I love boushhs kernel but could never get the screen rotation to work. I tried placing the file from the thread where they said but couldnt figure out how to change permissions of the file.

You have no need to double/bump post. You have an edit button.

I had the same issues. I changed permissions, and tried both of the .so files in that thread. One of them boot-looped the tab and the other gave me problems with market (kept telling me that google talk wasn't enabled and wouldn't let me download in market). Neither of them worked for me on the rotation. If anyone figures this out, it would be great to know how!

Samsungapp.apk

Does anyone have the new samsungapp.apk? I've search here and Google and I found some. After I installed it. It says updating done but all I get is black screen that's it. I don't know what's up with that. Using the ec01 rom. Thx

I just downloaded that and it seems to work well. One of the default settings disables it in landscape mode, which might be the problem you guys are having. Either deselect that option or try it in portrait mode to see if that works.
I'd still like to find something closer to what is described in the OP. It would be kind of useful to have it just turn on and off when I open and close my case.
Aite I got it to work upon closing sweet now if i can just find one that "aweken" my Xoom upon opening case....

I think you might be talking about Killswitch. It was developed by an xda dev. I tried to use it with my 7 inch tab, but had fcs. However he was very helpful. I haven't tried it with the Xoom, but I think I'll look it up.

I was able to install it yesterday from the link I posted. The apk is there under the market link and video. I decided against using it, but you can give it a try.

Build. Prop fix for cyanogenmod?

Just discovered the market won't let me download my gameloft games. Googled it and it seems I need to change my build. Prop. I really suck with terminal commands, anyone got a cwm flashable idiot proof fix?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Looking for a fix as well. Surprised a definitive answer hasn't been posted yet unless I missed it. One Guy posted his build.prop but I don't know exactly what to change
Well I imagine someone eventually well help us out. I'm going to keep googling in the meantime. I found someone who had the issue on the vibrant and someone had a new build.prop to give him and it worked, but he didn't say how to install the build.prop. Just said "Swap this one out with your old one"...and? How exactly do I go about doing that?
It can be done with root explorer

No terminal commands needed.
Get a root file explorer
Navigate to /system
There you will find the build.prop
Open that with any text editor, or copy it to your sdcard and use NotePad on your pc. It's just a plain text file.
Once all edited. Save and reboot.
Make sure your system is mounted r/w or it won't let you change anything in that partition.
Cool, so I have another stupid question : what do you change the build.prop too?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Kind of depends on what ROM you are running and what in the build prop is incorrect. Sometimes when running i9000 roms your build will be written to reflect your phone as no longer being an I897. It happened to me many moons ago. Luckily the rom thread had an updated build prop posted. Search for the Market Fix apk in the market. That allows you to change your signature that the market views your phone by. You may also try Market Enabler there's a few different versions to choose from, just a temporary ID changer.

Ok but what do I change EXACTLY to have it recognized by the market as a Samsung Captivate? And why don't these cyanogenmod developers fix this? It's a common issue why ignore it? Arghhhhhhh I'm getting irritated. A guy on the cyanogenmod forums said to use root explorer and change manufacturer to samsung and model to nexus s. I did that and only freaking difference is my XDA app says I'm using a nexus s. The market is still the freaking same and i even freaking cleared the cache and rebooted. Yeah I'm irritated. Just bought Modern Combat 2 and can't play it because of this stupid problem!

Finally figured it out, the stuff I was told to change has nothing to do with market access, changed 4 other entries to "GT-I9000" and that fixed the problem. Wasn't mad at anyone just frustrated

To get everything to recognize it as a Captivate you need to chang eANYTHING that says Gt-i9000 to SGH-i897 and anything that says galaxysmtd or something like that to captivatemtd or whatever stock shows it as( I cannot remember what stock shows at this moment). But if you make these changes then xda app and the market and anything else will recognize it as a Captivate

Manual CPU change on 2.0

Is there a way to change the CPU min-max without an app?
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
I believe if I've read right it's somewhere in the build.prop file. If I'm wrong somebody can correct me.
There were some posts about changing it manually in the thread for Gingervolt I believe. Maybe it was the thread for blitzkrieg. Check those 2 threads starting at the end. I know it was recently.

Oh ok you found it?
At first I was using the init.d files (/system/etc/init.d/) to change the max min, but I was getting 5+ vibrate reboots a day. I started using rom toolbox pro a few days ago with the exact same settings, and I haven't gotten any reboots since. If you start getting reboots, try using an app.
Also, if you do use the init.d files to change the max/min, I recommend using root explorer and make sure you set permissions to r/w, otherwise when you edit the files and hit save, it won't actually save. Took me a few tries to figure out that nothing was actually changing. =)

[APP] GSIII S-Voice

*This is not my idea, I'm just sharing it. Head on over to the original thread where I saw this for some more information/support!
Some of you guys may have already seen this one but here it is for those who haven't.
Basically this is the .apk for Samsung's S-Voice taken form the leaked rom of the up-and-coming Galaxy SIII. S-Voice is supposed to be samsung's answer to Siri - but some people have reported that in reality it is just a skinned Vlingo with a couple of extra features!.
To install it:
move it to /system/app (Either by using Root explorer/ES file explorer or adb push voicetalk /system/app)
Change permissions to rw r-- r-- using Root explorer/ES file explorer
Go to build.prop and chnage ro.product.model & ro.product.device to GT-19300
Reboot
Go to /system/app and click on the voicetalk.apk and install like a normal sideload app
Note:
This is for ICS only and I have only tested it on Lord Clockans Ice Cold Sandwich 7.5 Test 9.
You need a data connection for it to work

S-Voice download link here

Good for you!Thanks for sharing.
only ICS?
im trying now on GB. i hope it will work...
EDIT:
i get error "There is a problem parsing the package." when opening the APK. happen also with other downloads.
because of GB or another problem?

I had that problem when I first tried it you can try the other download link in the original thread or download it from your computer then put it on your phone. It's just a problem with the download websites not playing well with phones

Seemingly it'll only work on ICS. Hence the parse error.
EDIT: Trying it on SenseMOD FlashONE v1.3.1. Although it has installed and went through the tutorial, it now just FC's as soon as i try to open it. I'll see if it's any better after a reboot.
EDIT2: No luck. Still FC's immediately after starting.
It's a problem with the lcd density I think because it doesn't work at 240 it works better at 190 but still had force closes it works flawlessly at 160 though and I would love to keep it there if it weren't for the phone APK bug on ice cold
So piece of advice lower your lcd density but this may be problematic on sense roms of course

Here's me running it at 160dpi. The application still has a lot of room of improvement its not anywhere near as good as siri - I haven't tried siri myself! - and it really struggled to pick up my thick Scottish accent. I this could be a problem of the DHD because my brothers evo 3d and my galaxy tab do a much better job at understanding me
First a tried asking it the weather for London and after only 2 tries it got it right!
Then I tried setting an alarm up for 6am it could only get pm instead and after many tries I thought I'd just stick with pm and see what happens, you as you can see it understands what I meant but obviously I wasn't surprised when it couldn't figure out how to actually put an alarm on
Anyway I won't run the whole surprise for you and I'll let you check it out yourself!
Ps when I figure out how to add screen shots I'll update this post

--EDIT--
Another quick look through the instructions shows that you need to chnage your build.prop to appear as thou you have a GSIII. Although this is easy enough some newer users may find it quite confusing. I thought its probably best just to link to the original thread because there will be a better support over there.

Have you tried the suggestion above yours/the updated op. Anyway your better off checking out a newer thread in the Themes and Apps section because the OP of that thread has put everything into one handy update.zip
