[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zivonche:
Hello

I am Using KANGYS ICS rom

1. i would like to increase the display DIM level or disable it

2. i would like to rise the lowest level of the brightness in the Auto mode

i found out that the voodoo color go crazy in low brightness

so i want the auto min level will be 10%+ instead of 0%

the option exit in CM7 so there is probably a file that can be edit to the new values

Thanks for any help
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zivonche:
anyone ?

still waiting for someone to response
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
Try looking in framework-res.apk/res/values/arrays.xml There should be an array called autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues or something like that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zivonche:
thanks but this path or file does not exists in this APK file
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
Did you use apktool to decompile the file?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zivonche:
hey sorry i didnt update

yes as soon as i decompile i found it

now for some reason i get an error compiling it back with APK manager

is there other manager to compile APK easily?

I tried Launcher 7. It's really, really cool. Having used a Windows phone only briefly in the past I would recommend it unless there is a better solution out there somewhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superbeast0:
Finaly got a white phone returned. Another tech at a different store beat me to the punch but I thought I would post the pics.

In case you cannot tell it is a white screen with the original black back(I dont like the silver one) and a white battery cover.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
I don't like the silver either, but that's too much black :P looks good tho
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superbeast0:
also here is the inverted option, code named Raider Nation ET4G:

Hehe so much for waiting 60 days from release to start harvesting :p

Just teasing...i actually did the same thing yesterday ;) i rocked the all white for a while, but the two-tone is just too cool. I'm a ska-head too, so two-tone fits lol. Now if only i had a checkerboard battery cover....

Also, i asked my SRSS, and he confirmed that since it's a new SKU, the 60 day rule applies...and then proceeded to inform me that so long as we got the return box sealed on Sunday, auditors won't be able to see it on Monday lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superbeast0:

How would I go about replacing the screen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjmcmillion:
wow those look great super ! i need to get my hand on some parts now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
are you asking where to get a screen, or how to replace the screen?

As far as where, you'll have to do some searching around. Sprint techs like us have the luxury of harvesting screens off returned phones (normally used for repairs)...but epic screens are generally so far and few between i doubt you'd find a tech willing to sell one to you.

If you're asking how, that's easy. Unscrew the six screws underneath the battery cover. Then using a really thin piece of plastic or even your fingernails, begin to pry the area where the bezel meets the glass down both sides and the top (the bezel-back-frame almost fits like a cap on the screen). Then just lift the bezel-frame from the screen in an out then down motion (basically, the top separates first, then you'll have to go down and out to get the bottom part off; you don't want to pry the bottom part straight out so as not to damage the charging port). During this, you'll likely see your headset jack move with the frame, that's ok because it moves pretty freely inside.

Once inside, you'll see two flat Phillips head screws, unscrew those. You won't need to unscrew the third tiny one in the upper right hand corner. There are several cables (3 or 4) that are plugged into ports, just unplug them, nothing fancy. Just make sure you look closely so you don't miss one. Then, the motherboard (which is roughly shaped like an "L" ) just lifts up. Reverse directions to put in a new screen. Easy squeezy lemon Japanesey.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Never heard it that way before LOL

I've always heard it "Easy peasy, lemon squeezy"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
How much do I have to pay to get my phone to look like the one In The first post
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Lol, me as well, first time i heard it was on an episode of hey Arnold. Then i heard Japanesey, so now i just combine them lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
You'll have to wait until someone sells a screen on eBay, we (sprint) can't sell you one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Might be easier to just mask off the phone & paint it to your liking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
its smooth.

also, the tech at my store is planning on getting the white E4GT, removing the gray, and painting it (he hasnt decided on red or blue). depending on how that goes, i may be doing the same. a nice candy apple red with some metal flake in place of the gray would be gorgeous IMO. i think the gray looks like cheap, crappy plastic

EDIT: ill post back with pictures once he's done, and if i do mine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
If painting your phone makes you wary or one lacks skills to attempt such a task I believe you can also purchase self adhesive colored skins as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
lol you know thats not the same thing. or we'd all just skin our cars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
Is that an i670 I see laying in the background?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Well I wouldn't paint my car either but skinning it would be easier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
What do I search on eBay?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
...what you're looking for? A white epic 4g touch screen and battery cover...though i doubt any are there yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superbeast0:
i570 :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superbeast0:
The only prob with painting, is if you get ANY little bit of overspray the housings may not go back together. Also any modifications such as the one I did voids your warranty, as does rooting your phone. This is a fairly straight forward change, but one false step while removing the ribbon connections could spell a bricked device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I like the Raider Nation one myself. Good thinking guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] random45:
I don't like it at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
thank you, that is very sound advice. i work in a tech center, where we ALL have rooted and/or physically modded phones. we are well aware of the consequences. but excellent advice for those not aware of such things. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
So if one were to go the painting route, could just get a black frame (since it would be cheaper and more available) as long as you used some kind of white primer for brighter colors? Any chances a sprint tech could post some pictures next time they crack open one of our phones to show what kind of ribbon and process we are talking about. Or at least the steps to safely open one.

I would love a blue and white phone and have nothing but time. Would very much be interested in doing this project :) Even thinking of spraying my battery cover tomorrow

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I have a problem. When putting the phone back together, how do you get the top part of the phone with the headset jack to close in completely? I get most of the screen to snap in but, that little part with headset jack won't close up and it's irking me like crazy.

EDIT: Nevermind~ I got it to close eventually. Just took a little extra push :) Now I really love the look of my phone!

My newest custom housing which is quite similar to superbeast0's housing :

hybrid 1 by kane_kosugi2001, on Flickr

hybrid 2 by kane_kosugi2001, on flickr

I call this the hybrid mod. It's easy, since there is minimal work by just swapping parts without messing with the front housing and mainboard. Please keep in mind that you will void your warranty by opening the housing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I'm getting a white Epic 4G Touch in the mail, and funny enough I used to be a Sprint tech for a while, so opening it up should be no problem. But I gotta ask, how did you paint the silver trim white? I like the all-white look instead of the white and silver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NaeNegriTech:
I swapped my husband's white LCD and back for black, and I keep doing double takes. It looks like a giant iPhone at a glance.

Love the all white, btw. That looks clean!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hot0m:
When you open up the housing start from the bottom and slowly work your way around the edge. During reassembly, start from the top as the metal trim around the headset port may give you problems. No painting, involved. The white is the underlying color of the plastic therefore it took a few hours of sanding to remove all silver then buffed using compound and a polishing wheel. The buttons and crevices were challenging. I preferred the clean white look of the housing and the black border around the screen. The silver made it appear as an afterthought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hot0m:
Thank you NaeNegriTech. Someone actually once offered me $40 for my housing. Now I used a black ballistic case.

[HTC Sensation] hal752:
Im not too sure whats happened but after flashing the ICS roms my sensation XE thinks its a Sensation. In phone identity it just states sensation and the model number z710e.

IS this just due to the rom or have a messed somthing up?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It's just a line in an xml file that is displayed in settings. If you want it to say sensation xe with beats audio z715e then flash an XE Rom
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Probably just a line in build.prop, which you can edit if you really want to.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
That is one of three lines that need editing but the other 2 are set in /system/customize/CID/default.xml and are only loaded on first boot so really best thing to do is flash an XE ROM or a ROM that has XE support

Ok,

So i create a folder, on the home screen, to place all my games in, and another for all my different apps, all categorized. But after a while they seem to dissapear out of the folder. there still in the main menu area, but the shortcut in the folder is gone. i will add a couple back in there, then others will be gone after a little while, like an hour or so give or take...

any suggestions.

it mainly happens in the games folder, i have about 16 or 17 games when it starts to happen...

Copy them in the folder:

of the android source. Then source the build environment by the command ". build/envsetup.sh", type "lunch", choose your device and finaly type "make". Your images and zip files will be created in the folder

If you do not understand anything from what I've just said, then get some info first on how to compile android your own. The wiki of cyanogenmod was a good starting point for me.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Edit: Stupid me. Somehow didn't see the existing threads for the updates. I do have a few questions though.

1) In order to keep root, I have to use voodoo OTA rootkeeper? But is the root stable for the update?

2) Do I have to remove all traces of rooting before I apply the update? I.e. unrooting and doing a factory reset on the phone to reset system configurations.

3) Is the update worth it? Or if it just does what is described in https://rsddownload.motorola.com/download/Motorola_RAZR_Software_Update-IRD.pdf, it seems kinda useless. Unless there's an increase in speed and stability, or something that makes it worth doing.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
:/ well its up to you, but as for keeping root and it being stable after the update and being restored by ota root keeper its stable :D. its up to you though. i do feel some improvement in the camera quality
[Motorola Droid RAZR] feitingen:
I think that as long as you didnt remove bloatware, you should be fine.

I don't know about keeping root, but I saw people rerooting with no problems.

Personally, I haven't updated, but I'll do it as soon as i get home as I'm currently on a satellite link which is too slow to get the update :(

I saw some of the source code for webtop 2.0 was released on sourceforge around the beginning of january, maybe that's something that will be included?

Again, only speculation, I'll let you know when I tried.

FIXED

- Flashed AT&T 2.3 PREPUDDING

- Flashed Recovery atrix

went to recovery and used a previous backup to get the PDS partition and boot partition.

after that i just recovery a complete previous backup and everything worked.!

i have my atrix back! :D

Problem :

I have an AT&T Atrix 4G, i unlocked the bootloader and was running ICS Alpha from photon team... i decided to install the last alpha today and went to the Recovery (i had the latest CWM-Atrix one)... and while sleepy i dont know know why i went to repartition my internal memory part and pressed it on 0 thinking it wouldnt do anything... big mistake. (in others word i used Tenfars CWM to format and partitoin and i set it to 0)

It rebooted and showed me

PwrReason: SW_AP_RESET

1: RDS

2: FASTBOOT

3: NVFLASH

...

15: Recovery

and when i tried to go recovery it said

MAGIC VALUE MISMATCH

Reading ODM Fuse:1

Trying to be smart about it (which i'm not apparenty)

I decided to flash a SBF using RSD Lite, so i flashed

1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.SBF

which flashed ok but now i get the Moto RED LOGO first and doesn't say it has an unlocked bootloader above it like it used and then, it goes to the AT&T logo(retchink possibilities or smth like that).. then reboots!

I can still get to the menu pressing low volumen button but i don't want to do any more damange since i don't want to brick it!

What should i do?

Should i flash a ATT 2.3.4 PREPUDDING PREROOT sbf?

Should i start hitting my head to the wall and cry?

Thanks in advance!

PD : What im thinking on doing

- FLASH ATT 2.3.4 PREPUDDING SBF

- FLASH CWM recovery

- Do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035228&page=4 to recover the PDS partition.

- And hope for the best.

anybody see any problem with it?

I have a normal tv with video in/out ports. Is it possible to connect SGS2 to a normal tv (not a HD one) using the MHL cable? I have seen a video on YouTube where someone has connected the Galaxy S with a cable in 3.5 mm audio port of the mobile to a tv set for a video output. Will this be possible with SG2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dharmil007:
AS far as i know this is not Possibile in Galaxy S2.

U can connect ur HD TV with HDMI Cable, but not standard TV with 3.5mm Jack.

i Dont know why SAMSUNG hasnt given this feature on GS2, it would be great if that feature was there.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jasraja:
Thanks for your reply. Can I connect to a non HD tv (normal tv) using HDMI/MHL cable?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dharmil007:
i suppose yes.

U can connect to any TV that has a support for HDMI. {not sure though}
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jasraja:
I don't think non HD tv's have support for HDMI. Only HD tv's have I suppose.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dharmil007:
But u could always use a VGA to HDMI adapter & then connect GS2 to the TV
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jasraja:
Thanks I will try this.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LoTableT:
Really exist?...O_O thanks 4 info....i'm gonna search this...:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ctomgee:
MHL outputs a digital signal.

Standard TVs that do not have HDMI, with RCA jacks, take in an analog signal.

Something needs to convert the signal, so you need a Digital to Analog Converter, or DAC.

Probably because it would take more hardware to do so. Which increases production costs, and would have made the phone larger. There is a ton of stuff crammed into the phone as it is. It is basically a pocket sized computer.

If you can afford this phone, how can you not afford a TV that has an HDMI input?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Omega Frost:
I connected the MHL cable to a VISIO 720p television and it didn't work, I suppose that MHL sends 1080i/p signals only and your television must, at least, be able to handle this resolution and rescale it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ctomgee:
Not true. Any tv with an HDMI input will work. Doesn't have to be 1080i/p. Did you plug in a power source?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Omega Frost:
Yes, I just got a complete greenish screen. On the other hand all FullHD capable televisions I tested worked perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ctomgee:
Huh. That's very weird. There shouldn't be an issue with plugging it into a 720p. In fact, I don't think the video output will even be 720p, let alone 1080i/p, unless the output is a video that is that resolution.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Omega Frost:
I think either the GS2 or the MHL adapter will upscale the image to 1080 regardless the resolution supported by the TV. But it's in fact weird because HD ready should support at least 1080i.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] barisahmet:
I have seen mini-USB to composite output cable (audio -left and right seperated- and S-Video output cables) for SGS2 on a shopping site but couldn't remember which one now. So it must be possible.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ctomgee:
That could be. I can't test, as it works on I everything own... I don't own a TV or monitor that is less than 1080p.

I have my doubts about this - at least, the part that it was for an SGS2. MHL is a digital signal. S-Video is analog. So either the cable was REALLY expensive, or maybe they were trying to pass off a micro-USB to S-Video cable that it (falsely) works for the SGS2? Or it was actually for an SGS1?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erzyk:
The green screen on MHL/HDMI output happens, because of non HDCP compliant TV. All content that we get out of the USB to HDMI adapter is copy protected (HDCP).

I noticed this while I wanted to connect it to as HDMI to SDI converter. Also no capture card will accept this signal. Only HDCP TV and monitor will work.

I'm trying to figure out now how I can get 1080p desktop and gallery output.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] darki00:
MHL on normal TV

I read HDMI on "normal" TV (not HD) works if you use VGA adaptator.

A person on the forum i saw, gives a links to buy one and it was 40$ (For MHL adaptator + VGA adaptor that you need to input in the MHL)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ctomgee:
Link? (I'm just curious)

My point above, is that the standard MHL adapter is only like $15. So it would be an additional cost to get ANOTHER adapter to plug that into a TV without an HDMI input. So $40 for that whole get-up would be more expensive. Less expensive than I thought it would be, but still more.

And based on what erzyk says in post 17, there is no guarantee this would work due to standard TVs not being HDCP compliant. But I'm just speculating.

Someone could buy this $40 mystery cable and test it out, I guess. It's just not gonna be me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] darki00:
MHL VGA

I'm agree with you it's very expensive (and i'm not going to buy this thing for 48$)

Here the link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...B-VGA-adapter-MHL-hdmi-HDMI-VGA-/320804899833
