[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
So I have heard people talk about always putting the .zip files onto the root of our SDs. I have always followed this procedure. However, I usually tether my phone to my computer and do it all that way. When I installed NEROv2 a couple days ago, I downloaded the file straight from my phone due to no USB access on work computer. The phone initially did not know where to get a file from and told me it was aborted. But when I chose "install from SD" I was able to go into the /downloads folder and find the .zip in there. From there I chose to install .zip and it seemed to work just fine. I also DL'd JL5 and flashed that onto my phone via the same process with seemingly no issues.

What risks am I taking by not saving directly to the root of SD?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
One that I can think of because it happened to me. I got locked out of my phone. My pin on the lockscreen wouldnt take. I had to reboot into recovery and reflash the ROM I was using. I would save it the SD, if for some reason you get stuck in a boot loop and can only access recovery its there if you need it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You are right that you can install from your download folder, I do this a lot.

I think it's a combination of old practices and tied to the rooting process *MUST be on the root of your sd*

I don't think there is one good reason.... then again, how hard is it to move a file with Root explorer/astro.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rcheewah:
Phone - HTC Touch Pro2

Carrier - AT&T

OS Verison - 5.2.21916 (21916.5.0.93)

Manila Version - 2.5.20191914.0

ROM Version - 11 Nov. 2010

WM Version - 6.5

(This is my main use of the Phone)

I am unable to reply, create and send emails because I can't add anything to the Recipient field ("To"). When I hit "Reply" or "Reply All" , it doesn't put any of the recipients from the email in the "To" fields which makes a problem for sending and replying to emails. I am also unable to create new emails because I can not add any recipient to the "To" field.

Please help or recommend an updated ROM to fix this issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennisfisch:
hey guys, i do have a question.

I was wondering why there are separate kernels for Sense/AOSP roms. Is it not possible to flash sense-kernels onto a non-sense (no pun intended ) based rom?

From a technical point of view (im a coder myself albeit not hugely experienced in the realm of low-level android things) i could image there are some special interfaces for sense which would simply be unused if flashed onto an AOSP rom. How does a sense-kernel differ from a non-sense one?

I have been looking around for this quite a bit but couldn't find anything (the massive amount of posts in generel might have something to do with that )
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @ndroid76:
The only difference I know is in the init.rc, Sense need to load HTC Framework's
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coutts99:
Good question, I've been tempted to try a non-sense kernel on my sense rom :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benee:
If I remember right the sense kernels use a different way to deal with some things (Don't remember it. Long time ago I did something with sense roms/kernels. Think it was Bluetooth or SDCard mounting for PC). The desire CM kernel is a modified nexus kernel to fit the desire.

So maybe your device will boot loop or many things won't work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persko:
Well init.rc is part of the initial ramdisk, not the kernel.

(It is quite easy to unpack a boot.img, modify the initial ramdisk, and repack the boot img)

If Sense really need some settings in the kernel, that are different from what an

AOSP kernel needs, it would be nice if one of the Sense kernel builders would tell

us what it is.

Rooted my Nook Color with Autonooter.. All is working well except I am unable to access the built in 4GB RAM of the Nook. I can't load files to it. I can't save files to it. The device sees the memory and says that its available however i am unable to access it. Please help. ..... (I am speaking of the 4gb built into the device when it ships
[Nook Color General] dahonda:
Check the mount point of the partition.

run "adb shell"

at the # prompt run "mount" it should display the list of mounted partition. Post the output here so people can look and try to identify the issue.

Have you power cycle the NC after rooted. The partition mount mode get reset at boot up, by default the partition you looking for should be writeable.
[Nook Color General] alynch75:
wait now wait ... its suposed ot have 8gb.. it reads as 4gb and its not accessable.. wth.. how to i unroot.. i am taking this thing back

However, yes, they should have been specific - it is an 8GB chip onboard, but some of it is system reserved. It is why you can install 1GB of apps actually. :)
[Nook Color General] alynch75:
Thanks for the response.. However I am still unable to write to the internal storage
[Nook Color General] kingu:
More specific information would be useful. With the sd card removed, can you download a file with the internal browser? Can you download a free book from the B&N website? With it on and the screen unlocked, does it mount as a usb drive and are you able to write to it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bayoubowhunter69:
New to the forum, THX for the welcome......New owner of a Captivate, and so far everything is going smoothly except for one little problem. When I transferred pics and videos to my phone storage the thumbnails for the pics worked, but some of the thumbnails for the videos, didn't show up. Out of 75 videos only 6 shows a thumbnail, all of the clips are mp4. I recently retired a 4 month old Backflip when I saw the Captivate, and this problem was not present on it, it was also running the update to 2.1 Eclair. I have tried to d/l new vids to see if it was a transfer from pc issue, and put in an SD card and transferred the pics and vids to it, and I get the same thing....in the gallery under rn-downloads there is 6 thumbs and the rest are black. I have Realplayer installed, but have uninstalled it, and used the stock video player to see if that was the issue.....same thing. The phone is not rooted YET. Is this a Samsung issue being that I was haven't this problem on the Motorola Backflip. Hopefully someone out there knows an easy fix.

Please help!!!!

Thx in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thabeast:
I have the same problem. I tried everything removing my SD card reinstalled it, ran the media scanner countless times. Copyed all files onto the phone from the SD card. I downloaded an apparently called "just pictures" it does the same thing as the gallery also allows u to Have photobucket and fb pic accounts on it. Really streamlines Everything. Is a quick fix for this stupid gallery issuse.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thabeast:
My bad I just noticed Your only having that problem With videos is it just that or pictures as well? Unfortunately that app I mentioned only handles pictures but I'm sure there are other That handle vidoes or just use the video player to browse cause the gallery cannot serve that purpose.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Yea just noticed an *.avi movie (horrid stuff Universal Soldier Ressurected) isn't showing up in the Gallery. Dunno when it stopped working.

But I have been using My Files or ES File Explorer whenever I wanted to watch something on my phone.... so haven't been paying attention.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thabeast:
I will do the same thing I Just wanted / needed something to be able to watch picture slide shows on. So that was taken care of. Good Thing is there is a lot of options to replace the gallery in the first place.

SOFTWARE UPDATE COMING THIS WEEK

The next GTablet software update is scheduled for release by Friday, December 24, 2010. GTablet Users will be notified of the update automatically while an active WiFi connection is enabled.

(You can also check for updates manually by selecting the Updates icon in the applications menu. Tap the More button at the bottom of the home screen to view the full menu, then tap Updates.)

Please follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the update. Your GTablet should be fully charged before you begin the update process. The download may take anywhere from 1 minute to 1 hour, depending on the WiFi connection speed.

This update features better performance, improved responsiveness, and the ability to toggle between the customizable Tap’n’Tap user interface and the standard Android desktop. Look for additional updates in the future as we continue to enhance the GTablet.

New Gtab owner impressions

Just picked up a Gtablet for myself yesterday. Right now I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this or not.

The good is that I like the size, i don't like the 7" tablets because I think they're too small, the GUI is nice in appearance. But now, the bad. The GUI may have a nice appearance but even with the update it is just way too slow. The screen is ok as long as you're looking at it straight on, but a little angle on it and kiss it goodbye.f

This unit has some nice features, which includes its very affordable price, but it also has a number of downsides and I'm not sure which comes out on top right now.

I'm going to look at ROM options here and decide whether it is worth it to remove their stock OS and GUI and replace it with one of the customer roms available here.

Right now I would say that I'm pretty dissapointed in the way this device works but I like the size of the device and I like the price.

[G Tablet General] goalweiser:
Welcome to our dilemma!

One piece of advice....new Honeycomb tablets won't be out til March supposedly. I think most of us here will upgrade to something else shortly thereafter.

Until then, you can use this tablet as set up for your final purchase. Get your apps set up in Appbrain. Learn how to back up things. Use this as your experiment tablet and have some fun. Just playing with this tablet convinced me not to buy an iPad. I spent time playing with the gTab and my wife's iPad...even with the viewing angles, this tab wins hands down with roms not burdened by horrible or restrictive UI.

Yes...$400 is a lot to spend on a toy but you'll learn a lot in the process and keep yourself from bricking your ultimate device in the future. Plus you could always pass this on to kiddos or someone you know could use it afterwards.

I'll be giving this one to my dad if or when I decide to upgrade. With a modified Honeycomb rom, you should be able to fetch a decent amount for the gTab and use it for an upgrade if you desire.

The best part...NO CONTRACT and great price. Can't say that about any other tablet we know coming or already on the market.

Haven't heard anything much about what was in this update though? I'm looking forward to the end of January update though.
[G Tablet General] maxxgraphix:
Would have to disagree.

iPad has a better screen and responds smoother. There are less bugs and errors. Most everything works on the iPad except flash websites.

So far comparing the two, I shouldn't have bothered to buy a gtab yet. Perhaps when the modr's get a couple more months to beat on it, it will become more competitive with the iPad.

There are many advantages of the gtab, however the overall experience is lacking even with tnt lite. It just needs more time.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Would have to disagree.

The IPad is closed and for the most part you will have to buy the next generation of IPad for improvements. The Gtab is open and it's only gonna improve with time. And Flash is a big deal for most people as it lessens the browsing "experience" without it.

Before I become an apple hater, I don't like Motoroloa because of the locked bootloader. When I buy a piece of hardware I should be able to install what I want, not what some company chooses to let me have.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yeah, have to beat on the iPad a bit. It has the better screen so big kudos for that. But the lock down just kills me. No Flash, no USB, no microSD, iTunes required, etc. It's just too limiting for me, even if it "just works".

Here's another question -- do Xvid AVI's even work on the iPad as-is? On the GTab, it's just drag and drop. Yeah they aren't high-def but a lot of us still use them as their primary source of video. In my case, I converted all my DVD's to Xvid AVI's awhile back.
[G Tablet General] Hannigan174:
Roebeet is completely right. His, rothnic, gojimi, and others have turned this piece of garbage into a real power device. Yes, the display angles stink, but it is only me looking at it, so why would I look at it off angle? Flash, drag and drop useability, complete customizability, higher resolution, lower price... I am sure there are more reasons I didn't mention, but those technical reasons combined with this Dev community make the g tablet a real winner.

BTW if you are not Modding your gtab then you have basically wasted your money.
[G Tablet General] copperdawgnc:
I remember when limited viewing angles were sold as a plus for privacy when sitting on a plane etc!
[G Tablet General] mhart032:
I have an ipad as well as my gtablet. Yes xvid plays via the vlc app yes its smoother and more stable but its locked down even jailbroken you can only do so much. I don't like that there are no addons like USB or microsd I like my tab better. I can do more with it. Wish it has GPS like my ipad I really like tomtom on a 10" screen and I like the 3g service. But at a $750 bucks for all the bells and whistles it still can't do what I want it to. I have an iPhone 4 aswell and I can do the same with my iPhone.

[G Tablet General] Mike Mortazavi:
If you like GPs you might want to get tomtom mini bluetooth GPS. then using BTGPS app from googooandroid and enabling Mock you can use GPS features. It's working with Google Maps and Navigation. I have also installed Sprint Navigation from my momment on the GTab and it is working fine with mocked tomtom.

I got tomtom from amazon:

[G Tablet General] seesser:
Nice but I am cheep so I go with the gps built in to my android phone and link it with the Bluetooth GPS app. It allows my phone to link to the gtab and share the gps. You still need the above mentioned app for the g tab but this will save you a bit of cash.
[G Tablet General] gunsjoe:
I bought the GF the ipad and other mac products. when she took a trip to China she took her iphone and MB pro. The ipad was left behind.

So I have her ipad. A while ago I removed itunes now I can't charge the ipad (REALLY), it is powered off.

Looking at my gtab and waiting for netflix to show up as well as a slew of other things... Having used ipad first I wanted one but now I would much rather have the gtab.

Bottom line is neither product is able to replace a laptop yet but to me Android is going to make that process enjoyable.
[G Tablet General] S_C_B:
The update made a world of difference!!!!!
[G Tablet General] antmay1:
Hi,

can you elaborate a little bit more on your experience with the latest official update. I'm assuming you are NOT using the overlay UI and using the stock android UI.

I'm concerning about the reported laggy with their overlay UI. With the stock UI, is it responsive?

Thinking not to root the device yet

Thanks,

Anthony
[G Tablet General] johni58:
My numbers are 3389 but it still has T&T.

What are the chances the gtab will run Honey eventually ? /
[G Tablet General] thorpe24:
Should be pretty good as the gtab is on par spec wise with the zoom minus the resolution....

Plus once we get honeycomb source/zoom releases development will go into over drive for anything with a tetra 2.

open up your browser. now, type “about:debug” and hit go. click “Settings”, and scroll on down to the bottom to reveal the “UAString”.

Update: that link got me a version of Hero of Sparta and it runs smoothly however there is no sound coming out of the speakers at all (I obviously checked the volume rockers lol) The Media Volume is crossed out.

I had asked them for a Nexus One apk so that might be the reason, already put another request for a Galaxy S apk letting them know I have a Nexus S we will see what they say :)

So I played the game and it is actually choppy. Fun and gory but runs at like 10-15 fps.

The different Gameloft builds are optimized for different phones, so you should actually try and download the Galaxy S build if you want the best performance (not the N1 build).

[Galaxy Tab General] letolkki:
Anyone know where I can get the rfs source tree. I need it to compile a module in my opensuse 11.3 box so I can create the file systems.

I mounted the factory.rfs file system:

mount -o loop factory.rfs /mnt/factory

I cp'd the factory.rfs to factory-new.rfs

mount -o loop factory-new.rfs /mnt/factory-new

cleaned out factory-new

tar'd up the contents of /mnt/factory and extracted them into factory-new

when I unmounted the file systems the factory-new.rfs does not operate correctly on the Galaxy Tab but the factory.rfs works perfectly. diff -r between the two mounted fs show no differences.

I got the porting guide from rfs but need the rfs tree to compile the kernel module so my system doesn't corrupt the rfs file.

Any ideas? or am I barking up the wrong tree.

Thanks,
