I have serious problem since Google Play is replaced instead of Market...

I CAN'T INSTALL ANY APP ANYMORE. It keeps being stuck at "Starting Download" and I can't do anything to fix it!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arielVengeance:
yes, i cant deny this, im also having same problem, but only when i try to update all my app (already installed app), it said 'starting download' and nothing. then i try updating it 1 by 1, and its work..did you have 3.4.7?if you already have this version and the problem not fixed, maybe you can go 'clear cache' of google play in manage application..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fatchick1o9:
Thx for the APK. The new market is super fast now! I replaced Market 2.3.6. I kinda had to shoehorn this APK into my Froyo Bumblebee v2.4 ROM on LG VM670 since it didn't want to sideload properly.

-Use Titanium Backup to Backup your version of Market then uninstall Market 2.3.6

-rename the Google Play APK to vending.apk

-use RootExplorer to mount / as r/w

-copy the new vending.apk to /system/apps

-change permission to rw-r-r--

-reboot phone

The new Google Play APP icon didn't change (could be the Glow Legacy Theme I use with ADW), it stayed the same as the original Market Icon but the new market works.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] XGr7078:
NOt full version

I have this version of the market I can download only apps because the other tabs/option are not present on x10 mini.:mad:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jimcantfixit:
Are you on ICS? I had this problem on ICS but not on MiniCM7
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] XGr7078:
Quite true I was downloading loads of apps from this app/update market. in MiniCM7 2.1.9
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ferotakis:
Why you remove compatible chek on Gplay aka Marked ?

How do you think ? User informed not supported app or bypassed this and download looots of **** who is not work (ie HD games on Mini ) or left stuff before download coz they are uncompatible?

I download for example Zinga Poker , yeah its work but its out of screen ;)

Anyway back to stock G-play :)

And + for the nice try.

PS : Auto update not work like already reported just one by one .
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
But some stuff does work like steam. So when you have the patch its Downloadable unless like me your on ICS then its bugged still
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ispongoo:
I tried and it didn't work for my mini, I could have done it wrong though, how do u do permissojns because I only had boxes to tick on root explorer and no 6.4.4 thing, can someone explain in more detail please

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ispongoo:
Thank you for your help, ill try now
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ispongoo:
Sorry again but after I reboot should I in should I install the Google play apk?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
Yes you need to reboot. Otherwise the system won't recognise the changes. ICS will show the optimizing apps screen after install

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arielVengeance:
it fixed the compatible check, thats mean, you can download loads of apps, but for our devices, which is in qvga, not all apps will ok when running.

auto updates now working for me, need to update it one by one.. :p

Not working here. Still doesn't appear country restricted apps like Play Music (Google Music).

I can do this but I need to start WiFi hotspot on my laptop, through Hotspot Shield, clear Play Store data, and then access to full market.

Will be possible to mod this restrition?

i found that the opening is too small to fully insert my micro usb cord to even charge the phone. and the case is kinda hard to take off.. any ideas on what to use to chip away more space to allow my micro usb head to fully insert?

PS:im not using the oem cable.

pictures coming soon

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

the cable on the left is the non-oem while on the right is an oem cable.

my oem cable has no usb end. it's snapped in half because something happened to it lol

EDIT: nvm guys, critical thinking solved my problem. i simply took a wire cutter, chipped away the thick rubber part and now it inserts fine lol
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinesh690:
Hey guys,

Despite the poor placement of the LED light on the Arc, is there any build.prop tweaks or apps ( compatible with ICS preferebly) that make the LED light work/persist for notifications? I have a feeling that it does work but then turns off as soon as the screen turns on but that is rather pointless ( not sure about this)

Thank you guys.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacho:
So I was looking for a way to reduce brightness of the screen as i found it way too bright even at lowest setting and I found this info on SGSII forum so all credit goes to them. I just thought some of you might find it useful. So here it is.

Couple of steps that I did that are different are that I used root explorer to transfer files from and back to the phone. While you are doing this you can also edit the crt animation like i did. I'll attach my apk file and you could use it if you use stock rom I believe.

You are doing this on your own and keep that in mind.

Also note that this is going to reset your wallpaper and your gmail account(meaning you have to sign in again).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
What's all the hubub about? Have you tried this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...2ZWZpc2gud2lkZ2V0cy5icmlnaHRuZXNzbGV2ZWwiXQ.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacho:
The difference between the app and this mod is the minimum brightness. With this mod you can go beyond minimum that is set by samsung. For example, minimum for stock has value of 32 and one that I edited is 2. Plus you can add crt effect when turning off screen.

edit: I forgot to add that if you are not using automatic brightness you can simply slide your finger over the notification bar to achieve the same results as the app is offering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Plexicle:
There are apps that can lower the brightness way below the minimum you can manually set in the settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Not to 2. The lowest available to any market app is 10.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacho:
Well, with settings change that I did I get almost identical auto-brightness behavior as with galaxy nexus. I quite like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
works great! thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
The lowest setting is "way to bright "? Seriously?

I have mine set on half to bring out the beauty of the screen

Is that how yall getting 18 hours battery life by having screen set to pitch dark? I smh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
The problem is that it IS too bright in a dark room. Not beautiful, bright.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
If u use screen dim in the market it can go below the stock brightness control.

Sent from the Almighty Note! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
ok? if you like somebody's work hit thanks, if not just don't comment at all. the screen dim you are talking about does not lower the brightness levels, it just dims the screen meaning your battery life doesnt improve. while this mod actually does REALLY lower your brightness=>better battery life as well!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Projectdwnshft:
this isnt to far off topic but is there any way to adjust the brightness of the touch buttons at the bottom of the phone....it seems like you should also have an adjustment on how bright or dim those buttons illuminate
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I just turned mine off. I know where each of the buttons is, and unless im in the dark, i can see them anyways. No need to have them illuminated in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
No, dimmer does change the brightness to 10. Its below the default, but its still pretty bright in the dark.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllTheWay:
Problem solved.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
The only problem wiht all these apps is that they disable the functionality of the auto brightness.

I don't want to keep messing with the phone to get the right brightness

I may check your fix OP. Thanks for posting it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
Like this mod but would be great if it was a zip file. So we can flash it.

Sent from the Almighty Note! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
it actually is easier than flashing a zip file. all you gotta do it use some kind of root explorer apk and copy paste the file. as it regards most apps in the market, I have the feeling they just put a tint on top of the screen and make it look less bright
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
Where do u place the file? I have root explorer and know how to use it.

Sent from the Almighty Note! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
After downloading the apk file, it doesn't show up on in to-be-installed options list on the Apk Manager app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
I use an app called screen filter. It's purpose is not the same nor does it save battery but is pretty handy at night..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
It should save battery... the pixels are less intense. No?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Yes. On any amoled screen, the darker the image, the less power it uses. How big or small of a difference? That's another story.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
It actually cheats by applying a black filter on top ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
Doesn't matter the pixels get less power to show less brightness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacho:
What you have to do is replace the same apk file located in \system\framework\ on your phone and if you are using any other rom besides stock at&t you have to go through the steps of modifying it yourself. Otherwise there is a very good chance you will brick your phone.

lost google account and wallpapers

I used the Root Explorer method to move the file per instructions.

I am stock/rooted - rebooted after the move.

When I did this, I lost my google account sync and the ability to change the wallpaper - select the option and nothing happens.

Before I copied the file, I made my old file a .bak file so I reused that one and it's back to normal, but did I do something wrong?

I'm thinking I'll try the ADB method instead as I would like a true modified autobrightness to save battery life instead of another app installed on the phone.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
I did it using root explorer but recompiled my own framework file. didn't affect gmail accounts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Benjyp:
This is great! Any idea how to change the min and max settings in the settings menu?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
Attempt 1:

Used root explorer push op's file to systems/framework then change the permission to the same as stock file then:

i keep getting fcs even i put back my stock framwork res apk.

Attempt 2:

Use NAndroid back up and follow those steps above to modify my own file (APK manager... steps) . My phone hung on the Samsung logo and never boots up. :(

What should i try next?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
Use AdjBrightness from market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
I know we have couple apps from the market. But really what the point of the thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
This thread makes it native. No external installs of market apps are necessary afterwards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scott Summers:
I think I did something wrong.

Per APK Multi-Tool 1.02 after clicking on the 'Script.bat' file:

"Java was not found, you will not be able to sign apks or use apktools"

(Latest version of Java installed)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SeanH:
Is that the real name? I cannot find it.

What are they?

Does anyone of an app on the market that lets you set the display below the lowest setting on the phone? Dimming using different color balance is ok but lowering the overall contrast is the best solution.

My phone is extremely bright on the lowest setting.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

I found an app called RootDim that seems to do the job. It has a setting from 1 to 255. The default lowest setting on the Note is 30. I have mine set to 1 and it still looks really good. I am surprised it will not go lower. You should be able to lower. You would thing at level one the display should be barely visible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbae2:
do you have the Java SDK installed or the Java JRE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GRishi:
make sure you have the 64bit version of java installed if your OS is 64bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scott Summers:
Both. SDK and JRE.

Thanks. I was able to complete 'OPTION 9' (Decompile) but was unable to do 'OPTION 11' (Compile).

Got 'An Error Occurred, Please Check the Log'. Rather lengthy log. I'll copy-paste if need be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
this mod only works if you are stock rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
I'd be more than willing to donate if this could be flashed with cwr
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
Yes, I'm root stock and didn't work. Anyway I have Juice Defender Ultimate and in there i have this option (dim to max -80% of the normal low light) I'm good for now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
Really it goes below the lowest phone setting?

I should check it out I did purchase it a while back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
It doesn't actually lower the brightness. It works like Screen Filter and just applies a black filter for anything below 0%. This causes the contrast to drop, and the display to look ugly. Lowering the brightness keeps maintains a full dynamic range.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
It still saves the battery. Did you get this mod working on your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SeanH:
This is the lowest setting on the Samsung Note.

This is the same setting in RootDim.

It does get dimmer and it does save power going all the way down to 1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbae2:
After some difficulties with the new version of APK tool I switched back to the old version 5.02 and got this mod working fine. Works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
Which version are you using? Whenever i do the re-compile to make the Unsign....apk always ~1.6MB which i know there's something wrong because the original file is ~9.4MB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scott Summers:
I caved and just downloaded 'brightness manager root' from the market...errr, play store. Good customization but lowest brightness is still the same as the standard level found on our phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SeanH:
Try RootDim. That is what I have in the pic 3 posts up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
+1 on RootDim. Works great for me. Have two launcher shortcuts for night and day, and goes much dimmer than the stock phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
Quick question on RootDim, I saw it have the auto Brightness feature. Is it the same as the phone auto brightness or dimmer(lower)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
Doesnt make it any lower than the normal lowest.... at least for my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Lol.. dammit you guys. When I first cranked that down I swore it was darker. But doing it again now, you are right, 29 is the same as 1. And I was happy until I came back and read this :D

Edit: After in uninstall\re-install, the app seems to lower the brightness a notch below stock. But not as much as this mod I assume.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbae2:
I am using 5.02 , works great, the final file is a little less then the original but it works fine. May take a reboot or two or a few FC's and kernel reboot but it works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
I used 5.0.2 too. The file only 1.7M after recompile compare to 9.4M.

Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note - please forgive if typos
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbae2:
Interesting are you perhaps missing a step like deleting the .arc file from the Keep folder ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
Nope, try 3 4 times. Read the instructions for almost 10 times to see if i missed any steps. I even put the instruction on a different monitor to follow. The only thing i can think of is i'm using notepad to edit the file. Instead of using other program like Notepad ++ or...???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbae2:
That is possible, could be saving it as a text file instead of an XML file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
NotePad could be adding invisible characters to the file, invalidating the xml which may cause problems. Download NotePad++, it's free and much more powerful. And it doesn't add those characters.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
I downloaded Notepad ++, and it did the same thing. Mann.. still 1.7M after re-compile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] i_max2k2:
I'm actually getting a file twice the size of the original, and I'm using Notepad++ , also when it talks about Enter "22" , I think with the new version its asking to "set the project" which should be option "24" and then do zip align, also the steps never talk about signing the apk, should we be signing it first before compression?

EDIT - NVM I was using the newer version, using 5.0.2 yielded an exact size file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cbqfly:
are you sure your not using apkmultitool instead of apk manager? that was the mistake i first made and had to press 24 to select the file and never was able to recompile with it then realized there was a download for apk manager further down the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scott Summers:
The developer for brightness manager root has updated his app to include a darkness filter (to lower the brightness past default). The app so far has worked flawlessly.
