Yea, stock rooted. Hmm weird.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HackitZ:
Ok I have been reading and if someone can confirm what i think is the case that would be great.

we can theme system ui apk but not the framework apk.

we can not adb fonts if we are on a locked bootloader, having root is not enough.

so with a locked bootloader and root only we are limited to what zip's we can flash or what apk we can adb.

of course no hacked kernels with locked bootloader.

thanks guy's.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
You can do anything with /system on locked boatloader if you're rooted. The reason why you can't theme the frameworks is because no one deodexed it successfully.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alphine.zzz:
hear hear..

@hackit

main thing that can not do in locked bootloader is pushing kernel.

How could you conclude that with rooted phone can not theme the phone?

do you have this problem? rooted and cannot them?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HackitZ:
No I have not tried yet. Just haven't seen much as far a themes for locked bootloaders.

I found a few posts on the HTC and Samsung threads about decompiling ics systemui.apk. I have already done work on the framework.apk.

But with saying that I have yet tried to recompile framework. So it may not work. Fingers crossed.

When and if I get a working theme ill share.

Just curious, I have the international and I am on T-mobile in the U.S.

Will the I international ever be able to attain 4G Speeds on T-mobiles network? For instance once quad cores become the norm in phones (like they are on the verge of doing).

Or would I be better off selling and getting a T-mobile g3?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:
well, as far as i know by end of this year we will be able to use 3g or hspa+ but for now i am sticking with 2g :)

or just change your mobile network, get straighttalk or att
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bubbasparxxx98:
Ok. 3g would be great. For the most part that is what is in most areas anyway. I just wasn't sure if it was our phone that didn't have the right radios or if it was T-mobile/other carriers that didn't have the right modems for our exynos.

No problems here....

I'm running the nightlies (July 25th) and haven't had the same problem. Did you wipe cache & dalvik before flashing? If you were on a different ROM did you wipe Data (3x) and then flash ROM?

Sorry if this has been asked her before, but I've done a search, and it doesn't seem to come up at least here in the AT&T S III forums.

I'm going to need to send in my phone for return, and was wondering how I might unroot and relock the bootloader on the phone. I'm hoping the process does exist, and it seems like chainfire has an app to reset the flash counter.

Thank you SO MUCH in advance.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeJam:
Hello

Here is short story:

I rooted i9100m, everything was fine (method entering recovery, open cwm and install busybox)

So I wanted to install cm9 and took rc2 for sgs2, boot into recovery, 1st I did wipe factory reset (took very long) and clicked on reboot phone after reseting, instead of install from sd... (no big deal I was thinking). Phone could not move from boot screen even after taking out battery and restarting.

After that we tried CM9 from cwm, CM9 with odin( version for odin of cm9). always the same, stuck in boot. I found this soft brick unbrick thread on this forum and tried flashing stock rom (bell canada) nothing....even tried stock ginger..same story. when I tried to wipe reset data I get kernel panic (after every flashing I tried to reset/wipe). Sometimes its "kernel panic" sometimes "E: /data could not be mounted or found" (something like that)

I still can enter download or recovery mode

I searched whole forum for solution but I couldn't find it

PS: there was a method with ODin using this pit and repartition but from provided download link was only stock rom nothing else.

please help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hahmjt:
I saw when flashing a new firmware, repartition is avoided. but in case of brick, is there any way to repartition the device?

I think pit file is needed and I couldnt find it. Help Please!

I unlocked my T-Mobile sensation 4G and I purchased a at&t 4G sim card.Is it possible to get unlimited data along with minutes and texts on at&ts $50.00 a month plan?would I get 4G service or edge?I was told if I was to change my phones radio bands that I could get 3G service.If anyone knows the answers to my qwestions would you please respond back.I would appreciate it.
[Networking] MissionImprobable:
I thought AT&T dropped their unlimited for new users.
[Networking] forrest89sei:
The HTC Sensation 4G does not support AT&T's 850MHz/1900MHz Band in 3G, so you will run at edge speeds (I know this because I just unlocked my friends Sensation 4G to be used on AT&T) As far as unlimited data goes they say unlimited but if they see spikes in your usage wither your on a Plan or Go Phone they will now convert you to a Smartphone Data Package Automatically.

Your best bet depending on who has the best reception where you are at is to either get a Straight Talk Sim Card for T-Mobile, Which your 3G Will work or a Straight Talk Sim card for AT&T which your 2G Speeds will only work
[Networking] Mr.Mischief:
Why don't you get the $60 T-Mobile unlimited plan?

I like Straight Talk, though I'm a little wary of the data limit.
[Networking] Milton515:
You could also try Simple Mobile $60 plan for unlimited talk, text, and 4g data

Sent from My Pkmn Sensation 4g
[Networking] Mesaman2012:
For $60 I get unlimited data with T-Mobile and simple wireless?
[Networking] Mr.Mischief:
Both $60 plans are the same. Except T-Mobile publishes the throttle point. Both companies throttle at 2GB's on those plans.

With ICS, when a message surpasses more then 3 SMS, it is automatically converted to MMS, what many people think it's not a good thing, because a lot of them have free SMS.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billagreste:
Hello, Wondering if anyone here could help out. I recently went from MIUI US ICS rom to CM9 and love the latest build of CM9. I had not tried a backup of the rom after flashing to CM9, but noticed that Rom Manager updated at play.google.com and then I decided maybe I should make a backup of CM9 sine it was shaping up pretty nicely as I've been setting up apps,etc.

Well, I can't get into recovery. I can boot into the bootloader and it shows Revolutionary as the boot loader and I can get into Fastboot but if I toggle down to recovery and press the power button it just jumps back to the bootlloader screen. I can't get past this.

I'm tempted to put a different recovery on here now as the rom manager didn't work out even though it came stock on my CM9.

But before I risk bricking my phone, I was hoping someone here could back me up a bit and give me some input. I really don't know that much about this.. I can root phones, install recoveries, etc., but if something goes wrong I'm not knowledgeable enough to actually understand what went wrong and how to fix. I am guessing that recovery is not actually installed here and that Revolutaionary (what I used long ago to get root) wasn't planned to be the boot here.

Help please anyone!!!!!

Just flash a recovery again that should do it same thing happen to me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CRIME INC.:
Try reflashing recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billagreste:
It's been a while since I've done someting like that. By this you mean place a recovery package on the zip card, press the power button at the bootloader, then let the phone install the recovery when it runs thru the fastboot screen?

If yes, great, I remember that, but which recovery should I download? And what about rom manager on CM9? Does it care which recovery is installed?

I appreciate the knowledge here. IT sure is appreciated when things go wrong for folks like myself!

Oh, I should point out that I can stil boot into the phone and use it. The whole issue is limited to getting into recovery to create and/or restore backups of the rom.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
1st off, I should shun you for being corrupt with CWM, but I'll help ya out.

Use the search bar and type in "Smelkus recovery" find a themed recovery zip you like and rename it "PC36IMG.zip" and place on the root of your SD card (in no folders) boot to boot loader and let it search, press volume up to update recovery and boom! You have new, better recovery.

As for flashing CM9, check out Jmzs CM9 nightlies. Its better and (supposedly) almost has Wimax working. Once you flash an Amon Ra based recovery, CWM becomes basically useless. So ditch it for the good of everyone. ENJOY :)

Well can I pick your brain once more? I decided to update my wifes phone from MIUI to CM9. She happened to have Clockwork recovery 5.0.2.2. on the phone which I recall was put there by whatever rooting routine I used. Before installing CM9, I tried to update the recovery with Smelkus from the clockwork recovery 5.0.2.2 that's on the phone to smelkus, but when I try to flash it, the smelkus recovery just sits there "parsing" so when I bail out and go back to check, the clockwork version recovery is still there.

This phone was rooted with Revolutionary but I notice that S-ON is still active. I read that S-OFF is not necessary to install a recovery --- at least not the clockwork version that is on this phone. I'm not sure if that's causing the problem or not. Any advice?

Hello... d-b-s

By chance have you seen this recovery located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29266458

I have a spare evo that is sorta-bricked or sorta screwed, not sure which... It has a SD slot that seems to be locked out. Nothing can be read from it but I did get it working once but lost it. ANd it also doesn't boot unless I have a power plug in it, but otherwise, it works, flashes, etc.. it's got CM9 right now in it but again somewhat useless without the SD memory.... anyhow, it's been a plaything for me figureing I'll either fix it, learn or kill it. None has happened yet.. but in searching for getting a recovery installed that uses the screen hard buttons versus the volume (this rocker switch on volume is broken too), I installed this recovery and it's different than anythign else... fully menuized .. real customized, and thought I would mention it to you.

If you have a look at it, let me know what you think.

Bill.

I'm familiar with twrp. I don't much care for it though. A dew tricks with smelkus is it has touch scrolling, and the bottom buttons work as up+down+back+select..

Also I might know of a fix for the SD card not being read. I'll get back to you with that.

d-b-s,

That would be fantastic if you had a clue on the SD card. I did try a FastBoot string that reset it once the first time and it worked, but somehow I lost it again. I think a corrupt or defective SD card started the whole problem and restarted it when I put it's data SD back in.

All sounds very cool, nice one.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] azoller1:
looks very promising, do you know if there are any CDMA dongles for 4G phones on Verizon?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] emarietta:
Is there a better explanation of how this works ? Would we have to have a data plan to use this or is it just picking up 3g?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] trevd:
Not a clue, I'm not in the US and don't really have an understanding of the US celluar network. I'm unsure whether this implementation of the ril library ( the part that talks to android ) can handle CDMA as I've only got GSM dongles to test with.

Hi

This is using Huawei 3G Dongles ( sometime called mobile broadband ) which were quite popular in the UK and Europe, Something along the lines of this ( linked picked at random ) they normally come with their own sim card, and by extension a data plan, generally on a pay-and-go basis.They are effectively a fast "dialup modem" ( by UK Standards anyway :) )

The modems are generally carrier branded / locked and are restricted to data and sms only. However the carrier restriction can be removed and voice support can be added via firmware updates if the hardware allows.

My carrier ( 3-UK ), picked this up as tethering when I used my Phone SimCard for testing and as such It is not a method around tethering restrictions your operator may have in place. ;)

I hope the helps shed some light on the topic.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DroidHam:
cool idea, ill just use my 4g tether though ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lovleshgarg:
Great work mate!!! Just one question:

I will be getting my Nexus 7 in a couple of days and I already own a HP TouchPad running CM9. I want to know can I tether my dongle's internet on my nexus 7 with the HP Touchpad via Wifi or bluetooth?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] trevd:
That's a dam fine question :) . The word FrankenConnection instantly sprung to mind :laugh: I haven't got the tablet in front of me at the moment and off the top of my head I'd say probably not by default.

However, It wouldn't be too difficult to enable on a technical level, it's all about your ip routing tables, they are probably numerous apps on play to do it, although personally i've a little no success with then. Cyanogenmod has it built into to the rom, at least on CM9 on my Sensation and that works a treat. I will have a proper look as It could be crazy enough to work!. :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laz2336:
had a go but no luck

using a Huawei E353 dongle with a variation of a 3 sim. has its own APN and a static IP, left over from a work project.

flashed the new boot, copied the new system and made the permissions mod. the various apps show up

under about tablet it shows baseband as unknown and if i try to add an APN it goes through the motions but doesnt add it to the list.

I've attached the logs, i'm no developer but i can follow instructions if any one can suggest any thing. there is every possibility i've messed up in the install so feel free to suggest dumb stuff that i should have known in the first place.

It could just be that the dongle isn't supported in which case we can chalk up a zte MF112 as been a duffer as well (had one kicking about so gave it a go)

Hi There,

Thanks for trying...... The Logcat proved useful. As many a woman has said to me, "It's not you it's me" :laugh: ..... You need to make the rest of the added files in /system/bin executable.

adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/usb_modeswitch
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/rild

this line in the logcat explains it all

E/logwrapper( 842): executing /system/bin/usb_modeswitch failed: Permission denied

Good Luck and thanks for the detailed info...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laz2336:
It Lives!!!

I can see mobile networks, signal strength and all that good stuff. just need to figure out the APN details now for this cranky sim :)

top job trevd
[Nexus 7 Android Development] trevd:
It should pull the apn off the sim automatically.... the Radio Interface Layer may need a bit more tweaking, If you want to post more logcats, I wouldn't mind a cheeky look because that's how I get my kicks :)

Don't forget to turn your Wifi Off...... And sometimes turning data roaming on helps. especially with t-mobile/orange in the UK
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laz2336:
happy to run logs for you. i will say though that this is no run of the mill sim, it sits on top of 3 as a carrier but has its own 3rd party APN, login details and a statip IP address when it is connected. it does pick the apn from the sim and show the default 3 apn settings, i just need to tweak them a bit.

I'll find a hub and get some logs with modem hooked up.

update

wow these logs get big quickly. this one has the modem been removed, reconnected, negotiating with the network and trying to log in. I've removed apn,usernames and passwords and replaced them with <APN> <username> <password>. I can give you the APN name over pm if it helps but for security reasons i can't give out the login details, bit too company specific.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] laz2336:
bit more of an update, hooked up the ZTE MF112 in the office this morning it seen and sees the network. This dongle is unlocked so i've given it a go with my own vodafone sim from my phone. copied the apn settings across from the phone (just the standard vodafone 'internet' APN), it goes through the the motions of trying to connect but never gets there. I'll fire up the logging a bit later and get you a bit more data.

on a side note so far both these dongles have been able to be connected while the device is turned on and been picked up automaticaly.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] trevd:
I think it may be more permissions

Hi I had a little sleep on it, it's probably more persmission issues *facepalm*

adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/ppp/init_pppd_gprs
adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/ppp/ip-up-gprs
adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/ppp/ip-down-gprs

As a test You can try running

adb shell /system/etc/ppp/init_pppd_gprs

which should start a native connection ( the modem will connect but android won't know about it ), although you can use the built in browser and Gapps ( play , gmail ,youtube etc ) as they don't use androids connectivity service to check for connections
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laz2336:
no logs yet but heres the update so far.

set the permissions on those three files and had another go. no difference. do all the files that get put in the ppp directory need to be executable?

trying to start the connection with init_pppd_gprs doesn't manage to connect with either dongle, though the E353 does seem to get further. it moves on to a new line in terminal emulator with out returning any thing. with the MF112 it gets quite vocal about not been able to find the usb device despite it showing as been registered on the network under system properties.

sadly can't put the voda sim in the E353 as the bloddy thing is locked.(did try, though it pulls the APN details it won't see the voda network)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] trevd:
Unlocking is a relative straight forward procedure the details of which can found on "the internet" I think theres a windows executable that generates the code and a also python script knocking around if linux is your thing

you can check execution permissions by doing

adb shell ls -l /etc/ppp

which is long format list directory in linux

You result should long like this ( or similar )

-rwxrwxrwx root root 610 2012-07-30 05:17 init_pppd_gprs
-rwxrwxrwx root root 289 2012-07-30 05:17 ip-down-gprs
-rwxrwxrwx root root 482 2012-07-30 05:17 ip-up-gprs

as long as you have 3 "x" against the file you should be good to go! and they do need to in executable.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laz2336:
yep got 3 x's againt those three, do the other files in there need to beexecutable as well?

I've had a dig throughthe boxes in the store room and found an un activated 3 sim with a gig of data waiting to be used. i'll run that through this afternoon, should be better for testing with.

I did have a look on 'the internet' for ways to unlock the e353. found a few that are ment to work in its vanilla state but these ones have the 3 firmware on them. i'll keep looking, it will be out there.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laz2336:
right then logs at last. this is using a freshly registered 3 pay as you go sim using all the defaul APN settings in a 3 branded e353 dongle (that dispite showing as unlocked in the software checker util still refuses to see either voda or o2) and atempting to start the connection manualy.
