[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
Originally, that may have been true. But the updates by ViewSonic vastly improved the stock firmware. You have to quit reading old posts, and posts by people who want their tablet to resemble a huge Android phone.

Documented proof? Most of the "proof" is swayed by the "Tap'nTap sucks" mindset. I don't let that foolishness decide what is good or bad. I don't want a 10" tablet that looks exactly like a phone.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
You didn't just disagree. You flat out told him he HAD to install a custom firmware to get apps. That is totally untrue. I needed to set the facts straight.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
Actually, I said he would have problems getting apps that everybody else got easily. Not the same thing at all, but to be fair I should have said SOME apps. Sue me.

Whatever. If you want to drive a stock Mitsubishi Lancer, don't denigrate those of us who have an Evo.

Enough threadjacking here. Anybody having more luck with Vtok?

I managed a connection between tab and laptop, but the video was worse than I imagined.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rohitlepa:
Cool down people

Thank you both for your advice! There are various reasons for me sticking with stock. The tab is mostly used by my wife and she is quite happy with it. It does what she needs it to do. I have installed a lot of apps (from amazon app store, freewarelovers, etc) and a good majority of them work great! There has been no real incentive to install a different ROM.

Now BACK to the original post! As everyone else I have been looking for a video chat app. Latest yahoo messenger with the video plugin has been working great between the tab and the pc, but a few of my wife's friends don't use yahoo and are on google, so wanted to try this out.

Hey anyone has the .apk? Im running TNT Lite 4.40 with build prop set to olympus (Atrix). It says incompatible on the web market grrrr...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] raphenucleus:
The apk is in the attached zip file (I had to compress it to get it under the size limit).

EDIT: I removed the apk originally attached here because people said they were having problems with it. See post #34 for the apk that has been confirmed to work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gotwillk:
is this file safe? when i opened up the app there was a sn in the buddy list called virusbustered@gmail.com
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] raphenucleus:
It certainly should be. I just pulled the apk directly from the data/app folder from my tablet. I originally downloaded it from the market. I just scanned my tablet with lookout and it didn't find anything. I also scanned the apk on my laptop with ESET NOD32 and it didn't find anything either. Are you sure that email address was not in your google contacts previously? Vtok loads the contacts associated with the google account you signed in with and I don't see that contact in my list when I sign in. Has anyone else who installed the apk I uploaded encountered this issue?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gotwillk:
when i signed in with my acct, that was the only name listed in my list. no other names showed up.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
Try to think of somone named Ed that considers themself a "virus-buster," I guess.

:rolleyes:
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] raphenucleus:
Vtok only loads friends that are currently signed into gmail or google talk (available/green, busy/red, or away/yellow) and have video chat enabled (a little video camera icon next to their name instead of a little circle); I think it also loads friends that are signed into their Vtok accounts, but none of my friends have one, so I'm not certain. If no friends that fit these criteria are signed in, no friends will show up in your Vtok buddy list. Did you check in gmail or google talk that you had friends available to video chat?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gotwillk:
yea i was reading the FAQ and only your friends with voice chat or video chat capability will show up on the buddy list. just don't know why this virusbustered is showing up. he's not on my gchat buddy list or in my contacts.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] raphenucleus:
Yeah, I don't know about that. I checked available names in gmail and virusbustered@gmail.com is available, so I don't think it's even a real email address.

Also, I just realized that I misspoke earlier; I actually pulled the apk from the /data/app-private folder from my tablet, not /data/app. I initially looked in /data/app, but the apk wasn't there, just a zip file called com.skymobius.vtok-1.zip that contained image files and various system files. When I looked in /data/app-private, I found the Vtok apk and that's what I uploaded. However, when I looked today, the Vtok apk was in /data/app, not /data/app-private, and the com.skymobius.vtok-1.zip that was initially there had disappeared. I'm attaching the apk that I got from /data/app today. I uninstalled Vtok and reinstalled it using the apk I'm attaching and it worked fine, so hopefully this will fix the problem for you.

The apk is in the attached zip file (I had to compress it to get it under the size limit). Don't try to flash it, it's not that kind of file.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] amusedkid:
Yup the new apk works :) thanks!

So, I must be the only one having audio problems with this app? I'm getting a 4-5 second delay on the audio. Really bad.

My friend at work wants his phone(dinc, same as mine) rooted and the crap he doesnt use removed. If the bootloader is still s-on from a z4 root temp root will the phone spaz out? Also will removing any crap from the phone make it not take the gingerbread update? Sorry for the semi-noobish question, i just dont know.....

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
As far as the gingerbread update question, not sure, we'll all have to wait and see. I'm guessing you'll have to go back to stock to get it. I remember with the 2.2 OTA that stock rooted phones would get the OTA message, reboot and do nothing, but the message would continually pop up. I don't see the gingerbread OTA coming soon either (soon being the next month or two).

If the temp root gives him read/write permissions to /system, I would recommend creating a directory called /system/backup or something, and then move the apk's from /system/app to that directory; or rename the apk's to .bak (ex: CityID.apk to CityID.bak), and then if it is needed just rename it back to .apk. I wouldn't just delete them, and personally I like/do the creating a new directory thing.

The s-on thing wouldn't affect this, so as long as the temp root gives read/write permissions to /system you should be able to do what I've mentioned above.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
Okay. I tried renaming apps. The phone would reboot whenever it would try to sleep. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Sent from my ADR6300 with teh 3g's cause my routers capped.....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I'd rename them back to their original names. Have you used/good with ADB at all? If the /system has r/w permission, then using ADB to do all of this is a lot easier. You'll need the Android SDK installed to be able to use the ADB command.

I'm thinking that if it is a temp root thing, doesn't it revert back to stock after a reboot or something like that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
No familiarity with adb, and yes, all apps were renamed upon reboot. Kinda like i never had r/w permission. We dont have a computer at work and bloat freezer makes the phone reboot too. :/

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
What steps did you take in rooting the phone? I'd recommend rooting with unrevoked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Sounds like the temp root thing isn't going to allow what you're trying to do. You'd have to root it with Unrevoked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardofyendor:
Have you tried the freeze function of Titanium? not sure if it would work in this instance, but worth a try...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
Cant use unrevoked. No computer to run it at work. And my laptops useless (5min to load google chrome) :/ so ill give him temp root, and set him up with setcpu. Freezing doesnt work at all and makes the phone reboot.

Sent from my ADR6300
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
There's really no computer you could use it on? Unrevoked only takes like 5-10 minutes. I don't know anything about temp root, everyone seems to use unrevoked forever.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Oh I see, I'm familiar with those. Pretty useless for rooting a phone unfortunately..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Permanent root is needed, otherwise it'll give you issues, since it'll give you temp root only. Setcpu won't be able to access root on a reboot, and will cause issues.

Anyone using Tango app to do video calls with other platforms ie Iphone4? I tried with my gf's iphone4 today, I could see her but she see's my rear camera (no pun intended), my front facing camera does not work with this app =(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
ya same problem here - and oovoo and fring do the same thing. QIK seems to work with the proper camera though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k12.usmc:
yup same here. that was the first problem i ran into with this phone. just use a mirror in front of u. will probably get fixed soon tho with either with an update or the switch to gingerbread. not sure why the app doesn't recognize that there are 2 cameras which is the reason why we don't see the switch camera toggle normally located on the top right corner. i have a feeling its not tangos fault but with lg and their half-baked software.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
do you know if there is qik for iphone4?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AfghanCamper:
Reason being for this is G2X came out recently and developers at Tango just recently got their hands on it. You should be expecting an update shortly on it working though.

[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Just flash the newer zip in recovery.
[EVO 4G General] disazter380:

Yes. Nandroid JIC. Wipe cache and dalvik and just flash over. :)
[EVO 4G General] disazter380:
Thanks a bunch fellas
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
After you flash the new CM zip, be sure to flash gapps (if you use it) and any other zips you've flashed. You won't lose your data (as long as you didn't wipe it), but you will lose any customizations that you flashed that write to /system (which would be most of them).
[EVO 4G General] housry23:
If you have already flashed gapps on an earlier version of CM and are just updating to a newer version of CM you do not have to flash gapps again. Just wipe cache and davlik and flash the update and kernel if you use a custom kernel and that's it.
[EVO 4G General] Mr.Shroom:
Are you coming from a Sense based ROM?

oh btw this should have been post in the Q&A section
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
While this does work, there have been some builds that cause gapps to need to be reflashed. Flashing gapps everytime doesn't hurt.
[EVO 4G General] disazter380:
Mr. Shroom here's the situation...

My current rom is cm 7.0.2. im trying to flash 7.0.2.1 and keep my apps and settings in tact. Im trying to do this via rom manager. A step by step guide would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
Step 1: get rid of clockworkmod recovery (flash "alternate" Amon Ra using ROM manager)

Step 2: download 7.0.2.1 from one of the many mirrors

Step 3: (optional) move zip to root or folder such as 1roms

Step 4: reboot into recovery

Step 5: once in recovery make a nandroid backup

Step 6: flash new zip

Step 7: wipe cache and dalvic

Step 8: (optional) while in recovery go to other>fix apk uid mismatches

Step 9: Profit!
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
I've followed the steps you describe before, and I lost everything Google related -- my google contacts and calendars were gone. It wasn't an option to add it back until I re-flashed gapps.
[EVO 4G General] SquallLHeart:
simple. download 7.0.2.1.. wipe your cache.. make a backup if you desire..

and flash it.

no need to wipe your data if you're just upgrading CM

[General Topics] USAFREEBIRD:
I have a D1 and I rooted it. It says I have root access and I can use any program that requires SU permissions. When I try to reboot into recovery it goes to factory not clockworkmod like it should. any suggestions....:confused:
[General Topics] Xadro:
You'll need to install CWM Recovery first. This can be done the EZDZ way using an app called ROM Manager
[General Topics] USAFREEBIRD:
I already have that. Even going through there it does the same thing.
[General Topics] king kratos:
I highly suggest that you open Rom Manager and scroll to the very bottom. Then, click on Flash Alternate Recovery, wait for it to finish, then scroll to the top and click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.

If that doesn't work, you may need to flash the alternate recovery, flash clockwork, flash alternate recover, then flash clockwork again. If that still doesn't work, try flashing the alternate recovery and see if SPRecovery will work for you.

You also have the option of flashing either of those two or RZRecovery with ADB.

So, you have many options and hopefully the first one will work for you.

Good luck!

Thank you for the advice. I've tried this and I still get stuck with the opening splash screen. Anyone else?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Try booting the HD2 without te sim card or the SD card in, bit do it ome at a time so you can see of the sim card of SD card might be giving you a problem.

If no joy with that option, then put the HD2 in a sealable plastic bag and then in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes then try to bootx it. If it boots then the device is more than likely experiencing hardware problems. So if the HD2 is still umder warranty flash the stock ROM and SPL back to the HD2 and send it in for repair or ecxhange.
[HD2 General] musicalchino:
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, it seemed to be a hardware problem. I sent it back to HTC and they repaired it for a small fee. Now I seem to be having problem with it reading sim cards so I'm not really too sure whats going on with that.

HI everyone it seems that i have the same problem now, i dont know if i should open a new thread. Anyways, i installed RiffleLock v14 and combined it with live wallpaper.

When it starts, same problem arises, phone keeps on rebooting... can anyone help me on this?

kutos for not starting a new thread! (btw what you describe for your android is called nand.)

my suggestion: start over. flash back to WM, then reinstall android on nand. takes ~15 minutes and will give you a clean start. otherwise, who knows what happened. or at the mininum, reflash your rom. or flash a new rom. but i like the WM option as you can see if is hardware or software as the culprit.

however, reboots can also be to bent battery pins.

Tried and checked that battery pins too! But actually it was the hard reset that baffles me. It takes like a second only, and it restarts. But when it do restarts it is like i did not do a hard reset. I like the advise you gave me, but the problem is i only had this phone for a little than 2 weeks. I cant even flash this coz it is stuck on bootscreen, I cant follow even tutorials on you tube coz it doesn't show that it was messed up like mine before they started flashing it. It's like a "Where do i begin Love Story song lol!!

I tried to contact the person who sold me this phone at ebay but he wont respond.

So what choices do i have here, i dont know how to flash with the current situation of my phone. Am even thinking of mailing this to anyone and giving me a dual boot then and just freakin pay and spend more over this phone. I dont have a choice.....

Any more suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.

hard reset ,nothin changed
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
i think we are talking about a couple of different things here (maybe).

when i say hard reset i mean - boot into bootloader (3 colored screen) - reboot holding volume key down - and via usb or sdcard flash back to windows mobile. have you done that? can you get to bootloader?

sucks you're having issues...
[HD2 General] earthworm1102:
Yeah i can go to the 3 colored screen. That is actually the first i see before the "white screen"... can you teach me how to do that kind of hard reset??

I dont have WinMo anymore... the guy that sold me this phone put Android as the main OS.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
doing a hard reset when magldr/android is installed is pointless, because it doesnt reset anything, (or i think ive seen it said that it hard resets magldr, the effect is the same, , , nothing happens) which is why it only took a few seconds.

still got a leoimg.nbh on your sd card? could explain the white screen,,,

thats not a hard reset, thats flashing back to stock.
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
yep yep. tis what i meant.

@ the op, since you didn't put the rom on your phone, i would flash back to stock (aka back to windows mobile) and get rid of android. then put back android. see what happens.

read this thread, #5 to be exact to get back to windows mobile:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893948

this will get rid of android, save your hspl which will make putting android back on easy. however, if the problem exists in wm, is out of my knowledge, and is not seemingly software and more likely hardware. but if samsamuel thinks different, he knows a ton, and has helped me out of many a pickle. cheers.
[HD2 General] earthworm1102:
K bro. Thanks!! +1 thanks for you!!!!
[HD2 General] earthworm1102:
@samsamuel am talking about the white screen wherein you will hard reset ( holding volume up/down and red key). Oh well. I just talked to the person whom i bought the phone he will just put back original rom and i might just have a dual boot. Hope this will be much better. Thanks guys!!

Learn from our mistakes.... this will be sticky for me!!!

guess samsamuel is the man!!!
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
well glad you will have a solution. but just so you know - dual boot means one of two things - WM on your phone and android on the SD card or WindowsPhone7 on your phone and android on your SD card. No "real" dual boot per se.

honestly, i would try to look at putting on your preferred rom. good luck!
[HD2 General] earthworm1102:
You mean dual boot isn't good? Is that more of a disadvantage rather than an advantage. Or will a noob like me f@##ed this phone again and will be in more trouble?
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
Not saying good or bad. Rather dual boot means android is on your SD card. Very easy to get this going. Wont hurt your system. Just being informative.

I prefer nand android but that is my preference. If you will never use windows mobile and only android I would forget dual....but is all about preference. Cheers.
