Rohin,

since im new in here,me not sure if this kind of tag-team has practicing in here.Only i can see so many retheme roms based on other which is can divine by 2

1.No developement at all-update only a look but bugs still in there.people complain bugs but modder cant do nothing to fixs it.

2. has developement- bugs fixing just because modder actually has knowledge to make own rom but make a easy way by used other or someone just pop up with fixing.

Conclusion is:anything at all should go to ORIGINAL rom thread.All complain,bugs,fixing,thanks,anything belongs to ORIGINAL DEV.

My suggest only for this purpose:

1.modder with or without rom knowledge-they have spot for them & maybe they can learn some with a DEV.Dev also can learn something from these modder.

2.Anything will go to right place(what i saying above)

3.If somebody not happy with idea ORI DEV got all,learn make ur own & retheme anyway u like.

Many great DEV has left us cause feel disappoint of these trend but not given us a childish excuse like"oh! im feeling so tired stick my nose to many my based rom thread for find what wrong with my rom"

Cheers
[XPERIA X8 General] zmuhammx:
If dev have time & knowledge, they will.If modder are sincerely enough to help dev & just loved to share their work,i believe there no reason dev will say no:)
[XPERIA X8 General] iridaki:
As a recognised themer myself, I can safely say that sometimes TRULY theming a ROM can be just as painful and time-consuming as developing it.

BUT it is not development nonetheless.

Also what is NOT development is picking up init.d scripts from Android General section, packing it in a developers ROM and re-distributing it as a new one under your name.

This discussion can go on and on but I am sure you get the point.

This thread is quite interesting, because I really feel a bit disappointed by all the "ROMs" that flood the Development section, when the amount of real developing is very low.

Let me also say, I am not talking specifically about X8 section, it is a general phenomenon in pretty much all Sony forums.
[XPERIA X8 General] Superuser_:
And who says that the themers aren't devs to?

Its very hard....
[XPERIA X8 General] CtrlAltDelIrl:
What about GPL and Open Source?

Not taking any sides here, just gonna play Devil's Advocate for a bit and see if anyone can answer..

Under GPL, open source code can be used, changed and redistributed WITHOUT the permission of the code creator..

nAa, paul-xxx and all the other devs here have done exactly that.. Taken the GPL code, changed it, and are redistributing it WITHOUT prior consent of the REAL code dev..

Don't you all think it's a bit much then that they require us to seek their permission to change code they didn't even write? Same goes for the kernels.. This is GPL code..

Anyone can compile code, in fact it's really easy.. You don't even have to understand code to compile it.. So remember, porting is not coding, it's compiling..

I wonder how many lines of real code belong to the devs here.. My guess is very little..

Let me know your thoughts on this please devs..

CtrlAltDel.
[XPERIA X8 General] AndroidSoftmods:
got your point.. and u can be wright,

but when person x ask permission from person y that can be interpreted as respect person y's earlier work, so its not so bad, isn't it!?
[XPERIA X8 General] CtrlAltDelIrl:
What about GPL and Open Source?

It's actually a violation of GPL. (asking permission to use the code)

You can be prosecuted in a court of law for breaking GPL or trying to change code written under the GPL to another licence..

This is what is happening here and people should be made aware of this..

I would never ask nAa permission to change his kernel for example.. There is no legal requirement to.. In fact, if I ask for his source code, he must supply it whether he likes it or not.. He could face legal implications if he didn't..

I could then redistribute MY kernel anywhere (even charge for it) as long as I supply MY source code to the public.. This is how open source works..

MY FINAL THOUGHT ON THIS..

We should kick ass in the open source world, not kiss ass!

[XPERIA X8 General] AndroidSoftmods:
agree, but this is totally of topic man!
[XPERIA X8 General] zmuhammx:
For all due respect,

Me agreed that retheme also need a hard work indeed.in fact typing this also is hard for me& taking 1/2 hrs to finish it:D

That why me brough up this because me see Retheme also same important as make a rom.me try to see win-win situations in here.

1.A make a thread for his fresh new rom,he/she also would like to see it grow & alive

2.then B came up,open new thread with much beautiful rom based on A's.

3.ppl will definitely go to B thread & left A thread dying.

4.even worse,C came up with rom based on A's or B's

Now u think, are its fair for A since He/She has start it first?

True,make a diff also can called it DEV but are this kind DEV we want?

By hurting other ppl feeling?

So what me suggest is,A make some space for B and C.Ppl will stick to A's thread and it will grow as it should be without hurting anyone.

Meantime,if B or C still not happy with it they should learn to make own rom & do whatever they like.

God bless all.

p/s: Retheme me talking here is make own theme not based on other too.Otherwise,I also can be a modder:D
[XPERIA X8 General] CtrlAltDelIrl:
Choice, choice and (wait for it) more choice

This is exactly what open source offers us... Choice and plenty of it..

A good programmer doesn't make a good themer - I agree totally..

What one considers visually appealing can look like sh*t to another..

Thankfully we have choice so everyone is a winner..

Everyone here should be able to find the blend of features, performance and looks they desire..

If not, they are free to take any rom / kernel / theme and build their own.. This is one of the freedoms the GPL affords us.. We shouldn't ignore it.. We should relish it..

I agree with the idea of grouping MiniCM, GingerDX roms etc..

It would make finding similar roms much easier and would help bug tracking..

I've yet to see one proper bug report on XDA though..

Have fun,

[XPERIA X8 General] zmuhammx:
Dude,

The positions is clear enough,U cant Retheme without a Rom but still can have a Rom without Retheme.if u ask me,everything depends of our capability.For me is near impossible,for u is hard and for somebody else maybe its just peace of cake;)
[XPERIA X8 General] Rahat34:
Its all open source buddy......thats why we call it "OpenGPL"....+++ if you want to change code you can....OpenGPL just provides the "libs"....you can use them....any "pseudo" themer would just change the framework....wait,not even framework....just change the "drawable" icons(that too from acheps theme,;)).....they cant even change basuc xml codes.....forget about using c and assembly to use "OpenGPL"++devs modify the libs for their own ROMs.....its their property.....you can compile your own....if you think nAa and paul-xxx didnt do anything.....use the same libs from any other android system...wait take an other xperia mobile....ok wait....take any other armv6 sytem(we got darn close now;)),STILL your ROM wont work [Correct me if Im wrong somewhere??]

Im not angry or anything,i write stuff this way :)

May be possible, but not very easy indeed.

You mean something like connectify for windows 7, just to get the idea.

Well, it wouldn't be easy on a Linux box and sounds almost impossible on an android phone.

I don't know how to get iptables on a phone, but such stuff would be basically required to share a wifi connection and create a dhcp...

[Sony Tablet S] Nesquick95:
Found this URL, supposed to be the ICS update for US tablets :

http://info.update.sony.net/ST002/nbx03_001/contents/0014/signed-nbx03_001-ota-120410004.zip

Maybe there's something to do with it if it's the real one.

I think of disabling or deleting the region check in the "installation" script embedded in the zip before rooting, signing and flashing with Condi's tool. This may avoid the tablet's region changing.

Maybe it can help bricked devices owners, if they can find a way to push a modded build.prop to their tablet with adb from the only working recovery mode and then ask for an update from sd card.

Hope so...

PS

Can't do any testing myself, I'm still in HC 3.2.1 (France) and still not rooted (kernel #10)
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Its US ICS, the same as I've posted from the first day it was released.

Nothing new to check :)
[Sony Tablet S] Nesquick95:
Oh... Must have think of it ;)

And what about disabling the region check in the zip's install script rather than changing tablet's region ? It may be easier to do and may give us a kind of universal zip leading to US tablets without any care of their original region...
[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
Could someone explain how I can find such a link for a new firmware e.g for Germany?

How did you find or get this link Condi?
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
That sounds great!

Condi can we just mod the update instead of region on the tablet??
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
This can be done :) I'm in the middle of v2.8, its ready in 3/4.

Gonna try to create some script which will disable region thing from update-script. Very good idea :) Sometimes the simple is the best :)

The update still got to have proper entry to every region - gonna make universal one for all the regions I've got :)

Goood, very gooooooood :)

I've found that working on tab in garden is very niceeee :D

edit---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'have just made universal fw file for (I think all of) combinations/variants of the region - 1000 of possibilities :)

Now all you will gonna need is to use _hack_recovery and custom zip.

But wait a minute - hmm... we've got 2 versions of _hack_recovery and we still gonna need

to have device with region which is directly supported, or still change region if there is any other.

Its becoming pointless I think.. the script already adds region code to detailedSKU.lst file,

which is check in recovery for the region.

All we can do for now is to completly cut off region updating from update-script,

but in order to flash custom zip device still needs to have hackable region.

If I could take a look on a recovery.log of just bricked device (with corrupted region),

then I could make 100% safe solution..
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
Also maybe it would be a good idea to include in scripts some checks that find out what region an user has on his tablet and - on this basis - the script will make a proper update file...

I mean: it would be maybe better for script to check the region currently on the tablet than leave users with the prompt for choosing their region, manually...
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Take a look into AiO script - its does exactly making what you have written.

1) if region needs to be temporarly changed - then it makes update thinks that its upgrading for example US region - but its already replaced correct region.

for example you've got GERMAN region before flash - use custom zip, script changes temporarly to US to get through update which updates GERMAN region!

copy backups\region.zip tmp\27550199\region.zip

So its already done. Look guys at some users posts - obicom wrote that he has german region.zip and US vendor.prop. Region changing works just great. Only some I think 'different revision' devices got problems with it. Or its a user mistake.

i was told to keep an eye on the thread to see how other people who had their phones bricked by the stunner rom could or couldnt get them fixed but it seems to have mysteriously disappeared with all the information, this cant be right surely:confused:how are we supposed to get the info that we need or was the other poster correct when he said it was being covered up:confused:

i dont understand what is going on, has any one else who bricked their phone had any news on how to get them fixed
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hkgrob:
I will hazard a guess and say a MOD probably took it down to clean it up. Tone of the thread was probably getting out of hand. Likely to resurface minus offending posts if there was anything useful in it.

Bottom line of the bricked notes (by Angelom ICS Kernel or Stunner Kernel issues) is that the flash chips are beyond repair by any means (including JTAG), and required a Motherboard replacement. So off to the Samsung repair...

I think that was the only useful info on any of those threads.

[HTC One X] cookay:
Hi Guys,

Just wanted to share a video of my HTC One X with its SIM Card Disconnection fault.

(XDA Won't let me submit a link as I haven't created 8 posts yet...)

www .youtube.com/watch?v=b9iBTRH7UXQ&feature=youtu.be
[HTC One X] stan23:
It looks like a mechanical or contact problem. Have you tried another SIM card? Did you cut it to microSIM yourself?
[HTC One X] cookay:
Yes - I've tried multiple SIM cards and other SIM card holders from my friends One X.
[HTC One X] stan23:
Then I would say it is a mechanical issue with the contacts inside SIM slot. You should try to get it replaced.
[HTC One X] cookay:
Yes that's what I think too.

I'm trying my best. The company I bought it from online were 'unable to replicate the fault' and sent it back..

This is why I created this to prove the fault to them. If they still won't replace I'll contact HTC.

[HTC One X] Gizmo_x:
same problem here with cuted SIM card but my brother one x is working fine with cuted sim also.
[HTC One X] shizny:
i have the same problem. time since i bought one x it has lost connection with sim three times. last time it was yesterday morning when i reached my hand to get one x and wanted to see what time it is, i saw "enter pin code".

i havent tried any sim card, cutted or not, since it only supports microsim, and i have only standard size sim cards.

could it be phone fault or perhaps sim fault?
[HTC One X] godutch:
according to baadnwz (from the insertcoin roms) it's a software issue, he made some fixes to the framework and it greatly improves the issue for me but not for 100% .
[HTC One X] Appelsap:
Had exactly the same problem, sent it back and got a replacement that doesn't have this problem. (before that I tried a lot of things, such as adding some tape to the simcard, but none worked).

BTW, this is not a software issue, it's a hardware glitch that occurs when flexing the phone slightly, like it will do in most pockets.
[HTC One X] godutch:
I had it happen even when it was just lying on a table and baadnwz did fix something, so it must be software....
[HTC One X] ladyhaly:
Wait. So who are the people using carrier-provided microSIMs and who are the ones using cut SIM cards?
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

My car didn't start last week as I had a flat battery, my neighbours car didn't start yesterday morning so I told him it's your car battery as I had exactly the same problem. Turns out it wasn't he'd run out of petrol :p

Point is it is very likely that different faults (software and hardware) are causing similar symptoms.

Phil
[HTC One X] XsCode:
I have the Intermittent loss of sim that comes back after a few seconds and I'm using a cut sim.
[HTC One X] godutch:
in the thread on tweakers.net (a dutch site) many people are. complaining about this issue whereas on xda it's just a few people. a while ago in holland many HTC phones on the vodaphone network kept rebooting spontaniously, others had their clock run weird if connected to network time and others had no problems whatsoever. anyway it turned out to be a race network/sim/firmware issue, my guess is this issue is something similar.
[HTC One X] maggif:
I have purchased a brand new HTC One X online, and is the same issue. It refuses to detect any sim I insert and although wish it was a software issue seems more like a hardware fault.
[HTC One X] jamesdolla:
what were baadnwz tips for fixing this problem? searched the forums and couldn't find a thing.
[HTC One X] JayWales:
I had this issue with my sim card seeming to lose contact. I'd randomly see 'no coverage' then it would come back.

I had a look through some of the forums, and tried the sticky tape fix, and that seems to have solved it. Fingers crossed

Mine was a cut SIM, and since the tape is on and making it a bit thicker it's ok

I still get what I see now is the usual problem with mobile data not working sometimes, but the sim contact seems fine
[HTC One X] jamesdolla:
My sim is also cut. might try tape but i heard it would be difficult to remove the sim in the future.

Just been nosing on the ONE X forum since I'm thinking of jumping ship. They have YET another update? Where is the ONE S update to fix the pretty much crippling signal and jumping 3G HSDP+ issues or the soft reset when browsing the internet?

Sick of this phone and its lack of support from HTC on the MAO and software front...
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Im with you !!

I love this phone, I aint gunna swap it, But i do wish HTC would play ball !!

Ive noticed various software bugs / glitches since owning this phone, I just wish they would bring out some updates, Then we can build some new ROMs with it :)
[HTC One S] ossy1337:
I contacted HTC yesterday and they said that an update is already coming..

A friend of mine owns an One X and since the 1.29 update he noticed no change so far but worse benchmark scores. We'll see if it has an impact on battery life at least.
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Fully agree with you.

I'm done, i'm ringing three at lunch and asking for a disconnection. I have 2 days left on my cooling off period and i'm far from cooled off. Might not even got for the ONE X if thats having issues as well..
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Same here.

Seems to very little interest in this phone at all, nearly every forum regarding just this mobile have hardly any posts............

Shame as it is a great mobile and easily one of the best today.

All HTC's efforts are going towards the X, the S has it's fair share of problems as well (thankfully I don't have them *touch wood*) e.g. wifi and signal issues yet no word at all by HTC on an update fixing this afaik.....

Guess I will be rooting and flashing a custom ROM sooner than I thought, even though I really wasn't wanting to do this for quite a while and let alone even thinking that I would have to do it this soon..........

If HTC don't bother with this mobile at all and only deliver like 1-3 minor updates and don't give us the next big latest android version i.e. jellybean, then they can forget any future purchases of their products by me.
[HTC One S] wilcoholic:

Still early days yet, I'm sure the dev scene will pick up in the not too distant future. Or you could learn yourself and become a dev instead of moaning (justsayin)

Also, I think the S is far less buggy and problematic than the X, hence why its getting more attention, not forgetting it is also their flagship...

Personally I haven't had any of the problems mentioned, apart from the MAO issue, on the two devices I have had.
[HTC One S] mardon85:
The signal issue is very strange, if I have internet and can teather my phone it will stay on most of the night surfing using my PC. As soon as I start to try and browse using the phone it cuts out.. The 3G and H indicators are constantly swapping.

I had an HTC Touch Diamond on O2 and that was the worst phone i've ever owned it even cost me a relationship due to it not hanging up when I told it to (thats another story). Was a little apprehensive on getting another HTC but I put my past experiences down to windows mobile. Now i'm not so sure. My girlfriend is always having problems with her HTC Sensation XE as well.

I'm 100% certain that you've had the radio bug at the very least. It affects every single One S out there. It's not a crapshoot -- YOU HAVE IT, 100% guaranteed.
