I have tried bt5 and debian and no luck i tried with titan kernel instead of stock and no luck, i contacted developer and he said to try other roms. What error do you get? Mine says something about trying to mount then says no directory but now in the latest update it gets stuck on first line of code

Camera Question

Hi everyone, I was just wondering about how devices that won't get an update to ICS get a custom ICS ROM and almost all ways the Camera doesn't work cause the manufacturer hasn't releases a driver or something. Well can somebody explain that to me in more detail so I know exactly why my camera doesn't work. Cheers

Its probablynot the driver but the Custom rom that u install to phone.Not all custom roms have fixed the camera and media storage.The one i am using right now is custom rom JB and some times my camera do not work.

So is there a way to bring back the camera?

Not without the kernel source code and proper drivers. This is the biggest issue.

So Samsung haven't realesed the source code for the wifi 5.0? Sorry for asking so many questions I'm just interested.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app

Yes without an official update there is no source code for the kernel and no proper drivers for the camera

That's a shame. Stupid Samsung always leaving devices behind. I like their hardware only.

This is the way of android. With Tue advances in hardware as well as software. Any OEM will be hard pressed to keep a phone officially updated for more then 6 months

This is why I like Google's phones and Google them selves. They seem friendly if you know what I mean. Always willing to help. Imagine if Samsung had invented Android! It wouldn't be open source for a start. And devices would be out of date with software before people could actually buy them! Samsung need to get their act together.

My suggestion is that you read up on this. You hardly even know what you're asking for.
Before you root any device you should at least know something about it. Just root it won't make it any better without modding, tweaking etc.
You can end up with a brick.

Rooting won't make it faster. Rooting is like unlocking a door to a control room - it doesn't change anything unless you know how to use the controls.
Look in here or Google for how to root your device if you're sure it's the right choice. You can brick it an thereby make it infinitely slower if you're not careful. You will need to do more than just installing some apps that require you to have already rooted for them to work.
Unless you can install CWM (and look into TWRP before doing that) from a usb connects without root, you're not going to be helped by that at all. It won't make your tablet faster, anyway. Look up what it is before trying to install it or anything else.

Ok guys thanks for waking me up out of this bad dream! lol
Well you know i take ur advice, read something about it and then decide.
Is there even a good solution to make it a bit faster?
Cause when i play real racing 3 some tracks lags a bit , while with others
it wont.
greets

R: NEED HELP WITH ROOT please read thanks!
Root is a good idea to make your tablet faster. If you want to overclock cpu or gpu or manage services or pretty much do anything to your phone (which can go from normal system cache cleaning to flashing a different, lighter and faster, version of android to your tablet).
So, yes, if you want to make your tablet really faster (a noticeable change) it would be smart to root it...but you gotta search the web understand what you are gonna do how you are gonna do it also if it works most of the times or its a complete fails. Search the web! U will find out all the risks and advantages to modding your android.
If your want to root it look for it on google, youtube, or here (it's surely already been posted somewhere).
Just use these keywords for your search
'Your tablet name/model' 'android version' root.
Before overclokking or whatsoever, know that exceeding your limits (especially if your device is not high end) can lead you to break your tablet completely. too much modding can lead to fast battery drainage, overheating and possibly meltdown of hardware components
So be careful what you do!

Just follow a guide from the Galaxy Nexus forum - I'm pretty sure the device was quite popular and has its own entire forum.

Lol for me there is no subject of my tab..
Sent from my QW TB-1217 using xda app-developers app

Do you know how to enter recovery mode on your tab?
If you do you can try to download a generic-root-signed.zip
No name tablets usually don't have a private key for files so it might work to root it that way. Otherwise you can try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry.
There are many ways to try...

Hello Tyson
Well iam gonna try it thanks for your advice.
Let you know.

[Q] change device name?

Hi I was wondering if anyone new how to change the device, I noticed that when I look at the connected devices in my router my tablet is called androidblahblahinsertrandomnumbershere can I change this to something else?

Easiest way I have found on Samsung devices in general is by using trickster mod.

Great will look into it, so there's no simple way through settings? I noticed that all other device on my network show as unknown just not the note 10.1.
