[Q] android on main storage and roms?

hey guys,
i have a lot of questions...
i tried android on my hd a lot of times....
the first times it worked finde but the latest roms are all crashed after a while
after deep sleep they are all freezing...
so the first question, is it an issue of my rom i´m using?
which one are you using for android? especially the devs which one are you using to try youre andrid?
i think its the best way if evertybody is using the same one to find out whick´h errors are comin from the windows rom or from android?
okay next question...
why is it not possible to install the cab on the main storage of the hd? a lot of errors are issued by the slow spped of the sd card? in my opinion it would fix a lot of probs if we can install android on the main storage, it would imrpove speed and saves sd card?
i´m not a dev so i don´t know if there is any possibility or not, its just a question for my understanding
i´m really looking forward to see a android rom for he hd bur i know its hard work for our devs here...
maybe we can make a bonus, everybody who wants a rom for android will pay 10 euros or dollar in jackpot and the guy who make a rom working will win the pot ;-)
thanxs for your answers and sorry for that bad german english
best wishes from germany
tom

is there really nobody who lnwos any answers?

it's just useless to reply because it has already been explained 10.000 times all over. If you at least 'd take the time to read

where is it explained which rom each dev is using? is ther any thread? if yes pls show me, cause i read a lot of time here.
and where is exaxtly written why we definitly canßt use the mainstorage?

We still need windows to initialize a lot of the hardware before launching android, for the moment.
At the moment, we cannot figure out the way to initialize it before booting android, this is why there's no android ROM ready.
Besides, there's still a lot more urgent/important things to do before (Deep sleep causing crashes, HW3D not working on Blackstone, and battery life, for example)

It's explain, countless time.
READ
then read again.
It's in the virtually all the main FAQ's.
AND this isn't a f**king ROM... THAT is explained in the FAQ's too.

oh i think you got me wrong. i don't want to install it like a rom. my questiin was about installing the cab on the mainstorage instead of the sd card. cause the reading time of the sd will be the biggest ussue which makes android slow and will causetbe problem of the waiting for... problems.

Please, there's no need to be rude, even if those questions were already asked and answered countless time, you're just losing your own time.

For the moment, we don't have access to the mainstorage from android, only the sdcard, if I remember correctly.

Alright people!
I am the developer of the SenseHERO rom for the HTC Hero (http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698281). I have recently obtained a HTC Touch HD so I will begin developing for you when I get some spare time.
Has anybody yet been successfully in getting tinboot working from NAND yet? If not then I may have to get my hands dirty and see what I can achieve just for experimental purposes obviously with the full awareness that alot of work will be needed to get hardware properly initialized.
If we get stuck the best person to get info for this would be DZO who made android from NAND a reality for the Vogue/Kaiser who are now running it on their Devices as stable & fast as the Native Android Phones..

I have an iconia a501 with a sim card for 3g... it seems all the a500 roms have crippled telephony/apn settings etc. Id rather not get around with a great big bulbous dongle hanging out the side of my a501 waiting to get smashed to bits on a door frame as I'm walking through lol.
We clumsy people need internal 3g. Thats precisely why Acer made a501's (which unfortunately only come with android 3.0.1 which only supports keyboard through usb).. was kinda hoping i could upgrade rom for mouse/dongle/controller support through the usb, and maybe overclocking ability to atleast 1.2ghz, and not loose my internal sim card 3g support... guess I'm a little ahead of myself and the xda developers... the curse of being on the bleeding edge of technology i guess.
EDIT: btw i have no problems at all with beta testing etc if anyone is working on one, I am also a fairly accomplished pixel pusher if that person wanted help theming it.

The topic should be "not a single android 3.1 iconia 501 rom with 3g working?".
We have working 3g modems but the rom is different than yours and so far only one 3.01 rom has feen made for the 501 model.

That is QUITE a different thing than what one thinks when reading the thread title, you know? And you're asking for an A500 ROM for A501? Get an A501 ROM instead or extract the drivers from A501 ROM and use them on an A500 one. There is no point in including A501 drivers in an A500 ROM because the hardware doesn't exist there at all, you know.

I mentioned in another thread (sorry shoulda mentioned it here too) that it maybe its possible that someone create a rom update to include said drivers? Anyway, surely it wouldnt be THAT cumbersome to a 500 to have a couple of extra 501 drivers? (ive tried a few 500 roms already and they run absolutely perfectly apart from apn settings, just frustrating to be so close and stopped by a simple driver).

I solve the issue by using the portable mini wi-fi modem with my 3G broadband SIM that I have lying around. Top up the SIM and unlock the modem for free (bit of google will tell you how to do) now I use it to connect my A500 as well as missu iPad at the same time. ^ ^

What you guys are talking about is usb port working anyway, not 3G... I don't know why you think usb when you read 3g.

good idea, but when I'm carrying around a phone, a tablet, a radio, 2 sets of keys, whatever spare part I need at the time and often a coffee as well... yet another gadget is not at the top of my list of wants... especially when what we're talking about is a something as small as a single driver.

I think that someone should build a 3.1 rom with the A500 3.1 kernel (or some modified one) built with the 3G driver coming from the A501 3.0 kernel. Unfortunately I'm not able to do so...

Hello,
Are you sure about this? I ask this because when I bought mine with HC 3.0.1. it was showing cellular radio in battery usage. I wondered about that and have since found the covered sim port but cannot tell if there is contacts in there. I have been searching these forums looking for anyone who has tried to insert a sim card.
Regards

jkelso said:

Yes. We have a few posts that include teardowns, schematics and people that opened the port. You name it we had it. The module and drivers are missing and the radio is just something that's present in 3.0.1. Most custom roms have it disabled now.

You really haven't searched either very hard, or at all. If you had, you'd have found the dozen or so threads detailing all this.
But feel free to not believe us and stick your SIM in there. Have fun taking your tab apart to get it out again.

Sticking the SIM in there doesn't really do much good for him though as you can clearly see in the take-apart pictures that there's several complete chips, capacitors and resistors missing and those exist only in the A501.. And sure, you COULD solder the missing parts there, but first you'd have to find them all somewhere, then manage to solder everything in place without shorts and without burning any adjacent components..

That's helpful FFM. No need to point me to any of those dozen or so threads either. Yes the forums are very easy to search I have been going through the A500 for hours but not enough to ask for help apparently.
Thanks Werecatf and bpivk,
I did see one teardown thread but it was for the battery. It just showed the backside of where the slot would be. It was just a thought because the radio was draining the battery before the update.

Yeah, it's not really the radio though, it's the driver that continuously tries to access the radio even though it doesn't exist. Acer didn't apparently do enough Q/A, it should have been really easy to notice the extra drain on the battery.

Which phone do you have? Why not attach a decent data plan (if you haven't got one already) and tether the phone to your tablet?
Make use of your phone and use it as your wifi modem
Thus eliminating the need for an extra device AND an extra data plan for your tablet.

My phone (htc desire) has a sim with telstra (which gives me 500mb data per month).. I have a whole other sim with optus for my tablet (4gb per month).. you seem to be suggesting that I discard my optus sim and make do with 500mb data a month... seriously it can't be THAT hard to make a simple addon for a rom which adds internal 3g support for a501...
And @ werecats original post: Yes I am aware that a500 devs wouldn't include it in an a500 rom because the hardware isn't there.. but these a500 devs would do well to have an ounce of compassion for their a501 brethren.

You're making the assumption that these devs actually HAVE an appropriate A501 ROM, with drivers etc, that they can use.
And comments like that aren't exactly going to endear you to those A500 devs either.

[Q] Port Kali Linux Nethunter from Nexus 5 to LG G2 (D802)

Hi everyone,
as the LG G2 is produced by the same manufacturer (LG) as the Nexus 5 and has the same chipset (despite some minor differences e.g. Battery, Display,...), I have been wondering if there is a way to port the Kali-Linux Android ROM (Nethunter) to work with the LG G2.
LINK: http://http://www.kali.org/kali-linux-nethunter/
LINK:http://http://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/
The mere existence of a MAHDI ROM port from N5 to G2 makes me think, that it should be possible.
I would also be quite keen on getting involved in such an effort but I am not very fluent in porting Android ROMS.
I have basic coding skills and am not afraid of learning new stuff so I'd really appreciate if one of the Android-Gurus would kind of orchestrate the whole thing.
Thanks for your attention and good bye.
mick

That would be really awesome!

Yeah, but it seems it will remain a dream, as the members to whom this is addressed to, obviously do not read the Q&A Forums. Why should they anyway?
The problem is, if I open a development-thread it's not unlikely, that someone will be playing the wrong-forum-double-post-card.

To be honest, I'd say look at Dr87's github. He ported Mahdi over... Though really I don't think that the rom itself is "ported" so much as the drivers/kernel/ramdisk need to be modified to work with the code on this device.
I would suggest starting by getting the rom source you want. Then setting up the device in the source using the devices/kernel/vendor files he made. You'll likely get errors during the build, but it would give you a starting point.
There are many, many guides out there on porting roms to new devices. Read through some of those if you haven't and it might help to steer you in the right direction.

Do you mean, that it is not "ported" due to the fact that the chipsets of both devices are the same?

I don't want to look lazy, but as you pointed out, there are many guides out there. Some are old, most are really old. Can you name one or two particularly good ones?
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions...it's going to be a long night.

No, I mean the rom source doesn't seem to need heavy changing typically. Usually the changes to the rom code at large is pretty minimal. Most of the time you need to tweak the device files to work with the rom (caf changes and such).
To be honest, I'd point you toward the Cyanogenmod guides... they have some custom commands but their guide would probably be the most up to date of any.

That should be correct. They have a FAQ at the Nethunter site where they say, that one could use the rom by building a rootfs. This would imply, however, that one could not use the features that come with a dedicated kernel.
So, yes, the rom part should not be the problem. The kernel part will be problematic. I think I'll send a message to dr87, perhaps he has some advice,too.
Just to make it clear, I bought this device some days ago and I want to be quite sure that my messing around with it will not brick or damage it somehow.
Ok. So I'll have a look at the CM-Guides.

I just read about this for the nexus 5 and googled for the lg g2 and came across this thread. I would love to get this working on my g2, gonna do some more googling and see if I can find anything else going on.

I am learning how to port Ubuntu, at the moment. Once I learn that, I can attempt to do it with Kali. Sound good? It may a take a bit, but better than no one trying at all.

Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 ROMS

Hey all,
I am new to this forums in terms of an account, but I browse around a lot. Recently, I had the guts to root my new HDX, and now want a ROM on it. I have done ROMS before, but on phones. For this tablet, I have done root using towel root on 4.2.2(NOT SANGRIA). Problem is, I cannot find any ROMS for this tablet, or any documentation of making one. Can someone point me to a ROM that is AOSP- based. Thanks

Yup, the reason I sold my HDX for the Tab Pro 8.4. I'm sure the device will have a unlock in the future. (I'm looking at other devices that are unlocked using the same chipset.) I fell in love with my new tablet tho. unlocked + sd card slot + nice screen + gps - crappy battery life won me over to the dark side of sammy sung .

Mine was a gift.

New to OnePlus.

Good day. I'm a recent convert to OnePlus from LG. Learned the ins and outs of rooting and flashing on that device primarily through reading, and asking for help in the forums. Would anyone be willing to help by pointing me in the direction of info that would help me get started. Obviously I want to root and possible flash custom on this device at some point. Thanks.

Hey,
Welcome to the dark side
Here's my guide on the bootloader and root for Android 10
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/guide-unlocking-bootloader-rooting-t4151823
If you're already on 11 then just use the bootloader guide and skip to the next guide below.
Here's also my guide on how to obtain a boot img, the software needed, how to extract it, how to upgrade whilst retaining root or how to root 11 directly, 2 methods..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/root-uk-eu-patched-magisk-boot-img-t4175033
If you have any questions, just ask away.
The OnePlus uses a two slot system..so if you're booted and you flash a boot img it'll go to the other slot.
There also no TWRP for Android 11 yet, but truth be told you simply don't need it..
My advice would be (if you want to unlock etc) is to get updated and rooted, then grab xXx NoLimits which is a magisk ROM.

Really appreciate your response! I'll do my best to not be a complete bother. I am pretty good at studying up before making attempts, but have been known to sound a bit frantic when I get into a perceived mess. Always appreciated the supportive ones in these forums. Peace!

I just came from the Pixel line....took me a bit to get Verizon to properly activate my device but this thing is sweet. I am currently on the xXx NoLimits. The one thing I miss about Android 10 is being able to force fullscreen on certain apps of mine. I've done it for years for certain situations using a root app. Now it no longer works since they did away with the ability in A11. I did notice a "Apps to Display in Fullscreen" under Advanced in Display settings.....nothing there though. What's that all about?

Just looks better
