[Nexus S General] germanh:
Does anyone know if its possible to load stock Froyo on Nexus S via clockwork Recovery? Am I correct in assuming any Galaxy S ROM should work?

Need to do some benchmarking...
[Nexus S General] Chinpokomon:
I don't believe you're not going to be able to do that. There are enough differences between the Galaxy S devices alone that it is difficult to mix them, and there are even more differences between a Galaxy S and the Nexus S. You are probably going to end up with a brick if you go any further.

That said, if someone were to try and back port the drivers and whatnot, it might be possible, but it is probably easier bringing the Galaxy S devices forward to 2.3.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Chin is right, don't do this to yourself. None of the SGS series phones can have ROMs ported between them without alteration.
[Nexus S General] rashad1:
You need a ROM that is compatible with the hardware and has the proper drivers. So you would have to make your own custom Froyo stock ROM. None are compatible at the moment.
[G Tablet General] br4d5:
Howdy,

I just received a G Tab for an early Christmas present. Obviously finding this forum has been amazing, and I'm very excited for the potential in this tablet.

This is the first tab I've ever had, but absolutely love my Droid Incredible, so hoping for some similar functionality.

I've read a lot of info on the forums here about "rooting" and "modding" - both pretty uncomfortable terms for me, never having tried this before (but I am fairly technical-minded).

Reading on the VS site last night, it looks as though they are allowing people to boot direct to Android OS in the big patch on Friday 12/24. Should I wait for this patch before changing any of the stock stuff?

I do hate not getting updates to my contacts and calendars from my work's Exchange, but could live with it for a couple of days if it might be fixed.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

PS - beware that if you tell me I will still need to make changes then I might ask stupid questions about where to look for instructions for that. ?=^)
[G Tablet General] brew1brew:
This is really a personal thing in my opinion. If you sort of like the TNT UI and just want the option go into the stock android launcher, then maybe just wait. But if you don't care about the TNT UI and want to have the full market then I would suggest TNT light 3.0.0 or maybe wait a few days and install 3.1.0.

I personally like ADW launcher so I put TNT light 3.0 + ADW on my wifes. It runs great!

[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Well, the good news is that you don't really need to do anything to "root" this tablet. If you install a custom ROM, it will already be rooted for you. If you want Exchange server sync working, I am fairly certain it won't be in the official update this week based on what I saw in this thread about the as-yet-unreleased 3338 update, which some folks found for download on Tap N Tap's update server: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882521&page=3

The usual response here on the forums is to go to the Guide thread if you want to install TNT Lite, which is probably the best custom ROM to start out with: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

TNT Lite is similar to the stock software, but with some of the annoying user interface stuff stripped out, and stock android versions of some of the apps that work better than the versions shipped with the stock software. I believe exchange server sync should work as well with TNT Lite as with any Android device.

But I've not personally used Exchange server in quite some time, and haven't used the Exchange sync stuff with my G Tablet at all, so I'm not the expert on that topic.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Akutsito:
So, ive got this Headset from the X10 Mini Pro, which worked wonders on that device, right now ive switched from the X10 to the P500 and kept the headset, thinking it would work wonders too, little did i know, it acts quite weirdly...

The audio in them kind of works, but its not 100%, its similar to when you have your headphones not plugged all the way down, weird thing is, when you press the ansewer button, the sound gets 100% clear...

Anyone has any idea why this happens?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] serazabac:
this happens to my sony ericsson headset too.. i guess its just how theyre built. im guessing its a mono and stereo compatibility issue. you can read it from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gnodeb:
I was wondering how standard is "standard" 3.5 jack. Does "standard" means I can use any stereo headphones but still have to find compatible headset (stereo headphones + mic + one button).

From these posts I can assume that LG is not compatible with Sony. What about Nokia or iPhone? How many different implementation are there?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Winston877:
iphone 3G will work, 3Gs will not. there's various adapters that are available, i'v ordered one that's supposed to work for all iphone headsets, and it's got a little plastic android on it, lol! cute, but i'll see how it works. if you want to find one, just google android headset adapter. i just ordered the adapter today, i'll post later and let you know how it works. so as of right now, most headsets with just a mic and answer button should work. skullcandy ink'd is one pair that i recommend. they run about $30 CND, and they have good sound. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] derik123derik123:
I know this has been an issue with others.. but I was wondering if there was a way to alphabetize apps inside folders?

Currently, whenever you add an app into a folder, it goes to bottom of the list.

I was wondering if there was a way to alphabetize the apps?

Thanks.

i think they have but im not the one that wants to do it, i cant cuz my other evo got rooted with Simple root so i didnt have to do it the long Way but i dont have that phone anymore. Any takers?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingViper:
All you need to do is follow the link ICEReaction posted. It's very straightforward.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayveno:
just downgrade using a stock RUU then use old root methods
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roachclip911:
im VERY noob wen it comes to cmd, shell cd to etc. and all that i guess the hard part is the Command prompt i can open but wen changing or anything i get path not found etc
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leenypost:
This will not work. If your phone is new and came with hboot 2.02 or 2.10 it is a no go. If you have an older EVO you can flash a rom with a lower SW version and then use an RUU that matches that version if you like and then use unrevoked to root... But that's way more work to then get back up to 3.70 than just following the supplied thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] edo_xda:
My VF Magic 32B was rooted with universal androot when it was running 1.6.

Since then I installed the VF 2.2.1 official OTA update.

I lost root access.

I tried the latest androot, SuperOneClick v1.5.5, VISIONary

all failed.

The Superuser app is no longer able to give root permission

can't be uninstalled

I did my searches before posting, could not find a link to a success,

possibly because the 2.2.1 official update is very new.

any hints?

ETA to add: SuperOneClick hangs on the 2nd run of RATC
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] edo_xda:
I managed to root my VF Magic 32B after the 2.2.1 OTA update

.. steps as follow :

running ubuntu 10.10

updating the adb included in SuperOneClick1.5.5

to the adb that comes with SDK r08

pushed su and busybox manually then

did these steps

I copied su and busybox to /system/bin

then installed SuperUser from another adb terminal

[Droid X General] kodakeos:
Im trying to use the 3G hotspot, and GPS2BT to allow my tablet to access maps with data and GPS from my droid X.

But everytime I turn on the hotspot it shuts down BT, and if I re-enable it, the BT turns off 3g hotspot.

Is it possible to use both, if not, why? To much power draw using 3 radios??
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
You cannot use 3G + WiFi + Bluetooth simultaneously. Something to do with radio and antenna sharing, I believe.

-----

Sent from my Droid X. Powered by Big Red, customized by NATF.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
The reason it wont work I believe is a result of verizon's setup. When you turn on the hotspot app, it pulls your data connection and changes your dun settings to allow the wireless adaptor to broadcast a wireless signal. You are no longer receiving data as if you were trying to.access information though an application.

I think natf is right. When you toggle bluetooth, I think it kills any other "radio" connectivity.
[Droid X General] Morkai Almandragon:
try making a call on a BT headset with wifi enabled, then go to a web page... its ... interesting.
[Droid X General] kodakeos:
Ah ok - Damn. I was hoping to share my wifi with my android and then use BT to get GPS.

Guess its one or the other.

I dont think i can do BT PAN + any other bt service can you? then i could do both with BT..
[Droid X General] silversonic1:
I was under the impression that you can't call and surf at the same time with Verizon.
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
You can surf when WiFi is connected. Although I could do both over 1x with my Touch Pro2.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jonagpa:
Gameloft is known for makin some of the best games for iPhone/ipad. Currently they do not put their games on the market because of pirating issues, but they do offer their games on their online store (ussualy 4.99). For the next 24hrs they are giving away one of them for free. Link toandroid central . I was able to download it to my fascinate but have not done so for the g tab.

If you try to follow the link provided by androidcentral it will take you to their site but the page is in desktop format witch wont give you le link to the download, some how the site is able to recognize what phone you have and based on that it tells you that the game is compatible with your phone or not and if it does not recognize what phone you have it designates your phone as unknown. I have tried several browsers in mobile and in android view with no luck. Since i have a android phone i decided copy the URL of the page that recognized my phone and opening it from the g tab, no luck it still tells me that my device is unknown.

So I emailed customer suport and after many emails back and forth the told me to select my device and once select to add this to the url &igagame=hdbk

surprisingly this actually worked and I was able to download the nexus one verison of the game. the game crashes as soon as you try to open it. I tried different verisons of the game but the url trick stoped working and I was unable to make the page recognize my phone. I also asked him if the game was compatible with the g tab and he said that the only tablet they support is the galaxy tab. So I tried the selecting that as my device and was able to make the page load, however it seemed that hero of sparta was listed for 4.99. I email customer support and they verify that the promo is not for the galaxy tab version.

Anyone want to give this a try before time runs out?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] digitalman2112:
Downloaded to my Nexus One, then sideloaded on gTablet (vegan b3). Launching the game causes immediate "application has stopped unexpectedly" message. Given that they appear to package the game by device, I was skeptical it would work, but wanted to give it a shot anyway.

[Nexus S General] elmo61:
Having a issue with the voice actions, I can do the generall "call", "navigate to" "direction to" and "map of" but if i try a text message, or "listen on [music/artist]" it doesn't seem to work

Often it will pick up the words correctly but it seems as if my phone doesnt wanna notice that its a action when i say "listen to"

is there somewhere you need to turn on certain commands? or need to have certain music etc?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Are you using the proper syntax?

To send a text message to you I would say "Send text to elmo hi elmo (comma) how are you (question mark).

Works every time for me.

You shouldn't have to turn anything on, but you could check the settings for the service in the Settings, Voice Input & Output section.
[Nexus S General] elmo61:
yep ive tried it and it perfectly reckonises what ive said and yet still doesnt turn "listen to" into a command and just reads it as a google search!
[Nexus S General] elmo61:
if you go to voice command and then hit the "Help" button. it will take you toa place where you can choose to "watch a video" it also lists types of commands

i only have

"navigate to"

"directions to"

"map of"

"Call"

do you guys have more then this???
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Yes, quite a few more...

send text

listen to

navigate to

call

send mail

set alarm

map of

go to

note to self (one of my favorites!)

directions to

web search

Are you in the US?

Go to the market and download the Voice Search app again. Yours sounds corrupted. Here's an appbrain link to it: http://www.appbrain.com/app/voice-search/com.google.android.voicesearch

I have a rooted deodexed phone and I keep getting the notification to update to 2.3.340 which I don't want to do. My phone runs flawlessly as it is and I don't want to change it. How do I stop the notification from asking me every hour if I want to update now or later?

Thanks
[Droid X General] catmanzrt:
I take it there is no choice except do the update or be nagged by the phone every hour saying an update needs to be installed. If the update fails will it ask to update again? If not could I just force a failure to stop it from nagging me?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I just used root explorer to delete the update from /cache and I have/n't had any issues. I'm still on2.3.15

If you don't have ro ot explorer, you could try this:

1) connect your x to your computer so it is recognized by adb

2) type adb shell (press enter)

3) type su (press enter)

4) type cd /cache (press enter),. It may be \cache, i can't remember which is correct off the to of my head.

5) type ls (press enter)

6) look for two files that will have 2.3.40 in their name.

7) type rm "the full filename" (press enter)

8) repeat step 7 for the 2nd file.

Make sure to take a backup of your phone using clockwork before attempting this.

Hope this helps!

Just curious to know if using LP/AWD launchers instead of the stock 2.3 home screens causes any hiccups/lags? Or does it run even better?

How many of you have opted to use LP/AWD, instead of stock?
[Nexus S General] Highland3r:
Using launcher pro at the mo without any issues. Nice and smooth.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I'm using launcher pro. It's just as smooth as the stock launcher, and I prefer the 4 dock shortcuts to the the 2 in the stock.

There is an issue with the 3D app drawer, it doesn't work properly, so I had to turn off that feature. I'm sure the dev will update for Gingerbread soon enough. 3D drawer is cool, but not a deal breaker for me.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
LauncherPro Plus always.
[Nexus S General] kolyan:

[Nexus S General] Poseidon20:
No problems for me. I prefer the options of launcher pro.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Launcher Pro Plus for the awesome Widgets, five column launcher, and the four app dock bar. I also like the sliding additional docks more than ADWs flip up one.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Do you guys using Launcher Pro have the 3D app drawer bug? (Basically you can't slow scroll, only flick scroll).
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Yea, there's a bug, you'll have to wait til the dev updates it if you want to use the 3d drawer. Personally, I use the regular drawer. LauncherPro Plus all the way, great app.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Yes, that's what I'm doing. I posted a bug report on the dev's website several days ago, but no response from him yet. I'm patient, though.

When people were reporting here "using launcher pro with no problems" I thought they might have meant including the 3D app drawer. ;)
[Nexus S General] WilliamStern:
All my phones ever get is Launcher Pro Plus!
[Nexus S General] ronnyzilker:
LauncherPro Plus.....
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I was really hoping to remain stock Android, but I've caved and switched over to AWD. Gingerbread is chalk full of glitches - for example, sometimes when attempting to move icon apps on home screens, they'll automatically snap back into place, and/or sometimes disappear altogether without having gone anywhere near the trash can. AWD does not have this problem whatsoever. There are a slew of other odd glitches with GB. I hope 2.3.2 addresses some of these bugs.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
I made the switch to ADW EX from LPP. I like how ADW handles the icon labels more, and the transition effects are sweet.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
I'm probably going with Launcher Pro, but Santa FedEx hasn't shown up yet with my new toy.

I got used to LP very quickly, after being rudely hit about the head with that wonderful TouchWiz. I might try out the stock launcher just for s&g, but I suspect I will need more than 5 home screens. I haven't found any reason to go for LP Pro yet.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I use ADW, may upgrade to ADW EX once it's got a bit more version history to prove it's worth the cash. I'm not zealously defensive of any particular launcher, though. Some people like stock, some people like Launcher Pro, some people like ADW, et cetera.

If you're not totally happy with what came on your phone, shop around! Try out some alternatives and find one that you enjoy using. Since we're talking entirely about UI here, you, the user, are the one in the best position to make the choice. ADW.Launcher and Launcher Pro are both free. Their paid versions add features, but you should be able to tell whether you like them or not from the free ones. It's not really important what other people use, what you should use is the one you like.
