It may not be pushing correctly. If you're in edge, it might take a while for changes to be effective. If on 4g or wifi make sure you have data sync on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JWhipple:
Have you done a restore from a NANDdroid backup? If so, you need to go into applications and clear data from Gmail. After you do that it will sync correctly.

[Acer Iconia A500] kiark:
Hi,

im on Lightspeed 4.2 and unfortunately the screen is turning on and showing the lockscreen every few minutes to once an hour. Why is this happening? i had the same problem on other roms before this one, so i guess it is a usual bug?

Cheers,

kiark
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, considering it is nothing more than an ICS "Beta" build, I would say maybe.

But, typically, it is apps that cause the display to wake when sleeping. On HC, we saw these occassionally. Typically poorly designed apps that activate the display, especially when on Wifi, when they do their scheduled Synchs or Updates.

If you're using HC 3.2.x apps on ICS, I can only guess.... Things should settle down after ICS is officially released, and the app devs update their programs.

Or... just turn Wifi off, and see if I'm correct.
[Acer Iconia A500] kiark:
unfortunately this also happens when wifi is off :(

Anyone else experience problems/issues waking up the phone via the power button after flashing Telus roms based of Mr. X's stock rooted no ciq?

It acts as if the power button is broken and needs to be pressed several times before it reacts.

I do not get this with the stock Tmobile rom.

I am wiping data cache and dalvik before flashing, not installing any apps, not customizing, not even login to google on an SGH-T989.

Thanks,

[HD2 General] SOHOM:
I was using WP7 Mango with ICS dual boot, after upgrade the WP7 & ICS both I have new problem with touch screen.

Its working 2-3 mins after reboot, but suddenly touch is not working, again when I have pull the battery and restart the phone its working for 2-3 mins, and again same.

I have tried to go back Tmous stock rom, there is also the same issue.

Can any one help me out in this??

Thank you in advance:(
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
If the problem exists in stock windows mobile 6.5 then it is highly probable that it is a hardware issue.
[HD2 General] enigma1nz:
It is a hardware issue, but the reasons could be a few. Most likely the heat of a working device expands the digitizer connectors and flex cable, which is why the issue appears after a few minutes.
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
Replacement needed

Anyway a new touchscreen is needed!
[HD2 General] SOHOM:
Thank you for replyssssssssss

I was using Stock rom from yesterday, working fine now. I went to WP7 same issue.

can it be virus issue??:confused:

May be some virus is in 1GB memory (ROM).

I don't know anything though :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] enigma1nz:
Not a virus. You mentioned you went back to stock rom and had the same issue, so now there is no issue? I guess it's solved then.
[HD2 General] SOHOM:
Yes there was some issue, don't know what was that but after Wipe(TASK29), there is no issue with touch. Working perfectly with "HD2_Pdaimatejam_Rom_Wp7.5_mango_7.10.8107.79_v7.3_L2_r5.51"

Issue starts from v7.5 for me though,

And touch is working perfectly with Protadroid.

I knew that was not a HARDWARE Issue.

hey guys im planing to buy a htc evo 3d from this store: http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/4800/htc-evo-3d--sim-free-unlocked-black-

and i live in India.

Guys please suggest me if i will receive this item in time and will this device work in my country too??

please suggest me!

and hopefully the site aint spam or something??? :O

please advice!
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
It's cheaper from Asda Direct but I have no idea if they will send to or wether it will work in India.

http://direct.asda.com/HTC-Evo-3D-Android-Mobile-Phone/008718410,default,pd.html
[HTC EVO 3D] the pranam:
hmm.. its even more cheaper.. sadly i guess they dont ship to india! :(

http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-Evo-Sim-Free-Smartphone/dp/B0058FQL4Q

Amazon?
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
No they don't ship outside off UK. I already checked that, because that price is indeed cheap.

Although you need pay in pounds and the bank ( credit card ) also wants its share.
[HTC EVO 3D] davelis828:
get it from Expansys, i think they ship to India

http://www.expansys.com/htc-evo-3d-black-eu-adapter+uk-plug-225592/
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
shame you can't get someone in UK to order it from ASDA and then ship it over - do you have any english friends that could do that? :p :D
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Well you have services for that. Buy services, who buy for you and ship it to you. Just search online.

But then it will be more expensive. Mauw I think you shouldn't do that let someone else buy it. If you don't live in UK then you just have bad luck, if you there on vacation then just let it be delivered to your hotel room.
[HTC EVO 3D] the pranam:
haha that is no worries..

they have international delivery too.. and i will get item in just 2-5 days.. so that shoudnt be a problem.

but before i purchase i just wanted to know will they device will work in my country and whether or not the site is spam.. :D

coz the device rate is like too low.. :P
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
It will work if they use GSM in India. But the stock rom will probably have no India language, but someone if you got your country sim card in it will detect India language.

But for the stock you need to use morelocales from the market. In custom roms you find all languages I believe. But know what you do before you purchase your device on the other side off the world.

I bought mine GF an HTC Sensation in the Netherlands and it was original from the UK, but I took it in mine backpack to China and tested it before, so if something was wrong I could easy return it, but in your case if you want return it you need pay expensive shipping cost back to the UK.

As it was from UK that meant there was no option to Choose chinese, but its in there anyway, you just need use this app.

[HTC EVO 3D] the pranam:
hmm..thanks DexterMorganNL, language is not an issue. im fine with english only.

as you quoted. its going to be a problem if there is some issue with device, its going to cost me a lot to ship the item back to the UK and get it replace.

although they have promised me they wont charge anything extra to re-ship the replaced item.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Yep but you still need send the item back before you get an replacement. Warranty I believe is handled by HTC world wide, but better hope you never need use warranty because in worse case they will say you need ship it to UK.

Have you also though about customs? I don't know the customs in your country, but in mine country the custom always want there share, especial with an phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] the pranam:
:O yeah... i dont know about the custom charges though.

ive got many international shipments delivered at my location with out any shares.

but this is the first time im getting an electronic item/phone from an international location... i hope there shouldnt be any customs.

but the item comes via DHL Express. are there chances of customs charging?? :O
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Depends on the custom law in your country, but in my country customs charge you starting from € 20. I don't know how that is handled in India.
[Defy General] Kayant:
Thanks for this i usually use autoapktool the easy way :p but the manual way is more fun:D
[Defy General] ktmbikerman:
Thanks so much for this tutorial Al, I really appreciate the effort. I'll give some feedback once I've flashed my first patch.

Edit: worked perfectly... I can now flash my country's baseband on any rom :)
[Defy General] nepotu:
I'm still building the update.zip files using the classical/manual method described by [] AL [], however this is not for everyone. For rookies there is an easier way to do it (check this out).
[Defy General] [] AL []:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm glad that you like the guide.

I will check out autoapktool and the "D4 Update Zip Maker" eventually...

[Although I had a quick peak at the zip maker and found it more confusing than anything...but that might be just me; need more coffee at this time...]

My guide is very long and maybe too detailed for the job needed really; but I find the manual way is really quick to do once you have everything set up.

OK, one thing I'd like to ask:

Any of you have used the latest version of apk manager that I've linked to?

If so, could you confirm/tell me what option number is the signing apk option?

The version I've beeen using is very old and that (option 16) might be different now... and I'd like to correct the OP if needed. I'm just too lazy to download and try the new soft at this time.. 1 Thank for 1st the answer on this ;)
[Defy General] ktmbikerman:
Hey AL, I used the same apk manager as you, but the in new APK multitool it is option 19 - Sign an apk.
[Defy General] pavelcheto:
Signign zip

I'm having trouble signing the zip. This is the log from APK multi tool:

Spoiler content hidden.

I do not understand what's wrong? Is there another way to sign the zip?
[Defy General] neo.ank:
Thanks [] AL []…

I really like the detailed manual guides, they really help you understand things clearly..:)

Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above
[Defy General] [] AL []:
Well, I'm no expert of the APK multitool and as mentioned before, I'm even using an old outdated one w different options... But look around on xda and on the Play store, there are numerous apk signing tools around and it should be a fairly simple process (I might look further into it for you later once I get access to my desktop...)

Thanks.

I'm glad you like them.
[Defy General] mycorrado:
recovery.zip

Hi,

I used the steps you outlined to build myself a CWM 5.0.2.7 'recovery.zip' to switch back from touch on my T989..

what I did was to use recovery instead of system so there is a recovery folder and inside it, recovery.img:

ui_print("CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 Flasher");

ui_print("----------------------------");

mount("MTD", "recovery", "/recovery");

show_progress(0.100000, 40);

ui_print(" Unpacking ");

show_progress(0.100000, 40);

package_extract_dir("recovery", "/recovery");

ui_print(" Replacing Files ");

unmount("/recovery");

show_progress(1.000000, 10);

ui_print(" Done !! ");​

my updater-script seemed to work fine but my phone is still at 5.8.1.3 touch..

Any suggestions as to what I did wrong?

Oh, and many many thanks for the well written tutorial :)
[Defy General] [] AL []:
You're welcomed and thanks to you.

As for your question, well, I'm no real 'zip patch guru' here and I'd have to dig and learn quite a lot more on this before writing up or suggesting a script to you.

But, I think that recovery is a 'big piece' to replace on the system and really, this would fall outside the scope of this tuttorial. Remember that I mentioned 'for simple apk/file replacement'...

Furthermore, your script might need to delete the files you want to replace first, then replace them and then set their permission/owner ...and what not!?! [again I'm just speculating here and don't take my words for granted - I might be completly off...] All that might actually be done more easilly with the help of a (or some) [sub-] script...

Finally, I'd suggest you to download [if you haven't already] the touch recovery ( v2.2.1) from Team Win and to have a look at its updater-script and the scripts it uses. It's a good occasion to learn anyway... I also imagine that it is very close to what you want to achieve and you might just need to replace your recovery file(s) and re-sign the zip before flashing....

Like always; do a nand backup before flashing anything serious like this...;)

Good luck and tell us how this turns out for you.

Cheers,

/A
[Defy General] androidnerd2:
Hey.. Can you convert my updater-script to Edify's updater-script ? :)

I tried but something is wrong.. Please can you make it for me ?

Here is the zip file of that script..

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51440399/update-script.zip

Thanks for this guide anyway.. :)
[Defy General] [] AL []:
Your Amend script was very simple:

show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:framework
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app
show_progress 0.1 10

From the OP, 2 links: "If you're interested in reading more or want to go a little more 'hard-core' on this, you can go read here and here."

--> First of them @ § Section "Copy To System & Data:-" (exactly like yours):

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
becomes these two lines:
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

--> @ § Section "Folder Permission:-":

set_perm_recursive 1000 1000 0771 0644 DATA:app
becomes:
set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0771, 0644, "/data/app");

So your next 2 lines become:

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/framework");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/app");

--> "Progress bar":

Edify:
show_progress(fraction, duration);
Amend:
show_progress fraction, duration

So your old script is mainly doing the same thing as I've explained in the OP: it replaced files from a package onto the system folder. It was also setting permissions/ownership for 2 system folders [but those are the default values for those folders anyway and this might not be needed afterall...]

So basically, you can use the example zip from the OP and its' script untouched; I believe that it should work "as is". Just make sure that you follow the rest of the OP and organize your "package" [files inside] properly and then sign the zip. If it still doesn't work, please refer to these comments below.

Cheers and good luck.

General comments 'to all'

re this:

Different phones and roms use different mounting partitions, block sizes, SD-EXT1/2/3/4,...; that means that there will be cases where certain specific scripts will be required. No one can give that to you if you do not give the basic details/info about what you run on.. Again, also please read the two links given above and do your part of the work in order to find out your system's specifics and learn the very basic 1 or 2 scripts.

Check different zip patches that worked for you before and study their scripts and then go experiment... But as always,

backup first

.

[Defy General] [] AL []:
Hi and thanks,

as per your issue, strange apk that disappear..

Well I've said it before: I'm no expert at debugging apk multi-tool issues.. but what came to my mind is did you set your windows variables path for java?

Other than that, I see out of memory message...don't know if it's part of the issue or just part of the crash spitout... I suggest that you seek further help on the apkmultitool thread directly maybe.

Otherwise, try getting something like "zip signer 2" from the Market and try signing that way.

hi everyone!

dont know if u notice.... the option for facebook contacts sync in the social hub was removed in the new Ics Rom the problem with this is that all the contacts pics are now small resolution.. so there pixalated as.. f....k

anyone knows a solution for this??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kranti2064:
Me saw that too... and so has the inherest ability to sync fb birthdays to tw calendar also gone... Any workarounds anyone??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Yes, HaxSync paid app and works better syncs higher quality photos, events and birthdays. Worth the pennies it costs from play store.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben77uk:
Also noticed that it's missing, however a review on GSM arena seems to suggest it should be there?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decodex:
not there any more and 3rd party application is the solution.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skorzo:
Any more? is that SURE? and... Why? Do you have any source, please?

Is it permanent for ICS roms that are to come?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1n:
I actually created a new thread for this not knowing that it has been asked...

Yes, I also noticed the GSMarena review and so I thought that I had a bad update. I tried to restore to factory setting and reflash the firmware update but still nada.

My current conclusion is perhaps for somewhat reason some firmware versions have the SNS contact integration and some don't...

Mine is XLP7. Would others kindly share their firmware version and situation on the SNS contact integration?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reshad94:
For me contacts and calendar works fine !

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corsica76:
Not possible with ICS.

You can try friendcaster(free) and HaxSync (paid).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasappra:
I am using ICS DXLP7. If you just upgrade from Ginger to ICS without doing data wipe or factory reset, calendar and messages were fine but Official Samsung ICS ROM (upgraded using KIES) doesn't have Facebook Contacts sync anymore.

However, if you did do the factory reset after installing ICS on you Galaxy S2 ... poor you, you will not be able to sync any of the three (Facebook contacts, messages, and calender). Must use third party app.

I just rooted my phone about 3 weeks ago and finally got CWM last night, but ever since I rooted my phone I get the beeping about twice a day Im roaming. I will be sitting here with perfect signal then all of sudden starts beeping that Im now roaming. I know the rooting has nothing to do with that its just a complete coindence since that time. I got the phone the day it came out and I have never had to get it replaced or even looked at I have never had the LOS, or any of those problems. Just wondering if anybody else is having roaming troubles? I have no custom rom or nothing just using ADW EX Im just rooted and now with CWM so hopefully I wouldnt have to unroot to take it in to get looked at for this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] griffindodd:
Maybe this has been pointed out before, but it's a neat trick I stumbled on.

Here's a useful way to switch instantly between two Launchers using JKay Deluxe Mod...

- Set your standard home button action to Launcher #1 (I use TW)

- In JKay Deluxe Mod settings, enable home double-click and point that to Launcher #2 (I use Go Launcher here)

This way you can toggle instantly back and forward between 2 completely different launchers simply by one or two taps of the home button, feels pretty slick.

JKay is already built into the awesome Saurom, or you can look at the JKay Deluxe Mod thread.

Just sayin' :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
There's also an app called Home Switcher in the market that works. I have like 4 launchers I switch from depending on how I want to theme
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] griffindodd:
Yep Home Switcher is great, just thought this was a nice alternative that:

a) Works from a hardware button

b) Is free
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Last I checked home switcher was free also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlkSquad:
Cool idea, I knew about the double tap home button but hadn't thought to use it in this way. +1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aaronv89:
Not trying to be rude or anything, just wondering. Why would you need more than one launcher? I am very intrigued...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
They run different and have different options ect ect
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] griffindodd:
You can set up each launcher completely differently.for example I use touch wiz for all of the heavy widgets and real time info as it's hardware accelerated. I have go launcher set up for higher customization with themes and icon packs for my own feel, I don't bother with widgets on go launcher as it's so laggy moving between screens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] id_mew:
This is a pretty smart idea Griffindodd.

I did use Home Switcher, but this is faster and more convenient.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
Cool idea. This is how I was able to get QuickDesk Pro to work properly without having to set it as the Default launcher multiple times a day. Check out QDP. Super useful as you can invoke it any time even when in a different app. You can add shortcuts and widgets to it. Pretty handy to have your audio player and or volume widget in QDP and change music or volume without leaving what you are in, say like a game. Only thing that sucks though is I just learned the dev is no longer supporting it.
