[Thinkpad Tablet General] MrZombieAndMe:
Alright, now I realize this is the Thinkpad section but there doesn't seem to be an Ideapad one. I've been out of the Android game for a very long time, and finally came back with a Lenovo K1 Ideapad.

My big issue is I don't know how to create a system.img, boot.img or recovery.img from the Canadian OTA zip on the Lenovo site so I can flash them onto my tablet. I managed to use the root tool available in the development section to root my tablet with a US firmware. However after experiencing a lot of freezing and my tablet not responding, I felt as if I should revert back to the Canadian firmware. My problem is I forgot to create backups for the previously mentioned images so I can't flash them back and restore my tablet.

If someone could please explain or even direct me to where I can learn the steps in creating them (I just installed linux because so far it seems like that would be the first step), it would be a great help. I took the img files from a different root tool and tried those, they changed the system to a chinese firmware but I at least know it works if I could get the Canadian ones. I can go back to the US one if I really wanted but what I want is to just put this thing back into its original state that it came in.

Even if someone could just post those files, it would be greatly appreciated. I've been scouring the internet for days to try and gain some enlightenment, but it isn't happening. Probably since development on this thing isn't as hyped as others.

Thank you.

I'm still stock and not rooted so I would like to know how to back up my current system before rooting .....maybe I can be of some help if I can get my sys backed up
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:
***method doesn't appear to work***
[Thinkpad Tablet General] timmyDean:
On the K1 you cannot. Lenovo has it locked down so there's no way to back it up without root. The only way to root it is to flash it which wipes it clean. Thee ole catch 22.

Now, if you read through the leaked keys and rooting tips, they talk about fastbooting to ASUS boot.bin and then backing up before you start rooting. It definitely works to backup, but I haven't found anyone that has successfully used them to restore from and I could not get them to restore. So, in my opinion, that backup method is worthless because you cannot use them.

In Linux, you just mount system.img and then read and write to it. If you are using Windows then you can download drivers that let you mount the the system.img as a disk drive.

I use Windows for everything, no need to use Linux. For cooking, Google Cygwin which runs on Windows and is kitchen for 'cooking ROMS'.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] MrZombieAndMe:
Alright thanks timmyDean for the answers. I noticed you uploaded a tool to revert back to stock. So I was thinking of giving it a shot. I'm just hoping it won't be too much of an issue if I install the US rom. I'm thinking it won't let me use OTA updates since I'm in Canada, but I can probably just do the manual method for installing the updates. The box for my K1 says US, and we usually get the same pieces of hardware as the states with just a modified OS.

Hoping this works, fingers crossed :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] timmyDean:
I loaded a tool to goto CA stock too and already tested it for you.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MrZombieAndMe:
Thank you so much man, I just used your tool. Flashed the stock US, then put my CA one and it worked like a charm. You've honestly made me so happy.

Too bad the K1 in Canada is still at 3.1 and doesn't look like it'll get 3.2 (fingers crossed we for sure get ICS).

Anyway I am very thankful. I've looked over the tools but I don't see a lock thread option, hopefully a mod will do so promptly.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnerve:
I have been using my Xperia x10a to tether for the past year. Recently ATT&T has sent me a letter in the mail saying that if I do not discontinue tethering that they will automatically add me to a $45 plan instead of the $30 that I pay now for the internet usage. AT&T stated that they are giving their customers until December 31st to stop tethering if they do not have the plan after I called them. My question is, did AT&T recently figure out a way to track tethering for I have also done it on my Iphone 3g since 3 years ago?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnerve:
Bump...please help
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zehroone:
hum

I think tracking tethering on android is not posible...I mean..they have to see exactly what programs are you using....and how do you use them...thats invading ur personal space...i think the way they are tracing tethering...is on looking how much bandwidth you use....and if they have like a apk that installed and sents them info oin how you use your tethering you can just block it with a firewall....just an opinion.....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redincali:
As far as I know, they can't track android tethering. The iphone uses an alternate apn for tethering, so they're easily tracked. The android uses the phone's normal apn. They would have to scan your data packets to determine where your data is going/coming from. Which I doubt they will because that would become expensive. I would assume thats an invasion of privacy as well.

I use my tethering all the time and I've only had one message from att, which was about two months ago, regarding tethering. I had got a warning saying my data was at 90% then later I got one saying i should change to a tethering plan if i want to tether. It never said anything about them changing my plan automatically if I used it. So I'm thinking they just noticed it was used up quickly. I had tethered to my console to watch netflix on the TV, which took about 1.4gb, and it played perfectly.

My USB port is hosed and Ive read that you can buy a flex cable and just replace the entire logic board/adapter but I'm unable to find a place that sells them specifically for the ATT SGH-I777. Every store online only sells replacement parts for the i9100. Does anyone know id either the usb port or the flex cable itself from the i9100 is compatible with the ATT SGS2?

Thanks

I'm working on my very first theme and I was wondering if anyone would actually be interested in it or not.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
I personally do not care but I know there have been people that have asked for a purple theme before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Just got my girl on this phone and I keep trying to convince her to let me play with it lol and the only way she will is if I can get her a purple theme --- so I know at least one person would be happy with it haha :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
Don't think it would be majorily popular but could be good for those who need one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KelvCast:
Honestly there's not a single "girly" theme available for the touch. My chick would def appreciate a purple or pink theme
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I think its a great idea...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cray-z:
Go for it! The more themes the better, even if there are not a lot of people using it. IMO there seems to be a lack of non-ICS/blue themes out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MDK666:
I would do purple, better be pretty awesome though. Got a link to something you got in mind?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Purple is nice if done cleanly and not overpowering, if its girly style I don't like so much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sianaka:
I would like a purple theme as long as the icons arent changed and there is some variation throughout the rom. I think it would be cool if it was like ics or ciano theme where it is mostly dark/black with bright highlights.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crazy_dragonlady:
Well, I didn't think I would get any replies ;)

I am workin' on the theme as we speak... man... there sure are A LOT of images to change.. and I'm still workin on the first folder LMAO.

Anyways, it's not really "girly" but just purple. It's a dark purple with yellow highlights as I think yellow/purple look quite well together. I just hope the edits I'm doing all look ok where they go.... I'm learning on the fly what each element does so it'll be quite rough in the beginning and I will be asking for people to help me fix the errors that I make and y'all find.

What icons are you talking bout? The icons in the app drawer? If those are the ones I'm not sure what I'm going to do to those just yet.

Any suggestions would also be appreciated as well... I'll see if I can make them fit into the theme.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
Did you install anything besides the ics theme? I'm on calks 2.5.1 with the overstews ics theme, the blue font fix, and the ics dialer v3. When I try to install anything from rom toolbox it never changes anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
I am using UnNamed 2.0.1., Overstews ICS, and the ICS Dialer, and Desperado Kernel.

The only Icons I can not change with Rom Toolbox are the Bluetooth, signal, and 4g icons.

Within the RomToolbox app, under theme manager, there are themes there by "Don't Panic" They will change your icons too along with other things but they definitely don't install everything they say they will. The dialer themes don't work either (i didnt think they would). But I Def make changes with Rom Toolbox all the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
To me it all depends what kind of purple ? Girly bright neon purple NO. But a cool deep purple if done right would look great. Just stay away from the pink tones in it.

But anything is better than Gingerbread green, never understood why they chose that color. I am digging ICS blue though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
Personally I think there should be a theme for us girls who like pink tones. So many themes for you boys lol. If I had the time, I would use my sick photoshop skills to make a theme for the wifies but I don't. By the time im done with it I would be behind on updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scottypimpin636:
If it was a darker purple as a secondary color with black as the primary I'd be all over it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crazy_dragonlady:
Well, once I get this one done I might just think about doing a more "feminine" one... right now my main thinking is keeping it simple and using purple more of a highlight color rather than being overwhelming with it.. the text will be yellow and the secondary text will be white... or some variation thereof LOL that's the plan anyways. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

This is just a taste to let y'all know what the colors will look like... there is still quite a bit to be done but now that I finally figured out what I was doing wrong while compiling it should go a lot faster.

I was wondering if there was a way to change the home button from holding the power button and selecting home to just tapping the power button and having that serve as the home button.

Furthermore, is there a way to changed launchers in CM7?
[Kindle Fire General] aoaleman:
Not sure but in Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Tablet tweaks > Choose soft-buttons, you can put the home button right on the screen. :)

Not sure if you knew that but if not, now you know. :D

[Kindle Fire General] devilot:
Download Flash Player from the Market.
[Kindle Fire General] aoaleman:
Yes, exactly what Devilot said. Adobe Flash from the Market should do the job.
[Kindle Fire General] cccodyyyy:
Has anyone thought of taking the ICS virtual buttons and porting them into CM7?
[Kindle Fire General] Lkr721993:
in regards to installing flash from the market, it says 'incompatible with your device'. i'm having the same issue with Dolphin Browser HD at the moment
[Kindle Fire General] aoaleman:
That's strange. Maybe go into Recovery and clear cache and Dalvik-cache? You're using CM7, correct?
[Kindle Fire General] dredd0606:
I'm using CM7 as well, and flash installed fine for me. Just make sure to do a Delvik/Cache wipe AFTER you install the ROM, and you *should* be fine.

As far as launchers go, definately check out GO Launcher EX v2.71. Its not available in the market yet, just off their website, but its made specifically for 7 and 10 inch tablets.

look for flash player 10.3 apk, i had the same problem and that worked for me :) you have to reboot the tablet after you install it for it to work

Yeah like mono feo0 said, try Flash 10.3.186.7.

If not, also try 11.1.111.5.
[Kindle Fire General] Lkr721993:
reinstalling CM7 did the trick. unfortunately i have to reinstall everything now

I'm sorry to read that. But next time use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data. Makes things so much easier. On a brighter note, I'm glad you got it working. :)

to be honest, i have nothing to complain about, I only had CM7 running for a few hours, there isn't that much to put back on it. i will check out titanium backup though!

Cool! Enjoy your CM7 powered Kindle Fire. :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klown80:
I don't know if you knew or not, but when flashing roms on an Evo on Boost you need to reset the mms settings to send/receive MMS messages after each flash.

To do this on sense roms, you simply dial ##3282#, select "Edit Mode", enter MSL, and select "Advanced". Then you scroll down to "MMS SERVER URL". There you need to erase the current and put "http://mm.myboostmobile.com" and you will be good to go.

For AOSP roms you will have to get a 3rd party messaging app, I use Go SMS Pro. For that one, you go to settings, scroll down to "MMS settings", and for "MMSC" you put the same as above. For "MMS Port" you put "80" and you will be good to go
