[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
Why not just run motofail? Its easy. An idiot could do it. It will not hurt anything and you can download ota root keeper and just tempunroot and accept the update. The reapply and keep root. easier than paying any money or donate to the developer. Life will be simpler. I was going to leave this phone alone even after many many modded phones. Just because you root doesn't mean you need/have to install recovery or rom it. I have stock recovery. A launcher and am fairly content. Just a thought. Root it. Enjoy it.

I've used Drocap2,Screen Grabber,am trying Screenshot ER right now. I guess I'll try Screen grabber again.

What is SDK Tools dddms.bat?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
For screen grabber (needs root), long press Search button is the shortcut key to invoke the app anytime you like.

DDMS is a java program which comes with Android SDK for PC, Mac and GNU/Linux. You need to connect the RAZR with USB cable. No root needed.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
If you don't want root, then the 4 USD non-root screen shot utility , is NOT so different than youself going through the ddms tool to take a picture. well it is different, but I personally don't see it is worth 4 bucks.

If you have root, then many stuff are free as suggested by folks above.

I was searching and googling for a method for extracting apk files from ROM for my phone Galaxy Note 2.3.6

All results and methods said to extract the files from rom ***.tar.md5 and open a file called factoryfs.rfs by Magic Iso

But when I unzip the rom I didnt found factoryfs.rfs, I found only factoryfs.img which Magic Iso cannot open it!!!!!!

Does Galaxy Note rom has diffrent file format or i am doing something wrong?

Are you plugged in? I find problems with responsiveness when ever the phone is on charge. As soon as it's unplugged it's fine again
[HTC Desire S] reo_sam:
I have a similar issue on a stock Desire S (purchased 2 months back). I have given it to the Service Centre, and they have told that the screen needs to be changed (completely hardware issue).

Previously, I had done reboots, soft resetted and hard resetted it. Also, had unmounted SD card (somewhere I had read, that faulty SD card or formatting it, helps sometimes in freeze issues). But to no avail.

My exact issue: The phone started to not respond to the back and menu key intermittently (for few secs or 1 min), then the time has gradually increased. I can pull down the menu everytime, but the lower fourth of screen (including the soft keys) is affected. It has got no relation to charging status or any app (htc/google/third-party).

[Samsung Infuse 4G] brg7562:
I know this should be obvious, but I can't figure out how to change the dock icons in FTL Launcher Pro. I don't want to change the activity, simply the icons. Shortcuts don't show up on a long press, so creating a custom shortcut doesn't appear to be the solution. Any ideas?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
REBOOT then try below...

Basic Instructions:

- On first boot, homescreens will be empty. Long-press anywhere and start adding stuff!

- You can add/change the shortcuts on the dock bar: Long-press the place you want, and wait for the a popup to show, allowing you to choose what activity you want there.

- You can uninstall apps directly from the homescreen: long press the shortcut (even in the app drawer), drag it to the trash can that appears where the dock was. If you drop it immediately FTL will only remove the shortcut, but if you wait a bit before droping, FTL will offer to uninstall the app.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] brg7562:
Thanks for the info, I did find those instructions, and they work perfectly for shortcuts on the home screen, but not on the dock for some reason. There's no problem changing a shortcut on the dock to another activity with it's default icon for that activity, just no obvious (at least to me) way to change the default icon or apply a custom shortcut (with desired icon).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
you have to long press on the dock the open area where there is no icon to put an icon there..a window will pop open to select an activity...to put an icon...on your dock and if you want to change the current icons, you also long press on the icon til the menu opens with a listing of app to change to,....

that is how I did it....hope it works out for you...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] brg7562:
A long press on the dock icon, window pops open to select an activity (let's say phone). No problem there. Now all I want to is change the phone icon, not the activity. Another long press just repeats the above.

Sorry for my denseness, maybe you can't do what I'm trying to do...but thanks for the response.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Gerle:
Is it possible to add a contact to the dock? I usually have my wife as a contact on the dock, when I press the icon it will give me the choice between messaging, calling various numbers, etc. In old Launcher pro I know how to make this happen, I'm having a hard time in FTL Pro.

I'm trying to text a less than 2 minute video but I get this message, are there any alternatives other than email?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hashbrown:
My advice:

Get a dropbox account and app, upload your media there, then share your videos/pictures w/ a link to the file or folder you've made.

Once you've made your account, goto gallery, select your video, press "more", and select "share via". Your dropbox account will be one of the options. once uploaded you can send a link from dropbox via email or text.

This is really the only way of sending a video w/o editing and shrinking them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
I also noticed that when you record a video there's an option to record in mms format in the settings. Haven't tried it myself, but it supposedly works. Had this same problem last night. It wouldn't even let me email it. Haven't found a way to change an existing video to mms quality, but still checking. Of course the quality is crap compared to what we're used to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
Dropbox or Box.net

some sort of site like that would be best for sharing videos with decent quality with the restraint of MMS recording.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
I believe the MMS cap limit is set by AT$T and cannot be changed. That is, unless you're an iphone user, then the cap is magically higher.

[Hardware Hacking General] lvnr00tddrd:
Okay. It seems that Blu Products isn't going to explain anything about the dock port on their Studio 5.3, so I am embarking on a project to reverse engineer it. I'll update my progress here.

Pictures of the dock port:

Pictures of the plug that fits it. It's the same 30-pin plug as found on the iPod and a bunch of other devices.

(Last 3 images from https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8295)

What I just ordered to work on this project:

(Again from https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8295)

Here's what I've figured out so far.

The cable from my iPod Nano 6th gen has pins 1, 15, 16, 23, 25 and 27. All others are missing. I haven't had time to analyze it all yet, but according to allpinouts.org, 1 is a ground, 15 and 16 are grounds and are tied together (internally on the iPod motherboard), 23 is USB +5v, and 25/27 are USB Data+/- OR, alternately, they are resistor-to-ground value-based signals.

My theory so far is that there is some internal resistance between the pins in this cable and other pins or ground; because plugging just the cable in--with it not being plugged into the USB port--disables the Blu's touchscreen and automatic screen rotation features and locks the screen in whatever position it's in when you plug in the cable. (Although interestingly, if you plug it in in landscape mode, you can use the screen rotation lock hardware button to put it back to portrait mode.) Plugging the other end of the cable into a USB port brings up the Recent Apps display (the thing that comes up when you hold the touchscreen home button down) and the phone says it's charging, but the touchscreen is still disabled. Not sure if it's actually charging or not; I'm gonna leave it plugged in for awhile and see. The phone does not show up as a new USB device when this (iPod) cable is plugged into the dock port.

Once I get the breakout board I'm gonna take the phone apart and see if I can trace where the pins in this dock port go. I'm also going to wire up a USB cable to the breakout board and see if I can get the phone to enumerate.

Hopefully I never toast my phone. :)

Edit for more pics from teardown:

Notice that this ribbon cable is 3 layers; those are little pieces of a paperclip holding them apart to show the layers.
[Hardware Hacking General] HeliumX10:
It really looks like PDMI connector ;)
[Hardware Hacking General] lvnr00tddrd:
If it IS a PDMI connector, would getting a usb-to-pdmi cable work to connect to the phone? I've never used pdmi. I know the Dell Streak has a pdmi port though.
[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
You should open it to see what chips are used in that thing. That will help you a LOT to figure out what is going on...
[Hardware Hacking General] warboat:
I have both Dell Streak 5 and Blu Studio 5.3 and I can comfirm that the pdmi cable for the Streak does not fit in the Studio 5.3.

The ports on both are the same width and same number of pins but the Streak's pins are arranged on 2 wedges, for lack of a better term, whereas the Studio and ipods are 2 rows of pins on both sides of a single wedge. It's like the Streak has a female type port and the Studio/ipods have male type ports.
[Hardware Hacking General] puppeto:
This could be some kind of dock connector that Blu has not released for our version. I've been doing some research on this phone to find the original recovery firmware and found that this exact phone is being sold under the following names:

Blu Studio 5.3

Texet TM-5200

Umeox X-Land / X-5

Pearl Simvalley SPX-5

On every "rebranded" listing I found they all had this port so it isn't just unique to the Blu. Also might try seeing if anything can be found for the MTK6573 chipset that would include this port. More info on this chipset here mediatek.com /en/Products/ featured_content.php?sn=2 {will have to copy / paste too new to post links yet}.

I've also found other indications through russian and chinese sites that this thing is being pushed in some countries as an iPhone knockoff with a custom "iOS" skin / launcher. Hard to tell for sure due to some things being lost in translation.

So to wrap it all up I would almost go for a crazy guess that this might be used on some of the "iPhone" knockoffs to fake as a 30-pin connector that may or may not actually work or only work for charging.
[Hardware Hacking General] chrismotto:
Its seems like its a docking port for a keyboard. I found this for Pearl Simvalley SPX-5 site found at http://www.pearl.de/a-PX3502-4072.shtml.

[Hardware Hacking General] lvnr00tddrd:
Just got the PodBreakout board. To the soldering station I go. Send good karma my way. :)

I took the entire thing apart. Everything is under full-board metal shields as can be seen from the recent post-op pic. (You can also see the breakout board.) My phone still works, so I'm not prepared to go pulling the shields off just to see what's under them. I think that the only things would be the MediaTek CPU and some RAM and Flash chips anyway. Everything else is pretty tightly integrated.

Puppeto if you get ahold of one of those keyboards please keep us updated.

Behold the wonders of voiding your warranty:
[Hardware Hacking General] lvnr00tddrd:
Ok here's what I've figured out so far.

1. Make sure if you take your phone apart that you reconnect all the connectors inside the phone, or else you'll spend an hour trying to figure out why the dock port won't work at all before realizing what you did.

2. Onward to real research, here's what's been found so far.

Connecting pin 15 to 16 disables the touchscreen, but there is a threshold that must be met that I haven't found yet. If the 2 pins are directly tied together the touchscreen is disabled, and if there's a 3k resistor between them it is, too. But if there's a 100k resistor inline it doesn't disable the touchscreen.

Pin 1 appears to be a ground pin.

Pin 16 is USB ground

Pin 23 is USB +5 volts

It DOES charge when just Pins 16 and 23 are connected. My next step is to find which pins are the USB Data +/-. As can be seen below, it's non-standard.

Connecting Pin 27 to ground presses the hardware multifunction button (bottom middle of the front panel)

Pin 6 to ground presses hardware power key

Pin 29 to ground presses hardware volume down key

Pin 28 to ground is an oddball. Connecting it to ground through a 10k resistor seems to start the music player AND press the hardware volume up key

Connecting pin 9 to ground with a resistor less than 4k causes a white screen followed by a black screen and the phone freezing until the battery is removed.

Audio

Pin 3 - Audio Ground

Pin 4 - Audio Right

Pin 5 - Audio Left

The audio pins appear to be connected to the same lines as the headphone jack, only they don't have the hardware external speaker disable (or if they do I haven't found it yet). Apparently, the headphone hardware triggers a software signal of some kind that disables the external speaker. I confirmed that this is the case by plugging in a set of headphones, in which case these lines still give the audio output but the external speaker is disabled. Apparently this is something that can be controlled from within Android, because there were some bug reports awhile back about the external speaker not disabling when headphones were plugged in. So we need to find (or maybe someone can write?) an app that does nothing but disable the external speaker while leaving the headphone line active.

No luck yet on getting USB working. Still hoping someone here can help me out with knowing how to monitor what's going on by using adb?
[Hardware Hacking General] lvnr00tddrd:
Puppeto any luck on that keyboard?
