[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewjulian:
Most of the time these "stock" apps are odexed files, I would suggest getting the system.img file from the phone/rom that has the dialer app you want and extract the odex file AND the apk file for the dialer then run it through an apk deodex script(I'm on a MacBook), then try to install it. Not promising this will work, but give it a shot and if it doesn't pan out politely ask a dev if they can port it, XDA is full of helpful and willing devs, as long as you aren't an ass about it like some people are, let me know if this helps!

+1..... I'd like to see this ported over. I had a Samsung Captivate and I miss my contacts app much better than what I have on Evo.

Anyone had luck on this? I just upgraded to s5 from s2 and want the stock memo widget from s2 installed onto the s5 as the s5 widget can't go smaller than 4x1.

You might have better luck asking in the Samsung forums. The most recent post prior to yours was over three years ago and it doesn't seem that anyone has an answer, that, and the OP was looking for a way to use an app from a non-HTC device on a HTC phone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karnzo:
But that's not my main issue...I've come to terms with my addiction. I'm ready to live my life flashing roms after every update. I do have a few real questions though...and I don't need the answer...just someone to post a link and I'll do all the reading. There are just so many threads now I don't even know where to look anymore.

My questions:

1. I saw somewhere on a thread someone posted a badass skull icon as their "app drawer button" (I'm sure there is a name for it...so forgive me) on their dock. Well I can't find the post anymore, and I have no idea where to look. How do I install something like this? Just download an icon somewhere?

2. SetCPU - I paid for it...and I'm sure I'm not using it right...anyone got a link to a guide? I've run various lagfixes...like a Eugene kernel, but there are so many different option while in recovery I have no clue what they do. This may be two questions actually...I tend to get distracted...oh look a blue car!

3. I'm currently running the TOXIC Beta2. I like it..and I love the dialer, and the status bar...green is cool. But like I stated, I'm addicted to flashing and I'm itching to try Master's 2.1 Axura ROM. Is there a way to have this dialer on other ROMS?

Ok, that's all for now. I know these may seem like basic questions, but I taught myself to root, flash, poop, etc. all by myself without asking a million questions that you can find with a little bit of research...so I'd appreciate some helpful responses. Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Hey bro. Unfortunately I can't help with #1 or #3. But I might be able to help with #2. To use set CPU properly you have to make sure your running a kernel that is capable of overlooking. Eugene has several kernels depending on what rom your running.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karnzo:
Thanks man. I thought maybe SetCPU only worked with a kernel, but wasn't sure. I also didn't know if it would work with OCLF. Now I just need to know how to configure the settings or whatever.

Anyone else got any answers for #1 or #3?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmartof:
I know its possible to have the dialer on axura because I changed mine but you will just have to find it somewhere and use root explorer to apply it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karnzo:
Okay...I'll look into that. Anyone else have any advice for using SetCPU?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbbb:
I once was addicted to flashing but I flashed this combo:

Bionix Final R1

Core 1.2 GHZ OC kernel

This combo is like bottled lightning, everything EVERYTHING EVERYTHING goes so blindingly fast it's ridiculous...

Try it out it won't harm you. I used to flash a ROM almost every day or other day, now I'm using this until Onyx V6 drops.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
You could play around with set cpu some. if your looking for better battery, then set it for conservative and the max at 800. Or if you set it for performance and the max at 1000, and the min at 400.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverrette:
I have a similar question. Where do I download Eugene's overclocking kernel for JK2. Also what are the proper instructions for installing a kernel using ROM manager or clockworkmod?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
1. You might find it here.. and more/ look in the icons tab

2. i think this is covered

3. extract the dialertab.apk from Toxic. delete and replace axura's default

-this can be done before flashing.. delete axura's default dialer, then simple drag and drop of toxic dialer to replace.. save, then flash

-if ur already running axura use root explorer, copy toxic dialer to SDcared. delete axura's and replace. done
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverrette:
I apologize im still a noob to this. I figured out how to install jk2 using odin but i cant figure out how to install a oc kernel, can someone explain it step by syep? Thanks
[Defy General] robrob777:
Hi Guys I just bought a Defy 2 days ago, and I notice that the Wifi does not disconnects while the phone is sleeping. I checked the wifi sleep policy and it says turn off when screen is off. anybody has similar problems?

My HD2 running Android will turn off the wifi after 15 mins.

I just hard reseted the phone but it is the problem persists.

I have the wifi calling app off, I can see it doesn't disconnects because it has the wifi logo in the status bar when I wake the device up also I can see it in my router.

Thanks in advance

Edit: I solved. I didn't want to, but I had to root the phone and then delete some apps included with the phone, I don't know which one was the problem but it worked, be careful deleting system apps as they cannot be reinstalled even after factory reset :

Hey is anyone elses GTab's touch sensitivity kind of off?

I noticed, compared to the iPad and Galaxy Tab, some times it takes me 2-4x of tryinng to press something to get it going.

Its almost like the screen cant pick it up sometimes. And sometimes when scrolling, it selects things, when im just Trying to scroll..

Also the top left HOME button on screen is always iffy, most times ill need 2-4 more times 2 press it to get it going.

I am using TNT 2.2.

Anyone else noticed this? i feel like its hardware.
[G Tablet General] supanatuwral:
Definetely not as responsive as my EVO. Maybe its the cheap screen. I wish it could be fixed via software, but fat chance. I guess not all capacitive screens are created equal.
[G Tablet General] HighTech216:
You nailed it. IMO Samsung has been making the best color screens for years.
[G Tablet General] P_6:
Have had absolutely no problems with touchpad responsiveness from my gTab... Just as sensitive and responsive as my Dinc.

Really does seem like this hardware is hit or miss... Some tabs have no issues some have many.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
You guys are just plain spoiled. I've gone through Palm IIIx to now the gTablet, and it just simply has the most responsive touch screen that I've ever used, but I've had recent experience with the dreadful Augen GT and the slightly less dreadful White Pandigital Novel, both of which had worse touch screens than other devices that I've used.

One thing that I do, do for the gTab though is to clean the screen quite a bit. At a minimum I do so before every use as I find the fingerprint/body oils buildup to be annoying in fairly short order and it might have some impact on touch responsiveness. It's the worst fingerprint magnet that I've ever seen actually...
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
No issues here with single touch sensitivity, pretty good on that. Just as good as my Nexus One. Multitouch and pinch-to-zoom still a bit flaky. I am hopeful that will be resolved by software and/or driver improvements, as it was on the Nexus One.

The only issues I have are when the screen is too dirty or too clean. When I really scrub and clean the glass off entirely, at first it's a bit too "sticky" almost when my finger contacts it - maybe that's because it's winter here in the Northeast and my skin is dry. Once I've used it a bit and it gets some finger grease on it, it works perfectly. But if it gets grit or solid dirt on it, that can definitely interfere with the touch screen too, as with any capacitive screen.

I suspect the optimal thing would be a really good screen protector that's easy to clean and has that smooth finger contact feeling out of the box, like the iPad's glass does, for example, which I think has something to do with the oleophobic coating.
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
Typing this on my gtablet. The issue for me is the keyboard. There are parts of the screen that are unresoonsive making some letters not get tapped. The A key and l keys in particular. As a result I can't type smoothly or naturally because I will make several errors along the way. This does not happen onky iphone or my wires ipad.

it might bemy rrleason for sending it back as it takes too ongoing totyr correctly and I get tire d of all the corrections.
[G Tablet General] mmathai77:
Well if your using the stock tnt keyboard, it sucks. We can learn from the ipad, with the size of the screen it has huge keys that cover a lot more of the screen then our stock tnt keyboard. I use smart keyboard pro with the key heights set to maximum and it works so much better, like 100x better. Even has voice to text.
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
Can people check their keyboard? I find that if I type most of the keys they type fine. However, the letter a key seems to only work when pressed offcenter which prevents. From typing properly as I must deliberately slow down and make sure it is correctly typed otherwise I get many errors. Could this be a defect in my screen?

Or is this a ui problem with tnt?

This could be a deal breaker as I misspelled every word if. Has h letter A
[G Tablet General] lcyn:
Letter A

I have the same problem with the letter A, and sometimes P. Otherwise touch is great
[G Tablet General] Stocklone:
Figured why this tablet is driving me nuts. There are two dead zones on this tablet. Someone please do this test so I can figure out if this is just my tablet or all g tablets.

Download mulitouch vis test. Do rapid light touches in the area where the 'a' key is and delete key are. If I do this test in the middle of the screen it registers every single tap. But in those two areas I can sometimes tap 10 times in a row and not have a single tap register.

If this all g tablets then I think it's going back.

Also is there a keyboard with arrow keys? Trying to place the cursor can be a real pain.
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
Agreed bout the dead spots. The stock tap n tap western keyboard seems tominimize them due to the angles but if I try another keyboard I miss the a and the return button all the time
[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
Downloaded the app as well because I, too, am having the same screen non-responsiveness issue. Lo and behold the area where the "L" key is is a pretty dead spot. It would register about 40% of the quick taps I did in that area. Is this is a software issue? If so, I can live with it and hope our wonderful devs release a software build that resolves this otherwise, this thing may be going back because it's driving me up the wall!
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
I do see the occasional missed tap here and there, but no consistent dead areas that I've noticed (the A and L buttons on keyboard seem fine to me).

Multitouch sensitivity is wayyyyy mis-calibrated though - you have to use very heavy finger presses to get multitouch to register. This is some sort of driver or calibration issue that should be easily solved.

I found a binary called TSCalibration in the /system/bin directory on my VEGAn ROM G Tablet. Tried running it from terminal, but it seems to be looking for a calibration.ini file on the SDCard. I'd be willing to bet we could figure out how to fix some of the touchscreen issues with some work, because I suspect they are principally software related.
[G Tablet General] RavenII:
If your issues with the touchscreen are anything like this...exchange it...

My new one requires very little effort if any at all to get the screen to respond...

However, if you're talking about the once in a while miss of a touch...yes, I agree with cutterjohn....you're spoiled. Return the device asap, so I could pick it up from an outlet...please?
[G Tablet General] Stocklone:
There is a big difference between these dead spots and the occasional miss. I have no problem with the occasional miss. I just have to adjust to how my finger touches the tablet to get more consistent hits.

There are areas of my tablet that consistently do not behave like the other areas. Does that sound normal to you? I can't have a tablet where anything in the 2 corners is extremely inconsistent. If I have the tablet oriented a certain way the soft-buttons get put into one of the bad corners and that is really frustrating.

I don't think it is how I am holding it because the problem follows the physical corners and it is not relative to my hand. So that rules that out. And I washed my hands and gave the tablet a good cleaning so dirt/grease/grime is not an issue either. It could have been too clean but why only two corners?

I have many weeks to go on my 30 days so I will keep screwing with it to see if I can come up with anything that is a workaround or explains why it is happening. It is insanely fast and it's modding future looks extremely bright with such talented people. If I get fed up enough, I'll exchange it and hopefully get one with a even touch response for the whole screen or simply return it and wait a couple more months for Honeycomb tablets.
[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
Whoa. That video was pretty bad. While mine is not like that (thank God), I just tried hitting the app drawer key and it only registered after the 13th tap?!?! seriously wtf. While it isn't a "dead zone" per se, that's still pretty bad. There has to be a software fix to recify this issue with the right side of the screen. (my "L" and "delete" button are pretty bad as well).
[G Tablet General] RavenII:
THAT is a defective product...

I'll do another video to compare with my new one...WITH funky assed salty sweat all over the screen. Works flawlessly...
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
Is your model that is working well running stock firmware and keyboard?

mine is tent lite and the stock keyboard is ok. It if I try to use the alternative keyboards then I get consistent misses on key presses especially on the letter a.
[G Tablet General] rswindle:
I'm always tapping *constantly*, like 10-20 times on certain spots around the corners and edges of the screen, I'm about to return mine because of this.. Believe I'm still in the 2 weeks with office depot, will have to go snag the $350 one over at sears and hopefully it will come with a screen protector this time (this one I have didn't come with one, wonder if that has to do with the dead spots)..
[G Tablet General] Stocklone:
Hmm. Mine from Sears also had no screen protector that people have been talking about. I also have dead corner areas. I was watching a Honeycomb preview and it looks like tablets are going to be bad ass after that is released. However, if the touch is a manufacturing issue all of the awesomeness of Honeycomb will be for nothing. Please let me know if your Sears replacement is any better. If your replacement has the same issue, this thing is going back.
[G Tablet General] RavenII:
No worky (again)

Worky!
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
All of those fingerprints would just drive me nuts... :D
[G Tablet General] Stocklone:
Well since it look like not everyone has corner issues I am exchanging mine tomorrow. Wish me luck.
[G Tablet General] Stocklone:
Well I am returning what I believe is a perfectly good working G Tablet to the Sears in Fairborn, OH. That's twice now that I could NOT get the dead spots to occur in the morning. I honestly beginning to think it is a screen cleanliness issue cause I don't see how a touch screen could work and then not work and then work, etc if it was an internal hardware issue and the dead spots look like they would be were my thumbs would naturally position while holding it. That can't be a coincidence. Right?

I'm typing on the stock TnT that I restored now and haven't missed a single letter a, l or p.

I'm returning it because my wife offered to buy me a AMD 6970 for Christmas (providing I can find one) and there is only so much money to go around. I already own an i7 netbook and 3 android phones with two of them having 1GHz CPU's. I'm hardly lacking in portable computing devices. True none of the phones are even close to being as fast as a modded G Tablet but I'll live.

Good luck to everyone. Hopefully somebody from here can pick mine up at a nice openbox discount.
[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
Anyone take theirs in for a replacement and not have the issue with the "a" and "l" keys on the replacement? I don't know if this is an issue with just my unit or if it's widespread. I would hate to return this unit which is fine in every other aspect only to pick up a unit with the same problem and then some...

Possible Touchscreen Calibration Fix!

So,

I'm having the same problem: upper two thirds of touchscreen is "dead"!!!!

I searched around and found a thread about people installing the "HTC_Calibrate.apk" and using the resulting program on other tablets. Not very useful on the "G", especially since the program wants you to touch regions of the screen that are dead for me! I then saw the previous posting above about the file "/system/bin/TSCalibration". I decided to give it a try...

>BEGIN HACK ALERT<:D

I installed the "Terminal Emulator 5.0" program and tried to run it, no go! I then played around and ended up being able to "exec" the binary. It ran with the "Cannot open calibration.ini". I "pulled" the binary off of the "G" with adb and looked for the strings inside. It needs to have the "ini" file in the root of "sdcard2"! I used the adb shell environment to create an empty file ("echo >calibration.ini") on sdcard2 (also did it on /sdcard - just in case!). I then ran terminal emulator and issued the commaned "exec /system/bin/TSCalibration", this time it found all the files it was looking for (including a file "/sys/devices/platform/tegra_touch/calibration") and my dead regions have totally vanished.

>END HACK ALERT<:D

In fact, my touchscreen is now like it was on day one (three day old "G"). In fact, it may be a little too sensitive! I'll take "too sensitive" over dead any day...

For all those having problems, give this little hack a try and see if it fixes your tablet.

Now I need to make a script (or someting) to run this on demand whenever I notice problems with the touchscreen -or- everytime the "G" wakes!...

Enjoy!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I have to test this out. Could it be that simple?

Btw, that calibration tool runs on boot, it's in the init.rc (TnT stock / TnT Lite for sure). I just assumed it was some holdout from older Android versions that were never removed. You might want to remove that file when it's how you iike it, as you might not want it to run on every boot(?).

Your post deserves to be in the general FAQ area, for sure. Going to add it!
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Hysterical... I tried running it but never created an empty calibration.ini file for it and gave up after the error message. Great find!!
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
for those of us who are not adept at this, is there a way to make a simple way to run such a calibration? If I could get back the sensitivity problems, I can probably lie with the otherwise poor viewing angles and enjoy this device.

But given all the troubles typing and pressing soft home button.... i am getitng fed up with this device
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That TSCalibration tool runs on every boot (in TnT stock and TnT Lite), but doesn't do anything if there's no flag file. So, conceivably, if you put a calibration.ini file in the root of your /sdcard2 and reboot, it should run on every reboot and calibrate until you remove it. It's certainly worth a try if your calibration is messed up.

For me, it needed to be in /sdcard2 to work. Maybe because I have an microSD inserted? Not sure.
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
How do I do that? I am bit of noob

my top corner where home button is seems dead. If it is fixable I can salvage this device
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
The executable is already running on each boot - it looks like you just need to tell it to actually calibrate. So, as a test, so this:

Create a file called "calibration.ini" on your PC. It's just an empty text file.

Boot up your device, connect it via USB and copy that file to the root of that mounted drive.

(If you have a microSD card) -- copy that file to the root of that card, as well. You can do this within the device itself, or just take the card out and add it, then add the card back.

Reboot the device and see what happens.

I think this should work, as that TSCalibration binary does run at boot time. If it doesn't, you might have to use a terminal emulator as already mentioned, or you can use ADB.
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
Will this work without micro SD card?

So this file just does into root folder?

It then will auto calibrate?
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
how does one make the calibration.ini file?

I am on Mac btw
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm not sure if it will or not. I would just try it. On my system, it seems to want to look on the root of /sdcard2 (micro SD).

As to how to create the file, it's just an empty text file. Notepad, vi, echo, cat, gedit, whatever tool you would use to create a text file is fine.
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
ok created the file put it in the root folder rebooted.

Don't see a difference

How do I know if it executed ?
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
Thanks for all your help soon this board!!!!!!

Just noticed you Swiss this works on tent and variants. Is this true of the vegan beta also? If not what procedure should I perform?
[G Tablet General] epods_one:
Hello Again,

Now that I have "rooted" my "G" by installing and using 'z4root', I have a much simplier technique. After installing "Titanium Backup" and allowing it to install the "superuser" and "busybox" stuff, I'm able to just use the "terminal emulator" program running directly on my "G" and just issue the "su" command at the commandline then I can perform the "echo >/sdcard2/calibration.ini" and also afterwards and from then on, I can execut the program directly "/syster/bin/TSCalibration"!

Hopefully this makes things easier for people!

By the way, I'm running the latest stock firmware from Viewsonic on my "G"...

Enjoy!

Surprisingly this seems to have increased the sensitivity of my GTab....

I was having issues at the very bottom of the screen in portrait orientation and the launcherpro dock icons, having to tap repeatedly to get my shortcuts to launch.

After doing this, just a light tap and it fires up my selected apps now.

It was, previously, to the point of not wanting to "demo" that GTab because of the need to repeatedly tap the screen to get things to work, so major improvement to me.
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
Anyone get this calibration tweak working from the internal SD card?
