[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mbolinao:
Im looking for an app that will trick the phone that the keyboard is always slid out even if its not, so that the phone is always locked in landscape mode even if my phone is tilted in portrait. I kinda like the screen to be like that of Dell Streak where its always in landscape. But for me to do that i always have to slide out my keyboard and wait for the screen to rotate (slow at times, i hate waiting).

But when i leave my keyboard slid out, landscape stays on even when it goes on sleep mode. and when I wake it up, the lock screen is also in landscape. that is what i want.

im using Xperia X10 Mini Pro by the way. but probably a same app would work for other android phones with slide out keyboard.

If you know of any app, id appreciate it.

Thanks!

I am modifying this post removing some steps:

Note that you can always go back to orignal Odin ROM using Vibrant Download Mode in the link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978836

You should know what you are doing, otherwise I am not reponsible for any device brick.

1- Use SuperOneClick 1.7 to gain root (USB debugging enabled).

Open SuperOneClick and run Shell Root with your phone plugged in.

Use Rage option, then once done, reboot the phone and verify root using "Root Checker" from the Market.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

2. Download "3e_recovery_installer.zip" from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833423

run the 3e Recovery Installer. When finished, close.

3. Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery via ROM Manager from market by selecting "Vibrant" when asked for phone type. Then reboot into recovery. (You may need to reboot your phone if you get stuck on the ROM Manager "Reboot to Recovery" screen) (Just reboot, then attempt to reboot into recovery again)

At the blue recovery select "reinstall packages". The first time will fail, run it once more, and you should now have the green CWM Recovery menu.

4. Install Kernel Flasher from the Market and backup the kernel.

5. use Rom Manager to flash Data and Dalvik init.d-busybox with data to SD update.zip to fix Data and Dalvik init.d-busybox from below link:

6- When finshed you should be able to backup and restore the ROM using Rom Mananger.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] treobwoy:
I guess I'm the first casualty of this. I did everything to the letter in the post up to step five. Once i flashed 4g_sd-fix_New in rom manager it the phone rebooted and did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do. It no factory reset my phone and neither the sd card nor the internal storage mount.

Any help would be appreciated here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
I got the same issue. Flashing back to stock now. It also wiped my entire SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
For this step do you mean go into recovery and flash or do you mean use ROM Manager and "Install ROM from SD Card"?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
doing it through rom manager worked

Let us know if you get it working. And what you did.

Is anyone able to get data back?

I tried using Odin to flash to stock and I'm still unable to get data connection unless I connect to Wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
I sure hope you modified the SD Fix.....

That fix was created by Eugene and I to fix mounting for the Vibrant. If flashed to a 4G, it'll break.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] spockmeat:
I wouldn't recommend this method at all, this looks risky. Just wait for krylon or koush to come out with a proper release of cwm. I have offered to lend my phone to either of them and im sure as soon as either one has the time they will get it going.

I don't like doing things half ass, and while the work is appreciated i wouldn't recommend this guide to the average user as i lost my first 4g to a similar guide.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Are you talking about step 5?

I tried all the steps till 5 and get the data not being able to connect and then after I Odin back to stock and I'm unable to do step 6.

Krylon can you load up the 2 ROM's you have available for us to try if we can get this damn thing to work? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
Yes, Step 5 was created by us to allow both Internal and External SD to auto mount to the phone and PC on the VIBRANT.

We had to modify the stock 4G files to allow this due to the 4G only having a external SD.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
For now, I'm reporting this thread due to it being just like the last "CWM for Vibrant works on the 4G" thread which caused bricks, which resulted in me having to create the ODIN image for everyone.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garfnodie:
I am, as the subject says, thinking of ditching TMo and my N1 and going back to Sprint and getting either an Epic 4G or an Evo 4G.

I'm curious as to the differences between the N1 and Epic/Evo where custom roms are concerned. On my N1, it's so easy to switch back and forth between custom roms via recovery, especially with Clockwork. I just tell it to backup the current rom and install the new one, and five minutes later, I'm up and running. Are things this easy with the Epic and Evo as well?

Any other insights you all could provide would be greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savagenative:
I can't speak for the EVO but the Epic is sweet. This phone is my very first smartphone...I used to have a razr not but 2 months ago. So I've never changed roms and what not but the Epic is super easy...pretty much what you described. I back up in cwm and install the new rom and that's it new rom is working. 2 weeks after I got the phone I was playing with roms.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magic Oreo:
with cm7 i see no advantages the evo has over the epic, it used to be they had better software, but in no time we shall have better hardware + the roms :).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savagenative:
I can't wait for cm7...my buddy has gingerbread on his N1 and it's awesome, can't wait to have it on the epic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
They are both just as easy. Epic has clockwork and the evo has clockwork or amon RA recovery. Evo is a little harder to root cause of the security on the nand partition. Its still easy though. Once rooted flashing roms are all the same on android phones.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garfnodie:
Good to know, I wan't sure how others differed since the N1 was designed from the begging to be mostly open and easy to root.

Now to decide, humongous LCD, or pretty large Super AMOLED.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garfnodie:
Another question, something I've never totally grasped is the internal storage of Android phones.

If I understand correctly, the Evo has twice the storage of the N1, and the Epic has even more yet. The Epic specs I've seen say 8-16GB. First, which one is it, 8 or 16, and is this system and app. Am I to understand that I'd have at least 8GB available for the system and apps? That would totally awesome, no more A2SD, wouldn't need it.

I'd imagine that running CM7 on the Evo would leave a lot of space available since it doesn't have all that Sense bloat on it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
That is SD card that it comes with. The epic comes with.a 16 gb card and the evo comes with an 8 TB card. As far as internal memory they are about the same. After the phone is booted and before any apps are installed the epic has about 400 mbs of storage left. About tue same for evo so apps2sd might still be needed.You can.always buy another SD card for either phone. I have the epic and my wife has the evo so I get to play with both of them.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garfnodie:
I'm wanting to take advantage of the $125 ETF credit Sprint is offering, I have till April 14th for that though, so I'll wait and see what come from CTIA. I figure between the $125, and the at least $250 I could get for my Nexus, I'll come out pretty good money wise.

I really like Sprints Any Mobile Any Time, since 95% of my calls are to mobile phones, I can get the smallest package and save some money. I'll get it at Best Buy too so I don't have to worry about any mail in's and get the Black Tie protection as well. Had the Black Tie when I had a Palm Pre, dropped the phone four days after I got it and broke the screen, hand a new Pre a week later no questions asked. Best insurance out there IMO.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coke32:
get the evo.

i had the evo, got the epic, miss the evo. epics hardware may be better, but at this point n time there is a lot more roms to play and have a good time with on the evo. the miui rom for the evo right now is very stable and LOTS of fun.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garfnodie:
So I'm glad I decided to wait until after CTIA to get a phone. I've been seeing reports on Engadget, Gizmodo, and Android Central about a bad-ass phone coming out on Sprint. I just hope the phone comes about before the middle of April.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contradude:
If you do get an epic, look into the bonsai rom, It rocks. Also when you flash the evo, there's a chance of permabricking the 4g if you don't backup the rsa keys right. I'd recommend either the epic 4g or nexus s 4g if you're going to wait for the new releases
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austin420:
alot of epic and evo owners have had issues with a 30 day turn around with the black tie from best buy. since sprint changed their insurance policies to include physical damage with no deductible, i think it is better. they basicaly dont even jack with repair for the most part. they just switch it out on the spot for you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-980:
From the research I did a few months ago when I got my tax return (it's awesome being a single parent, lol) I spent at least 3 weeks researching the Evo, Slide, and the Epic. Since I was coming from an HTC Hero, the Slide was automatically thrown off the list because it did not have a 1GHz processor. I hear it isn't much of a difference between the Evo and the slide (just the speed of the phone) but one thing I wanted going into a new phone is a 1ghz processor and nothing less.

So after all the research was done and it was time to make the decision, it came down to this:

EVO has an FM Tuner, huge screen, very nice widgets (HTC Sense), and huge buttons on the screen

Epic has a keyboard (HUGE plus for me), touchwiz 3 (I love it, so clean and simple), and almost the same size as the Evo. It sucks it doesn't have the FM tuner but I was only going to use it for Baseball games (I just bought the app instead).

The only major things I saw different between the two was the interface, keyboard, and the screen itself. If you put an Evo next to an Epic, the screen on the Evo looked dull.

Final Virdict: If you want a keyboard and are going to root, the Epic is the way to go. If you just watch touch screen or just don't care and AREN'T going to root, then the Evo is the right one. Samsung blows at updating their software.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garfnodie:
I didn't realize Sprint had changed their insurance and deductibles. When I left Sprint a little over a year ago, they had $100 ded. for smart phones and no guarantee that you'd get the same model phone back and if water damage, sorry your screwed. Do they cover basic water damage as well now, such as the quick dunk in water? When I had black tie, it was physical and minor water damage for $10/month.

For those thinking of getting a 10s instead of a G-Tablet...I just got an e-mail from Viewsonic in response to an inquiry e-mail I sent them the other day. Here is their response.

"Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you.

I decided to get a G-Tablet and goof around with it for a while. The 10s is not much of an update and I really don't care much about the HDMI port or other changes. Benefits of the G-Tablet seem to outweigh the 10s in my book, plus it is cheaper now.

I'm running CM7 R15 on my emmc and have been using BrianF21's NF rom for video playback since CM7 doesn't have hardware acceleration working on Gingerbread (at least not as of R15) and my audio gets out of sync during videos.

So far I have not been able to get the market to download apps while running the NF rom off the SD. I looked through the forum and saw the notes to clear cache, delete framework data, and reboot...I've tried it multiple times to no avail. Market opens and allows me to browse, but whenever I try to download, I get a "download unsuccessful" error.

I've reflashed the rom, and tried it on 2 different cards (an 8gb wintec and a 16gb Adata)

Any ideas on what's wrong with the market?

Side note, When I boot after a fresh flash of the rom, the "clear cache" option is grayed out for market. I cleared data thinking that that's what the poster might have meant. Could that be my problem?
