[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irobbie:
MZ601 Xoom on 3.1HC wifi + 3G rooted using Universal Xoom Root. Now wish to be able to use USB Host mode. Have followed the instructions in [ROM] Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.1 - Moray [18/9/11] including performing a factory reset (Wipe data/factory reset) from within recovery, and then selected "Install zip from sdcard" and selected the Tiamat zip file. The system reports that it is opening the file but then immediately aborts with the above message.

Assuming that the download was not successful I then downloaded again, went through the whole procedure again but came up with the same error. Hmmm this is a bit of a mystery.:confused:

So, is 2.2.0 a prerequisite of 2.2.1 and should I have tried to flash that first? Or could there be something else that this old fart :o is missing? I guess it must be the latter judging by all the success stories on here. Can somebody please help?

Irobbie.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
So, just to clarify, you are rooted and attempting ti install the Moray Rom, and your Xoom is giving you an error that it can't access the sdcard to flash the Moray file.

My first question is, what version of CWM recovery are you using and is your Moray file on your external micro sdcard which is inserted in your Xoom?

It sounds like you are trying to flash from the Xoom's internal "sdcard" which doesn't work (unless you have the Rogue recovery installed).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irobbie:
Thanks for your reply.

Regarding the recovery mode version, in recovery mode my Xoom tells me "Clockwork Recovery V3.2.0.0 (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150).

Using "My Files", I have confirmed that the Zip file doesn't exist on the "Internal" storage, but does exist on the external SD card. This is where the Universal Xoom Root zip file sits and where it was installed from. The root zip file installed smoothly, and as far as I know I followed the exact same steps in trying to install the new rom. So I remain confused.

Once again thanks for your reply and any further help will be appreciated.

Irobbie
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Ok, Sounds like you should be set regarding recovery. I'm pretty sure that you should be able to go right to Moray 2.2.1.

First, confirm that your sdcard is good and working properly by inserting it into a phone or a card reader. It could be as simple as a bad card. Also, you could redownload the file, but I think it's most likely your sdcard.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irobbie:
Thanks for getting back to me.

I replaced the SD card with another from my mp3 player and checked it out by loading up a song and playing it. No problems. So then I moved the zip file for the rom (which I had previously re-downloaded) over to the root of the sd card from my PC and proceeded through the steps again. Failed again. The message sequence reads:

--Installing: /sdcard/Tiamat-Xoom-rom-2.2.1-Moray.zip

Finding update package... (So its gone looking)

Opening update package... (And it is found?)

E:Can't open /sdcard/Tiamat-Xoom-Rom-2.2.1.Moray.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted

Hmmm. Just to check that the sd card is still viable, after reboot went back to "files", sdcard, music and selected a song and it played as normal. Also checked that the Tiamat rom zip file is on the card and yep, it is. So tomorrow morning I will download the zip file once again and retry. If you can think of anything else it will be much appreciated.

Irobbie.:confused:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
If you can check to make sure the downloaded file is the right size that will be great. also make sure that you don't add another.zip file extension on the end, somehow. Some pcs are set up to hide file extensions and that's been a problem a few have encountered.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irobbie:
The mystery deepens! Well, for me at least.

Re: zip file extra extension, have show extensions switched on, and there is no extra extension.

So on to file size, it looks the same to me on each download so I went a bit further. I noticed the link to the file has a MD5sum check noted. So I downloaded an open source file "Sigma Informatics Checksum calculator", pointed it to the rom zip file and ran the check, and then cut and pasted the original number from the thread and got the calculator to do a check. Bingo - exactly the same!

So then copied the file from the Xoom back to the PC, ran the same checks and got different answer!

OK, I deleted the rom zip file from the Xoom, copied another over from the PC, then recopied it back to the PC to a different location, ran the check sum, got the correct answer, so now I knew I had a correct file on the Xoom.

Next, reran the installation of the Rom - failed again with the same results and messages as before.

Then copied the Rom zip file back to the PC to another location, ran the checksum and different answer popped out again. Well, could it be that the zip file is being corrupted during the install and that is why it fails? I've never heard of that sort of thing happening before but I suppose it is possible.

Your continued support is much appreciated.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
It seems like I have heard of this happening, but why? What would cause that? Can you use a different method to copy the Rom file to the sd card? Using an adapter, and inserting the card directly into the sd slot of the pc? Download right onto the card?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irobbie:
Thanks for the reply and suggestions again.

To make absolutely sure I eliminated everything possible; I went out and bought a new micro sd card, and card reader with a micro sd card slot. Plugged it altogether into the pc and copied over a copy of the rom zip file.

Then did a checksum check on the file on the sd card and it was fine.

So, holding breath, puff, puff, puff, started the procedure all over again.

SUCCESS! It all went as smooth as silk! Thanks for your help and suggestions. But now I am left with a concern about where the problem really was - was it in the copying of the file onto the card through the Xoom, or was it, in fact, a bad card? I don't want to discard the card because it seems to be o.k. in every other respect so I think a little play around is in order. I think in all probability you are right in questioning the process I was using before, and recommending that the file be copied directly to the sd card.

But in the meantime I'm off to explore the new rom and in particular USB hosting.:D
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Yes! I love success!

Enjoy.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
Alright, I'm wondering how well having a single button works when using the nook as full sized tablet.

my girlfriend has the stock software loaded.. And It works alright for a very casual, no need to get things done fast atmosphere.. (which anyone who buys it as an ereader rather than modders tablet is probably expecting.)

The problem I have is I am use to my phone which has the 4 standard android buttons. I am wondering if I got this, or the kindle fire how well having one or possibly no buttons is going to work.

Just seems like when using it for a full sized tablet, it may get frustrating if you need to do anything fast or your trying to be a bit more productive.

What are your personal experiences?

If you use CM it has softkeys just like all the honeycomb tabs.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
Thanks, I may see if I can get my gf to try CM on her Nook then.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Just load it on an SD card (search the forums for verygreens guide). That way her stock stuff will remain intact and all you have to do is remove the card to boot to it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
Yeah, That was my general idea.

It is a very nice feature and I wish that manufacturers would encourage this type of flashing.

It would be awesome if I could just spend 50$ on a few sd cards and load a different rom to reach one to try em out.

FYI, you will probably see it, but if you are going the SD card route, try to get a Sandisk card above all others. I was using an a-data card for a while and kept getting random problems. The class isn't as big of a deal, but supposedly the Sandisks have the best random access performance.

Great job. I've just received my A2000 and was desperately looking for a way to improve it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] camisaroja:
Hi all, recently purchased a Star A9000, dual sim, capacitive screen, I think it belongs to this generation of A2000, A3000, etc ... wanted please post information on this phone (software, reviews, tools, roms, optimizations, etc.), and thus learn even more ... thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] byteshertz@hotmail.com:
**Post removed and added to main thread**
[Miscellaneous Android Development] byteshertz@hotmail.com:
The A9000 is a chinese clone, english reviews, support or any kind of information are hard to come by. There is 2 main sources of information for our models - one is chinese at http://m44.com.cn and the other is Russian at http://4pda.ru/forum (I couldnt find A9000 on this one but Im sure its there somewhere.

What is your experience level with android modification? because I would suggest if you are not an advanced level leave it alone until someone who has your phone and has modified it can tell you how in english.

That information will be on those sites but you are on your own in translating it all my friend - it can take a long time to workout what people are talking about and wouldnt suggest it if you are not technically minded and very patient.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] camisaroja:
Ok, thanks for the info, I have more or less a month since I bought this phone, and so far so good, I've been testing some applications, although I have not done much, like you, I searched in google and has been little or what I have achieved nothing by chance I found this forum yesterday and saw the Star A9000 mentioning here.

I wanted to clarify a doubt about what you said above about the sound profiles: to work really all I have to apply to modify the F0 to F5 all? Or just use one?. Let me explain better, I want it louder when I play music from your phone, and I also listen better and stronger the voice of the person I'm talking about ... Thanks and I hope you understand.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pyan68:
The CW recovery worked on my A1000. It says the (permanent) version is 4.0.0.5 as compared to the temporary version of 3.0.0.8. Finally got my 1st Nandroid backup after previous attempts with many versions of CWs & RAs failed.

On the downside, I think I physically messed up the phone's USB port. Windows can't detect the phone anymore unless you wiggle the cable & got lucky it made proper contact. With the price paid for such phones, I have no complaints & not having high expectations. I don't treat it as a phone anyway but a toy more fun than my previous Nokias :D

Terima kasih byteshertz & keep up the good work!

Yes modify all of them f0 - f5 for Audio - higher values are softer and lower values are louder I still dont fully understand it but it increased my audio - you do need to fully close and restart the app youre listening to though to notice the effect.

Hi

Very useful thread - huge amount of info

I have an A2000 for about a week Android 2.2.1

Kernel 2.6.32.9 - build ALPS.10Y.W10.48.MP.V2.03.P9.

I have rooted with Z4root and used Root uninstaller to remove many system progs that I didn't want.

Do you have a USB driver for this device?

Win7 cannot find a driver - MT65xx Android phone.

I want to do some app development.

TIA

PM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] byteshertz@hotmail.com:
In regards to audio, I have been advised these are the best settings to choose in the engineering menu of the m44 app:

Normal Mode (type):

FM = 10

Side Tone = 50

Audio = 20

LoudSpeaker Mode (type):

FM = 10

Side Tone = 50

Audio = 15

HeadSet Mode (type):

Audio = 10

Side Tone = 50

I personally however only change the audio settings on F0-F5
[Miscellaneous Android Development] byteshertz@hotmail.com:
Thanks Dimarzio123,

I had the drivers but I have misplaced them, I have tried several that have not worked but my install of adb may be the problem - if someone else has them I will be most greatful - in the meantime I will keep trying others.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] camisaroja:
Byteshertz Hello, Here again, I saw that comment a few tips on setting up sound engineering mode, you wonder, what up spelling on what I can apply to each of the F0, F1 ..... F5? Another thing, I'm using m44 application to enter engineering mode, once you configure everything, I give the option to reboot? Thanks!

PS: I tried changing to F1 only and do not notice the direncia in sound, for sure I did as it was ... haha:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] byteshertz@hotmail.com:
You need to set volume for each option so for example:

Headset Mode

F0:

Audio: 15

SET

F1:

Audio: 15

SET

F2:

Audio: 15

SET

F3:

Audio: 15

SET

F4:

Audio: 15

SET

F5:

Audio: 15

SET

No need to reboot - just restart any applications that were running when before you set the audio in m44 engineer mode.

Your audio level should now be louder, you could try 10 but i find too low and the distortion is too much.

[General Questions and Answers] csensitive:
Root app remover removes only x programs for free, then you need to buy it.

The easiest method I found, was to download a root file manager program e.g. File expert.

Then mount system as R/W to be able to write to the directory ie. deleting files.

System apps is located in /system/apps.. start deleting.

Theres more pages online to check which apps to delete or more important, not to delete!

The apps on this tested safe and worked for me:

[General Questions and Answers] csensitive:
:o

Did you go for File expert, which is free in market and has interface to mount R/W?

If you did:

1. Check the root option under settings to give it superuser rights

2. Mount R/W using Mount in the program interface

3. Press back until it says "if you press back again it closes sumthin) Here you are at the root of the phone.

4. Go to System and then app. Start deletin all the unuseful stuff.. delete the wrong stuff and you will break your system :)

No I went with Root Explorer, I really like the way it's laid out. I learned it well enough to change my boot animation a few times! Browsing through all the files a folders for a few days now. Also, leaned how to use Terminal Emulator. This stuff sure is fun! I found the folder that contains the info on the backlit keyboard and hardware buttons. I'm doing some research on how to get a code in there so I can control the brightness of those features. Could be out of my league though as I'm still too fresh to all this. :P

I agree.

I don't really want to say how much more responsive my phone is now,so I won't:P I would rather not jinx it!

Blue6lx made a rather exellent tutorial on what the apps are, and their applicable functions. Thanks so much to him!! That must have taken a long while to complete!

It is very thorough. I just saw it last night and am heading that way right now! Have a great day!
[General Questions and Answers] csensitive:
There's tons of stock apps thats not neccesary if you dont use them, ie. stock browser, sns client, samsung sync and so on. If you dont use the facebook app to sync, want another browser, dont use talk and so on, many of the apps just takes up space.

Many of them even run in startup as services/programs and uses RAM.

I removed about 30% of the stock apps, and could remove more if I wasnt afraid to break things :)
