[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoss_n2:
I've seen many reviews on youtube that were actually enabling powersaving mode while reviewing (this reduces performance by about 50 %) my advice to you is to try both devices yourself before you buy anything, anyway good luck with your choice, and if you already bought the nexus 10 just forget whatever i said and have fun with it, it is still a very good device :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daLareid:
Thanks! and yeah I guess I won't even know for sure until I try both of them out :) haven't bought it yet, but your input is definitely appreciated.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gacostac:
I sold my Ipad 2 and bought a Note 10.1, my first android device. After playing with it for 3 days i returned it.

I didn't like its cheap construction and it seemed slow to me. Loved the S-Pen, SD card and the multi-window.

And now i got a N10 and love it all the way. Love how it works, how it feels, looks, performs, etc.

but if Samsung releases a new Note 10.1-2 or something like that with the N10 performance and screen, i will sell my N10 and buy it in a second.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eatonitis:
I came within a hair of buying the Note 10.1, spent hours playing with them at the local stores. Got a lot going for them. A 3g version, microSD plus the Spen and multi windows. I decided on the N10 first for the screen and second as it will get Android updates first and way before the Samsung.

In the hand I really think the N10 feels faster and smoother in use. I don't think I've regretted the Nexus for a moment.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandix:
Okay, I know there is a tutorial for this already, but I am making a new one for a new version of the software that is out.

This tutorial uses Windows XP as an example, you may replace Windows XP with other OS if you want!

***Required Software/Hardware***

SOFTWARE:

-Limbo Emulator (QEMU BASED) for Android(Play Store)

-qemu manager for PC (Windows/MAC/Linux)

-OS Installer CD/DVD(ISO is okay too)(E.G. Windows 2000-XP, Ubuntu, Etc.)

HARDWARE:

-High-end Phone(1GHZ Dual-core recommended although ANY phone WILL work.)

-PC

-USB Cable, etc

-At least 5GB free on SDcard OR Phone.

MISC:

-LOTS OF TIME!!!!

-Root (optional)

STEPS:

Step One:

Download all the required software. Install them to the respective device.

Step Two:

- Open up QEMU Manager and create a new VM, USE QEMU32bit for the processor, and Windows XP as the OS (Because the variables are predefind.)

-Select Make new drive and make a Hard Drive that is 3GB-5GB in size.

Make sure it is in qcow2 format!!

(Please note: after installation, the file size will only be 1.49GB)

-Mount the ISO/CD inside qemu manager in the VM settings and begin installation of the OS to the drive.

(This step will take at least 2HOURS! Let it do its thing.)

-After your first successful boot, Shut down the VM from within the VM (Windows XP VM: Start->shutdown->Shutdown)

Step Three:

-Connect the phone to the computer.

-Mount USB Storage.

-Find the Hard Drive file (Usually Installation/images folder!) and copy it to any directory of your SDcard (No spaces in the names and directories!!!)

- Install Limbo Emulator, and then Launch it!

- Select Load VM and hit New give it any name you would like it doesnt matter.

- then make sure the settings are as follows:

~CPU: qemu32

~RAM Memory Size: 256

~Hard Disk (HDA): /mnt/sdcard/{Location of your qcow2 file}

~Network Configuration: User

~Network Card: ne2k_pci

~VGA Configuration: cirrus

******Please note: if the option is not in the above list Leave it at it's default setting!!!!!!!! or this will not work (For Windows XP)

There you go, Go ahead and hit start!

Things to know:

One, it will take awhile to boot up on any phone (5-30 Minutes)

Two, Emulation is never perfect.

Optional Steps:

Getting more RAM for your BUCK

********NOTE: THIS STEP IS NO LONGER REQUIRED, THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN UPDATED TO ALLOW FOR 1GB OF RAM*******

ROOT ONLY

Go ahead and Exit and Kill the Limbo Task.

With root explorer go to /data/data/com.max2idea.limbo/databases/

and edit limbo.db with an SQlite editor of choice.

Find your VM in the Table and edit max memory size to 512 or more!

Remember how much ram your phone has then divied that by 2, and thats the maximum you SHOULD use, but edit this at your own risk!!!!!!

After this MOD, DO NOT EDIT ANY SETTINGS IN THE LIMBO APP AS IT WILL OVERWRITE THIS MOD.

Thats it enjoy!!

File missing

Hi guys,

just for fun i tried to get this to work on my overclocked evo 3D, unfortunately without success.

It says a file is missing or broken (<Windows Root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe)

Can I fix this using my PC or do i have to install my XP again on another VM?

EDIT: I reinstalled my Windows XP and tried it again. When I noticed it still won't work, i tried to change the settings. After playing a bit with them i'm able now to boot into windows without problems. But i got stucked at the desktop, so i rebootet, now it don't works again..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandix:
Try a different windows install cd. Do not use the one you have been trying to use. I believe that is the reason it will not boot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandix:
Make sure multithreaded AIO is disabled.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FuNcY:
Well sandix, AIO Multithread has never been enabled, so I enabled this & tried it again.. This time it booted successfully and without any problems. The only bad thing is, how slow it runs. So I#m going to give it up to 512mb RAM, hopefully it makes it a bit faster
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandix:
I understand, but the multithreaded AIO is what caused my vm to give the same error. Anyway try what you can. XP is slow but i have had pretty decent results from windows 98 and 2000. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandix:
Oh, another OS that will work decently is windows PE.

Try make a BartPE out of a windows XP CD. A.k.a WinPE. The ram requirements of WinPE are very low. (Like windows 98) so it should respond better.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandix:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandix:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] holdmyheadwhileipuke:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migna:
hey mate.

same problem here in Italy with TIM operator.

They said me that is a problem of cell location as the problem occours only when I am in some location in my city and not, for example, in my work city (Milan)

Furthermore, I have not experienced this problem with other operators which I tried so in my case it's absolutely a provider problem! Have you tried another sim card?

(I'll descrive my problem as you can say we are talking about the same: when I'm connected (and only when I am!) I see the icon H/3G in the top right of the device. In few minutes this icon disapppears and for 1-2minutes I'm not able to use data connection, even if the data is still active of course!After this short period the icon appears again and so on and on!).

[General Questions and Answers] wackybrained:
Hi,

Is it possible to detect/measure car's acceleration or deceleration through a smartphone accelerometer ?

If yes, is it possible in all new smartphones ?

and how to implement it in android ? :confused:

Thanks :)
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
Depending on what you want to do, you'd have to figure out how best to filter out regular movement of a person just picking it up and putting it down, say - I don't know what the data on that looks like and how you could distinguish, et cetera. Or if the phone is sensitive enough to pick up anything meaningful beyond the sort of hard stop that would send it flying to the floor or whatever (they do seem pretty sensitive, but you'd have to test it).

You can determine speed using the GPS and it's pretty accurate (but this will use a lot of battery) and would naturally filter out small movements of a person using it within the vehicle. Implementation, I have no idea on that.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molimo:
Hi every body,

I have been searching about 2 weeks in these threads but i couldn't find my answers.

I have a T-mobile samsung vibrant phone and I am slightly amateur about changing my ROM.

1- Is there any differences between T-Mobile and Samsung vibrant except sim-Lock? Can I use the ROM which mentioned in sasung vibrant thread?

2- I have 2.1 stock- rooted without CWM recovery yet, can I flash 2.2 ? if yes how(I don't have high speed internet connection so I prefer to flash it on my phone)?

3- How can I use CM ROM? Is it required to have special bootloader or something els? what are the bugs of CM Roms?

4- Please help me,

Thank you thank you thank you
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Ok

1. The phone IS the Samsung Galaxy S

T-mobile Vibrant SGH-T959. It comes sim locked fro tmo but it can very easily be unlocked by an app from playstore, if youd like but isnt required to flash custom roms. So yes Samsung vibrant=T-mobile vibrant.

2. The official 2.2 from Samsung is installed through kies mini but dont do it! There probably is an official odin image floating around as well but again dont worry about that. You are at the best place to begin using custom roms. All you need is to flash cwm recovery and its go time. I will link some threads for you. **You may run into some issue not having HS internet connection as there are a lot of files that need downloaded.**

3.In order to use a CM rom, you must have a custom (CWM) recovery. As far as boots, there are froyo bootloaders and gingerbread bootloaders. Most roms are fine with froyo boots, some recommend GB boots, some require GB boots and all will work with GB boots so its best to install GB boots. Any known bugs on a custom rom are usually posted in op. Some bugs in alpha and beta builds might not have been reported yet. Thus far, cm7 7.1-2=stable, cm9=stable, cm10=stable, cm10.1=beta. I havent used it myself but check the thread for bugs.

Read this thread first! It is the vibrant bible from N00B, a must read.

there is a moderator there who has deodexed and fixed some of the problems with the stock rom

Installing and flashing CWM for this phone is not for the faint of hearted. Using the MTK flash tool and creating your own scatter flash file and even your own up to date CWM is advisable. There is a thread on here which explains how to do the flashing and creating your own CWM recovery.

Or you use the CWM by the spanish forum and their instructions

[General Questions and Answers] ingramator:
Thanks for the pointers guys, I was unable to escape the bootloader!
[General Questions and Answers] whetstone:
its not a guide as such but might help in giving more pointers.

I managed to replace the existing recovery and replace it with my own generated CWM recovery.

In order to do this I followed this guide!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923764 which has a link to a tutorial

I went and installed the droid kitcen and MT6577 plugin as well in order to create my own recovery as that was my prefference. use any files of the internet at your own risk or lower the risk and DIY it!

This is curtesy of yuweng who did all the hard work writing it up.

Regarding to my phone which is classed as an S7180 or N7100+

I found this website

http://gt35pro-mobile-gadgets.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/hdc-s7100-note-2-is-now-renamed-hdc.html

He also gives out the links to which packages to download inlcuding a CWM recovery.

**************************** disclaimer *************

Don't use a scatter file that you did not create using the tools that yuweng is referencing to in his thread and tutorial!!!!!!!!!

if you use the wrong scatter file you flash the recovery into the wrong section of memory and therefore run at a HUGE risk of bricking the phone

***************************** disclaimer end *************

In essence the order I did things in

Backed up my original recovery using the Flashtool

Created my own CWM recovery using the Android Kitchen which needs the MT6577 tool and plugin installing as a mod (search XDA for the guide as to hoto do the install and yuweng also has a tutorial on how to add the MT6577 recovery generation for this)

Using MTK Droid tools to generate my own scatter file. ( a scatter file is like a memory map as to where the start and is and in this case the map for the CWM)

then using the Flash tool i flashed it using my scatter and my previously created CWM. See yuweng tutorial.

Again Gregg has provided a CWM, I can't comment on it as I never tried it.

anyway the moment i had CWM, I flashed the ROM that was on that blog page. Which came of the spanish forum originally. And they are now on version 1.2 las time I looked. 1.0 fixes a few things, i am using 1.1 as 1.2 removed the touchwiz look a like launcher and my 3D sheep widget :)

TIPS

* Driver installation is crucial to succesfully flashing with the FlashTool

- Switch phone off and remove the battery, then plug it in. Complete that driver install

- Re-insert battery and check without booting it you will notice that it does not have the same behaviour as with battery...very odd...still do it just in case

-boot it up and once ready put it in USB debug mode and connect usb lead and let the driver install complete

* READ THE TUTORIALS - Seriously i spent 1/2 day nonstop checking things

* Don't do this if you are not sure about what you are doing at all.

* Check your scatter file values for where the recovery is going to be flashed at least 4 times before commiting them into the flashtool. It pays to be safe!!

* Dont get freaked out by Hex values when you put them into the flashtool. if it looks wrong then check again. Only when you press the download button in the flashtool with your phone attached will it start.
