Thanks man :good:, I pushed the busybox file from the 0086 build to the xbin directory, copied it and it went through just fine. Even kept root access after upgrade with the use of Vodoo OTA rootkeeper.:D
[Thinkpad Tablet General] userno69:
Just a quick update.. using ES File Explorer I successfully replaced my version of busybox with the one from the lenovo 0089 upgrade file, and ICS update worked fine! Thanks guys! :D

EDIT:

JDR: Wow haha we've got the exact same devices, a G2x and a TPT!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] j.d.r:
Lol Cool bro, what are you running on your G2X?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] d_lane:
Could you advise me how to edit the script and get it back into the zip file so that it does not invalidate the signature?

I commented out only one line (about that darn Flext9ChineseIME.apk ) but when I put the modified script back into the zip file, I get a failed signature validation error when I try the update.

My current method is to unzip the entire zip package - edit the install script - then using WinRAR, I delete the old script file then add the new script file directly to the archive.

Please correct my idiocy if possible.

EDIT: It seems that I need ClockWorkmod Recovery to do this.. Right? Good lord that looks complicated...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] crashcarstar:
Use the one from the 0086 update zip.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] garypen:
That's the one I used. Worked like a charm.

Perhaps daswahnsinn is not actually overwriting the bad busybox. I was having that issue until I gave ES Explorer the proper permissions to overwrite system files.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jhankinson:
Started a new thread here with some useful files including busybox.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] userno69:
Just sto GB at the moment, previosuly one of the ICS builds. I need my phone 100% stable tho... it is rooted however :good:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
I'm still confused. After replacing the busybox file, what do I do next exactly?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] daswahnsinn:
I already have OTA(ICS) with root got it done shortly have posting, well about a hour, thanks I also started a page that links to the lenovo forums where I read up on stuff and got some help.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] userno69:
Try the OTA update again. It worked for me after replacing the busybox file.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] j.d.r:
True that, but I'm still running ICS anyways lol on HFS 1.8 right now
[Thinkpad Tablet General] InquilineKea:
Isn't it possible that replacing busybox with the Lenovo version could result in a compromised version of root after we replace it?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] j.d.r:
Maybe but I didn't run into that issue once I updated. Have there been any reports of anyone running into that problem?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
I'm getting something along the lines of whole-file verification failed or something. None of the busy box or any other error..any idea what the actual issue is?

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

I am having this issue as well. did you ever find a solution yahoowizard?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Temetka:
I finally got ICS

After struggling over the last few weeks (off and on), I finally have ICS and root.

This is the 16GB US Tablet

So I deleted all ICS files from my laptop and Tablet so I could start from scratch.

I Then downloaded the following files:

http://download.lenovo.com/slates/think/tablet1/ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0039_0086_US.zip <-- for the BusyBox file

http://download.lenovo.com/slates/think/tablet1/ThinkPadTablet_A310_03_0069_0130_US.zip <-- ICS

I extracted BusyBox from the above mentioned file using WinRAR. I copied it over to the SD card (not internal memory) on my tablet. Then I copied over the ICS update file mentioned above. It's the big 291MB file. Don't rename it or do anything to it. Just copy it to your SD card.

I then fired up ES File Explorer and made sure it had su permissions, could write to / and so on. I copied BusyBox from the SD card over to the /System/xbin folder and told it to overwrite. I then quit ES File Explorer, fired up OTA RootKeeper and temp un-rooted.

I then shut down rebooted the tablet into it's recovery. Power on and once it vibrates repeatedly press the volume up button.

Once in recovery I told it to apply a system update from external storage. To navigate in restore mode the volume up and down buttons will move around in the menu, and the power button acts as ENTER.

It failed the first update attempt with "error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip Error 7" blah blah blah.

What caught my eye was that part of the error message mentioned being unable to write a log file to the /cache partition. So I sat there for a minute and thought about it. Maybe the /cache partition is full or something. So I selected the "Wipe cache partition" from the menu. Once the wipe was complete, I then told the system to try to run the update again.

It ran just fine. I now have ICS with root.

So basically:

1. Download above files.

2. Extract busybox from 0086 32MB file and copy it over to your /system/xbin folder and overwrite the existing file.

3. Copy the 291 update file to your sd card.

4. reboot into recovery

5. wipe cache (worked for me)

6. apply update

7. Enjoy ICS.

I couldn't have done this without the help of many XDA posters, devs, and community.

Thanks guys. :)

Settings.apk file from OTA3

So I've tried several forums at this point and several posts.

I need the following file from someone with the OTA3 update installed (ICS 4.0.3) on the Thinkpad Tablet (not ideapad)

Settings.apk

I was an idiot and didn't backup my Settings.apk file before overriding it... Now I can't get into the settings to do wifi and other things that you would generally controls in the Settings.

Please Help!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
Nope. Haven't really sat on this tablet for about the past month and a half (was on vacation). Looking into it now...

EDIT: Kk, solved it. Just did w/e Temetka said, but I also had to add in the Generic.kl file from as well as edit some other file called updater-script. Everything worked out pretty magically in the end.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:

Hello everybody,

After a successful RocektRom V7 installation I would like to go back to stock Rom GB or ICS. I understand that the safest is to go back to GB, however…

After installing Rocket, Odin PC does not recognize my phone and as consequence I cannot run it. Not sure if this can be done via Mobile Odin or any other way.

Your advice and help will be the most appreciated.

I have an Ion but am based in HK. So what is so special about AT&T that gives it forum naming rights? Is it cos the phone is only available in the us on at&t? Is the phone itself different'?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dizarmstrong:
I just think it's anticipated that many future users of the handset will be from the states and, by default, on the at&t version. I'm not sure if there is a discernable difference (the radio bands, maybe?).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deleted member 1483200:
I'm assuming if the other versions prove popular they will rename it.

I remember with the X10 they had so many different versions of the phone

AT&T ruins xperia ion's original user experience.

att xperia ion doesn't have the cosmic flow live wallpapers, no timescape feed widget, no music & video app/widget, no recommender app/widget, no setup guide app. Also, the contacts app is like the old 2011 line phones which don't have contact suggestions while you input the numbers. The timescape widgets only have timescape frineds, timescape share, and wtf the 2011 timescape widget but not the timescape feeds which looks like the one on xperia s.

oh btw, there is a **** load of att's ****ty apps pre-installed so definitely have fun with those :)

LT28i can use 4G in US w/AT&T.

Since my brother brought a ion in Hongkong, and go to US for work.

He can use AT&T 4G in US w/ LT28i

It seem that LT28i is identically to LT28at in "function aspect"

LT28i have no "lock" but LT28at is locked with AT&T

I am also using LT28i @ Hongkong
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:

Finally received my Three home signal box today. Its only been running 10 minuets but so far very happy getting full signal throughout the whole house compared to having 0 bars before hand no matter where I stood in the house.

Would defiantly advise anyone with bad three signal indoors to get them self ones, I thought I would have to renew my contract but didn't have to and was free and sent out next day delivery once it had all been sorted out.
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
We have the Voda version of it (probably made by the same folks) and find it fantastic.

Its only used for my wife and daughter now, ive now jumped ship to Everything Everywhere (that have a not bad signal in the house)

Occasionally it drops out but has been pretty good all things considered.

Just remember that all calls, data and texts etc are still billable (or come from your allowances) and ALL traffic that goes through the Home Signal will eat into your broadband allowance if you have any.

I am currently using King Droid v3 + s3 mods

I tried out Rocketrom v6 as well.

Now my question is what is the difference between the Custom ICS Roms..

To me they all look the same.

What would be the real benefit of using rocketrom over king droid?

Like i know the benefit of using paranoidandroid is the beautiful hybrid mode.

But these ICS roms pretty much do all the same.

If you have used both can you like us know whats the difference?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roshi87:
I reckon every custom ICS rom is a little bit different and each behaves differently on different N7000 devices. I tried both Kingdroid and Rocket - both were good, but each one of them was lacking something I was looking for. I also tried Criskelo's, Cassie's and modded AlBa - last two really fitted me. I guess you should run through a couple of ICS customs and find the one that suits you best.

Title says it all. If anyone has ever found a decent guide that comprehensively explains how to edit .9.pngs and add guides please post here, i have tried reading more than 10 in google and none actually tought me how to add guides and edit pngs :S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wes342:
It does take some getting used to.

http://developer.android.com/tools/help/draw9patch.html

right panel shows how the png will stretch

goal:

draw lines around the edges of the png to create stretchable and static parts of the png.

basically the pink content is stretchable.

stretchable content should be part of the png that is ok to get skewed

when it stretches. so if you have an image in stretchable area

you will need to make sure in the layout of the app it stretches the same on x axis and y axis

if only stretches on one axis image will become distorted.

on the right panel just make sure your png looks good in all 3 examples and you should be fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayven18:
Really, i cant understand what means for the png to be strechable and what do the squares in the second image of link are
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wes342:
let me try again.

Define:

a 9patch is a .png that is cut into sections

and the green part is showing the sections

the pink part is showing the stretchable part of the .png

the whole point of a 9patched png is to make a png so it can be used

many different times in an app. sometimes the png will be a square and sometimes a rectangle. basically when you want to use the png as a rectangle its just stretching the square png along the x-axis to make it a rectangle.(like when you set an image that is too small as your desktop wallpaper the image becomes distorted) if you stretch a square image into a rectangle you are distorting the original image to make a rectangle (so things will look funny)

yes the 9patch tool takes some getting used to.

so if you load your png into the 9patch tool

you will be able to draw little lines around the edges.

look closely at the second image (you will see black lines at the bottom and on the right plus 2 small lines on the top and left.

this is what defines your patches.

once you draw the lines around your png you will see a pink section in the middle (this is the part of the png that will stretch when you use your png as a rectangle)

the green sections are showing you the sections that that you have made.

make sure you check the show patches and show content buttons at the bottom.

Now on the right side you will see 3 different shapes a square , vertical rectangle and horizontal rectangle. these are examples of what your png will look like if you stretch it.

as far as I can tell if the images of your png on the right look good and are not distorted then your png will look fine in the app.

If you need some more help

watch the top 3-4 videos that should give you a better handle on 9patch tool.

9patch tool youtube search

[Galaxy S III General] ninjafox:
Hi all,

I have booked a data package for data roaming but the SGS3 (i9300MBDDBT XXLE8) won't connect. (germany -> france)

Data roaming is enabled of course, but all I get is the warning message, that data roaming has been disabled.

I have found very little information about this problem, only that some SGS2 or HTC Sensation users have been complaining about data roaming not working anymore after updating to ICS (from GB).

Is this an android bug of some sort or is anyone familiar with this problem?

BR

I have contacted my network provider, they had the gprs-roaming locked down for my contract for some reason...
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Have you tried entering the network settings that you are roaming on to .

jje
[Galaxy S III General] ninjafox:
Yeah, I guess the APN is set right to "web.vodafone.de", as it is stated in the service portal of my provider.

Althought I have read, that someone with a different provider had a similar problem and solved it by changing the APN...

I was just wondering, because the system tells me, that data roaming has been disabled, even if I have it enabled.
[Galaxy S III General] Deusdies:
Try to manually search for some other network in France, maybe the one you are on right now does not offer data roaming (although I think all networks in the EU must offer it).
