[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
Does anyone know if there is a way to improve or boost the phone's signal. My phone is rooted, unlocked, s-off, and I just updated all the radios, but the signal and data connection seems terrible. I live in downtown Fort Worth so I would think I would get a good signal but its rare to get full bars and when I step inside of a building it drops to 1 or none. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

New to Sprint?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
Lol

Yepp sorry fella but you bought pretty much the worse phone Sprint has in regards to signal
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
I've had Sprint all my life, but it does feel that way, I feel like the phone it self has a terrible time picking up a good signal. I thought updating the radios would fix this, but nothing. It's still bad.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
Did you only.update the radios or do the full firmware package?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NoClemency:
I did a full firmware package update and sadly still poor signal. I don't take it a different kernal would improve signal, that doesn't make since to me, but wanted to throw it out there if anyone knew?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You can't do just the radios anymore. Captain Throwback pulled the radio-only files some time ago.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
Its been a while since I've looked at his OP over there, thanks for the input...

Stretch the contacts for the antennas under the rear cover. It made a big difference on mine. There is a thread about it somewhere on here, but it's been buried for a long time.

Hello i have a rooted nexus 4 with paranoid android and i am a heavy user ( i play games and surf the web and open facebook and viber and whatsapp ... ) so i am searching for the best kernel that will help me to get better battery usage time and without loosing any important feature so can you please help me
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
they are all good. every device reacts different with every kernel, so one persons best can be another persons worst. what you have to do is try them all. thats the only way that you will find your best. and anyways, its your setup and usage that will determine your battery life. we all use our phones different, even the heavy users. generally, when you take control of your apps, is when you will get your best battery life. dont let your apps control you. greenify is a good app to help you start controlling your apps.

extsd2internal confusion

Hello all. Sorry but be warned: I'm a n00b on the loose.

A few months ago I flashed ultima rom to my S3. In version 12, the extsd2internal mod could be installed through the aroma install. I did so and it seemed to work - my 16GB external sd was switched to Internal and it showed the internal storage space as being the external and vice versa.

However, I upgraded to V13 and in that version, extsd2internal is installed by default and is enabled/disabled in the ultima rom settings. I enabled it and rebooted and noticed that it doesn't seem to have worked - the internal memory and external memory are reading pretty much exactly the same. I formatted the SD card, disabled the mod and re enabled the mod. Still the same outcome. Then I completely wiped my phone memory and sd card through CWM recovery, flashed the stock rom through odin and re-rooted, re-installed CWM and flashed Ultima ROM back onto my device - the mod installed through aroma installer. I went and checked in storage and to my disappointment the problem is still the same.

No matter what I've tried, I can't get the mod to work properly ever since I installed ultima rom v13, despite wiping everything and starting again. is it a partitioning problem from installing the mod multiple times?

Please help guys. Turn on your genius!

Either way I recommend trying the second tool in this post, the Impactor tool:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44431276&postcount=5

If Impactor says successful then you will just need to install SuperSU from play Store and you are good to go! If by chance it does not work, let me know and I know of a few other methods you can try. :) Good luck!

Impactor works on both the pro and the lite versions according to the guys that used it in this other thread

Hope this helps!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
This is a very simple application that enables you to specify any kind of Uri to launch. This is done through creating a Toast notification that, when clicked on, will execute the specified Uri. This uses a native method outside of the regular SDK; the standard methods available in the SDK that you'd normally use to create a Toast notification are restrictive in what kind of Uri you can specify. By using the native method not part of the SDK, these limitations can be by-passed.

I've attached both the XAP and the source code. The source project contains three projects:

CShellChromeAPI: The C++/CLI project which calls the native un-documented method

NativeToastLauncher: The .NET wrapper which simplifies the interaction with the C++/CLI project

NativeToastLauncherApp: The test application used to quickly launch any Uri

You'll notice I've hard-coded a default Uri when you launch the application: this will open the Windows Phone 8 "About" page.

To run this, you'll need to side load the XAP which requires a dev unlocked device...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djtonka:
Can I use any system GUID to launch?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
Any registered app GUID yes. You'd do app://GUID/_default (or replace the _default with the particular task to run - in most cases, that's _default).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
[MENTION=770625]cpuguy[/MENTION] this is awesome, thanks!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
If you guys are looking for GUIDS and default tasks, they are all in the app's WMAppMAnifest.xml. the "ProductID" is the GUID and the "DefaultTask Name" property contains the name of the default task.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] aclegg2011:
Hopefully we can use this to find a program to exploit.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] iPwnza:
Does anyone happen to have a list of the ID's for the system and settings apps? Obviously, I can't go into the code and get these without messing with the file system. If no one has them, then I can just trial/error until I get some...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
If you download the registry hives located at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2393883 , you can load the Software hvie and search for "app://" That will give you a few system files you can launch.

EDIT:

I posted a zip file of the default ones in a new thread.

IF anyone has tethering blocked, see if you can get it to work by launching this URI app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5629/Default
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] aclegg2011:
Im only seeing the app:// function used on the system settings options after going through the regsistries so far.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
that's what I saw too. I am having way more luck finding cool stuff in the extracted ffu. Take a look at the zip file in the new thread I started.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] aclegg2011:
yea, I saw the new thread. Hopefully somebody can find a exploit in all that. It executes some cool files. Too bad there wasn't a cmd.exe file on our phones that we can execute. :p
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
actually..there is! but it's stuck in a WIM. It inflates it on an "as-needed" basis.

I am hoping that we can use the backgroundworker to run some stuff elevated
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ultrashot:
But they all are pretty much isolated. It is unlikely that you will be able to run anything elevated :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] iPwnza:
Not only is there a CMD.exe, but there are other interesting things like a BSOD screen, Control Panel, registry keys referencing desktop (A future exploit I might attempt), and even native EXEs (We knew about native EXEs since WPs release).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Why does this launcher not work with "normal" toasts: {YOUR-APP-GUID} and "/Page1.xaml"? Only with empty GUID and full path.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Similarly, any chance this could be used to open arbitrary XAML pages, rather than just the ones defined in the app manifest? For example, something like what was posted in another thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45265419&postcount=56) using the following URI: app://5edbdbbc-2ab2-df11-8a2f-00237de2db9e/_default#/View/APNSettingPage.xaml to launch a hidden page in the Connection Setup app. I don't know if that's a weird behavior of CS or if its universally possible (and while it feels lazy to ask, I'm at work right now). There are a bunch of "hidden" pages in the ATIV S Diagnosis app, some of which would be very useful, but the navigation code for them is blocked or outright missing. If we could invoke those directly... There are probably a bunch of other such hidden gems in other OEM apps too.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
Yes you can. The way I found the one in the HTC app was by loading the dlls in JetBrain's dotPeek. Then I looked for the xaml files. It is all a relative URI based on what dotPeek/the app "sees". The only thing the manifest states is where the default entry point is for the page. Basically I looked in the manifest file for how it calls the "default" page. and then replace it with the relative URI for the other page you want.

If you guys want, I can write up a simple tutorial. I just have an HTC 8x, so my hands are tied. If someone can figure out how to deflate an nbh file so I can browse it, that'd be fantastic! I found a "dead" 521 on eBay that I am thinking of picking up for research since there are way more tools for Nokia.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
That's correct. I have been navigating to various - normally unreachable - XAML pages in quite a few of the Nokia apps. I gave an example of that in a different thread:

app://[COLOR="Navy"][B]2377fe1b-c10f-47da-92f3-fc517345a3c0[/B][/COLOR]/[COLOR="Orange"][B]_default[/B][/COLOR]#/[COLOR="Green"][B]Launcher[/B][/COLOR];component/[COLOR="DarkRed"][B]MainPage.xaml[/B][/COLOR]

In this example, I launch the Nokia extras+info app (2377fe1b-c10f-47da-92f3-fc517345a3c0) with the default entry point (_default) which, as [MENTION=358779]compu829[/MENTION] stated, can found in the app's manifest. Following that, you can add "#/" (not sure if either the hash-tag or slash can be taken out or both are required to work but I know with both, it does work) to the URI to specify a particular XAML file you'd like to open. Following the "#/", you get to specify the assembly (i.e. the .DLL in the XAP file) in which the XAML file is located (Launcher). And finally, you add ";component/" followed by the full path to the XAML as defined in the embedded resource file (MainPage.xaml).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] cpuguy:
I presume your reference to the "empty GUID" is for the first parameter of my static Launcher.LaunchToast method? That first parameter is, as far as I can see, ignored for the actual toast launch. If I'd have the signature of the "Shell_PostMessageToast" method, I could perhaps understand what it does but, without it, I just knew it wanted a GUID (passed to it as a string) and that that GUID could be an empty one. I reversed engineered the signature from that native method (found in ShellChromeAPI.dll) by taking a look at another native assembly calling it. Naturally, this only tells shows me how that method is being called but doesn't return the name of the parameters. If I remember correctly, the assembly calling that method was passing its own application GUID... I could have done the same but, I didn't see what use it had so I decided to keep passing it an empty GUID.

The format of the toast is different most likely because that's the raw toast launching method. The other format you're used to is the more developer friendly one that's sanitized prior to launching it (so you can't launch another app directly).

Interop-unlock achieved

DID IT!!!!!

I've interop-unlocked my ATIV S.

The process is a little hokey, and relies on having the Samsung disagnosis app; we'll either need to find a way to get that onto other phones, or find a similar vuln in them.

It's possible, though, and I've done it. Stock TELUS Mobility ROM, standard AppHub dev unlock (should work with the free unlock).

I can install apps with both ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES, and with non-public capabilities (internal or private), and they run.

This is a beautiful, beautiful day. It's 5AM and pouring rain outside and I need to be at work in four hours, but I could hardly be happier!

I know the way to download other OEM's app onto your own devices, whatever OEM you are.

I also know if you set your system time to year 2213, run the app will show the Windows Phone Store link

So, if:

1. Samsung diagnosis app can be run on Lumia

2. Samsung diagnosis app exist in Windows Phone Store

we can Interop-unlock Lumia

Great News :D cant wait till this hip my lumia :D thx heaps man
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] megasounds:

i also succesfully installed some apps with : <Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES" />

so that went ok ...i am testing further with these apps

I also noticed that my MaxUnsignedApp went back to 10 after 30min.

so what i did :

change : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg

PortalUrlProd to : http://127.0.0.1

and : PortalUrlInt to : http://127.0.0.1

lets hope this prevent relock my unlocked device

and change : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install

to : MaxUnsignedApp	99999

and YES i can install/sideload ANY apps on my samsung ativ s

to be continued !
