Which version? I wish someone would have posted this sooner - would've saved a billion keypresses!
I've since switched to the touch recovery, but this is still good to know.

What's up guys! Esteway, you will learn a whole new way to root install recovery etc. Once you get cwm on board just go about flashing as normal. Shabbypenguin made a one click root to make it easier but its almost too easy
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I just made the same switch and am happy with the phone. Rooting is a bit trickier at first but fastboot is quite cool and easy to use. Read the rooting instructions carefully.... I scared myself a few times. You won't need odin or heimdall anymore.

XDA App

I posted this in the Theme and App section as well so if one has to be deleted, feel free, but I figured it would get more people to see it here. Anyway, I have not been able to get the XDA app to work on my A500 at all. As soon as I go to settings or try and click on a thread I get force closes. It happens every time.
I have tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it and that doesn't work either. I also just got an update to 3.2.1 and that didn't help either.
Any ideas?
i take it you haven't rooted? try clearing the app cache, maybe that's giving the problem. Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > XDA App > Clear data
that said, the app isn't really optimized for tablets and while it does load faster than the forums via browser, it seems pretty.. i don't know.. naked. i usually prefer reading them via browser.
I had the same experience, I use Tapatalk - not free - but a great forum reader.
Use the premium version. It's a good excuse to buy it and support the site that has done so much for us.

[Q] how do you change the color/images of soft keys?

Hey I have the cm10 nightly rom and i was wondering if there was any way to change the color or images of the soft keys to something different.
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You can do it by replacing the images in the systemui.apk or might be able to do it through a theme as well.

This a link for a simple how to! If you want to pull systemui will need a apk tool. You can do search on that. I hope this helps.

One of my favorite guys for all things Android. Should work the same on your nexus 7 as his Galaxy Nexus. Maybe not the Exact same thing but similar concept and a good start.
P.S. you could also just flash aokp and it should be in settings.

Yea I'm pretty excited about it but unfortunately there's not much development going on for our device right now. (Well at least not much that I could find anyway) The last bit that was released was in June/July and I couldn't get it to boot on my phone sadly but with the upcoming public release of Ubuntu Touch on the the 17th, hopefully we'll see an increase in development. I would love to have this as a daily driver if data would work on it.

Has anyone tried this lately? I would love to see a functioning build... I would try it but last time I ran into trouble and had to use Matts utility... As I don't have access to a PC I'm a tad hesitant to give it another flash

So it seems that the boot animations don't work. I've had this happen once when the bootanimation.zip was too big. I'll take the useless black space away and I'll be uploading these back again tonight with yellow!
