dead link

Hi. I've already rooted my phone. Now I want to try the ICS firmware from Sony and need to unlock my bootloader. The link provided. Above appears to be dead. I would be happy to pay for the unlock code or service. Thanks for any info.

Unlocking R800x

Okay I don't think I'm a complete noob at this as I've already rooted an HTC Hero, Droid1, and Nook Color. Could someone please explain how I'm supposed to unlock my R800x bootloader in simple terms? I'm getting conflicting directions everywhere I go and I'm more than willing to pay for it but no one I pm will reply for the unlock code.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
There is no unlock code anymore from Sony Ericsson. However, Alejandrissimo is supposed to be reasonable and very reliable. His website can be found here.
[HTC EVO 3D] 0okami:
Im in the market for a car dock/cradle to mount my Evo 3d in my jeep. Preferably looking for one that does not block the camera as it will be doing occasional video recording.

I'd like to see what you have tried or recommend trying...

Previously, I mounted my evo 4g high up by the sun visor out of the way using this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004KMNBD2 But i didnt like how the goose neck would allow it to bounce around a bit too much for my taste. Cheap solution worked good. But i'd like something more sturdy...

This here looks like it would do the job quite well:

SlipGrip Car Mount

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SlipGrip-Ca...ccessories&hash=item5d2f55227b#ht_2472wt_1163

Looks like camera view can be position to be relatively unblocked.

This one is also calling my attention (iGrip):

But I dont like how it blocks the lens...

[youtube]Od_ZMp_JdYg[/youtube]
[HTC EVO 3D] Jokerzwyld:
I bought the iGrip and use it every day. Love it!!!! No bouncing when driving, even on rough roads.

Would really push you toward that one.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Exogear is awesome, sticks to almost anything, and is universal! I always buy universal car mounts so that's one less accessory I have to purchase when I get a new phone, or if want to put my 4th Gen IPod Touch in it. Check out Exogear's website and check out all the pics and the video. It really does stick as well as they claim. I have mounted mine in atleast 4 different locations in my cars that 3 other mounts I have want even stay for 2 seconds. They are $30 plus direct, but can be had for just over $20 shipped from eBay, new in box!
[HTC EVO 3D] 0okami:
That one? Pretty clever and practical design for a universal mount. i like the looks.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
I originally had the igrip. Returned it which I hated to do cause I really liked it. Got the slip grip cause I have the defender. Works great
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
I have the iGrip Traveller, which I bought at The Source around Christmas for $30.

What I like about it is that it's not designed for any specific phone, and it works fine with most cases. It uses a foam-padded clamping mechanism to grip the phone. Works great in both portrait and landscape orientation (uses a ball-pivot) and the suction clamp works well on both the windshield and the provided suction plate.
[HTC EVO 3D] Makdasamurai:
Yea I have the igrip one because we sell it at my store, but I would agree that it is a great dock.
[HTC EVO 3D] kneeldug:
My crappy and practical car doc

It is big enough to use for nearly any phone, but it required buying a right angle adapter (or the cable hit the dash from the bottom of the phone).

At $3.50, they are a heck of a good deal. I used this with my Evo OG every day for a year, until I was an idiot and broke it. My wife's is still going strong. Get two...they are cheap!

[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
+ 100. I use it daily as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ep3n3wp:
I really suggest this one... Holds phone really well no bouncing or shaking.. Also I really like the quick flip latch that locks in the phone.

Another great feature is that I can use the dock with my Tpu case on with no problems..

The Icing on the cake is... you can still use the camera for pictures and videos (as long as your in 2d mode)
[HTC EVO 3D] Coriolis3ffect:
Is there a car dock that would fit the otterbox defender case?
[HTC EVO 3D] DZLRULZ:
I have this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003Y3BEV4?is=300&qid=1316313209&sr=8-1&in=1

It works awesome, even with a Seidio active case installed. It does not cover either camera, and works uncased as well. I had it for my Evo 4G and have taken video while driving with it. The vent mount option is sweet if you have a vent with slats. If not the windshield suction cup works great too. It grips the right 50% of the phone the way I have it and does cover the camera button and 3d switch. The charging port is exposed.

Swyped using 2 cores and 3 Ds
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Just about all of the universal dock/ mounts will. That's why i always buy universal. You can use them with or without a case, and for the next phone you purchase in the future. Exogear holds my phone perfect with or without my Defender case on it. I even put my 4th Gen iPod Touch in it occasionally. It fits nice and tight also...
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Yup, that's the one! Best mount I've ever used, and I've had/have quite a few universal mounts! Watch the video on their website, it is pretty impressive and really does work as well as it shows. I can take some pictures of mine mounted in my car if you or anyone else wants. Plus you'll get to see what our Evo 3Ds look like in the mount.
[HTC EVO 3D] DZLRULZ:
I just ordered one from Amazon for $18.34. Thanks for the suggestion, it looks cool. May be better than the Kensington that I suggested above!

Lol, it's the little things that make life exciting! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] 0okami:
I ended up buying the slipgrip. It arrived today and it was a bit troublesome to get the EVO lined up right to where I can shoot video in 3d without capturing the mount if self. But it is possible. Pics and vid coming soon.

The problem I had was with the ball mount having grooves and gears teeth, precise adjustments was fussy. Im wondering if i grind them down I can do better adjusting without it going either too far up or too far down.

Pics at home:

/end rushed pics.

Jeep Wranglers have a small windsield... This mount while it looks huge at first impression, It fits nicely at the upper center of my windshield behind the retrovisor. The evo 3d ends up sitting next to my retrovisor and from there it can record video in 2d/3d.

I'll post pics of it mounted on the windshield once there is some day light outside.

Sample video right side lens seems to be out of focus. I think its because i turned off auto focus. It goes craZy when its raining:

[HTC EVO 3D] Shady Gambino:
This car mount from arkon is perfect if you want to use the 3D camera, doesn't block the lens:

Hope some of you find this useful.
[HTC EVO 3D] 0okami:
If you look close, you can see how it vibrates when positioned. This vibration will also happen when the engine is on, and when driving creating blurry videos. For that reason, goose necks are a bad idea.

Thanks for posting though.

Universal Lighter Socket Mount

I have a 2004 toyota tacoma and have been using one for the last three phones I have owned. Only issue with the 3d is occasionally it would hit the camera button when i closed it but now I have a TPU case and thats not an issue. I agree with the previous poster about trying to only by universal solutions if possible.

[HTC EVO 3D] cormasco:
I have used Proclip for my last few phones. They have holders for evo 3d with and without charger built in. They make custom mounts for most vehicles. You have to buy the mount for your vehicle and the holder for evo. It's expensive but worth it for me. I was gonna get their evo 3d holder but I realized my 3d fits in my evo 4g holder. I had to unscrew the charger though since the 3d is on side.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big2hd:
Hello well not sure but I think my GPS is "broken broken" like maybe something hardware related but just wanna to check with you guys first instead of doing anything drastic.

I think I first noticed when i was on a build of trigger(cm based) that the GPS kept searching for location and unscessfully tried the CM7 GPS script. I then just decided to Odin back to stock and getting the same results GPS wise. I also tried Nandroiding back to a ROM that knew GPS worked when i use to use it(toxic w7 clone) but still no luck. Also worth noting that while on Stock Odin I tried some different Market based GPS fixes(GPS Restore GPS Aids).

Any help would be appreicated thx
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sroach23:
some people have working gps, some dont. mine kind of works but it takes forever to lock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reuthermonkey:
Did your GPS work in the past?

I used a 2.2 build of Trigger a little bit back, and it did the same thing to my phone. I have a "fixed" hardware GPS antenna (since I did the FFC mod, fixing the GPS at the same time was a piece of cake), so when I suddenly couldn't get any GPS signal, I knew something was most definitely up. I tried the sgps "fixes" to no avail.

Eventually I flashed CM7 (since gps wasn't working either way, at that point), then Odin'd to stock, then flashed Bionix 1.3.1, and suddenly at some point it fixed itself. Now my GPS is back to working on CM7, as well as 2.2 roms.

So, if your GPS used to work fine, there was something software-wise which screwed it up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiz516:
Do yourself a favor and call TMobile. Tell them that your GPS doesn't work and you'd like a replacement. Do it three times and get a completely different phone for free.

The Vibrant is a POS at best.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big2hd:
Hmm.. i did see a post where someone said it took 5 minutes to get a lock maybe I'll try the GPS test again for longer period.

Sorry bout that I should of mention that GPS was working in the past, never tried Bionix I'll see if that does the trick.

Yeah this what I meant by drastic but probably my only real solution, wonder how that works though im pretty sure I'm paying for some replacement/warranty but that's only if they find out it is broken or defective right?

So glad i bought a Vibrant for my birthday as my 1st smartphone :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big2hd:
Well I think I made some progress here, I Odin back to Eclair and to Bionix. GPS still wasn't working but GPS Test shows that there are some Satellites "in view" but not "in use" weird...

If wildfire s is getting any more updates then there's a good chance the ability to s-off will be included (following the process on htcdev). There is a good chance our poor little wfs's won't see any more updates though :(
[HTC Wildfire S] Deleted member 4256060:
One last question......why is so hard to s off this device from others?
[HTC Wildfire S] buber82:
Cause it's hboot is limited to MAX, fastboot mode lacks functions that are in desire, sensation, or any other device.

So you can't use htc method, same for the revolutionary method.

You want to software hack? Develop own hboot, otherwise spent 20 bucks for xtc clip.

I've bought one on UK ebay, used it once and sell to another person :)

Thought i'd pay something back for all i've learned here on xda-developers (something simple, i'm still learning ;)). So here are some transparent lockscreens for various roms. The lockscreens are completely transparent (10% opacity) except for the clock and the charging indicator. The files below are for

unmodded / unthemed

roms. If you want one for your theme, or one not in the list below, let me know.

Thanks to Lg_X_Modderer for pointing me in the right direction about how to make the lockscreen transparent. Thanks to everyone else who explained how to edit apk's and make flashable zip's etc.

Install through CMW from recovery.

If you previously have set a lockscreen wallpaper through the gallery, remove the file from /data/data/com.cooliris.media/files (with for example root-explorer).

Use at own risk, do a nandroid backup before flashing.

If you want to do it yourself, here's how:

Edit res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml.

In line 2 replace android:background="@color/background_dark" with android:background="@drawable/default_wallpaper".

In line 5 replace android:background="#30000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".

In line 12 replace android:layout_marginBottom="80.0dip" to android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dip".

Edit res/layout/zzz_keyguard_screen_lockscreenwallpaper.xml.

In line 2 replace android:background="#ff000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".

In res/drawable-hdpi:

Replace default_wallpaper.jpg with default_wallpaper.png. Replace zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.jpg with transparent zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.png (can be any png size 480x800).

Thats it.

may i ask, what would be the difference with your method?

thank you in advance. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phyxs:

Then i can just swap the xml.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phyxs:
Forgot to ask, is this for a odexed or deodexed rom? I'll include instructons when i return the file. Also got this when i decompiled your framework-res.apk: "Cant find 9patch chunk in file: "drawable-hdpi/status_bar_item_background_pressed.9.png". Renaming it to *.png". This needs fixing.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
Oh im just fixing that file now. must have slipped by.

Villain 2.4.2 is deodexed i believe. Ill just check.

Im going to upload the fixed framework in a min.

Every wallpaper you set using the gallery will have a black background. Haven't found a way to do that yet.

As far as i know every rom without transparent lockscreen support will display a black background that way. Atleast it does on lite'ning 6.1 (which i'm using right now).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
ok cool. only problem im having is that it keeps my current lockscreen wallpaper and doesnt revert to the framework one. how do I put it back to the default one?
