[HTC One X] pedd:
Hi All,

I hope someone can help me on this one, I've had a good search of both this forum and the internet in general on a couple of occasions and not found anything that can help me with my specific problems.

I'm relatively new to Android, and am running a HTC One X on Orange UK, still locked and on Android version 4.0.3.

I've really been enjoying the phone (battery life excepted), but a couple of things have begun to Plague me over the last couple of days.

1) I've installed SwiftKey and a couple of months ago, a very intermittent bug started happening, where as soon as I entered a text field, the keyboard would appear as normal, and the keys would 'pop up' to show I'd hit them, I'd even get the haptic feedback, but nothing would be entered into the text field. This tended to happen without fail when I was trying to show off to iPhone-owning friends. :mad: For a month or two, this was a minor annoyance, sometimes, clearing the cache at settings>apps>all>HTC Sense would fix it, sometimes it required a reboot. However, I've just done my second reboot of the day - it's getting worse. It doesn't seem to be Swiftkey exclusive, as it's just happened to me with the Sense keyboard.

2) This is a new problem that has only cropped up since mid-last-week; The phone has started to lose WIFI connections. Connections that I know are there. My HOX will be telling me that my home router is out of range, when my nexus 7 (and my laptop, and my wife's iPad) are all happily working away on that connection whilst in the same room. I haven't done the squeeze test yet, but I'm pretty sure that it's not a loose connection as a reboot addresses the problem. The same problem occurs at work so I've ruled out my router (I restarted it for the first time in months anyway, but that hasn't stopped the problem).

The last reboot (the one that's prompted this post) took place because both issue happened at once. I've taken care of my HOX, it's faced no physical trauma, it's unrooted, I've only ever installed apps from Play store, Amazon and Humble Bundle. The phone really seems to be degenerating badly at the moment, and I'm wondering if this is down to a software upgrade. I'm wonderng this because I've noticed the phone warming up in my pocket quite a lot recently and the battery life has been worse than normal.

Any advice that anyone can offer would be much appreciated.
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
The wifi thing is the standard HOX fault, and it'll need to be repaired. Check out the monster thread on it.
[HTC One X] pedd:
Thanks Rusty,

I'm going to look into that tonight. I don't believe that it is a loose antenna, but I'll confirm.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xboxfanj:
Hi. I'm xboxfanj, a developer from over at the epic forums at xda and I think I know how the charge and the stratosphere can fix ril (fix data, call, text) on CM ROMs. Your device has the same cdma chipset as the Galaxy Nexus, which means that we should be able to hack the kernel and ramdisk to support their radios and ril files in system. I did something similar (along with bbelos) on the Epic with the Nexus S 4G radios. I don't have a stratosphere or a charge, so I would need testers and helpful developers. Assuming the galaxy nexus and stratosphere kernel sources are similar to the epic's and Nexus S 4G's, the modem control files will be in drivers/misc/samsung_modemctl in the kernel sources. Then we will have to add the correct lines to kconfigs, makefiles, and defconfigs to enable it to build. Then, we will need to add some permissions in the ueventd files to let the modem files have the correct permissions. And we will have to get rid of some things in init.device.rc. then all we'll need to do is change build.prop to use the correct ril, and throw the files in.
[Verizon Droid Charge] duuurp:
I'd be glad to help. I haven't really done any android development but I'm a comp sci student and I know Java and C. I've got some experience with the android SDK and tools.

Have you gotten in touch with JT1134?
[Verizon Droid Charge] xboxfanj:
Thanks. Gtalk me at xboxlover360@gmail.com and we can start on it.

Edit: and I haven't talked to jt about this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xboxfanj:
One more thing, apparently the Galaxy Nexus uses a slightly different LTE chip (you guys use the CMC220, they use the 221), so I'm not sure if LTE will work or not once we get this going. And the kernel drivers for radio/modem are in drivers/misc/modem_if in the Galaxy Nexus. The Charge ones are in drivers/misc/samsung_modemctl, so I guess those won't be needed, and we'll have to change all the config files to not use modemctl and use modem_if instead.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
You NEED to get a hold of JT1134. He has ported CM9 and CM10 to us, but the only thing he could get to work on the radio side was calls and sms. No data (not even mms). Those builds can be found at RootzWiki (or his github if you know it).

I'd help, but I was a LAZY compsci II student.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xboxfanj:
Yeah, I PMed him after duuurp mentioned him.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:

There's his thread. The CM10 build is one of the last posts. His source is also in the OP.

Hope this gets somewhere promising. Nice to see people still supporting our small community :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] xboxfanj:
Jt says its impossible... that's unfortunate.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
which, ICS or JB (or both)?

in any event, welcome to the community, hope you are able to stay around for awhile. we always enjoy having more experienced folks around (especially developers).

i think right now, most charge owners would be happy with a custom FP5 kernel. currently, IMNUTS is working on this (despite him no longer having the Charge), so you might want to get in touch with him on any additional insight.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xboxfanj:
Just the ril idea. Apparently despite having the same chip, it is wired differently. On the charge and stratosphere, it is connected by dpram, but on nexus it is connected by usb.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
For those who don't know:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-ported_RAM

That's really interesting that it would be connected like that. I didn't know you could use a RAM interface as an IO device.

Any chance you could still get it to work?
[Verizon Droid Charge] xboxfanj:
JT would know better than I would. But that doesn't mean we can't do anything. We can still hack the framework though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
What will that do exactly?

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Is it actual DPRAM or something more like memory mapped IO?
[Verizon Droid Charge] xboxfanj:
Hacking framework could fix data.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Then have at it.

I will try. Unfortunately, I don't know java or smali code, which are what the framework files are written in. I guess I will just have to see how the other implementations work and try to mirror those if you will.

[Verizon Droid Charge] selyb:
Smali is equivalent to java bytecode editing. It is not much easier than editing code written in assembly.

Tab let's me select download mode and Odin detects it, but the screen just shows the startup "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1." While Odin recognizes the Tab, can't actually download to Tab. Tried PDA'ing recovery, etc., no go.

Thoughts, suggestions? Dead Tab?

Thanks

Can you outline your steps a bit better, and give us a description of exactly what you're trying to do? I'm guessing you're trying to root - correct?

Let us know what you've done so far - it sounds like you're REALLY new at this so you'll want to help us out with those answers before trying anything else...

Not new, just too brief in my request. I resolved the issue. Somehow, my volume buttons appear to have swapped functions when I try to enter download mode and I have to use them in the opposite way (up vs. down).

[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
I'm starting this thread as a place for themers to exchange tricks they've learned, also to exchange information. The intent is not to become a "how to decompile ICS" thread.. they are all over if you just search. I'll start it off as an example:

For doing mass .9.png edit ssuch as replacing a color, I found the easy way is a comination of Adobe bridge with Photoshop

For example:

say i want to change all red elements into blue

open your first image in photoshop

create a action with the commands(just a example) Adjust to RGB -> select color range 'reds' -> adjust hue (set to your version of blue you want)->save->close ... say i name action "change"

now in bridge nav to folder where the images are you want to change in the same manner

select all the images you want to run the action on

tools>photoshop>batch

select the "change action" and volla....

another way ive used this is by replacing "select color range'reds'" and again select color range>sample the black edge, so the black border is selected.. followed by select inverse .. this will then select all but the border and adjust hue of the whole image w/o messing the the border
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
Tip: if youre trying to rotate multiple images and are using Windows 7, Ctrl+A to hightlight them all and right click to choose "Rotate Clockwise" or Counterclockwise.
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
Tip: If your not liking how a .9.png is stretching a image.. look in your sdk tools, there should be one called draw9patch... It's a java app to edit a .9.pngs stretching...(I just recently discovered this)

Up until finding this, I would push images I want to stretch uniformly via zip 7 after compiling..obviously poor practice to do any work later on
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Thanks, the theme I'm wanting to do involves some beveled edges on the various status bars and such. Stretching along the vertical edge would be fine but trying to pull the whole image would distort the top and bottom bevels. I'll have to look into this because I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to do what I wanted to do without the ability to control this.

Now I gotta experiment with whether a .9 image can exist where there wasn't one in the original build.
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
don't quote me in this, but I'm pretty sure it's fine to replace .png with a .9.png.....9.pngs are used as a answer to different screen resolutions to prevent distorted images
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
think this is the best place to ask. does any1 know where the Launcher drawer Icon is located?
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
I'm almost certain it's in Rosie.apk in m10 file...which can't change yet..can work around with the m10s for skins but I think that is in Rosie
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
Well that sucks if we are unable to mod it

[HTC Rezound] imckay152:
I am efficient enough in the Adobe Suite to handle this stuff, but I just dont know how to extract the system files off the phone and then apply the new ones. It is probably easier than I know, but if anyone has a link on how you start playing around with these files that would be great.
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Just download the rom you want to theme on your pc and open with 7zip, most files are in system/framework and system/app, No pulling files from phone needed. :)

To push them back just download any random theme .zip and replace the files with your themed files
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
What do u mean when u say a Theme.zip ? And where would I get one of which u are mentioning?

[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
tip I have here, I'd to take a peak at the script for the zip...I've seen some peoples scripts include deleting the original apk from the phone before pushing new..if that's the case, you could end up deleting something your not replacing with this method
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Here is a blank zip you can use to flash your theme, just make sure you put the right apks in the right folders i.e SystemUI,apk goes in system/app/ and framework-res.apk goes in system/framework.

Very true, I have done this myself a couple times, with my own scripts no less :)
[HTC Rezound] conadg:
Question if i wanted t o make my stat_sys_signal_null from a static icon into an animated one that used two different .png what would be the best way. i have tried multiple times and each time i get errors while compiling or it just doesnt work.
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
I've done this before..with adding a animation to the notifications background..should be able use the same concept..average Joe (I think that was his screen name) has a good write up on this

Disabling all apps WILL NOT show YOUR battery life but will show the battery life a phone that is not being touched would have,

May I recommend a Nokia 3410 as your phone? They used to have far over a week battery life and should cover everything you do in your "benchmark"

2 days without any activity is actually BAD. 5 days is a good average for idling phones.

hi all. i already had enough searching thru different sections of this forum on how to successfully mount my micro SD to on my sgt-p5100 and read it as well. i am using cm9 3.0.8-cm-gd8d9c61. i already installed ntfs mount and and paragon. both doesnt work. the only issue i can think of is because i cant locate fuse.ko for my tab. so if any of you could point me to the right links. i can go work on how to make it read ntfs. thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotundjere:
paragon is not officially supported on android devices.

FAT32 just works fine.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enasuico18:
paragon worked well. the only problem with paragon is once you have a file on your micro sd that is more than 4gb, it wont read the card.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotundjere:
you must wait until SDXC become widespread use, and the exFAT driver implemented officialy in android source code.

paragon is 3rd party software to support exFAT & NTFS on weird OS. Currently there's no paragon code on android source tree.

to use paragon, you must re-build the linux kernel with paragon. And then replace the stock kernel on your device with the new one.
