Develop Bugs

Android (Working... well kinda... )

Hey devs,
So according to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2084090&posted=1#post2084090
It is possible to port the android platform on 7500... And I had though 7200 and 7500 are essentially same except for different carriers... So I was wondering if anybody can find a similar approach installing android on the kaiser...
PROOF of workign: http://ustream.tv/recorded/MCvuInWZtruJojC4h2HqiAUyBKjIDFx4
It didnt work for me when I tried it from SD either... Remember I used AT&T Tilt ROM... i want to hear if this works on other ROMS...
Oh and if it freezes after haret is done loading... then it is probably that u do not have A LOT OF space on ur main memory... So do a clean up and a clean boot up before u run this... remember, we're just emulating it right now... oh and its seems pretty fast after its loaded... of course, I am only judging this by the one thing I can do i.e. bring up the wallpaper setting dialog usign the OK button beside the DPad...

OMG it works...
No buttons.. OK buttons puls up some wallpaper setting.. but it loads in LINUX, terminating WM..
People try it out... You DONT have to flash ur phone to use it... You might have to soft reset it to quit since buttons dont work... ... im trying something to get buttons working...
EDIT: Btw, I am using AT&T Test ROM for now... was just testing it... It might work better with Dutty's ROM... Please let me know if any progress is found ...

You are able to get this to work on the Kaiser? I freeze after the HaRET finished loading. Are you running this from the SD card or from main memory? This is quite a shock to hear of a working android on the kaiser because uptil now there hasn't even been a working liunx version on the kaiser!
Please share with us any details that you think might help us to reproduce this!

So confirmation it works on Kaiser? This vector would be more productive than sitting on our asses waiting for hardware-drivers from HTC/Qualcomm.

Yes, Please, or at least some type of proof or something!

LOL but this is jsut the beginning... This jsut tells us android is capable of running... so when ANDROID is actually released/unofficially released, we can port it on here... Because originally it was thought android wud not run on kaiser...

Proof posted ... now to soft reset to get work done
Oh and update... I tried to instead chnage the script to run a different initrd... one from actual SDK, but that was around 33 MB... and haret.exe complained it can only run images <= 25MB or so... So If anyone can get the latest SDK imaged and get it running... please post instructions...

Im not having any luck with this with Eclispe on Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Anyone else have the sdk running at least? I do, just cant get it to make the image without having dependency issues.

man theres a saying.... look before your leap.
go through the threads just before start flashing things. its being said that this is not a flashable update. its just a system dump. devs will takes files from there and fill up the vacant places in other beta 2.1 roms and make it complete.

i'm gonna see if o can make an update.zip of it, as soon as i can find some time... gotta take care of my hungover gf now

this is why we tried to make it an update.zip first. if you don't know what you are talking about you might wanna consider to check the facts first.

[Q] Couple of newbie questions :)

Phk said:
Greetings fellow Friends from Galaxy
I just moved myself from the HTC Magic section to this one.. It was quite a jump, the Galaxy S Camera and 4inch screen are AWESOME =)
I have a few noob questions that I don't want to spread through many posts, so i've chosen to get them all here, without polution this forum section. Also they might come in handy for future Galaxy S buyers!
My phone is: 2.1-update1 @ I9000XXJF5
Question #1
Well at first glance everyone's trying to fix the "LAG PROBLEM"... I haven't noticed any lag!! What are we talking about? If its a fix.. i want it too
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the lag problem does not accure instantly after startup, it takes a while to do so.
Question #2
The phone came with Android 2.1, but at samsung-firmwares.com and at this dev section of the forum, i saw the JP3 Froyo release. How stable is this? Is it already a daily driver or a total beta? As an Android lover, i'd love to have the latest
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this release is, lets say, alpha quality, however some do use it daily and seems to be stable so far, but the jit is broken, so dont expect it to be faster than eclair
Question #3
I've used the One Click rooting solution and then the ROM Manager Clockwork to boot into clockwork rom and make a full-system backup. In my HTC Magic i had the recovery ROM (Amon_RA) flashed into the internal phone memory, so even if i didn't have a ROM installed, i was ALWAYS able to boot into recovery. That was a safety plus. How can i flash the Clockwork Recovery directly to my phone, without the ROM Manager? I'd feel more secure if i could count on recovery even if, for example, i flashed a non-working system ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can run the clockwork recovery from original recovery by simply running it´s update.zip, this does in fact load the clockwork recovery into memory
Question #4
So what is YOUR favourite ROM? My stock has some unwanted apps, and even worse, it's Eclair. I'd like to switch soon, but i don't know these Galaxy S ROMs Tell me what's the best ROM for you!
Thanks guys, XDA is indeed the #1 place for mobile stuff
Cheers

If JIT is broken, the rest of new 2.2 features can be achieved through Market tools... I'll stick to 2.1 then. By the way, where's a CLEAN 2.1 Rom? this one has lots of service-provider tools... They suck.

Now That's a fix! So i just have to keep my update.zip of Clockwork Rom in INTERNAL SD CARD so that anytime, anywhere, i just have to perform update.zip and the Clockwork will boot ONCE from RAM and them be cleared at next boot, right?

I've seen the fix but i'd like to understand if the bug exists in every kernel, since is a file-system related bug.

I dunno about you but HACKECLAIR surfaced the day I got my phone so I thought it might be destiny, or you know just a co-incidence.

Give it a try, it clears out the stock rubbish and leaves it in a folder on ur sd card to install later if you need it.

Downloading now....

Anybody else having problems getting this to boot? Going to try and redownload and see if that's the issue (although, it goes through the install process with TWRP just fine).
Edit. Just noticed the "ChromeFix". Checking to see if that could be the issue.
Update. Chromefix was not the answer to my problem. Get systemUI and com.android.phone FC's and can't do anything. On to try the freshly downloaded copy.
Update 2: Redownloaded via PC, transferred to SD card via PC/card reader, attempted to install, still a no go. Same results. Anybody know if this is actually flashing a kernel? Wondering if it's due to the adama kernel I had installed.

There's a TWRP released for the GSIII. Aroma worked fine with it for me for installing. . . just gotta get it to boot now.

Why does the phone have AT&T?
Why does the description say "Removed All ATT references"?
Wrong thread?

this is originally based on AT&T version of SGS III it says on the OP then it says T MOBILE support
meaning we can flash this rom as well!!!

[Q] Hyperdrive RLS15 ROM issues....

Ive been working and searching this issue for two days now and still havent come up with anythinng on how to solve this camera issue with this ROM. I have the ATT i747 samsung galaxy s III. Anytime i try to use the camera it says Camera failed. Any suggestions?

same issue
I had the same issue with the ROM, among the pages someone said to update kernel and bootloader but I tried that and still nothing.. I've had the same issue across several ROMs so I know it's something we probably aren't thinking of flashing.. I know this didn't answer your question but just thought I would let you know you aren't the only one.

I used a DL and my cameras worked right after that. Since I'm new to the forum I cant post the link though. It's created by am XDA Recognized Contributor... I am having network connection issues and my WI-FI doesn't work, I don't know if it's because of this or the RLS15 ROM or maybe just a bad SIM. I'm trying to figure it out now. But I found your post and thought I'd throw it out there for you. Am I allowed to message you the link?
