What is Odin software actually written in? This is a great site, maybe you have looked at it before.

You know it's kind of better imo. I am indifferent towards the new interface, since there is almost no loss in functionality. Everything is still there, just stuff moved around. But they did rewrite the kernel, which is now like 25% smaller and makes stuff run a lot faster.

It works just fine.

I can confirm that it is safe to flash recovery in CWM.

Jellybean source code is out

I know jellybean is a sore subject around here but I saw this on the kindle fire section and thought I would repost here just in case anyone didn't know.

Man, I really want to learn how to port roms, AND compile from source, but I don't even know where to start! By the time I finished learning it, this phone would be so old I'd be the only one left on it! lol. But seriously, if a 13 year old can learn how to port and code, I should be able to. I learn blazingly fast. Where do I start learning this stuff? I would love to make a rom from scratch!

How big is your HD? Its easy to dual boot to ubuntu. I think all you would need is about 35 gigs of space. Once builds are done you can move them to windows partition.

There is a installer for ubuntu that will do it from windows. Just google unbuntu.
It will install the newest version and after some updating you will be set. Google is your friend on understanding stuff. Most questions have been asked and answered. It might take a while to find the answer but keep looking. Im currently using ubuntu as my daily because my graphics card was updated in windows and after 8 hours I have to reboot or deal with a blue screen of throw my computer across the room because I was in the middle of something.
Once you learn some tricks ubuntu is as easy to use as windows for the novice person. In time you will not want to go back to windows unless you need it for a game that isnt supported on wine in ubuntu.

Windows isn't even an option. It is not a POSIX-compliant system. Even using Cygwin or MSYS, Android cannot and will never be able to be compiled on Windows.
Also, Ubuntu is Linux.

I dual boot windows and ubuntu. Learned a lot about Linux. On ubuntu you have more control over your system and what you want to do with it on Linux. windows kind of does stuff for you which is a pain sometimes.(imo) I'm still using windows now only because of my job, oh and some games a play. everything else is Linux!

First, I have to figure out how to get this nasty virus off my computer, that I just got today. It's a damn nasty one. I can't find anything that helps, and it keeps redirecting my searches... AVG says services.exe is a trojan... but it's whitelisted as a major component of the OS, so I can't delete it... it's corrupted. and I don't have a backup of it to restore... Every little bit I can get from searches I get to work, makes it seem hopeless, or beyond my technical capabilities to fix.

So ICS is out....wondering how big the jelly bean hurdle will be

Anyone have an ideas?

If youve seen the new jb/cm10 it has a tablet version but idk if its stable yet with our thrive. I just seen the update. I'm kinda happy but my phone which is a newer model the epic 4g no such luck on getting Samsung to ICS/jb update

Nope, Toshiba locked the bootloader but there maybe a ROM for CM10 coming soon to the Thrive.

Hopefully with its price dropping, we can get more interest

Hey guys, I am new to THRiVE development, but not new to development in general. I have a CM10 build that boots.
WiFi and External storage are not working at the moment, but overall it is functional. I'll let you know when I have more. Also, head over to thriveforums.org for more information.

I will be setting up a build environment too soon. There are a few guides around in the internet on how to compile.
It is recommended you have Ubuntu, but not the latest version because of back compability issue compiling. Also you need 50-100 gb of free space and a decent processor to handle all the work.

How to make a theme for Alien Droid (VIDEO)

Feeling lazy right now: Go to [URL = wehostforyou.webs.com ]wehostforyou.webs.com[/URL] and download a template. Then put your own images in it with the same names. If you are making a battery mod, be sure to define if it is a 1% mod or a normal mod by placing a blank file called Bnormal or Bpercent in the folder SystemUI/res/drawable/. that's all I will say right now. Its very simple, You just need to explore some
Edit:here is a video
