Locked bootloaders actually have some purpose... What you should really be focused on is the petition to make unlocking phone legal, as the US Government has made it illegal outside of an official carrier unlock
[General Topics] papi92:
There is no purpose of a locked bootloader
[General Topics] cyr0s:
Yes, there is.

Sure, it's inconvenient in the process of modding and nobody, I included, will argue in favour of things like Motorola's eFuse protection, but a locked bootloader provides security benefits.
[General Topics] alpha-niner64:
Locked bootloaders serve a purpose to the greater society as it is insurance against total devastation of the Phone OS. It's not a secret carriers use this to force "us" into their models and lock us out of our own phones, but I like the balance we have now. The market and community is handling itself just fine.

If there should be a law, it should benefit the greater society and not just a single group.

Hi people

I wanted to know how to port a rom that's working on a stock rom to naa's gb kernel

I want to try achtojan's semc debrand engine on naa's gb kernel

please help
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rempty:
SEMC debrand engine, use nAa -14 GB Kernel
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
I'm not sure what you're asking, but i guess you want to know how to get it working on the stock SE kernel? That is not possible, if you can't unlock your bootloader and use custom kernels you can't use that rom.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rawwr:
Lol

I already did all that

I meant

Semc debrand engine rom it is for stock kernel

Is there anyway to make it work on naa's gingerbread kernel?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rawwr:
But that is only for stock kernel

Its not working on naa's gb

Is there any way to make it work on naa's gb?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jay-z-s:
In my opinion it works on nAa -gb-14 too.

I don't know, it should be ported to nAa kerne, might be hard or easy. Ask the developer for more information

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillzillaAus:
It used to work perfectly for me in the car (the only time I use Bluetooth) to use the hands-free stuff with IceColdSandwich 8.8.

I've tried Jellybean 4.2.1 by Randomblame and CodefireX but it won't pair.

In both cases when I power-up the car it tries to connect to the phone, and each time the phone pets out a beep and asks for the pairing code. It then will not pair.

Any suggestions? I'd really like to get the hands-free stuff working again.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigscout79:
Tried this and rogue recovery, but I want to get up JB. So.. I used the easyoneclick and got rogue installed, then tried to flash the latest EOS4 at the time. That put me at the boot screen (4 color any boot animation) and never got any further.

So... I used the easy one click to restore stock, and that got me back to good for a few days, but still no JB.

So then I tried Goo manager and oddly enough it couldn't push the "recovery script" or what is actually twrp recovery. I was able to boot into recovery and push the GM downloaded twrp though.

So, now I have updated twrp (sort of through GM), and nightly EOS4 - but still stuck on boot animation - left it for 4 hours before I decided it wasnt' going to work. Any ideas? I was reading some about frameworks and I'm thinking that might be my problem, but I'm not finding any really good walkthroughs or advice. What can I try next? Any help greatly appreciated - Thanks!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodian:
I understand that. I think you would have better luck getting a sgs3 and getting aosp and touchwiz based ROMs before getting a touchwiz ROM on the nexus 4. I'm not saying tw on the nexus 4 won't happen, it could, but its not going to work perfectly. And considering that very few people here want a tw ROM I don't think any current developers are going to answer the call, especially since all the ones with the talent to make it happen have their own highly popular projects going on.

[Hardware Hacking General] kirbo719:
Curious whether handsets provide charge management so that lithium ion batteries get charged properly. -Or whether handset makers expect battery chargers to provide this function.

I want to build a solar charger for 5-volt devices such as cellphone handsets. A quick search of the web produces numerous simple, easily constructed circuits, but all seem to provide continuous 5 volts without performing any voltage or current tapering to complete a charge per recommendations of the battery industry.

FWIW: I intend to design the device using Radio Shack components. I intend the photovoltaic cell to first charge standard, readily-available rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells, probably 5-6 1.2v D or C cells wired in series. This will buffer or "bank" power so a handset could be recharged at the end of the day after the sun has set. Also, I believe even C cells would provide a couple charges, and D cells even more.

Certainly the circuit needs voltage regulation to provide ~5.4 volts. I need to know whether my circuit design needs to accomplish the charge "tapering off," or whether handsets have that function built in.

Thanks for information and input,

Bob in Colorado
[Hardware Hacking General] qubas:
If you want to charge a device via USB port it is enough to provide stable 5V. Circuit that manages charge process is already built in. If you were to charge a Li-Ion/LiPo battery directly (connect your charger directly to battery terminals) then you would need some kind of IC to manage charge process (for example: MAX1555)
[Hardware Hacking General] kirbo719:
Qubas,

Thank you for the information!

[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
Li-ions have built in over charge-deep discharge prevention circuit, and they do have a voltage regulator circuit too ( applies to all protected li-ions including mobile batteries, but absent in non protected cells) , u may give upto 1-3v more to protected cells than their native rated voltage but care should be taken not to fry up the circuit inside the cell package by giving more voltage. U may use 7805 ic ( use google to find the series with 1amp o/p @5v) to regulate the voltage to cell. If u are building a backup battery package, use protected 18650 li-ion with 1.8-2.5 amp at 3.7v ( use 2*18650 series combination + 7805 reg ic or 1*18650 + 1amp @5v booster circuit) , the advantages of li-ion is high discharge capacity, compact, etc..( google it to find more). See my portable charger thread here in hardware section( bit old thread).

Happy designing...

Greetings Showlyshah,

Wow! You have given me several good, new ideas. Thank you for the information. I will view the thread you mentioned.

Best!

Bob
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
Using a 7805 has lots of problems.

First of all it's only rated for 1 amp.

Second, the "drop-out" voltage can be as high as 7 volts.

With 7.4 nominal input that means there is not a lot of margin.

It also means that if it's putting out 1 amp, it's also wasting 2.4 watts in heat.

That's 67% efficiency, not that great.

In this day and age use a switching regulator.

There are lots of tiny circuit boards available.
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
I gave the easiest way. Less circuits, 7805 dont even need a pcb to build. There are a thousand other options. But i havent seen any thing as simple as 7805 yet. Its an old ic of course and hence have less efficiency. Lol we cant have 5star energy rating( common energy efficiency rating here) in 90's product!!!:o

Never heard of that..at least on our note. I have experienced a weird rabdom reboot. Not sure of the relevance between the two but still falls under the weird category. Some say avast security causes these things...

I have had the phome for about 10 days and it has happened about 5 times. the only thing that I have noticed that is it happens when I look at my phone after I get out of my car which makes me think it might have something to do with bluetooth because I have uconnect in my car. I am running stock rooted ljc and have already tried a fresh install and it still happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MaxGadgetGuy:
Ive had the exact same problem on stock LJC when I leave my car having used the phone with Bluetooth. The led is usually flashing and the screen is stuck off until a batter pull.

Yeah looks like the only setting is to show message on lock screen, but nothing to actually turn screen on when it arrives. I really only want this because I always have my phone on silent. When playing Xbox with headphones I miss everything :eek: but I guess that's a good thing lol.
