I've been MOD'ing .apk files reciently (usually changing 1-3 .xml file edits to add mod's to newer UVDLJC files...

After using Apktool to decompress .apk's

I noticed in ALL apk's res\values\bools.xml (looks like you can add lines or change things)

also while looking at Settings /data/data folders (most .xml files use example below)

<boolean name="lock_sounds" value="false" />

<boolean name="haptic_feedback" value="true" />

<boolean name="dualclock_settings" value="false" />

<boolean name="assisted_gps" value="false" />

<boolean name="allow_mock_location" value="true" />

boolean sounds similiar to bools.xml

Can settings be added there ? If not, where ?

I'd love to change many default settings (get rid of 1st prompts) and customize stuff

any advice would be great!

I do pleanty of CSC codes and get that

I've tried many times to add data\data\ folder setting changes and changed permissions (but apps always over write my custom settings)

-this sometimes works if i do it manually and set permissions, but not from flashing in recovery!

Or use some file cloud, like GDrive. But I think he meant "install app from apk". To do this, check the "unknown sources" in developer settings and then just open the apk, it will install.

Hi.

I'm a java developer who wants to start to develop and learn cyanongenMod and AOSP. Start by saying that I have a good knowledge of Java and Android development but little knowledge of programming and debugging in C / C ++

I have readed all the documents from AOSP sites and following the guide found on source.android.com.I was able to setup Eclipse for all the Java applications

Pros: I can study the whole Java nature of Android and Cyanogenmod, using eclipse as a "code browser"

Cons; unable to edit the layout.xml (for example) and unable to use the Android feature of an eclipse project

It could be nice for Java developing, but for the others projects and OS parts there isn't a "IDE setup guide". I am a little bit confused about how the general development workflow goes. The build procedures for every device found at CM wiki are great but...after that?

How to develop, modify and debug a single Java Application on a real device?

How to develop, modify and debug a c/c++ driver or patch for a real device?

If I want to work only on a single Java application, I can't import it in Eclipse. If I want to debug on a real device (for example, the photosphere feature in Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 does not work), I can't setup a debug environment.

Where I can find a good guide-site-tutorial ?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash_node:
Hey guys..

Tried to find same question here if it's posted.. but not.. so here goes.. A bit of a long type.. but please do bear with me.

I bought xoom wifi while i was in Japan from Au KDDI. But now I am posted in a different country. (we are talking about almost 5 hours of GMT) difference . And in this country, they don't even have a Motorola official dealer. So professional tech support is WAY WAY out of the question and a luxury hard to come by.

Here's the problem... I am sure this must have been asked somewhere else.. nevertheless.

I have been having the Xoom wifi for over a year now and it's been working darn perfectly. It has gone with me through desserts to snow capped mountains and literally been to both Hell and Heaven and worked Solidly without a wisp of a problem. Always have been rough hardy and like a thoroughbred horse which never had let me down when I needed the most. I just love this device so darn much.

Last night., i took some pictures and was using an app to "hide" them. (well., not of the obvious type you are thinking) but more related to medical evidence. There were some 300 odd pics so it was taking time. I left the xoom to finish it..... when i picked it up later.. the work was finished but now my entire gallery was showing as "no images / videos".. also all the MP3 were shown as missing but actual files were there in the folders.

I searched the web and it said that I have to "force stop" the "Image gallery" service in the settings > applications> all menu (name could be wrong as I can't remember it now) and allow the xoom to rebuild it's gallery references.

Did so.. and...nothing happened.. still the Gallery shows as "no images / videos"

So... did the next obvious thing of shutting down the device and tried to restart it.

well .. that was it

Xoom doesn't restart... no logo is showing ... nothing.. complete dead. I am sure i have more than 75% of the battery.

Tried all the key combinations of up, down , power keys... numerous times and in duration.. nothing. I charged the battery till the green light comes up..then tried some more variations..

Then suddenly, i heard my email notification sounds.... and the skype chat sounds.... when I checked the wifi router.. it shows that the xoom is connected. So basically the device is switched on and working perfectly it seems without display.

I really have no way of getting professional tech help at least for another 6-7 months. Can't ship it out as it would be cheaper for me to buy a new one. and to top it all, my warranty is over last June.

the device is as it's bought .. no modifications, rootings or flashing done to it. Just the usual updates rolled out only.

If the device had a slow death.. i would accept it and even would give it a proper farewell with a bouquet of flowers as it had been through a lot with me. But this sudden drop dead act is something I cannot accept.

So.... HELP... greatly appreciated.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash_node:
Problem solved.

Let me jot down the process here for future reference if anyone else come up with the same problem

My problem = Xoom working ( i can hear the notifications, chat sounds etc)... but no display. No display what so ever at all... Nothing.. zip.. zero..

Tried and Failed = soft reset, volume up down combo buttons, holding them down for varies duration of times... cursing colourfully, threatening with abandonment and death, shaking it violently and blasphemy against the all mighty with a "Y u No work xoom" face !! ... non of that worked.

Solution = I narrowed it down to three problems.

1. Battery gone kaput !

2. The power button had worn or broken off

3. Display cables are at a fault

So..i figured that I have to rip it open to get a look at these and thanks to ifixit... got the guide.... and burrowed a set of tools from a friend

1. Took the cover off... and the top cover off as well.. so left with a half naked xoom

2. Checked the power button carefully... to see if there were any faults... NOP .. it was working fine

3. Moved on the to next .. battery ... seems ok (actually there was no way of checking it.. but it looked fine and the connectors were ok) so I figured that its ok and best not to fiddle with it.

4. well.. the connector cable seemed fine... but unlike what they have it in ifixit.. mine were separate cables attached (not as a ribbon) .. and i felt that it might be the cause of the problems as it seems have got a little rusty and seems to have moisture on it.

5. "Hey.. babe... where's your nail polish remover?? " .. with that question.. got it for "free" and carefully dabbed it and started cleaning the cables.

6. Half way through and ... "THERE WAS LIGHT" ... the screen just lit up

7. Have a smug on your face for actually "fixing" something without breaking it more beyond repair....take away all the death threats...thank the lord and make a deal with him to forget the things you said as you didn't mean it... check if all your data is till there without being mucked up.....walk like a boss showing people or spouse "see I bloody fixed it.. who da man now eh???"

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elltg:
Hello, been a long time reader from my G1 to my G2 and now my nexus 4.

I am unfortunately not able to use my device on certain wifi networks which is a real bummer.

Being that i have a background in diagnosing computer problems in my real world life, i thought i would post my findings as i found some interesting things!

First i will say that the network i will use as the demonstration is secured with WPA2 PSK AES security and encryption.

I can connect to it and often find i have problems on the first connect to the network. By this i mean if i have made my wifi settings 'forget the network' and then try to connect again.

On the first time it seems to indefinitely hang, showing the message 'authenticating' on screen next to the network and if i long press on the network name and press modify, the dialog shows that i have a link speed of 1mbps.

I can usually get past this by turning wifi off and on and then reconnecting, at which point it will connect straight away and have a normal link speed. (in this example 72mbps).

After i am connected, i find that the following does not load:

-browsing webpages through chrome does not load

-the wifi icon turns grey

-play store cannot load anything

I find that i get assigned an ip address by dhcp correctly too with the right gateway and dns.

I decided to download a network tool to have a better look. I use fing personally.

I found it very interesting what i found, which no other threads about wifi issues mention.

Network discovery found every device on the local wifi network.

I was able to scan the services of my computer which is also on the network and it found everything, including a http server which i run which i could browse to.

In fact i could do everything through wifi with this device and most others.

Again it got interesting when I then took a look at my gateway, the router.

I had discovered its mac address which i can verify through my computer is correct which to my understanding, being that i can communicate through the wifi, means that i have the information available to send information to that physical device?

When trying to scan services, i find nothing, which is not true, at the very least it exposes a http server on port 80 which my computer can access.

When trying to ping i have 100% packet loss.

So at this point it is only the gateway i cannot access.

So i figure i could setup another computer which is connected to the network with a wire to share its connection through wifi onto that network and then i have a standin gateway?

I connected this computer through wifi to the network and pinged it succesfully with my phone. I then turn ICS on my wired adaptor to share to my wifi adaptor. I ensure that the wifi maintains an ip address in the right range and subnet.

I then try to ping that ip with the phone and it then gets 100% packet loss.

Could this be that when a device is configured to act as a gateway something changes about how it handles any packets sent to it that the nexus 4 is currently in compatible with?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elltg:
I have found a bit of a workaround that i can use!

When i said i turned on the wifi and ICS i did the following:

-Turned on wifi.

-Connected to wifi network.

-Turned on ICS on my wired network to share to my wifi

-Observed that my ip changed from 192.168.10.x to 192.168.137.1 with no gateway or dns.

-I decided to change my ip on the wireless to 192.168.10.x and gateway to my router 192.168.10.10

-I then tested.

I ran through this again but slightly different:

-Turned on wifi.

-Connected to wifi network.

-Turned on ICS on my wired network to share to my wifi

-Observed that my ip changed from 192.168.10.x to 192.168.137.1 with no gateway or dns.

-I decided to change my ip on the phone to 192.168.137.5 with gateway and dns as 192.168.137.1

-I then tested. And it works!

I know this doesnt fix the wifi issue itself, but for me, this makes a big difference as i can now use wifi at work where we also have poor mobile network coverage.

Edit:

Additionally i previously tried to setup this same computer to host a wifi network to share the connection using 'netsh' and creating a 'hostednetwork' but i found i was in the same situation where i still couldnt get the internet.

Now, after a lot of reading in this forum and other, my bootloader is:

if any have a idea...
[HTC Desire S] Jedioscuro:
Have you tried to full wipe your partitions and then install the 3.2.1 Miui? I had no issue doing that. Probably you can't flash the 3.2.1 version on the 2.9.11 since they are very far in time one another.

I don't get why you have a "locked" bootloader and still S-OFF, but since you are able to flash roms I would say it isn't an issue.

No. He means out of 4.5 hrs uptime, battery stats are telling him he's had screen on for ~2 hrs of that, but he says he's only had the screen on for 15-20 mins.

OP - Forget about the % for screen on, what does it say for 'time on' when you press 'screen' in battery settings ? For example, my uptime is 2H 23M, my screen % is 36% (which would work out at ~50 mins) which is inaccurate as I've hardly had the screen on in that 2 & a bit hrs, but when I check 'screen on' it is accurate @ 4M 16S.

oh, I see.

40 % of the battery usage it was causes by the screen....if you were at 100 % and now it's 90 % battery usage would be 10 %. Screen took 40% of the drain so it caused 4 % of the overall drain, with 90 % left to drain that is.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Gaston's explanation is better. Using his maths, your uptime is 270 mins, 17 % is how much battery you've used (17% of 270 = 45.9) & screen time is 40 % of that (0.4* 45.9 = 18M 36 S). Probably not absolutely exact, but close enough. Battery stats are an approximation at best anyways (as clarified by Google).
