[Windows Phone 7 General] The420Dank:
Hi all. Loving the Mango WP7... Has anyone taken pictures of their homescreen live tile layouts? I know you have to be dev unlocked to take screenshots but I am anxious to see what other peoples homescreens look like.

I've searched everywhere in the forums and can find android homescreen screenshots but none for wp7. Can someone direct me to the link or can we start a sticky or thread? I have exactly 51 tiles, as soon as I can dev unlock I will post my homescreen or if I figure out how to do it without a dev unlock.

Thanks for any response.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Use a camera and take pictures ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
But.... its just going to look like 51 tiles ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The420Dank:
I've seen someone post one somewhere just can't remember where. With all the screenshots for other os's that's the best us XDA members can come up with?

Wonder if there's a way to pull your homescreen up from the PC emulator.?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex-googler:
Hi folks. I've tried searching on this subject and looks like every thread I've seen on this site related to a stuck Google screen was the result of trying to root the device. My situation is different. I have a stock phone given to me by Google (I'm a former Googler) and up until recently the phone started to go awry whenever I had to reboot it. It would stay stuck at the Google logo. I've tried recover, clearing the cache and also factory wipe and it will always restart and get stuck at the logo. I've found some threads on Google's support forums that mention it may be hardware related with faulty memory being the issue. I'm trying here as a last resort.

The phone is the regular Nexus S 3G for Tmobile. Please help before I smash this phone into the wall.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliiasgar:
I'd try rooting and installing a custom rom. If it works after that and you want it to be stock again you could just reverse the process. If none of that works then I'm guessing it's similar to the other phones with hardware problems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
have you tried manually flashing the stock signed by google rom through your stock recovery yet? it sounds like it got corrupted or has some corrupted data. id try to manually flash it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex-googler:
I can't seem to root it. I've installed the adb drivers and windows detects it whenever I plug the USB in, but I can't unlock it to root it. When I run this command, "fastboot oem unlock" it just keeps trying to detect the phone but never does. I think it's because USB debugging isn't enabled and I can't enable it without being able to get back into the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you need the nexus s drivers go to the pdanet website http://junefabrics.com/android/ and download and install the free version on your desktop. then follow the on screen instructions and it will install the drivers for you. thats the easiest way to install the drivers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex-googler:
I've already installed that. It won't detect the phone properly because I can't enable the USB thing within the android OS since I'm blocked from fully loading up the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
It sounds like the sdcard memory won't mount. This is a hardware issue.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex-googler:
That's interesting you say that because I do notice an error during recovery and selecting data wipe. I had a colleague in the android dept tell me it's most likely bad flash memory.

"E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/userdata"

I'm gonna call Samsung tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jnelson2000:
I have a few Exchange corporate accounts on my phone. After I set them up I went and set both to Data Push. After some time I noticed I wasn't getting my emails so I checked email settings and found that both accounts were now listed under Fetch.

Can people with Exchange acounts set to push please verify if your accounts are reverting to Fetch or does your accounts stay on data push?

Also, please mention if you cannot select data Push for an exchange account.

I have an open case with moto engineers so feedback would be appreciated.

Jeff
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Berzerker7:
It seems it reverts to fetch when it loses its connection with the exchange server, which occurs during wifi/cell network handoffs, or even 3G/4G handoffs. Seems like a pretty stupid bug to me.

[Vibrant General] infestedd:
seens a hard brick. what u did to get this?
[Vibrant General] lazyb421:
Try taking out the battery, starting Odin on your computer, plugging the phone into the usb cable connected to the computer, and while holding both the up and down volume buttons stick the battery back in to get into download mode. From there you should be able to Odin back to stock.

If that doesn't work you're SOL. You'll have to do what was suggested in your thread in general.
[Vibrant General] o0stryxs0o:
If you truly are hard bricked you are gonna need to find a JIG because that's the only way out of that. Other wise take your battery out god down the volume keys and put it back in and you should see the download screen. If you don't somthong deeper is wrong.

**Bionix**
[Vibrant General] sebmw:
You need to purchase a (JIG) like the previous member suggested and try getting in download mode, you can buy one on eBay for about $3 simply search for (Download Mode USB Jig for Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant). I hope this helps.
[Vibrant General] strtkempo:
have odin up pull out your battery plug usb into phone then hold power and volume down and insert battery at the same time this should get you into download mode. It may take 3 or 4 tries to get it. you have to pull battery before plugging mini usb into phone and must do the button combo and while inserting battery it would be easier being an octopus to do this but it should work if it doesnt you will need a jig. It is very hard to fully hard brick vibrants keep trying this method it took me 5 times to get into download. search the vibrant forums for odin for noobs it will give you links to all files you will need to get back to stock and start over. pm me if you need further assistance.
[Vibrant General] davidtanis:
thank you, still trying but no luck. Im going in for surgery for my cancer so wont have much time on the phone for a wile
[Vibrant General] nbhnohome:
It's Hard Brick. Dont waste your money on JIG, it does nothing. You have to JTAG to recover Bootloader on your phone

how dose that work, how much money
[Vibrant General] breakmyhead:
I too have the same problem since this morning. I have Tmobile Samsung Galaxt 4G SGT959V and after rooting and downloading kernel files, it was only going to the T Mobile logo. Last night I was bale to get into the download mode and then I started downloading Gingerbread. Now my phone is not powering up. I called up samsung and as it under warranty, they are ready to fix. My problem is they will find out what I was doing and this might breach some samsung regulation. not sure???:confused:

I would like to know what should I do for getting my phone power on or in download mode. I have tried all the above mentioned steps, but it just not works. :( Duh!!:(

Please someone help!!:)
[Vibrant General] bfranklin1986:

[Vibrant General] breakmyhead:
Well, I was able to get into download mode last night by running odin, pulling battery and connect to usb. Then holding volume button inserted the battery and my ohone was in download mode. But now its not powering on.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickm8384:
Hi I am a follower of LeeDroid on Sensation and thus far have always been able to find the answers to my questions without any issues. But now I am starting to dabble with root on Xoom. Needless to say I had a LOT of issues as it's not nearly as straight forward as my Sensation. I resolved most of my issues and am finally ready to install Team Tiamat's rom. Reboot into recovery, choose the zip and it freezes on Unpacking New Files.... I've been at this all night and really would like to go to bed knowing that it's installed and I can mess with it tomorrow. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for the anticipated help!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scsa20:
Like what excatly is happening? You do have the CWM recovery flashed to the recovery partition, right? What have you've done so far? What guide you've followed thus far?

Pretty much rooting the XOOM is pretty straight forward, unlock the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader, fastboot oem unlock, on xoom press volume down then up and repeat once to unlock), boot back into the bootloader and flash the recovery (adb reboot bootloader, fastboot flash recovery recovery_image_name.img, fastboot reboot), then reboot into the recovery and flash either the root files or the ROM you want to use.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit3192:
^^^

Totally agree. Once custom recovery is installed flashing rom is same as with other devices:

Boot into recovery.

wipe data/reset

install zip

choose zip file

Done

................

Avoid flashing through rom manager.

You need to have custom recovery tailored for Xoom (not what is available through rom manager)

.................
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickm8384:
The rooting process is done and I also have already flashed cwm. The problem is when I go into cwm through recovery and attempt to load the tiamat rom it freezes at the step "unpacking new files"....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit3192:
please check the md5 checksum (given from where you downloaded tiamat).

also flashing takes some time.

do not inturrupt.

Yesterday i flashed it and it took some time(even i thought it is doing nothing).

But it flashed ok.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Have you checked your downloaded file. It may be corrupt.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit3192:
Hehe...

BTW I have flashed international stock version over US MZ604.

It has last update of 3.1 with micro sd support.

It gives a choice of what to mount(internal or sd card)

2 extra wallpaper also there.

Let's see how it performs.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
Are you using the correct version of the recovery? This seems to be a common mistake made by quite a few people. You need to be using this version and loading the ROMs and kernels to a Microsd card. "Newer" versions do not use the microsd card so you would be flashing from the same internal memory that you are trying to flash over.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockhumper:
What he said, read the pre-requisites very carefully on the ROM page. Also what ROM are you trying to download and what version of honeycomb are you currently running? What xoom? Wifi or 3g?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickm8384:
I was finally able to get it done. The issue it turns out was my own impatience coming out. I just had to be patient and eventually it installed.

Thanks for all the help everyone!!!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I'm glad it worked. I know what you mean about being impatient...sometimes it seems like nothings happening and in fact, you just need to hang in a little longer.
[Nook Color General] Midnitte:
Curious to know whether there would any effort to get windows 8 (once they release the ARM preview) running on the nook color? or if anyone would be interested in this?
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
The lack of drivers would make getting Windows 8 on the Nook incredibly difficult, if it'll even meet the minimum specs.
[Nook Color General] Midnitte:
Indeed, but minimum specs shouldn't be a problem, they demonstrated it running on a single core 1 ghz with 1gb of memory.
[Nook Color General] jeremyshaw:
1ghz arm or 1ghz atom/x86?
[Nook Color General] enomai:
The preview version is only available for x86 and x64 right now. We would need an ARM preview build. I don't know that we'll see that as the ARM version will probably be OEM only (my guess).
[Nook Color General] jerrykur:
I wonder if this would be worth the effort. The ARM tablets are likely to be priced below the iPad which makes them pretty affordable. Also, doesn't Windows 8 require DirectX 11 support?
[Nook Color General] enomai:
The previews I saw had them running on AMD fusion processors running DirectX 11 with 2 GB of RAM. Don't know if it's required or not though.
[Nook Color General] cincibluer6:
Windows Developer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7:

1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch

Plan to support ARM in the future but not on the Dev Edition.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
Check here for Windows 8 running on ARM

http://thisismynext.com/2011/09/14/windows-8-arm-tablets-reference-designs-nvidia-qualcomm-ti-shown/
[Nook Color General] Midnitte:
So hopefully they release an arm version of the peview soon, specially since the arm version requires different apps, no?
[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
Forget Windows 8 on the Nook Color, it would be too slow anyway. What we need are

1) New Market fixed for CM7!

2) Ice Cream! Since Honeycomb is not going to go to AOSP this side of he-ell.

Homer
[Nook Color General] life64x:
You hit the nail on the head. Even if we got it on the nook, windows tablet version will be hundreds of megabytes in size just for the rom. IF it did run, highly unlikely considering it will need a whole new set of video, sound and touchscreen driver modifications...the software size alone would choke up the nook. Speed would just not be usable for real world applications.
[Nook Color General] erickleung:
Why? To run MS Office on Nook Color natively? If yes, then we may all to upgrade our SSD to 64G or more. The existing Developer Preview Edition Bare System eats 10G storage space, not counting additional storage to keep all installed drivers or program libraries.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
The ARM version is not included in the dev preview and will most likely be much smaller. That being said I still doubt Windows 8 would be a good experience.
[Nook Color General] erickleung:
Yes. totally agree with you. But very doubt if existing Win32 applications could be transform to ARM version natively? Or Nokia are going to launch any new toys for Windows mobile soon?
[Nook Color General] aludal:
Windows 8 for ARM was demoed back in June for Qualcomm's Snapdragon 3 MSM8060 dev tablet, you can have a look in my blog, the post abound Windows 8 on HP Touchpad. It's not flawless, but not a slouch either. Windows 8 in June was certainly less optimized for ARM than now, that's for sure.

However, as I see it, in 2012 some streamlined/trimmed version of Windows Phone 8 might be available for OMAP3xxx devices (about 5 mln of them, NC included). I wouldn't put much faith in hardware rendering on NC before Jelly Beans, so we'll see.
[Nook Color General] inportb:
I believe Microsoft issued a statement to that effect.
[Nook Color General] gyrfalcon:
I'm running Windows 8 on my nook right now inside a xen hypervisor... It performs okay but sometimes lags when I'm trying to do 3D modeling with Maya. I'd love to share my ROM with you but I don't condone piracy and won't want to violate any NDAs

I m just curious. This Is my first time charging the tab but maaannn its taking forever. I mean forever like 1% every 10mns. That's the slowest charging I ve seen on any device.

So is it supposed to be like that? Always? Just the first time? Or something is wrong with mine?i

EDIT worst case scenario... its stuck at 5% . What to do now?

Are you using the original charger or a PC USB port?

Charging time with the original charger is about 5hrs. More if you are using the device.

If you are charging from a PC USB port then it charges very slow. If you are using the device at the same time then it isn't charging at all.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
I've been seeing a lot of threads (not only here) about ADW and ADW EX, the different settings, how to do certain things, etc. I don't think Ander ever wrote up a documentation so here's my little guide.

Anyone that would like to add anything, PM me and I'll add it in.

Little overview of ADW

ADW (EX) is a home launcher replacement. What does that mean? Well the home launcher, usually just called launcher, is pretty much the main way to get around on your Android device. It's the first thing you see when you turn your device on and it is what all of your apps, folders, and widgets are displayed on. To relate it to something everyone knows just think of your Windows/ OS X desktop. You know the thing you probably stare at saying "What did I want to do?!" and is a cluttered mess of icons? Yeah that's your desktop. The launcher on your device is essentially the same thing.

Quick rundown of the settings

When you first open the settings menu, you will see a list of 9 options. The top 4 are the ones you will be tweaking and constantly going into.

Presets - Profiles of settings that are preloaded into ADW. You can also create your own. Presets are just quick and easy ways to switch different things like icon size, dock type, workspace size, etc. These are only settings, NOT layouts.

UI Settings - The foundation of your launcher. From here you will edit things like Icon size, icon backgrounds, Dock type, the amount of rows and columns your workspace has, the App Drawer, and ADW's Hidden Dockbar. These are the real customization settings.

General Behavior - Name says it all. Screen transition effects, gesture controls, and the way ADW interacts with your device's hardware is all found here.

Theme Preferences - Again, pretty self explanatory. From here you choose what custom ADW theme you want on certain things. You can set 1 theme to cover everything, or use separate themes for icons, the dock background, and the hidden dock.

Backup and Restore - Backs up and restores your settings and icon layout. This does not work with widgets (I believe)

Tips and Tricks

Resizing

To resize a widget, you simply long press a widget until the little pop up menu appears and then click "Edit." The resize feature let's you resize in 4 different diretions (up, down, left, right), kind of like in a Word document. I find this to be a lot better than LauncherPro's because LP forces you to resize diagonally. To have some widgets overlapping, go to ADWSettings > UI Settings > Screen and click the Overlapping Widgets option. After that you can now overlap any widget over another widget or icon. Just remember that if you want a certain widget/icon to be BELOW another widget, the item you want below has to be placed on the screen first. If not, then it won't work.​
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattb3:
Just got a used Nexus S (i9020t) coming from a Vibrant. The number of AOSP based ROMS over here is very refreshing. Anyone have a recommendation for a 2.3.5 ROM that is stable, easy on battery, and fast? (Hey, I want all three). I've been running cm7 on my Vibrant, so I'm familiar with that. Is the last nightly stable? What about the Kanged versions? Should I be swapping out kernels?

Basically I'm looking for a solid ROM that I won't have to (or want to) mess with for a while. Thanks for any suggestions.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
