[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] omac_ranger:
You will have to unlock via the asus unlock tool (you can just google that and get it directly off of the Asus website). Then you will have to use Fastboot to flash CWM onto your device. From there the usual, back up the stock rom, and install any custom rom of your liking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b3ava:
unlock tool from asus website. ok but can u explain 1 thing 2 me?:P if its on asus website why does it void your warranty?:P and root and unlock are different?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jemberton:
If you are planning to flash a custom rom, check out androwookie v1.2 its good.

Unlock gives you the ability to install a custom recovery e.g. cwm, you then use this to flash a pre-rooted rom. Root just means having access to the root directory. It enables access to features and functions that are normally made inaccessible.

Using the fastboot method is pretty simple and guides can be found easily. I just did it yesterday after having previously only rooted and installed cm 7+9 on my sgs2.

Thats my understanding anyway :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveG12543:
It's just one of their stipulations. Most manufacturers are like that in regards to using their unlock tools.

Root = enhanced permissions to run apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer (if you're modifying anything in the/System directory), stuff like that.

Unlock = your bootloader is "unlocked," you can now put ClockworkMod recovery on your device, flash ROMs and kernels. These things can't be done while only being rooted.

I hope I cleared it up for you a bit :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b3ava:
so with unlocking the device I wont have root privs? so things like you said titanium backup wont work?

1 more thing. is unlocking considered harder? and does any1 have a video of unlocking so that I know what I can expect:P b4 freaking out?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveG12543:
Unlocking doesn't instantly get you root, it just makes rooting a lot easier to do. Like they said, unlock, put CWM on it, flash a rooted ROM and bam, rooted. :) But correct, apps like Titanium won't work if you're only unlocked, you would need root.

As far as I know, unlocking just requires downloading the .apk from Asus' site, installing it and going through the prompts. It doesn't sound hard at all. I personally don't know the ins and outs of it, as I never unlocked my Prime, but that's all it really sounded like. Sounds pretty simple. I believe there's some videos on it on YouTube though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b3ava:
buddy thanx for all of this info was just wondering if the link i posted is the process for this unlocking? as every1 is describing? and where do i get that CWM?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveG12543:
No problem! :) And yep, the link in the first post is a great looking guide for unlocking. Nice and easy, step by step. And after you have unlocked, just download ROM Manager from the market and you can flash CWM through the app itself. From my understanding that's the easiest way to do it, at least. Sorry it's been a few days since I responded, I haven't really been checking out the Q&A section lately :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
Bootloader unlock:

Custom Kernel possible

Official updates impossible

Waranty impacted

CWM backups possible

Need to use community ROMs in future

improved but not great chance of recovering from bad ROM flash (really needs NVFLASH)

Rooted:

Now possible with firmwares up to .28

Permits write access to /system partition

Makes it easier to brick and block OTA updates

Should be reversable

Allows most tweaks to be applied except for replacing kernel (which is a prerequisite for some kernels)

Going to make this a FAQ I think...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poroto:
So this is damn simple, i bought my galaxy s2 a few months ago and since then i can not find the Internet icon to access the browser (only way i can open androids browser is by searching something on google widget)

I even upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and i still cant find it... any ideas ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poroto:
no1 knows ? am i the only one with this problem ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
If you're on ICS, do yourself a favour and head to the Google Play Store, and download Chrome Beta. It should appear in your apps list once downloaded and it kicks butt compared to the stock browser.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
First off, this is a forum, not an instant messaging client. Not everyone is on it at the same time. So be a little more patient. 2 hours is NOT a long time for a forum.

Second, you don't give any information about the actual version of device or firmware that you are on.

Third, if you are on a stock firmware, it's called "internet", not "browser", and it should be in the dock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poroto:
Sorry for bumping this, my bad.

im on a galaxy s2 running android 4.0.3, any more info you could need ?

I already have the chrome browser btw, all i wanna know is how to get the stock "internet" icon. thanks

And no, its not on the dock, not even on applications.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
There's a dozen different models of Galaxy SII.

Is it an GT-I9100? GT-I9100T/M/P? GT-I9100G? SGH-I777? SGH-I727? SGH-T989? SPH-D710? GT-I9210/T? SHV-E110S/E120S?

Also, 4.0.3; does that mean you are on a stock Samsung ICS firmware? Is the internet icon NOT in your dock? Is it not in your app drawer? (I don't think the app drawer is alphabetized by default)

Are you using a third party launcher, like Apex or Nova, etc?

Ok.... so you could try to create a homescreen shortcut to it first. Long press on an empty space of your homescreen, and select Shortcut, then Application, see if you can find "Internet". (that's how it is in Gingerbread, I can't imagine it would be that different in ICS - but if it is, you should be able to figure it out)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poroto:
I'm on a GT-19100.

I got a pop up yesterday claiming that there was a new software update, all i did was press update, downloaded the firmware, installed it, and thats all...

And trust me, it is not in the dock, not even on the app drawer.. i could even upload pics or something... only way i can open the browser is by using google widget... had the same issue on gingerbread. any idea ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poroto:
damn this is so weird i thought i wasnt the only one with this, whenever i do that, i just get a list of ALL my applications (games, email, weather, etc) but "internet" is not there...

:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
See my post above.

Are you using the TouchWiz launcher? If so, try arranging your app drawer to list view and see if it turns up. That will alphabetize all your apps.

Ok, I'm stumped. That IS weird.

Hmm... I guess you could create a bookmark to whatever you want your homepage to be, and name it Internet...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poroto:
Okay just bookmarked it and its "working". Thanks for your help mate.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Sorry I didn't help you to a proper fix. But at least now you have a shortcut.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicoelnino:
While browsing through my phone looking to find anything that was waking up my phone while it was meant to be sleeping especially during the night I went into my gallery app.

Now I use "QuickPic" app as my default gallery app as I just preferred it to the default on on the S2, so I continued to use it on the S3 when I got it.

However, I clicked into the gallery app just a while ago and too my amazement I found that it had somehow downloaded over 1700 photo's and videos from my windows live writer account to the phone!! :eek:

I never set it up to do this or did I even know that it was downloading.

So I clicked menu button and it gave me 3 options:

1. select album

2. Scan for nearby devices

3. View by.

I clicked the scan button and it said "scan started. Device list will soon be updated automatically.

A few seconds later i got the message: "No devices found. Scanning for nearby devices will continue in Background"

Now for me, I think this is what's possibly waking up my phone at night time as its probably searching/scanning for devices.

So i went to settings-more settings-nearby devices and it was set to "off" so it wasn't set up by default as I didn't go near it.

However, does anyone know how I can stop the gallery app from scanning for nearby devices in the background like it said above?

I'm nearly certain that its the cause of my battery drain, or at least a big part of it.

I wonder has anyone else come across this problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaaaas:
those pictures are probably cached pictures that wouldn't show up in the stock gallery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicoelnino:
yeah they are showing up in the stock gallery? but I can't seem to delete them as when I long press there's no delete option.

But there's only 32mb of photo's showing up on the internal memory so your probably right about them been cached. But how/why did they become cached and how can I make sure that no devices are been scanned for in the background as that's what it said it was doing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lutonian:
Yep, had the same problem here Saturday night! Was viewing the gallery earlier during the evening and it decided to continue caching during the earlier hours...1GB of data!!! Received a lovely sms from T-Mobile a few hours later to warn me that I had over used my data allowance :mad:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
Is this linked to the pull media from around me. I noticed that while on the same network as devices sharing media my GS3 would automatically pulling pictures to it which also gave me a lot of lag loading my gallery.

I was looking thought the menus and saw that under the network and sharing tabs there may be a possible way to stop this by switching off file sharing. This can be done in the settings application:

Settings > Wireless and networks > more settings > Nearby devices > file sharing > slider on or off.

Also there is way to leave this on but block certing devices as well under the file sharing tab there is a a menu called "not-allowed devices"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicoelnino:
Yes it's set to off but I can't delete the cached photos in gallery app???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
Ok I don't have any cached images on my phone but this may work :confused:

Use a file manager such as Astro or Estrongs and navigate to /mnt/sdcard/nearby

and delete everything inside of there, let me know how its goes.

Nothing at all showing up in that folder using astro??
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:
Ok so i have been out of the ROM loop for a bit, so i figured i would ask questions before trying to do so. I am wanting to run the newest ROMs running the leaked ICS VM base, but everywhere i see, it says to upgrade your firmware? I've looked all over the place and have yet to see the upgradeable firmware i need to do so! Can anyone please clarify this for me or at least point me in the right direction. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
You don't need to upgrade anything. I'm on the original firmware and the only thing that was working,but has since stopped was the camera. I also haven't updated the rom since it was released, so that could be the problem. I did run into a problem when I first installed it. Using rm -rf instead of formatting the partitions did not work. It kept boot looping, but changing it back to format worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:
well see my issue now is that i flashed it just fine like i would any other ROM (no FW upgrade) but it sits on the splash screen. this now happens with ALL ICS ROMs. at first they randomly rebooted but now the only ones that work on it are older ROMS (GB, FROYO) but ICS will not boot. :mad: i guess i might have to wait until the offical release hits for us
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
DO NOT FLASH THE VIRGIN MOBILE FIRMWARE / VIRUS!!!!!!!!

As for the bootlooping, if you are hboot 1.5 s-on, then ICS does that unless you use Chad's kernel (which breaks USB and 3d camera). I recommend you get s-off by downgrading to hboot 1.4 or use the wire trick. See my signature or the stickes in the cdma development forum (assuming you are CDMA) for more information.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I'm not the one who called it a virus - many of the devs who worked tirelessly trying to rid our phones of that firmware coined that one. From what I've read throughout the forums, I would highly recommend against flashing that, even using the mod to convert it to Sprint. Every ICS ROM I have tried (CDMA) has ran fine using Freeza's all in one version 2.17.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Could be only s-on people had issues removing it, but I personally would not risk it. The ics roms all work fine without it if you are s-off. Deadlocked I am genuinely asking (seriously not trying to be argumentative:D): what benefit you see from using it since afaik, there is none.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arian009:
I believe thats what the phone would think but actually you are just connected through your normal network. There is not way to fix that as it's not a bug theoritaclly atleast. Just flash a ROM that wouldn't have the issue.

I keep getting this message when I try to flash a couple different mods and Im baffled.

e:/ unable to stat '/sdcard2/' ....... yes it says STAT and not Start.

Evo4g LTE -> Rooted and Unlocked w/TWRP

Backed up once I did all that.

I can flash the Viper ROM no problem and have done that and gone back to stock and now back on Viper.

Ive tried to flash DualCPU Mod, the V6Supercharge, the Advanced Power Menu ...... none seem to take with either Viper or Stock ROM.

I always get that message ..... always trying to flash through TWRP Recovery

Ive searched Google and XDA ..... can take a flame if needed to get some help .....

I have not yet tried doing the flashes manually through my laptop and ADB

Appreciate anything helpful someone can post.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Maybe you have to mount the sd card first? I've not tried it but there should be an option to mount or unmount. Maybe it isn't mounted for some reason.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] totalnub911:
Could also be due to TWRP looking on internal SD card whereas goomanager is looking on external (or visa-versa)

If you're using goo.im manager, try flashing directly from twrp.

Good luck!

[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Look what I found in the OP :D

But if you are using it on the flexreaper rom , please use the patch from that thread .

It has got this kernel in it but also the tweaked build.prop.

Read OP of this thread regarding de-odexed roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
To be fair I added that line after reading the question and bashing my head..

(anyway nvflash really has no idea what to do with raw zImage files.. as that is all that is in the zip; the boot.img that needs to be flashed to your device also requires a ramdisk.. as indicated now in the op the update script extracts the one currently installed on your tab to generate a full boot.img with the new kernel)

I'll try to make a clean patch for A501 support. For now it's a mess =)
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
well if you followed my commits this last week or two.. things didn't quite go as cleanly with any of these other patches as I'd hope either.. (what 5+ commits trying to iron out issues in lulzactive.. it really didn't want to play well with interactive in the same kernel build.. and these are all ones I thought worked.. pushed to github..then needed to edit.. if it didn't work before I pushed to gh I'd have modified the commit)

Anyway looking forward to it as I know some people are interested.
[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
I am curious about the lulzactive governor ... it isn't something pulled out of little finger like smartass governor, right (and full of crap, such as "sleep frequency")?
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
Smarass and lulzactive are based on googles interactive, and really don't have much more overhead just more tuneing.

Sleep frequency is screen off frequency.. (useful if music is running or a background task to not OC, default is the 800mhz level.. lower is prob not wise since it will only be this high if something needs the cpu..) if your tablet is actually asleep its in suspend to ram mode and the cpu is off.. (at least until a wake lock fires or you push the power button) .. prob the most useful state of this is when I have my computer attached by usb preventing the full sleep.. but the power wire is not.

otherwise its a more tuned version of interactive. Allowing tunable quicker ramp ups or slower ramp downs.. I'm just using my own pre-tuned defaults ... edit: it ought to be noted I've also added a super ramp up if the inc_cpu_load is <91% (default value is 75%) and the current cpu utilization is > (100 -((100-inc_cpu_load)/4)) .. (94% with inc_cpu_load=75%) to ramp to max speed and not the ramp up interval of 2 speed steps (as will still happen if the cpu is between 75% and 93%)

Times in state shows a good balance of speeds as needed, and the device is responsive unlike say on demand.

The biggest problem with all the interactive based governors is how they intercept kernel idle .. pm_idle global hook.. replace the function and call the original.. until you start having more modules being enabled and disabled until the pointer is pointing somewhere random and your system crashes.. switch all of that to a register/unregister system based off the one in x86_64
[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
I see, so just some tune.

Yeah exactly ... that's why I said "full of crap, such as sleep frequency".

SoD issues

EZTerry -

I have gotten SoD with nearly all ICS kernels that have been released, both from Acer OTA and with Flexreaper and yours. The only one that I do NOT get any SoD from is the .022 pre-release one that Civato put up on one of the FR builds a while back. Since you seem to be one of the resident experts on kernels for the A500, do you have any idea what differences exist between the .022 build and the current ones, including your OC ones, that could possibly be contributing to the SoD?

For instance, I loaded the latest FlexReaper Extreme Rev 4 (which uses your latest OC kernel) and got peristent SoDs. I flashed back to the non-OC kernel (to get the normal modules back) and then loaded .022 from a flashable copy I had kept. I haven't had any SoD since. No OC, of course, but at least it's stable...

I saw your post about sending you the logs. Still plan to try that, but for now I'm happy with a working tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
But how is ezterry going to know what is differents or how can he help if he doesn't have a logcat.

If ezterry needs to test every rom situation we need to start paying him for giving us better support then we will ever get from acer.

So please provide logcat.

PS:

f is looking real good m8.

will report to you tomorrow .......
[Acer Iconia A500] BakaNeko59:
Well, now that I have a stable working build, I can do a backup and then play with the new kernels to get the logcat. I was just so happy to get a working build that I hadn't considered my next step.

I'll play some more when I get home from work since I can't have my tablet in my office.

You wouldn't care to provide a step by step guide of how to get the logcat info would you? I know it requires adb, but not much else. Also, in another post you mentioned getting the last_kmsg (or last_kmesg - I forget). How do we get that?

Thanks. I appreciate the help.
