[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Edited....no home internet...I have to think about that for a minute...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Very slowly download a rooted kernel from your phone and flash it with "mobile odin" from the android marketplace .... then download a rom like calkulin's rom using your phone's 3g/ 4g and boot into recovery and flash it ....

i think you would need something besides the stock browser to be able to download those types of files though ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Download the auto root package from here using your phone

[ROOT][NCIQ][EG30/EG31/EK02] Auto root your existing stock ROM (w/o ODIN/ROM Flash)

Download the Samsung Epic 4G Touch USB/Android drivers to your phone from here

E4GT USB/Android Drivers

Connect your phone to your PC using USB cable. A MTP device will show up in My Computer. Open that device and copy the files to your computer.

Disconnect your phone from your computer.

Install the USB/Android drivers.

Then follow the directions in the first thread.

Choose Option A to root

Choose Option C to install EG30+CWM.

That will get you rooted with CWM.

To install Calkulin's ROM, download the ROM to your phone.

Boot to CWM by powering down phone and waiting until all the capacitative button lights are off. Then press and hold [Power][VolUp]

Choose install from sd card and choose internal SD. Then choose Calkulin's ROM file.

Hi at all,

i read that a Member of xda got Opera Mini work on Windows Phone 7. But for this you must have an fully unlocked phone. The DeveloperUnlock isn't enough.

Does anyone know how to get my LG fully unlocked?

Thanks.

Very cool, especially as I am a big Opera fan. Unfortunately, there is no way to get this working on the Optimus 7... no unlocked or custom ROMs exist for our Optimus 7 as of yet.

Yes i like it too, especially the speed.

That sounds not very good. I hope that some customs rom will be developed.

I designed my wall with few widgets such as honeycomb clock and memo widget. But it won't load every time i restart my NT. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
which launcher are you using? i am using adw launcher and dont have that problem. it is the paid version though
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Yep, widgets don't work on the Nook Tablet for some people. (Actually, go launcher widgets work for me, but nothing else.) I wonder if this is a go launcher paid vs not paid issue though? Hmm.. I assumed it wasn't since it affected people with ADW launcher as well (unless they also had Go Launcher installed, just not using it).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357009&highlight=widget

Some people fixed it with a go launcher update or downgrade, some with not using homecatcher, some with adding 160dpi fixes to their build.prop file. The only one I haven't tried for me was the 160dpi edits, and nothing else has fixed widget issues for me.

Actually, a recent post I haven't tried is moving go launcher to the system folder. *tries* :)

edit: Yep, that fixed it. Or at least my non-go launcher widget is still there after one reboot, whereas previously it wasn't.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boradori:
Thanks guys!!

ffwalrus's post helped me to solve the problem!

So this seems to have worked for me on my Nook Tablet. Using Go Launcher 2.66 and Home Catcher to re-purpose the "n" button. Go Launcher is set as default upon boot, and upon hitting the "n" button. The 160 dpi fix mentioned above didn't work for me, and I was having this issue on all 2.65 and 2.66 of Go Launcher. This workaround seems to have fixed it for me. I got the initial idea from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360036

Using Root Explorer or similar tool move your alternate launcher APK from /data/app to /system/app. Change the permissions to 777 (all 3 rows checked in root explorer). Then restart, and you should be good. I have restarted numerous times now, and had no widget problems.

Step-by-Step Directions:

Open Root Explorer

Browse to /system

Click Mount R/W button

Navigate to /data/app

Long Press launcher APK file (for me it was com.gau/go/launcherex-1.apk)

Choose Move

Navigate to /system/app

Press Paste button

Long Press freshly pasted APK file

Choose Permissions

Check all the top 9 checkboxes (Read, Write, Execute for Owner, Group, Others), leave all others as they are.

Press OK

Navigate to /system

Press Mount R/O button

Restart Nook

Usual at your own risk disclaimer applies.

This method worked for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GTOJim:
Thanks, worked well, widgets keep working after a reboot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Voyaging:
Help me please. :) I think i accidentaly pasted into /system instead of /stystem/app and now i do not have goluancher. I am back to Nook UI.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Okay i got it...just in case someone else makes a similar mistake and needs this help:

i went to browser and installed amazon app store and then installed root exlplorer (had to pay again 3.99 alas). Then I was able to move it from /system to /system/app.

Now my widgets are there everytime i reboot. Awesome...thanks again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] edwardxi:
thx，this worked for me:)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I'm not 100% but if you had access to standard launcher you could have used the search function to load up your original file explorer (I always use es file explorer, works a bit better in some cases than root explorer and it's 100% free), then you could have moved your software back to the correct place. I think you can even find market using search if you needed to install.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] aceofspades626:
This works beautifully. Thanks so much!

Widgets are working after reboots again. I even left a couple failed widgets in place and they were restored without having to rebuild all my home screens :)

I agree that ES explorer is easier to use and being free doesn't hurt either.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
If I do this fix will Go Launcher still update properly?

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

I would actually recommend creating a symbolic link to the file instead of moving it. this will ensure that any changes and updates are made to the file in its original location.

I've verified that this works. follow all the steps, except instead of moving the file create a link in system/app that points to the apk in data/app.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
How do you create a link with root explorer?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] andrea89:
I use esexplorer and when I open the file manager it show me only the sd card file. How can I open the file system?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
you long tap on the file and select "link to this file". A button will appear that says "create link"...or something like that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
Ok. Thanks. Guess that was rather "noob" of me. Should've just tried first. Thanks!

Strange, when I create the link, the system folder will not allow me to revert back to R/O. Stays in R/W mode. Is that do to the link? Is it an issue?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bringingdadaback:
I've tried:

- the 160dpi fix

- getting rid of home catcher

- moving golauncher + all widgets to /system/apps and changing the permissions

Nothing has worked.

Any other workarounds out there? Would be eternally grateful.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] joeras:
widgets disapear

I used the link file method with root explorer, and when I rebooted there were no widgets on my screens. There were also no problem loading widget boxes either. When I tried to replace the widgets I found that the widgets were still there but invisible. When I long pressed on the screen I got the re size/delete box. I was able to delete and replace them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ChillFactorz:
I just recently pulled the GO Launcher and other apps out of the System\Apps folder, figured there was no real reason to have them their. I also updated GO launcher at the same time. I thought it was the update, that stopped the widgets on reboot, will try moving GO Launcher back to system\apps folder. I also moved all the GO themes and GO locker .APKs, should they get put into the system\apps folder as well. I am also having issues with GO Locker not coming up on reboot. does any body have an answer for GO locker?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
I have my launcher and beautiful widgets in system\apps folder and it fixed my issues. It has nothing to do with the update.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ChillFactorz:
I appreciate your response about GO Launcher, my question was about GO Locker. The GO Locker app turns off it's lock screen after a reboot, only the system lock screen is their. Again my question is, will moving GO Launcher app to the system\apps folder fix the GO Locker app issue? or should I move all the GO Apps, GO Themes, GO Widgets, GO Keyboard etc. .apks, to the system\apps folder to fix issue? I am a person who likes to know why as well as how. I already know how, and it's an easy fix, I just find it helpful to know as much of the why as possible. This gives me the tools to solve other issues later, and the knowledge to help others to.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
I asked this once before, don't remember if I ever got an answer; If you create a symbolic link in the system/apps folder, will it have the same effect as copying the original file?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eybarra2:
Andrea89. In esexplorer, go into settings-->home directory and change 'home directory' to '/' (basically, just delete 'sdcard/') and it should let you back out of the sd card folder instead of telling you to press back again to exit. Now you should be able to access the folders on the Nook itself :-)

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Is it possible to create a link to a file with esexploer? If so, how??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eybarra2:
You're the man, slgooding! Created the link instead of moving the original apk, worked like a charm! I've had to redo my widgets dozens of times, but not anymore!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] slgooding:
Glad it helped!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ChillFactorz:
I can also say that creating a link to the System/apps folder does fix the GO Launcher issue of widgets not working after reboot. I did have to also add a link to GO Locker to make that work correctly. I was also able to add other apps to the Lock screen after the link. Before by default the apps showing on the Lock screen were unlock, phone, camera. In the GO Locker settings I would change the apps to Kindle and Email app, after backing out of the settings menu the apps would go back to default. Linking the GO Locker app to System\apps folder fixed this issue and I can now change the apps on the lock screen, and they stay.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eybarra2:
Yo chillfactorz, thx for the go locker tip; just put go locker on my Nook tablet yesterday. Curious, tho; you can't download go locker from the market on your Nook tab, so how did you get it on there? I downloaded it to my rooted Sanyo Zio and uploaded the apk to my dropbox, then downloaded to my Nook tablet..

Update: Yo chillfactorz, I didn't know you can customize which apps to unlock on the go locker lock screen(which is stellar, btw), but when I go into go locker settings, I see no options to change the lock screen apps ... suggestions??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
Hey there,

Got my moms Galaxy over here. Thing wasn't updated and slow as hell so I thought I'd update it. Went through the Kies process but that didn't really work, phone just couldn't make connection despite what ever driver I used (win or mac, got both here).

So first things went haywire when I read somewhere to flash recovery I needed to do something via Heimdall. Did that with the command window and afterwards the phone got stuck in a bootloop (only the I9000+samsung repeating over and over again).

Then I tried flashing GB from samfirmware, which failed. All done through odin, the screen went purple at dbdata.rfs. So I went with stock froyo, from the androidworld.nl forums and same thing happens but now it's a blue screen at factoryfs.rfs.

What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
Try flashing again via Odin and this time don't touch your pc while it is flashing. That yellow purple screen has happened to me while I was doing other things while flashing was going on in the background.

And check if your phone is i9000 or i9000+ and flash the their respective firmware .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
Same thing, didn't do anything and screen went gray. This is so random for me, as flashing is SO easy with my own Desire but this thing is on a whole different level.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
Try changing your Odin version to 1.82 and try again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
Or 1.3 idk try both.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
Actually did both already! The 1.3 was from the 2.2 pack from the Dutch forum. Got 1.82 from the samfirmware website. No luck yet :(

1.82 shows a bootloader function, do I need to have one of those files with it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
No don't flash bootloader
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
I was about to try this actually! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196179

Since the screwup started with Heimdall, might fix it with that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
Watch a YouTube video and see if you're doing everything properly.

What I do is

1. Go to download mode

2. Open Odin, select pit, PDA, phone, CSC files. And remember to check the re partition option

3. Connect your phone

4. Click start.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
Maybe. I never used heimdall. Maybe you could try that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
Doing all that yeah, exactly in that order.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
Hmmm. Then I guess heimdall is your only hope ,since it started the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
Hmm, in Heimdall it gets all the way up to MODEM @ 59%. Then it fails and crashes..

weird

[edit] buuuuuuuut I got android recovery back! okay now we have progress! :)

and now by adding the packaged zImage from CM have CM.. progress again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabessius:
Are you using the original USB cable?. Same thing happened to me with a cheap ebay cable...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
Hm, no. It's a replacement cable (cheap) which I used for my Desire, no problem with that at all. Though it might be it indeed! Will be two days before I can get the original cable.

In the meanwhile I got CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.6 working.. while installing cyanogenmod it goes "checking blm status", then "install from sd complete".. a bit strange and it doesn't boot into the rom but into the recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabessius:
Switching back to the original cable fixed the problem for me. Hope it does for you as well, try that and tell us what happened!.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
Can I still use Odin then, now with CWM recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabessius:
You can use Mobile Odin by Chainfire (look for it in the market), it works exactly as an Odin built-in your SGS with no need for PC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
Uhm, well I can't get really into any market as no rom will boot at this moment..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipinsky:
Guys, thanks for the cable advice! Could get my hands on a SE cable and flashed 2.3.5 stock through Odin. Happy that I didn't wreck my moms phone :')
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schreibman:
Here are the issues:

After countless ROM flashes and mucking arounds with my NS4g, I have been settling in on AOSP's ROM, and it was working great.

Yesterday, it started not rebooting into ICS, sticking on the Google screen with the unlocked symbol.

I could boot into CWM recovery 5.0.2.0, but it could not see my sd card, so things like a restore wouldn't work.

So I launched adb, and from adb shell I could see the /sdcard directory, but an ls -al showed it empty.

I created a directory in adb shell, and when I went back and did an ls , the sd card was visible, and the prior structure in tact.

Here is my command prompt log, and you can see first there is nothing in /sdcard, then everything is back (below):

Now, it boots 'hit or miss' so I was wondering if anyone has any advice. SHould I wipe everything and start over ? If so, should I do this with:

fastboot oem lock and then fastboot oem unlock ?

Any other suggestions or ideas?

Hardware wise, similar - Sensation can be just as good. AMOLED is lovely, but to over-saturated for me, plus it being 800*480 rather than our qHD resolution, it's nice not being able to see as many pixels on the Sensation. I guess it also comes down to if ( wether means castrated ram ) you want a horrid;) plastic phone or a decent aluminium and soft touch plastic masterpiece ;)
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
If you go Sensation, just know, anything less than qHD will look 2007. It's really weird how that works, but nothing's quite like it. I know the Galaxy Nexus has 720p display, but it's penntile, so it's not really HD.

If you're no fan of sense, then go for SGS II. It's great phone, my wife has one, the screen is marvelous. I'm fan of sense, so I have a sensation which is great too..

There should be an option in the recovery menu.

My understanding of a soft reset is simply power cycling the phone.
