[General Questions and Answers] DanCody:
Hello!

This is my first thread on XDA!

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i about two weeks ago and rooted it.

Yesterday it tried to automatically update the firmware but was unable to... this is because it's rooted, right? If I want to upgrade the firmware what should I do? Unroot - Upgrade - Reroot? Is this safe? Or is there another way?

Can anybody help me out?
[General Questions and Answers] kishankpadiyar:
Unroot and then update is one way.. or else you could download the latest firmware for you phone from sammobile.com and flash in to your phone using Odin..
[General Questions and Answers] DanCody:
Thanks for the quick reply!

One thing though... What are the risks and implications of unrooting then rerooting? Do I lose apps/files? Can I damage the phone? Lose settings?

I'll be looking into the Odin solution (don't yet know exactly how to do it, but will try to search for it in other threads first!)

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] DanCody:
I'm at Sammobile.com... Is it ok to use firmware from another country/carrier?
[General Questions and Answers] kishankpadiyar:
There is No damage done to your phone due to rooting..

N it's ok to install firmware or any country and carrier.. unless that firmware is built only for your phone.. do not flash a firmware of other phone to your phone.. it'll result in hard brick of your phone..
[General Questions and Answers] DanCody:
Ok, so...

I went into download mode, opened Odin, put the tar.md5 in PDA, pressed start, and got this:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. do not unplug cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> S58301ZSLF1_S5830iOZSLA3_S5830iZSLD2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Successfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

But nothing happens...

Still in ODIN MODE with the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" message.

What do I do?

It's not rebooting or anything... I have never flashed the phone before, can this be the cause? Is firmware supposed to be done on a phone that has previously been flashed?

Please help! Dunno what to do right now.. afraid to unplug or turn off anything!
[General Questions and Answers] kishankpadiyar:
Have you not gone thought any flashing guide in your phones forum..? You'll first have to flash a pit file.. Then this firmware.. This is the general procedure for all.. check in

galaxy ace forum for flashing guide and download the required pit file.. Flash that first and then firmware..

Galaxy Ace S5830 Faulty

Hello, I have tried to upgrade my phone to run a variant of ICS. Unfortunately, the ROM keeps flashing up error messages (after it loads) and so when I try to install another ROM, by going into recovery mode, I cannot move through the options in the blue text by using my volume keys because they do not work.

I have installed Odin (as an alternative) and I have downloaded several ROMs but I cannot find the *.tar files from within the files. It is confusing me. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [ThibaulT]:
Hi all :)

I own an Archos 80 G9 on latest 4.0.7 Firmware.

You know that since ICS, gamepad controllers can be used to browse the launcher or in emulators like SNESDroid or DroidEmu.

But I saw that not all gamepads are recognized.

My old and crappy Microsoft Sidewinder (not really friendly to use) works well on emulators and in the launcher.

But I tested with a Razer Onza (not the Tournament Edition), which doesn't work at all : nor in the launcher nor in emulators. I downloaded an app on the Play Store, "USB/BT JoyCenter TestApp" which allows to know if a USB device work or not on your phone/tablet. And miracle, the Razer SEEMS to work : when you push a button the lines mount and down (just test the app to understand ^^).

Do you think Archos can add in a future update the support for more joysticks or can a xda developer make it?

Sorry for my bad ugly naughty bad Zoot English :)

Go to option , "Manage App" ( From the applications screen)

Click on the application which you want to move.

There will be a button "Move to SD card"

This SD card is internal memory (11 gb)

Please not that this option will not be there for all the applications.

[Android Apps and Games] reggaester:
any changes in layout?
[Android Apps and Games] el_easy:
I have Sony wt19a and led blinking not fixed.... Thanks for your good work

Edit: okay i fixed it, the first time i download it is was in sdcard then i moved to the internal card.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Please try to be specific on errors and test problems thoroughly so I can find where the problem is.

I have a new version for you. I am not dealing with the layout right now.

I want to finish the led colors and add a sound reminder on specific interval's is someone wants.

New version

Changelog: 22/06/2012

* Added multi-led color support (red for errors, green for sms/mms, blue for delivery report)

The leds now can blink 2 or 3 colors changing one after another according to pending notifications. They are not cancelled until you clear the notifications or open the App.

As I have mentioned not all devices can use the color option. If you don't see the colors uncheck the Led Colors option.

Download and test (first post)

This works fine on my Sony NeoV so it must at least work ok on all Xperia roms.

I do not have time to update the screenshots right now.

If anyone wishing to do so please do.

Thank you.

TODO list:

- color picker for leds

- sound or vibration reminder after interval

- quick reply popup

- custom font colors for white/black bg

- custom buckground image for white/black
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
This is great, thank you so much!

I would like the reminder option, please.

I am running this on a ported CM9/ICS for a very simple Optimus S phone, and this gives me the option for a nice mms app. The others are too big for this little thing.

I just found this thread this morning, installed 12 and now 13. I use Titanium Backup and it does not recognize the new version 13, it just shows Messaging 2.3.4, so new version will not backup as new.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
1) Please re-download the 13 version I made slight changes and updated the link just now.

2) I did'nt want to change the version number internally just to know on which CM sms app it was based but I can update it in the next version so you don;t have a problem with titanium.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
I can delete the backup in Ti, and then backup again, no loss of data. I just have to remember, since I have Ti automatically update backups at night.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
I fixed it for you, download again and test it I put a versioncode in the apk.

The title is the same though.

Let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] Tim1928:
So far so good everything is working sms/mms great app
[Android Apps and Games] mn31pro:
the default character per one sms for persian(farsi) and arabic language is about 69 character. but when i type persian(farsi) or arabic, this app show 160 empty chracter (like english).with default app on my xmp it show 69 empty character.

please fix it.

thanks for your awesome app.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:

[Android Apps and Games] creeve4:
Where is the reference for the bubble text color?

I would like to change the color of the incoming text.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
It's in the res/values/colors.xml

<color name="text_color_inc">#ff000000</color>
<color name="text_color_out">#ffffffff</color>
<color name="text_color_black_inc">#ff000000</color>
<color name="text_color_black_out">#ffffffff</color>

Hmm that would be difficult to fix. For the T9 to work I have to do the conversion to 160 when Send button is pushed, so if I show the real count before the conversion it would be 70 for all languages... It should be ok in version 14. I fixed it. Please test and let me know.

Thank you.

Changelog 23/06/2012

* Added option to change Led notification Colors!

I didn't write a color picker, you have to define colors in format #AlphaRedGreenBlue or without Alpha (#RRGGBB/#AARRGGBB) where Alpha is transparency and is always ff if you want solid colors.

(example #ffff0000 or #ff0000 is red color). You can use some aliases too

'red', 'blue', 'green', 'black', 'white', 'gray', 'cyan', 'magenta', 'yellow', 'lightgray', 'darkgray'

Those are it according to documentation. Version 14 test and enjoy!

* Fixed Message counter for non GSM characters

Me2 for both issues, I revert to v28 and then resolve 1st issue....no issue with black bg

Something must have slipped, I will try to find it.

Are you root on your device?

[Android Apps and Games] Derzis:
no, the phone is new, i only update it to ICS 4.0.4 - Sony official release
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
I will have to update my phone to ics to test this.

It seems to happen on your phone only, other xperia phones work fine.

* Template management and timestamp on white skin fixed.

v35
[Android Apps and Games] baszu:
Could you move timestamp to be lower right corner?

Some of my contacts has long name and text are overlapped.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Yes but that would make the subject even smaller.

I will see how it looks or we can put the time on top.

From what I can see in your logcat, smspopup you re using killed my service and produced illegal exception.

I also see that a process called sms enhancer could generate problems.

I can;t figure out more on the double messages but I would suggest you try removing all sms related apps except stock and mine, then disable stock notifications and try to see what happens.

I can solve the problem permanently by making 2 versions, one for users having stock messaging app and one for all others who install mine as the only system app. I just wanted to make one version to work for both cases.
[Android Apps and Games] smallfish:
I try v35 & do not set complete timestamp. I notice you have made change to this, showing date only but default settings are short and clear, giving time only if on the same day
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
Error every time a text message is received and shuts down. Only after installing newest version.

I know when I receive texts because I have a force close message. Lol

[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Yes, only bugfixing, I am trying to solve several problems that occur sometimes like double messages or double notifications or wrong timestamps or fonts overlapping in layouts etc.

I did not add any feature I don't have time this week.

I have made minor changes to timestamps, double message detection code and some bugs from the delivery reports.

It should not F/C on anyone. Although it is hard to find what happens in every phone.

Right now I can only test this version on my NeoV gingerbread and the ICS 4 emulator.

Other than that I can only guess where the problem is on some devices.

If you can confirm working correctly I would appreciate.

Thank you, more to come.
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
Damnit! Still doing it although at least now I'm getting the notification icons at the top. Please help. Sorry to blow up this page but here are screenshots of error and my settings.....
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
Never mind. Not getting received notifications either. That was the stock sense messaging :( damn.

If you want to PM me email address I can send logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Hi,

Yes I need that logcat.

I think I can suspect what it is but I have to verify.

First of all if it is in the double messages detection it should be resolved with v38.

I removed all the code and rewritten all in different way.

If it has to do with the notification icons then I know exactly what is wrong.

Test 38 and I will upload an expiramental for you.

I pm you my email.
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
Ok sounds good. Logcat sent. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
38 works great except for double messages are back now. Other than that force closing has stopped and message notification is back in status bar.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
lol its that new super code i wrote , error free lol

Ok guys I am tired of trying to figure this code out. It just does not work. I wanted to be able to avoid duplicates,

either with stock or not messaging app installed but it seems impossible.

So I put an option for it.

Those who see doubles go uncheck the "No stock messaging" checkbox from settings.

This makes my app not inserting any message to the db because some other app is already doing that.

I would although suggest you remove or freeze the stock app instead.

Let me know if it works :)

v39

Now that I think about it if another messaging app is inserting the sms into the db originall timestamps my not work, I have to check that.
[Android Apps and Games] t..n:
great! v39 solves that problem, this way works for me no double messages anymore, thanks for your awesome app
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
Great job! May I suggest an option to hide the name and date from message bubbles? That would be nice, a real simplistic look.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Whoa! What a feature. I have not had any real issues, but I freeze the stock message app with Titanium Backup, so, that said.

I sent a message with 38, and it failed. I hardly ever see a failure, it has a nice little red triangle. So I touch that failed message, and it disappears, and i go what the h377?! I look close and the text is in the compose box, so I push Send, and it works! Wow. Never seen that before in any sms app, very cool! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
Okay so I went into titanium backup and froze it to use later since its an awesome app. Looks like its one or the other, double messages or force close depending on if box is checked or not. Can't freeze stock messaging because since its sense that means that your app can't send picture texts but it can do everything else. When the rezound gets AOSP roms then I'll defrost it and rock your apk. Thanks for all the hard work! Hate sense!
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
I still can try to solve ir, but i think that its the sms enhancer and the sms popup tha create your f/c .

send.me a.logcat but remove those 2 apps first
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
Done. I'm starting to get the feeling though that despite all your hard work it may just be a bug that can't be squashed.
[Android Apps and Games] Industrial:
you can add your great option to another app? the app is Ics Messagging available on market

or you can create a theme for your app based on this:p

thank you for really hard work
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
nope i think i ve found it. let me try to figure out why it complains on your rom and i ll have you a .ew v ready. its an sql query.

This pption cannot be added to an apk unfortunatelly. Theming takes even more time than developing. I am trying to solve all bugs first and add a few handy features before we go o. customizing.

yes but what if is a group message? how will you know who answers?
[Android Apps and Games] Industrial:
you can add a "privacy" setting, in the status bar appears only says "new message"

and not the text of the message.

thanks:good:
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Ok dude, 40 is your number. According to your logcat 40 should work fine.

Test and let me know ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:

[Android Apps and Games] tandat2104:
can you make a theme like this

I am sorry for asking twice but i like the wp7 ui verry much

i know it just 4 file gray_bubble.9

green_bubble.9

green_bubble_2.9

gray_bubble.9_2

but i don't have image edit skill :))

or you just post the older version (the version with the simple bubble, i don't remember, about 24,25..... ) and i will change color my self

sorry for my bad english
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
If you read @lousou76 posts, you will see themes are on the to-do list, but the basics will be coded and working first. Be patient, this dev and his app are so awesome, give him time to work the way he wants. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
The dev really is very good. This app should be on Google play
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
Thank you I knew it ;)

This version is with simple bubbles friend, 2 files basically on res/drawable green_bubble9 and gray_bubble9.

They are the same color though. You can change them if you like.

Later on we will have options to have different incoming/outgoing colors or some set of other bubbles we will see.

If you dont have image editing skills you should find the ones you like from the apk of the app that you liked.

If I have time I might do some info and shortcuts and upload it on google play, right now I just want to finish some features :)
[Android Apps and Games] arman68:
What a great enhancement on the stock messaging app. Instead, or in addition to uploading it to google play, and since android is open source, I think it would be great for all android users if you could incorporate your changes in the mainstream code repository, or at least cyanogenmod.
[Android Apps and Games] lousou76:
I don't want to share my code right now. I haven't decided what to do with it. I might sell it later or share it with cyanogenmod which gave me the original app to start.

For now it would be nice to just upload it and update it free on google play so everyone can find and update it.

I must though choose a different name to upload it, and maybe a different icon so it does not get mixed with other apps.

I just noticed something in my xperia neov. Did you know that none of the xperia phones have group contact support in the original Contact apps??? !!! lol go go sony!
