in a few days I get a mk802

we must compile and run the kernel module uinput.ko

this is necessary to start DroidMote Server inside it.

with DroidMote this device would be the maximum.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Dear Everyone,

I've just wondered that why people are getting an iPhone, when there is the best of all Android? For example, I've adviced someone to get themselves a Samsung Galaxy S2. But ended up getting an iPhone 4S! I know that Android is way better than iOS, because of;

Here are some reasons;

1) I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 and an Apple iPhone 3G S

2) My cousin said that the iPhone is a disease (he has a Samsung Galaxy S2 and an iPhone 3G (not the 3G S))

3) T3 Awarded Phones (from 2009) are all Android.

P.S: you can share your opinions and ideas and etc.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Android Manual:
Several People buy an iPhone because

-It has that User Friendly UI (User friendliness make me angry LoL)

-Apple got known first in the smart phone industry. Android was second (I think?)

-Some People like the iPhone's look :))

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikpel:
It's the same thing as asking why people prefer apple computers over pc. People are different, what suits for other is not necessary good for everyone.

I think the whole industry needs competition so that we, as consumers, can always get better and better products. That's why it's good thing to see people buying both android and iOS phones. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benni:):
I think not everybody wants a phone, which is compicated, because you can change everything.

Many people choose a phone, because of the looks and the fact, that there is only one way, to do a specific task (it doesn't even have to be the best way - but one way)

And the iphone has great hardware.

I personally wanted a phone, where I am in control, so I chose Android
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
The funny thing is, in the late 80s and 90s and even into the 2000s Apple advertised themselves as the alternative to the mainstream boring beige cased PC. Nowadays the iPhone is likely the most recognizable smartphone and about as mainstream as you get. The vast selection of Android phones is the alternative.

Android needs Apple and Apple needs Android, competition provides a better and less expensive product for the consumer. Now if only Apple would play along instead of suing everyone that poses a threat.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Hello, i have used both, and i bear no grudge to either Android or Apple. I generally laugh everytime i read forums sections on articles regarding phone-tests on Android or iPhone. The flaming that Fanbois and Android lovers give eachother.. LOL they have no clue.

iPhone and Android both have their pro and cons. Neither is perfect.

Why i pick Android:

- OPEN SOURCE

- The fun of flashing Roms.

- Good selection of ROMS and phones.

- Utilities on Market are better than Appstore on Apple

Why i wouldn´t choose Android:

- Performance issues and bugs.

- Touch screen is not the best.

- Malware in market apps.

- Some apps sucks on Android that is way better on IOS

- Typing is not the best. Inaccurate at times.

- Flimsy build on many models.

Why i would choose iPhone:

- Lovely and solid built. The glass material on iPhone pisses over Corning Gorilla Glass in my opinion.

- IOS is very flawless in action. little bugs and demands less CPU to run.

- Great selection of games, iPhone runs them better than Android.

- Jailbreaking (opens up a better world on a otherwise very boring OS)

- Simplicity in use.

- Typing on iPhone is much more accurate on IOS than Android, that is because screen on iPhone is closer to your thumb than most Androids.

- Drag & Drop to phone

- Many smarter and well thought features in IOS.

Why i won´t choose iPhone / IOS:

- The build is just solid.

- Closed source (hooray Jailbreaking)

- Very very dull phone when not Jailbroken

- Utilities apps kinda sucks

- Outdated size, 3.5" screen is way to small today (bring on iPhone 5)

- iTunes and Syncing pretty much sucks.

- Everybody owns an iPhone..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david_hume:
First of all, I believe people choose the iphone over android because of brand name. More people are more familiar with Apple's iphone brand than Google's Android devices. Because of that, they choose to go with the brand they're most familiar with. Sort of like those preppy people whp always wear clothes from differing brands like Hollister, Aeropostle, American Eagle, etc.

Second is because Apple supports their older devices more frequently than Google and the other device manufacturers.

Third is because many people are technologically challenged and don't know what to do on their phone. For that, Apple's iphone definitely takes the cake in ease of use. Plus little kids can learn how to use the iphone quickly compared to using an android.

Fourth is apps because Apple has a LOT of apps (more than Android).

Fifth is probably due to looks because the iphone looks premium and most android devices usually don't look premium despite the price.

Finally, to end this IMO explanation, Apple generally has a fluid UI, which rarely lags and even games feel EXTREMELY fluid (in my experience with a friend's iphone). Android may be getting better, but it still lags behind a little more noticeably.

That's pretty much how I would see why people go for the iphone over Android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahu89:
Iphone is a popular trend..

And the mass majority of people don't enjoy tinkering with things to make them perfect. They want something easy to use and won't stop being supported by apple. Apple's entire concept is easy to use if the consumer is willing to give up control.

There are so many different versions of android and the main android will be old in two months. It is impossible to have the latest thing in the Android Market.

I am using a two years old Samsung but it runs like a champ on the rom and kernel. Stock would have killed me by now how slow it is. Not everyone wants to spend the time figuring things out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbeak:
In my experience with numerous tablets, and phones, my iPhone JUST WORKS. I like the itunes syncing concept, and the phone can always be relied on. My androids though....poor battery life with custom ROM's and kernels. Sometimes there isn't a root. (like the vizio vtab1008). With iPhone, you know that there are millions like you, and who are being taken care of by the few and the proud devs that always bring on the jailbreaks. Sure, android gives me so much more power. Like a strong russian woman! A very smart russian woman...and iPhone is like the all american babe. She looks good, but isn't as strong. When it comes to apps, iPhone has it DOWN. If you want a long lasting phone with amzing build quality, that JUST WORKS, and nothing more, then get an iPhone. If you want more power, and customization, then GO ANDROID!!!!!

I prefer android tweaks/mods/roms way more than IOS tweaks. Let me say this....the day that iPhone get sd card and an onboard recovery image, with open source IOS....then good bye Android lol.

Personally, I enjoy Android much more. +1 for android.

[HTC Sensation] iok1:
Hi all. I've been using my second-hand bought sensation for a week now. But i have one problem. I have to unlock it to actually be able to use it as a phone.

Why is this a problem? Well, i have followed a guide here on xda to unlock it and have acquired the unlock code. Thing is, the sensation does not ask for the unlock code.

The guy i got it from tried to unlock it himself using "diag" and "s65/s85" but he failed.

So my question is, how do i get it to ask for the unlock code?

Thanks :)

I don't know enough about the unlocking process to know if a complete stock reset would wipe the unlock and leave the phone relocked. But hopefully by me stating the possibility you'll see 3 answers shortly from people who do know nad you can either try it or rule it out.

What model is the phone and what provider are you trying to use? You might need to change the modem to do that look in the radio thread. The modem basically changes the frequency so you can use it on providers who uses a different one.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] perudrew:
Thanks to Koshu and all contributors for the CM9 port. It is amazing. I am finally using the tablet on a daily basis.

One app that I would like to work with the CM9 port is MyScript Stylus Mobile.

I have restored the app using Titanium Backup from one of my nandroid backups. The app restored without a problem. But everytime I try to run it (use it as an input method), I get the following error message:

Compatibility error. This version of MyScript Stylus if not compatible with this device.

So my question: Is there something that I can change in CM9 that would trick the app in to thinking that this is the stock Lenovo ROM? For example, could it be as simple as changing the device id in build.prop?

I can provide a logcat if that would help someone figure out what exactly the app is trying to verify.

Thanks.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] perudrew:
I pulled the build.prop off my nandroid backup and compared it to the current build.prop. Based on that comparison here are the list of items that are different:

ro.build.id

ro.build.display.id

ro.build.version.incremental

ro.build.version.sdk

ro.build.version.release

ro.build.date

ro.build.date.utc

ro.build.type

ro.build.user

ro.build.host

ro.build.tags

ro.product.model

ro.product.brand

ro.product.name

ro.product.device

ro.product.manufacturer

ro.build.product

ro.build.description

ro.build.fingerprint

**And this was not in the original build.prop

ro.cm.device=thinkpadtablet

Can someone help me identify what I can change without having any negative side effects?

For example, which ones are merely identifiers that have no deeper connection to the OS.

Of course, I am assuming that the MyScript Stylus app is just looking for some simple information (such as ro.product.manufacturer) as verification. So, if I change it back to the original the app will work.

Thanks.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] darkhandsome18:
Modifying the build.prop as far as I know is safe. In my case I've completely swapped out the whole build.prop when trying to get an incompatible game to work. I simply replaced the build.prop with that of a galaxy tab 10.1. I have also done this before on my galaxy s2. Its called spoofing the build.prop lol.

Anyway the bottom line is that its completely safe to modify your build.prop as it has no boot functions, so it won't brick your device. Just backup ur current build.prop and then replace it with the one from the original thinkpad stock rom.

The only issue you may have is if you have apps that depend on recognizing your current build.prop but since you're on a cm9 port I doubt that. So its safe. But backup as you may need to replace the build.prop when flashing a rom or update.

The build.prop is somewhere in the system folder (can't remember exact path but will check for u)

Overall, doing anything to your build.prop is safe and reversible but if you still want to just edit lines in it, it's still safe but I don't know what lines to edit to make that app work.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] perudrew:
Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out. I replaced all the values for the items in build.prop that I mentioned above using the info from the original Lenovo build.prop. However, the tablet got stuck in a bootloop after rebooting. The Lenovo logo comes up, but the image that comes immediately after that just keeps cycling.

I also wasn't able to push the backup build.prop file through adb due to permission issues. This was unexpected as the tablet is rooted (obviously).

So I just restored a previous backup using CWM.

Due to what happened, it seems like the boot sequence does verify something from the build.prop file. It seems like I am stuck until I figure out (with someone's help) what exactly the app is trying to verify - hopefully it isn't something that is also verified during boot.

Thanks, again, for the help.

Any other suggestions?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] darkhandsome18:
Like I said, swap out the build.prop file. Its possible that while editing the values, you made a mistake. Just copy the stock build.prop and use to root file explorer to replace it. If you are good with adb/terminal then that's a better option as you can use root terminal to replace the file. I'm surprised that you have issues when editing your build.prop because I'm on the cm9 port but using my galaxy tab's build.prop without any issues
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Koshu:
Did you try installing it from the market? In the past i had sometimes problems with restoring titanium backups to new roms, but thats app dependent. And could you find anything usefull in the logcat?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] perudrew:
Unfortunately swapping the file didn't work either. I got stuck in the same boot loop.

If you don't mind could you send me a link to the Galaxy Tab build.prop that you are using. That may help me identify what I can and can't change. Thanks.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] perudrew:
Koshu thanks for the input. I hadn't considered installing it from the market.

The app is only available on the Lenovo App Store - so I installed that and then installed the MyScript Stylus app through the App Store. Unfortunately, that didn't make any difference. I am still getting the exact compatibility error when I try to run the app.

I haven't seen anything obvious in the logcat that would point towards the verification that the app is doing. However, I don't really know what to look for. I will upload the logcat.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] perudrew:
Here's the logcat.

What I did while generating the logcat: I opened Dolphin Browser and switched the input method to MyScript Stylus. When the compatibility error came up I just clicked on "Close" four or five times, and then I clicked on "Change IM" and picked the Android keyboard.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] perudrew:
SOLVED

It turns out that all that was required was to change the following lines in the build.prop file

ro.product.model=ThinkPad Tablet

ro.product.brand=Lenovo

I decided to try changing only those lines after watching this:

youtube.com/watch?v=cssyIE4maZY

MyScript Stylus is now working perfectly.

Also -in case anyone is interested- after making this change to the build.prop, the MyScript Notes Mobile app is also working (had the same compatibility issues).

Thanks to darkhandsome18 and Koshu for the replies.

Alright, so I've got my TFP rooted and went to use the unlock tool via ViperMOD, which worked like a charm except for the fact that it wouldn't install CWM. Did as previous posts suggested and went with a factory reset through Settings, and now I'm back to square one.

Since I did a factory reset, is my bootloader still unlocked? I'm still rooted, but that's beside the point. Is there any way for me to check if my bootloader is unlocked?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wtfdroidlol:
I'll answer your question but I want you to answer one of mine. My understanding is that it will say that the boot loader is unlocked while booting and there is no"re-locking".

I haven't been able to unlock my bootloader with the app from the vipermod or downloaded directly from Asus. I've been trying for about 2 weeks I reflashed .15 and reupgraded, reflashed. 21. Did a number of factory resets, attempting to unlock between each step. How did you make it work?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaii:
I actually just picked another TFP up recently, this one for the lady, so it came with .15 already. From there, I just rooted then used viperMOD to install the Unlock Tool. Are you getting the "network connection" error?

Got impatient and D/L'd ROMManager, then flashed CWM without any problems. Guess I'm still unlocked ;p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wtfdroidlol:
Yea, network connection error
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaii:
I was getting that for a while, but that was a week ago now or so. I'm guessing it's a problem on their side (hopefully servers are down for maintainance? >.<).

when I put my SGS3 in vibration-mode than the ring tone is muted, new calls will only be notified by vibration. o.k. so long... BUT: incoming text-messages are further notified by the notification sound!!! can someone confirm this issue? if yes that must be a bug! - every phone I owned in the last 15 years (and I'd a lot different types from different manufacturers) switched all sounds (notification, ring-tone and so on...) off in vibration mode! annoying... cheers Gerald

that's exactly what I did, too! and vibration mode does not mute the notification sound, only the ring tone!

I found the solution!!! this was an issue of the tool "Volume Manager Free". Obviously this tool does any changes in the config of the "audio streams", and since I configured the audio streams inside the volume manager free (so that the ring-stream does also mute the notifcation stream, alarm stream...) - there is such an option in the settings of volume managaer free to configure that - all works fine! when I now put the phone in vibration mode, I can see that notifications are also muted, volume manager shows "notification muted by rington audio stream".... cheers Gerald

[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I upgraded my Rezound last week to Nils' ICS ROM because it was the only ICS ROM I saw that said it was based off the latest RUU (3.14.605.5, I believe). All the other ICS ROMs I saw seemed to be based off the previous RUU (3.11.something).

Now I'm just wondering, are there any known differences between those 2 RUUs that really make it matter which one is the base, when I'm looking at ICS ROMs to load?

In other words, is it really legit to only be looking for ROMs based off the latest RUU? Or does it totally not matter? Or is it even possible that the 3.11 RUU is better for some reason and I would actually be better off to use a ROM based on 3.11?
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
I like the 3.14 because you can have different lockscreen shortcuts than what you have on your Rosie homescreen dock. Apart from that not much changed...I think 3.11 is better for gsm folks...but Verizon seems to be adding stock gsm functionality later this year

Edit....here's what the last 2 leaks added.

3.14 changelog/fixes

*Lock screen shortcut settings separated from launcher bar shortcuts

*3G/4G icon displayed prior to entering decryption password

*Hidden menu (*#*#4636#*#*) removed

*Messages application – wrong sender displayed on occasion

*IPv6 solicitation timer value change

*New radios

3.11 changelog/fixes

* Facebook force close when you tap a video album

*Roaming charges when in Canada & Mexico

*Resets

*"Android updating" message on power up

*Camera not launching

*Hotspot turning off after 10 minutes

*Exchange mail account removed after FOTA

*Car dock limiting charging current

*"Set Current Date" popping up frequently

*BUA+ (multiple issues)

Flash player removed

*OTA over incorrect APN

*OTA SW update time

*Camera dark when using Facelock

*Text field difficult to read

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
So it's really just the short list under 3.14 that are the differences between it and 3.11, right? Which is mostly no big deal - unless the updated radios are actually better in real world usage.

But, I assume if that's the case, somebody running either one could flash the radios from the other, right? Or, more to my original point, I could run a ROM based on 3.11 and then flash the radios from 3.14, right?

In which case, there's no real reason to worry about which of those two bases a ROM is built on. Or so I'm gathering...
