[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
I called "blind dev"...

...and if you guys take a look at this post "[ROM]AOSP 4.4.1 From Sony - by Percy_g2", his thread has been closed but he posted the right .img files and i was able to flash and to get android 4.4.1 on my Xperia L C2105...on this thread compared with Percy`s thread first time we got links and that links was down, after that people complain and the links has been removed ... and the situation is still blurry...on all this time we got other threads like "[ROM] [XPERIA L] (4.2.2) KitKat AOSP Pureness (K.A.P) 1.4.5 (UPDATE GOOGLE SEARCH TO FIX HOME)" - by XperiaPlaystation which is good enough just the KitKat has been ported on 4.2.2 and is good enough (i tried already), another thread is "[BETA][4.4.2][14-12-2013] AOSPA 4.0 Beta [UNOFFICIAL] - by dj2tusk - posted on Xperia L Original Android Development section" and is based on 4.4.2 but with some malfunctions, as the OP there says " None of the PA features (including HALO) have been included yet" and yes is just Beta version and have some glitches but i am pretty sure they will fix it.

And now Mr. OP of this thread i am curious if your ROM will be better then what is already available for us in other threads, maybe you can fix Bluetooth as well Internal Storage , Some FC when you go deep in some settings, and maybe you will port some options from our original ROM on 4.4.2, . Until then for me this thread is just blurry, when it will be ready i will try your work as well!

Good Luck!

Hey Bro I didn't mean to tell u anything bad, I know less than you and you may have got to kmow something wrong and that's good that you are reporting problems, but just be calm and see that you (unknowingly) don't tell the OP something bad , that will make him feel bad. :)

So let's wait and help him make the perfect ROM after he releases it . :)
[Sony Xperia L] subha7082:
I appreciate every reply

I am a noob too.and busy with too many other works. I know what is updater script but dont know how to make proper updater script.so i used it from gapps.. but here we have another way to do it without updater script my next build will be in ext4 format.that means i dont need updater script..:D ;) ;) ;) . it coming with some new things (e.g. moded camera libs, moded sound libs,display enhanches...etc) and in a new thread. Wait and be kind with me as i told before..I am also a learner

I appreciate every reply(good ,bad does'nt matter for me) :D:D:D

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loachh:
The issue cames at Tuesday or maybe Wednesday(not very sure), the 3G(WCDMA) connection lost, I've checked APN, mobile data switch, data roaming, get nothing. Before that it works perfectly. It just happened.

As u may see, at *#*#4636#*#*, UMTS actived, and all my sms, calls are working fine too, but GPRS was always "Disconnected". even when I insert another 3G sim from my friend, and of course I've tried my sim on others phone, 3g works fine. ThenI had try my old 2G sim card, it works fine too(both mobile data and sms), it feels like just 3G network has been isolated on my phone, no sent no received. I've set the "WCDMA only" or "WCDMA preferred", nothing changed.

I've factory reset or wipe everything or update to 4.4.2 or downgrade to 4.4.0 several times, nothing changed, won't get "3G" or "H+" next signal bar.

I've found somebody in China has these issue, I'm in China too

:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Model: LGD820 White 32GB(US)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
That shows you are on China Unicom but do they support 2G only? When you switch to that (not using 4636, just normal Mobile Networks switcher) does it show up with EDGE connection?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loachh:
Nope, no "E" icon appear too, but with my another old sim, "E" Edge works fine, I guess my new sim card could only access network through 3G
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loachh:
I got "China Unicom was upgrade their base station for 4G network build these days" from one of my friends works in China Unicom, so this was just the reason of lost of 3G. And these was not the only, LG G2 (Ver. HongKong) got the same issue in some city of Hunan China.

But as I know most phone(ver. US or UK or Pacific Asia) had no issue like this.

So is there anyone could offering me some advice to conquer this issue? About baseband? Anyway could lemme capture the signal or mobile data handshake packet or something like this? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuangYao:
i m also in Hunan China,and my D820 no 3G,similar with you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwreck420:
me too in us

sprint 3g in US (richmond va) happens to me all the time, especially when im at work, and it seems to do it under heavy data load... twitter, facebook, etc
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekka00:
Has your friend said when this will be fixed? I am in Changsha, Hunan and I just got back here from the states two days ago. When I landed in Beijing...great data signals. The I landed back in Changsha...no data. Just my luck that I get pretty much the only phone that doesn't work in my city. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for this post to BTW since it seems everyone else is arguing with me. I just want to know when this will be returned back to normal in Hunan or any way to fix this issue?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wergin:
In my Phone N5 3g is working very will..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loachh:
As I known from several Chinese forum it has already been fixed in Changsha (by China unicom of course ), but I'm in zhuzhou (a city next to Changsha ). Here's some ways I discovered may works for u.

Turn the mobile data on/set apn of course, get in the phone information page through the info code (in case u dunno, dial *#*#4636#*#* at your dial pad page ). Switch the preferred network type to any type other than GSM only, let the signals lost, then switch back to GSM only, wait a while(10 sec). Did the E or G icons appeared next to your signal bars?

Yes? Congress dude, u found a working station, wait a while then switch back to WCDMA prefer or WCDMA only whatever u like. H or H+ would came out!!!!! And then walk around, now u can go anywhere u want.

If it's not came out then f*#king the station cuz it's just the one which "block" your phone (not your phone issue I promise, I bought the second Nexus 5 because I THOUGHT IT'S MY F#*KING PHONE WITH F*#KING ISSUES !!!!!!!!!!!!). Now go somewhere else and try again to find the "right " station.

PS: As long as u get online & never switch off the data then u could be online like 12 hours wherever u are (in service area of course )even roaming to "blocking station" till carrier reset u (regularly )

PSPS :I've found like 7 working station in zhuzhou, one of them was available to connected 17 floors above where I'm working. It sucks!!!

If u willing to chat pm me with your hangouts or something u wanna to say cuz it will notification on my phone

Hello everyone,

I just installed cyanogenmod 10.2 stable rom in my skyrocket. After install mobile was booted but when I gave reboot that phone not showing anything after showing samsung logo :( . Any idea ? Used TWRP 2.6.3.0 touch recovery for install that Rom. Please help me. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ilLuminatriXkill:
well try to superwipe and install again..happend to me to and it fixed it..oh and for the future use CWM with CM ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vpxf:
Sounds like the standard recovery issue but yours should be new enough. As mentioned, do a full wipe, if that doesn't work do another and try flashing using cwm. I haven't had a single issue with 10.2 yet, good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] southygov:
I think twrp 2.6.1.0 has worked for some people or use cwm(philz I think) and flash from there. After that switch back to twrp 2.6.3.0.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, this app will permit control of the flashlight on your Universal as a torch.

It may work on the Wizard and Apache. Please test and report.

This software is semi-commercial.

This means, if you like it and use it, please make a donation on my webpage. I recommend a few pounds.

Donations will go towards future developments. I really need to buy a copy of IDA Pro, which will cost several hundred Euro, and for a hobby, that's too much for me :) And as you may know, I hope that I won't be the only one to benefit if I can get hold of this program.

The app is currently around 100k. Most of that is the graphics. I will release a lighter version shortly without the graphics if required.

The technique for controlling the torch is very simple - there is a flashlight export in the htccamera*.dll used by the camera.

I don't use this method myself, but it should make it easy to integrate this feature into your own applications.

This kind of programming is made possible with a program like IDA Pro, so please, remember to donate to facilitate future developments :wink:

On my website

HTC Wizard

Qtek 9100

ROM: 1.1.7.5 (yep, haven't taken the splash yet)

ExtROM: 1.1.7.105

- Does not turn on camera flashlight - d'oh :)

- Window opens 'off-center' making its right-most border be out of view

- Window has some painting issues (e.g. blinks colored graphics before being painted over by the grey graphics with many actions)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] simon_darley:
works fine on mine.

I didn't need nor use all the bells n whistles, just pres button torch on, press again, torch off.

me, simple needs. need satisfied.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scotjen1:
VJ you are truly great, excellent app (will be making a donation for this tomorrow payday lol)

I have installed on universal with hardware key app and program does work wonders long press on then release off but when I give a short press the torch does come on but if I give a short press again am I correct in thinking the torch should go off again well on my universal it doesen't it just flashes and then the torch still stays on I have to then hold the button down for the torch to turn on and then release and it will then go off

hope this makes sense

keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rick GM:
Vijay

This is great - I love your $1000 torch reference - non PDA enthusiasts just don' get it !!

Anyway;

It works on my SPV M5000 but only if the clam is open. It would be great if you could get it to work closed.

Some observations;

1 Assign VJC On either to button or screen and torch is on with clam open, off with clam closed. Back on with clam open.

2 Assign VJC HW to Backlight button, clam open, press button and hold light on until button released. Press button and let go, light stays on. Press button for off and light blinks off but comes straight back on. Press and hold turns it off. However, on first use after device is turned on, the press again for off (without holding)works. Similarly if you close the clam (which turns the light off) open it again (which turns it on) and then press off (without holding) it turns off.

Hope this is of some use (if it makes any sense).

only screen off option works

:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ei99070:
Vijay, excellent work!!!!!!

I miself have tried to find such export on htccamera, but with no success! If possible, please post the export here for the comunity!

In other hand, I think that the hardwarekeys cab file you made has an error (at least it shows up on my exec): there's a missing " on the start of the paths (check the registry keys on the cab file and on the machine registry).

Hope you don't mind, I'll post links for your program on a portuguese forum (PocketPT.net) so that more and more people can use this magnificent program! And yes, i'll make a donation tomorrow, I promiss ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cr2:
Vijay,

can you post the source code for "non-gui" part ?

I'm a strong believer in the "such technical information

wants to be free", as you can see from the Universal

wiki :)

£5 - good for a few pints - is on its way!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
ZeBoxx - I got bored of doing the GUI work, I'm really not going to bother in future. I think I have an unnecessary paint call when moving, have to check. But Mrs Vijay555 wanted to watch Chicken Little, so I just got it out as is...

I only use VGA, but will try to get it to center automatically. I have to also get it to center on screen rotation. It's on my list.

nolovelust: I'll make a correction a little later to fix it for the wizard...

Rick GM: clam control is possible to a degree. I have an interim solution, but wanted to get "no bells and whistles" out first, so to speak. Clam control is universal specific so will try to implement that by device ID shortly.

scotjen1: press and hold the flame to enable the torch. Press the lock to permit torch toggling. It will stay on until you switch it off. Or use the command line.

ei99070: post links anywhere you wish.

The reg key cab is exported from my Universal. Might be a problem, anyone else tried it? This is what I imported:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C8]
"BtnWnd"=dword:00000000
"Default"=""\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\vijay555\VJCandela\VJCandela HW.lnk""
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Icon"="\windows\Camera.exe, 0"
"Name"="Button Light"
"ResetCmd"=""\Windows\AppButtons\Camera.lnk""
"WndCls"=""

Anyone who wants to know the active code:

void fn_FlashMode(int Mode_int)
{
HANDLE CamHandle;

//1=on
//2=off
//DWORD FlashMode=1;

//open camera
CamHandle = CreateFile(TEXT("CIF1:"), GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, 3, 0, NULL);

//device io (device specific)
DWORD a=0x90002024;

ret=DeviceIoControl(CamHandle, a, LPVOID(&Mode_int), sizeof(Mode_int), 0, NULL, NULL, NULL);

CloseHandle(CamHandle);
}

Very easy to implement, but the device IO is important and is derived from a htccamera*.dll variety of files. This takes some tracking down, without a full ROM dump :(

If possible, I'll try to work on other models of phones when I get a bit of time.

Many thanks to all who tried it.

:( not working on k-jam i.e.wizard

Hi vijay555...

I'd first like to send out a big thanks to all your efforts with this development. I guess it'll only work on the universal, i've tested it on my k-jam but with no luck, doesn't start anything.

I though I 'd let you know and maybe, just maybe there can be a way around this.

Thanks.

Regards...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheBlasphemer:
Erm :o

Why on earth are you communicating with the driver directly?!

HTCCamera1.dll exports everything you need!

Could anyone with a non-universal device check to see if the attached app *does* work?

It should turn on the flashlight, show a messagebox, and once you click OK turn off the flashlight...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cr2:
Driver? I have traced it down to the ASIC3 GPIOA10 bit :lol:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coeptum:
Doesn't work on my Wizard (SPV M3000) because HTCCamera1.dll is not found.

I just found HtcCameraUtility.dll in \Windows
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
TheBlasphemer: there is method in my madness. I'm communicating with the driver directly because, from my investigations, different ROMs are exporting using different support dlls (eg the wizard doesn't have HTCCamera1.dll).

Communicating directly with the driver seeks to account for that (but you need to rename the driver name). However, I believe the wizard and Apache are using the same driverIO control from reversing their roms.

The code is simple, so anyone should be able to locate their support dll and mod it for any hardware.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ei99070:
Well, after instaling the hardware key cab on my Universal it didn't work; checking the registry and then the cab with WinCE CAB Manager, it showd that the path to the link on the start menu missed the starting " to combine with the ending one!

Maybe that's just me, I don't know, but still I reported it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheBlasphemer:
Something interesting, there are 4 other light-modes.

1 on

2 off

3 full power (and backlight off) - maximum time of 400ms

4 off

5 ?

6 ?

Note that after setting power to 3, you must set power to 4. If you set mode 3, and forget mode 4, mode 3 will not work untill you have set mode 4.

To use the flashlight without using all sorts of filthy driver calls, use the following code: (C++)

typedef int (__stdcall *CAMINIT)(DWORD *dwSomething);
typedef int (__stdcall *CAMDEINIT)();
typedef int (__stdcall *CAMFLASH)(DWORD dwMode);

HMODULE hCamera=LoadLibrary(TEXT("HTCCamera1.dll"));
if (hCamera) {
CAMINIT Camera_Init=(CAMINIT)GetProcAddress(hCamera,TEXT("Camera_Init"));
CAMDEINIT Camera_Deinit=(CAMDEINIT)GetProcAddress(hCamera,TEXT("Camera_Deinit"));
CAMFLASH Camera_FlashLight=(CAMFLASH)GetProcAddress(hCamera,TEXT("Camera_FlashLight"));
if (Camera_Init && Camera_Deinit && Camera_FlashLight) {
DWORD dwOne=1;
Camera_Init(&dwOne);
Camera_FlashLight(1);
Camera_Deinit();
} else MessageBox(NULL,TEXT("Can't find appropriate functions in HTCCamera1.dll"),TEXT("Blah"),MB_OK);
FreeLibrary(hCamera);
} else MessageBox(NULL,TEXT("Can't load HTCCamera1.dll"),TEXT("Blah"),MB_OK);

Hey

Nice one Vijay! Great App, expect some cash to start flowing into that Paypal account of yours.

The App is great, but can you release a version with no GUI? No offence, but I hate how the GUI pops up everytime I press the hardware key, especially as its not centred on our screens (yours is though, you're in true VGA?)

Nice work. Keep it up!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moghisi101:
Hey

I have uploaded an updated CAB file for VJ Candela. It automatically adds Hardware Button support. Just Press the "Flash Light" Button for it to switch on, and let go and it'll switch off. I'm waiting on VJ's reply to see if he will release no GUI version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheBlasphemer:
I really hope vijay won't mind, but here's a GUI free version.

This just turns the light on and keeps it on till the backlight key is released.

Source is included.

As I don't have any place to put donations yet, and I'm not really in need of money anyway, I suggest that if you'd like to support this app, donate to vijay555 ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZeBoxx:
I don't know about the Universal, but on a Wizard ( any go on that one yet? ;) ) if you turn on the flashlight, it's regularly on. If you then actually take the shot, the flashlight goes extra-bright for a fraction of a second, and then completely off. Might be what's used there?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, I've re-uploaded the cab, included VJCandelaLite and fixing some of the shortcuts.

VJCandelaLite has basically the same options as the original

Command Line Options
-on Enable Torch
-off Disable Torch
-about Show about box

Otherwise, launching it directly will put it in hardware key mode. You'll get a tiny GUI to tell you it's on.

I suggest you use moghisi101's cab to enable the hardware key patch (depending on your device) and then install this. Or otherwise just assign it to any hardware key you choose. It will stay on until you release the key.

Night night all.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moghisi101:
Hey Guys...

Sorry, I put that CAB File together so fast I didn't even test it. Looks like I made a mistake!!

I am now uploading a new one that works for sure!!

Please note this has only been tested on an Universal, but this should work on other devices as well... I think!?

Bye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
moghisi101: good stuff, many thanks! I was going to do a seperate cab myself, but some users were already getting confused by the extra HWKey cab I had offered and foobarred up, so I thought I'd just leave it simple, and leave implementation to users...

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] limsy:
k.. noob here... so all i need to do is:

1. download VJ Candela Lite.cab packed by moghisi101

2. copy it to my Exec ... install it... (but not in storage card)

3. holding down the light button to on... release to off?

errr.. i think i messed up my button assignment for the light button.. it is pointing to Contacts now.. ehehe... *blush* err... how do I assign it back to light? I cant find such an option.

and.. thanks VJ ... i only hope i can quickly understand all these stuff so I can enjoy all the useful apps you have made available.

Thank you for your time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zsilak:
what's the light button on the kjam?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
zsilak: this is basically for the Universal right now. I haven't had a Wizard/Kjam in my hands yet, so will have to have another look at it. The code is available for anyone who can get around to it before I can.

Regarding the button - the Universal has a dedicated and fairly useless backlight button, so there's a registry hack that permits use of this in the normal way, and thus it's logical to use it with a torch app.

limsy - try using VJCandelaLite. Assign it to a hardware button in Start > Settings > Buttons.

Choose the button you want to edit, and then choose the app you want to assign to it from the drop down list at the bottom of the screen.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheBlasphemer:
Yep, same on the Universal, and that is indeed what it's doing while flashing :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moghisi101:
Hey

Can I have some feedback on that CAB file? Is it working? Is it even useful?

Also, on a side note, my Universal tries to connect to this address during a hard reset. WTF is it doing?

http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/pu10-1.0.xml

I presume it's a HTC website (something to to with MMS?), and it creates a lot of settings...

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
moghisi101: I'm afraid I've not tried the cab. but if it's VJCandelaLite distilled into one cab, it's useful to me :) I don't like VJCandelaFatBoy myself :(
