[android-developers] Controlling Android init process / staged boot

2011-02-25 Thread ale
Hi,

I am trying to achieve something like a controlled or 'staged' boot
process, where I can make sure that a specific program or script is
executed first in the init process and then the remainnig services are
started.

I was able to start my own services from the init script (init.rc) in
Android, following the guides found at:
http://www.androidenea.com/2009/08/init-process-and-initrc.html or
with the official documentation found at
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/core.git;a=blob;f=init/readme.txt;hb=HEAD

There is a trigger called on service-exit-name where 'name' is the
name of the service which has to exit before the actions of this
trigger are executed.
However, this trigger does not seem to work. I started a small shell
script as a service and created the trigger accordingly to start all
remaining services afterwards. The init process seems to be stuck
after the execution of my script and does not continue with the
remaining services.

Example layout:

on boot
#default entries

# changed from start of default services to class initialize
class_start initialize

#service section for my own app to be started first before anything
else
service runfirst /system/bin/logwrapper /sbin/myapp
class initialize
oneshot

on service-exited-runfirst
#start remaining services
class_start default

# further service descriptions, e.g.
service zygote
...
etc.

Any help on that subject is very much appreciated.

Hi Kostya,

thank you for your reply, with your hints I worked out all my
problems ;)

 Ale,

 1 - You can model your notification on the type of interface callback
 mechanism used by Android views and widgets:

 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setOnCl...)

 In your case, you'd define your own interface with a notification method
 (onCountdownReachedZero or something).

 2 - Search for declare styleable. This is the first link from Google:

[android-developers] Loop Mount system.img file of Android emulator

2010-11-22 Thread ale
Hi,

is there a way to mount the system.img file included in the Android
emulator from the SDK. I tried to loop mount the file but mount keeps
telling me that I need to specify the FS-Type. I think they are YAFFS
type but I am sure that this forum knows how to mount the image so I
can access the files in the image.
Any hints are welcome.

Thanks,
Andreas

 I don't have any experience on it , so my question is: what is the

 have any examples I can see ?

 Like the project :Cab4Me(http://www.cab4me.com/) , Does it have remote

Hi Hong,

how can I unlock it in US?

And what about You can buy a G1 here..., do you refer to the 399$
G1? I've been told they don't sell it in T-Mobile stores.

Anyway, if it si unlocked either the 3G and the EDGE will work

 You can use GSM calls/sms, wifi at your country.  3G will obviously
 not work.  EDGE might.
 But wifi should be good enough.

[android-developers] Re: T-mobile G1 for testing purposes

2008-10-27 Thread Ale

Sorry Timbobsteve,

I just realized I made a mistake in my previous email: I wrote free
device but I did'nt mean free of charge but free of lock, unlocked. I
realize it was quite stupid, sorry for my english.
My concern is that in my country Android is not going to come until
2009 and I would like to buy a G1 in USA but I don't know if the ones
that they sell in T-Mobile stores are unlocked or not. I know that the
full price is 399 but will I be able to use the device abroad, with mi
SIM?
Can you explain me more about the 90 days unlock? I mean, if I came to
the USA and I buy a G1 how can I unlock it after 90 days? Is the
unlock something like a software update or it is a physical
modification?
Thank you very much!

AB

 My guess is that you may be able to get these devices straight from HTC,
 if you have some sort of developer connection (and if they support that
 kind of setup)... otherwise you have to buy into the contract like
 everyone else. There is always the option to get the contract and after
 90 days, request the phone be unlocked. From what I hear T-Mobile are
 quite good with that kind of thing and usually oblige.

 My 2 cents... I'm now off to find some free donuts and free coffee and

[android-developers] Re: T-mobile G1 for testing purposes

2008-10-27 Thread Ale

shadowdrakken, I know that more phones are coming out with Android,
but apart from the USA, the situation is quite confusing.
In many european countries we still don't know when and if Android
phones are hitting the market.

I will try to buy a G1 next month in NY, if it will not be possible I
will take one from eBay, like Timbobsteve suggested, even though I
don't still know if the ones from eBay are real G1s or fakes.

Anybody knows something about the unlocking after 90 days from T-
Mobile? Is that a software modification?

Anyway I read on some blogs that in T-Mobile stores they don't want to
sell G1s at full price, so I think it will be very hard to get one in
USA...

 Sprint has been waffling on it, saying they will have Android phones
 soon but at the same time saying Android isn't good enough yet (I
 think they mean it's not big enough yet for them to invest into)

 so just hold tight, they're coming, and they will be big :)

2008-10-27 Thread Ale

I agree with you: I think the G1 on  eBay are fake, anyway I will
check the auctions feedbacks.

In Italy, we have Telecom Italia that is in the open handset alliance,
but there are no info about an Android release date.

Anyway I hope in the future that it will be possible to install
Android on other devices, like Nokia; it will be much easier for
developers... especially not in the USA.

 As it takes 90 days to get an officially locked T-Mobile USA device, I
 am assuming that all unlocked G1’s currently listed on eBay are fake.
 I am also unsure of how well a device apparently *optimised* for T-
 Mobile USA 3G frequencies will perform on my local network.

 Ironically, for such a developer centric device, they are starving the
 community of phones:
