Make my Epic HEROic!

On another note: I blame you for the Epic not having #CM7. Yes, Im necroing old tweets, so?
[Epic 4G General] imakul8:
Exactly..enhancements and customizations from which I am still suffering withdrawal symptoms. :p The customization I miss most is you can add whatever shortcuts, wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc. across the top of the notification bar. Yes, we already have 5 preset, but you can add, subtract and order them how you want. When the screen is filled slide the icons to the left to add more. I don't know the max you can add, but I had like 10. On top of that, long press the shortcut and it takes you to the shortcuts settings. No need for extra widgets, etc. Its all there, convenient and stealth-like.

[Xperia Play General] chabbe11:
I'm sorry if this question has been discussed before.

Is it possible to download the Playstation games and put them on the SD card without buying them? And with that said, I don't want to know how BUT if it is possible. I know that it's possible with standard .apk files for Android, but I haven't seen or heard anything regarding the specially made Xperia Play games.
[Xperia Play General] m3dteam:
if you mean pirate them, then this forum is not for pirates, please go somewhere else.

but if you mean you wana play ps1 games that you already have, then try FPSE app.
[Xperia Play General] chabbe11:
yeah I mean piracy... Though I don't want to know how but if it's possible, that's something we can discuss here I assume
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Actually if you have bought the game and the content gets wiped, you can redownload it through the app. Man, if you mean piracy, you could be slightly more subtle about it. Everyone here pirates things or has pirated them, but we've agreed it's not civilised to talk about it here :D

I've tried wiping the Crash Bandicoot data folder, and copying it back from a previous back-up, but the app won't bite the hook and it will ask to download the whole file again. I guess it makes a hashcheck to test if your data is legit or not.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
No we cannot discuss the possibility here. Goodbye!
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
You would think someone with that many posts would know better.
[Xperia Play General] ammarcool12:
The app isn't available where I live so I'm forced to piracy so if anyone know a way plz pm me ;)
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
What I do is use an app call fpse and download game roms of games I have owned in the past. Currently re enjoying star ocean 2
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
No, you are never "forced to piracy". It is simply a matter of you don't talk about methods to perform piracy. You could attempt to do a mock location and do a tunneled wifi session to the US or Europe in attempt to pay for the application legitimately, but that is mostly a work-around. You are never _forced_ to use piracy as a method of obtaining services or software. (With the official caveat of blackmail or gun-to-the-head)
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
Basically, if you own the CD of the game. and you own the console, you could extract the BIOS and create an ISO of your legitimately owned CD copy of the game. Then you could play said game through FPSE legitimately. However, I would suppose that is generally not a discussion for here.
[Xperia Play General] enerp8:
I guess piracy is always possible, even if nobody tried before.

Anyone getting "error unable to connect " message? I'm running CM7, getting no connection.

Peace.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bskim23:
I think they made some change where you can't use Google accounts that have apps on it. I was getting the same thing, so I tired my junk gmail account and it worked, but I stopped using it because of this as I have one main account for everything on my comp/phone/tab. I wonder if this change was implemented in the last app update and if we find an older version, it would work again...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Working perfectly here on stock - no issues. Seems to be a CM7 issue.

Chrome2Phone still not sorted

I have been doing a lot of research on this Chrome 2 Phone problem.

This problem will hit all of us who root our phones and regularly update to the newest update.

Each time you change you ROM and install Chrome2Phone it adds an ID to your Google account to push the messages. When your account is filled you will get a message saying "unable to connect". Google are the only ones who can sort this problem out as they need to reset the counter on your account.

The workaround is to create another Google account (or if you have a secondary account) and associate Chrome2Phone with that account.:rolleyes:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
I read something in the internet that says Infuse processor is the same as the Captivate.

Samsung just overclocked it so they can still use the Captivate's Hummingbird 1ghz processor instead of throwing it out on the recycle bin? I just can't find the link again and will try to find it and update the link here.

Anyone can confirm?

What are your take on this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] antuus:
Not sure it really matters as long as the phone performs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kleeman7:
Chances are the underclocked the hummingbird. Its very common in mobile proccessors.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
from what I have seen samaung may have intended for this chip to run at 1.2 in the first place. I believe it is even the same part number.

it is very common for a manufacturer to release identical processors with a variety of clock speeds, cache ram, active cores, and other features. turning off features and releasing the chip as a lower model is a way to increase production. eg I have a 3 core processor in my pc but in bios I have overclocking options, when selected my chip becomes a quad core. this is because the processor is actually a quad core that the default settings turn off one core, my chip may have had one core that was sub par or it may be

perfectly good and been marketed as 3 core to fill in the demand for a cheaper processor.

this has been done with clock speeds and other features as well. and the snapdragons chips have 1.3 and 1.4 ghz versions but despite a differrnt part# are the same core. they have potential to go up to 1.7ghz or more. a few hummingbirds have potencial for 1.4-1.6.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twolostminds:
By now anyone who has an Android phone has heard about CarrierIQ, CIQ or IQAgent. Business Wire in London announced on June 8th:

For the few who may be scratching their heads wondering what CarrierIQ is...

Steve Topletz, a member of an international group of hackers, human rights workers, lawyers and artists that fights internet censorship and promotes the right to privacy has described it as follows:

Information on CarrierIQ can also be found in the ACS SFR Epic4G ROM discussion thread and a thread I started requesting information from Epic4G Dev's here.

References to CIQ have been found deeply embedded Epic4G

Provided by chris41g
to be effectively removed you only need to remove it from 4 files. it is referenced elsewhere scattered throughout... but the four main files are
DialerTabActivity.apk
ext.jar
framework.jar
services.jar

then in the kernels initramfs, you have to disable the service in the init.rc

Provided by mkasick
Here's all the files that reference "CIQ", "carrieriq", or "libiq" with instances unrelated to Carrier IQ removed:

/ (initramfs):
- init: /dev/ttyCIQ0 UART, presumably to communicate with radio.
- init.rc: Start iqmsd service if property:service.iq.active=1.
- lib/modules/dpram.ko: Implements ttyCIQ UARTs.

/system:
- app/DialerTabActivity.odex
- app/FactoryTest.odex
- bin/iqmsd
- framework/ext.odex
- framework/framework.odex
- framework/sec_feature.odex
- framework/services.odex
- lib/libiq_client.so
- lib/libiq_service.so

Of these, bin/iqmsd is a purpose-unknown daemon, and libiq_client.so & libiq_service.so the client & service native code. The client & service managed code is implemented in framework/ext.odex & framework/framework.odex respectively.

In addition, the following framework classes reference Carrier IQ in some fashion:

framework/ext.odex:
- org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector

framework.framework.odex:
- android.inputmethodservice.InputMethodService
- android.net.http.Request
- android.webkit.{BrowserFrame,CallbackProxy,LoadLis tener,WebViewCore}
- com.android.internal.telephony.SMSDispatcher

framework.services.odex:
- com.android.server.BatteryService
- com.android.server.WindowManagerService
- com.android.server.am.UsageStatsService

Finally, libiq_service.so is used exclusively by framework/framework.odex (com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient), and libiq_client.so is used by:
- bin/iqmsd
- framework/ext.odex (com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService)
- lib/libopencore_player.so

Makes you wonder what might be in the closed source.

The Android platform, like Linux, is based on openness. I am calling on all Android developers, programmers, hackers and users to band together as a community and come forward with any information you may have on CarrierIQ.

I am asking all those with the knowledge and resources to delve deeper into this issue to please do so and help spread the truth.

For anyone who wishes to contribute confidentially and anonymously please email:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twolostminds:
Below are some of the most recent statements made by Sprint in response to questions concerning CarrierIQ:

My questions were directed towards Sprint about CarrieriIQ and the Samsung Galaxy S Epic4G because that is my service and phone. I would love to hear from others on their experiences when questioning their carriers about CarrierIQ on Android phones.

I have contacted CarrierIQ, Inc., Google and Samsung Mobile US requesting comment on the above statements and other direct questions.

I have a quote from a telephone conversation with Samsung technical support that I am hoping to be able to release soon. After receiving the statement in response to a question about CarrierIQ I sought legal advice and was advised to give Samsung Mobile US's PR company, Edelman PR, the opportunity to comment on it prior to making it public.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twolostminds:
I received a response yesterday to my questions about the capabilities of CIQ from a group that has disassembled IQAgent & CarrierIQ.

Lets recap

IQAgent & CarrierIQ run as a backgroud service on boot.

CarrierIQ logging is set to OFF

CarrierIQ is collecting data and transmitting it on the fly without logging it.

The data CarrierIQ is collecting is basic metrics.

The surveillance capabilities of CarrierIQ can be activated through remote update running in the background at any time by Sprint.

hmmmmmm very interesting.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twolostminds:
I am actually quite surprised by the apathy of Android users and consumers in general when it comes to privacy and protecting their personal information.

In just a few months this software has gone from 90 Million installations to over 150 Million across multiple smartphones, feature phones, tablets, etc...

Your next phone will most likely have CarrierIQ or a similarly capable software installed on it unless we make our voices heard now.

Hi guys, I need help...

I update my Optimus One p500 with the leaked gingerbread rom following the russian guide... I chose the Erase EFS option and now the phone does not recognize my sim card.

I try nand restore and restore kdz, but the phone stay without recognize the sim card...

Can someone help me?...

Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
I had selected erase efs apps and i am ok. Another guy had also selected erase efs all. He lost his nv. But you might be having the nv file in the same folder. You will have to flash it via lg tool only. But i dont know how. Wait for somebody else to reply and also post in specific dev thread.

If you dont have nv file, only lg service can help you. Go there as noob.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
Rockvoid said in that thread:

"Erase EFS ALL" is a bad idea if you don´t flash back nv2-files afterwards...

follow the manual in the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmsmiCswC88&feature=player_embedded and do NOT use other settings or your phone will not work anymore...

--> is there any way to return gsm after Erase EFS ALL?

a) flash your nv2-file (it´s saved by LG-flash-program automatically - if you did not delete it afterwards !!!)

b) if you deleted your nv2-backup from your computer: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534704 (could work maybe)

c) go to lg service

nv2-file includes e.g. you IMEI or MAC-Adress..so your phone will not work whithout this !!!

!!! the nv2 file is not included in *.kdz !!! its phone-specific !!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Darang:

Hi everyone,

So I've seen this issue resurface many times in many different threads, most recently in the updating inspire thread. My requests are simple:

IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE FORUM, PLEASE USE THE SEARCH BUTTON BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION. IF THEN, YOU STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND, FEEL FREE TO ASK (AND MAKE SURE YOU MENTION THAT YOU TRIED).

IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO FLAME SOMEONE THAT DIDN'T SEARCH, BE POLITE. If you want to answer their question too, go ahead.

If someone doesn't answer their question but asks them to search first, please don't flame them either. It's absolutely useless to redo the debate that's been had many many times before. Some people prefer not to answer questions in these cases while others don't. Let's all live happily ever after and not get on each others' backs because we're all experienced and veteran users trying to help others out. There is no need to get testy or question why someone does or doesn't answer a question. To each their own.

Now, back to my ORD (obsessive rom-flashing disorder for you newbies)...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Agreed.

I try to be as polite as possible without compromising the message. Sometimes it's difficult not to come across like a jerk when all you have to communicate with is text and smilies.

I often start feeling bad, thinking I was too harsh, and end-up going back and trying to make amends, anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I never feel bad about it. :p

All cause this forum has a huge database of knowledge with an actual small amount of flaming.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
I try not to get to upset or flame to much. But sometimes I cant help it lol. I just had someone tell me not to be a douche when I gave them the answer and told him to search. He said theres 214 pages on this thread. I have to admit I lost it called him out and said my fair share of bad words lol. And told him exactly what i searched for and what page to find the answer on. There is no excuse for ignorance or stupidity in this age of google and forums. I have come to find more often then not its laziness and just wanting someone to give them the answer rather then find it out. I personally find that I learn more when I search and usually find even more useful info out. That's my 2 cents.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Johnn_ares:
There is now excuse to reading; almost any answer is already posted. when I first joined XDA I spent 2 days solid just reading. If one does half as much as I did, you end up with a good sense of how rooting, flashing, customizing the Inspire is done and also use the IRC chat rooms.

Guys don't let up! I never got hurt by anyone here, it only inspires to search, read, AND LEARN!!!

Holding someone's hand never encourages or lets them learn!

Glad you posted this,cause I missed your response. But dude,once in a while,someone could read over something easily. I shouldn't post this here,since this thread goes against flaming,but you were out of line. And by the way **** face,I unchecked the tell HTC box,it didn't work. But not being the newby you treated me like,I figured it out on my own. Your vision on someone not searching or being lazy,is outta this world ****ed up bro.

1: read,read......read!

2: read over all you read,again

3: do a couple searches

4: retry what you did that caused the problem

5: after all that fails,ask the question you need an answer too

I DID ALL OF THAT YOU ASS.

The reason search isn't as effective it could be is because there is so much duplicate content from noobs asking the same quetsions over and over.

[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
Its not about whether or not people should search, im sure alot do and alot dont. Problem is some the the questions they are asking might be answered to someone who already knows the answer. To the one asking the question it was only partially answered in the post they searched for, then u get these forum nazi's jumping all over them saying search search search, usually the one saying that says it for post count or just to have something to say period, because they dont have any answers.

If i know the answer, I will answer it if it wasnt already answered. There are plenty nice peeps on here that answer, and not half assed. What is clear to peeps that have a good understanding of what there doing to begin with, is not always clear to someone with little to no knowledge of modding there phones.

Thanks to everyone here that does have the patience to help all the noobs out. If everyone was a smartass about everything what good would the forums be.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
That's what all of this is about... Community moderation.. reminding people of the rules when mods aren't around to do it, which is a lot of the time.

But, as I'm finding out, it's not a very popular thing with a lot of people. I got accused of "acting like god of this forum," because I reminded someone, after that person had their question answered by another poster, to search a little better next time. It was one of the most commonly questions here.
