[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AleXHB:
I got disappointed when I heard the Wifi (P1010) model was different in the inside, so it has been a pain in the ass to find something that works with this model. :mad:

All custom ROMs for Galaxy Tabs are only for the 3G ones, so it will be nice to see a custom ROM for WiFi only tabs, specially a Gingerbread or Honeycomb one. Even a Froyo rom would be nice.

Any volunteer who wants to make one for us? :confused: I will really appreciate your help!

Okay, the Facebook app on my O1 is really killing my battery; it drains by 10% in half an hour when on standby. Spare Parts says that the phone is running for almost 100% of the time, and partial wake usage blames Facebook. The drain stops when I force close the app. I tried turning off refreshing etc but no luck. Please help me out with this. I'm using void ROM but I had the same problem with the stock ROM.

try friendcaster on market

2) if you dont wanna uninstall that try download something like an auto task killer and put facebook (only!) into the auto kill list ;) but remember dont over using that **** auto task killers fail and waste battery but effective on high-ram using apps :)

[Android Software Development] Steve_OD:
Hi All,

I'm not following the usual paths. I've developed apps for WP7, but now accept that I also need to develop for Android.

Consequently, I need an Android phone as a development test unit. I'm looking at the HTC Desire S or Incredible S phones.

My concern is that I understand that HTC has locked these phones from rerooting.

Would this stop me from creating my apps and testing them on one of these phones, without having to sign up as a developer on the Marketplace.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
You don't need a rooted device to test apps, and a properly installed Eclipse setup will automatically run and debug your app on the phone itself regardless of whether the phone is rooted or whether you are registered as a developer on Android Market. In fact, you can start without even having a phone. The Android SDK for eclipse has a very functional Android emulator included.
[Android Software Development] pidipius:
But, if you want to browse your db data from developed application root will be helpful. Anyway root is not required.
[Android Software Development] pyko:
Yep, you definitely dont' need a rooted phone to develop for Android. I developed my first app and published it before rooting my phone.

As Gene Poole said you can dev even without a phone. I use IntelliJ instead of eclipse - it has Android plugin too, but I think IDE is just personal preference. Though testing on an actual, physical phone is highly recommended.

afaik, there are some cases where you'll need a rooted phone, eg: if you want to make a screenshot app then you might need to root your phone. Though I think this is only if you're doing super funky stuff then you might need a rooted phone, but normal dev should be fine.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] IcedCube:
Hey guys.

I'm having some problems with my HTC HD2, flashing Windows Phone 7 builds that are based on YukiXDA's Windows Phone 7 build 7392 ROM.

Here's what I'm using:

1. MAGLDR 1.12

2. 2GB SanDisk MicroSD Class 4

3. Radio 2.15.50 (I have a European HD2)

The problem is, that the DFT LEO70 ROM is perfectly usable (ie. bootup and functionality), however whenever I load a WP7 7392-based ROM onto my HTC HD2, it gets stuck at the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen with the (i) (love icon) (windows icon) (phone icon) icons. It sits on that screen for hours, not even moving one bit.

What could possibly be the issue? I did have NAND Android (Gingerbread) installed with MAGLDR before I task 29'd the HD2 and then loaded a fresh radio (2.15), then a fresh MAGLDR 1.13 install and a flash of YukiXDA's 7392 ROM, but that didn't work so I rolled back to MAGLDR 1.12 and the DFT WP7 ROM, and that works fine...

Thanks for your help, and I hope to be smooth sailing once again on the Windows Phone 7 ship!

Cheers,

IcedCube

Have you tried wiping you SD card and trying again? Delete any partitions and format and then try again
[Legend General] gualm2:
The information to this guide was taken from www.swedroid.se

Works for Anrodid 2.2-2.2+ with/without root

This guide will NOT move allready installed apps to SD-card

You will need to make a factory reset if you want to install allready installd apps to SD-card (if you choose to factory reset execute the commando that will activate the function before doing ANY settings)

This lets you install apps to your SD-card even if they are not "supported"

Preparation:

To make this work you need Android SDK installed (if your are on Windows or Mac) with the Platform-Tools added

Make sure you have USB debugging mode activated on your handcet

Make sure the drives for your device install correctly when you plug it in by USB

Don't make a choice if you're asked to mount SD. If the SD card mounts automatically because that's your default then change it so it doesn't mount.

How to activate:

Navigate to platform-tools in cmd (I use windows)

controll if your device is conected and recognized by typing: adb devices

If it's found proceed with: adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

To unactivate:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

Notice:

Programs on the SD-card start later then the ones on the internal storage. Launchers, widgets and live wallpapers are preferably stort on the internal storage. You can switch them back by entering settings on your device and transfer them back from SD the same way you would had transfered them to SD-card.
[Legend General] Mastacheata:
So far so good, just one correction:

It's not up to your personal preference to store widgets / apps including a widget on the SD card or internal storage. Widgets simply won't work if stored on the SD card by android native techniques.

U8800V100R001C00B136(Overseas General version) is available at Huawei's downloadcenter. When I unzip that, there are two APPs in the dload folder, UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_CUST.APP

What is that CUST.APP, what does it include? Do I have to use that too when upgrading?

My current version seems to be U8800V100R001COOB136 with custom version CUSTC235D001 (Elisa-edition in Finland). Can I update my phone with that new package to get rid of extra applications?

Thanks, and sorry about stupid questions.... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Hi, well to pinpoint out the most obvious. They included a pdf guide, have you given a quick look at it?

Simple steps.

1.Have clean SD card with a folder called dload and place everything in that folder. You must have at least 512MB free space after placing the files into SD card.

2.Turn off Phone.

3.Hold Volume down and up buttons, start the phone.

4.Wait, the phone will start upgrading firmware.

5.???

6.Profit !!!

Anyhow this should sum up the whole thing.

Don't forget to backup !

Thanks for the reply!

And yes, I read the pdf, actually twice :)

But now I still want to know what that UPDATE_CUST.APP contains (some Huawei-branded-extra-apps?), and do I have to install that too or can I remove it and use only UPDATE.APP....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
yes u can skip UPDATE_CUST.APP and just upgrade with UPDATE.APP.. in this way ur current /cust/xxx/xxx/ folder will be kept intact..

that UPDATE_CUST.APP contains some extra apps that may or may not be useful to u.. though i have upgraded with the whole package, most of the cust apps were removed afterwards and i kept just 3 (Google Goggles, Huawei Input Method, and Swype Input Method)..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Yari71:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadshawki:
Hello everyone, I know what you're going to say but I did a very wrong move.

I tried flashing recovery image through Rom Manager. It gave me four options and I chose Vega Advent. Now after a reboot, it doesn't even boot. I tried to connect to my PC but the USB doesn't detect a thing. I tried pressing the power button for about half a minute and then I tried pressing the power button together with the volume + and - and all together, but still nothing. I fully charged the battery until the light was green but this didn't make any difference.

The NVFlash always gives me "USB device not detected".

I don't know what to do. I'm in a hurry as I'm leaving the country in a couple of days and I don't have the time to argue with woot.com

I learned a lot from this forum in my HTC Hero, LG Optimus, Samsung Tab and the Asus Transformer. You are my last hope. Is there anyway I can unbrick this? Can I hard reset the device? Can I remove the battery and put it back again? Is there anyway out of this?

Please direct me to the right direction. thanks in advance...

You probably got the worst case of rom manager bombshelled. Permanent loop in apx mode + usb recognition borked.

I'm guessing you know how to get into apx mode by power button and volume -. If you haven't tried it, then I strongly you go to the website linked in my signature and go to nvflash page. I just included nvflash stock files with CWM pre-installed.

If you have been using apx mode all this time and nvflash still can't recognize your usb, then you have a nice life.

While you are at it, you may want to flash just the CWM once your computer recognizes the gtablet in apx.

Thanks a lot everyone, I'm so proud I belong to this community.

One last question, what should I do now? Do I still have to NVFlash? Should I flash the right recovery now? Also, which Rom is recommended? At least to start with, knowing that I'm on 1.2.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadshawki:
Well, I tried to start with re-flashing the right CWM but on the "for dummies" site it said that the NVFlash is not recommended. So I tried to power in recovery (which was the problem from the start, I know that I'm the dumbest person on earth) and again I'm stuck with a black screen. Will this be a trend and I'll have to get used to it or is there a solution?

I guess for now I'll have to wait another day until it fully drains the battery one more time, right? I wish I didn't charge it till its full. Is there a way to drain the battery faster or to reset the battery or to remove and put it back? Just to speed up stuff...

I tried holding the power button for 30 and 45 and 60 seconds but that didn't have any effect.

I still use vegan occasionally for playing movies I have ripped from disk and convertet for play on the gtab. It has has 100% hardware acceleration while until proper drivers come out for gingerbread cm7 will only be running video at 80% quality.

After I NVFlashed the stock ROM with CWM preinstalled for the 1.2 branch. Everything was going fine. Then I tried flashing the Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 (downloaded from their site) and it gave me an error. I thought may be i have to repartition the device (because I skipped that part). Anyway, I did repartition using CWM and noww I'm stuck at the "Magic value mismatch" screen.

What should I do next?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Read this carefully: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035983

It sounds like you were on a 1.2 ROM, then flashed CM7 (which is a 1.1 ROM). It won't work.

I know this is confusing, but it's very important to understand the differences and pitfalls. I would consider us to be in a transition phase right, and until every modder here moves to 1.2 it's going to be problematic. There are still two camps, from a development standard - right now CM7 is still 1.1 based and I don't know if that will change anytime soon.

There are also 1.2 XDA ports of CM, in the development area. You could try those as well.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Help me help you. I listed cyanogenmod 7 as on the 1.1 branch on my site in 3 separate places. I've also stressed a dozen times that you can't use a 1.1 branch after nvflashing into 1.2 stock.

What else do you think I should put for it to be more clear?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadshawki:
I said I did something very wrong. I read your guide carefully but then I thought to myself Cyanogen is great, lets try it. I don't know I must have been wiped after 4 am.

Anyway, it is a good thing that I know it is repairable. From now on I will follow the guide EXACTLY.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Haha, ok.

Just go back and nvflash using the 1.1 branch with cwm. Then flash in cyanogenmod 7. Should work this time.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadshawki:
Just a quick question. I don't have access to usb now, so I put the right files on the external SD card. Now the card doesn't show in the CWM menu. Is that right? Do I have to go to a friend to transfer the files to the internal memory?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Cwm should let you mount your gtab to the PC. Try mounts and storage then mount USB (its the last option on the list) . Should be recognised as a mass storage on your PC
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Have you nvflashed to 1.1 with cwm preinstalled? If so you can either go into stock and activate usb or you can use cwm.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadshawki:
No, I flashed the 1.2 stock with CWM preinstalled from your guide (I wish I followed all the steps till the end). The recovery is working fine. But my PC USB ports are all fried, so I can't connect the gTab to the PC. I had to visit a friend to use his PC. So, the question is: Can I use the files on the external micro SD card from within CWM recovery? I put all the needed files through my wife's transformer.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
In this case, you don't have to use usb. Simply put the needed ROM onto an sdcard, use the stock rom to transfer from the sdcard into your internal sdcard. Should work fine.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadshawki:
It doesn't open now. It gives me "Magic Value Mismatch". I'm going to my friend again tonight and I'll repeat the NVFlash once again just to make sure everything is going fine. Then I will transfer the files and flash the new ROM.

By the way, I have a honeycomb ROM "Android Illuminate Alpha 1.3 Preview" on the internal memory now in the form of "update.zip" file and "recovery" folder. Can I flash this from the CWM ? At least to make it boot?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Yes, you can flash that using cwm.

There is a "trick" that allow you to get out of magic value mismatch and back into cwm. It requires a lot of patience and determination. And even then, it is not guaranteed to work.
