[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdwagner:
Your all good lasersc ;)

Happy to contribute qkster, I'm not quite advanced enough to troubleshoot most problems, so I like to jump on the easier ones when they go otherwise unnoticed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qkster:
You gave good advice, brett.

On the flashback update thread, there is a recovery package.

Included in the package is easy step by step instructions that spells out everything that you need to follow to nvflash and flashing.

I refer to that frequently.

I hope laser was able to go thru that package.

.39 kernel is almost done. HC 3.2 or ICS is just around the corner.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lasersc:
You rock Brett, Thank you so much. I did as you suggested this morning and everything went well. If you only knew, how long I have been fighting this deal, but with your couple of post...Everything is Well

Thank you again!!!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttaannkk:
Hey all!

Just rooted my mytouch4g with cynogen 7. After setting up my phone I went to take a picture and it would load the camera software but the screen would be black. The camera options such as flash/menu were present but would not do anything if clicked on. I could see the preview of my latest picture I have on my sd card but when clicked on it would not do anything. If i click "back

" right away after launching the camera it will take me to the home screen. If i leave the camera app open for 5 seconds or more it will freeze and require a removal of the battery and restart.

I also noticed I cannot play any videos on my phone. I tried viewing some youtube videos and it would stay black and show the menu button but no video would play.

I have tried both of the following links and nothing worked:

apparently i cannot post links but i found a fix for other roms that people were having a problem as me and they did not work

I am running the latest cynogen mod and have tried to fix permissions.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayb222:
Download a different rom (based on Cm7 if you want), clean wipe, flash and see of the problem is still there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick_hunter:
Could be a bad flash. As suggested, reboot into recovery, do a full wipe, wipe cache, and dalvik. Then reflash and see if it works.

Also, verify the MD5 to make sure that your download wasn't corrupted.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttaannkk:
How do i "dalvik". Quick google search leads me to a vm for android apps? Is that what you were referring to?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
You didn't fully wipe. Go back to recovery, wipe all user data and cache, wipe /system and wipe dalvik cache (not exactly necessary but you should do it every now and then).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttaannkk:
I did a full wipe, cleared data, cache, system and dalvik and the camera and netflix, youtube is now working on cynogen mod 7.

When i installed the overclock kernel "AnyKernel_eMMC.Gorilla-Kernel-betaV1.0.zip" the camera/netflix, youtube stopped working. So the problem lies with the kernel.

What overclock kernel do you recommend on CM7 for the mytouch 4g since obviously the one I followed in the guide does not work.

Thank you all for your help
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick_hunter:
That kernel is way outdated, my friend. I recommend TDJ's kernel found here. Wipe cache and dalvik, flash the kernel, then reboot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttaannkk:
Icambriz, thank you so much for your help. I used that kernel and now everything works fine. My final question is, i noticed I do not have a option to record in 720p or take high res pictures, is there anyway I can get HD video back on since that is very important to the point I might revert back to stock or a different rom that allows HD?

Also, I have 2 other mytouch 4g's and was planning on rooting them. Do you think it would be wise to do a new full video tutorial "for dummies" on how to root the mytouch?

Thx again
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
There should be an option in the camera settings you just have to switch to camcorder mode and click settings. And we do not need another video, there's plenty around already, good thought though :) make sure to check the emmc of each before rooting!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayb222:
You can take 5 mega pixel pics and record in 720p on cyanogen. Clock your camera app, don't hit menu. You'll see a circle looking icon on the right hand side. (settings icon) scroll through that and your resolution settings are in there.

For video, it's the second icon from the left. You can pick HD, which is 720p. I hope that helped. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MikeCh:
Hi guys, just found an easy way to to get the hidden setting for starting the sideload process from browser.

put any app (".apk" file) on the sdcard anyway easy for you, give it an easy short name before actaully moving it to sdcard, so you remember and not make mistake typing it later.

In the Nook Tablet open the browser type: file://localhost/sdcard/appxxxx.apk

Substitute appxxxx.apk with your apk file actual name.

This will bring hidden settings, then choose unkown source and off you go.

This is first step to to root..
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
Thanks for sharing.

Is "appxxxx.apk" the name of the app we want to side-load or the actual keystrokes we type in? Does this method work after 1.4.1 update?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Its more oriented to 1.4.1 so yes will work because unknown sources its a must in order to sideload from links and applications.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] msamberrocks:
noob here... I also need guidance about the appXXXX.apk. What do I fill in for the XXXX? Can I get an example?

Thanks in advance!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jekkyll:
How did you put the app on the SD card - via your PC? And then do I replace the four Xs with the app name, as in file://localhost/appangrybirds.apk? Can we do this with 1.4.1 unrooted?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AugustusBot:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume...

"AppXXXX" ... aka "GenericAppName" ... aka "FillInTheBlank" .

I think what he found is that by going through the web browser and into your directory structure, it somehow bypasses the preventative check that would come up and say "BN Store .apks only!".

Could be wrong... i don't have 1.4.1.

edit: from the OP's description, it seems possible, however highly unlikely, that the Settings menu in which you allow unknown sources is accessed by launching an app called "AppXXXX.apk". Again... highly unlikely, but I could see some confusion from the way he typed it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
OP is perfectly clear and this works with rooted 1.4.0. appxxxx.apk means maps.apk.

Thanks MikeCH
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] paulg344:
Will this work with non rooted 1.41 nook tablet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] laserbiz:
Is it possible to get a browser to download directly to the SD card instead of manually having to do it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
dude... just type this in the browser....

nook1.adamoutler.com

nook2.adamoutler.com

nook3.adamoutler.com

Those three addresses will give full functionality to an unrooted tablet with just sideloading. They load: Hidden Settings, homecatcher, and launcherpro.

Have fun.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] joeuser846:
No joy

Tried this on a stock NT 1.4.1.

file://localhost/appname.apk

Results in "file not found"

file://localhost/sdcard/appname.apk

Does pop the installer selection screen, but then the install is blocked by 1.4.1 just like other side-load methods. Methinks the author doesn't have a stock 1.4.1. Perhaps he has unknown sources enabled from a previous root?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MikeCh:
Apxxx.apk means any app xxx is for you to substitute for your .Apk actual name.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MikeCh:
Absolutely, just google an apk file and download it. Then go to your browser menu to the downloads and open the file. This should bring the hidden setting too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] docfreed:
I didn't see your answer to "does this work after the 1.41 update?" Can you tell us if:

1. The NT must be rooted

2. The update number , i.e., 1.40 or 1.41

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] trgilman:
I'm going under the assumption that the op has a rooted tablet, since he did not state otherwise.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MikeCh:
No, it does not give the options.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MikeCh:
This is about getting you rooted, and eventually side-load what ever.
[LG Optimus Black] spyb0y:
Well guys it`s been a pleasure to spend a lot of time in my life beside all of you, hoping that LG will support their phones better, but that time has and end and this is it. I`ve sold my OB and bought a Desire HD instead. I was tired hoping that something will eventually happen`...

Good luck in the future and very much custom stable ROMs!

Wish you all the best!
[LG Optimus Black] morx:
byebye spybot :D
[LG Optimus Black] sonic1995:
the best choice ever made​​!!! Btw I sold my LG OB too :D
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
I bought another phone (Galaxy S II) and gaved my Black to my girlfriend. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] IGoR4eG:
Desire HD has a locked bootloader, has it? ;)
[LG Optimus Black] spyb0y:
allready unlocked :D
[LG Optimus Black] s0ulreaver:
I'm due to a new phone and I need to choose between Desire hd or Optimus black.

Was thinking of the hd but I've read about the small battery, poor GPS performance, camera issues, etc. The weight is 175gr.

On the other side the OB just got Gingerbread, is smaller, has IPS screen. CM7 support for it is also great.

What made you choose the HD over OB?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] IGoR4eG:
Well done! :D

ps Are you use official ROM in ur desire HD?
[LG Optimus Black] spyb0y:
nope....i`m using SmartDroid T-3.1 2.3.5 with sense 3.5....it`s just amaizing. :D
[LG Optimus Black] spyb0y:
well, for me...this kind of phone shouldn`t last for more than a day. Desire HD delivers me a fully working day with 3g data always on with sync over weather and Gmail, and wi-fi when possible and sometimes using hands free bluetooth.

the gps it`s fast I don`t know where did you hear that is poor.

what made me choose HTC instead LG is:

1. HTC sense....is much much much more user friendly than LG UI 2.0 (wich Optimus Black comes with)

2. I don`t really trust Ti OMAP processors, Qualcomm instead gets over clocked at 1.6 ghz with no harm at all.

3. I have a Smart TV and the DLNA works much better instead LG.

4. Bigger screen, metal hard case (i really like the phone to be heavier) instead of crap plastic, truly Gorilla Glass Display, 8mgx camera with dual led flashlight wich is not bad at all I`ve managed some awsome photos with it, 768 mb RAM instead of 512 wich makes the device much more fluid (never crumbles).

5. LG stand for Lie Good, I`ve tried the Wi-Fi direct function with other phones and never managed to really send a file......crap.

6. Very poor video recording on LG 5 mgpx camera...

I hope I made some good arguments.

If I were you...I`d buy Desire HD for sure! But the choise is yours. I can only hope will make the right one :P take care dude
[LG Optimus Black] BeleQ:
ok then, just give us your money, so we can buy desire HD for sure.
[LG Optimus Black] iamLance:
How about the display?

Which do you think has the much better display? Let's just disregard the brightness because we all know the Optimus Black has the brightest. Is there a big difference of the display basing that Desire HD has 217ppi and the Optimus Black has 233ppi? Which one has the clearest display? I like clear and vivid display cause I alsways want to watch videos and streaming videos online.
[LG Optimus Black] spyb0y:
I like the display on the Desire HD better. Much more vivid colors from my point of view. you really can`t see the difference from 233 to 217 dpi.

well, i would, if i had money....I was lucky to find a guy that wanted really bad an Optimus black for his girlfrind and I simply trade my OB for his Desire HD...:P as simply as that. so no money involved :P
[LG Optimus Black] s0ulreaver:
Thanks, everyone!

After all, when the Milestone came out, the battery could barely last 10h, with CM7 I can squeeze 2-3 days a year after I got it.

I'm getting the Desire HD tomorrow :)
[LG Optimus Black] pythoner:
Well, good for you.

And thanks for letting all users in the P970 forum section know that you obviously never owned a P970 and are going to have a Desire HD!

Hey everyone. Just wanted to share a little project I finished. It is a speech API in Java that uses Google for speech to text (Same/similar android engine) and for text to speech. It works a lot better then most of the Java project for speech out there and it is easy to use.

Hi!

My question is, how to install the android os (Cyanogenmod) on sd card?

I have only 12MB left on my phone memory and it's too small. I can't install apps like Skype or others because theese are "phone only" applications. Yeah, I know I can use App2SD apps, but it's not good for me.

Any ideas?

Thanks (and sorry if I had some solecisms?!)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] anonymous572:
If you want to use any PS\2 mouse or keyboard for Galaxy Note you will need:

1) Any PS\2 mouse or keyboard

2) USB-host cable

3) Dual PS\2 to USB converter

All this things you can easily find and buy at dealextreme, eforchina, ebay or any other online store.

4) Connect all this mess together and insert to you Note.

Now you can use any PS\2 keyboard and mouse at the same time

May not work with FM Kernel!

With AbyssNote and Official Samsung kernel works normal.

Is there a way to restore categories and home screens when switching ROMs? I restored all apps except the ones in red in Titanium Backup, but that put everything in one big download folder.

[LG Optimus 3D] lrpvo:
I've googled around for a bit, can't find it.

My guess? First test out which ROM you want, then make it completely right one time.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
In theory, sure. It's along the same lines as SDHC cards that give Wi-Fi ability. The real issue is whether or not it's worth it to forgo the extra storage space of a memory card in favor of a NFC capability.

The concept of NFC is really cool, but isn't there yet in terms of practicality. I only use 1 credit card so, for me, having to use my phone to do transactions will more than likely take more time than just using my credit card. There are security benefits to NFC as thieves won't be able to steal information from the magnetic strip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I actually am worried this would make things less secure than currently using your credit card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lse4:
Here is what I found on there site

Will I lose data on my original microSD?

No. The great thing about moneto is the fact that the microSD doubles as a storage source on non-iPhone smartphones. If you have any data or media, such as application folders, music, videos, or pictures on your microSD that you’d like to keep you can easily transfer that content to the moneto microSD.

* * Transferring data from my microSD to my moneto microSD

Load your microSD onto your computer. You can do this by using a microSD to USB converter, a microSD to SD card converter with an onboard SD slot, or by leaving your microSD in your phone and connecting your phone to your computer via USB cable.

Copy all desired files from your microSD card to the new folder. Simply drag and drop the files or folders you wish to transfer

Right click your microSD card and select “Eject” to safely remove it

Insert the second microSD card as you did in step 1

Copy the files you moved in step two and paste them in the moneto microSD, eject the drive to safely remove the card. Removing the microSD without ejecting on your computer or unmounting on your phone can damage any data stored on the card.

*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ddrt:
How so?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikey80021:
My thoughts on it being less secure would be if someone has a receiver for NFC, they could access your chip. There was a news story here in Denver, I don't remember the station, where they went yo the airport with said receiver and started pulling up information from people with the NFC credit cards. I have no idea if that would be an issue on phones, as I have not done any research on it, so it may not be an issue...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
You have to actually load an app and do an authorization in order to make a payment with a wallet through NFC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I am trying to think about the hacking possibilities. Also when you think about credit card theft, cell phone theft is also pretty high. For example, if you have an NFC sd card, and your phone gets stolen, how easy would it be to hack in and get the pin and have access to everything?

I haven't learned enough about it though, I could possibly be mistaken/misunderstanding/paranoid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
How would you get the Google wallet app on your phone if u get this? I love Google wallet and use it all the time withmy nexus.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srgwidowmaker:
Ya but u can track ur phone with avast and look out. So if anything its more secure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lse4:
I believe it has nothing to do with google wallet. You have to download their own app in the market
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
That's more likely with RFID chips (the kind new passports have), not NFC. NFC has a very short range (literally, a few cm's) and as another person mentioned, you need to initiate a transaction for it to even show up. The only way they'd be able to do that would be to try and hijack the payment terminal itself since the range is so short. And even then, I'd imagine someone would notice if the card didn't seem like it was going through, but the customer was showing that they paid or it looked like two charges were trying to be made.

Security wise, NFC shows a lot more promise than RFID. It's really going to come down to how fast it expands (currently only uses MasterCard PayPass system and not all stores have those) and whether or not it's more convenient to use compared to traditional payment methods.

I've installed the SlideIt keyboard, and it's working great. Love it! Thanks for the post on installing alternate keyboards. Thing is, though, I'd love to try the Speech Recognition function, but it's greyed out. After some searching, I figured I needed to install something like Google Voice. I did, but don't really understand what that's all about. My Nook's not a phone, so I don't care about voice messages. At the very least, I thought it would allow me to enable speech recognition in SlideIt, but that option's still greyed out.

Has anyone been able to do this? And can someone explain what Google Voice is for, on a Nook Tablet?

I've searched and searched, but I because of the horrible search function on this site, I can't search for "Google Voice" without getting a zillion results that have both "google" and "voice" SOMEWHERE in the thread.

Thanks,

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Google voice is used for text messages and calls to all USA and Canada for free, while google search is just for search by using voice recognition its way 2 different things. Google search can be installed eather by market or by using any other sideloading ways, preferably in /system/app to work properly.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
by default your apk's will install to data/app, i believe what veronica means is to move those installed apk's in data/app into system/app and make the corrections to permissions if needed.
