1, firmware, firmware brush
Firmware is the software solidified, English for the firmware, it is to write a system program to a specific hardware system flashROM.
mobile phone firmware is equivalent to the system, flush the firmware is equivalent to the brush system. Different mobile phone corresponding to different firmware, the brush should fully understand the current firmware before the firmware and the firmware of the merits of the brush and compatibility, and fully prepared.
2, ROM (package)
smartphone configuration ROM refers EEProm (electrically erasable read-only memory can be written) similar in the computer hard disk, mobile phones can store many things to see if he capacity. End of package update package referred to as a ROM package.
3, firmware version
firmware version is the official release of firmware version number! Which contains the application and baseband part of the update part of the update, the official launch of the new firmware, the main purpose is to repair the previous years, there is a BUG and firmware to optimize performance related.
4, CID, SUPERCID
CID is CustomerIDentity short, is simply a platform for mobile phone version, known as the CID after the break limit SUPERCID.
Brush the process need to CID-tested SPL ROM is available, and decide whether to brush into, under normal circumstances required by law to correspond with the CID ROM can, cid different rom is the brush can not get . For ordinary CID, the general has two limitations: 1) can not brush into the low version of the ROM, 2) can not brush into the different platforms of the ROM, for example: in Taiwan version of the machine brushes the European version of ROM, ROM, etc. across the brush model . SUPERCID some phone models can limit the CID to crack software, known there are 577W, 586W and so on, but there are also some models there is no effective way to break the CID, such as 838G4.
after cid limit break is called SUPERCID, the machine can brush with SUPERCID any version and platform of the ROM. Specifically, a mobile phone with both brush Taiwan ROM, you can brush the Japanese rom, rom Hong Kong can also brush and so on. You can even brush into one of the other model phones ROM (such as the 586W brush 577W). But it also brings great danger, because there is no limit, no parity, an error brush into the ROM is very easy. We generally need to break the Brush SUPERCID, because in most cases now the one hand, brush machine is used to pass the CID ROM checksum; the other hand, in case of brush failure, the mobile phone is easier for SuperCID repair.
5, HTCSense, Motorola Blur, Samsung TouchWiz , etc.
HTCSense for the Android system design, user interface. Starting from HTCHero, HTC launched the all products will integrate HTCSense. And meet the three design concepts, including MakeItMine, StayClose, and DiscovertheUnexpected.
Motorola Blur is based on the Google Android platform application interface, in addition to the basic features of the Android addition, Blur most prominent feature is the emphasis on social networking features. Blur has now integrated a lot of well-known social networking components, including Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, MySpace, Yahoo, Picasa, etc., as long as the user Email account bound with social networking, from the information on these social networks automatically pushed to mobile phones.
Samsung TouchWiz This technology allows the dynamic drag and drop icons and interface smooth handoff. In all fairness, all of Samsung previous “command and control system” can only be regarded as semi-finished products! Only in the non-touch system touch system is modified it. The TouchWiz mode of operation is completely different, and several mobile phones before, and whether it is operating or input method menu interface is very suitable for finger control. Apple multi-point technology and the technology is almost, is not the same as it is called!
6, Recovery
general, said the project is a brush machine interface. If you had installed the system, you probably know dos interface or winPE, install the Recovery equivalent to the system security of a dos interface. You can choose to install the system recovery screen, clear data, ghost backup system, restore the system and so on. Brush and brush rom do not conflict recovery.
7, APPTOSD, APP2SD
some Android machine when the installation program is installed by default on the machine memory, which will lead to the original much memory is occupied, the speed reduced, but utilization is very low memory card case. APPTOSD is to install to the SD card to free up phone memory to improve the speed of the mean. APP2SD no exception, but harmonics only.
8, Root
Root privileges with our Administrator rights under Windows system can be understood as a concept Root is the super Android system administrator user account, which has a paramount right to the whole system, all the objects that he can operate. We only have this permission can be refreshed for the revision of the original system of systems, such as simplified Chinese system.
9, RADIO
Radio is a simple wireless communications module of the driver. ROM is a system program, Radio is responsible for network communications, ROM and Radio can be separated from brush, independently of each other. If your cell phone to refresh the ROM after communication problems can try to refresh RADIO.
10, ROM category
generally divided into two categories, one is from the official mobile phone manufacturers original ROM, is characterized by stability, function with the vendor-specific and are different; the other is the development of enthusiasts to the official release of source code self-compiled native ROM, is characterized by the specific needs of the user to adjust, to make ROM more in line with consumer behavior in different regions.
11, IPL, SPL
IPL English name is InitialProgramLoader, responsible for the motherboard, power supply, hardware initialization process, and into the SPL RAM. IPL damage that can be thrown into the river a mobile phone, or by changing font to resolve.
SPL English name is SecondProgramLoader, “the second loading system” is responsible for loading the OS operating system into RAM. SPL also includes many other system commands, such as mtty used in orders. SPL damaged burner can also rewrite.
SPL generally provide some of these functions: Detection of mobile phone hardware, find system boot partition, boot the operating system to provide basic maintenance for the system user interface, through the data line and the terminal (eg PC) to establish a connection and to receive and execute the corresponding command. It contains many commands, like r2sd, l, doctest (dangerous command, he would erase gsmdata) and so on. We often say that the three-color screen is driven by the SPL. Detect the SD card when you make some special SD card inserted, SPL can check at startup according to brush machine or the SD card content to execute commands. This is somewhat similar to the PC from the floppy drive.
IPL and SPL version can be viewed in the tri-color screen. Hold down the camera key, then press the power button to boot into the tri-color screen to view information.
12, Sign
Sign Rom is to sign the application package or Apk, only signed off Apk Rom or brush into the can or installed to the phone.
13, Cyanogen, CM
Cyanogen is a foreign cattle, their production CyanogenMod Rom popular series, is the main pursuit of speed , CyanogenMod abbreviation is the CM, which we have common CMROM.
14, adb
adb is AndroidDebugBridge acronym, meaning the system for the Android Debug Bridge. By adb we can respect in Eclipse to debug Android applications by DDMS, in fact, this is for Google Android system debug debugging tools.
adb work is rather special, such as the use of listening SocketTCP5554 way to let the IDE port and Qemu communications, will default adb daemon associated network ports, so when we run the installer when the adb APK on the process will run automatically.
In addition to the operating functions, we can also manage the device or mobile phone emulator adb state. Can also be a lot of phone operations, such as brush ROM upgrade, run shell commands, and so on.
