Okay this is most likely a noob question but do I really have to hold the alt key the entire time to type numbers or is there another way kind of like a caps lock but for the alt key ? Holding it while typing numbers is a pain in the butt lol . Ty

Hit it two times in a row and it will lock into "alt" then hit it once to get out.

Custom keys D-Pad

Hi!

I would like to know, if it's possible to make the custom keys act like directional keys??

Is there a way to assign "move cursor left" to the 1.custom key, and "right" to the 2. ....and maybe SHIFT+1.custom is "cursor up" , SHIFT+2.custom is "cursor down"???

I think it would be very useful, because i don't need any app to launch one-click, but the directional pad is missing! The touchpad is great, but not the best for me

There is an app to button remap. Either use the search,... or there is a link in the 1st post of the MIUI thread in the Development section

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wingzfan:
all you gotta do is load the apk on the sd card and install with a file explorer. No need for a zip
[Captivate General] rip93:
Ok. So I was going to flash back to stock and it froze during the install. After I pulled the batterybi get nothing but a black screen. Not even a charging icon when plugged in. I have bricked it before but always had something come up on the screen and was able to unbrick. Long story short the home button was giving me issues anyway so I shipped it to samsung. What do you guys think? I a, sure they will be able to get into some sort of diagnostics mode and see I have been jacking with roms???? Do you think they will charge me for a new motherboard? Oh well just needed to share please don't flame:). It should be at the repair center Friday. I will let you knownthe progress.
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
They should be able to tell that you were flashing ROMs on the phone. I've read stories of phones being replaced under warranty for no-charge at first, and then customers getting like a $500 on their cell bill a few months later after Samsung figured out the phones bricked during a ROM flash.
[Captivate General] rip93:
500? Seriously? Or are you just screwing with the newb:confused: don't mind paying a 100 or so, but 500 is a bit steep.
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
MSRP/No commitment pricing is $500.
[Captivate General] evoic:
I find it pretty hard to believe that a stealth charge of $500 would show up months after the fact.

There should always be the option to decline the service due to a charge and it should be stated explicitly before a single dollar changes hands.

I'd like to see some sort of proof or reference to someone getting charged like that, otherwise......screenshot or it didn't happen. ;)
[Captivate General] z28james:
I'll be damned if im going to search through the hundreds of "i bricked my captivate" threads for when I remember reading about that but i've seen it mentioned a few times.

Honestly though, i just pay the $5 a month for the insurance. I figure if I am jacking with flashing the phone and I brick it, $125 is a small price to pay to replace it. Not to mention, its my fault, not samsungs.:D
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
If I had time, I'd dig up those references for you. I guess my point is this, if you try to make a warranty claim on a bricked phone deliberately withholding some of the facts as to why it was bricked in the first place, you are potentially leaving the door open for ATT to stick you with the bill. By all means this isn't something that's going to happen every time, but I'd just like to share that the possibility is out there...that's all!
[Captivate General] rip93:
Never asked for a replacement, but your right I didn't tell all the truth:( Don't mind them billing me, I just want the flakey home button fixed. If it's excess of 150 I will probably just have them scrap it and ask them to bill me for the shipping cost they incurred I would gladly pay more if I knew I would have a working gps:cool: but still have my trusty backup iPhone 4. By the way I payed full unsubsidized price for the phone. They received it already I will let you know how it unfolds.
[Captivate General] psufan5:
I returned my phone today and they gave me a new one. I just got the phone off ebay so there is no way they can bill me for 500 bucks. I told the guy this and he took it back saying it was under warranty.

They cant just stealth charge you 500 bucks. Especially when they dont ask you at the counter when you returned the phone.
[Captivate General] rip93:
Well its fixed and has been shipped. Hats off to samsung for the quick turnaround. Shipped it to them Wednesday and it was repaired and returned Saturday. I should have it Monday or Tuesday. Maybe the fixed the GPS:)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elementix:
So just install ROM manager, install the recovery and download a rom like CM 6.1 and flash it. Make sure you backup though. Try looking on youtube. That'll probably help you out more.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
Hi folks.

Having some problems everytime I try to boot in recovery mode or try to install a ROM using ROM Manager.

when my phone boots into manual recovery mode, I eventually get this message.

E: can't open /cache/update.zip

(bad)

Installation Aborted

I've made sure I have my update.zip in the root of my internal sd. In manual recovery mode, I even selected the "reinstall packages" option and it would execute just fine and then reboot my phone.

So I'm stuck scratching my head as to why I get the error message above and can't access the additional menu items in the manual recovery mode.

Help please as I am a noob to this hacking stuff.

THanks everyone!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
after you reinstall packages and it reboots, do you select reinstall packages again? you should because it takes 2 times to get into clockworkmod
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
When I boot into manual recovery mode and select reinstall packages, the phone reboots and turns on...it doesn't go back to the <2e> recovery menu. Does that sound right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
no it doesnt

what rom are you currently running?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1

did you use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953 to root?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
Yes...I rooted using z4 root.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
There's your problem. Your new file should NOT be named update.zip. The update.zip package MUST be the one for CWM. Its this update.zip that is used when you choose reinstall package and then you get into 2e recovery mode.

Name your file something different so it won't interfere with the update.zip of CWM on your sd root.

If you deleted that CMW update.zip file just return in CMW and reinstall the Recovery. It will push the update.zip again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
Not sure I completely understand.

to give clearer picture, here is where my update.zip file is located.

/sdcard (folder)

within the /sdcard folder are the following:

/Android

/clockworkmod

/DCIM

/download

/layar

/media

/sd

/tmp

...and finally, my update.zip file

so I'm assuming the update.zip is in its proper location within the /sdcard folder

With the file there, I reboot into manual recover and select reinstall packages...it executes and the phone boots up and turns on. It doesn't return me to the manual recovery mode again and I'm assuming it is during the return to the manual recovery mode where I can access additional menu items such as install from SD.

So I'm assuming this update.zip file I have now is the one for CWM. Thoughts?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
at what point did you FLASH clockwork recovery manager? are you sure that update.zip file thats on there isnt for something else like the root?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
to be honest, at this point I'm not entirely sure. the update.zip could be for the root.

what do you mean by flash clockwork recovery manager...when I go into ROM Manager, under the Recovery heading I see the following options.

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2)

Reboot into Recovery
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
-First delete every update.zip you have in /sdcard

-Return in ClockworkMod and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (yes it will reinstall the recovery, thus copying the right update.zip onto the /sdcard).

-Now rename your .zip you were trying to install (ie. my_new_file.zip)

-Copy it in /sdcard

-Reboot into Recovery and select Reinstall Package (if it goes directly into the recovery menu even better)

-Now you should be in the CWM Recovery.

-Select the "install zip from sdcard"

-Select your "my_new_file.zip" to flash it.

-Reboot in normal mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
ok...so I went into ROM Manager application and tapped on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

A status bar displayed and it completed like in a second or 2. Then I went into my /sdcard directory and there is no update.zip file there. Doesn't seem like it is copying the update.zip file into the directory.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
No biggy, just means the recovery is correctly installed.

Just follow the procedure and try it like it is and see if you get a error.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
flashing clockwordmod recovery doesn't install an update.zip on your sd card (1 click roots do).

All flashing CWM recovery does is install clockwork recovery in place of standard recovery mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
ok...so I've deleted the update.zip file from the /sdcard directory.

went into ROM Manager and clicked on Flash ClockworkMode Recovery

Rebooted my phone and got to the <2e> screen. I click on reinstall packages and now it gives me an error message that the update.zip cannot be found.

So then I used z4 root to unroot. I then rooted my phone again and found that it didn't place an update.zip in the /sdcard directory. So it appears without the update.zip in the /sdcard directory I cannot reinstall packages. But if I put the update.zip file back into the /sdcard directory, I can reinstall packages, but then I'm back to the same issue again....feels like a never ending loop.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
ok...finally got things to work. Looks like I had the wrong update.zip file in my /sdcard.

I searched the forums and found the correct one that now allowed me to reinstall packages twice and take me to the full recovery menu.

for others that may need the update file, it is located here:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmason92:
If you downloaded with your phone right after rooting, make sure you delete the update from the general sd card folder and move the update from your download folder to the general sd card folder. I had flashed with odin and rom manager last night and i had to install it that way due to fact clockwork has been down.

This live wallpaper uses a specified directory/folder, and picks a random static wallpaper to each one of the home screens.

You can set how often all static wallpapers are changed automatically (1,2.. hours), you can set a type of transition (out of 10 different ones) going from a screen to a screen, and you can double click on an empty space to force changing to a random set of static wallpapers to all home screens. You can also set specific static wallpapers to specific home screens individually.

One big advantage of this live wallpaper is that it uses very little cpu. It only changes which static wallpaper is displayed in which home screen.

Combined with the free "Backgrounds" app, it allows you to set multiple static wallpapers and randomize them for each home screen, with your own choice of many thousands of static wallpapers. Other, more subtle options for changing wallpapers are also available.

Search for "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" and "Backgrounds" in the Market!

So what is a safe temp for the battery to be running when you overclock the x. I think I red somewhere that the battery can handle up to 65 degrees c. Also does the x have the cpu temp monitoring probe? I thought I heard that the x doesn't?
[Droid X General] Joe92T:
Highest mines been was 104° Farenheit while overclocking to 1.45... Usually its around 89° F
[Droid X General] crxin:
Wow ok so temps that high are acceptable? I was a little worried when mine was running around the low 40's. Seems that the battery door gets pretty warm around that temp.
[Droid X General] crxin:
What are you using to overclock? Normal operation on my x without being overclocked, under load of course like streaming music and video, I see temps around 38 celsius.
[Droid X General] z06mike:
Acceptable?? Sort of. Just because the phone CAN run at that high of a temperature does not mean it should be run for extended periods of time. Excessive heat is bad for any type of electronics. If you are OC'ing to the max, I would try lowering it a bit to see if it works good and the phone does not heat up so much.

Hello all... Well, I actually dropped my g-tab this afternoon and was very releived to find that all was working afterward. I dropped it onto a carpeted office floor (office carpet).... so I thought...

Then tonight, I went into the camera app and found that the camera lens must have been jarred by the fall, and is no longer centered in the little circle opening. Seems to be working fine, just offset and not capturing a full picture as it should.

I looked through the tablet disassembly thread, but it didn't really get to the camera part.

I guess I looking for advise and reccomendations on what I should do. Should I open it up and try to fix it myself (if it shifted up... I should be able to shift it back....right?????), or should I re-flash it to stock and try to get an exchange?

What do you think?

Thanks,

John
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You'll probably need to go farther than I did, with disassembly. Not just taking off the back, but also removing the mainboard to get to the camera. You might even need to remove the LCD panel, but not certain.
[G Tablet General] digger44:
Thanks Roebeet. I'm kinda leery about doing this while I'm still within my 30 day Sears return/exchange window.

I've now pretty much resigned myself to backing up what I have on TNTLite 2.2, restoring my CWM backup from right after the 1st OTA update, and exchanging it for another g-tab...

[G Tablet General] mnm101:
Do you really think sear's sales rep would really check/know what rom you're sporting or check for root?

I'm going today to replace my g tab, I noticed my camera is inverted or mounted wrong. I switch to portrait mode in fring and my image is 180 degrees off, yahoo 90 degrees on lanscape. Running TnT lite 3.1... I'm assuming it's a hardware issue but I'm not too sure.

But I wont be wasting time reverting back to stock.

Are you aware how to sbf your phone? Best way to get rid of everything in my opinion

[Droid X General] anom69:
kinda stuck atm... got a few files i downloaded, not sure where to go from here
[Droid X General] anom69:
just used RSD LITE and the latest SBF to reload my phone.. and i still have root and clockwork.. lol
[Droid X General] deadpixell:
You must not have done it properly. Before you flash your phone, in clockword mod makes sure to do a factory reset and also wipe cache. You can find the sbf from mydroidworld
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
Loading the SBF by itself will not unroot your phone. After that process completes, power off the phone and enter Motorola's recovery by holding Home while turning the phone. Hold Home + Power until the Motorola logo comes up, then release Power and keep holding Home. Once you get a folder icon with an "!". Press the Search button, and do a factory reset/format cache. Once the phone comes back up, all of your data, and more importantly the root, will be gone.

-Edited to correct the key combination needed-
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I am pretty certain the SBF files for .320 and the .340 Patch are already rooted.

Factory reset won't take that away.

I Don't think a 'True' SBF for .340 has been released (and likely won't be).
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
The files released by TBH are not rooted. I've used them several times, and I always had to run z4root to regain root access afterwards.
