[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazterjay:
I use NFC Task Launcher on my Samsung Galaxy S4.

The following could be a little bit different depending on your phone's make and model and rom type. I did the following.

Open up NFC Task Launcher and go through the tutorial.

- In the end you can create you own task.

- When you create a new task just click for NFC.

If you have NFC Disabled, just leave it like that and when it'll ask you if you want to enable it, press cancel. (TIP; if the top bar overlay is bugging with more information, just tap on one of the buttons after explanation to have it's focus come back to the window.)

- Name the task 'VPN' or something.

- Click on the cross (✚) in the right top corner to add an action

- Search for 'Applications & Shortcuts' and select 'Open Activity', then click next at the bottom.

- The application list will load up. Select 'Settings' as an application and the activities list will be updated.

- Choose; 'com.android.settings.Settings$VpnSettingsActivity' and select 'Add to Task' at the bottom.

- Then press the arrow to the right '→' in the top right corner.

- It will say you need to place a tag underneath it. DON'T DO THAT, AS IT WILL OVERWRITE THE TAG. (I hope you still have NFC OFF!)

- Just press the tick mark (✓)

- Now you have at least 1 task in the 'My Tasks' list.

Now, to add this to you're homescreen, do the following;

- Go to your homescreen.

- Add a widget like you would normally do. The name of the widget is 'Run Task', so look for the 'R'.

- There are 3 options there, background color (I personally like the black BG), select Icon (I've chosen the gear icon since its a setting) and select task. In 'Select Task' choose for the VPN task you've made and press 'Done'.

- Now press the task on the homescreen, and it'll open up the VPN list (at least on SGS4 it does).

- Connect to your VPN as you would normally do.

You can even write this to an NFC, but that doesn't make sense, since all it does is open the VPN settings menu, not connecting to the VPN directly.

Sidenote; This app is also handy for making other tasks, such as tweeting your at work, check in at Foursquare, send your boss an email that you're in the office and turn off the sound of your phone all in one task, just by connecting to your works wifi connection or by taping an NFC task.

Now you can easily connect to your favorite VPN easily.

Using ES file explorer from google play to get access to my shares and play the streams with MX Video-Player. Everything works fine for me. Even .mkvs in 720p over WiFi are looking great and playing without lags.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aethery:
Hello, I do this too :) I think ES File Explorer + MX Video player will give a higher quality (since you're opening the file itself, instead of getting a limited bitrate video stream).

I think you could use VideoLAN (vlc) to stream video to a dedicated port or something, you can always google about it if you want.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azertouf:
Hi !

I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi only (GT-P7510).

I want to install ICS on it, but I'm stucked on a problem : my screen is scrolling (flickering if you prefer, like an old broken TV) on a recovery and after install some roms.

My current configuration is OK with that :

- Recovery : CWM v5.5.0.4.

- Android : 3.2

- Kernel : 2.6.36.3 se.infra@SEP-81 #1

- Version number : HTJ85B.XXKL2 P7510XXKL2

With this recovery, I tried to flash my tab with the latest Krang version.

Installation OK but when Android starts : my screen is flickering and never stops.

I can see the Android ignition but impossible to use it except to shut down.

When I try to flash with Cyanogen mod for P7510 (plus.google.com/100275307499530023476/posts/1Lm5iULvf3w), my recovery says :

Assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "p4wifi" II getprop("ro.build.product") == "p4wifi"

Then I tried to install another recovery (a friend made it with this recovery) : andrewrecov.

This recovery starts scrolling, hard to read, then too fast to read anything.

I search for a solution on the web, but found nothing.

Just found some guys saying it's a rare problem, but I don't have any solution.

Any ideas ?

Thanks for your help ;)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddup1:
Hi,

So i am not alone to get this problem :)

I dont have fixed the problem but find a workaround, if you install KANG (and other rom with scolling pb), if you lock screen (with power button) and wake up, scroll don't exist anymore and display is fine.

If you reboot the tab you have to redo lock/unlock.

After you do this the only display problem that subsist is when you change from portrait to landscape, screen goes black for a half of a second before rotating.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azertouf:
I didn't try that, I will but it's not an acceptable solution ;)

I really don't understand why some tablets have this problem and not all.

Maybe the Tablet origin ?

As I see you're french (me too), I bought it on rueducommerce. Same seller or another ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Just flash another version of CWM that doesn't flicker, there are many versions of 5, doesn't matter which because in the end the ICS installs it's own CWM later.

Yeah not acceptable but no choice actually.

recovery rolling on p7510 with twrp 2.2.0 flashed

Noob - I've looked around a ton here trying to find some help with escaping recovery mode when the screen is rolling like this and just haven't had any luck at all...

So I flashed CWM 5.5.0.4 and went into recovery mode on my perfectly stock p7510 and got the rolling screen. I was able to see enough of the interface to reboot and was fine again - figured (stupidly now I'm seeing) that twrp 2.2.0 might not have this problem. So I flashed THAT recovery system and I'm still scrolling...however, because it's a touch screen interface now I'm pretty jammed.

What can I do about this? Is there a way to push through a reboot command?

UPDATE: WOW, I managed to peck my way back to Honeycomb. CRAZY. Going back to the "fix the scrolling screen" threads.....

Recovery Screen Scrolling

Hi, I just installed ICS on my GT-P7510 Galaxy Wifi Tablet but if I go into the ClockWorkMod recovery screen it scrolls incessantly (trying to re-root the tablet). This is the ICS Firmware/build P7510XABLPL_P7510UELPL_HOME.tar.md.5 that I installed. The device was rooted but not anymore after flashing from Honeycomb using Odin3_v1.85. I've tried installing recovery.tar.md5.....no luck......I tried installing ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx.....no luck screen still scrolls. Can I even install anything via Odin now that the tablet is no longer rooted? Am I able to restore the tablet back to it's stock ROM? Am I able to do it through Kies? The tablet works on ICS as far as I can tell but I sure would like to root it again or have I in a sense "semi-bricked" it? I am a NOOB and would REALLY appreciate any feedback to get me out of this jam. I have read other posts about screens scrolling but nothing about it being the ClockWorkMod screen. Thanks to any and all who reply.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmatt604:
There are solutions for this. The easiest way that I have seen for ICS is to flash pershoot's bootloader variant and CWM recovery.

Go here: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/ and download the bootloader and recovery tar.md5 files. Flash them both via download mode with Odin and you should be fine. Come on back and let us know how you made out.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenofexos:
Hi. I have the same issue as you, but with an P7500..

You can easely restore your device with ODIN and P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5 (ICS4.04).. So no problems there..

But the problem with screen flickering remains.. Plz let us know if this solution worked for you..

I do not know if I can use this solution, as it seems to be for P7510 only..

Which cwm version is that and is it good for stock?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmatt604:
It's the latest release from pershoot for CWM non-touch recovery. Last I checked it was 6.0.1.2 but that was just about a week ago.

I downloaded both tar.md5's and flashed them both - bootloader first, rebooted, rebooted into recovery, flashed new recovery, done. I was on stock LPL at the time. Hope it works out!

EDIT: I've been working on getting a crisp list of steps together for a new FIX post with bugs9477 and will post that at some point this week. It will be specifically for ICS because everyone here now knows how to fix the roll for HC.

Before you give up, try flashing the attached file "ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx.tar" via Odin. BUT instead of putting it in the PDA section, load it in the BOOTLOADER section, then flash. This solution WORKED!!!!!!!!!! A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE to brGabriel!!!:good::cool:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmatt604:
Glad you got it worked out! FYI the recovery.tar.md5 is the CWM 6.0.1.2. If you flashed it and rebooted into recovery you'd see the version # at the top of the recovery screen.

Further, if you're flashing stock firmware via Odin (not a flashable ROM file, the stock firmware tar.md5) it will automatically wipe and relay the partitions for the entire tablet - /data,/cache,/system (the ROM itself), /sdcard (all of your storage), bootloader, all of it. You start completely clean when you go that route.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brGabriel:
I appreciate the acknowledgement but I can't take full credit. I came across it somewhere while searching for a solution myself. It worked for me on stock-based ICS so I thanked the original poster. It should be noted that with that particular recovery, you may not be able to flash a CM9 or CM10 ROM until you've flashed the latest CWM recovery which you can get from www.droidbasement.com

Good luck guys
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] His Nibs:
So how do you know if it's stock firmware vs. a flashable ROM file? I downloaded this: GT-P7510_XAB_P7510UEKMP_P7510XABKMP_P7510UEKMP onto my PC in hopes that it is the original HC firmware I had on my GT-P7510 and was going to flash it back onto my GT-P7510 if the scrolling CWM screen issue couldn't be resolved. How are you able to differentiate on whether you should use ClockWorkMod (via recovery mode) to download ROM onto SDcard then install ROM off SDcard or use Odin to install ROMS?

Thanks once again for your assistance!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmatt604:
+1. You need pershoot's recovery AND bootloader variant likely before CM9 will work, I know that for sure because pershoot has said it himself in his own kernel thread.

That looks like stock firmware to me. If you download the zip from sammobile it's stock firmware. If the file name is something like P7510_XAB_P7510UEKMP_P7510XABKMP_P7510UEKMP_HOME.tar.md5, it's stock firmware and you should only use Odin for that. Flashing that will wipe your tablet completely clean, including the storage partition.

You will almost never use Odin to flash anything ROM related other than stock firmware. Custom ROM zips are and should be (imo) always flashed within custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brGabriel:
Yep. So, basically the simplest explaination is to browse the Android Development section: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1053 find an ICS ROM you want and download it to your tablet (it should be a .zip file). Then boot into CWM Recovery, and click "install from sdcard" , browse to the ROM you just downloaded (will be in Downloads folder if downloaded directly from your tab) and flash it.

If you're unsure, Task's ICS Rom is popular but there are several others

Is Pershoot's recovery the recovery.tar.md5 & 4.0.4_bootloader.tar.md5? And once you download the ROM onto your tablet and tap on the My Files icon if I see it under /Root I've downloaded it correctly?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmatt604:
Recovery is recovery.tar.md5. Bootloader is bootloader.tar.md5.

You will not flash the stock firmware from your tablet directly unless you are using Mobile Odin. You must use Odin to flash tar files...this includes the bootloader and recovery images. I use Odin1.85 on my PC and flash through my USB cable...I would recommend you do the same until you are more comfortable.

I highly recommend you review the how-to's and guides further in the General and Q&A areas before doing anything...it sounds like you may benefit from reviewing the information available...
