[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaageria:
Guys I was wondering if there are any other Roms that don't need our bootloader to be unlocked.

I am asking because I have used plenty of android devices rooted them and flashed Roms to them and all of those devices never needed me to unlock there bootloader and I am still not ready to unlock but I have rooted and installed cwm .

Btw I am new to sonyericsson :-P
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
No, I heard that Anakin works on locked bootloader, all others don't.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vancion:
my guess is the previous android devices you are dealing with are shipped with "unlocked" bootloader.

I think if you don't unlock the bootloader, you cant have custom roms
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaageria:
I have to disagree one of the problems we were facing was was that the phone didn't have an unlocked bootloader and we really wanted it to be to try out dual boot

Anybody else flash the Lewa port for the OV? I have been using it for about 24 hours now and really like. I had to switch to a new launcher because not being able to change the dock icons drove me crazy. I seem to have an issue with the 3g not wokring after a while and the only way to get it working again is to go into the 3g settings and click the cdma0 checkbax again even though it stays checked. On the plus side it seems very fast compared to IHO CM7.

My friend wants to see if I can hack his wifi with my phone and I'm pretty sure I can. I can do it on my iPod Touch, but I'm kind of new to Android. Is there a way I can hack WEP and WPA2k?
[Networking] Scrawson:
I have been curious about this, too. I imagine you could find some ports of aircrack out there. Otherwise you could shell and run a program like aircrack that would log packets and then transfer them to a more powerful computer to crack them later.
[Networking] yo2boy:
How did you manage to do it on your iPod touch?
[Networking] Naria9:
I saw a thread like this closed the other day, pretty sure it's against the rules.

Just a heads up.
[Networking] 85gallon:
Well it certainly will be now. Thanks Einstein!:rolleyes:
[Networking] Ji(n)X:
The fastest way most "hackers" get past WPA/WPA2 is to brute force the WPS pin with a tool like reaver-wps, though I'm not sure if it has been ported to android. Don't think it would be hard to port, would just take some work.

As for WEP, things like Aircrack-ng may or may not work based on what your hardware is.
[Networking] Snakeforhire:
Highly hardware-dependent indeed. And since Samsung doesn't publish datasheets for the hardware they package in our devices, we don't really know if the wireless interface supports monitoring mode and packet injection (talking for the Galaxy S2 here of course, don't know about other devices -but I seem to recall reading that on the HTC Desire S (my previous piece of s... phone, sorry) it's a no-go, the wifi interface is too basic to include this functionality -unverified though).

Maybe someone who installed Backtrack5 on their device can answer this ?
[Networking] zero visual:
download Backtrack installer. follow the instruction and boom there u go. I use it on my photon/kindle all the time.
[Networking] Snakeforhire:
might do this later on, I been toying with the idea lately anyway.

But first in the pipeline is fully trying out the dual-booting possibilities of the Siyah kernel for SGS2.. xD

(can't very much have both at the same time, since from what I gather, on an SGS2 the Backtrack install would populate the hidden and unused mmcblk0p10 partition, which is used for the 2nd OS in a dual-boot..)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KosanRio:
I've noticed that my camera is already a little scratched up and I think a year down the line it may be pretty scratched, can the lens be replaced?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rgarjr:
Don't think so. U probably need to replace the whole cam.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tizzy:
Anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to prevent camera lens scratch? I hate having a case on the phone, but if the phone is put on a table the lens is in contact with the surface... would a screen protector work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blazablaz:
I would buy any clear screen protector and make the cutout. It shouldn't mess with the clarity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
I put a clear tape over the camera when its not in use,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Snarksneeze:
I've replaced it before on my HTC HD2. It's not so hard, once the bevel is removed the outer glass falls right out. Got my replacement from Ebay.

Sent from my AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note using the XDA Premium app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] modmyphone:
Camera protection is actually one of the main reasons I love the flip cover by Samsung. The replacement back is just a tad thicker than the stock cover around the camera lens and cause it to recess a bit protecting it from surface scratches from just being placed down.

This version is perfect!

T;)hanks,I like it...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yomiguy:
whats the difference between this version and 2.8.1 from market? why isnt it this one in market? i have tried the market one and even i like it more than power amp!! but last update is november,did they stop developing?

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Anyway... I have tried it and I dont see the difference, just there is download option, online things, recommendations... but all the songs and things in those menus are in chinese!! :p I keep the market version to check if the bring any update in the future... Thanks anyway!! because its awsome!!! very nice, with the lyrics and all the stuff... I would add a lock screen like power amp, but being free... i cant ask too much..:rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
Warez, I think..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yomiguy:
I don't think so because you can find in market previous version for free which has more downloads than donates one. And the version posted here i found it through the browser also for free in market but i suppose for Chinese people because i wasn't able to download it, that's why i thinkit doesn't appear in market app.. However i finally installed the free version from market app although it's older and is really nice!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yomiguy:
yeah ur right!! i didnt see this post fron paul... however i think its the same, the other one is also in english but both contain links to singers and things in chinese... no problem for me because this player is wonderful and paul adds lots of skins to customize ur player as u like :) thx for the link
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
Oh, I don't know. I was only thinking this could be warez because it's described as playing audio files that the free version on the Market doesn't do. But maybe it's different for China? I have no idea.

I hope it's not warez because it's quite a nice little player once you spend some time with it, especially if you get the right skin. Better than the Walkman-themed version shared by paul-xxx? Worse? Down to personal choice, really..

i havent try that walkman one... but this ttpod i love it, and also its skins!! theyre cute!! equalizer, sleep mode, shake control, lyrics, beautiful widgets.... and i was worried because power amp wasnt free... lol
[Acer Iconia A500] glassr:
Does anyone know what ACER technical service looks at to see if warranty has been voided by customizations? I'd like to look at those things prior to sending in for service. What should those things read to show there has been no tampering?

Also, if an update zip installs when pressing vol- and power, does that prove that there is stock recovery and not CWM?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Technicality yes rooting or flashing the device will void your warranty. But there have been people from this forum say they sent in a bricked tablet for repair and Acer did so without charge. I would think its hit and miss depending on the actually technician that checks out your actual device. If your device is having issues and nobody on here has or can help. its worth a try to send it in.

Good luck
[Acer Iconia A500] glassr:
I'm really sure how that answers my question, although I guess it is in the realm of what I am talking about.

I received a500 today, downgraded, rooted, installed cwm then flashed rooted 3.2.1. Worked then lock screen would freeze then wouldn't shutdown, so somehow was able to install stock recovery through acer recovery installer then used 3.0.1 update.zip then OTA updated to 3.2.1 and things still froze up then hard reset and it worked a little then it froze again.

Am I stock as to not raise any red flags if I send it in?
[TouchPad General] apicia:
What is the easiest way to install CM9 on a fresh HP Touchpad? I have searched and found tutorials, but they are mostly outdated and for CM7.

I played around a little with webOS and do not like it. I did a master secure erase to put it back to stock. I want to install CM9. Can someone lead me to an updated thread? Once I get CWM on there, I am good to go.

Been flashing my Behold 2, Vibrant, and Galaxy II for a while. Getting CWM on here seems like a chore...

Thanks.
[TouchPad General] trapntan:
You're first install still needs to be with acme installer, so go to the official cm9 thread and follow those directions. After the initial install you can use Clockwork

I just installed CM9 on my touchpad this weeked. I followed "Idiot's Guide to installing CM7 Android on the HP Touchpad" on youtube. Just follow it and use updated files, where he used CM7 use CM9 of your choosing. Everything is running and been playing with it all weekend.
[TouchPad General] apicia:
Thanks you two. I just got CM9 up and running. I read that there is a market issue and two zips were created to fix resolution problems and enable the market. What did you guys do?
[TouchPad General] inrimartyr:
I did not use either resolution zips. Its a preference thing....if u think he icons look like they were made for a senior citizen u might want to look into the 160 zip....I am satisfied with the stock resolution.....only weird thing is in portrait you get an extra row of app icons....again I just set the default to not auto rotate in display settings and wallah ....again tis a preference as is most of the android experience. Play around with things and if u feel so inclined to experiment one suggestion would be to backup your current from via clockwork mod recovery.

Anybody know why powerAmp music players volume level is reduced when equalizer preset in changed to 'extreme bass' or 'soft bass'..?

actually I don't like dspmanager that's why am using powerAmp
[Optimus One, P500, V General] storm11:
I use player pro + dsp pack , that's amazing :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Marius Cristian:
because that's the way it's supposed to be.You can notice that even at your audio system home.If you can turn off the bass and you'll see that sound from other speakers will improve.

Anyways,I use power amp too,in my opinion it's the best.the volume reduces in order to not ruin the sound by adding pledges.You can turn off the limit by pressing limit button and move up the first channel from equalizer bar.Your sound will be very distorted.

Extreme bass and those things are especially for good headphones.It's obviously you can't feel the bass or something on a phone :)))
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jazzzzzzz:
You are right i today buy new creative headset it have good volume in all presets...:cool:

Now i feel lg headset is a waste ...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrbigshot:
Hi, So as many of you have heard/read, it looks like the GS2 will be getting ICS soon (possibly in a couple of weeks). That version will probably by 4.0.3 or .4 My question is where is the nexus update? At this rate the GS2 will have a better version of ICS.

I am day one Nexus purchaser. I have owned the G1, N One, Nexus S, And Now GN.

But out of all the phones I have bought, this phone is by far the worst experience. Frankly its because of all the things google said would be fixed with ICS and the fact that the other phones did not have glaring issues at launch. The browser lags, battery life is just OK, this app switch button lags really badly (yes 1-3 sec is bad Lag in this case) and so on and so on.

It bugs me that 4.0.3 and .4 fix this and the GS2 might have it before, but we haven't gotten it yet. I feel like I am using beta software cause there are so many things that need to be fixed in 4.0.2.

I never recall Apple releasing a software this messed up. And they usually have updates out relatively quick. Also Do not tell me to flash some rom, I do not feel comfortable doing so with a $600 phone nor should I be fixing the problems with this device.

I just feel like google needs to come out and say when they will update their phones. Give a timeline and if it needs to take longer to finish,then there is nothing you can do about it, but do not release software that has some glaring issues with it. Trust me if the nexus release in January as opposed to NOV-DEC. I think almost everyone would have still bought it.

Thats the end of my rant :)

Thanks!

P.S. I am ready for any and all flaming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
The SGS2's ICS will blow, it will be the same old TW garbage. Most of the leaked alphas/betas have been 4.0.3 fwiw. Each of them had pretty large issues of their own and if the final release is bug free I'll be really, really....really shocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwcorvus:
I heard it was coming out tomorrow, since I already have 4.0.4 I won't get the update to share though. You know why Apple doesn't have to update so much? When they release, it's already outdated hardware and software (but it's thoroughly tested).

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shoman24v:
if you want 4.0.3 download a custom ROM. You buy a 'developer' phone then complain that it has issues... The Galaxy Nexus will be updated in due time.

Being a custom ROM is always nicer than stock especially since our phones only run AOSP. Anything added over what Google only makes our device better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
Didn't we just have this thread? *eyeroll*

If the best thing you can find to troll about is the fact that the S2 is *finally*	getting ICS when us Gnex owners have had it since last November, and the S2 *might possibly* have a newer version for a few weeks, after which you probably won't see even bug fix updates for six months or more... I think you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, mate.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
Touchwiz + ICS is a ugly experience. At least on the leak builds I've used on my Epic 4g Touch. Plus what Samsung does and what Google does is too different things.

Your talking about a phone that been out for almost 2 years n comparing it to a phone that only been out since Nov of last year. The GS2 deserves it update since its been on the market longer .

Like I said Touchwiz just don't look right on ICS. Matter of fact any skin don't look right on ICS

You're welcome.

I think he's damn right. Don't tell me to flash a ROM on my GN made by some "dude" because that ROM is better then the one provided by Google engineers lol

I've bought the GN for the same reason most of us have - Timely Updates . Not to say I didn't think there would be a version updated by Samsung and one updated by Google...:|

Not to say the Nexus S users (most of them) are waiting for their updates too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiraj_panosian:
Coming from an SGS2 I can tell you the only thing which is good on this phone is the 720p screen, but it can't playback 720p movies.

The camera of the s2 was much better but I don't take a lot of pictures so I don't care.

And I don't know why but this phone lags a lot, but it doesn't have freezes nor random reboots

And last but not least, battery life was excellent on the SGSII, I could easily make it through a day, the battery life of the GN is much worse!

So please think twice before saying the SGSII is a joke because at some points it is even superior to the Galaxy Nexus! But I love this 720p screen so much that's why I keep it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
Does the numerical value of the OS you're using really mean that much to you? What major features are you desperately missing in going from .2 to .3? If someone repackaged a 4.0.2 update and renamed it 4.0.5, I guarantee you wouldn't know the difference. In fact you would probably brag how much smoother and more battery efficient it is.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
So many Nexus apologists in here.

The Galaxy Nexus isn't a 'developer' phone, that's exactly why you put developer in quotes. Technically it might have been made with developers in mind but you can buy a Galaxy Nexus in a brick and mortar store right alongside every other Android device with no special membership, card or secret handshake required. So the Galaxy Nexus cannot be forgiven any faults because it's a developer phone - I didn't get this thing for free at Google I/O did I?

Anyway, I agree with the OP so much. Even though the main reason I sold my SGS2 was to get ICS, I don't really care if the SGS2 is getting ICS 3 months later. I just want my Nexus to get OTA updates when they are supposed to be out, I don't want to be discriminated because I bought my phone in country X or from carrier Y and be stuck in the past while more special Nexus' are getting updates.

Why? You can't handle someone not sharing your opinion on a device and then sharing those views online?

We aren't slaves to these corporations. We don't sell a device we own at a loss, pick up a new device, find out it's not exactly as advertised so then we can go back tail between our legs. We pay good money and we have the right to be critical.

The Galaxy S2 was not even announced yet one year ago to this day. It didn't even come out in the US until 6 months ago give or take... 2 years is way off, just saying.

And if still owned my HD2 I'd be running 4.0.4 as well...

That's not the point of this thread, I'm sure most people buy a Nexus device specifically because they are not interested in unofficial/custom ROMs.
