Hey all,

I'm trying to create a flashable zip for myself, for some ringtones I have to manually copy to /system/media/ everytime I flash a ROM (I flash nightlies) so I want to simplify this task with this zip.

I'm software developer, I know my way around linux consoles but are in general inclined towards web development. So I can understand most of the process of creating cwm zips.

My first guess was to check how other cwm zips were made. I grabbed the sgs3 ringtones zip and check it up.

It looks like an easy task to do, just replace those ringtones with mine, since on updater-script they only copy whatever there is on "system" to "/system". Before that there's the mount /system, then after that, unmount system.

But this is where my question comes from. Mounting and Unmounting /system.

I've seem some CWM zips that mount this way:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

However, busybox is definitely not at that location, I checked. It could be a symlink though, I don't know if root explorer doesn't show symlinks. Busybox seems to be in /system/xbin/busybox.

Also, my other question is for unmounting. I've seen this:

unmount("/system");

AND this:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");

So, as for the first question, is it safe to use that line of code for mounting /system? is there a "hidden" symlink to busybox somehow?

2. Unmounting /system, what's the difference between the unmount() command and using the run_program(busybox) command? They both work? Why are there two of them? Which one should I use?

On this CWM flashable zip I took as an example, they mount /system with busybox and unmounts /system with unmount("/system");

It's really confusing. Can anyone help me?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
You can install busy box in either location, it works (at least for me) in /system/bin or /system/xbin. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] typhoonikan:
Help!

I have an app on my old EVO 4G that is set up for recurring charges and is putting my bank account that I don't use in the hole (repeatedly -_-).

The problem is that this EVO came from ASURION and they do not include serial numbers with the phones THEY send out. Unfortunately, I have to email the app company my device serial number as that is how they pair the account with the app apparently- not my email or a site-based log in.

I have done it before, but I can't find the ADB command that brings up the device's serial number. What is it?

And yes, I need the serial number, not the MEID HEX or DEC.

I've been running Infamous 2.7.1 ROM perfectly, well 99%...

I have one glitch... I cant get a reboot! Every time i try to restart the phone it freezes in "goodbye " logo! If i try to turn it off it also freezes! I've already let it stand for 10 minutes and nothing...

I just pull the battery and its fine!

Luckily i'm able to use recovery mode and download mode!

Any ideas? Is it the ROM?

Thanks!

Any way to change or customize the directory where the pictures go when you take them or record a video?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KBizzle:
Only option is to change from the phone or sd card.

[HTC Amaze 4G] S1D3winder016:
Is there anyway or any app/mod that has ture not fake Thermal, Night, FLIR?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
No, it requires modules that cell phones don't have. Like infared LEDs

Sent from my epic amaze 4g
[HTC Amaze 4G] S1D3winder016:
That sucks. :( Oh well. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
yeah, it does. they should make a phone for that and call it "The Explorer" for travelers
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Lol you can always grab the fake effect, i think most camera apps have one, makes for really cool pics
[HTC Amaze 4G] S1D3winder016:
lol I know that, I just wanted the real deal, I want to be in the Military and thought I'd be cool to have that! Thanks for the replies!
[HTC Amaze 4G] derpTastic:
If you were REALLY bent on making some form of FLIR. A cheap webcam with the infrared filter removed and a IR LED floodlight or just a few LEDs bought online will do the trick for you.

Heck, depending on how sensitive the camera chip is to infrared, you may even be able to 'see' in low light conditions if you have a bright enough IR source.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Can the newest iPad see thermal imaging? I touched an iPad for the first time and saw turned the camera on in midnight dark room no light. My friend had phone on hands and the camera picked it up as red
[HTC Amaze 4G] derpTastic:
It would still only be 'fake' thermal imaging. Mobile devices lack the required components for thermal imaging.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Well it does a pretty good job lol

[HTC Amaze 4G] rustyxj6:
If an infrared LED is one component that is needed you can buy a flashlight that uses several "modules" and interchange them as needed. For example there are regular LED, incandescent, ultraviolet, flood, throw, blue, red, green, and infrared LED modules. Only problem is that the infrared ones there is some red glow form the led.

Not sure what else i needed to get the cellphone working on night vision.

On another note using a cellphone for night vision is kind of an oxymoron. A webcam hooked so that you can view at a remote location with no light I can see. But with a cellphone the light hitting your eyes from the screen kind of defeats the purpose of night vision.
[HTC Amaze 4G] paperWastage:
another problem is that a lot of camera sensors have an IR filter (removing any unwanted effects from the non-visible IR spectrum)

you might have to peel off that filter somehow
[HTC EVO 3D] _MetalHead_:
So in cleaning my room I stumbled across a very lightly used black Otterbox Commuter case for my EVO 3D that I got rid of many many moons ago. I have no use for it. Been doing case giveaways for the past few weeks over in the AT&T One X forums so I figure why not do one over here to get rid of this case. If you want it, it's yours, I'll even pay shipping.

Requirements-

You must have been an active member of xda for at least 1 month

You must have at least 100 posts

You must have at least 5 thanks

You must live in one of the 48 contiguous states (sorry, not paying for

international shipping)

You must actually NEED and WANT it (honor system here)

First one to post in this thread that meets these requirements gets it. I want this to go to someone who is actually going to use it so if you dont plan on using it, please don't post.
[HTC EVO 3D] cburk01:
I don't meet the requirements, as in the 100 posts thing, but I REALLY need the case. Don't have a case yet, and I desperately need one.
[HTC EVO 3D] _MetalHead_:
Sorry bud, can't budge on the requirements.
[HTC EVO 3D] cburk01:
Dangit, the only one I don't meet is the 100 posts.

Only have 57. Don't see why that'd be a requirement.... :P
[HTC EVO 3D] zachdees:
i have the requirements and are in need of a good case for work because im kinda clumsy very unfortunate unlucky..

kinda seems like im feelin sorry for my self but its the truth...

hope you make a good decision:}

I Definately would have great use for the product as for as collision and contact with the ground probably and most likely would be the daily driver because my defender broke
[HTC EVO 3D] cburk01:
:(

*rages*
[HTC EVO 3D] _MetalHead_:
Sorry man. Buy an AT&T One X and get some more posts in and try your luck at one of my weekly giveaways!

Cool, it's yours. PM me your shipping info and I'll send it out on Monday.
[HTC EVO 3D] nolimit06:
Would love it actually, have not had much luck with my phone lately... Nice chip in the screen and with fighting workers comp right now I don't have the income to get a new case. If the above won no biggie :) Thanks for doing this though!
[HTC EVO 3D] cburk01:
Are requirement always the same?
[HTC EVO 3D] zachdees:
your Reply was greatly appreciated thanks Dearly !
[HTC EVO 3D] _MetalHead_:
Sorry bud, zachdees got it. Good luck with your workers comp claim, I know how tough those can be sometimes.

They haven't been but I think they are going to be from here on out. I just want to make sure the people who get my cases are active members of the community who try and help out and aren't going to take my case and run.

[Nook Touch General] Oscar.Ferro:
Now and then it happens to me that after I re-root my NST, when I click the top-right icon in Google Maps I get a "Please enable a My Location source in system settings" popup.

The last time it happened, I installed SetupWizard, created a shortcut with Anycut and re-run the Wizard, checking the "Allow Google's location service" box. That solved the problem.

But now I've tried that, I tried editing the Settings.db as suggested here but I still can't get it to work.

I'm not very Android-savy, and I'd like to know exactly what to do before I break something.

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Touch General] skyli91:
Hi!

What I did:

1, added <boolean name="location_wifi" value="true"/> line to com.android.setting_preferences.xml

2, added networklocatio.apk to system/app

3, created a shortcut with BetterCut 3.4 to the setupwizard and launched it

4, restarted

It works:)

Would love to see my device this week

All I can say is that I need a Tablet, I just may have to get something until my Nexus 7 is shipped. I ordered with in a few hours of the announcement, but have no info on shipping, and my account has not been charged, the original hold was removed, according to Google that is normal, and should see a charge a few days before the item is sent out.

Now we wait, lets get the camp fire going, and unroll our sleeping bags, I dont think anyone will get any sleep until we get our tablets.

I see lots of pplz asskin how to downgrade to 1.6 so I just wanted to know benefits of doing so
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
There are not many people asking for it, but apparently there is a root-program named z4root that only works on 1.6, apparently they didn't pay much attention to getting flashtool :)

The only other reason could be that their update to 2.1 gave them more problems than they had before, but they really should go to their SE service centre to get that corrected.

There really are no other benefits of going back, not to mention, there are no ways of really getting back to it, since SEUS or PC Companion won't let you do it, and there are no custom firmwares for 1.6.

I hope i've made things a bit more clear for you.

I bought a galaxy note today used and the guy said the home button didnt work because of a software update. i did some quick research and took the bait. Unfortunately I have discovered it is a hardware related issue. I wanted to try one last thing by flashing a new rom over to it.

The bad part is I rushed and flashed a gb kernel ( abyssnote) and It wont boot. I cant get into recovery because the home button is broken.

Does anyone know of any other way to get into recovery? when i plug it in my computer doesn't recognize it so adb/odin are out.

[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
Not the one on the battery. I mean like the actual one INSIDE the phone.

Here is an attached picture, are these it? The red dots?

Also, as a second question, if my phone is on stock 2.3.5 via RSD flash(sunfire sbf file), does this count as stock to the manufacture? My bootloader is locked still, can they tell I've modified my phone in the past(such as ROM's or rooting)?

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] RedXXII:
Those would be your liquid damage indicators. Looks like it took a swim. As for the bootloader I'm not sure maybe someone can chime in.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
as long as you're running a stock os and stock recovery you're probably good. some people don't even have problems turning it in while it's rooted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
But what is considered stock OS? I flashed it via RSD(the sunfire sbf file)....

And if i do a phone exchange do you think they'll send it back if they look at those indicators? There is no corrosion on the mobo or anything..:good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
sbf'ing is making it stock. aka the os made by moto for the phone.

i'm not entirely sure what they'll do. i don't think they'll send it back, but they might charge you more for a replacement. i hope you have insurance on it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] RedXXII:
If the technician knows what they are doing, they will make you go through Asurion (the insurance company). As a former sprint service manager, I'd make ya go through the insurance. That's Sprint's policy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] findthedr:
what color are those dots supposed to be if there wasnt water damage?

Couldnt the op just "paint" it that color?
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
They are supposed to be white. Yes, theoretically you could paint them white, that's called fraud. Especially if you're dealing with the insurance company, also, I believe you can order new dots online.....Might look into that :hurr:
[Motorola Photon 4G] findthedr:
looks like this one: http://www.cellulardr.com/motorola-...-3mm-x-26-free-first-class-mail-shipping.html
[Motorola Photon 4G] RedXXII:
Well if you do that you're going to want to take it in ASAP. Because if that phone was on after it got wet, the board will start to oxidize and the water markings will turn white or whitish. And they usually know what to look for. As for putting down new ones ya got make sure there's no adhesive or water around where the stickers were.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
It's been 3 months since I got water on it.

Also, as for those dots, I ordered some and i'll replace the two dots on my mobo asap. Anybody know of any other locations these things are hiding? Under the mobo maybe?

And where can I order the screw warranty stickers? (they go ontop of screws so you can't open the phone).
