WOW!!!

These new themes are outstanding, very professional looking. For a few seconds I thought you may have forgotten the settings menu, :D then I saw the settings icon in the upper right corner, what a great touch.

I would love to see TeamWin use this as their standard ui, instead of the existing rather ugly one. Great job on this and thank you for sharing it.

N7/TWRP 2.6/Theme trouble

Renamed zip to ui.zip (no caps). Pasted it into the TWRP theme folder. (no caps in theme).

Reboot to recovery and the blue/black team win splash screen comes up. It "blinks" out

And goes back to the splash screen. Blinks out to black briefly and shows the splash screen

Again. Keeps doing this, but will never actually go into recovery. I reboot and delete the zip

And it will go into recovery. No matter which one of the theme zips I try it will not load. Any help

Would be appreciated.

Check the zips size. It should be above 1MB. I had same symptoms because of bad download with ES Explorer downloader

You were right. I used es downloader on all 3 themes. 26.79kb on all of them.

This time i used the browser to download the files. Size was correct and TWRP

Is now themed. Thank you for the help. Thanks for not telling me "Google is your

Friend" and instead gave me the answer to my problem. Very much appreciated.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Linuxslate:
I'm considering purchasing a A700.

I've used CyanogenMod on other devices before, and having it available is a big plus for this tablet, even though My understanding is that there is a factory 4.1 that is also pretty good.

I have read the sticky's and done some searches, but I still have somethings I would like specific answers on:

Is USB storage mode supported? I am asking about when the tablet is connected to a PC, Not USB OTG. If so, is the internal 32G and the SD card available? Please answer for Factory ROMs and for CM 10.1.

Does the CM 10.1 DSP Equalizer work? I have read that messing with the EQ settings does not change the sound.

Is there anything in CM 10.1 that does

not

work that I should know about? GPS? (Including decent time-to-fix), both cameras? are both mics (noise cancellation) supported? Bluetooth (for everything - Keyboards, Stereo sound, File transfers)?

There are some pretty good prices on the A700, but it is very late in the A700's life cycle, and there are much newer devices available cheaper. EX: The Nexus 7 (2013) has the same resolution, twice the RAM, more clock speed, and weighs 1/3 as much. (I know it has no SD slot, no HDMI, and it's 7 inches instead of 10).

Is it still worth buying an A700?

Thanks for any comments/suggestions.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Darn Mate. You ask a lot of questions for one whom doesn't own the tab ;)

For CM10.1 questions, you should review pawitp's CM thread. Personally I prefer stock. Less issues when modifying things, and better compatibility across the board.

USB storage supported (nobody would get one if it didn't work).

I have 0 issues when connecting to PC. I get both storage. (although you will not get access to /system, unless using ADB). This is a root/rw issue.

As with audio, can't tell you about DSP, as I don't use it. I use Android4Viper. Might as well go for the best. It replaces the stock/CM.

If you buy a new tab, regardless of brand, and just want immediately to goto CM, well, you take your chances. CM is CM. You can have 10 roms built from CM, but the source is pretty much all the same. CM.

I like the 701. Has most of the same specs as others. To say it's at the end of it's life cycle is pretty off. I don't see any quad 8 processors. Maybe a little more RAM, but hey, we ain't recalculating 1gb spreadsheets here.

(comparing 7" to 10", well, do the math)

The 70x is just now getting good dev. I hear rumor another dev from the 50x forums will be joining.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] herogjan:
It's no suprise that a 7" wheighs less then 10"

Personally no sd slot is no go for me.

I really really like the screen of the A700. It's so much better then the Tab2 from my son.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Agree. A device without an SD slot, chills my bones. A big turn off. Also, android can sometimes have issues transferring huge chunks of data, like 20 videos at once, so it's an advantage to copy it using the PCs sd card reader.

Acer made a couple improvements over the 50x. The 70x can use USB charging (although really slow, and you don't want to be using tablet). They removed the USB Port, but supply a USB dongle. Speakers are a touch better. And, they gave us unlocked bootloader :good:. So it makes rooting a breeze.

People complained about a processor overheat, but all the high performance tabs do that. Price we pay for the great display. I've never had issues though.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Linuxslate:
Well Guys, Thanks, but I went with the New Nexus 7.

A 20% off coupon for the Nexus 7 was the tie breaker for me. -- $90 dollars less than the best deal I could find on an A700.

The 1G RAM on the A700 also worked in favor of the Nexus 7. I think, unfortunately, than Android is getting more RAM hungry, The race to add features vs. optimization/cleanup. Otherwise the Tegra 3 wins easily.

Another big factor was standard USB charging. What I read here indicated that the A700 did slow charge over USB, but from what I know about other devices, slow charging does not even keep up with use.

I also decided that I would carry a 7" tablet places I would not carry a 10" tablet. If I am going to carry around a 10" tablet, I may as well carry around my Ultra Book.

I can also put the N7 in the back pocket of "normal" pants. Obviously, I cannot really carry it that way, because If I sit down, I *will* be buying an A700, but If I need my hands free, I can put it there temporarily. I am not of the proportions necessary to wear pants that have pockets big enough for an A700 ;)

Yes, no SD and no USB Storage mode is very frustrating. It's crippleware -- Defective by design. I wish Google would wise up to this.

Thanks for the answers, and sorry that in the end I wasted your time. I think if I ever see someone using an A700, I'll be at least a bit jealous.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
No problem mate. No waste of time ;) Doesn't hurt to get some opinions before buying.

However, I hear from my mates, that the new N7 is prone to random re-boots and sleep of death. Not all of them, but a good chunk of them. Seems some software issues. Might wanna check the N7 (2013) forums for the post.

Good luck with your tab!

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
I found where the system registry files are stored inside the ffus. This is from my Lumia 928 factory ffu.

\Windows\System32\config - DEFAULT, DRIVERS, FP, ProvisionStore, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM
\Windows\System32\config\MOUNTMGR - SYSTEM
\Windows\System32\config\unmodified - BCD, DEFAULT, DRIVERS, NTUSER.DAT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, and SYSTEM
\EFIESP(Different Partition)\Windows\System32\config\unmodified - BCD, DEFAULT, DRIVERS, NTUSER.DAT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, and SYSTEM
BCD, DEFAULT, DRIVERS, NTUSER.DAT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, and SYSTEM

All of these files contain regf as the first few characters in hex. Beyond that, the files are mostly garbage looking at them in Notepad++.

I haven't been able to find any registry editors yet that can edit them, including ones built for Windows CE/Mobile or even Win7/8.

Anyone know of something that can display it in a normal fashion? (without needing a WP8 device to attempt to edit it on.)

EDIT: The files from \Windows\System32\config have been zipped for simplicity reasons (for those of you who don't have a ffu handy)

EDIT2 (August 22): The files from the GDR2/Amber update from my phone's rom have been added.

That works fine for .wim or a .zip, but these files are the complete registry store that's same format that Windows 2000, XP, Vista, ect. uses to store the settings for hardware/drivers, windows itself, and other apps that have that kind of access (e.x. Tier3 Applications)

If it's same format as XP/Vista type it should be easy openable, look for the application on the internet.

This is good stuff to know. Something that should be good to note is that while I decompiled the .NET for a few of the Verizon Xaps from the 928 ROM, I discovered some Nokia-specific COM Interop that interfaces with the registry. I'm hoping I can try something out and put up a test program within the next few days and make some registry changes.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vivekkalady:
Hi

I found a registry key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office Mobile\SPMC\Action\doc]

"Application"=dword:00000005

"ApplicationCommand"="app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5617/Default?CmdLine=-url %s"

"Action"=dword:00000003

this is for Microsoft office Word

I think we can open word using the link i guess (app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5617/)

so is this part useful?

can external commands executable through this part (CmdLine=-url %s) ??

[MENTION=2854207]snickler[/MENTION]: Let me know if you succeed with that. I managed to sideload an app using one of those libraries (after removing nearly all the interesting capabilities...), but immediately got an error about the component not being registered. I didn't try running regsvr or anything, though...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Hmmm, which phone do you have?

Edit: I tried to deploy just a sample app with one of the .winmds referenced, and got the 0x81030120 error

Holy fuzzle.. ANOTHER EDIT: I was able to do it. I had to remove all the damn Capabilities that I added from the Nokia Maps xap though.

I referenced the NokiaRegistryUtils.winmd and just ran this sample code

MessageBox.Show(NokiaRegistryUtils.Registry.IsChinaFirmware().ToString());

It returned "false" as expected.

I'm going to try something else now.

Something to note, in the WMAppManifest.xml, the following needs added after the <Tokens> declaration

<ActivatableClasses>

<InProcessServer>

<Path>NokiaRegistryUtils.dll</Path> <-- or whatever dll you're adding

<ActivatableClass ActivatableClassId="NokiaRegistryUtils.Registry" ThreadingModel="both" />

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Perfect. That's what I'm doing now, but just from my 920 ROM dump. I can access the registry sections that Nokia provides in their app, but I can't from the one you provided me. I'm going to do more tests to see if this is using HKCU rather than HKLM. It could also be that the registry keys have permissions placed on them.

Need a Nokia Device?

Thats great! If anyone needs a Nokia device to test on, Nokia has Remote Device Access to those who need it. Its a free service to anyone who has a Nokia DEVELOPER account, which is separate but free as well. The devices they mostly have are Lumia 820s, but the have a few others (620, 720, 920 and the 928.) The great thing about them, you can deploy an xap and run the apps. Some of those phones have sims in them and some of them have a "Nokia On-Device Diagnostic Tool". The only drawback, is that the connection can be SLOW.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Huh, you had to add the InProcServer manually? That may be the problem, then. I'm not sure why they're using COM - it works just fine to simply use the native Win32 APIs (add references to ADVAPI32LEGACY.LIB and/or KERNELBASE.LIB; that's what my NativeAccess library does and it works fine) - but it's good to know that COM is, in fact, usable.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Yeah, I already found those policy files. As I've said in other posts, if you can find a way to sideload an app that uses them, we can do a lot more than is currently possible - the internal and private capabilities (and some of the so-called public ones, most of which still won't install) have all kinds of cool potential.

One advantage of the WP8 app model, as opposed to the WP7 model that used ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES for everything, is that an app like you're making may well work on other devices. The fact that you got the interop-lock error means that the app did have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES specified, so it may use it for some things, but the registry access is probably not one of them.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
The best part is that the Nokia CityLens uses ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES, but I can't find anything that references it.

The winmds use System.Runtime.InteropServices though.

The Nokia app I got the RegistryRT from didn't use the INTEROP Capability at all, but I did notice that I had to add that extra stuff in the AppManifest.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
System.Runtime.InteropServices is just the stuff for interop with native code / COM (marshaling flags, COM interop, DllImport, etc.). It was used in (non-interop) native WP7 app components as well.

The WPInteropManifest is probably require to allow use of COM, I'm guessing, much as it was in WP7...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
I've only seen the Interopmanifest on a few xaps, but I can't truly find ANYTHING that utilizes it with any of the DLLS. The bulk of the xaps I've looked through that use the native winmd's and dlls don't use the CAP and the WPInteropManifest.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
I added the quick instructions in the op, hopefully some people will start looking inside them.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] :
I was thinking...

if we modify a .reg file on the emulator and try to send it to our phone either through an email attachment or clicking it through the web browser will the changes apply to the windows phone system? I'm sure no because this would seem like a simple exploit, but I havent tried it. Has anyone else? We can send certs through email.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
No, that won't work. The reason why it's possible to send certs through e-mail because the file type is associated to run a program to install certificates. This isn't available for installing registry files. Microsoft carefully thought this through.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
I doubt this would work, but is there something on the phone equivalent to "REGEDIT.EXE [ /L:system | /R:user ] [ /S ] importfile.REG"? I am wondering if we could use CPUGuy's Native Toast Application launcher (Haven't played with it) to run a native app with parameters to specify a regedit file.

So on this 928, the FM radio is disabled. the setting is under SOFTWARE\FMRadio\OEM\ The Dword for NotPresent is set to 1. I am guessing flipping this to 0 will enable it.

Another interesting place to look is SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityManager\ There is a list of ALL applications and capabilities required to use them. For example, the following things require InteropServices when used:

LIFETIMERSERVICE

ACCESSLIB_SVC

NCSDSVC

QCGNSSSVC

MULTIVARIANTSVC

NOKIASECNVUPD

PHONEPROVISIONER_OEM

DUMIGRATIONPROVISIONEROEM

EMMCCLNRSVC

HTTPSVC

MEDIASHARESVC

NOKCGSVC

NGPSVC

SENSOR_SERVICE

UPNPSVC

ok..so I think I figured out how the security stuff works with Windows Phone. The different capabilities are tied to "tiers" (called principle classes). "first party Applications, Second party applications, and third party applications. The phone determines what "tier" the application belongs to based on the EKU values the app was signed with. All of this data, including what EKU value is needed is located in SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityManager\PrincipalClasses.

Since we do have the ability to install root certificates on the phone, I am wondering if we could "sign" a test app with the right EKU, thus making it valid when the proper root certificate is installed on the device.

Is it possible to remote this using the PC regedit instead of the one on the phone, or will that require the remote registry service be service started?

Sent from my RM-860 (Lumia 928) using the OFFICIAL Tapatalk app.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
The phone needs the RemoteRegistry service enabled. You would also need a way to authenticate to the phone in order to access it. Another issue (At least with the Nokia devices) is that it appears that Nokia installed a Firewall service that runs at startup. So that firewall service could be blocking some interesting ports.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] :
Is there anyway to associate a file extension to a program? Like how adobe does with .pdf files?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
It still wouldn't make it possible. Microsoft has set up specific policies and tied them down to specific programs.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
Well I don't recall seeing the firewall reg file wasn't included in the gdr2 rom for my Lumia when I was running WinMerge on the vhd files, so it might be able to be fired. What would need to be done to start the service? We could brute force a username and password if it isn't administrator or your MS account like on Win8.
