Subject: NT / XDA Serial connections

From: Ric

Date: 07 Jan, 2003 12:08:08

Hi

I am also having major NT/XDA serial connection problems on my

work laptop.

I am using a genuine sync and charge serial cable.

If I try the serial sync on my Me machine it connects.

The com1 port is coming back as available, but will not sync

It looks like an NT issue and I would really apppreciate any

help in resolving it.

Thanks

Ric

[MOD][HELP] Modding framework-res on CM 10.0 - removing emergency call & carrier info

Hello everyone,

As per title, I'm trying to edit the xml in framework-res apk. Why? Because I'm turning my old Cappy into a music player, so I'm removing lots of stuff using Titanium Backup. I removed all phone-related functionality, therefore I don't need emergency call buttons, carrier info, and things like those :D .

I used apktool to unpack the framework.

Then I edited the relevant files(

res\layout\keyguard_screen_password_portrait

), setting 0.0dip in width and height to the buttons and the textview.

Then I recompiled, and installed the new framework from recovery with a custom zip file.

NB. I edited the password lockscreen because I need to use it for an app!

Installation and reboot work fine, but.. that damn button and carrier info won't go away. :(

There must be something wrong in what I do, ie maybe I'm editing the wrong xml, or something like that.

I've put the original and modded framework as attachments, so if anyone is willing to give a look into them and maybe help, there they are :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennyTSV:
I know that this is like 1 year after the original post. I finally went into that file with the name you mentioned.... in my ice cream sandwich framework-res.apk .... then put in these lines... (the replacement)...

android:id="@id/emergencyCallButton" android:paddingRight="16.0dip" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip"

Then recompiled the apk. And then I injected (using 7zip) the compiled ''keyguard_screen_password_portrait.xml" file from the newly compiled apk into the original apk. All I needed to then do was to use Root Explorer app to pop the 'mostly-original' framework-res.apk back into /system/framework

Then just restart the phone, or just put the phone into sleep mode or blank-screen mode for a bit, then allow it to come back on....then the emergency button was gone. I now know that the correct file to edit is 'keyguard_screen_password_portrait.xml', which is the one you mentioned. Somebody on the net was mentioning 'keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml', but focusing on 'keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml' is a total waste of time for ICS. The file to edit for ICS is 'keyguard_screen_password_portrait.xml'.

Who cares, still relevant!! I'm going to try and do the same as you did, hope it will work :) Thanks a ton!!

went to bed last night and woke up and my phone when plugged in the charger just vibrates every 3 seconds and does nothing. i can get it to download mode but not into recovery even after a reflash via ODIN i tried the LK3 and LG1 original firmware's

any help or insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
i would flash again in odin but make sure auto reboot is NOT checked. you may have tried that already. have the back of the phone off. after a successful flash, pull the battery immediately. after you insert the battery back in, vol up/home/power combo for recovery. release that power button as soon as you get a vibrate. just trying to start from the beginning again with you, bro

let me know
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
trying that now. did take it to at&t real quick got it to boot as soon as i got to the start screen to setup google and what not immediate shut off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
even doing it that way still unresponsive when booting unplugged, plugged in it will vibe every 2 seconds still and holing the home,vol up and power boots to samsung screen with blue letters sating recovery mode and shuts back off
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
try flash either cwm or twrp recovery.img and see(assuming you can still get back in download mode)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
just flashed CWM Via ODIN and still a no go same problems still.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
one other thing is i know the battery is charged but if i just leave it plugged in i get the battery symbol with the circle in the center and it wont power on with out being plugged in
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
when you flash, did you uncheck auto reboot and reset time?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
the reset time was checked still ill re-flach the factory image without both checked and see what happends
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
still seems to be doing it. idk what the guy at at&t did but i atleast got the start screen but immediate shutdown after that
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
if flash stock rom with odin (with both reset time and auto reboot unchecked) or take out battery(~1 min) or flash recovery.img doesnt work,

then my suggestion is you bring it back to him lol...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
flashed that method, will only do anything plugged in and it shows the battery charging and when i do any botton methods it boots and goes to samsung screen then galaxy s III screen and shuts down and back to battery charging screen
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
you can't get in download mode while plugged in

unplug your phone, vol down + home + power

and then replug your phone and odin back to stock
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
with it unplugged its totally dead. plugged in i can go into download mode and attempt recovery although it never actually goes in
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
try fully charge it first, it might be auto shutdown due to insufficient battery
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
it shows about 90% when the battery charging icon is up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrnovanova:
I had a similar problem once. Battery was dead. Popped in a fresh one and it worked. Just saying.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
tried with 2 brand new fully charged batteries. think im going to take it to at&t and see what they will do, or send it to JTAG

Do i have to partition sd card on hd2 because i use a 2g card and when i partition it i lose storage space
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
no you dont have to partition it, only if you intend to use either data/apponEXT type scripts to increase internal storage (apps run better from EXT than being moved to sd in the normal way)

If you have a tmous then no, I wouldn't bother. If you have reg, i used to have a 1/2 gig ext on a 2gb card and moved only the data/apps to EXT, not the whole data partition.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htchd12:
i would say use partition sd.

i used every time it give more space and run faster.

sry for my bad englis.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iphuang:
It depends on the ROM you are going to use. My guess is your 2g microsd card is old and not speedy (lower than class 6). I recommend you to install light-weighted ROM, i.e. CM7 (android 2.3.7). If you try Sense ROM, you have to cut a EXT partition. You will also noticed some slowdown of the system.

Hi

Samsung roms comes with a system app named MusicFX. This app is the core app for the built in 5 band equalizer and effects. The only problem is that the app does not have a user interface, so without a music player that can make use of MusicFX, it is pretty much useless.. There are many equalizer apps on google play, but non of them works on Sammy JB. I've tested many of them, until I came across a free app called Equalizer FX:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devdnua.equalizer.free&feature=search_result

Of course this app did not work on Sammy JB either (and did not work well on ICS because many music players did not support it, so it only worked if you use it to play single file at a time). However, after de-compiling thus app, I noticed that it has very similar code to the MusicFX system app from Sammy JB (XWLSD build). So I decided to make an experiment and replaced the similar smali files of Eq FX by the ones from Our MusicFX (LSD). After trial and error and some label renaming and modifications, I got it to work on our JB.

Moreover, I also inverted the app with cool JB reloaded blue theme and I disabled the built in ad banner (Since this app is now only compatible with Sammy JB roms, I'm guessing this ad blocking does not violates forum rules.. If Mods think otherwise, just let me know and I will replace it with a version that includes ads just like the Google play free versions. Note that this modded app uses the free version package).

The app is signed so you may install it as any other app.

I tested it with many music players including default and poweramp and it works. I also tested it with voice call from speaker and it is working.

Here is the link to download:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/58987384/EqualizerFX_Mod.apk

Install then go to settings - music effects and select Equalizer FX.

Next I will try to mod it further so it will have separate profiles for headphones, speaker and Bluetooth (currently I'm trying to figure how to do it by looking at the code of AwesomeBeats that has this functionality)

Enjoy and let me know if it works (state the version of your rom. Guaranteed to work on XWLSD).

Credits:

devdnua for original Equalizer FX app (v1.3.1 free)

Features:

* Works independently (regardless of the player used. for Poweramp you'll need to disable audio direct access)

* 5 band equalizer (using build in HW eq of onboard Soundchip)

* Bass boost

* All available MusicFX profiles

* Can add new user profiles

* Virtualization

* Black Blue JB theme

* Ad free

Nice work bro! ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] madpunk:
Working grate! Good job
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marbulas:
Chameleon Rom(LS8) and Latest Poweramp(feature using MusicFX directly added)

Works fine.

The range of frequency in hearing is little bit different from other apps like this(Equalizer via Smart Android Apps, etc...) but it is just my noobynish about the difference.

Thanx a lot mate :D

I'll use this few days more to test about the bug others have(going back all EQ band into 0 for few seconds).

Can you adopt the opinion or idea? I have some and these maybe cool...

1. Backing up my EQ value which I set through syncing my google account(to backup my settings much safe and apply any devices I use)

2. Add methods for adjusting EQ with type numbers with keyboard apps or toggle + and - ( too hard to set the values through dragging on touch :( )
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] EB10000:
As for the range, this eq make use of the internal hardware DSP controlled by the MusicFX engine. It turns out that the equalizer built in is not a graphic eq, but rather a parametric eq. This means when you boost one slide, you are actually boosting or attenuating entire frequency band, who's center frequency is the freq of the slide being boosted. i.e the 14kHz slide will affect an entire band ranging from ~8khz up to 18khz..

As for the slide adjust sensitivity, I agree, it is a little jumpy.. But this is how the original app dev made the UI. Its gonna take me some time to develop my dev skills to be able to do some advance modding. i was only lucky to notice that the original app is nothing but a UI made for MusicFX.apk, that includes it's own MusicFX taken from AOSP rom (this is why the original app did not work for Sammy JB). I only replaced the lines of code for the old musicFX with ones taked from new Sammy JB rom and of course I also changed the app theme.

I'm currently working on an AIO audio mod for JB that will combine AC!D audio + Beats + Xloud + Alsa + ClearAudio in one working CWM mod.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CallUp:
M8, that sounds really awesome as the original AC!D 7.0 is a bit buggy on SGS2 based on Sammy JB.

I would defenitely try it when you release the pack :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sukhi.priceless:
working gr8 :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marbulas:
I used it few days more...

So amazing! Others have a specified same bug(EQs turn off about a couple of seconds) but this is not.

I think this app is the only flawless and the best EQ app :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Spacemonkie4207:
I'll definitely give this a try, I've always like noozyoxide rewire but for some reason I can download it on my s2.

This one seems promising considering it works with the hw.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Spacemonkie4207:
Is there any way to get rid of the notification?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] EB10000:
I can remove it permanently by a mod, but I don't think most people will like it this way.. You can easily access the eq this way. However, if you're on new JB rom, you can turn off notifications from settings - applications for this app
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ramani:
works fine on Captivate I897 with Xylon JB rom

any possibility to incorporate SRS mod(i-wow)?

thanks for the app.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] donzzy:
I'll give this a try. Looking forward for your next project! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dimkaben:
Hi guys! My name Dmitry. I am CEO of devdnua and developer of Equalizer FX :)

EB10000, good job! I would ask you what did you do to got it work on JB? I have few devices and on it works on all devices well.

I will be grateful if you tell me what you have fixed.

Do Android phones charge while in download mode?

I that some phones do, but I was wondering if it was just an all around fact...
[General Questions and Answers] torrentialrain3:
I'm by no means an expert of this specific subject, however applying my current knowledge of various technology and applying it to guestimating how developers would build things forward, I'm pretty sure that all phones should charge while downloading content. If anything, I'm sure developers ensure users can charge while downloading as downloading content ramps up data signal use and keeping the device plugged in will attempt to level out, if not exceed the amount of power being used to operate the increased data signal usage.

Just my two cents :p
[General Questions and Answers] tihsllub:
I have a sgs3 it does
[General Questions and Answers] techben:
Yes, you can always charge it.

Unfortunately you will not be able to charge if in download mode. I got stuck in download mode because I was stupid when I flashed when my battery was almost dead, I messed up the rom, the rom crashed screen and the download mode can't charge.

Hi, guys.I'm here with a question.Which rom(s) do you use?And why?What makes you keep using gb, ics or jb?What do they have special?For instance, I'm sick of lagging ics roms and i installed cm10 and i returned to ics.And what i realized is especially Sony's stock camera app and other portable apps makes me use stock-based ics.(You would know how ugly the camera app of cm stuff is if you tried cm9/10.)'Nuff said.What are your reasons?:)

I have Xperia Neo V with locked boot-loader and stock kernel .587. After trying several ROM I have settled on 'Ice Cream Pureness', with a few of my own changes, like Cyber-shot camera 7.1.2, Walkman, stock calendar, etc. This is very smooth ROM, with no bloat ware, and lots of free Internal memory.

MIUI

MIUIv2

based on CyanogenMod 7

I am Using MIUIv2 MultilangV4.6.2 because:

Lot's of Free Ram -> Up to 230 MB

Lightning Fast

Nice Battery Performance

No Errors like FC & etc (Only FC in Sync Settings)

Bright User Interace Easy to use good-feeling

Lot of other reason

I suggest everyone ti try it once;

Hi,

I used Sony ICS on my Neo V and I was all the time thinking to downgrade to GB. Now I have installed CM10 and I am quite happy. It is true that it is not stable and there are some features missing, but I have quite a good performance. I miss mostly the camera features, but there are some apps on the market that are really helpful (Vignette or Pano/360 for panorama).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] alextheboss96:

2)smooth interface based on Xperia Z

3) great battery when overclockked on stock 1024 gHz

4)nice performance

5) most beautiful launcher/systemUI/framework

try it if you like it :P

ROM Cooked On My Own. (Basically Stock Based, ICS)

Reasons:

-Able to choose selective apps & mods

-Able to theme the way I want it

-Stock base because it is bugfree.

-ICS because there are more mods & apps available which are not compatible with Gingerbread.

-Finally, don't have to wait for the updates!

For now I'm using Gin2JellyBean ROM (based GB 2.3.7) by vokal1992. All I want just stability, no lags, music, and camera. And I think I got thats all in this ROM :victory:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Darkfall231:
Using Legacy Xperia 10.1 (2013/09/08 release)

1/ Its stable, havn't had any FC or restarts.

2/ The ROM is nice and smooth / no lag issues.

3/ Its Jelly Bean - maybe its a personal preference but I tend to like JB better than ICS.

4/ Quite a good amout of free storage and no issues with RAM either.

1 con is that my battery tends to last me about 12h I feel that the battery drains rather fast even with the screen off. However so far the above pros does negate this one for me.

I have been using the ZellyCream 3.0.1 with Stock ICS Kernel

Pros:

1. Nice look and feel

2. Install Apps directly to SD card - built in feature

3. Kill apps via back button, 30 Step volume, Skip tracks via volume key and many such small but useful features for day to day use

4. Very much stable for daily use

5. Good battery life

Cons:

1. Initially used to give quite a lot of free RAM, but after a few days and installing the regular apps, the amount of free RAM went down :(
