[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cunctator:
doing that is pretty straightforward, you just need to partition the external sd and pass the right parameter to the kernel while booting, but you still need to flash a secondary kernel ( hopefully on the SOS partition of your internal mmc ) so u will not actually get a *clean* dualboot.

It probably worths only if u wanna easily edit the rootfs content without using nvflash so much ( which u need anyway at least for the initial kernel download ).

An other advantage is that if u're planning to make lots of tests ( apt-get install *this*, autoremove *that* ... ) u will save ure internal hd a lot of read/write cicles getting some years more for ure device to live..

I did it on my B60 using OLiFE scripts, just edit the ./boot/dualboot.cfg file replacing the "root" kernel parameter with whathever partition u want ( probably blk1p1 on the simplest configuration ), format ure external ssd as u need ( you can do it right from android with a terminal emulator and fdisk/parted ), copy over ure new root partition the rootfs content of ure choise , flash the "edited" kernel with OLiFE and enjoy.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DsturbD:
like the title says, i have a KF and want to put either ICS or JB on it, but wondering what Amazon stuff i will loose or wont be able to access

i know i will loose the kindle lending library function but dont really use it anyway, but my daughter watches movies and we have prime. i tried pulling up a movie through the web browser but it says the Fire can't play HD movies and when you select to watch the SD version it wants to open the Fire movie app. is that available as an apk to push after i flash a rom to it? or do i just need flash to play it online?

anything else i will loose
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beeg Boy:
From what I understand you will definitely loose access to Prime.

You will also lose your e-books but you can reload those with the kindle app once you have the new rom installed.

I hated stock on the kindle fire, I recently rooted and am now running AlienDroid version 2.0 and I cannot put the thing down.

If losing Prime access is a deal breaker than dont do it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrojanDad:
None of my Amazon apps work since I rooted my KF.

I lost access to the Amazon App Store, and all of the apps that I got through it refuse to launch. I tried to install the android version of AAS and it would not install. I also could not install the Kindle for Android app.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DsturbD:
yeah i think those are deal breakers for me. prime is nice with the free videos and free shipping, i use that all the time. guess i'll just keep it as is

thanks

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DsturbD:
well we got an external keyboard as well and those only work with an OTG cable on custom roms, not stock fire, so it was more than just rooting it

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomos33:
Hi everyone maybe this is another dumb question but here it is:

I know through all my phones stock apps doesn't work with AOSP roms but if I'm asking this question it's because I've downloaded a MIUI and I was surprised to see the Samsung camera app and video player in it! So is it possible to make those apps work with CM10?

I know Samsung smart features are deeply integrated in the Touchwizz framework but obviously MIUI managed to make the camera and video player app work with there ROM.

Again even after my explanation my question is still dumb I'm sorry but I'd like an answer!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cochran.191:
I listen to radio broadcasts off of websites a couple times a week. The broadcasts are not available to listen to through any apps. Up until now I have had to keep my browser open while I listen to them which kills my battery because the screen has to remain on. I want to be able to background the browser and turn the screen off while still having the audio play back through my headphones. Is there any way to do this?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
The stock music player works fine for me. The thing is, and maybe it has some sort of option and I just don't know about it, but when I go out for my walks, I hate having to reach down and taking the phone out of the case from my waist to skip to the next song or replay the last song.

So I was wondering if there were any options that would allow me to maybe use the volume up down buttons or the buttons on the built in mic/volume control on the Samsung headset that came with the phone to do this?

Thank you,

Whiteice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
First off, are you rooted?

If yes, then you can try FreeGS3 ROM[/UR], it's close to stock with many tweaks including the vol up/down mod to change songs. Was looking for a flashable zip in the dev section but couldn't find one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Yes, I am rooted.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it. If you happen to come across a flashable zip for the stock rom on root, please do let me know.

With all the flashing of different roms on my Nexus 7 recently, I am burnt out right now flashing roms. I just got this phone and getting used to it, so im not looking into roms, not just yet, but eventually sure. Plus, being on Sprint, word is the JB update is coming out soon so I don't want to flash a rom then JB comes out.

Regardless, thank you,

Whiteice

[HTC One S] FatherD:
A few devices ago I was lured by the large screen of a Desire HD, this came on the back of owning the first Hero and the original Desire, both devices that I enjoyed based on the build quality and usability; I even had a great fondness for the Sense UI - then the Desire HD acted like a fraudulent thief, it was made like a chocolate teapot, the screen was the most washed out piece of s**t I have ever seen, and the real deceit was the whole solid build look, a pack of lies - the whole thing was misaligned, the covers were poorer fitting than the wrapping on many toys .. what sent it packing back to where I bought it was a software glitch (the details forgotten) and I swore off HTC as a past power, one that had promised, delivered, then hit me over the head and stole my £400, ran off burning its bridges as it guffawed!

So, I was just a little nervous when I loomed over the B-I-N button for the One-S, after my recent Galaxy Nexus was carried off by a real Muggle and sold into slavery in Bulgaria..

..my faith is restored, the screen is bright (enough), the camera is excellent, Sense4 is pretty cool .. and the icing - what a nice sexy body, well put together, solid and sleek.

Love it! :p
[HTC Sensation] BuTuCuTz:
My power button has started acting funny... when I press it it doesn't work. And worse, it turns the screen on and off by itself (like I was pushing it).

Also sometimes the back button takes screenshots instead of "back".

For the moment I use a setting in ViperS that allows me to turn the screen on with VolUp and and off with VolDown, and also attributed another action to the power button so it doesn't turn the screen on and off by itself (with Button Remapper).

The problem appeared when I was on Bruce's CM10 (though i don't think this is the problem), and then I hardly flashed ViperS.

Has anyone had this problem? Any solutions?

I hope this isn't hardware related... (It isn't under warranty)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
did you check if the back cover is pushing the button somehow and it is always pressing the contact for screen off/on the device?
[HTC Sensation] BuTuCuTz:
Yes. It's the same thing with the cover off.

It doesn't work, the keyboard just force closes. I don't understand why, I did everything like in the tutorial. Luckily, I've backed up my old keyboard.

There was a file called AxT9IME.odex, should I have deleted that too? I just deleted the original AxT9IME.apk and pasted the new one there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] truehv:
Hi,

I had baught flytouch 5 but once I recieved it, I only could find "Superpad" written on the box!!!. it is great in terms of the touch and wifi , browsing etc, but the arabic letters are displayed as disconnected, I know that is somehow will not be understood for the non-Arabic readers but, you can imagine that there is some thing wrong that makes the reading very very hard. Anyway, I started to google all the options, starting from installing a custom rom to just intall some fixes for the fonts or even font changers. but non of them worked out. the only methods left, are those that needs connecting the device to the PC , while I found there is no option in the device that changes the USB from a host to a device. and the PC does not recognize/ sens the tablet when it is connected. I had tried DSLR controller, but the device did not accept the installation. another trial with the USBcontrooler.apk also an error message that refuses the installation. I am really tired of this. Any help regarding either fixing the letters appearance or making the PC recognizing it will be highly appreciated. please if you have a solution try as much as you can to mention the details as I am totaly new to that staff :).
[Android] therealcrazy8:
So I have just started my first android app. I have been making some progress but have a long way to go. I got to a certain point where all the sudden I got the infamous "R cannot be resoved to a variable" error. I have been doing some research on this error and so far none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me. So here is what I know....

* I don't have the R.java file that I should have.

* I have recreated the project many times and will then get the R.java file until I start bringing over some of the old files to the new project, with the same project name I should add.

* I have no images or files that have caps letters in their name that shouldn't or can't have them.

* I have not changed the project name in any of the files.

* I am doing a tabbed UI and the only files that will show as having errors are my "<name>Activity.java" files. Here is what the code looks like in one of the files.

package com.example.androidtablayout;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SeedsActivity extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.seeds_layout); }
}

* I have tried restarting Eclipse

* I restarted computer even

* I have tried everything I can think of and could find online and I am know at my wits end and hope some of you pros might have some ideas as to how to resolve this ever so annoying and frustrating problem.

Thank you all in advance for the help.
[Android] therealcrazy8:
Well 24 hours later from the first post it seems im on my own on this. Well I can say after many many MANY hours of online research and troubleshooting I finally have the initial issue fixed, however, I am unable to run the app yet on my phone or on the VM. I just get the application quit unexpectedly error that we are so familiar with from time to time. Not sure if I will get help on the issue though it would be much appreciated, but I figured at the very least I would post an update.
[Android] therealcrazy8:
Well, yea me. I figured it out after all. Thank you all ever so much for your help on this.
[Android] Kavrocks:
The problem is normally in one of the XML files. I find the hardest errors stopping an R.java file from being created to find are those in the Manifest file because eclipse gives doesn't let you know there is an error there.

I have to say your title intrigued me, I didn't realise it was infamous.

Good luck with your app.

They are on ebay, appear to be two toned, a mesh like plastic over a rubberized case.. just wondering the quality and how much bulk it adds

[Galaxy S III Accessories] txkorm:
I actually just purchased 3 of them for just under $13. Here's a pic of the two I've received so far. Waiting on a white with blue mesh to come in. I figured I can mix and match if I want to. I found the cheapest ones on Amazon that I could find. I really like the feel of them as far as size goes. The only problems I've run into is the USB slot is not big enough for all cords. The other problem is lining the layers up. So far they were worth the money for some variety when I want to mix it up a little.

Currently not being productive on my S3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] oasis9389:
Cool thanks. So you can remove the mesh part and swap it out. I am going to pick some of these up
[Galaxy S III Accessories] txkorm:
Yep. Just make sure you are buying the same type. I've noticed two different types that differ a bit at the top.

Hey, I am retiring my note (went to Sprint and am rocking a rooted SGSIII now) and need a full tablet rom with all phone functions diabled. Reason being as I am gonna use it as an expensive media tablet for my 3 year old. Yeah, I know.

Anyhow, anyone out there with a rom that can accomplish this or anyone out there wanna back me a Jellybean (I love Butter, it goes good on almost anything) or ICS tablet rom for this beast? I would be much appreciative for such an endevor on your port (hehehehe I said port, not part)

Why not just take the sim out then you can't use any phone functions internet will still work with WiFi if you choose
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s89281b:
use a launcher like apex that will let you hide apps then hide phone, mms and anything else you dont want your child messing with. you can also lock homescreen so cant change anything but you can still get access if need. cm roms will also let you disable menu key so they cant get into settings. you would just have to unlock desktop and add shortcut to get back to settings and renable when need to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Agreed ....

At least this way you will still have wifi ...

And if you really want to get creative ...

Remove the junk you don't want from the rom ...

But it's "highly " unlikely that a dev will port a non functional tablet rom to this device, since we already have everything we need to run tablet mode on the note already ...g
