i searched and all i could find was how to change the keyboard on a non stock rom.

i was wondering how to go about changing the keyboard on a stock rom, i installed thumb keyboard but as you know the stock roms do not have a place to change the keyboard in the settings.

would i need to place the files in the system data/ app (i dont remember which one it was) like i did when i had cm7 on my fire?

Hidden Settings

I did this to get swype before I switched to CM7/CM9 I think what I ended up doing is downloading a hidden settings app, which allowed me to locate the option for keyboards. I think there is one available from amazon market, and a few in the play store.

I'm looking to root and flash an ICS rom, but it looks way more difficult that the Evo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
As long as you're not trying an ICS, it's way easy. Just as easy.

All the ICS stuff is test builds and betas and kernals that have issues with cwm. They are not "hard" as much as you must be meticulously paying attention to the instructions.

Read read read some more before doing anything. Srsly. And watch QBKING77s videos on YouTube, it will show you everything you need to know about rooting and flashing this phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
If you were able to root/flash the Evo this should not be too hard, just learn the terminology like ODIN, TAR and so on.

If you are able to read and follow instructions it's EASY.

As with any new device you should take some time and get familiar with it. I found quite a few differences from my previous phone (Optimus S) and only after scouring through here for 2 weeks did I decide to jump on an ICS ROM.

Here's some good places to get started:

[WIKI] ROOT, ROMs, KERNELS, MODEMs, HOW-TOs (sticked at top) - Great general info, but make sure to check out the Android Development forum for current ROMs.

Note: Learn and understand ODIN as it will be your friend.

In addition to the link from the post above there is an ODIN One-Click option.

Here is the link for that: [ODIN][TAR] SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 (EL29 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted)

How Not To Brick Your E4GT - Really should be essential to understand the ICS issues.

Hope this helps and enjoy your phone!

What is this yellow triangle business?

I've read a lot of the dev forums and they say it's bad and you should avoid it...

What causes it? What are the implications once it happens? Can it be fixed after you have it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
Just thought there hasn't been an ICS post in the past couple hours so...

THEY HAVEN'T RELEASED ICS OR CM FOR THE T989 OMG!!!

Seriously...you don't even have to search...there are about 4 or 5 ICS posts on the front page...quit wasting our time and just be patient. The forum will blow up with about 100 posts when there actually is news about ICS....

As Reagan said...trust but verify. For all you idiots who find it neccisary to post every ICS scrap you can..

When you read some **** that says the GS2 has/is getting/drivers/etc for ICS, here is a simple step-by-step to determine weather you should post a thread to XDA:

1. Its probably for the international (i9100). We don't give a **** about the internatonal. Just stop reading and go about your business if you even see the word "international". Don't even look at the words if you see a button on the front of the phone on the picture. We don't have a button.

2. our AT&T counterpart is the SKYROCKET (t727). it looks EXACTLY like ours. not the AT&T SGS2 (t777). See 1 on how to deal with news about the AT&T SGS2.

3. If you still think the article has to do with our phone, look for T989. Push ctrl+f (or command+f) and type in t989. If it's not there, don't waste our time.

4. If you find T989 after pushing ctrl+f...read it in context. Most likely its an ad or just confirms you are an idiot for thinking the article meant ICS is coming to the t989.

5. Still hopeful? Repeat 3-4 and search t727.

6. If you are still unsure...repeat steps 1-5.

7. Still think its about the t989?? Just delete your XDA account.

8. Are you just crazy sure that it has to be about the t989?? Check XDA. Somebody will still post ICS threads every hour...

9. I'm sorry if you still think your news is about the t989 after going through all that you should just give up on life now.

10. Don't post anything. Just don't post. Period. Please. Don't. Post.

By following this simple 10-step process, you can determine weather you should post an ICS thread! And maybe it will cut down on ICS posts...I hope this helps you guys...

PS: Sorry if I seem like a troll and actually mislead somebody by my title...just sick of it as everyone else is.

And now for my opinions piece: WHY THE EFF DIDNT I GO WITH HTC??!!!!! Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Actually Samsung already stated that a large portion of the galaxy lineup would be gettin the update, including SII/s2x,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
What people misinterpreted about the articlea were that the article mainly mentions international version. Later articles stated that carrier variants would be dependent on the carrier themselves and their own timeline as we'll as other factors. Those factors being that the us has tons of variants using different processors. People sawsgs2 and assumed it meant for us.international did indeed get ics q1 as they said.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Raistline:
Hrrmm slower HW at time of release compared to T959,

Very easy to brick,

S-On/S-off,

No SAMOLED+ display,

Less Internal Storage,

Screen more fragile?

I think that is a good short summary, or at least all the reasons that kept me from going HTC and getting SGS2 when coming from the Vibrant.

As a Vibrant owner I know full well the pain of waiting for Official releases.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
So does this mean we are getting it now? I didn't have time to read 2 pages..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Raistline:
Yes, we are getting ICS, right after the Vibrant gets Gingerbread. :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Correct. And do to those timelines us carriers probably wont see ICS till probably Q2

People just see the galaxy name and don't realize its a family of devices.

But at the same time, why would samsung support only international, and leave their TOP SELLING DEVICE out?

So to say we wont get it is a little far fetched to say the least
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] comoc85:
That's what I figured! The official statement doesn't actually include ANY US versions of the GSII line. I can't stand US carriers anymore! Looks like I start saving now for my next phone in 2 years. Must...get...off...subsidized phones!

Hi all

Found new firmware for my Lumia 710. Tried to flash it with the help o Nokia Care Suite, but the PC started to install new drivers, and driver "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" failed to install.

Now, when i try to flash my phone it reboots, gives short vibrate and nothing else. NCS says that it failed to change the mod. Windows founds my phone as flas drive and wants to format it in order to use. And i've to put out the bettery and turn on the phone.

I've alredy flashed the phone twice and everything went ok. Tried to reinstall Zune/NCS/Windows. Changed USB ports, reset the phone. Nothing helps. Tries to change the USB mode from Zune to Serial, tried to flas it in rocovery mode. All the same. Windows says that problems in this drver.

Hope for your help,

[HTC Sensation] Fazeh:
I'm trying to reset everything to return my phone. My touchscreen is unresponsive and I tried methods on the forums to try get it working, but had no luck. I flashed GB roms, ICS roms, various firmwares matching the roms and the touchscreen is still unresponsive. The only way for me to reinstall stock rom was to flash clockwork 5.0.2.0 (via img) which doesn't use the touchscreen.

I tried a couple attempts to use cmd prompt to re-brand the cid but it would just stay in fastboot and "waiting for device" in cmd prompt.

I can't get the phone into usb debugging. It might be possible by flashing a rom with it enabled.

So the main question is their a way for me to get s-on and re-brand cid without using the touchscreen? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
When you in fastboot mode you can re-write the CID so you don't need to use the screen at all

[HD2 General] damaty:
When i turn on the phone it restarts after a while. Time of live is different - about 5-30sec, sometimes(rarely) it loads android successfully(but then reboot, max live time - 3-4min). It all started a few days ago after a full discharge. Phone without sim, without sd.

There are some topics with similar problem(symptoms), but:

* I have not changed the firmware in the last 4-5 months

* It's not a battery issue, I tried to connect a phone to power supply with cables (2 cables - one for + and one for -, ~4V) and turned it on (without battery). It turned on with the same problem. (notice: consumption=0.25mA)

* I put it in the fridge for an hour (without battery) - no effect at all. 10 secs and reboot. (so, it was the most probable, but...)

* I tried to boot with volume down+power - boots ok (3 color screen with text) and reboot after a few secs.

I have not looked at motherboard yet (don't have a little screwdriver). Anyway I don't know what could be the problem? help me plz! :confused:

p.s. sorry for my english
[HD2 General] retsam88:
It could be CPU related or faulty motherboard. You can't be very sure about your battery. If you can try another one.

Does it heat up suddenly while turned on?

Also, next time DON'T put phone in fridge- you could made it only worse.
[HD2 General] damaty:
About battery. I tried to connect a phone to power supply (txn-1502D) without battery at all. And no changes - turns on, few secs and reboot.

I put it in the fridge in multiple packages ( I thought it would protect it from water :o )

And no, It does not heat up while turning. (at least on the surface of phone).

So, i think, It only remains to try to remove the extra peripherals (camera/3g/etc), and if no effect start looking for a new phone :(

And a little question, whether the consumption of 0.25A while turning on normal?
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
assuming this is not a hardware problem and the battery is sufficiently charged, sounds like:

1. your sd-card partition(s) may have errors on them and/or...

2. maybe your ROM installation might have been corrupted

for 1, remove the sd-card and you can put it in a card reader and plug it into your desktop/laptop. on the desktop/laptop, you can at least check the FAT32 partition for errors and repair them.

for 2, try re-installing the ROM or try another ROM altogether while you are at it. BUT, in order to install a ROM you need a good amount of battery which isn't charging properly because the ROM reboots and interrupts the charging. also magldr doesn't support charging so use one of the following methods to charge the battery to prepare for a re-install:

a. use an external charger

b. install the "4EXT" recovery which supports charging...installing recovery takes a few seconds and booting into the recovery via magldr also takes a few seconds. if you can flash and boot into 4EXT, then you can charge your battery to 100%. see my signature for a link to the 4EXT recovery for the HD2 (open the link and scroll to the middle of the page to see the links for the 4EXT download).

try to eliminate possibility 1 FIRST!
[HD2 General] damaty:
Sorry, I can not correctly described the situation, but in first post i wrote "phone without sim, without sd", so... About ROM - magldr doesn't boot android until I press something like "load from nand". And it reboots in any case over time. (even if I did not press anything)

So, i think it is hardware problem, but it does not look like overheating/battery issue and may be amenable to repairs in the home.. But now i can't determine possible causes.
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
I also didn't read your post properly :D

The highlighted part in your quoted post above seems to indeed indicate a hardware problem!
[HD2 General] Armazia:
If you leave the device alone for 15 minutes rebooting, has the phone catched any heat? or is it just "Cold", Could be that the cpu is overheated, or the contacts are bad. Maybe try to put the phone in a freezer and keep it there for 5 minutes, then try booting it.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
I would have suggested you repartition your phone to a higher amount that your ROM needs but seeing this "tried to boot with volume down+power - boots ok (3 color screen with text) and reboot after a few secs" I would say its pointless. This seems to me like a hardware issue, possible the motherboard has gone bad. If it was a software issue you would likely not get the reboots in bootloader mode.

Then, the question. I bought a TF101 (obviously stock) with 8.6.5.21 system version. Now, I'd like to install a custom mod (like ARHD) but i have to root it before and install CWM. I read many pages about rooting TF101 here but I'm a bit confused; i read about old methods, outdated programs, even tried some (without any result) and I don't know which is the easiest way to root it at the moment.

Better downgrading to 8.6.5.17 and then razorclaw? Another easier way?

just bought my NT. I hear about rooting via sd or full root. what is the difference and is there a stock B&N rom w\market?

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Have a look around the Development sub-forum. There are some in there. The ROM thread titles will lead you to what you are looking for.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
The best method is the one that you find that has the least amount of issues. YMMV. Having said that, most people these days are going with the sdcard root method. Personally, I think this is a mistake. The method behind it is great and Albert has done an awesome job putting them together, making how to videos and hosting the downloads. The downside? most people are using this method and not setting up a working ADB on their pc. Chances are high that somewhere down the road you will have issues with something on the NT. These issues are usually simply solved with ADB. Not having it working sets you back hours or longer trying to get it set up to recognize your device, then fix the NT.

Simply put, you NEED a working ADB regardless of which root method you choose. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a fool.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
If I have previously did the original rooting with Indirect's method, and subsequent block OTA, does that mean i have a functional ADB?

What do people prefer the SD card method vs the internal method? Any download to the sd card method? Thanks so much
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
If you have applied Indirect's original root method, you most likely have ADB installed. Provided you still have the C:\NTROOT folder {or wherever you unzipped it to) Easiest way to check it is to open up a cmd window from that folder (or cd to that folder), plug up the NT and check adb devices. So long as it lists your NT, you are golden.

I think most people are going with the sdcard method is because it really is stupid easy. I have never used them, but I have in fact watched the videos. You would need to check out Albert's sdcard thread to see about what all you would need.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Thanks, i heard there're performance issues, i.e. wifi, battery and cpu speed, etc. associated with the SD card method that makes the internal memory method more superior? Is it still the case? What's the drawback on the sd card method?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
When I was testing the pre-release of cm7 on sdcard, there was no noticeable difference in speed.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czechpunk:
I've been using it for about 2 months now on CM9 and it works fine. I had the same problem, initially, but all it's trying to do is login through Facebook (owned by the same guy). After you link it to Facebook, it'll work, and then if you don't want to share on Facebook, just change it in settings.

The app itself sucks compared to the PC version. You can't sort by artist, album, etc. and it lists any song you "star" by date added, no matter what, but you can at least search for new music and it will sync to your existing database. Just wish they would sort out the sorting function (ha!).

Edit: I think it may be due to the fact that Facebook sync doesn't work for ICS (yet) so it acts like you're not logged into Facebook even after you do through Spotify.
