I got confused

thanks for your reply

I saw it before, but I was confused in beginning, it seems there's a msitake:

when it says "NOTE: If you have newer firmware(4.0.2.A.0.62 or 4.0.2.A.0.69), check tutorial 3 first to downgrade your firmware"

should say "...check tutorial 4" That silly thing made me think that the whole tutorial was wrong or obsolete, cause both points have nothing to do with each other.

Thanks for your help, I'm gonna try it

PD: do I need a SIM card in any step of the whole prcess?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MSTHETERROR:
No. I don't think you'll need a sim :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Not at all :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kifto:
thanks

thanks to both of you for your reply (and sorry for my English)

i'm gonna try it, it seems not very complicated

EDIT: finished...now I'd like to update my rooted xperia mini pro with android 2.3.4 GB to a rooted android 4.x ICS if posible...if anybody knows a good guide...

I picked up a Zeki TB782B for my kids to use and I have been really happy with it as an entertainment tablet. I have put my daughters gmail account into it and gmail works great, but contacts app does not show up anywhere including apps. It is on the tablet as a native app, Titanium is backing it up and it seems like it should be running. I rolled back the system updates to the app and still nothing.

BTW, came stock with 4.0.3 and it came stock rooted with busybox! I love it.

Any ideas???

GPS?????

I have a nexus 7, and have been looking at putting a tablet in my truck. Dash mounted. I figured I would just buy two of these for the same price, but I cant seem to find anyone saying if this tablet has GPS or not

PLEASE let me know if it has GPS, I would probabley just tether it or use a gps app that downloads the maps. That is what I was goign to do with my nexus but dont want to spend anymore money and want to leave the tab in the dash permanently so I want two lol

Zeki 8" TB892B

I have the TB892B and have been trying to do some upgrades. Many posts say that the TB782 ROM will work but when I installed it, the screen resolution is wrong. It shows a 7" screen on an 8" device and the first inch and top inch of the screen are repeated like wraparound. So it can be used but it is too distracting to have parts of the screen duplicated.

Hey guys,

after my LG Optimus Black get bricked, i bought me the Nokia Lumia 710, really love it now. But after a week!!!!! it has fallen down from about 40cm on the floor, it is carpet. Now i have a one week old Device for 200$ with BIG Scratches, it has gorilla glas!!!!! im really sad, till my iPad broke, then my LG OB, yet after 1 week my fckn Nokia, i dont believe its my year :D i wrote the support that it is unbelieveable that some Glas, which is called "nearly unbreakable" get such scratches after a soft falldown. They wrote it is no warranty and said i have to repair by my own money. Now what you think? My LG OB never had scratches and i dropped it from a tree! it has fallen so often, on hard ground, but nothing happened. What you guys and girls think? do they have to repair or am i fckd :/

Im posting it in OB Section, because im new to Nokia and my Question is variable i think.
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
ask in the nokia forum

btw, this screen cannot get scratched with such a low fall

(not even after falls)

its a manufacturing defect maybe, they should replace it

but i think they wont believe you

try protesting ;)

Gorrilla glass is only scratch resistant, not scratch proof, I'll have you know

Anyways, my ZUNE HD has gorrilla glass and I dropped a shot glass on it from a low height and the screen cracked (it actually rolled off the top of the desk into the first drawer where my HD was, so like 4-5 inches)

Outside of that I had scratches on it too,

you can take keys to the stuff but sand in your pocket or something like that, glass, probably dont want that to happen.

Resistant means it resists, but look at history, resistance can get ****ed up mighty fast lol

Anyways, manufacturer usually guarantees screen replacements, just make something up, or be like yeah it just happened I dont even know it was in my pocket and I used it one day and it was like that.

you could probably contact Corning (gorrilla glass dudes) and be like yo wtf

Theres some screen protectors you can buy online that have lots of sticky stuff on the back and they actually fill in some scratches, look that up, I looked up all kinds of things because I think I had to pay a bunch of money to fix mine (ended up retiring it for an OB)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
a) Random reboots. We've all experienced them; Mine seem to come up quite often, no matter what rom I have installed. Whether it be CM7, CM9, MIUI, etc... it usually happens after returning from "sleep mode" (locking the screen)

b) Also, is there a way to make the nook run SMOOTH (for christ's sake...)??

I've tried V6 supercharger, and I haven't felt that much of a difference.

As for specs, I have my nook overclocked to 1200mhz, with the governor on "interactivex".

c) BATTERY LIFE. I've heard people using there nooks for quite a long period of time before needing to recharge.. is there any trick to this? I'm getting 3-5 hours of use on a normal day. It's supposed to have the same battery as the Nook Tablet... and same screen resolution.. sigh..

solutions anyone?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k8108:
Well, I'm currently running the MiRage rom and it runs fine. No random reboots. Do you use a time/weather widget? Sometimes these can cause occasional problems. I wouuld think it might be an app that is causing these problems, as I've used many roms on my nook, including MIUI, without the problems you are describing.

As for low battery, how high is your display brightness set? I have found that to be a big battery hog. Or again, it could be due to certain apps.

I would also suggest doing a clean install of your rom - wipe and reformat. If you are not sure of the procedure, please post.

My nook gets very heavy use on a daily basis and I get a full day after a nightly charge. Look for a thread in the general section for the nook by mr72 - a guide for CM 7.10 setup. Lots of useful info there.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meteorrock:
How many updates have you installed on your nook color? I have found that you should only update a few times before you will start seeing problems with your cyanogenMod builds.

CyanogenMod uses modified kernels so you should wipe both your data and your caches after a few updates to keep from corrupting your kernel base. Make sure to backup first with a nandroid backup so you can restore your apps and settings afterwards. Constantly re-flashing and updating your cyanogenmod builds just leads to problems without doing a full data wipe once and awhile. ALWAYS wipe your dalvik caches on each update.

The easiest way to wipe both your data and caches is to use clockworkmod in your included ROM manager.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have not experienced any of the issues you are claiming with the latest stable of cyanogenMod 7.2 on the nook color, but I make it a issue with myself to wipe both the data and the caches on the eMMC of my nook color , which is the way I am using cyanogenMod, after a couple of updates. YOU will especially will have to wipe both the data and caches when you upgrade from gingerbread ported versions of cyanogenMod to the ICS versions, those kernels are way modified. I have worked on some through the github.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
I tried many CM7 nightlies and newer CM9 also.

Very rarely to have a restart (freeze up are bit more often) and battery lasts for 9–10 hours with full use.

Something might be wrong with your hardware or no good install of Roms.

How long do you have it? Did you get it new or used?

[Android Software Development] ews:
EDIT: I know this is not a Q&A forum. However, I couldn't find answer on Stackoverflow and I believe I will find many people here who have faced similar issues before or at least can explain this to me.

I am writing software to communicate between tablet (Motorola Xoom with Android version 4.0.3 and Kernel version 2.6.39.4) and a peripheral device using USB Host API provided by Android. I use only two types of communication:

control - controlTransfer(int requestType, int request, int value, int index, byte[] buffer, int length, int timeout)

bulk - bulkTransfer(UsbEndpoint endpoint, byte[] buffer, int length, int timeout)

Control transfer works fine, but I have a problem with bulk transfer. I can use only 32768 as a size of the buffer for bulkTransfer function. It is not possible to use less or more. I know that I cannot use more because of the limit of the buffer pipe (size: 32769 bytes).

This peripheral device streams data which is not correctly read by bulkTranfer function. I suppose that some data is lost.

I've found information (can't provide outside links at the moment) that: In Linux If a process attempts to read from an empty pipe (buffer), then read(2) will block until data is available. If a process attempts to write to a full pipe , then write(2) blocks until sufficient data has been read from the pipe to allow the write to complete.

And based on that, my explanation of the problem is that some data is not written to pipe (buffer) because of blocking flag made by write(2) function. Am I correct? If this is true I could change pipe buffer.

My first solution for this problem is greater buffer. For kernel >= 2.6.35, you can change the size of a pipe with fcntl(fd, F_SETPIPE_SZ, size) but how can I find fd (file descriptor) for USB pipes?

Second option is to use "ulimit -p SIZE" but parameter p for my kernel is not for pipe but process.

Has anyone faced the same problem, any solutions?

A full wipe is the recommend, because then you have a clean installation and you beware of strange failures.

Hello,

I am new to the WP7 Development and I have recently purchased the elegant Nokia Lumia 800 for a family member. However, I need to Unbrand it from O2 as well as unlocking it.

I have done some reasearch and found that I need to a Qualcomm device in order to carry out these processes, but my phone is Nokia DLOAD and this is where I am stuck, I do not know what to do in order the unbrand/unlock.

Now, I am not a total noob as I have knowledge in Android development, so I am carefull in what I do, and no huge ego for that.

Could someone direct me in what I should do next?

Many thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There is no need, and precious little reason, to unbrand a Windows phone. At best, you'll receive updates a bit earlier (a few months in extreme cases). At worst, you'll receive the *wrong* updates or otherwise mess up the phone's configuration.

If your phone is SIM-locked, you'll probably want to SIM-unlock it, though (I'm not sure if that's what you meant by "unlock" or not). In the USA, I would take a SIM-locked phone to a store of the carrier who it was locked to, or I would call the carrier, or possibly I would call the OEM (Nokia, in your case). If those didn't work, I'd look online for somebody selling unlock services.

Once SIM-unlocked, you can put another network's SIM card in the phone. That should automatically (after a day or so) switch the most important of the phone's carrier-specific configuration - the selection of which Mobile Operator marketplace to use - to your new carrier (although I admit that I haven't tested this personally). The other branding aspecs will remain, since those are locked in the ROM.

It *may* be possible to install a different stock ROM on the Lumia 800 (I haven't checked). Most phones allow installing a stock ROM easily enough; it is the custom ROMs (such as are used to get "full-unlock" for apps) that are blocked.

I currently use a HTC HD Mini (Photon) running the SCREAM ROM by Ling Gan. It has a few bugs for most of which there is either a workaround or fix but there is the one problem which has remained unsolved: the default wallpaper on everything BUT the home and lockscreens cannot be changed. It is of a tree in a meadow under a blue sky and when rotated to landscape changes to some smiling chinese lady :confused: in the "settings" submenu. Doesn't hamper use much but it is quite annoying.

I have tried a number of solutions some of which resulted in my having to reflash and others did nothing. I post this here because I think it is a CM7 issue. The ROM developers have so far been unable to post a solution within the thread and I am aware that a fix for similar problems on CM9 ROMs exists using ADB to edit framework-res.apk. I felt it was time the problem was tackled by the wider XDA fam. Used google translate to look on the chinese site where the ROM is native to (mobile-kon) but found no help as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i think ur problem lays in the framework-res.apk it contains the look of the rom and the transition effects

you can mod apk with the apkmanager tool for ur computer in the frameworkresapk you should find the images u want to change replace them witch a black picture or something like that

if never done this befoure exept from changing some transition effects and i had a couple of errors among this

the easier way seems to search for the rom on another page cus the images ure stating are not standart in the cm7
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELdaArk:
SOLVED!

Many thanks!

I started off looking through the "res" folder in framwork-res.apk using Root Explorer to identify the images for the wallpaper. They were

Res/drawable-land-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png

And

Res/drawable-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png

I then created a copy of framework-res.apk on my SD card and copied it onto my pc. I created new wallpapers to replace the ones I just mentioned, one in portrait, the other in landscape. They were 320x480 and 480x320 respectively. Using 7zip on the pc, I placed them in the corresponding folders (/drawable-mdpi for protrait and /drawable-land-mdpi for landscape).

I copied framework-res.apk back to my sdcard and then fired up terminal emulator to run the following commands

su

sys -rw

busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

sys -rw

You might get error messages from running apps after this but ignore them and reboot. The idea is to replace the framework-res.apk in system/framework with the one you just edited.

After the reboot, you should have your newly created wallpaper showing up in settings in both landscape and portrait modes.

Please hit "thanks" for both jiffer1991 and I if this was helpful. Big ups to jiffer1991for pushing me in the right direction.
