[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevenator21:
Hello,

So today I have decided to dip my brain into a little ROM Development (if you even want to call it that).

I am using this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661770 to do this.

I was going along, got the System files, but now I am stuck, and that is with the Boot.img.

Where do I get the Boot.img to use? Can I download it or do I grab it off my device somehow?

Thanks for all your help in advance!

EDIT: Can someone move this to the Q&A? I guess I was looking at the wrong section when posting. Meant to be in the Q&A!

[General Topics] bkattan:
Hello everyone,

I have a Samsung P1000 GSM tablet which i purchased from Jeddah a few years ago.

Froyo started acting up and Samsung was not releasing any new firmware updates, and so i decided to root and move up to Gingerbread.

I installed 2.3.3 JPJPC and rooted and things were good.

After a while, i installed rom manager from the market, and installed the recovery for the wrong model due to ROM manager not having P1000 listed, which was a reckless move.

Since then, the TAB gets stuck on the samsung screen, and i can tell it is actually sort of trying over and over in an endless loop.

After a few reboots, it comes back, but losing all settings (home screen empty, phone book gone, SMSs gone), and it starts with the welcome wizard (language, packet data etc...).

The bootloader at that point was giving errors about not finding android_reboot and unable to load the mcc ...i'm sure you guys know them.

I read tons of threads about this, but no one actually mentioned that this problem is intermittent! And no definite solution...

Attempts:

I tried loading JPJPD (P1000JPJPD_P1000OJPJPE_P1000JXJP4_HOME.tar) via ODIN 1.7 using gt-p1000_mr_PIT and then dbdata, same thing.

I tried using P1_add_hidden.pit, same thing

I tried using GB-Stock-Safe-v5, same thing, moved again to JPJPD, same thing.

The interesting thing is even ODIN would FAIL the complete (write) then after 1 or 2 retries, it would work (same setup).

I also installed the recovery CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS, same thing.

At this stage the recovery works well, and so after each ODIN attempt I was wiping everything...

At this stage I'm trying to figure out if the P1000 is recyclable, organic, or waste!!!:crying:

Can anything be done to stabilize this TAB ?

Thank you,

Bassem

EDIT:

After posting, i entered recovery mode and found the errors i tried describing above have come back again:

"E:internal mmc : open fail

Internal MMC checksum verify failed

# MANUAL MODE#

-- Updating application...

E:failed to mount /preload (No such file or directory)

E:install_application_for_customer:can't mount /preload"

multi-CSC is ok

now when wiping /data:

"Formatting /data....

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"

I am sure this will be fixed (which happed before) if i repeat the above steps, only to break again after a few reboots.
[myTouch 4G General] DJ Scooby Doo:
Okay, I've been following the guide from @Setherio's guide on how to downgrade and root the HTC MyTouch 4G from Gingerbread to Froyo and I get stuck at trying to downgrade the firmware to Froyo. No matter what I do, manual or fastboot, it fails and doesn't want to downgrade at all. I downloaded the PD15IMG file from the first link that directs to Dev-Host, and tried different files and they don't seem to work. They all fail. What can I do? Is it that I got a SIM Subsidy code from T-Mobile that's making it fail?

I have a MyTouch 4G Red color, Gingerbread on 2.3.4, SIM unlocked.

P.S.- I tried to post this on the guide, but it says that I need more posts to post in the developing section, so bare with me.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Copy/paste the commands.

Sometimes the commands go outside the code window space, so drag your cursor a little ways to the right when copying commands.
[myTouch 4G General] DJ Scooby Doo:
Thanks!

Thank you! I copied and pasted the code slower and I finally got it downgraded, rooted, and on AOKP's ROM. Good looking out, I can't thank you enough, lol. Such a noob mistake, but yeah.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Glad you got it!
[myTouch 4G General] headcreepz:
Lol I couldnt tell you how many times I typed all the commands out in adb when I downgraded.....I think I gave up for a couple days and then the next time I sat at my computer I was like "copy/paste=success:good:!! Glad you are rooted now.
[myTouch 4G General] DJ Scooby Doo:
Ikr, I had my MyTouch for almost 3 weeks now, and it FINALLY worked. Good looking out guys.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScrapMaker:
Looking for "Light Painting" software that uses an image as a source (not just text)

Hey guys!

I recently started playing with what people call "light painting" using my cell phone and tablet, and it can be fun... but, what I think would really be awesome is if I could pre-load an image, and have it 'paint' it as I move the device around. This is basically identical to the other light-painting apps, but none of them seem to offer this functionality.

Anyone know of something like this? I can just imagine some trippy picture I could make with this :)
[Sony Tablet S] Topo10:
I bought this tablet for about 1 months, but I noticed continuous and frequent crashes, resolved only by rebooting, when playing streaming video. It's very maddening, almost every time I want to see a video the tablet crashes and I have to reset it, it happens 2 or 3 times before being able to watch the video This also happens to you or is that just my nerd? I also find it absurd that in the package there is no the USB adapter to connect it to PC, then saw that it is virtually impossible to find in any store. At least they could do the exit with an ordinary micro usb instead of a hard to find micro usb / a? What do you think?

The micro usb is common as in the Android scene. Is it not a micro B not the square edged micro A. Its the same for Android phones, the cable I use costs USD1of EBAY including shipping halfway across the world and works perfectly in all my android devices. Same with OTG adapters USD1 of EBAY and work a treat, even synced my PS3 controller using the cheap OTG. As for the crashing, prob best to go see Sony and get a replacement, sounds like you got a dud unit. Rel 2A so Italy or Germany then...... lol

[Sony Tablet S] 4eys:
Since I update from HC to ICS, all file manager app connected to my Synology NAS no longer supports streaming anymore but keep crashing. Moreover, its Wifi signal can easily be interferenced by othdr 2.4Ghz device. Unluckily current version does not support 40Hz channel width resulting max transmission throughput to 65Mbps and not support 5Ghz for smooth video streaming experience. hope the next version Sony can note these to prevent disappointment.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hi, as you have maybe seen in the team supersonva thread, we have managed (mostly tdmcode, oisis and fromnowon for the way to get it boot) to port ICS over for 4.0 :D. For helping oisis to develop for our devices, he needs to have a device (pretty obvious no? :silly:) so I tought to donate money and buy a device to him.

Current donators with value:

Zaclimon: $35

Obsuresword: $25

Oisis: $13

Daniel644:$5

Ijimaniac: $30

GoldFlame09: $25

Also I need some suggestions like

Which device to buy (Intl or US)

Where to buy it (very cheap, maybe ebay)

If you have more ideas please post them below. :)

Current money we have/need: $108/$105

Here's the donation link in case you want to make a donation:

Finished!!

And Thanks to the people who donated :D. It's very appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] veritucis:
Amazin.co,

I think it would be great to get a international device (I have a US) because noisyfox has a patch, right? You could get a lightly used or refurb from Amazon ($120-$150). Even thought I'm a 5.0 user, it's cool reading how you guys managed to get CM9 and hopefully the kernel on the 4.0. The 5.0 forum is probably already dead, and gmillz has probably already abandoned his work. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] heat361:
The cheapest player 4.0 I could find is on eBay for $134.99 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=261048525557&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=60611713735
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
the noisyfox's patch is for 5.0 only. Also the 4.0 has a kind of system that detect the type of the device. Also be sure that the device can be sent in europe because that's where he lives.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Wait where do we donate the money too? Are you going to have like a pay pal or something like that?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I planned to use my paypal account however hanthesolo said that he was going to create one. I can put mine at OP so everyone can see.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Can we donate using a credit card? Because that's all I really have. If so I'll donate $15 dollars.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Yeah, well basically I think it's the only way to donate with paypal.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fromnowon:
Palpay is so so so unpopular in China that I couldn't give a donate now. I don't have a credit card. Our students here mostly use debit card so I couldn't active any palpay account.

Is there any other way to donate? T T
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hmm I don't know, do you know another site that can make donation? Also I saw that the players in china are cheap, do you know a place where I can buy them?

EDIT: I found a site named taobao and it looks that this one cost 90$ :p

Chineese YP-G1 buying website
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fromnowon:
Not really. Taobao is popular in China but electronic products sold in China are universally much more expensive than those in foreign countries...

So you said the one costs $90 should be a secondhand.

I ask the shopkeeper and he said those are SECONDHAND.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
All righty, then instead of giving $15 dollars I gave $25 dollars ^__^ have fun lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Alright thanks :). But that means that I can't buy it in the chineese website :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Lol why is that? :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
NVM what I said earlier. It seems that I will use an agent who will buy the thing for me and they do accept paypal.

EDIT: it seems that we would need at least $120-130 to buy the device :eek: (all included)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
I know I said I would, but can you make the account (brand new one) for the fundraiser. I didn't know how much info it wanted, and the last thing I need right now is my parents ticked off at me for making a paypal account :(.

I guess if you wanted I could talk to them about it (especially since they want me to create my own so that I can "make money" off of what I am doing :D), but that would be a LOT more work convincing them (possibly).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I can make another one but there's already mine (see at first post) running and we already have $25 (now $23 because of commission from paypal). So do I make another one or we keep mine?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Hmm, I suppose that we can use yours, if it will make it easier. I will link to your account in the ICS thread if you put a donation link up. Also, I suggest we donate an INTL device (as they are easier to dev on because of the home button issue). Perhaps someone looking to get rid of their SGP would be willing to donate their device for maybe 80-90 dollars, making it a lot easier for both parties.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The donation link is already here :silly:

EDIT: We found finally the device :D. If we include hanthesolo's donation, we need $50-55 more (approx)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Ok so this may be a little bump I know but I add the money we have and the total we need. This don't include the internationnal shipping because my donation will be the EMS express shipping to poland. It's basically for the value of the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Alright, I will ASD your link to our ICS thread to see if we gat any more donations. I will donate once we reach the necessary amount, if you are worrying about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Alright so because Hanthesolo can't give money anymore, we need to have $30-40 more. Please contribute so we can get ICS faster (If you want though but it would be very appreciated :D) Also I have contacts that can give the device instead of buying it (which would reduce greatly the price of the device.) If they can donate the device, then we will just pay for the device shipping via EMS to oisis.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Really sorry guys, I would donate, but parents haven't let me get my bank account, and they don't beleive in prepaid cards! As soon as I can get them to let me get my bank account, Ill throw in some money, if its not to late. :(

How about them and their credit cards, they think that banks don't steal identity ;). I do remember that vanilla mastercard use zip/postal code instead of full address where's visa use the full address. Anyway I have a rechargeable prepaid card so I can put my money whenever I want and pay with it like a real visa. :D Thanks though for your help :p.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Hmm, yeah, sorry I haven't been much help with the ics project; trying to get a good start on school. I will talk to them again about the prepaid, maybe they'll change their minds.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I hope too. But I just hope that we get the money in time so we can buy this device before it's gone. :p

We're almost here, we miss $40 and we are good to go! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
so if you buy an INTL device, it would still work on the US devices right?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Yes but you could have issues with the home button.

EDIT: I want to know which shipping method we have to chose: EMS or airmail. EMS would take 5-7 days and airmail obviously 14-21 days (working). The thing is the shipping with EMS cost at least $30 where's the airmail cost $10. And I will order once I have obscuresword donation.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
It is done =)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Wow you guys are unbelievable, I had recieved obsure's donation + another one (would like to know who is it to thanks him :D) of $25, it's sure that we're out of the current goal. Alright, my donation will be the EMS shipping (faster and safer) for oisis. Thanks you again, I will remove the donation link, if someone wants to pay a part of the shipping, email me. :)

EDIT: There's one only available, I hope this is the one we will have :D!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Anyone here using spotify offline synced playlists and have them continually becoming 'unsynced'?

I'm using Trinity/rasbean and within sometimes minutes, my playlists have disappeared. I have wiped the data, uninstalled, deleted the folders and reinstalled/resynced several times and the same problem occurs, so I have 2 questions.

1) If you use Trinity/rasbean, does the same occur to you? And if not...

2) what ROM/Kernel are you using?

Anyone have any general ideas?

Cheers

Hey,

So I'm actually so excited, because i am about the get the s3.. :)

But theres one more thing i want to find about before jumping in. Im going to get it on a contract and i need some tips on the bundle i should be looking for. How much data usage is going to be enough for me? Im going to use wifi like 90% of the time, but im just curious of how much data would the s3 use. Like browsing facebook, twitter, xda-forums, youtube maybe? perhaps gps now and then? How much data do these use? I dont want to do anything major over 3G just the most common surfs really.

Would 200 or 500Mb be enough?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhericurls:

I think u should also ad to the op (nrm ;)) a few simple guidelines or places/things they can go and independently research. Not spoon feeding mind u, just a starting point. here are a few examples that come to mind:

1) Underclocking/governors

2) Undervolting

3) Wakelocks (pre-established thread anyone?)

4) Droidwall/background data usage & sync

5) CPU Sleeper & alternatives

6) Auto brightness controls (cm9, lux, etc...)

7) Wifi as alternative

8) H+ instead of LTE

9) Modem/radio choice

10) Sleep/display time outs etc...

And MOST IMPORTANTLY, avoiding apps like Juice Defender
