Ello guys and girls, just a quick question about the thumb keyboard! I have just installed it on my a500 and I go to use it and it forces close! Why? Is it because I'm a noob and i have set it up wrong or would it be something to do with the install? Thanks

Don't know. I've used it since day 1 on the Acer. Installation should be pretty straightforward (it just installs from the market, assuming you are installing from the market).
Then you enable it in settings and go through the setup choices.
Or did you install from an apk?

Most likely there are other files you either; 1. didn't copy to the right folder, 2. didn't set the permissions properly or both.
I suggest downloading it from the market and paying for it. It is worth the money IMO.
Delete the one you have contour market install from there. I to have been using it from day one.and I pre ordered my tab.typing on it now never one issue.
Thanks to everyone that got back to me, i will get it from the market and see how i get on!

Ok, so I've downloaded the from MediaFire, done a back up of everything I want saved and took an extra aspirin and Nitro pill just in case I go into cardiac arrest (well advised for me, since I just bricked my 2-month old DX a few days ago using a "one-touch" method for gingerbread).
Now, do I need any specific files or apps in my Xoom before I root it, like Titanium Back up?
Also, please bear with me with this because I am new, but I actually don't know what to do next. I mean, I know I should connect my Xoom (wifi/3g/4g model) using a usb cable. I also have the drivers installed on my computer, but I just don't know where to go to next.
ive always been an adb person so I rooted with that but for something fast and simple id recommend this seems to be workingbfor ablot of people

Thanks. I have read that one, but it doesn't tell me exactly what do I do once I download & extract the files (which I have). You'll have to excuse me, but I am just being cautious because of my DX.

It does tell you what to do:
Instructions:
1. Unzip the tool and all of the folders and files into a directory. Preferably a folder on a root drive. (i.e. c:\xoom )
2. Run the Xoom One Click EXE tool and follow the instructions. Read the prompts carefully.
Ok, but I do know exactly what a "root" file is. When I look at my system (Windows 7, 64 bit), I do not see a file/folder named "Xoom".
Also, is that saying that I do it on my computer, or to the Xoom (putting the rooting files) into it?
Again, please bear with me. Also, I do appreciate your help.

No problem and just to let you know, I have not rooted my Xoom but have rooted my phone.
You need to extract the ZIP file you downloaded somewhere on your hard drive on your computer. The instructions recommend a root drive like c: but I don't think that matters. Just extract it somewhere and know where it is. You run the RootMyXoom.03.exe file where you extracted the file and follow the prompts.
There is nothing needed on the Xoom other than placing it in Debug mode which the tool will tell you how to do that when launched.
You got nothing to worry about
I used the one click method yesterday to root my WiFi Xoom it was easy. even though its really not one click its more like 5 to 10 but if u just read what it tells you to do as its going threw i think my 5 year old niece could follow the directions
Ok, one last thing before I break out the defibrillator and do it.
I have the 3g/4g/wifi model. Should I be on wifi, or 3g mode when I do it?

I can't tell you because I have never used it but what is the reason you rooted in the first place? I know the DR Screenshot app only works if you are rooted. Can you install and take a screenshot without error?

Before my DX went south of the border, I had it rooted. Screenshots are not on my todo list, but overclocking is. I also want the ability to power on/off using an icon in the extended controls.
But basically, I want to get the most out of this $600 toy in speed.

Well the message sounds good so I would say you are ok. I only used the screenshot example as a test. Try something that requires root and see if it works.
Whenever I try to open a ROM in SuperGNES, it shows the controller and a blank screen for a second, then immediately goes back to the ROM selection. I've tested it out on several ROMs, so it's probably not a bad ROM. Any ideas?
EDIT: I just realized I put this in the wrong forum - I meant to put it in Themes and Apps. Can a mod move it for me?
Wouldn't work for me, either. Go with SNesoid.

The apk name is listed along with the packagename in the list. If you are unsure what things are safe to block/disable. There are plenty of people on the forum that would be willing to help you.
I did not see the package name so I will have run it again and read more carefully or try to change the size of that field.

Here's one thing to think about also, by accident I blocked the Google stock email , not the Gmail. I went back to unblock and I had to re-enter all my emails back again. So what I'm saying after a block and then an un-block it wipes the app. Did you expect that to happen or should I expect that to happen for most apps be turned back on?
Thanks

Does not need root access, you can remove .apks with it if you have root access, but it lets you disable without.
Download the Debloater tool, turn Debugging on, plug your phone in, start the program.
I just disabled LG Health on my Verizon phone with it. I would like to disable VoiceMate but I'm not sure what the .apk is. My apologizes if this is already known to work on the G4; I haven't seen it mentioned in the G4 forums, but I can confirm it does work.
Maybe someone can use this tool and compile a list of apps that are safe to disable using it.

No problem but be sure to add DTIgnite to the list, I missed that one. You will probably be better off uninstalling the DTIgnite update and disabling it from the app manager. That's the worst bloatware/spyware I've seen them preinstall. It's terrible.

I had probably about 60% of the apks you listed disabled already. But that other 40% (while getting rid of CHROME) and switching to Firefox....made a world of difference.
Holy smokes, this phone is flying now. There is absolutely zero lag and it seems way more touch responsive.
Thank you.
So, this only Hiden the apps or disable them like titanium backup?

I had to install the Verizon software assistant when you first plug the phone in to the PC. After that the debloat tool recognized it. Also make sure you have USB debugging enabled on the phone.
Dang I was all excited until I realized I needed a Windows box. Guess I'll have to wait to get home and dig out my old laptop to do this.
I have to figure out how to install the drivers on a mac. I know it is possible. this debloater works on a mac as there is a .dmg file for it. I can not use the verizon software assistant because it only works on a pc. Thank you for your help though.
I feel stupid asking this but I can't get my adb drivers to work with my g4.
