So far I haven't found a use for it. Taking notes on the tablet does not appeal to me nor does drawing on screenshots.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ftorres:
I use it whenever I need a paper to write something on. Paperless for me. Only print it out when I really need it. Environmental friendly as well :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I use it to takes notes in my classes. I find the notes mobile app much easier to take notes with compared to the HTC notes app. Plus with honeycomb you can use the pen all throughout the tablet as apposed to only taking screenshots on gingerbread :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RMarkwald:
I use it @ work (IT) for taking notes, since we are trying to go "green" in the office, it's my "see here ya go I'm going green"...and hopefully this means that work will reimburse me for it.

:D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
I never even thought about the possibilities involving roms.

Could be loads of fun.

Hm... wonder if ICS will have anything special for pen based tabs...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
I design and manufacture parts for the auto racing industry.

I use the Flyers camera to take a photo of the area I’m working on then, note the dimension on the pic with the pen.

If need be I can take several shots from different angles.

I then return to my workstation’s cad program and I have all my info at hand.

It really helps me to visualize the part I’m working on.

For making a usable quick sketch and markups. I was surprised how much I started to markup screen shots of Web pages once I got used to the idea.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jlczl:
I got the pen just because it was on sale for 39.99 and I had a 10 dollar reward certificate. I'm not really sure how much I'll use it but hope with the upgrade it'll be more useful.

Take a picture of office maps (fire routes work great) then mark them up for new network drops and whatnot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ERamseth:
I've started using it in place of anything I'd have used a paper notepad for. Extra cool that the notes are ocr'd and searchable.

Maybe one day I'll get around to drawing up plot diagrams, creating story arcs, and writing a book... Too busy for that right now though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
I use it to take notes. My daughter uses it for notes and to annotate her books for her English class using the reader that came installed on the flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] istevano:
Everything. I am a recruiter for a consulting firm and take notes on my conversations with candidates - been using evernote for a few years so its a virtual database of people now. Also in grad school and use it to mark up powerpoints and sometimes record audio or the cam to capture diagrams on whiteboards. Used it at a family get together to find a pizza place with Google maps, pull up the menu, and write down (on the menu screenshot) our complete order - easily placed the correct orders and people were like "that is awesome". A life saving feature is accessing my home machine via logmein as well. I love this thing.

Same here. I've heard a lot of good things were going to open up with the HC upgrade. I hope I'm not disappointed.

FXP045 released, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16822404&postcount=4

Current Issues (FXP045) and unofficial fixes

Hardware keyboard layout scrambled - Old keyboard file is no longer in this ROM but appearently just pasting the old stock file (attached) to /system/usr/keychars/ fixes the layout. The included keyboard changer app force closes.

LEDs under soft keys Return and Menu - Replace /system/etc/hw_config.sh with the attached file.

Screen flicker upon turning on - New issue in fxp045.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xutienan9520:
can this work on Ray?

the flash does not work either

and the keyboard light does not work when use (when charging, it works)

and the max brightness is not very bright
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
I believe these fixes will work on Ray but you should find the stock values from Ray ROM because there probably are some differences.

Basically, only one issue you're having can potentially be fixed using SK17i fixes and that is max brightness by applying the fix for screen flicker. If you can't get a hold of Ray's stock values, try SK17's stock ones, but do a backup in recovery just in case.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xutienan9520:
thanks～

i changed the light.semc.so in system\lib\hw from stock 2.3.3, now i have the max brightness, but the keyboard light is on for ever! i can't close it!!!!the colour is always pink!

i think i can edit the file, i am in Mac, so is there a way to edit it without linux?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
i'm editting these files on the phone. copy the file to sdcard to edit it, with any kind of text editor. i use edit function of Total Commander. then i copy over the original file in system with Root Explorer. backup original file to sdcard just in case.

dont know about Mac much, sorry.

root explorer is a paid app but i think ES file explorer has the required functionality

oh, i messed up the links. will be fixed in a moment =)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
Per someones suggestion I've added modified files and instructions on how to replace the original CM ones.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
yepsky!!

I found the background ligths for the keyboard :)

echo 100 > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

I tested 100 and found it adequate.

We just can add it to the config file in /system/etc/hw_config.sh

I do not know if it stays lit when slided back, but it works as a first atempt ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Groteski:
Thank you good Sir! Testing it later!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
Amazing job! I'm gonna test it out now in a super dark place to see if i can check whether it stays on when closed. =)

I'll be updating original post with results and updated files in a bit.

Edit: Unfortunately keyboard lighting stays on and not only when keyboard is closed but even when phone is locked. Which means, its lit at all times. Won't be updating the files yet, because I don't know how much of a battery drain it is, but i'll put in information about it, so people can decide for themselves.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xutienan9520:
Nice to see process.

Now i need to find the button light for RAY
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
I thought that :(

Okay, there is a binary called slidercounter that or something similar sets a system var. If you take your dev Tools app and look unter Configuration there it is mentioned:

hardKeyboardHidden=2 <- if closed

hardKeyboardHidden=1 <- if opened

We now just have to find out where it occurs and if not we make a background script that ech0 x (100) or 0 into the node depending on the state.

But there must be a system process watching this we could use.

Don't hide, I'll find you anyway :D

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 AM ----------

did you look, if in ray the nodes under /sys are similar to the pro mini?

you can test using adb shell or terminal app cat'ing the node to see what's in it and echo'ing a number to see what happens.

You meant progress, didn't you ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
as I am using Scriptmanager anyway I made 2 oneliners besides the shebang that echo either 0 or 100 into the node called

liteon.sh

and

liteoff.sh

put the scripts into root of sdcard, start scriptmanager, choose liteon.sh and check run as root and save

Do this either way with liteoff.sh

Go to your Mangos Homescreen, add a widget, choose Script Manager and choose liteon.sh and in the next step liteoff.sh

You´ll have to Widgets, one puts light on, on off.

This is of course a workaround an will be implemented into lights module. Fxp knows about the fact already.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
not the most elegant solution but it'll do until the fix is in =)

good job though
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
If I had more time I would have searched where the system keeps the var keyboardHiddenState or how it was called and build a condition of if it's open and not bright enough to switch in on/off ;)

But how I understood fxp the fact about the light seems to be enough to get this working ..I hope so :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
new issue:

km launcher disturbes camera module.

I use the KM Launcher to determine which keyboard to use in which state.

Portrait: swype

Landscape: thumb keyboard

Keyboard open: hardware keyboard

This is a very cool application that worked perfectly on my rooted stock. If it is active the cam works in the cam app, but not in many other apps that use the cam, e.g. barcoo barcode scanner. I have to disable KM Launcher before using these apps. Hope it'll be fixed automatically in the next release.

I just cannot guess why that happens.

Hey guys I still have the problem with the over sensitive lcd backlight, whenever I'm in a brightly lit room the backlight starts going crazy and sometimes goes so dark I can't see the screen, it then goes super bright.

It repeats this several times a day :(

I've tries the fix in this thread but it doesn't work

Could someone attach the fix to this thread? As I've tried the the fix using terminal emulator

Thanks

EDIT: it started doing this while I was writing this

Could you please add this problem to the first post?

I use the FreeXperia KeyboardChanger and pick "qwerty-se-fi" and reboot. But nothing happends. Still "qwerty-en".

I did apply the keyboard fix so my keyboard doesn´t have asorted function-keys anymore, but still I can´t use my Å Ä Ö letters on the hardware keyboard.

Hey guys, I've just been mucking about with alogcat and found that whenever I close or open the keypad the number 32 comes up in the log , followed by configuration changed.

someone could make a script that gets run everytime the keyboard is opened or closed and check and set the back-light of the keyboard
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
you can try to modify the correpsonding config file yourself. My mango is just loading, but it is around /system/usr/keyboard-config ..you'll find it ;)

USB tethering not working. When the tethering checkbox is checked, it immediately shows 'tethered' but moments later, it becomes unchecked and an app asking to connect the mass storage comes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] barrist:
check the changelog for next weeks FXP release , it says USB tethering is fixed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ashokmkd:
It says fixed.. But we can't update to fxp043 because our stock FW needs to be updated first.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
Looks like FXP043 works with one service removed. No issues reported so far, check first post for info. =]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
you must wait till the stock firmware is released. fxp will add this to the first post I think
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
Well, I have 7.1.0.2 from the official CM mirror installed right now, and all the fixes from the FXP043 work, including camera flash and keyboard backlight. I dont know where exactly problems might come up but everything works just fine so far. And hopefully that service is not very important.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
Did you install it over your existing 42 release?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
Yes, without data wipe.

To make it clear, dont install the file from the official mirror, but the one linked in the original post.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jonnygee555:
Ive also installed 7.1.0.2 from the official CM site, works well. the bugs from fxp42 were still there (keyboard scrambled and keys too bright) but after doing all the fixes i now have a fully functional cm7 on my mini, with keyboard backlit :)

I think if you

do

, do a data wipe the problems that can be fixed will come back, and you will have to apply the fixes again, where as if you don't do a data wipe the new fixes are installed alongside the old one's

free xperia are epic :D

ANT+ is just the connection to monitoring accessories like devices that measure your heartrate if you're using it with sports tracking programs (ie measuring your heartrate during a jog). probably doesn't affect many people.

so can i go straight to fxp43 from stock firmware? or should i go from fxp42 to the 43
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
I dont see why you couldnt go straight to 043.

And good news about ANT+, im gonna edit the info about it in the original post.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] a-k-t-w:
updated to fxp43. absolutely nothing was fixed in this release. the keyboard backlight is just on all the time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
not for me. it shuts down when i close the keyboard, and it shuts down after a few seconds of inactivity when remained open.

camera flash was also fixed.

edit: at least 3 others have personally confirmed that the keyboard and camera fixes are working.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] barrist:

alright so the fxp43 without ant zip worked.

i now have the super bright soft keys though..

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] barrist:
i did that keyboard fix, but in some boxes (like entering your wifi settings or apn settings) its still messed up.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
yes, line was removed from the manifest
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
that is a known bug, no known fix for it. might be fixed with the working keyboard switcher in fxp044
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] a-k-t-w:
Maybe I didn't check properly. On stock, it also appears to be on all the time but on closer inspection it's just the light from the screen.

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
if you mean the sound control in the power toggles, mine works. nobody has yet reported anything about it.

go to settings-cm settings-interface-notification power widget-widget buttons, and scroll to the Sound modes. It could not be working if all modes are deselected.

edit: you are right. fxp045 changes the sound modes only to silent, so once you tab the icon toggle, it cannot be changed from it. i just fixed it by selecting Vibrate, and Vibrate+Sound and it works.

[Acer Iconia A500] pdaornopda:
I post this question in Taboonay 2.2. But I think it may be more appropriate in this Q&A section. Here it goes.

I like Taboonay ROM alot. But I need Acer Sync and this ROM has it removed.

Taboonay Tools has Acer Sync. But when I use Taboonay Tools to get Acer Sync, nothing happens. I couldn't get Acer Sync installed on the tablet using Taboonay Tools. So I am now back to the Stock ROM as Acer Sync is important for me to sync with my outlook contacts and calendars.

Thus my question is, how can I install Acer Sync on to Tablet A500 after Taboonay 2.1 or 2.2 ROM has installed? I already installed Acer Sync on my PC (downloaded from Acer).

I appreciate if anyone who can help me with this. Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] crashpsycho:
i would say to extract the apk file from another rom who has it and instal it using file explorer instal at system/app

make sure you have su permisiion on file manager app
[Acer Iconia A500] pdaornopda:
Thank you for your quick reply. I have tried your approach with root explorer. It won't install as it is a system application. I get installation failed error. If you have done it, can you elaborate it further in detail? Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
You need to extract:

Acersync.apk

Acersync.odex

Acersynchelper.apk

Acersynchelper.odex

from a ROM that has it.

If I was doing it, I'd extract those files from system/app from a stock 3.2 ROM, and inject them into your ROM prior to installing it. That may get you where you need to be.

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] pdaornopda:
I did what you said I think:

1) Use root explorer to copy

Acersync.apk

Acersync.odex

Acersynchelper.apk

Acersynchelper.odex

from Stock ROM system/app folder to a external SD card

2) Get in ClockWorkMod and did Wipe Data/factory reset , Cache and dalvik before I installed Taboonay ROM (with updates to 2.2)

3) Use root explorer to copy the above 4 files from SD card to system/app

4) Change the permissions to include user's rights (all three)

5) click install

Then I get installation failed error.

If you get it work, please share with me how you did it. Thank you.
