@anonymous i got a boot loop while i was applying a theme

and this was written in addictive tips

It has been brought to our attention that the following method will not work for some devices running stock ROMs because their manufacturers have made the ridiculous decisions of either using their own proprietary format for their boot animations (we’re talking about you, Samsung!), or choosing a non-standard path for the bootanimation.zip file and removing the ability to override it by copying a new one to /data/local (that would be you, HTC!).

Please confirm and can you provide a link for custom boot animation for ace ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
any bootanimation will work on any rom, but theme is different story.

are you sure it will work on odex fw ? another member told me u have to be deodexed
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
i'm not 100% sure, just my understanding is bootanimation doesnt have anything to do with odex/deodex. its just merely a zip file, not apks. well u can try on odex rom, just make cwm backup incase something goes wrong ;)

looks like some people r still having trouble with getting custom ringtones on mango.. it's simple..

ringtone file need to be:

1. wma/mp3 format

2. less than 39 seconds in length

3. less than 1 MB

step 1. get the ringtone file right

step 2. add it to zune collection

step 3. locate it in zune collection (in zune software). set it's genre to "Ringtone" (right click and properties will do)

step 4: sync with phone

u'r done. u have this file in the ringtones list.

this guide may be there in other threads. but since hd2 users r new in mango and tend to look for solutions in hd2 wp7 section, i thought posting it here might help. if mods think it's useless, pls delete it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Folow:
I just didn't found the Ringtone genre so I edited my file by a right click on it and change de genre to Ringtone, then added the file to zune, working fine ;)

I searching how do you delete one ringtone you added?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] thehustler:
To delete a custom ringtone from the phone do the following.

Go to Settings > Ringtones+Sounds > Click on Rintone drop down to get list of ringtones. Long press on the ringtone that you want to delete and then select Delete fom the menu that appears.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Folow:
Thanks a lot, I tried it in the alarm section but there whas nothig.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mikeeed:
MP3s work too

I used MP3s, just made the genre "ringtone", sizes as you stated, then sent them with Zune. "Play that funky music" cranking out in a meeting when I get a call is awesome! I need to update my sig, using BTTF 7720.68.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] michael.hu:
I'm worked well with this way, thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] malsehn:
maybe sounds stupid, but how to add a track to zune? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2-WP7:
just put the file in your monitored music folder (zune-> settings->collection)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] malsehn:
and afterwards just plug the phone and let zune sync? and then it'll be found under settings-ringtones and notifications, right?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Rosetti:
Connect your device to your pc and Zune will start synchronisation.

Go to your music folder, right click on the ringtone file, and then edit (bearbeiten), genre -> Ringtone.

After that just click and hold on the ringtone file and drop it in your device icon (bottom left icon).

Hey one short question is it possible to change the alert sounds or sms/email incoming sound.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Wyn6:
Has anyone put custom ringtones on their DVP? I've used several different audio editors and ringtone makers, changed the genre to ringtones/RingTones but nothing.

Drag and drop it to the phone and it shows up in songs instead of ringtones + sounds.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] malsehn:
i've done so, but every time zune comes up with a message "due to a temporarily server problem blah blah blah" and the desired tone wasn't synced :( with other music the drag 'n drop works very well.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] freaky01:
hey folks,

maybe it helps a bit to complain your files with my ringtones:

Ringtone Zip file unzip it and sync them with Zune.

I´m using Goldwave to cut and edit the Tracks.

Mp3tag to edit the ID3 tag.

And Zune to sync.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] casemandan:

my tilt 2 has been working perfect up until last night when it turned off and wont turn back on. The phone makes a hiss when it it plugged in without the battery and the orange charge light does come on. Also i got the phone to turn on for a split second and then it shut off on me and wont turn back on again. I tried replacing the battery, reset, and all of the usual troubleshooting options. Does anyone have any advice
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skanman911:
It's probably possible to get the data but that rom uses hardware video encoding and would most likely be unusable because the encoding never completed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetCochese:
I'm at a loss as to why development hasn't begun on rooting the Vizio tablet.

There have been a few hints thrown out by Vizio techs that rooting involves an sdcard.

Thoughts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetCochese:
Anyone in the dev community have one of these yet? I'm considering trying to root it myself but I'm still learning.

What has been required of rooting past devices?

Its been suggested that Gingerbreak and other conventional root methods have failed due to the odd internal memory/SD card directories..

Thoughts?

How do we get a dev or two interested in this device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R2N2:
I also do not understand why the Vizio hasn't received more 'root' attention. Perhaps it is too recently released, perhaps the experts are busy working elsewhere, or maybe Honeycomb has enthralled the hackers leaving us wee Gingerbread users to fend for ourselves. Like your message suggests, it may be up to us neophytes.

I know Unix/Linux reasonably well enough, though I have no immediate knowledge of how to hack for root. So, I am also trying to learn what is needed. The crux of rooting is to find a method to get a process 'suid', a.k.a. root privilege. Once that is achieved the OS is rooted and sustained rooting can be done. At least that's my take on the process at the moment.

I have adb (Android Debug Bridge) working on my Win7/64 system. I've tried Gingerbreak-v1.20 and SuperOneClick-v2.1.1 with no success. So now it's a race between me and Vizio. Do I/we crack the OS or does Vizio bring out the Honeycomb version of Android for the VTAB1008?

I am guessing that vizio is probably throwing in the towel today as Amazon just ate their lunch. A $200 tablet that smokes our Vizios in every way imaginable.

The dev community will probably jump on the Amazon tablet as fast as possible, and pretty much everything else is toast.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetCochese:

Holy crap. Its dual core. I just looked it up.

Gonna preorder tonight. I'm still within my Vizio return period!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetCochese:
I just preordered a Kindle Fire.

I'm on the fence about returning my VTab. If it gets rooted, I'll be inclined to keep it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jseymour:
"Every way imaginable?" Hardly. No camera. No SD card slot. No GPS. No Bluetooth? No access to the 'droid app store. Skinned and constrained to keep you on AOL... er, Amazon.

*snort* Yeah, right.

Even were that true: The "dev community" is not the whole of the Android, much less the tablet, world. This may come as a shock: But some people actually just use their devices as-delivered, other than to install apps and add some hardware accessories.

Sorry if I'm coming across kinda harsh on my first post here, but breathless hyperbole seems to me better-suited to an American Idol or Big Brother web site, or perhaps a marketing or stock-trading forum, than to a development venue.

Jim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetCochese:
Wow, I ASSumed the Fire would have simple stuff like that.

Well, that explains the price. Why bother with a dual core proc and no supplemental features, like Bluetooth!!!

They really are trying to make it an IPad.

Interesting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jseymour:
Not even in the same class. It's designed to be a Nook-killer.

I like Amazon well enough. Other than their free shipping has turned very lame, I've always been satisfied with them in every respect. But their overwhelming market dominance I think is bad juju, so my VTAB has only Nook installed, and I'll henceforth go first to B&N for my reading purchases.

Jim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetCochese:
Every review I've seen is comparing it to the ipad, but I digress.

I have 50 books on Kindle and none on Nook. I don't think I could make the switch.

DetCochese,

I don't think you've been looking very hard: My quest to root my Vizio VTAB108 Tablet and how I enabled ADB access

That thread was on the first page of the Android Q&A forum for a goodly portion of yesterday.

Jim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetCochese:
I am aware of both that thread and the one regarding booting into recovery.

Both of which are grassroots attempts by folks such as myself to obtain root. I applaud their efforts and wish them success.

That said Jim, my desire is to see interest in this device from well established platform developers, such as the Cyanogen Mod team.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jseymour:
Ah, ok. Sorry for the mis-impression.

Jim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetCochese:
No apology needed.

As soon as someone comes up with a way to reconfig the file structure of the SD card to /sd from /sd external or whatever abomination Vizio came up with, conventional root methods will succeed. At least that's my prediction.

I'm too much of a newb to know how to alter the /sd card file structure.

I just installed and PATH'd ADB 5 minutes ago. :D

Lunch time!

Thanks for the link. I tried to perform this method; however, there is no "cmdclient" program in the /system/bin directory. I don't know what "cmdclient" does nor do I know what "ec_micswitch". If you have any ideas about cmdclient I'd be interested.

This is a shame. It looks like at the time of product announcement, the tablet was already rooted before release. I have tried Gingerbreak 1.1, 1.2, z4root, superoneclick all w/o success. I was able to access it via adb shell thanks to info posted here. Still, no root.

I don't care about a custom rom right now, I just want root.

vtab1008 & root & reward offer

I tried to get my guy interested, but he says "I have real work to do"

sheesh! he's writing yet another cloud computing platform. plenty of those in the world. Booooring!

Anyhow I ordered him a tablet and he should get it this week and maybe he'll become interested. I mean, his living room is full of IR controllable gadgetry, how could he NOT become interested :)

I'm irritated. Talked to vizio first level support a couple of weeks ago and they said that this thing can't be rooted. Honestly. I don't even do that sort of thing and I felt motivated to try.

Anyhow I don't really want to replace vizio's distribution, i just want to fix a few little problems, maybe add some live wallpaper ... oh, and clock sync. What idiot thinks that a device doesn't need to sync the time from somewhere? Oh, that was Google, my bad.

It bothers me that these things when they reset to .... don't really reset to factory, they reset to most recent OTA version. I hate that sh*&. If I had known that I would have kept at least one of these things away from the net for a while. I think my first three shipped at 2.2 but now they are all 2.3. I may use that as justification for returning/exchanging one - demand the android 2.2 they sold me. It's not like there was any informed consent regarding the forced upgrade.

I thought it was pretty interesting when I saw the boot menu for the first time. Just makes lil ol me think that one of you guys oughtta get this thing under control soon. I'd be willing to pay some money to a person who could hand me my dream - root on the existing distribution and the ability to block future forced upgrades.

I really like the hardware (mostly) and I decided that this is what everybody is getting for christmas this year, but OMG I am becoming real familiar with some of the quirks as I configure/personalize them one by one for family and friends.

And I gotta say, there are a whole lotta android apps that the market thinks are incompatible but which I'm using on the vtab on a daily basis with no greater issues than when using the same apps on my phone (original droid).

truthfully, this baby has no more oomph than my phone, maybe live wallpaper would be a bad idea.

oh well

At least with the TPT, I get some extra stuff I wanted.

I had to come up with extra money for the TPT, but I found it CHEAP at TECHONWEB.com

It's down to $405 for a 16GB model. Honeycomb 3.1. SD, HDMI, USB, plus a stylus, keyboard and dock. I paid about $600 for everything. I also sold my Dell Latitude DUO I wasn't using and after all is said and done, I dumped the VTab and DUO, bought a loaded ThinkPad Tablet with every accessory and made $150.

I have replied to you in the Vizio ADB root thread. I have looked at the Gingerbreak source code as well as the output produced when running it. I don't think it is due to the sdcard location issue.
