I really need to be sure that it wont (sim-)relock after the update, so is there someone who can tell me for sure why it wont relock or why it will relock?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raex:
OK i now received a reply of the service center of sony ericcson, they also told me that the sim-lock would be there again after an update, they told me to bring the phone to the shop again and let them do the update, but thats not possible according to the guy in the shop.

Ok if u flash ur fone to 2.3 ur fone will accept any card, mine was locked to vodafone, flashed it originally so i could get 2.3 from 2,1 and i have reinstalled the stock software from sony and there where no vodafone items on use the flash tool to do this instead of getting someone to sim unlock, generic android is best way :) (Not held responsible if device is damaged in anyway)

Hi, I'm having trouble making a MIUI theme- it never applies.

What I did, essentially, was download a theme (Vexillum), and then open the icons file with WinRar, change the icons, zip it back up, remove the .rar extension, then zip the whole thing, and change .rar to .mtz

For some reason, my icons wont work. :(

Please, please, please help.

I'm running MIUI beta Android 4.0.3 on Droid X2
[General Questions and Answers] tomongous:
RE: [Q] Theming MIUI

From looking at a guide I found I think you should be renaming a zip and not a rar file. The mtz extension reinforces that thought, I think it's definitely supposed to be a zip and not a rar that gets renamed.

I can't post links, but try this: forums.miui (dot) us/showthread.php?51-GUIDE-How-to-theme-MIUI-the-easy-way!-9-guide-now-up!!!-Questions-Ask!

Let me know if that works out.

Can i use turboboost v8.5, lagfree v3, and slaidmodv2.5 all together?

If not which are the best to use?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] acceleratus:
turboboost v8.5 + lagfree v3 should be used together.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Weeeman:
can i also install slaidmod v2.5
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] acceleratus:
nope, lagfree is the improved version i belief. Its either slaidmod 2.5 + turbo or lagfree + turbo.

Important: if you install lagfree , first delete s78enable_touchscreen_1 in system/etc/init.d folder using rootexplorer or another file explorer. That file is installed when installing turboboost and needs to be deleted in order to avoid conflicts between lagfree and turboboost.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Weeeman:
kk will use lagfree and turbo
[HTC EVO 3D] crisvillani:
Hey everyone was hoping someone can tell me what files inside the kernel make wifi function specifically in an ICS Kernel ?

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
For EVO 3D devices, the WiFi module is located at /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko and should always be the same location across all Android versions on the EVO 3D.

The kernel and modules are compiled separately from the Android OS. As such, the kernel and modules must always matched and should therefore always be installed together.

If that wasnt enough detail, please ask more specificially what aspect you're interested in. Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] crisvillani:
hey man thanks for the help, so basically what im trying to do is I flashed a Sense ICS kernel overtop AOSP ICS rom, it booted up fine and actually fixed a couple issues but the problem is wifi doesnt start, in logcat it says "failed to start driver" ,

I tried swapping the bcm4329.ko from the AOSP Kernel into the rom but it didn't work :( There must be something more, hope thats a bit clearer

Thanks :D

This is what it says in logcat :

E/WifiStateMachine< 252>: Failed to load driver!

E/WifiStateMachine< 252>: DriverFailedState
[HTC EVO 3D] crisvillani:
Dmesg

When trying to turn wifi on dmesg spits this out :

<3>[ 455.505561] bcm4329: version magic '2.6.35.14-cayniarb_miui.us_stock_ics-010612+ SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be 2.6.35.14-MDJ-SENSE-ICS-V1-g910203-dirty SMP mod_unload ARMv7 '
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
Im no expert, but if it was as simple as copy and pasting a wifi module from another kernel into a new ICS kernel I think everyone would have perfectly working wifi in the ICS kernels by now ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Was Wondering the same, Thanxx...
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
you issue is you are trying to load an miui kernel to an ASOP ROM. the drivers are not the same, and your system is looking for a particular driver and finding one that is not compatible, hence your dmsg error details...

its a little difficult to explain... but basically you are not using the right kernel
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
To start off, I'll give you an A+ for researching the issue on your device .. but a poor grade for researching the issue on this forum.

I've answered this question quite a few times on this EVO 3D Q&A board. I think I've got the details down pretty well. I'm going to quote from a previous post. Feel free to ask if you have any questions or something isn't clear!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18793336&postcount=2

To further the point, this error in dmesg shows the exact mismatch between the WiFi module which can't load because it doesn't match the compile version of the kernel. Appears the kernel is using 2.6.35-14-MDJ-Sense-ICS-V1 kernel but the wifi module is from cayniarb_miui.us_stock_ics .. or the message is flip flopped, but the concept is the same.

WiFi module version does not match kernel version. They must match as they are compiled together at the same time.

Hope that helps!

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Shlomikalfa:
Hi,

I'm a complete noob to android systems and I'd like to ask some simple questions about rooting. :eek:

A. Can the process of rooting irreversibly damage my device? :confused:

B. Can I root my device and then unroot it? :o

C. Do I loose any functionality of my device after rooting? And is it reversible? :p

Thanks in advance, :cool:

SK.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Hello noob! Welcome to XDA! Fire away:

No. Rooting is quite safe. Essentially it allows both read and write access to your system files, which otherwise would be locked away from the user. So, unless you're planning on freeing up some space by going through and deleting your whole root directory, then, no, you haven't really got much to worry about. Even then, say you soft-bricked your device (power comes on, but device can't fully boot up), you can always restore factory defaults by using Odin to flash a stock firmware. Or, if you're really good, you can use tools like CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) and Titanium Backup to restore any backups you might have made.

Next question!

Create a backup of all your apps etc using something like Titanium backup, and use Odin to flash back to stock; it'll be like getting your device out of the box again, but with your backup, you can quickly and easily restore all your apps. However, because you no longer have root, things like backed up SMS, system settings, and other things which otherwise would require root access, will not be restored without root access.

Next!

Answer to C, part 1: Not at all! In fact, if anything, you gain functionality. By rooting your device, you now have the ability to do any number of things from the simple backing up your system as described above, to adding custom themes and UI tweaks, to flashing custom ROM's which can offer other improvements and features depending on what the developer has baked into their ROM. Also, there are a lot of apps that specifically include added root features that you can now take advantage of. Each app is different though, and usually the developer indicates what root specific features they offer. Beware though, you need to be careful with installing root apps. Make sure you read carefully what permissions an app asks for before you install it, lest you install a piece of malware that can really wreak havoc. Mainly, use common sense.

Answer to C part 2: See answer to B.

You're welcome! Hope this helps you! :)

P.S. Don't forget to hit that "Thanks" button!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] uncle_buckman:
With the rooting method do you have the ability to remove pre-installed apps like TouchWiz?

In doing so would that speed up the device?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Well, you need to understand first that TouchWiz is more than just an app. Effectively, TouchWiz adds a few tweaks and UI customization's throughout the whole system. Most of these tweaks don't impact performance at all. The one part of TouchWiz that does suffer in performance is the launcher (basically your homescreen). Although you can technically remove this, I would recommend against it.

However, what you can do is install a different home launcher and use that instead of TouchWiz. Personally, I use a launcher called ADW EX. It is more customizable and its performance is far superior to TouchWiz. Root access is NOT required for changing launchers.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
First, check for disconnected or loose cables inside the gTab.

Next, if it isn't a HW fault like loose cables, then connect the USB cable to the gTab and run this ADB command (you will have to install and set up ADB if you haven't already done so):

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Where is the break?

I assume since you didn't send in under warranty for the power connector that it's no longer under warrantly!

Exactly where is the break? Close to (or at) one of the connectors? Which end (motherboard end or digitizer end) of the cable? Obviously closness to the connector makes it more difficult. I have seen a post where another use had the break pretty close to the connector & fixed it though.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcapone1130:
I totally forgot that i made a youtube video yesterday,here is the address http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFNRtDhr5EQ I have been so stressed out about getting my gtab back it slipped my mind.Oh, the broken end is what plugs under the silver area not under the brown area.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
If you magnify the digitizer circuit (lower photo in the pdf) you will see the label for each of the lines in the cable. Assuming the lines run straight thru, it looks like the ones that broke are the power & ground to the circuit (VSS & GND). That would explain the touch screen not working at all.

Hard to tell from the video where the breakis, but it looks real close to the connector.

Your best bet may be looking for someone who has a broken digitizer (outer glass) or gTab and is selling it for parts. I looked in the Marketplace forum here on XDA & there is one non working gtablet someone is asking $55 for. I also saw another one up for bid on ebay ($40 latest bid). You my have to ask if the cable is good on them.

Not a whole lot of options for repair. As you've already experienced, the cable is small & fragile.

If the connector has removable pins then you could remove the pins, solder the wire to it & reinsert the pins, BUT from the picture it doesn't look like they are removeable.

You could solder the 2 wires to the pins coming out the back of the socket but they look too small to easily solder to.

The last option would be to rigg the cable to work. There are a couple of possibilites but I would rather you consider the other options before suggesting a repair of the cable itself. If you can, see if you can take a closeup, high res photo of the back fo the connector where the wire broke. PM me & I'll send you my email address to send it too.

I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.

Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?

What are all of you buying for a case?

for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.

Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.

On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).

Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?

Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.

I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.

I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
