[Nokia Lumia 800] Nikhoss:
Hi all,

Is there any way to unsimlock a Lumia 800, knowing that the material version number is: 112.1402.2.4.

I've heard it was impossible some time ago... The only way was to use a ATF box to flash qualcomm bootloader, right?!

I would like to flash it to a custom ROM as well to get it fully unlock, but my first point is to unsimlock.

Do you think it is possible?

Thank you guys :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] surya467:
Without qualcomm , cant sim unlock.

So if you want to do the hardware mod..look in the dev section here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587650 there are couple of posts with links
[Nokia Lumia 800] Nikhoss:
Ok, thanks for your input.

Exactly what i thought, only hardware mod... :(

Do you know if cell shops with ATF box are very common?

It has 4 low-power Cortex A7 cores to handle easy missions and save battery. Especially when screen is off.

Check out Tegra 3, only the 5th core is working when screen is off, and the battery barely goes down!!

Yeah but. Too many CPU, GPU etc., you need to adapt appz for it, you have sooo powerful hardware and you still can't use it properly. And we have tons of appz like Seeder to reduce lagz lol.

[Galaxy Note II General] fake_japanese_guy:
for those who dont know, here are some of the interesting facts.

* The Octa-core CPU has 8 Cores, 4 A15 cores and 4 A7 cores

* The A15 cores are tuned to perform better by sacrificing battery life, and A7 core is tuned to be more efficient while sacrificing performance

* Even though the A7 is less powerful than A15, it is more powerful than the Cortex A8 cpu found in last generation phones. Still it uses almost 1/10 the power of Cortex A8

* Exynos 5 can operate in two modes. big.Little and big.LITTLE MP mode.

* In normal big.LITTLE mode, only 4 cores (or less) will be active at a time. The OS will not be aware of the Low power cores (just like in Tegra 3)

* In big.LITTLE MP mode, the OS knows that the CPU have 8 cores. It can use all 8 cores at once if there is demand for it. (My understanding is that android will not support this mode as of now)
[Galaxy Note II General] SirCanealot:
People need to realise something.

Samsung could make a processor with 100 a15s for the gs4. It wouldn't effect the battery a bit unless the software was configured that way.

Almost everything on a processor is now power gated in the silicone, meaning it can be switched on off at will. A power gated section literally draws ZERO power.

So 100 cores would make no difference if only 2 of them were ever really used. It's just the amount of money Samsung want to spend on the silicone (smaller chips have higher yields since there's less chance of defects affecting the chip).

The die size (the amount of silicone used) for the A7 is tiny. Depending on how smart Samsung is (and how much coffee we can feed to devs like Gokan and AndreiLux :p) , we could be looking at a powerful, highly efficient chip. Considering we're also looking at shrinking from 32nm to 28nm for this the A15s themselves might not even draw too much juice. Arm said A15s would be sensible for smart phone use at good 28nm or normal 22nm production. And Samsung production right now is very 'good' ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] sohebq:
Will note 3 and s4 feature this 8 core processor?
[Galaxy Note II General] winlinmac001:
Most likely, yes. This was long over-due. The next big thing is probably already in development. If you have a Note 2 and you want to upgrade, wait for next year. The Note 2 is powerful enough and has excellent battery life, a very important factor to consider in today's mobile market.

This is Samsung's strategy in luring customers to buying a new device every year. The Exynos 5 chipset was made well over a year ago but wasn't employed in last years models. Guess what? Exynos 6 is already in development. Lol. :silly:
[Galaxy Note II General] ghoulhunter:
All that power and no apps to utilize it. All those power and bad UI to go along with it. What wasted potential. Maybe in two year's time devs will start utilizing quad core processors and 16 cores will be the flagship standard. It's a shame Android is so fragmented.
[Galaxy Note II General] winlinmac001:
Besides, the Octa-Core is still technically quad-core; not all cores are utilized at the same time. How misleading, lol. :silly:

[Galaxy Note II General] winlinmac001:
Thanks, interesting diagrams. I haven't seen significant application development yet where all cores are utilized / in the case of true multitasking. The first core is always targeted first then subsequently, etc. I mean if battery life is a concern, science should devote more time to improving battery cells, lol. :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note II General] SenK9:
Chances are it'll be a while before applications take full advantage of all the cores. I think we've reached a point where even current or previous phones are already 'quick enough' for most people, the benefits will come from OS and software optimisation.
[Galaxy Note II General] :
I don't think apps/OS have to be specifically modified for 'octa' core SoC. We already have many phone running quad-core, so I don;t see why anything special needs to be done for octa core SoC. Yes, the kernel/firmware have to schedule which core or how many cores are going to be used. That is something that needs to be done for any multi-core SoC.

Few points that I see mentioned often is why it's a 4+4 config, and not 4+1 like Tegra.

http://www.arm.com/files/downloads/big.LITTLE_Final.pdf

There is no configurable feature or optimization that favors a particular use-model. However, to reduce software complexity in the big.LITTLE task migration use model it is recommended that the same number of cores be implemented in the Cortex-A15 cluster and Cortex-A7 cluster.

The simplest arrangement involves pairing up a 'big' core with a 'little' core. Each pair operate as one virtual core and only one real core is (fully) powered up and running at a time.

In big.LITTLE MP (Heterogeneous MultiProcessing), enables the use of all physical cores at the same time. Details in the above pdf.

As for utilization of cores, check this demo:

[YOUTUBE]FoFefH38o0Y[/YOUTUBE]

This slide shows the power efficiency w.r.t A15 core like in case of a Exynos 5250.

Let's see when the first device is launched. Then we will have much more details to debate upon ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] arjun90:
I'm looking forward to Octa-Core. I think the benefits will be more on battery life rather than performance, although performance will still out-shine the current flagship phones on the market today.
[Galaxy Note II General] dodgebizkit:
Also its future proof as if the later version of android require more processing power they can optimise the os rt o run all 8 cores at once too

[Android Themes] torunker42:
Hello,

I have a meizu MX HK M30 dual core with flymeOS 1.1.7 Which is based/created upon Android ICS 4.0.3.

I want to theme my status bar, but the SystemUI.apk is completetly different than other ICS Rom or CM9 Rom.

I have tried different thing for modding but all the time systemUI stop working, but compiling with no errors, I think there is some isssue with smali code.

So I need the help of a good themer for modding and explain to me how my systemUI for statusbar work.

I want a small transparent statusbar with center clock whithout date, wifi and carrier signal on the left.

I upload some screen shot of FlymeOS

View attachment 1633344View attachment 1633343

View attachment 1633345View attachment 1633346

As you can see in the Home there is a big statusbar and this is here that I want a small statusbar.

Make attention the notification of sms or other are in the second row of the big statusbar and need to be placed at the top.

Here is a Google Drive link with stock deodexed SystemUI.apk Framework-res.apk of FlymeOS 1.1.7 :

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B5e4iFwEmsizUjdhYlZ5UE1XN1E/edit

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] TwoPointZero:
The trick used by MrColdbird to always have the small statusbar is to pretend we're never on the Home Screen (if I understood correctly the smali mods).

Regarding the placement, I think the xml res mention several date objects

- com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.HomeClock

com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView in layout/status_bar_large.xml & layout/home_lower_panel.xml

(2-row status)

- com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock in layout/status_bar_opr.xml

(?)

- com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock in layout/status_bar_small.xml

(1-row status?)

- com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView in layout/status_bar_expanded.xml

(dragged statusbar?)

Can you try & see if you can tweak these xml files?

Edit: does it belong better in forumdisplay.php?f=1905 ?
[Android Themes] torunker42:
Thanks for reply

Do you come from MeizuMe?

So I have already tried to change some value in this XML files

If I undestand correctly the large home status bar work like that :

there is one file in res/layout/statusbar.xml this file call three other XML for the different look of the status bar :

- 1 res/layout/small_status_bar.xml which is the code for the look of the status bar when an app is open.

- 2 res/layout/opr_status_bar.xml which is the code for the lockscreen status bar.

- 3 res/layout/status_bar_large which is the code for the home status bar this file include a call of /res/layout/home_lower_panel.xml which is the second line of large home status bar.

So the thing that I want to know is can I remove the Home_lower_panel.xml whithout problem or I need to touch the smali code ?

If I need to touch the smali code I can't because I don't understand how smali works. I have already read some article on the google dev guide but I don't undestand.

Can you try some edit on the systemUI file try to compil and upload your file for testing I need an external coder and point of view because my processus for modding is wrong.

I put the recommended files for work on google drive : systemUI you have the framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk

try in your side give me the file for testing.

( ATTENTION : If you have your own meizuMX for testing be carrefull the files that I have upload come from FlymeOS 1.1.7 the latest update from meizu.

I have Just deodex the rom. So if you want to test in your own you need a Flyme 1.1.7 deodex rom, I can upload it if you need.)

Sometimes I have some aapt error when (for example) : I remove home_lower_panel.xml and I tried to recompile.

For a succefull compil I need to export the classes.dex and ressource.arcs inside my working SystemUI folder.

But after that I have SystemUI stop working when the phone start I use root explorer, I give the good permissions.

Do you think I make something wrong and do I need to make a flash zip and clear data ?

And I don't understand what you mean "Edit: does it belong better in forumdisplay.php?f=1905 ?" ?

Thanks for giving a little of your time for some FlymeOS user.

I just read about this thing, and I know we have leaks and such, but it worries me that we won't see JB. Why would they update ours and have a new one come out, and the new one is the same thing accept 8GB internal and runs JB out of the box. Anyone else at least confused on Samsung's thought process here?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I'm not sure why but it's probably because they got left over parts they never put to use so they probably just slap them together into a mid range phone and make whatever they can out of the parts they wouldn't be able to get rid of anyways. Just my thought... if you can scrap older parts or left overs into a device you can use to sell via a carrier on a contract for 50 to 100$ maybe even free, why not? :P

Maybe looking to corner the market on pre-paid carriers with the left-over parts as mentioned before. Also, with apple rumors on a lower cost iphone for overseas markets, maybe this will be marketed as the H2H competitor.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I guess the positives of it rocking nearly the same hardware is that if the older S2 models don't get 4.2.x updates... the S2 + will be a sign of hope. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Looks like the price will be around $450usd (if its priced similarly to other countries by exchange rate) so itll be a lower mid range device on par with s3 mini slightly higher price than s3 and lower than prevail. So on contract it should come in between $99 and free(if it goes to us carriers that arent prepaid)

Who the hell knows. Probably size constraints cdma devices have alot more crap inside them than gsm does.

Then theres all the other parts in there wifi antenna bluetooth SoC RAM etc nfc chips are actually quite big. The s3 has it built into the battery because of that and the note 2 has it built into the battery cover with connectors that press against leads on the back housing

Edit: it also has a very limited range like maybe 2" MAX so it cant be embedded in the device it needs to be almost at the surface to prevent interference from the other hardware. Its range is so limited it wont eve work thru some phone cases

Sql and sqllite are used in alot of the hidden partitions and db's, areas we dont really mess with.

Alot of what we work in when modding roms is java, c or c+/+ depending on what it is. Scripts are usually in c or c++ and then the ui and frameworks are a combination of java and c variants

There are some good guides around and good people to ask. For smali, backsmali and other frameworks and ui mods shoot a PM to tommytomatoe here on xda and tell him I sent you to ask for his assistance in learning how to theme and dev he'll set u up with all the guides and answer any questions you have. Hes really good people he's taught alot of us something or another. When I first got started with messing with android after I came over from WebOS and the Pre he got me setup with all the tools and learning the ins and outs of android, which isnt a whole lot different from WebOS in some aspects, alot of the methods and tools are very similar but WebOS is structured alot differently. WebOS was the first mobile OS I wrote a kernel for before that I had messed with WinMo but not a whole lot and most of my knowledge was based around PC based platforms like unsecuring the windows kernel to allow for themeing of the ui and modding the system, and linux based OS' like redhat, debian, opensuse and ubuntu where I actually write or modify most of the programs I need or use. And the mobile version of Linux kernel is heavily modified and only vaguely resembles its parent. Once you get a feel for how things are structured and what controls what you'll get comfortable and get confident in your ability to mod and dev. I would help you more but im terrible at explaining stuff so others can understand. I can't verbalize what I'm thinking most of the time, its hard to collect my thoughts and put them down so they don't come out garbled up like I just vomited on the page :banghead:
