[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CHERNAB0G:
i bought an android tablet (witstech a81-e) and i know its not going to have the market, or other important pieces, so my question is, if i go into the g1 forum and find a rom to flash on my newly rooted tablet, will it work?

if not, how do i know which ones will work? if none of em work, how do i make one that will work?

help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ddotpatel:
Flashing a Rom from g1 section won't work.

... but you should be able to take apps (like Market) from roms to use

.... and building roms is difficult work if you don't know how. No, sorry, it would be difficult for ME to learn all the ins and outs... but if you want to have a go there are some tuts in the "Android chef central" section.

Good luck!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] das_coach:
first thing you have to do is getting root access. when that's done, try compiling a running kernel and after that you can go to the software-part=)...mfg coach

PS: that's what i think is the order, have never done this on my own (except for building linux kernels^^)

[Vibrant General] CaseyG:
Same problem here. Runs great for a while but now it lags. Did a factory reset and it helped a bit. Also cannot get into the hard reset menu after root.

-Power down phone

-Hold Volume down key

-Press and release power button

Correct?

Gets me nowhere.....phone boots up as usual.:mad:
[Vibrant General] zimphishmonger:
While in the phone settings -> Privacy -> Reset. That will erase everything, except what is on your SD card (both of them) and if you rooted, the root files.

Thn you're out of luck for now. By simply moving app data storage, all lag is fixed, nothing harmful is really done. Rooting is easy And you could unroot it in minutes, your only option for now.

Just applied the fix...I get 1600+ on quadrant now. =D
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Is there any way to apply this via terminal? I already have more than 130mb of app data so i'd be referring to method 2.
[Vibrant General] master_d:
You have to hold down both the volume UP and volume DOWN keys before you hit power to get to the recovery menu
[Vibrant General] player4lifeov:
How did you get 1600+ on the Quadrant test??? I get in the range of 790-890
[Vibrant General] Maxy6:
I found that clearing application caches helped a lot. I use CacheMate, but you must be rooted. There is also an option to clear cache from recovery menu, but I'm not sure what it does.

[HTC Excalibur] somecuitears:
i want to kno whether there will b effect to my excalibur if i used it while it is on charge... n i also want to kno wht is the exact volt needed to charge excalibur...
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Well, when I use my excalibur while charging and specifically using wifi...that thing it's a portable heater :eek:. It really gets hots on the battery :p.

Regarding the charging volt, It's 12V to charge.
[HTC Excalibur] somecuitears:
12V??? i charge it using 5VDC... :eek:

r u sure it needs 12VDC???? because i hav never seen or heard of any mobile tht charges using 12V..and i once even fried my mobile while i tried to charge using 12V....
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
:rolleyes: How much volts do you think a car charger outputs :confused: holds up to 12V ;)

http://bestcelldist.com/htc_excalibur_in_car_charger.html

Mine hasn't fried in 3 years of charging it with a Motorola car charger :p
[HTC Excalibur] somecuitears:
thanks... i giv a try...
[HTC Excalibur] exciseman:
There may be a little misunderstanding here. I think OP is referring to the maximum voltage which should be applied to the phone.

A car charger requires 12VDC in order to operate.

A wall charger usually requires 110 - 220 VAC in order to operate.

In both cases though, the outpuit to the phone is in the region of 5VDC with a maximum current draw of ~ 1.0 Amps.

Most cell phones require about 5VDC in order to charge.
[HTC Excalibur] somecuitears:
most cell use 3.7V to 5V tht is when it is converted to 3.79 to 5V from 110~220V with transformer.. so how much "output to the phone" is needed for charging HTC Excalibur...as i hav told before i hav been charging using 5V (converted by transformer) n i m not sure whether it is the required volt or not.. n i think my previous battery died because i used it while it was in charge...
[HTC Excalibur] exciseman:
The output to the phone is usually about 5 VDC. For example, the charger that came with my S621 has a rated output of 5VDC with a maximum current draw of 1.0 Amp. The majority of cell/smartphones seem to use chargers which have a rated output of ~5 VDC. The actual amperage, or level of current flow, depends upon the individual phone's design/circuitry. Another point: A USB port operates at 5VDC. It as you know, will recharge the Excalibur, as well as many other phones.

I'm not well versed in circuit design, but I do know that the maximum voltage of a fully charged cell phone battery is ~4.2 VDC. I presume that the individual phone's circuitry modifies the input votage from the charger, to a level which will safely charge the battery. (And cut off the current to prevent overcharging).

I presume, when you mention "transformer", that you are referring to the typical cell phone wall/car charger. A simple transformer would probably be a very efficient means of frying your phone. :eek:

As for using a phone while it is charging, I cannot really comment. I use my phone while it is charging only occasionally and even then, for only a short period.

Mr. Clown refers to the fact that his phone gets quite hot when used while charging. That may shorten battery life. That, in turn, may depend upon what the phone is being used for at the time. Obviously, more functions in use = greater current draw = greater heating effect.
[Vibrant General] sandstones:
I was shopping for a spare battery for the Vibrant.

The battery in my phone has a part number EB575152VA, 1500mVa. I've seen batteries for the Galaxy S that I thought should be identical, but they have a part number EB575152VU (last letter only is different), also 1500mVa.

Could there be a real difference or is this just marketing?
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I had the same question and upon researching, that's just the region code. It's the same battery.

[Droid X General] gobbles23:
Okay so I have the phone defaulted to go to PC mode everytime I plug it into the computer and I have Windows 7. When I transfer movies over to the Droid X, Windows 7 asks me if I want to convert the files or just transfer. I have been converting, but I have already encoded the files using handbrake and was wondering what is it converting the files to. Is it just optimizing the resolution or what is it doing?
[Droid X General] mavermc:
tricky to say, I don't know what software your using for encoding obviously if you optimism for the same rez as the phone it will probably run a bit smoother because it doesn't need to scale, though if it's not encoded in some kind of a mp4 H.264 thingy you'll probably need a different media player to play it, like that xyplayer (does twister player do other codec?)
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
I connect and select usb mass storage, created a folder named Videos and just copied my downloaded episodes and movies there. DoubleTwist plays xvid without any problems. Just watched Ne episode of entourage on my way back home from work on the train.
[Captivate General] acespaid:
I transfered some pics to the phones internal storage using it as a mass storage. about 1000 pics and it took about 30 min. not only did it take long but they dont look the greatest on my phone. Am i doing something wrong? is there a better/faster way of transfering? using windows Vista btw.....
[Captivate General] lost2030:
I put movies, music, pics, and other videos on my micro sd card and just insert that into the phone. Works perfectly fine!
[Captivate General] cachookaman:
thankfully my laptop has a built in card reader so i just use that to transfer files to an external micro sd card. its much faster than transferring over usb.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
You could also install Swiftp and FTP to your phone over wireless.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
The cable works well in my opinion and you need it to access the internal storage, If you go the card route make sure you unmount first or any open apps will immediate crash if they rely on any data on the card.

the other nice thing about the internal card is that you can keep all your app data on that and your media on the external and it keeps everything nice and clean.

and ofcourse when your external is full just continue on to the internal

if you use cubed (^3) for mp3, its awesome and can auto find album art, it'll automatically add from both sources
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
Unfortunately it won't be free forever, but it might be worth the investment. Doubletwist is a pretty excellent application. It's basically Itunes for Android.

[Captivate General] systoxity:
that sounds like abnormally long write times.

Is your computer old? does it support usb 2.0?

have you enabled developer's console on your android and mounted your sd card via the notification menu when plugging your phone into your pc?

lastly, download samsung kies and get their drivers for the phone as well..
[Captivate General] acespaid:
yes its 2.0. its an HP about 2 years old. maybe i didnt mount it, i cant remember. I just dragged and dropped. Wasnt sure if its an advantage using Kies or just doing the drag and drop method. Also is it better to keep everything off the internal if possible or does it matter? Just wondering how everyone transfers. tried to drop 3,000 songs the other day and it was like 3 hours! not at home right now so cant try it.

root and apply one of the stock 2.1 desenzitized roms.

but yes, its safe if it is removed in a rom and another launcher is provided. but DONT REMOVE ANY OTHER TIME. EVEN IF YOU HAVE ANOTGER LAUNCHER.

I am rooted and running Slidemeroot5r1. Is it save to remove in this ROM?

I have removed quitea bit of files, however I don't notice any improvement on the available space.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
Since I don't have a slide, I don't know all the specifics about the ROM, but just as long as you have a launcher pro or adw file to cook in to the rom as a replacement for rosie then it is safe.

If you remove some files, that doesn't really mean much as far as performance. A little bit, but not much.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riverajuan:
Sorry if this is a stupid question

But how do you cook launcher pro or ADW into a ROM?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
7 zip copy and paste. That's not actually how to make a Tom, bit that's how to add an app into it.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
download amd install 7zip for the computer. plug in the phone and turn on disk drive mode. with 7zip, navigate to the drove that the sd is mounted as, navigate to the ROM, navigate to system/app and just right click on rosie and tjen click delete.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riverajuan:
I am going to give this a try, I appreciated the help.

I will have to remove slideme root and then create a zip from something like adw or launcher pro and then relash.

Is this correct?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
you have to:

navigate to the rom , go into system/app, remove rosie and then add launcher pro or adw. make sure to d/l them from your computer, and copy paste it to the rom vis 7zip.

I was able to find ADW.launcher.apk and paste after removing rosie.apk and odex. The issue I see is almost like I am still running 2 different launchers and still no much of a difference on available space.

Do I also need to get rid of rosie scroll folder?
[HD2 General] godman_8:
So...I have it downloaded, but how do I get it to work? Do I need to use the linux? or can someone link me to a very accurate url?
[HD2 General] tritran18518:
there is Guide topic for you, make sure you have search forum before you post a thread. :D
[HD2 General] Genobreaker:
it is sad when people just tell you to look stuff up and end the sentence with A :D.......

before you do any of this make sure you have HSPL on your HTC if you dont have it go here and follow the guide to install the HSPL not the roms...to check if you have the HSPL turn off your phone and hold the volume down and press and hold the power button until you see a tri-colored screen.

if you already have downloaded the andriod zip file extract the folder and copy the folder called "Andriod" to your SD card's main dir. use the file explorer on your HTC and goto the Andriod folder and run CLRCAD (it may seen like it did nothing thats ok) then run the HARET file...you may have to take out the battery 2-3 times following these steps over and over until you get it to boot up.

P.S. I AGREE with what tritran18518 said just not the way he said it..
[Vibrant General] acspin:
Hi there, on my second vibrant. I'm having some issues with this one and I need help determining if they are hardware related.

I'm running 3 homescreens with:

Beautiful widgets

Pure messenger widget

Switch pro

Pandora

I'm also running launcher pro.

I have some major lag problems when launching apps. It takes a minute or so to open most apps, plus I get a lot of black screens. I've factory reset the phone twice and the issues go away for a while on stock settings but the phone starts to lag a bit as I load apps.

Any ideas?

I might just return it....even though the phone runs ok on stock settings, might have a hard time returning it.
[Vibrant General] captain_awesome:
most likely software.. and related to one of the apps you have dl'd. as you said in your post, the phone works fine stock and doesnt start to act up until you load apps.

i would suggest you just install your apps one by one and have a small testing phase between each one. then when it starts lagging you will know what app to avoid.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Wait did this happen on both phones. Even if not, still sounds like something you've done to the phone. I would root and run autostarts to prevent certain items from opening. It's all in the sticky if you want to try.
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
Its both, look into the lag fix. Launcherpro + all widgets are running off the internal sd along with the appdata (thats moved in the lag fix) and with the poor performing I/O of the internal sd, it lags. The stock launcher + samsung apps is built into the system dir (internal nand) so doesn't lag as bad.
[Vibrant General] acspin:
No, I returned the first phone because the homekey wasn't working.

Once the apps do manage to load, I notice that there isn't anything I can do to slow the phone down. Certainly seems more and more like a software bug...Maybe Launcher Pro isn't playing nice (even though I've reinstalled it a few times, and after factory reset). That or the Pure Messenger widget (scrollable) is what's screwing everything up. It worked fine on my Mytouch 3gs though...We'll see.

I'll add apps one by one until I find the culprit.
[Vibrant General] acspin:
OK, thus far installed ADW instead of Launcher Pro...

Everything seems to work really well thus far. ADW seems to handle scrollable pure messenger widget much better than Launcher Pro. I think that was the source of my incredible lag.

Still testing, but has anyone else had issues with the scrollable pure messenger widget and Launcher Pro?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akrutsinger:
So when you activate a new phone you have to do all the *228 stuff to register it on verizons network. Since the phone gets programmed OTA you have to be using a Verizon network. Thats where my first problem happened. Since I'm in Alaska and there are no Verizon towers (just partners) everywhere is roaming and you cannot do the OTA update/activation.

I got the phone programmed by changing the NAM settings by "calling" ##778 but only voice and sms work right now.

Now the only problem is that I don't know exactly what I need to change to get the data communications working. I know in order to use data communication on a partner network (while in roaming) you have to first use some kind of data transfer on a verizon network. I can only guess that is so the phone gets programmed properly.

If anyone would care to share their knowledge or share their Modem Settings and M.IP profile information hopefully I can get this thing working 100% again; and by not using verizon's "only" method (as the customer service says)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akrutsinger:
I appreciate the insight espmetalhead, however when I called vzw and asked them about manually programming it they said the only thing they can manually program is voice/sms. To program the phone for data you HAVE to be in a verizon network no matter what. I don't really understand why. I have another phone (blackberry 8330) that has working data communication here in alaska. WHy can't you just take whatever settings the blackberry has for data and use it on the incredible? lol. man, its so frustrating. I really don't want to ship my phone to my parents and walk them through programming the incredible for me haha.

espmetalhead: hopefully in your experience you've came across a way to manually program a phone for data communication...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espmetalhead:
There is a way to do it from what I remember, you just have to get to a data tech this is high enough in the chain so they can do a walk through. A csr over the phone should be able to route you to the right person. I know I did some Windows Mobile device manual programs that fired up data.
