I absolutely LOVE "SPB Shell 3D" it ran good on 2.2 or 2.2.1 you just had to let it set in, kinda like a ROM this launcher needed a little grace period on initial install to run smoothly. On any gingerbread 2.3 or higher I have not experienced any lag whatsoever and all the animations just fly! Seriously everyone should check this one out.:)

i have a pioneer premier that worked flawlessly with my iphone. it has 2 usb inputs, and aux in. I WANT TO CONNECT VIA USB. Please dont offer advise about bluetooth or headphone jack.

Normally, if i plug the phone into the laptop, i can choose all the options like charge only, mount as disk drive, etc. When i plug the phone into the wall outlet, i do not get any options, it just charges. When i plug it into the car stereo usb, it just charges, and i dont get any options to turn on mount as hard drive.

does anyone know how i can "force" it to mount as a hard drive, or how the phone actually knows its a laptop and an outlet? maybe i can jumper some wires, or something.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Marcus, I'm not sure if it is an SD card issue. It's possible, however, if you've tried a separate card like you've stated and still got the same error message, my first thought is to reflash your recovery. Afterwards, backup your SD card to your computer and then reformat it. Then do a clean wipe and then reflash your rom.

That is exactly what I am thinking. Start from scratch and get my phone working like its supposed to. Thanks for the inforrmation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I would follow Doug's suggestion. Also, did this just start happening out of the blue? Or was it after making changes / alterations to your sd card (partitioned it maybe?). If there are no problems with a different sd card (if you have one to try), perhaps there is a problem with your card. You could try using windows to check the disk for errors, or perhaps try reformatting it or re partitioning it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:

Acer Launches Alive: “App Store” With Free And Paid Content

Email

Well it appears that Acer is very busy these days. Just after announcing the launch of a monitor and a laptop they are preparing to give to the consumers something that can be assimilated to an “app store”.

And only assimilated because they say it’s more than that: “alive is much more than a traditional content store, as a large breadth of free and paid content is presented to users via real-time feeds directly managed by content providers.”

The content will be provided by Acer partners like: Intel, Adobe and many more. The material can be visualized with the use of Twitter. The sections of the “app store” are: Listen, Watch, Read, Play and Application and will store content that will be both free and pay.

It will be launched next month in UK and Italy and for the rest of the world sometime in the 1st quarter of 2011. Will understand better on what this is more exactly in a couple of weeks when the launch will be made.

This was also coming to Android tablet as well.

Anyone know?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Well, since that Acer has had a bit of a shake up - out with the old and in with the Wang. Who knows if Acer Alive is still in the books.

The problem I'm facing is that I cannot install any apps from the market. Its shows the green progress bar, but no progress.. I've tried waiting for hours, still no luck.

has anyone had success sycing their phone with a blueray player?

i'm trying to sync my phone thru dlna to my bluray (sony bd-s570). no luck so far.

allshare not working, for from what i read BR player must be a samsung also.

i've searched the market with no success too. any help would be appreciated. thanks in adavance!

EDIT: i downloaded a sony bluray remote control app that pairs the phone with the player. under photos, the phone shows up and u can select video, music or photo. i can stream the photos over but when i go to stream a video it says none are found. maybe format issue? in that case how would i change the video format when i record videos? there is no setting i found in android.

I'd like to change the background of system app and notification area with Transparency...

For system app like phone, contacts, setting...

We can change the background as we change semc_bg.png and semc_general_bg.png in framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.

But NO Transparency~~!!!!

For notification area, I tried to change shade_bg.png in SystemUI.apk But Nothing changed.

Could you somebody helpl me which xml and attribute I should modify for this two transparency~~??
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Vintiem:
I see someting strange indeed. It has something to do with core system apps or not.

I have changed in framework-res.apk the file activity_title_bar.9.png.

In every system app (like contacts, sms, settingsmenus) this changed png isn't visible.

But it is changed because in NinjaMorph, root explorer, Traffic statistics, (SE)Office Suite I see the new color (changed png) in the activitybar.

I think this problem is similar with the problem rleon describes in his post above.

Android uses PNG's from framework-res apk, SystemUI.apk and others not always in the same way.

Developer question I think. I hope some of them will give a reaction on this.

Kind regards,

Vintiem

There's no G-Slate forum yet, so this goes here.

How to root your T-Mobile G-Slate

This process works under Linux. The hard part under Windows would be mounting a file as an ext4 filesystem, but if you can do that you win.

You need:

The four files in the gslate_root.zip archive attached to this post.

To root:

Put those four files in a directory and open a terminal to there.

Shut down your G-Slate and plug it into your computer via USB.

Hold down both volume buttons and press the power button. The G-Slate will not appear to turn on, but it'll go into APX mode.

Running "lsusb" should show an entry "0955:7820 NVidia Corp."

Run the command "sudo su" to get a root shell. Running "ls" should still show the four files.

./nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --getpartitiontable ptable.txt

./nvflash -r --read 8 system-orig.img

Wait while 400 meg of data copies.

cp system-orig.img system.img

mkdir system

mount -o loop system.img system

cp su system/bin

chmod 4755 system/bin/su

cp Superuser.apk system/app

umount system

./nvflash -r --download 8 system.img

Wait while it copies back.

./nvflash -r --sync

Press the reset button under the sim cover to reboot.

There's your rooted G-Slate. Making that process "one click" is going to suck.

Troubleshooting:

You may need to install the package libstdc++6 or lib32stdc++6 to get nvflash to run.

You may need to use "sudo" on the nvflash commands.

If you want to try to make this work on Windows, the nvflash.exe binary and the APX USB drivers are are available from nvidia.com

This is unbelievable! Can't wait to give it a shot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bling_Diggity:
EDIT: For future reference, DO NOT use Virtual Box to try and root your device. There are issues getting the drivers to work properly. Lsusb will not work. The following methods have been tested and work:

1. Wubi install of Ubuntu Linux

2. VMware install of Ubuntu Linux

3. Dual-boot install of ""

4. Dedicated Linux box (duh)

And remember: If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Then visit our IRC channel.

Trying this on Windows 7 is gonna be a trip. Never workt with ext4 before.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
Install Ubuntu and you can dual boot into Windows or Ubuntu. That's what I do.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
This method is confirmed working. Thank you so much for the hard work Chandon. It wasn't very hard to complete on Linux. I can't believe my G-Slate is rooted!!!! Hell yes! Oh and the device is not wiped during the process either just to let everyone know!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SmellyTunic:
Some More Help

Would it be possible to pull the recovery partition off now?

Why I ask. I am in a bit of a pickle. My slate will get to the first LG boot screen and then freeze. It does not even go to the boot animation. I can still get into fastboot and APX mode and it is seen by my computer.

How did i get here. While poking around in fastboot I am pretty sure i wiped they recovery partition D'OH.

I was able to complete the steps listed (for root) with out issue but still cannot get past the boot screen since this is only modifying the system partition.

I am thinking that if that could be pulled from the device i could flash it to mine and bring my slate back to life?

Am I way off on this one?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chandon:
SmellyTunic -

Attached are all the reasonably small partitions that I could pull off my device with nvflash. This should be everything except /system, /cache, and /data.

I suggest backing everything up before flashing any of these, on the off chance that there's some difference between devices.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shinkinrui:
Thanks so much for this! Is there a good linux live cd(or bootable usb flash drive) someone could suggest where this could be accomplished easily? Not ready to take the plunge actually installing linux on my system yet >.>
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SmellyTunic:
Here you go

shinkinrui

Info and steps can be found here http://www.ubuntu.com/download

Pretty easy to set up a dual boot machine.

Chandon,

Any chance you know off hand which one of those partitions is the recovery?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chandon:
I suggest doing a Wubi install [1], where Ubuntu pretends to be a Windows app (which you can then uninstall like any other app later). Alternatively you could try using VirtualBox [2], but that's less guaranteed to work.

The only reason I wouldn't do this with a Live CD is that you'd risk losing your backup of the stock /system partition when you reboot. It would also make losing power in the middle of the flash really annoying.

[1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide

[2] (edit: virtual box doesn't easily see the USB device)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shinkinrui:
Thanks guys, reading about that Wubi solution looks like the simplest way to have a dual-boot system. I like it! I'll be getting my root on later tonight :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
i prefer Ubuntu just cause you can install it in windows then simply restart and boot into Linux or Windows. This way you don't need to worry about not having Linux again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chandon:
I'm sure that /system is 8 and the kernel is 13, but don't know about anything else. You might be able to figure it out by reading the ptable.txt file generated by the --getpartitiontable command - it's pretty clear except for the part where it uses 3 letter partition names.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SmellyTunic:
Thanks. I will take a look when i get home from work.
