE THREAD! (how exciting!)

OMG! MORE WAH WAH WAH WHERE'S OTA?! (what's new?)

OMG OMG OMG! NO. SERIOUSLY? (seriously)

Failure to realize that all of the above will not fix bugs nor speed up the OTA....

PRICELESS!
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
Wow I missed the "rom flashers only" sign when I joined. Xda offers more than roms ie. Apps, reviews. With that said yes the froyo crying is redundant but this is America and you have a couple options

1. Deal with the post. They're not going anywhere.

2. Keep contributing to the endless crying over crying over froyo posts.

3. Turn off your computer/leave the forum and you won't see the post.

Evetyone make their choice and happy modding.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
My apologies. I'm just more productive with my time I suppose. To me, it seems silly to waste time on a site complaining about what time can only heal (waiting for OTA updates if you're not following).

If I'm going to waste time online, I certainly wouldn't overlook all the things I can do RIGHT NOW to my phone to complain about what I'm waiting for, which just happens to involve all the same features. I guess I'm just used to finding solutions and forget about people who don't value their time and would rather simply "discuss" their phone in general, then learn something. Sounds exciting.

As stated many times, the number one bug with flashing stable custom ROMs is 'user error'.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Yeah yeah yeah, I'm so stupid. It's just the topic, honestly I think there should just be a sticky titled "WTF why haven't we gotten ***** yet?" and just change the build to 2.3 once we get froyo. I think it may solve things.
[Vibrant General] mrxela:
If people like you don't want custom roms, then why are you trolling on xda forums? Hit up your carrier's forums and complain there.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Another one who cant read...
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Glad to see atleast not all people here on xda are complete stereotyping morons.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
We're not including you in the stereo type of problem SOLVERS like ourselves who have fixed issues you still have. We're stereotyping you as someone who apparently isn't capable of learning how to fix what you don't like, that is your point right? That you're not someone that is willing to learn and fix it yourself? That you would rather post in thread after thread about not being handed everything you want? I think that's what you're getting at, and don't worry we all understand you. Understanding why is where the problem lies. All the sources to get what you want are here, and yet...?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I'm taking about people saying this forum is for people who want roms only.

And this forum exists and is so popular because of the people asking questions. Do you really think we're gonna go to T-Mobile forum and ask how to root or how I messed up my phone after rooting?
[Vibrant General] :
I just had a meeting with a Regional Samsung rep yesterday and he was unsure of when the update will happen. I had previously been told that Dec 22nd is when it would begin to roll out but from what he was telling me that date may not happen.

hi.

i have milestone with screen touch problem. the problem is the right side of the screen doesnt respond including the button on the right side which looks like magnifier(also there is same in google search on screen). is this a hardware problem or software. how can i fix the problem. thanks for helping
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bitz_dv:
Download an app called touch test, run it and verify that portion of the screen isn't working. Also does the screen not work all of the time? Sounds like a hardware problem a few phones have. There is however a similar problem with phantom touches that is caused by not using the motorola charger.

If it is hardware, you can get a Replacement digitizer off of ebay, or a donor phone. You have to be VERY comfortable with taking apart your phone though.

I'm not even thinking, if you have a warranty you can use that, I'm of the 'if you haven't opened it, you don't own it' crowd, so self repair is always the first thing to come to mind.

My dream is to open up my own company and design my own mobile os and to make smart phones. Working for Google like designing things would be cool too. I am heading off to college this fall and I need some help picking a major. What major would I need to go into to do things like this. Please help me. Also i have a term paper and I have to write how to achieve my dream job, so if you can answer quick that would help :) thanks in advance! btw I signed up for electrical engineering - is that good?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Daneshm90:
Firstly, ud need to know the name of the company

Google is the company, android is their mobile os flagship.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EndlessDissent:
I don't think electrical engineering will help much as a major, but having an understanding of that stuff will help. But definitely look into computer science, software engineering, and pretty much anything computer related, especially things like systems engineering, and for phone development, you will DEFINITELY want to look into anything involving embedded systems.

You will need experience programming software and firmware, so programming courses are a must, so take as many of those as you can.

The most important thing you can do, though, is find books and resources for yourself and teach yourself as much as possible outside of school. A lot of courses revolve around a specific subset of material and may not discuss the topics that interest you. That, of course, will depend on your school's curriculum requirements and the professor teaching the class.

Whatever you do, though, make sure it is enjoyable to you and that you aren't just settling for something easy or convenient.

[Fascinate General] massappeal16:
I have flashed Super Clean to my Fascinate and set everything up how I want it. Then used Titanium Backup to save it. However when I power the phone off and back on it goes back to the way things were set up before... is that normal/ I assumed it would stay the way I set it until I flashed another rom?
[Fascinate General] Holliday:
I have seen that on my phone and have seen lots of people in the forums having the same issues. I have done so much work on my phone the passed couple of days I couldn't tell you exactly what fixed mine, but here is what I believe did it.

Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset

After restart go into clockwork recovery mode. Wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset.

Start up phone. Setup one thing. Wireless, email, whatever as a test. Power down. Start up. Did it save? If so then add a few more things and power down again. If its still saving you are golden.

Nothing pisses me off more then setting everything up and finding out that it still is not saving settings. :D
