The touchscreen on my TouchPro just died on me, so I had to set "Windows Default" as my homescreen, which works okey as my hardkeys are working alright. However, I'm unable to send SMS messages etc. as I can't use the softkeys anymore.

Is it possible to assing the left and right softkeys to my hardkeys instead?

Thanks for your time
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] khals:
A friendly soul suggested I'd use AEButton, which works just great! I managed to remap the softkeys to my volume keys, finaly being able to respons/send text messages again :)

Hi peeps

Bump, I'm also interested in upgrading to Alien vers. 4.

I currently have gingerblur 3.5 and been away from the Atrix scene for a long time, so I'm a little outdated.

Could someone quickly sum up the steps to upgrade to Alien 4?

Thank you
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NguyenHuu:
the main difference is that gingerBLUR is a puesdo rom, it has mods and a theme to look like gingerbread. The gingerbread rom is actually the real deal. so pretty much what you should be comparing is froyo to gingerbread and see if there are 'must haves' that you want
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KaylordTheuZ:
Hi all gurus,

please forgive the noobiness but the task is quite urgent and actually, since I'm a new, noob user, I can't post in the dev section.

Well... my need was to install a fixed wpa_supplicant on a stock WW ROM in order to manage ad hoc wifi connections. In order to do so, I tried the Pure Root script (APK mode correctly up & running)

Did as follows:

- I did a complete backup of both boot.img and recovery.img from my stock Transformer using the "Backup current Boot.img and/or Recovery.img" option ; everything went fine... but under the directory /images/backup I can't see any file :confused:

- i tried to install a root WW using the first option of the script; I choose to install recovery too (CWM?). Everything fine; I rebooted the tablet but Root Explorer tells me I'm not root ... Am I missing something?

(tried then to install the modified wpa_supplicant via CWM... but again, installation done with success, reboot -> no ad-hoc connection management :mad:)

I decided then to revert back to the original Asus stock version (option 4: " Install Stock ww Boot.img and/or Recovery.img").

Everything goes fine and actually I thing now I'm running with the stock worldwide version... But there's a thing I don't understand: I tried to boot in recovery mode to verify that CWM is not present anymore: so pressing ON + volume down, this is what I see:

"Android ww_epad-user bootloader ( e) released by "WW_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711"

Checking for android ota recovery

Checking for RCK... Press key <VOL_UP> in 5 sec to enter RCK "

If I don't press VOL_UP I get the wiping data option: " press <VOL_UP> to execute or <VOL_DOWN> to cancel wiping data". It is not the one of CWM.

BUT if I press VOL_UP ... an Android robot with an exclamative marks appear. :eek:

So... what am I missing? What's the actual status of the device? My guess is that stock rom is ok but recovery don't. How can I restore completely the situation to the stock one (or also, previous backups)?

Thanks in advance mates, unfortunately I have to add support for ad-hoc connection in 24 hours (to bring my tablet with me on holiday, otherwise I have no way to connect to the net and the device is quite useless :rolleyes:).

Understanding how to flash to stock version both boot and recovery is quite a nice way to start modding from scratch, having the knowledge that no matter what a mess I can do, there's always a way to repair to original, asus stock version :)

Hi, can you change this keyboard

to this?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
If you long press in the writing area, you'll get the option to change input method and there you'll be able to shift between keyboards. For example, if you have installed Swype, it'll be shown there.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uyo_kun:
I'm just have this option
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
That's because you don't have any other keyboard installed on your phone.

There are numerous keyboards available on the market. Personally, I prefer Swype 3.0 beta. You can find it here <beta.swype.com/>

Other keyboards you could try out are SwiftKey, SlideIT, TouchPal etc. Just have a look at the android market. :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svprm:
You can do it SE keyboard.

It will automatically change to tat one when you typing in numbers field(Phone no.)

Try some other keyboard like BetterKeyboard.

Are you looking for something in particular or just a method to change keyboards?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uyo_kun:
no, I'm not ask about method to change keyboard, but I want to change the keyboard into dial number like my first post
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Well, you can do that with Swype. (I am talking with reference to Swype as that's my preferred keyboard).

To display the numeric keypad, press the Swype key + 5.

​

And you should get this. :)

If this was useful, use the Thanks button.

BTW, CNET has a helpful article on 7 Swype keyboard tips for better Swyping. Do check it out if you end up getting Swype.

Cheers!

Is there any difference between bootSEA and boot179-4? If yes then which is better? which 1 to use?
[Defy Android Development] remuseu:

but i use bootsea and the nightly from 27/07 for wide camera fix
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
guys....???

a new thread really?

c'mon, it's already thread on there.

recently much people asking a question about CM7 with a new thread.

anyway, here i gave you my opinion:

i am using cm7 bootsea,

then update use 27 july nightly.

27 july nightly fixing laggy on video recording,

anyway do not choose HD if you are green lensed defy, it will FC.

now it's best cm7 on defy EVER!

it's stable, fast, and better batery.

before go to 27 july nightly, you have to install bootsea first (cmiiw).

but for me, first i go to froyo sea ---> cm7 boot sea ---> 27 july nightly.
[Defy Android Development] ajaneesh:
but whats the difference?

i still havent found the answer to "what is the difference between bootsea and boot179?" :(

who should use what and why?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
BOOT179 loads a Nordic kernel from Europe

BOOTSEA loads a kernel from South East Asia

Epsylon3 wrote on the main CM7 thread that there 'might be' no difference between the two since everything is almost the same in the system files...

So it's up to you to choose the one you want to try and find out how it turns out.

From people's comments, it seems clear that user experiences vary with the builds and boot choice.

I thought my video camera was fine with BOOT179-4 build and I just found out that it lags once in a while. So I will now try to replace*** the "camera.apk" and [as Quarx himself suggested earlier:] "Copy only the /system/lib/libOMX.TI.Video.encoder.so from the [July 27th - since Marhensa says that it works for her] nightly.

*** [if you do try this, don't forget to change the files permissions AND the ownerships before rebooting]

Fingers crossed for no more lags in video.

And no, I don't want to try the full nightly yet because my wifi only has good speed on BOOT179-4 [only one that works OK out of all nightly builds I've tried].
[Defy Android Development] defyno1:
179-4 is from the kernel of froyo in spain(vodafone)
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
Only a fix, BOOT179 is CEE kernel, not Nordic. I recommend that first you flash the Froyo version of your choice (CEE or SEA), then install CM7. Anyway, all the nightly's are using CEE as base instead of Nordic (but the nightly's don't come with kernel), so it's the recommended version.

I'm using version BOOT179-110729 and I'm pretty sure it's the best version of CM7 I have ever tested. It's much stable, abd the battery is lasting for 2-3 days for me, depending on use. And now I have CrystalTalk =)
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Yep, not Nordic sorry [had boot177 in mind probably] but Europe was right;)

And as for the 2 files replacement for the video cam: so far so good! Tried about to record ~10 videos and no lag...still testing.
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:

3.4.2-179-2

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mabstrei:
I changed the Registry Keys for the Softkey 1 and 2 on a Windows Mobile to start a .exe with parameters.

I changed the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

the Open value contains the path to the exe file plus an argument.

If i open the exe without using the softkeys it works but if i try to use the softkeys i get the following error: "The file 'xyz.exe argument' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem presists, try reinstalling or restoring the file"

If i start the exe via the File Explorer and without arguments i can start it without problems.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hjgode:
AFAIK you cant use args with Today\Keys\112 and 113.

You may create a link file with the args to launch your app instead. For example:

255#"\Windows\outlook.exe" -vm

put this in an ascii file and name it with an extension of .lnk

For example: "\Windows\viewmonth.lnk"

then use the lnk file name in the Open registry key

I've recently noticed an annoying bug which seems to be plaguing the current software version (1.35).

When using VOIP apps (tested with Skype) over a Wi-Fi connection, the call quality is very poor with frequent break ups and lost packets. If however the setting Wifi->Advanced->"Best Wi-Fi performance" is ON, the problem goes away and VOIP works like a charm. I've tried this on several different networks so I know it is not a router issue. My understanding is that this Best Wi-Fi performance setting causes quite a hit on battery life so it would be nice to find a solution.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ZoinksS2k:
Thanks for assembling this, you covered everything very well.

I own both flavors. The LTE's power button is almost impossible to find by touch alone. You have to drag your finger past the speaker slot and hope you find it. It is fairly annoying.

Good news is that LTE is the real deal. I saw 17mbit down at my office.

As for battery life, the LTE version had 50% charge out of the box and it ran down to 25% over 2 hours with heavy data access (speedtest.net, automatic app installs from the Market, Exchange email, etc.). If this holds true with normal usage, we are looking at about 5 hours of total life, give or take.

I just added some benchmark data showing some interesting results...

30% gain in 3D performance in 4G/LTE version

Much faster I/O score in Quadrant Advanced - could this be simply due to aging on the memory cells on my older Wifi version?

Linpack did not achieve any higher results on my Wifi version with multi-threading, but the 4G/LTE nearly doubles its score...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoodoomagic:
Could you run a Vellamo benchmark please? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.quicinc.vellamo&feature=search_result

There is something with the wifi 3.1 update that does not get along with Quadrant, and the scores aren't particularly useful when comparing across roms.

Also the linpack multi-thread test should be in the 60's at least, not 30's...

Just difference in the software.... The wifi tab just came out in June. Compare with a rom or once we get the touchwize update.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] flarbear:
Vellamo got a 958 on the Verizon version I have at work (on the mobile radio, not wifi) which looks about the same score as the sample galaxy tab 10.1 in the results table at the end. I'll wait until I get home and can run the app back to back on both tabs to record the scores in the original post.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] akarol:
The only way to be completely fair would be to fully erase all information from both and make sure that the same exact programs are running on each. I am highly skeptical in the 3D and I/O speeds. Doesn't make sense as the graphical and processor components are identical.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gravis86:
The I/O speeds make sense if they changed the file system used or symlinked it. Though I don't know what filesystem either one uses so I guess we'll need to find out.

Updated drivers could explain the difference in the 3D scores.

I played with the Verizon version and it seemed faster than the Wifi one I played with a while back.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MrSewerPickle:
Just as a reminder to everyone, Samsung has indeed done this "type" of thing before on their tablets. Take a look at the 3G Galaxy Tab 7 " and the Wifi Only Galaxy Tab 7". Especially pay very close attention to the Imagination Tech PowerVR chip used in both.

I am unware of any major different variations of Tegra2 chips besides memory speeds so I dont know what it could be. It would help to have more detailed output from cpuinfo and meminfo....hint hint hint...:)
