If I undertsand well with the root applied we are sticky on the old kernel. To solve the problem we could is the old kernel to boot a new one as here:
embeddedarm.com/software/arm-linux-bootloader.php
What do you think?
Ciao Angelo
Ok at the end I thinked how to load alternative rom without modifying the bootloader (e.g. froyo).
1) we need to root the X10
2) we must modify init.rc to load a new kernel or enter in recovery mode
3) we install 2nboot-ng wiki.xvilka.org/index.php?title=2nboot-ng (motorola milestone has the bootloader locked as our X10)
The scripts of the recovery mode must not flash /system but they must copy the files directly onto /system.

This sounds good. Isn't it similar to HaRET for Windows Mobile?
Theres a ton of potential on the X10 i dont get why so many people don't like it..
anyways I'm working on trying to get apps on the SDcard with CM mod (I'm close)

It's only because of the lack of multi-touch.
We'll be able to use froyo anyway, if we can get this bootloader running - whatever SE do. Then nearly all of the features of the X10 can be used.
Just a question concerning Android
If i got it right,
1. Android is running as a virtual java machine on top of the linux kernel
2. SE uses a newer kernel than other donut (1.6) androids
3. Java VM boots AFTER linux kernel and system
4. we have root, so we can modify the init.d (boot) files
5. so wo could let files be launched at boot time
Woldnt it be possible to insert a shell script that after booting linux kernel and before starting the java vm replaces the java vm files so that on top of the SE 2.6.29 kernel Froyo is running?
That way we wouldnt need to modify the bootloader. Only problem (?) ist that we are bound to the linux kernel settings made by SE (as we cannot overwrite the running system).
just an idea to discuss ....

I'm very very interested in deving for X10, I have extensive knowledge of linux and kernels
but anyways, android is running a Java VM? really?

Yes it can be done in /init.rc. A better solution (instead of copying files) could be to chroot the envinroment, so you teorically could have more rom (one for each directory in /system). Remain however the problem you cannot run a modified kernel (you need a boot loader like 2nboot-ng as I said before).

Hi Angelo!
chroot sounds goot, but could be a space/speed problem. On SD there is enough space, but it is slower - so that could be testing ground. Internal Rom is faster, but if original is not overwritten space could be limited.
Concerning modified kernel: Is that modification really necessary for running Android 2.1? If i remember it right N1 uses a similar Kernel for 2.1 as SE for 1.6?
Greetings,
Bax
Lets keep this going and hopefully get a working 2.1 system

There are interesting patches to the kernel as overclock for example. I think we can use the original kernel at the start and then we can create a new one kernel from the sources.
Ciao Angelo
That sounds great!
Another limitation i remember is the limited RAM use in 1.6 which is probably also a kernel/driver problem ...
(i think starting from 2.0 or 2.1 the full RAM area is usable)

We might be able to use the information already tried on the motorola milestone which also has a locked down bootloader.
http://and-developers.com/motorola_milestone
this has information on the kexec option
Also the mot_boot_mode hack looks promising. I don't have any idea of the boot up process of the X10 but hopefully this would work.
"mot_boot_mode hack
A.k.a. the Newton hack. The init.rc script resides in the signed boot CG, so we cannot alter it. But it happens to exec /system/bin/mot_boot_mode, which we CAN change once we run as root, since it's located inside the system CG. By moving mot_boot_mode to mot_boot_mode.bin and creating a shell script as our new mot_boot_mode, we can get the system to run commands of our choice such as mounting partitions, etc. This is the earliest we can tap into the boot process, and it is early enough to let us introduce hacks such as APPS2SD, making better use of /cache, and other useful stuff. We could even branch to load a new kernel using kexec like mechanism."
Yes I know it is not the X10 but hopefully we can learn from work already being done on the motorola milestone.
seems like an interesting idea, I hope some of the devs have time to work on this while dealing with the issues with root. They might be taking a well deserved break which is fine.

I'm not sure I understand this, but does this involve loading a another kernel after the flashed one, to boot into another rom?

Is there a module for the QSD8250 snapdragon chipset?
Hello all,
Was thinking if there could be way to have some android live versions of the rOM images similar to the OSes having Live CD/DVD Where in you could boot up your machine with the Live CD/DVD and work on the OS from the CD/DVD.
We could have all the different ROM mods being put on the SD card, boot up the phone via SD card and test the ROMs before really flashing them on to the Phones.
I know the Gurus and geniuses here can make it happen.
Waiting for this to happen.
I am not sure if its version 1.5 or 1.6 but after one or the other Android stopped being able to boot to x86 chips. Which means you could build a live CD to do this but it would have to be a relatively old version of android. I believe google did this because if I remember correctly they were starting to support x86 architecture on chrome.

I am not sure If I was clear. What I am talking here is about having a mechanism for the Modified Phone ROMs to be on the SD card, boot up the phone with the ROM on the SD card and test the ROM before flashing it on the Phone.

I believe he want's a way to test the roms on his phone using some kind of a virtual machine type of program on his phone.

I do not know of anything like this for the phone itself, but what you can do is get the Android SDK and use the emulator to run the rom you want to run and test it out that way.
Cody,
Thanks for the hint. I do have the andoid emulator installed on my machine and will try your suggestion. I have interest in developing some apps or even compile the android ROMs . Will have to start somewhere.

Devs always make things easier for us... Thx bro
Uploaded a new version, 3.1, bug fixes and Now Show FULL bootanimation, not only the loop part
EDIT: Uploaded 3.11 , now preview resizes to bootanimation size (tested with LDPI, MDPI & HDPI)
Will this work with tablets?
Is it working with Galaxy S on stock ROM...?
do i need rooted phone for it ........?
dont work on my system... no bootanimation will start after coping a "bootanimation.zip" to bootanimation-folder. Nothing starts if i press on the bootanimation what will show up in the list.

Same here... No boot animation.. Updated Java because at first it would not run at all. Win7/64bit SP1.
Update* It will let me backup but not sure if I should try to push lol. On NS4G just playing around.
Last update lol* Ok just did the backup boot then pushed another boot and then pushed backup back and it works! BUT will tinker with program more. Just trying to find a way for preview to work now.
1. Preview doesn't work for 11th Doctor TARDIS bootani: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115717
2. Fails to back up current bootani, "Some Error, occurred!"
Haven't tried pushing new bootani. WinVista 64-bit SP2, Java 6 update 24 (both 32 and 64-bit). HTC EVO 4G, 2.3.3, Sense, not rooted.

you need to be rooted
The Program will not open for some reason.
I have windows 7
I have ADB
Have JAVA
but when i extract the application on to my desktop and run as an admin it will not open the program and sometimes when i open it it says the program may not have been installed correctly other times it just won't open.
am i doing something wrong?
rooted my Samsung Galaxy mini (s5570) last night. connected phone via USB, extracted Bootanimation Installer to desktop, ran as admin. Put an animation I got into Bootanimations folder, selected it and pressed Push Selected Bootanimation. But it's still not changed. It shows the operator logo at startup and usual other things. Also, when I try to backup current bootanimation, it says something went wrong. Any suggestions?
EDIT : forgot to mention that it didn't restart phone either
not working?
program not working? i tryed putting it on my desktop and the sdk folder and still coudnt preview, backup or push animations, i could however reset my phone tho a more in depth turtorial would b nice.
using windows 7 x64
Rooted HTC Inspire with Kingdom Rom.
Does it have the option to add your own boot image? like a .gif
Verified it works flawlessly on the Moto Xoom.

Here is the link to ICS (4.0.x): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941377
And here is the link to GB (2.3.x): http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread (there is also a thread on this forum)
Unfortunately the openaos site seems to be down right now (was up in the morning and last night when I answered you) but anyway I did find cm9 (ics) to be more stable and "usable" (less bugs than actually affect usability) than cm7 (gb) although no doubt quite a bit slower than cm7, but again that's me that has at least 300 apps installed on each android device and that goes back to since I had a HTC Touch Pro 2 and turned it from an windows mobile device to an android one and the specs on that were way lower than the ones on the gen8.
Also feel free to ask any questions you may have related to our gen8 tablets, I am one of the "lost souls" still using this tablet and I can say that judging by the fact that I bought this quite soon after it was released (at least in my country) I can say it has served me well since then and I still think it is a decent device (although I do now have a much better and much more powerful tablet device too, my 101it is still a fun thing to play around with).
Hello again I will give it a try now.
Any idea where I can download the kernel ?
Because the download link doesn't work on the link you gave me for android 4.

The link that you are talking about that isn't working is the kernel source link (which is actually very unfortunate) and not the kernel itself, the kernel can be downloaded from the attachments of the first post in the thread (a zimage and the initramfs.cpio.gs files)
Hello again ,
I will set it on a row:
1. Cm9 image download (ok)
2. Initramfs.cpio.gz download (ok)
3. Kernel download
(which files are the kernel to download zimage and the initramfs.cpio.gs??)
I can't see a link to the zimage ?? Can you give me the correct link?
4. Data.img.tar.gz download (ok)
Install kernel by SDE menu
(ok I know how to get in the SDE menu but what steps I have to do there?)
Where to configure menu.Ist (is that the one I downloaded in the attachements downstairs?
What about the terminal ? How to enter the terminal to activate Bluetooth?
What is the swap configuration??
Ok and one last question, at the moment my Archos 10.1 gen8 is running on Urukdroid must I remove the sd card for this procedure and reinstall the SDE firmware or not?
Or is this method for cm9 (android4) not like urukdroid method??
Sorry for all my questions but I don’t want to make mistakes.

There are a few files starting with zImage, chose one of the 3 of them and rename it to just zImage (no extension and don't extract it although when youu will download it it is an archive, just rename it to zImage and I can't really tell you which one to choose cause I do not know which of the 3 will work best for you, I personally use the 35% one.
To flash it you will use the same procedure as for urukdorid but you will loose access to urukdroid, though you don't need to remove your card and also AFAIR the OpenAOS multi-boot menu does not have the ability to boot at tablet boot (or I am wrong, not sure) so you might have to reboot in recovery and run developer version each time you want to boot it.
You could also use kboot for even more multi-boot and being able to still use urukdroid, I think I posted a mirror for the files on it's thread, or at least I wanted to, if I didn't I will. BUT if you do want this first backup the urukdroid kenrel and initramfs, I can tell you how to do it if you intend to do this, if loosing access to urukdroid is ok for you then I'd say don't bother, uruk isn't that great, you can get the same things on stock after getting root on it, though I could still recommend using it as that's the only way to have rooted stock using the kernels here on the forums or being able to boot also GB and/or debian/bodhi/whatever other linux distro you fancy.
For the OpenAOS boot menu you indeed need to download that menu.lst and put it on the storage, it is already setup for booting CM9 so you don't really need to do much more here.
Swap is already configured so you don't really need to do anything about that or worry about it, it's just info and for the bluetooth I think terminal emulator comes preinstalled so you do the commands in there but I would recommend creating a bash script and downloading SManager from play store and using that to create a homescreen shortcut to your script (I could also share you my script if you would like later after I charge my archos.
Also there is no initramfs.cpio.gs that was a typo, it's actually .gz so you have the right file and the kernel is the zImage.
In the SDE menu just do the steps you did when you flashed urukdroid but only place the initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage without a 3rd file (if I remember correctly the steps for flashing urukdroid), I can't really tell you what steps to do in there as I don't really remember, it's something like go in the repair menu and click flash developer firmware or something along those lines I think.
EDIT: Also if you intend to edit the menu.lst file for whatever reason (if you want to use kboot to add the CM7 kernel and use that to boot CM7 and/or debian for example) don't use windows notepad, instead install notepad++.
Ok this makes some things clear to me
Yeah is also a long time ago urukdroid installing.
I found the guide from it but it seems idd similar to your explanation.
https://code.google.com/archive/p/urukdroid/wikis/Installation.wiki

2. I did uncompressed data.img.tar.gz, I choosed one of the 3 images and renamed it to data_ICS.img
3. I did copy the 2 files to the root.
But what now how to install it? That's not specificly said how you must do it.

You need to also drop the menu.lst file on the internal memory and have the cm9 image named as CYANOBIZ_BETA2.6.img then just got to recovery and boot the developer edition firmware and you will be greeted by a boot menu with just one item, click power and it will boot and that's it.
You don't really install anything, the tablet will boot from the img file and use the data.img file as the data partition, that's all (and if you decide to move any apps to the sd card aka internal memory don't boot in an other android os like stock because the android_secure folder will be wiped, though I am not sure CM9 allows you to, I know CM7 does).
Also I have uploaded kboot and it is on the thread in the development section if you want to use that for more flexible multi-boot (or at least to have the multi-boot menu loaded at every normal boot without needing to enter recovery to boot ics), although now it will be a bit hard to obtain the uruk kernel in case you still want to boot that, it is possible, you just need a linux computer or the ext2fsd driver in windows, I can't really give you the kernel from my installation of it since I understood yours is on the sd card and mine is on the internal memory.
And if you would like I can give you kboot already set up with the stock root kernel and all the 3 ics kernels to make it easier for you.
Ow ok will try tomorrow.
Euhm yeah urukdroid is no more on tablet I think I installed last sde firmware.
The kboot is that for switching between then Linux similar system and android 2.2 and android 4 and maybe urukdroid if I reinstall it (not necessary for the Moment?)
Yeah I will try out that kboot you may send it to me if you want. Maybe it's cool feature
Thanks in advance

If urukdroid was on the internal memory and you just installed the sde firmware it was not removed and I can send you my uruk kernel, if you first went to recovery and did a full format and then installed the full firmware and then the sde then it is no more on the tablet.
If it was on the sd card then nothing affected it unless you put the card in the pc and used something like minitool partition wizard to delete all partitions and I can not give you the kernel.
Yes, kboot is a chroot based multi-boot menu (think GRUB but unable to boot non-linux kernels, I think) and it allows booting android 2.2, 2.3, 4.0 and linux distributions as ubuntu (although the ubuntu for archos files are gone but you can still use it to boot the kernel from OpenAOS and boot debian from that bootmenu, which will be the same boot menu you will get from android 4.0 though you can not boot stock or debian from that as the kernel is different, well you might be able to boot it but most things won't work, like wi-fi and the likes).
Ok, I will send you my already set up kboot but first tell me if your urukdroid instalation was on the sd card or internal memory and what you exactly did to the tablet cause then I might be able to throw in my uruk krenel and thus you will also once again have access to that as well.
Hello first of all I wanted to say I just got into android 4.4.
But when I start it up I get a lot of messages that are saying.
This application doesn't work anymore.
Any idea what this could be?
Hmm after looking I restarted it and now it works better the android 4.4
But how do you put something on the internal memory if I connect them with usb to laptop I can't acces the root with all my files.
Greetings

It is clearly stated that you can't access the internal memory via msc on the ics thread, only the sd card, and that is also true for any firmware that boots from an img file since the img is on the internal memory and that would mean cutting the system's access to itself=crash.

Hello again,
Owkey now if I start up my tablet android 2.2.1 startsup
(firmware version: 2.4.83)
I did set the iso file from cyanobiz_BETA2.6.img on my internal memory.
So cm9 boots nice on the tablet but I must go first to the SDE (by pushing volume + ) then a see a white menu -> developer edition -> and chose cyonade and it start good
Urukdroid was installed on my sdcard but that doesn't start anymore as standard at moment. don't know why?
Before I started with cm9 I installed the latest SDE firmware for archos 10.1 gen8. (and the procedure to runb cm9)
Would it work with your kboot file so I can choose between:
android 2.2 (Archos),
Android 4 (CYANOBIZ)
Angstrom (openAOS)
urukdroid 1.6 (not in the menu)

Kboot will make it load at boot so it will go to the boot menu instead of stock 2.2 from where u can choose what to boot or (after a period of time) it will just boot your last selection.
Yes from Kboot you can choose to boot any of those though I really wouldn't recommend Angstrom (I don't even think you can still find a rootfs.img for it, if you still have it on your internal memory please upload) cause it is really limited and also I don't think OpenAOS made a kernel for Angstrom and it'll be quite hard to get the kernel from the SDL aos package (though I do have a kernel that can boot it directly, compiled from the stock 2.2 sources, NOT by me). In theory you can edit the menu.lst to launch Angstrom for it but remember you must edit it with Notepad++ and not any other windows text editor (notepad, word, etc) and you will need to know the format for booting a linux image file (I can tell you what that is) and just add the OpenAOS CM7 (gingerbread) kernel also and use that to boot Angstrom, never boot ANYTHING ELSE when loading the boot menu with the ICS kernel, you will have the same options but you must always remember you CAN'T launch anything else than ICS when launching the OpenAOS boot menu with the ICS kernel. But if you are actually interested in running linux I'd say just go the debianlxde way (download from OpenAOS site) as it is so way much better than Angstrom.
To boot UrukDroid you will need to either have linux installed on your PC/laptop or boot a live cd, put the MicroSD Card in a card reader and connect it and then search the uruk partitions to find the zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz (they might have some slightly different names) and put those in a new folder in the kboot os folder, of if you want I could probably unpack the UrukDroid install and update packages to find the right kernel for you but as I can't really remember what tools I need for doing that you will have to wait about 2-3 weeks (I have exams and also bought myself a Nintendo New 3DS XL that I plan to hard mod after I finish with the exams and do a nand dump and try to edit the firmware and flash it back to see what I can obtain so that's gonna take me about 1-5 days as I am not the best with soldering things on motherboards). You will also have to wait that exact same amount of time if you want me to tell you from where on the UD partitions to find the kernel files as I do not know myself and will have to search for them.
hello, this is my first time posting in the forum and I apologize if by any chance I have wrong section of the forum to present my problem.
Basically my problem is this:
Until yesterday with my android device "Samsung Galaxy TAB A" android 7.1.1 version I could play the game "Match Masters" which you can download the apk directly from here "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funtomic.matchmasters&hl=it&gl=IT".
As of today opening the game I get a screen where it tells me that in order to play the game you must have "Android 8 or higher" on your device. I will preface this by saying that I have not updated the app which was working perfectly until yesterday, so I assume the android version check is done server side. I ask if there is a way to circumvent the device version check by going to modify the apk? If yes, what is the procedure?
I thank you for your help.
I also attach the screen with the message
Modifying an app's version would require to rewrite its APK.

I have downloaded the application "APK editor Studio" which allows you to edit the APK game file in all its parts and then automatically recompiles the new file already signed with the signature in order to install it. The problem is that I don't know what is the string in the APK file that sends the device version check. If I could block or modify this string so that I could make the game think I was using an Android 8 phone, I would be able to play again. Is there any gurus in the field of APK editing who can direct me on how I can edit the file? Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you.
So you want to fool the app about tablet's Android version? If so then that's a complete other thing: this can be done by modifying Android's system file named build.prop what is located in partition /system
Note: Editing build.prop requires Android is got rooted and re-booted after changes made.

I modified the file you told me by writing the Android 8.0 version but unfortunately opening the game always shows the same screen. I also tried using the emulator application "Bluestacks" on the computer but my computer does not have the requirements to virtualize the game. Is there any emulator that can be installed directly on the tablet that goes to emulate another device?
