[G Tablet General] butchconner:
A while back I stumbled across an Advent Vega site which had a copy of the Vega tablet manual -- this is the same Vega that our "VEGAn ROM" is based on. After looking at the manual, I realized it would be a big help to anyone running the VEGAn ROM offered here in this forum.

I posted a quick note giving the address of the site for G-Tablet VEGAn Rom users:

http://www.myadventvega.co.uk/

Earlier today it was moved by a moderator to the Vega General forum which will not help G-Tablet users at all.

Can someone -- if you agree about the usefulness -- get this address included in the STICKY on VEGAn Rom so it will be here for our G-Tablet people's use?

Rev

EDIT: Moderator returned the post to G-Tablet from Vega but still left it in General away from the ROM info Still would be a good idea to get it in the sticky. IMHO.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Again, folks, I wrote a note asking that info be added to a "sticky" in Developers for the good the developers and people using the VEGAn ROM. Only person that can do that is the developer who wrote it and he lives there.

But someone pulled this out of Developers without apology or comment even though the request concerns a Developers sticky and info for it. Again, I think it is rude and inappropriate.

We need to communicate and work together and someone's making that more and more difficult.

Rev

P. S. -- And if whoever is doing it is doing so because they are mad at me or don't like me or how I work -- then shame on you for hurting others just to get at me.

I posted earlier the green one i made and had a few people ask for other colors so here is blue & red along with the green as id rather have them all in one thread instead of clogging xda. Again thanks to retrokid, adrynalyne and nitsuj17 for all of the help! Thanks to everyone that have tested the apks on IRC for me too. Also thanks to the person that originally made the gbkb compatible with version 2.1, wouldn't have been able to do any of this without his APK.

They all install as normal apks, or should at least, post if any problems arise.

Also, I am aware of the & key showing up as amp& or whatever. Its a problem with the GBKB itself and I cannot fix it.

Guys,

Thanks for the help in fixing my camera issues !!

My next question is, am I still rooted once I updated to 2.2 ?? The Market doesnt seem as extensive as it was when I was rooted on 2.1

I am pretty new at all this stuff, how can you tell if your rooted on 2.2, and if I'm not, how can I properly root it again ??
[Epic 4G General] Isira:
root and Market are not related. You need to change your phone fingerprint to the Nexus 1 to show all the protected applications again as Google does not recognize the DK28 fingerprint.

However, you need to be rooted to edit the file. See the following thread for the fingerprint. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848778

One way to check is to open up a terminal and type "su"

To get root back, use the one click installer.

Or flash a Tom to get all the apps. If you want to find out if your rooted just download titanium from the market. As soon as you open it it will say asking for root rights.

[Epic 4G General] Vinman18:
ok, here comes the idiot question of the night....

is there any way to root my phone, without having to use a computer to download any files ??

When my friend originally rooted my phone when I was on 2.1, he didnt have to use a computer, he was able to do it right on the phone itself (not sure what he did, tbh)

[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
To tell if you're rooted - install an app like Titanium Backup, which needs root to function properly. If you're not rooted, there won't be access to the market.

For root if you've lost it, your best option may be to install a custom ROM, which are usually pre-rooted. Besides, most custom ROMS are better than what comes stock. Which custom ROM will depend on your needs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wjohnson1186:
I was curious to what you the Developers of the awesome stuff we have for the Epic are using? Are you using the SDK tools we get from Google to make new things? Or are you using some other stuff? I kind of want to make some stuff but I don't know how?

Can you tell me what you used or are using to get where you are now? How do you do it? Can you tell me where or something?

Anything would be helpful.

And please no random "I want to know this too" or arguing to whats better? That would be saved for another post/thread. I do apologize if this is a repeat thread. I didn't see it on the front. I think this should be though.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno502:
I am curious as well.

Plapczyn, do you know of any tutorials on developing ROMs for the Epic? Does it require a lot of coding?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsforgotten:
Source.google.com

Read it follow instructions to get and compile code. That lets you build a rom from source code where you can alter the os. The only source code that is released for the Epic is 2.1 As of now. If you have specific problems with doing any thing in their directions pm me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
There are lots and lots and lots of tutorials. Google is your friend.

It doesn't require much coding, but you can do plenty of coding if you want.

If you want to make roms, check out the Chef Central forum here on XDA. There are threads with a lot of info on how to do things. Also, you should check out what is going on the other Galaxy S forums. If you want to do dev stuff, you first need to figure out what you want to do, and then go from there. Making a rom (actually any development really, agnostic of device or system), is more about making and pulling in small incremental changes and testing them.

That's the best advice I can give you...is to always break things down into small incremental changes that can be tested in between. Use source control and CHECK IN your changes. This goes for simply swapping out pngs in apks, or doing kernel mods. That way, you always know where your latest working copy is and you what changes caused your system to break...which it inevitably will. Nobody codes things correctly the first time every time. We all have the urge to just make a whole bunch of changes at once and see if it works. The thought is that we don't have enough time to test everything in between. Trust me, you will spent 5 times more time fixing bugs by doing it this way, over just doing it right the first time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno502:
thats good advice plapczyn, thank you. I will evaluate what I want to do and go from there. my #1 priority is app developement, to better my resume and help with my career, but I am interested is possibly experimenting in ROMs too.

:(

Hi everyone. I am hoping that you will be able to help me because I am not getting any joy from the seller of my tablet. (Letsgomobile Hong Kong)

I am wanting to install the windows drivers for my Zenithink ZT-180 but having problems.

I am holding the round menu button down whilst I power up the Tablet and it shows a small android icon with a triangle containing an '!' inside the triangle on the screen of the tablet and if I press the menu button again it comes up with Android e2 and a mini menu which includes

Reboot

SD card update

clear Cache

and reset to factory settings

But when I plug it into my computer it detects device and is identifying it as Android Eclair.. and it wont accept the drivers included in Burntool 7.2..

looking at the guides on the net it appears that the device should be identifying its self as SEC SOC Test Board..!

Note I have tried several computers running xp,vista and win 7 and all do the same thing

Can anyone advise where I am going wrong? or is it that the tablet is faulty?

if you need any more info let me know

Many thanks in advance

Ken

USB Driver

Hi,

I had to update my ZT180 yesterday because it suddenly did not want to switch on aymore.

I had trouble getting my XP pc to recognise it and finally worked when I used a mini USB cable in the OTG port on the ZT. You have to make sure you are realy pressing the front button before you switch on, and then you will only see the blue light - nothing on the screen.

I tried with a mini USB adapter on a regular USB cable but it did not work. The proper cable came with my Nokia phone.

Here is a link to a good description of the process and a picture of the cable. ...dreambeta.com/support/zenithink-zt-180
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v8griffith:
Hi thanks for the advice but I am pressing the correct buttons but can't get the blue light to turn from green and instead it comes up on the screen with a triangle a small android and an "!" in the triangle???? pressing the home (round) button brings up a menu...I dont seem to be able to stop it booting into android can it be that the device has been locked????
[General Questions and Answers] daleidenjp:
Hi there,

I own a LG E900 Optimus 7 and until some hours ago it worked fine.

I downloaded the "Network Setup" from the LG Marketplace yesterday.

It sounded nice so I started the App and it asked for a reboot.

Not thinking about bad things I did so. Thereafter my GPRS connectivity was screwed and some hours ago the phone connectivity was screwed too.

After some forum reading I suppose the network profile has been changed somehow, but I have no real clue. I went to my Provider which seems to have no clue either (Lucky 1st to have such a problem ;) ).

Since Wifi still works I downloaded the MFG Tool and after some time I saw that I have 2 profiles which could be from my Provider (surprisingly my Provider denies having a network profile for the LG Phone), however I can't change the profile due to an error message "Setting was failed (INVALID POLICY GROUP)".

Anyone got an Idea ? I suppose the registry has some wrong values ...

Gonna visit my Provider again tomorrow and sent an email to LG.
[General Questions and Answers] daleidenjp:
I guess it's solved, although i don't really know why.

I rebooted the phone a lot (40+ times) without effect.

What might now have resolved it was the MFG App.

I ran "8. Folder Tester" > "Automatic mode" followed by "9. IRT Test".

(Seconds after the IRT Test I received a pending SMS and Phone connectivity was restored without reboot.)

Since I have not yet found a description of everything what MFG can do, I consider myself lucky this time =).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionieins:
Alright, I tried first with the stock rom: different usb cables, kies, installing uninstalling samsung drivers, double twist, on a mac and on windows 7, and nothing works, no matter what I tried, none of that could show me the notification bar asking for what to do with the usb connection. Of course I tried setting the phone on debugging mode and on mass storage, also ask everytime, etc.

Finally I decided to leave the stock rom and move to Cognition froyo, in order to discard a hardware issue. Thanks to Rom manager I could make it without needing the usb at all.

Once in Cognition v2.3b8 I crossed my fingers and looked to the sky (even considering that I'm atheist) and plug in the usb to my computer.... and nothing happens besides the phone charging.

Can I say right now that this is definitely a hardware issue?

Some people here are use to say, "if it's charging, definitely it's a drivers issue", but after moving to a new rom, and trying in three computers (two windows and one mac) it is a drivers issue that I can fix without buying a captivates motherboard?

Please help me out here and I'll buy you a beer, a blue moon one if you like ;P

I'm pretty sure there's a problem with your USB cable if it's not the drivers. Try using a different cable and check.. Should work!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockosifraldi:
I am having the same issue and I took it to AT&T device warranty center and they found that the USB side on the phone had some water corrosion in it and therefore my warranty is voided. I also went down the path of installing drivers, different OS but this seems to be close. now If some can tell me how to clean this port...awesome
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Immaculate:
Is the water sensitive patch under the battery still white?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegy2002:
First make sure its not the usb cable. Main power leads in cable usually hold up but smaller wire leads are much more fragile and the only symptom you may get is either wont be recognized and/or usb registers as data connection on the dropdown menu. Ive had a captivate with a corrosion problem but Ive also had a Samsung cable that had broken shorted out data lead but still charged fine.

You can clean port with fingernail emery board cut to shape and stripped on one side of board to proper thickness. Its a five minute mod to a 99 cent board.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
I've seen long threads of people who reported the same issue: no actual water damage, but a messed up USB port and their warranties being unjustly denied. Try cleaning the contacts in the phone's microUSB port with a coffee filter dabbed in rubbing alcohol, or scratching at them with a thin wire.

I'm currently having USB port issues with my brand new replacement Captivate (phone sometimes randomly thinks it's plugged in when it isn't, thinks it isn't plugged in when it is), haven't had any luck fixing them yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokhentix:
If there's no visual residue on the charging port, they cannot rightfully void your warranty. The captivate has 2 LDI's(Liquid Damage Indicators), one on the battery and one on the phone itself, behind the battery. As long as those two are white, and as long as there isn't a bunch of green crap on the charging port, they will replace it.

I work at AT&T, and we deal with this everrrrrrrrry day. 3 big rules with warranty swaps; LDI's need to be white, charging ports need to be intact and not corroded, and there needs to be no physical damage, any scratches or dings that you can feel with a fingernail are considered physical damage. We help people who terlet their phones get warranty exchanges sometimes, nothing an exacto knife and some raw effort can't fix. ;) AT&T is a weak beast, be assertive and they will bend to your will.

In all honesty though, just make the charging port as clean as you can and call in. Ask for a supervisor, tell them it's a documented defect with a recent wave of Captivates, and you won't hang up until they exchange it for you.

I've had something weird happen as well. I've had my Captivate plugged into my PC using USB Debugging at least 10 - 15 times today. I also clicked "Mount" so I could transfer files that I have backed up.

Now suddenly it stopped working. I have jumped around using every port on my laptop (all 4). I have noticed it's acted weird before.

But now (without anything plugged in at all) the laptop keeps popping up saying USB Device Not Recognized.....even though I'm not trying to plug anything in.

Should I reinstall the Samsung 32 bit drivers? I did uninstall Kies today because I had no use for it. It was annoying to have Kies open every time I plugged in.

I've had this problem since i got my phone, and i've had it for months now.

Always thought it was drivers.

My last try was with the new AIO captivate tool box app and the drivers their.

For those of you that got replacements how did you go about this.

just go to the store? Or is there a number to call to do it over the phone?

It's just annoying not being able to transfer pictures and such off my phone, hell it worked with my iPhone. I know you can setup wifi file transfers, but if i'm at a friends house it would be nice just to be able to plugin the phone and transfer files too it.

I fixed this problem selling out the phone. Not joke.

BUT, thing is, that the buyer, couple days after the purchase, told me that he fixed this issue by simply restoring the phone to the stock rom through odin 1 click.

Why I didn't try that easy fix? Simply because I thought that the phone was already in the stock rom :S

Lesson learned: always double check if you're in stock rom or not. (obviously you don't need to do this if your purchased the phone brand new!)

It's really weird, a week ago my phone suddenly freezing while I was out, I took the battery off and put it back but it was stucking on AT&T logo scree. I've tried that for few times nothing changed, put it away and the next day tried for few more times and this time came up (also recovery mode and 3 buttons didn't work too).

Everything was look fine but had a problem it was when I plug the USB cable it's just showing the charge status, means couldn't connect the Phone to PC :( ,I tried with some other cables and PCs, also put hair dryer if possibly water went in but the problem was from the phone.. also when took the USB off the charging status was keep going. first thing I thought it would be the ROM, I had some other ROM in the memory to I flashed to another ROM, but the problem was still there.

tried many times nothing changed, I was almost wanted to grab a new one, till 2 nights ago after a week while it was charging I suddenly noticed that it can connected, I straight away got backups copied to PC and flashed to Stock, now everything looks fine after few days and it works good.

any suggestion on that? is it could be water inside or something?

My ROM was Cognition 2.3 at that time

hope it's not gonna happens again.

Same problem, just able to fix with my figure nail...

I am having same problem for some time... i.e usb charges no problem,

but will not connects to Windows (with proper drivers) or Linux to access data or

through adb shell ...

After reading above message,

as the issue may be due to PC driver or ROM on the phone

for checking the indicator removed the battery indicator is still white,

just tried as a last resort with my finger nail, very gently pressure i.e

pushed the usb pin down (towards the back side of phone), just once...

to my surprise it is working now. (i.e adb devices and adb shell) from ubuntu

Definetly every one would have tried, but for those who haven't tried physically,

without damaging the pin, can just give one try...

as this may not be issue of driver/rom issue.
