Hey guys, my play came with the stock Android keyboard, and by using another stock rom I was once able to use the stock xperia keyboard, and it was great. I'd really love this keyboard back, and if someone could post the apk and or make a flashable zip that would be very awesome.

Thanks in advance

Awesome! wawsn't looking to go back to swype, ive been using the old style 9-button flip phone style board, but i will definetly use this now. Thanks!

EDIT: Well, would have been cool, and i suggest other Plays try it, but since i'm using the codename android ROM (derived from aosp) I cannot use it. This is because this keyboard depends on the SE framework to run.

I flashed back to Rocketrom GB V23 after the eMMC HARDBRICK warning.

My previous rom was Criskelo V2 ICS one

Is is possible to check the condition of the eMMC on the Samsung Galaxy NOTE?

I tried in terminal emulator:

su

(to gain root permission)

Than type in

cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/name

and got result: VYLOOM

I don't know what result i should get on a healty eMMC

anyone?

I'm interested in this as well. Does anyone know how to run a full-scan of the EMMC to identify any possible bad blocks/sectors that have occurred?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgaBimbam:
+1 to this thread, also i got that VYL00M. is it possible to check if emmc is broken or not
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latoc:
I'm interested also, but I think we need not worry too much. If there is a bad block, the firmware will mark it as such and it will not be used anymore. The only consequence is a lower available storage space.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
I've read that typing "dmesg" through the terminal will reveal any bad blocks. I'm not sure if this is dependent on a properly configured kernel or not.

If you want to output it, you can do "dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt".

I found several interesting links for other methods....but so far, here's what my homework gathering has turned up.

I recommend that you only READ through those links and do not attempt to try them as they are for completely different phones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgaBimbam:
i think also if you see at cwm recovery this:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

your emmc is broken ^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmaddcatt:
Nope, if your eMMC is broken your phone won't boot. Something else is amiss if you get those errors in recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgaBimbam:
oh ok thanks for the info. By the way if i have reset binary count, no yellow triangle and if i would fck up emmc, will warranty will be valid or no? ;D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmaddcatt:
No, they'll have no way of checking. It would just be faulty eMMC from their perspective. With other words: warranty will be valid if phone contains stock rom for your region with no root off course.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hykhleif:
dam are u sure about that, because i get this message in cwm, but i flashed back to GB and runs fine, are u sure about the above which happens to me when i try to wipe dalvik cache, but when i select dalvik cache it wipes it.

again please can u confirm your statements above
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmaddcatt:
@hykleif, don't worry about it. As long as it boots in gingerbread your Note's fine. I always had to select wipe dalvik twice to get it to wipe even before the ICS repacks. The errors stated in the previous post might as well be an error in CWM included in specific kernels. I've had the errors since i switched to speedmod 2k11-12 wich has khoush's CWM version, unlike Chainfire's CWM version wich is included on most kernels. For example i've never had the error on the Franco versions 3 to 10.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyberdutch:
Thanks, nice research.

Checked dmesg.txt, no bad blocks messages in there. so i recon my eMMC is healthy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abagnale:
nope. imo it has something to do with the external sd card ;)

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

I think I have a solution to see if you have any bad blocks.

When I was a HD2 owner it had a two types of nand memory, one of them was Samsung (yea weird but true). And it was harder to make a bad block on Samsung. I run a test to see if there are ant BBs after flashing hundreds of roms, results - 0 ! So it is a good news for us ;)

Ok guys so here is what you can do to test Note for BBs. I didn't try it myself so I'm not sure if it will work:

-Do a standard procedure of flashing a new rom.

-Do not reboot!

-In cwm menu go into advanced -> error report

-a log txt file will be copied on your sd card

-Mount USB SD

-On your computer navigate to your drive.

-Look for a folder called: clockworkmod. (If you have external sd card look there)

-10) Inside you will find a file called: recovery.log

11) Copy this to your Desktop.

12) Open with Wordpad or Notepad++

If anywhere except "system/xbin/badblocks" you can see something that says "bad blocks" you probably have them.

Hope this will help you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
That test is not representative. It is dependent on how much space the ROM used up. For example, if it only wrote to 250mb out of say the TMOUS HD's 1 GB internal ROM space, it would only report if it had difficulty writing to the 250mb portion of it I think.

I do not think it is a representation of the entire 1 GB. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on this.

If I'm right, one easy way would be to simply flash a ROM that has been modified to use all of the phone's internal storage (or at least close to it) in terms of app storage. Only then would the test be a good indicator of bad blocks.

Update2: New version 0.5.0 out, should support Android 2.1 and up now, along with a few extra features. More info at: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26067435&postcount=78

Update: Featured on Redmondpie!

So I made my first app, an magnetic field sensor (aka metal detector). It's nothing too spectacular, but I thought you guys might find it useful.

But there are already a ton of metal finders on Play, you might say. Most similar apps on Play right now looks like they're made for Android 1.6 or ads-packed, so why not release my own take on it without all the gimmicks.

There are also some great comparable apps out there, but a little competition can't hurt . It also works through walls, so I guess you can use it to detect hidden electrical wires.

You might wonder what you can do with this app, except the obvious metal detecting business.

Features:

-Displays the field strength in microtesla, milligauss or in gamma.

-Export the data to a CSV file, do anything with it

-Vibration alarm

-Free and No Ads

-Option to force screen on to prevent screen from closing

-A historical chart

-Optimized for Ice Cream Sandwich/Holo theme

-Works on Gingerbread and up. (version 0.5.0 : Android 2.1 and up)

The app looks great on ICS, with a native feel to it. It's also free of bloat like Payware or ads, completely free!

For download/screenshots, check it out at Google Play Here!

Happy metal hunting! Would appreciate any constructive comments or crashes that you may have ;) A rating would be awesome as well.

[Android Apps and Games] Jumpin' Jon:
Interesting app. Works fine for me - no FCs - on my SGS2 with CM9 Nightly.

But, I'm not sure I understand what it's showing me?? What grabbed my interest when I saw the front page article about this app was, I wondered if it could be used to find wires & pipes in walls - been meaning to get one of those dedicated devices from my hardware store for a while.

But, if I wave the phone around near blatantly metal items, e.g. a radiator, it barely registers. I do see an increase - from about 40 uT up to about 55. Is that because the upper limit of the graph indicates MASSIVE magnetic fields (the Tips screen mentions fusion reactors)?

Thanks,

JJ

(Also, minor typo in the "other tips" section, in the 2nd paragraph you mention the "Fore Screen ON" option)

[Android Apps and Games] .coomb.:
If you look close, you can see the app icon looks like it sits in a square frame, so I think it should be fixed and maybe make the icon look a little smaller. It looks a bit too big and strange in my app drawer, but this last issue could only be me :p

Also, I think the main screen should be non scrollable, that means that all the information has to be right in front of you without the need to scroll down. I don't know if it's a matter of screen size or resolution, but I have to scroll a bit down on my Galaxy S (480x800 px) too see all information.

Hope this helps, bye!
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
Excellent points! I'll see if I can implement display independent layouts for the next version, it does get to be an issue in smaller screens.

For the icon, I'm not very much of an artist, but I'll try my best :)

Hey icechen1,

I just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your app! I very much appreciate your decision to make it free and ad-free.

I also wanted to inform you that I saw fit to post an article on my blog about your app. It's got a bit of humor mixed in, but overall it's a very informative description of your app. I figured you might want to check it out. Here's the link:

This. Is. Awesome.

It actually works quite well as a poor-man's stud-finder, although it doesn't have quite the vertical range as a commercial unit (i.e., you pretty much have to be right over a nail).

Really cool app though. People are gonna think I'm nuts waving my phone around, seemingly without reason. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
Glad to have helped!

It would be great if the sensitivity could be increased, I agree. However, currently it's physically impossible. :(
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
Sorry, missed your reply. In a nutshell what the app does is to measure and display the strength of the magnetic field, which is not always indicative of metal. Now, metals emit a somewhat weak magnetic field compared to magnets(they emit massive fields, thats why they attract metals).

Sadly the sensors in most android phones are not very good at detecting small magnetic fields, and there's probably nothing I can do.

A strength of 200uT, or a high reading like that, is usually given off by magnets, or a large lump of metal, a radiator should give off a bigger reading than 55, I am unsure why it did not. Maybe there was a plastic/paint coating on it that could come into play? The app completely depends on the reading given off by the magnetometer, which wildly varies depending on the phone model.

As for the fusion reactor, they will use enormous amount of energy to continue its operation, and it will create a magnetic field while doing that. It is merely written in the help page to show perspective with regards to household readings.
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
Just finished version 0.5.0 should work on Android 2.1+ and feature some improvements suggested in this thread:

-retouched logo

-landscape mode (good for tablets)

-the graph should not overflow the screen anymore on small screens

-app rating reminder after a few days

-option to toggle a bigger chart

If there's anyone running on Android 2.1 - 2.2 please check this app out and let me know if there's anything wrong. The apk can be downloaded in attachment, or it will also be pushed on Play in a few minutes.

Let me know what you think. I'm also looking to localize the app, if you want to volunteer translating, you're more than welcome :)
