@ funky0308

I want to give the Advanced Xperia Launcher a try. As I was installing iHackers, I was choosing both (Xperia Launcher and the advanced one) at the Aroma Installer. How can I change now?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] AndroidInsanity:
Link? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
For Advanced Launcher - just google advanced Xperia Launcher 2.0.6

My themes are under Z1 themes and apps...

If you want nexus app drawer icon I'll upload it(I edited that but can't publish - it's not originally my app)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sm.vassallo:
Managed to uninstall the apk fine but the problem remains after installing from the play store.

Thanks for the help, back to a stock ROM for me.

Hi all, tis my first post so please help.

Can i connect my Jam to my computer using bluetooth connectivity and then use my computer's internet connection to connect to the internet from my Jam?

If it is possible please Help me...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bolasz:
Just connect to AS on your PC via BT and your Jam will automaticaly use your computer's connection (this is called passthrough).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] yogioz:
Does anyone know how to get passthrough to work is AS is via a Citrix session?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HyperMalac:
Well...It's a bit complicated but I'll try to write it down clearly, and easy...

I'm Hungarian (using Hungarian Windows) so I don't know some description from other languaged Windows. But I try to translate it properly...

So the solution:

What you need:

- The first thing you need is a Bluesoleil BT driver. It is a special Bluetooth Stack, and you're able to build a PAN (Personal Area Network) with is.

- The second stuff you need is a patch for the original MS Stack.You can add COM Ports with it.

- Active Sync 4.1

- A BT USB Donlge which has a PAN service.

Let's start it:

1. Install the BT Stacks to your magician.

2. Put your USB Bluetooth Dongle to your PC.

(It's not necessary to install the driver if you use Windows XP)

3. Open the "Bluetooth Devices" from: Start -> Settings -> Faxes and other hardwares -> Bluetooth Devices.

4. Search for your PPC.

5. Specify an "Incoming Port" (ex.: Com Port 8 Incoming).

6. Go to your PPC, use the patched MS Stack and specify an "Outgoing Port" (ex.: Com port 5 Outgoing).

7. Open Active Sync 4.1, and check the "Allow Usb connections" checkbox

8. Configure the "Allow connections on this port" to your Outgoing Port (ex.: If you use COM 5 for Outgiong port on your PPC, then config tihs option on your PC to the COM 5)

9. Configure the "This computer connects to the" dialog to "The Internet".

10. Change the BT Stack on your PPC with "Bluetooth Switch" (you'll need to perform a soft reset)

11. After Soft reset start Bluesoleil Stack and search for the USB Dongle.Double click on the PC icon to search services.

12. In services choose PAN network.

Your device will try to connect to your PC, and if it's connected run Active Sync via BT.If this is comleted, you should be able to connect to the internet from your PPC, and you can use MSN Messenger too if you have.

COMPLETE!!!

If you can't understand a step clearly (beacuse I've mistyped something, of translated it wrong etc.) write down what is it and I try to explain it more detailed.

If you have problems with this solution, reply it to me and I'll make a How To Do.PDF with pictures in it
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
It doesn't have to use Bluesoleil BT stack at all. The MS stack comes w/ yr magician can do the BT ActiveSync without any problem. U could check my old post in a month ago for steps to do BT ActiveSync.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HyperMalac:
Well, I tried a 1000 times, but I can not do a bt Active Sync via BT.But I've tried Bluesoleil Stack and it works good for me. :D :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bolasz:
The trick is to start the pairing on the pda from within AS.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sheraz2000:
Hmmm so where do i get this "Bluesoleil Stack" and once i get my Jam Connected to my PC thru Active Sync, CAN I NOW USE THE INTERNET ?? or does it needs some settings on my JAM.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
i've always used MS$ bt stack with AS and surf without any problems.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] :
My BT dongle is built by IVT corp, somehow I can't use MS BT stack so I have to install BlueSoleil to make it work.

So here's my problem...

PC: BlueSoleil 1.6.1.4 has only com ports 18-28 (can't add ports)

PPC: has only com ports 4 & 5 (can't add ports)

ActiveSync: Allows only com 1 & 2

How can you add ports so I can use the same for both PC and PPC?

Can you please give more details how to use the MS Stack on the PPC?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
Why U need to have this requirement??? The port# for both end independant. Eg: The AS on my desktop using Com4 and the AS on the PPC may use Com5.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] SkizZO:
IT's POSSIBLE to Navigate with Magician via BT with his ORIGINAL BT Stack.

The only "bug" is that there isn't a PAN.

Look HERE
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] :
6. Go to your PPC, use the patched MS Stack and specify an "Outgoing Port" (ex.: Com port 5 Outgoing).

7. Open Active Sync 4.1, and check the "Allow Usb connections" checkbox

8. Configure the "Allow connections on this port" to your Outgoing Port (ex.: If you use COM 5 for Outgiong port on your PPC, then config tihs option on your PC to the COM 5)

My PPC has only outgoing com port 5 while Active Sync can only connect to com ports 1 & 2. I need to match them right?

Thanks for the reply, the problem is that my bluetooth recognizes only ports 18-29. I don't have any hidden/unused ports already checked it.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] rustoss:
Dice, try to find out which important com-ports are used at all, write them down to paper, then take upper one and change down step by step each port lookslike busy, but free (don`t change important com-ports )! this way free your ports. then uninstall bluesoleil, reboot , and install bluesoleil again, reboot and you will see all bluetooth ports for bluesoleil in lower position. check ports in Activesync if its won`t be there reinstall Activesync 4.1!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
I didn't read that guide. But step 8 is definitately misleading! As I said before, they are indenpendant and doesn't have to be match.

For our magician, the outgoing port is FIXED to com5. On the PC, the Com port number can be anything depends on what COM port is assigned as Serial connection for yr BT stack. Eg. I need to use Com 4 when I am using the Widcomm BT driver. But I need to use Com7 when I was trying the Tosbhiba BT stack. So, test them out if U are not sure what com port is using on yr PC for serial connection.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HyperMalac:
Sorry, if I mislead you.I use Bluesoleil Stack, and I've matched the ports and it works.After I tried it on different ports and it worked too. :D

AND ONE MORE THING:

I've tried an easier way to surf on the net via BT.But it still uses Bluesoleil ...

- All you need is just simply open Bluesoleil Stack on the PPC.

- Then on the PC go to Bluetooth Settings and start pairing the PPC.

- After the pairing scan for the Computer services on the PPC and if all thing are works well you get "PAN" option.Connect and you're Done!

All guys who says it is not necessary to get Bluesoleil Stack:

My dongle is an IVT BT Dongle and I can't use the original stack to surf the net.But if you say it's possible on some BT Dongles I believe it.

bolasz:

Thanks for the trick (start pairing from PDA).I'll try it and post the result :)

sheraz2000:

I've linked the Bluesoleil Stack, so you can download it.

I think you can use the internet without any setting on the JAM.If you can't use the net, try to set your firewall.

Well thats for today and once again sorry for the misleading.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] :
Many thanks to those who replied.

I'm also using the IVT BT dongle. Looks like I need to use Bluesoleil to make it work. I've already managed to connected to PAN. I've already allowed Internet Connection sharing on my computer and disabled firewall but still can't surf the net :cry:

Are there any settings I need to change in the PAN?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dgaust:
You can force the IVT dongles to use the WIDCOMM stack as opposed to the Bluesoleil one. I couldn't find the thread I used on GSM-Forum, but I had a copy saved...

Basically all you do is:

0. Uninstall all your bluetooth software. Unplug the Dongle for this step

1. Download Widcomm 4.0.1.700 from here: http://www.mobidick.biz/downloads.shtml

2. Download Billyx's Patches from here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=179871

3. SP2 Users: (i dont know if this step does anything, but i read somewhere to do it, and it everything worked for me. Though it might work if you skip this step)

Go to Start -> Run ->write "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter. Go to the services tab and uncheck Bluetooth Service. Then hit OK. You might wanna restart, i think i did step 4 before doing that though.

4. Install Widcomm. Make sure the Dongle is plugged in it should recognise the dongle and it began installing the issc drivers. Restart PC

(at this point widcomm should be blue and red, and asking for the dreadful license.)

5. Restart PC in Safe Mode. Use Billyx's patch to overwrite the files in C:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software using the 2 .EXEs

and files in C:\WINDOWS\system32 using the .DLLs

6. Restart, and bluetooth should now be blue and white.

7. Connect your devices. Begin using them

You're done!!

It works well for me.[/url]
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Artosoft:
Hi,

I am successfully setup ActiveSync via bluetooth (and get internet access by activesync) using below method. No need to install stack or anything to PPC. I forgot where I found it, but I copied the step already.

To the author of this step, apologize me to paste your post here without your permission. My intention is to help others. Since I am success with this step, I share with others.

Here is the steps:

---

1)On your PC go to the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth". In the "Options" tab, make sure all the ticks are on. You'll now see a little bluetooth icon on your system tray. Makes it easier to access in the future. Your PC should also be ready to be found as long as you ticked the fist box in the step above.

2)On your Jam, Go to Start, Settings, System (Tab), Bluetooth Settings. On the screen that comes up you ONLY want to hit start. Leave the incoming and outgoing checkboxes OFF!!!

3)You will now be taken to the partnership screen, where you just follow the instructions to add your PC. Follow through until you hit finish. Close everything down until you're back at the today screen.

4)Back to your PC, double click on the Bluetooth icon in your system tray. Go to "Com Ports" (Tab) and click "Add". Choose incoming. A You'll see an incoming port added to the list (probably be the only item there). It should look like "COM X Incoming"

Remember what number is after COM. Close all windows, making sure you hit OK or Apply where you have to.

5)Open Active Sync on your PC. Hit File, Connection Settings. Enable the first tick, and select the COM port you had to remember in the previous step. Hit OK

6)Open Active Sync on your Jam. Choose Tools, Connect Via Bluetooth.

---

Hope this is helpful!

Regards,

Arto.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HyperMalac:
If the PAN setup succesful, then click on the ActiveSync icon in the Bluesoleil "Bluetotth Manager" on the JAM.

I think now you surf the net from the PPC.

No i didnt get bootloop...its just fail on odin...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffrhn:
Well to calibrate you need to downgrade. Btw, hongkong/chinese firmware, even if you don't have any problems such as imei lost or baseband lost now, you are more likely to get it later. When you flash other firmware, you'll notice problems mentioned earlier and the only way to get your imei back is by flashing hongkong firmware. In other words, you'll be stuck with that firmware. This actually happens to my friend's phone.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndandau98:

My wife and I both have Nexus 5s and got access to the KitKat update today. Mine worked fine, hers got stuck at "Updating Apps" for about 4 hours before we turned it off. Now when it boots up it gets stuck at the circles animation and it just keeps going, but never boots up. I've tried booting into recovery mode and I see a "No command" screen.

It feels like I need to download KitKat on my PC and install it via USB or something. What do you guys recommend??

EDIT: WIFI ONLY - Not the LTE Version!

Title says it all. Hope this saves someone hours of searching for it like I did before giving up and pulling it from the stock JSS15R image. I know we should all make backups but life happens. This is for all of you [like myself] who found you could not upgrade to Stock 4.4 because of changes to your build.prop file.

In my case I forgot to uninstall a custom framework I had installed on a stock 4.3 image [root but stock recovery] and the 4.4 OTA failed. I never got another prompt to try again from Google so after removing the framework I downloaded the image manually and tried to install it through ADB. Again it failed this time telling me the file build.prop had the wrong checksum. The framework had restored the build.prop but the file checksum was off. The one below was pulled from the original stock image using ext4_unpack. I copied it to my system folder over the "original" and ran the update again. Worked like a charm.

If you run into the same issues try the stock file above. We really should just start a repository for these stock build.prop files.
