I've had my Showcase since Dec and the only thing I've done so far is to root it. Hope that I can be of some help as well.

Now to just get this darned thing hacked...
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Ew. First step: Drop the 1993 clichés.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ruswood:
I am a little new to this but succesfuly rooted my last showcase and had 2.2.1 with pick n pack .3 and voodoo kernal and it worked great other than I couldn't silence phone calls with the volume rocker. Anyone else have this issue? Then I flashed superfrankenclean Tom with comavault kernal and I had a lot of verizon stuff on it like location services powered by vzw and also 3g mobile hotspot vzw wasn't worried to much about it till this morning my service dropped to nothing then I dialed *228 which I know now was big no no and then my phone went into roaming and couldn't get any service at all so took it to csouth got a new one which probably will be charged for and then tried to do step by step instructions for froyo and links were gone and instructions so I tried to root with z4 which I did then couldn't get red recovery screen to work when I flashed update.zip kept getting no signature or something so anyway I was able to redo my steps on the froyo build from Odin as I had somehow remembered and now I got everything going on pnp.3 and using voodoo but I really miss voodoo control sound is this still not available for it? I would like to go back to superclean with comavault but would like some advice and feedback from more experienced users I posted this in another thread but figured this was best thread for it and I really wish we had our own thread because I read on this site for days back 2 weeks ago and had massive migraines from trying to figure out what would work for showcase and what wouldn't and some things like rom manager you use the fascinate for something then for other things on this site you use the mesmerize so any help with what is most stable and what to run would be appreciated only thing I can tell not working with pnp.3 now is can't silence phone calls still but I really like the superclean and would go back to it if someone posted about what's happening to cause the radio signal issue
[Samsung Mesmerize] ruswood:
Sorry for the lengthy post guys just trying to clear lots of things up I encountered and figured other newbies may benefit from it too.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
The best advice I can give you is learn to listen (read) and follow the discussions and advice these forums provide. Only flash ROMs, kernels, etc. that are either designed for the Showcase or are known to be compatible with it. Period. If you don't pay attention, and just go off flashing this and that and whatever, you're asking for trouble. There's no need to get a headache over all the stuff that's out there that isn't for the Showcase. Only concern yourself with what is either for, or is compatible with, the Showcase. Everything else isn't relevant.

And if after actually reading the original post and the thread and you still aren't sure if its a-ok for the Showcase, just ask. But read first. Don't be that guy who asks, when the original post clearly states it is or isn't Showcase compatible in the second or third sentence. Know what I mean?

As for the superclean ROM. I'm running it and the comavolt kernel and have had absolutely zero issues.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ruswood:
I've had two other people tell me they lost their signal all together with superclean to and they tried to go back to pnp and they still had no signal. Only way they got it back was to use odin. Guess ill try it out again as I really liked it. Under settings and mobile network which one of the boxes do you have checked? Home automatic a or b?
[Samsung Mesmerize] BuLLiT7:
Yeah, I suppose that was a little cheezy. :D
[Samsung Mesmerize] BuLLiT7:
What sucks for n00bs like me, is that there isn't a dedicated Showcase section so we can find the Showcase related threads.

I have been trying to flash an older version of CWM (2.5.1.4) so I can upgrade my kernel but no luck. Keep getting an error:

"An error occurred while downloading your recovery."

Doesn't matter when version of CWM I try to select I keep getting the same error whether I'm on 3G or WiFi. Any ideas?
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
The threads in the dev subforum are pretty clear about which ones are for the Showcase, just pay attention to the thread names.

It sounds like you're trying to use ROM Manager? If that is the case, ROM Manager isn't compatible with our phones.
[Samsung Mesmerize] BuLLiT7:
Yes, I'm using ROM Manager. According to elijahblake here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950695 I could install ROM Manager and use CWM to get where I needed to go. But so far no luck.

Is there a different/better way to flash the Showcase?
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
If you want to update to 2.2 you can kill two birds with one stone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] BuLLiT7:
At this point I'm just going to wait for the CS update, see what happens and go from there.

Besides, waiting for a call for a new job and I don't want to brick my phone in the process and miss the call. :D
[General Questions and Answers] wiv:
Hi,

I recently installed Oxygen 2.0.1 to my phone, and created a 4GB ext3 partition on my SD card for application storage ... So the standard froyo apps 2 sd installation is not needed anymore, but some applications still get installed to the FAT32 partition (like pewpew).

Is there a straightforward way to disable applications installing on the external storage ? I looked through the settings but couldn't find anything.

I noticed Oxygen uses an init script to enable apps2sd (/system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd), is it safe to modify it to disable stock apps2sd (with pm setInstallLocation 1) ? I'm quite sure it is, but I'm asking since I have only about 1 day of experience with custom ROMs :)

I liked the colourful font too, some people are just miseries :p

Unfortunately I don't know the answer I'm afraid sorry
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
Hi!

It depends on the back-up. If you have a nand backup, probably you wont be able to restore it on another phone. If you have backed up apps, like with Titanium Backup, you will be able to restore them on another phone. Just make sure that you have the same version of android, rooted, and same settings on both phones.

P.S. The best way to back-up is to make nand backup, for that you need to root your phone and install a custom recovery - that allows you to make and restore nand backups (the whole os is backed up along with the apps. Read xda forum for details on that). If you need to back up just your apps and settings, root your device and go for Titanium Backup, it will do that job easy and clean, and you can easily fin it on Market.

menu-settings-about phone-android version
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
Check like our fella 5152 said, and see the version. If you both have the same version, than copy the nandroid folder from your sd card on the other sd card, boot into recovery and restore. THAT IF the other phone has custom recovery installed.

If not, follow the steps you find here on XDA to install custom recovery on the other phone.

Keep in mind you have to have almost full battery when restoring, so you avoid errors. Also check the sd on the other phone. If you have nand backup with ext, the sd of your friends phone should be class4 or above. Else, it may not work.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palomino0513:
I don't want to make this long so here goes. I don't have a clue what happened but it some how worked.

I just wanted to root my phone so I went to this site and followed the instructions to the key.

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-new/

I had problems with step 10 and I dont even know if i properly saved the wimax what ever the hell that is/

When the bootloader came up it would just load from the sdcard and load up the " PC36IMG.zip" and and update.

I was never able to do step 11.

I kept going back and forth trying to repeat the step and that z4 app would never let me unroot and i repeatedly rerooted.

So I decided to reset my phone and sdcard hoping this would reset the whole process.

I then found something else to root. This website.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/07/20/how-to-root-the-htc-evo-4g-unrevoked-method/

Unfortunatley I didn't follow the instructons right because I am a damn fool.

So I went to straight running the unrevoked app without running the modified Android USB driver. Wierd thing is that I already got that superuser ninja looking guy in my apps. I was able to use wifi tether.

Now here is the thing, I was never able to do that recovery thing with that little black screen with green letters. It seems that I skipped that step to recover something. How can I redo that?

When I went to ROM manager and tried to install a ROM it says "flashing an update package on a recovery other than clockworkmod recovery may not work properly. Proceed?"

Does that mean it won't work? Im afraid to push Proceed.

Hope I made sense for someone to help. Its a giant mess... I wish I could start all over...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Boot into the bootloader and accept the update and reboot, that'll install a recovery for you.

Also, you're using the paid version?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palomino0513:
Dude I love you. What about when loading the ROM from ROM manager, "flashing an update package on a recovery other than clockworkmod recovery may not work properly. Proceed?"

What is clockworkmod recovery, what does it do, where do I get it?

Oh and yes i am using the paid version, why should I get my 5 bucks back?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Clockwork recovery is just different from amon_ra. You can go into rom manager and click flash clockwork recovery, if you wish. And that message means like flashiing clockwork on amon_ra , you may get errors. Also, you can use clockwork on amon_ra, as to still download roms, but you can't backup with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palomino0513:
I also want to add ever since I tried the root, it took my phone back to the stone age. I los the newest htc update with swype. Why is that?

The Rom Mananger isnt working for me either. It wont load any ROMS. IT says downloading but nothing ever happens, how long does it take to download a ROM?

I downloaded this OTA SUPERSONIC 3.70 and it wont load either? Whats going on .

I really need some major help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_s:
I'm not sure why you would root your EVO without knowing anything about the process or at the very least the terminology, but it's not too late. I recommended that you go and read and get a better feel for the process.

There are at least a dozen threads on the subject. Here's one to start you off Helpful Threads.

I've heard good things about the moto keyboard, but before i fork out 80$ on it I had a couple Questions.

1. Has anyone tried to use the keyboard as an input devices for emulators and other games?

2. Anyone have a coupon code or know of a sale on them from anywhere?
[Xoom Accessories] agentpower:
anyone? lol
[Xoom Accessories] El Daddy:
I have the keyboard, however I haven't tried it on an emulator. As for deals, I got mine from amazon on the 27th. They were selling them for $63. Last time I checked they didn't have anymore in stock.

The keyboard is fantastic though. Very thin and compact and great for composing large emails, etc. Navigating the home screen is a bit cluncky and I haven't figured out a way to access the app drawer. My work around is just to search for the app you want.

Its also nice using it with HDMI out to your TV or monitor.

I would suggest picking it up.
[Xoom Accessories] agentpower:
Thanks Daddy.

If you try it out on an Emu let me know your results.
[Xoom Accessories] greenrocks:
$80? You could get it from Amazon directly for $62.99 (free shipping).

So after about a week or so with my Xoom, I am happy, unlike the fools that don't understand early adopting.

Anyway. Today I ran across two glitches that I would like to know if anyone else has encountered. First I put about three or four 720p videos on my xoom and it stopped audio from playing out of my xoom. In videos that were previously on it and the music app didn't work either. Second, I went to take a picture and the picture I snapped stayed in the viewfinder, didn't save, when I closed the camera app and tried to reaccess it I was stopped with a prompt stating "camera could not be found". A simple power off power on technique fixed both issues. But that was twice today I needed to do that after an almost flawless week.

Has anyone expiren ced either of these glitches or any others you'd like to mention?
[Xoom General] LordLugard:
If you start out calling people fools then you deserve to wallow in your glitches.

Have fun.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
Anyone that spends 800 dollars on a device then pops online and complains about the stupidest things that are to be expected is a fool. This forum is filled with people *****ing because their fb widget doesn't work or their favorite app from froyo isn't running properly. Anyone that wastes up space like that on this forum is a fool. Don't spend that much money on something and come here to ***** about things that should be expected.

And you good sir are a fool. Don't comment on this thread if you having nothing of use to say.
[Xoom General] falconeight:
I pre ordered it and think its junk. I returned it and lost no money in the transaction. How is that foolish? Whats foolish is $800 for something that a cheaper tablets can do just as well.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
Maybe I should fix this cause it was really meant to be harmless. I started this thread after reading a post about someone calling the xoom junk because he/she could not run a few apps he had on his phone on his Xoom. And this was the reason for his return.

Now like I said in that post, I can understad why people would be dissapointed with the Xoom. It shipped with aa **** stock player when it is supposedly suppose to be a media powerhouse, just to mention one of the few things wrong.

However if you purchased a Xoom this early into the game, and expect it to be able to run all your apps from Froyo, you are a damn fool.

It was not a burn to people that decided to take theirs back, just to those that don't understsnd what early adopting is, and for all intensive purpses come here to complain about it.

No one cares that your fb widget doesn't work, and if that is your sole purpose for returning this device you are an idiot for having bought it.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
I haven't experienced either one. Are you rooted or anything fancy? And what are you using to convert/play your video files?

The Xoom being junk, and the Xoom not being for you is two different things. The OP's frustration with a certain breed of early adopters is completely justified.

You are a click away from the information that would've saved you time and effort. Instead you chose to buy a brand new product with brand new software, and ***** because it's not seasoned, and because you can't understand what it's capable of.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
i haven't rooted yet due to the concerns of not being able to get the upgrade. But I believe its now confirmed that the upgrade will still go to those that have rooted.

I have a video converter I used, but what caused me problems was a youtube streaming saver. I've been using it to convert music videos posted by vevo into 720p. That was the only time it glitched.

The videos all play fine after the reboot.

I also encountered problems trying to transfer 1080p files to my Xoom. For some reason my windows 7 computer stops the transfer well after it starts and is seemingly going fine.

I'm not sure if 1080p is even worth it considering the file size and that 720 looks beautiful but any advice would be gratefully taken.

I did happen to get a 1080 on my Xoom, however it did not play on the stock video player and actually stopped my other videos from playing till I had a chance to take it off.

Again I am sorry for anyone that took offense to my fool comment, unless you are on of the few fools on this forum that just wants to complain your apps aren't working.

I can't imagine all the returns that they are going to have to process for people that don't fully understand what they are buying.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
That makes no effing sense. Could you imagine if Apple sold a new Mac Pro and then when people complained that it was glitchy and things werent working that obviously should, their response being "You shouldn't have spent so much money on our device. Don't you know that you are an early adopter? Stop complaining on our forums about your problems." For the premium price Motorola was charging, the tablet should have had next to no bugs.

LOL.

I understand being frustrated by the half of the frontpage of the general section that is people complaining about their Xoom, but realize that the entire "early adopter" excuse is nonsense. Android will never make a dent in the tablet market if every tablet has to be allowed to go through an "early adopter" phase where it is riddled with bugs. No Apple product goes through an "early adopter" phase. Some of their products have flaws, but out of the box you do not see nearly the same amount of issues. For the premium Motorola demanded for their tablet, there should have been much more quality control testing of not only the hardware but also of Honeycomb. I can easily understand why people are pissed when they spend $850+ dollars on a device and they get home and their browser is crashing on them and their widgets arent working, etc, etc, etc.
[Xoom General] androidseptix:
I believe anybody who knows anything about android should have expected some issues with apps running on a new version os. If you bought a xoom within the first week of its launch you should expect some bugs to be found. Comparing this to apple products isn't really fair because this is a new platform. This is probably why apple hasn't released a tablet os just because of all the testing that would need to be done. Which im sure they are currently working on. It will just have to be perfect before we see any sign of it. Google on the other hand works entirely differently. Take a look at the first android release on the G1. That system was far from perfect but it was released anyways for people to get their hands on it. It allowed them to start working with it and see what was needed. I understand what your saying but this is nothing new. This is how android has always been. Thays why they release new versions every few months. To fix the code that was wrong in the last and add some new features.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
I stopped reading after your every tablet going thru early adopter phase. You obviously don't know what your talking about. We are early adopted to honeycomb, not so much the Xoom you bafoon. The xoom works fine, the os is what has minor glitches.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
The first iPhone had some huge holes in its capabilities. Some would call the lack of flash early on when html5 was nowhere in sight a huge problem. Couldn't send picture messages, pretty sure you couldn't even type in landscape. You just have a short term memory.

We're not asking for it to happen with every tablet. The is the first tablet running 3.0. Where were you when Windows 7 was released? A fantastic OS that was only sort of compatible with things that could run on Vista. Software needed some time to adapt. That's literally all that's happening here.

I tried to flash a rom in my phone but every time when I does this, just before the flashing begins, the update program ends with: No retail device and I cannot continue.

It goes fine into download mode. Any clues ?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
I'm guessing the Samsung updater knows that the device shouldn't be available and so will not update it. I don't know if there is a way around this.

EDIT: Should just check, is your device retail? Or is it some other version of the Omnia you've got?

[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] kingwild:
It isn't a retail device. It came in an unmarked box. I have had my share of devices that were not supposed to be flashed over the last years and still managed to flash them. But this is a tough one. Cannot find a way to do this.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] kingwild:
On second thought: Is there another flash program available ? Looks like the retail flasher checks if it is retail. (It will be after I flashed it).

It outputs this error:
