[Acer Iconia A500] tahdor:
I have created some directories and files using "Android Terminal Emulator" (e.g. using commands mkdir, ls -al > fname.txt etc) on /mnt/external_sd. I can see these files when I do 'ls -al of /mnt/external_sd'. I can see them in ES File Manager as well. But they do not appear when I connect iconia to my XP PC. I see rest of the files "My Computer\Acer ICONIA TAB A500\SD Card". Can anybody help me ?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] frankelr:
This won't help much

Just a few words that your not the only one. It seems that files created on

the A500 and written to the external_sd are not seen by the PC. One theory of mine is that is a Acer Sync issue. It sure is annoying. Anyone else with the same problem or better yet an answer.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Can you still not see them after rebooting the tablet?

You should be able to after rebooting.

To avoid having to reboot, you can use SD Rescan.

[Acer Iconia A500] tahdor:
Thanks for the tip. Reboot does the trick. Not only reboot, unmount and mount of sdcard does it too.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
The app I linked to is free, and alot quicker than both those methods ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Nova5:
External_SD is not SDCARD. they are seperate entities in the tablet.

one is /mnt/external_sd

the other /mnt/sdcard <-- this one is what shows up on the PC
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Actually they both show up on the PC. Not sure which ROM you're on, but stock 3.2 and ROMs built off of stock 3.2 show both internal as well as external. :rolleyes:

Hello,

I have a problem and I am afraid of bricking my HTC 7 Pro (PC92100 SS-BC).

The situation is, I have HSPL and custom mango DFT 7713 ROM (5)USA_HUN_CSY_PLK release).

Now ... what's the best method do get official Mango, without bricking my device? I suppose I should revert to Original SPL, then flash 7004 stock ROM and then upgrade via Zune. Is this right? Can you give me link and exact (verified) method how did you upgraded to offical Mango?

btw. probably there isn't any way to backup and transfer my SMS? Probably not, right? :(

Thanks in advance

You have to read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013810 and choose ROM for your device (for not branding devices like yours: RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3 a_22.36.50.15U_by_ansar):cool:
[HTC 7 Pro] pajousek:
And won't it break anything? A lot of roms has written that if you have HSPL, it will totally damage your phone without any means to recovering it from bricked state.
[HTC 7 Pro] Budniu:
I flashed that ROM many more times and all works good, but guaranted gives only producer. Everything you do for your risk.
[HTC 7 Pro] pajousek:
And did you have HSPL? And did it remove it? And is that ROM completly _stock_ one, without any modifications? I can't find this info in the thread you posted. :/
[HTC 7 Pro] Budniu:
I don't understand you ?

You want stock ROM and remove HSPL, yes ? I take the link with that ROM.

You ask, whether damage your phone ? I wrote you: I DON'T KNOW what you do with device and do not make a repo.

I wrote to you what I do with my device and whose ROM's I used. If you want guarantee from me that you not break your phone, I can only give it to you if you promise to sell him.

Hi,

Anyone know how far we can customize the 5 icons at the bottom of the home launcher?

I saw in one video that we can replace the apps there.

But, is it possible to only change the icon?

With current LauncherPro, I changed all those 5 icons into "text only", which is nice:)

So, wondering if we can do the same with the stock ICS launcher!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pachi72:
Ummm... The phone is not our yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
no, there is no plain text option.

you can replace the 4 apps, but not the middle settings button. you can put folders (groups of apps) in the 4 spots as well. and re-arange the order in the folders. the 1st program in the folder has the top icon displayed first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Well, I did not mean "plain text", but changing the icon of the apps in that bottom bar.

Only the icon ...

If this is not possible, is there any way to achieve this?

Like, creating an app with custom icon to launch other app :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
There is an app on the market to change an applications icon but I don't know how well it works or how it would work with the nexus.

Stock Android Launchers do not have the facility to do what you are asking.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
Use desktop visualizer from the market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MontAlbert:
i dare say that once the source is released someone will customise the ICS launcher like GO, LPP, ADW etc have done with current stock android launcher (I hope)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dgwood12:
Unless the launcher dock allows widgets on it which I doubt many if these apps that you can change icons with won't work. They create a widget on your homescreen that is a shortcut to that app. this is why you find these apps in the widget section when adding them to your homescreen

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeutronBomb:
I was wondering this too.. it seems like something along the lines of Better Cut would work. It makes a shortcut on your desktop to the app using a custom icon... I would think you could then drag that onto the quick launch bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Yupe, I really really hope so this will work.

I don't like to have multi colored icons down there!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I can confirm that Desktop Visualizer works with the GN launcher. :) For the 1x1 icons you can even drag them on top of each other to make folders just like you can normally on ICS. You can also drag them onto the bottom launch bar.

EDIT: Testing it further, it seems that ANY 1x1 widget acts like an icon. You can put them in folders or put them in the dock bar. Sweet!

EDIT again: Agh. My bad. Looks like only some 1x1 widgets can do that. Others can't. Still not sure how it's determined which ones can and which ones can't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Nice!

What do you mean with "cant" for some of the 1x1 icon?

How do you describe that "cant"? Simply cannot be dragged?

Please if you can give us some examples which dont work.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Basically there seem to be two types of 1x1 widgets. One of them is "icon-sized", such as the native bookmark and direct-dial widgets and also the 1x1 icon that Desktop Visualizer makes. These can be stacked into folders just like you can with a regular icon.

The second type seems to be a 1x1 widget that takes up the whole tile space. (An icon takes only a part of the tile space and these rest of the space is used for the label.) These include things such as 1x1 clock widgets or another type of 1x1 widget that Desktop Visualizer also makes. You can drag them around the homescreen space like you can with any widget, but you can't stack them into folders or put them in the dock bar.

Hope that clarifies it. :)

Anyway I attached a screenshot of examples. The widgets are the left side are stackable/dockable and the ones on the right side aren't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Thanks, that is ver clear.

And I saw in your screenshot that you have changed the docked apps to use text icons, nice ... Very nice.

Given the new high resolution screen, what is the resolution of those icons?

How did you make one?

If you are using Photoshop, please if you can share the PSD files :)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I actually made the icons with an app called "Simple Text - Text icon creator" which you can find on the market. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to share the style but it's pretty easy to figure out (or you can make something even better :p).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Thanks,

I did not know this app. Previously, I made myself using PhotoShop (got the PSD somewhere from Nexus S Themes Apps forum).

Okay so after searching around for a while I did not find what I was looking for so I figured it would be safe to post a question :)

Okay so here it is...

I am subbed to Hulu Plus however they do not support my SGT 7.0 running Sprint Root 2.3.4 and I was wondering if someone is knowledgeable to get the apk modify it to allow my device so I can use what Im paying for >.<

Second is a similar question as the first I own a Logitech Harmony Link and sadly right now all it is is a pretty $100 paper weight as again my SGT 7.0 is not supported, I know it can be as it has similar hardware as to some other smart phones that the app does work on so same thing here if someone could get the APK and make adjustments to it to allow my device to start the app.

If there is any information that you need please ask and I will do my best to provide, I dont know if I can offer any money for your time as things are a bit tight but I will see what I can do.
[HTC EVO 3D] flomexico:
So, I've gotten the update twice now. Both times, it's failed. As in, an hour after it pops up, nothing has happened and I have to cancel it. First time I restarted to stop a loop of the updates. Second time was about an hour and a half ago, and it just didn't do anything.

All I want is the update, anybody else have experience with this issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Maybe try a different rom?
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
A while back I rooted and flashed Revolution HD 3.6.4 on my Sensation without any issues; noticed immediate improvements, and was really pleased with the performance and battery life. Only issue was the occasional boot loop which I remedied by flashing a Bricked kernel.

Fast forward to two nights ago…

My parents also have Sensations and were not very happy with them so I convinced them let me root them which I did.

I did to their phones exactly what I did to mine, including; s-off, perma root, CWM, nandroid backup, flash ARHD 3.6.4 w/ bricked kernel.

The weird part is both of them are now having identical issues with their phones; really slow, 4hr battery life and laggy.

However…

I was sure to wipe the battery stats by draining the battery to complete shutoff, recharging to 100% (basically overnight 8hr+ charge) and erase battery stats from within CWM

I did not do a Titanium backup because a)they really didn’t have much installed, app-wise and b)I thought a fresh install would be cleaner without trying to recover any settings

I made sure to run the Revolution HD Super wipe before flashing the Rom

Installed the HTC Bricked kernel

The only thing different about their phones than my phone is they never applied the official HTC OTA major update. I went into this thinking it would not matter since we’re installing a new rom anyway but perhaps I’m wrong???

Why would two freshly-rooted phones exhibit the same issues?

I’m planning on re-flashing their phones later this week with the newer ARHD 3.6.5 rom (which I just did to mine :D) hoping this will clear up any issues they’re having but want to make sure I’m not doing something wrong first…
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
Let me ask a more direct question.

Can I flash the new Revolution HD 3.6.5 (including the bundled faux kernel) to a phone that has not had the HTC Sense OTA update? Or will issues arise?
[HTC Sensation] xyqtt:
I think the problem is radio wise. Install the recommended radio and see if it solve the problem
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The issue is most probably the kernel.

Try installing the latest.

You have two choices.

1.faux.(in my sig)

2.bricked.(HERE)

Seeing as you have two phones to play with,why not try one on each.

:)
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
I flashed both their phones with the bricked kernel when I installed the rom originally.

If the problem isn't due to the older Sense version being installed what I plan on doing is flash both phones with ARHD 3.6.5 and leave the bundled kernel installed (have the 3.6.5 with new faux on my phone and so far so good).

I can try the radio flash also but I never had to flash the radio on my phone and all three phones are identical (bought them at the exact same time; family plan-thing).
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I have never updated via OTA,and I never will.(Do not trust what it will do to my phone)

There are known issues with the bundled kernels. :(

Both of the latest kernels have had good reviews.

Just saying.

:)
[HTC Sensation] gaisto17:
The OTA could've updated your radio.
[HTC Sensation] stevendph:
Check if you have recommended radio or not. If not, flash recommended radio. Then,

Try to download ARHD 3.6.5 (check MD5), download latest kenels of your choice.

- Super wipe

- Flash Room, and reboot (just set up phone, dont set google account and facebook yet).

- If you want do flash roomcleaner: reboot into recovery and flash roomcleaner.

- If not, just reboot in recovery, wipe cache and wipe davik cache, then flash kenel of your choice.

- Reboot, set up your google account, facebook account, email account, etc...

- If phone experiences a bit lag during turning page to page in homescreen. Just reboot again. After that you can do all battery calibration, flashing mods or themes.

It may be too careful but that just to make sure I dont mess up everything with flashing.

Hope this help!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

ROM cleaner is flashed immediately after flashing the ROM, without any reboot.

:)
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
Thanks for all the advice. I just got a call from my mom today saying her phone dies real fast and every time she takes a photo the screen goes black resulting in a battery-pull.

I gotta fix their ****z pronto.

I hyped the whole rooting thing up pretty good after flashing my phone, so far their experiences are pretty bad.

@ stevendph, I'll do exactly as you outlined. Thanks for the step by step.

fwiw the radio is whatever was on the phone from the time of purchase. Ill flash it as well with the 'recommend' radio.

So the consensus is to go back to the Bricked kernel and overwrite the new "updated" Faux kernel bundled in the ROM???
[HTC Sensation] stevendph:
Yep, it's can be flashed immediately or after 1st reboot, the result will be the same as roomcleaner's function is to delete system apps, files, skin and wallpaper (which are useless or you dont use). Those also can do it manually but yes painfull :P.

As i stated before, it's just i am doing carefully to watch if is there anything wrong with room flashing, then continue flash other things. What i did was flash, check, flash, check... until having what neccessary -->nandroid backup, flash, check, etc :P. Just me to be careful :p

@Okors: related to kenels, just make sure you notice this.

- Faux latest kenels 0.24r1 is really good and stable (if you have 0.24 beta 7, you dont need to update, as they are same).

- Bricked kenels: v1.5 final has the problem with camera, playback video (sometimes for some devices) as blackscreen, freezing. Version 1.4r1 is really good and stable (without Zram enable). Version 1.5 beta #490 with zram, working great for me anytime including camera, playback, etc... but there are reports from someone that they have lags (i dont)...

That's all what i know when testing and reading reports about these kenels, you have the right to choose what is suite for you.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
I would just flash Pyramid 3D and 0.91 Bricked, check if GPS and camera work, then call it a day. If GPS doesn't work you could always try my fix or crypted's, boh are flashable.

Pyramid 3D has been the most stable and the fastest out of all the ROMs that I've tried without having to extensively customize for myself. Honestly though, I would just flash your parents stock again. Doesn't sound like they are power users.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
To be honest, I'm mostly after the improved battery life for them. You're right, they're not power users; in fact the phones are way to "smart" for them. Their biggest complaint is battery life (as was mine before I rooted).

At this point I just want to get their phones back to a stable state. It's frustrating because I NEVER had any of these issues when I flashed my phone.

Even the kernels, radios, etc didn't make 'much' of a difference. I was blessed with a really, really stable flash right out of the gate :rolleyes:

I even updated to the latest ARHD and bundled faux kernel and my phone is rock solid.

Both of my parents are coming over tonight for dinner. I'm planning on reflashing them to ARHD 3.6.5. using the steps outlined earlier. Hopefully all goes well or it's restore-to-stock time.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

May I suggest using the 3.6.x series with the 0.9.1 bricked kernel,found HERE

I put it on my son's Sensation,and he loves the stability and battery life.

He's not a power user.

He just wants a smartphone that works.

Just a thought.

You could also try the stock rom xe by eddyos. Everything works fine and battery last for 14 to 24 hrs in medium to light usage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheKid1:
I have done custom ROMS on my old HTC TP2 so I kind of get it, but what do you gain by rooting your G2X? Right now I have a stock G2X thar is unlocked. I'm sure you can install new ROMS after being rooted, but does the good outweigh the bad. What I am trying to say is yes I agree that a stock phone has some bugs, but overall it works and does what it is supposed to. But rooting? I see post after post on this forum of bugs after bugs and questions after questions about something not working after rooting. So far it seems like a hassle and a whole world of endless misery. I gotta say that I am impressed how you create new roms to work on our phone, but how about a 1 button fix that does everything from rooting to installing a new ROM without the bugs so us newbs don't have to ask a million questions and download endless Apps to make it work correctly. Another words I'm not sold on the idea unless I'm missing something. On my HTC TP2 I had no choice but to enter into the realm of no return because the phone was a snail POS to begin with. So now I ask, what can I expect, I mean the phone stock is pretty good?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beekersguy:
I guess if you're not willing to learn some stuff and get your hands dirty, then maybe rooting this phone isn't for you. There's no "one-click-and-done" for this device.

It has staggering potential if you are willing to learn rooting & modding. There are some really great roms available that make this phone more functional, fun, and pretty.

I got some experience rooting when a friend of mine asked if I could turn his nook color into an Android tablet. I learned more doing that than I did in 4 years of high school.

Rooting & modding isn't for everybody. If you think your G2x is fine the way it is, then leave it alone.

wireless tethering
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
You don't need root to install custom roms. Just install nvflash.

rooting allows the use of some good custom apps. Titanium backup for example. Paid version allows one click to restore all apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheKid1:
What do you mean more "functional"?

If what you mean by "wireless tethering", you mean using your phone as a wireless router, than I don't understand because I can do that now without being rooted. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I am really interested in hearing more about this. Where can I get nvflash? Is this something that will screw up my phone if I don't do it right? So after installing nvflash, I can just flash any ROM, just like that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ramirez3805:
Plain and simple. If you want to be able to control every aspect of your phone: root. If your happy the way things are. Keep things the way they are.
