[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Destroyedbeauty:
My question to everyone here, is it possible to use custom Xperia S kernels and ROMs on Acro S thanks to that they got the same hardware or is this completely impossible?

I'm sucking after a new phone and it's between the Xperia S, Acro S or the coming Xperia V. The answer on this question will help a lot with my decision though so help me.. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] E.Cadro:
Please DO NOT post Q&A in the development.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] veimus:
no, kernels from XS don`t have external SD card support
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Destroyedbeauty:
Isn't that something that's easy fixed with some tweaking of the specific kernel?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deleted member 4881742:
I could be completely off the wall, and the idea is rough but each phone will be partitioned into separate categories, such as Bootloader, System, Data, etc. If we were to obtain the Bootloader partition on another Xperia phone of the same model with an unlocked bootloader, would it be possible to restore it to a non-unlockable bootloader using the DD command?

I'm just wondering as this idea is yet to be explored. I got the idea reading about a fix for the Nook Tablet, HERE.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
No, it won't work. You can't write with dd if you're not root.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deleted member 4881742:
But with the recent ICS update, root is obtainable and works perfectly :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Anyway, the unlock flag is not stored in an easily accessible location.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deleted member 4881742:
I'm willing to do anything it takes. I have my ways of cracking different forms of encoding and such, and if it's in an inaccessible location I will try to find a way around. As a community, I bet we can do something. At least install CWM without unlocking the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 0M3G4_:
Impossible is in your head :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deleted member 4881742:
Exactly. With enough motivation, there must be a way around :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
You can do that already, with the chargemon trick. Unlocking bootloader is not possible from the OS though, it needs to be done on a lower level (testpoint/JTAG).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
Its possible by modifing ta partition,if you check init scripts in root you will see that on with partition ta is located.

Did anyone try to flash ta from generic firmware,when i try flashtool does not want to flash it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The flag is not in the trim area (TA).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deleted member 4881742:
Apparently my friend's father is an engineer for Sony and can get testpoint locations of any device and also certain software. I'll keep you all updated.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
That would be great,but still simlocked phones could not boot to fastboot.

As on 2011,there were exploit but laser used it to make money,so if you had simlock you needed to pay still to unlock bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 'cooleagle':
I like where this thread is headed, keep up the good work. :good:

Cheers ! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lunarjetman1:
Hello all,

Hope there is a solution soon.

Is it the csca certificate that needs to be changed to change the unlockable status?

I spoke to someone from Sony who said they had software there that could do it. He told me to come here and wait till someone from Sony leaks it or finds another way.

Apparently when the Sony s1 signature server was online you can do a full csca certificate unlock and that will change the status of the unlockable bootloader remotely using software to connect.

Cheers,

Lunar.

I placed this question on the nexus portion, only because I have a nexus and it might effect the answer (even though the question is more general)...so here it goes :)

With the new option to download maps (or part of them), do you need to use your dataplan to use navigation? Am I correct in thinking GPS is separate from your data plan? I mean, I dont pay for my garmin. It just picks up a signal and uses maps already installed.

The thing about android is that the maps ARENT installed. But wasnt there a new option to pre-download certain parts of a map in JellyBean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
Yes, you need data for navigation. You can use Wi-Fi and cache the needed maps before you travel, then no need for the network data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can download the maps before leaving the house, and you can start navigation route guidance before you leave and it'll be downloaded, but if you change the destination or go off the path and need recalculating, it won't work. It doesn't have all of the maps and turn-by-turn data downloaded, just the map tiles/vectors for the area you cached. If you need true offline maps and navigation you'll have to consider one of the paid apps that let you download everything ahead of time.

So to answer your question plainly: you can cache large portions of maps (several square miles in size), but you can't download huge areas or navigation information.

Also remember that without an active data connection, GPS takes a damn long time to lock on.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmerillat:
The code for it is still in SecPhone.apk, but it's getting disabled somewhere. There was a check for "d2spr" that turned it off, so I went ahead and modified the .smali to just bypass that - still no luck.

For anyone who wants a shortcut, it's com.android.phone.PhoneUtils.smali "isVoipSupported()Z", I just hardcoded it to return true (const/4 v0, 0x01; return v0)

Anyone else done digging on it? Having my cell ring when my deskphone did was a really nice feature, as was calling out via the work VoIP account instead of using minutes.

Go in root browser to

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphis:
Hey all. I'd like your input on the benefits of using the device encryption on my samsung galaxy s3.

It seems to me that once decrypted and until powering off the /data partition is un-encrypted rendering the benefits completely useless during this time. Seeing as how I can easily just take someone's phone and run adb on it and dump everything despite encryption it seems to be a giant oversight to me. Unless you manage to turn your phone OFF before getting mugged that is, which to me is just silly.

Any thoughts on this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcsrich:
Don't you have to have "android debugging" enabled to connect via ADB, i.e. if you have the phone password/pattern protected and usb debugging disabled, you should be safe until the phone is rebooted, at which time the encryption would come into play?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Androiduser148:
I personally run the cm10 nightly build 4 since it finally stable but for ICS I would suggest paranoid android ICS. If u r looking for gingerbread, might I suggest MIUI for 2.3.7, it runs smoothly with no bugs (well for me). Hope that helped
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MyNameMikee:
do u have links to where to download them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ssuds:
Yeah, you install the kernel after the cm7 rom. What I did was install cm7 and gapps (The Google Play store and all google apps) first and booted to make sure that everything was working. Then I turned off my phone, booted back into Clockworkmod (By holding down volume down and power button) and flashing the kernel zip.

here's the link to trinity kernel:http://goo.gl/XqDn2

And personally, I would stick to Gingerbread for the time being, ICS and CM10 are still pretty buggy. Once the official ICS comes out, we will be getting a stable CM10 build, but until then I would stick to gingergread.

Here's some info I posted in another thread:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MyNameMikee:
cm7 doesn't come with gapps already??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ssuds:
Nope, you have to install gapps seperately. It's because of google licensing issues. I'm pretty sure most ROMS are that way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MyNameMikee:
Do you have the link of the gapps for cm7?

I didn't because I had already installed trinity at that point, and it is working fine for me so I see no need to install an older faux kernel at this point.

You can install a kernel whenever you want, just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache each time, you don't have to start from scratch. Good for testing issues and just for generally testing new kernels.

Hello All,

I just joined XDA and will do my best not to be a noob. I'm with Jumio, the Andreessen-Horowitz funded start-up that is melding computer vision technology and mobile payments. My goal is to stay abreast of the issues and topic that you find important and to share with you info about how Jumio can figure into your app development plans.

On the what's new front, we've just launched our Android Credit Card Scanning SDK. Travelocity just implemented the "other" version into their hotel deals app and you can read about it on Techcrunch from Oct. 4. This SDK is now ready and available to you on jumio.com (for free) and on top we're offering 500 free scans to eliminate all barriers to give it a try. If you need more free scans or other info please drop me a line.

BTW, adept developers implement this card scanning functionality in under half an hour. Please let me know if you can beat that time.

If this info is more suited to a different section of the forum would appreciate if someone could direct me accordingly.

Cheers,

Marc

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
When you first boot the computer repeatedly tap f5 until menu for safe mode pops up. Choose safe mode with networking. Unless they put password on machine you can access and install. Safe mode will bypass any admin setting

*Shaolin Shadowboxing*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
Does enter safe mode also requires password?

An alternative for the OP, indirect solution

Install some app on your phone which will enable you to transfer files via LAN(like something makes your phone as a uploadable FTP server , in which your phone and computer need to connect to same Wi-Fi. Then you can transfer files via Internet Explorer.

Or buy a OTG cable and USB storage device... transfer file to USB and then OTG to phone...

Just 2 stupid ideas....

Furthermore, if it is XP, google some Win PE environment, in which should have tools to disable admin password, hard problem is how you set it back as you never hacked into System.

One more thing, I think XP's admin password was saved in some file, you may be able to kill it by delete this file or replace it with non-password file ....

I don't know, either way, you need secondary operating system such as WinPE, even Dos....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Depends how they set it up. Usually it will bypass. You can also try leaving it blank Cuz default is usually empty unless they went into dos and set one up. Usually don't Cuz people don't know bout that backdoor
