Develop Bugs

Gingerbread source kernel available from HTC today

7.29.11
Sorry if its a late pass, but the source kernels for the gingerbread update for a whole slew of new HTC phones, including the incredible 2 are available today from the HTC website.
This allows developers to get cracking on a root method for the 2.3 update right?

I'd be happy for an oc sense kernel as well. All the aosp roms are too buggy for me. But uv and better schedulers would make sense even more perfect and better battery life.

Can't wait for some developers to put out custom sense kernels! This phone is about to smoke.

I just want root on 2.3.

Forget WiFi tether. I just want to be able to use Titanium Backup so I can restore my apps data from my previous phone. Debloating would be nice, but this is my first HTC phone, so I have plenty of exploring around Sense to do in the meantime. Really missing Root Explorer as well

Have to wonder if this has anything to do with the "Revolutionary" news from Unrevoked & AlphaRev TBA.....

Any Reason To Root?

Can anyone give me some inspiration into rooting my new shinny GN i have rooted every other devive ive had i.e G1 Nexus One SGS I9000 xperia Play and HTC hero,
But i cant find a good enough reason to do it with this device, but everyday i feel that i need to i dont know if im just because im used to having something new to flash everyday?

I feel the same way. The stock ICS seems to be a lot faster than the MCR's at the moment - not sure why.
The only reason to root is to get things such as Ad Free, Full Backups, Underclock CPU when screen off, Apply Paul's UI tweaks.
Obviously things will grow in the future. If you do it now, then you dont risk the chance of losing the ability to in the future (doubtful that will ever happen with a Nexus)

Here's a much better question OP... Any reason to not root it?

The big ones for me are AdFree and Titanium Backup.

To improve battery life.

This is the first Android OS where it seem so much useable and stable, that I see no use to root. This coming from a primarily IOS guy. I hope I don't have to root.

Is it possible to connect a PS3 controller and play games with current devices today? If yes, could you point me to the application

I will only root if a kernel with ridiculous battery life surfaces. Otherwise this may be the first Android phone I really see no reason rooting. Strange thought.

If you are here, you should root. Ad free and Titanium back up are worth it by themselves.

AdFree is pretty silly IMO. Blocking connections using the host file? Really? I guess the creators don't know what a firewall is or how to use iptables.

Dual Booting with our Phone

is it possible? i have done some research and the only app i can find that does this does not support our phones. Boot manager pro is the name of it and the other one i found only supports the overseas SG2. I would like to mess with other roms but just hate having to flash back and forth.

I wish I could be of some help because I am very interested in the same. I have also searched for a way. Grub4android?? lol. Now that would be great!!

Someone claimed to have dual boot working along with a working cm9 awhile ago ...

You should try an app called switchMe from the market its free and seems to work with our phone I can not say that much about the app yet I have not tried it out yet but I think it should work

Lol thats whqt i posted on their thead not to get specific

Thanks for all the replays. so i am assuming there is no dual booting for our phones as of yet. also i have not been able to get switchme to work either it just reboots into the same main profile... i dont know if the latest update supports our phone though. last i read it doesnt.

The Guys here made it to Triple Boot and we can't even get Dual

Thanx thats really cool. looks like its not a high priority for our phones. its cool though. ICS is way more important anyways. the reason i want dual is to test out the alpha build for ICS.

You can nandroid ... then flash then restore ... won't take that long like 5 mins

just wondering when you nand backup does that backup all the apps,messages, contacts, login info , etc.... or only the current rom wiped?

yes it backs up everything.

When you restore a nandroid are you also restoring the kernel and rom?
Or does it just restore your apps/data?
For instance -- Can I nandroid, wipe, flash blazer rom and then restore and have all my data + apps on Blazer?
Sorry for the noob question!

anybody try switchme
I can Download it but I haven't tried it yet

Android 4.4

I'm sure most of you have heard by now that kitkat has been released and it comes with support for older devices, such as the One V. I really wanted to talk about what we are all thinking: Will we get Android 4.4? I'm by no means a developer, im just curious as to how the community would go about bringing kitkat and would it actually be a possibility.
P.S. I do know that HTC wouldn't bother trying to push the update to us so that's pretty much off the table

I hope so. I've for a hov sitting in a drawer still perfectly good. Would be nice to have something to play with while I wait for development on the n5 to get started.

Because he's talking about GSM. And the CDMA people are mostly active in their separate developer forum not a lot of them seem to come into general so if we talk about something being possible or not at this moment it's almost certainly about GSM.

For kernel we can ask maxwen ???

even with a working kernel..4.1 and 4.2 run poorly on this device..hell so does out of the box 4.0 sense for that matter..and people are clamoring for 4.4?? a lot of reasons why i wouldnt even bother installing it even if it were available.

For what it's worth, Google claims 4.4 is optimized to run well on devices with 0.5 GB of RAM, unlike versions 4.0-4.3 which all but required 1 GB of RAM.
I'm not saying it's possible or that it would make the phone any more responsive, but it might be a more logical development target than 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3.

[Q] your opinion counts

umm hi
i wanna buy this tablet for my girlfriend
but before handing it over i want to give it a touch
which kernel,rom,apps do you suggest?
should i root it?should i change rom or something?
and i also want to buy an stylus,is it ok?any suggestion there?
thank you for your time my good friends

and i am obviously not familiar with any kind of lg product or kernel or anything
i have a rooted note on a costume rom ( if you wanna know about my experience)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Its pretty easy to root the thing. Here is what i would do:
Root
Install twrp 2.7 recovery
make a backup so you have it exactly like it came out of the box other than root.
Then you have about 3 choices for roms
Mahdi-Rom 2.5 4.4
LRS G Pad][v1.2.0 4.2.2 +BOB kernel
CYANOGENMOD 11 LINARO/SABERMOD 4.4
Ive used all 3 and settled on LINARO/SABERMOD. It seemed the easiest to setup, didnt have a huge amount of stuff installed (i cant use/stand pie controls) and it was easy to setup for tap on/off.

what is the point in changing the rom?i mean the installed one has a problem?
other than that what apps do you suggest,or maybe a launcher!

No need for a custom rom, the stock one is fine. I would root it and maybe install a custom recovery, but that's completely optional, plus adding a custom recovery has the disadvantage that it complicates things when you want to do an OTA update.
Some people prefer an alternate launcher, e.g. Nova.
But really, you don't need to do anything but add some apps.

Hello..
First let me say, any standard stylus will do just fine.. I would pick one that is your Girlfriends Favorite Color.. :good:
Personally.. If I were in your position knowing what I know about "Stock ROM's" vs "What's Available" to give her tablet *A Touch*..
The only Custom ROM I would install for her is the Mahdi-ROM.. It's 100% Stable ( The Most Important Thing ) and it's very Fluid and Fast.
Other than that, I would leave it completely stock since the Official 4.4.2 KitKat Update will most likely arrive in the next 60 days.
