Launcher pro would definitely not do anything to simplify things!

I think something like the titanium roms that were available for winmo

6.5 et al would be good. Stripped down and simpler to use without Sense, also faster imo.

Thanks for your answers.

Actually I noticed some people compile the gingerbread launcher and post it on the market (there's also the gingerbread keyboard).

I may try that ...

i have tried downloading and installing real football 2011 and when i install it everything looks like its working then i get to the title screen and the screen is not the full screen. After I try to play it the game crashes. I am wondering if someone has this game working on their transformers. And if so how and could you help me , my son keeps bugging me to get it working.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

My dock is no longer charging (constant red light) and I called ASUS to get it repaced. They need my serial number but I do not have it because the sticker fell off (why the hell is it on a sticker anyway?).

Is there anyway to extract the seiral number from the dock through software? I don't have the warranty card either, I'm pretty sure it was thrown away.

I contacted newegg to see if they keep a record of the serial number but I don't think it will lead to anything.

thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I don't know of a way to get the serial number outside of looking at the sticker, but thanks for the reminder to write it down somewhere. Hopefully Asus will take care of you without the serial number...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
If you still have the packaging, it's on the bottom of the box. The serial number shown in software for the tablet itself is totally different to that on the sticker / box, so I doubt that even if there's a serial number for the dock in software, that it'd be correct or of any use.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myamex:
The serial number is also on the box.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gibeon:
Or on the first page of your warranty-booklet. S/N from the tablet and the dock seems to be de same, if you bought a bundle.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thenameisgabe:
don't have the box either. i purchase it over a month ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] syntrix:
If you have your receipt, that is all you should need. They should say thank you and appreciate that you send it in.

I just looked at the dock I bought today... NO SERIAL NUMBER ON THE CHASSIS. Part of a serial number is the ability to recover the device if it's stolen. How the hell can law enforcement derive a serial number for... say a reclamation from theft? ASUS should instruct you on how to retrieve the serial number off the hardware. If they can't do that, they should accept what you have, without any question.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jschmier:
FYI: My RMA instructions from Asus state that the S/N has to be on the actual product shipped to them as well. They also state that the warranty is void if the S/N is missing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thenameisgabe:
Yea, i have my receipt. I'm hoping that newegg can send the s/n to me.

Its really stupid that the number isnt printed anywhere on the product. I asked the rep how they would verify that the serial number matched my product and they said that they had ways to do that, but wouldnt tell me what they were.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I highly doubt that will be enforced, but if they attempt to, a quick mention that you'll be speaking to your state attorney general's office would be enough to put things back on track.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] syntrix:
Worth a shot, I'd even type up the letter. However, do you really think the customer service rep really understands what the SAG is, and how they work?

edit: the product hasn't even been out long enough to be OUT OF WARRANTY. What kind of madness is this from asus?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jschmier:
It was a canned response email, so I would hope that Asus is willing to work with you regardless.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Newegg should have it. That's how they make sure you don't box up another unit and send it back to them. They even state that all items sent back will be matched to what was sent to you to make sure you haven't "accidentally" sent back an incorrect item.

I know for a fact that TigerDirect stores them and also lists them on the invoice.

I don't know about the dock but last time I checked the unit the serial number was on a non-recessed portion and I can see that rubbing off if someone handles it slightly roughly. I don't understand how they can fault you for that if they haven't put it on a rectangular recess like most manufacturers do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JaiaV:
The INK on the sticker of both my dock and my tablet is slowly starting to fade. The stickers themselves are fine, just the ink >.>

I imagine within a few more months the serial numbers will no longer be legible.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
The serial number stored in the firmware is not the sn on the sticker. I know asus probably wants the sn for statistical purposes and a way to keep record of the RMA process. It is still partly your fault for throwing away the packaging. I keep the packaging for everything I buy until it is out of warranty

Sent from my Transformer TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thenameisgabe:
If I did that I'd have a garage full of boxes. I usually only keep it a few days and make sure the product works well, if it doesn't, I return it to the store, as they are the only ones that require the original packaging.

Anyways, Newegg gave me the s/n, hopefully ASUS will process the RMA even though there are no stickers on the unit.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Suggestion for the future: cut the serial number label off the packaging and keep it. Even if you do this for every device you own, you can easily store them all in a box. Perhaps even in the box the Transformer itself shipped in. ;-)

[ Tips n Tricks! ]

if u have ur device (SGS2) connected over wifi u can connect to the BT5 vncserver running on ur phone!! u will just need to connect to

<ip_address_of_phone>:<portno>

most of the startup/launching commands can be executed even through adb shell
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] anantshri:
==== Reserved ===

few pointers as this has been asked many times

1) Monitor Mode will not work till someone tried to compile a custom wifi drivers with monitor mode enables, in that case also firmware should allow it.

2) Those using android-vnc-viewer and facing difficulty in navigation check various input modes.

These 3 works the best for me.

Touch Mouse; D-Pad Pan

Mouse pointer control mode

TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bitmaster2000:
Excellent. I've been wanting to do this.

Back Track is running smoothly on my SGS2 with Lite'ning ROM.

When I extract the archive, I only end up with bt5.img, and none of the other files :confused:

I downloaded the files from the first post. Any insight as to what the problem might be?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
sorry had forgotten the shell scripts:

here they are:

bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts.zip (2 KB)

i have also updated the 1st post with details...

[ How To : File Setup ]

u need to do this only once

download the files from the links provided in this thread

extract the files using 7zip to a temporary folder (needs 3.3GB free on that drive)

connect ur SGS2 to PC and mount USB storage

create a folder named 'bt' (without quotes) in the root of ur sdcard

final directory structure should look like this:

/sdcard/bt/bt

/sdcard/bt/bt.img

/sdcard/bt/installbt.sh

/sdcard/bt/startbt

/sdcard/bt/stopbt

once u verify that the above is correct then un-mount usb storage

blimey so how much of backtrack actually works? Struggling to see the wep/wpa stuff working..Anyone?

Bloody hindering awkward to use as well. Good job but hmm, little tough to use.

Bed...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] anantshri:
1) wep/wpa crack will not work till we get monitor mode in wifi drivers.

2) if it feels awkward do check the various input methods you have for vncviewer.

(following works best for me)

Touch Mouse; D-Pad Pan

Mouse pointer control mode

TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] piffpaff:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] admartian:
Nice work once again Doom! Glad to see a familiar poster from the X10 days.

Willing to try this but not at the expense of normal roms. Hopefully one day we get to dual-boot this and a rom/fw of our choice. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
;)

well this doesnt change anything in ur rom...

it runs from within /sdcard/bt (actually it runs from the bt.img file)

so its completely safe to try...

dualbooting is really tempting... would be possible... will see wht can be done...

This link suggestions wifi driver could be recompiled.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] curioct:
No that link says it has been done on the G1, it has also been done on the Nokia N9 (non android), it has not been achieved, as far as I know, on the SGS2 which has different hardware.

The research I have done suggests it is not possible for the wifi hardware on the SGS2, althought I did try recompiling for the BCM hardware in the SGS2 with no success. I have also tried compiling a module for USB wifi sticks unfortunately I have so far been unsuccessful with this as well.

The Process I have used works as I have successfully recompiled other modules but so far I have not been able to get USB wifi working, modules are failing dependancy checks on insertion.

I have had to stop development work on this at the moment due to other commitments. If anyone else has had any more success I am all ears.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] curioct:
From the image it LOOKS like, something failed when creating the necessary directories in

/data/local/bt

you need

/data/local/bt/root/storage/external_sd

/data/local/bt/root/storage/sdcard

/data/local/bt/root/storage/usbflash

create these manually and run again it will probably fix the issue

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

that depends on how your connected? command line in connectbot is simply a matter of clicking and typing.

VNC in androidVNC is a little weird the interface lets you do the pinch zoom and then it comes up with the plus minus zoom but in between is a cross pattern icon tap that it brings up the keyboard.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] curioct:
what exactly were you doing when you got the error? what have you tried to do to fix the issue? does the zip open normally? common give us something here?

Sounds like a standard install error, probably best you read back through this thread there are plenty of posts describing how to do this manually!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dylanprins:
i was installing the shell zip but he wont install, is will search for the manual scripts....

thanks

[EDIT]

now i put the files on my sdcard manually, installed busybox. but he's keep saying:

/data/local/tmp/bt/busybox: not found

i'm using this kernel and rom:

Batista70 FOXHOUND EDITION 0.3
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] curioct:
that's because it's not just about the files on your sdcard, the files and directories in the zip you have been trying to install are those created in the root heirarchy of your phone. Hence then message above is telling you that the specific path to the busybox used by these scripts is not available. This is because you did not manually create and install it there. This has all been covered many times in this thread!

Are you sure you are ready to be messsing with something like Back|track without some basic understanding of how to read and use shell scripts? Don't worry you're not alone seems pretty common in this thread. If you want my advice you are probably better off playing with the live boot disks or usb variants of Back|track, or for that matter a vanilla version of linux and learning shell scripting and linux cli before you mess with this stuff. This isn't meant to be knock you or anyone else it's just that back|track is not a toolset for those with no linux experience. You can easily do significant damage with it, please don't say you were't warned.
