[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
Nivida hasn't made a statement sine the April fiasco. I don't rst thatViewonic ever actually spoke wiht anyone at Nvidia regarding drivers. they claim that they did, simply ot shut us up.

The only thing we can do now, is leave negative reviews on as many sites as we can for the potential lack of support for their products. Even just a few people deciding not to urase frm Viewsonic would make difference.
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
well apparantly if you voice your opinion too much they will dete your posts and make is so you cannot post their facebook page anymore. i have been banned for simply asking "I have just one single question for Viewsonic (that i know will be ignored or deleted)..... With the "less than desirable" support i and others have recieved for your GTablet product, why would i spend any more money with you and buy a Ventana??" so now the only place i can post is to the "recomendations" section.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
They banned you for that? Ouch. I'm surprised they haven't deleted my comments yet, then. I figured I was skirting with a ban, but no worries - I'll keep posting there every few days until they do. :)
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
thanks... hope someone keeps up the fight!!!
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
They're not stoopid. You're too high profile to ban. Banning you will cause a fire storm. Just like banning me will cause a fire storm also. And trust me, if I get banned it will definitely go on the front page of my website. And based on how many visitors I get, it will be a PR nightmare for them.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't think I will be a blip on their radar, to be honest.

Before their April CS change / support drop / abandonment, I had some pull over there (I think). CS knew me and we had a decent rapport, and I even had the ear of at least one manager over in VS R&D. But something definitely happened in April - I don't know what it was, but my guess is that somebody in middle or upper management looked over the costs and and profit margins for the GTAB, and basically said "cut this one loose". There was a very quick, and very noticeable (at least to me) change in how they treated their GTAB customer base. And, so far, that has not changed yet.

They even had a presence here in XDA, back in December / January. But I haven't seen anyone from VS post here in a VERY long time.
[G Tablet General] thangcuoi:
goodintentions/living enzyme, has something happen to your Facebook account? Can't find you on the Facebook campaign page and your posts in the Viewsonic forum has also disappeared. Just want to know if you are interest in being an Admin on the Facebook campaign or can recommend someone here for the job.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I'm having my man period. Very emotionally unstable. Decided to disable my facebook account.

By the way, thanks for condering me. Unfortunately, my life is very busy. My schedule also very erratic. This is not to mention the times I have to sleep on the couch due to monthly biology.
[G Tablet General] thangcuoi:
LOL. It's good to have you back.

I had some trouble locating this post. Saw you pop up again on FB and was about to ask again the same thing.

So can you think of any who might be interest in taking over running the campaign? How about this guy/gal? I just never notice him/her before. S/He certainly has the enthusiam.

I feel like I have taken the campaign as far as I can go. Time for some fresh blood.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Keep in mind that there are several layers, here - the one I complain about the most is continued Froyo support. This is also the thing I believe is the most likely to be fixed, especially since there are UAT releases out there, already. It's just a question of the various companies working out their issues and green-lighting it.

The Gingerbread / HC requests are a different animal. The reason why is because it's not just Viewsonic's headache, it's all the other companies that are using a Harmony board, including Notion Ink. NONE of them have source from Nvidia, and none have HC source from either Nvidia or Google. Not that they shouldn't try, of course, but I don't see this happening anytime soon (if at all).

I'd be satisfied with a new fully released and supported Froyo stock ROM, at this point. It would show that Viewsonic and their vendors are still supporting their users - it wouldn't make a big impact here since we modded their ROMs already, but a released 1.2bl that "stuck" would at least push development into that direction even more.
[G Tablet General] thangcuoi:
Nickos over at Slatedroid share a similar view as this. To the best of your knowledge, is NVIDIA deliberately withholding Gingerbread or it just so happen that people on Harmony are more interest in getting Honeycomb/tablet OS? Has Notion Ink mention anything about bringing GB to the Adam?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Notion Ink had a GB alpha, but it has the same hardware acceleration issues as CM7. I believe they've since scrapped that and have concentrated on Honeycomb.

I honestly don't know what's going on, but my best guess is that Nvidia doesn't want to put in the resources to support GB on Harmony (no matter what they say in writing). The reason why I feel this way is because there are several vendors affected, and I suspect that Notion Ink, in particular, would want these drivers. But this is only a guess.

It's also possible that Notion Ink is beholden to another company to lean on Nvidia - perhaps Flextronics? We know that Viewsonic has this issue, but not sure about NI. There's a lot about this whole sorry mess that I don't really understand, to be honest.
[G Tablet General] AmericanDane:
As usual, Roebeet, I believe you've nailed it. I realize margins in this stuff is pitiful but it's hard to believe Viewsonic hasn't seen they've done the hard parts already in gearing up a staff to do a Tegra tablet. Get a better screen and be the full featured kindle fire of the line. I think all the 500+ tablets will fail unless they get much more functional, but the 200-300 market is there for the taking if a decent company went after it. Kindle fire and the plethora of manufacturers will make it hard to win, but it is winable. In their defense, I must admit, it all looks like a losing proposition until the field gets trimmed a bit.

And, supporting a full blown Froyo would be a great support step.
[G Tablet General] jbuggydroid:
Thinking maybe things may change for the better for the gtab once ics source code is released. Hoping we can see that on the gtab with some support from nvidea. I'm just guessing that the reason why HC wasn't released or supported on the gtab was because the source for HC never was released. i know the devs will have better progress with ics since they will have the source with it then they did with HC so I believe one way or another we will get ics on the gtab and hopefully get the support from nvidea or viewsonic back
[G Tablet General] titooo7:
IThe source code of gingerbread was released also and we still couldn't have a GB rom with hardware acceleration and camera working, so I really dont think that having the source code of ICS will help so much .

Our last hopes are the devs who are working in the development of a fully functional kernel for HC, if they can do it for HC for sure they could do it with ICS...but I'm not too optimisic :(

Does anyone know to change the default launched app when in Car mode on P3D Neon 2.0? I had a car home screen working great on the stock by just installing it from the Market - but after flashing P3D Neon, I cant get the cusrom car home screen to come up - it always launches some navigation that keeps asking for a license???

Here is my first boot animation and would like to know what you guys think.

It has one annoyance where the sound stops a little early even though the sound file is longer and I can't figure out why.

I will work on making a preview.

Just flash with CWM

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
So sir_earl has done us all a great service by making it possible to use the Playstation 3 controller with Android phones. He posted about it in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179929

But unfortunately for us, it's not compatible with the Sidekick 4G or several other recent Samsung phones. It sounds like our stock ROM doesn't give it the access it needs to the bluetooth hardware. What would it take to fix this? Is it something we can add with a custom kernel?

(BTW, I am the farthest thing from a software developer on the face of the earth, so sorry if I turn out to be Captain Oblivious.)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
This is not an issue with access, but rather that certain protocols aren't built into our driver.

Think of it like this; you're trying to use an Xbox controller with a Playstation. They're both controllers, but they don't know how to talk to each other.

This would require either rewriting the bluetooth driver ( not feasible) or seeing if the driver is similar in our phones to that of one of the working phones.

EDIT: took a look in the kernel config, and found some bluetooth protocols that weren't enabled, that according to http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html are the same as the ones that the controller uses? not sure.

EDIT2: Tried enabling all the bluetooth options in the kernel config, couldn't get the compat checker to tell me anything good, still just says missing protocol, even though HID (what it should be) is enabled. I PM'd sir_earl to see what protocol is required and which phones it works on, perhaps I can see if their driver will build with our kernel, or if I can somehow mash together our sources to make it work.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
That's a great start. I'd be really happy if we could make this work.

Our phone has all the power it needs to run things like N64 and PS1 emulators, and combined with the TV out cable, we've effectively got a dozen game consoles in our pockets. We just need a good way of controlling them.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Update: got a PM back from sir_earl, it's true that Samsung left out the BT protocol we need to use this, it's called "L2CAP via raw sockets" (from sir_earl). He suggested that using the AOSP/CM BT stack would be a good place to try, so I may give that a shot sometime later, as my list of projects is somewhat long right now.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Thanks for getting to the bottom of this. Here's hoping you get a chance to try it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Did you have a chance to fiddle with this any more? I'd sure like to be able to use a proper gamepad with all the awesome emulators that run on these phones.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Tried looking at it, but the bluetooth stack that has proper support didn't work by just being added to our Kernel. I'm also kinda working on porting our kernel to be compatible with CM6/7, which would be easier to add the bluetooth stack to.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordonlm1:
I have cm7 installed on the device and it will mount the external sd card however it shows that nothing is there. (but there are files on it )

when I connect it to my pc and do usb connect my computer will show all the files on the sd card.

Any advice to fix this problem would be appreciated thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
got GB bootloaders ??

external sd only works with froyo bootloaders on cm7
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordonlm1:
Ya I have Froyo boot loaders at least i should, I haven't flashed any GB boot loaders or roms until cm7
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
dont know then, never been on cm7 and know nothing about it apart from that
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gemstocks:
Install CM7 Nightly 76+. Nightly 76+ would allow you to see the external SD if you upgrade straight from the stock 2.1 after Ordin. You don't need to install Froyo boot loader anymore to see the external sd.

I used to have the same problem, could see Emmc folder, but nothing in there..
[Galaxy Tab General] brendand:
I'm getting conflicting information from kies about firmware update availability. A popup message appears saying the firmware is ready to be upgraded. I then start kies and plug in my tab, and I am told I already have the latest firmware.

Bought my tab in Dubai airport, but live in New Zealand and am using it with Vodafone New Zealand. I switched from XSS to XSG from *#272*imei# menu.

*#1234# reports:

PDA: P1000JPJM5

PHONE P1000JXJM2

CSC: P1000OJPJM6

Firmware version: 2.2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 root@mea04 #1

Any ideas? I'd like to upgrade to gingerbread when it's available, but can't use custom firmware as it's a work phone. Do you think switching back from XSG to XSS might help?
[Galaxy Tab General] bongski55:
Mine too was bought in dubai.I have since flashed the Asian froyo and now it has been updated to the latest gingerbread thru kies. I read somewhere that there are issues with the Middle Eastern/Arabic region with android that needs to be resolved before an upgrade is officially issued.

Since your tab is a work device and I assume you are ok with it then there is no solid reason to get gb by flashing with all the risks. But if you think you can go thru the steps in flashing then go ahead and follow the steps here in this forum.

Good luck!

[Motorola Triumph] SouthParkFan15:
I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the name of the service provider from "Virgin Mobile" to whatever i want. (Like my name for instance.) I have already tried changing the build.prop file and it didn't work. The app "Carrier Name" doesn't work. I tried extracting the framework.apk and going deeper to the eri.xml and changing the provider name to something else but "Virgin Mobile" wasn't even there. Also in cdma workshop changing the banner doesn't do anything and the banner isn't even "Virgin Mobile" which it should be. I have tried other forums with no success and i'm hoping a dev can help. Yes i am rooted.
[Motorola Triumph] motorolatriumph:
x2 would also like to know how to change that name to something else..

[Motorola Triumph] SouthParkFan15:
Ya i forgot to mention I also tried QPST with no luck.
[Motorola Triumph] rubbachicken:
under CDMA carriers I believe if you edit the framework-res.apk/values/strings.xml you can change something like zz_nationalRoaming_Carrier=Virgin Mobile

i know it sounds weird, roaming, but check it out....

I've been trying to accomplish this on GSM phones but they pull the variable from the sim card.... if you can simply change the txt value in framework-res.apk/layout/keyguard_screen_lock.xml then maybe that would work?

You need to change it from something like android:id="@id/carrier" whatever it says;

to android:text="custom" or whatever that is... (Open up eclipse and check out a basic text fields layout.xml so that you can use that as a guide if you need to...)

I'll check it out soon; it's something I intended to do for a guy.. I just don't personally own the triumph :( this worked great on Samsung Moment... but it was android 2.1 ....
[Motorola Triumph] SouthParkFan15:
I was so excited when I saw your post! But then I became bummed again as I saw that I don't have a "values" folder on my triumph's framework-res.apk. The three folders that I have as I open the .apk are "assets", "META-INF",and "res." I have attached a picture to show you what I mean. Thanks for the effort. Keep me updated.
[Motorola Triumph] rubbachicken:
Don't extract it... use apktool,

it needs decompiled... (if you use root explorer or something you can't see the correct text either)

-- Please be ready to recover your rom before trying this you may have a bootloop if you forget to fix permissions etc... ---

Windows instructions

Place framework-res.apk in your c:\ in a new folder called frame (or wherever);

example will use c:\frame\

Put apktool and aapt in \frame; (I will try to find something to attatch sorry i'm on my lunch break @ work)

C:\frame\framework-res.apk

C:\frame\aapt.exe

C:\frame\apktool.bat

C:\frame\apktool.jar

Open command prompt as administrator (open start menu type cmd right click it hit run as administrator)

In this prompt type cd\frame (Or wherever you put those files)

Run this;

apktool d framework-res.apk

this will extract all files to C:\frame\framework-res\

Check then for your values folder, you should see tons... just worry about Values. the rest are locales... (languages,, if it fails maybe try values-EN?)

Once you're done you can run apktool b framework-res and it will build the contents of the c:\frame\framework-res\ folder into C:\framework-res\dist\framework-res.apk

now you have to put this file in your /system/

you can get it there via the phone if you have issues I will try to help for now here are adb instructions:

adb remount

adb push c:\frame\framework-res\dist\framework-res.apk /system/framework-res.apk

adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework-res.apk

This may or may not work again I'm on my lunch sorry...

report back i'll stay active here;

I don't own a triumph but my buddy does so I can't test much :(

I am learning this stuff too but I have spent some time with it so i'd be more than happy to share; likewise i'd love anyones help learning aswell.... that's actually what brought my attention to this triumph; =D

edit; btw i'll see if i can't test this realtime tonight I had heard that 7zip is fine for framework-res but I think that was for the GFX themeing not for the xml editing? I dont' know, I apologize if you got stuck on my guide however I will work with you to make it through it :D
[Motorola Triumph] SouthParkFan15:
Thanks man. I appreciate your write up. I will try it today after school and get back to you on the results.
[Motorola Triumph] rubbachicken:
You may have an issue in adb, i noticed that I was unable to get the device to pick up in ADB ... I rebooted the phone and noticed that the device manager picks up the Android ADB Interface for a minute, but as it finalizes boot it drops it...

Perhaps I just have driver issues but it seems like a start up script is runing the command stop adbd

Anyway if that's the case we need to remove the stop adbd command from the startup scripts;

Anyways; if you can't get ADB USB drivers maybe w/ your root access you can set it up on wifi? connect to wifi and run

(From phone terminal)

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555

stop adbd

start adbd

(From PC)

adb tcpip 5555

adb connect IPADDRESS:5555 -Note that i mean the ip address to the phone on wifi)

then if it's successful you should be able to adb remount adb push framework etc...

remember to chmod or you WILL bootloop.

[Motorola Triumph] rubbachicken:
i'll take a look i believe it it's entirely because of what version of APKtool I submitted (perhaps a bad one, sry...) I'll get the framework from the system dump in the other thread and try it out
[Motorola Triumph] SouthParkFan15:
Ok thanks a lot man.
[Motorola Triumph] rubbachicken:
Wow I joined in 2008 and got my first thanks; yet I went to reply and thanked you for saying thanks!

Hahahah, no but for real it's cool cause thanks for trying; fyi i was able to compile okay...

I found apktool.yml or whatever, but it's supposed to be in the decompiled folder... when you recompiled are you doing it like this?

apktool d framework-res.apk

apktool b framework-res (NO .apk it is the FOLDER you are targetting)

I will test my rebuilt framework, this is what I changed;

<string name="roamingText1">Virgin Mobile</string>

to

<string name="roamingText1">Ryan S.</string> (The guys name.)
[Motorola Triumph] ziggy46:
You guys what you have to edit is the line "zz-roaming text 1" just editing this one will change them all. (Lockscreen and notification bar) as for the tool to decompile the framework-Res.apk I recommend apk manager. It is the easiest to use. (Note to newbs) with apk manager you don't have to remember command prompt codes
[Motorola Triumph] rubbachicken:
I found no zz in it, was the problem... several zzz but no zz roaming

anyway i should forwarn that my framework-res.apk broke the guys phone i restored it and we're good but looking at the files they're 700kb differences so perhaps apk manager alone will recompile more successfully?

I appreciate the reocmmendation most of the tools I have found so far havn't allowed access to the xml files just the pngs, or not all of the contents of the apk (not decoding them)

I'll try apk manager and report back soon.
[Motorola Triumph] jrocker:
I've never tried apk tool, I may try this once someone does it successfully so I'll be watching. I don't know how to backup my phone so I'm wary of tinkering.
[Motorola Triumph] mvalenc3:
using apk tool

From my own experience I find that apk manager can sometimes be tricky to use. And sometimes when you recompile the first time it doesn't work properly. If it doesn't work the first time try it again. Ill try doing this when I can get to my computer. BTW make sure you import the old files and delete whichever one you changed. That's where it can get tricky
[Motorola Triumph] rubbachicken:
the current issue i'm having is that the apk file made is like 6-800kb smaller and all i didwas remove ascii,

i'll test it when i can though sorry :(
