[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunshine1982:
ok, i searched this thread and didn't find anything on this, though i could have sworn i read of others having similar issues before while keeping up on the thread. anyways, my youtube won't work. it will load and search, but when i try to load a video, it says "There was a problem while playing Touch to retry". i've tried multiple times, over multiple wifi's and over the normal data network, it always says the same thing. i decided to uninstall youtube and try reinstalling it from the market, but the market says that your device is not compatible with this item. i was able to get it from mobilism and reinstall it, but i'm still having the same issue. should i try reinstalling the rom? and if so could i do it without wiping the data or would i have to wipe the data in order for it to hopefully work? its works with through opera, but not the app

Well I rooted my phone and I backed up the original ROM...

So my Question is.....If I go back to the original sprint ROM can I still update it through Menu>Settings>system updates?

I read somewhere that it might be a problem since my phone is rooted and what not

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
You can, but you will lose root, and since the new updates include hboot 1.5, you will have to use HTC unlock to re-root. You could always get an updated stock sprint rom that is pre-rooted so you can stay rooted.

[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
After seeing the Six Axis thread, I was thinking of getting on of those controllers to start playing some games from the past on my tab. I see in the "Working Apps" thread there are a slew of different emulators based on what console you're trying to emulate. So, question 1: Is there a emulator that is some what of a one-does-all?

Second question: Do I rely on the market for game ROMs? Or are roms one of those topics where they're illegal and I must RTFM where ever I can find them?

Third question: Are ROM formats pretty much universal? For example, if there are two different NES emulators out there, will ROMs be in a format where I can only play it on a certain emulator?

If all of this is covered, please feel free to call me an idiot, and kindly redirect me, as I didn't find anything immediately covering emulators for a 31 year old "newb" as far as emulators are concerned.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
The closest to an "all in one" emulator is MAME, which can emulate a variety of 80's/90's arcade machines. Otherwise, you're looking at different emu's for each machine type.

ROMs are illegal unless you own the original, which is unlikely. :p You won't get any of these on the Android market but they're easily findable with a little googling.

ROM images all use universal formats appropriate to what they're emulating. All emu's will read this standardised format. A Commodore 64 game ROM will work on and Commodore 64 emulator but obviously, is different to a game ROM for a Commomdore Amiga, for example.

And don't worry, we don't call people with sensible questions, idiots. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
You nailed everything on the head I was looking for. I am very fmailiar with MAME (concept of it anyways), but I always reserved to using the term MAME when talking about making your own MAME with like a full TV, PC and such... is there a "MAME app"? I'll likely go the route of a different emulator for each console, and I have access to a private site with tons of games, I just never bothered looking to see if the format was a standard. Thanks a million! I think I just got a little nerd chub. Cant wait to play Legend of Zelda again.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Hehe, there IS a MAME app for Android, should be on the market somewhere.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
Emulation on Android hasn't yet reached the stability of emulation on PC's, (especially when it comes to MAME) but it's off to a good start. Search the Market for MAME4droid - its based on quite an early version of MAME, and unfortunately there are more non-working ROM's than working ones. If you're willing to just use your PC, there is an emulator frontend called Maximus Arcade which is often used in emulator cabinets. It is a frontend that has support for several different emulators, so you just need to choose the system, and then you will see your list of games. You'll need to get a different emulator for each system, then configure Maximus Arcade so it knows where to find them. Just google it, there's tons of useful documentation on the subject. I'm a bit of a self proclaimed emulation expert, so feel free to ask more questions, either here or by PM :)
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Its been a dream of mine to one day build a mame cabinete, so maybe I'll hit you up if that ever comes to be. Thanks for the info. I may still look that up as my primary pc is an htpc already connected to my tv. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
Yeah, I know what you mean. My best friend and I are currently working on such a project. We put $35 into an older used P4 tower and $40 for a 19" CRT (supporting 2048x1536!!!) so after only $75, we've already tackled a big part of it. By the time we get some wood to build a cabinet, an X-Arcade Tankstick (look this up, it's sweet!) and a few other little things, we'll have about $500-600 invested into the cabinet, and the resale value of the complete unit would be about $300-400 more, but selling is the last thing on our minds. At this point, we've mainly worked on the software end, but it's been a lot of fun. Even after the pain and frustration of dealing with MAME (it can be quite picky), it's quite rewarding when everything finally falls together. I just can't wait to build the actual cabinet! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
So, the SixAxis app only works on rooted devices, which counts me out since IO have updated to the OTA 3.2 and really don't want to bother with downgrading and all that jazz. There is another app, USB/BT Joystick, that says it works with many controllers. I really like the PS3 Dual Shocks, but the app says the wireless PS# controllers will be supported soon. The wireless joysticks have a micro USB plug for charging, but can the USB plug also be used as a wired connection?
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
I wish but the usb is only for charging
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Crap, I am having a hard time finding the "wired" PS3 remotes.
[Acer Iconia A500] cmlucht:
Go to tmart.com there wired remotes are a lil over 10 dollars and ship from NY, takes about 5 days to show up.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Sweet, ordered, thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
OK, so after next week, I'll have the following, let me know if this setup sounds about right

- 15 foot HDMI cable: I've had this and know it works flawlessly hooked up to my receiver, so no problems here

- Ordered a wired PS3 controller from tmart.com at the suggestion of cmlucht

- Was going to try and use the USB/BT Joystick Center app to map the keys

- SNESoid app for emulation

- And a TON of SNES games

Should have my controller next Wednesday. If anyone else has no other suggestions, I should be rocking SNES games on my TV in a week. I am friggin nerdin out here.
[Acer Iconia A500] cmlucht:
did did you get to pick your free gift from tmart? Sometimes they give a free gift with orders, I buy all my green and blue lasers and my sons 360 stuff in there and my ps3 controller.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
You got me all excited, but I just went back through all the emails I've gotten so far from tmart and did not have anything mentioning a free gift. Oh well, I'll consider the great price a gift.
[Acer Iconia A500] Corruptor0612:
Got my a500 on a stand with an HDMI cable and Xbox 360 wired controller and it works fine. portable SNES. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Ugh, didn't check my mail yesterday, and now I checked the tracking from work today and see the controller was delivered yesterday :(. Have to wait a few hours and check it when I take my lunch. I feel like a kid on his birthday.

[Acer Iconia A500] cmlucht:
so are you liking the remote? I have always had good luck with tmart and they sell so much diff stuff
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
So far the remote has been pretty good. I played it for about 4 hours last night, just Zelda though. I need to find a way to mount the external_sd directory to somewhere within the /sdcard/ folder so the emulator can pick up my games.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I should note thqat I ended up NOT having to use the USB/BT Joystick app for key mapping, but I did end up buying the SuperGNES emulator since the lite one, although will let you save the state, it will not let you load them on the lite version, and thats no bueno when playing Zelda! Loving it so far. Thanks again for everyone's help. Now I just have to find a way of getting the emulator to read the external SD card memory for all the ROMs so I don't have to store them on the tablet, and this is not proving to be easy when on stock 3.2 (thus no root).
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Man, the left analog already broke. This normally wouldn't be a problem since I do not use the analog sticks on the SNES emulator, but it broke in a fashion to where the emulator thinks I am constantly holding the stick to the upper-left side, so now totally un-usable... Emailed tmart.com. Have you had any experience with returns/exchanges with tmart cmlucht?
[Acer Iconia A500] cjf28:
hi all.

Ive been trying to get the MAME emulator going on my Iconia for the last few days. with no luck.

Hopfully, someone can point out what Im doing wrong.

I have mame4droid installed on my tablet. And I have the ROMset downloaded into the internal memory of the tablet. And I have just bubble bobble by itself DLed onto an 8gb microSD card.

When I boot up the emu, it stats no available roms found.

on the card, I have a folder named ROMs, with a folder inside named MAME4ALL with a folder inside named ROMs, and then the bubble bobble folder

in the internal memory, i have a folder named SDCARD with a folder inside named ROMs, with a folder inside named MAME4ALL, with a folder inside named ROMs with all the ROMset put into it.

Is there something Im not doing right?

Thanks. I appreciate any kind of help

Cory
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Only thing I can think of is the. Are nnot right of your roms. May need the utility call ClrMAME to properly name the files
[Acer Iconia A500] cjf28:
well, the romset I pulled from was the one titled 0.37b11 gp2x wiz

I was reading up on it. and it said it was optimal for the iconia. Back to more searching

damn. And I really wanted to play some bubble bobble today. :D

thanks,

Cory
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
Thats the right folder.....I've noticed mame4droid won't play over half my roms. Usually the more technical games. If the rom is incompatible it won't even show up in the list.
[Acer Iconia A500] cjf28:
well, I figured it out.

The internal memory is still recognized by the :sdcard title. So, I essentially had a SDcard folder inside a SDcard folder. Once I deleted one of them, it worked fine.

now to figure out how to get my SNES emulator up and running

thanks for the tips, everyone

Cory
[Acer Iconia A500] shane_tactical1:
Where did you find the rom for bubble bobble Cory if you dont mind me asking mate?

Have spent the night looking and every Rom i have found doesnt work.
[Acer Iconia A500] shane_tactical1:
Never mind.

I figured it out.

I tried a ton of roms and i mean a ton!

Probably about 20-30 dif roms from different places and couldnt get them to work.

If anyone else is looking though for a bubble bobble rom that will work on Mame4droid just look for bobble bobble instead.

This worked for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] sandiegoan:
I have had Gensoid since I first got my phone. I have a few sonic roms. Trying to control on the phone is a frustrating experience at best.

Then I got my Iconia 500. The bigger screen helped but it wasn't much better. Recently, I was playing around with the app and decided to look up a controller on Amazon. With Prime I had a USB Genesis controller and it was great! Some great memories.

Next I have to tackle Toejam and Earl. Which leads me to my question:

Is there a way to have two USB controllers at the same time? This way, one could be Sonic and the other Knuckles. Or one could be Toejam and the other Earl?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] imnitguy:
I keep getting NO ROMS FOUND - what am I doing wrong?

Cory this is driving me INSANE. No matter how I alter the path it doesn't work. I got a set of roms that I believe are correct. No matter how I modify the path I get NO ROMS FOUND. What is your "internal memory" path that works? Sigh. Thanks. Andy :silly:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Krakadoom:
Since I can't post in dev forum, I'll put it here I guess.

I installed the SonyStyle mod v11 (2.3.7 based) and besides it being slower and more unstable (and higher battery drain) than stock 2.1, I have a very annoying problem with wifi turning on by itself. I disable it at least once an hour, but it keeps turning back on - sometimes almost immediately after I turn it off. It's pretty consistently using 7-10% of the battery, which I would like to avoid.

Any ideas? Is it a ROM bug, or is there a setting somewhere that might be causing it? (I have 3g data enabled, so no need for wifi)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HieuKy02:
I use the SK4G physical keyboard very often. I couldn't find a way to delete a letter from left to right just like on the pc keyboard. The del key on the SK4G keyboard work like the backspace key on the pc keyboard.

I really need to find a way to delete text from left to right instead of having scroll to the end of a word in order to delete a letter.

Thanks for your help,

Hieu
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
on old sidekicks (Danger OS) it was Shift+Del. That has been removed and now both Del & Shift+Del function as a Backspace key.

Alt+Del functions as Delete Entire Line

I would like this, too.

Im not gonna ask why your trying to spoof, odds are I know :p

Hi, I was following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide found on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1298691.

I got as far as the Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery, when I got to step 8 'Click Start on the Heimdall Frontend. A blue transfer bar will appear on the phone showing the kernel being transferred. The device will reboot automatically.' BUT when the phone tried to reboot it gets stuck on the first Galaxy S screen. I could get in to download mode and recovery mode but nothing else. Does this mean my mobile is bricked? What do I do know?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RobertSand:
You have flashed a rom, not only root your device. And cyanogenmod is not based on samsung firmware.

Think you shold read some more.

But, how long do you wait on the s logo? It thakes some time to boot up first time when catche is wiped.

If you only want to root you shold search for cf root for your stock rom. If you want to go back, you have to download a stock rom. Found att samfirmware.com
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Talon26:
No not bricked (nowhere near)............ Reflash...

I have read many times that re-flashing will do the trick. If you have download mode, you can flash any rom onto it, i would use odin as it may be the safest whilst you being in limbo. Then if you want to follow a link for CM 7.1 that is both v.entertaining (my opinion) and clear i suggest you click on the link in my sig...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GalaxyS_User:
Robert - Sorry I did mean flash as well as root. I waited around 15-20 minutes, isnt that long enough?

Talon - I have tried to re-flash using the guide method I was originally using but get the same problem. To be honest from looking at Odin information on this forum, it has confused me quite a bit (lot of different advice), not sure if I am doing the right thing.

I did make the mistake of jumping into trying to flash & root my phone. Any help of what to do to get my phone to a working state, would be very much appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
@OP: as long as you can put phone in Download mode - it is not bricked.

ALWAYS, you can restore everything by flashing stock ROM with repartition.

If you will not be able to go to download mode - well... then you have something to worry about ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GalaxyS_User:
I'm a bit confused, what would be the best way to do that?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Talon26:
Well find stock FW from below, then flash it using the guides..

Generally now days you get 2 files, Pit either 512 513 or 813 (or something similar). And you get a .tar file or other zip type extension and put that in pda. Then flash

you may get 3 files and a pit file in which case you put it in the appropriate places....

Ive written this guide and telling you it is a GUIDE. Wherever you get your files from there should be instructions as to what to do.

For example you may need to do a factory reset before (unlikely but still) More likely is that you will have to disable lagfix, but you shoudnt have to worry about that. Main thing read the guide and follow the guide from where you get the files. The thread you get it from...read the first and last 5 pages, more if you want to be safe.

Now files, i have links to stock FW below, guide are usually present within them. If not read the thread, but also read the thread and search th thread for answers or the section or the SGS forum.

OMG, there are tons of tutorials and how to's in here about flashing and rooting phones... who uses heimdall? get Odin for flashing:

1. Install KIES for drivers (you might already have done this).

2. Get a rom from samfirmware/sammobile, I recommend JVP because it has gingerbread bootloaders: http://www.sammobile.com/threads/17-Samsung-I9000-Galaxy-S-Firmwares

3. Get Odin (sorry I coudn't find a link)

4. Get your phone in download mode (VolDown, Home, Power).

5. Connect your phone to PC with USB cable.

6. Set the PDA, CSC and MODEM files in Odin from the firmware you downloaded from step2.

7. Make sure you have "re-partition" enabled and set the .PIT file to use the *512.pit also included in the firmware from step 2.

8. click start.

9. Start your phone and set up the startup wizard.

9. For rooting, get the CF-root for your firmware from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

10. Get your phone into download again.

11. DON'T check repartition in odin, only select the CF-Root file as PDA (you have to use the CF-Root-***.TAR, important to use .TAR and not .ZIP.

12. Flash again, now you are rooted!!

I know this tablet is already a great price for what it cost.

I am just wondering if there is any chance of another sale before xmas, or if there is an official venue I can get refurbs from?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tydgilyard:
Check out bestbuy. Or htc.com its self.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TidBit:
If you always wait for something to go "on sale" you will never have anything, because something newer and bluer will come around and then you will wait until THAT goes on sale.

Get the one from BB. It's $299. I bought mine last Friday and I think it's great!.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
lol. Which is exactly why I always start doing xmas shopping about 3 months a head of time :p

I narrow down what I am looking for and then evaluate what is coming out, what is out, and what is just going to be unfeasible to get.

I am most certainly not one of those fools who believes it is always better to wait, I've been burned for doing it before.

On the other hand, I also do my best to balance out my budget and I am usually ok with settling.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tydgilyard:
lol. I bought mine from bestbuy monday and i love it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
I gotta admit, it is the first tablet that has caught my eye.

ipad wasn't impressive, and the galaxy tab just seemed overpriced and rather generic.. (especially at 500$)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myke66:
BB would be your best bet for finding an open box (They dont sell refurbs in the store, only returned items) possibly on their website though.

You're not going to find them discounted much less than $300, the cost on the item for retailrs is $429, so they are already selling at a loss.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jlczl:
The $299 price was to good to pass up for me. Any lower and we're talking "fire sale". ;)

It's a great device at a great price right now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
Oh, I'll definitely keep that in mind then.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobzdar:
It's sold out on the BB web site and most local (to me) stores are out of them here - there's only one with them in stock within an hour drive, so I doubt they will drop the price. Hopefully they're making more of them and the $299 price wasn't just to sell off what was left. I redeemed some CC points for a bestbuy gift card with the intention of buying one, I just hope by the time they get here I can find one...
