[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainKorhonen:
Hi,

I've been trying to restore my P3100 back to the official firmware after screwing up a custom firmware install. I'm trying to flash the P3100XWBLH3 firmware (ICS, downloaded from samsung-updates) with Odin3 1.87 but the process gets stuck at modem.bin. I am unable to post a screenshot, but here's what it showed in the message box:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I'm wondering, could this be caused by the fact that I accidentally flashed the firmware of the non-GSM version earlier? Can this still be fixed or have I perma-bricked my device 3G-wise, effectively turning it into a Wi-Fi tablet? I have tried extracting the .tar.md5 and flashing the modem.bin separately but it still gives me the same error.

E: I am also getting an "E: Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)" error every time I boot to recovery mode. I looked around the forums a bit and it seems that the modem and the efs thingy have something in common. Is this correct?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainKorhonen:
Help, anyone? Sorry for bumping, but I really need help with this.

I have come to the conclusion that the /efs error is causing this. I looked through the folder and there was nothing in there, apart from an empty folder named "wifi".

Could somebody please send me a copy of their /efs folder for 4.0.4 ICS - preferably a factory unlocked one, modified to include a fake IMEI if you so wish - so that I could put that on my Tab and replace the IMEI with the one found on the back side of my device. I am quite sure that would allow me to flash the modem.bin successfully and finally get this thing working again.

Hey, after messing with the new Launcher of Facebook we can see some of the reverse engineering with the Facebook Home apk.

We will benefit from the new forums recently added for Developers!

Remember it's only with educational intentions! No thermonuclear wars supported!

Let's start!

Important findings!

The Feature called Home it's established inside the code as Dash.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="title_activity_dash">Facebook Home</string>
<string name="[B]settings_dash[/B]">Facebook Home settings</string>
<string name="[B]enable_dash[/B]">Enable Facebook Home</string>

The Main Process seems to be DashActivity:

<activity
android:theme="@style/Theme.FacebookDark"
android:label="@string/title_activity_dash"
android:name="com.facebook.dash.activities.DashActivity"
android:process=":dash"
android:taskAffinity="com.facebook.dash.dashtask"
android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"
android:excludeFromRecents="true"
android:launchMode="singleInstance"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.facebook.intent.action.DASH" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.facebook.intent.action.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

How does it work

The launcher apk AKA com.facebook.home it's just a very poor coded apk with a recalling method to the official Facebook apk AKA com.android.katana. As the Home app doesn't include too many code we will expect that Facebook Home

will work on any android device

while it accomplishes the minimum requirements. For the moment the launcher only supports the portrait options and it's not finished (like the experience in the Apps page).

How does it feel

The launcher without any sync account it's very easy to use. First you locate your profile picture that with some swipe methods we will Access to the Camera, the apps or the last app launched. It's oriented in a 100% to share content to facebook with the Status, Photo and Check in options in the top. If you wanna dismiss it you can swipe down easily.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djp952:
Being without my dev laptop for a couple days, I'm bored - lol.

I was wondering if we know how many hardware revisions of the Fascinate there are out there. I know they all claim to be i500.04, but I've had enough of them to know they are certainly not all created equally.

From the ones I've had/have, the screen seems to be the tip-off. I can account for three different "models" myself:

1. The "good ones". These are black and have the nice screens. Fairly accurate color temperature, very bright with bold colors. These also seem to run the fastest and are the most likely to be able to overclock to 1.4GHz successfully. Also for me, the least amount of trouble with Wifi enable/disable when that was a problem. These are the ones my wife and I got from Verizon back in 9/2010, and I've gotten hold of an official Samsung refurb recently that fits this category. The one Fassy I bricked was like this as well (so sad, stupid corrupt boot.bin)

2. The "warm ones". I have two of them, they aren't my favorites. Black case, but a very warm (red) color temperature screen that tends to be less bright and lacks the color oomph. Mine have notably slower performance than what I call the good ones above, and had something different about Wifi that required a special change to stop the enable/disable problems. I use them as clocks and as Sonos device controllers, always on 24/7 in docks, and they serve that purpose well.

3. The "cool ones". Both white and black cases, although I've only seen the black ones as display models. Every white one I've seen fits this category. These seem to run well, but the screens are terribly cool (blue), to the point of being off-putting to me. Unfortunately I gave the one I had away before I started working on GeeWiz 3/4, but I don't recall it being as slow the "warm ones". It was the screen color that made me not want to use it.

Silly topic, I know. Just wondering... lol ;)

i didn't know there were different variants of the same phone. now you have me wondering about which one i have, lol

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztotherad:
lol i run the cm10.1 kernel with TWRP. cause i rock like that
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbrad:
Yea but how can you over clock over 1.4 if it doesn't allow it
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djp952:
So, um, basically then I just insulted the phone of a fellow Fascinate lover. Open mouth ... insert foot. My bad dude, I wasn't thinking. THIS is why I don't leave my thread! I'm apparently an uncivilized heathen.

(I know you didn't take it that way, but really I should have thought more about saying I hated the phones with the warm screen, that was uncool how I worded it -- I have removed the hate from the post, but it's immortalized in a quote anyway - ha)

:(
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crawshayi:
Wow I didn't know there were versions like that floating out there- I guess I got lucky because I seem to have the 'good' one, yet I got mine mid-2011 (on Verizon) so it would have been possible to get one of the others I guess...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztotherad:
haha, bro, when I use the Devil Kernel I can, but I don't use it anymore since I find that the cm10.1 kernel stable, just needs more options, in which I'm attempting to work on... I just need to figure out how to cherry pick.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbrad:
Its fine no offense taken especially from a great dev like you :)

Devil kernel only allows up to 1.4...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztotherad:
haha i know i know, but it doesn't include TWRP recovery at this time. but i may just have to install the devil kernel and see if cwm is better cause twrp is giving me problems

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddjonko:
Hello World,

I've got a question concerning the external 8gb sdcard on my phone,

the phone is rooted, has bootloader and cwm 6, the rom is stock btw

My phone can put/place some things to the sd but some don't,

for example,

- Camera saves some of the pics to it,

- My PC sees it when I connect the phone and I can put apps/music etc to it

but,

- I can't use the app2sd built into android assistant (or any other app2sd apps) to move the apps to the sd, they just won't see the sd,

- CWM wont backup to it,

I've searched the forum, but I can't actually find the right solution for this?

I'm new to all of this, and I want to learn. I've found some advices to similar problems and that the solution is to partition the sd, is that the catch or maybe something else?

Thank you in advance, newbie. :cowboy:

Edit

A new example of not seeing the sd in recovery,

I wanted to flash the "Sony Album" via the Pimp my Rom app, it downloaded the app successfully, it asked for clearing of the dalvik cache, I approved it,

phone rebooted and went into recovery, and then the recovery said that the file doesnt exist (something like that).

Edit

I've tried formatting the sd with fat32, no changes whatsoever :S

Edit: It works lol

[Asus Transformer TF700] Toni10:
Yes, the theme will be loaded onto the newer TWRP version as well.

But you won't have the GUI changes and new Pages of the TWRP Ver.2.5.0.0

For example the changes in the Wipe Menu.

Maybe some things will not work correctly.

So be careful when you use it!

I've already started to import the new codes of TWRP 2.5.0.0.

But there are many things to check.

I'll provide an update of the Theme ASAP.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Toni10:
Thank you for the feedback.

Sorry, but the start curtain is the only thing that can not be changed.

It’s not part of the XML or theme engine.

By that TeamWin has secured that their logo is always included.

will this work on the tf300t ver?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Toni10:
No, it will not work on TF300.

Because it depends on the display resolution.

The theme is made for 1920x1200 resolution.

The TF300 has 1280x800 resolution.

You need to port it to the resolution of your device

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] stephen_oliver:
What options do I have?

O2 have a standard battery @ £40 and an enhanced battery for £50, but no spec on either (capacity.

Expansys list the O2 standard battery only, but for the same price the iMate battery with a capacity of 1200mah (that's what they say)

Expansys and O2 also list the large back pack with CF slot and an extra battery, but that's only 300mah.

So what's the score? What is the standard battery capacity? Is the iMate battery better? What is the bets capacity option to go for?

NB I am also looking for WiFi connectivity. Anyone got experience with either the SD wifi cards or the CF wifi cards? I guess the benefit of the back pack + CF card is a) you can leave the SD memory in place and b) you get some extra battery capacity to match the extra drain. But then again, I only use SD memory for music, which I am not going to lister to while WiFI-ing ...

Opinions appreciated!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Irnbrulad:
There is only one battery for the XDA II.

The exansion pack will come with a 600mAh battery in it which will extend the life by half (standard battery is 1200mAh) and will let you use wi-fi cards etc.

£89.99

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemon07r:
Hi everyone im new to the forum :), new to android in general, im a pc whiz but a newb as far as phones go, I ordered my nexus 4 yesterday :). And plan on using the jellybam rom (unless you guys think there is a better rom I should use) but as far as kernels go im confused as to which version of the trinity kernel I should use.

(no url link to trinity kernel but it is available on the der kernal site and no url for jellybam but easily found with a quick google, but their website is easy to find, not allowed posting urls since im still new)

Here the newest one tf117 is a few days newer then tf113b, but at the end of the version of tf117 it says mechanical bull, which makes me relunctant to use that version, I dont know what it means, ive searched the net and cant find anything on it, so I assume it means its like a super testy version? I also cant seem to find any patch notes for tf113b -> tf117.

My second question, I read a interesting article:

paranoid-android-team-fixes-nexus-4-washed-out-colors-with-new-kernel (sorry no url since Im not allowed yet :()

I really want to use that kernel but at the same time I want to use the trinity kernel for performance (and being able to change voltages and clocks), is there anyway I can take the color setting/profiles that the paranoid android team worked hard on to tweak and move them to the trinity kernel or something like that to get the best of both worlds?

I'm still new here so sorry if I said something stupid lol. i want to get the most of my new phone :).

Edit: Decided im going to save myself the headache and go with francos kernel, but my second question still stands, anyway I can take the color profiling from the paranoid android teams kernel and use it with francos kernel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
use tf117, dont let the name mechanical bull scare you off. that name was made just for me. yes, you can change color/gamma on trinity. oh, and trinity comes with its own colors.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
And may I add said colors are just. Plain. Awesome-sauce! Try the kernel. You don't have to change anything with it at the beginning if you don't want to. ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemon07r:
Thank you for the replies! :) I will definately try tf117 then but I wont more then just gama change :/

"You get vivid colors without over saturation, almost true blacks, brightest whites, very little banding (still work to do in the darker grays). Might need some RGB tweaking still but TricksterMod is your friend. In short, your old washed out Nexus 4 will look like a new device, and without making it look like an overblown AMOLED. The difference is literally night and day.

You will not get this by tweaking RGB or amp0 & 1 alone. It's using all 9 gamma channel values, mixing LG's original settings with Googles anti-banding presets, but without cranking the gamma as they did. It took much tweaking to befriend these two."

That was the description for paranoid androids kernel. Would like to get best of both worlds.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you do realize that its just a person making the kernel sound really nice, embellishing it? theres color control in every n4 kernel. no different than in franco kernel. besides, it was faux that first uncovered the gamma controls. there are "reviews" of trinity kernel like that too, and other kernels/roms. plus, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. whats pleasant for one person, might be horrible for another.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemon07r:
Wow that does not make it any easier for me too choose a kernel then xD, I guess I will have to try them all till I find one I like.

img4.imagetitan(dot)com/img4/90ZiK9PfDbaA3al/6/6_clipboard01852.jpg (why am I not allowed sharing this picture I worked really hard on? ;(

Anyways here is me and my primal thinking, trying to figure out which files control what, and if I move around specific files would I be able to change those specific things? Like if I like one feature in trinity but like another in franco, or if I try the paranoid android colour settings and would like it in a different kernel.

Sorry if my concept is way off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you need 10 posts, and youll be able to post in the development threads too.

yes, you can learn to compile a kernel, then add in any cherry picks you want from other kernels. but, that is more advanced. you cant share features from other kernels unless its compiled with those features. anyways, its best to try tge kernels, and find the best one for your needs, and the one your device likes best :)

Okay first off I'm running Senseless Energy, the latest updated version.

When I plug my phone into my PC, it does not give me the option to change it to any other connection mode. I have the option checked to ask me everytime I connect the phone but it does not, it doesn't even show that the phone is connected at the top of the phone. I can run all my ADB commands, I've tried that and it works. I also noticed that if I go to Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks, and enable USB tethering, then disable it, all my USB Connection options will then be in the statusbar like they should be. It will let me change what connection type, etc., but when I disconnect the cable, the USB connection options stay in my statusbar until I click it and it gives me an error message.

I've also noticed that my mount/storage in my recovery, that also works as well. It's just a hassle having to go through all these steps to put my phone in disk drive mode when I connect it to a PC so any help is appreciated.
