Hi I've just received a new tablet , I know its not the best on the market but I have faith that it could be good.
I've followed a few threads on this forum with out having an account, and found the information to be very helpful with my late lg gt540 and my htc desire.
now as you can see at the bottom of this post I've got a DLR_MID. it has no name on the box apart from mid and nothing on the tablet itself, so finding a rom is somewhat fustrating. as the base rom has caused me a few issues i would prefer cmx or similar, with full root as well.
What information would a chef need from me to create a beautiful and tasty maserpiece. Also so advice from someone on one of the issues caused by the rom would be greatly appreciated and I'll go more into that now.
My tablwt has 2 internal storage bays showing up. 1 is listed as internal storage the other as internal sd. When I first got the tablet the sd was registering as 4Gb. I used the intwrnal a2sd function of the rom to move some apps. Without any warning the tablet reset,all the apps were gone but I'm left with only 1.71Gb. I plugged it into my pc to see what would show up there and still got the same 1.71Gb. I factory reset to whole device and still the same. I xould really do with some help with this please.
If you need more info please ask. I will do all it takes from my side to resolve both issues (with some advice with being a noob to tablets)
Kind regards to all
P.s. if I have posted in the wrong area I do apologise as I am new to the forum and haven't really figured the layout properly yet.

Is there someone that could help me please. I don't want to sound pushy, but some help no matter how small would do me the greatest of good. I'm almost at my wits end with both my issues here.
Thanks in advanced

First thing you will need is to know if the bootloader is unlocked and if kernel sources are available. Normally the answer to both is no when dealing with no name devices.

How would one go about find such info out? If you couldgive directions, I will be able to provide the information you require. That's if it would be you that would need the info.

Well first thing I would do is find the OEM and then look at the site and get as much info I could about the device.
Sadly purchased through ebay, I have made countless amounts of contacts with the seller to no avail. I can only assume they only understand money transfer, not language.
I have also made a number of attempts to google, all of which have turned up nothing. There seems to be a small house in the bambo forest making tablets out of panda poo and bambo leaves.

I am, as the video says, a complete noob when it comes to the droid os and all its capabilities. I just need to know some terminology. I've. Looked for a long time ( yes google) and I've only gotten mixed answers.
So:
1: what is s-on/s-off, and what devices does it apply to?
2: what information should I give, should I have a device question
3: anything else that you found useful when you started off?

So:
1: What is s-on/s-off, and what devices does it apply to?
*s-on/s-off is usually associated with htc devices but can be associated with other devices. As for what it is...s-off means security is off, and you can flash unsigned (custom) images to the phone
2: What information should i give, should i have a device question
*you will need to be able to provide your current rom that you are running, if any...sometimes your kernel/radio version...and what recovery you are using. (ie, if an htc, either amon ra or cwm)
3: Anything else that you found useful when you started off?
*this website!!! As obvious as this may be, there are tons of developers that are very willing to assist in any way. And trial and error!

i hope the info listed will help you on your journey!!
Thanks for the info. I hope nore people post what they dound useful, as well. I have, as my siggy says an r800x, or xperia play, nearly straight out of the box. It's from verizon, and I remember reading somewhere that verizon does something to make it more difficult to root it, so I hope I can figure it out. I'm talking about it with another forummer so I may get it figured out.

Take a look at the Xperia Play forums, you will probably have better luck over there
Could someone put together a list of the roms kernels and themes for this phone and keep it updated? I wish I knew more about this stuff and I'd do it myself but I'm kinda new and getting confused... hence the reason for the request... Any takers?
Thanks for everyones hard work... you all rock!!!

All you need to do is look in both respective forums under infuse. One for themes and the other for android developement.

Yeah seriously. Just read so you can learn along the way too.
Thank you both for the replies. I don't want to give the wrong impression... I read the fourms often. Just saying a list would be great... would help people know what fourm to start with, myself included. When you come into the game late its really tough to figure out where to start... for instance, the lastest and greatset stable build. No big deal though, I'll figure it out soon enough. Thanks again for the replys!

I agree that more reading can definitely be done so that you have a better understanding of everything, but I also agree that the whole process of finding roms and kernels and themes is a pain.
I'm working on a website at android.jakaar.net which will encompass lists of roms and kernels for a large majority of Android phones. It's currently limited to the Samsung Captivate and Samsung Infuse, but go to
android.jakaar.net
I know it doesn't cover much right now, but I am working on it.
I hope it helps, and please forgive the fact that it's not the greatest site at the moment, it takes a lot of time to put all the info together.
let me know if you have a specific device you'd like me to add to my site. To do that, you can email me at [email protected] or go to android.jakaar.net/contact.html
Installed android form this website: nookroot. co. cc
Followed the steps, made my back-up,...
Everything went succesfull until i had to choose wich proces to start. I looks i took the wrong one. I cant acces the android part of the nook, only the basis interface.
I have the android shortsigns at the right sight, but i cant do anything with them, if i wanna go to the androidmenu, it redirects me to the basic interface.
The only thing i see, is that my nts ask for 'open advanced task killer', i can open that interface. But it's all...
How can i change the startingproces (i don't know the wright concept)? So i can fully use my nook.
I already checked the forum and the internet but no direct solution. It was also not clear which root you should take. Easy said on youtube, but...
thanks in advance

That is correct, but i'm not able to do that. (not enough post).
This is my first post I think... So I'm a total noob in that I haven't tweaked any phones before of any type. I've spent probably 20 or so hours in the last few months looking around these forums but due to information overload I'm just gonna bite the bullet and ask about my problem.
Sensation z710e - hboot 1.27 all stock plus OTA updates. No warrenty.
I'm in New Zealand. My phone thinks it's in Taiwan (CID). My GPS sucks and I have read somewhere it's probably looking for Taiwan local satelites and not the ones currently over my head.
There is a system file (read about it elsewhere a while back which I'll have to fnd again) relating to GPS and an area code so it can find the right satelites accurately. Mine quite likely is a few thousand miles off :silly:
I need to edit it. I don't know if I need to change the CID or no. I don't want to flash any roms. Just the bare minimum.
Can someone with experience give me a short list of what to do for this? I got lost as to if I need to s-off and/or root. I like it the way it is I just need it to recognise it's emigrated so I'll likely lock it up again once I've done this. If possible.
Frankly, the more I read in here the more confused I get as most is unrelated to my basic needs. I just want a list of what to do to edit a system file and what order and I can search and find the howtos myself.
ps. If anyone has tips on getting the camera to recognise red as not pink then I'm interested in that too.
There is a free app on the play store called FasterFix that will change those system values for you. It works like a charm IF and ONLY IF that really is your problem.

...which requires root. So that does not answer my real question about what I need to unlock in order to properly do this. And in what order.

You cant edit system files without root. The option is not available.

Ok. So what about the rest of my question? S-Off yes no? Anything else I'm missing?
Is it really this hard to get a simple list?

If you are going to come here, complain that its too complicated and demand that everything be spoon fed to you then ***** when you don't like how its spoon fed to you....the yes. It is that hard to get what you want.
Good luck fixing your problem. You will be doing it completely on your own due to your ungreatful lousy attitude.

Is that your useful suggestion as a "senior member" here? I'm glad I don't offer such technical help in my field of expertise.
I don't care for step-by-step detailed spoon feeding. I asked for a short todo list so I could go work out how to do stuff myself. One sentence could have answered it something like "You need to root your phone, then s-off, then edit file xyz.cfg and change the CID". Then I'd know what to go search for. I suspect its something similar to that but I am unsure and unwilling to screw up my phone by doing unnecessary things.
I'd already tried FasterFix before you suggested it and discovered that, as my original statement suggests, my phone can't use it until I alter it. Which is why I asked what I actually need to do. You might as well have told me to flash a ROM knowing full well my phone isn't rooted.
I would actually be grateful if someone answered the original question. I know this community can do better than this or I wouldn't have come here for help.
Perhaps you'd like to root your phone 1st so that you'll be able to unlock more capabilities of tweaking it? You may wanna head down to this thread and check it out -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553
This will help. It's everything you need to do. Please follow this guide. Best wishes hope this helps.

What a delightful new addition to the forum you are.

Rooted and s-off. I still don't know if I needed to s-off as that question was not answered, so I did it anyway. Possibly overkill.
Tweaked the gps.conf manually (fasterfix gave me only a black screen so it's useless) and after reboot got a fix of 7 satelites within seconds. As opposed to before where I got about 4 usually and a fix taking several minutes, if at all, and not being very accurate.

S-off will really help you.. If you want to restore back to stock in case you are running custom roms.. And it makes these things easy
Now regarding the gps fix you did..
Care to explain what guide you used for manually tweaking the gps? Is this the one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17081413?
Or did you flashed the agps patch? (in sensation dev section I think)

I did see that guide and used the link in it to find my server but since half the contents in that guide weren't in my gps.conf I started by just replacing the american server line with nz.pool.ntp.org. As I had already assumed, it wasn't using a local server.
The option was there to add the other stuff if that didn't work but that simple little step sped things up a lot. And since I didn't know what half the other options did I chose to not put them in.
If there's anything specific I can add to further increase GPS accuracy/speed then I'm open to suggestions.
I don't plan on running any custom roms which is why I wanted to know what steps were actually needed since everyone gives instructions assuming it's all about the roms.
So, I have just received my replacement SGS3. Now I need to unlock the boot loader and root as usual. Problem, PC just died. Have no access to another one that I would be aloud to load ADB and any other programs that will be needed to accomplish this on. Is there any one in here that has a good and strong reputation with the community that lives preferably between Providence, Worcester an d Boston that could help me out? Preferably if you have a laptop and wouldn't mind meeting up let's say at a DD? I buy the coffee and meal. Or if you truly do not care, I am willing to go to you. But prefer not to go that route. Any way, help would be greatly and utterly appreciated. Also, I looked around to see if this was OK to post in this part of the forums. I didn't see anything that stated that I could not. And it does seem to be the logical choice as far as I can see. Though if I am wrong, please lead me to the proper location for future reference. Not that I want to have to do this again. Any way, hope to hear from some one.

I am probably being a little impatient here. But, no one?
The only reason I asked is because I have to get the old phone back to VZW with in a short period of time. Any way, waiting impatiently.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Ok. So this post must have been dead in the water before it began. Not sure why. But oh well. Any way. Can some one delete this after today. But not before midnight. Reason being is because I am driving to East Providence, Yarmouth and then Cambridge for work today. So if some one out there in one of those areas sees this and is willing to help, then that would be great. I am sending my old phone back to Verizon tomorrow. So this will not be needed as of midnight.
