WHY U NO READ RULES :(:eek: lol

sorry mod but yeah it should be in q&a.

and to fix logprovider.apk issue. redownload whatever rom you're using and open in winrar and go to system/app and find app name logprovider.apk and drag it on your sd card and then use root explorer if u got then move it into system/app and reboot into cwm and fix permissions there and done. that should resolve the fc like crazy issue

Hi guys!

First time poster, long time lurker.

I've been "customizing" (if you can call it that) ROMs to a slight degree through removing and adding APKs to the system/app directory (specifically with CM7).

I am curious though, is it possible to thoroughly customize with the apps you want, the settings pre-configured for select apps, homescreen all set up, etc without using nandroid?

I'd like to be able to set everything up and make a flashable zip that I can flash to several phones.

Would this mean building a ROM from scratch?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
I think it is possible but it would be a freaking huge file.

[HTC Inspire 4G] thejameslang:
I don't know much about android development... but from what I can gather it looks like APKs generate databases to store their settings... and I can't just move a database into a ROM. But who knows! :silly:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Dsixda kitchen is the simplest possible way to turn a Rom into a working folder in which you can add stuff and then create a flashable zip. If you have knowledge of linux its a breeze. If not it's a slight learning curve.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jz687:
Hi,

I've had a stock GN from Bell (on yakjuux) since January.

I recently switched to takju 4.1.1 (not on my own, since I'm a complete noob) and when I started using the phone again, realized that the "Me" contact in the "People" app wasn't the same as it used to be. Instead, the contact with all the info/the picture that used to be "me" before the flash, is now a separate contact.

Just wondering if there's any way to copy all the info from the old "me" and put it in the new one?

I'm confused as to why this happened at all, since on the old phone, it added all that info on it's own.

Thanks for the help!!
[Android] vido.ardes:
I hope this is just me being stupid. I wanted to start using the linaro toolchain to build my kernel, having fixed the errors that appeared it now only produces an 'Image' file instead of a 'zImage'.

Please tell me I am just being thick! I cannot work out for the life of me what to do to fix it.

Any help anyone can give any advice will be greatly appreciated, my git hub is here: https://github.com/vidoardes/XS-ICS

BTW: These errors don't occur if I use the standard android 4.4.3 toochain.
[Xperia Play General] haverdaden:
Just got my play back frow warranty service. It had a borken or flex cable to the to screen so i could not see anything. Ofc i had a rom installed. So i went back to stock and took a relock bootloader ftf. Then i sent it away and woop got it back fixed :) So unlocking bootloader is fine if you relock it and then send it to warranty for hardware fixing. I'm not sure that this will work for all but they had also flashed the real original firmware before they sent it to me.

Have you guys been this lucky or is it common that they ignore bootloader history status when they fix hardware problems ?
[Xperia Play General] wuby:
If you go stock than you'll get it fixed.
[Xperia Play General] albanezi:
I have just sent my Xplay for the same issues and have relocked my bootloader, I did not include the receipt of the phone or the charger however. I will let you know if my phone gets fixed.

[Xperia Play General] wuby:

Of course, if you relock it then they cant know.
[Xperia Play General] sfex3best:
I had the same flex problem so I sent it to sony with a relocked bootloader.

repair after re-lock

My r800i's touch screen packed up after flashing it was ok for a while then it died, i tried other roms and kernels but no luck, probably incompatible software im not sure.

Anyway i flashed a stock rom but forgot to re-lock the bootloader then sent my phone to vodafone for repair, 2 weeks later i got it back with a letter stating that they could not repair it due to some tampering to the software.

I have since re-locked my bootloader with the link from this thread and then repaired my phone via seus,

I still have no response form my touchscreen though.:crying:

I have now sent my phone to sony for repair directly and I am just keeping my fingers crossed that vodafone did not contact sony about my fault when i previously sent it to them.

I will post the results in this thread

[HTC 7 Pro] bloosik:
Hello,

I need help. In my HTC 7 Pro keyboard backlight is lighting all time. Also when screen isn't lighting and when keyboard is closed. How it works in your devices?
[HTC 7 Pro] bloosik:
I answer the question to myself, because I solved this problem and if anyone would have the same one, maybe it will help.

It was hardware problem. What I did? I stick off black tape in up part of keyboard and it helped. I've no idea why, but it helped :)
[HTC 7 Pro] fashion_m:
What do you mean "keyboard backlight is lighting all time" ? The hardware QWERTY keyboard of HTC 7 Pro lights only under these scenarios:

- when you tap on a text field and when you enter text. If you stop pressing keys it dims in 4-5 seconds.

- when the display is lit up and you open the sliding mechanism.

I have some questions:

1. Did this problem appeared immediately after you purchased the phone or some time later? Was it new or used?

2. Can you please post a picture of the duct tape that solved the problem?

3. Do you experience the problem described in post #10 in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216057
[HTC 7 Pro] bloosik:
Sorry I'm reply so late. And sorry for my english :)

Now my phone works in right way. I mean:

And my answers for your questions:

1. I bought used phone with this problem.

2. I can't take a picture of the tape, because i threw it out. But you can easy find it. Under it there are LEDs backlighting keyboard. In construction of the tape is somthing like metal net, so maybe it caused the problem. I don't know, I have no knowledge in this field.

3. I have no this problem, so unfortunelly i can't help you. I guess you should disassembly screen-part of the phone and check what's wrong. If you don't solved it yet :)

Can we get LTE to work for wifi hotspot? I'm confused from the threads I've read... are we stuck with HSPA+ legacy APN's if we want to get around the dreaded "611" pop-up message block? I know on my Aria we had to root and then add the legacy cingular APN info, but this is LTE. I'd like to have LTE available to serve as a hot spot. Can someone clear up the confusion on this?
[Nexus 7 General] IceColdKila:
So I have posted a few times and returned 2 Nexus 7's for slightly off color tones purplish blue link colors on Google and innacurate whites as well as some trailing or blur. No screen lift.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpqfMlWup18 I can't stand the yellowish tint from the one on the left.

Well yesterday I was at Staples with $15 gift card from trading in my used inks and I see a UPS delivery guy come through, I know from Past expereinces UPS delivers the Nexus 7 to Staples.

And So I asked if they had any new Nexus 7's at first they said no but then I pointed out the UPS delivery and a new shipment had just come in of 8GB models.

so for $199-$15= $184 I got my new Nexus 7, I would have not bought it but when I looked underneath and saw the new C80K CSSN I had to go for it.

I get home and I unbox Perfect no dead pixels, Or light bleed, today I compared it to an iPad 3 at the Apple store, and the colors are exact spot on. No off tones greens are not pale or off tint, white is white not blueish. Of course the iPad 3 colors are slightly Vibrant, but you can only tell if side by side. What I wanted was color accuracy, and previous Nexus 7's lacked that. Not sure if this is a new Hynix IPS LCD or the new ones made by SHARP, It has to be IPS by SHARP, because there is no ghosting and even touch response is faster.

Regardless, Google must have really got on ASUS's back to inspect more units per each thousand shipped. Or they sourced some better components.
[Nexus 7 General] predation:
thanks for the video killa.

i'm still hesitant to pick up a C80 model as some people are reporting defects with those.

maybe should wait for C90.

lol
[Nexus 7 General] SPreston2001:
I justed picked another one up today too and its a c80 but it still has slight screen lift on the left side. I personally dont believe this very minimal lift is a flaw. You can only tell its slightly lifted when you do the horizon test so all is good in my book!
[Nexus 7 General] noobandriod:
In regards to N7 screen vibrancy I think it's possible for someone to release a contrast control app. I was playing with a photo in a photo edit app and was using the contrast tweak and it is was possible achieve more contrast and made colors pop-out more. Someone serious needs to make an app.
[Nexus 7 General] RusherDude:
My C80 is flawless.
[Nexus 7 General] 145ty:
I don't think there is anything different about the C8 production run.

I had screen lift, which was getting worse so I returned it.

Color production was fine for some colors, bad for some especially green (looked washed / pastel colored). White production was great on my model, blues were good as well.

Speakers were pretty bad, worked decent but at about 85-90% during video playback and music it sounded distorted / crackling.

SPreston2001 - When I received my Nexus 7, C8 I had ZERO screen lift. It gradually came and got worse. Got to the point where it was actually spongy and I could see/feel it move when pressed. Had it on the left side, and on the top left.
[Nexus 7 General] NickS VR4:
Well I would imagine that the don't wait until the next month to make changes. Perhaps quality changes were made in the middle of August, and some have good ones, others don't.

I just ordered mine, so I have fingers crossed.
[Nexus 7 General] SPreston2001:
Lol I think people are getting their hopes up! Like 145ty said, I personally dont think any changes were made...
[Nexus 7 General] NickS VR4:
Honestly I think that too, but I was making a point that the serial just indicates the month, does not indicate that changes were made.

I would imagine that once production is in full swing and the product is released, its not easy to fix problems and keep up with demand.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
I went through a number of N7s and rejected quite a few because of the yellow tint.

However, my very first N7 ordered during Google I/O had the same color quality (without the yellow tint) as my latest C7OK unit. In other words, this isn't something that's new to the C8OK, it's really the luck of the draw in general so far.
[Nexus 7 General] jh1521:
I think it must be a hit-or-miss in all production runs. My C7OK is perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] marcucci217:
So let me get this straight....

Having a screen with a slightly yellowish tint - we aren't sure if that is a factory defect that warrants returning?

I only have one Nexus 7, so I can't compare it apples to apples, but I believe mine has a slightly yellowish/warm tint. To be honest I'm not too bothered by it and believe that it makes reading easier on the eyes, but if you guys think that this is a defect, I would think twice about returning it because of that.

I'm still on the fence about whether to return it because of the screen lift problem (about 1mm at most), but combined with this I would certainly think twice about whether or not I should get a later production model. It's not like I would return it because everyone says so, but I certainly don't want something defective if it would lead to problems later down the road, as I plan on having/enjoying this tablet for quite a long time.
[Nexus 7 General] SPreston2001:
No I can tell you right now the c80 units look no different screenwise than earlier units. Maybe others had bad/defectives screens but my c70 looks identical to two other c80 units I just recently purchased. The color issue more likely can be corrected with software tweaks so dont sweat it. Every unit ive seen had a slight yellowish tint including the display models I played with at Staples, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. Enjoy the tablet for what it is and dont give yourself a headache by looking for reasons to return it.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
I think they are all the same screens but they aren't tuned properly. Custom Kernels will tweak the color so that they pop more (Trinity does this). I notice a big difference with my screen colors by using EOS rom (comes with a Trinity kernel).
[Nexus 7 General] tannor:
I have been through all of this with my Samsung galaxy nexus, I went through 3 of them, till i found one I liked. It still was not perfect but gave up after that, some had purple tint, one was blue tint and other had yellow tint, some had vertical banding.

I think what it comes down to with electronics specifically all these screens, no two devices will look identical. I am not 100% sure or know why.

My C80 had one dead pixel other then that worked fine, but I noticed it right away since right in center of screen, I exchanged it and this time got no dead pixels, screen looks perfect, I am sure if I look hard enough I can find something wrong somewhere but I won't because once I do hard to go back.

I searched a lot for boot animations but couldn't find one that I would like on my phone so I created my own boot animation. Posting it here if someone wants it.

Instructions:

Your phone should be rooted

This is NOT a flashable zip

1. Place/Replace the file in /system/media/ using RootExplorer (or any other root-access explorer)

2. Change the permission of the file in options. Set it rw-r-r. (Just tick em all if you do not understand this)

3. Reboot the phone. Enjoy! :)

Resolution: 480 x 854

Thanks to Wechy77 who edited the bootanimation by removing all the useless frames and changing the fps to a more suitable number which lowered the boot animation size from 2.25Mb down to just 640kb! :D

I edited it, and its 640kb. I can send you to test it, and you can see what i changed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Yovecio:
Really nice and minimal...

But maybe it should be sexier with circles instead of squares in the progress bar
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eldwafio:
nice boot animation :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] foggyflute:
Similar to the one I made months ago, but how come it over 2MB when mine is just 35KB

O_o

You need dropping fps and indexing png to get smaller size.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GarfieldEvans:
I just tried that and I think the squares still look better but I guess it's a matter of personal preference. I still attached the circles bootanimation here if you want it. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GarfieldEvans:
Wechy77 helped by reducing the size to 640kb! Certainly not 35kb but atleast its not 2MB. :D

Is there a way to save a shortcut on one of the home panels to:

1) open a file such as a saved PDF?

2) open a saved bookmark on internet browser?

Or are we only able to save shortcuts to apps and Widgets?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sandiegoan:
The short answer is yes you can

I responded to this once with great detail on how to do it, but when I went to post, the site was down and all was lost. Now you get the short version.

With ADW Launcher you can add shortcuts. Get free or paid version of ADW and have a file manager. I use Astro File Manager. When you add a shortcut, choose ASTRO and it will open the app. Then simply choose your file.

This feature and not being able to have my 5x5 grid is why I don't use Touch Wiz.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradleyw801:
I think you can do this by downloading ES File explorer, with any launcher, rom, etc. Just navigate to the file with ES file explorer, then long hold it, and then choose create shortcut. I know that works for videos, PDF's, and other document like things, but probably not for webpage shortcuts. For that, you should be able to just add those using the stock launcher, or any other launcher by long holding the screen, and selecting add shortcut, then from there choosing the bookmark.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sandiegoan:
Tried this with ES and it works! I might be one step closer to using TouchWiz.
