[Defy General] Proverbs2:
Did you unzip the "MS2Ginger3.0-RTM.zip" file? You have to unzip that file and put the "nandroid.md5" and "system.ext3.tar" files on your SD card in clockworkmod/backup/MS2Ginger. (The "MS2Ginger-Greenbread.zip" file should NOT be unzipped, however, and should be in the root of the SD card.)

If you did that correctly and you're still getting an MD5 mismatch error, try checking the MD5 sum yourself using an app like AFV (Android File Verifier), which is available free on the android market. (Open AFV and browse to the md5sum file, long-press it, and select “md5sum –c Type Check”.) Does AFV show a mismatch too?
[Defy General] Baker0:
ahh i didnt unzip. I dont do that with the hd2:)

Next step... Sorry I feel like a complete n00bie

All im getting now is system.img not found skipping restore of /system/.

Both files nandroid.md5" and "system.ext3.tar are in the folder....

Thank you

Don't unzip it; just put it on the root of your SD card. Then boot into custom recovery, select Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard, and install it. That will update your recovery to the latest version.

well depends in what you want, in my personal opinion i prefer the samsung galaxy s2 (right now i have the epic 4g touch and hercules but have had the amaze and the evo 3d) the HTC's have a better design and feels like being made stronger and have loots of dev but the galaxy s2 are smoother, quicker, slimmer, and have better displays

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lartomar2002:
I have set VTL Launcher as my default launcher but, recently every time I start the GTab up I get the question which launcher do I want to use as my default launcher. Any suggestions?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
Did VTL come with your rom or did you install it (from market or side load). I ask because if you installed it from the market or side loaded it, you may want to try moving the .apk to /system/app. You can use a root file manager or ADB to do this, make sure the permissions are correct (same as other apps in that folder) then reboot. Hopefully it will only ask you one more time for your default launcher. Also uninstall any other launchers you aren't using and go to settings->applications->VTL Launcher and clear defaults if any are set before you reboot.
[General Questions and Answers] Lilextreme:
I have an Asus Slider 16gb and I rooted with razorclaw when i first got it. I don't really get how roms work and never installed "Recovery installer" but I downloaded it. After root, my tablet worked the way I wanted it so I didn't mess with it.

Now I keep getting prompted to install an Asus firmware update (actually its been asking since its release a month or so ago) but I'm afraid it'll take my root away and i won't be able to root it again. I have lots of apps that depend on it being rooted so I don't wanna lose that.

I haven't ever updated the "Asus Storage app" either because I heard that the root depended on as exploit in the Asus storage prgram.

Does ANYONE know what will happen exactly if i update firmware?

I'm asking now because its beginning to use a nag screen more often, asking me to update & saying its already downloaded. Can anyone help this semi clueless girl please?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Half your luck, I haven't been able to find one of these anywhere :)

Updating with an official, manufacturer-supplied update will break root for you. If there is no known exploit in the new version, you won't be able to obtain it again.

I'd recommend Googling 'Asus slider x.x.x (version number of update) root' or something similar and seeing what you find. If there's an exploit and a method, all well and good. If there's not and you absolutely need root, I would err on the side of caution until something concrete is found.

It isn't the most popular device, so it may take some digging to find what you are looking for.

Best of luck! :)

@ first sorry to ask this in the general questions section but as a noob I'm not allowed to reply in the development section ... for what reason ever ;)

Anyways, I tried the T-P7500] CM9 KANG (ICS Preview) 02072012

and all I get are boot loops. I wiped EVERYTHING (just to avoid any questions).

Rooted and CWM 5.0.2.7. Installed the zip but the boot animations keep coming and coming :confused: ... Looks like I'm the only one experiencing this.

I waited over one hour but nothing happened. Don't tell me I just have to wait longer :D

Tried every version of the ROM, every new build. Is there any solution ?

Just wanna try some ICS. :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance :o
[General Questions and Answers] begcheera:
boot loop

often it is a question of patience! What looks like a never-ending loop at boot time after installing the new CM9 KANG is actually the loooong time required for the first boot. Just leave the machine on for about 10 minutes and come back, you will find that your p7500 has indeed booted.

Only in rare cases, it could be some other problem.

best of luck!
[General Questions and Answers] ai-inc:
Yeah thats what I tought because in the original thread there was mentioned a boot time ~10min considered to be normal ... but after one hour still booting has to be an error.

Maybe I can figure out how to pull a logcat to see whats keeping the device looping.
[General Questions and Answers] greenbay1983:
I had this happen with a rom before as well and the only way I could fix it was to go back into recovery, wipe data again, wipe cache/dalvik multiple times and then flash the rom again. I don't know if it is as simple as that for you but worth a try!
[General Questions and Answers] ai-inc:
Thanks for the advice. I wiped the Dalvik Cache 5 times and the same with the data/cache partition. Pulled a logcat from the device. It reads that

.:. UPDATE .:.

Looks like my data partition was corrupted, broken or what else. Cause when restoring with CWM an error occured with restoring the data, even if the data partition hat just been wiped or backed up empty.

So I took an old XWKG9 Samsung Stock ROM, flashed it with ODIN.

Wiped EVERYTHING (yeah accidently also the internal SD-Card, but anyways ;) )

Then flashed the CM9 KANG ICS Preview again and IT WORKED :D

[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
It will never happen. Two completely different systems. I'm coming from Android and I for one would not want to ruin this phone with putting Android on it. I find WP7 so much more modern and refreshing.

I do not miss force closes nor lag.

I'm not negative to the possibility. I'm just sure it's not possible.
[Nokia Lumia 800] darks1der:
Hi,

I don't think it will happen. Due to there not being that many developers for the lumia. I also thing most of the hardware could be used in android, Seeing as the HTC Desire S and the Sony Xperia Arc use the MSM8255 Snapdragon(but i could be wrong, I have only really started developing).

I just dont see any real advantage of running Android on the Lumia. It is already a great device. I could only see thing going downhill if you did. Your device would have alot of lag plus the lumia only has 512mb of ram. And everybody that has used android will tell you 512mb of ram is sufficiant but not enough to run smoothly or run any intense apps.
[Nokia Lumia 800] dr1337:
You could, but you'd have to ask Dark Forces Team and Cotulla to release either a port of MAGLDR or the source to it to modify the chain boot loader.
[Nokia Lumia 800] scbond:
Something I'd love to see but doubt we will ever see. I personally just got a Lumia 800 and although it's a nice phone the software lapses too much and in too many places so back to Android I go...even if it is the newer Android which is skinned over and too customised!
[Nokia Lumia 800] Chipsaru:
As I know the bootloader of lumia is very secured and will not allow modifications like dualOS booting.
[Nokia Lumia 800] whitealien:
1. You are crazy.

2. People always want what they can't get.

Technically it is possible. We have already seen examples of porting Android to older WM devices, like HTC HD2, HTC Touch Cruise, but it involves a lot of work and knowledge in system hacking.

Once you have cracked bootloader you can boot whatever you want. All you need to do is to find a device with the same chipset already running Android and port it over. Of course there will be many driver problems like non working, BT, WiFi, camera etc, but hey, what did you expect.

I bet that there is the same question in Nexus forums - How can we port WP7 to Galaxy Nexus :D

[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
Why the hell would you want freakin' Android to run on a WP like this?? You're crazy, that's clear ;)

Android only has negative sides, WP is refreshing and smooth. I don't see ANY reason why you would want Android to mess up this beatiful phone.

Okay, I'm an Android hater, that's clear, but let me point it out:

Android is a copy of iOS (it's just boring)

It lags all the way

You need a nuclear power plant to keep it running for 1 day

The user experience is not consistent on all devices (not even with the same OEM!!)

Updates? Yes, if you do it all yourself

Open? Oh, thank you for your openness Android, and the malware...

I can go on if you'd like, but I think it's clear why I don't see this as a good idea...
[Nokia Lumia 800] jbbandos:
Lol, that was one of the dumbest trollings I've seen, _Madmatt.

For me its WP which only has negative sides. Its locked, limited, the interface is counter intuitive in many places, can't multitask properly, most apps are inferior to android ones, upgrades are rolled out slowly and with the locked product codes you never know if you'll get the next one, etc.

Ah, and android is no copy of iOS, but the wp7 tiles ARE a copy of android widgets, with some functionality removed.

As for the hardware of the lumia 800, it is superior to my 2 years old N1, with a better CPU, GPU, and the same memory. And my N1 flies running MIUI, so even a crippled phone like this should even be better.

Why did I get a Lumia? I was offered it, tried to use it for some time, gave up, gave it to the wife, who is now begging for me to give her her blade back. Even the better screen and camera were insufficient to convince her to keep using the Lumia. She keeps complaining of the apps, of the terrible battery, of being unable to do anything. Even changing a ringtone is a mess, having to cut and resample a MP3 file before being able to use it as a ringtone.

So, it seems like the Lumia will end in a drawer until someone manages to port android or meego to it. Unfortunately as it was a gift I can't sell it, or it would be gone by now.
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
If you really want to get rid of it, you can always ship it my way..

[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
LOL, you think I have such things? No way mate ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
Android and WP7 are two completely different beasts. No point in comparing them it's all about personal preference.

I come from Android and WP7 suits me so much better even though I liked the freedom of Android compared to WP. I rooted and flashed roms like crazy. But I got tired of acting beta tester. So much bugs here and there on Android. Specially if running custom roms.

Sure there are more apps also with more functionality. But I prefer the metro styled WP7 apps as they most often fit the design of the OS. That can't be said about Android apps. Often ugly and no one looks the same making the user experience much worse.

The lagg was the biggest issue for me with Android though. No matter the hardware (SGSII) there is always lag because of how the Android OS is built up. Even ICS won't fix this fully with its hardware acceleration. This is a area where Google has failed. Giving a smooth user experience. Both iPhone and WP7 has this and understand its importance but Android can't unless they rebuild it from the ground which I don't think will ever happen.
