Today version 1.0 of Postphone has been released. Nerver forget to call back again!
You can find the promotional page here.
Technically speaking:
When you compile android apps, sometimes you can see this message:
-compile:
[javac] Compiling 12 source files to /home/max/Projects/Android/postphone/bin/classes
[javac] Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
[javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
Now, how is possible to find the API call which seems to be deprecated?
$ ant -Djava.compilerargs=-Xlint:deprecation debug
The above command will show you what you were searching for:
[javac] /home/max/Projects/Android/xxx/src/net/mx17/xxx/Yyy.java:212: warning: [deprecation] getNotification() in android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.Builder has been deprecated
[javac] Notification notif = notificationBuilder.getNotification();
Recently I came across a Stackoverflow question about sample code in Android SDK.
The user was asking how to import code in an Eclipse project.
I’m not using Eclipse in my Android projects so I answered with command line instructions. My development environment is based on vim and bash.
My answer was a bit off topic, but can be useful to someone else.
Let’s presume you want to compile LunarLander sample.
You need to copy the directory recursively to a new path and work on it with the android command:
$ cp -r $ANDROID_SDK/samples/android-15/LunarLander .
$ android update project --path LunarLander/ --target 3 --subprojects
$ cd LunarLander/
$ ant debug install
You have to check the targets available to your system with the following command:
$ android list targets
Let’s be honest: starting from zero it’s a huge process, but it’s possible.
This procedure is a bit complicated and needs some skills.
I can do (and I did) almost everything from GNU/Linux.
A super clean phone (no data and crappy bloatware).
One of the most recent mobile operating system: Android Ice Cream Sandwich.
All the goodies provided by CyanogenMod: the ROM I installed is MiniCM9.
Everything working great: camera, wifi etc. (I admit I have to check tethering…).
The instructions are provided only to show how reached my goal.
Please follow them at your own risk. Stop if you are not in my same situation.
We have basically 3 things to do:
Without an unlocked bootloader, you can’t install a custom kernel.
Without a custom kernel, you can’t install ICS.
As pointed out by Fabian in his comment, it’s safer to copy the files you’ll use at the end of the procedure when your phone is still fully functional.
So, connect the device to your pc, use it as an external storage and copy these files on the sdcard
I presume you’re starting from the very beginning, so I think you have a locked bootloader.
To fix this situation you’ll need some software:
This is the most difficult and dangerous step. The risk is that the phone get bricked. Be careful.
Probably you should read the full story here. There are reported some incompatible situations. If you have never unlocked your bootloader, probably you can go on as I did.
The software you downloaded is written for Windows types of operating systems.
I rewrote the cmd script and made a bash script.
Many kudos to xda forum user “the_laser”, I just translated his work.
You have to follow these steps:
$ 7z x -omsm7227 msm7227.7z$ mv msm7227_semc.sh msm7227/$ cd msm7227/
$ ./msm7227_semc.sh
see my outputYou have successfully unlocked your bootloader and now you can now install a custom kernel.
You’ll need flashtool utility and the ftf image file containing the kernel to flash and the recovery software.
Follow these steps:
$ 7z x -oflashtool flashtool-0.8.0.0-linux.tar.7z
$ tar -C flashtool -xf flashtool/FlashTool-0.8.0.0-linux.tar
$ rm flashtool/FlashTool-0.8.0.0-linux.tarIf you find yourself in troubles, keep in mind that everything can be repaired with a full system restore through SEUS.
We are almost at the end.
At this time you have an useless phone which cannot even properly boot.
It’s time to flash MiniCM9.
If you followed all steps, you are now in ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
On the step number 0, you should have copied the files on the phone’s SD card. It’s time to use them.
If you skipped that part, you can still do the job via Recovery:
Follow these steps:
The first boot can be a little slower. I saw nAa logo, than CyanogenMod boot animation for about 5 mintes, than the first use Android wizard.
If everything went well we reached our goal.
I found that ICS for Xperia X10 Mini Pro is fast and stable.
You can always revert back with a full restore or you can just install a different ROM.
Chromium has a proxy setting page, but brings you to your distro proxy configuration panel. In my case the Ubuntu system settings.
If you need to set an internet proxy only for Chromium, you can start it with a special command line parameter:
chromium-browser --proxy-server=http://192.168.43.1:8080
