Wait - what?

This thread has me confused now...did I miss something?

I know i'm working some hard hours and many odd jobs when I should be sleeping to get travel funds together, but sorting out this thread is beyond my ken at the moment.

Did we somehow get overlap with another device? I see people with Glacier sigs - did the non-slide version info get confused into this thread?

Can someone explain it to me, my brain is whipped from work and not likely to be able to sort this out anytime soon...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Yea, I think arghhhh moved the thread to the wrong forum, when I reported it to be moved from the dev section to general. Reported it again...

REALLY wish I could become a forum mod...

I've asked so many times, but got turned down every time :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Don't sweat it man, it's not the kind of thing you ask for, but rather something you may get asked to do. This place is pretty chaotic due to it's nature - judiciously choosing the individuals responsible for its upkeep is the most important thing the administration can do to keep it running right.

I'd rather us have too few mods then too many, and we shouldn't need a whole lot as the community mostly polices itself.

I just don't have the brainpower to sort out this thread now, I was trying to get a glimpse at ICS on the doubleshot but fear that tonight has just left me a bit more confused then when I started on this one.

The next couple of weeks will be hectic for me, then my new job takes me on the road and i'll have a lot of downtime to sort this all out.

Also going to leave my failing laptop behind and use my signing 'bonus' to get a new machine, thinking one intended for linux as the primary OS as a dedicated dev computer.

If I can't find the time to get this straight before then, bringing myself through new kernel source and into ICS is my path once I get on the road. Meantime i'll just be looking a bit here and there.

Pm the mod that controls your forums ask him to move it . It has bounced around a few times. Anyways have a good weekend guys :)

Dear gtmaster303, I am searching for a "trackpad wake fix" for myTouch 4G Slide. I come accross your message above.

Do you still have such "trackpad wake fix" and please could you send to me by email? bfok@yahoo.com

Many Many Thanks to you!

Sorry, phone is long gone (do you realize this is from 5 years ago?). I would advise using a GSM sim slot modded Photon Q if you still want to use a QWERTY phone that's updated. Otherwise, there are no other phones to chose from
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L-ViZ:
Hey Guys, i´m coming from the desire z and got few small questions.

1. someone told me there´s no need to root the device, is that right or not?

2. do i need a kind of dev-bootloader?

3. which recovery is the best? / does the ext4 recovery exist for the nexus? really liked to work with it

4. got o2(germany), is there any recommended radio?

5. are there big differences between the roms? which one would u take? i personally would take cm9, because i used cm7 on my desire z, but e.g. android revolution got a lot of clicks, why do so many people prefere it?

for the moment, these are the questions that are in my mind, think in 2 days it´s gonna arrive, just wanted to make sure everything can ben realised as fast as possible when my new phone arrives :)

thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L-ViZ:
no one an idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
1. There are definite benefits to unlocking the bootloader and rooting. And if you ever had to, you can go back to stock. The great thing about the Galaxy Nexus is how very hard it is to truly brick, but dont try ;)

2. No, unlocking the bootloader is actually pretty simple. You will need Android SDK and the drivers installed on your computer

3. I prefer Clockwork Mod Recovery. Because its the most popular, it is also what most instructions are for

4. You will just have to read through some of the GSM radio threads. Updating to 4.0.4 is probably all you need though.

5. Yes there are difference between ROMS. I am currently using AOKP Milestone 4. CM9 is certainly great with a lot of feature. ARHD is more to the stock feel. Its not going to have as many feature as AOKP, CM9, or Gummy, but it is a very smooth ROM. Honestly it just comes down to what you like in the feature list.

If you have any questions on how to do any of this there are detailed, near fool-proof, instructions here

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dropback:
Guude;)

1) Depends on what you wanna do with the phone. Mine is rooted;)

2) Not really

3) I would use CWM. Works perfect and is very popular

4) I always used the radio coming with the installaled Rom. And had no problems at all.

5) At the moment i use Gummy Rom. Tried Cm9 a few nightlies ago, but actually i like gummy more. Still some bugs (camera doesn`t work properly, but 3rd party cam apps do so i don`t care) and the battery life is great. Overall performance is also very good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L-ViZ:
thank you for your answeres :) gonna check the roms :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrednemo:
I was wondering if anyone can make the softkeys look like the barely visible dots that show up in their place in apps like the camera and the gallery? As long as I know which button does what, I don't need differentiation between them. Thanks for any help/info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustArchiee:
Yes its easy to do. Are you running stock? Can you link me to which ever rom you are on and I'll do it for you :)

Dude. This is a great little app. I don't know how many times I'm helping someone fix their phone through Gtalk and need them to go to a thread. So I go to tapatalk share the thread to my messenger then copy and paste the text into Gtalk. This makes that so much easier. It needs access to write to Google talk which I understand. All in all great idea and it works as advertised. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 4] Gengar1603:
I went and rooted my droid 4, and without knowing about safestrap, i started backing up and deleting apps with the free version of Titanium Backup. I now have a couple of apps that will not restore back into place, and i am unable to perform the upgrade. Since then, i have installed safestrap, and attempted to flash the rom at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508341, but all i do is bootloop on my safe system. Any idea what i can do to fix the unsafe side so i can apply the 219 update? Am i kinda out of luck until the fastboot files are released?
[Motorola Droid 4] warmpudgy:
try asking here

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565

this forum is nearly dead, like 5 people a day visit here, very few people have a droid 4

i wish i could help more, but im not very good at this, but there are more people there that could help
[Motorola Droid 4] gdeeble:
What I'd do is download the stock recovery files that Hashcode has put up, and make sure you have anything you want backed up, and try advanced restore and flash all 3 options. As for the boot loop, did you try to clear cache and dalvik cache?
[Motorola Droid 4] Gengar1603:
Are you referring to the [SAFESTRAP ROM] Stock MotoBlur 6.13.215 for Droid 4 at droidforums (forum won't let me post link) for hashcode's stock recovery? Or do you mean simply uninstalling the safestrap recovery from the safestrap app? I haven't played much with the stock recovery, so i'm not sure what 3 options you are referring to.

As far as the safe side, i wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache in the advanced menu, and done a factory reset... still bootloops...
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
I am having the same issue. I was recommended to unzip the stock rom posted and attempt either a direct or adb push install of those apk's that are missing. Someone did this one by one and was successful in installing the 219 update.

You could attempt to install the stock rom through safestrap to get the update. please make sure that you are at full 100% charge as most roms wont flash correctly with less. I recommend getting full charge and flashing while still plugged in.
[Motorola Droid 4] rumgool:
Hey guys, so what exactly is going on? You are missing apks on your main system, and your safe system bootloops?

So, your primary system functions, it just is missing bloatware, preventing you from updating? I just want to be sure I understand before making a recommendation.
[Motorola Droid 4] Gengar1603:
Welp, i got some good news, i got the main system fixed and then updated. I took a stock 215 rom, extracted the /system/app folder and the system/build.prop to the sd card. Then i simply copied the contents of that folder into the /system/app on the root of the system with a file manager (used estrong's, other file managers that support root should work.), copied the build.prop to /system, and then did the update OTA. I lost safestrap and root, but i was able to reroot with moto fail... i have not tried reinstalling safestrap yet, nor have i mess with the bloatware like i did last time.
[Motorola Droid 4] jnc8651:
I sort of did the same thing. I downloaded the rooted stock from and unzipped it. I then rebooted and manually tried to install the update and noted what files needed to be restored and then I coped them to dropbox then moved them to /system/app and it worked
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
I attempted to move the files but got an error when doing so saying I could not move them to the folder. The only file I seem to be getting the error with is backupassistantclient.apk but that might be because it is getting to that first and erroring out. Does Astro not support root to ove the files in /system, etc?
[Motorola Droid 4] mrbidjey:
Why don't you just flash it back to stock instead of messing it up more. I got a thread up here on our to do that.

I was playing once like that with the Nook Tablet. It took me 3 weeks to fix it. I hope you don't fall under the same crap with your phone
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
I will try to flash the stock Rom via safestrap and update. Thanks mrbidjey
[Motorola Droid 4] jy3ng4:

Ok guys, Bit of a problem here... I'm stuck in a boot loop after trying to flash the android revolution boot.img, now i've tried to restore to a backup, but it still sticks in the bootloop. I've tried to flash via fastboot with "fastboot flash update Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_4.0.0.LITE.zip" but im getting this error "c:\android2\platform-tools>fastboot flash update Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_4.0

sending 'update' (347972 KB)... OKAY

writing 'update'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"

Any help? :confused:
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
After flashing boot.img, it's always a good idea to fastboot erase cache, or go to recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Then you will have no problem booting.

Sent either from my Arc or One X using xda premium
[HTC One X] Stuart.upton666:
Do you know how i can push a file to the sdcard to i can flash it? I cant flash it through adb.
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
Current clockworkmod recovery doesn't support USB mounting so you cannot push any file when you're in recovery.

What's your situation now? You can go to recovery right?

Revert back to your nandroid and flash also the corresponding boot.img. Then erase cache as I mentioned before.

[HTC One X] Stuart.upton666:
Whenever I try to restore my backup i get stuck in the bootloop.

What about pushing files to the sd through adb?

I've tried adb shell mount /sdcard but its coming back with no devices found.

I've got all the drivers installed but still nothing
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
Pushing files to sdcard on the current recovery doesn't allow it from what I know. You could do: flash stock recovery, then lock, run RUU for your device. You can unlock again after that. Of course do those things as a last resort. Visit dev section first, a couple of thread there deals with this kind of issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knight4led:
So what sort of data speeds are people seeing on their GSM Nexus on AT&T? I know this thing has the 21mbps HSPA+ built in, but do you ever see even close to that on AT&T? (I recognize data speed varies by area. I'm in DC, and I usually saw between 3-7mbps on my Infuse)

I ask because with Google now selling the Galaxy Nexus for $399 it has become a competitive buy. I still have time left to return my Galaxy Note which is only $100 cheaper and extends my contract. I do love my LTE speeds though, since I am frequently seeing 40mbps or better speeds. Better development and true AOSP support are enough to woo me away from the Note if data speeds are decent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4ktvs:
Your speeds are not likely going to be any were near 40mbs or even 21mbs. The best I ever got was 12mbs on my S2 and that was at 1AM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There are already expansive threads on this.

The speeds depend on so many factors. For a 21mbps HSPA+ radio, you can expect real-world

maximum

speeds to be about 60% of that. I'd say the best speeds I've seen in this thread for AT&T users is 10mbps down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knight4led:
I did some searching and couldn't find tons of threads on this in general or q&a so I asked.

The speeds you stated line up about what I saw prior on my Infuse. I hope someone from the DC area can chime in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
As mentioned before lots of factors. Generally expect faster speeds at night. Atnt specific apns might help speed some. And generally don't expect speeds faster than 5mb/s. Day or night. The gnex is capable of handling anything Atnt is throwing out right now.

sent with 3g courage. better recognize. 4g courage coming soon. stock up on diapers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] soshite:
So, my question is, why do we want the 3.0 Kernel for Nook Tablet again? From what I recall, there were absolutely no changes from kernel 2.6 to 3.0, other than the naming. Only the "alpha-manliness", and the shuffle of old drivers or something along those lines.

Any Ducati stuff is provided in acclaim_update.zip isn't it?

Anyways, if someone could answer that, that'd be great.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Prof. Penguin:
Ok, I am not part of the dev team and I got my NT too late to have read the original reasoning behind development of a 3.0 kernel but after a bit of research I think I may have at least part of the picture.

The main reason for the development of a 3.0 kernel is to gain access to the Ducati hardware integrated into the OMAP 4430 that the NT uses. With the 2.6 kernel we can use only the dual core Cortex A9 part of the processor but if we can develop a Ducati driver it will allow use to use the Cortex M3 dual core (four cores total) for hardware video acceleration.

This is proving to be a challenge because TI will not release the source for the Ducati related kernel elements; they will only give us a binary version which is crippled for our device because it uses the wrong watchdog timer (GPtimer 11 vs GPtimer 10 which we need).

This all requires Kernel 3.0 because the binary for Ducati is built using this kernel. Aside from that, ICS is built for the 3.0 kernel branch and we should be keeping up (if not one step ahead) if possible.

That is what I've gotten so far but if any devs want to step in and correct, clarify, or add anything else, please feel free. Thanks guys for all your hard work!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Android ICS v4 was build upon kernel v3 and also the framework (api's)

It provides some elemental changes over Gingerbread like HWA of the gui so in plain words it takes the burden off the cpu and uses the gpu like Nvidia VDPAU (Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU

And Windows DXVA V2

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc307941(v=vs.85).aspx

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX_Video_Acceleration

Hardware-accelerated 2D drawing

All Android-powered devices running Android 4.0 are required to support hardware-accelerated 2D drawing. Developers can take advantage of this to add great UI effects while maintaining optimal performance on high-resolution screens, even on phones. For example, developers can rely on accelerated scaling, rotation, and other 2D operations, as well as accelerated UI components such as TextureView and compositing modes such as filtering, blending, and opacity.

As everyone thinks that no changes where made on kernel transportation to v3 from 2.6, later on many arm optimizations where sync to git from different sources that help to make the v3 kernel more feature full over v2.6.

For starters,

Linaro is pushing more and more advancements to the git for v3.

Ubuntu decided to support arm hardware in Server and Userbase because of those changes.

They are putting out a Plasma tablet with Arm Cortex A9 cpu 512mb Ram with kde Plasma interface as well as pushing theirs code onto the git also.

So in the v3 kernel we see things done right.

Another proof that kernel v3 done miracles to arm is the XBMC project.

Now we have an xbmc version for arm also.

This is no coincidence at all.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomn:
An important factor to all this is that Android does not run on a stock Linux kernel. The source code for each Android release also includes a large number of Android-specific changes to the Linux kernel, including custom features and even entire subsystems. Each release of the Android OS is developed hand-in-hand with a specific kernel version and its changes, and ICS was developed around a modified 3.0.1 kernel. Using an older kernel version could potentially require work in patching newer changes into an old kernel or hacking in workarounds instead of just focusing on drivers. This is why most ROMs aren't just jumping straight to the newest Linux 3.3 either. I don't know any specifics about what changes are important though

Many drivers available from all these outside sources have been built around this same Android 3.0.1 kernel version too, so the chances of issues are much smaller if you stick to the same version

Also, to clarify about the Linux numbering: you're correct that the 3.0 version itself didn't include any big changes over 2.6.39 so as to keep the focus on simply replacing "2.6" with "3" while sticking with the same development process. However since they started the 2.6 branch many years ago they have constantly added new features, new frameworks, and all kinds of significant changes in the 2.6.X/3.X sub-versions as the code became ready. There wasn't simply a 2.6 kernel there were many 2.6 kernels, and it changed a lot over time from the initial 2.6.0 version just as it continues to evolve with each 3.X version
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] soshite:
Sounds good. But the nook Tablet is running Gingerbread, and it gets Ducati features. Doesn't that mean a 2.6 Kernel suffices the Ducati Susbsystem? Does moving to Kernel 3.0.x make it easier to crack Ducati? Hmm.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomn:
Ducati wasn't the point because as you pointed out it already works with the original kernel, and it not working yet with this 3.0 kernel is an unfortunate side effect of the real goal.

Moving to a newer Android kernel apparently makes it much easier to get proper graphics acceleration working for apps and general user interface components. This hardware acceleration of the UI is why ICS can feel so much smoother than Honeycomb or Gingerbread. Without the proper kernel I think they have to resort to dirtier hacks into the rest of ICS to make it run properly. I'm admittedly a little fuzzy on the details though
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Lets just say that moving to Kernel v3 will make full use of our hardware, something GB doesn't do right now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Aleq:
AFAIK Honeycomb has already the UI acceleration. But I haven't had any device with HC, is ICS really much smoother then HC? I didn't think so.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheForceUnleashed:
The thing is, Honeycomb is really heavy on the device. Honeycomb would be slower than ICS, as it would be ported and contains more contents than ICS. ICS was made to be the faster successor to HC.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomn:
I was mistaken and you are correct. However, something under the hood was definitely changed or tweaked in regards to acceleration and how it is used because ICS does feel much smoother and more responsive throughout than Honeycomb did
