Hello. I have done all the research I think I can possibly do. I hate to ask away but here goes. Lets start by saying I am some what new to the concept of customizing my device. I started with an iPhone (i know) and decided I was ready to change to Android for more of an experience. I chose the Captivate because it fit my budget, specs were nice, and I've been with AT&T for ten years. I browsed the internet for a couple of weeks and brushed up on the terms, and concepts of rooting my device. I felt I had learned enough and rooted my phone. To tell the truth, being able to use an emulator to play old 8bit games on my phone sold me on the rooting idea. My root works great and I have all the apps I need to maintain it. I am still learning though and have hit a BUMP in the road. I can't get my games to "play". They load fine after being zipped, and look ready to go, but I'm getting no sound, and the "buttons" don't work. It shows the game, with options for 1 player or 2 players, but I am basically stuck. When I click on the screen it just vibrates. I am using the Nesoid emulator. DroidEmuROMget for my ROM (only thing out there I could find since ROMgrabber recently has been removed) and AndroZip to unzip. All this I can do from my phone. My main question out of this BOOK I just wrote is. Am I doing something wrong? Bad ROM? I want to learn what to do, and can't get the right info, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I'm not able to find help anywhere and some of you appear to be VERY knowledgeable.
I got a replacement R2D2 Droid 2 that came preloaded with Gingerbread after my first R2(froyo) started loosing keys and was replaced. I initially loaded Z4root, unfortunately wasn't paying attention and ran a 'partial root' and loaded some apps and a Liberty platform onto it. When the phone reset, it had integrated the Liberty SMS application into the factory ROM giving me double messages sent/received(ANNOYING). So, I've put in over 10 hours now trying to re-root it to no avail. It appears to be locked in a manner of speaking. My only hope is to get a copy of a stock R2D2 Droid2 ROM and re-load it onto the phone and THEN re-run a root application.
My question to you is, do you know of a copy of the original, factory, bare bones R2D2 Droid 2 ROM for Gingerbread that I could download? I've scoured the threads/forums and none of the links are active and I can't find it. I appreciate ANY help you can offer...
***OK, I realize that the R2 Droid 2 is over a year old but really, guys? Do you mean to tell me that NOBODY has any help for me here? The phone still works great(aside from sms double send/receive) and I feel it's a bit 'stuffy' that there isn't a single person here that will lend hand for a few minutes... Maybe I'm just bitter, or disappointed by what I thought to be a progressive and helpful community.
I guess I will wait to see if I'm wrong...Thanks to anyone that wanted to help but didn't have the means.
I downloaded angry birds space but it loads up but gets stuck at the menu is anyone else having this problem?
Yeah. I don't think it can run on our phone very well. The only Angry Bird game that could play was that modified one that was posted a long time ago.
Does anyone know where to find the really old one that doesn't lag on the Hero?
I have it, but dont know where i found that one lol. All i can say is that it still lags a bit.
I remember getting one from GetJar or something a long time ago. I have an Angry Birds apk on my 4shared that I don't remember putting there, I guess it might be that one. I'll try it later.
my phone can't play it too
Here is the old version that doesn't lag really badly on the Hero. It's 1.3.5. I think it works better in airplane mode because of the ads. This is the one without the background and the ground colored.

I can't run virtually anything anymore

I got to the point where I couldn't reliably run anything. The Hero is a really great phone, but that ship has sailed.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 and I want Jellybean on it pretty bad. Jellybean is android 4.2, I think. Right now I have 4.0.4 and turned off OTA because I have a rooted stock ROM. My Friend has the same tablet, NOT rooted and took the latest OTA update. She still has 4.0.4 but a different kernel. Samsung is really dragging their butts about releasing Jellybean for this tablet, what is the problem?
I use Clockworkmod ROM manager to manage my ROMs, but originally rooted with Odin and a Windows 7 laptop. Does anybody actually have a GT-P5113 rooted and working on Jellybean yet or is this just a fantasy?
If so, could you please tell how you did it, source files, or at least a URL to the howto page?
Thanks.
I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2. It's not 4.2 but is Jelly Bean. Look in the tab 2 development forum a couple topics down

Yeah? No kidding? Well that is better than what I got, I did a cyanogenmod through clockworkmod and it was pretty cool and all, but no jellybean. Still had 4.0.4. I messed with it for a while, but all my stuff was gone and even Titanium could not bring it back. Since the new ROM didn't do anything spectacular, I used CWM to put back my old rom and apps. I do not want to start all over again if it is not what I want.
I will go see if I can find it. If you can, give me some links to check out. Thanks! :good:

Yah, it is true, there are JB updates for this thing. All ROMs are rooted so there we go! What I found is:
[ROM][GT-P51XX][JB][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10 official nightly builds
Now the instructions say to use the P5100 ROM but there are P5113 ROMS too. We also need Google Apps: Oh Christ, good luck figuring out which one you need.
For JB we need a CyanogenMod 10. Can be found here for P5113.
We get Android 4.1.2 and Jellybean! I did this last night from the Cyanogen mods in CWM and was not impressed, plus I did not read the instructions about using Titanium to backup only my user apps and NOT the data. NO system apps. Thus, I could not use Titanium to restore my stuff and was pretty pissed about starting all the way over and not even having JB. This is different and this I can do, besides, it is not even difficult.
I am definitely going for this but this time, I will do it right, get my apps backed up in Titanium the way it says, get the right ROM from the page I gave you the link for, and follow the instructions in the above link. I need some time for this but tomorrow I have to go and get my girl. She is close to 100 miles away and I got a roommate moving in for a few months, this will be hectic but I will get it done. Since doing this ROM will put me back to stock with all my stuff gone, I need my apps and google maps and navigator to get my baby, I restored back to my rooted Touch Wiz because everything works great. In the car, I use my Verizon Razr Maxx to get WiFi without that hot spot bill with an essential tool for rooted phones: wifi tether for root users. I turn this on, I have wifi for the tablet and can use Google Navigator on the big screen, not to mention great music and talk radio with Tune In, Pandora, or Slacker. If you got a rooted phone and a WiFi tablet, this is a Must Have app and it is totally free!
Thanks man. If anyone is interested in what happened, did it work, is it cool? Is it difficult, and do I have any tips, I will be glad to post them here, upon request. Wish me luck and thanks dude!
Hi Ohmster - Ok, I thought about giving you the rom I am using but decided you should see which one you want. Aside from that I am using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892046.
It seems to be working very well for me.
Good luck picking up your girl. Since you are where you are you shouldn't have any weather (snow) problems.

Yeah, that is the one I was looking at. Hey, did you backup your apps to Titanium? I never backed up "just downloaded apps without data before" and that is what I have to do or else I will be stuck trying to remember and install almost 400 apps. Did you use Titanium to restore your apps or did you just do the ROM and then do everything by hand after that? Oh, do you have a GT-P5113? Thanks!
I have a I777 ATT so I have a lot of my backups with titanium and just transfered them over to the Tab. Most of the time I just restore app and no data. Some I get them fresh from the market. Yes I am using Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 WiFi, GT-5113 same as you.

Yep, that's the one that I am looking at. I have had this thing on my screen for days, wanting to do it, but not wanting to lose the tab if I have to pickup my girl, she lives about 75 miles away and the huge 10.1" tab screen is excellent for Google Maps and better yet, Google Navigation. It gets me right there and if I am low on cash, I can tell it to bypass tolls. The Florida Turnpike and I95 pretty much run, side by side, so either is about the same drive, but the Turnpike will cost about $7-8 each way, only two lanes, no stops but for 50 mile apart rest areas. I95 is free and has more lanes but chokes with traffic during the week at rush hour.
The rest of you guys can skip this stuff in red, it is way off topic...
This really sucks man, she is watching over her sick dad, he has black lung on oxygen all the time, Virginia and the coal mines, you know. Then he is hospitalized with a heart attack. So, she stays at his side 24/7. Sleeping on the hospital floor and all that. The other kids, many older, do not bother this much. He comes home and she sleeps in his room, on the floor, by his side, to give medicine on schedule and in case he has any sort of complication. I tell her that she is burning the candle at both ends and will not make it, come down by me, let me pamper you for two days, decompress, and feel good. We will get you a self inflating air mattress to cover your sleeping needs, plus whatever kind of girly stuff she needs. It takes her a whole day and night to start to loosen up and feel better. Now she goes into the shower, next stop, Netflix in the bed for some fun and rest. They phone rings, it her family, telling her dad needs her, he is getting worse and she is the only one who can care for him proper. She made out a detailed notebook of prescription medication, dates, times, initials, just to make sure that he is cared for proper, and the lazy ass sister iwth 6 kids and all the rest of them cannot "take care of dad" so she has to come home, NOW. *@# Dammit, there goes our "happy time"
AND the next day of rest and pampering for my baby. She is a good chick, she makes me lay down and does her thing, she won't leave unless I am "so satisfied that I won't even look at another girl" (I don't look at other women anyway, I am old fashioned and never cheat.) and right back into the car we go, to take her home and then I drive back home again. I only got like 4 hours sleep the night before and I am way too tired to make this drive but I have to. She is *****ing the entire way to let her drive, but she does not have a license so I am a bit uncomfortable with that so I have to put up with her the whole time and she is right. (She owes fines from a long time ago and we do not have the money yet to pay them all off, payment plan.) I make it there, dad seems no worse than when we left or so it seems, and I drive home. Got pretty close too but then got nailed by a State Trooper, caught me not staying in my lane and everyone is doing 65-70 MPH, do 55 and you will get run over. I show my credentials and explain that I am way tired, the entire dad/girl/sick stuff so he gives me a sobriety test. Follow the pen with your eyes only. What is your education level, high school graduate? Recite the alphabet, NO singing, from A to Z. I pass both tests with ease. He says fatigue and intoxicated appear the same to a cop so I think maybe he will give me some sort of break, only 15 miles from home now. NO. On ticket for "Fail to stay in single lane", $166 plus one for "Unlawful speed 70 Interstate", $266. $432 in fines plus points, could this day get ANY worse?!! And I am a decent guy too. Never lie, never cheat, don't steal, faithful, the whole 9 yards! I need a ticket lawyer. ...sigh.
Yeah, here is the happy couple... Pictures Attached.
So yeah, that is exactly the ROM I am looking at, you say it is good, I am up for it. I did grab a Cyanogen 9 from inside of CWM, but that was not Jellybean and then everything was gone. ClockworkMod made the entire thing fast and easy, but did not offer cyanogen 10. I restored the previous backup.
Okay, so help me out here. The download links on that page do not work, man. The Google Apps are so numerous, which one did you install for your GT-P5113? I want to do this really bad but when I tried CMK9, CWM made it real easy, backed up the current system first, did the update really fast, wiped all caches, and I was left with, not much of anything. I did install Gapps and downloaded the Titanium backujp that I paid for, wanted to put my stuff back but Titanium could not find any backups. I forgot to do the setup and tell it to look on the SD card as well as Dropbox and G Drive, I think I am supposed to restore apps only, NO DATA. Once I put my gmail account back in, my contacts and all should come back and Titanium will do the apps so this should not be that hard.
I can download the ROM and install from SD card with CWM, should be a piece of cake, but I need good links to the ROM AND Gapps. Can you help me out? I want what you got. Thanks!
[Solved] 4.2.1 installed!
I finally got Jellybean installed with the Cyanogenmod ROM 10.1. This one works good.
cm-10-20121130-EXPERIMENTAL-p5110-CODEWORKX.zip
gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip
This page tells exactly how to do it and where to get the files.
By the way, you can forget all that attach the cable to the PC stuff and just use Clockworkmod ROM manager to install this, piece of cake. Put the two files on sdcard, boot to recovery, wipe both caches, install the zip for the ROM and install the zip for gapps. Done!
Thanks everybody. Just wanted to close this thread properly.
Anybody having any issues with leads' rom launching games. I try launching angry birds, doodle god, among other games and they try to load and pretty quickly fail and launch me back to the games hub. Anybody else experiencing this? I would have posted this on the rom thread itself but since I'm new here they don't let me post questions on the dev threads.
i am using the same rom on my Arrive, im not having trouble with my games though.
when i was using the stock Mango rom, i sometimes had to reboot my phone after installing certain games or sometimes games just wouldn't open all the way. it would get to the title screen but then exit to the games hub.

Just saw this message. Tnx for the reply. Yeah it was an issue with xbox live on the phone. He fixed it pretty quickly after it happened. I'm trying out sianto's rom right now. I've only exclusively used lead poizons rom.

Dynamics ROM does not exist for the the CDMA variant of the HTC 7 Pro (Arrive). Keeping that in mind, this is an old post and this issue is no longer present in the current ROM. I merely wanted mention that if someone has an the Arrive, they should NOT be flashing the linked Dynamics ROM, unless they want an savvy brick to keep them company.

Yes this issue was resolved a while back and quickly. Tnx lead. I need to close this post down. I only replied because someone else was courteous enough to answer. I look forward to your next rom. I'm holding out till may before I get a new phone. Although I'm going to switch to AT&T and perhaps that Nokia Lumia made with aluminum materials. Thanks for all your heard work on the Arrive.
