Dear Samuel,

I really like the idea that u have opened a thread for ppl to ask anything they want abt android!!

I am trying to theme a facebook apk (version 1.6.4) to have a black theme. I am running a motorola milestone xt720 with wanhu steelblue optimized. in that ROM, they have a black thmemed facebook apk which is system apk so icant update it. i wanted the latest facebook features so i downloaded the lastest facebook apk and upacked it via apk tools and i modified the drawable images and replaed them with images from the facebook in the ROM. I repackaged it and tries to install but error appears: "Application Not Installed". I searched the net and they said that i have to sign the apk. I downloaded Apksigner 0.4 and tried to sign apk but they said Error: Registry key 'Software\Javasoft\Java Runtime Environment'\CurrentVersion' has value '1.6' but '1.7' is required.

Error: could not find java.dll

Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment

Could you please tell me if what i have done so fa is correct? if so, can u tell me how to solve these errors? i would really appreciate it! Thank you for your time!

**Edit: ok nvm i managed to sign the apk after a long time of trying (had to change environment variables path) but now the app force closes every time i open it. what do else do i need to edit?? This is the first time i am editing something in android myself so I really hope u can help me!! thank you for your time!!

How to yaffs rom? I tried with mkyaffs2image and after flashing I can't boot. Do I have to try with 128 version(this was 64)? I have Folio 100.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ii Candor ii:
Whether your SSID is set to broadcast or not doesn't matter to a hacker. If the network is available it can be seen by hacker tools. So "hiding" is only keeping it from unknowing neighbors who have no hacking knowledge in the first place.

I would just set it to broadcast the SSID and call it good.

Flashing other baseband on rooted SGSII

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this wonderful initiative. If there is a heaven, you're going to it.

My question: I have a rooted samsung galaxy s2 but I need to get it to read 1700/2100 baseband frequencies so that it can work with my carrier (Videotron in Canada). Can you please shed some light on how I can do this?

Thank-you in advance!

Ariel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samuel2706:
Well it depends if your phone can support those basebands also if you can get them on it, have you looked in the forums? anything said in there, i'm thinking and don't quote me on this but im thinking maybe try odin the version you need for it to work?

good luck broski :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ariel_D:
Hey thanks for the quick reply! Sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about haha. The guy I bought the phone from said it was the version with AWS. The info says it's running baseband version I9100MUGKG2, kernel version 2.6.35.7-Jeffrey_SpeedFrey_2.2.0-uVx3-root_@Revision-b2 #19 and the build number is GINGERBREAD.UGKG2... How do I odin the version I need?

Viewquest tablet - broken

Hi,

I purchased a Viewquest Android tablet but after the first few weeks it stopped working and wont get beyond showing the green robot on start up. It wont even come up as mass storage on PC.

I have contacted Viewquest directly but they were not much help. I realise it’s a cheap tablet running 1.6 if I remember rightly but all the same it would be handy if it worked.

Is there any software out there that will help get this working?

Be very handy as my son could use it to do some homework on, hes only 10 so would be more than sufficient for internet use.

Thanks again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jon2555:
What you did before it stopped working? You can find some forums for that tablet.

Well since you insist :p

I'm trying to learn about the updater-script used by CWM and I have searched the forums but I think I'm missing something... in the CWM flashable ROMS I've downloaded there's an "update-binary" file... where should I get it? (I could get it from one of the ROMS but I don't know if that's valid). Also, does every updater-script need to be generated manually or is there an android tool for it?

Thanks for your time!!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samuel2706:
First question yes it's needed for android to flash ;) not just fore CWM but in general for android

Second question you caught me out there, i always used the kitchen to do it, will have to research it and find out. im guessing it'll be in SDK if it was never seen anything like it though so probably a lost cause there, but you can (if you know what your doing) make a script from scratch i recommend notepad ++
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samuel2706:

Dont play with fastboot unless you know it will work

I get a message 'upgrade system activated' then 'no image found' and it restarts!. There is no recovery menu and I cannot do a factory reset by deleting user data.

Please help me .. I am a first time android user. Have I ruined my tablet for good?. I have attached the tablet specs it would also help if you point me to the right forum

I currently have a Android installed on the NAND via CWM_Recovery. How can I do the following?

(1). I want to restore a backed up rom via CWM_Recovery, however, I want to reformat my sd card (just fat 32 partition, no second partition) before I do so. How can I ensure that my card will still be recognized after FAT 32 reformat?

(2). If I need to replace my current sd card, for example, goin from 8gb to 16gb, can I simply turn off my phone, remove the card, copy my files over to the new card, and insert the new card?

Apparently keen to show off my complete and utter noobery, I ended up posting my problem as a separate thread before reading this one. *facepalm*

Anyway, here's my problem (aside from apparently being unable to read)

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1251820)

"Hi, rooted my u8150 last night, no problems (except for my antivirus, which wouldn't let it download). Had some issues with backup, but managed to do that through recovery mode using pre-kitchen and by pressing VOLUP + GREEN. Flashed a new ROM after using recovery mode to wipe everything on the phone (or so I thought). Restarted to check how it was going, and found my phone reset to factory default!

Well, not exactly.

Turns out the WiFi displays "error" every time I try turn it on.

Because of the wiping, the only app available that isn't stock is superuser.

Recovery doesn't seem to be possible, as when I try nand restore on recovery mode it comes up with the message "error run nandroid-mobile restore via adb"

Well, seems this is at least a double whammy with problems. I've probably missed something simple, feeling pretty noob right now.

At least I haven't bricked it, mobile coverage still works.

Feel so stupid..."

But yeah, haven't found an acceptable fix for either of these problems after a near all-nighter looking. Unless I herped the derp again, and didn't see it.

Any help would be appreciated, even if the best way would be to go straight to a custom ROM.

Dear Sam,

How do I reverse-engineer an apps code? I mean, is it possible to introduce major changes thru .smali files that one gets from a decompiled apk? I have an app (no source unfortunately) and I would like to make it run as a foreground process, and I need to make it create an ongoing notification. Is that possible without compiling the apk from source? And where do I start? android.app.NotificationManager seems to be a proper beginning, but I want to make sure. I know nearly nothing about app development, but I'm willing to learn, and try to make it work, no matter how much time it will cost me.

All your help will be highly appreciated.
