I have an interesting problem.
I wanted to install clockwork mod 400MB partition and then CM7 rom on my HD2. I followed all the instructions carefully and tried multiple times, even i posted questions regarding clockwork mod on this forum. but nothing helped. I was using laptop with 64bit windows 7 on it.
At last i used my friend's pc which has 32bit windows 7 on it and followed the same instructions, same methods, and it worked.
Anybody has any idea about this problem??? Does 32bit and 64bit make any difference or i just got lucky?
Please help as I will not be able to use my friend's pc forever.
Thanks in advance....
64-bit drivers difference? There is a lot of problems flashing phones in 64-bit. And not only Android phones...

Where did you get that info? Do you have a link?
I'm using Windows 7 x64 (Professional and Ultimate) and they both work fine for me... on my Mac, that is
Sincerely,
Mac
@jalshah05:
I don't know it's a way. Try looking for x64 word on forum (not only HD2 - all Windows Mobile forums should be good) - sometimes it's just drivers/update (of Windows Mobile /or however ActiveSync is named in 7/).
And be sure to have Administrator rights!
@Macelangelo77:
No link in hand. But belive me - I flashed a lot of WinMo, Android, Symbian and (1) Maemo (N900 ). I read lot of posts saying: "I did everything like in tutorial but it doesn't work! I have Windows (XP/Vista) x64". There is just a lot of incompatibilites between x32 and x64 version of Windows (specially in XP)...

"[Q] Droid 2 Users using 32-bit(x86) or 64-bit?"
I'm trying to develop something that will help droid2 users but I need to know whether most people use a 32-bit OS or have a 64-bit OS. This way I can help the most people by starting on the one with the most users. Thanks for your input.
This is for any OS Windows or Mac or Linux.
MODERATOR: Please Close and Remove This Thread, Thanks!
If you have a 64bit you can run x86 so why not just make that version. <-- Windows at least
Anyways, I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I thought about starting with that but because I'm running a 64-bit OS aswell I have to make the 32-bit product on a 32-bit OS so I'd have to do tweak it a little bit and was hoping most people were using 64-bit.
that makes sense.
32 bit is always the safest route to take because of the backwards compatibility of 64 bit OS with 32 bit executables. You are going to have to make that call though. If you want to reach the most people though, I would say 32 bit.

Can you shed some light on what you are creating? I am interested in this project. I can also host it for you if needed.
lol it has to do with linux and that's all I'll put out right now but I'll update as soon as I get further into it. This was going to be my test post because I want to start making it I just needed so guidance as to where to start.
That would be awesome if you could host (I'm new to dev stuff and was gonna ask for some help getting it out there).
not a problem. just let me know when you need it. I am currently working on acquiring a new domain so that it will host droid2 files and we can grow this section of the forums because the Droid 2 is lacking in the dev department lol
I'm new to d2 but facelessuser makes a good point. I'm intrigued...

This is just a heads up post
I'm almost done making a custom ubuntu 10.04.1.iso with adb and the sbf_flash script for linux install this will allow anyone to flash their phone in linux as it's a live cd and will be booted from the disk tray for a single session. No windows driver problems or RSDlite errors.
(it's in x86 if you were wondering; which was the main reason it's not already posted.)
Hi, If I'm setting up Linux for Android dev should I use the 32bit or 64 bit version? I read somewhere that if I want to dev for Froyo it's 32 bit if I want GB or higher use 64bit. If I use 64bit can I still do Froyo stuff as well or am I only limited to building for Froyo? I'm finally getting into the world of linux after being a winblows programmer for years. So if there is any other place you guys know with a lot of good info on the topic of getting started please let me know. I already found http://source.android.com/source/download.html
I went through setting everything up but I did it on a 32 bit install of Ubuntu. Is it advised that I have 64 installed instead of 32? I got up to the point to make a make but it gave me some error about being on a 32 bit machine and only being able to build for froyo, that's when I thought maybe I should have installed the 64 bit version on ubuntu
You're best off using 64bit. With 64 you can work on anything.

Ok Thanks Option! Sorry about posting in the wrong place. I wasnt sure if it went here or in the Dev forum so thanks for moving it for me to the correct place
Is this the best place to go as a guide?

Hi there, I was just wondering if it was possible to slim down the installation image of Windows Developer Preview? I'm in need of installing it to a 16GB SSD so it's going to be quite a squeeze. For Windows 7 I could use Vlite, but I'm guessing this is not the same with Windows 8, any more.
Is there a similar utility for Windows Developer Preview yet like Vlite?
Thanks!
i don't thinks so it will be possible

You can use the Windows 8 ADK which can be downloaded from M$'s site.
or....
You can use the windows 7 GImageX v2 to mount the wim, edit, and apply. I plan on testing the images in vlite and RT7lite. I will report my findings here as I thought I was the only one interested.

Will post results
I am also interested in this since I plan to install this on USB thumb drive.
Use WinReducer its for Windows 8,and you can slim it farther by using Vlite but Vlite is harder to use and you can mess up your iso.With WinReducer you don't have to worry about messing up.

Is there Windows XP 64 driver support for the Hiemdall frontend utility? The zdiag.exe has no WinUSB driver for XP64 but it does for Win7 x64.
This is regarding a Samsung Galaxy Tab SPH-P100.
:/ Guessing thats a no. Lame.
Xp x64 has horabke tools for making drivers for it I doubt they will make one sry

Well actually, have u tried searching on how to replace Android os with bodhi?, u could also say the same for the 13.04 Ubuntu desktop as well.... That is of u know how to change the repos, update and fix errors. Arch Linux is another option... Been trying to get that one to work but nothing happens correctly smh

i understand there is a difference between arm and x86 architecture but is there anyway to install for example lubuntu or lxle on grouper.
Also there is support for installing all ubuntus befor 13.04 so if i download lubuntu 12.04 is it going to work since it is based on ubuntu?!?
