Hi. dzo's bootloader requires flashing kernel/initrd/cmdline each time to change settings in android, while recovery is not an issue with RUU and hardspl there may a better way. We also maybe able to support leaving Windows Mobile in NAND and booting from sd for those that want multiboot capability even with the small flash size of the vogue. There a few approaches here, one involves adding multiboot support to HardSPL directly, another to extend tinboot to support a second embedded (cooked) xip with a key press switching modes. The first thing I want to try however is clearing the screen and drawing a basic framebuffer message or menu. We might also switch to a more capable bootloader when support for the NAND and SD can be added. This is in vogue thread but most of the concepts should apply to all HTC MSM devices with Windows Mobile. If you need to reach me try tmzt in #htc-linux on freenode.
do you have anything put together to test out? i'm not very interested in dual booting but i am interested in any bootloader improvements.
I don't have a vogue so I can only build images for others to test, hence this thread.
I am interested in Multiboot images. I would prefer to have Galaxo 1.6.3 as my standard OS and an Android 2.1 OS (like GAOSP or mustymod) as a second on my Samsung Galaxy. It is possible to have a Bootscreen at startup?
A HowTo for programming / customization would be awesome.

You could try Andboot, which will load before Windows starts up and will let you choose between both OS. Good luck!
That´s my problem, Galaxy (i7500) don´t have Windows. Its an Android Handy. I don´t have any ideas for programming a Bootloader for Android...

So, basically you are asking if you can have a dual boot system on a native Android device? I don't believe that is possible yet.
Ok, I will search for some methods from Users in german language and then I will try it.
Thanks for your answers.

Check out some of the other Android projects as they might give you some better insight.
Hello all. My uncle came to me for help. He has an Acer A500 tablet but romanian language pack is missing. So he asked me if I could install it for him so he could better use the device. This is my first time interacting with tablets or android but I like to get my hands dirty so If there's any option available just point me in the right direction please. Like something basic how to root the device then how to add the language pack to some ROM image or whatever the process is. Thank you.

It would help to know which version OS is he using. (HC or ICS). Sometimes it's not so simple as "adding a language pack". My guess, is to make it easier, to root, install CWM, and install a rom designed for his region. But this will depend on what version Android he is running now.
It can sometimes be complicated, but we will help you out.

Hello,
I am working on a custom app for the motoactv platform and I would love to connect to someone who can customize a ROM (like ClearDroid) for my purposes. I basically need a stripped down version of CD that can host my app, connect to wifi (and provide all the hardware services that are on the device already) and basically nothing else. Ideally I would be able to launch right into my app from booting (this might imply a custom launcher as well).
Ideally this person would help me set up this bare ROM, add my app to it and maybe show me around the customization a little. Know anyone? There would probably be some money in it for someone who could competently help me out.
Thanks,
Judd
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck
Update 2.1.0 2016-3-16
1.Optimized Manage UI.
2.Optimized for other versions Lollipop besides RU1.99.
3.Modified for the issue of "read fail".
4.Optimized for config redundancy.
5.Added the language recognition.
6.Fix ROM 4.4 support.
Introduction
What is it?
YotaMirrorCFG is my stab at developing something useful for the Yotaphone 2. It's a configure tool for YotaMirror, which controls the mode each app mirroring on the back screen. It is specified and has been tested on the latest firmware (1.99 RU).
What it does?
- The configure tool allows you to change and manage mirroring mode for each app.
- The configure tool provides full-refresh mode for mirroring , also could change the dithering mode, waveform mode etc...
Installation instructions
I'm not going to bother putting this on Google Play because of the extra work with little benefit, so you have to install the apk manually. Here's how:
1. Check "allow installation of apps from unkown sources" from Settings - Security so that you can install the file.
2. Download the apk file and put it on your phone, or download it to your phone directly.
3. Open the apk file with some file manager and install it.
After this you can manage the mirroring mode for each app in it, just following the instructions.
Download
Download here (2.0.0)
Known issues
- This Widget requires Lollipop to work. No backwards compatibility.
- Changing the parameters in YotaMirrorCFG may cause unpredicted issues. Please set to default if you got mirroring issues on your yotaphone.
FAQ
The graphics without aesthetic ...
- If someone wants to create new graphics for the app, I am very willing to change them.
What are all these permissions?
- The MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS permission.
- The TWRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
- The ACCESS_BACKSCREEN permission.

Hi, what problem did you meet? Reading failure or setting issue?
Could you take a screenshot of Yotaphone info and version, that would be helpful for me. Thanx.
And I update the version to 2.0.0, hope that would be useful for you.
thank you for the update
now the app is in English for me, good (I'm on the latest RU build)
- when I click "MIRRORMANAGER" I get a force close.
- in the 'modify mirror cfg' I see 2 'ONE KEY BACK TO DEFAULT' buttons.
Also it would be good if you sort the app list selection by A-Z
thanks for the work
This is Genial application! Thank you so much for your effort! It works and I'm testing the possibilities.
Can you explain all the menus and buttons a little bit more? What are they for? Also I didn't get why not all of my applications are shown in the list? For example I can not find Google books there but it is installed in my yotaphone 2.
What is A2? What is other options?
App enquiry
Will this app enable me to change the frequency of the flashing (full screen refresh) on the epd screen? I am desperately looking for this function, regards.

that is not true, it doesnt actually allow me to change the update mode for the functioning of the back screen, just individual apps

Thanks for the app but I'm not sure what the different settings mean. I see the local refresh option but presumably that is to minimise flashing? I'm after the opposite - to force a full refresh on the home screen - I'm using Apex Launcher and getting a lot of ghosting after opening and closing menus/app drawer/folders.
I'd like to force Apex to do a full refresh - is that possible with this app, and if so, which settings should I use?
(Sorry for my ignorance.)
For Waveform: Google "yotaphone waveform". You should find a link to mwiki yotaphone com

Hello, is there any way to use this great application to set the setting of yotareader, because the reader apply some sort of "anti-aliasing" to the font to make it looks fine but i prefect sharper renderer (even if the font is aliased)
Thanks for your works
I can't get it works even on listed app.
Maybe it's not compatible with 1.1.124b ?
Thanks
Hi, is the source for this available somewhere?
i've tried to mp the devel but got no answer, maybe you'll have more luck
I'm on the last version of RU firmware and can not install Yota mirror - my phone says that file format was not recognized... any ideas?
Apologize for the late reply,I'm not playing Yotaphone since then.
For you guys questions, please see below suggestions.
[If you want to know about the meaning of each mode/prameter in settings...]
Refer to http://mwiki.yotaphone.com/wiki/Waveforms
The official document will give u a detailed introduction for the mode/prameter in YotaMirrorCFG. Please spend some time to read it if you really want to play it. Otherwise you can just tick in page 'Mirror Manager' in App.
[If you encounter a issue indicating format error of missing files...]
Please go to the directory /sdcard/TitaniumManger in your phone, and delete mirroring.cfg. Try the app again.
Ps. If no directory /sdcard/TitaniumManger found, please establish one yourself.
Contact me by twitter, [email protected].(As in China, it's quite difficult to get over the network wall. So sorry if you got no response from me.)
