Hi all,

i´ve downloaded the current version of cm7 for the lenovo a1. It works really fine. But now i wanted to get back to the stock system. My problem is that i didn´t noticed that i had to download the stock-a1-ramdisk.zip file before installing cm7. I now got the external sd mounted by following the instructions from pati in the thread. I´ve never used adb before, but i had no problems to start it and use the commands. Then i wanted to mount the internal sd to copy the zip file and get back to stock system. I tried different types of doing the following but i don´t know exactly why, it won´t work.

edit the vold.fstab just like this:

## Vold 2.0 A1_07 fstab

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 5 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0

dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

then reboot A1,the internal card mounted on /sdcard and external sdcard mounted on /emmc

Could someone please tell me how i have to enter this in the console exactly?

18th Feb Nightly Build

Tonight's nightly build failed because I didn't properly set up the device-vendor-blobs.mk file for the libcamera additions on the build machine. I have (hopefully) fixed this and restarted the build. With luck, the build should appear in the Nightly Build directory by midnight GMT.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] b3h3moth:
Thanks for your work gmarkall, and everyone.

I'm having an issue installing the .zip.. Google is of no help. When I boot into recovery and choose the .zip to install, I get the following error:

Any ideas?

Did you rename file into update.zip and install it?

Maybe wrong, because I install this zip file using CWM with no problem.

Try this!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] b3h3moth:
I did try to rename it as update.zip in /sdcard, no luck. I'll try installing through ROM manager.

Thanks for ur efforts! It is a great news for ideapad A1!

Just one question, it seems forget to add H.264 for video. So, I found some online video play app. can not work due to lack of H.264 support. Appreciated if u can add it into next version, maybe u can get this module from Lenovo official ROM:)

Thanks again for ur great job!

Hi,

just installed the new nightly, it files snappy and responsive, and seams to work fine

except 1-the wifi messed up at first attempt,

2-restoring apps from market failed and should use titanium back-up

3-the LCD density seams to changed as the icons and text are very tiny is there any original solution in CM7 or I should use lcd density apps from market?

by the way I am going to keep using it for a while , and I am happy,

thanks for great work

ps: Is it the camera bug that makes Gtalk unable to make video call or I am using an old gapp version ? I also don't have gmail on. I am using "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" from CM wiki.

I would like to write data to the tags (using nexus s) with encryption so that only my phone or my app which has the key that can read the tag to show valid data (not just raw read/write).

My question is, does nexus s or android sdk supports this feature?

Is this feature limited to software or hardware capability?

Hi all,

I am a liitle bit astonished. Curently I am using "Icecream sunday Final by jusada" on my SGA.........but I miss the original thread for that ROM resp. I can not find it anymore.

Any informatioon what happened?

thx

Nogger
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madman:
nothing happened to rom..

not available for public anymore so stop asking any further question and look in general forum threads to find out answer of why removed
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Spex:
stop asking this questions

its removed so u cant post stupid questions on thread

team cooper will decide what will they do
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] torchwolfery:
WTH have you not been reading the other thread about rudeness to the devs and now here you are being rude to some one asking a legitimate question in the general section.

And before you reply I dont care if the question has been asked once or a thousand times. he asked and someone should just answer without the tude...

The Rom was deleted by juasada because he felt that people here were being rude and not appreciating what he did. sadly it looks like there will be no continuation of the work he did.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madman:
do you see same question on same page being asked and answered??

I never said anything about any dev or complained of something as i knw what it takes to make things work..

xda is not place where someone ask question which is answered many times..

and this question is gonna be asked many a times in near future..just wait

if question is asked thousand times then search might be button you want to click and use:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] torchwolfery:
how can you say its not a place to ask questions???? xda is a community and a forum. a forum is a place for the asking and answering of questions.

a community are people who work together for the good of all.

as for what i said. its the truth, no complaining its why he left just a fact. if you had just answered the question without the tude then we could be out there helping others instead of wasting our time like this
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mawnstermew:
well it does seems that not only some newbies are rude but others also. You dont have to reprimand someone for the second time around. If someone already did, then you dont have tell him again. its like making him bleed and bleed more. If you have nothing good to say at all then keep it to yourself.

[LG Optimus 2x] eistmxcxc:
Take a look at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035041&highlight=original

Find your firmware that fits to your country and provider. Download the file and read the instructions (link at the bottom of the first post).

After that, you'll have an untouched stock rom again (but why? :confused:)
[LG Optimus 2x] afteron:
If you have a Backup of the Stock ROM you could just restore from it.

But if you dont, you have to download your ROM and use SmartFlash. :)

You should try MIUI Roms if CMs a bit out of your taste.

Goodluck though! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
Can i know the reason why u want to go back to stock....?if it is to something specific....its ok...but if it is to change ROMs...then i can suggest something....
[LG Optimus 2x] luka2858:
Feel free to suggest :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
Try the newer ROMs based on V20O....which will ofcourse require you to flash the Base Band V20M and the RIL recommended by GetRIL or LG RIL apps.

But, personally, I was happy with Thanatos 5.1, Blazing Dragon 2.1a, Django0.5ICS with spica's Kernel....all these gave me a minimum of 40hrs in battery performance and the device was very soft with movement with extremely few reboots and FCs in app openings.

Everything depends on ur satisfaction and feel.....Try these....I tried also the CM7 but changed....so try all the great work by developers....appreciate the fact that without these guys....this device would be uninteresting...

BRAVO DEVELOPERS of LG O2X
[LG Optimus 2x] stesmi:
May I also ask - what ROM were you specifically using? Were you using CM 7.1 normal? Were you using some other CM7 based rom?

I recently made the switch from stock GB to tomasek's CM7 nightly based rom and I'm not going back - it's just heaps and bounds better than anything else I've tried.

If you have in fact tried a recent CM7 "Kang" build then please tell us what you found lacking.

To me there would only be one single reason to go back to stock - the LG widgets. I haven't found anything that works like the LG Memo widget anywhere else. (ie it's a widget, not only an app. You can also slide left/right to get the next/previous note. I haven't found anything that can do this). If someone pointed me at a similar widget then I'd be set.

But that aside, it's worth not having the LG widgets if it means getting all the other improvements of CM.

Another big point for me - Where do you think the first ICS roms will come from?

Very likely CM9. They are hard at work at it right now and looking at the progress document they're making huge steps every day.

So getting used to CM7.x now only means that it's easier to switch to CM9 (ICS) when it comes.

That's just my 0.02 of whatever currency you happen to be using.

[LG Optimus 2x] 2Kings:

I wanna get my first tablet. I was thinking about Asus Prime but Asus realeased a product full of bugs and issues that even ICS cant solve. The Galaxy Tab seems like a good product for me. My main use is HD videos, web browsing and reading. Games will be nice too :)

My main concern about the G Tab is there is no SD card slot. It is realy important to me. There is any way to connect an external memory to it?

How about ICS? did the G Tab get the update?

Thank you ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] manicnerd:
Google EPL-1PLRBEGSTA (I cant post links yet)

Should bring up a USB and SD Card reader adapter for the tablet.

ICS has yet to be released.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] czesiu:
and the USB adapter is in the box (at least with mine)

tab 10.1 will get ICS someday (probably earlier with cyanogenmod;) )
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] theoriginalsss:
I have the 10.1, and a good friend just got the Asus... all things said and done, i think the 10.1 wins out. The mod community (task650, cyanogen, b00sted, etc) are doing great things with ROM/theme development, so you won't be missing out on that front...

...but my biggest preference over the ASUS is the casing itself - it's surprisingly heavy in comparison, which was a big factor for me in selecting a tablet (if I wanted something bulky and heavy, I'd just carry my laptop around). The keyboard attachment available with the ASUS is better executed than the Samsung keyboard, admittedly - but with the plethora of virtual keyboards available, I find myself rarely missing a physical keyboard. As for the lack of SD slot, I have the USB adapter (3rd party one, but works great - and was far cheaper than the official Samsung one), and have a 4gb stick I use with no issues... the sticks need to be formatted in FAT-32 to work, although pershoot's kernel offers NTFS support.

My two cents - good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rkmj:
I have the 32GB version of the 10.1 and I also have the USB adapter, (the Samsung version). I've had the device since launch day and have yet to run out of internal space. Nevertheless, I have a 64GB usb thumbdrive and have, on occasion plugged it into the tab via the USB adapter to copy a movie to it or transfer a file to the USB drive. I've never had a problem with this setup, so it seems viable. As for an answer to your second question, there are already ICS ROMs available here on XDA, (most if not all are in Alpha,) and Samsung is releasing an ICS update for the entire 2011 range of Galaxy Tabs, (10.1, 8.9, 7.0 Plus, and 7.7.) I hope this info helps. Good luck with your decision.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bar_rodoy:
Thanks for your comments. It is really a hard decision. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 ןד a stable, fast and reliable device, but its Tegra 2 device while the Tegra 3 is coming. I think I will wait a little to see whats coming next.

The G TAB 10.1 seems to be a little expensive for me, compare to the Prime technology. They both 499 USD but at least on paper, the Prime is better.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] czesiu:
same price? go with Prime obviously!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rkmj:
One thing I would advise if going with the prime though, is waiting until the newer version comes out. ASUS released the first prime with some rather serious design flaws in the back panel that cause poor wifi, bluetooth, and GPS reception, (the GPS being the most serious.) As a result, they have released an updated version with a new back panel that purports to fix these issues. The unfortunate thing is that the updated Tranfsormer Prime is going to be set at $600-$700 here in the US, so it will be a great deal more expensive than the 10.1, and with the lack of apps that are optimized for dual core, let alone quad core, I don't think the extra $100-$200 is justified. Just my two cents.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Have you read the front page of their forum? It's falling apart. Five friends bought the Prime over the holidays and three are returning it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] karib4:
I had a prime on order due to be delivered tomorrow, but the day after iCS was released I canceled the order. I knew it had gps issues, but it seems like the update is jacking up some tablets and I don't want to take the chance. I bought the SGT 10.1 today with the bluetooth logitech android keyboard. I will consider selling it on ebay is 6+ months if something better comes along that I just must have. I will give this a try though, its charging up now! I know I didn't want to pay $650 (tablet and dock) for something that is potentially broken out the box...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bar_rodoy:
I have not decided yet if I go on the Galaxy or not. I have few more questions:

Can I connect a bluetooth keyboard/mouse to it?

Does it have HDMI output? From what I found, an adaptor is needed.

Well, games are not the reason that I want a tablet, but how the Galaxy run games? I mean, its smooth? laggy?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rkmj:
So I hopped over to the first page of the Transformer Prime General forum and I was floored! I knew that it was having issues and that customers were up-in-arms about it, but I didn't realize the true extent of the problem until I looked at that thread. With as many problems as this device is having, the locked bootloader seems like the least of their problems, but unlocking it is definitely a priority so that a dev can go in and clean up the mess that ASUS seems to have made with this software. The hardware, on the other hand, is another story. No amount of XDA wizardry can fix poorly designed hardware. It seems that ASUS rushed the Prime to market, and in an attempt to be "belle of the ball," as it were, at CES, they rushed this ICS update which seems to have added to owner's woes.

Here's a list of the most prevalent issues with the Transformer Prime, pulled from their "General" section:

1. GPS Issues: GPStest showing no signal whatsoever. Device can't get GPS lock)

2. Wifi Issues: Poor Connectivity/unable to connect to wifi.

3. Bluetooth Issues: Poor Connectivity

4. "Unknown Serial" Error: Many devices are unable to get OTA updates due to the fact that the system can't recognize their serial number. (This one is horrendously bad)

5. MicroSD card slot: Some owners are loosing their cards due to improper design of the slot. Apparently the placeholder from the Prime is very similar to a standard MicroSD, but is not the same size in order to stay in the devices' slot and fit flush.

6. Dock problems with USB: Apparently some of the the docks are incapable of powering or mounting usb devices unless you put the tablet in the dock, connect the USB device, and then restart the tablet while everything is connected.

7. Lockup/Reboot: Since the ICS update, (for those who dodged the "unknown serial" bullett,) the tablet will randomly freeze, the screen will lock up and it will reboot itself.

8. Screen "Banding": After the update, some devices are experiencing "banding," a display of horizontal bars across the screen which interrupt the display and render the underlying display partially visible/unusable.

The issues above are just a few that I've picked out after reading through the first 2 pages of the "General" section in the Transformer Prime forums here at XDA. I pinpointed these issues for a few reasons. First, they have been confirmed by other members/owners and are widespread. Second, they are all recent. Third, these are all rather serious and are not merely the complaints of people upset with functionality or UI changes or issues that can be solved by a mere reboot/reset. It would seem that the Prime, Tegra 3 or not, is not a good bet. If you want a tablet now, go with the 10.1 If you're not sold on the 10.1, there are plenty of other Android tablets out there for you to choose from. For now though, I'd steer clear of the ASUS Transformer Prime
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rkmj:
You can connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the tab. I have an Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard (the slim aluminum version), and a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth mouse. I connect both of them to the tab at once and it is like having a very light, slim, sexy laptop.

You will need an adapter, but you can have HDMI out. You might also want to look into things like allshare and DNLA. These are apps and standards that allow you to stream contents from your tablet to other devices in your home.

Games are wonderful. Although I rarely ever play them, I've loaded mine up with the big games, and they all work wonderfully.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bar_rodoy:
OK, and thats only with one core because ICS isnt out yet, so its sounds great. I found a seller on Ebay that sells the G Tab 10.1 at about 420 USD. I will go for it. Thank you all!
