Re: [MOD/THEME][ALL XHDPI] Brushed Metal Themé

After a huge little study, found that the Xperia V uses a slightly different framework and libs than that of T, TX, S and Ion. That's why Xperia V includes new walkman with clear phase etc before anyone. These apps are a JB update. Since the device is released at a later date, Sony Mobile had decided to include a taste of their future release.

Perhaps this is the reason for the incompatibility.

Thread Updated! Thank you

Would you be able to make the theme compatible with the Xperia V?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ARNOB:
Definitely YES. But I'd need a stock theme to test with at first. Can you share the Sapphire theme - BlackThemeBlueAccent.apk?

Alright, here it is.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ARNOB:
Just as i said, the apk is totally different! Try the flashing the attached ZIP. If this works, I'll make more of them including Skyfall. Please post some screenshots, especially from settings and theme chooser.

I can't manage to mount the /system to put the skyfall.apk there, I've tried with CMW-based recovery and few g'apps which claimed to mount system r/w. The folder wasn't in file explorer in computer nor in file explorer in xperia. I've even tried to flash to Syiah, to try mounting system from another kernel, it resulted in half brick, managed to get it right.

Any tips? Also how does one give permissions to a file?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ARNOB:
Re: [MOD/THEME][T/TL/TX] Brushed Metal Themé

Use root explorer, get it from play store.

And the permission for this file would be,

x-x-o

x-o-o

x-o-o

Where x represents a tick and o represents blank

Good luck!

Okay so I've used Root Browser Lite instead of Root Explorer if it makes any difference, the overlay/framework path wasn't there so I made it manually, pasted the .apk there with 0644 permission. After reboot it doesn't show up in Theme Chooser.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ARNOB:
Re: [MOD/THEME][T/TL/TX] Brushed Metal Themé

Since JB is not yet released on my phone, I had not touched any JB apk.

Like before I mentioned, XV ICS was 80% JB in terms of apps and so the ICS test version works ;)

I'll provide more themes and mods as soon as I get JB.

Good news is that from your screenshot, it seems that there are two Sapphire themes i.e the signature do not conflict. So we get the opportunity to have more theme without replacing old ones :D

Hi,

My phone has a problem, i hope someone can help me, it started about a month ago,

When i slide the keyboard the screen would freeze, the image would freeze or sometimes it would become like this:

http://www.esato.com/board/img.php?id=140762 ( this is not my phone its just a pic i found)

This problem would be solved it i gently slide the keyboard back in, the screen would be back to normal, sometimes i had to slide it out and it

alot of time to make it work.

Well, today i woke up, with the screen of my phone all messed up ( like in the picture), i slide it out and in alot of times but no luck.

I turned my phone off, when i turned it on, the screen doesnt lighted up or showed something, the phone just vibrates, i took off the battery and tried again but no luck.

I read somewhere that i could be the flex cable, so i ordered one, but its gonna take some time to arrive.

Disassembling the front of the phone is a pain. I'm a fan of spending $40 on ebay on a broken phone (where the screen still works just fine) and swapping out the fronts. That will get you a new flex cable as well. Otherwise, you risk having to get a new flex cable *and* a new LCD.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gamerka:
Agreed. First time disassembling front I was scared not to OVERheat phone internals. I ripped in half trackpad ribbon, damaged lcd back cover and got a lot of problems from it.

Then I bought broken phone with good front, but dead LCD. Second time I just lost it, I heated phone so hard that I got burns on my fingers, but it was worth it, LCD glue came off soo nice.

So better to overheat, then underheat when disassembling front LCD.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smmoph:
I had cm7 on for a long time with usb mass storage working and adb etc. Then I went with an early ver. of cm9 and found no usb connection or sd mount was possible. Months later i gave to my gf who wanted photos on it. But windows has not detected it. So I tried to update with cm10 and it was advised to update my twrp to 2.2.2.1. But upon using this new version of twrp I noticed I could only restore a backup I made. That worked. But the flashing of the cm10 rom did not, The touch screen was not responding at all, there.I rebooted into twrp and retried to flash the cm10 with still no screen response so I pressed reboot and saw "bootloader" and pressed it instead of reboot or sysem or plain shutdown. Thus my brick. I read much and guess i was stuck in fastboot mode and w/o any adb detection by windows 7 went with Linux usbboot shorting trick. Made the usb stick boot up to ubuntu and tried firekit and soupkit to no avail. Always showed Waiting for device!. Of course the back was off and pin shorted on mobo. Minutes later I notice all lights of kindle fire are out. No more Triangle or anything! Pc usb cable does not power it on nor does my battery charger in ac or solo w/battery. This is what I can recall from last 3 days.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Ok, the reason I ask...

Your device is either in USBboot or you didn't install a bootloader properly. At first glance it seems it's the latter. In Firekit, select "usb_install_fff_twrp". If it just sits at "waiting for OMAP4 device" you'll need to use the shorting trick to detect the device and get the bootloader installed properly. Afterwards, if I were you, I would use recovery to install the latest version of FFF before rebooting.

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smmoph:
I will try when the Kindle fire turns on. Rather, if it ever powers up. Thanks for your time and response.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
No, you misunderstood. The device already powers up (even though it doesn't seem like it), it just doesn't have a working bootloader. Without a working bootloader, the only way you can communicate with the device is to put it in USBboot.

There's a possibility it is already in USBboot (unlikely) and Firekit will send commands anyway. Otherwise, you need to use the shorting trick to temporarily put it in USBboot long enough for Firekit to work.

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."

On another route, What if I buy a new KF 1st Gen. from a retail store and put this bricked one in the new box with cords, papers etc. and return it within the full refund time would I stand a chance at getting refunded? Also since it won't light up could I claim it is simply bad hardware section of the unit? Plus would it eventually get torn down ,Amazon..where they might see it was rooted and registered by me?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I have a better idea. Why don't you take some personal responsibility for a problem YOU created and either fix it yourself, send it to someone who can, or suck it up and cut your losses?

I could go on all day about the moral, let alone the practical, implications of how such a decision will impact the community as a whole, but we both know that would be a complete waste of my time.

Do as previously suggested or not, but don't complain when it becomes increasingly harder to make a device, one that you've spent your hard earned money on, your own.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Just thought i'd post an inquiry after having it drive me nuts now. I'll try to describe it but the subject should be descriptive enough! :)

Basically what happens, you go to dial a number (or dial from contacts) and the phone calls out then hangs up (hangup tone) then quickly dials your intended number. When you look at the call log you see 2 calls, one being 0min 0sec then the next one right after with the amount of time you spent on said call.

I saw this in another thread and decided to make a thread about the topic instead of clouding up that one:

I have directdial feature on my SIM which allows me to dial international numbers directly. My AT&T MVNO includes international calls - H2O Wireless but you normally needs a access number, their new SIMs got direct dialling now and I think that's what's causing the double dial thing.

When i dial an international number it sends me to the access number then my phone pops up a toast that says "Sending" which then sends the actual number i'm calling. It then connects after some information about the call. I think it does this for all calls on the N4 but then drops the first call to the access number and dials the number straight to the local number instead.

What's weird however is i don't have that issue with my SGS2 and the NEW SIM cards so it's something with the N4.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/236548-solavei-google-voice-2.html

Seems to be going on there too with the double dialling issue but obviously with a different provider.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amenoufy:

You're absolutely right, I had noticed the same issue but never really thought of checking the call log. After reading your post I checked my call log and every single outgoing call had been logged twice. The first had a zero second duration and the other had the actual call duration.

I've had a similar issue. I'll type in the number hit send, then after i put the phone to my ear I hear it dial the number and I get nothing until I end the call. In the call log, it shows 0min 0sec but it's not duplicated. Strange thing is that it only happens when I dial a toll free 877 number. It's never happened on local or long distance call or on 866 numbers. Haven't tried an 800 number yet.
