Kifno's Lessons

I would like to start teaching people about android so if you would like to learn from me about:
- Making Roms
- Scripting
- Modding
- Theming
Then please post here what you'd like to learn about and PM me as well and I'll send you a lesson every night or every other night about that category. You can choose all 4 or just 1. It doesn't matter I'm here to help you, yeah YOU!
- Kifno

I'd like to just understand more about all of the topics. Not to be a dev, but just to be able to communicate better on this forum about it. Like I understand digitals VMS os but always hated to work with unix, so I learned very little about it.. What is scripting ? what is meant by modding, etc.
Thanks Kevin, Ted O.

Modding as in learning what I do in my tweak
Scripting is I'll give you bash script lessons

Also the lessons won't start until next week sometime because I wan to gather a group of students first. Right now I have a small class of 8 people. I'm only starting next week so that I can make a plan on where I'm going to start teaching you and the process I'm going to go about teaching you more (what should I teach you after what I previously taught you so that the lessons flow together). but I'm sure I can teach you all enough so that you all can start doing something for xda too

I want to learn something about all of it , not to be a dev. , but to understand what they do , so I can react better to posts/etc. Thanks Kevin,.

Why don't you post in a thread(s) instead of in pm's that no one else will see? Are you just trying to limit the number of questions and comments you get back?

I'd rather teach one on one makes it easier for me to get to learn my students and how they learn and how fast , and how to go about teaching them

I wouldn't mind learning all of it but would prefer a classroom environment but since you're the teacher I will do whatever you think is best.

I'd like to learn about all 4 it would be an honor to pick ur brain

Galaxy Note FAQ

Hello Everyone,
I am in the process of compiling a Galaxy note FAQ, to hopefully help avoid thread clutter through repeated questions.
I'll be putting it here:
http://lishutterbug.com/note
It will take me a while to get all the information I can find compiled up, but you can keep an eye on the page as I update it through the coming days.
Any suggestions/comments are welcome.
If I make any mistakes, or if you have any information to add that isn't in this forum (I plan on grinding through every thread) then please let me know!
Thanks!
- Frank

Great idea and a nice start.

Thanks, well done.

we should make this a sticky

A lot of recent questions are covered in my FAQ (which is approaching something useful) so I'm doing a bump.

Excellent write up man, good job!

Went through the FAQ, really great!
One thing is wrong though. Opera doesn't have any Night Mode.
There used to be a hacked/modified/modded version with night mode but it's an old version, and download links are broken.
BUT, I found this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281738
you should reference it, it's working, i tested it with Mozilla + Proxy plugin.
This way I have Stock browser with stock experience working perfect, and mozilla firefox for battery saving browsing.

Bookmarked. Thank you!

Right - I'll have to correct that.
There's no night mode, but there is a way to force it to use white on black.

I'm adding to the FAQ on a daily basis.
Just added a bunch of service menus, some of which show some interesting stuff.

BTW, I was forced to help a friend get gmail widget on his Galaxy S II, and I realized a few things google did in Gmail 2.3.5 to prevent external apps from accessing gmail data, Hence, no widget without any hacking.
Eventually I came across a post which I don't remember where it is, which explained how to decompile Gmail.apk with apk manager, change some lines in the manifest xml, recompile, install and bam, Email Widget started working.
This could prove very useful on a large screen such as the note's.
On the 5th of dec, i get my own note, i'll be doing it and youtubing/documenting it.
Wanna add it to the FAQ?

If u can provide a back to top link to the table of content every end of the ans will be good

You write that you can use a SGS2 bootloader to reset counter using the jig. I did that with xxkka ROM and now my brand new Galaxy Note is bricked.
Thanks a lot!
Edit: It wasn't bricked after all! That bad flash only killed the screen! Got it flashed again with the orig rom without being able to see what I was doing! Now the screen is working again!

I have been reluctant to add mods/hacks to the FAQ for this very reason.
I only add stuff if there are several 'thanks, that worked for me' posts after it.
The problem with this sort of thing is that there is no guarantee that methods will continue to work with future updates. So it's inherently risky.
Perhaps I should just post links to the posts containing methods to do stuff.

[MINI TIPS & TRICKS] MiniCM9

I am creating this thread in order to offer my personal tips and tricks to help users access the full potential of MiniCM9 on their device. Although their may be other tricks similar to mine, the user would not have explained it the same or suggested settings like I will. This is a follow up to my mini review of the ROM itself. I am currently creating a series of mini guides, review and more.
Check them out here:
[MINI GUIDE] Easiest Soft Brick Escape - For the Desperate User
[MINI REVIEW] MiniCM9 for Xperia x8​If you have ANY suggestions please post them below.
So here are my Tips & Tricks into
1. If you have this ROM on your phone, you would have unlocked your boot loader and given your phone ROOT rights. This is necessary for this tip. Seeing as the x8s internel memory is not great, your phone will spend a lot of time reading and writing to your SD card. To speed this up and give your phone a 'faster' feel.
Download SD-Booster from the play store for free. HERE
Once installed, on first boot it will need to gain superuser rights and may take a while. Be patient.
After this it will give you the option to change cache size (kb).
I personally recommend bumping it up to 2048kb.
Click Apply and check set on boot and you will be done.
2. For and additional kick, overclock! You spent all that time and were stressed unlocking your boot loader so make use of it.
Go into settings>Down to perfromance>processor>minimum cpu>set to 320mhz
>maximum cpu>set to 729mhz
Back out and reboot.
3. If you can't see the screen in light conditions, go into settings>display>brightness and then check the ultra-brightness box. You will see clearly.
4. If you need even more performance; don't clutter your phone. Stick to as little apps as possible. Remember! The x8 is not a powerhouse.
5. Live wallpapers use up RAM. Do not use them if you want speed.
6. Clear your multitasking. Long-press the middle button and clear your apps. This will also save ram.
7. I also recommend you install beautiful widgets to add some zaz to your home screens. HERE
8. To keep the Mini in MiniCM9 you may want to reduce the number of homescreens but this is just a personal preference. To do this, go to settings>launcher>homescreens>number of homescreens and then select the one you want.
I have spent quite some time typing this review, please do not troll. All suggestions on the other hand are more than welcome. Please hit 'thanks' if you appreciate my massive effort. Sorry if this is not something you wanted. Even though thread is long, I call it mini because it does not cover everything.​

Great Post. You're really building the site Baddaman54. Look forward to your next guide. This one is short and straight to the point. :laugh:

Thankyou. But I am sure Mike Channon built the site. lol.
Thanks for the post. Nice Avatar by the way. Also please stop going around thanking any post I make.
EDIT: The above user is a SPAM user.

Nah separate because tips aren't part of the review. Some people may not want to read the review. Just have the tips. And it is easier for me to manage.

Wow, thanks for your input, your now on my watch list. Continue with this type of posting and you'll lose that ability.
I suggest you read the rules we expect all users to follow, specifically rule 2.

Been with android from the very beginning, and I would say what I don't know is not worth knowing,,,,,, but I did not know this shortcut, so I am wrong, and thanks for the tip
