Fix hardware settings. Now some programs will not consider that the phone has a multitouch, camera flash, brightness and proximity sensors (sensors in the list is not removed, only the list of possibilities)

Fix wifi - now connects

Fix AP - now just running CM

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
I think it's likely the best out there...

<ot>...The phone however, is ****. I'm f*cking tired of all the problems I have with the crappy keys, the lack of RAM, the lack of official support, the insufficient battery, the ugly camera photos and **** video, and all the other big and small faults. I'd be very grateful if someone points me to some other phone worth buying, because I'm at my witts' end with this pice of s.... The latest problem i have is Skype. Old version doesn't work, new version sucks, seems like it needs a space shuttle super computer to work. Any suggestions(for either question)

(Sorry for the rant.)

</ot>
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Eth4n:
Seriously,what do u have to do with more ram? If you need it,you should go back to 2.1/2.2

As for skype,i stopped using it 4 years ago. There are millions of programs that do the same things,and really,i can't find a single reason for use the worst.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
The reason is peer pressure. Simply put, all my friends are on Skype. I can't just go and reeducate them to use another IM service. :)

[Verizon Droid Charge] Jumpie:
How can you tell if you have permanent root on a device? Is there an app or something?
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
Use a terminal app, type su if you get #

you have root.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jumpie:
thanks, that much i know. But how do I know if it's permanent or temporary? I guess what I mean is, when I type su in Terminal I do get #, but if I update the software with OTAs in the future, will I lose this root?

that's what I'm getting at. Will the root stay permanently that I have?
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
There's no guarantee that any root will survive a carrier provider OTA; it's almost always a sure thing that they won't.

Permanent vs temporary root is generally used to mean that the root method will survive rebooting the device or not. Obviously, the permanent one will, the temporary won't.

The ED1/2 root was permanent regardless of the kernel used, these kernel based one (voodoo, etc) you could lose root if you change the kernel unless you had it the other way as well.

ok downloaded bos 4.1 and thought it would be a good change for the ole g tab.....wrong!! now i have no camera it wont play vids so i assume my flash 10.3 wont realy install , i cant go into recovery and now none of my root tools work. i just dont get it. could some one pls help me?:mad:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I don't get it. It is spelled out very clearly that BoS does not have camera yet and there have been some glitches. It's an ALPHA version, which mean it is only recommended for people who want to do some testing and hacking. It is NOT for mainstream usage or for people who like to whine.

My suggestion is for you to nvflash and then sell your device. Then go out and buy an ipad. I'm sure apple's got a department to deal with whiners like yourself.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_ekim:
Lol at someone with the screen name 'good intentions' talking that much smack; but he's right, the issues the op complained about are spelled out in the release post.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
(1) The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Didn't they teach you that in grade school? :p

(2) Look at my other posts. If the questions are genuine, then I am more than happy to spell out the solutions. For example, take a look at this thread.

(3) The OP might as well complain about the lack of 4g or 5g or 6g or that the gtab can't sing and dance on its own.

This is exactly the reason why I recommend the ipad to most people.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memyselfii:
Thanks for the "smoke signal".
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
The fact that the OP began a post here on XDA about BOS shows that he did VERY little research before trying it out.

and paople can say what they will about goodintention's posts, but he's probably THE MOST honest person on this forum...

There are a few different types of G-Tablet users:

There's me, the people that wish they could afford an iPad or other more expensive stable, supported tablet. They found the G-Tab, thought it was affordable, bought it, flashed a stable rom and are happy where they are, even if it is still a Froyo rom.

There's the people that can't resist messing around with technology. These people would even take a toaster apart to see if they could get "MORE POWER" out of it. They are familiar with Linux, or even any generic programming, and they have fun experimenting with the G-Tablet. These people can throw it against a wall, burn it in a bon fire, and still figure out a way to recover from the soft brick that it caused.

Then there are people like the OP. They find this cheap tablet, read all the reviews, negative and positive. See that there is potential if they flash a custom rom. They read up on the basics, then blame the rom developers when something breaks or doesn't meet their expectations. As Goodintentions explained, these are the people that should have saved up for an iPad. it does everything they want it to do, without any user customization whatsoever. They want an iPad more than anything, but think that they can somehow force their G-Tablet to become one...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Nah, smoke signals is so old fashion. Morse code is more up-to-date.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_ekim:
@ TJEvans: Just like the OP should be able to read a release post before installing a rom, you should be able to read my 'lol' and chill; I thought it was funny, thus the laughter. If you read anything other than laughter into 'lol' that's your baggage, not mine. No need to over-defend Good like he's your *****.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_ekim:
Wow, people in this forum are cranky; I can see why some people leave and get info from other places instead.

I don't think I'll bother, but thanks for the suggestion. :) I also recommend the iPad for 'certain' comsumers. It's good that we see eye to eye on so many things.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Mike, wasn't directing my post to you specifically. In General, when GI makes honest posts, people jump all over his stuff about it. You didn't, I just wanted to make sure that the OP knew that GI was actually being honest and true, an iPad is certainly the right device for somebody that's going to tear apart an alpha build of a custom rom becuase their "awesome 1.3 megapixel camera isn't working."

I mean, come on, is the camera on these things even worth using? All you can do is take crappy pictures of yourself.

Hey Good Intentions, checked out your site-very nice! As an android/g-tab newbie everything you need to know is there. Essentially a hand holding guide for the average or below average user. Although you come across someone gruff at times at least you back it up with valuable advice with your site. I wish there was a better way you could get the word out to more people, it would probably save them from themselves very often.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xxhorseriderxxx:
Hey guys, I finally figured out theming on android. After a long 3 days of screwing around installing different kernels and playing with ADB to no avail, I finally found how to push/pull different apk files on my phone. This is where the fun part begins! :D

First a little about my background in theming:

I originally started doing system customizations on the iPhone back in the days of "Customize" where you had to open the app to theme one system resource at a time, from the list of user-uploaded content. That got better with Winterboard where it just dynamically themes anything (but keyboards) on the system by replacing files when the system starts. It took a while, but I did end up getting an exhaustive theme over the years for my iPhone. I recently switched to android though because apple has closed all(?) the exploits to allow root access.

Anyway, I'm going to start a new journey to theme the different apps in the system to remove as much of the boring black UI as possible. On first glace it looks like the android UI is very app specific, I haven't found many unified UI elements in the system framework apks. This makes my life a whole lot easier because I can modify each app separately. I'm starting a thread on this, because it looks like it'd be easy to incorporate requests from people or get people working together to make app themes themselves. So far I've only got proof of concept, but obviously that's the hardest part.

CURRENT TARGET: MusicPlayer.apk (default touchwiz music app)

-------------Just for fun

If anyone is interested, this is what I did for my iPhone 3GS.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] EP2008:
I've tested at LEAST 14 browsers and I have yet to find one that I would use exclusively.

My requirements are simple (and in no particular order):

- must be able to play flash

- must have a working adblocker

- must be able to share pages with other apps

- must be able to copy/paste text

- syncing bookmarks/passwords, etc. would be desired

- must keep open tabs INTACT when I leave the app (multitask). I don't care if the tabs reload after a certain time, but it must not lose my tabs!

That's it... but apparently, what one browser has in features, it lacks in features.

Here are some examples:

Stock browser:

Pros: plays flash, text selection works, syncs bookmarks, can share pages.

Cons: no adblocker, slow, unstable, tabs often get lost when returning back to the browser.

Firefox:

Pros: adblocker (second to none!), great interface, has session restore, syncs everything(!), can share pages, addon support.

Cons: no text handling (can't select text), no flash, fairly unstable.

Opera Mini

Pros: best tab handling if you don't leave the app for too long (I've had over 20 tabs restore for me no problem), very fast, low bandwidth consumption, text handling works, can share pages, can sync bookmarks.

Cons: doesn't display desktop versions of websites (major pain!), no flash, no adblocker.

Opera Mobile (see above, minus the great tab handling)

Maxthon

Pros: flash, sync feature (although I don't use Maxthon on PC, so it's less useful), can share pages, text handling works.

Cons: sync feature requires manually logging in each session, no adblock, often poor tab handling with multitasking.

Zirco browser

Pros: adblocker, flash (although not working right now), can share pages

Cons: no sync, poor tab handling, non-working text selection, flash not showing video only audio.

Dolphin HD

Pros: flash, text selection works, can share pages

Cons: no useful sync, no working adblock, doesn't handle tabs well with multitasking

I've tested many more, but these are the "major" ones...

Why can't I find a browser that can do the few things that I need?? :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zephiK:
You can remove ads by using AdFree but it requires access to root. This removes ads universally throughout the system.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] EP2008:
Yes, I've used Adfree before, but it's lacks the ability to turn off/on the adblocker at will - plus, I had issues with it blocking too well... LOL I prefer something integrated into the browser.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon_72:
I'm a total noob to the fascinate, so i have a 3 part question about the SD card that comes with the fascinate.

1. Is there any improvement to, be found in upgrading to a class 10 card?

2. Can the SD card be formatted to say ext4 or is that what it is already?

3. Can I use windows to make a mirror copy of my old card onto a new one?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalamar1320:
1- speedwise you would probably only see the difference IF you did an ext4 apps2sd (and the speed isn't that noticeable in such application)

2- i dont believe (but could be mistaken) that the roms designed for the fascinate untilize ext4 partitions for apps2sd

3- directly in windows you cannot clone an ext4 partition but you could buy programs to do so or just make a bootable Linux CD or jump drive.

btw I'm basing the ext4 reasoning as you wanted an apps2sd partition if not then there's no reason for an ext4 partition on your sdcard.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon_72:
Thanx for the response.

I was mainly hoping that a class 10 micro SD would be better than the class 2 it comes with. If I go thru my apps and move them to SD, there is a noticeable slowdown on my phone, especially multitasking. When I move the apps back to phone it runs better.
[Android Apps and Games] bompo:
Over the last 3 weeks I ported the lua code from Pax Britannica to Android. I used libgdx for that. I only implemented the two player mode so far. There are also some differences in the speed of the units. This is because of the smaller screen resolution and the so decreased distance between the factorys.

Pax Britannica is a one-touch real-time strategy game by No Fun Games. Two players battle it out underwater, struggling to be the last one standing!

How to Play

Select your ship to start a battle against the computer. Select two ships to start a local multiplayer battle.

Touching your game area (Left screen for player 1, right screen for player 2) spins the needle on the radial menu in the middle of the player's factory ship. The needle will only travel as far as the player's current resources allow. Resources (gold? seaweed? who knows!) accumulate over time.

Releasing the touch creates a ship that corresponds to the quadrant that the needle is pointing at.

Fighter: Small, fast and cheap. Great at chasing down bombers.

Bomber: Shoots slow projectiles that do massive damage to frigates or enemy factory ships!

Frigate: A great hulk of a ship that fires volleys of heat-seeking torpedoes. Effective against fighters.

Upgrade: Improve your factory ship to accumulate resources more quickly.

Ships you spawn fight automatically using the latest in artificial aquatelligence technology. The player who keeps their factory ship alive wins!

This is a complete rewrite/port of the orginal game available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux:

It's the most simple game (control-wise) I've ever seen but I just keep playing it :p
