lol, I certainly would love to do that. What are the chances of that bricking the tablet completely.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dwl99:
Not sure but it sounds like it may be bricked already! This would be a last resort if fun_ cannot come up with anything (but he usually does!).

PS you could try restoring the clockworkmod rescue backup I posted in post #1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Parastie:
Did you at any time use FWtool in Android? (I'm not sure if the Kogan tablets come with this or not) If you did then you're out of luck with the touch screen.

As far as I know, no one has bricked their screen flashing from other ways (recovery, fastboot, or FWDN). If you flashed the Resistive rom instead of the capacitive rom, then that might be why the screen isn't working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sheedatali:
It was the correct FW, the issues was that I was trying to install gtalk via FWTool, it had an option to Auto-Calibrate checked. Which of course kicked calibration resulting in bricking of screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jamesgid:
Thanks so much dwl. Downloading now. Hopefully this fixes my issues :)

Just so you all know, the rom EM73-8K-20110516.zip did not work for me. It starts to install but straight away goes to 'Installation Aborted' with no error (toggled signature verification, but then it failed verification, so not that).

EDIT: YES!! IT WORKED!! Great work dwl!! It gave me an issue about sd-ext but it has booted fine. Now to check if wifi and market will work for me. Thanks again!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
"stopped ! mark" then you need to hold BACK until menu is displayed.

TS issues is another issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
you tried to install that zip from clockworkdmod? then, of course, install must be failed :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
please do not flash lk.rom.

I got a report on my dev thread that TS is killed after lk.rom flashed.

I'm not sure that report is correct but please do not at this time.

(I think he didn't read my howtos etc because no need to use FWDN for him...)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wlee2:
I am actually not sure how to install CWM.. because when i start up my tablet with Back and power it does not goto a recovery???.. is it ment to lol..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
please explain what happen when try to boot recovery?

(press & hold BACK while POWER ON and hold BACK until recovery menu is displayed)

nothing is displayed?

stopped at 1st boot logo with "fastboot mode" text?

passed 1st boot logo and stopped at ! mark?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wlee2:
Will try again later tonight but i think it ended in the android and a ! thing..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jamesgid:
apps2sd

So has anyone got apps2sd working? DWL - I know you were trying a few things. How did you go?

Have used Titanium Backup to move as much as it can (it moves programs to the internal SD card, not the external), but still very low on internal memory.

System rom: 262 MB (87.9MB free)

Internal: 197 Mb (20.4MB free)

SD card: 3.31 GB (2.58 GB free)

Clockworkmod formatted and partitioned my external card, not the internal card. If we could get the internal card to act is the ext3 partition for some aps2sd goodness - that would be perfect!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Parastie:
As in all dev posts, we have said not to use FWtool. It flashes the TS controller and there is no way to fix it currently.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dwl99:
No success with app2sd yet. I think I need to edit init.rc but am not confident about what to do. To free up space for apps you can format the Dalvik cache with cwm and also use Titanium Backup Pro to convert some user apps to system. Although some apps then don't play nice.

BTW you need to flash the EM73 firmware with FWDN tool,it will not work with cwm.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dwl99:
I emailed support about the unresponsive touchscreen (turns out it's only a problem when charging for some reason) and was advised by them to try recalibrating it with FW tool. Thank goodness I ignored that particular bit of advice. I think you should urgently contact Kogan to return your tablet as faulty before your 7 days are up under the distance selling regulations. If cwm still works I suggest you do a factory reset so that it doesn't appear to be rooted when you return it. Then re-flash stock recovery so that there's no trace of cwm.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fun_:
I think "recalibration" in FwTool is not bad... I run it on my EM73 and no problem. probably it may fix strange response TS. (some kind of calibration is needed on capacitive touch screen)

"update" kills TS.

anyway, FwTool must be killed :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dwl99:
I came across a power cable adapter on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160572589194&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT which should allow for recharging with a standard USB charger or a Powermonkey. Have ordered one to see how well it works in practice.

I also came across a good video player - moboplayer https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil&feature=search_result which allows you to adjust the volume & screen brightness by sweeping up & down the screen without any need for those annoying softkey volume buttons (which aren't visible during video playback anyway!).

Anyone know if there's a way to wake the screen via the Back button? I think CM6 can do this on my phone but I didn't want to try a CM build on the tablet until more of the bugs were ironed out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hallokitty:
Looks like there are some lockscreens on the market that may allow this - maybe "No Lock" for a free one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkdir23:
hey, thanks for all the info guys.

I have a samsung galaxy s which has similar specs to the tablet but yet my kogan is running extremely slow relative to it. It lags a lot and just now it crashed and i had to reset it. I was wondering if everyone has the same problems or are you're tablets relatively smoothly running ?

dwl99, i tried using your nandroid backup to see if it would help, so i downloaded it unzipped it, placed it in a directory on my external sd card (as for some reason the internal card can't be read in cwm) /clockworkmod/backup but i keep geting an error saying:

Checking MD5 sums . . . .

MD5 mismatch!

I would be really grateful if you had any advice.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dwl99:
Probably a corrupt download - try downloading it again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkdir23:
@ dwl99, did as you said but i am still getting the same message. I'm sorry I'm not used to backup restoring.

What I've done is taken the zip file, unzipped it, placed it on my external sd card in directory /clockworkmod/backup. I put the whole the whole phone+telephony folder in it without doing anything to it, was there anything I am missing ?.

thanks for the help

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataomega:
hello all

about sd card slot, as i see in forum, it's not usable yet. why? that is a lack of hardware and will be usable after 4g upgrade? or it's just a software issue and can be used with hacking android?

and another question, the 4g will be available after hardware upgrade. how about 3g? is hardware needed for 3g , 2g (gprs) installed on device? i mean is it possible to use 3g with hacking software or it's lack of hardware

thanks in advance
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
4G is a pure hardware issue. Hardware changes need to be made, that is why the 4G upgrade, when it happens, will require the Xoom's to be brought into service centers. Nothing you do to the software can add 4G.

As for 3G, it is also a hardware question. If you bought a 3G Xoom, you have the proper hardware for 3G...if you bought a WiFi Xoom, you do not. No hacking possible or required.

If you want 3G and bought a WiFi Xoom there is a very easy fix however. Put the WiFi version on Ebay or give it to someone, and go buy a 3G model.

Quick and easy, all fixes should be like that.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataomega:
Thanks for your reply. Mine is 3g. But when i put my sim cart nothing happens. I'm in asia, not us not uk
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Then I would suggest checking with your carrier.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataomega:
Im from iran. Here we have not 3g carrier yet. Both operators here are 2g network. The carrier i use, the network is EDGE, cannot i use mysim card for gprs internet? Just like gprs in htc.

And also in setting, mobile network, i see an activation. What is that? I didnt activated yet. Is it activation for verizon carrier just in us?

For using other carrier device should be unlocked like God dang iphone or ... ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataomega:
stock browser

Also another question. I installed a few browsers but the best browser is the stock. The only problem with it is typing, for example just now, i'm wroting this o xoom but writting speed on stock browser is very very slow

What is the problem? Is there any solution? Or any better browser?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataomega:
also i forgot to say that my rom is stock rom and not rooted yet
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Typing lag is a known issue on the Xoom. Are you running 3.0.1 or 3.1? Most people say it improves with 3.1. YOu can also try rooting and installing one of the custom kernels with overclocking, either Tiamat or Launchpad. The Tiamat kernel cleared it up for me, even with moderate overclocking (1200 on mine, usually).

Lots of guides here to help you upgrade, root or install either kernel.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I can't say for sure, as I have a WiFI only model. Likely the Activation option is relevant for Verizon only, but put the SIM card in and choose the option, see what happens. I would assume that if your SIM card is legit, then it should work on the Xoom, but this is unknown territory for me.

Anyone using a 3G Xoom with gprs?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataomega:
i use my sim card with my htc hd2 (android), i'm using gprs a lot on it
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataomega:
and how about sd card slot, the reason it doesnt work is lack of hardware or can be done with software hacking?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
The lack of an SD card is a software issue. Use the Tiamat or Launchpad custom kernels to enable it.
[EVO 4G General] cturner06:
i have just taken the plunge into cyanogen because of the OTA updates and with 7.0.3.1 they have fixed the GPS. this is a hugely important feature for me as I use gps to track my training logs on SportyPal. The gps works, but not great, and not as quickly as it did in sense and this affects the accuracy of recorded speed and distance.

I am wondering if there is a way to change the polling rate somewhere in the settings of cyanogen?

the examples i can offer are

sense polling - about 3-5secs apart

cyanogen polling - about 30sec to 1 min apart

these were taken only one day apart and the only difference is cyanogen.

thanks for any help!
[EVO 4G General] galandy:
You could try a different gps driver like this one and see if it polls more often? As far as I know, there is no way to currently configure the polling time.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Liking this so far, practically an instant lock.
[EVO 4G General] cturner06:
THIS!!! man this worked great, thanks so much! i'm now completely sold on cyanogen!
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yeah I sent a PM to the guy suggesting he try to merge these drivers into cyanogen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] StavNa:
G'day there, I have a quick question:

Is there a way to add shortcuts to apps to my homescreen as just a line of text? I'm using Regina Launcher because it allows different styles for every screen, and its a really neat creativity tool, but I'd like to push it further.

I'd like to be able to put just a line of text (or a long transparent icon with a text graphic, im not fussy) on my homescreen as a shortcut to the app. Is there a way?

Thanks in advance for any input.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rapharias:
I think you can download an icon pack with icons looking like texts (and not pictures), then choose the option on launcher to not show shortcut's name.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
It won't work on the Nexus S because the sprint TV app needs a sprint network to function. It actually will not let you run it on wifi and boots you off.

It will work on Nexus S 4G since it runs on sprint network.
