Progress is progress :D

I remember the AlwaysFlash app for my g1 that allowed the led to flash for notifications even when plugged in. Something like that would allow us to use regular apps that haven't been updated for the sidekick's odd led implementation.

Like a middleman layer. hmm. I emailed the people who made it (they also made vignette) to see if they have the source or something.

[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Can we get a rom or theme that has a Gingerbread status bar (bars/WiFi bars/battery icon etc.) and similarly themed drop down panel?

I see tons of roms but they're either tacky or stock. The theme in the theme/apps section doesn't work with the T-Mobile USA Sensation 4G stock rom and the dev is completely uninterested in fixing the issue nor does he want to outline that flashing it will get you a soft brick because of the quick settings mods.

So, I'm wondering if a dev is nice enough to take the time out to offer a theme or rom with a GB look that works with the T-Mobile USA rom for the Sensation 4G.

You should just have to flash a Sense ROM and then replace the battery & 3G/4G icons with the green stock gingerbread ones

Hi,

My Desire HD has this issue when I receive an MMS msg from a user with an iPhone.

I can a receive the mms fine but when I attempt to open the attachment, I get a blank page.

This only happens with mms msgs from iPhone. I'm able to open msgs from other phones just fine.

I'm running Android 2.3.3 with Android Revolution HD 5.1.7 ROM.

I've tried googling this problem & have found many other users with the same issue but no solution so far..

Anybody know of a solution? Should I try flashing to the latest version of Revolution HD?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiztedvvv:
The answer, my friend, is never buy an iPhone. I'm surprised they can send anything. :P

Jokes aside. I can't see how it matters what phone the mms is sent from. Whatever phone sends it, its data all compressed or whatever the same way. So. The problem may lie in the type of data being sent.

Have you tried to receive different types of data and maybe a few different photos?

I have experienced receiving mms problems myself. Only ever resolved when I changed rom hope this helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
I can only assume that, difficult as this may be to believe, the iphone MMS is in some kind of no standard format. My advice would be to suggest that your iphone owning mate either get an app that allows him to send them with a standard format (whatsapp would allow him to send them purely as data) or to buy a proper phone.

Does this work on ifused v2.0

sent from my Infused goodness
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ddot196:
Yea it does, it is what I am running it on. If you want to install it just follow these steps.

Make sure you back up your framework-res.apk, systemUI.apk, and twframework-res.apk. Just copy them to your computer, sd card, or whatever you choose. You can find these apk in system/framework folder and the other in system/app folder using root explorer or es explorer. This is just a safety precaution so that you have the original files. I have already installed two different uot kitchen zip files and not had any problems.

Put zip file onto your sd card.

Boot into recovery. (CWM)

Go to advanced- and clear dalvik cache (just in case).

Go back and choose install zip from sd card.

Let it run its course and then choose reboot after it installs.

[Xoom General] smith3jk:
Ok so I was trying to get the Hammerhead rom loaded and I did a stupid thing. I was rushing because I didnt realize you have to put the zip on the sdcard vs the external sdcard...anyways after factory reset and wipe cache I loaded the zip on the sd card and installed the rom. Welp there you have it, didn't do wipe cache and factory reset again so now I'm stuck on boot animation. I wish I had enough post to put this in Android development. Anyways, is there a way to load into clockwork again? Or should I take it back to staples? I'm within my 14 day return period I will just blame faulty device but I'd rather try to fix it first. Please help.

FIX: ADB recognized it so I id recovery.
[Xoom General] Big_Ted:
Next time

1: Allow boot animation to repeat for about 2-4 minutes (while it may not seam like things are working in the back ground, they are.. be patient).

2: Via ADB issue: adb devices (until the device shows - this is important!)

3: Via ADB issue: adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local (make sure this bootanimation.zip is a GOOD ONE!)

Now here's what happens - the device will loop one more time and eventually "resets" the loop. It appears the device then checks for the archive bootanimation.zip at /data/local (location of GOOD archive) before checking /system/media (location of BAD archive).

The boot sequence will then play out as normal. Cheers.

** DON'T forget to replace the bad bootanimation.zip from /system/media with a good one!! **

If you want a different animation just push it to /data/local as well as you just need to delete if you want to remove it
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Just to check...are you all set now?

It sounds like you installed the v4.0.0.4 of CWM recovery, which doesn't recognize the external sdcard. We need to use the version that was optimized for the Xoom--the Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979. If you try to flash from the internal "sdcard" it will seem to flash but it actually won't. You also cannot flash a.zip file through ADB (well you can but it will mess up the Xoom pretty badly), so I hope you didn't do anything rash and that you are all set. If not, let us know.
[Xoom General] smith3jk:
I got it to work guys I did adb devices and then reboot recovery and started over. Cleared data cleared cache and installed from SD card. Everything works fine now but I really appreciate the help!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] saltychino:
So I use nook to read magazines but they don't have Fortune yet. So I saw that Next Issue did have it.

Boy, I wish all my other mags were formatted the way Next Issue does it. Live links and video are embedded into articles to provide additional info as well as behind the scenes interview of the subject.

Plus, even though the magazine is specifically designed to be viewed in portrait mode, everything is readable without having to zoom because the text in each page is scrolling.

I'm not trying to advertise, I just hope if the word gets out the app will expand its titles and other magazines start to format their titles this way.

I'm in no way shape or form employed or paid by the Next Issue. I'm just surprised to find a great app in Samsung apps lol.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] Jerelie:
Im looking for a antiglare screen / antifinger print screen protector for my thunderbolt. i dont like a crystal clear one's cause it attracts to much fingerprints and when im outside its really hard to see my phone.

Im deciding from these. can anyone help me pick one i dont know what to pick since i dont have experience with any of these screen protectors. (The ones i have experience with SUCK there for im not buying them again) i have bad luck picking screen protectors ^-^

the following screen protectors are from amazon,since im still new to xda i cant post links, so search em up

#1 Halo Screen Protector Film Clear Matte (Anti-Glare) for HTC Thunderbolt (3-Pack) - Premium Japanese Screen Protectors

by Halo Screen Protectors

#2 SGP HTC Thunderbolt Screen Protector Steinheil Ultra Series [Ultra Fine]

Whats better between those 2? feel free to recommend me other screen protectors that i dont know about (thats antiglare and antifingerprint) :D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] arfore:
I use the Steinheil protector. I came to the Thunderbolt from the iPhone and really missed the PowerSupport screen protectors. After trying about a half-dozen different ones I found the Steinheil to be the best equivalent, IMHO.

[HTC EVO 3D] Ryoma Echizen:
After I tried to backup my data and it got to the "backing up system" stage of the nandroid backup, my the progress bar was empty, and didnt load anything for like 3 min. I tried to flash a rom after a 3 times wipe, and same thing, at the flashing progress bar didn't load anything at all. I pulled the battery since it hadnt loaded any progress, but now I bootloop. I can still access my recovery menu and fastboot, but just cant boot up correctly. Im afraid that my recovery wont work if i try to flash a different rom. Anyone having the same problem, or solutions to this problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
Get into fastboot. Run command "fastboot erase recovery" . Then go download the latest twrp.img , place this in your platform-tools folder or wherever fastboot is located. Then manually flash recovery "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" reboot the phone into bootloader then go to recovery. Go to wipe and do a data wipe. Then to the advanced menu and format the system partition. Then download preludedrew stock rooted rom , and try to flash that. You should be golden.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryoma Echizen:
Would that be this rom? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192670

so i should navigate in terminal (i prefer to use my mac if i can) to platform-tools and type in ./adb devices

./fastboot

./fastboot erase recovery

./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Then wipe data and system partition from the epic win recovery, and flash the rom from the link above?
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryoma Echizen:
Please confirm if that's correct, if not, please tell me where im wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryoma Echizen:
Yeah the problem (really my bad i gotta delete this thread) was that the progress wasnt really shown, the previous recoveries i had used had shown progress continuously, but on the evo i just waited the full normal time it would take to install the package, and then the install completed itself instantly (nearly instantly).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
Hi guys,

As you already know, Samsung started to release the new 2.3.4 firmware for SGS2.

First, should I use a XXKG2 Generic or Carrier branded firmware? I just want to make sure my service is not disrupted in any way. I like the idea not having all the extra garbage my carrier added as applications...

Second, I did a quick compatibility test with Odin and Microsoft drivers. Originally, I had issues with Kies drivers on my Win7 x64 box, so I had to reinstall Windows again in order to clean it nice. To properly install all Microsoft drivers (Windows Update), I powered down the phone first and connected the USB cable and powered back the phone in Download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power):

Then, I powered down again the phone and restarted the phone in normal mode. 4 new drivers were found and downloaded from Microsoft update:

Odin shows as being connected now:

Can you let me know what are the proper steps to update the firmware with Odin?

I would like to know also how I can backup the current firmware and settings.

Edit: I found my answers on the forums, it would not come with the search though. Thank you Google :)

I understand that the D2G does not support using a proxy server, So then why am I able to use Skype while not being able to use internet browser?

My laptop makes me sign in with proxy when using Skype, so why doesn't the Droid.

George
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Skype generally has a lot of quirks which help it bypass firewalls. It's a major PITA for the system administrators (believe me, I know).

Android (and D2G as a device using it) supports using a proxy server for its browser. You can configure one directly by altering the SQLite3 database, settings, or using some freely available apps @ the Market. Some even allow you to automatically switch configuration based on your GPS location or wifi network parameters.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mtma:
Hi,

After installing XXKPE firmware, I lost the 3G connection because Argentina uses 850MHz band, and this isnt supported by the modem of XXKPE version.

And I found that the flash with XXKPE has modified my /efs/nv_data.bin file and this hinders the authentication with the 3G network.

The steps I followed to fix my 3G connection:

1 - Retrieve 850Mhz frequency support, by re-flashing MODEM with I9003LUBKB1 firmware modem file

(find in samfirmware.com, unrar, and select modem.bin into PHONE odin field, nothing more)

2 - Retrieve the /efs/nv_data.bin from XXKPE previous backup.

(with any root file manager)

Notes:

File Nv_data.bin is unique for each phone, it would not try another. So I hope you have a backup.

Now I will compare the nv_data.bin files to find differences, to recover 3G connection without backup.

Regards...

Yeah, that'd be very helpful. Just re-read this a couple of times and finally understand what you meant, heh.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
I think he meant:

After having installed XXKPE

If u find that ur phone doesn't support the 850MHz band, do the following:

1) Make a backup (TB and Nandroid using CWM recovery).

2) Using Root explorer or a similar file explorer to navigate to the root of the phone's filesystem and find the "/efs" folder, and copy it onto your external SD (located at "/mnt/sdcard/external-sd"). This contains important info, such as the phone's IMEI, MAC IDs and also the NV DATA file. One should always make a backup of this folder regardless, esp. if planning on flashing custom ROMs.

3) Using ODIN, mount the appropriate modem file from the original firmware (the one posted in the OP) into the "Phone" column. Leave all others empty. Go to download mode on the phone, plug in the USB, wait for ODIN to find the device, and click start.

4) Restore the backup copy of the /efs folder to the same location using the file manager (the R/W option has to be selected before this replacement)

Correct me as you see fit OP!

READ CAREFULLY. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THIS IS AN ADVANCED PROCEDURE. NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, but then again so is replacing stock firmware.

I've tried just rolling back to the .bak version (without flashing the modem file) of the nv_*.bin file but it almost bricked my phone............luckly I made a copy of that folder before trying anything, just like U said (wise words my friend, wise words).

would rolling back to the factory default version help in any way?

Comparing NV_DATA.BIN

Regards,

I flashed my phone several times, I dont have a backup of the nv_data.bin file and the bak file didn´t work for restoring the 850 MHz band...

I'm wondering if someone had compared the nv_data.bin files (the original file of the stock rom, and the modified when flashing to xxkph), to see what were the bits that changed inside the file.

It's just an idea to help people who didn't take the backup, to recover the 850 Mhz band...

Thanks
