Honestly it seems to be a one kernel only situation for these devices. I understand what you are referring to. Much like desktop systems where you have a distro of Linux installed and you can choose different kernels to boot with. Unfortunately I don't believe any device right now has a bootloader that is capable of having multiple kernels installed with the option to boot from each one. Unless GRUB or LILO make it on to our devices I don't see this happening anytime in the near future.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I just got my Vibrant like two days ago, manufacture date October 23rd, 2010, and I can't get a GPS lock at all indoors or out. I've downloaded the Samsung GPS reset tool and it can't get a lock either. I'm in Central America, so I don't know if my GPS software is configured correctly or not and before I open the phone to attempt the hardware fix, I'd like to ask:

What should I do first?

Is there a manual setting that I can try for my region that will rule out whether or not the hardware fix is necessary?

Thanks.

Well i can always find what im looking for in here , but having trub with this one . have dx running apex rom but i really want the rotary lock , and i tried dealing with widgetlocker but thats anoying and to buggy any one have an idea how i may do this ? thanks for your time.:D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
The rotary lockscreen is only available on gummyjar 2.5 right now that I know of.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] JFMFT:
Not true. The rotary lockscreen is available on Fission 2.5.7. Not sure if it could be ripped right from the ROM for use in other ROMs or with stock, but you could try.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] preusstang:
Bump*

Im on fission 2.5.7 right now and the rotary lock is flippin sweet.

However I was on apex the other day (been on it for a while) then switched to rubix focused and then fission

Im liking apex better though for certain reasons.

Rotary lock is too sweet to give up. The dialer looks awesome as well :(

Could I just snatch the lockscreen settings app? Would that have everything in it?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Acid'sMark:
Most likely not... You will probably need to find the .jar file that it needs and maybe tweaking. I would have to look at it though

When you turn of wifi it can't scan for wifi near.Try using cell near, then it scans for celltower.Or location
[Android Apps and Games] pda:
thanks i'll try that
[Android Apps and Games] photoframd:
Try Cell Near instead

Are you using the scan function in Cell Near? It should retrieve the ID of the closest cell tower with a value following a slash:

CDMA: 99999 / 8

Try changing the value to a wild card:

CDMA: 99999 / *

I have been using the following to turn WIFI on and off:

Add a new Profile and select State. Then select Cell Near and click the Scan button to find which Cell Towers are near your current location. Check the Invert button. Add a Task to for WIFI and set to Off.

Duplicate this profile and uncheck Invert and set WIFI to On.
[Android Apps and Games] photoframd:
Confirm Cell Towers

You can confirm the Cell Tower ID by downloading one of these free Apps:

Antennas

Cell Tower Locator

You will want to use the BSID number listed in one of these Apps in Tasker for Cell Near.

[General Questions and Answers] Locobox:
Hi all!

I finally managed to ROOT an aPad M701 using z4Root.apk

Now I want to make an image of my entire ROM tablet, I've heard that under the ROM manager app is a tool called "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" that has to be installed in order to make a full ROM backup.

The problem is that everytime I try to install it a screen pops out telling me to choose from the list my model of phone (I'm on an aPad tablet), since I'm not on a phone, I'm unable to continue with the process!

Any method or workaround for installing Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on Haipads/aPads M701?

Thanks in advance for the help.
[General Questions and Answers] Clookeno:
Custom Recovery Image

On Team Telechips website there is a custom Clockwork recovery image toward the bottom of the page.

Use the .bat file they include in their ZIP file or push the .img file to /nand and flash. You will then be able to back up everything with the custom m701 clockwork application.

If the .bat file doesn't work for you, try opening it up as text and use the commands as a guide to push via adb.

[General Questions and Answers] bakrz:
The /nand folder needs to be read-writeable....since you use z4root go into temporary root and the push the file into /nand folder
[General Questions and Answers] Clookeno:
Locobox, there likely isn't a step-by-step guide for the procedure because it has a .bat file which is basically a executable file in windows that runs a set of commands in the DOS prompt for you. Basically you just double click the install_recovery.bat file and it puts the ADB commands in for you to push the recovery image to your tablet.

If you right click the .bat file and click edit you will see the following ADB commands:

adb push recovery.m701.img /nand/recovery.m701.img

adb shell sync

adb shell flash_image recovery /nand/recovery.m701.img

adb shell sync

adb shell reboot recovery

If you are familiar with ADB you can also copy the .img file to your sd card and flash it from there.

i recommend you have root access and the ADB utility.

Sorry it took so long to reply, work has been killing me lately....
[General Questions and Answers] Clookeno:
poole699,

I have tried everything you can think of to put CM6 on the 2.2 Haipad firmware (which is really a modded 2.1) and had no luck. Either the system directories are all messed up or they locked the ability to edit it somehow. If you figure it out let me know because i have wanted to try it for a while.

I have a working team telechips 2.2 with market and correct orientation settings but it took ALOT of trial and error. If you go that route make sure you back-up your pointercal file because if you do not you will likely have to go back to an official release, save it, and try the telechips mod again...

Good luck

Thanks again for the info, but I'm not familiar with ADB. The procedure seems difficult for me :( hope this thread helps a lot of other users!

M701 Screen Flip

Hi guys, I've got a bit of a problem with my M701 tablet. I did a factory reset the other day and now the digitizer is inverted. The screen works fine but when I touch the top it senses the bottom & left = right.

This is a complete pain in the arse.

I plugged the unit into a keyboard via the usb port as a workaround until I could get into it to try to resolve the issue but I'm now stuck in a loop at the sign in to google bit. Every time I sign in it takes me back to the sign in page.

This is also a complete pain in the arse.

It doesn't have clockworkmod installed and so when I tried to install update.zip as per the above post, it comes up with 'E:Failed to verify whole-file signature' error message and aborts.

Again, a complete... you get the picture...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfreshx:
Hi guys, all of us usually makes a nandroid backup right after we root up phone and install ROM manager (w/ the htc sense still in).

So i have that original backup made. I was wondering, do we make a nandroid backup after we have installed the cyanogen mod? This is so incase anything happens - I can just go back to the state when i first installed my mod and not any further back. I have not heard any suggestions of doing this previously leading me to believe it will not work.

Any input is greatly appreciated !

=)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
Well you really dont need one of when you first install the rom, as you can do a "factory reset" in recovery to get back to that point (rom with no apps). You should make a backup as soon as you get all your apps set up, then every few days after that, deleting older ones as newer ones are made.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbertram:
It certainly won't HURT to make an immediate backup of your Sprint ROM after rooting. That's what I did. Then install the Cyanogen 6.1 mod, and enjoy it. I upgraded my sdcard to 8GB, for more room, and have probably 6 different Nandroid backups , at various points of my progress. Probably overkill, but it's not much of a chore either.

Some people might call it "fun".

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
Yeah, you don't *have* to do it ever, and *can* do it whenever. It just makes sense to do it before you're about to flash some new stuff, which is why that's all you see.

You can always move them off the sd card and onto your computer too. I have like 2-3 gigs worth of them on my couple comps. (You know, in case I have to go back to how my phone was on 7/15/2010 just before I flashed....something, 40 flashes ago.) :p

I have had one problem with gps fix, it took about 90 sec to fix satellites.

I have found a thread in the Desire section that have solved this problem.

Now my gps takes about 15-30 sec to fis the satellite.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=727887

This fix is only for European users and need to have root privilege.

You have to edit the file gps.conf located at /system/etc. I have used root explorer to edit the file.

You have to change the server like this:

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org

instead of

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

For me it is working fine. I hope it is the same for you.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Yes it is useful, but mattog does have a valid point though, as this "fix" has been around for months and the full solution referred to by mattog is not only for Europe but for the Rest of the World also, so this post is misleading, although useful to some (ie if you happen to live in Europe) ;). The full solution however is even better as instead of only putting Europe (which is rather large) you can narrow it down even further to individual countries to even further improve response time.

The full solution has been posted on the HD2 Android forums and is even posted in a FAQ thread in this very forum, which nobody happened to notice this useful bit of info as who ever reads the FAQ's, because "that's for noobs and my problem is unique" :D.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markmarkr:
Yes, that is what the "pool" part means, there is a pool of servers and you get any server from the pool. There are over 500 servers in the US pool. Either just set things to us.pool or find the ip of an actual server near you if you think it will make a difference.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
I don't know why people keep investing with changing the time server for the GPS.conf file. This is only used for calibrating the time of your phone. It does not matter which server you use as they all report in GMT. Saving 80ms is not going to make any difference. The default one works and the slight latency is fine.

Further more this gps conf file is used to configure the downloading the the GPS-A data. It is scheduled to run x times per week however I believe it does not run. The process is meant to be, it initially downloads the data to a local file location and then injects it into the GPS. The schedule job is not even running. I suspect it is a permissions thing. The second issue is the current kernel is not allowing the GPS data to be injected into the GPS where it can be used for speeding up GPS locks.

Testing of this fix is pointless within 24 hours as the GPS will remember the lock details it last had. Within a certain time period the same satellites will still be in place/available therefore a quicker lock. After 6-12 hours the satellites have move on and the old info does not apply anymore so a complete new lock is required. This takes time.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I think the correct nation value in gps.conf, along with a utility such as GPS Status & Toolbox helps best.

I have the value north-america.pool.ntp.org since I'm in the USA and using that with GPS Status & Toolbox I get a lock literally in seconds, less than 10. After you have the appropriate value and also install GPS Status & Toolbox. Open that program and from the menu select Tools -> Manage A-GPS state, click the Reset button, then go back into Tools -> Manage A-GPS state and click the Download button. After this you should get GPS locks very fast.

You'll have to open the GPS Status & Toolbox program every few days to keep the downloaded data current. But you'll only have to open the program and it should do the rest for you automatically after that initial setup, without you having to go through the entire process of Reset and Download manually. When you open it it will say it has downloaded the data again and then will get a GPS lock for you and tell you how long it took. The more current the data download, the faster the lock will be.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
^^Yes, GPS Status Helps..I also feel..

I think this helps too..I'm not sure...could be just me...but fix seems faster after i changed it...
