[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] likearaptor:
It looks like B&N has the list of applications it installs through the Shop app. So until someone finds that database and how to manually add apps you will need to install a third part launcher. You can search the market for a home switcher application in the meantime if you like the stock launcher
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romp:
Yeah, I have a home switcher installed already.

I really hope someone finds a way to override that list of apps that show up soon.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCF4N:
A workaround was brought up in the Manual Rooter thread about this. Basically, the workaround (and I'm running it right now) is to push the old BN 1.1's applauncher.apk to your system/app (should probably back it up first) and when you press the "Extras" button choose "applauncher"... everything will show up. The upside is now you can use default "Home" button but the downside is that the "Extras" tab doesn't populate new apps you install until a reboot.

Here's the applauncher.apk from 1.1 that I'm using.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mucoww:
Go to "Apps"

Tap on the "Archived" button

While holding the volume up hardkey, tap on the image of the speaker that appears.

This brings up the 1.1 "Extras"

Hi i rooted using the gingerbread hack from the acer iconia a500 thread regarding root. Superuser was granted. I installed ES Explorer . . . I was able to copy original supplicant from system/bin to another folder and renamed it wpa_supplicant.old. Then, I unzipped the xoom supplicant using ES Explorer then renamed it wpa_supplicant. However, when I try to paste the file into system/bin ES Explorer won't allow it.

Please help!

Use root explorer. It worked for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] Slowie911:
first please dont bump your thread its annoying i promise someone will get to you. secondly your problem is in es file explorer in the settings their is an option called "Root options" in their you need to tick "Root Explorer" and then tik "Mount File System"

it then allows you to write to the bin folder i think. if not then im affraid youll have to use root explorer

Obviously when the screen is locked and you press the power button, you should see the lock screen right?

Well, this is not always the case for me. It's been many times that right after pressing down the power button, I can see my home screen for an instant and then the lock screen.

I'm a new android user and have had this problem with both LauncherPro and GoLauncher. This is a little bit annoying and I'm not sure if it is a common thing between android phones. Is there any way to fix that problem?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oilfighter:
This happens to me too, a lot...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
First thing I noticed about the phone. When I press unlock I see whatever is active for a split second, then the lock screen. Also, the clock seems to need refreshing when the screen is turned back on. First time seeing this on any android device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
This happens to me every single time I unlock my phone. Extremely annoying. Not a problem for me personally, but a huge issue for some people. Never had this problem on any of my other android phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
I've only had that issue when I lock it while having a program running in the foreground, it will show that screen for a split second, then the lock pattern. When I'm on the homescreen and lock it, then push the power button, it shows the lock pattern the way it should.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Its a bug that has been identified. It will be fixed in gingerbread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Mine does it too, also the battery status when charging takes half a second to update when you wake the display.

I don't understand why it's any concern, it's not like someone could steal much info in that split second.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
Does this also happen with CM7? I haven't flashed it yet because I'm waiting for at least a RC. Seems like a weird bug to have, but if it's being fixed with the Gingerbread update then that can't be far away, either. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
I guess that depends on what you do on your phone. For me it's just an annoyance.

It's these kinds of bugs, though, that stop corporate environments from adopting Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
no didnt notice it in cm7. im using eagleblood and it barely happens. happens more on stock between the 3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
I'm also on EaglesBlood and it happens about 25% of the time. Even if it's just sitting on the home screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aironeous:
OMG so terrible!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samansh:
FYI I still have this annoying issue after update to GB. Android is the most unpolished and unstable phone OS I've ever used...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
not android

although android may not be perfect it is a very powerful OS.

But don't compare what LG has done to it as the norm. LG is obviously very poor at programming android.

I dont think there is an OS that can be more modified than android. unfortunatley the phone manufacturers have decied they neeed to modify the os so they have something unique. and not a one of them has done wthis without ruining the OS in process. Moto blur is the worse. Lg's phones have the poorest excuse for the android os.

sense looks pretty but is a resource hog.

Havent had a samsung. but the ones i see they seem to have done the best job at their changes without lagging the os.

But stick android when given proper drivers and basebands run great.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] freakboy13:
Its normal. Happens all the time. But what sux is sometimes if you touch the screen before the lockscreen comes back it will bypass the lockscreen. Happened to me several times. That's my only beef makes lockscreen worthless and probably hackable I would assume . Otherwise iccl
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enyahs:
The only time I ever notice this is when you lock it and unlock within like three to five seconds. If you give the OS time to operate and lock it and unlock it like.. A minute later. I don't think it happens. At least not to me.

Edit: actually more like unlocking it ten seconds within locking it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] propain4444:
Wow... seriously? Do we have to ***** and moan about EVERY LITTLE THING we see?

This "bug" has been around for a VERY long time - I've seen this happen off and on since Eclair on the N1, yet i've never seen a flame thread about it, nor have i ever thought: "OMG THIS IS SUCH A TERRIBLE PROBLEM!!"... Let alone attribute it to identifying Android as unpolished or unstable.

Seriously, what effect does this really have on you? It flashes so fast, that it's gone before you can move your finger from the power button to the unlock slider. It has no impact on the performance or functionality of the device whatsoever... It doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.

It has nothing to do with LG, the G2X, or any specific version of Android. It is because the lock screen (just like every other piece of software on the phone) is an app. When the screen is turned on, that app must be launched. The fact that you sometimes see the homescreen is an artifact of that app being launched when the screen is turned on. Would you rather that the lock screen run all the time in the background, just waiting for you to turn the screen on? My guess is you'd all ***** about the battery drain, or some other side effect if it were set up that way.

I'm really starting to think that 50+% of G2x owners are spoiled, and have a very over inflated sense of entitlement... And it's getting old. If you think it's so bad, please feel free to switch to an iPhone, Blackberry, or WinMo device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
SOLUTION

GUYS! Check out Xboarder's tweaked GB OTA in the dev section. All the stock goodness without this annoying bug. It's rooted too!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] propain4444:
I'm running that ROM. Still happens occasionally.

p.s. FWIW this seems to be more common when using launchers other than the stock launcher. Which makes complete sense if you think about it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samansh:
Thanks for your explanation, but as an end-user I don't care about why it's not working. Also if they are unable to fix this issue after years or a possible fix is ****ty and has its own side-effects, this is their problem not mine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Wow. I did not know they were using the same defective lock screen that long. You would think they would figure it out by now.A known bug, yet they are unable to fix it? The kids at google need to pick up their game. Kinda sad they can not even get something simple like a lock screen to work properly. Maybe they need to hire some of the devs from XDA.

My Nexus S Doesn't Do This? Stock

But My G2x Does This, Its Annoying.. Extremely Annoying
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
I have to agree. Installed it with the updated baseband from gb ota and its never glitched the lock screen since. At all... and the offscreen animation is a nice plus
[T-Mobile LG G2x] propain4444:
Honestly, i'd rather they prioritize issues that have an effect on usability of the phone, rather than trivial aesthetics that don't affect functionality in any way.

I'm creating an application similar to the link given here, where it shows three images transisition from one state to another when click.

1) Stage 1: When a button is clicked from another activity it enters a new activity which shows a listview of video files stored in a video directory.

2) Stage 2: When a video file is being click it does not immediately play the video instead it shows a dialog box showing the detail of the file.

3) Stage 3: The user could either Exit, select play video or show roadmap details...

Could someone help me i'm kinna new in android/java here, i'm totally lost on how to start creating the above views like how do i populate the Listview with existing video files found in my video directory?
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
without a specific question on how to go about implementing a certain part of a view (** just saw you asked about how to populate the list view with existing videos **), i'd point you to the great view tutorials in the android documentation. there is plenty of source and xml to get you going. it will get you going on how to implement certain views in android. and the way android uses xml to create layouts makes it very easy to nest views in a hierarchical structure.

http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/index.html

Once you create your listview you can setOnClickListener on each cell to have it launch the dialog you create.

[Android Software Development] imso:
Oh well i'm stuck with the listview then... Not know exactly how to populate the dynamic video onto the listview? :confused:
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Whats wrong with a listview?

Might i suggest starting with small achievable goals like:

1. Create a listview populated with something trivial, like some strings.

2. Make it so when you click the items a toast appears on screen.

3. Now make it so when they are clicked, instead of a toast, an alertdialog appears. One with the three buttons you want in it.

4. Implement the buttons so that one takes you to view the item that you clicked on. Maybe goto another activity that just displays the string fullscreen.

5. Lastly change the strings to videos and make each step work as it should.

This way if you have any bugs or questions they can be targeted towards the specific step you are on

Hi

Recieved my transformer today and after a few hrs with it, I was totally impressed. It is by far the most beautiful tablet I have had. From an ipad, a tmo galaxy tab and the Gtablet, this one is a keeper. A few things:

1. For some reason when the asus is connected to a USB hub attached to my 27" iMac, it would not charge. I had to connect it directy to an AC source.

2. How do I use the "MyNet" feature to gain access to the videos and files on my macintosh? I saw a message about DLNA from the tab, but don't have any idea how to set it up from the Mac.

3. I read that Asus was providing some sort of cloud storage for the transformer, but I cannot locate the info or an app on the tablet so I can take advantage of that feature. Is there a sign-up page for this online storage cloud service?

4. Is there any macintosh software available which would allow me to access the sdcard on the eee pad? I am able to do this via windows from Parallels, but would like to have access also from the Apple side.

5. Which HDMI type cable should I be getting for the Transformer?

6. Is there a short "root" method I can use apart from this one ...

I am not comfortable for this long process to have cwm on the Tab. Will wait for an easier method. Just need root for now.

My unit came fully updated, and software update hasn't found any thing new.

Kudos to Asus for engineering such an awesome tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrayAdjacent:
#1 is easy - USB ports on computers (any computer) only provide about 500mA of current. This is not enough to charge a tablet device. If you look at the output rating of the adapter with your Transformer, it's probably something like 5V, 1800mA.

Simply put - USB ports on computers don't put out enough juice.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:

Sorry I don't know enough about macs to give advice on that. :) All i know is that on the asus site, it doesnt mention mac support at all, which leads me to believe there isn't, nor will there be, any software to make it compatible on the mac.

I guess you could use a windows emulator as a workaround or even install a proper version of it on a partition.

Well the software they provide for windows is indeed a DLNA client/server, so in a sense the mechanics are identical, not to mention you can work with with Ext3 in Mac os (Much faster streamingpotential compared to NTFS).

Not quite.

The Transformer PSU puts out 15v at 1.2A on a pin that is normally used by USB3 (Not present at all on USB2)
