A few small things:
Intel should be intel.
Under CPU Optimization:
"Samsung’s CPU is set by default the run at 1gHz."
The should be to.
Sideloading:
"(don’t forget that after you install it from the market you still have to go to your app drawer and run busybox once so it installs)."
Should this be after you download it from the market?
ClockworkMod Recovery:
"ClockworkMod written for us by a developer that goes by the name of Koush"
Missing is.
"This gent puts a ton of work into helping us captivate owners out"
Replace puts with put and Capitalize Captivate.
Changing Your Messaging Ringtone:
"well the ones that matter anyway.."
Extra period.
Other than that, excellent guide. I'll definitely be using it when my Captivate arrives.

Thanks! I fixed all those errors but I'm not gonna upload the new version just yet because I will keep finding more errors so it just seems wasteful. I did not actually write most of the guide myself I just formatted it so there may be some mistakes I didn't pick up on.
i used this guide today and it delivered.

Hi,
Thanks for publishing this. It looks very useful, similar to Energy ROM.. But I am very new to Android phones (trying this on Samsung Captivate from AT&T, bought yesterday). I am running windows 7 ultimate 64bit and I exactly followed this guide. But somehow I am still not able to see the sd card. I tried placing the update.zip at Computer\SGH-I897\Phone and shut down the phone and tried restarting the phone by holding the up/down keys as well as power button. But after selecting reinstall packages it said could not find /sdcard/update.zip.. Pls held. Again very sorry if I did some mistake..

The SD card is simply the root directory of your phone. You do not need to open a folder, it is the highest folder you can place it in. Hope that helps
Somehow it was not able to find the sdcard root. Then I realized that you mentioned something called as Droid Explorer, I searched for it and installed it on my PC. But when I opened Droid Explorer, my device was not recognized, then I clicked on link on the explorer window, upon watching that video I enabled the USB Debugging, then I was able to see my device, then I selected connect to my device. After that I saw an explorer but it had empty root and I was not able to copy anything. There was a menu button at the top row named "Transfer to device or Copy to device" I selected that and selected update.zip file and tried to transfer. Something happened but still explorer was empty. Then from my phone Top slide down menu I selected mount USB storage and I started seeing windows explorer on my PC. Then apart from other folders I could see a folder sd in the root. Then I again put update.zip in the root.
Then followed the restart sequence, this time it found the file but exited after Signal 7. It was trying to asert something but could not find the correct model number I guess. My cell phone's model number is Samsung i897.
Please help

I did not write the PC instructions, so I can not help you (I only have a Mac). But the person who did can probably help you his username is systoxity.
Because not enough errors were found to make it worthwhile to update the PDF i will wait till tomorrow to fix the minor errors.
Good source of information
Thank you for putting this together. I am going to sticky this for the time being.
For installing the latest version of busy box, you should include that before the instructions for running titanium backup...the latest version of busybox installed from the market will work with titanium backup so theres no need to have to click the "problems" button...this way you wont have to do the busybox download step twice...should also save a few megs since titanium backup wont have its own copy of busybox installed BTW nice guide
You can also just mount the phone memory using windows explorer and move the file over. I was never able to get droid explorer to transfer the file. It always said it went but then was never there.
Anyway all I did was connected just as I was going to connect to kies but then when windows asked me what I wanted to do I clicked on open file view and dropped updated.zip on my phone.
Only issue that I had with rooting was I accidentally opened the file in windows(winrar). After I moved the file over it found it and attempted to install it but then exited with an error(do not remember exact error), but had to do with mounting. Anyway I re-downloaded file and saw file size was different. After I moved the file over again everything went great. I still haven't removed bloat-ware and such but thats next on the agenda.
Also I was on windows 7 64 bit, saw some other users in other threads saying they had issues connecting the phone. Everything so far has worked great for me
Thank you very much for this handy pdf file!
Somelinks aren't working
First of all I have to say very good guide for noobs!
1. when I downloaded the update.zip folder I didn't work I guess because the name of Samsung captivate is not in the folder or something. So I just downloaded the other file from the forums.
2. Link to CPU optimization doesn't work.
3. I downloaded the droid explorer. It connected to my phone but I was unable to transfer anything. So I just tapped on the USB connected in the notification bar and mounted the phone. This allowed me to use windows explorer to transfer files. I believe one can transfer files by selecting the option of Samsung Kies under USB settings.
I got all your feedback. It will all be corrected by tomorrow night.
Cool guide however the rumor is the GPS only gets turned on when pulling up an App that uses it, so that step in the "battery saving" section might not be necessary.
Also you may want to replace Market Enabler with Market Access. It's a rehash of Market Enabler but also has a Set on Boot option that keeps it persistent versus being reset each time.
You also Might want to add a Tips/Tricks Section..
Here You can put some cool tips like the one i found out about backlight control.

For some reason after like two days my next 3 asked me to update automatically.ALl you have to do is connect a usb cord to the pc and then turn off usb and it will update on its own and go into recovery.
So great ..thank u
Greetings all!
I have made several attempts at installing Market on my Next3 tablet with varying failures. Here is what I've done (with some details for those who haven't gotten this far):
1. Downloaded update.img from the provided link onto my Windows 7 64 bit PC.(I assume update.img to be a compressed opsys file which the Nextbook's Linux opsys recognizes (by its name/extension) and automatically launches it.)
2. With the Next3 running, I connect the USB cord to my computer.
3. I copy the update.img to the root of my 4gig sdhc card. (root being NOT in a folder or directory but at the top of the dir tree i.e. ROOT)
4. from my PC, I click on Safely Remove Hardware icon (found in the system tray) and disconnect the Next3 Tablet.
5. As soon as the PC disconnects the Next3 Tablet, a bar pops up on the Next3 screen asking if I wish to install the newly found update.img. (I disconnect the USB cord prior to answering)
6. I tell Next3 to install.
7. The screen displays update.img's installation progress and then reboots.
8. After Next3 arrives at the HOME page, I access SETTINGS-> WIRELESS & NETWORKS and enable an internet connection
9. Then I access APPS (middle icon at the bottom of the screen) and tap MARKET.
10. I am then asked for a google login. I provide a GMAIL e-mail address
11. I am prompted to accept a license agreement (don't recall which came first #10 or 11)
12. After a few moments, there is the huge list of apps!!!
13. Have done this 3 times now. I have never been able to actually download an app. It always fails.
14. On the first occasion, I checked to clear the cache as mentioned in item #5 of the instructions on this page: Market Fix if not working
15. I found every time that I followed this step, the only item cache that was not grayed out was Market.
16. QUESTION! Exactly what means "Reboot Device"? (Item #6 of the instructions). Does it mean powering down (shutting off) the Next3 and then turning it back on or is it referring to the RESET button on the back of the Next3?
17. I powered it off and then turned it back on; still no luck downloading. Each and every time, it failed.
18. I then redid steps 2 thru 10. This time, the same google e-mail login (I believe) would not allow me to connect to the Market network.
19. I then redid steps 2 thru 10 AGAIN. This time, using a different Google gmail account. I was successful connecting to the Market Network.
20. and again, see #13
21. and again, see #15 - 17
So there you have it. Truly wish to get this installed. I welcome any suggestions!
Thank you!
can you post the link other than megaupload since they are shutdown now
Any one has that rooting file for nextbook3 please?
I heard about the ing file that worked for many people but I could not find it because Megaupload is shutdown. can someone give a substitute link or post the file here please.
Thanks in advance
Current update.img file location
Hello All,
I am new to the forum. I recently acquired the Next3 and wanted to install the the market. Was excited someone had worked on the image.
Can someone forward the file to me? The download location provided is no longer valid.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I too am looking for the download link (that works - - poor Megaupload) to mod a friend's Next3.
If I can't get root and the market on this thing for him, I will have to try to figure out how to tell him he bought a crap tablet.
Thank you for any help you can provide!!
Finally some good news... O&C Online 1.03 does work on the Transformer, and you don't even need a root this time. It's just works! So go ahead, buy it from the market or from their site, or get the apk somewhere else - just know, that now this game officially works on the Transformer (well, not officially, but it works ).
******************************************
Bad news... I have a 1.02 backup, but it does not work my way anymore. Either gameloft followed us or something is wrong with my version. I'll tell if there is any change ASAP.
******************************************
Right now the 1.01 versoin is no longer working because there was a global update of the game, so right now this guide is useless. I will update this post as soon as there will be a working 1.02 version.
******************************************
If you want to play Order & Chaos from Gameloft on your Transformer (or any tegra tablet), I have a good news for you. But you MUST BE ROOTED.
Here is what you should do:
1. Delete game data, game itself and cache. Don't worry, all your characters will be there later (if you have any)
2. Download cache from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PKUX3Y1B and put it into /gameloft/games/
3. Next download backup of the game. Since it is not allowed to post any apk here, you will have to find BACKUP of the 1.01 device-free version of the game and restore it with Titanium backup (thats why you must be rooted). To do that unpack the rar file into "Titanium backup" folder and then find Order & Chaos in TB itself and restore APP+DATA.
*Why you can't simply install apk? - becouse it will say, that your device isn't supported.
4. Enjoy!
Follow those steps and everything should work! No random FC's or problems with multitouch!
I hope it helps see you in a game
P.S. Sorry for my english

Really?
To the poster above... is this really warez? You have to purchase the game in order to have gametime to play it and also purchase gametime. Is getting a game to work on our device really a bad thing? I guess maybe I don't understand the rule breaking on this one.

This isn't warez, it's a workaround. I've legally purchased Order & Chaos on another Android device, and I'd love to be able to play it on my Transformer. Since the game doesn't officially support the Transformer yet and I'm willing to take the risk to not only root but also install a third party app that may or may not actually work, I think the judgement for this thread referenced here should be saved for the individual user, not simply labeled as warez and closed. This is a developers forum, after all, where we tend to push the boundaries of our devices. And, since the APK wasn't linked, there's really no foul here; just one geek sharing his experiences with fellow geeks.
As long as we're not circumventing that initial purchase and just providing a workaround I think could be fine. I retract that post if thats the case.

I tried this but I still get "your device is not supported please request a refund". I tool the v1.0.1 backup off my thunderbolt and retored it through TB but I dont think the cache you provided is being used. Please Help
How do I unpack the apk into TB's format? I renamed the extension to .zip from .apk and the contents of the zip look nothing like TB's files (.gz and .properties files)
Edit: Looks like installing it on my XT720 and backing it up from there, then moving the files over to the TF worked!
I got it to work just fine, you have to use the version that is for all devices. Now that it is working how do i go about paying for it so that the account i sue doesn't get banned. In the market it says its not compatible with my device so it wont even let me purchase it and its not even sold on the Gameloft site.
Can someone post a backup? Also, would this method work with Nova??

Can You Tell Me which Files you moved and to were.
Well I thought I had mine working but the Version I had was 1.0.0 All Device version and it seems to start and asks to download a 159 mb patch but after character creation i walk around for a few and then get FC. So i must need the 1.0.1 All Device version which i can not seem to find.
I can get 1.0.0 installed but, It does FC every few min. 1.0.1 installs on the xoom just fine as I confirmed today on a friends tablet and the same goes for the Iconia. For some reason we get the device not compatible error on the Transformer.

This may not help many, but I have a ipod and bought the game that way.
Setup a subscription, i could then log in to game on my TF.
I know this doesn't help those without a IOS device but it is one way to get a subscription.
I have a subscription as well through my thunderbolt but v1.0.0 will crash every few min on the transformer. V1.0.1 is stable on honeycomb but will not install on the transformer.
Guys, as I have said, you need A BACKUP of the 1.01 device free version, not an apk, not an apk renamed to zip (did I tell you to do that? ) and not a backup or apk from your phone (unless it is device free version).
Also, if you did everything right, on first start it SHOULD NOT ASK TO DOWNLOAD ANY CACHE. Not even 156 mb, as somebody mentioned here.
And if you want me to help you to deal with it, write me a PM, it's realy hard to follow your questions
After acquiring a backup copy of 1.0.1. I placed it in the TitaniumBackup folder put the cache files in the gameloft/games/ folder and have been playing without FCs. Game screen is the correct size and there are no touchscreen issues.
Thanks a ton for finding this Rik064
If only I could figure out a way to purchase this game and install it so I can then back it up with titanium!
Wow this is perfect. The game not only doesn't force close but it fits perfectly on the screen. Awesome!
can someone PLEASE pm me where i can find a device free verison, I want to gt this to work but I am having trouble locating this version. THANKS!
I just got done playing Order & Chaos on my Transformer for two hours. It worked perfectly - no FCs, no weird issues with the top of the screen being cut off, and no issues with touch inputs being off. Here are some more detailed instructions on how to get it set up:
1) If you've previously installed Order & Chaos then you'll need to delete *all* traces of it, including the installed app and the cache in /gameloft/games (delete the folder called "GloftMMHM").
2) Download the game cache in from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PKUX3Y1B . Use an app like Androzip to extract the downloaded .rar file to /gameloft/games .
3) Time to download the Titanium Backup backup of Order & Chaos 1.0.1. It's Google time. This is the hardest part of the entire process. It helps if you can read Russian as, apparently, Russian forums are much more lax in what they can publicly post. If you can't find the backup file, PM me with your email address.
4) Once you have the Titanium Backup backup, use Androzip to extract the file's contents to /TitaniumBackup .
5) Install the game. To start, open Titanium Backup. Hit Menu, then Batch. Go down to where it says "Restore all apps with data" and hit the [Run] button. Unselect all apps except Order & Chaos. Hit the [Run the batch operation] button at the top of Titanium Backup. Install finished.
6) Check the main Apps menu to make sure Order & Chaos was installed successfully. It should open right up. Enjoy!
If you open Order & Chaos and see a message that says the game is not compatible with your device then you skipped a step. Uninstall the game, then delete the cache in /gameloft/games , then try this process again.
Hi guys,
I recently posted on the forum for help in installing the Android Market. I bought the Asus Tf 101 in china and have to chinese version of the market. Its called Hiapk. On it i found a Market app and Installed it. Now when I open it it shows me a pop up saying "An account has to be associated with the device. Would like to add one?". Then I click ok and it just exits out of the app. What do I do. I have my gmail account setup in the emails section.
Any suggestions.
Regards,
Abinav
Since we have no idea what they put on the chinese version of the TF, why don't you just download an American image and either flash it in or nvflash it in? It's got everything you need plus you don't have to hassle with the bloatware that came with the chinese version. Just sayin'...
Can you please help me as to how I can flash the US version.
in the dev section, there's a sticky called "nvflash unbricking". just follow those instructutions, and you'll end up with a rooted US TF rom. the instructions are a bit vauge on where to extract the zips. but remember to do so at the exact same folder as the download.bat file.
this is of course assuming you really do have a real re-branded TF, with TF hardware. the nvflash method relies on your tablet having the correct key, so if that key is different for your version of the hardware, it will not work, and i don't know if there are any side effects.

... we should do some homework before we recommend flashing a custom ROM !!!
Did you ever hear of the internet being censored in China?
The recommendation I myself would give is checking out, if it's possible to create a Google Mail account, which will be needed for the international market place.
Goto mail.google.com and choose to create a new account. If that fails, it's not a good idea to flash a custom ROM, which needs an uncensored internet respectively Google account !!!
If the account creation succeeds, you can login with your Google email adress and password to the international market place here:
https://market.android.com/
The market app can be downloaded and installed from here:

You can't get skype with video working, and if you do please PM on how to haha, second you have to go into settings and check "root helper" or like "root something" and right below that check "make writable" this is assuming you have a rooted phone, wont work without it. Sorry.

how do i root it? as far as i know i had done it following this youtube .com/watch?v=ob4TCJ_K_S0 but my phone is telling me it's not rooted
use root explorer to edit...... go to system and the tab at the top touch it.. the folder will become r/w... then long press the build prop and open in text editor.... it will automagically save the old prop as a backup...

I can't get root explorer because you need a credit card to buy it & I do not have one & you can't get it billed to the account like a lot of apps let you do. PS I got it free & the newest one I am going to try it out now what you said
Be very careful. Some roms, especially stock and also some CM roms, won't work if you change the name in the build.prop. This info is used for booting the phone. You could render the phone in a bootloop or just locked up at boot. Better to leave the build.prop alone if you are not an expert in Android development.
You can also change build prop using root tools. Google search for the apk or download aptoide from market and dl from there if the server hasn't already been killed.
I changed mine a couple months ago to htc visions for netflix purposes, long story short I went back to p999. I suggest you leave yours as is.
