(Calling all devs) Porting a build(s) for continuum!!!

Hey guys!
i am very new at this but i have ported a build from fascinate over to our continuum and am looking for some devs to jump in and start helping me fix stuff.
this is very early but you can grab my first port here.
it is very much not ready for every day use.
Please flash if you are going to help me fix this for everyone
Code:
[B]
Rap sheet of things to fix will be here:
Screen placement overlaps the ticket screen, i was thinking we could
somehow code this thing so it will ignore the ticker
screen and only use the top.
Also we need to enable the soft keys.
Keyboard is non existent.
phone is not functional yet.[/B]

Well since this phone is virtually Unbrickable.... why not try our best.

thanks for the well wishes... anyone know where to go in the rom to edit the screen dimentions yknow so it uses the top screen only? i think this is kernal

yea the problem with ports on the continuum is u cant flash mtd files in recovery a friend and i tried to port the fascinate miui 2.3.2 rom to the continuum we got everything resised and made it flashable but it just said installation aborted. the fascinate can flash mtd files straight from recovery and the continuum can not.
i still have all the files for miui if someone wants them pm me the problem is converting it to a .tar file so we can install via odin.

mtd files? what's those for? the above build was ported from a fascinate rom. very asop

most roms use mtd sum to install everything im not going to go into detail about everything because i would just sound like an idiot lol.

sure, gimme a few and i'll update post 1, last night late i posted it with minimal info then went to bed...

alright here goes nothin im going to see what happens lol

The demensions seem to be within the framework, or at least the call to the kernel for the screen size..
So porting it is pointless, because you'll have to modify the framework back to the continuum's which would defeat the point...
As far as I think/know
That is actually why I stopped
But, feel free to prove/show me up

it does boot but i couldnt even get to settings and about phone to tell what it was and he still hasnt updated the op yet.

Yeah, i know it boots, haha.. I did this like two months ago
But the screen isn't divided properly for the ticker/softkeys... And won't be unless you can find the right part to edit

What language are we talking about? If it's Java I'm happy to help.

From what I have seen, in other posts about other phones, the screen size is written into the kernel. So, to do this, we need the source code for the kernel.
joshkoss: Great effort, but to do any serious mods, we must have the kernel source code. Without that, there is no way to compile the fixes/changes into the kernel. I have been able to use modprobe to do a few things, but, generally, the modules must be compiled against the source code of the kernel to work properly.
If someone can get us the kernel source code, we will be golden... Up until then, porting anything is not going to be fun.
If one was REALLY interested in doing this, one would take the generic Gingerbread kernel and ROM and work a build from the ground up that way. Especially since I don't think Samsung, nor Verizon will be handing out the kernel source code.
There is an off chance that Samsung might give the Continuum kernel source code to a developer AFTER Verizon sunsets this phone... (It's a very remote chance...)
Verizon gave me this number for the Samsung Mobile Helpline: (888) 987-4357. I haven't called them yet, but if enough of us call, someone MIGHT be able to knock something loose... Who knows. Let me know if I can help... This phone is my only phone, so I can't go flashing it every night to try things, but, over the weekend, I can try things.
Ciao!

I agree...collectively we should be capable of anything...even gettn sammy source...sumhow

I for one think y'all can do anything. Y'all have already done so much and I really think y'all are on to something huge!

Put a thread on cyanogen.com asking for assistance with this topic. What do you guys think of doing a donation pool to get a build working on our device?

[Q] S Voice/Vlingo Uninstall and Install Modded Directions Please

I just rooted my phone for the first time and flashed the Frankenstein Ego ROM. I just want to say thank you for the amazing work by everyone here at XDA. You guys are the best!
S voice that comes with the ROM does not work and get a network error. I know that there is a modded version that should work (here if anyone is looking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662358)
I apologize for the noob question, but how do I uninstall the S voice that came with the ROM and Vlingo (I tried Titanium and finding it in the .zip file, but didn't want to play with the latter too much).
Again, thank you for the amazing work. BTW-this ROM is absolutely wonderful.
Please provide step by step directions, I am new to the whole scene.

titanium worked
Never mind. Used titanium to uninstall. The modded version works great!!

For anyone else interested use the S Voice patch v4 on this blog

It looks like there is a v3 is posted on that url.
I examined the script and it's not quite right copying over one of the files that the dev put into that flashable zip. Specifically, there is an etc/permissions folder that isn't being written back to the phone. If the app works, then maybe that file isn't necessary. But if it doesn't someone needs to tell the dev to correct the script and see if it that helps.

It may work the way it is. It wouldn't hurt anything to try it. That was just an observation on my part.
FYI for anyone downloading that flash, it will delete several default files on your phone, including voicetalk.apk and vlingo.apk. If you depend on these apps I thought you would like to know. Please backup your phone prior to flashing this file so you can easily restore everything the way it was.

Updated to v4, thanks man ^

No problem. Like I said, may not even matter but I thought I would point it out in case it was an oversight. Plus I like to see how other people like to code their work and learn from it.

[MOD] CRT Animation for Captivate Glide I927

Big thanks to
kennethpenn - for this wonderful Enable CRT Animation in Gingerbread guide
CarpeNoctem - for (OsiMood's) update-binary and install-script reference material
Brut.all - for apktool
blast0id - for easyFLASHABLEzipBUILDER
and of course everyone who put in the work to build the foundations on which all of this is built and everyone else I'm forgetting
Without further ado, here is the
CRT Animation for Captivate Glide I927
Here is the install zip for CWM - automatic install
i927-CRT-mod.zip​
Here is the framework-res.apk - manual install, use a root file manager to copy to /system/framework/
framework-res.zip​
Warning: This is made for the ATT stock rom. It may work on the Rogers rom as well. It may not work on a custom rom, if possible you should find the framework-res.apk specific to your rom, ask the rom creator to make one, or make your own using the guide and resources listed above. To be safe, always make a backup using CWM before installing ANY mod. It only takes a few minutes and can save you hours in the long run.
Disclaimer: Use at your own risk I'm not responsible if you brick your phone, yadda yadda. I have only tested this on an ATT 2.3.6 stock rom with ardatdat kernel. So far it seems to work great and looks awesome. There is a weird effect that if the screen is off and I push the power in for just the perfect number of milliseconds, the screen starts to turn on and then turns itself off again. But I have difficulty trying to get this to happen on purpose so I doubt it will prove much of an issue. It's probably just a quirk of having the CRT animation enabled. Anyway, all of that said,
Enjoy!
UPDATE:
Here are the uninstall files for the ATT 2.3.6 stock rom. All warning and disclaimers above also apply to these so always make a CWM backup first.
Here is the uninstall zip for CWM (reinstalls stock file) - automatic uninstall
i927-CRT-mod-removal.zip​
Here is the stock framework-res.apk - manual install, use a root file manager to copy to /system/framework/
framework-res(stock).zip​

Really? Well, where the heck did ya post it? I searched through the dev and general forum before I made this one. I found a couple request/discussion threads but no attachments that appeared to be confirmed working. Trust me, I'm lazy, I wouldn't have made it otherwise.
And yeah, I know it's old news but it still amuses me.

Ah well that kind of explains it. I was looking for a thread specific to CRT animation. I did suspect that some of the custom roms would already have it enabled but I wanted to give the stock run a good run for the money before trying any custom roms. Also, having the info in the middle of a custom rom thread doesn't make it very accessible. This thread was geared more towards people with stock roms who wanted an easy, confirmed way of enabling the animation.
Also, I have all signatures turned off in this forum because so many of them were large and intrusive that they were really hurting the readability (imo) of the site.

FYI, this particular mod was not taken from his rom. It was created from the framework-res.apk in my own stock ATT rom and altered using the guide and resources mentioned in the first thread. So while he gets credit for doing it first, none of his work was used in the creation of this mod. (Edit: That I know of. Apologies if I'm mistaken. I'm not trying to rip off anyone's work or belittle anyone's contributions.)

It's fantastic, thanks man.

Didn´t worked for me and now the power button just don´t work anymore. Any hints to uninstall it? I flashed the zip. Ozimood Rom.

Um, reflash? See here for CRT made by dman (confirmed working)

Flashed dman crt but i think my system was corrupted, stucked on bootloop. Done recovery now i´ll try dman.

Sorry about that, this is made specifically for the stock rom. If you have custom rom, you should get the framework-res.apk specific to that rom, as the rom creator may have made other changes as well. I'll edit the first post to make it more clear that this is for the stock rom.

Restored Osimood and flashed crt.zip... no luck.

All the install zip does is copy that one file to your system directory. I think it's absolutely impossible to hard brick from that. Don't you have a CWM backup you can restore?

Damn. I was going to mention this but I was waiting to get enough posts to post in this forum. xD
Neither of the CRT On or CRT Off links work on this end.
So thanks a ton transce080. ^_^
Could you possibly add a CRT On as well? I know there's a guide in the Captivate Glide thread that Aquethys linked to but it'd be nice to have just have a flashable method.

[MOD][SlimBean 7.5] 45 Steps Volume mod for fine-tuning media volume

for now, SlimBean version 7.5 only
45 Steps Volume Mod
1. Download this framework.jar and paste into /system/framework/ using a file manager with root access (e.g. ES File explorer, root explorer, etc)
2. Make sure permissions are set to rw-r-r
3. Reboot
Enjoy!

Out of curiosity, do you have the source of what you changed, and what exactly was changed before the framework.jar was compiled?
I wouldn't recommend installing an unknown compiled replacement for the framework.jar without understanding what exactly was changed and how, especially as it may impact other functions of the rom depending on what exactly was changed. Also this mod might not work after 7.5 as there's going to be a major framework change in the next week(lies).

I'll create a new one when a new version of SlimBean releases if people want it.

I'm curious if the framework.jar differs from device to device (I'm not an android developer so it's not within the scope of my knowledge). Because personally I haven't had a sound volume problem with Mako/N4... now the Nexus 7 on the other hand, gotta crank that baby up +12 decibels in DSPManager just to sound loud enough.
It's of course one of the reasons I asked about source, because if it's something minor here or there and just re-compiled for a specific, that would be easier to deployed in my opinion.

Here's the tutorial I followed.

Know what would be really handy, if you know how to do it.
An Aroma installer (like I did for my sd-ext/dataswap enabler in my sig).
Basically package two versions of the framework.jar, modified and unmodified. Flashing the zip in recovery will ask if you want to apply the mod, or uninstall the mod, and replace the framework.jar with what you want (or alternatively two zips for apply and restore).

Youre right. I thought about it and concluded I'm not handy enough to create a flashable zip let alone an Aroma installer like the Beanstalk rom guy did in the Android Development forums. I'm thinking it that it may be possible to just do it all via flashable scripts for EVERY rom instead of just slimbean 7.5 but then again, I don't have any training with code. I'm now thinking my mod doesn't deserve a thread of its own lol (especially if people don't trust random files - and they rightfully shouldn't). But, nice looking out!

Technically mods are supposed to have a thread of their own, rather than just tagged in a rom thread.
That way anyone who has questions or issues can discuss them in the thread specific to that mod
Besides, a thread of it's own makes it seem a bit more um... legitimate.

[RECOVERY] TWRP 3.1.1-0 Unofficial

I got bored, so I decided to build the latest TWRP. Big thanks to @negamann303 for his source. I only made minor, mostly theme related, tweaks to it. The only non-theme related tweak that I can remember is that I enabled the flag that enables taking advantage of NEON, so that might result in some speed increases, but I haven't done any tests to confirm that.
Q: Sweet! Does ADB backup work?
A: No. Sorry. If you know how to make it work, please let me know and I will implement it.
Q: Oh. So this is basically the same as the previous version?
A: Pretty much. I imagine it supports a whole bunch of new things that our watch isn't capable of, but who cares. It also features the nag screen that asks if you want to install the official TWRP app, which is useless in this case. You can tell it to stop though.
Q:So why should I bother with this?
A: Because you're a flashaholic that needs to have the latest and greatest thing. Duh.

Sources are posted in the OP. Help yourself. I don't know much about TWRP theming, but I do know that the files you want to modify are found in device/huawei/sturgeon/watch_mdpi. This is the folder that was modified by @negamann303, and by myself to a lesser extent, to get the theme that you see in the version that I built. There is also a watch_mdpi folder in the TWRP source somewhere that contains the default watch theme. TWRP is also capable of themes that can be applied post-build so you don't have to build a new one every time you want it to look different, but I don't know anything about how to make that happen. Search XDA for flashable TWRP themes for examples, but make sure they're for 3.1.0. The theme template has changed a bit from previous versions. Hope that helps!

I forgot it was even there, so I wasn't looking into it. Once you disable it the first time, it's gone for good unless you wipe the device. Let me know if you figure out how to get rid of it though. I'm surprised there isn't just a flag to enable.

Thx, worked as expected and the good thing is : sideload don't must be fall back to the old protocol
