This isn't a request about getting the Honeycomb on the G-Tab, so lighten up, Francis.

My question is more about the source code for Android 3.0 and how Google goes about releasing that to the public. I don't really understand their processes in developing a new OS and releasing it for the world to use.

Do they typically only provide it to hardware developers like Motorola, then after a period of time give it to anyone else that wants it?
[G Tablet General] TeutonicWolf:
When they post it, it will be available to anyone to download...

http://source.android.com/index.html
[G Tablet General] lostpilot28:
Sooo, my question was more about the processes they go through to get to that point. I know it'll be on the source code page "when it's ready"...but I'm looking for maybe an overview of what it is that they're doing from a business perspective to get it to the masses.
[G Tablet General] gingerberry:
anyone call me francis, and I'll kill ya...
[G Tablet General] lostpilot28:
LOL. Any of you guys touch my stuff...and I'll kill ya.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
How about Ginger?
[G Tablet General] ThinkerT:
I just want you guys to know, when Honeycomb development starts, I'll be right behind you every step of the way. :)

On a more serious note, here's their explanation of their release process:

"What is involved in releasing the source code for a new Android version?

Releasing the source code for a new version of the Android platform is a significant process. First, the software gets built into a system image for a device, and put through various forms of certification, including government regulatory certification for the regions the phones will be deployed. It also goes through operator testing. This is an important phase of the process, since it helps shake out a lot of software bugs.

Once the release is approved by the regulators and operators, the manufacturer begins mass producing devices, and we turn to releasing the source code.

Simultaneous to mass production the Google team kicks off several efforts to prepare the open source release. These efforts include final API changes and documentation (to reflect any changes that were made during qualification testing, for example), preparing an SDK for the new version, and launching the platform compatibility information.

Also included is a final legal sign-off to release the code into open source. Just as open source contributors are required to sign a Contributors License Agreement attesting to their IP ownership of their contribution, Google too must verify that it is clear to make contributions.

Starting at the time mass production begins, the software release process usually takes around a month, which often roughly places source code releases around the same time that the devices reach users."

http://source.android.com/faqs.html

So it sounds like they go through the regulatory and operator process, then release it to the manufacturers while at the same time going through their own preparations. But it's a different process, which is why manufacturers can end up releasing their products before the source code is made available to the public.

I've been missing the notification enhancements from Galaxy S too. Hell, I miss the media player the most! T___T

If you're not too attached to the "pure google experience" (vanilla android 2.3.3) then Cyanogen Mod nightly build is your best bet to get these goodies.
[Nexus S General] amjad_2020:
yes but Cyanogen Mod nightly is not good as the Samsung ...
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
O.o In what universe? CyanogenMod adds the power controls in the dropdown, a lot more custimizations, not to mention the ability to theme to your hearts content. What is "better" about touchwiz? The codecs? Just get a different media player, there are tons available.

There is a very good reason the first thing people beg for on any new device is CM...

Now THAT is a good reason. I withdraw my previous comment and do accept my apologies.

[General Questions and Answers] vtings:
After I installed the latest official stock 3.12 Rom (Hong Kong Chinese), I don't like it and I want to switch it to some other roms. (I actually wanted to try getting the English language template, I entered the HTC official webpage, selected HK English, but the file I download was still CHT and not WWE... donno why...)

Now, I can't flash roms by using the SD card method.

After renaming my favourite RUU_signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh at my SD card, when I bootload, it saids "00028002" NOT ALLOW

Then the 3-colour bootload screen comes out with the followings:-

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-3.03.0000 XE

Mirco P(LED) 0x05

Micro P(Touch) 0x50

I then try to do a task 29, hoping to format the phone completely, but task 29 also fails. I downloaded a task 29 w/o MTTY, runs it, but it halts at 0% and won't move.

I want to know what's going on. I am stuck with the official HK Chinese stock rom which is so uncool. I am used to English language template, and I want to have the freedom to flash something else in the future...

Would you experts give me some advise?

Tons of thanks!! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grimfusion:
I have an old HP2495b and I've reformatted it several times, upgrading to WM6.1 and WM6.5. Neither have left my device "responsive" and/or usable. While WM5 allows my PDA to run larger applications like coreplayer, it's not exactly stable. I'm consistently getting application boot freeze and little issues here and there which require hard reset.

I'm looking for a minimalistic WM5 ROM compatible with the HP hx2495b or hx2XXX series which is either hacked for stability or minimalism, but I still need to keep bluetooth and 802.11b compatibility. I'd even kick around the idea of using linux on the device if I could find a compatible distro.

Unfortunately, it seems "the scene" has moved on from WM5 because the only ROM edits I can find are upgrades to wm6.1 and wm6.5. Any solutions?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
I created a book from a PDF using Calibre. The book works fine in that program, but I can't seem to figure out how to get Google Books on my XOOM to find it. For that matter, I can't even find the books that are already loaded when I browse the folders on my computer. I created a folder called Books and dropped it in there, but there isn't a way to browse the XOOM file folders from Google Books to find it.

How would I go about making this work?

Thanks!

Why not use Aldiko?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Yaotl:
Aldiko seems to have problems with the margins since it's unable to get rid of the notification bar. Fbreader works okay, but it doesn't work with font formatting.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jackxlj:
use the nook app, it works perfect
[Xoom Themes and Apps] msalem:
You can fix the margin issue in Aldiko and it works great after that. I would still like to find where the Google Book app stores books just like so many other people here but until then Aldiko works just fine.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] tinpusher:
It stores the books here Data/Data/com.google.android.apps.books/

But I dont know what format its in, or how to convert an ebook into that format.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Nook app works great, except for a few things.

It force closes randomly when switching screens, but never really closes. lol

It keeps forcing portrait mode for some screens, which is frustrating.

It's just not as pretty as the Google Books app!

But it did the trick, I suppose.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] msalem:
I can see the /data (I'm using Astro file manager to browse) folder but mine is empty eventhough I have pinned one of the books already and chose to make it available offline so I can find it. Is there anything else I need to do to see /data/data? What format are the books in?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Yaotl:
How? If I put the margins under 50, the top line gets cut off at the top. I'd rather put it edge to edge.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] msalem:
I use 70 for margin and 16 font size

I'd strongly recommend Coolreader (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.coolreader). it gives you lot more options to customize the reading experience
[Xoom Themes and Apps] tormsbee:
Can not load your own books with Google Books

Just an FYI. Google books does not offer the feature to add your own books. You have to use another e-reader app. I like Aldiko, because you and can add your Adobe digital editions to it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B73C:
I've been using Aldiko for a few years now and love it. I've never had a problem with it using my own Calibre and eCub books on several different devices.

However, I've been looking for another app that will sync my bookmark so that I can continue to read on another device from where I left off on my previous device. I have a CM7 Nook that I read in bed, but would like to read the same book during the day from my G2 and then carry on that night on the Nook again.

I've heard Aldiko is looking into this, while Kindle and Nook 'already' have this. My problem is that I've never been able to sideload using either app. I suspect this was a 'feature' in earlier versions but I haven't been able to do it using the latest versions.

I'd love to see Google Books allow sideloading and will standby for that (or Aldiko), whichever comes first and really does work!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] karnovaran:
The top line cuts off in Aldiko for me too. This was very disappointing, as I really enjoyed the app on my phones.

Moon+ Reader seems to show epubs properly and it has a good night mode, so that's my reader for now. Hopefully Aldiko optimizes for Honeycomb soon.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rlrbjr:
I use Aldiko and kindle on my phone. But on the Xoom I have been using kindle and Nook. I had no problem sideloading all of my epubs into Nook. Nook does a much nicer job than Aldiko on the Xoom, especially in landscape.

That's just the nature of a PDF - it's static. Zooming is all you can do.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] B73C:
This does not work for me on my rooted CM7 RC4 Nook...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Yaotl:
it takes a while before the nook app recognizes the ebooks. might have to exit and retry.

the last aldiko update fixed the margins on the xoom. much nicer, but I'm still getting consistent FCs when opening a book from a shortcut on the home screen. Every other time I click the icon it will FC but be fine the next time.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] madsquabbles:
FBreader and FBSync on rooted android devices will hook you up there. you'll need root on both devices.

it'll sync last read pages and sync books via dropbox so any books you load on one will be synced to all.

best app ever.

Hi All,

Since i have problems with the performance of my Archos 70IT 250gb, i was curious to see if other people have the same issues.

I've searched the forums and found as well various problems, but as well people who seemed to be happy with this tablet.

What are my problems?

- At first everything smooth for like an hour after that device just locks up

- Stuttering after running some applications

- Bad performance in applications (stuttering)

I've tried to keep the device running without any changes

I've tried to only use setcpu to overclock to 1.2ghz

I've tried to only use a swap file

I've tried to use a swapfile and the overclock to 1.2ghz

I've tried to use only a taskkiller

I've tried to use a taskiller and a swapfile and an overclock to 1.2ghz

I've tried to use a Stagefright build.prop with swapfile and an overclock to 1.2ghz.

But doesn't mater what i do it after a while just everything locks up.

I've done multiple resets/full firmware reinstallations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please do tell if your device is running good, what your setup is.

What applications you use to keep it running good and what you have changed to the default build, also state your firmware version.

Thanks in advance, i hope to learn something from it and i think other people will benefit from this as well!

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhnt11:
2.3 brought tons of framework changes. I bet HTC would've made plenty of changes to their framework because of this. Since htc apps are heavily dependant on the HTC framework files, I doubt this would work.

IMO 2.3 has enough of a graphical overhaul from froyo to be better than sense. I personally don't find any functionality in HTC apps which I can't have in cm7, but maybe that's just me.

I've been flashing back and forth between cm6 and cm7 and having all kinds of weird issues. The first time through I went from cm6 to cm7 RC1 and upgraded the radio based on the advice of a friend to Radio 5.08.00.04 found here. I had crazy battery life issues even after completely wiping the device, the sd card, and running zero apps. I rolled back to cm6 and had continued battery issues. I then rolled the radio back to Radio 4.06.00.12_7 which seemed to possibly have resolved the battery issues but when using cm6 I started having issues with the alarm and some other stuff.

I have decided to try the most recent cm7 nightly but I need to know if this requires a radio upgrade. If it does, should I be using the 5.08 radio again or should I be using the 5.12 radio?

I live in the US and am running an AT&T Nexus 1. I am using amon ra recovery.

edit: It appears the 5.12 radio link on the wiki is broken. If it ends up that I should be using it, could someone also provide a valid link if you have it? Thanks.

My Boot will not boot no matter what I do. I encountered this issue after flashing to phiremod v4, which worked beautifully until I decided to free up some storage space on my SD card and format it through the Nook. The next time I tried to boot, I got the dreaded black screen.

I've burned Clockwork Recovery (4gb v .7) onto the SD card and copied the Nook Color V1.1.0_r2 rom (found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932145). From there, I formatted the data, system, and cache, then installed the rom from the SD card. Everything went through smoothly, until I rebooted the Nook (with the SD card out). Nothing happens! The Nook simply will not reboot without the SD card inserted. Even if it boots (with the SD card) it just sends me back to Clockwork Recovery.

I also tried recovering the Nook through ADB (using the steps found here http://mrm3.net/2011/01/24/113/). I install everything, but I cannot locate the ADB device in the device manager. I've even used the .bat file to auto installs ADB, but it is still not found in the device manager.

[Nook Color General] lordbannon:
Fairly certain I read about a bug with formatting the SD card on the NC, that it would format the internal memory instead. I would imagine you will need to flash a new image to the internal memory (should be stock image floating around here somewhere).
[Nook Color General] eNkrypt:
No worries, you are most likely NOT bricked. There are hundreds of posts about people thinking they bricked their device.

First thing is first, IF YOU READ THE POST IT SPECIFICALLY STATES

DO NOT FORMAT THE SDCARD USING THE NOOK AS IT WIPES THE /BOOT

My suggestion to you is do some research on XDA there are PLENTY of posts about "unbricking" your device.

I have only seen 1 nook be bricked, and it was hardly bricked because it could be booted from an SDCard.

Try following the instructions here to return back to the stock OS:

I should mention that I also tried samuelhalff's first method to no avail. Any other ideas?
[Nook Color General] eNkrypt:
So you CAN boot from an SDCard correct? Only way to boot again is to flash the boot file...
[Nook Color General] thadeus_d3:
Yes, I can boot (to Clockwork Recovery) if the SD card is inserted and the power cord is inserted and I hold the power button for 10 seconds. If I install a rom from the SD card, doesn't it flash the boot file? If not, how do I flash the boot file?
