nice modding info... ;)

I have one question.. can I change the IC regulator with AN its not LM .. (what mean LM) ? ... tanx before
[Hardware Hacking General] guba91:
Well, i don't even know if this circuit works. The lm7805 is a voltage regulator, 5v out :)
[Hardware Hacking General] ragnatelato:
aymiu cloack

god modding
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
Not a bad idea, but the 7805 is a linear regulator.

With 12V in you will be wasting 58% of the energy.

100%-(5V/12V)=58%

You want a switching regulator.

In some ways the easiest thing is to just buy a car cigarette lighter charger,

take the case off and solder a battery directly to the circuit board.

Or you could use something like this on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-to-DC-Co...215?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd0dba49f

Look further, this was just the first thing that I found off-hand.
[Hardware Hacking General] sonuame:
Yes you can use,,, this AN/LM gives us the information abt the manufacturing material.

But LM7805 is a good quality material...
[Hardware Hacking General] ahmedzz:
Nice :thumbup:
[Hardware Hacking General] Sgt.Incontro:
As another posted said, you would be wasting over half the input power as heat - which means that the LM7805 will heat up like mad, so hot it can easily burn your fingers. This is due to the drop-out voltage being too high (Vout-Vin). One way to overcome this is to use an input transformer to step down the voltage from 12V to around 5V. (Keep in mind that the input voltage must always be around 1.25V higher than the output voltage though!)

And then add a heatsink to the 7805 too of course.

Then it should work. (I would also add an input diode for reverse polarity protection, for good measure.)

Hope this helps :good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mocsab:
I am trying to get the clock and the weather widget to show up on my lock screen - my old NOTE2 had the option in Lockscreen settings to show weather on Lock screen but I cant find that option here.

I was able to add a weather widget to the lock screen - but when you first open the lock screen all you see is the clock - then, if I swipe down on the screen - it opens the weather ap - see my screen shots attached.

The first is what you see when you first get to the lock screen

the second is what you see when youi swipe down.

I am wanting to get the look of the second screen shot - when you first see the lock screen -

any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] holmesm:
S4 Weather

I couldn't find a way to do it either, so I downloaded this little app and it's kind of cool.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock&hl=en

You can add several other notifications to it as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] aawshads:
I use beautiful widgets on all my devices, lets me set weather, clock, battery, and all completely customizable. One of the few apps I ever paid for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Will822:
Can you set it up with pattern security? The images on the Play store shows that you can but I haven't been able to do so. Every time I set up the widget and set the pattern security, it reverts back to the standard default clock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] holmesm:
Well I did once, but it has now reverted to the regular lock screen. Looks like maybe a bug - The other notification extensions I picked are taking up the whole screen. When I first installed it moved everything small up next to the clock when I had the pattern visible on the lock screen. I'm not sure how to make the widget smaller as of yet. Other users have reported the same problem, so maybe there will be a future fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] KennyG123:
Just wanted to clarify what the differences are between android and original development. Here are some KEY points by our very own pulser_g2.

The following are most likely “Original Development”:

*Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them

*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.

*A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.

*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.

*ROMs where the developer has made a custom kernel for it.

*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.

*

Significant

port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:

*Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favorite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.

*Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.

*Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.

*Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.

*A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.

*A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)

You can find all the info for it here. Threads will be moved if they do not meet the "Original" development requirements. Thank you guys and have fun! :highfive:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomLamp:
Hello,

I got an OTA update to 4.1.2 Build JZO54K on my Galaxy Tab 2 P3110.

The layout changed with that update.

The old version had a better organized notification bar on the bottom.

Now there are only four buttons on the bottom and a small notification bar on the top.

In my opinion the old layout was better if tablet was used in landscape mode.

Is there a possibility to change it back?

Many thanks in advance

This has probably been asked countless times and I have googled around and found alot of answers that contradict each other.

I have a few good app ideas that I would like to develop however I am not really educated in the coding part of technology. Im more of a hardware wiz...

Anyways, I am currently teaching my self C++ and its going alright. Know the basics (possibly the basics of the basics...). The reason why I chose C++ is because its on the common computer languages out there. Anways, I want to build an app that is interactive (with graphics embedded, sounds etc) but have NO idea how to start. Can I actually develop an android app with only the basics of C++? I've downloaded the android SDK but dont know what to do with it >.<

[HTC EVO 3D] N1xX:
Hello everyone, I'm currently using stock andorid 2.3.4 and though I could use custom ROM. My problem is, I found many tutorials to unlock my phone and I don't know now which method I should use :confused:

This is list of tutorials I found:

What would you recommend for me? My hboot version: 1.49.0018

Should I use htcdev method or downgrade to 0007? What's the difference?

Second thing, 4ext recovery requires root to install, but to root my evo I need a recovery yes? So, I understand I should use cwm first and then change it to 4ext?

And last thing, I don't need s-off now probably, but can I switch from s-on to off in any moment without problem in case of need?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomix86:
This topic made my day. However I will try to help, firstly only one sim slot in your clone will have 3g/wcdma support, and even then it probably only supports a couple of bands. Finally you also need the correct apn settings.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastStandingDroid:
Hehe copies, I love them sadly as Samsung kies reads your device information it will recognize that it's not an official phone. Also the firmware is probably not from Samsung as well. As it's a copy it will probably never have official firmware. Sorry but I have to say that kies won't help you. :(

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Victor:
A better way (??)

Why would one want to do this?

1. Extended ROM is (as ITSME has pointed out) a Disk on Chip.

1a. It is totally lockable/unlockable -- and can be deleted/added to if one wants to, as long as one understands a few basic things.

2. When the device is hard resetted, after booting is complete, one automatically runs the CAB files in Extended ROM that "localize" the device in accordance with the Carrier's wishes. This is a good thing, and a bad thing... especially if the SW they install is Caller ID, for example, that eats memory and battery performance. But it is a needed thing for the most part in my opinion.

BUT.....

What if you could do the following:

1. Delete your entire extended Rom (ITSME has shown this to be possible)

2. Take the extended ROM files "as is" from all of the carriers out there -- kind of like ala carte menu choices -- and place them somewhere where upon your choosing, could be installed immediately at one's whim (even with the same parameters and running as if they were still came from the Extended ROM)

3. Never have to worry about flashing your device again, unless there is a significant OS reason to do so.

4. Forget using tools one doesn't need to use.

5. Tweaking a config.txt file -- why bother if ya don't have to.

Sound Good????

In my opinion, the only real reason we have many people out there playing around with flashing ROMS is that they want a "perfectly customized device" every time they hard reset. The REAL, Operating System upgrades and Radio stack upgrades are not needed as often and people are willing to wait until their device OEM gets around to the upgrading themselves.

Bottom line: Hard Reset, install your own programs to your liking, and have your device almost as if you never resetted it up and running in a matter of minutes (2 or 3, not 30) with no risk at all to your ROMS.

If this is what people REALLY would rather have, instead of flashing extended ROMS and risking killing their machines....

In a day or two, I will have a (very) little app made that can do this, and show you the "secret" (though I think this is not a secret -- but could be wrong) do doing this.

This post is sent out to "test the water" on this app/solution I will provide.

((no charge))

Feel free to comment, so I can see if people want it or not -- so I will know if to bother making (have made) /telling how to do this.

Plus, also feel free to comment if my thinking here is completely from Mars
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] soperjon:
Excellent idea. Just a simple list of cab files with location, check box to select and parameters if required is all thats needed inmo. You could then store the cab where you want, SD or Extrom, and then after a hard reset just run the app to execute the select cab's

Can't wait, certainly prevent all those deep despare moments when it doesn't go smoothly and you think you've trashed you device !!! :(
