[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I'm one of those people who ends up getting the phone 3-6months after, sometimes development is more secured or the quality is better once the device has been in the open. If you get it right away it's not gonna offer a wide range of hacks and such.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AggNA:
True as it matures you have more option but at the cost of bragging right. I paid $750 USD for HD2-US (Leo1024) not the HD2-EU (Leo512) and got it like 4-5months before it came in USA. I was one of the only few folks in USA who had 4.3" screen and this was 9-10months before the Evo came out on Sprint. Same goes for MT4G got it like 2months before it was out on TMoUS at cost of $590. Keep in mind then it was the fastest single core device as Qualcomm 2GS proc with highest ram offering 768mb. This was before US-AT&T Inspire and after DHD-EU model as I refuse to go with inferior SamSUX device such as Nexsus S or another BS-SGS. The development for hack are usually OS dependent as its not device specific. But most of the tweaks are usually device specific due to the thread subsection its posted thus it reflects more based on that, I am sure you know what I am saying as I am already ready to go home.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrelephant:
Well I don't mind the smaller dev base here ... I have a handful of different devices, and there seems to be less drama here with the glacier! More development means more ppl arguing over who is better or you took this from me, blah blah blah...

Also, just cause its not posted on xda doesn't mean its not legit... Raft was bringing us ports when no one else wad really doing things for this phone! Just happens that he was ban from here for reasons I don't know...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akbisw:
Thanks for the link for Sense 3.5. I agree with every one of you. Also, I head that devs were able to access the primary bootloader like in HD2 completely gaining control of the hardware. Which would be cool. Think Wp7 on SGSII.

Although Microsoft would sue the heck out of it, so its a NOGO.

wait I FORGOT MEEGOOOOOOO on SGSII that would be EPIC!!

I don't really care how many roms there are or how often they get updated, as long as they're good. The quality of the roms seems top-notch for the MyTouch 4G.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dung8604:
I'm a little confused about what the problem is. Coming from an hd2, that forum is great and very alive, true. But what's the point of having four different takes on cm7? Or sense? Or sense 3.0? If that's what you mean, then I'll pass. Now if you're taking about a guy like tytung making kernels, figuring out a way to add aGPS support, etc then yeah he's great, but it took so long to do (not his fault though. That guy is a genius). Frankly, I'm happier with less selection of ROMS to choose from because overall, each mt4g rom rocks nearly every other "this is my take on cm7 I added colors" rom out there. The mt4g is 100% functional. Development has slowed because honestly, what more is there to do short of hardwiring another core into this phone? No disrespect intended for any dev.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
As some before me, I honestly prefer MT4G ROMs selection to the others.

Funny that HD2 comes up here. I was trying to find a decent fully functional ROM for HD2 and found nothing. The only fully functional Sense ROMs over there are Froyo - not a single Gingerbread Sense ROM that has hotspot/tethering or camcorder. Yes, I know, kernel source needed. But it isn't the question - look for how long we already have fully functional Sense 2.1 / 3.0, and they still don't! But there are at least 5-6, if not 10, different (half-functional) Sense 3.0 ROMs. Personally, I prefer quality over quantity.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killbynature:
Keep in mind that the other galaxy S were better than the vibrant I blame Tmobile for that failure. The original galaxy S was far superior to the USA versions. I for one of am going to samsung Galaxy 2 for tmobile when it arrives. I will miss htc but I can always try something new.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Bingo. Right on the spot there.

Plus it's HTC and supported by Zinx and Kmobs. Means we'll be amongst the first to receive ICS. I'll take that.

And as well as supported by the VU team as well. We'll be in good shape for quite some time. We have the hardware to be relevant for a long time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
Screw Sense period. I run MIUI and there is an updated Rom every Friday. If you call weekly updates slow then you will never be happy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
The crazy part is z3freak got it out just moments after I figured it out. I waited too long.

On the bright side, I do have HoneySense 8 Reboot edition waiting here. I broke WiFi and I wanna fix it before I send it out. Just not sure what use level files control WiFi :( (its a user level problem, not a kernel one).

Reboot edition is just Sense 2.1 with even more Honey, and sexy battery life (somehow manages to last 7 hours with 100 percent, followed by about 20 - 30 hours from 99 to 0 percent, and that's on the stock kernel.) Honeysense v9 will be the return of Sense 3.0.

I say we got about 18 months of strength before this phone dies. the problem is that this is more of a US only phone, while phones like the DHD are international.

This will probably be my final ROM... it's always awesome and always recieving support.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] leolawliet:
I've tried Gingerbread for a while, the only Froyo rom I tried was Bumblebee. Any suggestions?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] PetGhost:
Bumblebee is the best Froyo ROM, although Harmonia is close behind. Reborn ROM is an option as well, and has some nice features like the notification toggle widgets. I found myself hating the Launcher though, and had bad battery life.

Most likely, you'll end up right back with CM7 though. In my experience, once you go Gingerbread, you can't go back. I just miss the features of CM too much when I'm on Froyo, despite the amazing battery life.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] leolawliet:
Is there any possibility of getting Bumblebee to have custom notification Widgets like CM7 has? I love Bumblebee but it lacks customization. What are the highlights of Harmonia?
[General Questions and Answers] JoshRH:
I'll start off by saying this is not a question regarding which phone but more so about what buying an unlocked phone gives/ doesn't give you.

In the past 6 years I have spent time with almost every U.S. carrier, even some twice, and purchased over 30 phones but for whatever reason have never purchased an unlocked phone or used one from anothee carrier other than the one I am on.

I am currently considering an unlocked Sensation or GS2 and was wondering..

How do OTA updated work with unlocked phones?

What issues and options from AT&T do I lose with an unlocked phone?

I assume you have no warranty even through the manufacture?

Any other downsides to using an unlocked phone?

Where are the best places to buy?

GS2 Specific questions

Is it confirmed that the AT&T version will have NFC?

Any solid information on a release date?

Thanks for any help!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Warudakumi:
Haven't posted here in awhile but I've been watching the HP Touchpad forums lately. Anyhow

I managed to get one of the AT&T Developer Xperia Play R800a units awhile back and posted pictures etc. Lately I've been borrowing a r800x model from a friend and he's borrowing my R800a to use in the Philippines. I was curious and pulled off the battery cover and saw the nice plastic SIM cover..

I just bought a water damaged r800x (took a risk on e-bay should be here soon). Hopefully the board is still salvageable... the seller just mentioned the screen was shot.....

I've noticed the bootloader has been cracked for the r800x models and was wondering if anyone ever tried flashing a GSM generic firmware to a R800x?

I imagine it would brick the device if all else..but was curious.

From what i've been reading on various sources is that the R800x has both the CDMA/GSM Radios however the GSM Side is more likely disabled in the firmware. I know it probably takes more than just flashing a GSM variants firmware to enable GSM use but was wondering if anyone was attacking or attempting on a solution to enable GSM.

In the Verizon forums, verizon workers are claiming the phone does not have a sim slot :rolleyes: but a member basically shut them up by pulling the glued tab however there was no other posts. Seems like a pretty useless phone if you are traveling abroad... there has to be a way to enable this!

I own a Verizon Blackberry Storm 1 and it has a simcard slot that works when it's unlocked. I also got it flashed for Metro PCS and it was funny using a ESN off a old Motorola Razor and paying a dumb phone monthly price.

Thoughts suggestions? When I get the water damaged phone in the mail, i'll be happy to donate for DEV use. I repair cell phones and will have the phone in a workable state if the water damage is not beyond repair.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
It has been tried, and did indeed brick the phone...It has a sim slot, but it is apparently not connected...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Warudakumi:
Thanks for posting! When you say not connected... do you mean hardware wise? I have yet to see the inside of the phone other than FCC pictures and don't want to tear open my friends R800x. Now you got me scared like it's missing something hardware wise internally :eek:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
I was the one that took the brick...

The thought is that it's firmware locked, although it could just very well be unsoldered just the same.

And for the record, the generic firmware will work just fine on the phone. There is just intermittent data and calling issues since all the CDMA stuff has been removed.

The brick occurred when the TA partition in the nand memory was flashed with a gsm build. That's a lot deeper than replacing just the /system files like the generic build does.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Warudakumi:
Good info. Hmm...well that sucks! Now I really can't wait till I get the phone to tear it apart. Unsoldered? Hmm yeah that could be a possibility as well since i hear people sticking SIMS into the phone but it won't detect it. If I remember correctly I think my Verizon Blackberry would still detect a SIM inserted even when it wasn't unlocked. It just wouldn't logon to a GSM network.

I'll check to see how the R800a and R800x boards differ with their sim slots. If it's indeed unsoldered it will be obvious by looking.

Does anyone know if there is a hidden system menu on the Xperia Play like how some Galaxy Devices have to enable different radio frequencies, gsm/cdma etc? My thinking..if there is such a menu Verizon and Sony won't say anything about it.

:confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] yifanlu:
There is no support in the kernel and I doubt even in the hardware. IF (and this is the best case) the baseband supports GSM, it is disabled via firmware (not the kernel driver, but the hardware firmware). A good way to test if the SIM card is hooked up is to use a multimeter and measure the voltage through the pins in the sim slot. This of course required opening up the phone partially.
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Hidden Systems Menus

The only two hidden systems menus i've found are as follows:

Open your dialer, enter:

*#*#4636#*#*

This one has Phone info, Battery info, Usage States and Wifi info.

*#*#7378423#*#*

Has Service Info, Service settings (empty on my phone), and Service Tests.

Is this what you were looking for?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
AFAIK, R800x has CDMA radio so GSM can't be enabled.
[Xperia Play Android Development] brenobf:
multimeter

nothing yet?

will it really be possible?

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/02/cdma-xperia-play-visits-fcc-promptly-gets-dissected/

I think using a multimeter in the sim slot would be the best way to answer it!

Could anyone try it?
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
I thought the CPU in the R800x could only do CDMA so GSM is impossible :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] JelloFreak:
Did you ever get the phone to take apart and check?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Bump......

Any update on this? Its been almost 2 months so I doubt it. But still like to know. Would love to activate the sim card slot on my R800x.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypercaine:
Ok, I wanted to ask you this question that was probably asked a million times before...The thing is, I already changed my radio, and, that's what nearly ruined my phone, and made me take it to the store where I bought it for warranty. My motherboard was replaced. Currently, I'm using coolexe's Bliss Sense 3.5 rom, and he stated as a developer that it is recomended, that us users use the latest radio image. Now, since my motherboard was replaced, and the phone came with FroYo radio version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, I am currently using that version, and the rom seems to be working fine. I'm just curios, will I actually gain anything from a new radio in means of stability, battery life and stuff like that, or should I just not risk anything, and stick to this old radio version.

Hope someone answers me, or if you have to lock the thread, point me to an other thread where I can ask the same quesition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
If you have no issues with signal reception or WIFI/BT then you don't need to upgrade radio.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypercaine:
Signal is ok most of the time. Wifi and Bluetooth work ok too. I guess that means I should stick to the original FroYo radio. Thanks ;)

3. use USB port from the back of your PC. front one sometimes it fail (happened to me several times))

4. check if you have "usb debugging" tick in "application - development"

could be one of these above situation....

Do you mean like this:

Or this:

For the first one, pull the framework-res.apk and Settings.apk from your ROM and put them in your apktool folder

In cmd type

apktool if framework-res.apk

apktool d Settings.apk

You'll see the images you can replace. There's "ic_settings_phone", "ic_settings_privacy" etc

For the second picture I believe those images are in framework-res.apk

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ownhere:
WARN: For developer only.

attachment is the EXPANDSD script.

Why use it?

So many applications use /sdcard for mass data storage(gameloft, navigation...),

but I9100's internal_sd size is limit to 11G, so we need external_sd's space.

But these applications dosen't know how to use external_sd, old method is hack the apk for external_sd, but this will change apk's signature, and need smali/baksmali to work. My method work in system level, don't need change any apk file.

How to use:

1.make expandsd.ownhere dirctory in external_sd root directory.

2.move internal_sd's directory(for example:/gameloft) to expandsd.ownhere

3.run init_expandsd.sh

Theory：

use 'mount --bind' feature, bind external_sd's dir to internal_sd.

Because the sd card using fat32 partition format, the 'ln -s' command does not work, so the "mount --bind" is the only way to dynamically change the directory content.
