Someone succeeded? I just want to remove or disable the Docomo apps :banghead:
[LG Optimus G (International)] chacho_2me:
about rooting? yup...as you can see on previous post...many confirmed that root is working..including me.... :)

bdw, hope im not off topic since the thread shows some tricks on our phone... so i would like to ask if we have also NFC..if yes..I cant find it..it is not in the SETTINGS-MORE-"I cant find any NFC option"
[LG Optimus G (International)] demonntl:
You need to install another app for NFC - i tried NFC app of Sony and its work.

By the way, the R icon really annoys me, i cant connect to 3G internet unless i enable "allow data in roaming".

Is there any additional fee charge? how can i disable this roaming icon ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] germes81m:
finally somebody have with this R icon:) and then I was thinking only I have this f... icon. Any idea to bypass or del roaming function?

And whats app from Sony to NFC? Pls name or link. I think Docomo permanently not installed with NFC chip

About fm

Some told that docomo have fm receiver but it only work in japan. Who tried some fm apps?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Misudoll:
you offline too fast dude ...I was using the phone to type,not before the computer ...

I mean you may change featureset.xml lgphone.apk systemUI and framework to see if anything happens...

will upload these apks

if you have the unpack tool.you may unpack them from the system.img

and pls check the value in the former post.

keep in touch ￼
[LG Optimus G (International)] Misudoll:
[1/24/2013 20:37]

no additional fee,you can contact your carrier for proof.￼

it is said that the R icon was caused by the sim card,you may try another card,better from other carrier to check if it still shows

for me,in cn mainland,the R icon shows when I am using the cn mobile,

it disappears when I'm using sim card from another carrier-cn unicom.

on webos,change all the ('roaming').show() to ('roaming').hide() in the file /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js

will disappear the R icon absolutely.

have no idea about where android put this check system in,i think maybe in these two files

build.prop and featureset.xml

pls check these sentences in your device if possible

①==> 'ro.com.android.dataroaming=false' in the build.prop (it locates in the system)

②==>in the featureset.xml (you will find it in system/etc)

true

wish to know the value is true of false,THX

keep in touch

===================================================================================

well,i find some infos about the R icon.i'll explain it by using cn mobile as an example

the cn mobile has 3 SPN number 46000 46002 46007,different sim cards belongs to different SPN numbers,

unfortunately most cellphone manufacturer only know the 46000,this means nothing when you make phone calls

when you need to connect the network,the 46000 users have nothing changed,

but for the 46002 and 46007 users,it does influence.

although you are in you hometown,the cell base station will change you number from 46002/46007 to 46000 so that you have the permission to connect the network,while the phone will think you were abroad as it receives different SPN number from the station.and then the R icon appears...the licensed cellphone will change the check system according to the government requirement,

but no changes in the smuggled goods of course.

The R icon can disappear by flashing the baseband from licensed cellphone,but at this time,this method doesn't work as L-01E only sold in japan.

so,back to the point,where does the android put this check system in...

maybe lgphone.apk framework systemui.apk build.prop featureset.xml...have no idea==#

wish some one will unpack these apks and help us to disable the check system==#

hope this will help you.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temmychan:
So I have a rooted N7105 (ALIJ) running the latest Perseus Kernel, and I decided to flash Android Revolution HD 6.0 to see if it would work (using CWM Recovery). I took a NANDROID beforehand and then used the Super Wipe as directed, but then when I tried to flash the ROM it got stuck on the menu, I couldn't do anything, so I decided to try and restore my NANDROID and give up on the ROM, but when I do, I get stuck on the bootup logo...

When I restore the NANDROID, it checks the MD5 sum, erases the boot before restoring, and then says 'restoring boot image', then goes back to the menu with no indication of whether it's done or not. I literally left it overnight to make sure that it wasn't still restoring when I rebooted, and tried a factory wipe before I restored it, but no dice... any ideas? Thanks in advance...

[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Hi all. :)

Just a short write up as a follow on from THIS thread as this is relatively quite simple.

So you want to change your notification background from the plain dark color to something a bit more your style...

​

...well all you need to do is decompile your SystemUI.apk and navigate to the values folder and open up your drawables.xml and you should see something like this...

<resources>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_number_text_color">#ffffffff</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#ff111111</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color_pressed">#ff257390</item>
<item type="drawable" name="ticker_background_color">#ff1d1d1d</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_recents_background_solid">#e5000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_recents_app_thumbnail_background">#88000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_notification_row_background_color">#ff090909</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">#ff000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_tracking_bg">#e5000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="recents_callout_line">#99ffffff</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_legacy_color">#ffaaaaaa</item>
</resources>

Simply change these two lines...

[B]<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#ff111111</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color_pressed">#ff257390</item>[/B]

to...

[B]<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">[COLOR="Red"]@drawable/status_bar_item_background_normal[/COLOR]</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color_pressed">[COLOR="Red"]@drawable/status_bar_item_background_pressed[/COLOR]</item>[/B]

...then add two .9 png images of the same name, status_bar_item_background_normal and status_bar_item_background_pressed to your drawable-hdpi folder, recompile, zipalign, push to your Phone, done. :)

Quick Tip: If you can't create a .9 from scratch just edit the first two in drawable_hdpi which in my folder is alert_bar_background_normal.9 and alert_bar_background_pressed.9, just remember not edit over the .9 borders.

[Xperia Arc General] bjcryss:
Hi ! Are there custom firmwares based on JB that I could flash to my phone? It's an Xperia Arc with bootloader unlocking NOT allowed. If not JB, then maybe something based on ICS that works better than the official 4.0.4ICS i have right now(build .587) ? It's VERY laggy! I swear I really had enough of it...and also need to increase the phone's internal memory because ~400mb are not sufficient at all...

Help me out a bit if you can please. Of course I've searched the xda forum(i've got about 20 tabs open right now), but it's hard for me to find out if these specific FWs are flashable to my phone or if I need also to flash a new kernel for these ROMs. As I understand, I would be able to flash a custom ROM, but not a new kernel, is this true? Any help is appreciated, thank you !
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Lots, go check the dev section.

Re-read the first post, just because it says you can't doesn't necessarily mean you can't.

You figure out if you can or not by

reading

the instructions in the thread, then coming back to the stickys to figure out stuff you don't understand, but as you should be reading the stickys first you should have a basic idea of what you're doing before even attempting to flash anything.

Correct, no unlocked bootloader = no custom kernel flashing.

I've been trying to root my Xperia Tipo with Root_with_Restore_v36 by our own Bin4ry. I have everything. All the files, everything, device, drivers, cords, the lot. Latest version of the shell, too, Root_with_Restore_v36.

I extract the zip, initiate the RunMe.bat, press 5 (Old), plug in the device, everything is confirmed and correct. Device opens the Full Restore screen, I press Restore, says Restore started... and a few seconds later Restore ended. Shell reads success, says it will Reboot device in 10 seconds...waiting for device to reappear. Phone successfully turns off, computer plays USB device unplugged sound, phone turns on, computer plays USB device connected sound... and then the shell window closes. The phone hasn't gotten rooted. I've used a root checker app. Don't have root access. This is the third time I've tried without success.

Phone info:

Sony Xperia Tipo

Running Android 4.0.4

Build 11.0.A.4.22

Officially supported by Bin4ry shell

No root, stock ROM, locked bootloader

Computer:

Windows 7 64-bit

Please help? Am I doing something wrong?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dredmann:
I'm running the latest CM10.1 nightlies but sometimes I still like to use the stock firmware. Is there an easier way to go about it than having to flash a different 4.1.2 rom/gapps to then be able to flash the Sammy firmware. Flashing direct on 4.2.1 with Mobile Odin leaves the phone in a constant mobile odin flashing loop. Then I have to flash a cwm recovery with Heimdall to get CM10.1 back. I've even tried to nandroid backup Sammy firmware but when in cwm recovery, the files can't be found due to the new folder structure of 4.2.1. As I use Linux I don't have desktop Odin so the only way I can flash at the moment is with Mobile Odin. Is the there an easier way to swap between them?

[General Questions and Answers] gino4eva:
Hey everyone I've run into a problem and have not clue how to fix it. I had purchased a Rogers s3 and unlocked it with an unlock code and currently use it on the Bell network. I had my phone rooted so when the service provider was rolling out the jelly bean updates I missed mine. So I flashed the new OS onto the phone myself (the one from Bell) and it seems I no longer get LTE speeds. I was wondering if anyone else has gotten these problems with the new OS. Also should I be installing Rogers updates or Bell updates? It's the same model.

Lastly a buddy recommended juice defender to help with the battery life. When I use it at times when I unlock my phone to use it I don't get any reception whatsoever or the data doesn't turn back on. I need to reboot time get service and data back.

Hello, there. (yes, I'm new here). So...

A few days ago I rooted my phone using CF's method and had installed TWRP. But now, I sorta don't want to be rooted anymore (yeah, yeah. :( ). But now, I'm confused. How do I;

Get back to stock recovery?

Unroot my device fully?

Any help for a noob on rooting (okay, on rooting a Samsung device; I've done it on an Inspire before :laugh: ) would be awesome!

P.S. I'm still running the stock ROM (as in out-of-the-box I317 with all of the AT&T stuff still installed), just not stock recovery.
