[myTouch 4G Android Development] kmdub:
I am with KenpoAP on this one. It uses the same tools as grankin's method, which works, as does this method. They both do fundamentally the same thing; use Visionary to temp-root, then gfree to perm-root. Albeit, this does script it up a bit.

This is getting old with all these "root method that works" threads (no offense OP, seems like you are trying to help). We have a method that works, and works well. He even explains a bit about why it works and is different than earlier methods. I have rooted 3 myTouch 4G's using that method. All without a hitch. I am sure this would work fine also, and seems a bit easier. But, it is not because the other method does not work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] d4redevil:
what i am saying is, I HAVE done this method on over 8 mytouchs now, the other methods DIDNT work. this one worked in less then 5min, I am just sharing it incase others dont know.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
Or he is buying used devices and selling on eBay like many people do.

And regardless, as long as he isn't passing it off as his own Dec work there's nothing wrong rooting for money. If someone wants it done but doesn't want to read/learn, its acceptable for someone to charge for the time they spend rooting a phone. Just saying.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
Would it really be hard to write a

script that runs those commands and reboots to bootloader? Adding the format to fat32 commands shouldn't even be that difficult to implement. I would assume as long as its in the same directory as the items it should be able to push to where they need to be. I may give it a shot if I have time soon.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
Which SU app version?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] CreepyE:
2.3.6.1. also tried the new one from the market. both do the same. they seem to forget set permissions
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
I would suggest fixing permissions via clockwork recovery first. Also Superuser itself should ask for permission when you enter it. Did it do that. Then make sure you update busybox and su binary.su binary is done through the su app, allow it to update to 3.0 as well. Download busybox from the market and update it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pinguo777:
This post is awesome. Thank you very much. I had troubles with the other posts on how to root the mt4g. This one has worked on 14 MT4G's for me now.

The latest one I did had the 2.3.4 OTA update and i was running into issues with this method and all methods as well. I just used ADB to downgrade back to stock and once that was complete, this method worked as usual.

Here is the link to downgrade back to stock...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedawidm:
Hi

This is my first post, anyway..Do you have a some reason why HTC use 3gp video codec, and how I make this change(In my before Nokia E52 have a mp4 video codec, and sound in video is really good). I ask because, sound in video in HTC Desire is poor(I know the HTC desire use AAC audio codec), is not the same level as video(even in 720p). For me this is strange, HTC is cost 2x more then Nokia E52. Maybe You know or work to fix this in software. Of course I have a Android 2.2(wait for the officially 2.3). Thx for You help.

Ps. Sorry for my english, I come from Poland, and my english is not the best, but I still learn it.. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
3GP is not a codec. It is a file container.

The codec for the video is either H.263/H.264/MP4.

2. HTC desire does not use the AAC codec natively (in 2.2 Froyo), it uses AMR-NB (however it should be AMR-WB in the forthcoming Gingerbread update).

Solution use, LGCamera from the market. Or use a HD/Z ROM port.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedawidm:
Sorry, my fault, of course this is container. Hmm..the second solution is good, but can I get this rom, and how to instal?

Ps. Maybe XDA-Dev work to fix this problem in software.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
1. Search LGcamera on the market.

2. Look in the developement section for tutorials and ROM.

3. I highly doubt about anybody is working currently on that fix. Maybe in next official update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subtex:
I know no one has the keyboard yet, but does anyone have links to videos that show how the touchpad/dpad works?

Specifically I want to know that I won't have to reach up and touch the screen when i'm using it in laptop mode.

Is there a cursor present? Does it work everywhere or just the browser?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HideYoKids:
I dont recall where I saw it, but I can confirm that a cursor is present. It works the same as the lapdock for the Motorola Atrix. Clicking is like tapping the screen, click + drag is a swipe. Pretty simple concept.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedoig:
There was a pretty good video in Italian by HDblog or something like that. I'll see if I can find a link, but you could probably find it pretty easily on YouTube.

It showed a cursor on the homescreen, plus multitouch gestures on the trackpad (pinch-zoom, two finger scroll, etc.)

Edit: I think this is it, but can't confirm because my office blocks youtube.

This series of videos by Asus does have some examples of keyboard usage, particularly if you scroll down it will show the dock being connected to an external hard drive. Nice!

[Galaxy Tab General] Earthbrain:
I am not sure why there are no forums for the Blackberry Playbook when there are forums for the Flyer and 10.1 Samsung tab when both of these are not out yet like the Playbook.

Anyway, would you still hang on to the Galaxy Tab instead of getting the newer devices such as the Flyer or the Playbook?

I will probably get another 7" tab but I am not sure which one to get. My wife will probably inherit the SGT to put it in her purse.

The pre-lim review for the Playbook is out:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/13/blackberry-playbook-review/

...not a bad device in my opinion.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
I'm keeping the Tab. But if I were to replace it, is probably get the Flyer.

I've always been a fan of Sense UI (unlike nearly everyone else :p) and it just looks amazing. Especially the newer features they've put into it.

Sent from my zombie infested Desire.
[Galaxy Tab General] Pharaohnough:
I'm also a big fan of Sense UI and Sense 3.0 looks very nice on the HTC Sensation promo videos...

I'm quite happy with my Galaxy Tab but if I were to change it anytime soon it would definitely be for the Flyer. The Flyer resembles my HTC Legend in its look and feel and I think the Legend is a masterclass of design with its aluminium unibody and the colour combination of the case, screen etc
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
From what I've heard, the Flyer's battery life is a good deal less than the 7" Tabs - that would be a deal breaker for me!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] af974:
I will buy the Flyer if Gingerbread will suck on GT lol

Btw, i love the Flyer pen, would have it for my GT.
[Galaxy Tab General] Earthbrain:
We mainly get the 7" tab for the size and portability.

Here is the break down:

Galaxy Tab:

Dimensions: 190.1 x 120.5 x 12 mm

Weight: 380 gram

------------------

Blackberry Playbook:

Dimensions: 193 x 130 x 10 mm

Weight: 400 gram

-------------------

HTC Flyer

Dimensions: 195.4 x 122 x 13.2 mm

Weight: 420 gram

So the SGT is actually the smallest in size (in terms of width) which is the best device to put in a jacket pocket. The other 2 devices (especially the Playbook) may be too big to put in the pocket.

Remember, you have to take into account of the case that go with the device so it would bulk it up a little bit when putting it in the pocket.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Completely agree. Have you seen HTCs promo video for the Flyer? You can sync literally everything with the calendar, use the stylus to highlight text on documents, record office/meetings with the audio recorder, write notes as it records. Its genius.

True, but that's the case with most HTC phones. My Desire would last about 8-12 hours with high usage. But I'm never away from a plug for that long, so carrying a spare charger with me isn't too big of a problem.

Sent from inside a whale.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
The trouble is, they are only quoting 4 hours for video playback, whereas I can generally get at least 6 from my Tab.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Katavic:
I am still sticking to SGT. I can't see much improvemense on those two to justify buying the new tab. Only other tab I would buy is SGT 8.9 if reviews are good
[Galaxy Tab General] Pharaohnough:
Absolutely brilliant
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
The HTC Flyer Videos really impressed me.

it would be the perfect improved galaxy tab for me.

BUT although the pen is really nice and so on and so forth, the main reason I would buy this tab is to take notes at school,

off course cellphones and so on are forbidden, so I couldnt use it in anyway.

The streamed gaming is no good for me either, because it would use data when im onfoot.

So for me for double the price for the htc flyer wouldnt pay out.

But I can imagine if your a student or something, it would be simply awesome, then I would also buy it.
[Galaxy Tab General] ukuest:
I have always been impressed with pen input, but whenever I tried it out in real life, for instance using a Windows tablet for handwritten notes in Onenote, I did not continue using it in the end. A screenful of stylus-written text is hard to read and use, completely different from a piece of paper with handwritten text. Not sure why. It simply does not work for me.

And highlighting of text I can do with my finger in Repligo Reader for PDFs, in MoonReader for other ebooks.

Unless people report a compellingly different user experience with using a pen on Android, I'll stay with my smaller, lighter, cheaper Tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:
There's not much of a difference between the tab and the flyer. Ill probably wait for something more groundbreaking, than the flyer. I can't see myself using the stylus anyway.
[Galaxy Tab General] pendevous:
I would replace it with the Galaxy tab 8.9 if ever, if it runs Samsung's Exynos. I also consider the Flyer as another alternative, but I don't see myself using that stylus because I have a dismal penmanship and I can't draw. Moreover, I just like Exinos.

However, I might also consider the BlackBerry Playbook. If that happens, then I would loose my only Android machine since I own two BlackBerries (not counting my pass phones).
[Galaxy Tab General] richard_rama:
I am using my Galaxy Tab as a phone replacement. Am quite happy with it and don't think I will replace it soon.

HTC Flyer is a good contender because of it's size. If I can use the flyer for Phone calls and sms, i think this will be my next gadget..
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
As i said in the flyer fourm (this was re would you buy the flyer)
[Galaxy Tab General] icreepin:
Well I have the SGT and while I do like it, I will probably end up purchasing the playbook, reason being while I do enjoy the SGT and I am a huge fan of HTC products I think the playbook is built more for business with an after thought for entertainment. My mind might be changed if the flyer can do everything the playbook does. Now thats not to be said if I dont find a decent deal I wont get a flyer also but for useability for work and school the playbook offers more options out of the box.

Hi.

Desire suddenly doesn't want to read any kind of sdcards anymore. Powering on brings me to FASTBOOT. CWM just says that it can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1. Also, SD-EXT was supposed to be there, it fails to find that one as well. Also Win7 suddenly says it can't find driver for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM? WTH is that?

It did OK not ten minutes ago before it happened. PC reads any kind of sdcards fine.

In short, did I somehow FUBAR it? Or is there something I can yet try?

2. If I move to a different ROM then I can just do restore missing apps with data. Right?

3. If I flash a different theme on a particular ROM then can I perform a full restore if the back up was made on the same ROM but a.different theme?
