[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingvinen:
Can someone please explain what just happended, thanks!

I bought a new Wifi only, 32G xoom from the US and had it shipped to me here in Sweden. I booted it, configured timezone etc and went into the settings. Naturally it showed version 3.0.1. I also configurred a wifi ap and added my google account in order to install some apps from Market.

After a while I got a popup that the device had an update and needed a reboot. I did so and after a couple of minutes I was back online again. And now the version showed 3.1.

What make me puzzled is how the update was triggered OTA since I dont have any operator here in Sweden that push them via 3G. Does Motorola centrally push updates over Wifi? After all I have read about the difficulty to get the 3.1 upgrade, this was certainly good news, but very unexpected.

Can someone please explain, thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdtvpower:
Moto does not push the udate, but google does. It is an internet process and not depending on the way you access it. US devices received the update weeks ago.

Non us devices are still waiting as their updates have to come from Moto.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
US models get the update via wifi as soon as they hit the internet. Doesn't matter where they are. That is why I made sure to import an American version.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingvinen:
That was exactly what I suspected. Now I only need to find a EU language pack so that I can convert the tablet to Swedish. I assume that this will not void the US "branding" of the device (for future updates). Is that true?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
As it's a US Xoom you should be able to use the language pack from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1083612
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingvinen:
Yes I found that thread, but the given method require SD card support. My device does not recognize the 8GB card that I inserted. Arrgggghhhh.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
Ah, yeah you'd need to root in order to use that pack. Don't know of any other way though, sorry.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torespen:
I have the US wifi modell, I live in Norway, and has got at least norwegian keyboard layout... But You might want the whole UI to be swedish?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingvinen:
Yup, that was the intention. I now understand that I need to root, install cwm and then flash the langpack from recovery. But that's not all. The current kernel does not support external sd cards, so first I need to flash a kernel with sd support. A whole lot of work for getting Swedish menus. I think that I will simply wait and see.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliteone:
Honestly its not that time consuming to unlock and root. I bought my xoom a few weeks ago, and about a half hour after I took it out of the box it was running brd's Tiamat kernel and good to go. Just be sure to read everything about unlocking/rooting before you do. It's actually one of the easiest devices I've ever rooted.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingvinen:
Do you think that you can hand-hold me through the process? If so, I do have a US Wifi only device that has been automagically updated to 3.1 (by Google I guess).

I would like to end up with a 3.1, a Swedish interface and a working SD card slot. I dont really care about root on this one, unless its needed through the process. And I also want to have a device that can continue to recieve updates OTA (if possible). Is this to ask for too much ;) ?

So if you feel inclinded, can you help with a step by step guide? I am not a novice, but the Xoom is new to me. I have been playing with many different roms on my SGS for almost a year, so the concepts of rooting and CWM is far from new to me.

[Galaxy 3 General] anant.0097:
yeah ... jasux , pauri and all have started the porting work!.... but most probably it will come after marcellusbe's cyanogen port only!
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
Yep :) we are porting it ;) and if we get all working before cm7 we will most likely release it with froyo and later with GB, and yes it looks awesome :)
[Galaxy 3 General] alok1663:
Can we get some preview images
[Galaxy 3 General] anant.0097:
Now that is good news...... btw i read in thread that you guys are porting only some of the MIUI apps and theme and not the entire framework.... but the rom is based on AOSP...... so won't the samsung modified froyo be a problem for the base rom?
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
We are porting all MIUI frameworks ;) (.jar files and the theme) also the apps and thats it... But the thing is that MIUI get its looks from framework.jar files ;) and everything except firmware will be ported. lockscreen, launcher, apps, notification bar, theme, scripts these are the main things we are going to port :)

And if you want screenshots just google MIUI ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] anant.0097:
Excellent ...... all the best.... and count me as a tester if you need one that is!

Will be happy to help in anyway i can...... btw is there any other way that i can help?
[Galaxy 3 General] alok1663:
Jazux I am talking of screenshots of ur ported version..
[Galaxy 3 General] Vermillon:
Google it he said.

Porting is just make it suit for a different phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
absolutely true!!! thanks for that :)
[Galaxy 3 General] Darius_AWS:
So you won't make a MIUI'port base on gingerbread ?
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
it will be based on marcellusbes AOSP android 2.3 ;) (if he gives me the permission to use it)
[Galaxy 3 General] Vermillon:
I hope he'll allow that !

I'm looking forward to your rom !
[Galaxy 3 General] alok1663:
Got u now jazux.. ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
just got the permission to use marcellusbes AOSP 2.3 gingerbread as a base :)

Very nice

really like metro UI to be honest - microsoft have done a great job and once you get used to it its really good (easy to develop for too)

Regarding the rom I remember seeing something similar here on XDA some time ago

its not really a rom though is it - its a base mod that will only work with X amount of necessary widgets
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ishred11:
Let a project they have been work on but more so the apps than then Rom for now the Rom is only for the Samsung galaxy s. They are working on porting it to other devices.

If you get the app you can kind of get the same feel same the Rom.

Hey, I've noticed this in the marketplace especially but people have been ragging on the mods a lot more then what I usually see. While I am in no position to persuade people to do or change anything, I would just like to let the mods know that I really appreciate all the work they do.

Furthermore, especially to the developers, you guys are awesome. The "staff" here at xda are one of the best I have seen in a while, and while I can't contribute much to xda (yet), I do appreciate everything you guys are doing.

Guys,

Some tips regarding customizing start menu items are solved in this thread. Here you can find the links to them.

The problem in changing bluetooth icon when the link to it is moved from settings to connection menu is solved by AndrewSH :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14769622&postcount=32

Thanks everybody in helping hand!
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
Skyguar, if you're going to customize the ready rom - you should also modify HKLM/Security/Shell/StartInfo/Start to define the new folders and items of your future StartMenu. All shortcuts made by cplmain.cpl and other cpls should be redefined to MyCpl.cpl to enable custom position (like for example moving Bluetooth to Connections instead of Settings)....

But you should remember that any hardreset will destroy your customization - so better save your registry edits and custom png files into one cab.

If you're going to cook the new rom with your own custom StartMenu order - the story is a bit more sophisticated.

But normally - you should read this before ... :)
[Windows Mobile] Skyguar:
AndrewSh,

Thank you for the answer, yes that what I want - cook it:o. I know everything about already cooked rom and changing the registry, but I can't find the information on how to cook it :o
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:

[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
you could just create a .dll with your icons inside and then link your custom .lnk with the icon inside the .dll?

*if you want me to teach you how, just private message me, ill teach you how to do it this way.

eg inside the .lnk would be this:

#\windows\XXXX.exe ?\windows\XXXX.dll,-X

(-X is the number position of the icon inside the .dll)

or

change the icon inside the XXXX.exe (some .exe do not like their icons being changed, eg they stop working :D)

tbh it is a lot better than the way your trying to do it, it is a lot more "cleaner" to do it this way, you do not need to add registrys or clog up the windows folder with image after image when you can have one single .dll ;)

thanks

Well

Ohhh.. lots of information, only two problems left and I can't find the information...

Like AndrewSH mentioned, moving Bluetooth to Connections instead of Settings and hide Settings (I have two now :D) icon, which point to manila settings menu... :o.
[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Bluetooth]

"hide"=dword:00000001

not sure if this is what you will need but if you have two icons maybe you need to make one hide...

Rn
[Windows Mobile] Skyguar:
Hello raving_nanza,

This is a bit not what I needed. I need to move:

1) Bluetooth to Connections and

2) hide Settings icon, which point to manila settings menu..

Should I edit cpl files? Don't know any editor..
[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
np dude

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Bluetooth]

"group"=dword:00000002

*that will put bluetooth into connections

what do you meen = hide Settings icon, which point to manila settings menu..?

*if you go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\" you should see the one for manila settings.

*it might be listed under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\mycpl"

*if it is it will be listed as a number, for example "\mycpl\000"

*search all the strings inside and one should launch the manila settings

when you find it just add

"hide"=dword:00000001

and it should dissapear ;)

Rn
[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
btw i dont know how to edit .cpl files, i dont even know if there is an editor but you wont need to.

check in your windows folders if there is a .cpl file that launches the manila settings

[Windows Mobile] Skyguar:
Thanks mate very much, that registry trick helped, I will just have to cook in that registry key :D. Will try the same with the settings :D The problem is that I have two settings icons on start menu: one points to all settings (system, connections, personal). The other points to manila settings menu(that is by default) and that one I need to remove :o

Sorryzzz for my english, it is not native :o
[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
lol no problem dude :D

now i think i undersatnd what you meen about the settings now, correct me if i am wrong:

when you click the start menu and it drops down you have:

programs

settings

settings

and one of these is manila settings?

Yeh, this is what I was checking :D The settings.lnk is placed by ext module Settings Improvement :D. I edited the app.dat and now I am thinking that this should solve the problem. :D Will try to cook now. Thank dude for the great helping hand!

Now will have to read carefully your tutorial and decide which way I will add my icons. :cool:

no problem dude, happy to help!

via .dll is the best way dude, really easy to do too (the pr0 way ;))

Well guys,

I have a problem with the bluetooth icon and nothing helps. Desperately need your help... After moving an icon from settings to connection as raving_nanza adviced :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Bluetooth]

"group"=dword:00000002

I can't get my icon neither via registry nor via raving_nanza method (changing the icon with Reschaker in BTConfigCE.cpl) What ways could you suggest more to check? :o
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
Skyguar, situation with Bluetooth shortcut is a bit more complicated. First of all you should get rid of BTConfigCE.cpl :)

I will write you the detailed howto for BT in an hour - when I'm back to PC. Writing from Leo - sucks....
[Windows Mobile] Skyguar:
AndrewSh,

That would be great! Trying everything for two days without any luck... :o and this is the only one left..:D Your help is appreciated, mate!
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
So let's go:

1. Delete BTConfigCE.cpl

2. For example you like digit 100 (it can be any digit as I already told you - not occupied by other custom icons)

Create the following registry entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\MyCpl\100]

"Name"="Bluetooth"

"File"="\\Windows\\BTCplCE.exe"

"Description"="Bluetooth"

"Cmdline"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\100]

"Group"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Connections\MyCpl.cpl,100]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Bluetooth.png"

That's it :)

If you don't have BTCplCE.exe in your system - write "BTManager.exe" instead of "BTCplCE.exe" (or any executable that starts BT on your device)

P.S. For Sure - customizing your startmenu items and rearranging shortcuts you should modify original mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml - in case of Bluetooth you should delete lines:

<characteristic type="cplmain.cpl,23">

<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_Bluetooth.png" datatype="string" />

<parm name="Rank" value="1000" datatype="integer" />

</characteristic>

from it.
[Windows Mobile] Skyguar:
Thank You very much, trying to cook now my mate!

I deleted this file mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml at all... :o Should I leave it? No problems detected so far..
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
Actually it pre-defines startmenu structure and system icons via cplmain.cpl. I would not offer to delete it completely - modifying is better. But it's also possible to arrange everything through the registry files without provxml... So it's up to you....
[Windows Mobile] Skyguar:
Great, after some misunderstandings with my phone - working :D. Thank you very much, AndrewSH . Just had to make a little correction:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\MyCpl\100]

"File"="BTManager.exe" instead

"File"="\\Windows\\BTCplCE.exe"

"Cmdline"=""

"Description"="Bluetooth"

"Name"="Bluetooth"

I will put the tutorial on the first page..

Best Regards,

skyguar

for the other/old cpl links in settings, eg about, today etc etc

their icons are inside shellres.192.dll

your best off using:

reshacker to save the icons inside the .dll

use icofx to edit them

use reshacker to overwrite the old icons

ill put this in the first post of my tutorial with number locations of each icon inside shellres.192.dll ... might take a while but if people find it helpfull then its worth doing

Ok, tried again and it is not freezing any more but the start menu icons are all still there. Here is an exmaple of one of the icons!

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("Help.lnk","\Windows\help.lnk")

I assumed this puts it into the Programs fodler! Then to REM it out you would do the following:

;Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("Help.lnk","\Windows\help.lnk")

What do you mean by put a gap in it?
