Android :: Drivers Removed From Mainstream Kernel?
Feb 4, 2010
Why isn't Google playing nice with regards to the Linux Kernel Android code? Greg KH says the Android code is stagnant and as a result got removed recently: http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/android-kernel-problems.html
I know for a fact Greg KH bends over backwards to help Linux Kernel developers maintain their code, so hearing this news about the Android drivers being removed is very troubling. Hearing about all the hardware companies that now cannot get their own Android drivers into the main kernel is the worst of it. Google seems fairly evil lately, but everyone who should care (fellow Android developers, I'm looking at you) seems to just want to put their hands over their ears and sing "la la la la".
Android is not being handled in the true spirit of open source, and Greg KH's assessment of the situation is even more proof of that fact.

Does anybody know if the new desktop kernel patch written by Mike Galbraith can be applied or modified to be used in the android kernel?
Tiny Linux Kernel Patch Delivers Huge Speed Boost - PCWorld Business Center
I haven't messed around with android kernels yet, but I have applied it to my current Ubuntu 10.10 system and you can see the difference. Its like night & day!

where I have got right now on my phone, which is:
1. I updated to stock 2.1 using the sprint update tool.
2. I followed the video tutorial to root the phone
3. then i used joey's page (http://www.joeyconway.com/sdx/custom/index.php) to install the his kernel (joeykrim-SDX-kernel v2.0.4 (includes root)).
I have done nothing else to the phone but this and removing a couple of bloatware apps (i checked the list of permitted deletions before i removed anything.) I have not installed a new recovery..at least i dont think that I did as part of one of the other operations I performed (as an aside, i am not really sure what the custom recovery is or what it is used for, so i didnt install it...i guess i need to read up more...)
So that is where I am..but i have a couple of questions.
1) i am now having issues with my wifi connection - the signal reception is very spotty in areas where i should have atleast 2 bars of reception, and the wifi often cuts out completely....Is there any know corellation between joey's kernel and this wifi issue? I have searched the forums and have found nothing that answers this.
2) Is there an easy way to get back to the stock kernel? I have read that i can get back to stock everything by using the sprint download center where I did my original 2.1 update. But is there a way to get back to just the stock kernel without wiping the phone?

I currently have bekit 1ghz kernet installed, but I was interested in trying out some other kernels. Can I just install them via Rom Manager over the first kernel? Or is there some kind of uninstall process I should use first?

It seems that DrivingDirections have been removed since Android API 1.0
What's the way now to display a map with two points (one of them might be the current location, but can also be any other location) and the direction from one to another in Android 1.6?

I seem to be having a problem with Android ListView. I'm trying to delete the selected item from ListView. The delete method is working and will allow me to delete as many items from my list as needed, but whenever I scroll to the bottom of the list (after atleast 1 item has been deleted) I get an Error that closes the Application.
Here is my code:

I've had a one star rating on a new theme I released and as It's the only rating it looks terrible. I would accept it if they just didn't like the theme but they say it force closes and does not work which after thorough testing, I have never been able to replicate, whats even more annoying is that in the listing we have put our email incase anyone gets problems then they can contact us to get them rectified.

I removed the Android Battery Manager widget by moving it to the trash bin because it was taking up too much room on the home screen. I thought it would still be located in the Adroid Widgets queue, but it is not. Is there a way to retrieve it?

My company is looking at upgrading from WinMo Intrepids to possibly Android phones.We are with Sprint so only those phones are being looked at.Couple of questions from an enterprise mind.Android 2.2 updated exchange policy support so some of our concerns are being met.My biggest questions are relating to Sprint ID and the Android Market.One does anyone know if you can totally locked down Sprint ID? As in not allow other ones from being downloaded and installed. Basically to give us a way to lock the phone down with what apps we want.Next big thing is can the Android Market be locked down/Blocked/Removed?Remember these are going to be company phones mainly being used for exchange email, not personal phones to play around with eating up data.Generally just looking at ways to keep the phones secure from all the nasties out there. We are looking at the Optimus S which is why I bring up Sprint ID.For my side of it, I would generally be against this. I own an Evo and love tinkering plus I will be the one developing in house apps for us to use.

I removed the pull tab sticker off the back of my Droid X. Does this in ANY way hurt the phone????
I read that they will replace the phone under warranty.... I still have the pull tab and put it back in, is it worth risking getting a refurbished phone?

I have a ListView. When I click on a ListItem, I set the background of the ListItem (it's view) to another color:
CODE:........
Here is my adapter:
CODE:......
The problem is, if I select multiple rows, then multiple rows have a colored background. I only want the clicked item to have a colored background. So if I click on row 2, I want it to turn red, then if I click row 1, I want row 2 to go back to normal, and row 1 to turn red.

Noticed in Android 4.4, Google removed one of internal functions in class, DexFile:
native private static int openDexFile(byte[] fileContents);
which is capable of performing loading dex from byte-array without going through reading the dex file on disk, which has proven to be very useful

Just got a HTC Legend and am very keen to get into Android development (having previously been expirenced with eclipse/java/gwt).
However, the USB ADB driver on the SDK doesnt support it, so I wondered how I could add it myself.
I feebly tried adding;

to the inf file. But it didnt help. (mainly because I have no clue what I was doing)

I am currently having issues installing my G1 in development mode on Vista 64 Premium SP1. I have tried both installing the drivers that come with the latest SDK and also the ones here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446274.
Whenever I plug the phone in it comes up as an unknown USB device under device manger. When I go to update driver and point the installer at the correct driver location it either says 'the device driver is up to date' or when using the have disk option it says 'the folder specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device'.

I have two machines, one a WindowsXP32, and one 64. Both with AMD64 chips. I have eclipse on both, and the SDK on both. I'm using the usb drivers with the HTC Legend (http:// groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/ 2b54d2ce1202b04b/dd6f9152cd50d64b?lnk=gst&q=usb+#dd6f9152cd50d64b).
On the 32bit one things work just peachy. Device recognised, and debugging working fine. However, the 64bit one doesn't seem to recognise the device. Windows recognise's the device, and windows device manage shows it, but "adb devices" lists nothing, and nothing shows up when trying to manually launch from eclipse.

I'm trying to use the SWM and when I have everything all set up it tells me I have no device set up. I looked to see if I could find drivers for me Xperia X10 and all I kept getting linked to was the sony PC companion that apparently had those drivers installed. When I installed it and did all the set up stuff it still wouldn't recognize my phone other than as a removable disk. I have the USB debugging turned on, .Net framework installed, and supposed the drives yet it still won't read my phone.

I just got a tattoo this week and have had a few problems, and thought I would post what I have seen so that other tattoo users can either add to the list, or respond with solutions or workarounds they have found.
1) many apps from previous android phones are not available (presumably this is because they are "incompatible with the smaller screen resolution, but I suspect that many of them are just incorrectly tagged for 1.5 sdk or earlier, but would likely still work with donut-1.6) but could easily be made available with a tiny bit of tweaking.
2) the HTC Mail widget can't be removed (or moved) from the second screen to the left on the Sense interface. Why even bother with this one over the gmail?)
3) speaking of Gmail - somehow it only accesses the messages which are actually to my gmail address, and not to other addresses which are forwarded to my gmail (and are always in my gmail inbox) do I need to install google gears to get this working (which is not, as I found out quickly "gears for android" as listed in the marketplace) as it does on my laptop?
4) All of this is would be easily solved if someone has just figured out to root this thing... I started along the hero donut instructions I had seen at unlockr, pressing the down volume rocker while turning it on.

I have an app that uses a database. At startup I check to see if my tables are missing and if so I create them. Works great.
I've noticed that if I "adb uninstall" then the next time I run my app the tables are created again (this is what I need), but what about when updating through the marketplace?
I'm in the process of releasing an update, and I've made major changes to the tables. I'd like it if the tables were completely wiped and re-created, in fact my app needs this to happen. If someone updates and has the old tables then there will be a force close. Does anyone know the specifics of this scenario?
My tables are only for lookup, I store no user data so I dont really care about losing data on the updates.
Of course I know an option is to use some type of "version" table and check to see if I need to manually drop and create, but I was wondering if that was even needed.
