[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Please, forgive my ignorance here, but I'm new to Android after coming from WM, and I have some gaps in understanding that I'm hoping maybe you guys could help to fill in.

Given the so-called "open" nature of Android, I'm a bit puzzled why it seems so difficult to get the latest versions of Android running on our phones. If the SDK and resources are freely available and the basic drivers, etc. are a part of the ROMs themselves, why is it so difficult to just update the core of the OS to Gingerbread, for example?

I would have assumed it would have been simpler than it appears to be and Google touts it as being simple, so what am I missing? What's the stumbling block? :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Android 2.3 was released very recently, developers are hard at work at it.

Sometimes, it is not always up to Google. As of right now, the Vibrant has access to various 2.2 leaks... HOWEVER! the kernels for vibrant has not been open-sourced. So this limits development (OC, UV and so on). The I9000 kernel source is available, but they drain battery for vibrant users and its not worth using these kernels (in my opinion).

For users without rooting, you can blame the manufacturer and/or carrier for the delays.

Pure Google: Google -> Update

Manufacturer: Manufacturer ports Android on top of their skin (HTC Sense, TouchWiz, Motoblur, and so on) -> Carrier (Adds bloat; removes features e.g. tethering, etc) -> Update
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
The latest leak (to date) is JL5 which contains 2.2 but not 2.2.1? Is that correct?

I've seen some builds floating around with the designation XXJPX and I don't know if XX in this case is a blank place holder, or if it signifies a series number later (alphabetically) than JL5, even so, J comes before P last I checked, so is XXJPX a later leaked build than the JL5?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
I believe JPX is the I9000 ROM
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Ah, yes, I think so.

So, the JL5 is 2.2 but not 2.2.1?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
JL5 is 2.2

We have no official 2.2, and no leak of 2.2.1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
That's an example. I can't understand.

Is it that there are so many significant or major changes to the OS between 2.2 and 2.2.1 which would make it so difficult to shoe-horn into a cooked ROM for the vibrant based on JL5?

I had this picture of Android in my mind of being a developers paradise/playground from listening to Google's PR team. Not so, I guess.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
Two words:

Platform fragmentation.

If Google did what most of us wished they would do and unilaterally told carriers to make updates on time and to stop skinning Android, we might not be in this situation...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I was under the impression that Google was making (de)fragmentation a priority. As it stands, it really does seem that Android is in danger of becoming another Windows Mobile 6.5.x

I was trying to escape that by selling my HD2.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] down8:
Skinning isn't really a fragmentation issue. I don't know of any OEM skins that keep ppl from running anything off the Market.

Fragmentation, as used in regard to Android, is the gap between 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, and now 2.3, in performance and compatibility with things developers code. Meaning they can't make a single APK run on all these fragmented code-bases. Think Win95, WinNT, WinXP, WinVista, etc., but all being released within 2 years, instead of spread out over a decade and a half.

-bZj
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
For the end user, the skins do seem to have a big impact, such as in the case of Samsung, who skins Android with TouchWiz and drags its feet on releasing updates as a result. Same thing happen with HTC and Sense. Sony is much worse.

They could, of course, just leave the UI alone and let the pure Android goodness flow (or hire enough people to get the job done on time if they want to skin, which I'd actually prefer, since some of those innovations really do improve the UI) but all this does seem to impact user experience, since those updates don't get to the phones in a timely manner... at least not like Google had told us they would.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
It's always ALWAYS your carrier.

Froyo was released many months ago and stock Android phones, like Nexus 1, got it almost immediately. Gingerbread comes with Nexus S and Nexus 1 is getting it very soon, if it wasn't on Nexus 1 already.

So if fast official OS updates are your main concerns, I suggest you getting a stock Android phone.

To create contact at sim card take a look at com.android.internal.telephony.IccProvider (Android sources) But keep in mind that in my tests stock HTC Phone app doesn't reflect changes made via this provider.
[Android Software Development] georgeyeung:
copy a number to sim card, do you mean copy the phone number to sim card and then reboot?
[Android Software Development] Pottkopp:
how can i import the whole android sources into eclipse? because some needed files such as "ServiceManager.java" are missing..

yes I want to reboot either whole phone or just the phone process.. depends on how complicated restarting the phone process is ;)
[Android Software Development] rwxer:
Heh, I thought we're talking about interesting things, not about eclipse setup. No advice because I don't use it.

IccProvider is like a general data provider so typical usage is:

ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();

ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();

cv.put("tag", tag);

cv.put("number", number);

cr.insert("content://icc/adn", cv);
[Android Software Development] rwxer:
And I think you don't need to reboot a phone all you need is to force sim card rereading, try to switch off/on a radio, main phone app will reread sim card.
[Android Software Development] Pottkopp:
I finally solved all those problems above ;) one more thing I'd like to know is how to get the process id of an app like "com.android.phone"

big thanks for all your help till now! (:

it's not a bug with the firmware exactly, but rather the Messaging app. So if you download another sms app the problem will be solved. Im using Go SMS right now and no missed notifications yet. Just dont forget to disable notifications with HTC's app if you plan on getting another from the market, or you'll get 2 notifications for some messages ;)

I've tried a hard reset but it didn't do anything, it's still not charging. Is there any help or should I just take it in to get looked at?

[G Tablet General] dragonfly1113:
So got my g tablet for christmas and as you have known i've been following this forum for a few weeks getting myself ready for this tablet it updated to the newest UI and now i cant seem to get clockwork installed on it, I tried even rooting it first with the z4root and still having issues with loading clockwork on it, i downloaded version that was recommended in the forum 8 and than extracted the files to the root of the sd card and now when i power it down and back up and press the power and the volume up button it goes to the typical box with the arrow in it coming out and than just boots up never loads up clockwork on the device.

the other issue im having is getting the market going the market fix is supposed to be to stop the market from running and the google services but when i go to settings and applications theres no manage application section in the new update to 3889 or whatever the version is, right now im running launcher pro so i got the vanilla android look just need the market working and to get the tnt lite or the vegan installed on it and obviously cant without clockwork, i've tried searching today and remember all the threads i've read before and for some reason i still cant seem to figure out what the issue is. i thought it would be as easy as rooting my droid but i guess i was wrong.

thanks for any advice you can offer up, other than not getting what i want to load on it so far its pretty damn good other than missing the market other than this gmarket that comes with it and not having a custom rom running yet.

I followed all the steps from the Wiki: (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD).

Now the problem is when I go to verify the root. On the Wiki, where it says run "su' in computer ADB shell, I get access denied. When I run "./gfree_verify" in computer ADB shell, I get

Error: Could not open modem device; /dev/****

Error: Verify could not initialize device

But in my apps on the G2 I see an icon for superuser permissions. So did the root take or not?

Thanks for any help, new to Android.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacaronyMax:
Go in to terminal on your phone and type SU

After pressing enter if it says permissions denied, you have no root, if a Su message pops up click allow... that means you have root :D

Edit: I think you have no root :confused: :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootloopedMillennials:
After typing Su in the terminal on the phone, I get a message pop that says either allow or deny. I click allow and it gives me root permission.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganii:
Then it`s OK!

After reboot/or try again,open terminal emulator on your phone and type "su".

If you get a superuser prompt, you have root!

After "su" you should see a line with "#".
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootloopedMillennials:
After a reboot (two actually) after I enter su into terminal I dont get the popup anymore asking allow or deny. I get "#." I actually went through the whole rooting Wiki steps again, to root the phone (just cause I wasn't sure if I was rooted). Same results, the gfree-verfiy doesnt work and neither does the "older" method. But I get "#" after entering su in terminal on G2.

I also installed Rom Manager, I clicked Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and then chose Backup Current ROM. It asked for superuser permissions and I allowed it. It rebooted the phone and went to a ClockworkMod Recovery screen where I selected reboot device. Does this mean I backed up my current Tmobile ROM?

Another question, is it okay to delete the files I had to push to /data/local to root? How would I delete them?

I want to really thank you guys for all the help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
# sign means your rooted or have su access.

Go under manage and restore backups in rom manager, you should have a copy of the rom you just backed up. Unless you renamed the back up its probably a date.

Its ok to delete the files you pushed to data/local use a file manager like root explorer.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganii:
You get "#" then it`s right,the app don`t ask you again about allow or deny!

About gfree-verify,I don`t know.Maybe something wrong with Script

or you have done something wrong with the commands!

If you choose "Backup ROM" you phone boot into Recovery,then you have

to choose "backup/restore option to backup you current ROM.

Otherwise you don`t have a backup ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootloopedMillennials:
Again thanks guys.

Now i downloaded Astro and ES file Managers but I cant find the files. Do I need specifically need root manager? Im guessing the ones I downloaded cant access root files.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
I use Root Explorer or SUFBS (Super User File Manager and Terminal).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
You should really have posted up in the existing thread about gfree on this, or otherwise in the Q&A forum ;)

But anyway, yes, those file managers don't handle root. Well, ES does have an option to do so, but it doesn't work on the Vision. So you'll need a root-capable file manager, as joemm said.

On the backup, that sounds a bit odd, but you'll know that it's doing a backup because it'll take a while. You'll get a different screen where it shows you it's backup up the main phone partitions, and even which file is being backed up. When it's done, make sure you copy this backup somewhere else, like your PC (i.e. so you don't just have a single copy, in case something happens to it - e.g. corrupt SD card).
