Ahh my HTC ppc 6700... Makes me feel old lol. Back when wm was the ****. I used to get stopped all the time by people asking me about my phone. And then when skyfire came out and we could watch flash videos. I use to show off.

Mightymike use to have the best roms. When he released roms his servers would crash. Nrg would come out with the latest and greatest for EVERY phone. Thats where sense started and always was memory hog. Back when xda was mainly a gsm website. Cdma people were all at ppcgeeks. I still see a few guys every now and then from ppcgeeks. Calkulins a legend. And ziggy, tsowen, santod with their themes. No2chem, conflipper, cmonex just to name a few. Lol

Sorry i was just reminiscing.

I used to have a Motorola hint. Always tried to play games, but no luck. Started learning about unlocking and got Motorola phone tools. I was able to fix my phone after I thought I killed it sideloading music onto my sd card. After that, me and my honey got Ascends, and I wanted to be able to fix my phone if I did something...stupid. read a bunch on rooting and one day, I took the plunge. I was a little apprehensive about voiding my warranty, but loved being rooted and Rom'ed. Got my Ascend 2 in December and rooted that. Then my buddy gave me his old HTC mytouch3g Fender edition. That was a beast to root, but I finally got it. Just waiting to save up for a better phone now...must mod!!! That's my story. :cool:

How I got into this

I've been reading about flashing and rooting ever since I got an evo 4g 2 yrs ago. Upgraded to the evo 3d and it came with a defective screen. I Ordered a Epic touch 4g to replace it and I got tired of all the b.s. about ics and decided to root. I can't believe I waited so long to do it. The bottom line is a week ago I flashed my 1st Rom using Odin one click, thank u qbking77, sfhub, sextape, chainfire , and everybody else who helped.Now I'm running cm9 nightlies after trying stock ff02 and ff11 and couldnt be happier. Im hooked. I rooted my girls evo earlier (s off and all) just to quench my thirst for a new rom to play with. I got a little to used to holding an evo again and accidently walked out the door with it on my way to work,lol. She's probably looking all over for the phone right now! Sorry honey. Hopefully she checks her email or fb on the PC ( cant call her) and sees my messages b4 she ends up tearing the house apart.

I have always been messing with everything electronic since I can remember. My dad worked on PC's so they where always around. I started really getting into phones with my Samsung a900 back in 05. I made a website on my home server that it could go to so I could side load apps and ring tones to it. Then I went on to WM and it just never stopped.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
I've always tinkered with electronics since I was little. Pissed my dad off a number of times taking apart computers and frying the HDD (didn't know static=bad day for a HDD when I was that little). I moved on to software from there. All of it is self taught the hard way or from the magic of Google. Eventually I got a Blackberry and started flashing "hybrid" setups on them until Android came out. My first Android was the MyTouch 3G Slide. I learned a lot from that phone before I moved to a G2. Overclocking a phone to 2GHz+ was just insane :D It was like having a nuclear reactor in my pocket. Now here I am. I've progressed to being able to decompile apk's, do what I want, and recompile a working app. We'll see what the future holds.

Good luck to every other aspiring dev on here. Don't get discouraged by any complexity or any trolls on here. I promise you're probably over thinking most things and trolls are just trolls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Smurphjw:
Mytouch 3g. HTC decided to skip the 2.1 update and make me wait longer for 2.2 I took matters into my own hands. Thought I messed up when it got stuck at the splash screen. Turns out I missed the gapps file.(used to have to flash it before cm). After that all my phones were rooted within 24 hrs. G2,Mt4g, g2x, nexus s, and now my et4g. Unofficialy updated the dell streak 7 to honeycomb. And am currently trying to convince the gf that I won't turn the transformer prime into a $500 brick.:D
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodroweBones:
When I originally got the TouchPad I played around with just long enough to put CyanogenMod on it then gave it to my parents. Here is the info I got from the device:

Modboot version 0.3.5 (Dont recall the actual version.. I recall seeing something like this)

ClockworkMod version: 5.0.2.6

CyanogenMod version: Alpha 2

Since then I personally got a Galaxy Nexus and have ventured into the world of ROMs. One of the first things I did when I got a hold of the TP again was to install GooManager then browse by compatible ROMs. To my surprise I saw that Black Ice (my fav ROM) was also available in a Tenderloin version which GooManager said was compatible with the TP so I did a Titanium backup and a nandroid backup then wiped back to factory, wiped the cache and wiped the Dalvik cache and flashed Black Ice.

First thing I noticed was that there was now another entry in the boot list named "Black Ice" but it didnt work or do anything. Choosing the original CyanogenMod option did boot Black Ice (after showing a brief CM logo which I assume is part of CWM?). However once booted into Black Ice I wasnt able to get the Wifi to turn on at all. It would flip the toggle but it would just grey out and never actually turn on. Naturally I did a nandroid recovery and its all back to the way it was but it left me with some questions...

1) Does the TP have to be dual-booted with WebOS? Or can I set it up similar to my GNex and have it not prompt for a boot option and run only Android?

2) Should all "Tenderloin" builds work on a TP? And if so what is the proper method for me to switch to a different ROM? The method I used above is what I do for my Gnex but I realize it might be different on TP.

3) Did I do the flash properly and it should have technically worked and the wifi issue i had is fixable?

Thanks for any input!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
1) yes you have to keep dual boot. A quick search would have given you this info. But when you install android it should default to boot Android in moboot... if you have several entries then I suggest you clean moboot or wipe android from the TouchPad altogether and start off with a cleean install (the stickies have plenty of instructions on how to do any of that

2) tenderloin is the codename so to speak for the TouchPad. You need to read up on the workings of moboot to understand the dual booting method and understand the entries you see when its booting and how to manipulate it (again information readily available on the forum)

3) yes you flashed correctly but your moboot /boot folder has conflicting entries. Most wifi issues have been fixed in all the most stable ROMs. Your issue may be related to conflicts from your install and/or having one of those.devices that is.just persistently going to have android wifi issues. When i say devices I mean yours in particular. Some of us depending on our device have never had issues no matter what ROM we used

Hope that helps...
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
As abrasive as always...

Anyways, he does have a couple of points.

1) Yes, you do have to keep the dual-boot setup. You can change the default to whatever you want, or you can clean it up. There are some nice topics that explain it all throughout the General and Q&A and Dev forums (I don't have them handy). If you want to default to one of those, I can tell you now you need a little bit of familiarity with terminal (which is easiest), or you need to boot back into WebOS, install Preware, and then install CyBoot (which changes boot options).

2) He's right, Tenderloin is the name given to the Touchpad, like es209ra is the name for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. It's just what it's called.

3) Wifi issues are something that are hit-and-miss with a lot of people. One thing that seems to fix a lot of peoples' issues is switching your router to one of the lower channels (1-6) rather than the upper (6-13). There's also usually a lot less chatter on the lower 1-3 than closer to 6 (which is the default). Also, set your wireless to WPA2/Personal with AES (no TKIP), and disable WPS (Wireless Protected Setup). This will make your network more secure, and work better with your TP.

3) Another thing I've noticed is that if you switch your Wifi off and then back on, it can take upwards of a minute before it's re-enabled. Not sure why, but it is something to note.

Hope that helps you with a little less attitude than our resident... person... posted above.

Cheers.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodroweBones:
Thank you ve6ay!

I was pretty positive Tenderloin was meant for touchpad but was thinking maybe its for actual android tablets only.

For some reason with Black Ice I just could never get the Wifi to enable at all. The latest AOKP nightly wouldnt even flash but I ended up getting AOKP Milestone 5 to flash and its working great! Have definitely experienced the other "normal" wifi issues of losing connectivity and having to switch to airplane mode and back, etc. so I am used to those already :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thyttel:
Is it me or is almost none of the big games from the big developers available for the galaxy s3?

Almost all big name games says not compatible for your device.

Even games that does work they have startet removing for the galaxy s3. 3 days ago I bought Max Payne mobile for my galaxy s3 and it worked fine. Today when I installed new rom I noticed it didnt install Max Payne on first boot so I went to market to install it manually and now Max Payne too says not compatible with your device.

Same with alot of games. They dont even show up in market and if you search for it in web play store most of them says the same. Almost no games from electronic arts or gameloft, also searched for Galaxy on fire. Same.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benzai:
Hello Members,

one week ago i got a Galaxy S I9000.

I flashed ParanoidAndroid v1.1.d with the newest Devil Kernel (Devil3_0.79_i9000_CFS_BLN_VC_20120618.zip)

Very nice rom by the way :)

But unfortunaly iam not able to record videos. I changed nothing with the free ram space, so i think thats not the problem?

With the stock rom it was possible to record. Tried semaphore but without success..

Could not find another app for video recording and i dont know how to change recording resolution settings??. ... any suggestions?

Thanks for your Help in advance :)

Benzai
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P$N:
Yes you are right PA ROM has some issues with the camera. In tablet mode once you switch to front camera the switch camera button doesn't work.

Video recording works fine with other apps but not in 720p.

In the Development Site of PA i read nothing about cameraproblems...

With Skype e.g. its working fine... but i dont know on which resolution.

Do you have a hint for a different app for recording videos? It hasn't to be high res.

I found nothing in the market...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] billiebob8554:
Hi guys,

I was just wondering if there was any information about exposure lock or white balance lock. Although that feature was advertised as part of Android ICS, there are hardly any apps out there that support it (the only app that I was able to find was Camera FV-5). However, it doesn't seem to be working properly on custom ROMS, and when I emailed the dev for the app, he told me that until the camera driver from the manufacturer supports that feature, then it won't show up unfortunately.

Are there any third-party drivers out there that might support those two features? The email was a little hard-to-believe, seeing that using almostDSLR on the iPhone 3GS (which is 3 years old) I was able to do exposure-lock and WB-lock. Is the dinc2 camera unable, or is the driver just lacking?

Perhaps we'll get this feature officially when ICS for dinc2 is finally released for good...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
Hey everyone,

Just got a GN a few weeks ago, and I am dying to try a custom ROM, but I got dinged by my work with my infuse because they have a no-root policy strickly enforced when accessing our corporate email.

I was not able to use an un-root app like root keeper, apparently because the ZEUS rom I was using had an autoroot on startup.

I am hoping the nexus has better options for using the un-root app, to (temporarily) unroot my phone when accessing my mail.

I have been reading that it is better to manually root the handset, rather than use a toolkit, which I am OK with; but I really would be interested in hearing from someone that has successfully used an unroot app to remove root.

- Thanks!

How can they tell if you are rooted just through email use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
CM9 lets you restrict root access to ADB only. Might want to check that out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
We access our corporate mail through the GOOD for enterprise application, and and that scans for root on load.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
If the app scans for just the root binary or Superuser app, then I don't see a way to prevent it from detecting root without actually being unrooted. It likely looks in all $PATH dirs for su, and then in /system/app or /data/app for the application to grant permissions. Any ROM can be unrooted, just remove the su binary (and any symlinks) and the Superuser app before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Damn, they take the fun out of the whole Nexus experience. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
Yeah, thanks. I guess what I am asking is if any of the unroot apps work with the custom ROMs the Nexus has. The ZEUS rom I was using with the infuse had something related to voodoo that kept ROOT, and the unroot apps did not have an affect.

I have only flashed two android ROMs with my infuse, but am an application developer by trade, so I am not skeered by the command prompt. I know there are a few CM9 based ROMs out there. I was looking at the PARANOID rom just cause that seemed interesting with the tablet hybrid. I just would like to know before I go through the whole flashing proc. that I can unroot before I connect to my work email (about once a week).

- Thanks for the replys so far. - Kevin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
Just wondering...what is so dangerous about having root when accessing email?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Depending on the apps, root permission allows an app to gain full control of your device, so if one is not careful, he may let a rouge app into the phone. From a security standpoint, the rouge app may steal data from the email, which no company wants.

Think root as your computer's "Run as Administrator", same reason companies/schools limit user permission using User Policy(or whatever it's called)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
Could just make a script to delete su and superuser and busybox, and make a flashable zip to put them back again.

Would require a couple of reboots every time but would still be quick to do once you had the zips set up

Use SuperSU. What I did was temporarily block root, installed whatever MDM app was needed, set up the stock Exchange information, and allowed root again.

Let me know if this works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
Thanks shanky,

I will look into super su. The GOOD application checks on every launch, and so I will need to run it whenever I need to check work email, and but that is only once or twice a week from my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RTHppc:
Hi Kevin,

did you have success with that? Or any other suggestion?

I have the same problem, my IT wants to wipe GFE container if my device keeps rooted.

Thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
Hi RTHppc,

Sorry for the very late reply. I can confirm this does work with GFE. The unroot effectively does not cause a compliance violation.

Overall it was a hassle to verify, even though our infrastructure team was completely on board. GOOD was balking when I attempted to register a second device (even temporarily) with the same sim card. It would only throw an ambiguous error 'unknown error'.

I could go on, but that is the subject for a rant thread. ;)

So my questions are.. do you use it? and what do you use it for? Do you have any button maps for any popular game/apps?

GTA is a game that support controllers, therefore, you must not do any additional action, only connect and play.

For games that support only the touch screen you must create a touch profile, but with the app "Touch Profile Creator", It takes only 10 seconds.

[Motorola Atrix 2] ed20910:
Just curious if anyone as received the cease tethering email from at&t? My wife uses it because it is the only way to get wireless internet at her boss's house. Even an at&t wireless card is crap. Has anyone heard any stories of if this is a one time only warning like the throttling and if caught at any time in future it automatically changes plan? She has been using it for awhile and this is the first month the usage has shot up. I guess we should consider it good while it lasted. I know ultimately the decision is ours but just curious for any feedback.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I'm not sure of this being done by AT&T -I have received no emails/letters/or any other notifications about this being so. I do know that there are ways around having a tethering plan by rooting and other things. What I HAVE heard, is that along with the 'grandfathered' unlimited data package (that is no longer available with AT&T to new customers), that once you reach a certain data usage for the month they will -at that point- throttle down your "bandwidth" so that you are not utilizing the same data speeds. Now, whether or not this is true, I don't know either. Just something I HAVE head in regards to AT&T controlling such things. :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] ed20910:
Both phones are rooted. I think At&t is fishing on unlimited plans trying to scare. Granted she has been tethering, but no more than any other month over the last six. Her usage has spiked but not due to the tethering. She needs it for work but I don't want to risk her unlimited plan. I can confirm that once you hit 3gigs of data, they will warn you about throttling. The next month it is a HUGE difference in speed once you pass that cap. I easily hit 3gigs just from streaming a podcast during my hour drive to and from work. Not sure how people get by with 250mb.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Have you read THIS THREAD about enabling Wi-Fi "hotspot" on the Atrix 2? As for the throttling down data speeds after reaching a certain monthly usage amount, that is just downright dirty. Seems like more and more companies are becoming 'okay' with telling you one thing, and then turning around and doing another. :rolleyes:
