Sorry to bring back a year old thread. A friend of mine has this phone with no warranty. It is Boost Mobile stock unrooted. He tried a factory reset and that didn't work. I tried to catch the logcat during a reboot but while connected to the computer for several hours it never rebooted ( maybe...

A friend of mine has a Suamsung Galaxy S II from Boost Mobile. It has been randomly rebooting on him. I offered some assistance, though I am not an expert (perhaps slightly beyond a novice). I am going over to his house in a few hours to pull the last kernel message and to run ADB to and...

Cool, someone else found the link. My lazyness. Going over the article one more time I realize, I was wrong. It is actually only $30 for 28 days of tracking. Not that it matters, unless your government is wrong on some issue and stalking protesters who disagree with them.

CNET recently posted an article about the cost of cell phone tracking being a big factor in why they want to be able to track people that way instead of actually following them. So the cost of being able to monitor your actions via your cell phone is a major factor in them trying to strip...

I left Sprint after the first month. I bought one account, my first bill was for two plans, either someone got a month of free service on me, or no one got free service and I had to pay double. I just stopped paying and kept all their fancy gadgets I got with the contract, I am not sure how that...

bump Where can I upload some files to for free? Apperently my root-fs's and zips are too big...

How to add glibc stack to Android, bringing out the Penguin within. Important note: I am still working out the kinks, learning, etc. This is not ment to be a daily use rom, esspecially what I put up for downloading and testing. Consider them teasers to get you to build your own. Downloads...

My bad, as soon as I got into recovery I flashed a known working zip. I am going to keep trying to build a custom kernel but I would like to figure out how to configure it within my source tree and let it get compiled with a rom. but here is a cat of /proc/last_kmsg just incase it survived...

Scratch that, I pulled the battery and pushed the buttons more cautiously (nervous shakes), in recovery. What do ya think it coulda been? I disabled paranoid networking, removed CIFS, and changed NFS to Modules instead of built-ins. Edit: I'll try cross compiling on my lap-top, maybe had to...

Well, I hope all is not lost. I took my last working zip I built and used an archive manager to crack it open, I replaced the zImage with the one I built on my phone. Then I replaced all .ko files that where built in system/lib/modules and closed the archive. I flashed it to my phone and...

If you don't mind me asking, Why Ubuntu Touch, what makes it so much better than just adding /lib, /bin, /usr/* , /var etc... as empty folders in ramdisk and then mounting to them from linux.img mounted during boot with a custom init.linux.rc, x11 based gui programs wont work obviously, but I...

There is a pppd-ril option in the kernel, hope that helps.

I just successfully built a kernel with my phone over nfs (wifi). I used gcc-armhf or rather to be specific, when it complained I set 'CROSS_COMPILER=/usr/bin/', cleaned, and retried. Everything seems to have went fine, and as expected I have the zImage in arch/arm/boot and the modules are...

Probably not, Theoretically yes, Stick to the market and do not download apps from untrusted sources, Same goes for any system, Ever have a program ask for admin privledges to make changes to this computer on Windows? Same thing, except on Android that data the apps get access to is divided so...

I am compiling a kernel on my phone right now using gcc for armhf (if not its armel), so my question is: Do I need to us an arm-abi toolchain or what ever? I ask becasue this is not cross compiling, I have the source on my pc and is served via NFS. I have a glibc stack with Android and I just...
