idk if this is a known issue with this config but non of the four physical buttons (back home menu and search) seem to work
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Did you flash DoomKernel V3 or V4 because his V4 kernel with FW4.0.A.2.368 broke my physical buttons aswell. V4 is for a newer firmware 4.0.1.A.283 and above , for FW4.0.A.2.368 use Doom kernel V3.
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
I have been messing with the Conversations.apk today. I copied some verizon settings from the stock Mms.apk and...... fail. It will open, but when touching new message the app force closes.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Edit : 007shark I thank you sir. I was able to flash the Uk firmware 3.0.1.A.0.145 and then instead of stock kernel I flashed doomkernel V3 for the same firmware, and Camera both back and front work, no video playback problems, wifi worked also. Mms still no go, but overclocked with wifi and a camera , thanks for testing an posting your ideas!
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
How did you get it worjing. I tried flashing and it gave a blank home screen.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
I flashed doomlords V3 kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15805471&postcount=2

Then flashed the systemUK.sin that 007shark posted on page one of this thread. After that I booted recovery from doomskernel (spam back key for V3 kernel) and flashed the CMDA patch.

First boot didnt get me anywhere besides sony splash screen. I pulled battery and waited a few minutes and now I have wifi , cameras, 1.86ghz o/c, no mms but I could live with that since most people i know have email on their phone so I can email pics instead of text, and Ill go through emailing photos to have the great Timescape UI.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
I used root explorer and put the 2.3.3 stock sms.apk in system/app , changed permissions and rebooted. I was able to receive a picture msg afterwards in both the uk sms app and the 2.3.3 sms app but still wasnt not able to send.

Could there be something in the system that deals with sending mms msg's thats not in the app itself ? I dont know much further then this.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
MMS

Any luck or new ides with the mms situation?
[Xperia Play General] xanderharris86:
I tried putting the stock sms app on the phone but it force closes every time I try to go into settings. Any chance you can upload your apk so I can give it a shot, or link me to one that might work?
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
I used the sms app from 2.3.3 stock. I put it in system/app and changed permissions. I left the Uk sms app "conversations.apk" in there also. After I booted I could receive pictures, they downloaded in both sms apps. But I still couldnt send with either, it would still sick at sending
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
I have another idea on getting it to work. Just gotta find the time.
[Xperia Play General] xanderharris86:
how'd you pull that apk from 2.3.3 stock if you're running the UK firmware, that's what I'm getting at. I had one saved in titanium backup, but that's the one that keeps freezing.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
It wont work for you?

I took the stock 2.3.3 sms app for an r800x and saved it on my sd card. Then flashed the UK 2.3.3 firmware in this thread. I then installed root explorer and just copy and pasted the app into system/app , changed permissions and rebooted. When it booted back up I had the Uk sms app and the Usa sms app in my app drawer. They both work for texting normally and they both work receiving photo msg. I did nothing to the app itself.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Great to hear man! If you can find the missing piece and the mms fully works, well... This could end up the greatest thing ever! UK firmware with Doomlord V5 would make my life complete!
[Xperia Play General] xanderharris86:
I had both installed but I got double texts and no MMS... so I uninstalled the conversations.apk. Not a huge issue, but I'd "like" it to work.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
What kernel are u using? I'm using doomlords v3. I still have both apps and can still receive a photo msg. Did u try the stock 2.3.2 sms?
[Xperia Play General] xanderharris86:
I can't swear it's the stock 2.3.3, it may be the 2.3.2... it's whatever I had a titanium backup from. Any chance you can upload your file on here and I can give it a shot? I only say this because I'm not sure how else to pull the 2.3.3 sms.apk file right now unless I reflash everything and I'm packing for the airport lol... don't want to destroy my phone before a flight!
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Here is mine. I did theme the icon and notification icon in my phone only changes though its stock other then icon.

http://db.tt/SHDO4s2j

Hope the flight goes well, I would hate to have a broke on a plane!
[Xperia Play General] xanderharris86:
much appreciated, testing now. You're saying just put that in the system/app folder and restart?

Maybe my problem is I'm not sure what permissions you're talking about, care to explain?
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
No problem just glad I can help, I attached a screen shot of how the permissions need to be set. Put the app in the system/app/ folder and then long press on the app and scroll to permissions and check only the ones like in the screen shot and you should be good to go.

Certain apps will force close and you will have to put in system/ folder then change permissions there and then move to system/app/ because some apps force close loop if they dont have right permissions when in system/app
[Xperia Play General] zero_1_2:
I can post various logcats with sending and recieving with 2.3.3 OTA FW. and sending and receiving with this UK build. See if we can see any differences...
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
Thanks for posting this. I am interested in seeing the logcat for the UK build w/ the stock Conversations.apk. It will probably confirm what I think is the problem. If it does, then expect by the end of the weekend a working Conversations.apk.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Sounds great!
[Xperia Play General] xanderharris86:
so last night someone sent me an MMS and it worked fine... the day before it didn't. I never edited the permissions like you said because I just now saw this post. I have the UK conv apk uninstalled and yet still works fine.... strange, ain't it? I'll try to test it out again today and have someone send me a pic.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
I was gettings photos in both apps. Did u uninstal the stock sms and still got mms in the uk one? Or received a photo only with both?
[Xperia Play General] zero_1_2:
Here are the logcats of 2.3.3 MMS success and UK ROM with CHEVY patch failure. With receiving and sending in both logcats.
[Xperia Play General] iliketrains:
Is the v05 kernel working with the posted build?
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
No v5 is made for newer firmware the firmware posted here only works w doom v3.

U can use v5 tho but camera and wifi don't work
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Was it in 2.3.4 uk system that had auto brightness disable option, this 2.3.3 uk doesn't
[Xperia Play General] xanderharris86:
I uninstalled the UK one and still got mms. Still can't send though.
[Xperia Play General] xanderharris86:
found a somewhat 'major' problem with what I hope is this FW or maybe the whole SMS issue. I hadn't received any texts from people the last day and I couldn't figure out why. I was texting people but no response. I turn off my phone, turn it on, and I had 21 new messages within the last 24 hours. They could get mine but I didn't receive a single one from them... very strange...
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
Thank you. As you see, the key is the Conversations.apk can't read the APN settings which is in apns-conf.xml in /system/etc. This is one piece of the puzzle as is modifying the smali files.

UPDATE: I have it past the APN failure by updating the build.prop and apns-conf.xml. I now get a server failure, which in the app puts the mms in a sending queue, but I see active data on the 3G when trying to send.

UPDATE 2: I have mms working for sending and receiving. I only have it working with the Mms.apk and not the Conversations.apk right now.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
You know your stuff man. Thats pretty nice to hear. Any chance I can pry the working mms from you hands for a download?
[Xperia Play General] iliketrains:
Would much appreciate a copy myself.
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
The Mms.apk is the stock mms.apk. All the changes to make it work were with system files. Unfortunately, this doesn't make the Conversations.apk work which I desperately want to get working because of the much improved UI over the stock mms.apk. I will make a zip file to be installed through CW recovery with the working mms so that everyone can at least send and receive pic messages if that is a necessity.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
That would be great add to the r800x community. Many thanks to you.
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
Edited first post with download for zip file to install with CW recovery. :cool:

Sweet, this works great. At the same time it makes me hate both verzion and europe....... DAMN YOU!!! The next world war will be verizon and europe vs cdma phone users. Good thing we got nukes.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
007shark great work this makes a complete rom with overclock wifi data mms cameras and timescape! The r800X is now what it should have been from launch thanks to the Xperia Play XDA community
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
Since I cannot get the newer firmwares to work with the R800x, I am going to try to integrate some of the newer features into this one, ie: auto brightness, xloud, HD video recording, and Bravia Engine.

I will also look into the move dalvik to cache issue with DoomKernel v3.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Im going to send you a donation help out with that. Most of whats for Xperia Play was gonna be developed no matter what, but you working on this UK for r800x is something I dont see much of. I hope you are able to incorporate these things and get the dalvik working for us, either way im sending you something for your efforts as they have added the missing piece to my r800x
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
Thank you very much. I do it more because I enjoy the challenge, but if you want to buy me a soda or cup of coffee that is quite alright.
[Xperia Play General] xanderharris86:
Great work! Phone is running great so far!
[Xperia Play General] x126:
Love you, finally I can get one that works for my traveling week later.

Will the apps2ext hack work with this configuration?

Also, you need to move this thread over to development, or start a new one there. This is a huge development for verizon users.
[Xperia Play General] zero_1_2:
agreed. Also post your fixed Patch in the R800X State of Dev thread.
[Xperia Play General] JelloFreak:
Is there anyway to apply these patches to the 2.3.4 GSM rom?
[Xperia Play General] ace518:
With a working cwm flashable rom, may I suggest you post this in the development section. I may have missed this ever being here.
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
I need to repeat my question. Has anyone been able to get link2sd to work with this configuration? I've spent all weekend trying and I get mount warning whenever I reboot. I know doomlords kernel v3 supports ext mounting on boot, but for some reason it isn't mounting on boot.
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
Unfortunately no, getting the 2.3.4 firmwares to work on the R800x is still a work in progress. They will run on our phone, but without service.

I haven't tried using that, but can look into it. I was going to work on tweaking the v3 kernel with some of his newer features anyways.

I would like to get into developing I looked at a few tutorials and learned that first i need a Linux system. Which Linux OS would be the best to use for developing? I've always used Ubuntu/Linux Mint but I stopped using them since Windows 7 took over all my systems. The tutorials that I've seen navigated me to a site called source.android.com which has a decent guide that shows how to set up a Linux system ready for developing.

I have an unlocked and rooted Samsung Galaxy phone.

Everything was working fine for a year.

Randomly, I lost connection today, and it says that it is not registered on the Network anymore. I tried taking the battery out and re starting the phone and taking out the Sim card, but no luck.

Any suggestions? If I were to install a new rom or the old one, do you think that would fix it?

I was thinking maybe its a problem with Fido, which is my provider, over a unpaid bill or something. I am not sure. Everything was working fine until like 9pm tonight, and then I lost connection.

Or do you think I have to use Odin to put it back to the original factory rom?

If I put it back to the original factory rom, would it become locked again?

This phone was very complicated to unlock, as when I tried the normal method to unlock it, it just gave me zeros.
[Vibrant General] molson24:
I bought my phone originally off ebay about 8 months ago.

Everything worked fine pretty much up until tonight.

Do you think this means my phone is black listed? And I will have to change IMEI?

I am going to call my service provider here, but is unlocked, its a T-Mobile phone, but I am using Fido as a provider.

I got a vibrant t959 but some one updated it on i9000 rome by odin and unlocked as i9000. it unlocked but signal up and down always. now i updated it again on t959 original rom and rooted it, recovery and download mode came back again now its normal. but still signal problem. when check status typing *#7465625# it show all locks off position, but still have signal problem. pls any body help me if can.

[Vibrant General] molson24:
I was just wondering if I reset everything back to stock/original, will I have to unlock the phone again?

Or will it stay unlocked?
[Vibrant General] strtkempo:
Check your APN settings first try googling your carriers proper APN and make sure its set properly. If thats not it, try reflashing your rom make a backup first.. I'm not sure about having to reunlock your phone you'll have to search XDA. That is a curious problem. Hopefully its not a stolen phone if so they may have blocked the IMEI number the only way to tell is to call the carrier if your paying your bill hey should be willing to answer your question. I recommend buying phones from someone you know and not online.
[Vibrant General] molson24:
The phone actually worked today.

I am living in a basement, and I guess one of the towers went down or the reception is just gone bad.

When I went outside 30 minutes later I was getting full signal and everything worked.

Then I went back in the basement, it went back to searching for signal and provider.

Very strange, as I always use to receive signal in the past.

This same thing happened to me last night. I bought my phone a year ago outright. I downloaded sgs unlock app and unlocked the phone. It has worked fine until last night.

Seems like this has happened to a few people last night. Can anyone help?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Untraumatized:
Ok so I bought my Dell Streak from craigslist, and instantly fell in love with it, until about 6 hours later when I dropped it in my garage and the LCD broke, the top is messed up and black lines keep appearing, at like 6-7 now lol

So I checked out the price on ebay, found some US sellers (dont want to wait a month+ for shipping, even to save $10+) and they seem legit, but I also looked up HOW to replace the screen. I am new to mobile phone replacement but I am good at putting things back together, and have replaced a few laptop LCDs. I noticed the Dell Streak is put together with glue, and "pressure?", and seems a little bit more difficult than a laptop LCD.

Now I am just curious about a few things... What tools (other than the screwdrivers and the plastic wedge it comes with to pry it open) would I need? Do I really need to glue things back together when I reassemble? How dangerous to the other parts is this, is it likely I could break or damage other parts of the phone? Like I said I am new to this but not stupid, and can follow DIY's easily, I just want to make sure I dont dig a hole. I paid $200 for my Streak and broke it within hours!

But let me add, I do love this phone!

ANY AND ALL HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (InsertNameHere):
You can use the glue thats already there, you should also consider upgrading the internal memory card if you are doing this repair.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Most screen replacements come with both the lcd and covering glass as a unit already. Make sure any replacement you buy has both.

The biggest gotcha I have seen reported is tearing the cable for the capacitive buttons. be very careful when working on that part.

The top and bottom pieces are stuck on with double sided tape. There are a couple of suggested brands in the screen replacements threads both here and at StreakSmart.

In case you missed any of them here are some screen related links:

Well kinda think the app needs to be mangofied. Multitasking support, quick app resume, more stability and speed, theme options, plenty. Just thought I'd make this thread to gain traction so post ur support.

Seems like support is dead so would XDA allow some members to work on this app. I'm pretty sure plenty of mems would like to do this and it shows great community support.

I also agree that the xda wp7 app needs updating. The post edit feature doesn't work well on my samsuung focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
+1 the app is a bit laggy at the moment, could definitely use an update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
The Android Premium version recieved an update not too long ago, so there's still hope. There are some things that should be improved:

- 16 Bit banding, which is said to be app related rather than OS related (though I doubt that).

- editting a post never works flawlessly, since you can't really scroll down to the bottom of the message box. Happens in larger quoted messages as well.

- scrolling should definitely be improved a lot. I've rarely seen apps with such horrible laggy scrolling.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DroidFreek:

[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
XDA didn't develop the App, it's basically a stripped down version of Board Express, IIRC, just like the Android app is a Stripped Down Version of TapaTalk. You can pay to have them produce a customized version just for your forum.

And yes, that app is terrible. A ton of paid apps are basically unsupported these days, I guess since the Developers made a good chunk of cash and don't feel hte need to devote anymore of their free time to it.

Birdsong is another example. Literally unsupported right now.

Should start a Sticky Thread for apps that have fallen out of support to tell people to avoid them, IMO. Can't support your app, you don't deserve good word of mouth, IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shinygerbil:
Yeah, WP7 badly needs a proper Tapatalk-style app. Board Express is awful and the developer has gone AWOL.

If I remember correctly, I did see something on the Board Express website about reskinning/rebranding costing $999 or so. I could be remembering it wrong, and the info is no longer on the website...but damn. If a few gullible fools did that, no wonder the guy has disappeared. Talk about making a fast buck.

I totally support the idea of a thread for abandoned apps...given that the quality of reviewers on the Marketplace is fairly low it's often hard to tell whether an app is any good, especially if the trial is heavily stripped down or doesn't even exist.
