[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
As we all seen, Multi touch kernel, finaly hit Xperia X10...And now i wonder, can you port the Multi-touch to X8 ?? Any working dual-touch Kernel for it?? Please post links....If you got a Kernel for Bin4ry's flasher(X8) It would be GREAT...
[XPERIA X8 General] Sully.E:
plz , stop posting questions about multi-touch on X8 , if you search the whole internet you will see that there is no kernel , update or anything in order to enable multi-touch on x8

if you look at xda-developers forum , you will see several topic about it!
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
I know, but i really want somebody to port the kernel from the Xperia X10. Can't it be done??
[XPERIA X8 General] Terdroblade:
You can't. And looks like you didnt read any of the posts there because, if I remember correctly, all of the threads tell you it's impossible to play with the kernel until the bootloader gets cracked.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Correct me if i am wrong: Why don't you play with an firmware for bin4ry's flasher, it's got kernel.sin file, modd it, then flash it with custom firmware, should do the trick ;), don't you agree?
[XPERIA X8 General] Tobi@s:
No cause phone don't accept unsigned firmware files.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Then how is it that i was able to flash an X10 M.T kernel on it? (it wouldn't start.cuz it's x10 kernel....but it did flashed...)
[XPERIA X8 General] ponanovn:
Because it is signed by Sony Ericsson.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
so, can't we make a driver with fake signature that looks like SE. ?or Mod the Kernel signed by sony?
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
NO, if that was possible we would already have multitouch, custom kernels, fully working custom ROMs and we wouldn't have to crack bootloader...
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
I was sure you were gonna say that...damn it :( Let's hope the devs will crack that loader..
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
No need for that.
[XPERIA X8 General] 72andrew72:
Hi, I have question > On which phones is bootloader cracked? is very hard to crack it on x8 too? (i don't know about this very much but DT/MT would be awesome :) )
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
There are no SE phone that has cracked bootloader... SE put a lot of effort into locking it :/
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
Is there any devs working on cracking the bootloader. Wish I had the knowledge :/
[XPERIA X8 General] GreatApo:
Some people are trying to change to multi touch from drivers (we do not need to crack bootloader). Check this topic... (scroll down a little...)
[XPERIA X8 General] killmyself:
so is there any hope to crack bootloader and change kernels? or we can forget it?
[XPERIA X8 General] Xx-Forx-xX:
We all have to wait for bootloadercracking or SE release official update
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Or the driver Unloader...i think that was really brilliant...i already tried an driver...it will replace but touchscreen will not respond...anyways..it's a step forward...
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
That means they're really scared of what we did back then when they were selling the "dumb phones(K610,W660..etc..)" :> :))
[XPERIA X8 General] treebill:
may i just ask what you did with them?

i only reason i see for having multi touch is for when your typing, i don't think pinch zoom won't be so good on the small screen.
[XPERIA X8 General] aries77:
I play games and I'd like to see MT on X8 since some games need it. Pinch zoom just a bonus for me.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
On the dumb phones, we could change their drivers with better ones >:) and flash custom roms straight from pc(No recovery thing needed)
[XPERIA X8 General] treebill:
that too would be nice to zoom out on angry birds lol

arr ok cool :) just new to all this phone modding stuff ^^
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
Patches, elfpack (running standard linux elf executable files on phone), SIM unlocking, changing sound/display/camera drivers with much better ones, flashing K series to W (Walkman) series (eg. K530 -> W660)...

Ahh, I miss those good old days... :)
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
Oh man. What phone did you have? I still have my S500i. Was the best phone at the time IMO.
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
I had K530@W660, and it was CID52 - lucky me :p... But it died :( I had elfpack, and 5 elves in Daemons folder for autostart, at least 40 patches, modded camera and sound drivers and I've modified custom EQ settings patch to boost the bass on MegaBass setting even further...
[XPERIA X8 General] dada.81:
So, just to recap, X8 actually has MT hardware (like X10 does)...it's only drivers...could any1 confirm that plz?

TIA

EDIT> Is there a ifixit article, or something else out there, teardown articles showing both phones...
[XPERIA X8 General] mati96PL:
Yes , you're right.

At least there is way to put mt in x8 as module :) devs working on it and there is topic about it :P
[XPERIA X8 General] daanieloow:
I have wanted to see my x8 with multitouch screen
[XPERIA X8 General] zxc79:
We can't edit kernel??
[XPERIA X8 General] romcio47:
If we could do this, we would have done it already. But we can't. Bootloader would have probably rejected our tries because of lack of the SE certificate in our file. Besides nobody have cracked BL.

Stop SPAMMING! There are loads of threads about this just use this little white box on the top of the screen, just right of the yellow one. This is S-E-A-R-C-H feature.
[XPERIA X8 General] zxc79:
i know, but i want edit orginal kernel with certificate SE
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
But YOU CAN'T. We would already do that if it was possible.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
true, but now we're closer than ever to crack the bootloader :>
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
Well,to say the truth,the dumb phone era was my most fun time.flashing was,soo fun :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
Im not familiar with setting up a profile so that its ONLY activated if another profile is active.

heres what i want to do.....i want to set up my phone so that ONLY when im at work, my display stay on IF the phone is charging

thanks ahead.
[Android Apps and Games] kekspernikai:
You should just be able to add a context. The task won't trigger unless both contexts are met. Just create the profile, then click on the context and hit "add context."
[Android Apps and Games] dbilliter:
St up the context at work. Then after you have the task ready just long press the context and press add. Add your plug in context and then the screen will only stay on if both contexts occur. I have a couple of walkthoughs for tasker that will help guide you on my blog at dbilliter.blogspot.com
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Long-press is for deletion. Just do a tap to get the Add option.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aneruin:
I rooted my phone and installed Cyanogen Mod and as part of the process of installing it I made sure I had it rooted and had superuser permissions. Now, though for some reason whenever my phone tries to ask me for the permissions it says that the app superuser permissions has errored out and needed to be force closed. What could be causing this? I used unrEVOked to root my phone and it's worked fine in the past. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Superuser, then hit clear data. That may fix the problem.

If not go into Rom Manager > Fix Permissions, let that go through, reboot, and see if that worked.

If neither of those work I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the SU app.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aneruin:
Thanks a bunch. I went ahead and did them both so I couldn't tell you which one fixed it but thanks! :)
[Xoom General] lanternca:
I opened up market today, hit the tablet section, and I was so excited as a ton of apps showed up. but, then i realized that the same 20 apps just kept repeating.

Any one else see that?
[Xoom General] kjdocs:
Ha yes....same with me. I had checked earlier so when I checked this afternoon and saw tons I was very excited. That is, until I looked closer
[Xoom General] chernggoh:
I see the same thing but at least there's 4 more apps on the list!
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
What a sick, sick joke, Google.

It just keeps scrolling ad infinitum!

:mad:
[Xoom General] paulshields:
It'll pick up soon enough. A lot of apps already on the market, even though they should work fine on honeycomb, will have things like "android.hardware.telephony" features enabled, which will by default hide it in the market from honeycomb tablets (which lack telephony). It's a shame that the devices were released so soon after the Honeycomb API was released, but give the devs a week or so to test and tweak and a lot more should pop up once the they've amended their manifests. I quite like how Android is the complete opposite to Apple when it comes to launches, but I can see how it could be annoying :).
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
There's definitely a few new apps in that list, trust me
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
it just got updated with a list of feature. limited atm, but it's growing
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
It was a glitch and quickly patched. However, I had that glitch a few days go, not today.

Google is tweaking the Market app almost everyday it appears.
[Xoom General] davehries:
Spare parts question

I have a Tab and I use an app called Spare Parts that resizes (scales) phone apps to work on the Tab. Have you tried it on the Xoom?
[Xoom General] setite:
For me the list was at least 40% longer. I installed like 7 or 8 new things. I am tempted to try the updated Thumbit Keyboard, but I am unsure. I am cheap and even 2$ would be terrible to waste.
[Xoom General] ehasley:
that keyboard is awesome. You shouldn't regret it.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Tell me if anyone else notices this. Whenever you are searching apps in the market and click on an app, and then you go back it puts you all the way back up to the very top of the app list forcing you to start all the way from the beginning all over again! When you hit back it should bring you back to where you left off instead of starting all over at the top of the list. And it does it every single time too! Its annoying! Especially when you are just looking around at apps to download, you might get very far down on the list and then... BAM! You will have to start over when you click an app to view more info about it. Who feels the pain on that? This needs a fix ASAP!
[Xoom General] tlogank:
I went and bought it. It's really just like $1.67 but I figured it would hold me over till SwiftKey released their tablet version (it's in BETA currently).

...this is actually really nice. Glad I found it, very easy vs. the default keyboard. It has a settings option for what screen size you have, just pick 10in and it adjusts accordingly...very happy with my purchase.
[Xoom General] setite:
I bought it too. It gets the job done. I find that it seems to repeat my letters alot so I have to type at a steady pace. We'll see how it works out. I feel like it's designed for smaller fingers/hands than mine.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
I am a swiftkey guy so I can't wait until they release it
[Xoom General] lanternca:
I bought Thumbit too. I like having multiple keyboards to choose from. Sometimes, I'm at table and the stock keyboard works well. Sometimes, I'm holding it in one hand with a stylus in the other and the slideIt keyboard works well. i use thumbit if i'm sitting on the couch holding it in two hands. All worth it.

I am waiting for swype though.

My biggest problem with non-stock keyboards is that the windows doesn't show the rest of the page, but rather an input window of sorts. That is, if i'm entering information on a webpage, using the stock keyboard, I can still see the rest of the page and navigate around it, but using anything else, I can't./
[Xoom General] madmak:
On Thumb keyboard, click settings and disable fullscreen view
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
I see 32 apps none repeated.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Woke up to 11 new apps in the Tablet section of the market this morning.

Oddly enough, I feel like a couple of them don't belong there yet.

Evernote, which actually isn't tablet optimized (small icons, no multiple fragments for easier navigation, etc), but works.

and Bonsai Blast, which also works but looks like crap because it's just stretched and not in HD for the tablet.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
Hi guys,

i know this has probably been asked a 100 times and i was searching for it on the forums and on google for 2 hours, but i couldnt find a fitting guide to it (i found tons of guides how to root it per se, but not how to save/backup the stock rom in case i would need to restore it to stock one day.

thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BravoMotorola:
This phone just came out. It takes time for developers to start developing. Saying that, there is no way to back up your current ROM as of now. That requires a custom recovery which has not yet been made for the Atrix.

OH, and about rooting, it won't brick your phone. I'm can't think of one phone that has got messed up from the rooting process. And if you need to unroot to "return it to stock" just unroot it. It's one of the features in SuperOneClick.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
ok great thank you very much. just on a second thing, maybe if you know? i have a terrible problem with the phone. i got me a sim unlock code, that worked (can put any sim in as i l ike) but the thing is if i put a sim that is active (so it gets signal bars of my carrier) the wifi connection instantly stops working in goes into what seems to be some sort of scanning/disconnect loop. i can repair that only by hard resetting it with an old sim that doesnt get any reception, so that the wifi works than. oh and i can do calls and stuff with the working sim. so im terribly nervous right now. i found some things while googling that the wpa_supplicant is bugged on the stock 2.2.1 (what the phone is running apparently), so i tried to change the file (just did the things) and it didnt help, still the same issue. and i sort of have a problems since im now in europe and well cant really return the phone :( oh and otherwise the wifi works perfectly .. and another thing wifi wont work ever after inserting the working sim, even with the nonworking sim wifi still has the same problem.
[Fascinate General] archalon:
Is it possible to edit the icons on TW icons - like from root explorer - to not include the name of the app ?

I dont want to switch launchers to get more options.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Without switching launchers, you aren't going to get customization outside of arranging the icons on the dock, with the exception of the Apps icon
[Fascinate General] bigshotproducer:
Only way I know is by switching launchers. LP has the option.
[Fascinate General] archalon:
Thanks, much appreciated.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Adw does as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bittergeek:
I've been experiencing some choppy video problems on my myTouch Slide. I know phones are somewhat notorious for this, but the weird thing in my case is that it used to work just fine and now it won't. Same video file (a movie in WMV format), same media player (arcMedia), now it won't work.

So I thought "it's probably a problem with arcMedia." So I tried RockPlayer. Same problem. Then I tried streaming flash video on Dolphin HD (which also used to work provided the video was buffered). Same problem.

So I grabbed an MP4 off of NASA's website and tried it on the native player. I don't get any video, just sound. From what I can tell this video should play just fine: H264 video codec and everything.

I'm new to Android but not new to computers and tech.

Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianstk:
Well what changed? Did you install any new apps that may be running in the background? Did you flash another rom or something since the last time you played this wmv file?

What was the resolution of the MP4 off the NASA site? If it was HD that is probably the reason why you get no video.
[Vibrant General] Raaaa86:
Hi guys i just installed this ROM Vibrant_AOSPish_JK2 on my vibrant and all was perfect. Then i tried to condition my battery. Turned off phone with power cable connected and tried to go into recovery mod but phone stuck at vibrant screen. I pulled power cable turned off the phone and turn it on regularly and all was fine, then i turn it off again without power cable connected and it stuck again on vibrant screen. Then i went to ROM Manager and boot to recovery same thing happened phone stuck on vib screen. And now i cant turn it on anymore it stuck on vibrant screen every time. I tired to pull out battery... What should i do? Thanx in advance
[Vibrant General] BlackHoleDroid:
Are you using the three button combo? If so and its still not working, try downloading quickboot from the market.
[Vibrant General] Vibrantnew-b:
With the phone hooked up to the computer pullout the battery, sim, & sd card. Then try to reboot into recovery with the volume rocker & power button. Hope that works, good luck!
[Vibrant General] zwdude2890:
You need to install busybox to be able to boot into recovery in that Rom
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
^^this.
[Vibrant General] Raaaa86:
I can't turn on my phone thats the problem... I tried the magic combo without luck... I had busybox installed. Maybe the problem was because i didnt have cwm properly installed. I renamed cwm installation folder to update.zip and that run it from 2e recovery. After that i can access cwm but need to repeat the procedure every time.

Finally i succeeded with Odin to solve my problem. Now im on stock rom again. Only this time i installed cwm 2.5.1.2 trough ROM manager but phone still goes to default recovery i dont know if this is normal? I want to flash to Froyo Rom where i can find clear tested version? Thank you guys for replaying and trying to help
[Vibrant General] txr_maxx:
I'm running cwm 2.5.1.2 also, and rooted with froyo+voodoo lag fix on vibrant, phone's running great, just trying to get rid of bloatware right now, my recovery boots fine, I wiped everything then reverted back to stock 2.1 when I had issues then updated through kies to 2.2, ran super one click root, and ran voodoo through odin, got rom manager from market and recovery worked perfect. hope this helps
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
the problem is, the AOSPish JK2 rom doesn't install busybox properly. You'll have to reinstall AOSPish jk2, then before rebooting, install busybox from the market. then it'll work. (the EXACT method has been described in the AOSPish jk2 thread many time, but hasn't been updated in the op)
[Vibrant General] Raaaa86:
I know for the busybox process i did that but something went wrong obviously. I repeated the process and for now everything is ok recovery is working. Thanx for help guys i appreciate that

I've downloaded but the file is corrupted or corupted extract ....

maybe there is another download link sir.....

:mad:

:eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Hakim Rahman:
try adding these ROM files using WinRar and then extract them
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hystrix65:
Otherwise you try downloading it HERE
[Nook Color General] gmap516:
Alright, so I'm running Nookie Froyo (customized?) and Sometimes my SD card has problems mounting but I just pop it in and out and it goes.

However, Gallery and Music are not picking up any of the music I have stored on there.

Similarly, when I use Astro to play most of the videos I have, it FC's. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
[Nook Color General] gmap516:
Bump
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
Off the top of my head I'd say for the video issue verify the format is compatible (h.264 baseline with a resolution at or below 854x480 for example) and short of that use ROM manager to fix permissions, reboot into recovery and wipe cache and then check again.

On the custom emmc 0.6.8 build I'm finding that the best thing for me is to re-encode my videos using handbrake with the custom preset found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894165

I've tried various video players and have settled for just using the stock player and uninstalling all others. I sometimes get video rotating into portrait mode which I resolve by jumping into Youtube app and running a video while rotating into landscape mode and then jumping back into gallery. Seems to often kick the movie player back into playing in landscape as it's supposed to.

As for music, I haven't tried loading my SD card with MP3's so I can't comment on that.

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color General] tasiadessert:
Hey thanks, helped me out too haha.
[Nook Color General] gmap516:
Does HandBrake have a batch convert/process option?

If it doesn't, I need a program that does.
[Nook Color General] graystang:
I used freemake to do the conversion for my nook, and it worked great. But, you do have to be careful what video size, audio and video codecs, bitrate, and file extension that you pick.
[Nook Color General] dalkor:
It has. Press "Soucre->Add folder", all video files will appear in title list. Simply switch titles and add them to queue.
[Nook Color General] gmap516:
Honestly, call me dumb. But I clicked "Source> Add folder" Then Start and it only converted 1 file.

EDIT: Sorry ,I figured it out.
[A7 General] dedapr:
Just got my A7. On the home screen when I choose "file" I get a blank black box and a file icon named "file". I am able to put apps, bookmarks etc. into this file, but how can I change this icon name on the home screen from "file" to the name I want for it?

Many thanks.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
By file do you mean folder?

If so, open the folder, then hold your finger on the title for a couple seconds until a edit box appears.
[A7 General] dedapr:
One more question?

Thanks for the help. That works and I can now rename my folders.

How do I do I get the shortcuts or apps into the folder? I thought I was "adding" them to the folder but it turns out I was putting them on the home screen. I am trying to do the equivalent to dragging and dropping into a folder but I can't seem to drag them on my A7.

Thanks in advance.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Same as renaming the folder. Hold your finger on the icon until it is movable, then drop it on top of the folder you want to put it in.
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
I just received an notification for my phone saying I have a system update available. Should I just ignore it, or it is save to do so? Since my phone is rooted and unlocked and I might perform an eng-off, radio and custom rom flash this weekend.

Please advice.

Friend greet.
[Desire HD General] snowwhite007:
No do not update u will loose ur root and porentially ruin ure phone
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
Thanks, how do I cancel it because the thing kinda stays on my notification bar unless I click update.
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
Yes, you will loose your root, but can you let us know in which country you use your phone and if you can see update is there number - version of update?
[Desire HD General] snowwhite007:
Yeah wat version is it 2.3? Anyway flash a custom rom and itl go i take it ure rooted on standard rom
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
No there is no version number available on the notification. Which part of the phone software will it likely to update, firmware, basdband, kernel, or all of them?

My firmware is 1.40.61.2 with stock android 2.2

kernel: 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d

Radio: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

I am currently on UK Three contract, but the phone was purchase separately.
[Desire HD General] snowwhite007:
Could be anything dont do it anyway flash reedroid or another rom back ure rom up first tho with clockwork
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
Strange, I am on Vodafone Uk, but phone is sim free, and no update available..., was phone from east or uk stock? , I don't think is 2.3, but 1.72 they removed, 1.83 was for branded and as I know was removed too, not sure what can be..
