[HTC Sensation] Crasherke:
hey everyone,

I have a problem with my speaker and dock mode. When I go in dock mode my phone automatically turns on the internal speaker. But when I turn off the dock mode than my phone keeps the external speaker on until I make my first phone call and then he turns back to internal mode. Is there a possibility that I can turn the auto speaker mode off and if so where and how? Are there alternatives to the htc dock mode and wich one do you recommend?

Greetings Crasher

Htc Sensation

Energy Rom installed

No extra software installed
[HTC Sensation] Crasherke:
No one that can help me out here. So many users but no answer!

I hope someone answer my question beceause my problem starts to anoy me very much.

Google Voice always has issues when trying to decompile etc.. just use one from another ROM or something. What do you want to do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twolves14:
Well I tried decompiling and recompiling a random apk and got the same error. I'm trying to make a way to get to the inbox if you're in a conversation thread. For example, sometimes I have to press the Back key like 30 times to get all the way back to the inbox. I was going to make the "Archive" button take you to the inbox (because I never use Archive).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twolves14:
I will try to compile on a different computer and update what happens.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twolves14:
edit: Fixed it!

Just deleted everything in the /apktool/frameworks folder and it worked.

Sorry i dont understand. I have the same error, but where is "apktool/framework"??

I have this..

How can i decompile it?

Amazon Kindle Fire "Silk" Browser

Ok this IS NOT my work. Just sharing it to the EVO 3D community in-case some might not know about it. TyHi ported this browser to work on a different OS. And its SUPER fast and flash rendering is fast also.

Install Tutorial:

1. Download the attached zip View attachment 846993

2. Use Root Explorer to copy the lib files to /system/lib set permissions the same as the others.

3. Install all of the .apks like you would side load.

4. Copy the com.amazon.cloud9-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app

5. Reboot and enjoy

Miui support??
[HTC EVO 3D] Moricon:
Thank you. Have gotten this all loaded up and running.
[HTC EVO 3D] fwhite42:
Pretty cool. Does seem to be pretty fast, and Flash elements load very quickly. Desktop view seems better than stock browser.

Tabs seem to take up too much screen space, otherwise very nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] Moricon:
Yea have to assume that is because it is designed for a 7 inch screen. Still much better.
[HTC EVO 3D] itsthafame:
Yeah i like it alot on wifi its crazy fast, im using it as my default browser now
[HTC EVO 3D] itsthafame:
I'm not sure check the compatability list on the second post before you try it

soon as the rom stayed for like 3 days onwards.. i'm having this kind of graphics, it makes the dark part like very low quality. but when i tend to screenshot it, it's okay in the computer. it's kinda greeny for video(dark/black part example when they're on dark places) for images/live wallpaper: it's low quality black. that's what i see in my screen, it's somehow like this:

example picture of the problem that i want to be fixed:(not to be exactly like this, this is just an example)

it's background should be black. i edited that picture using Photoshop. here is the link of the original photo: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yeRcLVjGt...DFvOD7l8Q/s1600/The-Vampire-Diaries-Logo.jpeg

need to fix that thing.. when i change rom, it's good. the quality is really okay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
Actually, that's not low quality rendering. It's a problem with voodoo colour. To fix it, either use a kernel without voodoo colour or go here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002090

i see, i tend to set up my voodoo color's gamma with all 7.

[Xperia Arc General] ComfyTopHat:
Hey,

Just wondering if its still possible after rooting and installing a custom ROM if you can still receive official updates from SE. And if so how?

Xperia ARC - Cyangenmod 7
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Yes, you've to relock your bootloader and can update your device via PCC/SEUS/OTA. ;)

And pls post in the correct section.
[Xperia Arc General] BeNeQ:
If you update via OTA after relocking bootloader you will brick your phone! Use PCC.
[Xperia Arc General] ComfyTopHat:
Sorry dp94 thought this was the right place to put it also BeNeQ is there a tut. you could point me to? Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
I've never tried it, but a lot of user in the thread reported, that they were able to update via OTA after relocking.

No, there's a specific Q&A (Questions & Answers) subforum. ;)

There you go to relock thread.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
I'm wondering if there is an app that lets me quickly switch between stock kernel and custom kernel?

Or at least something easier than just reflashing kernels with CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
The only option you have is a nandroid backup of each. Then restore whoch ever one you want to run
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Ahh, but then I'd lose whatever settings I've made in apps, or other items between backups.

I thought I read somewhere though, that a nandroid backup does not back up the kernel, only the ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
It does. It depends on which version of cwm u have. And the one we use does
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Simba501:
Mobile Odin works well. I don't see the Skyrocket explicitly supported, but maybe it's on the way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Its not.

Better than those zagg type skins.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Brutal-Force:
I like the look, but I am more interested in the texture.

While the Aluminum back makes for a sexy device, it is attrocious for holding. I would like the rubberized feel of either the silicone skin or the hard cover. Then I could ditch the extra mass from the hard cover.

How is the texture on this? Does it feel like plastic, rubber or paper?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bradart:
Yeah. Simulated wood grain. Think interior artificial wood paneling.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Brutal-Force:
Does it feel cold like the aluminum? I just can't seem to carry the flyer naked, it feels very weird in my hands and I guess I am paranoid about scratching up the aluminum.

I had already looked at the DecaGirl skins... But as mine is also in a folio case, I decided not to get one. But it does look awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChaoticPurity:
Hello all! I was just wondering if anyone is having a very particular issue with their WiFi on the GNex... more specifically with any phone running ICS. I seem to be unable to connect to any WiFi network that has non-standard characters in it- punctuation marks or letters with accents. My old phone (Samsung Captivate) connected just fine to my home network, which has an é and a ! in the name. Before I got my GNex, I was running an ICS rom on my Captivate, and realized I couldn't connect to my home network anymore. I figured it was a glitch with the rom as others were reporting WiFi issues.

Then, I went to work and connected to the WiFi just fine, then to a relative's house, then to a few other friends- they all connected just fine. I'm having the same issue with my GNex. Connects fine to most networks, just not the ones that have strange characters. I can input my WiFi password, but it just sits there at "saved" and the signal drops from "excellent" to "poor." Given that this same bug happened with my Captivate, I am assuming this is a software bug.

Just looking for others with this problem (and maybe a fix)!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeimgeorge:
Could be if the drivers for other non official ICS phones. But with the gnrx its a known issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChaoticPurity:
Hmm. So is it hardware or software? Any hope of it being repaired, or do I have to change the WiFi name of my home network?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeimgeorge:
nothing with ur router bro. This is either a hw or sw issue. And I'm desperately praying for it to be software

P.s on my 3rd gnex and has the same issue as the other two :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChaoticPurity:
What a strange bug. I wonder how something like that even happens. Has anyone reported this bug to Google/Verizon? Does the GSM version have the same bug?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 1dayatatime:
For those new to the world of rooting or just not sure what to do next, please add to this thread what you think are "must haves" or "must do" after rooting the nook tablet. I am sure there are awesome apps and tricks etc out there and nobody knows everything so please post what you feel is something one shouldbdo or get or install after rooting.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] npw1138:
I think the Button Savior app is a nice one to have. It lets you set up transparent "buttons" on the side of your screen enabling you to go back, or to your chose home screen, without hitting the "n" home button. Having this app enables you to use said "n" home button to take you only back to the original, stock Nook home screen.

Just my two cents....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 1dayatatime:
Thanks. I agree that is a good one. Another is AnyCut. Anycut let's you place shortcuts to virtually anywhere including settings menus that are normally hidden or hard to find otherwise.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Titanium Backup and AdAway are a couple of my favorite root applications.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flippage:
AdFree, TitaniumBackup, Root Explorer, ButtonSavior, Terminal Emulator.... Those a just a couple that I would consider necessities.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GreenFuzzer:
Great idea for a thread. This was my first time rooting. I agree with all of the above and there are a couple I want to check out as I hadn't heard of them. Other than that I would say MyBookDroid as it lets you not only keep track of what books you own, but have read, want to read, want to buy, or are in the middle of reading etc. I have gotten OverDrive for the first time for reading library books and am enjoying that. I would like to locate an 'office suite' for some of my take a long projects. Other wise I think that is all I'm aware of so far but will be watching this thread for more suggestions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ianc125:
Use bettercut instead of any cut it will give you access to more options and shortcuts that even anycut cant get you
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 1dayatatime:
+1 for bettercut! There are things in there I've never seen so if you recommend using it for anything specific, let me know.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
Screen Filter. Great app, I love it. It will allow you to lower the screen brightness below the default-allowable levels.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Most have been mentioned.

Right after you Root:

Definitely: Root Explorer and ES File Explorer. I use one or the other just about every day. Button Savior is a must.

Screenshot (app from kastor soft). Helps greatly when seeking help with OS/app issues to include a screencap if possible.

Use Anycut (or Bettercut) to make yourself a bunch of oft-needed shortcuts, like 'Home' (for the stock launcher), Appmenu, Debug Mode, Accessibility, etc. Put the shortcuts in a folder in GoLauncher for less clutter and convenient access.

If you think that you later may do some more in depth mucking around, Get SQLite Editor.

Cloud yourself up: Get Dropbox, Sugarsync, Box.net. and 4Shared. Together it's something like 20GB of cloud storage you can share directly with your NT. Very convenient to send yourself .apk, document, and media files via the cloud vs. USB.

Once you're feeling fairly confident:

1. Replace your stock keyboard with an alternative like Swiftkey Tablet X, hacker keyboard or whatever else is compatible. Read this thread, follow all the tutorial steps. This is a very forgiving hack, and you likely can't boot-loop your device even if something goes 'wrong'. Still, know what you're doing.

2. If you're using GoLauncher and having problems with widgets not loading after a reboot, follow the instructions in this thread to fix it. As above, read up and know what you're doing first.

3. Unless a more current Root method includes these: replace some system apps with stock Gingerbread versions. IE: email, keyboard, gallery 3D. Read through and understand the methods/files needed in this thread first.

Once you *really* know WTF you're doing:

Edit your build.prop file to spoof another device to add extra things to the Market. Build.prop can be safely changed in place (many other system files can't and can boot-loop your NT if you mess with them).

I've taken to keeping several build.prop files on hand- the stock, one to emulate a Nexus S, and one to emulate a Droid 3. I rename/switch them out and reset the Market, depending on what I'm trying to install directly from the Market. (For example, many Gameloft games show up when spoofing the Nexus S.)

Read up and know what you're doing before attempting. It's not a hard 'hack' but understand that applied incorrectly this could boot-loop your NT. When editing your build.prop file, ever point, every space, every character counts, so tripple-check your mods before committing and rebooting your NT. Backup and keep .bak copies of your working 'spoofs' and switch them if/when needed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
Unnecessary; you can take screenshots by hitting N + Volume Down.

Edit: Sorry if that sounded dickish, it's kind of late and I was distracted by The League.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
As I use my NT mainly for entertainment while at work, the FIRST thing I researched how to edit my build.prop to spoof a Nexus S. Opened up a whole WORLD of compatible games!

Also, I got Mx Player, as an alternative to the stock video player. Mx is compatible with all of your major video codecs, and for the most part they play flawlessly. Occasionally, I find a vid that doesn't work with it, but that is largely due to the way the video was compressed.

Next thing I'm researching---Vuze ;-)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] deralaand:
I recommend Opera Mobile for internet. It has great copy and paste function.

Swype keyboard is a must for me.

Taptu is an awesome way to consume information on your favorite topics.

Smart Rotate allows you to choose which apps rotate and which ones don't.

Quick Pic for a super fast gallery replacement that doesn't mess up wallpaper settings. (select the floppy icon to set the wallpaper)

any.do for an awesome to do app that is a joy to use.

Tapatalk of course.

Also, long press on the home button in button savior to access six previous apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
I completely forgot about that! Not dickish at all, thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Awesome! Never knew this! Very informative thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:
Thanks, great eye! I will be using this quite a bit.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
The ones I couldn't do without are:

1) Go Launcher EX

2) Homecatcher - now the nook button takes me to my GoLauncher home screen and bypasses the stock nook screen altogether. It also eliminated my need for button savior. Not bashing the app, just didn't need it anymore since I wasn't using it for anything except getting back to my GL home screen anyway. I use the right to left swipe or even one press of the nook button in most every program to go back if I need to.

3) MX Video Player - like people are saying, plays anything and does it better than stock video player

4) ComicRack - suggested by people here on the boards, and again, better than the stock program for reading comics (more file types supported, better resolution, better functionality)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] deralaand:
If you have access to a rooted phone and the app 'root explorer', you can capture many apps that would be 'incompatible' on the market.

This is how I originally got the Facebook and Twitter app working.

If you attempt this, you must be very careful using root explorer. It could allow you destroy your device.

Here are the steps I used.

1. Make sure the app you want, is loaded on the rooted Android device. (other than Nook)

2. Use root explorer on that Android device.

3. Navigate to data/app and search for the apk of the app that you want.

4. Long press on that apk and choose send.

5. I have dropbox installed, so I send apps to that so I can easily retrieve them whenever I want. You should be able to use gmail to mail them to your self on the Nook.

6. On the Nook, download the apk using whatever method you chose.

7. Install the file. Make sure to choose 'Package Installer'.

8 Enjoy!

Groove Ip

Im trying to get mine to make free VOIP calls. I have tried several different programs. With Groove Ip from Google Ive gotten it where I can hear the call over my nt but cannot seem to get the app to recognize the mic.

Any ideas how I can do this?:)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kirk_the_jerk:
Does the "recent apps" button (the four squares icon) work for anyone? If so, how did you configure to get it going? For me it does nothing.

Note, I have granted BS superuser permissions, so it's not that.

Edit: now I find "Also, long press on the home button in button savior to access six previous apps." Excellent; solves the problem, but what is the 4-squares icon if not that?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CW927:
Since I also have a rooted android phone, I was able to use Titanium backup to restore apps like Angry Birds and retain all my progress.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Igthorn:
zMooth is an nice alternative to Button Savior. I tried Button Savior and didn't like it. It was hard to see on some backgrounds and you have to tap once to bring it out then tap again or you leave it up blocking part of the screen. zMooth is gesture based and has a strip along the bottom of the screen. Swipe L>R for Menu, R>L for Back, and D>U>D (making a ^) for Home.

Though it has less features than Button Savior, it's great if all you need is Home, Menu, and Back.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SkipKelley:
Indirects CWM

Now that we have it, it is one of the must have app to get. First thing to do is make a backup fo if you do manage to screw something up, you have a nice clean backup to restore to. Since I have killed my SystemUI.apk onve, it makes recovery so much easier.

:D

SK
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
The 4 squares is just the Android menu button. You can change the Button Savior theme if you want lines, which is more common. Just open the BS` app, and choose another theme. I find I prefer the Pen's Sense UI theme.

(I'm using the pro version, but as I recall there were themes in the standard version also.)

By the way, for me, long pressing the menu button brings up the onscreen keyboard.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Nice that you found an alternative. For the record though, in Button Savior you can simply enable auto-hide, and choose the number of seconds delay. Different themes and transparency settings can deal with making it easier to see also.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
I'll contribute by creating a How-to to explain how you can fix things when you mess up by using ADB tools without the need of apply a backup in CWM , adb is very useful, i just think that if i mess up with my SystemUI,famework-es or any application that for example make me fall into a bootloop i rather use adb to fix it in less than 2 minutes than use CWM, also adb can be used while being in recovery (i havent tested in the nook but in my smartphones work)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Igthorn:
I didn't make myself very clear, but I meant that you have to tap it once just to open it to use whichever button you want. Not that you have to tap to close. The leaving it open part is about accessibility to the buttons, i.e. always open and buttons always accessible vs an extra tap. Basically I didn't like that extra tap or always open covering the screen :p
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
New update of button savior gives that option to hide automatically after 1 tap, update was released 2 days ago.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Igthorn:
That's not what I didn't like about it. For instant access to the buttons you have to leave it open. Otherwise you have to tap once to bring out the buttons. I didn't want to tap to open then hit the button (2 steps), I just want to hit the button I wanted in 1 step like you would when you hit a physical button.
