[Motorola Droid 4] christophocles:
Thanks for the detailed answer... I'm still trying to determine what exactly I will be losing by switching to Verizon (besides unlimited data :mad:)

Couple more questions about kernels -- aren't custom kernels necessary for overclocking? Or is there a way to hack the in-memory kernel to allow setcpu to increase the clock speed faster than stock? Also, what is the nature of the moto-lock? Does it just prevent flashing over a certain area of ROM that holds the bootloader, or does it go further than that (like encrypted memory or something)? I thought I heard that devs have found a way to make other Moto-locked devices like the Droid 2 boot the stock kernel from ROM and then load a new custom kernel from the SD card into RAM using kexec.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Oh man, now you are going to expose how little I really know about how all this works! I DO know that you do not need a custom kernel to overclock. There were overclock options on my Droid 2 and I have seen you can use mattlgroff's utility to overclock the Droid 4 already. I am not sure HOW it is done, just that it CAN be done.

Other than that I am not real sure what is involved in getting around the bootloader issue. I think it has something to do with 2nd init? I have heard the term thrown around but honestly could not explain exactly what that does. I assume it is what allows dev's to bypass the locked bootloader which I think is what a bootstrap does.

Probably didn't help too much. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge of the process can give a better explanation. And correct what is probably a horribly inaccurate explanation of bootstrap/2nd init.
[Motorola Droid 4] christophocles:
Well, thanks for the attempt to explain, anyway.. I am glad to hear I should at least be able to overclock. And I suppose somebody should be able to come up with a TUN module for OpenVPN support and CIFS module for mounting Samba shares.. So I'll be missing Voodoo Sound/Voodoo Color and... I dunno, that's probably about it? How about tethering, is there a way to tether undetected on a locked Droid phone with Verizon?

NOW the big question is -- Do I really want to sign a 2 year contract with Verizon and commit to 2GB/month data caps with overage fees? That just feels dirty.. What's the point of even having ridiculously fast download speeds if I will hit the cap in the first two days of the month? Does Verizon even offer any plans with more than 2GB/month?
[Motorola Droid 4] tnt118:
I have no idea how long it's running for, but right now Verizon is offering to double the cap for anyone you signs a two-year contract:

http://shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=Double Data

That makes the idea of a cap a little more bearable.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
If you root your Droid 4 you can tether using an app, bypassing Verizon's BS. I believe there is another thread here devoted to that topic. As far as data goes I know right now Verizon is offering 4GB for the price of 2GB. I was grandfathered in with unlimited but honestly, I don't think I have ever used more than 1GB myself. I would think 4GB would be more than enough for most people. I don't tether that often either though. I am pretty sure Verizon offers other data packages with higher caps but I don't know what the prices are on those. Something ungodly I am sure.
[Motorola Droid 4] Hashcode:
Theres no source drop yet by Motorola for the D4's kernel. Once there is, I'll be building the TUN/CIFS modules and getting them in the ICS CM9/AOKP builds.
[Motorola Droid 4] christophocles:
If I can hit 1GB on Sprint's ridiculously crappy 3G network (without any tethering), then I am SURE that I can EASILY hit 4GB on Verizon 4G. It seems like they post falsely high numbers in the speedtest.net app, but the Verizon LTE in my area (really small really crappy little town) hits 30mbit down/5mbit up. That's faster than my Roadrunner "XTREME" landline, lol. So it's still tempting, cap or no cap..
[Motorola Droid 4] greekchampion04:
i have been tossing around the idea of dropping my home internet and paying for the tether package from verizon as my main connection
[Motorola Droid 4] dohturdima:
OP, thank you for starting this thread. As another Sprint customer with OG Epic 4g, I am also out of contract and thinking of jumping over to VZW. Tired of Sprint's crappy reception, data etc. etc. I've never gone over 3GB with Sprint anyway, so doubt it will happen with VZW.

It would be nice if someone sticked the step-by-step "how to root Droid 4" for those of us who are not used to locked bootloaders.

r me... know will have trouble moving from Sammy's SAMOLED to something much less great.
[Motorola Droid 4] greekchampion04:
welcome to the dark side :D

the D4 is actually really really easy to root! bookmark this thread for later use

steps

1) install moto drivers on your computer (link provided in thread)

2) turn on debugging on your phone (settings --> applications --> development --> check USB debugging)

3) fire up the utility and follow on screen instructions

4) you have root!
[Motorola Droid 4] XSYLUS:
iptables

As far as I remember the Droid 2 Global has a locked bootloader but I have a custom rom on mine and it has iptables. There is hope for the Droid 4 just have to give it time. Don't need iptables if you're on the $55 android plan.
[Motorola Droid 4] siggmatic:
Don't know if you got an answer to this, it's been a while but overclocking is easy. There is a kernel module you can install that creates /dev/overclock that can then be written with new clock data.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jez2cool:
Hey Guys,

I am going to get start on making a Rom for this thing and just would like to know if any could help with test of the rom or Kernel development. But mainly Testing.

You must have a good understanding on flashing and use of the device..

Please no "NOOBs" no offense but at this staging i'm not look to tell someone every single thing to do but I dont mind helping you understand what you don't know.

If you would like to help me get this out to everyone send me an email at Jez2cool@acsyndicate.net or pm me.

Thanks for every that responded to my request.. I Have some testers now and well have something out soon hopefully if all goes well..

Thank you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
ACS Prime...... sweet

Ill test when needed..... Love your work:D........ E4GT user here
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jez2cool:
Thanks man just waiting on the official build of ICS to update that leak is horrible I barely get 5 hours out of my battery

and send an email because ill forget to check here
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anti09:
I still use SyndicateRom Frozen on my Epic 4G. Best ROM I've ever used, can't wait to see what you guys come up with for the Prime!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
I would test depending on what exactly the rom is gonna be. If it is just themed/tweaked a bit i'll have to pass. If it is actual development i would JUMP at the chance to help you out! I have owned over 20 android devices so experience is not a problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ultraman666:
Im in I have beta tested on the original Transformer and several other android phones, would love to help as I dont know how to program and would like to give back to the community!!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] josue85:
I'm in for testing, I have a flashing addiction, and am always looking for the latest and greatest.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jez2cool:
not sure what you mean but if your taking about an AOSP then no... just tweaks and mods.. i dont have to set up at work for that
[Acer Iconia A500] _Dylan_:
Just curious as to what can be run under Ubuntu running on an A500. Can it run eclipse (and the android SDK)? gcc? Or does that all need to be ported and compiled specifically for mobile device CPUs?

Hello,

Today i changed the display of my HTC Desire. After i finish the new display work but when i touch the touchscreen the volume starts going down, every time i touch the touchscreen te -VOL button and TrackPad button are activate,

Sorry for bad english, is hard to explain this problem lol :p

can someone tell me how to fix this problem?

Fix by defenestration.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chupig:
I just tried to click the update manually in the setting.

Wow, it immediately downloaded the ICS, after about 10 mins update, now my tf101 becomes ICS.

The update message showed that there are 84 apps will be updated.

Hope you all will get ICS soon.

I go to try any significant update now.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtc42:
Are you serious? How rude are you? You cannot seriously think that's fair!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neidlinger:
IT has nothing to do with whinny or impatient. It has everything to do with there has already been 9.2 million post on this very subject this morning. IT's getting old, very quick,

Either post the updated image to a remote server prior to doing the update or GTFO.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thebadfrog:
Thanks so much for not reading the sticky thread and adding more clutter to the forum
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtc42:
Don't listen to posts like this. They really do reflect the worst of this forum, so rude.

Enjoy the update but please read the stickies. Theres a thread for this stuff already :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] graffixnyc:
god damn it.. seriously.. all of you people saying you got the update need to just STFU and instead of posting pointless "I got the update" posts, help us pull the god damn update so everyone can have it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] malikadnanm:
Wow...some people get so emotional over little stuff. Get a life. He's just sharing that he got the update. Why reply just to bash him? You guys need to gtfo, not him.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtc42:
People really badly want this update (lack of much else exciting going on?) and apparently them not having it is the fault of everybody who has updated and not posted the file.

Part of me wishes they'd never announced this update. People have become so aggressive and rude over it. It's like, a bit of code can make some people throw all basic social skills out the window. Its pathetic.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foobaz123:
Not sure I'd say they were so emotional. However, the Nth thread saying "I got the update!! How awesome!!"

Followed by: "No, I didn't grab the update files and post them so others can enjoy as well"

Is just about worthless, wouldn't you say?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtc42:
I think the point of this thread was that the TW update had reached HK. The news was that it is spreading slowly I guess.

But even so, theres a difference between saying "Theres already a thread for this, please post there" and the kind of gross rudeness and general social retardedness that gets posted on these threads.

People wouldnt DREAM of talking to someone like that in real life, but because you can't see them, it's easier to be horrible to them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] malikadnanm:
Yeah, but replying rudely makes no sense. If you don't like the thread then just don't reply.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] graffixnyc:
people want the update badly yes, but we are getting agressive and rude because we dont need everyone who got the update to post a thread saying they got it, it's POINTLESS what good is it doing anyone? If you got the update good, we are happy for you.. but it doesnt warrant starting a new thread every time someone gets the damn update

Any dual boot would be cool, standard ICS on one boot, custom rom on a second boot, imagine that..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzakilla:
It works on TF101

Here is a link for an article I picked up while researching the same thing, looks like it works pretty well aside from a few things on the docking station not working properly. I'm waiting until someone gets it smoothed out a little more before I dual boot mine.

N00b, I can't post links :( damn...

if you google "dual boot linux on transformer prime" and look for the result from streamzero that's the one I was going to post.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keroma:
There are 2 pieces little spot under screen recently and they are located around center of the screen.

I am not sure if it is dust or dead pixel. It is not totally black but it is kind of grey color and it looks like between screen and LED. One is darker than another. They are not close together. The shape of the spots are not really a pixel square. It is hard to take a photo as it is small.

It was prefect before. And i just found it recently.

Anybody have the same experience?

I would like to change a new one if i cannot fix it myself
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] percavman:
Yeah, I have a speck of dust on my screen as well. I can tell that it is dust because it moves slightly when I change viewing angles. I am not bothering with getting it fixed because other than that issue, my tablet works great and I don't want to risk something worse showing up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] regalpimpin:
I've got one small speck by my recent apps button on screen. I'm using a skinomi skin and sometimes it looks like its between that and the screen and other times it looks like its between the glass and the screen.

Noticed it the first week and havent seen it getting any worse or more collecting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dmbatson:
I also have this. 2 doors of dust or whatever slightly under the very center of screen and in the middle.

I also notice my metal near my port keeps bending in.

I keep debating if I should take it apart and clean it.

Bugs me seeing these two specs.

Doubt Asus would do anything to help us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] padunand:
I have also the same probelm but only one for the moment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
I also have dust but I am afraid that if I RMA that I will get something worse.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keroma:
It sounds like i am not alone. I am not able to move it...but i would like the way to proof if it is not dead pixel

Any method to clean it or move it to the side? It is kind of bother me everytime when i was reading something on white background.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xxbeanxx:
I have a grey spot about the size of a pixel or two, but I don't think it is a pixel because the edges are not crisp. If it were a pixel I would think it would have well defined edges. I have a dead pixel on my HDTV and it is quite easy to see the edges of that.

It's so small that it doesn't bother me in the least..well apart from knowing my screen isn't perfect.

Also I see no parallax when tilting my screen so if it is dust, it's sitting on the LCD and not the gorilla glass.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] abcorp:
I also have that "pixels" in the center of the screen. I see that I am not the only... That's weird. I think it's dead pixel. But I'm not sure... What guys think?

I tested some applications that can wake locked pixels with no success.

Could it be only dust?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pepejovi:
Hey!

I've been looking at ways to make my phone a little bit faster as well as more aesthetically pleasing, and i ran into the Aurora ICS 4.03 - thread.

However, i have next to no knowledge of smartphones and android, and i am completely baffled by the instructions, and i can't seem to be able to find a noob-friendly guide to installing the ROM.

Can you fine gentlemen help a beginner along?

The thread had links to two different guides, one of which made no sense to me plus it was a guide to convert from Cyanogenmod to the Aurora ICS, thus useless to me, while the other referenced a rooting tool that had no working download link and the one torrent i found for it, the program didn't work at all.

TL;DR; Need help, have no android mod experience.

Model n. U8800

Android v. 2.2.1

Baseband v. 129005(Whatever this is)

Kernel v. 2.6.32.9-perf
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
Simply install the latest 2.3 update from Huawei then follow the steps on opening message of the Aurora ICS topic.

So you have to:

- download and install the 2.3 official update

- root the 2.3, for instance with GingerBreak

- install CWM recovery, e.g. [RECOVERY][04.01.2012][U8800] ClockworkMod [v5.5.0.4]

- go to CWM and do a factory reset

- still on CWM flash the ics-aurora zip

and you're done.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pepejovi:
Thanks, i just updated to 2.3.5, but z4root started freezing and crashing. I'll try out gingerbreak.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
SuperOneClick do the job ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pepejovi:
Didn't work, it wouldn't find my phone for some reason.

Also, Gingerbreak doesn't work either. Ran it thrice already, each time for at least 20 minutes, no go.

I've been at this for at least 4 hours already, constant problems.. About to throw in the towel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
try doomlord method. worked for me. make sure your computer is able to run adb platform.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pepejovi:
...What? Never done this before mate, you're going to have to explain that a little more..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Driftie:
Do you have you USB drives installed correctly? When i rooted my phone i had no issues with SuperOneClick. Also, are you using USB debbuging? I think mine only worked when i turned that on.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pepejovi:
Looks like i was using SuperOneClick 2.3.2 version, downloaded the 2.3.3.0 version and it's rooting right now just fine.

At least i think it is.

It's at Step #7 of Shell rooting device... Not responding. Should that happen?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
I will give you a step-by-step guide.

-First turn off Fastboot, under Settings->Applications->Fastboot

-Check Unknown Sources

-Go to Development-> check usb debugging and allow mock locations.

now go to your home screen and open the dial and enter this code:

*#*#2846579#*#*

->ProjectMenu - >background... -> Log dump -> Log on.

Restart your phone and voila, you're ready to root via SuperOneClick.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pepejovi:
Thanks, the guide i was following did not mention turning off fastboot.

Works now, +Thanks.

Okay I have applications on my tablet that i got through alternative ways, and the market shows i payed for them but i didn't so i cannot update them. I want to pay so i can get updates but the problem is i cant get the market to allow me to pay for them because its linked to my google account. Is there a way around it so i can pay for it? I tried using titanium backup to destroy the market link but that's a no go, still shows i payed it so i cant buy to update. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and i will hit your thanks button.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gibeon:
Try and backup the app + data, uninstall, reboot, purchase and restore just the data.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kmulliger:
Have you tried uninstalling the app(s) using Titanium Backup (keep the backup, just hit the uninstall button) ,then go to the market, re-install and purchase the app? Even though the market says purchased, when you go to update, you will never be able to without actually purchasing through the market because the market keeps track of what you purchase by association of your gmail. Tempting as it may be, NEVER get paid apps outside of the market for at least 2 important reasons : 1. SUPPORT DEVS! These apps take time and expertise and a number of other things, I'm sure you don't work for free, right? 2. Malware can be added to apps and you won't even know it, even if you use the latest/best antivirus/malware protection available! At least in the market you have a degree of protection against such bad things because a Dev does not want bad reviews and Google's Bouncer checks apps before they are allowed to be listed to minimize the chance of mailicious software. Sorry, really tried hard not to preach, just some friendly advice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] silentheero:
I have had this issue before too, and all my apps are from legal sources. OP may have done nothing wrong, because Amazon app store, getjar, and others show up this way in the Market. In TiBu, you can long press a problem app and select unattach to market and it will not show up. But if you want updates and to keep your data, the best way is what Gibeon said.
