[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blayz:
although i saw the 16 gig for $449 a few days ago, i ordered mine for $398 yesterday, dont know how long its staying at that price (or if they've changed it back already)

to the 16 vs 32 debate, i was also on the fence about it, thinking i should just get the 32 gig just incase, but then i realized a few things that made the 16 gig a fine choice in my book, part of this centers around the fact that i have an evo (soon to be evo 3d!!!) and can tether unlimited amounts of data to my transformer

between dropbox, amazon cloud storage, moozone(online music streaming), and the overall push towards cloud computing you can very easily setup music and files on different sites and make shortcut links on your desktop, you can use one site for music, one for videos, one for text documents and with the shortcuts its not much different from opening an app, just click on the one you want and pick the desired file

with the $100 difference you can put that towards the keyboard dock, which you can add another 32 gigs to(with the sd card slot not even including the usb slots available), giving you 80 gigs total, which yes is still less than the 96 you would have if you bought the 32 gig, but i doubt very many people need over 80 gigs of space on their tablet and thats without having to swap in and out multiple cards(or using usb drives/external hard drives)

and i used my evo for almost everything for a few months with only had 9 gigs of storage and i had some where in the range of 140 apps, a couple movies, tons of word documents, music, etc. and only recently got low on space, i'll admit most of the movies weren't full length 90+ min movies, but things like video game trailers, movie trailers, rooting guides etc. plenty of 4-12 minute videos and maybe 1-2 full length movies at a time (i'm not the type to watch the same movie over and over so no need to keep 20 movies i've watched on my device) and if needed on trips without internet access could easily be stored on a usb drive or micro that you use only for media to prevent having to switch cards often

last thing i considered is that more than likely next year there will be some quadcore tablet out with all the newest bells and whistles, and i'm the type that wants new tech so i dont expect this tablet to be my main for years, nothing wrong with people who want/need the 32 gig model just listing what factors made me comfortable with my 16 gig purchase incase it helps anyone else on the fence, i think most of the people who will need the 32 gig KNOW they need it, if you have questions you probably dont

Go 32GB

I learned before with other devices, don't cut corners. When i got my 1st gen iPhone 8GB was a pain. When they brought out the 3G i refused to get a new one till the 3GS 32GB was avail. I had that thing full with music and Video.

With my transformer I knew I was going to want the Max storage I could get. I have 32 on board, 32 in the MicroSD, and another 32 in the SDHC slot. The 32 SDHC will be my "floppy". I am still organizing what needs to go on. But once I'm done only thing i will be swapping out are movies.

Never rooted before. Want to. Thinking kernels one click is the best route.

Help me get through it please. What should I install download and on what order. Thank you so much
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
Any rooting method will involve you using ADB so to start you should download that.

Eclipse (Not 100% sure if this is needed for the use of ADB or anything but its always a nifty program to have)

AndroidSDK - This is needed to download ADB on your computer.

Then just follow Capts instructions in the script you can find here.

Check the first part of the instructions tho that read "If the above number ends in 605.6 or 605.9 then you can root". If your phone doesn't meet this requirement than I would suggest using JCase's method.
[Thunderbolt General] justindci:
Thanks....ok do I put those on my PHONE or on my PC?
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
Those are all programs for your computer. The only thing you will be putting on your phone during the root process are the 2 different RUU's you download. Well, there are some other files but you will be pushing those to the phone via ADB.

Check out this guide on using ADB, I am making an assumption that you are using Windows.
[Thunderbolt General] justindci:
Exploits.zip with contents extracted to your ADB dir

PG05IMG.zip

Downgrade RUU

This is where Im confused...and I apologize for my ineptitude on the subject in advance. I have the correct firmware(.6) I have downloaded ADB(its currently updating a bunch of things)
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
I can see where you may be confused, the download link that Capt had for all his files seems to be broken. It may be beneficial for you to use JCase's method found here instead. Based on the MD5 sums for the files of both methods they are different so I dont recommend using JCase's files for Capts' method.

It might seem a little more overwhelming at first but its easier than it looks and you will get a feel for the process more.
[Thunderbolt General] justindci:
I must be in over my head here.
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
It's not as difficult as it seems. Make sure you have sdk tools setup properly & your computer can see your phone (adb list devices), read the root instructions 2-3 times, then you'll be ready to take the plunge. Good luck & post any questions you have, there are lots of ppl around to help.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
That is all in the settings of the launcher you are using. I'm using launcher pro and have a different layout with the matted blues theme. Lock screen is widgetlocker. (Highly recommend) With battery status widget and minimal text widget.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I think you're talking about docks, widgetlocker themes, and whatnot. These aren't included in themes, people gather them from different places and put them together.

Depending on what home app you're using, you may be able to change the dock background. All home replacement apps (at least the major, reputable ones) allow for changing of dock icons. Head over to the Android Themes section and check out the stuff there. The "Post Your Homescreen" thread would be a good place to look and get ideas. I'm sure there's some noob guide to theming.

If you want your lockscreen to look like the screenshots you see, get Widgetlocker. It's around $2, but more than worth it. There's a thread of themes to change your sliders, check it out if you decide to buy the app. Also check out the FAQ thread for WidgetLocker to help you figure it out.

The three most popular home replacement apps are LauncherPro/LauncherPro Plus, ADW Launcher/ADW Ex, and Go Launcher Ex. My personal favorite is ADW Ex, a lot of people are die-hard LP+ users. I personally don't care for Go, it felt kind of clunky and tacky to me, but a lot of people like it because it has the features of paid launchers for free.

All of the home apps I mentioned allow for changing the dock background except for the free ADW (as far as I know). You can find dock backgrounds and icons here on xda in the themes section.

Have fun!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Download Astro, EStrongs, File Expert, efile, whatever file explorer you want. Rom Manager thinks it's a flashable zip... it isn't. You can mount your SD card to your computer & extract them that way if you'd rather.

In ADW Ex, long press the app icon (on your homescreen) you want to change and choose "edit". Then tap the app icon in the box that comes up, and it'll take you to your gallery. From there, choose which icon you want to represent the app.

another ... boot animations .. is this when the phone boots up and instead of getting the cyanogen android boot screen, i get whichever boot i download? if so, i can't get this to work ..... i need to buy you guys and girls a beer :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
Lol. I take it you got it:) And the boot animation is the lil video sequence that comes on right before the os loads. So you have splash screen, boot animation, then the phone boots up. When you find one you like, move the file to system/media for cm based roms like the one you are on now. Make sure it is named bootanimation.zip and not anything else :) You will need to push it with adb or you could use a root file explorer like root explorer to put in the folder.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
No problem. You will need a file explorer that will allow root access to find the system folder. Or use adb. Adb is kinda difficult and a pain in the a$$ to use so I purchased root explorer. Best money I've spent on my evo :)

Sent from "Deebo The Evo" via XDA premium
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I second buying Root Explorer. That and Titanium Backup Pro are my two most useful "root" apps. If you don't want to purchase Root Explorer, you can use EStrongs (ES) File Explorer or File Expert. You'll need to enable root access in settings. Since I use Root Explorer, these directions may vary for other apps. Again, I highly recommend Root Explorer... it's just so much easier to use.

Okay, you've downloaded the boot animation you want to use. Using your root file explorer, find the boot animation on your SD card. If you downloaded it from your browser on the phone it'll be in your "downloads" folder. If you downloaded it from the xda app or Tapatalk, it'll be in a folder that starts with "tapatalk". Make sure it's named exactly "bootanimation.zip". If you don't see the .zip, don't add it, it's there. Once you've renamed it (if necessary), long press the file and choose copy. Then go up levels (it'll be at the top in Root Explorer and marked by "...") until you can't go any further. Then select the system folder, then media. At the top tap the button that says "mount r/w" - I'm not sure how to mount read/write in other file explorers. Long press the existing boot animation and rename it to anything. Then paste the new one. Long press the new boot animation and select "Permissions". Again, I'm not sure if it's the same with other root file explorers or if it's even possible, so you'll need to look into that if you use a different app. Set the permissions to rw-r--r--, or in other words so it looks like this"

xx-

x--

x--

X's are checked, dashes are not. You cannot skip the setting permissions step, the boot animation will not work if you do.

After you've done that, reboot. You do not need to extract the zip file, I think that's confusing you. Upon reboot, you should see your new boot animation :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
What is giving you the warning? When does it say this, and in regards to what - internal, external/SD, system, data?

Do you have any apps installed, and did you wipe between flashes? If you're using Rom Manager, don't use it to wipe and flash. It's okay for some things - downloading, fixing permissions, etc. If the problem persists, boot into recovery and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache (dalvik is under advanced in CWM) then reflash the rom. If you have apps installed that you want to save, use Titanium Backup to save them and their data. The general rule to avoid bugs with a new rom is to not restore any system data across roms. I save my WiFi access points and restore those to avoid having to reenter my router password every flash, and haven't had any issues doing so, but have only done so across AOSP roms.

If after reflashing, you still have problems, we can help you flash Amon Ra recovery - Clockwork is said to have issues wiping. If you *just* set up your home screens and really don't want to re-add your widgets (backing up launcher settings will not restore widgets) or anything else like Widgetlocker, you can try just wiping cache and dalvik and reflashing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucky7875:
root explorer is giving me the error .. when i hit paste it asks if i want to overwrite the existing and then says not enough free space
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, then scroll down to Root Explorer and wipe data. While you're there, check the amount of free space in internal memory.

If you still get the same problem, boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the rom over itself. If that doesn't fix the problem, you'll need to wipe everything and start fresh.

You can also try renaming the original file before pasting the new one. It shouldn't make a difference, but you never know with technology.

In not sure what the problem is. I'm baffled :/ Maybe try to run the "fix permissions" thru rom manager is all I can think. That usually only fixes force closes but it's worth a shot, wont hurt anything. Or uninstall root manager and reinstall. It's obviously not reading it right. Never seen that before.
