[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vcolassi:
I throw iron all the time wearing basketball shorts aka Gym shorts or sweatpants using my note. I will time to time use my old ipod touch that has a cracked screen being i can toss it around without worry.

But i can easily use my Note without problem in my shorts while working out. I also am a goalie for a mens ice league and have it in my pocket while i dress.

As far as carrying it around normally. Its cold by me currently so i always am wearing one of my bubble zip up vests with a zip pocket i put it in.

I also have a bad habbit of actually holding my phone in my hand wherever i go like to the store etc, etc. So i have a bad habbit of putting it down and not grabbing it and walking away :eek:. Luckily i have my GF with me most of the time to "Re-trace" my steps or ask "Do you have your phone" lol. But ive put it in my Nike swishy pants before without a problem.

Some/most people mostly those who don't actually have the phone or have even held one make it out to be like its a foot long and 3"s thick lol. Out of 5 people that i have let hold the phone. Normal sized people not Giants lol. The first words out of their mouth are either wow is so nice or wow is so light and thin.

Its even getting to the point with me the phone is starting to look normal sized!!! :) 5.8" screen on the Galaxy Note 2? HAaha. there is a tiny bit of room to expand the screen and not the actual device itself it seems. Like for example a good 1/4" or so if they got rid of that ugly ugly AT&T stamp on the top!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cgibsong002:
Awesome man, that's great info.

A question on the physical glass for the screen.. how is it? I'm not a fan of screen protectors. My focus had what I think they called gorilla glass. It's two years old and theres maybe one minuscule mark on it. Will the note hold up like that or will it need a protector with long term use (long term s pen use as well)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netsyd:
According to everything I've read - it has gorilla glass. But it's not nearly as good for being anti-scratch as say an iPhone 4s from what I've seen. I've had mine less than a week and have tiny scratches all over the screen. I had my iPhone 4 for a year and had barely anything noticeable.

I set it down (face down - stupid I know) on my desk at work once. Scratched the heck out of it. It's a smooth desk surface so I'm not sure WTF happened. Other than that just into an otherwise empty pocket.

So either I have one with a faulty display - or a screen protector should be considered a pre-purchase item.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cgibsong002:
Ok. I'll just get one and have them put it on in store. think the main reason i hate them is i always F them up.

SGP GLAS-T

Get an SGP GLAS-T screen protector they work better than anything out there. I had a SGP oliophobic film and after a week it was all scratched up from the S-pen I went an complained and they returned my money and told me about pre-order for Glas-t and it is the best screen protector ever. It is crystal clear, hard surface ( so s-pen works well with no scratching), I get alot less face oil and finger prints than other protectors (don't know why but stays cleaner) and it self installed just made sure screen was clean and droped it on by accident and it came out with no bubbles it is th most expensive protector I got but well worth it.http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...0PTkDw&usg=AFQjCNEQuEHZN7W18XKdkXZchjZgmdngXg :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netsyd:
Just an FYI on the SGP GLAS-t -- they sell them through their Ebay store with free shipping. They also sell through Amazon - so if you have Prime you get free shipping there too. It was over $40 to buy through their site - $35 from Ebay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netsyd:
Got mine in yesterday. I was definitely a little pessimistic about how good a glass protector would be not to mention very concerned about the one chance to get it right install. Happy to say that the install was super simple (I have a couple tiny bubbles but nothing worth crying about) and so far it's excellent for writing on the screen.

We'll see how it lasts over time - but my initial impressions are very good!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Assassyn:
Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and I apologize in advance if this has been asked before but, I have an HTC Inspire 4G but have a custom rom flashed and it shows my phone model as a Desire HD. Would I actually need setcpu, or would I be fine without it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 777ace:
Maybe best to ask at the Inspire or DHD sections, however, I can't see why SetCPU would be a bad thing.

SetCPU enables you to run custom clock speeds, so you can overclock or underclock as you see fit. Also, you can set parameters, so as your battery drains, different speeds are employed.

In all honesty, it is probably not something that you need perse, but if you want to have a bit of fun, I don't see why not. Just be careful if you decide to overclock...if you push too hard and your kernel doesn't support OC, you could have real dramas.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
You will really have dramas. If your kernel doesn't support overclocking, you will not be able to overclock... no matter how hard you push.

orlandoxpolice Hi! glad to see that someone is coordinating the development of roms for the i957. I'm from Russia and i'm using i957 here. It's nice and beautiful, but it doesn't contain my native language here.

I try to deodex stock rom but my knowledge isn't so good to complite deodexing.

Can you provide links for deodexed cwm rom? I want to start translating it to Russian language.

ps i'm ready to donate 25$ for developers who will work on i957!!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Scarchunk:
Orlando, are you using the above updater script exactly as you've posted? If so, you're not deleting out the old /system.

In the original updater script you pm'd me the other night you had a format system command listed as the first line of the script. It immediately errored out on that line. I assume that's why you removed it. I flashed my rom with the exact script above and it did boot, but I was left with a mess of my old /system and the new /system that I was attempting to flash.

I imagine thats why you're seeing the odd behavior.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] neubauej:
Just to be clear, the Telus & Bell firmwares are okay to flash on the i957 correct?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Argh, must of missed a line in the copy paste. Sorry about that. I'll fix it tonight.

EDIT: Fixed the updater script paste in OP
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Yes I believe multiple people have flashed each on the att version. You will have some differences though.

Edit: I was thinking, do you think the lag could be a permissions issue?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] efrommel:
I will donate if devs start cooking some Ics ROMS or better HC roms for the LTE connectivity. :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Scarchunk:
What update binary are you using? I've tried a couple different ones and they don't like the syntax that you're using on that format command.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] kenmitch:
Some roms to choose from would be nice. Hoping somebody starts whipping some up. Even something stock based tweaked/debloated/rooted would be a good start. ICS would be cool :)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Please read the entire thread before posting. We have roms made but when flashing through cwm they become laggy and we don't know why.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] a.chursin:
i read all tread before ask my question. Now pls look yourself two posts earlier.

i want to use i957 with my native language. I will translate rom to russian language for i957 users from Russia. But first i need deodexed rom. I try but i cant deodex it by myself. If somebody provide deodexed stock rom i can start translation work now. And when some devs relized first working rom i will need only change original .apk files with already translated. And my localized rom will be just on time. :)

that's why i'm asking about stock deodexed rom even if it don't working for now.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Jomeister15 has it. Don't know if he uploaded it anywhere yet.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
So I am thinking that the lag problem lies in either some conflict with the device having a double mounted internal sd card....or a problem when deodexing the framework or system.

maybe check out these links?

There is, sorry I haven't been able to upload the rom lately guys, I've been busy traveling around and haven't really had time to sit down and take a good look at it. On top of that, I just had a breakthrough with the skyrocket ics I'm working on the other day, but I promise I'll get back to this as soon as I can.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jomeister15:
Thanks! I have a question to ask you though... I remember you saying somewhere (probably in a skyrocket thread) that the i957 was very similar in regards to the i727. Do you know how similar? Just the same processor, or is it more like the relationship between the t989 and the i727?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] testulous:
Just re-read the beginning post -- orlando, have you guys tried making an Odin-flashable package to see if it's directly related to CWM?

I'm willing to alpha test. Or if somebody knows a tutorial to create Odin/Heimdall packages from CWM zips I'll get to work on it.

I'd also imgopt all the png resources after seeing the huge improvement it made on HC on my 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
This is a rough guide that should get someone who knows what they are doing in creating an Odin flashable ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22798858&postcount=32

It would be a good experiment to try to see if it really is something within CWM that is messing things up.

I also want to see if the 7320 guys have any problems with their CWM Roms once they start making them.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
OP updated with your links.

Yea, both have the same qualcomm processor @ 1.5GHz.

ICS just leaked for the skyrocket last night. I wonder how hard it would be to port it over?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jomeister15:
Probably not very hard at all. I can try, but first I need to wait for a stable CWM zip to drop.

They are having lag issues after flashing, pretty similar to what we are experiencing. interesting.

Right, so I've owned a Kindle Fire ever since it came out- preordered it, even. It's a nice, fast little tablet that's great, but I'm looking to squeeze a little bit more functionality out of it. I've been contemplating rooting it for some time, for access to the Android Market (and possibly Cyanogen if I'm feeling a bit risky) along with a greater range of apps. However, I've heard arguments on both sides concerning rooting- which is why I come to you, the XDA forums, for advice.

Should I, or shouldn't I root my Kindle? What are the cons, besides the possibility of bricking? I've rooted plenty of devices for friends- Android SDK, SuperOneClick, etc., so I'm not too worried about that.

I've heard in a few articles that rooting prevents access to things like Amazon Prime Video, but I don't often go near that- though I'd still like to know if there are any more services that might be cordoned off to me.

Thanks in advance.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.A.K:
Hi all,

I'm after a system.img that's going to allow me to run adb shell sessions as root. That's all I need. I don't need any of the normal phone fuctions or devices. I'd imagine disabling these would overcome any incompatibility issues... but I don't know.

Naturally, it'd be easier if such an image already existed, but I should be able to follow instructions on how to reconfigure a normal system and pack it to yaffs2 image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
How about the ramdisk of most custom recoveries- or is that too spare? It will give you a kernel, adb, and busybox if you are lucky.

sent from my android tablet
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.A.K:
As long as I can do an adb shell as root then it's good enough.

I haven't found any compatible custom recovery images that I can flash. Everything I read seems to endup point to clockworkmod and I can't find flashable images for that. It seems to be flashed through rom manager only. I'm probably wrong though. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Depending on your device, there are several ways to flash. These may or may not apply to you:

1) some recovery installer app that you can download, similar to rom manager, or even rom manager itself!

2) a zip file that you make or modify yourself

3) flash through the staging partition, which may or may not be available on your device

4) copy directly into a recovery partition

5) who knows?

What device are you using and what rom and recovery are you using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.A.K:
Sorry, I should have given you some info about my situation.

My phone is a chinese mt6516 iClone: W008+. It's currently without a working system partition so I flash images via pc using Mediatek flash tool.

For a recovery, I'd need an image file to flash directly. For a system partition I could flash and image file or I can pack a dir structure into a yaffs2 image file for flashing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
That seems above my paygrade... when you say image file, do you mean a packed boot.img that starts with ANDROID!

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.A.K:
Well, a boot.img would go on the boot partition for booting into android normally. A recovery.img would also start with ANDROID but would go on the ... er... recovery partition. :) A system image would be different starting something like:

03 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 ff ff
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Ok, it looks like the system.img is yaffs.

I was asking about the boot partition because most recovery images are just boot.img's with the recovery binary in the ramdisk. I made a boot.img once from a recovery partition and flashed it, so I had two recoveries on the same device, and no system! I thought this might be something of what you are looking for. You won't have or need a system since everything will load from the boot.img.

OK, I extracted the ram disk- it was in an odd format. They sure talk funny.

ramdisk_2bb4ad9697.tar

So all the inits are for a fully working system, which you don't have. I guess the next step would be to strip out the inits to just a few basic mount points and then have it start adb. After that, add busybox and whatever goodies, repack it, and then flash away.

I really don't know my way around the init files, so it's mostly hack and slash. If you have any insight on how to strip them down, let's hear it. ;) I'll try to read up on how linux boots. Also, knowing the partition mounts would be helpful, although I suppose you could figure that out with adb, if this actually works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.A.K:
Cheers for that. Looks quite intriguing... I'm going to need a good deal more reading to make use of it though. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.A.K:
Well, I can't say I understand what you've done here but...

I've now got a working phone with root adb. Brilliant!!! Thanks.

I had to flash another system image (meant for a different phone) so that I could get a shell working otherwise I'd get a 'can't find /system/bin/sh' error. But having done that, it works a treat. :) The system still needs a bit of work to get my phone as it should be but that's another story.

I'm really interested in how you've managed to do this. How do you unpack/repack the boot.img? I'd love to mess about with this and see how long it takes to blow my phone up. :D I tried to follow one guide on the net but it just wasn't happening.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.A.K:
Ok, I found the ROOTFS section and pulled it out. So I can see how it all fits together.

According to 7zip, this is a 'Cpio' archive inside a 'Gzip' archive. What's 'Cpio'?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
That's the funny part- there is a 512 byte header that has a few id characters, the file size and then "ROOTFS". The kernel image is similar. All the android parts that I've pulled apart didn't have the 512 byte header.

If you strip that out, then you will have a gzipped cpio archive. You can extract it with "gunzip -c <the ramdisk> | cpio -i"

To recompress it, "find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip >> ../your-new-ramdisk"

You'll have to reattach the 512 byte header and adjust the file size.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.A.K:
Well I got round to having a little play with this. Thanks for the info Gee, it's been filed safely.

I looked at the recovery image and the init.rc doesn't do alot; Ideal starting place. :D Nothing is mounted by default so I put a couple of commands to mount /sdcard and /system normally just to test it. I also had to enable adb in the default.prop file as you did before. This was pretty straight forward and worked. I got into adb shell with root, no problem.

Now I thought it would be ideal if I could mount the sdcard as /system and put '/bin/sh' on the sdcard. Androids sh isn't a link like it is on Linux so I thought this should work. It didn't! On issuing the 'adb shell' command, I got:

link_image[2030]: failed to link /system/bin/sh
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

So I thought I'd try the cache partition. I copied /bin/* to /cache, put the mount commands for /sdcard and cache as /system and this time... I got the same error. I'm surprised the cache partition didn't work. I was able to 'adb pull' the /system/bin/ files from it so I don't know why adb couldn't just execute one of them???

I don't know what to try next as I don't want to be forced to have the system partition mounted just for the sake of adb finding sh. I wouldn't mind if I could just umount it once I'm in the shell... but that would be to easy, wouldn't it. :rolleyes:
