[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emyaz:
hi nirvann :)

ok so i think the first step is to learn basic java programming. after that you can try to develope your own app. i really like this tutorial, maybe it could help you http://www.vogella.com/articles/Android/article.html :)

i think at first you should set your prioties to the app development and not to rom development...

i wish you good luck with your first own app ;)

Sorry for my bad englisch :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niravnn:
Thanks so musch emyaz

I totally agree with you first I'll learn java than will learn app developing and after all that if I thing I'm good at it than I'll think about learning rom developing. I also love linux so I think I'll be learning that to so I think things will be easy after learning linux core coz android comes from it

But for now Java is top priority

Hi guys,

I'm competely new to xda and am a bit of a novice when it comes to apps/computers etc.

I was wondering if it is possible to get adobe flash for the nexus 7 and how on earth do i go about it?

I know people have asked this question many times before (but i can't find the exact answer i'm looking for).

Before anyone says it.... I know flash isn't great but I need it to watch tv (the RTE player)

Any help (broken down in very,very simple baby steps :silly: ) would be great!

Hi everybody :)

I have installed real ics some time ago, and i found the experience much more complete than with custom

rom...

now i would like to make another step... so i shoul lock my bootloader first...

i read that there are two ways... test point and official sony...

with official sony you lose DRM...but i read also that the only problem tht this lost caused (track id doesn't work) doesn't exist anymore as latest version of track id works even without drm... so are there other problems if we lose drm?

because i think official unlocking is much easier isn't it? so why a person should choose the test point method?

latest answer: i found real ics is amazing rom... but, after unlocking bootloader (if i will succeed to), which kernel should i choose? i would like something safe, stable and fast... and if possible with good battery performance...

thx everybody for answer :)

hope i did not disturb with this post if repetitive... but i wanted someone to answer me directly, and even if i found good informations in this forum, i did not manage to decide what to do...

bb :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
i prefer test point method cos with it one wont lose drm keys & wont void warranty.... after bootloader unlock using testpoint, t will still show Allow bootloader unlock:yes but Official way will void warranty.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chepoz:
Indeed, test point method! No regret!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alexmessy:
I would also recommend test point method as you dont lose drm keys, I did it with test point method myself because I didnt have a choice, anyways I didnt need drm keys, but some ppl do, so in that case better go with the safe side, the test point even tho it can be a little difficult :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
When I bought Mini Pro den, I use Test point & no issue but along tha line my screen break & took it to care center but I was told it can't be repaired & was given another one cos its still under warranty... But tha new one I was given can't be unloocked using Test point cos its having latest security so I used tha Official way but was happy though!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
When you do the testpoint method, you have to remove the sticker under the battery to get to the actual testpoints.

So you have to do that very carefully, because if they notice you've been removing it, warranty is lost.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] WandererX:
oh so many answers :laugh:

but all of you suggested me the same thing... so i think it's really best choice... i think however i won't need drm... but anyway you suggest me to use testpoint method, finally, not for drm but for warranty isn't it? and is it sure that if i use in right way test point they won't notice i've unlocked the bootloader (so i will still have the warranty)? beause i heared that in england they did not repair some xperia arc because they noticed the users had unlocked the bootloader....

so finally ya suggest me to use that method?

and for the kernel, which one would you suggest (stable, fast above all for telephone use and media, good battery...)

i want to thank all of you however... really ya give me all these answers that i did not expect to... ;) thx a lot for helping me!

bb!

edit: ah sry whalesplaho talked about latest security... so how can i know if i can unlock it or not in safe way?

thx again!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CeBits:
My SK17i testpoint wasn't covered under the sticker. I unlocked using testpoint because of the warranty. I am not sure if they can detect this or not, but its lesser then two evils I guess. If you unlock the BL by Sony method they will have your IMEI in their system as unlocked so no way you can get lucky and keep your warranty. Even if the phone doesn't turn on completely, they know it has been unlocked.

test point doesnt work on latest releases of xperia mini/mini pro/active. If you have 12w17 on the back of your phone, then testpoint won't work. That's what others have said in the test point thread. I only used SE bootloader unlocking and its easy but you lose your DRM.

Hi Guys

Just got a used Galaxy S2 but the usb is broken, it wont chrage nor onnect to a PC. I knew this before hand so its al good but i was trying to root using a method on these forums by rebooting into recovery and installing busybox and CWM but when ii go to do that in recovery, go to external sd,there are no files.

Im slightly stuck, not sure how to root without usb access. Phone has gingerbread 2.3.3.

Any help is appreciated

Transfer the file to your sd card through your wi-fi connection and then just follow the steps on that guide.

Oh and yeah, you might wanna upgrade to ICS (get an ota update if usb is not working)

I'd suggest other methods to root GB but nothing comes to my mind if your usb is screwed.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
It would help to have some kernel messages when you are plugging and unplugging a "good" charger, as well as the one that fails. When you ahve a chance, would you:

Plug your phone into a known good charger

Wait half a minute

Unplug your phone from the charger

Run in a terminal window (*not* adb over USB) # dmesg > /sdcard/good-charger.dmesg

Plug your phone into the bad wall charger

Wait half a minute

Unplug your phone from the charger

Run in a terminal window # dmesg > /sdcard/bad-charger.dmesg

There shouldn't be any personal information in those files, but I'd check them first to make sure.

Once you have those two files, if you would upload them to pastebin or the like, then post the URLs here.

If you flashed the 2.89 stock Sprint ICS kernel in the MeanROM-ICS folder on the SD card, some of the other kernels won't flash over that and you will get WiFi and 4G problems. Try flashing the VM Leak kernel that is the default for MeanROM ICS 2.6, then flash your other kernel(s) over that.

Did you reformat and restore your SD card after performing the wire trick? Sometimes the card gets corrupted even though it may not appear to be at first.

I am started to hate Kies and now I'm starting to really hate everything!!

I'm trying to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Wi-Fi UK GT-P6210 Build number: HTJ85B P6210XXLB1.

I thought I could upgrade via Wifi but apparently it doesn't work (and it doesn't) and I have to use Kies. The ADB USB drives install but the MTP drivers just will not install. I've tried all the workarounds I could find, installed and reinstalled, reset my Samsung and restarted my PC. Same problem. Tried on my Laptop. Didn't work. Downloaded a new Windows MTP driver. I mean this is ridiculous.

Also if I use this SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe or the Kies versions I get a long list of drivers and no indication of which one is the correct one. I tried all of them. Same result.

What next? Destroy it? :confused:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
Let me start this review just by saying that i love bumper cases. I

have been looking over the internet to find the best bumper case for

our Galaxy s3. I came across this case. Its a STRONG silicone bumper

that completes me in every aspect.

First of all. Its cheap. I think that everyone can try a cheap case

and if they dont like it, they throw it to their dog. (hehehe) Guys,

seriously. this is the best bumper case i have seen over the internet.

Why? It has a nice touch when you are holding your

phone. VERY nice touch. You will want to just hold your phone because

it has a nice feel Second of all: PROTECTION. And i mean it. Front,

back and sides are fully protected.

Front side (screen): the case has a slight bump on the edges so if the

phone drops the floor, its still protected (floor not the road hehe).

Back: Again, the case has a bump on the edges. So if your phone drops

on the back, protected!!! if you want to lay down your phone on a

table: PROTECTED.

Sides: Full protection, which is obvious why: its the case hehe.

Buttons: FULLy accessible button, both power and volume buttons. They

are covered by a soft silicone so there are very easy to press

(compare to the other tpu case i have reviewed)

I dont know if there are more colours available. You must check on

sellers ebay site.

Rating: If this case would be rated its a rock solid 5/5. Believe me

on this. It defenently worths every peny guys. I even compare it with

a TPU bumper case, that i have reviewed last week, amd this is by far

better.

Enjoy the pictures. I tried to take as many as possible.

I will review more bumper cases in the near future so stay tuned.

You can buy this on this link:

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
Its a single piece mate. Plus you dont lose any signal plus its a snap in snap out plus its veryyy cheap :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Erazo1986:
How does this fit with a zag shield?

Galaxy S3 Paranoid ROM.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
I think that with the zagg shield you will be ok. The case has already a tight fit so its better not to use extra protection underneeth. I dont think you need zagf shield for the back cover because its already protected from the case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] davpel:
If it is anything like the one for the Galaxy Nexus (and it appears to be the same), there is a hard plastic material used on the rear portions of the bumper, while the piece which surrounds the screen is flexible rubber. With the GN, the two materials separated.

Okay, so I've been flashing ROMs on Safestrap, everything is going great.

What I'm worried about is that I made a full backup before enabling Safe System. Later on I decided I was confident enough that I didn't need the full backup, as the device would go back to normal after disabling SS.

Is this right? Even though I deleted my Nandroid backup (I did NOT delete the file under /orig), will it restore to stock upon disabling SS? I seem to think it does, as I remember having done this without making full backups before.

I'm just wondering!

I just want to know if it's okay to toggle Safe System off without having a Nandroid. Thank you :)

Yes you can toggle without a full nandroid. When toggling back and forth, safestrap just makes a backup of /data on the current partition, then restores the backup of /data of the partition you are going to.
