[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aal1:
Please let me start out by saying that I have two epics and a tab, all sprint. I read and post and donate regularly on the Epic4g forums. I'm not a newb, just someone that is trying to get the most out of his devices.

I have read about 70+ pages over multiple threads including the bible and other stickies, spent several if not tens of hours...and I have to say I'm just lost enough to need to post this.

Please no slams, just help and post your answer, or click to another thread and ignore. Thanks in advance.

1. Trying to get Ext4. It looks like Ext4 is *maybe* doable if you try using a verizon tab flash somewhere, but I dont see enough replies to make me comfortable enough that it works. I have a class10 SD card, similar to what I have in my epic that is all ext4. Any advice ?

2. Trying to apply OTA for Sprint - I am on DJ29 baseband and DJ30 build. Cant get the OTA to work, it goes about 11seconds into the install and then I get triangle with an exclamation next to Mr Android. Reboots automatically, update doesnt apply. I *am* rooted, with z4root. I already went to stock using Privacy, but didnt flash anything.

3. Recovery. So...no CWM for Sprint ? Rom Manager isnt the same thing.....and doesnt have an option for Sprint tab anyways. What is working for the sprint tab?

4. Flashing. Im used to Odin, saw Heimdall (never used that), and dont see any recovery working here for Sprint...so stopped there just in case. Also seen reference to SGS. What is recommended for Sprint users.

5 After I get Ext4 and OTA, would like to try a good combo of Kernel and Rom, preferably overclockable. This is different than the Epic in that there, we just do Rom, and Firmware doesnt seem to be much of an issue - everyone just uses a base of the DK28 hack release or the stock release. Seems there are more firmwares here, mostly not for Sprint.

And to answer the top of the thread poll about *REALLY* liking the idea of a Sprint only subforum....OMFG yes. That would really make a lot of this easier......

Thanks again for the help.....I appreciate it guys.

Im also in need of sprint tab help as well, i heard voodoo say that conversion was successful after flashing this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941781

however wouldnt boot and got stuck at the Samsung screen (boot loop)

since then i flashed this:

KhasMek.Voodoo.plus.CDMA.Tab.v2.zImage

and this together

KhasMek.DJ11.KleanMod.v2.ext4

still stuck at samsung, and now voodoo says "not enough space on partition" "system not available"

EDIT: i flashed back to sprint stock and all good

EDIT: i flashed KhasMek.Voodoo.plus.CDMA.Tab.v2.zImage again and still getting stuck at samsung after successful voodoo conversion.

Been stuck at the logo for ever think it has something to do with that hidden partition that tries to reinstall all your old apps -_-

This is exactly why I sold my sprint tab and got the t mobile tab. Just not enough support.

Someone got CWM to work on a sprint tab. You will just have to read the thread for that portion.

Good luck w/ getting what you need. It is tough to get stuff for the sprint tab.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buhlerbuhler:
Agreed, but now that i got flashing back to rooted stock figured out its a breeze to flash and try stuff, albieit there's not much to flash

Which Sprint stock did u use?? link plz
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boushh:
Okay, you guys that want the ext4 conversion for sprint, why don't you try this, get heimdall all set up, download koush's zImage (last I checked it was a bad link in his thread so I've mirrored it HERE) and perform this command

heimdall flash --recovery verizon_zImage --kernel verizon_zImage

that should convert you over to ext4 safely and allow you to boot into your system (note, my K-lean ROM probably won't work on sprint tabs, I haven't confirmed myself though). If you can't boot, it will allow you into ROM manager where you can try a factory reset and that should allow you to boot. If you can't convert to ext4 (system giving an error about free space) you should flash the stock kernel via that same method (both --recovery and --kernel) and factory reset. Then flash koush's kernel the way I mention above.

Then, you can safely flash my kernel, but be sure at this point I'm only recommending people to flash via --kernel with my kernel, not --recovery too. This is because my recovery is still not 100% (or even 50%) functional atm (soon, gawds I hope I fix it soon!) and it's nice to have something to fall back on when you need to clear the cache or factory reset. This also causes my kernel to have some issues with the conversion process, which is why sometimes it leaves people at the samsung screen after it claims to have converted properly.

I am currently using Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.3 and I love it to death. I would have posted in development, but being a noob, they won't allow me too.

My MMS will just not work. It worked the first day that I was using this ROM, but after that, it went all downhill. I know that there is an issue with wifi, but my wifi is off. I searched through the official thread and there is only one other person I found having a similar issue. This is IMMENSELY frustrating to say the least. I love this ROM, and would love to continue to use it. So, is there anyone outt there who could help a guy out?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeedragon:
The easiest fix by far? Flash to Skyraider :D

Hate to be "that guy" but seriously, there's a Sense-based and a Sense-less version so you can have it both ways. It's fast, great battery life and can be customized out the a$$. And if there's something from your current ROM you really can't live without, ping the developer and ask for it in the next Skyraider release. The guys a developing fiend, loves a challenge.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
Vanilla lock doesnt allow you to use the HTC world clock. If you happen to use both and an alarm starts sounding you cant turn it off. because of this most Mods for vanilla lock screen remove the world clock. This is what you are noticing.

I would just search the app marketplace for stop watch or other clock replacement ... there are tons of them. "beautiful widgets" clock i believe has all the components though it costs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
How would I go about removing the Vanilla lockscreen and replacing it with the Htc Lockscreen without reflashing the rom? Im really not in the mood to recustomize my theme again.

you would need to replace the HTClockscreen apk in system. If yuo ahve it backed up or saved youc an do that additionally youc an open your rom or theme's file and look for the apk under sytem/app and pull it out and push it back to your system app folder on phone.

Stealing this post from androidtablets.net from pbrauer, his exact instructions/quote:

"Making your Display Fingerprint-Free and Smudge-Proof for Nook.

This was originally from me for the ViewSonic G-Tab, but I have done this on both of my Nooks with the same excellent results. While I have not gotten the same kind of vendor endorsement as I got from the VS rep, I don't see why there would be an issue for Nooks, they also use an excellent quality glass screen.

So if you are like me, of the most annoying things about the tablets has nothing to do with its functionality, but has everything to do with its display, specifically the darn fingerprints and smudges! There is now a fix for this, tested by many people including myself, and works an absolute treat at curing at least 90% of the issue.

Not only does it prevent almost all fingerprints and smudges but it also gives your display a super silky sexy feel to it.

How to do it? Rain-X! Follow these directions to a super smooth, clean screen that will last at least a month between applications.

1. Clean your screen using a GOOD microfiber cloth and a little bit of water.

2. Repeat step one at least once! You really really want to have your screen as clean and "out-of-the-box" perfect as you possibly can get it. Check it at multiple angles and light to make sure you have no haze, no smudges, no spots.

3. Apply Rain-X to wet the corner of a clean cotton rag

4. Using a gentle swirling motion, apply the rain-x to the screen. It will bead up at first, but continue to swirl it on for about 20-30 seconds until it starts drying to a uniform hazy coating

5. Wet your microfiber cloth again, getting it damp but not dripping and buff off most of the hazy coat

6. When you have most of the haze removed, switch to the dry end of the microfiber and buff off the rest.

7. Go back to the bright lights and multiple viewing angles to check for missed areas.

Good luck and share your results!"

-- This sounds like a great idea to me.

Aquapel seems to be better than Rain-X (lasts a bit longer under heavy wiper usage). I haven't switched back once I tried it.

Wonder if it would also work in this aspect as well (possibly better too).
[Nook Color Accessories] gtriever:
I made the mistake one time of confusing Aircraft canopy cleaner/polish for windshield cleaner. However, after 30 minutes of buffing, buffing, and buffing, for six months even the BUGS would slide off that glass. Hmmm, I wonder... :cool:

How does this effect the glare?
[Nook Color Accessories] discourse:
*Rain-X only sold in America :D
[Nook Color Accessories] GrillMouster:
So, you'll always have Rain-X on your fingertip, getting aborbed into your body and transferred to the food you handle, the contact lenses you put in your eyes, etc?

Also, Rain-X can be a pain to get off once it's on, so doing this may make it almost impossible to put a screen protector on later.

I used to use Rain-X on my windshield until I noticed dangerous visibility problems at night when a streetlight or something would hit at an off-angle. The glare was horrible and I couldn't see a thing.

[Nook Color Accessories] kairun:
Where do you buy this stuff? Do you have to mask the border off before applying?
[Nook Color Accessories] spikey911:
You make a solid point on the chemicals being absorbed... The stuff was never meant to be in constant contact of skin.

I also had very bad visibility at night after using the washer fluid type...
[Nook Color Accessories] GrillMouster:
Although I haven't tried this, something else that may work, and maybe safer than Rain-X as far as chemical absorption is shaving cream. This is an old trick I used to do to prevent the bathroom mirror from fogging up when I took a hot shower. I'd smear shaving cream (not gel; it needs to be real shaving cream) on the pre-cleaned mirror. Spread it all around. Let it sit for a while, then buff it off with a cloth.
[Nook Color Accessories] jhsieh929:
Wow this worked surprisingly well. I previously tried Klasse AIO (it's a cleaner wax for the car) on it, which made it nice and slippery, but didn't seem to last very long. Rain-X worked amazingly well and also fixed the phantom touch issue that I've been having while playing zenonia 2. I can finally play without turning off and on my screen every so often to fix it. Thanks!
[Nook Color Accessories] Jgrimoldy:
I tried this last night.

I cleaned the screen twice with a lint-free cloth designed for eyeglasses. I used liquid eyeglass cleaner too. I applied the RainX then buffed and buffed until it was clean...

I dunno. It doesn't really appear to make *that* much of a difference. My skin is average in terms of oil.

Maybe I was expecting better results.

Perhaps I'll try the shaving cream approach. Which is better, lime, menthol, or regular? /snark
[Nook Color Accessories] claytorj:
Just tried this too. I still see some streaking afterwards (although it has been reduced significantly). The biggest difference though seems to be that I can wipe off any streaks with my fingers(!) afterwards.

FYI - You can buy Rain-X outside of the US. I picked mine up at Canadian Tire in Canada.

As for this stuff being absorbed through the skin - perhaps. Although according to the bottle it is only flammable and an eye irritant, so absorbing isn't likely to cause too much harm. And I would hope people are washing their hands before putting in/taking out contacts. There are more serious things that are easily spread by touching your eyes than Rain-X!
[Nook Color Accessories] iluvpandas4:
Yes! I use the same shaving cream trick on my bathroom mirror as well as my windshield. It keeps my windshield from fogging up and makes it slightly more resistant to fingerprints. So I'm thinking it would probably work well on the nook.

[Nook Color Accessories] GrillMouster:
Installed B&N anti-glare screen protector and haven't noticed problems with fingerprints.
[Nook Color Accessories] travo:
Yep

I put on a B&N anti-glare screen protector and the problem is much reduced.

I hate the way screen protectors look on devices, so I went to B&N to see one on a nook before buying the screen protectors. I can say they are very high quality and easy to apply. I can hardly notice it's on, and it seems a bit more slippery to the touch, on a bare screen the finger drag resistance was very annoying to me.

+1 for the B&N anti-glare screen protector!!!
[Nook Color Accessories] funnycreature:
Here's the link to the official MSDS (Material Safety and Data Sheet):

Rain-X Glass Treatment

All of the described hazards are due to the alcohols (isopropanol and ethanol) that are used as a solvents. There is actually no mention of the active ingredient which is presumably some silicone polymer. The alcohols will evaporate thus will not be a problem any longer. I'd be worried more about the alcohols' impact on the plastic casing!

An alternative could be to use stone sealer but I don't know if that's any better :D.

This works BEAUTIFULLY. I used a spray bottle of Rain-X I had laying around, used one of those expensive cloth paper towels to apply it after using a Microfiber cloth to clean it. Let it dry, and then just wiped it with the microfiber cloth - I didn't use any water. It hardly takes fingerprints now, and I am very happy! :) Next up, to do the Evo...

[Nook Color Accessories] claytorj:
This is not really any more work than cleaning the screen off with a microfibre cloth. If the fingerprints were bothering you then you would probably clean the screen. This just makes it a monthly procedure instead of a weekly procedure.

[Nook Color Accessories] funnycreature:
I ordered a faux leather case for my NC from eBay ($14 incl shipping). It came with a free screen protector which seems to tame the fingerprints nicely. It makes the screen a tiny bit blurry but that's expected with an anti-glare protector...

[Nook Color Accessories] 911jason:
Is the anti-glare screen protector a matte finish? If so, it's a no-go. I had one on both my Aria and my iPod Touch and loved the way my finger would glide across the screen and not leave a single print. Unfortunately, it made me feel like I was looking at the display through a screen door...
