[Hardware Hacking General] XingLingHacker:
Since I have found many people with problems in "accessing" some android phones from China, I post here few steps I did to succesfully root my ZTE U791 Android 2.3.5 with ADB (Android Debug Bridge) from SDK tools:

1. connect your ZTE device (or any cheap Xling-Ling pda) to the pc (Ubuntu os) with "usb debugging" enabled.

2. run "lsusb" in the terminal shell to find the idVendor: the first 4 numbers #### in the ID field. For exemple, if ID 1782:5d04 Spreadtrum Communications Inc., the idVendor is 1782,

3. download and extract SDK tools from Developer Android website,

4. edit/create the file adb_usb.ini running "echo 0x1782 >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini", i.e, insert a line in the adb_usb.ini file with your idVendor device as 0x####.

5. go to the platform-tools directory in your "SDK tools" directory.

6. run "sudo ./adb kill-server" and "sudo ./adb start-server" just after.

7. run "./adb devices" and you will see a message output like this:

List of devices attached

19761202	device

Now you are able to access your zte u791 xing-ling device with ADB commands.

I wish this procedure works for any xing-ling device.

Nice little guide. Just thought I'd add that this looks like it will work on any Linux distro.
[Hardware Hacking General] p1000haha:
well done!
[Hardware Hacking General] XingLingHacker:
Very nice! I wish you could now root your device with some root-break tool. In my case, I can not.

Can someone give me the files/apk for the game launcher. i want to put it onto my Much i5 but my Xperia Play died. Has anyone done this before if so can you also give me the link to that.

I didn't know where to post this so if this is wrong sorry in advance.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
The game launchers will work on PlayStation certified devices only so if you want it on a non Sony phone your gunna probly have to do a bunch of build.prop tweaks and probably more then you will care for
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane5125:
I still wanna try but do you think it would be possible to tweak the apk. Instead of the phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane5125:
Can anyone get me these files. I would really appreciate it. Their download link doesn't work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kino Ng:
Here, with included PSP themes. But the game launcher apk is for GB though...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane5125:
Thanks man I appreciate it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kino Ng:
No problem. So, how is MUCH i5 experience?

Any special apk goodies that can be ported out, especially its Home Launcher?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane5125:
The phone is amazing. The home launcher is decent. Its like the iPhone sort of with no app draw. Other than that its pure android pretty much. If you want I can post the files for the launcher. I do like it cause of the PS vita look.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane5125:
I couldn't get it to work I did everything and I got the wallpapers to work but the suite still doesnt . any ideas?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kino Ng:
Well, too bad I searched all over the place and found nothing good except the fact that it needs Sony stock rom to use by xda source.

Do you seriously need this so much? Actually I like its UI, but cant figure how to maximize its usage like u can manually add(XPlay optimize) any apps into that launcher, so I gave it up and used Snapdragon Game Launcher instead. Now using Smart Launcher, it sorts things out nicely so I don't need game launcher anymore. However, the PS Vita-like of your MUCH i5 is very nice indeed!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane5125:
No i don't need it. I was just curious, cause I get bored of launchers very quick I wasn't fond of the Snapdragon Game Launcher, but Smart Launcher is one of my favorites. I'll post the files tomorrow for the MUCH i5's launcher so you can try it for yourself. :good:

i really like the xmb launcher but i wish it was more like smart launcher and orginized everything.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kino Ng:
Alright, thanks in advance. :good:

Yeah, that xmb launcher'd been sleeping in its alpha version quite a long time ago and is still SLEEPING now.. sigh~
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane5125:
Yeah same here. Its a pity this could have been a top selling launcher for anyphone if he focused on it and put it on google play.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insane5125:
heres the apk for the MUCH launcher. it was very unstable on my htc one x when i tested it but who knows. also there is going to be a page of apps that arn't on your phone just one by one remove them then pinch the screen in and delete the page. its some kind of ad page for MUCH's Market.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Earthbrain:
I just got my T-Mobile Note 3. However, I am with AT&T network. I was able to unlock the phone to use it with AT&T network. I also change the APN to get LTE/4G on AT&T network so my internet connection is good. However, when I log into my Play Store account, I cannot do any search on the apps or download/buy any apps. It just give me a continuous loading loop without any results.

Is there a solution to this?

Thanks.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lincruste:
Hello,

I did something very wrong, I tried to change my kernel from Lupus to DoomKernel and picked the wrong one, the Xperia ARC one instead of Xperia Play (v22 instead of v14).

I now have a half-dead phone, stuck with a blank screen at boot, no recovery, no fastboot (fastboot keeps waiting for the device).

The only thing I can do is opening it through ADB shell and see the filesystem. It at least partially seems ok, since I managed to uname the phone and see my kernel version.

I saw matt4321's thread and thought it could help me to flash a new recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25052229

But unfortunatly, the linked online recovery build tool always *crashes* before getting the job done:

http://builder.clockworkmod.com/

My question is: can anyone help me to get a working (and ADB flashable) ClockWorkMod "recovery.img" file in order to mend my phone please ? Any working link would be greatly appreciated !

And please forgive my bad english (be assured I do my best to be understandable !).

Regards
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Can you enter flash mode? Hold back while plugging usb. If flashtool report that you are in flash mode then just flash stock firmware (ftf) file. That should fix all errors
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lincruste:
Thanks for your very fast answer. I'm now downloading Flash Tool on SonyMobile website. Will I loose my root access if it ever works ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
That will also work (at least at part to flash stock firmware)

But i mean flashtool from http://flashtool.net

But please, while you are downloading it, read sticky threads in general and q&a section.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lincruste:
Thank you again for the link. I see that Sony flash tool is now called Emma, so it's dead end here.

Sorry about that, I did not mean to be an ass.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Emma is used to flash stock firmware on Xperia phones with unlocked bootloader, it is not dead end.

With Flashtool is just much easier

Hello,

I've been doing some research on the many, many different routes I can go with Android development, and I'm hoping someone might be able to help narrow down my choice. My experience is currently web related, PHP/HTML/CSS, with knowledge of intermediate Javascript, etc.

I'd like to create a very similar game to Football Manager, but less ambitious. For those that aren't aware, it's a simulation game where you're the manager of a soccer team.

My ambition is to keep it very simple, dumbed down. No need to watch the games, pretty much all text with simple graphics for some things.

My issue is, trying to find a place to start. There's literally a lot of different routes, and I'm overwhelmed. Do I use HTML5? Java? One of the programs like Unity, Construct? PhoneGap?

For my specific game, and idea, what would be your best suggestion on what to use?

Thanks in advance.
[Frameworks] Mnill:
you can try CocoonJS. it's easy.

It's html5 fraemwork.

CocoonJS is a technology that helps HTML5 developers publish their web-based games and apps in the most important mobile and web stores with no code changes and with all the advantages of native development.

Using CocoonJS, a single code base is enough to publish a game or app natively on more than 10 stores. Best of all, with no installations thanks to our cloud-based platform.

HTML5 is finally ready for cross-platform app and game development!

But now it's in open beta.

All free, but all Extension only for premium users.

[Frameworks] pyko:
The answer is "it depends" :)

A couple of questions...

1. Will it only be for Android? or are you also planning to push it to iPhone?

2. Will the interface be more like a app (eg. gmail, calendar, utility apps) or more like a game (immersive, completely different interface) ?

3. Will there be a lot of interaction? or mainly consuming information?
[Frameworks] squadz:
1. Android to start, possibility of iPhone in the future.

2. Straight forward, more like an app, nothing too pretty, more statistical.

3. Mainly consuming information, lots of behind the scenes work.
[Frameworks] pyko:
In that case, I would say go for a mobile friendly web-based app, as opposed to a native app. So this would mean HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

Reasons are:

You want to eventually be on both Android and iPhone. Since you're app is more "app like" if you go native, you'll essentially have to write 2 separate apps to have good user experience (Android and iPhone have vastly different experience guidelines). WIth a mobile-friendly website, you'll satisfy both with one code base :)

You've already got experience in HTML/CSS/Javascript - definitely a big win!

Since your app will mainly be information consumption, it sounds suitable for a website.

When done correctly, a mobile-friendly website can still be a great experience to use

A couple of things to be aware of...

Don't try and imitate the native UI on the mobile-friendly website. It is a website, not a native app! Users are fine if it doesn't behave like a native app (afterall, they would've just reached your site via the browser). In fact, if you make the website behave sorta like a native app, it might confuse users more. Best direction is to have a good, solid ,easy to use and understand UI. (Be wary of the Uncanny Valley)

Unlike laptops/desktops, mobiles generally are less powerful, so you'll need/want to optimise performance. Make sure the website runs fast & smoothly (ie. optimise resource downloading, minimise/optimise javascript animations etc). Be aware that most phones have a 'click delay' (to detect swipes/drags etc) so you'll want to use something like fastclick to eliminate this.

Remember that on a mobile device your user will be using their fingers (and not a mouse) to click/interact with your website. So make sure tap targets are nice and large.

Finally .... test on a real device! Chrome dev tools etc to simulate phone screens is great for dev, but actually using your website on a mobile will reveal many design decisions that might need to change.

This might sound like a lot to think about, but I think given what you've said about your idea, in the long run, it will be more time efficient. (there is probably a equally long list of things to think about when developing a native app!)

Good luck with your idea :)
[Frameworks] squadz:
Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate all the information. One last question on my end.

I'm assuming the development tools would be the same as a usual website (ie. In my case, Dreamweaver?). If you're familiar with Game Dev Tycoon, would a layout /similar style of interaction game b, e capable using only Dreamweaver, or is something else needed?
[Frameworks] pyko:
No worries, more than happy to help :)

I would actually suggest not using Dreamweaver as for the mobile website, you'll really want to be as lean and minimal as possible. From what I recall, Dreamweaver can add quite a bit of 'cruft' to your code.

I would suggest a standard text editor (recommend: http://www.sublimetext.com/) as that would allow you to have complete control over your code, what you include/exclude, what goes where etc. The mobile site will require that extra attention as you really want to make sure it runs smoothly on the mobile.

In terms of quick dev iteration (making sure the site looks correct) you can use the chrome developer tools (https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/) which allows you to fake the user agent/screen size etc on your browser. Though nothing beats occasional testing on a real device - just to make sure you're on the right track.

Had a look at Game Dev Tycoon and I would say for something as involved as that (lots of interaction, animations etc) it's better to go down the native route.

Videocon A45 - Android Phone Status Bar missing and Phone keeps Restarting itself.

My Videocon A45 Android v2.3.5 Phone keeps restarting on itself.... :(

Also, when it starts "sometimes", it shows (com.systemui process error) and asks to force close ..... i see that the status/ notification bar on top which displays your battery, connections, usb connections n all, is missing.

I have Rooted my device.

This problem started soon as i was using root uninstal software and i was backing up some apps and uninstalling them to free up some internal storage...

but i guess i have uninstalled some, which i shouldnt have...:confused:

Please tell me if you need some more information to solve this problem....

Please please help me out with this :( Thank You...
[General Questions and Answers] parkourkarthik:
I think you uninstalled some system apps. May be the systemUI.apk :eek:, it is the one which is responsible for the status bar.

Hit thanks rather than typing it ;) now Free
[General Questions and Answers] AndroidifiedPratik:
what can I do to fix this....Please tell me.... Thank you for replying...!
[General Questions and Answers] parkourkarthik:
You should have had a backup of your systemUI else at least a nandroid backup.

It seems you don't have a Custom recovery like cwm.

Also you don't have the systemUI backup i think.

Other choices as you don't have backups-

Search for your device's CWM try to flash it & then find a custom Rom for your device and flash it.

Another way is that ask some of the members with the same device as yours for the systemUI.apk and push it into the /system/app either with the help of adb or CWM through aroma filemanager.:thumbup:

3. it is there, also i have backed it up using Root Uninstaller software to my SD card....!

4. It shows on my SD Card..

[General Questions and Answers] parkourkarthik:
Any methods that i know couldn't help you AFAIK.

Coz there are ways complex for you to get into right now. (such as taking logcat through adb, finding & debugging the problem)

Better try to give it in service center, and don't say that you rooted the device.;)

They can easily flash a fresh firmware for your device.

All the best:thumbup:

[General Questions and Answers] AndroidifiedPratik:
1. The service center people will directly know that the device is rooted, coz as i said my device starts up and functions normally for sometime, and i can see root apps on the menu, superSU, RootUninstaller , Titanium Backup and all... and I would like to keep it as last option to go to service center, they would take too long to solve this...

2. Do you suggest Uninstalling these root apps first....?

3. Do you suggest Unrooting my device before i take it to the service center...? coz i had read that they wont know that it was rooted then..

4. How do you take logcat through android debugging , find & debug the problem-- What do i require to do this, i mean the required softwares n all....

5. i also have the com.android.acore unexpectedly closed error... :( i cannot access call functions as well....

6. What are the probable causes for this problem........ ? Thank you..!
[General Questions and Answers] parkourkarthik:
2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Your device's usb drivers, adt or just the platform tool folder & Time to research.

6. I can't say for sure:(

1. Please provide download links for Android Developement Tool, is it universal for all devices or like clockworkmod coz i coudnt find CWM for my device.

2. What do you mean by, "just the platform tool folder", what is it??

3. Actually, i want to try fix this myself, i am ready to spend time on this, and not willing to go to service center as i said above, they take like for ever...

4. Thank you...!
[General Questions and Answers] parkourkarthik:

Hi,

I have a Problem with my Note 3 that I already had on my Note 2, but hoped that the new device and Android 4.3 would solve the Problem for me, but the Problem is still there.

It is a Problem with everything that is a widget (clock-widget, battery widget etc.).

Widgets are freezing at irreular times, so no one could predict if and when it would hapen the next time, but when the widget(s) are frozen, they Show incorrect values for time and battery-status.

The funny Thing is, that when I rotate my homescreen(s) using "Ultimate Rotation Control" from Google Play

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate

then the widgets update themselves to the correct values,, but still don't continue to run, i.e. they are still frozen.

Now, I don't ask anybody to tell me what could cause the widgets to freeze, but I would be interested if someone knows a tool with which one could find out what Triggers that freeze (I know the exact time at which it happens, since one of the widgets that freeze is a digital clock with seconds-display).

Would be great if someone could help!

Many thanks in advance!
