Hi SliPer -

I have cooked a CWM recovery for G1355 to overcome the restrictions and to provide the users with an interface they've always liked

http://www.mediafire.com/?a5ldlcojf8usakh

If you like it you could move it to the OP giving credits - I have to give you credit tough because I based my initrd (ramdisk) on yours which you have cooked for G1345

Note: Initially the recovery won't allow the user to select any menu item - to map the "power" button as a selection key keep clicking VOL+ until a message stating that "Back menu button enabled".

Thanks,

~Brightidea
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sliper123:
It's not a very good idea to use CWM Recovery for G1345 here, as G1355 has no select (camera) button. However the trick you've mentioned to overcome this works well. I've fixed some bugs in CWM 5.5.0.4, but have got little free time to finish this cleanup. But I'll do it as soon as possible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brightidea:
Agreed - I have patched the program "recovery" inside the CWM image so that the default is to have the back menu button activated.

This should serve as the only CWM based recovery offered for this device until you release your fixed one :)

Normally I don't have a problem locating this kind of info, but for TP CM9 it eludes me. I found the link with the tech speak generated list. But I need the info to be a bit more plain english. And couldn't find a known issues list. I would like to check this info to see if I would like to try it out on my TP.

Thanks much.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Known issues are basically the camera and mic don't work, some folks have wifi issues and some don't... and some have issues with the audio acting up when waking from sleep... I myself am happy to say I don't have wifi or audio issues... but camera and mic are driver issues that may never get to work. All in all very stable though
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StoneRyno:
If camera and mic are the only problems then I see no reason not to give it a shot. I don't know if I would ever use them.I was concerned that it was missing core functionality making it something one wouldn't use as a daily OS and only switch over to it for test scenarios and then switch back. I have cm9 on my Samsung epic (the one with hw kb). Would the current latest nightly be the one to go with?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sw339:
Just curious, why are the camera and mic drivers so difficult? I would have thought having them running on WebOS was at least some of the work. I guess porting said work to Android is a completely different ballgame.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekzer:
I wonder if the wifi/audio issues are still being worked on tho? Or are those of us with those stuck with em forever?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
The big thing for me was hardware video decoding. Alpha 1 fixed that for YouTube, and alpha 2 finished the fix for Netflix and others.

If you haven't already, check out the thread at rootzwiki.

I was using webOS by choice until CM9 came out. I switched to CM9, and have been using it as my daily driver since the very first Alpha. I never video chat, but if I wanted to I know I can just boot webOS.

Don't let people here tell you CM9 (or the Kangs thereof) are unstable. Some people continue to spew that we don't have a stable version of android purely because its called an alpha. I don't think it will graduate past alpha without camera/mic support, and that may never happen. Right now, without trying, I am sitting at 587 hours of up time on my TouchPad. I can't think of a better word to use than "stable."

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotherius:
Known Issues that I can think of. I know some were mentioned above, but all in one place is good.

Broken, NO FIX:

1) No Microphone

2) No Camera

Partial Workarounds:

1) Audio gets noisy with screen off. Kinda workaround: Turn volume down, only happens at higher volume levels. Or set screen timeout longer/always on while playing audio. No complete fix.

2) Wi-Fi dies or doesn't reconnect. Some people never have a problem, others do. Workarounds: First, set WiFi to always on so it doesn't turn off with the screen. Second, try changing the channel on your router, or if you have 2.4ghz/5ghz switchable, try using the other. If Wi-Fi still dies, toggle it off and back on.

3) Some people report that if the TouchPad fully discharges to 0% they have trouble getting Android to charge properly. Others report that if you reboot the device with it plugged in, sometimes it won't charge. I've experienced neither problem, but the best advice is, charge before the device shuts off fully, and unplug the charger/usb while booting.

Broken, but Completely Fixable:

1) Random crashes. Install CPU Master and raise minimum CPU speed to 384 or 416 depending on which works for you, and crashes go away. Also, don't overclock too much.

Setup Issues:

1) DPI is at 160dpi stock. This works for most things, except a few tablet apps and games will not work properly. Setting DPI to 120dpi fixes everything, but the display quality is not ideal. 132dpi is ideal, but breaks the market after a day or two. Most people use 160dpi or 120dpi.

2) The default launcher, Trebuchet, is NOT compatible with the 4:3 aspect ratio of the TouchPad's screen if you use any DPI other than 160. Why something so easily fixable has not been fixed escapes me, but you will quickly find you need a new launcher. Go Launcher HD is one of a few that are very friendly to the TouchPad.

App Issues (not really issues but you probably want to know)

1) A few apps really, really, really are picky about the screen size and just won't scale right. (see Trebuchet notes above). One example is Politico HD - it forces 16:9 aspect ratio and thus gets cut off. Some apps simply refuse to run. Contacting the developers rarely works. This is probably less than 1% of the apps on the market, however.

2) Some developers simply are too strict on app compatibility on the market, and whitelist only select devices. Getting compatibility from these guys is a longshot. Best option is to install on another device, grab the APK or use Titanium Backup to move the app to the TouchPad.

3) Some games (notably Gameloft is the worst) enforce device compatibility checks within the program itself and it will refuse to run unless you masquerade as an approved device by hacking your build.prop... which is not normally recommended.

Did I miss anything anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m0bstr:
does anyone have the background wallpaper for valhalla black???
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GeneralThadeApe:
I had the exact same problem as you did trying to get that wallpaper back...

I really do like it a lot & I think it's the best of the entire bunch that is included in that ROM.

The long answer to your question is in this thread, second post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1480248, which states,

How i can get the blue eye (or any other) wallpaper again?

Which ROM was it in? Do you still have the .zip?

- Pull the system/app/Launcher.apk

- Unzip it. Yes, apk is a zip file.

- Look in res/drawable-hdpi folder.

Although I did manage to open the apk file mentioned above, I did not see that particular image at all. I even tried a bunch of other files, and of course, it wasn't there, either.

Needless to say, I managed to find the wallpaper I was looking for on another of lumin30's posts and I saved it to my harddrive.

*************************************************************************************************************************

I stand corrected. If you follow lumin30's instructions, (written directly below this post), then you will indeed find that exact file. It is called, "default_wallpaper.jpg". From what I can tell, it's the only wallpaper that is in that file.

*************************************************************************************************************************

I know that some images need to be resized depending on the launcher that you're using. I kept having problems with my wallpapers fitting correctly when I was using Go Launcher EX.

I read around on the Internet & found a post suggesting an app called Wallpaper Wizard ii. It's available on Google Play Store for free. The good thing about that app is that you can use it on whatever image you want.

Before you give up, perhaps you should give that a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
The default wallpaper is found in the \system\framework\framework-res.apk.

Then in framework-res.apk --> \res\drawable
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m0bstr:
I tried the picture you posted but when I try to use it as my background, it's a blurry and not the whole picture
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I pulled it straight from the ROM for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:

@itzik2sh

Got any more backgrounds? I'm looking for brighter ones since all icons in VB are kind of dark. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m0bstr:
does anyone know how to put the whole background in?? because it forces me to crop it and i dont want that
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GeneralThadeApe:
Whenever I used Wallpaper Wizard ii, I just set it to "scale" & it looked good to me.

I can't tell you for sure what all that did, but I was satisfied with the results.

Good luck & don't forget to let us know if you find something that works better for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Put the wallpaper in framework-res.apk in the res/drawable-hdpi folder then reflash the rom :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m0bstr:
i found it, do i just post it anywhere in the folder??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
Couldnt he just push the .apk to /system/framework and boot to recovery and fix permissions? That would avoid having to reflash and download apps right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wojtal:
Installed and it works.

Can I use an A2SD script with it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sliper123:
If you're talking about partitioning SDCard in ext3/ext4 and moving apps to SDCard ext partition then I think it won't work because kernel hasn't been changed. If I'm not wrong this function should be supported by kernel to work properly and the stock kernel isn't able to handle ext partitions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexostaf:
Hi! May be I dont understand but for why it needed?

Root & busybox everyone can do by yourself…

What more?

Better will be if <entuziasts> doing for supporting by device of swap file, because it device is lowprice cause it RAM mem very small…

А теперь на родном ;-)

Почему бы не сделать возможность устройством поддержки свап?

Это было бы куда востребованее…

На смарте катастрофически не хватает оперативки для 2 приложений.

Очень прошу прислушаться к моему сообщению.

I think it may go away over night when the network processes but I'm not sure and the icon and notification for it is annoying.

Any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Call your voicemail. Leave a message. Then delete it.

Please help I can't install Galaxy on fire 2 as it cancels the download and says a "file read error please try again"

I am running ARHD THE NEWEST ONE
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RonDelgen:
I too am having this issue, though it could be just because I'm trying to run it on the TF300, which just came out recently.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Saav:
Same here. But since RonDelgen said he got the same error on the tf300 i doubt it's a incompatilibity error with ARHD. Maybe someone with stock ICS could try to install it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluecnc:
I have been playing Galaxy on Fire 2 for the last two days on my TF101. Stock, unrooted, .21. Only had one force close then after that stability. The latest update has fixed(for me) alot of the issues I have been having like force closes, bad game play and pixelated graphics. Because it is such a large file when I downloaded it I made sure I killed any unnecessary apps and had a stable network connection. Good luck. It is a great game.

After checking Fishlabs website this is a known issue which will be fixed soon. Sorry!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alizafar:
I think I found the issue

It's due to My tablet been rooted as the developers have a exploit of a sort in their app thus the game will not be playable on some rooted tablets, etc but as I workaround is downloaded them SD Files from the external sources and Voila! The game works!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] doug3673:
Nothing to do with being rooted. I have an unrooted Transformer Prime and I am getting the file read error.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluecnc:
Downloaded GOF 2

This morning I rolled back ICS .21 to ICS .17(US) and was able to download the game. Don't know if Fishlabs fixed the problem or if there is a compatibility issue with the latest firmware. Just thought I would pass this on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pyro254750:
I had been getting the file read error on ARHD with test 17c kernel up until yesterday. Yesterday it suddenly decided to download fine and has been working great ever since.seems that they may have fixed the problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goblygoop:
If you have a microsd in..try taking it out..or make sure its formatted to fat32 (not microsoft's default). I had the same problem, formatted it in linux as fat32 (was exfat) and downloading worked.

[Acer Iconia A500] bmcmillan85:
I'm using a 1st gen Iconia a500 and live in Vancouver BC (CANADA) and have yet to see an update. I know a few people in the area with ICS already, but why do some get it and others don't? (would be nice to have a smoother running device. )
[Acer Iconia A500] WateryFate:
I'm in the Interior of BC, Canada with a 1st gen A500 and I haven't received ICS either. I phoned Acer Support today - they said that the update is being released in batches and that April 27 is the first day of a one week release window.

Looks like it's possible we may not receive it until as late as May 3 or 4.
[Acer Iconia A500] crazymanc:
Same hear for me in the U.K 1st GEN a500 still no update
[Acer Iconia A500] amphi66:
If you haven't, make sure you visit the Play Store to D/L & install the recently released Acer Enhancement to the Acer Update Readiness Tool. It is a requirement for the ICS OTA notification.
[Acer Iconia A500] crazymanc:
Installed this weeks ago still no update acer releasing the update based on serial numbers of the tablets
[Acer Iconia A500] a_rocklobster:
How can you tell which Gen you have? Is it the "device version"? Mines 1.0
[Acer Iconia A500] CyaN1de:
Interior here as well and I got it.

Personally I would try and get the update tool uninstalled and reinstalled and see if that works.

Wifes tab was on HC 3.0.1 from time of purchase up until I rooted it, updated to 3.1, then 3.2, 3.2.1 and finally to ICS (all in one day) which entailed updating the Iconia Update tool after each successfull OS upgrade.
[Acer Iconia A500] bungaboy:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Iconia Update tool and still no update.

5 days of waiting so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rick Hall:
Have not received it yet either

I am in the Montreal area and have not seen any sign of ICS as of yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] crazymanc:
Settings About tablet and its under Build number will say COM_GEN1 OR GEN2
[Acer Iconia A500] photog:
Would you have a special Canadian or French Canadian version or the stock English versions which you could upgrade yourself by grabbing the update.zip file floating around.
[Acer Iconia A500] ciphan:
I also have a GEN1 A500 from Canada, specifically build Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1 and I got impatient waiting for the OTA update so I installed the Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1 update from the bottom of the first post on this page. I had no problems at all completeling the update and everything seems to be working fine with ICS.

The Op is actually linking straight to Acer's official update server with the ICS links in that post. Remember that if you choose to download these official ROM's you'll need to decrypt the downloaded zip file with the tool mentioned at the top of the first post and follow the rest of the instructions in the How to use full/update package in that first post as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sk8erbg207:
Right now my ROM is Hellfire phoenix, and I've been wanting to try one of the ICS ROMs. I didn't backup my stock of whatever when I put HFP on, but I thought to be safe I'd make a backup before I try ICS. So, how exactly do I make a backup?

Thanks for the help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] e4e5nf3nc6:
Boot into recovery. Backup/restore. Make backup.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Making a backup is also the same thing as making/doing a nandroid just in case you've seen that word around..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
Go into CWM, go to backup/restore and then press on backup and let it backup for you. Later on, make sure to re assure yourself by restoring the backup you just made.

I did my backups and later on when i went to restore them. I got MD5 mismatch, hence the backups couldn't restore. Was a hassle.

I just down graded my girlfriends evo3d and im wanting to get her back to What version she had before down grading and she cant text either for some reason
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
Downgraded what? from what?

In all honesty, the evo 3d on stock is an awful phone, god bless the dev's as i'd be pissed if they didn't do what they do.

Root and s-off your phone get a custom recovery and flash a custom rom, make sure to back up and choose the rom which most resembles her's, Leedroid does a good stock rom with enhancements.

Theres guides on how to do this in the dev section.
[HTC EVO 3D] wikedone:
She was on hboot 1.5 and down graded to 1.4 she has ruu 1.13 I think installed when she used to have 2.17 I was looking at meanrom but it says I have to update to the 2.17 firmware
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Go to this thread and download the zip. Rename it PG86IMG.zip and place it on the root of the SD card. Reboot into bootloader and it will automatically apply the upgrades to the 2.17 firmware.

You then need to remove the SD card and delete that file. Download MeanROM onto the card and then put the card back in the phone. Boot into recovery and flash the ROM following the directions in the ROM's original post.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
If you used to have 2.17 you should already have the latest firmware. Even after downgrading I didn't lose it. Now, the radio was a different story
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
That's why I suggested what I did: mainly so the firmware, radio, etc would all be updated so there would be no incompatibilities.
[HTC EVO 3D] wikedone:
Unknowns guide says to use the 1.13 ruu which it down graded the OS,when I got done downgrading the hboot and booted back up I was still on 2.17 but the guide said run the ruu so I did, but I well try what you said when I wake up
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Yes, you have to use the 1.13 ruu initially for the downgrade, but then you update to 2.17 and then install a ROM (at least that's what I did).
[HTC EVO 3D] wikedone:
That's what I did so far no problems other then her battery draining quick,installed the mean rom and her battery was at 64 percent and within 20 minutes she was down to 53 percent with no usage other then testing the texts
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Glad it worked for you :D! My battery sometimes drains 10% on a restart, so if you restarted during that 20 minutes, that might be why. Also, I've noticed that ROMs sometimes take a little time to settle in for some reason. MeanROM is usually VERY good on battery life (especially screen off), so I recommend recharging the phone and then testing the battery life. Also remember that the Evo3d is a beast and so screen on time is usually a few hours.
[HTC EVO 3D] wikedone:
yeah it seems like a good phone, but my sgs2 should be a battery hog to right? And it can last all day with me using it. Atleast 12 hours
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I don't know much about that phone. Does it have a bigger battery, slower processor, different screen size/type? All those could affect battery. Also, it's hard comparing different phone models. When I compare battery life I get now as compared to before I rooted, there is no comparison. My phone is faster with better battery by far. I get about 24 hours between charges with about 3 hours of screen on time.

I saw your post in the mean ROM forum. Their suggestions to reflash with Chad's super wipe first and to turn off 4g will help. 4g is a battery hog. Also try to lower brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
[HTC EVO 3D] wikedone:
I will try that, i'm just tired of hearing her nag and complain about it dying so quick,I wanna tell her well you picked the phone, but as all us men know if you correct a woman, the ***** comes out... But will try til I get something right
