[Nokia Lumia 920] iHypnos:
Does anybody have experience either buying a replacement shell for a Lumia series phone from ebay or alternately directly from Nokia?

If a 3rd party replacement how was the quality? Same finish and feel as the original?

Does Nokia even supply spare parts like this?

The reason I ask is pretty simple; I want a cyan Lumia 920 and i live in Australia. I'm not willing to compromise on this decision.

If I have to go so far as to buy an AT&T 920 + an international variant and swap the guts I will. Obviously reselling the AT&T one.

Taking it too far for a colour variant? Maybe. Do I care? No.

Any experience with 800/900 devices would be much appreciated.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ShotSkydiver:
I swapped the shells of my Lumia 800 quite a few times, from black to cyan to white. Here's a picture:

http://i.imgur.com/h3ezp.jpg

If Nokia has kept the basic design, then it's pretty damn easy, all you have to do is unscrew the two screws at the bottom, open the SIM tray, and press against the LCD panel from inside the SIM tray outwards (with a screwdriver) so it pops out. From there it's just taking out the rest of the components with screws.
[Nokia Lumia 920] iHypnos:
Many thanks for the input Skydiver.

My concern is not so much with the dis-assembly procedure, Plenty of guides on youtube and I'm sure somebody will do a 920 teardown before Telstra releases the phone.

My question is where did you purchase these alternate shells from and what was the quality of said shells?

Thanks again.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Benz-Driver:
Are there any news on where to get an original Nokia cyan Backcover and sim tray for the Lumia 920?
[Nokia Lumia 920] FreakboyZA:
I wasn't aware that you could swap the 920s' cover yourself. Not sure if you will be able to source the cover for DIY.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Scrtcwlvl:
It is a bit more involved than that, esp if the replacement shell doesn't have the antennas, although it certainly is doable. If the shell has all the needed parts in it, then it will be nearly as simple as ShotSkydiver described - drop out the sim tray, using a T5 remove the two base screws, flex the case to get it off, then disconnect the ribbon cable for the USB socket.

Here is a fantastic video that demonstrates the entire process with great detail.

[Nokia Lumia 920] phirefly:
This place has them for the 900 and such but not the 920 yet. I keep checking. I have also never purchased anything from them so I do not know how reliable they are but they do carry a lot of cool parts for many devices.

[Nokia Lumia 920] iHypnos:
A small update for those interested in doing Lumia 920 frankenbuilds.

I've been contacting spare parts shops (and nokia) regarding OEM Lumia 920 polycarbonate shells; Nokia said no, Several UK online shops said 'maybe in the future' and finally just one appears to actually stock them.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400351666215

So far it only seems to be in the Grey colour (which is surprisingly attractive). I have contacted the seller asking if he will be stocking these in other colours, specifically cyan.

I also asked if the housing comes with the antennas/Wireless charging coil/NFC/Camera housing as the picture seems to imply this.

Update: Seller responded

Good news everybody. Seems like we won't have to fiddle about removing all those antennas.

I hope 'all the colours' actually means that and not 'all the EU colours'

Hi,

I'm not developer so I'm asking You Devs:

Can anyone make a ICS ROM the way MIUI did?

Try a different approach?

What I mean is to get an ICS almost AOSP but still based on HTC rom with "bits" of Sense (camera app, keyboard etc.) as it is in MIUI v4.

Especially that most of you work on JB now.

Is this possible?
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Would that not be similar to using a sense rom with a custom launcher (Nova, apex...)?
[HTC Desire S] red0:
Using Nova (currently in use on MIUI) solve only the launcher problem, you still have Phone, People apps to go and these are the parts of ICS that should be in.

ICS theme for MIUI is nice... yeah.. MIUI on my DS lags after 1-3 days of using it and only clearing Dalvik cache helps.

MIUI weekly updates is must do every Friday. BTW MIUI Message app won't work in horizontal :(
[HTC Desire S] miwanr:

[HTC EVO 3D] uf20wop:
Is there any way to make the LED blink green instead of red on JB roms for notifications?

I either get red blinking or green solid.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
I don't know what jb ROM your using but if your using team dirts unofficial aokp ROM you can change the led color to green in ROM control under led and adjust the blink rate of the led light. It will also let you enable blinking led while phone is charging too.
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
Can you try an app? Here are a few from searching the play store:

Light flow lite

Blink

LED me know beta

Sorry I can't post links yet. Lol I can't do anything until I have 10 posts...
[HTC EVO 3D] uf20wop:
i'm on CM10.

i just tried light flow and didn't have very much success
[HTC EVO 3D] Roxxas049:
I'm on AOSP and in system settings under the display tab theres a button for notification lights. From there you can shoose a few different settings for the lights. Don't know if they work though. JB should be the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
That might be rom specific. I'm also on an aosp rom and that isn't in my settings :/

Did you try any other apps? I searched the play store for "led notification" and only listed 3. There were several apps for that. Possibly the one just wasn't compatible?

LED me know beta had pretty good ratings.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ce3jay:
I'm looking to buy a longer charging/USB cable that has the same connector as the stock one that came with the phone. I have a ton of those micro usb wires, but these have a tendency to easily disconnect. I have a USB extention cable, but that limits the charging to less than 400mah or less.

Thanks in advanced
[HTC Amaze 4G] diveoz:
I got mine on amazon for a couple bucks each. Try searching "htc oem cable." Mine are white from another htc model but perfect in all ways.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DroidDonX:
I would pick a couple of these up. They are a hell of a deal. Very thick, about 4ft long, and data exchange work perfectly. Charges my phone quickly too. Hard to believe they were only $1, and He's a US Seller so you will get them quick.

What the difference from a OEM cable from the actual amaze and any other usb , I'm using my old cable from sensation on it..anyone ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
The cable for the Amaze has a 12pt micro USB end. It's the same cable needed for the HTC Flyer. Compared to other micro USB cables that are only 8pt. This one fits more securely.

Hey guys, just picked up my play for$40 with a broken screen. I've found a few screens for cheap already but wanted to know where I should go for one or where to stay away from.

Also, I'm not New to rooting and flashing roms and such, have a Samsung epic, and a HTC hero before that but am having an issue with installing the needed drivers. Can anyone walk me through this step. Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpatisonx:
Perhaps, all needed drivers you can find in the driver directory of installed FlashTools. Just enable compatibility with Windows Vista in properties of the driver installation *.exe if you are running Windows 7 x64.

I personally bought my replacement lcd and digitizer from ebay. Also, the drivers should come with flashtool, and if you can't get them that way, you can look around the forums a bit and I know they're here somewhere.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer450:
I ended up ordering one from repair universe I think, $40 bucks and it comes with the tools. I figured out the driver thing, They where in flashtool. :)

On a side note: Are there any roms for the r800at?? Everyone I see is for r800i or something.

Thank for the Help.

Has anyone done business with repair universe? I got my replacement digitizer in and I have no touch sensitivity. I took it apart 4 times checking connections. The old cracked glass worked fine.

But the radio is not working anymore on this tab.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Hi guys,

I just tried to build my own rom from the Android 4.2 system dump, but I don't know how to write a real updater-script.

I took update-binary from FXP (not sure if I'm allowed to, so could someone tell me if I could use it?) and tried to write my own updater-script. It's looking like this:

mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
ui_print("System mounted");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "0", "/system");
ui_print("System formatted");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
unmount("/system");

but after that it's not booting. Could be kernel related, too, that FXP 145 kernel is not working, but maybe something other is wrong.

What about these set_perm lines and symlinks? How do I know what I have to write there?

And how can I know where my rom stuck, if it is kernel related or what. Tried to logcat but logcat doesn't recognize device?!

Maybe someone could help me :good:

Best regards

Mihahn

Edit: Looks like I'm not able to build from a system dump and now we have Cyanogenmod 10.1 ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Okay it looks like it's not a rom problem, if someone knows how to compile a kernel for the rom it would be nice if he could post it here or PM me, that he makes the kernel and I the rom.

It's a kernel problem I think, because it stuck on the FXP 145 kernel logo...

Would be nice if you could help me to compile the kernel for the rom!

Thanks ;)

Mihahn
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] samajid:
A Rom based on 4.2 ?? Wow
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:
Without setting proper permissions your Rom will not boot at all. Try using the META-INF folder from fxp cyanogenmod 10 Rom it should work (probably) and moreover in my personal opinion the kernel shouldn't be the problem because 4.1 to 4.2 is not a big leap and so 4.1 kernel would be sufficient.

Press thanks if I helped you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
MetaInf folder from fxp gave a set_perm error, that's the problem and I don't know which values I have to edit to get the symlinks and set_perm working...

Sent from my SK17i running Jelly Bean via CM10
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:
Okay, this is how I debug updater-scripts,

Add,

Before first set perm command then

Before 2nd set perm command and so on till the last line of code in the updater-script and you'll know after which line the error occurs and can look into that line of the code . It might be tedious process if your updater-script is loooong but it always works for me!

Hit thanks if I helped you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Yes similar to this I have done it, too. Changed some lines now and it's working very well with the updater-script by FXP :good:

Now my problem is, that it's not booting. The kernel logo appears, the led for cwm lights up, i wait, The led goes off, screen gets brighter, but the kernel logo stays.

Someone has an idea how to get it booting?

Which system dump are you using? Lg Nexus 4? Anyways, porting Rom is not piece of cake. Read some tuts, play with the system files and you might see the bootanimation sometime soon :thumbup: and even though I said kernel might not be a problem it might be actually a problem :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Yes from the lg nexus 4. I think the problem is that the rom is odexed (nearly all apks had an odex file, too). But not sure...

Read many tutorials and I've already done some ports and roms and nearly all of them are working...

Have you got any other idea what I could do to get it working?

Maybe I should wait until the first official repos are released and then start to work from source...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Thank you, I hope somebody could help me, any developer who could take a look on the rom and the updater script and maybe build a kernel to the rom...

Would be great to have an Android 4.2 rom before the sources are officially released (on the 13.11.?) :)

Haven't got much time, too, but when I have time I like to port roms or build my own ones :good:

I don't know, but I think there are really some things to do, so I think I will have to wait until the sources are released and I will try it again...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonxpress:
Hi All,

Quite new to this forum so please be gentle !

Am I led to believe that what I was prompted to flash from the device yesterday is the new official Jellybean from Samsung ? It does say 4.1.1 now that it has finished (Stock ROM, unrooted)

Another thing that leads me to believe it is Jellybean is that I cannot run flash from websites ? A quick Google search revealed that I need to download Flash 11.1 from Adobe's servers and install solved this but now when I am streaming videos, the screen goes into powerdown after 30 seconds as if the device is idle and goes to standby. I know I can just turn on the Smart stay function but I want to use my All Share Cast device so I can beam to my TV without it switching off like it did before flashing. Anybody know how to fix this ?

I have also noticed now that the device no longer vibrates when I receive a message when in silent mode even though I haven't changed any of the settings ? I noticed this was the same when I updated the non standard ROM on my old ZTE Skate ?

Any help much appreciated on what is the best phone I've ever had ...
