Post 1! Pure Apps .. applications with a function

Post 2! Games .. something to get those fingers tapping

Post 3! Customization .. apps that will make your homescreen or other apps look like you want them too

This post is to make your homescreen a little nicer or behave the way you want it to!

Launcher Pro

Launcher pro at first seems like a stripped down version of sense but as you get more used to it you will notice that it's a completely different thing altogether. It will allow you to customise the amount of homescreens the transition when you move from one to the other and allows you a clean canvas for widgets and icons. It will also allow you a bigger homescreen where you can switch the amount of rows and columns. This launcher gives you so many options it's unreal.

FREE

CLICK

TIP! Download home switcher to switcher to switch between Launcher and sense.

TIP! If you decide to stick with launcher pro ensure your sense home screens are clear - this will reduce battery usage.

Home Switcher

Allows you to switch between launchers.Standard and Froyo versions available.

FREE

CLICK

Desktop Visualizer

Desktop Visualizer allows you to change icons on your homescreen to add custom icons for things such as apps bookmarks etc.Icons can be downloaded and selected from your sd card to add a bit of class to your icons and your homescreen. Very handy if you are trying to stay with one theme for everything.

FREE

CLICK For icons please see this thread and give thanks to those who are making themICONS

SiMi

SiMi is a folder app that allows you to put various different types of folder onto your homescreens. Nothing that Android won't already do for you except this tool has the added bonus of making invisible folders (see attached video link) you can still tap the folders and it will come up with a list of apps within them but when folders are closed you can see all of your wallpaper. Useful for those who want a clean homescreen but still want to be able to open apps from the homescreen.

FREE

CLICK	VIDEO

Beautiful Widgets

Beautiful widgets give you more selection for making your homescreen look a little more customized. Includes clock weather and toggle widgets and over 300 skins to change the look. Only downside to this app is there is no free version (feel free to correct me). Useful for those with a custom ROM or those who just want a different look.

$2.04

CLICK

Fancy Widgets

Simlar to beautiful widgets but has a free version with limited capability. Pro version also available with lots more options.

FREE / $1.99

CLICK

Wallpaper Wizardrii

Wallpaper utility allows you to crop wallpapers as well as disable the wallpaper scroll. Useful for those of you who want a static picture as your wallpaper without the landscape look. For custom ROM users please note this may have some issues if used with a landscape Gsensor homescreen.

[Galaxy Tab General] upperkingjr:
My tab did a OTA update this morning, 49mb SPH-P100.DJ30.

http://community.sprint.com/baw/thr...8DF.app4jive1?start=0&tstart=0&reqsorting=dec
[Galaxy Tab General] texasreb:
Did it unroot your tab or any other bad thing? I have not seen this update on my sprint tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] mmathai77:
yes, if your update does succeed. It WILL unroot the Sprint Tab.

z4root WILL NOT WORK after the new update, it will just crash.

SUPERoneCLICK root software WILL work though! =]

Also make sure your LCD DPI Density Level is set to stock 240, and make sure if you replaced such files like WPA_SUPLICANT, to the one that supports AD_HOC to tether data from your cell phones to your TAB, You have to replace it Back with the STOCK WPA_SUPPLICANT in order for the Update to succeed.

Also another user had a problem with failed update due to him replacing the Gallary3d.apk with a non-stock one. So make sure you restore your stock gallary3d.apk if you ever replaced it.
[Galaxy Tab General] mardukeme:
Does the update fix the HID Bluetooth issue?
[Galaxy Tab General] AlpineM3:
Ive always used my tab over WiFi and I just tried to update the profile, prl and firmware, but no luck.

Anybody have thoughts as to why it says Fail?

I am rooted with z4root btw
[Galaxy Tab General] mmathai77:
read my other comment in ur other post.

OTA updates work just fine on WIFI only. I use my tab as WiFi only.

The Update Firmware/Profile features do not work on settings app if u use wifi only, but your not missing our on anything trust me.

You will see the OTA update soon, leave your WiFi on, and eventually other the next couple days youll see it.

If you want it now, jus download the file and install it. Its much easier, no need to wait.
[Galaxy Tab General] AlpineM3:
I shut the tab down and booted it up again, the update showed up.

The new widgets are great . Thanks for the prompt response
[Galaxy Tab General] mmathai77:
anytime.

Noticed Changed (Myself):

- Darker Hues, The previous bright blues are now Darker dull blues

- Widgets (3 new ones)

- Ram Management App

- Task Manager

- Clearing ram seems to free up a little bit more now.

- Ram seems to be used a little less

- Boot Logos (HORRIBLE SPRINT LOGOS, YUCK, I want my samsung logo back)

- Breaks root, z4Root does not work - use SuperoneClick

- GPS locked into my location Noticably faster in the same spot INSIDE my house within 10 seconds, where it usually takes anywhere from 30-40seconds. Who knows. Maybe just a coincidence?
[Galaxy Tab General] AlpineM3:
I like some of the changes.....subtle, but tasteful.

I uninstalled z4root since u mentioned it broke root, but superuser is still present nor can I uninstall it....

U mentioned superoneclick, where could I fund that and do you even recommend rooting again? I ask because I feel like us sprint tab owners are left behind and there aren't really many upsides to being rooted at this point.....no quality roms are anything. What are u rockin? Thanks again
[Galaxy Tab General] zylogz80:
There's a really annoying bug after this OTA update. The notification drawer pull down animation is now very choppy. Also, if there's anything animated going on when you pull down the drawer the frame rate will drop dramatically. This is a real step back; it used to be perfectly smooth.
[Galaxy Tab General] SDW90808:
Since I ran the update this a.m., I seem to be stuck in USB debugging limbo. It's grayed out and the green check mark is on but feint, so I can't seem to use the SuperOneClick app.

Any ideas?

I was previously rooted but that went away. Also, I forgot... how do I reset the darn thing? TIA
[Galaxy Tab General] notinkeys:
I had notification it was downloaded, but when i went to apply it, the upgrade failed. My Tab is very stock, though I do have Z4Root installed (though, like my Evo, Z4 never did work.)
[Galaxy Tab General] CodeRedEd:
Market issue?

Has anyone else noticed a difference in the market after the OTA update? Searches on known apps come up blank.
[Galaxy Tab General] ORam78:
I have z4root and the update went though on mine just fine.
[Galaxy Tab General] mmathai77:
it might not of installled, check your about my galaxy tab under the settings app. is it EA24?
[Galaxy Tab General] tcabw:
The Update failed to complete, but it unrooted my Tab and Z4root fails to complete the operation when run.

Real nuisance I can yell you!

I see someone reckons SuperOneClick will work. I haven't got around to linking my Tab to a PC and it appears thats the only way to get the proggy to work??

cheers

Tony C
[Galaxy Tab General] ORam78:
HA!!! I just check and it looks like it didn't take!!! Well there you have it. Now Im curious if the update will show again. Hmmm.....

Also, manual install will not work....
[Galaxy Tab General] mmathai77:
It failed for me on the ota and manual,

It failed due to first, wpa_supplicant i switched from the stock to the one that suppoorts adhoc. So i put the stock one back. Then i tried it again and it said buildprop error.

I looked into that and it was cause i changed the lcd density of the stock from 240 to 180. So i changed it bak.

Then it worked.

Also if you changed any of the stock software it will fail as it verifys the correct files before update.
[Galaxy Tab General] bdejong11129:
So is ea24 the new version or the old one? I got the update don't know if it took. I am rooted with superclick and all root functions are still working.
[Galaxy Tab General] ORam78:
Thats the new version
[Galaxy Tab General] RADroid:
One things for sure the screen looks a lot better.
[Galaxy Tab General] tcabw:
My update said it failed, but it is showing EA24.

I installed SuperOneClick and it says that it has rooted it successfully, however I can't get Root Explorer to work. It says there is a problem with SuperUser.

[later edit]

After an hour or so of fiddling, root explorer sprang into life and enabled me to re-copy the files back over and restore the wireless hotspot link.

Any clues??
[Galaxy Tab General] dragon1022:
I lost rotation after the EA24 update!!!!! Took it back to Sprint the exchanged it with a working one. The Sprint Rep and I proceed to do the update and no auto rotation.
[Galaxy Tab General] tcabw:
Can you turn off OTA updates on a SPH-P100?

I've only had my Tab for a few weeks. I'm in NewZealand and this was the first OTA update for me. I can't remember whether I had a choice to accept it or if it installed automatically. Is there a way of turning firmware updating off?

cheers,

Tony C
[Galaxy Tab General] vanklay:
Things worse after update

1. Lost root: No too big a deal

2. Task bar pull down is slow and choppy:

3. The auto rotate works, but sometimes is goes back and forth.

4. Some apps seem slower to respond.:mad:

Sprint, do a better job. Now I think we need an update to fix your update!

I wish there was a good ROM to use instead of factory.

Anyone else have the issues I listed?
[Galaxy Tab General] nzaw4:
1: i lost root, but superoneclick method worked.

2: task bar was slow, but i now have bauxite's v3.7 1.4 OC kernel and everything flys.

3:Auto rotate worked stock, but lost it after flashing the kernel, but then Bauxite posted a fixed sensors.default.so on his thread, which fixed the rotation.

4: No notice of lag since im using the OC'd kernel.
[Galaxy Tab General] vanklay:
Are you happy with bauxite OC, everything working well? I will read up on it. Is it a real pain to install? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] nzaw4:
Super happy, and real easy if you already have odin or heimdall setup. No need to convert to EXT4.
[Galaxy Tab General] dragon1022:
which one did you use?
[Galaxy Tab General] nzaw4:
If you are referring to which kernel, just 2 posts up I said 3.7...
[myTouch 4G General] lanternslight456:
I'm trying to perm root my mytouch 4g using Visionary

I have android 2.2.1 and have successfully temp rooted using Visionary

I download the root folder from HERE

I put them in the root of the SD card and open up Terminal Emulator and type in

su

cd /sdcard/root

sh root.sh

when I type the first line (su) I get the # and am told that Terminal Emulator has been granted superuser permissions.

when I type in the second line (cd /sdcard/root) I get this message

cd: can't cd to /sdcard/root

What could be causing this?

Thanks

Jonathan
[myTouch 4G General] jggimi:
The "cd" command is a "change directory" command, and there is no directory called "root" on your SD card, because either you haven't unzipped what you downloaded, or you unzipped it in the wrong place.

Unzipping what you downloaded creates a directory (or a "folder", if you're a Windows user) called "root" that has several files in it -- a kernel module and a script, if I remember correctly. The script loads the kernel module and makes a call to it in order to set S Off.
[myTouch 4G General] lanternslight456:
thank you much, I think I figured out the problem. I'll try again later and see what happens. I'll post back with the results later. Thanks again!

Jonathan

NOTE: Ok, I can now run through the

su

cd /sdcard/root

sh root.sh

commands but when it's done and I check for s-off I don't have it (I still have s-on)

I've tried this twice to no avail. any advise?
[myTouch 4G General] kenrippy:
i am having the same problem. i've tried this method about 15 times, mostly with visionary r14, but also a couple times with r11. i have also tried the gfree method a couple times as well via the semi-automated method. no s=off!

i have a new MT4G direct from phone upgrade order. i've read of others who have rooted the MT4G before multiple times, but can't do it now with a new phone. i'm wondering if it's something HTC has changed with the newest releases.....
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
HTC was going to install a measure that would prevent "rage methods" from working on their phones. How ever, none of the tech blogs are reporting that this has been rolled out. So i doubt that is the case.

make sure the its set up as sdcard/root. If you've just extracted the folder and copied the extraction to the sdcard it's not set properly.
[myTouch 4G General] kenrippy:
yes, i understand the root folder in the root of the sdcard, and not 2 root folders. (sdcard/root/root)

like i mentioned, i read posts from a couple people on here with the same problems with new mt4g's after having done it multiple times before with success.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
then set up the ADB (see my sig) and do it the long way.
[myTouch 4G General] kenrippy:
after doing that, would i start on #4 in this guide?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
nope you would start @ number 1.

you need to download those files and check the MD5SUM of every download load. the files need to be PERFECT for it to work correctly.

and i cannot stress enough. take your time and read directions. Read through the list a few times and make sure you have a good understanding of what you are doing. Doing that wrong can make your phone an expensive paper weight.

instead of pushing stuff to the "SDK tools folder" you store it to the ADB folder TrueBlue had you create in his walkthrough. And make sure to change your target folder to "c:\adb".

and remember you are choosing to do this. so if you screw it up. it's on your shoulders not mine.
[myTouch 4G General] kenrippy:
thanks for all the help/info. i'll hold off for a while to see what else unfolds in the coming weeks in regards to alternate root methods. i don't want to brick this thing, just to get it rooted.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
The way this phone is made it's going to be pretty difficult to write a "one click s=off" program.

If you are wanting the benefits of being rooted you can always use VISIONary.apk when you need the root features like AD-HOC tethering or Screen Shots.
[myTouch 4G General] kenrippy:
what i'd really like to do is remove some bloatware and demo games. (not just hide them) any way to do that aside from perm root?
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
not really. As soon as you reboot they'll pop right back up.
[myTouch 4G General] kenrippy:
ok thanks.
[myTouch 4G General] lanternslight456:
Two things.

1. I've decided to put off perm rooting until I can understand adb and use it properly. No need to rush, I've got time.

2. Is it true that given time, effort, and ingenuity there really isn't such a thing as a bricked phone? It can always be recovered, it's just a question of how far you have to go to do it?

I've read around a lot and though I've heard many people talk of bricking their phone, it seems like many say that if you can use things like adb commands you can pretty well fix any issue, it's just difficult.

Like I was saying in point 1, I'm newer to all this and I'm learning so thanks for answering!

Jonathan
[myTouch 4G General] jggimi:
At minimum, I believe the phone requires a functioning bootloader in order to be able to connect via USB to fastboot.
[myTouch 4G General] SharksFan1:
Any update on this? I also just got a mytouch 4g yesterday and am trying to root it. Is it possible right now?
[myTouch 4G General] Punkfloyd138:
Root the mt4g

Friend, I used the adb method here on xda, after I got the forked childs msg, and restart terminal w/e, make sue to pull out battery. Restart, the LAST THING I DID WAS USE VISIONARY r14, to attempt permroot, took me a week before I figured out to try this, the guide said phone would be rooted after terminal commands went through. So, to recap if u entered everything correctly, (my avg protection was telling me my phone was rooted for a week after I pushed gfree using the adb method but had no s-off, tried visionary permroot, BINGO!) THANKS TO ALL THE HARD WORK/GUIDES ON XDA, using ICE GLACIER ROM, titanium backup, rom manager, root explorer, my internet security (ad free web) set cpu, cache cleaner ng, drocap, couldn't get barnacle to work, the tethering on board works fine. Quadrant standard for benchmarking.
[myTouch 4G General] danger-rat:
My wifes mt4g arrived today, and I had it perm rooted, with s-off in about 20 minutes, following this guide from the wiki:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996
[myTouch 4G General] hackulous:
dude this method is great especially if your a noob or cant use adb for whatever reason just use visionary for temp root and then using root explorer move the gfree file to data>local then open terminal emulator and follow the instructions that gives you s-off and allows you to use visionary to permaroot when you reboot and then rommanager it now supports 3.xx so you can flash gingerroms just be careful and have fun :)
[myTouch 4G General] danger-rat:
Yeah, I thought it was pretty easy, even though I'm pretty familiar with adb, etc (rooted my Nexus via manual method almost a year ago). I was actually looking for a manual approach, but wasn't having much luck...
[myTouch 4G General] chipis:
try akaskriller.com and follow the direction on how to root your mt4g
[myTouch 4G General] xskyzx:
hi, i have the same problem but cant figure out what i did wrong,

unzipped the root file and i dragged the root folder into my sdcard "dcim" and i still get that cd: can't cd to /sdcard/root. any helps? thanks
[myTouch 4G General] shlongwoodian:
Most common issue is, people extract the 'root' folder without realizing there's ANOTHER 'root' folder within.

Notice the script wants you to cd /root as opposed to cd /root/root.

Double check your folder and make sure you're truly only copying over the root folder that contains the .sh.

File management is critical.

[[[Ice Glacier beats Rock ~ via XDA App]]]
[myTouch 4G General] xskyzx:
yea i copied the root files that only cantained hboot_dhd.nb0, Root.sh, wpx.ko
[myTouch 4G General] danger-rat:
"dcim" is a folder on your sdcard, so you have the files in /sdcard/dcim/root...
