Google Wallet has prepaid Google Cards but I can't figure out how to use other then NFC.

That'd be one option. Of like stated above, instead of buying a "Google Giftcard" just purchase a "Prepaid Visa" that are available in every drug store and super market.

Market Cards would run the risk of being exploited and generated... Unless Google treated them as a PREPAID VISA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melp57:
You mean the pre paid visa would be treated just as if you entered your own personal Visa? There is a fee to buy them, but small price to pay for not risking your own card online :) Thanks for the suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Yes,, the prepaid acts as your own card.

Can somebody please download SNESDroid (It's free ) on their ICS Prime and see if you can get a game running. Whenever I try to start a game the audio works fine but the video is just a static glitchy mess. I'd also be useful for somebody still on HC (Unknown Serial Number is coming in useful ) to test it also. I'm not sure but the issue began I THINK around the time I updated to ICS.

Thanks.

Hi, this is my first post on xda so plz take it easy on me, I need people to answer some important questions before I unlock my bootloader. I checked my phone's manufacture date and its good to go.

Please answer all questions.

1) What is the best and easiest way of unlocking the bootloader?

2) After unlocking my bootloader, how do I switch ROMs, Is it like normal or do I need to go back to 2.1 first AND GO BACK TO STOCK KERNEL?

3) Do I need to be on stock ROM to unlock my boorloader?

4) What is the best kernel and ROM combination for you? - PLEASE ANSWER THE POLL ABOVE.

5) Can I Sim Unlock my phone later after unlocking the bootloader?

6) How do I return back to stock kernel?

7) If I go back to stock ROM will my bootloader be locked again?

8) If my phone gets accidentally bricked during bootloader unlock process, can I unbrick it?

Please answer all my questions. And please explain everything as I am a total noob. Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelikp:
YEAH...what the proper prepaired????:cool:

this my answer..

1) look on my signature (easiest guide unlocking bootloader)

2) flash custom kernel and flash rom (no need back to 2.1 or stock)

3) Yes Unlocking with stock rom

4) It depend on U (for me i wanna the rom with the nice and beauty colour one)

I use "TIM3 v1" + "nAa v8b" ( I mean where u wanna go with fast speed?)

5) YES

6) Use flash tool and download stock kernel (search it on XDA)

7) NO -u can unlock by easiest guide (on my signature there)

8) U can't DIY...(if your phone still under warranty send to them)

for me i got 4 times hardbricked and they repair for me without fee

BUT PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS 11W28 BELOW

(see on phone..PULL OUT YOUR BATTERY AND YOU CAN FIND THERE

hope this help
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujeeb999:
1.The easiest way to unlock bootloader is with s1 tool. Just connect your phone with usb debugging on and open s1tool and unlock bootloader.( It might brick your phone, I dont recommend you to unlock bootloader)

2.Unlocking bootloader does not change your rom, If you are on 2.1 then it will not affect it. Switching between roms is very easy, just use recovery.For kernel use flashtool

3.You dont need to be on stock rom to unlock bootloader, it can be done through custom roms also

4.From my opinion alfs v6+gingierdx is great. It is very fast for daily use but not very good for hd games.

5.Dont know:confused:

6.You can always return back to stock kernel using flashtool and stock kernel ftf

7.Your bootloader will not be lock if you go back to stock rom

8.You cant unbrick your phone if it is bricked during unlocking bootloader, you have to send it to sony ericsson for repair
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUnknownCopy:
Thanks very much guys, but I am scared if I brick my device as I can't unbrick it then:(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelikp:
I told u...check the MFC date (pull out your battery)

see the **W** (date of manufactoring)

If '11W28' = 2011 week 28

bellow 11W28 is safe..

Above 11W29 is risky..

but nobody force u to unlocking it..

but (also) some nice and beauty rom need custom rom

it totally can't run on stock rom...that why i got my 4th bricked yesterday..

and got a new X8 today with 11W23....

release my tension because can't unlocking bootloader:cool:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmada:
if u have doubts then better not go for it,der are lot of roms which runs well on stock kernel too ;)

Ya unlocking bootloader is a bit risky!

Be Careful if your planning to unlock it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUnknownCopy:
Thanks guys for your help, I really apreciate it. For me the date is not a problem. However is there a possibility of getting bricked during unlocking the bootloader? Well atleaset has anyone bricked their device by unlocking the bootloader and fix it without sending the phone?

U mean if we go back to stock 2.1 with unlocked bootloader, we get bricked?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken-Shi_Kun:
1) What is the best and easiest way of unlocking the bootloader? From 2nd reply.

2) After unlocking my bootloader, how do I switch ROMs, Is it like normal or do I need to go back to 2.1 first AND GO BACK TO STOCK KERNEL?

You don't need to go back to stock. The unlock won't do a thing with the rom.

3) Do I need to be on stock ROM to unlock my boorloader?

I could only unlock my bootloader from stock 2.1 (tried under GingerDX), but from stock it was easy.

4) What is the best kernel and ROM combination for you? - PLEASE ANSWER THE POLL ABOVE.

For me it's FroyoPro 2.3 ans Alfs

5) Can I Sim Unlock my phone later after unlocking the bootloader?

Can't say... mine was simfree out of the box. (If your phone is not simfree be aware! not all can be unlocked and could cause hard brick)

6) How do I return back to stock kernel?

Just flash back stock kernel file.

7) If I go back to stock ROM will my bootloader be locked again?

No, the bootloader cannot be locked again.

8) If my phone gets accidentally bricked during bootloader unlock process, can I unbrick it?[/B]

At home it is really unlikeley. There are special cables that can do the trick, but they need an expertised technician and a lot of money (for the cable)

Hope it helped for you :)

My phone is a 11W23 white one with cypress and is unlocked. For You what is the best? What You want? Speed, stability, low battery drainage, cool 3D games etc... For me it was little battery use and high speed with a tad of cool UI.. for this FroyoPro 2.3 and Alfs (Alfs is not needed for froyo pro! so no need to unlock only for that)

Other then rooting the device is pretty much stock when it comes to recovery, launcher and kernel.

[Kindle Fire General] brandon.dowling:
Since the carousel uses apk icons that are so large (256x256 i think) and sideloaded apps show up blurry, i have tried decompiling an apk, switching out the png icon, recompliling it then resigning it but for some reason it never works on the device. Either it won't install, or the app will install but will then force close (the icon does show up high-res though!).

I've tried using Formatter, APK Edit, and the APK Multi-Tool Script, but none of them have allowed me to create an APK that will actually run correctly on the KF.

Do you guys have any suggestions on what am I doing wrong? Part of me thinks that it has to do with replacing a low-res icon (72x72 or something like that) with a high res one (256x256) but I'm not sure and am kinda a n00b at altering APKs...

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire General] Buffet_of_Lies:
The high res icons are loaded dynamically from amazon. That's why they seem to take some time to appear on that blasted stock carousel. If you aren't connected to wifi they show up as blank. AFAIK you cannot add them yourself.
[Kindle Fire General] brandon.dowling:
I was talking about sideloaded apps NOT acquired from the Amazon Appstore :)
[Kindle Fire General] kefir500:
APK editor

Did you try APK Icon Editor?

Also, the APK itself can be sort of protected, but most of side-loaded repacked APKs should work.

You can download SGS tools and upgrade your camera through there. The link to SGS tools is in my signature for GPS settings and use the search in the D9 thread to tell you how to do it.

[XPERIA X10 General] BuLLitz:
I recently upgraded my phone to 2.3.3 from 2.1.

After upgrading, my phone no longer detected my 32GB SD.

I spent a lot of time researching the issue and found that most people just went to a smaller card like I did.

I went out and bought a 4GB card.

After loading my phone up with apps and audio and images, 4GB was not enough.

So, here is how I resolved this...

I downloaded HPUSBDisk.exe which is an HP USB format tool.

Copied the content of my 4gb micro to my PC/Laptop.

I inserted my 32GB micro SD into a "micro sd USB adapter"...

Format the SD using the HP USB format tool (FAT).

Copy the contents from the 4GB to the 32GB.

When I placed the 32GB into the phone and powered it up it was now recognized.

:D

[XPERIA X10 General] Deviantelf:
I use a 32gb from Kingston and have no issues. ??? Think maybe it's not the memory size that is the problem. Maybe it got corrupted? I had that problem on a smaller card on a round of back to stock while playing around with ROMs and such. Formatted it on PC and all was fine... think it was 8? Was a while a go. But I've heard of it happening while updating, read about it after I had the issue with the card that came with my x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Stock or Custom kernel?
[XPERIA X10 General] verdazil:
1. X10i officially supports cards by a capacity no more than 16 Gb. However, most cards 32 Gb work normally too.

2. A card can be formatted by standard facilities of Windows, it is important only, that a clustersize was 32 Kb
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
+1 to OP

thank you
[XPERIA X10 General] BuLLitz:
I have an X10a... but whatever.

When I flashed my 32gb SD using Win7, regardless of the cluster size, it would not work in my phone. Period.

I am NOT the only one who has had this problem nor am I the only one who found success in my method.

The 32gb I have in my phone right now, was formatted using the HP Tool at 16kb...

Screw this place... you bunch of pompus jack-wads.

[XPERIA X10 General] Deviantelf:
I'm curious if it's a certain class of cards that cause issues, or if it's certain vendors or brands? Do certain brands format them different and that causes the issue?

I researched what class was supported and bought a brand name (Kingston) that isn't high end but from a reputable business so I knew it wasn't fake. Bought a 32gb class 4 Kingston from Tiger Direct, popped it in and it worked fine. I put it in and tried it before transferring data to it.

I'm definitely not discounting the issue, but finding out WHY the issue is there is what I'm curious about.

Hate to bump up an old-ish thread. But I came across the following article and the pertinent quote from it is "We tested this card on some phones including Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy S2 and even on a year old Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and it works fine"

So it looks like this old dog was still able to use a 64GB micro sdxc card.

But at 110$ USD (cheapest I've found so far)... might not be worth it yet.

We have found a gb kdz from brazil that works on the LG Thrill. I need some testers to confirm this method works as it works for me. In the end you will end up with a baseband on your phone that works with AT&T fully. You will be able to use the custom european gb roms on your phone. It requires a few more steps to accomplish root.

Requirements:

Being able to flash a kdz like the method described here:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920H/ABRAML/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz

v21a: The original euro kdz DO NOT TRY v21b

Step one make sure you are on the froyo baseband if not go here:

I repeat make sure you start on the froyo baseband

Step two flash the v20a kdz following this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287236

make sure after the flash is successful to reboot into recovery and wipe data aka pull battery reinsert it and hold vol down and hit power

Step three flash the v21a kdz following this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287236

Step four Root the thrill with v21a installed(only reason for going from v20a to v21a is to root as v20a is not rootable)

After this you can flash any euro gb custom rom or install the cyanogenmod made for the optimus 3d(Do not use the p925 thrill cm because that is made for the froyo baseband)

Please let me know if this works for you.
