@whitehawkxx

you're going fo upload the v1 tonight? this will be my next rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Nabeel10:
Sorry, white updated his Twitter saying he's gonna upload tomorrow, he has bad connection right now
[Vibrant Android Development] Lo N Slo:
Couple of Questions for the developer:

-Im currently running a Team Whiskey rom with their voodoo, do I need to disable before flashing Beta3 (beta4?)

-After this rom is flashed, is Voodoo enabled on default? If not, how is it enabled?(through recovery?)

-Does this rom include apps like Titanium Backup, Set CPU, etc... (not a big deal I guess)
[Vibrant Android Development] xtone:
- no need to disable voodoo

- voodoo on by default

- i think it has titanium, rom manager, bloater, + more but NO SET CPU

oh and whitehawkx -- pls add geniewidget.apk i think it's the only one missing.
[Vibrant Android Development] hayn_pryde46:
Whitehawkx and Birgertime good job man on the rom thanks... Oh can you please put microbes lwp in next release if possible I like that full gingerbread experiance... Good Job edt maybe the whole crew should work on 2.3 together you guys are the best next to team whiskey...

Does anybody else have an issue where their phone doesn't allow them to mount their phone via USB? When I go into USB, it automatically chooses to go into kies, and when I look at the notifications menu, there is no option to mount it.
[Vibrant Android Development] parusia:
I have no problems to mount, but I have my phone on debugging mode. Try that, sometimes 2.2.1 needs to be in debugging mode to mount via USB. Hope this help you.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] funkybunk:
When I'm in debugging mode, it still doesn't mount. This time, however it doesn't connect to kies automatically. It just sits there with no options available.
[Vibrant Android Development] reuthermonkey:
Just flashed this. Running well so far.

One thing I noticed, however, is a lack of animated GIF support. Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing this?
[Vibrant Android Development] yw2012:
confirmed here. so not just you.
[Vibrant Android Development] anteko:
Same here as well
[Vibrant Android Development] yw2012:
On the other note, battery life on this rom is awesome! Definitely last longer than Trigger for some reason. Awesome job EDT!
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
I have been loading and playing with the 2.2.1 roms since before the consolidation and have found that ALL of them for me will not allow an adb push. Read Only File System. I then tried a mount command to mount as r/w and I get a error that says something like not allowed.

This is a true dealbreaker for me as I am contstantly pushing things via adb or abd wireless.

Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
I too had this issue for a while. In v1 it should be fixed as in the new permissions script it will auto mount /system to rw (hope this isn't a bad thing).

Anyhow, to get around this, I usually have two command line windows open (at least). I have one where I'll do:

adb shell
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

and the other one I'll push something
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Permission denied. I would be willing to alpha test V1 if you got something ready as I like your roms I just cant

function with them like this.
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
it essentially does the same thing on v1.

i'm on the university wifi network so i can't really test it. but i did notice that i get errors from time to time if i'm trying to push **** to /system & moving it around with root explorer afterwards.

now I just do everything from the command line and don't have issues
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Thats my preferred as well. It just isnt working for me. Perhaps its cause I am on win7 64 bit?
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
that's what i use on both of my pcs
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Ok time for a reflash and factory reset i guess
[Vibrant Android Development] dolapo78:
Quick question..I'm coming from Bionix v.1.3.1. What's the best method for installing this ROM. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Re-flash seems to have taken care of it for now using the 2 window scenario. Thanks for all the help
[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Same as any other, download the rom file to your sd, boot to recovery, clear data/factory default and finally install the rom. Finito!
[Vibrant Android Development] Demiurgic:
sometime the adb shell su will pop up a permission window on the phone. Occasionally I get permission issues but adb reboot recovery fixes that :D you should be able to mount as rw and push files in recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] adm1jtg:
Ok reloaded all my programs and now back to permission denied again on adb this is more then frustrating. Does any other rom have the v1 changes so i can rip the files from it?

Update: Just loaded Trigger 2.9.2 and same issues also dual windows solution mentioned earlier does NOT work for me on Trigger either same permission denied error.... and yes I did get the SU popup on phone, authorized and told it to remember. Still not working.
[Vibrant Android Development] RickCain:
This has to be the best 2.2.1 ROM I have tried yet. Flashed this morning and everything appears to be working GREAT!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] zmattmanz:
This ROM is incredibly fast at everything. It works great. Keep up the fine work.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr.orange303:
cm7 is diff.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr.orange303:
this and the origional jpj from jellette. that one is money. in fact this is based off of that rom. shows how good it is.
[Nook Color General] ruiza997:
Now that htc has joined to tablet wars is there a chance for the sense tablet version to run on a rooted nc.
[EVO 4G General] OstrichSak:
Anyone else have issues that uses vRecorder? As long as I have it set to auto record it wont play the audio over Bluetooth. Not sure if the mic is picking up my voice or if it's the phone's vocoder. If I turn off the record on vRecorder the Bluetooth functions exactly as it should. I really need this to worth over Bluetooth too though.

Thoughts?
[Captivate General] mzalimck:
Just a thanks to the creators of Serendipity MikeyMike01 & ChanceM it was the easiest load and is fast & smooth.MOst importantly my battery is doing superb! I was previously using Paragon RC6 so this is a tad different. None The Less..THanks! :D
[Captivate General] offwiththeface:
Yes thank you I also love serendipity
[Captivate General] metalgeek:
Yup yup! Serendipity is ****ing TITS!

:D
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
I started at around 5.8 (or was it 9?) and I think I flashed one other ROM since then and it was on my phone for less than a day. lol

It's like buttah
[Captivate General] supaphreek:
I dont think anyone can disagree with this thread. Im currently a gingerbread user (MIUI) but before anything gingerbready was released here, i was a hardcore serendipity fan :D Updating my phone (literally almost every other day with the new revision).

Its an absolutely genius rom by an absolutely genius dev :D

Thanks!
[Captivate General] thresherhorn:
Bout the only thing I miss from stock is the "gentle alarm." I'm sure I could find it somewhere but too busy watchin the blazin smooth screen to care with serendipity!

Thanks guys :)
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
I have Samsung's stock clock (with the Smart Alarm) in my app list right next to the AOSP clock. Both work fine as completely independent apps.

Download and flash it for 6.3 from the Serendipity add-ons.
[Captivate General] Nick James:
Yes its a great rom
[XPERIA X10 General] shaunbu:
So with all the new threads about the unlocked bootloader on new models and 2.3 on this I thought I'd create a poll about whether it has convinced you to buy SE in future.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
It's going to be a while now that they promised GB update and it appears that z has just posted a screen shot of his X10 running his own kernel meaning the bypass is working (I think).

However, when the time comes I will definitely be getting another SE device unless the competition takes some notes from SE in regards to listening to their customers and overall design. I was shopping yesterday, and I played with some other phones. Physically they all felt like cheap bulky plastic toys compared to my X10.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XlAfbk:
I'm trying to change $PATH to have /system/xbin/ before /system/bin/.

I could do this manually but I'm lazy, so I'm looking for a way to have it like that on boot. But no matter whether I change it in init.rc, fota.rc, recovery.rc, they're all back in the old order after a reboot.

Anyone know which file I have to change to make my path changes stick?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
The init.rc file is a part of the initramfs which is included in the kernel image (zImage). You need to change the init.rc and recompile the kernel with the updated initramfs to make the changes stick.

There is also a way to unpack and repack an existing kernel image, but IMHO recompiling the kernel is much simpler.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XlAfbk:
hm, compiling kernels isn't really my thing.

is there another way to insert commands into boot process or change path on startup?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
I think if you have a kernel with init.d support, you can just drop a script in the init.d directory and it will get automatically executed.

I think all the custom kernels (at least ones based on Voodoo) have init.d support -- never actually tried this so I am not totally sure about this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XlAfbk:
I'm using the hacked voodoo kernel for gingerbread, created a /init.d/test.rc with "export PATH ... " but it didn't work. Is it supposed to be a .rc script? supposed to work in gingerbread kernel?

edit: after a closer looks it seems that the script is not only not run but /init.d is completly and without a trace gone after rebooting
[EVO 4G General] Palimar:
I have the Android version 2.2 Software version 3.7. I was wondering if there is anyone here that has rooted this yet? I have tried unrEVOked and a few other methods to try and root my phone, but its just not happening. If anyone knows how I can fix my problem, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.

[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
Just read an article that pointed to Best Buy for a new Asus 10 inch android tablet with better specs than our beloved gTabs for $400. And... it's already got honeycomb.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet

Acer Iconia A500

The Asus Transformer is delayed for a U.S. launch now until the end of this month due to supply shortages.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/13/asus-apologizes-for-eee-pad-transformer-delay-it-wont-detail-u/
[G Tablet General] pr0cs:
I *really* hope they can release it at $400, the recent video preview (Via Slashgear) made it pretty attractive (to me at least).
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
This is one of the devices I was eyeing. Allegedly it has an IPS screen as well. Anyone who's read my posts long enough knows how badly I want an IPS screen. :D
[G Tablet General] geoffreywolter:
Yep, the Eee Pad Transformer looks like a winner to me.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
I guess we'll have to wait for someone here to get one in their hands and do a proper review.

If it gets love from the creative folks at xda then I may sell off my second gTab and pick one of these up once it's released to the public.
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
and im now disappointed in my gtab before i even get it, thanks alot!
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
hopefully it cant be rooted =D
[G Tablet General] noechelon:
At this price I'm interested as well. I have a couple of friends who are interested in my Gtablet with the Vegan rom and accessories for around $300. If Honeycomb isn't available for the Gtab by the time this comes out I may make the switch.
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
Isn't it being released April 6th? 5 days?!?!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Don't be. It's $285 (assuming you are a Woot! user) and this ASUS device has NOT been released yet. It may not show up for a month, or longer.

The GTAB will be dated one day, but that's going to happen for all electronics, it's unavoidable.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
That dock (that basically turns the tablet into a laptop) looks sweet! Even though the price for the dock hasn't been announced (at least not to my knowledge) I want it.

Also, the fact the tablet comes with an HDMI port on it rather than relying on the dock is also pretty cool.

It will be very interesting indeed to get the review when someone here can get their hands on it.
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
If I can confirm this will be available for $400 @ Best Buy next week, I will be putting my gtab on craigslist ASAP and coughing up the $115 extra for IPS screen with honeycomb!
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Don't be, man. If you always want the latest and greatest, you will never buy anything at all. Ever. With the number of companies in the world and how fast they are moving in research and development, whatever you buy will always be outdated.

Personally, I think the gtab is good for me for at least a few years.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'll believe it when I see it. But if this thing comes out in 5 days in my local BB, I will be getting one! This could replace my SmartQ R10.
[G Tablet General] noechelon:
Plus a built in HDMI port.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
I would wait to see the reviews. The Motorola Xoom (honeycomb) out of the box wasn't as zippy as our gTabs.

And besides, you got a helluva deal on your gTAB purchase compared to early adopters like me that paid the $400 on them in November/December of last year. Who knows, if you get your gTab and put a custom ROM on it (I'm running VEGAn 5.1.1) you may decide to wait a while before you fork out that extra $115.
[G Tablet General] Jrbourque:
I have thirty days to return gtablet to Sears looks like I might do so and get Asus
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
im scouring the web for a real price/release date now...
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
the only flaw for the gtab is the screen viewing, which im sure a IPS screen would resolve
[G Tablet General] rodzero:
ill be watching this closely. thanks for the heads up. and with roebeet on-board, the possibilities are endless.

no pressure. :D
[G Tablet General] cbay:
And when in a few months Woot sells the Transformer for $285 we will have 10000 more wooters on xda :)
[G Tablet General] mcp2009:
Gonna check my employee discount on the Iconia when it comes out :D
[G Tablet General] stilgar27:
For those convinced the transformer is going to be $399 because they saw a screen shot, I assure you it was a mistake. I followed the whole thing on slickdeals/bestbuy/amazon as it happened the other week, and they pulled those coming soon/preorder pages down as fast as they could. This was no doubt in large part to the hundreds of people flocking from the forums to try and pre-order them. It was some of the most furious forum action I think I've ever seen, and for good reason - it'd be a steal at that price.

Anyhow the consensus on slickdeals was that the price was intended to be 400 Euros, and everyone got carried away marking it $400 USD/CDA/Any other random currency. The reality is that this thing is already selling for over 400 Euros (over $600) in Europe. It's also selling for the equivalent of $600 US in Hong Kong... which translates to like $16000 or something I can't quite remember my exchange rates today.

Anyhow - sorry to crush everyone's dreams, but it's only fair since mine got crushed first :p
[G Tablet General] dcmtnbkr:
do not post opinion as fact. who cares what slick deals has to say? as i stated before, wifi xoom in uk is 800, in us its 600. prices do not match overseas. either provide proof or present as opinion, but your post is arrogant.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
If you are this easily disappointed, then your life sucks. You will be disappointed all your life. Because nowadays, everything will be outdated the day after you bought it.

The gtab is $285. You will never find another gtab this fast and sensitive at this price. Remember that honeycomb is software. Software can always be upgraded.
[G Tablet General] sorun343:
In UK, you need to take out 20% for VAT tax. That's is quite an amount
[G Tablet General] xddy1979:
no doubt it would be at least $450, most likely it will be 499

check out the UK price, 379 without the dock, 379*1.6*.8 ~=485
[G Tablet General] noddy43:
I would'nt of thought $399 is out of the question the acer iconia is a similarly spec'ed tablet and the official pricing for that is $449 at best buy preorder.
[G Tablet General] junks2010:
Let me say this again,

If Asus wants to sell 100K units in two months (like the Xoom), then price the Transformer at the iPad2's price. If they want to sell more than that, they better price its 16GB wifi at $399.

At CES, they announced it at $399. I haven't seen any evidences that they will do otherwise.
[G Tablet General] stilgar27:
My real concern are the posts here of people selling or preparing to sell their current devices in the hopes of getting this one at a low price. I'd hate to see people getting screwed over what I believe is a pricing mistake that won't be honoured. I've seen that happen quite a bit on other forums.

That said, the only fact I present via my assurance is that there was a pricing mistake. I mentioned slickdeals because I found the amazon/best buy links there, which led to this tablet priced at $399 US, 399 Canadian, 399 Euro, and 399 British pounds. The price discrepancies of these various currencies (roughly 50%) and quick removal of the product pages would seem to indicate it was a mistake.

I cannot reproduce these pages as they've all been removed, including the forum discussions which led to it (which is even more ominous in my opinion). If I'd have thought ahead I'd have taken screen shots, but I didn't so disbelieve and disregard this as you see fit.

The consensus (which is an opinion and not fact) I mentioned was based on the confusing information being presented by the retailers.

I sincerely hope that I'm wrong on this, and that this significantly better tablet, from a more expensive makers, retails for almost 20% less than the Iconia tablet. I just can't see it happening.

Sincere apologies if this (or other posts) comes out as being arrogant, I assure you it is not intended as such.
[G Tablet General] lordgodgeneral:
My guessing why the pages were posted and pulled is because Asus is having the same problem as every other electronics company is having and that the disaster in Japan screwed up their supply chain. From what I've been following from the Asus thread over in the XDA general section, people are able to get them over seas but the launch has been pretty bad and its hard to come by.

Could be it'll just take a while to get the supply line sorted out and we'll have an official US date.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I completely agree. The xoom has been a huge failure because (IMHO) of the price. Really, in the age of electronics who wants to pay $800 for a non-contracted tablet that will be out-of-date in a year? Why in the world did they even set the price so damn high?

I believe the asus tab webpage went down because they are having production problems due to the Japan disaster. Even here in America many plants are shutting down due to parts shortage.
[G Tablet General] dcmtnbkr:
http://pccyber.com/?v=Product&i=TPC-AS-TF101-A1

399 CAD (you were right, its 417 not 399, damn...)
[G Tablet General] mcp2009:
Now that I think about it I'll just wait and hope that honeycomb gets ported to our GTabs. But I will see the discount I get on these bad boys are.
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Please stop comparing prices from other countries. It's pointless. A 16gb wif iPad 2 goes for £399 in the UK with VAT, you know that's $652.72, which would make it $153 more than the US ipad2 16gb wifi. If we take out VAT which is 20% it would be £332.50 or $543.94 which is still higher than the iPad sells for here.

Sources

http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/858867-apple-ipad-2-to-cost-399-when-launched-in-uk-on-friday

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/Taxes/BeginnersGuideToTax/VAT/DG_190918

Most advertised prices in the UK are including VAT which is 20%

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-EeePad-Transformer-Tablet-Android/dp/B004TB0EMK See that that's £379.99 which includes the 20% VAT.

There are a lot of other factors involved such as what the company pays to import their product into that area, and I'm not just talking import taxes. It may cost a company more to be able to maintain a network to handle warranty returns, or offices in certain countries. Then they factor in what the consumers there are willing to pay for a product based on research and past products.

Iconia Vs Transformer screen

Does anyone know how the screen on these two compare.

I hear that a MVA screen is better that the IPS.

I'm still undecided about these two tablets. I do like my G tab but the screen...
[G Tablet General] sorun343:
Hi Ivan

I tested the Iconia 32gb in one of the mall at my country . Screen is not that great as compare to my IPAD 2. Color a little jaded when put side by side.

Honeycomb 3.0 still need some polishing.

Taiwan forum reported Asus is faster in web browsing , unfortunately i can't get the iconia to connect to the on site wifi.

Build wise, it is good. On the right side, there is a label that say GPS. Is there a GPS in Iconia 32gb?
[G Tablet General] dcmtnbkr:
Canadian prices are usually a lot closer to US prices. Also, for me anyway, a canadian price is a valid price, as i could easily drive there in about 3 hours.

Unboxing video of Asus Transformer

Link to YouTube video
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I can't get to YouTube at work, but there is a 20+ minute video of a guy demonstrating the Asus tab ... in Swedish :D But it still gives an indication of how well it works. It's on this channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/swecab

[G Tablet General] rafisher79:
Saw the unboxing video for the Asus. Looks like a proprietary connector for the charger. Is this going to be the norm for the new tablets? I miss the days when everything was some standard USB form.
[G Tablet General] P00r:
500mA is not enough to charge a 24W+ battery properly, it's ok for once in a while but not for regular charges, tablet are closer to laptop than phone in term of battery...
[G Tablet General] ivan.volosyuk:
Camera doesn't look right. Ok, probably too much to the right. :) If using with video conferencing software in landscape mode - person who uses this tablet will be looking always to the left on the picture.
[G Tablet General] Ivanthompson:
Thanks

I sure hope it does have a GPS.

Perhaps I'm going to have to wait for a comparison between the ipad and the Transformer screens.
[G Tablet General] rafisher79:
Ah... learned something new. Thanks!
[G Tablet General] dcmtnbkr:
It says it will have gps on the Best Buy page, not sure how accurate that is yet though. The transformer and the original ipad have the same screen, but i guess the transformer has a higher pixel density (ie:crisper) from what I've read.
