[Motorola Droid 4] greekchampion04:
ahhh thanks! at the ends of the longer lines there were still a couple of ^s. took em out and viola! up and running.

only problem is i had to do this:

If you cant see a desktop when connecting through VNC.

1. From a terminal type "killall -TERM Xtightvnc" hit enter

2. From a terminal type vncserver

Then user 127.0.0.1:5901 (:1) instead of port 5900 (:0)

only issue now is that did not end up with my desired resolution... 1024x768 instead of the 960x540 that i need for the D4 screen.

thanks again for helping me out!
[Motorola Droid 4] zeroktal:
You can set the geometry like this.

vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 (replace 1024x768) with your desired geometry. I use higher, because then I output this on my monitor
[Motorola Droid 4] greekchampion04:
what i want to do is output it to the lapdock.. so higher res is actually my goal as well. thanks so much for all your help!

got it working perfectly through the lapdock! thanks! had to keep the res at 960x540 because it doubles the pixels when you make the phone go fullscreen on the lapdock.. oh well.
[Motorola Droid 4] zeroktal:
Really? Mines good, what vnc client did you use?
[Motorola Droid 4] prodigyweb:
will wifi/4g still work if I do this?
[Motorola Droid 4] greekchampion04:
yes, this does not have any "negative" effects... think of it as installing an app... it does not replace your OS, it runs inside of it.
[Motorola Droid 4] prodigyweb:
sounds amazing. so do i just need to root then install ubuntu as described before in this thread? Never used ubuntu, but it sure seems to be what webtop currently is.
[Motorola Droid 4] zeroktal:
Correct :)
[Motorola Droid 4] prodigyweb:
EDIT: got it working but now I am unable to use the android vnc client to get into the desktop. how do I go about that? It says authentication failed. I never set a pw though?

any idea why i get: ubuntud4.sh: 45: syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then")

i looked at the messages before and another user got the same thing, but I see busy box installed to my knowledge.
[Motorola Droid 4] greekchampion04:
go back and make exactly the changes i made to the ubuntud4.sh file

do you know how to use vi from the command line? if not, check out this handy vi cheat sheet

and the password is ubuntu, you didnt set it-- but thats the password
[Motorola Droid 4] prodigyweb:
Ok. I deleted all the extra m's. I set my pw by doing vncpasswd. Everything is running now.

Issues I have now are the resolution I had to use was my d4 screen on my lapdock...or else I have to scroll

The #1 option seems slow and laggy is that normal?

The mouse setup is all whacked.

I used android vnc. Am I doing anything wrong or is it just a young setup? Thanks for all the help!
[Motorola Droid 4] greekchampion04:
yup, the resolution thing is a webtop problem.. it scales up the D4 screen to fit the lapdock screen, so you can only do the 960x540.

not sure what you mean by #1 option?

and yes, the mouse setup is whacked
[Motorola Droid 4] prodigyweb:
ok, so i did things right. do you know if the razr development has fixed any of those issues, so I can hope for a fix later? or are we stuck?
[Motorola Droid 4] tallnerd1985:
why are you guys creating a chroot environment when you have a perfectly good distro of Ubuntu already on there with working audio and Android in window capabilities? All you guys have to do is fix the apt-get repos and such. Reach out to the Atrix community to see how to re add those functions back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jimmynidas:
I have tried installing drivers, tried checking usb-debugging, tried different ports, bought a new usb-charging set, tried other types of cables, tried changing the ask on connect to usb mass storage, tried factory reset.....Nothing works. But I can charge my phone just fine. *sigh* Any advice? haha
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
So does your phone charge? If so you know its not the port on the phone. Would think it would be drivers or usb port on computer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Are you trying to use a usb 3.0 port? In my experience they don't work at all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jimmynidas:
The phone charges fine. And the USB ports are definitely 2.0 not 3.0.

It's very frustrating. I've never had this problem before when trying to root.

Usually it's oh, I forgot to wipe the delvik cache. Not oh, my phone won't connect to my computer. haha
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Try a different computer to make sure the problem can be reproduced first.

Usb buses can have problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jimmynidas:
just tried a different computer and different cables. Both didn't work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Fuzzlet:
Try using the cable that came with your Charge. I've found mine to be very picky on what cables it will work with, but the original has always worked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jimmynidas:
I bought my charge second hand and it didn't come with a cable. I had to buy a stock oem cable for the droid charge on amazon and it doesn't work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
see if you can get into download mode and if odin will recognize it
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jimmynidas:
haha unfortunately ive tried that to. no go
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jimmynidas:
I'm assuming that I got an update pushed last night, because I woke up and my phone works. Case Closed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Are you talking about OTA update? So your phone is pure STOCK? no rooted, no mod? What version? I thought OTA was done along time ago?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jsa8807:
This happened to me before. I used the dialer code that let's you choose pda and I unchecked pda then re checked it. Im at work, maybe someone can post the thread. Good luck.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I downloaded it the other day and for awhile it played fine but around noon o started get scary warning from the game.

They basically said I was trying to mess with the game's code and if found doing so, I'd be prosecuted. Then the game closes.

I'm taking this with a gain of salt cause I know the zeonia games **** up from time to time but I was wondering if anyone else was getting this.
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
I'm not a fan of the Zenonia series, but I can tell you that there is no need to worry. They won't doing anything, so long as they can thoroughly prove that you have violated any laws so as to avoid a counter-suit, and since you haven't, you're fine. Besides, I could very well be wrong, but if you don't redistribute said modified code, then it isn't even illegal. If you've purchased a piece of software, that licence for the product covers personal use.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Yea I doubt anything would really happen to me seeing as how I have no idea how to edit the code. I just found it really odd that it wouldn't just force close with the normal fc warning.
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
T'is odd indeed. I know Zenonia, from the little time I put into the game, it tended to have some very poorly translated text. I don't know what the standards are for it now, but could it have been a mis-translation?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I doubt it...the sentence is pretty correct grammatically and flows a bit too much. If it was translated from something like Japanese or any asian language, it would be horribly butchered. But that's assuming it's from Asia.

Anyways, I uninstalled it and tried to install it again and I get an error mid-download. This game is buggy as heck.
[Motorola Droid X2] Arbybear:
Really? It works perfectly for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
Yeah I've had no problems with it.

I'm currently running ShishirROM 0.3 (includes JKay 13.6.3) + Siyha 2.6.12 and the PIN lock functionality is not working. Has anyone else experience problems with PIN lock not sticking with any ROM?

I've seen a similar issue here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22711082&postcount=129

I've tried the following but nothing has changed the behavior...

Flashed Stock, Factory Reset, Wiped Data+Cache, Format USB

Flashed ShishirROM + Siyha

RESULT = PIN lock does not stick.

Performed same steps above

Flashed JKay 13.6.4

RESULT = PIN lock does not stick.

Flashed Stock, Factory Reset, Wiped Data+Cache

Flashed ShishirROM + Entropy's Daily Driver 2/18 ( i also tried 2/7)

RESULT = PIN lock does not stick.

I'm looking for some idea or tests scenarios to try. I should also note that the pattern lock works find. Just PIN and password lock have the same behavior of not sticking.

shishir95,

I really like your ROM. It boots super quick, is really responsive, plus Jkay's work is awesome. I hope to find a solution to my PIN lock problem because it's a deal breaker for me (corporate email security requirement).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Vond:
I have this problem with EVERY Hellraised I9100 ROM I've tried, including I9100 stock ROMs.

I've just given up since nobody seems interested in this problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tikcolg:
That's what I was worried about... I'm going to have to flash back to stock or try some other ROMs for a while.

I wish my exchange security would let me use pattern lock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
I am working on finding a way to get it work, but I really don't know why pin lock isn't working on hellraised roms.

Not sure if Entropy might know something but don't want to bug him right now. :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lawrence of a Labia:
For whatever reason, JKay borks the PIN lock. I've been keeping an eye on the JKay thread since November to see if he fixes it, but it doesn't seem to be a priority. It would be awesome if anyone could get it to work because I hate using pattern lock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tikcolg:
LilChis,

I'll keep following your ROM post to see if you manage to find a solution.

Have you tried your ROM without JKay integrated?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGovi:
Go into DeluxeSettings> Set lock screen options, then check "Show when secure".

I had the same problem in another ROM but I think this should fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Jkay isn't baked in yet.

So no that wasn't it, not sure to be honest what it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jhermit:
I could not get password to stick either which is the reason I have not moved to one of those ROMs (tried several). Nice base but without PW, I cannot use it "Curse you IT department!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tikcolg:
I tried that, but same result. It's interesting because if you have PIN lock enabled on the stock ROM, anytime to try to access the settings (say to change the PIN), you are prompted to enter your current PIN.

Now when I'm running the above ROM, it will let me setup a PIN, but when I access the settings to change the PIN, it does not prompt for the current PIN. It will just let you in to change the PIN.

Based on what others have said, I don't think it's an issue with JKay. It appears to be something with the hellraise process...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sardo Numspa:
i have run both shishir rom and ICScrewD and both have the same issue of the PIN not sticking. i can still get my corporate exchange email, but no PIN.

neither of the roms are hellraised, but both do have jkays deluxe settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Wrong both are Hellraised. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sardo Numspa:
well, i take it back. both are hellraised.

edit: and now that i think about it, i feel like such a dumbass. if you flash shishir rom, it about phone it says you have the international version of the gsII. derp!

Hi, my hometown is in assam and i was there a few days before but after coming back here in kolkata when i open my maps or any other location based service it still shows my location back in assam. There were 2-3 times when it showed my actual position but now it doesn't anymore. What the he'll is wrong?
[LG Optimus Black] verszipo:
You should install a GPS testing program, for example GPS Essentials (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mictale.gpsessentials ) and see if it can correctly detect the satellites and get your position.

Also, make sure you're in the open when trying to get your position, GPS doesn't work indoors, you need "clear line of sight" to the GPS satellites (so there shouldn't be anything solid above your head, for example a building or a roof).

If GPS Essentials (or any other GPS testing app) gets your position but the position itself is wrong then i really have no idea what could be wrong.

Also, you might want to try one of the GPS Fixes from the forum, they should improve the time needed to get a fix (for me it took about 3-4 minutes without the modification, now it gets a fix in less than 30 seconds).

For GPS Fixes/improvements take a look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22798187 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11342772
[LG Optimus Black] pritrixda:
I have gps test from the market, and previously it got a perfect fix within 30 seconds from a cold start. But now the program can see 2-4 satellites max but it never gets a fix. I reseted my device twice still no help. I am really torn. I don't understand what's the problem?

I have installed:

- Gps.conf file for asia, includes 24 countries.pool.ntp.org (includes India)

- GPS fix (Qbanin)

- SuplRootCert

it works like a charm for me... lock satelites at 2 minutes in open air (avoid buildings)

or if it doesn't work for you, look for mularameez thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494862&page=2

because he's from india too, but my device cant lock sattelite with his method (Im from Indonesia)...

maybe you should try both, and see which one is the best for you

Hi. I've looked everywhere for the answer but cannot find anything relevant. I downloaded a movie through market rental. Went to google videos to watch it. But I've tried several methods and keep getting the following message:

Tried force stop, phone restart, reinstall app etc.

Any suggestions would be greately appreciated.

I remember hearing about that too. Not sure if the error message in the OP is referring to the root condition. But Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper (available on the Market or on XDA) might help. It has the option to temporarily unroot the device.

It is FREE, you can even mask your voice. You can only use it for 2 minutes per call though. ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
Originally posted this in general. then realized it belongs here. if any admins want to delete my first one in att note general, i understand. anyway...

So if you want to have an ICS theme for your note, or pretty much any android phone, follow these directions. And if you like it, hit the thanks button :D

What you will need:

Go launcher

GO Locker

GO Locker ICS Theme

GO Search Widget

Ice Cream Sandwich (Theme)

Ice Cream Sandwich Clock

ICS Search Bar 2 for GO Widget

Okay once you have all those you want to go to go launcher. when on your home screen press the menu button (Far left) click themes. then select your ice cream sandwich theme. Now press the home button. then the menu button. now preferences. then screen settings, then grid size. Select "Tight 5x4" then click the home button. now hold your finger on the home screen. click widgets, and android 4.0 clock. Then position it where you want it. Now go back to the home screen, hold your finger on the screen again, and select GOwidget. Now click search and select your ICS one. now we are almost done. go back home, click the menu button, then plugins, then go locker, and select IceCream.

That's all. If you need help just ask.:cool:

I use Go sms for my texting, and downloaded an ICS theme for that. Shown in the image below.

Here are some pictures of my Note home screen:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xmsxunbreakablex:
just thought i'd add that when you are trying to change the lock screen wallpaper from menus it doesnt show the ics ones.

to change the go locker wallpaper to one that doesnt show up:

tap menu

tap plugins

tap go locker

tap settings

you can change it to the wallpapers included with the go launcher ics theme that way, change it to others that don't show up when you try to change from display settings menu, or even set it to just be the same background you use for go launcher. :)

ICS theme

The only problem is that's not how ICS looks. (I already have this installed.) I had it on my old phone, and the widgets are a white translucent background, and a dark bar at the top similar to how Honeycomb looks, but not identical. I don't know where these themes come up with the completely wrong look.

I just switched over from an HD2 running AOSP ICS. I have yet to see a widget for email for example, that looks anything like the real ICS one.

I admit that it mostly looks like it if you leave the widgets out.

An example of what they should look like would be the modern ICS theme for Android Pro Widgets, but the bar at the top looks darker on actual ICS ones.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mg2195:
Im currently on the infuse but im gonna be upgrading using my moms upgrade ( ill just buy her a cheap flip phone since thats what she likes ) the skyrocket looks pretty attracting...similar screen, but with alot better hardware :)

so i have some questions...answer what ever questions you want, i have a basic feel from looking at specs but i want actual user refrences:

1) How smooth does the phone run?

2) how is the devolpment scene?

4) how many custom roms are there-not ports?

5) how do you like lte?

6) whats your favorite part of the phone-what do you hate the most?

7) hows battery life?

8) how much do you think the price will drop once the skyrocket hd is released?

9) would the hd be able to run the same roms with out porting? I know we wont really know until its released but just curious

10) would you recommend this phone to a friend? lol had to ask it

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to answer my questions :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
1) How smooth does the phone run? Very smooth, even on stock, but you make it crappy if you have too much going on. As with anything.

2) how is the devolpment scene? It's good considering the new chipset.

4) how many custom roms are there-not ports? Enough to feed addiction, if that's why you're asking.

5) how do you like lte? Don't have LTE in my area so can't say.

6) whats your favorite part of the phone-what do you hate the most? Best part is the screen size, worst part is the screen resolution (alternative is to increase the resolution using DPI apps.)

7) hows battery life? This isn't exactly an objective question, but I've seen ranges from 6 hours - 24 hrs.

8) how much do you think the price will drop once the skyrocket hd is released? Generally the price drops about $50 from contract price. More if it's a promotion.

9) would the hd be able to run the same roms with out porting? I know we wont really know until its released but just curious. You're right so can't say.

10) would you recommend this phone to a friend? If my friend had an infuse, no I wouldn't recommend it because of the new exynos chips that will be coming soon and the S4 chips that are coming. If my friend was impatient and rich enough then yes, I would. If my friend had a large enough hand then I would suggest trying the note first then getting the skyrocket.

Good luck with your decision.
