[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buffbluff:
hey idk if your phone is rooted or not. but check out Wireless Tether. i think its free. but if you are wanting to conserve battery and have your phone wired. check out PdaNet.

its pretty awesome you dont have to change anything on the PC to get it to work. GL

Phone is rooted with CM6 RC51. I'm trying to remember how to reflash a more up to date version but I am scared to screw anything up haha.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
+1. Wireless Tether from the Market is probably the easiest and best route to go, but you do need to be rooted.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runngwlf:
I don't know about the release of cm your using, but CM supports USB tether natively. There is an option for it in settings, I think it is under the "wireless and network" settings, just use the checkbox, enable usb debugging and plug the USB into your netbook, it should find the network connection all by itself if the tether checkbox is checked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baxy:
I am currently running Android 2.2.1 and I find that the default text size in the stock browser is to small for me to read, and if I zoom in the text does not re-flow so I have to scroll to read. I tried searching for a solution but the only one I keep finding is to go to the browser settings menu and select "text size" and select a larger size, this sounds perfect except I don't have that option in the menu.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Many thanks

Dolphin Browser HD from the market instead .

Here's a video with ADWLauncher installed incase people didnt like the Notion Ink UI. It worked very well. I'm not too familiar with the settings in ADWLauncher, so bear with me for a bit.

I really hope the XDA community can help me getting the natural google experience back on this device. the hardware with PQ is really nice, Adam's Specific Programs run well, but UI is a bit beta still with some FC.

How is the touchscreen in terms of sensitivity? Also is there any give to the display when you press on it?
[Adam General] inspiron41:
The screen seems very responsive. seems comparesble to the nexus one minus the screen issue

[Adam General] clockcycle:
Thanks for the walk though.

BTW, Appbrain uses official Android Market for access, so since it isn't on the Adam, it can't work.

Care to try applnet and or the other "alternate" markets?

[Adam General] REAVER117:
How is the Pixel Qi in terms of brightness/evenness? Are the colors washed out enough to make you consider the LCD model? Thanks again for the walk-through!
[Adam General] bemymonkey:
Video looks good, it's the only video of the Adam that I've watched without wanting to throw up.

How're you liking the non-backlit Pixel Qi? Decent for everyday use? Or only in situations where LCD has problems (sunlight) or battery saving?
[Adam General] inspiron41:
the non-backlit PQ is interesting. i dont know whether it's a good thing or bad thing long term, but for battery wise, it's a good thing. but i've been using it in color mode mostly. but with the PQ mode, the view angel are much better. I say it'll take a bit getting use to seeing things in b/w lol~~. It's like kindle but more responsive in a nutshell
[Adam General] benyameen:
What about in portrait mode? Saw some apps that you used in portrait, but what about like homescreen, facebook, twitter, etc. Was a bit saddened how the stock launcher seemed to be fixed to landscape.
[Adam General] zabaknilesh:
I am impressed.......!!!!!!!!wow ..:)
[Adam General] mcmahos1:
is there any website in particular you used to download the .apk files
[Adam General] inspiron41:
ADWLauncher is not locked in landscape mode. the home screen can rotate. it resizes the icons and widgets and it's not too bad. facebook can rotate too, but it's rotates according to the app as you see it on your smartphone
[Adam General] inspiron41:
posted some new videos for you guys
[Adam General] benyameen:
Thanks for the reply and video.

The biggest worry I had about the Adam was that it would only be usable in landscape mode - this is clearly not the case =]

Just can't wait for the next round of open orders... Definitely buying...
[Adam General] zabaknilesh:
inspiron41 : can you confirm that Adam comes pre rooted ..?

Are you able to install Super User ? Can you try VISIONary and post results here for Temp root..? or may be Perm Root..??
[Adam General] inspiron41:
i never rooted anything, but i'm following the development section carefully trying to learn as i go. i dont want to do anything to brick my device lol. i'll let you know when i figure things out
[Adam General] wonderwout:
It is not pre-rooted but rooting is work in progress:

http://notioninkhacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=345

Also NI had to release a complete recovery procedure due to an issue with the first update. This procedure includes a bootloader and recovery image :D which should recover any bricked device.

[Adam General] ptok:
2-finger Rotation on Google Maps

I noticed on one of your videos that the two finger rotation on Google Maps is not working. There is a file called /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml that tells Android about the hardware. I don't have my Adam (yet -- 1/29 shipping -- I hope), so I can't check. However you might check if the the following permissions are included:

<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen" />

<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch" />

<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct" />

These are needed for "independently-trackable multiple-finger multitouch," or so it says in the associated xml file (that you could alternately include if it exists in the same directory):

<feature name = "android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml"/>

Good luck.
[Adam General] inspiron41:
/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml

where do i start looking for that file? on root drive?
[Adam General] ptok:
Oops sorry, its /system/etc/permissions

[Adam General] inspiron41:
i tried, but i couldnt edit or insert the revised file....suggestions?

meanwhile check out the new video with the market installed :)
[Adam General] ptok:
If you have adb installed on your pc you can adb pull the file off, edit in on the pc, and then adb push it back.
[Adam General] inspiron41:
i found a guide. sounds simple. i'll give i a try tonight. from the instructions i found, pulling files from the device sounds simple. but what about pushing? where do i put the modified .xml file to have it pushed onto the device?
[Adam General] bemymonkey:
Same place you'd pull to ;)

Easiest way is to either put ADB in your path variable, so you can use it from any directory, or just put the file you're going to push in the same directory that you've got your ADB.exe in.

Then, provided you're in that directory already, all you need is

adb push fileToPush /targetFolder/fileToPush

:)
[Adam General] ptok:
i.e.,

adb pull /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml

to get the file from your Adam and

adb push handheld_core_hardware.xml /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml

to put it back on your Adam.

Another cool thing you can do with adb is adb shell. That puts you in a unix shell on the Adam from your PC!
[Adam General] inspiron41:
oh i was asking where do i put the modified .xml file on the PC to get it pushed to adam? i'm guessing the same folder as the ADB?
[Adam General] ptok:
Put it in the same directory as adb is the quick and dirty way to get this done. If you add it to your path, as bemymonkey suggests, you can put it anywhere.

To do this in Vista you go to Control Panel> System>Advanced System Settings, Advanced tab Click on Environment Variables... Select Path from the System variables (lower) window and Edit.

At the end of the Variable value, add a ; and the path to adb, e.g., ;C:\Android\SDK\platform-tools\ , which is where I have it, then Click O.K., etc.
[Adam General] wonderwout:
inspiron41 you mentioned in Google Maps 2 finger rotation does not work. For the Nexus One this restriction was bypassed using a tweak.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880447

Now that you are rooted the same tweak might work on your NI. Mine is shipping today (hopefully) so cannot try it yet.
[Adam General] DesertEagle:
Thanks, it works! Modified the file on the device with Root Explorer.
[Adam General] inspiron41:
yah i tried it too and it worked like a charm :)

thanks so much! i'll post a quick guide to for others to follow. i'll give you credit ptok 100%
[Adam General] ptok:
I'm glad it worked. I did not invent the two-finger fix for my Streak. Unfortunately I just can't remember exactly where it came from to give proper credit.
[Adam General] inspiron41:
i looked up that feature and saw this code you can add too:

android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.jazzhand

Subfeature. The application uses advanced multipoint multitouch capabilities on the device screen, for tracking up to five points fully independently.

it should be located on the market.

[Adam General] joshua.lyon:
@inspiron41

Based on jushaddictive's comments in another thread, it looks like he's new to the scene.

@jushaddictive

The stock Adam software does not include the market. The market fix / gapps fix is included in a number of the update packages that can be found in the Development section of this forum. There are some "simple" packages such as Eden Basic Essentials or you can get into some packages that go a little deeper like StephenH's Perf Tweaked ROM or Utopia Beta.

Additionally, you can find more ROMs in the Roms / Mods / Hacking section of NotionInkHacks.

I know it is a pain, but I think it is always better to wipe. Just like windows upgrades. Sure, you can do them, but you are playing with fire. Usually there will be odd issues that can't be explained and yo end up starting clean anyway.

This will help you but you need to go to the market and download superuser then install this screenshot from your sd.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberTod:
Hello,

I found today a version of the default htc_ime with included cyrillic(bulgarian) language in it and tried to install it. The guide said to replace the .apk file in /system/app. I did that, restarted the phone and now the Touch Input method is missing in the options and missing when i try to change the input method.

Before replacing the file I kept a copy of the original on the sdcard. When things went wrong i copied my original file back to /system/app and restarted, but the problem remains. Still I don't have the Touch Input (htc_ime) keyboard present.

What else could go wrong when copying that file, what else could have changed, and how can I restore it ?

Yes I know i should have done a nandroid backup before doing that, but just thought nothing can go wrong, silly me ..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKebapp:
Did you change the permissions via chmod to 640 / rw-r-r ?

If not this could be the Problem...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberTod:
This could be the problem. The other files in /system/app as seen in root explorer have permissions rw-r--r--, but the file I have copied has ---rwxr-x. My original file also has these, so i guess they are changed when I copied it through adb shell. I will change them when I get home and post an update of the situation.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKebapp:
You should be able to change the permissions from within RootExplorer.

A while after the track ball was almost totally busted, I purchased a new digitizer on eBay, it works perfectly, (this post is the evidence..) I had to open and move the connector about 10 times before it worked well, but this definitively fixed it :-)
