[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
A gesture, in this case, one of good will, is a noun. Expecting something is a verb. Saying they are the same thing is nonsensical. Further, hoping for a gesture of good will is clearly not the same thing as expecting a gesture of good will. I hope I win the lottery, but I don't expect to. In addition, certain problems I have with the tablet manifested themselves after my return period ended (here's a thread discussing mura/clouding that appears randomly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488012).

As for returning it and getting something else, at this moment in time, there is nothing else comparable that is available. By comparable I mean a next-gen tablet running (essentially) stock Android. So I decided that the pros outweigh the cons with the Prime for me, and I decided to keep it. That doesn't mean I trust Asus moving forward. Have you seen the RMA horror stories on these boards? I've never seen anything like them. As a result, I'm afraid to have my Prime serviced. I learned my lesson with the Prime, but I won't be taking anymore risks moving forward.

I pretty much addressed what you're saying above. I will add though that your conclusion in itself seems dumb to me. Right now, the pros outweigh the cons with my Prime. That doesn't mean the cons don't exist, and it doesn't mean that their existence can have no bearing on my future purchasing decisions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
Too bad this thread was destroyed by off topic bull ****.. Anyway, looks like Asus is doing a hardware update sometime at the end of March (when "parts" come in). Hopefully it includes a new backplate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I'm betting it will NOT include a new backplate. We'll know soon enough, though: if such a thing exists, Primes will start shipping with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lolento:
I bet if the revision is hardware related, it has to be the backplate. They can't waste money on half-ass revisions. Existing defective backplates can be easily reworked and salvaged to working ones.

I'm betting the fix is the back plate change. Nothing else makes sense in terms of fixing the issue and having to wait another month to stock the part.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
You know what doesn't make sense? The fact that everybody has the same backplate yet someone can get 15 sats indoors and someone else can't even get 1 outdoors.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lolento:
Honestly, there is no way to tell what is the norm and what's the outlier on this message board. Also GPS reception is high dependent on weather and location.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
My point was that this is not a new thread. You're simply treading on ground that has been overly trodden before.

---- Doktaphex promptly leaves xda for greener pastures. ----

---- Says goodbye to people worth saying it to. ----​
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
Because I beleive it is a valid issue and everytime you see a newer Transformer Models being displayed, it has a metal back plate and a plastic window on it for better reception. The proper way for Asus to correct the Prime to its optimal performance(As it should for being a $500 device) is to reroute the antenna to the back of the tablets and replace the back plate. Anything else is kinda a waste of time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Why don't you just sell your primes and wait for the new infinity series?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Screwedupsmitty:
Doktaphex is right, this issue has been beaten to ****. You can easily search for the old threads and it will pop to the top of the list when you post a new response. We all know your frustrated, but honestly, you will never ever get a new backplate. Asucks refuses to even acknowledge that there is an issue, and a plastic strip would be admitting they had a problem to begin with. If you want to be able to recieve your wifi through multiple walls and at long distances, or have a completely functional GPS, I recommend you get a full refund from asus and wait for the new, albeit it uglier t700. Other options include Acer 700 and Huewai if you think their proprietary CPU will be supported(sp?, im about 1/3 a bottle of jameson in). You have options at this point, if your not happy with the tablet I dont understand why you wouldnt return it with ASucks being pretty giving on the full refund aspect of it. IMO if you've had as much trouble as I've had, my time is better spent on other things than waiting for asus to fix this damn tablet.

hey guys,

in creating a custom rom.. want to make an custom Bootanimation. I used a tutorial for i9001 but it won't work.. ive got feacore 1.4 OC. should support custom. replaced everything and permissions are right but it won't work.. just black screen. boot sound is working, though. Help?

Floris
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broodplank1337:
Are you using the right bin files? (attached them)

If you just install Feamod 1.4 you will also get it btw. and btw you need to remove bootsamung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg (or something like that from system/media ) and then place the bootanimation (sanim.zip) in /system/media
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlorisNL:
Still not working. Permissions are now rwxrwxr-x. do they have to be rwxr-xr-x?

edit: my desc.txt is

480 800 30

p 1 0 part1

p 0 0 part2

my folders in sanip.zip are

part 1=10001 to 10042 and part2 = 10043 to 10072.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broodplank1337:
sanim.zip must be rw-r-r (644)

and i would name the image files just 01 to 042 and 043 to 072 (don't know if it's needed)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlorisNL:
my sanim.zip is rw-r--r--

no that's definitely not required.. maybe my png is to big? i think it was like 65kb @each picture
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broodplank1337:
Hmm if it still doesnt work just install feacore phoenix 1.4 and then place sanim.zip. It must work
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crybert:
You have the bootanimation binary installed in system/bin/ ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlorisNL:
how do you mean? I have put the Bootanimation file in system/bin yeah. and also Samsung ani :o

[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
I'm just curious if anybody knows a good beginners guide to building/Modding roms for the thunderbolt/Evo3D. Any input would be greatly appreciated ty
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
If you look in themes app section kinda gives you a layout of what can be done. Also tools u need . Also check in dev section for threads on stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Yeah i kinda figured that, I'm at work so i don't have a lot of time to sift through everything. Ty for your advice though!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] landous:
I updated my tf101 on Friday, no issues there other than having to update some apps (I'm looking at you, flash)... So far, the tablet *feels* more responsive, but some of it I know is the novelty of it all. I wasn't suffering at all when using the previous version because I used Dolphin HD pretty much exclusively, with little to no type lag. However, ever since ICS took hold, I'm having issues with Dolphin. What happens is that the browser will freeze occasionally when I tap a link that shows in the address bar when I type some characters. It happens on search suggestions or on actual historical links. It does not happen on every tap and when it happens the OS gives me the option of force closing the non-responsive Dolphin. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Dolphin but it just happened again. Anyone else seeing this or figured out how to fix this? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
No problems at all with Dolphion HD or any Browser for that matter.

Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache again. Even if you already did it before flashing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pops106:
Yea same problem, Dolphin was awesome before and for me the only choice. Now I find chrome for browsing is best and the default bowser for flash / iplayer type browsing.

I cant even full screen top gear in Dolphin any more but works great in the default browser even better than dolphin on honeycomb.

seems like a new learning experience all over again
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sbdags:
Dolphin 7.4.0 beta is out which fixes the hangs in ICS. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] just lou:
Dolphin just isn't optimized for ICS. It's been my browser of choice for a long time, but have been using others now until Dolphin gets updated.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] landous:
Trying the 7.4.0 beta version... Thanks for the heads up sbdags.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theumad:
Well we'll have to wait for an official update for the new ICS. In the mean time, 7.4 beta seems like a good option, although its still in beta.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] just lou:
7.4 release just appeared in the Market. but it says nothing about ICS in the "What's New".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] landous:
I just updated from 7.4 beta to the 7.4 on the marked and started browsing. Within 10 minutes it hung again on a historical link... crap...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bobcatuk:
I had the same problem with Dolphin, I ended up installing Boat Browser, use it all the time now, and it's a good alternative.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donny_79:
I got same problem especially with swiftkeyboard but after uninstall nd use Asus keyboard then everything back to normal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:
For me, Dolphin freezes when I select a suggested search term or url. As soon as I touch it, it freezes. Quite annoying. So instead I have to manually type in the full search term or url. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BrothaJINC:
Everything seems to be a POS after ics on my Tf........ Nothing works..... Nice update asus
[Eee Pad Transformer General] landous:
I'm still experiencing the sporadic hangs even after updating Dolphin HD to 7.6.0 and ICS on the Transformer to 4.0.3. Anybody else experiencing these failures? Searching online brings no solutions.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madmanv:
please try ver.8.1.0:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vintage76:
I have had the same issues with maxthon 1.5 Pad though seems to be working well now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulbir101:
is there any developer that is willing to port ICS or CM9 to the LG Ally? i would much appreciate it, this phone is becoming dead and i want it to keep it alive. the AndroidForums site are doing there best to keep development, i think someone should make a Ally thread :) Thanks for any support or Developers that want to develop. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Thats a pretty old phone and I highly doubt you'll ever see an ICS port. Even if you did it would run pretty poorly on those specs (600mhz processor and 256MB of RAM). You may be able to find CM7 for your phone which would actually be usable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulbir101:
yeah its around 2 years old. but im running Velocity 1.2.2 on Froyo and its hella fast, even tho im only OC'D @ 787 pretty snappy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
A Froyo ROM would be snappier on a lower end phone, GB would manage, ICS would run like crap.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulbir101:
theres a GB CM7 Port, its not that bad tho lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weblexa:
You mind posting a link to a CM7 port?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdelosMeansUnknown:
You need at least 512mb of RAM for a workable ICS port.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulbir101:
Yes i am aware that
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Then why did you make the thread?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulbir101:
lol. i wasn't aware of that when i posted this .. 1-2 months back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm3210:
There are actually lot of roms running ICS with much less than 512MB of ram and Cyanogen has been quoted to say that you need 256MB, not 512. My Fascinate, which has 384MB of useable ram and is running the newest version of AOKP, runs better than my brother's stock Galaxy Nexus which of course has 1GB. It's just not as simple as saying it doesn't have enough ram.

The problem with the Ally is that it does not have a gpu good enough for any sort of hardware acceleration.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobmacek:
PSA: you are all wrong

The Lg vortex shares the same processor as the ally and the optimus v, both phones run cm9 perfectly smooth, my sister is getting a ally within the next week, i will work on an ics port
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nx Biotic:
false it will boot

Project Gretel

Project Gretel is the best CM7 port you will find. CM7.2 for LG Ally is slow and camera does not work. I am actully working on a Gretel with camera flash and GApps. It will be more stock-like. :) http://www.mediafire.com/download/2f1938w86ubllmb/Viewpoint-Technologies-Gingerbread-for-LG-Ally-RC1.zip

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nx Biotic:
Wow...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcunningham:
It's dead

If I don't make one, nobody will. There are like 5 people in the world with this phone. Even Android 4.0 ICS is old. Get the LG Enact if you need a keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samsuck:
This is NOT for being able to send emoji! You need an app or keyboard that supports that. This is so you can see Emojis in places you usually can't (stock SMS app, your twitter timeline )

Download this http://db.tt/9CwK9x2H

Extract folder using root explorer, go to extracted folder , select all files inside of it and copy to system/fonts. (Make sure to mount r/w and select replace on the fonts it asks you too)

Reboot your phone and now you can see emoji throughout your phone (obviously you can use it in a texting app but this allows you to see emojis in your stock messaging app, twitter, etc)

It is to note that the emojis only show up in black and white. Sorry (unless you're in an app that is designed to display emoji like gosms, hand cent, whatsapp, pansi. Those apps will display them in color as you are already used to)

Oh and its compatible with ios5 emoji's ! Enjoy !

Disclaimer:I tried this on AOKP b25/26 cdma, and a few other ROMS (Liquid ICS) and on an HTC Incredible running cm7. It shouldn't affect anything and should work on all android phones but remember I'm not responsible for anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
Odd this didnt do anything for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samsuck:
Did you try seeing an Emoji? Lilke I said earlier, this is not for sending Emoji, nor does it magically add the ability to get Emoji on your keyboard. Go download GO SMS, the Emoji Plug in, and send yourself a message with Emoji.

you should even be able to see it in your notification bar, and if you go back to the stock messaging app, you'll see it in there instead of those empty boxes people see on their Twitter timelines.

It's been confirmed to work by multiple people over at Rootzwiki, and all of my devices that are rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jae04cc:
is this device specific or will it work on my sgs2 e4gt?

and is it only for ics?..im still running gb

EDIT: i am an idiot..just reread the post and you clearly stated that it will work on all android devices..sorry for my stupidity

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

i can confirm that it works on the samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch running rooted stock, and it also works on the nook tablet 8gb running ribbon root...thanks a bunch!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thablackphoenix:
This works perfectly on my HTC Inspire 4G running IceColdSandwich 8.0. thanks!

cannot delete through root browser

trying to do this just now...

i have rooted my Droid xt910 that is still on android 2.3.6

i have downloaded the DroidSansFallback.ttf and copied it to my phone (it doesnt have an SD card).

I tried using root browser. there is no option though of mount r/w. when i delete the original DroidSansFallback.ttf at system/fonts, what appears is "failed to delete DroidSansFallback.ttf"

when using ES file explorer, shady file manager, and solid explorer, i could not go to the main system folder.

all these explorers were downloaded for free.

how do i delete the original DroidSansFallback.ttf? Thank you for this last step help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jae04cc:
just rename it..like DroidSansFallback.bak

Have there been any efforts towards adding color? I'd like to get this working in color and have begun doing research into it. I have all of the emoji faces in color, I just don't know how to make the font point to the .png emoji.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bazingax2:
ka bump. Color? Will this work on my lucid probably?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redsox985:
I, too, am still interested in making this work, but have been overwhelmed with starting college. I will work on this now assuming that someone helps me with making the text file point to the specified .png color images. If we can get support for b/w .png's, why not color? I just don't know where to begin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacking16:
Not enough disk space

when i try to paste this file into system/fonts i get a message saying that there is not enough disk space. i have a galaxy s2. anyone know what the problem is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexandroid5:
you dont have enough internal memory for the font
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] radieon:
The B/W icons are not .png's but actual text blocks rendered by Android from the DroidSansFallback.ttf file.

Fonts are rendered in B/W. Apple found a way to transpose their fonts and render color emojis instead of B/W. The same will have to happen with Android, somehow... You said you have all of the emojis in color?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trp30:
when i try to paste it says tht the folder is read only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] puncha1580:
As OP states, Mount system as R/W

I flashed CM9 on my tablet (the one in the developer section) and have since moved back to ICS. However, after moving back to ICS (restoring backup), my wifi doesn't work. If I go to WiFi in settings it says "Turning wi-fi on..." and never does turn on. I've tried clearing out the cache/dalvik cache and using superwipe to get rid of it, but it still didn't do anything? Has anyone else run into this situation or have suggestions for possible fixes?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Same happened to me after trying out CM9 and going back to stock ROM via nandroid restore. All the symptoms was just like yours. Did all the same thing like wipe cache, dalvik cache ect.

Finally I just flashed the ICS rooted ROM I was using again without wipe and it worked again. No lost of data since I didn't wipe.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsinclair25:
I have had a similar issue. Every now and then (particularly at home with my wireless) I am able to see the connection but not connect to it. I have tried turning wifi off and on, rebooting the tablet, the only thing that works is unplugging the router and plugging it in. It has only happened since ICS and once I plug the router in it connects......

I will give this a shot when I get back home. Thanks for the reply.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsinclair25:

[Other TouchPad Development] TurboTronix:
I have the latest CM9 installed on my Touchpad and now I want to move some .mkv files onto it but they are over 4GB in size. How can I add an ext3 partition if I don't have any installed?
[Other TouchPad Development] z3no:
You can use the instructions described in this bash script if you have some linux knowledge and if you can handle a terminal in webOS or novaterm.

Otherwise there are some helpful commands in this thread.

Best, z3no

edit: some lines which may help (no guarantee for that but I think it should work):

pkill -SIGUSR1 cryptofs

umount /media/internal

PARTITION=4096 <-- HERE YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT PARTITION SIZE YOU WANT TO HAVE

CURRENTSIZE=$(lvm.static lvdisplay -c store/media | awk -F: '{print $7/2048}')

NEWSIZE=$(($CURRENTSIZE - $PARTITION))

resizefat /dev/store/media ${NEWSIZE}M

lvresize -L -${PARTITION}M /dev/store/media

lvcreate -L ${PARTITION}M -n ext3 store

mkfs.ext3 /dev/store/ext3
[Other TouchPad Development] TurboTronix:
Thanks,

is this line in bytes??

PARTITION=4096 <-- HERE YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT PARTITION SIZE YOU WANT TO HAVE
[Other TouchPad Development] z3no:
no, the line should be in mb (in the following lines after each variable the "M" indicates that the number is in mb).

In fact, this line only defines a variable which is needed later in the script.
[Other TouchPad Development] TurboTronix:
OK makes more sense :)
[Other TouchPad Development] HansTWN:
And what is the easiest way to delete an extf3 partition? I created one for Linux, but now I have all the functionality I want, with Android ICS and WebOS, and would like to recover the space for data use.

By the way, I have a 64 GB TouchPad. That should make a difference when reassigning.

---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

deleted below
[Other TouchPad Development] z3no:
Just do: (additional information starts with #)

pkill -SIGUSR1 cryptofs

umount /dev/mapper/store-media

# if the umount does not work, restart the device and try again, DO NOT CONTINUE IF IT DOES NOT WORK!!!

# in the next line, ext3fs should be replaced with the correct name of the partition you want to remove, e.g. store/ubuntu-root

PARTITION=$(lvm.static lvdisplay -c store/ext3fs | awk -F: '{print $7/2048}')

CURRENTSIZE=$(lvm.static lvdisplay -c store/media | awk -F: '{print $7/2048}')

NEWSIZE=$(($CURRENTSIZE + $PARTITION))

# in the next line, ext3fs should be replaced with the correct name of the partition you want to remove, e.g. /dev/mapper/store-ubuntu--root (yes this line is correct, use two "-" if your partition has a "-")

lvremove /dev/mapper/store-ext3fs

lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/store-media

resizefat /dev/mapper/store-media ${NEWSIZE}M

works for every kind of TP (I have a 64 TP myself)

edit: added information to delete partitions which are not named "ext3fs" ;)
