[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
Yeah... security is about preventing unauthorized actions. If I'm explicitly authorizing an app to access my filesystem (hell, make it a popup message box confirmation, like for apps that use the GPS), it's because I want the app to access the goddamn filesystem.

WRT at least still has Explorer and CMD and Powershell and such... WP8 lockdown is not about "security" in the proper sense, it's about control. The average user doesn't know enough about security to make good decisions there, but Android's popularity has only increased as it has gotten easier to root the devices. Meanwhile, iPhones (which are also all about control, and it's not in the hands of the user) are in a relative decline (marketshare, not absolute numbers) and have lost nearly all their first-mover advantage in the "modern" smartphone wave. Microsoft never had that advantage (they squandered what they had with WinMo and were late to the current wave) and their control-freak-ism is directly hurting them (as a random example, VPN apps were possible on Android even before there was on official VPN API; you just needed root).
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
A lot of developers have expressed their need to use the file system. I am sure Microsoft will eventually allow it.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] allesand:
do you think that the tim e is comming sooon that Microsoft allows root Windows Explorer and so on Windows phone8 <?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
Not bloody likely. Minimal filesystem access via the WinRT APIs available for Win8, maybe. Actual proper filesystem management? no real hope at all. It would be entirely too useful.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] allesand:
comooooon if Microsoft don't do it with Explorer XDA have to do it .... i would like make a Programm at myselft butt my Problem is the knowledge it of c++ programming and so :( how can i study it at myselft ??
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
you don't really seem to get the point. Cracking WP8 is very, very hard. The system was meant to be uncrackable. everything we have right now is a certificate engine. Not really helpful.

Plus, the c++ on Wp8 is scaled down to include just directx. You can;t just walk around on OS level with it.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
It's probably not quite that bad. There are ways to break out of an API sandbox; the kernel entry points for functions like LoadLibrary are still reachable even if we can't link to them.

However, the AppContainer sandbox means that anything we manage to do will still have extremely low privileges (as it was on WP7 initially). We *might* get the ability to browse the Documents folder from an app.

[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] CSMR:
How is filesystem access on WinRT inadequate please?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
No control over permissions (except to gain, or not gain, folder access). No ability (that I know of) to do things like create symbolic or hard links. No ability to monitor a file or folder for changes. The "Metro" UI scheme is nice for touch, but something with the general-purpose user-friendliness of Windows Explorer is never going to happen with the current APIs, because the file picker / folder picker UI is controlled by the broker process and can't be customized. Share functionality may eventually reach the level of usefulness that Shell Extensions + SendTo offer right now, but I doubt it (not without improvements to the APIs). I could go on...

The short version is, WinRT is intended for siloed apps that don't need to interface with the rest of the system in any way. On either W8/WRT or WP8, I just don't envision a WinRT-based file manager ever becoming as good as things like Windows Explorer. Even on rooted WP7 devices, the best file managers available are awful at usability and features compared to something like Explorer, though that's largely due to the only imput method being touch on a small screen.

In case you're confused, WinRT != Windows RT (which I usually abbreviate WRT). WinRT is an API set for use with "Modern" or "Metro-style" applications, and is used on Win8, WRT, and WP8... but the version for WP8 lacks nearly all of the (already very limited) filesystem interaction ability that WinRT offers.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] CSMR:
OK thanks. I can see these are useful in an advanced file manager. But for a basic file manager, or more importantly for a general purpose app, any sort of access to user files would be great coming from where WP is at the moment.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
The current storage APIs for winRT looks nice enough to satisfy most apps requirements.

I suppose Microsoft didn't port the entire winRT api to windows phone 8 (partially because the WP8 kernel is not the same as the Win8 one, you can call it CENT if you want).

I also hope they eventually bump it to at least the same level winRT is right now, it would open up a lot of opportunities for apps, not necessarily related to file explorers.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] RCranium666:
What a pain in the ass. WP8 is even more closed than ios which is hard to believe.This is going to limit its success.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
Well, depends what you mean by "closed"; you can develop WP8 apps in multiple languages, the store licensing agreement contains terms explicitly to make it compatible with GPL and similar open-source apps, and its available on a much wider variety of hardware. With that said, yeah, WP8 is pretty damn locked down. I don't think I'd call it worse than iOS, but it's not exactly much better.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] rod555:
If I understand well, until at today there isn't a file manager for WP8?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
There's my WebServer app, but that can only access the public parts of the file system (damn little of it). We need either an elevation of privilege bug, an exploit in a high-privilege app, or a way to specify high-privilege capabilities for our own apps.

hi

i still haven't received the ota jb update for xperia p

is there a way or trick to force receive it?

i don't want to flash it, i have a lot of data in it...

thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
Yes you can,just edit your SI number to1261-7022 in build.prop to receive update.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dotafan:
If you have to change the build.prop you're gonna have to root. If you are rooting, you might as well use Titanium Backup and Sony's Backup and Restore app to backup data and flash a Rom cause the chances of messing up are higher if you try to manually change the build.prop. Safer method would be backup and restore...

It's your choice ofcourse :D

Press thanks if I helped :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
Root doesn't lose data,and changing SI number no risk. :)

Yeah sure! Goto cwm recovery(by tjstyles)->mounts & storage->format /system->Yes format

After /system being formatted, flash the original "cm10.1.zip" as usual.

Still no luck?? Then goto download mode & flash 2.3.6 ddkt3 via Odin & format data/cache from recovery thereafter.

I have a problem. I get this: "Error mounting /system_lib" when trying to mount it from 4ext Recovery.

Using:

Hboot 7.00.1002

Radio 3831.19.00.110

Kernel AndromadusMod CM10.1 experimental

ROM Flinny Andromadus CM10.1 build 21

Recovery 4EXT Touch v1.0.0.5 RC9

Anything I can do?

Thanks in advance.

[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Is your 4ext recovery up to date? If so, have you formatted all partitions since installing hboot 7.00.1002?
[HTC Desire S] andrei7radu:
Yeap mate, the 4EXT is the latest build and partitions were formatted after hboot upgrade ...
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Have you tried formatting just /system_lib? I think the default is not to format /system/lib when formatting /system. Maybe it never got formatted.
[HTC Desire S] andrei7radu:
I see ... then i'll just try that ... but what it'll be lost from the OS after that action? ... can do any harm to the ROM?
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Andromadus CM10.1, like most roms, ignores that partition (leaves it empty and never mounts it), so it's perfectly safe.
[HTC Desire S] andrei7radu:
I understand, mate. Then it'll be ok. Many thanks for the support. Cheers.

Has anyone noticed on their S4 that when you go onto the internet the screen brightness dims slightly? (happens on some other apps as well. I have got the brightness set to max and turned auto brightness off.

Does anyone know why this is happening?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fstorm:
This is a battery saving trick implemented by Samsung. Amoled screens eat up more juice on the white pixels and not much on the black ones. That's why the theme is dark too. There have been a few threads about this issue already, if you want more details.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] john:
hi,

i just got a new XDA 2 from o2, when i switched it on, it said "backup battery low" and shows me 25%.

Does it recharge by itself, or do i have to replace it? and how or where?

thanks.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] tyfy:
I had this on a number of XDA II I got recently for work.

The backup battery on some of them was completely flat but I put them on charge and left them and at some point the backup battery started charging.

I am not sure if the main battery needs to be 100% before the backup starts charging but they are all charged now.

thanks in advance
[HTC One X] 3lMghraby:
For the unlock animation the code isn't available in sense 4+ rosie.apk

And for the shortcut try using viperx and install icon pack sure there will be somthing similar to that
[HTC One X] yuval111:
oh its only for sense 4.0 or 4.1 ? =\

and thanks for the respond
[HTC One X] beanbean50:
if u are using viperx u can change the transition animations in the tweaks app which also changes the lockscreen animation ..

(don't forget to tick 'show animations' in the advance settings)

and as already mentioned u can change the icon pack in viperx :)

I wanted to clean up the sensation of my wife following the procedure erase from fastboot already performed perfectly on my Gnext.

I run these commands:

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

Since I reinstalled the firmware 3.33, which is the rom and restore the data. But when you start the phone always goes into fastboot and does not go forward. I'm pretty panicked and do not know what to do! Who can give me a hand?

thanks

restoring data? Does that mean you restored nandroid backup which you created before erasing everything.

i thing you wiped the ROM and you will have to install the rom again

[HTC One X] EngASM:
Hi,

I have HTC One X, I did unlock and Root the device, but since then I face a screen off problem

meaning

whenever I want to turn the screen on using the power button it takes up to 3 or 10 presses to be on and allow me to use my device, sometimes it didn't respond at all, that I have to turn my device off entirely by long press the power button,

this thing happens after 2 to 5 hours of me installing any room, and some times it didn't happen for half hour or hour, but then it happens again,

I tried everything

from backing to Stock ROM to flashing over 10 different ROMS they all work fine but the screen off problem remains,

now I'm sure it's not a hardware issue since it wasn't there before unlocking my device, I tried relocking the device and flashing a stock ROM but it didn't work.

Some searching results says that it's a booting up problem that the graphic card have a wrong boot info, but if so how can I solve that ?!

my CID is 044 If anyone knows of have a hboot file or boot.img file or anything that can help me solving this problem I would be very grateful

waiting >>>
[HTC One X] athulele:
Maybe a problem with the power button?
[HTC One X] EngASM:
It wasn't there before unlocking the device, it happens after that particular action

+ that the power button works fine and the screen three lower main touch buttons light up while the screen it self stay off !
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Such problems are extremely hard to pin point... May be a hardware issue... Since you have have tried different roms!

Go back to stock and try sending it for warranty...
[HTC One X] EngASM:
the problem is when I go back to stock the hboot says relocked, how can I make it Locked !?!

another problem is that my device warranty over
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
You can't get back to ***Locked***...

Hmmm... if it's a hardware issue then, you will have to shell out if you want to fix this....
[HTC One X] EngASM:
Well, I'm leaving the Hardware Issue thing to the bottom of my list, as I said before the problem exists only after I unlocked my device, so I think that something went wrong during that process maybe boot.img file or Hboot file error that makes the graphics out of order in such a way that it didn't boot correctly,,

do you know how can I get hboot file for my device !? or at least how can I upgrade it or downgrade it to a different number !?
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Unlocking the device can't cause power buttons problem... That's for sure!

You can't downgrade your hboot/base if you have a S-ON device.. you can only upgrade it...

what is your base? run the following command in fastboot and post the result here:

fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC One X] EngASM:
version-main: 3.14.707.24

finished. total time: 0.006s
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Your on the latest firmware available for your device... You can try flashing the same firmware over but I don't think it's gonna be of any help for correcting the Power Button problem...

Download: http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=3.14.707.24.zip
[HTC One X] EngASM:
ok

so you say that it's a hardware issue for sure and there is no connection between unlocking the device and it's occurring ?!
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Yeah! 'Unlocking bootloader' just allows you to flash custom recovery by which you can flash custom roms!

However, just to make sure, try locking the bootloader again and then try using the power button and see if it registers the click everytime?!
[HTC One X] EngASM:
Where can I get a Stock ROM compatible with my Device
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Lock your bootloader and then run this RUU : http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...24-radio-5120416229-release-296434-signedexe/

Run with admin privileges.
[HTC One X] EngASM:
I'll try that and then back to you
[HTC One X] EngASM:
same problem

I Noticed that the power button works correctly in the first couple hours, then after that or in another word after 2 to 3 hours it start miss-responding to presses !!
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
What to say m8!! You have tried different roms, kernels, locked bootloader, Hell even went full stock with RUU...

If still the problem persists, it must surely be a hardware issue! :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] EngASM:
Well Now I'm trying my last shot, Install CWM10.1 and enable the volume Roker keys to wake the screen up, it works till now, needs 24 hour to be sure,

but this ROM is really a power hungry ROM

do you know anyway I can minimize battery lose when I use this ROM !?!
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Yes, flash XM kernel (repack) and then install trickster mod and do the following settings:

Governor : Smartmax/PMC

IO Scheduler: row/noop

CPU cap: 1.2 GHz

When you want to play games, just change governor to interactive and scheduler to row... 1.2 Ghz is more than enough to run games... If you want you can get back to 1.5 Ghz...

All this might sound a long procedure, but it's just a few clicks! and you can set this on boot, so once configured, you can forget about it! :)
[HTC One X] EngASM:
I didn't understand a word !@! Literally !
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
First you need to repack the kernel if your using CM10.1...

So download XM kernel (AOSP) and then open the zip file and extract the boot.img file. Also open CM10.1ROM.zip file and extract the boot.img

Now Go to http://nibble.cc/repack/ and then in "Source Kernel Image:" select your CM10.1 boot.img and in "New Kernel Image:" select XM kernel's boot.img and click on "Upload and Repack" Once everything is done you will get the download link of the repacked boot.img

Now put that boot.img in the fastboot folder and transfer XMkernel.zip to your phone...

Now boot into fastboot mode and flash the boot.img which you had just download(repacked). then fastboot erase cache

Now go to recovery and wipe cache/dalvic.... then "install zip from sd" and flash the XMKernel.zip file which you had transferred to your phone earlier and then REBOOT!

Now in your "about phone: option you will see XM kernel!

Open playstore and install this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod

and now check upper post for settings! :D
[HTC One X] EngASM:
So after doing that I'll still have my CWM10 ROM Right ?!

+ All of this just to minimize the power consuming of CWM10 !!!

WHERE can I DOWNLOAD XM kernel (AOSP) for my htc one x ?!
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Yes m8! Kernel and rom are different...

Go to original android development section... You will find it on the first page itself...

I'm from mobile app so not able to provide the link...

Go to that thread and download the latest 305 AOSP...
[HTC One X] EngASM:
I Went to the Maintenance shop, they couldn't figure out the problem

they told me that it is not hardware related problem, so I want to know if there is another way to unlock my phone !! or can I downgrade my hboot from 1.36 ?!?!
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Unlock your phone?? U mean bootloader unlock? Go to htcdev.com

Nope, you can't downgrade on a S-ON Device!

If they said it's not a hardware problem, you should've factory reset it in front of them and then told to check it?!!
[HTC One X] EngASM:
well I tried htcdev.com

the problem is that when I use ADB commands it keeps showing me No devices found but it shows the taken code that I must copy and paste in the site to create the bin file, so I don't really know what to do.

I did factory reset the problem is that it works fine for a small amount of time then it start working with the screen off !

I'm really exhausted from such problem

I did a search recently they told me that they had the same problem but everything works fine when they used CM9 ROM !!

is this link contains anything related to my problem ?!
