[Bada Software and Hacking General] Rogas:
Hello everybody. I have just found this very interesting forum...

As from title, I have just upgraded my ROM and forgot to backup some important files. I.e., I had many notes written down on the mini diary. Even if I think the mini diary data might be now overwritten, I would like to know for the next times if there is a way for gaining "disk" access to the OSP (hidden) partition. With "disk" access I mean being able to see the partition as a disk for using prohgrams like GetDataBack or Active File Recovery to restore any deleted file...

The reason I would like to do that is because usual programs, i.e. WaveBackup, are only able to backup not deleted files, as you know. Beside that, WaveBackup gives me an error message saying "could not retrieve..." a certain file, several times.

I'm aware that way would mean booting up from another partition or, anyway, accessing the OSP partition in an alternative way in wich Bada boot up should be avoided...

Thanks for any response or opinion
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Use Kies Backup function that came with bada 2.0 ;)

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Sorry.

You can only backup exisiting files.

There are NO Software Tools available, to restore overwritten/erased stuff from memory.

Handset is more complex/complicated as USB Memory Stick... you have NO direct access to "OSP partition"...

:o

Next time FIRST Backup.

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Rogas:
Unfortunately I'm still using Bada 1.2. Thanks for advising, I'll search for knowing about it ;)

It's a pity to know :( Thanks anyway. I'll surely remember, the next time :)

Bye!

Guys, search around..

Ther are several TUT´s..

[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Hey guys,

I had to send in my phone for repair, USB slot completely messed up, phone wouldn't shut down, it said it was charging when nothing was plugged in, PC wouldn't recognise etc

OK, here's why im not happy:

My unlocked XEU SGS2 has been returned with:

1. Locked (to a network I don't use or never have - T.MOBILE)

2. It has a product code I've never had, certainly not XEU

3. Boot screen animation for T-mobile

4. Auto Brightness is VERY low (I've only ever used auto, and this one is wayyyy too low on auto)

I've flashed UK XEU 2.3.4 which I know is the latest for my region, this has removed the boot screen animation. (Browser still has loads of T-Mobile bookmarks though which is strange, after flashing an unbranded firmware)

I phoned my network (orange) for an unlock code, as this phone was factory unlocked on purchase & told them its been in for repair & is now locked. (They said I should receive it via email in 3-4 days aagghhhh)

As for auto brightness issue, I'm lost. I flashed the speedmod kernel to see if it was stock T-Mobile kernel that was messed up, and auto brightness is the same. very very low indeed.

As for changing product code back to xeu, I thought my unbranded firmware would allow me to do this, but even with the *#272 IMEI code, I still only received the one option which is something like TPU or something. (I forget)

im happy they have fixed my phone, but sending it back locked when it is a factory unlocked model, with a different product code is annoying me.

Some advice please.
[Galaxy S II General] coincoinlapin:
Hi,

My phone is also under repair and they've lent me another i9100, which is...different.

The auto-brightness is also much lower, but the display is better overall (no banding at all, out of the box).

On the other hand the GPS isn't half as good and takes much longer to get a fix.

In other words, get me MY i9100 back (fist batch, I guess, since I got it the day it came out).
[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
Hate to be stating the obvious, but are you sure they returned the same phone?
[Galaxy S II General] mikedavis120:
I would call them up and get ahold of someone that can help you. That's not acceptable in any way. I would demand a replacment. Being as how by there actions they have forced you to void your warranty if you choose to reunlock it and change roms. I would advise being nice to the people who help you out. It's safe to say its probably not there fault. Depending on how many lines you have, a solid threat of termination of contract could start to swerve them towards making it right.

I would seriously see what they can go though, be it new phone or a bill credit or early upgrade.
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
First thing I checked was my IMEI & it matches.

But I still think its a new phone, even my screen protector was removed and there's no need for them to do that, a screen cannot be opened up.

Hopefully the unlock code orange will send will fix it, & I'm sure I will still be able to change the product code back to XEU, but as for the auto brightness, I'm not sure if its fixable.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
There are more than one "batch" of screens, if you use voodoo screen tuning r&d from the market you can see which one you have, as they each seem to have a different brightness curve and Gama leveles.

Its possible your new screen is different to your old one.
[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
I've read somewhere that newer S2 batches have lower overall brightness than earlier ones, so it's possible that the auto-brightness setting wasn't calibrated accordingly. Someone in here posted a way to modify the auto brightness values, can't find that topic though.
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
ok,

phone is now fully debranded, no t-mobile boot screen, no t-mobile bookmarks & now on XEU UK product code. :D

My only problem now, is the very low auto brightness (although, at first glance it now looks better now its been fully debranded, will look into it, hopefully its now sorted) and the fact they have sent back a network-locked phone to replace the factory unlocked model i sent in.

Orange BTW want £20 to unlock my phone, i told em to stuff it as i had a factory unlocked model a fortnight ago, i now await samsungs reply.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
If you are rooted, you can possibly unlock for free :)

I got my code out of the phone using the method posted in the dev forum that I assisted odia with testing
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
LOL pulser, that post doesnt even make sense to me.

hash codes and hex editors lol. EH? :confused:

LMAO :rolleyes:

I tried Chainfires unlock app, it didn't find an unlock code. :(
[Galaxy S II General] bungknees:
My phone is being fixed now for the exact same issue, they told me if its a hardware issue then it would be replaced. Hope they don't give me a refurbished one. Also I hope they don't notice the custom kernel counter in download mode, because the USB jig didn't work due to the stuffed USB connection. Thanks to mobile Odin I was able to flash back to stock though. Thank you Chainfire.

Edit: To OP, I hope that isn't your knee in your avatar.
[Galaxy S II General] PurpleFries:
That app failed for me too but galaxy_s unlock by helroz on the market worked for me. Give it a shot
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Its a hardware issue yeah, I think they have replaced all the guts in mine, I think only my back cover & button are the same (only things left with protectors on)

I wouldn't worry about the custom count, mine was on zero but mine had villainrom (including Vr boot screen) and ninphetamine kernel installed, they still fixed it. (Sort of ... it is locked to a network I can't use lol)

Good job they did, as I wasn't aware of a mobile Odin, and there was nothing I could do with the USB slot knackered. :)

And yes, that 'was' my knee.
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
I've heard that app can be dangerous... ?
[Galaxy S II General] bungknees:
Nice injury, and I thought my xray was bad.
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
galaxy_s unlock by helroz,

I'd heard some bad things about this app.... but sod it, I tried it. :)

IT WORKED!!

it didn't give me a code, it just rebooted my phone - but my orange sim is now working, and my IMEI is safe and correct.

So...

I'm now on latest UK unbranded firmware, with XEU product code, no T-Mobile boot screen or branding at all, & its now unlocked.

Perfect! :)

Amazing work DooMLoRD! :D

hopefully u guys can test out and report more issue/bugs so that the ICX team can specifically look into resolving/fixing those...
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
cool will test. 1 last thing sorry was the leaked rom a tft and if so was it corrupt like the last leaked arc or is it in a flashable state we have about 7 plays around us 1 we have for mad testing stuff like this
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well... lets just say the files posted here are the final thing ;)

it took me few hours to get most of the data out from those file... and those files wouldnt have worked on normal/retail Xperia PLAYs anyways...

thanks for your work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
At this moment in time this application just brings up a list of your installed applications for you to place on the launcher however I think a possible drag and drop solution could be worked on :)

This application can be viewed in portrait or Landscape however Landscape is recommended to get the full and recommended look for it :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
when are you going to release the launcher?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
In around 3 days. Still more testing and modifications to do :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Updated the post :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
ok thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
just my opinion but i myself would prefer this sony leaked ics to stay as much sony as it can.

Are you making a working semi offical sony ics rom or making a custom ics?

i am just saying but maybe putting time in fixing the stuff thats not working is more productive then changing stuff that does. take cyanogen for example they they did not concentrate on the day to day stuff (touchpads) and look how many people go back to stock and are not intrested.

p.s love the games launcher but would like to see it as an addon not a replacement.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
I started to develop this when I was working on ICX AOSP Ports
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
i like the launcher a lot and will be using it the only thing i wanted to get to the bottom of was if this leaked rom was staying sony or being altered so much it would be fully custom.

ps) just an idea but in this games launcher will you be adding anyway to change the backdrop so we can custom it with both are own look and are own games (any).

thanks a lot for your work
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Now with most of the holo icons :)

[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
It depends how DooM is wanting it as its his thread + ROM. However I think most would want the AOSP look so myself and other developers will be doing as much as possible to be making it look the most AOSP as possible :)

as for the game launcher at the moment you can add whatever game+ application you want. As for the look of it I will look into.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
we can have all :)

from what i understand since the base files will be same, we can keep the AOSP look as an addon...

just my suggestion...

and anyway this ROM was leaked so that the devs can enjoy working on it an help community get a nice clean ICS rom for Xperia PLAY, since SE seems to have forgotten abt PLAY for ICS-ALPHA :P...

so whichever way u guys want is fine with me...
[Xperia Play Android Development] ahmfaris27:
I prefer it to be as close to the official firmware as possible.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
Ye I understand.

What I have been trying to do is get the contacts app from AOSP to work on this ROM but have failed. I don't understand why it doesnt work =/
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Dean look at ftp for aosp
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
what is working on the AOSP?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:
Touchscreen

Sound

Maybe more

We where working on it but DooMLoRD released this rom so we stopped
[Xperia Play Android Development] DeanBoro:
oh right. well i think we should just stick to this ROM then since its almost near perfect :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
kindly do not stop ur work...

use the files from this leak to get things working on that ROM :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
have 2.

Stock icx (leaked 4.0.3) = as close to sony as pos

Custom icx (older 1 you guys where working on mixed with this) = every tweek , theme , games launcher you can ram into it

gives people choice stock for the pure and custom for the modders.

i asked in another post but know one seams to know. Are you icx devs working on making this a working stock rom (or close to stock) or are you making a full on custom icx rom which is nothing like stock i know many people like different things and know your making it but things dont seam to be clear. Doom said as an idea making the mods as add on's so people could add if wanted.

(this sounds like you are mashing it together in one rom)

sorry to bother you with this just wanted to be clear on what was being made.

thanks for your work great to see ics on the play
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
works fine for me though i can record it if u dont believe me? but i aint wasting time. so let me know if you want me to.
[Xperia Play Android Development] amansth:
Yeah 3 UK . Nevermind

I'll wait for the official update I guess.

ICs is very cool indeed
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
No need for that ;) Just got to figure out why it's not working for me

Edit: (Note to devs) not sure if it's something I've done, but I noticed in logcat that atdaemon.kl in /system/usr/keylayout was causing some kind of create device loop. Removing that file fixed it (and broke a lot of things) might want to check it out
