[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haidary.T:
Sup boys!

So my cousin got my phone unlocked and rooted and now I want to flash a custom rom. He tells me that I need a "recovery" or something. Can you guys tell me any? He told me to post my phone's info just incase so here it is.

It's a Sony Xperia Pro MK16i running Gingerbread 2.3.4 and the build version is 4.0.2A.058

I have no idea if this information is necessary but the kernel version seems to be 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1.

If you guys have any idea on how to help me out, please try to be as noob friendly as you can because I'm new to all this.

Thanks!!

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Space Patroller:
This is a two part question

I have the A700 and, frankly, I love it to pieces

1. I have a problem with app text size.. Most of the apps have teeny-tiny text that I can't read. The talk-back affects my ability to scrll up and down so text-to-speech is not an option. Is there anything to be done to control app text size?

2. I was goofing around with the Barcode scanner and I got somthing with small print as well as a bar code and I get the printed part in the scanner square. What I saw blew me away. The print was very legible and got an idea. If you could expand that magnified area to fill the screen and do away with the red scan line, you could have a very good reading device for persons with low vision. Even better, if you could route it through the Android browser, you could set it up "darkfield"; White on black. Those of you have have ever done microscopy know about the "darkfield microscope" designed to make things easy on the eyes for long-period use, not to mention using the browswers zoom command. This would duplicate the action of the current low-vision reading device known as the CCD/TV which, the last I was sure of cost $US1200 and am told is down to $US700. I contacted the creator of the Barcode Scanner app and he said that it was open-source. If what I have suggested could be done; expand the veiwing field to full screen and removing the red scan line this would make the A700 a very good low-vision reading device at about 65$ of the price of a CCD/TV

Could someone adapt the Barcode Sanccer program to expand the viewing/magnifying area to the full screen and eliminte the rad scan line?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Hi Space Patroller,

1. There are two ways to accomplish resizing the text:

1.1: Go to Settings > Accessibility and tick the Large text box. If that isn't big enough, or just not right, try 2.

1.2: Go to Settings > Display and tap on the Font size button. There you'll find the four options: Small, Normal (default), Large, Huge.

2.

That is quite the easy answer. I don't think the developer wanted to actually implement it or he just didn't have time.

To edit the source, you have to have some knowledge about the coding/scripting language. It's not something a regular "customer" could do.

I couldn't do it either, so you might want to create a new topic in either one of those:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=524

Maybe there are people with the particular knowledge who could accomplish what you want. Though removing the red line wouldn't be a huge problem for people with a little knowledge about the language.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Space Patroller:
Low Vision Iconia

I have already tried the methoids you mentioned. 1. They don't make that much of s size difference 2. The don't control the app text size in most cases. I got BigFont and that helps somewhat but not with app text

I quite agree about knwing the code and the creator really did not want to be involved I put it here beccause I was told to put all questions in the "general" forum

I am talking here about severe visual disability like not being aable to get a driver's license severe. Are you sure it is all right for met to post my question in those forums? I do not wish to give offense, but if this were done it would bring this cost of reading devices down by at least half
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
You could also try to ajust the LCD Density. The LCD Density changes the whole resolution of your tablet, which makes everything looks bigger or smaller (texts, but also buttons in apps or games).

You'll need, however, require root permissions in order to do that.

There are two ways:

1. Manually: Download a file browser which is capable of viewing the root of the tablet. Root Explorer will do that for you, but it's shareware. There are other free apps out there which can do the same thing, but Root Explorer is able to edit files. You can also try AndroZip and then edit files with Documents To Go 3.0.

Navigate to /system/. Search for the file default.prop. Edit the file and search for lcd_density = 240 (which is the default). Change it to a higher value. I'm not quite sure which values are valid, because it'll also affect the Google Play Store compatibility checker. I think 320 is a valid value. You can also play a little with it, but you have to reboot the tablet every time you change the value.

2. Automatically (On The Fly ajustable, won't survive reboot :(): Download LCDDensity for Root and check it out, haven't been able to get my hands on the app yet.

I think it's okay to post a question in one of these forums, you should edit the question a little though. You should mention the severe vision disability and then that you would want anyone to look into the app because it is open source; With of course the two things you want different. Though I really want to help you with that, I don't have the programming knowledge. I'm not sure if anyone is willing to help you out with something "complicated" like that, because people willing to do stuff that include changes like those are hard to find.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Luther Blissett:
Hi, I don't know if you updated already to JB, I did, and as a novelty there's an option to extend the apps' visualization to fill all of the screen's real estate, afterwards the text gets bigger. A new "enlarge-stretch" icon appears near the clock in the navbar in (almost) every open app. But maybe you already found out by now :)

Hi All, :crying:

While I was using the AAHK hack kit, my pc shutdown unexpectedly when the aahk process was at :

OKAY

rebooting...

Radio downgrade complete - starting next process - please be patient...

Now, when I try to reboot my phone by pressing the Volume down + Power button, it won't let me go into the HBOOT screen. I think my phone's hboot image is lost. I've tried to reformat the SD ext by putting my sd card into another phone and reformat it using clockwork recovery mode. It was successful. Then I put the SD card back into the damaged phone and then tried to boot, but still it won't let me go into hboot.

Is there anyway I can use the recovery to flash a ROM?

Any help is much appreciated.

Project Open Cannibal presents...

Cannibal Open Touch v2.1 for HTC Droid Incredible​

About Cannibal Open Touch:

Cannibal Open Touch is the next generation of custom recoveries. Jam-packed with cool and useful features, it can handle just about anything you can throw at it.

Main Features:

1. Support for both Edify and Amend scripting (flash all ROMS!)

2. Theme support

3. Touch screen button controls!

4. GooManager support!

5. Internal e2fsprogs for size

6. Backported “retouch binaries” patch for ICS/JB compatibility

7. Advanced Backup

8. Delete old backups!

9. Persistent settings

10. User-defined backup locations!

11. ADB Sideload

12. Touchscreen calibration

Why the name Cannibal Open Touch?

Because we can. The name also embodies everything that Cannibal Open Touch is. It is no longer just a variant of ClockworkMod Recovery, it is it's own recovery by itself. Combining features from ClockworkMod 5, Team UtterChaos' Sony Xperia recovery, AmonRa 3.0.6, Xionia CWMA and a heaping helping of our own special enhancements it is truly revolutionary.

What to do when an error occurs:

DO NOT simply say "xxxx doesn't work" as that is highly unhelpful and will probably be ignored. Instead, post the recovery log! To grab a log when an error occurs, simply open a terminal (or command prompt if on Windows), "cd" to an easily accessible directory and execute:

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Paste the log as an attachment (don't paste the text inside, as it can be quite lengthy), or paste it on pastebin.com.

WARNING!

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Cannibal Open Touch you must delete the settings.ini file located in the cotrecovery folder on your sdcard!

Flashing instructions:

1. Download the Cannibal Open Touch recovery image.

2. Reboot your device to bootloader mode (adb reboot bootloader)

3. Flash the image with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img)

4. Reboot to recovery mode

5. PROFIT!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurokirasama:
Hello,

I few days ago i rooted my phone for my first time and i flashed that JB ROM with multindows support.

So, i noted that the cpu load it's always high, near 100%. Also RAM is a bit more used that with the ICS ROM i had.

Thing is that most of the times, when i open OS Monitor to see what's going on with the CPU, then the cpu load suddenly decrease... ?_?

If not, there nothing abnormal in the list of apps. Most of the time the "Android System" or "System" are using most of the CPU load...

I read that JB leaks have an issue with the media scanner. Well, I installed Rescan Media Root to disable the service, but nothing changed.

I don't know if it's because the app do not disabled the media scanner or because that's not the problem.

About the first, after disabling the media scanner, when i take a picture, it should appear in the Gallery only after i manually scan the media right? Well that's not happening, even after supposedly disabling the media scanner, after taking pictures they keep appearing automatically in the Gallery.

I also installed SetCpu and CpuSleeper to control cpu, i did'nt expect to solve the problem but i though they are a good tool. So, even though performance improved a little, it didn't solve the problem, altough it seems to happen lest frecuently, but just a bit.

About SetCpu, i noted that when changing from one profile to another cpu load also increase to 100% for a while, is this normal or maybe my profiles are set up wrongly?

My profiles are, in orden of priority, highest to lowest: (cpu frequency available: 200, 500, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400)

- When screen is on and some games app are active, governor performance, minimun cpu frequency 200, maximun cpu frequency 1400.

- When screen is off, above certain battery level threshold (20%), governor on demand, minimun cpu frequency 500 (to avoid lags when unlocking), maximun cpu frequency 800.

- When screen is off, under the battery level threshold, governor powersave, minimun cpu frequency 200, maximun cpu frequency 500.

- When screen in on and above certain battery temperature, governor on demand, minimun cpu frequency 200, maximun cpu frequency 1000.

- When the screen is on, not in acall, above the battery level threshold and under the battery temperature threshold: governor powersave, minimun cpu frequency 200, maximun cpu frequency 1400.

- When the screen is on, not in a call, under the battery level threshold and under battery temperature threshold: governor powersave, minimun cpu frequency 200, maximun cpu frequency 1400.

I hope you can help me,

Hey there,

i know -why buying a new phone before armageddon at 21st december but hey- with that you can take awesome pictures of the doom :D

okay, back to my problem.

i got a new i9305 and -as you can think- i want to root it.

have rooted my desire before, so im not 100% noobish, but i want to go the easiest way and use the given tools.

ive downloaded this one:

Toolkit 6.0

installed it and now i even got problems BEFORE i even started it :eek:

trying to translate:

"System could not find the provided path. Command "C:\Users\Little~1." is misspelled or could not be found.

System could not find the provided path.."

i dont know if this is a pc problem or caused by the tool.

have already changed the username but it did not change anything.

reinstalled and downloaded twice..

do you have a clue what might be the problem?

Edit: And do you think this Program will work on Win8?

Does anyone tried this on that OS (Maybe this question is pointed on the developer,hehe)?

That a great truth, but the possibilitys doesn't exist. If we got a little bit of lucky, is an ICS 4.0 update, the one that already exist but never came out. But is almost for sure a GB update.

Remember that Sony doesn't care about the people, but the money. They are able to do a perfect JB update for the Play, fully functional, but they need to force people to buy new Xperia models, so they wont do it.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:

you think that Sony, at this point would bother to get an update for Xplay GB? , And I think CM9 still not 100% functional, because until this day still taking corrections.

yeah we know , but CM9.1 is not stabler yet , not touch pad support ., camera error ( sometimes )

There are two possibilities:

1.

Sony will focus at selling lame PSVitas and won't release XP2 or updatr for XP1.

2.

OF.COURSE. After seeing a device that hasn't got a precise future like Project Shield Sony FOR SURE thought "meh, let's drop all the millions that we are spending on PSVita and all the projects that we haven't unveiled yet and let's try again with something that didn't had success like our Xperia Play".
