I am writing an app and for one of the features I need the firmware build number.
I know I can get the firmware version(like 4.1.1) with android.os.build but I need the build number of a rom(like "Rom version 1.0") thats stored in build.prop. I know I can parse the whole build.prop file and extract the 1 string of information but is there another way to get is faster and that it doesnt require root to use?

So, I've just started create my first Android ROM, for my Galaxy Note. I'm now enjoying my break from school, and what could be better then spending it developing? Well, let's start!
I've downloaded two ROMs that a friend of mine has created. He's right now on vacation, so I can't ask him.
My first problem is probably a simple one. But how do I change the "About Phone" section? I understand that I can't change the model number, or the Baseband version. But how do I change the Build number so that it shows my ROM name?
Remember do tell me idiot simple, due to the fact that this in my first ROM.
anyway I can have my ant build automatically increment the version number in the AndroidManifest.xml file?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAny way to get the version/build number programatically? I dug into Settings source code, it indicated that this info could be read from the file /proc/socinfo, but this file doesn't seem to exists on any of the devices I'm working with?! Wondering where else I might be able to get this info.

The reason i'd like to know this is that I have a workaround for a bug in Android 2.1 (and 2.2), and this workaround will break the moment the corresponding bug is fixed. So right now i'm in the odd position of hoping that the bug won't be fixed (at least not until I can find an answer to above question).
We are using Hudson to automate our Android build. I need to incorporate the build number into the version string used in our app. Was wondering if anyone had an example of doing that before I (re?)invent that wheel. Obviously I need to replace a string value in one of our config files.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy HTC Hero have Build Number of : 1.79.482.3. Is there any way to root this type since I found that all of the way to root here is for the phone with Build Number of 2.73 ?
Here are the complete specification of my phone :
Model Number : HTC Hero
Firmware version : 1.5
Baseband version : 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernel version : 2.6.27-8dd6deee; htc-kernel@and18-2 )
Build number : 1.79.482.3 146733 CL#49365 release-keys
Software version : www.HIAPK.com 1.2_g3_sense
Everyone probably has the exact same Build Number, but than again, maybe a couple don't. So after a search, I was not able to find a thread like this, so here it is. I just received my X10 yesterday and per Sony Support, my X10 has the current OS. So here is my info:
Firmware Version: 1.6
Baseband Version: 1.1.32
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-rel
Build Number: R2CA016
I have a phone with a MT6577. The vendor (Wiko) published the kernel source code. So, i'm trying to build it. I can get the zImage. I converted it to boot.img but i can't boot with it on my phone.build a good zImage? (if you want to try) : URL...

I'm pretty sure it's a MID here is the link to where I got it from. 8G 7" Android Tablet 4.1 Dual Cam Keyboard Case | Trade Me. I have tried all the different power volume button combos that were suggested on web, also have tried downloading the program to my pc to share info with the tablet, but the information sharing must not be turned on in the tablet, as when the device showed up in my computer it was empty! Where I purchased it from will send me a Getroot, but I have to pay and I'm not sure if this will even work!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the Android 2.2 source code and try to build it. When I executed the make command, I got an error here like this build/core/java.mk:20: *** frameworks/ex/common: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. Then I changed the frameworks/ex/common/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7. Next place, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/jsr305: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/jsr305/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
Last one, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/guava: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/guava/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
By these changes the code started the compilation.
1. Why the error occured?
2. Changes which I did is correct or not?
Basically, i use my personal cell phone for work and personal use, i have multiple exchange accts that keep things sorted and seperated.
recently though i have been getting more and more business calls to my cell phone, during and outside of normal business hours.
what im looking for is an app that will take a selective group of contacts/phone numbers/CID strings and if it is a "business" call then forward it to a specific phone number (external number, the actual business line).
I have seen apps on the market and around that will forward calls to voicemail if they match certain filters, but i cant really seem to find an app that will forward to an external number. Any way I could accomplish this?

I would like to forward all calls to my number on to the new predefined number automatically. Is it possible to forward incoming call? Probably it is possible for Froyo at least. I found application called Easy Call Forwarding. But many people reckon it dosen't work actually. We can notice forwarded call by onCallForwardingIndicatorChanged() from PhoneStateListener but I have no idea how to set forwarding mode.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of learning to build android from source. I've got my AOKP rom booting and am working on adding superuser to it, and am running into troubles. After much googling here is what I've done
Cloned Superuser source code
Code:
git clone git://github.com/ChainsDD/Superuser.git packages/apps/Superuser
Copied the su binary from my current rom (/system/xbin/su) to my device tree
Edited device.mk
Code:
# Build superuser
PRODUCT_PACKAGES :=
Superuser
# copy su binary
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES +=
device/lge/E973/su:system/xbin/su
Everything built fine and Superuser is in my app drawer when rom boots. If i try to open Superuser it force closes. Root checker shows that i am rooted, and typing 'su' in terminal emulator gets root access. Neither will give me a dialog asking to deny or grant.
If i install SuperSuperuser from the market, it will present all the normal dialogs and everything seems as it should.
Here is a logcat of the failed attempt to open superuser
Code:
D/dalvikvm( 2157): Late-enabling CheckJNI

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy company has recently received some new android hardware and has requested that I create a custom operating system for the device. The manufacturer has agreed to provide us with the existing android source, but I have a few questions to get started:
On the following link: [URL] .......
It states that I need to add lines similar to the below to my "51-android.rules" file:"
# adb protocol on maguro/toro (Galaxy Nexus)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="6860", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
How do I determine the correct information to use for this process? Should I collect this information with the device connected to a windows PC?
Once connected, I would like to scrap their existing operating system and begin from AOSP source, what information from their original source should I retain (Kernel, bootloader, etc), and what information would I be required to remove to bring in AOSP?
But most seem to be specifying nexus devices, or devices which already have a strong developer backing, neither of which apply to this hardware.
