[Thunderbolt General] Nobody's Hero:
Like others, I'm not getting to the menu when I use ##778#. I'm running VirusRom, which uses stock contacts, and have tried it with both stock and leaked radios to no avail.

Rather than just taking me back to the menu, I get a FC error for EPST (com.google.android.epst). Lame.
[Thunderbolt General] fly_guy:
^ same here, Running Virus with stock Contacts, and getting FCs
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
Thanks, It worked for me on Bamf's 1.5.
[Thunderbolt General] thailmore:
It already did.
[Thunderbolt General] LSUstang05:
Keep getting an error message "Sorry! The application EPST (process com.google.android.epst) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and then I have to Force Close. Tried this quite a few times today and can't get it to work.

I live in a non 4G area and only receive 3G signal. I'm running Senseless VirusROM and am stuck on 1X.
[Thunderbolt General] BurnOne77:
Still nothing but 1x in Boston unless using 3g fix. Went out for me around 2am if I remember right. I work 12 hour shifts 5-5. So going on 17 hours here.
[Thunderbolt General] thailmore:
I was rocking 1X all day in Fort Bragg, NC, until i switched to the old 3G. Working fine now. Guess i'll be watching for news that it's back up. No 4G here yet anyways, so i'm good with having 3G back. 4G next month, or so the chick at the verizon store said. Fingers crossed.
[Thunderbolt General] fredspierson:
still on 3g in atlanta area. no fix
[Thunderbolt General] jmstumme:
Talked to techs and they said when eHRPD comes back it might cause auth errors, so somethin to keep your eyes open for ...
[Thunderbolt General] wakestrong:
That's Verizon's story but I think they just dont want us changing our settings and then having issues. The 4G network is down due to authentication issues and 1X is in and out anyways. The only issue here is once everything is back up on the 4G some noobs might leave their settings this way, which is why I added the how to change it back part to the OP.
[Thunderbolt General] droidhackzor:
i too had the force close errors for the epst menu. i tried flashing to a stock image setting the radio and reflashing to virusrom with a failior, while i don't beleave for a min. that this is all that changed in my opinion but it might be a contributing factor that some may want to try this.......

basicly, as i said above i did all the normal trials and all failed untill i installed a "re-mix" status bar from here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1043589

the "re-mix" status bar i used was the "Battery Mod v2" and then tried it again using the normal "intigrated virusrom contacts/dialer" and the EPST menu came up with no problems and changed the setting just like the instructions say an i am now on 3g going from 1x so who knows, either way, it works, and it should work to change it back when we need to so there is no need to flash to a stock dialer/contacts.
[Thunderbolt General] mi7chy:
In Southern California the default settings of cdma+lte/evdo auto and eHRPD is now successfully negotiating 3G. Hopefully 4G fix is imminent.
[Thunderbolt General] BurnOne77:
same here in Boston. First time reseting LTE has been getting 3g instead of 1x.

Bring back 4g and go bruins.

Edit: LTE back up for about an hour and been solid! About 22 hours downtime.
[Thunderbolt General] moosez3:
My LTE is back in Orlando!!!!!

Should I do anything to the changes I made?

Edit:okay I put it back on EhRPD like the OP said, but what is the difference, LTE was working before I changed it??
[Thunderbolt General] wakestrong:
Ok everyone seems to be reporting that LTE is back online, if you are in a 4G area it is advisable to make sure you switch to eHRPD to avoid bad hand offs between 4G and 3G as well as allowing simultaneous voice without hiccups.
[Thunderbolt General] gobluejd:
Question.....I live in NW Indiana, not a LTE area, Chicago is about 45 miles away from me, which has LTE. However I have had NO 3G since sometime Tues/Wed. Did this "fix" and now have 3G.

Why would this affect me if not in a LTE area? Or is it coming?
[Thunderbolt General] wakestrong:
You were on the thunderbolt's 3G network, which went down when the LTE went down. Currently our phone is the only one to use this type of 3G which allows simultaneous voice and data (this was a selling point for the Bolt).
[Thunderbolt General] gobluejd:
Ahh gotcha. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] cwescapexlt4x4:
Appears Phoenix, AZ is back on line.

Thanks for the help and updates on this forum!
[Thunderbolt General] lukedwards:
This was the only thing that fixed my reliability issues I have been having the last couple weeks. Been a few days now and no problems at all anymore. Mainly, my 3g signal was flaky at best. Now I'm getting a steady 3 bars. If I revert back to the old settings, the problems instantly come back. There is no 4g where I live so for now I'm stuck with 3g. Thank you!!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
Hello,

Problem #1: Voice Actions and Voice Dialing are not accurate, especially in French. Plus, I drive around a lot so this is significant (read: safety and fines).

Solution I have so far: installed Nuance VSuite 3.2 extracted from some Motorola phone as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943688

The recognition works beautifully, but...

Problem #2: I can start the app with my Bluetooth headset's button, but only if the screen is on (the phone can still be locked). If the screen is off and I press the button, I'll hear the headset's speaker turn on, then off shortly after. The screen also flickers in a similar fashion. Only when I press the Power button on the phone will the app launch...

So my question: is there a solution to this delayed start/screen flicker?

Things I've tried/checked already:

-As of writing this, there are no voice recognition apps whatsoever on the market in French. (And few in English, but that's not really an option here.)

-There are phones with VSuiteApp 4.x instead of 3.2, but my attempts at making those versions work have not been successful yet. (I have: Motorola Droid X and Samsung Fascinate both stock and deodexed) The best I've managed was for those apps to start and disappear immediately. Force close didn't work?! I'm not sure if my problems are due to the app having been created for an older version of Android or missing framework files...

Thanks in advance,

Darkshado
[Captivate Accessories] nissy86:
Any good recommendation?

I still prefer the smudgeless MATTE finish with the smooth frictionless sensation over my screen.
[Captivate Accessories] welchertc:
I haven't looked much, but when I was into anti glare/smudge, I couldn't find any specifically cut for our phones. Could be mistaken now. However, I did find that Speck makes matte protectors for 4.3 inch gps units. Yes, our screens are 4 inches, but the extra space around the edges of our displays allows the Speck ones to fit. They were high quality from what I could tell, but I just got sick of the grainy look that comes as a result of all matte protectors.

If the smooth sensation is all that matters to you, get the 3 pack made for the captivate at your local at&t store. Alternately, search for the brand Real Look, as they make the at&t ones. These stay super slick, so swype works like butter much like with a matte screen, and you don't get the grainy display like matte finish. Fingerprints are also easy to remove with any soft cloth.
[Captivate Accessories] ajh5408:
Realook makes one that is supposedly matte (or anti-glare, rather), though I haven't seen one in person to know if the quality is any good. I've seen a few on eBay that claim to be matte, but they also brand them as "privacy" protectors, so I'm a little hesitant since viewing angle is kinda important to me on a phone.
[Captivate Accessories] jessehclark:
Awesome Anti-Glare Screen protectors

i bought these recently

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170631580706

i understand that's for an inspire, but i believe the seller has many different phones available.

they had a pretty good fit (definitely the right size, but a tiny gap between the protector and the edge of the glass in the corners....TINY)

they have a great feel, are very slightly "frosted" so they do soften the screen a bit, but after a day i didnt even notice.

they are AWESOME. I got 3 for $5, took my time cleaning and installing and i have ZERO bubbles or dust, they got here fast (US seller, not hong kong)

and they REPEL FINGERPRINTS AND REDUCE GLARE!!! yay!

coming from a g1, i was very annoyed with how dirty my screen got using the swype keyboard. this is an answer to my prayers.
[Captivate Accessories] rompus:
My son uses these on his Captivate.

They fit really well and are really smudge proof.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IHABFU

I prefer my screen naked though. Any screen protector diminishes the awesome look of the SAMOLED display.

Tools needed :

My KIT for SMALI files (using options for each step )

Notepad++( Hexadecimal editor for *.xml )

This is an example of a smali file changed (in this case, Global.Actions.smali located in android.policy.jar)

_______________ Power Menu modded (smali changed) ______________

Open my zip kit ( recomended in a Theming Folder for example with apkmanager and all files you would like to mod )

What you get :

Baksmali

Baksmali ( executable Jar File )

Command.exe ( Shell file )

Notepad text with the two commands for decompile and compile already made for you ( just copy and paste into command.exe )

Smali

Smali ( executable Jar File )

1. So the only thing you need is to place your apk in the smali kit folder

2. To Decompile :

java -jar baksmali.jar -x yourfile -o classout

(classout folder can be renamed to whatever you want, doesnt matter until you dont forget to change the name too in the second command)

3. Make the modifications you want for smali files

4. To Compile again :

java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout -o classes.dex

5. Copy and paste the file

classes.dex

into your apk _ you will overwrite the old one.

Thanks to Rafalense

Enjoy it :rolleyes:
[Desire Themes and Apps] Kameo:
Thanks mate, it might be useful for some trick i'm gonna test.
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Hi,

thanks for the guide and the advice.

But does the apk manager the smali decompile and compile too?

Could you give some hints where you can change what in smali?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Yorzua:
Apk manager 4.9 and Smali/Baksmali

Sorry for the late answer, have been busy with the last release of my theme ;)

Apk manager decompile/compile xml files for apk

Smali/Baksmali decompile/compile smali files for apk

I am preparing a Tuto for both but a good start will be to check here and here :cool:
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Okay now i got that:)

I know them both and they have been very helpful ;)

But i would like to know more about things like that you deleted the powermenus headline.

I you have time could you look a that.

I just can't compile the apks any more, so my theme can't get an update :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] Yorzua:
Apk manager 4.9 on xp windows

If you follow my Tuto, you should always use

apk manager 4.9

editing framework as you want to mod xml __ even better with XP rather than any windows else.

Apk manager is not needed to decompile/recompile png's

you just forget zip and use instead

7zip

which allow you to directly drag any file you want to another zip without decompiling/compiling.

Another rule is that you cant drag a xml from a zip to your hdd folder.

you must decompile the apk first. if the xml is already modded, then you can drag it everywhere and re-drag it where you want.

Never set framework-res as 1.apk

apk manager does everything for you, you just need to decompile,

set always level of compression to 0 in order to avoid issues during compilation work on the framework folder decompiled and just compile.

If you proceed step by step, you should be fine.

Note that systemUI.apk gives a lot of issues during decompilation

Smali files are included in systemUI so better use my tool for smali's files

Last one, i will prepare a tuto to take out the title in Power menu soon ;)

Hey all, I've noticed a strange problem on my O1. For some reason, some songs won't show up in my PowerAmp library. When I refresh it using Meridian, Meridian just exits - no force close error, just goes back to the desktop. I renamed the files with very short names, yet they don't show up. I'm running Void echo.

Oh, and if it helps, the particular album that isn't showing up is Close To The Edge - Yes.

Two questions:

Is there a directory of preloaded programs on the Dell Streak (from AT&T) so that you can find them in the root directory, and delete them?

Second, which is the best app for deleting them (and file management)?

I am used to WM6.5, and Resco Explorer on that OS was just like Windows Explorer, very easy to use, drag and drop, nested folders, etc.

Thanks

So I could be wrong and I am not a expert but i thought i would post this I have seen a lot of forums on the web that say hardware acceleration doesnt work on our phone or on Gingerbread in the first place but this link seems to work for me and has a flash-able zip http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=999064

please if there is a better zip or method tell me or any other info you might have on this topic or this link thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
Well, i am using hardware acceleration for a while now ant i must say, it works great. UI is more snappy now, being rendered by GPU not CPU. And there are a lot of tweaks to be made to improve the performance and battery of O1.

The easy way and in my opinion, the best, is to flash a custom ROM (you have plenty to chose from) and apply the tweaks you need. You just have to take an hour or two and read carefully the threads dedicated for that, or google the issue.

Of course, any change you do to your phone is on your own risk, so try to read carefully what others say. You may prevent some damage by doing that.

If you are familiar with benchmarking, i can say that some of us got higher scores than a lot of high-range smartphones like Galaxy S or Desire. A lot higher.

Just check the threads dedicated to O1 here on XDA and you can make an opinion.

BTW, Franco's tweaks from the link you posted above are absolutely mad! They bring a lot of improvement on batt and hw.

Cheers!

Hey guys, in this thread, i will describe my experience while downgrading my LG P500 to v. 10B from v.10C & describe the procedure for the same.

I bought my P500 about a month ago. It was my first android phone, so i was totally new for the android OS. I read many forums & blogs &gathered required inf. about rooting my phone.

I found out that the phone is rootable only with the F/W V.10B istalled. So i downgraded my phone & rooted it with Z4 root.

NOTE: PLEASE EXCUSE THE SIZE OF THIS THREAD AS THE ENTIRE PROCESS IS VERY LONG.

The process I followed:-

=>First of all, downloaded the firmware V.10B , available HERE:-http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/AINDBK/V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz

=>Then, I downloaded the KDZ F/W updater software from:-http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8651505&postcount=1 its also available at http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html

=>I was already having necessary drivers installed i my pc, but be sure to install them if you don't have them by installing LG PC SUITE 4 from your SD Card.

=>Then I Disabled the LGE Virtal Modem from my pc.(control panel/system properties/Hardware/Device manager/LGE Virtual Modem).

=>Also I uninstalled the ms visual c++ redistributable software from my computer, which, can interfere in the updating process and detached all other USB devices from my pc.

=>I then Unmounted my SD card from my phone(menu/settings/SD card & phone/Unmount SD Card) & removed it from my phone.

=>I enabled USB Debugging(Menu/settings/applications/Development/ USB Debugging.[THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT STEP]

=>Then i connected my phone to pc & installed the msxml.exe that was in the ''KDZ_FW_UPD_EN'' folder which I download & then opened KDZ_FW_UPD.exe form the same folder.

=>In that application I selected the V10B_00.kdz file which I downloaded & selected TYPE as 3GQCT & PHONE MODE as DIAG.

=> After that is did the last step and clicked the "Launch software update" button and the updating process was now underway.

After a few seconds, the screen of my phone turned yellow with emergency mode written in between. I left the phone as it is & after 4-5 mins. the phone switched. After waiting for awhile I Rebooted it manually. The phone started as usually with LG splash and after that it entered the android logo. It spent whole 2-3 mins. in that state, then it booted successfully. I confirmed the firmware change by going into the 'about phone' menu from settings, it was changed to 2.2 from 2.2.1!!!!!!!!! I was feeling afraid as the process could brick my phone, but fortunately i completed it without bricking.

Then lastly i installed Z4 root app (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953) in my phone & selected permanent root. After rebooting my phone was rooted.

I have described my experience in this thread. The readers too can follow the above steps if they wish to root their LG P500.

I have attached the log file that was created during the updating process.

"I would not be responsible for whatever happens to your phone":)
