Try wireless tether for root users, it has worked great for me. It isn't on the market you have to Google it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divx88:
Thanks for the reply; found it and installed. v2.0.7 worked, none of the v3.1 would work. Had similar behavior as the other two. This actually was the one I tried which I forgot the name of. I ran across a couple other v2.0.x with the same effect.

Thanks

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] peeter123:
Hi ppl,

Today I will tell you howto unpack and repack your Galaxy Ace boot.img files. First the base and page size:

The base parameter is 0x13600000 and pagesize is 4096

- First get your boot.img from CWM backup / odin package / dump etc.

- In linux make a folder on your desktop called something like bootrepack

- Place your original boot.img there along with the extracted files from the attached zip.

- Run this command to split your boot.img

./split_bootimg.pl boot.img

This will split your boot.img in kernel and ramdisk.

If you get permission error try to chmod the file to 755

- Now extract your ramdisk to make modifications to init.rc for example.

mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
cd ..

- Make the required modifications.

- You can also replace kernel by deleting boot.img-kernel, and replace it by zImage.

- After all the necessary modifications are done you can make a new boot.img using this:

./repack_bootimg.pl boot.img-kernel ramdisk bootnew.img

- Finally move your bootnew.img to a new location and rename it to boot.img. From there you can create update.zip to flash it using CWM

Always make sure you have a proper nandroid backup before you flash a new boot.img

If your repack fails you can always restore using CWM - > Backup and Restore - > Advanced Restore - > Date/time bla bla -> Restore boot

--------

Added bonus: I've edited coolya's ext4 kernel for XXKPH to also run install_recovery.sh for a2sd support. Flash using CWM -> Install zip -> ext4-a2sd-update.zip

--------

Sources:

- Android-dls on Unpacking and editing boot images

- Ysgace for base and pagesize

- k0mpresd/original author for repack script

Hi,

Hi guys! I would like to known from you some impressions about the arc..i'm an x10 user and i love the arc but i know that its hardware is just a little bit outdated compared to new dualcore phone..anyway i saw that are available some kernel to overclock cpu up to 1.86 and many other features! So i would like to know if you think that is a good idea to switch to the arc or wait to buy another new phone??from x10 to arc is a big step or not?

Thanks a lot guys

Best regards

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rycon33:
I'd say just get one of the dual cores out there. Plus their RAM and internal memory are bigger than Arc. I myself is leaning towards htc sensation as my next fone and handover my Arc to my mrs. Although Arc is not so bad in normal usage like surf,chat,music n movie. It's just that it's becoming boring at least for me as there's no other ROM to try out at the moment considering most of the users are bootloader-unlocked. Cyanogen is under development though.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PUTALE:
hi, I am curious if anyone can help me with this. I have multiple email account setup with my tilt 2. I am curiuos if there's anyway I can assign different notification sound to each email account when new message arrives? Also, I am curious with either stock rom or cookie 2.0, can I have different notification icon shows on my home screen for different email account instead of just 1?

I am not sure if this makes sense but now I see that when I get email, the icon will display all of the emails from 3 account instead of like 1 from yahoo, 3 from gmail, etc? Is there anyway I can show different accoutn with different icon (I have used spb mobile shell and it let me do this) but I am curious if stock rom or cookie does the same thing.

thanks.

To Root the LG Optimus 3D any firmware you will need

SuperOneClick , winRaR to extract the file , also you may need google ADB drivers if your on windows xp

Step 1: Download SuperOneClick here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IKMS0QN3 then extract it.

Step 2: On the phone goto settings > Applications > Development > Turn USB Debugging on also turn on unknown sources.

Step 3: connect the phone to your pc make sure mass storage is turned off once connected wait for the drivers to install

Step 4: Run SuperOneClick as admin and click on Root, sometimes it can take a few minutes once it's done restart the phone now you should have superuser app on the phone.

To play Tegra Games you need to Root your phone first

Download this https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d&feature=search_result

once you have installed chainfire goto chainfire it will ask for root permission press allow

Then install CF3D Driver phone will restart once done

now download this http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G2AXTW04

this is the nvidia plug in put it in your sd card anywhere

now open up chainfire then install plugins then select nvidia zip

next gotodefault openGL settings > use plugin select nvidia

go back and select fix market settings

Your done you should be able to play tegra games now :)

I'm not responsable of any damages to your device

Thanks for the info.. towards the end you're instruction it says "go back and select fix market settings" however, this is greyed out and says it's the option is only available in the Pro version.

Hence, is there any other way of fixing market settings without buying the pro version of ChainFire?

Thanks.

PS. My 1st post so would just like to say thanks to everyone for all the useful info on here. Picked up my O3D earlier today from carphonewarehouse. Never used Android before, moving from Symbian on the i8910 to this O3D. Before even putting the sim in, I connected it to my wifi and tried doing an update. It froze at just over 40%, tried several things before ending up on this forum. Needless to say, after through 6 hours of threads I eventually managed to get it going. Cheers everyone!

Edit: It's ok, figured it out! Thanks.

Getting hold of the pro version was simple enough;) but it wouldn't install with the free version installed. Assumed it would just upgrade the free version but had to uninstall the free one first. Work fine afterwards.
[LG Optimus 3D] bioweb:
Excellent guide. Just installed all components and tried Pinball THD and Guerilla Bob THD and both games run great.

Dungeon Defenders downloaded the extra Tegra content but completely froze when I started a game, had to pull the battery to get the phone to work again. Haven't tried it again, might have been a fluke.

Edit: it actually was a fluke. After the reboot it runs much better and doesn't freeze anymore. I do get some minor framedrops once in a while but maybe I can up the performance with the lower texture setting in Chainfire. Riptide THD runs great and Galaxy On Fire 2 THD has some minor graphical glitches but besides that runs very good too.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoofoox:
to run android you mustn't enter bootloader because you run anroid out of winmo by pressing haret.exe so you don't need to enter bootloader

and if I do a complete backup with spb backup and then I install android how can I restore everything from the backup? :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoofoox:
at the moment you are not able to put android on your phone instead of winmo, you run windows mobile and run haret.exe then it will launch android, it boots into android (and don't touch your windows mobile, it run in the background) if you restart your phone it will boot windows and then you have to click haret.exe if you want to run android. It doesn't erease your winmo. Android is installed on the SD card not on the phone

the files that in the other versions are in the folder "npkinstall" are in the root folder and when I try copying the files in the SDcard it says that there are some files with the same name and I can't keep them both (startup and zImage)

So I just unlocked, rooted and installed jellybean on my transformer prime 201. My problem was i couldn't boot into recovery at all after doing so. The rom worked fine. So i tried installing twrp jb bootloader via fastboot. It said it worked. Still couldn't boot into recovery. So i tried fastbooting cwm recovery.img. Fastboot wasn't recognizing the tablet anymore. I then flashed cwm through rom manager. All seemed to have went well. I still could boot into bootloader holding power-down and then up. So last resort, I download this app, Transformer reboot to Recovery. Now after using it it rebooted the tablet and is stuck at the ASUS splash screen. I assume its trying to get to a bootloader that it can't open. I can't get it to recognize any button combinations anymore so no wipe, android or fastboot options. Is there a way to bypass what this app is doing and just boot android again?

Hello everyone,

I want to buy a TF + dock, but first I need to know some things.

I live in Greece and I need the Greek keyboard. I know that there is not an official honeycomb Greek IME, but Asus has a Greek keyboard.

Can I use the dock with input other than Asus IME?? In Greek there are accents like ή, ά,έ, etc. In windows PC, if you press the button next to L, and then press the letter η, it becomes ή. But when I played with a TF in a shop, the dock keyboard could not input accents.

Also, after a lot of search in my HTC Desire's market, I only found SlideIT keyboard that has a dedicated soft button for accent input, neither GB keyboard nor HTC IME has it (one of the few things that make me jealous of iPhone's greek IME), instead, you have to press η for some time and then swype to ή that pops up.

Is there any solution in this problem?? I really need a hard button to input accents, in order to use it in Document editing and Presentations.

Thank you in advance,

Thanos

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanito:
Thanx for the help,but it is not the characters that i need on the keyboard,but the actual ability of the keyboard to use accents over the letters.

This is what I mean: in greek, if you press ' before a letter like α,η,ε,ι, and then press the letters, they appear like this: ά,ή,έ,ί. It is greek grammar. I want to know if somehow i can do that with the keayboard dock.

I know that some keyboard apps from market like SlideIT keyboard have a soft button for that, but I havent found it on keyboard dock,hence why I am asking if it is possible,or if I can use the keyboard dock in combination with a keyboard app from market.
