i am not a genius on this, but upon seeing what is "inside" updatescript, it's more or less a program that dictates which installs, like say, the boot.img, or the busybox.... but of course i can be wrong...

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

you can try to read this though...

According to Geekfor.Me

"This script is required for an “update.zip” style flash in Android so that it knows what it is actually supposed to do."
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] yani2000:
Hi!

The META-INF/com/google/android/update-script file inside an "update".zip archive is just a normal text file you can open with any text editor and edit it to your needs. It doesn't depend on any files, so you can safely copy it from another CWM update.zip file and put it in your newely created update.zip file for CWM flashing. Oh, and "update-binary" is also in the same folder as the "update-script" is.

The "update language/syntax" is a little bit strange, but nothing major to fuss about.

Hope you can do it! :)

thaanks for that link!!
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] D33J3Y:
so i guess the updater-script works for ext4 partitions and update script for .rfs....right?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wontstoptalking:
I went in to Best Buy to grab the fabled $300 Transformer (not Prime) last week. They had three boxes on the shelf. They told me that the Transformer was actually $400. I showed them the Best Buy website product page for the Transformer for $300. They said that was a different model. I said, "No, look, the specs are EXACTLY the same. It is different in no way whatsoever. It is the same device." They said that it was the "black Friday" edition. And they didn't have any of the $300 Black Friday editions, they only had the $400 normal editions.

First of all, that's bait and switch. That's saying "Oh, come into our store and get this device for only $300!" And then when you walk in they say "Nope, sorry, that's a DIFFERENT MODEL with the same specifications and build! It may be identical in every way, but it's different, and we don't have any." Bait and switch is illegal. If they somehow get around that by bending the law by selling the Black Friday devices under a different model number, that SHOULD be illegal.

TL;DR

Anyway, enough of that rant. On the Best Buy site, even the Black Friday $300 edition went back up to $400 just yesterday. Is this because of the delay with the Prime? Is there any hope of a $300 Transformer before Christmas? Or will I have to get the HTC Flyer? After the Prime is released, do we have any idea whatsoever on the pricing of the first edition? I know no one knows for sure. Even speculation would be nice.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
the prime isnt released till the week of the 19th so i dont know where you got your information
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wontstoptalking:
I was talking about the CURRENT Transformer. The TF101 or whatever. If I was asking about the Prime, this post would be in the Prime's forum :P

My question is does anyone have any valid speculation as to what might happen to the CURRENT Transformer's price after the Prime is released. I would like to know because last week the CURRENT Transformer was $300 at Best Buy (now it's $400 again. Possibly due to the delay of the Prime?)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelh_66:
Does ROM Manager back up my apps or do I need to run another program like Titanium to back everything up? I want to be able to make sure all of my programs and texts are recoverable after I flash a new rom. Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
If you make a nandroid backup, then yes, your apps are backed up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelh_66:
Will that save texts and is that another program I need to d/l?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
It will save your apps and texts, but those will not be recoverable on your new rom. If you restore your nandroid, you're restoring everything - rom, kernel, apps, data, etc. If you want to restore apps/data & texts on another rom after wiping, you'll need to use Titanium Backup for apps and SMS Backup & Restore (or another app of your choice) for texts.

I highly suggest purchasing the Pro version of TB. You get a ton of useful features like background restores and it's worth it for how much you'll use it. I bought it from the Market but I've heard that it's a bit cheaper from the website. The free version should be enough if you don't want to buy it.

Also avoid restoring system data across different roms, it can cause problems.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
The free version does not allow restoring apps from nandroid.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
I believe mybackuppro on the market will backup texts and call history. Not 100% sure...check it out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
But it does allow you to backup your apps and data. I didn't even think about that feature because I don't use ClockworkMod.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crzchn:
OK, so I searched how to re-calibrate the battery of the Epic 4G Touch after a ROM flash and I get about 10 different answers.

If anyone knows the correct, tried, and tested way to do this I would love to know and maybe it could be a sticky?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tramane:
Easiest way is the tried and true method of charging to 100%, wiping battery stats, using the phone until it dies, charge up to 100% before turning it on, turn it on un-plug re-plug charger, charge to 100% and go

I use a battery calibrator app after charging to 100% there are several in the market
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
According to some people who are a lot smarter, or at least know much more about this stuff than me, says this does nothing on Galaxy S class phones. Here's a link to a thread that provides a calibration method, but even Entropy states that this method isn't even necessary for most people.

Hi guys,

I have tried search, but can't find it any where,I love this phone but how do I set a default screen as my home?I use screen 4 as my centre, but if I press the centre button it always takes me to screen 1, can this be changed? Also stock room being used.

Thanks guys if you can help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
yeah its a touchwiz feature, if you want to call it that. Screen 1 is the default home page and cannot be changed without being modded. You might want to check the sgs2 section under apps/themes and find the modded touchwiz versions.

This link is for modded versions of touchwiz. If your rooted make a backup and try a couple versions and report back. If not, you made want to contact the OP of that thread and see if he can mod the note version.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GuestX0057:
Just don't forget that the TouchWiz for SGS2 isn't the same as the Note. It only has 4 icons at the bottom etc. The Notes TW needs to be edited separately.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] speedofheat:
Just move your favorite screen to screen 1.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reynwrap582:
This might be a good reason to try one of the many other awesome launchers out there. ADW and LauncherPro are two good ones to try, no rooting necessary.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
Should try clicking on my link first before saying that. The OP of the thread I posted has ported the notes and a couple other modded version to allow a bigger grid then the 4x4 of sgs2. Once your rooted, make a backup first, then it wouldnt hurt to try. If things go wrong just recover your backup.

Im one the rare people that actually likes/can deal with touchwiz.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
Sorry, but this just isn't true!

From your homescreen, press menu and then edit. You will get a screen showing all your homescreens in a sort of "star" formation. Long press on the screen you want to move and then when it becomes "moveable" drag it to the top left of the star (where your current page 1 is).

Job done!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
I guess he wanted to move the home to page 3 lets say so his home screen is on he mid of the rest of the screens. Even now it is too because you can go from page 1 to the last one who is located to the left. You couldn't do that on previous version if I am not mistakenon
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidflea:
Really appreciate all you're help here guys, but what I want is to press the centre button and not have it go to the first screen, screen four is my choice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
I get what he's saying. I have 3 screens and I want screen 2 to be the home screen. Of course I did like that one poster said and edited it, dragging screen 2 to the home position, so now everything I want on my home screen is on the home screen, and but it's still screen 1, not 2. Yes, I I know I can still scroll left to get to screen 3 (as if it were screen 2 to 1 transition), but the scrolling wallpaper goes backwards. I want my home screen to be in the center of my wallpaper.

I tried ADW Launcher since they had the $0.10 sale on it, and it was great, up until I finished adding my last icons and widgets, then it got laggy. If it hadn't been for the lag, it would've been perfect.

No, you can only change the icons with a background picture which looks cool but creates tiles that are not live so your notifications and stuff like that won't work. I know it sucks ass.

Nice guide .

I haven't rooted yet and just checked what chip I have and its the bad one.

So I've been reading and see all this stuff about the bad chip and see a lot of people still flashing with no issues , has it been proven that this is definitely the cause of a brick , what I mean is if I root will my phone definitely brick after time?

Edit: I hope the my touch I got for my son has the good chip cause I'll be switching phones lol.

Either way this thing is getting rooted I can't stand this my sense crap and with the hw in this phone I know it can be so much more then how it is stock, I mean damn my old evo blows this thing out of the water the way it is now and this thing has a newer processer more RAM and more internal memory.

i have the exact same issue as you and i dont really want to proceed until i can have this sorted out because i'm worried it might be a more serious problem since i bought the phone off craigslist not from tmobile.

if anyone can help on this issue would greatly appreciate it. i'm not sure if its the phone changing all "i" into capital "I" that's making the command not work and if it is i have no idea how to correct that since it's like an auto-correct function of terminal emulator

that is REALLY weird... never seen that happen before O_O

which terminal emulator app are you using?

It's alleviating to know that it wasn't just me! I'm using the Android Terminal Emulator made from Jack Palevich(Can't post links, still a newb). I'm sure gerbilunit uses that as well since my terminal app capitalizes the 'I' in 'device' too.

Confirming for my self and everyone reading this:

Difference between SEM04G vs M4G2DE

SEM04G is more superior in terms of rooting (nothing else?) and SEM04G can be rooted worry free?

M4G2DE has riskes associated to the rooting of it?

Thank you!!!
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
technically, rooting won't harm it. it's the stuff you do after rooting, i.e flashing.

so i wouldn't say SEM04G is completely safe, i mean, everything has to die at some point... but it is the better of the two.

but who knows? many users (unfortunately not me) lucked out with the M4G2DE chip... so really, it's asking yourself. are you willing to risk it?

Great guide. For those with the M4G2DE chip, you can still root, but it's a bigger pain in the neck.

I have 2 MT4Gs, both rooted and flashed.

Mine wasn't updated and had the SEM04G chip. Easy to root using methods with visionary.

My wife's was 2.3.4 updated with M4G2DE chip. Downgrade was easy enough. Rooting was a pain in the neck.
