[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
One of the problems is that there are spaces in your path. Move the tool to the root of the c drive. Not I. Documents and settings as it is now. Also rename the apk man folder and remove that space as well. Having no spaces is in the APk manager FAQ. I would also look at apk multitool as it is more updated.

It seems that it cant execute the aapt file. Might need to update it.

How to update aapt?

I just downloaded the newest apktools.jar and get this error. Shouldn't be the aapt-file the newest, too?

Edit: Problem solved. Need to download the ADK again and download the platform-tools manually. Than place the aapt file to the bin-folder of apktools and you'll have it.

While use of mobile technologies has potential to transform business, making it possible for an organization to be more agile in serving its customers, it can also disrupt IT. The new generation of employees expects complete freedom to use mobile devices, regardless of whether they are company-owned or employee-owned. most IT departments are struggling to define and implement a bring-your-own-device (BYoD) strategy. To a large extent, they still use the old command-and-control model of Windows-based device management, trying to dictate what devices employees can use and how they can use them. But the old model doesn’t work anymore. not only are new devices flooding the workplace, but today’s mobile devices bring a variety of new operating systems, such as ios and Android, and many applications to contend with.

I must say it's an interesting whitepaper that discusses much more than this so I would like to share it with you !

Microsoft is trying to pitch the Windows 8 to business phone users and ability to control and deploy them via their SCCM (SMS), however the popularity of Win 8 and windows phones are horrible to say the least, if Microsoft really wants to turn the tables around, they will need to start giving away Free Windows 8 phones to corporate enterprises, along with their "free" license of SCCM which businesses already gets included when they buy Microsoft license packs.

Blackberry have been the leader on this field all these years due their easy to use Admin Centre and mail server piggy back, hands down there's no real competition yet to kick them out of the king's throne in this area

Android offer the most extensive control, but require geek like us to do it for them (and some business will find this as a hindrance as they need to hire specialized people to do the job), there's no central control system in place, but it's relatively easy to build, reason why Lenovo is jumping into the Android bandwagon with all their new tablets and phones devices running on Android, as IBM + Lenovo they always take care of the Corporate enterprises for other companies, basically they are in the right spot at the right time, if all goes well Blackberry is going to lose its crown

End users choice will always be the iDrones, however it's the device with the least control by third party, and the one that is the most popular among end users.

HP tried hard with their WebOS, but failed miserably at trying to reproduce the success of its predecessor PalmOS in the business world.

... All that being said....

If work places are to allow people to BYOD then it means the IT team will need to have a GPO set to roll out to any new Windows phones that joins the SCCM system, also will require BlackBerry users to join to the new Domain (which is relatively easy as most updated BB phones are already ready for both personal + business mails and settings lockups), will need a new Android specialist, to either load customized ROMs or some alternative with a custom App that must be installed in their phones and let IT department control the phone, and Ban the iDrones from the workplace; clearly it's meant as an entertainment device instead of an enterprise ready phone :p
[General Topics] Jesushaxyou:
Not true. Also not sure if you're being sarcastic. I rep Android to death (ANDRIZZLE). But seriously I work at an Apple Specialist store and with all the courses I had to take to become proficient here I've realized that Apple is trying very hard to push iPhones and iPads into businesses. They actually fit quite nicely with simple to use MDM controls and separate custom profiles for IT to set up for the end user.

Honestly, I think Android is the worst OS to bring into the business world, unless someone can come up with a RedHat for Android. And by that I mean a stable uniformed release for mass consumption. There's too much control to be had over the device by the end user no matter what IT sets up for it to be uniformed across a company like they would need it to be.

Blackberry are the Kings of business mobile right now. They will be until somehow steps up and makes a serious effort to point their whole company in the direction of business. But seeing as how that's only a small percentage of what they actually could have nobody will probably do that. It works well for blackberry because they've already realized that they aren't getting any more popular with the kids and have been able to focus on the strategies of effective business management capabilities being built into a phone.

That's my 2 cents there.

I have a problem with this ROM.

My GPS doesn't work. he can not find satellite.

How to configure it ?

Turn on DATA and WIFI and GPS and then check if you can find sattelite.

AGPS (Assisted GPS) needs the help of GSM antennas and WIFI locations to better determine where you are at.

No need to apologize . Our mods should start muting people for a few days if they ask redundant questions in threads.

Wow, thank you very much. Before I applied this patch via CWM (Using Google specific 3.1) I was getting 6 satellites in use with up to 99 feet accuracy. After I applied the patch, I was getting 10-11 satellites in use with up to 15 feet accuracy.

Very impressive, and I encourage all users to try it out as it seems to really work.

Seems it was bad cache not being cleared from your description and your actions. :eek:

Hopefully, it'll stay instant and accurate for you now. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crypted:
Sorry for not addressing this sooner. You must read all the information.

Only v3.x will utilize my servers. FYI: well over 30 ROM's use v3.x in their production. However, I'm not aware of any for this Galaxy II variant yet. I do know that v3.x builds are operational on over 20,000 phones. Everyone is beyond pleased with it.

I'm not going to discuss the realities of how it works a lot better this way, but you can surely find it discussed numerous (30, 40, dunno the amount of times) different times in the other threads for officially supported devices.

V2.x uses the customary Qualcomm and NTP.ORG sources. However, I did optimize those to use different Qualcomm servers as primary sources because of overloading and latency issues. NTP.ORG really isn't resolvable because it has thousands of servers in the database no matter the routing issues involved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crypted:
Awesome! I'm not sure what you mean't with tl;dr though. ;)

Glad it's doing well for you. If you have it in a case, you may consider taking it out of it. My phone, though a different model, can get up to 6ft accuracy without its case while outside. I average 12-18ft with the case on.

ZeroDefined: You're the reason the thread got started in the first place. Glad you're having such success with it. Hopefully your optimism and commentary will alleviate some fears about v3.x of this patch using my custom servers and dns pools.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 01010001:
What is the difference between the Google Specific and T-Mobile builds? Obviously there must be some kind of difference between them. You say the other builds "add flavor" but I have no idea what that means.

Also, thanks for doing this stuff. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crypted:
Yeah, the agenda has a re-write for the thread to clarify that. The notes are burdensome and contain tons of information that most people don't want to sift through.

Case in point, Note #6:

Basically, I collected a number of SUPL servers, corresponding ports, and corresponding root certificates used on the devices which the other data came from. This offers the "flavor" of using carrier or manufacturer specific SUPL servers for location assistance.

But, Google's SUPL outperforms all of those except for S.E.'s when used on those devices. So, I always recommend Google Build no matter whether you do v2.x or 3.x. You'll get the best bang for your open-source buck with 3.x. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Lol yes I took it apart and read everything from the inside out. Is your server online 24/7 and secure? I'm a bit of a security freak personally.. looks legit otherwise

Sent by my SGH-T989 from the Darkside ©
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crypted:
Yes it's always online and yes it's secure. It's served over a million requests since October 2011. The NTP pool utilizes seven stratum 2 servers rather than some random server of the thousands of people who submit their home, work, or whatever servers to the NTP.ORG list. The DNS servers is apart from the hosting servers and has a redundant secondary in the event of an outage. The hosting servers are mirrors. I'm keeping the primary active all the time with a secondary just in case of a foul up. But that's very unlikely to occur. In my 10+ years of screwing with Linux servers, I have had maybe 6 days of downtime in total and most of that was a few minutes to upgrade RAM, swap to a new hard-drive with an updated OS, or other spec-related issues.

Let's assume there is a extremely unlikely outage of one hour. Your phone will process and cache the xtra.bin file for the length of its validity. That is a maximum of 24 hours. If it were out for a short time, your phone wouldn't be looking for it because it has the cache built up. The phone won't always get that data. It does so on expiration. This is why this patch works when very well on WiFi-only tablets, too.

As the v3.x gps.conf discusses, there are numerous components aside from the file and the NTP pools. It's divided into sections and discussed very plainly about what each section does. But, I know you've seen that already. :)

Again, I do not foresee any downtime and the servers are well paid in advance. I do ask for donations to help offset the costs of hosting these for all of our benefits. I do not rely on donations, but it is nice for the very few to offer some help in covering costs.

Only thing I wanted to mention was that when I use the GPS test app, it doesn't show how many feet of accuracy anymore. Any reason why?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crypted:
What app are you using? As the Notes Section discusses, a lot of GPS-related apps screw with the settings of this patch. GPS Status is the only app I use or recommend.

Mine shows accuracy of 18ft right now whilst I'm indoors and have a case on the phone.

HTC has acknowledged that a software flaw on some of its Android phones means that they openly offer security credentials across the wifi networks they connect to.

According to The Next Web, there would be nothing to stop someone harvesting the details to use in the future. Apparently the flaw affects the following devices:

Desire HD – Versions FRG83D, GRI40

Glacier – Version FRG83

Droid Incredible – Version FRF91

Thunderbolt 4G – Version FRG83D

Sensation Z710e – Version GRI40

Sensation 4G – Version GRI40

Desire S – Version GRI40

EVO 3D – Version GRI40

EVO 4G – Version GRI40

According to HTC, an over-the-air fix is being sent out, but some phones may need a manual update. You can find out more about that by reading their announcement on their support site.

ok we all know that unlocking bootloader removes the DRM even if we relock the bootloader.

my question are:

1. is there a way to backup first the DRM before unlocking bootloader

2. if yes, is there a way to restore it

============================================================

another thing is that TrackID doesnt work because of DRM key deletion during unlocking bootloader. "Music Like" doesnt work also because it is connected to TrackID.

my question here are:

1. There's update of TrackID on android market. I dowloaded it, TrackID works again but still why "Music Like" doesnt work?

2. Is there a modified version of "Music Likes.apk" so that it will work together with the newest version of TrackID?

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
There is no way of backuping and restoring DRM keys. They are on partition to which we don't have access.

So you installed that track ID app and you made it recognize a song? Strange..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fatimarvin_15:
ok heres what i did, i unlocked the bootloader.

so my stock TrackID & Music Likes doesnt work.

i decided to relock my boot loader.

Stock TrackID & Music Likes still doesnt working

then i downloaded the newest TrackID on market.

The trackID is working, everyting is normal, every buttons, links, recording etc.

but still Music Likes on the default Music Player doent work
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] esist:
Only way to keep them is to use testpoint unlock method.

stick with the question please.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] esist:

My reply was on-topic, and in a public forum. People can write whatever they want.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rioener:
If you haven't unlock with testpoint method, then you shouldn't be able to use neither music likes or trackID, no matter what you'll do (relock bootloader etc). It's strange that you now can use track ID with the way you described, have you tried to uninstall the music likes and install it again?

New and on a height lol

Thanks op good job
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fatimarvin_15:
@ rioener

Yup everyting is workin on the new version of track id on the android market, working as normal.

Thanks for the tip, I will try to uninstall and install music likes again to see if it will work.

hey guys sorry to interrupt,my brother ask me to unlock his neo,so did give any problem other than drm?im on arc so im not good with neo:)

Sent from my LT18i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fatimarvin_15:
ok here's the simple steps after unlocking bootloader.

1. Uninstall the old TrackID (its a system app so u need root)

2. Download the latest TrackID on android market (the silver one/not the old blue)

3. Backup the FBMusicLikes.apk/Music Likes app

4. Uninstall the FBMusicLikes.apk/Music Likes app (its a system app so u need root)

5. Reinstall the FBMusicLikes.apk/Music Likes app

6. connect to net and try it, its now working again.

thanks to rioener for this discovery :-)
