[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
i posted the following suggestion and method of research in another thread regarding camera compression and searching thru the kernel source for the settings.

regarding the light sensor timing, i think a similar approach might be helpful. the best source for updated and properly compiling kernel source, in my opinion, https://github.com/toastcfh/htc-8660-kernel . i think most custom kernels on here are forked from his and then modified.

starting with the shooter_defconfig file, i'd search for references to sensors/light sensors and see which one is being included in our specific device. from there, i would grep the kernel source to see where the ifdef calls are at for the driver pieces and work out from there.

hope that makes sense and helps in the research! look forward to seeing anything you're able to put together!
[HTC EVO 3D] Mrdiaz09:
Thanks and yes that did make sense. Sorry about the delay hurricane Irene really hit me hard I finally got power back Wednesday and this has been the last thing on my list. I have found what I think to be a fix, however I'm testing right now to make sure I didn't Bork anything else. Should be out to public mid next week.
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
You can decompile the framework-res.apk and edit the arrays in res/values/array.xml.

Just have a look at my sig for the guide, how to do it.

Also interesting post from leedroid:

If you haven't yet tried kushdeck you should, so far it's the only one with crt that had smooth auto light, but you can also turn off the screen transitions in settings and keep crt, you can also use spare parts to have faster animations and again not lose crt.

Is there a way to unroot and get s-on back? I'm selling this phone and want to get back to its original state. I have clockwork recovery and I'm running the stock Rom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] klarson:
Did you use revolutionary or the xtc clip to obtain root?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] klarson:
I just did a simple search around the forum and came up with this. Follow these instructions. It will revert your phone back to stock gingerbread. :)

This would actually be best. This method will overwrite the revolutionary bootloader and fully revert it to stock with S-ON. You would need to have adb setup though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] the_tack:
I think you can actually just install the Gingerbread vivow RUU executable here and get it done quicker with less effort. That is what I did, and it updated the bootloader to stock.

Hello

I am trying to use fdisk to partition optimus' nand. I want to delete the last 2 partitions /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 and p8 and merge them into p8 but fdisk wont let me do it. It says "value is out of range" and gives me as default 511kb of space each logical partition by default.

If i delete all partitions till p5 and remake the extended partition everything can go ok but these include things i dont wont to touch

For your quick reference the o2x partitions.

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 = system partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 = cache partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 = misc partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 = unknown partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 = boot partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 = lgdrm partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 = recovery partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 = data partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 = internal SD partition

How can Solve this? Any ideas?
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:

Does some body knows how you can make goggle picture to become the default contact picture, even if sync of Facebook contacts is on?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darknites:
I did it on the pc with gmail and the facebook pics dont take over.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamDroid:
Thanks mate sounds interesting as last result

But still would be better if some body knows the way to keep Goggle as default even if you have chosen the pictures via the phone gallery or via internet but on the phone (like I use application called Contact photo).

May be there is an application that you can choose which “source” will be the default one.

Any one?

[Xperia Play General] alquistador:
Hello all:

I am using a unlockedexperia play on the bell hspa network in Canada. I have rooted the phone using the uk firmwear and the ginger break method. I was wondering if is possible to root the rogers firmwear?

Thanks
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
When i had rogers firmware 2.3.2 i was able to root it with gingerbreak
[Xperia Play General] alquistador:
do you know where i can get rogers 2.3.2 firmware for the flash tool?
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
The only Rogers ftf I've seen was for 2.3.3

Sent from my R800
[Xperia Play General] alquistador:
If i understand things correctly i need the 2.3.2 for root then update to 2.3.3. Would you know if I can root 2.3.3. Do i need to unlock my bootloader to install new roms?
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Why would you want the rogers firmware btw.... All the apps that rogers added is on the market to download. Rogers branded R800a starts up really slowly.
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
Google search wantanserver, download it and install r800a world generic 2.3.2 its rogers without the rogers crap. You can root it. Warning though there is no ota path on that firmware to 2.3.3 for that you have to use the pc companion and you will lose root.

If you want 2.3.3 with root the flash the 2.3.2 uk generic one, root then ota
[Xperia Play General] alquistador:
it doesn't matter where the firwae is from? I thought rogers would work better in canada instead of the UK brand
[Xperia Play General] dassub:
I'm going to agree with this here. The Rogers bloat was terrible, you won't notice a negative difference at all, and you'll likely be happy to have The Sims 3 instead of Madden.

[HTC Wildfire S] imlgl:
Mybackup pro can do it.
[HTC Wildfire S] CrazyAngel1990:
does not require root permissions?
[HTC Wildfire S] vctrdnl:
Without root access MyBackup Pro would backup only the .apk files (your installed apps).

With root it would backup your apps + their data (settings, etc.)
[HTC Wildfire S] CrazyAngel1990:
ok but saves only the apk app I have installed or related data of the application?
[HTC Wildfire S] imlgl:
It just saves the apk. It cant save the app data so if you restore your apps it will all be fresh.

[TUTORIAL] Changing the ERI Banner from "Verizon Wireless" to your own text!

UPDATE 8/27/2011 - An even easier way has been discovered. Apparently, eri.xml can be decompiled and dropped in /data, and it works just the same, however, you will loose the changes if you wipe data; that's the only drawback (which may make the extra couple minutes to do a hex edit, worth it if you are using this as an anti-theft deterrent). Thanks to @chevyowner for pointing this out.

This is the easy way. No recompiling needed, no zipping up files, nada. All you need is a computer, a hex editor (don't worry, this is super easy), and Metamorph from the Android Market.

Download the zip file attacted and extract it to your SD card, for us this is going to be the internal sd card, although I guess it doesn't matter, just easier this way.

Open up your hex editior, I use HxD, which is free.

Drag and drop eri.xml file provided in the attacted zip, into the editor

Scroll down to 01E0

OVERWRITE "Verizon Wireless" to anything you want.

Note: You are overwriting "Verizon Wireless", do not backspace. If what you want is less than 16 characters, then after your text, go over to the hex side and fill the rest in with zeros until you come to 02 02.

DO NOT

overwrite 02 02 with zeros!!!

Save. Then move the .bak file (if your hex editor created one), to the desktop, next apply the "theme" in Metamorph.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
I don't fully understand do you edit Eric file in downloaded zip or the stock one on your phone?
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
You don't need to edit anything from your phone directly. The provided zip file has the eri that you need to edit. Once your done, make sure the "ChangeERI" folder is in the AndroidThemes folder of your sdcard, then just fire up Metamorph.
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
Thanks 0vermind for all of your contributions. I can see rom developers using this for roms in the future.
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
I think you should post this kind of stuff in either development or themes & apps. It is more related and general is for basic questions :)

Ugh. I wish 2nd-init worked for Gingerbread on our phones. I want to try porting over Honeycomb 3.2.

[/offtopic]
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
It worked...very easy it just is confusing when you say to download to phone sd-card you do that after you download to computer desktop and do the edit, then the theme program looks for the xml file, so unzip-do edits-put folder unzipped on phone and point theme program to changeeri.xml and go just to clarify...works great thanks...
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Doesn't really matter which order for that step you can unzip to your hard drive or to you sd card.

Yeah im gonna try this later after I make a backup since the app says it had potential to mess something up. I might just be paranoid but I also couldn't get a straight answer of this being confirmed to work right on x2. Some people said yes and some said no lol. I know it might have been user error somehow but the app is so straightforward how could someone mess it up lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] aDigitalPhantom:
I think this should work but i don't use my x2 any more it just sits in its box.

but attached is eri.xml editable with notepad++ for example on widows

after editing all you shoud have to do is push it to /data and reboot
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
What part makes it confusing?
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Only works on stock, which is interesting. I wasn't aware of this method working at all, cause all I would ever get was "Roaming Indicator Off." Anyways. I'll update the OP. Unfortunately, if you happen to be using a rom other then something based on stock, or you wipe your data, it disappears, so it has it's drawbacks. Nice find though.
[Motorola Droid X2] wakkadojo:
Yep, this works on Eclipse v0.6. Thanks! I love it!
[Motorola Droid X2] Bloodykiller86:
u know...u dont have to hex edit =P...u can just use something like notepad++ and just replace the verizon wireless line with whatever u want and drop it in data.. =P
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Does it matter how many characters? Do you have to worry about going over/under 16 if under just replace with blank space.
[Motorola Droid X2] dkool1:
Has anybody tried to do this with any version of Eclipse 2.0.x? I tried, but was unsuccessful. The eri.xml file contains multiple "Verizon Wireless" entries. I modified all of them, then used metamorph and it says it could not find it.

Any help would be much appreciated. THANKS to all!!

[Motorola Photon 4G] pinch55:
I walked into a Sprint store at lunch today. I was just looking at the Photon and mentioned that BB had it for $99 plus trade in money for my Evo. They countered with $125 for my Evo so it would be $75 for the Photon. I said it is still cheaper at BB. So then they said even up trade plus a case for my Evo. So, I walked out of the store with a Photon and a case for no money. I didnt even bring my wallet with me. That was awesome! Just wanted to let everyone know that you still can get the Photon from a corporate store for gratis.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yogi3:
Do you like phone?
[Motorola Photon 4G] braxx:
I tried to get a corporate Sprint store to match the Bestbuy $99 deal. I also said I would buy a HD dock and Car Dock if the matched the Bestbuy price on the Photon.

The sales rep said they couldn't do it. I even brought a printout showing it was available just 3 miles down the road at Bestbuy for $99.

I asked to see a manager. He went and got the assistant manager and I asked him for the same deal as above. He also said he couldn't do it. I expalined that I am a Gold Premier Sprint customer with 5 lines on a business account. I've also been with Sprint over 12 years.

He said that it didn't matter. He couldn't do it.

I was amazed that a corporate Sprint store couldn't match a 3rd party retailer even after I said I would also buy an additional $130 worth of accessories.

I'm very disappointed. I ordered it from Bestbuy and I'm suppose to pick it up in the morning.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bienperezii:
People do not understand the difference between buying a phone from a corporate store and a third party store. The difference from buying a phone in an actual corporate store is the customer service that they get. Im a manager at a sprint store, its true that it might cost you more from buying it from us but you will definitely get your moneys worth. The customer service and the experience is pretty much what you are paying for... when you buy something at best buy or radio shack, you are just like buying from a retail store (luckys, walgreens, etc) when you buy something the cashiers just ring you out, just like at best buy, they just ring out the phone and give it to you, heres your phone have fun with it.. if you buy it from an actual store you're like buying it from like a bmw car dealer. You will be helped and get assisted by a consultant, we are the experts on these phones, we get trained hours of hours, we know the phones inside and out. Before you leave we make sure your emails are set up, we teach you how to make a call, send a txt msg, etc... we make sure before you leave you are an expert and you are using your phone to its full potential, we make sure you are getting your moneys worth. I have a customer who bought an evo 4g from radio shack, its been 3 months, she came to me and asked why her phone always dies so quick, 3 hours after she unplugs it, its already dead.. i ask where she got it and she said she got it at radio shack because it was free,i looked at her phone and her bluetooth is on, wifi is on, 4g is on..she didnt even know what the toggle widgets are for...worst part she ddnt even know about the android market...i helped her out and explained to her everything and all the cool features she can get, the end of the day, she was very happy and told me next time she gets a phone she will get it from me, she might pay a lil more but she will know how to use her phone fully so its worth the money

I'm not saying do not buy phones from best buys or radio shack, there are always pros and cons, for people like us here who already knows mostly everything about androids we might want to buy it there because were just searching for a better price...but for majority of people out there who doesnt know anything about these devices, its definetly worth buying it from a corporate store, they will get the customer service and the knowledge they will need to use these new devices. Its worth the extra money. Hope yall fellas understand why it cost more in a corporate, its the experience and the customer service that you are paying for
[Motorola Photon 4G] richmc73:
You obviously do not work in the corporate store in my area. Not sure they even know what customer service is. Lying to customers, now that they know how to do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nerorising:
You've clearly never been to the Sprint store in Jackson, MS!! They didn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. I had to educate four of the employees on their phone selection. What the differences were in the Photon and the Evo (aside from looks) and had to explain what rooting and unlocked bootloaders were. They seemed disinterested in helping anyone...even though I bought a total of 400$ worth of equipment from them, they acted like they could care less. I also had an appointment and waited about an hour to be serviced, meanwhile they serviced every walk-in that came in after me. My experience with Sprint "service" has been weak at best. I'd fully recommend going third party store....better deals, better treatment (at least at my local BB), and overall the only way I'm ever going to get my equipment anymore.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vaporguy:
SO here's a NOOB question for you guys. I have a sprint store with repair center near by that's actually owned by Imobile or something like that. Since this is owned by another company I'm assuming that this is NOT an actual corp store correct? I'm hoping I can get them to price match.

Also yeah... I don't shop anywhere for the customer service, because there is no such thing anymore unless you're buying a BMW or something along those lines, if I want to be informed about what I'm buying, I research it myself. It's all about scoring the best price.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HYDE1000:
Really, is that why I have to tell the Photon designated "expert" at my local store the features of this phone? The guy is nice as can be and I always go back to buy phones from him, but not because he knows the phones so well. I went in after 3 days of owning my Photon to buy a screen protector and I knew more about the features on the phone than he did. He doesn't even own the phone and the store made him the Photon Specialist.

Wrong again. The store set up email on my Evo 4G on launch day and haven't set up a phone since. I have bought another EVO 4G, Epic 4G, 2 Evo 3Ds and the Photon during that time and was never asked to set up my email.

Nice try though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sd7318:
On his defense, they are supposed to do that. Sadly like in all jobs you have lazy employees. For instance, at Best Buy, we are also supposed to set up everything and demo an app or a feature for you (unlike what he said) and good stores do it very well (like mine) yet stores poorly run probably don't.

Even still all it takes is one bad experience and all stores and employees are casted as idiots.. For the most part, it SHOULD be a walk out working experience IF the employee cares about his work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
I always buy my phones from the same corporate store. I had pro lens with my moment and 3 months after I bought it the manager switched me out for a EVO. The EVO was great, bought the new EVO 3d and 3 weeks out of my 30 days the same store switched me into a photon after a ton of problems with my 3d. First day I had the photon it started rebooting like crazy, the same store gave me another photon. I think if I had all these problems at best buy they would tell me to pack sand. Best buy wouldn't even repair a camera for me that bought the insurance on and was clearly broken.

Bottom line, sprint corporate store did everything they could to make sure I had a properly working phone and im a happy camper.
