Why does my native msg app keeps counting more more chars that I already wrote. Everytime i enter punctuation. Does anyone knows how to deal with this problem?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lilude56214:
is there any special symbol ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adamantace:
nop, not in my language it there isn't, its Portuguese, i'm talking about ~ and other chars
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Those are considered special symbols...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adamantace:
so, can you explain to me, why in GB this issue didn't exist?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
AFAIK, this is a bug with the ICS FW.

1.58 firmware is out. That should fix it. I will try to see how the rooting works on it, so I can try it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adamantace:
i guessed that much, even so, thank you for the reply, someone might have found a fix for it, so I thought of asking about it..

I rooted my phone yesterday using the toolkit from the development forums. I created a backup of my stock ROM before I flashed anything new but apparently I messed that up b.c trying to restore that, the toolkit told me I have no restore files. Anyway I flashed the unofficial cm10 build and I am having some radio issues, so I wanted to go back to stock until a more official build comes out. I have tried doing that through the toolkit a few times but it continues to fail.

Looking around online I found the stock ROM from Google and dl'd it (mysid-imm76k-factory-98d21321.tar is the file) I am pretty noobish when it comes to flashing stuff and i have never seen a .tar but I found that Odin can flash .tar. so my plan was to get the odin app flash that file and hope I did everything okay.

A couple questions: is this going to work okay? Do I need to flash kernels or radios or anything else or is this a complete return to stock? Will this keep me rooted and unlocked?

weird on maclaws jb version there is airplane mode and screenshot mode etc but i am using your adrenaline rom nice and smooth btw do you have the radio app for me ( dont have contract)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] erikcas:
Could it be, that screenshot & airplane mode from power-button is CM style?

Airplanemode is available in settings --> wireless --> more

For screenshot, search market for app.

Radio is not standard in Liquid, try if you can extract and install it from CM.

Changed download link in OP. Server I was on was a very bad VPS. Had to restart mysqld engine 4 times an hour. It is now stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] warface123:
so you removed some options

btw cab you please add airplane (next week to abu dhabi) so dont gonna call that much or maybe make a patch
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] erikcas:
No! I did NOT remove options.

This is NOT CM but it is LiquidSmoothRom. See liquidsmoothroms.com

There are other devs then CM team. So they will have other ideas what to put in a rom and what not.

I compiled the whole thing from source. All packages and apps are liquidsmooth. Just took some CM stuff for hardware support on our phone, all of the rest is 1 on 1 Liquid. No removing has taken place.

I wrote in previous post where you can find airplane mode. In settings, under wireless & networks, there is a "more" options (just below bluetooth).

Tick on it and a menu item will open showing you airplane

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skeevald:
So I rooted my phone and flashed to the latest Synergy ROM but now my phone doesn't vibrate when I get text messages. Only when I get a phone call. Is this a known issue with the ROM or is there a fix for this? I've enabled vibration and all of that but still nothing. This also happened with my EVO when I flashed to Cyanogenmod 9. Are there any ROMs out there that do vibrate for text messages?

In your messaging app hit your setting scroll down to notification setting and go to vibrate and set it to what you like!

[General Topics] FromiOSToAndroid:
This thread is dedicated to people who have made the awesome decision of switching to the Android OS, whether it be from iOS, WP7 or any other phone.

I'll start:

About 3 months ago, my friend was playing around with his SGS 2 and I would laugh and make jokss on how my iPhone 4S used to be better. Then, I was just checking his phone out one day, and found out that you can change the whole UI to a differsnt one using apps like Apsx, Nova and others. RIGHT from then, I got REALLY REALLY REALLY impressed and always wanted a Galaxy S2. My 4S seemed like a useless phone.

2 months later, here I am, typing this thread on my Galaxy S2 that I ever wanted so dearly, and currently downloading a Jelly Bean ROM.

Android, Galaxy S2-- Im Glad You Came.

[General Topics] DD-Ripper:
It began in the very January 2011, when I decided to get a phone for the very first time, It was very hard to persuading my parents as they believed a phone for a 14year old is useless....but finally victory was mine :D... I confirmed myself that im going to buy a Nokia model as I heard they are good and support for games (that was my main objective: For Gaming), Right on the day when the purchase was about to be made, I happened to stumble upon a video on Youtube about a Samsung Galaxy 5 Gt-i5500 Unboxing Review (I know its a pretty tiny phone and slow, but at that time I knew nothing about Android or phones) and I was dumstruck at the Speed, Games and the OS.

So I decided to give it a try. It was worth it....I then started coming to know about Android, its rivals, the best phones etc. And that very month, I promised myself that the phones in the future which Im going to buy will only be Android Smartphones.

Now this January 2012, not even a year after purchasing Galaxy 5, I purchased again a Samsung Galaxy S2 (It was tough convincing my parents though, no wonder how many sacrifices I made for it...but as always Victory Was Mine !! :D)

So its just 6 months, it will be with me until Galaxy S4 launches..! :D :p

Your phone is the same with mobiistar s01 and karbonn a7, maybe the developer of symphony keep the original cpu clock(1ghz) and s01, a7 was underclocked to 800 to save battery. Now if you want to root.you must install fastboot driver and install cwm recovery for a7 first.then backup your current rom... when done, install rooted rom for s01 and you will have root, but your cpu will be underclocked to 800ghz.

And can you send me the link to download your backup rom??? I need the 1ghz kernel to mod my rom... thanks.

(If install drivers on w7 pc fail, try to use another pc with wXP-32bit).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jason_cheng:
These phones aren't - or shouldn't be - that difficult to root. I have just rooted an Xplorer W10 from W7 x64 (and reproduced on Linux), and it went without a hitch. Just a number of gotchas to watch out for (from here on I actually refer to W10 and all other models since they are of the same series):

1. Uninstall any kind of driver you have installed. Symphony does not provide drivers for their Android phones, as far as the website is concerned. You get what you pay for, and this is a relatively remote brand, so don't expect much. In fact, don't expect anything at all.

2. Download and run SuperOneClick. Click on the other tab and choose to check for drivers. You should be prompted to install a driver. Do it.

3. Unplug and replug the USB. Go into the ADB folder and shift-right-click, open a command prompt here. Type 'adb devices' and press ENTER. There should be at least one device listed (in the form of an alphanumeric serial).

4. If there is no device listed by ADB, use Linux to root. There is no need to install any driver on Linux, and SuperOneClick is multi-platform. You will need the mono package on Linux instead of .NET.

5. The phone is actually partially rooted. Whether by intention or by mistake, I am not sure. SuperOneClick will warn of this, so just choose to continue with the rooting process.

6. You should now be rooted.

Background:

There is no exotic bootloader locking going on with these phones, as far as I can tell. The manufacturers/vendors are really just trying to capture a certain segment of the market, so I doubt they'd go through extensive efforts to lock you in. Just find any exploit (right now psneuter and zergRush), put them on the phone along with the su and busybox binaries, execute the exploit, and you'll be good to go with the Superuser app.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahmed.zunaid:
ok ...

I've used SuperOneClick before. In both 7 and XP machines. It gets stuck at "step 7".

Ok i'll try to do it again following your steps. I'll upload the screenshots

thanks for helping btw ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ahmed.zunaid:
No use ....

Nope. It didn't work. Hangs at step 7 (Pic Attached). tried on XP and 7.

Drivers install this time. and cmd>adb shell shows attached device, just like you said. but nothing happens after step7: waiting for device :(

I guess this process in not for me :(

can you provide link or tell me the process on how to add cwm recovery and backup the stock rom from the phone?

So that I can upload for you guys to check it out.

Note: my phone goes to recovery mode using the same method described in Karbonn Mobile A5 & A7 (Android 2.3.6

I checked.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jason_cheng:
Unfortunately, CWMR needs to be built for your hardware in order for it to work. I think CWMR for the Karbonn should work without modification if it has the same hardware, so see if you can find info on getting CWMR onto the Karbonn. If the bootloader is really locked then you'll have to find some way to unlock first.

Backup the recovery partition [1] before doing anything, although I cannot verify whether it's the same partition across all phones. If anything goes wrong you will lose the ability to boot into recovery mode, but your phone will work. With a backup of the partition you can just bit-copy and rewrite the partition exactly as it was.

Because you already have the drivers installed using SuperOneClick, you may like to see now if Unlock Root works [2]. Else, go ahead and root the phone using the manual method. First, run the exploit [3]. Tell us how this goes, then we'll continue (basically upload the su binary and optionally the Superuser app). Otherwise we need to see what other exploit works.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jason_cheng:
Could you please also report back with some files after running the following commands (you will find them prefixed with w25_ from the folder you're running ADB):

adb shell cat /proc/cpuinfo > w25_cpuinfo.txt
adb shell getprop > w25_propinfo.txt

Thanks. I suspect the W25 does not have the Karbonn A7 hardware. If the Karbonn is a rebranded Mobilstar S01 then it has a Qualcomm ARMv7 processor. The Symphony phones (hypothesis based on the only one phone I have, that is a W10) are rebranded Tinno [1] phones, with MediaTek processors.

My W10 is ARMv6, so it depends on whether the W25 has an SoC based on the latest MTK proc (which is ARMv7) [2]. That is highly unlikely because it (the proc) would be too powerful for the model number. As you may or may not know, binaries are not portable across ARM cores.

The phones do indeed have the same chassis and general specs, but any attempt to port and/or copy files/ROMs must be taken with great care and precautionary steps. There is, of course, no rule that each model must depend on the same manufacturer, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jason_cheng:
Well, popular devices have more people tinkering with them and hence more results :) I suppose for budget devices we are on our own. After all, I believe these phones are pretty value for money and the effort to tinker is worth it.

Anyway, my suspicions are wrong. Symphony (or whoever they rely on) hand-pick reference models and do not depend on any particular vendor. The W25 is ARMv7 from Qualcomm, rebranded from K-Touch W650 [1] with modest hardware upgrades, almost similar to the Mobiistar and Karbonn:

Mobiistar Touch S01: Qualcomm MSM7225A

Symphony Xplorer W25: MSM7627A or MSM7625a (but because of 1GHz clock more likely the former) [2]

Either way the differences are minor I presume. Clock speeds are different and on-chip options vary slightly depending on what the manufacturer opts for. So with a bit of work someone could port existing recoveries and ROMs from similar devices. See [2] for a list of such devices in the respective row for MSM7627A.

You can worry about this when you come to recovery. The first hurdle to get through is root, so have you proceeded to run an exploit?

Also, if you haven't done anything, I would suggest doing a factory reset and then backing up the entire ROM simply with the cat command [3]. The homemade unsigned backup may come in handy later as there is no official ROM update.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jason_cheng:
Sorry, yes, that needs root. You must do everything you can to get root on the phone, because whatever you do you must have a backup. For CWMR, you must back up your recovery partition, else if your CWMR image does not happen to be compatible with your device you risk losing recovery mode.

For MTK devices like the W10, there is a method for non-rooted phones to carry out the backup [1], but I'm not sure about Qualcomm. So in the end, root is unavoidable.

1. Just get zergrush binary from the SuperOneClick archive (it is in another folder along with psneuter).

2. Copy the zergrush binary to the ADB folder.

3. Open a cmd window in the ADB folder just as you would normally type adb commands, then:

adb push zergrush /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergrush
adb shell /data/local/tmp/zergrush

Report back with the output.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jason_cheng:
Oh boy, it looks like the vulnerability has been patched in your version of Android. Either that, or there is some hardware peculiarity (buffer size being reported wrongly - that's also when this zergrush error comes up) which I do not yet know how to deal with. There is another exploit called 'tacoroot' but I do not prefer going that route as it's not as foolproof/universal as zergrush.

Update zips need to be signed. When your recovery tries to verify the signature it fails, as it is not the signature of the manufacturer that made the update.zip.

Have you guys tried ALL the rooting methods posted in the A5/A7 thread? In the meantime I'll take a look at how Qualcomm ROMs can be dumped.

edit: I'm pretty sure your device has a fastboot mode. If so, you can "hot" boot any cwmr image without flashing it using "fastboot boot theimage.img" as far as I can recall. Having fastboot is a blessing (which the MTK devices do not have) so follow the first few pages of the A7 thread.
