[Q] Gigabyte G1305 Hidden Partition - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi ppl, i'am from Portugal so sorry for my poor English, i'am a cooker for the Orange Boston (Aka Apanda A60, GigaByte Codefish, Wellcom etc etc), the issue it's this, i'am trying to change some thing's in the hidden partition, ok i have extracted the original hidden.img from the original ROM Apanda2.1Final.nb0 and with unyaffs in this point i have in that folder a custom.iso (this will be Virtual CD-ROM that will be mounted in windows) a settings.xml and boot animations, ok i change the boot png's and some settings in xml. now i repack the folder with mkyaffsimg in linux, ok now i flash with fastboot, now the problem is the Virtual CD-ROM its not mounted so the hidden it's not being linked to custom.iso the strange it's i had not changed anything in custom.iso.
Another issue with this terminal its (i think) i cant use mkyaffsimg in linux to creat a hidden.img so i run mkyaffsimg inside the phone by the adb shell with mkyaffs2image /hidden /sdcard/hidden.img ever with this method the result it's the same.
thanks in advance

+1 for an expert advice please.
And, if possible, anyone knows how do i sign the update.zip or where to find the keystore for the rom signing? How do you guys found the key for the other devices here @XDA?
Thank you in advance.
Regards from Portugal.

they find the key i think by reverse enginering or the HTC can be signed with a custom key or an developer Key, our phone it's stupid because with the google's developers key we can't sign

Anyone here @xda can please enlighten us about the questions above?
Ty in advance

Bump, anyone?
Regards from Portugal

Same problem here, i can't rebuild the hidden partition after modding the content. On pc or on phone, i can't get successfully to rebuild the hidden partition.

Since there are many unusefull applications inside it and I want to delete or subsitite them. I read some topics about cooking roms in forum but I cann't find any information about customizing "nb0" files.
Thanks!

Fortunetly, I could dump content of ".nb0" file with tools provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249836 (Beta: WM5 ROM editing tool). I got pleanty of files in dump folder. It's har for me to diffrentiate which file is which!
Could any one help me to find my voice command application inside this dumped rom and repalce it with another voice commmand application such as MS voice command?
There are some files and directories with this name in my dumped rom:
VoiceBar.dll, VoiceCtl.dll, voicedll.dll, VBarCall.dll, VCOMCtl.dll
I am really confused! I do not know what files should I delete or where copy new files.
Thanks in advanced.

I have the same problem after starting the desktop and the icons bar on the botton, the device show the keyboard but I'm not able to move the cursor with the stylus.
please note that the device shows me only part of the keyboard, seem like that the resolution is wrong.
During the startup the font changes size. can be related to the wrong resolution??
No actions can be done with the sistem.
thanks and let me know if more information is need
This thread made me come up with a new prefix for these threads.
[LNX]
So put [LNX] in threads for Non Android Linux builds. So users can easily identify or search for specific threads.
Spread the word mate
With /dev/input/event3 it works well.
AmiPro wrote a new detection script for touchscreen.
Now Rhobuntu works on HTC ELF.
yo.. you know what is Elfin device code? i got to edit the startup.txt to make this LXDE runs on it. thanks!
Could you post your startup.txt?
Download for new init-script: http://rhobuntu.googlecode.com/files/init
Hello excuse, you could tell me how to replace the init file? I tried to follow the explanation at the beginning of the post, but I could not mount the file ubuntu.img, in any way. I tried with a live ubuntu, but it did not work. I tried to mount the. IMG file with magic disc but can not mount it. I guess not enough to replace the init file in the destination folder? I tried but during boot change the resolution, and the screen remains fixed on a keyboard in the middle where you can not interact. As was the case before ... Could you explain in detail how to replace the init file, or at least to run on the touch rhobuntu elf?If you want to write me a pm. Thanks
P.s. sorry for my bad English

Download Ubuntu LiveCD
http://www.ubuntu.com/
Run liveCD
- copy Ubuntu.img to the root of your harddisk (c:\ for example)
- open terminal
- open folder of Ubuntu.img (cd /media )
- mount Ubuntu.img ( sudo mount -o loop Ubuntu.img /mnt )
- run: sudo nautilus (FileManager)
- select "show hidden files"
- copy new init to /mnt
- close nautilus
- maybe you have to end the nautilus task in terminal with CTRL+C
- umount Ubuntu.img ( sudo umount /mnt )
- copy new init to /mnt
Thank you soo much!!!! Now Rhobuntu run well on my elf!!!!

did you replaced the init file?
Thanks buddy, I managed to get it installed. Mistake was mine, I copied Ubuntu.img file in ubuntu directory. as i moved it out on storage card root, it got installed.
But after installation there was a big key board on screen which i managed to drage down with stylus. but what I feel is the resolution need to be changes as it is showing everything so big.
Also, I tried to make a call to this device, we get ring at device from which I was calling, but there was nothing on the device on which I install rhobuntu. also I could not make a call from here. Can you help me in these cases.
Found something while starting rhobuntu, you may be interested to know.
While starting rhobuntu from haret.exe at one point it shows starting ophono daemon something, where it says can't create signal descriptor file. is it helpful to resolve this issue?
Gourav
Hi,
Got installed the Rhobuntu can access it. Facing two issues on it as follows;
1. Phone function not working as ofono daemon says - can not create signal filedescriptor: Function not implemented
2. Resolution are not as per device.
Please anybody help me to get all this working.

[Q] Problem with Android on HTC

Hi!
I have an HTC Diamond and I'm trying to install Android, but I have some trouble
I read some guides but I'm not able to boot it!
I downloaded an archive with many files: zImage, system.sqsh, rootfs.img, initrd.gz, haret and so on... all of theese were in one zip archive.
I decompressed this archive in the "internal storage" (4GB), modified the "startup.txt" for my device etc...
Now, when I launch "haret.exe", the device start to boot Android until it returns an error: it can't mount sd card!
Why device crashes? how can I fix this?
I hope that it's understandable xD I know that my english isn't so good!
Many thanks to those who respond!
ps: I hope that this is the right sub-forum, if not I pray mods to move in the correct forum

[Q] Htc Hd2

I am trying to install rafdroid and the instructions say to " First of all modify the config.txt file in your build folder, with wince=1 or you will be stuck at bootscreen."
I really don't know how to modify it so could anybody help with this?? Maybe some steps on what to download & how to modify it would be helpful. Any help will be appreciated. Help ASAP if able. Thanks.
I've used rafdroid sd builds looong time ago... but i remember that if you use to start android from winmo you must create a text file (withe Notepad), write "wince=1" and save it in to the android folder in the sd-card otherwise it will work only with MAGLDR.
