[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkrider82:
It happened also to me once. I flashed my rom in the same order as you did. But what my problem solved was, I made a wipe AFTER I installed the ROM. After that, I didn't had this issue anymore.

These are the steps I did...

- Get into the CWM recovery

- Wipe Data/factory reset

- Wipe Cache

- Wipe Dalvik-Cache

Hope it works also to you...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basse10000:
Solved

I solved it by flashing a later official firmware - XXALF6.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0uzic:
Thanks, I'll try twice methods :o

Update: It's rare, but has returned to work normal and I doing nothing
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitky82:
Hello,

i found a solution for that problem. You will lose some sd card files.

go to settings-storage-others (or other) and mark all files. Then delete them an go to downloadmode to reflash you firmware. Reboot and the problem is missing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s91066:
Hallo, I managed to update my phone. to 2.3.5 B512, Official ROM.

Now, I have 2 questions:

1st is how do I restore the previous behavior of pink screen? I want to unlock the boot loader, but I don't care at the moment to root the phone. Is it possible?

2nd question: Is it possible to do it from a Linux? I can use Windows, but I would prefer to use Linux if possible.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
I think B512 has unlocked bootloader. I fyou mean B522 you can flash this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457490

You can connect your phone to linux without any problem... ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s91066:
The bootloader IS locked. I cannot mount 3 of the partitions (which include the misc/wifi directory for example).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
No it isn't. On U8800 official 2.3 roms, huawei start to release bootloader locked versions after B518, and I have flashed and test all versions till latest B528.

So, something else happens.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s91066:
I insist. If ir is not locked, why I can't mount the system partitions from my Linux box? Unless the versions I hate do not have the correct behavior...

But B521 was downloaded yesterday from the official site.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s91066:
Nobody knows how to do it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Are you sure that you have B512? I'm trying to find a link on net and seems that doesn't exist. And if I remember well the first beta fro 2.3 released at 30 November and was the 517. I didn't keep all previous B522 releases though, so I'm not 100% sure.

And why you want the first beta anyway?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s91066:
The reason I wanted the 512 was that no-one answered me one simple question: Did B521 that Huawei uploaded to it's site as one step upgrade had all applications that 2.2.2 had? Like, for example, the Radio.

Anyway, I did upgrade with a link someone gave me, the results were not good, (WiFi had issues, I could not restore my previous data etc).

So, I upgraded again to (Official) 521. And the problems are the same: WiFi is not working (no internet access), and the 3 system partitions that are presented during the pink screen cannot be mounted from my Linux box.

So, yes, I consider the bootloader of B512 and B521 as locked. The question is the same. Is it possible to unlock it? If so, how can I do that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
There is a thread for flashing the unlocked bootoader from B518 on developing or general section(search for "get your pink screen back"). You need to first root the device and either direct replace from linux with dd command or flash the package from custom CWM recovery(need to first replace the recovery).

Can you upload or give me a link to B512? I want to test it because I was pretty sure that I've tested all 2.3 official roms.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s91066:
I have not used the B518 bootloader because the "Get you pink screen back" post specifically mentions that you must have a B522 and later version. I do not want to "brick" my phone.

Look, I am THAT close to restore an old (2 months old) dd backup over the Horse Absolute I have installed now. The only reason I have not done so, is because I am not on my PC and I do not have access to my Linux box with the backup...

Anyway, I will try to upload the B512 next week (is Dropbox OK?), I am not on my PC right now.

Then, we can see what the problem(?) is and how we can solve it.

Also, what do you mean as locked? What I mean as locked is:

Pink Screen is accessible Vol +, Col - + Power = Pink Screen.

Linux can and is mounting one and only one partition. The rest 3 are not recognized and I cannot mount them.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Locked means, that no partiton mounted on Pink Screen mode. This that you describe is new to me and mosty seems that you haven't a locked bootloader(as I said before), and something else goes wrong, or this specific version has a semi functional bootloader.

Also, I don't think that you will have problem to flash B518 bootloader, because the structure of filesystems etc are same for all 2.3 versions(of course if you try this on a froyo rom you will), but I suggest you to contact with blefish to be sure(he knows more for this stuf, and probable have done more tests).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s91066:
ΟK then, we will follow initial plan. I will upload the B512 I have next week, you will test it and see what the problem is on your phone.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] raheelanwar89:
So I was googling this stuff and I came across a pretty great media player, it is called BS PLAYER

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en

I also installed the CPU Support

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tLmJzcGxheWVyLmJzcGxheWVyYW4uY3B1LmFybXY3diJd

I transferred a 3.3GB .mkv file and it plays perfectly fine at 24 fps, smooth as a whistle, the video only lags when you have the GUI up, once it goes away the video goes back to being 4.8" of HD GOODNESS.

Enjoy. :]
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ghost77:
Stock player plays mkv perfectly fine. As for third party MX Player takes the cake.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] raheelanwar89:
It does however with a file that has a DTS audio track, the stock player does not decode the sound so you get no audio :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kswa1987:
Yeah the stock player has worked fine for me directly from the gallery. I was worried about loading .mkv files onto my phone but I figured I would just put them there and wait for VLC to hit a stable release but when I tried it on a whim it was butter smooth playback. (Note, the first time I tried this I was using the TuchMi 5.0 ROM with faux123's kernel overclocked to 1.8GHz)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acidtreat101:
Hey I'm considering the S3, I had a question if you wouldn't mind answering. I was wondering what resolutions you all were playing these files at, and also if you happen to know or could check if the .mkv files were encoded in H.264 or Hi-profile H.264. The reason I ask is than I have downloaded tons and tons of anime and other files and most of them are encoded in Hi-profile h.264 MKV. I would appreciate any help, thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dunkaskunk:
According to a review on "anandtech" (I can't post a link due to the 10 post rule), the camera actually encodes recorded video in 1080p H.264 - High Profile. I know it's not mkv but at least this means it should support the format.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ghost77:
1080p high profile is no problem, you can also play back lower res 720p @ 60FPS, assuming you running stock based rom, CM, AOSP won't have media codecs.

Also flash this kernel Sammy ICS version.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756776
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acidtreat101:
Yeah well .mkv is just a file container anyways, so as long as the video is encoded in that format, then that means it does have the support! Thanks for letting me know, I'll go find that review too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acidtreat101:
Sorry to keep bothering you guys, just to confirm 100%, I was wondering if you could download the "Serenity – 720p “On HD DVD” Trailer" from this site. This file is giving my Atrix problems, audio wont sync up and video is really choppy. So if it works flawlessly on the S3 then I know this will be the phone I get.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ghost77:
Dude are you serious? Two post up I told you gs3 can play 720p @ 60FPS and 1080p at up to 30fps no sweat.

That trailer is measly 1280×720 (720p), 23.967 FPS, and gs3 plays it without breathing.

Atrix is a gimp.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Definitely VLC Beta.

It's the only app out of half a dozen I've tried that'll play 1080p h/w accelerated WITH DTS audio & subs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pizz0wn3d:
I've been using vplayer to watch Doctor Who for the past week or so with no problems. And yes, they have the DTS sound track as well. No lag, no issues, all butter :D

Though methinks its only a free trial, so hopefully these other apps work just as well so I don't have to worry about having to pay for it.

Edit: VLC Beta really is awesome, plays mkv files with dts tracks perfectly. Thanks for the heads up!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acidtreat101:
Well the Atrix can play other encoded videos at 1080p and even h.264 content at at least 720p...it only has a problem with specifically hi-profile encoded h.264 content. The atrix website claimed it can decode h.264 content, and it can, but not the hi-profile setting. Anyways, sorry I don't mean to sound like I am doubting you, I am just overly cautious. Thanks for letting me know.

[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Many questions are asked on this and many new threads are opened just asking how to root. I hope this thread can consolidate all the information and questions to increase user experience. :D

Edit: A new method has been found here: http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/top...3.4/-4.5.621-(does-not-require-Milestone-SBF)

However, you can still use the method below.

Warning: The information in this thread is not mine and was not created by me.

​

To begin, .621 has been a tough nut to crack. The update was released and crippled every method of rooting to date. It was not until it was discovered that the .604 SBF file from the Milestone X could successfully be flashed, opening up a new possibility for root. However, flashing this SBF file posed an issue, as it overwrites the Droid X's radio files, crippling cellular and data connections. So a solution was came up with to use the SBF Flash tool to flash the file from a Linux environment.

After reading all this, you may be a bit worried, but don't be, it's rather easy! :cyclops:

COLOR="Red"]Warning: Performing this operation will wipe all data from your device, excluding data on the sdcard[/COLOR]

Requirements:

Droid X on .621

Blank CD / DVD

Patience

Step 1: Download the "1kds .604 live cd', which can be found in this thread:

http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html

It is labeled "1KDStaz_MX_4.5.604.iso".

The thread gives more information, as well as instructions for Mac users.

Note: This live CD contains the .604 SBF file as well as the ZergRush rooting method that will root your newly flashed .604 device.

Step 2: Burn the iso image to a blank CD.

Note: Windows 7 has a built-in image burning utility; however, you can use the utility of your choice.

Step 3: After the image is finished burning to the disc, insert the disc into your CD/DVD drive.

Step 4: Reboot your computer. Most computers will automatically boot from the disc, but on some you may have to press a button (F2 / F12) when your computer is at the BIOS screen, so it will boot from the disc.

Step 5: Go ahead and place your Droid X into bootloader mode by holding both volume buttons down and tapping the power button.

Step 6: Connect the device to the computer, the device should show "USB Connected. Ready To Program". Select option 1 to SBF the device to .604.

Step 7: Once the device is finished SBFing, shut the device off and enter recovery mode by holding Power and Home and pressing both volume buttons. Navigate down to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and use the power button to select. Reboot the device.

Step 8: When the device is booted, reconnect it to the computer, and select option 2 to root. It should only take a few minutes, and you have successfully rooted your .621 device!

Note: This thread isn't complete. I will be updating it later with a list of roms that can be flashed, as well as images to go with the steps, and adding a credits section to the bottom of the post.

Hit that thanks button if I helped you! :D

[Droid X General] newmanx4:
If you really want to do that you'll need to SBF .621 using RSD Lite. If that's what you tried and bootlooped, it usually requires a factory reset after the SBF for the phone to boot.

If you flashed the .621 kernel back to the phone after going the Milestone route there's really nothing to gain by reverting and then using the direct root method.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
I was wondering if there is any way to increase the volume on the 7.7. I am using Voodoo Louder already, even though it helps in increasing volume @+9.0 dB while using headphones I would like to increase it more. I have a few digital movies that I converted over to wmv and selected 5.1 sound but they seem to be low both on headphones and especially the tab speakers. Are there any settings I can change or apps I can use?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
If you convert the movies yourself you could convert them with higher dB.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Will look at freemake and see if I have that option, thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Manipur:
You can try Volume + :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&feature=search_result

or

Volume Boost: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiboweb.android.desiresoundunlock&feature=search_result

I am currently using Voume +. Pretty effective with headphones on. You can boost the volume by about 30%. I wouldn't recommend boosting the volume when headphones are not used cos it might damage the device's speakers.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Volume+ seems to help a bit, better than beffore. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
Just noticed that you did select 5.1 sound. If you convert videos for use with stereo headset NEVER select 5.1 sound as it reduces volume ALOT. Select a good stereo setting without any effects or enhancers. That will give you much better sound ;)

Assuming you have a good quality source to work with. If your source has bad sound quality or low volume already, there is not much you can do about it without ruining the sound's quality.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
All my sources where from ripped digital copies that came with purchased BD that I own. Thank you for the tip. Any way to reconvert the videos and select the another sound setting or is it too late?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kanej2006:
I use Equalizer, the BEST app to increase volume...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Ok i just wanted to explain what i have done to convert the movies and hopefully someone can help me figure out why i am having volume issues,

As we all know when you buy a BD most of the time it comes with a digital copy of the movie, in order to access the digital copy you need to use the code that comes with it. You get two options on what format you what the movies in, WMV or iTunes, so i chose WMV so i can view them on my tab. After selecting WMV the movies started to download, i guess they are stored somewhere on the movie studios website. Now i did this for 6 out of the 9 movies i have on my tab and when playing them back they are really low. (JUST TO BE CLEAR THESE WHERE NOT CONVERTED USING ANY SOFTWARE, THEY WHERE DOWNLOADED IN WMV AFTER ENTERING THE ACCESS CODE)

I converted 3 other movies from standard DVD's using freemake software. I selected to convert these to WMV and i was able to choose what audio formart to chose, so i decided to choose 5.1, but when playing them back i have the same issue, i have low volume.

Decided to use freemake to determine what audio formart the 6 digital copies are in and they are all in stereo.

I have since installed Volume+ to help with the issue.

In conclusion, 6 are in stereo and 3 on 5.1 but they are all low in volume when playing them back. So i am wondering if anyone knows why all of them have this issue? Any suggestions for future converts? Is this an issue with the tab?

P.S. I have noticed there is no issue when playing videos from youtube. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Anyone?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hammer of thor:
i use apps to boost the sound but frankly they destroy the voice quality... i prefer my fiio e11 portable little amp to do the volume boost... and that thing can give you sufficient volume on even 350ohm headphones... as it is pretty cheap i recommend buying that rather than destroying the sound quality of the already sub par audio chip...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
If you just want to change the clock colour, you could make a new style specifically for it.

Yes, you do. Your app won't work without it. Did it fully decompile?

tha above code wont work??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cholopo:
Will change color as the status bar? I would like to help me,

I'm using CM9, thanks.

Now color is black
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
Okay, I'm finally in a position to answer this properly.

First, you need to decompile SystemUI.apk. The best tool I can recommend for this is Tickle My Android. Partially because I made it, but also because I know it works for our devices. I'm always messing around with my SystemUI.apk and I never have any issues.

Next, edit res\layout\status_bar.xml

This is the code that describes how your status bar is put together and in there will a line of code similar to:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="left|center" android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:singleLine="true" />

Exactly what you'll have, I don't know, but there'll be mention of the clock somewhere.

Now you just need to add one extra parameter, 'android:textColor':

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="left|center" android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:singleLine="true" android:textColor="#ff33b5e5"/>

Here, the 'ff33b5e5' is an ARGB code for a particular colour and transparency. Work out what the code for the colour you want is and change the line to fit.

Now, recompile the apk, get the compression and signing right and put it back on your phone.

Simple.

I have mentioned making a new style to do this. This is possible and will help if you're changing the colour of a lot of strings of text, but it's not needed just to this one thing.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

Oh, it will. But it will change the colour of everything that uses that style. Nothing wrong with that at all..if that's what you want to do.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Do you want the clock the same colour as the status bar? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] streetu:
In which program you do it ? Because i have it:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
I just use Notepad. Sometimes Notepad++ if I'm working on xml that's very busy.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] streetu:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
