[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deformat:
Right, so I'm attempting to port Xperia Sola skin to my Motorola Defy+. (Gingerbread to Gingerbread).

I've got some questions:

1. I've found out that .sin files must be extracted with Xperia ROM manager tool and with unyaffs.exe. The latter app cannot be used, and frankly I've had experience with such console apps.

Is there any other app out there that I'm missing?

Is the source released so that I won't bother with .sin/.img files?

2. I've noticed that some Xperia apps (I've got my hands on the music one) cannot be ported since they have some sort of protection (?) Am I being wrong?... If not, how can I "crack" it?

3. If there are other .apk files such as the topbar file - does it also have any protection?...

4. This source: http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...re/open-source-archive-for-build-6-0-b-3-184/

I've searched through it but didn't found out system/app folder. Maybe I'm searching somewhere where I shouldn't?...

Many thanks,

Alex.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaibhav Rai:
Hello Mods.

Just got NEWS Yesterday that "New update for Galaxy Note brings new interface and gallery"

They say its for International Versions only and is currently being pushed via OTA.

Its an updated firmware of ICS 4.0.4

Details of the firmware:

PDA: N7000XXLRQ

PHONE: N7000XXLRK

CSC: N7000DBTLRQ

Is this NEWS Correct and Can this be downlaoded and used on other Gnote. I live in INDIA. If I download this german version will i be able to use it here???????

If it does work? Please guide me on how to do it? as am not that well versed techie :p

Attached is a screenshot of my current phone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Hey Doc,

I am still om LR6 and software update shows "no update" I had the same issue last time as well and then I had to use Kies. I usually keep all files related to software update deleted from system as they keep running in background and copy them again to system to check for any update, could this be the reason for no OTA?

And what method do you suggest to update- Kies or odin? I am rooted with stock Kernel and almost all "possible" stock apps removed. I know I will loose root and all apps will be back in both methods :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
First there is no OTA update still in india after LR6.

And if you have disable software update related app then you won't get it.

I prefer Odin Odin and Odin only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Ohh, I though there might be one after reading OP ;), by the way I enabled OTA by copying all files back to system. but if there is no OTA then how can it show something, lol. Thanks will stay on LR6 then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaibhav Rai:
Thanks a ton

Hey doc it went well. the firmware is now update and running well on Gnote. Better than the LR6. Just few apps which are german based and a few by google which says that google hasnt started the service in INDIA.

Last i want to know, will i be getting future OTA's of stock rom???

Thanks a ton though :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Since you are on a German ROM, so logically you should get all German updates whether through kies or OTA, but Indian updates are a no go.

You can later flash Indian version of LRQ using odin once available, I am sure Dr.Ketan will upload it same day ;)

Decided to start a thread for posting your battery life screen shots..

I forgot to take my screen shot of my best so far =p

But i got like 9:42 minutes. Thats with about a full hour or hour and a half of HD games (Eternity Warriors 2) and then medium use like just texting and occasional facebook or internet browsing.

I also had a 6 hours with 40% battery left.

I haven't been using the potential of my battery to really see what i can get because i was playing HD games to much and just draining my battery =p With full blown just HD games non stop with sound on and auto brightness+wifi, i got 4 hours. Seems pretty good considering full blown HD games on other phones with sound and wifi and auto birghtness would kill your battery in 2 hours or less.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3vo kid:
So I come from a long line of HTC devices, and general rule of thumb is to never accept an OTA update on a rooted unlocked device. My question is does that rule still apply to Nexus devices? Could it potentially relock the bootloader? Or cause problems down the road?

Sent from my Black "Destroy Mode" Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon565G:
With Nexus devices, you can receive OTA updates with a locked bootloader and being rooted. It won't cause any problems if you do OTA, but you will loose root if you don't install OTA Root Keeper from the Play store.

I was the same when I started, only using an xperia arc before. It would bootloop if you installed an OTA with an unlocked bootloader. Think i might be considering a nexus device for my next phone. Everything just seems easier.......

I was just wondering if anyone with a grey one S has noticed white spots on the back of the phone. Looks almost like the covering has been burnt/ or overheated and caused a white spot on the back. Really weird. although because i'm rooted i'm guessing Three UK are unlikely to replace it!

Just run the RUU if you are returning it. As for the white spots Id say bring it back and see if you can get it replaced.

Hello everybody I just stumbled in Google to many sites talking about a new improved HOX called HOX+.

It is supposed to have improved battery and a new featured called clear voice that is supposed to improve the quality of sound on phone calls.

Does anybody know anything about this?

Do you think its just rummors or not?

The reason I am asking is that I have allready placed an order for a HOX (I wanted the white one which the retailer had run out of) and I am expecting to get it in 3-4 days.

If the above regarding the HOX+ is true it might be worth to cancel the order and be patient for one more month to get the new edition.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi. Ive had my galaxy nexus for about 3 months now and have not rooted it or unlocked the bootloader. Its completely stock and has 4.1.1 on it. Ive been doing research on how to root and keep reading that some of the methods will delete everything on the phone. I used to have an SGS and SGS2 and rooting never deleted anything. Can someone point me to one of the many threads on here that is clear and will not delete anything on my phone. I basically just want to root for the ability to read and write to system but not to flash any roms. I have too much important stuff to be dealing with the crack flashing that goes on here. Thanks will be given for help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
For obtaining root, you need either an unlocked bootloader or an exploit in Android OS. Afaik no exploits that can be used for obtaining root exist/are known for 4.1.1. Thus, you must unlock your bootloader and yes, that will wipe your phone clean. Nothing you can do about that, but you can of course make a backup using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420351

Toolkits use the same backup method for unrooted phones (adb backup) as described in the guide.

Hi Folks! So I decided to create a post dedicated for the mods I make especially just for Paranoid.

I wanna thank first

D4rKn3sSyS

and

molesarecoming

for making it possible to give us the best rom yet there is to S II which is

[JB:CM10:HYBRD] PARANOIDANDROID [2.0, True HybridMode, Size & UI on Per App Basis]

Note: This mods I make are not themes! These are customizations on Navigation Bar on the SystemUI.

To have a better idea of what this mod is, refer to the picture below:

If you are a fun of the navigation bar for whatever purpose it serves you, it somehow ruins the Status Bar in some point. My mod would preserve both the recent apps and home button and eliminating the back button. The reason behind this is because our hard-keys, in time, do wear out and if you wanna preserve them, you would try to avoid using them unlike the back button which is a soft button. I also decreased the navigation key width to allow usage of up to 5 icons in the status bar yet not overlapping with the nav bar.

Installation:

There are 3 types of flashable zip. two of them are the mod itself (With both Recent and Home and with Recent button only) and the other is to restore the original SystemUI. Go to Recovery, flash the zip file and reboot.

I hope you guys like it and if you do! The simplest favor you could do me is hit the thanks button! :D

It is impossible to use Paranoid Preferences on other roms. Even if you get the apk of it from the rom there is no way that it would function in other roms since there are lots of integration between the app and the rom. Sorry

Have you considered there might be something wrong with the hardware? If flashing a new roms doesn't help, it only makes sense the problem is with the camera. an educated guess by what you described is a damaged cmos sensor or a something dirty on the lens.try cleaning the lense and if this doesn't help, i'd pay a lab to get it fixed unless your wife doesn't use the camera often.

Hi all,

I have European Version of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 P7310 Wifi only.

I at least waited for the official Stock ICS Update to finally go and root my phone now. My first impression is that I made my life a little bit harder now.

As is can see so far in the forum there is only the possibility to flash CWM recovery from odin and after that go root as described in suwandiapr thread here:

**NEWEST P7310 ICS FOR USA RETAIL**[STOCK ROM]GT-P7300/P7310 odin image at One Place

Now I have a few questions. Can I use this method described in the thread for my European Galaxy Tab as well?

Can I use a CWM 6.0.0.8 file to flash with odin? Or only the versions shown in the thread?

Should be possible to unpack the "recovery.img" from a flash file prepared to be flashed from recovery, right? For example the one in the TOOLKIT thread from nirogu325 that is inside the Toolkit package

[GUIDE & TOOLKIT][8.04.12] One-stop Guide for 7300/7310

Finally, is there a possibility to flash root file from stock ics recovery. Becaus only possibility if have in stock recovery is to choose option "apply update from external storage" and when I choose this option the phone will show me "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" and I have no access to my data in /sdcard folder.

Thanks for your replys.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
Feels like people aren't searching....

I answered similar question yesterday...

I would recommend to use the stock ICS file for Odin flash. If you want, you can follow that up with an Odin-flashable recovery & a root.zip flashed from recovery.

see e.g.

Odin-flashable recovery (I still prefer the slightly older 5.1.2.6 - for a more complete and logical menu than 5.5.0.4; and more reliable than 6.x)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30839339&postcount=52

for root package:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30837767&postcount=47

Edit, to answer your other questions.

- There is no Odin package for cwm 6.0.0.8, so you can't use that directly over stock ICS.

- you can not use stock ICS recovery to flash anything at all, no root.zip, no nothing. Reason is that it does not mount sdcard correctly

- all of this will work on p7300/7310 of any region
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] derderbste:
Sorry fred_be9300, I searched a lot before opended this thread. Maybe not good enough, but I just want to get sure that I do everything correct before bricking my device.

So, thanks for your answers, this helped me to be completly sure what I have to do.

I sucessfully flashed the CWM with ODIN and after that installed the root.zip from CWM Recovery.

It was easier than I thought before, verything worked fine for me. Now I´m happy with my rooted Stock ICS for the moment and hoping for some more cool custom roms!

Probably whatever was the first root package you tried, has messed things up. It may be preventing the other packages from installing properly.

It might work to run an unroot package to clean up; not tested that myself.

I would recommend you move on to a newer ics *for p7300* though. The one you are on now, was ported in August, from the initial p7500 (tab 10.1) ics release. When used on p7300, it tends to give battery miscalibration issues after one or several charge cycles. The thread you linked is full of the complaints.
