Database Info

Is this Helpful?

Was going through google labs page and found this.
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/
helpful to any one?

Admittedly, Android's development environment makes life pretty easy, but you're tied to a computer to do your work. ASE lets you develop on the device itself using high-level scripting languages to try out your idea now, in the situation where you need it, quickly.

Sounds awsome. developing in the bus (instead of playing pokemon )

lol i guess im not much of a dev but since you guys have helped so much, i just wanted to throw it and see who sees use in it.

This is probably what that bar code designer uses.Looks helpful for app devs.

Saw this right after i downloaded and messed around with it, one thing is the shortcut feature dosnt work on the droid eris port by king, would have been perfect otherwise

out of topic but im also using an eris port but on my sprint hero and it works perfectly fine does it matter?

Infuse 4G source available now

You can find the source over at Samsung OSRC. Open-source.Samsung.com I believe.
I posted the link at the bottom of my article here, http://kan.gd/k24

yay. now if someone can share with me on how to build a kernel things can get interesting.

Funny, I wandered over there and started downloading when I found this...
I've built it before on Captivate, I just never had time to look into the next steps... ie how to push it out as a rom.

Thanks for the info....Thread Closed & Thanks.

Suggested standardized thread names and file names

After reading threw the threads and seeing how many different ways the devs are naming the threads and file names. I thought it would be helpful to have a standardized thread\file name layout. This is only a suggestion but I do think it would be help to everyone if we could use this or something like it.
Just my two cents.
Roms
[Rom][Build Number][Rom Name][Version][Latest Update]-Comments
Example:

[ROM][EE19][Stock Debloated][v1.0][6-3-2011]-This is a stock deboated Rom for the mesmerize
File Name:
[ROM][EE19][Stock Debloated][v1.0][6-3-2011].zip
Themes

I second this.
Tap-a-Talked

Third. And we should make it mandatory that anytime a thread is updated, the title should be too. I don't think any of our regulars *don't* do that, so we're mostly kosher, but still.

And people stop posting your retarded questions in dev section!!!!!

i completely agree!!! im just really lazy!

IMO 2+2 can only be 4. It's not that hard to figure out. I honestly don't care. Because if you don't understand it in the first place you shouldn't care what order it's in. Now if you understand what you are doing you shouldn't care either as you know what the hell you are looking at....

Trouble is, people who may not understand flash anyway. Seems to me that standardized labeling, at the very least, could take some of the devs time troubleshooting.

I'm not wanting to sound like a **** but at one point in time we were all noobs. This will help them and us. 1. it will make presenting all the info you need to know about a rom,kernel, theme, ect. all in a nice organized way easy to read easy to understand. 2. by having all that info in title and filename it will make it easy to find when searching for all of the above. This isn't something etched into stone it is just a suggestion. So far everyone seems to be on board but you. again that's just my 2 cents

Now that it seems that most of us on here think that this is a good idea. Let's see if the devs and themers can adopt the new labeling system.

Theres a big difference between a newb n someone who is too damn lazy to learn the basics. We've all made this stuff very easy to learn by all the write ups n guides so there is no excuse for not understanding. most of us always try to make sure to include the build, date, version and name so it's a non issue IMO. Anyone new to the scene should assimilate accordingly .

Lol. That's funny.

Stickied and noted.
What I also suggest, is that when you have a new version out, create a new thread. It will make searching SO much easier as the user won't have to wade through all the fixes and issues for version 1.21 when the version is now 3.2.
If you aren't a recognized developer, and thus can't close your own thread, PM me and I will close it after you've created the new one.

Very Grateful... Anyone want to take a newb under their wing?

Hey my name is Scott and ive been using ROMs from this website for awhile now and well lets face it i think im addicted to flashing new ROMs... either that or im determined to turn my infuse into a brick. . Anyways, besides the introduction i wanted to take a moment to personally thank each and every developer on this site and especially the ones in the infuse section for making my phone 20x better then it ever could be. Its amazing what you guys come up with. I really appreciate the hard work and dedication. With all this being said, I would absolutely love to learn how to do this. As far as programming goes, i havent done anything since the days of VB3 . So... Would any of the awesome developers out there want to mentor a newb?? I would be very grateful if someone could teach me what i need to know and maybe one day develop my own ROM.

First off, thank you as well. Without out flashers our work would be virtually worthless
Secondly, before starting development take a day to sit down and really research articles on this site. The more knowledge you have before hand will put you a head of the game. Once you have basic knowledge, pick a base rom. One that you feel would be best for what you want to build. Download that rom. Download nunhuggers apktool, the necessary Java development tools. Decompile the rom and take a while to look through it, and kind of get an understanding of how things work within the rom. That would be the best starting point.
Also when developing your own rom, before you release it take time to make sure everything is in working order, releasing a half broken rom is no good, releasing a solid, stable rom is aces. I'd you need anything I will gladly answer any questions I can, and help in anyway I can. Most senior devs would be glad to help as well, very good community we have here.

Thank you for your response and advice. I have briefly gone over guides and documents ive found just by doing a general google search and of course from this site also. It looks kind of complex, but im sure your suggestion of taking a day and sitting down to decompile it and take a good look would really put things into perspective.
When i do a search for nunhuggers apktool, it just comes up with a tutorial video? Is this what your referring to or is there an actual download that im missing?
Thanks for the offer to help if i need it... I have a feeling ill definitely be taking you up on that. I have noticed just from downloading ROMs and general observations on this forum that everyone seems pretty awesome and are willing to help. Glad to have finally joined and posted.

There should be a download in his topic, not sure if he took it down or not. I'll upload it when I get home and give you the link if you don't have it by then. His video explains how to use it and its very simple to do

Not to discourage, just giving you some advice, it is allot of work for even little things, I say down and tried to edit the 2.3.6 and add a simple extended power menu, took me 30 mins at least and I didn't even get to test it, wouldn't re compile for some reason, again not to discourage, just trying to give you some insight into what's needed

deathblade... Thanks for the heads up.. Im looking forward to the time that it takes to put into this.. I am very OCD about things and when i get obsessed with something, i get 100 percent focused on getting it done.

If you have mac laying around...or if your willing to run linux this is a great tool! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167623 its called android utility and it downloads and installs everything you need to get started...except java gotta download that before you run this tool.
The first time you run it it will go througb the installation process and it will get you just about everything you need...
-dsixda's android rom kitchen (great for decompiling a rom and recompilimg a rom)
-apktool (for decompiling apks...this tool is neccesary for development if you want to add tweaks and mods)
-simple adb interface (has a list of options, choose what you want and it does the code for you)
Has some other stuff too but thats the main stuff
I have it on my linux computer and it runs great!
Ill upload some pics of it as soon As i finish my lunch
And if ou ever have any questions send a dev a pm, they are all very helpful!

Thanks for the pics, that tool seems very helpful. I only have windows 7, but i should be able to load linux on an emulator and run it from there.

if you download ubuntu, it has an installation option where you install it in and along side windows, and it will ask you which to boot into when turning you computer on, very useful

Hello and a quick tip! Before setting up your Linux box make sure that ALL of your hardware/peripherals are supported by the Linux distribution you choose. You can see a list of all your hardware in windows by typing "device manager" in the search box. If you find that all your hardware is supported, have fun .

New Group for Photon Q collab - http://forum.xda-developers.com/group.php?groupid=849

Go ahead, make fun now, yes that guy who bricked his Q (but then saved it!) is actually a s/w engineer and has opened a group for dev here. My expertise is really in real-time embedded c++, c, and .net c#/VB (control systems, servo control, drivers, hw/sw interface, etc - but have certainly done plenty of java, and read up a bunch on the Android standard interfaces and objects you are provided to work with. So anyone, for fun, for talking, even if nothing ever comes out, lets chat!

Joined!
I know a bit of C++ (pretty fresh, but haven't done anything with it in months) and can crawl my way through Java.
As an added bonus, I made a rom on the Droid 3 (but had a good amount of help).

Hi, this is great to see that you want to get people working together on this but as this is just a discussion point it doesn't belong in the development forums. Once development work begins then you can post that in there.
Thanks

So for "wifi tether for root users" on our phone we set the device to "generic ICS/JB" device?
And is it "wlan0" or "wlan1"?
Finally why wouldn't a Motorola Razr device setting work, same reason as why a ROM for them wouldn't work on this phone?
