[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Sometimes Providers only list what they choose to support but these lists are bogus. I have the Rogers Glide and I can tell you I have used video conferencing on many different apps from Skype to Tango and I think once with Fring (Someone called me and I answered, I think it was fring had it open in the background). They work great and depending on your reception can look rather good to really choppy. As for battery life depends on what you have installed that is eating up battery life in the background. Unfortunately I do not know if I believe that android uses the apps in an efficient manner as most people say. I just say if there is an app that you have not used in 1 week uninstall it. Android remembers your settings when you reinstall it. THis way it will not use any power for sure. Just use a backup program like Astro file manager to backup your APK's on your external SD card and reinstall the app when you wish to use it. Installs take only seconds!!

[Motorola Photon 4G] macemurfy:
I bought a photon last week thats on Ntelos Frawg. so theres that... it works great, but its also rooted. i didnt do it, and dont know anything about rooting. ive been trying to look into it but its just not my thing. dont get it. sorry for being so nooby, but i didnt ask for it lol. anyway, how can i see whats already been done to it, and how can i know what could b done to it? the guy who sold it to me can do stuff to it. but i gotta know what i want him to do. please! any help will be appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Theres a free app in the market called "root checker" or something along those lines, its an easy way to check if you have root. You can tell if the bootloader is unlocked by looking at the top left corner of your screen when it is first booting, if it says "unlocked" then your bootloader is unlocked. It will show it while at the Moto dual core screen. I'd personally read up on rooting, unlocking, and all that goodstuff so you know what you have/can do. But basically root allows you to install apps that unleash androids true potential that you cant use without having root access, like free wifi tether, etc. Unlocking your bootloader allows you to install a new recovery(ClockworkMod usually) which then allows you to flash new ROMS and Kernels. I wont go into much depth there but it basically allows you to customize your phone how YOU want it to be, via Roms, Kernels, Themes, and all that. Currently with our Photon though you will lose Sprint 4g(Wimax) by unlocking the bootloader so if its important to you than you may not want to unlock the bootloader. Theres plenty of threads on XDA and other sites too that have loads on info on CWM, ROMS, Root, and everything. QBKing77 has a bunch of SUPER great Youtube videos for us Photon owners(and other phones) so be sure to look for those! If you have any more questions or anything feel free to PM me or post on the forums!

and make sure not to pay him for all these "awesome services". the tools are all here for free. i dont charge anyone for teh one click, theres no reason for anyone to charge others for it
[Motorola Photon 4G] macemurfy:
@shabby i actually have your kernel and im totally satisfied, the only thing i really want right now is the slide to wake feature. Does it support it? And if not, im having a hard time finding one that does without losing stuff i do need. I guess it might only be for the evo right now?

Well i think anyway lol.

[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Cant speak for him, but im pretty sure whoever made the slide to wake feature hasnt released the source code yet, and without that the devs cant really do much but wait. Here is a link to the thread where people were discussing it for the Photon, im sure if/when we get it that this thread will be updated or a comment posted.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintinchimiloupete:
Hi,

i am trying to get me HyperDroid Rom, for my gt-p1000

first step is to backup my Rom and apps..

I am using "roto backup"

From my laptop (w7) running a cmd and using adb;

The process is stuck here for over an hour now (the tab screen is freezing too)

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bm112 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096"

should i wait more?

can i unplug it then start the backup process from that last command?

(the home screen of the tab is freezing for 45 min, can't open anything)

never mind, i jsut had to unplug and restart again from that last step

now i have this little probelm:

E:\andro\platform-tools\backup>adb shell su -c "tar -czvf /sdcard/data.tar.gz /
data"
tar: invalid option -- z
BusyBox v1.19.3-Stericson (2011-12-20 21:07:32 CST) multi-call binary.

Usage: tar -[cxtZhmvO] [-X FILE] [-T FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE]...

Create, extract, or list files from a tar file

Operation:
c Create
x Extract
t List
f Name of TARFILE ('-' for stdin/out)
C Change to DIR before operation
v Verbose
Z (De)compress using compress
O Extract to stdout
h Follow symlinks
m Don't restore mtime
exclude File to exclude
X File with names to exclude

EDIT 2: never mind again, jsut had to use: Z instead of z to compress
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trouby95:
Do you want to backup you rom?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintinchimiloupete:
yes, i think i have done that with roto backup, do i need titanum too? it's a new device so i don't have too much private sutff or apps to care about
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintinchimiloupete:
my tab comes with Froyo, Do i need this bootloaders patch before flashing?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
In mine, it told me I don't need to patch.

So you might be lucky too.

But even when it says you need to patch, it is very safe.

Remember it is for froyo only.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintinchimiloupete:
it told me i don't need to patch too ;)

i think i m ready to flash now.. do i have to do it with cmw? cause i didn't finish it's installation, couldn't find the right version for my tab: there is at&t, tm..)

can i use odin instead?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintinchimiloupete:
where is that spare parts application located?

Freaking Awesome ROM, i can make calls now and use video call on skype THANK YOU SO MUCH

one tiny little thing: when booting and when opening some apps, the screen truns into ugly colours then back to normal, only for half a sec... did i do something wrong?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notsointeresting:
Standard Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for your device ,marriage, or social life, so don't come crying to me when something happens to one or all of them. You assume all responsibility and risk.

THIS APP IS BETA:

This is a simple app I made for the A100 semi- based off the popular HideBar app by Pieter Pareit. What this app does is allow you to use the capacitive Home Button on the device (A100) to toggle the Notification Bar on/off.

HOW TO SET UP​

Download the two files in the folder

Take the "gpio-keys.kl" file and move it to "/system/usr/keylayout" (make sure to make a backup of the old one before pasting)

Make sure permissions are set to RWXRWXRWX or at LEAST RW-R--R--

Now Install the downloaded APK like normal.

FILES CAN BE FOUND HERE

HOW TO USE​

The gpio-keys file basically changes the home button to act as a search button (which this beta app uses) so to use the toggle, just LONG PRESS the search button and select the toggle. The first time it will ask for root permissions. I do recommend setting it as the default app. There is no app icon.

TO DO: This app is in beta, so I need you guys to let me know any bugs you find! Besides that I plan to bypass the need to use a search button.

THANKS TOO: dima_tr for, Pieter Pareit for his HideBar App , sanixk for his tutorial on how to remap hardware keys , crossix for his continued development on this device ,aznmode for letting us all know about HideBar originally , and Acer for a great tablet
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notsointeresting:
Just in case
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
What I get no thanks for initially posting the hidebar app? lol. Jk I dont think I was the first one to. Anyway, thanks for this. Will try it out when I get home!

You actually were the first to post about it xD (at least that I saw) so definitely added your name.

Let me know how it works for you :)

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] joeyjojojjjjjj:
I can't seem to get this working on my A10. I put the gpio-keys.kl file where it belongs. I installed the apk. Permissions are correct. I may be wrong but seems that the gpio-keys.kl from the download is identical to the one in my "/system/usr/keylayout"

this is the one I downloaded

key 136 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

key 139 MENU WAKE

key 102 HOME

key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED

key 116 POWER WAKE

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE_DROPPED

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED

this one is my backup copy from "/system/usr/keylayout"

key 136 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

key 139 MENU WAKE

key 102 HOME

key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED

key 116 POWER WAKE

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE_DROPPED

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED

am i missing something?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] simoneser:
You have to change

key 102 HOME

to

key 102 SEARCH

:)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notsointeresting:
Yes that is correct I thought I changed it to make it easier I apologize ill fix that.

Thanks simoneser

EDIT:I reuploaded the gpio-keys.kl file. Should work fine now, I apologize.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] joeyjojojjjjjj:
got it working

I like it so far. I'm going to check it out for a while. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
Good job! it works great. There is a typo in gpio-keys.kl though, an `s` is the first char.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notsointeresting:
Thanks for letting me know, I reuploaded a fixed version. =)

Hopefully in the next couple weeks ill have a version that doesn't need an extra gpio-keys file and just uses the home button, but that looks like it takes looking into the binding and not just android.intents so with a busy life don't hold me on the time frame :p
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
Thanks allot for making the app. Any known issues we should watch out for or things we should avoid doing with it enabled etc?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] muskamj:
I did find an issue with using this. I was watching a video in Netflix with my taskbar hidden and the home button worked as a search button only. The long press would not work. I had no way to exit the program without restarting my tab. Any way to fix this? I'm sure there are other apps that would have this issue as well.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notsointeresting:
Well the only issue is that at the moment this does call for the search button so any app that doesn't have a need for it won't be able to launch the app.

As for the problem above (cant multiqoute on tapatalk) that's a weird issue , but it seems like it goes along with what I said above and their is no workaround until I make the app use the home button as a "home button"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eliwu26:
Hey guys I just thought that maybe we Skyrocket owners could petition Gameloft to make their games compatible for our device.

Basically, I bought MC3, MC2, NOVA 2, Rainbow Six, and none will work with a device I thought was going to bring gaming to a whole new level.

Emails to gameloft just result in generic "We do not have compatibility yet. We might later" messages.

Anybody?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
No.

SGH-i727
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ymcmbforever:
Or u can just flash a tmobile gs2 rom then it works or edit build prop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ThinkinBig:
I have all of the games you listed running perfectly, just edit your build.prop to show as the HTC Desire Hd. after you edit it, reboot and all your purchased apps will show in the market, download and install them, download the additional data and then you can edit your build.prop back to how it was originally, reboot and the games will continue to work after this reboot even though they'll no longer show in the market
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
While I agree that a petition to them could be a waste of time seeing how we can circumvent the issue, I agree that they should really consider our device as capable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Vman7765:
I sent them an email and they told me that maybe in the future, but people all over their forums want the games to work.

Can you post instructions how to do this? I really love their games.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eliwu26:
Problems is, the games don't work after you change the build.prop back.

For example, MC2 and MC3.

I bought both, changed build.prop, was happy, then realized battery, gps, and reboot/shutdown were all borked by the build.prop. Changed it back, they no longer work.

That's the reason I wanted a petition, but seems like its a waste of time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PJcastaldo:
Yeah Maybe use Chainfire and one of the plugins?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
Gameloft games work now on the Skyrocket. Well, at least Asphalt 6 and Backstab. I'm sure others too.

I'd like to think it was my email and campaigning that did it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr0m30:
Is there a definitive partition layout for the I777?

Here is what I have found/guessed based on the threads I've found in the forum:

Close, somewhere off in the weeds? Anyone have anything better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
There's a PIT dump somewhere in Development - or you can use Heimdall's dump-pit. You're pretty close, and you're correct about p5 and p6 - p5 is kernel, p6 is recovery (which doesn't actually do anything on nearly all Samsungs, including ours - recovery is in the kernel initramfs.)

p2 and p3 are bootloader stuff - touch them and your phone dies. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr0m30:
Thanks, I'll look at the PIT file, maybe I should look at the Heimdall source to see what it does with the PIT.

Not messing with the boot loaders is why I'm interested, I'm not a One-Click'er because I want to know what is going on when I change my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I believe everything else you have is correct, other than that unidentified 512M partition is listed as "hidden" - I think it somehow allows the uninstallable AT&T bloatware to be reinstalled after a wipe, as it contains the uninstallable AT&T bloat apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr0m30:
Yep, kind of had to be by default. I was thinking that it probably contained the stock /data partition contents and possibly /sdcard as well but hadn't looked onto it yet.

on the ATT bloatware, I still have a gray icon for that POS featured apps:(

Thanks for taking the time to help!

Edit: mounted p12 on the phone, it's a ext4 fs with a single directory (app) that contains the AT&T bloatware. Guessing the e3 recovery copies from here after a format.
[HTC Desire S] rameshnaidu_adapa:
My number of text messages is growing and the longer conversations have slowed down the time it takes to load the message.

before this for my old Sony Ericsson i had a PC suite which showed every text message and allowed me to delete multiple or individual texts. Is there a PC suite that would allow me to do this on my HTC Desire S ?
[HTC Desire S] itachi1706:
Firstly you should post this on the Desire S forum not the Desire. To answer your question I believe that you can only mass delete conversation threads and not individual text. (To the best of my knowledge. Its been a while since I've used Sense) However you could try and see if HTC Sync has this option.

[Droid X General] ec91199:
Hey all. I have a Droid X that has been running with Launcher Pro Plus for the past few months.

I rooted my phone the other day and everything was going fine. I downloaded Titanium Backup, ShootMe, and then Metamorph.

I've been checking out droidpirate.com and downloaded a few different notification bar color schemes, which were working fine. Today I downloaded another and decided I wanted to change it, so I switched to a new one through Metamorph, applied it, and rebooted my phone. Upon restart it was still the same color as before, so I applied again and before I could restart it gave me an error message that the status/notification bar (not sure which it said at the time) had crashed.

I restarted it, and ever since then I've had no notification bar. I've tried reapplying the color schemes in Metamorph and restarting after, but nothing has changed.

I've gone to the Launcher Pro settings and toggled on and off the "hide notification bar" setting which hasn't changed anything. I've restored my backup in Titanium Backup and it is still the same. I'm not sure what else to do at this point.

What do you all suggest? It really sucks to not see my battery meter, time, etc. when I open my phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
I don't know if this is best practice, but I would just re-sbf / reinstall rom.
[Droid X General] ec91199:
Does that mean flashing the Droid X rom? I am new to all of this, so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. And what guide would you recommend for going about doing this? Thanks!
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
Download RSD Lite and flash an SBF. There's a sticky telling you how to do this :-) I'll subscribe to this thread in case you have any questions.
[Droid X General] ec91199:
Great, thanks for the info! I'll give this a try tomorrow.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Wait!

Before you do that...

(Which is good advice, and would be my second choice...but you'll be without all of your applications and settings. This will put you on complete stock!)

http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/4.5.602/

Download the file that this theme was changing.

(system/framework/framework-res.apk I think?)

Download "Root Explorer" from the market...or a free alternative if you can get one to work.

I think "ES file explorer" works, but I've never tried it.

Check the "permissions" on the file you'll be replacing...and change the new file to have the same permissions (prior to moving, just to be safe).

Move and replace the new file into place.

If your phone didn't reboot during that process...

Double check the permissions again...

And reboot.
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
:-) I knew it was only a matter of time, and that's a good resolve. Thanks for the alternative!
[Droid X General] ec91199:
I'm not seeing that file on the website you mentioned. If I ctrl+f framework, all I see is a GoogleServicesFramework.apk file. Would it perhaps be the StatusWidget.apk from that list that I am looking for?
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
Status widget doesn't sound right, but I have never had to recover my notifications bar before.:-)
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/topic/8240-official-gingerbread-update-45602-rooted-and-ready-or-stock/

Sorry man, at work...and can't check...but this should have it.

Or if you've purchased Rom Toolbox or Rom Manager...they have some .zips you can download via your phone and extract with your PC.
[Droid X General] ec91199:
Ahh this is all confusing me. I can't find the framework-res.apk on that site either. Would it work to just hard reset my phone then download an app restore app? Then re-root it and restore everything to how it used to be with Titanium?
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
The framework-res.apk was an attempt to fix your phone without wiping your apps and all that fun stuff. A hard reset wouldn't fix the problem because the file, in theory, is still corrupted or not working. I would sbf your phone. It looks creepy but it's just resetting back to stock.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11118819&postcount=2

Go down to

SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?

If the files are offline because of the SOPAA thing, let me know.
[Droid X General] ec91199:
Alright, looks like that's what I'm gonna try. Thanks to both of you for all the help, it is greatly appreciated :). Before I go through with it I was just wondering, if I backup all my apps to my SD card with "App Backup and Restore" then reinstall the app after the backup, I'm guessing it should be able to reinstall my apps from the SD afterwards? (I wouldn't use Titanium to restore because I'm assuming that would restore my phone with the flawed system data I have now)
[Droid X General] FluffyMittens:
The apps themselves wont be flawed. The phone runs off a whole bunch of apk's. Just the apk that controls the notification bar was messed up. You should be fine with backing up your apps regardless of method. Use what program you're comfortable with.
