Mine is Gentouch78 V.2

I'm running Pandoradroid. I got everything i need working (gmail, youtube, tTorrent, etc.)

I just wanted to say Thank you to all of you who posted on here. After getting the hand-me-down that was stuck on Andy I spent about 2 weeks sifting through this site and finally got CWM installed, and Flashed Pandoradroid to my tablet. I then was able to get the important apps installed, and finally Market works.

XDA-Developers Rox

That said, Whatever happened to talk of CM6 or CM7 coming to the Gentouch78

The Gyroscope not working is irritating, but manageable.

Perfect Viewer won't show anything in the Bookshelf, and I had to extract the *.CBR, open each *.JPG in Paint, Resize to 40%x40%, 7Zip back to *.CBR, and move back to /sdcard/Bookshelf/. Manageable, but irritating. (But worth it since the screen is so much bigger than my phone (U8800-51).

I get errors from Titanium Backup (TB) about busybox and not elevating to su...

I read just about every post written about getting Netflix to work on eclair, but I have had zero success.

I installed MX Player and the associated Codec onto my phone, backed it up (using TB) to my Tablet's SDCard, and Used TB to restore it. I have to switch between Software and Hardware Audio decoding (Depending on the Video file's properties), but I'll live.

I would love for someone to finish CM7 for this.

Things I can live without:

Gyro (Autorotate)

On screen Volume controls (I'll go through settings if necessary)

5x5 icons on screen (Pandoradroid uses ADW, so that was a quick configure)

Here is a screenshot (Taken by my phone because the tablet won't take screenshots... lol) of my home screen. Also My Wallpaper.

anybody left out there?

i've had a butchered genbook 108 for about a year now. only real problem is i have a 7" display on the 10.2" screen. i want to just install something/anything that will give me a full screen. i cannot get to the bootloader menu with the above instructions. i have attempted installs of multiple os's using sd card and usb drive. on power up, genbook just blows by. any suggestions?

The links for bootimg-su-googleapps-hosts-pirate.update3.zip are dead, should anyone have a working link to it, I would greatly appreciate it!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spartan77:
enter fdwn mode

when you start the genbook push the power button in and as soon as the splashscreen comes up hold the power button untill you see the restore menue come up.Then you can either use the zip on a sd card or you can start the fdwn mode to start any mode scroll down to the one you want to use then wait a few secs then hold in power button untill it turns blue then you can update it.WARNING using the wrong ROM will brick the genbook and then you will have to take it apart and jump the internal rom chip for it to start working again

Hi, I've just purchased a second hand tablet for playing around with at home and was wondering if you or anyone could give me a quick noob how-to to get a custom rom installed? I've already rooted using z4root, but that's as far as I can get. I would really like to have google play, etc. installed and working but I can't seem to install the apk.

I've tried following the instructions on this site http://augendev.wikispaces.com/

but I can't get past the adb for beginners part (I'm obviously not up to beginner status yet).

I'm not new to rooting - I've installed custom roms on many of my higher end android devices in the past, and though I was at least at the beginner level. This old tablet has me stumped...

Because I'm already rooted, shouldn't it be as easy as installing CWM and then a rom? How do I do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mogrith:
Old info but try the slatedroid wiki http://www.slatedroid.com/wiki/index.php?title=Augen_Gentouch
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoola20055:
yeah the driver issue got me first. Im running win7 too. **my idea** :)

anyway on your bottom right tool bar right click your safley remove icon and click on open devices and printers.

right click android eclair/properties/hardware at the top you should see

adroid composite ADB interface

I have an extended control app that gives me a mountcard widget. You could try automount apk too

when you do cpromt........adb devices it should say a list of numbers/letters device

rename sdk folder to androidsdk

folders as follows C:\androidsdk\tools

*put all other folders into tools

get your command prompt to tools folder type this.. cd C:\androidsdk\tools enter

then copy and paste from there
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoola20055:
sure your copy and pasting? remember to include the little period at the beginning copy one WHOLE line at a time

I got stuck there typing it in manualy and not putting in the little periods heh
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoola20055:
if the first two files/lines were wrote to the device i really dont know why the others would not go. sorry . Im REALLY new to this too. I was not putting the periods when i first tried and it didnt get past the second line. Copy and paste literally
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoola20055:
install an apk that only works for root users. setcpu.apk. You will be prompted to allow SU access. It should all go through though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoola20055:
I just use detect device set at maximum and i set my min at 100 something just to test. There is good setting somewhere on here. I saw them in another post. Just see if it asks for SU permission first.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoola20055:
max is jut the max cpu. search for a thread on it. I really dont know myself I was just testing to see if i had root.

well it seems you have root if You were asked to allow SU permission. that was easy i guess.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrew20101@gmail.com:

I ordered a tablet on eBay and before it gets here I wanna know how to root it can anyone walk me through?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -viperboy-:
I wanna try to keep this thread more about development, guys. Follow the OP and you should be good. If not, hop into an IRC for GENERAL TALK. Or, PM about these issues on How-To's.

[Desire General] haroujf:
Hi guys, i have just gotten my desire sometime back, been exploring it and recently downloaded a awesome apps call JetVD that allows me to download 720P videos from youtube directly to my desire.

However, after downloading, when trying to play the video using default player mzxing player, rockplayer, astroplayer, all i get is a black screen but the audio is actually running fine...just want to check if 720p playback is supported on the desire??

I am running android 2.1.

advice please. thanks millions.
[Desire General] tommo123:
well, i've played back 720p vids, but not at it's proper framerate. i assume that since the 720p recording we get it a low fps version, then the playback is also limited
[Desire General] mazinya:
Is this going to be fixed in the official 2.2?
[Desire General] tommo123:
who knows. we'll have to wait and see.

i assume not though :(
[Desire General] pigbrother:
I've played succesfully 720p H.264 baseline L3.1 @ 8000kbps in MP4 container without any perfomance problem, so the device is indeed able to play 720p videos.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
I have played 720 from youtube on the Desire just fine. I must say though... don't try the 1080p...lol. It ATTEMPTS to play it, but, well... it's just a mess. lol.
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
I have the stock Android 2.1 on my phone and I rooted it but nothing else. For some reason my phone will not connect to my home WiFi. I put in the WEP key and it still says disconnected. Not sure if root had anything to do with it since I only assumed WiFi was working before I rooted. Any ideas? WEP is right, not sure what the "Key Index" is...
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Root has nothing to do with it.

Did you flash any kernels
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
Nope, WiFi manager says connecting then says disconnected
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
I would hard reset.
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
Is your router setup to only allow N connections? If so, the default wifi is only for G and B networks unless you have updated the kernel.
[Droid Incredible General] HarrisonBP:
Could it be because you're a dirty gator? Sorry, I know that's not helpful, please forgive me. Go Noles!!!
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
Harrison, I am certain that's not the problem.
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
I hit connect but the status under the WiFi setting never changes from disconnected.
[Droid Incredible General] jahnile:
Well first of all root def.ly is not the reason. I would try a few things such as reboot the phone and router. Next I would try to disable the security on the router just for testing. see if you can connect without any key. Also try connecting to an open Wifi connection that is available. This open would narrow down your problem to either the phone or your home network. If you are able to connect to other wifi connection then the issue is not with the phone but your home network.
[Droid Incredible General] timehunter:
Mine seems to not want to connect to the wifi until I go into Settings - Wifi, then suddenly it decides my wireless router is there and connects. The only other app on my phone that can activate the wireless radio is Wifi Analyzer, but I have that feature turned off.
[HD2 General] Tref:
I just got a TMOUS HD2 today. I'm having a real hard time with the screen. The phone is essentially new but it does have a zagg armor shield on it, including the screen. From what I've read that should have no effect on the screen.

This is my fourth of fifth HTC phone and I've never had a screen that is this hard to use. Also the phone seems laggy, response time is slow at times. It might be a learning curve that needs to happen on my part, but I don't really think so. These capacitive screens are supposed to be the cat's meow. I'm not seeing that.

So, my question is do any of the ROMs increase screen sensitivity? I've already unlocked the phone and would not have an issue with flashing a new ROM. From the reading I've done I was leaning toward the UnOff ROM, but Spike says he doesn't do a lot other than removing bloatware. He does mention speeding the OS up, and that would be good. But does anyone know if his or any of the other ROMs would make the screen more responsive?

Oh yeah, the ROM is currently at 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE 4/28/2010

Also, I have 1024Mb of Flash ROM on my phone. I think this means it's a 1024LEO. Does anyone know for sure if UnOff has a base of 2.08 or higher? Edit: After reading his thread again I see his ROM and Radio are based on the same that came on my phone.

Thanks
[HD2 General] elcanela:
as far as I know, the newer official ROM from T-Mobile has issues with the screen touch drivers, try any other cooked ROM since that issue has been identified and the old drivers are cooked in with the ROMs. Personally, I use ENERGY's ROM, and I am quite fond of it, not to take away from any other cooks' hard work. Just make sure it's the ROM for the TMO US phone, and that the radio (if applicable) is for the TMO US phoneif you don't want a HD paperweight.
[HD2 General] pixine786:
To continue the above post. Make sure the radio you flash is .50 NOT .51

Yes NRGZ Energy is excellent option for touchscreen response to begin with.

When u become an ORD person then try Dutty's Redemption V3. It's also good.
[HD2 General] Nibbley15:
Howdy,

Well to clear this up a bit, they really messed up the 2.13 ROM because they decreased the screen sensitivity, the 2.10 ROM had great sensitivity. If you read through some of the ROM threads you will see what they are talking about.

And yes you have a 1024 LEO with that much Flash ROM.

Most of the cooks here have gone to 2.10 Touch drivers cooked into the 2.13 or higher ROM's. So have a look around and pick which ever suits your fancy.
[HD2 General] Tref:
I flashed Spike's UnOff 23127 6.5.3 ROM. It did increase the sensitivity quite a bit, and it helped the overall responsiveness of the device tremendously.

But I'm finding that this phone, and possibly its capacitive resistant screen is just not as finger friendly as my TP2. Sense works fine, within its limitations. But the apps that I have, like Pocket Informant and Resco for instance have small drop down menus with arrows that are very hard to open. My hands are not overly large and I have little to no problems on the TP2 with the same apps. It just might be that it's a learning curve and I need to judge where the ball of my fingertip is going to land, and to learn not to be too heavy handed. I don't know if I'll keep trying long enough though.

Resco Keyboard (v5.01) is just about unusable on this device, though to be fair I quit using it on my TP2 as well because it just wouldn't take advantage of the higher resolution and the keys are just too small.

Anyone know of a great PIM app that does well on Sense? You know, large buttons and selection thingies that work well on these cap. res. screens and with Sense? Edit: I found that SPB Mobile Shell works pretty well, and has large, usable buttons, icons and menus. It just might mean the difference for me, and allow me to keep using the HD2 instead of going back to my TP2.

Is there an app that will let us work in landscape with all, or nearly all apps?

Thanks for the replies!
[Desire Themes and Apps] beidl:
INFO: This app is now available on the Market! Just grab it! :)

I've had some time to make a small but useful app. It just took me an hour (including some Eclipse crashes), so maybe it still has bugs.

It basically lets you choose (when choosing the app you want to install) where you want to install EACH INDIVIDUAL app.

YOU NEED ROOT IN ORDER TO USE THIS APP!

Example/Screenshots:

INFO: You won't find this app on your homescreen. It's hidden, you can only choose it when installing an app (like on the first screenshot)

NOTE: This is only really useful for Froyos own A2SD implementation. If you are using A2SD+, it's not really useful (since the internal storage "links" to the ext partition on the SD card.)

There are some limitations though...

1) It does NOT work when installing apps through Market. (automatically starts the standard package installer, blame Google)

2) It does NOT work when installing apps through ADB. (same as 1.)

3) It does NOT work when installing apps through Astro (same again. Blame the developer, he hardcoded the call to the standard package installer into his app)

Every other way installing apps should work though. (Apps downloaded with the browser, mail attachments, Linda, OI File Manager, AndroZip, etc.)

So please try the app and tell me if it's useful (and working) for you. ;)

CHANGELOG:

30.7.2010: First version

30.7.2010: Removed unneeded permissions, added cancel button, cleaned up code.

1.8.2010: Fixed for the new (rooted) official HTC Froyo update.

22.8.2010: Recoded from scratch, should now work on every (rooted) ROM.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sector51:
looks nice...
[Desire Themes and Apps] vpraveenis:
Does this do the same thing as A2SD+?? i.e Get the full app on the SD card instead of the partial install built into Froyo?

If yes, then it's great!! :):)
[Desire Themes and Apps] beidl:
It allows you to choose the install location, nothing more and nothing less.

You should know, the only "advantage" of A2SD+ is that the cache files get saved to the SD card. And that is not good for the SD life cycle and phone performance.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dnlgee:
Nice work.
[Desire Themes and Apps] beidl:
Thank you. :)

Maybe you can ask Adam if he wants to include my app in his OpenDesire ROM.

BTW: Uploaded an updated version, cleaned up the code and removed unneeded permissions.

Super Arbeit und vielen Dank dafür, es erfüllt seinen Job seit knapp 9 Stunden ohne Probleme. Ein Frage habe ich, und zwar, warum liest das App die Anrufe aus? :p

/german mode off

thx for sharing
[Desire Themes and Apps] beidl:
Es liest nur den Status, keine Nummern oder sonst etwas, wird wohl für die Erkennung des apk Dateityps gebraucht. Komisch, da ich die Permission eig ausm Manifest gelöscht hab. Versuchs mal mit der neuen Version.

Translation: It's probably needed for the apk filetype. It's strange since I've already removed the permission from the manifest.

Thank you. :)

Hey Y'all

Sorry if this sounds like a daft question, but how specifically do you give the program superuser privileges.

Thanks

E
[Desire Themes and Apps] beidl:
My app requests superuser permission automatically. Usualy the phone should show a dialog where you can choose to give the app these permissions.. as long as your phone is rooted of course.
[Desire Themes and Apps] The Equalizer:
Cheers beidl

I installed t

a proggy called SDK in the end.

Everything installs to MicroSD now.

Cheers
[Desire Themes and Apps] beidl:
SDK? You mean the android developer SDK? What has that got to do with my app?
[Desire Themes and Apps] The Equalizer:
No sorry beidl

Nothing to do with your app.

I am a newbie user & couldn't understand the instructions on how to use your app. Re super user permissions)

While searching the internet on how to solve the problem, I found another app called SDK

It allows all apps to install to the MicroSD by default.

I used that instead as the istructions on use were easier for me to understand.

Thats no fault of yours by the way, it's just the fact that i'm a newbie.

Thanks

E
[Desire Themes and Apps] beidl:
No problem. ;)

The thing is, many apps don't want to be installed on the SD card. (Apps with widgets, services running in the background..)

They'd most probably make some trouble (not showing the correct icon on the homescreen, missing widgets and so on.)

And that's why I wrote this app. If you know the app you downloaded makes trouble (because it has widgets for example) you can choose that the app has to be installed internally.
[Desire Themes and Apps] beidl:
Updated, app is now available on the Market. :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Shibbey75:
Release to US market???

This sounds like it could be a useful app. I would like to try it, but alas, it is not available on the US Android market. :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] beidl:
Strange, there were some Evo and MyTouch users commenting on the Market.

I guess your phone/ROM has some problems.
[Droid Incredible General] Lexus One:
I just had a bad experience with MyBackup Pro. I just re-flashed from Sky Raider 2.00 to 2.01. Everything worked beautifully after re-booting under the new ROM. So then I attempted to Restore my apks+data with MyBackup Pro. But after that finished, I never saw such a mess after a re-boot. Thank God I had a nand backup... So now that I'm back where I started from, is there an app out there that actually works? I'd like to try this again.

I'm not sure why MyBackup didn't work. I heard some good things about it, and that is why I decided to try it.

I've also heard of Titanium Backup...but has anyone restored SUCCESSFULLY after a ROM upgrade with this utility?
[Droid Incredible General] gmonox:
Just posted this in another thread so I feel like a broken record :P but yes, I used Titanium to backup pre-2.2, installed CyanogenMod 6, and restored apps+data (NOT system data) and everything seems to have turned out fine.

When you say you've never seen such a mess after a reboot, what exactly do you mean?
[Droid Incredible General] qmartman711:
I use titanium everyone I write and install a new rom,for sky raider and cyanogen..great app.never had a problem
[Droid Incredible General] Lexus One:
The "mess" I talked about was some apps that wouldn't run. I would get errors instead. Outlines for some widgets instead of widgets. Wallpaper didn't change, but icon placement was as it was before re-flash. POP mail account lost config. Etc. I didn't make a list. I just said enough of this and did a nand restore.

So if I use Titanium, what should the procedure be to be sure I get back everything as it was? Or am I asking too much? Will I still have to reconfigure some things?

I just installed Titanium Backup. It doesn't appear to be as user friendly as MyBackup Pro. Can you give me some brief advice? I'd really appreciate it. I'm still wet behind the ears.

Thanks! :)
[Droid Incredible General] seanmcd72:
I use Backup Pro and haven't had any issues. I have had a few oddball apps not backup but never one that I bought or downloaded from the Market.
[Droid Incredible General] gmonox:
I've only used it a few times so I'm not exactly a pro, but here goes. There's a tab that says backup/restore, that has a list of your apps and whether or not there's a backup of the app. If you hit Menu and go into batch mode, that's where all the good stuff is. Before I flash a rom I'll go into batch and back up all user apps and system data. You can also schedule backups to be performed while you're sleeping or something, just so you always have new backups.

To restore, you can go into batch mode and restore apps and data. When I went to CyanogenMod6 from stock, I restored only apps and app data. I didn't restore system data because I'm pretty sure if you restore system data when moving between roms it causes a lot of problems (I'm not an expert though, might wanna ask someone more knowledgeable).

Another thing to consider: if you have a lot of apps, Titanium is a giant pain in the ass unless you have the donate version. With the free version, it asks for confirmation when restoring each app, so that can be very bothersome. The paid one does everything automatically.

Hope this helps :)
