[Sony Xperia ZL] hardbrick123:
I asked sony mobile tech support today about how I can get a device with bootloader unlock status allowed: yes,

I asked him do all carriers lock the bootloader and he said carriers dont do anything to the bootloader status, carriers

only put the simlock on so it discourages you from switching to another carrier...

Then I asked why some have allowed: yes and some allowed: no, he just said some batches will have yes and some no,

when the shipment of phones goes to the carriers from the factory some are just factory bootloader locked allowed = no,

He said he knows different people with same sony device from same carrier and one guy will have allowed = yes and some allowed = no...

I dont know if what the guy said is true or not, what do you guys think?

For those of you that bought the device factory unlocked from amazon or some online retailer, can you chime in

what your batch number is?
[Sony Xperia ZL] coilbio:
I don't think that's true, why would Sony bother to make those type of changes without a request from carriers, but with android handset manufacturers, sometimes you just dont know.

It would make sense to flash the phones all the same.

I haven't heard of a carrier ZL with an unlocked boot loader, that's what I've been asking people.

Do you have one? Is it a carrier phone, and is the boot loader locked or unlocked?

I get mine Friday from Newegg, ill report back as soon as I can.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ryude:
I get mine from Newegg tomorrow, I'll also check.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hardbrick123:
Just ordered from shopblt...

I want an unlockable bootloader......dont know how sony is "supporting the developer community" by allowing carriers

to hard lock the bootloader status...

Gotta assume the tech guy on the sony mobile canada support guy was just screwin with me since everyone on the

internet has same results of no unlocked bootloader from carrier unit...

Im forced to order from shopblt cuz I live in Canada and no where can you buy a factory oem mobile device in this country,

and they wont even sell you the carrier locked phones outright....you have to sign a three year contract or sign up a

month-to-month plan and you have to pay for the first time activation and first months fee......

Couldnt order from newegg cuz they dont ship to Canada...

Expansys has it for 700 while shopblt is 575.....

Is there anywhere else that sells c6506 at ~600 and can ship to Canada?

my only fear right now is Im praying I dont get exactly One (1) or Two (2) dead pixels since sony wont consider a device defective with 2 or less dead pixels.......shopblt also has no return or exchange policy on this phone =(

If I do get 1 or two dead pixels plz dont be in the middle of the screen lol =/

Pretty sure all carrier locked versions come with permanently locked bootloaders.

If you want to please join this bounty to give developers extra incentive to crack the locked bootloaders:

it is possible to find the tool that the carriers use to no allow bootloader unlock? Why if Sony is development aware, the carriers don't?? :(

Is there a list of safe stock bloatware apps that can be removed from stock GB27?

I used Sdx Stock App Removal to remove the bloatware that I could match with the corresponding .apk file and those listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35744929&postcount=2

However, there is still more bloatware that I can not find the corresponding .apk for removal. Is there a list of stock apps that are safe to be removed?

PS: The .apk files seem to be named differently in GB27 for the same bloatware app when compared to previous android versions...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Try this one version 2.4

I know there is a list somewhere of some other things you can remove too.

Titanium Pro comes in handy here too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sinister254:
i dont know of a list but i dont have a hard time removing any bloatware and to be the safe side if you dont know what your touching you can easily mess that rom up but no big since if you do mess up your rom you can reflash it:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ctbearz:
That one is essentially the same list. The app I have allows me to remove these stock apps easily so I don't need to use TP. Still...there are some apps left over of which I can't find the corresponding .apk files to remove. Maybe if there were a way to find out the .apk filename associated with apps installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
Download romtoolbox. Go to app manager. Long click an app. Click show more in the next window. It will show you the apk path / data directory
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
I've been using SystemCleanup for a while and love it. Provides a description of a lot of the apps and whether they're safe to remove or not (one notable exception I would NOT remove is the stock galley). You can also freeze apps or convert user apps to /system and even odex them.

So removed get prop lines in updater script now I am getting installation aborted status 0 error
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsebentley:
I would suggest you reload the original firmware, it is available from your manufacturers site, this should get you working again, then do a search here on the forum for CWM A13 there is one made for the different Partition schemes used on these devices available here on the forum that works nicely on many different roms . Any time you flash something to your tab and lose functionality it is probably best to revert to stock to start over.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsjursen:
A lot of china clones with Allwinner cpu do not have original rom online
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsebentley:
Micromax fun book does have a site with roms available for the models they sell... I have pulled many of their roms for testing/modding.

google is your friend... also a forum site called techknow.me has a huge selection of factory firmwares as well as custom ones for the

allwinner soc based tabs as well as many others...

HI all - it seems as if every time I'm at a live music performance and want to record a video, the audio is absolutely atrocious. I saw that there may have been some sort of bitrate mod for the Epic Touch to address this, is there anything for the Epic?

Running CM 10.0, FWIW. Generally using Camera ICS+. No custom kernels.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burban502:
Run a custom kernel :P Anything with Voodoo Sound will provide vastly superior audio playback and recording! I unfortunately have no suggestions for which to run though, since you're still rocking CM 10.0, but there are a few if you check the Developers section. I run the AOKP ROM with Nitest Kernel and have zero issues, but you have to run some other kernel then what comes packaged with the ROM because AOKP doesn't include Voodoo Sound code (plus, Nitest makes things much more responsive). One small additional caveat though, the thread for Nitest is Didhy's version and it doesn't natively include BigMem code for 720p video and requires you to flash an additional package, but Effsi's version comes with it included. This is Effsi's version of Nitest if you're interested. It's from March 8 but I had been running it up until two days ago, so don't let it's age deter you, but he's working on an update :P
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyperkub:
Let me rephrase that, no custom kernels yet ;)

I don't want to go to 4.2.2 due to the Bluetooth issues...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burban502:
What issues? :eek: I don't use my Epic as a phone, not that I'd use a BT headset anyways, but BT has worked just fine for me to do a device-to-device file transfer. So either it isn't affecting that portion of BT's abilities, or AOKP have resolved whatever it is...

At any rate. I'm not sure what Radio you use (Epic or Nexus), but here is Effsi's last Nitest for JB v4.1 (Epic Radio).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngSanley:
I have Android-x86 (latest 4.2.2) since 2 days ago. When I connect my network via wifi, it goes blank, so I decided to skip the wifi and disable it. So I found way to connect internet via Huawei USB Dongle and everything goes well but some Google Service dont. After some research I found that using TTY to connect USB Dongle doesn't change the signal bar and leave the signal bar to blank, but I can connect to internet, as I said.

So, my final question:

How I can fake the signal bar ?

sent from my Android Laptop with xda-developers app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerzrulez007:
Faking signal bar

I didn't got ur question exactly..

But according to my experience faking is nt that really easy as setting a wallpaper..

You can change your settings using root explorer and editing sim or wifi properties (As I didnt got what you want to fake) to display full 100% strength even when there is no signal..

But first make a nandroid backup..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngSanley:
I need to fake either wifi or 3G connection, just to fool the Google Play app

btw where is the location of the file i can edit?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesellerfrank:
I think this one is not possible. The possible is removing the google play link to an specific apps but you need to be root your phone and use lucky patcher but the problem is... not all apps link to google play are supported with lucky patcher...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngSanley:
No, you don't understand me, I don't wanna remove Google Play, but I wanna run Google Play with TTY connection via USB Dongle
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoli1972:
Any news on this?

Similar to AngSanley, I want to use Google based apps like navigation on a 'non-standard' internet connection, a bluetooth internet connection (via Blue VPN). Unfortunately, Google based apps or some of the non-Google ones that check for either wifi or 3G / GSM internet connection, (like TuneIn Radio) refuse to work with it.

I need to fake an established wifi or 3G / GSM internet connection to get them working. The only Google based app that works with my bt connection is Google Play. Many other non-Google apps that obiously aren't set to check for such a 'standard' internet connection are working fine.

In my opinion, Google should remove this really senseless inconveniece. This is a limitation in fact.

As Promised Today djrbliss a.k.a Dan released Root Exploit for XT910 And Droid Bionic which running on Jellybean..

For now Technically not possible to root on windows but may be in future one click root tool will be available from Dan..

First to root you Have to use Linux. Preferably 32Bit if u have Ubuntu in Ur Computer proceed if not u can try LiveCd to root your Phone.

Once you Booted into Ubuntu..

Type

mkdir /tmp/share

Install Samba Package

sudo apt-get install samba

Edit the Config for file samba as mentioned Below

sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

add the following Lines as mentioned below

[share]
path = /tmp/share
available = yes
valid users = guest
read only = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes

save it then Create username through this command

sudo useradd guest -m -G users

then Set password

sudo passwd guest

Then restart Samba Server

sudo restart smbd

Download the Files

cd /tmp/share
wget http://vulnfactory.org/public/motoshare2.tgz
tar xvf motoshare2.tgz
sudo chmod 755 run.sh

you'll need to know the IP address of your Linux host, which you can get by running "ifconfig" from your terminal it should be 192.168.xx.xx not 127.5.xx.xx

Now take your Smartphone and Enable usb Debugging and the make sure that youare connected through WIFI

Open Stock "Files" r "Filemanger App"3rd party apps wont work
