[Windows Phone 7 General] Vintage144:
I mean most sites are riddled with fan boies making snide comments, but not here , because in hear you have "visionaries" these are the people who are called "makers" , "dont ever tell me that this thing cant be broken "

I look all around in here and members see an Android or Win Phone or any device as something that took skill to make and even more skill to break (i use that term loosley) , nothing is broke, its actually given new life!

I have a Win Phone 7 Samsung Focus, had a Blackberry 9000 Bold and iphone 3g before that , I had a chinese Eizo smartphone touchscreen a year before apples iphone and it had all the bells and whistles what intrigued me the most was how open the phone was, everything was accessable, hackable to anyone who wanted to mess with it , newer phones especially phones made for the American market are given hidden functions and its up to the great people of this forum (and others) to find and unlock these features !

I get frustrated all the time because I hate having to go back to the beginning , most of you know what I mean , for those that dont , try it sometime, in other words while forging into the unknown on your new phone test something in the diagnostics of the phone; anything , it might be a useful discovery to post to the community , it might not be, the really cool thing is that through discovery good or bad is great for all of us , because thats how we learn , trust me , when someone tells me "dont" use *#367'# (not real) or whatever ,I wont do it (if they reasoned why) otherwise I will try it out , like I said earlier I dont really like starting fresh , but only because it takes time to get back to where you were!

Any way to all you Innovators , Visionaries I salute you ! I will learn from you as well!

Customized Finnish/Swedish keyboard layout and character maps for Xperia X1

WARNING!: If these keymaps don't work for you for some reason or if you miss some steps by accident, then your keyboard might no longer work. Make backups and preferably have a SDCard reader close by and a way to modify files on ext2-partitions. Proceed at your own risk; no guarantees whatsoever.

I've attached to this post some customized Finnish/Swedish keyboard layout and character maps for use with Android. These have only been tested with CyanogenMod 6.0 build from neopeek with seandean's v4b "advanced" kernel.

These maps enable åäö and other characters printed on the "FISE" physical keyboard. In addition there are some extra bindings that make life in e.g. a ConnectBot terminal hopefully a bit easier. Not all Android's terminal apps support the Scandinavian characters.

Extra bindings:

(Fn means the blue key on the bottom left of the keyboard. Shift+Fn means that both of those modifier keys must be pressed at the same time.)

Key = character, character w/ shift, character w/ Fn, character w/ shift+Fn

Win = Camera (Useful as ESC in ConnectBot)

Sym = DPad Center (Useful as CTRL in ConnectBot)

àü = Search

e = e, E, &, €

r = r, R, /

y = y, Y, ), ¥

p = p, p, ?, Delete

a = a, A, \

s = s, S, $, §

d = d, D, [, {

f = f, F, ], }

g = g, G, ', "

h = h, H, -, _

l = l, L, 6, £

@ = @, |, <

z = z, Z, >

x = x, X, %

c = c, C, ~

v = v, V, ^

.; = ,, ;, *, `

.: = ., :, 0, ´

The € symbol doesn't show up for me in ConnectBot, but works in e.g. Browser. Some terminals seem to accept Fn+Space as ^A but this hasn't really been tested.

Backup your /init.etc/keymaps/kovsky-qwerty.kl and /init.etc/keymaps/kovsky-qwerty.kcm.bin files and place the included replacements to /init.etc/keymaps on your root partition overwriting the existing files. Reboot the device. Note that there might be some caching, but rebooting should take care of it. QWERTY-layout (kernel parameter "physkeyboard=kovsq") should be selected in most builds inside HaRET's STARTUP.TXT by default, but double check if you have problems.

BTW: http://code.google.com/p/scandinavian-keyboard/ is a nice replacement for the on-screen software keyboard, but there are alternatives.

Häv fun!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] cage85:
I would like to get this working but I haven't found a way to edit data.img where the files are found. Any tips?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
On windows I use a combination of Ext2 IFS

and ImDisk.

Install both of these and you can mount and unmount data.img, rootfs.img etc by

right-clicking the files.

They will appear as normal disks in explorer. You should use a text editor that is compatible with unix line-endings.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] robpi!:
A german keyboard layout (with ß,ä,ö,ü) would be nice. Can you tell me how to adopt this files for german language. The kovsky-qwerty.kl can be edited, but how can the kovsky-qwerty.kcm.bin be edited?

Not sure if it matters or not, but I am using a Telus Motorola Milestone (Canada)

MarketPlace is also an app. Just install it and then you can have it.

That doesn't work. It says "App not installed" when you try installing it. You have to flash it with Gapps like milad407 said.

[Windows Mobile] pinuzzzooo:
Hello guys, i have read in all forum, and i didn't understand if there is a native kernel for polaris. I have just cook a rom with 6.5 native kernel?!?!?(taken from same kitchen in xda for polaris) but i have a memory trouble. In Start\System\Memory, i have the totally memory program set to 100.75, but memory archive is set to 150.35 mb and i think that it's no possible. I have cook with la last ervius kitchen and i have taken the information from this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=669535&page=1, and i cook for 6.5 native kernel...i think...can you give me oemxipkernel native for polaris if esist??
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Your post is really confusing.

1. Do you have a 6.5 native kernel or not? In one sentence you say you don't and are looking for one, and in another, you say that you cooked a rom with a 6.5 native kernel.

2. I don't follow you at all when you say that you've got the memory set to 100 MB in one place and 150 MB in another. Maybe someone else understands.

I don't know if there's a 6.5 kernel for the Polaris. I would doubt that there is, given that it's an older device. If you don't have one, then make sure you set the kitchen to cook for a 6.1 kernel. There is a thread with all of the 6.5 kernels. Just search for it.
[Windows Mobile] pcarvalho:
hi pinuzzzooo,

for starters, there is a kernel for wm6.5...cant point to you where but its around in polaris thread, look for it please...

second you must be talking about ram and flash mem...

ram = memory program...since its 100.75 you are using a patched kernel...so no 3D drivers will work...

memory archive = flash mem, aka phone mem...if you have it at 150.35...my guess is you have xpr compression plus have nothing cooked in or just the min possible...

the only way for you to check if its a wm6.5 kernel is cooking all modules "as is"...if rom boots its native wm6.5 kernel...else...its just wm6.1 or lower...and will get stuck somewhere...

hope now you understand those differences...

cheers
[Windows Mobile] pinuzzzooo:
@Farmer Ted

excuse me, but my english is very bad...however i asked if there is a real native 6.5 kernel for my polaris, because i have found "a native 6.5 kernel for polaris", but i haven't the knowledge for understand if it is real or it is only a fake, so i asked there after that i have trying to cook a rom by myself.

@pcarvalho

thank you for your opinion...All is clear...I have trying it and then i think it's better to post in polaris section for question about the kitchen, or in alternative a moderator could move this thread to right section...

I reserved for later to post the build.log and some question not too clear...Thank you...:D

[G2 and Desire Z General] keinengel:
You should be fine if you're using a goldcard. Mind you, the new RUU (1.72.405.2) has not been confirmed as rootable, use the original one (1.34.405.5). You can find both in the Dev forum.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I don't think you'll need S-OFF because that's an official HTC (signed) ROM. But you'll need SuperCID because I imagine the ROM won't be for your specific model (CID) of phone.

gfree gives you SuperCID, but it can do S-OFF too so you might as well do both at the same time. See the Wiki for the most up-to-date version of the procedure.

Be careful of the issue of flashing an older ROM if you do in fact have S-OFF but just through the engineering bootloader (which will need the gold card method).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Honestly that stuff is just for testing. If you just want to play Angry Birds, buy a real Android device or an iPod Touch. If you're not going to help with the development by testing (IE you just want it to play a game) then what's the point?

Go thru the thread, read, re-read it. Post questions in that thread if you think you can help with the testing. Otherwise it's probably just best to wait until it's committed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kanwal236:
You do know that with 3 million users on XDA, not all of them are developers right? The work that developers do ultimately go to consumers like him, and you can be a little nicer in that regard. Plus, you're telling him to read the whole thread, seriously? That thing has 11,458 replies as I type this, you'd have to be retarded or really obsessed to want to go through the entire thread. Which is why everyone stresses the use of the search function. He does not understand how far the development on this is, so to answer his question in the proper way like you should have:

No, you cannot play angry birds on this, development on the 3d drivers is not far enough along for that and probably will not be for a long time. I recommend you purchasing a true Android phone if you wish to have the full experience of Android. But if you stick along the devs here might eventually get that working too. :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol, I guess I didn't use the operative word 'search' in my post... meh.

Either way, there's no point in helping you to get Angry Birds working on something that's just for testing, that's my point. I realize there's a ton of people on the forums that aren't devs - I'm not a dev, but I still try to help with the development in any way possible.

Begging to play a game doesn't really help anyone. At all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
FYI, you should be using Angry Birds Lite Beta, which is available in other threads. It has much better performance, probably around 20fps.

I've just seen this video Google posted on their facebook showing their Google Maps 5.0 , however, even though the phone was running Gingerbread, I couldn't help but to notice, this phone is very similar to the Vibrant rather than the Nexus S, who agrees this is a Vibrant and not a Nexus S

take it look at:

How round the device is

the lay out of the capacitive keys

lacks room at the top of the screen for the FFC

Actually, even if the chrome is not that noticeable, I still believe the second one is a Vibrant, however, now that you mentioned the Fascinate, the first one is as round as the Fascinate and the 2 of them have Galaxy S capacitive keys layout.. so, perhaps is the Fascinate and the Vibrant...

Then how is this for constructive? It could be a Vibrant because many if not most Vibrants have GPS that work just fine. In fact it is confirmed that if it was made at least in October or later you should not have an issue. If it was made prior to that many still have no issue.
