Well I can't quote you an official statement that something that someone made up doesn't exist, if that's what you want ;)

It's just quite clearly "another one of those stories" like the ROM counter counter, that counts how many times you've reset the ROM counter. I mean, come on! Next we'll be being told that Harry Potter is based on a true story!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Major_Sarcasm:
Wait... what? Harry Potter isn't based on true events? That's just preposterous.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drreality:
I c, so No answer :( & Mr.Potter is a fictional story :eek::eek::eek:

How dare u

Peace
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
Search brings up plenty of how to posts, but what I'm after is what actually goes on during the process. Is this a 100% no trace uninstall or is it like Windows where there always seems to be some trace left behind that frequently screws something else up?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
It deletes the apk from /data and then deletes all the setting/data associated with it.

It might leave behind something in /cache or the dalvik cache though.

But those can be removed by cleaning them though streakmod
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidewaterns:
My wife's G2 is having a video playback issues. I am not sure if anyone has posted about this but her phone records the video normally. But when she tries to play it back it skips and studders. Any thoughts to what would cause that?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidewaterns:
Can anyone offer any thing on this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
can you give us some more info about her phone? is it rooted? if so what rom? etc...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidewaterns:
Sorry about that. Her phone is not rooted. It is completely as is from the factory.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
You've root access?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetbinodray:
if you have recover set up on your phone then simply flash these attached fonts..

These are my FEV font.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dryhte:
... or go here for a nice & huge collection of flashable fonts (take care, the first pages of fonts are only flashable using AmonRa, to find CWM recovery flashable ones you'll have to click some links).

My personal favourite (for use with our phone, where aliasing is sometimes a little problem due to the low color depth) is Ubuntu 10.10
[Optimus One, P500, V General] R-Sarius:
Thanks guys but i found that font changer on the market work perfectly fine :) I am using Helvetica Neue Light. Looks real sleek for a font.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetbinodray:
Then problem resolved
[Optimus One, P500, V General] spy1983:
Which font changer do you use?

Also does that font changer works in backgroud? causes instabilities?

I wanted to install helvetica by myself changing from root explorer, then my phone stuck at bootloop...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuckky:
Hi, Was hoping someone could answer a question for me please. I recently had Crystal Kingdom v0.4 Installed and was able to play the Gameloft HD Games on my Desire, Shrek Kart,Sandstorm, Hawk etc but tonight I installed Cool Sensation v5 and they will not run at all, every one of them forces close. Anyone any ideas ?? Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
They are unstable roms that are hit and miss.

Swyped...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuckky:
Thanks,

Could you recommend a stable one, or one that most people are using ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
RcMixS, InstertCoin, ReflexS should be stable ones. Used RcMixS (a2sd_cm7_hboot version) today. It's very stable. But I prefer the "cleanness" of an aosp rom like oxygen or redux.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuckky:
Thanks for that, just trying to find one I like at the minute, I have just installed MIUI XJ, first impressions seem good, I am restoring my apps as we speak.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Used miui xj for a few weeks. Imho, its an aosp rom in the middle between the big sense hd roms and the small aosp roms.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuckky:
Think I will have tried them all by the end of the week LOL
[General Questions and Answers] goodwidp:
I recently installed WidgetLocker to change the look of my lockscreen and slider and the app is FC'ing every time I put the phone in either the Car or Multimedia Dock. It works fine otherwise but doesn't seem to play well with either of the Docks. I am running Darkslide-X, so not sure what impact that may have on this issue. Any help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks!

Droid X

Darkslide-X
[General Questions and Answers] goodwidp:
After messing around with some settings for a bit, it seems that WidgetLocker FCs any time I put my phone into landscape mode, not just with the docks. I normally keep my phone locked in portrait mode as it seems to be a bit smoother, but when I unlocked it and allowed it to flip, WidgetLocker FC'd immediately. Not sure if this make any difference but I figured I would mention it. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
With the recent update of CWM/PBJ kernel I'd like to update to the latest ones and I'd also like to switch ROMs to test some other ones out. Can someone guide me through this? I've never switched before I just followed (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657), that's it(as far as flashing and such goes). I'd just like an easy to follow guide on updating the Kernel/CWM and installing a new ROM(If and when I'd need to disable Voodoo, if flashing something will reset all my contacts/apps, etc) I'd really appreciate it and thanks will be in order for anyone and everyone who is helpful :]

Info: I'm running 6/15 PBJ OC kernel with 1.8.5 Gummycharged ROM
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
There's not much to it. kernel and Rom can be updated in CWM.

Download the rom you want to flash to /sdcard (root of your sdcard)

reboot into recovery. If you do not have the option holding down the power button and hitting restart. Dl a terminal emulator and type:

$su (to gain root)
#reboot recovery

Wipe Cache and factory data reset

Go to advanced: Wipe Dalvik cache and battery settings

scroll to flash with a zip

choose: select zip from sdcard

choose the zip that you downloaded

once the install is complete reboot phone. let rom install

Follow same thing for Kernel. Just make sure you remember what the name of your kernel is.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jameslepable:
That works a treat thank you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
Easier way to get into CWM: hold down Power+Volume Up+Home until you see SAMSUNG, let go, and you'll boot straight into recovery. No need to mess around with terminal commands.

Also, when flashing a kernel only (not a ROM), there's no need to wipe data.
[G Tablet General] smapdi:
A few months ago, during the whole nVidia Harmony forum post fiasco, there seemed to be a pretty decent campaign by some members of XDA and other forums to get Viewsonic to support their product. That caused them to (at least temporarily) release the 1.2 branch.

This helped push forward ROMs by Roebeet and others. The future looked bright for Honeycomb on the Harmony platform.

Now, after asking a question on their Twitter post today, I am not so sure about Viewsonic's commitment to support a product that still has a lot of potential.

Here is the Twitter timeline:

ViewSonic

What do YOU use your tablet for the most? Tell us on Facebook! on.fb.me/ViewSonicCorp

tomsliwowski

@ViewSonic I'd love to use my GTab for Honeycomb. Are you ever going to support the GTab at all?

ViewSonic

@tomsliwowski The GTablet was never promoted as a Honeycomb product. There are multiple business and technical issues with both nVidia

ViewSonic

@tomsliwowski and Google that prevent later versions of the Android OS from being implemented on the GTablet.

tomsliwowski

@ViewSonic I'm sorry but that is simply not true. Customers of yours on XDA, SlateDroid and TabletROMs have versions of HC running.

ViewSonic

@tomsliwowski There are 3rd party companies that have hacked the device, however, Honeycomb is not support by ViewSonic on the gTablet.

tomsliwowski

@ViewSonic All they need is for you to release Harmony drivers which nVidia already publicly stated they will provide upon request from you

ViewSonic

@tomsliwowski For further support on this matter, please contact the gTablet support team at (310) 228-4000.
​

Frankly I didn't expect them to reply to me and to offload the blame to their partners that quickly. I know that if they don't put at least a fully working (i.e. minimally buggy) official 2.2 ROM I will not even consider Viewsonic for future hardware purchases.
[G Tablet General] joedhimself:
Time to get on Twitter
[G Tablet General] boxofparts:
Maybe ask Tom about an article on Viewsonic's commitment to the Gtab, on their own website.

viewsonic.com/company/news/vs_press_release_443666.htm
[G Tablet General] spike378:
viewsonic is right on the first part but wrong when they dont provide the drivers
[G Tablet General] gruuk:
Well, this is a bummer.

Maybe we should be talking to Malata instead of Viewsonic.
[G Tablet General] MechAniX.one:
Well if you want to make a vow to never buy another Viewsonic product do it now. Here is my hand, I pledge to never buy another Viewsonic product again.
[G Tablet General] iamchocho:
Let's not just vow not to buy, we need to all start calling, emailing viewsonic, make sure you let them know you indend to not only stop buying their products but to also stop reccomending them to friends, family, customers, random people on the street. Let's tie up their phone lines, email and twitter accounts with our vocal displeasure.
[G Tablet General] jetguy35:
I tried this with HP. My Dv6000 laptop was part of a whole batch of bad laptops. Not just dv6000 but a ton of the dv lines. Basically the laptops all overheated and eventually died within 1-2 years of use or less. I called, emailed, did everything and HP basically told me to eff off. I paid $1200 for the laptop as well. Companies suck these days. I will never buy an HP computer ever again because of this. So at least they are losing the customer and I do bad mouth them to people looking at computers because of how bad their customer service is. Google Dv6000 overheat 3 beeps, etc and you'll just see how many people out there had the same problem. HP are crooks.
[G Tablet General] dxf289:
To who it may concern,,,

The following is a letter that I emailed, faxed, snail mailed and posted on their forum:

I am or should I say was a loyal ViewSonic customer. That was until I learned that ViewSonic would not only release a version of HoneyComb for the GTablet, but that you would also not assist the development community in their endeavors to create at least a working HoneyComb-like OS by releasing the Harmony driver sets per Nvidia. Now I know who ever receives this will probably initially discount this as the ravings of one disgruntled customer. I would ask that you consider the following:

1) I am a techie. As such I enjoy big ticket techie items. I am in the market for a large screen television. Guess who I will no longer consider? You're now probably thinking, "Big deal so we lose one customer."

2) Also consider this, as a techie a lot of my friends and family often refer to my judgement on ALL things technical including purchases of electronics.

3) Oh yeah, I also posted this letter on every forum and blog that I am a member of. At last count we are talking 82 sites world wide.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

Signed,

A former customer
[G Tablet General] seldeen:
Never Again

Never again, I say, to viewsonic. That company is a rip off, and even if they improved their ethics, I will not buy. As long as I have self respect, I will not give them one cent, because I will not allow myself to be treated like I am worthless and alive only to service those a**'s. Already, I declined to buy a 24" monitor simply because it has the viewsonic brand.

My Pledge - 30 tweets in 30 days @viewsonic, with a msg similar to No customer care, no product support, cant be trusted, never make that mistake again, boycott, boycott, boycott, remember the gTab.

It would be really cool if at least five or ten people on this site joined in with me.
[G Tablet General] Swaggasaurus:
I too thought the same way when i purchased a Gtab. I am now rooted with Alpha Bottle Of Smoke rom and love it! all the honeycomb i want ;)
[G Tablet General] yashmack:
I went ahead and sent a tweet @ViewSonic as well, asking them if they will ever provide support for a current or future Android OS

Im hoping they will eventually release an update and bring us up to at least gingerbread...

maybe we will get lucky and they will update the GTab with ice cream sandwich...

im expecting nothing though and hoping for something
[G Tablet General] tkrahling:
Except for hardware acceleration which is a big deal
[G Tablet General] MechAniX.one:
I think we might be better off hounding Andrew over at Nvidia for the drivers. He didnt want to give out any Google files but it sounded like he could help with the Nvidia stuff. Now that HC is ported maybe he can help with the drivers.
[G Tablet General] orangekid:
What's a good email address for viewsonic?

we should all just blow them up.
[G Tablet General] TidBit:
Does the Bottle of Smoke Rom allow USB access for transferring files and MicroSD card access?

If so, I will definitely check it out.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I had an interesting Chat conversation with Viewsonic technical support this evening. I knew that Viewsonic doesn't handle the tech support of the Gtablet any longer, but didn't want the support guy, Aljhon (I called him AL) to know that I knew that.

I simply wanted to ask him if Viewsonic was planning on releasing any other firmware updates for the stock TNT Firmware.

his Answer:

"Actually, have dedicated department that supports our G-Tablets. We do not have any information for Gtablet here."

"You may contact them directly at 310-228-4000 between 9AM-5PM PST, Monday through Friday."

I know that is US Merchants contact information, and figured he would probably provide it. I expanded my questioning, explaining that I didn't have any issues with the Gtablet and htat it works fine, just htat I was simply wanting to know if the development team had any plans to update the stock firmware any time soon.

"Honestly Mr. Evans, I would really glad to assist you regarding this but I do no have any information here in my resources."

I made the point that the Tablets are still selling, with the Viewsonic name on the back, and the Viewsonic logo shown at startup...

" I am unable to answer your concern because we do not have any information here for Gtablet."

then he just kept barking the "dedicated department" BS to me with US Merchants phone number.

Why was this conversation important? It says, to me at least, that Viewsonic has indeed abandoned this product. Their support team doesn't have "any information" regarding it. If they were planning on providing a stock firmware update, then that informaiton should be available, right? By stating that he doesn't have ANY information, I took it as Viewsonic washing their hands of the Gtablet, and letting it remain at the latest released firmware (1.1.3588).

I informed him that I would never recommend a Viewsonic product to anyone I know...though now, it seems that US Merchants has their stock, and is the only company profitting from Gtablets.

I highly doubt that US Merchants is developing anything, nor even has the resources to request anything that the community wants. Their contact was Viewsonic, and Viewsonic had the contacts.

Gtablet 1.1.3588 is the farthest that this thing will go, with support from it's manufacturer...
[G Tablet General] DKS1282:
Why dont we start a petition and link it to viewsonics forums. Let the world speak. And that makes 10!
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Because petitions don't mean anything if the other side doesn't listen. All VS has to do is ignore us and time will make people forget about us.
[G Tablet General] 1jesusfreak:
Unfortunately, I do not think that the number of disatisfied g-tablet users will affect them globally enough to change their stand.

We got a tablet with similar hardware at a much cheaper price and I would say that you get what you pay for.
[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
We need to go after Nvidia about drivers we should gather all the harmony device's together and let them know that we dont like them keeping the drivers from us. tell them in one voice we want the drivers released for GB and HC they can do that much at least let us deal with the software just provide the drivers please.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
Therein lies the problem. Nvidea has already said that they would creat drivers if the MANUFACTURER requested them. They are unable to do this for 3rd party developers. Since Viewsonic has removed themselves from all support and future development, there is no reason for them to request the drives. As the OP stated, VS's stance is that thie device was never meant to run GB or HC, so they are not at fault for not requesting that which they never intended for it to do.

US Merchants has no power whatsoever. They provide the support (not well, but still). But they have no stake in actually devleping the firmware any further. They are the ones that are wholesaling these things to Woot, Tiger Direct, and Office Depot.

The only company that actually has the power to request drivers from Nvidea is Malata, and that is VERY unlikely to happen.

The only way we'll get them is if we can find a rogue Nvidea driver developer that has it in his/her heart (or debt) to create a driver for us. but, they will probably lose their job in the process.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
You're forgetting something. We still have one more hope. Notion Ink! The adam is very closely related to us. If notion ink can get nvidia to release the driver, we will have full hardware acceleration.

This is why I'm beginning to think it's nvidia that's unwilling to release the driver. Notion ink has been trying to get the driver for months, and so far they have not gotten nvidia to release anything.
[G Tablet General] mike_ekim:
Replace 'unable' with 'unwilling' and you have a true statement.
[G Tablet General] serialplague:
Not too sure if im gonna get in trouble for this or not

But im just gonna put this HERE

Awesome developers like this are a godsend
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
Oh WOW! full video acceleration!! is that even possible!
[G Tablet General] jccrumpler:
i'm with you on this one. I called Viewsonic also on this and they told me that they do not own or support the G-Tab, they gave me the number to US Merchant. They totally suck a$$. I will never buy another item from Viewsonic. there lost my gain
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
The problem lies with Google. They lost control of the OS since the beginning. The Linux fragmentation has come to Android and killed it. Most people are realizing this and moving out of Android. I see a very dark future for android if Google doesn't start to stop the fragmentation. By the way the harm is already done. i will never buy anything with the Android OS inside, sorry, but is unacceptable that a Tablet bought 4 months ago at 400 dollars is right now obsolete and unsupported by VS. We are not talking about an unknown Chinese brand, it is a Viewsonic. Of course I will never buy a Viewsonic item in my life, and I will recommend those close to me not to do so. For me the Android experience was a disaster. Now salving money for a Ipad or Hp Tablet or whatever besides Android. Android killed the Tablet experience.
[G Tablet General] TidBit:
I agree. Android will FAIL because of the multitude of variations of the OS. I really enjoy my G Tablet, but I don't see a future for this OS. I see why app developers fully support Apple. There is one or 2 devices and they have the same OS. Unlike Android, there is a multitude of different variations of them. And how many iterations of 1.0, 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0.

How many apps can you have that don't work with certain devices.

My G Tab is great, but this is my first AND LAST Android device.

:(
[G Tablet General] ggrammer:
Some of you need to give your heads a shake. Android is going to fail?!?! yeah the most successful OS for phones is going to fail because your gtablet isn't being supported. Give me a break. Yes it sucks that nvidia isn't releasing the drivers and Viewsonic is offering no help but seriously grow up. There is still a very active development scene for the gtab, it runs fully accelerated froyo (yes honeycomb would be nice but is there really any apps out there that won't run on froyo??), and it is super cheap for a tablet.

Now as far as fragmentation, yes it is a real problem for google and android but you have to accept some level of fragmentation when handset manufacturers make low to mid level devices that are affordable to those who can't spend crazy money on the newest hardcore devices. What has to be done is ensure device manufacturers are creating open source drivers for these devices, but I sadly don't see that happening because they are a business as well and they want people to upgrade to newer handsets instead of having the amazing devs at xda extend the life of our equipment well past their intended lifecycle.

/2 cents
[G Tablet General] TidBit:
I understand where you're coming from. But as far as the most successful, well, what do you consider successful? Indian Motorcycles were the most popular and successful manufacture of motorcycles in the day, but where are they now?

There needs to be a consortium of manufacturers. There needs to be standards set.

If you look at accessories and cases for Android, you have a couple of choices for any brand item. Look at iPad/iPad2. You have literally hundreds (yes, way over priced) but a lot of choices. When manufacturers are looking to make items to sell, they can concentrate on 1 type device and make money or make molds, machines for hundreds of different clones. So Android users are stuck with a couple of choices or generics.

Not to mention this scenario…. Friend:” Dude, you gotta get this app for your ‘Droid!” Go to market, This app is not available for your device.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Well I'm 47, was one of the first to compile and install linux back them when we used BBS services and not internet at all. I just kept waiting for the "Big Linux Desktop" year. It never happened and it never will happen, you know why: Fragmentation, fragmentation and fragmentation. And of course the some dev egos that believe that changing a few icons and scripts creates a whole new distro. The same is happening with Android.

And here in the US, people that can buy an iPhone or an iPad are running away from Android like hell. The iPad is overselling all Android devices together and by a lot. People just want a great experience and a finished product, no hacking all the time with roms trying to get what they paid for. Yeah, as a developer myself I like to hack almost everything, but I my age, sometimes a just want to enjoy my purchase, and I did not enjoyed Android, not in my phone, not in my tablet. That's why for me is over with Android, and quite a lot of people feel like me. Just look the sales numbers, they spoke by themselves.

I hope Google got the message and stops the mess.
