[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sumitk:
I have been reading the forums here to try to get a handle on how to unlock my SX56 in preparation for a visit to India. Device Info :

ROM Version : A.21.02 ENG

ROM date: 10/17/03

Radio Version : A.20.10

Protocol version : 324e4

Carrier : AT&T (the b******s)

I tried the XDAUnlock and got the "error getting unlock code". I see that all instructions without the serial cable thing involve basically installing a new ROM.

I had once before tried to upgrade my SX56, when AT&T came out with its WM2003 upgrade, and while the upgrade went ok (after a few tries), after that upgrade the performance of the phone part of my SX56 became so bad (would NEVER get a signal) that I had to send it back to them. That time, I was still under warranty and they restored it to original (PPC 2002) ROM. That, plus the fact that I hardly saw anything worth the jump in WM2003, means that I am EXTREMELY WARY of doing a ROM upgrade. I want the phone to work! I know most everybody on this forum has had it easy with ROM manipulations, but I would like to avoid it if at all possible.

My questions are (excuse the newbieness):

1) My understanding is that, when they work, XDAUnlock and XDAManipulator work basically as executables. You install them, you run them, they do their thing. The ROM and the radio stack stays the same, except for the unlocked part. Is that correct? If yes, this is definitely what I would like to try, in preference to installing the Special Edition ROM, even if you tell me I can go back to installing my original ROM.

2) XDAManipulator works over the serial cable. Does this mean a cable equivalent to the cable I use for syncing, (SX56 connectors on one side), except that on the other side it connects to serial port, rather than to a USB port? That would mean a cable customized for SX56, which I won't be able to buy in a Radio Shack. I don't have the time to buy and have them shipped, and they're darned expensive anyway. Will a generic USB-to-serial adapter applied to my USB cable work in this case? Given that XDAUnlock isn't working, and given (1), I would like to try XDAManipulator.

3) Reassure me on restoring old ROMs and Radio Stacks (in particular). How difficult is it?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Sumit.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cruisin-thru:
You can backup your existing rom from the bootloader to sd card. You can then install the special edition rom. Once unlocked, place the sd card in the phone, push reset while holding powerr, you will be asked would you like to procedd with programming rom, push centre of 4 way rocker anyour old rom will be restored. Manipulator runs from the pc desktop, I have no idea if it will work using a usb/serial adaptor. It also only works with certain radio stacks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sumitk:
That means the PPC AND the Radio stack is restored, right?

Anybody know if A.20.10 is one of them?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sumitk:
I would like to understand the Special Edition ROM better. Does it include the PPC OS as well as the Radio Stack? Or does it leave the Radio Stack untouched, except it allows access to it that was earlier locked away?

If former, aren't Radio Stacks supposed to be carrier specific?

Don't let the waywardness of my doubts keep you from answering my original question.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cruisin-thru:
The special edition rom does not affect the radio stack except to unlock it, you need backup only rom.

Hello ,

I Know how to Get the Current Foreground App Package Name , but what i am Looking for is to Get the "Windows Title"(the one who Can Change between Multiple Activity in the Same App) , it Is Possible & Without Root ? Look Picture ,

(Picture from Google Images)

Thanks .
[Java for Android App Development] bassie1995:
Why get the title? Don't you want to set it?

Edit: If I understand correctly, you want this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActionBar.html#getTitle().
[Java for Android App Development] celb:
No , i does not Want to Set it , i want to get Title of the Foreground App(Not My App) , i just want to Log the Foreground Title App/Screen , thats why i am Asking , i does not want the Title of my App but i want to have a Background Service and get Title of the Foreground App & look like the Method "getTitle()" is not Possible with External App ...
[Java for Android App Development] bassie1995:
Ah, I see. I Googled a bit, maybe this could help? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8131909/how-to-find-the-current-foreground-activity-in-android
[Java for Android App Development] celb:
Thanks for your Search , i have taken a Look , but i Think what i am Looking For is Impossible Unless its my Own App ...
[Java for Android App Development] bassie1995:
Could be, I thought that too... It's probably a security feature.
[Java for Android App Development] celb:
Yes , Screen Capture too , without Root
[Windows 8 General] mistamikel:
Just wondering if its possible and how much of a pain in the ass would it be to change the 64gb ssd out for something larger??

Has any one tried it? Ive tried searching but came up with nothing.
[Windows 8 General] DynamicRam:
Its not SSD its an EMMC so practically it can't be replaced

Clover Trail doesn't support SSD
[Windows 8 General] mistamikel:
Ahhhh poop. Thanks for the heads up. Micro sd card it is then :rolleyes:
[Windows 8 General] skpManiac:
Crap, I was just going to buy one of these too under the premise it was an SSD as it states in the title :/

I thought I would see how easy/hard the upgrade would be.

Back to the drawing board now

Thanks for the info

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but is there any way to port these two features from the Xperia P? Also, why haven't these two features been included in the Jellybean (6.2.B.0.211) update?

i think it could be. But wait an answer from an Dev :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougsdir:
This is a weird one that just started happening in the past few days

I updated my phone to 4.1.2 about 6 weeks ago (UK T-Mobile Galaxy Note )

Once it finished i did a hard reset.

But for the last week or so ive noticed that when my phone is in my pocket i occasionally hear that "two-tone" sound that the phone makes when you plug in an AC Adapter.

If I pull my phone out too look at it, it is sitting at the Lock Screen.

Its not like the power icon is flashing as if it thinks its charging or anything.

I cant make it happen again when the phone is in my hand, it only happens when in my jeans pocket.

Any ideas?

update:

its started doing it when lying on the table now

When the phone is off, the lock screen comes on and in the middle of the lock screen it flashes up the message Charging 100% , then goes away.

its doing this about once a minute
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
Question......When you DO connect the usb port to charge, wiggle it around and see if the charge sound comes and

goes. If it does, it most likely indicates a dirty or damaged USB port. If you take it apart and flex the board, you'll see

the pin connections on the rear of the socket, will connect/disconnect. Mind did similar, and I replaced the port...twice...

(because I got the wrong country version the 1st time). Start to finish, takes about 15 minutes to replace, even with

my poor eyesight. ;)

And it is about 30 min if u a noobie in electric... :good: :highfive:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
Yeah, about that much...pretty easy fix. Little tip. I'm in my 50's, so it's bifocals or nothing...

If the screws are hard to see, disassemble in a plate, box, or flip a frisbee upside down and disassemble

in that, so the screws don't get lost. They are micro tiny (at least for my eyes :cool: )

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warnahly:
hey guy im on asylum 12th june build with NX 1.3.4 kernel ,, and ive been facing a full phone freeze and the only solution is to take out the battery ,, it happened to me twice and now three times what should i do

i tried wiping cache and dalvik from CWM but noting ,, how can i fix this without wiping data please

thanks in advanced
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
When the freeze occurs, does the phone stay that way or undergoes a soft reboot soon after? I'm using Asylum too on the stock kernel without a problem. Try a cache wipe, re-flash the ROM and install no apps and see if you face the same problem, there can be a malicious app causing it. Or else, the NX kernel is culpable.

Which ROMs is it working on ?

JB 4.1 or 4.2 ?

And for kernels , you must provide the source code too.

Also what are the GPU optimizations used ?

Playing games is a bit below average , I tested subway surf, asphalt 7 1.0.5 , real racing 3 , shadowgun , Beach Buggy blitz . All share the same story : 1 quarter of the game they are perfect , 1 quarter normal , and 2 half lag very bad and unplayable . And I have a weird bug : When I try to enter solid explorer it tryes to enter (Loading...) then it exits , ES file explorer works good .

All was done using the untouched Interactive and ROW . No overclock and no volts changed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aways:
this is first version of kernel and on topic : test,

you need to wait till next version for good performance just give a good feedback to fix issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] McXeno:
That's what I'm trying to do : give feedback . Everything is behaving good only the games not work too good . What else cand I say if this is what I get ? No bugs found, no reboots and stable , I will try some OC and test stability .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DerRomtester:
With high OC it is a normal behavior

Thanks guys and yeh Alberto sorry your code seemed pretty awesome and this kernel was technically just going to be a build with everything I wanted in it, so yeh great job your kernel is awesome hopefully mine will be too :)

Good luck with your hsc! Now I change betwen devil kernel and latrop kernel , to see which works on devil and doesn't on latrop and I will report .

Great work Latrop - do you recommend NSTools or Semaphore Manager to manage this ROM? Looks like lots of ROMS are picking up on this kernel - starting to see it being offered - this could be big ..
