Is it so hard to understand that some ppl like Sense and want a Sense port despite the fact that they chose to buy a Nexus S? :confused:
[Nexus S General] apreichner:
To be honest, I don't intend to use a sense rom on my phone as the daily driver. I'm more of a stock android person, but for those of you who like sense, ill sure try to get it ported for you.

PS if this works out I'm keeping my eye on that new htc sensation phone, a port of that might be fun.

Please use the search function. There are several dozen threads on XDA about how to edit apk's.
[Atrix 4G General] mapleshadow:
nope,the blur-res.apk is very special,just as special as file blurphone.apk.for example,using apktool. blurphone.apk need to reverse 2.apk and 3.apk ,which come from library file of framework,only by doing this,compilation and descompilation can work properly.so far,blue-res.apk make me no progress.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
First: I have read a lot of threads but haven't found a proper answer.

It seems that after the last Zune update, we can no longer unlock the phones using Chevron. If this is the case, what is the recommended course of action to get Chevron to unlock?

Can we PLEASE get the right steps, as it's obvious that there are a lot of us that have properly followed the instructions in the two Chevron unlock threads but still failed:

- ChevronWP7 Unlocker & Cert download - *here* + video tutorial

- WP7 Hacking for Beginners - Chevron, Theming, Ringtones, Registry, MMS/Data

I have an Omnia 7 that I've tried to unlock using Chevron on 3 different machines (a lap included). On all I couldn't unlock with Chevron. Tcpview shows no https opened and for all it matters all attempts were done after a fresh reset so no other apps running. No luck. I get the "Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone" error, as here:

Can anyone guide us? Again, PLEASE, I have read all and tried all the methods in those two threads and they do not work. So, don't send us there.

There must be something that's preventing Chevron from communicating with the phone. And all I can think of is either a Zune update or a Windows update, but it's certain that Chevron no longer unlocks phones since March.

Note: I flashed with I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1 which is 7004 and should be able to run Chevron. On NoDo right now, because Chevron is a NoGo, but I can always refhash back and unlock, once there is a proper way to unlock.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwill:
Having the same problem. I opened a thread about it here also http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016703. I'm using the same pc as I had to unlock it plenty of times before and as you said, ALL the tricks listed in the Chevron thread. But, it has to be Zune that's causing the problem and there is no way to roll it back.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WithinRafael:
You should've unlocked the phone before updating. You're SOL for now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwill:
It was unlocked, just there was no prevent relock xap out when I finally flashed the Telstra Nodo rom and then I flashed back to the stock tmobile rom and let the 7008 update run just out of curiosity of the update process. Well, that apparently updated Zune too (7008) update. Now, I just installed the release of NoDo, so I guess I just have to live it with until now unless I can find someone who has the previous version of Zune still installed.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesAllen:
Chevron

Look, I read all of the hundreds of comments over at the Chevron site and this app is a nightmare for most people. I would say about 50% deal with the error message you are getting post nodo and for me, pre nodo. I have never negatively commented publicly on any developers efforts, for many, they do ground breaking work. But this app is a, well, I said I would not comment so I won't, unless it is to say I have nothing good to say. It would probably have been better if the support from the devs had continued, I am sure, but they did not seem to have a good handle on these communications issues even when they were supporting it. Sorry, just my opinion. I only hope someone else is working on a reliable replacement for Chevron.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
Thanks, but that's not helping. Besides I have another Omnia 7 with 16 GB that's 7004. When I asked the question I asked for at least 10 people that have posted in the 2 threads I've mentioned (and also across the forum - personally I am searching for a method to run Chevron since 23 Feb) and are on 7004. I am sure that it has to do with Zune/Win update as 50% of people don't update their system regularly.

I haven't run a Wireshark test to see exactly why Chevron doesn't work, as I am not that good and I'm sure there are others here who know what's the story and they could share.

As an example, it's not a random find the update via disconnect from internet. There are several queries made; the first is to MS update which confirms there is an update(march/nodo), another is to check if the phone's carrier is blacklisted. If it is, you don't get the update. If you interrupt this process in the middle, you end up not being blacklisted thus you get the update.

We're all waiting for an answer from someone who understands the issue, and saying we're screwed without a proper reason isn't really helping us. So was everyone else with branded phones before PPTP/disconnect trick. No offense meant.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
That's my hope too, but I don't see anyone stepping up.

What I don't understand is why the Chevron technique isn't applied now to create another unlock tool? From what I could understand (how Chevron works is explained somewhere in the forum) it mimics the developer unlock process. So if dev unlocks work after Feb and March updates, the process could be duplicated, at least in theory. Until then, there's only one solution available and even that's not working for many people, now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BananaChipz:
The NoDo update apparently included a fix to the "hole" that allowed Chevron to unlock the phone. You probably are SOL until someone comes out with a new hack.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerax:
This is what i did when i was stuck too.

1) close skype, make sure your hosts file is not set to readonly and open it in notepad. Clear everything inside it and press save, but leave it open.

2) in cmd flush your dns (ipconfig/ flushdns)

3) Plug the phone in open Chevron and then close Zune

4) Open WPConnect, and press unlock on chevron as much as you can (it will fail!)

4.5) Press save again in notepad

5) Flush your DNS again

6) Open WPConnect again when it closes press Unlock in chevron.

It should work :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martani:
I had my Omnia 7 unlocked before the NoDo update, then after the update I locked it again and I was unable to unlock it with ChevronWP7 or with the official Microsoft unlocker since I have a developer account.

The thing is that when I was on the 7008 build, I erased the URL to the MS servers the phone checks to get unlocked, so once it is locked again, it become impossible for the phone to unlock itself again.

I reverted back to the 7008 build which restored the unlock state and installed the NoDo update, and it is unlocked.

The thing is, on Samsung, there is no way to write the URLs back to the registry.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesAllen:
WPConnect

I get an error message (File is not a valid WIN32 file) when I try to launch WPConnect.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
Flash a 7008 ROM.

Unlock with Chevron.

Apply the "Prevent Relocking" hack.

Flash NoDo through Zune.

You'll still be unlocked in NoDo.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibbby:
Hello all,

For ages I just couldn't figure out why I was unable to unlock with Chevron even though I had followed all the steps. All I did was erase the entries in the host file and save, but kept the file open so that it could not be accessed whilst I was unlocking with Chevron and hey presto! It worked!!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] root beer:
I updated my flashed Omnia 7 (JK1) to the NoDo update. I had never unlocked the phone with Chevron before but thought what the heck as xbox live doesn't offer multiplayer so even If the device is banned It wont make any difference.

Reflashed JK1 than ran Chevron (after downloading Net framework 4.0 and Windows Phone Developer Tools). Sideloaded apps and Samsung Tools to stop it relocking. Then finally updated again to NoDo and It's still unlocked.

Also stopped Zune service to see If It stops the revokes from Microsoft.

So updating to NoDo does not stop you unlocking even If you haven't unlocked before.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruscik:
JamesAllen stop spamming. If you can not get it to work does not mean every one else has to. Chevron was released in version 1 afterwards team was approched by MS and they stopped developent and infact removed it all from their server.

There is one or two threads that explain how to make chevron work.

1. edit your hosts file, remove the read only, clear the entries there, run it, put your old entires back in apply read only

2. Switch off skype and make sure your firewall is not blocking it

3. Connect the device, let zune see it, let device lock. Start chevron, unlock your phone and run chevron.

I just done it yesterday again with no issues.

On Nodo you for now can not unlock it. Only way is to pre nodo rom, unlock and prevent from relocking. Then run update via Zune and zune alone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesAllen:
Sorry

My apologies to everyone, was looking for help. I'll wait for AT&T to release the updates. Spent days working on the Chevron unlock with no success, finally deinstalled Developers tools and decided to go with "official" updates.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan00793:
As others said the only way to have a "dev" unlocked device (other then through the unlocker) is to have your device unlocked before you updated to NoDo. I do not know the way to do it for Samsung, for HTC all you need is an extra xap and it will lock the reg to 1. As i'm very lazy and don't want to reinstall the updates as it is not very convenient (don't want to have to reinstall apps). I am just going to make a quick app in c# that does almost nothing but hopefully be enough to get through and get me access to unlock my device.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwill:
Not sure what part of this actually caused it to work, but I FINALLY got Chevron to work again. I didn't follow the WPConnect piece, but did flush dns and completely deleted my hosts file and left it open while trying to unlock.

Ok so on the RC4 CM7 build my wifi is very unstable, whenever I attempt to download files it will randomly crash resulting in any files being downloaded without a restart bookmark being lost as I have to leave the program I'm in turn off Wifi turn it back on and then finallly i'm able to reconnect to the internet. Is anyone else having this problem? If you did, do you know how to fix it? I'm at my wits end here as there are programs I've had to try to download for over 2 hours because of these wifi crashes....

Thanks,

Adan
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I've had the exact same issue, and I'm not 100% sure yet, but mine completely went away when I uninstalled Setting Profiles Lite. I was using it to turn off Wifi every time it went into suspend mode (same settings I used on Eclair) but since I did that, wifi hasn't burped once. Like you I could barely download anything before it would stop and I had to turn off and back on wifi to make it work again for a while.
[Nook Color General] luciferii:
this seems to happen to me every morning between 5 and 7am.. most other times it works great.. i cant figure it out either
[Nook Color General] Adanedhels:

Well I checked just to make sure and I am not using the program you mentioned so I am at a loss as to why the wifi will crap out randomly and have to be turned off then on... Any other ideas?

I'm having the same issue. No idea what's going on, but it's driving me crazy.

[Nook Color General] mazook98:
This may be silly, but are you all setting your wifi to 'never sleep's on advanced settings under wifi settings? If you are not familiar with Cm roms, I can see how you might miss this essential setting. Just press the menu key after going into wifi settings, and a secondary menu will come up..with scan, and advanced...under advanced, set wifi sleep policy to never. Hope this helps, but if it's something you all already know, then please disregard.

Delivered by a little dude that lives behind your screen.
[Nook Color General] luciferii:
yeah, thats one of the first things i do when installing a rom and the problem persists past that
[Nook Color General] ahernandez646:
i have a mytouch slide and i have try everything and i have same issues with the wifi. a lot of you say to put the wifi on never sleep, but it dosent help. wifi issues still out there on rc4. please help.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
So this isn't specific to the Nook Color, it's a CM7 bug overall that Wifi falls out?

What's interesting is my wifi will stay connected, idle, for 8+ hours (while I slept) but I then download 2M of files while eating breakfast and it dies and I have to restart wifi to make it work again...

This is definitely going to make me wait until it's fixed to put CM7 on emmc, this is really aggravating. Which I hate, because I'm really digging CM7. It's perkier, runs smoother, and no B&N shortcut thingy popping up by accident all of the time.

So anyone NOT on SD seeing this problem on the Nook Color? Sounds like this might be a generic CM7 issue but I've also been told that heavy IO on the SD could cause IO problems in other areas, including wifi.
[Nook Color General] unreal2k:
I'm not on SD and having the same problems.

Popped out my CM7 SD card and booted to Eclair and just spent 45 minutes updating my apps I hadn't done in 4 days, read Engadget, read some news in Pulse, played a youtube video, downloaded some other data.

Not one hiccup.

I have been dealing with thisfora while and I seem to have come across a work around. I switched the security settings of my router and made it a compley open network. Since then, I've had zero issues. My wireless network is unsecure now, but I live out in the woods, so I'm not too concerned.
[Nook Color General] Dollyllama:
Several people have reported this, specifically with the Nook Color. I personally haven't had wifi crashes or refusal to wake up, but I have noticed that websites take significantly longer to load on my Nook Color than they do on either my wifes or my Droid X. Obviously there are a ton of factors that could be responsible for this though.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Okay, so I tried everything I could think of.. Imaged back to totally clean CM7 RC4, not even gapps.. Fiddled with all sorts of CM Perf settings (vm heap, JIT, etc)

Considering I've also had the wifi dropouts on my phone, work, and home router I was convinced it could not be anything router specific, but I have an old Linksys B router that I keep up for my daughters computer which I have an ancient Prism wireless card in so I didn't have to run cables to her room.

It works. I used it about hour last night, off and on for a few hours today. No wifi hangs.

So my next step is to figure out if it's the router or the encryption... My B router has no encryption on it, just MAC filtering to keep out the neighbors. The G router running DD-WRT has WPA Encryption. So I'm going to disable Encryption on the G router and turn on MAC filtering and see what happens. If it works there, it must be related to encryption. If it still fails, it must be something related to the router or router FW.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Okay, first thing I did was change from TKIP+AES to only TKIP on my G router and so far so good. I found some other evidence that AES might be an issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11598765&postcount=187

Anyone else, please try TKIP only if your router has AES available?
[Nook Color General] Adanedhels:
nopers

Sorry man I don't have AES as a option, so I'm not sure that is the problem...
[Nook Color General] Burnninator:
I narrowed the problem down to aes encryption on both wpa and wpa2. Changed to just tkip and problem has gone away.
[Nook Color General] Adanedhels:
Ok stupid router...

Ok so my router doesn't let me use anything BUT AES on WPA2 so I had to switch it down to WPA and then switch the setting to TKIP, still not sure if this actually fixed anything I'll let you know if I successfully download this file from Gameloft...

...

Ok having this fail on me the other few times I did this I decided to try it one more time, but this time I also rebooted the modem again just for kicks.... after rebooting the modem again the WPA with TKIP finally provided a stable internet connection. I have no idea why, but at least it finally worked. That said it must be the AES protocols built into the wifi drivers in CM7 that cause any attempt to connect to a router using that encryption to be completely unstable.

Thanks Kaytsus for figuring this out.

Adan
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I haven't downloaded anything huge, but I've used it after turning off AES for about two days now and I've had zero wifi dropouts. Typical usage is Pulse, Engadget, very light browsing, market downloads, downloading 3M of geocaching data, youtube... I could do nearly NONE of that before without resetting the wifi every 3-4 minutes.

So for you it might not be perfect yet, I haven't seen further problems. My annoyance now is the routers you have no control over which might be AES or INCLUDE AES, one annoying example.... Froyo Wifi Tethering. WPA2 AES. :(
[G Tablet General] pwnjabi1:
Hey all, I recently received my Gtab and wanted to highlight some issues and see if anyone else had experienced them or had solutions to them. I am running the latest vegan 5.1 or whatever.

1) I popped in my 8gb microSD card, but when I mount it via the notification bar, an 11gb storage device shows up. I am not sure if this is the internal storage or if it is my SD card combined with internal storage. If someone could clarify which one it is, and how to access the other storage device, that would be lovely.

2) When throwing a video onto it, I tried playing it with the stock video player, and there is no audio. I alternatively downloaded rock player and tried playing it through that, but again new audio. Do show and stuff have to be specifically converted for the g tab?

Thanks all
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
The audio sometimes turns off because it thinks headphones are plugged in. Plug some in an un-plug to get sound back. It doesn't happen to often but I keep a cut off Jack in my Gtab case to remedy the situation if it arises.

Are you sure your looking at sdcard 2? That's what your 8gb should show up under.
