[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tronar:
I am using the freshly released Virtous Sense 2.0.0. Why? Because it's based on the recently published original ROM for the HTC Desire Z / G2: 2.42.405.2

So it's native to the G2/Desire Z and not a port, which I consider important regarding stability etc. Especially since the Desire Z with it's hardware keyboard is definitely an exotic variant in the realm of the droids...

What I also like about the Virtuous Sense MOD:

- Slightly overclocking/underclocking is included in the kernel, which makes it a smoother experience while saving power when the screen is turned off.

- You still have the original HTC Sense 2.1 experience

- little things like the battery icon are enhanced (you get an exact percentage) and can also be configured individually if wanted

[Acer Iconia A500] fenguinpower:
I am considering buying a tablet but my real use for it is as pdf reader around 90% of the time. Budget is up to 600 US dollars. So which tablet or reader should I get? My pdfs contain diagrams and images. It is not just text.
[Acer Iconia A500] mankiee:
A500 built in app LumiRead supports both PDF and epub, better than adobe pdf reader; I use it everyday.
[Acer Iconia A500] la tzeca:
I frequently read 50mb PDFs, and my experience says that, BY FAR, the Asus reader is the better looking and, most important, surprisingly faster that every other I tried.

I found it in the Virtuoso-Picasso ROM (Asus based), and the reader is the main reason I do not want to switch to stock Acer 3.1 ROM.

Acrobat reader is not bad too, but misses the "bookshelf" approach.

And no, I do not like Aldiko. Slower and unconfortable.

I've read that Acer's Lumiread is faster on 3.1: Anyone confirm ?
[Acer Iconia A500] jodiac:
Its faster... but not fast enough!
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
I'd strongly advise checking out the Samsung 10.1 and the ASUS Transformer in person, decide if you want the Samsung's thin/light or te ASUS viewing angles. OR ... wait for the rumored much-higher-rez Moto tablet.

I love my Iconia but it's very much a general purpose beast. I wouldn't trade the extra weight or IPS screen for the Acer's USB port. But that's me :)

I just installed desire z gingerbread rom and I found out the mms size really tiny and I flashed rmk_mms fix.zip in recovery menu. The mms size was increase to 3600k but when i sent the picture message it's still tiny. What should i do to fix this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
One thing to check is to see if ur friend sent you a small picture or something bigger. My friend sent me a 7kb pic the last time and didnt tell me that. Try have someone send a pic that is close to the mms max size and see if the pic is still tiny.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Why post the same question twice?? Just because you changed the title of you question doesn't chage the fact its the same question
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiglay:
Spastic909 - The op's were several days apart so I guess the solution was found and its something else.

I can only guess the MMS fix fixes the OUTGOING messages. Incomming messages are resized if your operator (eg. O2 UK for me) doesn't recognise your phone. Gingerbread probably changed the string.

Look for modifying the user agent string in the MMS app and change it to something like the Nokia N95. You'll find the string on Google somewhere.

so i got one of my friend to pull this out of the stock fascinate firmware.Its a really nice live wallpaper of water with ripples and coral underneath it. The weird problem is i just cant seem to get it to work no matter what i do. If i install it by clicking on it, it FC's when i try to apply it. If i use root explorer to drag it into /system/app and then set it...it STILL fc's. Anyone have any ideas as to WHY this wouldnt work? File attached any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

EDIT: It turns out that the wallpaper version that I received was from the one existing 2.3.3 leak for the fascinate. so that shouldnt be a problem. yet it still forece crashes to matter what i do.

[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
Hey, just a quick question. How can I get ad blocking back on this rom... tried different host files with no luck. Any help will be great. I'm running MIUI FascinateMTD 1.7.15 w/ Glitch 11.1
[Fascinate Android Development] GoBruins:
have you tried ad blocker on android market?
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
Yea, no go
[Fascinate Android Development] calebv2:
ad blocker seems to work for me what app is it not working in??
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
I use wireless tethering and theoretically the ad blocking should carry over into what I do on my PC but its not.
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
No it shouldn't, that's not how host files work. Host files is for local (i.e. that specific machine) lookup only, before it asks a remote DNS server. Your tethered computer will never go anywhere near your phone's host file.

If you want to block ads on the tethered computer, you could always block the ads in that computer's host file. Or use AdBlock in the browser. Or find some way to manually configure the phone's iptables install to drop those connections/reroute them (an overly complicated "solution").
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
Thanks! Ended up just doing a Firefox Add-on
[Fascinate Android Development] piiman:
Same here ad blocker acts like it works (installing new host) but I still have ads everywhere. :(
[Fascinate Android Development] Mystique:
AdFree App... Hidden in the words

After you update your hosts file the app CLEARLY says..

Your Android device should now be AdFree, however you might need to reboot to clear your DNS cache.

..

Judging by the 15k 5 star reviews.. you might be missing something..

:P
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
Actually, I did see that and then reboot. Still, no change. As far as what I was wanting to achieve, I am good to go now with the FireFox Add-On. Thanks anyways.
[Fascinate Android Development] piiman:
Like what? :confused: It used to work but on this ROM it isn't for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
Exactly how is it not working? What makes you say that? More information might help us track down any issue you're having.

Those things won't block all ads, because it only blacklists certain domains. Any ads built directly into the app (i.e. that the app doesn't have to fetch from a remote server) won't be blocked. Ads from smaller ad networks might also not be blocked, as well as many ads on websites (often blacklisting based on the host file can't block the ad without also blocking legit content).
[Fascinate Android Development] _RTFM_:
I'm running the same setup (MIUI MTD 1.7.15 w/ Glitch 11.1) and my wireless tether will connect, but not pass any data. What radio are you using?
[Fascinate Android Development] stephencapes:
The native hotspot doesn't work. I'm running Wireless Tether 3.0 beta... once installed you will need to go into the apps settings and change the profile from Auto to Fascinate.... For some reason there is still a unresolved issue with utilizing the AP over Ad-Hoc. So you have to stick with Ad-hoc.
[Fascinate Android Development] piiman:
Like ALL the ads that used to be blocked are not blocked any more.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crebu:
So I had Cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC1 flashed on my phone and working fine. Then one day it was all frozen up and wouldn't boot or do anything. So I decided to use Clockworkmod (3.0.2.4) to restore to an old backup I have of Cyanogen 7.0.3. It came up with a silly error saying it could not format /cache, but everything else worked so I shrugged it off and rebooted. Cyanogen 7.0.3 loaded fine, but I could not download apps from the marketplace. (They would never "start" - I even tried installing the new marketplace update). So then I decided to restore the SAME backup again, with the same error, and after struggling I tried restoring to a backup I have of the stock rom. Which worked. Magically. No errors. So then, being stupid and unsatisfied I reflashed the Cyanogen 7.0.3 backup again. This time it said "error while formatting /system!" And now I've been stuck trying to figure out how to fix this error.

I can still boot into ClockworkMod, so I assume my phone is not bricked. I've read that updating to ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5 may actually fix my problem, but I can't seem for the life of me to find a tutorial that can tell me how to flash a new recovery image on the MT4G without Rom Manager (since I can't boot a rom, I can't open rom manager).

Thank you for your time, any help is appreciated. (I also apologize upfront if this error has been reported and solved before, I can't seem to find it though.)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Sorry, but your phone is bricked. Those errors indicate that your eMMC chip has failed. Your only hope is to flash the PD15IMG.zip file from the bootloader. That will unroot your phone and flash the stock ROM. It's unlikely to work, however. Some people will swear up and down that eMMC failure doesn't brick the phone, but I have yet to see anyone save their device once those errors appear in recovery mode.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crebu:
Thanks for you quick response. I am going to try what you suggested and update what happens.

Do you know what may cause this error? So I can avoid it in the future. Granted, I may not have a phone for a while now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Some MT4G's have a different brand of eMMC chip that is prone to failure after the phone has been rooted. See this thread for a little more info.

Make sure you flash the correct PD15IMG.zip file. Any file flashed in the bootloader has to be named that, so a search could easily turn up a radio. Search the dev section for the stock TMOUS RUU. It will be around ~328MB in size (roughly).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
Not every "can't open /cache/recovery/log" error means your eMMC is dead. My phone gave that error after a bad ROM flash. Flashing PD15IMG.zip in hboot fixed it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crebu:
When I try to use Clockwork to update from the zip I get the error

E:Can't open /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

Maybe I don't understand the correct procedure for flashing a PD15IMG.zip file?

**EDIT** I'm dumb, I had to boot into the bootloader. Hehe.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
In my earlier post I said to flash in the bootloader. Put the file in the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader, and it will ask you if you want to flash the file.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crebu:
Thank you so, so much.

What you suggested absolutely worked. I'm not back to the stock rom working seemingly perfectly. Does this mean I don't have a bad eMMC chip? Would it be safe to continue flashing custom ROMS?

Thanks again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crebu:
Thank you so, so much.

Thanks again.

Edit: changed "not" to "now". Quite a misleading typo.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Haha, yeah it was! I'm glad your phone is not (now) working. :p As far as where to go from here, find out what eMMC you have. The thread I linked to has ADB instructions in the OP, and there are instructions to run commands via a terminal emulator throughout the thread. If you have the "good" eMMC, there's no reason you can't re-root and start over. Because of the errors you got in recovery, I'm afraid you have the "bad" eMMC in which case rooting is risky. Essentially, once you've rooted a phone with the bad chip, it's only matter of time until it fails and the phone is bricked. It could be a few days, few months, or few years, but the evidence shows it likely eventually will. Good luck!

From my experience, using android apps like ezPDF Reader or Repligo Reader, the issue is not visibility - which is good IMO, but scrolling, which is laggy and not precise.

OK MAKE THAT SORTA PERM UNLESS U PULL THE BATTERY...LOL

Recently i posted a thread where i was able quite by chance to shut down and restart my temp rooted evo 3d quite by accident. I have experimented with this method and it is stable, dependable and works, i do not loose root when i power off, and power back up.

Its as simple as this on my temp rooted evo 3d, hit the power button to get the shut down choices window, i choose power off (shut down) and as the evo starts to shut down and the screens start to change i hit the power button a few times, the evo powers completly off.. And i power it back on, and it boots up and has root as confirmed by titanium backup and cpu master.

Thats it folks... My evo 3d does it ! Wether yours will..i dont know..

It may ulitmatly depend on how you rooted it..not sure..
