Follow up on this: As time has gone by the sides have started to wear a bit so that they don't have that "smooth non-stick non-rubbery" feeling anymore. This has made it harder to pull out of my pocket without turning the pocket inside-out. I think I may start keeping an eye out for a thin hard case even though there are many things I like about this case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PitbullVMX:
This is a good case. The sides aren't as snug like others have pointed out. The volume buttons are more responsive then the power button but its responsive enough. The case itself doesn't collect dust or lent but the exposed camera lens does as well as the corners a bit. Overall probably the best case I had but has minor flaws, just being picky.

I am using simi weather on my Atrix and I would like for it to open the go weather app when I touch the simi weather icon. How do I do this? Is it possible? When I assign go weather to the simi weather icon it just opens the settings......any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] pl0p:
in the launcher settings, tap on "App for tap 1." You'll see it in the "Tap action weather" section.

then just select the app you want to open.

the next step is to tap on the "Tap style weather" section. When the pop-up menu appears, select "Single."

Be sure to click "Ok" on the top left of the settings section you're on. You'll then be sent one screen back. Tap on "Save" in the upper left hand corner.

that should do it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ericu571:
That worked perfectly. Then I realized, that I wanted to open the beautiful weather lite weather thing not go weather.

Beautiful weather shows more than one day where simi shows one day which I like but I would like to tap it and have the weather open like beautiful weather does. Is this possible?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] pl0p:
i'm guessing all you have to do is select the beautiful weather app instead of the go weather app.

since the widget on your desktop is set to open when you tap it now, you'll have to access the simi weather app from your app drawer and change the "App for 1 tap" app from there.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ericu571:
I tried that and it sends me to the settings of beautiful weather instead of the actual weather popup. So I am not sure what to do.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karma Elite:
Does anybody know of an app that will allow Wi-Fi tethering without broadcasting the SSID. I'm currently running CM7 on my EVO and use the Wi-Fi tethering a lot for my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, except when I'm at work. My employer frowns upon Wi-Fi hotspots, so if I can get away with tethering without broadcasting the SSID, that would be great. Sure, they can find out about the hotspot if they do a scan, but that happening is pretty unlikely.

Or...

Does anybody know of an app. where Bluetooth PAN/DUN actually works? I've tried multiple off of the market, such as "Wireless Tether for Root Users", to no avail.

I have yet to buy an app off the market due to the abundance of high quality free apps. However, if there's a paid app that works as advertised, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

As always, thanks for the help.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karma Elite:
Not only does hiding the SSID not work, neither does encryption. Despite hiding the SSID within the app, enabling encryption and setting up a pass phrase, the network is still broadcasted and it's an open network.

Using the app has also caused my phone to reboot several times.

The most current noob question:

Is it possible to have MultiTouch on Synaptics?

No, you can just have a fake DualTouch, but only devices with Cypress (NOT Cyprus, that´s a country!) support full Multitouch.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntwnhsAnt:
How to know if I have Cypress or Synaptics digitizer?

There are 2 ways to find out if you have Synaptics or Cypress digitizer..

1st:

If fake pinch2zoom from doixanh (which is included in all ROMs) works on your phone you have Synaptics digitizer.

2nd:

Try this command in your phone (either with terminal or with adb shell)

If you have something like this, that means your X8 is using Cypress digitizer

Also if you have "permission denied" you must first enter this in the terminal

and then you can enter the above commands!

If you don't get any output, restart your phone and try the commands as soon as possible.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doixanh:
I'd like to suggest some more solutions for battery draining:

- Close as more apps as you can, and as frequently as you can. Background apps may use CPU, and that will consume battery

- Reboot after you finish using wifi/3g. There are many background network services, like Maps, Market, Email, Facebook... They try to connect to their servers (and take some CPU usage) even after you disconnect from network. Reboot to make everything fresh.

- Reboot after listening to Music. Music service is running in background even after you stop the music and sometimes use CPU. Reboot to make everything fresh.

- Don't use live wallpapers. They're high CPU consumers.

- The less screen widgets, the better. Less widgets use less CPU, which will save battery.

I myself never used the "wipe battery stats" feature and/or battery calibration. I only use the tricks above, and usually I got 3 days for each battery recharge.

You're using BT?

I'm sorry I thought you thoght regluar headset, I skkepied BT part in your post.

In that case I think there's no fix for that since almost everyone is having problem with bt headsets on custom roms.

But as for regular headsets if you're expiriencing problems changing sd card cache read size should fix hickups.

Hi yall i am new here and i just rooted my phone like litteraly 2 hours ago n i have spent the past like hour looking for the right rom to dl n install but all i found that was easiest if gingerbeast but idk how to like wipe it n instal it n all taht i was wondering if yall could explain it in noob terms plz =) but what do yall thinks the best rom out right now? thank you in advance =)
[General Questions and Answers] nattyddubbs:
Assuming you are rooted correctly:

1) Download ROM Manager from the market

2) Choose your ROM - You mentioned Gingerbeast this is a very good starting point as installation is less painful than alternate roms (depending on device of course)

3) Download rom to computer then place .zip file in root directory of phone's SD card

4) From phone launch rom manager and select "Install ROM from SD Card" option

- After selecting this you will be prompted to chose the .zip; select the rom you downloaded

- After selecting rom check the "Backup Existing ROM'", "Wipe Data and Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" options.

**ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR STABLE ROM BEFORE CHANGING**

Your phone will then reboot and if everything goes well it will start up with your new ROM!

As you have additional questions about specific ROM's I would consult the forum thread for that ROM, most questions are answered somewhere.

Good luck!

now that boot is flashable i think our devs can start developing custom kernels,

this means also that for all the people like me with problems of cpu can have finally a solution

if any dev can help, all who messed up with tenfar's recovery needs a new kernel, overclocked and without the thermal throttling ( god knows what partitions have been formatted) as our phone thinks is always in the temp range to cut 50% of frequency

i found this kernel in lg optimus, it's a tegra device so should be so different...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeRmiT80:
i see that there is even a tutorial to create custom kernels, seems "easy" but not for me at all...

our custom kernel, (i'm still on froyo for the moment) should have the ability to bypass the 50% cpu freq policy of the cpu thermal throttling.

so the possible solution are:

we raise the cpufreq to overclock it till 2000mhz (so we can run our 50% at normal 1000mhz)

or

we remove/change the policy to limit to 50% the cpu in case of high temp leaving the 115C shutdown only

i have 35C cpu temp, while the 50% policy should run above 90C cpu temp...i assure phone is cold...

if perflock is disabled we can adjust cpu setting with setcpu and create our temp policies

anyone could help us?
[Verizon Droid Charge] el_brio:
I have never rooted an android device before. I have read several of the posts in this forum on the subject and have a few questions before I start:

1. I am still on ED1. Should I upgrade to EE4 before I root?

2. I was going to follow this guide. Is this the best way?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657

3. Before doing this, I want to make sure I know how to get my phone back to stock in case I have a problem. Do you just use the Odin full restore?

4. I was thinking about installing a voodoo lagfix kernal. Is the difference worth it?

5. (Voodoo Lagfix Kernals) I also read that once you flash a lagfix kernal, if you (accidentally) try to install any future OTA updates you will brick your phone. Is this true? Is there a way to disable the update nag screen so that I don't accidentally hit the upgrade button?

Thanks for the time.

Brian
[Verizon Droid Charge] el_brio:
What about just question #1? I am 99% sure that I should OTA upgrade to EE4 before doing anything, but I want to make sure. Please help.

Thanks,

Brian
[Verizon Droid Charge] rheno:
1 & 2. Yes. Accept the OTA update to EE4 so that you get the new basebands, then follow the steps in the link you posted.

You can find all the kernels and roms you want in the development section. The basic steps are: Download Odin, download CWM, download kernel, download rom, flash CWM with odin, flash kernel with cwm, flash rom with cwm. (flashing roms is optional, but you need to Odin CWM and flash a kernel in order to get permanent root.)

3. The steps here are the best way to get back to factory stock with no root: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...harge-full-factory-tar-flashing-software.html (I would do a wipe and whatnot to be safe and also make sure you have lagfix disabled so you're back to the rfs filesystem)

4. I think the vodoo lagfix makes a difference. I would recommend it.

5. I don't know if accepting an OTA update while running the voodoo kernel will brick your phone for sure, but there is a way to disable the OTA update notifications. I read it somewhere in these forums, but I don't remember where. If I find it then I'll share the link.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daim0nas:
Hello!

Could someone show me a way to redirect the output of the vmstat

command to a file in Android OS? I use adb to connect to my rooted

phone where I run some processes and I want to take vmstat stamps

every five seconds, which I can do it through this commanD:

vmstat -d 5

I tried to redirect the output followig the classical way:

vmstat -d 5 > vmstat_output.txt

but doesn't work.. :confused:

Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daim0nas:
The problem was the fact that vmstat is a block-buffered command, which means that a buffer has to be filled

with data first and then this data will be flushed to the file.. I download the source from here and I added one

extra line:

fflush(stdout);

right after the print_line command (line: 134). Then, I cross-compiled the vmstat.c with agcc, and put the file

to the /sdcard/ through the adb.

Now the redirection works perfectly, as after every print_line call, the data are flushed to the file.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pugsby:
Update: Hallelujah, we have seen the birds!

Just for future reference to those of you who may be stuck in an "APX loop", where NVFlashing and even repartioning do not work for you. I tried many things, and only one thing worked.

Didn't work:

1) NVFlashing to anything

2) Repartioning or wiping

3) Wiping out all storage on the SD card

After doing many, many rinse and repeats on the above, the only thing that did work were these instructions:

Now, I don't know of too many cases like mine where APX was the only thing that was working and that no amount of CWM or NVFlashing could bring back whatever was wrong with the bootloader, but this method forced a recovery image restore and got me back to the point where I can now power down and reboot. And for that, I thank this fine community!

I think we need a better guide somewhere on... Stages of recovery. If this doesn't work, here's the next deeper level. (Example: Level 1, wipe data/cache and reflash the rom. Level 2: Repartition and fix permissions. Level 3: NVFlash for 1.1 or 1.2 back to stock. Level 4: run the steps I have listed above. Level 5: fixing the bootloader. Level 6: Remove the case cover and short the back.)

Anyways, thanks again guys. Hopefully someone else will search with the same issue I had and get fixed as I have.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexdash:
try this (not a developer here) when it boots up use your computer to delete all the files on the sd card so it looks blank- not sure if it will fix your issue but if there is a file on there messing your reboot into cwm that should will get rid of it. let me know how it goes. (standard at your own risk disclaimer) i have done this before just to see what would happen and nvflash brought it back up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pugsby:
Hey, thanks for the reply. The sdcard was already blanked out through my various steps, so that doesn't appear to be the problem. Same things happen.

Now, that's just the app data and such on the sdcard, so I am guessing if I was able to see/delete all the system files instead via USB and delete it that way, I'd see something else.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexdash:
just to bee clear i would delete everything on there not just the system files- so when you go to the drive from your computer it shows nothing at all.

here are the steps i would take start to finish.

1 nvflash rom

2 connect to computer, mount usb, then highlight and delete all files on gtab.

3 nv flash again (preferably with a stock rom with cmw pre loaded

4 reboot and pray that this fixed it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramerco:
OP - What size is the nvflash file you are using? I have run into a similar issue before with the larger nvflash.exe (like 152kb). It should be 140KB.

Just something else to check.

So to clarify, when you nvflash the 3588 stock image, it will automatically reboot at the end of the nvflash_gtablet.bat batch file?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
With the tablet in APX mode and plugged into your computer...

1) Open a command shell

2) Navigate to your nvflash directory

3) type in the following command but DO NOT hit enter

nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 6 part6.img --go

4) Hold down the volume UP key on the tablet and press the enter key on your computer.

5) Continue to hold the volume UP key until the tablet starts the nvflash.

6) Release the volume up key and when the nvflash finishes it should boot into CWM

After you repartition, wipe data, clear cache, etc. it might still loop into APX. If it does you'll need to force it to install a new bootloader. I'll dig up a link to the procedure if you need it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I'm interested to know what the hell you did to get to the apx bootloop in the first place. I've gone through great lengths to try to replicate people's problems. I've even purposely done things out of order, done things wrong, drop the gtab couple times, etc. and I've never run into this problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
I've worked on quite a few of these and still can't replicate it on my own either. Most of them had flashed an incompatible version of ClockworkMod (usually with ROM Manager) and a few had tried to move from Cyanogen directly to a 1.2 based ROM. A very small minority of them had issues with their internal flash memory. No one consistent thread that ties them all together that I've found. One interesting point though... In every case it was easy to recreate the problem after the tablet had been "Fixed." All I had to do was nvflash with the same image that was traditionally used for returning the devices to stock (bekit 1105).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I'v tried rom manager, wrong cwm version, and wrong bootloader. And I still can't replicate this apx bootloop thing. And I have 2 gtabs to work with. A 3rd one should be coming soon. Weird.

Added by edit.

I'm assuming you're some kind of technician or repairman? If so, then it's good that you're telling me this. I've been considering the possibility that this apx bootloop thing is not really an apx bootloop but rather something the user is doing or a button is stuck or something silly like that. Good to know the problem is real.

Mind telling me how you fix this? Since I can't replicate this, I have no idea how to even begin fixing this.

Note that he is using the NVFLASH_46 and although is has been deprecated, it works like a charm:

1) NVFlash the g tab_46 (it works with 46 and doesn't with other)

2) Let it finish and boot up

3) Go to storage setting and unmount the sd card.

4) Run a format.

5) Go to security and do Restore to factory settings

6) As part of this it will reboot. When restarts you'll see the birds. Everything is back to normal.

This got me into CWM (Yay!). This, however, did not fix the APX looping (boo).

I repartitioned, wiped, nvflashed, wiped, repeat. Even though I have more options now with CWM, the end outcome is still the same that after the initial boot, it won't boot again.

BUT, I did find a working method. See the original post.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pugsby:
I was hoping you'd respond, goodintentions, as I used your NVFlash files and instructions this last time around from your very handy site.

I'm not sure exactly what happened. I do know that Rom manager was involved somehow, trying to use that integration with recovery. (I know, not recommended, but at first it acted like it would work).

Also, I think a 1.2 Rom was mistakenly flashed on top of a 1.1 bootloader somehow.

The details are fuzzy. It's been so many things since then that who knows.. :)
