Didn't say you did, I corrected Del and you piped up after I commented it took 3 vibrations for a soft reset.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I have never used the phrase "soft reset". I have only said 3 vibrations means a power off....

edit

and this was the post where you did say I that i said that

Jesus christ, go back and read it properly, that was to Del.

Are you just out for an argument?

Not at all, I am sat quite happily chilling.

I only commented once about what shoudl happen...

anyway, if we got mixed up with who was speaking to who, we need to make sure we pick the right post to reply to then,

;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] del1701:
Yes it was me who said soft reset, it's the same as pulling the battery, hard reset wipes data as well, and as @gregbradley has said press and hold volume up and the power button for about 10 seconds and you get 1 vibration, restart the phone or as I said soft reset, keep holding the buttons a little longer and it will turn the phone off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] briman0094:
Well, I would post this on the thread itself as a bug report, but the forums seem to think that's a bad idea. If somebody could relay this to that thread it would be much appreciated. Basically, the problem I have is that when I use the face unlock on the new 4.2 version of the SuperNexus ROM (AT&T Galaxy S II i777), the shutter animation that is supposed to "open" to reveal the picture just stays as a tiny pinhole. The phone will still unlock, but I can only see a few pixels of the camera image, making it hard to aim at my face. I haven't seen this reported yet surprisingly enough, but I haven't looked extensively, so I apologize if it's a known problem. Any ways to fix this? Should I just wait for somebody with more than ten posts to report it on the appropriate thread?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1zard:
can someone tell me how much RAM is used when the first time HTC ONE turned on without many application running. My HTC ONE X+ only have around 250 MB left of RAM when the first time the phone is turned on.

Please correct me if I wrong, but I think, this is due to HTC sense stuff that takes lots of memory to run. It makes me thinking twice before installing application especially the one that running on background due the the memory space is very little.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.han:
I don't own the One yet and cannot comment on exactly how much ram sense 5 uses, but One has 2gb ram so it means if sense 5 uses the same amount of ram as sense 4, it will leave you 1.25gb which is enough and good amount for app running and switching.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
On my friends HTC One there is 1.5gb of free ram or so.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
From memory, go into settings then apps/applications and you should be able to swipe right which will then show you free ram I think.

Hi there all,

Does anyone have the Gmail 4.3 apk?

Whenever I try to update my Gmail app I get a parsing package error?

It tells me to ininstall it and then reinstall the latest version, could I just overwrite the app with the .apk from my handset if I had it?

Thanks,

T-L-H

---EDIT---

I did some Googling and it appears that the packages for preinstalled Google software has been signed wrong.
[HTC One X] jeozme:
I can't find it neither. It is only in play store but my device is incompatible ... I need an apk.

I updated through play store without issues on ARHD 19.2. This is the only apk I have in system /app and I don't know the version number or even whether I've done the link right coz I'm on my phone and away from my computer but you're welcome to try :)
[HTC One X] w00dstock:
Here's the right one.

thanks but it is 4.2.1

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

Perfect!
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
That's odd because when I open Gmail and look in settings its definitely 4.3 and that's the only apk in system /app that I have, I guess it must be somewhere else sorry about that.

EDIT: its in data/app

[HTC One X] jeozme:
No problem. Thanks for your help anyway.

Good you made a backup with tb before uninstall it ;)

Sent from my phone.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Haha, I had, but stupidly I'd deleted it like a fool. Wanted a clean run for the install, I rebooted the phone, cleaned cache and tried again from the Play Store, it installed!!!

Looking at 'About Gmail' settings now and can see it's 4.3 and now I can get regular updates :)

Thanks for the help! :good:

The new features, replying from notification shade, does this work in Sense? Or is it vanilla android only?

It does work in Sense, but you need to disable the Power Saver notification with this wonderful mod.
[HTC Droid DNA] v-b-n:
This is a howto thread ... Copied from the one I had opened in Butterfly Themes/Apps Section to help others ...

Tools Required :

1. apktool (For Decompile/Compile)

2. Notepad++ (My preferred smali/xml editor)

3. 7zip (Windows) or Text Editor (Mac)

4. Java Runtime

MOD 1 - Remove Battery Icon from Status Bar

This technique applies to ALL ROMs.

This will remove the ugly green battery icon totally from the Status Bar. Then you can use your own apps to show battery % etc and it looks very clean imo.

MOD 2 - Remove AM/PM From Status Bar Clock

This mod removes the AM/PM totally from the Status Bar Clock.

MOD 3 - Centre Status Bar Clock

This mod centres the Status Bar Clock
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
Thanks a lot man its nice to see someone actually share some knowledge for a change.
[HTC Droid DNA] dhemke17:
Nice to see this. Went ahead and found the required changes to remove the E911/Location reticle from the status bar as well...instead of starting a new thread thought I would just toss them in here.

1. Decompile SystemUI.apk with apktool

2. Navigate to smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy and open HtcCdmaStatusBar.smali

3. Find the two instances of:

invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v3}, Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;->setIconVisibility(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V

and change to

invoke-virtual {v0, v1, [COLOR="Red"]v2[/COLOR]}, Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;->setIconVisibility(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V

4. Recompile and place SystemUI.apk in an already working mod file that can be flashed in recovery using 7-zip or a similar app

5. Flash in recovery...
[HTC Droid DNA] v-b-n:
Ooh.. Good one :)
[HTC Droid DNA] dmbfan13:
Is it possible to provide a flashable zip for these? Or would it vary from rom to rom?
[HTC Droid DNA] v-b-n:
Will vary for each rom because of underlying framework files... This is more of a guide to self-help
[HTC Droid DNA] sshafranko:
Thanks for posting this much needed mod. I hate when everything is all cluttered on one side. This mod is the only thing left on my phone i would like to change. Unfortunately i am too stupid to attempt this myself. I'm willing to pay $20 if someone could do it for me!!!!!!! Its killing me i want this bad. If anyone knows of the center clock mod for Clean Rom Lite 1.5 Verizon PLEASE let me know. I'll even pay for the link to it. I swear.
[HTC Droid DNA] dhemke17:
No need to pay. Just post the required files ill try it out tonight.

[HTC Droid DNA] dhemke17:
Awesome!
[HTC Droid DNA] Crewski:
First off, thank you so much for taking the time to do a write up to help people out...such as myself. I did the center clock mod on the Sense 5 NOS M7 rom by newt. Everything works great except for when watching youtube and switching to landscape, an error pops up saying "Unfortunately SystemUI has stopped" or something like that. Have you experienced this before or possibly have any idea what the problem is? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for this great tutorial. It was my final step to recover my efs partition, without any backup. I copied the efs folder from another device and modified the files according my devices info (bluetooth mac, serial etc). Worked great on my SGS4

By the way I had the same error:

You get this error if you run adb shell when you booted to your ROM.

You need to run adb shell in recovery mode

No matter what I have done though I can't get past the boot logo ( or the walking Omega droid ). My phone just sits there and hangs

I have followed your steps and I have Philz ( 6.07.9.19 ) installed ( but not busybox unless it is sat there somehow from the Omega install ) but when i try to get adb shell running nothing happens or works..as you can see

What am i doing wrong? OR is my phone totally borked?

- Now, we'll format the partition to something your phone can mount (ext4) and is expecting. Be careful, by doing this, you're actually erasing what's left of your partition and replacing by something clean. Type:

mk2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

Try updating your firmware or reinstalling it via PC Companion. If the issue still persists go to service centre and try reinstalling the firmware again.

I had similar problem on my Xperia Ion LT28h. I reinstalled the software through service centre and it helped. the temperature still goes high around 45 when I browsed internet or watched videos on youtube via 3G, but its better then before.

Also if the temperature goes till 45 degrees then its normal for a sony phone. Guys at sony claim it can go as high as 60.
