[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miektan:
sixaxis over 360 control

I really like the dpad on the sixaxis more for classic games due to clearly defined up/down/right/left rather than the large disk with nubs... just my preference though I might just be too picky.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
So with the extra stick on the six axis control does it make say golden eye way easier to play ?

I have a xbox 360 but don't have a ps3 so is wether its worth the extra cost really
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamemastery4k:
how do you do that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brsingr:
help.

So I got a Blue PS3 Controller today and im trying to set it up to have the Cbuttons on the RIGHT analog stick, The Left as the main analog and the d-pad as the d-pad.

Im using n64oid 1.1.4 because that is the highest one that works with CM7 Nightly build 253.

And using the six axis app(forgot what it is fully called)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brsingr:
I figuered out that I had to set the Hardware keys on the main Nook settings first(mapping each ps3 button to a letter or number) then going into the n64oid settings and go to hardware keys and setting them there.

This is for all those who have updated to gingerbread XXKPH and receiving push mail, gmail synchronization, whats app message or similar applications synchronization issues on GPRS/EDGE when the device is in sleep mode.

I have made some changes in build.prop and push mail, whats app messages are synchronized when the device is in sleep mode. To test the same my device is on EDGE and i an receiving message and push mails.

Extract build.prop from attached zip file to /sdcard

Step 1: rename orignal build.prop to build.prop.orig

Copy and paste to /system

Reboot twice

Step 2: Go to adb prompt (adb shell) and ensure you have # sign. Execute the below commands

mount -o remount rw /system/

mv /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.orig

cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop

Edit (Date: 23/09/2011):

The latest files are at below location

http://www.multiupload.com/66J2IGMX2A

The location is as per folder structure. Replace them with your original files. These are deodexed files; hence if you have odexed version, remove the odes file for the same. Odex is applicable for /system/app and you can check for /system/framework.

Once done, reboot the device. Go to setting > account and uncheck auto sync and reboot. Again go to auto sync and check auto sync.This time reboot into recovery and wipe cache. Reboot the device.

You will get TWLauncher4

Take backup of files so that of this doesnt work, you should be able to revert back. I have given these files to few testers but only recevied one feedback (not working). I have tested this and it works fine even when phone is in deep sleep (30 minutes and more)

Edit (10 Nov 2011):

Softlocker works but drains battery quickly. Here is the latest fix for non sync of mails over 2g or 3g data connection. Have tested it for 3 days. Works fine but you need to test for activity time yourself.

Go to market and install the app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gejos.android.wakemyandroidpro

Enable this app and set the invisible wake time. Note that this app allows your device to sleep but not deep sleep; hence battery drain is bare minimum. I charged my batteru 100% in the morning and after 3 hours i have 78% battery. In this i have 30 mins of music, data sync and wifi for an hour.

4 mins work accurately for me and if i set time to 9 mins, i get notification delay of 2-3 minutes. You need to decide yourself.

Secondly open build.prop and add below two lines in the end of the file:

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1

pm.sleep_mode=1

This should help in conserving battery.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Stefanhvt:
Ive done a quick test on gmail receiving and this fix seems to work good.

However I am still wondering why the xxkph firmware is released with this issue ?

Is this something Samsung had integrated on purpose ?

Can't imagine :confused:

Anyway, thanks for this fix .. I was looking out for this.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Stefanhvt:
I had a second look .. And it's not working !

Have you tested this yourself fully ?

I think it's still not 100 % fixed ..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
I have tested it and using it. Can you tell me the scenario when it is not working?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lubob2011:
Thanks Bhaji for ur efforts to help me.God bless you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
hmm I flashed back to xxkph and I'll try this later, has everyone else who were having this problem tried it yet?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Stefanhvt:
For now what ive noticed is that it only works on sleepmode for 5 minutes. When the phone is in sleepmode for longer than 5 minutes than no notification will appear.

I'm not 100 % sure that I fully completed the procedure to install this files. For what Ive seen there is now a new rom wich has this fix build in. I will try this later on this day. I will report you my findings when I have fully tested it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Which is the new ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] XDA_Bam:
To make this a little more transparent: As far as I can tell, jaskiratsingh made three changes in the build.prop (correct me, if I'm wrong). The lines

# ro.ril.hsxpa=1
# ro.ril.gprsclass=10

are commented out (#). I don't know, what this does. Further, the line

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1

has been added. This should suppress some kind of deep sleep mode (see here). I found this to actually lower the power consumption in standby on my phone - weird stuff.

I have seen the tweaked build.prop and tested that but got the issue in that too.

Try another thing: Install SetCPU and change the governor and then test. I am using performance. Kindly try the build.prop from this and let us know.

I'm on froyo now but I'm considering to go back to gingerbread and than I will try.

One question .. Do I really need to follow your complete procedure, step 1 and 2, or can I just replace the file with root explorer ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Shaglok:
Thanks for trying, but it keeps the same. I think I'll "upgrade" again to Froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] XDA_Bam:
Tried all options now, but sadly, my issues with third party apps not syncing weren't solved, either. :(

I'm beginning to ask myself, what is different on our phones. :confused: Because a lot of people use gingerbread, but don't have any of these problems...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Stefanhvt:
I can not understand this eather. It is very strange that even samsungs itself is atmitting that this phone has some limitations when it comes to firmware development.

Correct me if Im wrong, but this is what Ive heard ..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Just replace the file using root explorer
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
I will look into this in a day. I don't think people who use gb have noticed this issue. Consider me, I never noticed this issue until it was written in forum.

Can you overall cpu spy and check if your phone goes into deep sleep mode. Also can you add power widget and see if synchronising is enabled there cause I cannot see any option in my power widget
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] XDA_Bam:
Yes, and yes. Phone is in deep sleep 90% of the time, and sync is enabled. Background data is activated, too.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Shaglok:
Same here. I hope you could find a fix for this. I'll wait for you before downgrading to Froyo again.

Thanks in advance, anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
This deep sleep disconnects the data and that's what build.prop changes had. Will update asap.
[LG Optimus Black] aprold:
I have run into a situation where several scripts and/or applications all presume /system partition being writeable while one of them remounts it read-only and others start complaining about it. Not a big deal to remount it again, but made me think why does it need to be read-only in the first place? Is it only for protection? Protection against who? Me? In case I accidentally do something irreversible there? I don't think so. Against malicious applications I might have downloaded from the Market? Probably so. Does anyone know a better reason for needing it to be definitely read-only?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Bump.

I guess it's security protection, because files written to it may cause problems.

It's just my opinion, without proper knowledge about it.. :p :D
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yeah, it's security.

It's like having Windows without UAC and anti-virus and every application runs as administrator.
[LG Optimus Black] aprold:
Me, me and me ;) These annoying UAC prompts are first thing to be turned off after install, anti-virus is not set to real-time scanning although I run it when I feel anything suspicious happening, and administrator account is the only account I use ;) However, in firewalls I believe. A friend of mine once said that a computer that attracts all these viral, fungal and such sort of things is a *****. Call me stupid if you wish but I have never gotten into any trouble so far.

But I promise to be careful, at least until Android/Linux world is not an uncharted territory for me any more. Thank you all for your inputs!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I second that.

I've never used AV or UAC.

I believe the best anti-virus is: common sense.

Thanks if so!!!

I didn't brick mine, but I'm sure others will be happy to see this.

It was 5.5.959 that was released from VZW and 5.6.890 is the latest leak. What is this? 5.5.1? 5.5.184? Either is significantly earlier than 5.5.959, but the date stamp shows Aug 12, 2011, so I am intrigued. Hopefully the version number just isn't accurate.

[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Is this a surefire unbrick method? @techdigital, what version is does it says your phone is running? Also, does one click root still work? If so this is amazing news and perhaps our ticket to finally getting the courage to put some roms on this bad boy.
[Motorola Droid 3] the2dcour:
Pretty sure the version # is accurate. Either way you should be able to OTA to the latest version if this returns you to stock (which it should).

If it can be flashed through fastboot/RSD it's about as "surefire" as you'll get without access to nvflash. Just don't much around with your Bootloader and you should be fine ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
You're the man.

Just waiting to hear from someone who flashed it. I'm curious about the version number as well. Just want to know if that's the number that actually shows on the phone and if the root exploit is still in effect.

Edit: Just saw that you replied to my post. Sounds great, I can start on some themes now. ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] techdigital:
Yep its surefire STOCK 2.3.4 everything is working....:)

[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
One question - if I put the file "swu.zip" into the root of /sdcard and name it "update.zip", will I then be able to restore to stock from fastboot without using a PC?

If this works, it'll allow me to mod the phone while on the move, but have a get-out-of-jail card to restore to stock at any point. I spend a lot of time commuting, so this would allow me to use my D3 to learn more about android when I'd normally just be using it to watch Family Guy :-)
[Motorola Droid 3] caitstoppable:

[Motorola Droid 3] spindizy:
Ok, what about this....

I got CWMR flashed, with hashcode's tweak so its supposed to be available via bp-tools... and it is.. kinda..

I broke the phone while trying to flash a rom I shouldnt have.. Im no noob, been doing this stuff since the G1 :D

Anyhow.. Broke the phone, go to bp-tools, and CWMR comes up, but its all blurry and skewed, unreadable, but I know thats what it is by the colors of the blurs on the screen.. Anyhow, I made a nandroid before I started playing... I cant read the text in CWMR well enough to decipher what anything says to restore the nandroid.. So, I take forever and get swu.zip downloaded, but when I finally get everything set up, fastboot shows everything OK.. I go to flash and WHAM.. Instantly, error on the first file "remote: Battery Low" and I look, sure enough, it says battery low now... *facepalm*

How the hell can I charge this thing to get it flashed without it being able to boot??

Any ideas?

How do I get a backup the device, like this?

I change a libaudio.so, but not change de permission to 644, and my device not boot up. And when I connect with adb I cannot root access.

But my device is the xt860, so this firmware not work on it.

RSD Lite only recovery file to phone, not the phone to file.

So I wanted to try out the Liberty Rom. I went through all the right steps. I had hash's bootstrap installed an everything. It didn't work. I used RSD on the phone (like the times I have before). It boot looped. Did it again. It boot looped. And again, and again it did it every-time I RSD flashed it. Finally this morning I found a way to fix that, if it happens to anyone else. After you RSD flash the phone and it starts to boot loop:

1. Hold M + Power button

2. Go to recovery.

3. Press volume down.

4. Go to wipe/factory settings.

5. It will wipe everything.

[Motorola Droid 3] lunacie:
I find the easiest way to recover from a softbrick is to moto-fastboot. RSDlite was just flaking out too much, and fastboot is faster.

To do that, follow instructions here:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-droid-3-fastboot-files-55959-and-56890/

there's a bunch of stuff there - but if you follow instructions step by step (I used the p3droid method from post #3 since the first entry was not available when I did this procedure) it should work no problem.

Got me out of a jam!

Something happened when I flashed CM7, and I was 'soft bricked'. I couldn't get past the beginning Motorola Dual Core splash screen (Never even made it to the Eye boot animation).

I was able to get my phone back to stock (890) with this. I used the 'moto-fastboot-osx64' on my Mac Pro, and "flashed" each partition according to Post #84 in this thread.

The only issue I kept running into was things acting "frozen" when 'sending' each image to the phone. You have to boot into "AP Fast Boot" on the phone, and then send each image separately. When I sent the firs file, using this CLI command, I had to ctrl-c out of it, since it was stuck on 'Sending' for over 5 min. Here's the output of my command:

BGarlockMacPro:SBF-related bruceg$ ./moto-fastboot-osx64 flash recovery files/recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (9216 KB)...
^C
BGarlockMacPro:SBF-related bruceg$
BGarlockMacPro:SBF-related bruceg$
BGarlockMacPro:SBF-related bruceg$ ./moto-fastboot-osx64 flash recovery files/recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (9216 KB)... OKAY [ 0.542s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 1.381s]

I'm not sure why it hung, but thankfully, the phone was NOT 'hard bricked' which is what I feared, especially since this was the recovery partition! Phew!!

(BTW: When I think bricked, I think of something that has become a brick! - no going back, toss it away. But, it seems like the community has two different definitions of bricked; 'soft bricked' and 'hard bricked'. Why not just use the term 'un-bootable' and keep the word 'brick' as its original intention to describe a piece of HW that has been rendered useless??) But, I digress. :-)

If anyone else needs any help with using OS X to flash this, please PM me, and I'll try to help you out. The most helpful post in this thread was from psouza4, on post #84: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17427668&postcount=84

Since this is my first time ever having to mess with a Fastboot or SBF to get my phone back in working condition, I started writing a step by step HOWTO, since it seems like I had to search around for methods on how to do certain things (Like getting the phone into AP Fast Boot mode). There just wasn't one HOWTO that had everything I needed answered in one place (If there is, please let me know). Hopefully I can get some time to put my entire experience in a neatly formatted HOWTO..

Thanks again to 'psouza4' and 'the2dcour' for this thread. Saved my butt!!!!
