[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roidzmaster:
More detail

OK. You'll need to download a program to your PC called ODIN (see link in previous post). This program lets you "flash" (reformat) your phone to a new firmware. It must be specific to your model.

Once you download it run it. You will then have to put your phone into download mode (Sorry forgot that in my prev post). To do this hold Vol down, power and home for approx 3 secs.

Now load the "one click file" and OPS file for Optus (see link in previous post). These files are in the zip you downloaded. Click start!

Finally managed to gain root

After lots and lots and lots or reading, mainly in XDA, I have finally got to the stage where I have actually gained root on my GT-ST5830T.

Thanks to this poster.

Why flashing to Optus and then Telstra eludes me, but it has worked. In the process I have learnt about ODIN, clockworkmod, darktremor apps2sd.

Maybe now I will finally be able to get this Galaxy Ace to be able to do something useful.

Thanks so much to all the contributers to XDADEVELOPERS.

Another successful root - S5830T

Thanks roidzmaster for this excellent post. Finally I was able to root my S5830T mobile successfully with the help of this valuable post. But I have to use universal_gb_root_v25 instead of universal_gb_root_v17 in the rooting process.

If any one likes I would like to describe my experience.

Hi guys. I have the Xperia Mini and I am generally very satisfied with it except for a couple of things. Firstly its WiFi performance is mediocre. It can't find wireless networks from the same spot that other phones can, or even in the same room where the wireless router is, it doesn't get full signal. Secondly, it's the GPS. I had it on a table in the house, next to a Xperia Neo V and started simultaneously running GPS TEST application. The Neo V in a matter of 10-15 seconds had caught signal from 12-14 satellites and within 20 seconds it had a lock. My mini instead it didn't even get one satellite no matter how much I left it there on the same spot. (More than 10 minutes). It also has trouble getting a good GPS signal on the street and maintaning a fix. The two phones have the same Qualcomm CPU in which I think the GPS chip is included, so if they both have the same hardware, how come there's such a big difference in performance? I live in Greece and I have to note that the Neo V is from a greek store, while the Mini is import from Germany. Could this be of importance? Also could this be caused by a couple times that the phone fell hard on the ground? Wouldn't it stop its functions completely if something was wrong? Is it possible that it's performance just deteriorated? Everything else works perfectly. Anyway I am waiting for your suggestions. Thank you and I am sorry for the long message

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I am new to this development thing. I need to understand a few things:

1: Unlock bootloader

2: Installing Custom Rom

3: Flashing stuff

1: I always search the web but i cant find an answer. Will unlocking my Xperia Arc S void my warrenty? If so is there a way to restore warranty by "Locking" my bootloader again?

2: I always wanted to install custom roms. I thought it would be easy like how i install roms on my Xperia X10 Mini Pro. Turns out its complicated. Flash here, flash there. I thought i just need to use CWM5 to install the .zip file. The Rom i want to install is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1393738 (For My Arc S)

3: Flashing kernels. I see that in order to install the above ROM i need to flash DoomLord Kernels? But how? Im confused. Must i need to unlock my bootloader. I already have CWM5 on my Arc S.

Please reply to my question. I am new so if my thread has alreay been posted by someone i am truely sorry.

Thanks,

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
Good morning....

1. Every answer your looking for is in the forum on XDA all of the answers :)

2. It is EASY you just need to read a bit more. CMW works to some extent on Xperia Arc...

3. You definitely need to have your BOOTLOADER unlocked to flash the kernel and custom rom

4. Any modification you do to the phone can void your warranty... it's AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Cheers. :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
???

Thanks. I finally understand it. May i ask? How is it to flash the rom i linked? Flash the kernels? Do i need the ADB thing?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
I wouldn't especially flash that ROM it's in it's REALLY EARLY times (ALPHA). I'd consider just using stock for the moment until the ROM reaches it's beta phase. But that just my own opinion on the subject.

I wouldn't what is required for you to FLASH that specific ROM. My own bootloader can't be unlocked until I do a TEST POINT on it to get it unlocked. I'm actually quite happy with the Stock 2.3.4 .62 ROOTED firmware with no bloatware on it. Very fast and I can say I have a constant free 125mb of RAM available.

Most of my applications are installed to the SDcard.

Cheers.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Oh okay! Thanks for your help. I was actually scared of flashing the rom but now since you told me about the ALPHA thing i won't be flashing it. Thanks again!

How to Flash a new Kernel (DoomKernel)

Hello,

sorry for my possibly stupid question.

I´ve rootet my ARC S and want to install an new/other Kernel.

My favorite is the DooMKernel. Comes there a CWM-Version with the Kernel? And if yes, how to reach the Recovery-Menu. Has the DooM-Kernel switches for Wlan, Bluetooth, GPS, Date,.. in the Notification Bar?

I´m sorry i don´t find any step by step tutorial to install an other Kernel.

I think i have to put the Mobile in the Fastboot Mode. An then flash the Kernel via PC connection. But which File i had to choose?

In the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172885 thread i found the

ARC-DooMKernel-v18-FIX1-lower_boot.img file. Is this the right one? Should I rename the File? And whats about the modules? Is this the right one? MODULES for DooMKernel (v15 onwards), Rename?

Sorry for my Noob questions and my poor english.

Best regards

Hi all,

I make a application android for my customers but my customers want to allow their customers access to tablet with my application "blocked". The final user can't quit my application, he can simply use my application.

Tablet must have ethernet (via usb to lan adapter), the bottom button bar must be hidden.

Can you recommend me a model ?

Thanks a lot,

Lenovo thinkpad offers alot of security for the tablet and is integrated into the framework and not a app alone, which makes breaking the security alot harder for regular users even with root enabled.

Do you test this tablet?

Do you think it's possible to wake up this tablet automaticaly the morming? by a magic packet or a rtc alarm?

Thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] Andrdev:
Hi Alexandre17220,

I think we are working on similar projects because it seems we have tested the same tablet and we are also lookgin for the followinf important things :

-A- securing the environnement by prohibiting the user to access the Os interface

-B- use a ethernet device via an USB adapter.

We have tested the following ones :

- Toshiba Folio 100 (ok for point A & B but not enough tested on HC 3.2)

- Acer Iconia A200 (the european tablet seems to be not rootable yet)

- Samsung Galaxy Tab P7510 (rootable without any problem so point A must "workable", but we habe problems with point B : do you connect your Tab with Ethernet ?)

Hi André,

The samsung galaxy is very good, I have rooted it via this link http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/

Yes my application dialog with a server via http request. So I don't want use wifi because it's slow and very limited.

If you want to hide the bottom bar you can use this code :

try {
Process myproc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"su","-c","service call activity 79 s16 com.android.systemui"});
myproc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "impossible to kill the bottom bar", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

i tested the firmware on my acer a500, but not the physical lenovo hardware, but thats not important here.

and since wifi is going offline during deepsleep on tegra2 tablet, i doubt any magic packet can awaken any tegra tablet unless you force wifi always on, but then alot of angry users will complain about battery life.

I flashed the green notification icons on top of the theme ( otherwise they stay grey if I'm not mistaken ). I mainly did it because I hate the semi transparent notification drop down. The original rom theme has a solid grey ( like in my picture ) so flashing that on top fixes it

Is there a good alternative to the Gmail app? I need support for threaded view, and must be able to view messages when offline.

I have my personal Gmail account synced to the Gmail app, but I also want to see my company email (which uses Gmail as a back end) in an app. Don't want to mix business with private emails though.

At the moment I access company mail through the browser interface which isn't optimal.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jayerfernandes:

U can use the default exchange mail app. Just setup as IMAP account.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Mittaa:
Have tried a lot of different mail clients, but ended up using K9.

K9 do not have the most sexy GUI and I hate the icon even I know why devs keep on to it ... but honestly ... come on a head of a robot dog LOL

It have some smal bugs, but all together the best mail client I have tried until now.

I actually likes it so much that I contributed with a Danish translation.

BTW its open source and its possible to download latest version from http://code.google.com for free ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] eltarod:
Best mail client is Maildroid:

https://market.android.com/details?...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYWlsZHJvaWQiXQ..

Better than K9 and does support threaded view.Just try it...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitsson:
Thanks, but again it doesn't support threaded view ;) Though I understand there are some custom versions that do.

Thanks, have tried it and it's not bad. The threaded view is a bit cumbersome though, it groups messages correctly, but you need to exit each message to view the next instead of just scrolling down. Will keep it though.

Wish I could duplicate the Gmail app actually, or even better port the Mail app from iOS.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] anlimdy22:
Why don you use default samsung email? It can be set as pop3 or imap. Can create multiple account on it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bpivk:
Why don't you use Gmail?

If you have two Gmail accounts just add them both to your phone. Your mail won't mix, you'll just have to select the account you'll use in the upper left corner.

Or you can use the default Samsung app like anlimdy22 suggested.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Mittaa:
K9 offers some features that I need, and most important ... editing in Gmail and Samsung mail is pain. I use Swype Keyboard and it behaves odd when I use Gmail and Samsung mail.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitsson:
Honestly, couldn't get that to work - just forced closed time and time again, and when it did work it couldn't verify the settings (the very same ones that K-9, Maildroid and the Gmail app could). Better apps are usually available externally ;)

You're right, I assumed that it would mix emails from both account but it actually works well. Can't say I think the system to switch between accounts is the smoothest possible, but usage-wise it's still the best experience I've found. Thanks.

Yes, K-9 is powerful and feature-rich but I just prefer the Gmail app. The threaded view alone is worth it. Each to their own though!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
Turn off word suggestion in Swype, it will help you to edit mail in default email app.

On the subject, the stock GMail app is the worst client I've ever seen. No multi touch is a PITA. The stock email app is good, still not the very best out there. Tried almost all the clients, Maildroid and all, yet to find one which suits my need, K9 was good, maybe I've to try it again.

Its really unbelievable that the client in iOS I used 3 years back was way better than all of these in Android!!!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitsson:
Actually, I'd say the iOS Mail app is still better - where better, for me, means easier to use. Swipe-to-delete alone makes it a winner.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
Yes, that's correct. Simplicity of using is way beyond everything.

Anyway started using K9 again, nice, but I couldn't get the idea of getting 'Message Sent' confirmation/notification! I guess it was present before or am I missing something...!

Pretty much just like the method we suggested in your other thread, at least for the PNG edits. XML edits are more difficult, .9's are harder as well but you can easily swap them if you have some from other themes.

You can add the apk on the system/apps folder, and remove the other launcher. Make sure the launcher your using is stable or else you'll find yourself using RSD, unless you are able to get to the market, or a file system where you have other launcher apk's (I use widget locker so I'm able to add the market to the lock screen if need be). If your launcher isn't stable with the rom your running you'll lose the ability to go "home" and if your using stock lock screen all you can do is unlock the phone to a black screen.

I was thinking "360 launcher" but as its in beta.... I have threw the apk in the /system/app folder when my theme was finished cooking, but all for not.

Luckily i know bad things can happen when making a theme and have Safestrap installed

If you plan on releasing the theme for download, you might want to ask the developer for permission to use their launcher before you do.
