[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] NightmarE:
hi folks..

i just wonder how long it will take until the battery fall down while changing battery profile to make the Power always on and turn it off by closing the lid... the advantages of this use are ....

1- you can receive Bluetooth Beams while your device is closed.

2- Wlan will be always on and connected so if you are downloading something it will not disconnect after closing the lid.

3- it will not hang after opening the lid... i know that was annoying thing but this will solve the problem... and i think will cost more battery power.

4- Also if you receive call the ringer will not hang as always...

so guys what do you think about that ... does it eat the battery for short time or it doesn't make sense????

Hello,

I will be traveling soon overseas and I was hoping to swap out my SIM card for one to use locally. I already have the unlock code from AT&T and was wondering if that would actually work or not. By what I have read, I have my doubts.

I am running CM 10.1.2 (Android 4.2.2). I have heard that the LTE phones (which this is being on AT&T's 4G network) running CM will not let you enter the unlock codes once you've inserted a new SIM.

I don't know if entering *#*#4636#*#* and switching my network type to something besides LTE/GSM auto (PRL) would help or not. If somebody could give me some kind of definitive answer about this, I'd appreciate it so I don't waste my time trying to pick up the SIM card at the airport.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] gina$zanboti:
What are the best charging practices to use with the lithium polymer battery that's in the 2014? Given that it takes so long to charge the darn thing having it less than fully changed seems like a huge hassle and a problem just waiting to happen. My laptop has a lithium polymer and from what I've heard it's best to keep it charged around 60% as a full charge or very low charge could hurt the battery life.

I was hoping I could just charge the thing every night and wake up with a full charge, but if it's going to kill my battery life then I'm not sure what I should do.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] kkretch:

Maintain charge between 40 and 80 percent to increase the life of lithium ion/polymer batteries.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Ettepetje:
Haven't used my old Note 10.1 (or my brand new one) too much, but my Note 1, Note 2 and iPad 4 I keep charged constantly and every 2 weeks or so I fully discharge (=use it until it is 10% full). This way I can nearly always take it with me to some forsaken place (without electricity) for many hours. I discharge whenever convenient or when the battery has run below 80-85%. Battery after one year of use is excellent. Do not use this method with crappy chargers on crappy phones as they could overcharge the battery, which is bad for battery life. As an indicator: Your phone should be cold when on charger and battery full.

[General Questions and Answers] quakeaz:
Hello,

I am trying to find a way to free space on my Samsung Galaxy Centura (SCH-S738C) without rooting. I thought symlinks would be the answer to all my problems, because the phone stock comes with the ln command.

However, this is what I have done and the outcome:

/mnt/sdcard is the emulated SD-card that is really internal storage.

/mnt/extSdCard is the true removable SD-card.

I can create a text file on the external SD-card, for example /mnt/extSdCard/test.txt

ln -s /mnt/extSdCard/test.txt /mnt/sdcard/text.txt

Link is created sucessfully.

cat /mnt/sdcard/test.txt will display the contents of test.txt located on external SD.

However, if I try to link for example Minecraft PE worlds from the external SD to internal storage, the link is created successfully, however the game does not see the files.

I am not sure why this is, the links work properly, I can see the linked files if I 'ls /mnt/sdcard/games/MinecraftWorlds/' but the game wont see them.

Is there a reason for this? Obviously the links are successful since I can 'cat' a text file link and see its contents?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] JooseyJay:
I think I ran into this problem trying to run games on linux from installs on my windows partition. But I think that may have been because of the different filesystems or some other problem.

Hi, I am a newbie to xda-developers. Currently I don't have permission to answer the original openpdroid or autopatcher thread, so I post my question here.

The original autopatcher thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1719408)

said it doesn't support system.img and odex'ed rom.

So I used a 3rd party tool named Android-Kitchen to convert the original nexus 4 factory image into update.zip format and de-odex'ed it.

Then I tried to use autopatcher to patch the output zip file, but it failed.

So I just want to know whether autopatcher supports that rom. Or has anybody already created and shared such a patch.zip (so no need for others to do the patch work again)?

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] bal666:
Hi folks,

I've had some sleep now so am editing the original posting to make it clearer and give due credit!

The attached application is based mostly on Wilems (itsme) tool (http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/xda2nbftool/alpinenbfdecode.pl) - so the bulk of the credit goes to him. All I did was work out the checksum algorithm; but as I really suck at Perl, my tool is written in C.

Anyway, this tool allows the decoding of ms_.nbf extended rom files to their header and fat16 image (which can be mounted and modified).

The sneaky part of this tool then allows these two components to be encoded to give a working rom file that can be uploaded to the Alpine device using the usual ROMUpgradeUt.exe application.

Now, PLEASE USE WITH CARE - as I won't be held responsible if using this tool results in a dead Alpine device! Usual disclaimer ..... Also this is an alpha version, so any feedback would be appreciated.

The tool is command line based (no GUI yet - although I will do that soon).

Run the tool without any parameters to get the help - but here's a quick guide:

1. Extract a suitable upgrade (e.g. XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162.exe) to a directory like c:\upgrade

2. delete nk.nbf & radio_.nbf files

3. put the alpine_ext_rom_tool.exe in this directory (c:\upgrade)

4. run it to extract the fat16 file and header :

alpine_ext_rom_tool.exe -d -n ms_.nbf

5. this creates ms_.fat and ms_.hdr

6. edit the ms_.hdr (see comments in this file for instructions)

7. mount ms_.fat and add/remove files as needed (updating Config.txt)

8. delete the old ms_.nbf file in c:\upgrade

9. run the tool to create a new nbf file:

alpine_ext_rom_tool.exe -e -f ms_.fat

10. make sure the files been created

11. run ROMUpgradeUt.exe or MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to update the extended rom on your alpine!

Let me know how you get on if you do decide to give it a go!

Splash screen

Well as a follow up and after some experimenting - seems like the splash screen is hidden within the extended rom somewhere.

I used the Imate and O2 extended roms as bases, and even after deleting all cabs, etc, within these files and placing my own cabs within - I still get a splash screen which is different between. That is the Imate one using the imate extended rom and the o2 one using the o2 extended rom.

I assume that this is hidden somewhere, but not as a file. It would be nice to be able to edit this as well. Does anyone have any information on where the splash screen may be?

Although I haven't tried using a new, clean, FAT16 image file ... maybe that would give just the default windows mobile splash.... hmmmm

Hey ho
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] bal666:
splash image

Splash screen is appended at the end of the FAT16 image.

The size of the fat file extracted from the nbf file is 0x18C0000 and the last 0x40000 bytes of this file are the splash screen in nb format.

So theoretically if you replace the last 0x40000 bytes of the fat file with your chosen splash screen (format as nb using nb_image_converter_859_418.exe) then that's the splash screen you'll get on startup....

Hmmmmm, quiet round here ain't it? Maybe I'll just talk to myself :wink: - more than likely this has all been figured out before ... perhaps I should've done some searching before I started?

Yes i'm another, doing the rounds of the forum's and threads looking for a convienient solution to the extended ROM. I been sitting on the outer cause i don't think i can make a worthwhile contribution to your quest.

I'm just not prgram savy

Good at following instructions thow!!

I'm desperate to build a nice extended ROM with all the features of Special edition you guys produced some time ago.

Could you point me to a CABS listing that can tell me whats worth retaining/ updating/removing. I'm using the Dump ROM out method.

Which incidently is giving a little grief with format of the created files, ext .img. Any thoughts

So keep up the good work, i'm sure theres a stack of people counting on your good work.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] bal666:
Hi SubZero & Mike,

thanks for that - makes it seem somewhat more worthwhile. I actually wrote the tool out of boredom, and the fact that I continually play with my XDA and wanted an easy way to restore all my programs and settings; rather than doing it manually.

Mike, there are a number of pages/sites with extended rom cab listings - like http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/ although I couldn't get into it today.

As for your dumprom problems ... sorry mate I've never used it - although there is a thread somewhere here with that (although I'm sure you've seen it) ...

Anyway, the next program will do the same as now but also allow the alteration of the built-in splash screen image - might as well now I've started. But I doubt I'll do a gui version, it's just not worth the aggro!

Checksum Algorithm

Hi GBird,

thanks for that.

Also I've had a few people ask how the checksum is calculated, so the code is included below. The alpine_crc_key_lookup uses the same keyset as the blue angel - see nbfutils from wilem (itsme); and I suspect the algorithm is the same as well (I'm not going to go and look ... too much effort involved).

Generate a crc for the fat16 image portion of the extended rom and add this to the crc for the header portion (without the checksum field, meaning only the first 120 bytes). This gives you the key you should be using to encode the whole extended rom.

Enjoy!

Hi Harry

simple instructions would be as follows:

1. Extract a suitable upgrade, preferably from your provider to a directory like c:\upgrade. Mine is O2, so I use e.g. XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162.exe

2. delete nk.nbf & radio_.nbf files from the c:\upgrade directory

3. put the alpine_ext_rom_tool.exe in this directory (c:\upgrade)

4. Open a dos window and cd to c:\upgrade

5. Run alpine_ext_rom_tool.exe to extract the fat16 file and header, like this : alpine_ext_rom_tool.exe -d -n ms_.nbf

6. this creates ms_.fat and ms_.hdr

7. download and install "Extra Drive Creator Pro" from http://www.extradrivecreator.com/download/

8. In Extra Drive Creator add a "File to Drive" using the ms_.fat file in the c:\upgrade directory

9. Add/remove files cab files as needed

10. update the Config.txt file on the mapped drive, open it in a text editor and you'll notice it contains a list of cab files and the order to install them

11. delete the old ms_.nbf file in c:\upgrade

12. run the tool to create a new nbf file: alpine_ext_rom_tool.exe -e -f ms_.fat

13. make sure the ms_.nbf file has been created in c:\upgrade

14. run ROMUpgradeUt.exe to update the extended rom on your alpine!

Hope that helps

Hi there,

Do you know if there is an issue with the size of the files that are added to the extended ROM ie can you use the whole 24MB?

Using the SD card method with the ntrw.exe file, you are limited to 20.8MB otherwise you start have corrupt CAB files in your extended ROM.
