[General Questions and Answers] infinity3434:
Hello everyone,

I am newbie Android ROM development. Nowadays I try to port a specific custom ROM(a special ROM for my company) for Galaxy Tab2 10.1 (GT-P5100). But there is a point that I cannot figure out.

First of all I downloaded android ICS source code and apply my company's module patch to this source. Then I found device and vendor tree for my GT-5100 device and put it my source tree. Finally I built Samsung GT-P5100 kernel and put output file to correct place. At the end of these operations, I compiled all device tree successfully, now I have out/target/product/p5100 file which contains boot.img, system.img, userdata.img etc.(I attached an image file). Everything is fine untill this point. Normally in fastboot mode, I use "fastboot flashall -w" command and img files are automatically flashed to device. But GT-P5100 does not support fastboot mode.Question is this: How can I flash these img files(out/target/product/p5100 file) to the device? I searched lots of threads but cannot find a solution. I also tried to create a ROM which includes system file, boot.img and META-INF file. However it is not worked. Because create a META-INF file is very complicated and I have to find a quick flash option.

I need your helps.

Thanks,

------------------------------------------------------

Edit:

Finally I found solution. Just nedded to use command : make -j4 otapackage and then I get the ROM package to flash this AOSP.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcninja:
As much as I really want the nexus 10 I'm having second thoughts... for the 500 + shipping I could get a really bomb ass tv.

I'm conflicted.

I know people on here will say go for the tab... and i really do miss having a tab since I sold my tf700... but should I get a tab since I already have a cell phone? I mean it's nice to have, but at the same time I'd really only use it when I'm traveling which isn't too often...and even then i've got my cell phone with games on it. ugh. what to do, what to do...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeBuck:
Well, i think it depends on how often you travel? From my point of view i'm kinda in the same boat, with the added thing of having a young boy who gets bored in the car quite quickly, I was debating if I should buy one or not for the same reasons, then thought, well I can get a holder for the car, then the boy can use it to watch Nemo over and over and over and over again! lol, or play games or do whatever.

So do I want to pay £150 ish to get a half decent DVD player for the car, or can i justify a tablet? I can justify, between me using it when traveling, the missus, and the boy, then yes its worth it.

I think you know if you want it or not, if your racking your brain trying to find a reason to buy it, you don't need it. save your money. When it comes down to it, this is gunna change the tablet market with Android, all the other makers are gunna have to react, in 6 months, with the tegra 4 chips and everything else then their will be better out their. so wait.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcninja:
I'm actually thinking what do I use a tablet for that my phone doesn't do? Not much. I do game on them if I'm traveling, but I don't travel that far for more than a day or two very often. I actually had a nice gaming laptop that I gave my wife because I never really used it when traveling. lol

nexus 7 AND a tv is looking like a better option right now... or maybe just a really nice tv.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
Or get a really nice tv and stream your phone screen to the tv instead.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
Yeah but what can a 7" tablet offer what a mobile phone can't? Neither is as comfortable for browsing and media consumption as a print quality 10" tablet, and this is why I have no interest in 7"-ers. A phone and a 10" tab. Phone and convertible. Phone and ultrabook. Phone and desktop computer. Phone and... a slightly bigger phone? Meh.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
If you're unsure, hold out, it can be a lot of money to some people. Wait at least until some solid reviews are out and make a decision.

You should only be an early adaptor if you can justify spending the cash on something you really don't need.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcninja:
ya I want another tablet for sure, but the infinity kind of burned me with the horrible io performance. i will wait until i'm in a better financial place after the holidays and see what third party tablet makers put out since the nexus 10 will obviously be a big influence for them if they want to compete.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTabJosh:
I'm still expecting Google to make a price/storage adjustment in a couple months, just like they did with the N7. Don't think I mean that the base price will drop below $399 tho.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
Mmhm.. and you'll get about half the usability of a tablet. Same virtual real estate as a phone, scaled up to a big and beautiful 40". Nice.

Personally, I'm planning on both the 4 and the 10 from the Nexus line. I see the phone as a more portable substitute for the 10 if I'm not hauling my bag around, plus it's quicker to just pull out of my pocket. But if I'm on a train or otherwise waiting/chilling in one place (like on my bed or something), I'd rather I had the tablet. That's why I haven't considered a 7-inch tablet, either.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreepyDroid:
It depends on how much you use your phone. I was convinced that tablets are gimmicky and useless until I bought a galaxy note and started using it for all my media consumption, games and Web browsing. Recently I even started to get annoyed with how small my note was (desktop websites look cramped) so I pulled the trigger this week and got my first tablet.

Long story short, if you don't feel like you absolutely need a tablet (or if you really need that tv) then hold on a little bit.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croak:
I've got a 4.3" phone, a 4.7" phone, a 5.3" phone, four (count 'em, 4) 7" tablets, an 8.9 inch tablet, used to have a 10.1 (and next week I'll have a N10).

Different horses for different courses. Phone is always with me, so it gets a lot of use by default...when I'm not at home. Once I get home, it goes on the charger and unless I get a call or text, I don't use it. It's an inferior entertainment/consumption device compared to a tablet.

My 7" tablets also travel with me quite a bit, often coming to work with me, and I'll whip out my current favorite, the N7, when I'm on a longer trip by plane, train, or automobile instead of my phone. It'll move about the house or hotel room with me as, mostly for ebook reading and light surfing. Biggest benefit is much better battery life than my phone so no in-flight charging worries, and it's damned near perfect for books (and light surfing).

My 8.9/10" tablets are more for home use, and usually hang out near the couch. I'll bring one on a trip if it's for more than a few days, but it never comes to the office with me. At home though, it gets used a LOT. Besides the couch, it's my bathroom Netflix/DLNA weapon of choice, it's a better surfing and magazine experience, and in some cases a better gaming experience as well. Plus hands-down it's better for productivity tasks (documents and spreadsheets) than a phone or a 7" tablet.

So I have a use case for all my various sized Android devices, and there's no one-size-fits-all device in that collection. But if I had to cut my devices down, I'd be able to get by with just the phone and a 8.9-10" tablet. The 7" is nice, but a bit more narrow-focused (and I could probably sub my N7 out for a good Kindle or Nook eInk device, if it came to that, since it's mostly used as a reader).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcninja:
got a nice 42 inch sharp aquos 120hz tv... but i still have the void that a tablet should fill. LOL I think i'll wait not only due to money reasons, but to see if a 64gb comes out, or if I really would even use one... I think a 7inch phone is what i'm holding out for one portable device i can use on the couch, the bed, or anywhere and it'll have enough screen real estate... but the nexus 10 looks oh so good. If sprint had the 7 on mobile contract i'd buy it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecopy:
Dear developers, I have searched thru the forum, but found no answer yet. So, please, if you know the definite answer, share it with me and the community.

The question is: on Android devices I experience lag between actually touching the screen and the event when the application knows about this touch (about 0.1s). Is this a mandatory for Android in general, or is this the limitation of hardware I have tried, or is this a limitation of Android versions prior to 4.1 (I haven't tested JB yet)?

I'll try to explain what I mean. I have tested several musical apps for Android and they ALL lag. I press the virtual button, and only after a gap I hear the sound, which makes it all unusable in realtime. When I tested iOS based devices the response was just immediate. So I'd like to know if Android device can ever do such things at all, or I shouldn't expect that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecopy:
I have tried several of custom 4.1's but no luck. The same lag. Can anybody tell me if this lag is a must for android platform? Or are there people who are not experiencing such thing?

Can anyone recommend a high quality screen protector that covers the entire screen?

Spigen's 2-3 mm gap on each side is NOT the same as covering the entire screen.

Can someone comment on Zagg?

I don't think any of them go right to the edge, because the glass is not perfectly flat.

It is slightly rounded off toward the edges.

Full Screen Cover

I heard from a manager of Realook that it will be launching a soft protective film that provides 100% convex screen cover for the SGN II. I will post a review and some pics once I have mine covered. I am told that he will be getting the supply within a few weeks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
Will the S pen leave marks on these soft ones?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] awrnsmn:
I have the zagg "smudge proof" and it doesn't scratch or leave marks with the s pen. Also has absolutely no rubbery feel, orange peel effect or sticky feel. My finger glides better across it then the glass itself and is actually FULL screen. It is a wet apply but I didn't have any issues at all. (Normally I hate zagg for the rubbery orange peal crap but this one is great)

I bought it from best buy just fyi.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bmoreboy02:
I bought this off ebay. I previously had the one from sprint store in but it only covered screen and the stylus scratched it real easy. Ive had this on for 2 days and no scratches

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009KT4ONQ/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00

is pretty darn close to the edge on mine and fits well around the top speaker and camera hole, although it is just a straight cut out not invididual holes for everything but for $4 shipped seems I have no complaints compared to the zaggHD or skinomi I had on my GS3. Stylus is not leaving imprints but I have only been playing with it for about 7 hours so far

Me too. I've been looking everywhere for a 100% decent SP for my note but none available atm. Sad really. The one who makes kne can stand out fron the crowd :s
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] graveghoul:
Moshi IVisor Anti fingerprint, Anti Smudge Screen protector is available on the AT&T website. It fit edge to edge on my original Note (of course i was using one made for the OG Note) and im going to order this one for my Note 2. It was thick (not too think) and really resilient. And i really likes the schnazzy black coloring around the buttons :) Although on the website it says it will ship within 14 business days but is available to order. I dont know if that means it's on backorder or what but, im going to give it a try anyway. Its totally worth the money. I had it on my OG Note for 6 months and after countless use of finger, spen, drops, and rough encounters with sharp edges, it lasted through and through. I even was able to remove it, wash it, and reapply it no problems.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] angryphoton:
I am currently trying this one now,

http://www.bodyguardz.com/screenguardz-samsung-galaxy-note-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-shields-skins-films.html

it covers the entire screen but jury is still out on how good it is. They say it takes 72 hours to fully cure (gel application) but in all honestly, it feels a bit soft.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Kawaisa:
Those wet application protectors don't play well with the S-pen.

Hi I was wondering if anyone can guide me through dual booting the latest WP 7.8 build and Android JellyBean v.1.2. I love both but can't seem to dual boot both. It's either one or the other.Thanks in advance.

But that forum doesn't say what to do once you install WP7. Like how to install android JB to dual boot both. I want to dual boot the latest builds for both.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Iojjj:
Emm... It says you must do reset of you phone from settings (or hard reset from magldr). Then you should don't let your phone boots (just stay in magldr). Remove your card from phone and put it to PC's card reader. Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create more partitions (fat32 and ext4). And there you go. Try to boot WP7. If it boots normaly just install Android as NativeSD.

You will be lost any of your data on SD.

I think those tutorial is clearly enough. Hope you can repeat all of this steps.

I too, am finding the various tutorials a bit confusing. I used MAGLDR V1.13 and successfully installed Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS 7.10.8835.35 v8.5. My goal is to e able to dual boot the installed WP7 and MIUI_JB_2.9.14_NATIVESD. THIS tutorial, was followed to partition sdcard, but I'm still confused when it comes to installing the SDNATIVE Android ROM.

Do I install cwm?

I probably should state that my volume down button in not working by the way.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Iojjj:
There is a sentence from those tutorial:

copy the "TOUCH" or "TWRP" or "RECOVERY" folder your SD Card (they all do the same thing)

you should copy recovery folder to sd card.

You can do hardreset from WP settings anyway. And magldr has looping menu, I think.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Sword King:
lojjj, I too have attempted to follow that series of tutorials, and finally succeeded, but due specifically to the part you are mentioning, it took me HOURS. There is no "Touch", "Recovery" or "Tap" folder on a freshly partitioned SD card with 4extRecovery on it. The instructions are absolutely extraneous and cause confusion. Moreover, instructions for using HD2Toolkit to partition the card are useless for triple booting if one has already partitioned using a card reader in your computer. Yes, it can be done, but doesn't need to be done if one has followed the instructions up to that point.

The other problem is that one needs to combine three or more tutorials just to do this, and they sometimes have different options, but no reason given for choosing those options. This may be the best tutorial out there, pictures and everything, but still a far cry from being perfect or complete. Oh, and sometimes the tutorials are continued in another post, which also leads to confusion.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Iojjj:
You're looking for this ones? The link provides at the top of first post. There are a lot of recoveries with NativeSD support. You need to download one of them, unpack and copy to root of SD Card. And then you can get to Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > Recovery.

Maybe I'm wrong cause I never did such things. Good luck :fingers-crossed:

[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
Yesterday I found the update via OTA (.20), I downloaded and installed but the operation is not successful (appear the android with an exclamation point).

Has restarted writing that was restored the old firmware (.18)

Seeing the information on the TAB I find that still has the .18 firmware and now, even by searching manually update via OTA tells me that there are no updates available!

How can I fix? I have to wait for another update?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755576

Try those methods.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
It is updated just like the OTA or install the whole ROM?

I have the root and over the OTA is preserved, with the Flash ROM rather miss it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You don't want this, it's going to wipe your root. You need to use the incremental update (dlpkgfile file method).
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
I just tried the method with dlpkgfile but as has happened with the update via OTA appeared the green robot with an exclamation mark and has not been updated. I'm still at .18!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You did as following?

copy the dlpkgfile to /cache then set permissions to rw-r-r.

copy the "command" file to /cache/recovery, then set the file's permissions to rw-r-r.

Temp-unroot with OTA Root Keeper.

Power off.

Reboot holding power on and volume down, when you see white text message on the screen release both buttons

Press volume up to confirm recovery mode.

Update will install and upgrade your device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
I did this procedure but as was the case for the update via OTA appeared the green robot with an exclamation mark and has not been updated. I'm still at .18!

Have you modified your tablet? like edit the build.prop file, freezing system apps etc...?

Just got the hox+. What bothers me is the little lag when scrolling on Homescreen. Is there anything i can do about it.?

Thanks
[HTC One X+] kuailan:
Lag??:confused: Now that's a surprise. Anyway, try switch off the power save mode (by pulling down the notification bar). I believe when you are in power save mode, your CPU clock is also downgraded. It should help.....Honestly it shouldnt even lag with or without power save mode. I even have weather clock full animation on, and not even a single lag. Would you happen to install a lot of stuff? (that may run in system background) or even live wall paper??
[HTC One X+] Omega Prime:
I agree with the above post...there should not be any lag at all. I have over 30 apps installed on my home screen alone with various widgets along with power saver mode enabled and I am yet to see any lag whatsoever. :o
[HTC One X+] hamdir:
for most it would be a rogue app acting busy in the background
[HTC One X+] Roybenz:
I dont have live wall. Ony contact widget and evernote widget and weather clock. Closed all apps and restart and it Still lags. Very little but its there. Compared to my s3 its a bit laggy. Im disappointed.

Sounds like a bunk phone. Even the original HOX has zero lag on the homescreen, lol! I'd return it for another if that's the case

Well wot I did was to install Apex launcher... I love HTC sense but it's better with a launcher... I was on launcher pro on my rooted DHD but ADW & launcher pro suck now... Apex is the best ! So with this launcher there's NO lag... Maybe sometimes just a tad bit but not as much as before...
[HTC One X+] deeznuts:
Does this Apex Launcher with the HOX+ still have Sense 4+ enabled as well? Sorry im new to android and picking this device up the day it's released to ATT in the US this friday, very excited. Never owned or used any android device in my life and coming from iphone so this world is very new to me.

Seems like Apex Launcher basically unlocks the Sense or at least offers many ways to customize it as you wish which sounds amazing! Just like Springtomize 2 for iphone. Is this correct? You say it works well with this device and the Pro version of Apex Launcher works just as great if i decided to upgrade it after trying it out? Thank you
