Knock knock knock

It would be great if the phone would utilize the knock knock gesture for something like this.

* Knock Knock Knock - phone on/off

* Knock Knock - Hide/reveal buttons

With UDN app (lite version on Google Play, full version here on XDA) you can customize and make navigation bar transparent, easily toggle it on and off. It's not quite what you requested, but it works really nice. Requires root.

I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario and to get rid of standard T-Mobile wallpapers aand stuff I have deleted some files from the extended rom, using the program Total Commander. Off course I've made a backup of the extended rom first.

However, I deleted one file that I like to have back. How can I restore that file from my back up?

The actaul t mobile stuff is written in to customisation file for the k jam.

So hard reset, browse through your back up and play with files till you find the one you need. Run from the sd card.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Lenop:
Hmm, I still do not get it. I have put the file i'd like to have back in my extended rom on my SD. Now, if I run that particular .cab file, I get confirmnation that the file has been installed.

However, if I explore my extended rom with Total Commander, the file has not been put back in the extended rom. Even if I soft reset.

So, can anybody explain how to put a back upped file that is on my SD back into the extended rom?

Another question I can not find a clear answer for: how do I get into bootloader so I can update my TMobile Vario Rom to a I-mate rom. Any step by step how-to?

Thanks

Yes, but superior auto loses a considerable amount of detail and quality (it unnecessarily increases the iso)

for better results you can use the food options or you can deactivate the scenes, using lowest iso values and (in good light conditions) decreasing exposure level

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfsupercenter:
So I've been having this weird problem since I got my phone.

I notice that basically any text messages I restore from a backup program, whether it's SMS Backup/Restore, MyBackup, Titanium Backup, Handcent SMS, etc etc - the date always shows the current date and not the original message date.

This is kind-of a problem, since my messages have occasionally wiped themselves out leaving me only stuck with the backups.

So I took the .db file from the /data folder (I actually got the exact location from this forum), and tried opening it with a SQLite editor on my PC. Surely enough, the date column was "0" for every single message.

Is there a particular reason why this is? And how does the phone even store the dates you send/receive messages if they aren't stored with the SMS's themselves? I need some way to back up and restore my messages that will preserve the dates - right now literally the only option is a complete nandroid backup, which is a real pain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kacanghantu:
hi everybody..i have questions before i flash rom on my brother phone..before that,what i need is,i must root phone 1st right.the version is ICS DXLR5..my question is,

1)can i root phone with latest phil cwm or i must choose DXLR5 kernel only?

2)can i flash any 4.3 rom using cwm that come with phil root package?i ask this because on galaxy wonder,we need cwm 4.0.3.8 and above to make 4.3 rom work.

3)and is it yellow triangle always appear after flash rom?

thanks in advance guys..and sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
1. If you just want to get cwm then you can flash the latest Philz kernel. But the phone won't boot. At the latest kernel is of JB. So if you want root and cwm and you want the phone to boot, use the one for your rom.

2. Philz kernel mostly has cwm 6+ so there is no question about this. But sometimes it can give error flashing cm/aosp roms. In such a scenario you will need to first flash a cm 10.2 kernel then reboot into recovery. Do the wipes and flash the rom.

3. Flashing a rom using the recovery will not give yellow triangle. Nor if you flash a stock rom using odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kacanghantu:
so that mean if i flash latest philz kernel then i flash rom straigh away,no problem will occur right..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
There should not be any problems. Be sure to place all files need like rom zip and gapps before hand on the phone storage. As after flashing jb kernel, you will only have access to recovery. To be on the safe side, also keep a copy of cm 10.2 kernel zip file as sometimes Philz kernel might show error flashing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kacanghantu:
but i can't search cm10.2 kernel on android developement..can u share where is it..thanks bro

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonelsr:
(I know this thread maybe should belong to Development forum, but I'm posting here since I don't have enough posts to discuss there yet)

I'm in the second year of Computer Science, being a dynamic/interpreted languages programmer for over 6 years now, C/C++ for 2 years.

I have a solid understanding on the x86 PC architecture: interrupts, buses, etc. I'm pretty good at basic x86 assembly... Been studying UEFI for over a month... Whatever.

I've lost the past couple hours searching but didn't find anything on the architecture of our device. Is the "Bootloader" here compared to a BIOS? Or is it like any PC bootloader (MS-DOS, Windows, Linux bootloaders). Is there anything like a BIOS at all or does the OS, once booted, manages all the hardware interrupts by itself? Can I use INT 10H on XT890? Is it ANYTHING close to the PC architecture?

PCI, ISA, (parallel and serial) "ports" managed by a chipset between the peripherals and the x86 core itself?

Ok, it's x86. Once the system has booted, we can call x86 instructions, ok... But what is under that? Is there any reference on this? How can I boot my own code, if it's not Linux?

I really got nowhere trying to learn about the architecture underneath Android and Motorola's Bootloader on Medfield. Found nothing on Intel nor Motorola websites. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samuelgames:
I would like more info about the RAZR I as well, considering it's the only mainstream phone with a x86 processor I'd expect more documentation about it, I am receiving a RAZR I soon.

For what I know, it's boot process is similar to other Android devices, it loads and decompresses a boot.img file that includes a ramdisk and the kernel, you should be able to load another non-linux OS by chainloading a secondary bootloader there, I honestly would like to see more development on the Razr i, specifically to get native Gnu-linux with x11 running
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonelsr:
Using [MENTION=4218676]thiagomtl[/MENTION]'s links, I was able to understand a little more about the Boot process. XT890 seems to have basically the same mechanics of the ARM ones, but x86 tuned.

However I'm yet to understand the differences between "normal" Linux bootstrapping and the Android Bootloader's one.

On a average legacy Linux box we have GRUB/LILO on the MBR. Making a hell of a simplification here: The user turns the PC on, BIOS does the POST and then loads whatever code is on the MBR. GRUB is a very small program there, which simply loads a driver for the storage device, loads vmlinuz and the f*ing ramdisk on the memory and executes it (effectively by simply pointing the IP to the address where the kernel is on the memory).
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonelsr:
But the Boot process is just a part of my original question. Ok, a important one, but a part.

What about the structure of the device? How it's all implemented? Is the display using plain old VESA VBE? Are the input devices PS/2? USB? Is the power implemented using ACPI standards? lol
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samuelgames:
As far as I'm concerned Atom SoC doesn't respect many industry standards for the architecture, even for those who run Windows 8, buttons on the Razr I should be naturally be defined as GPIO as the notification LED, I don't think the display respects VESA standards (SGX 540 can't even do scaling) but it should fallback to them at some extent depending on how you initialize the framebuffer.

All of this should be in the Motorola kernel, I haven't taken a look at it but I'll surely will once I get my phone

[MENTION=4479363]Hazou[/MENTION], [MENTION=3740996]YaPeL[/MENTION], [MENTION=5103965]Omar-Avelar[/MENTION]

you guys know anything about this?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
Ok this is all i know about it by searching through the code and internet and by finding out myself (no sources included, just my memory). It's all linux, nothing like Windows.

Kernel:

We indeed are making a x86 kernel, but not for normal PC's. We use the mid-x86 implementation within the x86 code of the kernel. (arch/x86/platform/mid-x86) MID is the intel word for all the socs for mobile platforms intel is using. The normal upstream linux doesn't provide all the necessary code. And is has changed with the new android version 4.4.2 for our device.

Boot sequence:

The android devices use some sort of bootloader. Droidboot. Droidboot includes the fastboot commands and starts the bringup of the android system. You can read about it on the internet. In most devices (ARM) it is the first thing thats get called for.

Our intel device is a little different. Before the droidboot gets loaded the firmware of the device loads another OS. Also called POS (i think preprocessor OS, or something). Those gets updated with the dix and efwi(wrong name) files we got. The POS can be accessed by booting in the medfield download through the camera button, if i am correct. The POS then loads the droidboot which will in turn load the rest, like a linux device which loads from the bootloader.

The partition layout can be found in the gpt.bin. It can be flashed through fastboot and can change every partition afaik.

So the boot order is:

1. POS/RADIO

2. DROIDBOOT

3. BOOT.IMG is like linux. First the kernel then the ramdisk with the kernel modules.

4. ANDROID

To comment about the JB implementation.

We can build our own kernel and we can, if we want and take the time, upgrade the kernel to the newest version (for android is that 3.10, but we should be able to manage to go fully upstream 3.17). But that takes a lot of time.

I also noticed that, from what i heard, some kernel modules specific for our device has changed and now the kernel that we have can't load the new firmware files in 4.4. So we will need the next kernel from Moto to compile our own when 4.4.2 is released. Those changed are not upstream.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flacid Monkey:
This is the most interesting part for hundreds of us. Is there a way we can find what sectors are used for the pos so we can possibly repair code corrupt?

I have a feeling the gpt is messed up so any amount of writing to the dnx or ifwi will be in the wrong location.

I can't find any information on this phone at all.

I think it's time I bought a spare mobo and dumped everything to compare a broken to working
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
If i am correct they are present on the partition layout of the phone. I just don't know wish ones are the right ones. Never looked good enough at that.

Also to repair the gpt and write the dnx or ofwi to the right location u need a dd command or flash command with the right parameters. The flash command most likely won't work because of the gpt partition and the DD command wont either because most of the time u don't have access to a recovery anymore.

But my knowledge about this is limited, so if u dare to put your phone on the line and have maybe the knowledge and skills to do what some people need, please do :) I can't and need my phone working :P
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flacid Monkey:
Skills/knowledge = limited. I'm no programmer but I take information in like a 100 petabyte SSD.

My phones knackered, I'm trying to fix it but it's not easy! If it's fixed, I'll break it again to make sure the fix works :good:

It's going to be a long road, there is zero success since the first report of code corrupt.

As you say, I need the right param. There's almost no information about it anywhere and what information is about is very fragmented.

I'll keep you updated
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
I am almost certain it can be fixed as long as it is a software failure (some maybe have a hardware failure). As this seems one of them it should be fixable as long as your BL is unlocked. With a locked bootloader u don't stand any chance (nah, maybe with medfield flasher, but that one is also limited).

Take a look at the acer padphone or something. Dunno how it is called exactly. Is also uses the intel SOC and makes use of the medfield flasher.

I never had a phone thats corrupt so can't say much about it, but i can help with thinking my way through. If u have that problem can u boot in fastboot or is that even impossible? I know we can flash the POS and fastboot through xfstk. So with the right combination it should work. And if not we can try flash the modem as extra if that is possible. But do know it can hard-brick the device (modem, lowest thing of the device) of-course, aldo u don't have much choice now :P

Another thing, because fastboot (and even recovery) can flash the dix, ifwi and bootloader files. I 'assume' xfstk (that can also flash the ifwi, dix and bootloader) can flash the whole emmc with indeed the right parameters. We have the source code of the fastboot/recovery ifwi, dix and bootloader flasher. Also called update_osip.

So think it out, i will wait and see.
