[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazySmerf:
O.k. I bought Enhanced Email app ... and absolutely love the features. however since it is based on GBmail i get the dull and hard to see gray notification icon.

I was able to change this icon with the standard mail app, and even some other. i basically used the yellow one from 2.1 stock email app.

I talked to the make of EE and he said yes change it.

So i tried pulling it off the phone>open apk in winrar and replace file>push back to phone. That works until i reboot my phone then I don't have the app installed and have to deleted the new pushed 1 and rename the old one back to original name and reboot again, all work.

Then i tried using APKtool>decode -r -s "appname" "foldername", I was able to replace file.

Then i did build "appname" "appfolder", then used WADB and pushed it to /data/app

Same issue once i rebooted it would not work, but worked when first pushed.

Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? (Yes i am stil pretty new to the Android scene)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lisa21222:
I got the Woot G-Tab and it arrived yesterday. Charged pretty fast, but I had no opportunity to try it out. I had hoped to check out the installed OS before upgrading, but ended up just installing the Vegan Tab ROM with the update and the recommended kernel, but when I began placing apps (icons) on the screens, it only lets me put 4 horizontally and 4 vertically for 16 per screen. They look lost! I'd like to either be able to put more items per screen or make the icons I do have larger so the screen doesn't look so EMPTY!

Also, the soft buttons to the right of the screen include the browser, the screen you go to to place items on the home screen and a phone icon. Why is there a phone icon when this is not a phone? Is it a relic from the OS that was modified to Vegan?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] rektech:
I’m running liquid ginger bread on my droid and for a while now. I’ve been trying to find a program that i can load a .txt .doc or any kind of text file in to and the program read it back to me. I’ve looked all over and the closed i have come is a pdf app that reads pdf's to me but the problem with this is i have to convert everything to a pdf and it doesn't stop reading when i get a phone call. the only other way I’ve found is to enable the talk back function on my droid but that reads everything on the screen all the time and gets annoying.

so does anyone know of a program that i can load a text file in to and have it read to me when i hit a play button or whatever

After like ... 1 month of headaches - ordered the xoom from the US, sent to a friend, motorola botched the order, had to reorder after 1 week, then my guy had some problems and another 2 weeks delays till he actually sent it finally i managed to get my hands on my Xoom today. YEY!

I have to say i freaking love the device. It's insanely fast, and i am completely impressed by the quality build. I got accessories the headphones (those i don't like a lot - s10 hd), keyboard, standard dock, and black gel case, and i think they are all nicely done, and have a polished look.

Well it will be a while until i manage to get my hands on it actually, because my girlfriend decided to take it over and she is toying with it and won't let it go. I'm afraid the xoom is her new boyfriend :(

I still love my Xoom ! I can go drink in peace now, my girl won't even notice i am gone YEY!

Thanks Motorola Xoom!

[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
I was reading

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010807

I found that on my device the sdcard was 179:16 (and sdcard2 is 179:24). I downloaded SD TOOLs from the market (free) and did some tests. A few runs at the stock size (128) showed write speeds of 5 to 8.5 and read speeds of 13.7 to 15.3.

At 2048 write speeds went up to about 9.5 (can't explain why) and the reads shot up to almost 28 to over 31. Best results if you can do this from a clean boot or with little running, I'm sure.

So this seems like a worthwhile fix. Quick web browsing session with Opera was ok so doesn't seem to cause any grief.

I'm using VEGAn which doesn't have init.d stuff, but I had already hacked up an rc.local file (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1014213) so very easy to make the changes there so that they are permanent.

So step by step:

1. Get a shell prompt. ADB or one of the shells off the market.

2. Go super user (su command, for example). Not necessary if you are putting it in rc.local or init scripts.

3. cd /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:16

4. echo 2048>read_ahead_kb

5. Repeat for /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:24

I assume we all have the same device numbers. If not, go to the bdi directory and do an ls. The major number (179) should be the same. Tell us what you have if different.

If you do the rc.local hack then you can just put the echo lines in your rc.local or any other place that runs as root at boot time.

I'll post back if there seem to be any "bad" effects from this, but so far so good.
[G Tablet General] albright:
I don't understand sd tools - I've tried many times (and after

fresh reboot) but sd tools give me ridiculous speeds, like

writes of 25MBs and reads of 175MBs !!

I'd like to believe it, but can't :rolleyes:
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
I am guessing if you hit the card in cache you get the ridiculous speeds. However, if you change the readahead you can definitely see that there is a peak (on my hardware) at about 2K with baseline performance.

The tablet seems fast with this mod although hard to say if its actually faster or not other than the SD Tools benchmark says it is.
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
this is a nice fix. here is what I use in a file called 99fixmmcreadahead in /system/etc/init.d to set this up during every boot:

/system/xbin/echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:16/read_ahead_kb;
/system/xbin/echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:24/read_ahead_kb;
/system/xbin/echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/default/read_ahead_kb;
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
VegaN doesn't have an init.d structure which through me at first. Elsewhere I posted how I got it to execute an rc.local file and I put it in there.

However, it looks like autostart and/or script manager (both in the market) can do the job also. I've been running with the larger read ahead caches for about a week now and it seems ok. Hard to tell for sure what impact it has on real work, but the benchmarks like it.
[G Tablet General] albright:
OK - I've just installed sdtools again (my gtablet crashed and

burned, nvflash resurrected it and now running tnt lite 4.4).

But my readings are still ridiculous:

write: 16.9

read: 227.9 !!!!

How do you guys get reasonable readings out of

this batsh*t app?
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Just to post back. Certainly no ill effects with this after several weeks. Hard to say if it is faster or not, but I think it is.

I know sd tools gives some people trouble.

Just now I have the following benchmarks:

SD Tools: Write 11.2MB/s, Read 18.4 MB/s

AnTutu: Write: 4.6MB/s (!), Read (13.6 MB/s)

Anyone else tried this?
[G Tablet General] mernst2:
OK since I have no thread posting abilities I'll ask on this thread

Ok so having some problems with my SD card.

First off I'm running VEGAn 5.1.

Ever since I got the Tab I have been trying to get my SD card to keep the movies and pictures that I have loaded from my computer on the card. Whenever I load it into the Tab.

I have formatted the card in my Tab. And I put the movies and pictures on the card. Then when I insert the card into the slot it takes a minute to read the card. I see the files that I have loaded onto the card. But after like a day or so I go to look at the files again and they are gone. I have reloaded the files a couple of times and I loaded them back again today. Then when I got to work they were gone again.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if it is new to you guys?

Thanks
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
This is a known problem. Search for .nomedia to find the details. The short answer is put a .nomedia file in your SD card directories. The downside is a lot of apps that show videos or audio won't find them now (because they aren't supposed to) so you have to use a file manager like Astro to go open the files.

It has never been clear to me why this is, what original firmware thought this made sense, or if I can protect a whole card by just putting .nomedia in the root or if I have to do it in every subdirectory I want to protect.

Quick Pic Gallery will show stuff by the way if you select "Show hidden" but sadly there is no way to make that a persistent setting.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flufffy:
Hi,

GPS worked fine with the stock ROM. I flashed revolution 2.0.16 and 3.0 and GPS worked, but my phone kept rebooting. So I switched to Raidroid Stockify 1.84 and the GPS doesn't work. It tunrns on, but then doesn't find any satellite (in the open of course).

I tried cold boot, I tried GPS Status, nada.

Could it be the ROM not matching my country? Or should I flash a newer radio also (which one?)? Any other reason?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Animal05:
Hey guys, first off I'd like to thank you for everything you do. I never could have imagined there could be so many customizations to phones.

I bought the HTC HD2 for T-Mobile the day it came out on March 24 last yr, and I've returned it and gotten a replacement twice now. The one I have now is a month old, and I am ready to port android to my device.

The problem.....I am beyond a newbie. I know nothing about porting another OS to my phone and I tried to read the faq and instructions and it's just overwhelming.

All I've done so far is port HSPL3 to my phone, mainly because based off of everything I've read, it is needed before anything is done. Then I get to the part where it says I need to install a radio, the current radio version on my phone is 2.15.50.14 so I don't know whether to leave it as it or not.

Basically, I need someone to walk me through the rest of the process, for I am in fear screwing something up and bricking my phone, I am a T-Mobile customer living in the US, and I would like to install Andriod 2.3 or 2.2 whichever works best, I guess I'll decide which one to port when I'm ready, I basically just need assistance in preparing my phone for a port of android, any takers?

One thing that is not stated in the DAF step-by-step is that you need to right click your mouse and choose Run As Administrator in order for DAF to go into it's menu and load. Right clicking the mouse is especially true for Vista computers in order for DAF to run. Once it is loaded, then all you need to do is copy the zip file of the build of your choice and use CWM, number 8 on the menu list, to open the zip file and load it.

I for one never doubted WiMax on CM, but this a little more un-trustful. For one, it's April Fools. That's the dead give-a-way. But then you have to consider that Verizon LTE operates under an entirely different frequency. Even more so, even if they could somehow get it to communicate, authentication has got be near impossible without a SIM card. And even if they got pass that, you wouldn't be able to connect without a Verizon data plan if it were even legal to spoof it.

I think everyone that has replied has missed the point, I also am wondering if there has been a work around or if anyone is working on it, I think that with a tablet, we should be able to hit the real site and have flash work, why would we need to pay for an app or get an app that is made for small phones when we should be able to just go to the website.

I wish I was smarter with these dev things and I could work on it but I dont have the time to learn.

[Xoom General] stachre:
Flash also reports the client platform/OS, independent of the browser user agent, when connecting to a streaming server. I don't use Grooveshark, so I don't know if this is the reason you get the error, but it's a strong possibility.

Some people have had success with opening a file in Flash (first honeycomb release) in a hex editor and replacing the string "AND" (Android) with "WIN" (Windows). There were also some high jinks to get the change to persist, but a modified APK was made available that seemed to work for some users to access Hulu. I haven't followed it lately, but you could probably find more info searching for "flash for hulu".

EDIT: Here's the link: [MOD] Flash 10.2 Working HULU Updated: 4/29/11

Best case scenario is that someone has put out a modded APK for the current Flash release that also works with Grooveshark. If not, there might be another, less elegant solution.
