[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
I had the same errors when i had ubuntu installed/and was trying to do this along side.. what I had to do was factory reset (I did so to get rid of ubuntu, there's probably an easier way) then tried backtrack again with no problem

Hahahaha...I wish =)

Btw, please let me know if you have any special script/suggestion about this topic. I will update the original one so that everyone can get updated.

I'm trying to get OpenOffice running...sadly the ARM version is not that stable. Anyone has any resource on it?

Thanks very much for this guide!

I'm having a strange issue though, hopefully someone can help. When I press the "m" key, rather than type the letter "m", it opens up the mail icon in the tool bar. Every other letter works fine, and I can't seem to find a way to edit this keyboard shortcut.

Anyone else have this issue, or now how to correct this?
[Acer Iconia A500] Ztiffn:
thanks a lot - it will work for me without any error or something else :)

i use the latest update from acer (A500_1.141.01_EMEA_CUS7)
[Acer Iconia A500] Ztiffn:
hmm, is there any trick to log off an turn off the system ? when i exit everthing an try to start again i will only see the backtrack wallpaper...

also i got an error in term-emu when i type in "exit".
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
I added the OP for how to exit.
[Acer Iconia A500] p-ille:
Thanks for the guide, I have been waiting for something like this!

doble-tap (right click) the mail icon in the tool bar and choose to remove it from panel. It should remove the keyboard shortcut also.

I tested openoffice 3 and it works like a charm. It is not present in the original backtrack repository, so I had to add another source. I used the Debian repository. From the backtrack terminal I typed:

add-apt-repository deb *repository address* stable main contrib non-free
apt-get update
apt-get install openoffice.org

You can find the debian mirror for your country at

debian.org/mirror/list
[Acer Iconia A500] jcc76:
Thank you very much for this guide.

It works like a charm.

Just one question.

I suppose you use a bluetooth keyboard, because the virtual one doesn't seem to work with Backtrack. But is it possible to use a mouse ? Because my big fingers don't match the tiny icons and menu choices !!!

Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
Thank you for ur script. I haven't had time to play with it due to exams.Anyway, I added them to the original post so that everyone can find it easier.

Regarding to the keyboard...i tried with usb keyboard and it worked fine. I have a BT keyboard but haven't tried it yet. I don't think the mouse will work bcz it is restricted by the VNCViewer :(

[Acer Iconia A500] g@u55:
is it possible to use a different resolution? I tried to use 1280x768 (WXGA read on Wikipedia) but it didn't work.

Hi, Alberto
[Acer Iconia A500] gazout:
edit:

Now it works fine! thank you!

Sorry for my first post.

I just realize that I had confused the downloaded archive (.7 z, wich contain all stuff) and the compressed image (. gz), so I did not unpack image before running bootbt.

Unfortunately, the extraction of master archive did not work due to the soft used to extract .7z.

As i mentionned before I've checked the whole archive md5sum but did not check the extracted files.

bt5.img.gz was only 12.59 MB, extracted with androzip. (don't use it, at least for .7z!!)

I know the Datel Retro Wireless controller works, it's been verified, but i believe from what i see at Amazon and Best Buy, it's sold out or discontinued.

I'd like to get something similar for a trip i'm taking, so my question is will any wireless Wii classic controller work for the Xoom? Or should it?

e.g. Amazon.com: Thrustmaster T-Wireless Gamepad for Nintendo Wii: Video Games
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobylspoon:
I am still waiting on my Xoom to arrive but on my Evo I use the official classic controller with analog sticks with the wiimote app and it works great. The only downside is that it has to be plugged into the wii remote as it isn't a stand-alone controller. This is why I am looking forward using my Xbox controllers now.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Bland:
Isaac in Best Buy the other day and saw a wireless gamecube controller in the wii accessories section. Not sure if it would work, but worth checking into. I use the Datel controller, if you Google it you can still find it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patass:
wireless gamecube controller dont work because they arent bluetooth. they have an adaptor that plugs into a gamecube port. Try to find the datel retro wireless, it's the best options. You can get them on datel.com. I bought mine from another xda'er.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Bland:
That's the one. If you get it I would recommend going over to the "Xoom Accessories" forum and looking up the thread on the Datel controller. They discuss a must have mod for the controller to really work well.

Edit: Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13018984&postcount=28 I did the mod myself, it was easy to do and made a noticable difference.

[HTC Desire S] thunder9111:
I understand the whole s-off and root thing. My decision current lies on whether I should spend the $15 bucks, and go out of my way into the city to meet the person with the xtc clip.

my current desire on wanting to get s-off and rooted is that:

1) I can modify the phone to connect to adhoc wifi network. This is the only way I can connect to wifi at home, otherwise I have to connect my phone to my laptop and use internet via USB.

2) uninstall useless bloat programs.

--------------------------------------------

now, can anyone tell me what are so special about custom roms??

I am currently running launcherpro+ and I am happy with how everything goes. There is no way I'm going back to HTC Sense. So what do the Roms bring to the table, is what I need to know.

Do they make things a bit faster? save more battery? have more features/customizations?

if anyone could give me a bit more details about these custom roms, I would be very grateful. It will take me an hour to get into the city so that is why I want to know whether I need it or not. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] igoivo:
1) Backup everything (?) with root - but why do one need it?

2) Making screenshots on phone without PC - But there is an app which works fine with S-ON (it triggers screenshots by the phone shakeing).

3) the WARRANTY is for S-ON only - very essential do not loose it in HTC phones (for my previous HTC phone I used it three (!) times during one year)

4) stream movies from the market (works (?) in USA with S-ON only)
[HTC Desire S] muyu:
stream movies from the market (works (?) in USA with S-ON only) bad news
[HTC Desire S] Tik_Tak:
you can check what is added to the custom roms, and decide if you need it,

if no, the desire s is a great phone without a root :)

This is a known issue with the theme changer. You can download an app in the market, "Notification Restart", that will allow you to restart the notification bar and reset the power widget. This saves you a reboot.

I've been having an issue lately with applying themes (phiremod 6.2). I've tried a bunch, and they're all sexy... but anytime I apply a theme I find that the sizing for the softkeys in notification bar is off. It resizes the bar fine, but when I go to touch the "button" I have to hit really high on the area its in in order to get a response. If I push right over it, there's no action/response.

I've tried rebooting after applying, no luck. Screen calibration can't be off because everything else touch related works fine. Any ideas? Anythinig I can tweak in the theme to have it stretch/function properly?

for those of you who dont wanna reboot your device after applying a theme from theme chooser then get notification restart from the android market it restarts your status bar so the new changes will take effect without rebooting your device and for the icons to change just restart your launcher

I use Theme Chooser, select Lucid, apply and the notification bar icons are small and offset from the areas that would respond to touch.

I used notification restart and a manual reboot just to make sure it didn't just need a reset to work. No go.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fordthunder:
Hey guys , i took the plunge and bought a WIFI only Xoom a little under a week ago and so far i really like it . though i did question the purchase after seeing the lack of apps in the market that scale to the xoom's 10 inch screen .

I have been reading around the forum and trying to decide if i want to unlock and root my xoom .

I love flashing kernels and such to my HTC Desire but I was wanting some input as to whats really out there for the xoom and is it worth doing .

I think the xoom is rather speedy as it is stock , so is the tiamat kernel really worth doing ?

also , reading around the net i see that the Google Movies addon (when it comes to wifi only xooms) will not work with rooted devices .

this is a big negative to me and the family as we justified the purchase of the xoom on a lot of features including the movies in the android market .

so , please chime in if you dont mind and let me know what you think about the above .
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
At the moment the main kernel available is Tiamat's, or some other variations on more or less his work. These are great kernels, but are mainly useful for overclocking. If you do not intend to do a lot of intensive gaming and are happy with your current speed on the Xoom, then overclocking really isn't a big need for you.

Considering your situation, if I were you I would leave my Xoom as it is, unrooted for now. That way you can get the Google Movies when they arrive as you stated that was a very important feature for you. If after a while you decide you are not getting as much value out of that feature as you expected, or if Google changes its policy, there will always be time to root your device later. Also by that time there may be more kernel options or Ice Cream Sandwich hacks to flash.

You are not closing any doors by not rooting/flashing right out of the box. I just can't see any compelling reason for you to root at this point....and a couple good reasons why you shouldn't for now. The Xoom is a great device and has more then enough to hold your attention without flashing.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
I haven't rooted my Xoom, nor have I rented out any flix. The tiamat kernel (from my understanding) enables SD card and allows you to overclock.

I don't ever 'rent' any content, and I'm willing to wait for an update that will enable the SD card. You can watch your own movies just fine on the Xoom, and watch TV shows from the network television sites.

Android Market tablet apps are still too few, but that should change quickly this summer as many more Honeycomb tablets are released (of course, we thought that would have happened already with the release of the Acer and Asus tablets).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
That was my main thing the sdcard not working and is what keeps me on the fence about xoom or galaxy tab 10.1. So does rooting it get the sdcard working fully with little to no bugs? Cause that may help me decide

brought to you by the voices in my head
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Once I rooted and flashed the Tiamat kernel I have had no problems at all with the external SD card.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
As long as you are willing to take responsibility for your actions if your brick or otherwise roast your device I dont' care what you do with it. If I may rant for 5 seconds I'm becomming increasingly irritated with people who are coming in here... breaking their Xoom's and then crying for advice and the advice being given is "take it back to the store and swap it out". No, that's called theft.

I think rooting is probably 100x safer than overclocking though which is where most of these people seem to get in trouble.

Other than that, welcome to the Xoom and I hope you enjoy it. I really love mine and could probably go on for half an hour about what I use it for.

Here is a quick and dirty list of apps that I find myself using daily:

- Pulse

- Paradise Island (lol)

- PocketCloud (paid ver)

Entertainment I find myself dabbling with almost daily:

- Pinball HD

- Riptide GP (both paid, very fun)

- Splashtop (for remote WoW, lol... also paid)

Other stuff I use daily but isnt downloaded apps include the browser obviously, I also use Firefox to access intranet sites (like sbs2003/sbs2008). I use the heck out the mail client. I also switch back and forth between the facebook app and using the page in the browser.

There are probably more tablet oriented apps than you think by now, as I find that new ones are coming out every day and some of them are really good.

If there's anything particular you think you'd like to know about just ask :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
No it doesnt. The possibility of data corruption exists. ASUS and Acer have implimented Kernel hacks to enable SD support. My personal vote is to wait for Google to properly impliment SD support and be satisfied with the more than ample 32GB of on board storage.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
About the availability of apps with coinciding tablet release.... some developers just aren't in a position to go out and buy tablets I guess which is why I'm very happy to see Google give 5000 units away at their I/O even if someone of them went to dip**** bloggers.

Hi

is there a pre applied screen protector on the xperia play? Isit removable ?

Because i m lookin at used one right now in my hand and it has small scratch. But i almost see a screen protector too. Bu i coud be wrong
[Xperia Play General] gunstar3035:
Yes its there, ALL Xperia phones since x10 have it. It scratches very easily but will prevent the glass from cracking from a fall.

I ripped mine off as soon as I got in my car. Screen feels so smooth and so much nicer with it off, not all plastic and junky.

With my x10 I ripped it off the day I bought it, and it never ever got a scratch.

I bet the screen is perfect I say take a chance and buy it!
[Xperia Play General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
How did you remove it ? I have been trying since forever
[Xperia Play General] gunstar3035:
I just lifted a corner with a needle very very carefully to the point where I could grip in and start pulling straight down and away from the phone. It will be tough but just keep going and it should just peel right off.

Tattoo Artist, I have sharp objects everywhere lol
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Some Xperia Play's come with an 8gb sd card, some come with 16gb.

I believe the 8gb ones do not have the screen protector fitted, and the 16 gb ones do.

Mine came with 16 gb and a screen protector fitted. Maybe someone with an 8gb version could clarify that they didn't get one fitted?

Factory fitted screen protectors rock. No air bubbles, no dust, just a pure crisp clean fit.

I would advise leaving it on. You will never get it as good as they can.
[Xperia Play General] AriStar:
im in canada, with 8GB, seems like its on there. it sucks cause it scratches easy.
[Xperia Play General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i cant figure it out. its an 8gb xperia. which is fine and enough for me. but i cant tell if thats a screen protector or the screen looks like it has a screen protector. i am almost positive it has a screen protector but i couldnt take out with my nails. usually i am able to with any screen protector i apply . but this one i cant even move it.

so either that its super hard to get out. or there is no screen protector but the screen it self has some sort of a layer that looks like a screen protector
[Xperia Play General] gunstar3035:
A) Yes the 8gb devices have the film...its not a screen protector its a FILM or a "shatter proof sheet". Read anything about it being scratch resistant? NO

B) It does NOT rock it makes the device feel cheap, and it does NOT protect against scratches, it picks many more up.

C) Its nice you would leave it on, but for the rest of us that dont want our device cheapened by that plastic JUNK on our screens, we will remove it. Thanks.

Its a STANDARD that SE apply to ALL their phones from the Xperia x10 up. Every device I have seen from SE (here in Ontario, Canada) has had one...they are annoying and I wish SE would stop using them.
[Xperia Play General] gunstar3035:
^There is your answer...thats exactly what it is. Its hard to get started to remove it, and it looks like a screen protector but its not.
