I put 3.0.0.8 on my phone to try out cm7 but I now want to go back to my deodexed froyo based rom and stuck in boot loops. can someone please direct me to a 2.0.5.0 (or something in that range) clockwork recovery.

Rom Manager only goes back to 3.0.0.5...What good is that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
http://www.dougpiston.com should have a 2.5 Inc recovery.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hand76:
Thanks soooo much guys back up and running but the only 2+ version I found was 2.5.1.2 which works but takes like 10+ minutes to do a nandroid restore. (Just googled and see others said the same for 2.5.1.1 & 2.5.1.2)

If anyone knows where I can get another 2+ version (like 2.5.0.5) I would be greatly appreciative.

Surprised Koush doesnt have a database of all the old clockwork recoveries.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
He does. I unfortunately forgot to bookmark the link! Keep searching though, its out there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hand76:
Well after searching for about 45 minutes I finally found a 2.5.0.5 clockwork recovery hosted on some obscure site.

I can't tell you how dissapointeed I am right now in clockwork/Kosh.

First off how do you not give the user a warning that updating clockwork will lead to many basic roms you have saved not restoring correctly?

Second is any version of clockwork recovery should be able to backup/restore any rom.

Third how do you not make older clockwork recoveries easily available to the user? Rom Manger only lets you revert back to 3.0.0.5...Are you kidding? What good will that do most people with a non cm7 or gingerbread type rom? Even searching all of Koch site and his Gitrub I could not find any old clockwork recoveries anywhere.

Just a bad job all around on this one.

I am new to the flashing rom thing.

Well what happened was....I thought was flashing the viper rom, and I had to use my recovery to unscrew what I didy. Can someone give a short tutorial on flashing roms? I am not a complete **** nugget btw haha.

I loaded the zip file on my SDcard and used the TWRP to flash from zip. Was that wrong?

install error with teamwin recovery.

e:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(status 1)

That is what i got. I read that binary thing was not the updated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mahgninnuc93:
Hey folks. Using the OTA for rooted phones. My.GPS doesn't lock for ****.

The only.time I get a decent lock.OS when using the navigation and the it seems to take forever. Any suggestions on how to remedy this.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Are you running the updated baseband?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
Updated baseband and bad gps

I have CM7 and the updated baseband and just went for a run and was not able to get runkeeper to pick up my location until the end. I just tried bloater again, I'll let you know if that fixes things.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sambodie:
I experienced the same thing when I came from EB 2.3.3. Went to ROM Manager and used Fix Permissions. Seemed to lock much quicker after that, don't know why.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] autotomy:
Hi Ace-ers

I appeared to have lags on stock Froyo on my Ace with increasing number of data logs, apps, etc so I wanna try some custom ROMs using Odin via PC.

Question that really bother me is, I often had power outage in my city, esp. suburbs. Does anybody had experienced power outage when trying to flash using Odin/PC (not flashable zip via CWM)? What happen, will the Ace got bricked if it does?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jun Hong:
ur phone does brick if there is electric outage. if it happens try reflashing it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
It won't matter. I pulled my phone out while the flashing is going on. Could still boot to download mode and flash normally.

Flashing takes 3 minutes normally for me. You should get it done unless you're really unlucky. :) cheers.

XDA ♥
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jekle_Ace:
What about a Laptop?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

Dont worry, the FLASHING takes about 5 min. not more(hope that in this time, there will be NO power outage).

CHEERS! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] autotomy:
Thanks all for the replies.

I see, it'll got bricked so I'll be very careful not to take risks with it.

Ah, if it's at least still be able to get to the download mode then it's relieving! :)

More relieving if the recovery mode is still there.

3 mins? that's fast :confused: I spent 5 just to flash CWM 3

Actually I could use a laptop but it's in my office and I have to wait until Monday but it's alright. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
The only way it can truely brick your phone if it goes out when flashing bootloaders. But that takes like two seconds so you would be extremely unlucky if there is a power outage then;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Dude's right on that. It's only really bricked if the bootloader is damaged. Like, if you flash the recovery from another phone, you will definitely brick your ace.

XDA ♥
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] autotomy:
Is Ace's bootloader flashable? Is there any available somewhere on XDA? I might getting ambiguity here, bootloaders != kernels, right?

Anyway, I forced myself and just got FirstUA-ROM v1.1 since a couple of days ago.

(hooray :D)

Wasn't so scary as I thought, and yes it's only around 5-7 mins :D

Flashed it on afternoon when the outage is more seldom.

Thanks y'all.

How does this work as a laptop replacement in a school environment? Taking notes, web experience, etc. I'm looking to replace my laptop for at school.

How does it do rendering blackboard ?

Any help would be appreciated I might pick one up tomorrow with the keyboard. Is it responsive to type documents on?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LanEvo:
As a direct laptop/desktop replacement, I do not believe it will do that. However, if you are looking for something that is light, takes notes with a stylus, web surfing, movies, music, etc... Then it would be perfect. I am a college student, and have used an iPad and now this for school, and it fits perfectly into my daily life.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LanEvo:
With the keyboard dock, this thing would seriously be a netbook type device, so typing on one I would not know. I use the Transformer by itself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boglwe:
Hmmmm, I have found the best solution for my studies (masters in education) was a touchscreen laptop like the fujitsu lifebook using OneNote. I have the keyboard dock for the transformer and I simply love it. I am currently forcing myself to use this instead of my lifebook simply to see the abilities of this in the classroom. This machine falls a bit short of being the perfect companion, thats pretty good. No OneNOTE, but with printershare that makes up for it a bit.

The lightness of it is huge ofcourse, its sturdy as well. Internet is less cumberson than on a windows based machine. There are several apps that can be used for office, or you could use google Docs. Also, once rooted, you can download any file type and with the USB ports on the dock you will be able to move files at your whim.

ON THE OTHER HAND... (And this point just came to me as I was typing this) I have not used my laptop since I purchased this machine a few weeks ago and currently about to finish my last class. So maybe it is a good solution.

Give me sme real world applications (how you want to use it) and maybe I can give you some suggestions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domin8:
thanks in advance you are really helping me out. Well some apps i'd like to use would be:

-an office-like application to edit/compose word docs or essays.

-view pdf files

-i have used evernote in the past, but i also like using powerpoint to take notes in the notes pane under slides....(i think with google docs i can toggle speaker notes which may solve this issue)

-another thing on taking notes, can u insert bulleted lists/ numbered lists/ indents to keep notes organized on any notetaking software for the transformer?

-as far as music goes, how does it handle multitasking with music. FOr example, playing audio in the background while i study.

-ease of copying/pasting.

I am thinking it may just suffice and have that 'wow' factor too. I do have a desktop at home, so for anything real intensive i am sure i could use that (which i have been neglecting lately).

Im familiar with rooting/flashing devices as i've come from a captivate and now use a atrix. I feel like im rambling, but the more i type the more it sounds like a viable solution for taking notes in class.

one last thing, i have seen a few threads about some keyboard lag...is this a serious issue? is there a fix? I saw that there are several iterations of the keyboard, is there one i should try and get when i go shopping over others?

i just dont want to have to wait for the keyboard to catch up if i'm taking notes in evernote.

I think i may just pick it up tomorrow and try it out for a few weeks since school isnt until august 29th...but i could use any insight on it i could get!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
August 29th... semester system?

I've not used it to take notes yet (summer research), but for school life, entertainment-wise, since I've had it, I haven't used my laptop much for anything other than the occasional Netflix (and I've stopped since I finished BSG :D).

I'm using my laptop right now to play some game, but really, the TF has almost replaced everything I need it. The typing lag does kind of suck so if you're some kind of student with a major that will require lots of typing..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domin8:
how bad is the typing lag? i dont do a TON of typing, but i am taking an online class so i may need to type into a forum style system box to submit.

edit:

i see that it is only an issue with SOME apps? have you used thinkfree office?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LanEvo:
It is not too bad but not like iPad fast either,it lags but catches up easily on everything you type.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
It catches up for short typing sessions. When I typed up a document for my parents, it was really noticeable in a bad way though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boglwe:
The keyboard lag is NOT all the time; I mostly see it in the browsers and its actually rare but when it happens, you know it. A few things to note regarding using this machine for serious work...First there are several apps that can be used for Office (documents to go, and polaris, that latter comes with the machine, but I have yet to find one that has auto-save, and that can be scary when writing those long papers. If the machine is rooted you can copy paste ANYTHING, without root, its kind of a hit and miss.

You can play music in the background, so no worries there. most music apps attach to your task bar in any ways.

The way I find myself using this device many times in in conjuction with my own desktop now or at the school library computers and have this next to me at all times. It is an amazing resource to share information point blank with peeps and youself. There is also a thread somewhere here talkin about a Onenote alternative for android using a stylus, I have yet to try one of these apps.

PDF files are easy enough, here are tons off apps to do this.

Something else to remember is that these pads are getting TONS of attention right now from all kind of devs and apps are being made DAILY, its really just a matter of time for an app to show up to do EXACTLY what you need. IMHO
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
Yeah, he's totally right about the apps showing up. Now... all I need is... STRATEGY RPG LIKE FINAL FANTASY TACTICS! (Who's up for making/porting one?)

Anyway, I like my TF for what I've used it for so far. Just grab one and try it, and return it if it doesn't work for you ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
wish i'd of read this post before I spent 10 min typing mine up... I suck at making things compact, lol.

To the dude asking about rpg games. You absolutely HAVE to buy battleheart RIGHT NOW. It's not ff but it is an amazing rpg game and hands down the best you will ever find for android. (I haven't played them all so I really can't say that, but it is freaking awesome.)

Best of luck to you OP.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SparkyRih:
I'm used to use a 15" HP ProBook at school, but I do feel that my transformer can replace it...

But I guess I have an advantage as IT Professional, I run some servers at home (one of them has serveral types ov VPN on it, in case one is blocked by any firewalls), so I can access my desktops, and just use Office 2010 or Sony Vegas on a Core I7 (video editing), there is pretty much no limit for me...

But even if I was not able to make it this easy for me... I really love the Android OS, and it grows so fast in a short period of time... I wonder where it is in another 5 years... If Android goes on liek this, I think it will replace Windows (for regular users, not for companies)...

When I go back to college in 4 weeks (:)), I'll leave my laptop at home for the first week to see if I miss it for my everyday tasks...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snaai8:
I've used it for school and managing my work.

As a photographer it is needed that I have seemless integration of the sd card slot and a good device to support it, the transformer can handle it with ease!

The polaris office (or whatever its called) lets you make documents, excel sheets and powerpoint.

With a good stylus you would be able to take notes in like drawfree for example.

It handles music quite fine as it lets you multitask between apps and music.

And while Im doing all of this I can still get in touch with my friends because of the social part of the transformer that updates my status once in awhile ! ^-^

Its not a full fledged netbook but a nice replacement so far!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
Already exists, playstation one emulator or gba emulator. They redid fft on gba.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megamouth2:
I use it for uni, and it seems to function quite well.

As a notetaking tool in lectures, it works fantastically, and it's so much better than lugging my Dell laptop around with me all day, which would just be a pain. If you've not got the dock or a bluetooth keyboard, it might be a bit of a hassle- I found that on the touch screen keyboard, hurriedly jotting down notes meant that I had to constantly backspace to correct formatting, punctuation, or spelling mistakes.

Polaris Office also tends to be a bit weird with me, though- sometimes files that I make on the transformer refuse to open using Microsoft Word on my computer, and vice versa. If you're doing a project with heavy formatting, you should probably stick to your desktop as Polaris tends to screw all that up for me.

It renders BlackBoard very quickly, and is great if you want to sneak a peek at a document that a teacher has uploaded there.

I'd say that you shouldn't use it as an all out replacement for your laptop where all school work is concerned- but as a device to take notes on, get quick snippets of information on, and access the web, it's perfect. Plus it helps that I can play Angry Birds if a lecture gets especially boring...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poltak11:
My semester just started again last week and I've been trying the TF (with dock) out as a netbook replacement for a week now.

I've been using freenotes to take notes in lectures and it's worked wonderfully. The built in email/gmail apps have worked wonderfully for email use and I use Dolphin for web-browsing and it's all been a real delight to use. Reads pdfs fine and I've got all my textbooks on internal storage (best thing ever).

The only annoying thing is coding on it. Doing a few Java projects this semester and as I'm still getting to terms with this language, I like to be using a full IDE for auto-correction etc. Anyway, I've been using vi via the terminal and this has been fine so far for code editing.

So yeah, after a week it's proved to be a pretty nice netbook alternative. Plus everything's nice and speedy unlike my clunky atom based netbook, plus it doesn't run hot on my lap and I've got no fans blaring constantly. Best thing about ARM from an end-user point-of-view :P

EDIT: I've also purchased a stylus for my TF last week, so I'm going to see how that goes for taking quick notes during lectures on my TF. Will report back if it's any good or if the keyboard is easier.

If you're looking for a more "desktop"-like experience, install Ubuntu on the internal storage. It's working wonderfully now (apart from a few small things) and you've pretty much got a full x86 laptop replacement in a nice lightweight ARM tablet.

this is why i love XDA, you guys have really answered all of my questions thoroughly! I am going to try and use that staples coupon that's floating around since it expires today and pick one up :) thanks so so so much guys, I plan on sticking around the transformer forums just as much as i do the atrix forums now :cool:

so it works! im glad i found this. this was my original plan to buy a tablet of some sort tablet with a dock (atrix with lapdock was my failed attempt) cuz i dont plan to carry my 17 inch laptop around. lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RRtexasranger:
This is what I plan on using my TF (I'm getting it Aug 2nd in the mail). I already have a gaming PC rig that I'll be taking to college, but I want something alot more portable so that I have an option of writing my first draft papers on the at night on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial (My university is in DC) or in just a random coffee shop or something. I just don't want to be tied to my desktop 24/7.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domin8:
Got it! So far i love it. All of the local stores were sold out of the docking station so i'm going to order one on amazon (its 149 vs 199 in stores) so i should have that soon. is that the best place to order one from online?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinjuxtapose:
I have a 15 inch Dell XPS and I specifically bought my transformer to use during the school year so I didn't have to lug this thing around (and the power brick)... I'm really excited about it. I work a lot, and I'm involved in a number of organizations, and I'm taking 16 credit hours - so what I LOVE about the transformer is the battery life. I can throw this 3 pound 'netbook' in to my bag and it lasts me all day. Super convenient. The keyboard is one of the best I've ever typed on at that size. I'm not a fan of netbook keyboards (I've used Dell and HP netbooks before and had a lot of trouble typing), but this keyboard dock blew me away.

I use Evernote and Polaris Office and they both work great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bboyle:
My school days are long past me. I use the TF daily for taking note at work. There are a number of notebook apps available the allow you to use a stylus. THe best in my opinion is Tabnotes. Can be found on the market. In my daily work I need to jot notes on projects pretty much the same as when I was in school and a tablet work great and is easier to tote around.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xencer:
I have a pretty heavy dell laptop, carrying that with 2 textbooks across campus is almost painful. What I really want it:

1. Android, I love android period and I've been wanting a tablet now to so I can basically a portable media device. My laptop never leaves my room anymore, its 15" and is honestly not portable, and I only have an extended battery for it.

2. Good note taking alternative to pen and paper.... And I type about 80+ wpm so if there's keyboard lag that is very noticeable I might skip over this :/

3. Android gamez!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgitswes:
This is pretty much the main reason why I switched my Thrive for the TF. I need teh keyboard dock for takign notes in class. I just need to find a nice office app

Check out thinkfree office for tablets, its 10 dollars but I bought and tried it out yesterday and I prefer it to Polaris at this point
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
Checked the market, thinkfree is 15 bucks now. I'm thinking abut just using evernote. Then all my files will be sync'd to my online account automatically. I guess u can't be making all these paragraph and font formats but I think just getting the text easily is the most important haha
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Copy paste! Evernote then just edit them on a computer with Office. haha im set.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
Yup, exactly what I was thinking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earlyberd:
Just wanted to say that with the new Android 3.2 update, Polaris has been updated as well. You can now copy/paste from other applications, and I am able to open the new Office 2007 formats with ease, although it will only save as Office 2003. Formatting of the documents seems to be preserved pretty well. PDF viewing is decent, but my favorite is still ezPDF Reader.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirSid:
Ive been using it attatched to its dock as a replacement for my laptop and I've been pretty successful with the exception of a certain crappy website my school uses for physics homework. It wont render the page right and let me answer questions.

As for taking notes, I use evernote for typed notes and if the professors release pdf lecture notes before class I write on those directly using ezpdf and a stylus i got on ebay.

Im really happy with it. I also think much of the keyboard lag has been cleared up in the last update. I havnt noticed it since anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawliet:
I highly doubt this device can replace a laptop entirely. It will suffice for a portable note-taking, entertainment or surfing device if you find your desktop/laptop at home too bulky.

I'm planning to use this to bring to college and leave my 15.6" laptop at home when the next academic year starts.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
Couldn't agree with u more. I will ALWAYS have a desktop computer at home. And when I really wanna do some hard computer work it will be on a desktop. No matter how comfortable I get with honeycomb or my g2 android just can't replace my desktop. Honestly though, since I've gotten the tf I don't go on the desktop to surf the net at all. But to organize photobucket, sell stuff on craigslist, buy stuff from ebay or do some real studying I just need the desktop. I've had a computer since I got my first 486 @ 33mhz lol. Just can't jump ship now, maybe sometime down the road if android improves more, but not right now for sure.
