Re: XDA-developers-SER-v11.exe for dummys like me, cant inst

WOW! That is an early prototype indeed. We want that ROM! (You must have been in the loop way, way early!)

My guess would be that the ROM is so old that the version of ActiveSync included inside doesn't support the type of program manipulation the upgrade program needs.

What you need is an SD-card reader-writer for your PC, and Windows NT/2000 or XP installed. Then get our XDArit program and use it to write the ROM image contained in Jeff's exe-file to the SD-card, and use the bootloader to get the ROM into the device.

But as said above, first use that same bootloader to get the old ROM out of there onto an SD-card and then onto your disk. Info on how to do all this is on the XDArit page above.

You have no idea about the level of ridiculousness present in some of the posts here. Asking questions is good, assuming you're dumb or your question is ridiculous or embarassing is silly.

Hi Folks,

I need to somehow uncover the details of the APN settings on my USB internet dongle and recreate them on my phone. If anyone could help me with this I would really, really appreciate it.

Some background:

I am currently working in Mali, West Africa and I have been having problems getting skype, google talk and tethering to work on my stock android nexus 4. After searching around on the forums I discovered that the problem relates to my APN profile on my phone, which is currently set to a WAP connection. These settings were dected automatically when I first connected to the network.

I know that my carrier (Orange Mali) supports the more advanced internet protocols (called HTTP, Web 2.0?) because I also have a USB internet dongle with the SAME internet service. Skype and google talk work great and I'm assuming if I could replicate these settings I could tether as well. I've confirmed that the dongle does indeed have a different APN profile from my phone.

Here is what I've tried so far:

Called the carrier - they don't even know what an APN profile is

Opened up the software for the USB dongle, searched endlessly for details of the APN profile. I can only see the username (iew) and the password, which is **** out. There are no other details (I believe I need the numbers for the proxy, port, MCC & MNC)

I've also searched various APN databases to see if they have the right settings for Orange Mali. No luck.

I've gone into the windows internet options - connections - and looked at the settings of the DUN profile for the USB dongle. Again the password is *** out and I can't see the other details.

Can I uncover these settings in terminal or my registry? Any help at all would be appreciated.
[Networking] tinbox134:
APN setting for Orange Mali

No need to check on laptop.

Orange WAP only for phone browsing. Orange internet is for hotspot, tethering:

Then input this information for the APN settings of Orange:

Name = Orange Internet

APN = orangeinternet (case sensitive)

Proxy = Ignore,

Port = Ignore,

Username = Ignore,

Password = Ignore,

Server = Ignore,

MMSC = Ignore,

MMS proxy = Ignore,

MMS port = Ignore,

MCC = 234

MNC = 33

APN type = default
[Networking] mamarget:
Maybe program named "Asterix password viewer could help you?!
[Networking] cssorf:
I am also in Bamako. Figured out what you are looking for.

The APN = internet

if you got an iphone and would also edit the apn let me know.

[Q] Remapping the "search softkey" to "show recent apps" in Jelly Bean

Hi,

I've got a Mobistel Cynus T1 with JB 4.1.1, stock rom, root and cwm 6 recovery.

I'm trying to remap the search softkey to the "show recent apps" function.

I already found some tutorials on ICS like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21501238

My problem is now, that by changing the keylayout files the softkeys don't react anymore.

The java file I can't even find.

Apps like ButtonRemapper can only identify the hardkys.

I hope, you can help me.

As a great phone this is I'm concerned with where Sony have placed the water markers.

I understand that they are there for their protection but the top one really annoys me when I'm listening to music.

It would be great to have a water resistant phone that you could take out your pocket in the rain to change tracks ect. in ore of peoples expression 'Your getting your phone wet!'. :)

I wish Sony to a leaf out of Apples book placed theres underneath the headphone jack like the iPhone.

Any one agree?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crucio_:
My sensor under the headphone flap has already gone pinkish. living it england its hard not to get a little bit of rain on it when out at the shops and changing tracks. no idea what this would mean for my warranty.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lembo:
My thoughts exactly.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmaster:
it seems like sony could easly refuse to repair a device, even if it's not your fault...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyMonkey:
I am thinking of placing a small sticker over the water marker to prevent it from triggering.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSN:
could you prevent it with a method that simple? and what would you prefer to remove the sticker in case of using the warranty?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fookea:
i'm also curious as if this method is ok . I think sony would have thought about the sticker thing and maybe the sensor also reacts to something else like glue ...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flying_Hero:
What about sony's water resist warranty? If the stickers' colour changed to red, that means the phone got water from this places. Even flaps are correctly closed, If there is some faulty on the flaps the phone will get water.

So, i think it's not big problem the place of stickers, inside the phone or just near the plug.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobe1969:
The way I use my phone, the jack is on the bottom. I have it on a neck strap using the lanyard hook, so it holds the phone upside down. I ride a pushbike everywhere, work, in the rain so works out well this way for me. This was a selling point to me on the phone - lanyard strap, water resistant. When I rode with my iphone I had it in a grungy neck bag, and when it rained I either hoped for the best, or put it in a plastic bag...:o
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
If you triggered your water sensor somewhere - it doesn't mean your warranty is immediately void. If your phone dies from water damage, they check the covers and make their tests. If they leak - they'll repair your phone. If they don't, it means you left it open, doesn't really matter if your sensors turned pink or not - it's just for Sony, to let them know where the damage most likely happened.

Btw. just get an SBH20 bluetooth headset, problem solved. It's great and you can use any headphones with it :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobe1969:
Yeah, but the SBH20 isn't waterproof... :p I guess a cheaper sacrifice than

It'd be fantastic if you could get cordless Bluetooth canalphones. One day they'll be able to get that stuff small enough...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I had wondered if this was bugging anyone else, it's a real bug bear to me since I usually use my phone for music every day, but living in the UK it likely to get some drops of rain in.

This means not only am I forced not to use my favourite headphones, but also that I have to buy one of those SBH20s.

The door itself is a PITA as well cause I fear it might snap of while open when taking the phone in and out of my pocket.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
That's the problem for me, the sensor is already pink just after 1 month of using the jack audio connection for my headphone, morality, you definitively need a bluetooth headphone or you will break the warranty. I've returned the phone to my provider that they confirmed that break the warranty BUT after contacting Sony with them, Sony confirmes that they always open the phone to really check if it's water damaged or not, if not, if it's just the sensor you haven't to worry but Sony is warning us by telling that some providers will certainly refuse to send the phone to be repairing by seeing the sensor, so if your phone is really damaged and you have the red sensor, you can cry.

For my case i've taken the bigest warranty for my phone, even if i destroy it myself i just need to pay the franchising of 50€ and they change it immediatly.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninehneh:
Check out plantronics backbeat go. It's in ear, light and water resistant. Only thing it its not NFC enabled.

This DHD had 8MP cam & which is not equal to my Rokr. DHD photos has too much of noise, the photo looks cool in DHD, but when transferred to my PC, the photo is utter crap. Its just my camera or the DHD itself has no camera noise reduction ?

Theming Your Lockscreen

Have you ever thought of having your own themed Lockscreen?​

With this guide you can have your own themed Lockscreen…This guide doesn’t teach you about decompiling/compiling apk’s or jar files as there are a lot of guides for decompiling apk’s on XDA.

Understanding Your Lockscreen :

The codes that make your Lockscreen work or control your Lockscreen are present in android.policy.jar but we are not going to touch it.

The xml’s and png’s that take care of the look of the Lockscreen are present in lidroid-res.apk* in Custom Roms and framework-res.apk in Stock Roms. These are the files that we are going to edit to theme our Lockscreen.

The xml’s are present in res/layout while the png’s are present in both drawable-hdpi and drawable-ldpi.

* In custom roms, the name may vary. For example, in Hyperion Rom it’s hyperion-res.apk and in Creed its creed-res.apk.

Theming Your Lockscreen:

A list is given below which shows the files that you need to edit to theme that corresponding Lockscreen:

Note

:

> I did not include .9.png’s in the list.

> I will add Samsung lockscreen later.

Sliding Tab Lockscreen :

XML’s

keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml

keyguard_screen_tab_unlock_land.xml

PNG’s

In drawable-hdpi:

ic_jog_dial_unlock.png

ic_jog_dial_sound_off.png

ic_jog_dial_sound_on.png

ic_jog_dial_vibrate_on.png

jog_tab_target_gray.png

jog_tab_target_green.png

jog_tab_target_yellow.png

In drawable-ldpi:

jog_tab_left_confirm_green.png

jog_tab_left_confirm_red.png

jog_tab_left_confirm_yellow.png

jog_tab_left_normal.png

jog_tab_right_confirm_gray.png

jog_tab_right_confirm_green.png

Editing PNG's and XML's

Editing PNG’s:

Note :

PNG - Portable Network Graphic

Editing png’s is very important in Theming because the png which you edited will be showed in the lockscreen. I recommend you to use Adobe Photoshop, Gimp or Paint.net to edit png’s..

Note : If want to hide a png, don’t delete it. Just make it transparent or you will face compiling problems.

Editing XML’s:

XMLs control many functions in Android. We will change binary XML into a readable XML file to make our edits, which will usually result in layout of the lockscreen. So to edit an xml, we need to decompile it using apktool.

In a lockscreen, hex codes are used to give the text a color. You can use hex codes to change the color of Clock / Date / Carrier Text / Custom Text.

You should be really careful while editing xml’s. They can cause apk compiling errors. I recommend you to use Notepad++ for editing xml’s.

Note :

dip - Density-independent Pixels

dp - Density-independent Pixels

sp - Scale-independent pixels

I have given below some codes/lines that you normally need to edit in order theme your lockscreen.

Note

: "object" refers to the object where you found the line.

android:background="@drawable/x"

This will set the png named x as the background of the lockscreen.

android:id="@id/x"

I don't know!

android:layout_below="@id/time"

This will bring the object below the time.

android:text="@string/x"

This will display the string x as a text in the lockscreen.

android:background="#ff000000"

This will set this hex code color as the background of the lockscreen.

android:textColor="#ddff00"

This will change the color of the object.

android:shadowColor="#c0000000"

The color of the shadow that should be displayed near the object.

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

The width of the object will display big enough to enclose its content only.

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

The width of the object will display as big as its parent, and fill in the remaining spaces.

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

The height of the object will display big enough to enclose its content only.

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

The height of the object will display as big as its parent, and fill in the remaining spaces.

android:gravity="center"

The position where the object should be placed. It can be either left / center / right.

android:singleLine="true"

Force the text to a single horizontal line instead of letting it wrap onto multiple lines.

android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium"

Appearance of the text will be Medium.

android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceSmall"

Appearance of the text will be Small.

android:layout_marginLeft="x.xdip"

Specifies extra space on the left side of this view.

android:layout_marginRight="x.xdip"

Specifies extra space on the right side of this view.

android:layout_marginTop="x.xdip"

Specifies extra space on the top side of this view.

android:layout_marginBottom="x.xdip"

Specifies extra space on the bottom side of this view.

android:textSize="x.xsp"

The size of the text. It can be any text (clock / date / carrier text / custom text)
