Thanks for the heads up. I'm looking to pick up an extra battery or two but this is actually a downgrade lol.

Is this that two pack that comes with the charger?
[G2 and Desire Z General] massiveatak808:
No. I just got the battery by itself.

This is very very common with eBay batteries. Personally I wouldn't buy one at all. All most of them do is buy some cheap batteries from China and then sell them at a higher rating than they really are. It's difficult for people to test this out so they get away with it most of the time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
red batteries were good from that chick girl
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Yes, be very cautious before buying from eBay vendors. There are tons of counterfeit and bogus batteries, SD cards, etc. Don't buy unless you know for fact the seller's stuff is legit. Too bad, I'm sure there are plenty of good sellers on eBay. But also plenty of scammers.

If you want the latest Gmail that always displays images, I have it attached below.

I do not know if this can be installed as an "update" after uninstalling the updates that you got from the market, someone try it.

If that doesn't work, you will need root and to do the following:

adb push Gmail.apk /system/app

and then you will need to delete Gmail.odex from /system/app using Root Explorer or adb shell rm

[Optimus One, P500, V General] icsterm:
After testing several video formats on the P500 (both modded ROM + official, JIT + hw acceleration tweaks and OC), i find the phone lagging on normal avi files downloaded from the internet (drops ~ 5 fps). MPEG4 files are not a problem (this format works fine on all smartphones). So i was wondering if is there any hw acceleration enabled in the CPU (it's ARM v6). I wish i could play some 480p H264 files without terrible lag. I only found Rock Player fast enough, faster than the built in video player. Are there any other better video players for the P500? Or any tweaks to boost the video frame rates?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kebeq:
I was just fixing a problem with disabled video acceleration on a custom rom.

(in /system/build.prop set "media.stagefright.enable-player" set to false and reboot).

But with the acceleration enabled (as it is on the stock rom) you should be able to play those wildly used 350mb(usually 624x352 xvid) tv show avis from the internet (Fringe,Supernatural,Smallville,...) fine (close to 25fps all the time). Without the acceleration they usually run worse. I think that older dvdrips (less demanding encoding) play well too.

480p is probably too much. You can try to overclock the cpu (more?) ;)

Rockplayer seems to be the best universal choice. For software playing you can also try ArcMedia and yxplayer.
[Focus General] Bwyan Benton:
So, ive read that Microsoft was going to add some more user customization in the big update for WP7. I think there will be 2 seperate updates...one for the copy & paste feature...and then a bigger update shortly after. So I got to thinking....what if they gave us the option of choosing "glassy" looking live tiles...say something with 50% opacity and allowed us to set our own wallpapers along with those tiles instead of just a simple black or white background. I myself think that would be a really nice feature for customization to add. How many of you would actually like to see something like that added in???

[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
If you are already rooted, first I recommend install Koush's bootstrap recovery. This allows you to backup/restore your phone. A warning with this if you are new: Don't bounce back and forth between ROM's that are made for different android versions. For example, if you are on 2.2, don't try to apply a ROM for 2.1 as it will brick your phone due to a difference in the bootloader.

After you have installed Koush's bootstrap recovery, IMMEDIATELY make a backup. Then archive this off to your computer for safe keeping. This will be your saving grace if your phone gets messed up a little, and you want to go back to how it was as of right now.

Once you have that installed, you can install ROM manager, as this usually has the most recent releases (for the general public). I recommend that you do some searching on the forums here under Droid X themes and Droid X development and take a look at the threads for the different ROMs/Themes so you can get a feel for what they look like. Often reading through the posts also will help you get a feel, as people will usually provide their feedback.

A note if you are not familiar with flashing Themes/ROMs. This can be dangerous if you don't follow the instructions for each specific theme or ROM.

Sorry if this reply has seemed daunting by any means. I just have run into a few bumps myself as when I started messing around, I didn't know what I needed backups of...

Hope this helps! PM me if you need specific questions answered! Otherwise I'll try to check back
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
As for the different lock screens... I would look into Widgetlocker. It allows you to create shortcuts on your lock screen and use it a little more than the default lock screen from android.
[Droid X General] Jon El Canche:
How do you install updates to roms? I want to install gummyjar 1.9 but then there is also an 1.9.1 update. I know how to flash the rom but am not sure about the update. Is it just the same through clockwork, install from sd?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Usually you want to refer to the original post for the ROM and download the update from there. They will usually have steps to install the update.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
In response to some requests, I have added some pre-made boot.img files. They need to be flashed with nvflash, but at least you don't have to mess around with linux and coverting the files.

The files attached below have this logo that replaces the "G-Tablet" boot logo:

TNT Lite 3.0 Tegra.zip

TNT Lite 3.1 Tegra.zip

VEGAn beta 3 Tegra.zip

VEGAn beta 5.1 Tegra.zip

(attached to bottom of post)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADVANCED USERS ONLY - NVFLASH REQUIRED

I would like to reiterate the importance of when I say this is not for the faint of heart. You should be familiar with nvflash, know how to pull the partition table, know how to do a full restore, etc. You are directly and blindly flashing a partition. A small percentage of devices have a different partition table, which this guide would not work for. -Rothnic.

Thanks Rothnic! I couldn't say it better myself, so I didn't! :D

Thank you to JSZESZE for the image I used. It can be found here.

If you need help getting NVFLASH to work, you can find it here.

This will show you how to change the second boot screen or the "G-Tablet" screen with an image of your choice. I have attached the tools you need to do it, to565 needs to be compiled. Do not ask me how, I had to search google since I never compiled anything before, but I have included the to565.c so you don't need to go looking for it.

1. Extract the boot.img out of the rom zip you are using (update.zip) to your desktop

2. Place the boot.img, unpack-bootimg.pl, to565, and the boot folder on your desktop

3. Open a terminal

4. type in terminal

perl unpack-bootimg.pl boot.img

5. You should then have boot.img-ramdisk, boot.img-kernel.gz and boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz on your desktop

6. Delete boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz

7. Open the boot.img-ramdisk directory

8. Remove and save initlogo.rle

9. Open the photo you want to use in GIMP

10. Resize to 1024 x 600

11. Click save as...

12. Name the file splash.raw

13. Select file type "raw image data" and save to your desktop

14. RGB Save Type should be Standard (R,G,B)

15. Indexed Palette type should be R,G,B (normal)

16. In terminal:

./to565 -rle < splash.raw > initlogo.rle

17. You should now have ititlogo.rle on your desktop

18. copy that file to boot.img-ramdisk directory

19. Move boot.img-ramdisk folder and boot.img-kernel.gz to the boot folder

20. In terminal:

cd boot
perl repack-bootimg.pl boot.img-kernel.gz boot.img-ramdisk boot.img

21. Should have a boot.img file in the boot directory now.

22. In terminal:

./nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 10 boot.img

If you read through all of this and are lost, but really want that G-Tablet screen gone, I may help you out if you ask nicely.

Roebeet, Rothnic and Gojimmy... I would love to create something with your guys' roms.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] WickedStyx:
Worked a treat. Thanks again!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] movieman123:
How about just uploading the rom with it done?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
It really depends on which rom you have because the boot.img file is different in every rom.

I would invite the rom builders to incorporate these changes into their roms and I have offered via this thread to help include different initlogo.rle for the rom builders.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] KirMit:
Hi! How to make it all in Windows? Nothing with Linux near...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
Can't... unless you can cross-compile to565. If you manage to do that, I am not sure how you would run the perl scripts in windows because they are written to use the linux binaries.

or... you could run a VMware virtual machine with a linux dist on it. That really how I did it. I have Ubuntu running on a VM machine on Windows 7. But then again, you run into the problems of possibly never running linux before.

or... tell me which rom you are on and post the picture you want here and I can do it for you. You'll still need to do NVFLASH to get it installed on your tab.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] KirMit:
Ok... You're right! I have 2 ways to decide this. Just find any linux based computer right now or ask you to compile boot.img from this firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859884 I've just flashed ;)

I need just a g-tablet logo has been removed or replaced by simple standart nvidia or android logo.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] WickedStyx:
I can send you my one for VEGAn beta 3 with the black tegra+android logo when I get home in about 8 hours. You still need nvflash setup to flash it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] KirMit:
It will be great! Thank you a lot! Nvflash works fine on my win laptop right now.

It seams there are enough people behind nixing the birds for a tetra logo that the development rockstars, that have hooked us up with all the rom candy we have been flashing, would incorperate it into the roms packages. I for one would rather rep Nvidia products than viewsonic. I mean Nvidia actually made part of the gtab where as viewsonic just dropped a turd UI into it and rebranded.

Bricked G-Tab and looking for help - Sent PM already

Tried to update the boot logo and now tablet does not load beyond the birds.

What I did

1. Downloadws Nvidia Tegra 2 SDK from http://tegradeveloper.nvidia.com/tegra/downloads

2. Downloaded the boot.img for my VEGAn5.1 and copied to the install directory (renaming existing first)

3. From CMD

nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 10 boot.img

That did not seem to do anything so after 5 minutes I did CTRL+C

4. Rebooted Tab and determined everything was OK

5. (Here is where I got creative/stupid) I ran the same command but added --go to end

Follow this walkthrough for returning your gTablet back to stock, partitions and all. Make sure you follow it to a "T"

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

This will get you back to stock. Once the tablet reboots, you'll be back there without a custom recovery and you'll have to put CWM back on - that is found here

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

The reason you had issues, is you have "reversed partitions" which about 1/2 the people out there have. So the partition you flashed the bootimage to was incorrect.
