Make a Motorola factory cable for Xoom w/ no soldering

@Kippui

The breakout method is versatile in that it can be reconfigured for any pinout, and thus can be (re)used for any custom USB connection. You can also use it as a USB analyzer. But for a specific connection, eg this "factory" cable, try the no-solder method below:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=14092

The how-to is for an OTG cable, but as TX2000 said, it's basically same as the Moto factory cable. The hard part is to find a cable that has all 5 wires connected and correctly color-coded, which is in the how-to,

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Y032X8 (mini-B female to micro-B male adapter) USD$3

Ignore the instructions in the how-to, as we only need the link to the cable. Use a utility knife and remove a 1" section of the cable sheath to expose the 5 wires. Per the article, they should be correctly color-coded. Use a tap splice connector (probably 22-26 AWG, available in any hardware store or online) to connect the red (#1, or VCC) wire and brown (#4, or ID) wire together. Electrical tape the exposed section. No soldering.

Note that if the cable doesn't have the correct color code (red/green/white/brown/black), you'd have to cut the connector to trace each wire to the pin, which is a PITA, but still doable. Hence I'm linking to this article, which is linked to a specific part with (hopefully) correct color codes.

I'm so happy you got it working again! I had a big scare with mine too and I'm still not sure how I fixed it.

Hi,

HTC 7 Trophy may have some GPS issues (no signal).

This is due to your hand that covers the right side of the phone, where the GPS is placed.

To know exactly where it's placed, remove the back cover and find the "GPS A" text.

You need to not cover this part with fingers (no problem with other things).

I have got my Asus from Taiwan so its firmware is TW. My question is if I can install a WW firmware on it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Yes, you just have to root it, install Prime 1.4 WW (or follow the unroot procedure after rooting to flash WW stock)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] keaolyen:
Sounds like someone just got back from Computex...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alirezaircn:
Thanks! Downloading Prime 1.4. May I know which languages WW supports? Chinese, Thai, Korean & Arabic supported?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
Hi. I recently purchased an Asus Eee Pad Transformer and the associated keyboard dock. The keyboard dock arrived first -- Yesterday, Jun 11th. It was in good condition, factory sealed, and I'd paid roughly 160 dollars for it. The tablet isn't here yet, but I opened the dock's box anyway to get a good look at it.

I immediately noticed that the hinge, the part that folds, seemed crooked. On one side, the hinge seems just a little bit higher than the other. When the tablet docks, I imagine it will look crooked, just slightly, but enough to irk me.

Looking around for pictures of this, I noticed the picture of the dock featured on Amazon even shows this!

(Go to the product page on Amazon, and see the zoomed in image of the keyboard dock from above. I believe it's the first image in the product's gallery)

Look at the gap between the part the tablet docks to and the main keyboard body. See how it's thicker on one side? Mine looks like that, nearly the same. The left side has a bigger gap.

Can you see this on your Transformer's dock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
I can see a bit of one side being a tad wider (not enough to matter), but this can also be due to the stress involved when you turn the docking port outwards so you can dock the tablet. It feels like its bending when you hold onto the hinge and turn it. I wouldn't worry about it since it's not gonna shake or make the tablet appear slanted when docked.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
Any bit of one side being wider is enough to matter. Does the gap even out when the tablet is docked?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DreamU:
I see the gap you mention on Amazon - its a little over a 1/2 mm (at full magnification on Amazon the image is slightly bigger than real life). I do not see this difference on my docking station. However, I do not think you will ever notice this when the tablet is docked. Even if I round up to 1mm it means one side of the tablet screen will be 1mm closer to your eyes than the other - this is not going to be visible. The only real issue would be if the tablet docked hit one edge of the docking station because it was so much closer. But that would not happen with the one on Amazon because the gap between the bottom of the tablet and the docking station, at extreme right or left edge, is 2mm (on my machine) - plenty of leeway there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
I'm sorry, I'm a little confused. Is the issue at hand present on your dock or not?

If not, that's reassuring.

If so, I guess I'll learn to live with it.

There are other problems with this dock that I've found, mainly that one of the USB port covers is damaged. I'll be returning this one for sure, either way.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DreamU:
The issue does not exist on my machine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
My hingeline is dead even with the rest of the chassis.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
Dead even, huh? Well, this is definitely going in for warranty.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dorino1:
Update time.

The tablet arrived today. Horrendous backlight bleed (splotchey bleed - the worst kind!) and a stuck green pixel that I noticed while on the phone with Asus support.

Arranged an RMA. Dreading having to pay shipping... Eesh.

The keyboard is going back because of a crooked hinge.

The tablet is going back because of bad backlight bleed and a stuck pixel.

EDIT:

And I noticed what is either a crack or a piece of dust under the screen. It's right near the center, and only visible at certain angles (including straight on, so definite problem)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
So many of you may or may not know, but thanks to drhonk we now have init.d support for our roms

init.d is a folder in your system/etc area and its a folder that can contain different kinds of tweaks such as:

startup tweaks

ram boosters

performance tweaks

etc

How do i use it? simply by having drhonks 2.1 kernel and the init.d folder(with whatever tweaks you may like) in system/etc

Here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ja5t131d395blty/init.d.zip

is an init.d folder with tweaks from: darky, the bionix frost rom and the trigger rom, all in one folder

just unzip using file expert or whatever you use, and place init.d in system/etc then reboot

Thanks to:

darky for rambooster

birge and edt for tweaks

and teamwhiskey/ drhonk

How do I tell if its working?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
doesn't appear to be a folder within the archive. just the files. if i rename it, it just shows up as a file, not a folder. am i doing something wrong?

Should I...

A) create the init.d folder manually and extract the files into it

B) move the .zip file and rename it even though it doesn't show up as a folder

As above, how do we tell if it's working?

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
although apps do re-open almost immediately, some apps stay closed.. my phone bogs when i have alot of apps open, especially when i try to use intensive apps.

that being said i dont use the task killer much to free up memory but to kill apps right before i lock my phone- saving me alot of battery while my phone sleeps.

the article talks alot about processes but i dont go crazy with auto kill and advanced options.. bc they do create instability..

the truth is even the stock rom includes a built in task killer, as do many high end android phones, along with a task manager widget..

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
So what do we do with the init.d tweaks that r inside the folder?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
One of three things:

1) push the tweaks into system/etc/init.d

2) if you do not have init.d folder create it and push the tweaks there

3) push the init.d folder from the download as a whole instead of just the tweaks into system/etc
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
Thanks man. I noticed the folder came with the kernel. The folder is already in system/etc. So im guessing I don't do nothing then just as long the folder is im system/etc right
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Yep just put all the tweaks in that folder and reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
What does he mean option A??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Lol -_-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
didn't mean to confuse you. I was asking the OP a question. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Pushed and rebooted, no issues here. I haven't noticed a speed increase, but I didn't do much other than swipe across my screens and pop open Apps2SD. Plus, OCing the processor has probably given me the boost that these tweaks would have.

Thanks anyway dude, every little bit of speed helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
So did I do it wrong? I removed the extension .zip and just moved it to /system/etc and rebooted my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
make sure that the folder your moved was init.d folder and make sure it wasnt a compressed file

if you just took off the .zip in the name the folder still might be a zip folder, make sure its just a folder that says init.d not a zipped folder that says init.d
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
try changing the vm.heapsize to 64 on your phone and you will see some big changes with the tweaks also switch between cfq and bfq I/O schedulers

the tweaks might take sometime to show performance enhancements but you will see them they are noticeable :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
So.. how would I be able to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Get the application blade buddy to change vm.heapsize and either OCLF by ryanza or tegrak OC to change the I/O scheduler
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
your talking about dalvik.vm.heapsize under advanced settings correct? if so, then im good. just wanted to confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yep advanced settings in blade buddy! 48 is good 32 is kinda laggy but 64 is awesome!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
You can also edit it in build prop
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neocorteqz:
will this work with stock rom and bali 2.1?

also which would be better? conservative, performance, etc? and for an I/O scheduler, which would be the better one to choose for stability.

[Atrix 4G General] lauterm:
I had the exact same problems. GMail wouldn't uninstall, but it was available to install again from the Market. I haven't fixed the dual SMS problem yet, but I bet I have at least gotten rid of the dual SMS notifications thanks to CaelanT. In the case of the Matted Blue Theme this was caused by the inclusion of Text Messaging when I already have Messaging. I saw in the Matted Blue thread that you could freeze it with Titanium Backup. I guess I probably need to go ahead and buy that if I'm going to keep installing P-ROMS and themes.

Great work!

Always good to see people trying new things.

One suggestion: for the atrix, have your first few frames being the red M, and have that transform into the ring. Makes the bootup much more sexy and smooth.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ClearFire:
Looks good!!! I will download and give it a go. I absolutely love lord of the rings!

I do agree with the above post about making the transition smoother and if I could make a request... Could you add "atrix 4g" pr "android" in the same script on the ring below the ring? that would look pretty cool IMO..

Great work on it, came out very nice! :cool:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] shady_lanem:
Thanks for the feedback :D Will improve more on it since this is only my early design.

I can add android logo but not sure about Atrix since other phones may want to use this bootanimation too:p

Or I can add the black speech texts on top and bottom of the ring
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Looks nice.

Is the ring off center when on the phone?

I don't have my wall charger here at work, so can't flash it, and won't have time to mess with copy/paste this morning.

Thanks! Always happy to see people trying out new things ...will give this a go tonight.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ClearFire:
The android logo would be coo too and you are right about other phones taking advantage of this cool boot animation.

If you decided to put gandolfs speech on the boot, making it appear in-sync as he's saying it would look awesome! Though, I know this may be more difficult to accomplish and do not expect it to happen just thinking out-loud
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] shady_lanem:
You're right. It's a little bit off center. Surprised I didn't notice that.

As for the speech to sync with texts, not too hard i think but surely will need lots of reboot
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ClearFire:
Well either way you did a good job and I rock the boot animation regardless! even if it is off centered ;)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] shady_lanem:
2nd design added :D

The texts almost sync with gandalf speech. Tried my best though

Thought of putting the texts in English but the ancient language just looks too cool

2nd design looks great. Will be trying tonight when I get home!
