[Samsung Focus S] alan93:
After unlocking and debranding, it went through about 6 or 7 updates. About 10 steps in each (hours).

Then it was locked again.

I repeated procedure and it is now unlocked but is this going to happen every it updates?

I'm worried one time it will not be unlockable.

I currently have 7.10.8862.144
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
The one to watch is the Samsung updates, even with the new firmware we can now unlock, it is possible to update to newer firmwares and remain unlocked, my suggestion is to keep relock prevent installed all the time, any update you should run that. And avoid installing Samsung updates and always always always make and keep safe backups, should you sudenly find your phone locked you can restore your backup, in sort don't worry, just be prepared
[Samsung Focus S] alan93:
Thanks, good point, and I had WP7 Root tools with prevent lock but that didn't help.

Is there another?
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
That works fine but as soon as you update to a major version change WP will automatically check relock it, you need to make sure their are no data coms, that will give you time to apply the relock prevent. I use the tool from windows break project
[Samsung Focus S] acryn:
if you know how to unlock no need to worry about the future updates that killed lock or relock that's simple:Di've tried and did it no problems about unlocking after updates
[Samsung Focus S] reallyannoyed:
A Question

To confirm, this unlocks the phone as well as debrands it? I would be able to use a SIM card for a carrier other than AT&T after completing this?

Many thanks!
[LG Revolution] 47th_Ronin:
Ok noob question... What is zip align and what's it do? Was poking around rom toolbox and saw this and ive seen it mentioned in other apps and whatnot, just never thought to ask

Til now.

Thanks!
[LG Revolution] revo_65:
Was wondering this too. Think it speeds opening apps and stuff up but makes a boot longer. Not exactly sure what it actually does tho lol
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Zipalign is an archive alignment tool. It optimizes the way an app is packaged. Doing so enables the operating system to interact with the application more efficiently, and has the potential to make the application and overall the whole system much faster. Execution time is minimized for zipaligned applications, resulting in a lower amount of RAM consumption when running the app.
[LG Revolution] 47th_Ronin:
easy for you to say...

Lol j/k :p

thanks for answering
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Lol you're welcome!
[LG Revolution] dark_phoenix:
so this means can i zipalign my stock rom via romtoolbox??? and it will work faster+more ram+etc... or NOT????

i have Karbonn A15 stock rom, Rooted.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
No it's for apps, not ROMs.
[LG Revolution] dark_phoenix:
oops my bad. i meant apps in stock rom. :p

will Zipaligning affect anything.???

Sent from my 3310 using my gprs
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Its supposed to streamline your apps and make them load faster on boot, making your boot time quicker but it's not a noticeable difference.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alex122333:
It's the big sense clock with weather.

Could someone kindly give me the apk download?

I deleted it by accident with titanium backup pro.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Re-flash your rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alex122333:
There must be a download.. I dont want to re-delete all my stuff
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
What are you talking about??? If you re-flash your rom then it shouldn't wipe your data at all unless it's an RUU.

And you didn't bother to do a backup with titanium before deleting the file?

How about a clockwork or TWRP backup?

Always

make a backup!
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
Extract it from your .zip file and push it to /system/apps? I don't see why that wouldn't work... But if you haven't tweaked any of the views or styles, reflashing your rom doesn't wipe your data or erase apps. Just clear cache and dalvik, flash, reboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Yeah I don't even know which file it is exactly. It's so much easier to just re-flash the freaking rom. He should have it saved on his sdcard or at least his computer.

Here's a few good tips!

Always make a backup before making any changes!

Always keep your rom .zip file with you in case you need to reflash.

Every once in a while backup your sdcard (internal and external) to your computer just in case of corruption.

Have some kind of security in case it's lost or stolen.

Keep a spare battery or usb cable and/or charger while going on an extended trip.

If you don't do any of those you're begging to post another "help me" thread. :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
Or you could use the fancy widget pro app. That's what I used to get the sense clock on aosp roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
On reboot my phone sits on the white HTC logo for at least 2-3min. I don't remember it ever being this long and am wondering if its a sign of things going bad. Its not just on 1st boot after a new rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket999:
Just for a little more info, what ROM are you running? Any tweaks such as app2sd or anything?

I'm running the latest CM7 nightly and it boots up fast. That's AOSP though, so it tends to be fast.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npatrick:
On average, mine takes 3 minutes to boot to home screen, but then it's probably another minute or two to get all the icons populated.

Of course, I am running DT A2SD, which I suspect slows it down.

My ROM is EVO Classic v0.0.5 (Tommy Tomatoe). I also have a number of things in my Autostart, including androidlost, the Amazon appstore, battery monitor, facebook, etc etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben.nesheim:
hmm seems to be on 3.5 roms it would hang on the white screen much longer than i would see from aosp and sense 1.0 roms maybe sense 2.1 and 3.0 roms i hope its not signs of something bad if it gets to long i'll pull the battery and just restart and it usually starts up ok for me :P prolly bad to do that but its worked :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
I don't have DTa2sd anymore, since I found a nasty problem - if your sd-ext gets corrupted, you get bootloops even though it only has apps and boot/system are fine. I had to repartition and format my sd card after that.

It takes 2-3 min before the boot animation starts, this is on AOSP rom's like MIUI, Deck's and some ICS builds.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
From hitting the power button to full boot, ready to use is about 3 minutes.

The longest part is after the homescreen first comes on. That's about 2 minutes for everything to get started up.

Which is odd since I have most things disabled in ROM Toolbox
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SNu263:
It takes that long on an AOSP rom? Hmm... Only reason why that could happen is if dalvik cache needed to be built every time you turn your phone on, which is usually not the case. Did you happen to move dalvik cache to SD card by any chance?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PyreKing:

Is this the guy you emailed?

https://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/source_lf.shtml
[Android Software Development] mgschwan:
Yes thats the one. I emailed him almost two weeks ago but havent even got an autoreply.

I also posted i a Sony Developer Forum ( http://android.developer.sony.com/c...=14&t=43&sid=3eb773496bf3933ca28b260bb07d4fbb ) which is currently in BETA state, hoping that the Administrator setting this forum up will notice my post and give me an answer. It got 974 views but not a single answer, which seems to be very strange because the whole forum has only about 40 posts!

I would really love to release this, because it was quite some work (and still is) but without the consent from sony i can't do anything but give it to a few beta testers.
[Android Software Development] scales11:
mgschwan:

Great work! I am extremely interested in this and excited that I may be able to put my LF-B20 to use.

I am a newb to android coding and unfortunately do not know any Sony personnel.

Anything else I can do to help?
[Android Software Development] insanenyc:
It also works ok on my thrive !
[Android Software Development] minotauri:
wow. i have been looking for something like this since i had the original G1. This sounds great. I cant wait to try it out on my Galaxy S II and my Iconia A500 tablet. I guess my first order of business would be to get my locationfree back up and running (i had network issues since changing modem/routers).

THANKS!!

Thank you, i sent her/them an email. Let's see if this leads to something.
[Android Software Development] dzap:
OMG..can I PLEASE TEST this? I have two LF-B10 units and an LF-V30. I've wanted an Android version for so long and would be happy to help test or send some donation money your way if you need it.

Sony has completely dropped the ball on these things and I still use them and it was my #1 reason for not moving to Android from Windows Mobile back a couple years ago.
[Android Software Development] mgschwan:
I know everybody wants to test the app, however i am already struggling to manage the number of testers i already have.

Once i worked through all the bugs i will continue to contact new testers. Please understand that i have a real job too and that i can't continously work on this.

Greetings

[Android Software Development] mgschwan:
Good news. The LF-B10 is now really supported. Before, the video from LF-B10 was unusable which i did not recognize until someone gave me access to his a BaseStation.

As of 02/07/2012 this is fixed and LF-B10 BaseStations are now supported (but not in H264 mode)

Greetings

Michael
[Android Software Development] tonybli:
Michael

This was also tested on the Touchpad and works great other than audio/video sync. Otherwise, excellent.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] insanenyc:
With the latest update this app is clearer and sounds better then the offical pc software made by Sony. It also looks and sounds better on my thrive and inspire then it does on my PSP.

Fantastic work Michael !

Tested the app all day yesterday with a 4g connection and it only dropped a few times and that was due to poor data service areas .This is a screenshot of the picture quality of the app on inspire it is so clear
[Android Software Development] mgschwan:
Thanks tonybli and insanenyc. I am still working on the support for the LF-V30 BaseStation and keep contacting sony people :)

Michael
[Android Software Development] mgschwan:
Another update:

There is now support for both video inputs. Previously it could only show data from Video 1. Now you can select the video input in the preferences.

I added preliminary support for LF-V30 Basestations. The audio works but the video has some problems.

Greetings

Michael
[Android Software Development] mgschwan:
Ok, the problem with the LF-V30 BaseStations seems to be the mpeg4 encoder.

They support h264 which i can already decode, but it's way too slow to decode it in software, so the only option is to force the BaseStation to send out an mpeg4 stream.

But in the case of the mpeg4 stream the video is distorted. I get parts of the next frame on the bottom of the current frame. This seems to be a problem with the mpeg4 encoder.
[Android Software Development] mgschwan:
BIG NEWS:

i have cleared everything with sony and am now allowed to distribute this app. I do have to state that sony did not contribute to the development and i am not licensed to use the trade mark LocationFree or the brand name Sony in the title of the App.

And i have to say. I am perfectly fine with that :).

I really have to thank sony, especially the people that were involved in this (i don't know if i am allowed to name them here, so i will not). They were very commited to help me figure out a way to distribute this app.

I will prepare a public beta release over the next few days.

[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
+1, amazing rom. Much better than all sense 3.0 roms IMO
[HTC EVO 3D] za33ck:
i was willing to learn, i downloaded m10 tools and everything, but i found out it only works with sense 3.0, any themers have an exact step by step from how you pull these files out and im willing to take some time to create
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
sense 3.5 *requires* using skins, AND redcoding some layouts to redirect images, since m14 type files are currently undecipherable :(

team d3rp is working on skins, specifically pstevep, but we're starting with sense 3.0 since no hacking is required.

there ARE some themes available in the form of skins from other sense 3.5 devices/ROMs like the ones in the sensation forums, etc. There are also some skins on the market. And there are a couple themes for sense 3.5 here in our forum for vin's version of warm sense 3.5 that *should* work on mikrunny.
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
I really like Vin's blue theme, just haven't had the balls to try it on Miks. I didn't know that you could use skins from othjer devices such as the Sensation. Guess I'll grow some and start trying to find some that work. After work slows down of course:rolleyes:.
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
Did you have any joy finding a theme for mikrunnys rom?

Theres one on their thread for WVGA 1.06 and one for QHD 1.06 but it's a manual install and you have to push the files.

I made a few mods based on CDMA v1.1 .

http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-Bar-Icons-Dialer-MODs-for-CDMA-Mikrunny-v1-1

But like the others said you would have to theme a skin since there is no tool to theme the m14 .

Bro.. GSM user??? :p
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
What one would you like for gsm? I've never messed with the gsm phone so I'm not sure what the differences are in the icons but I could try if you don't mind testing it. I'll need you to pm me you framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk if you want the status bar icons. I ported those icons from my evo 4g themes so I hope the icons are the same.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDroidie626:
1st (As is the normal, attempting this me or the devs wont be help responsible for any damage to your device try these at your risks..)

Ok lets get to the juicy stuff xD

I 1st recommend the Jupa Engine, i use this, simple flash and let it run, and is easy to rescript to your tastes :) (Bad point i cant find the link i used :( but cant be that hard to find :) )

2nd Supercharge v6, been recently reading on this, and can be ran with Jupa Engine (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126940 altho for a different phone, follow the steps)

3RD Unlock your bootloader... Some smashing work out there from people like Doomlord Z and Azuzu to name a few, you can Overclock, underclock remove the frames cap and other things with this trick (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1253277 Thank you the_lazer for this superb method and ability to power the X10 more :) )

4th ROM, we all know ROMs give us more performance, its choosing the one we like that is the problem :) i suggest Wolfbreak, Zmod CM7 or DonutHD all great more out there ofc but i like these most :)

5TH DONT use task killer. simple, kill ur battery and take longer to reload the task, bad stuff, supercharger acts as a better one without all the battery loss.

6TH Sysctl A nice little app free on market wolfbreak has his own configure, but i normally leave mine at the recommended, no battery drain from here.

(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.sysctl.config)

7TH CPU Managers, I use SetCPU but that costs, there are free ones out there, i just like this :), works best with the custom kernels for ulbl, you can set the profiles and other settings here, lower the mhz of a overclocked kernel or put em up.

8TH General house keeping, keep your phone clean, treat it nice and it will give good performance in return, uninstall apps you dont want, use an anti-virus i use lookout, to make sure it isnt infected, if it is how the :O charge it regually even if am above 75% at night il charge, and enjoy the android experience :)

Hope this helps you all.

Just like to thank all the devs creating the stuff for the X10, your legends all of you (None of the apps/scripts/roms or methods is my work, just this post)

Xperia X10i

DonutHD

SE Kernel
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
I don't think you would need memory scripts since most roms would have that included (that is if you are planning to flash a custom rom)...and sysctl is usually tweaked on a custom rom, so chuck that as well

For CPU controlling apps, I do recommend the Antutu CPU master since it has everything ranging from frequency control w/ governor, I/O scheduler, and CPU voltage controls. If you want a free app then use No Frills CPU.

And I strongly recommend people to unlock their bootloader, since unlocked kernels are more stable and gives you the possibility to upgrade to FXP rom if required.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinancialWar:
is the 4.3" i9100 really lighter than 4.0" i9000? If so what about the battery life of i9100 compared to i9000?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
Its 3 grams lighter, I dont think anyone will notice the difference in weight. (although its impressive since the i9100 has bigger screen)

At stock, the i9100 also has a better battery life compared to the i9000 due to its better battery.

i9100 has 8 h 40 min (3G) talk time compared to Up to 6 h 30 min (3G) on the i9000.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinancialWar:
is the battery life really better than i9000?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
At said at my previous post, at stock, it should be. The i9100 is rated to have an extra 2 hours of talk time compared to the i9000.
