That folding keyboard also snatched my com 1 gps port as well, even though I disabled infrared beams, once I cooked a rom with no folding keyboard it gave back the com port and gps was fine.

Hello,

I just uninstalled my foldable keyboard, and Ir was working again :o

Hi,

do you guys know any good app to do a backup of my non rooted non unlocked Razr I? I'd like to root and unlock it, but I don't want to lose all my data.

Carbon does not work. What did you use?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result

There are some solutions for backup to the PC too.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColdKiller93:
Thanks!

But it looks like it does only do a backup of the apk files. Is there any app which includes the app's data to a backup? I do not want to play all my games again :/
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
Ok. As far as I know you have solutions for backup/restore without rooting only for PC. But that shouldn't be a serious problem. The only important thing is to have ability to restore your apps and data. Look at this: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/backup-android-devices-to-pc-without-root-or-bootloader-unlock/
[HTC Incredible S] jojo1419:
Hi everyone, I just droped my incredible s and the screen broke. Now I planning to buy a lcd screen on ebay and repair it my self but I need to know what to buy. The phone is still fully fonctionnal it's just the screen that's cracked. So my question is do I need to buy the screen digitizer only or the lcd to?

Thanks!

[Edit]

Got the screen digitizer today, and I just finished to put it all together... phone looks like new!! And it wasnt too hard to do :P

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHxopp_Hino&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I simply followed that video but I only changed the touch digitizer, not the lcd.

The only issue is the new screen isnt glued well to the phone. I did put some two sided tape but the corners are a bit "loose" like I can push the screen back. So I'll try to find some sealant glue or something like that to glue the screen well in place.

If anyone knows a glue or a sealant let me know :)

Hi guys, I wanted to ask will we get the sense 5 from our devs here it would be a very nice treat ;)

This has been asked before. HTC said that some devices, including our HOX, will be getting the Sense 5 update.

Hi,

I'm really thinking of buying an Xperia Z, but for the moment it has nearly no ROMs.

Do you expect more ROMs to arrive or will it stay at this few ROMs available right now?

I'm looking for AOKP or Paranoid ROMs.

Thanks.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alnikki25k:
Surely more ROMs will come. Think about it. It's only been a month since the Z's been in the Market globally. Developers will get to work on it as soon as they can get hold of a device. Patience :p

Since Sony is releasing 100% of their source code, it's likely that there will be A LOT more custom roms.

Did anyone figure out how to play Netflix on tv in full screen. On my tv looks shrunk to 4x3 instead 16x9. Is there any solution?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] muqali:
There is an app that will force landscape or portrait mode, I think that may be what you're looking for. It'll force the device to rotate, even though the dock holds it upright, thus using the full width of the HDTV.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] darekz:
Thanks for reply. My problem is that Netflix plays fine on note, but when connected to smart dock only Netflix main menu comes up in full screen. When playing video picture is shrunk horizontally. Other players and youtube play perfectly in full screen. It must be error in app itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jerry D:
I don't know if this will help but here is the link to the app, I believe, muqali is talking about. It's a paid app but has a free trail. Check it out. It might help..great app for TW ROMS btw.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] darekz:
Thanks everyone. I read some user opinions about Netflix app in Play Store and looks like I'm not the only one with that problem. It appears that problem is within Netflix app. Forcing rotation doesn't change anything. I need to wait for netflix to fix that.

If you are able to access cwm recovery you easily can flash the old kernel.

If not then you have to put your xs in fastboot or flashmode. Depending on what you wanna flash.

After that use flashtool to flash a system of your choice.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] songxiny:
I have played Android devices for several years and rooted them for several years. The first thing after rooting is to change the font under /system. But I heared that this may coz OS reset!

Did anybody try this? what if we use a softLink for the font file to avoid the checksum comparing?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
Any changes to /system will cause the bootloop reset. However, if you pull a file from /system and symlink it to a file not located on system (/data for instance) then the symlink will not cause a bootloop. When fooling with systemui, you can quickly get yourself in trouble if there is a flaw in your files though, so be careful. I would make a nandoird before trying it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I have instructions on how to do the symlinking in my HD/HD+ Tips thread linked in my signature. But like dbh369 said, be careful. I was able to make a Vietnamese font for a user doing this. Look in the Q&A section, I think.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] songxiny:
Thanks above two. Are you sure that Stock will check every file under /system? I plan to replace the font file directly and see the result. I will report the result. By the way, if it's reset, I plan to use CM10.1.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes I am positive, any new or changed file on /system will reset stock. It automatically checks each file it finds and checks to see if it is on its manifest list and if it does not match the manifest or the checksums there, it will reset. So don't even try unless you want to lose everything including your media files.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] songxiny:
yes, you are right. I tried to modify the font file directly, stock reset. Even I delete the file, it reset. But, your sysLink tips work.

Thanks a lot.

So, do you (or anyone) by any chance know if the place where the HTC logo located is a "touch screen" area but it's just not mapped to do anything? Or, is it literally not part of the capacitive touch area?

If it is part of the capacitive area, then, do you think it would be possible to somehow configure the area where the logo is located to do something (like multi task)?

changing quick link icons??

This is a very helpful thread, thank you for that!

I have a question I could not find an answer for, but maybe I am simply too stupid. I am a proud owner of an HTC One since Friday and though this is my fourth HTC device with Sense UI, I am seriously struggling with the four quick launch icons on the bottom (i.e. Phone, SMS, Internet, Camera). On all previous devices I could easily change these icons through drag and drop, but this new beauty is resisting that. I can neither drag a new icon in there, nor can I drag one out, thus deleting it from the list.

I can rearrange them, though...

Anybody and smart ideas?
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
Did you try doing it while on the 'normal' homescreen? (Not the BlinkFeed one, but the other one)
[One (M7) General] turtleman:
Yes, tried it all, walked through all the menues as well, no chance. You can drag the icons onto a home screen, but that will copy them, not move them. And if you try to drag an icon from the home screen to the icon bar on the bottom, once you long-press an icon, the icon bar disappears... weird...
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
Strange, did you try to find a solution in hands-on videos on YouTube?
[One (M7) General] turtleman:
did not see anything, but if you have a link or an idea, I am happy to listen... :)
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
I'll try it, no results guaranteed though :p
[One (M7) General] zzz808303:
In multitasking view (where you double tap home button), is there a kill-all function like in CM10?
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
I didn't see any such option in any of the videos
[One (M7) General] turtleman:
no, there is not. You need to flip each tile (app) away to close it.
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
Either way, swiping away each tile does nothing. You haven't actually killed the program. The only thing it will do is soothe your OCD.
[One (M7) General] hitnrock:
Try it with the app drawer open!
[One (M7) General] Tuggbuss:
I rarely use internet on mobile phones. I would like to change the Internet button to Gmail button instead. Is that possible at all?
[One (M7) General] turtleman:
That works!!

I just now figured that out myself. Sense treats the shortcuts bar as an extension to the app drawer. An icon on the shortcuts no longer appears in the app drawer and you can only edit the shortcuts when the app drawer is open.

Strange alteration to previous sense behaviors, but hey, we figured it out...
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
Maybe we should open up the user manual for this device lol
[One (M7) General] turtleman:
Is there one? Sometimes I wish they would at least publish a change note or something that tells you where to reset your brain to their own logic...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Silversurfer:
Hi All,

Please help! :roll:

regards,

Silver
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
Not with the standard today screen you won't... A theme really just consists of two gifs and a bunch of colors you can set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
This MOD works with the following ROMs:

CleanROM 6 (may work with 5.6 but i havent tested)

Eclipse v1.2

Jelly 'Beans' Builds 10 - 12, 13

Synergy 373

This rearranges the softkeys from the stock ((menu) recents home back) configuration to the AOSP (back home recents (menu)) configuration. It also changes the images to match AOSP. Because it a ZipThemer theme it can be applied to a themed ROM without messing up the theme. IE: you can flash Beans + a Wasabi theme then this without messing up the Wasabi theming.

In addition to rearranging the softkeys you can also change the softkey style simply replace the images in the zip with the ones you want to use. Below is a zip containing the stock style softkeys. Follow the same process outlined below. Flash the MOD for your ROM first then the stock keys after.

Procedures:

1. Add the following to your build.prop in /system/ Do not reboot yet.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

2. Download ZipThemer from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImtlbGxpbndvb2QuemlwdGhlbWVyIl0.

3. Download the zip that corresponds with the ROM you are running and the UpdateEdify.zip. See attached files below.

4. Open ZipThemer app, hit the settings button and select Update Edify. Then browse to the UpdateEdify.zip you downloaded in part 2. Then select configure. Then hit the back button.

5. Press [+Theme] button and add the ROM specific zip. Ex. beans12softkeys.zip

6. Click [Build it!] button, the app will ask you whether to make an undo zip, I recommended yes or always.

7. The app will patch your SystemUI.apk and pack into an update .zip.

8. When done, reboot to Recovery, install the *-update.zip from the root of your sdcard. Ex. Eclipse1.2Softkeys-update.zip

9. Reboot and enjoy!

10. If you want to go back to the way it was just boot into recovery and flash the undo zip (because you selected that option right?).

NOTE: If it doesnt take you need to go back to step 4 and select a different zip.

Thanks to camblue for letting me hijack is softkey mod thread. Also a thanks goes out to Detonation from Rootzwiki for his writeup about how to add keys and rearrange them.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imjehh:
How do I theme my phone to look like that? Just push the systemui.apk from one of those ROMs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
Like the screenshot? No, don't push another ROMs sysui. That would be bad. I believe that the status bar icons (other than the battery) are located in the lidroid-res.apk (/system/framework/). You would have to transfer them to your ROMs lidroid app. Why not use Eclipse? The theming is already done for you. Another plus is it has the aosp dialer and contacts app that scale with the presence of the softkeys. Also native tethering is enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imjehh:
i pushed the lidroid apk and it just changed the lidroid appearance...the 4G/wifi/time stayed the same. Any other ideas on what to push?

I might try eclipse as it looks pretty cool, but i wanted to stick with cleanrom because i heard it has the best battery life
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imjehh:
hey man i flashed eclipse, but your method is not working for me because it says theres no update script. Can you send me a zip of a modified systemui like you did for cleanrom? if not ill have to go back to cleanrom which is a shame because i like this rom so far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
Did you follow the instructions in the OP? You need to update edify in the ZipThemer app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jimmypop13:
Hey I just flashed this mod however the stock nav keys you used are low quality. I can see pixelation in them, especially on the roof of the home. They aren't nearly as sharp as on my gnex. Is there anyway you could redo this with higher quality images? Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
Thanks for confirming that it works. I can update it. It will be about half an hour till they are all done. Gotta bootup the comp again. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jimmypop13:
Yup it worked great on cr6. Could you make one too if you ever have time that uses the stock Samsung icons but has back and recent apps flipped and removes that blue/grey line At the top of the nav bar? I kinda like the darker grey of the Samsung icons but not sure if I can stand that blue/grey line Samsung added to the top of the nav bar. All I know is I definitely prefer back on the left and recent apps on the rightPlus not having to push the physical home button is really nice!

If it will help, I can upload the nav icons from my gnex
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
The images I used were from my gnex. ill have to see what image enhancing I can do tomorrow. I did however upload the sock keys. Check the attachments. Follow the same steps as before. Flash over the other file. It simply puts the images in the apk without any other modifications. In fact all that ZipThemer does is open up the apk like a zip file and replace the tw_navi_bar.xml that I modified into the app. Id look into higher res images tonight but I have work early in the morning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
Just to clarify what I wrote above, when you complete step 4 from the OP you are adding the update script from whatever zip you select. ROMS or themes that use aroma seem to have a different META-INF that makes them incompatible with this MOD. If you are going to use Eclipse I also recommend the Circuitry theme ported by o0Blackness0o. The themes zip works perfectly for step 4 too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jimmypop13:
Oh ok well tha's weird bc I thought the gnex had the same resolution so I don't know why it looks so much different.I just extracted the systemUI.apk on my S3 and was surprised to see in the res folder, in several of the drawable folders were the stock ics/jb nav icons.

Maybe they are higher resolution?

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

I just flashed the stock keys one on top of the clean rom one like you said and ended up with recent apps on the left and back on the right. Uninstalled both and then just installed the stock keys file and got the same thing. Can you flip the recent apps and back too And it will be perfect. Thanks so much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
That is strange. It worked for me. Try doing it again. First the cleanrom specific one then the stock images one. The stock zip shouldn't change the order.
