[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] T0b3:
Hi,

so I've tried to use a Home.apk intented to use for a Xperia S but that kinda destroyed my phone and I hat to repair it using SEUS and reinstall everything.

My question is - is there a reliable apk for the Ion which I can use to decrease the amount of homescreens from 5 to 3?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Stock home.apk does not allow you to change the number of home screens. Sorry.

BTW, questions are supposed to be in the Q&A Section. Not the general section.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xxxware:
Actually you can. Go to home. Press menu button. Then press right soft button.then popup comes. Choose configure and then you can press on the x on the screen of the window of the homescreen. And there you go from 5 to 4 screens and so on

When playing with launchers, make sure you are doing it tight, or that you have a secondary launcher in case it doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
@OP - In case you want a stock launcher with 3 home screens, you can try decompiling it and change the number of home screens.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Here you go. I have tried to change the number of homescreens to 3. Hopefully it should work. Just download the apk, and replace it with the one in /system/app and set permissions like this -

It failed and rebooted and now....

4.00.005

on startup. takes a good 15 minutes to boot and it is very sluggish. obv no phone etc.

can sum1 help me out here?

i tried to redo the rom i made from the kitchen that worked. i attached the xda via usb and it keeps telling me to put the power coord in. it is in and theres nuthin wrong with the power :\

the "i am charging" lite on top of my xda is not on however :\

PLEASE HELP :*(

Thankyou !

MAB
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Biso007:
this typically sounds like you have a corrupted RSU upgrade files in the boot sector. you have to use SD card to update the ROM part then if you can access the xda again locate the file named RSupgrade64.cab in the startup directory under \windows and delete it. then try the RSU upgrade again.

good luck.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] MAB:
Thankyou for that.

Ill have to go pick up a SD card and reader/writer then.

What of my signal suddenly disappearing? I cant say I did anything to it, changed, played with or installed anything in a very long time. :\ just domestic use stuff.

Thanks again :D

My phone was S-ON and running HOLIC ROM. I tried to install Borked ROM on it but somehow it failed. Now I'm stuck in the HTC logo screen and couldn't get into recovery. I used the Volume-down + power buttom combo, it got me into the FASTBOOK, RECOVERY menu. I then select RECOVERY, instead of starting recovery, the phone went and reboot itself again and stuck in the HTC logo screen. I also tried to use the HTC Vivid All In One kit and got the same result. I sent the Boot into Recovery command from the kit, looked like the phone attempted to start recovery and then it reboot again and stuck in HTC logo screen.

Any help is appreciated.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WildfireDEV:
If it was a hard brick it wouldn't even boot it is probably just a flashing problem. Try wiping all of the partitions using recovery and then trying flashing a Rom. Remember that can is very bars so if you are using it I reccommed that you use either twrp or wcx.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Beware...

Do not wipe boot with wcx unless you have a boot.img kernel and are near your computer... it will only boot to recovery or hboot if you do

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elite Choob:
So my mum's phone suddenly stopped booting and wouldn't go past the Samsung boot screen, she had never rooted it or done any development to it. We tried everything except the obvious send it off to Samsung as the warranty had expired anyways and we figured it would cost a lot. :crying:

My first thought was to root it and then flash clockworkmod recovery, do a backup then factory reset, so I rooted it and flashed clockwork but when I booted into clockwork, it wasn't mounting any of the files, system, caches and even the sd card, i re-flashed it quite a few times but it just wasn't working. :(

So my final thought was to just flash a stock rom. So I downloaded one and then flashed it but its still stuck on the samsung boot screen. And finally I realised that none of this would work because usb debugging wasn't on, so this brings me to my question, I don't have access to the actual phone so is there any way I can enable usb debugging in order to fix this soft brick?:confused:

If it was just the files I used I've uploaded them below.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
I don't think USB Debugging matters here.

Try flashing a stock rom (not 4.0.4) first. Then, if it bootloops, go to stock recovery and do a factory reset.

Hopefully, that should help.:)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elite Choob:

Tell him to reflash via Odin, then boot it up and it should get stuck again, then boot into recover and factory reset, that fixed it for me. Gl :fingers-crossed:

Has he tried to reflashed using odin and it's not only him :p, I am sometimes the same.

EDIT: maybe there is a problem with the odin he is using or its the actual firmware? Is he using odin 1.85?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
A reflash won't hurt. :D

In fact, its always a good practice to do a factory reset before or after flashing a new ROM/firmware, especially when the android version is different.

U don't need to wipe if you're simply upgrading a ROM (like a new custom rom version). :)

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

Check if the firmware ur trying to flash is not corrupted or broken.

Use another version of Odin (v1.85 or v3).

Ensure that Kies is not running in Windows Task Manager.

Some antiviruses may interfere with Odin. You may try disabling it temporarily.

Try using a different USB port also.

Let know if he was able to flash it successfully (I do hope u guys know how to use Odin properly, because if you don't, things could get pretty bad.)

JB Leak 1, 2, 3 (official JB) and roms which based on the JB Leaks GPS positioning problem solved with gps_driver change!

The JB leak gps.conf i edited so many times, over and over and it was disastrous. After booting, it worked well, but after 1-2 hours the positioning / fixing was very slowly with or without wifi / data connection.

I thought that the problem is not with the gps.conf.

Yesterday I was looking for the official ICS and CM 10.1 roms - which have good and fast gps localisation - and after i found in the system\bin a gps_driver i compared this files - and changed on the JB Leak 2's gps_driver to ME ICS HKTWN's gps driver.

The result is excellent.

First test in a car - cc.30 km/h - when I turned on the GPS and it positioned approximately 30-35 seconds without wifi and data connection.

Secondly, in the first position of approx. 10 km tried - i waiting at a red light, after starting 7-8 seconds it has satellite connection, and after 16 seconds there was 18 meters of accuracy as indicated. A half hour later, 60 hours km/h started the GPS and 20 seconds after 3 meter accuracy showed my position. 1 hour later the next test - 10 seconds and 11 meter accuracy.

With data connections in 12 seconds and 8 meters accuracy. I woke up in the morning turn on gps and wifi and after 15 seconds I have 11 meter accuracy.

Download the attached file. It works only rooted phone

After downloading, extract and copies of internal storage on your phone or on the SD card and then file manager wich has root privileges (for example: rootexplorer) perform the following:

Copy the gps_driver to system\bin, whit this you overwriting the original file and set the permissions:

rwxr-xr-x

Use some of these gps.conf - original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630

and copy to system\etc, override the original gps.conf - or just leave the original gps.conf (you choose) - , and set permissions:

when you say " you must copy it from overwriting the original file and set the permissions"

Do you mean to say, I must replace the original file with this?

on system\etc, you already have a gps.conf, what should I do with that?

I am sorry, if I have been really silly and stupid
[Motorola Atrix 2] _ghiottone:
Yes, you are right. I missed a comma: "you must copy it from, overwriting" - you must overwrite the original gps_driver .

It is not necessary to change the gps.conf, but with the new .conf files the gps have faster positioning.

Mate I don't understand when you say GPS.conf method AND GPS_driver method. Replacing and changing permissions of both the files as specified in the OP are parts of the same method. And will did you use the GPS status app to check if you are able to get a GPS fix. Also don't forget to step outside when it's preferably clear. It helps. Also the first fix takes a while, I would reckon about 4-5 mins. :)

-Fell it down(Didn't happen)

-OC-Rom can cause(Maybe)
