Hey [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION]

You were right again. It is a DVD drive. In XP Pro SP2 it was just a CD but after installing SP3 it shows up now as a DVD/CD. Getting Mint 15 32 bit now instead. The DVD drive bay load door is scratched and faded, so I couldn't tell just by looking at it, and was going off what Windows device manager was showing in its tree. I did initially pop a DVD in and it couldn't read it which further substantiated that it was a CD and I never questioned it. Turns out the DVD I tested it with was a DL, and this is only a SL DVD drive. Now I have a 1.7GB limitation, not 700MB which opens up most iso options. But I still have no boot from USB option in my BIOS. I'll look to see if there's an updated BIOS available to open up that option. It would be very nice to have a few thumb drives with different Linux distros to test drive, and a puppy Linux on my key chain.

Live Mint 15 Mate

Hey @_that-

Coming to you live from Linux Mint 15 Mate. I guess when running this off a live CD, there is no way to copy a file to /etc is there? I opened it as administrator, and it still wouldn't let me copy the file because this directory is on the CD, not the HDD, correct? I was trying to get my Synergy connected between my MS PC and my other PC running live Linux so I can share my mouse and keyboard seamlessly without my KVM switch. I'm impressed with how easy this is to setup. Also with your ability to see me as a Windows transitional user, and point me to Mint and not Ubuntu. I like it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I don't know about the live environment - it's normally only used to install the OS to a real hard drive. :) I find it still strange that your PC doesn't support booting from USB. Maybe that's a sign that you really should install Linux on a HDD. :)

2 monitors, 1 keyboard, 1 mouse? Yes, Synergy is nice.

And why Mint: I simply don't agree with Mark Shuttleworth's direction where he is taking Ubuntu - fortunately there are alternatives in the OSS world. I consider Mint as the "sane", i.e. actually usable, version of Ubuntu. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Yes, this is my work environment now. I have two Dell Precisions, one a 690 and the other a T3500. You got it, two monitors, 1 kb, 1 mouse. Downloading and installing Wine now. I am interested to see if I can run Solidworks on Linux thru Wine. Wow, Linux had come a long way. "sudo apt-get install synergy". All the terminal commands I learned for Android are very useful now, thanks!

ps-"sudo -i" works like a charm.

[Edit] Doesn't look like SW wants to run on Linux loaded thru Wine. I figured as much, but it was worth a try.

Video is not bad at all, despite all I've read. They really must have clean it up for 15. Picture is good, sound is good, seeking is a bit slow, and my biggest complaint is there is no stretch or zoom to fill the entire screen. You have to select from predefined aspect ratios and get as close as you can. Android has better tools in this area than Mint, or maybe it more closely matches a standard aspect ratio like 16:9 for 1920 x 1200 is close (1.77 vs 1.6). Ok, _that's it for the day. Got to get some real work done here now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Regarding the live environment, its used all the time to test drive different Linux distros before deciding which one to finally install. That's the beauty of a free open OS and a 50 cent DVD and its advantage over a flash card in this case, if you wanted to test 3-5 different ones (back and forth, not sequentially) before deciding on *the one* to finally install to HDD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I have no idea what you are talking about. There are lots of media players to choose from, and all that I know have a fullscreen mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
What I mean is by toggling full screen in Mint, its less than full screen because the movie aspect ratio of its recorded resolution is preserved in the scaling function. So there are still black bands either high/low or left/right if you don't play with the player aspect ratio (4:3 vs 16:9) to best match that of your movie in the distros fullscreen mode with the stock player. Which ever limits to extents first in the scaling horiz or vertical DPI defines the "fullscreen" size you get which is less than a full screen. A zoom function does not but a stretch function does override the recorded aspect ratio to fill the full screen (I'm talking about TV's and Dice/BS/MX Player features now, not what's in the Linux default distro player) so with stretch you can get a distorted picture (disproportionate scaling) but not with zoom. These are not included in the stock distro player.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I am using mplayer for video playback - I don't know if that is still included in end-user-focused distros like Mint, but it's one of the most powerful video players that exist. Mplayer has no GUI at all (everything is controlled via the keyboard) - and the "f" key toggles between fullscreen and window.

Where do I get this transparent system monitor desktop (overlay?) from? I saw it on a youtube vid for Mint 13.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I don't know - maybe Conky.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
[MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] even your maybe's are correct. Take a look. Did it with conky! I still have some font issues I am working on. Compiz is very cool too. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Its over - the chip contact(s) are damaged

Well, after trying *everything* I am giving up on this as I'm now convinced the contact(s) associated with the erase function is open. Nothing (DOS(chkdsk, format)/Windows(SDFormatter)/Linux(GParted)/Wii(SBFS Manager)/Xbox(format)/Alcor MP Tool can erase or format the card. And its nearly full. Time for an RMA.

If this didn't do it on Linux, nothing will: :(

dcfldd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1M

[Edit] I decided since all my personal data is locked on this card, I will have to destroy it. I can't risk it getting lost in the mail or making its way to a dumpster then into someone else's device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Give it a proper funeral
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Loosing out on my warranty wasn't sitting well, so just for the heck of it I called Sandisk and explained my situation. Life is a flee market, you just need to know how to negotiate with people. I stated my case and that I would not feel comfortable mailing them my card unless it was first destroyed, and they agreed to replace it under RMA after receiving my old card which they allowed me to DRILL A HOLE INTO IT before mailing. Now that's some stand-out customer service!!

####################################################################################################################

I also got some VERY important info out of the Sandisk CS/tech that I spoke with. Apparently, within the last 2-3 months they've upgraded the firmware on these cards due to some incompatibilities (that can lead to corrupted data and possibly problems like this) with newer phones/devices. Maybe that's what happened here, and with others who have experience corruption with this card?! They sure seemed more than willling to replace it without even testing it, after I discussed all the ways I tried to format/partition/erase the data and couldn't. I think the CS/tech new it had self-corrupted and said this was a fairly common problem with the older firmware cards running on newer devices. Beware. I couldn't get any firmware revision info from him and I can't read the info on the back of my card - its text is half the size of the bootloader menu text (4.1.1.) and I can barely read that.

What is the most stable 4.2.2 AOKP ROM for this device? Also would you recommend that or CM10.1 RC5 for stability and features?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phr3ak128:
Could you please write we what is that AOKP?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Personally the most recent AOKP are pretty stable. You can use whatever you want based on your needs/wants in a ROM. If you find a rom that doesn't fit your expectations you should switch to another one. Play around with them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
AOKP = Android Open Kang Project. Its a rom with lots of customization options.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
All Nexus roms are pretty stable for the most part and bugs won't affect your day-to-day usage.

I personally prefer Carbon. It has goodies from AOKP, CM, Paranoid Android's "Halo" ;)

If you think AOKP has a lot of customizations, check Carbon you'll be blown away.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarbonROM:
I agree about using Carbon :P We really have all the best customization options of AOKP, PA, CM and Slim roms all in a small package and that is near stock looking and runs SPEEDY and smooth.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
AOKP Milestone 1 is surprisingly stable. The only problem I've found is the Recents Menu is somewhat buggy, that may or may not be a deal-breaker for you.

here is a complete how-to:

download the latest nightly build here:

http://get.cm/?type=nightly&device=zeus

cm9.1 is one of the most stable, reliable and fast ics out there. daily driver for me.

after krisdee's touchpad fix (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41961511&postcount=801), everything is perfect for me.

(you should get familiar with making your own cwm-patch or how to copy files to the /system dir. applying krissdee's fix works but to not mess with false updates in cm-updater, you should apply the build.prop edits yourself. copy the framework.jar and touchpadfix apk manually. or just edit krissdee's patch with the latest build.prop and just flash it.)

and no need for fancy mods to speed it up like adreno v3 drivers are needed. just watch our processes, disable some startup items and everything should run smooth and fine. but that are basics and to keep the phone clean and managed should be in every tech-savvy's mind.

[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
Hey guys,

So I'm selling my Rezound to a T-Mobile user (my sister) and I want to get it ready for her to use. Currently, I have the 4.03.605.2 710RD software loaded on it, which I know makes it global capable. At this point, would I just need to flash a GSM and have her put in her T-Mobile SIM card? Or do I need to update to the new OTA software first? If so, is there an RUU for it?

Thanks for the help.
[HTC Rezound] XAlexander_AlexanderX:
I don't think thats such a good idea especially if she uses the internet a lot because GSM users only get EDGE which is almost the slowest data connection.

Hi,

In my country, only N5105 is being sold. I think this is the 3g+LTE model. But I can't see anything about it on the forum.

Does anyone have any info about it ?

For example, can I install N5100 firmware on it ?

also, this one does not have a phone application. Does N5100 have phone app ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] emwno:
If im not wrong, these are the devices:

N5100: 3G + WIFI (with support for calling / sms)

N5105: 3G + WIFI {without support for calling / sms)

So, you should be good with flashing a N5100 ROM, its the same case with the N8000 and N8005. But I cant confirm anything.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
I believe it's a little different than N8000 and N8005 because in N5100 and N5105 case N5105 is a LTE device.

so the hardware is different.

am I wrong ?

does the n5100 have phone app ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] emwno:
i forgot about the LTE part, sorry about that, in that case I dont think you can, if you do, LTE may not work. The N5105 seems to be a merge of the N5100 and N5120
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
In Turkey there's no LTE network. so I can sacrifice that feature, if I'll get phone :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] emwno:
Wellm if you really want to try it out. Just flash a N5100 ROM via the PDA and not the one in which you have to select everything including pit etc, also make sure there's no bootloader in there, just in case.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
wait. you mean I should only flash PDA ? no modem etc. ?

are the ones in Sammobile qualify for that ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] emwno:
Keep a backup firmware of the N5105, as said previously, make sure there's no boot loader in the one your flashing. You can flash the Odin ROMs in the development section of the N5100
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
thanks. I've learnt that I have to install baseband from N5100 as well. How can I get that ?

Does the rom include it ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] emwno:
That your gonna get from sammobile. Did the flash work?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
I didn't try yet. Which one is the baseband ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
Btw, N5120 seems to be a LTE model.

So I think I should use a N5120 firmware instead of N5100.

Am I wrong ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] emwno:
I think the N5120 is LTE + Wifi and doesn't support 3G.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
well, according to the specs at pdadb they all support 3G , but 5105 qand 5120 also have addtional LTE hardware:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=4141&id2=4260&id3=4462

am I still wrong ?

how did you find out N5120 doesn't have 3G ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] emwno:
Well its a guess as I wouldn't understand why Sammy would have 2 of the same tablets with different models numbers
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
N5105 does not have phone features. I guess it is only for Turkey. As the tax differs in Turkey if the device is a PHoNE.

Of course i am not sure. And i don't know what to do.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mrmrmrmr:
is there anyone with N5120 ?

- does it have phone app ?

I have 2 mobile lines from 2 operators.

one line is used commonly and it is in my S3.

It has build : JZO54K.N5105JVBMC7

baseband: N5105JVBMC4

If that's a correct assumption, I will try loading N5100 rom.

if not, I have to try N5120 rom

how else can I understand if it has LTE or not ?

I have read guides on how to use Odin and backup my stuff, so really all I need to know is what firmware to use and any particular steps that may be unique to the N-5105.

I've been playing around with my roomates shield. It has some weird problems with emulators. For instance, the "Y" button is the menu key in android. So whenever I try to bind it to something in an emulator it opens the "menu" of the app instead. Not sure how to fix it.
[Shield Themes and Apps] chaind:
For Super GNES, pressing Y doesn't trigger the menu by default.

but upon touching the menu soft button on the screen & pressing Y whilst in the menu, closes the menu.
[Shield Themes and Apps] agrabren:
That's called a "fallback". If the app isn't catching it when you're trying to assign the button, they somehow really messed up the app. ;)

Fallback occurs when an app doesn't handle a button press. For instance, pressing B falls back to BACK if an app doesn't support the B button. Most controller-based apps do, though... :-/
[Shield Themes and Apps] Evo_Shift:
The more I play the more a realize that there seems to be a slight audio delay in basically any emulator I use. The video quality is great, no stuttering or anything, but it seems like the audio is delayed like a fraction of a second on everything. Like in mega man on nes I push jump and he does the complete jump then I hear the sound or if I shoot the gun the sound comes after the bullet is halfway between his weapon and the edge of the screen.

In the SNES emulator I have tried there seems to be delay. I tested that in contra 3 using weapons.

In mupen64 or supern64 there is a delay which I have noticed playing majora's mask. Swing links weapon and he completes the swing before the weapon makes a sound or if you are running and do a roll, he has completed the roll before you hear the sound.

A quick google search returned a few recent results with similar experiences on various android devices. Anyway, it isn't a deal breaker and I hope it gets sorted at some point.
[Shield Themes and Apps] Deleted member 5103593:
Even on PC emulators, one of their biggest challenges to overcome has been audio lag. Expect this... you're emulating a system.
[Shield Themes and Apps] PR0XIDIAN:
The shield has REALLY nice speakers. To be honest, any game I'm emulating I've already played on the real version of the console before. (I own almost every classic console). So I just mute it and play music on most emulators. *shrug*

Doesnt help audio lag in emulators though.
