Has anyone figured out how o change the sprint branding on the nexus yet? if so can you point me to the right files. I followed a (HOW-TO) from the epic but it wasn't there. So, i assume its is diffrent. anyones help is greatly needed. Thank you

Rant: The XDA search feature sucks!!!!! Searched for branding and i got some threads where the word wasnt even in the thread or the title.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiderep:
Have you tried the eri.xml file found in framework-res/res/xml yet? I decompiled framework-res and the word 'sprint' is in there 3 times under roaming indicator stuff. Not sure if it will change anything but its something I remembered from past research.

edit: I also found 'sprint' in the system/etc/apns-conf.xml but I have no idea what will happen if you change it. I suppose its worth a try if your adventurous...

alright...

I got it. framework-res.apk/res/xml/eri.xml

edit line 7 where it says sprint. this will change the lock screen and the pulldown notification branding.

again thank you for your help. thought i would let you know it worked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiderep:
Glad it worked. That was one that never worked on the moment or the epic but I had a feeling it might because the nexus is different enough.

Is it just me or is the dock's chassis composed of metal? It seems a lot sturdier than the tablet itself. Also feels a lot nicer on the hands. Makes you wonder why they didn't stick with it for the entire thing. The creakiness is starting to bother me more and more.

You mean other than the fact that it would be a 15 pound tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Daedalus:
No it wouldn't.

I've had a 17" Alienware with 3 mil. thick aluminium chassis, and it was nine pounds. At the most we're talking an extra 200-250 grams.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpavich:
...uh...I was exaggerating... ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Daedalus:
Yeah, well my point was that the extra weight wouldn't be an issue - there's heavier tablets out already - it's a cost thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trancemode:
they are trying to make it light as possible!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
...and in the process they produced something that creaks on both sides making it seem quite cheap (mentioned in about every review). Good job Asus!

BTW, the iPad is metal, so is the Iconia; weight shouldn't be an issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makaveliq3:
I would like to point out that the bottom part of the docking station is in fact the same plastic on the back of the tablet. If they wanted the tablet to match when closed then they would have had to make the bottom of the docking station metal as well and this would in fact increase the weight of the netbook style of the tablet by a significant amount.

Just thought I'd point this out.:D

Look here:

and download the appropriate modules for your new kernel (the old modules don't load because they don't match with the kernel version). The correct ones are those at the bottom, with 991.

Decompress, copy to /system/lib/modules. Use insmod /system/lib/modules/bcm..... and insmod /system/lib/modules/scsi..... (not sure if necessary). Reboot.

BTW - Can anyone tell me where the option to calibrate the g-sensor is after the update? I cannot find it in settings, and the change log claims it's new.

Unfortunately the screen on issue persists after the update.
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
Did you use the commands in the first post by any chance?

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/system.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/flexrom.img

If yes, you've just overwritten the system.img and flexrom.img on the root of your sdcard. Those commands were for making the images from the actual partitions.

You will need to copy back system.img and flexrom.img to /sdcard. Afterwards do:

dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

dd if=/sdcard/flexrom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

Might be a good idea to reboot in between (at least I had to, but I was using the terminal on the A500 to flash the images).

After you're done you will notice you don't have WiFi anymore (it will say Error). See post above about how to get it back.
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
Odd thing, I still have root after the update (update shows in About correctly). Am wondering if I have missed anything. I had lots of frozen apps, but theoretically they shouldn't have been in the way. I cannot find the G-Sensor Calibration tool either (any idea where it is?)
[Acer Iconia A500] kudakeru:
Aha, thanks! I tried with the kernel version you suggested, but insmod threw an exec failure. I looked at the kernel version again in device info, and it was 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b, so I grabbed that archive (the middle of the three in the post you linked) and everything is working great now. I haven't had any luck finding the g-sensor calibration yet, though.

[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
where and how do i run these script? Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
root + adb
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
EDIT: Well, it doesn't seem to work using the official update (over the previous version). However the update installed fine over the current version.

Well it's best to do it from the PC through adb, but you can also do them on your rooted tab, using a terminal emulator.

Please take my WARNING though: If you are not familiar with these things don't do it, you might mess it up badly.

One word of advice: There is a reference in another thread about how to unpack the update from Acer and use the update.zip inside to update. Just realized that overwriting the system partition leaves out things from the update.

Is it correct if I do: adb shell su "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3" ? using adb?
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
I got stuck straight after this step. Can't even send type anything in. Had to reboot and after that stucked at ACER logo :(
[Acer Iconia A500] heyoh:
I had the same problem where the entire system was locking up and I couldn't tell when it was done. I found it more reliable to do it via adb and you can see when adb is done.

So I'd flash system via adb and wait for it to finish, then power down the tablet (as reboot will not longer work) and then flash flexrom via adb and reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
yeah...i am doing it via computer. However when system.img finished, i sent adb reboot and my tab stucked at acer screen. I can't get into the system again :(

Flash the chinese update.zip and start over. I was getting stuck at ACER screen as well and then is how I fixed it.

I had my Nexus One since last march, and apart from the 2second bug, I had no problems with it at all. I've never rooted it as it is a company phone.

Yesterday, when idle, it rebooted into the bootloader and wasn't responding to anything. I tried to take out the battery at least two dozen times without success until it finally rebooted properly.

The battery wasn't drained (it was at 76% when I managed to reboot) - anyone had similar experience? This is a bit worrying, I don't want to replace my Nexus One for at least two years (or until I fall in love with a phone like I did with this one, and the Nokia N95 before that) I've only had 4 phones since 1999.

[Nook Color General] mjf0000000:
In case there are those not aware: the 'PlayOn' app (free in the market) allows you to use Hulu easily, even you user queue, with totally no hacking of your NC. It's an app that's already been discussed in the NYT tech section, PC Magazine, etc.

What you do is open the other part of the playon app on your internet-connected pc (app downloadable from playon.tv website). When you choose what to watch using your NC, your computer app pulls what you want off the internet & transcodes it into what your device can see, then sends it back over the internet again to your device. Sounds laggy, but it's not. There's a status bar that shows a few seconds of buffering, and you're off!

I've been using playon for at least 6 months and love it.

Content: hulu, also access to non-hulu archives of just every tv show/movie you can imagine. I get LIVE DIRECTV channels (!) using the "tvpc script" option, and there's even an option called "tv links" that links to a pirate archive of first run movies.

There is a free trial, then it's cheaper than netflix or huluplus -- $4.99/mo or $39.99 year. It's one of my fav apps.

Have you tried it yet. What did you think?
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
I tried it out. It would not work on my main computer where all my video files were because it has two network ports. PlayOn recommends disabling the second port. But it still didn't work and PlayOn support couldn't resolve the issue.

I tried it on another computer and the Netflix and YouTube worked okay.

For the price I wasn't very impressed and it was mostly useless to me if it couldn't work on my main computer anyway.

I might consider it if they got rid of that one time fee for the first year ($40 first year, $20 each year after). $20/yr would be reasonable, but I don't want to pay $40 for that first year.
[Nook Color General] huskermania:
I don't like the fact I have to pay for it, which is why I made the Netflix and Hulu how to videos the way I did. With PlayOn I essentially have to pay money to watch things I already pay for.
[Nook Color General] ace7196:
Yeah, I used playon (and starting using their service back in the beta days). Now they charge a monthly fee and all this other crap, and are requiring I pay more than I already did (was a one pay lifetime fee when I paid).
[Nook Color General] Drachen808:
I honestly wouldn't have a problem with paying for Playon if they used THEIR servers to encode. I don't want to have to leave my computer on all the time. If there was a way for it to work, without me having to leave my computer on, then I would gladly pay $40 a year for it. As it is I have Netflix working so that is nice. I may get Hulu working too (which would be nicer).

As a side note since husker has been in this thread: I used root explorer to move the app to system/app then to install it, but every time I try to open hulu it tells me I need flash version 10.0.32 or later. Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] mjf0000000:
Huskermania: your videos are great, I've used them for other workarounds. I already had hulu, etc with playon, & just wanted to make people aware. (Playon is on my roku, where I first heard of it.) Best wishes
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
The paying for it issue turns me off it, I already have Netflix and pay for it, don't need this for it.
[Nook Color General] BrianDigital:
well if your going to have use another computer to serve up the hulu, you could just get splashtop and remote into the computer instead. works pretty good to when i had my nook

five dollars in the market well spent
[Nook Color General] reasonthis:
bump/........
[Nook Color General] IFLATLINEI:
Why?

Anyways, The release of a Netflix app made the Playon app worthless. Before you were getting a decent value with access to both Netflix and Hulu. Now its just Hulu. Just not worth the price.
