[Acer Iconia A500] daimerion:
Was wondering if any of the devs here could possibly spend some time to develop for the a200 as it is similar to the a500?

Our boot loader is unlocked

We are rooted

And we have cwm.

Just need some custom rom love such as cm9,aokp and so on.

I am not a dev but have comp programming knowledge if you need any files from the a200 I would be happy to share.
[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
What do you mean we have CWM??

Is there something I missed?

But I do agree, we need our own section along with some custom ROMs!!

I found it!!!

Flash CWM? Follow this link!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, creating your own simple roms isn't all that difficult. It's just hard to do when you don't have an a200 to test with. ;) But the theory behind it is all the same.

If you guys want to try it yourself, let me know, and I'll share what I know about it. Seeing's you're already rooted and CWM installed, should be safe ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
I wouldn't mind having a deodexed rom. I would do it myself but not sure if I have the time with how much I work. Unless it's not that hard to do. I just can't wait until I can theme this device. Already have all the .png's ready...
[Acer Iconia A500] Toffy:
Sure a a200 section is missing...

Now we had ClockWorkMod on our tablets we can fash what we want.

3G patch for example will be great for me...

But i'm not familiar with cooking kernel, or dev anything ...
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You know of any A200 ICS Roms (full rom or update)?

I can take a shot at it. Just send me a link.

Give me something to do until the 501 update ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Guess nobody is really interested.
[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
I was waiting for someone else to respond with being able to provide it. Where would the update.zip be? I might still have it on my tab somewhere...
[Acer Iconia A500] daimerion:
Here you go...the ota ics

http://knowmydroid.com/blog/manually-download-and-install-ice-cream-sandwich-on-acer-iconia-a200

Might be the leak though...not sure
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Can you do a system dump through ADB?

A Boot image would be nice also.

Would give me a starting point.
[Acer Iconia A500] daimerion:
I cant atm but maybe ^^^phil can?
[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
I have a system dump already from the stock untouched ICS before I rooted it. Give me a little bit to upload it...
[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
I have mmcblk0p 1-4, which one's do you need and how would I get you the boot.img?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Not sure about how to pull the boot image.

But the files from a "rooted" system dump would be great. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that earlier.

The issue, is that the root app they published, flashes the boot.image in 2 parts. And they're modified. This results in a modified boot.image in your tab when you run the root. Would be easier to have a complete modified image.

Well, never de-compiled and recompiled an image before, so will figure it out ;) Maybe!

The rest, can probably be run from the install script as far as permissions and such.
[Acer Iconia A500] hbwelch:

[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
Ah, well good. That's what I get for not checkin the threads for a few days.

Hopin to see some customs soon. Would be nice!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ok, just to update you, I sent out a test version this morning. Mainly to make sure I got the install-script right with permissions and stuff. No other changes other than removing the usual bad stuff.

If, and I say "if" it goes well, then I can proceed on stripping the heck outta it.

If not, I have an alternate plan.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ok, need 1 or 2 of you people to try this install. All the bad stuff is taken out. At the worst, it will bootloop at start.

If it boots, check Su for write and re-write on the /system. Copy a file, see if it sticks. Then delete it.

Root explorer added to /data/app so check permissions.

Make sure you do your recovery backup first,

Then wipes and such like a normal rom.

[Acer Iconia A500] daimerion:
nothing negative to report to you. everything works as it should including SU and writing to /system and so on.

Thanks for your help bro!

All fixed, everything is working, uploaded.

[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
Well I can't seem to complete a recovery backup successfully so I'm not gonna mess with anything until I have overcome that hurdle.

Yes, I have a SD card in (32gb) and tried it a few times. Won't finish the backup for /data
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I'm going to guess you may have some corrupt files in /Data. Might have to do a complete Format on that partition. Not sure what kind of options you have in your version of CWM. on the 500/501, If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed. Now this is on a 500/501, so I suspect yours is the same.

Seems to be a somewhat frequent issue with ICS. Not quite sure what causes it, but have seen it on some 500 ICS users (about 10% or so).

Well, don't worry about the install test for mine. Got feedback and seems to work ok along with SU.

So now, I'll get to doing some mods to it. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
Are you talking about the recovery installer app backup/restore tablet option? If so, that'sa premium feature and wouldn't work for me considering the premium version of the app is for the A500 only thus would not work for my device anyway...
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Latest version is being updated for the A200.
[Acer Iconia A500] RageAgain:
cwm error?

If you are having backup fail in cwm on /data, I had that happen and finally realized that I was exceeding the 4gb file size limit for FAT32. Once I paired down the unnecessary files in my data partition ( I even wiped my cache ) I was able to successfully backup my data partition.
[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
I have a 32gb microSD, is there something I'm missing or never not once caught on to?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I think what he was on about, was that there seems to be a current size limit on the Data partition when doing a recovery backup. So he trimmed the fat off his Data partition (like removing useless apps, game data, etc. He even flushed out his Cache before running the backup.

Not the overall size of the SD Card.

I remember seeing this on another forum, about the size limit on the 200 recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
Ya, I wiped my cache and tried again as well. No dice.

Data is something that can be completely restored with titanium backup, right?

If so, I'll just remove the big apps like Need for Speed and then do a backup.

Or can this size limit in question be changed in the recovery specifically for tablets? As in, can the recovery be modified then updated for the masses?
[Acer Iconia A500] RageAgain:
I copied my Titanium backup folder, and every other large folder to my SD Card and then deleted them from my Data partition.

As it is, CWM takes each partition and tar's it to a file, and my Data partition tar file was over 4gb, which it the immutable file size limit of Fat32. So, on failure, if you check your data.xxxx.tar and it is at the limit then you have more than 4gb of data in your data partition and it won't work until you get it down to under 4gb. Otherwise the cause of the failure is something else.
[Acer Iconia A500] philosophics:
So what you're saying is that recovery is backing up the internal memory as well?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
I'd like to figure out how to connect my Yamaha MIDI keyboard to my Asus tf101 tablet for recording via hardwired USB.

I've scoured the web looking for an app or solution to this and have come up generally blank, I've tried all the free midi controller apps, but they only seem to support Wifi or Bluetooth, which my keyboard is unable to do.

I'd like to eliminate my computer as a middleman (If I'm at my computer I'd just use that) and be able to use my tablet to record on the go! :D

Any ideas/thoughts/help/wisdom/proverbs/ninjas would be greatly appreciated

Device Info:

ASUS Transformer tf101 running

ICS 4.0.3 Rooted

I have the dock with 2 USB 2.0 ports that I am connecting to the connecter with.

Cable:

Amazon: USB MIDI Input Output Cable Converter PC Notebook

Works fine on computer and no issues so far via usb.

Thanks! :D

Hi, I have a solution for You.

Download Grand Piano Pro from google play store works perfectly.

Download Floating Browser if You want to do something on top of the app.

I'm using worlde panda 61 midi keyboard via usb on my Transformer Prime :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
Yep AFAIK, Grand Piano and the Organ app from the same developer are the only 2 apps that supports USB Midi at the moment.

I made a quick video to show it working here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GygpDwYMVk

There is also USB Midi Monitor, but that is just a utility rather than an instrument or recorder.

I am really keen for more apps to come out so we can record using a USB midi controller.

Does anyone know any more apps that support USB Midi devices?

thanks,

Rich
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4RDY:
I presume this should also work if I'm connecting my keyboard via a MIDI to USB converter then to the phone?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
If it's a standard MIDI device (ie. if you can plug it into a Windows or Mac machine and it shows up as a midi controller without needing to install any special drivers) then it should work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4RDY:
Excellent thanks. I've purchased the otg cable, I'll report back.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4RDY:
Hi!

My cable arrived and I had a go at connecting up my midi keyboard. After some time I realised that the phone appeared not to be putting enough power through to the midi-usb converter that I use on my PC usually (plug and play), such that the led indicator was not lighting. I bought Grand Piano and Midi Monitor, both showed no response. When I open Midi Monitor there is a pop up that says, no MIDI device detected.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
You could try putting a powered USB hub in between the midi-usb converter and the OTG cable.

That kind of takes away the portability aspect though as you'll be tied to a power point.

But if you have one available, you could at least confirm if that is the issue.

If that does solve the issue, you could try to power the USB hub with a portable power pack... but I'm not sure i that would work...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Thank you thank you for the app listing, Gpp works for midi detection, and is pretty much what I was looking for. It didn't need any power on my tf101. I'll be sure to hit that thanks button at midnight x)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiruspt:
I have a TF300T and a Yamaha keyboard that I connect to my computer via USB (no drivers needed).

I don't have the keyboard for the tablet so I was thinking about buying the USB OTG adapter and connect the piano directly. Is this possible? Anyone has the USB OTG adapter and tried this?

Thanks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] simplyinsane112:
Hello :) Just a quick question or two. Right now I have an Iphone 4 and am eligible for an upgrade. I decided on the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. However do any of you know if an iPhone data plan will work with a non-iphone smartphone? I'm really trying to keep my iphone plan for the sake of being able to switch my microsim between the iphone and the Samsung (If all works out I want to keep my microsim instead of a new one. I'll just use an adapter with the Samsung)

I've read that a non-iphone smartphone can work under an iphone data plan but an iphone can't work under a regular smartphone plan. Which is why I'm trying hard to keep the plan I have now. I just want to know if that is fact or false.

Any information will be really helpful. I asked this on the at&t forum but haven't gotten any replies. I hope you guys can help :) Please and thank you

EDIT: sorry. I meant to post this in the Q&A forum. Is it okay to post this here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tweakecho:
You can keep your plan, As i just upgraded from an Iphone 4 myself, however you will not be able to switch sims as easily, You must get a new sim for the LTE service from ATT for the skyrocket. I kept my same plan with unlimited data now provisioned for LTE and whatnot is all.

So your plan will have to be adapted, You can get a cookie cutter for your sim and then it should work in an iphone never tried it though....and the adapter would have to go in the skyrocket.

Hope this helps, PS don't let them change your plan they will ask you too but say no.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] (att)whyme:
the quick answer is no, although you will be able to retain the "unlimited" status of the plan, they are two different codes on your account. so you can use the phone and text but no data or pic/vid messages unless you change the data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] simplyinsane112:
Thanks for the info :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] simplyinsane112:
Thanks for answering. How happy are you with the Skyrocket now that you've upgraded from the iPhone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] R4INS:
I came from iPhone as well. My grandfathered iPhone $30 unlimited plan carried over to my skyrocket. Still had to get a new Sim card though. Make sure they keep your grandfathered plan, I heard some people got ripped off on theirs. You can keep it so make sure you specify that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r_3:
I kept my unlimited and it's damn fast
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] simplyinsane112:
I have the $30 unlimited plan too. So your data plan name is still under iPhone or under Smartphone Unlimited Data plan? Just making sure I'm understanding right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] R4INS:
This is what my bill says now:

Unlim data for 4G LTE Smartphones w/Visual Voice Mail	02/12-03/11	30.00

But it was previously the Iphone unlimited data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
Also important to mention that I'd you have unlimited you will now be throttled at 5 gbs instead of 3 like iPhone users
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blkkouki:
id be curious as to where you got any of this info. the throttle limit on any of the unlimited smartphone plans is 1.5-2.5 gb i have a skyrocket and have gotten throttled at 2.1 gb.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Hawkeye9723:
When I upgraded from my iPhone 3GS to the Skyrocket the guy at the store asked me if I wanted to switch from my unlimited data plan. I told him no, I'd rather take the throttle than the overage charges any day. Now my bill shows this feature instead of the iPhone data plan: LTE UNL SMT VVMT. I was also surprised that I wasn't asked to verify my employment status with Wal Mart, I haven't worked there in 4 years, but i still get the 20% discount off my bill every month.

If you've read through the thread describing the mod you should have realized that the HD shows up just like any other removable device. And since the transformer has the Asus file utility you wouldn't even need a 3rd party app to view the files to move them. Although the Asus file utility is the best OEM app of its kind that I've seen I'd still recommend ES File Explorer myself.

I'm upgrading my SD card to a 16Gs one from my old 8Gs. Is there anyway I can get all the apps back and working if I move EVERYTHING exactly as it is to the new card? Or is Titanium Backup the only way? And IF Titanium Backup is the only way, I guess there's no use of moving the app folders as Titanium Backup does backup all the app settings and data? Right? :D

And also, do I need to partition my SD? Because all my apps seem to run fine on SD. Does partitioning make it faster?

Thanks! \m/
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Silvane:
Just move it all. It'll be like you never changed SD cards.

You don't need to use Titanium Backup but to answer your question, yes it saves data too.

Partition your SD if you're gonna use Link2SD or A2SD. Apps in your partition can still be used even if you have connected your phone to pc via usb. I put all widgets on my partition so I can still use them even when it's not on my internal memory. No difference in speed of running apps but apps load faster at boot because you don't have to wait for media scanning to start/finish. And more internal memory too. :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Raol Emostar:
So 512MB of partition becomes the internal memory? O.o And I do use Link2SD but it moves the apps to the external memory without the partition on my 8GB card. And the apps run just fine. So why do i need the partition for?

Confused. O.o
