Sorry for redirecting to a post on the same forum section, but this is my favorite app discovery of the last few weeks...:

N7 music player. I can bet that it will pretty soon come play in the grounds of the major players like winamp and poweramp.
[Defy Themes and Apps] measel:
Just as a warning: For me this player destabelized my CM7 system. First after installing, vol.rocker-press for switching songs stopped working as well as lockscreen play/pause menu. On top of that systems seems much more unresponsive. But of course I'm not sure about n7 caused it. after uninstall buttons all worked again.

works fine for me on 24/2 cm9 build. I feel if themes and a bit more accurate album art assignment are implemented, then this is arguably the most user-friendly and comprehensive audio player for android. your unresponsive/destabilized system may be due to a host of factors..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pb05life:
So today I had to call 911 because I was watching a crime happen. And I tried to take video or pictures of the crime since I have full HD and thought it would help police but to my surprise you can't do that while you are making a call.

I am just kinda shocked that the "the best superphone on the market could not take a picture and make a call at the same time"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grenademasta:
I never thought I would need to make a phone call and use video at the same time before. What was the crime? Just curious. Btw witnesses have put criminals behind bars way before cell phones were even invented.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] orangejulio:
This has surprised and frustrated me, too. Also, I occasionally have taken a picture while playing music, and it mutes the music, even if you have disabled the shutter sound. There is definitely room for improvement here...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gallaxxeess:
And so have witnesses that weren't there ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
yeah, known issue since day one on this phone. But 3rd party camera apps work perfect while in-call.. sucks though..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaZart:
This, although I wouldn't classify this as a "major" flaw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
The only major "FLAW" that I really see with this phone is the lines and blobs problem.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikrame:
No surprises; I realize that thing same day i bought this phone . Use camera zoom fx instead of regular camera . We can take pics while talking. I dont think there is video though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
And how is this a major flaw??????? Dude...get off your phone and take some pictures....yes it might be a inconvenience to you, but this is my no means a flaw, just something that Google didn't think about or think it was necessarily.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SevenSe7enSeven:

this is a known issue and has been asked / reported before
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
The phone can do it however Samsung turned the feature off in the factory software.

Use 3rd party app for now until they adjust it.

LOL you phrased that as if they are ever going to change it LMFAO HAHA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pb05life:
911 wanted me to stay on the phone but I agree flaw is a little harsh. Maybe a major oversight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Well, I guess if they really wanted you to stay on that makes sense. I think someone posted earlier that Maui Camera works on a call.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Wow chill, hes simply expressing that there's much power under the hood and the phone can't even do that on stock software. You would think it could since they are basic functions of a phone...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
I heard something recently about fileshare sites being shut down...is that what I'm experiencing. Tried to download files from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359068 and none of the links work. Actually a couple did but said I could only download a file I uploaded myself. I tried downloading from another thread on this site and had the same problem. Any solutions/alternatives? How can I download from the link I posted above?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
I see a KJ4 link. Have you tried the KJ5 thread? It's the newest one for our 7310.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
Hi nirogu325, thanks for replying. This is what I am trying to do:

-Enable adhoc connection so I can use my windows mobile phone as a hotspot for my tabl, and

-Enable USB charging for my tab in my car and elsewhere, not just wall jack.

Based on what I've read, I need busybox (Titanium back up says it's installed but when I downloaded an app called wifiadhocenabler, it says it is not installed. Installing it from the market says I need Nand Unlock and this is where I'm stuck at the moment. Do you know how to perform this on the P7310? Or an easier way to meet the objectives above?

Thanks again
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
I assume you're on a stock firmware. If I were you, I'd flash this specific version which is already rooted and has busybox as you can read in the OP. Also, flash the v2d version of the motley kernel and go here for the USB charging script and instructions on enabling. I know that last link is for the 10.1, but it is the one motley linked to in the v2b version changelog in his kernel thread.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
After my soft brick yesterday, I used Odin to "install" the version you attached in your General Guide post P310XARKJ5_P7310UEKJ5_HOME.tar.md5). That's the one, right?

Anyway, the good news is, I decided to install BusyBox without doing the Nand Unlock (maybe it was already done?), and it worked! The wifiadhocenabler app works now and I have a connection to my wm phone! Yay! Before trying the app (for the sake of onlookers) I tried the other method with the wpa_supplicant, such as the one here: http://androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets/ and it did not work for me. The app did!

So now, I'll try the kernel you posted above and then the USB charging.

I'm going to look over your general guide to see if I can figure out how to flash. I'm guessing it's the same or similar to when I recovered my tab in Odin...?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
If you mean flashing a CWM package as the motley kernel, a file goes in the SDcard, you access the CWM Recovery and flash. That's a generic way BUT depending on what you will flash you may have to wipe. That's why I avoided altogether putting generic instructions regarding CWM packages in my guide (instructions may vary between ROM and kernels). Read your flashable package's thread carefully.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
kind of like rooting? Yes, do I have to wipe to flash the motley kernel? I'm not seeing the flashable packages thread, can you point me to it?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
No, lol. If you want to flash the motley kernel just follow that thread's instructions. I gave you the motley kernel thread link in a previous post. For kernels, no wipe is necessary, for ROMs, yes.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
Ok, thank you. lol
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
You're welcome. Some people have the tendency NOT to wipe while flashing ROMs...yet complain later on the road. Always wipe when it comes to ROMs if you want to avoid issues. The only bugs you will experience are the ones that come with the ROM already. Better safe than sorry.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
Ah, that leads me to wonder...When my tab was soft bricked and I used Odin3 and inserted the KJ5 file into the PDA section, and so on (I think that was flashing), was I supposed to do a wipe before I did that? If so, would it be better if I started from scratch again? ...hoping not, but better now than latter I'm thinking.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
No. ODIN clears everything (including kernels, ROMs and CWM Recoveries). Everything back to stock. I was just referring to flashing other custom ROMs (non-ODIN, i.e. CWM flashable) procedures. Stick to the thread instructions in your chosen ROM and you'll be fine. It's just that some don't follow instructions and due to that, they may experience weird bugs.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
That's good news, and strange, because after I used Oden3 (in the way I previously described), all my apps and files were still in tact. Does it just affect the system and not the file memory?

P.S. Hey! I'm no longer a noob! lol I just noticed I am now a "Junior Member".
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
P.S.S. I'm now running my tablet off my wm hotspot while charging it on my pc! woohoo
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
That is because you didn't check F.Reset Time on the left side of ODIN before flashing. It is advisable to make sure it is checked. Thanks, I'm gonna put that little but important detail in my guide (dunno how I missed that one :o). I advise using Titanium Backup (for apps backup) and then ODIN. You might be fine as you are, but if you ever experience something weird then you know.

I'm glad you made it!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
Thanks for your support. If I ever have some extra change and feel like making a donation, I'll keep you in mind! Hey, where's your donation link anyway? Better get one!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
My tablet is definitely a little laggy now, but that could be the 3.2 HC. Since I did not check that off, does it mean that it did not install on a clean wipe? I'm wondering if I should just do it while I remember the path to how I got where I'm at now. I doubt I'll remember everything down the road.

I have been making nandroid backups as well as titanium app backups.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
As for donations, nah it's ok, I am no developer. As for the suggestion, it was just that, a suggestion for next time. Keep that in mind. It will become a habit down the road.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
nirogu325,

I'm back to do my clean wipe. I performed the wipe/data reset in nandroid and now it's saying there is an update from KJ5 to LA3. Do you still think the custom kj5 is better than the stock LA3? I'm wondering if I should just install the update, root, install the motley kernel and go from there...?

Hope you're well! I still think you should add a donate link...you don't have to be a developer, your assistance/guidance is equally helpful to the community.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
While I'm waiting, I flashed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1375112 and then I noticed I have the old CMR so I downloaded your updated package: GTab89Files and I cannot paste a single file from that folder onto my tab. I can paste files from other folders, but this one I copy and when I go to paste the paste option is not enabled; if I drag I get a little red circle with a line through it. Any ideas as to why it's rejecting?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Hi there! Firmware LA3 is newer and smoother overall. I posted a CWM version in the Development section.

Nope. Have you unzipped the file? Is this from inside Android or from a PC? If it is from inside Android, try another file manager. If you don't want to deal with cables download the Airdroid app. Side-note: When I want to download from hosting sites from Android, I use Opera. Somehow it correctly downloads from those files when the stock browser doesn't.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
Hi Nirogu,

It's been a year since you helped me root and customize my tablet which was a great help! I no longer need root and am trying to return it to stock, but am having some trouble. I've successfully unrooted and have the stock recovery, but still have a custom kernel and it does not appear to be stock yet nor connect to Kies. I can't seem to find instructions to restore to stock, could you help me? I'm wondering if I need to use the stock recovery to restore or if I need to do something with Odin. I am being cautious and do not want to brick the tablet. Thanks in advance! FC
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
Download the stock Rom from sammobile.com. extract the.tar.md5 file out of the zip using 7-zip. Use that file in Odin, PDA. It'll return it to like new stock.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Firecracker_RC:
Looks like it worked - so far so good. Thank you, jd1639!

Hello guys I think I have a problem. After installing this (CyanogenMod 7.2-cooper-KANG-RC0-Android 2.3.7) my phone's data capabilities like 3g is not working anymore.

I am using the baseband S5830DXKT5 (2.3.6) from SIngtel. However, after flashing (before I install cm 7.2) I tested the 3g and I connected to the internet and it was fine. But when I install this ROM, my data capabilities fail.

I have the proper internet settings that my network provided me.

I have a signal and Messaging works. I can also browse the internet through wifi.

Help?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kevinlekiller:
Did you manually enter the APN settings and press the circle ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trycan:
No, the settings was already there. I tried to manually change it but the parameters are already the same as what people in my country suggested.

The circle is already toggled.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kevinlekiller:
Found this in the other tread.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trycan:
I had tried it and it still doesnt work.

I also read the whole tread and to no avail, my data connection still does not work. :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trycan:
Ive tried using different baseband versions and different roms.

Whatever baseband I use, the 3g and data connection works. However, once I install any rom there is, Ive tried three (Kang, Ice Cream Sunday, CyanoAce), I just lose 3g and data connection. :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trycan:
can anyone help?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prashanthme:
Now basically i also had the same problem... Intially wen i flashed CM version my DATA nor 3G working.. ;) Later called up my svc provider they told to delete the OLD APN and he guided me thru the whole process of putting new APN.. Viola a restart my DATA came back ;) May be u can try this once...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mywhiteside:
This was an issue for Telcel in Mexico when the upgrade to 2.3 came to Galaxy Ace, the fix was changing the Radio file (to a latin american one) but in this case is all zipped and i don't know if this can help actually.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Eniac77:
Just a stab in the dark, try turning on data roaming... worked for me... with Grif's CM 7.1 with an unlocked Galaxy Ace not running it's native SIM. Worth a shot?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ijustzeke:
Maybe its your APN setting

If you're using globe, they have 3 or 2(not sure) different APN for postpaid and prepaid subscriber.

for postpaid I think its "internet.globe.com.ph"

for prepaid its "http.globe.com.ph"
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trycan:
Can you explain further? I think this maybe the issue because my unit was not bought here in our country. It was bought by my dad in another region.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trycan:
wow this actually worked.

thanks a lot man!

---------

so for people the will encounter this kind of problem in the future, here is what apparently happened.

Globe (our Network Provider) sets the default APN to the postpaid instead of the prepaid one when you install new ROMS.

to think that this may be this simple. ive researched changing CSCs to flashing different basebands and roms. :)

case closed!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ijustzeke:

I have rooted and installed CWR. I have Supperuser installed also. When I try to change the gps.conf file to point to us.pool.ntp.org, I get an error saying the that /system is read only. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mandrsn1:
You need to mount /system as read/write before you can write to it.

In Root Explorer, you can click the R/W (or R/O) button at the top to enable writing.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dwilli40:
I tried that and it say the file has been saved. However when I open the file again the changes are not there.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
From my post the other day at forums.lenovo.com--

Best: ES File Explorer (with root permission and /system writeable checked in settings)

Navigate to file, click, choose text, choose ES Note Editor, edit the file as needed, choose save when prompted.

You can change permissions with ES as well.

I like that it automatically makes a *.bak file of whatever you edit and save.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dwilli40:
I have tried changing the permission using root explorer, which resulted with this error "Permissions change was not successful. Please not that some file systems(eg SD card) do not allow permission changes. " I also tried using ES File Explorer but it still will not allow me to edit or delete the file.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
@dwilli40 - Did you set root permission and /system writeable in ES settings?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dwilli40:
Yes, I did enable root permission and /system writeable in ES settings.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Koshu:
I had a similar Problem on my device, seems that the normal mount doesn't work always. In my case i got write permission with:

busybox mount -o rw,rewrite /system
[Thinkpad Tablet General] quyTam:
if you don't know how to do it manually, use a app !

fasterfix for example....

if it doesn't work, it means that you don't have root

[Thinkpad Tablet General] MrKwatz:
Any way to do this without recovery?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] quyTam:
It's absolutely no need for recovery !

But root is needed.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MrKwatz:
I was thinking it did because I couldn't get /system to stay mounted as rw under adb shell or with total commander

What should I be doing?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Janis:
GPS Monitor Premium is able to do this, too, and more. It's a little heavier, but I don't feel like I need GPS Test anymore. It's a slick little app, and the dev is very kind.
