[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
I originally posted this in the FRX thread, but it actually applies to GRX as well, in addition to every other build that is based on them. If you don't see root prompts when you run root programs, this applies to your build.

Right now XDAndroid is shipped pre-rooted, enabling any app (including off the Market) to access any of your data or connections without any limitation, and it would be completely invisible to the user.

There's an open-source app called Superuser that closes this gaping security hole by enabling root escalation prompts. Most ROMs for other devices that are rooted ship with this.

Unfortunately, just downloading Superuser off the Market doesn't work with our setup, relative to all the other ROMs out there we have a very peculiar way of setting up our systems using the rootfs.

It is possible to make this work by (either via ADB or mounting the files in Linux):

(1) remove the two bind mounts found in the rootfs init for su

(2) remove the outdated /system/xbin/su (in system.ext2)

(3) copy in a newer, compatible su that Highlandsun extracted from his G1 image in /bin/su (on the rootfs). Ensure that permissions are set with chmod to 6755

(4) create a symbolic link in /system/xbin/su (in system.ext2) to /bin/su (on the rootfs). This mirrors the setup of su with its location in /bin with a symlink from /system/xbin of native Android devices.

Now if you install Superuser off the Market, it will work.

Assuming stine is ok with this (I don't see why he wouldn't be) this should make the next builds, both GB and Froyo.

So. I have a problem. After I rooted the phone with Gingerbreak, the autorotate is not working any more. I don't think the problem is because of the root, but the damn thing is not working in games too....

Any ideas ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Shade_Ro:
Forget

Forget about this and sorry about the post. I have shut down the phone ( With the auto rotate screen option off ) , take off the battery, put it back in, turn on the phone and enable the Auto Rotate Screen option. Done. The accelerometer is back again :D
[Xoom General] nobylspoon:
Six weeks ago I ordered the Asus Transformer. Even though the retailer was happy to charge my card right away, I later found out that they never had it in stock and I keep being told it will take more time.

So, I am starting to look into the Xoom once again. I almost pulled the trigger on one right before the Transformer was released.

Did they ever fix the SD card slot? This was a major reason I didn't originally place my order.

Does anyone have any hands on experience with both of the devices? I came across a pretty sizable thread on the topic but it seemed to mainly just be speculation with the Transformer and not actual hands on comparison.
[Xoom General] Wdustin1:
The SD is an Android problem not xoom and no it has not been addressed yet

Sent from my captivate BLAZING on firefly 3.0
[Xoom General] burden010:
The SD slot is still not fixed by Moto/Google/whoever else is to blame. However there are custom kernels out there which enable it.

Here's the reason I wouldn't go for the Transformer though: OK, it has SD access stock but it does not have a USB connector. Sure the dock has USB but I don't want the dock, I will never use it. Apart from using the USB ports on the thing the dock would be completely useless to me.

Note I said useless to ME, if you'd like a netbook with HC on it fire ahead, who am I to say what anyone else might want.
[Xoom General] nobylspoon:
Yeah, the onboard USB port is a big plus in reconsidering a Xoom. Although, I'm not sure if it has been released yet, but one of the official Asus accessories is a USB adapter that plugs into the proprietary port. I have also read that a USB 3.0 male to female adapter will also do the trick.

However, proprietary ports suck and is one of the major turn-offs of the Transformer.
[Xoom General] cbotd:
Love the Xoom

I purchased a Xoom after having an Acer A500 for a month.

The Acer has full size USB A, micro USB and micro HDMI as well as SD support out of the box.

The Xoom accessory and dev support along with the Motorola name is why I switched. The A500 is a solid device and $150 less than the Xoom. A better option than the Asus if you're still wavering.
[Xoom General] madsquabbles:
the chance of getting a xoom with good qc i'd say is greater than the tf. check the tf forum for issues. note, not everyone has them and those that don't have a wonderful working tablet.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Xoom needs to be customized to reach its full potential

If you think that there is no sdcard support I guess you're not rooted with the latest HC update and overclocked Tiamat kernel. I have external sdcard and smooth, fast scrolling, browsing and gameplay. This Xoom wifi has hardly been out of my hands in the last 3 weeks. It has completely replaced my notebook when I'm working away from the office. The stock Xoom was fine when I bought it, but since I've customized it, it's fantastic. It's so well built and so powerful and easy to unlock and root..the wonderful development community (especially BigRushDog) will make sure that the Xoom experience will continue to be improved. I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of it for a good long time. :D
[Xoom General] jiwengang:
love xoom. more than ipad 2, not mentioning asus transformer, which really look and feel cheap. tried on at friend's house. feel much cheaper than xoom feels.
[Xoom General] deepducky:
Transformer screen is a lot brighter and displays colors a little better in my eyes. I had one for about a week but switched it out for a Xoom because of horrible light bleeding. After reading up on the forums I found out it is a very well known issue, so the QC on the Transformer doesn't seem to be so good. If you can live with a proprietary port, I'd personally recommend waiting for the Galaxy 10.1. If you want stock USB support, and an awesome modding community, go with the Xoom. I LOVE my Xoom way more than my ipad. There's something about the build quality that just feels right to me.

I have heard that the Acer screen is brighter though. If there was one thing I could change on my Xoom it would be the screen :(
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Don't forget the Xoom will always get updates first until it's outdated.
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
If you know what fastboot is, and you know that the Transformer doesn't have it (and doesn't even have kernel images in the "standard" Android format), then you have your answer.
[Xoom General] Wdustin1:
But the galaxy tab may lack a sd card slot and that is a must have for me

Sent from my captivate BLAZING on firefly 3.0
[Xoom General] alex2792:
I'd go with the Xoom due to the fact that it's a reference device so it will get updates quicker. Not to mention the fact that it's easily unlocked to boot.
[Xoom General] nobylspoon:
I just had them change my order from a 32GB Transformer to the Xoom. They even price matched Walmart's $569 price tag along with free shipping and no tax. Because I would have had to get the Transformer from another retailer, I would have spent close to that price anyways after tax and shipping so I am quite happy with my new order.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicopat:
Hi, my question is : is it possible to disable voice messages notifications ?

I am using a visual voice messages app and I have 2 notifications after each messages.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicopat:
So there is no solution ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaassema:
The usual voicemail messages (e.g.: "+3123456789 called but did not leave a message", or "You've got 2 new voicemailmessages") are being sent by your provider. Check there to disable them - usually by calling into your own voicemail, and then choosing some menu-option from there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicopat:
Thanks for the answer. You're right.

The problem is that SFR (FR) is sending 2 notifications, one from the usual tel number "123" and the other from the app : SFR repondeur + (visual voice messages), must be a bug from the app.
[Xoom Accessories] bilago:
Ok guy so I finally got my OTG cable:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Micro-USB-Host-...od=260766327039&ps=63&clkid=63440061151806986

There seems to be alot of questions regarding which peripherals work

List of everything I have tried so far:

Logitec LX3 Optical Mouse

: Works Perfectly with no set up

PSX to USB adapter

: Seems to only output mouse commands (Left joystick and Dpad works but nothing else)

Wireless USB Adapter

- Works perfectly with mouse and keyboard - no set up

USB Flash Drives

- Works perfectly , mounts in mnt/usbOTG

USB Card reader

(microSD and SD): Works Perfectly, mounts in mnt/usbOTG

Powered USB Hub

(7 Port)

Card Reader

: Did not mount

Flash drive

: Did not mount

Optical Mouse

: Works perfectly

When I start trying more things I will post on here and give you an update.
[Xoom Accessories] texasez:
Do you have to be rooted to get usb thumb drives to work? I am not rooted and a wireless mouse will work but I cannot get thumb drive to work.
[Xoom Accessories] epakrat75:
Yes, you have to be unlocked, rooted and flash a different kernel before this will work. The OP kind of forgot to mention that. :p

Eventually this won't be the case as I expect this functionality to be enabled shortly by the official SD card update WHEN it finally comes. Haven't rooted yet, trying to keep my unit as stock as possible for development purposes. Being able to do things the general public may not be able to do just makes things harder ATM. :cool:
[Xoom Accessories] Ifiuse:
Do you think that they Are going to send me the cable to Argentina?
[Xoom Accessories] slack04:
I think you're mistaking the OP for a discussion of SD cards in the Xoom. This thread is about OTG cables, which were enabled in the 3.1 update. Or do I have that wrong?

BTW- Just ordered one. Got one suggested in another post from meritline and *suprise* it doesn't work... Waiting again...
[Xoom Accessories] bilago:
Sorry guys, I keep forgetting that not everyone who reads these forums have rooted their Xooms. I am rooted running the latest installment of Tiamat Kernels.

Just an update my testing has stopped since the cable is a POS and broke the first day.
[Xoom Accessories] gqstatus0685:
I ordered the Motorola Cam Connection Kit from Amazon and it said it would get here in a month! I wish they would have told me that before I placed the order. I'll probably end up buying one and just selling that one to someone on this forum.

I don't know how much this would help but I found a thread on some .apks for mounting hard drives and other things. Check this out and hopefully it helps you guys mount some things.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjbelknap:
Recently upgraded to 1.2 using MN 4.5.18 and I've been reading how the supplicant is different. Does any one now of a working patch or process to get this working again?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colornookuser:
adhox fix

down load wpa_supplicant.adhocfix.

Backup current system/bin/wpa_supplicant

rename wpa_supplicant.adhockfix to wpa_supplicant

replace current file with new file.

Reboot.

You should see adhoc connections at this point. There is 1 bug though, once your unit goes to sleep, the wifi needs to be reset once woken up.

I found a program that you can download for free from the market that worked for me, that resets the connection automatically after wake-up. "blade wifi fix"
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjbelknap:
Thanks. Now, I saw those posts but they were saying that the wpa supplicant in 1.2 is not the same as it was for 1.1 and previous.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Basically, I get a notification of new mail on my phone before my web Gmail, which is normal. But when I read or delete an email from my phone, it doesn't sync properly with the normal Gmail client, because those emails are still unread.

I have a possible theory as to why this might be happening: From what I can remember, it seems like on FroyoMOD it was working fine, but any Gingerbread ROM I've been having this issue. Is it possible that because GB isn't really made for our phones, or the Gapps for GB are causing some sort of issue?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] veki2630:
Having same issues. Gmail is not the only one having sync issues. In mine cm7 rc12 gb rom, even other apps such as yahoo mail, what's app, Google +, huddle are not notifying me anything even when I hv the background sync option on! :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] veki2630:
Are you having notifications issues like mine?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
I think there might be something in build.prop that changes the sync. It is not always going to get everything right away as it only syncs every so often.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cosimoss:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] enisoc:
The screen is listed as PLS on Samsung's specs page:

http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/google/io.device.do?platformId=1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] CJNYC:
PLS and better than iPad 2

I have the limited edition Galaxy tab 10.1, the ipad 2 and the xoom side by side. The xoom's screen is nothing short of pathetic for the price point. The galaxy tab's is a bit better than the ipad 2. Resolution is higher and colors are a tad bit more saturated, with fairly equivalent viewing angles. The ipad has more aggressive auto brightness, so you do sometimes have to up the brightness on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] songmeesay:
This is good to know. My Asus Transformer is also less brighter than my iPad2 but less saturated in colors and more neutral. Personally I like color saturation.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] -Pagan-:
This. Though I haven't found any situations where I needed to adjust brightness.

ive had my HD2 for a year without a problem and now for some reason when i turn the screen on its not recognizing my finger so i can unlock it! i would have to turn the screen on and off several times to have it recognize my finger, could it be a bug in the rom or is my digitizer dying?

o used gapps-gb-20110307-signed, then after connecting to wifi the market appeared in my apps.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
My phone came with 8gb card in it. I purchased a few games and downloaded a bunch of free ones. I still have 4gb of space yet I can't download anything because the memory is full. I can't move anything else to the sd card because it's all grayed out. I have moved all the apps that would let me.

So I pulled the sd card out and none of my apps have icons anymore. I put the card back in and they didn't come back. Will I have to buy those games again? How do I get more games if the phone says no memory even though there is 4gb of space. The SD says un-mounted in the setting but when I click mount it says SD blank in the top left. When I look at the apps in the apps settings it shows things like Com.andoop.jailbreak and lest my uninstall but not install. They have little black icons instead of the game icons and it has a picture of the micro SD card on the icon.

I wanted to buy a bigger card but this is a nightmare.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Xperia Play General] crispyduckling:
ye this sometimes happen with apps to sd

usually with the games there is a folder named downloads on the sd card the game apks should be in there, you should be able to reinstall em and it will pick up the old data files on the sd card

note that the sd card wont mount untill you put the case back on the fone as the case has a notch that presses a button to tell the fone that it can be remounted
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Thanks

I have the case on but it is still saying blank.

I'll back everything up when I get home and format the card from the phone.
[Xperia Play General] crispyduckling:
ok what make sd card is it?

do not buy a cheap micro sd card off ebay called memorette

i have had to of the fake cards of 2 different supliers

supposed to be 32gb class 10

turned out to be class 5 4gb

they show 32gb when inserted but if you try and put more than 4gb on it looks like it has transfered but when u mount card back to fone it all but vanished

have u tried putting card into pc/laptop with a usb adaptor?

if you do format the card copy the gameloft folder and the download folder to your pc/laptop first, saves you having to redownload
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Thanks

it is the card that came with the phone. Upon closer inspection I seen a break in the SD Card. I will retun it to Rogers tomorrow. I'm going to go buy a new card. A 16 or 32 GB card.
[Xperia Play General] crispyduckling:
If you an avid gamer I suggest you plump for a 32gb class 10

I've got 8gb of music 12gb of roms

3gb of game loft games

Plus 2gb of play station pocket games

N apps videos n pictures

It all adds up

Why buy a small card n upgrade later might as will do it now saves all the messing about imo
[Xperia Play General] kenshindono:
lol reboot one or twice you should see everything coming back ...

The SD is not formated it's just that you removed it so android did a cleanup in the interface...

Reboot until you see everything back

and you can't check the content of your SD card or play your games when you are in mass storage mode... (the sd is being used by the computer)
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
It turned out that my SD card was broken. Of course my wireless provider would not replace it even though they installed it before I bought the phone.

I picked up a 16GB because that is all I could find. 32GB were expensive so I’m not sure I would have bought one if I had found one. You can close this topic you want.
