[LG Optimus Black] blatecktonik:
I have a small problem and I'm not entirely clear, is that eh tested in four different launchers and none appears to me Timescape widget. Launch Of course the Sony but not with that eh got to have the widget. Any solution?

Excuse my English, is not all good.

Greetings from Mexico
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
READ the FIRST POST!!!!!...U CANNOT HAVE THE TIMESCAPE WIDGET IN ANY OTHER LAUNCHER OTHER THAN THE SONY HOME!!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[LG Optimus Black] denclaud:
Looks awesome, how about the effect on battery consumption?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Ok, sorry then... i just read it shortly and not exactly enough, as it seems :p strange, that u really need a specific launcher, to be able to use a widget... but anyway, nice work dude :-D
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
Timescape is not very resource hungry. SE MediaScape was very power hungry and so SE removed it from it's cells after the 2.1 x10.

this is the "ARC" Timescape, pretty energy efficient :)
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
yes indeed...this is such a weird dependency :rolleyes: let alone paltry porters me, even DooMlorD was not able to get this working in other laucher :eek::eek:
[LG Optimus Black] apg1980:
has anybody tryed to port the other timescape addons like "musik, pictures, gmail....".

in market its impossible to install because market says its incompatible.

Thanks a log
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
READ the first post!!!...SE Timescape extension from market is working!!!...and there is a nice dev pallavi.kv who makes custom timescape addons.search the market. most of them work. i have tested.
[LG Optimus Black] apg1980:
sorry, you wrote in the first post thats possible to install from market.

my market on the p970 didnt find the timescape adds and the browser one sayd that the adds are not compatible.

it tryed different ways but no success
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
open build.prop in text editor. scroll to "ro.product.manufacturer=LGE" and change it to "ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson". save&exit. reboot.

now u can find them @market
[LG Optimus Black] HHubs:
Timescape app FC

tried a reboot and the build.prop manufacturer edit. :(

help? :(
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
u sure have set the exact permissions???...else it WILL force close
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
When I flash the .zip It install everything fine but I can't get SE Home to work nor the LP, the widgets, Arccamera etc. they are present in system/app though... Please help!
[LG Optimus Black] carvajaljn:
please port for p990 lg optimus 2x
[LG Optimus Black] TheGripper:
Anyone confirmed timescape working in zeus v4b ?
[LG Optimus Black] Maneth:
Thanks achyut for your port : -) i would know if i want unistall timescape + b.a, the method isalways to delete files from .zip or a restore nand for more security?
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
If you have a nand, then its good, if you delete them individually, that too shall cater absolutely no problem to your privacy & security :)

Hope I helped :)
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
its soooo beautiful!!! now i cannot decide which home to use.... lol
[LG Optimus Black] Maneth:
Thanks for your help :)

I think I'll make, if necessary :), a restore because there are many files, and I don't want forget any files !
[LG Optimus Black] YouHieng:

Ah!? I wonder how would the Bravia Engine gonna work with our OB, though i've seen it running on Xperia Neo V it does help improving the image quality.

Will try out the Bravia Engine. :)

[LG Optimus Black] yandevild:
Dear Mr achyut....

how to use Xperia events with widget? I'm use Zeus V4.02b. I try to add a widget, but the xperia widget not in widget list.

Many thanks for your help
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
if u use any other launcher, the TS widget will not work. only shows in the attached SE launcher :)
[LG Optimus Black] fyudha:
hey, i have tried it with CM7 based ROM and it works great!

but just some question:

You already said that this widget is only works with SE Launcher, and i have search in another forum that it's have been confirmed.. but i seen in another phone forum, it's actualy works in another SE Launcher not only Arc Launcher.. But it must launcher from SE (Active Launcher, Mini&Mini Pro, etc). So, i have some idea :rolleyes: to install Xperia S Launcher and tried how it'll be works..

but, the widget didn't come out.. :confused:

my question is, is there a chance to make this timescape widget can work properly in Xperia S launcher? (that we know is still SE Launcher)

and i have some bug (that absolutely is my mistake), after i install xperia s launcher that replacing your arc launcher (LAUNCHER2.apk) and tried to back to your arc launcher, i can't make arc launcher from yours to works...!

i have reflashing the zip still no luck

i have wipe dalvik-cache and still no luck too..

thx for your attention, and sorry for my bad english.. :)
[LG Optimus Black] dieselman6969:
i don´t see any difrences about bravia engime...
[LG Optimus Black] TheGripper:
10 chars :)
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
i cannot say of the reinstallation problem but of the tiomescape widget on the xperia s launcher, it's havinmg compatibility issues.

there is a pic with and without BE. there is indeed a difference, but it is on the comfortable factor of person to person :)

huh???:confused:

Install android sdk with platform tools + usb drivers , install JDK , download xUltimate :

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html

Plug the phone to the computer with the usb cable, let it install the driver.

Run main.exe from xultimate, then just follow the options on screen. When done add back the apps (from the folders in the xultimate folder ; done_frame / done_app to /system/framework / system/app on the phone) with qtadb when its done (drag and drop with its file manager.)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] droidtwoseven:
thanks buddy. Will this still work even I don't have the phone plugged? I mean ill load the app from the computer itself.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kevinlekiller:
Yea, I think xUltimate works without the phone plugged now (with main_skip.bat). You need to copy the apps to orig_app and the framework stuff to orig_frame.

I forgot to mention that you need to delete the stuff in /system/app and /system/framework before sending the new stuff in. Or else the odex files will stay there.

Edit: And if xUltimate gives you errors about java, go in the JDK folder ( where you installed it) copy everything in the bin folder and paste it in the xUltimate folder.

Anyways, off to sleep, good luck.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xxxMADxxx:
Its better n efficient if phone plug...or u can make to flashable zip n flash via cwm

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] macdomerocker:
a while back (about 3 weeks) i bought me a galaxy player us version 4.0. great player.

love it honestly.

but of course i wasnt satisfied.

so i rooted.

that was two weeks ago.

and tonight. i found myself trying to flash a custom kernel. called

"steves kernel" or something like that. and to my surprise using odin, it worked. rebooted. looked around. and the only thing different was the boot logo. booted to home screen. and worked naturally. wanted to boot into te CWM recovery that came with the custom rom to backup. "obviously was too late". and i backed up and rebooted. and of course. it was stuck in a bootloop. witht he fireworks looking thing. i looked for hours on end. for a stock rom of the 4.0 US version. i found what claimed to be 4.0 but either didnt match the md5 or were intl versions or WTF EVER.

(pretty damn steamed over here)

i unplugged my galaxy from my computer. and it instantly shut off. and now what seems to be a (from my experience with a psp; correct me otherwise) in a full brick. because it wont power on. it wont flash. it wont be recognized in windows. or any OS for that matter. nothing. tried battery pulll. nothing. someone.

please.

anyone.

help.

(also think i could get my money back from bestbuy if all else fails??)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
When posting things like this, post EXACT links to what you actually flashed.

Flashing something without bootloaders in Odin shouldn't have done this.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
try this - xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386669

the unbrickable recovery should be able to get your device back into download mode. when I bricked my player to the point that it wouldn't turn on it was able to save it.

I think it works under windows, download the unbrickable resurrector and the

Samsung bootloaders from the link. you need to have Java runtime installed for it to work too.

open the unbrickable resurrector ".jar" file, and select "galxay player" from the dropdown in the bottom left. plug your player in ane above the text box it should say "device detected." or something to that effect.

now hold the "volume down" button on your player and hit the download mode button in the program. keep holding the download mode button until your device comes on in download mode. if after 5-10 seconds the screen is still black, unplug your player, restart the program and try it again. it took me 4-5 tries sometimes but it always managed to bring it back.

when you do get it into download mode, fire up Odin and flash the player bootloader from the "galaxyplayer-bootloader.zip". make sure to check the flash bootloader box on the left side or Odin. if just the bootloader was screwed up, your device might boot now.. if it gets stuck at the Samsung logo you need to put it back in download mode (power + volume down) and reflash a good rom or recovery rom (not just a kernel). if it doesn't want to go back into download mode you can use the unbrickable process again.

good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] macdomerocker:
i am going to try this method. do you think it will help with my 4.0 though? the tut is for the 5.0.....

this isnt the EXACT link. however this is the exact software i used. (odin was 1.83 i do believe)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] macdomerocker:
yes. however if you have read my problem it is FULLY BRICKED. so i have NO clue on how to get it unbricked. meaning that i couldnt get it to go into download mode if you were here in person. now if you know a way to unbrick me. please say so. THEN i can follow your tutorial.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kehlan:
Has complete stock functionality but subtlety fixes any bugs that would be obvious to the casual user.

My mother's GS2 definitely needs some finishing touches that Samsung couldn't crank out.

Can somebody point me to the best stock-ish ROM in this forum?

Thanks to the people who make good suggestions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
I would say Calkulins rom. Has the stock look and feel but is superior in every category when it comes to the stock rom. I feel it's how the phone should come stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] netban:
I would suggest a stock 2.6 ROM, SpeedMod kernel and Jkays Deluxe.

Also check out CheckROM if you really wanna go down the route of a new ROM :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
please do NOT do any of that. you will probably brick the phone. use calks. its really good and pretty much a stock feel. 2.8.1 is the one u want. the guy above me was suggesting a rom not for the epic. remember just because its an S2 doesn't mean we can flash their roms. stay in our dev section or the phone will likely be done for good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Your going to get alot of different opinions on this topic, but I am going with Calkulin's on this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluejee:
hopefully me chiming in will make your choice easier. I went with Caulkins rom too for my wife. She likes the stock feel and it has that and like everyone else said its superior to stock. I upgraded my modem to el29 which has been the best for me. also if you have gps issues flash the gps driver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
One more vote for Calkulin's Rom. Stock looking with great battery life because of the battery scripts it runs. You don't need to know anything about the scripts, they just run in the background. There are also some really great themes available if she wants to make it pretty. Try flashing different modems until you find the best one. Personally I've had the best luck with EL26 but everyone's results are different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ga101698:
For a stock look I'd say Calks as well. Or you could just root her phone, add Titanium Backup and add and subtract from the stock rom itself........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Yup flash Calkulin and your done. Don't bother with any weird combinations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
I guess you got your answer yeah?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lopezpm:
Just in case, go with Calkulin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kehlan:
Holy hell guys, thanks for the quick response. Now I just have to convince my mom to let me get my hands on that phone of hers! Haha, thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
I'll vote just root what she has and make simple mods. If you do any type of custom rom, anything that goes wrong, you'll have to be her tech support because she'll blame whatever you installed as the issue, true or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] br0ken_shad0w:
Same here. Stock + rooted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MJHawaii:
I agree Calkulins is the best on here if your looking for something close to stock that has speed and performance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
Calkulin's, without a doubt. Put the EL13 modem on it though

Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II with XDA Premium
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
this is what I did for my wife when she first got the phone. Stock EK02, only rooted. I disabled CIQ, used titanium backup to freeze sprint bloatware, and disabled DRM.

I think for the EL29 update, i'll just flash Caulk's ROM (like what everyone is suggesting) so at least she'll have the battery scripts, modded camera app, 5 dock icons, bloatware removed, and little tweaks like that. I would just use titanium back up to make periodic backups to her external SD card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Captain Colon:
My vote (which probably doesn't mean very much as a noob but I just like to be different) goes to BlazerROM. I love the theme and she shouldn't feel particularly lost coming from the stock ROM. I'm running it currently and it's been very good to me.

My current homescreen:

I get about 3 days out of my battery before the meter hits 30% with moderate use (checking facebook a few times a day, Words With Friends, Music player for short trips in the car, etc.) which I think is pretty good considering I always have WiFi on at home (turn it off while travelling unless I know there's a hotspot around). I am extremely anal about killing processes when I'm done with them though, so a casual user may not see the same results.

*E* P.S. if she likes to shop then Google Goggles would probably blow her mind.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Ok this may sound like a dumb question but i have a good reason for asking. Does anyone know, particularly a dev if having more free (available) space on the /system partition has any performance benefits, or any benefit at all? If so i beleive i have found a way for some to free up arround 56mb of space on the /system partition. I dont want to waste time trying though if its not going to be of any benefit, although i may just try it anyways and see for my self. What could possibly go wrong lol.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Ok i tried it and got it to work. Basicly it is another ext4 mod. I'm calling it "ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik_lib_moved". What it does is it takes the unused datadata partition (mtdblock6) you have after using the "ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik" mod, and mounts the /system/lib folder to that unused partition, freeing up arround 56mb (may varry) from the /system partition (mtdblock3). I now have 110mb free on my system partition, although almost half of that free space was from debloating. This seems to make the phone snappier, faster ui load, faster gallery loading, faster smoother menu loading / scrolling, and quicker app loading. This may just be my opinion or the placebo effect. I am still working on getting a flashable going, as soon as i do i will eithet post it in the dev section or i may contact jermaine and see if he will add it to the ext4 thread. Im not the best at scripting, i have the majority done but still need to work out a few things to make it a hands free installation.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
If you want to try it here are the steps. This is the hard way, as i said im workimg on a hands free flashable. Requires adb.

0. MAKE A BACKUP! :)

1. First wipe cache and dalvik-cache then flash this thru recovery and reboot http://dinc.does-it.net/Mods/dalvik_moved_revert.ziphttp://dinc.does-it.net/dalvik_moved_revert.zip. You do not need to do this step if the last ext4 mod you flashed was the "dalvik_moved_revert" in the op of the ext4 thread.

2. Use a file explorer and go to /system/lib and copy every file and folder in the lib folder to /data/data2. If the data2 folder does not exsit create it and reboot and then start with step 2 again.

3. Download the mod and place it on your sdcard somewhere. http://dinc.does-it.net/Mods/ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik_lib_moved.ziphttp://dinc.does-it.net/ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik_lib_moved.zip.

4. Reboot the phone to recovery while connected to the pc. Once in recovery open a cmd prompt on your pc and type "adb shell", once in the shell (#) type "rm -rf /system/lib/*".

5. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache and then flash this mod you downloaded in step 3.

6. Reboot the phone.

You should now notice that the /system/lib folder is on its own partition (mtdblock6), and there is much more free space on your /system partition (mtdblock3). I also hope you notice an inprovement in performance and snappiness.

Be honest and tell me what you think. If you have any issues feel free to ask. I will have a all-in-1 flashable soon. (Probably tomorrow night its getting late.)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricosuavez35:
i was wondering the same thing,sorry to bump this thread

yep i was going to ask something similar ,i moved a lot of files from user to systeme in order to free some space(USER) ,but i had the feeling that this would load up the system ram and slow down the phone(20meg free on system partition)...i will consider your approch and maybe some link to sd solution if i am not to lazy ....

thanks for the info
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokakikote:
seems somehow risky for me. i don't know, just my cent. im a linux dev not an android. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Why revive an old post just to say something is risky?

Also I think this idea isn't needed unless you're on a ROM where system doesn't have enough space to hold all the files. In this case the ROM zip takes care of it for you.
[HTC Sensation] Reedddd:
Hi,

I really wanna buy a used HTC Sensation right now, but there are a few issues. Well the thing I'm only going to be in the US for more months, after that I'm going back to germany. But I want to buy the sensation here, because it's way cheaper, so I'm looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Sensation..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1327899567&sr=1-1. However, every used seller I've talked to said it has a tmobile branding. Is there even a sensation without a tmobile branding?

The problem with the tmobile branding is, as I've heard, that if you put a non tmobile sim card in the phone, it won't let you use 3G, can anyone confirm that?

Does anyone know, whether these problems still exist?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
root and debrand.... theres threads for this in development and you can put carrier specefic software on it and any sim you want....

Sent from my Revolver Powered Asus Transformer
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
It is absolutely bogus. It all depends on your Sim lock status and the 3g radio.

if your phone is Sim unlocked and have a compatible radio I can use 3g . In fact I am using t mobile branded sensation in India and enjoying 3g . The radio used in t mobile sensation for 3g is for 2100/900 mhz which is the 3g frequency in India. One more thing I have come to know from it's specification sheet that it also supports 1900/850 mhz. But I can't confirm it as this band is not used in India. I have used inspire 4g in India but no 3g because the 3g radio is 1900/850 mhz. So first find out the 3g band of your service provider then decide.
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
If you live in the US (or any where outside the EU) & buy it from EU (like from expansys), ship the phone to your address, you don't pay VAT.

For example, the Sensation from Expansys will cost you USD 486.00 shipped to US.

By the way, the EVO 3D from Expansys is even cheaper!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kawasakijosh:
So today I pull my tab out of my bag (its I'm its own compartment with microfiber lining) and it has a scratch right in the middle of the screen!!!

Anyone got a fix for this? Going to try toothpaste tonight but I think its deeper than that can fix...:(

i don't want to get into the whole screen protector argument lets just say no local retailer had one and I wasn't trying to be a tuff guy and not run one, all my devices have a screen protector from day dot but there were none available at the time.
