[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 21cdb:
I had the same thing with the stock messaging app, even on MIUI. It is so annoying and literally the only reason I use Go SMS. Go SMS isn't perfect either (I don't understand why they don't automatically stretch the images to fill the screen, it's stupid to have to zoom in on every picture) but it's better.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

Speaking of MMS, does anyone else get notifications when an MMS comes in that don't have the sender's name? A lot of the time it just says "1" instead of the sender's name.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patrkoch:
I also have the issue of getting a message from "1." It goes away after I 'fetch' the picture though. I ended up flashing the mms.apk from h8s2 and it fixed that problem. I kept having issues when using GoSMS and Handcent so I have just stuck with the stock messaging app until someone comes up with a better solution.

How is this device powered. If by battery, its really wireless. If it requires AC power, not so much.
[Acer Iconia A500] proxonic:
powered by battery - they say that it will work up to 5 hours... and up to 25 hours standby

proxonic
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
That sounds pretty much useless to me. I'll just use my regular external HDD and save $100+. Then I won't have to worry about charging another device.
[Acer Iconia A500] gerke:
I use the same drive, standbypower >25 hours.

I have tested it with continuous streaming and it worked vor 5,5 hours with a full charged battery. My Tablet did have 32% of power left.

With my Samsung S1 200 GByte connected to my Iconia A500, the iconia lasted 3,5 hours playing video.

So I'm very happy with my choice, this is a great solution for me
[HTC Rezound] thrushpuppet:
Hi, long time reader, first time poster.. Had a question for fellow Rezound owners...

Is anyone having issues with gameloft games, even the hd ones? They load and videos are full screen but when goes into actual game its about a third of the screen and all the buttons dont match where you have to touch the screen for them to respond. I also had this issue attempting to play the Quake 3 Arena port.Am I wrong in guessing we are just gonna have to wait for devs to patch games for the newer hi-res phones? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
not sure on those, but I have Samurai II: Vengeance and ShadowGun which are also HD games and they play fine. although they do manage to make the phone run hot and slowly drain the battery while its charging... õ_Ô
[HTC Rezound] thrushpuppet:
Thanks for the quick reply. Went and tried both those games, they look fantastic! But I see what you mean, the phone warms up considerably, I am hesitant to keep playing those games, how much heat can it withstand I wonder.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
As long as the phone is only hot when playing games, it is fine. If the phone's heat isn't hurting your hands, then it is fine.
[HTC Rezound] BADIC:
Yeah i noticed that some games won't download the extra content and some like Splinter Cell don't have any buttons at all.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
hmmm... if we could somehow keep dry ice close to the back of the phone. ó_ó
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
If it is a game that says optimized for tablets, I would assume it should work with our phone. If tablets are not supported, you are probably going to have scaling issues. I could be wrong.
[HTC Rezound] thrushpuppet:
It seems Gameloft games are out until they optimize them for the the higher resolution then, too bad, they are putting out some great looking games. Do any of you Rezound owners have any other game recommendations. Samurai II and Shadowrun are amazing, does anyone know any other compatible great games? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I don't play games, but I did play the NFS demo which was pretty cool.
[HTC Rezound] kenc3dan:
Scrabble on Rezound

The Scrabble that EA makes for Android sure gets screwed up on the Rezound. It can't handle the 1280x720 it would seem, so you get a tiny little game in the upper left of the screen and a bunch of crap everywhere else. It's just barely playable in the tiny upper-left corner.
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
Hawks is a good combat flying game that plays well(normal).

I have all of the game loft games, ill get to testing them tomorrow.

ill test sims 3 as well.

[General Questions and Answers] Joshbroncos7:
Hey guys I have the HTC dinc. Its time for a upgrade im in love with rooting. So what phone (from Verizon) is the best for roms? Simplified what phone has the most and stable roms? Maybe a bigger and constantly updated roms? Which phone would you guys say is the best for that? Thank you. If you didnt get completely what I said let me know. Thanks:)
[General Questions and Answers] johnston9234:
get the galaxy Nexus when it comes out. Its gonna be huge in the rom community.
[General Questions and Answers] chewbz:
Galaxy nexus if you like aosp, it will run ics the best. Looking at the history of the nexus s there hasn't been much variety in different roms like sense or touchwiz. For sure you will have solid aosp roms like cyanogen and miui. Though it may seem that the galaxy nexus will be more popular then the nexus s, only time will.
[General Questions and Answers] jaredthegreat:
I would say htc rezound since your on Verizon I'm guessing...dual 1.5 processor, 2mp front cam 8mp rear with high grade lens...development will be soaring very shortly for it
[General Questions and Answers] Cyrano4:
Galaxy nexus and sgs2
[General Questions and Answers] Ant38:
the best phone is samsung galaxy SII.
[General Questions and Answers] tienthanh080:
I think ROM DFT very good!
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Don't listen to the people saying SGSII. Why? Because it is not, and never will be available on verizon. Get the Galaxy Nexus which should be available within a few weeks.
[General Questions and Answers] Slawen:
I would go for the samsung galaxy s 2, but if you don't want to spend too much money you could go for the samsung galaxy s i9000. Which has a large asortiment of custom roms and is much cheaper! I have mine for about one year and I'm still thrilled, especially with the Ice Cream Sandwich custom rom update!
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Hey buddy, how about you read through the thread before you post? THE GALAXY SII IS NOT AVAILABLE ON VERIZON!!!!!!!!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] RomsWell:
Troll........

U can't know before the phone comes out how big the Dev community will be for the device. Just keep your eye on the forums to see whats hot hot hot. Take the thunderbolt started out as the 4g verizon flagship but the Dev community isn't all that great with it. Has a few good devs but not a huge selection in roms
[General Questions and Answers] devator22:
The og Droid :p

But really, the sensation seems to have a lively community. The sgs 2 gets a lot of attention. I know some htc devs have moved to the rezound. The dinc2 is picking up steam, there are quite a few roms out for it, but I know it isn't the newest thing out.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
How is that being a troll? The OP asked which phone for VERIZON and there have been numerous answers of the SGSII which is not and never will be on Verizon. You make no sense. And you say Sensation? Again, it is not on Verizon.
[General Questions and Answers] AidenM:
It's a pretty safe bet to say that the Galaxy Nexus will have phenomenal development. The device was hyped for 4-5 months, and previous Nexuses have had a lot of ROM's and hackery. The people who keep saying a Galaxy S II or the guy who said sensation are:

a. people who didn't read the thread

b. trolls.

We know the GN is coming to Verizon via various leaks.
[General Questions and Answers] johnston9234:
Verizon confirmed it themselves silly :P
[General Questions and Answers] Poimandres:
Although it appears that the nexus prime should be coming to verizon for now my vote would be for the fascinate for the wolfson chip and voodoo sound.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
My word I hope these kind of instructions get captured in a wiki somewhere...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lemonsc1:
Just what I was looking for, worked perfect first try. My frustrations are out the window, not my Nook Tablet!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Sweet. One person helped, my debt is repaid the community :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kgingeri:
Sweet Indeedie!

Thanks @t-r-i-c-k - you just helped yet another. :D

Note to others - I did have a problem getting my device listed with adb, I re-ran the tgps_launcher app for the debug settings and un-checked and re-checked USB Debugging lines (2 of them) and that seem to do it. I also re-plugged the USB cable a one point so that may have been part of the trick as well - not real sure. You may have to fiddle a bit. ;)

EDIT: ok running tgps_launcher, it is the first USB Debugging checkbox to un-check then re-check.

---------- Post added at 05:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 AM ----------

Ok, just had a bit of a scare after rooting... :o

I had left the NT in terminal, su'd to root and the display timed out. NOTHING would bring it back to life!! EXCEPT plugging in the USB cable and running 'adb devices' ... and it powered on!! Whew!!!! :eek:

(before this I held the power button for a good 30 seconds and tried a repower to no avail)

I tried to replicate but always got my unlock back on no matter what I did?!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MonkeysInACan:
Ok so here is where I am getting stuck.

I'm pasting the "mkdir -p ~/.android" command into the terminal and it doesn't seem to do anything. No such directory is created.

Perhaps I'm missing something. I'm not as used to using the terminal on my Mac as I am on Linux.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kgingeri:
Nope - not the your Nook terminal - do it on your Mac :)

...assuming you are doing it on your mac...

if you use 'cd' (and [Enter] of course) and you'll be in your home folder ("~")

if mkdir returns an error then it probably already exists - try 'ls -a' and see if you see it.

if it exists then use the echo command again - there is no visible output - it used by adb
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
It makes a hidden directory in your home directory. ls -lart ~ to see it
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MonkeysInACan:
Yay!!! It works!!!! It took a bit of tweaking, and a few extra steps (making sure all the directories were right) but it worked. Thanks a lot!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] viniosity:
It all seemed to work really well except I got a force close on the google framework when I rebooted. Not sure if I should start from scratch or not. One thing I can't figure out how to do is erase apps that install from the market. Clicking settings brings up the Nook settings which doesn't have any record of the apps I installed via market.

Also, is there any way to enable USB debugging after the reboot? When I plugged in the usb cable again to try to repush the framework I just get usb storage.

Ok, I found a link to the app that lets me toggle USB debugging though I'm getting a permissions error when I try to push. Also figured out that I can uninstall apps through the market app itself.

Thanks very much for the instructions you've posted here.. very helpful!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
I have seen that google services framework crash once too. I just ignored it and everything seems fine. I did notice at least one other person in the main thread who reported the same. I may wipe my device and try the process again, this time with another Launcher too. I also noticed the app store doesnt show everything either. Notably facebook seems missing. If you go right to it from a link you get a "this is not compatible with your device" at the top. Going to play around more after work. On the whole though, this is awesome!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
I've gotten to this spot:

adb devices

You should see:

I can see the serial number, but I can't get any farther. This is the error I get: cannot stat 'zergrush': No such file or directory

Any ideas people? I'm brand spanking new to terminal and commands and stuff like this. Thanks for your help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
You need to be in the directory where you unzipped the zip from dropbox . Do ls -l and you should see the zergrush file, su etc

Sorry if I'm making some dumb mistake, and thanks for your help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kgingeri:
Try this

@beatlesfan01: I wonder if /data/local doesn't exist on your NT - or you don't have permissions...

maybe try (from your Mac shell)

mac-osx$ adb shell
$ ls /data/local

a) you should get the single '$ ' prompt after the adb cmd - this is the NT's shell

b) you should get no error from 'ls /data/local

If you get errors for /data/local, then try this (while still in the 'adb shell'):

$ mkdir /data/local
$ chmod 777 /data/local

If you get an error on the 'mkdir' do the 'chmod' anyway - actually the 'chmod ...' may be the only thing you need.

Then try stuff again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
I did the first part and got this:

MYNAME-iMac-2:~ emt1052$ adb shell

$ ls /data/local

tmp

$
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kgingeri:
*** NOTE EDIT ***

Ok, try 'ls -l /data' and look for 'local'

the permissions should look like '-rwxrwxrwx' - if not try 'chmod 777 /data/local' and try your adb push cmd again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
Got this:

ls -l /data/local

drwxrwx--x shell shell 2011-11-21 16:06 tmp

$ chmod 777 /data/local

$ adb push zergrush /data/local/zergy

adb: permission denied

$

I DO appreciate your help with this.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
Based on your last post - you are issuing the adb push command on the Nook.

It has to be issued on the Mac...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kgingeri:
Ok - weird. I did mis type and edited my previous post BUT the chmod should have looked after the permission issue anyway...

Try 'chmod 777 /data' - can you do that without an error - using the 'adb shell'?

EDIT: @rmm200 - thanks - I didn't notice that one ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
So would it work better if I tried a different Mac? A MBP I can use will be here in 30 minutes or so.

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

I'm tearing my hair out here...

$ chmod 777 /data

Unable to chmod /data: Operation not permitted
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kgingeri:
Nope - a different Mac is not going to help. Just type 'exit' or Ctrl-D to quit the 'adb shell' before trying to re-issue the 'adb push ...' commands. You need to be back at you Mac's shell prompt for those.

I had issues with /data not having permission for adb to work properly, with installing busybox (another post). I bet if you follow this it will work for you...

mac-osx$ adb shell
$ su root
# chmod 777 /data
# exit
$ exit
mac-osx$ adb push zergrush /data/local/zergy

(there should be no errors from the above commands)

...watch for the right shell prompts 'mac-osx$ ' means your mac shell
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
From a new terminal window I type "su root" and it asks for password, then I can't type anything. Please keep in mind that I know NOTHING about terminal commands and stuff. I just found out today that typing "cd" allows me to direct it to a certain folder. When I discovered that I felt all cool lol.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
It's case sensitive. It must be exactly as posted, capital R and all
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Sorry no, it's not case sensitive, my mistake. It's showing that adb isn't in your path. Can you do echo $PATH. It should contain the directory where adb binary is at.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
MYNAME-iMac-2:Nookroot emt1052$ echo $PATH

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

MYNAME-iMac-2:Nookroot emt1052$
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kgingeri:
No beatlesfan01 - if you are asked for a password, that is at your Mac's shell prompt!

You are dealing with three different shells - a terminal window on your Mac and the shell on the tablet + a root shell for special privileges.

The tablets prompt is ALWAYS just a single '$' followed by a space - so

$ ls​

would be the tablets shell - and

MBAir:Android kgingeri$ ls​

would be your Mac's shell

to exit any given shell use 'exit' (plus [Enter] of course) or [Ctrl]-[D]

so the 'su root' is for the tablet's shell - let me try again step by step

1) start a new Mac terminal

2) with your tablet in USB Debug mode (USB cable connected) - 'adb devices' should list it

3) at the Mac's shell type 'adb shell' - this gives you the single '$' tablet shell

4) type 'su root' at that prompt - that now gives you yet another very powerful root shell with privilege - *** issue ONLY the commands I give you at this '#' prompt - you can wipe a system with this shell!!!

5) the '#' prompt changed to tell you that you are now root or 'super user' (on the tablet)

6) issue the 'chmod 777 /data' (TYPE CAREFULLY) at this '#' prompt, press [Enter] - THEN issue the 'exit' command to quit the root shell

7) you should be back at a single '$' tablet prompt - type 'exit' again to quit that shell

8) you should be at your Mac's shell prompt - the long one with your username

9) the /data folder now has permissions to allows you to issue the adb commands as instructed

EDIT: This may not be necessary here, but I'll diverge for a moment... When we talk of 'shell' - it is the 'system level' environment you are working in - like a DOS prompt is the 'DOS shell' (if your old enough for that one :p). It is the text mode of issuing 'shell' commands to the operating system - hence it the 'shell' around the OS
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
Thanks for all of your help anyone. I'm not sure what's going on here. I'm starting from fresh. I'm gonna restart the mac and re factory reset the nook and I'll try again. I tried doing the Windows method before on an XP machine but I couldn't get that working either.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
There is no need to restart. From your log you posted every time you type an "adb" command it is coming back as not found and also your pasted $PATH shows that there is no sign of platform-tools in it!

You have simply missed this step

export PATH=$PATH:YOURDOWNLOADDIR/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/

... you will need to customize that to the exact path where your platform-tools directory is. Then, from the zerg directory, your adb commands should work. Hang in there, you are very nearly there it looks like.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
Ok, I'm here now:

MYNAME-iMac-2:~ emt1052$ export PATH=$PATH:desktop/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/

MYNAME-iMac-2:~ emt1052$

I think that's it. Now where do I pick up in the directions?

I was wanting to do this primarily for the market access, I'm wondering if it's worth it lol.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Type "which adb" ... does it show you the full path to the adb binary
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
Yes it does. I remember that it didn't the first time. I'm assuming this is good? Lol.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
I'm guessing it probably wont. Based on your earlier post and what you have said, you likely want

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/YOURID/Desktop/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools

then try which adb
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Great, you should be able to pick up the instructions at adb devices (ingore my last comment if which adb showed you the right thing)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
Ok, it showed my NT serial. For the next commands:

adb push zergrush /data/local/zergy

adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/zergy;cd /data/local/;./zergy"

adb wait-for-device install Superuser.apk

adb remount

adb push su /data/local/tmp/

adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp;chmod 777 su;cd /;mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /"

adb push su /system/bin/su

adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Do I enter them one at a time or all at once? Also, do I need to change anything or will a copy/paste work?

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------
