[HTC Sensation] Hexgore:
I have a Sensation which is currently running the stock ICS ROM. It's all going well except for the fact I can't encrypt the internal memory, only the Micro SD. Is there a way I can hack the device encryption back onto the phone or is there a custom ROM that supports it?

I assume ICS ROMs based on Sense 4, AOSP and CM9 still have this feature enabled?

No idea why HTC left it out TBH :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Hexgore:
Anyone? To add insult to injury my HBOOT isn't supported by Revolutionary either, so no S-OFF for me.

If there's a patch I can flash in CWM (I got the HTC Dev method working) which just activates the device encryption on the stock ROM that'd be awesome.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
You can s off with the juopunutbear method. Here's a link to read.many have been successful in this method. More guides available in the search area. It's worth a look. At least you know you can s off successfully. Hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] Hexgore:
Thanks. Think I might just use this guide though, not really comfortable putting wires into my phone :p
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes I see you're going to continue to stay s on. As long as you know you do have a option to fully s off. You must do what you're comfortable with! If the wire trick makes you uneasy its best not to try it. Best wishes!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugotamesij:
When I was setting up my phone, putting in all my accounts etc, there was one screen which prompted for bank account details (presumably for payments via NFC). I skipped doing this as I didn't have my details to hand.

Now however I can't seem to find anywhere to put these details in. If I go to accounts, it just shows the areas to sync with my account (email, calendar, contacts etc). Does anyone know how to get back to that original screen from when I was setting up the phone originally?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phytrax:
I'd like to know about this too. I have no idea how to use nfc. I tried using Google wallet but it says not available for my phone or carrier.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarni84:
I have a few pictures of my galaxy nexus broken down if anyone would like to ask me questions on how and where things go they can. I actually find this phone to be very easy to get apart and if careful can be reassembled in 15 minutes. I was actually replacing my speaker with some old parts I bought off a guy. No more crackling! Anyways in the process grabbed some pics;)

U can see the first three are the screen bottom speaker, main board, vibe, etc. The last pic she's all back together :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Somehow I imagined a picture of me tearing down a smartphone where I was photoshopped out and replaced with a picture of a dog in a labcoat saying: "I have no idea what I'm doing"

:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
Yep this phone is one of the easiest ive worked with. had to open mine to replace the earpiece. the only thing to take care of is the volume ribbon and vibrator wires, they can snap off really easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lemonspeakers:
is the imei sticker that is attached onto the black plastic removable from the main board?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarni84:
Yes sir....I just stuck a razor blade between them and the housing and they come right off connected to a gel like glue. This was good because sticking them back in place they actually stayed. U also have to remove the vibrator motor and the long black wire running down alongside the battery compartment (it has connectors on each end) then of course your two ribbon connectors for main board then one ribbon connector for bottom speaker. Didn't touch cams no need to.....very very easy job in fact it was to easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
I have to replace my USB board (my USB port was damaged) and I am a newbie doing this kind of service myself. I bought it on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Charger...ltDomain_0&hash=item35bc2f9280#ht_3392wt_1052

Do you think it is possible for someone with no experience to make it? I think I will try it myself, not in the mood to send it to some repair shop and wait 30 days..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarni84:
Yes for sure...but if u do not feel safe doing it then take it in. I know to get to the usb the whole speaker and housing comes off of the top of that. Which is one screw then a ribbon fairly easy....then u just work something thin in between that and housing like a guitar pic or Mac card. I would go with guitar pic tho so u don't mess the corners of your card up. I know that once the speaker portion is off u see in my first pic the USB I think has its on board. I truthfully did not take that portion of it out thought it was kind of pointless. If u need help I will assist u if u decide to do it yourself :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
Thanks, I think I will try it myself, just have to wait for it to arrive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarni84:
Yea dude pm me and I'll definitely help out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sergio PC:
Thats pretty neat man, do you know where the GPS chip is?

I replaced my back cover and apparently I damaged the GPS chip cause I have NO gps lock, software side its ruled out (I flashed many diff ROMS, kernels and Radios and it used to work well before I opened up my Gnex)

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 10roller:
where is the VZ LTE radio? maybe i can swap mine out for one that doesnt cause signal drops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarni84:
The battery cover? Hmmmm. I am pretty sure the GPS chip is on the opposite side of motherboard. Looking at ifixit photos it says right by rear camera on the opposite side of motherboard.

Edit...also if u look at first pic in my pictures look on right side of battery compartment . See the black wire with the connectors on each end? I wonder if the connector closest to bottom came loose or has something to do with it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarni84:
Not sure I have GSM model. And dude good luck with that unless u know how to solder chips on to motherboards that is nearly impossible and I think swapping a lte chip for another lte chip won't solve your problem :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sergio PC:
Thanks, appreciate your time.

I checked out ifixit, thinking that in the process of removing the cover I could of hit the GPS chip or something, but since you pointed out that its on the opposite side of the motherboard that's not a possibility. Since I have not removed the mother board.

I have not opened it again, afraid of ruining something else.

But I guess I will have to in order to check the wire you speak about.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enaybee:
I sent my phone in for repair to Samsung via Expansys for a bad external speaker. Back when it went bad, phone was too new to have all parts available as spares on the net plus the phone was still under warranty so I send it back to Samsung via Expansys-usa. But what I think happened is that Expansys didn't send it to Samsung and repaired it inhouse. I can say that because all screws inside the phone had chewed up heads and the repair didn't look good however the external speaker was working. First thing I found out that external volume rocker was not working anymore. So I send it back again to Expansys and I just received it back today with a note saying that the volume rocker ribbon pins have come away from the main board and taken the pin with them.

Bottom line is that they didn't repair the phone. Any ideas on how I can get this fixed? Do I have to change the ribbon? if I want to do it myself or this sort of damage requires a new board?

Any ideas comments are appreciated.

Edit: Link to photo showing the pins that are separated from the board
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dennis.chua:
Hi Sarni,

I accidentally snapped the ribbon (refer to attached pic, circled in red), and now my speaker is not working anymore. I guess that ribbon was for connecting the speaker and headphone jack? :( . What do you think i should do now, replace the whole piece?

I also intend to replace my damaged charge port, but not sure how to proceed for that.

Thanks,

Dennis
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suntzu123:
I got galaxy s phone and is pretty annoying that when I choose clock 400MHz phone hang up while screen off.

I think with good launcher on 4 core I rly don't need more than 200MHz clock. Games Like Nova 3 are fluid on even 600MHz clock, OFC limit here is GPU...

How about SGS3? How low clock and UV are possible to set up.

it is possible in s3.flash a custom kernel and use tools like voltage control or setcpu or nstools to UC?UV

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XXIII42:
Is there any good radio out there? Cause I always get data drop on my ucle2... :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ends:
There is no "best radio" for any ROM or person. Because every ROM and persons experience is differnet. It all depends on your service area and signal abilities. The real radio fix for anyone it to flash every advailable radio for a day and see which one works best over all. Thats what I did. I noticed some radios worked good in some spots and not others. Where one wouldnt work well, another would. For someone that has excellent signal at all times, almost any radio will work, but for others like me, where signal sux, you have to use trial and error to determine best radio. No one on the forum can tell you what the best radio is for you to use. They can only tell you what works best for them. But granted, usually the latest radio works best. Hope I put it into word that help you understand.

Not quite what you asked for, but close. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:

I had to slow down price development during the night (CET) until we have some more players from outside of europe... otherwise some of the teams dropped too far.
[Android Apps and Games] zerga:
Kicktrade v0.25 released

Let's experiment a little. There was one thing in the game mechanics I was not very happy with: If you buy a share that not many people hold and nobody else is going to buy, your profit should be very small. But if your trade starts a trend on the market - let's say you buy and several other investors follow your example, you should get the best prices in average. Same thing with selling: if a lot of people hold a stock and you are the first to sell, you should get better prices than those who decide to sell last. I hope to bring more fluctuation on the market and make your decision depending on the trend you expect to see in the future. Of course this will most likely work best with more players, but let's give it a try now anyway, shall we?

One side effect of this will also be that teams which already went out of the competition and not many people are likely to be interested in are a great risk to buy, because the sell price will only increase if players follow your example. Otherwise the price might even go down, as the buy price is considerably lower now.

Further modifications in this version:

Fixed a bug: when you sell your complete depot of a share, you were still counted as an investor. This will be adjusted with the next trade on each team (only then, because those numbers are only calculated when trading).

Number of investors are now displayed (this information is important to you so you can make a decision with the changes above)

Switched position of the tabs "Depot" and "History", which increased performance (the history loads slower than the depot because it contains more entries and will now only be pre-loaded once you switch one tab to the depot).

The history now shows the last 100 trade entries when entering the tab. You can load more (if available) by scrolling all the way down.

The history graph shows the same amount of items that are in the list. Which means it will show up to 100 past trades now (before it was 20). If you scroll down the list of items before and more items are loaded, the graph will display them as well.

Performance has been increased on all list views.

Please comment on the changes, no matter if you feel they make the game better, worse or not very different at all... Thanks and let's see how the market develops now with so many teams out of the competition.

What is Boot Menu Manager?

Boot Menu Manager is like a second-stage loader. It run after Motorola bootloader and hijack android initial boot process. It allows you to to run custom command before booting android, run customized CWM-based recovery & booting from a second system partition. (Most people call this dual-booting.)

So, in summary, Boot Menu Manager is an almost complete package for toying with your phone.

It was specially design to work with our locked bootloader system & to prevent software brick.

(Trust me, you'll be using less fastboot after this)

Features

Remarks and thanks

koush & CyanogenMod - CWM

TeamWin - touch related item for recovery

STS-Dev-Team (Hashcode&dhacker29) - Motorola Spyder related configuration

koush & cvpcs - hijack binary codes, bootstrap

Skrilax_CZ - 2nd-init

Special thanks

[Motorola Droid RAZR] pseudoheld:
all working good. one question though.

i am going to experiment a bit with roms on the second system. now i am afraid that i might bork an install and not have it boot the OS. can i somehow get into custom recovery from boot without using the app in android?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Incremental backup & compression is a nice feature to have.

BootMenu need at least these files in 1st-system to function

/system/bin/hijack
/system/bin/logwrapper
/system/bin/logwrapper.bin

** BootMenu recovery will always check the integrity of these files on exit. It will warn you. No need to worry

** BootMenu files in /preinstall/bootmenu must valid. Android hardly touch/messing with this partition.

Plus, preinstall partition is not locked, so it can be flash externally using fastboot. No need to worry

** BootMenu config files is missing/not properly configured?

Power off phone. Press Power+VolUp+VolDown, Select BP HW Diag & Boot AP.

BootMenu will use default value & you have 10s to tap the screen & select custom recovery

** You can root/un-root from BootMenu recovery. (No need for CWM 6.0) Check system keeper & protection menu

all you need to have is a good battery level & at least one good backup of system partition.

Whirleyes, I'm interested in porting this to atrix 2, can you link me to the app apk and offer any advice?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Given the similarity of how moto devices work, I think it can work out-of-box with atrix2 too.

Can you five me a link to boot.img & recovery.img for atrix2 ICS 3.0.8? just want to confirm the partition layout.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lukensteinz:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php

The above link is the best I can do sorry, full fxz.

I've tried running the hijack, which is fine in a terminal. Plus the checksum of the logwrapper.bin is exactly the same as the stock logwrapper.

It also has the /preinstall partition.

Seems like it should work easy enough. Just may need to edit one or two things.

I'd certainly like to give it a try if you can provide a link to the boot manager apk for me to install. As I can't get it from the market.

Sorry i just realised the above wasn't ICS.
