[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerdog:
Great analogy. =)

The NI software release, if they do in fact follow through with something for once, will be utilizing the exact same GB-compatible drivers that we already have. We already have "official" GB ROMs with the same level of HW accel that anything from NI would come out with. We already have those drivers from nVidia. =)

But you're right in implying that VS won't have to get their hands dirty. =)

Actually.... you're incorrect here. New development is being done completely independent of VS. It's called CyanogenMod-based and AOSP-based ROMs and they are completely different than those based on VS or NI-based ROMs which anything based on those are in fact MODs and tweaks. CM and AOSP ROMs are based on newer code and do include the foundation for hw acceleration.

So to summarize - development is not dead if you're not based on a locked bootloader and stock ROM from VS. If you're based on Google and nVidia then there is definitely development going on. It's all in what your base is.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
You'll have to excuse my ignorance on this issue, as all I've used so far is Vegan-Tab. I love it, it's stable, and I've not seen any inherent problems with it, so I figure, why change?

But, I thought that CM7 and VeganGinger had issues with video playback and 3d video acceleration, since Nvidea is "no longer going to support the Harmony Tegra 2 chipset." I don't know much about CM7, but from reading their website, and observing some of the experimental posts, it doesn't seem that they've been able to truly replicate the drivers that, I believe, Nvidea owes us. Nvidea said that they will provide support and updates if manufacturers requested it. As far as I know, Viewsonic only had one update since they made that statement, and it didn't include anything new from NVidea.

I had assumed that since this rumored NI GB update was official from the manufacturer, that they wouldn't have done it without getting official drivers from Nvidea.

I'm sorry, is there something I'm missing? I thought that it was a big deal that NVidea hasn't provided driver updates for true hardware acceleration, and that it can't be achieved without informaiton from them, and that they've decided ot no longer support...

it's a confusing world in the land of G-Tab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerdog:
The rumored NI GB update is just that - rumor just like all the other NI rumors. We'll see what happens.

As to nVidia - the 3991 update that was later pulled from VS contained updated GB-compatible libs that were from the Gingerbread Ventana system image from nVidia. Those libs were (and still are) in CM7 and AOSP and VEGAn-TAB. Hacks and mods have been inserted to make CM7 work with them and hw accel is functioning much better after pershoot's kernel overclocking.

[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
Hello,

I finally decided I am ready to flash my Galaxy 3 to a new ROM (mostly JPM).

I read through the tutorials and I guess I can pull it off.

But when browsing through the forum, I saw there are many other things that can help during flashing. For example, removing the bootloader to avoid bricking, and backing up the efs partition to avoid losing IMEI.

I want to know any other tips like these or any links to threads that give these tips so that I do not encounter any problems during my first flashing encounter :D

Thanks :)
[Galaxy 3 General] jaskiratsingh:
Refer to below forum to backup your IMEI

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953264&highlight=IMEI

If you are flashing a ROM, remove bootloader and SBL using 7zip or total commander. This removes any chance of hard brick, only chance will be soft brick which you can fix by reflashing.

Happy Flashing
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
thanks for the reply.

any more tips like these?
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
that's it?

nothing else i need to do?
[Galaxy 3 General] rjpalmeida88:
If you have a tar file with bootloader use total commander to delete the files:

-->boot.bin

-->Sbl.bin

-->logo.png

I've flashed so many times my phone and i never had problems without those files.

But, In case of error do not remove the usb cable during the flashing, only remove when appears "PASSED" (in blue background) on ODIN.

In case of any errror just reflash the same rom or any other rom.

Cheers

With regards to the IMEI thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888193

Where should I run the adb shell and other commands for IMEI backup?

Sorry I'm new to rooting so dunno how to do it?
[Galaxy 3 General] OrrPenn18:
Flash a custom ROM it is more preferrable! but JPM also comes with the pre-rooting feature! :) just flash it with ODIN using the one package tick!

When ODIN says PASS remove the cable and enjoy ur New JPM! :)

For backup, backup apps using astro file manager or titanium backup pro!

It will do the trick! :)

[Adam General] roebeet:
What this means is that the newest GTAB stock ROMs (which are based on the Viewsonic 1.2 development branch) have kernels that are compatible with the latest Adam ROMs, and probably vice versa.

We're not sure when these became compatible, but it must have been sometime in March, as NI was releasing new firmware. I have a few 1.2-based GTAB mods over in Slatedroid and I just flashed both Adam stock and the Beast ROM kernel on it, and it's booting up fine ("Mountain Laurel" is the ROM, btw). The current crop of GTAB ROMs in XDA are still 1.1-based and thus NOT compatible with the Adam kernels. So keep that in mind.

This is still early in the process so there could be bugs to work out - we know that the cameras are different and the volume buttons are reversed, but so far I don't see any issues that could not be tweaked. I'm going to do more testing over the weekend.
[Adam General] xiadz:
thx roebeet

so there will be busy time for ADAM:) HC just behind the corner and probably newer roms from GTAB also possible to flash hymm

nice:)
[Adam General] roebeet:
Similar, but not the same -- and the kernels are compatible, but there are some things different between the two (like the g-sensor). Still, it's a good sign that the development branches between the Adam, the newer zPad and 1.2 dev branch for the GTAB appear to be the same.
[Adam General] no6969el:
None the less this is good new as it opens the amount of developers that could assist the adam crowd in one way or another.

Anyways I was having issues with the GR- 12 Rom, whenever i make a phone call or try to the phone app crashes and my signal and data go away for a while then come back or i have to reboot. Does the same thing when someone calls me it just crashes. I've tried restoring back to stock, wiping everything and reinstalling it, still had the same problem. I tried searching the thread didn't look like it was a problem for anyone else. Anyone else have this problem or know the solution for it? Thanks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuna:
you need to redownload gr-12, and put new phone.apk to system/app/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkjeeper:
"these rom is awesome" while super helpful, is pointless, keep these posts in your head.

There are 2 threads you need to read, in android developement there is a gr-12 thread, read it, there's also a q&a thread for gr-12 in, funny enough, q&a, read it too, when you're done reading, then post a question in the q&a section.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamiyo:
Hey,

If you haven't solved the problem yet (downloading the new gr-12 would help) but here's something else:

I was having this issue too, then browsed the gr-XX thread.

Go to page 193, and download the phone.apk someone posted from gr-11.

Use root explorer or adb to put it in system/app (delete the one there first, and in between the annoying fc notifications paste the phone.apk you dl'd there)

Haven't had a problem after that yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckZz:
I heard you had to edit these .9 pictures files a certain way (When building a rom) Does anyone have a tutorial handy? I'm using Adobe Photoshop but didn't want to risk screwing the whole thing up
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
I'm not an expert, but if you are just themeing an existing 9patch file, you can drop the file into GIMP or whatever and it should be fine. That is as long as the image was unzipped from a ROM and not decompiled. If it's decompiled things can get hairy in my experience. If you are decompiling apk's I would drop the 9patch files into the 9patch tool located in the /tools folder of the android SDK. This editor will allow you to fix the pixel border around the image.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
I don't have a guide but the #1 thing to do is to decompile the APK that you're working with. I know that you can just rename the .apk to .zip and extract stuff, but that will not allow you to edit the .9 files properly.(edit: at least not in Photoshop)

After you decompile the APK, edit the files as normal with one exception. You'll notice that all of the .9 files have a 1 pixel sort of blank area with some parts being black and some being white; that's the actual resizing stuff part of the .9 files. Edit your files while keeping that 1px edge intact. When done and saved, recompile the .apk and the .9 files will be good to go.

This has happened to me before when my GF is texting me. I'm not sure if shes using stock MMS app or not. But for me, sometimes handcent says it couldnt send out the message and gives you an option to resend. It might be just that and the network is backed up or something which results in duplicate sent text. I recently switched back to stock MMS and havent had a hitch yet.
[Vibrant General] chui101:
I've gotten this before, a few years ago... I called T-Mobile and the rep told me they were having network problems, and gave me 200 free text messages for the "inconvenience" (I was on a plan with 300 texts then, and wasn't really inconvenienced... just very curious).

Back then, though, I would get random double texts and texts recieved with wrong timestamps so my phone would get confused. It hasn't happened to me for years though.

As mentioned in the title, I know there are mainly Cricket users here, I have been reading for a while, but just joined. I am a dev, but am just now getting into Android development, and have just a couple questions. Before I start, I would like to point out that I do have the Sprint images that are available, and will explain my situation. Because Sprint shut down the 2.2 updates, I am currently on 2.1.

I am on my second Zio at the moment, as I loaded the wrong images onto it. (I have both Cricket and Sprint images, and wasnt paying attention). I rooted and started clearing out bloatware, but, I uninstalled a few things that I shouldnt have...I put them back, of course.

Well, I put them back in the /system/app folder, put it back to r/o permission, restarted my phone, and poof...all those apps were missing from both my SD card and the /system/app folder. So now, I cant open my market, load my Google account for syncing, add contacts, etc. In essence, if it doesnt pertain to Google directly, it works. Factory reset does not reload everything.

I wanted to reload the system.img, but I cannot find a decent ROM backup app that I dont have to use the market for- any suggestions?

Second, is there a way I can reload these specific apps, as to get things working how they should? A .zip file, or anything packaging these apps?

I am sorry if these are answered elsewhere, I just have not come across them. Also, sorry for this being so long.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
OK, I'm gonna guess you have root explorer or similar and root access... You probably need to change the permissions of the system apps back to 0644 or rw r r then reboot. I personally mess with system apps and their permissions alot. If your phone gives you too much trouble but still boots the system and you have the Android SDK you can do adb shell then chmod 0644 /system/appnamehere.apk then reboot.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] fret_king061:
Yes, I do have Root Explorer. I havent messed a lot with the SDK, but, based on what youre saying, it contains the apps I need to replace? For a bit more insight, the apps that are missing are Google Talk, Google Apps, and Gmail. I tried keeping my system apps as r/w, but that did not help. I also got the .apks of the aforementioned apps, but the installs do not work. I got Google Talk to at least crash, instead of immediately closing, which is what Gmail and the Market do. From what I have been able to do, as I havent been near my system with the SDK on it, changing the permissions does not make a difference. I will keep playing with it and get back with the results.

Ok, I'm drunk... Don't flash anything when you're drunk... Word to the wise.

Ok, I tried to update Continuum 2.3.3 from MIUI... Totally ignored flashing back to stock and then redoing it... But, I tried to flash directly to Continuum and installed the bootloaders while MIUI is still loaded. Now, if I try to enter download mode the the 3 button combo, it acts like it tries to get to the battery icon but never does and goes to a static screen, then boots up. Everything works... everything, so it's not bricked. But, I can't get into download mode to Flash JI6.

Any advice?
