[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinetyWt:
I purchased a stylus from Amazon which is sold by BoxWave. It's just a generic capacitive stylus.

I've not been really impressed with it, it seems like I have to push down fairly hard to get it to work.

I have not used it with any note-taking apps yet.

REVISED: I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I like it. I am using it on my Aria as well. Very good for the price. :)

This one works. My friend has one for his ipad and i tested on my g tab. Not sure where you can get one though. The tip (unlike my other stylus) is not "rubber". It's soft (really soft) -> can be pushed in with minimal strength.

Edit: It seems to be from 3M and heres a video showing how soft the tip is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiA-pc2ssMA&feature=related

Edit 2: Im now stuck on Youtube because it seems utterly good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXgxAJf9j-g
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
So this is why my backups usually give me a md5 mismatch, and I end up re-doing everything manually (or using titanium when possible)-

I've been renaming the backup folders to something meaningful, like "4-1-11 SFR110Vision11"

All this time I've just been screwing myself. But it's OK, because I learned something.

Q- Is there a way I can determine what the original folder name was??? to change it back?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Hi Everyone!

I was trying to change the sales code using remount command by rotohammer but at terminal emulator and ADB I get remount: not found.

ROM: Overcome 1.4.2 with 2.1.2 kernel

Terminal Emulator

ROOTED.

Regards.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainbow ng:
Dear DarkPal ,

if u only want to actually change your product code, u can use SGS csc selector

after that when it reboot u , it will see yellow words show

"installing multicsc-XXX" XXX is the product code.

For the overcome rom, there have 7 product code for u to choose, but I don't exactly know which is for your country.

To verify , u can connect it to KIES and it will show your product code.

For the ADB issue, which kind of flashing process u use? hemediall or odlin?

I sometimes can't have ==> adb devices as I have 2 I9000 and 1 TAB, always flash TAB and I9000 for my friends. So the usb driver sometime can't work. as too many device have being connected. If this happened, I will try step by step in the following until the driver work again.

re-install device driver by KIES

adb kill-server and than reboot the computer

control pannel=>system manager=>device manager=>uninstall samsung usb driver and than connect the phone and window will reinstall the driver.

regedit user-local-key =>samsung=>kies=>deviceDB=>clear all things and then reboot

usually these steps will let me redetect the device

But in some older rom of I9000 , it never be connected as the rom fault in USB connection app. But this will not the case for overcome rom itself as I tried it before and have no issue,it work fine..

hope this help:)

p.s. if u just want to hack KIES, use spoofFW, it have some preset product code for the western country, after hack you can update through KIES to the newest official firmware of your own country.

p.s. use this command in adb shell or terminal emulator on your tab to get in to csc selection section:

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.Preconfig/com.android.Preconfig.Preconfig
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
ADB does detect the device my friend and gives it a number. The issue is that some commands in adb are not working. Remount command being one of them.

I flash through ODIN.

Thanks for SGS selector :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
bump.

I still get the remount: not found which is rendering ADB not usable for me. Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarLog:
I asked the same question a few weeks ago, using same odlin.

I was hoping rotohammer would chime in and state the issue.

Went to Android SDK and downloaded all they said to get, and still no remount. :(
[Droid X General] hanone:
Why can we not download .zip files on the new gingerbread leak? I want to try the new themes put out but having to always do it from a computer is quite tedious
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Have you tried using a different browser such as dolphin or skyfire?
[Droid X General] hanone:
No I'm using the stock browser I don't really care for the alternates, I was able to do it on froyo. I flashed a lot of themes that way while I was at work
[Droid X General] dkranes:
I just downloaded the TBH tether zip using the stock browser on rooted gb. Works fine for me.
[G Tablet General] jph8tr:
My gTab is running VEGAn 5.1.1 w/supplement. If I play a mp4 and let the tab go to sleep, sometimes when I wake it the audio will be off (still on according to settings) or even worse there will be a repeating white noise. The only way I've found to get audio working again is to reboot. I've tried the stock player, ES video and Mplayer, same results. The tab is rock solid otherwise, no errors or fc's. Any ideas?
[G Tablet General] kaffeesnob:
I have the same issue with my tablet running Vegan 5.1.1. It also happens sometimes just after you wake it up. I made sure last night that sound was working and this morning after wake from sleep I tested it right away and there was this horrible 'white noise' again (which can't be turned off even by muting and lasts for 5 seconds).

Search reveals some people having this problem, but I could not find a solution. I'd really like to know if it is a software or hardware issue so I can decide whether to send it back or not.

Would a reinstall of the rom help?
[G Tablet General] gbabasd:
audio noise

I am running VEGAn GE 7.0.0 on two different gtabs and have experienced the same white noise issue described above. Occasionally when waking up I have experienced a blast of white noise from the speakers. Sometimes it stops on its own (after about 5 sec) other times I have to reboot.

Has anyone found a fix for this yet?
[Omnia 7 Accessories] evolutionqy7:
Found a great website for skins :) http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Samsung_Omnia_7

Theres alot of pre set artistic skins and if you cant find what you like you can create your own custom one on the website :)

I live in Ireland and it took two weeks to get it from the USA. Though you can opt in for express delivery that costs more :)

The skin is very nice and HQ. Solves the lack of grip on the handset and protects from scratches :) So pretty happy that i can ditch my sillicon case that adds on thickness
[Omnia 7 Accessories] xdamir:
Awesome mate! where'd you get it?
[Omnia 7 Accessories] evolutionqy7:
Address above :) www.gelaskins.com
[Omnia 7 Accessories] Forzahibs:
These look great , can you describe how they fit please ? (can't work out exactly what they are)

Cheers
[Omnia 7 Accessories] evolutionqy7:
They come on a sheet of vynil with

Like a template. Its like applying a screen protector for the rest of the phone. It takes a bit to get right :)

Just dont push it down as soon as you apply the vynil cause you will need to take it off and reapply to make it straight and stretch to cover up all the places correctly (i can guarantee that) :) Took me 5 mins and i was taking it easy :)
[Omnia 7 Accessories] Forzahibs:
Sounds great . I bought a slightly slidy case like another in this forum which is good but this sounds much better . As long as it helps with the grip issue
[Omnia 7 Accessories] evolutionqy7:
Yeah since it doesnt increase the size of the phone dramatically like a plastic case would
[Omnia 7 Accessories] Forzahibs:
Aye that's the attraction for me , ordered the "mod" one :D
[Omnia 7 Accessories] CONTACTMC:
I hate plastic cases, they make a high end phone look cheap, I always get gelaskins for my devices. This is mine:
[Omnia 7 Accessories] Forzahibs:
Mine arrived today , will fit it later on or tomorrow
[Omnia 7 Accessories] nfalco79:
FANTASTIC! I want order immediately two.
[Omnia 7 Accessories] nfalco79:
@evolutionqy7

your gelaskins provides a screen protector or front cover should be mounted over my current screen protector?
[Omnia 7 Accessories] evolutionqy7:
No screen protector :(

Id say just put it over the actual skin
[Omnia 7 Accessories] CONTACTMC:
My screen protector covers the whole face of the phone, so I put the skin over it.
[Omnia 7 Accessories] ordas:
Could you please link this Xbox case? I can not find it on their homepage :(
[Omnia 7 Accessories] evolutionqy7:
I made it myself. Just found an Xbox Logo on bing and moved it into their custom skin wrapping app on the website :) Its easy :) wasnt a fan of the skins they had.
[Omnia 7 Accessories] ordas:
Thanks alot, I´ll try it :)
[Omnia 7 Accessories] Maddogg_cz:
My new skin from gelaskins... made by myself :)
[Omnia 7 Accessories] hexxor93:
That looks so cool :P I need to get me one of those Eboy ones :P
[Omnia 7 Accessories] DAVIZINHO:
I order one yesterday.

But i have a question, if you put a screen protector and the this skin, the butons responde good???

2 plastic over the butons maybe are excesive, ¿?

Other method is cut the screen protector and adjust to fit with the screen, i will try it :-)
[Omnia 7 Accessories] Qtek8020User:
Very cool site :D
[Omnia 7 Accessories] Biffert:
Got mine to :-)

As a developer... well, you get the idea :-)
[Omnia 7 Accessories] :
The OP's white skin looks pretty amazing. I've always thought the rear of the Omnia 7 was ugly, but the skin seems to pretty much fix up my hesitations. Will be purchasing a skin to compliment my recent Omnia purchase!
[Omnia 7 Accessories] evolutionqy7:
I took it off :) got bored now :) Need something new now :) was thinking of something like blood bright red :D

Or illuminum orange :)

I love the way it says designed for HTC Samsung Omnia 7 :D
[Omnia 7 Accessories] :
Haha yeah, made me do a double take.

I will probably go with white or a black pattern. I would like to try a brighter / more daring design but I can't be bothered replacing in a few months down the road when I grow tired of it :rolleyes:
[Omnia 7 Accessories] evolutionqy7:
Well your gonna get bored of it sooner or later. I had my xbox skin for around 4 months around month 1 i got sick of the front and took it off and went back to black. Then got bored of the back around month 3 ;)

THats why their replacable skins :) They make the device more joyfull till your mood moves on :P
[Omnia 7 Accessories] DJBlaster-303:
some are really cool, and the option to make your own skins is awesome, thinking about buying one
[Omnia 7 Accessories] :
It's more than I can't be bothered going through the whole ordering and application procedure again. I got mine and think it looks fantastic, I guess everything ages over time though.

What does bother me is whether I'll be able to take off the front part and reuse it once I replace my screen protector. Does anyone have experience with this (I know you can reapply if you just put it on, but how about a few weeks down the road)?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
What you need:

1.Root

2.Custom Recovery

3.Any ROM like LOL, MEGATRON, VOID, ETC ETC.

Tools

1.Root Explorer

2.Set CPU

3.Titanium Back Up

4.Absolute System root

5.Kernel zips (mik/cave/sippolo)

6.Metamorph app

Now many people say they do not like this rom, they don't like those system apps, I want to over clock, I like soppolo's kernel, I want new boot animation blah blah blah.

So here you go:

1. Flash any rom.

2. Want different kernel, flash it.

3. Want to remove those nagging/unwanted system apps: use root explorer /titanium backup

4. Want to add system apps : paste in system/app folder and set permissions as rw, r,r.

5. Want to overclock/underclock:use SETCPU

6. Want to change boot animation/fonts: use Absolute system root.

7. For themes use the themes section. Or use Metamorph.

8. Want apps2sd: order Titanium Backup to move all your apps to SD. In one click your all /data/ apps are moved to a folder called mnt/secure/asec. You don't need to create ext partition.

Or

Flash darktremor

Guys this is not actually rom development, but customization/modification only.

But don't you think so many roms are actually modified versions of one rom? (Though I myself get excited to see new roms)

Actual rom development is like porting gb / cm / miui.

Just a teaser, but it might be practical for some.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
Guys this is just a teaser only. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Actually I myself always look forward to new ROMS.

MOD can move it to general category.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ungaze:
this is actually good, but i think a different title would fit better. maybe "rom customization", just an idea. btw, some roms wont wosk with those methods, for example.

boot-animation changer wont work if the rom doesnt support boot-animation customizations, although this is rare.

metamorph wont work with non deodexed roms. very rare but do exist

so i'm just suggesting some few notes about it

[Atrix 4G Android Development] wrldsuksgo2mars:
Note: network connection tracking does not work

This means that after you connect to VPNC, disconnect from VPNC, turn wifi off, and then turn wifi back on, your connection will be hosed. As a workaround, you can run the VPNC widget settings pane and retoggle wifi. This resets the network state.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] victorhora:
It's working perfectly on the Brazillian version of Atrix from Claro carrier.

I really wanted the possibility of compiling other modules for my Atrix stock kernel.

I really wanted to use some volume encryption functionality... As such a tool does not exist natively for Android, I`m thinking about using some kernel functinoality such as Loop-AES, LUKS, DM-Crypt or even some userspace FS for encryption (FUSE).

So, could anyone point me where i can find the source code for the Atrix kernel to try to compile those modules for it? I really think that this could be a great thing. One of the very fews things that i miss on Full Linux.

Thanls in advance.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eltipo:
Victor, are you using the stock kernel with this or did you need to recompile it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] victorhora:
I'm very sorry for the looooooooooooooooong delay in the answer.

And yes i was using on the stock kernel (Claro Brazil Android 2.2). Now i'm trying to use OpenVPN on the latest 2.3.6 official rom and it's not working anymore... :(

I'm thinking in some workround... any ideas?

Cheers.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mgamerz:
The tun.ko module doesn't work, I was going to compile one for 2.3.4 (at least the stock kernel) but it seems my desktop killed itself, and I'm not going to install linux on my laptop (it seems to suck with booting from CD, and USB doesn't work... no idea why, but it works fine with Windows Discs)

Might consider using Faux's kernel, it has TUN/TAP (I've never tested though)
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
I generally understand how SIM cards work in the GSM world, but I am curious as to how it works within Verizon. I know Verizon uses both SIM/4G and CDMA in one phone.

So my question is, if anyone has two Thunderbolts handy:

Can you swap the SIM cards between the two units and will the phone number and data usage STAY with the SIM? Or will the phone number STAY and the data usage MOVE with the SIM? Or some other variant? Or will you need to get a new SIM and/or call Verizon to reactivate the SIM when you move it?

AND, are you swapping between two Thunderbolts on the same account or different accounts?

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] youneek:
Verizon told me it works just like GSM.

Sent from my Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] ripster:
From my experience yesterday with swapping my dinc and bolt numbers you can not swap cards. Had to get a new sim card to swap numbers.
[Thunderbolt General] fuzio1963:
SIM card is assigned to your phone number, and not to the phone itself. If you exchange your phone, but you keep your phone number, you can use the same Sim with new phone. If you put your Sim into a different phone with different phone number, even on the same account, and even it would be a TB, it would not work.
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
I only believe half of what comes out of a VZW CSR and about 10% that comes from a sale rep at a VZW store.

Looking for hard examples.
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
DINC doesn't have a SIM, but interesting info.

Looking for a hard example that is two Thunderbolts on the same account or separate accounts.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
The TB is there first sim card phone.
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
I'm confused. At first you say the SIM is assigned to your phone number and not the phone. Later on you say the SIM in another phone with a different number, does not work.

"If you put your Sim into a different phone with different phone number"???

You can only have 1 SIM card in a thunderbolt at a time. Are you speaking from experience or is this what VZW told you?
[Thunderbolt General] ripster:
Never said dinc has a Sim card. In order for me to change the number on the TBolt i had to get a new Sim card. So you can't swap cards like gsm.
[Thunderbolt General] shaddix2:
Why does being unable to change your number without getting a new sim mean you can't swap the sim card into a different phone.

You can move your sim into whichever phone you choose, which as of now would be from one tbolt to another tbolt, no need to call verizon or anything. You will be able to simply move your sim from tbolt to the samsung droid charge or the bionic when they come out if you wish.
[Thunderbolt General] Morkai Almandragon:
Actually you can swap the sim cards between phones, I have done it. The reason you had to call was to activate your number on the sim.
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
The phone number is tied to the SIM like GSM. I got a replacement shipped to me and swapping the SIM back and forth did all the activating.

When I got a new droid shipped to me I always had to call and tell them the MEID of my new phone before it would activate.

So, when you stick your SIM in another phone, that phone get's your phone number, data, etc. the same as a GSM phone.
[Thunderbolt General] fuzio1963:
In other words.....he has dinc, and he wants his dinc ph number on his new TB. He never said, dinc had sim.....;)

When you change the phone, you are "taking" your phone number from old one to the new one. Then, you don't need a new sim card, cus you still have the same phone number on your new phone. But, lest say, your friend has TB as well....if you put your sim into his phone (and vice versa), your sim will not be working. (it won't recognise his ph number as yours - the one it has been assigned to).

Yeah, true!! But you have the same phone number on you new/next handset, right?
[Thunderbolt General] jinvox:
I switched from T-Mobile and a Nexus S to a TB hoping that the SIM card swapping works the same. A couple year ago Verizon had a press release about being more open to devices so I hope that it means the same deal as I used to be able to pop my SIM card to any upcoming LTE phone
[Thunderbolt General] fuzio1963:
:D

No, T-Mo is a GSM, and VZW is CDMA. Verizon SIM is only for DATA.
[Thunderbolt General] jinvox:
Darn oh well
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
Have you tried this between two Thunderbolts or are you just assuming this works?

I assume it to work too, but I want to know if someone has actually tried this.
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
Between two Thunderbolts?
[Thunderbolt General] ripster:
Yesterday i called *611 CS and tried to swap numbers between my dinc and tbolt. He did in fact switch numbers but the sim in the tbolt was deactivated. He might have screwed up something but told me he could send me a new one or i can take it to a verizon store. I was still able to make calls with the tbold but didnt have any data until they program a new sim card.
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
Missed this one. Thanks for responding directly to my question.

My last question is, can you swap it between different accounts? The phone sent to you was to be activated on your account. Can you take any strangers phone and SIM swap?
[Thunderbolt General] madman34:
The answer is YES

Guys, I work in the VZW switchroom in LC Ohio and have done the following: Swapped SIMs between 2 TBolts and it swaps the totallity of the 2. I took my active SIM and put it into a LG 4G USB aircard that had never been activated or even pulled out of the box and my phone number and data use went there and worked. Lastly took and placed into a Pantech USB that was in use by a field tech and deactivated and again all is well with my SIM in it. All possible scenarios have been tested and found by me to work. The reason the SIM must be changed for a new on upon deactivation or a number change is that the phone ityself cannot perform the necessary write to the secure memory area of the SIM. Proof: Note that in the ##778 where we would edit the 3G DUN Id to make the mobile hotspot work in the DINC is not editable in the TB. This is because all this is in the SIM and not rewriteable by the phone. Hope this clears it up ;-)
[Thunderbolt General] jinvox:
Wow great to know!
[Thunderbolt General] tyarbro13:
thought someone here would have the answer, how do i get a new sim card from verizon after having bought a thunderbolt already
[Thunderbolt General] shaddix2:
Get from store if lucky or call Verizon
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
Thanks.

What about making phone calls with the SIM from a LG 4G USB aircard inside a Thunderbolt. There is no voice plan. How would you be charged?

Secondly, what about using the SIM from your Thunderbolt in the LG 4G USB aircard? The Thunderbolt is unlimited, the 4G aircard SIM is limited by the plan, say 5G for example. Why would Verizon allow this? There is no point to subscribe to a data only aircard plan, when you can just swap your Thunderbolt in for cheaper and unlimited rates. Am I missing something here? If this is the case, the unlimited plan is dead for smart phones.
