First off A NOOB
Will make countless threads over and over again Sometimes in the correct fourm most the time will not about that they cant get this to work.
Example title This rom blows help meeeeeeee i cant stall my hacked leet files rom is buserd..
body of text example
UR romz brokz ma aps fix it..
For all intents and prupose this thread is pointless not only should it be closed but the Poster should honestly go stick to stock. As they are a NOOB and prob for the first point didnt follow directions.
NOW THATS OUT OF THE WAY HERES THE PROPER WAY TO SUBMIT A BUG REPORT SO WE CAN FIX YOUR ISSUES OR AT LEAST TRY TO.
First off Get ADb shell.. Not only is it great for dev's its also great for you guys to send us stuff we to help u get your new shinny toy runnning.
Second off
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/logcat.html
^^^^learn it love it it it gives you logs. Yes crash logs app logs pretty much anything your android phone logs we can have u pull it out.
^^^THIS IS WHAT IS HELPFULL IN A BUG REPORT.^^^
Steps to proper bug report
FIRST OFF POST IN THE PROPER FOURM AND GASP THE PROPER THREAD U KNOW THE THREAD U GOT YOUR SHINNY NEW ROM FROM.
Second When you post be decriptive what were you doing when the rom crashed.
Did you try a phone reset? Yes No
Did clearing the cache and davak cash and fix premissons help via cwm?
Please list any and all tried.
IF these steps were done Does the crash still happen?
IF so
CRASH REPORT TIME
Put your phone in debug mode then connect to pc
Then navagate in dos to where ever you have your adb installed to
$ adb logcat
-f <filename> Writes log message output to <filename>. The default is stdout.
-v <format> Sets the output format for log messages. The default is brief format.
those 2 options are very handy
once you have your log file
ATTACH IT TO YOUR POST!!!!
We will look at the log's if we find out we need more info we can have you run logcat and change the format from brief to a more detailed format so we can better get an idea of whats going on.
Thank you!!!
Ps last note If its a issue we already know about hince its in the bug report and chainlog Please dont post over n over that this is broken when we already know it is thank u

CM 4.2.1 / CM4.1.99x Exception with contact group

Exception with Contacts - so like as in 4.1.99x
I have the same problem as in 4.1.99x, that I can not add a contact in my group (there is still ony one, which was working after some crashes in 4.1.999) without a crashed application
If I look into the exception Monitor, I can found a lot of:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to find the My Contacts group"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What can I do or must do ?
History: I have had the G1 not so long time, but modif. it via WIPE to the 4.0.x ( stable )
After this (2 days later I upgrade to 4.1.111)
from this status I was following the description with the 2 Step to 4.1.999, where I have see the error the first time. With 4.0.x / 4.1.111 I haven't recognize this problem, because I have add some friend in my contact-list. For my meaning, this one was coming in, during upgrade in the 3 steps: WIPE, Google-Recovery, CM-Update 4.1.999.
Hint: If I update the phone, I start the phone WITHOUT a Mobile-Card: because I have had one time a bill over 200€ for data connection, and nobody knows why. So I boot the phone after update without card, check APNdroid, if 3G etc. disabed, shut down the phone, insert the casrd and boot again.
Maybe this handling calls the error ?

Post in the right section.
Also, try searching before you post. After you do that, post in the RIGHT SECTION.
Then, try dropping to recovery, wipe, wipe ext, fix ext, then reflash. And boot, yes, with your card in place. It won't kill you to do it once.
(Oh, and post in the right section, please. )
First of all: If you mean the "Dream Q&A" will be the right the Thread. pls let the Mod/ Admin move this one.
Back to the problem:
YES, I have use the search function and didn't found any usefull infos.
>>> ( how does I love this answer! If you found time to write this one, than I think, you know the answer - pls give me this one )
YES. I have reflashed the 4.2.1 with the card inside the phone: No change
Btw.: I was falling also in the error with the ext2 and ext3, so I change this one on the PC via tune2fs. But normaly every program, which need a DB and did not found it, create one. Or isn't it ?
What should you do?
Post in the right section
Done
under http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576766
Now I hope, that the thread does not goes under ... without solve the problem.

Yeah good luck with that. Posting anything in the QA section is like talking to a brick wall. At least amongst all of the beratings, you sometimes get an answer in the Dev section. Honestly, I have had much better luck on the T-Mobile forums than here.

Got Gapps working on 2.0, but I need some guidance from experienced devs..

I've been trying to get a build going from aosp-master for the past week and I think I've finally cracked it.. As far as I can tell I've got all the google apps working, everything syncs up properly including contacts.. but I need some help setting up what have become the standard features of a custom rom. I asked some of this in Q&A the other day but I don't think any devs go in there any more, and I don't blame you. These questions probably belong here anyway..
1) Whats the proper process for rooting a self-built rom? I managed to hack something together by changing the permissions on sh and su, but it won't work on my current build and it probably opened up security holes everywhere. How do you lot do it?
2) What's the correct way to set up a2sd? I've put cyanogen's script in my init script (launched as a one shot service from init.rc) but I'm not sure if it's working properly, or if that's the accepted way of doing things.
3) Where should I set up the links for busybox, in my init script or somewhere else? It doesn't seem to be working from there..
4) The initial boot of my current build is a bit messy.. I get a selection box asking me to choose from 2 setup apps (google or the default), but I don't know how to remove the default one. I'm not using the SdkSetup package or anything..
Any help would be very much appreciated.
1) Make sure adb runs as root (init.rc), and add the modified su binary and Superuser.apk's from one of the other builds.
2) Usually, A2SD scripts are launched as one-shot services via init.rc.
3) Not in the init script... Not sure where, exactly, as the shell doesn't bother to read any "on-launch" scripts
4) To remove that, i'm pretty sure you have remove one of them completely, by deleting the APK.
Hope that helps...
Oh, and POST IT NAUW!
I didn't think there were any eclair video drivers available yet for the G1?

There aren't. That just means no HW acceleration. I think barak got them working though.
Got them working too, tried the one from the Milestone GSM dump and it worked.
But they won't sync, they won't find the server, any idea?

I got Calendar working on Twisted's mod of the x3 rom. I pulled and pushed a whole bunch of apk's dealing with Google and Google Service Providers, but I didn't note which wound up working. Couldn't get any of the other GApps working though and I continually get gapps and acore FCs. I'll poke around and see if I can remember how I got Calendar up and working so I can actually contribute to this conversation next time
I can't get the su binary to work.. i just get permission denied, it doesn't even try to call the superuser app.
My sync is definitely working, but it seems slow.. It just took me 5 minutes to get an email on the device.. I'm not sure what's happening there, I'll look into it tomorrow.. at which point I'll also try to remember how I got the damn thing working in the first place so I can maybe help others out.
Right now I'm so tired my eyes are bleeding... I think I'll go to bed.

Eclipse Help

HI everyone ive just started to look up to a tutorial, that everybody suggest, so i dont want to jump some steps or change it cause of some errors/bug.
the tutorial im talkin about its this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma8aUC-Mf5M&feature=edu&list=PL2F07DBCDCC01493A.
The errors start when i type noe the Edittext in the .xml file and my R.java disapire (i restarted everything again from begin and same thing happened). ive read in the comments that the fault may be the old eclipse version that he is using and some solved with these:
-android:inputType="textNoSugge*stions"
- android:inputType="textPasswor*d"
but with me the second one it still gives me an error and even if i delete the row the error stay there and i cant run the apk.
I hope that somebody that have time to watch the video and try it on his own could help me. Thnk

[Resolved] [Solved][Q] How to increase the media volume range for xperia mini pro [Help]

IF THERE IS A POST ABOUT THIS ALREADY PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND JUST REDIRECT ME TO THE LINK
As said above, if the link you give me for the steps are hard (I cant do complex stuff, i only understand simple instructions) you can re write the steps here for me to get a better understanding
Okay, i am kind of irritated with the whole 15 levels of volume for Android devices and i wish to increase the range upto 30, 50 is preferred.
I've tried this link HERE
And obviously it didn't work because it is made for a Samsung device which is not mine
So done with the intro (Sorry if I bore you )
I will just tell you what I have and what i need
What I have:
I use an Xperia Mini Pro Sk17i
Running on Cyanogenmod 9.1 (ICS)
Yes it is rooted (No duh)
What I want:
Better range for my volume from 0-15 to 0-30 (50 is appreciated)
At least a frameworkmod.zip
Easy instructions or link to where i can do all this if it has been done
I know if there is a thread about this this will just make me look lazy or something but no, i have been searching around (still am) but i decided to ask so that a kind, charming, knowledgeable person (Trying to attract you ) can step forward and help me
Hope I can get a reply
Additional info can be asked at your request
There must be a specific rom for that..

I shall if you help me out more
Anywho, im sure you dont need a specific ROM for that
I've seen certain devices just have a framework.jar or framework.zip you need to install which just changes some codes
I found one thread HERE after some extensive searching and that volume fix is for my phone, it is not a Rom. I dont know if it will work with CM9.1 Mango but I am just doing a nandroid backup right now and I am going to try it
No helps?
Come on, im sure someone can help me out
Please?

Okay, Prior to what I have said about trying this Fix from the link i provided.
It doesn't work
I am just stuck in the CM boot screen, I've changed the permissions as mentioned in the Topic
This post is solved thanks to numerous people
THIS POST HAS BEEN SOLVED THANKS TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE
Okay so I managed to get 30 steps of volume ^_^ :victory: (Yes I am jumping for Joy)
So anyways, alot of editing, i will be posting links to where i got help to and.... also make the steps easier incase any newbie (Like me) comes by
So yeah
I would Like to credit Dexter93 from #xda-rc who took his time to help me out
Recognized Contributor Chat Support Link HERE
Go to that link so you can access the link to have a chat with the recognized contributors if you have any doubts, they help alot ^_^
And if you are lucky they should be online most of the time
How I managed to do it
This is just for people who need to change their volume on their Mini Pro or other devices
Things you need :
Java software Development Kit
Download Latest JDK (Just download the Latest JDK, not JRE)
smali/baksmali tool (Thanks to the Korean guy, 'vorcot')
Download here
Have Notepad
Have your Framework.jar file on your desktop
Now sometimes Java might not be recognized in cmd
This will be noticed when you use Backsmali.bat (Happened to me)
You can get such message like: "Java Is Not Recognized As An Internal Or External Command"
So to fix that watch this video
Credits to the guy because I thought i would never fix it
After that
Go HERE
And follow the steps from "A. Basic Steps"
and in one step to change the volume you cant just put 30 or 100, it must be in hexadecimal form
You can use the converter here
Just enter a number on the decimal are which is your regular 1-Infinite numbers and click convert
Hope it helps for people who need it :good:
And Any questions can be asked
When I am free, i will make a full Tutorial for complete newbies

I tried it yesterday several times and the first thing you
should know is that if you need the update files it has to have the
letters mv pf and it must be call FULL OTA mv pf
So just dont waste your time with files with no mv pf
And you can look it yourself what will happen in the link below
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72177023&postcount=30
The easy way is to downlaod the latest B381
Put it on the MicroSD card
Then you should DIAL the code
And then start the update manually...
For more info see this link below
Read that hole page 5 or evan some pages before it is not much to read
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/firmware-b386-frd-l09-t3600156/page5
If more questions ask
But do first your homework with reading and more reading or you will end up just like
me wasting time to get fails or error messages
Some things are just important to make and if they are not the exact same way it
will end with fail or error
