[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pack:
Hey guys I know this wasn't the right thing to do but it happened....

I was using macnut R10 and was having calling problems, decided to restore a back up which was a bionix 2.1 rom... Because you cant go from a 2.2 rom back to 2.1 rom with a backup because the kernel wont work my phone now will not boot. It loads the both splash screens but gets stuck at the 2nd screen.

I have tried:

1: adb... no devices connected

2: put bionix w/ kernel on the sd card as a update.zip... rebooted the phone holding vol up/down it went into the stock style recovery and gave me the 4 options (reboot/flash update/wipe data/wipe cache) I tried to flash the update.zip and it says:

finding update

opening update

cannot open update (/sdcard/update.zip) no directory/file found

I also wiped data and cache after this and when I reboot (only the first reboot after this is done) on the 2nd splash screen it plays half of the bionix boot sound then cuts it off and just sits...

EDIT: *** just realized why its not finding the update.zip... because I put it on the ext sd card... but either way I cant adb to push it to the internal sd card

3: then I tried to flash back to stock with odin but cannot get into download mode... I plugged the usb in and held vol up/down as I powered on but it just brings me back to the stock recovery instead of download mode

If anyone knows what I can do to either flash a rom/kernel or get into download mode so I can just flash back to stock, I'm all ears for any suggestions

thanks a lot for any suggestions in advance...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willsnews:
Take battery out then plug in usb then hold volume buttons while you place battery back in you should be in download mode hope it helps

Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw

Try getting into Download mode using the GT-i9000 way, cause I once screwed my phone up and did that, just do a simple search on how to enter download mode the i9000 way

ahh thank god i think i was holding power when i put the battery in last time... now lets hope odin doesnt freeze :D lol

Has anyone tried the new batch of OEM Vibrant batteries? I'm not talking about the ones that were available since launch at $8 for 2x + charger. The new ones are being sold at the $15 mark for one battery and are from US sellers, so you have a chance to get your money back if they do not meet the advertised spec.

Here is the eBay link:

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkpar...&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=15&_sc=1

The pictures look more like the G9 stock battery and they do not use any of the known fake pictures e.g. G7, etc. The last time I checked about 2 months ago the cheapest OEMs were at the $20+ mark.

Hello everyone,

i'm trying to do a podcast software, but i can't find a way to play music througth the default media player.

What should i use?

I use now Mediaplayer() but it has no user interface (no pause, forward ...) which is pretty annoying.

Thank you for your answers!
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Have you looked at the MediaController class:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/MediaController.html
[Android Software Development] cedricmail:
By now, i used another method with Intent.

String path = "/sdcard/feed/"+ title+"/"+fileName + ".mp3";

Intent myIntent =new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

myIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

myIntent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://"+ path),"audio/*");

startActivity(myIntent);

Which actually works for mp3s.

I am looking for the basic Android downloader (the one used by the market for example)

Do you know how to use it?

Thank you a lot
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
So you want to download the file first to the sdcard, then play it by launching the default program for MIME type "audio/*"? seems convoluted. The MediaPlayer object will do all this for you in streaming mode and the MediaController class will give you a nice interface.

Otherwise, I don't know what you mean by "basic Android downloader".
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] indeana:
I finally got my NookColor to sideload apps via ADB. The first thing I did was install Root Explorer and I rebooted the NC.

However, using Root Explorer, I do not have access to the cache or data directories. The response that I get is "Mounted as r/o" and "Your phone doesn't appear to be rooted. ..."

Did I miss something in the process and I'm not really rooted?

Also, I've noticed that the command adb remount gives back an error message as well.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Assuming that you've already install the SuperUser apk

You need to push the su file into /data/local

use the following ADB commands:

adb push su /data/local/

Then

adb shell
# cd /system/bin
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
# cat /data/local/su > su
# chmod 6755 su
# ls -l su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2010-12-01 10:27 su

Use the su file from the attachment in the thread below

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=665974
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] indeana:
Thank you, Sapienta.

I noticed the Superuser comes down as a zip and the instructions say to boot into recovery mode and flash ... does that translate to renaming the zip to apk and installing via adb (as I've done with other apps)? Or do I need to figure out how to do the recovery boot/flash?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sapienta:
Ya sorry about that. I should've been more clear. Ignore everything from that page just download the attachment. You need to push the "su" file into /data/local and then chmod it to 6755 per the instructions from the first link I post and you're good to go.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] HotShotAzn:
EDIT NVM, I got it :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] indeana:
Well, actually, you were quite clear the first time, I had just forgotten about the first link. But now, when I try to install the file (after renaming the zip to apk) via ADB I get an error message that says file does not contain AndroidManifest.xml. But I know the file is there ... I can see it when I view it with 7Zip. So, I guess I'm being dense today, but what am I missing?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] antoniouslj:
Inside of the zip file there should be two files, a file called "su" without an extension and the Superuser.apk.

You'll want to push the su (the file is actually a raw binary) to your NC using the steps provided. You'll also want to install the Superuser.apk after pushing the su binary.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] indeana:
Thank you, antoniouslj. Yesterday I installed SU first and then pushed su but Root Explorer kept erroring out. So just to be sure I'm clear, the steps would be done in this order:

1. Push su -->

adb push su /data/local/

2. Change permissions -->

adb shell

# cd /system/bin

# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

# cat /data/local/su > su

# chmod 6755 su

# ls -l su

-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2010-12-01 10:27 su

3. Install Superuser

Then do I adb Root Explorer or should Root Explorer be installed before I do the steps above?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] antoniouslj:
That's exactly what I did and it worked great for me. I also had Root Explorer installed prior to installing SU.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] indeana:
Still Struggling!

So ... I still can't get this to work. Do I need to install an alternative launcher (like ADW) first and then do this process?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] antoniouslj:
No... what part of the process are you getting stuck on?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] indeana:
I do the three steps like we talked about earlier (and exactly in that order--except I exit out of the shell before I issue the adb install superuser.apk command) and I reboot the Nook. Turn the Nook back on and open Root Explorer, but then RE tells me that there are issues with Superuser and to close RE and restart the RE app. So I do. But it repeats the same process. (I've removed everything so I don't remember the exact language. When I open SU there is no way for me to add an app (that I know of anyway) including looking at the settings. So that's where I'm stuck. And if I can't get root access, then apps like SetCPU and Quickboot won't run successfully.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] HotShotAzn:
Grab another version of RE. I'm finding that version matters when trying to sideload apps.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] indeana:
EUREKA!!!

:)

Thanks to everyone for your help! I finally figured it out. Just as I was about to take the last suggestion of finding and downloading another version of RE, I found and downloaded another version of Superuser (version 4). The new SU version extracts from the zip differently but I was finally able to push and modify per the earlier instructions, installed the new SU version, rebooted, started RE, added it to the SU Whitelist and BAM Root Explorer is working just as I expected it to. SetCPU and Quickboot also seems to be working.

Once again, thank you! You were all GREAT!!!

Rooted G2 with Desire rom. I can see the "app sharing apk" in TI backup but there is no option to install it. Please help I really like that app.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] MATOPETE:
I assume that's a system file, if it is you have to extract it from the ROM it came from, you need ADB and unyaffs ( get it http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/)

*I never actually used it to get your apk, but I will give you a "guideline"

*here is a nice tutorial on how to use unyaffs http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2010/05/29/extracting-files-from-a-nandroid-backup-using-unyaffs/

# Prepare a staging area on your computer

mkdir nandtmp

cd nandtmp

# Copy your old nandroid (stock or NANDroid) backup to your staging area..........

# i.e. /androidbackups/clockworkmod/backup/2010-11-01.02.02.02 cp $WHEREVER_OLD_IMAGE_IS/system.img .

# extract files... unyaffs system.img adb remount

# Push the app sharing files back to your Android device adb push ./system/lib/libapp sharingCore.so /system/lib/ adb push ./system/app/app sharing.apk /system/app/

# Some know issues can happen if you are not mounted (possibly non read/write system?)

I was using my friends evo and he had a really cool bookmark widget ( in my opinion anyway ). From what I understand it comes with htc sense. Is there any way I could get it on my G2 ? Sorry for the android noobiness as I have only owned the G2 for 3 days.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] immune15:
So after doing some reading it seems I can only do this by rooting my phone. My new question is if I perm root my phone does that prevent me from getiing all future updates ? My next question is is there something like the sense bookmark widget that I can get without rooting my phone ? My android noobness is scaring me a little to attempt rooting.

Try Launcher Pro and get the "plus" version, it has widgets much liek Sense UI on the Evo.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Okay so I was running CM6 RC1, and then I flashed a variation that did not include ADW.Launcher. Thus I downloaded ADW from the Market. Once I upgraded to RC2, I went back to the one that comes with, and uninstalled the Market version.

Whenever I open the Downloads section of the Market now, ADW appears on top, saying "FREE" but not installed. Every time I get a notification of updated apps, the count is one more than it should be (e.g. one app has an update, I get a notification for 2). I think it's counting ADW somehow.

I tried reinstalling and uninstalling it from the market but it still didn't break the link. Is there a way to force ADW off my Market downloads list?

[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
HI ALL,

I'm thinking about getting a G Tablet and I plan on using it as a

replacement for my netbook. I read the forums about the G Tablet out

of box isn't the greatest but with a rom update, the G Tablet works

better.

My question is what utils do I need to upgrade the rom and any

other apps .. tnt or tnt light what do I need to do the rom updates. Most

likely it looks like the roms are updated through the micro-sd card.

Basically any info on updating the rom and utils is a plus ..

Also, I'm a big fan of Gentoo too ...:D
[G Tablet General] Deusdies:
You're right, out of the box, their software simply sucks.

You won't really need any desktop utilities to replace the ROM. You'll need to find on the forum how to install Clockwork Mod (it's simple; you'll basically have to put two files on your sd card) and then installing ROMs goes down to putting a ZIP file on your SD card and selecting "install this zip file" in Clockwork Mod.
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
Cool ...

I'm going tomorrow to get it and install all the cool stuff.
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
Thanks for the reply...

I just got it and I'm charging it up... I plan on reading more info

about clockworks mod and the tnt lite 2.11 ...

I got a 4 gb micro-sd card for the rom updates and other stuff.

I plan on getting a 16GB next month. I figure it's no big rush.

The quality of the item is good and overall design too.

Just need to see if Plants vs Zombies can be added to this

now ... :p
[G Tablet General] P_6:
GenBlood,

I bought mine with the same purpose in mind. I went TnT 2.11 as well.

As far as getting the ROM installed, the extra microsd is a fail-safe. To accomplish an update, all you need to do is copy the proper files to the internal storage of the gTab (will show up as external drive to your pc when you hook it up via usb, and enable on the gTab). Then, you force a recovery boot (when off, push power, while holding VOL +, wait for message indicating recovery mode). It's actually very simple.

With the latest Flash Install, and Market Fix, I am a mouse cursor away from leaving my Netbook at home, permanently. (Hope we can get Mouse working in TnT like the other ROMS. Pretty sure I'm sticking with TnT at this point)

You may not want to get too deep with 2.11, however, roe has 2.2 coming out in a couple of days, which will include some fixes.

[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
Actually, the last update offered by ViewSonic has mouse support. Keyboard support it always had. Unfortunately, that update has been pulled because of some problems. They say that they will release an improved update "soon".

As for the stock UI "sucking", keep in mind that this is an old thread. There have been updates released by ViewSonic that vastly improve the stock UI. I have found no reason to flash a rogue firmware. Also, keep in mind that using rogue firmware will void your warranty.

You can install Android Market on the stock UI, and it can then just as easily be uninstalled. Just search the forums for a How-To for Market installation. I would recommend using it stock for a while, before trying to install other firmwares.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gehrc:
Hey Guys,

Just curious to see if anyone else is in the same situation. My first Eris was ok for a few months, but began to slow down and the touchscreen wasn't working well, so VZW shipped me a replacement. Immediately after swapping, the replacement's touchscreen was unresponsive, so I had another one shipped out, and I got it Monday. That phone is the one I have now, and it keeps overheating and dying within three hours. Replacement #4 comes on Friday.

At this point, I'm sick of these things. A phone should just work. I know the Eris was the lower-end model, but at the time it was all I could get. Today when speaking to the girl she did mention that I could purchase another 'like-new' phone, though I'd have to pay for it. The original Motorola Droid was the most expensive at $289.00. Has anyone had enough issues with this phone to get them to send you a new phone for free? I don't want to overpay for a replacement model that's already been used. My warranty expires soon as well, so I need to resolve the issue fast. I've seen success stories of some people getting new Incredibles sent to them, can any of you share how? I'd like to think that Eris #4 will work, but I'm skeptical at this point. Apparently Verizon's 'rigorous re-certification process' isn't so rigorous after all. It would be cheaper to switch networks and get a new Android phone, but it's not an option because I'm on a plan with my family.

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Just call them and when they offer to send you another eris, tell them you simply dpnt want another eris because all the others didn't work. Keep at them, get a little angry, threaten to leave the network, and if all else fails, ask to speak to a supervisor.

So am I. It took a lot of pushing for me to get them to give me an Incredible. Like I said, the fact my Eris didn't go into safe mode helped, but also the first rep I got just simply didn't want to deal with me, so instead of forwarding me to their supervisor they bounced me to another rep. I actually wasn't angry with them at all - I was being downright polite.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mech_egr:

This is a good place to start, but it's difficult to get a good idea because there are too many variables that affect battery life from user to user.
