[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Optimal Carnage:
I'm totallt stock 2.3.6 EK02. I'm ready to risk rooting, but I have no idea what to do. There's 5 dozen methods, modems, kernels, basebands etc. Coming from HTC and unrevoked it's a lot to swallow with odin. So i gues i kind of need a step by step to 1st get root

2nd a back up of my stock ek02,

3rd update to el29...i think??? modems? I read the forum daily but I'm completely lost honestly. To many basebands and modems and methods of doing this. Need help want to do this today

Sfhubs automated root thread in the sticky.

Run for root, then run option c for clockwork mod, backup, then flash the ROMS of your choice. Super easy, no Odin necessary

Ok thanks for looking into the log but I got it figured out...I'm pretty sure my virus protection was blocking the write. It's all good now rooted ek02 stock now to figure out how to get to el29 from here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
Flash a ROM that comes with EL29 kernel and you're done. You can also flash the EL29 modem separately (no rom comes with a modem, they are separate) look at the wiki for all modem downloads. Good luck

Anyone have a link to button remapper apk? All the links I found sent me to Megaupload..

Hey.it took 2 seconds to type in button remapper and find the app.

Just do that.it was posted by appleflap.

Dl the keyteacker too so you know what the code is for the button you ant to remap.

However,remapping does not allow you to use the remapped button to power on.remember that.

And give thanks to appleflap too.

Google Books

Yes it does.
[Nook Touch General] guitar_east:
I've had some issues with it. Most of them can be resolved by switching to 'View Original Pages', then move forward a few pages and then reselect 'reflow text'.
[Nook Touch General] Torimu.Joji:
Always worked for me...
[Nook Touch General] Mounta1n:
Works intermittently for me

That's worked for older books for me, but not for newer books, like Fight Club. I bought that one yesterday for example, and it worked fine initially, but opening it today it just hangs on the loading screen with the rotating array of circles. This is with the newly named Google Play app.

Any other suggestion?

Thanks!

NST rooted with Minimal Touch manual root method.

Working apps:

Gmail

Market

Mantano

Google Play (sometimes, see above)

Opera Mini

Nonworking apps (for me)

QuickOffice Pro (opens but just flashes and goes back to initial screen when attempting anything)

Aldiko (stopped working after first few times, just flashes and goes to home screen)

Jorte (just flashes and goes to home screen)
[Nook Touch General] Vrekk:
It works but its pretty hard to use cause of the page switch thing IMO.

Does anyone know a way to make Google (Play) Books work with our side buttons?
[Nook Touch General] Jyveafk:
Working for new books? Hmm, I'm also getting the spinning circles. Looking at 'Manage My Books' in menu, it's showing it's got about 30% downloaded, then hung. That's for all books attempted to be downloaded.

And, aye, this is since it's Play Books (though only just started to download, not sure if it worked before then).

Even manually hitting the sync option, it flickers but no extra downloaded, and can't read 1st page, still goes to the spinning circle.

Pinned, unpinned, still can't read them.
[Nook Touch General] Mounta1n:
To clarify, when I say newer books, I mean that books like Fight Club don't have a scan of the original text included. So there aren't the "Original Pages"/"Flowing Text" choices in Menu. Flipping between those two options did work for me to view titles like "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" etc.

Looking in Manage My Books, all of the titles, classic and new, working and not, appear to be fully downloaded.
[Nook Touch General] Jyveafk:
That did it thanks! menu/original instead of flowing and it's readable. Going back to Flowing just spins. Very happy to have this working.
[Nook Touch General] awe215:
Problems...

Having serious problems reading "new" books using google books (play?)...

I just get the sinning swirly thing. There are no options to "view original pages" since it is a pure ebook...not a converted scan.

Kind of frustrated with it, since I just got moneyball for .27 and am stuck reading it on my phone! Ha ha.

Anyone figure this one out for the "new" kind of ebooks?

P.S. Tried installing an older google books .apk that I found floating around the Internets...no dice same problem.
[Nook Touch General] mybrotherischad:
I'm also seeing the same problem with Google Play Books. I cant actually read any of them. Just stuck on a page with the swirling circle in the middle.

[Nook Touch General] aparisi01:
Same issue w/ Google Play Books

Same here, if I try to open a book I get the spinning symbols. Aldiko won't start for me now after running it once successfully.

I was able to "View Original Pages" by doing the following:

1.) Press 'n" button (I have this mapped to the B&N toolbar).

2.) Press "settings" on B&N toolbar

(I remapped this in "Nook Touch Tools" to be a Menu key)

3.) Clicking the "Original pages" button in the Google Play Books menu that appears.

You can also use Button Savior to get to the menu key from within Google PB.

No solution for newer, non scanned books though.
[Nook Touch General] guitar_east:
Yeah it's kind of hopeless it seems. I've been using the tried and tested Python scripts floating around that remove the DRM and then copy that over to my NSE.

If you must download the books on the device, the process for getting other DRM'd ePubs should still work. I've done a video showing it for Kobo (before they fixed it)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rcPfJwGjfk

The process works for Google Books as well. Download Aldiko (or Overdrive, or whatever authorizes you with Adobe DRM), register, go to the Google Books store on your browser (with a Desktop agent), find your book, download the ePub, tell it to open the file in Aldiko. Should work.

Its not the Google bookstore app, and you won't get synced pages, but it's a workaround.

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I'm wondering if it's possible to grab an analog clock from Sense to use while running ADW? Alternatively, or possibly additionally, use the dock from ADW in Sense?

I figured out I can use the wallpaper I like and icons from ADW in Sense. But I really like a clock from Sense and a dock from ADW so I'm trying to combine these things. I think I'm okay with using either Sense or ADW, just trying to get my look down so I can get on with my life.

I have seen a third party analog clock that looks exactly like a Sense clock on the market, it just doesn't have the same moving parts but it would seem they got it from Sense. I have also read that the standard flip clock from Sense was used in Fancy Widgets at one point but they had to take it out due to HTC's demands.

So it seems it can be done. Anyone know how I can do it? Or how I can put an ADW dock in Sense?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Can't be done unfortunately.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Party pooper.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
One reason I am running the stock sense launcher instead of LPP+ or ADWLauncher EX (I own both) is because the awesome red beats clock only works in sense.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Unfortunately this is why they made beautiful Widgets.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I have the beats skin but I don't like that clock. This is my current clock and the one I was using previously:

Yeah, but they're not beautiful enough! I'm sure I haven't seen them all yet, is there a way to just look at them all without putting them on the home screen one at a time?

There really isn't a way to dig down in there and pull out the code/file for these clocks? :(
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
The way they're coded probably not but I'll take a look anyway. Might be able to steal the graphics and staple them on to another clock. What is the clock you were using that you liked?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Wow, that would be great! But don't waste too much time on my account.

I now like the one on the left. It's really cool when you revolve the screens since it's kind of 3d so you see the different layers of numbers. Although I think that might get lost in ADW iirc.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
What's it called/where did it come from?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
It's a Sense clock found here:

Anyone know of a Slim Case that's compatible with the docking station?

I was really interested in the MoKo Premium Quality Slim case, but I think I read a comment saying it doesn't play nice with the dock :/.

Anyone got any suggestions? I don't obviously plan on using the dock all the time, but when my class calls for notes, I'd prefer using it.

I don't like thick stuff, so something I can carry around in my hand would be nice.

Maybe it wouldn't be too much hassle to just pull it out of the case when I need to use the dock? But if there's a slim case that works amazing with the dock, that may be the better choice.

(I think you could just snap off the bottom two tabs and it'll work?)

And I want those 3 levels of standup angles.

Thanks! :)

I'm flashed and rooted etc and i got a rom. And now i wanna change to another one but i cant find a good thread on how to do it..

Do i need to restore etc like the first time so i loose all my setting,apps etc?

Or can i just download one and install it from SDcard?

Sorry for my newb question.. i really dont wanna skrew things up on my phone just change rom :P

best regards
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Download the ROM. Go to Clockwork Recovery, create a backup, then wipe data/cache and go to advanced -> dalvik cache and wipe that. Then install from .zip and find your rom :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daz.g:
I presume you've already done a nandroid backup and titanium backup for your apps ? if your changing rom you will need to wipe data/reset in cwm so it will mean restoring your apps and setting up the phone again. then just flash the new rom like you did before with cwm. The rom you choose will probably have some install instructions anyway ? If your updating an existing rom to the new version you can generally just wipe cache and dalvic which means you wont need to setup the phone and apps again.

What you going from and to out of interest ? I'm running bigxies Apex and it really is good.......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xantyfication:
i havent made a backup of my apps i think. I used the toolkit to root the phone.. dunno if it does it.. i made some kind of backup..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
This is why people shouldn't just use the Toolkit and then post up BS questions. Learn what you're actually doing and how to do things, everyone else had to
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RellikZephyr:
Little harsh, but very true.

If you don't know how to do this basic stuff, playing with custom roms and such is a bit dangerous, and quite silly imho

It's not hard, read around the forums a bit, learn what your doing, then and ONLY then, begin to play with things that can turn your phone into an expensive paper weight

[Motorola Droid 3] rezapatel:
Hello guys, I just goot this device used from someone in the US. It is locked on GSM, but rooted.

At this I am most interested in getting it unlocked and explore further which is, learning bootstrapping, changing recovery and loading custom roms.

I spoke to Verizon extensively today and was told, they wouldn't be able to give me the unlock code unless it was activated on the network. After a long conversation, the global support team suggested that if I know someone in the US on the Verizon network, what could possibly be done is activating this phone on their current contract, right away share the unlock code and move the Verizon user to their previous phone. All on one call, with a feww minutes? Do Verizon users or with similar experience share their insight, if this would work out with getting an unlock code from them?

I don't really want to go through the idea of finding someone, going through the call and finding out, the person I spoke to was mistaken about all this possible on a single call..

Any other ways to unlock the phone? I don't like the idea of paying money to a website for the unlock code and possibly the code not working, with no refunds.

I've already spent on the phone with the risk of not ever being able to unlock it.

I know, there are threads with unlocking info, but a lot of users I realized were still unable to unlock their phones.

Looking forward to expert insights, and thanks a load everyone!

Cheers.

[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Unfortuanlty that is the only way to unlock an xt862. Unless it has never been activated on verizons network. As I understand it verizon changes the sim unlock code upon first activation. Even if that is the case you will still need a code from an unlock site(or possibly your nearest cell repair store)
[Motorola Droid 3] rezapatel:
Ok. Unlock4Moto.com is where I am currently planning to purchase it from - they don't have specific verizon codes, but motorola xt862 in general.

Really really hoping, that verizon didn't change the lock code during its few months of activation.

Scared now of not having to use the device as only a PDA..

Thanks for the response.

Can others also pls share their experiences, thanks!

Sent from my HTC Vision
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Ya if its been activated previously the code from unlock4moto will probably fail. In addition if you have too many fails the phone will go into susbsidy lock(or something similar) and will need a PUK(personal unlock code) from verizon to even be functional. You could try just calling verizon repeatedly and explain your perdicament to a new agent each time until you find one that will just give you the sim unlock code. I do believe that it needs to be connected to verizons network at the time though :( there are several threads of ppl who have had this same problem. Its pretty ****ty. I might recommend selling it and getting the xt860 model. Its easier to unlock and is also global GSM.
[Motorola Droid 3] rezapatel:
That really sounds crappy :-( I do although plan to buy one and see what happens. Just hoping, I am lucky. Else, I will trt and resort to finding someone from verizon to help me with the situation.

In regards to selling it, I purchased the phone in the us with a friends address almost a month back, and received it in hand just today. Really wouldn't want to sell it yet or thar I might not even find a buyer for a locked phone in my country.

Tough situation I am in, thanks though and wish me luck!

[Motorola Droid 3] ChocolateShein:
You can bypass the Verizon setup by tapping the four corners of the setup window. At least this will make the phone useable.
[Motorola Droid 3] BenSWoodruff:
That would make the phone usable as a PDA (wifi only), but I think he mentioned that wasn't his goal. Still good info to have while waiting for unlock though.

OP, the phone definitely needs to be activated on a Verizon account temporarily so it can communicate with their system for unlock code to work. Maybe you can place an ad on craigslist offering some money or something similar. People have nothing to lose by helping you if they don't have a global phone or if they never travel outside the US. If they've already done it before, I believe they have to wait ten months before they can unlock another phone on their line. Just fyi.

Good luck!

[Motorola Droid 3] rezapatel:
Ahh here's another catch then. But I guess, someone who doesn't travel out might be willing.

Btw, just a quick question, so like the support person told me that I can get the phone activated on Verizon without the phone having to be physically in the US, can someone confirm that's possible?

Also, while at it, if someone on XDA is willing to help me with the situation, it would be awesome! I don't mind looking at the option of a monetary incentive for the assistance.

Thanks!

[Motorola Droid 3] rezapatel:
Hey thanks for the info. All of it made lots of sense. So at this point i am hoping that the OTA update didnt happen on device in its lifetime with the first owner although I am almost sure its highly unlikely.

I am currently most inclined towards unlock4moto.com for the code, hoping it works out.

Regarding flashing the OS version to the factory default version, I will try learning how to flash the roms on this device since I think the way to flash roms on motorolas are pretty different to other phones.

And thanks, really really appreciate the offer of helping me out if I don't succeed in a week.

Thanks!

P.s. first message on xda using the droid 3 (in airplane mode), wonderful phone!
[Motorola Droid 3] rezapatel:
Good news guys. The code from unlock4moto.com worked perfectly.

This makes me think that Verizon doesn't change the code on their network, because the phone was used for a couple months on their network prior to being detached from their network.

But there's another sad news too, which is, right after being unlocked I had to give it to my sister.. So I guess I will stick around to my Desire Z for another while.

Thanks everyone who helped me get my direction right and opted to help me, cheers!

Once the bootloader for the Asus Transformer Prime is unlocked, what do we plan to do with it? I know the obvious answer is "Build Custom Roms", but I want to know more of what is expected to be accomplished with this new power we will be able to control!! I heard that we may be able to fully install Ubuntu once this this is unlocked. I want this thread to be about all the details we want to change with the prime to make it better, faster, and stronger. If we get a large list of opinions on what we want out of this thing, we can help developers get an idea on how they can make this Ipad killer perfect. Please make as many creative ideas as you can because it will always help improve the prime more
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Don't mean tl rain on your parade as this is a good idea BUT a developer already created a thread just like this and its matured alot already. Very well put together also. You probably would be better posting your ideas n such in that thread. Ill try to find link.

But yes, unlocked bootloader will mean you can dual boot Ubuntu or whatever else flavor of Linux comes out. We already have Fedora also.
