[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Ice Cream Sandwhich JUST was released and maybe 2 phones have it. It will NEVER be released for the Epic. You cannot just take a version of Android and throw it on any phone. It has to be custom made for that phone. All the drivers have to be set up. You may see a port of it in awhile but not now. So please google these things since this was explained a few times about ICS.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brett701:
i havent seen the explanation anywhere.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
True, I only mentioned earlier that the latest OS for the Epic is Gingerbread.

Official latest: FC09 (2012-03-09), Android 2.3.x.

Official leak latest: FC19 (2012-03-19), Android 2.3.x.

Custom, stable: CyanogenMod 10.1.2, Android 4.2.2.

Custom, WIP: CyanogenMod 10.2, Android 4.3.

You still not in FC09/FC19? Better do it clean. Odin a FC09/FC19 tar (I prefer the latter, the root process for it is WAY easier), root it and install CWM. Flash whatever you want afterwards, be it any Android version, any ROM.

Hi so I played over 150 games on 9 innings pro and had all my cards hero and stuff and 100k points and then all of a sudden my data is corrupt and my 3 latest backups don't work either :(

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vote_gough:
Well, I managed to do something which I regret profusely now.

When I heard that the HTC Magic was getting an official update I thought that it would have been a fast, optimised Froyo experience. Boy was I wrong.

Now I'm stuck with a phone that can't open the messaging application without closing the homescreen process and the old methods to root my phone no longer work.

And to top it off, I wanted to use CyanogenMod 4 since 1.6 runs the best on my phone, yet I don't know if I can do that anymore since the update also changed the radio and I think the SPL.

So, long story short, how can I get a 1.6 ROM on this phone now?

Also an unimportant question, would Replicant still work on this phone if it has the new radio?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vote_gough:
Is there no one who can help with this?

I was just wondering what ROMs are compatible with the new radio and SPL.

They're 2.22.28.25 and 1.33.0013 respectively, I'm pretty sure they are anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:

for 32b you need SPL 1.33.0013d and RADIO 2.22.28.25 or 27.08 just flash normal ginger yoshi

Another compatible rom

All you need is get root and flash custom recovery, then rom through recovery...

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I've gotten tests to check my pc monitors so I googled to find something for an Android phone (Rezound will be my first) and came up with several options, a few apps and some methods without using an app.

Apps I found were:

Dead Pixel Test

Dead Pixel Tester

Dead Pixel Detect

Any recommendations on these or other methods?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Antutu Tester. You can text pixels, battery and touch points I believe.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Ask Xoxigenboy, he actually has a dead pixel and can probably verify which ones work.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
on my screen the dead pixel is red. you can't realky see it during the day, but at night it stands out when the background is dark(if you have a dark wallpaper, watching a video)

I'm currently waiting outside a Verizon store for them to open & hopefully they'll be able to see it.

but basically, an easy way to check is to set a really dark background(preferbly just black), set the display to auto & wait till you are somewhere with low light. any red dots and its exchange time.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Did they do the exchange there for you? I've never been able to swap a device right at the store, they always overnight it, so I just call now lol.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Thanks everyone... I'm anxiously awaiting my phone to check it all out. :)
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
they told me that since it was purchased elsewhere(best buy mobile) that id have to go there for the exchange.... which I figured, just hoped they'd do it there at verizon. although, since best buy allows an exchange within 30 days I think I am going to hold on to this one a bit longer(then will exchange on like day 29 or 30). ;)
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
You are probably better off not fighting holiday shoppers anyways, lol.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Verizon chick rep told me there were like 5 accidents by the mall today LOL. I shoulda hit on her cause she had huge tits, but I was more interested in my phone LOL. Then some blonde customer was next to me and shes was like omigawd what are you getting. I just looked at her and stared with a blank expression on my face. Considering she was also buying the Rezound which was in my hand.. DERP!

I just met my girlfriend of 8 months parents today (She/they are from Boston).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
Ok (after rooting) here is how I installed GApps (Market, Google Framework, etc) on the Nook Tablet, as well as the steps I took to stabilize everything...

1. Downloaded GApps package from goo-inside.me and extracted files.

2. Deleted the setupwizard.apk file from the set of extracted files (in the system\app folder).

3. Copied "system" folder from extracted files to tablet via USB.

4. Used Root Explorer to remount /system and copy files into their designated locations, and also set permissions (644) on all copied apk's in /system/app folder.

5. Rebooted.

6. Ran the market, signed in with my Google account, and downloaded/installed Superuser. Ran the binary update within the app.

7. Install any additional apps from Android Market.

8. Profit.

Known issues...

1. If setupwizard.apk ends up on your tablet you will not be happy.

2. A factory reset is recommended after installing GApps (though probably not necessary).

3. Not all apps show in the Market. Perhaps a build.prop tweak will fix this???

Enjoy!!!

Use either wireless adb found here: https://market.android.com/details?id=siir.es.adbWireless

or use debugging toggle found here: http://code.google.com/p/secure-set.../detail?name=ADBWidget-0.2-alpha.apk&can=2&q=

^ instructions for that:

Download ADBWidget.apk

Copy ADBWidget.apk to /system/app (you can use root explorer or something.)

Add ADBWidget to your home screen

Anlog,

I was able to get SuperUser installed following the directions on the other discussion! Thanks for much for all your hard work.

Working on getting Google Apps installed right now.

Update: Well I have SuperUser on my Nook, but whenever I try to copy anything to \system\app it tells me I don't have permissions. Looks like I can't get root to actually run.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
run chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bkerk25:
which version of Gapps do I need Cyanogen 6 MDPI?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
Make sure root is fully working before you try to install GApps. Use the latest ones for CM7 (I think its from August). You need to remount /system as RW before copying the files and setting permissions. Root Explorer lets you do all of that.

All of this could be done with an ADB script as well, but I won't have time to write one today. Anyone?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
Chainfire should fix it too, and youll be able to run all the tegra 2 also.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RussianMenace:
Do not install chainfire! I just tried it and it boot-looped, had to force factory restore.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bkerk25:
Finally figured out what was wrong initially, root does not seem to work unless you manually enter commands. Attempted market setup, for some reason it is still force closing every time. Any chance someone who got it working could upload exact files they used.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
What gapps did you use?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bkerk25:
I used the cyanogen 7 universal gapps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theundeadelvis:
Well, I may have royally screwed up. I followed this tutorial, and I copied over the entire Apps folder from the gapps download. Now I get numerous force closes, and I have no keyboard! Any suggestion?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wfellis:
I ran into issues copying the whole folder over. I am currently running the google market though.

do everything one step at a time, install the googleframework first (from the directions on the kindle page), then do the market. I ran into the first time through the market would not actually connect so I rebooted the NT.

*note*

each time you reboot your NT you need to go in and what appears is toggle the usb debugging off then on, same with the "auto mount", and I did the unknown sources as well (not sure if this is necessary). It appears a reboot resets the flags and our menu isn't actually writing the settings so you have to toggle it.

Push comes to shove, start over with fresh reboot. It took me a few times (as it probably did others as well).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
ok, so can someone who is patient tell me where I need to copy the system folder? help the feeble minded, please.....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] suicideclown:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
It needs go in system/apps
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
i'm copying from the system/apps directory (unzipped gapps files), to where on the nook?

I tried copying the files into several locations, but nada.

this is literally the last thing need to knock out for me to be set until the days of ported roms.

please. halp (lelu dallas, multipass).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] suicideclown:
that part is clearly stated but using root explorer and getting it to mount doesnt seem to work properly on my device. I have root and superuser. titanium backup works fine. for some reason root explorer on es explorer says it fails every time
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RussianMenace:
-1 Go download latest Gapps and extract the contents to your HD. There will be two folders, one of which is "system."

-2 In the system folder there will be more folders, one of which is "app." Inside of app are all the system APKs.

-3 Detele SetupWizard.apk

-4 Now copy the app folder to the root of your NT SD card via USB.

-5 Next step you need to use ADB or Root Explorer...I used Root Explorer.

-6 Open root explorer, then go to sdcard and you should see the APP folder you copied.

-7 Once there, hit menu -> multi select > then put a check mark to what you want copied then hit the copy button.

-6 now hit back untill you're back in the root

-8 Then navigate to system, and at the top you should see button "Mount RW" hit that button.

-9 Then go into the App folder, and hit paste.

-10 All the selected APKs are now in the system/app folder.

-11 Now you need to give each of the copied apps permission by long-clicking on it till a menu comes up, hit permissions, then check all the check boxes next to "Owner"

-12 After you did that to all the apps hit the "mount RO" button on top of the screen

-13 Reboot the NT.

That should do it...hopefully I havent missed anything.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 5[Strogino]:
Mmmm... It does not reach a goal.

1. This site is controlled by someone. We don't know real apps or not. May be they are infected...

2. To maintain this copy of market someone needs do many things (download a lot of apps, check new versions, upload to own site). So Dolphin Browser HD has version 6.0 in this site, but has 7.2.0 in google market.

3. Site does not have all apps.

P.s. but thanks for finding. It is another option to get apps, which can not be downloaded from google market.

New 9/30 gApps works, just remember to remove setup :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phon00b:
Nice. How am I installing this? Do I use the method on this thread's opening post? (so I only need whats in the system/app folder?)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
You should replace all the files *just use root explorer and multi-select them all and then you can just go to /system and paste them and it should merge everything. Afterwords, go into terminal emulator and run

chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk

Note: when you merge everything over, your nook WILL reboot. Also remember to get rid of the setup or you will have to wipe the nook and start over.q
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phon00b:
I couldn't get it working. I unzipped the files, grabbed the four folders in "system" and put them on my sd card. I then used root explorer and moved those four folders into /system. I got the prompt asking me if I wanted to merge the folders, and I checked the little box telling it to do this for all files and hit "merge". instead of restarting, the tablet just locked up. It gave me a pop-up for a force close but I couldn't click on anything. After several minutes I just forced a shut down and when I started it up, I got an image of a tablet with a big red exclamation in the middle, telling me to try restarting. I restarted several times and kept getting the same image. So I forced a factory reset, rooted again and installed gapps through the zergy script. I tried installing the new GApps once again and got the exact same result. And ditto for the third attempt. Any ideas what I mightve done wrong?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Wizardry1951:
Thanks for the help. I tried it and now all works fine.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:

Google Maps? Contacts?

I rooted a couple days ago using Indirect's method/script. All went flawlessly, Google Market works fine, but I don't see Maps or the regular Google Contacts apps installed? Is there some reason for this? Why not include them in the script with the other Google apps?

I'm not complaining, you guys have done great work unlocking the potential of this device. I was just curious if there was some technical or legal reason?

I have read a few people have gotten Maps working, and I'm sure i will be able to figure out how to sideload it, I was just curious why it wasn't included in the first place? Or was i just unsuccessful in running part of the script?

What if we want to get rid of all the google apps???

I rooted my nook and installed GApps and everything worked ok. But I decided to do a factory reset and just stick with sideloading apps for now because there were a few bugs.

I did the reset and lost my root as expected, but a few of the GApps remained.

They are: Car Home, Google Search, Market, News & Weather, and Talk.

The market seems to still work just as it did before the reset :confused: .

Is there a reset other than the n button + power on restart I should do? Or would I have to root the device again and pull those files out individually?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
The factory reset only wipes data. Root and gapps should REMAIN even after a reset. To remove gapps, you need to delete the apk files from /system/app, as well as the supplemental files from /system/framework, /lib, etc.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MonkeysInACan:
Thanks. You are right. Once I re-installed the SuperUser app I was able to use Root Explorer and Titanium Backup again.

My problem before was that the nook wouldn't mount over usb but that is all working again So I will keep the root and the GApps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:

Anlog, can you elaborate on what's in the "etc" part of your message? I want to get rid of Google Search because it has hijacked the NT Seach feature, which I need to run GoLauncher.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Okay, i've followed all the instructions. After reboot, message shows that Google service framework isn't properly installed. I clicked ok. And i was able to use google market after i signed in. So i guess everything worked out okay. Thanks sooooo much for everything.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
Install Titanium Backup, go to the "backup/restore" tab, find Google Search and tap it, tap wipe data, then tap uninstall. Reboot, and Google Search will be gone. You can do this for any of the apps you don't want on the device, but since we don't have a factory restore image the changes you make will be permanent (untill we get a restore). Best to leave the B&N stuff on there for now...

I was an early rooter with sideloaded Gapps. Everything worked but market FCed. I followed the instructions carefully and installed Gapps with root explorer. Plus, talk, car thingie and some other stuff show up but no mail! Market works great so I head over there and grab mail. Now it wants me to go to home, settings and tell it to sync.

We've got no home like that.

You just reminded me of that - we need to figure out a way to get into the "account sync" screen to tweak the settings. The gapps install didn't include Gmail but you can download from the Market.

You can re-run either script, but after you're done make sure you update the Superuser app from the Market and download the latest "su" binary from within the app.

That got me to the screen OK but Device is greyed out. I went to application settings but there is no Google apps to clear data from.

Just to be clear, I set all permissions to owner in the files copied to the lib, etc and framework directories also. Is that the correct thing to do? Maps also does not show up on the device
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
I got it sorted. Unchecking all the sync options and rechecking them did it. Might have been an artifact of the side loads.

There is still no entry for Gapps in apps settings and because maps never showed up (although it is in root). I downloaded it from the market and it let me install so the system doesn't seem to be seeing the copy in the root.

Thanks guys.
