Does anyone know how to obtain the unique PID from the Android Kindle app? It's easy enough to find this code if you own an actual Kindle but using the Android app the PID is proving to be pretty elusive.

I require my unique PID to enable me to read my purchased books from Kindle on my laptop using the Calibre program. Please does anyone know how to achieve this,

Thanks Tim.

I've just installed the new Revolution HD 3.2.1 and the latest Kernel 16b.

The tablet is very fast and stable now, no more reboots. There are only two things that happens and that's Dolphin browser crashes sometimes and when my tablet is off and I want to start it up, I have to use my power cable otherwise it won't start up. If I want to use the battery only it won't start up. Is the anybody else with the same issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackhouse:
how long are you holding down the power button waiting for start up?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilbertvanhaasen:
20 or more seconds. Normally it worked fine but lately it went from bad to worse to nothing!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbweller:
Same here

Mine is doing the same thing. I flashed another ROM (was using Revolution) thinking it was the ROM, but no. I have done a lot of reading and still am not sure of what is causing it. Some say the power button is wonky and the tablet needs to be sent back to Asus, but when it is booted up the button reacts just fine to sending it into and bringing it out of sleep. I am perplexed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilbertvanhaasen:
Exactly, the only time the button refuses to work is when the tablet is off and I want to turn it on when it's not on mains power. But as soon as I put the main power cable in the tablet I don't even have to push the button it just goes on :confused:

and if I want to flash something and I push the power button and the volume down button, it works. But the main power cable must be plugged in.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbweller:
RMA'ing mine

After researching until I was blurry-eyed I decided that it has to be a hardware issue. I unrooted following the Unlockr guide and flashed the most recent stock build (.24) from Asus's support page so I could send it in for service. (I couldn't get a download for the stock ROM from the Unlockr link and that's why I used the one from Asus...just unzipped main folder and moved to SD card from my PC, then inserted card into the TF101. As soon as SD mounted a notification popped up saying that there was an update ready to install.)

Also, another strange thing is that I can't connect it to my PC. It just says USB device unrecognized. I tried EVERYTHING and no luck. I really would have thought that returning it to complete stock would have solved that issue but no. Hopefully when it comes back I'll have that functionality back too. I have my doubts but we'll see. Maybe one of those custom kernels I flashed that were associated with Megatron's ROM did something with the firmware that flashing stock couldn't change. I really have no idea and I don't recall trying to connect to my PC with it while I was on Megatron's ROM so I don't really even know at what point it stopped working. I will say that it was my favorite ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
I am deeply sorry if this makes ppl angry, I am sure that there are several topics about this but I simply can't find them, ergo too much information no information..

What I want to do is to change some system apps before flashing the rom, I have tried by simply unzipping the rom, changing the apk and rezipping the file but it won't even flash.

I wanna flash mildwilds oxygen version but I want to change the launcher (lpp), music player (poweramp) and the gallery (quickpic), that's all..

thx for your understanding and help.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
doesn't make me angry at all, i've not seen a dedicated guide for this sort of thing, only picked it up from others. i now do this all the time, particularly with mildwild oxygen.

i would recommend using 7zip

- make a copy of the rom.zip, so you have something to compare, and a 'stock' backup in case you go wrong

- double click on rom.zip (which opens it, do not extract it)

- delete/replace system apps

- close 7zip to update the rom.zip

couple of other notes:

- don't delete important system apks, like settings for instance

- you can delete lots of other stuff, like languages you won't use(system/tts/lang_pico) and sounds (system/media/audio), saves a lot of space.

- i have found not all apps work on the system partition, they simply force close (don't know why). winamp, quickpic don't work for me, but most other stuff does like go launcher, go sms pro, jorte calendar, elixir. takes a bit of trial and error. you can always move them back and forth with titanium or something like SystemCleanup.

- once you've finished editing your rom.zip, you must make sure that your total system size is less than your hboot system size (<145MB if on cm7r2), otherwise it won't boot. you can check this with 7zip as it should show how big your system will be when extracted.

good luck, i find it more fun editing a custom rom before flashing...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
Thx a lot for your help!

I played with Ginger Villain 3.3 and I actually might be able to help you now:

Amongst other app I also moved apps like quickpic and poweramp and at first they gave me fc (like you mentioned) but then I updated quickpic via the market and restored (only the data) of poweramp with titanium and now they both work

:cool:

Some general tips to whoever wants to try this as well:

If you are on the Mac you can download Winzip for Mac since there is no 7zip for Mac and it's Mac clones don't allow editing directly in the zip file.

If you want to extracting .apk files from your Android in order to add the apks on another rom you can use EStrongs File Manager (source)

- Open ES File Manager

- Click on the menu button of your device

- Click on "Manager"

- Click on "App Manager"

- Long press on app you want to extract

- Click on "backup"

- Extracted .apk files will be placed on the "backups" directory of your sd card

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccpyle:
I realize this is an old thread, but it was the first result of my google search.

I've seen the force close problem and in my situation, the apk filenames had spaces in them. Once I removed the spaces, the apps worked fine. Just something to be mindful of in case you run into that problem.

posting here as unable to reply to any dev posts (new user)

I have a defy+ (the MB526 NOT a defy), got the lovely boot loop this morning and had to flash with an SBF file I found. details of my phone and the file are at the bottom of this post.

I cannot root this phone now: have tried every method I can find, from the german batfile to demonlord. won't do it. I have all the correct phone settings.

Seems i'm not alone, other UK users seem to be affected too.

The SBF file comes with BLUR as well... ugh bloat..

MY QUESTION:

where can I find a good SBF file FOR DEFY+ that works well on a DEFY+ that I can also root? i've searched much of these forums today and there are many garbled posts about DEFY+ on DEFY etc , and a few links where the file has been removed, so there seems to be no definitive place where you can get a link

to an SBF file on this forum for the DEFY+.

There *may* be some buried away in the threads about custom roms for defy handsets, but nothing that you can point to and go THAT ONE.

A friend of mine has Droid 3 on Verizon. I'm want to know what I need to do to flash a recovery on it so I can backup and flash roms on it. I'm not sure if I need a custom bootloader for it aswell. I found this thread with recovery as a sticky but it doesn't have much explanations in it. I also see you guys don't have a sticky with a guide anywhere besides just the one click root.

Can anyone point me in a direction?

Thank you.
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
On my phone so I can't give links. But you need safestrap. It's a bootstrap that will essentially allow your phone to boot into recovery even with the locked bootloader.

Safestrap is unique because it does not touch your primary system. You can back it up, but you flash everything to a "safe" system. It is ideal because no matter what you doing to your safe system, your primary will always be there. Even if you flash something that you know will brick your phone, all that will happen is that you won't be able to boot into your safe system. You can still load up your custom recovery and switch back to your primary system where you can download a different ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] obsanity:
So how do I install this safe strap and where do I get it. I assume this will also let me flash a custom recovery like CWM?
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
Everything you need to know on installing safestrap can be found here

There are 2 versions. One is the standard version in the link, the other is a "tweaked" version found on the forums here. While the tweaked version has a few extra features, from what I've read, it can be a bit unstable. Use the version provided in the link.
[Motorola Droid 3] crsdroid:
Yeah what he said ^^^ then once u have the safestrap you just download the rom u want and flash it and your good to go
[Motorola Droid 3] obsanity:
Ok. So far I can understand that the Moto Droid 3 has a locked boot loader which can not be unlocked. Correct?

I can understand using a bootstrap instead. Can someone explain what happens to your first system when the safe mode is turned on? Does it move the contents into the available internal SD card? What kind of memory is emmc? Also, I'm not clear on what is hijack. Is that just the initial hack from the apk on 1st system? I assume one can install it again in the 2nd system and mess things up.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
The 1st system gets renamed to systemorig and is otherwise left untouched. /reinstall gets renamed to /system and becomes your safe mode system. Im not 100% on hijack but as I understand it, it quite literally hijacks the boot sequence at a certain point by killing all the processes and inserting its own in order to give us a custom recovery
[Motorola Droid 3] obsanity:
OK. So why not just backup the original system and overwrite it? If the partition gets renamed why is there a need to keep it? Wouldn't deleting it give more room for roms? Is there even enough room for 2 partitions on the emmc?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
The whole idea was that you keep your original system intact so you can still receive OTA updates. I've never had an issue with not having enough room for roms. They are only about 150 MB.

Many of us actually use this to dual boot. The common way is to have a stable rom on your /systemorig and test new roms on safe system.

There is a plain old bootstrap that installs regular old cwr and just overwrites /system. Everything should be compatible with it. I think I have a copy of it in my dropbox

The main reason for using safestrap(in my view) is that when you're messing around in safemode its next to impossible to brick your phone so bad you can't access recovery, since when it first boots it still boots from /system, and then redirects to the safe system. You should never have to fastboot flash your phone
[Motorola Droid 3] obsanity:
So can you dual boot? And how do you boot into your orig 1st system? Don't you have to toggle the safe mode each time? Also, how much total room is there on emmc on D3?
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
try here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436380
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
The internal SD memory is roughly 11GB. The phone stores which system was last booted and then you can backup and restore between them though the SafeStrap pre-boot recovery. Once you try it, it's really simple and effective. I was hesitant to leave old faithful bootstrap, but now that I'm on safestrap, I wonder why I ever hesitated.
[Motorola Droid 3] obsanity:
So the 1st system is simply copied to SD storage when the safe mode is turned on?
[Motorola Droid 3] obsanity:
Also, do I download ver 1.09 which says Droid 4? I have a Droid 3.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
It creates a backup of /system and /data when you switch between safe and non safe. And I think also /cache. However as I mentioned before it renames /system to systemorig.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
It runs off the /preinstall partition IIRC. You should/can DL the original from Hash's blog or get Rick's tweaked version from the Dev section.
[Motorola Droid 3] obsanity:
I downloaded and installed ver 1.0.8 because the other 1.0.9 said Droid 4.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I do believe that's the correct version. I'm running a tweaked version that includes a bash console and a redesigned ui but its kinda buggy atm so for now I would recommend the one you've got

One other thing I should point out, as this is a common mistake, the first time you switch to safe mode you HAVE to flash a rom. Because you're now running off the /preinstall, there is no safe mode rom yet. A lot of ppl switch to safe then boot up straight away and all you get is a blank screen cause you're booting...well nothing

Also I'm not sure if you have a rom in mind already but mavrom is the only gb rom that still gets updates. Everyone else is deving ics, however all ics roms are beta and have more or less the same bugs/missing features
[Motorola Droid 3] obsanity:
I just did it on his phone. All worked OK. Thanks for all your help. I'm used to the nexus devices which are much easier and straightforward. I installed nightly CM9 from hashcode. I'm not sure what works yet. Is there a better version of CM9 besides that one? He really wants ICS and CM.
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
All of the ICS roms are currently limited in the same way: no HW codecs, bluetooth on but not connected = loss of audio, etc. There's a thread here in the general section that compares all of the ICS roms. I would advise looking through it and deciding which one suits you best.

EDIT: to answer your question, the may 7 build of Hashcode's CM9 is a good build. They just brought back the theme engine so that opens up possibilities.
