[Xperia Arc General] luckysquall:
Hi guys,

I'm freaking out. Rooted my Xperia Arc (didn't unlock bootloader) and after following the guides, decided to remove a few apks from the system/app folder, and moved them to the SD card.

After playing around, decided to hit factory reset... big mistake. The phone is almost fully functional, but home button isn't working and there's no lockscreen.

I figured I just had to get the files back to the initial place, right?

I finally managed to get them back on system/apps... but even after that, when I factory reset it again, it still not working. It looks like the "factory reset rom" got screwed and won't go back to normal.

I'm lost, what should I do? I've had the phone for like, 3 days. I don't really feel like unlocking the bootloader or getting another room.

What can I do? :(
[Xperia Arc General] iqbaljunaid:
Try to reflash with SEUS
[Xperia Arc General] luckysquall:
Thanks... but how do I do that?

And do I need an unlocked bootloader for that?
[Xperia Arc General] luckysquall:
THANK GOD!!

I made it work!!

The problem was in the permissions: the permissions on the files that I had copied were different than all the others.

I just ticked the permissions for all the itens, did yet another factory reset and it worked!

Thanks a lot!!
[Xperia Arc General] nujhum:
you dont have to unlock.

just download sony ericsson update service (SEUS), follow on screen instructions, and reflash it.

and download cwm recovery and make backup before doing anything with your system file.

Hi everybody :-)

I have problem using Skype on my sensation when I talk to someone with camera front or back the see everything green! Why is that c as n someone help me please?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

This is a known bug.

There is no solution.

Something to do with the HTC drivers...

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
So if you're wondering why your phone is losing it's color or if it's color is fading away.

You've come to the right place.

I stumbled upon this problem when I compared my Gio between my Parent's and my brother's Gio. It seemed as if the color on my Gio had seem to faded.. :p lol

Then I found out it's just because of my Screen protector! :D

My Screen protector was also thick so maybe that's why it was blocking some color. It may also be that my Screen protector was not clearly clear.

Hope this helps! :D :)

Your phone is completely fine! :)
[HTC Sensation] omid110:
is there any way to change RELOCKED TO LOCKED in bootloader?
[HTC Sensation] justexpect:
Revolutionary

I guess guys from Revolutionary can do it. "Revolutionary" is displayed instead of "Locked", so

I guess that it's simple to change that. However I don't know if this helps for warranty purposes
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Flash an ruu. It's the safest and easiest way
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
If you've unlocked it via HTC you can't have it back to 'Locked' - you'll always be 'Relocked' from now on. An RUU will make no difference
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Are you sure eddy? Not even via revolutionary s off + ruu + s on?
[HTC Sensation] khanem:
was thinking the same. anybody know how to do it?
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Try to s off using revolutionary , then flash a ruu and s on. This *might* work. Instructions are in a sticky thread somewhere. Don't return the phone with revolutionary hboot back, its automatically out of warranty
[HTC Sensation] justexpect:
It doesn't work. "Relocked" is still displayed. I've tried that.

You have to revert the flashing of Unlock_code.bin somehow.

BTW: please use "thanks" if my answer helped you.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
It really doesn't matter, if you used HTC Unlock your warranty is void, they know you unlocked, other than changing the word what the hell is the point. The new firmware 3.32 from Mike removes locked message replacing it with Revolutionary. Be careful flashing firmware it can cause bootloop if done wrong and those new firmwares 3.30 and 3.32 are only for ICS, GB will bootloop.
[HTC Sensation] justexpect:
restore rom image

I'm wondering if restoring a rom with cwm and the rom is before unlocking

the bootloader with HTC method will make a difference
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You CANNOT get it back to 'Locked' as nothing we have available to us (RUU, OTAs, FW, etc) touches that part of the phone
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Restoring a rom does not change the bootloader.

HSDPA 850/1900/2100 3G

No i am thinking of joining the 3 network in the UK as its the best network coverage in the area I'm moving to

Can anyone tell me if the 3 network and the phone are compatable

Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated as I don't understand the frequencies
[HTC EVO 3D] Luthien1:
thanks to htc not releasing kernel source, our dev is at a stand still....Nothing against joel, chad, you guys are great, but damb this 3d technology is just too secretive and they arent giving nothing out... so peace, back t owork
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Haven't seen the Mean and Clean rom threads, I take it
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
Very useful post, thank you so much. We all appreciate your incredible insight onto the subject.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
Disregard this post.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
Please tell me your kidding...

Lol kernel source means alot more than OC on current builds
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
I don't have time to sit and type out everything the kernel does, and how it can improve performance drastically ,( without OC) but I do have time to say that your info is wrong and I'd recommend researching quite a bit more.

Uh, yes we know this. Complain to HTC not us please. Thanks. Not trying to troll but this was pointless
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
You have to be joking??!!!!:confused::confused::confused: :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
Lol I think he is confusing modems with kernels hahahahaha
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
with most kernels...yes, all you get is OC

there are some, including myself and leedroid for example who actually enhance the phone experience

my kernels for example: i dont really OC either - i run everything at mfg spec

--> some features may need additional support from the rom

1) better battery life

2) way better audio quality (in both aosp and sense, with or without beats) . (suck it apple)

3) 48khz/24bit 2 channel audio over bluetooth

4) gpu enahncements

5) ntfs support (see #7 below)

6) vpn and wifi dialing support

7) usb host mode support - support for external usb keyboards, and storage devices, upto 4TB in size)

8) sql enahncements

9) 100% beats sound drivers over AUX, BT, and internal speaker

10) +mA over MHL/HDMI (only on some devices - due to differences in hardware)

11) extended wifi range, with faster xfer rates

12) faster charge rates, even when using pc usb port

13) CIFS access to windows server file shares

and last, but not least - but most important

14) my kernel was the 1st (and still the only as of the time of this post, per XDA member feedback) shooter kernel to make 4.0.3 fast enough to even be usable and provide 100% 2d and 3d gpu hardware acceleration

14a) i had the 1st ICS kernel on the shooter to have working: hw accel, bluetooth, usb disk drive mode support, multitouch, and wifi. --- yes THE FIRST KERNEL for 4.0.1 to offer that

as far as htc releasing source - all i need is their updated GPU code

i got camera 100% stable on 2.17 roms without ANY SOURCE to work from - all the remaining issues are gpu related

..these are just the major changes - good luck getting any ONE of these on a stock kernel
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
I'm new to the 3D forums but this is the best post I've seen here yet. Thank you :D
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
Thank you for your disrespect. It's noted.

This is one of the most ignorant posts i have ever read, and I deal with ignorant posts on a daily basis. You know why there aren't as many kernel devs as "rom" devs? Because you actually have to write code to make a kernel. There are thousands of rom chefs because someone did the hard work for them and made a kitchen. You plug in the rom, do a couple things and you have a rom. Kernel devs spend hours upon hours sometimes just trying to get a phone to boot. For a lot of times the least amount of respect, because you can't visibly see their work a lot of the time. Do some freaking research before you make ignorant claims about things you don't know.

I'm sorry for the rant, but this post just made me angry.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
I apologize for the rant and the anger was more directed at the op than at you. However even after walking away and coming back the tone of your post to me was still slightly disrespectful. Not as much as when I first read it, but I don't believe I am the only one who took it that way. I'm not going to argue about it, I've said my peace, and am moving on, if you didn't mean for it sound like it was taken then the interpretation was lost.
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
just wanted to add (a small venting session) - i spend hours - just on camera for 2.17 alone, over 200 - and i read msgs like post 3 ???

camera on 2.17 based roms - any kernel but htc stock (prior to my newer ones) - app FCed - wouldnt take pics at all

my newer kenrels - with no source to work from - take pics, and damn good ones

cost: about 200 hours of work, headaches, and family issues - but it got done

why are my kernels private? and not released to the public...under GPL i do not need to release source to the public if i dont release a kernel to the public - and last time i did something like this, i got kanged, and others took credit, or gave credit to another developer who in fact released weeks after me - AND STILL REPORTED ME FOR GPL VIOLATIONS when i was in fact 100% compliant

just because you all cant find my GIT repos dont mean they dont exist - every one of my kernels, even the private ones are either on github, or code.google.com - and they ALL have TIMESTAMPS of my commits and people still wanted to say i kanged others (who dont have 1/2 the features as me - and who commited WEEKS (not days or hours, but full weeks) after me.. this is why as of right now - i have no kernel thread in the 3d section of xda - but i do have threads in other sections of xda, where people are more grateful for what is GIVEN TO THEM FOR FREE - and yes, there is a GIT repo for the other kernel just as there was for the kernels i had in this forum - that was available to all users (just with beats and intellianthrax removed)

now people are on ME (not htc - but me) for source... my newer kernels are not public

so if EVERYONE who has went after me or made threats to go after me for GPL actually went after htc - they would be posting updates sooner

and adding

1st kernel to NOT have BSOD on incomming calls for shooter

i did a lot of things FIRST :) and i got the GIT COMMIT timestamps to prove it

one last vent

$3000 for 1st court case re: nda violation and to fight C&D - i won - but i still had to pay $3000 for a legal retainer

*drama on XDA caused owners of the NDA to reconsider their agreement and revoke it.

to date: $300 for threats someone on XDA made against me re: GPL when in fact the kernels they reported (or made threats to report) had a public git repo - and the person(s) reporting was given a link in public forum to the repo, as well as screen shots of said git repo... he/she/they/robert wilson (hotaru) still reported me (or made public threats to report me)

in order to protect myself, i did consult with a attorney - and if the asswipe did actually report me to gpl-violations - i know i will win the case, but thats another $3000 in fees im stuck with

so

$3300 to date in legal fees paid

200 hours just for 2.17 camera to work

wow.... how ungrateful some people could be
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I'm sorry for the disrespectful tone in my post. I guess personal stress is starting to show up in my posting. I was trying to be more aggressive towards the OP because he was whining like many people have been lately about stuff like this and ICS updates. But like I said, stress probably made the post more antagonistic than it should have been. I had a big fight with my girlfriend today and I'm stressed about school and paying for college. I guess I just snapped a bit.

@Chad: Please read my previous post if you're feeling ill-will towards me. I tried to clear up the misunderstanding. I respect your work greatly, having been very interested in the development scene since I first got my OG Evo. I hate seeing all of the crap that you're put through because of your work, and I'm sorry you have to deal with all of that just because you're better than the rest.
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
i posted b4 i saw ur post - BUT im still in general fed up with the shooter users on xda in general - other forums in xda have been drama free - and forums on sites outside of xda have been drama free

i put hours upon hours into this - then cause of peoples actions on XDA - i end up putting money into it as well - then to read posts like this is very upsetting

fact is - people are given something they can choose to use (or not use) - they see you can do things no one else has ever done on xda at all for any device PERIOD (and XDA is a huge community with 1000s of developers) - they wanna kang you, when they cant - they cause u legal issues

to be clear - never did i say i was the best - and i know im not

...when it comes to understanding kernels for these phones (or any phone), Ziggy prolly knows WAY MORE than me

--my skill set is around C in general, I coded in C, C++, COBOL, and RPG-IV for over 5 years for the government (and code i had access to)

now when it comes to closed source IBM mainframe (s/390-zSeries) and midrange (as/400-iSeries) kernels -- its on :)

just look at the features, (and stability) i got working and compare it to ANY kernel on XDA for ANY device - and take into account user's feedback - most (not some - but most) users on my kernels get ZERO random reboots, lock ups, freezes, etc - this includes RDs who pushed my kernel to their phones limit with the intent to cause a reboot :)
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
No worries. My 3 year old was losing his mind while I was responding the first time. Which is why I was more aggressive, well that and I'm just sick of some of the crap here. Some of the stuff we as users put devs through is ludicrous. And it's time for it to change.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
Hopefully, here soon, the shooter trolls will start to disperse.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
XDA is (as far as I know) the biggest Android development site around. Anyone who asks about development is sent to here. That attracts a lot of assholes (like myself. :)) and the like. Seems this phone got unlucky and we've got a bunch of drama queens here.

Such a shame, because of the potential this phone has. I hate seeing morons chasing away devs and then complaining of a lack of development. It makes me wish we could take all of the good users and migrate to Rootzwiki. Much better site overall, because it is less popular. But the idiots would follow there as well.

With the way the community treats devs and generally acts stupidly, I worry that we will soon see days where everything is released over IRC instead of forums. Which might actually work, if you think about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
people, including my family, ask me WHY i do this, why i spend hours making kernels

i make them for my personal phone - i want the best on my phone - the best sound, the best performance, the best battery life (yes battery life AND performance)

why do i share? knowing it has already cost me over $3000

well - a great man once told me

-turn rage into hope

-turn hate into hope

but come $6000 in legal fees - you all wont see me again on XDA as a developer - ever

all i EXPECT is people to be thankful, respectful, and civil - nothing more, nothing less

and i know im not the only developer that left the shooter forums due to drama here at xda - a lot of great developers left

(ziggy, the rcmix kernel dude for example)

There are many debates out there, whether you can use Galaxy Note with single hand or not. Many people disagree whether Galaxy Note is a phone or a tablet...

For me it is just a large phone. I call it a large PHONE because I can use it with single hand. I can reach all four corners while holding the device in one hand.

Can you do that ?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
what you can do one handed depends on a few factors : how big your hands are, what app are you using, and how safe you feel like being.

How i use my phone at home is far different than how i use my phone when i am not, because there is far less of a chance i might get bumped or something and drop the phone. would you actually use your phone the way you do in your video if you were walking around?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveblue:
It is different kind of device. You use it in different ways. I use my note one handed all the time. Other times, I use two, other times use the stylus, often use via voice (way underrated, the voice recognition is the best on any phone). Every day I walk my dogs, two large ones, with my note in one hand and the two leashes in the other. Works fine, never come close to dropping it. Again this is a unique device, you use it differently and in a way with much much less frustration than a regular smartphone. It is a game changer.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
I have pretty large hands, and I find it is fine with one hand. I find I 'rest' the phone on my fingers and use my thumb. Points to note:

It does not feel as secure as a full grasp of the phone. When I do that I cannot use the screen.

This is much easier when I use a bottom-flip case as I can 'hold' the cover with my fingers.

I cannot reach the far top corner of the screen like this.

I sometimes press the 'back' key. I guess lefties would press the menu key.

To do anything half-way complex I have to use both hands.

EI22 and EL30 are different, yes the major difference is No CIQ. However the UI is different and there are a few other minor tweaks. As far as going back to EI22 why would you want to? I see why maybe because you like Marcusants rom but he does have a beta version of his V4 build out just look in his thread the download link should be there. Also have you tried Clean GB? It's a very stable rom and if you love TW you will like it. I'm currently running that and the MTD TW Samurai kernel. My phone is fast and super smooth.
