It is sad but they don't care. They got your (and my) money and the only thing they care about is this quarters profits. That's business these days. The real issue here is that in order for Samsung to sell these phones they intentionally misled consumers into believing that the devices would be updated very shortly after their release. I'm sure it's no coincidence that this update will take place right around Q2-2011; they've had this for a while and have been holding out on us.
[Fascinate General] justin94:

Here it is, straight from samsung. However, on the vzw website, it still lists it as having 2.1.

so fresh and so superclean.
[Fascinate General] lthibeault:
as i have stated before... the update was not ready at the beginning of this month... i saw it with my own eyes... everything was constantly FC'ing...

if it is now ready they have not been sitting on it very long...

God forbid we get a bug free update later than other carriers get a bugged up one....

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ben74:
this isn't a problem for those who are using a softkey app, but i wanted to see if i could hack the facebook app into not going fullscreen when viewing photos. i don't think it's legal for me to post my modified facebook apk (comments?), so here are some brief instructions for anyone interested. this technique should work for other apps too. please post if you have success with other apps.

1) use apktool to unpack your existing facebook apk

2) edit AndroidManifest.xml and change this line

<activity android:theme="@style/Theme.FacebookDark" android:name=".ViewPhotoActivity" />

to this

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Panel" android:name=".ViewPhotoActivity" />

3) rebuild the facebook apk with apktool

4) sign the apk using jarsigner and your own key

5) uninstall facebook and install the modified apk

if these instructions aren't detailed enough for you, then sorry but you probably shouldn't be messing around with stuff like this :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gedster314:
Hey, thanks for tutorial. That's much better then just posting a link to a download. I'm not a Facebook user but I will try that on other apps.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ben74:
ok, but note that Theme.Panel might not necessarily be the right theme for every situation. also, you only need to change the theme on activities that are full screen. you can find out the name of an activity by watching DDMS as you use the app. good luck.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Benjyp:
Would it be possible to apply this technique to completely disable the notification bar system wide?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wvcachi:
No, this is app-specific... Coming from a completely different place.

i have a samsung fascinate. while downloading a rom from rom manager my phone froze while trying to reboot. i got into recovery mode and i can't get out. idk how to get it back to factory. my recovery is cwm but i have voodoo so i'm not really sure how to go about this. please help. i'm a little new to this stuff
[Fascinate General] bendbowden:
Therein is your problem.

I would suggest refering to the thread "How to completely remove voodoo." I would then do a complete odin to stock (refer to the stickies) and start over.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
I agree, if you don't know what voodoo is and what it does, inside and out. You shouldn't use it.
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
So To try to help, what happens when you reboot the phone? Does it start the boot animation then freeze? Does it not get past the samsung screen? Does it automatically boot to recovery?

What rom were you trying to load from rom manager?

Hi .

Im trying to do an aplication for practice exam test but i have a lot of doubts.

Well, the first is when you launch the app, it have to load automatically the test from a specific folder. I dont know how to make that.

Second is about how can i "tell" to the app where answer is the right.

with a T and making a space between questions for autodetect questions, like this example...

Im a noob programe, in fact, i dont know anything about programming and all that i know is about reading the book "Hello android" but i need to do this app for practice my exams because i didnt found any app like that.

anyone can help me with that? :)

Thanks in advanced
[Android Software Development] spolfliet:
This seems like a good exercise for you to learn about Android development or Java development in general. You should definitely learn the basics of Java development first, there exist already topics on this (i.e. http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-660598.html)

Some more specific help for your problem. I will only give a suggestion on how to do this. You could for instance have a folder (say myquestions/) where you put all your questions in (question1.txt, question2.txt).

File externalDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File questionDir = new File(externalDir, "myquestions");

Now you can list all files in your myquestions directory and read/parse the contents.

try{
for (File questionFile : questionDir.listFiles()) {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(questionFile));
//Read and parse your questions
while ((strLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
// You should parse your lines here
}
in.close();
}
}catch (Exception e){
//Catch exception if any
}

To parse your answers for T or F you can use existing String methods like indexOf(), substring(),...

I did not test the above code, but it should get you started.

Good luck!

Stijn
[Android Software Development] keinan:
Thanks for your help spolfliet.

After reading your contents im now sure that i cant do my app, its too hard for a noob and i cant waste time in learning now java... the book "Hello Android" its useless in that case.

Better i prepare my exams in paper but i will open a new thread with photos and descriptive text about the test examinator that i try to do, for if anyone wants to do that and help people preparing exams, because in the market doesnt no exist anything like that.

Thanks spolfliet
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemental_Fire:
It sems there is a fps cap on our Desire HDs. In games and benchmarks, the limit seems to be around 59-60 fps. Is there any possible way to remove this? And yes, I know our screens are 60hz, but still...

Under ROM development as I understand it is something to do with kernels...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
Sounds like v-sync is on. If that is the case and if it were turned off to allow more then 60fps you would get screen tearing and screen tearing looks terrible.

V-sync is a good thing, it keeps frames that are drawn in sync with the refresh rate of the screen.

There is no reason to turn it off, maybe the menus and stuff will be faster but definitely not smoother.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemental_Fire:
That's not always the case, my friend ;) Generally i'm more interested to see what type of framerates this baby can hit!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
Well that's true, in that case it will have to be turned off. In WinMo it was a matter of changing a registry entry but on Android probably more complicated. Like you mentioned, a modified kernel most probably.

I would actually be interested aswell in seeing what this beast can do to. :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemental_Fire:
Hmmm...me ad my friend were experimemting around with our phones, I have a Desire Hd and he has a Galaxy S....generally Galaxy S is more powerful in 3D graphics. However, even though he built a custom gingerbread rom, my cpu was faster (quadrant rated mine 6600 at 998mhz vs his at 1024 mhz giving 5400). Another interesting find was that overclocking q hummingbird decreases gpu performance to speed up cpu operations. I assume the gpu is underclocked to provide more power to the cpu. However, at extremes (1.6ghz) it seems his gpu also overclocks, thus crashing the system. I was thinking if it were possible to overclock the gpu on a desire hd, or at least reroute power from the cpu to the gpu via software codes...

Is there an easy way to uninstall or just disable the Dell Stage UI? It BLOWS. I have an AT&T Unlocked Streak w/QDLTool Froyo 2.2. I like the basic OS, but this Stage thing is terrible. I tried looking through different threads, and the only thing I have seen so far is to flash something else.

It seems as though Dell Stage is an app, as I found it in the system file under apps.

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
Download another launcher

Launcherpro

Go launcher

Zeam

Ads launcher
[Streak 5 General] prasadKnew:
After installing other launcher, next time you press home button it will ask which app to launch, select the launcher you would like, make sure you select the check box for default selection. You might need to do this for some other actions too, but once done the launcher will get executed from next time.

I have tried 3 or 4 other but din't find any better. Slidescreen looks good but not enough to replace.
[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
Go with ADW Launcher EX. They just came out with the EX Edition. Its Really Really Nice. Then, download Home Switcher from the Market. Either way, once you set the different launcher as your default launcher, it will launch that one everytime.

Note: Be sure to delete everything off the Stage UI so theres no widgets or any icons on the screens. Then just keep all of the stuff added on our other launchers screen.
[Streak 5 General] sn707:
If you are rooted, you can use another launcher and delete Stage with Ti Backup. I used the "freeze" feature to make sure it was okay and it was fine for me.

[Streak 5 General] CGI_Ram:
So you deleted it?

I have Titanium and almost deleted Stage but feared a side effect.
[Streak 5 General] sn707:
Yeah, im using ADW EX make sure you have another launcher set as the default and you you can delete stage with no problems. Im on 2.2 318 with Perf fix. But, back it up and freeze it first just to make sure.
[Streak 5 General] fig_jam_uk:
ADW Launcher EX is superb (just like Compiz and Beryl on Ubuntu :)) thanks for sujesting, I didnt know it was released.
[Streak 5 General] cheetah2k:
loads of comments on the market place saying that Launcher Pro is better than ADW EX.

Anyone with experience of both launchers out there with a recommendation??
[Streak 5 General] CGI_Ram:
I have the exact same build as you.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
I think it's just personal preference. I prefer launcher pro plus. They are both good alternative launcher. Try them both then decide for yourself. You can use the free versions to get an idea.

Hi there!

So i was wondering if i should root my phone, and how would i should do it? I would like to avoid to write large amounts of commands on my phone.

I really like the uberroot way of doing it (please correct me if it's called something else.)

Is it safe to do it that way?

I've been looking for a vanilla froyo/gingerbread rom for desire z, and frankly,i haven't stumbled upon one yet.

I just wanna make TOTALLY clear, it's for desire z, not g2.

Hope you can help me!
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
All of the custom ROMs are compatible with both devices :)

Rooting with rage is the SAFEST way to go, just requires some simple adb commands:

"For this guide, it is not necessary to root the Viewsonic G Tablet in order to flash CyanogenMod. You can simply install ClockworkMod Recovery & continue on.

WARNING: INSTALLING CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY ON THE VIEWSONIC G TABLET WILL VOID THE WARRANTY."

(I would imagine though that all of this stuff can be erased? If it voids the warranty, then why in the world would anyone ever put it on there if it can't be undone...?)

I have to say up front, that I haven't had any of the major issues that everyone is going on and on about. I had the one time occurrence of the barrage of "Force Quits" that happened the moment I got it out of the box... But in less than 30 min, the 3389 Update was available and I haven't had one issue since.

The only 2 things that I was worried about was the ability to watch Youtube, which I found that as long as you view the original "Desktop" version of youtube then you have no problems... The Desktop version was a simple click of a link at the bottom of the Youtube Mobile Page... Fixed... Done...

(My only REAL Question)

The other problem that I had, and am still having, is simply trying to get my Gmail account to unload in the "E-Mail" application that came with the G Tab. It says to check my incoming mail settings, which I did, and still can't quite figure that out... Any ideas?

Other than that though, this thing has given me nothing short of a good experience. I'm not too savvy with the MOD aspect of everything, but I would think that if I put that on my system, that I would have the mods themselves to blame for anything that went wrong..... And I certainly wouldn't want to jeopardize my Warranty just to have gmail pop up 3 weeks faster than Viewsonic can pay it's employees to pump out updates.... I'm giving them time, as I would hope any customer base would give me if I were the manufacturer.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the cool little gadget... That's how I see it. It has a crap ton of potential, and I'm willing to watch this infant grow without boosting it full of steroids and blackmarket performance drugs...

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I actually use the Gmail app, not the Email app (modded Tnt Lite with gapps).

The mod warnings are for a reason - we have to assume that not everyone understands the implications of modding their device and they should know that it is a risk. And if you call Viewsonic after doing a mod like this and need help from them, they aren't going to support it (and I guess I can't blame them for that).
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
Can this be uninstalled?

Can clockworksmod be uninstalled? If so how?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
If you flash stock, and specifically recent stock, it should wipe clockworkmod recovery as well.
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
Thanks you for your help!
[G Tablet General] nascardudette:
Does this mean if there is a hardware failure on the tab, and you have installed any of the updates found HERE, you have voided warranty and Viewsonic will not repair?

I'm still trying to understand the flashing et al.

So ANY of the mods from this site would then be a warranty void?

Is there a reversal to the mods that would allow warranty?

Thanks
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't think they would honor the warranty, that's correct. It's a risk... all the mods are a risk.

Granted, they may not be able to see the mod unless they go into APX mode and pull your system.img, but anything obvious could be something they might latch onto (like if you modded the bootloader screen or have VEGAn's "GTabDevs" bootup screen).

Imo, the best reversal before RMA'ing for a hardware problems is nvflash - it will get you back to a clean vanilla stock setup, with all the boot images fixed as well as the system image. It's called "covering your tracks".
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
Modding

I look at it like this.... I paid roughly $400.00 for my tab(with tax). I understand that technology is moving SOOOO fast that my tab will be completely out of date in a matter of months. I bought my tab to have fun with, and part of the fun I want to have is to push it to see how far it will go. I guess in the end if I destroy my tab I will only be out the 400 bucks, but the other side of it is I can learn a helluva lot about rooting and flashing ROMS on an android device that I will(hopefully be able to) replace within a year.
[G Tablet General] reynwrap582:
Without Vegan and TNTLite, the GTablet would be worth roughly $0 to me... Well that might be overstating it, but maybe $100-200. With Vegan, my tablet is worth more to me than I paid, and currently lacking other options for a decent Android tablet that fits my needs, that makes it a pretty easy calculation.

I'd love a tablet with stock frogingercomb on it, but it's not an option. Basically I think it comes down to this: If your tablet gives you everything you want with Viewsonic's default software on it, by all means, don't go changin' anything. If you need more, try out some ROMs at the (slight but potential) risk of having a $400 paperweight. If you need more but can't take the risk, return the tablet for a refund and wait a couple months for the next wave.

Afterall, the XDA in XDA-Developers.com stands for "eXtreme Daredevil Alligators" I think, or something similarly awesome. It's not for the lighthearted!

So, does this uncap my data speed (so if I get 2.2 mbps that won't stay put there), or does this mean that I won't have to worry about overage charges/slowdowns at 5 GB (which will be in 200 MB for me)?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradatz:
It supposably only stops Verizon from slowing down your data speeds. NOTHING ELSE!

Many believe (including myself) that verizon slows down your data speeds if you use a lot of data. This helps the network be stable for everyone but really sucks for those of us that tether.

Anyone want to make one for R2's gingerbread?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
Lol ok that's fine. So when I near 5 GB it won't slow me down? Is that what you're saying? This stuff is new to me lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradatz:
Are you on a 5gb data plan?? or where is the 5gb coming into play?

I would hope they don't slow down anyones speed that has a capped amount to use monthly. Lets say your constantly downloading and its slowing down verizons network (hypothetically) They would rather slow down your speeds and leave more bandwidth available to others.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I think a bit of clarity is needed here. This mod will only stop Verizon from slowing down your data speeds.

It will NOT help you avoid overage charges.

For example let's say you're on a 250mb a month plan. This mod only ensures that you will get 250mb at unrestrcited speeds. Going over 250mb will still result in an overage charge.

Also, the reason people keep referring to 5gb on their "unlimited" plan is because Verizon starts to throttle data speeds after 5gb of data. That doesn't mean you get charged more, Verizon just slows you down. This mod will prevent that, and only that.

I hope that clears things up.
