[Acer Iconia A500] veer01_42:
LOOOL, that darkened area, is a stylised effect to make the system menu pop more and stand out from whats in the background. It's akin to the gadget sidebar in Windows Vista.

the effect for 3.2 only ?

Thank you all :)

[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
Try any custom ROM or the latest RRu -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272676
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
First, get your rom backed up from CWM. Then you can try any custom/stock rom.
[HTC ChaCha] renzox:
already backed up with cwm , cwm and root also work in 1.33?

Yep.

With the LOS problems still to be fixed does anyone know of an app that when you do lose service it triggers some sort of a notification sound? I have missed a couple important calls and want to make sure I reboot asap when it does happen. Let me know if you guys know of anything, thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bpditty:
I forgot to say I found No Signal Alert in the market but it does not seem to work properly, I am running StarBurst ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
How about the roaming alarm thats built in
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
how about a shell script that pings 8.8.8.8 4x every 60 seconds and as soon as there is 100% ping loss for consecutive 2 minutes it will save a full logcat of past 5 minutes up to the 2nd failed ping test to sdcard and then shoot a notification & play an alarm sound to notify a user?

granted this isn't too battery friendly but its worth it if it aids in tracking down the source of the problem.

Tasker

disregard this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
I couldn't get Equals Value:noservice to work. So I set it to reboot %CELLSIG less than 2..now it keeps rebooting because I didn't set it to wait x seconds after booting (giving the radio time to lock. lol..oops
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
Onepuff,

You had a great idea! I got it working and here are the settings to do it:

New Profile: LOS Reboot

State: Variable Set [ Variable:%CELLSRV Value:noservice]

Task

1. task: Wait: 20 seconds

2. misc: reboot

Now I just need to figure out how to kill the process on or delay its checking when the phone boots.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] onepuff:
Maybe add an if %CELLSRV~noservice to the misc:reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
I got it working completely. Its pretty convoluted, as I'm sure there must be an easier way. I have it disable the LOC reboot profile on boot and send a txt message to myself. Then when that completes I have the LOC reboot profile wait 20seconds on boot. After 20seconds it enables the profile again. Once enabled as soon as there is noservice it reboots.

If anyone is interested I'll put the specifics down later.

This morning I noticed that at 12:59am my phone booted last night..LOS. Now I have a way to monitor this. Next step is to get a log saved to some file every time it reboots.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mawst95:
Here's my Tasker Profile to toggle airplane mode when I get LOS (toggling airplane mode seems to fix LOS for me). I'm sure this could be adapted for rebooting.

Context

%CELLSRV Matches noservice

Task

Wait 20 seconds (This ensures that its a persistant LOS, not a quick transient LOS for some other reason)

Stop if %AIR ~ On (If I'm already in airplane mode, then I don't need to run this Task)

Stop if %CELLSRV !~ noservice (After waiting the 20 seconds, if cell service has restored itself, the profile stops, since I'm not experience a true LOS error)

Vibrate, time = 1000 (vibrate)

Notify, title "service dropped!" (notification in the task bar)

Airplane Mode, set ON, if %CELLSRV ~ noservice (Toggles air mode to ON but only if I still have no service)

Wait 10 seconds (time for the airplane mode to activate)

Airplane Mode, set OFF (toggle airplane mode OFF)

I have a cooldown period of 30 minutes since it's unlikely that I'd get LOS so quickly again.

I think the WAIT and IF functions can help ensure you don't reboot over some transient LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] onepuff:
Thanks Eagercrow. That got it working for me. It has rebooted itself about 3 times today on its own when I had a LOS. I just added the "if" to the reboot task and that gives it time to find a signal after the phone starts up and not go into a rebooting loop. Also I had to use Quickboot plugin to reboot. For some reason the builtin tasker reboot was not working for me.

Profile: LOS REBOOT (11)

State: Variable Value [ Name:%CELLSRV Op:Matches Value:noservice ]

Enter: Cell Signal (4)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
you guy do realize you're only working around the problem, not solving it ;)

why not use tasker to dump all possible logs to sdcard and only then do a reboot. this way we can actually track down what's causing los.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] onepuff:
Yes, but it works much better than letting the phone sit there draining the battery endlessly for hours while we sleep.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
No we aren't solving it. We are getting our phone back to a state where it will receive calls and texts and not have to be looking at the phone every 10min. I've been playing with mine saving a logcat and or bug report. I've got it working except that I want the .txt file to timestamp the file name. I can't figure out how to do that so everytime it dumps a log it overights the old file. Anyone have an idea?

You guys have much simpler profiles than me. Lol. I'm going to incorporate your ideas inti mine and then ill post what I have.

I also have two profiles. One no service and the other unknown, I've seen both with the los.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenaciousj:
Are you able to help me with this, I never used tasker before and I'm lost after the part where you enter in the value of no service. I don't get what the A1,A2, A3 are or how to add them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
I was knew to this yesterday too. There are some decent guides and walk thrus out there to help get started. The a is for action. Basically you have a profile with tasks each task has an action or actions. I can help out via IM or pm later. I spent hours last night playing around. Whatever you do don't play with the reboot action until you know what you are doing. I had to restore twice last night cuz I caused bootlooping.

Here is my current setup. If anyone knows how to append a timestamp to the log file id appreciate it. Google hasn't been helpful.

That is one I haven't tried. hold on...

**edit. I love you!!! lol, in a bro no homo kinda way. LOL. I'm not a linux guy and tried every variation I could think of. the $ was the part I was missing and could not find on google. Then again I probably wasn't searching for the correct terms either.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
Thanks! I think I have it set up right. I used to be able to give my device LOS, by going into Task Manager and "Clear Memory". But today its just not doing it, service keeps popping right back up, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] muleskinner:
Wondering if this is in the works or if it ever will be? I did a bit of searching and didn't find much besides the (CDMA) version on CyanogenMOD forums and it was the experimental version.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
You might get lucky when we reach the nightly stages of CM. That's usually when they start adding support to other phones.

"AOSPのBACK!" ┌П┐[◣_◢]┌П┐
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Do a search, this topic has been brought up before.

To re-iterate what I have said in other such topics: one of the primary reasons CM (and other ROMs) are not available or in development for the Evo 3D GSM is that HTC screwed up when they released the kernel sources for the GSM model, and the board files that are included with those kernel sources are no compileable. As such, there are major limits in what changes can be made to the GSM's ROM (without a ridiculous amount of work).

HTC is aware of the issue, and have stated they are looking into it. All they need to do is re-post the kernel sources with proper (ie: compileable) board files, and the development for the GSM should explode.

This is the same reason there really aren't any Sense-less GSM ROMs.

[HTC Sensation] Bricked_Defy:
that example doesnt help me much im still kinda new to all of this so if you could find a more detailed guide for me that would be cool.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
It's laid out for you there actually. Granted it's a tad cryptic but:

-bootanimation.zip--->system/customize/resource or data/local depending on rom.

Basically, download the boot animation you want (has to be a zip file) and rename it to bootanimation.zip if it isn't already renamed. Plug in your phone and move the bootanimation.zip file you want over to your SD card. After you confirmed that your bootanimation.zip file is on your SD card, then unmount/remove the phone from your computer.

Then the easiest way is to use an app called root explorer where you can copy and paste files onto your phone. In your case depends on your rom but generally located on /system/customize/resource. Just use root explorer to see if the bootanimation.zip is located there and if it is,you can simply rename the file (ie bootanimation1bkup.zip) to have it as a back up if you want to revert back. Go to root explorer, copy the bootanimation.zip file and head over to where you found your 'old' bootanimation file and before hitting paste, make sure you click the r/o button so that it reads r/w. Then paste the file. Go back and tick the r/w button again and you can exit the phone. That should do it.

Did I forget anything?
[Xperia Play General] 8ballhacker:
Hi I'm new to the custom rom's and instead of searching through countless topics, mixing up instructions. I was wondering if I could get some directions.

Play is unrooted 2.3.3. I would like instructions on how to put a custom rom on the phone, and which custom rom would be recommended. Thanks in advance people.
[Xperia Play General] solitarymonkey:
is your phone fastboot enabled? (does the notification light in the power button turn blue if you hold the search button and then connect the usb to computer?)
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
If you want a custom rom but dont want to search and read these forums, i give your phone a week before you brick it.
[Xperia Play General] solitarymonkey:
or we could help people within the comunity to understand what's out there, the risks involved and how to get around the problems that could arise? we all need things explaining to us once in a while.
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Oh im sorry i see your point, it is always good to be helpful, i am trying to be helpful as well when i say you should search and read, i mean look at all the countless threads where people didnt want to read, theres like 3 help im bricked threads per page.
[Xperia Play General] solitarymonkey:
lol. i know what you mean. and i know it can be frustrating. it's just a shame that the play is so much more complicated than the x10 that i was previously on. it was all flashtool and update.zip stuff. practically unbrickable!! loved it. fastboot and adb complicate things, and i feel that some of the tutorials can be a little confusing to total noobs. so we need to be accomodating to their lack of knowledge (i hardly know anything, so i'm still quite noobish), but also, people need to accept their own actions and consequences. not sure what i'm getting at now, but things need to be simpler for people who want to start out :)
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Actually the way of installation is exactly the same for any custom ROM in this phone.

1) unlock your bootloader, either for free if you bought a factory unlocked phone or for some cash sending Alejandrissimo a PM, which you have to use if your phone is branded and/or Sim locked. You only need to do this step once.

2) install a custom kernel. There are two: DoomLord's kernel and the Cyanogen Mod kernel. The latter allows you only to install CM7. Doom's allows you to install the others.

3) Enter in Clockwork Mod recovery and install the ROM you prefer as long as your kernel of choice supports it.

As to which ROM you should pick, I use CM7 because it's stable and fast. Visit those threads and see for yourself which is the one you like best.
[Xperia Play General] solitarymonkey:
my personal favorite (until cm7 became more usable, and also because i like dooms kernel) was zerojay's aptly named zerorom. it's a very clean and fast sony based rom full of optimizations and tweaks. i'm currently trying out the FXP028 release of cm7 to see if it's more to my liking than it was in previous releases.
[Xperia Play General] 8ballhacker:
Unfortunately locked to Rogers. Is there a free way of unlocking the bootloader and how?

Again I'm currently running 2.3.3 nonrooted. Had it rooted on 2. 3. 2. but ofcourse lost it with update.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
No there isnt.
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
If you want root get wantonserver and flash na generic 2.3.2 root it with gingerbreak and then ota update to 2.3.3+
[Xperia Play General] solitarymonkey:
well, one free way could be if you could swap a branded phone to someone who doesnt care and has a generic model :p
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
True, but paying $20 dollars to get it unlocked sounds like less of a pain in the ass :D
[Xperia Play General] mcorbeil:
Bump, has anyone been able to get Cyanogen mod onto the Rogers r800a? This locked boot loader is really causing me grief. Have the phone rooted, cwr is installed as well as busy Box. Getting closer, but still no cigar. :(
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
You can flash CM7, but i doubt it will boot with stock kernel.
[Xperia Play General] mcorbeil:
Just to confirm, without the proper Kernel I am more than likely to brick my play? Many Thanks!
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
You won't brick it, if kernel is incompatible device with either not boot, or bootloop, flahing stock rom with flashtool will fix it though.
[General Topics] liltone08618:
Ok so here is my issue, I have been on the brink recently with deciding to go either with an iPhone or remain with the Android family. Hell I even referred to the the iPhone as the crap phone lol. A lot of people consider me highly technical inclined when it comes to anything and I am finding myself stumped here. I am into the whole customization thing which is why I like the Android OS, however with some of the issues I have having with Android and even the latest device from Big Red, the Droid Bionic my confidence level has went down. Just looking for something solid and a good company to back their phones and not take forever. I know there is only one company when dealing with the iPhone and with Droid there's all the different manufactures and them having to approve of what is in the update.

I have been an Android advocate since my first device which was an EVO and then to the Epic then back to the EVO and finally upgraded to the E3D. I had month long technical issues with Sprint with getting my phone repaired/replaced and their lack of customer service to help out someone who was a customer for the past 8 years.

I have since left Sprint last week and switched over to Verizon where I now have the Droid Bionic. Issue is now that I got the Bionic is that I am having issues with the OS having problems that from research that a lot of other users have the same problems. Also in my findings I have read that the fix for the issues with the Bionic will not come out until sometime in November and here it is now the 2nd day of October. Does not make any sense to me that it takes a whole month to roll out a fix for issues that a vast majority of the users have the same problems. I do not think I am asking for too much but geesh, I can't win or loose here.

Another thing that bothers me is that my girlfriend has the Charge and when we are in the same area with one another her phone has better phone reception, this is kind of the final straw for me and making me want to jump ship to the iOS and even get an iPad. Even while I was out tonight, her best friends husband has one and I couldn't put it down. Added more insult to injury. :mad: Only thing is for me to have the patience to wait for the release of the iPhone 5.

Not too sure if I am asking for too much, however I definitely need some guidance here, please advise smart people out there.
[General Topics] cvpi:
May not be of much help but the only thing I can suggest is to wait for the iPhone 5 to come out and see if you like it more.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Sadly given the market options out I don't see any purpose in android anymore... Whether or not you can customize everything just feels lower quality.
[General Topics] Cape Lucid:
For some reason grass is always greener on the other side ;).

Wait and see how the iP5 will behave in real world.

As a few weeks back daily iP4 user it's a pain sometimes. You really have to hold it different not to loos coverage or wifi.

This is no joke no matter what people say. It can get really annoying. Signal is worse compared to G1, Desire and now Desire Z that I use everyday. Glass. One accidental drop and chips appear. Very annoying and looks ugly.

IOS 5 has nothing that android already does (so far). Games quality is noticable if that is your thing.

If you get the chance, test it first. I know i will get it (I develop for iOS so it's a must) but still will use the Z as it is. Just like android more :)

Glimpse app built-in browser is so much faster in loading web pages than the stock or advance browser. Has anyone noticed
[TouchPad General] mike-y:
I was under the impression that Glimpse just opened the stock browser in one of it's own window panes.. i.e. it still uses the stock browser. Is this not correct?
[TouchPad General] icecube0045:
thats what i thought too?
[TouchPad General] winn75:
The developer said that it is separate from the stock browser. Test it compare to the stock and Advanced browser's speed. Not sure why the glimpse web browser loads the web pages faster which is great for web browsing.
[TouchPad General] Jive Turkey:
Interesting, but Glimpse itself takes so long to load it wouldn't be worth using it unless it's always left open.

Yeah. I sold my Captivate on eBay for $200 to offset the cost of the new phone. And Walmart's $520 off contract price is the best deal around. That leaves me $320 + tax for the new phone with NO contract extension.

Can be unlocked by AT&T, priceless :)
