[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
So, I've come across 2 fixes for version 2.6, but unfortunately only 1 can be active at a time. There is the Option Key fix, which is the little icon that shows up beside the keyboard icon when you press either Caps or the Option key (It now shows up). The other fix is Keyguard completely locking the screen without using Option+Red Button. At this time I cannot get both fixes to run at the same time.

Also in line for version 2.6, I have completely eradicated all errors related to ROM building, it's really funny after all this time, I had not realized how buggy our ROMs have been built. Also fixed, is the ROM compression method. Palm's OEM ROMs only supported XPR compression, that's why I found it odd that somehow my XPR compressed version 2 ROM was more intact than Fjtor's Kitchen ROM. I have now added the appropriate LZX driver, which properly compresses Treo ROMs, which probably saved as much as 1MB at build time.

I forgot to mention, I have been trying to add a fix for the "Dead notification sounds" that have been present in Palm OEM ROMs, surprisingly I only saw this fix for AT&T's Treo750. This is one bug I wish was fixed along with that Backlight bug.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Samueldw:
Which fix are you going to include in your release?

I couldn't find the time yet to test your roms, schools and things like that, but I will test them soon.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Well, it certainly is a tough decision to make. Fixing the "Dead Notifications" bug might actually depend on hardware, since this fix only targeted AT&T phones, I might have to look into the AT&T radio, and our Treo Hardware Version (Mine seems to be "A").

Since we can actually lock the screen, I will prioritize the Option symbol bug, as I only tested WM6.1 (which works) but not yet WM6.5.0 (WM6.5.3 does not work). Of course, the LZX driver will be included this time.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I felt I needed to update the situation regarding Version 2.6

First of all, my changes ended up being too radical for a single incremental update revision, so the next version will be Version 3.0, the final version this time.

Next, my Treo is reaching the end of it's life. I'm sure I flashed it well over 100 times already, on average 10 times a day or 4 times in 30 minutes. That is the reason why the testing has been slow lately, as I have numerous problems such as a dying battery, keyboard keys wearing out, bad earpiece speaker, etc.

Now Version 3.0 has been fast, at least the WM6.1 version. Sometimes it gets too fast and while the OS can keep up, the phone is only a 300mhz phone so we can only do as much actions at a time, which will freeze up the phone. I now have to find a way to lower the way the OS acts....

I have also been trying to remove Active Call only (the today plugin that has those "Email" and "menu" softkeys on the today screen) for WM6.5.3, now my method does work and we can finally have a working onscreen Start menu button, a power button, and the Windows Mobile dialer. The problem is: WM is hardcoded to dial by number keys only, so when we use our qwerty keys to dial, only letters come out (and not the numbers). You would have to double press the Option key to enable the numpad on our keyboard to dial numbers, otherwise everything works as it should, so if you're a fan of WM6.5.3 voice out here on whether you don't mind qwerty dialing or 12345 dialing. By default I will leave Active Call in.

Another change is the backlight. Remember when we change our backlight, and the keyboard backlight will also change? I have a way to manually control that keyboard backlight. Think about it: you increase your screen brightness to see the screen out there in daylight, but it's a waste of battery increasing the keyboard backlight, and it should be off during the day. I was hoping to do a old Blackberry style time based backlight (for example keyboard light on after 5PM, keyboard backlight off after 8AM), but Palm somehow stopped halfway in implementing keyboard backlight control...

Other sever changes include upgrading the phone software (not the radio), I have now pinpointed the cause of the SIP icon problem (when you press the Option/Caps key, an icon onscreen should show up) but that is difficult because the Treo boots up too fast and the boot order get's scrambled. I also tried to implement WMV camera video recordings, but 2 problems showed up: you can either record the video and playback on computers ONLY (can't play in phone), or record Audio only. Maybe that won't work after all....
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Samueldw:
Sad to hear that your Treo is dying. Yesterday i tried the new 6.5 build 2.5. Good work I can say. It's a nice build.

But i'm back to 6.0. My battery is not a palm and I think that's a problem. He doesn't update the battery status all the time, so I get a message that I have to change the battery. :(

If I find a palm battery I will buy one. Than I will definitely choose one of your builds!

I hope your treo will still works for a while. And what are you going to do if you pass the treo station?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Say, what is it about WM6.0 that works with your battery? I also have a none-Palm battery, and when I charge it, it slowly charges up to 20%, and then it instantly displays 100%, same thing when I discharge the battery, it slowly goes down to around 80%, and then all of a sudden I need to recharge. Maybe I'll flash WM6.0 myself to see, but I am interested how WM6.0 treats your battery.

I may be able to get a fix in for none-Palm battery Treo's, seeing as how Palm is no more, Treo750 users will have to rely on 3rd party batteries. I won't make guarantee's, but I did do something while I was cooking that changed the way the Treo displays battery percentages, but it didn't like my old Palm battery.

As they say, I'l cross that bridge when I get there. But I recently bought a new phone online (still a Windows Mobile), I pray that goes through, so I hope to make Version 3 end in style :) This has definitely been an eye-opening experience for me, working with this Treo. I can imagine if I had a Treo Pro, the users in that forum could have benefited from my expertise.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Samueldw:
My treo came with a totally empty battery. I first thought that my treo was dead.

Now my battery stays at 98% full charged. So the charger does not stop charging because it's never full. When I work with my treo it works just as normal. But sometimes when I look by battery (in the option menu) it's not recognized. I don't see my status then. Wm6.0 does not give an error at that time, were wm6.1/6.5 does.

That's very annoying because my treo vibrates and it feels like a sms. That happens 3 times a day.

So I would be happy if a dead battery notification in 6.1/6.5 could be turned off.

Hello, I recently changed my old hd2 to the new G2 phone from T-mobile.My G2 is already rooted. I'm totally new with my G2 and i would like to receive a little bit of help from you experts in developing mobile engineering in installing custom themes or roms on the G2.

Thanks!

There are guides to follow in the Development forum on how to flash ROMS. Standard themes will be the same method,... unless they are "Metamorph" themes,.. but the publisher will explain if they are.

[Windows Phone 7 General] denizen08:
Is there no other way to transfer files to WP7 other than emailing yourself?

I have some documents and ebooks I want to read but its taking such a long time to transfer.

I'd have to fix up my Live SkyDrive instead if there is no other way. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Once you start using Skydrive you'll wonder how you did without it :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
yea, skydrive seems to be the best solution really. you'll still have to use your mobile browser to get to skydrive as no direct syncing is available (hopefully in next update), and you can at least pull down from skydrive. However, not upload again.

How android market can be available in samsung galaxy s for UAE/Middleeast after upgrading to android 2.2?

I heard that the following method not working for 2.2.

************************************************************************************************************************************

It seems that android market is not allowed in middle east , Samsung Galaxy S devices always shipped without Android Market installed.

to resolve this I goggled and found the below resolve

1. ensure your Galaxy S Phone is set to use 24-hour format

(applications-> Settings-> date and time -> Use 24-hour format

2. launch the Phone Pad

3. enter the following :

*#272* the follow it with the time on the phone (4 digits) then follow it with #

example, the time on my phone now is 18:51 hence I shall enter *#272*1851#

4. the phone shall display a new window.

(BEFORE PROCEEDING SEE EXTORIAN'S WARNING BELOW)

5. select "XSG" and hit "install"

the Phone shall reload and your "Market Apps" icon which be there.

************************************************************************************************************************************

I want to upgrade to 2.2. Is it true this method wont work in android 2.2. I found in some thread that the above method not working after upgrading to 2.2. Is it bcause they didnt format after upgrading it or they didnt factory reset the phone?

Please help me. after seeing the thread I didnt go for upgradation.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloakDev:
I'm looking for a way to have screen shortcuts directly to activate themes, not having to go through settings and themes etc.. Is there a way to do this?

Why I would like this is of courseto save time. To switch to a car or work theme as I sit down in the drivers seat or at my office. Lazy? Oh yes..

I'm still running a stock DHD, havent rooted/rom:ed it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techdaring:
I am using my Nexus One for a while and there's no issue at all. However, yesterday, I just turned off it and turn on again, it isn't working now, just show me the screen with "X" picture ( like the X digit with four colors ).

I have try to Google and search some original firmware, download it, copy to my SD card with the name update.zip and try to recovery it but always get the error status 7.

I haven't rooted my phone.

Please anyone can help me to fix it ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Does it say anything more than "Error status 7", some text perhaps?

The FRF91 update from here should work (the HTC-signed one, link). Does it get far enough to give any output in adb logcat?

Thank you. I will doing :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Follow the unroot/restore guide from the wiki, using the passimg method.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus

The zip file you need is linked on the word "here" on step 2. Use the FRG33 zip.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techdaring:
@danger-rat: Thank you for your method, my phone is now working again. I am appreciated about your help :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Just out of interest, was your phone a non US one? If so that would explain it. They use different signatures for those updates.

Could not post link but the SDE exist on Archos download page...
[Gen8 Android Development] czesiu:

[Gen8 Android Development] czesiu:
sooo... warranty is void as a whole or just in the software part...
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
Mm, funny part is that it link to the same aos file as the archos gen 7... so be careful as they probably have not have updated the link? I doubt both use the same SDE firmware, but I could be wrong.
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
so if your display backlight breaks, it doesn't matter as it didn't break because of the SDE
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
the link on the website points to the firmware_archos5.aos file :( they haven't updated the link yet.
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
Yup. hope they add it soon.
[Gen8 Android Development] incen:
Aah, my misstake! :( Did never check the actual file, only read the text. Took for granted it was the correct file. But hopefully it will be released very soon then if the text is there.
[Gen8 Android Development] chpimentelpr:
Haven't update the link yet... :(
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
ok now there's no link anymore, just a simple

I'll get some tea :D
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
They like to taunt us. Probably laughing at the moment at us for waiting so impatiently. :D

Really looking forward to using the entire 8GB as app storage as well... 300MB is kinda ridiculously low.
[Gen8 Android Development] raminator:
that would be sweet if someone would be able to port open pandora´s linux to our gen8s. coz there´s a ****load of emulators (including n64, psx, dosbox) for it and is running an cortex A8 like us :P
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
There's also the issue that pandora get that nice thumbsticks and keys. Solely controlling games that are not made for touch screen by touch is going to hurt the experience some.

great

[Gen8 Android Development] bbop:
I think that it might be possible that a 3rd party sellers' gurantee would not be affected by installing the SDE as it would be legally independant from archos' own warranty. I'm not sure though and I certainly wouldn't want to have to try it out myself.
[Gen8 Android Development] raminator:
but they are hopefully faster than the ones we currently have + n64oid isn´t out yet and this is still in development + new psx4droid v2 does not seem to run any game that 1.7 was able to.

EDIT:

psx4droid v2 seems to have problems with compressed roms.

.z compression does not work but eboot does
[Gen8 Android Development] MGUS:
SDE is online now

-> downloading right now
[Gen8 Android Development] Bierfreund:
Can someone explain shortly, what SDE is exactly?

I read somewhere that it is a kind of a rooted firmware, but if i understood the last pages here correctly it is not even Android OS, but Pandora Linux (which i never heard before)?
[Gen8 Android Development] MGUS:
it is like an open multiboot environment..

You can build your own os and boot it (OS can be Android, Ängström (included as demo) or what ever you can imagine and realize)
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
Confirmed.

Have it downloaded too, but am to shy to install :(
[Gen8 Android Development] MGUS:
Booting Developer Edition right now..

[Gen8 Android Development] incen:
Good, good, now things can start happen :)

Updated title again.
[Gen8 Android Development] MGUS:
ok, up and running...

Screen is upsidedown in Ängström and OnScreenKeyboard often recognize two clicks instead of one, and many bugs.
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
hurraaaay.. but wait.. dammmm... WHERE IS MY A101?! still not arrived :(
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
Aw Chulri.

I'm not even sure what I want to run there. Maybe when Cyanogen works for it, and maybe test out Meego? So many OS to try.
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
I'm curious who's the first to come out with a custom rom for the Archos 101, bringing root first of all, and cpu frequency back to 1GHz.

Other things nice to have:

- More space for apps (8 GiByte internal memory should be worth something)

- International support for USB keyboards + single mouse click

- Display both on built in screen and HDMI device

Anybody? :D
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
Yeah, that 8 Gig internal memory will be nice.

I'm backing up my system first for restoration atm before installing SDE...

If we can bypass the watermarking it might be nice too, don't like being watermarked...
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
@MoonPhantasm you don't have to backup (ok, it's always safe to do a backup ;)) as the Android firmware won't get removed.
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
Yes on both, don't want to risk anything. Thanks for the info though. I was aware that the android firmware won't get removed, but I have files on the data partitions too.
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
My only concern is the watermarking... I don't want my device to be marked as developer machine, just for looking at Ängström. By the time there are custom roms available with lots of benefits, I'm thinking about voiding the warranty.
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
you pay too much attention to this "void warranty" thingy..

it's not hardware but software related. so if your battery dies because the cpu is at 100% for 10h then yes, your warranty is voided. but if your display or touchscreen dies because of nothing then no, your warranty isn't voided.

what scenario are you scared of?
[Gen8 Android Development] Kashban:
In Germany you have to be cautious about what to do with your device. If you void both warranty and "Gewährleistung", you'll get nothing if the archos fails.

"Gewährleistung" (minimum six months) is lost if you use the device in other than the intended ways and I guess using a non-vendor supported firmware falls under that juristiction.

Thing is: I rooted and s-off'ed my HTC Desire within two months after buying because the benefits outweighted the risks of bricking it... which were quite low. Unless there is something similar for the Archos I tend not to bare the risk.
[Gen8 Android Development] MGUS:
sry for german...

Gewährleistung darf 2Jahre nicht unterschreiten (siehe Richtlinie 1999/44/EG des Europäischen Parlaments)

6 Monate bezieht sich auf die Beweislastumkehr!

Gewährleistung kann nicht ausgesetzt werden und betrifft nur einen 'Mangel' (siehe §§ 434, 435 BGB) am Gerät
[Gen8 Android Development] vertig0730:
Rough translation:

sry for german. ..

Warranty may not be less than 2years (see Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament)

6 months refers to the burden of proof!

Warranty can not be suspended and only relates to a 'lack' (see § § 434, 435 BGB) on the unit

So the Android stays on the device and I'm able to choose between the two at boot?
[Gen8 Android Development] incen:
Yes, and future firmware updates of Android wont break the Linux installation.
[Gen8 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
so can someone clear up the process for us who havent tried it yet.

* so does it mean that it is meant for an alternative OS that is NOT android?

* if android is allowed too it means that you'll have 2 android OS's on the same unit?

* how/when do you chose which OS to boot?

* where is the 2nd OS stored? has the unit got 2x areas in it which the OS is stored or is it stored on the internal 8gb storage area? (if so thats pretty slow RAM is it not?)

* is there anyway of getting rid of the old (archos) version of android which most of us will not want to use once there is a decent build of it?
[Gen8 Android Development] Unmensch:
Hmm, I'm getting an internal error 220 after it reboots to try the installation. :(

[Edit]Ah sorry, should have done it in recovery mode[/edit]
[Gen8 Android Development] DougEdey:
Man, Angstrom is FAST!

Unfortunately no wifi working yet, still looking at what to do...

*SDE is installed from RECOVERY (instructions are very clear from Archos)

*Change OS to boot from recovery aswell

*Everything gets wiped

*Android 2.2.1 is installed at the same time by the looks of it (I'd just done a factory reset so I can't really tell)

Angstrom keyboards are rubbish unless you have ant fingers...
[Gen8 Android Development] bbop:
In gen7, android OS remains perfectly intact with apps and settings when installing the SDE. If anyone could confirm that this is no longer the case with gen8's SDE that would be fantastic...

Try it with a stylus and you'll find it incredibly responsive... er that is if you have a gen 8 with resistive digitizer..
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
Hm, unfortunately it's the same, bbop. Android OS is perfectly intact...

As for gen8 screen, there are stylus for capacitative screens as well. So no need for resistive digitizer. I'm not very fond of angstrom though.
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
first step would be: make a copy of archos android (or even better: plain android 2.3) running in sde so we have perm root ;)

[Gen8 Android Development] DougEdey:
Just to confirm, do you just want the file called rootfs.img?

I already have the rootfs of archos froyo firmware. What I don't know is, how to modify this so the SDE firmware will boot it :rolleyes:

[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
Is my english really so bad? Thank you very much, but I'm able to read and I do know how to boot the SDE.

Now tell me where to copy what to run android 2.2 or even 2.3 using the SDE? :rolleyes:
[Gen8 Android Development] JeremySS:
Has anyone started with trying the CyanogenMod port for the G-Tablet and booting it from the SDE? My 101 is back at the house, but wondering if there has been any luck yet?
[Gen8 Android Development] blazingwolf:
How would that work? The Gtab has a Tegra 2 processor. Wouldn't be even close to being compatible.

Now the DroidX version might be close but I'm not sure if that would work either.
