Hello!

Here's exactly what I'm looking for - I need an 'update.zip' file that will make the 'system' folder writable and then it would copy this file:

/system/framework/framework-res.apkback

to this folder:

/system/

after that it would rename the 'framework-res.apkback' file in the 'system' folder to:

framework-res.apk

and copy it back to:

/system/framework/

It has to overwrite an existing 'framework-res.apk' in 'system/framework' folder and in the end make the 'system' folder ro.

Note: The permissions can NOT change.

How exactly can this be done please? I have some ideas but I don't want to risk bricking my phone more than it already is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] madman604:
so i was staring at this GameKlip accessory and thought, I could probably make one myself. They sell for about $20 including shipping online. Why not save some $ since I had the material.

What I used:

1 piece of 3" long and 1/8" thick stainless steel wire ( I got from a welding shop )

some shrink tubing from an electronics store, to protect the mounting points on the controller.

lighter or hair drier to shrink the tubing.

2 pairs of pliers to bend the wire

1 Sharpie marker to mark my bending points.

Playstation 3 Sixaxis wireless bluetooth joystick.

you can design as you see fit, but i started by bending the wire in half like a big V

bent the curved part 1/4" down @ 180 degrees. this is my anchor point for the joystick. this part goes right between the thumb sticks at the back.

from there i went underneath the joystick, making small bends to follow the contours of the controller.

NOTE: this is where you slide small pieces of shrink tubing over the wire at any point you don't want scratches on your joystick. Keep adding more as you progress, if you make too many sharp bends, you wont be able to slide the tubing around the bends.

anyways from the bottom to the front the wire goes, again following the V shape and spreading towards the L1 and R 1 buttons.

from there I bent the wires up, again following the contours and adding shrink tubing. Every time i needed a bend, i marked the wire with the Sharpie first and eyeballed it. the great thing is if you mess up, just bend the wire back and try again.

After going to the top front of the joystick, i made mounting bends like the first one. now with two single wire ends instead. (see photo) went backwards a tad and curved back 180 deg foward again.

i bent the remaining wire into a smallish platform then back to the joystick again, aiming for the USB charging port for my final brace to hold the weight of the phone.

I finished off by joining the two loose ends at the bottom of the joystick again with the shrink tubing. Both ends in one piece of tubing.

now i need a cheapo eBay TPU rubber case to permanently glue/double side tape to the mounting platform.

In all it took me about an hour.

you can use a thicker gauge of wire to make the whole assembly stiffer, but that would be too hard to bend and possible damage your controller when putting it on or removing. I had to remove it many times during the build to test my bend angles and fit.

oh and if you're not feeling the MacGuyver-ness, buy a real one here: http://buy.thegameklip.com/

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xX CISSOU Xx:
Nice work :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] madman604:
thanks :D

on second thought, thicker,copper wire would be doable too, as you can easily solder the pieces any way you want, and its malleable enough to bend easily.

I thought about Aluminum Wire but its too soft and likely to come loose and make your hands all black from the oxidation. It would be light though

I may just tack weld a small sheet of metal to the platform part so i can stick a case on easier.

Maybe just punch some small holes in the TPU case and zip tie it to the frame....

Using an ultrathin 3mm case and double sided tape. I dont recommend this case for this job as its super hard to remove the phone from it.. A softer flexable TPU case is best.

Sorry for the bad photo, using my Nexus 7 for a camera blows.

What about modifing this car mount to clip in and out?

View attachment 1572530
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] madman604:
looks good but likely cost way more than its worth. may as well just spend the $20 for an original one. you'd still have to make a clip on part and bond it to that mount.

hey guyz my note recently got screwed up power problems , so i flashed the stock rom back and unrooted my not to fix my note on the warranty from service center so after 3 days of leaving my note there the maintenance team told me " this time we will fix your phone on the warranty but next time dont root it " how the hell did they find that out and they told me also that i have flashed 87 times via oden so i wanna root back my phone and try Asylum cyanogenmode 10.1 , 4.2.1 so is there anyway to clear the flash and root history from where ever they are found ???

also they told me you can flash whatever custom rom you'd like as long as you dont root your phone

so i found out that flashing on the stock rom without rooting does not void your warranty

thanks all in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
may be because the counter was not cleared and you had a yellow triangle at boot ?

yes. you can flash any stock rom using odin and that doesnot void the warranty

[AT&T LG Optimus G] ggibby:
When my LGOG first came out of the box and was charged up and activated on 12/10,

I was prompted for an OTA update and applied it.

Since then I've rooted and unlocked, am now running Nottach's excellent 'The Base' ROM.

Got an OTA notice on my phone this morning.

Was the original update removed by my activities, or is this a new one?

How can I tell?

Google is no help so far.

I've not applied it, on general principle.

Anyone else experiencing this?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
I've had the same thing. Not sure of its contents, but you can apply it and it will error out since you're not stock. That will make the notification go away. No worries. I've done it twice.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] argolfermd:
You can also create a new APN that is identical as the default, but remove fota. That will block it from checking anymore, but not make the notification go away. There are two applications you can freeze in TiBu that will remove the notification, but I don't remember what they were. A little seaching in this forum should turn them up though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dbgeek:
This OTA may have errored out without causing probs, but that may not be the case with future OTA's. The best solution, if your phone is unlocked is to eliminate OTA notices. #2 FAQ in carrett's root & unlock guide contains instructions to eliminate OTA notices.

Hi, i upgraded to JB and decided to install Google Calendar App.

Everything is working fine except for the lack of snooze button in the notification window. Plus, it doesn't show Call and go to map directly from notifications bar like advertised. What i'm interested about is Snooze function (without installing a 3rd party app).

Is this a common bug or is it specific to our HTC devices?

I disabled the HTC Calendar app and Widget, and still not working.

power widgets - quick access bar for wifi, bluetooth, brigthness, etc...(play store)

prism tweak - better hd video color when playing from youtube, etc..(play store)

nexus camera app - use the front camera (play store)

hd front camera mod - hd quality from front camera (xda)

talkatone - free voice calls (play store)

unsync google currents for lag free - removes the lag from your N7 (youtube)

miui tweak - crisper looking icons on launch screen (youtube)

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
Not at this time. Previously on like the Asus Transformer Prime on ICS you can install Chainfire 3d and it would enable it. But Chainfire 3d doesnt support Jellybean so there's not even a way to test. If you try to use Chainfire 3d on JB you will end up with a soft brick (stuck at bootup logo

Well... Seems we'll have to wait for a Gameloft update (with lots of luck) or a Chain fire 3d update :(

Thanx for the heads up about not flashing Chainfire's 3d but already did without reading the app's features, and yeah... Got a Bootloop , already solved by the way.

I am using the Email app from Samsung. I have it synching to both Gmail, and to a Yahoo account. It notifies me for the Yahoo, but not the Gmail.

Now, I had turned off Gmail notification in the Gmail app, as I had gotten dual notifications: one from Gmail, one from Email. But now I find I am not getting notification from the Email app for Gmail, although I do for Yahoo. So, I have turned Gmail notification back on, and I do get notification from it. But of course then in the notification bar, it takes me to Gmail app, and I prefer to use the Email app.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FishDoc:
Afraid I don't have any suggestions since I've worked all weekend trying to fix the problem. If it's any consolation the yahoo mobile mail update site has dozens of irate comments. Seems as if the new update (around Dec 12) is the culprit. Don't find anything from Yahoo but surely they'll get it fixed before long.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
Hmmm...maybe I didn't write it up clearly. The Yahoo site is notifying fine (again, in the Samsung Email app). Googlel is not.

Here's the link. You might be interested to see if anyone else has your specific problem.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.mail&hl=en

For what it's worth. I found a copy of the old yahoo mail apk, uninstalled the current version, installed the old version and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately, yahoo automatically upgraded in less than an hour. Tried it again with the same results. Found out that you cannot stop upgrades. If you have time, I'd like for you to try the old version just to see if your results are the same.

I wasted many hours this past weekend that could have been spent watching football if I had had your insight.

A possible temporary fix for Yahoo Mail

I have at least temporarily fixed my non-notification problem with the new update of Yahoo Mail. First I opened google market, uninstalled yahoo mail, while in market I opened menu and unchecked automatic updating. I then downloaded yahoo mail 1.4.5 apk and installed it. This can be found on numerous sites after googling. After signing in I opened the app went to menu and picked the notification procedures I wanted. I'm on a galaxy s3 and so far so good. Seems to be holding.

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

Don't know for sure but it seems likely that you're seeing a conflict between similar programs. One is probably establishing precedence. I had a number of similar problems this weekend when I was trying to use light flow along with gmail and stock mail and yahoo. When I would get one working the others wouldn't. Finally had stock mail and yahoo working but notification was a sometime thing. I'll be if you reinstall yahoo apk 1.4.5, yahoo will work as a stand alone program and the others will work as expected. Let me know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
Interesting.

I have two programs: gMail, and eMail. I don't have Yahoo installed. With that theory, it seems adding a third app would add to the problem.

It is interesting that the email app will notify when I receive messages from Yahoo email, but not Gmail.But I think you may be right about some kind of conflict. It's also interesting that when on ICS, both alerted for Gmail. So I would get double notification. So I had turned off notification in Gmail for the inbox, but left it on for a particular folder (I wish the email program would let me set different notifications for different labels, like Gmail will).

I doubt I can uninstall Gmail, but maybe I can. I might try uninstall it and see if I get notifications from the Email one, and then reinstall and see what happens.

OH, by the way, I too have Lifghtflow installed. ANd while writing this post I had my wife send me a test email to my Gmail account. The light came on for LIgfhtwave, but neither app notified. I may just try turning on sounds, etc, and do it all from Lightwave.

Ugh...but then I may still have issues with the other Gmail folder.

I'll keep status posted here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FishDoc:
I don't think you can uninstall gmail. However, what I did was to go to settings, then app manager, highlight gmail, delete data, and then force close. That takes it out of commission for awhile and gives you time to try other things. Don't know what brings it back to life after a FC but I know that a reboot does bring it back. I've been messing around with android devices for a few years and it seems that the S3 is the most unforgiving and most demanding of protocol of any yet. But I really do like it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexandre-P:
I have tested some things. My initial setup was no Gmail account in the Samsung Email app, and no sync for Gmail in my Google account's settings.

So I activated auto-sync of Gmail in my Google account's settings on my phone. Then, I added my Gmail account to Email app. I added my Gmail account as an Exchange ActiveSync type account, so it would use push-email (instead of polling with POP3/IMAP).

On my computer, I opened Gmail webmail and sent myself an email.

- Within seconds, Email app rang and showed me a notification in my notifications bar.

- Waited a couple of minutes, but the Gmail app would not show a notification. I went to my Google account's settings and clicked Sync all. Now, Gmail app synced and rang and added a notification in the notification bar.

I guess I was just too impatient and did not wait long enough before Gmail app sync, but the two apps (Gmail and Email) show me notifications. You might want to try configuring your Gmail account as an Exchange account in Email. (What Are the Gmail Exchange ActiveSync Settings?)

4.2 is nothing, seriously.

4.1 is a huge thing. As long Sony gets us to 4.1 im happy. Other than 5.0 i dont know. Cause 4.2 doesnt offer much features when companies like samsung, sony, etc.. applies their own skin/features on top of it, it pretty much does the same thing as 4.2. except for lockscreen, updates for google now.

to me, it just seems lile Google is running out of ideas.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] olipheus:
To me it seems that Sony releases way too many models.

I would love if they could cut down on the hysterical mass of releases and focus on a fewer amount of models, but I guess thats just a wish. After all, they won't make any money from releasing the latest android update to all their older phones, but by selling new ones.

It's a bit wierd that they couldn't release the Xperia T/TX/V with 4.1 to begin with. 4.1 isn't that new any longer.

My old Xperia Arc was absolutely awesome with CM10, like a new phone. I could just imagine how great my Xperia V would run with 4.1/4.2!
