[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidXCalibur:
what about netflix for virusrom? ......i'd post it there, but I'm not allowed to post in development pages being a new user and all...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spuniun:
The Netflix app will not work with any ROMs based off the official Thunderbolt RUUs as of now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staceyxxrenee:
I was so mad when my boyfriend's Incredible would stream Netflix, and my newer Thunderbolt WON'T. He doesn't even use his phone. He fixed it so he can use wireless tethering..and uses his ipod touch! That's what made me so pissed off about it. I actually want to be able to watch Netflix on mine! Maybe one day soon =(
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seabhac:
yeah This fairly well annoys me as well.. I purposefully bought the highest end phone I could find with the latest technology and it can't run the netflix app while the older models can,.. sounds kinda backasswards to me... really bugs me
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitchblack86:
Would love to have this working. Til then I guess I'll just have to use it on my DX ;)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltredbeard:
If you are rooted you can trick the app into thinking you are using one of the phones that are listed. I think i read about the trick on android central if i find the link i will post it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltredbeard:
Ok so the post i read about was actually for the nook, but maybe it will work on the thunderbolt.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
Don't think so, so far its only working if your running CM7 I believe.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattiemcdoogles:
Has anyone on here used CM7? I loaded it one day and nothing really worked on it. I couldn't get on the internet or anything... sounds like to a waste to run CM7 just to use netflix
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Netflix does work on cm7 and will be supported on the thunderbolt soon. The reason why it wasn't initially is because the phone is new and Netflix didn't have time to test it on our devices. Just give it some time and you all will be rewarded.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattiemcdoogles:
My understanding is that they are waiting til after the Revolution comes out to activate it for LTE phones. Its one of the selling points of the Revolution so it will probably be exclusive to that for a month or so. Just speculating though.

I use cm7 as my daily driver, everything works just fine for me. And Netflix has cured me of my constant xda browsing. Love me some Netflix, looks pretty good on 3g and only buffers at start of playback or when skipping forward/backwards. Not the best pic but whatever.
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
I have an iPad and a nexus s... The stylus works with both and wanted to share with you guys. I do recommend this stylus for drawing and note taking. I'm sure this will work with honeycomb tablets.

This stylus is called the E. Stylo stylus for capacitive screens.

e.stylo features:

- lightweight

- both tips work at different angles

- no extra pressure is needed for it to work

- works with gloves on

- smoothly glides over the screen

The final price of e.stylo will be $15.95 plus $4.99 US shipping and $7.99 for international shipping.

Purchased from http://www.Plai.tv/ if any artist/note takers are interested.

I also made a video of it....(videos in my signature) Check it out if u want to see how it responds on the nexus and iPad.

You can scroll the pictures to the right... sorry about the huge pics.
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
LOL :D nice

it looks like a small chopstick or a very thick toothpick :p

which BTW works the same way, in fact any soft edge pointy stick will do just the same :)

personally i prefer to use my finger nails to write, it's 100% natural in writing and you carry it with you all the time ;)
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
It's very nice.... Just like a chopstick (edgy), as long as a pencil, and lightweight but not too light.... those pics suck. :-)

I cant wait for the samsung tab, this would be a great stylus for it.

Once Sammy is out, I'm throwing the iPad in the trash. (for sale)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Monkeydias:
I've loaded and installed this rom and am on version 5.1.6 currently. I see that there is an update to 5.1.7 and that due to the new file format you have to format your card with the new file system. If I do this will I have to redo all of my current settings? I know I can back up my contacts, pictures etc and load those, but i'd rather not have to re-install all my apps and load all my passwords and emails again. Also, I'm currently very happy with how 5.1.6 is running. Is it worth it to go through all of this for this current update?:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Android Revolution HD / 4G 5.1.7 [18.05.2011]

- System partition formatted as EXT4 - Data partition formatted as EXT4 (optionally) - Cache partition formatted as EXT4 - Speed tweak for Sense app drawer and 3rd party launchers - Overall system performance improvement - HTC Feedback removed - Google Talk 1.3 updated to new version - Small changes for better compatibility with new filesystem - Fixes in one of the init.d script - Other minor changes

Please read this before flashing new ROM!

1. No need to full wipe if you have 5.1.x already!

2. For best performance it's recommended to format data partition as EXT4 as well. Special script for formatting data partition before flashing ROM is in the download section.

3. Do not use any kind of wiping tools 1.3, 1.4 or any else. ROM will do all for you.

4. Please re-download ALL mods from the second post + no-Sense patch.

5. Your SDcard will remain untouched FAT32 and it's recommended to leave it like that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Right from the OP
[HTC Inspire 4G] Monkeydias:
I see that. But it also says:

So again, i'm sorry that I'm not as technologically advanced as others on here, but will I have to set up my phone again if I do this method? It sounds like I will, which I would rather not do.

Also, is it worth it to upgrade over 5.1.6?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Yes if you wipe data all your apps will be gone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] codyperez86:
Well if your looking for an opinion here mine. Its very very smooth like buttah and there's lots of addons you can add to make it to your likeings. Imagine you starting off with optimize stock rooted and added the things you want to it. Insted of downloading a certain rom which only give you so many choices. :) my opinion.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equilibriumtr:
Hello people,

I've been using gingerbread for two days and scared by the battery problem, I decided to fall back to froyo. Here's what I did:

1)JSD flash (with PIT/re-partition)

2)Speedmod kernel flash

3)Turned everything I could to ext4 from recovery

After this, I recognized that some apps in the market are missing, such as Fancy Widget, Launcher Pro, Titanium Backup, Watchdog etc. These were some of the applications installed on my phone before. However, some other items installed on my former system were there, such as Battery Status Bar, Digital Rain, Andoku, etc. I'm not talking about "My Apps", I'm talking about searching and not finding. Then;

4)Flashed JPO (with re-partition/PIT)

5)Flashed fugu root

6)Flashed original kernel back

The market situation was the same;

7)"Uninstalled the Updates" and "Cleared the Cache" of the Market from Settings/Application Manager.

Still nothing;

8)Cleared cache and did factory reset/clear user data

9)Applied "fix.apk" from jrummy

Nothing...;

10)JPH flash

11)Fugu root/flashed JPH kernel back

12)Market enabler

Frustratingly, none of this worked. I would very much appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

4)Converted /system /data /datadata /cache to ext4, did factory reset

And still nothing. Anyone has the slightest idea on how to fix this?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Purple Drama Llama:
So, I'm gonna replace my sister's Mytouch 3g (not 1.2) housing, but when I got the housing in the mail today, it came without the female screw holes even though I asked the seller several times if they did and never got a reply. So, basically, how can I either use the housing without the female screw holes in the front fascia or take the old ones out of the old housing? Also, any tips on replacing that are essential? Thanks!

Oh, also, do Blackberry 9000 trackballs work with the mytouch?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopediculous:
Can someone tell me where all the hype is about gingerbread besides having a tbolt n showing people that you have sw version 2.3? I just don't get it. Yeah sure it looks cool, but as we all know other Roms like BAMF (Sense or not) is just way sicker/snappier and more reliable. Sure all these GB Roms are in their early stages, but like I said, their more basic and the only true benefit I've been reading that people seem to be really concerned about is Netflix working. Obviously everyone has an opinion (like I'm expressing mine) just curious why GB has soooo much hype. Personally, with running BAMF 1.2 with Adryns 4.4.7 amongst other performance tweeks (I/O scheduler sertings, CPU settings without SetCpu etc...) My tbolt couldn't be more sick. So freaking snappy, great battery life, look n feel is so nasty that I just don't get the GB Hype... If netflix gets on this bad boy, I'd be more than set. Like I said. All personal opinion, but some good pointers/insight might help me understand. Until then, I'm more than content with my ridiculous fast more than stable Tbolt. Even if it doesn't "say 2.3.*..." :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dcox28:
I admire your will power, for me I guess it was just wanting to try the newest thing and Sense 2.1. However i flashed the gingeritis III rom and it soft bricked my phone, would go to boot screen and at the end it would say Enjoy your HTC Thunderbolt and never get past that. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the ROM because according to the thread several people have this working just fine on their phone. I did follow the instructions to the letter but it didn't work, luckily I was able to restore my latest backup back to Das Bamf 1.6.3 remix.......WHEW!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincentp83:
I had a few Gingerbread ROMs on my OG Droid and I hated them. The ROMs were well developed and mature by the time I replaced the phone, but 2.3 in general was just super buggy and annoying. Stability, speed and battery life were a mess compared to the 2.2 ROMs on that phone. I don't know how much different it is on the T-Bolt as I haven't rooted mine yet, but from my experience, Gingerbread is stale right now. Too many problems to be worth the relatively minor upgrades.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbosrrgood:
You can't judge GB based on the roms made from this leak. The people using it now are either trying to help devs, curious, or just interested in the newest thing. Once GB got figured out for my D1 it drastically improved performance and battery life, as well as offered new features.

This leak is an alpha type of product, and there will be releases that are much more finely tuned and smooth. GB has many "unseen" improvements like JIT, as well as cosmetic and functional changes. Once some good stable releases of GB come out, it will be much more appealing. I do agree about the current Froyo roms being VERY good though. The BAMF roms and lean kernel have this thing working at near perfection...so I will be waiting for the "clean" GB roms to come out for my next daily driver.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Quinny899:
Rooting

You will need:

A source of Better Terminal Emulator.apk (3.38 works) (From now on called BTE)

A working android dual-boot

How to:

Somehow get BTE onto your netbook

Install it using the provided file manager. (DON'T WORRY THAT PACKAGE INSTALLER CRASHES. THAT IS NORMAL. JUST CLICK FORCE CLOSE AND PICK BTE FROM THE LAUCHER.)

There's no need to install the plugin, just click OK and open and close BTE until it opens a green text on white background.

Exit BTE for now and download busybox

Re-open bte and type cd /sdcard/downloads then cat busybox > /system/xbin/busybox

Get Root Explorer from somewhere and install it with file manager

Open it. Test whether busybox works by clicking the mount r/w button. If it changes, your netbook is rooted!

Installing Apps that give "application not installed" in the package installer

Get the app you want and find it in root explorer

Long click the APK and click copy

Right click > more > home

Click mount r/w at the top (MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED, SEE ABOVE)

Go to /data/app and click paste

Find your apk and long click and click rename. Name it com.publisher.appname

Long click on the apk and click permissions

Tick the 1st two boxes on the first row, the 1st one in the second row and the 1st. one on the third row.

Go to your launcher (I use GO Launcher EX) and see if it's installed. The app may still force close. If it has not installed, wait a while and see if it appears or try copying it to /system/app and back again

Installing Market & GApps Progress

Installing Market & GApps so far progress:

Installing GApps from CyanogenMod 5 (Android 2.1) & Toshiba Tablet's Market

WORKING!!!!!!! Download! (How to is in the .zip). Note: You cannot search or browse categories, so I will include the Appbrain app for those purposes.

Help

Hi thanks for the guide I've come across a problem though. I've installed BTE and got to the stage

Re-open bte and type cd /sdcard/downloads then cat busybox > /system/xbin/busybo

But when I type in the second line it says that it cannot create the directory because it is read only.

Any thoughts on why it is doing this?

Thanks :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Quinny899:

D257

Quinny899, thank you for writing this up. I just bought a Acer Aspire One D257 which dual boots into Android 2.3.1. I tried to follow your instructions but I ran into the same Read-only file system error as nunbean. I tried his solution but i don't seem to have adb, su permission, or applications>developer>usb debugging available to me.

Any suggestions? Have you had any luck hooking your D255 to another computer and running adb?

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Quinny899:
With me su is provided. Skip that step and try copying it to/ system/ xbin using root explorer
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] szimman:
Sadly, that doesn't work either. Acer/Insyde must have locked it down a bit in between versions. System/xbin is rwxr-xr-x
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Quinny899:
Try putting with on /sdcard and running:

cd /sdcard

su

In bte
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] szimman:
cd /sdcard

Permission denied

When I "ls -la" it says that sdcard -> /mnt/sdcard

sdcard is lrwxrwxrwx and mnt is d---------

When booted in Windows the Android partition shows up as D: but only gives me access to /qdisk (which is drwxrwxrwx). I have a SD Card in the netbooks SD Card slot and a USB thumbdrive plugged in. Both are accessible via the File Manager that shipped with the OS and apps such as Gallery, but I haven't been able to find them through BTE.

Thank you so much for helping out with this process. I'm still trying to figure out what Acer/Insyde changed between our two computer models.

You can move to /x-root/app or /sdcard/app (make the folders and move the app apk into it first)

The main code is:

ln -s /data/app/com.whatever.app.apk /x-root/app/com.whatever.app.apk
