Old news is old.
I'm pretty sure that's a old news... I just asked to know if this folder is only for developer and to know the utilisation of this folder...

It's the kernel source code, so ask yourself this question.
Would a non-developer have any clue as to what to do with it?

Just got an OTA update

I just got a new OTA update. It is still showing 3.1, but the build is now 8.4.4.11-20110711.
If you can't get the update to flash successfully try this method below.

I'm running the rooted stock 3.1, prefer not to have to restore to get this to work. Hoping to get a version that doesn't brick me.
The link above has the file.

I renamed dlpkgfile.zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and moved it to root on microSD card. Power off eeepad then hold volume down & power button. Then press volume up when you see the text on the top left of the screen. It'll install the update. I'm now on 8.4.4.11. Cheers.

In my case, Mexico. i get new apps, like TegraZone Games, Videos(name of the app).
I cannot install the update. When it reboots to install, I get the Android thingy with a big yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it. I suppose the reason I cannot install is because I am running Netformer 1.5.
run aLogCat and get the OTA link please.
When/if you see the notification that you have an update available -- stop everything and run the aLogcat app.
Send the log file to yourself via email (that's built into the app)
Look through the log file on your computer, searching for a URL
Try any URL's that you find on your computer's browser
When you find one that downloads a zip file, save the zip file to your computer
Shout from the rooftops, and share that URL
Then upload and mirror it somewhere

or if you want you can just email me the log file and ill obtain the OTA link. pm me if you want my email to email it to.
the video app is google movies

If people stop accepting the OTA / ignoring me and did what I said in the previous post about aLogCat I could go into the zip and dig some things out of it for rooted/custom ROM'd users.
Just do it before you actually take the OTA. It will be most appreciated.
How do you run logcat from the terminal or adb?
I'm running a rooted stock ROM and the OTA is downloading now...

or you can hit menu -> save and upload the .txt in /sdcard/alogcat/ via attachment on XDA or where ever you want.
Can someone post a screenshot of the software screen please?
Wait, an OTA update already? Dang, ASUS is fast.
I don't know, if the posters here are to be believed, Asus has already abandoned the TF.

Um. No they haven't? ASUS' twitter have said 3.2 has gone through testing and it should be out soon.
Obvious troll is obvious.

Netflix on Thrive

Now that we have Root, can someone get Netflix to work on the Thrive?
I know that the Transformer has a hack (Some System file replacement) that let the netflix work on it.
Can we get something like that on the Thrive?
You can actually use that hack... If you are talking about the .zip you flash in recovery... I did it last night and have had no issues.
netflix works on all tabs now I think, there's a apk floating around.

With or without root?
I say you need to share this apk with us so we can find out.
Netflix does work on this tab with root and the hack. Prior to root though it was not working with just installing the .apk as confirmed here: thriveforums.org/forum/toshiba-thrive-apps/1145-app-working-netflix-honeycomb.html. Sorry I don't have enough posts yet to allow me to use working links, so you can just cut and paste.

Nope, it doesn't work on a stock Thrive, or some other tablets on 3.1 or 3.0. If you're rooted, you can get around it.

exe and zip files to use netflix
Sorry, I'm a newbie & I don't get a lot of the terminology here... I downloaded an exe file and a zip file that were supposed to help me get Netflix to work. But, I can't seem to open the files. It tells me there's no known associated file type. What do I do to get net flix to work (in layman's terms)?

I don't know what files you downloaded, but to get the netflix app to work, you should have downloaded a .zip file from the asus transformer section, which you flash from the clockwork custom recovery.

Acer ring for iconia a500?

There is a function of the ring acer (W500) for the a500 note: this function and multtouch with five fingers on the Acer Iconia W500
W500 or A200 cuz the a200 has Acer ring but I don't see how we would get a windows feature on a android tablet?

Yes. Both the W500 and A200 have the Acer Ring software. I suppose OP made a mistake, but I'm also interested in this feature...

I Have the system dump for the A200. The Acer Ring is in there and it comes with a ODEX file as well. I tried to install and push it with Root explore but it was a no go. I didnt inlude the ODEX file tho.... Should I?

Depends on if your ROM is odex dependent or not. Even if it's a deodexed ROM, pushing both won't hurt any. (unless it does, in which case i've never come across after doing it for so long)

civato,
Do you or anyone else want the A200 system dump?
I don't think its as simple as pushing the file. I'm pretty sure that the ring would need some modifications to the framework

those system apps use lots of hidden API which is not available in android SDK (security reason i guess)..
maybe this blog can help u out http://devmaze.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/using-com-android-internal-part-1-introduction/
Maybe you will need to add some external libraries like the supportv4 library.

Hmmm thanks for the link. I looked at it real quickly this morning and it may be what I need. once I get home I'll post the errors I'm getting.
But they mostly pertain to that link where some imported things cannot be found.
