Use the blobtools from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21620550&postcount=24

Then mount the blob.APP image as a loopback image.

P.S. I already extracted it and posted it a few posts prior.

P.S.S In case you ever need to extract one, here are the contents of Asus' blobs:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Yes, I realize you posted it now, must have not refreshed. Also, you posted a link to one of my posts ;); I am very familiar with the blob tools that you used as well as the blobs.

The only piece that I did not understand is piece about mounting the system image as a loopback image even though the file appears to be encrypted. Would you go into more detail about this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
:) There's no encryption in a blob; just a signature on prime blobs. The blob.APP is a normal system.img. You can either extract it using unyaffs or you can mount under Linux like this:

mount -o loop blob.APP /mnt/image

Was really hoping this would help my GPS situation but unfortunately it remains the same. I can't even see a satellite since the update to ICS. I've tried a couple times putting the files in /system/etc but always the same. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ATGAdmin:
Just a wild guess here, but since you're not flashing the files....check the permissions on both files, and let me know how they're set please?

I started to do the repartition today and right off the bat (parted in not found) :confused: I found a copy of it on the internet and did a adb push to /system/bin. I did a chmod 664 on the file. Now when I try to run it I get permission denied. Whoami shows I'm root.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Give it root permission too a.k.a change owner and Chmod 777 just in case:

Commands to Change Owner to Root:

adb shell chown root /system/bin/parted

Here are the parted, sdparted, tune2fs, e2fsck taken from the stock snowball root method so you have the right files

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
Thanks Veronica

I copied files you linked and did a change owner and chmod 777 on all of them.

I was running along good until I got this error on rm 11

Error: Partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 is being used. You must unmount it before

you modify it with Parted.

Got spooked and backed out. Reboot the Nook and it's fine. Tried to run parted again and then there was no prompt to fix for the first two steps. Tried to remove 11 and got the same error ???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Partition 11 is userdata check in CWM if /data is mounted, if so unmount it from Mount&storage . Just reminding you , this must be made while in CWM not while system is running.

So I just noticed this (and it was not there this morning at around8 when I looked at updates)

Both Google Music and Google Books were updated but they also come with name changes. Google Music is now Play Music and Books is now Play Books Along with the name changes comes new Icons for them now also. Not really sure about the name change (since I just got them installed and just now starting to play with them) figured I'd let a few ppl know incase you didn't look.

Play Music is now v 4.1.513

Play Books is now 2.3.5(20305)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:
Nice find!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
The name change has to do with Google recently having a bunch of site domains registered under "Google Play". Speculation is that it's for the nexus tablet coming out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Ah interesting. So far music does seam a bit more smooth (on FB27 will test it with FC05 later today once I have it installed) But noticeably smoother scrolling of the list for sure

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
According to Engadget, it'll be called the Play Store lol and, as mentioned above, it'll come with Play Books, Play Music, and Play Movies. GPlay FTW!

Oh, and they're gonna have a "Seven Days to Play" sale, so look out for deals in the near future ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Google really needs to standardize the Games experience.

Call it "Google games" and have it associated with your Google account (G+)

One user name for all online games.

That would really help the games aspect of the market.

[General Questions and Answers] neotrin2000:
I have a question on Droid Explorer. When I try and install it, it want's the path to the SDK, more specifically, the adb.exe file. I try and point it to the "New location" for it which is "Platform-Tools" but it still says it's not a valid SDK directory.

Now I know this is an issue with Droid Explorer and I found a thread awhile back that tells us how to perform a work around, and it requires using FSUTIL to create a hard link to the adb.exe file and other files droid explorer uses, I copied and pasted it into a notepad so I could bring it back with me to afghanistan since I know internet here really sucks. I thought it was going to be straight forward and for some it might be, but I am confused. So here is a copy and paste of the directions;

------------

C:\AndroidSDK\tools\adb.exe <<===>> C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\adb.exe

C:\AndroidSDK\tools\AdbWinApi.dll <<===>> C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\AdbWinApi.dll

C:\AndroidSDK\tools\AdbWinUsbApi.dll <<===>> C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\AdbWinUsbApi.dll

C:\AndroidSDK\tools\aapt.exe <<===>> C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\aapt.exe

C:\AndroidSDK\tools\dx.bat <<===>> C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\dx.bat

C:\AndroidSDK\tools\aidl.exe <<===>> C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\aidl.exe

C:\AndroidSDK\tools\dexdump.exe <<===>> C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\dexdump.exe

C:\AndroidSDK\tools\lib\dx.jar <<===>> C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\lib\dx.jar

An example of using fsutil is:

fsutil hardlink create C:\AndroidSDK\tools\adb.exe C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\adb.exe

(must be run from a command prompt using administrator privileges)

-----------------

Now the only thing that these directions dont tell me, is the order it needs to be done...For example;

1. Install Droid Explorer

2. Create the hard links

3. Ect.....

So if someone can tell me the order in which this has to be done, that would be great. What I am wondering is do I do the FSUTIL before droid Explorer is installed? If so...do I need to be in the directory where I have my SDK installed at? You know, those types of things. Any step-by-step someone could give me, would be greatly appreciated.

[HTC Sensation] Tinderbox (UK):
I just got one yesterday, just a standard Sensation and i am going to send it back if it does not getting official ICS , while i can still return it.

I have searched, but all i can find is unofficial rom`s

GSMarean says it getting V4.0 ICS are they correct.

Thanks

John.

[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Yes, Android 4
[HTC Sensation] ipotoEJ6:
Yes, there will be an ICS update end of march.
[HTC Sensation] Tinderbox (UK):
Will it have Sense v4.0?

Thanks

John.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Not intially, no - why would HTC release Sense 4.0 when their new handsets aren't out yet?

There's talk of the Sensation NOT getting Sense 4.0 but only HTC know what's going on - they said the Desire HD wasn't going to get Sense 3.0 but look how that went!

I'm running ICS at the moment - officially from HTC - and it's better than 2.3 but still not a patch on the Galaxy Nexus IMO
[HTC Sensation] Jump1ng:
Yes eventually but will come with sense 3.6 first.
[HTC Sensation] Tinderbox (UK):
Thanks to Everybody, Another Sensational Owner :D

[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Congratz on your cool Sensation...Enjoy your new toy here on XDA :)
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Its coming by the end of March not at the end of March :) there is a huge difference you know ;)
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
The sensation most probably will get a stripped sense 4 Rom.

Sense 3.6 < Stripped 4 < Sense 4

Hi! I want to disable the sim card-scanner, i have no use of it anymore because i had the sim card reader removed because of damage to it, it just gives me an annoying notification (i'm using my g3 as a wifi phone). Is there anything to delete in root explorer or do i have to write some code? Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianthenut:
Hi, I have a old G1 that's just gathering dust.

Its been rooted and running one of the Super D ROMS. (Haven't used it since I got a Desire)

Basically I've gotten fed up trying play SNES ROMS etc on a touch screen phone and remember how much easier it was on the G1 keyboard.

As its only going to be used for running games from the SD card.

Can anyone recommended or create a minimalistic ROM for this purpose.

Also, would I need to have a Sim card in the phone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
no need for a sim card, but you may wont the ram hack (2708+) i would imagine that might be better. you would want a basic rom maybe even a cupcake (not sure why but this sounds right) find the best kernel to flash over it, check ezterry's kernel thread. then use titanium backup or something similar to take out just about everything you can that could possibly run so that it wont interfere with your gaming. truthfully a lot of newer roms may work well for you as long as you just remove a lot of things that arent need to play your games - hopefully someone will come on here and steer you a bit closer.

check out this link for an idea of what you can remove from a rom and be safe

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones

also depending on the rom maybe do one that asks to install gapps separate and dont do it...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
No, cupcake doesn't have a 2708+ kernel for it...

Well...it does sorta...but it barely works and doesn't do much IIRC

Try froyobylaszlo

you'll need the 2708+ radio and spl

Use my mod of it, Frayo, and you can customize what system apps it flashes

So just put 0 for all of them in the install.txt (you'll know what im talking about when you find the rom)

Once you have the 2708+ radio/spl just flash frayo and that's it! gapps included.

And no it's not just cuz its my mod xD...froyobylaszlo is crazy fast, and once you remove system apps its even faster, and frayo can help you not install them in the first place :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
good call and the frayo, that would make it easier

im not sure why i feel cupcake would be better, no idea why but it sounds good

if you flash the right kernel over a cupcake rom it should work with the 2708+

but probably would get more speed in frayo with bare system apps, and you can take out a few more too
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianthenut:
Cheers for the advice.

Its been a long time since I read about G1 updates so I've got some catching up to do.

Is there a walk through for this ram hack?

Last thing I did to my G1 was install Super D a long time ago.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Not really

There's a guide, but you gotta be familiar with fastboot to use it

Or you can find a topic called "upgrading to gingerbread" by gunner*numbers*

We walked him through it

You'll have to dig through the topic to find it though
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentCherryColla:
Hey! Check out my Dreamboy thread in General. I was thinking of making a rom just for that purpose :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
So.

I can only hope that posting this here doesn't somehow ruin it down the road, but everyone here has a Gmail account corresponding with their devices, and most likely WebStorage (if you use it) as well, so I've been thinking for a while that this "exploit" may be possible: AND IT IS! :D

Is everyone familiar with a feature of Gmail and Google's infinite wisdom that allows you to make any number of "fake" accounts that tie in to your actual, single account? Of course most use it to register for and subsequently filter out Spam.

However, it's Google's servers which account for this ability, and so the (and really most/all) WebStorage app will accept any dotted (and dashed? don't remember what all you can do) form of your Gmail account name as a new account. So although it will be 8GB segments you could have any number of them with organized info distributed per "account."

I believe this could most likely also be done with an OG Transformer to activate* the one year of "unlimited" storage, and you could upload massive amounts of info in a relatively short amount of time across a few "accounts" and have just about any of your stuff up. I don't have an OG so someone will need to check it out.

*EDIT:

Let me also state I only did this to begin with because ASUS or whoever manages WebStorage said they couldn't update my initial account to correspond to my ownership of the Prime. They told me to do this.

ASUS bundles of ASUS Webstorage could only be activated within new accounts. Therefore, you won't be able to expand your subscription of current existing account, but you're definitely welcome to register a new ASUS WebStorage user ID to retrieve your term of Transformer.

Please follow the steps below to access complementary ASUS WebStorage Service:
1. Logout from current ASUS WebStorage ID.
2. Register a new account from Mycloud

See this article:

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/03/0...-of-phones-to-get-ice-cream-sandwich-updates/

Looks like everybody in the DX2 community will have to wait for an AOSP ICS from somebody!

Discuss!

EDIT: Apparently it's not official according to some XDA user's opinions, but I'm pretty sure it is official. In that list they didn't only mention 4G LTE devices, they also listed the Incredible 2 and the Rhyme which are both 3G devices. And also, the DROID Charge is 4G and it's left off the list. It's an assumption but I believe the list to be complete. Motorola and Verizon have no obligation to upgrade to ICS, even if the DX2 is within the 18 month upgrade period. Their 18 month upgrade period never stated how far upgrades would go and it has been upgraded multiple times already. I honestly don't mind if everybody gets their hopes up for Motorola/Verizon to release ICS for the DX2 because it's only going to let you down. If I'm wrong, fine. That's good for everybody with a DX2! I don't know why people have to come to this thread and act like hard-asses to get their point across. I was only releasing some news.
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
well the Verizon press release states that it is a list of 4G devices that will be upgraded.

then again the dinc2 isn't 4G, right?

I think that's the phone I should have gotten instead of this X2
[Motorola Droid X2] eddieb1983:
Well, ever since I got my tablet and the ICS update on it, I haven't been doing much on my DX2 anyway. Shoot, I might just go back to a cheap flip phone.

Really liked the DX2, but I just don't understand why Motorola kicked it to the curb!
[Motorola Droid X2] Superm@π:
Yeah dude, that's just the 4g phones that are getting upgraded. Haven't said which 3g phones are getting it yet.
[Motorola Droid X2] iCurmudgeon:
Frankly I'm not surprised. I have a feeling there isn't enough RAM available in the X2 for an ICS install. My phone is always starved for RAM.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Don't want to bring any hope into this, but I'll be using something called a brain here for this. These are devices confirmed as of now to get it and on the Moto Upgrade site still lists the devices that are being evaluated to get it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Skelente:
This is really just VZW rehashing what phone manufacturers have already announced, except they are directing this specifically at their customers. Nothing here we didn't already know, really. Of course they are going to try to get it going on the 4G devices first, that is this year's breadwinner.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:

[Motorola Droid X2] Mr One 2:
**** it....
[Motorola Droid X2] Alan Wolfe:
I think its the Verizon way of saying they aren't bothering upgrading any 3G devices. They just spent Billions building a 4G network that is sitting there doing next to nothing (except crashing every now and then). They need to get folks migrated to 4G ASAP.
[Motorola Droid X2] I Am Marino:
Well they are updating the DINC2.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
this just 4g, they aren't going say anything about other phones till, the 4g phones are upgraded

there's enough ram, not a lot

if a phone can run gingerbread it can run ICS, it's just a matter time and money, to make it work
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
jumping the gun syndrome

This is a classic case of the "jumping the gun syndrome".

1. The article says:

"We will continue to update this list as additional details become available throughout the year. Also, follow @VZWNews on Twitter for additional upgrade announcements."

2. The only Moto devices on the list are those that Moto confirmed a while back. I highly doubt Motorola is doing "planning and evaluation" on a bazillion devices just to ditch each and everyone of them. :cool:

Calm down gentlemen and ladies. Let's not get our panties in a bunch! :P Finally got a chance to say that...

**IN PROGRESS!** CM9 - ICS build ROM for the DX2

All,

dragonzkiller and myself (primarily DZK) will be starting back up deving on the CM9 release for the DX2. I now have a new Linux Laptop and will be helping where I can. This is still his ROM and release, but I will update everyone with information as I can. Right now, he is finishing up his mid-terms. We shall see what Spring Break brings, but more than likely, it will be Summer Break... We still have to do a rebase of CM7 with the official CM7 code, that will likely come first. Have patience! Both he and I as stuck with this phone for at least another 14 to 16 months. So, we both want this to be the best phone we can make it. DZK is the developer, I'm just the "guinea pig". :D

Ciao!

[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Nothing here states it will NEVER come to the X2. It just states at this time, the phones listed are the ones currently getting it. Motorola is still testing ICS for the X2. Motorola will be the one that decides whether ICS will be released for the X2. Verizon isn't the one that has developers testing ICS.

Droidlife only said "Sorry X2 users" because the X2 wasn't on the current list. They didn't say it would NEVER get ICS.

I love how people read articles like this and then make it "official". :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] 754boy:
Why only 500Mhz? Isn't that a little slow??
[Motorola Droid X2] 97Pathy:
I have mine set to 1000 when I'm playing with my phone, if I'm just listening to music I set it around 600. If I'm not using it like in class I set it around 400.

How much of a battery drain difference is there between setting it at 500 versus 1000?
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I'll sponsor the coffee so you guys can pull all nighters and get this done with! I'm kidding, take your time. I'd be glad to get some Alpha "Preview" of some sort just to get my beak wet, but then again I have experienced ICS on the Transformer Prime... So its cool! :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Donlad, PLEASE rename this thread ASAP. No body confirmed that Droid X2 is not getting ICS. Please read my previous comment on this thread to know why...
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
just so you guys know, that setcpu app isn't doing ANYTHING for you, it may LOOK like it's holding your set min/Max but a minute or two later the kernel takes back over and even if you have Max Set to 500 if you open the setcpu app, five minutes later and let the screen rotate or something like that you will see it go above the "Max" you set...
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
Pretty much this.

Is this only for set CPU? Or all app that's claim to adjust CPU on x2?
