[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgwebster:
I have been reading up incessantly since getting my streak a little over a week ago. I have also previously flashed my OH's HD2 (Leo) from Winmo 6.5 to froyo but that was a little simpler in its routine.

I have found a number of rather useful how-to's covering various subjects related to parts of the process and read general guides that often miss out more in-depth detail at other important points (important in my opinion).

Ultimately Android is suffering (again, IMO) from the same problem as any Linux system - details are fragmented, forum threads get bloated with making it hard to get the important info (e.g. 138+ pages to read through) or the other example was expanding the internal SD card which similarly has people making the process easy but the posts make it hard to follow unless you already have some knowledge on what is going on.

I will be making it a project to pull together a guide that provides a summary detail (for those in the know) and an in depth guide and assistance. Lastly a FAQ appendix of issues and resolutions would make it a superb thing. I will warn though, I have commitments already that absorb most of my time, so dont expect to see this guide coming out in the next week!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haxxa:
Hey guys if anyone is still interested the steps on first page worked brilliantly. Further more afterwards I went back to stock because after flashing the performance mod for stock the streak goes very fast anyway. If anyone wants I'll make a video showing how to do it all. And include all the files to make it as easy as possible.

But just so you know after rooting I installed steakmod then flashed the performance update. Then I used Titanium Backup to get rid of all the stock apps I don't want (dell sync, kindle...) and backup apps. Afterward downloaded setcpu and overclocked it about 200mhz. Made it even more faster. Put some custom bios (boot up pictures) on for looks. Installed Gingerbread taskbar again for looks. Installed Galaxy tab email client (because I can). Finally because my streak came with the 318 Baseband I could do a nandroid backup.

That took a little over 45 minitues but putting everything together took an hour on its own so yes it is fragmented. Stats: Baseband 318, Stock froyo and black internation version. Really now that i've done it if anyone needs help just ask... Thanks

[Nexus One General] howan:
Can anyone upload the maps.apk on FRG83D for me? I got the OTA but failed to update since I altered the one in system/app after I apply the FRG83D months before. I tried the one from FRG83 but I still got through same error, it seems that the FRG83D did make some changes to the maps.apk. The worse case would be flashing the FRG83 and patch D and G.

Thanks in advance!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shithead:
Hi everyone,

I bought an unlocked Desire HD, but I guess it's from German Vodafone.

Everything works fine etc, but I guess I rely on Vodafone for the latest update, isn't it?

I want to remove the carrier (Vodafone) stuff from my device. Is it possible to flash the original HTC (no carrier stuff) Rom on my device and also get the latest OTA from HTC, when it's available?

I searched via the forums already, but couldn't find a proper answer.

So I hope someone can help me :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
if you do a search on how to make a goldcard, once you have done that, you can just flash a generic htc ruu :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Yes, although you may have to create a gold card first, also you don't say what your Firmware version is, but full instructions can be found here
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shithead:
Sorry, I'm on 1.39, fully rooted and Radio S-OFF & ENG S-OFF

Thanks for the help :) gonna search the gold card thingie :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shithead:
I went to Clockwork Recovery and selected "Select zip & update".

When it opens the zip it says: "Can't open the zip (bad)" and abort the whole thing.

I wanted to try a stock 1.32 rom, don't know what I'm doing wrong :-s
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
You do not do it in clockworkmod, but in bootloader. Just put the PD98IMG.zip to your SD card and reboot to bootloader. It will ask you automatically whether you want to flash.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shithead:
OH i see :D

Thanks :) it worked ^^
[Wildfire General] h4oxer:
Hi guys,

I have never flashed my HTC wildfire's radio before , I am currently on 13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31 , I know this is a real old one. I am runnig CM 7 nightly build 4 I guess , should I flash my radio ? Do you guys think it's worth the risk?

And is the risk big that I will brick my phone ? If i would upgrade my radio it would be this one : Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 ... Please help me out here guys!

Greetz
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Just make sure your battery is charged, and, dont remove the battery or interrupt the flashing process in any way. You should be covered then.
[Wildfire General] h4oxer:
is it worth it , to upgrade the radio?
[Wildfire General] Hairyazzy:
I read that sometime a new radio will drain the battery faster because they traded a bit of the battery life for a better connectivity. it may depend on the radio.

I don't know if it is possible to know what has changed in each new radio
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
The changelogs are not present for any radio. but, as said, the new radio is more powerful in terms of signal catching ability, GPS lockon etc. However, this has a drain on battery life as more power is required.

Personally, if you are satisfied with the telephony / GPS performance, I wouldnt flash another radio. I am on the same radio as you are, (15.31) and, dont have a reason to get the latest one. (I dont use GPS at all)
[Wildfire General] Hairyazzy:
Yes I think that if you don't really need the new radio, do not flash it (because of the small chance of bricking you phone is something goes wrong)
[Wildfire General] h4oxer:
Okay thanks a lot guys, I'm not going to flash it untill some ROM like CM ever requires it..

Greetz!

Pls help

I wrongly format my device in the recovery mode, and now only reboot in the recovery mode

What can I do

When I choose update firmware, it said updated fail

pls help
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifTeD_JK:
I believe you need to download the firmware from a PC and place it on your archos and then you be able to run it through recovery. I've nit done this myself but that's what I've heard.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z06mike:
Yes.

What you do is:

1. Download the firmware from the Archos website.

2. Plug your tablet into the computer.

3. It should show up as a drive on your computer. Copy the firmware to the drive (your Archos).

4. Push OK, and you're done!

I've done this numerous times, it's very

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lilstevie:
I have been working on getting ubuntu running natively with the netbook gui (unity) on the galaxy tab (7" touch display at this resolution is ideal). Kernel and filesystem are almost complete, but I need one last piece of the puzzle, if anyone has the galaxy tab hardware keyboard and know how to flash a kernel with heimdall could they join irc.droid-life.com/#modadroid-galaxy-tablet and catch my attention (lilstevie there too)

Here is a screenshot of netbook-launcher-efl running on the tab

Ubuntu Desktop 2D

LXDE

e17 Illume-home (phone/tablet)

EDIT1: Ubuntu is now booting into a shell more coming soon :)

EDIT2: screen shot :)

EDIT3: added 2 extra screenshots

EDIT4: updated name to follow new rules.

Coming soon is a CDMA kernel and Images
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lilstevie:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MartanCJ:
Great news mate! Hope there will be dualboot optinion for Android and Ubuntu :-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] edzilla:
Anything any of us can do? I know my way around linux, I can code a bit. I can host anything, too :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayman07:
completely missed that line lol.

@OP

video of it working please!....when theres actually a GUI :P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lilstevie:
well at the moment I am trying to sort out some kind of interactivity (shouldnt be too much work, just playing around with the back and forth with fs images, 2GB takes a while to push to the device

video of it working will arrive once i have interactivity :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lilstevie:
Dualbooting isn't much of an option at the moment, unless with some bootloader hacks we can separate boot modes to boot the boot partition with no keypress or recovery position with keypress, as at the moment it just triggers a different init script in the initramfs, ubuntu has some differences at a kernel level
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DeiphoneaAndroid:
Great job !!!!!

Dual boot . . . What a dream :-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lardman:
I'm going to have a look at this today for my Meego install, the Android init isn't passed anything by the kernel so it must look at some /dev or /sys entry to work out whether a recovery boot was requested.

I've certainly had no real problems replacing the Android init with an init script and exec'ing the renamed Android init from that to get a normal boot, the question is now how to make it useful by reading the bootstate.

As an aside, I see you were asking about the keyboard, I'm also interested in this as I have the same issue as you - i get a login prompt but can't login. I was thinking that getting a usb keyboard to work would be nice, but otherwise I'll have to make sure I bring the network up and either start adb or insmod an ethernet gadget driver (assuming such a thing will work with the Samsung patches).

Anyway keep up the good work :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lilstevie:
sounds like you are stuck in a similar position to me, any driver that is not the samsung android eth gadget does not want to compile for me, the path that i am taking is trying to get the wlan module loaded and using a script to associate it to my wifi network.

On another note started working on fbdev black screen, but something none the less

wow

not at all bothered about dual boot on this project..

im absolutely excited about ubuntu working as a native os though, that would be amazing, if its anything like 'Dcordes' ( '@htc_linux' ) build for the HD2 this will be a real winner for the Tab, all the phone functions need to work too like texts and gsm, i guess if HD2 can do it then Tab can too..

looking forward to the projects future :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] funkychunky:
I can host if you like :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lardman:
What have you done so far?

Off the top of my head you need to stick the mtev.so input module in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ and make sure you set the appropriate odds and sods in e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf - those are the bits I need to document on the wiki page.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Elvoski:
I have done that, but it is locking up at setting up xulrunner.. is there a way to install drivers afterwards if i left the xorg out?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Ye, build a minimal image using rootstock. Then chroot in and install X and all the gubbins that comes with it, and copy the files needed to their locations by mounting your SD card on your PC.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
my build also hung up at xulrunner...

can anyone upload an image with working GUI or explain what needs to be done after chrooting?

thx
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
I would, but I haven't worked it out myself. I got it booting with X, but the touchscreen didn't work. I can only assume I installed the driver wrong, so any further guidance would be appreciated.

I will say that KDE doesn't use xulrunner, so if you don't like Gnome/are not fussed about it then use KDE SC instead. However, there's no button to bring up an onscreen keyboard in KDM, I'm prolly gonna enable auto login though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Cal-El:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] itsjusttim:
If you guys are still taking ideas on how to handle the hover, right and left click I have an idea..

I have a touchscreen windows 7 laptop and I think the way they handle it makes sense and is easy to get use to. Hover is 1 click. Left is double click and right click is long press.

Seems kinda logical and works very well. What do you guys think?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DemonGloom:
And what happens if you need double-click?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] itsjusttim:
what would be an operation in which i would need double click? i will try it right now and see what happens
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
On anything other than KDE, opening a folder requires a double click
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DemonGloom:
Using shortcut from desktop :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] itsjusttim:
Still uses double click
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dra6onfire:
Sorry im jumping in the middle here but whats wrong with the standard single tap -single left click, double tap - double left click, and long press - right click?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pille69:
hello

i am really impassioned about that project. i cant wait - like many others here.

some questions

1. will work the samsung keyboard on it ?

2. is there an option to sync with outlook (opensync called it i think)

3. is there an option for a much smaller resolution ? and smaller fonts ???

4. which navi software could be installed ?

5. i think it will run all software like on ubuntu too ??

6. is the whole google **** not included anymore ??

please keep going

and if you are finish please do not forget the donate button - I WILL ;-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] syntex123:
It will be able to send sms / mms and call / videocall, right? :) basic phonefunctions, if you know what I mean;) and maybe the market, need some games on it too, though^^

But it will be awesome! Can't wait to see some more screens/vids of it in action! and some on screen keyboard would be great. good job guys.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gyroing:
which market are you intrested in to use on ubuntu os? ebay or android market :-D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] itsjusttim:
Also will all the android apps work with it?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
NO ANDROID APPS, and I doubt that it will make phone calls and sms and things... i dont event think that it will be capable of 3G
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] itsjusttim:
Oh ok.. At that point dual boot would probably be best for average user.

Standard tab operation, use apps and all that.

Ubuntu operation when you want more desktop/netbook type programs and usage.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pille69:
what is than the benefice of that project ?????

that i have a pointless igaypad ??????

can the developer confirm the argument ???

if yes, it pretty much useless for me and i guess for many others as well.

i could life with no games or 1 mil apps (where the most are useless like if i piss in the ocean) but i could not life without phone function
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -Mr. X-:
its not even close to an "igaypad" :rolleyes: it will be more like a functional tablet on a laptop/netbook os. depending on your application 100x more powerful then android or the apple ios.

Or in your case since you dont understand what it may be useful for and think it would bee a ipad.... 100x less useful in your application.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pille69:
So Mr X - than please explain to me why somebody on these planet will spend 800 dollar for a tablet/netbook. and if you are on the subject please explain to me why somebody have a phone (fully phone function and gps) to use it as pdf reader or email client for network sync. and yes - i dont understand these 2 points. if i want a solution which you are talking about i go and buy a chinese tab without any phone functions
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lambstone:
That is because a chinese tab isn't powerful for running ubuntu. Its like, why not buy a mac when you can run hackintosh on a pc. Because there is a need to run the respective native apps.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Justin^Tan:
i think mac run on pc just fine. as i recall if i'm not mistaken, there's a laptop back then that can make a call, so as long as you have the hardware, software wouldnt be an issue?

before i get my MSI, i surf along the other brand, and on dell (australia) they offer 3g connectivity on their laptop, so i think it's possible to have 3g if we have the appropriate driver/software

it would be amazing if we can have ubuntu on our tab and have the phone functionality as well ^^

of course i'm no dev , so its just IMO
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Unimaginative:
I might be missing something here, but as Tab owners haven't we indeed paid that for a tablet?

Because maybe some of us have a phone as well, so aren't relying on their Tab for communication, and as such are interested in the exploring the possibilities open to them with the Tab. I'd prefer to have the functionality and choose to temporarily not use it than not have it.

Honestly, I personally find the idea of using the Tab as a phone ridiculous, but that's my opinion and I respect that others will think differently.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -RioT-:
The thread clearly says ubuntu on galaxy tab, not android and not a phone.

If you dont want it leave.

If you want android apps. Keep android.

If you want a phone just leave it as is.

A lot of work is going into this, so please respect it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AlexTheStampede:
Nothing against the project (awesome!) but... Do you guys realize it won't run almost any software? First those need to be compiled for arm and that might not be trivial.

Once ready it will have a slow start.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayman07:
Can the modified image u guys are using be used to make it run using vnc? A little off topic since your trying to make this run natively. since dual booting isn't an option at this point, running vnc with your custom/modified package might make this great. Thoughts?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pille69:
dont get me wrong - i respect the work and the project. i just want to know that the benefice will be (if i would see some i may contribute to it)

the galaxy tab is a phone and a tab. what these project do is cut one lag off. i (and i guess many others more) bought it because its a tab (reader, gamepad, music) and a communication panel.

which OS is on it - i really dont care - it needs to work - ALL FUNCTIONS.

like i have written earlier - i could but for much less money some other tab/subnotebook with out these functions if i dont want these function - no offense please.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DemonGloom:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] edzilla:
There is already a lot of software available form the repos on ARM.

If you feel this is not what you want, then by all means don't use it, but please, don't ***** about something that you:

- Don't understand

- are not contributing to

Like all projects on XDA, the authors are not forcing anyone to use it.

For my part, I don't understand how you could use the galaxy tab as a phone, it's way too big for this, yet do you see me breaking your balls about it?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
Actually, I love the fact that the tab has phone capabilities. I don't use it as a primary phone, but have my nexus one set up to forward to it if I don't answer within x seconds. This has proven to be very useful when the tab is in the car mount. Best hands free phone device I've ever used. This usage is in my top 5 reasons why this form factor is the most useful for tablets, and back on topic - installing things like Ubuntu is in my top 5 reasons why Android is awesome. Not something I'd particularly want, but will support every effort to do it. To misquote Kennedy - we choose to install Ubuntu and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard :).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AlexTheStampede:
Really? Well that's a good start, then :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -RioT-:
Im in the army. Some times I use my sim in my tab cause of all the waiting around. You should see how mad people get when I pull out my over sized phone thats blasting my metal cover of O'fortuna (therion). Just angry for no reason. lol.

But really this thing has much potential. A good little ubuntu tab would be awesome. I would gladly give up the phone function to try it.

BTW, any word on the powervr kernel module?
