[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Rooting gives you user rights over a deeper level in Android OS.

Much as admin rights allowing modification of hidden system files in windows .

Its not another kernel just that using this method via a modified kernel is the only rooting method available yet .

Basic faqs SGS 1 applies also for most to SGS 2 but as SGS2 is new less development so far .

What is root/rooting?

root is the user account in Linux with all privileges. The root user can edit anything on the system. For safety reasons, users do not have all those privileges. When you root your phone, you will gain write access to areas of the phone you couldn't previously access and are allowed to run more commands in the terminal. Because applications do not get a lot of priviledges, some of them require you to root the device in order for them to function properly (or fully). T

If all of this means nothing to you then you are probably wise to NOT root your phone. Mistakes using root can break your phone very easily. (Usually, but not always, these can be solved with a reflash)

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] chinly43:
Hi everyone,

I though it'd be helpful to at least attempt to centralize the discussion on this, since everything's a little spread out. To summarize what I think we know so far:

1) Netflix streaming DOES NOT WORK on our G2 when running CM7-stable.

2) Netflix streaming DOES work on a G2 running stock 2.2.

3) Netflix streaming DOES work on a G2 running CM7-RC2.

4) Netflix streaming DOES work on other devices running CM7-stable.

5) Netflix streaming DOES work on UNSUPPORTED devices running CM7-stable, such as the Nook Color, when the build.prop is spoofed to replicate OUR PHONE.

Given the above facts, I thought it would be appropriate to submit this to bug tracker. If you think it deserves it, you can star the issue here - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3723. I also think that if possible, further discussion should happen within this specific topic (or some other centralized one), so that people aren't out of luck by not happening to find the one topic in a dozen where progress was made.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] chinly43:
I played a video using my nook, then tried with the G2, and collected logs via DDMS. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to filter just for errors or not, so I didn't - these are the raw log files, attached here.

EDIT - I had to save the G2 log in word, because it was too big of a .txt file.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DRSdroid:
hmm.. i tried Netflix on my G2 lastnight after reverting to CM7 RC2 and had the same problem. I'll try again tonight though, this time i'll uninstall the app, clear cache and flash CM7 RC2 and then reinstall app
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dhilberg:
I thought I read somewhere that people were saying it DOES work on the leaked T-Mobile Gingerbread build for G2. So it's something directly related to CM7 itself. I'm running nightly 74 and it does not work.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] trickinit:
I've actually tried it on the leaked Gingerbread ROM and it didn't work there either. It did however give me a blank white screen instead of a black screen though. I have gotten it to work on my G2 on both stock 2.2 and CM6. I also have a Defy running CM7 (not a stable build) and it works perfectly on it. It's got to be some combination of Gingerbread and the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xsteven77x:
It straight up says in the netflix app description:

HTC G2 - Android 2.2. Mystery solved as to why it does not work on gingerbread.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jjank11:
Yes, this is exactly why. Not sure the exact reason why. Nexus one and nexus s are only ones that work on gingerbread.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] aiziks251:
Does anyone have a prop file for the nexus one running android 2.3? Maybe that would work for us the same way the g2 prop file worked for g2x users?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xsteven77x:
Been stated by people in the know (not me), that it's not a build/identifying issue. It's a rom issue. The rom developer will have to re-work the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] chinly43:
People have claimed to have it working on RC2, so it can't be that.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jjank11:
Well, might be, but just sounds odd that people are using the g2 build.prop to get Netflix working on other devices not even supported by Netflix yet. I'm not saying its the build.prop and certainly sounds like a ROM issue but that just strikes me as odd.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jjank11:
How do you get the logs? Any way you can make the g2 logs a regular .doc or .txt?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] chinly43:
I have DDMS open while I run the app and try to play something, and just note where the app starts and stops by watching then export the relevant parts.

It's too long for either of those file type, but .docx is the default from word, if you can't open it on your laptop then I bet google docs could do it if you save then upload it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xsteven77x:
Not in any way doubting you but I have not seen these posts. Would love to see how they did it to investigate some.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xsteven77x:
I can't believe the lengths that everyday people are going to for this netflix app. Nothing wrong with it, just crazy. We could solve world hunger if people would funnel this type of energy to something else lmfao!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DRSdroid:
i've read online about people getting the app running on their Droid X and Nook Color, but the info is scarce, and i haven't read anywhere about what device they had set in their build.prop
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] chinly43:
Whoops, accidentally hit thanks instead of quote. Anyway,

I have my NC running netflix, it takes two simple build.prop changes to the model and manufacturer lines, making them HTC Vision and HTC. That's all, then it works.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jjank11:
After comparing the logs of my N1 and G2, it seems as if the G2 cyanogen build does not have the drm. When the G2 Netflix app goes to check OMXCORE it returns drm_play not available, whereas the N1 checks out fine and get a bunch of OMXCORE checks.

Also if I'm not mistaken, the G2 (and many other phones) does not officially have gingerbread yet so it only makes sense that 2.2 is the prereq for all the non-nexus phones.

So it would make sense for it to work on other devices that had the DRM, if you just simply changed the build.prop id's
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] supermario12312:
I posted this elsewhere, but I thought it would be useful to put it here to. The Dropbox link is a .txt, btw.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] prp2:
Incorrect. I just changed that (manufacturer line already was HTC, but the model was T-Mobile G2) and rebooted. Same issue. Audio plays fine, but video is just a white screen.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tekken179:
Currently I am running the Cyanogen Froyo MOD based on Cyanogen 6, it's perfect, batter lasts longer, apps load faster, app2sd, better UI than stock SE x10MP, better compatability for some apps.

The reason I am asking I want to see apps I might be missing out on, suggestions, what you personally use.

I am an ICT student i love the usual teenage stuff music, games, general ict interest, no dating or social crap I use FB and twitter thats good enough for me plus i'm sure the woman wouldn't approve haha.

Currently i use mostly obviously:

XDA - goes without saying,

Facebook - Who doesn't?

Twitter - Read up.

Tunein radio - Great radio app has all my radio stations (Northern Ireland and great International ones specifially USA radio stations).

Camera360 - Personally my favourite camera Application.

Go Launcher EX - Most unique, various features etc.

Playerpro - My favourite Music streaming application.

Sickipedia - Best and most crude jokes on the web.

Appbrain - for browsing purposes, sometimes works better than browsing android market as there is advanced search options.

Remotedroid - Works as wifi mouse/keyboard (great as x10 mp has hardware keyboard).

Various emulators - for retro gaming purposes.

Various google apps- gmail, androidify, google goggles, voice search.

Wikipedia - Official android wikipedia app.

Zedge - good for ringtones and wallpapers

Playstation app - for obvious reasons yet features are disabled for rage reasons i wish not to discuss which you all know about haha.

Other apps include the stock ones included in the custom rom i use, which are all good but i uninstalled the bloatware i did not use :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
I run CM6 2.0 by Slade, and these are the apps I use:

1) GO Launcher EX - Best Launcher

2) GO SMS Pro - Best SMS App

3) Music Beta - better than stock app

4) mVideoPlayer - nice video player app

5) Catch Notes - Notes APP

6) Astrid - TO DO List

7) ConnectBot - SSH Client

8) TransDroid - Torent Remote Client

9) Chrome2Phone - no description needed

10) Cloud Print - Google Cloud Print

11) Contapps - Best Contacts app ever!

12) AdFree - Bye Ads

13) Explorer - Like root explorer, without the root.

14) Root Explorer - Used to modify system files

15) Dropbox - ftw

16) Hanping Chinese Dictionary Pro - Chinese Dictionary

17) Fora Dictionary - Its a dictionary.

18) Last.fm - Just what it says on the can.

19)Hybrid Stopwatch - Well, Slade's ROM did not come with a stopwatch.

20) QuickSSHd - Like ADB Wireless, but does not require root.

21) Pocket - Secure Data Storage

22) RealCalc - Scientific Calculator

23) Tumblr - Exactly what it says

24) TubeMate - Youtube Downloader

25) Skyfire - Watch embeded videos

26) Skype - Free voice calls over wifi ftw

27) Trillian - Better than ebuddy

28) XDA - Obviously

29) Wiki Encylopedia - Wikipedia

30) Better Terminal Emulator Pro - The free terminal emulator Force Closes for me, this works well.

31)Facebook - No description needed

32)Twitter - Same ^^

33) Bluetooth File Transfer

etc) Apps that came with the ROM, minus crap.

So I'm still waiting for the 3.1 update sadly. And I'm curious if anyone attempted to hook up their xoom to any dslr or camera of any sort. This would certainly bring my dslr to a new level.

Yes I have. I've not a dslr but a digital camera capable of using the host function. What do you need to know?

i hooked mine up, works great. you dont need astro. it asks to import in gallery. If you want to move your photos around to edit on photoshop mobile, youll need it since galley puts the imports into a "imported" folder in the /sdcard root. photoshop mobile does not look there, it goes to DCIM.

and photshop mobile.. is it any good? (partial thread hijack.. :) )
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PengLord:
Also, be aware, it doesn't prompt for overwrites. I was testing it at work doing product photography. I imported the first batch of photos, picked the keepers and started the next batch, another person had disabled the sequential numbering on the camera so deleting the first batch from the SD card reset the counter. Upon importing the second batch, I lost all of my first batch.

Beyond that, it works quite well.

My rooted xoom on 3.1 does not even 'see' my canon 60D (and vice versa) when connected with my OTG cable

I know my OTG cable is fine because it works with all my flash drives, external HDDs, and card reader

Normally when I plug in the 60D to the computer, the camera turns itself into USB mode (cannot shoot photos), but when plugged to my xoom, it appears as if nothing is plugged in (still shoots photos properly)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetjockgordo:
Works great with pro SLR's!!!

Love it! I plugged my Nikon D3S, D3X and D700 pro SLR cameras into it and my pictures showed up in the gallery!!! This is a HUGE benefit since now I can leave my tablet PC at home and use the Xoom to quick email some proofs.

Now if only the Micro SD slot would work without rooting!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thalinor:
Using Tiamat and Sony DSLR's hook up no problem as long as you use the special cable. I read that 3.1 will allow usb host too but I do not know how much more or less will be supported with stock vs the Tiamat kernel. Will you still need the special usb cable with 3.1 so that usbhost will work, or will any usb cable work? I know I tried with the Tiamat one and it did not work, which is why I ordered the special cable.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfreddy:
I've a Canon T2i and I can only import pictures as long they are jpgs. Does anybody imported RAW pictures (.CR2) into the xoom? I can't find the directory where my camera is mounted so I can move my pictures manually, it would be awesome if I can see my raw images but at least I want to use my xoom as a storage.

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleeplessninja:
Your camera most likely is in a USB Host mode and not PTP mode. I had the same problem with my camera. Its a simple fix just go to your camera USB options and set it to PTP. Also my camera needed power, it didn't when plugged into my MAC.

I have a video that shows this basically works. This highlights all the 3.1 features so I apologize for it not having just a video on that. But to see the OTG Camera Picture Import go to 6:20 in the video.

Having a similar issues with a rooted xoom running 3.1 and tiamat 1.4.2. as soon as i plug my t2i in it freezes the camera till it is unplugged. while plugged in nothing shows up in gallery to import. tried plugging in a samsung point and shoot also and no go. Trying to look into it further.

update:got bored and went back to 3.0.1 & relocked and got the ota update and my t2i works fine. now to reflash tiamat and see if it still works or if it is indeed the source of the problem.

do you happen to know how to use adb logcat? looking to see what your xoom is doing to access your t2i that mine isn't.edit: never mind i got it. and for your question: raw pictures are stored in a slightly different format for each camera and you would need a program that was compatible with the t2i's format in order to view them. The gallery simply doesn't have that functionality so you won't be able to import them. also, the t2i isn't mounted as a drive when plugged in so you won't be able to access the files directly.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Alexanderbooth:
Probably because if people were able to try them first no one would buy them, they offer no refund either proper sucks, IMO they all look and feel like the same game to just differences scenarios. Just goes to show that its not all about graphics. Gameplay is what out need.
