[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjalandpirate:
Can anyone help me obtain an sbf? Im looking for the OEM original sbf that shipped with the UK orange atrix.

There does seem to be a bit of an sbf shortage recently luckily i had the OLYM 2.1.1 french internntional one.

Ideally ilike to put my phone back to absoloute stock then apply updates to get to gingerbread.

Which leads me to another question, is there an OTA GB for orange atrix? And if not is there a stock unbranded 2.2 froyo sbf i can flash that will then allow me to updateota?

Your help is much anticipated.

this is a very beautiful rom, but the background is so stupid, make every think hard to read. can some body tell me the location to change this background. thanks.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Are you kidding?? Go to gallery, choose picture, set as > wallpaper.

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
@eyahl... maybe he's asking to change the background for the app drawer, and not the wallpaper...? If you look at the attached pic carefully, you'll realize its not the homescreen, but the app drawer, which has probably been modified in whatever garish looking ROM that is... :confused:

Although the other possibility is that the app drawer is completely transparent, in which case your suggestion is perfect . But i doubt that, because you can't see any other homescreen elements through the background, which would have been visible if the app drawer had been transparent (clock, other widgets, etc), so i think my hunch above is correct. (Also, I can't believe that the OP managed to flash an entire custom ROM without having the slightest idea regarding changing the wallpaper...wouldn't that be something!! :p:p:p)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Well, I've seen a lot things here I couldn't believe.. :)

But I think you are right.

Anyways, changing the app drawers background is not that easy if it's not featured by the ROM.

@op

what the hell is that ROM you're using??

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
It's some Chinese ROM, most probably from the GoApk forum.

yes, i'm asking is the background of the Application panel, here is the link of the rom, it is a chinese rom , but with multi language.

You could use another launcher. Also try alt app draw (search the forum)
[HTC Desire S] XKanoX:
yeah you should stick with well known roms where you can get support, but there is a problem that needs to be solved so try pressing menu from within the app drawer to see if anything pops up , or it could be somewhere in the settings, it has to exist somewhere, if not consider another launcher

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amebiasis:
I didn't see this in the forums before but I was wondering if it is possible to tether a wifi hotspot on the nexus through it's wifi. I ask this because I travel 3 weeks at a time with my company and can't use Netflix, live, etc on my xbox. They have wifi and ethernet there but both have the stupid welcome page and you have to agree to terms to use the internet.the xbox doesn't have a browser that allows me to accept the webpage and I'm in North Dakota with work and I'm in constant roaming the entire time so no 3g natively of my phone to tether. So that brings me back to my question is there anyway to use the wifi they have open a browser window on my phone accept the welcome and then tether to my console?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big irn:
I wonder if you can accept the TOS, jot down the IP address then quickly disconnect and force your Xbox to the same IP address given in advanced networking? Also you can tether with a laptop for sure, not sure with the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshhayes801:
Guarantee you could use your phones browser connected to the wifi to accept the terms of service. I've done it several times with things like that.

Can anybody enlighten me or point me to a thread as to why the second core only works when I have setcpu installed on my resound?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Second core only comes on when it's needed, and Gingerbread really wasn't designed with more than 1 core in mind. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1461875 Search is your best friend.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Be happy it does, I spent 3 days trying to figure out why my 2nd core wasnt coming online. I finally found a post about it on xda.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Even then, when it's needed, and using ICS it doesn't turn on unless you're using SetCPU.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
If you want to enable it manually do this from either "adb shell" or from the console on your phone:

Here's the full command string:

su

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

I know benchmarks don't really mean that much but with my second core enabled and both OC'd to 1.7 GHz while on Newt's Senseless ICS, my scores destroy the GNex and anything I was getting before!

Antutu: 6,929

Quadrant: 3,594
[HTC Rezound] nbhnohome:
How is the battery life after 2nd core is activated ?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
I dont see a difference, as each core shares responsibility. So instead of one core being at 1.7ghz each core an be at 850mhz. Although sometimes the one core will max out without intiating the 2nd core.

[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Pretty crappy, but then again I have it at 75% brightness and the performance gov set to 1.7 GHz and 192 MHz with the screen off. My phone was fully charged at 1 PM, and it's currently at 45% using the standard battery. I only ran a few benchmarks with antutu and quadrant and a few other less intensive things. Looking at the battery info 78% of my battery usage is from the screen.
[HTC Rezound] Rudy_Ruettiger:
Try the AnthraX kernal in the development section. I believe its clocked at 1.51 to force the second core to turn on.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

I have it up and running, so far so good.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I just tried it and it will boot up for me but the touchscreen won't work. I'm using Newt's Senseless.
[HTC Rezound] nrage23:
System Tuner Pro will allow you to force both cores online. Also it overclocks and undervolts aswell.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It currently only works with GB roms. Ignore me if Newt's Senseless is one, I thought it was ICS.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
It is an ICS ROM :D I saw some people had it working with ineffibilis so I decided to give it a shot for the hell of it to see if it would work.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
You dont need to force the 2nd core on, it will kick on. If you arent using setcpu that could be an issue. Antutu doesnt work. Also use cpu usage monitor and you can see both cores work.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Just a note i read on one of the kernels they stopped forcing the second core on because it caused issues. In the end i truly believe it would be unwise to do so. Let the cpu do its thing. Im on bamf 1.02 and my second core kicks on when it needs to.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
so it's wise to use setcpu over antutu? I'll have to try again since I usually get freezing using setcpu with all kernels. no oc nor uv. might just be a bad combo between undeclock and current governor

I just tried enabling both cores with system tuner pro and it worked but evening started going a little jerky. I disabled it again and everything was fine again.

Yeah forcing 2nd core online is a bad idea. Using setcpu, oc max 1.7 min 192. No profiles no uv. Using cpu usage monitor to view cpu usage.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
Just want to say that all the replacement Wacom pens i've purchased for my Asus EP121 tablet (12.1" Windows 7 Tablet with Capacative/Wacom input like the Note) work just fine on the note :) And much more comfortable to use than the S-Pen (haven't tried with the holder)

The three i've tested are the stock pen that comes with EP121, the Axiotron Studio, and the Axiotron Digitizer. Picked them up from here: http://www.nationwidesurplus.com/casearch.aspx?SearchTerm=wacom+pen with a 10% discount or so from a coupon code a few months back.

This is going to make it even harder not to carry my tablet with the note since I can tether the tablet to it.. :(

I think any "Wacom Penenabled" pen will work with the device. I've noticed that so far that the eraser works, but the 2nd button does not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edounn:
do you know if the pressure sensitivity is more accurate with the wacom pens? The s-pen (at least mine) has almost no travel, seems like off and on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] farmercyst:
I didn't even think to try this out. My pen from a HP tx2500 works too! The eraser, pressure sensitivity, and the button works. its a lot easier to use too. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I didn't even think about this possibility. I have a similar HP laptop with the touch and pen. Forget which model exactly, I have a new laptop now. However, if the pen works with the note when I get it, I'm going to constantly carry it with me unless I'm wearing basketball shorts or sweatpants, as the pen that came with my laptop is a great size and has some weight to it. Thanks for reminding me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
i noticed last week that the wacom stylus for my Fujitsu T4220 works on the Note. i agree with OP, sounds like all wacom stylus' will work with the Note.

and yes, pressure sensitivity is noticed on the Note by this wacom stylus from my Fujitsu...so they probably all do that.

I think you are right

I own an HP Tx2500 and i pulled the pen out of it last night for fun... it also has a clicking button, much like the note...i was able to take a screenshot and pull up the S memo, just like i was using the S Pen. pretty neat
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Anybody considering buying a high quality wacom pen? I think if I end up using the S Pen enough that I could see myself buying this:

https://www.wacom.com/en/Store/Pages/Product.aspx?product=KP1302&crumb={A8DA06FA-349A-4FF4-A998-DF0429E676DF}

It's damn expensive, but if I could find a deal somewhere I would definitely drop some cash on one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] arter_2:
Yeah that pen wont work you have to use a pen that works with a Wacom pennable display. These are specific pens that are designed for integrated tablet options. Try looking at IBM pens fore the x61 and above machines. they are all over Ebay and cheap about 15 - 20 dollars a pen. I'm sitting here in a room full of Intuos 3 and 4 pens and none of them actually work on my note, they are not compatible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
I Just tried a friends Cintiq pen, and it did not work on my note. Also tried the pen that came with my first generation 5" wacom tablet it also did not work; did try a pen off a random HP pen tablet in the office and that does work. Not sure what the differences in pen technology are, but obviously there are some.

-Josh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GinjiVitis:
There is a difference in many generations of Wacom pen tech. In my tests all of the Penabled styluses have worked very well. so it seems a good rule of thumb here when considering a higher quality stylus is if its a stylus designed for a Wacom branded product. Or a stylus for a 3rd party product that happens to use Wacom Technology. no first party products have worked in my tests and all 3rd party ones have. Currently I am using the stylus from the Samsung 7 series tablet. Eraser works, button works , a noticeable increase in pressure accuracy and above all else its better shielded to prevent the auto-pressing bug many are facing with the S-pen. I'd be shocked if Samsung doesn't try to market a "S-pen pro" device in the near future.

I purchased my 7 series tablet pen from amazon for about 30 bucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jay_jay_n:
REALLY the slate's pen works?? I carry my slate pen everywere in my pocket ready to use on my slate, but i went to a best buy and decided to try my stylus on the note that i saw on display it didn't work =\ , I really hope it really does work because this will be great. But i do have the developers version of the slate, doubt that should make a difference. My note comes in a few days..cross my fingers!

Also for others interested the great thing about the Samsung Slate Stylus is that it has a penclip so i easily clip it to the inside of my pocket and not worry about it falling out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avwuff:
Wacom "Penabled" pens work, which you'll usually find with tablet PCs. Confirmed with the pen from my Thinkpad X60.

Wacom's regular line of pens, such as from the Bamboo, or the Intuos, do not work.

Note that even the eraser on my Thinkpad pen worked in the Memo app! Very cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cmunho:
As a cheaper alternative to the Samsung digitizer pen (for the slate). There is a company called Nationwide Surplus that sells white Axiotron digitizer pens for about $18 with free shipping. It's basically the same thing as the Samsung.

White stylus

They also sell a 3 pack of these for $50.

They sell an Axiotron Studio pen as well which includes a grip. I used to have one of these and they are very nice and comfortable, but might be overkill for the note.

I just ordered a 3-pack of the white stylus to have some stock. They come with extra nib units too. Great deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vivilxw:
I purchased this one a few days ago on their site, the price was $14.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChicoKiri:
I would've loved to have gone for one of those Axiotron pens, but I'm particular about my gadgets being black.

I went and opted for this Toshiba pen. At $35 shipped, it was the cheapest black pen I could find. Those Samsung pens started at $40ish shipped, and I like how it looked thinner and more pencil-like than the Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cmunho:
Cool. Also, if you are in need of another at some point you can search around for a Fujitsu branded one. These pens are all basically the same. And there are deals to be had. No real reason to pay more than $20 for one of these.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChicoKiri:
Ouch. I wish Fujitsu had come up while I was searching through the other pens. I would've loved to save another $15. I only wish the sellers were more detailed about each pen's sensitivity. I'm still unsure about the Toshiba's, and I've no idea on these Fujitsu. The only ones specified were the 512 levels on the Samsung and Axiotron.

Wacom Questions

What Wacom pen has 2 buttons + eraser where the eraser & 1st buton work with the note? On a Wacom tablet, what gestures can be used?

I've purchased a few of the pens in this thread and so far I like the thinkpad pen the best because of its size, eraser, & it has a clip that almost works to hang on / grip my shirt pocket (haven't received any of the Samsung branded pens yet).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChicoKiri:
I got that Toshiba in. It's got the one side button and eraser.

My first reaction was it felt too light, making it seem like a really cheap device. Dropped it once and the button came off, but it snapped back into place. After using it for a while, I'm used to the light weight now.

The eraser requires an obscene amount of pressure to work. I worry about using it on the display.

simple mobile can be used on the sidekick. i personally am on tmobile, but have looked extensively at simple mobiles website. they have detailed instructions on how to set up android devices to run on simple mobile. as far as unlocking, do a search. there is a thread on this website about unlocking the sidekick. keep in mind that simple mobile does not allow tethering (connecting phone to pc to use as modem), so if you plan on tethering, simple mobile may not be for you. they may turn your data off if they catch you doing it, as it is a violation of their terms and conditions. but other than that, simple mobile sounds like a good idea. i chose not to switch because i dont want to break my contract with tmobile and also dont want to change phone numbers again. in the last three years, i have had 11 different numbers.
