Alright, As I'm new to the idea of using Command Prompt to unlock a phone, I really need some help: When I try to get the Token for the website to allow the Dev Unlock, It will not load any text in the command window.

I've done it before, But it will not load this time. (I removed the battery, entered fastboot USB, and entered the command line text)

It just says "Waiting for device"

Any idea on what's happening?

It does say, However, My phone is unlocked.

I just tried to install a ROM but it gave a status 7 error, Fixed that, and now I get a Status 6 Error...

I'm really lost, I'm kinda nervous LOL
[Galaxy S II General] sohell:
This is my first how to guide (trying to give a little back to the community). Hope it's useful, or at least used as a reference.

Having recently upgraded my two trusty SGS i9100 phones (Nexus FTW!), I wondered what I could now do with them. I have an old(ish) 720p LCD TV, and wanted to make it smart (that is, have it connect to my media server, connect to BBC iPlayer, YouTube, CatchupTV, etc), but didn't want to connect a computer or buy another media player. I know that the i9100 is more than capable to do all this, and stream at 720p, however, you also need a stock ROM (which is bloated and ugly, IMO ;)) or a ROM that is based on stock, but heavily skinned and lighter.

Here are the steps and links that followed to achieve this.

Assuming that you have a complety STOCK handset:

1) Root your i9100 (adb required)

2) Install ClockWorkMod Recovery (Odin required)

3) Install Chameleon Rom

(It took me about 30 minutes. If you already have a custom recovery, you can just install the Chameleon Rom.)

4) You also need a MHL adaptor

Once the ROM has installed, I set up the ROM, and installed the following apps:

a) Diceplayer - allows me to play MKV files directly from my server (no need for the server to transcode the file)

b) TVCatchup

c) BBC iPlayer

d) ITV Player

e) 4oD

f) Demand5

g) Orbot - might be useful for international channels, but I have zero experience, so don't ask any questions here.

That's it. Using the mobile, I can now watch my media, iPlayer, and almost-live broadcasts all via my phone on my TV. Although, it is a hassle changing the channels...

Interested to know if this is the best way to use an i9100 as a media steamer/player, and if not, what suggestions are recommended.

Update Feb 2nd 2014 - XBMC installed

So, I wanted more... And, I was curious about how XBMC would work on the i9100 and what other channels I could access

1) on your mobile, visit http://xbmc.org/download/ - download and install the latest version of XBMC (I used xbmc-12.3-Frodo-armeabi-v7a.apk)

2) run xbmc at least once, and allow it to set itself up

3) on your mobile, visit http://code.google.com/p/navi-x/downloads/list and click on the latest version of Navi-X to download the zip file (I used Navi-X-v37_8.zip) - make sure you know where the zip is located on your mobile device

4) run XBMC and click on System > Addons > Install from Zip file. Select the location on your mobile where you saved Navi-X and select the zip file

5) exit to the main screen of XBMC and check out "Programs"... Navi-X should be installed there. Make sure you always use the latest version of Navi-X and the latest "stable" version of XBMC

(To update Navi-X, simply grab the latest copy on http://code.google.com/p/navi-x/downloads/list)

This is working very well for me, and has added a new dimension to what I can now do with my old i9100

If this all remains stable, I may just start looking into adding video gaming apps as well...

[Galaxy S II General] zavorrax:
Fine!

Do you know if there is any way to connect USB OTG together with MHL... I would like to watch videos from an external (powered) USB HD

Z
[Galaxy S II General] sohell:
Hmm.. no, I don't know how you would do that... you're suggesting a "daisy chain"? Phone > OTG Drive > MHL > Power

At the minute, I stream from my server, or transfer the media onto the phone. Hope you find a solution, and please share it here.
[Galaxy S II General] sohell:
Does anyone know if there is a way/app to control one of my i9100 using my N5 or N7?

I haven't seen anything, but thought I'd ask.

I would like to something like a "remote desktop", but using an Android device to control a second Android device.

When I turn it on, the google logo and the lock come up, then go away shortly, replaced by a bootloop with no boot animation.

Recovery mode will not activate. I think it corrupted or something.

[General Questions and Answers] eco_bach:
After quite a bit of googling my conclusion is that to run any Android device 'properly' in kiosk mode is not a straightforward process.

As a new user I can't post direct links yet but the most complete solution I found was for the Nexus 7 tablet on thebitplague.wordpress.com

Most people simply suggest building a "launcher" app and making it full screen which I believe is an insufficient answer.

Can any android experts share their preferred method for accomplishing this on a Nexus 5?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzaslam:
This is something that I have been trying to do now and then - and is something that should be straightforward - but doesn't appear to be.

In Resco Explorer, if I right-click a folder and then select 'properties' - the properties dialog appears and shows 'Read-only', 'Hidden', 'System' and 'Archive' attributes set to a '-'

If I change the 'Hidden' attribute to a tick and then click apply - I would expect the changes to persist and the folder to then be hidden. I do have 'Hide Folders' ticked under options BTW.

However, the folder is not hidden and on checking the properties again - the attributes are as they were above - each being set to '-'.

I dont understand this as doing the same with files works as expected. Its just trying to hide folders that seems to be the problem.

Is this just not possible in WM5.0? Anyone any ideas?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mikealder:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
Using explorer, you should be able to make the folder "hidden", i tested it on mine and the folder was hidden from view with normal file explorer.

however, it wasnt hidden from view using resco, even if you tick the box....

I have SPB PP installed to enable the properties option of file explorer, and dont know if its available without SPB.

Is it possible to change the s2 resolution to 768x1280 instead of 480x800?

I used this app: NOMone but it is really buggy.

Also, does it really change the resolution (Better quality?) or just the dpi?

Because on Antutu it showed the changed resolution.

I tested it too

Really buggy and really weird

But why samsung have made s2 with gpu that pushed 480*800pixels to a screen that can show 480*800pixels

The app changes dpi but also it changes resolution...i dont know if its for real but if i set to s3 resolution(16:9 aspect) my s2 screen(4:3 aspect) it leaves some space from borders

Anyway dont use that app it will use you gpu and you will overheat you phone

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychoticdemon:
I recently bought a Micromax Canvas 4 to replace my dead SE Mini Pro, and was wondering if a few things were available in it:

1. Is it possible to reboot a device when it has frozen/hanged? I have faced it once while high multi-tasking and it could only be solved by pulling out the removable battery on the back.

2. For the aforementioned problem, can a shortcut be assigned by tweaking a stock kernel? The nAa kernel for Mini Pro had a shortcut for a hot reboot on anytime (power + home button). If it's possible, can anyone help me out on where to start? I might get something new for the peeps in as well. :P

That's all for now really. I'll add to this if something pops in my mind later. :P Thanks a lot for answering the stupid questions, btw! :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ChiDi9901:
If you want to upgrade to 4.4 or 4.4.2 you need to go back to stock ROM. As long as you have a custom recovery, like TWRP, then after upgrading, you simply flash SuperSU or any other root file you want through the recovery.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
iv noticed you are using ddmd1 - this is a new firmware so try the options below

change your kernel - if it doesnt work keep following instructions below

do you have imei? Dial *#06#

If imei is blank you need to change your kernel or flash the ril fix to contiue using your current kernel

This is because new stock rom firmwares use a kernel with a different ram disk so if you are using a new kernel and old rom or vise versa you will loose imei

try flashing the attachment in cwm with system mounted

as ever make any backups first in case you need to restore

i have all my songs uploaded to play music. i listen to them using my laptop browser and ipad play music app

All my songs are also present on my phone's storage,

when i use the play music app on my android phone, music that are liked,deleted, or added to a play list doesnt appear on my cloud, it doesnt sync to the ipad or my laptop browser. (i'm not a noob, i obviously enabled sync for play music)

i'm thinking this happens because android play music app confuse the duplicate music that exist in my phone and in the cloud.

I need to keep my music in the phones local storage because i dont have fast internet access on mobile data.

How can i make google play music android app to display ONLY online content?

currently the only option is "all music" and "on device"

I've made a tool to activate email (built-in) and start syncing.

Tested only on WM2003, not sure if it would work on WM5.

Usuage: SyncAccount "MailAccount"

Using this, you can activate email, and sync with the push of a single button

makes life easy ;-)

i'm not gonna make any further improvements, as this suits my own needs as is.

Heimiko: I made a similar app in VJPhoneShortcuts a while back. Did you manage to activate syncing even when the current account has been changed, eg, if the user switches to SMS, have you got it to switch back to email before syncing? I got too busy to figure it out at the time :(

V
[General Topics] Heimiko:
Hai vijay555,

I did manage that, yes, even though SMS account is enabled, it will switch to the email account, and start syncing from there on....

I use your VJDialer app, and I wanted to use email in the same sort of way... couldn't find it anywhere, so.. here ya go ;-)
[General Topics] vijay555:
Good stuff. I'll look into it. I've never used my pda for email, but a few guys were asking for this facility.

V
[General Topics] Heimiko:
vijay555:

No need, here's how to:

tmail.exe -Service "MailAccount"

tmail.exe -Sync

call those 2 after each other. Don't use them in a single call, because as soon as you use -Sync, the mail app wont be activated (not brought to the foreground).

so.. 2 * CreateProcess is all that's needed
[General Topics] vijay555:
Nice nice nice!

I was doing it in such a dopey way, as ever.

Is it ok for me to implement this into VJPhoneShortcuts? There's a couple of extensions I want to add, but it's a much neater then the way I was doing...

I'll give you full credit of course :)

V
[General Topics] Heimiko:
Sure... no problem. Cool me being somewhere in those credit lines ;-)

I guess you actualy search for the button on that Doc and send a WM_CLICK to it... ? i was thinking in that direction at first, but then, i knew there had to be a simpler way. If you google for "tmail.exe command line", you'll find some other stuff, as you can see, tmail.exe can already do natively what you do with your phone tools, sending emails, sending sms's, etc. all from command line. (you just need to know how, hehe). But then, you can't ever find this -Sync option... that was trail and error to find out... i tried lots of different keywords, lolz. Weird that its not documented anywhere.

Anyway, use it wisely ;-)
[General Topics] vijay555:
Yes, the original VJPhoneTools were done in the same way through tmail.exe, but I've never used the email so never thought about doing -sync it through the command line. For someone who does everything through the command line, I was so stupid not to think of it :)

Many thanks.

efjay: I'll try to fix the icons shortly. I'm actually just about to throw in a whole load of new features and finally put in WM2003/Wm5 dual compatibility. Heimiko's generous info has given me a reason to finish it, I've been sitting on the almost finished code for so long.

However, it's likely to be only one app, so one icon, but with about 8 functions. So you might have to set up your own icons (if I can find some relevant ones I will). However, have a look at this thread for info on how to set up nice icons etc for your shortcuts.
