[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heddkandi:
Hi all,

I'm trying to find an external keyboard for my rooted, CM7 Optimus T for under $50. It doesn't matter if it's USB or bluetooth keyboard as long as the phone is propped up when typing on the keyboard (an integrated dock would be nice). If you guys have any ideas let me know.

Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnappi1978:
I've never thought of an external keyboard for you're/a phone.Isn't enough the touchscreen keyboard?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heddkandi:
I feel like I could type much faster with an external keyboard compared to on-screen keyboard. Plus, the on-screen keyboard that I'm using is a swype-like keyboard so it would be nice if I have a letter-by-letter tactile keyboard as an alternative.

I'm using CM7 2.3.4 (mik_os) and from what I've gathered it could run the standard-fare HID bluetooth keyboard (please correct me if I'm wrong), so I bought one of them off Amazon for $17 (after looking up "mini blueetooth keyboard"). It'll arrive in 2 days so we'll see. Any app that I need to install to configure the keyboard more easily? (I've heard many bluetooth keyboards don't have Android instructions).

The other thing I would like is to prop up the phone when I type so I'll probably need some sort of a kick stand or a dock. Any suggestions? I've came across the iGo Stowaway which is a foldable keyboard/stand - a perfect solution but very expensive so I would like a cheaper alternative for a stand after purchasing the keyboard.

Thanks.

Bluetooth keyboard

Hi, I bought a bluetooth keyboard from ebay for around $20 and got it working on cm7 with a program called BlueInput from the market.

Has worked flawlessly evertime for several months.:)
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givetake:
get an app called WiFi Keyboard on the android market for free.

It works great and can turn any networked computer's keyboard into a keyboard for your android
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawaiiDango:
search at ebay. there are good bluetooth keyboards and u need to install a driver to make it work, which the manufacturer provides
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] sambastrakan:
Hi all

Well, I'm trying to understand what happens to the status bar height :

- in dimens.xml from framework-res.apk, default height is set at 25dip

- in reality the status bar is 19pix height (which is not good for icons appearance)

- I have standard lcd density set to 120 and don't want to modify this setting

- when I set status bar height at 31dip then I have 23pix in reality, so it doesn't seems that there is a linear relation with lcd density ( I should have 24pix instead). perhaps there is a constraint somewhere ... but where ?

Someone knows how this works ???

thanks !
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] sambastrakan:
Response is here :

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html#statusbarstructure

So dimens.xml sets 25 height for mdpi ...and as we are in ldpi it's 19 ...

So we have to make 19x19 icons to make them have a good looking ! so small ...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] sambastrakan:
I do ! but not with the good keyword ...

So after posting I thought in an other way ...

Thanks for your explication anyway !

My transformer stand by button doesn't work all the time. Some time my finger literally hurts from applying the button.. Any suggestions
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ISSMER:
If you are rooted, install setcpu and create a profile for screen off and set the min to something in the middle 300's.

You could also verify you don't have a bunch of apps running.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
I don't have that problem with mine. I just look at it and it wakes... maybe your button is broken?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] singlo9:
I had the same problem with my first TF. After researching for a while, realized that it's the button. Returned it and got a new one. No problem with this one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wis38:
Same problem for me.

At the beginning I was thinking about a feature to avoid unaccidental power-on, then realized it is a bug (it got harder and harder, and after 40 days it ended up completely broken).

Just changed with a new one (thanks, Amazon): on/off button works like a charm on the new one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I don't have a problem, but on a cold start there is a delay from pushing the button and something coming up on the display.

What I do is hold the button and count to 3 or 4. Then let go of the button. Within 5-10 seconds the information starts appearing on the screen.

When the unit is sleeping, it only takes a 1 second or less push of the button to get the screen back up.

I have tried to set the maximum number of texts starting at 300 then i set it to 400 and my messages never auto deleted. I have a couple of contacts now with over 500 text messages not including mms and they still wont auto delete. I have tried deleting a couple hundred manually and setting the limit to 300 again but again they don't auto delete. Anybody else with the same problem? Thinking about doing a factory reset but dont know if it will fix the problem.:confused::confused::confused::confused:

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 right click superoneclick run as administrator 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 damage to your device
[LG Optimus 3D] danbst:
Might be a good place to share what Tegra games are confirmed working.

I've tried Pinball and Bang Bang Racing. Pinball as smooth as a greased eel. With Bang Bang I got an error message telling me my phone didn't meet the minimum requirements. I know there are a few tweaks you can do with Chainfire so I'm wondering if there is a specific setting that might get this running?

Share the love folks. :D
[LG Optimus 3D] exceleth:
I tested Samurai II, Pinball, Galaxy On Fire and Guerilla Bob, they all work fine after a very short freeze at the startup. After the startup, they all do great.
[LG Optimus 3D] joker20:
THX!! all games works fine for me too.
[LG Optimus 3D] forza72:
some tegra games are very slow

on my device some game is very slow, like galaxy on fire and others. for example samurai ii run very nice but there are any other games very very slow. i don't have installed performance pack yet. can depend from this?

have you any suggestion please help me :D
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
pre-app openGL settings > click on galaxy on fire > reduce texture size

also select use plugin > nvidia
[LG Optimus 3D] forza72:
tx for your support!!! you are the one!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] WvanWaas:
At this moment working: Dungeon Defender, Arma II: Firing Range both working perfectly

Is any other method to root my LGOP3D?

For me also it isn't working :)
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
It WILL work if you follow the instructions correctly. Make sure you do everything exactly as specified.
[LG Optimus 3D] borgqueenx:
where are the drivers? windows failed to install the drivers.
[LG Optimus 3D] blackbeans:
Go to LG website for your regional. Downloading the LG Update tool. Installing it and run, you will find the USB driver button. Downloading the driver and plugin your O3D for complete driver installation. Then try super1click v1.9.5 again. All would be fine.

Hope this help.
[LG Optimus 3D] Komodo Rogue:
Argh! :mad: I'm thwarted before even reaching step #1!

Seriously though, thanks for the nice write up: I'm sure it will help lots of noobs like me, and help keep this board clear of clutter (1,000 "how do i root" threads) :)

And equally seriously, I'm thwarted!... for tonight anyway. I don't have access to a windows computer, just my Mac. I'll be able to borrow one tomorrow but I just bought a thrill this evening and I'm hoping to start setting it up tonight, but I need root!

Do you or anyone else on this thread know if the windows software can be substitutd for anything else, or know of any alternate method to obtain root? Is it plausible that perhaps gingerbreak (I know the optimus 3D/thrill is running froyo, but the gingerbreak author said that it's plausible that other versions may work too), and maybe some terminal emulator voodoo could do the trick, like I've seen on other devices?

Thanks! Sorry if this should just be a thread of its own in the general section or something, I don't mean to derail.

EDIT: AN EASY WAY TO ROOT ON MAC/LINUX:

1. On this thread, download the zip at the bottom of the post and download the .zip file. Thanks to jnichols959

2. Follow his (jnichols959) directions:

He said you don't need ADB, so that's probably true for Thrill 4g / optimus 3d too, but I DO have ADB on my computer and it just worked for me, so if you don't have it and it doesn't work, maybe download the android sdk... don't see why it would hurt, at least.

OP: Hey sorry again dude, I should have just made a separate thread. Feel free to include any of this info in your first post, if you want.
[LG Optimus 3D] boc_est1986:
i'm on my second 3d, i bricked the frst one, and this process worked the first time but now chainfire3d cant find the plugin on my sd card. I've tried the internal sd card, external and put copies of it in every folder but for some reason it wont find it. Any ideas?

ive also downloaded the tegra market app (or however it is called) and when i select an app to download, the android market is opened, the corresponding app is shown, but it displays a message that says that this app is not supported by my phone.

anyone who has the same problem?

[LG Optimus 3D] Stinner:
Yea mines is also an unbranded from phones 4 u, but works if downloaded from an external sources then installed yea?
[LG Optimus 3D] MadCobbler:
I've got the Tegra Zone App working just can't do much else with it, because when I click on a game I just get a black screen. But I can see all tegra games in market and download them too. All I did was follow instructions in OP and everything worked.

Edit: was just about to uninstall the Tegra Zone App when I noticed an update for it, once I'd updated, it all works perfectly now...
[LG Optimus 3D] felikz:
what do you mean by external sources? which one?
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
google the apk you will find some
[LG Optimus 3D] felikz:
ah now i know whatcha talkin bout ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] boc_est1986:
there is a zip file on 4shared called chainfire 3d and plugins. Used this and it worked a treat. Only issue is i fixed the market permissions, several times, but when i click on a game in tegra zone it loads the market and then says 'the requested item cannot be found' this happens for all games
[LG Optimus 3D] Stinner:
Yea same sorta thing for me, if I do it threw tegra app I can see them but no download button, sadly until chainfire can fix the UK app market were gonna have to just goggle the files :(
[LG Optimus 3D] deadlyheart4u:
good one, i got tegra working. thanks a lot dear
[LG Optimus 3D] vhd99:

[LG Optimus 3D] rgunara:
did anybody try Shadowgun. It loads fine for me but after the opening story scene it crashes.
[LG Optimus 3D] jimakos29:
works fine. if you have tegra version you need chainfire with nvidia plugin and "disable map buffer emu" and "reduce texture size" checked... if you have no tegra version from where you got the tegra version (you know what i mean, no official version for our phone yet so i take it you have a cracked one as i do) you still need chainfire but no plugin and only "reduce texture size" checked otherwise you run out of memory (hey maybe 512mb are very few after all...).

now what is the gain you may ask of having the non tegra version if you still need chainfire. well it loads a lot faster without the tegra plugin... enjoy man it is a really nice game
[LG Optimus 3D] rgunara:
yeah, i think i have the tegra version and it worked if i check the reduce texture quality option. it looks very good but i wanted to see how it would look without reducing quality etc. I know the optimus 2x can run it (since it is a tegra device) and it also has 512 MB RAM, so i would think memory shouldn't be the issue but in non tegra devices it might.
[LG Optimus 3D] ananth010:
Hi,

Can you please tell me which method is safe to root? I'm new to android and I'm afraid I might brick my Lg optimus 3d... Its on V10K firmware... I so badly want to play Shadow gun:-( Any help much appreciated.

Yes i mean scared oddysey. With tegra i get fc, and with other version i have black screen. Ask gameloft if they release a 3D version, they don't know :D

[LG Optimus 3D] techtechnique:
I'm a bit confused about this so maybe someone could help me get my head round it!

None of the games that this is supposed to help to work on the O3D could be found in the Store and the one game I was hoping that would work will download but not run- Beach Buggy Blitz. I'm using the Pro version of the app and done the Market fix.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

[LG Optimus 3D] nico_l:
Try some options within Chainfire. There's a pretty good help with the program. And for the Market - it's sometimes not working due to the version of market you have installed. Try an older one.

If you provide a link for the program you try a can check also.

Hi all, just bought a streak 5 and just joined the forum, my stupid question is about rooting. I previously had and have a n900 and just want to run maemo/ meego or ubuntu on this streak , is rooting just like having the x-terminal on the n900 where I can get in and fek around? Also there appears to be a few ways to root ,whats the best or do I just get a terminal from..android market. Finally anyone running meego on a streak_ cos to be fair it was a bit buggy and limited on the n900. Sorry for being so dense

Probably a very stupid question, but can't seem to access the thread for NetFlix App.

Okay, I'm quite sure this is an utterly stupid question, but I've dug around in the FAQ's and the general forums and can't see an answer so I'm going to risk being flamed as a noob to ask. When I try loading the link (above) for the Netflix app, I consistently get a message that I do not have permission to access the page, and that new users (with under 10 posts) aren't permitted to POST to the Devel forums.

I'm not trying to post - just to access the thread, and since it says "To encourage this new Users can read but not post in these forums." I assume that I should be able to view the thread. Am I missing something incredibly stupid and obvious, or doing something wrong, or is it just that you're unable to even view anything in the development-related forums until you have more than 10 posts?

Thanks to anyone who is kind enough to reply and open my eyes on this. If you really want to flame me for being a noob feel free, but it won't bother me any. I know my status, and my limits.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parabola949:
Actually, before you just dive in - one thing. It is recommended (highly) that you use CWM 3.1.0.1 or higher to flash SRF 1.2. ACS Updater uses the recovery in your kernel. If you are using Twilight Zone (any), then it does not have CWM 3.1, so if you experience any problems, that may be the issue. SRF 1.2 will flash sometimes on older versions of CWM, but it has been known to cause problems. Just keep that in mind.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrEpic:
Interesting

I believe that is exactly what happened..i installed sfr 1.2 the ol fashion way...and changed kernel to genocide from vision...and upgraded from orange to purple..and now..acs updater is working fine...i am highly excited for the team did a great job with this for this is going to be and is very huge 4 the community!!
