[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Clevo89:
Hi,

After successfully updating to the official Gingerbread for the U8800 I removed some bundled apps including the News & weather app.

I actually liked this app and other News aggrigators just aren't the same. I thought I had backed up properly but it looks like I didn't.

If someone can kindly either share their app or show me where I can download it from I would appreciate it.

I've tried looking for it on the Market even trying a few they had on offer (Pulse & News-Australia). Pulse sucks up too much power and the others I have tried just aren't as good.

Thanks

yes u read it right, the face unlock feature in xxjvu(2.3.6) is not from android 4.0.3 ice cream sandwich. its made by samsung themselves or samsung got that made from some other company.

the face unlock in ice cream sandwich is made by an australian company named pittpatt and that face recognition system basically is better when phones have better quality front facing camera as it recognises eyes, nose, mouth(lips), spects if u wear them, skin colour tone, face size, beard, moustasch.

while as far as i have noticed this facial recognition is not the one from ics as it basically takes pic of u and mainly recognises position of eyes and other features of face. this is better for low end front facing cameras and is basically not an asset for phones having great front facing cameras like samsung galaxy s 2.

so what is samsung upto here, creating there own facial recognition and using it in sgs3 instead of ics face unlock?? samsung is going really mysterious these days.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dan_Aykroyd:
Thanks for the info!

The question is why they didn't released it before than ICS then! :D

Maybe in the Eclair days... :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Faryaab:
The galaxy s2 already had this feature in it but it was disabled in the code and before ICS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
I dont have a sgs2 so I dont know about this, new information. I am really wondering what is samsung upto , challenging GOOGLE??? Well they should know that they are good for producing os like bada only.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
I tried the jvu face unlock and it worked pretty well and fast. but when i swivelled my chair in my room such that half my face was slightly dark (due to limited light, mainly from window), it could not recognise it. So I can't see it as being very practical (light isn't always perfect and from above/in front).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
Ics face unlock has a feature for improving facial recognition after u once record ur face. It mainly asks u to re do procedure in different lighting conditions, with or without spects , with or without beard or moustasch. Thats better for high end front facing cameras. But This aint so bad as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Siberian Tiger:
Maybe is not that bad but i have a feeling that unlock the phone to everyone :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
This is obviously way faster than ics face unlock on my sgs . and I guess it will be faster on a sgs2. But ics one is more precise.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
Doing this is harder and needs more work then releasing an aosp. Samsung won me again. With jvu everything is amazing. I can.play the mysterious dungeon defenders greatly here. Battery is great. Wifi always on. Sync too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
Yes that looks instant and better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
Can this be ported to other samsung devices. I found the correct lib and correct app. But what about recognition system files??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJustin:
Face unlock sometimes works, sometimes doesn't work. Overall, pretty gimmicky but it'll be fun for a few days :D

Are you on stock ROM and kernel odexed? or deodexed?

NT rooted, "version 9.9.9",Go Launcher

I have installed Overdrive 2.3.0.2 so that I can read library books. There is supposed to be settings foe font size, color and so on. When in the book and menu is pushed there is a settings area but nothing for these preferences. When doing long hold on the book while it is on the shelf I get a pop up but again these preferences are not listed. Please someone be kind and tell me how to find these. It tires my eyes to read black fonts on white background. Thanks for the help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] joesc1:
You need to go into the book and change the settings there. If you haven't downloaded button savior, you should do it now so you can access the Reader Settings option from within the book.

Overdrive thinks your reading on a phone with the dedicated menu buttons, and since our books don't have that, you need to use the virtual buttons provided by button savior.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GreenFuzzer:
Thank you so much!!! I do have Button Savior installed but hadn't really 'used' it. I will be using it a lot more since understanding this useful piece of information you kindly gave me. My books will be much more pleasurable to read now. Thanks again!

Overdrive--pdf?

I too have overdrive installed, and I noticed if I choose a pdf book; I can not download the books directly to my nook. I have to use the computer and throw the file into drop box and pick it up there. Am I doing something wrong?

E pub books go directly to the nook for me though.

I also installed Alkido (ms?), and I authorized there, but don't know how to get the library books there.

I am unrooted. I need 2 more apks to root (in my mind safely); superuser and busy box. Yes, I know they are both on the Market, but I do not have a credit card yet. This is my first post. Any advice given will be appreciated. This is also my first android device. Thank you.

[Kindle Fire General] ronlsjr:
I just got my Amazon Kindle Fire 2 days ago and i love it. I want to know if ther is a full 100% original factory stock rom to restore and the step by step instructions to reinstall it? I wanted to root and try to install some roms but i need the full stock and recovery to install the roms. I never rooted the kindle before and i never used roms and i dont know what the full stock file is called or anything so i need info and help. I have successfully rooted my android phones and the samsung galaxy tab 7 plus. And i can change roms on them roms too but i have 0% experience on the amazon kindle. My mom got me this for me its a late christmas present and it will crush my heart if i screw it up with no way back to full stock. So i have to be extra carefull. Does anybody know if amazon is going to release android 4 ics for the kindle fire because that is what i want is the ics update and the only way i can see the ability to get it is istalling one of the roms from this site?

I have a sim card I used with the original galaxy tab 7.0 and internet worked fine but now that I have the galaxy plus I get the message "To connect to the Internet with the device you are using, you'll need a webConnect data plan." Is there a way around this? It has to be something software related that is detecting this since with Gingerbread or Froyo on original galaxy tab did not have this issue. Maybe an app from T-Mobile that is blocking this? For ex. on the SGSII phone, just had to freeze the "wifi tether manager" to get free tethering again. Any help would be appreciated guys and gals :)

I have Xron-ified vB2.9.1 rom installed on my touchpad, when it goes from Moboot to Cyanogenmod there is a quick error message that says the splash screen is too large for the display area, then it goes on to boot normally with the Cyanogenmod loading screen, followed by the colored flipping tiles screen and on to the home screen. This error seems to have no effect on the boot or the performance, but I just wanted to throw it out there. I've had this error on vB2.8 and vB2.9 versions of the rom.

Otherwise, I have no major issues and no complaints. I have been fortunate with these flashes and have somehow avoided all of the major issues I have been reading about.

[TouchPad General] isanrap:
Have you updated your moboot to the latest version. For link see above in my previous post.
[TouchPad General] theroar:
I have been looking for "how" to update moboot.

First... for those who have not been back to Acme Installer since your initial install... you will need it again. Every post I saw just said update moboot... I had CWM on the brain.... I have many pc's, so had to figure out which one had the Palm sdk installed on it... it also had the acmeinstall tool. You will need both of those.

Second. I went to the above site with my touch pad. Downloaded the file. then used my file manager to move the moboot_0.3.5.zip file to my old cminstall folder.

Third step. On my XP computer I opened a CMD prompt as admin and changed to the directory where the palm sdk was installed. I could see the acme installer in there.

Fourth - Shut off touch pad, plugged the USB cable into the pc

Step 5 - Fired up the touchpad and chose Webos recovery mode from the list. Did not have to hold the volume anymore which was pretty cool.

Last but not least - Rejoice as moboot gets rewritten, sys reboots, and I have a cool Xron logo where the old image does not fit error used to be. =)

If there is a better way than this please share. Worked for me, but who knows...
[TouchPad General] theroar:
Forgot to add this line.

novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller

that is what you type at the dos prompt
[TouchPad General] theroar:
Just a heads up... Had to re-use this trick a 2nd time today. Decided to update to 3.0.5 of web os. It eliminated moboot.

It was not too tough to fix though. I added a few dual pane file manager in web os. Downloaded moboot again and put it in the cminstall folder.

shut down,

rebooted holding the power and volume up.

the rest was the same as above.

Cannot remember the file manager... Sorry. It was free though. Had what reminded me of a major's rank in the center of it...
[TouchPad General] theroar:
I tracked down the file manager I used. It is Tegi's Commander. Took me a second to figure out how to move the file... I tried to just drag it, but it was a long press gig.
[TouchPad General] Capt.Insano:
Had you updated moboot before updating WebOS? As of the moboot update 0.3.4 that shouldn't happen, WebOS updates should not remove moboot (Source: JCSullins). I updated my WebOS to 3.0.5 and moboot remained untouched!!

Also as prev stated 0.3.5 will remove splash-screen size error!!

Hey....

2 part question here

1. I have a unlocked samsung galaxy s2... right now im using the kp8 modem and i was wondering for rogers what is the best modem for battery life and speed.

2. Which kernel in your experience has gotten you the most batery life.

Thanks for all responses.

Scott
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I'll leave Q1 to be answered by someone using the same carrier as you. As to Q2, there's no point in me telling you which kernel has given me the best battery life in my experience (there's a hint in there).

Why ? Because we don't use the phone the same way, we don't have our phones setup the same way and our phones were not created exactly the same way at the factory. In other words, what works for me is probably not going to work the same for you.

Soooo...The suggestion is to read the particular threads relating to the various kernels (read the first few pages & say the last 10 to give you an overview/idea of how the most recent build goes), then flash a kernel & try it out for a few days. Let's face it, flashing a kernel takes all of two minutes, and as long as you make a nandroid backup before you do, you can go back to your previous setup in a few minutes.

At first I thought it was just me, but I had a chat with another XDA member, who sent me a screenshot of the android market saying his tablet S was compatible with ADW. On mine, its clearly greyed out. So I'm thinking there's something wrong with my tablet or google account?

sh-t that confirms it. Theres something wrong with my market account.

I've written to several app devs and they all say their app is marked compatible.

The two 'test' cases I'm using is cut the rope and ADW EX. Both are greyed out in web market, and just do not appear in tablet market.

I've tried clearing the cache and force stopping, no dice.

Anybody seen this before?

I just looked at market to see if I could find "cut the rope" and it shows up, and is compatible with my sony tablet s. It shows on my tablet market as well.

I asked Sony support (Russia) about this problem.

They said that I could:

1. Clear market cache. It doesn't work.

2. Clear data. It doesn't work.

3. Delete update for market. It doesn't work.

4. update information about tablet from web android market. Here I have question :how could I do this?
[Sony Tablet S] wintermute000:
I suspect its something to do with regions and region locking for certain apps, tablets and user accounts.

e.g. I am accessing market from Hong Kong location, but I'm normally based in Australia, and my google account/credit card etc. is all Aussie. I'll wait to see what happens when I get back to australia.

If there are region restrictions based on app, user account etc. IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR. google support fail (again....) its enough to make you consider a fricking fruit machine some times
