[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlaidStallion:
So I am one of the recent influx of G-Tab users and have been poking around these forums for a few weeks. Got TNT lite installed using CWM .8. I am trying to understand though, if I want to move to Vegan Tab do I follow the same process (minus the CWM install) or do I need to repartition with NV Flash. If it is a different process than what I followed initially, is there a clear concise guide for changing roms as opposed to going from stock?

Thanks. I tried to search for something related to this but didn't find anything.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djapatos:
pretty much the same

except if you were on TNT lite 5. in that case you ll have to Nvflash

also if you were on a 2.2 version and you want to go one a 2.3 version you ll also have to nvflash

so if you wanna try the new version of Vegan Gingeredition you ll have to nvflash, but if you wanna use the any lower version, no need to;)

Good luck
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlaidStallion:
I would like to use the ginger edition. Are there tutorials for NV Flash? i think I am currently on TNT Lite 4.4.0
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djapatos:
here ... use that

That the thread i used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

Follow it carefully

Message me if u have question
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlaidStallion:
Ok. I was looking at that thread but it didn't seem to fit my scenario. I will look through it now though.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djapatos:
huh?

it didnt fit your scenario? whats your scenario
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlaidStallion:
Well I just wasn't sure because that seems to be for recovering a bricked device or one that is malfunctioning? Reading through it though it's a general way to get your tablet back to stock so it is ready to be flashed with the new rom?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djapatos:
yeah it is

yea it is a general way to get back in stock

however you could have easily install 2.2 rom in it without nvflash

but because the Vegan ginger is 2.3 thats why you need that
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlaidStallion:
Ok so my TNT Lite install is all messed up so i figured now might be a good time to try Vegan Tab. As I would like mouse and keyboard support and (along with support for a wii-mote) and hardware video accelration would the 2.2 version of Vegan Tab be the way to go?

I am assuming that moving from TNT Lite 4.4.0 to the 2.2 version of Vegan Tab would not be much of an issue?

The problem with my TNT lite install is that it is force closing a ton of applications and access to my internal memory seems to be hosed. Anyway to rectify this before I wipe as I will lose my angry birds saves otherwise :)

Where do I find my modem in all the files rootexplorer gives acces to? I know I can just look at the baseband in about phone, but I would like to verify for myself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
The kernel and modem are firmware that interface the hardware to the OS, not files. It's kind of like the BIOS on a PC.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
this. they arent 'files' in the traditional sense once they are on your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Is there any way to verify, other than looking at about phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
Flash a new modem and you'll know for sure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
About phone will tell you the info you need. Don't really know why you think you need to verify that.

Does anybody have a way to make a shortcut or widget that is only visible when I have a missed call, text, email, etc etc? I wanted to have a setup like this on my WidgetLocker lock screen, so that the screen would be nearly clean unless I have a text/call/gmail, in which case that respective icon would become visible with the amount I missed (Easily done through ADWNotifier).

Has it been secret running in the background?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheesyNutz:
looks like a memory leak
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
A memory leak? And I don't know if it was running in the background. Manage apps would tell me?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
When you are exiting Miren you have to hit the menu button and select exit app or it will continue to run in the background.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You could also use the long press back button if on CM7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
I guess I kinda have a bad internet habit of just pressing home. I use back to close for kik and other things I don't want open. I'll try getting use to that. Stupid auto brightness setting didn't help. I really like miren. I don't wanna ditch it for being a hog.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
It could be a memory leak, but I don't think so.

In reality, the phone is calling back to china to report your location and all your activities...

Ok, just kidding. I have a suspicion that it's all the rss feeds updating every so often (too often). I had the same issue when I first started using miren. I couldn't figure out what the damn thing was doing in the background, until closely examining my wifi activity. I posted about it in one of the miren threads, but the fix is to delete all the rss feeds that are preconfigured when you install the app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Even when exiting the app properly, it still continues to run in the background. This usually doesn't bother me, but I would use it for ten minutes & it would account for at least 30% of my battery use over eight hours. I haven't used it in a while, though, so it could be different now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
I've been doing testing for Maxthon so having 6 or 7 browsers on my phone for comparisions is a must. Here's what I've noticed.

Installed Miren and without even starting it, it ran in the background. Ok let's reboot, same thing. Alright Miren, enough is enough, terminate process. 5 minutes later there it was running again. Set my task killer to "I hate Miren" and then my task killer replaced Miren for usage because all it did was keep killing Miren. I haven't really looked into why but can say that this is normal for Miren.

[HD2 General] emjakmaciej:
Hey guys,

I have a problem. A week ago I dropped my hd2 and the screen was smashed. I took it to the service and they replaced the digitizer. Now, as it turned out the lcd displays badly and the say it has to also be replaced. I know that after the drop the lcd worked fine. Now it looks like this: http://img857.imageshack.us/i/imag0001u.jpg

My question is - is this broken lcd? it has to be removed? or can I do something with it? is it the fault and they've done something wrong?

Thanks for answers.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Read this post by XDA member Facdemol, this post will help you answer your question.
[HD2 General] ben_duder:
Unless they just haven't connected the LCD properly (very unlikely), there's definitely a problem with it... I'm afraid I think it'll have to be replaced. :(
[HD2 General] yurigagarin61:
in turkey if there is a digitizer problem they change the whole screen.
[HD2 General] losovik:
Under the TMOUS warranty they will replace your phone if an issue comes up like that because it's usually just an unlucky roll of the dice if your LCD does that.
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
because your problem seems to occur after a mechanical shock, i would suspect 2 scenarios.

1. You have a bad connection between the display flex connector and phone's motherboad. This can either be caused by motherboard display connector failure, some small pins on that connector got busted when the phone was either dropped or once the digitizer was changed. I give pretty small chances for this to have happened.

2. If you see a phone lcd stripped down of it's housing, you will notice that on the bottom part of it (or lateral one on some displays) you can see a flex cable coming from the display's glass-like surface to the back of it. It sits pretty tight around one edge of the screen. It connects the TFT matrix to the processing part (column&row controllers) on the back of the display (or on the flex cable/phone motherboard .. ). If a phone is hit from one side, the case and display housing can press hard on this flex cable and break it, or puncture it. In this case, some of the signals needed to drive some specific areas of the tft matrix aren't getting to the matrix itself so you see some lines on the screen (plus color rendering errors). Sometimes, improper manipulation of the screen when assembling back the phone can also cause the problem.

I give more chances to this scenario.

If number 1 could be fixed by a simple phone disassemble and connector checking, number 2 will indeed require a new display as there isn't any way to service that broken flex cable.

My previous posts about display problems tried to focus on "naturally occurring" problems, not ones induced by electric/mechanical shocks. So in this case, my above scenarios will be more suited as likely suspects for your problem.
[Android Software Development] theevilshiftkey:
I'm an IT consultant so I'm not a dummie, but I'm not exactly a programmer either.

We need to create an inventory/audit app for an Android tablet. I looked at the Eclipse documentation and I don't think I want to take the time to learn Java well for just this one app. Which leaves me with these options.

Has anybody used Mobiforms to create apps, and would a smart but untrained newbie be able to develop something reasonably quickly? They don't offer a trial version which I find more than annoying.

Should I just outsource the project to somebody in Bangladesh? I have some experience outsourcing.

Any other recommendations on getting an app created relatively quickly?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] theevilshiftkey:
Or Google App Inventor...
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
No offense, but the outsource to Bangladesh comment isn't going to win you a lot of friends that aren't in Bangladesh.

I'd say try app inventor and see what you can learn, you'll know in relatively short order if it will do what you need.

Otherwise maybe you're in over your head and someone should outsource you to Bangladesh. ( ;) kidding! ). Seriously though, if you don't find what you need I would hire out at that point.

I don't know much about Mobiforms, but their website looks terrible. Not that a website is the final word on a company but it strikes me as odd at least.
[Android Software Development] theevilshiftkey:
Thanks.

I spent an while with App Inventor. While it is surprisingly useful it lacks one thing that I must have, that being read/write access to the file system.

Today I just discovered Basic4Android and WOW! I haven't coded in basic in many years, but it's still easier to re-learn that than to learn Java from scratch. I'm sure none of the developers here have any interest in it, but for the occasional hobbiest like myself it's a lot easier to start out with. I recommend it for anybody who doesn't plan on making a career of Java programming or who already have a background in BASIC.

I reviewed Mobiforms and not only is their website aweful, but the documentation for it is aweful too. I can't recommend it for anything.

I will probably still outsource this project though.

Fair enough, but can I ask why? I had a cheapie Zenithink ZT-180v2 who's specs are crap & I was able to load WinCe with no problems.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xargon321:
because win7 is not designed to run on arm processors just x86 the viewpad is a intel adam processor and android has been ported to run on it.

Wait for windows 8 to ask this question... or do what i do... remote desktop with an RDP app :]. Better battery life than any windows 7 tablet to boot.

That would be Atom processor, not adam.

On the other hand Win Phone 7 might work on G-tab..... Anyone thought about that?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
Yeah I've been trying to get Splashtop Remote to work away from my local network for days now but haven't had luck setting up the router to recognize the G-Tab & vice versa when I'm away from home. If I'm locally connected to my wifi, no prob but then what's the point of using a remote app if I'm at home. Other apps I can get to work, but they are slow compared to Splashtop.

I'm about to return my Vibrant to T-mobile. I was able to install T959UVJFD using Odin, but I want to know if there is a way to re-enable the hardware lock so the phone is exactly like it was when I received it? Can anybody steer me in the right direction?

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Odin back to JFD Stock reboot and you are done. Do not root. It will be just like the original lame slower than snail 2.1 Tmo. remember to erase all contacts and any personal information
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bendezium:
Thats what I did, but it didn't re-enable the hardware lock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
They are not going to care about hardware lock or not
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
There isn't a hardware lock that came stock with the phone though... it was a software fault which liked people out of safety measures.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
yeah, they aren't going to be pricks and look at every detail of the phone.

I've sent in phone's with custom ROMS on em' they can get it back to stock in 1 minute with their software magical unicorns...

[Xperia Arc General] hpsauce37:
I have noticed that the arc (like my old x10) has a secondary screen protector under the standard flimsy one that comes off easy when you first get the device.

Have you guys removed yours?

Are other users just placing new screen protectors onto this not knowing its there?

Many people may not even notice its there.
[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
Most people (like me) didn't remove it. and i think the most here know it now.
[Xperia Arc General] vincent.hsy:
The pre-applied layer is called the "shatter proof sheet". It is more sticky than the normal screen protectors (to protect against glass shattering if you drop it).

I just leave it there and when it is totally scratched, will replace with a normal screen protector.
[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
I got ARC from someone so pre-applied protactor was scratched so i removed it & applied the one i got in box :p
[Xperia Arc General] errevi:
I have try to apply the screen protector too without success because of the stickers that didn't come off properly leaving glue on the film... disappointing :mad:

Ok, the phone is rooted and SuperManager installed, how do I go about removing ooVoo?? Can't figure it out..
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I used SuperManager for only one purpose: ensuring that Streakmod Recovery wasn't overwritten when I next rebooted the phone. That involved going into the system partition and renaming install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak. If you're not sure of what you are doing, then DO NOT go into the system partition and muck around. You will turn your phone into a brick faster than I can snap my fingers.

To uninstall Oovoo, I used Root Uninstaller, which should be free on the Market. At the same time I backed up Copilot, Evernote, Pageonce, Amazon MP3, Napster, and Zinio Reader to the SD card and wiped them out of the system partition. I know I could delete more, like all the parts of the Stage UI and their related programs, but I chose not to.
[Streak 5 General] wickedstangs:
Should I backup ooVoo and wipe off SD card?
[Streak 5 General] jholmes5:

I think I am going to give it a couple more days otherwise I'd rather downgrade just because I am having the same issues you mentioned.

Could somebody please copy and paste or PM his/her build.prop? I am thinking of downgrading and I am sure that the annoying 'new update" triangle will be popping up like crazy,I believe the only way to disable that is by changing the build.prop.

Nevermind I've just changed the version of the rom and no more annoying pop up triangle.

[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
1. Root the phone. Instructions are all over the forums.

2. Install Super Manager from the Market.

3. Run Super Manager.

4. Select "File Explorer".

5. Navigate to "install-recovery.sh" in /system/etc.

6. Tap the Streak's Menu button.

7. Tap "Switch System R/W". On the prompt that follows, tap "R/W".

10. Long press on "install-recovery.sh" and select "Rename" from the menu that appears.

11. Change "install-recovery.sh" to "install-recovery.sh.bak".

12. Repeat steps 6 and 7. On the prompt, select "Read Only". This is simply a bit of insurance in case something unforseen happens.

13. Exit from Super Manager and reboot the Streak.
