[T-Mobile LG G2x] jasonsb:
i'm pretty stuck on this and i'm suspicious i'm doing something very stupid, or the g2x is doing something very stupid. i got desperate enough to post on c.g.c here:

code.google.com /p/android/issues/detail?id=1057#c38

paraphrasing:

i'm trying to convert my flac collection to mp3 to play on phone. all my attempts to write out mp3's w/ tags which the phone will read have failed pretty badly. neither album,artist,title, or artwork is recognized. this is true for both the standard music player as well as google cloud player.

phone: g2x (LG-P999) running 2.3.3

here is what i am attempting. first, generate a mp3 and get a sample pic:

sox -S -n -c2 mooo.wav synth sin %-12 sin %-9 sin %-5 sin %-1 vol 0.5 fade q 0.1 10 0.1

lame mooo.wav mooo.mp3

wget sharks.sitenook.com /sharks/Moo.jpg

and then run following python code. if i load up resulting mp3 in itunes or picard it shows tags + artwork ok. no go in phone.

would be grateful if somebody could point out what i'm doing wrong. thank u.

I prefer to pay for these rather low priced games so the developers of them will continue to produce apps that work on our tablets. I don't think its a good idea to advertise on this site for pirated games.

I did a search on this and found this thread:

But what I'm working with seems different. I have a theme that I LOVE on my phone, but I really really want the Gears of War Cog lock ring, and I either get one or the other :(

How can I combine them together? I've got both files. I just don't want to merge things like "shared.m10" and screw it all up.
[HTC EVO 3D] theratdude64:
or what about ADB pushing them?
[HTC EVO 3D] triscuit1983:
The lock ring image is located in a few different m10 files. So in order to get it in your theme you would have to use M10Editor.exe to edit the your apks. The apks the lock ring image is in is fusion.apk and Idlescreen_Base.apk. If your using a skin you would have to edit that as well.

Go to post #2 of my thread (check my sig) for a quick tutorial on how to use M10Editor.exe.

Awesome, thank you :-) I shall do that tomorrow. I downloaded m10 editor the other day but didn't know what was where.

So I was using my phone normally today, when I went to send an image via email I had located on the internal SD. To my surprise, I found that my internal SD was completely wiped with this everywhere (see attachment.)

I was using Weapon G2x 2.7 at the time. Any ideas as to what's happened?

Just thought I should add, my external SD was just fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
It appears to be corrupt. Have you pulled the battery out while the file system was active?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I pulled it out while my battery "died" on Weapon because it refused to turn off at the T-Mobile screen, but I kind of doubt that was the cause. Oh well, I'm just hoping it doesn't happen in the future.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Knufire:
Step by step guides are great, but I just want to make sure I get the basics of rooting too. I'm pretty techy, but my field of focus has been mostly computer hardware, not really software. Anyway, here I go:

General Stuff about rooting:

ROMs --> Sort of like firmware on the iPhone, actual OS.

Kernal --> Layer underneath the OS? Flashing to a custom kernel gives root access

What I need to do (from stock EE4, don't want to lose any data):

1. Install Samsung Phone drivers (doh.)

2. Get ODIN v1.82, CWM 0817, Humble 4.2/4.22, imo's 3.1

3. Use ODIN to flash CWM.

4. Recovery Boot into CWM, load imo's 3.1 kernel <-- (This roots my device, right?)

5. Boot, backup with Titanium Backup

6. ODIN Humble 4.2 in

7. Boot into CWM and flash Humble 4.22

8. Set up ADB, mount system folder

Questions:

Do I leave the battery in or out? Seems to be lots of conflicting information on this.

Do I need to bump charge at any point to make sure the battery's calibrated?

Do I need to root EE4 with a different kernel, backup, then update everything? Or does the above process work?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
First off, welcome to the party. =) and thanks for asking your question, it's always better to be safe. You seem like you understand the process fairly well, and the steps you wrote are the steps you need to take, so nice job on your research. As for the questions:

1. I like to think of the kernel as using your bios on a computer to change how the components of your computer interact. And like you mentioned, ROMs are just like operating systems (like windows 7).

2. Take your battery out before putting your phone into download mode. Once odin recognizes your phone go ahead and put the battery back in and leave it in for the flashing itself. It is also recommended to take your sim card out when you flash, just to be safe. When the flashing is done (it will say pass in odin), go ahead and pull the battery out of your phone and unplug the usb. Don't forget to make sure you put the sim card back in before rebooting if you took it out.

3. You should always try to flash on a full battery, or at least 95%. Before you CWM the 4.22 Humble, charge your phone to 100% while off (you can bump charge a couple of cycles if you would like) and then wipe battery stats. Now go ahead and flash the rom and boot up. I like to let my battery run pretty low before i charge it again on the first boot, but your battery life should be fine none the less. =)

4. Since you are using humble (a gingerbread rom), imnuts kernel will be fine. But make sure you pay attention to kernel and rom builds (for future reference). That being said, most roms include custom kernels, and will often take care of the work for you. =)

Hope i helped. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Hope you enjoy your "new" phone. haha
[Verizon Droid Charge] loccoelf:
just use the odin humble 4.22 it has rom, kernal and radio you can do that with one file and ur done, then just flash cwm in oden when your done

I see a lot of reviews from people playing this on touch-screen phones that say that the game is lovely/charming, but also noting that the controls are awful.

It's no secret that touch-screen is trash for every genre but strategy/puzzle... but platformers have ALWAYS been the worst of the worst to control on a touch-screen. Don't believe me? Slide your Xperia PLAY closed and try to play Meganoid with touch controls... see how long it takes for you to ragequit.

...with this statement being true about the sheer mediocrity of touch-screen controls... I'm a bit giddy when I get to say how much more playable it is for Xperia PLAY... with realistic, competent controls, all the complaints are removed, and it's nothing but good 'ol fun and charm.

It's challenging though. Very.

So I've been using gtg's infused 2.2.3 with bedwa's infusion kernel and mattedblues theme when one day I reboot my phone and no boot animation. All I get is the initial Samsung splash screen and lockscreen.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
FALSE. It starts and runs in the background as other services are loading. Once the last service is started, it then exits. It does nothing to add to your boot time. You will have to wait for all those services to start to have a working phone in the first place anyway, why not make the time go by with some animation?

I have the same issue. Infused 2.2.3 with infusion gb kernel. Otherwise phone is unstoppable and amazingly badass...want a bootanimation though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] thumbsinblack:
May be a silly question but have you recently installed any init.d scripts that disable the bootanimation? I know one version of the 99tweaks is specifically no bootanimation and others may do so as well without calling them out. You might check the files in your init.d for anything that mentions "boot animation" or "bootanimation". See if something has forced it off.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Adam7986:
They aren't. They are tied to IMEI's. Two things you really need it for; 1. If you want to use WiFi calling after the maintenance update in a couple weeks, you will absolutely have to have this SIM card. No questions. It will not work. 2. After time, the older SIM cards will fail. This could lead to data access, call drop, sms sending/receiving and signal issues. If you have one now to activate, saves you a call and a trip to the local store for a replacement.
