[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] seroevo:
Get back some aesthetics from 4.0.4?

There's a ton of 4.1.2 update threads for various regions, but I'm in Canada so I'll try here first.

Is there a way to kind of revert back to ICE aethetics in JB?

Specifically, I absolutely can't stand the new forced white aesthetic prevalent in messaging, contacts, etc. More than the white itself is that there appears to be no way to change it. It's such an arbitrary change, and forced.

On top of that, I can't even customize the "secondary" colour (say, the colour of the text messaging 'bubbles') as I am forced to choose from preset themes and all of them are some variant of a pastel colour.

Basically, I want the dark grey background back, across the board. Is there a way to do this without rooting? Or, is this possible if I do root?

I even looked at third-party messaging apps, but even if I can customize them more, they all look like horrible iOS knock offs. I loved the Sony/Android look of 4.0.4.

Any help is really appreciated. It's subjective, I know, but it's pissing me off.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Michael Scott:
Agreed... lots of the aesthetic changes are awful imo. I ended up flashing back to stock.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Castronova:
DROID BIONIC

Android Version: 4.0.4 ICS

System Version: 6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US

So i finally rooted my phone and got superuser. But the method didn't give me a safestrap or bootstrap file to download.

I went online and have dowloaded multiple safestrap apk files (1.0, 2.11, 3.1) and they all said they run on ICS. So i install then and when i go to run them it prompts me and says "unfortunately, safestrap has stopped." and it's followed by another little pop-up that says "Safestrap has been denied superuser permissions." So i can't get into recovery to flash any roms. I'm not sure what to do.

I've tried to wipe the data, caches, and restore my phone, nothing helps. And i made sure my USB debugging is on. But after everything i've tired all my recovery apps still force close and don't get permission. I've also tried to flash my roms using the stock recovery and nothing happens.

I also downloaded titanium back-up and when i go to open the app it notifys me that it doesn't get root permissions, that my phones not rooted. Now with the ICS update theres a Root Check in the stock recovery and it reads “qe 1/1″- so that tells me i"m rooted. So i'm not sure there.

I don't know what to do. Maybe i'm missing a few steps. If anyone could help me out and point me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Did you get it resolved. I spent all afternoon only to be rooted but unable to acess recovery. any elder statesman that have any answers?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Castronova:
No, i haven't fixed the problem yet. Was hoping someone could help me out
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Castronova:
This is what happens when i try opening any safestrap app i install.

I'm sorry, but who is that? Can you give me a link to his profile please? I'm kinda a noob to this rooting stuff. Hence the problems I'm having lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] NaziHunter85:
Safestrap

Which version of Safestrap did you try? I prefer 3.1 as it has touchscreen capabilities. Do you by chance have bootstrap installed? This could be giving the error.

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

For the safestrap failing to be granted super user access error, you should be able to manually 'whitelist' it in your superuser application. If that does not work, you might want to try a different root program. I tend to use SuperSU, as I enjoy the features, and the realiability.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Castronova:
I tried the versions listed- 1.0, 2.11, 3.1

None of those worked. And no, I've never had bootstap installed. And what's the "whitelist"? I've never messed around with the superuser app, I've only just checked the log and see all my root apps get denied (titanium, safestrap, etc.)

And for the other root method: I'm not sure how to do any other methods, or even find any for that matter. I know my phones rooted, it tells me in my stock recovery.

If anyone could help me out by posting links, that'd help A LOT!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] NaziHunter85:
SuperSU

Has any application that requires Root Access, or Sudo, ever been granted Super User Permissions? If not, I have a feeling that your root was not preformed correctly. If I may ask, do you remember which "root" method you used? I used HoB Linux Edition, as I run Gentoo. HoB Linux Edition stands for House of Bionic Linux Edition. Here is a link for HoB. (Well, apparently I am unable to post links until i have posted atleast ten times. Message me on Google talk for the link. My GT is later on in this message).

There is a version for Windows, Mac, and the best of all, Os/Distros based off of the Linux kernel (which is based off of the Unix Kernel). As for the whitelist, you are able to go in and select which applications you would like to either always deny, grant, or ask for Super User Access. Again, I've mainly only used SuperSU, as i have had problems with most of the others out there currently. I would not go off of the stock recovery, as, for me at least, when I had an incomplete root, the stock recovery said I was rooted, even though I was not. If you could, could you please post a copy of the log from the super user program that you use? Also, which one do you use, again? If you are online/awake currently, message me on Google talk your questions. i will post anything that solves this issue in the morning. This is do to my mother decided that I need to go to bed. My Google talk is (brysononeill@gmail.com). My Google talk is also best to reach me for quick replies during the hours of: 0700 hours through 1530 hours as I am in my classes at that period of time (High School). Another quick question, did you ever go to Az or Fz Fastboot, during your root process? (Been rooted for over 1.5 years now, a little hard to remember). If not, I doubt that the Root was successful. I am sorry for my late response, as I was watching BSG Blood and Chrome, while shining my shoes for the ROTC inspection tomorrow.

Hope we fix this soon,

~NH85
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Castronova:
No, so far since i've rooted this phone superuse has denied every application. I use the superuser v3.1.3.

I was thinking just last night that my root was performed incorrectly, so i went to droidbionicroot website and downloaded a un-root method (as well as several root methods) But i haven't done it yet, I've read that it bricked some users phone's and i don't want that.

I'm on a windows and have tried several root methods. I think the one that actually worked for me was called "PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.07"

Also, what's Az or Fz fastboot? I'm sorry, I'm still kinda new to this rooting stuff so i appreciate the patience.

I don't have a google talk so I'll just email you at the address. My email is srg.castro08@yahoo.com

Hello guys,

I have a samsung galaxy ace plus gt-s7500W and i read about:

[GUIDE][REL][YOU MUST KNOW][DL] Galaxy Ace Plus Frameworks And Kinds in the forum.

I went to the opensourse site of samsung and i downloaded the opensource rom but i don't know how to build and make it ready for flashing.

The file name is: GT-S7500W_GB_Opensource.zip

It contains two files:

GT-S7500W_EUR_Kernel.tar.gz and GT-S7500W_EUR_Platform.tar.gz

and also two text files:

GT-S7500W_EUR_Kernel.txt which contains this text:

HOW TO BUILD KERNEL 2.6.38 FOR GT-S7500

1. How to Build
- get Toolchain
Visit http://www.codesourcery.com/, download and install Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-68 toolchain for ARM EABI.
Extract kernel source and move into the top directory.
$ toolchain\arm-eabi-4.4.3
$ cd kernel/

2. Overwrite modules that you want to build.

3. external/bluetooth : Delete this source tree at Android gingerbread and then copy.
external/iproute2 : Delete this source tree at Android gingerbread and then copy.

4. Add the following lines at the end of build/target/board/generic/BoardConfig.mk

Find out what you want in a Rom first. Each Rom here caters best to somebody.

Make a backup of what you have and flash away. Go back to what you had if you don't like what you install. That's the fun part.

There is no "best" ROM. Everyone has different preferences, and uses their phones differently. Its like asking people what their favorite color is. They can give you an answer what they like. But it has absolutely no bearing on whether you will like it or not.

I've found is handy app called Appcurl and it basically finds the apps that are right for YOU. Instead of going to the Top 10 list of Google Play which has nothing to do with your preferences and needs it shows you the relevant apps to your lifestyle and preference instead. By the way, most of the apps in the Top 10 lists you already have installed anyway probably. This app shows you apps where you have probably not heard of yet and which will fit your lifestyle and hobbies.

I have discovered many apps for my fitness training and animal apps which I have otherwise have never found.

Why this happens ?

its something with the kernel ? or drivers why no use original ones ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
That's a question for "Google"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Actually if you read the threads taking about this specifically the one by jeffsf he has a theory that Samsung knew many of the devices had crappy WiFi hardware and that is why the device had tons of leaked builds. They kept releasing then in hope of fixing the reception and ultimately just faked a better signal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
I dont know how erik did it but the ics stock imm76l rom has excellent wifi signal. Other then that its what the guy b4 me said
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xtreme2020:
Rom imm76l Available for t959v

Thanks for the reply

I would like to know if i can flash the rom that you said to my T959v ?

I saw that the big impact with wifi is make by the kernel you install, cause switching modem always the wifi signal is the same but when you change the kernel you see some diferents.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
There is no super duper trick to get better wifi. What Samsung did was modify the data file to reflect a higher level. It is a visual trick and one that tricks the OS into thinking the signal is higher also so it does not disconnect as much.

What erikmm did before is change the signal bars from a actual representation to a false reading that made people think they had a better signal. Turn off the bars and use dBm readings and you will see the real signal.

This phone has a really crappy radio reception and there is not much you can do outside of what samsung did and make the signal bars read I higher rating. I think it was jeffsf that said the best solution would be to hack the wifi module and make it read all signals at a increase of 5-10 dBm so it wouldnt drop the wifi so often.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xtreme2020:
What file do i have to edit to get a fake wifi signal read and avoid disconnecting ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
I actually didn't do what eollie said to trick people I did it because of information another dev told me then I gave it a shot I saw improvements for me and thought it might improved but again if it's not you don't have to flash it or complain. Source is out do instead of complain that something isn't working or a mod isn't 100%
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
/sigh

Show me where I said you did it to purposely to deceive people.

Furthermore at the time you where posting those roms there was NO source code to edit.

If you are still doing that code modification then you are now purposely deceiving people.

To clarify if people think I was saying erikmm did it purposely then you are wrong. I dont know what his intentions was initially.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
First off, I want to be clear, I don't know what was/is different in Erikmm/Beastmode's ROM. At the time it was released, source was not available to examine, and I haven't dug into what has since been posted. I also hypothesize that Samsung was, among other things that T-Mobile probably wanted them to change, tweaking the "calibration" of the WiFi in the various leaked releases and that the "nice" version wasn't in the final release. Considering that the "official" release modem has problems with long SMSs, it wouldn't surprise me that the low RSSI numbers reported weren't caught either. I don't work at Samsung or T-Mobile, so this is my personal speculation and opinion of a likely scenario.

I have tested WiFi pretty extensively and it is my personal belief that the RF portion of this phone just sucks; WiFi, GPS, and quite possibly Bluetooth, but nobody has complained about the last one. Unfortunately, the leaks were hosted on sites later shut down by the FBI so that getting those versions to examine as well was not possible.

If you want to "fudge" the signal levels, the details of one way to do it are in the linked thread. It will require you to create a build environment, populate it with the source of your choosing, edit WifiManager.java, and compile at least the framework. It could also be done within the kernel driver. Since I find that levels below where the current crop of ICS ROMs believe are "no bars" I don't get more than around 1 Mbps over WiFi and I do generally have decent T-Mobile signal, I just use my carrier for data when the WiFi level is low.

before I rooted I just installed whatsapp straight after downloading the apk from the official whatsapp site and started the procedure using my phone number (I too don't have a smartphone anymore), it will not detect any sms since it's sent on the phone but if you wait for 5 minutes you'll get a voice call from whatsapp giving you the code to verify the number, since I'm I have a tf300tg it runs without a hitch but when I tried any tf300t roms it showed the "tablets are not supported" message so I don't know if it'll work for you without root. Note that if you get it to work and you do have whatsapp installed on a smartphone the first instance of whatsapp will cease to work, so we will need to re-verify the app but it will then disable the tablet's whatsapp, you can only have one whatsapp account, if you really need 2 devices to work with whatsapp then you need to buy a new number and ask your friends and family to add it to their phone book as you. Hope I helped in any way.

The best way is to install Market Helper,

and then activate your TF300T as a phone.

Then you can install WhatsApp or Viber without a single problem.

If you are installing WhatsApp - just wait 5 minutes and then you will have an option to receive a call with an activation code.
