I guess you guys completely ignored the part where it clearly says your bootloader will be replaced... :rolleyes:

You could try editing the zip to remove the bootloader... It's not that hard to do, really...
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Awww.... you know how it is. Place a link to a file, and everybody ignores any written instructions or warnings or anything. Hey, if it shows up in the forums, it must be ok to use ;)

Especially the part in the beginning of the post (in bold letters mind you);

"How to install one 3G Dongle on a TF101 wifi only."

I can see where one might confuse TF101 with A500.....

Can't blame the OP, he was just asking a question :D

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Great!

Do me a favor. I just got a PM from a n00b with a bricked tab. Don't know what he did, but I suspect he did the same thing.

Can you PM me your recovery steps?

Thanks in advance. I'm gonna have the mods remove the link. This is too trendy.

Because, it's the same fix and already are posted. Timmy Deans tool. Or an EUU. APX mode or a PBxxx, still doesn't matter. Because;

Still need the original UID number, and if the people didn't do a CWM or RA recovery backup before flashing an ICS Rom, and then before flashing this dongle mod, well, they are pretty much out of luck.

ok good answer civato:)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
And you I tried to help in all those PM's you sent me. And I tried all possible ways to help you. But you didn't make a recovery backup before you flashed ICS. This is the basic rule everybody must always do before installing ANY rom. And I sent you all possible ways to get your UID.

So please, do not ask me for anymore help. I told you to turn it in for warranty repair.

E ti ho cercato di aiutare in tutti i PM di quelli che mi hai mandato. E ho provato tutti i modi possibili per aiutarvi. Ma non avete fatto un backup di ripristino prima di flash ICS. Questa è la regola di base ognuno deve sempre fare prima di installare qualsiasi rom. E ti ho mandato tutti i modi possibili per ottenere il vostro UID.

Quindi, per favore, non chiedetemi di più aiuto. Ti ho detto di girare per la riparazione in garanzia.

Not to mention you never said "thanks" for trying to help. When I had no other answer, you just went away.

Per non parlare hai mai detto "grazie" per cercare di aiutare. Quando ho avuto altra risposta, è appena andato via.

We need a dev who can compile a compatible hwcomposer.msm8660.so because I can't do it myself (I don't have enough C skills)

Hello,

after a long work I have enabled crt-off animation on htc ICS build! I call it "dirty" because:

-there is only crt-off, not crt-on

-in order to make it work I swaped hwcomposer.msm8660.so with one from Tr**N** OS, witch cause display bugs.

As you can see, htc has remove animation in services.jar AND in hwcomposer.msm8660.so library!

You will find two flashable zip, one with moded services.jar and hwcomposer.msm8660.so and one with stock files.

TO DO:

-enable crt-on

-add settings to enable/disable animation (maybe...)
[HTC Sensation] malcovitch:
Will this have any affects to phone use or display?
[HTC Sensation] Sebby:
so has anyone tryed this
[HTC Sensation] Abaddon:
tried it. works but with graphic glitches. blue artifacts while unlocking via ring. and when opening appdrawer the icons get mirrored behind.

got a semi trans rosie. elegancia rom 3.3.3

also when using weather lockscreen. the glitches are there
[HTC Sensation] BurnRubber90:
Just so you know... Trip took Crt from cyanogenmod gerrit... not really his work.
[HTC Sensation] 3x1at1on:
Works well with IC 5.1.1

Graphics glitches are there on Sense lockscreens (except the wallpaper lockscreen which is glitch free)

I second the small graphical glitches on the left side of the screen on the app drawer.

Not a big issue imho. It will get better I am sure

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] nono2lozere:
Hello,

thanks for your interest! It's just to show that htc had disabled animation in services.jar (in framework) AND in hwcomposer.msm8660.so, witch is amazing! I took it from T**** OS because this the only one witch works, other builds like virtuous quatro or opensensation doesn't work.

I'm not a dev, I'm a "copy-paster" and I haven't lot of skills in smali or in C.

Now "real" devs know what to do to make it work.
[HTC Sensation] BurnRubber90:
Read my comment. I'm sure you could improve it by looking at the changes on Gerrit
[HTC Sensation] Miloud Florian:

Since April 4th OpenSensation supposedly has CRT animations. I don't know if they are "dirty".
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
This ROM is CM9, not Sense

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Gonna give this a go now on virtuous inquisition, to see if it breaks anything or not.

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

Well, it certainly broke stuff. The entire screen was corrupted, countless force close dialog boxes, etc. The CRT animation looked nice though, oh how I've missed it. :)

So now to figure out how to make it work with the ROM I'm using. So they've got it working on OpenSensation? Good to know since Virtuous is more AOSP than sense now, so I wonder if that'll work better. Still uses a modified sense framework though IIRC. Does anyone have a link to the relevant parts I'd need from that ROM to try?
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
The only way this will ever get done is if someone is clever enough to decompile hwcomposer.msm8660.so and make the changes and recompile it or if someone works out how to hex edit it but that would be extremely difficult

Services.jar is not a problem, could easily be modded and added as a tweak, its the hwcomposer.msm8660.so holding us back
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I can decompile it into ASM (Assembly Language) but I don't have enough knowledge of ASM to be confident about making changes in the file
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
If the file can be decompiled and recompiled successfully there must be someone out there that knows the necessary changes to make...
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
If it helps anyone, there's an ics ROM available on here for the HTC desire which has working CRT animations. Maybe someone could have a look at that to compare?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Is it a sense ROM?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Erm, pass. It looked aosp, though I'm not sure if it started out with sense then themed or not.
[HTC Sensation] Iamhero123:
Working perfectly on HyperNonSense 2.2, which is sense based.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Any graphical glitches or anything?
[HTC Sensation] Iamhero123:
Nope, nothing that I've found yet, except a tiny one where in if you switch the screen off whilst still on the lock screen, the animation will play, then the lock screen will flash up for a split second before the screen fully switches off.

What if we took a more compatable .so file from a sense 3.5 rom lilke robocik's rom? Would that work any better?
[HTC Sensation] Dougi:
Heyyyy friend ghost how are you dude :)

Don't think it will , as 3.32 is only 3.6 sense..

But i don't know anythings about libs :D
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Hey Dogi I'm well what about you? Are you enjoying your one x? :) I just had a thought that it might work. Unfortunitly I dont have any sense 3.5 roms to test with!
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
Bit of a weird suggestion, and I'm not sure how feasible it is, but there's an app in the Google Play Store called 'Screen Off and Lock' which does exactly what we want, i.e. it plays a CRT-off animation then switches the screen off, but the catch is that you have to launch it from the app or from the status bar.

Is there a way that someone could make a mod that links the power button to running that app?

Here's a link to the app btw
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Hmm it actually mapps to the long press search button. I wonder if it would be possible to decompile the apk and map to short press power!
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I just gave that app a quick go, and it looks awful compared to the proper CRT animations. :(
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
Which animation did you select?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
The one called old tv I think, the one that tries to look like the proper CRT animations anyway. Looked dump.
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
It looked okay to me! Either way, it doesn't look like we're going to get it linked to the power button lol
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
any joy with this guys and girls?
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
To be honest i think everyone has forgoten about the CRT animations and how cool they were,it'd be the only reason id go back to gb
[HTC Sensation] mikrosmile:
Hi, I am really interested in this mod.

Does it work in some of roms with sense 3.6? which rom?

How we can port it from CM9?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
It apparently doesn't work with sense ROMs yet since HTC removed some important bits from the framework to allow it to work.
[HTC Sensation] mikrosmile:
I just thought about it the whole day

There is an app screen off and lock and it works prefectly.

Just curious...is it possible to put this apk into system, then make for power button special code to use this program instead of stock way to lock the screen?

Anyway the app works with search button and so on..but why we cant use power button..?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
If it's the app I'm thinking of, the effect doesn't look anywhere near as good unfortunately, and only works for screen off. The CRT animations worked for on and off.
[HTC Sensation] c0dex:
i do reli hope that the crt-on animation can be done soon~
[HTC Sensation] mikrosmile:
I meant use this app but change the button to activate it.. is that possible?

like for example...decomplie the app, change there smth and complie, to install, and it will be used by power button..

Headphone-remote-cotroll bug.

Hey Guys,

I'm a new member. I'm not the one who is able to solve the things with the CRT-Animation. But i found a bug. Hehe;)

First:

Thanks for this MOD!

A great CRT-Off animation is important for me. And i'm not the only one.

So finding this mod was a kind of revelation to me.

Now i've to tell about the bug.

If headphones are pluged in and a call is appearing (HTC-Sensation ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6/ running ARHD 6.6...) device is crashing if i take the call by hedphone remote.

When a call is appearing first i have to unpluging the headphones. Then device is still working. Not really usefull.

I hope this bug could be solved because i don't wanna miss CRT-Animation for to long:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] 12reza12:

[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
This is long dead. We wont be able to fix this unless htc release the source code. It is unlikely they will!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Or unless anyone knows ASM and can reverse-engineer the libs using IDA - also highly unlikely as its possibly the hardest programming language to learn :p
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Im sure you could do it in about 10 minutes!!! Just look at the awsome work you have done on the tweaks :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Unfortunatly ASM is completely different, I have the software but Assembly is in a different league of coding to smali - I only know 2 people with any sort of knowledge about this and they only know the bear minimum required to get though their university courses :(
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Even that crappy "screen off and unlock" app doesn't work. You can preview the animation but when you actually lock your phone it doesn't do it. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] yup8:
Considering to buy one.

in a price of 300$ it has no other competitors...

Will it get ICS ? (Custom ROMS,OR OFW..)

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] johnwaynegacy:
I have been reading that samsung is not going to update this with ics because they are releasing another 7 inch tablet with ics. Honestly it's just rumors and speculation, but I would say no. I got mine the other day for 280 bucks shipped. For that price, it's good enough for me. Beware though, the thing is full of bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] yup8:
May you give an example
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] johnwaynegacy:
The ui is really laggy, none of the input boxes in the web browser work as expected, the remote control feature (for me at least) never worked once, netflix does not respond correctly. When netflix does work, the screen will occasionally flicker. This is all I have noticed in the few days I have had it. Also, the screen has really bad resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] yup8:
WTF I REALLY DONT WANT THIS DEVICE. Anything else you would recommend ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] drksilenc:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] yup8:
In best-buy.... 300$

You say that john is worng?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] orb360:
Everything works fine for me. On occasion it needs to be reset by holding the power button because it won't wake up (look at the "sleep of death" thread)

But the browser, netflix, and remote all work fine for me.

It is slated to get ICS. It will probably be delayed into 4th quarter this year though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Vivified:
Update your tablet! Mine works fine, the browser is really responsive, UI doesn't seem to slow down, Netflix works great, even HDMI to my TV!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] yup8:
I dont want a buggy dying device, any other advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Vivified:
Go and take a look for yourself at your local BestBuy, etc... IMO. This is by far the best 7' tab out there. No problems to speak of for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] melcali:
not sure how buggy it is for other people...

anyways.

the stock launch is horrible. never mattered to me because i always install another launcher on all my android devices.

the stock browser is ok. its annoying that the brightness always dims. i installed the browser from asus. its faster and doesnt do that annoying dimming. it also has the dark honeycomb theme instead of the light theme that comes with the tab.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] yup8:
I live offshore so i cant go to best buy
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kmmxracer:
I have never had any of these issues with this device before or after the update. The screen resolution is not that bad IMO, sure it could be better but hey you could always buy and over priced, mediocre spec, limited OS apple product with a nice screen.

Sure development on this device is slow at this point, but thats what you get with a device that not many top devs are drawn too. garyd9 seems like an awesome dev but like he said, it's really upto samsung to release ICS or better source code to get things going.

I love this device for the size and hardware, I think the IR is a nice touch as long as app development get more involved.

Just always keep in mind that Samsung is in the business of mass producing a bunch of devices and making money. Customers service and support is an after thought.

i would get the g-tab 7.7 on the 10.1 3g lil more costly but better all-round :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] johnwaynegacy:
I actually got it on amazon from electronics expo, the price varies greatly depending on the time of day. As soon as I added it to my cart the next one was 340 dollars. Maybe it goes to 340 and the price goes down for every one they sell until it hits rock bottom and then goes back up to 340. I need to check my software version, but the first thing I did when I booted it up was check for software updates in the settings menu. I dont have it on me, I am at work, and it is at home next to my bed. I will check later on how to update software.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] johnwaynegacy:
I am up to date on my firmware already.

Just don't know when.

Thaddeus, Mar 09 12:40 (PST):

Hi,

Thanks for contacting Peel and a big thanks in advanced for your patience pertaining to this Galaxy Tablet issue. At this time, there have been issues relating to the way the tablet fires off the IR codes, this IR driver fix is part of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) OS update. I wish there was a timeline on when Samsung will release this update but unfortunately there is not, this issue is in Samsung's hands. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, we want you up and running with Peel as much as you do. We will let you know as soon as this update becomes available.

Thanks for your interest in Peel,

Thaddeus

You know I really want to buy the 7 plus JUST 'CUZ its price (370€ in italy)...

Otherwise I'd buy the 7.7 (which is strong better and everyone knows it)...

BUT, before doing it, I'd like to know your REALLY impression! I even got a Note (which simple ROCKS - even for devs) and a Motorola Xoom (wich ROCKS TOO)...

Do I have to follow my wants (wait and buy 7.7) or do I have to buy the 7inch?

I'd use it just as second phone (for my inc. SIM)

I bought one on Monday.

No UI lag for me.

Android browsers worked just as it does, i.e. NO unexpected behavior but I usually use Dolphin(habit originally for tabs)

Pretty decent device v. the ones you see listed that I own it is easily the best. The A43IT is VERY sluggish to rotate but I liked the size BEFORE I got a bit larger smartphone(4.1") which kind of made the A43 redundant. IF I were in the market for a smaller device today I'd go with the Samsung Player, better features and close price plus WAY more likely to get an OS upgrade as all Archos does for their older tablet are theoretically bug fix. I say theoretically as they introduce more bugs than they fix and one of these introed the poke rotation. As to my others, none of those will get upgrades either and all of them(including the Archos) came w/o official market support and/or crap stock fw versions -> running custom fw on all but the Archos devices and dual boot the Nook Color with a uSD loaded with CM7 o.w. boot stock but I haven't bothered to do that in a LONG time.

Almost went with a B&N Tablet or the Kindle Fire, but then I saw the 7+ for $299 so I researched on the web/forums, then went and looked at one in the store(sadly unpowered).

So yep, the 7+ is MUCH better than my other tablets, build quality is better too, even better than the Nook Color which was pretty good itself. [EDIT] Extra features of the 7+ over those other two are easily worth $100... [/EDIT]

[EDIT]

Never bothered with the IR or the Peel sw yet... I don't watch much TV, etc.

...and yes that proprietary cable bites... 1st Tablet that I've actually owned with one, but I must admit that I didn't look at that and just assumed that it'd be the usual microUSB port...

[/EDIT]
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] skeeterpro:
Agree with most of what you say. In my opinion the 7.7 blows away the 7+ but both are exceptional.

Writing to a mounted uSD can be done and many are doing so. Involves a little tweaking the plaform.xml file but way simple. And Kies is not mandatory to transfer files. I do it all the time via MTP on my win7 machine.

HTH

GB? :confused:

This is running Honeycomb and they really had no reason to rush it as Android 3.2 (the build compatible for 7" devices) was released in August (not to mention right around the same time as the TouchWiz build for HC was released) and the Tab Plus wasn't released until November.

I do agree with you in hoping they release a more stable ICS build but they really had no excuse for all the problems with TW on Honeycomb, they had plenty of time but obviously didn't care. It seems they just wanted to be able to say they "updated" they're devices rather then keep them working properly. If they want ICS to run appropriately then they should do as HTC is doing and scale back the Custom UI and let Android (ICS) shine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
Ya, I wanted to get the 7.7, but it's like $300 more from what I can find, and it's not available via amazon or at my stores. So I decided to get the 7+, and I don't regret it. If I could get the 7.7 with a decent price, I would, but 7+ suits my needs perfectly.

As far as Kies, like I said it's almost required...meaning it's not mandatory to use it. Which is why I use other apps. However I will never again use the sdcard fix, which is why my tablet bricked in the first place.

Just curious about what kind of security people use to unlock their phones. I played with the face unlock when I first got the GN but eventually got too impatient. I'm trying to decide if continuing to "Improve face matching" will eventually make it fast almost every time, or if I should just go ahead and switch to pattern or pin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MohamadKarbi:
If you lock your phone, I found face unlock minimize touching the screen and thus less blur on screen :)

But sometimes I feel face unlock delay my logging into the phone in case I want to do something quick.... I still prefer pattern unlock
