[Hero CDMA General] bluefoxav:
Hey guys this is my first post here and I tried to search for an answer before posting. Here's what I have:

-HTC Hero CDMA

-cyanogenmod 6.1 heroc

-most recent sprint radio 2.42.01.04.27

-decafuct kernel 2.6.29.6

-open home full 4.4

Since I installed the new kernel and radio two things are happening.

1. Thy wifi says 'error' when I try to turn it on.

2. Everytime I reboot as soon as the home screen comes up it says that openhome had a problem and needs to be closed so I select forclose (my options are forceclose and report) Then after a second the home screen shows up, I see the the phone is mounting my sd card and my icons are all there but they are the generic android icons. If I click on any it says, this application is not installed. So I go into application manager and force close openhome again, and that restores it. Also any Widgets I had installed has the error 'problem loading widget' if I long press the screen to put a widget back, most of the Widgets aren't showing up to select. At least the ones that were running before the reboot. Any ideas? I've tried starting in safe mode and the home screen never comes up all I can access is the status bar on top.

And yes, open home is installed on the phone and not the SD

I am considering the Viewsonic G tablet, looks like it can be really fast with an OS upgrade. Those that own one are you happy with its performance and are you using the stock OS? Also can you send and receive text messages with this tablet?

Thanks!

ED
[G Tablet General] darkness77:
I picked one up from sears yesterday. I had read that the stock os was not very good so I didn't bother with it I upgraded straight to tnt lite 2.2 and then today upgraded to 3.1.2 I like for the brief amount of time that I have had it. There is a lot of help here so all you have to do is read the post =) I spent the last couple of weeks doing that before I purchased mine. Only problem I have with it is that I can't put it down because if I do one of my family members takes it and I won't get it back for a while.
[G Tablet General] mmracing:
Welcome to xda-developers. You will see things move pretty quick here so hang on tight. :D

I have run all the ROMs available and like VEGAn the best. It is currently in the beta phase but it really improves performance.

The only way I'm aware of to send and receive text is to use Google Voice. The problem I see with Google Voice is that it you selecte one of their phone numbers which you have to give to your contacts (so they know it's you). I find it easier to just text from my Droid 1.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
I've had my gtab since Nov 21nd. The developers here at XDA have done an excellent job in getting the most out of the gtab. The earlier version of the out of the box software ran like a dog (I never understood this phrase... Some dogs run really fast...) I received the OTA update on Nov 22nd, which made the out of the box software somewhat usable, although performance was struggling to get to 1000 on the Quadrant Standard benchmark. Using any of the custom roms such as VEGAn (beta), ZPAD, or TnT Lite, we see Quadrant Standard benchmark scores around 2400, which is one of the fastest devices today running on the Android OS.

Viewsonic provided another software update on Dec 23rd, which was much improved. Performance for the stock rom is running around 1800, which is pretty good in itself.

Most applications run smooth. Web browsing with the out of the box browser is so-so. Other folks use browsers like Dolphin and xScope. I particularly don't care for either one. Video (e.g. ripped movies, YouTube) run smooth. Video running in a Adobe Flash Player is a mixed bag. We're all hoping that the official release of the flash player next month will support Tegra 2, and will address the video chopiness issues we see.

All-in-all, I'm very impressed with the gtab performance.

How are they updated ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverrette:
Is there an app I can use to do this or some settings I can change to make the font size larger? I tried an app called "Root Changer (root user)" didn't really work. Thanks everyone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Spare parts works great
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverrette:
I have spare parts but it only changes the font size within the app.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black-Star:
I'm also looking for an app like that, i want to make my front smaller :D

Maybe you could change directly the front with flipfont ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverrette:
I installed the Zapf Chancery font from flipfont and thats the reason I'm trying to find something that increases the font size. It's a great font just to small.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eweo911:
I think the only way to do what you are asking is to edit the font through the creation of a font and install it with flipfont. There is a great thread (created by Ritalin) with all the info how to do it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=745345 - there may be one already created that's perfect for you.

It's a very easy process. It is a bit time consuming changing the font size if you don't get it right the first time cause you have to do it over and over till you get the size right.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverrette:
Thanks for the thread, I appreciate it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] loopyeyes:
What are some small aspects of WP7 that you appreciate that others may not have noticed?

For me, after about two or three weeks of having the phone, I realized something about the text message tile. This is most likely old, but, if you have no messages, the smiley will be like this :-), if you have a message - ;-), if a message failed to send - :-( (or something like that, I don't quite remember it), if you have 4 or more messages - :-O

It was just something that made me smile and think, "really? who would have thought of including that?"

Anyone else have moments like this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
Really, that happens? That's a really nice touch!

For some reason I always loved how the arrow button rotates around when switching between the Live Tile view and the Apps list view. I don't really know why I like it, but I just do! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Yes that really happens, it is touches like this that make the device a delight to use, I really like the on screen keyboard, it feels just right in use
[Windows Phone 7 General] Xylias:
It turns out, every time you type on the soft-keyboard in WP7, it’s a subtly different sound. Whereas the iPhone has only one audio sample that it repeats every time you tap on the virtual key, WP7 plays one of eight variations in a loop.

Although it’s ever so slightly different, Microsoft claims they’ve done this so its more organic like footsteps down a hallway – the same but different, and less “obnoxious” if you were to press the backspace repeatedly. Matthew also claims feedback from “power typers” suggests the sounds deliver a better tactile experience.

[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
seconded on the sw keyboard. And the keyboard is also good. It keeps up with fast typing and multitouch as well as text correction is smooth as butter. This has been the most pleasant sw keyboard I have ever used.

I think I can say another good touch is the start menu button. It is so good for quick one handed operation especially on the dell venue pro. I have to put a bit of force so its not pushed by mistake

Again nice touch
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I didn't realise that about the keyboard sounds, it definitely does contribute to the pleasant nature of the typing experience
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
I really like the sense the phone gives (through its use of the panoramic screens) that you're the one controlling the phone, not the software. For instance, the speed at which you move through the content is dictated by the speed at which your finger moves, not some predetermined speed associated with an invisible switch you flip when your finger swipes across the screen.

I'm currently dling OTA update OTA_Supersonic_3.70.651.1-3.29.651.5_releasezq9ss6wyobuo26b5.zip

58.2 mb file

It's currently 9:58 PM MST. It just popped up on my phone stating the update was available.

As I was trying to install Swype, I got a notice that "Swype is included in the next OTA update." I'll confirm this when it installs.

just a heads up for everyone.

EDIT: I realize I'm late to the update news. I apologize for wasting valuable thread space
[EVO 4G General] kevlar3d:
I just updated my "spare evo" (unrooted phone for work) and now my android market does not work. Says Attention an error has occurred. Please try again later. Went to application manager and removed data from market, tried again. Same error. Went back to app manager and removed updates from android market. Same error. Gmail app also wont connect after the update, says "no connection - retry"

This is with Wifi enabled/4g disabled, 4g enabled/wifi disabled, both enabled, both disabled

I dont use this one enough to worry about doing a hard reset yet, maybe a fix will come in the next week or so.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] suda:
Hey i've done alot of searching with no sucess. Here my situation:

I have a D2G. I rooted using z4root. I will be traveling over seas soon and my gsm has been unlocked by Verizon. With the current software if I put in a at&t sim as a test it shows no service when I change it to gsm. The new software update is suppose to fix that. With the phone being rooted it will not take the software update. I hit unroot in z4root app and it says im successfully unrooted but the update still fails. I tried doing a hard reset after using unroot option in z4root still no success with the update.

Heres what I did find:

edit: I can't post a link because this is my first post. Its unlockrdotcom and it has a little how to guide in there.

This is a how to guide on how to completely unroot a droid 2. I downloaded the Motorola drivers installed them successfully, I installed RSD lite + patch successfully, and I downloaded the original droid 2 firmware successfully. When I try to extract the droid 2 firmware I get an error message (using winrar). I i've tried deleting the firmware and redownloading it and deleting winrar and re downloading it (restarted after uninstall).

QUESTION:

Is the firmware on droid 2 and droid 2 global the same? .. Where can I find the correct firmware.

I know thats alot but I appreciate any help!! Overall objective is to fix this gsm problem my phone has, keep in mind i've unlocked it.

THANK YOU for any help!!!!:)

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valorendk:
Hope that someone can shed some light on this for me...

Wednesday evening, I decided to root my brand new MyTouch 3G Slide. I had barely had it a week and I couldn't ignore the itch. So I did my research and finally settled on the instructions set on the Cyanogenmod Wiki page using the Exploid method. After a couple of blunders, I got it to work and installed CyanogenMod 6.1.1 for the Slide. It worked great for the most part. There were a couple of issues that I had that ended up being deal breakers (Unable to install Flash, dock at the bottom of screen randomly disappeared, etc.). I decided I'd had my fun and wanted to go back to a stock image. Stupid me, I didn't do a Nandroid back up first. Luckily, I found a near stock image in with Champion build. After 2 long hours, and thinking that I had bricked my phone, I got it back on and everything seems to be working normally. I found out this afternoon at work that this flashed the Champion build but actually put the radio version into a lower version than was current. So I started looking into doing the manual update, which led me to finding the 1.35.531 OTA ROM from CR. Since I was at work, I couldn't attempt the update.

I've now been at this over an hour again and cannot get it to reroot to install this image. I followed the exploid rooting instructions again and everything seemed to be working fine until I load into the bootloader. It looks for the ESPRIMG.zip but doesn't find it, though I've verified 3 times that it is there on the root of the SD Card. So I went into Android System Recovery and attempted the Update.zip, to which I received the "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" and the install aborts.

I've searched and searched and followed all sorts of directions to correct the issue. Maybe one of the experts can tell me what I'm doing wrong :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
I can't think of why the bootloader wouldn't see the esprimg file unless it wasn't on the root of your sd card. But you should follow the new rooting guide in the android development section for this phone by nbetcher, supposed to be much easier to follow. Try that, although that ALSO requires esprimg.zip. So yeah is ESPRIMG.zip on the root of your sd card? It has to be there.

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valorendk:
I never got around to doing this again. I was without my new smart phone for days while I wiped, rooted, installed, rinsed, repeated. I stuck with the Champion build and have moved on from the root. I know I had that esprimg.zip on the root of the drive but it wouldn't read so I just gave up. I'm pretty happy with the stock interface. Thanks for the help though MusicMan.
[Streak 5 General] praetorrian:
I updated my wifes stock ATT streak from 1.6 to 2.2 using qdl tool. Everything went great without any errors. It is currently set for the swype keyboard. The usual setting to switch the default keyboard is not there. The settings for the swype keyboard and the android keyboard are all there. She hates the swype keyboard and wants to switch to the android keyboard. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Streak 5 General] tmotytn:
Long press in a text field should bring up a menu, you should see 'input method'. touch that, should bring up keyboards...

[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
Had never heard of this app until today and I love it... Thought I'd give it a mention.

It's a complete lockscreen replacement.
[Epic 4G Themes] decalex:
does it feel as smooth as the standard lock screen? or does it cause some lag?
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
I haven't noticed any lag.

The only downside in my opinion, so far, is that the gmail icon counter only shows the count of your primary account. Hopefully they enhance that to show counts of multiple accounts soon.
[Epic 4G Themes] pyrotech:
The biggest down side about apps like this is its not a true replacement for the lock screen.. It is just an app that runs over top of the default one.. I bought widgetlocker and now dont use it. I will sometimes see the stock lock screen or it wont have lag when locking it.. I tried GoTo and its about the same..

I came from the iPhone and used intelliscreen which just added stuff to the default lock screen.. Was amazing.. Wish someone could come up with the same type of mod for the android lock screen.. =[
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
Testing more, the only time I ever see the normal lockscreen is if I enable the option to disable the volume/camera buttons. I reported it, not sure what they'll do about it.

That said, I don't actually want that option enabled so I never see the normal lockscreen in my real use.

I also still have not run into any lag, but I guess that will vary based on a zillion different factors from person to person.

You're right though, I wish that things like this could be true replacements.
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
Theres a way to disable the lock.screen on htc devices but that's cause its a .apk with some digging around I'm sure someone can disable the tw lock screen. Doing so would allow you to use the app without the stock lock screen showing up. Not to sure about lag thought
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
That'd be cool... I'll have to search around.
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
I need to use the phone for a bit longer and test more, but I went into Titanium and froze TWLauncher and I am no longer getting the normal lockscreen, even if I disable GOTO, so I think it is gone.

I do see the normal lockscreen very briefly if I reboot the the phone, but it goes away in a split second and I don't see it again unless I reboot again.

Perhaps that is all that is needed.
[Epic 4G Themes] adamw1101:
This app is the bomb
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
Nevermind... that SEEMED to work for a little bit, but now if I have the disable volume/camera option enabled I see the normal lockscreen for a split second again. It goes away quickly, but it does appear.

That said, I still never see it at all if I don't enable the disable volume/camera option.
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
Ok, I installed NoLock (free in the Market) and disabled the lockscreen with it and that works. I see the normal lockscreen very briefly upon a reboot, but never again after that.

I tested a bit longer this time before saying so, lol.
[Epic 4G Themes] swanysto:
This thing works flawlessly for me. Sometimes my fat fingers have a hard time stopping on the text message one, but that is user error.

[Epic 4G Themes] PokeAsheep:
So I've been using this for a day now and I love it. Can change the shortcuts to similar apps, can unlock, doesn't make phone lag and it's only .99c
[Epic 4G Themes] mythix:
I've also been using it for a day now, and it's a really nice app!

Been seeing the regular homescreen quite a few times though, will try to disable the "enable the disable volume/camera option"' option...
[Epic 4G Themes] amosher13:
yeah as someone else said you have to use nolock (market) with any lockscreen app but i've heard that it does make it pretty flawless
[Epic 4G Themes] pipskicks:
You can do this and it's probably easier to change your lockscreen over and over, but you can navigate the system, or apply a new theme which either way can change the system files. Someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in as to what you need to do, I'm not sure if you can delete it and disable it that way or if it just puts something else up instead, but I definitely know you can theme the lockscreen because I have seen different ROM's have different lockscreens.

How Way? :D
[Epic 4G Themes] BeerChameleon:
tested it out and i think it needs some more options, for customization..

Although here is what i liked:

1. You can use any messaging app on your phone and it will open it for you.

2. i believe it may only work for gmail, which i loved it opened that as well.

3. It renabled the silent mode, on 2.2 with its volume setting on it, Great!!!

4. Took you to your most recent calls or your phone?

The bad:

1. No landscape support

2. cant disable current lockscreen setting

3. not that customizable

4. needs speed adjustments to open faster..

I unistalled and refunded, not satisfied, with the bad

Overall

Great lock screen needs work b4 ill buy it.
[Epic 4G Themes] schnowdapowda:
Is there an option to delay the lock for like a minute or so? I'm using widget locker with nolock and its great I just wish I could hold off the lock (not the screen off the actual locking) for a while because I'm lazy.

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G Themes] BeerChameleon:
No no delay options what so ever... :(

So has anybody used goto and widgetlocker? Which one is better and what makes it so?

[Epic 4G Themes] daddymikey1975:
if you use beautiful widgets, you can customize the crap outta the clock.

if you download any of the ADW icon packs from the market, you can select THOSE instead of the default icons.

problem solved :D

(see the thanks button ??) :)
[Epic 4G Themes] iTouch24:
am i missing something? how does any of the above allow u to change goto lockscreen customizations?
[Epic 4G Themes] daddymikey1975:
to customize the clock I use beautiful widgets superclock 4x1 on my goto lockscreen. This allows me to customize the clock ON the lockscreen.

and when setting up Goto Lockscreen, one of the "start up tips" even suggests to get more icons, download and install an ADW icon pack. It even suggests that you don't need to have ADW launcher, just the icon pack.

My post was a response to the following:
[Epic 4G Themes] iTouch24:
I think u are confusing GOTO lockscreen with WidgetLocker lockscreen ... in GOTO there is no way to customize the clock, etc
