Still waiting ...

I still don't understand why I get this msg => invalid resource directory name:

It looks pretty much valid to me!!!

I mean what's wrong with largeui?! if I make it to large I can compile it but it won't work unless I make it correct!!

whats this??

W: Could not find sources
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sijav:
No It contains only one file with 45 KB!

It's aapt problem but I'm not sure how can I fix this!

EDIT:

sorry didn't saw this post:

It means this apk haven't been compiled before!

So It will do every compiling!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sijav:
nobody has no Idea?

common guys if I compile this and get it to work it can be your very first and stable MIUI V5 :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
I cant guarantee this will work but I remember a friend using this method and it worked for him. Just remove the offending files from the directory and compile the apk. You might get a few other errors which you can fix via the xml files. After that, just add the removed files normally to the apk by opening it as a zip package. (Make sure that the folder structure is intact). Im not sure where I saw it but it was working (I think it was in SemcPhone.apk)

Try your luck and hope it helps!

Cheers

Edit : In case you're good with source, you could try using Xiaomi's custom aapt here : https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_tools
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sijav:
That was the simplest and the best solution I ever saw :D

HUGE THNX

and I'm using patchrom so yes I'm using the patchrom-tools aapt but it still have problems,

Again dude THNX!

EDIT: Won't work because we have values problem too! they can't be put in it!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
As much as I appreciate the huge praise, Dont thank me till you're sure it works :D It worked for Sony's f/w which is only slightly modified. But MIUI roms use another framework very different from AOSP so you might not get the same results :p

Best of luck anyways ;)

Edit : What values problem ? Are you having trouble compiling after decompiling once and modifying ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sijav:
well at least thnx for replaying :D

we have two values :

invalid resource directory name: /home/sijav/Desktop/patchrom/nypone/out/framework-miui-res/res/values-largeui-xhdpi

invalid resource directory name: /home/sijav/Desktop/patchrom/nypone/out/framework-miui-res/res/values-largeui-hdpi

which will compile into resources.arsc and can't be put directly into zip!

The patchrom decompiles framework-miui-res.apk and put many files into it and then want to recompile it but it can't do it because of the above problems ...

Why just MIUI won't accept the standards? :( they always have to make exceptions!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Thats exactly the problem I had. SemcPhone had a few language folders in values dir which I couldnt get to compile with aapt. I spent ages trying to get it to work but it failed. But I saw someone else managed it with the way I just mentioned. I dont think its explicitly mentioned that the files in resources.arsc have to be present as a resource instead of unencoded source :p just do what i said and let me know how it goes :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sijav:
will do:

Alright NEXT STUPID PROBLEM!

Is that the line that causes issue ? The issue is that the register in qn. should be in 4 bits. ie Registers 0-15 are valid. p0 is Register 17 or something. Try replacing with v3,v4 or any other vx register not in use and make changes wherever necessary :) That ought to work.

I dont know Smali much so I cant explain it well. Just try it out and if you have doubts, you ought to wait for someone who knows Smali properly :)

I work in a building with pretty weak signal reception and the only way to keep a decent signal is to force the phone to use the 850MHz band.

On stock Touchwiz, dialing *#2263# allowed me to do so.

Is there an equivalent for AOSP roms?

Been searching the forum and found 2 options, none of which seem to allow specific band selection :

*#*#4636#*#* - Test mode : allows to set connection type (ie. WCDMA, LTE, etc...), but not frequency

*#*#197328640#*#* - Service mode : empty screen. Nothing shown at all except for title "Service mode"

Any other options left ?

Hi all, this may be a stupid question, but being as the att S4 has the locked bootloader, is it possible to flash the att S4 with tmobile software/firmware via odin and then unlock the phone to be used on any carrier? Or can this not be done because of the boot loader? Thanks in advance!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mathieulh:
When using a rom from another Galaxy S4 Variant, you cannot flash 1. The modem/radio/baseband 2. The bootloader (PRL, SRL, ABOOT...)

Also if your device's bootloader is locked, it's likely that you cannot swap the Kernel either.

According to some people however, the Modem can however be swapped IF you are using the same base model (example SGH-I1337 modem can in theory be swapped with its SGH-I337M variant). I however have not tested this myself so you will have to make sure of it before trying.

Keep in mind that on Qualcomm revisions, the baseband is actually the very first link to the chain of trust so messing with it can potentially brick your phone.

My problem appear like this:

Connect a usb device or a sd-card with one of the original Samsung OTG-adaptors.

USB-Connector was found and if I plug in a USB-Stick, it was mounted but immediately I get a message that it was unexpected disconnected.

And then it was found again and again unexpected disconnected and so on and so on.

I hoped that this would be fixed with Android Revolution HD 7.0, but the error still appears.

Any idea how I can bring that to work??

We can't tell you our settings, cause it's a secret!

No... it purely depends on the conditions. We can tell you that for example superior mode is the best, wouldn't it be that you want to take a night shot, then Normal mode HDR would be better.

I'd say play with the settings and you decide.

I use normal mode HDR: off most of the times.
