[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awef:
All,

I have the following situation:

I have a laptop that has a wired internet connection and I have a Archos Gen 8 tablet. The laptop and Archos both have bluetooth. The laptop is running Windows 7 Ent. and the Archos is running the latest stock firmware (2.4.19 / Android 2.2)

What I want to do:

I want to connet my Archos to the BT of the laptop and then use the laptop's internet connection to access the internet.

Does anyone know a solution for this? Searching google only results in tethering a tablet to a mobile phone or tether a laptop to a mobile phone.

Regards,

Johan

If your laptop use wire internet why don't you just buy a router and use a wireless to connect you Archos. Don't have to looking for a hard work man... ;)

Another hand, you can access internet anytime without turn on you laptop.

Steven,

Thanks for the reply, but the problem is that I cannot plug in a wireless router in the places I want to use this solution (mainly at work).

Simple image swap

Simple image swap

If all you want to do is swap some images, all you need is a zip handling application (I recommend not using windows built in zip, it does not have the flexibility to properly do everything you need).

Select the apk file you want to modify and open it using a zip program

Inside the opened go to \res\drawable-hdpi\

You can extract all the images from that folder as a starting point

Modify the images you want

Copy the modified images back into the \res\drawable-hdpi\ folder in the apk file

A few things to watch for

Do not try to modify any file that ends in .9.png using this method. You are likely to create weird looking visuals on the phone

If you already know which files you want to copy over (let’s say you have a set of images that you are moving from one ROM to another) you don’t need to extract the images from the apk. Please note, however, that not all base versions use the same file names. Double check the filenames in the new apk before copying over your existing images.

Sense and AOSP roms sometimes use images from different locations (sense may use system-ui.apk for signal and AOSP may use framework-res for signal). If you try changing one place and it doesn’t work, try the other. Over time you will learn what sits where.

Different ROMS and different themes make changes to the xml files, telling the system which images to use. This means that copying files over may not be enough. This is mostly an issue with battery and battery charging, but other status bar animations can be affected. For example, if you start with a stock based rom that only uses 5 levels of battery indication you can copy over 100 images to show accurate progress, but on the phone you will still see only 5 (and probably the wrong 5). Similarly, charge animation can be 5 icons, 30 icons, or 100 icons. It can include the current battery level or not. Copying images from one type of animation to another will result in something that does not make sense on the phone. You have two options to solve this. You can take the full mod way and modify the xml, or you can try to run the framework through the kitchen and select a battery mod that has the behavior you want. After that you can modify the files.

Image loactions in Sense ROMS

Image locations for Sense roms

Framework-res:

1.	Progress bar information. Some is in xml files (just color definitions), but there is progressbar_indeterminate*.png that has the progress bar with diagonal lines

2.	Spinning processing indicator: spinner_black*.png and spinner_white*.png

3.	Most notifications (stat_notify_*.png) including the sync animation (stat_notify_sync*.png)

4.	Battery (stat_sys_battery*.png) and battery animation (stat_sys_battery_charge_anim*.png). There are also the stat_sys_battery_unknown.png and stat_sys_battery_charge_animfull.png (this one does not show up on sense)

System-ui:

1.	Signal related notifications (Bluetooth, wifi signal, network signals) in stat_sys_data_*.png. Note that connection type is usually named like stat_sys_data_connected_3g.png, but I’ve seen those with different naming conventions

2.	Alarm, location, and the “more” stat_notify_alarm.png, stat_notify_more.png, sym_gpsone*.png.

3.	GPS: stat_sys_gps_acquiring*.png, although gps on is usually in framework-res (stat_sys_gps_on.png)

Elsewhere:

1.	Email and Gmail notifications (in mail.apk and gmail.apk)

2.	USB connection (in pcsII.apk)

3.	Google voice (in gvoice.apk)

How to use the kitchen

Link: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/

The kitchen's XDA UOT page has all the information on how to get started. I will just give a quick introduction here specific to the TB roms.

When you go to to the web site you have several tabs. go through one at a time and select the modifications you want. The simplest example would be to change the stock battery of the ROM so I'll use that.

1. Select the tab of interest

2. Check the "use this mod" box and the options appear. You can choose the preview option, but don't have to.

3. Once you're done select the File upload tab.

4. In the section Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files check the "system files" radio button

5. Upload framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk (for sense ROMs). You will need to extract them from the ROM's installation file if you are on stock view or from the theme install file if you are using a theme. You can also get it from your phone (copy the files to the sdcard using root explorer and then to your computer, or use adb pull if you know how). twframework-res.apk is for Samsung phones only.

IMPORTANT: Some mods require SystemUI.apk and some require framework-res.apk. If you are not sure which one you need upload both. In any case ALWAYS upload com.htc.resources.apk for a sense ROM, without it the kitchen will fail to compile your mod (AOSP based roms don't have the com.htc.resources.apk)

6. Go to the summary page and select "submit work to kitchen"

7. Wait patiently for your files to be ready. It can take a while when the server is busy.

8. Install your modified files and enjoy
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tsachi:
Advanced modification: Add / Remove alarm notification

For this modification you will need to decompile SystemUI.apk (see above post).

Go to the SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy folder created by apk manager. Find StatusBarPolicy.smali

search for the text

There is a line before that that starts with .line and a line after that starts with

.line

. This is the section you need to change.

Note: The line numbers can vary from ROM to ROM. DO NOT change those two lines. Replace the entire content between them.

Show Alarm Clock:

Hide Alarm Clock:

Recompile the apk and install.

I am not sure where I have missed it but when I download the newest APK manager and open the zip there isn't a folder that says place apk here or anything like it in any part of the apk manager. Did I miss something in the instructions about this folder being somewhere else?

They will be in the directory you installed it to, so something like, c://ApkManager/

In terms of apk manager, it is a zip file that you extract, should not install anything else. I think you clicked on a wrong download somewhere. I updated the link to the new apk manager 5 thread, try from there.

Awesome write up!!! Just found this this morning while at work. I've been stubbing my toes all weekend through trial and error to accomplish what you've summed up here. Thank you so much! Subscribed for a more thorough read when I get home.

Hey my man, I'm trying to use the kitchen from my phone Inspire 4g..and when I try to upload files to kitchen I don't know where it looks for them at in my phone. It will open my upload folder but I can't find it on my phone anywhere? Dose anyone know what parent folder the upload folder is in...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tsachi:
First, I think it mentions somewhere on the site or on the kitchen XDA page that they are generally not compatible with phone browsers. Not sure what the compatibility issue is, but you may want to look it up. If you do get it to work from the phone you need a way to browse the system folders. If you can't see the /system/ when you browse for files I would suggest using root exlorer (paid) or file expert (free) to first copy the files over to the sdcard, and then go through the web site and grab them from the card. A lot of the basic explorers, especially those that weren't designed for rooted phones, don't have access to the /system/ so that may be your problem. The files are in /system/framework/ and in /system/apps

I'm having problems trying to get my ffc to work. When I try to switch it in the camera app it just closes. I can't get it to work with Skype or qik either.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
You caught me at a good time for this.

I just restored my primary backup from Clockworkmod, the one I made right after getting root and superuser access.

I tried again the camera, using the stock camera app, both front and rear facing and was able to take pictures without issue.

I switched to video mode and recorded video from both front and rear camera's as well without a problem.

I'm interested in learning more about the stock camera.apk and how it works, so tell me some more about your problem.

Did you S-OFF and root your device?

Have you removed any system apps that came pre-installed?

Have you downloaded any new apps from any marketplace, or sideloaded any onto the device?

Have you rebooted and tried again?

Have you had any other problems with your device?

Any other info you can think of that would help post it up here, and i'll see what I can find out for ya.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] vibey101:
I have s-off and rooted it. I flashed the deodexed rom in the development section. I removed almost all bloatware. This problem has been going on even before I used the s-off tool and rooted
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Given that information, it's possible that you could have a hardware problem. The fact that you say this was an issue before you did anything to the device suggests that.

I haven't messed with the deodexed rom yet, so i'm not sure what your file system looks like - might be possible that your camera.apk file was corrupted before you rooted it, maybe replacing it with a new copy is something worth looking into.

I'm not sure if the people not running the deodexed version could send you a proper camera.apk file now, any thoughts on this?
[LG Optimus 3D] daGUCCI:
I bought my o3d from gum mobile UK, after month and a half daily use, I'm worried if my phone is damaged or not, I have 3 batteries for phone now to survive day at work. When I listen music and use MSN, battery dies after 4 to 5 hours, recently started to happen weird stuff with 2g network, I used to use 2g only option to save battery but now my radio signal is 1 to 0 like week ago I had it all the time at 4. Phone is Simfree and I use o2. Yesterday my 2g network continuously swapped between e to g every min causing my phone staying without signal, so I had to use 3g to get atleast some network signal, its at 0 to 2 on 3g but also was at about 3 to 4 before.

My battery drains like 30 % per hour when playing dungeon defenders 2 and when I'm on standby its about 5 to 10% per hour, I changed LG home to go loader ex to fix Android system to use 60 % of battery but battery life still hasn't improved.

Anyone experience same issue and how good are gum mobile UK return faulty product policy ?

H.
[LG Optimus 3D] coolfi:
Seems about normal that, battery life is not that good then again most smart phones don't last much these days.

Since you had the phone for a while they might tell you to take it up with lg if you are having issues.

But I don't see it as faulty, though
[LG Optimus 3D] daGUCCI:
Today started to happen complete madness with phone, since I'm using 2g most is the time, today my sister couldn't call me neither I could call her back while with 2g network with 3g I could call and text her but when I also tried to call friend of mine who stood next to me, I couldn't because some weird error occur saying that connection was impossible to made. Has anyone experiencing samelately?

I'm on o2 and such weird stuff started to happen few days ago. Is there problem with phone or It's O2?
[LG Optimus 3D] tourjefferson:
Hey there,

I'm with O2 as well and my 3G is ALWAYS off and I've never had this problem.

I'm in London I dunno about you.

Perhaps your region isn't so go with 2G?

I mean I dunno for sure this but I have no probs here with my 3G off.

And the battery isn't the best of this phone, but you can do some stuff that might help to improve its life.

At work, where I have access to internet, I switch off the Wi-Fi from my phone and that has helped a lot!

Don't worry your phone shouldn't be a problem. Try to restart it to see if it helps or something.
[LG Optimus 3D] Alex Atkin UK:
As its only just started happening then give O2 a call, perhaps they have a problem in your area.

Even if they deny it I would be inclined to give it a week or so before worrying about it being a problem with the phone.

I also have doubts about 2G saving much battery power compared to 3G on the Optimus 3D, as it uses so much power idling anyway. I have tried my phone overnight in airline mode, 2G and 3G, it doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference unless you accidentally leave messenger running which really kills the battery.
[LG Optimus 3D] Jabbypants:
I not touched my O3D lately as I hate the battery life, picked up a Galaxy S2 last week and I can easily last 2 days on this phone and the choice of custom roms out is insane, take away the 3D side and it trumps the O3D in every department.
[LG Optimus 3D] Paran0idAndr0id:
I am absolutely fed up with this phone. Have the above isdues and more. I am so angered that I paid for this piece of junk a efin premium price on a contract and now I'm stuck with this phone.

In samsung land the recovery joined with the kernel, so flashing a stock rom with a stock kernel will remove CWM.

if it's not clear, you have to wipe data/cache and then flash the rom via Odin or Heimdall.

Laptops probably have better wireless antenas built in. It is after all a cellphone we are talking about. Just like your 2 core CPU is no match for a 2 core laptop/pc, same is probably true for WiFi.

There is a difference of wifi signal on CM JB roms VS ICS / Sense Roms. I tend to have a LOT better signal / performance with Sense roms.

And I'm not just talking about the signal strength bars, but speed, overal connectivity, stability, etc. Stock kicks ass, same goes to all ICS Sense roms (even ICS AOSP), but Jelly Bean roms I have signal degradation.

The new WiFi driver is all in the kernel, so you can just flash my 624MB kernel instead of the whole ROM.
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Hey Android-one-seven, I'm trying your latest 624 kernel right now (released on the thirty). I can honestly say there's a nice overall improvement related to wifi performance and signal strength. Although it's signal in some spots it's not as high as is on sense roms, it's pretty darn good.

What are the differences in the wifi module on ICS roms vs Jelly bean roms? Voltage? Slightly modified driver?

Anyway, you did it kid. Kudos to you. Don't you dare to give up school, bright future ahead - so not slow down! :D
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I ported a CAF (CodeAurora Forum) WiFi driver that's 7 months newer and significantly more advanced than our old WiFi driver :) This new CAF driver is the newest/most advanced WiFi driver out of any of the kernels for the Sensation, even more advanced than the WiFi driver in Sebastian's 3.4.10 kernel. The driver itself could be used on Sense ROMs for a decent boost as well.

The only problem with the driver at the moment is that we can't use encryption on our WiFi hotspot
