[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
The adb remount error is expected (the command requires your ro.secure prop to be set to 0, which you can't do until you have rooted).

So you were able to copy files to the SD card? Just to verify again, you should try mounting the SD card to you computer (so it shows up as a device on your computer's file explorer), copy over a file, unmount the card from your computer (and remember to also hit the button on phone to do so), and then try the ADB push commands again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Ok, with the phone on plug it into your computer and mount USB storage. Drag and drop 'su' and superuser.apk into the sdcard then unmount USB storage. Make sure USB debugging is on at this point (you'll see it in the notification task bar). Do these commands:

adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*

Then in the terminal app type:

/data/local/tmp/rage

You'll see some message pop up saying something about 'forked #### childs' and that's temp root. Then follow the instructions on running gfree to gain full root. Btw, you can just copy and paste all those commands if you think you'll make a mistake.

You may also be able to run the '/data/local/tmp/rage' command with the 'adb shell' command, never tried it myself though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guhl99:
Oh come on !!! :-)

the path separator in linux (and the phone is a linux computer) is / and not \ !!!

So the command is:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push su /sdcard/su

Just to tell you something about the unix shell:

The \ char is a so called escape character that you use to tell the shell that it should not ignore the next character even if it is a white space (i.e. space)

You would use it if you have to specify a path that contains spaces:

i.e.:

mkdir dir\ with\ 3\ spaces

will create a directory with the name "dir with 3 spaces". This would not work without the \ characters.

Anyone know why the widget is missing? or was there never a widget to begin with? and if that is the case.. any suggestions on music apps that have widgets haha

I had the same problem with you. I own an Euro version Tab and I flashed P1000JPJM4 (I didn't know that it is arabic) and had the same symptoms after that.

I believe that P1000JPJM4 have signed kernel just like P1000XXJM* series.

I tried to flash P1000BUJI4 which was my previous version but I got errors in odin.

I flashed P1000XXJM6 which also has signed kernel and my tab come to life.

After that I did the roto patch to unsign kernel (May RotoHammer and everyone helped the patch project, live long and happy!!!!) and after that I flashed P1000BUJI4 with success.
[Galaxy Tab General] Roufosso:
can you poat a link to roto patch please.
[Galaxy Tab General] al-motamel:
flash this rom with odin 1.7 select re-partition no pit file

I've flashed my AT&T Galaxy tab.

I've run the whole process described in a video at Galaxy Tab forum and everything went well, except the last boot (JHA.tar, P1_20100909.pit and Roto-JMA.tar

At the final booting with the new firmware, the screen is black. Only the AT&T logo flashes for a second

I have no option to go to the recovery mode. The Samsung logo does not appear also. When power it on, it seems to be working but the screen is black (I've hear the jingles and the vibs of a "normal" boot)

I've rooted the tab before to be able to run the "bootloader application" from Roto (which told me I'm safe).

Do you have any suggestion on what to try?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Tab General] kikobarcelona:
I've fixed the black screen problem just loading the JJ4 bootloaders.

I've searched on XDA and follow the suggestion from ROTO.

It is now working perfect.

Help!!! I've been following this Viewsonic G Tablet forum and just about to purchase the Viewsonic G at Office Depot sale for $379! And then just a minute ago, Costco is selling Samsung Galaxy Tab for $399 no contract required. For no contract, there is 1st month data plan of $20(cancel after 1st month) and $35(refundable with 2 yearcontract) for activation fee.

Help!!! I'm torn!! Dual Core/10inch or singlecore/7inch-portability

I'm getting a headache!
[G Tablet General] filterking:
I have both of these tabs. Out of the box the Samsung is ready to roll, I could do anything pertaining to my business with out adding apps. It is a solid performing device, I have had no issues at all with mine. Its plenty fast. All the Market apps I have added installed and work without any fuss.

The Gtab is great fun I really enjoy trying the great work of the developers here at XDA and it can be made to run circles around the Samsung, but it is an addicting time consuming device. If you like to tinker get the gtab, if you need to be productive. I think the Samsung is the better choice, it's reliable and just works when I need it. The Samsung is the tablet I take with me out of the office. The gtab is my free time entertainment. At $399.00 I think the Samsung is a steal, I paid considerably more for mine and don't regret it.
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
ahhh... that's the beauty of the return policy. I too wanted a Galaxy Tab but held off and so glad I did. I dont think I could use a 7" tablet as it's not much bigger than my phone (probably slower too).

Just our of curiosity? Where did you see $399 NO contract, when I checked Costco, it showed $399, new service / upgrade / add-a-line from Verizon only?
[G Tablet General] rushless:
OP might have missed th contract part. A $400 Galaxy Tab would mean instant gloom and doom posts by the Apple fan site known as Engadget ;)
[G Tablet General] vnox:
oh, no 2 year contract, only the first month data $20, then u can cancel that. I just read the $35 activation fee is refunded on 2 year contract, let me add that on title. Go to Costco.com then Electronics, Cell Phones, then Tablets & Data Cards Category.

[G Tablet General] stanglx:
I own the G Tablet BUT have used the Galaxy Tab for work. Here is how I see it:

Galaxy TAB:

PRO:

Great form factor - if you prefer smaller screen

Amazing quality screen

Light weight

Strong Community Support

Supported by Vendor

CON:

Poor performance in stock form- especially if your coming from the GTablet, any of the higher end google phones or any of the apple products (ipad or iphone)

Community Support limited to GSM models mostly - more focus on NON-American carriers (though are supported eventually as long as it supports GSM)

Contract - after 2 years you could have bought a small used car for the price of this device.

Less future proof - still questionable if it will support Android 3.0 (2.4)

Questionable vendor support - Updates dont come frequently

GTAB

PRO:

Very fast without stock interface

Amazing community support - even for amateur

Amazing price point

Very future proof - Dual Core, 512 Meg of ram

Very large internal storage

No Contract

CON:

Screen quality is horrible in portrait and acceptable in landscape but with poor viewing angles.

Need to be somewhat tech savvy to play around with performance enhancing OS's.

Heavy for an e-reader though it doesn't bother me.

Little no vendor support - questionable with recent posts of whether or not Viewsonic will support this in the future.

How long do you want to wait before replacing it? If you buy a gadget ever couple years, get the GTab, it will be running the latest and greatest for at least the next year, and not feel outdated compared to the market options until a year following.

If you are one of these gadget lovers who gets a toy every 6 months then the galaxy may be worth your while as you'll be able to resell it better than the gtab in 6 months when you get a new android 3.0 tablet to replace it.

[G Tablet General] sanvara:
I would never go for a 7" tablet as my only tablet. That's too small for comfortable web browsing. I would only get a 7" in addition to a 10". A 10" tablet is the perfect size for browsing and the processor on the g-tab is top of the line.
[G Tablet General] 999ping:
There is a BIG difference between a 7" and 10" screen. Highly recommend you go look at and play with an example of each, in person before you decide. I did and as others have said, a 7" screen just didn't seem big enough but the 10" form factor is perfect for a tablet in my opinion. YMMV.

:)
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
I have both a 10" (g tablet) and a 7" (eLocity A7) and can tell you that they both have their place. 10 is great for viewing content and web surfing. The 7" tablet is just really handy easy to hold and carry with you. I have found myself using the the 7" tablet more often lately. If I'm on the go I will grab the A7 nine times out of ten.

Now I will also say having a powerful Tegra2 chip is nice and both devices are fast, but if you not able to run the apps you want that extra powqer does little for you. I bet both of my device could run Google Earth faster and smoother than the Galaxy Tab, except I have yet to get either device to run Google Earth. Great hardware means little if the sofware dosen't run right.

Now, I love my tegra2 tablets and just hope in time the kinks will get worked out and I can runs all the apps I like. I can't say I have a lot of faith the Viewsonic and eLocity (Stream TV) will deliver, I just hope the XDA community is able to pull it off.
[G Tablet General] vnox:
thanks everyone! ok ok

gTablet Office Depot sale ends 1/29 for $379.

Galaxy Tab -Costco and Best Buy have it both for $399 but Costco has 90day refund and 2 year warranty.

From what I read I like the Samsung's 7inch for tag-alongs, and GPS(?) not mentioned on Samsung's website for Verizon.

Viewsonic's gTablet's got power, Anandtech test shows lots of muscles. Honeycomb would just be right around the corner.

I've done custom roms on other devices before so I'm comfortable with that. And now I'm leaning towards Viewsonic GTablet at 95%

I wonder which plays Bejeweled Blitz without issues, standalone of through Facebook
[G Tablet General] mooneyb:
I checked out the sears outlet deal from the store in Nevada. They have a standard shipping fee of $65.

When the lady on the phone told me that i said yall must not really want to ship things, and she just kind of laughed.
[G Tablet General] vnox:
I bought the gTablet Saturday, Sears had it for $379, wrong price on the tag but they were able to give it to me.

This thing is Double Rainbow Awesomeness! Viewing angle? it's fine!

Got it to latest Vegan, no issues there.

Launcher Pro, even Bejeweled Blitz Facebook worked flawlessly.

Thanks everyone! I'll try every custom ROM available soon, if I can get it away from my wife and 2 girls(10 and 6year old)

The gTablet is one solid product! I'm glad I chose it over the Galaxy.

Is the g2 only able to play 3pg? I tried playing mp4 but does not work. Any ideas?

Sent from my G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
What app are you using? I'm pretty sure media players like RockPlayer and VPlayer play mp4's just fine (don't have any on my phone right now to check though).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
MP4 is a container format, so different MP4s might have been encoded in different ways (e.g. frame rate, frame size) by different encoders.

It's a lot more complicated than something like MP3.

So just because one MP4 won't work doesn't mean that a different MP4 may not work either.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Good point. Though almost all MP4s use the H.264 or H.263 codec (with some of the older ones still using MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 streams, but even those will more commonly use an avi container or mpg). All of these are supported by RockPlayer (and I think VPlayer), though there may be stuttering issues if the frame size is too large or bitrate is too high.

For the OP, what exactly did you mean by playing the mp4 file did not work?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bstylz911:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
What app are you using for playback though? The built-in one? That one has very limited support for video file types (I think H.264, H.263, and MPEG-4 SP). I think MP4's have to use the H.264 codec. If you want to play other types of files, you will need to download another app that has this support.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieatrocks:
Hi there.

First off, please forgive my posting this thread into the general, but I'm still restricted to posting replies in the dev subsection where the Darky thread is at.

I'm a Bell vibrant user, and I'm having big issues with Darky's 9.0.2; my first custom ROM.

I updated from ugjl2, so I have the sbl.bin that [hopefully] avoids the corrupt SD issue.

I downloaded darky and speedmod kernel to get a CWM. I flashed the speedmod with ODIN fine. I then added the ROM to my internal SD and used CWM to apply it. All went well. I used the full wipe ROM.

Now that I'm running Darky's though, it's wonderfully smooth and responsive except that every once in a while, when I press the BACK button, it just hangs.... for like, 45-120 seconds or more. I get impatient and hit HOME and it snaps a screenshot; as if I were pressing both buttons simultaneously. Locking the screen with the power button then unlocking seems to help most, but not all of the time.

Is this because I'm using the VooDoo kernel (default option) without applying the VooDoo lagfixes? Darky states that this ROM automatically uses the ext4 filesystem, which should negate the need for the voodoo lagfix. Would I be better off to just apply the default lagfixes in CWM or reflash with the speedmod kernel selected in darky's configurator?

What are other culprits that could cause he otherwise fast system to hang on pressing back.... there doesn't seem to any pattern to when it happens that I can find... but it does happen quite a bit.

I searched the forums for this, but found no hits, any help is appreciated and TYIA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jscurtu:
You can grab the "android Terminal emulater " from market .. Type in "mount " and See your partitions and filesystems.. i dont think the default is ext4, its rfs..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieatrocks:
You're absolutely right.

All of my partitions seem to be RFS.

Odd though because in the features section of darky's thread it says explicitly that it converts all partitions to ext4. Oh well.

What's the recommendation then? Shouldn't RFS also not require lagfixing? I thought it was the samsung ext2 partitions that caused the lag.

In any case, this doesn't feel like regular lags, the system straight up hangs on pressing the back button sometimes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhousibo:
ieatrocks,

I would check that the lagfix is installed.

I upgraded to Darky's v8.1 on Sunday just before v9.0 came out. v8.1. did not have lagfix installed by default so I manually ran through CWM which is there is an option to run. This made things smoother.

I then flashed to v9.02 this morning and it feels faster and smoother. My understanding is that you do not need to uninstall lagfixes and not that it is automatically installed but please check in CWM. I think the only option to convert is ext4. RFS is the laggy one which is why it converts to ext4. I also enabled all of the recommended tweaks.

Hopefully, this will give you what you expect as the experience is great for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieatrocks:
Ok, trying both voodoo default options now. Will report back in a few. Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhousibo:
I noticed the very odd stutter but not as bad as you mentioned. Have you checked the recommended tweaks? Other option is a wipe if possible. For me, this is a whole lot better than I've ever had ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demeryus:
I'm surprised, running Darky's new rom and don't have any lags. I'm not running any lagfixes since android 2.2.1 therefore still on the RFS.

I'm using speedmod kernel though, I had some reboot problem with voodoo on Darky 8.0 . Maybe you should try to fully wipe it clean and reinstall after backing up your data, that's what i usually do, it's better to start fresh!

your post should be deleted...

The Rom doesn't apply by him self any lag fixer.

Use the configurator with option WIPE, reapply Darky Rom and them post issues...

There is a reason why you are not allowed in developer section...

Read the post and use the F******ING SEARCH FUNCTION
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieatrocks:
I used the search function. Do you have any idea how many false hits about generic lags I got? I spent a couple of hours looking before posting my detailed situation here.

Darky's by default uses the full wipe option if you're on any rom other than a previous version of Darky's; so my install was a full WIPE. I stated that pretty obviously in my first post. Why you would fly off the handle and start cursing out new users without having the common courtesy or sense to actually read what they wrote before presenting yourself as some sort of rageaholic on a forum is just bizarre.

Thanks to the guy who suggested I look into the firmware update; I can run with that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieatrocks:
Found that thread and everything is fixed now!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869492

Updated my firmware in Darky's and lost both buttons, Turned off the lagfixes, flashed back to ugjl2, updated the touchkey firmware, reflashed speedmod for CWM, and finally re-applied Darky's with a full wipe.

Perfect!

No lagfixes applied on this fresh install yet and everything is working great.
