Sonofskywalker3 section now available in ROM Manager

Just wanted to let you guys no that you can now go into the downloads section of ROM manager and you'll see the Sonofskywalker3 section. Blackhole is not quite ready for release yet, so you won't see it there, but I have put up a large collection of live wallpapers, multitouch keyboards from camelot, boot/shutdown animations, and launchers that you can now flash easily straight from your phone. I haven't been able to test these since i don't have a vibrant, so i'm relying on you guys. Please post any problems you have wiht anything in ROM manager to the official error reporting thread at www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3 or right here in this thread and i'll try to keep on top of it. thanks for all your support guys.

Awesome! Checking it out now.

Dude, can you please send me instructions on how to get this added to rom manager.... I have tried koush with no luck.
Awesome you were able to!

Will this need a ROM Manager update, or is it all ready to go? (I'd look myself, but I'm flashing back from CM at the moment..)
Edit: Oh wow, is this nice. s15274n- It's under the download rom section. I know it mentions something about the premium version, click that.

to answer both questions at once: www.github.com hosts all koush's code for rom manager manifests. If you open an issue there with the code you want added one of his team will add it. once it's added you show up in rom manager instantly, no upgrade needed, because when you click donload rom in any version of rom manager it parses the code at github.com in manifests.js and looks for any vibrant = true tags, and if it finds it, it displays the info. I personally forked the manifest, edited it, and used a pull request to get it committed to the main manifest. if you want help getting yourself in rom manager, look for me in #sonofskywalker3 on irc tomorrow evening and i'll be glad to chat with you and walk you through it.

I love you...whomever the fark you are!
(Awaiting the final...mac fag sadly).

If it's that easy, why aren't the ROMS in there? That would save so much time and heartache.

None of the live wallpapers work for me...Axuras 2.1

Patience.....fauk, someone is going the proper route and you want to rush them.
CMR flashing FTW!

None of the live wallpapers work for me...Axuras 2.1

Give it time...an updatable rom via CWM is awesome yet time consuming....waiting patiently
Using a chihuahua to post up in this B

Hey lightninbug, do the wallpapers just not work? Did you flash them thru clockwork? Im at work and I dont want to do anything to soft brick my phone.

So you actually flash a wallpaper?? Sounds strange.... lol

yeah they dont soft brick.....just fc upon trying to open them.....yes flashed thru clockwork n rom manager...they installed to system/app..dont work tho

Thanks lightnin. I'm having trouble finding this stuff tho. My download section says it only has extras and free stuff. Not sure where to find these goodies at.

Op 1 week ago you posted a galaxy tab Rom that bricked phones. Soon after you just recently asked devs how to make a Rom. Now your going to post a Rom. No thanks noob that's one black hole I won't be goin down.

I'm afraid you have me confused with someone else. I have never released a ROM for galaxy tab, only one before this was the version for fascinate, and it's working great on my own phone as well as many others. Also I have never posted here asking how to make a ROM. I got started by reading tutorials online, getting help from other devs in IRC, and a lot of trial and error with my own phone before I ever released my first ROM. I don't mind criticizm, and welcome error reports, both are ways to improve the final product. However they are only helpful if they are true. If you can link me to the posts where I supposedly did these things I may better understand what you're talking about.
As far as the live wallpapers they are from the fascinate, I was hoping they would be installable without modification. Is anyone else having this issue with other roms? could you please get me a logcat during an fc so i can see what it's doing? also please try the digital rain wallpaper, it's from the market so we can use it as a kind of control group. thanks.

Sonofskywalker,
you will have to excuse the comments and tone of some in here. Recently this section has many unacceptable outbursts. I agree, issues must be raised in a constructive manner, rather than just being rude.
thanks for your work and I'll take a look.

Actually, the bootanimations are firmware independent, so they'll work fine, the keyboards have been tested on 2.1 on the fascinate and they worked, so give them a try, and the livewallpapers came from 2.1 on the fascinate, and don't work on at least 1 2.2 rom, so if you can try them out that'd be great. and all these updates do is add an apk file to your system partition, so there's no worry of bricking as long as you have a nandroid backup.
that being said, I need a few people to test the final alpha build before i release it as a public beta, just got it uploaded this morning. Please email me at [email protected] if you're interested, and i'll be glad to send you a link. please note you'll need to have a jk6 modem and kernel installed, but i'll be glad to send you links for those too.

[Q] NDo I Need to Change gapps with ADS_magpie-20110510-signed.zip?

Several questions:
1. If I use gapps with AndDiSa's latest ADS_Magpie (ADS_magpie-20110510-signed.zip), does it require the newer version of gapps (GAPPS: 20110508b) linked on ezterry's page?
2. If the answer to 1 is yes, any special advice (definite DO's or DON'Ts)?
Some background:
Have used AndDiSa's ADS_Magpie on rooted G1 for a few weeks and have been very pleased with it.
Checked his page today at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9870397/android/ADS_magpie/index.html today and saw he has a new version numbered 20110510.
Since it is based in part on ezterry's Gingerbread work (Source Code Repo for ezGingerbread development (Dream and Sapphire)), I've also been following that thread.
With ezterry's GINGERBREAD-DS-Alpha-20110509-1.zip, he includes a statement that reads "Starting this version you must use GAPPS: 20110508b due to the new Platform key in use." That is the reason for my question.
Thanks for your help.

If you do a no wipe install it should work without installing the new gapps due to the backup script included. I didn't have the chance to test it deeply, so I cannot guarantee.
If you do a clean install, the new gapps should work fine.
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App
Edit: Most likely it's more secure to erase system, then flash the rom and then flash the new gapps

Thanks, AndDiSa. I made a full backup (gapps, nand+ext) from recovery and flashed the latest - no problems.
Really enjoy GB with magpie on my G1, getting another 6 months with it will be much more satisfactory.
Thanks for sharing this with the community!

anyone can pelase share the ROM link with me for ADS_Magpie..
evertime i searched i got this LINK

Take the link from my signature ...

[KANG] CM9 Atrix Test Build by wrldsuksgo2mars

I tried the latest build of CM7 done by the Atrix Dev Team and it is awesome. Very reliable, fully functional, etc. I figured I'd give a whirl to compiling the real ICS version to see what that was like.
CM9 build system with the appropriate Atrix Dev Team repos in place actually spit out a working ROM. There are a number of issues aside from the general preview state of CM9. I figured I would share them in case anyone else was as curious as me. Apparently, the internal atrix dev teams are well beyond these issues already, so kudos.
Probably related to CM/atrix specific stuff
- Camera and finger print sensor don't work
- Launcher crashes pretty often
- Some openGL demos don't seem to work right (or at all)
- No mounting the SD as USB storage
Probably related to the specific gapps package I used.
- Maps crashes after 3 seconds (signal 11 - native code crash)
- Maps wants to update, but it can't (sharedId conflict if you actually remove maps)
- Earth won't run (missing the earthmobile library)
- Google Voice Search bombs (signal 4 - illegal instruction - currently suspecting the native packages might have some NEON instructions that the atrix cpu doesnt support)
- Calendar will not sync for google or exchange. App loads, but the sync service is failing
- Lots of null pointer exceptions for the NFC stuff in the log.
Anyway, this is just a build of the code that's out there, nothing special done by me. It might be useful for a dev phone or something but not for use on a real day-to-day device. Obviously it doesn't have the google apps embedded in it.
http://www.multiupload.com/XT9QPPQYF1 thanks xploited for uploading

Personally, I had trouble going back to CM7 afterwards, my clockwordmod backups were screwed up (bad boot.img? cross-linked files on the SD card) and I had a very hard time getting back to the good ole working state. Ultimately, I had to restore the partial backup and then reflash the CM7 image + gapps.
So, if you were curious what building a random repo on the web and installing it on your phone would do, then feel free to try and lose all of your data. There are no updates/support for this, etc. It's just a curiosity... what is the state of this stuff right now?
BTW... I am back on CM7/Atrix now which is AWESOME!!!!

Not sure how the dev team would react to this ..we do not want any bricked phones because of this ..there maybe some experimental dangerous code in there in those sources as of now ..not sure though

Hmm... figured since I spent quite awhile getting a build set up, it might be worth sharing. I am happy to take down if it is inappropriate.

Well I am not the best person to answer that ...but yeah thanks for your work.

Eh, I wouldn't be mad about it, but I think it needs more caution. I would just wait. As you say, it kindof screwed with a lot and wasn't very usable, so why flash it? Maybe ok for someone who wants to look at the code, but I wouldn't flash it.

Awesome news man. Thanks for being a lab rat and giving us an update.

Not so much take it down as change the title of the post.
the current internal atrix-dev-team cm9 is way further ahead of this, we have some different patches. this is missleqading as it makes it sound official and is not.
Could you please change the tittle to [KANG] CM9 Test Build by "your name"
and please link to the sources, as is proper practice for open source projects
thank you

it looks very nice but id needs a bit more work to be a experimental daily driver.
ps: to solve the corrupt backup problem just copy the files to your computer before flashing and copy to your phone before restoring.
good luck!

where can I get google apps for this rom? Tryed gapps for CM7 from CM wiki - fail, setup wizard crashes.

For a preview build it looks pretty nice. Surprisingly stable for what it is. Definitely keeping an eye on this, especially since the code is out there to make DIY kangs with.

[Testers needed][GWK74][Stock AOSP][2.3.7]

Hi everybody,
I just compiled a stock AOSP 2.3.7 ROM from aosp sources as one of the team members got recently a P990 and I decided to do some stuff for this device although I don't own one. This is where you can help as I can't test myself.
I have attached the build.prop already for those who are interested in having a look into it.
The ROM is based on GWK74 Android 2.3.7 and has yet no modifications added compared to the stock AOSP project. You can participate and share your ideas by means: leave / stay with launcher2 / gallery3d / stock camera+browser-app or replace those with better alternatives. I want to make this ROM barebone-like to provide you a highly customizable ROM. As like you do with stock CyanogenMod ROMs you will have to add the CM-GAPPS on your own via CWM. I won't include them into the ROM so you could even modify the gapps-package and adjust it to your needs.
As I am actually not familar with the available kernels and how they perform on P990 I will include the built-in cm-kernel.
People wanna help with testing this please leave a message on this topic (no PMs plz). The first download links should appear this evening / tonight (UTC+1) as I am going to do a final fresh compile now. Those leaving a message will receive the link by PM. Once I receive positive feedback I will make it public.
The sources I used:
CM-github (modified LGE P990 + star-common device tree for AOSP)
Android Open Source Project
About me:
neopeek - primarily focused on XDAndroid project and making ROMs based on the XDAndroid project.

ok you all got a private message with the link!

Hello,
It's a good start. I can't install it via CWM 5.0.2.7. I will try via CWM 5.0.2.0.

ok thx for providing feedback. Might require some fix to the updater-binary or updater-script. Lemme check this...

Same here, status 0
No idea what that means though

Error status 0 is caused by a wrong updater-binary. My fault! Misplaced some files while packaging it. I have re-uploaded the ROM now again. This time I used CM7 META-INF but added my own updater-script. To assure other issues the zip is unsigned now. So you will have to disable "signature checks" in CWM, too. Don't forget to wipe data/cache partitions in CWM, too.

Can I test this rom?

Count on me!

It's not modified like CM, just pure Android 2.3.7? Hmm I think It's a good idea, if you will be able to fix CM's bug (of course if there are here) it will be maybe one of the best rom. You can count on me too though.

Free to test if you need more testers for feed back? ;-p

Waiting eagerly for build, wanna give a shot

[ROM][P6800][OnHold]Ubuntu-touch dev preview(18.03.2013)

I have put this project on hold for now. I flashed latest Austrian ICS build to my device and continue using it as my Kindle reader on my travels. IF somone manages to fix the two issues with kernel, send me a message and I'll continue working with the repository. But for now I'm not thinking nor touching the subject before Easter. Thank you for participating for now
I've started porting Ubuntu-touch dev-preview to the Galaxy Tab 7.7 (3g). If you do not understand it already, you flash this at your own risk. There is now also a Ubuntu-touch specific device page here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/p6800. I'll try to keep this thread and the Ubuntu devices page as close to each other as possible.
Big thanks to Daniel_hk for helping with boot.img Now It can be booted, but the screen is still black
Also, without working wifi and display, the preview is basically unusable... Next steps should be these:
1. Get wifi drivers working.
2. Get display drivers working.

What works
Ubuntu-touch dev-preview is flashable.
It boots!
Known Issues
Kernel is based to the CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210, but it is a mess. So forked it, took code here and there (mostly from locerra's JB build).
Kernel is based 3.0.15 and no newer one available (yet).
Most of the drivers in kernel had to be turned off, because build was not succeeding...
bluetooth: Doesn't work
audio: Dock audio doesn't work.
hwcomposer: HDMI dongle doesn't work.
wifi: Doesn't work.
camera: Doesn't work.
.. and lot of kernel level bugs for sure.
Displaydrivers are not working (yet).
Release notes
Version 0.2 (13.03.2013) - Now it boots, see release notes
Version 0.1 (07.03.2013) - Intial release, nothing works
Credits
BIG THANKS to daniel_hk for solving the boot.img problem for me.

I cannot test it for anything else. The kernel sources are from CM10.1 that was in use from locerra, so in theory it should work with i815 and with p6810 as well. But I cannot give you any guarantees...
And also before I get this build to even start with my device, I do not think that sharing image would help anyone. But if you are a developer, I would like to talk with you on issues that I might have missed or done wrong. So contact me

Not much. The generated image is missing /data/ubuntu completely and that is the reason why the image does not boot. I got also flu and fewer, so I have had not that much time after the weekend to look on the issues on that.
I'm also waiting if I get any answers from Ubuntu touch emailing list regarding the problem and where to look for answers, but my quess is that it has something to do with the devices fstab file...

Good news everyone!
Just got a very good answer the problem I had with the /data/ubuntu-folder missing from the image. There was no image provided for the actual Ubuntu at all by the build-process...
When I get home from work, I'll try to find time to look into the build process if I can include the actual Ubuntu image to the ready made image and then release it after I get my device to boot. But it seems that I got the right nudge forward for this now :highfive:

Hmpf, still not booting. Now the /data/ubuntu logs are unmodified, which would point towards kernel or fstab-issue (ie. /data/ubuntu is never used...).

Ok, new version build from different repositories (thx, danile_hk for tip).
I'll test the new image this evening when I get back to home, and I have my fingers crossed that I can get the device to boot up and even display something useful. After that I can start looking for ubuntu developemnt

New version did not work, but then Daniel_hk gave me working boot.img. So now I need to find out what the heck is wrong with my repository and fix it so that I can get working boot.img from start and also the device configuration has issues. Both repositories are currently out of sync I'm afraid

It seems that I hit the wall (again) with the mentioned big issues.
For now, I keep some sabbatical from Ubuntu Touch things (ie. I flashed ICS Austria to my device) and use it as my Kindle reader again.
If by miracle I get more info regarding how to get the Kernel working with Ubuntu Touch, then by allmeans I continue working with this project. So far it just seems that making a working image, is out of my hands currently.

At least you had a go. Thanks for your efforts, and hope you might have another crack at it later on.
I'm feeling a little bit that way right now too, and put my ICS kernel on the back burner. I think I'm trying to multitask a little too much at times....
Yep, a break is what you need, maybe some clarity will come after you've had a chance to recharge.

Not much, I have had no interest to spend time with this topic because I have been very busy IRL. After I get my new house renovated fully and get my job tasks done, I wont be spending much time with this project. Feel free to use any sources provided in this thread to further advance the subject.
But this wont go forward that much, if the GT-P6800 wont get official CM10.1 update...

It works?
