[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrmidon83:
Just to confirm though, are you editing it as a txt file or what? I have no knowledge of editing bin files which the kcm files seem to be.

Eg: vision-keypad-ell.kcm.bin
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineaira:
As textfile yes, but they should be just plain *.kcm files, not *.bin as I believe, let me check that, to be sure.

--Edit:

They are just *.kcm, not *.bin, but I'm not sure how that's done in other Roms..

If there are only *.bin files, then I don't know how to edit those.. I know that *.kcm can be edited as plain text file.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrmidon83:
Cool, I'll look into it.

I notice you put '*.kcm'. My memory is failing me but doesn't this mean hidden files? In which case I didn't look for them. :P

EDIT: Nah just looked, they are all BIN files. Looks like MIUI does things differently.

Oh well.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineaira:
The star doesn't mean they're hidden, it is a joker sign. Just means all filenames that end with .kcm (wich is the extention). The .bin files are packed files, binary files. But I can't remember how to edit those as plain text... Try to do it with something like hexeditor on the pc.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicko99:
All the files that I have in the folder you specified are *.kcm.bin. I guess I need to find the .kcm source files some where and compile them?

Regards,

Richard
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineaira:
You can pull them from your phone with adb. Then edit them with a program like hexeditor.

I can't explain how, as I do not have any *.bin files on my phone or other rom.

If I can find one somewhere in a download or something (you are on CM7 if I'm right) I'll post instructions tomorrow about how to do it. If you'd like me to, that is.

HOW TO: remap the £ back to FN+Z

Okay here we go.

Before we begin, I suppose that you all know how to set up an adb session with your phone..

And you need this program to be installed on your PC:

Free Hex Editor Neo

You should make a backup of your current working ROM with your favorite recovery, so if something goes wrong, you can just reflash the backup, instead of loosing all your data and settings.

Now start a cmd prompt on your pc (Windowskey+R, type "cmd" hit enter)

browse to your platform-tools directory (cd path-to-platformtools)

Make sure your phone is connected:

adb devices

And execute these lines:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit

You can now read and write to the /system folder on your phone.

Next you need to pull the *.kcm.bin file you'd like to edit. (For the OP this is most likely the "vision-keypad.kcm.bin" or the "vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin", but if they aren't the ones used.. then try and edit the "qwerty.kcm.bin" or "generic.kcm.bin" files)

This is done by entering the following:

adb pull /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /tmp/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin

Or one of the many other files if this one isn't working.

Minimize the cmd screen for now and browse on your computer to the platform-tools folder (or the folder where you executed the adb from) there should be an new folder called "tmp", in that folder you'll find the file you just pulled from your phone.

Hit it with a right mouse-click and click "Edit with HDD Hex Editor Neo". (If that option is not available, start the Hex Editor and open the file from within the editor)

The first row and columns are blue, except for the first one on the far left-top side, this one is white.

Click it and type: "0000027c" and hit enter.

Now there are some hexadecimals selected in green. On the far right side of that row should be something like this: "6...Z.9.z.Z"

(If that isn't the case, find the line that does look like that and edit that line)

In the green field you've got, change the value to: "a3" (just type)

The cursor will automatically go to the next value, which is "00" leave that.

Press the arrow-key to the right once and edit that value to "a3" as well.

The field on the right side should now display something like: "6...Z.9.z.Z.£.£."

That's it, save the file and push it back to your phone by entering the following in the cmd window you minimized:

adb push /tmp/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin

Then restart the phone and it should be working!

----

I used the file in the .zip attached as my example file, to see how to do it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Where do you get the list of codes ? Need the Euro Symbol code ? __=€

Thanks

Edit google is my friend,tried 80 which shows in my file but just get a blank keypress?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineaira:
The Euro € sign is set in the X key.

That line is: "4...X.x.X."

If you want it in the Z key, type "0000027c" in the left top box and hit enter, type "ac20ac20" That'll give you the euro sign. Then the field on the right looks like this: "6...Z.z.Z.- - "

If you want it in the X key, type "0000025c" in the left top box and hit enter, type "ac20ac20" That'll give you the euro sign. (string on the right looks like: "4...X.x.X.- - ")
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrmidon83:
Thanks for that!

It'll be fun trying this on Linux. ;)

I'll let you know how I get on when I find the time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineaira:
For linux you can do the same as you need to do for windows. The only thing is that you have to find software which can edit binary files. A nice GUI based editor is ghex.

it's available in the universe repository.

$ sudo apt-get install ghex
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicko99:
Lineaira,

Thanks for this info. It worked fine! I now have a GBP sign on Fn-Z.

Regards,

Richard
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Easier way. Download the attached file, unzip it and place the contained file on the root of your sdcard, then type in the following commands using Terminal Emulator:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

busybox cp /sdcard/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars

reboot

Found this over at the Cyanogenmod forums ages ago :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineaira:
It is easier, but not as much fun and satisfying as doing it yourself, I'd say;p
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Exactly,I wanted to learn how to do it myself and now that I know I would say it is just as easy to pull the file from the phone make my edits push it back and job done don't even have to reboot,thanks again for the guidance Lineaira
[General Questions and Answers] TStarGermany:
Today I came across this: http://www.intomobile.com/phones/huawei/orange-stockholm

It lists a 3,2mpx auto-focus camera for the "Orange Stockholm", which is described to be a Huawei 8160.

Well, wouldn't that make a nice replacement for our 2Mpx fix-focus cam?

Has anyone access to a parts retailer / anyone who can find out where to get upgrade parts, if possilble ?
[General Questions and Answers] Froyo Dev Team:
one described in the link is not Huawei U8160 Huawei cell phone but another to do an update so you have to install a custom rom
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiveseven808:
So I just got one of these things (10.1) , and its SLOW compared to my G2x! (I'm blaming the launcher for one...)

What's up with that? They run the same Tegra 2 chip! I can't play videos back on my Tab but the same videos work fine on my G2x... I'm running MX Video Player on both devices, and my Tab wont let me do hardware decoding, while my G2x does hardware decoding on the same videos...

Is it because I'm running a custom rom on my G2x vs just a root and stock rom and pershot kernel on the Tab?

What's going on here? I would expect the Tab to be able to decode the same video as my G2x.

Also related:

Anyone know how to get buttery smooth UI Performance on the Tab [especially with live wallpapers]? Are there any good alternative launchers for Honeycomb?

Unrelated:

Can you change the dock/quick Icons on the menu bar? (task manager, calendar, world clock, pen memo, calculator, music player).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
First, do you have the latest "official" update? If you are under 3.1, it's a joke even compared to 3.2...

Second, you can't realy compare stock to custom roms, if you like custom roms, try the Task rom, pretty good!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiveseven808:
Yep! I'm running 3.2. I had to update at least twice for some strange reason... once to 3.2, and one smaller update afterwards.

Do custom roms make that much of a difference? Even when just comparing video decoding?

I'll check that rom out! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Probably not worlds apart between ROMs when it comes to video decoding, UI responsiveness yes but video playback less so.

Personally i either play downloaded TV episodes encoded in xvid in less than 720p or I'll play my own rips encoded in 720p specifically for the tab so I have no complaints about playback. I do understand however, the frustration people have about not being able to throw any file you currently have our may download onto these tabs and be able to play it smoothly. Comparing the tab to your LG phone is fruitless though as just because both may share tegra 2 cpus doesn't mean implementation is the same.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
It's because custom ROM's have specific kernel's that have governor's and I/o to set the phone straight. I would suggest clocking to 1.4GHZ and use pershoot's kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
I stand corrected. My impression has been that for the galaxy tab 10.1 there has basically been just two; stock and pershoot's. Then again, since i mainly only deal with my own model which has little or no developer support i could be wrong.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkvvoob:
Hello!

I've had my Desire for a year now and I've tested lots of custom ROMs. They all, save for one, have had problems with call delays - i.e. when someone calls and I answer, it takes 1-2 seconds for the other side to hear me.

Now I'm using Sandvold's ICS ROM and I'm generally happy with it. I've got the Call Delay Patch but it doesn't seem to be working.

Does anyone know of a working solution to this problem?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roscobigfoot:
Do you have the call delay patch from the android market? and if you do then it might not be compatible with ICS
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkvvoob:
Yes, I do have the Call Delay Patch from the Market, like I explained above. It doesn't seem to be working, though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Call Delay Patch works fine here [also using Sandvold's rom (version 0.4.2.1)]. Which version and kernel do you use? Performed full wipe?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkvvoob:
I'm still on Beta 0.3.10 with Tiamat 2.6.38.8.Do you think I should update to the latest? It sounded a bit buggy to me, from what I read in the thread...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Except for the camera preview, the roms works very well. I use it with stock hboot and tiamats-kernel and stock a2sd. Launcher is LauncherPro (switched to it because it's the smoothest for me). It works really nice. :) Yes, I got some black-screens or random reboots, but so rare, that I do not really care about it. ;)

So I highly recommend to update to latest version!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkvvoob:
Thanks, mate. I followed your advice and upgraded to the latest beta this morning. Still haven't had the chance to check the call delay, but the rest of the ROM is indeed much better than the previous version I used to have.

Hi Guys,

Now I am totally confused, another phone in 3 months that too with superior features than Xperia S !!!

I think I should wait now :(

And you just confused even more people.:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] r33p:
Or wait 2 years maybe even better phones will show!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
If you go by the "Wait til this or this comes" with tech, you will never end up with a new phone I'm afraid.

I'm sure there's a bunch of better phones in the workings at the moment, but I chose this phone (and my X10, and even my X1) because I liked them when they were released, and didn't worry about next months phone.

Out technology is becoming more and more advanced, and company's are naturally trying to 1-up each other, so there will always be "something better coming".

In the end it's your decision though, but I chose to spend the next two years with this fantastic beast of a phone :) and I don't think I will regret it ;).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperiax10.awesome:
no mate, actually I was just about to buy the xperia S on saturday from the current IT show in Singapore but this article !!! :(

I know phones will keep coming & I am really not interested in ant other brands..but there are certain things which are holding me:

1. Xperia Arc still looks good, better than Xperia S.

2. Camera also looks similar.

3. No physical buttons on Xperia S.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
Hell no, why on earth buy from IT show when the outside shops are selling at 730 SGD???

NEVER buy anyhting from the SG IT show except harddrives and memory. Everything else is RRP.

I think now I will go for recontact, I am eligible for early renewal on 29th march.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wellynz:
Dont wait for this new phone you mentioned, because by the time that comes out something better will be announced and the cycle continues.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zanndoth:
The whole reason why Sony fully bought over is to increase the release and production of new models. So I'm really surprised if another superphone will be out soon. They have a lot of catching up to do.

And I just bought my XPS from the IT Show yesterday. It comes with free media dock & the small square android display thingy(can't remember the name since it's at home). =D

I'm the type who usually buy the "other color" for SE phones but after I got the white XPS i kinda regret it. It looks like a toy. =x. So anyone who are going to buy their XPS, make sure you see the unboxed version before you choose your color. Cuz I can't change mine after they unboxed it or me.

PS: And there's an issue if you are using OSX. Cuz it didn't detect my XPS, although it works fine with Arc.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperiax10.awesome:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ssj_jaypee:
Sony should've kept the Nozomi name instead of Xperia S.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
Blah blah. All we know - from GSMArena interview - they MAY release something new this year, just because digital world develops very fast. But Xperia S is the flagship and will be for some time. And I don't mean weeks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
Im not so sure about this new superphone coming this year, I believe I read somewhere that they won't release a quad-core this year because its currently not really useful as most apps don't even use dual-core to its full potential. I will see if I can dig up the article :-) The S is the flagship this year and this hayabusa if it comes out is rumored to be the next Xperia play which had that codename. Rumors are rumors :-P

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-might-not-release-quad-core-smartphones-this-year_id27551

If we are lucky, a S4 phone will be released (read play2 or hayabusa), but really I couldn't care less, I am more than happy with my S thank you :-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unknown13x:
Hayabusa will definitely resemble last year's product. Just not the PLAY ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] somemadcaaant:
Read in a few places the Hayabusa will probably be the successor to the Xperia play, if it is it will have a better screen resolution and probably quality then the PSVita, tho not sure if Sony would want to bring out something to compete with the Vita so soon.

A week ago, my old Desire Z spoiled, im planning to get a used Desire S or HD. (Im having budget problems)

Which device should i get? They are both priced at 250SGD for a used device. The Desire S seems like a better phone to get, should i get it? I like the SLCD screen of the desire s but i also like the 4.3 inch screen of the DHD. The DHD has better camera, but DS has better battery...

Which phone has better dev support? <-- Super Important

Or is there a similar samsung device with similar specs with similar price point? (No SGS Pls)

If you're still unlocked a locked version won't work. Follow the videos to sbf back to stock. Make sure to download correct moto-fastboot and add the correct paths on your pc. Check the stickies in the development section and just use the videos to walk ya through it.

The links to all the files ya need will be in the videos.

Hope that helps.
