This is how I got it to work... It's a mish-mash of instructions from K J Rad and wasserkapf...

use a terminal emulator...

1) At the prompt type "su" (without the quotes...) and tap enter. This will invoke SuperUser and you will be asked whether to allow or deny. Tap Allow. Your prompt is now "#"

2) Type the following commands exactly as they appear below. Pay careful attention to the punctuation and spacing. If at anytime you get an error message it will likely mean that there is a syntax problem with what you typed. You can retry typing the command that caused the error with no ill effects.

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

busybox cp /data/app/com.ni.keyboard-2.apk /system/app/com.ni.keyboard-2.apk

rm /data/app/com.ni.keyboard-2.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/com.ni.keyboard-2.apk

reboot

Then, when the machine is turned back on...

Press the magnifying glass icon on the top of the toolbar (right side of tablet). Then just press the open space above the keyboard, about 2 seconds is all it takes. It should pop-up a window that gives "Input method" as an option. Press that and the keyboard option will show.

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!! Thank you. :)
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
Anybody notice how my message to thank you ratio went to hell today...?

Glad you got it! Next up... Custom Kernel...
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I think that this is a system-wide setting. But don't be surprised if some apps need to have the keyboard changed separately. Once changed, you shouldn't have to do it again.
[G Tablet General] badtypist:
There, that better? I thanked ya a bunch more times. I'd do the same for wasserkapf, but I don't want him to think I'm stalkin' him. I keep TELLING him I'll let him know when I'm actually stalking him, but I don't want to cross that line. ;) :rolleyes: And if you're talking about me and a custom kernel... well, you can forget that right now! I don't know what it is, and I don't want it, and I don't want to want it... so don't even TELL me!! :p
[G Tablet General] badtypist:
I can go to sleep a happy camper!!! :D Job well done! [I tried to thank you again, but I was told I can only "thank" someone 5 times a day! And no... I'm STILL not stalking you! :) ;) But seriously, thank you. You are a true educator, and you're very cool! :cool: Good luck with your taxes. :( :)
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I probably shouldn't do this, but...

If you want to see who you are actually (not) stalking, check my Picasa web album.

In the "work" album, I'm the guy in the hole fixing the fire hydrant. I AM NOT the guy in the sewer manhole! (how disgusting).
[G Tablet General] badtypist:
Hey, way cool!!!! :-) Thanks so much for sharing those excellent photos, wasserkapf! GREAT pictures! It looks like you love what you do. [And I LOVE your visitor! I don't think I've ever SEEN a muskrat! i think that was the first time I've ever seen a PICTURE of a muskrat.] I sent you a PM to share what I do, too! [And no, you peeping Toms and Tomerinas... it's nothing nasty (or even sexy)! I'm a teacher for goodness sakes!] :p So you can stop all your watchin' now!!! :D ;) :rolleyes:

K J, I hope your daughter had a great time at her prom! And aren't you a cool dad to take the rest of your girls out to eat while one is off having the best night of her young life! :cool:
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
Thanks. I will pass that along... the part about me being a cool dad I mean... ;)
[G Tablet General] badtypist:
Ha ha. Yeah, if we don't tell our kids we're cool... they'd never know! :) ;) This past summer, I took my youngest son up to NYC to spend some time together before he went to college. When some of my former students heard I was coming back "home" they insisted I come and stay with them while my son and I were visiting. My son thought they were VERY cool, and almost swallowed his tongue each time one of them said something to the effect of, "Your mother was THE coolest teacher I've ever had, and it's almost 30 years later, and I STILL remember her with nothing but love and respect. She had my back and taught me everything I know. She made me the man I am today." :) It blew my son away each time he heard it. Ha ha. :p It was the BEST trip EVER! Before your daughter goes off to college, K J, you should try to spend some alone time with her. Just the two of you (before she gets too busy with college and life, in general). She'll remember it always! And she just might find out for herself just how totally cool you ARE!!! :D
[G Tablet General] poserina:
I don't even want to think about that, my girls are 10 and 11 and I don't think I'll be able to handle them moving out. BTW glad you got the keyboard working. Let us know how you like it. I use thumb keyboard and it's pretty good. It has several different tablet variations. I also have an original Droid phone that uses swype but it didn't work for me on the tablet.
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
I am my daughters hero. Literally. It's a very long story but they know they were always first and always will be. This last one will be home for another couple of years while she gets some of the basics out of the way at community college, but she's ready to fly solo. It's time for her dreams to take over. No telling where they'll lead ;-)
[G Tablet General] badtypist:
poserina, I REALLY like the new keyboard because it's SO much better than the stock keyboard. [Although to be really honest, I like my computer keyboard the best--because it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.] About my sons going off to college... I (literally) cried for weeks (maybe months) when my younger son went off to college. (I have 2 sons.) When my older one left, I cried too, but still had my younger one home for a year after that, and, (poor kid), he got all the "love" for both boys that last year he was home. [I suspect that will happen to your 10 year old. Which only made things worse for me, because in that last year, I REALLY got close to my "baby" so it was even harder to let him go. I was just about inconsolable when we dropped him off to college.

K J, you ARE a good dad. I applaud that. You were, are and always will be there for your kids, and they know it. You did a good job! Your dughter will find her way as long as you've helped her "find her passion." I've always told my students (adolescents and adults) and my sons that my wish for them is that they find their passion--no matter what it is--and go for it. I tell them that if they find their passion (business, singing, computers, installing air handlers, helping animals, whatever their interest and/or passion), they will wake up excited every day of their lives and, like me, will feel as if they've never "worked" a day in their lives... because they LOVE what they do! So K J, you are helping your daughter find that. Help keep her focused on her ultimate goal.

poserina, now is the time to expose your girls to all that is available to them! Help them find something that will give them a direction. Each child's dream and passions will be quite different, so let them tell YOU what interests them. It will be fun exploring things with them, and for your girls' ages, now is such a fantastic time to be doing that! [Before they get too busy with school and friends, etc.]

There's an expression... "A mother (or father) is only as happy as his or her least happy child." I believe that is true.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
Let's not let this thread drift too far off-topic. If others come here for help they may not want to read all of the personal stuff.
[G Tablet General] badtypist:
:-) I may be an android airhead, but when it comes to kids, teaching, parenting and empowering others... THAT'S something I can finally help with! Once K J and poserina have acknowledged that they read them, wasserkapf, I can delete them (I think). [IS there a way to delete messages?]
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
That was just a friendly reminder, no need to delete anything.

I guess you can tell that I used help moderate another forum. Once you moderate, you never again view a forum as just a poster.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Paul and badtypist,

Not on topic, but interesting -- and I found I have something in common with both

of you!

Paul, when I pastored in Wyoming years ago I worked as Pipeline Superintendent for

a city and among other things had 40 miles of 20" wooden pipeline to maintain. Seeing

your fire hydrant made me think of replacing one just like it about 3 a.m. one

morning when it was 60 below and snowing and so cold we could barely get the

machinery to work.

badtypist, I don't know how well known you are, but I do have one claim to fame. I

made the front page of the New York Times tech section one time -- and from Louisiana that's

not bad. I was beta testing some satellite hardware and software and it got

noticed.

I suppose your and my comments are not technically modding and the like, but

somewhere in the middle of all the tech stuff there needs to be a reminder that

we are all human -- hopefully more good than bad.

[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I know that there are still some wooden water mains out there, it's amazing!

We don't have those, as our system isn't that old. The repair in the first picture was on the oldest, laid in the 1940's, before our city ever existed. (Sorry, I removed the link to those pics, so I added it below). You can barely see it, but the water main is next to an old brick manhole. In fact, the manhole was built around the main! The reason we knew there was a main break was because water was pouring in through the mortar joints. Nowadays, you have to separate the water and sewer by 10 feet.

OOPS! More off-topic posts! :eek:

The new section is next to the manhole. If you look really close you can see the red brick.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pikaomega:
I am a total spaz when it comes to these things, but you all have never steered me wrong before, so here goes.

I kept getting an message about storage space the other day and accidentally performed a hard reset on my Tilt II. Dumb, I know, but it happens. Thankfully, all of my files were reinstalled when I synced my phone. All was well, called out an hour before I got home tonight, but I shortly discovered that the "phone" part of my phone was not working at all. No contacts, no nothing, not even pulling up the screen to dial out. I did a few soft resets, took out the SIM and the battery, to no avail. I thought I would try to sync it again and see if that helped.

Well, I kept getting a message saying that my device could not be connected to ActiveSync, so, like an idiot, I read a blog that said to overwrite with ActiveSync 4.5, which I did, and delete the existing sync settings on my phone. I was understanding that all of my info would be preserved on the PC and that I would just need to reconnect my phone.

Well, I don't have the setup disc and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it working again. It seems that the only programs available are for Vista, but I have XP. I have no idea if it stems from the phone being jacked or what.

Please help!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmputrgk:
I am in desperate need of help. I have been trying slide ROMS forever now and I cannot find one that works. I absolutely need these features: t-mobile contact sync, an alarm app that plays mp3s as an alarm, and one that will sync correctly, has no major noticeable bugs or force closes. Does anyone have a suggestion. I have tried cyanogen and Slidemeroot5 and some other minor ones. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Well, if you want something that just works, with t-mobile contact sync, use cr_mod, search it in the dev section. It's just the stock ROM rooted and with the OTA update applied and a wifi tether pre-installed. As for the alarm clock that plays MP3's you might have to look in the market or search the forums, is that really necessary though? The stock alarm sounds are plenty obnoxious.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmputrgk:
Thanks. and yes that fact that they are obnoxious is the problem. Thanks for your input.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Ah, well then I'm sure there's something in the market that will allow you to do that. :D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MGA2009:
Hi,

I have an HTC Paradise, it's a phone that never saw the light of day. It's working properly but the rom is "watermarked".

I would like to know if there is any way to backup my current ROM and bootloader from ADB shell.

That way I can backup it, modify it and flash it again.

Would this work? I know that backup is very easy with "custom recovery", but dunno without it.

This is a picture of the bootloader:

The phone is already rooted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MGA2009:
I have found that busybox might help, but I don't want to brick the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MGA2009:
No help?

Any comments?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MGA2009:
Got BusyBox running thru "adb shell".

I backuped the "/system" folder but it seems that it's not enough to generate and "update.zip"

I found in another forum how to dump "recovery" and "bootloader".

Using: "adb shell" and then "busybox cat /proc/mtd" I've got this:

mtd0 "misc"

mtd1 "recovery"

mtd2 "boot"

mtd3 "system"

mtd4 "cache"

mtd5 "userdata"

mtd6 "crashdata"

So I proceed to "busybox dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd1 of=/sdcard/recovery-dump.img bs=4096"

Now I have an IMG file of about 5mb...

That's enough to flash it thru FASTBOOT? What about the ROM? Can I modify it (remove sense) and flash it again?
[Fascinate General] Alexgsp:
So i recently decided to flash DJ05 and voodoo5 to my fascinate, Needless to say I was loving life. But here are also where my issues came into to play. I seem to have a flashing problem. As soon as a new update, rom, theme, anything comes out, I flash it. So while my phone was running like a Ferrari, I decided to flash geekniks kernel v1.54. My phone would not start again from this point on. Had a backup, did nothing. Flashed the previous kernel, nothing. So finally I resorted to good ol' odin. Now that I have my phone up and running again, I flashed DJ05 modem and DJ05_clean-0.6. Everything seemed to be running fine until I rebooted my phone. All of my setting were set back to default? Changed them back and rebooted again and the same thing happened. Everything works beautifully until I reboot. So besides my life story at the begining, has anyone else expirenced this, or have an idea on how to correct this? Also, I did try the "Settings-Privacy-Factory data reset". Thanks In advance.
[Fascinate General] ktez:
You need to completely remove voodoo - that's what's causing your issues. You can't just go from a voodoo kernel to a non-voodoo one. There is a sticky in this section at the top called "How to completely remove Voodoo" which has the detailed instructions on how to do this. I would also suggest reading some of the other stickies on here to get some helpful advice.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
Are you referring to the facebook pictures that associate themselves with your contacts or personally applied ones? If it's the facebook ones, I believe I've read here somewhere that you have to remove the facebook account from the phone, re-add it and then do a sync again.

[Captivate General] johnny13oi:
Hey guys, I use this phone with T-mobile and would love for it to work on T-mobile 3G bands. I know the Vibrant is there but I have a data plan that will not work with T-mobile branded Android phones. I have tried flashing a full Vibrant rom onto my Captivate and while some keys were swapped, the rom ran fine. The AWS band however was not there. I even tried flashing the Vibrant Radio and still no good. Any other ideas?

What would not have been touched by a rom and radio flash? Any possible hardware test points on the phone to released a lock on the bands? Maybe a few resistors?
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Totally different radio's, nothing you can do.
[Captivate General] Diamond_dawg:
+1 the hardware is totally different for the radio
[Captivate General] johnny13oi:
Oh I see. I guess I was a little hopeful. When I had the Vibrant rom on there I did manage to go to the UMTS band selection screen and saw 1700Mhz on there. It just would not connect to T-mobile's 3G network. I was hoping maybe an antenna swap would do it.

My Facebook wont sync with my Fascinate. Says there is an error with sync and to try again later. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Update - I just did the whole erase and then added the account back at the 1 hour sync interval and it worked fine... Only a handfull of contacts arent synced which im not too thrilled about, but ill take it over nothing!
[Fascinate General] sonar_chris:
boot to clockworkmod and do a wipe of everything. This should fix your sync issue, however you will have to reaload all your apps and set up your phone again. Recommend a Titanium Backup before you do all that though. This fixed it for me.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
Had a similar issue, for me i found it was my baseband. i upgraded the modem to DJ05 but was still on older ROM. When i downgraded the modem, everything was fine. Also when i re-upgraded both everything was fine too.
[Fascinate General] massappeal16:
Not to be a total ratard... but can you give me a step-by-step to this? I just like knowing exactly what I have to do so as to not mess anything up. Thanks!
[Fascinate General] massappeal16:
Can anyone else verify this works and/or give me a step by step to do it in newb form?
[Fascinate General] sonar_chris:
1. Turn your phone off

2. While holding both the volume buttons down press the Power button. Hold all three down until you have booted to the Hboot screen (android guys on skate boards on the bottom of the screen)

3. Let the phone search for an update (will take about 15 seconds)

4. With the volume buttons toggle down 1 space to recovery. Press the power button.

5. Phone will boot to Clockworkdmod.

6. use the volume buttons to scroll down to wipe data/factory reset and press the power button.

7. Scroll down to yes and press the power button again.

8. After wipe data/factory reset is complete, scroll down to wipe cache partition and press the power button

9. Scroll down to yes and press the power button again.

10. After cache partition wipe is complete scroll down to advanced and press the power button.

11. Scroll down once to Dalvik Cache. Press the power button.

12 Scroll down to yes and hit the power button.

13. After Dalvik Cache wipe is complete, press the menu soft key at the bottom of the phone.

14. At this point your should be back to the main menu of Clockworkmod, reboot system now should be highlighted, press the power button.

15. Phone will reboot, set up your phone again, sign into facebook again and then restore apps via titanium backup.
