Re: [PORT][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Nexus S 4g

For stock kernel just wipe caches and install rom again.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

What MMS is working with this?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Effsi:
I see there's been an update addressing the lockscreen issue. hopefully I will get around to getting the update over here too tonight. I'll also throw in an MMS apk that should be more proper.

for the kernel, either reflash the rom, restore the kernel from recovery (if you made a backup), or take the kernel file out of the rom package and repackage it in another kernels install package.

Re: [PORT][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Nexus S 4g

I was not able to change the lock screen wallpaper. No biggie though . I also can confirm the themed MMS from Rusty's thread is working just fine here .
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Effsi:
does the themed MMS from rusty keep with the theming/bubble look of the native mms apk that comes with the rom? I thought this rom used a custom mms for compatibility with it's special themes. but if that's not the case and any mms apk will keep the same look/features of the native mms apk built for this rom, then that's great and can save me some time.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zackandethan:
Re: [PORT][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Nexus S 4g

Its not the same as the ROM bubbles but all the themed frames work . I flashed it to see if it worked but think I'm gonna re flash the ROM to get the stock one back along with the kernel. Really liking this ROM effis!

Re: [PORT][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Nexus S 4g

I was able to change lock screen wallpaper.. Try relflash fullwipe then format system. All gravy. This ROM is fast. Swiping to lock screen widgets is the smoothest and fastest I've ever witness.

Hi,

now i usually try to google the info that i need and resort to posting on forums for the last straw but this one got me.

long story short: got a desire from ebay, locked to orange. I tried to buy an unlock code from ebay (WHICH worked in the past with ~7 desires that i tried) and when i got it, the phone seems to accept it. Then the wierd stuff starts. it has no signal and after reboot it asks for the code again.... and again.......and again.... every time it accepts it and pretends we're friends but gives no signal whatsoever.

so today i tried the sim unlock utility ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943726 ) but when i connect the phone, ofc with debugging enabled, the utility doesn't see it (laptop with w7 64bit ran both as normal and administrator).

When i was creating this thread a similar thread poped up where a person checked his desire and found out that it was blocked by network. I checked the IMEI on checkmend and it is all green. nothing is blacklisted

info about the beast

rom: wildmild 5 / cm 7.0.2 before/after factory reset (tried both variations)

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT - 0.93.0001

RADIO - 5.10.05.30

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

ok everyone can throw a rock at me....

apperantly something was off with my drivers and that's why the unlocker didnt see the device, once i cleared that up everything was nice AND dandy....

this aprataus was sitting on my table for almost a year now, imagine how it feels to get to know that it's just because of driver error (driver error = me being too lazy to double-check everything)

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

so this thread can be merged/deleted/locked. sorry for wasting forum space

Re: desire doesn't want to unlock from network

You have to install adb, fastboot and hboot drivers. Check the guide in my sig for fastboot+adb, and google for hboot drivers.

yep.....

forgot that it's a new lappy. i instaled/uninstaled htc sync + drivers from unrevoked (hboot stuff) and it did everything.... still strange that unlock codes didnt work....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
So I was thinking if going top of the line, and what I see is the Net gear R6300 WIFI router and th Lynksis AC 1750 wireless router. The both cost the same, but beyond that I'm lost. Can anyone help me decide?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hyelton:
Well let me ask this, Do you have any Clients that support the newer Wireless Standered? Otherwise its really a waste..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
No I don't, so which one is a waste?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hyelton:
Well Both of Them are pretty much a good amount of money wasted. Whats your Internet connection`s speed?

Also I would recommend the RT-56U Its both 2.4 and 5ghz dual band its the best one I`ve came across that has not been a break in the bank. I would just stay away from D-Link. If you want to stick to a big brand I Guess I would recommend the Linksys E3200 even though its kinda low end, The E4200 has had a good amount of problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] astang99:
I second the asus rt its what I use
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hyelton:
Yea Order the RT-56U on amazon MUCH CHEAPER! haha. i got mine a few months back on sale for $80 Brand new. First Router I havent wanted to load 3rd party firmware haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Ok here thebdea, I got both of them for a birthday present and I need on of them, so I'm gonna sell one of them and keep with one? Or should I sell both and get a downgraded model?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] R1K05@N:
More questions: Are you using this router for more than just Wi-Fi (data transfers, media streams/shares to home entertainment devices like XBox, AppleTV, PlayStation, etc)? Would you be pissed if you decided to get AC Networked devices and find that you only have an N router in the future? Is money no object? Are you going to run any hardwires to your router for said data transfers/media streams/shares?

If yes to any of these (except for the last question... that would be fine with any gigabit wired router), go for broke. If not, go with the cheaper-now options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Thanks for all the replies, I'm gonna sell then both and downgrade to the above suggested router. All I use it for is wifi anyhow.

I'm a newbie with Android but I've managed to unlock the bootloader and root my device successfully. Now I wish to change my CID from TELUS001 to HTC__001. Ive been following this guide:

However in step 3 it seems to want to send the mmcblk0p4 file to the phone's sdcard which I don't have cause Im using an HTC ONE S.

Is there a way to send that mmcblk0p4 file to the phone's storage instead? Or is there some other way to change my CID to HTC__001?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esponges:
Hello,

i've reading a lot about all methods of flashing kernels via Odin and flashing new ROM's. I've my N7 rooted and running custom ROM and experienced several ROMs and kernels with my old Galaxy Ace.

Saying this. I've been searching around about ways of backing up

the exact image of my stock ROM

with operator logos at the beginning and everything like it came from factory since I would not be able to turn it back to warranty service if it doesn't run original stock ROM, which is not in the net -i've searched and have found nothing-.

If I flash let's say: Siyah kernel to avoid risk of bricking from 4.0.4 then root and create a nandroid backup image and then after running some ROMs I decide to run back to nandroid backup, the kernel that I would have had it would be siyah kernel with operator firmware, right?

Any idea, hint or advice would be strongly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
If you want to return to a stock rom, just flash it with Odin (roms are on www.sammobile.com and also here on xda). There are also ways to reset your flash counter. That would be all.

To answer your question: if you root your device with Siyah and you make a Nandroid back up, yes, your device will be running the stock rom with the Siyah kernel if you restore this after trying other roms/kernels.

Sent from the Matrix
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esponges:
Thanks for your reply, but in Samfirmware the firmware for my mobile company it's not uploaded so I would not be able to run back to original kernel. That's why I need to know if there's a way to backup the kernel or not losing in order to get cwm.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esponges:
I have found what it looks to be a free stock rom for my country running the same kernel than my mobile company kernel. Is it a way to just install the kernel from the file that samfirmware.com provides?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
My god, you guys are stupid. You cannot capture the difference in contrast and colors with the screenshot tool.

Also, the difference is most likely caused by the fact that your friend is using a custom rom that modified that gradient background that the stock ROM uses, or something like that.

you guys must understand that screenshot cannot capture REAL thing happen to your screen. It only take picture from GPU.

I think the background is the wallpaper lol. Anyone have the amazing spyderman game can test this, when you open the game, you can see 2 line with the same background with OP's friend.

If this is a bug, when you open a black picture you must see the same. Otherwise, it's normal.

Odp: Xperia S screen issue

As far as i know there are 2 companys that are making screens for Xperia S, and that screens are little bit different.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Yes. There is a gradient background in some places. It's not a screen issue. If it was a screen issue, you wouldn't be able to capture it with the screenshot tool anyway.

To test your screen, go into the service menu *#*#SERVICE]#*#* -> service tests -> display. It will cycle through black, white, R, G, B, and rainbow gradient with maxed out brightness, that way you can tell if your screen is defective. You will see that the black screen will be fully black (not oled levels of black though, for obvious reasons), and finally understand that that's just a background in your screenshots and not a screen issue.

The screen on the Xperia S is way better than most other phones, it has really vivid colors and non tinted whites (if you've ever seen a Samsung OLED device you know what I mean, whites are literally blue or pink unless you max out the brightness).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
You should never mount a disk (e.d. sdcard) prior to formating it.

You can erase the card and see if you are able to reformat it. In GNU/Linux:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

.. where /dev/sdX is the device of the sdcard. You'll see this issuing the "dmesg" command a few seconds after inserting the card into the computer. Once this is done, repartition and reformat the card using your favorite utilities.

You may double check this, by verify you get the same error code with the card inserted in your phone. Type "dmesg" at the shell prompt on your phone with the card inserted and look for the same message. This rules out any problems with your card reader or computer.
