Hi folks

I found an interesting sony audio/image processing mods which might help in enhancing the sound/volume on out U8800. It's also reported that it increases the volume of the device and remove little distortion or noise

For image and video

1)Download attachment.(Bravia_ Engine_file)

2)Extract files on phone and put they in the directory:

Code:

/system/etc

3)Open /system/build.prop with a text editor (like RootExplorer)

and add these lines at the end:

Code:

#Bravia Engine Service

ro.service.swiqi.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

4)Save the file and Exit

5)Set the right permissions or open a terminal emulator and execute:

Code:

su

busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_photo

busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_movie

busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_photo

busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_movie

6)Fully Reboot the device and enjoy BRAVIA

Give it a try.

Flash it in Clockworkmod recovery

Placebo. This was already discussed over at sgs2 section. We dont have the needed framework for those mods to work, they exist only in Sony firmwares.

Hello all,

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.

I really need a few people to check into some issues people on some roms have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:

- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops or whatnot

- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send

- if you post here, bes sure to include your device type and rom

- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.

The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an

account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.

You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,

others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.

Why is this functionality useful?

Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.

Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.

Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.

Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.

Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.

These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

Market link:

https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme

The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] CodenameDeadpool:
will this allow me to switch between ROMs, like a ROM manager?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
No. It creates multiple installs of your base rom. There is an app called boot manager, but it will never support the fire...
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] CodenameDeadpool:
Ah. Was hoping it was like Boot Manager. Damn.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] foxdog66:
Switchme seems to work as desired. I'm the only one using my fire tho so there isn't much need for it. Come to to think of it, it would keep people out of my account when its being passed around at my buddies house lol.

Why do you say boot manager will never have support on the kindle fire?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Considering their progress over the last year and a half - 6! new devices - it will take forever.

I couldn't get wifi to connect last week (only time i had to try it) I'll give it another go tonight. I did have a question about storage, if i have a game installed on my main profile and install it on a second profile, is the apk then located in 2 locations? The kindle fire is very limited on storage with no option of expandable storage
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Yes, the apk will be used twice.

Hello, I just came across this thread and had to say something, I love your Switchme app. Me and my wife both use my fire and it was driving me crazy not being able to customize it how I wanted. Then I found your app in the market and was ecstatic to try it. It worked like a dream! Your latest update just added that little touch that made it sol worth it. Thank you so much for this function and smooth integration.

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
You have to drag the unlock slider onto the icons...
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] matthewcb4:
So after using this daily I still love it. Everything is working great and have had no issues at all. There is one request that I would like to make though. Is there anything that you can do about backing up the second users account? The roms for the kindle are still very much under development and are constantly being updated and without being able to back up that account my wife had restricted me pretty heavily on updating my kindle. I do backup her apps with other software but I just find this to be bit of a pain. Other then that it is still the best app I have found so far!

Thanks again
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
If you are flashing updates of the same base rom you dont need to do any backing up - android will rebuild itself when you switch to another profile.

I dont know about these roms, but i suggest you simply make a nandroid backup and try updating - at worst youll lose 30 minutes of your time.

Any other questions?

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] dragon9324:
I have a question? Will this work with stock rooted Kindle?

Edit: and what about the settings I already have?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] tctim:
it should but in my experience (dont quote me im not the developer) i had to re root it after because it is a new installation and stock isnt rooted by default.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] foxdog66:
Should work fine although I haven't tried it myself (I don't use the stock ROM) won't need to reroot (because it's part of the ROM, just make sure Superuser app is installed/updated on every profile) and your settings will be whatever the default settings are on new profiles (until you change them) :-)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Yes, stock roms may not have root by default, so youll have to root each profile separately. But "ROOTED STOCK" should be fine because the devs build superuser into the system partition (meaning that SM will always find it, even in fresh profiles.

Alternately, you can simply clone your current profile and go from there...

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Yes yes how quaint. No one has abandoned anything - the person who made WC was fired and eveyone else is busy making other apps. As far as I know WC is perfectly stable.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Pkt_Lnt:
It would be good to explain that in the WC thread, out of considerations for the users who purchased it. A major rewrite was promised, one has to wonder why. There are many other apps of yours I am interested in trying, likely buying, but being ignored in your app thread soured my opinions, as you can see.

I'll not post more in here and hijack, but ten support emails sent from the app being totally ignored really rankled me.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Yes i can see that. Welcome to the real world.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] blatadude:
I didn't realize testers were needed, but a few days ago I downloaded this app and would really like to purchase the full version key because it worked so well with no bugs. The only thing I don't like is that there is a feeling that it is stuck because when I switch profiles it pops up a loading circle that stops after a few seconds then hangs until the boot animation loads. I find this somewhat annoying.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Use fast switch.

I have been using this app before I seen this thread, and I can say that it works good with GlazedICS and Jandycane. Although, one time in Jandycane, I switched profiles too much I guess, and my wifi stopped working, so I had to reflash the ROM. Not a big issue though.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geeman77:
Back Story:

My phone was left in my house (shared with other people) yesterday while I was at work. When I got home I was checking missed calls, voicemail etc and I noticed that some text messages were missing. I looked a bit more and it seems that 2 seperate sms message threads had been deleted and a number of contacts had been deleted too. Now, this has happened before to another housemate but we couldn't prove that it had been done. We are pretty sure we know who did it but I need concrete evidence that the phone was accessed.

Phone Specs: Samsung Galaxy S2, rooted, running CM7 latest nightly. I also have Cerebrus installed if that helps.

So my questions are as follows:

1) Is it possible to see what activity was happening on my phone yesterday? I don't have any "logging" software running.

2) Is it possible to retrieve the deleted SMS messages?

I work in IT so am pretty tech savvy, just not in the workings of the Android OS!

All help greatly appreciated.

P.S. I have already been able to restore the contacts that were deleted using the restore functionality in gmail.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonasbull:
The short answer is no. It is, at least in theory, possible to "undelete" stuff, but it isn't usually practical. Even if you did, you wouldn't have "proof" in the legal sense.

That said, I have been involved in a similar situation. Here's the approach we used. It is reasonable to assume that this behavior will continue. Therefore, get some logging software installed. Do NOT talk about it. Do nothing out of the ordinary. Just quietly install some software that will let you see what is going on with your phone. I know there are apps which will email an alert when accessed, snap a pic from the front-facing camera, log SMS to email, remotely lock the phone, etc etc. Based on what you need to accomplish, get these set up and then BE PATIENT. wait a few days (unless you normally leave your phone at home) and leave it again when the person in question might be around.

A pic would be sufficient proof I would think for confronting a roomie. If nothing else log your sms's. I use integrated Google Voice so I'd get an alert on my PC even if I didn't have the phone (very handy, that), but that may not be an option for you.

I also use SeekDroid for remote locking, and I -think- there's a remote camera provision, but it's at a higher paid level than I am subscribed to. At any rate that's my suggestions.

Or, the simple solution: Put a better lock code on your phone.

-JB
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
A lock code would help prevent the behavior in the future. For catching the vandal red-handed, I believe an app like Gotcha! may do what you need.

I had been suffering terrible battery life of late espically with Blue tooth enabled, however just recently 2 events occurred that coincided with a dramatic improvement

1. I switched from T-Mobile (UK) to GiffGaff

2. Partly as a result of that switch (and me being a little thick and forgetting to apply the ADN settings in order to get internet over 3g working after the switch over) I carried out a factory reset via the Settings -> About Phone menu options

Since I have done this my battery life has gone from less than a day to at least 2 days and possibly into 3 and that is with Blue tooth switched on

I am not sure that these 2 events caused it but something has happened all of a sudden to make such an improvement
