Hi,

If you bought an Acer Iconia Smart (S300) you probably noticed that most apps don't use full screen mode on this unusual device.

This is a pitty but it can be adressed. How ? Thanks to a (badly) hidden menu that can enable/disable a compatibility mode.

You'll still see some badly coded apps that won't fill the whole screen but hey... they are badly coded so you don't want them on your device !

Here is how to access that hidden menu.

First step : install "Lancher Pro (Free)" from the market.

You can uninstall it after this process.

Once installed click on the home menu of you phone :

If you want to keep using Acer Launcher just tick the box and click on Application Launcher.

The following exemple uses the Acer interface as default.

Go back to your homescreen, find a screen that has a free icon space and click on "menu".U

Then click "Add"

Then "Shortcut"

Then"Activities"

Now go down and click on "Settings" :

Go to "Compatibility Settings"

Click on it

Now you have a shortcut on your screen :

Go click on it :

untick the "Compatibility Mode" box

Now just click on your "home" button or back to go return to your homescreen and enjoy your fullscreen experience!

The shortcut you created can be deleted and Launcher Pro can be uninstalled as you probably will never want to go back !

I LOVE THIS PHONE MORE THAN EVER with this trick ;) THANKS BUDDY. ciaoo
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
Some devices/ROM-versions also have a *#*#4224#*#* option. Just dial it and see if it works (no need for Launcher Pro :)).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paugustin:
Nice trick thanks for the code it's much easier :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wild_saher010:
thanks

i just get this device and i think at the first there is no support for it but now there is a hope thanks alooooooooooooooot
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
And it works well in most applications :) some home screens that cannot cope with the large resolution, but when using the Acer home, I haven't really encountered any apps that had problems :cool:

update to ics

Hello to you all I'm a newb to this site and I'm looking to see if I can get ice cream sandwich on my Acer iconia S300 smartphone at all, I also have no idea on how to root things as I'm scared of bricking the phone could someone help please thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
There's no ICS yet. I did see a MIUI rom on a Russian website, but haven't tested it yet. I wouldn't try rooting or other stuff, unless you have a specific reason...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gingernick30:
thank you

Totally works thank you is their any way I can get ice cream sandwich on this phone without rooting it as I have no idea on how to do that :laugh:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
You won't because it doesn't exist yet
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paugustin:
And it probably will never come as Acer will not release ICS for the Iconia Smart. It may come from independant devs but I don't know who... Vache had an Iconia Smart but it's broken so he won't be able to do it... He did begin on porting CM9 but was stopped by 3G support (otherwise the phone was running fine).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
Maybe you can convince Vache to share his sources so some others can continue development? I have asked a while ago, but never received a response...

Nevertheless, may I recommend the MIUI ROM that I have added to the forum today? It's really nice imho. I only have a problem with my APN list, no other issues so far...

Regards,

Nika.

I got this E-mail from Acer today and thought I'd share this with you all :

Thank you for contacting Acer UK.

We understand your concern and regret the inconvenience caused to you.

We have some further information for you, there will be shortly FOTA update available for your unit to ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) it is on pre release for final testing at the moment.

The serial number or SNID number you have provided is not recognized by our database. We would therefore be grateful if you could reconfirm the details.

We request you to contact us with the serial number of the product in future.

We can know the warranty status and the technical specifications of the unit with the serial number.

You can use the link below to locate the serial number of the unit.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
Wow... that would be cool! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paugustin:
That would totally rock!

Are you really talking about the Iconia Smart?

micro sd storage

im just wondering does any one know how to make their micro sd the main storage for every thing on the s300 please
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paugustin:
Nika : for Vache sources see if he has a github or something. I know he shared his sources with lens_flare over at modaco. MT and Smart share the same sources.

And don't get your hopes up about ics on the Smart. I don't trust support about updates as they usually have no clue about this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
You have 6.5 GB available on main storage, so why would you want that?! On other devices I've seen that you need to modify "vold.fstab" (ie. root required). Also on other forums I've seen people use link2sd for it (also root required)...

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

I've quickly looked at his github, but nothing there for S300. Will look further when I have time (or nothing to do :D). I did see they develop ICS on the MT actively, so maybe we should wait till they have it more stable over there :cowboy:

bug

i think i found a bug. when i return to my home screen, on the bottom just above the phone, message, ... apps, there are five small pèoints to show you on what home screen you are. but my backgroung is moving around these points like hell, and after i opened and closed an app, there remains still a part of the app near these five points. my background is a custom photography, with a pre-installed background everything works perfectly.

hope you find a solution :S

:confused:

but it s a great tutorial ;) thanks for that:good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikagl:
I am quite sure I had that too, just use the Acer Launcher instead of any other launcher (like LP / Launcher Pro).

[XPERIA X10 General] sopdogg:
Looks very nice! One complaint though, wish the guy would have flipped the phone over and showcase the whole phone instead of just the UI.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
the screen looks like it has an awesome curve

[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Don't know! Give us some hints ;) I will be getting this one too. Sad the announcement will be delayed lets hope the release date remains the same. Most of us are just holding on to X10 until its PRIME time :)
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:

[XPERIA X10 General] pyromatic18:
I love how fluid the whole UI is, this could be the phone that converts the iOS masses to Android!

I wonder if the X10 will ever see ICS...
[XPERIA X10 General] fcb1:
haha theres a big bald head in the reflection. and which phone do you think would be better, nexus prime or sgs2??
[XPERIA X10 General] Z3US911:
i would go with nexus prime, it got better look,UI.4.0,etc ...:D:D:D

I have meridian installed that I use for my audiobooks. On my other phone I was also able to create a play q and then export it to a playlist. I could then create a shortcut to the playlist on my home screen. I have noticed that music playlist is not in the list of android shortcuts on this phone. Is it because of the music player that is installed? If so, could I remove it and push the one from my old phone over or would it not work? My other phone had a custom 2.3 rom installed.

Hello,

I am using NOVA V8 and flash the huexxx fix

could I use any script to use the G button or the volume button to wake up my phone?

I tried to read the script and tutorial...but i wonder there is no key 95 which correspond to G button. I tried to make a new script for key 95...but it doesn't work at all.

it doesn;t matter to use G button to wake up, but i really want to use other key besides power key to wake up.

sorry for my poor english:)
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
In /system/usr/keylayout edit this file: TWL4030_Keypad.kl (I user root explorer, dont forget to backup!) and change this entry (it is in the bottom for me):

key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED

It worked for me.
[LG Optimus Black] sonic997:
I sorry to tell you that there is NO LINE with key 95 for me.

I tried to add this line "key 95", but it doesn't work at all. any other means?

how about volume key to wake up the phone?
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1210341

more specifically:

# Phone will wake up from hitting the volume rocker

ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=1
[LG Optimus Black] sonic997:
i sorry to tell you that i don;t know how to do so...

Are there any tutorial to change this value?

Besides, I would like to ask whether we can have 2 or more function on one key, such as G button for both camera and power.

THANKS

Thanks

Hey Guys

Am kind of lost At the Gdx instruction thingies

Okay i know how 2 install it

..

So

i have the 2.1 ..

With all the required Stuff

the baseband number...etc

So is it now like always?

P.S: My bootloader is unlocked ..

So again is it like always

install ZIP From either Xrec.. Or CWM??

And about the recommendation 2 install The Linux

is it Safe???????

Completely Safe i mean???

And what are the benefits of Linux + GDX ?

..

your answers are gonna be the reason 2 either install the Rom Or not :/

So please HELP?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proadi96:
I did like this :

1.FULL wipe

2.flash gingerdx v017

3.flash linuxdx

And everything is good :) Is it safe? If you did everything all right its safe :) now with latest gdx with latest linuxdx i have=NO LAG AT ALL, EVEN WITH MANY APPS INSTALLED AND LOW RAM! ! i really easily recommend it to you;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javierock:
If you read carefully GingerDX v014+ requires CWM for install it, for v013- versions you can install with xRecovery.

And GingerDX is safe, little bugs in some versions but with solution in almost all.

In my opinion the battery drain is the most important issue, with the Governor in ONDEMAND my battery drains just in the night 20%, that's a lot. Now, with Smartass, the battery drains just 3% over night.

I don't know about the performance with LinuxDX Kernel. I can't help you with that.

I'm sure that in the respective post you can get more information.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rav3n_pl:
Totally wrong order. You should:

1. copy rom to SD

2. flash kernel from PC

3. install rom from X8 recovery

4. full wipe

0 - make backup :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proadi96:
Hehe, sory but i did that and it worked so i just post what i did ;) maybe some1 will use it ;) but hey i have a question , how to enter recovery? Coz when i boot my phone there is no Sony Ericsson logo , just after start up after black screen there gigngerdx logo appers so how to enter recovery?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sira.:
Guys for the love of God don't Get me confused ..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codfreak:
Just flash the kernel,ater that do afull wipe, and then flash the ROM in CWM-Recovery.

And if it´s not stable, flash stock ROm with stock kernel again and flash ONLY GingerDX without the Kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sira.:
Dude

while flashing the Linux

it stopped ..

And told me 2 tick the God damn USB debugging !!

DAMN I FORGOT 2 TICK IT BEFORE :(!!

And the phone now won't Go ON..

At ALL !!

it just shakes ..

Then nothin

Am trying 2 Fix it with Sony ericsson update service

But the installation is STUCK!

completely it won't Work..

..

Damn????
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProXperia:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emannxperia:
Or the battery is low.. it happened to me once when flashing my gf's x8. It took a while for me to realise it. Lol. Just a suggestion, based from my experienced.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rav3n_pl:
KERNEL - this you flashing using FlashToll from PC

ROM - zip file that you installing from CWM or xRecovery

Proper order (I assume that bootloader is unlocked already):

1. Make backup of apps using TitaniumBackup then xRecovery or CWM

2. copy new ROM to SD

3. turn on USB debugging

4. disconnect USB cable

5. shut down phone

6. run FlashTool and press "flash"

7. press and hold "back" button in phone and plug in USB

8. wait for flash is done ("flash complete ... disconnect ...")

9. disconnect USB

10. turn on phone and start tapping screen to enter CWM

11. using CWM menu install custom zip

12. do full wipe

13. reboot

14. wait.... it can take up to 5 mins

15. install Titanium and restore apps

If it will not run you just flash back stock kernel, then seus for stock rom, root it, install xrecovery or cwm and restore backup.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amoskas:
Hi,

I have rooted HTC Legend with Alpharev S-OFF.

I want to return the phone to the carrier because I have a problem with the touch screen.

I understood that S-OFF cancels the warranty, but when I return to stock ROM (RUU_Legend_HTC_ISR_2.05.461.52_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_140015_signed.exe) the HBOOT remains Alpharev S-OFF.

Anyway to flash the original 0.43 HBOOT over it?

Thanks.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitmax117:
since you have alpharev hboot now (1.00) you can't downgrade, you can however upgrade to 1.01, just download the latest ruu and try installing that
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amoskas:
According to the warranty, any software update I make, which is not made by the carrier, revokes the warranty, so either way - having S-OFF HBOOT 1.0 or having S-ON HBOOT 1.01 (The option you gave) - I can't repair it through the carrier..

Thanks anyway:)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitmax117:
you can install the one i gave you so you have hboot 1.01 S-ON, and then you install the one of your carrier

should be possible
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amoskas:
It will work, but the HBOOT will remain 1.01, and not 0.43.. So they will probably see that I did install a software on the phone.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitmax117:
Since we can't downgrade our hboot, you are stuck on S-OFF alpharev (1.00) or on

S-ON hboot 1.01

If you are going to send in your phone do it with s-on, i bet they dont even look at the hboot version, but if they do you better have s-on

Hi guys,

do you have any info on the launch date of Defy+ in India? It's the 7th of Oct already & there's no word on Defy+'s launch in India!!

Been waiting for this phone for so long now...
[Defy General] rapidreinsta:
May be market is kept deficient of products on purpose by all companies...who knows..buy it online from somewhere you'll grow old waiting for it
[Defy General] gamefrk:
It hasn't been launched here at all, hence it isn't available online too :( .

When it comes to technology/gadgets it sucks big time to be in India, we gotta wait longer than European/American countries for the same thing & pay a lot more too :(.

PS: Anyone got any info about the launch date of Defy+ in India? Is it gonna be de-blurred here?
[Defy General] rapidreinsta:
You should be able to get it shipped to India from a US based e-store... shipping might add a significant amount to the cost.
[Defy General] Adityaak:
there will. never be the blur version in India or for India. m also waiting for defy+
[Defy General] qaqarox:
Waiting for the defy+ too.

Maybe the original defy is selling too well for Motorola to launch the updated version?

Prices for the original defy haven't come down from 15k since quite some time. Sign if popularity perhaps?
[Defy General] abirokz:
"m also waiting for Defy+ to launch in India..!
[Defy General] gamefrk:
I have more than enough money for the Defy+ &a 32GB SD card, the only reason I'm not buying the old Defy is because it has Android 2.2.

I'm not comfortable with flashing the device either. There are too many issues with the phone even after flashing, stock ROM seems to be a safer option.

What is getting on my nerves is that there is absolutely NO info on the Defy+'s release in India. I've scoured Google, Twitter etc for this & found diddly squat :mad:. Talk about keeping their consumers in the dark, Motorola scores a perfect 10 there.

PS: Are you sure about the de-blurred version of the phone? Was the old Defy also de-blurred?
