[Xoom Android Development] Codespeare:
BRD posted a set of files to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1, and apparently this causes some compatibility problems with the files included in the main post. That's why I posted my own, which I modified on my own.

It's actually trivial to modify your own framework-res.apk, at least if all you want to change is the user agent string. You can use the honeytool to decompile, modify the XML, then use the honeytool to recompile.

I'm not sure if it's required, but I actually pulled the resources.arsc out of the recompiled framework-res.apk and overwrote it into the original file, since some people seemed to be having force close problems with recompiled .apk files.
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
It is required because the apk has to be signed (and match the other system signatures). Alternatively, you can copy the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from the signed file

Or just sign everything with your own signature I guess
[Xoom Android Development] theuchi:
i can confirm that the methoed used by Codespeare does work with a 3.1 BRD rooted us wifi xoom
[Xoom Android Development] Lolento:
Codespeare,

Using your files above and following your method, i'm getting a lot of crashes of the things that are running in the background (like launcher, bt...) after booting into Honeycomb 3.1.

Attached is my framework file pulled from my system....can you kindly modify this one for me? Because this stuff is not really trivial for me.

EDIT: NVM, got it working....
[Xoom Android Development] Sodikop:
What was wrong? How did you fix it?
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
where is the file that is needs to be edited? I'm playing around with my framework-res.apk but there are a ton of files in there :)
[Xoom Android Development] kevdog:
Im probably sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, however my experience with apktool in the past was the following:

1) copy original framework

2) Make a copy of the framework

3) Even keep a third copy in case the sh*t hits the fan

4) Decompile #1, find the xml file, make the necessary changes.

5) Compile #4

6) Copy from #5 the modified xml file and the resources.arsc file to #2 (using winrar or 7zip -- drop and drag -- so basically #2 is exactly the same as the original minus the replaced xml file and resources.arsc I(As alluded to earlier this step is to avoid any problem related to signatures.)

7) Push #6 to the phone and reboot

Maybe someone could verify the information for me. Or I guess I will just try it myself. Remember however that as long as you keep #3 in a good place, you will never be in a jam. I should probably add a step #0 -- make a nandroid backup in case the sh*t really hits the fan so you can always fallback -- however luckily I've never had to actually utilize the failsafe mechanism when altering the framework-res.apk.
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
thanks, I which xml file? There are a number of them in there.
[Xoom Android Development] Lolento:
I think just rebooting but I can't say for sure
[Xoom Android Development] Konfuzion:
I <3 you. Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] kevdog:
Ok

I've decompiled the framework. Within the strings.xml file I find the following:

<string name="web_user_agent" formatted="false">Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android %s) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 %sSafari/534.13</string>

<string name="web_user_agent_target_content">Mobile\u0020</string>

Which value do I need to change here??? And what is the \u0020?
[Xoom Android Development] bjarnia:
For the record, this is installable through root explorer..just overwrite the file in /system/framework with mount r/w on and reboot.
[Xoom Android Development] kevdog:
Ok -- I think I completed the mod manually. Not meaning to hijack this thread.

Pre-requisites:

Knowledge of adb (push/pull files), hnytool installed and running, winrar (7zip could also be used).

1.Pull framework-res.apk

2.Make a copy of pulled framework-res.apk

3.Use hnytool to decompile framework-res.apk

4.Using notepad++ or other such linux based editor, open framework/res/values/strings.xml

5.Do a search for web_user_agent_target_content

6. Change the value from Mobile\u0020 to 10_6_3\u0020 (thanks brd for this info!!)

7. Recompile framework

8. Make a backup copy of the original framework-res.apk

9. Opening winrar, drag and drop the resources.arsc from the compiled framework-res.apk to the original framework-res.apk (Please note -- this is the only file you are going to be changing).

10. Push the modified framework-res.apk created in #9 (the original framework file which you copied the resources.arsc file into) back to /system/framework/framework-res.apk

11. Reboot device

That should be it.

On reboot its going to take a bit longer because the davlik cache needs to be rebuilt.

If in a pinch or something doesn't work -- push the backup created in #8 back to the phone and reboot.

Hopefully this helps someone. This is a very entry level modification.
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
cool thanks, going to try tomorrow
[Xoom Android Development] harish3110:
confused??!!??!!

ok im confused wat is this uastring patch for???:confused::confused:
[Xoom Android Development] _j_:
Motorola Xoom is identified as a handset by different webpages. So if you will often be forwarded to their handset version of it. (e.g. if you go to www.facebook.com you will be sent to m.facebook.com) You can bypass it by about:debug string and set the id to desktop in the debug menu of the browser, however this resets after a reboot.

With this you can set this setting to be permanent.
[Xoom Android Development] harish3110:
ok..i used the initial zip file on my 3.1 updated xoom and im stuck on the bootanimation...nw what to do????i have the tiamat kernet by using bigrushdogs method.....is there a cwm flashable package????
[Xoom Android Development] harish3110:
what do i do with the files????????i am stuck on infinite bootloop?????? is there a method by using cwd by mounting?????
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Good instructions but you need to make this change instead of the one listed below.

Follow everything listed below EXCEPT change this in res/values/strings.xml

<string name="web_user_agent">Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U;) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13</string>
<string name="web_user_agent_target_content">Mobile\u0020</string>

to test, go to nhl.com or nba.com, these websites bring up a mobile version with the orginal ua string. With this new one, it brings up the full site.

Thanks for getting me started!
[Xoom Android Development] Konfuzion:
THIS fixed the boot loop for me.

1. Place the file on SD card

2. Power off the xoom by pressing Vol up + Power

3. When it powers on press down (after 3 secs) and when you see recovery press Vol up

4. Goto mounts and storage and mount SD card

5. Then flash .zip.... and so on.
[Xoom Android Development] Lolento:
can someone make a 3.2 compatible version of this?
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
+1 to this. I love all my 3.1 mods to jump ship so quickly.
[Xoom Android Development] Lolento:
No one is going to pick this one up?

This mod is sorely needed on 3.2
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
Give it some time :)
[Xoom Android Development] Lolento:
lol... you're right, but its the only thing missing on my 3.2 setup

Then I'm golden
[Xoom Android Development] shakuyi:
yes please much needed...no idea why google didnt make this stick
[Xoom Android Development] Lolento:
No update to this yet?

Can someone post a method to manually do this myself?
[Xoom Android Development] kevdog:
Haven't tried it manually, however modifying the framework-res.apk file manually has always been a winner for me in the past. I would suspect it is no difference with the 3.2 update as well.

Here are the instructions for manual modification:

[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
Has anyone actually checked to see if this is needed on 3.2? After updating my wifi xoom I set ua string in stock browser to desktop. Rebooted and it stayed. It has stayed on both stock & tiamat kernels.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom Android Development] novaIS350:
The desktop string does not stay on reboot. Not sure why Google overlooked this simple feature. Also it looks like ESPN is blocking all videos on android platforms. So lame. I bet they didn't block any content on ipad or iPhone.
[Xoom Android Development] qubz:
It looks like Brut.all has yet to update apktool/hnytool to deal with 3.2. He is aware of it and it won't be long now.

[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
How did you get the update? Are you rooted? What kernel? Maybe one of these things is the reason the ua string won't stay for you. I just tried it again to be sure and after reboot stock browser ua string stays at desktop. I have wifi Xoom updated to 3.2 manually via USB. Rooted manually. Stock kernel.

Sent from my HD2
[Xoom Android Development] Lolento:
This is where it getd confusing for the average user.

Yes after reboot the about:debug page still show UA as desktop but actually the UA has reverted to mobile already.

You'll see this when u go to websites that pulls a mobile version when it sees Android UA.
[Xoom Android Development] woolmonkey:
Here is the framework-res.apk that has a UA string modified. This is for 3.2 and needs to be pushed with adb. apk-tool can decompile the framework-res.apk but that's about it. I have been using this since I updated to 3.2 with no problems.
[Xoom Android Development] WhiteReign:
Im still in ever ending loop. Can I not install this over 3.1?
[Xoom Android Development] woolmonkey:
No this is for 3.2 as it says.
[Xoom Android Development] Lolento:
Confirmed working for me! THX

Although I had to re-configure all of my accounts in the system....I don't remember having to do that when I pushed the 3.1 version.
[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
Well I must be special because I can reboot and go to hulu with stock browser and it plays.

[Xoom Android Development] hoopsdavis:
Where do we push the file to?
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
How did you get into the settings. about:debug doesn't do anything in my browser.
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
System/framework
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
Apparently Hulu doesn't require this fix. With the modified flash and setting to desktop in dolphin browser I can watch Hulu as well.
[Xoom Android Development] woolmonkey:
All this "fix" does is permanently set the default browser UA string to a desktop one permanently.
[Xoom Android Development] Tikerz:
I also had to re-enter my accounts but it works great. Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] hoopsdavis:
Is it just me or is there anyone else getting the message "your Browser Is No Longer Supported" when trying to go to the "Google+" site?
[Xoom Android Development] woolmonkey:
Yes I get the same thing. Its odd since the UA is reporting as Safari 5.1. And I just checked this on a site that displays the UA.
[Xoom Android Development] joeyddr:
any chance of a flashable zip?
[Xoom Android Development] whitedragon33:
Thanks! Working fine here. 3G Xoom on 3.2/Tiamat 2.00
[Xoom Android Development] brandogg:
I have a question about this - if I apply this patch, will I still be able to change the UA string temporarily? Sometimes I change it to iPhone (for Veetle, etc). Other than that rare occasion I basically always set it to Desktop. Using a Wifi US Xoom, rooted, stock ernel and stock 3.2 update.

So, about an hour now, I'm trying to buy an app in the marketplace. long story short, I am entering my credit card details but then my city, state, and country can't be change for cryin' out loud its stucked at:

First I ignored it, corrected everything else which is editable, but the "next" button won't accept it. (Since it's wrong and my address would be a mismatch) I grabbed this laptop, signed-in to my windows live, my address there isn't configured, I just hit Philippines and enter some address.

Second try, didn't work out.

clicked the browser again, hit alt-d typed in microsoft, hit ctrl-enter, checked my profile there, my address isn't configured as well, typed in Philippines again, then typed in the same "some address" I typed into live.com

Third try, didn't work out.

Hit zune website, it auto signed my xbox live, there's no address there to configure. Waited a few minutes, shook my hd7 retried buying the app, upon adding the credit card. It's still doesn't work.

What a piece of trash.... NE ideas? thanks!

I am using an X10i. I've been wondering, are there any ways i can connect my phone to the internet using my computer's modem?

If u have a mac u can use its wirless as a hotspot if u connect it with internet cable. I do that for my phone. Hope this helps

[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
yeah ,turn your pc into a wifi hotspot..use softwares like virtual wifi router for windows 7

Note:it will work only if u use a cable to connect ur pc and have a jobless wifi in your pc.. :P

you can also connect using bluetooth,i tried once but failed ,didnt tried much,it wasnt worth that much effort!!
[XPERIA X10 General] kultus:
pls dont be naive... ;) not every wifi card supports wifi hotspot even with special applications and tools, and the native windows 7 could make only ad-hoc whis is not supported by android 2.1 or 2.2 as I know...I've read many forums and finaly bought wifi router and what I can say its that its really worth to have it...
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
yeah wifi card also imp..but most modern laptops and PC are quipped with such wifi cards

I can always use my Vaio for wifi hotspots with my X10..never faced any problems!!
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
It's not possible through USB. It possible with the stock function of win7 or software for your pc. (Only if you got wireless wifi card in it ofcourse)

I'm using Windows 7 native wifi sharing right now, it broadcasts as a regular wifi network with WPA-2. I use it for phones, consoles, etc ;)

Because it will eat batter, no far distance supported and your internet will be ssssssssssssssssssssuper slow.

^^^This is true. At 2.1Mb/sec of throughput, the Bluetooth will be the slow cog in that wheel of connection.
[XPERIA X10 General] kultus:
AGAIN!!! Not every wifi card support it!!! I ve tried ale possibilities (ad hoc, bridge) without succeed...with ipod touch 2G, samsungs i8510, i8910 everything worked, so the problem is only with X10 and android!!! You could make wifi hotspot only with newer or supported cars (my NTB is 3 years old and has unsupported intel wifi card) so this is the deal...
[XPERIA X10 General] madangryscientis:
It is possible on an HTC phone, so I'm a bit surprised that there isn't an app to allow us to do this.
[XPERIA X10 General] shchenok:
I wasn't arguing that all cards support it, I was just saying that when it IS compatible with your card, it isn't adhoc.
[XPERIA X10 General] BrunoPGomes:
Try using Connectify on your computer. It is free. If it manages to create the hotspot on your wireless card, your mobile will be able to use the new hotspot connection created. It has worked for at least 3 of my friends and it enables me to share connections on my laptop no matter where I am.

Anyway 1st I want ask DID THERE IS ANY CHANCE TO INSTAL APPLICATION WITH OUT ROOT

Beacause all rooting does void your warranty and what will be happend if phone get totaly crash and phone is Not boot to the "M" logo so you can't unroot/restoring your warranty.

I was reading post about Android SDK that we can run from pc

ps.sorry for my broken english

Did GingerBreak will delate my internal SDcard content?

Let me ask?

-Run the GingerBreak.exe

-Click Root

-When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn "USB Debugging ON” (USB Debugging-Menu, Settings, Applications, Development)

-click “Root device” and Atrix is rooted?

After that

Run Gladenable from Pc or copy all GladEnable folder to internal/external sd card and run "adb” file from phone

It’s all or I miss something :confused:

Finally job done and I’m ok to installing non-market apps etc.
[Atrix 4G General] jjwatmyself:
If you are on ATT, I'd suggest going to 4.1.83 first via OTA update or use RSD lite 5.0 to flash the official ATT file. Then gingerbreak.exe followed by gladenable.bat. there are dedicated posts for each if you search. I was confused at first but figered it out. For RSD lite you boot holding the volume up key. For gingerbreak.exe and gladenable.bat you set USB to none and then enable the debug toggle you mentioned. I am thinking about changing from ATT rom to GreyBlur or GingerBlur at some point so you might find yourself doing this a few times over the next months.
[Atrix 4G General] woll0040:
Untrusted Install open after update?

There has been some suggestion that the Untrusted Install is available after running updates and may not require rooting or these utilities. Can this be confirmed or denied? If confirmed, is there a specific update path? e.g. updating straight to 83 or 26 to 57 to 83.
