I was able to figure out his yahoo password which allowed me to reset his gmail password! I got his contacts. Thanks!

Anyway I will try to unlock the phone later when this all settles down so one of his sons can at least use it. (Their Mom passed away last summer, they are in their early 20's)

Thank you so much guys!
[HTC EVO 3D] to0:
It won't hard reset it on its own, but what I forgot was that it requires the HTC unlock, which will hard reset it. What a pain.

I thought that GMail was part of the applications that stored their passwords in plain text in the sqlite3 databases, but it uses token authentication. A lot of other apps store their passwords in clear text though, so maybe one of those passwords would also work for the GMail. Unless something has changed in ICS, you can bypass the lockscreen by updating /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db.

If you have access to his PC, you could check his saved passwords in his web browser, perhaps.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] W4ll:
Hello!

I'm about to root and try some customs ROMs like the CyanogenMod 7.2.0 .32 Kernel (21/07/2012), on my U8800.

But I’m not totally sure how to approach this.

I’ve never rooted or updated before. So I was hoping this forum would be able to shed some light on how this is suppose be done.

After reading through loads of threads here on the forum, I still have lots of questions, and I hope someone here has the answers. :)

At the moment I’m running B133 (Android 2.2.1) and my phone is an U8800.

Here are my questions: :laugh:

1. Is it possible to backup IMEI before rooting? And how is it done?

2. Is SuperOneClick v.2.3.3(last version) compatible with all firmware's for the U8800?

3. What do i use clockworkMod for, and is the last version compatible with all firmware's on the u8800.

4. Should i stay on B133 if i want to try the CyanogenMod 7.2.0 .32 or should I upgrade to another firmware.

5. How and what should I backup before proceeding. (to be on the safe side)

6. How unstable(or safe) are the newest firmware's B526 & B528? I’m kind of keen on trying the Aurora ICS later on.

I think that’s all the questions I have for now, but I might have some more later on. I really hope you can help me :fingers-crossed:

Thanks in advance!

When I have tried this, I’ll write a guide for all the newcomers(like me).

So it will be easier for newcomers, to root, upgrade and change ROMs etc.. Without the need to spend a week on the forum reading through all these threads.

Best regards!

W4ll
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
1. No but after rooting search 5iromtoolbox.

2. No. It doesn't work with B528

3. You use CWM to flash roms, backups, wipes, etc. Use 5.0.2.6 with android 2.2.X and 5.5.0.4 with 2.3.5 +

4. Stay. All .32 (kernel) roms are for android 2.2.X

5. Use titanium backup for apps, some other backup app (from market) for contacts, messages, etc. and nandroid backup in CWM (backup menu).

6. Official roms work, but they are often unstable and have bugs. Upgrading causes problems for some people.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] W4ll:
Thank you!

Thank you so much! Awesome! So it goes root->backup>flash>done. GREAT!:laugh:

So CMW is like my insurance if something goes wrong. BTW it's always recommended to have a backup of IMEI even on the lower firmware's, right?

Do I need to install any drivers before i start?

Again, thank you!:victory:

W4ll
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
1. Yes

2. I don't know about drivers, but Google z4root apk, download + install it and press "permanent root" or "root"
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] W4ll:
Is z4root apk better/easier then SuperOneClick? So what's the difference between "permanent root" or "root"?

Thank's again :)

W4ll
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
1. Easier, you don't need computer, but it only works with 2.2.1.

2. Older versions have only "root" button, newer versions have "permanent root" and "temporary root".

Hi to evarybody!

i have an issue: i have a desire HD, and i want that the soft keys blink (or simply switched on) when i receve an sms or missed call on my phone and the screen is turned off.

My phone is routed and now i have ice cold sandwich rom vers. 8.4 aokp

the kernel is 2.6.35.14-LordmodUE 9.8.8 (that is included with this rom)

in this rom, in settings-->rom control --> led option --> there is "use BLN" , i have activated it with the flag, but when i try to test it with a missed call or sms, the sofkays remains off !!! :(

I know that there is also a BLN sotware in the market, i have dowloaded it, but is impossible to activate it because the kernel is not compatible!!!

What i have to do??

i come from gingerbread 2.3 where i used app "let me know" that have this function and works perfectly! with any rom of andorid 4.0 this app don't work...and also bln app....and also the settings included on the roms (i have tryed also miui...)

Let me get this straight. You want the home, meu, back and search button to light up when you receive a notification? If the answer is yes, I'll flash ice cold and take a look. I don't understand why it doesn't work for you.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeitraffer:
Get into the LED menu at RomControl, switch the function ON or OFF.

Exit.

Get back into the menu and switch it ON or OFF again.

Exit.

Worked for me, I had the same problem.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megamarco83:
capastl chiefly

Hi!

i have try your suggest...and it works...but partially :(

i try to explain better: i switched on an off three times (with enter and exit on RomControl menu -> led notification) and finally i had swiched on the bln and then exit.

i try to send at my desire hd one sms....and the soft keys (home, menu, back, and search) was light on! (perfect!!)

then i delete the notification, i had lock my screen, the softkeys wos not lighted (perfect!!!).... and so i sent another sms... the softkeys light on! (perfect)

finally i have delete the sms notification, i locked my scree, i made a missed call....and when the my ringtones shut off, the screen became locked....the soft keys was NOT light on (NOT correct!) because if i look at my notification there is a missed call but the soft keys was not light on :(

i have also made another test...i have download from the market the bln free software, and when i open it, there is a message error: the bkn mod in son installed, and is not possible to activate it.....

thanks again to you and to all for all the answer!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megamarco83:
yes, i tried and didn't works :(

(is ok only for sms notification....and the lighk is only turned on....not blinking :( ....but ok....should be ok anly with light on, without blinking....but with all notification, not only with sms:)

p.s.

finally....if you test ics 8.4 aokp....i discoveder also a problem with vibration on sms (if i recive an sms the vibration NOt working!!) ....this happen in both case: only vibration and no sound or vibration+sound....in both case NO vibration when i receive an sms. (if i receive a call the vibration is on in both case...)

i could not post that problem on the rom post because i have not that autorization :(

anyhow, Im charging my phone to flash ice cold, I had downloaded it when it was released to test it out, just hadn't had the time.

I did a search in the meantime. Read these and search a bit more to see if you find your answer. The first two are from other phones, the last one is for icecold.

[NFC Hacking] amt897:
Hey guys,

I did some searching and asked in some IRC channels, but couldn't find a satisfactory answer. I heard Biwoto Cerbero can maybe do I what I want it to do, but even though I'm in New Jersey, their app keeps downloading in Spanish for me. (I emailed them, I'll update this thread if that app can do what I want)

Basically, I have a Nexus 7 I'm trying to enable as a beer pouring authenticator for the Kegbot project. NFC authentication is easy past the lockscreen, but I also want to be able to use the tablet. Seeing as how I'm in college, letting some drunk friends play with my personal gmail sounds like a bad idea.

So I have two questions. One, I haven't seen this for the Nexus 7, but I know it's possible-- how hard would it be (presumably in a custom ROM) to enable NFC to work with the lockscreen off?

Two, is it possible to implement a top lock over my pattern unlock, wherein the top lock (could be anything, but presumably just a simple swipe) would allow access to only one application (the Kegbot app that responds to authenticated NFC tags by offering to pour a beer), but still keep another lockscreen in place to prevent other apps from being used?

That would also allow me to keep an app that writes specific strings or something to the tags to allow for access control if I don't want people rewriting their own NFC cards. (Though I could always write lock those)

Thanks!
[NFC Hacking] amt897:
Hate to reply to myself, but I think I've found the answer.

So my googling turned up this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5iaXdvdGEuY2VyYmVybyJd

It has some localization issues they're trying to fix, but it's not hard to change the language to English if you play around with the settings.

I've been emailing back and forth with one of the developers, who has been helping me out a ton. If you have the premium version (only a dollar), you can call their lock screen (either PIN or NFC) to come up after you leave the application you are in that you want to restrict access to. So I have my face unlock, get past the Cerbero lock, then I open my app. I call an intent in the app on destruction of the launcher activity that brings up the lock again. It's not the cleanest solution, but it works for my purposes.
[NFC Hacking] johnwin:
Did you have any luck being able to use NFC without having to unlock the screen? i've seen other device specific solutions on xdad but nothing for the Nexus 7

Thanks.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] htcfan85:
Hey, I'm a bit of noob so I'm not sure how exactly the installation of mods work with system data. I've used CleanROM from ScottsRoms and Xi40 from Team Nocturnal and I like both of them. However, I like some of the mods from the Xi40 ROM that I'd like to transfer over to the CleanROM 4.5 candidate 1. Would this be possible through using Titanium Backup? I see there are a lot of data to choose when backing up system data, so would I be able to choose the data mods changed too?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SkookDroid:
What mods in particular are you talking about? If you mean the coredroid tweaks then no thats not possible to transfer over. Correct me if im wrong anyone but titanium backup is just for apps. If you want mods and what not youll have to either flash them or have choose the ROM they come with. But no, I dont think its possible to transfer mods between ROMs using titanium backup

For a while, installing it stopped all notification lights. I only wanted it for sleep settings. I changed some colours today (red and green) but then even what was left as blue stopped working.

Test only shows green too.

It just seems to be unreliable for now. I wish I could get tasker to turn off notifications.

On my phone (I9300) it worked, but not perfectly. There were some audio outputs activated. Like someone is commenting me, while I'm doing pinch out on the touchwiz launcher. Idk why, but that f*cked me totally up, so I had to delete this app -.-

hopefully it was a bug, but it was really annoying.

EDIT: A glitch inside this app activated partially the talkback feature, to be concrete.

}
}
return mDirectionDescriptions.get(index);
}

specifically in the return mTargetDescriptions.get(index); and return mDirectionDescriptions.get(index);.

This should fix it:

- return mDirectionDescriptions.get(index);
+ try {
+ String directionZ = mDirectionDescriptions.get(index);
+ return directionZ;
+ } catch (Exception e) {
+ return "";
+ }

- return mTargetDescriptions.get(index);
