[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jpnelson40:
I often find myself wanting to show someone a picture or current screen display, but when I hand them my phone either touching the screen or one of the buttons or making that gesture suddenly changes the screen, or moves the picture. Is there some way to freeze the screen on purpose so it can be passed around safely?

I know about screen capture programs (Screenshot, Shootme) and the screen capture built into some ROMs Power Menu, but those don't keep the resulting scene on the screen (one needs to use a file program to find the graphic, which is clumsy and time consuming).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
I agree, i always give my phone to my relatives or friends and they always press the back or home button somehow -.-!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
One solution , would be to use a transparent lock screen with a very small unlock toggle ...

Lock it , hand it to them ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] capcanuck:
Screenshot would do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jpnelson40:
This sounds just right, but is there such a lock screen available?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jpnelson40:
I have that program, and it works well, but after taking the shot one needs to recall the complex name and directory, and once found the viewing program has all the buttons active. I have a shortcut to Astro opening in the directory, but even with a half dozen thumbnails, it isn't clear sometimes which one I want to show. I don't see any option to freeze the view.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
I don't have the link, but search around , there are some threads on transparent lockscreens ...

Not sure but you may be able to do it with just a transparent .png and setting that as your lockscreen background, but that is just a guess ....

Hi all.....

I have one proble and cant solve it, Please any idea how to remove this blogger pic. I tried to delete but no option delete:confused:, Anyone has any idea where these pic. would be in the phone???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rayiskon:
this really isn't the right section for this, u guys gotta stop posting such stuff in dev section. nways, y don't u try mounting the card on pc and do a search with "blogger" as a keyword, just sayin..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fedexist:
If you try disconnetting from internet, you'll notice that those images can't be showed properly. That means that they aren't on the sdcard, but they can be found in your picasa album, in this case, named Blogger. Just log into your web picasa album and delete them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mbba67:
Thanks a million you just saved me with your reply:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pyronia:
This is very simple to do but not anybody knows how...

Removing memory will somehow load it back if u reboot (i think)

The right method is go to setting>application>manage applications>gallery...then simply tap on clear data, it will only come back if u sync picasa on setting>account & sync>your google acc...there's picasa sync option ib there...and it will sync again when u install new rom...

Hi,i have virtually no sound when i record video,i have tried different roms also flashed back to stock with no success.Sound can only be heard from the recorded video only when i put the phone to my ear.I was beginning to think that the mic is faulty but when i record using the voice recorder app the playback is much better to the point where i can hear it holding the phone at arms length.:confused:

Im a bit lost in all the links of roms and custom made stuff in the development forum.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nimbold:
if you use a Official ROM (Called FW in common) you can extract a file named Kernel.sin from it and flash it via fastboot so that you have Official ROM and Kernel.

The latest Mini Pro FW is 4.0.2.A.0.58 in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341460

for flashing stock kernel after extracting it from FW put it in fastboot folder then run this command for the fastboot folder:

after flashing Kernel, flash FW and all will be like first day!

Where can I find a completely stock EL26 ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Not sure how XDA is about posting links to other sites but there is a tar in the description to this video on how to install the stock EL26.

Actually being new I cant post it at all title is "How to Install Stock EL26 Android 2.3.6 on your Samsung Epic 4G Touch: done by QBKing who is here as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you are really sure you want it the leaked stock EL26 is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1415176

It will disable/restrict the USB jig functionality and isn't directly rootable.

If you want something as close to possible to EL26 with just root added, the EL26 ODIN One-Click in my signature will get you there.

You could also get completely stock by using the EL26 One-Click in my signature, then unrooting using Auto Root, or by flashing the EL26 ROM-only (in the 2nd post of that thread)

These options won't disable/restrict the USB jig functionality.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Is this this becoming the norm for Samsung or is it just on the 2 leaked firmwares so far? Or maybe we dont know yet? I was just thinking how the ability to have something like the jig would influence my future purchases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It is not that the USB jig is completely disabled. It still "works". It just doesn't reset the counter anymore. I'm sure it is the norm from now own as they made the same change in the Intl version.

Just flash one of the ODIN One-Click's in my signature and the issue is resolved.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-Shayde:
I have just bought the PLAY (R800i, 2.3.4) from O2 in the UK after having a Sony Ericsson W995 for over 2 years. I've recently discovered this site and the possibilities for customisation seem endless!

I'm a blank slate when it comes to doing this sort of thing, especially when it comes to mobile devices (I never did get the courage to put Custom Firmware on my PSP.) But I have a shortlist of what I'd like to be able to do to my new phone :) :

-Increase Battery life

-Decrease booting up time from power off

-Get rid of some bloatware and free up phone memory

-Get 2 or 3 emulators with a fair few games on there

-GB: Pokemon

-PS1: Crash Bandicoots, Spyros, Final Fantasys

-N64: Mario Kart, Super Mario

-Be able to hold and use most of this stuff on my 32GB SD card

It may not seem like an awful lot, as I don't really want to risk bricking a rather expensive and mint condition phone. I know this can all be achieved, what I don't know is how, or more specifically: in which order.

So if there's anyone out there kind enough to help a noob I'd be very grateful to hear your advice :) Also if you think there's anything important or what you consider a must-have, I'm open to suggestions!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razerblader:
Hi!

I can give it a try and try to get you some easy tip how to go further with what you wanna do, here is some advices on apps:

-Increase Battery life

To do this, first root your device (Try search in the Xperia Play Development thread on how to get root.)

After you have rooted it, then you can use those apps for example:

No-frills CPU Control (changes the frequency of the cellphone, to the one you prefer, set it at a real low value to get longer batterylife, increase frequency manually when you wanna play for less lag ;))

And another app is:

Autokiller (Requires root as well, and you can find other apps who can help with improving batterylife as well.)

-Get rid of some bloatware and free up phone memory

Root your phone and get an app called "Root explorer", and then someone else can tell you the exact search-way to the path where you can delete the bloatware, and which bloatware are safe to remove and which you must have saved and such since I don't remember the path and the things around it.

And you can read more about what Root is in the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076720

And you can search for Xperia Play-compatible Emulators here on XDA in some Xperia Play-section as well cause it's not hard to find :)

Sorry for not being to too much help, but I hope I gave you some help on the way :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-Shayde:
Hi, thanks for the reply :)

Aha I see, so Rooting is a necessity to be able to do anything? That's number 1 then :D

Then after that I'll check out the apps you mentioned and have a look for those emulators. One thing I noticed was that apparently it doesn't let you store much on the SD card itself, and the phone memory gets taken up quite quickly. I'm mainly thinking about the games that I've heard store a large chunk of their data on the phone and can't immediately be moved to the SD manually?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fokezy:
Root is the first thing you want. You can move every app when you have root with titanium backup. Your phone is all shiny and new, but in 2 months you wanna tweak it how you want. I suggest you get clockworkmod so you can make full backups in case something goes wrong. After that install the supercharger script and by the time you get bored, ICS is coming out.

I bought 4 of these Tablets for my kiddoes for Christmas, and i must say these are really good..... the interface is laggy but if you replace the Launcher it helps... i have rooted it with SuperOneClick and it is sticking! now need to put CWM recovery and some custom roms and this thing will rock! i will post the recovery image here in a few..... warning it is in Chinese so good luck because i havnt tried it yet!...:D

here is the recovery files.. it works because i just tried it...

i offer no tech support and i am not responsible it you brick your Tablet, your wife or girlfriend leaves you or the world ends.... but i will help as much as i can... :D

http://www.multiupload.com/HX9LST2J7A

Nice!! with the help of messinatyler we can now have ICS before it is released.using the MOMO9 ICS firmware and a work around for the capacitive buttons not working this is really rocking.. since most of the new releases of ICS from China are rooted at the factory just install the super user app from market and all is good.... Much simpler that using any rooting tools....

here is his link to the instructions, Mods if i am in the wrong just tell me and i will remove the link.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] web_ninja:
it actually is real good... the interface and drawer is laggy but i installed ICS launcher and it is a little faster... games run smooth and netflix runs with no hiccups... as soon as i figure out the bloat that needs removed it should run smoother... it isn't built like the M009S resistive tablets, this feels alot better in the hands.. my kiddoes love it and i am amazed at the performance and feel..:D

and for 100 bucks i cannot complain one bit... but it took me about a month to get them, i ordered 4 of them...... i do not like the customer service... but oh well...

i hope ICS comes this month, that would be sweet... i will upload the stock firmware and install files translated... not that great on the instructions but i am not going to flash for the hell of it... i will wait for one of the kiddoes to mess it up... hell i even thought of buying 10 of them, rooting and selling them locally for a sweet profit... lol

you think dropbox will be good enough for you guys?

Lost Root

I tried to run this firmware and the one from the products website and neither one of the firmware loading programs "both are the same" will load the usb drivers in order to link and load the firmware. Also in the instructions it says to press the reset button in the pin hole in the bottom of the tablet to prompt the computer to ask for the usb drivers, which does nothing in my case so I removed the back cover to find a different reset button that works that is directly on the board, but the drivers will not install. Any help would be much appreciated. The reason for wanting to reload the firmware is because I did a factory reset and lost root, so if someone can tell me how to gain root access back and or run the factory firmware I would greatly appreciate it. By the way I had to run this software in compatibility mode for windows 95 for it to run on my XP machine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] web_ninja:
i am running it on win 7 64bit... the key and the image have to be in the same directory as the program.. push in reset and then plug in the usb cable (the one shipped with the tablet) then you can remove the reset thing.... then it starts loading the rom.... the usb cable i was using wouldnt work... until i just randomly used the one provided... then everything worked,,, who knows...

and root. i used super oneclick and make sure the screen doesnt go to sleep... or it will hang... that worked for me...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] messinatyler:
For some reason I can't get the drivers for this tablet on the recovery file to install. Is there any way you can send me the ones that you use? In device manager I have two drivers that need to be updated when I plug my device in. First one is "android" the second one is "VID_1f3a_PID_efe8". Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I can't run this recovery firmware nor can I use super one click as adb shell does not recognize my device because of not having the correct drivers for it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] web_ninja:
ok when i get home i will look for the drivers... i am bound to have them on my windows box....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] messinatyler:
That would be awesome and much appreciated. I want to get this thing up and running on adb so I can push a custom recovery and maybe even cyanogen mod as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] web_ninja:
where did you get CM? and does it work?

i cant find the drivers? unless it is the HTC sync software that installed the base drivers... that is the only thing i can think of, unless i actually used the drivers that came with it. which can be a distinct possibility....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] messinatyler:
I found out how to do it from another site that told me how to root it. It still won't connect to the computer like it's suppose, it only shows up as drives and won't pick up in adb shell. I found cm in another forum I was looking at, the only thing that i'm worried about is there is several things not working with this rom, so I think I'll wait till someone gets a clean running version before I run it. Next thing I would like to do is install a custom recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] web_ninja:
if i knew how to extract and inject parts to the image file i could come up with a custom rom... i will have to study it...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spamnco:
Hi, I have 2 questions about this device I am about to order.

First one is about the battery life. Some sites indicate 3000, 3500 and 4000 mA with 5 hours working time. As I intend to use this tablet on plane I really expect at least 6 hours of video playback. Would you be kind enough to run a test on this point?

The novo7 advanced with a very similar hardware lasts 8 hours.

The second question is about its screen. It is given as an IPS technology which should have nice viewing angles (much better than the TFT). Can you confirm that the screen is really good?

Thank so much for your feedback.
