[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dave73nl:
Rooted to but then???

Okay i have rootit my 450.

First i followed the tip of the USB debugging activation (thanx Quinny899).

Then i opend the Gingerbreak 1.20 apk and rooted the Yarvik.

I was a bit affraid when it didn't restart BUT when ik rebooted it manual ther was superuser app and ik checked for root acces and could acces the root so it worked!

But i cannot work with 4EXT. When i want to make a backup it shuts down the program and sais it made a fault and was forced to close..

So i got it rooted but canot find a good way to backup the current rom and i cannot get in the boot loader...

(i have a custum rom on my sensation, but this is not that easy to do...)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DesUKire:
Unable to install vending.apk

I have rooted using the advice given above but am unable to install the vending.apk for android market?

I read that vending.apk needs to be installed straight into the system app directory so how can this be done?

I am also at a loss to know how to flash the google apps rom as an alternative?

Someone please help as i cant believe nobody has an easy guide on how to install a custom rom on this tablet or how to install the official market and have a smooth running tablet by now??

Some genius must have done it??

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legoman90:
I have this tablet too. But i dont try to root.

I think you must copy vending.apk to system/app and you must click on mount r/w. So you have to install root explorer.

Sry my bad english jjeje
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legoman90:
Seriously, a lot of thanks for your help. I will try to do this weekend and I will post about it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legoman90:
When I write the command. It returns the following error: mount: operation not permitted

What can i do it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] de-wolff:
Modified description

In my earlier post I modified the description.

After you have done a lot of steps, it is always difficult to recall what you have done, and what steps where necesary.

I did forget about the Gingerbreak step, because afterwards I removed it from the device.

btw the internal mmc memory is used very inefficient. I already was able to expand the system partition with 100 MB.

I will try to put more functionality in this partition, and will post the result when done
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legoman90:
I root with gingerbreak and i could install the market and search some apps but i cant read the description or download it. I dont know how to install the vending.apk in the system folders...

I wait your news
[Miscellaneous Android Development] de-wolff:
More hints

It is important to understand, that you do not have to install market.

Just put it on the right place (I made the same mistake myself the first time).

When you did install using a normal installation procedure, first try to clear all associated data, and deinstall it.

When market is not in the system folder, it will not run with root permissions, and will crash during download.

Next step to realize is that Gingerbreak is a one time solution. You are superuser for a while, but after you reboot, you are an ordenary user again.

Thats why you can need Superuser.apk and su

If you only want to use market, you don't need them.

Once you are superuser, either using Gingerbreak or any other way, you can do wathever you want.

The first thing to do after you became superuser is make the system partition read/write, normally it is read only. You can do this in a shell, or in the terminal where you are superuser:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk2p2 /system

now I can copy all files from inside my android device to whatever folder in the system partition

busybox cp /whatever-folder-on-my-andoid-system/Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk

Now you have to make sure the root is the owner of the Vending apk:

chown root.root /system/app/Vending.apk

and the apk has the right permissions:

chmod 0644 /system/app/Vending.apk

When you now should reboot, market is active, no need to install, only put in the right folder, with the right permissions.

However, when you reboot now, you lose your superuser rights, and have to use gingerbreak again when you want to do some more.

Look at post #9 for the full receipe.

If you still have problems, please give as detailed as possible what you did, what works, and what did not work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legoman90:
Thank you very much! In the end I was able to install the market otherwise. I have root user so I just had to install rootexplorer and copy vending.apk to system / app

ThankS All!

Now the next step is to put a rom on yarvik XD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legoman90:
If I try to replace some files to put a recovery in system folders, it could be fine like in my phone???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jiandroid:
You have to set the recovery mod for your Tab450. But I cannot find any recovery image so far. I have a Tab450 as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] T_I:
The recovery image was requested (by several posters) on the Yarvik support forum, but they are not responding. I'm currently researching the possibility to build a custom rom myself, as there doesn't seem to be one around.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] si3wc4:
Does anyone know how to root Yarvik Tab260??

I bought one yesterday but it is already running Android 4.0.3 ICS...
[Android General] luna_c666:
Was going to post in Off Topic, but I thought this might get buried, and thought it mighty important, also, general and on-topic..lol

As you may have heard, there is currently a lawsuit from some devs against software giants like apple, google, adobe, just to name a few. The lawsuit alleges that these major software companies have agreed not to hire anyone from a rival software firm while they are still working for the rival (i.e. Apple treats you like crap? Google isn't going to hire you and treat you any better), what's more they agreed to tell their rivals when one of their employees is submitting their resume and seeking employment at their rival firm. Also, after you leave, they don't want you working for their rivals either..there was talk about even FORMER employees being blacklisted from employment at rival firms.

Recently emails have surfaced between Steve Jobs and CEO of Adobe at the time who informed Jobs that his anti-poaching agreement was 'likely illegal'. As someone who is getting into development now, and am quite the noob, this really lifted a veil off of a world where corporations are using the developers and then ruining their careers or locking them into having to work for the same company, if they want to work at all, for the rest of their career, without opportunity being given to have better benefits because of an almost mafia-like agreement between these software giants.

Is this typical from you guys' experience?? And what is your opinion on it..if you have one..
[Android General] Archer:
Most of the places I've worked at have had some kind of similar thing in the contract. It's generally been that I can't work for direct competition within a period of x months after leaving the company. I've never heard of anything going into the depths you've mentioned though, but if Mr.A and Mr.B agree not to employ each others staff then I don't really see what you can do about that.
[Android General] luna_c666:
http:// http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/20/steve-jobs-anti-poaching_n_1220244.html?ref=technology

Tell me what you think about wonderful pacifist lefty Jobs now ifanbois lol

Also, Google 'FOXCONN'..that place is awful, another thing that troubles me about technology and apple specificlly..apple directly employs over 100,000 people, and indirectly over 700,000, yet only 45,000 of those jobs are American, mostly designers and the guys who work at Corning making gorilla glass for i-stuff..I was looking at becoming an engineer or programmer, but I'm beginning to wonder if it is a 'morraly sound' decision lol
[Android General] FaalKorum:
I dunno what exactly the government doesn't like about it, unless the rules are in place to keep companies from hoarding skilled employees on the assumption that it gives them some kind of competitive advantage.
[Android General] luna_c666:
...oops, but forgive i don't understand why this would be in 'android development' 'android general' because it isn't about android specifically..but many smartphone manufacturers/software companies not excusively android (???) forgive i sound dense..but I did read and do follow the rules (I thought!) so I just want to know exactly why this was not considered to be in the right section (the news article I posted was actually Apple-heavy, definitely not 'android development general discussion' thread material I thought surely.. ):confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gksmith:
When not using Bluetooth my voice calls always answer with speaker phone on. How do I default the calls to SP off? I've searched and found a few ideas but none work.

Os this a Goolgle voice thing or related to my ROM? I use Caulkin and I have had this issue for aqhile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Do you use GV to make & receive calls? Is your phone paired with your GV account, or do you simply use GV for voicemail?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gksmith:
I just use GV for voice mail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brianhot1:
Do you have voxer as an app on there? I noticed I run into that issue sometimes after installing this app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
hmm...never thought of that. ****s super annoying!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gksmith:
Nope, no Voxer. I'm not even sure when the problem started. It could have been before I started using Google Voice for voice mail (integrated with Sprint).

I haven't found any GV settings that would enable the speaker phone on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
There is a GV setting for answering with speaker on. If your phone is integrated, it might be forcing your phone. Try changing that setting or even freezing GV and see if anything changes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I have this issue too wether I have apps or not installed and even b4 I rooted. I think it's a glitch with the phone itself. It's annoying! It doesn't always do it but when it does it looks stupid that I got the phone to my ear and then the person bust out on the speaker smh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Is it possible your phones are in car mode or the "Driving Mode" that the Samsung version of Vlingo installs? I think one of the car mode features is to automatically answer calls in speakerphone mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
My driving mode is never on. It just does it idk y.. Maybe it saves the last calls setting so if you hang up on speakerphone the next call comes thru on it. Idk but I will test it out tomorrow and see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattemer:
I know this is months late, but my wife's phone just randomly started doing this. Go to voice talk in apps tray, then hit menu button, then scroll down to voice talk settings, then disable auto speaker on answer.

This just worked for us. Just in case anyone else comes looking for the answer.

Hi guys, i really need your help.. I am planning to get a new dual core cellphone but i am confused between o2x and o3d.. I wanna go in favour of o3d, but the reviews say that battery back up is really bad. Is it really that bad? whats the maximum battery backup i would get in moderate usage? And also I am a gamer and will b hoping to do a lot of gamin in ma cell.. soplease suggest me which one i should go for.
[LG Optimus 3D] adixtra:
I would buy a P920 :). Battery 2-3 days with medium usage, 1 day with high usage :).

P920 had bigger screen and 3d features (3d games, movies, photos). Most of games are avilable for Optimus 3d, only some not working( real tegra games). Performance is very high.
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
Don't get LG trust me you will regret it believe me i am a mobile phone fanatic i have so many but i had high hopes for the O3D but trust me i will never buy a LG again...
[LG Optimus 3D] nickrulez13789:
Tnks for the reply..

you sure o3d Will last a day? but i hear people sayin it wont even last 4 to 5 hrs?
[LG Optimus 3D] nickrulez13789:
oh so you do own a o3d? plz share ur reviews. Howz battery back up? is it the software you hate or is it the mobile itself?

thanks for ur reply.
[LG Optimus 3D] ViktorKitov:
It's great very fast and relatively stable. Battery sucks though (Like most smartphones) If you play a game in about 2 Hours the battery is down to 20% (Real Racing 2)

Software is nice, it plays 720p Video without a problem (Havent tried FUll HD, but Im sure it will work great) The 3D is suprisingly cool, especialy to impress your friends. Menus and Widgeds are above average and offer a good experience in my opinion.

Hardware is where it shines the Ti OMAP CPU and 512MB RAM coupled with a PowerVR Video Accelerator, make it a beast. The screen is very good also, extremely sensetive and bright, great for multimedia.

I would reccomend it any day (If you get it for the right price)
[LG Optimus 3D] nickrulez13789:
oh Tnks. am gettin it for a new box packed phone with bill for 25k.. i.e $500, should i go for it.

and one more thing, is the ginger bread update out yet? and can it play normal 2d videos in 3d?
[LG Optimus 3D] tenkan:
Hey mate don't buy LG p920 3D phone or any lg phone for that matter just to many problems 2.3 updates make it even worse the battery life is crap I brought the bigger 3300mah one and it still sucks bro im gonna get the Samsung S2 galaxy at least its got the 2.3 update with ice cream update coming out soon so that's the one to go for,cheers
[LG Optimus 3D] 314:
I'm not too sure about the O2x, but on O3D GB, i get around

250 hours 2G standby time(3% per night)

Really long Music playback (Better than any other device I've used)

3.5-5 hours video playback on minumum brightness(Normal 350mb/40min quality)

2.5 hours video playback on Maximum brightness

2-3 hours Wifi web browsing W/Opera mini (IDK about stock)

2-3 hours Light gaming (2D Games, such as Angry birds, etc)

1-2 hours graphically intensive gaming (Such as GTA, or any game converted into 3D. Most drain battery extremely quickly and cause the phone to heat up quite a bit)

The Optimus 3D also seems to have a glitchy touchscreen. Its probably not the best phone to game with.

Speed wise, The TI 4430 should be faster than the Tegra 2, but most games are optimized for tegra 2 since its a pretty common chipset.
[LG Optimus 3D] nickrulez13789:
Buddy, the stats u've provided is exclusively for o3d only or evn other dual core phones perform in the same range?
[LG Optimus 3D] 314:
For the O3D.

I'm not too sure why Gaming drains so much more battery than playing videos... Gaming only uses slightly more battery compared to playing videos on my Desire HD (Single core though), while the screen pretty much consumes most of the battery.
[LG Optimus 3D] Evil Slayer:
can't you just get it from amazon??i got mine from this seller(http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A3TBDBTCHAVT15) for 375$...new in box and European...not usa version....there was even an hdmi cable with it...

cuz if you are willing to pay 500$..go for galaxy SII...

.this phone IS VERY good(i mean amazing specs with a 375$ price is awesome!)...but if you are not 3D freak...and willing to pay 500+few extra bucks...go for galaxy SII

oh and gingerbread is out...have some problems but usable....and you can add 3d effect to 2d movies....but its kinda hit and mess....not very good...3d effect on 2d games is better.....

on a side note...Atrix 4g is even cheaper than 375$ and its excellent for the price...its better than optimus 2X and have some very good specs(Dual core,1GB ram,16GB built-in memory,good community support.HDMI,qHD Res)

but of course minus 0.3 inch from the screen size and 3D
[LG Optimus 3D] Claudio67:
I've an sgs2 and o3d, my wife o2x...

SGS2 is the best choice, look at sgs2 forum, there are at least 50 rom's that u can pick up and try, a lot of kernels, speedmod is one of the best IMHO, I have 3-4 days of battery with 2 k9 accounts, plus gmail, lot of widget. Of course my screen is on only for 1 hour browsing per day, some calls and messages.

SGS2 all the life!
[LG Optimus 3D] nickrulez13789:
Id love to go for S2.. but here it costs around $620(Rs 31000) and buyin from amazon? let me think abt it.. cos it depends on customs fee also... will calculate and decide.. :)
[LG Optimus 3D] nickrulez13789:
And guys also tel me, will der b a diff b/w unlocked thrill 4g & stock o3d? thrill 4g comes for around $440 here.. is it ok if i go wid thrill 4g? how abt gb and ics update for 4g? heard that its not recieved GB yet, and wont b getting ICS?
[LG Optimus 3D] Otkudja:
I would also go for O2D because it has better GPU, Power Vrx which works on 300Mhtz. I get usually 1,5 days on normal usage. When I play games as MOdern combat 3 and real racing 2 battery is empty after 2 h.
[LG Optimus 3D] 314:
The Thrill 4g doesn't have an GB Update or ROM yet. IDK if it will get ICS or not. Thrill 4g is 4g though.

Hi all,

i hope having searched the forum correctly, I have a question regarding a Xperia Arc and its bloatware....

I rooted the phone, passed via Titanium and others to uninstall the bloatware, but after a re-start all's back.

The only function is to freeze, but this doesn't help me much since I need free space on the phone....

can anyone help?

I saw something with a flashtool, but this means (if well read) that it needs a ROM to be flashed as well (for the moment I'd like to keep the phone with stock)?

thanks for the feedback and sorry if I missed something on the Xperia forum (hey, got a DHD myself as primary phone....)

Hi I'm new to developing with android. I have created programs for windows using vb and know a lot about websites. I don't know if that will help any but any advice would help. I already have the sdk and avd along with eclipse for both windows and Linux. Also does anyone have any source codes I could benifit looking at?
[General Questions and Answers] Dblt:
If you are looking to develop apps there are several good books you can buy from Amazon such as Hello android and SAMS teach yourself android just to get you started and introduce you to the way that Android apps are written (although some bad habits creep in from reading these books too)

Otherwise a good free place to start is the Android pages themselves - developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html

This will get you in to the basics and show you how to set up eclipse (sounds like you have done this bit though)

Otherwise just google and you find lots of links, and possibly check out Replica Island -replicaisland.net/ - which is an open source game that you can also download for free in the android market

Hi everybody.

I've ported MIUI ICS for our lovely device, Galaxy Tab.

It's Based on CM9(Thanks to humberos and others). Now it has many problems and I dont suggest it for daily usage.

Bugs:

All CM9 Bugs

Wi-Fi

SD mounts(I think It's a little buggy)

Others you'll be find.

Fixes:

SD Mounts(not fully OK, but better than default):

adb shell
su
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard /mnt/emmc
cd /mnt/emmc/
mkdir external_sd
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard/external_sd /mnt/emmc/external_sd

Themes:

adb shell
su
cd /data/system/
mkdir theme

Thanks:

HumberOS and TE4M for CM9

Miuiandroid for MIUI ICS

I will port 2.1.20 verry soon.
