[Acer Iconia A500] Athrun88:
If you don't mind, i'll jump on to your thread as well. I was going to make one, but thought it might just be clutter =p.

Hello everyone, I got my new A500 earlier today! I look forward to being a part of this community. Once I get familiar with the device, I will probably hang around the general/Q&A sections of the forum. I couldn't believe how simple it was to root the device, have to give some koodos to Acer in that regard.

Like the OP, I was shopping around and had the Iconia, Xoom and Transformer in the running with the Iconia winning. I just plain didn't like the Xoom, but it was an Android device so it was considered. Contemplated the Transformer, but in visiting their forums, there seemed to be alot of problems with it. So Iconia it was, and the price was right as well!

I really wanted the HTC Flyer, but they don't have root yet and it's not officially available up in the north here =(. Would have been a fine collection to my HTC family, but alas it was not meant to be. I do like this Iconia though!

Background on me:

Phones

HTC s720 -> HTC Hero -> HTC Desire Z

Tablets

welcome to the iconia!!
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
user from day one here

Only issue I have with my iconia is that its not Pink.ohh and I had to pay for it myself.

Its a awesome device.

Take the time to read the forums and get to know the limitations and issues.like the whole bootloader encryption and work around.Do so before you jump into moding your tab.

Have fun.

I have been having this problem even after doing everything correctly:

I wanted to try this ROM here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195912

So I went back to stock using the ODIN files from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

Then used the GB bootloaders from here:

Installed CMW recovery. Once done, I used the zip to install the rom.

Now the phone boots up, goes to the bullet screen after sometime boots up again. Any idea guys?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
While in your bootloop get back into recovery and reflash the rom (I had to do this on Miui and Simply Honey when I first installed them)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
why would they do that though? ^^^
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
I don't know why it worked but it worked for me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky_ag:
Tried both the methods. Nothing seems to work.

I tried disabling vodoo and re-flash. The problem I have then is it just loops. When vodoo is enabled it goes to data parition not enough space issue.

Any help anyone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyb421:
Did you wipe date/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik before flashing rom then wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions before rebooting?

EDIT: Also I would backup everything on your SD cards. I got that not enough space on partition before and it ended up wiping my sd cards.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky_ag:
yes I did. Well looks like vodoo lagfix did its number on me. The internal data has been cleaned up , I am having MBR checksum errors and still doesn't work. :mad:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyb421:
Also you can try this instead of odining back to jfd stock. It's worked really well for me when I've had major problems. Cleans everything up really good.

(QUOTE=Br1cK'd;16231313]Themes

I have posted about it in several threads, including my own, so I figured I would finally put it in a central location. This is my FTDNB method for starting with a fresh, clean phone, without any ghosts of roms past popping up to cause you issues.

Download this first, and flash through Odin with your standard 512 pit file

http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8

Then when it reboots to the recovery screen, pull your battery, reinsert it and boot up to dl mode, and flash the following, with your same pit file, and selecting repartition in Odin this second flash only:

http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3

The first link there is Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick, but it doesnt work that well as a driver. As an eraser its great though! The second link is the Froyo JK2 leak, with fixed recovery and already rooted. If the first one didnt, the second flash will definitely put you back on Froyo bootloaders.

Thats my whole secret to keeping a clean phone and wiping out any ghosts. You can proceed from there in your desired direction (back to ZD or GZ preferrably) in a safe manner. Its always worked for me to clear up any oddness, and literally takes 15 minutes tops once you have the files downloaded.[/QUOTE]
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipetloudog:
Im on 2.3 trigger and im gonna go back to good ol trigger 3.2 froyo. Prolly a dumb question but do i need to odin back if i still have the froyo bootloaders? (i wanna do it at work where there is no pc)

[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
Is there a way to remove the recent apps list all together? If not I will definitely be doing this.

[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
There are a number of ways to remove it, a quick and bootleg way would be to just reduce the height to 0 and width to 0 and hope for the best. Personally, I haven't tried this method, but it should work. I like it this way because you still get the functionality but with a bit more screen space.
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
Ok ill try that and see what happens. I just always use long press home button. So I really don't need them in the pull down.

[General Questions and Answers] timmiej93:
Hey people,

A friend of mine just got his new S2, and I got to play with it a little bit. Now I have to say, this works great! But since I'm still stuck to my HD2, I was wondering if there is a ROM out there that is similar to the S2's default look.

Unfortunatly, I can't show you guys a picture of how a homescreen would look, since I need 8 posts first...

But if anybody knows a ROM like this, I would love to know!

Thanks in advance,

Tim
[General Questions and Answers] itfast:
Any solution ?

I am also interested in a custom ROM Galaxy S2 on HD2... Did you find something ?

[Galaxy S II General] andoridkiller:
I was charging my phone will in the backgorunf downlaoded a gameloft game, and i touch the phone and its so hot i cant touch it for more than 5 seconds. Is this normal, should I exchange it.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Definitely not normal if it should burn you, I've been doing a lot of background downloads while charging the unit barely warms up but there is a warmer feel but if its burning then definitely not normal.
[Galaxy S II General] andoridkiller:
Ok i guess im exaggerating, but literally I couldnt touch the back for more than five seocnds before it hurts.
[Galaxy S II General] LokusT:
I only have that problem if the screen is on and something is active. nothing abnormal hogging the cpu?
[Galaxy S II General] LouisJB:
A lot of electronic chips have operating tempatures range of upto 90C. Since there is no fan or ventilation on the s2 all the excess heat comes through the plastic case. So when the CPU is work at full speed getting hot is quite normal.

So if it burns you like touching the side of a freshly boiled kettle, then that would be something to worry about.

That said it should not get that hot if you are not using the CPU heavily like when playing a game.
[Galaxy S II General] commodoor:
This only happend to me when I played dungeon defender. So I wont play that game anymore. But in overall it doesnt get that hot
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Did you try cracking an egg on the back of the phone , if it starts to sizzle give it a quick flip over easy
[Galaxy S II General] 666fff:
Now that is true multitasking!
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Having been with 3 different S2's I can say that the heat profile on this phone has a VERY huge variance. The 2nd phone I had barely heat up playing any game and that includes dungeon defenders it was NOT any warmer than playing angry birds. Charging showed a battery temperature of something like 33-34c.

The 3rd phone I got charges to something lie 41-42c and runs significantly warmer even by just playing Dungeon hunter2 HD.

There was a mythical phone even that ran at 1.6Ghz overclocked and it ran cooler than stock, now that was some cool story!
[Galaxy S II General] mofierce:
I'll experience the same thing when playing live holdem poker... The temperature rise up to 49C..
[Galaxy S II General] WTFkravok:
my phone went up to 60c while playing Dungeon defenders for 20minutes , and it doesnt restart, anyone know the temp threshold? and should i stop playing the game ? XD
[Galaxy S II General] xdafun4all:
finally i solved this problem using tegrak to set cpu speed to 200 min : 800 max

no heat any more

but i need to ask is it safe to change it in games only and return it normal all other times ??

[Defy General] cardosy:
Hi there,

I'm a brazilian owner of a Motorola Defy and have been looking to upgrade it to cyanogen since the day I bought it. Then I learned Motorola was somewhat working on a official 2.3 update and decided to wait and see the results. That was months ago.

So I decided to finally take a step and try CM7. Thing is, I'm a completely newbie in android (this is my first phone wich uses the system), so a lot of things in the guides simply don't make sense to me. Can anyone explain me some things?

1. Can I upgrade it to the last CM7 build without losing the ability to move it back to official 2.2? How?

2. If not, will I be able to change to the official 2.3 when it comes out?

3. Will the system be 100% portuguese?

4. I'm colorblind and don't know my lense color. My phone is somewhat new but I would like to be sure wich is my camera before changing the system. Is there a way to do that without looking at the lense? (I heard about red camera doing noises when switching on and etc.)

Last, can anyone guide me through the upgrade process, from the very start?

Android version: 2.2.1

Version number: 3.4.2-107_JDNL-9

Thanks for your time and sorry for the bad english/yet another newbie request.

[Defy General] cardosy:
I'll check these links *again*. Most of my doubts still exist but thanks for the effort, anyway.

Thanks hervelo,

did you try this method yourself? I ran the app and followed the instructions but could not find any "cameracommon" entry. I haven't really understand what he meant with the emoticons.. :(
[Defy General] :
Yes i did and it works, don't forget to launch and exit the camera (4 and 5) and it should work. I have made this mistake the first time.
[Defy General] cardosy:
Found out I had a lot of processes going on and the cameracommon entry was being forgotten faster than I was searching for it.

But hey, it says I have BAYER device. It means I have a red camera, isn't it? :D
[Defy General] :
Not necessarily RED but it means that you should be able to record 720p. I have a BAYER lens too but I did'nt try any hack to do it. I am waiting for the right CM7 nightly to make it work.
[Defy General] cardosy:
Ok, I got it. Thanks for the help and good news, I'm a lot more confident now. Gonna wait for the rest of my questions to be answered now, like the language one :)
[Defy General] :
I am french and the french version is pretty good. My point of vue is that the quality of the translation will depend on people reporting for mistakes.

Anyway, read carefully the documentation chem57guru gave you, the FAQ is really complete, so it should answer almost all of your questions.

Good luck.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
My ERIS g-sensor has a tendency to get out of whack. What I mean is that if you leave autorotation on with the phone lying flat, the screen will often rotate 90 degrees as if you were holding it in a landscape position. If you download a level app, it will show level surfaces as not level. Any while several gps and level apps allow you to calibrate what level is, they do not affect the autorotation being off.

The g-sensor is easily calibrated on a stock sense rom in the settings menu. But AOSP and CM ROMs do not provide a calibration tool, and calibration is reset with every newly flashed ROM. So, for a long time, I just turned off autorotation.

I did find a fix, adapted from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803242), but simplified below.

What you need:

A CM or AOSP ROM. I've tested on Condemned Soul's CM7 ROM.

A Root File Manager App with Text Editor capability. I'm using ES File Explorer

GPS Status App or another level or sensor app

1. Open GPS Status App (or other sensor app). Lay the phone on a flat level-ish surface. Observe how far the "bubble" in the center of the compass is offset from "level" or the solid circle in the middle of the compass. You can numerically see what the Pitch (up-down) and Roll (left-right) offset are. When calibrated, these numbers read 0 and the bubble will lie on-center.

2. Press home button, then open your file explorer. Navigate to /data/misc and locate the AK8973Prms.txt file. You may want to make a backup of this file, in case anything goes wrong. Open the file in the text editor. Locate the following:

AOFFSET.x=0

AOFFSET.y=0

3. Adjust these values by increments of 1 (or -1) until the GPS app shows it is level. Here's how: To move level left, change AOFFSET.x=0 to AOFFSET.x=1 then save the file. Long-press home to select the GPS app and check for level. If not level, increase to AOFFSET.x=2, save, and check again. Repeat until roll is level, then modify AOFFSET.y=0 until pitch is level. My final values are x=4 and y=-4. I haven't tweaked the z value (that is vertical level or plumb) but you can calibrate the same way if you have a plumb surface (like a newish house door). I live in an old house - nothing is plumb!

4. Enjoy your calibrated G-Sensor.
[Droid Eris General] MongooseHelix:
In GPS Status, does menu->tools->"calibrate pitch and roll" help any? Maybe it just calibrates for the app itself and not system wide. I keep auto-rotate off most the time so I don't have much experience with the screen switching when it shouldn't.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Correct, the app just calibrates itself, not the system. I know, it's only a minor annoyance, but makes me happy...
[Droid Eris General] MongooseHelix:
I wasn't trying to imply that you should turn off auto-rotate, was wanting to describe why I might have sounded like an idiot asking whether that tool did anything system wide lol. I can see it being more than an annoyance so I'm glad you found and shared a way to fix it.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
No worries mgh! Lol
[Droid Eris General] snortman:
Thanks for posting this, klob! There are times when auto-rotate does come in handy, but then there are times when I don't want it on. I'll try this and see if it helps me out.

[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
As far as I can tell, this fix only worked on early htc phones up to gingerbread. I was never able to duplicate this on ICS or later on other phones. Sorry, and good luck.

Hi

I may have bricked my phone.

So I did what everyone did this morning and flashed ep1q via cwm.

I got the boot loop.

Then I tried via odin.

Odin gets stuck at Initialization.. I waited for 30 mins before yanking and trying again.

I have now tried just to get a working phone using PIT file and stock roms.

When I turn on the phone I do not get the samsung splash screen. I get a computer and phone icon with a line connecting them.

Anyone have a suggestion?

now did you get it to work with a stock rom?

Make sure you put the battery back in after you get it in download mode. And use the stock ee4 and the pit file when you flash.

I've done both. I use a PIT file, and a stock EE4 to return the phone back to factory state.

Everything seems to load up fine, then gets stuck on factoryfs.rfs.

Is it possible that it has something to do with running it in bootcamp on a macbook?

Could be. You might try a windows machine.

Hello Forum,

I have been facing this problem for a while. For some Reason, When i visit a Website, Things like Google adsense, and a couple of Other scripts ( not all ), Wont load. I have not installed any sort of Adblocker or anything. I have Cleaned my phone ( factory reset ) couple of Times, and with my phone completely empty, and with default settings, I have tired, but still no change.

Moreover, I am also unable to visit some sites like http://www.whos.amung.us/ from my android phone, But I CAN visit the same site using my PC and iPad connected to the same wifi connection as my android phone.

To give you a better explanation, I will share two screen shots.

Here is how my site looks on the desktop version :-

And here is how the site looks on my android device :-

Please Notice, the Google Ads Above and Below the article, The two ads on the Sidebar, The Ad on the footer, and a Page counter Javascript are all not visible on my Android device.

The page counter JavaScript on the footer of the site is hosted by whos.amung.us. Even when i try to visit the site manually, Android browsers ( stock, Dolphon, Opera ) all tell me cannot connect!

I have also tried visiting the site from other Wifi connections and even using the 3G, but still no result ://

Am currently using Desire HD Android revolution 5.2. But the results are same with Desire HD stock ROM. Moreover, I had the same problem with my previous phone Samsung Galaxy S.
