Hey guys, I've been using Windows Vista 32 bit 86x to do some of my theming work and APK(s) editing and I do not like how Windows is handling all of this. I've got way too much junk spread all over (tools, folders, editing programs, etc) to keep up with all this. I've been reading on Ubuntu and it is the programmer's choice in using to develop apps, themes, and editing APK(s).

I took the tour on Ubuntu and liked a lot of what I saw and thought it was perfect for app development and other stuff. No need to download so many stuff and end up losing track of most of your tools and such.

So, what I did was I did a factory image restore on my Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista 32 bit 86x and got rid of everything and saved important stuff on my external hard drive. Now I'm debating the use of Ubuntu as the sole system operation or installing along-side of Windows.

What would be necessary for me to do? I hate how Windows handles some of my work and don't see how it will benefit me in continuing my android app development and getting started.

I've also ordered a couple books on Android App Development and Java coding on Android platform. I'm in the process of trying to figure out what would be wise for me to do with Ubuntu here.

Any help is much appreciated. I will be using the books to help me step by step in developing app(s). But I'll take any tips that anyone is willing to give insight on!
[Android Software Development] elgubbo:
just for app development i dont think a linux distro is needed.

if you are going into compiling kernels / compiling android sources you might need at least a VM with linux running afaik(but a full installation of a linux distro would be better i guess).
[Android Software Development] smaskell:
Personally, I wouldn't ever be without a windows machine. Ubuntu can do almost everything you'll ever need but you just never know when you might need to use a windows program that is not available for linux. So if your laptop is your only computer, I would dual boot for sure. If you have another windows machine, then I guess it doesn't really matter. But umm.. what exactly is your question anyway?
[Android Software Development] heXacode:
I'm just trying to get a better clarification for using Ubuntu and if it would be more wise to install it along-side Windows Vista (dual boot) or install it as the sole operating system instead of Windows Vista.

I do like Windows Vista for other things but it's been annoying trying to get it to work properly because some tools work better on Linux (Ubuntu).

Also, I had Java SDK, JDK, and latest version of Java on Windows Vista but from other threads or posts I've heard that the Java SDK Manager, along with Eclipse, work a lot better on Ubuntu. But of course there are other mixed reviews from others saying it works better on Windows Vista or Windows 7 (whichever they are using).

I always do research before I go doing something that has the potential of creating regrets (due to errors or not knowing much about this or that) or gets too confusing and become lost in reverting back to the way it was before I did something.

I do have a Windows XP Home Edition desktop (the latest one before Vista came out). Problem is it got the blue screen of death (doing memory dump) and I never really got it to recover from that. I wonder if the desktop Ubuntu disc can write over all that and make it work again, but only as a Ubuntu operating system?
[Android Software Development] Psionfenix:
I've always dual booted. Mostly because the games I play on my laptop are windows games. Keep this in mind, when you partition the drives. Linux can read NTFS/FAT, but windows has issues with ext. So don't worry about making a HUGE partition as ext for ubuntu. (I usually make a folder in windows on my c drive to send files back and forth). If you're using Ubuntu, you might want to look into using WUBI, makes installation a breeze.
[Android Software Development] mismisgh:
it is no big deal at all.

it is better to have ubuntu run on the hardware not in VM.

you can have a dual boot

and install Eclipse and the plug-ins which will provide you will tools for android development.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmerega:
Hi all.

Sometimes, on my rooted Nexus S, I cannot install apps from the market.

I mean: the download starts and, once finished, the installation does not start.

The only thing I can do is to clear /cache folder using root explorer.

Any idea about how to solve?

TIA

I wonder if someone has the same problem on his X10.

Almost everytime when I am charging the phone

through AC

i am not able to use my phone!

It just acts like CRAZY! When you try to slide thorugh the desktops, try to open an app etc. the phone simply does whatever it wants! It opens apps, it slides the notification bar down and all this at a really high speed!

Contacted Sony a month ago about this, but of course NO response on this!

This same thing happened to me with a cheap charger from eBay. Would I be right in guessing you are not using the official charger?

It does not occur with all 3rd party chargers though, I have used others that work perfectly.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Hey thanks for the quick responses! I am using stock firmware 2.1.A.0.435...arc launcher...so nothing special I guess..

My charger is an original sony one...I have another one though so I can use this one and see if its a charger issue..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
Have u tried flashing a new firmware from se with flashtool from the x10 android developement section.

You can also try the se software SEUS on the computer and hit the repair button on the update option.

Both ways will delete all data on phone though. But could make your phones software start fresh

Hey there! I had the problem before I flashed my phone with the flash tool and the latest sony update aswell...

Everything is fine when i charge through PC or Car, so either there is something wrong with the AC charger or....seriusly i dont know...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lghost1213:
Check your charger voltage out put, usually it MUST remain like 3.6-3.7 volts, more than that you gonna have that happend.

last time im try to modify my charger to make it more efficient by using the 3rd party unofficial cheap n lousy charger, and i try it, more than or less than 3.6-7 (if im not mistaken, its a long time ago), then your capacitive screen will sense the leak electric then it just go like ghost finger.

In short, check your charger voltage again, it must be precise in certain amount of voltage, cannot too much or less.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Hi just measured the voltage output and it is 5.20 volts

What Do you thing? I thing its ok since the pc is also giving 5 Volts

display problem while charging (BST-80)

I have got it the same with my X10 mini and my new charger that I bought today - BST-80 (original SE).

My stock SE charger that came out of the box with the phone was EP800 (5V, 850 mA), but it looks to be damamged or defective (some weak noise I can hear going out of there).

This new one BST-80 is 5V, 700 mA. But I do not think that it can have anything related to 700mA vs.850mA (this should be related just to the time of charging from empty to full - 700mA should last longer than 850mA).

Anyway, I am also quite frightened of what it does to my phone. The touch screen looks to behave totally confusing. Once I unplug the charger, everything gets right again. Then I plug in again and the confusion comes again. So weird.

I have never experienced this with my former charger for whole one year of use. Both of them are original SE.

Mate, did it damage your phone in the end or not?? Did you solve anyhow?? Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Hi,yes I "accidentally" used a micro usb Motorola charger ,one that has its cord attached and you can't remove it like the SE ones and I haven't had any issues at all!It seems like it has been a charger problem after all!A real weird one though! I have 3 different chargers and all caused the same problem!I've tried my girlfriends x10mini with my charger and it caused the same problem!

Now I am good with the Motorola one!;-) Hope it will work for you as well!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klon999:
I returned that SE charger back to the shop and waited for another piece, which would not be defective. Anyway, the new piece had the very same issue with the touch-screen. But in the meantime I tried out another micro-USB chargers from that shop - LG and Nokia. They did not have the "touch-screen" issue. But I ended also with Motorola charger, as the best choice of them. This one doesn't seem to have any issue - touch-screen works fine while charging, it doesn't produce the "buzz" sound like some another chargers do, moreover it has also 850 mA, which is the highest current I encountered while trying those chargers (they had only like 550 mA, 700 mA, etc.). So I am quite satisfied in the end. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] jwkj101401:
I am wanting to find out how to solve an issue i am having with facebook sync, I was using bionix 1.3 but decided to change to deodexed kb1. I will provide all info just to help. I have voodoo installed as well, also have used the 6 lockscreen mod by whitehawx. Thats it other than that just stock. With bionix, and other custom roms including cm7, I could select in the facebook app to sync with existing contacts, I like it for the pictures more than anything else. Now the option is gone and with accounts and settings it wants me to choose all or to go through and select each one, which I dont want to do, I have to many contacts for that. I looked though the bionix rom and it uses 3 apk's for account and sync and contacts, where in stock deodexed kb1 has four associated with it. Can someone shed some light on this? I'm not sure if apk is relevant or not. I also have copied build prop over from bionix rom just to try and see if that would make facebook app think i was on different rom and give me the option but that didnt work either. I'm lost :) Not even sure if im anywhere close to ballpark as to what is causing this. I have searched through the forums and all over the web and have seen same issues talked about but no solution, Im aware google disabled this for the nexus s due to facebook not using api correctly but I want it. :)
[Vibrant General] jwkj101401:
no one has any idea, or even experienced the same issue as me?
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Maybe you need to find an older version of the facebook app and use it. Google may have only disabled the contact sync for the nexus s but facebook just recently updated it's program and might have turned them all off in preparation for some new system. Just a thought..

I just recently switched from bionix to kb1 as well..but I just sync all contacts and only display the ones with phone numbers.
[Vibrant General] peecs121:
Are you freezing any apps through Titanium Backup? If you are then defrost them all and then try and sync. I had that same issue and that worked for me.

[Vibrant General] jdm4u:
im having a similar issue. Im running bionix 1.3.1 and during initial set up, i synced my facebook contacts with my google contacts, but after i was done all my facebook contacts disappeared completely. I only have my google contacts. I cant seem to re-add my facebook contacts to sync them together.
[Vibrant General] peecs121:
Do either one of you use Titanium Backup? Is there anything frozen like DRM,etc? If so unfreeze that should solve your issue. Its not the FB app cause I had this problem. Also go onto your contacts and make sure that the fb sync shows up. If not then try reflashing the rom.

[Vibrant General] jdm4u:
I dont have anything frozen on titanium backup. I tried syncing my account again, fb account showed up in contacts, then disappeared again. I deleted the fb account to my contacts list and re-added it and it worked. So I guess to OP, delete/remove the account from your contact list and add it again, see if that works.
[Vibrant General] jwkj101401:
dont have anything frozen with titanium backup, only thing i use it for is to restore apps after flashes never system data or anything else
[Droid X Themes and Apps] swhebert:
Thank you for your great board and programs.

Noobie(3 wks), Droid X, 2.3.34

Current issues(just the facts m'aam)

1.TiBU Pro reported as installed. Shows in App mgr. No icon If uninstalled by phone or marked then reinstalled, same issue

2. Cannot format boot sector(partition?) Error Boot Formating (does it thru Rom Mgr, Clwks, and using GLD's total wipe procedure.

3. Can Ti BU Pro be run off the SD card, so that I would not have to go thru market to pick it up before doing anything else?, ie skip whole VRZ thing.

History

I have been having a lot of fun with Roms and themes. Installed Darkslide, couldn't get it working, next Rubix, worked ok, but never could get themes working over it, so I decided to SBF back to stock to clean out whatever was left over. Got back to working fine stock. Decided to try Liberty. Worked well as Rom but I liked Rubix Foc 2.0 better. Picked up Rom Man at this point(had been working thru bootstraper x rooted with command line procedure) Also, forgot, when I rooted 2nd time after SBF, I tried Do root a couple of times. Didn't feel comfortable with that "keep doing it til it works" mentality, so switched to Z4 Root . Worked flawlessly. Put Rubix back on phone but Liberty splas comes up before the rotating cube which does come up.

Thanks for your help Haven't found any of these issues addressed in any of the Droid forums, but Droid stuff is REALLY scattered, so if you could point me in the right direction if it is old hat I would appreciate it.

Hi,

i was wondering if someone very cool would take pics or vids of the Xoom used in portrait mode. I tried the Honeycomb emulator, but i'ld like to see apps like Gmail, Gtalk, Maps, etc. and the general use of the tablet in this mode (and there's no Honeycomb tablets here in France yet).

Thx !

[Xoom General] quordandis:
Hope this is at all helpful... Attached is a .mv4 file inside a .zip file.
[Xoom General] pierreburel:
Yes it is, thanks !

It seems usuable in this orientation, can't wait to have my hands on Homeycomb...

If you have time to shoot some other apps, like Music and Gallery, maybe the browser, it would be nice :)

Thx again !
[Xoom General] cobraextreme:
I haven't looked at the attachment, but portrait is not unusable at all. I use mine in portrait about half the time. It's great for browsing and Reader, and perfect for books. Gmail is better in landscape, though. It's somewhat app-dependent.
[Xoom General] pierreburel:
Yeah, i think Honeycomb, and particularly the 10.1 widescreen of the Xoom, are meant to be used in landscape. I just wanted to know how it looked like, especilally with two-panes layout like in Gmail and Gtalk.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Same here. If Im reading something, mines in portrait... more specifically, with the top of the xoom to the left, held in my left hand. The rubberized texture of the top seems to help get a good hold and the weight is distributed pretty damn well.
[Xoom General] lanternca:
I'm confused. How can you say it's not usuable at all and then talk about 3 apps you use in portrait (and you use it that way half the time??).

My .02. I prefer landscape obvious, but I do use it in portrait all the time. I take notes in meetings in portrait actually. I write in bullet form for those notes, so I can see a few days worth of notes in portrait, whereas I can only see a few lines in landscape (with the keyboard visible). Other apps, landscape is definitely better. I do wish the case took into account possibly using the xoom in portrait.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamode:
Okay, I have three questions..

1. Live Wallpapers.

Why does my X10 start to stutter whenever i use Live Wallpapers? it works smooth if i just have a normal picture on background but if using a live wallpaper makes it stutter alot in transitions which is pretty annoying.

2. SetCPU

Please recommend what settings to put for SetCPU as i cant understand how to set it up !

3. Themes

How in the world do i install themes? I have CM 6.1.3 (android 2.2) and i downloaded the lucid theme but cant seem to install it. I flashed it using xrecovery but after reboot i see the same old theme with just a few icons changed..

Help !
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
Live wallpaper use a lot of resources so effect phone performance.

Setcpu is really up to u and how u want ur phone to work. I have mine set to on demand 384 minimum. 998 max. And a profile for battery save when screen off.

U have to go to cm settings for the theme and apply it. Then reboot.

I have applied the theme obviously, I just see the icons change and thats it ! :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aval1392:
it really depends on what programs you are running and how many MB your running widgets take up. I suggest a task manager to close out apps you dont want to run to improve performance. Also try deleting many unwanted apps(bloatware) using titanium backup. Should increase performance as well.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Depends, you don't technically are out of date on it. If you wants the latest ROM then you'll have to update the SPL (HBOOT) and radio related to the ROM.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] river-dragon:
For the radio, look for the keywords "2708" or "0013d" in the forum.

About the kernel: newer isn't always better, sometimes they break wifi, eat battery... - my suggestion is, if your kernel works fine then stick with it.
