Just curious if it were possible to view the build server status like CM's Jenkins....?

Currently, no - tbh I'd like to change this as there's useful info there such as why a build failed. It makes sense for this to be public since someone other than a maintainer might see it and gerrit a fix.

OK guys I'm so sick of this issue. Basically from my research there are thousands upon thousands of people with Android devices who go to university, or work in an office that uses a WiFi connection with wpa-enterprise or whatever and they can't use the net because there's no f**king proxy settings on Android. SO, this thread is meant to CLEARLY explain how to get proxy settings and hence use the net at uni and in the office or whatever. Calm down, I'm about to make life much easier
First of all there is no stock rom that lets you do this on a Legend (at the moment) so the only way to get the settings is for you to root your phone. Now there's like a thousand guides on how to do this but the best one I've found is this. Anyways!
Next thing you have to do if pick a rom to run which has the proxy settings. Now I might add here that everything I'm saying from now on pretty much is for the Legend only ie the roms I mention and.. yeah. So the best rom to use at the moment in my opinion is CyanogenMod which you can find in Legend Development. It's perfect really. Feel free to try other roms but generally they need to be froyo based and you can check if you can do all this proxy stuff straight away by checking the wireless and networks section in the settings area of your phone. If there is a proxy settings section then yeah you can do it.
So yeah, once you're on one of these roms check that you actually have "proxy settings" in the wireless and networks section of your phone, which I might add only lets you use the internet via a browser ONLY. The next thing you need to do is install an app called "transparent proxy" which you can find here. This app lets you use apps via a proxy as well as the browser and thus giving you FULL internet access (use version 2.04 or higher). Another app I've heard that is meant to work as well is called "orbot" which you can find on the market.
If you do a google search you'll see issue 1273 which is all about this proxy issue and its been going on for over 2 years now. I dunno what google's problem is.. but at least thanks to some people it IS in fact possible to get the internet working via proxy on wifi.. you just gotta go to a bit of effort, well I know I did to figure all this ^ out.
Remember if you have anything to add or correct let me know, cheers.
Cool thread, really useful. But:

The other ROM which I'm sure works is CyanogenMod but beware, this one is a little outdated and I don't think its being updated anymore..

How wrong can you be. Both Azure and Indigo Bean are based on CyanogenMod (versions 6 and 5.0.8 respectively). Version 6.1 of CM is under heavy development, and it will replace Azure as it's the first version to officially support the Legend. There are nightly builds of CM for our phones, so every day something changes. It's about as actively developed on as Android itself.
Also, what did you write your post in? Why are there so many line breaks?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh no no mate you misunderstood, sorry I see now I wasn't clear enough. I didn't mean CyanogenMod in general was outdated and not being updated anymore. I meant that one in the roms section "[ROM] CyanogenMod 6.0.0-RC2 for HTC Legend" by kyosa. Sorry, I'll fix that up in the main post. And yeah what I've done is just pressed enter a lot to make the paragraphs look like that.. I kinda didn't know how to make a big essay readable so I just did that. I don't think it worked haha, let me adjust it. I'll try and eventually make it looks like a lot of the other guides when I get some more info and more response.
It would have been so easy for the thread title to be misleading, so I tried not to do that.
So, I know that Samsung posts their source on opensource.samsung.com, and from there, I usually type in "D700" to see if they've posted anything new for our Epics (like the latest kernel source)..
I also have this link: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=reception_list&menu_item=mobile that is just a running list of their mobile related open source stuff.
Now for the question: Does anyone know of a way, maybe through an rss reader?, to monitor the site for something like 'changes to page including "D700".?
I've done this before in google reader and with Google Alerts, but the way their site is set up makes it more difficult.
Hopefully this thread does better than this one..or this one as, I have a knack for wondering interesting topics.
Sorry, I do not have the complete answer. When you search on that site, the results page appears to be at http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=reception_search&searchValue=D700
Perhaps you could have something check that URL for changes, especially for the number of lines in the table.
Just a thought..

I have one setup for HTC Website - i get an email usually minutes after something changes.
Its not impossible..BUT they always released the source code after they officially released it to the public..usually a day or so...so you would know when source is available in advanced...
or are you hoping for a glitch in their system where they make the code accidently available? lol

I'm surprised that's offered for free, seems like it would take considerable resources to run (especially if changes really do get noted that quickly).

Not really..you can read the headers first for changes..the header is a few bytes long...then if you see a change in the header you load the site..and you don't load all the images...just the text portion which averages like 10kb or so (but most sites use gzip so its even less)...in comparison video streaming is 100000x more bandwidth intensive..
Good stuff. Thx peeps. These all blow my old method out of the water: ctrl + R , ctrl + F ..

if by "hoping," you mean "feverishly obsessing," then, yes.
This just reminded me of a related question:
With some forums, I can copy the URL (say, Epic 4G Development section), paste into Google Reader, which would hopefully populate with updates to the specific section. However, with XDA and Google Reader, doing gives me EVERY update from xda.. which defeats the purpose. it seems like all of the forums/threads are parallel.
Anyone know of a way to do this?
That's one of the things i miss about sdx..
Hi guys,
I'm developing an app for a blog and wanted to implement pinch-tozoom on the image viewer but still support the app all the way back since 1.6.
In such a manner I was developing everyinthg in 1.6, and the moment I went to implement the pinch-to-zoom I changed to 2.1 and included the code that selects if API > 5 hide the ZoomControls and process pinch-to-zoom, else show zoom controls and do not process pinch-to-zoom.
My problem is that my manifest MinSDK is 4 and Eclipse keeps giving me the warning: Attribute minSdkVersion (4) is lower than the project target API level (7)
How do I fix that? what is the correct way to support multiple APIs?
thanks!
I believe this is a warning you should just ignore. If you right click it, and do delete, does it go away?
it does go away, but as soon as the app re-builts it comes back again.
yes, it is just a warning, it does compile and installs... but it's just weird, there should be away for the compiler to understand that I'm using multiple versions...
maybe submit as a bug to google?
It's not a bug, just ignore it. It's just warning you that you need to do things like not use code from the new SDK unless you've checked the user's SDK_INT
But you're already doing that so just ignore it.
well... I wish there was a way to better surround this, but Ok, I'll keep an eye on it.
Maybe I'll even comment out that part, finish the development on 1.6 and then re-enable it... just to be sure!
thanks!
Isnt that set in your manifest? what SDK version is set there?

yes it is.
Min SDK 4 and Target SDK 7
but Eclipse still gives me warnings about it... I'll just have to live with it.
thanks.
ps.: if some forum moderator sees this and fancy closing the thread I guess it's ok.
It'd be helpful if the uploaders of the NookHD/HD+ KitKat nightlies could include a small description as to what's been fixed or what's different. I know it may be small fixes and or tedious to write them every time but it'd still be cool to see the changes made Like a few days ago how location services was fixed!
You know that nightlies are built automatically, right?
Changelogs are generated automatically as well: cmxlog.com/11/ovation/
(Sorry, as a new user I can't post clickable links yet)

Well, I feel kinda dumb now
Hi,
Stock ROMs aren't really trustworthy by default (e.g., phandroid.com/2014/11/06/carrier-iq-settlement).
Some manufacturers' devices aren't really trustworthy, even with stock ROMs removed (e.g., theepochtimes.com/n3/830922-chinas-xiaomi-smartphones-may-be-spying-on-you).
Cyanogenmod went donwhill:
We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, location, and the time zone where your product or device is used so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising.

(from cyngn.com/legal/privacy-policy) They started on this path long ago, but I won’t go there now.
I would like to buy a new Android phone. I won’t have national secrets on it, but I still don't want any Google-style spying. Assuming I don't add GApps, is OmniROM a good choice for me? Does it respect the privacy of its users? Does it contain any components that would ever connect anywhere to trunsmit any information like GApps do. Obivously, I'm not talking about user initiated events.
One more thing, does it have a permission manager? Ideally, something that allows the user to choose for each permission for each apps whether real, fake or blank data is shared, but a bit cleaner than XPrivacy.
Thanks!
Just for the record, you can remove CM-specific apps and block their servers in your device's hosts file. It takes literally 5 minutes and it's pretty good after that.

Thanks, good to know.
Yes, OmniROM does not include proprietary tracking software unlike cyanogenmod.
Personally if OmniROM does not support your device, I suggest using cyanogenmod + freecyngn (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550769).

Yes. It has "apps permissions". Open the app info of an app and click on apps permissions. There you can disallow access.
