[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
As far as a ROM goes, someone would have to develop a port for use on the G2. It's certainly possible but probably not likely.

If you just want to make it look and behave like the X, there are home replacement apps on the market with more customizable options than the stock launcher. I use ADW Launcher, myself.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProbablyHittingOnYou:
How do I use these launchers
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
Once it's downloaded and you press your home button, it will ask you which program you want to use to complete the action complete with an option to pick it as the default.

If you want to switch back and forth, there's an app called Home Switcher available on the market. I don't really use it since I know which launcher I prefer and just stick with it.

I like ADW but Launcher Pro is a popular choice.

Try a market search for Droid X theme and see if one of the luanchers already has a skin/theme to suit your needs. Otherwise, I think customizing it personally is the most fun.

Hi there,

i downloaded the flash beta install from the Viewsonic favorites website and it works pretty good except i can't get hulu to work - any ideas?

My gtab is totally stock.

[G Tablet General] Bit Banger:
I think hulu is disabled for mobile devices unless U pay4. I tried a workaround but it crashed alot. Individual providers like trutv work ok.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
The version of flash that works on our tabs isn't supported by Hulu. There is a work around posted on a thread here but I could never get it to work consistantly. The version of flash that is supposed to be released in Jan will probably fix this issue.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Don't be so sure that it will be fixed. Hulu WANTS to block mobile devices, and our tab is considered a mobile device. Hulu reads the version of flash you are using and either enables or blocks the video based on that. It's probably safe to assume you will never get Hulu on your tab.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Then screw Hulu...They have a paid site that I will never pay for then. The mobile market is getting bigger so someone else will come along and get my money.
[G Tablet General] jdnyc:
There is a fairly easy work around. Search the forum an you can get hulu up and running.
[G Tablet General] catttman:
look for the fixed flash player ... remove the old one , reinstall the fixed adobe flash hulu plays fine ... true
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipottinger:
I have Root Explorer installed and it says that it has root access and that the mount is read/write yet I am unable to permanently delete or add files to the root/system directory.

I was hoping to replace the current system/media/video/shutdown directory with one of my own and add a bootanimation.zip file to system/media but although the delete/copy/move commands execute without error, no changes actually occur.

I'm so frustrated and have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

[Epic 4G Themes] leatherneck6017:
So I created this simple little boot animation to load on my wife's Epic and listen to her screams (assuming she would notice).

She didn't catch it the first time, but the next day when she rebooted I got a frantic phone call demanding to know if what she saw on the screen was true. I guess she didn't think to check Root Explorer after it loaded....mauahahaha

Anyway, if anyone wants it let me know and I'll create a flashable zip.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] artisticcheese:
I use launcher pro and can not figure out number columns and rows for Widgets to looks correct on screen (aspect ratio-wise).

Any pointers or maybe different launcher?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jonagpa:
I also use launcher pro and was having the same issues. This is what worked for me and you might not agree with me.

Ok first I realized that I did not what to use my tablet in portrait view, Why? because I feel like is too long and there would be a lot of space between apps. Now if you disagree with me you might want to stop rearing now. Once I decided I was going to use the tab on landscape mode only I waited till it was in portrait mode, then went to Launcher pro preferences->behavior settings-> and unchecked auto rotation. This will keep the home screen in landscape mode. Then I tried several combinations of columns and rows, my favorite is 8 columns by 6 rows. You can set this by going to Launcher pro preferences-> homescreen settings-> and set the number of rows/columns. this only changes your homescreen, all apps still rotate and work as normal. I will post my homescreen once i figure out how to take a screenshot, drocap2 is not working for some reason.

Let me know what you think.

[Galaxy Tab General] cbb77:
Have not had any success in connecting to gameloft. Each time it tells me no games available. I believe others have been able to purchase games. I have a US At&t tab. Is this not supported yet or am i doing something wrong?
[Galaxy Tab General] Radical-J:
I got Asphalt HD, Sandstorm, Dungeon Hunter, Hero of Sparta and Gangstar from gameloft.com not the market on my Sprint Galaxy tab--have no idea.
[Galaxy Tab General] caveman999:
The reason there aren't any apps available from the gameloft website for download on the AT&T tab is because AT&T doesn't allow sideloading of apps that aren't from the android market. Therefore gameloft doesn't have a section for the ATT galaxy tab because it would be misleading to their customers.

I haven't tried downloading the version for the T-Mobile tab, but I suspect it would work since the hardware on those tabs is almost exactly the same. To sideload apps, I have read about a program called "sideload wonder machine" that is supposed to let you put non market apps onto ATT devices, however I have not tried this either.

Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

EDIT: Here is a link talking about the sideload wonder machine: www .androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
[Galaxy Tab General] cbb77:
Well that stinks. Any way to get around that? Tried SuperOneClick as it has an option to enable non-market apps but that doesn't seem to help.

I've read about Sideload Wonder machine, problem is you have to have the program you want to load. In this case, I can't even get to Gameloft to get a copy of the game, so I have nothing to load. Stinks!
[Galaxy Tab General] caveman999:
Are you trying to download the gameloft app from your tab or your computer? Because you should be able to purchase the game from gameloft.com and then use the sideload wonder machine app on your computer to transfer the game onto your tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] cbb77:
I was trying to purchase directly from the Tab as I thought that was the only way you could buy them. Last night I did discover that you can indeed buy them from your desktop, however it asks you what carrier your on??? I was going to try it but backed out. Could there be a chance the game is coded for a specific model and won't work on my ATT tab? I guess I could try as it's only $5 but just wanted to be sure it would work.
[Galaxy Tab General] caveman999:
I guess it is possible that gameloft specially coded the game for each tab, but I kind of doubt it. In the case with Apple products (I know it isn't the exact same case, but still similar) one game file (.ipa) will work with an iPhone 4 or an iPod Touch 2nd generation. Considering how similar the hardware and software is between the AT&T and T-Mobile tabs, I would think that if you select the T-Mobile version that it would work. I won't be able to try this myself until tomorrow evening/night, unfortunately. If you don't wish to try it, I will post back with my results.
[Galaxy Tab General] cbb77:
Well didn't work for me. Looks like you can only download via sms message link. Unfortunately it wasn't clear (not to me anyway) and I entered in my home phone number as I thought that was what was required to validate my credit card number. Thus no way now for me to change it and at least attempt to send to my Tab. That would probably fail as well, so I am SOL.

Edit: Spoke to soon!! I received an email verifying my purchase and low and behold it contained a link that I could download the game to my PC. Installed it fine with Sideload Wonder Machine. Sweet!!
[Galaxy Tab General] caveman999:
Good news! Did you download the T-Mobile version of the app? And it's running smooth on your tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] cbb77:
Yes i selected Tmobile as my option. I used the side wonder machine to install and it works perfectly. Its full screen and looks great.

[Galaxy Tab General] LordLugard:
So i have a Tmobile Tab and lost the USB cable and AC adapter, dang things are hard to find in stores. Went to BBY and they have the Samsung OEM USB cable and OEM car charger combo so i got it 'cause my Tab is out of juice.

I have one of those adapter things that can accept a cigarette lighter plug into a wall outlet and everything is charging fine but there's an oddity. While charging, the touchscreen is unresponsive. I push the power button on the side and the lock screen comes on but Tab is not responsive to any touch controls. If i unplug the USB cable, Tab works just fine and i can unlock and get around.

What gives? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] edors:
I think thats just because the cigarette plug doesnt have ground connector so it cant omits any statics.
[Galaxy Tab General] LordLugard:
Hmm, that seems to be plausible. Interesting indeed. So i just have to live with it that way till i can find a regular OEM AC adapter. Annoying thing is every other USB AC adapter i have (and i have lots of them) outputs less than 2Amps, so no charge. The OEM one is hard to find in stores. :mad:

Good one. Thanks.

Isn't flashing to the old superboot causes using the older kernel? I think the kernel is in the boot image so applying an older boot.img kinda loses the whole point of upgrading in the first place. I might be wrong though.

I think your right, which is why i am not going this method for now. I could have sworn I read it patched the boot.img. So there were probably some changes.

- Root (using THIS Method)

- Received OTA notification but no luck in the install. So I manually installed it

- Lost root so I applied Superboot

- Now I have 2.3.1 rooted but no Wifi

Please help. TIA
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
hmm, since you are already on 2.3.1, i'm not sure exactly what is the best way to fix it.

You could try flashing the boot.img in the original post on this thread, then try re-applying the 2.3.1 update, and root manually from koush's thread that you referenced. Don't flash superboot again, that is what messed up your wifi, cause it put you back at the 2.3.0 kernal.

The better option would be to get the the 2.3.1 nandroid backup posted in other thread in this forum, and then do advanced nandroid restore from CWR, and select only boot.img. that should fix your wifi and leave everything else untouched.

edit: here is the thread with the stock 2.3.1 nandroid. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884093 If all the above fails, just wipe and restore this whole nandroid, and start over with your phone :p
[Nexus S Android Development] brmayhem:
Thanks so much for the help.

I believe that what you're having me do involves booting in recovery, however I'm not being able to do that. When I select recovery from the fastboot menu all I get is a non responsive warning logo. I'm a noob when it comes to this and I really appreciate any help I can get.

Nevermind I got in. However I cannot locate boot.img which I placed on the root. Only .zip files are displayed. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to apply the entire nandroid file therefore losing all my current set-up?
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
that's cause you have the stock recovery right now. you need to get clockwork back on it. the easiest way for me to tell you how to do that would be to boot into android, run ROM Manager, and flash the recovery from there (if you reboot back into android, it will be back to stock). After flashing CWR from ROM Manager, click the option to reboot into recovery.. it should boot into CWR. CWR will only be replaced once you boot back into android.

once you are in CWR, you should be able to flash that stock 2.3.1 nandroid's boot.img. don't forget to but the nandroid on your sdcard before booting into CWR, or you will have to reflash CWR.
[Nexus S Android Development] brmayhem:
Worked like a charm! Thanks dude.
[Nexus S Android Development] bblanski:
I did the same thing. Download the 2.3.1 nandroid. Go to advanced restore in cwm recovery and restore boot. Wifi should work..
[Nexus S Android Development] graemegb:
so i re flashed and still dont have wifi. but i need to be on the stock img. i kinda need wifi to download rom manager.
[Nexus S Android Development] k0mpresd:
if you flash this boot.img then upgrade to the ota update via recovery there is no reason that wifi should not work. rooting your phone with a 2.3 img will cause wifi to not work.
