[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
OK found it. Thank you. Then I should be able to use heimdall to flash your kernel (zImage) in the kernel box and imoseyon's recovery (recovery_zImage) in the recovery box? Or maybe flashing his recovery in the recovery box and nothing in kernel box in heimdall followed by flashing your zip with the new CWM?
[Galaxy Tab General] dsb9938:
You can do both at the same time, but I don't think the recovery will work without the kernel. I think it requires EXT4.

[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
I downgraded my rooted EC02 to stock unrooted using heimdall and ran the update to EI04. That worked fine. Then I flashed your unzipped zImage using heimdall in just the kernel box and rebooted. No voice saying converting to ext4, just a normal boot. Looking in settings shows nothing special in kernel. And doing an adb mount command just shows everything in rfs, not ext4. What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
To answer my own question, I had no success issuing Gingerbreak on my EI04 gingerbread VZW Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
any of the older rooting methods were patched with 2.3.4, so this being 2.3.5 they won't work either. You'll have to try the pre-rooted kernel listed in the dev section.
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Anyone else not able to charge their GTab since the update?

Whether I charge via a computer or the adapter, the charge indicator shows but the battery level never increases.

Not sure if its the update or it's defective :eek:
[Galaxy Tab General] jason62082:
Did you try to run something like Z4root? I had rageagainstthecage running 100% of the time in the background and it drained my batter in no time. Maybe you have something running that uses as much power as you are charging back. Have you tried a reboot to start with a clean slate of processes?
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
I've rebooted a few times. Clean the connector/plug and verified the voltage coming from the charger. Other than the 2.3.5 update, nothing new has been installed in probably a month.

While plugged in, the battery icon in the notification bar shows the charging bolt. But, under the device status....it says discharging (with no apps running).

Actually, Google Books was forced (as a courtesy probably) on me a couple days ago. Hrmmm......
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Small update.

While plugged in, it does appear to be charging as the battery level DOES go up very slowly - like 1% an hour. The status still says discharging and the charging indicators (notification bar and large icon when turned off) do indicate its charging.....but....the battery icon in the notification bar is way off from from the battery level.

Right now the (Status) battery level says 42% but the (notification) battery icon is clearly over 90%. Hrmmm.

One or more of those is not right.

Any ideas? Anyone else having similar issues?
[Galaxy Tab General] Robin M:
Mine works fine. As soon as I plug it in the battery status in settings switches from "Discharging" to "Charging (AC)".

It sounds to me like you may not be using the wall charger that came with your Tab. The output on that is 2 amps, while most phone chargers only output around 850 ma. When I plugged my Tab into my phone charger (as a test), I got the same indication you are seeing. Same thing happens when you plug it into a USB port. A USB port offers enough amprage to maintin your battery, but not enough to actually charge it. You need a 5v 2a wall charger to charge the unit.
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
You need more than that. The Tab requires a special power supply that applies the correct voltages to the pins. If it does not have these voltages, it charges like it is plugged to the usb port (slowly) no matter what the current capacity of the charger. There is a thread here somewhere that explains all that. But you can fool the Tab into thinking it has the right charger by buying or making an adapter plug. I made a couple and one worked great. The other one I built wrong and it fried my Tab. So if you're looking to use a non-stock charger, I recommend you buy the adapter plug. I bought a few on ebay. They are not expensive and let the Tab charge full rate.

BTW, concerning my earlier post about using the rooted kernel, I was finally able to get my EI04 Verizon Tab rooted. I flashed that kernel with heimdall and managed to use adb commands to root it. I never did get the VooDoo portion (conversion of file system to ext4) working. But I really was not wanting that anyway. I even managed to get the CWM Recovery working so I could nandroid backup my system. The only thing I miss from my earlier setup is overclocking.
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Thanks for the responses!

Well, the interesting part is that I am NOT using the original Samsung charger. That got lost almost a year ago.

But, I have (for two months) been using the charger from my TouchPad which is also 2A. For the ~9 months prior to that, I was using a 1A charger. Both of these chargers worked perfectly fine (fully charging in about an hour...charged every night)....until the 2.3.5 update. I just dont know if that is a very odd coincidence or not.

Could the firmware REALLY have changed the charging requirements/functionality?

I did a factory reset. That didnt fix it and I still havent installed anything or even setup any accounts.

Plugging in to a computer - the charge indicator always shows.

Plugging in to 1A charger - the charge indicator sometimes shows.

Plugging in to 2A charger - the charge indicator never shows.

Yes, this is completely backwards from what you might think!

But, it does charge at the same slow rate with all three. The status says discharging with all three. And the battery icon and numeric battery level status are still out of sync. The icon is usually much higher.

I really dont want to be w/o it for two weeks sending it to Samsung if it really is not a hardware issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] Robin M:
Most Verizon stores sell chargers for the GT. If you take it in, they'll probably let you test it before you buy.

...and leapinlar, thanks for the clarification.

Sent from Galaxy Tab with XDA app
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Are you suggesting that both chargers, and the computers suddenly all began outputting a (less than discharge rate) trickle charge...at the same time?

I also have two Samsung cables....so I dont think its a cable issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] eBalut:
Ok, noob question here. I updated to 2.3.4 with Heimdall, but do not know how to use this file to update to 2.3.5, can someone help the new guy? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
You should be able to boot into recovery and choose install update. Make sure the file you downloaded from the link is on the root directory of your SD card and has the word "update" in it somewhere. Then power off and power back on holding the up volume key and the power button for several seconds. That should get you into recovery. Then select update. It should update itself. If it throws an error it means that the update package has detected that your system somehow has been modified away from stock. There is another thread here that shows you how to get back to stock first. Then repeat the above instructions.
[Galaxy Tab General] elektrosha:
Hi! Was you able to downgrade or upgrade that EF01 Modem by any chance? I got in the same situation, tried Modem from DJ11, but it doesn't load, maybe because it's an older version. The only thing I can think of is to try the modem from the latest 2.3.5, but I don't have it. Let me know! Thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nos0x:
What are the best scrolling shooters available that work with the XPlay controls? I've given R-Type a go and was wondering what others recommend :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
AirAttack HD Make sure it's the Xperia PLAY version!

There's also a game called Overkill. It's not specifically Xperia PLAY Optimized, but it works perfectly with the D-pad and X to shoot.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] orangesunshine:
scrolling shooters? oh there are dozens but here are my favourites(long time STG fan.-)

for some shooting goodness fire up FPSE Emulator and get the following PS One Games:

-Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus(Salamander 1+Lifeforce AND Salamander 2 included,Salamander 2 is just great!)

-Gradius Deluxe Pack(Gradius 1+2,classic but i personally prefer Salamander)

-Gradius Gaiden(best of all Gradius imho,japan release only,nice graphics,much more accesible than classic Gradius)

-Parodius Deluxe Pack(Parodius 1+2,classic)

-Sexy Parodius(completely whack+hillarious..)

-R-Type Delta(best ps one shooter,period)

-R-Types(R-Type 1+2)

-G-Darius(some twisted shooting action with different paths,long bossbattles and psychedelic style graphics thrown in)

-Einhänder(the only Squaresoft Shooter,still great)

-Thunder Force V:Perfect System(great!)

on Genesis i highly recommend Contra:Hard Corps(they should have named it Contra:Hard Core,its really a challenge,its contra on speed) and Gunstar Heroes,intense shooting action,also the Thunder Force Series,on SNES Axelay is great also the SNES Contra

Neo Geo:Last Resort(great R-Type like Style,very challenging),Aero Fighters(Sonic Wings),Pulstar,Viewpoint(isometric unique style but frustrating),Shock Troopers(really really great one!),Metal Slug 1-5,Ninja Commando

Tiger Arcade(CPS2):Mars Matrix,Giga Wing,Progear no Arashi,Ecofighters,1944 The Loop Master

and finally if you want to see something very intense and weird or just for the fun:

fire up an NES emulator and get the game RECCA:Summer Carnival 92.its an japanese game especially made back in 1992 for a shooting game competition called summer carnival.thats just insane what they did with the very limited NES hardware,you won`t believe that this is a NES game:there are a mass amount of ultra fast bullets and enemies with no slowdowns,huge bosses and the music is great also the stages backgrounds are really tripping you out,its an adrenaline bomb-)

no actual games will give you the joy and challenge of those oldschool shooters,trust me..and finally,thats what the xperia play is for:emulation .-) when i see such half assed ports like R-Type where there is no option for turning off this touch overlay even with "xperia play optimized" stamp..really better to emulate
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] crono141:
There is a port of Tyrian on the market. You have to configure the controls through a non obvious interface, but it is probably one of the best vertically scrolling shooters ever made.

Now you are my favourite person on the whole internets.

i tried to make it work via dos emulators, but never worked.

just like Raptor: Call of shadows, wich is my fav dos based shooter. Somehow you can make it work on android, with full controls, but i never found the way to do it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DrEzkimo:
what app/rom setup do you use to get this working? looks like a good one
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Blazing star is awesome, as is Pulstar (both NeoGeo). Dont forget theres GigaWing (CPS2) All three of these games, and many more, are playable on the awesome emulator Tiger Arcade Game Emulator, or TigerMame on the android market. Remeber though you must have the original games in order to have the roms. I only remember these games because I dumped enough quarters into the arcade games as a teen... Oh and if you like the Turbo-Grafx 16, Sinistron is pretty good, not as good the above ones but still fun.

So in a nutshell:

NeoGeo:

Blazing Star

Pulstar

CPS2: (Capcom Play System 2)

Gigawing 1 & 2

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] orangesunshine:
hehe some CAVE goodness..there are many CAVE bullet hell/manic shooters,main problem is:they are mostly vertical/TATE shooter and this is unfortanetly too small on xperia plays screen,you simply can`t concentrate on the ships hitbox(except Progear no Arashi which was made together with Capcom and is a horizontal shooter)

but if you want some really manic shooting i strongly recommend to fire up a pc mame emulator,for instance there is a extra lagless SHMUPMAME version,you can grab it on SHMUPS.COM,turn your monitor to vertical and try

-Donpachi(classic)

-Dodonpachi(my favourite till today,beautiful drawn sprites,great soundtrack,big explosions,supernice bulletpatterns)

-Dodonpachi Daioujou(ruthless one,you will throw your controller/stick onto the wall .-)

-E.S.P.rade(first in the "ESP" series)

-Espgaluda 1("easiest" Cave Shooter)

-Ketsui(Hardcore!)

-Guwange(probably the most stylish one if you are into japanese settings and oh boy the music in stage 3..)

-Dangun Feveron/Fever SOS(THE Disco Shooter,fast and frenzy.-)

all of them are great on their own! there are also numerous ports of the newer CAVE games on xbox 360(Mushihimesama Futari,Espgaluda 2,Dodonpachi Resurrection,DeathSmiles 1+2,Pink Sweets/MuchiMuchiPork are the ones that come to my mind).simply put CAVE are the masters of bullet hell shooting .-) i`ve got an old CRT monitor standing vertical with a arcade stick just for all the vertical shooters .-)

and for Blazing Star:yeah i totally forgot that one,really great shooter!

i`m personally really enjoying Mars Matrix and Giga Wing on the Xperia Play cause they have some sort of full screen vertical,which i didnt like on the big screen but for the Xperia Play its perfect,from the ps one games its Gradius Gaiden and the Salamander Deluxe Pack which i like the most.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Every single camera app I've ever used has produced the same quality images. Image quality is all about your physical camera itself, not the software utilizing it. Any camera app is just going to be using the same basic Android functions anyway, the differences are purely in the UI and any post-capture activity (filters, HDR, etc)

I have a successfully rooted T-Mobile T989 that I have been using for 2 weeks. I decided to un-root the T989 using the procedures listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319830

Then installed the :

SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip

When I rebooted my phone the ROM does not appear to take at all - instead it restores my phone to a state it was in on 10/20. The phone also keeps rebooting itself over and over.

When I install the SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip from recovery, it reboots 2 seconds after it says "Setting Permissions"

I have tried wiping everything, factory resetting but to no avail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
hold volumen down or up + power

go back into download mode

use odin to flash back the root

with root you can fix most of those issues

in CWR select the option to Fix Permissions

use wipe factory reset, to wipe out everything

then reboot a couple of times to make sure it's stable

once it's confirmed, then you can try to flash the un-root back into the phone

If you read extensively and follow directions to a T there's no way possible you can brick your phone. I don't know about you guys but I read about how to root, how to unroot, etc so you save yourself from headaches.
