[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Thought this might be a decent thread to help poeple buying their TF700s and grabbing some goodies while they are at it. So here's what I bought. Will put up some reviews once they get here. Everything bought (and linked) through Amazon.

Digitl Car Mount - The type that you use a seat bolt to attach.

$24 + $6 shipping

Garbage, Didn't fit properly and wobbled everywhere. Returning.

Poetic 3-Pack Screen Protector - These are for the TF300, but as pointed out by Mech, they should work fine.

$15

Great fit, slightly small, but this makes it alot easier to apply then ones that are the eact size.

TF700 Tablet

$534 shipped

Love It

Sandisk 32 Gb Micro SD card

$20

Exactly as advertised. Comes in non-retail packaging.

HDMI TO MINI D HDMI cable

$2.81

Didn't receive, was refunded.

Female To Female HDMI Coupler - These are great to keep from having to plug you mini HDMI cable into a TV bolted to a wall. Just steal the one out of the blueray player or something.

$2.29

Same as above

rooCase Flim Fit Case - I bought this because I like the smooth texture and it has a hand look in the back plus it allows to adjust to different tilts for viewing.

$15 + $5 shipping

Should be here on 27th.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mezmemore:
Do you have the roo Case in yet and are using it? I am curious to the fit, because I also would like to use this same case for my TF700. Thank you for posting this info for us.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
No, I just ordered them a few minutes ago. Tablet, card, and SPs should be here on weds according to amazon, I must be close to a fullfillment center. Gotta loce amazon prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Updated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fandry:
Oops, just saw that you already returned the car mount, my bad :angel:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Yea man, it was really bad. It's basically a RAM Mount knock off, but it has a single flemsy bolt down piece. The holes were all too small to fit the seat bolt through and had to use a smaller bolt. The arm it'self wobbled and swayed and the jaws to hold the tablet were too small to even fit the tablet. Seemed like a great deal at $20, but was too good to be true. I'll probably go look at what ProClip has thought up as far as positioning tablets in my truck and just make one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
If I wanted to add a sound to the system boot how would I go about it? I installed an animation from rom toolbox and would like to add the Droid sound. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
If you already have the .ogg sound file you want to put in there then you put it in /system/media/audio/notifications IIRC.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
I put it in there but what is IIRC ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
IIRC= if I recall correctly
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
On peetr's 2.3.5 rom the boot sound is in system /media and it's in mp3 format. It's named Android audio.mp3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hdmunger:
Where the sound file goes varies based on the version/ROM you are running...

For Stock (and apparently Mof2.3.5ish) it does go in system/media/audio/notifications, but you also need a pointer to it in the desc.txt file in the bootanimation.zip (see example here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20558458&postcount=18 )

As was mentioned above, on peetr's 2.3.5 rom its all in system/media...
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
I'm using aokp and I can't get the sound running.

Also it states that the example you posted didn't work correctly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hdmunger:
The sample in the above link was for stock (and happens to work on Mof2.3.5ish)...don't know how AOKP differs. I looked in the zip for AOKP and the boot ani that comes with it gives no indication of if you can do boot sounds or where they might go if you could.

Might ask in that thread (if you haven't already)...sorry I could not help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
If you are running AOKP Milestone 6, in ROM Control under General Settings, you'll see an option that's probably greyed out that tells you where the boot animation sound goes.

For ICS, boot animation sounds only need to go in /system/media folder. BUT, like mentioned above, you'll still need a new line in the 'desc.txt' file of the boot animation zip to tell it to play the sound file
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Which is where the question comes in. What exactly is the line of text I need.

Life is like AIDS, sexually transmitted, incurable, and ultimately leads to death
[Motorola Photon 4G] hdmunger:
Here is an example:

480 800 15 (resolution and framerate of animation - 480x800, 15 fps)

p 1 0 part1 (play part1 once)

s bootsound1.mp3 (play sound file - name not important but must match actual file)

p 1 0 part2 (play part2 once)

s bootsound2.mp3 (play second sound file)

p 0 0 part3 (play part3 of animation repeatedly)

s bootsound3.mp3 (play third sound file)

- the parts in parentheses are not included in desc.txt file (notes only)

- edit/create desc.txt in notepad++ (or similar) or the formatting will be wrong - don't use microsoft notepad

- in this example, the sound files are played at the end of the first pass through the section of the animation in line above each (only important on sections played in loops like part3 above)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Windle:
read several tutorials – if you’ve never done it before don’t rush into it

Misreading one line of instructions can mess the whole process up and leave you with a dysfunctional phone. Its not as daunting as it seems.. but you do need to know exactly what to do before you do it.... and while your doing it. Also check compatability with model numbers and software versions

for example my phone is an x10 mini pro but if I take the battery out its actually a u20i

Super one click rooted my phone without problems but i found i had to disable usb debugging and re enable it while it was doing its thing

youtube is also a good source for tutorials

I recommend this kernel and rom from NaA

if you have baseband update, the rest y very easy

the requirements are

bootloader unlocking

updated baseband

1.-search the web, update baseband to the exact model, e10i does not equal the E10A

if you install a firmware for another device, you may lose the 3G signal

2.- this post for unlocking Bootloader

help needed to unlock and flash custom rom

HI,

I rooted my sony experia mini e10i successfully using z4root app. now i have to unlock bootloader. what tool should be downloaded , i searched in google., many tools and many views for doing this. i am really confused. Please suggest any good and reliable tool to unlock the bootloader and please also suggest the steps for doing so. should i flash kernel and then rom or both at same time? in some tutorials they said,

1.use CWM ROM manager and flash recovery

2. poweroff and then power on , press back key

3. in recovery mode, wipe all cache,

4. install rom from sd card

Are these steps work fine for me? This is the first time i am trying these flashing custom rom. so am little bit nervous.

Please help....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ghroth:
Hello there.

As many of us, it's also my very first time that i'm attempting to upgrade my x10 mini's android version from 2.1 to 2.3.7 and i'm pretty worry of making it useless (bricking it? :))

After spending hours and hours of reading several guides.. i was able to root my xperia, installed and log into CWM (v3.2.0.0-3) successfully. But now i have 15 different guides with 50 different steps to follow.. And now i am pretty stuck upon few basic (yes noobish) questions:

"Unlocking bootloader" means that, after installing CWM or xRecovery, we have to use the flashtool method or are we done with the unlocking part?

After getting done with unlocking bootloader, do we firstly install the new kernel and secondly the new Rom or the opposite?

Is there a way to recognize which Rom requires xRecovery or CWM before its installation?

Thank you in advance!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If you want a ROM that runs on a custom kernel you do need to unlock the bootloader, that's the only tricky part about the whole process

Which order you install kernel and rom doesn't make a difference, as long as the two are meant for each other. That said, it is common practice to install the kernel first and then the ROM.

xRecovery is (usually) only used in old ROMS that run on stock kernel, the 2.3.7 ROM you're aiming for will probably use CWM (Which is included in all custom kernels anyway). Which of the two is required is stated in the opening post of the ROM you choose.

Good luck :)

Just wondering if it's possible by editing files within the apk itself?

I know some live wallpapers have options to set them static or scrolling so thinking it might be possible?

I have the Windy Weather live wallpaper from Galaxy S3 and would like to set it not to scroll on my Nexus 7.

Is there a simple flag in one of the files that tells it whether or not to scroll or is it much more complicated than that?

Someone els with these issues?

With kind regards

I installed ICS did a wipe as this is supposed to improve things but battery life is awful. I only get about 9hrs with moderate use, I took it of the charger at 6am this morning, Had to put it back on around lunchtime and now at 8pm its at 20% and this is with battery saving on.

Try RootBox with Dark Knight.. best combo for me.. you'll easily double your battery life

Another option is Slim ICS, very lightweight and battery friendly. Try some of the suggestions, each for a few days to allow for a couple of full battery cycles to take place. You can then make an informed decision about your daily ROM choice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
OK last night I let the phone go flat, removed the battery, put it back in and charged it when off. Phone has now just turned off flat.

Off charger at 9am this morning

Through out the day checked twitter a couple of times amounting to about 3 mins total.

Synced email 3 times.

Made a 2 min phone call

Used 3G for about 4 mins

Flashed back to GB via Odin.

Its now 6.30pm, phone turned off at 6pm, now today was actually very light use and I got 9 hrs before it died, On my old 4s with this type of use i'd still be at least 70% full.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
A few tips and tricks Ive found....

- When you install a new ROM, go into recovery (Home, Vol Up, Pwr) Clear Data/ Factory Reset > Clear Cache > Reboot.. In that order.

- When you first set up WiFi on your phone, Dont install Apps you dont use from Google Play, as these can run in the background.. using battery life.. Just because Google Recommend them for your phone, donesnt mean you have to install them.

- Dont be tempted to register every single email address you have to Social Hub.

- If your a "update over WiFi" person, set phone to "GSM only", instead of "WCDMA/GSM Auto", also turn off "Mobile Data" in Settings..

- If your not running twitter, email checks, updating weather all day, turn off "Account Sync" in Settings and set your email accounts to "Never" check for emails.

- Try switching to a different launcher. Touchwiz 4 is very resource intensive, try moving to Go Launcher or ADW or another one.. theres loads of advice on here and the webn about launchers, but for me Personnally, I like Go, but thats me.

2 Im not sure about, so some more in the know people here can advise please:

- In Settings > Display check ON, Auto Adjust Screen Power, but Im not convinced about "Auto Brightness, as I think it needs to constantly keep scanning the sensor, but I could be wrong.

- Turn Off "Motion" may also help with battery life.

Ive tended to go back to GB236, but the latest 404 boasts better battery life, so like everyone advises, you just have to test new ways.

Good Luck

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E107946:
I need to encrypt my Kindle Fire running on AOKP otter in order to access corporate e-mail, and in order to do so, it requires the charger to be plugged in. The problem is that this particular ROM cannot correctly report that the power cable is plugged in, so I cannot proceed as it gives me a message "plug in charger and try again". Other than that, it is not really a problem for me. My question would be how to "trick" (albeit temporarily) the ROM into thinking that the charger is plugged in (even though in reality it IS plugged in) just to be able to proceed with encryption? Any system files that store the state of AC adapter that I can override?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger W:
I came here with the same question. I'm not familiar with how the layers of work are split between the various people who contribute to ROMs, so can anyone at least advise where to bring this up as a feature request? These days I'm running the builds from twa_priv's thread, but maybe this work would need to happen at a more central place in the codebase.

Thanks for any pointers

You might want to try using a different charger. I discovered that if I use a 1 amp charger the led light on the power button works perfectly. That might be enough to get your process to work. I am using a generic 1 amp USB wall plug with a standard USB cable without any problems. The 3.0 kernel doesn't seem to like that stock 1.8 amp charger.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger W:
Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately a 1A wall charger doesn't seem to change this.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfisch@mfisch.com:
I believe the command you're looking for can be executed from a root terminal:

'vold cryptfs enablecrypto inplace'

I couldn't get it to run on the CM10 kindle builds, though since the encryption menu was completely missing a few weeks ago I'm not sure it works on CM10 on any build yet. I've only ever used encryption on CM9 and haven't tried that on a Kindle. There seems to be some (files?) missing pieces (you'll see in logcat : search "vold").

Possibly I may be missing a step, but I believe that's the background task that gets launched from the UI after checking for AC power.

It should be noted, if you weren't aware, that messing with encryption tasks can potentially trash your data (for example, if interrupted).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger W:
Well, the latest builds do have the AC fix in, which means that the Encrypt UI is now available. It went as far as a black screen with a large line drawing of the green andoid mascot, and sat there for hours. I assumed it was doing its thing but when it was still there in the morning, I realized I was able to edge-swipe back to Home and it hadn't actually done anything at all.

So yes, it does appear that some pieces are still missing here.

Even normal tethering is not connecting and i get a usb fail.

i've read that i need the Remote NDIS based internet sharing device driver to work i was unable to find one working.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Yes, Lte requires an lte SIM, if you are in an lte area you'll need one to get the best speeds. If lte is not in your area yet you don't really need a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Justinfedor:
All you need to do is look at the sim num and if its a 25 for 9th and 10th digit then ur good. If its less than that u need a new sim

My data wouldn't connect at all until I got an LTE sim. You can download the speed test app to confirm. Also, if you haven't modified it yet, the carrier badge will show what network you're connected to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chrstndsgnr:
They tell you that you have to have the newer sim card no matter what, that is a load of crap. If you have an older simply you have to change the APN setting, but it will still work. Only thing that wouldn't work would be LTE

The iphone has a smaller sim card doesn't it? Its probably easier to get an new sim than to get an adaptor.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Justinfedor:
It is needed if you want to take advantage of all data speeds. Yeah you can aupposedly change your apn settings but not everyone who buys an lte phone knows about changing them. When 4g lte phones first came out so many people called in cuz they got new phones. Didnt want to use the new sim ao when the data plan was put to the correct one data still didnt work. Had them use the new sim and issue resolved. End of story
