Been a long time since I've done much with phones honestly. Looking for someone who can help me setup my netbook basically to purely be for Android development and hacking. Any and all help would be appreciated, mostly looking to update to ICS and see what its all about.
Thanks to everyone

thank you. also if you happen to be local I'd like someone who would be able to meet somewhere possibly and walk me through some of the basic things to get me moving along. Like I said its been a long time since I've even flashed a ROM onto a phone and with this Rezound and all the ICS needing special procedures to install kernels and everything I'm completely lost. So I'm still stuck on 2.3.4. I bought the phone from a guy I used to work with and he used to be helpful but since he got tired of trying to keep up with it all and that was the reason for selling it to me he couldn't teach it. He deleted every single file from his computer related to Android and removed it all from his Pulse account and any other news feed like Google Reader and such. That's my whole predicament

Everything is all pretty simple and easy on this phone. they say its a hard phone to brick.. but honestly, im nowhere NEAR on knowing how to fully build a rom (Im still learning) but flashing them on thee other hand i know well..if you are located in texas im sure we could work something out. i am currently 21 yrs old so dont let my username fool you lol.
Do I need S-Off to go up to ICS and what does it mean to install kernels in HBoot and all that mess? Like I try to read all the things the developers say but I want to learn the basic way to do things, not the "download my toolkit and it does it all for you"
First, get rid of windows. Throw the disc in a fire, or destroy it somehow.
You need linux, Ubuntu is the most user friendly.
Also, I wouldn't use a netbook for development. You need a powerful CPU and most netbooks cant do much. Most netbooks come with windows starter because they can't handle the Aero UI.
But, I move on. Android SDK, java, and some more stuff in an earlier post is what you need. Also, set up a virtual device in Eclipse to make apps easier to test without having to download to phone.
But, eclipse has this handy feature that you can enable USB debugging and connect to your computer. When you finish a build of an app, you press the button at the top and the app automatically compiles and goes to your phone. You can go from editing and building to testing on the actual device in 5 seconds with one button click. It is awesome.

K.. first off.. you can upgrade to ICS from GB if you're S-on.. but if you're S-on, you can't downgrade I.e: (S-on example) if you're on V2.11.605.10, you can upgrade to a version higher than that like v3.14.605.10.. but once and if you upgrade to v3.14, you can't go back to ANY version below it.... If you're S-off, you could.

Yep this works for anything that is used to flash the x10 or other phones along these lines were java is needed, it will set your PC up for a long time to be honest with other programs that might struggle to use java when in a 64 bit environment.
Ok, I dont want to get ripped on, i try stay quite on here but i have for the last two days been getting ' java' is not a recognized etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both 64 and 32 bit programs, also change file path to C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin and also tried C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin i am at loss for what to do, i am not a die hard but am thought i was decent with computers up until now. Any help would be so much appreciated.

No issue,
Uninstall all the java you have installed, were on my Vid i have 2 if you have the 32bit and 64 bit of both you should have 4, then do a restart on your PC/Laptop and then follow my video guide and you will be sorted.
OK, uninstalled all java, restarted.

Java issues at Step One
I'm having the same trouble as above, and I am on a 32 bit machine. I've been at this for the past 6 hours. I have confirmed & reconfirmed my phone's ID # using regedit. I have reinstalled Java as above. I have extended the Path string to find jre6. (What is (x86) for, is it necessary on my machine, as it doesn't seem to be part of the path?) I enter flash mode on the phone & immediately "press any key" but the script still gives me the same Java errors as above.
I have watched and read the tutorials extensively. Please.....what's up?

You need to go back in and remove the x86 bit, as you are on a 32 Bit system every program you have is an x86 program.
This fix was purely for the phone on 64bit systems as there should be no issues on a 32bit system you see.
Chances are your issue is your Device ID

Ok i will explain it to you! you can give the money to da_gnarf so he can desepair with it! but the day after when when you switch on your phone you will find wp7 on your HD2 you may feel little pain in the ass ! dont worry about it! it was just da_gnarf passing by last night
Ubuntu & Winmo7 are still in alpha stages. Few things work. If they work, they crash easily.
Read the reviews of WINMO7 ... souunds like a bad Windows Vista: no apps from WINMO 6.5 will work. Limited hardware choices for manufacturers. Ultra-tight copyright border-guards everywhere. Won't work with latest Flash.
hey someone know how can i flash any windows vista 64b in my lovely hd2
ey that is just in question ?...
HOW TO: Put WP7 on your HD2
1) Download and flash a task29 ROM.
2) Download and flash SPL 2.02.0000
3) Download WP7 ROM from xda.cn, extract, rename it halechk.bin, place on SD card.
4) Flash it.
(I am not responsible if you actually do this )
Buy HD7 and take the screen from the HD7 and assemble it to fit perfectly on the HD2 using scissors, and don't forget to cut out the "Windows Phone" logo and solder it to the back of the HD2 case, you can also dual boot android using the same procedure with the Desire HD, and then just solder the logos on and off to change OSs.
Good luck mate!
EDIT:
BTW, I forgot to mention you don't have to change the screens if you're looking to dual boot, it seems the HD7 and the Desire HD use the same screens!, how convenient!
dude... i bricked my phone.. :O XD
no just kidding
but i think in a few months, we can be proud on our hd2's

I just LOL'd all over myself!
Maybe I don't know the whole story, but from what I have read.....
Even if there was an available ROM, it's hardly even worth putting on your phone.
Why do people wish to make their phones do less.
I am not slagging on WP7, but I just don't see why all the fuss to load a locked up OS.
Wait 6 months or even a year till all the watchdogs in the sofware are nix'd and the XDA team has had a full go at working the bugs out.

Im looking for the boot animation for OS 1.0. Can anyone help me out?
I think if you remove the bootanimation.zip from your system media file when you boot up you get the basic old school boot animation. Its basically just the word "android" with some metallic looking effects.

That sounds like the 1.5 (or 1.6) boot animation. The 1.0 animation can be seen at around 1:30 of this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2eh46U0KSo
Ha ha, I would like to have that old animation back
Maybe you can download the Android 1.0 system image for the SDK emulator, though I think Google stopped hosting anything below 1.5. Of course, you could also find an old ROM on XDA for the HTC Dream like JesusFreke's root ROM and take the animation out of there.

Have you tried renaming it to a .zip and unzipping it? or just trying to open it in winrar/7-zip at all?
Just a guess, but most of the time obscure .*whatever* extensions are just zip files renamed
I'm the guy from the G1 forums
And yeah, I tried to rename the *.nbh to a *.zip. No dice.
I then tried to use Emulator, but anything below Cupcake is non-existant.
So finally I gave up and dropped the G1 back to the RC29 build, had to re-root it. Problem is, I am now searching every folder to find out where this boot animation is. And yes, I have checked the /system/media (only has Audio) and there is nothing in the /data/ folder, so the two common places are out the window.
I have yet to give up, but that's because the girlfriend is baby sitting. I have two more hours to try and find this thing before I call it quits for the evening.
EDIT: Apparently there's an archive of all the old SDK packages. This interests me. So I am going to do an install of the first 1.0 SDK (not the Beta Builds) and try to get the ball rolling.

Speaking of satan....Thanks bro.
OK, so you're hosed with your request. Apparently, the boot animation is locked until at least Cupcake. So I can get you the Cupcake boot animation no sweat. But when I flashed my G1 back down to stock 1.0 there is no way to run Super User on it. You have root access, however when running something like Terminal Emulator and type "SU" you'll still get permission denied errors even though you have root access. Lame, I know.
So for giggles, I adb pulled every file from the root of the phone. No dice. There is no animations, period. Even searching every friggin' *.png file, there is nothing there for the boot animation. I can flash a new boot animation to the phone, but all that does is mask the original one, which is hidden somewhere in the *.nbh file. However, either I am not smart enough, or there is no way to do it as of yet, but I cannot get into the *.nbh file, period.
So I figured "OK, I'll try an emulator". That also failed, as the earliest emulator I can find is the emulator for Cupcake. So I then tried to use the emulator to flash a different ROM, which failed because as it reboots it goes back to stock Cupcake. Which is lame (they should really have a save state or something).
The next step I tried was downloading an older version of the Android SDK. Again, nothing available to me until Cupcake. I could have possibly loaded it in Eclipse, but I don't have Eclipse and don't prefer to have Eclipse, and I doubt that it would have made a difference since searching every folder in the SDK packs turned up nothing. I even loaded the SDK packs on my Mac, just in case there was a different set of files. Nothing.
Since I'm still on 1.0 I did try to do an ADB Shell, but any command gives me permissions issues. It's probably because of the root issue with the stock image. I don't really know, I just know I can't do it.
So my final attempt was that I downloaded a *.nbh explorer for the Windows 7 phones, but it doesn't work because of the signing issues.
Ultimately, you're not going to be getting the boot animation from me. I've tried and failed Sorry man. Good luck though!

Its just a zip file, so it needs to be put in /system/media folder and then change permissions to look like this:
If anyone wants to make it flashable, feel free.
If only I was skilled enough with photo editing software...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13243471#post13243471
I know I should post this to the new thread in the Gen8 Android Development section, but I'm new to the forums and can't post there yet. We know the kernel is fine since we get the kernel and modules from Angstrom. The major issue I see is that Angstrom has some highly customized init.d and rc.* scripts, as well as a ton of udev and xmod files not found in kubuntu by default. The Angstrom xorg.conf doesn't even include this line:
"Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-UNITEC_USB_Touch__Win7_-event-if00"
So I'm sure if we traverse through what's in the Angstrom rootfs.img we should find our answer to at least the touchscreen.
Try taking a look at the archos-init.sh script in the /etc folder of Angstrom.
The modifications made on Angström to make it work on Archos are all told on the Archos website, (on the same page where you download the SDE, the button under the "Download AOS" one)
Well... Yes and No
Angstrom is built using a system called OpenEmbedded (OE). OE works much like rootstock but is a little bit more advanced. It not only allows you to build a .img from a certain distro (in this case Angstrom) but also allows you to build for specific embedded devices. Right now though the newest Archos devices aren't located in the OE repo yet, so what's on the site that your seeing is actually an overlay that goes over what you download from OE that has the configs to tell OE how to built for the Archos Gen 8 architecture. It doesn't actually contain any changes to the scripts or files.
Very interesting guys, thanks a lot.

Do you have any idea if I could build an ubuntu or kubuntu .img with openembedded and then apply archos's changes to that. I've been looking for some documentation but all I have found so far is documentation relating to angstrom.
While it should be possible, as you've seen documentation is lacking for OE and I've personally had a lot of issues with it just from trying to create my own stock Angstrom .img to see how it worked. Plus it just seems like a lot of work as you have to create BitBake (.bb) files for the programs you want to install, compared to using rootstock and just being able to call out the programs you want installed by default with the --seed switch.
I think we're really a lot closer than we realize to start from scratch with OE. We have the kernel and drivers in place as well as the filesystem, we just don't have a way to tell the system to load the drivers the way they need to be loaded through either udev or init.d/rc.d*.
Well the problem was with udev and I've gotten the mouse to work without the need for an xorg.conf. I'll post more when I can but I may scrap this as everyone lost interest. I'm building a new image from Natty instead of Maverick anyway where udev isn't so flaky.

ive actually been waiting on a work img, the last one i used just gave me an error msg. i'm not afraid to test anything out.

Here are some semi-complicated instruction for creating a bootable KDE mobile install on Archos gen 8 devices for self.

I tried the instructions listed there and they DO NOT WORK. Here's what I did step by step. When I boot the device into developer mode, I get the boodting developer editon screen, but never any hits of kubuntu.
Interestingly, if I try to restore a backed up copy of the Linux Angstrom img it won't boot that either. I have to go back and re-install the SDE to get it to boot in developer mode again.
I try to run ubuntu on my machine.
I did root and unlocking the bootloader and superuser + busybox I try to start ubuntu after I installed everything according to instructions in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962023
In "terminal monitor" that:
su <return>
cd / sdcard / external_sd / ubuntu <return>
sh ubuntu.sh <return>
He writes that he claims the UBUNTU but he just does not respond.
From what I gather I need to file "ubuntu.sh" fit to AMAZE
i am sorry about my English.
somebody know somthing? plz?

Did you post your question in THAT thread?
get Linux Installer from the market.
after you study. then use it;
after a couple builds, you will have a better idea about why you couldn't get the ubuntu.sh to work.
Linux Installer and tutorials and (and I kid you not) GOOGLE is your best friend.
the above formula worked for me. after a couple months of research and trial and errors, I have a functional and built from scratch Natty build.
one more thing- aptitude is your friend -install it with apt-get first and switch to it from apt-get soonest.
I could talk for hours, but I would hazzard a guess, as pointed out in the post above, that others , in the very forum you linked, as well as others on this very site, that these others have already talked about this for hours and you have a vast array of knowledge at your fingertips, or is it mouse pointer, either way..good luck
really just meant to say that Linux Installer from the market worked for me.

So you got ubuntu installed on your Amaze 4g? I'm using the stock kernel and it doesn't look like it has loop device support. What Rom/Kernel are you using?
Yeah I was about to say, hold on a minute, when did someone get Ubuntu running on the Amaze? I must've missed that announcement. I mean I know they got it running on a select few other phones (like the N1), but never heard anything about it running on the Amaze.
Ok so I was just able to boot ubuntu successfully. I can confirm this works using Energy Rom with stock Kernel. The problem was I was trying to install from my external SDCard not the internal. Followed the instructions here: http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/
Only issue I am having is with apt repo's but otherwise looks good!

Yea I am with you all this one I am calling BS. I would be nice to have it thought
Apt-get is more suited when installing a large amount of packages as it works out the depends faster. Otherwise Aptitude should be used. That's direct from experienced Debian developers.

I used the Ubuntu.sh method at first and for it working. Then I found out about the complete Linux installer app and have successfully ran Ubuntu 12.04, backtrack and debian.

There's an app that makes it easy to get ubuntu on Android. It's called Complete Linux Installer, search it up in the Play Store. It works for me. I actually used it so I could get hamachi running. It connects but doesn't work with it tries to connect with other devices
