[Galaxy Tab General] qury:
Hi,

I couldn't find a tutorial either, and I had to figure it myself. So here is a little help, that might work.

- get a custom ROM (most come with kernels that have tun support

- get vpnc from the Market

- add vpnc widget to your. "Desktop"

- start vpnc from your application drawer and configure connection parameters

- go back to your desktop and click on the vpnc widget

That should be all, hovewer I found out that even though I was successfully connected to the corporate Von I still couldn't reach the servers.... and that is because my kernel doesn't support advanced IP routing.

So,people out there ..please let me know which kernel has advanced IP routing support. (Currently using speedmod.)
[Galaxy Tab General] gigadigit:
Any ways to get any kind of VPN working on Verizon Tabs without getting any custom roms?
[Galaxy Tab General] jkhouw1:
yes I have done that.

it does require permanent root but...

root

get tun.ko

Install busybox

get vpnc from mkt

that's really all I had to do.

if you search my posts I think I did a post with a little more detail.
[Galaxy Tab General] ssss25:
Hi,

I've got Galaxy Tab and I have done the tun.ko and the busybox, and the insmod, and link for ifconfig and route..

my vpnc connects, says connected and stays connected.. But I cannot reach anything int he vpn network.. if I do "ip link show"... kind f like doing ifconfig -a on linux, I can see the tun interface, but it's down.

Is this really about advanced routing? If so, how come a lot of poeple on the forums are saying that they are succeeding in connecting fto CISCO vpn. It's worthless without being able to route there?!

Thanks,
[Galaxy Tab General] Bubisch:
Where do I have to put through tun.Ko?
[Galaxy Tab General] freeman9911:
root

get tun.ko

Install busybox

get vpnc from mkt and grant it root privileges

it's been working for me, the only thing is not working is the DNS. It seems when I am connected to the VPN I still can't access server by name, the only way is to use IP :(

if anyone solved that problem, please let me know
[Droid 2 Global General] yzak47:
halo all, i come from hongkong,

i have my d2G running GSM/UMTS signal, and also the call quality. I get 2 bars or sometimes only 1 bar as signal strength when set to GSM/UMTS.

even i set is to global, it doesnt improve much.

what is the solution:mad:
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
That's how it works unfortunately. In GSM mode it shows signal normally. It is UMTS mode where signal is always shown as weak (despite signal readings showing ok in settings/about).

Despite the low signal indication, phone doesn't seem to suffer from that. On 1 bar I get 6+ Mbps download speeds and I never had a dropped call or even degraded call quality. It could be a purely cosmetic issue (inaccurate signal strentht display).

I only get 4 bars in UMTS mode when facing the tower within 100-150 meters at most...
[Droid 2 Global General] xavier7:
Good to hear that, I suspected the same thing when I saw the signal bars on D2G and compared the speed with my N1 :)
[Droid 2 Global General] yzak47:
so the speed is as fast as your n1 , even it got only very little signal shown?
[Droid 2 Global General] xavier7:
yes its more or less the same.

[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Engadget has the article, but it would be a huge competitor for the xoom.

Http://engadget.com/default/article...honeycomb-for-th/&category=classic&postPage=1
[Xoom General] Bukem75:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/samsung-preparing-a-10-1-inch-galaxy-tab-2-with-honeycomb-for-th/

Would that be the link you were trying for? Yeah...

Anyway, great another 3.0 tablet. Made by samsung... Great. Will it be an official Android experience like the xoom? Does it have a dual core? Etc etc... We don't know.
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
I wouldn't buy a Samsung myself...I'd especially like GPS to work on my tablet.;)
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
More detailso leaked today:

The article also mentions that 10.1-inch Honeycomb tablet that we heard of yesterday, confirming it will pack a 1GHz dual-core processor, 8 megapixel camera with "full HD" video recording, and dual surround sound speakers. Sounds promising, but only time will tell whether all this is true or simply a matter of lost in translation.
[Xoom General] Bukem75:

[Xoom General] gogol:
I will buy this over Xoom

if

:

- It is confirmed (and reviewed) Google Experience Device (no TouchWiz etc!). This is the most crucial thing for any Android tablet that I might buy

- It is dual core (It should be comparable to Xoom)

- It has at least 1GB RAM

- It has the same or better battery life

- It has at least SUPER AMOLED screen (better if SUPER AMOLED Plus)

Then bye-bye Xoom :P

I am not worried about GPS, because I can trust my Nexus S for that (Or my wife old WinMo + external GPS lol!!!).

And I think, Samsung device is easier to hack (root) compare to Motorola, correct? More XDA dev support! :)
[Xoom General] Tico.ASandoval14:
Im sure it'll be announced at MWC in less than 12 hours from now. This is definately going to compete with the Xoom. Especially if it will be priced lower than the xoom, which i hope it does. As mentioned above, I hope it runs a dual core processor. I read it has a 8 megapixel rear camera. This tablet is BANGIN!
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
I need foolproof GPS because I'm going to be connecting the Xoom to my Nexus One via wifi hotspot so I can use the Xoom's 10in screen for Google Navigation without having to pay for data(unlimited on AT&T)...I can freaking hardly wait to see Google Nav on a tablet :D

Besides not being a fan of Apple, that's why I never bought a wifi only iPad. No GPS chip.
[Xoom General] gogol:
What does wifi hotspot via Nexus has anything to do with GPS in the tablet?

Ah yes, Google maps ... hmmm. For me, Google maps is just a "backup" for Sygic Aura :P

I can imagine you need GPS for mobile navigation, but I cannot picture myself putting the 10.1 tablet at the windshield :) Too big, and I don't think it is even legal (size wise)?

Oh, and I don't care with the camera either, because I will always carry my Nexus phone OR my digital camera. And it will look weird making photo with a tablet on the street!!! LOL!

Seriously, I would dreaming to have manufacturer that can tailor a tablet as customer order. Similar like Dell.com, which we can choose which component to be included. Certainly, I will exclude 3G/4G, rear camera, no use!!!
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
If the Samsung GPS has issues, I'll still get it and ask for directions as opposed to paying $1200 for the Xoom!!!
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
The Super AMOLED screen is doubtful (to me... it just doesn't seem likely for some reason), the dual-core CPU is a given, and I'm sure good battery life is also an obvious feature. I assume 1GB of RAM will be present as well.

And it looks like I was right: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-official-tegra-2-honeycomb-dual-camer/

This is what I think I want!
[Xoom General] gogol:
Lighter, I like that. But no words on RAM and no USB port?
[Xoom General] nashmage:
Samsung is also offering a 16gb model which should be cheaper and allow for more people to afford the tablet as compared to the Xoom. I have not seen any word of a micro sd card slot which would be disappointing if it did not have one.

The battery is also 6860 mah any idea how large the xooms is? Battery life should be similar per mah considering the specs are basically the same and running the same software.
[Xoom General] gogol:
I won't buy if there is no SD card slot.

That's silly.

Oh by the way, is it possible to charge this on USB power connected to a laptop for example?
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
It seems like Samsung tried to somewhat replicate the iPad.

This thing is missing lots of ports that many of the other Honeycomb tablets have.
[Xoom General] bd85:
No USB and HDMI port, that sucks big time.

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Xoom General] junks2010:
+1.

What is 1080p playback and 1080p recording for?
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Battery for the Xoom lasts 10hours..my dell streak 7 only lasts about 3 to 4 hours :(
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Would the removal of the extra peripherals (HDMI, USB, etc.) lower the price? Or does it not matter?
[Xoom General] jiwengang:
Lower the weight, mainly, then they boost the price because of lighter weights LOL
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moseso:
Due to careless typing and a few other reasons, I now have a list of 5 saved scenes in the "my scenes" section of the scene control panel -- only one of which is of any use to me. It's a small matter, really, but I'd like to clear the clutter. Is there a way to delete my unused scenes?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ammmma2:
Microsoft has decided to reach out a helping hand and publish a case study that details how to port an iPhone app to its Windows Mobile platform. Now Windows Mobile users may finally have access to the countless fart apps we so thoroughly enjoy.

The post on Microsoft’s Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) site is a case study that documents the experience of one iPhone app developer in porting the app Amplitutude to a device running Windows Mobile 6.5. The report itself was actually created by a third-party consulting group.

Amplitude is an iPhone app that is able to detect and amplify basically any sound directly around a user. The app was chosen for the porting project because it is difficult to port, so it should provide a good learning experience for Windows Mobile developers.

“It combines a rich user interface with features such as alpha blending and transparency with specific audio and sound requirements, which makes it challenging to port the app but, at the same time, provides a number of helpful learning experiences,” he wrote.

Microsoft intends to launch their Windows Marketplace sometime during the fall. As an incentive, they will be offering prizes for the most popular apps.

This is a logical move by Microsoft. What better way is there to lure developers over to your side than by simply having them port their already made apps with an step-by-step walkthrough? The incentives for the most popular apps obviously won’t hurt either.

Are any of you fed up iPhone developers intrigued by the idea of moving your apps over to Windows Mobile?
​
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tribulattifather:
In all actuality, this probably won't happen..

As a person who makes software, I wouldn't want anyone to reverse engineer my work.

I am sure that is the same for bigger corporations and little guys like me who make these apps.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zyphuris55:
I wouldn't mind if a person ported a game I made as long as the following are included in the port:

1) The port is of the completed game as specified by me

2) The project is finished to an acceptable state where no expected upgrades will be made

3) The game gives credit to the original source

A game being released by another person with different upgrades from the original and the port-dev isn't sharing knowledge of the upgrades before release, that's shameful on the port developer. Way to kick the original to the curb.

In the Amplitude port to WM, it includes where it's from, so I see it as acceptable. M$ taking the site off their servers in favor of more WP7 stuff, NOT ACCEPTABLE!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] esad (SE Xperia X2):
it is posibble? i need some of the iphone games..such as angry bird..help
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tasteslikeawesome:
Lol if this isn't a joke I suggest a iPhone is more suited for you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dotcompt:
And than he will have a very expensive brick with antena issues to play fun games.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zyphuris55:
By the way, Microsoft no longer has the site on how to port the iphone games to the WM platform. It's sad to say, but I'm losing faith in M$ knowing what to do in the smart phone department.

I'm using incrom 1.2 and can't find a way to hide texts from showing up in the notification bar. I had it set to only show a generic message on a few other roms but having no luck on this one. Any ideas
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosser725:
Assuming you are talking about making text messages not show up in the notification bar, go to the messaging app, then press Menu, then settings and there should be an option somewhere in there
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Yes just go to messaging > settings > and turn off notifications
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syde1020:
the only problem with doing this is that you get no notification at all. i would like to hear the sound or vibration or however i have it set, i just dont want it show it on in the notification bar.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeedragon:
You'll need an app to do this, it's not built into the ROM.

Try out MyCalculator in the Market. There's a free version, works great and you can setup virtual SMS messages for certain contacts. When a selected contact send you a SMS or MMS, you'll get a notification but you can control the text and icon that show up.

There are others as well. Maybe check out Handcent?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
Need help from a fellow liberty theme. I've been having problems theming .9.png's. It doesn't seem to matter if I decompile, theme, and recompile, or just use gimp/photoshop in or out of the file. I'm using an existing theme already I'm not building xmls or anything using the same resources. I'm also using draw9patch to draw the patches for when i decompile it. After recompiling it and or flashing it it either bootloops or it'll boot up but EVERYTHING will force close or all of the .9.png's are stretched weird and show the black lines I put in with draw9patch. Is there any themer that could share a step by step guide on how they do it or how to deal with theming .9.png's. any how to out there is not working and its getting really difficult not to give up. I'm sure it is probably my fault but theres no guides on this and I'm really trying to learn
[Droid X Themes and Apps] UnkleDuke:
It may not be the images causing your bootloops or FC's, but a different issue when recompiling. When you recompile, do you get .9 error messages? If not, try pulling out your images and adding them to the original framework-res.apk just through 7zip. If you do get error messages from the .9's while compiling then it is an issue with the guides not being drawn correctly.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
I didn't get any errors this last time. And I used archive manager on Linux to pull the images from the drawable hdpi folder to the one in the themes folder I'm using as a base and it is a liberty 1.5 theme and I'm using liberty 1.5 and everything was fc'ing
[Droid X Themes and Apps] joe772:
First, read this thoroughly:

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html

You take a .9, rename it to a regular .png. Open it, edit it, save it. (as .png still) open that .png inside of draw9patch, add your lines. Save the image (as a .9.png). Put the image into eclipse to recompile the image. (Make an unsigned .apk, and pull it)

This is the only way I've ever done it, and it works every single time. People saying that you should add the lines in photo shop or anything else are lucky I guess, caues I've never got that to work for me.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
I use draw9patch save it and put it in the drawable hdpi used apktool to compile and then just pulled em to the other drawable hdpi grrrrr
[Droid X Themes and Apps] camiam:
sometimes i take the png they give, open it up in photoshop and draw over the layers. that way the size resolution and other things remain the same except for the image
[Nook Color General] yl328:
Running Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.6 from eMMC --

I have noticed the following three problems with my Customized Nookie Froyo and I'd just like confirmation that you have this problem or whether you can provide a solution. In no order. They are--

(1) Gallery is nice with the 3D interface, but sometimes goes to a black screen and won't come back to life until I restart. After a shut down and turn back on, it's working fine again.

(2) Hardware decoding doesn't work for mp4s converted to a format the AppleTV can play (less than 480p). I get FC (gallery has unexpected quit) or just a black screen from the default video player. I got one file to play just fine for 2 minutes, but now, nothing at all. I am using Software decoding using Rockplayer. I'd like to see whether Software Decoding of AVIs is a big drain on battery. After a shut down and turn back on, hardware decoding is working fine again.

(3) Wifi seems super flaky. When I had 1.0.0 rooted, it would scan and find everything. Post froyo, the other day, it couldn't find my Verizon MiFi even though it was found a day before (my PC found it just fine). Today, when the Wifi was scanning at home, it couldn't find anything at all either -- like it wasn't turned on. After a shut down and turn back on, it's working fine again.

(4) Battery life is pretty bad, most noticeably in standby. Last night, I closed my NC at 85%, this morning, it's at 60%. Completely on standby. When it's being used, the battery drain is as expected. I checked Terminal and ran "top" before hand to see whether there was a specific drain and I didn't see anything.

I mean there are other issues, but these are kind of annoying cause it seems hardware related. I just want to know whether you guys have experienced any of these issues?

I thougt so but..

I'm on LOL rom, i've busybox (i use titanium Backup so i'm sure to have it), but if u use for example an app called Font Changer free on market, in order to change fonts it give this error:

"Write access for the system partition was not established on your device and therefore Font Changer will have to be closed. Please make sure your device has NAND unlocked before you try again."
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
I think /system is mounted as READ-ONLY. You have to mount it READ-WRITE.

I've already tryed. Root Explorer says that is mounted as r/w.

Maybe this apps has some problem with O1. :(

Any ideas as to why my hotspot stopped working? I tried it with the stock Mynet.apk and the Wireless tether for root users app. It used to work fine, then i did a couple things:

-I was on leaked .320

-I zip filed up to .340

-i flashed liberty 1.5

-Liberty1.5 chewed my battery, so i used .340 zip file to go back

-now my hotspot works, users can connect to my phone, but they don't get web access.

i followed procedures that i know, many wipes, restore apps from market, etc, but i have done something...

I did try the TBH hotspot patch, and i tried the un-patch, not working still.

any ideas?

My first Android application! BTmono

Description:

Simple app to stream audio to your bluetooth mono headset.

Released as donationware, so if you like it show your appreciation :)

Requires Android 2.2 or higher. Tested on stock HTC Evo 4G ROM (2.2) and CM7 RC1.

Notes:

- Make sure your headset is connected BEFORE clicking 'On'

- To use with Skype you must enable BTmono AFTER starting a Skype call.

- To reduce static, set the 'Media Volume' slider to max and reduce the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' via your phone/headset.

- This version contains a workaround for a bug in Android 2.2 which causes a system crash under certain circumstances. If you are on 2.2, do NOT disable Bluetooth while the stream is running or your phone WILL reboot (sorry - tell your phone manufacturer to move to 2.2.1+). The bug has been fixed as of Android 2.2.1.

Features:

- Widget!!

- Automatically enable Bluetooth on app launch (user can still choose not to allow this). Make sure your headset is actually CONNECTED before hitting 'On.'

- In-app 'Media Volume' control. Adjust the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' using the physical buttons on your phone or headset.

- Ongoing Status Bar notification while the program is running.

- Skype support (if enabled after call is started)

To-do:

- Possible - map headset button to 'next track'

- Other features?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Changelog:

v1.2

- fix crash on ICS

- fix status bar icons on Android 3.0+

- utilize new bluetooth "in-communication" mode for Android 3.0+. *Should* integrate better with VOIP apps, etc.

- automatically detect if user is on Gingerbread or greater - no need to select the Android 2.2.1+ setting in preferences. If you are on 2.2.1 you still need to select this for a cleaner shutdown when you press Off. There was no API level change between 2.2 and 2.2.1 so I can't (easily) do it for you automatically.

v1.1.1

- choose Android's color

v1.1

- Auto reconnect after phone call

v1.0

- Widget!

- Rewrite to eliminate disconnects (hopefully)

- Option for better shutdown on 2.2.1+

v0.3.1

- user prefs - Auto-On

v0.3

- small UI change - Android says hi

v0.2

- added in-app 'Media Volume' control

- added bluetooth check on startup

- added ongoing activity notification

v0.1 - initial release
