[LG Optimus 3D] Fendria:
Hi,

I have an original Optimus 3D (also no root)...

At first the GPS works as expected, fast fix good localisation, but after a while (30secs or so) the icon in the status bar dissapears and I don't get any fix anymore...

Then I have to disable GPS and enable GPS again to get a fix again...

I allready tried to clear AGPS data but it didnt have any effect:(

can anyone help me?

Thanks

Edit: If I'm not able to get a signal (perhaps in an building) the symbol doesn't disappear so the problem is only when I get a fix...

If u can name the dev/porter name in the title of screenshot then I don't think it will be a problem from any of them, after all they do it for fun right.....?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] luckyankit:
I can't give any name on title since it totally ruins the beauty of gallery... i think you have not seen the gallery yet... when i asked on galaxy tab forum, no1 said me to give their names on title, but they generously said to use without any hesitation and even said to inform them when gallery is published.. & also if i start giving title name, then for what i am asking permission for?? Android is open source, and if your giving proper credit, you need not to take permission to publish anything. But since i don't want to write any name on screenshots for its beauty, that's why i started this thread to take permissions.... Hope everything is clear now!!

Hi a friend of mine took the time to adapt CWM recovery for the newly released Acer Iconia Smart. I'm sharing that with you as well as an easy tutorial to root your device.

I hope it will help some people.

It's not a one-click method but it remains quite easy if you carefully follow the steps. Just be careful and nothing wrong should happen (the operation is not risk free though).

What you need :

One Acer Iconia Smart :D

The drivers : http://www.multiupload.com/UT61X9OI2T

Files for the custom recovery and superuser : http://www.multiupload.com/JU2TTWP5YO)

I- Install the driver

Unless you have already done it.

II- Install a custom recovert menu

Plug your Iconia Smart to your PC.

Unpack the zip file containing the recovery and superuser.

Exexcute install_recovery.cmd and just follow the steps.

III- Prepare to root

Once your phone has rebooted copy the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file to your sdcard.

Switch off your phone

Switch it back on while pressing [vol+], [focus] and power. Keep pressing the buttons until you're in the recovery (yellow text on black screen)

(You get "focus" by half pressing the camera button.

IV- ROOT !

To navigate in the recovery menu use vol keys to go up and down, camera to validate and < to go back.

click on "install zip from sdcard"

then on "choose zip form sdcard"

select the file "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" that you just copied on your SDcard

validate and let it run.

Once done go back to the home screen using [<] and click on "reboot system now".

Your phone will reboot and you should have root. Just check if you see a superuser icon in the applications and try to use an app that require root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] se-tw:
In accordance with the above method finally acer smart s300 to root it!

Use is also very normal, very Thank!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FloatingFatMan:
Works perfectly, thanks! :)

Edit: Un oh.. Spoke too soon.. When I plug in USB to charge, the device is going into romdump mode...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paugustin:
@FloatingFatMan : have you finally found out the problem ? Tell us how it goes. Does anyone has the same issue ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FloatingFatMan:
Kind of. I think it was something to do with the USB cable as I tried another and it stopped dropping to romdump mode.

Still not 100% convinced though, as I was getting a lot of other weird stuff. Main one was that the stock launcher was constantly force closing. Ended up installing ADW Launcher EX and now the device is rock solid again.

The only other thing I didn't try was wiping to factory settings, though I did wipe the caches.

By the way, on the thread on Modaco they also mentioned "*#*#4225#*#*" to enable Full Screen for all apps (not only the ones programmed to use the full screen - possibly causing issues with apps that do not expect a big screen). Does anyone know where this code came from and whether there's more of these? :)

Hi all,

I have built CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8 (latest version on the CyanogenMod Repo), see attached. Didn't test much yet, but it does work. Had to make some minor changes to make the display look correct (see here is what helped me do that).

I am now looking for a newer repository, to add:

* Touch - there's supposed to be beta's but couldn't find a repository

* Internal SD - possibly just a change in one of the files, still investigating

Anyone more info?

:)

Regards,

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paugustin:
Very nice ! Thanks a lot. I'll try that and tell you if I get into any issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
Reboot system now = ok

Backup = ok

Restore = ok

Run zip from sdcard = ok

Power off = ok

Haven't tested much else so far...

And the backup / restore I've waited for a day to test, and so far no MD5 issue (ie. corrupt files - looks like sdcard storage is more stable now...)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paugustin:
Installation is OK, only tested reboot as my 16Gb SD card doesn't work in recovery... I'll test a backup/restore later.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
Quickly checked the sources and if you create a file called ".one_confirm" in /sdcard/clockworkmod it should ask for Yes / No only instead of multiple No's you need to scroll down :)

Hmmm... tested it quickly with "adb shell touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.one_confirm" but didn't seem to work... will build a new recovery soon... :D

Still also trying to figure out how to make a backup to the internal sdcard...

thanks alot my friend u r the only one on the world :) helped me on this device

when i unzipped the recovery file i didnt the file "" su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip "" or any other zip file ?????? but i find a file named s300-recovery and i its image file not zip >>>> and when i try to go to recovery mode it go to fastboot mode "" black screen with 3 coulors """

if i wanna to replace the housing or wanna another battery where i can find it ???????????

Hi, I try your new recovery It works well. Thanks dude :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
I am not sure what you are doing exactly. Please be more specific in the steps to take.

Here's some tips:

1. You are using the old version (S300-Recovery.img), please use S300-Recovery-5.0.2.8.zip. It also contains an img file (recovery.img) which is the same as the S300-recovery.img file in the other zip, but a newer version

2. Make sure you have installed the drivers, like mentioned in step I in the first post

3. After extracting the zip-file you need to run install_recovery.cmd. That will install the new S300 recovery, like mentioned in step II from the first post. It will give you the correct instructions when running the cmd, it will mention you go to the black screen with 3 colors and then you press a key to install the recovery

4. After installing the recovery (going through the steps mentioned in step II) you should install the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (link found in google) from the recovery. Please follow the steps in III and IV of the original post..

Good luck!

For housing and another battery, also use google. I even replaced my LCD touch by finding it on the internet. Simply search for stuff like "battery acer iconia smart" and such :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wild_saher010:
thanksssssssssssss

at last i did it thanks alot NIKA U r my best friend >>>>> i search for battery and i found it but i cant find the other parts cause i need to find full housing cover or the small part in the top of the device which had the wifi antena and dolby logo ??? pls help me in that
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
I don't think any of those spare-parts exist yet (remember it's a new device ;)). Searched for it too, because I broke mine when taking the device apart for replacing the touch screen. Same for the battery cover which holds the GSM antennas (reception is horrible since it's scratched a lot). In my case I bought the following case to keep it all together:

For a Acer Iconia Smart S300 forum. (The other Forum Request thread is closed).

It's probably a bit late, as this phone does not seem to be very popular, and time has passed it by, but it is a cool and innovative phone, and deserves it's own forum as much as any.

I have the 1.000.24 FW's from acer, but how can I install them without Windows?

I have Mac's and Linux, but no Windows PC's.

I am trying to manually pick apart the acer updates, and I think I have successfully picked out boot.img.

I think I also have found recovery.img and system.img

I also see fastboot.exe in there, so all their installer is really doing is flashing with fastboot.

So if I get a valid recovery.img, boot.img, and system.img, I can just flash them with Mac or Linux fastboot.

I am considering buying one of these, but I am not going to buy a Linux/Android phone that requires me to use Windows just to install a FW.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
Agree, it's still one of the nicest sized phones available (imho), so it deserves more attention, but I don't think the community is big enough to get more development.

cwm-installable-zips do work on the cwm and twrp recoveries, so new ROMs created by the community can always be provided in that form. If you want I can also make a backup of the stock 1.000.24 which you can restore with either recovery (twrp or cwm), which will work as well. The only thing I didn't get to work is create an installable zip, but I never invested enough time to get it to work - I think it just needs to be compiled from source to get it going...who knows, I am not a developer so I cannot help you :)

The apps .apk file should be in /data/app while the apps personal space with settings,configs etc. are in /data/data/packetname/

If it is preset to install to sdcard there is also /sdcard/Android/data

For files that get created on the /sdcard, there is no way of tracking/knowing what belongs to what app.
