the beauty of this tool is that you dont use batches and programs on your computer ;)

its all on the phone and will boot you to recovery to flash the rom you want (as soon as he gets all the bugs worked out. im just the guinea pig here, inputting little value)

I've have been able to flash a kernel in recovery. I was using the first compile i think. First step I did was reboot recovery from advanced then I wiped dalvik and flashed the zip containing the kernel. It seemed to work anyways.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Thank God... lol

It hasn't gotten that bad yet, with not that many people needing to flash kernels, but I was waiting for the onslaught of problems involving it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
I'm still a little weary...idk I've never really liked not having control over something like this because if my phone bricks, at least I know its my fault. But I could see the benefit being out and just downloading the ROM/kernal straight to my phone and flashing it. And I definitely see the benefit for people that don't have a single clue what their doing. Would help cut down on the same 1000 help me posts...lol.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
bet it didnt flash a kernel even if it was included in the zip....

Appreciate all the help testing! Will keep this thread around if more issues are encountered.

For the time being I'm going to close down this thread as I've posted a new official thread!

Ok, I just want to cover all my bases and make sure everything is set for me.

I rooted my ATRIX, installed ROM manager pro and Titanium backup pro, backed up my apps and data with Titanium, and flashed clockworkmod with rom manager.

I have the Alien rom and the alien theme downloaded and put on my sdcard.

From what I understand I just click install rom in rom manager and it should all be good correct?

Thanks for any advice! I just want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly.
[General Questions and Answers] ibjelot:
Jup thats one way to do it. And it is a good method!

So go ahead and flash it if you already haven't done it
[General Questions and Answers] mchstream:
Sounds good to me.
[General Questions and Answers] mustang8650:
should would fine long as your phone likes cwm, i had a lil issues with it myself but i'm running a new rezound that doesn't have the best support with it yet, i switched to amon ra recovery as it seemed to have a lil more to offer and didn't give me a issue with the scripts some roms use, long as that phone is well supported by cwm you should be fine tho
[General Questions and Answers] bodhisattva99:
Or you can just boot intoo clockworkmod recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" and point to the zipfile of the new rom. A wipe is usually necessary and also doable from the recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] 2630qm:
Well, almost. You also need to unlock the bootloader before you can flash a ROM. You mentioned that you backed up your data using Titanium Backup, which is fine, but you should also create a backup in recovery. That way, if something goes wrong and you end up with a phone that won't get past the boot logo, you can simply boot into recovery and restore your phone to exactly how it was before. Just make sure you have at least 2GB of free space on your sd card so that it can perform a full backup. To perform a backup, turn off your phone, then right as you're turning it on again, hold the volume down button until "fastboot" shows up. Then press the down volume button until you see "Android Recovery." Now press up to enter recovery. From there, navigate to backup. I realize that this isn't necessary, but I soft-bricked my phone the first time I tried to flash a rom, and if I had done a proper backup, it would have saved me a lot of grief.

Hope this helped!
[General Questions and Answers] Ricfil:
I would also make a Nandroid backup of the current system just in case. Nandroid backups never failed on me when needed. I do believe it is a good "go to" option if a restore backup is needed.

Just my two cents:)

My new galaxy tab 10.1 (7510) was working fine, I plugged it in before I went out cause the battery was about 50 % and when I came home (3 hrs. later) it was completely dead. Can't turn it on at all. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Not to sound rude because I got confused with this the first time with the volume buttons. Hold down power and the volume button closest to it witch is actually down don't want you holding the wrong buttons. I have had this prob before just hold those buttons tell it turns on those buttons also help if the tab and or phone freezes it reboots the tablet.

Thank you so much for your help. It is back up and working fine. If it had been my phone I would have just popped the battery out for a second but this scared me for some reason. Maybe because it's. brand new. I guess I'll be OK if I just think of it as an oversize phone. Anyways thanks again everyone. :rolleyes: Sorry that was supposed to be the Smiley. :rolleyes::)

Igive up. I'm using the Thumb keyboard and for some reason there are times when it won't let me correct a mistake. Gonna have to find out how come.

Every time I plug in my Galaxy Nexus to PC via USB, I get a message that pops up saying that my speed could be faster if I used USB 2.0 ports and it shows me which ports on my computer (3A3A, 3A3C, etc.).

Anybody know what this is and how I can repair? I've tried moving my cable to other ports on my comp (front, back, etc.) and continue to get this message. As far as I know, all of my USB ports are 2.0...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I am guessing you need to reinstall usb drivers for your pc, phone or both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
arbiter is probably right. if you have USB 2.0 ports, and unless your computer is like 10 years old, you do, then something really trashed your usb drivers.

your best bet is to search for windows 7 usb drivers, or go to a windows 7 forum and ask there if you can't find what your looking for on your own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
Any chance it's the USB drivers on my Galaxy Nexus? How would I fix/update those?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Not on your nexus. I meant drivers for your phone on windows. There are android and samsung drivers. But honestly i think you should goto device manager and see if there are any exclamation marks relating to usb interfaces. Also check the manufacturer of your pc, gigabyte and windows update and see if there are any updates to your motherboard, specifically your chipset and usb drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
How will I know that my speeds could be better? I can't see the transfer rate in the dialogue window when transferring via MTP.

I added a 4.5GB Movie file and it took 15 minutes. Does that sound about right? (I think that's around 5MB/sec)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eps3:
I'm experiencing the same issue except it only occurs intermittently.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meaple:
I would be happy with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Se7enLC:
Had this problem as well. Fixed it by installing the usb drivers from Samsung website. The default windows 7 composite device drivers apparently incorrectly report that error. I have only usb 2.0 ports on my computer and got the error - error went away when I installed the Samsung drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgmorris:
+this

In my case it's on Win 7 and I've got current drivers installed as I recently rooted the phone. I only get this message with the GNex. All my other USB devices work fine with all the 2.0 ports.

Reinstalling the Samsung drivers appears to have helped...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLT24:
Hey guys i just got a new motherboard for my computer and it has usb 3.0. I know the transformers usb cable is a 3.0 cable, but when i plug it in to the 3.0 it says device cant be started. But if i plug it in the 2.0 it works great. So is the problem with my transformer? Or the motherboard? i dont have another 3.0 device to try but i did try a 2.0 device in the 3.0 port and it also didnt work. I know its 2.0 compatible.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitekidney:
You should try another USB3 device.

It sounds like it is your motherboard, because USB3 is backwards compitable with USB2, so if the USB device doesn't support USB3 it should pop up as a USB2 device.

In your case it is not functioning at all.

Try another USB3/USB2 device in the same port and check if it is working. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLT24:
Thanks so much for the help! I dont have any other 3.0 devices but i will try other 2.0 and and see what i get. If all else fails i will just return the mobo and get a new one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinMartin:
I think you might be wrong about the transformer being usb 3.0 compatible. The transformer cord uses a usb 3.0 connector wired up in a propriotary way to enable an 11 volt power connection for charging. This is not supported by the usb 3.0 spec and it might screw up the backwards compatibility of the port.

Which recovery are you using?

I always flash ROMS/Kernels without a PC and i m on hboot 1.50 .....But you still need flash image GUI. It worked fine for me (never broke the recovery). Just dont flash 2.3.3 kernels on 2.3.4 ROM.

I think i should make a guide......but if anything goes wrong you will need a PC.

But till now everything is fine for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
Do you have the latest version of "flash Image GUI" ? Bc that could mean a great deal when it comes to flashing. I currently have the latest on and never had an issue. I did once before flash w/ v3 and v1 and it did work but did have some glitches ( depending on handset) but I would search the forum if you don't have it and if you can't find it I can upload the latest one for you and then you can go from there...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjack0310:
Hey guys,

Since I am making a post here, you can probably tell that I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 2.

A friend of mine has a Galaxy S 2 on Sprint which comes equipped with a "Galactic Core Live Wallpaper" . I know that there is an app on the Marketplace called Galaxy Core Live Wallpapers which has about 10-15 other live wallpaper, but the quality and the animation in this application is just not the same as the original stock wallpaper on Sprint and T-Mobile Galaxy S 2s

I was wondering if there is a way to port this particular wallpaper from the Sprint or T-Mobile version to use on AT&T.

Again, I know about the application on Marketplace by A.O.I Studio but its just not the same

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjesusfreak01:
I have Galaxy Core Free installed on my SGS2 running Unnamed and it hasn't given me any problems. The graphics are smooth and detailed with no artifacts. Are you running a non-standard ROM? When I installed CM9 on my SGS2 for testing the graphics on this wallpaper were not nearly as detailed. It might be a driver issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjack0310:
Nah its the stock ROM. I just have it rooted. The graphics and animations were just fine with the application but compared to the original it doesnt measure up. But I guess its the best I can get!

and I am only looking for the Galactic Core Live Wallpaper - not the other wallpapers that come with the application.

Thank You
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wonner:
Shouldn't the apk pulled from the Sprint's SGSII work just by installing it (no porting)? Maybe post a request for the apk over on their forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjack0310:
I have no idea. My friend with the Sprint S2 is 'noobier' than me and didnt wanna root his phone. So he cant use Titanium Backup Pro to backup the wallpaper. but I will try the Sprint forum and ask there.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thejanitor86:
it should be easily taken out of one of the stock sprint sgs2 roms. but maybe someone will isolate the .apk for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nbell13:
the galactic core live wallpaper by kittehface software is much better than the one you are referring to, imo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjack0310:
yeah it is pretty cool I agree, but its still a personal preference.

The galactic core application by AOI has almost the exact same live wallpaper but if you compare it to the original stock live wallpaper its just not the same:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oblivion0:
Hey everyone,

Wondering if anyone has some across (and found a solution for) the below quirks I've discovered with my otherwise amazing phone.

1. Audio volume lowering when headphone jack is inserted. This is frustrating while driving, as I use my phone's audio output via an AUX cable.

2. Voice Search: "Set Alarm" voice action does not work - try it, you'll get a blank screen. My best guess, something conflicting in Samsung's native Alarm app.

3. Battery issues. I'm coming from an Evo so I get very used to the color coded battery power indicator icon. Can anyone explain why my Android OS seems to be occupying anywhere between 40-70% of the phone's battery use? I have all background data services disabled, but am using Samsung's native mail app w/ Exchange Activesync (which I read may be a culprit).

My anecdote is today when I rebooted my phone at seemingly 40% battery life, upon restart it started giving me the angry popup of "low battery status". This was after about 3 hours of heavy use. Do I need to juice defender this puppy?

The native Gingerbread power manager makes it more difficult (for me) to accurately gauge battery life since it shows aggregated data per each charge disconnect, versus when the phone is from full charge to none. Any third party apps that can help me better assess A) Battery usage and B) true battery life?

Thanks!!

(PS. Sold my Evo today, need to update my sig...)

better battery stats app will help you assess your usage better... you may want to look into kobridge's tweaks, or just undervolt/under clock... that'll help extend battery life a lot...

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AugustusBot:
I use Calibre to send over books/magazines to Main Memory, and I noticed today that it is sending it to my user allowed 1gb portion. I thought until now that Calibre was just that awesome, and was sending onto the BN partition. But it is in fact sending to /media/My Files/Books (and /mnt/media/My Files/Books).

I have ES File Explorer and root, and also can get into /system if needed due to a mount /sys app. I want to be able to Cut / Paste the files from my Calibre directory (directories...).

What I'm wondering is 2 things.

First... Do I cut from /mnt/media, or just /media? What's the difference between the two?

Second... where do I put these files in order for them to be on the BN partition of 12gb, and have access to them from the library app?

/media/B&N Downloads/Books

/mnt/media/B&N Downloads/Books

/data/books

/data/media/B&N Downloads/Books

I THINK that /data/media/B&N Downloads is the directory I'm looking for, I just wanted to be sure and maybe help someone else out w/ the question/answer here...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anxiyz:
I've tried figuring this out as well. I tried moving ebooks to the actual directory where NookBooks download to (data/media/B&N Dowloads/Books), and they aren't detected.

The only directory I've tried that works is under system/media/books. Unfortunately, there is only 600MB available here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AugustusBot:
I moved a folder into /system/media/books and after stopping and restarting the Library app, the books within the folder did show up in the Library.

However after long-pressing the book, i noted Delete was not an option from the library.

Not a huge deal... if i want to delete them I can simply mount /system as rw, open ES File Explorer, and delete them.

Can anyone confirm that the /system/ location is actually on the B&N 12gb partition?

edit: this doesn't really resolve my secondary objective, of getting Magazines to show up in the Magazine tab of the Library (there is no /system/media/magazines!)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] OMGitsShan:
Do you get issues with the cover picture showing on the nook? I use Calibre to put in the cover pic and metadata before I manually transfer them over (thanks for the tip that Calibre could actually do it for me!) but what really pisses me off about the nook is that it is totally random in terms of covers showing up. I cant suss it out? Ive tried different sizes, resolutions etc and still its hit and miss as to what shows and what doesnt. I would just like to know what conditions make a cover show up and what doesnt? Sorry, I know this isn't an answer to your questions but just thought i'd ask =)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AugustusBot:
As far as epub books... if the cover doesn't show up after you transfer it, in calibre, convert the book from epub to epub. I think theres something wrong in the initial tag file, like 'Cover' instead of 'cover'. You could try to fix the file (.mpf i think) manually, but I've had no trouble so far converting epub to epub, which does fix the issue.

As for magazines in .pdf format... the nook will not show covers for .pdfs, not sue why, and if i try to convert it to epub the resulting file is only 2 pages long.

So... my reccomendation there is to name all your magazines w/ an author of like Magazine, or manually copy the .pdfs into the Magazines folder at like mnt/media/magazines or somethin. It shows up in the MyNook drive when you connect it. At that point... at least all your coverless files are in one row on the nook...

(I sort by author, and show just book covers. I name all my epub series w/ 'Series Name VII: Book Name', that way the series displays in order.)

Hope this helps.

Oh... one last thing... a lot of my books... the cover is just a little too large for the area on my nooks bookshelf, which ends up cutting off the bottom 10% or so of the cover, until i click on the book. Then as it's opening, it shows me the full cover. If anyone has any fixes for that, fill me in!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanceot:
AugustusBot is correct regarding epub files. Nook is very specific how the cover image is name and meta-tag. It must be "cover.jpg" or "cover.jpeg". Any other file name used by some publishers or epub authors simply won't work. I think Calibre simply renames the files and updates meta-tag. I fixed my epub files using Sigil.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] OMGitsShan:
Thanks for the help guys! After I add the covers and metadata, I then save the file - which Calibre processes by saving the folder by author then title and the book with the cover and the book itself. But I am assuming that converting it from epub to epub is not the same as I have been doing, which is just saving it. I'll definitely give it a shot. I didn't realise everything had to be so case specific etc. I just presumed that once Calibre saved it - it formatted the cover and labelled it in the proper way since the name from the original source file of the covers are always random and varied.

It sucks that pdfs don't have the cover shown. I kinda like pdfs to remain in that format but why B&N cannot put the cover to display is beyond me. They cant even use a small font to get the entire file name to show on the cover which is how I label my pdfs.

My second gripe is that the way the books are displayed on the home screen - there is no real alignment because they dont make the thumbnails the same size so some book covers are wider than others etc. I hate seeing some books a pixel or two higher or to the left/right compared to others.

I thought the Color gave the B&N devs time to practice their skills so that the Tablet would be better but to me it seems there is still work to be done.

I had tried using Sigil last week to fix an epub book but found it complicated to use. I'm sure i was just not doing it right even though for editing epubs it seems to be the best there is.
