I just realized that "functionality" is caused by another development mode: "Stay Awake"
With it checked off it functions like that, without it set the only button that turns it on is the power.

yeah it doesnt even pull your google contacts which is odd, but i guess not if there is not contacts.apk
there is a ContactsProvider.apk in the /system/app folder but it doesnt do anything when you install it.

i would think a contacts.apk from another device wouldnt work... ???
also if there are no communication devices in the device it may not allow any contact.

i believe its more of the core OS, the contacts maybe have been removed all together? especially since it wont pull your google contacts.

Yup, but this did not work before, only after I did the update then the full wipe

I can't seem to get my GT to show up in Device Manager. At least not in the way the wiki shows that it should.

I have installed all of the Augen patches. I have installed the SDK and the USB driver thingee. I have updated the android_winusb.inf file.

When I connect my GT to a PC, two things happen.

1. Under 'Disk Drives' I get three new entries. that all say 'Telechip's Android USB Device'

2. Under 'Portable Devices' I get 3 new entries ' L:\, M:\ and N:\'

None of these entries will allow their driver to be updates with anything in the USB folder.

According to the instructions, there should be an entry under 'Other Devices' that says 'Android Eclaire'

I am currently working on a Win 7 64 bit machine, but I have also tried this under Vista 32 bit with the exact same results.

Am I missing a step? Does anything need to be done to the GT to get it in a particular mode or something? I have tried this with USB connection mounted and not mounted. Same results.

I'm at my wits end. I thank you guys for your hard work. If anyone can advise me on this, I'd really appreciate it.

See the fix I posted on slatedroid. Making this in to a slatedroid wiki entry is on my to-do list.

http://www.slatedroid.com/android-de...win-7-fix.html

Sorry if this rude linking to another board, but it's a longish post.

aaaaand the market is broke again.

i rebooted and then got a network communications error when i clicked the Menu then Downloads.

web was working though. so i rebooted and now the market is broke again.

going to try a cache wipe again.

edit - nope, cache wipe only didnt fix it. - so could it be possible that the market doesnt see that i am on a bogus android and i can download things at first but then their servers catch up and wont let me install anything?

and the unit's battery is sh|t, wow. it shut off at like 14%, and it went down to 14% in a matter of minutes from where it was, maybe 35-40%

That replacement screen idea is starting to sound like a nice idea...
Something (heavy) fell over on my desk and knocked it to the floor.

The screen displays fine but the digitizer (The glass layer b/w the plastic cover and the LCD screen?) does not work anymore. (no more touch input)

I think it goes without saying that I won't be able to do much with the device unless I can figure a way to setup the VNC server on it without requiring input on the device.

I was able to get the contacts app installed by first ripping the contacts.apk from the emulator.
Boot up a 2.1 emulator and type:
adb -e pull /system/app/Contacts.apk

to transfer it, make sure your gentouch is plugged in and type:
adb -d remount
adb -d push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this is possible, necessary, or just stupid but I am wondering if you could replace the screen with a capacitive screen or maybe just a better quality screen.

Also, sorry to repost but I think that there are so many posts at this point that nobody goes to any of the other pages. Can someone give me more info on rooting when I get to the terminal menu? I just get permission denied when I type in the first command line.

to install google apps on any device they must be signed with the same keys as the os, luckily our os is signed with test keys (the same as emulator) so we can use the emulator apps.

Hi linckraker,

Sorry for my question but how do you restore the image. I did the clockwork like shown on the custom + recovery page I didn't notice anything when I ran it. I already have the superuser but not the market working I only was able to make it work one time and I downloaded 3 apps but I haven't been able to make it work since then. To install your image do I just copy the img file to the tools folder and then run the following commands

adb push boot.img /sdcard/boot.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/boot.img

or do I follow the steps like rooting

adb push ./system/app/Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb push ./system/xbin/su /system/xbin
adb shell rm /system/bin/su
adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell reboot


Thanks

"here is an update zip to install superuser. this also has a workaround for the /cache problem. along with the nexus one boot animation.

THIS MUST BE INSTALLED VIA CLOCKWORK RECOVERY"

if you have any problems let me know.

did i do something wrong when i created my AndroidId then added it the file on the phone.
i got market working but i am noticing an unusual amount of japanese apps.
not a huge amount but a few at the top of the popular list that i wouldnt fine if i was on my EVO.

i also am not able to find Dolphin HD browser, but if i go to AppBrain, it will find it but it wont let me install it.

this must be a location issue?? or device id issue?
it shows regular dolphin browser also but i cant install it.

it does find and allow me to download Dolphin HD themes and add-ons

edit - even using the emulator it wont find Dolphin Browser HD
