Let me start off by saying I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR CREATING THIS THREAD. BTHOMAS22X STARTED THIS THREAD AND I INTEND TO KEEP IT GOING. 03/20/2011 is the day I took this over so all the thanks comments in the post prior to this date are directed towards BThomas22x

I want to say thanks to theimpaler747 for giving me control of this thread. We all know that BT has been deployed over to Japan to help in the relief efforts over there Lord knows they need it. On behalf of TeamViper we wish him a safe and healthy return. I wanted control of this thread because I would hate to see this thread go to waste. BThomas22x would not want this thread go to waste either. So I will do my best to update this thread as much as possible. So please direct all updates for releases to me via PM and not BThomas22x. Thank you. BThomas22x can have this thread back when he returns from Japan I have no problem with that. If he wants me to keep updating it I have no problem with keeping it updated for future reference.

Maybe you can remove all the odin/recovery stuff from the mods/guides and put them under root/recovery. Seems like a better category for it.

Also maybe make a 'fixes' sections instead of jumbling them together with the mods/guides.

[Galaxy Tab General] kenfly:
I just rooted my vzw tab and i was wondering what i have to do to put a recovery or such to install custom roms, and what is the fastest rom for the vzw tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] jorgepsantos:
Look for verizon tab bootstrapper in the market (paid), it worked for me. As far as roms in my tab I flashed the only kernel available for vrz tab. Got 1711 result in quadrant.
[Galaxy Tab General] kenfly:
and this does what? sorry for the noob question but i have searched the threads and the dev section is way too out of whack to find ANYTHING useful. and I don't have money I'm poor. I saw the manual way to do what the market app does but the links provided are dead.
[Galaxy Tab General] jorgepsantos:
The kernel only makes the tab be more responsive, faster. Download quadrant from market and compare your results with mine. As far as recovery I paid for the app because it did not involved any instructions typing. The bootstrapper converts your system to ext4 and you need this to put new rom or kernel in the tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] romac:
Poor!!! and you own a SGT? lol

[Galaxy Tab General] kenfly:
I'm still confused. I don't want to use the bootstrapper because a lot of people said that it bricked their tabs. what do I do to put on a recovery,flash roms, and create backups
[Galaxy Tab General] beestee:
Brick is a relative term. If the tab gets turned off and I don't know where the power button is and I can't get it back on, then relatively speaking it is a brick to me...sadly a lot of times there is a very simple way to get past a "brick" state, but then the person does something rash like flashing a random rom with repartition and now have made it much more difficult for themselves to dig out of the hole they are in.

There are a lot of people getting stuck at the samsung logo on reboot...there is good information out there to get past this, and by now it is an expected result, but that doesn't stop someone from freaking out and doing something they shouldn't.

Look for cruiserbax instruction post in the CwM thread...its right around page 49.
[Galaxy Tab General] kenfly:
thanks for pointing me to that post. now I have CWM 3.0.0.0 installed. Now does anyone know of a great starter ROM that i can flash right from recovery that is real speedy? my quadrant scores are crap(1030) even on ext4.

I am not too worried about the software instability as that is easily fixable from OTA updates. I lived through Windows 95/98 for a while so I can deal with some crashes here and there. The screen though is another matter. Most of the reviews I have read don't seem to think it is a dealbreaker..

They're most likely much more stable than the CM7 ROM you're running now- however since I haven't tried either of the above ROM's I can't really compare or comment on it.
[Nook Color General] ajd88:
So I have looked everywhere and havent really found the answer im looking for. First of all my headphones, also others i have tried including an aux cable dont seem to fit into the nook color headphone jack all the way. This is causing problems hearing sound in both ears, or getting any sound at all. I have to fidget to get it just right. Does anyone have any solution or similar problems? A specific pair that work?
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
It isn't broken. Just stick the headphone jack in and when it gets stuck just push on it until it goes in

My nook is like that and doing what I stated above will not break your nook or headphones
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Mine works fine with three sets of headphones and an Aux cable.
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
really?

i found mine to be a bit hard to plug in and unplug but im kind of use to it now, i just thought all nooks were like that
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
It requires a bit more force to insert and remove than other devices I have, but that also makes them harder to disconnect by accident. /shrug

They do work fine if you insert them all the way rather than stopping at the first click, as the tip slides past the ring contact, which may be what the OP is doing.
[Nook Color General] ajd88:
Wow... im a crackhead lol. Anyways thanks guys, sorry for wasting your time.
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
lol no problem it was a valid question and i was wondering the same thing when i first got my nook color, i just accidentally ran into the solution like 1 hour later lol
[Nook Color General] tenderidol:
Yes, the headphone jack is extremely tight on the NC. I feel like I am going to break something every time I am plugging in the headphones. I am sure that they inserted completely. However, out of 5 "plug in and out" cycles, only 1 will yield the full spectrum of the frequencies for me. Specifically, there is no bass, all mids and highs. I have to plug and unplug few times to get sound with bass+the rest. I am not complaining that the bass is weak, there is simply no bass at all until you get a right "fit". I tried 5 different headphones (ranging from cheap iPod headphones to UE TripleFi 10) and different sources (e.g., Pandora, music player, etc), and the result was always the same.

Anybody else with this problem (i.e., complete lack of bass until you find the right "fit")?
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
3.5mm TRS audio jacks have three contacts, one each for the Right and Left stereo channels and one for ground. A channel is either present or absent. Any bass issues you are experiencing are not due to the jack; it simply is not wired that way.
[Nook Color General] bachopin:
"However, out of 5 "plug in and out" cycles, only 1 will yield the full spectrum of the frequencies for me. "

I am certainly experiencing this issue as well. I've found a way to reproduce it. If you push the plug in fast enough all the way, you can get the plug to produce full sound, but if you push it half way in and wait for NC to change the sound from speakers to headphones you'll be missing some spectrum, after you're hearing broken sound coming out of your headphones, even if you completely push in the rest of the jack, the final results will be missing some spectrum. So the only way to get complete sound is to push the plug in before the NC switches to the headphone output.
[Nook Color General] 34Ford:
Wonder what a pair of the little powered external speakers would sound like?
[G2 and Desire Z General] izanagi:
Does anyone know if this exists for the G2? Coming from earlier HTC devices, their Mini USB port also gave access to a headphone jack with a special HTC dongle. If one of these exists in Micro USB format I'd love to know and possibly try it .

I'd like to have it like I've had my previous HTC phones, (Hero, TP, Mogul, Apache) with from a single plug access to both power and audio output, great for the car.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
I like the minimal devoid ROM since I can install only the apps that I actually use, but I have one app that I can't figure out how to install: Calendar.apk, the stock Android calendar.

Things I've tried:

1) Installing the apk from /sdcard/void/resources/gapps/apk/ from my void installation. This fails in the App Manager with the completely unhelpful message: "Application not installed"

2) Installing the gapps-gb package from mik_os's CM 7 port. This can be flashed and some of the apps install just fine, but not the calendar.

3) Installing the gapps-mdpi package from CM 6. This seems to be a better fit with the Froyo in devoid but like above, it installs a great many of the gapps, but not Calendar.

Has anyone managed to install the stock Android Calendar program under devoid? How?

You might give "Testdisc" or "Recuva" a try. I have used both to recover deleted and over-written files. Both are open source and surprisingly effective. I prefer Testdisc and always have it at the ready of my computers.
[EVO 4G General] housry23:
If you really want to get back to stock, find the post in the dev section called shipped roms. Download the 3.70.xxx .zip and make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip and not PC36IMG.zip.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard. Boot your phone into bootloader by holding down volume down and power buttons and it will scan the card and find the PC36IMG and ask if you want to update. Select yes and let it do it's thing until it asks you to reboot your phone. Reboot and you will be back to stock. Make sure your battery is charged before starting.

So i went through the hole root process with the GOLDCARD to get it at least temp rooted. Once you get to the temp root shell in step (step)3.7(dot) that states

"Launch Terminal Emulator again in the phone, it Force Closes. Launch a another time, and you'll have a temp root shell."

Start here if your already rooted or temp root!!

Go to this link and put the steps in your command promt, also from you ace-hack-kit-v002 folder navigate to "tools/win" or "tools/mac" to get to the adb file:

If I flash a new Rom and I boot into recovery and restore my backup via nandroid backup

Will all my apps and homescreens be the way I set them before i went to the new rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
However you settup your rom, what apps you installed, wallpaper, themes etc, when you make a nandroid backup it backups the entire rom as it is, and when you restore it will put it back just like it was before you did your nandroid backup.

so in other words, yes :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveojp:
Cool so lets say I decide to go with a different Rom...and I restore my backup in the Recovery. Would it put all my apps and and screens the way I had my other Rom? or would it put my old Rom and stuff back on there?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
It would put your apps & widgets etc back where they were, but your rom will be whatever it was when you did the backup.

For example, if you're running cm 6 & run a backup then flash something like myn's (just as an example), then restore your backup after flashing the new rom, you'll be back on cm6. There isn't a good way to backup homescreens. If you backup & restore in ADW Ex, I know it'll restore your shortcuts but not widgets. I'm not sure about other launchers.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzos4:
It's not really that difficult to restore apps and homescreens. Use Titanium backup to restore apps and data between roms (I wouldn't recommend restoring system apps though). Another option is MyBackup Pro, which can restore apps+data and also does "Android Home" backups aka homescreens, except for the widgets. If you use LauncherPro Plus, you can make a backup of your homescreens and restore it when you re-install LPP, except for widgets on your homescreen like MBPro.
