There are threads around this site with tons of themed swype's(I found an ics theme that I like a lot). They aren't easy to find on the forum search but google seems to find them. Sorry I don't have a link, but good luck with your search.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
STOCK? Not beta.... That work with the D3. I've searched, there aren't any... Just a bunch of broken links or links to swype beta themes that are pita to keep working correctly and arent as define as the stock swype.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
There was a thread made for D3 for swype themes. Idk where it was and his themes were released before any custom roms rolled out. So idk whether they'll work with non-blur roms.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Okay thank you, I will search again. =]

Hey guys.. I'm almost finished with Angry Birds and I upgraded from the HTC HD7S to the HTC TITAN.. I went to windowsphone.com to reinstall my apps, but I have to start at level 1 again. Please tell me there's a way to retrieve my saved info.. I still have that phone but I'm giving it to my dad soon.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Titan] korben44:
I don't believe there is any way to save game data, yet. As far as I know, I have to do the same thing for my Android phones, too, unless Titanium Backup will save game data as well as applications.
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
I am 90% sure the answer is NO, but check Mirolg's thread in Windows Phone 7 development.

I've used it once for my Titan.

What that tool does is, makes Zune believe that your phone is updating officially. So Zune foolishly will create a back up image of your phone on the computer. After back up is finished it realises that it was stupid and there is no update, but it's too late, so we have a back up image! - it does a WHOLE back up!

Unlike Android, we don't need to 'root' our phone, this just works.

However - I am not sure if this back up can be taken to different make and model of the phone. This is where, Mirolg will be able to help you. He is a very helpful guy. So before throwing your phone away, try this and ask him to help you if there is anything specific.
[HTC Titan] throws2000:
Thanks a bunch for the info guys.. I was just about to do a hard reset and give it to my pops, but I decided to check back first. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I'll check with Mirolg just to be sure..

BTW I really like that idea of tricking Zune.. lol.. :)
[HTC Titan] N!njaDuck:
I think if the game data is stored in isolated storage, you can use those tools to download it it and then upload to the new phone.

Try this: http://wptools.codeplex.com/

You must be developer unlocked and only games that it can enumerate the GUIDs for will work. -- I HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY TRIED THIS

Hey guys and gals. I have a problem. I was trying to flash a Tom and I have bricked my phone. I can still get into download mode by using a jig. But any time I try to load a Tom I get a blackish red screen and it just stays there.

I've tried eclare froyo and gingerbread one click installs and all with the same results. It happened when I tried installing serindipity 7. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try heimdall one-click KB2. It should work fine. just flash once, then check the flash bootloaders button to flash again with repartitioning and bootloaders.

Ok. Ill try and find that tomorrow when I can get on my PC. Ill let you know how it goes. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
So, I'm playing with recovery... In particular, I'm working on replacing the stock recovery with CWM Recovery. A good nandroid backup is always the first step to hacking an android device.

I've managed to repack the recovery partition (finally) as unsecure (meaning I can boot into recovery, adb shell into the device, and have root access.) While in here, I'm just noticing something different on the tablet:

It appears that the firmware update from kies has added some odd bloat: the default factory recovery starts by copying several items from a "preload" partition to your /sdcard partition. How nice of Samsung to add even more addition BLOAT to our devices. (I'll be removing that aspect of recovery, I promise.)

Another oddity I'm finding is that, normally with these devices when they are booted normally (and adb is able to connect), the commandline "adb reboot recovery" will reboot the device into recovery mode. That does NOT happen with this tablet (but I'm not sure why.) I have to power down and power back on with the proper volume switch held down.

Okay... time for me to build a copy of CWM Recovery that'll (hopefully) work on this tablet. Wish me luck!

Gary
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
Thanks in advance! Always glad to hear the interesting finds in a new device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
ah, yes... the "new" shared partitions in honeycomb (and ICS.) No longer is there supposed to be dedicated space for /data and /sdcard partitions. They are supposed to use the same space.

Actually, that makes sense. You never have to use something like app2sd, because it's all really the same space. How it gets there, however, is annoying (when trying to reverse engineer a gingerbreak CWM recovery to a honeycomb device.) There is no /sdcard parition on this thing. /sdcard is actually a remap of the /data/media directory. Nice.

My problem is getting CWM Recovery to understand that. pfft.

I wish I could find some source for a CWM recovery partition for another honeycomb tablet. that'd make my life easier, I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
WARNING: Playing "world of goo" is a major distraction to getting other things accomplished.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
have recovery making a nandroid. This would probably be easier if I knew what I was doing. Oh, btw, who wants to test this stuff for me? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] netchip:
Hey,

I'm also working on it, I'm an dev who ported CWM to the Galaxy Note.

Wait a few hours and you will have CWM :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
I might have just beat you to it. ;) I'll give you a hint, though: honeycomb does some things with partitioning thats very different from previous android versions. CWM tries to take some of that into account, but because of how /data is set up in recovery.fstab, it's not detected that /sdcard should really be /data/media. (I'm rambling.. heh..)

Anyway, pershoot worked this out, so if you pull a specific changeset from his github (https://github.com/pershoot/android...mmit/6dacf061b8476c3e3e2857ca078df95706d62770), and apply it to the CWM in the current cyanogen 7.2, everything should work.

Well, so far everything appears to be working. I've validated the backup works, but haven't verified the restore. I've also modified the code to discourage people from partitioning their sdcards (and it's a bug in CWM that they can choose that option when /sdcard is just a symlink to /data/media)

Anyway, I'll dump the image someplace if anyone wants to mess with it. I honestly have NO idea how to build any kind of package to automate installing it. I've been using "dd" all night long.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
On second thought, maybe I'll go to bed... (been awake for over 24 hours)

I'm in the middle of testing the nandroid restores, and there's no way I'll post anything until I'm sure it works. Considering how tired I am, I'll feel better testing this when I'm rested.

One issue I'm REALLY getting annoyed by: For some reason, when I do a "adb reboot recovery", the tablet doesn't reboot into recovery. Even if I'm in a root shell, "reboot recovery" isn't taking me into recovery.

Good night!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
thank you guys so much! great job!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] netchip:
Is on this device the Download mode?

I compile my kernels from source, now I need a tester who don't care about warranty.

I use a module of the SGS2, I've contacted a few people experieced in param.lfs, and they say if the kernel can't mount it it says "logo.jpg not found" and it still boots further.

PM me if you are interested!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
posted CWM Recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
this is habit forming. ;)

the upcoming version will, in addition to being in a nice update.zip, will also install 'su' so you can root your tab and install recovery all at once.

I am _not_, however, installing the SuperUser application (which is needed as well.) That can easily be done from the market after installing this update file.

All will be documented soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Bromar:
I could swore I had an sdcard partition, under it's own or external
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
For the internal, it's not a real partition. The "/mnt/sdcard" mount is a FUSE link to /data/media. (It's a real parition on the external sdcard if you have one installed.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
I'm working with someone to get copies of the recovery and normal boot kernel partitions from the P6200 (international 3g.) Once I have that, and assuming my blind kernel compiles actually work, we'll have CWM recovery for that tablet as well.

Take care

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zorba:
I have an international 6200. If you tell me what you need and maybe some help in how to get it, I will dump whatever you want.

Z.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Entropy512:
BTW, have you confirmed that recoveries are incompatible between variants? The 10.1 was "one recovery fits all".
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Currently, they all share the same "recovery" binary (entire /sbin directory, actually), but they need different recovery.fstab files in the initramfs due to different /system (and /data, I think) locations. I'm not at home, so I can't check if it was only 'system' or both.

That one file being different causes them to have a different initramfs, and therefore a different zImage (recovery.img.) I once considered using init.rc to dynamically put a different recovery.fsab into place based on the tablet model at runtime, but how would I be able to determine the tablet model dynamically? default.prop would be useless (as it's also part of the recovery initramfs) and it wouldn't be a good idea for the RECOVERY to rely on the existance of valid data on any other partition. There are ways to take educated guesses based on partition counts and other strange things, but I don't think it's worth the risks.

I do have to admit that I've been having fun messing with this stuff.

Take care

Gary
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Entropy512:
Ah, that's odd/rare - kind of disappointing.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kodfish:
why disappointing? we have working cwm :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Here's the breakdown:

For the GT-P6210 (wifi only), system is on cache is on 7, system on 8 and data on 9.

For the GT-P6200 (international 3g), cache is on 7, system is on 9 and data is on 10.

The SGH-T869 (TMobile 3G), the partitions are the same as the 6200.

I also want to make sure I have accurate/authentic copies of default.prop for each of the tablets in the root of the inittabfs. That allows any CWM updaters to exploit edify and determine which model tablet is being used.

I actually use that for my own edify-from-hell scripts. This lets me do some sanity checks that I'm installing on the device that the recovery is designed for. For example (on the TMobile version):

ifelse(file_getprop("/default.prop", "ro.product.model") == "SGH-T869",
"",
(ui_print("**************************************");ui_print("ERROR: This should only be installed on a Samsung SGH-T869");ui_print("**************************************");abort()));

Then I started going a bit edify crazy, so I added something new: recovery.prop (in the root of the recovery initramfs) that I can (ab)use to check versions in case I need to do something nutty on an upgrade. Here's a sample of a recovery.prop:

clockworkmod.source.version=5.0.2.7
clockworkmod.custom.version=20111213

(That might be a good thing for koush to put into the main tree of his CWM recovery, but he hasn't responded to a single email I've sent, and the closest I can find for the ultimate source of the recovery is the cyanogen github.

Take care

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
excellent work.

might we ask what you do for a "day job"?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Pretty much the same thing, but mostly for Windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] :
Since there is nothing being developed here, Im moving this to the General section.

If you happen to get a package out and want to share it with everyone, feel free at that time to start a thread in the Dev section. Thanks for cooperating.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
er.. I did... and I did. (Well, 2 of the 3 are posted... the 3rd is being tested, but the link will likely be posted today.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] :
I see nothing posted here with a download link or an attached file... thats why this got moved.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
...right... I was referring to the thread I have on the dev subforum for the CWM Recovery for the P6200 device. It's kind of a place holder at the moment with no link. I'm doing too many things at once (in too many different places), so I'm getting confused. I'm using MS RDP via a HTTP proxy to my home Windows Server and into my Win7 machine that's running linux in a VM so I can ensure there aren't any more issues with the GT-P6200 (3g international) version of the recovery.

(Did you follow that?)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] :
Unless your work and home have a really good fast connection, I bet that RDP session is sort of slow. Its nice to see the dedication with the hoops your jumping through to get your work done and Im sure people here appreciate it... but if it seems to be too much or you're getting confused, then by all means slow down and wait until you get home.

Also, place holders are used for a few hours, not a few days.

AlsoX2, I like the new thread title.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
I'd slow down, but some rogue moderator keeps moving threads and bringing dead ones that are already closed back to life. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] :
I could close down all of your threads... that would slow you down real quick. :D

I appreciate the work you are doing for the Tab Plus, Im sure most people here do too.

When I take a picture using the stock camera App and then try to view it, it only shows me a blurry preview and it just says "loading" in the middle, but never loads the picture no matter how long I wait.

When I go to the stock gallery, I can see all of my pictures, but when I click on any of the thumbnails it does the same thing.

I am currently running stock 5.7.893, deodexed. Only mods I have made is this one from Droidjunk - Power Menu with Reboot & Reboot Recovery.

Otherwise everything is working great.

I downloaded QuickPik from the market and it works great. All pictures load just fine, as they should. Only problem I can't get QuickPik to load from within the camera app.

So it appears to be an issue with the stock gallery app.

How bout a smartbench2011 comparison?

I have found that benchmark app to be most reliable in terms of accuracy vs. Realworld performance
[Motorola Droid X2] Staggo:
Well this really says two things, more gHz doesn't mean faster (something that only us comp guys seem to know) and benchmarks don't mention why this differences are.

1. Resound has a resolution of 1280x720. DX2 has 960x540. Less resolution = faster calculations.

2. Rezound has a snapdragon S3, it's a Cortex A-8 architecture with optimized I/O and cache. DX2 has a Tegra 2-a CortexA-9- much better per-clock performance.

3. DX2 has LPDDR2 ram. As far as I know, Rezound only has DDR. DDR2 is much faster than DDR.
[Motorola Droid X2] WasabiWa83:
Alright, ran some smart bench test. These were the best I could get from both phones. The Rezound scores are first.

Smartbench 2011

Productivity: 3278.....2782

Games: 2358......2592

And the Rezound does have DDR2. It's pretty quick overall. It does take a lot to run that screen with such a high resolution, but I've done quite a bit with it and can't seem to get it to lag at all. It's a really amazing phone and extremely snappy. I hope they can get a permanent root solution soon. Just thought I would post these scores, though, to show that the DX2 is still worthy of attention. I just hope the devs don't drop it when the Galaxy Nexus comes out. I'd still love to see what this thing can do without that damn bootloader being locked.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I took ash advice and I am running eclipse 1.3 with v6 supercharger as he told how to set it up and also speedy 7. On benchmark 2011 I am getting 3200+ and 2600+ my phone is smoking fast right now.
[Motorola Droid X2] WasabiWa83:
Those are some damn good numbers. I was running Liberty with Speedy v7 and the build.prop mashup when I tested the DX2. I could never get Eclipse to run the way I wanted it to on my phone. I'll be getting rid of my DX2 because my friend needs a new phone, but I can't say that I won't miss it. The Rezound is a very solid piece of equipment with an absolute gorgeous screen, but the DX2 can still hold its own when comparing the two. I live in an area where the 4g is really strong, so the Rezound kind of destroys the DX2 in that regard. Plus, I'm a pretty big fan of Sense 3.5. The guys over at the Rezound forum say they have an ICS Sense 3.5 coming soon, so that should be cool. I'll certainly miss a lot about the DX2, but not enough that I'll regret getting the Rezound.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Coming from a former X2 owner, with every mod possible it bears no comparison to the Rezound. Those benchmark scores are not anything to take serious anyways, and we all know this. I would never go back to the X2. Not to mention, I pull 48Mbps DL and 22 UL on LTE. We don't even have root yet, and this phone is better than the X2. Sense 3.5 is VERY heavy though, so running a bench on it would be the equivalent of buying a phone with every bloatware app known to man, lol. Not to mention our Camera is immensely better, we have a front camera that is really good, for what it is.

Basically, my point is, don't go by these dump benchmark numbers. It is all going to be in user preference anyways.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yeah bro I feel ya

But I ain't buying the rezound until bootloader is cracked.

It just don't feel right.

Almost feels like the rezound is gonna be to HTC like the X2 is to.moto.

just got an eerie feeling its gonna be the "step child" no one cares bout.

And I REALLY hope im wrong cuz I was highly considering buying it lol

We will see what happens...

And even tho benchmarks aren't much to "go by" I have noticed my smartbench scores show very well how my phone is performing at that time...when scores have been crap my music skipped video lag etc...when I got good scores everything was smooth and sweet....I use it as a type of "guide" to what I should tweak :D
