We write this thread to show you uSound Web. It's the same functionality as see uSound for Android but to be used from your favourite browser.

uSound is an application developed by Lowlevel Studios that lets you play and download, through streaming and totally FREE, a wide variety of songs available at the updated MP3 database.

It has many features and we will keep its developing to improve it.

You can find more information here.

Is this legal or illegal?
[General Topics] Harshen:
It's completely legal
[General Topics] Waninkoko:
uSound Web is simply a web application that uses an online service to get the MP3 songs. This service is very 'popular' (but you'll have to figure it out if you want to know!).

We don't store any links, files, or anything else, we just provide an interface for a service.

I decided to try a few custom roms and really like Icecoldsandwich so far.

But I miss the sms app and the combined dialer/contacts app from stock Sense 3.6.

The ones in Sense 4.0 (Nik's Project X) seem like a step back (dialer/contacts is 2 apps again, rather than 1).

Is it just a question of finding a rom with the apps I like, extracting the apk files, and sideloading them to Icecold?

What are the apk names for Sense sms and dialer/contacts apps?

Can I replace the stock apps in Icecold with the Sense ones?
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Not possible

Sense apps rely on some other sense apps and framework in order to function

You cannot have some sense apps on an aosp based rom

BUT you can try 3rd party apps for that, like Go Contacts and Go SMS
[HTC Incredible S] esbenm:
What a shame. But I will just have to try out a lot of different roms then :)

Or try the Go apps or even go back to Handcent.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
Try the cootek dialer+contacts app from playstore. Not as good as sense but that's what I use in CM7.

[HTC Sensation XL] justin101:
Hello, I am wondering on how to trick my device into thinking it is a Nexus S, so I will be able to install incompatible apps. Even though they can work. I have tried to do the build.prop thing however it does not work and I have successfully rooted.

I would like some help please
[HTC Sensation XL] stona175:
change in build.prop

ro.product.model=HTC One V

ro.product.model=ONE V

for nexus S
[HTC Sensation XL] justin101:
I did what you ask me to do, however I try to find a game in the play store, however I cannot not see it. Was there something else I was suppose to do? Also when I went on a browser on my pc, I went to the google play store and It still says the game is still not compatible with my device.
[HTC Sensation XL] stona175:
go to setting/phone identification

If there is model what your chose.

1. make synchronize with google account.

If this not help make point 2.

2.

Clear android market. Go to system/app

Market - clear everything.

Log again to market with your gmail account and everything should be ok.
[HTC Sensation XL] justin101:
Ok, I went to the setting/phone identification part and it says Model number HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315b, Im not sure by what you mean Make synchronize with google account.

I went to do step 2, I cleared google play store and I am still not able to see games I want.
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Which games do you wanna play ?
[HTC Sensation XL] justin101:
The games I wanna play, that I know work are Dead Space, Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus and I was going to try other random Incompatible games, to see if they work.
[HTC Sensation XL] justin101:
There are apps on the app store that say that they are incompatible, however they do actually work.
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Dead space is working just fine on XL. I am playing now the Black Pegasus but the apk is modified. Coz the original is not compatible, We can also play Batman, Modern Combat 3 etc. :cool:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
As you know, we were unable to extract ext4 from Sony ICS firmwares. I took a look at the problem and found out that Sony changed the way sin are generated.

I wrote a quick and (very) dirty command line tool to extract sin properly, it's now possible to extract a working system.ext4.

Usage:

sin2raw <sin file> <output file> [size[K|M|G]]

Usage examples:

sin2raw system.sin system.ext4

sin2raw userdata.sin userdata.ext4

sin2raw kernel.sin kernel.elf

Note:

For linux, there are two versions, sin2raw for 64 bits and sin2raw32 for 32 bits. I strongly recommend using the 64 bits one, 2 gig+ ext4 files are safer with this one.

Release history:

v 0.2:

new: partition size is extracted to generate file, specifying file size is not needed anymore.

new: loader.sin is detected and handled properly.

fix: block header sizes are int, not short.

fix: win32 compatibility.

fix: various size fixes for 32 bits cpu.

code cleanup.

v 0.1 :

Initial release

FAQ

*obsolete* What is size param / 1G ?

When extracting ext4, you have to specify the original partition size on phone. For instance, on xperia S, system is exactly 1 gig, so you have to add 1G. Userdata partition is almost 2 gig, you have to add 2097120K instead of 1G

(Ugly) source code is there, pre-built binaries for windows and linux are attached to this post.

More details to come soon on sin format in second post.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Background:

So, here is the deal: basically, new ext4 sins are using something that was in sin format but that we didn't dig into.

Sin is like this:

-----------------------
| Sin Header (15 bytes) |
-----------------------
| Block descriptors |
-----------------------
| File Header |
-----------------------
| File Data |
-----------------------

Block descriptors are like this:

---------------
| target_offset |
---------------
| block_count |
---------------
| block_length |
---------------
| payload_size |
---------------
| payload |
---------------

I presume payload is block signature. A block descriptor is working like this: takes "block_length" bytes from sin "data" and put them at "target_offset" on target device/file.

Up to ics, all block target_offsets were contiguous and that's why sin2img was working. With ics, they are not, explaining why sin2img doesn't work anymore.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] matchung:

but with only this option 1G added.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DearTanker:
:good:Great job! Thank you very much, i just got extract problem on new *.sin files.

Let me test this tool,I will give some feedback soon.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

It works now,:laugh:,but what is "1G" means?

It seems output file system.ext4 size is 1G?

sorry for my pool english.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

can extract userdata.sin too,but when extract userdata.sin it will run out space of disk..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] john9:
Thanks for the info..I will try it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
1G is output file size, 1 gigabyte, you can also use 1024M.

When extracting ext4, you have to specify the phone system partition size if you want to be able to mount it. System partition is 1 gig on Xperia S, I don't know about the other xperias.

If you extract other files like kernel.sin, you don't need to specify output file size.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
userdata.sin is almost 2GB, use this:

sin2raw userdata.sin userdata.ext4 2097120K

it will mount properly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] matchung:
thx, it works on userdata now :)

but why 2G does not work?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Because partition is not exactly 2gig, more 1.999 :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sharaz22:
Why is the system folder not available after converting sin to ext4?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Sharaz22, what do you mean by not available after converting ? This tool extracts a .ext4 image file, you have to mount it to see files. For instance:

mkdir system

sudo mount -o loop -t ext4 system.ext4 system

On windows, I don't know, I know there are some options but never looked at them.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sharaz22:
I have mounted the system.ext4 image but there is no system folder in there all the other folder are available e.g. apps xbin etc.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Ah, got it. Well, system.ext4 is the system folder content. In android, system directory is coming from a partition that is mounted to an empty system directory. This is exactly this partition you have there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tot_anusak:
Just want to confirm that this tool works fine. I can create pre-rooted image much easier. Don't need to create it from Nandroid anymore. Thanks :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Thanks for the feedback!

I'm working on a new release, 0.1 has issues with kernel extracts and hopefully I should be able to compute ext4 size automatically.

And a special thanks to Androxyde for his help! ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] c3ma138:
Thanks,

It's work fine!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
New version 0.2 is out, extract is much better now (previous one has few bugs) and size parameter is not needed anymore.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Sin2raw is a command line tool. You have to use it in a cmd.exe window. Or you could use last FlashTool as Androxyde added the same algorithm in his tool.

Hi, I've tried to unpack userdata.ext4 with ext4_unpacker.

Is it possible that a 2G partition only have 7 files for 1.4 MB ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
you have not to "unpack" an ext4 image file, it's not an archive

you have to mount it

on windows you can try DiskInternals Linux Reader

on linux it'all built.-in

btw this tool is included into flashtool too
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Yes, that's normal... 2G is the full size of the partition, and is supposed to be empty at first boot. Flashing userdata is nearly equivalent to wipe data. Sony has some files there, I'm not sure how many are really used.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkon11:
Google for ext4_unpacker.exe
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] benbeel:
Created my ext4 file as follows:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Try removing 1G, it's not needed anymore. This is Xperia S system.sin ?

Hi . my HTC EVO 3d is reboting all time when i try call anybody and also when i answer the phone. Green button = rebot ;/

i use this room (14/08/12) mwakious3Drom® (M3DR®) V.12/12.1 ICS 4.0.3 sense 3.6 k:yoda v2.1

before instal update to v15 all was ok . now is crashing with this update and without also .

anybody have any idea what can i do ??

all instalation was sucessfully. no errors

im going try instal new update . maybe it will help me .

all update and room instaled sucessfull . i go tommorow wash my phone in service .

maybe it help ..
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Are you fully wiping before flashing? Have you tried another rom?

I highly doubt washing your phone will help. Cell phones don't like water after all.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bandee2:
Did you follow pacattacks install instructions fully? Cannot be sure if you are upgrading from a different rom or a previous mwakious3Drom. If you came from a different rom ensure you have flashed the new radio first. If you did come from a previous version of mwakious the install instructions are slightly different. Did you put the base v12 on to your root folder along with the "update.zip"? Note that you first install the base v12 zip from SD card using recovery BUT you do an update for the v12.1 "update.zip" from recovery (not an install from SD card).

I would suggest you do a full install once again (assuming you have the correct radio) of v12 and then the v12.1 patch.
[HTC EVO 3D] mumu22:
asd

i have all corect ratio what hes requesting and i did all like said . pacattacks in instruction. but nothing help. i tryed instal this 3 times and all the time i have same problem with reboting. when i try call or answer . even without simcard inside.

when i was in Holland all was fine with older mwakious3Droom v11 . when i tryed call or answer.

but problem was when change network from gsm to 3d was reboting .

now im in Poland and not rebot when change network. but rebot when i call ;/

but i guess is not problem with room.

maybe it happen cuz i have a small water under my battery and maybe some inside . it happen 4 weeks ago . phone not restarted and not go off when water was inside.

i put phone for 2 days on sunshine withoit battery inside .

It may be water but you could also try using one of the other kernels as a patch. They are on mwakious3drom page as well.

First off let me start by saying this is the only real issue ive had with my TF700, and despite it would still recommend it 100%!

My problem is that i get reboots when copying large files to/from the infinity, and when trying to use AppBackup/Titanium Backup.

I dont know whats causing it, im on the newest WW firmware. I want to do a complete system restore, and try again, but halfway through any backup i get a reboot...

Any help would be great! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
There are many posts about this already...

Basically, there are issues with NTFS-formatted SD/MicroSD cards.

Try using "exFAT" (if you need files over 4GB) or FAT32 if you don't need large files. FAT32 is the least problematic.

Hopefully, Asus will fix this in the next update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
ok thanks, i thought i had formatted to exfat already, turns out that was an old card.

could this also be the cause of video playback issues from the sdcard, like stuttering and failures altogether?

TOUCH PROFIL Tutorial

Here's a simple way to create TOUCH PROFIL for Ur game do u want :good:

I hope you can understand my writing this :D

-> take ur game screenshot for define whrere the touch button are. (i.e. Inotia 4 for this tutorial)

-> create a new touch profile using the Sixaxis Controller app, Press Menu > Preferences > Touch Emulation > Edit Touch Profiles

-> Double tap anywhere then will show popup the touch profile menu.

-> Tap 'Change Background then select the screenshot where it save. rotate the background if that wrong.

-> first i begin to make analog touch. Press Menu > Add Button then locate the 'Analog_Left' here.

U can make analog buttons bigger to cover more touch area. tap the analog button that u created once, then drag the 'Green' ring that popsup around it outward.

To bring up a buttons properties (like sensitivity), tap on the button then Press Menu, see 'Button Properties'.

-> once completed, follow this way to make the other buttons. (this's my personal reference).

-> make sure U save Ur touch profile after U make any changes. To save the profile, double tap anywhere and then tap 'Save Profile'. i name it the same as the game for(i.e. inotia). FINISH !!! :)

-> back to the main screen of Sixaxis. Before U play game, pair the PS3 gamepad to Ur phone. then U should see 'Active Touch Profile'. Tap the box 'None' and change it to the touch profile U just created (inotia)

LETS PLAY....... :cool:

-> U can create a touch profile for many any game that uses touch screen controls. just take screenshot on Ur game do U want create, then follow my tutorial above :D

-> The touch profiles that U create and save are located at '/sdcard/data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/profiles/'. touch profiles should have extension *.map (i.e. inotia.map)
