[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaViDoViTsCh:
I'm looking for a ROM as stock as possible for my girlfriends SGS2.

I read about the driver issues of the camera in custom ROM's, so I don't really need that.

After 2 years, it got time to boost up this SGS2, so I would like to root it (to have more possibilities with some software like AdFree, JuiceDefender, etc) and perhaps flash the kernel with a better one that is optimalized for better battery use and performance.

Does anybody have tips or a better idea? There is so much to find and test here, that I don't really know which one to choose.

First I gotta find a good how-to for rooting this phone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chekhn:
Well this looks like a "what is best" thread to me, but however, take look at different kernels and read about them to see which fits you best.

And for rooting i would say CF-root, but if you are on ICS then you can just install Siyah kernel and you will get root.

(!!!! be careful with emmc brick bug !!!!)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaViDoViTsCh:
I'm just wondering if it's better to just root the (newest) stock ROM or just install a complete new stock ROM wit root because I don't want driver issues with the camera drivers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaq:
1. install latest stock JB 4.1.2 (Nordic) XWLSN

2. download and copy the Philz kernel for XWLSN to device external sd

3. go into recovery mode and install from .zip file which will flash the custom recovery + stock kernel + root

4. you can try your tweaks or you can download NeatROM lite 4.6.1

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
Good evening,

This isn't really a huge deal but I do want to get to the bottom of this.

Does both Z and ZL have OptiContrast Panel? I've checked both white papers and theres only ONE line that mentions it:

like what is that even supposed to mean? I thought OptiContrast was supposed to be better? Explanation of OptiContrast Panel

anyway so I went to dig deeper. I've used to own 2 ZLs C6506 and 1 Z C6602, currently with C6603.

Both Zs (C6602/3) back of the box clearly states "OptiContrast Panel"

whereas,

if i do recall clearly, both ZLs (C6506) has nothing mentioned on the back of the box.

SSs below, the two without it are ZLs and the one with it is Z, as you can see the water drop picture on the side stating that its water resistant.

1) Does Z and ZL even have OptiContrast Panel? or does it mean something else for Xperia line?

2) Is OptiContrast Panel limited to only Sony TVs? or is Sony throwing us off, part of marketing scam?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexp999:
Going by the description you posted for the term, I'm pretty sure it just refers to the bezel around the display.

On the Xperia Z regardless of colour choice, when the display is off the entire front glass is black.

On the Xperia ZL the bezel is the colour of the rest of the phone. So you don't get one black sheet of glass when off.

Just compare the white version of each and you will see what I mean.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
ahhh that would make a bit more sense, but its really a shame that they cant bring the tech to the phones. Sony couldve thought of a better name for this rather than using "OptiContrast" Panel -.-

all just seems like a marketing scam sigh

Hey Guys,

I'm having a couple of issues with setting up adb on my Linux Box (Xubuntu 12.04) I downloaded Android SDK and installed Platform-Tools. I've tried most of the methods on XDA but when I "./adb devices" I get nothing. I have a Micromax A87 which is a rebranded version of Mito A78 (Anybody heard of it???).

I would like help with another issue too. I recently got into theming, I edited some .pngs (not 9s) and compiled it, then signed it and zipaligned it but when I put it in /system/app and rebooted, it worked only partially. The one's with the default mode as RGB work, but the one's with the default mode "indexed" didn't. Does Anybody have any Ideas??? :confused:

BTW, I use Gimp and I change the mode to RGB before editing them.

Thanks in Advance...

Might be worth reading this before starting another thread - [GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - Getting started on XDA, I know you're new, you're obviously eager to do something based on your other thread, but keep this in mind, nothing you've got to ask (which so far) hasn't been asked or discussed many a time before, so if themeing is what you want to get into, click the second link in my sig, read it, bookmark it then try and put into practice what it is you're trying to learn, and if at first you don't succeed, starting a new thread to ask a question that you'll probably figure out the answer to whilst you wait for someone to reply with an answer you could have probably found by typing your thread title into Google, isn't going to speed things up or help you learn.

There are some links to using apktool with Linux in my guide btw which should be of help. :)

*Original Post*

Hey guys,

I started developing for Android about 3 Months ago. I published 1 really basic app on Google Play before. Now I am working on a new app.

This app is basically a Fuel Log App which also calculates consumption and a few statistics. At this time the app only works for Liters, Euro and Liter/100km but i plan to make this adjustable in the Settings, like you can already see. I just don't know yet how to implement this.

I still have to rewrite the hole simpleCursorManager stuff which is deprecated and also seems to cause problems on Android 4.0 Devices.

I would really like to hear some opinions about the current version especially about the design. Of course i would love to hear suggestions too. If someone wants to help, i would be happy, too.

I attached some screenshots below.

The App is for Android 4.0+

You can get the app here: (V0.4beta / 04.05.2013)

Hello Xda team!

I post my first message to go with the purchase of my first Android tablet!

I have been tempted by a JXD P1000 with the following characteristics:

-Cortex A9 2x1.2GHZ

-Capacitif led screen IPS 1024x600 1080p

-Android 4.1 Jelly bean

-Internal memory 8 Go

-External memory 32 Go

-1 Go RAM

-Wifi B/G/N

-Bluetooth

-Front and rear camera 0.3 and 2mpxl

-3G

-GSM

-GPS

I have chosen to read books and to replace my old phone with something new. :)

However, I come with a lot of questions!

I like to customize what I have, and the first thing I want is to remove embedded applications origins.

I read on the internet "you must have root access", but I have not found a tutorial on google for this new tablet.

I'm pretty novice but I know fend me, which way I must choose for root this unknown tablet?

In advance thank you very much, and have a day!

root for JXD P1000

I have posted about my JXD P1000s at GSM phone arena forum. Google it as I'm not allowed to post a direct link here. I rooted my JXD P100s but this might work on your JXD P1000. My post at GSM forum will direct you back here at xda developers for the rooting tool I used called Vroot version 1.6-updates to 1.7 when you install it, which successfully rooted the P1000s and enabled me to delete all installed programs I didn't need. You will need to connect JXD to computer, the rooting tool installed drivers for me in windows XP which are needed to connect the phone to the computer, look at other posts here regarding that if you need to. I kept the stock factory ROM since everything works fine with it. Note at JXD's website there are two different downloadable versions of the factory ROM for the two JXD "phablets" we are discussing here in case you need it, the P1000 and the P1000s are not the same and need different firmware if you need to re-install that. I did not need to re-install a new ROM or the original factory ROM, just rooted. I could find nothing else that rooted the JXD, this method might be only thing that works on yours also and I tried everything I could find. Good luck, the improvement on mine is definitely noticeable, if only that it gave me more usable phone memory by deleting the factory installed Chinese apps I couldn't use. Yours has more memory so this might not be an issue 512K for P1000 vs. only 256K for the P1000s is noticeable. the P1000 has built-in GPS and 3G, the P1000s only 2G and no GPS and a nicer finish IMO. The OS are supposedly the same, Jellybean Android 4.1 Hope this helps.

Hello there guys.

I tried to search around but havent found anything about this. I have a 12w23 manufactured Sony LWW and im trying to SIM unlock it, but because of his version I cannot do it through Wotan Server as they are very limited to the versions. So I heard about these Unlock Code Sites. My question is, does anyone knows any of those sites that are trustworthy? If so, can you point me out to one?

I really needed to unlock my phone as Im now using another network and buying another smartphone it's not on my toughts right now.

And by the way if it helps in something, my LWW is SIM locked to TMN Portugal.

Thanks in advance,

Deviantor.

Edit: Mod, I figured out that i might posted in the wrong section so please move as you read this, thank you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lfernandeshack:
I don´t know the prices on those sites that give the unlock code but have you tried to go to TMN to know the price, if you unlock by code from those sites I don't know nothing about warranty, but if you unlock on TMN they have too give the warranty like when it was locked because they give you a paper that says that it was a legal unlock.

" Não sei os preços nos sites de desbloqueio por código mas já foste á tmn a perguntar o preço? É que desbloqueando na TMN a garantia mantém-se pois eles são obrigados a passar-te um papel que certifica que o desbloqueio foi lega e feito por eles, mantendo-se assim a garantia a que eles estão obrigados. Nesses sites não sei se perdes a garantia ou não"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] deviantor:
Problem is that it is a second hand mobile phone that I boughtfelt and the guy gave me evertything, the mobile was even in the box, but didnt give the payment proof and i too forgot to ask for it and know i cant contact that person cause i lost his number and the web announce that he had was gone. So without the payment proof i cant do anything on TMN and so doesnt bothers me with warranty too as I dont have it already. And the price is almost the same as far as I googled. My only concern is that those sites are trustworthy or not.

remove sim lock by code

Hello Deviantor!

I had the same problem like you, no one could remove SIM lock from my WT19i. I don't really trust in online services but I had luck with a page: http://sim-unlock.net/

A month ago I paid for the universal unlock code about 35 euros by paypal and had to wait about one and a half week (12 days) then received the code with instructions. I was getting stressed a bit after one week waiting but I wanted to remove SIM lock at any ways so I kept on waiting because I wanted to unlock the bootloader.

After removing the SIM lock I instantly checked the service menu but unfortunately it is still "bootloader unlock allowed: no" :crying:

So I don't know what to do now but that is another topic...

I hope you will manage to solve the sim lock problem with them!

Greetings,

elsenhor
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] deviantor:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
In case you haven't heard there is a kickstarter for a product called Casetop. In short it is a lapdock style dock for numerous phones from Acer to ZTE. I personally have sold my Nexus One with some nice goodies to help fund this as well as offered my experience and skills with similar types of setups. Here is a vid of it in action.

[YOUTUBE]sVFrD9_5fZ8[/YOUTUBE].......[YOUTUBE]ydQBcMtfQmY[/YOUTUBE]

Think of it as a netbook with free upgrades for the life of the Casetop!​

In addition to my support, fellow xda dev zacthespack of LinuxOnAndroid fame has expressed his support of the project as well. A result of this is that I will reexamine Android/Linux hybrid setups and give my findings to the Linux-On-Android team should it become a reality. So if you ever wanted an Asus Padfone or something similar but could not afford it, this may be the way to go. Now you may think that the projected asking price is a little too high but price out an 11.1 HDMI display, BT keyboard and massive battery and the Casedock starts to look pretty inexpensive. Compared to the Padfone it a steal.

I will also examine hw level mods to improve the dock as well and give those findings to the Livi-Design team. This is not about fame or money for me but getting tech convergence into the mainstream and breathing life back into a stagnating industry.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
This is awesome. Once I replace my car in the next two weeks and get some money I so buying into this. Thanks for the info!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] andjohn:
Thanks guys!

Good news everyone! Livi Design is run by a Linux Nerd! Open sauce everything! :) The only thing I'm keeping to myself is the specific designs for the Casetop main body. EVERYTHING else will be given away :) I have already posted the Frontbar files on thingiverse, and I'll be posted the specs to interface with the main body (where the ports are when the Casetop is closed, etc)

So, basically what we need is more eyes but I think we're starting to get some more traction again...we shall see.

Thanks again!

A couple of months ago, I was getting bored of my phone so I decided to upgrade to android 2.3.3. I like it, but I felt like I should root my phone too. Heres the problem, I couldn't get unrevoked to work so I used revolutionary instead. They didn't have my hboot version so I proceeded with one of the hboot versions listed.

Everything went smoothly, my phone was now rooted, and I was able to free up more internal storage. I really wanted to flash a new rom though, so I commenced with the MIUI rom, and ended up getting stuck in a bootloop. I tried cynogen and the same thing happened. I tried a couple of other roms too, but none of them worked. I was just continuously getting stuck in a bootloop. (Yes, I cleared dalvik cache, wipe data etc..)

Has anyone else on the Desire done the same thing as I have? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spezi77:
Hard to say what goes wrong on your end. First, I would suggest you to go ahead with stock hboot from http://alpharev.nl/ and flash a newer recovery tool, e.g. this one (4EXT Touchrecovery).

Then try one of VJ's JB roms and post the results. ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3v1ng1994:
I'm sorry I have no idea what you mean by that.. can you noobify it for me? LOL
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
a2sd is a script that allows you to install apps onto your sd card (specifically an ext partition). This is very useful since the desires internal memory is pretty bad, and with a2sd you can have around 1gb of space for apps. Some roms need an ext partition to work properly/boot.

Follow this guide to make the partition.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
You should have used titanium backup for backing up your apps.

If u still have a nandroid backup of stock, you could restore it, backup apps with tb, flash the new rom, and finally restore the apps with tb.

Its quite a bit of work though...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3v1ng1994:
I have infact backed up with Titanium, but how do I go about restoring it if the application is not in the app drawer?
