This might be a long shot but try toggling airplane mode on, reboot the phone and once fully booted toggle airplane mode off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
This issue has nothing to do with the Rom you flashed, (not VillainRom anyway) it seems in all your flashing you may have messed up your EFS partition, some people got it back when they flashed a stock ROM, if you don't, you may need to get in contact with Odia, he can assist you with getting your IMEI back

Big up to xda community especially the devs:D

I am one of the unlucky ones with a locked bootloader :( (turned off, held search button plugged in usb no blue light)

my one was sim locked on Orange UK

since i have sim unlocked it, rooted and OTA update to 4.0.A.2.368

but i really want to overclock it.

i read another thread about r800x bootloader being cracked http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197890

but want sure if its a 100% success

is there anyway to unlock r800i bootloader? or another method of overclocking cpu?

thanx
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You can unlock your bootloader, but you have to pay :p

how much?

how to?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Colombiano:
There is no need to pay. Simply use this guide to unlock your bootloader for free.

I have an R800i and did it myself. Just make certain that you install Gordon's Gate drivers on your PC otherwise you'll be left with a phone you can not reflash afterwards.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomtngz:
what using Omnius for SE v0.23 ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerojay:
That only works for phones which are not sim locked (subsidized) by a carrier. For all those that do have sim locked phones, such as myself, you do indeed need to pay to get it unlocked by someone that has the tools to do so remotely. You can find someone in the General forum that can do it for you.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blagus:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
How can I get the stock splash screen back? I flashed trinity kernel and it shows the google and the unlocked lock and then shows trinity's weird looking image and then my boot animation.

Is there a flashable or something i can do to get it back?

I've searched here and google and came up with nothing..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jungbum:
If you have Root Explorer app or other file management, set to Mount R/O (if applicable), copy the attachment to system/media/ (which will probably ask you to overwrite the current bootanimation.zip), and reboot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
So this will give me a stock splash screen and boot animation?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilay_abc:
you can also check theme section for other cool boot animations too
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
This will give you the stock boot animation. The only way to change the splash screen logo is to compile the kernel from source.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jungbum:
You cannot change Trinity's der kernel logo unless you compile the kernel with a logo of your preference (boot.img). However, you can change the bootanimation (Trinity with green Earth logo) to a stock splashing logo.

Unfortunately, you would have to use different kernel (e.g. Netarchy, Matr1x, or Lucid) if you would like to not have Trinity der Kernel logo. But you can still change the boot animation.

Hey, Trinity is a great kernel though :D

That's what I did. I use CM7.1 bootanimation with CM7.1 Nightly ROM and Trinity kernel

I have tried the "Factory data reset" option in the "sd card and phone storage" menu 3 times already. And It's not resetting the data. I just bought this one after selling my old one at the beginning of the year. I need to get the gmail account off of it so I can sync my gmail account. Is there another way to reset it without replacing the rom?

I knew how to load new roms on it the old way when it ran off of the SD card, now I have to learn the new way to replace this one I guess.

I held down the power button and looked around, there is a "reset" option in it. What happens when this "reset" option is selected? Does it reset the current ROM on it back to the default settings or does it prepare you to reset the phone back to a windows ROM?

none of them. it just erases the current rom, then you must flash it again from beginning.

[Android Software Development] tannerw_2010:
For whatever reason, when loading sounds via soundpool, I can get it to work but each sound only plays exactly two times, then it stops playing. I'm using a simple onClickListener so that whenever I hit a button, a sound is played (I am making a drum pad just for practice). Everything seems to run fine, I don't get any force closes or anything, but after I hit each sound twice, it won't play a third time. This is really frustrating me, and I have searched all over the internet and can't find any answers. I am using OGG files fwiw, cause I heard that they work best.

Here is my code

package com.tst.tanner;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.media.AudioManager;

import android.media.SoundPool;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.view.View;

public class sp extends Activity {

private SoundPool soundpsd, soundpbd;

private int soundID, sdsound;

boolean loaded = false;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

View view = findViewById(R.id.bBdrum);

soundpsd = new SoundPool(10, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);

soundID = soundpsd.load(this, R.raw.kickdrum1, 1);

view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

soundID= soundpsd.play(soundID, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1);

}

});

View sdv = findViewById(R.id.bSD);

// Set the hardware buttons to control the music

this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

// Load the sound

soundpbd = new SoundPool(10, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 1);

sdsound = soundpbd.load(sp.this, R.raw.sd, 1);

sdv.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

sdsound= soundpbd.play(sdsound, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1);

}

});

}

}
[Android Software Development] The_R:
Hey :)

You don't need a new SoundPool object to load different sound files. You can use the same SoundPool object to load multiple small sound files.

First you declare a SoundPool field for your class along with an AudioManager field

private SoundPool soundPool;

private AudioManager audioManager;

Then in the onCreate() method:

soundPool = new SoundPool(4, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);

audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

You could then make a loadSFX method like this:

public int loadSFX(int raw)

{

return soundPool.load(this,raw,1);

}

The load method returns an int which is kind of like an id for that sound file. You use this id to tell SoundPool to play that sound file. Make sure you keep a seperate int variable to store the ID of each individual sound file.

you could then make a method like below to play your sound file

public int playSFX(int sfxID, int loop, float rate)

{

float v = (float) audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC) / (float) audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

return soundPool.play(sfxID, v, v, 1, loop, rate);

}

Note: the int returned by the play method is a streamID( it is NOT the same as your soundID), which you can use in case you want to stop/pause the sound effect while its still playing. Ideally sfx files are too short for you to want to stop and pause them, but if you do need this then you'd have to keep a seperate int for each stream.

What you are doing in your code is:

storing the int returned from the soundPool.load in an int named "sdsound"

and you use this to play it like this

sdsound = soundPool.play(sdsound,...);

so basically you are overwriting the variable that is storing the soundID for your sound file with the streamID. Hence you have lost the ID for your sound file and you wont be able to play it again when you pass it to soundPool.play...

I use a very similar code to what i have shown above to play sound effects in my games. And it has worked well enough for me till now. Please let me know if this works for you.
[Android Software Development] tannerw_2010:
Thanks for the reply! I'll try to apply what you explained and I'll definitely keep you posted. I am very new to android programming and I think I am jumping ahead of myself trying to develop apps already, when I don't have a great understanding of even basic concepts. I'm going to try to re-learn java/android programming from the start and read this book from cover to cover so I have a clearer understanding of how everything works.

(http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Android-Zigurd-Mednieks/dp/1449389694/ref=pd_sim_b_1)

It's hard not to get excited and start developing an app you've thought about for a long time, but I am getting ahead of myself and it might cause a LOT more frustration in the long run ;) . Anyways, I'm very glad you responded and am confident your method will work, so I can already say thanks in advance :) .

Edit.

P.S. I was wondering if there is a better website to ask these questions? I asked the same question at stackoverflow but I didn't get an answer; I'm just wondering what the best place is. Thanks again
[Android Software Development] The_R:
Well Stack Overflow is actually a good place to ask questions. Maybe you just needed to wait more, I guess?

The first thing to do before asking on a public forum is check the online reference for the class you are having trouble with:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/SoundPool.html

Its also a good place to learn new stuff you did not think of using before.

If you have any other programming related quesiton you could just send me a PM. I'll do my best to explain it if I can.
[Android Software Development] tannerw_2010:
Thanks man!
[Android Software Development] tannerw_2010:
Well, after reading that, it makes no sense at all. I am just in over my head
[Android Software Development] The_R:
The codes not working for you?
[Android Software Development] The_R:
Did you try the code yet?

Edit:

Oops...Double post...
[Android Software Development] tannerw_2010:
Hmmm... So this is weird. What I decided to do, was take a look back at your code, and realized an obvious thing that you said. There is no need to have more than one sounPool variable(?). So, thats exactly what I did. Cut out the extra unneeded soundpool variable, and it works! It doesn't crash anymore. I'm not sure why, but I don't understand how your code works, yet I re-did m,y code, applying what you said, and it works all of the sudden. Here is my code if you are curious.

package com.tst.tanner;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.media.AudioManager;

import android.media.SoundPool;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.view.View;

public class sp extends Activity {

private SoundPool soundPool;

private int soundID, sdsound;

boolean loaded = false;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

View view = findViewById(R.id.bBdrum);

// Set the hardware buttons to control the music

this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

// Load the sound

soundPool = new SoundPool(10, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);

soundID = soundPool.load(this, R.raw.kickdrum1, 1);

view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

soundPool.play(soundID, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1);

}

});

View sdv = findViewById(R.id.bSD);

// Set the hardware buttons to control the music

this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

// Load the sound

sdsound = soundPool.load(sp.this, R.raw.sd, 1);

sdv.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

soundPool.play(sdsound, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1);

}

});

}

}
[Android Software Development] tannerw_2010:
Looking back to my first way of doing things :

soundID= soundpsd.play(soundID, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1);

,I don't know how I got any sound to play. I think I was trying to define the variable when it was already defined, which doesn't sound like anything would work.

All I did was delete the "sound ID=" part, and removed the portion where I loaded up soundPool twice. And wahla!

Thanks a lot!
[Android Software Development] The_R:
I had already pointed this mistake of yours. You weren't redefining a variable, you were only overwriting it with a value you weren't supposed to.

Anyways its great that you got it to work :)

Edit:

When I said you only need one SoundPool, I did not mean it as a reason for your code not working, but was only pointing out that you were doing something unnecessary :P

Just grab the apk, make sure you are using a deodexed or odexed per the rom you are using. Then copy the apk to your system/app folder, then change permissions to match the other apps in the system folder then reboot. You should be good to go. Or if you are familiar with adb then do this:

adb remount

adb push Vending.apk /system/app

Once you do that you should be good to go.

[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
to help clarify, the rooting process is two steps, same as the EVO 4G.

1) unlock the write protection on the internal memory, otherwise known as bootloader unlock or s-off

2) add root access to the device (Superuser.apk or su binary, etc)

there are currently two methods to unlock the write protection on the internal memory of the EVO 3D.

1) revolutionary.io which works on all hboot versions except the most recent. they unlock the write protection on all partitions in all modes.

2) htc official bootloader unlock which unlocks the write protection on some of the partitions in some of the modes.

personally, i've done the revolutionary method as some of the members are the same as unrevoked and the other members are also very helpful and intelligent. i do trust their work and they released their method before HTC so i didn't really have a choice at the time!

hope that helps clarify!
