[Acer Iconia A500] Sipek.:
Greetings community,

I know it's going to be a stupid question, but I gotta ask since I apparently seem to have failed in searching for a clear, straight forward answer.

I have a trusty A500 for almost 15 months now, but since the day I bought it, i've refrained from updating it, so it's still on 3.0.1.

But since ICS came out for it a while ago, i've been procrastinating to update it (much like my other android devices which i'm just updating now) until I guess now since HC is fairly incompatible with some of the newer stuff (although the current apps that do work still work reasonably well).

My questions are:

- Concerning the bootloader. I've looked at the posts in the development section and it seems that I will need to downgrade back to HC if I used the OTA update but that's where my understanding of it ends. Since I do still have the original 3.0.1 rom it came with, do I have anything I need to do to the HC bootloader before I begin the process of flashing a new rom to it? Asking this because I don't want to assume something I haven't been really paying attention to but from what i've seen, it doesn't appear I need to do anything to it.

- I see mentions of cpu id, not sure if it's applicable to me, but should ask

- I see my device in adb, but I dunno if I have fastboot, any easy way to confirm?

I used Iconia Root installed and it rooted my tablet ages ago, I also have Acer Recovery Installer on it as well but have not used it to install a new recovery onto it.

The following is my assumption of what I have done and need to do next, but please do correct me if i'm wrong in the steps:

Done:

- Root

- Download Acer Recovery Installer

To be Done:

- Choose a recovery to install

- Find new rom

- Flash new rom in recovery

- ???

- Profit!

With respect, I thank those who are willing to help me.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I really don't think you want to go that route.

What I would do, is install the Acer Update Enhancement tool after you've taken an OTA to 3.2. Then, you'll be able to OTA to ICS (in theory anyhow).

The reason you don't want to mess with Acer recovery installer, is that after ICS, you'll need to install a newer version CWM.

What I would do right now, before migrating to ICS, is get your current UID number. You can search for USB Deview,. or look in the UID sticky in the Dev forum. Get your current UID number, and write it down somewhere safe. Remember, after migrating to ICS, you'll need to get the new UID number, as it changes. Keep both.

The UID is used to get the SBK (secured bootloader key) so we can use NVFlash to flash the new ICS unlocked bootloader.

[Acer Iconia A500] Sipek.:
Hey MD,

Thanks for the reply.

Edited: Okay, I had some time so I looked at the multiple posts that are around, especially all the source threads for the main guide to the UNL-BL. From my understanding of all the posts so far, it doesn't seem that I need to update my HC from 3.0.1 to 3.2. I do need the SBK from the CPU ID. Most of the posts i've read seem to just say that after getting into the APX and through the steps, it seems during this process it installs CWM and after all this is done, i'm to check the device to make sure it boots before I install a new rom to it. I'm assuming this is the whole bootloader unlocking process and there isn't a separate file that I need to install during this.

If you (or anyone) could clarify anything I may have misinterpreted from reading so many different things, that'd be great.

i have a bell galaxy note 2, after i flashed some custom ROM, my phone stop working, i have found similar problem on the sprint form, but doesn't know how to fix, please help.

Problem #1:

After flashing a ROM, the GN2 is unable to activate the radio/modem. The following read "Unknown" in the "About Phone" menu:

Baseband, Network, Mobile Network Type, MEID, IMEI, ICCID.....etc. Basically anything to do with the mobile network.

Problem #2:

When booted up and running, PC will not recognize the phone as usual (unable to copy files to phone).

i try odin a bell stock still doesn't work, and when i boot into recovery it keep saying is a RWC rogers phone, does that have something to do with the problem? i also try kies too, still no luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
This has nothing to do with development.

However unless you have a backup. You'll need to return your phone for a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] minghaoji:
sorry i posted wrong place, where can i get help, i am new to this, and how do i delete this post
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aridon:
Make sure you odin a rom that included the radio and kernel. Preferably a return to stock type thing. If that didn't work did you back up your efs partition?

Also what did you flash exactly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jjzeng:
I had same situation as you few days ago, I messed up my Rogers note ii with flashed 7100 rom to my i317m. I lost baseband, network imei. Luckily, after I flashed root injected FACTORY Stock rom to my rogers phone, the problem had been fixed, here is the link where you can download the root injected FACTORY Stock rom for you phone. Hopefully, you will get your phone fixed

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] minghaoji:
i flashed a rogers rooted stock version rom on my phone, so now after i did recovery it just keep on shows is a RWC in the recovery mode doesn't matter which stock rom i flash, and its saying a BMC in the download more product name. so its really messed up. because i unlocked the phone from bell, so the guy at bell told me i void the warranty on it. now i don't know what i can do to fix my phone.

any idea where i can find a pit file for my bell note 2 so i can repartion it, or that's something only samsung has it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoso28:
This was a big issue with the gs3 and they've come up with a solution in that thread so given the similarities I would think that would work with some tweaking for the different partitions on the note 2. Check out the gs3 forum & maybe get in touch.. they might be able to help.

I am just wondering , the XP can process 1080p video capture , it should handle atleast a 480p slow motion video ?

Is this all hardware based , or is it something to do with the software and if it is , can it be done ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Forzaferrarileo:
Slow motion = slowed high speed video = 60 fps video.can be used for 0.5x 30 fps video

It can be possibile(stock JB camera app has 0.5x slowmotion) but require a good hardware for record high speed video and software to save it as slow motion(camera app principally, and libs that support 60 and more fps record)

Ive been having this issue since i bought my tablet, the thing is that in tablets the status bar is made together with the ui buttons and ive been wondering if its possible to separate them like in phones (one on top and one in the bottom of the screen) because my problem is that when i get something it displays it in the bar using all the space and i have to wait until the notification dismisses otherwise if i touch the bar it launches the app or whatever the bar is showing instead of opening the bar and it is really annoying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jconway1968:
I'm new to Android phones (iPhone convert). Anyway, I started with the GSIII and then switched to this bad boy... I believe that with the SIII when the screen would time out and you hit the home button right away it would just stay on the screen (app) that I was last using before it timed out. But, with the Note 2, it takes me back to the home screen and I have to re-launch the app - very annoying. How do I fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jconway1968:
anyone???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TraktoR6666:
I had experienced the same. It has something to do with the S voice.

on S voice setting, Did you uncheck the "open via home key" to fix home button lag?

If you did, then everytime your screen time out and you push home button right away it will take you back to your home instead of turning the backlight on the last app.

but if you didnt but still having the issue, then im out of help here. goodluck ...

Hi,

Im thinking of getting the xperia U but the lack of SD card slot is really putting me off. whats more gsmarena says that out of the 8GB available only 4 GB can be used.

Why?

whats in the remaining 4 GB, no ROM file is that big to take up 4GB. is there a way to unlock all memory for use? If that happens I would love it as I am more than content with 8GB of memory

Thank you
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] imanesaurus:
Its divided by

4GB = user available (for photo, music etc) as SDcard.

2GB = for application your installed as Internal memory

2GB = for android system
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] qazsparky:
the size can be abit of a problem but if you use it wisely you'll be ok at thats how i see it

(tip! if you want more space when you do buy the phone make sure you format the sd of it to gain the whole 4gb as half of it is in use give or take)

Hello,

I know this is a question and possibly wrong section under the iron fist but it is directly about dev so hey thought I would ask the question must people are probably pondering over.

It has been a month almost since the last EOS 3 build and others have slowed as well.

I hope this is due to 4.2 and concentration has moved from 4.1.2 to 4.2 but I have a horrible niggle the tf101 is starting to lose focus from the devs.

Fingers crossed thought I would just throw it out there.

Cheers
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
Ya questions never go in DEV so this will get deleted or moved pretty quickly. And it is a pretty old device so its understandable that development has slowed. It would make sense that EOS and CM have slowed due to 4.2 but i havent seen anything confirming it

Hello there,

TouchTimer is an easy and simple to use timer.

Using the wheels to set the minutes and seconds, its one of the quickest timers you will ever use.

If you leave the app after starting your timer, have no fear it will continue running in the background.

Partly inspired by Nokia, and our fuller featured MetroTime app, we hope you enjoy using TouchTimer.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikoniq:
So, I just had to wipe my laptop. Clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium. Was wondering, now that I'm running with a clean slate, should I run a Linux VM for my Nexus 7 development? Would that be conducive to a better, more comprehensive development environment? Would I be better off just using ADB and Eclipse in Windows? If a Linux VM is preferable, is there a particular distro that is preferable? I've heard most of the dev tools are made with Ubuntu in mind, but I want to make absolutely sure of this before I make the jump to dev in Linux. Another solution which is less preferable, all things considered due to the repartitioning involved, but probably better in the way of integration with hardware, would be to set up a dual boot with Win7/Linux...what do you all think?

tl/dr; wiped my hard drive, I want to know what works best for development.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
If you're serious about development, I really recommend dual booting. If you just want to try it out then use a VM and then if you don't like it just delete the VM.

For the Linux distro I recommend Ubuntu or Linux Mint. They're both very easy to use.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikoniq:
Thanks. I just like...I've wanted to get into dev for a while, and I just couldn't stand the workarounds and **** required for Android development in Windows. I know to build Android you have to be running Linux, and many of the guides are written taking a standard install of Ubuntu into consideration. I'll probably just start out with apps since most of my experience is in Java, maybe once I sharpen my skills with C I'll start into working on ROM mods and stuff. All I have to say is thank FSM for the AOSP.

I run VMware on Vista 64 (well I like vista) and I have a variety of Linux systems defined. Android, Rails, Reprap, etc. All Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

This works well for me. Android on native Windows was unusable.

And I really like Eclipse for an IDE.

Works well with the Android SDK and NDK.
