Hi. Love Viewpad 7 & Hate Viewsonic documentation, and howto support. How can I create my own wallpapers? If I try to use a photo via Wallpapers -> Gallery

-> Select my photo, 800x480 but I am forced to crop just a part of my whole photo. The result is my photo gets cropped !!! I am a newbie but extensive Web search did not help anyway. Please help ...:confused:
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Are you using stock rom or rooted, custom ROM & launcher? Do you have the option to turn off wallpaper scrolling (like mine using ADW instead)?

Also, try compressing/re-sizing your photo wallpaper to 640x480 or even 320x240? On mine, I can crop/shrink or enlarge the size of the wallpaper to fit ....
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lastomen:
Thanks Lititride. My VPAD7 is rooted, and my ROM is EUViewpad7V1.4.zip. I am resizing images with some success. I did get angry with forced crop of my images. I did not find any wallpaper scrolling option. Have a good day !

VPad7 Desktop Wallpaper Howto.

We must process source image to be transferred to VPad7. Its geometry must be 576x288, being the upper half part of a 576x576 pattern image. I suggest to create a 576x576 blank pattern image as a template to be reused, and two windows applications: IrfanView and LView or any other you prefer.

VPad7 screen geometry is 800x480; aspect ratio is 1.666, but desktop wallpaper must be widther to provide horizontal scroll, when diferent desktops are shown.

Desktop process (Part 1):

a) We must first choose the image, we want to be our desktop wallpaper. Its aspect ratio must be equal to 2 (1024x512, 800x400, in general 2LxL).

b) After source image is selected, it must be resized to 576x288.

Note: I find IrfanView very appropiate, to perform a) & b) steps.

c) Resultant version of image must pasted as the upper half of Pattern0.jpg image.

Note: I perform this step, opening Pattern0.jpg image with LView application, and copying from IrfanView, step b) image to LView, upper half of pattern opened image.

d) I save full modified Pattern0.jpg image, as a new name one, and transfer it to a folder at SDHC card, into VPad7.

VPad7 process (Part 2):

Now we use VPad7 wallpaper setup, using Gallery option.

1. Touch desktop free area for 3 seconds.

2. Select Wallpaper at menu prompt.

3. Select Gallery at next menu prompt.

4. Select the image formatted at Desktop process (Part 1).

5. Resize crop area to full size, locating it at the top border of image.

6. Select Save.

7. Wait and cheers. Enjoy your new wallpaper !! :D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lastomen:
Sorry about a possible confusion about my reference to Pattern0.jpg. It is the name I provided, to the blank pattern image, 576x576 geometry, I suggest to create at the beginning of Howto.

Have a wonderfull wallpapers !! :)

hello mr. stefunel, i recently checked out your website romkitchen.org

. it is an appreciable work done by you. i downloaded the latest 2.3.4

gingerbread based JVR_Wipe.zip, version: v8 ROM, coupled with a stock

kernel and a jvr modem. i want to install it it on my galaxy s. But

after searching saveral resources over the internet, i didn't found

any way to do so. i got some old guides but i didn't found the new

one. as i am a beginner in doing these kind of things, i would

appreciate if you can provide a clean and complete guide of

installation. i would also like to suggest you, that it would be very

helpful to every user if you provide a section on installation guide,

on that particular website.

thank you.

I have a 9020T. I thought I had a 9020A. Flashed the wrong radio and I'm stuck on edge no matter what radio I flash. How do I fix my mistake? And yes, I'm aware I'm a total dumbass :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
Do u have a sim card from at&t. If so, 9020t will only give u edge. You need to buy 9020a to give u 3g with at&t.

Flashing different radios might enhance you network and wifi reception. You shouldn't be stuck on edge unless your area has a poor reception or u bought the wrong phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
No, I'm on T-Mobile. Have a T-Mobile sim.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
What is your radio version?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:
you might be on the wrong radio band after the switch. try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and going to phone information. from there, push menu, choose select radio band, and choose USA band. you could also try choosing automatic, but that never seems to work for me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Baseband is I9020XXKD1. I flashed the radio that was in the 2.3.6 update, which is obviously not for this model. I've flashed every 9020T radio and still only on edge.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Tried this, didn't help. Thanks for the idea though
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
I have the 9020t. Works well in Europe and middle east ( bought from the states) never had problem with the radio. Double check your 3g toggle from the mobile network menu, might reverted back to 2g after flashing
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
go to the main phone setting, wireless and networks, mobile networks.. if 2G only is enabled, uncheck it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
What method did you use to flash KD1?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
I thought KD1 is old. The new one should be KF1. But its only for at&t or 9020a
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Hi matt. I pulled it from a .zip and fastboot flashed it. Coming from sprint and the ns4g I wasn't familiar with the differences in the GSM versions.

I have double and triple checked the 2g/3g toggle, its not that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
That's where I messed up, I flashed that radio on my 9020t...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
Do u have an old nandroid backup? Something recent, I always make one before I flash anything
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
im using KD1, thats my favorite of the tmobile radios. just because it was released earlier doesnt make it old.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Yea, I restored it. It was from yesterday. Didn't help. Flashed kd1 before and after I restored it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try these two things, since you flashed the tmo radio already..

1. pull the battery for 3 minutes then boot up.

2. connect to wifi, let data go through for a few minutes, turn wifi off.

im assuming that you wiped your dalvik too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
Also. Check the radio guide by window7 in development section. Its tells you how to retrieve 3g back when flashing a new radio. Might help
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
Can you please see what happens if you flash this zip with ClockworkMod Recovery?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
will do right now. nothing else works

*still stuck on edge. thats actually the same one i flashed
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
Just for giggles, reboot in airplane mode. When that doesn't work, try *#*#scrtn#*#* then reboot and reactivate. Maybe update profile, too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidance:
Did you try method posted on development thread?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talo1995:
Any fix?

Have the same issue and have gone thru restores and flashing new radios. Have followed the guide to reset network as well. Not sure what to do. On XD1 at the moment.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] geocine:
I know there are tons of questions here how to unbrick a phone. But, this is not about it.

I know you can't unbrick your phone if you messed up your download mode and you can't even boot up into download mode.

What are the causes why you can't enter in download mode?

How do I prevent destroying my download mode?

For others who are asking if they can unbrick their phones. I would answer you, yes as long as you have download mode you can do whatever you like. I have bricked my phone countless times already. But I am not sure until when my download mode will last.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
I dont know if this applies for SGA but you can just use JTAG.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jusada:
Some have lost the imei, this apears to be the only reason. It normaly happens through trying to unlock the phone.

Sent by my epic MY-UI powered ace! only on s5830
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] geocine:
@QNBT

thanks for your input. However I am asking ways to 'prevent' download mode from being destroyed

@Jusada

Does this mean if I don't brick my phone by unlocking, I can unbrick it by flashing.

And if gets bricked by unlockinge then I have to use jtag.?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2k4ever:
i have a galaxy s and not the ace, so i'm not 100% sure, but you can only permanently brick your phone when you start messing around with the bootloader

download mode is part of the bootloader, so as long as you leave the bootloader untouched, you can always boot into download mode and reflash the phone
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Just wanted to comment about this:

Using JTAG youre actually able to boot up without a bootloader in the phone, it supplies everything from the computer.

If you want to prevent it from bricking, keep away from network unlocking as jusada mentioned. Only flash stuff that is compatible with your rom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
Just curious: if I accidentally plugged out my phone while flashing (in download mode) through ODIN, what would happen? Would it be bricked?

Asking for theories, not practices. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] solidsample:
No it wont. You can get into download mode again and flash a ROM. Had happened to me many times.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] geocine:
Wow thanks guys. Does a usb jig work when you messed up the bootloader?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pandurangan:
i couldn't see anything displayed on my Samsung Galaxy ACE, even after the 3 button combo.. does this mean my phone is totally bricked?

I installed ROM manager and wen i tried to backup my current ROM, it shutdown and doesn't show anything now..

I'm in bad situation.. please advice me!!

by anychance the USB jig works?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] satti8893:
In dis forum most of the people were briked their aces by using rom manager
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] happily1986:
it really does depends on whether it is a soft brick or a hard brick.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madman:
mostly YES

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kyuta Syuko:
I've been having issues downloading apps larger then 20Mbs from the Android Market after updating to 3.0.27. Noticed there was a 3.1.3 floating around so I decided to install it and see if it helps with no luck. The error I usually get is insufficient space on the device. Some apps like Star Legends will download but then give me an incorrectly signed error. Other then using an alternative market (since the apps on the Android Market seem to be more frequently updated) is there any other work around? Or has anyone managed to hack the newest Android Market into bypassing that insufficient space check or something?

*edit* Just noticed I managed to post this in the Themes and Apps section... Sorry bout that could I get a mod to move to the Q&A Please?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
Use titanium backup to integrate updates of system apps into rom and remove orphan data.

This solves it for me.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kyuta Syuko:
I'll give it a try (once I figure out what you mean lol) and report back.

*edit* Alright I gave it a shot but only Maps and YouTube were in the Integrate updates of system apps into ROM and the Remove Orphan Data was empty... Suppose I should note that I have Market version 3.1.3 installed now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
I'm on 3.0.27, doing that seems to work for me. Try rebooting after doing the titanium stuff.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kyuta Syuko:
Does it matter that the Market didn't even show up as an option for either operation?

*edit* nvm it seems to be working thanks for the tip! :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
legit fix

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16612294&postcount=118

i had the issue while trying to install a larger app and this fixed it

when flashing this i also cleared /cache and dalvik through recovery

merging updates to system doesnt seem to solve the problem every time, but this does, i tested it on both 3.0.27 and 3.1.3 markets
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Jay1390:
Doesn't seem to work for me. I read somewhere, I think on the Samsung Infuse board, that google changed the download location from /data to /cache which prevents us from downloading larger apps. I don't know enough about android programming to switch it back, but I'm sure someone here does!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kyuta Syuko:
The download location on the Capt has always been /cache. After the download it's installed to /data. The /cache partition is only 30M big which is why we can't download anything larger than that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Jay1390:
If the download location has always been to the cache, why has it suddenly stopped working? I can uninstall the Market update and download large apps just fine. It doesn't make any sense for it to stop working unless there was a change in the way the download process works. My hardware doesn't change by uninstalling the update so it can't be a hardware issue.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kyuta Syuko:
I'be never been able to download anything over 30M
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Jay1390:
It seems a little further digging and someone else has found a way to get it to work. Check out haloimplants' solution here.
[Nook Color General] indeana:
I've been away from the forum for awhile. My NC is rooted at 1.0.1. Can I go to 1.3 without loosing root? How?
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
There's a whole OS change there, so no. The best thing to do is do a titanium backup of your apps/data, then restore to stock, then do the 1.3 update, then go run the manual nooter. I also posted a slightly modified version of manual nooter that you could use as well here.
[Nook Color General] indeana:
Thank you for your help. I'll take a look at your posts.
[Nook Color General] indeana:
So, if I've understood correctly, my procedure would be as follows:

1) Create a bootable ClockWorkMod sd card and update it with the 3.2.0.1 files

2) Add both Manual Nooter files to the sd card

3) Back up the current state with Titanium BU

4) Wipe the System & Data directories

5) Restore to Stock 1.0

6) Register the device with B&N

7) Apply the 1.3 update

8) Run the first Manual Nooter file from the sd card

9) Reboot

10) Login to Market

11) Run the second Manual Nooter file from the sd card

12) Reboot

13) Run the "Fix Permissions" from the sd card

14) Reboot

15) Restore from Titanium BU

-Does step 10 require the Google login ID & password I originally used way back when?

-Will restoring with Titanium BU bring back all apps, data, settings like I've been used to seeing?

-Will I still be able to use ADB to sideload content, apps, etc?
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
That's about right. Except fix permissions is something you do in Rom Manager (at least that's where I do it).

TiBU will bring back the data/settings only or all 3 if you want. I reinstalled from market or amazon and then restored the data when I went that route.

Yes, you should use the same google id, although I'm not sure it's required. But you'll be able to use ADB and all that.
[Nook Color General] indeana:
Is Rom Manager a paid app? I'm not familiar with it.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
No - it's available from the market as free. There is a paid version as well though. Not sure how exactly you get it on there without a working market though (if it's not working). Maybe AppBrain or a quick google search for the apk - the free one shouldn't be an issue to get.
[Nook Color General] indeana:
Titanium BU Question

So far, the conversion has gone well. I followed the steps outlined above, except I went from 1.0.1 stock to 1.2 stock and then to 1.3 stock.

I am at the point where I would like to use TBU to restore applications and data. However, I get the following message:

INSTALL BLOCKED

For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market.

How do I unblock? I used to go under Nook Tools but I don't see a tick to enable non-market installs.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
I noticed the check box on the first page, but no lettering now after 1.3. Check and uncheck that one anyway and try it.

[Galaxy S II General] Taco1916:
i've just been changing a few icons on my home scree. everything has been running great, had no problems whatsoever until i tried to access the market this afternoon.

the error im getting is that i need to set up or sign into my gmail account, so i go ahead and chose sign in, then it says:

"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.

This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned

for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."

ive searched all day on the net for a fix, tried unmounting the sd card, removing the sim, signing in via youtube, but nothing works.

what i have noticed is that, in the accounts settings, my gmail address is missing (samsung & regular email accounts are still there).

now, i must say that while i have been messing around with stock icons, i havent touched anything google related, or indeed deleted any apk's.

the last option open to me is a hard reset, which i want to avoid like the plague after weeks of customising my phone, even titanium restore didnt fix it:(

does anyone have anymore ideas what i could do?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Taco1916:
i've had an idea, but will it work?

if i create the same account on my girlfriends galaxy ace, would i be able to transfer those account settings to my phone? if so, where are they located
[Galaxy S II General] Taco1916:
i've just noticed as well, that i'm not getting any emails from my other accounts either:mad:

please....really need some help here guys
[Galaxy S II General] cooza:
You could always re-flash your firmware to get the gmail icon and all the other settings back.I know you said you don't want to but if its disappeared then its a good way to get it back at least and with a nandroid and /or titaniun back-up its not that much work to put all your settings back.
[Galaxy S II General] Taco1916:
ok, reflashing the firmware didnt work. the problem is definitely with servers as i cant add any more email accounts, all are getting server errors.

so....i ask this, what file holds this information? and if i can copy this from my girlfriends phone, will it work?

in fact, does anyone know ALL of the google apk's that should be installed, i have a feeling one is missing/corrupted

[Galaxy S II General] cooza:
Have you frozen something or deleted something with titanium that you shouldn't have?

Try calling your operater to check if you have connection problems or not.After all the warning did say to call.The fact that it just happened suddenly is quite surprising and re-flashing should have put back everything that was missing.
