I like the "high tech" idea :) of putting small bumps of glue to dry on the side edge of the gtab next to the buttons as reference markers. Might not even need 4 bumps, 2 might be enough for back and home

Although as someone mentioned, I do see those buttons in my top bar on TNT Lite, not sure if it was TNT Lite or Launcher Pro which gave me those.
[G Tablet General] BoulderGeek:
Way to derail the thread, folks. Nicely done.

I've been a UNIX systems administrator since 1993, so I have seen my share of file editing, thanks.

The issue for me is more that the 10.1" form factor is too large for me to comfortably enjoy a tablet. The Viewsonic does have high density for all of the gear they pack in. While that makes it technically advanced, it also brings it closer to a netbook, and therefore less of a compelling device, for me.

So, for the time being, I will stick with my 7" Android tablet and hope that someone makes a nice 2.3 or 3.0 firmware for the Archos generation 8 tablets.

Archos Tab

Hi Boulder Geek

The big difference between the G-tab and the Archos is the propriety boot-loader

and they skimp on the memory 256, and on board apps memory, with 2 gig of apps memory it will be a lot of apps on the G-tab before you will run out space.

The guys at the XDA Archos developers has done wonder but to do Gingerbread and Honeycomb it will be difficult. Even my Nook color has 512 megs of ram and 1 gig of apps space.

I was able to edit the build.prop with vi, but first you have to run the following command (as super user, so su first)

mount -o remount,rw /system /system

Then you can use your terminal program to edit it in vi, and then finally, don't forget to protect it back with the following command

mount -o remount,ro /system /system

THIS WON'T WORK ON SE SOFTWARE!

download THIS

push all files to your device (:

in wich map do you need to place the files?

don't worry they are in the right map in the donwload (:

when you pused them all set all permission to 777 (chmod 0777 /system/*file) or check all checkboxes in rootexplorer

when you've done that open up /system/build.prop

and add this line at the end

ro.config.play.bootsound=1

now reboot

if you are thinking "wtf is he talking about?" then DO NOT TRY THIS! this is for advance user only

Enjoy :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LordSnow:
Thanks Owain, this is one of the little things that makes u smile XD

I've got just a problem (don't kick me please :p ):

I've downloaded a terminal emulator but when I type "adb shell" it says "permission denied" with "su" I get the superuser permissions, and again, with the "adb shell" command it says "adb: not found".

I know, there's something I should know, what exactly? Or where can I find infos about this?

Thanks XD
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
you dont have to type adb shell on mobile :p

that is only when u use terminal from pc

when you open terminal do you see "#" before you typ somthing on the line?

if yes don't typ in su

if not try su

but on terminal emulator don't use adb shell (:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Nitroboy77:
hi owain,

i tried this one but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work..

after flashing the .zip file with xrec i type this one into terminal emulator:

su

enablebootsound

bootsoundon

but at enablebootsound it says: not found.

when i type bootsoundon it says: boot sound enabled..

but i don't get any sound at boot at all :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
can someone try

sh ./system/bin/enablebootsound

and not just enablebootsound ??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pbezza:
Owain94, have tried your sh command. Have attached result.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
can you try to mount /system and /data in rootexplorer

then do this

su

sh ./system/bin/enablebootsound

bootsoundon

reboot

and report back if it works?

thanks in advance (:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pbezza:
Do you mean mount as r/w? /system and /data are mounted as r/w. There was no option to mount /data as r/w or r/o but it was r/w by default.

Drocap image attached.

Rebooted but still no sound.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jeremyward420:
Hey owain,

this is great thanks for this. But it is also not working for me even when mounting system and data as r/w, and i followed you steps that ive quoted. Anyway if you need anything else just let me know.

Oh and heres my screenshot.

Cheers,

Jeremy.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HanMedSverd:
Ok, do you mean :

''enablebootsound

bootsoundoff

bootsoundon

newbootsound

to enable do this in terminal ONE LINE EACH TIME :D'', OR :

''to enable do this in terminal ONE LINE EACH TIME :D

adb shell
su
enablebootsound
bootsoundon

'' :D

I've tried both, but they dont work (terminal emulator) ..

Look at attached pics :D

hi owain,

tried with the newer instructions you gave us but i get the same result as pbezza an jeremyward420 :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kisscool841:
also tried but doesn't work...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] projectsome:
Not sure but think I found part of the problem...

If you remove the ! from the first line of the enablebootsound file, when you type enablebootsound it comes up with

preparing system...
in/proc/mounted /system
mkdir failed for -p, file exists
checking previous boot sound installation...
enablebootsound: 65: syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then")
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
no no no :D

the ! is supposed to be there :p

it got an syntax error i will post manually way within a couple hours (:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HanMedSverd:
Don't put the .rar file on sdcard ? extract it and put those in ?

Edit : Sorry, I guess I am that noob that shouldn't try this xD

But I rlly rlly want it! :D Could you explain a little easier ? :)

Dumb question ; what does ''push the files'' mean ? is it to move/copy the files from sdcard to system? xP

(the only thing I need help with is :

push all files to your device (:

in wich map do you need to place the files?

don't worry they are in the right map in the donwload (:

when you pused them all set all permission to 777 (chmod 0777 /system/*file) or check all checkboxes in rootexplorer)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] *boy*racer*:
I've been wanting this for ages. Tried it but faild:-( wish there was an easyer way.

I copied the files in the right places and set the correct permissions and added in build prop but nothing.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
update to 2.3 then it will work :rolleyes:

on 2.2 it should work did it before...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] *boy*racer*:
Thanks Owain but I was using 2.3 when tried and still am on 2.3. Will try again 2moz.

edit: couldn't wait. Tried again and it works :-D I added that line in build prop and realised it was already there. So didn't bother writing it in again :cool:

I am trying to run the latest 3.70.651.1 RUU to get my phone back to a stock state.

It has been stick at the "Verifying information on your Android Phone. Please wait..." for about 15 minutes now.

I'd rather not unplug it prematurely and brick it or anything like that.

A couple of searches I have done on the issue indicate that Windows 7 may be the problem, but nothing conclusive yet.

Anyone run into the same issue here? Can I go ahead and disconnect the phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I would disconnect it and run the PC36IMG form. Just rename to PC36IMG, place on root of sdcard, then boot into the bootloader.

Have you ever given Swype a whirl? I wasn't a fan of virtual keyboards either until I started using Swype. It came stock with my G2, would it come with the G2X too?

I have a G2 and love it, but I wish it didn't come with the keyboard, it adds a lot of bulk. If you could stand it, I'd say wait.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
G2x is dual core, therefore slightly more future proof than the g2. If those are your only choices and you can deal without a hardware keyboard, go g2x. But you really need to play with both.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Dual core gives a bit of a performance boost. But the G2X is an LG phone, and therefore probably isn't going to see a lot of developer support. At least not anywhere on the order of HTC devices. Developer support and up-to-date ROMs is better future proofing then just a slightly faster CPU, IMO. LG phones are also pretty consistently underwhelming. Their phones are just not that good. If not for the dual network support of the G2X, I'd say G2 all the way.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayway27:
i do know that g2x does come with swype preinstalled.

could i try out a g2, and if i dont like it, go to a g2x? and vice versa?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MLonon:
LG was underwhelming because they were mainly in the budget game before. Also, their software skills are at the script kiddie level. Unless you REALLY need a keyboard then I would say G2X or Optimus 3D. That extra screen real estate makes more of a difference than you would think.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayway27:
meh, i dont care about screen real estate either. besides, lgs skin is going to be taken off, g2x is mostly stock, besides the obvious bloatware planted by tmobile.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueYears:
if you have plans to root or any of that good stuff I say go for the LG

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z59oQcIgF94&feature=player_embedded

actually based off this video the G2x will NOT run stock android, as you can see at 1:40 it has samsungs touch UI on it... but earlier in the video you will also notice that the notification bars are changing.... for example look at :24 and then 1:03.... i honestly have no idea what it all means
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
G2X looks hella ugly. My vote goes to the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bzerk1:
i dunno about that, but according to this video it is running stock. which the G series is known for.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXBSu_1jUkg&feature=channel_video_title

Anyways i'd definitly go with the g2x or one of the upcomming 3d phones vs getting a G2 right now which i currently have. i also came from a G1 and im tellin ya, the keyboards not that important anymore. sometimes i feel slower flipping it and actually typing it then just a few taps or swipes, i dont have much to say while texting. and i dont email much from it. with 4" screen im sure the screens accuracy would do justice. The hardware should more than make up for most of what dev's usually work on. I already feel that way about the g2. In the G1 it's exciting because it can get so much improvement, you feel like your actually turning a piece of **** into a chocolate bar (just a metaphor i love the G1), while the G2 you already feel like your just turning your chocolate bar into a different brand, or your adding nuts. So why not just buy the richest chocolate it has the potential to taste the best. Just my 2 cents, you might think totally different or use your phone different.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
I like my G2 but If I were buying now I'd probably get the G2X.

The G2 keyboard isn't that great (compared to the G1 keyboard anyways), thanks to that and the awesomeness of Swype I rarely use the physical keyboard.

Dual Core will give the G2X more life, it will still perform well 2 years from now on whatever version of Android is out then, the G2 may be getting pretty winded by this point.

It's true that right now LG phones haven't seen the developer support that HTC phones have, but I expect the newer, higher end Android phones will attract some attention and HTC's increasingly more restrictive security measures will curb developer interest there. Of course this is 90% speculation at this point.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eunkipark92:
Personally I am going to wait for htc to drop htc G3 or another android phone with a physical keyboard. I do not need any faster phone. Nor I play games. I just text a lot and browse webs.

I don't think saving few sec browsing apps and loading games worth 300 -400dollars so I am keeping the g2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
There was roughly 2 years between the release of the G1 and the G2, if following the same schedule that doesn't see the "G3" before fall 2012, if the AT&T merger does complete (which I think is likely because we have the best government money can buy) it's extremely unlikely that there will be new TMO phones coming out after that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
And why is that?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
That makes no sense...why would they not have a follow up to a well liked phone? Not only do they have more customer but also the ability to offer more devices than any other carrier? Seems like good business to me
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
T-Mobile likely won't exist anymore (assuming the merger goes through) and AT&T will be working hard to bring every TMO customer into the AT&T fold. They will have very little motivation to sell a successor to a uniquely T-Mobile phone.

While I do expect AT&T to have a better selection of Android phones than they have historically that isn't a tremendously difficult bar to exceed.

Right now there are 12 Android phones (not counting tablets, color variations or unreleased devices like the G2x or Sidekick) for T-Mobile and 6 available for AT&T, no way they will have 18 or anywhere close to that post merger, I'd expect a selection that's better than AT&Ts but not as good as TMO (maybe 10 or so at any given time).

The only hope that we as consumers have is that now that AT&T has lost iPhone exclusivity that AT&T will dramatically change it's stance towards Android and embrace it instead of offering a crappy selection of gimped phones (the Atrix gives me some hope, for all that it too is gimped)

Even if AT&T does offer a phone called the "G3" it will more than likely be a mediocre phone with a crappy keyboard (think backflip).

Maybe if we are lucky TMO will have already invested enough into the G3 before the merge completes that AT&T decides to release it, after they block application installation of course.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bzerk1:
I disagree on this outlook, I dont think AT&T would do that, it's just a really bad business move, why would you buy a business out if you are just trying to kill it, especially with verizon and sprint around. That is already the motive as a competitor. You buy the company because it has something valuable to you. The G series and mytouch is one of Tmobiles biggest branded phones and recieve lots of customers, im sure they would keep it that way. they'd probably just change the name of the phone.

and AT&T is not going to give up apple's iphone by choice. That would be a ridiculous move.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
AT&T has already said that the main reason they are buying TMO is so they can use the wireless spectrum TMO currently uses for 3G and "4G" for their LTE buildout. Sure the customers are nice and AT&T will indeed make some efforts to keep those customers (churn is expensive) but I'm sure that unifying the brand will be a higher priority.

The G series isn't really notable apart from the G1 being the first Android phone to market. As for the MyTouch "brand", that one has always been a head scratcher is to it's reason to exist. I'll be nothing short of amazed it it continues post merger. I would not be surprised to see existing MyTouch devices receive token rebranding immediately following the merger close to kill off the MyTouch brand quickly.

Never said they would dump the iPhone, what I meant was that hopefully they will feel less compelled to intentionally cripple their android offerings as they have done in the past.
