Hey guys,

Hope this is the right forum for it. But I thought of a way to get the volume toggle back on the lockscreen.

I searched for a while here and on Google, but couldn't find anything.

Wouldn't it be possible to just write a script, which toggles between vibrate and ringer mode and just put a shortcut to run that script on the lockscreen (with Rom toolbox or sth). Unfortunately, I have no idea of scripting, so I don't know if that's possible...

Is it? And if yes could someone maybe write a script like that pls?

Thank you very much in advance!

Help access root password for my IPTV TB

I just got an IPTV device. It uses a TV remote for data entry. I am doing some repetitive tasks which are limited by lack of keyboard access.

If I can get root access my work will be more efficient and satisfying.

Can anyone help me root this mofo?

Here are some specifics:

The gizmo is running a modified Linux OS (as opposed to Android) which is referred to as a Linux Board Support Package (BSP) and is using

BusyBox

Ok so I got a question / issue that i'd like help with.

I got an Ace 2 with a touchwiz launcher.Now i like this launcher, but it's a bit laggy on my device and i didn't like how homescreens loop and it has only 4 dock apps.

So I fund and installed this -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061883

It's very customizable, does all the things I want it to, isn't llaggy at all and is still the touchwiz launcher.

Problem with that one tho is that it has a max of 8 homescreens (versus 7 in the stock version) and the screen indicators get messed up because of that.

So I really wanna fix that by reducing the max number of screens in this to 7.

Since it says in the OP that this thread is for help and tutorials, i was wondering if someone could help me with this and explain me how to change this :D

I also included the launcher app just in case

Missing soft keys and taskbar

I pulled a Noob mistake, and did not search and learn ahead. No back up made before I rooted. (did not know how)

This is my first Android Tablet, and thank goodness it's only an $89 one to make my mistakes.

So I have a Hipstreet Flare 9" which I guess has Allwinner A10 ???? If anyone knows for sure please tell me........

I used the guide and app here Hipstreet Root, to root, now I am not sure which step took the Taskbar away, but it was eather replace profile, or clear the Chinese apps.

I'm now a little over my head and could use help.......

What sould I do to get my Taskbar back, or am I screwed and I now need to flash the rom?????

The Tablet still boots, but at the lock screen I get a systemui has stopped working, the res looks lower, and with no taskbar the icons look bigger and I have fewer spots available for icons/widgets..... I will attach some pics.....

So being that I am new, and Y'all have the know how, could someone put me on the right path???

How can I best fix my issue?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Carpe-Dimi:
I looked at that script, but it doesn't remove any (vital) apps that could cause force closes in systemUI. In fact, i can not see any coding for removing apps at all :o

So I'd try a data wipe to see if that sorts your problem out. (tho this time make backups of anything u don't want to miss ofcourse)

If after that the problem persists, try installing an explorer that let's u browse and modify the system folder (root explorer is a great app for this) and check to make sure systemUI is present in system/app/ with rw-r--r-- permissions.

It probably will be tho, so last thing u can do is check the zip of allwinner and find the backup build.prop inside it and then use your explorer to overwrite the exisitng build.prop (located in system/) with that, give the file permissions rw-r--r-- (644) and reboot. You can just copy stuff from the devices storage after copying it onto there via usb cable. (this will undo the replace profile option of the allwinner script)

I kinda expect it to start working again after data wiping tho
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Greywolf_Ghost:
No luck........what all winner zip where????????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Carpe-Dimi:
what method did u use to root it then?

you mentioned allwinner, so i assumed u used the script linked to in the post u referred to.

What does the recovery option do that u can select below the factory reset button?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Greywolf_Ghost:
I followed the method in the read me file. I think I am screwed no matter what, as i can't get back, so i will live with no soft keys and the sys message.

the bellow option boots to a recovery, but no file to be found.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Greywolf_Ghost:
I've gone with Go launcher and I'll add Softkeys app later. I can kill tasks and still have almost all functions back.

I can live with it till someone gets our tablets Jelly Bean..... at least I didn't kill it.

Adfree / Cyanogenmod10 / Paranoid Android 2.54 / Galaxy s2

Hi, I own a (international) galaxy s2 running Paranoid Android 2.54 (Cyanogenmod10) and Siyahkernel 5.0.1.

Everytime I update the Adfree app and reboot, the phone reboots itself after 2 minutes (this happens only once, just after I do the normal reboot that adfree asks you to do, to clear the DNS caches) and then everything is fine. So is this normal? Do I even need Adfree now that I'm on Android 4.1.2 and Siyah?

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Looking for advices

Hiya all! First time posting here , been reading a lot on the forum and i found out this neat little thread ^^

I bought myself used hipstreet tablet , the hs-9dtb4 4Gb , a 9 inch tablet sold by at least walmart , and I was looking for a way to complety reboot that tablet ( if that is possible...) . I've tradded it for a bunch of stuff my friend wanted. the thing is , he tried to install a lot of thing on the tablet and ended up ''bricking it'' like he said...so tried the tablet 1st......android logo.......hipstreet flare logo , then black screen. so i told myself , ''Hey , i can surely do something with that....'' hehe well....its been 1 month now. Been reading a lot on android , tablet rooting , firmware rom flashing and so on...

Sooo , in a nutshell , i got a flare tablet that boot to a black screen. to my knowledge , the tablet seem to be ''rooted''

I can access all file on the tablet on boot up with android commander ( which seem to be a very neat program for diagnostic / working on files of a tablet/cellphone btw ^^ )

So i was asking myself....if i can find a way to get myself the stock firmware of that unit , can i a) format/erase all partition (System , Cache , Date ) and ''flash'' an image of the stock firmware ooooor b) should I copy/flash over the existing partition? I dont know what the consequences may be with a ''full format'' instead of a simple flashing ......

anyone pointing me in the right direction would be awesome! ^^

Feel free to ask additionnal information , ill reply to the best of my knowledge

sincerely , Pete

PS: Hope my english is up to date ^^ sorry for any grammor/syntax error

LG VS840 4G Question

So I bought an LG Lucid, sister phone of the LG Connect. I had it rooted on android 2.3.6 I believe. was okay with stock rooted but then got an ics update notification. I did the computer update method and lost my root. so the question i'm here to ask is.

1. How easy or hard is it to figure out a downgrade method?

2. Where could I find information about how to find a possible downgrade method.

I understand that I didn't search maybe as hard as you guys would have liked but there isn't much on this phone but I figured maybe someone could give me some kind of answer thats of any help. I greatly appreciate it.

HI THERE

I'm running slim bean 3.1 and after extraneous googling and looking around the settings I can't figure out a way to turn off haptic feedback for the touch sensitive hardware soft keys without reducing vibration intensity.

I would like maximum vibration intensity as my phone pretty much lives on silent and so vibrating for alerts is very useful but i really don't enjoy haptic feedback!

If there is an app, tweak or something i could use i would be very grateful.

HELP: android.policy.jar on V10H on LGP880

Hello, from my new LG P880:

I got myself the android.policy.jar (313bytes) and android.policy.odex (350.584bytes) from the /system/framework.

I then copied the whole /system/framework folder from my P880 for baksmali, also.

I then baksmalied the android.policy.odex with:

java -Xmx512m -jar baksmali.jar -x android.policy.odex -d framework -o output

and resmalied it (this is a test) with:

java -Xmx512m -jar smali.jar output/ -o classes.dex

This all works without an error message.

I end up with the classes.dex (314.716bytes).

Here my trouble begins. I put classes.dex with 7zip and normal compression into the original android.policy.jar (now 143.886bytes)

I removed the ORIGINAL android.policy.odex and android.policy.jar from my phone and copied the new android.policy.jar (143.886bytes) into the their place (/system/framework).

After reboot I am stuck with a bricked phone :confused:

To investigate, I then reodexed android.policy.jar with

dexopt-wrapper android.policy.jar new.android.policy.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar:/system/framework/filterfw.jar:/system/framework/com.lge.bluetooth.jar:/system/framework/com.lge.core.jar

which works fine, but my NEW android.policy.odex is not the original 350.584bytes, but 322.368bytes :(

I added the file signature from the old odex, but the size remains the same.

My questions:

Why did my android.policy.jar (143.886bytes) not work, although I changed none of the coding?

Why did my android.policy.odex (322.368bytes) not have the same size as the original odex in the rom?

I attach these two files for you. Please help me. :crying:

Thank you!

PS: I had to rename the odex to txt, because it cant be attached otherwise.

Hi guys,

My request is pretty basic, as I am just learning how to rip things apart to work on them. I currently have a DNA and have been trying to use apktool to decompile the SystemUI.apk. It looks like there is a known issue using the com.htc.resources.apk, so I get a lot of errors when I try to decompile the SystemUI.apk. My main objective at this point is to simply change out some battery icons and make the stat bar transparent when using Nova launcher. I also would like to learn more about smali files and how they work. It just seems like there is so much to learn and I am so far behind. I wish I would have gotten into this when I owned my first Droid. I guess it's never too late to start :) I am also open to any advice for a newbie rom'er and which files and edits I will be working with most at first.
