Doomlord

thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated.

How do I remove the notification from the task bar. I have tried to go in to 'About phone/Updates' but there is no option in that section to stop notification either

thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jean001luc:
Looks as if Doomlord maybe away as he normally responds very quickly

Does anyone else have any ideas? I have received a notification for firmware upgrade from SE but obvioulsy cant apply it as it will brick my phone

Has anyone else out there received the same and if so how did you get rid of the notification icon from the menu? It's sitting there and taking up space

thanks

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mattisekholm:
First i cleared the cache and data from update center. This i did within Root uninstaller app from mmarket. The icon disapeared. After that i froze update center with the same uninstaller app.i did backup first. It seams to be working fine.

What about .377 fw ?

Does the procedure and your kernel work or do we have to stay on an "outdated" fw ? :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kris010976:
i use the file that posted here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sakem:
Not by the OP, so contact directly "harrylwc"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DooMLoRD:
i was informed that .377 FW doesnt have many changes... also the kernel sources for that FW are not available...

one of the user/tester told me that the insecure kernel which i have posted here (.368) also works w/o any issue on .377

so u can still use that insecure kernel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sakem:
OK thx for quick reply ;)

@Doomlord

a stupid question. what exactly is lost with this procedure. I want to root phone, I need a app to set the proxy, but what I lose with rooting? I go through a proxy on the net, and in the factory rom there is no settings for the proxy and all apps which do that need root! I need my net but i'm concerd if i root what i lose?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kris010976:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ajzak:
is this thread dead???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DooMLoRD:
if u unlock bootloader then u loose DRM stuff...

if u root phone u will gain a LOT more than wht u loose...

though if u are VERY SECURITY conscious then u will need to rethink rooting and read more ant it...

this is stock FW... if u flash it then ur current ROM and data WILL BE WIPED...

dude its a firmware thread wht do u expect?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] r33p:

that works perfectly :)

Thank you so much for that.

Has this now reverted back to original settings? I have recently bought a wildfire s and looking at selling the Mini but want to revert it back to original version before selling it. That way whoever buys it wont have any issues if they upgrade the SW
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DooMLoRD:
yes but first u need to relock bootloader... check for the relevant thread...

relock bootloader then flash stock FTF

Hi to all! I wanted to root the phone, but when I started to download all the stuff, I found out that the link to Mini FW 4.0.A.2.368 insecure kernel is dead? Can anyone help me out?

And just to be shure, can I use this insecure kernel with this ROM - Generic Nordic ST15i (Mini) 4.0.1.A.0.283?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DooMLoRD:
oh crap... seems my server is gone down :(

yes u can still use it on .283 but after u finish rooting kindly flash back stock kernel.sin from .283
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wucinac:
You can use that kernel yust for root. When phon is rooted you have to flash original kernel.sin from stock fw.

Sent fom my Xperia Mini
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Flays:
Thanks everyone for the fast reply! I found the solution you described in other thread. I was't shure if this step was necesery for everyone.

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

kernel.sin you can extract from 4.0.1.A.0.283 ROM

I guess now I have to wait, to download the insecure kernel.

Thanks again.

Sense 3.5

I just tried with Sense 3.5 files (RCMix3d Bliss v1.3)

--> copied Idlescreen_Weather.apk and opened it with the M10 Tool.

--> ticked the "decode image" box

--> double clicked the "Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10"

--> decompiled it.

Can't "right click --> "show in explorer" anywhere in "editor tab".

I might do something wrong, dunno!! ;)

SEE ATTACHMENT!!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Rolando88:
You are amazing posting this i kust sales it to 1 themer and now you explained it al youre good mate!!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
Hmm yeah even i tried and im getting the same issue as you. No you are not doing anything wrong :)

I think the m10 tools arent able to fully decompile the sense 3.5 files properly yet, it needs a fix. The devs might release a fix soon, i hope :)

lol.. Thanks... Glad i could help :D
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
Added Stock Weather to the second post just in case anyone wants to switch back to stock. :)

NOTE: All those trying to use this tutorial with the official Sense 3.0 Build or the ported Sense 3.5 Build, it will not work. The m10 tools are unable to decode the images in the new m10 files. The developers of the m10 tools are aware of this and are still trying to find a solution.

Give them some time. :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ted77usa:
Hi,

I followed all the instructions and i'm using flashable zip. The background image changed to the one that i uploaded but there is no weather animation at all and keep changing from one background image to another background image.

The only think i didn't do is to set permission as RW-R--R. Any idea how to do it.

Also do i have to rename the blank _update.zip or just leave it alone.

Thanks in Adv......:)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] alirez_sos:
:D

how we can Customize sense 3.0 lock ring

for 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 ?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
Hmmmm... That's weird. Which ROM are you using??

Try going to the weather app and updating the weather. That might fix the problem.

If you have used the flashable zip then there is no need to change permissions. And yes you can rename the zip file to whatever you want. Even if you keep it the same it doesn't make a difference. :)

As said in post #10, the m10 tools are unable to decode the images in the newer m10 files in the newer bases. The devs of the m10 tools are aware of the problem and are working towards a solution. :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ted77usa:
I'm using virtuous unity v1.27 with orkorolev and amresh blue theme with leedroid kernel and leedroid daemon set.

Is 2.3.3 base matter in this case or shoud i update to unity v2.35 (2.3.4 base) first...?.....:)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
hmm..i dont think that would be a problem. The 2.3.3 base is fine. No need to upgrade. If im not wrong, the m10 tools do not decompile the images properly in the newer bases. (I dont know about unity v2.3.5)

Did you try updating the weather from the weather app? Have you changed anything else except for the weather png??

Try wiping dalvik cache from recovery.

Otherwise, if those dont work, upload your idlescreen_weather.apk and give me the background you want to put. Ill try and mod it for you :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ted77usa:
wiped dalvik cache....now work like a charm.....thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:

Hi,

this morning when i unpluged the charger from phone ....the background keep doing the samething like before....keep changing from one image to another image......:( but last night work just fine....any idea what cause it.....?

and when i get home i will send u the link and if u have time would you look at it....?

Thanks in ADV.....:)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
hmmm.. thats very strange. I have never got such a problem so im not sure whats the cause of it. Try clearing Sense data, that might fix it.

Otherwise upload your idlescreen_weather.apk and the wallpaper you want and ill try it for you. :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ted77usa:
thank you so much for helping me....:) the first zip files is the one i made...:(

the original weather wallpapper have three different image...like morning...afternoon....and night.....but do u think because i only changed 2 image that's y cause the image keep changing back and forth...?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Manneman32:
I´m a real noob when it comes to this... The title says Requests, can I make one?

For the Desire HD weather lockscreen (sense 3.0 Virtuous 2.37)... can someone please compile it with the enclosed background, the same one for all times of the day?

A flashable *.zip would be great!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
Nope thats not the reason. The files you have attached are jpg files and not png files and the dimensions are 360 by 640 and not 540 by 960.

Ill resize them and make a flashable zip for you. Just wanted to ask, which picture do you want as the evening? the one with the bridge or the one with the globe?

Yeah sure. Ill make it for you :)

Could you please upload your IdleScreen_Weather.apk from the /system/app folder?

Thanks :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Manneman32:
Here You go...

It would be nice to get a flashable Zip...
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
I've attached your flashable zip :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Manneman32:
Thanx, mate!

If I would like to restore I just replace the .apk in the zip-file You made, right?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
No problem. Yes you just have to replace the APK :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ted77usa:
hi,

Either one golden gate bridge or blue globe for the night and i can't change it later on right from ur files.....:D here's the original image file...thanks:) and i dunno why keep uploading the 360x640 size..but i have 540x960 png file.....:(
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
You can change it later if you want.

I've attached the zip. Try it.

If it doesnt fix your issue try clearing Sense data and wiping dalvik and cache.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] youp20:
And for sens 3.5? it will be very good!!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ted77usa:
thanks and i will let you know when i get home.....can't wait...:)

but i did clear data from sense 2 and htc sense 3 data also...?

Thanks....:)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ted77usa:
flashed ur zip file and nothing happen....:confused: but when i apply my zip it work for a night and the next morning the image keep coming back.....:confused: wipe dalvik, clear sense data.....i dunno maybe there something from my rom or kernel...? btw i'm using unity v1.27 rom with blue orkorolev and amresh addon with leedroid 3.2.0 bfs kernel...thank you so much with all ur time to help me...:)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
I doubt a ROM or kernel would affect this. Try mounting /system before flashing my zip.

I'm still confused on what the problem could be. Was the weather lockscreen working properly before with the stock pictures??

Btw have you tried clearing the data from the weather app??
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ted77usa:
try everything....clear weather data,wipe dalvik cache,clear sense data....:confused: and if doesn't work i falsh back to stock weather lockscreen from unity v1.27
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
Oh. I'm really sorry, I'm afraid i can't help you out with this problem :(

I can't seem to understand whats the reason behind the problem :confused:

Yes you will have to flash back to stock if it doesnt work.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ted77usa:
appreciated your help and i can live with stock weather lockscreen but would be nice with custom....hehe:D and i will update if somehow i fix this problem....thanks

is there anyway to improve this in the new kernel?

thanks

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] easycure1974:
Yes the dialer sucks :) Another kernel cant fix that, you need a new rom for such an new function to be enhanced. Or easier, install some other dialer. I installed Go Contacts EX instead - give it a try.

- app backup support (from data/app dir)

- instant button to make 2nd panel same with 1st panel

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsmile:
I've been running the latest CM7 nightlies for a while now and starting about a week ago, the vibrate function stopped working when I received text messages. I use Chomp SMS and I've changed the settings in there, in the standard messaging app, and in the general sounds category in settings. The phone still vibrates for everything else - games, alarms, phone calls, etc.

Any ideas? I'd rather not have to do a full reset.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Did you change the notification settings in the stock messaging app?

Messaging > menu > settings > notification settings > vibrate > "vibrate always"
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsmile:
Yes I did that. Any other ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Shot in the dark, are you using the notifications drop-down power widgets? I had an issue a while back that when I used those to adjust the volume/vib/silent toggle, it would turn off vibrate in the global settings when moving back and forth between "vibrate" and "all sounds on".

Just make sure that your global settings are correct and then dont change anything then test the notification with an incoming SMS.

Other than that I'm out of ideas.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsmile:
I tried changing the global settings again and in the process realized that it vibrates now when the phone is set to "silent" mode, but when I turn on the volume again the vibrate goes away. I set every single notification setting I could find to vibrate always so this is super confusing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Try setting up a notification power widget. And under 'widget buttons' scroll all the way down to 'sound modes' and select one of the options where the first one is "sound+vibrate". Toggle to this mode from the notification pull-down and see if that toggles it. (I personally use 'Sound+Vib/Vib/Silent').

I found that the stock settings and CMsettings often mess eachother up.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsmile:
I ended up flashing back to a backup from 2 weeks ago - it was worth the time because the vibrate settings are completely back to normal. Thanks for the help, though, I'll keep it in mind for future reference in case this happens again.
