Afternoon guys,

Dont ask me how, but my sister has well and truly buggered her sim card reader on her xperia z, i suspect she inserted her sim the wrong way round,

She sent it off and rightly so Sony sent it back saying they wont repair it due to user error

Now i have found a replacement sim card reader, and looked at a teardown guide,

was just wondering however if anyone had attempted it, from the tear down guide it looks like the sim reader is attached to the logic board so a replacement reader wouldnt exactly help, but i cant be sure till i open it up

Anyone with any advise would be greatly received

Regards

xperia z sim card reader repair if damaged by nano sim

Xperia Z sim reader can be damaged by either using a nano sim adapter or placing sim incorrectly. Sony will not cover this error under warranty and yes the sim card reader is soldered onto the board like all other components. You will need the old damaged sim card reader soldered off from the motherboard and a new sim reader soldered onto the board this will definitely fix your issue i have fixed a few in the past with this same fault

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivbx:
Same

SONY did screw this model up, don't worry, is not your daughter fault, I damaged mine without sim adapter and always the sim was inserted facing backside of the phone, like in instructions, one pin was torn upside down. So thanks SONY for this ****ty sim card reader .

Back to your problem, I sugest take your phone to a professional technician for soldering the reader since others components wich are nearby could be damaged. Also, special tools like hot air soldering iron are necessary. Take care.

Hey just found out I have the same problem with my xpetia z today was just wondering if you could tell me where you got the replacement sim card reader?!

Many thanks

Hi everyone! I'm not a fan of Sense (3.6, i mean), but i really like the Sense 5. So i ask: is it possible to port a Sense 5 ROM to Evo 3D GSM?

Thanks in advance :D
[HTC EVO 3D] jekyll86:
At moment is not possible

Inviato dal mio Evo 3D GSM
[HTC EVO 3D] NightMare870:
it would be nice though, i probably would of kept my 3d as my primary if so but developement kind of halted in my opinion
[HTC EVO 3D] Snoob25:
i tried a fast port but can't get it boot, i get some audio errors :(

i also tried to port some files and libs to viper3D rom, sense 3.6 camera starts, but photo/video resolutions are kinda wrong (max res for video recording is 640*480 :eek: ), and the 3D switch just focus! when i'll have time i'll try again!

by the way, any cdma user already flashed it?? :)

I am making a port, now I have a first version, but it isn't working. It will take a lot of time. Anyway you must ask for permission to change their rom so.. It all ends here :)

[HTC EVO 3D] Qron:
We've already figured that out.

I have one suggestion. Because of Cool Mods, and the fact coolexe is one of the most active Evo developers, we might want him to support this initiative.
[HTC EVO 3D] slinkyregent:
if anyone want to port sense 5 on evo 3d gsm, please wait the release of android 4.2.2 on htc one... Because with that we have the new sense and the latest android in one rom!
[HTC EVO 3D] Qron:
The title of this thread is misleading. For now we are talking about a mix of 4.1 with some app and probably customized libs from 3.6.

Porting Sense 5 based on JB seems to be a whole different story.
[HTC EVO 3D] invince2:
I tried everything....flashing new kernels and boot.img etc but still no result...

I really really hope the gsm ported versions is allowed to link !!

[HTC EVO 3D] orangekid:
Thread cleaned so much I think I got rid of 99.99% of all germs!

Let's break this down.

I know you all want a port or something like it, but you cannot use someone's code without their permission, that comes out of our oldest rules. You also cannot link to ROMs that use someone's code without their permission (kind of like giving away stolen property).

So I am asking you all to please stop linking that ROM from the Chinese forum and not discuss how to use Team Venom stuff without getting Team Venom's permission.

If you want something from Team Venom, you have to go through Team Venom to get it.

Otherwise you have to do it from scratch.

Thanks for understanding :)
[HTC EVO 3D] gmzombie:
I just wish I.figured out how to get the 3d working like the guy that posted it on YouTube..I've tried it all every option and whatnot and still no go. I dunno I'm still waiting for the other Japan Rom from the isw13ht to be either ported or whatever due to it being sense 4 with WiMAX.
[HTC EVO 3D] Paran[dr]oid:
Still no news here ?

[HTC EVO 3D] beneath-a-burning-turtle:
I'm gonna try and answer everything at once.

Sense 5 Port: it ain't happening. Until the CDMA section gets their Sense 4+ build (JB 4.2.2) booting we won't see any other Sense+JB ROMs. The reason this isn't happening is the memory allocation method in the kernel. Pre-JB used "pmem" allocation, and JB uses "ION". ION is a requirement for android 4.2 and up and will not boot without the correct memory allocation method. Now you're probably asking, "well why don't they just fix it?" Well its because that's not as easy as you think. It requires writing the source up from the ground using proprietary HTC drivers that we don't have, and probably won't ever get, so its going to be a lot more difficult to do ourselves. There are tons of amazing devs who can eventually crack it, but we'll have to wait.

As for Sense 4 and up having working 4G and 3D and all that, 4G almost happened. Cmbaughman and myself came really close to it working but then my 3D broke and I moved on. Its doable, we just need someone to take a a day or two to crack it. The issue with 3D is something else. Even if we have something that has working 3D, it won't help us much to utilize it on other ROMs without knowing what the person did, so that will also have to wait, and we need the right permissions as well. So everything here is a matter of "we just don't have the ability to do this". Hope I cleared a little bit of this up
[HTC EVO 3D] Paran[dr]oid:
Thanks for explaining. Some guys are waiting and hope for that :thumbup:

3d camera + sense 4.1 would be great but sense 4.1 and wimax would be just better and there is a stock sense 4.1 rom with wimax for a phone called the htc j valente. specs are damn near identical except with a msm8660a processor which is a 1.5 dual core and a 8mp camera. a kernel guy would be needed to get this going right. there is already a kernel source for that phone on htcdev.com
[HTC EVO 3D] russel82:
And I would like to know too! Please.
[HTC EVO 3D] orlox:
for a moment i thought that we where using open source software where thousands have contribute to it to become better. I also though open source software were thousands have contribute wasnt anyone property so there is nothing to get stolen.

On the other hand I may be wrong and everyone here has contacted linus torvalds and asked his permission to use his open sourced code.

Can somebody tell me how to port the sense 4.1 rom +3d to gsm
[HTC EVO 3D] VIRGIN KLM:
We need to make a petition with it. I mean HTC (and other manufacturers) may not release anymore updates for a specific device anymore, and I'm kinda OK with it, but atleast DO release the drivers so we can use/develop on the d@mn device properly like every other company does... This is as serious as Broadcom not releasing EGL Drivers for some devices for a looooong time, it's on the borders of a crime against consumers if you ask me.

So who's gonna be a dear an start the petition?
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
I would start it but need some info on it. Where to start, what to do... I'll ask mods later today and see what can be done
[HTC EVO 3D] VIRGIN KLM:
It was about time to be done, seriously I'm not sure how legal or ethical is them not releasing it, they are playing with some serious borders here.
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Well it's legal because camera drivers are closed source. I don't like to talk about ethics because business and ethics are often in great conflict. If we get the petition going it's entirely up to the people in HTC. They have no legal obligation to release the source but maybe if they see how many people are asking for it they just might release it.

Sent from Mwakious powered EVO 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] VIRGIN KLM:
The kernel source (which is part of the GPL licence) SHOULD include the camera source too (in order to comply completely with the terms and not violate them cleverly). They just try to get away with it, which is not going to affect anybody else than their reputation to their current costumers and people that think to obtain one of their new products so they effectively hurt nobody but themselfs. In these tough twilight days of HTC, instead of doing something nice they become worse and worse, not a great idea if they really want to survive the competition out there.

I agree with you completely. Now we just need to explain that to them :)

Major thread cleanup again.

Apologies to any collateral posts that were accidentally deleted.

Guys I know you want Sense 3D to work, and I want to see it too, but if someone steals work from someone else, then hosts it on a Chinese forum, then when we compare the Chinese ROM with original work here and can prove it is a kang, then we cannot link the Chinese ROM or talk about it here.

We have to go thru proper channels. You guys need to PM Team Venom, that is the only way to use their work.

Whether they share or not is up to them, maybe some arrangement can be made, or maybe they will advise as to porting without kanging, but original work has to be protected.

You can also contact HTC for closed source driver info.

Please abide by this request, I am not coming in here with fury and wrath, I don't want to close this thread or start infracting people because I KNOW you just want a working ROM, but talking about any kanged ROMs here is not going to fly for the reasons already mentioned.

Thanks for understanding.
[HTC EVO 3D] 007gamer:
I have sent a PM to one dev of the Viper Rom.

If i get the permissions i will remove some Viper Apps and other things.

Edit : Still waiting for the answer.. :(

Even if Viper gave you a permission you still cannot PORT it and release it here You must obtain a permission from the Chinese Dev. I asked him for a permission and I'm still waiting for an answer.

How about check out the thread about the sense 4+?
[HTC EVO 3D] 007gamer:
I dont need the chinese app Permission.

I took the stock htc camera app and compared it with the chinese camera app and did similar changes.I am trying to get 3D working on my own.I got Permissions for taking some codes from the CoolCamMod and now i got 2D working.The back camera has a low video resolution,but the rest works fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] howpathetic:
No you need permission for this. You are just stealing/copying work (The work I mean Idogx's Modded camera3D.apk etc..) from the chinese dev.... Also the fix isn't only on camera 3Dapp I guess so. If you were fixing this without the chinese camera3D.apk fix pattern then you would be making it on your own. Now you are just copying work from him. Show some respect for other work...
[HTC EVO 3D] 007gamer:
You didnt unterstand me,i didnt steal his work,i did a similar.If i did steal his work my camera apk should work fine,but only 2D works.Most of the files are from coolexes cameramod.
[HTC EVO 3D] howpathetic:
No you did not understand me. You typed that you look at his version and then you are making your own version on your own. How can this be your own version when you are following pattern. Like "Aha he made it that way, so i change something and now it is my work" No matter from where the base files came. You just must ask for permission.
[HTC EVO 3D] 007gamer:
I did ask him three days ago.
[HTC EVO 3D] warrenb213:
As a recognized developer....

The best way to get around these permissions issues would be to do ones own sense 4.x port based on a stock rom, then port the neccessary modifications to get 3d video and games working. From that point compare the Chinese based Rom to viper, that will tell you the mods needed for 3d camera. Since the Chinese dev is not an xda member nor following the procedures of the rest of the community, that means you could port his specific camera changes (don't kang, figure it out line by line) without fear of repercussions.

This is how I can see yall doing this without explicit permissions of the parties this all is currently involving.

I have, for a long time, believed the way in which xda draws the line between stolen work and not has been inefficient, at best. My point is that, for instance with cyanogen, that everyone down the chain technically breaks the kang rule, even when building from source- which leaves mods and users to pick and choose what is ok and what is not. Technically speaking, cyanogen could have nailed Americanandroid with what we produced and any cm 9 or 10 EVO3d rom after ours could have been nailed as we had resolved a number of the issues before we went quiet and others picked up where we left off. There has to be a better way.

Don't get me wrong, if someone uses another's as a base and simple themes it or adds a few apps or a small mod, that is for sure a bad move and not good for anyone. However, if someone takes steps in terms of actual innovation, it'd be cool to get perms from the last dev, even better if all the devs work together, but in the end innovation is innovation, it is better to have than not to have.

Just 2 cents from a dev that's dealt with users doing real kanging without innovation but has also seen his own innovations taken to the next level.
[HTC EVO 3D] slinkyregent:
But before thinking to 3d, release a stable sense 5 rom for CDMA and GSM!

definitely working. 3d and 2d capture working. gallery doesnt show 3d images until shared to 3d gallery plugin. videos play in 3d.

now all we can hope for is that this issue with kanging gets settled. might even be possible to get some sort of hack working on aosp roms.

maybe someone should invite the chinese dev over to xda and he could work with other devs here to port his own sense 4.1 rom with camera fix

For the sense 5 rom:

ro.build.sense.version=3.6

ro.build.version.release=4.0.3

so, no sense 5. and updater scripts says shooteru.

and for the galaxy rom:

ro.build.display.id=slim_shooteru-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E eng.Johnnyslt.20130705.221349 test-keys

ro.build.version.incremental=eng.Johnnyslt.20130705.221349

I think virus doesn't give us the permissions. Never heard of any unofficial* virus rom. I think it's a better idea to create a new rom from scratch and just implement the changes which made the 3D work. There's no point waiting for their permission.
[HTC EVO 3D] invince2:
Virus has moved to htc one..
[HTC EVO 3D] $tefanDroid:
I'm sorry guys you'll never get permissions from team venom.

From their official site:

1) Our work can only be used in official and supported team venom viper roms. If it isn’t an official viper rom, than it cannot contain anything venom related. This even goes for our team members on their other rom projects. For example torxx cannot use venom files or mods in his trickdroid series of roms, or nitsuj17 cannot use them in his ukb roms.

Going forward, do not bother asking anyone on team venom if you can use xyz or whatever from a viper rom for your mod or project. The answer is a universal NO. Do not pm our members, post in our threads, or otherwise asking to do so.

[HTC EVO 3D] Kiinasu:
but what, if they decide to stop support one of their old roms like the evo 3d rom? it is official, but no longer supported. so the work cant be used in this rom?

the other question is, can't just virus include the fix in his rom? i mean, it wouldn't be that much work, even if he moved away from the evo.

[HTC EVO 3D] VIRGIN KLM:

Oh dear, this thing with not being allowed to do something in Android userspace is not going anywhere, nobody will respect it despite any warnings or rules or bans or anything and there's just nothing you can do about it.

What about not wasting your time into that and try somethng else? Just don't invest in people that try to secure their work more than it deserves to? Still the petition is the best way to go.
