[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uggies:
I have been to galaxy note general forum and most of them preferred Note because

-5.3 inch big screen

-pen usability

-epic performance after ICS update

-cannot get out of the big screen once you get used to it :)

What about you guys? S III over Note?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
Note is amazing. Im.still getting gs3 since i have a couple of hundreds lying in my wallet extra. Lol. Decision is yours.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmil:
Galaxy note is too big it doesn't fit in some of my pant pockets. So according to me s3 is better and it also has better hardware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00431:
Note is great, but I sold mine. Was too big for me but now both my old man and mother both have one lol.. I got the GS3 now and would reccomened the 3 over the Note. Try them both out in store and decide.

I have TB Pro and used it to back up NBA Jams. But after flashing a new rom, when I restore the app it goes back online to re-download the 300 megs or however big it is from EA's site. But more important, I lose my saved progress. I like this game a lot, but I'm constantly flashing new roms, so it's a PITA to have to start fresh on that game after each flash.I'm hoping there's some way to back up all the games data, but I'm coming up blank with my attempts.
[General Questions and Answers] YoursTruly98:
Try to look for save game files on sd card, because they are usally stored there.
[General Questions and Answers] TotallyApps:
App data is typically stored in /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/[package-id]

(where [package-id] is typically something like "com.something.appname"). A few apps will store data in /data/data/[package-id], so check there too if it isn't on the sdcard.
[General Questions and Answers] Trooper_Max:
I'm having a similar problem. Something went wrong with my phone and games started crashing, so I thought I'd give it a nice clean restart. So I reflashed my ROM and wiped everything including the SD card. Of course I did a nandroid backup first though and also made a backup copy of the SD card contents, so I should have all the data that was there before. For good measure, I also did an adb pull of /data/data/com.eamobile.nbajam_na_wf to extract those files separately so I don't have to try to extract them from the nandroid backup.

My phone works again and the games are working again, but now I'm having trouble restoring my NBA Jam progress.

Things I've tried:

1. Restoring the /sdcard/Android/com.eamobile.nbajam_na_wf files that didn't match what was on the SD card after reinstalling/playing NBA Jam. I was hoping whatever files were different would be the ones that had my saved data and it would work after this, but after doing this the game would crash when I try to view my challenges (sort of like it would before this whole ordeal, maybe my save data is just corrupted somehow).

2. Same as 1, but also restoring the /sdcard/.android_secure/(nba jam asec file, don't remember the exact name). Doing this seems to have really messed things up since the app's name and icon no longer display properly in the settings for applications.

3. Same as 1 and 2 except I also adb pushed my backup of /data/data/com.eamobile.nbajam_na_wf back over the files that were there, but it still doesn't seem to help, same results as 2.

So I ended up clearing the data and reinstalling NBA Jam again, so now it works but I don't have my save data... and like the first poster, I'd rather not lose my progress every time I flash a rom... So if anyone knows what I may have missed or has any other suggestions, please let me know!

EDIT: So it seems maybe my Challenges file is corrupted for some reason, it seems to be the one that causes problems.

FYI, these are the relevant files in /sdcard/Android/data/com.eamobile.nbajam_na_wf, they're filenames are actuallly pretty self-explanatory:

ChallengeDataFile

HighScoresDataFile

PlayNow

TeamUnlockDataFile

GameOptionSettingsDataFile

PlayerUnlockDataFile

Career

ClassicCampaignDataFile

Deleting all of them wipes your progress and doesn't seem to cause problems. I've been able to restore some of them without problems so far. But if I restore my ChallengeDataFile, it causes problems, so I guess I just gotta start over on my challenges.

How to change the button sounds on ics bland the goodness
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gtsik:
I upgraded my phone to official ics with pc companion. It was working perfectly about one month but then suddenly it bricked. yesterday I had low battery (3 %) and I pluged it in charger and left so and in the morning I saw it's charged and unpluged. but then in 5 min I went back to phone and I saw it's OFF. I wanted to start it and when I pushed power button only sony logo appeared and then black screen, then I removed battery and did that again (did so 2 times) and then when I inserted battery again and pushed power button it didn't react at all. no vibration no screen light. when I plug it to charger it doesn't react as well... so It doesn't react to any flashtool or smth.. please if you can,help me with it I'll really appreciate your help..

p.s I have locked bootloader and was always running official roms..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
I think your the 3rd person this had happened on this site. But unfortunately, nobody has figured it out.

I may of had an idea, did you charge your phone under your pillow? As my gets really hot and discharges under mine. So I thought maybe yours had overheated and burnt out?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gtsik:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] trewelu:

I'd really appreciate and will consider donation..

same problem here

Hi, I have a bricked Ray. When booting y can see Sony logo and then a black screen.

No adb nor fastboot can see phone, Flashtool detects phone is connected but can not do any action. Can not acces recovery or bootloader

Is there any chance for me other than technical service?

Please feedback after installation :)

I think it improves the touch screen a little bit. Before i use this,if i swipe between the home screens,sometimes it will look like it move to the next homescreen,but it will just stay at the same homescreen.i will need to swipe a little bit harder to chnge homescreen. I hope u understand what im saying here.

After i try, i just use a little bit force and the homescreen changes. Its almost as smooth as GB

Iridaki may have a point here, maybe it is just wishfull thinking and it seems smoother in our dreams? :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Actually yes, it is a placebo effect.

The service doesn't even run on our phones, the apk does not even appear installed.

It really doesn't require an expertise to understand that this does not work.

If you want, you could also try adding this line to your build.prop:

ro.smoothtouch.display=1

The effect should be just about the same. :p

This isn't going to work on any phone but the Sola, floating touch is both a hardware and a software technology AND it needs to be supported by each app, so even if the Neo could handle it there's no apps that support it except for the Sola browser.

Here's a full description of how it works.

well according to what it says in the link u posted, i think the required hardware is just multitouch capable screens..

Hi all,

im using Sms unread count widget from long time, but now i want to edit it a bit...

I've found this post in the forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1226906 that explain how to edit .png file to change the orange highlight when pressing it.. but I have some troubles when im going to repack the apk.. (apktool says that the png is malformed :/)

the second thing is the color of the notification icon: it's red, and i want to change that color;

Someone already did it in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1068950 , but it seems dead (the thread :))

anyone could help me?
[Android Themes] frisi:
well, after one day of hard (!) work, I solved my problems...

Sharing my procedure for the community:

1. ApkTools:

The first thing to do is to decompile the .apk. And isnt that simple at it seems, becouse apktools needs some steps before working correctly:

1.a install jdk x86 (if you got x64 you need to uninstall and install the x86 version);

1.b add the paths for jdk (or prompt wont recognize your "java" commands);

1.c go to apktools folder with ms-prompt and type: "apktool if framework-res.apk";

Now apktools would work correctly.

To decompile our apk (for example sms.apk) we just need to write "apktools d sms.apk sms\"

2. Find the correct file and do the right change.

Not that easy. The decompiled files arent in java language but a sort of "machine language".. btw it's not that hard to understand.

My file is named "BadgeIcon.smali".. obviously it contains the instruction for drawning the badge.

After reading the code, looking for the words "color" and "round" or something that draw a red circle, i've found that:

.line 318
const/16 v9, 0xf0

const/4 v10, 0x0

const/4 v11, 0x0

invoke-static {v9, v10, v11}, Landroid/graphics/Color;->rgb(III)I

move-result v9

.line 319
const/16 v10, 0xa0

const/4 v11, 0x0

const/4 v23, 0x0

move/from16 v0, v23

invoke-static {v10, v11, v0}, Landroid/graphics/Color;->rgb(III)I

those 3 variables are the hex value of two rgb colors (the badge got a little dark shadow at bottom). So just change those values. Care about the const/16 and const/4 declaration.. const/4 is just for 0 value, if you change fo another value put const/16.

Save and exit.

3. Change the .9.png's for the pressed/focused shadow.

Regarding this you will discover that .9.png are a bit hard to modify without getting some errors. Here on the forum i've found lots of threads with lots of different methods to edit them. The simplest is this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439208

really simple and it works!

So I've edited my two png's and saved.

4. Recompile the apk.

Got some troubles on this step, becouse my apktool wasnt configured that well.. but if you follow step 1 you should be ok.

Just write "apktool b sms\"

2 new directories appears in sms\ folder, and in the one named dist\ you'll find the apk.

5. Sign the apk.

Before installing the apk, you need to sign it, or android wont install it.

A good tool is that one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125626

Simple and quick. Just do the test signature and you can copy the apk to your phone and install.

That's all! :)

It may be pricey, but what would be needed is a larger battery (say 4K mAH), and a new bezel. The latter would be the pricey bit as it has to be properly machined to fit.

I don't think such an alternative would be too cost effective, but as the stock battery degrades, a new replacement seems like the cheapest alternative.
