probably not the right area to post this. post in q and a
I just put both widgets, the small and big, on my screen. I got no problems with BW.
Mines work just fine. its prob something you did wrong?
Lol the market auto installed... Its installed on market.. But when i press and hold, go to widgets.. all i see is the standard froyo ones :S
Fixed by reinstalling lol
same here only froyo widgets
maybe a reboot will show all your restored apps.
I got a notification saying all apps were restored.
Wrong Section - Move this to Q & A
Can someone move this thread?
When I turned my phone on this morning all my Widgets are gone again!!
Waiting eagerly for a cm mod of this, maybe it's cus of the SD install
It keeps putting me back to android keyboard too

Same exactly problem here, thank god I wasn't alone...... Keyboard goes back to stock on reboot and beautiful widgets gets removed from screen/menu to add it back.....Have to uninstall/reinstall.......
EDIT: Even mounting the SD card removes my Beautiful Widget.......WTF Google!!!
Maybe we need to wipe and re flash? Im pleased it isn't just me lol. All my widgets go lol
well i been playing around with it..... Firstly, I uninstalled any apps that were giving me trouble (Beautiful Widgets, HTC_IME keyboard and cachemate widget).... The I used 'pm setInstallLocation 0' to have my apps install back to the phone storage..... I can now reboot without losing my shiiiiiit!! So hope this helps some of you, course there not on 'SD' then but hey they don't alllllll need to be
Read this and you'll see which apps won't be able to install on SDcard without breaking: Install Location Details
So i guess its best to install normal apps on sd, any widget programs etc on the phone?
You have to install the app on phone memory in order to make widgets work.
Apps on SD card will not have widgets available to launcher.
Maybe it's a bug in Froyo, or technical issues can't be solve by Google (unlikely) :/
Simple fix
1)
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 0
This will set it back to factory settings, THEN reinstall beautiful widgets and every other widget that gives you problems upon reboot. This will reinstall it back on your phone
*after reinstall of widgets, or any thing else that disappear upon reboot, proceed to step 2*
2)
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 2
This will default you back to installing apps to SD card.
=====
Apparently, even when i was setup as "pm setInstallLocation 0" moving the beautiful widgets back to phone memory via "manage applications" didn't not hold up after reboot. This method i mentioned does, after numerous reboots!
Enjoy
Terminal set locations works, but you can also just select the app(s) move to phone option and reboot the apps should be moved. Works for me

I want Rom support cdma in Thailand pless
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Nice ROM. Very fast and visually very nice... But there are some problems that I have found.
1) *228 PRL update will Force Close the Phone App. (this is a deal breaker for me)
2) The HTC keyboard enclosed will Force Close if you change input to that (I dont use it anyway, bought Smart Keyboard pro)
3) Some reports of Beautiful Widgets Weather not geolocating.. I had an issue with getting it to do this with the Accuweather setting for weather, but once I put it to Google for weather it worked and worked once I set it back to Accuweather.
4) When entering APNS settings for MMS Carrier settings, when you scroll down the settings you inputted if they scroll off the screen they are lost.. The only way to do this was to enter settings, save... go back in, scroll down... enter the other settings. Save... etc etc...
5) does not recognize the network its connected to, so the roaming signal will show on US Cellular for example, even though it is NOT roaming

1) Use *228+ -- that will work. Fix may be coming soon so the + doesn't have to be used.
2) Haven't looked, I don't use that KB. Might remove.
3) Interesting
4) What method are using to enter APNS?
5) Just like CM6, you can place a custom eri.xml in /data. This will fix the roaming indicator

1) Will try that when I put the ROM back on.. went back to Cyanogen for today at work..
2) Yes totally force closes, even on fresh install
4) Using voice dialer and saying Open APNS.. then edit the info.
5) Will try that..
The HTC IME mod keyboard does work. I installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled and it worked. So you might want to try it.
So far so good on the ROM. Everything seems to work fine, the battery life is pretty decent, and I'm happy with it. Only problem is that my Friends widget with Launcher Pro Plus doesn't seem to work. Both my twitter and facebook are linked, but the widget doesn't seem to retrieve statuses/tweets.
I just deleted the HTC_IME, it was too glitchy for me.. another thing that needs to be removed, the FM Radio.. does not work with CDMA Desire at all...
Reloaded this ROM and made the XML mod so it wont show as roaming anymore. Also *228+ works just fine... Loving it so far. Apps2SD doesnt allow as many apps to be moved to the SDCard like in Cyanogen (For example I cant move some of Adobe flash to the SDCard, can on Cyanogen but not on MIUI) Not a big deal as I have a custom MTD layout that gives me 230mb of free space on fresh install =)

Good to hear! Yes, I intended to remove FM radio, but forgot. Working on getting this mornings release of MIUI ported over as we speak.
Which custom MTD did you use? I'm considering going that route as well.

used Firerats Custom MTD from this thread here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...-installing-cyanogenmod6-gapps-firerats-cmtd/
Gives you 150mb for system and gets rid of the cache partition so cache will then be on your Data partition instead.. That way the cache partition isn't sitting there not used (like most of the time) and can be used by the system instead.. However this would be bad if you really fill the phone up and have no room for any cache.. Just keep on top of it. Got a ton of apps installed now and I still have 180mb free on the device.. .. Not had any performance issues running it this way with either Cyanogen OR MIUI.
Just follow the guide there, and instead of using Cyanogen use the MiUI Rom... Works a treat..
How much of the system partition does MIUI use? You may have to edit the mtdpartmap.txt (as outlined in my guide linked in the post above; section 'Installing') so that the ROM will fit.
Otherwise, if you get a fully functional build up, I would love to try it out

It IS fully functional as long as you do what I said a couple of posts back, delete the FM Radio App, HTC_IME and put the ERI file in so you get carrier stats so you dont get the roaming symbol anymore.
System storage using the Firerat MTD of 150 2 gives me 35.44mb free on the 150mb System partition..
This ROM is really growing on me... Some things to consider..
Do NOT use titanium backup to backup and restore the APNs to MIUI, make sure you enter them yourself from scratch.. Also do NOT restore any SMS messages.. It will make your message app FC all the time.. start from scratch with that.. Using Titanium to restore stuff like Angry Birds saves etc is fine, just dont use it for any system stuff, looks like it has some compatibility issues..
Other than that, and the *228 issue (just use *228+) its great... It looks and feels totally different from other Android ROMS which is probably why I am liking it..
Besides, do a nandroid backup and take the plunge...

Threw this in running well liking it so far
Downloading this right now.
EDIT: Installed, and. . . oh wow. This is cool. . .
My screen is very difficult to activate items on the Launcher Pro Dock such as the App Drawer, etc. For that matter any icons near the dock in either Landscape or Portrait are difficult are require more pressure or tapping numerous times.
I have already tried TouchRecalibrate with no apparent change.
Any suggestions?
If it weren't for the app drawer I would gorgo using the dock. Anyway to get an icon to open the app drawer somewhere other on my screen rather than on the dock? That would solve my problem
Forgot to mention it is TnT Lite v3.13
First of all, why are you on TnT lite v3.13? Latest is 4.2.2, and is much improved.
Have you tried gojimi's touch recalibration .apk at this link?
If this doesn't work, you can try it the old manual way by creating a blank file named "calibration.ini" , and place it in /sdcard and /sdcard2, for good measure.
Reboot and it should be better, Do Not Touch the screen while it's rebooting. After boot, rename files to .bak or just delete them so it doesn't recalibrate every boot.
If none of it works, you could try to fix permissions in clockworkmod (simplest), or wipe user data and caches (you'll have to re-install apps), or (last resort) nvflash back to original stock ROM, re-partition sdcard 2048 and 0 ( this deletes contents of sdcard, so back up data first!!!), and start over from scratch with bekit's clockworkmod (bekit-0.8) and then latest TnT lite.
Did you forget to pluck the chicken?
You can create a folder on your desktop and drag all your apps to that folder but that may take awhile depending on the number of apps you have.
There's also an app that you can try but it looks kinda ugly to me: http://www.appbrain.com/app/everywhere-app-drawer/com.E.App.Drawer
Thanks, The calibration.ini file did not seem to make a difference. I am kinda new to this stuff. How do I upgrade to the latest TNT? I have clockwork .08?. I have titanium. Not sure what to do. Will I have to redo the market fix and everything else?
Everything is running great the way it is but for this issue. Can I get an APP DRAWER to relocate where I want it on the screen. Is there an app that can do this for me?
install smart taskbar from the market.
If you backup your apps with titanium the upgrade is pretty painless. Download the latest TnTlite. Reboot in to clockwork and clear data/cache. Flash the new TnTlite. REstore your apps with titanium
I c ame up with a fix that works for me for now. I was able to remap the Home Button to open the app drawer. And it still opens the RECENT APPS on long pressing. I am glad I can open the app drewer with ease now. I will think about upgrading to latest TNT, but hate to start over. All is running well.
I did it in the Launcher Pro settings under BEHAVIOR SETTINGS and changed the action of the Home Screen Button
Thanks all that replied. I did flash 4.2.2 and all is good now.
Just picked one up yesterday for $99.99

Link for those who want to see more, but you have to buy it in store:
http://www.biglots.com/search/product/7324
Specs are pretty good for only $100 except the screen resolution is a bit low, but you get ICS.
I had this in my hands today at biglots,im in baltimore,md let me tell u its very smooth,no delay in opening apps,booted in like 20 sec,only turn off was no camera,im really thinking about going back and getting one tomorrow,shoot for $99 u can't beat it,a tablet with ics,plus there is a following for it on freaktab,i just wanted to read up on it before i bought it and so far every review seem good,so looks like tomorrow im gonna grab one cause they had about 10 in stock,and ill be back tomorrow with a brief review on how it works and the pros vs cons of getting this tablet!!!! : )

For $99.99 its one good tablet.
No camera and no bluetooth but its not a deal breaker for me.
Compare to kindle fire at $199 and running gingerbread, the polaroid is a steal.
I use acer iconia a500 for work, kindle fire and nook tablet as spare for my nieces and nephews.
Now I have this tablet for them to play.
And you can plug in USB thumb drive through micro USB adapter and it works.
Installing google play market is as easy as installing google services framework.apk (by tapping it) than push/copy vending.apk to system/app directory and reboot. I use ES file explorer to push the files.
Battery life kinda suck but not too shabby it last 4 hours for me playing netfilx non stop.
The screen has 5 points capacitive and quite responsive.
As long as you dont have high expectation you wont be disappointed.
I believe the old tablet ICS version is semi rooted (you need to remount the system directory to RW with root explorer or ES file explorer), However mine is Fully rooted out of the box (The system folder already mounted as RW)
Great HW, but 512mb if kernel isnt good are not much...
for only 99$ it's great anyway
Good choice for starter tab
I picked one up this weekend, and I have to say it is an excellent choice for the money. completly rooted from the factory you can install any app from the market that is compatible with tablets once you have google play installed. i also replaced the stock launcher with Nova Launcher which works flawlessly, upgraded the version of youtube that came with the device without issues and also was able to install most of the google apps from CM including gmail, calendar, galary etc.
The only draw back at this point is no custom recovery so building and flashing custom roms is at this point not an option however it is android 4.0.3 and you can pull and edit any of the system files and framework to your hearts desire you just need to be careful if you make an edit that prevents it from booting your basically screwed your only hope will be if you can push the original file back via adb.
I am going to start looking into some custom themes and possibly a customized systemUI and framework as time permits, I am currently busy with a Sense 3.6 and Sense 4.0a rom for the inspire/desireHD world so will try to fit this in as time permits.
My recomendation is if you want a inexpensive tablet to play with that has some excellent capabilities go get one of these before there gone.

device comes prerooted, you need to install a root capable file explorer first. here's how:
1. download and install the latest Android SDK
2. Using ADB commands
a. connect your 701i to your PC
b. at a command prompt type "adb remount"
c. type "adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app/"
d. type "adb push Vending.apk /system/app/"
e. type "adb reboot"
3. open "Google Play" from your apps drawer
4. search for "esfile explorer"
5. install "esfile explorer"
now you have google play and a root capable file explorer.
google apps can be found searching google or xda (make sure it the ICS version)

Download the file below
http://rapidshare.com/files/4069402236/marketpolaroid.zip
Unzip and copy it into your sd card
insert the sd card into the tablet
open file manager (already there on your tablet)
navigate to your sd card and tap to install
ES File Explorer 1.6.1.3.apk
OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
To check root access
- Open es file explorer
- go to settings
- scroll down to Root settings
- make sure there are check sign under Root Explorer and Mount File System (Mine already selected since its fully rooted out of the box) If not, select or check it to have root access to system folder
Install Market
- With ES file explorer Navigate to your ext-sdcard (by tapping the star sign/Favorites) and copy Vending.apk to system/app by the following
- Long press Vending.apk and select copy (you will see drawer icon on the bottom)
- Select favorites (star symbol) and tap phone symbol or / (its the second icon from the left after Home icon)
- Tap system folder than tap app folder
- Once you on app folder, drag the drawer icon up and tap Vending.apk to paste it.
- Once its successfully done you need to change the Permissions to RW R R
by long press the Vending.apk-Properties - than change (under permissions)
If for some reason you cant install OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk by tapping it, do the same procedure as copying the Vending.apk
Now reboot and you should have Google Market.
Got mine today this thing is great,i hope someone can get a custom recovery working on here and maybe get some custom roms working on here,i'd like to see what sense 4.0 looks like on here,i think it would look bad ass,out of a 1to10 i give it a 9 pretty freakin sweet for a $100 ics tablet.

Found this quite interesting when I was in the Big Lots store yesterday. Almost picked it up then. After reading some info here, seeing that it is pre-rooted and can get the google marketplace, I'm in. Gonna be going tomorrow to get one.
I'm the unlucky one. I bought one today and when I checked the Android version it said 2.3.4.
My model is 701c...gonna take it back and check for the 701i
Anyone know how, or if there's a way to move the status bar to the top rather than the bottom?

I picked one of these up yesterday on an impulse buy. Fairly impressed for the price.
Is there a difference between the 701i and the 701c? The Big Lots I went to only had the 701c.
Just upgraded to tweeked 3 and have some problems:
1. I can't find the voicemail app & don't know how to call VM. where do I get the app?
2. Buddies now is missing. Won't restore via titanium backup.
3. I migrated from eclipse rom. How do I get the eclipse rom keyboard and colors?
4. Howdo Irestore the default power on and power off animations?
5. Verizon Data APP / My veerizon forces close on startup.
I think that is it for now. Will post when I have some time to play with it.

1. You don't need the app for voicemail. Just dial *86 or hold down 1 in the dialer.
2. Buddies now is considered bloat and you can only use it on the stock launcher anyway. If you want it it is in tweaktools.
3. I believe eclipse keyboard was either a themed ICS or themed Swype (I don't remember which - it was too long ago). Either way both are available if you search. As for the colors - since Nitro stopped working on the charge we don't have that, but there are a lot of themes on tweaktools.
4. Tweaktools
5. It works fine for me. Could be a bad flash, could be something else.
And I guess we have another nocturnal person here.
The vvm stuff was also deemed bloat, but all of that stuff can be restored using tweaktools OR the system apps and system app flasher in the tweaked op. Jihad has you covered on the rest (thanks Jihad).
I got the verizon app to work after deleting and reinstalling. The rest I can live with till I have a chance to research Tweaktools. Most of the stuff is minor and just me being picky as I'm not yet used to the tweeked ROM.
Tweakedtools: doesn't seem to be working. I can get into the menu and install a theme and buddies now, but they don't act as though they ever got installed. even rebooted. What the heck?

Ok. now it has the permission and does install things like buddies now, but when I try to install a theme or boot animation I get the android robot with the exclamation point and it does not install. what can I possibly be doing wrong? do i need to install something like CWM?

You don't have CWM installed? I doubt it works with stock recovery. When you installed Tweaked did you use the Odin version without CWM? You should get and install CWM.
The only 2 boot animations that work are Stock Galaxy S boot and Stock DROID boot. They use the Samsung format that works with the stock kernel. Themes should work though.
Ok. Now I understand. I did use oden version without cwm. Now I need to oden cwm and I'll be good to go.
EDIT:
Thanks for the info, everything works.
Now I need to find a suitable keyboard---possibly one that mirrors the one in the eclipse rom.
On another note, I'm not all that happy with any of the included themes. How to I create the theme I want?
If you know Java and smali, you can rip apart the framework and make your own theme.

I have no idea on how to work with Java or what smali is.
I do have the old eclipse ROM. can't i take the theme files from there and somehow load them to the phone?
Regarding the keyoard, I couldn't get that swipe one to install as the app keeps asking me to login and I don't know how to generate a username and password. I'm now thinking that it was a Samsung keyboard, but I could be wrong.
Smali is basically the decompiled Android version of Java. In Android, everything gets packed up in .dex files for the Dalvik VM (Android's optimized version of the Java VM), and when you decompile them, you get Smali. It's like Java, but "distorted", for lack of a better word. If you know how to read Java, you can feel your way around, but it's different enough that even if you're good with Java, you'll have to relearn some things for Smali.
well...I did some searching on line and I think the stock theme that comes preloaded at the factory is what I want to get back to. Also the default Samsung keyboard is the one I want.
I'm leaning towards tossing tweaked out the window rather than getting frustrated. If I do that what do I loose and how would I add root to stock?
also, I can't manage to get the phone to vibrate when i tap the screen. Haptic feedback. How do I turn it on?

I have no idea on how to work with Java or what smali is.
I do have the old eclipse ROM. can't i take the theme files from there and somehow load them to the phone?
Regarding the keyoard, I couldn't get that swipe one to install as the app keeps asking me to login and I don't know how to generate a username and password. I'm now thinking that it was a Samsung keyboard, but I could be wrong.

No. What you think of as "files" are a series of edits in the framework. Obviously the framework for Tweaked is for Tweaked, and Eclipse is for Eclipse. If you're going to try to interchange these things you may as well just reinstall Eclipse.
For Swype, I'm not sure what you're talking about. There's a big honking button that says "register" on the website.

Not sure what you're looking at. The theme in Eclipse is NOTHING like the dickbutt gold (or pumpkin and poo) in stock. And the stock Samsung keyboard is God awful. Why not try something like SwiftKey 3? Swype is pretty good too, and it's free.
To root after restocking, all you would need to do is flash the SuperUser or SuperSU (whichever is your preference) zip in CWM. When you move from Tweaked (the only current custom ROM on the charge, by the way) you lose essentially everything. Dwitherell has put in numerous tweaks to improve the UI speed, and he has put in TSM parts... Plus you'll be back to the bloated whale this phone is at stock.
I believe most of the haptic feedback was removed in Tweaked because most view it as an annoying useless feature. I could be completely wrong but I don't really feel anything even though my haptic feedback is on.

I did nothing that would add or eliminate haptic feedback (outside of the entry in tsmparts, but I did nothing to hook that in if it needed hooking). Also, the stock samsung keyboard is called AxT9IME.apk. Sorry Tweaked is not to your liking. Have you tried the tw4 theme? That seems closer to the stock look at least. I didn't think anyone used it, but I can do a little work and get a stock theme variant together if you want. Also, rumor is some theme options will be added/returning soon...
And for what its worth flashing something different is a far better alternative then anything to do with a window.
Thanks for all the useful info. I must start by saying that i do like tweaked. It is much faster than what i had with eclipse. That said im not sure how much is due.to the rom and what is due.to the upgrade ota. I believe its mostly the rom. Way to go!
As for colors im not opposed to whats available im just used to what i had. The big complaint is that the calendar widgit does not have black text on a white background. Its not as legible but not horible. I can live with it. Im surprised there is no way to change colors like there is in windows control panel. Or an app for that. Oh well.
Thanks for.the keyboard.info. I'll take a look for it at lunch. As for missing the register button...it was to early to be doing anything tech.
Im sure that over time ill get more used to tweaked and be glad ro be uding it.
One last request...stock shutdown animation
Thats enough for now.

To be fair most of the speed change is due to the OTA - most of the edits made were the same as they were in the FP1 version, so I can't really take credit for that sort of thing. I don't have nor do I pretend to have the sort of skill necessary to do such things
As far as the stock shutdown animation, if there's some interest I could try to get that together. It required a number of framework.jar edits to switch the shutdown animation focus from reading a .qmg file to displaying a sequence of .pngs, so I would have to undo that sort of thing to make the shutdown.qmg work again. It wouldn't be too hard, so if there's some interest in that I can put something together and throw it on tweaktools.
I have interest but am not sure who else does and if its worth the time.
I googled the keyboard apk and downloaded it but it will not install. Is there a certain version that i need?

FWIW, I really lock the Tweaked Shutdown animation. Just need to find a sound byte to go with that (for those occasions when my phone shuts down without me knowing) - thinking of getting something from Southpark's tweak.
as for keyboards, have you tried ICS Keyboard? best in my experience.
Ice is not my thing. I just like the Samsung keyboard best. Just can't find a copy that installs.
Also what about stock screenshot setting?
