[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Backedup the stock games by rooting then moving the apk from system/app to the SD card. Once I flashed to generic I reinstalled it using that apk. Use the set InstallLocaton trick to clear up internal space.

You can still root the generic with zerg.

I still get the H+ and didn't notice any change in speeds. Still as fast as with stock.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
You still get the "H" logo but, if you look closely, the "+" is gone. I'm told that it's still H+ regardless. :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turfreijer:
Hello everybody,

I'm stuck with a big problem. I downloaded and installed bash on my transformer and mv /system/bin/sh to sh0 and linked sh > bash as described in a thread on this website.Then I changed the bash file with an other bash version and that didn't work. Well, that's not a problem because my transformer was rooted at the time. Next day I got the automatic update to the newest version and my transformer was not rooted anymore. No I can't change any system files anymore to fix the shell. This also means I can't root anymore with adb because it gives an error that it can find 'sh', because it's linked. Is there a way to change the system files without rooting? Or do I have to flash to stock? I tried factory reset but that didn't change nothing.

The error I get when doing "./adb shell" is "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -"

Thanx for any help.

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormwyrm:
You really need to root your Transformer first. If it were possible to change system files without root then there would be no point to the root privilege.

I think it should still be possible to root your Transformer again, depending on the serial number. I have a B70 and I managed to regain root in short order after accidentally pushing the button for the OTA upgrade to .21 two weeks ago.

One other thing... My Transformer is rooted, but I seem to have lost bash after the 8.6.5.21 update. I use the shell a lot and have gotten used to bash after years on GNU/Linux. How does one get it back?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turfreijer:
But rooting is gonna be a problem when I can't use 'adb' commands.

I tried rooting allready and everytime it gives an error about not being able to find the shell. This is offcourse normal because the rooting script can't acces the shell since I linked it to a bash version that is not working...;-)

I use bash also on linux, since that's the only system I have on all my desktops/laptop.From my linux experience since 1996 I know that you can't change systemfiles when you're not root but I was hoping that the Transformer or android had some trick/secret.

That leaves me then with flashing to the stock rom?

Because the factory reset also didn't do the trick...

This thread is about installing bash on android: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537827

thanx
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Could also just buy BTEP, as far as getting bash is concerned and you shoukd generally not screw with the systems she, as opposed to installing bash as bash.

If you had CWM you could make anbuodate file to flash, I'm sure.

When ICS comes, it should be root able unless the method used currently gets fixed, rooting the Prime in 4.0.3 is a snap (but does requirebadb).

If you can use nvflash, there is always a way out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
^This.

I've been using Better Terminal Emulator Pro (BTEP) since I got my OG Droid 2 years ago, I love it. It sounds like you need to nvflash to flash a clean rom and then re-root.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gls9:
In Terminal Emulator you can specify the shell command. Can you not change this to /system/bin/sh0 en try to start the original sh ?

Just delete all your contacts on the phone and only use your google account to resync them. If your asking how to delete them, well wipe data/factory reset will do the trick,, but have everything backed up beforehand.

TIA!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormwyrm:
I have two, and both of them have power buttons that are solid, as are the volume buttons. If exchanging it is an option, I think that's a good idea. I don't think you'd want to find one day that you are unable to turn the thing on because the power button's come completely loose or something.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripsyk:
My power button is slightly loose as well. I work at Best Buy, and our demo model is slightly loose too. I think it's just luck of the draw. I doubt it will ever pop off or anything, but it's definitely not as tight as the volume knockers on some models.

Same here, my power button is slightly loose too. Bought it a couple weeks ago, B70 SBK2.

Works on arc and arc s

As they write:

Any modification implies a tad of risk and I am not responsible for any failure that may occur on the phone, but if done right, do not have to have any problem.

It requires:

- Be Root.

- RootExplorer or analog.

Installing the camera:

1. Make a backup of the original and SemcCameraUI.apk CameraExtensionPermission.apk found in system / app / root with the explorer, to have backup in case something goes wrong.

2. Download the modified files I uploaded the zip and unzip in the sd of the phone.

5. Copy the two files modified in the root system explorer /

3. Change the permissions of both files, must be attached as the catch below *.

4. Move the two files to system / app / replacing the original.

5. reboot

*. Permits:

http://s3.subirimagenes.com:81/imagen/previo/thump_70163941.png

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
Sorry, in my oppinion, if the qualities are almost the same why do we need it to be the lager size instead of the smaller?

Larger size = larger memory we need = longer time to upload or send via bluetooth.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] windmoon:
If my memory correct,

Someone already said use with Camera360 the file size is bigger, however the quality nothing improvement, someone point out this is becoz of the camera driver issue, the driver compress the image

So someone said the key point is the SE, I use X10 and Arc

The X10 enlarge the photo is better then Arc, and the X10 take the photo size is bigger than Arc by the stock cam app

So the driver issue may be true

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
I'm pretty sure the compression has been reduced in this. In low light, at 100% crop the pictures do look noticeably better.

What this mod has bought to light though is that people spent months complaining about the compression levels, and now someone has helped to fix that to some extent, nobody can tell. Makes you wonder......

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tinyXperia:

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] NeoCream:
I guess the limiting factor resides in the two library

- libmmjpeg.so (is used for compression)

- libcald*.so (is used for postprocessing)

Some guy over at the Xperia Neo Forum already tried his luck on improving the camera quality.... so far with no luck... but he gives a really nice description about the whole issue.

Maybe someone in here has good enough programming-skills to lend that dude a helping hand.

Its like in photoshop

Higher image compression = lower image quality

Lower image compression = higher image quality

u almost cant see it because the difference is minimal, but still an improvement

sorry for my english lack
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] dc26919568:
Thx mate, Great Job

It great that U remove the JPEG compression problem..it make image better w/ less artifice...

I am using Neo..tho...

For general users, U may not note the reasons for removing the compression...however, it will be always better to hv less compressed one for post process...also...for low light...less noise will be resulted from compression...

Well...maybe now its time for Dude U to try on modifying the lib(s) for better post process , say Increase the contrast a bit...change the sharpness add in...

Wait for your next great work
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bassie112:
Hmm, the size is still decent so I will keep this mod. Still I can't tell the difference. The best way to test this is to use manual settings, identical low light conditions and a static setup so the phone is fixed (can't do that myself). Then compare the 100% crop of detailed areas. If that doesn't show improvements then this mod has practically no use.
