[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nashy10:
Am I the only one that's aware of this? Many devs reccomend apps like setcpu and such, but none support separate governers for dual core or quad core. The app "kernel tuner" does let you change the governor on each core (only two for us), and I've noticed by changing governor with most kernel apps that it only changes the first cores governor. Why is there such a lack in per-core control? I find this should be known to all.

Interesting...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nashy10:
I thought so too, also most apps that change the kernel frequency only affect the first core as well.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Not totally true. Most kernels link the two so changing the freq or gov will change it across the board. Also the stock CM/AOSP kernel does this along with the stock based twiz kernels.

But some don't.. And may require a different CPU controller.

The first core does 90% of the work load anyway, so performance gain would be negligible in the end.

there is no spoon.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdavekid:
Agreed, the latest Cerux kernel lists a feature that links the frequencies of both cores automatically. FYI from checking many kernel releases they almost unanimously advise against using different govs on each core citing major performance issues.

But from what I understand you are correct in that some performance management apps would only affect the frequency of one core unless the kernel forces it such as Cerux does.

Just curious, my question is

Why is IMEI modification illegal in USA?
How is it illegal? Who prohibits it: FCC, Congress bill, Federal law....?

NOTE: I am NOT asking how to modify IMEI

That's against xda TOS. I'm asking

why it is illegal

. There's a difference.

Been trying to find an answer to this. From this previous thread, no one can give me a straight answer. Can't find any answer relating to US laws

I can find answers relating to UK laws:

example: In UK, it is illegal due to this Mobile Telephones (Re-programming) Act 2002 passed in 2002.. but then there's a loophole (i can modify IMEI if I created the device, or the manufacture allowed me to)... (I havent read any of the amendments to see if those loopholes are changed)
[General Questions and Answers] syung:
Currently, there is no specific law the prohibits the reprogramming of IMEI's explicitly. However, because IMEI's are used by wireless carriers as a unique ID, by reprogramming your IMEI, if that new IMEI shares an IMEI with someone else, you would be "impersonating" that person digitally, and therefore you would still be in violation of the law. Also note that wireless carriers use a blacklist by request of the government to blacklist stolen phones by IMEI, so if you have a blacklisted phone, and you reprogram the IMEI, you would be facing stiffer penalties than by just being in possession of a stolen mobile device.
[General Questions and Answers] paperWastage:
For GSM phones, IMEI is the device identifier, IMSI is the identifier for the sim card/subscriber. carriers should be using IMSI to identify users, not IMEI.

(for CDMA networks, the MEID/ESN identifies both the device and the subscriber .

but of course, carriers might be using IMEI + IMSI (google "Samsung lost IMEI" - IMEI set to 0 or blank when you flash custom roms. Some people can't use the phones, some people can)

A) T-mobile and At&t only began to share their blacklist recently... verizon will join them shortly this year. don't think there's a unified national list yet)

B) there's always a trade off between good and bad....

(i don't like using this analogy, but can't think of another one. let's stick to phones)

guns = bad guys can kill innocent people = bad

guns = good guys can use to protect themselves = good

weight bad v. good
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
The reason it is illegal is due to cell phone cloning. As I stated in the last thread. Yet you decide to open another? Well here is a little bit more detail

What is Cell Phone Cloning Fraud?

Every cell phone is supposed to have a unique factory-set electronic serial number (ESN/IMEI) and telephone number (MIN). A cloned cell phone is one that has been reprogrammed to transmit the ESN/IMEI and MIN belonging to another (legitimate) cell phone. Unscrupulous people can obtain valid ESN/MIN combinations by illegally monitoring the radio wave transmissions from the cell phones of legitimate subscribers. After cloning, both the legitimate and the fraudulent cell phones have the same ESN/MIN combination and cellular systems cannot distinguish the cloned cell phone from the legitimate one. The legitimate phone user then gets billed for the cloned phone’s calls. Call your carrier if you think you have been a victim of cloning fraud.

As changing the IMEI is cloning a device it falls under this FCC law.

Now after having one thread closed and you open another on this same topic that you know is not to be talked about on XDA, I will leave it as this. If you have any more issues concerning this contact the FCC about it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] savage24x:
So my friend wiped his Galaxy Note II, and wiped the ROM file with it by accident. Whoops. sideload is getting an error, while adb push is also not working to the sdcard. We are using adb push NameOfROM.zip /sdcard/ and similar. adb sideload zip does not work either. He has TWRP installed, which has not helped. Any other ideas?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] savage24x:
Thanks for the help guys, but I finally got sideload working. All I had to do was go back to the orginal zip, use the original name, then use sideload. We renamed the rom which probably caused some sh*t.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronodekar:
I have an Xperia Arc that I unlocked months ago. It's currently running "Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0" with kernel version "2.6.32.9-perf BuildUser@BuildHost #1" - whatever that means. Frankly, I've forgotten how to go about flashing new firmware on the phone.

Recently, I've needed the ability to record phone calls - incoming & outgoing. The different apps I've tried all have the same problem - it can record my voice, but the other end is very quiet - I've tried everything; bluetooth headsets, speaker mode ... etc. None of the recordings are satisfactory.

So, I did some digging for a good app and came across CallRecorder in this thread,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441643

And what I understand is that I need a custom kernel to get it working. Fortunately, the Xperia Arc is listed as a supported phone. Can someone point me to a good ROM and kernel combination that works well for CallRecorder? Ideally, I would like some idiot-proof instructions, but links to the required threads should suffice. I've done it before, so it shouldn't be too hard to do it again; right?

Last question - I need some way to display extra information when receiving a call. In the notes section of my contacts I've mentioned "old professor from ABC University" or "coworker from XYZ office". Is there any way to display this on-screen when a call comes in? Helps me to recollect the person better. Too many people have identical first names and the beginning bits of conversation get awkward. :(

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Maybe you can experiment? If it works on custom kernels then ot should work on most custom ROMs.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronodekar:
I am currently using the Vengeance kernel 1.35 with the custom ROM, Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2 running on top. It took me HOURS to get it working however - mostly because I goofed up the instructions. I'm thankful to Sony in this regard. If I did it with some other hardware, I might have permanently bricked it by now.

Anyway, I got the trial version of CallRecorder (link in OP) and have it running. Called family and had them call me back - the recording works like a charm! Both the incoming & outgoing voice streams. PERFECT!!! :) After a couple of weeks, I'll probably buy the app from the Play store.

Now, I have my own annoyances with the Ultimate HD 3.0.2 interface - specifically the pulldown notification bar. Its too cluttered for my tastes. BUT, the point of this thread was to find a working kernel+ROM combination that worked with CallRecorder. And the trial version of the app works.

If I get time to try other kernel+ROM combinations, I'll post the results back here - but don't expect much. Life's hectic for me right now and if it weren't for the fact that I absolutely NEEDED to record calls, I wouldn't have even bothered re-flashing my phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markmm24:
Hi guys so just like most of you in here, I'm waiting on the galaxy s4 for Verizon. I am currently eligible for an upgrade, but I have a question regarding a a possible loophole for keeping my unlimited data. I share the account with my father along with 3 other lines. If I were to transfer the upgrade to another one of the lines and "upgrade" that line and then deactivate/reactivate on my line, would I be able to keep my unlimited data? And how would I go about doing this online with the preorder? Thanks for your time!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
There is a thread on here about keeping unlimited data. Do a search and you should find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] P1NK13P13:
You will lose the unlimited data on the line that's ready to upgrade, if you don't transfer it. If you decide to transfer the upgrade from the line that has the unlimited data, you'll be safe & won't lose it. I hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Parafly:
Do what I did. I just bit the bullet and went to shared data but sold my unlimited data plans first.

I sold my wifes and mine for $750 combined. It will take years for me to make up that difference as I WFH three days a week so I am around wifi pretty much 5 out of 7 days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markmm24:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I am going to try to just upgrade one of the other lines that's on a basic connection and then just activate the phone on my line when I get it. When I go to preorder online, it asks if I will be purchasing a SIM card and if not it asks for the SIM ID that I will be using. Should I purchase another SIM card or just give them mine? Im not sure of the process so I'm iffy about giving them my SIM ID because I'm not sure what that will do. any help is much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] P1NK13P13:
Well, if the S4 is unlocked & your old SIM card is a micro SIM, you'll be fine using that. You might have some issues using your old SIM if the Verizon S4 isn't the unlocked version...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markmm24:
We're talking about Verizon here not the international version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JihadSquad:
How do you "sell" these plans? I have two unlimited lines and one 4GB/$30 line that I would like to sell off, as we will likely not buy the phones at full price.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fade2green514:
If you have an upgrade available on another line you can use that, but you need to first activate it onthe line you bought it for, then transfer it to the unlimited line.

Another prospective option ive considered and decided against is starting a new line, paying $199.99 plus $30 activation, and then immediately terminating for $350. You get it for $70 plus tax cheaper than paying full retail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
That $199 ends up being just over $300 when you finally click submit. $50 MIR makes it $249.99 to start.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rednoved:
I've had success in transfering the upgrade to the basic line on my account that did not have data. Once you get the phone, reactivate the basic phone on the basic line. Then activate the new phone on your original upgrade line with unlimited data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
OT: I ended up ditching unlimited. The extra $$/mon savings was worth more than keeping it. I'm on wifi for about 90% of my data anyway. My employer-provided (yes, I keep separation btwn work/personal) phone still has unlimited and I can tether to it if I need to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ManVsBeer:
Hey guys; new here, awaiting the Verizon GS4

I had luck when the iPhone 5 came out keeping my unlimited Data. We have 5 lines with two still on unlimited, 3 on the 2gb. With 5 we almost always have at least one available for an upgrade. I was on a Galaxy Nexus with unlimited and I upgraded another line that had a 2gb plan. When the phone arrived I simply did the switch online with the new imei and the nano sim on my unlimited line replacing my Nexus. Everything went smooth.

Since then I purchased a nano sim adapter and have often switched back and forth between the iPhone and the Nexus; I'm Nerdy that way. No problem switching the sim between phones. I run whichever phone I want depending on my mood. My nexus is fully rooted and running the Sourcery Custome ROM and the latest Franco Kernal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Proweedsmoker:
What I did was this: My wifes ona share everything plan while I still have unlimited. We added a line to HER share everything plan, got the S4 @200$... And I will just swap devices on VZW website from the bionic I use now. My mother in law works for VZW said I should be able to just put my unlimited SIM in the S4, and it will work right away...However, may need to activate it on the line line, deactivate it, put on mine.... (We have tablets for our kids just incase they require a device on that new line, we will simply give one of those access)

Good luck...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
what happens to the basic line after deactivating it ( since u have to put it on a data plan for it to have smartphone...) do u have to call and cancle the data or will that happen automatically after deactivating smartphone and putting old "dumb" phone back on it? will this result in a fee?

Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help...

Got myself a used XDA Keyboard (G7B0) UK layout, without manual or CD. So far, I enjoy using the keyboard for typing documents on the go (beats bringing my laptop).

Does anyone have a list of keyboard shortcuts that work with the different WM2003 applications? I'd like to minimize the taps to the screen while I am using the keyboard because I touchtype with both hands and it is a bother to pick up the stylus every now and then.

One particular application I'd like to find shortcuts for is the Inbox application. For example, is there a way to press the 'Send' button from the keyboard?

Also, where can I get updated UK drivers for the keyboard? The version I have is 1.22. I've seen version 2.0 drivers out there but they're for US or German layouts, which messes up the key mapping on my UK version keyboard. I am hoping a new version will fix a problem with the keyboard being disabled everytime the PocketPC wakes up.

Thanks!
[General Topics] pdhenry:
I don't have an external keyboard, but on the onscreen keyboard the typical Windows shortcut keys work in many applications I use -

Crtl-X = Cut

Crtl-C = Copy

Crtl-V = Paste

Crtl-Z = Undo

Crtl-Q = Exit (minimize) application

Crtl-U = Format Underline

Crtl-I = Format Italics

Crtl-B = Format Bold

Crtl-N = New Document

Click, then Shift and Click again = select a range of text, files, cells, etc.

what firmware did u flash. the only problem in newest JB form spain region is just about the symbol but the layout is still in qwerty. To fix this, you shoul edit it manually or just take layout from keyboard from your ics rom to your newest JB rom. :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] kasper7777:
samsung galaxy chat

I have the same problem. I have update my samsung galaxy chat with an offical rom to jelly bean 4.1.

But my physical slide keyboard has changed from azerty to qwerty.

I have change my screen keyboard but change my physical keyboard didn't work.

Help me please???
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] n0ak:
I Don't know about azerty keyboard layout, cause i'm using qwerty :D.

But u can change the key characters of physical keyboard layout on system/csc/Your region code(for spain it's PHE)/system/usr/keychars/bcm_keypad_v2.kcm.

edit it and change it using your virtual keyboard. OR you can use ICS bcm_keypad_v2.kcm from old rom (if you have your backup).

That's it. You will get your old layout keyboard and will fix forever.

============

JUST PRESS THANKS IF I HELP YOU :D

============
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] kasper7777:
And how u do that? I don't have much experience i change the key characters. Do u have to root your mobile Phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] n0ak:
Of course you should. How can you edit your system without Root? Just edit the key i mention above. Before that click on screen keypad on the "language and input setting". And then just take look for chars that you think miss, then fix it using your virtual keyboard.

You can use root explorer to do that.

Hope this will help you. Press thanks if yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] warrell:
Solution

You can replace original bcm_keypad_v2.kl with the file you find at link http://ge.tt/4nhbXzg/v/0?c

You can push it into windows file manager and the use for example Root Explorer (yes, root before your phone) to copy it to system>usr>keylayout

The button to access to chatON don't run. If you want set it, before open the file and replace CUST1 with CHATON.
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] dzsemx:
small tutorial to change galaxy chat b5330 keyboard layout from spanish to english or other

so

you have customer customization files, that means folder /system/csc

here you can find all keyboard layouts

CPW folder contains custumization data for britain

for other layouts check it yourself

in PHE are the spanish

now you can:

a:

delete from PHE keylayout and keychars folder contents and /system/usr/keylayout and keychar files will be active

b:

move keylayout and keychars folder contents from CPW(or your layout) to PHE folder

it works... after reboot :)

at least for me :)

and you can play with the keyboard layout now as described in other tutorials, you can simulate DPAD too, if you make one key CTRL or META, but it's not working in many apps, on launcher i can navigate

and you can add some buttons to wake up device, not to kill power key
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] ryangco:
Hi dzsemx, I would like to ask something regarding in your reply. Is it possible to set ALT+SPACEBAR to wake my device? And also i want to use 0(zero) to open google search app. Please give me a step by step procedure if this is possible. Please? Thanks in advance! :D

hi

you can try to install a firmware from LUXEMBOURG

i had the same problem so i have downloaded this firmware from sammobile
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] darkyyto:
My Method

I had the same problem with the keyboard, anda after a few attempts I finally bring it back to a good configuration.

1-. Root the phone of course

2-. Download a file manager and go to system/csc

3-. Here we find the hole stuff from the available countries in phone's configuration. It's important to know which is the sale code of our firmware (For example, my firmware's code is ITV, and is from Italy)

4-. Now we have to look for the correct file for our keyboard to work properly. The best solution is know the sale code of our language (For example, I have a spanish keyboard, and the sale code of spain is the Phone House España PHE).

5-. Now that we know the sale code, we go to system/csc/XXX(Sale Code)/system/usr/keychars, where we can find a file called "bcm_keypad_v2.kcm". This is the supposed correct file for our keyboard. If we dont trust, we can open it as a text file and edit with a text editor. If chracters match with sysmbols inside the file, that means that it is the correct file.

6-. We copy bcm_keypad_v2.kcm and go back right to system/csc. Now we look for the sale code of the firmware that we have flashed (ITV, in my case) and go to system/csc/YYY(Sale Code)/system/usr/keychars, and replaced the file there with the other one that we copied before.

7-. Finally, go to system/usr/keychars and there again we replaced the bcm_keypad_v2.kcm file there with the other one that copied before.

8-. Now reboot and try typing if the keyboard works right or continue working wrong. At least for me works :laugh:

My theory is that when we flash a rom, the country from where it comes their csc files are taken to system, and we have to replace both keyboard file in the csc repository and keyboard file in the current system.

I hope this will help you :good: Good luck!

Thanks for the helpful tutorial!

This fixed my wrong keyboard layout and the shortcuts buttons.

Now only one issue still remains for me..

The "Sym" button used to switch my keyboard language but now pops up the symbols window.

This way I need to have the on-screen keyboard enabled in order to switch through languages.

Any idea which button mapping I should change to enable language switching on the "Sym" button?

I have root access so I only need to know which file and button mapping option I should change to fix this.
