Guys help me....i m not being able to flash this...it says cannot open update package (bad)

Installation aborted

Pls help me guys...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Yokav:
Maybe that the zip file is corrupt, try to download it again.

I see in your signature that you're using CM10, don't forget to reinstall stock rom before gimlo. ;)

AW: [ROM] [Tipo/ST21i] Gimlo - 0.2 {03/02/13}

No, you got the american version of Tipo. This afaIk is only for i=international version

Hit 'THANKS' if I helped you pleeez!

Gimlo 0.2 for Xperia Miro

Gimlo 0.2 for Xperia Miro​

I managed to port Gimlo 0.2 to Miro. It is exactly the same as Yokav's only for Miro. Same bloatware removed etc. I've kept all Yokav's mods including Status bar, lockscreen and so, just for tests because this is alpha. Works for both bootloaders. Please test - this needs testers and this is not tested.

Before you install you need to have:

1. Firmware: 11.0.A.5.5 - Look in my firmware post in general section.

2. Root

3. CWM (please use CWM and not TWRP to prevent problems cause this is test release)

- How to install - Look in Yokav's post.

- What is included in rom - Look in Yokav's post.

- Bugs - Look in Yokav's post and test.

Sorry for the download splitted in 5 parts. - I have bad connection. - Use winrar to unzip and flash.

I used 4shared so you should not have problems in download.

It is quite big in file size. - But that is because it is CUSTOMIZABLE - not because it is big/laggy/bloatware and so...

And last - This is not my work, I just managed to get it working on Xperia Miro - Yokav is the creator of the ROM.

Re: [ROM] [Tipo/ST21i] Gimlo - 0.2 {03/02/13}

Gimlo does not have these clocks...what to do to install them?

(i choose Apex launcher)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
Not fixed.It goes past the limit on the screen but the volume does not change.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Anybody want to test Gimlo for Miro? :\
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] cipjanin:
it worked well for me
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
It works when I used Apollo+.

Still, volume is too low.If you can implement a working DSPManager, and remove soundenhancements.apk and musicfx.apk completely, that would be awesome.DSPManager has an awesome EQ and some other features, being louder is one of them.

I tried every DSPManager there is, but none work, flashable zips including DSP's libs, DSPmanager.apk itself, the OLD dspmanager from GB, the one from CM9, NOTHING.Please find a way to make it work.

Could you please give me original boot.img and build.prop you used for gimlo miro port? :D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Huh? Gimlo is Stock rom mod (that means for both bootloaders). Those two files are same as Stock rom.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Neurom707:
i didn't use boot.img no point makes it easier and used build.prop from stock rom or you can use cm10 one both work for me
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] LoveForEver:

And META-INF folder?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
From Yokav. Change protection system to accept only Miro, though.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Neurom707:

Can we post port of this for miro

OP?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] LoveForEver:
Ok but could someone upload only meta-inf folder so i don't have to download the whole rom only for one folder?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kurotsugi:
just a lil suggestion...if this rom is based on stock rom then we don't have to pack the whole rom. instead of it we can put only the modified files/folder into your rom. in most cases, we only modify the files in /app, /framework, /lib, and /etc folder. if we only pack the modified files/folder we can make our rom installation file a lot smaller. easier for you to upload it and easier for us to download it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
since you made that clearbass mod, do you think it would be possible to port DSPManager to the stock ROM/Gimlo in this case?DSP is very loud, but whenever I put it on stock ROM it just crashes.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Yokav:
Hey all,

Sorry for the delay. I'm going to cook the next version during this weekend. :)

@ljubishata

As random hero told you, the version 0.2 of Gimlo is not compatible with ST21a, that's why you've a warning during the install wizard.

But it will be compatible in next version.

@Option58

Thanks for the port of the rom to xperia miro. I will add your version into the first page. ;)

@Steam.

A friend used the patch and here's what it told me: now, he've a warning when he hit the 3/4 of the volume, he've to press yes (not sure of this) and then he can continue to increase the volume. But he doesn't use the acid audio engine. Do you used the stock sound system or acid mod?

@Neurom707

Yes you can post your port. ;)

@kurotsugi

Thanks for this interesting suggestion. It will have some advantages but some disadvantages also, here's what I think first:

+ Smaller package. Interesting for everyone. :p

+ The rom will only contain the modified file, so it should but more easy for me. It will be more clear, also for those who want to modify it.

- The update-script is already long and it will be even more. And it will be more complex, so it's a risk of unwanted errors.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Yes! That's great idea...no replacing system folder.

Gimlo only copies needed files in system. Example for root it copies su in xbin folder and superuser.apk in app folder.

We can achieve all that with Aroma.

That is how single Gimlo zip would work on Miro/Tipo/Dual and J ...And would be small in size :D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] djedjy:
Yokav, make sure you include new framework for tipo, which support nxt lockscreen :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] LoveForEver:
how did you get stock update-script?

Did you write it by hand?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
@Yokav

But how could we delete bloatware and deodex the rom???

Aroma must first replace app and framework folder and then install...

But then it would not be compatibile with 4 devices at once...

What do you think - first we make deodex and remove bloatware flashable zip (Miro,Tipo,Dual,J) - So 4 zips.

And then Gimlo zip...

Are you going to do than to Gimlo. It will surely solve device compatbility problems.

It should not be too complicated. I am willing to help if I can!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Yokav:
@Option58

In fact, the aroma configuration will not change, it's the update process (update-script). I will have to play with instructions for deleting old files and maybe apply new permissions.

I just think to an important disadvantage, it's impossible to make a real fresh install of the rom. Flashing the stock rom through flashtool will become an obligation!

So... I'm ready to start to cook the new rom but not I'm not sure on how I want to do it...

@djedjy

Yes, it seems that many new interesting things are available for our tipo. :D I will try to find and include all of them.

edit:

@LoveForEver

The initial update-script was coming from the stock version and the I modified it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
That is not so important I think. The gratest benefit is compatibility with all devices and small size. Steps would be clean install, deodex and bloatware zip (for 4 devices) and Gimlo aroma.

Or example - you write on updater-script factory reset line and DON'T INSTALL IF YOU HAVE MODDED SYSTEM FOLDER.

But you'll have to play with updater-script a lot! Example you will have to note on some steps (if you are running Tipo Dual choose option: Tipo Dual). Or choosing between CWM - you know there are 3 different CWM for all devices and 3 different TWRP. So 6 options :\

Will have to play a lot :\ But it will be good - in the end.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Yokav:
I have a very mixed opinion, I hesitate too much... So I will not do it for the next version of Gimlo. But why not for a future version.

I'm thinking to the end user who want to play with the rom, try some different configuration or just install a new version.

He can't just reboot to CWM and directly install a new version, he will have to go through the flashtool process, so rooting the phone and install CWM manually again. That's a real pain.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
But why flashtool first? That is not required.

If you want a "clean rom experience", you can add "factory reset" line in coming from Stock rom option :D

You can add "coming from previous release line" without factory reset.

But if coming from another rom, then yes, flashtool needed :\

Of course you won't do it with the next release, it requires a lot of tests/changes.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Yokav:
It's not so easy, take the case of someone who already install the rom a first time and want to install it a second time to try a different configuration, which should be a common case. (Try another audio or camera mod for example)

He can make a factory reset but it will not be enough. As it only clean the /data folder, it will not remove all the modifications made during the first install to the /system folder.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Here is my Gimlo idea:

- Users install root and CWM

- Users flash deodex and remove bloatware zip for their device

- Users flash universal Gimlo zip

Aroma:

Please select:

1. CWM - Miro
2. CWM - Tipo
3, CWM - J

2. TWRP - Miro
2. TWRP - Tipo
3. TWRP - J

Please select:

1. Root with Superuser app
2. Root with SuperSU app

Do you want lockscreen mod:

1. Yes
2. No

WARNING: If you have Xperia Neo select "no"
Only compatibile with Xperia Arc

And so...​

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If want different configuration yes :\

The solution may be: Deodex and remove bloatware zips contain whole "system" partiton...But contain only "deodex and remove bloatware" everything else (root,cwm etc.) is installed by second "Aroma" zip. And they must be flashed one after another (so users won't lose CWM).

But we are back at the beginning...Only more devices are compatibile.

What do you think?

That is how "System" partition is reflashed and it is safer.

And you wouldn't have to make new deodex zips each release. Only new "Aroma" zips.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kurotsugi:
there are several dsp manager in this forum. some of them didn't work but some of them just working fine. you only need to find the working one. I'll try to find the one I used. the most disanvantages of using it is that dsp manager didn't use our system's system libs. you'll lost your clear bass and the 6 equalizer. DSP might sounds louder but the sound clarity and the stereo effect isn't as good as our native sounds. my best combination is always clear bass sound libs with the newest equalizer app in my old thread. it gives both louder and clearer sound with stronger bass. our stock earphone is good enough for average music but it doesn't have good response on low frequencies. you might need a better earphone to maximize the bass.

@yokav: yup...it needs some modification on the updater-script. it strictly depends on how you arrange the script but we only need to add less than 10 lines one the script. the other idea is using modules. we can have one basic rom and the modification as modules separated in different zip file. the main advantages will be the file is a lot smaller and the user don't have to download unused part. on the other hand, the installation procedure might need more steps and the devs need to upload several files instead of one. however, if we use this method, when we have updates for the rom, we only have to modify and upload the main rom file. this is a good method for rom devs if they intend to gives periodic updates for their rom. almost all rom devs in my old forum use this method.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
I don't use the stock headset, I use an in ear from an older sony ericcson, it's one of the best in ears atm.If you can find the DSP that worked for you, please link it.I've tried several ones that included the DSP's libs and it still crashed.Even just the apk, still crashes.I'm gonna try the clearbass mod again, but I do not expect any improvements.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kurotsugi:
as requested...

dsp manager with beats themed version

a litle equalizer app I've been used for a long time

the first app is dsp manager, beats themed, and a lil bit tweaked to add more options. the second app you can find it at market named as com.devdnua.equalizer. I only themed it without touching the code inside it just for a hobby.

EDIT: anyway, the second app is a new app and its the first time I've uploaded it into this forum. if you're using my old app (this one) you don't have to delete it. both app could work at same time and multiply the effect for louder sound. even though the sound quality might dropped, some of you might want to try it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
Sorry but none work, it's like there's no EQ and the sound is SO DULL.They're not even being enabled, I'm pretty sure it uses the stock ****.

Hi,

I have one question regarding the S Note app.

As you already know, it's possible to insert a picture into a note, or take a photo and insert it into the note.

My very specific question is:

How can I see the picture just inserted into the note with the Gallery application?

I tried almost everything, but it seems that a picture (or photo) once inserted into a note can be seen only by zooming the note with 2 fingers.

Have anybody find a way?

P.S. A video inserted into a note can be seen (played) by touching it when the note is not open for editing.

Regards,

Stefan

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanjadex:
Glad to hear that somebody found the same thing... But sadly that it seems to be true.

What's the point if you cannot have the full picture after inserting it in a note?

I'm starting to be disappointed about S Note. It showed to be a nice app in the beginning.

Regards,

Stefan

Ok I exhausted all options I could find in the forums to fix this issue. I lost My IMEI and ERI. I was able to get the IMEI back using the Samsung repair tool. The phone works fine (text, phone data) its just telling me I am roaming. I have tried all tools, RevSkills (tells me the EFS subsys is locked) Tried the samsung repair tool and click repair ERI (tool freezes and becomes unresponsive) . Tried QPST (that worked but ERI version still none and I have the little triangle on my 4g. I tried the reprovision, but the menu must be disabled or something because nothing happens when I put that in the dialer. Any guidance would be appreciated. I am running 4.1.1 stock rooted. Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmatty14:
FIXED!!!!

Ok everybody. I think I got this fixed finally. Heres what I did

Figure it out yourself.....J\K :)

I am not sure if you will have to, but I Odined back to ICS because you also need to downgrade your Modem (will explain below). Not sure if those modems work with JB.

First I used the Repair IMEI tool found here to get my IMEI fixed. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1867442&highlight=subsys

(this is where I was stuck) Like I said before you need to downgrade your modem. For some reason the the new modems lock the EFS Subsys. You will get that error in Revskills if you dont downgrade. I Odined VRLF2 found here - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-modems-vrlk3-verizon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/

Next I used the Revskills program found on the same page (copy the ERI file and unzip it also you will need that) to fix my ERI. Watch the youtube video linked on that page and it will show you how to do it. It was really easy. Reboot and you should have ERI Version 5 with no roaming!!!

Let me know if you have any questions, I am not very good at tutorials as I am usually the one reading them :)

There's no need of tutorials for editing pngs....

I'll tell you now...

Copy systemUI or framework-res from your mobile to pc. Extract it.

Now check the dimensions of the PNG you want to replace and remember the folder.

Now chose your image...change it's dimensions....rename it to the same name as of original file.

Drag your new files into the new folder directly in the apk using 7zip or winrar.

Replace your apk with default one in the system and you are done
