For accessing to them people here pointed me the soft Called Total Commander, and type \Extended_Rom\ and you will be able to copy them to another forlder.

As far as I know, and please correct me if I am wrong, there is no way yet to unhide and unlock the rom, I which I could have this tool, but nothing yet
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] joebongo:
Many thanks

I got into my extrom a treat with that tip, nice one m8.

I will now be zipping up my rom and posting, unless someone already did it.

[General Questions and Answers] gromky:
My phone is slow as hell and I need to hard reset. I remember before, all my apps auto-downloaded afterwards. The settings were gone, but that's fine. I have tried several times (restoring from nandroid backup) and each time, nothing seems to happen despite leaving the phone on overnight. I have searched other threads and found the following:

I need to have "back up my data" and "automatic restore" checked in Settings -> Privacy. Did that before hard reset.

Found this answer: "if you go to the Play app and tap the 3 icons top right there is a setting so auto update the apps." Auto update doesn't appear to work, all it does is update apps you already have installed. After hard reset I only have about 15 basic apps, none of my old ones.

Found this answer: "All your phone apps are collected together in your market library. Just go there ad push the apps once again to your phone (just half a minute job actually). Its a bit tricky because the install button for push is hidden." So where is the hidden button?

I don't want to use a third-party app like Titanium Backup. I'd prefer a clean re-install from Google, not apk. I think some of my apk files and settings were the problem in the first place.

I could just reinstall all of them manually, but I have a lot and Google Play mixes up the apps I had installed with all of the apps I uninstalled years ago. I can't tell the difference! :(
[G2 General] ap3604:
Sigh,

I was all set to buy the iPhone 5s (I know, how lame right?) due to it's integration with iCloud and my Macbook Air.

I had defeated various attempts to turn me from the dark side towards the light (SGS4, HTC One, Nexus 4 price drop, etc), yet now the G2 really has me in it's grasp :(

I mean, it's not even making things fair either:

- 1080p IPS with great outdoor visibility

- Amazing all day battery life

- Super speedy snapdragon 800 processor

- Great camera with OIS

- 32GB of storage standard

- And I love KnockOn!

Gah! I put a lot of work into my upgrade plans, now the G2 has totally thrown them off (#firstworldproblems)

Why does this phone have to be so perfect? :crying:
[G2 General] jayochs:
i won't lie, that screen is pretty damn visible outside! i did set it to 100% brightness when i was out earlier taking pics, and the mid morning sun was right above me, and it's super sunny today..and i could still easily see the screen. that display rocks, hands down!

camera is great, too. it rocks in lowlight shots, and it kills the iphone 5's lowlight abilities! keep that in mind if you take a lot of indoors shots.

the battery is awesome. the other day i had 5 hours screen on time, and 17.5 hours off the charger..for me, that's AMAZING. i've never hit 5 hours screen on time with a phone before. my gs4 had great battery life too, but i would get 17 hours with only like 3 hours screen on time maybe. this thing rocks it.

and yeah, it's incredibly fast. this phone flies through menus, apps, etc..and when you set the animation speed to 0.5x instead of 1, it's even snappier.

i think you'd like it! should get it.
[G2 General] Dchibro:
Nothing is perfect, but yeah the G2 is pretty amazing. My first 24 hours with mine have pretty much blown me away. Oddly, I'm finding that it may have reached threshold of "too thin". I know that's subjective, but it almost feels like a big wafer to me. I'll need to get a case on it that as a little bit of bulk to feel more comfortable holding it. This is just me talking though. Others may and probably will disagree.

Otherwise, yeah, I'd say the G2 is definitely a contender for the best device of the year on any platform.
[G2 General] jayochs:
you're finding it too thin? hmm. it's a bit thicker than my S4 but i enjoy the bigger battery in it. i think it feels pretty good. it is a bit thicker with just the simple verizon TPU case, though..so maybe you won't need something too bulky to help add some thickness to it?
[G2 General] Darkestred:
I think it feels bigger than my s3 (even though it is) but at the same time smaller. Perhaps from the tapered edges. This phone is very near perfect. Any perfectionist can nitpick anything and create a laundry list of negatives but in all honesty and reality? It's pretty perfect, imo. It's silly that a fan gives me joy just to pick it up and turn it on, but it does. No phone has done that to date.
[G2 General] 20degrees:
I set my nexus 4 to the side and went back to BlackBerry for the q10. I was like "there's no phone that can top the keyboard". Well, here I am waiting for my g2 to be delivered Tuesday.

I'm really excited for the g2.

Side note: BlackBerry lacks apps badly.
[G2 General] akong702:
I agree it's kinda thin for me, I'll get a slim case for it. This is from someone that's coming from a gnex. Here's a screen shot of my battery life.
[G2 General] alhadee12:
I like my Z10, but as you said no apps. It has one of the best keyboards and I like the screen.
[G2 General] Hardcore73:
Love my G2 but, I don't like the qslide apps. I think the Samsung does a way better job with it. It's probably the only thing I don't like on the phone. But it is huge to me. I used to watch YouTube videos text or surf the Web at the same time. Now I cannot.
[G2 General] IamPro:
Look into Showtime YouTube app (xda had am article on it) which allows floating windows.
[G2 General] Hardcore73:
Ok cool thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kite-G:
Hi. im working on my own rom, but since i am a n00b when it comes to android development, i would like some help on this.

im making a rom using stock as base. i would like to know how to remove the sense launcher overall and replace it with another launcher like Nova or something.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] SuperAfnan:
Hello kite, what you need to do is install apex or nova, then adb pull /data/app

In your adb folder, you'll see either an app folder or the apps themselves.

Nova would be "com.teslacoil.launcher" or something. You should be able to tell which is which. :)

Any app pulled is usually "com" then the developer account, then whatever.

Just rename it to Nova.apk or Apex.apk.

Put it in your system/app folder.

To remove the Sense launcher, delete Rosie.apk.

Don't forget to press my thanks button if I helped you! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Kite-G:
a billion thanks!! :good: :)
[HTC EVO 3D] SuperAfnan:
No problem dude, if you need more help just ask. :)

When you finish the ROM, I recommend you publish it to XDA.

Good luck and have fun! :D
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celebdrake:
Well, I deleted the system partition of my Motorola XT 980... I had it rooted and updated to 4.1.2 before that. Now it won't boot, RDS won't find the device and i have no means to restore the system. I haven't been able to find info on that, so if someone could help me (either by telling me how to instal the O.S. again, restoring the SYSTEM partition, or redirecting me to some other post), I'd be so thankful. Sorry to bother you guys, but I have not much experience in this. Thanks, again.

Can you boot on recovery or fastboot?

Enviado desde mi XT890 usando Tapatalk
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celebdrake:
no, it wont reboot on either of them.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skupi20:
System partition is damage or deleted files. Cause you should without a problem enter fastboot. If you have problems enter fastboot, it's seems that you had done something more than only delete system partition. Or, If you see red logo Motorola and after that bootloop you should enter fastboot, maybe you don't do it properly

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celebdrake:
I remember I went to recovery menu and choose delete system partition, or something like that. since then, even RDS won't read the phone. Any other ideas? Thank you.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark2150:
1) Download your firmware from the repo.

2) RSDLite.

3) Turned off XT890 -> To USB with a pushed Camera button.

Or simply check out a "unbrick" thread.

fake image. that phone there is xperia z ultra and you Photoshopped it and made that. question is why? we all know 4.3 is at the hand. patience is the key.
[Xperia Z General] nirvananils:
Sorry mysticmetal,

but I didn't know anaything about Photoshop. I only saw this picture this evening and want to share it with the community.

Nothing more, iam doesn't interested in faking information.

You are false in your mind, it's not Xperia Z Ultra, it's a xperia Z.

The attachment is the picture from ZU and it doesn't match

We already knew that 4.3 would come to our XZ, isn't it? http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2013/07/25/on-android-jelly-bean-4-3/

Though no firmware certification yet, so it won't be within a week ;)
[Xperia Z General] Sidd_9:
To me it does not look fake at all. Plus the FB belongs to Sony Mobile.. if people would only take a moment to check everything out before make themselves look stupid in comments.

So wuhuuu official 4.3 will be here soon.. and by the looks of it with the enhanced UI found on the Z Ultra and Z1. The way to go Sony.
[Xperia Z General] nirvananils:

It's 100% fake. Infact, it's not fake, it's just stating what we already know.
[Xperia Z General] abajarde:
I think we all know they'll be updating the Xperia Z. It might not be the star of the show any longer but it certainly certified for 4.3. Sony themselves said they would update the phone. 4.3 doesn't really bring many most have features so I am not particularity rushing for it. What I do want are some of those xperia Z1 app enhancements in my Z.
[Xperia Z General] session20:
Yes, Everybody knows that 4.3 update is coming... He/She just shared the information of the update may come soon.,,

But the question is will it get Z1 UI and some of the camera features..

[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
I would rather Urge sony to drop 4.3 and directly upgrade to 4.4, i have a feeling if they do upgrade it to 4.3, it might be the last official update for Z
[Xperia Z General] Kondzioz:
We dont know what specification will 4.4 require, but the rumour says that its gonna be refreshed, super-light even for 500mb RAM smartphones. That, and the fact Xperia Z is not even a year old, still supported by qualcomm, makes me sure it definitely will be upgraded to 4.4. What is more Xperia Z was truely (not counting me) first SONY phone, which attracts clients. I mean first which does matter on market ( S and T didnt matter at all), there is too many people who bought this device, if SONY abandon such a great group its gonna be disaster for future flagships.
[Xperia Z General] Kirkymole:
Am I the only person who really does not cate? By the time the networks release an OTA (let's face it, the vast majority of users can't use flashtool, not everyone is rooted and such) we will be into like 4.9.

Ride it like you downhill it.
[Xperia Z General] Kondzioz:
Yea, you might be the one and only hahah personally, im getting high with every single post about update ;P i guess most of us do the same, thats why we visit this forum so often
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
Very true, and the fact that Z finally started the Sony quest to be recognized as a serious contender in the Flagship race. The reason i am not looking forward to 4.3 is mainly because it does not bring anything new to the table, so if it had to be one upgrade, it would rather be the latest. That said we always have XDA and Z is a pretty good device on a whole, so we should keep getting unofficial support for sometime.
[Xperia Z General] Kirkymole:
To be honest Sony have made their name fairly well. But like you said 4.3 doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table in terms of usability. That said I've only seen rumours and such rather than hard facts from Google themselves. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.

Ride it like you downhill it.
[Xperia Z General] LosserKlosser:
Haven't Sony already announced that the Z will get Android 5?
[Xperia Z General] Sidd_9:
Yes it's community Sony Mobile.. but be sure if this page was not in the interest of Sony Mobile they would ban it. And if you would see when the page was created and which links it serves under more info.. it does not look like a totally unrelated page to Sony Mobile. So I give it credibility. Plus we all know 4.3 is coming and the rendered pictures are of style that Sony uses so again very credible.

Don't really know what I had to argument about in this post, but what I wanted to say in the previous post - take some time and research before making comments. And it is a new information - it's meaning is to say that 4.3 update is just around the corner. It's an update to the info that Xperia Z is getting android 4.3.
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
I hope 4.3 will fix the display flickering finally :mad:
[Xperia Z General] slim207rc:
Fully correct. 99% of the announcements made by that page actually turned out to be true indeed! So why should they bother Makin' things up know!?

Makes no sense..

But we also all know about Sony and there update "promises". So let's just wait and see before speculating :D:thumbup:
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
No flicker for me on 4.2.2 ZL ;).

Anyway, I heard 4.3 will bring per-app settings for locilizaton ... that';s nice.

Apart from that I'm not really excited for it, unless it brings real improvement to battery life or something.

I'm pretty happy with current .244 TBH.. It's rock solid and super smooth for me.
[Xperia Z General] :
maybe u dont notice them i got flicker since 4.2 on white wallpapers its visible
[Xperia Z General] Kirkymole:
No flickering for me either. 244 firmware on the C6603.

[Xperia Z General] nemer12:
i think this flikering issue is from the mainboard
[Xperia Z General] CoolZoneAlex:
Got the same flickering issue since 4.2.2, usually after the display was off for a long time period. I have seen the same behavior on old LCD monitors at low room temperatures, when starting up.
[Xperia Z General] JohnnyCarrera:
is there an estimate when 4.3 comes out yet?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Christmas gift :)
[Xperia Z General] Kylez:
end of this month
[Xperia Z General] Fotogravin:
First there will be a certification for the new software, then somewhere between 1 week and up to more than a month it'll roll out. Since I don't see a new certification (*click*), it won't be really soon
[Xperia Z General] session20:
May be in October 2nd or 3rd Week !!! Just a guess as 4.3 update will be with Xperia Z1 UI..
[Xperia Z General] slim207rc:
The certification of the 244 update came out 4 weeks after rollout so can't go by that statement!

Nope, this is becoz of 4.2.2.

Even a Nexus 4 got screen flickering at 4.2.2 first.

And the flicker is gone for me after reflashing everything, so it's software fault.

Why not flash a Z1 rom. I'm running ExistenZ at the moment and it's awesome. I read that someone wanted to know about the camera... It's a million times better, and flash the physical camera button mod too. It's not a Z1, but that extra £400 saved looks even better.

No, they didn’t. They want to release it this month.
[Xperia Z General] warface:
Have you actually used 4.3?

I've got it on my N7. It's hardly a major change to Android. It won't make your Z shoot rainbows and unicorns from the SD card slot or grant you the power of Omniscience...

I don't know why so many people have a hard on for it....
[Xperia Z General] hebbe:
just because it's capable to run 4.4 doesn't mean it'll get (an official) 4.4. it's depending on the marketing of sony, not the phone specs.
[Xperia Z General] :
i dont care about the number of android

i want the new sony ui and camera

the 4.2 looks like **** boring
[Xperia Z General] warface:
Use a new launcher to change your UI, flash a rom and use the Z1 camera.

There's loads of ways to "improve" your Z without calling Sony **** and *****ing all the time.
[Xperia Z General] :
why do i need to flash stuff on and improve it by my self i payd to get the best of sony no?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
If you want the best, purchase a Z1 and be done with wining about it... I rather have a stable ROM then some totally not that different UI which will be just as boring as the current one in a matter of weeks... :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] :
i did a mistake buying the z and u tell me to get the z1 no thank you it looks like a door

need 3 hands to hold the z1
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
isnt it like the same dimensions as the Z?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
lol :laugh:

Then sell your Z and buy a HTC or Samsung (which are just as big) and be done with it :p

No, but its not that much larger ... its height is like 5mm higher or something in that order.
[Xperia Z General] :
i dont want to sell i like the z but i dont like that sony forgot about it
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
The fact that we got an update at all tells you they didn't forget about the Z... We had an update around once every 2 month's... Doesn't that tell you enough? :confused:
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:

[HTC Wildfire S] zarto:
Hi !

I just started to play with a Wildfire S sim locked by Orange (Cid : ORANG202).

I unlocked it (but it's still S-ON) and flashed successfully several custom roms (Marvellous CM10, CyanogenMod 10.1, AceOne 2.2).

Then I installed a Free Mobile's sim card. The phone only asked me for the sim card code pin, it was accepted, it but I had no network at all. Note that this sim card works in another phone.

I thought it was a simlock problem, that's why I asked Orange for the unlock code, they gave it to me but ...

My problem now is that the phone NEVER asked me for a network unlock code. I have no network. Some roms display a red cross on the sim card icon on the top bar.

Does someone know what's going wrong ?
[HTC Wildfire S] zarto:
I finally got it working after flashing nearly stock rom. The phone finally asked me for a network unlock code !

Thank you for your help guys :silly:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Olipro:
Since getting my XDAII a few days ago, I've been impressed with the number of customisations possible, and have managed to acheive a number of different tasks, however, I have as yet to cook my own ExtROM for it.

This is something I would very much like to do, and I have acquired an ms_.nbf from the end of the line update that O2 provides from their website.

I have all the necessary tools to do it, and I know exactly how to, but I do not know which packages I need to keep in order to have a PDA with fully functioning bluetooth, blackberry and ad nauseum. alternately, as I'm sure that there is probably an ExtROM with all the bare essentials in it (and probably newer version essentials too) so if someone could point me to one, or the other I'd be very grateful, and whatever it is, I am definitely interested in dumping O2Active.
