[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
A lot of (rooting) guides contain something to the effect of "install busybox from Market" - but which one?

BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson): https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox

BusyBox Installer by JRummy16: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer

What differences are there, if any? Is there a preferred version?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zero383:
Use the one by Stericson. The other one includes like 13 versions of Busybox which is unecessary.

ps. You only need to install Busybox if your apps require it. Apps like Titanium Backup include their own optimized version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
Or if you're used to GNU/Linux commandline environments and like to have one on your phone, too. Yes, the commands are limited but god, it even has vi! :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebraapple:
Can someone tell me what exactly is busybox, and what it does?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzel:
It is a set of Unix-like command line utils targeted at minimal size installation
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
When I try to start my buddy's G tab in recovery mode (power button + volume up), it hangs on the "bird screen" / recovery key detected screen. The only way out is to manually shut it down with the power button.

The first time I started it in recovery I was attempting to install CWM, and the Android recovery screen came up. I couldn't get it to take any commands with home button or any other, so I shut it down manually and tried again. That's when it stopped giving me anything.

Mine didn't act that way ... did I do something wrong, or has VS changed something in their latest updates?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosser2:
NV-Flash your device back to a stock firmware and try again. Or you can just NV-Flash a new recovery file. That would also work.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
If the stock recovery had a menu that you were trying to select a command from then the device has a ROM based on the 1.2 bootloader and there are a few things you should know.

1) The home key doesn't activate the selected command. It toggles the display. The power key activates the commands.

2) The standard CWM for 1.1 based ROMs doesn't work with 1.2 based ROMs

3) If the device has one of Roebeet's custom 1.2 based ROMs then you can use the built in recovery pack to flash between Stock Recovery and ClockworkMod with a simple command line script. It may even work to recover from the situation you're in now.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
Many thanks. I've learned tonight that his tablet has the new 4349 build, and that does have the 1.2 bootloader. That's apparently why CWM didn't load.

Where I am now, though, is that I can't get ANY recovery menu to come up. It merely sticks on the main screen with the recovery key detected message, and I have to manually turn it off to reboot. Therefore, loading anything from a zip would be difficult - which I guess might have saved us since I didn't realize VS had slipped in a new bootloader.

But for future use, I might need to get access to that recovery menu ... how do I do that? :confused:

.

.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Sounds like stock recovery got flashed over by cwm for 1.1 bootloader. You could try looking over at another site that is something like $L@te d®∅¡d.com for the new cwm modified for 1.2 bootloader and load it through nvflash. Good luck.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] millia90:
Hello. I have an unlimited $15/mo data plan with ATT for a non-smartphone. I've read that sometimes ATT can detect smartphones. I was using an HD2 Telestra version and it went undetected, but I was wondering if I bought a Dell Streak from Rogers, would ATT still be able to detect the phone, even though it is not ATT branded, but it is the same phone.

Thank you.

There's a new beta .apk but I am to new to forums to post outside link.

If you go to Evernote forums, Evernote for mobile, Evernote for Android, you'll see the link.

Download The Latest

Be sure to download the latest Beta build. The original poster is linking to the Beta 1. As of this posting, Beta 2 is out.

Instead use this link to ensure you download the latest Beta

http://forum.evernote.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=51

PS: Thanks OP, the new beta is niiiiice! I was just wondering when they were going to finally get on the ball and optimize one for tablets.

On another note, those who live and die by Astro file manager....another disappointment they haven't done a tablet optimized version yet. I found something very slick called File Manager HD. Very slick tablet ready file browser.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] REHolt218:
i tried the Evernote Honeycomb beta and it works pretty well. I'm not sure I like the look though. The format of the notes in calander form or with the large letters in alphabetic sort is a bit distracting. Just putting the notes in order would be sufficient.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgevo:
I have one contact that i added after i input the number without the area code. It wouldn't send so i resent the message and entered area code. It sent fine so i saved my contact. i back out of the text and re-enter it later when i recieve a new message i reply hit send get error again. i look next to his name and the area code is gone. I back out look at my contacts and yes it does have the area code saved. So i delete the whole text tread and start a new one. as soon as i back out his area code disappears again. I have deleted the whole contact and input him fresh in. I have even done this after deleteing the messaging data in app managment.

any help? this is the most frustrating thing to ever happen to me with android.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Is the same contact stored on the google account, if you edit the phone contact, the google has to be edited also. Same applies to reverse.

Sent from my perfect epic
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Edit the contact and add the area code.

Food for thought, save your contacts to your Google account rather than the phone itself. That way all your contacts are backed up without hassle.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgevo:
like i said i added the area code before.... i will try the other suggestion. an report back
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeNoM vZ:
remove it from the phone and google account, then add it again.

That's what I should've said. Lol

Sent from my perfect epic
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
What you need to do is remove the sms thread and start. New one fresh with the contat that now has the area code. The problem is that like you strted a sms thread with the contact not having the area code, the app caches that and uses that info until you "manually" refresh it by deleting the old thread and starting a new one.

Its happened to me before....

Sent from an Epic with 4G
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
I had a similar problem, I did the following.

1. Delete All Threads involving the contact.

2.Manually make sure you re-input the area code.

3. EDIT the contact, hit menu, and select the Make defaults option.

4. If you see more than one number for that contact, make the one you manually entered as the default. Save.

5. Go ALL the way back, close contacts and etc if its open.

6. Check it out, the problem should be eliminated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
stuntdouble has created a great list of apps, games and utilities but how about a thread for honeycomb compatible launchers ?

one of the things i love about android is the ability to use custom launchers .... however not many seem to work on honeycomb.

might be worth keeping this list separate though as launchers tend to evolve more.

starting the list then -

Launcher Pro - seems to work very well and seems to be nicely tweaked for HC.

VTL launcher - i believe this is being built specifically for HC and seems to be a nice start.

anyone found any others ?

list starts here ..

Adw Ex -> runs super fast :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
where is the latest adw ex version ? It doesnt appear in the market.

im hoping that the imminent SPB tablet edition is as good as the early screen shots make it look !

also waiting for a Regina launcher tablet version as ive a soft spot for it on my phone :-P
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
Search fow adw ex in market its there
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] krighton:
search for ADWLauncher EX
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
I'll add a link to this thread from mine. Hopefully you can find a few more for your list. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
either that or feel free to add launchers to your lists :P

i just figured that compatible launchers would just be a slow burn thread :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
I added a couple a while ago, but tbh I don't really care much for them personally. Not really all that many updated for honeycomb. I think the fact that the default launcher works just fine has put off most developers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
Def disagree with that post. 3.1 launcher is still laggy as hell. Adw ex is super smooth. Also adw ex is updated for honeycomb with hdpi icon hack and graphic acceleration.

Can someone post a pic of launcher pro?

If you browse this thread there are a few using lp and adw.

I am using lp at the moment and like the widgets, animations and customisation. Adw does much the same.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
cant do screenshots yet but ive added a link to a youtube video (not mine) that provides a demo - see first post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
to be honest i dont have a problem with the stock launcher .... its just that every so often i fancy a change :)

Just been trying ADW EX - running very fast :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Android-hotness:
I wish there was a way to get rid of the orange flame adw ex icon on the top left hand corner in ADWX launcher.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
Well you're entitled to your opinion ofc, but I don't get any lag with it on mine in 3.0.1. I'd say you've been installing badly coded apps that have made it laggy tbh if you had it bad in 3.0.1 as well. Don't know about 3.1 yet, will see tomorrow though. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] DroidxRage:
Seriously... do I need an entire row of every home page on my device taken up by something with the ADW logo, and "ADW Launcher EX" on it?

Is there a way to take that god awful advertisement off there? Worst idea ever, like I don't know what Launcher I'm using, srsly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
yep. agreed. its not ideal.

whatever was the dev thinking ???

apart from that im finding ADW works great on the transformer. Would quite like to see whether the Regina Launcher dev manages a port - and the SPB UI looks fantastic ! ive you havent seen it i suggest a view on youtube !!

not sure when its likely to be released though :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Anonnie:
Tried ADW, but every time I try to resize an object, it crashes. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
resizing is not something i do often but ive just tried it on a couple of widgets with no crashes ..... what widgets are causing you problems ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] The-Nazgul:
Resizing works fine for me. Try to reinstall it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] benmyers2941:
If I recall from something I read recently, he only recently got back to ADW EX after getting a paid job as an Android Dev. I have a feelin the honeycomb port was bit of an afterthought with the rest of the upgrades. I reported one issue to him and he did respond so I know he's still working on it. I agree that I'd like to see some more immediate developments for honeycomb in general but it will come in time. I actually pre-ordered my G1 and I can tell you from personal experiece that there was a long dry spell before the amazing apps started coming out. I have a feeling it will be the same with honeycomb, hopfully shorter through.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] skeeterpro:
Anyone tried Zeam on 3.1 yet? Liked it alot on 2.2 and 2.3. Don't see it in Market yet. Was curious.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Anonnie:
Crashes when resizing any widgets.. Wound up going to VTL which seems to work like a champ and fast as well.

It has a bug where it "Thinks" it forgets where you put things, but if you switch launchers, it will dupe once, then you remove the extras and its good to go.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jadflat:
Zeam would be great, I love it on my galaxy 2
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] entahla:
so far only 3 compatible launchers ? how about go launcher ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MP2005:
go launcher ex works great on the transformer and any rom,test it ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dvhh:
try GO Launcher EX

I just installed GO launcher EX on my transformer, it is not optimized for tablet, but you can customize the number of icons on the home screens, and you can also resize the widget. Which in my book makes it better than Launcher pro.

Pros :

- App Drawer Folder

- Resizable widget

- Free

Cons :

- Not optimized for tablet (the app drawer seems particularly oversized)

- ... (Honestly I don't see that much)

I was running with launcher pro, with a brief run of ADW (which top bar put me off ). I will play this week end with GO Launcher and decide if it will stay or not.

For those who want to give a try the GO team put apk of their betas on their homepage ( golauncher.goforandroid.com )

Installing an apk form another thread, zeam works great. Thanks for the pointer
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
Blimey this is an old thread to resurrect :o

ive managed to get Regina Launcher and SPB working but they dont handle landscape so pretty pointless :(

Sadly the new SPB tablet UI never surfaced ... that looked awesome :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] surfmly:
I use zeam on my HTC phone. Was hoping it would work on my new TF (stock rom). Are you saying there is a version of zeam that does work well and if so is it the one from the market or another? thanks.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Some_Person:
This belongs in Development, but I'm not allowed to post it there because I have fewer than 10 posts.

Anyway, I have compiled together a nice package for putting OpenVPN on the Nexus S. It includes all the files necessary to use OpenVPN, including the tun kernel module, the OpenVPN binary, a dependency of it (liblzo.so), and a nice GUI to configure it. This should work on any rom that uses the stock 2.3.4 kernel.

Instructions:

1. Install the attached package via clockwork recovery.

2. Go to the OpenVPN Settings, and under Advanced Settings, check the box that says "Load tun kernel module".

3. Under "TUN module settings", set it up so that it loads with "insmod", and the path to the tun module is "/system/modules/tun.ko".

That's it! I tried to make this as simple as I could.

Thanks to the following people:

*NielDK for the tun.ko kernel module

*cyanogen for the openvpn binary and liblzo.so file

*Friedrich Schaeuffelhut for the GUI
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zero383:
So this would let me connect to an OpenVPN server like a WRT54GL running Tomato?

Trying it right now.. Just found this after trying to install / set it up myself.... Will let you know.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ttcrew:
Hi SomePerson - I just installed your openvpn client and it works great!!

I've been meaning to get my openvpn server up and running and this was just the excuse I needed.

I installed, followed the instructions you posted above and dropped the keys and configuration in the appropriate folder and everything worked - first time CONNECTED.

Any plans to add a widget for the homescreen or "notification power widget" to make it easier to turn on/off?? That is my only critique for the moment - REALLY nice work - and Thanks!!

I'm running a Nexus S (i9020a) on the ZeRoXs Custom ROM (based on 2.3.4) on AT&T and connecting to an openvpn server hosted on a Linksys 610N running DD-WRT.

Oh - also needed is a notification bar icon to show when you are connected...I connected this afternoon and forgot about it all afternoon and wondered why my internet was so confused when I got home and on WiFi (and on my vpn network directly).

Thanks for the great app...works WAY better than the bundled VPN solutions in android...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sk282:
Thank you so much, I wasn't able to get openvpn working until now but this works perfectly.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] autoprime:
i have the nexus s 4g.. on 2.3.5.

is having 2.3.4 and stock kernel a requirement? im running stock 2.3.5 and the matr1x kernel. im a VPN n00b and this looks like just what i needed.. everyone had good results :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sinatosk:
Works for me too but the only problem... this version of the OpenVPN client keeps saying in the notification bar

"Username/Password required for configuration vpnname"

so I can't tell if it's connect or not...

I also noticed this version is 0.4.8test1 where as the one on the market is 0.4.7

did you modify this? because I also looked on the official site and only version I can see there is 0.4.7

thanks

Hi! This is my first message, sorry for my English :)

I have got a problem with this file.

I have Nexus S with ClockWork mod by Superatmel and ROM SuperOSR Gingerbread:

Android version is 2.3.5

I have flashed succesfully this OpenVPN .ZIP, the instalation was succesfully, the configuration is correct.

OpenVPN correctly connects to my OpenVPN server but I have not internet, DNS doesn't work.

Anyone have this problem??

THANKS!!

Solution:

Click on client.CONF, PREFERENCES, USE VPN DNS and on DNS Server put: 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS).

Enjoy!!

[Thunderbolt General] tea_dub84:
Why are so many roms coming with 5 row app drawers..I hate them..The scrolling on them is is jittery and the app icons are smaller..I wish more developers would include a flashable zip for the stock 4 row..The transparent stuff is wack also..just my two cents no one has to agree
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
Since I don't have to agree, I won't. But if you don't like it, I'm sure you could search this site for a mod to remove it.
[Thunderbolt General] tea_dub84:
Ummmm ok..thing is the developers have to make a mod...I've been rooted since the days of the G1 so I'm pretty knowledgeable..the mod would have to be on the same frameworks as the rom u have or you will encounter problems..can't just flash any mod for it..my original staement was as to why the 5 row drawers seem to come with every rom
[Thunderbolt General] squeakyl:
If you don't like it, replace it. Get another launcher, like launcher pro, that you can specify rows x cols for your app drawer
[Thunderbolt General] mb02:
Being a knowledgable Android person, you would know these mods are made in Rosie.apk, not the framework. And seeing as how every rom is based on stock, all you would need to do is pull Rosie.apk from stock unmodified rom and push it into your current rom, making sure permissions are right. But I'm sure you already knew all of this since you owned a G1...

[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
LOL! That's great; I didn't even notice, and I'm a stickler for that kind of thing! Nice catch.

OP: As to why "most roms" come with a 5 column app-drawer, I believe it's because most people want that. Not to minimalize your needs, but if the masses demand it, give them what they want!
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
I don't recall anyone contacting me, via twitter, or irc, save one person in regards to the 5 columns.

Guess what? The person who asked me got their own personal package to flash.

Guess what else? Now that my PC went tits up, you just gonna have to wait, or go through one the above channels. I don't have a lot of access anymore to my stuff.
[Thunderbolt General] tea_dub84:
Yes I know the rosie apk can be pulled...I've done it before on the Htc Evo using root explorer and setting the correct permissions..I'm not a dumbass..there are times when the rosie simply will not worked being pushed to the system..this is my post expressing that I don't like them..if I needed help doing it I would have asked..some people need to spend more time realizing this is a forum and not tryna feel the need to prove something...NEXT!!!
[Thunderbolt General] tea_dub84:
And by frameworks I meant that I have pushed a certain rosie apk's to a rom and the colors did not work correctly with the rom...stop trying to pick apart my post..comment, help, advise, or don't respond..
