[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
can someone explain to me how to do a rom backup for my tablet? i'd like to do that before trying the other options!
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
no easy way. You have to do something.

My first "full backup" was using "rotobackup" method but that requires rooting.

The most common one using Nandroid backup requires CWM recovery (hence flash a kernel).

Even Titanium Backup requires root.

You are better off securing a copy of your stock rom if you can find one first.
[HTC Rezound] Piercing Heavens:
Since ICS sense Roms have had app associations I have had nothing but trouble getting hd YouTube without something freezing or taking a long time to even start.

This has broken YouTube associations and I have not found a work around. For some reason it always goes straight to the browser to open youtube. This is a pain and slow plus lower quality than the official app. Is there a workaround out there to have YouTube videos play natively in its own app from links?

Since there is no YouTube associations under app associations and that the old clearing defaults doesn't do anything I could use some help me. This issue has finally annoyed the heck of out me that I had to ask for a solution since I can never find a fix.

I have an extra OG Evo 4G that I might wanna sell...what would be a good price?

It's in good condition except it has a few small scratches on the bottom corners on the backside and you can see red.

Would Sprint let me turn in 2 Evo 4G's to get a new phone or just the one?

Is the phone S-OFF? Boot into the bootloader (volume down & power) and see.

If it's S-OFF you need to flash the downgrader from alpharev (look at my guide on how to flash a hboot)

If it's not then ignore this and carry on with info below.

Make a goldcard (if your friend has not already done so)

Download the 2.2 WWE RUU (in #resources on my guide), boot into fastboot (hold back & power when the phone is off), plug in via USB and run RUU.exe

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] texten:
hey dev's,

in kqb i can choose a lockscreen wallpaper in settings>display>wallpapers for the tab unlock, but this wallpaper is not visible on the background of pin/password/pattern view. is there a solution to fetch the wallpaper in the keyguards-xml's?

the header of keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.internal.widget.LinearLayoutWithDefaultTouchRecepient android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" [COLOR="Red"]android:background="#70000000"[/COLOR] android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">

i can only set colours?

I would, however, that the background is displayed which i choose in settings.

is there a solution for custom wallpaper support on all locks?

sorry for bad english ;) i hope you understand what i mean. thanks for anwser
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
put the wallpaper in drawable-hdpi called: lockbg.png (or so)

and change it to: android:background="@drawable/lockbg"
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
just copy the file from that android.policy.jar to your android.policy.jar thats all
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Do it like this, in the file "keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml" you have to examine each line and look for the values starting with a "@", these lines need to be present in the files in /values/, so if the things are missing just add them from the aosp rom,

for example:

looking at the android:id="@id/lockscreen_wallpaper" part, this means you will need to have the "lockscreen_wallpaper" id inside /values/ids.xml, if the id doesn't exist in that file you simply need to copy it from aosp rom. do that process for all custom variables/ids/colors/dimens, etc

Also when compiling just look at the log, it will say where the error is present, (you use apk manager?)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] texten:
thanks, i will try it later, must go to bed.

will report if it's work.

yes i am using apk manager.

i'm no noob, just a beginner in xml and java ;)

perherps you can try it for your broodrom?!

for now,thank you very much.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] SkillCam:
I think i know how to give it a custom lockscreen wallpaper

We have to add some things to lockscreen.smali and an other in android.policy.jar

I can give it a try

But not until, cause im going to bed now
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] texten:
thank you, allready thought no one will give it a try, but everyone want this mod :/
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] SkillCam:
It shouldnt be that hard, cause its the same way to give the aosp lockscreen a custom lockscreen wallpaper

I'll give it a try when im back from school

Edit: for which version should i make that fix xxKQB or?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] texten:
last release is KQB , thanks a lot.

Lockscreen

I made the first version at the moment but i can't test it cause i have arky's ICS rom at my phone and don't want to install XXKQB now. So you may test it for me

but make a nandroid backup first

[myTouch 3G Slide General] BiteBlaze:
Hey guys, I am working on a ICS espresso device tree and I will keep this brief and I know you have many questions so let me just say this: This will take a lot of hard work. This will take awhile. This will be worth it.

Basically, I wanted to make CM9 and AOKP for the slide but then I found out there was no device tree for ICS. I decided to take on the bigger project. Please don't PM or email me about this, ask your questions in this thread.

I know this was brief and not very descriptive but I'm about to go mobile and I can answer your questions in this thread.

Eventually, once I have a little more work done on this, I will post this in the dev section so people can help. I will update this thread until I have significant progress. If you flame me, I couldn't care less because you would be losing a developer who can unlock the FULL potential of our device (with ICS).

Cheers.

UPDATE!!!; MAY FIRST: I have got ICS to boot! It is horrible but it works and here are some current bugs: Cell connectivity, extreme lag, data, etc.

WiFi surprisingly works lol but I need something from someone, I need a mirror link of daniel's ics build (back when the CM9 dev thread was IcyEspresso...) to see a few thinks and possibly get this goin' so the link is broken in the thread but if anyone has the file... please I need it!

[HTC One X] shankly1985:
Why are o2 so bloody slow at releasing software updates? Lets face it what different from three UK or orange UK software? all o2 do is add there own apps.

Every phone I have had from o2 has been the same slow at updating. I didn't want to root this phone yet has I see no real reason, now am thinking I should just to get away from waiting for o2.
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
Yea I agree, I'm still on 1.26 so two updates have been released and we still haven't got any.

I don't want to root mine yet either if at all, having said that I don't have any major issues, music skips frequently which is an annoyance so it would be good to get the update for that because it apparently fixes that.
[HTC One X] fletchem:
This was my primary reason for no longer going to o2 for upgrades. My previous two phones have been from CPW and my HOX was from Phones4U - the reason being that they both supply unbranded phones on identical tariffs to those from o2. Lesson learnt from my Symbian days - waiting forever for branded updates.
[HTC One X] dibdab214:
I got fed up waiting and installed ARHD. I had a SGS 2 before and o2 were one of the first to update to ics but they are letting everyone down this time :(
[HTC One X] twe69:
Also I read rooting it will not update things like the radio? Or at least what I have read....

Anyway am on Three and only updated to 1.28 this morning, but yes now stuck with an older firmware until they bring out 1.29......
[HTC One X] westwood749:
I totally agree, O2 completely suck with these updates. HTC are releasing updates to help people resolve issues they are having with the device, but it seems O2 couldn't care less if people are having the problems or not.

I previously got my phones from Carphone Warehouse but on this occasion I went to O2 because the contracts at Carphone were more expensive. However, a week after getting my phone Carphone emailed me saying that I could get an upgrade and their tariffs would not be beaten by carriers and they would match them. Unfortunatley I was on holiday at the time so I couldn't return my phone to O2 and go to Carphone.

O2 really need to pull their fingers out and give a **** about their customers.
[HTC One X] shankly1985:
Just got of the phone with O2 and happened to get through to someone who has same device. He said O2 do have the update and are looking at rolling it out first Q this month. He said we should have it by 14th.

[HTC One X] shankly1985:
Is your phone branded to o2? can you use any sim you want? or is this o2 only? Seems you have a un-branded phone and using o2 sim only :confused:
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
I have no idea. I ordered it offline pre ordered from phones 4 u?? If it's still weird I will try another sim card?

[HTC One X] RicarduZonta:
I am hoping that it's gonna be 1.29 we will recieve. Some even talk about 1.30 coming in a couple of days.

It is really annoying to be stuck on 1.26.

Wish I ordered my phone from phones4u.

I didn't expect this and the ugly laggy boot animation I got. Why is this god for them?

At least customer service was nice enough to make it simfree for free. Other than tha, shame on you o2.
[HTC One X] Kickasskev:
Any news anyone? Ahahahahaha o2 are ****in ****

[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
No update yet. I think it could just be that O2 are more cautious. v1.28 didn't fix some of the faults reported, and if they knew of 1.29 or even 1.30 the sensible thing to do would be to wait to reduce the number of updates.

The average user gets fed up of updates quickly, and I know some people that don't bother because of it.

You won't get to speak to anyone at O2 that knows what's going on - the engineers etc are separate from customer services (who know nothing, despite what they might think). It's best to just wait.
[HTC One X] jag233:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/3mf...Radio_1.1204.104.14_release_259281_signed.exe

that one is the 1.29 update which i flashed (albeit mine being unbranded), maybe would this work on branded phones? when i had my desire, that was branded and then wasnt after i flashed the 2.3 gingerbread RUU. it removed the o2 boot screen etc

i have had one update over the air (to 1.28) on my unbranded HOX, maybe if the phones unbranded would the updates be more regular?

Hello David

Thanks for getting in touch.

I’m sorry we haven’t got the latest software update for your Sony and HTC. I understand how frustrating this is, especially as other countries have it.

We know version 4 software (Ice Cream Sandwich) has been released for the HTC One X but we’re currently making sure it’s right for our phones and software before we can release this to our customers. When we can release it we’ll let you know so you can download it as soon as possible.

We don’t have any information about the software being ready for your Xperia S. I’ve found on the internet some suggestions of June but again we’ll need to test this first and then release it to our customers.

I’m sorry we seem to be closed about this information. The reason is we simply don’t have the information to give out yet and as soon as we do, we’ll let you know.

If there’s anything else I can help you with, let me know. End of quote ......

As promised here is the reply from o2 after my complaint about lack of updates for my phones, I received this today after getting the 1.28 update, ironic or what.So much for letting me know :confused:
