[Motorola Droid 3] Archolson:
Hey everyone,

I've done a lot of looking and was wondering if anyone knew how to give the D3 more than the standard 2 touch points. I know the DX2 and the photon 4g have mods out there for this and there has been updates to the Xoom to give 3 touch points. I would really like more than 2 touch points so that it is actually possible to play emulators on my D3.

Thank you.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
My stock Droid 3 has 4 point multi-touch already.....
[Motorola Droid 3] PM_mobile:
I also have 4 touch points on mine already.

But you can also play emulators on the phone with a ps3 controller (search sixaxis controller)
[Motorola Droid 3] Archolson:
Yeah, I have set up the six axis but my verizon d3 will only recognize two points or sixaxis buttons at a time. Any ideas as to what to try? Your help is appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 3] PM_mobile:
What's the exact model# XT862?

Also, What ROM? stock?

When I tested it, I had 4 points but I'm on CM9 on a XT869

Gonna test it myself on stock soon too just to compare
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
I could use all five of my fingers on fruitninja
[Motorola Droid 3] Archolson:
Okay, turns out it was the emulators I was running on both stock and darkdroid. I feel a bit sheepish. thanks for the help though anyway. PS the emulators were snes9x ex and a nesoid type. Figured out which emulators I could use though now and am good.

(now if only they could get BT to work on CM9 I'd really be set)

Hi everybody!

I was wondering if there is a way to install in "batch mode" apps from the market. Since I change rom very often, it takes me a lot of time to install over 200 apps, one by one, from the market every time.

Thanks everybody.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinRichard:
What abt Titanium Backup?

Why don't you use Titanium Backup? You can just use the Batch option to backup and then restore all your apps with data. (you should have the pro version for this). You don't have to depend on the Market (or the Play store) for restoring the apps. Titanium Backup even restores the apps with the market links. Couldn't live without it. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skynet.84:
Ok thank you for fast reply.... I already bought titanium pro but if I restore the apps from titanium, will they updated from the market? Or what happen with the purchased apps? Thanks you for your help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinRichard:
Titanium Backup Pro not only backups up your apps and data, but it also backs up 'market links'. So after restoring your apps, your market app will recognize the installed apps and you can update the apps in the future when you get any updates. And it will also work with purchased apps, so don't worry. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
My silly method for new roms .

Update apps on the market .

Update the Titanium Pro backup .

Do a Nandroid backup .

New rom .

Restore apps from TB .

Nandroid in reserve in case you want to go back to old rom .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skynet.84:
Wow! Perfect!

Now last question: i heard that somebody suggest to restore only the apps and not the data, because it can creates some problem for mixing old data with the new system. Is it true or i can go on in this way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinRichard:
You can restore Apps+Data for all your apps. No problem. But do NOT restore with Data for any system app coz your new ROM will have different system data. You don't have to worry about normal apps though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skynet.84:
Thank you everybody for your fast help!

Now I'll try this method to change my stock rom into the new Miui v4! :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] agnes00777:
I am with a Nook Tablet 16gb that was purchased with 1.4.0 and is now with 1.4.2. I was happy sideloading on 1.4.0, but now understand I have to go rooting...

I have been trying several methods, and just can't get it though. One problem is I am in Africa, and downloading 100MB images takes more than 2h and recurrently fails with size mismatches or other errors before the end :(

Now, I am sure I should be able get Indirect's methods work, but end up with some nothingness...:

1> Indirect's method one: "make a magic SD card to load up CWM, and root their device"

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14

I go through all steps with no problem, run CWM. However, for the last step to install zip from CWM:

- I guess it refers to the CWM_SD_flash_and_exe.zip again? It tells me fail to install, and the log says ""failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: no such file or directory""

- I also tried using NT-CWM-SD.zip provided elsewhere by Sprint (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466583à), same thing

2> Indirect method two: "How to root 1.4.1 (or any other version) using just an sdcard {easy}"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466583

I tried the 1st (non windows) approach, that was creating a partition on the SDcard myself (did with Acronis Disk Director Suite, worked well),

I did the partition, copied the required files on the root of SD card, got CWM running. But then, the tutorial says:

Now you just need to download this zip file:

http://goo-inside.me/apps/Indirect/N...s_and_root.zip

just put onto the /mnt/media/ directory or you can push to /emmc/ while in CWM.

I am not sure I understand these instructions... I got the Gapps_and_root.zip onto my SDcard root, used CWD mode to unzip & install it successfully.

After that I reboot... I think it asks me to reset the tablet (someway like I have no choice), and then opens the Nook wizard and I cant get anything else out of it.

3> CM7 alpha final

I am now trying to use the CM7 method through SD card (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481826) but dont succeed to download the required 120MB file... (Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img.zip)

=> So... any help or idea to get out of this?

NB: I am computer savy but not Android expert (though I killesed myself twice to install android market on chinese devices and learnet something), I can use a SDcard reader or USB cable but dont know to run ADB or alike. Again, I have trouble to download huge files!

Thanks a lot to help me... I am pulling my hair here already 3 days :mad::eek:

I understand the experts are on this forum, and hope to get some help or I ll get mad and my husband's Xmas present will go useless... (he is Mozambican and we found out B&N has no portuguese books! I need Kindle.. and few other apps!)

[MODS/HACKS/THEMES] Nook Tablet ONE-STOP-SHOP for CM7 | UPDATE! March/12

Hi,

I understand this thread is not supposed to be for newbies, yet I am not an expert, but every other method I tried failed (Indirect's method, etc, see here) and I am having troubles (from Africa) downloading big files, so this one I got and I am willing to try because I really need to get out of Nook rom. Though I'd love some advice :)

I am with a Nook 16Gb Tablet that I got with 1.4.0 and had sideloaded apps. Now it is on 1.4.2 and I have reset everyting in various previous attemps, so it is quite clean. Unrooted. I have a SD card, a disk partitionning software, and a USB cable, but no ADB.

My goal is, minimum, to be able load few apps (Kindle, a radio I like, etc), and if it is rooted and with access to Market, even better, then I'll do even more.

Luckily, I have been able to download the various files in this post.

My questions:

1> internal or SD ?

Which method you think is simplier and more stable?

2> Stable versions now?

It looks like these versions have started as beta, but been improved; Could they be considered stable now?

I saw there are other ones out there, but I could not succeed download them ("Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img_001.zip")

4> Requirements

Do I understand well there are no special requirements before starting that? Can be on unrooted device, 1.4.2?

3> reading the instructions...

I am not so expert and may need some help:

1. Download the file of the mod you pick

=> OK

2. Copy the zip file in the root (/) of Internal OR External SDcard (Pick one)

=> OK for external. But if you talk of internal, does it mean the tablet should already be rooted?

3. Verify md5 of the file >> ES File Explorer>Properties let you check md5

=> Is this step compulsory? How do you do that with an unrooted tablet and no ES file explorer in?

4. Boot into CWM

=> This I knew to do with Indirect method. Does it mean I should have done that before? Or the img file provided here will enable me do it ?

4.1 Go to Backup & restore>> Backup your current ROM if you haven't already

=> ok

4.2 Format system, Wipe cache, advanced>> Wipe dalvik cache

=> Is this step compulsory? How do you exactly do that, all from CWM?

4.3 Re-flash CM7 ROM

=> Does that just mean to reboot?

4.4 Flash the mod

=> Does that just mean to reboot? apparently not... then how?

5. Reboot your device. ENJOY!​

I am sorry for beeing so basic, but I am sure I ma not the only one...

Thanks for the precious help!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shwannode:
hi bodies,

i purchased a Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Note from amazon a week ago, which someone recommended in this forum. it's mark 2600mAh on the back of the battery, so, should be last a little longer than my stock 2500mAh right? but after a few cycles, i feel strange it looks like last only half as long as my stock battery.

i teared off the label whether this battery is good or not, see what i found, there is some code LS514664AR 1750MAH. 2011/12/19.

accoding to my mechanical engineering experience, LS514664AR is the serial number of battery cell, and 2011/12/19 must be the date of manufacture, and 1750MAH is the real capacity of the cell, which means this battery is 1750mAh.

much more less than the 2600mah they marked, and also the 2500mAh original.

i was so disappointed with this company, they made poor products for us, and cheat us more over! i will never trust this company again, anyone else have their batteries? just tear off the label, you can see what you get.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
You shouldn't trust any battery, even one that says OEM, from Ebay or Amazon. Especially when they are charging $10 for what should be a $25 battery. When I see that I always order 2 because I know they are fake and will not last as long.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
I got two of those Hyperion batteries and a wall charger off eBay for $25 shipped. Even if they are 1750mah, they won't damage the Note they just wont last as long. After SEVERAL cycles they are lasting me 4-5hrs of steady use, which for $25 is worth the money for an emergency backup(s).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deeken:
I agree 100%. People are foolishly buying these cheap batteries thinking they are getting a great deal but what they are getting is cheap counterfeit battery that doesn't perform as well as the original and could do damage to the phone.

Be smart people, pay the extra money and buy your batteries at legitimate vendors, your mobile provider or Samsung directly. If one of these cheap batteries happen to explode and leak all over your phone you can kiss you warranty goodbye.

The OP should write a negative review of the product on Amazon and post pictures of the counterfeit battery backing his claim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frypan:
Arent people just asking too much? If they dont mark it high enoigh will u buy? And if there are no non-oem companies around, will u complain oem charging 30 bucks for same capacity battery? Though i agree company shouldnt mark high, but at the same time these companies.need.to be around to keep cost down. Else oem charging $100 for battery is justifiable (like apple!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synapse777:
I have a 5000mah hyperion battery for my galaxy note, and I ripped off the label and it says "1500mah" directly on the battery... further peeling of the sticker shows what appears to be 3x1500mah batteries under the shell.. so 4500mah on a 5000mah advertised battery.

I'll post pictures later but it says:

1500mah

I also purchased the Hyperion battery pack, and the only problem i have had with it, is that the charger broke 2 weeks after i got it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shwannode:
it's two inside, if you compare the thickness of your OEM battery, you will find hyperion 5000mAh seems doubled, which means 2*1500mAh=3000mAh.

Question, did you buy your battery directly from Hyperion, or some third party vendor?

Reason I ask, is since someone has mentioned, and I've also have seen it suggested on some youtube videos, that because it has some slight name brand popularity as an inexpensive alternative, third party vendors could make even cheaper copies/knockoffs.. To get more sales?

I would be more weary and ready to warn about the vendor you ordered from. This is just a suggestion, for all we know the actual Hyperion battery manufacturer maybe the culprit. IMHO YMMV

Guys, stop buying stacked batteries (two or more wired together to make a single unit).

Im an ecig user and the dangers of stacked batteries is not worth the risk.

Stacked batteries can explode or leak if the current drawn is too high or they are charged too quickly. And my guess is, no warranty is going to cover this.

The only battery I trust is Seidio for extended batteries (but they do make standard size batteries as well). But if I want just another spare battery, go to ATT / BestBuy and spend the extra few $$.

I just got a Hyperion 3500mAh battery for the Motorola photon.

The performance and most importantly charge time with a known charger indicate that it is in fact a 2200mAh battery.

I was disappointed by the deceptive advertising, labeling, and bait and switch.

For the price not bad for a 2200mAh, but I hate the deception, so I am going to shout it loud and far across the web, so people know that what they are getting is not in fact a 3500mAh battery, but is a 2200mAh battery.

Hi,

So looked over the various posts and used the search. My question is really around the performance benefits of install a custom ROM vs the current Amazon ROM.

I read a fair amount of PDF's/magazines via edPDF, and i hate the lag when going from page to page, does a custom ROM help with that? The only other thing i used the kindle for are my book, which i see i can just download the default kindle reader and videos.

So given the above any help? If the performance is better which ROM should i go for?

thx
