[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfl:
thank you again but no go...

I tried with no luck,

The memory card mounts into the phone fine and i can use xrec.

What i cant do is when i plug the usb into the computer it does nothing.

All i get is a marker that says charging.

I have even bin able to install through xrec, wolf v4, v5, and currently running v6 with no usb support to flash tif files, SEUS, or transfer stuff on any of them.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colossus:
What other kernels have you tried?

Can you use flashtool?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfl:
im on dooms unlocked boot loader so i cant connect through usb to try a new one... (the only way to try a new one is with a tif file right?)

Thanks,
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colossus:
Flash this with xrecovery then see.

You have bin amazing today but still no luck...

I saw that zip was v4 when i go into about phone it still says v5.

Thank you,
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colossus:
Sorry my mistake, you need to go back to stock kernel first, it is in one of Dooms thread somewhere, sorry i am not on pc now.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfl:
Thank you for the help today i will see what i can find to get back to stock kernal...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfl:
I will be away from the computer for the next few days so i will re open this thread then...

After 8 hours of looking i could not get my phone to connect through usb to flash or manage files.

I think i have narrowed it down to the kernal but i may be wrong.

I am running doomkernal unlocked so without flashing the kernal i have no clue how to fix this since i cant connect through usb.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
could your USB port be dammaged??? just a thought. maybe get a magnifying galss and have a look to make sure all the pins are ok.

Pvy.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfl:
I thought that so I pulled it all apart and the sodder points are all still good.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colossus:
Have you had any luck mate?

If not try these drivers on your pc and then connect your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotundo:
yeah my USB port is going too it sucks. Need to be soooo careful when flashing new kernels now or I may brick it as it's unlocked ;)

If I don't have the wire in just a certain way it senses nothing, and the cable is able to like wiggle around in there like the connection is getting loose. Bad times :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colossus:
Yes i thought my port was on its way out but tried a new cable and everything is fine now.;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfl:
I don't think its my port but at the moment its ask I can think.

The drivers won't help my phone is not even sending the info to say a USB is plugged in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I'm coming from a phone with a trackball... a MyTouch 3G that I had kept current thanks to CyanogenMod. This is much better lol.

I used that trackball though, all the time, mostly for selecting text that I'd screwed up... or to move the cursor between words where I wanted to add a sentence. But sometimes was nice too, for moving to the next form field, or scrolling focus to the "submit" button, etc.

I'm pretty happy with my Swiftkey X keyboard - it's got an option to enable arrow keys. I'm surprised Swype doesn't? I'm used to Swype and really would like to use that.

So my question is twofold:

Any other good keyboards with either a simulated trackpad or arrow keys?

and/or...

How do you live without it? :p I can adapt if I know the tricks.;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
Hackers keyboard is nice. Has the four arrows and a number row. Plus you can enlarge or reduce the keys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diesel556:
The best solution I have found so far is an app called GameKeyboard. The dpad simulates the repeated keypress of a held down arrow key, or joystick (which is essential for many games).

However, it has bugs, and the qwerty mode is slow (you swipe horizontally across the keyboard to switch between gamepad mode and keyboard mode). I enable it specifically for games, and then switch back to my main keyboard (i.e. swype) for everything else.

Here's a link:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shawheim:
in swype there is an arrow option. swype from the swype/option button to the sym/123 button and a arrow keypad comes up. also from sym/123 button to "f" brings up a number pad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drdrewdown:

[EVO 4G General] Joey13192:
let me start off by saying sorry if i am posting this in the wrong section. I am just calling of for help from my xda friends. :confused:

By saying that, i am looking into buying another Evo 4g for my GF witch has a ****ty blackberry for verizon i was wondering if anyone has found out how to flash it over to verizon. now i have done some research and have seemed to get no where. many people said its illegal to copy the esn. that maybe yu can mirror another verizon phones prl. im just stumped on the whole situation. quite frankly idc what kind on htc or android phone it is i would just like to be able to flash to verizon to make her happy. i would really appreciate it if someone would help me out with this. :D
[EVO 4G General] dabbill:
Why use a evo on verizon? ThunderBolt would be much better and should be able to get for the same price.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
Yeah, my boyfriend wanted a phone "like mine" but refused to switch to Sprint. He travels a lot and needs decent speeds. He got the Thunderbolt & it's similar to the Evo. Comes stock with Sense 2.1, but it's still on FroYo. There are Gingerbread roms for it if that's what you're looking for.

It's a newer phone than the Evo but has about the same specs as the Evo. His phone stock matches mine rooted performance-wise, but his battery life is worse than mine.

I think getting a Thunderbolt would be a lot easier than trying to use an Evo on Verizon.
[EVO 4G General] tx_dbs_tx:
Verizon will NOT activate a non-Verizon device on their network. Period. If you choose to clone esn and such illegal measures, you do it at your own risk. Why go through all this trouble and risk being prosecuted for breaking the law when you can just buy a Verizon phone instead? Doesn't make much sense.
[EVO 4G General] Joey13192:
Honestly don't like the thunderbolt and the illegal stuff there are ways around our ii kno it. Was just looking to see if anyone knew them.
[EVO 4G General] Joey13192:
Thanks for the comments tho everyone. I sill will be looking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I love the ET4G. I came from the 3D and as much as I hated the problems with the signal on that phone I liked Sense better.

Which would you prefer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abowlby:
I love my EVO but I actually despise Sense. I think HTC has done a very thorough job of creating an identifying UI and I can see why some like it, but I can't stand the bloated pretense it harbors. IMO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jobryan26:
I am one of the few who likes HTC Sense. TW is a nice change.. something different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
No way. Hate sense. "touchwiz" is just a launcher. We are as close to bone stock as we could be without being totally bone stock and I love it.

To each his own, of course.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
I prefer zeam
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] awesomeindeed:
I liked certain aspects of Sense... but I prefer TW on this phone for sure. Much more simple.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I like TW4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Big fan of Touchwiz here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
Tw good *hulk speak*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
wont lie, if i could get sense running butter smooth like tw4 id take it.

i miss the contact intergration with sense when it comes to facebook and twitter.

by the way if anyone wants to follow me its @JUICEDUP216 lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
coming from the OG Evo, i really like touchwiz 4.0 over any version of sense i was running - tops 2.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I haven't touched a Nexus phone in over a year - is that raw android or does that have a launcher?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Nexus is always stock Android.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
prefer the look of sense but like the fuctionality of tw4
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
Give me a pure AOSP with adw ex anyday over sense/blurr/tw

They all have great little functions but when it comes down to it all of them have something I hate

Id choose tw over sense if a gun was to my head and I couldnt ever get pure aosp
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] difrent7:
Coming from a Nexus and having a Evo before i prefer Pure naked android over anything but this new touchwiz is my favorite manufacturer skin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
Really only miss my Evo 3D lockscreen.

Aosp is boring as hell. I use LauncherPro.

From what I've seen Ice Cream Sandwich will be something worth jumping to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
ICS launcher is already in XDA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I keep hearing this sentiment echoed. Is touchwiz any deeper than a launcher? I don't see any evidence of that. Sure, there are a few Samsung customizations here and there. Device specific options like the Screen mode, etc. Then there is the camera.apk and dialer.apk which is often different from phone to phone. But aside from that touchwiz seems to be just a launcher.

Sense, on the other hand, has it's hooks way deep down in the OS and at times probably in the hardware as well.

I haven't rooted yet, I've been busy, but I will tonight and I'm going to try to yank out touchwiz completely and make it as 'stock' as possible...something tells me that is going to be very easy.

All that said I've gotta admit Touchwiz is nowhere near the abomination that the Sense loving HTC crowd has always made it out to be. Sure, the icons are kinda goofy and the stock homescreen configuration (especially the main screen and wallpaper) is just embarrasing. But that can all be fixed with 10 minutes of no-root-required changes. It's fast, it's straight forward, it's light weight. It just looks like a mildly modified form of the stock launcher. I don't understand what the hate is, but, I also don't see how it is anything more than a launcher with native widgets...there are tons of those out there.

...I've always hated Sense....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monterj:
I like TW because they aren't trying to do too much. I prefer it over Sense, but just by a little bit. I've gone back to Launcher Pro+ though. I am experiencing a little stutter at the start of switching homescreens however, but it's not horrible. I have widgets on every page which is causing this, but I know it's not the phone, but the OS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oddlou:
Sense is too integrated and has too large of a footprint, IMO. I prefer touchwiz to Sense, but pure Android with ADW Ex over both. As it is, I'm using ADW Ex over TW and I love it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Touchwiz. Only because I don't like rosie and touchwiz widgets can be used on other launchers (and I'm quite fond of some of them). On sense the widgets are locked down to rosie
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abowlby:
I have rooted a ton of devices from tablets to phones and I don't specifically recall ever needing to flash an entirely different kernel to do so.

My question is, is a new kernel an understood for root access? I was under the impression root was, well...access, to system files and the like.

I'm actually pretty sure devices have been rooted PRE kernel source being released, and that source is more conducive to custom ROMs than anything else.

If someone who knows could clarify, I would be grateful and I also think it may begin to explain why some folks are *LOSING* functionality with root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SAShady:
The kernel is the heart of the OS. when the kernel is rooted, so is everything else

People are losing functions because the source code from Samsung is jacked up, and the devs are trying to pull it together
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
Same thing I thought when I first bought my samsung vibrant... They whereusing the international galaxy s kernels untill samsung released sourcs to the current/up to date one... Samsung is know for latd updates and failed source codes

Well thats my opinion but they do make great hardware and tvs lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abowlby:
You aren't kidding about the TVs. I was at Sears and they had a Sammy glasses free 3D set up like 64" or something, Avatar was playing...literally jaw dropping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
Yeah I got a 52" there so nice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diesel556:
Another way to achieve root without replacing the kernel is with an exploit that takes advantage of a bug i.e. in the bluetooth stack to temporarily gain elevated (SU) privileges and use it to install permanent root, flash a new recovery, etc. That's probably the kind of root method that you are more familiar with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abowlby:
Ahh, that makes sense. See, a few devices I've rooted have been pretty straight forward. But the the OG rooting process on the Nook Color was odd as hell, and then the choice of booting SD or eMMC was another consideration to take. The process of rooting Tablets seems to be somewhat similar to this one floating around for the ET right now.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sciacallo010:
I have a problem that i noticed when i started to use poweramp and than with playerpro, i don't remember if this happened with the stock player too.

I have a lot of songs that i put in my microsd, which had the right tag on my pc and in the firsts time on the phone, but after some time some songs changed, for example, the artist name to Unknown Artist, and now even if I change them the tag it remain like this.

What can i do to solve this issue? is this problem caused by the player or by something else?

Thanks everybody
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
Is anyone else having issues with the USB-microUSB cable provided by Samsung?

I have had trouble physically getting it plugged into the charging block and staying seated. However, my biggest issue is connecting it to my laptop. I plug it in, connected to nothing on the micro end and Windows tries to install drivers and eventually errors out. Then I can't connect my phone at all. I had to use my cable from my HTC EVO to get the ODIN connection for rooting working properly.

I seem to remember when my mom got her Samsung Transform, we had similar issues with the USB-microUSB that came from Samsung and we had to use my cable to root her phone too.

What is with Samsung and shotty USB cables?

Can anyone point me in the direction to add the /data/app/ functionality to a rom, manually? I was using dsixda's kitchen, but its not working right for some reason anymore. I really want to use it on cm7 as I like to customize my rom before install. But it would be nice to know how to do it on any rom, if there is a difference. Thanks in advance...

Sent from another Dimension!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Not sure I follow the question. A ROM installs based on its updater-script file and contents in the .zip.

If the zip has files in /data/app and the updater-script instructs package_extract_dir data/app to /data/app then all the files in the .zip's data/app will be copied over to the device's /data/app directory.

Hopefully that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
Thank you! It helps a little. Lol. But I know nothing about the updater-script. So I guess that's my next venture. I just want to add apps to my initial install of cm7. I'm slowly trying to build up my knowledge of how this all works. Is there a good thread on how to modify or build and updater-script, so I can mess around with it?

Sent from another Dimension!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
to answer your question specifically:

two steps:

1)add your apk files to a data/app directory inside the .zip file. 7zip works great for modifying zip files in windows.

2) add this line to the updater-script: package_extract_dir("data/app/", "/data/app/");

to answer your question generally about help on creating a ROM .zip file:

I've covered the topic a few times in answering specific questions. I did a quick google search for xda joeykrim updater-script to try and find my previous posts. i generally provide more information than is requested by the poster and link to other posts/guides to make sure i've covered most of the common issues. here are a few:
