Camera Update

Its kewl.

Ok My Verizon XV6600 came in yesterday so i was prompt and impatient and tore it apart , It is the same form factor but it is not a BlueAngel, its a Harrier mainly the difference between the GSM and CDMA model i think.

The Blue Angel Models did not come with a flash, the Harrier did, so if i want that to work im going to have to think of something incredibly intelligent to mod it to work, since where the power connector for the Harrier is on the Blue Angel its ascrew hole that apparently needs the screw in or it wont boot up, or something.

Ok the Camera Module Slid in perfectly to the connector and the Antannae plate from the Harrier works fine. I had to use an exacto and cut open the sim card port from the Harrier backplate to fit on the BlueAngel but it worked fine.

I will take pictures of the 2 units side by side and let you know how it works and the differences.

'Fuzzy_bunny' :shock: :roll: :lol: ?

I don't have any new rear covers at the moment, but do have the camera modules for £20 plus shipping ( £2 UK, £5 ROW) and I'll include a used rear plastic cover with the hole in it for free.

Ok, I received the camera and back today. Installed both. Curretly I am running 1.40.125 precooked ROM from the SX66 standardization project. Is it possible to get the camera working with this ROM? If not what options do I have.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] 3waygeek:
If you add the camera files to the 1.40.125 extrom and modify config.txt accordingly, it should work. You could probably figure it out by comparing the SX66 project ROM to a similar PDA2K version from the FTP site.

I just had to boot it up after i installed the camera, it installed on its own...

Re: SX66 Camera

Were you using the standard Cingular ROM that came with the phone?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nswafford:
I pulled HTC Camera-TuMa.cab out of WM5 BA - TuMa v1.3 and it works!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] fluffcat1:
Sweet. But wouldn't it have been easier just to load a whole new rom? Or is there something in the pre-cooked rom you need specifically?

Richard
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nswafford:
I just loaded the TuMa WM5 rom. Works great. If BT would only work correctly =\

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RIPBAP1999:
Hello all,

Just updated my fiance's s3 to MK3. Didn't know about KNOX, but whatever. I don't think that is the issue. Whenever I updated it, the internal storage is no longer available to view. All of the pictures, music, etc, anything on the internal sd card, it is inaccessible. It's still there, when I view the storage in settings it shows that it has 9.02gb full. When I plug it up to my computer it shows the same. But all of the folders are empty.

This happened previously, before I updated to MK3, when I tried to flash MIUI and CM, but I just reverted back to stock to get access back. I can't revert back to that backup now bc of KNOX.

If anyone can help me get access back to the internal storage, without wiping the entire thing, that would be great.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RIPBAP1999:
I've tried installing a MOAR, through CWM and TWRP, but I still don't get access to internal storage. I still have my 4.1.2 recovery backup on the sd card, if I restore to that from 4.3, will it brick?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Quetzalcoatl:
You will brick DO NOT try that

I see the New SAFEROOT method out on another thread and read through some comments. I am new to rooting and was wondering if simply rooting my s4 device will delete any data. I just need to root my i337 on the latest band to tether. Thanks in advanced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] HORiZUN:
Will not delete any data. SafeRoot is by far the simplest root method for the s4 right now.

[Sony Xperia L] JOYGR:
Any solution for this problem ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919326

As mentioned in the above link, i hv followed every step but still can't get this to work.

1.) Rooted my Xperia L with Rootkit for Xperia on latest firmware 15.3.A.1.12 (stock kernel).Root successful.

2.)Installed latest version of Link2sd, i.e. 3.1.2

3.)Connected my phone to pc as mass storage device

Formatted external 32gb sandisk card with Minitool in two partitions.First one is 20gb, primary, fat32.

Second 10gb, primary, fat32

4.)Disconnected the phone from pc & rebooted it.

5.)Checked the Storage in settings & it was showing only the second partition of my ext. sd card, i.e. 10gb

6.)Ran Link2sd, it asked for Super User permission which i granted with SuperSu

7.)Then it asked for filesystem for the second partition on ext card.i chose fat32.

8.)In next screen Link2sd said it Mount script error. Mount script cannot be created. mount : No such file or directory.

9.)Again i ran that script from left pane of link2sd.It said to reboot the phone which i did.

10.)From then on the phone goes into bootloop whenever i create two partitions in that external card.

I have to delete both partition and format it again as single one and then put it back into phone and it will normally boot.

Anyone successfully transferred apps, games to ext card with link2sd ? Pls guide me.
[Sony Xperia L] iAyush:
If you want to transfer games, GL to SD is the best option available to rooted users to transfer game data to ext.SD Card! You can also transfer apps using that, but it's not recommended. But I believe you must not be having apps that take 4gb+? I have tested GL to SD with my XL - Virtua Tennis, Asphalt 8 all work like charm and occupy no space in my Int.SD Card.
[Sony Xperia L] JOYGR:
thanks .. i'll try that ...

for apps what i should use ? what about foldermount or apps2sd ?
[Sony Xperia L] iAyush:
Did not try, will give a go tomorrow and tell you! Perhaps you should also try.. I had a good experience with GL to SD, so did not try them..Heard of Apps2SD Quiet often, but never Foldermount.
[Sony Xperia L] JOYGR:
ok .. i'll try gl to sd

is there any bug in foldermount ?

if someone solved my link2sd prob, it would have been nice...... if i create a second partition in ext card, the phone goes into bootloop ... i think the mount script can't recognise it during bootup ... is there anyway to clear that mount script ?
[Sony Xperia L] JOYGR:
can anyone atleast guide me how to do this using Terminal ?

1. Install Link2SD, launch so it makes the mounting script.

2. Remove mount scripts from /etc/init.d using terminal in my device.

Code:

cd /etc/init.d ; rm 05mountsd ; rm 11link2sd

3. transform to system app by moving Link2SD from /data/app to /system/app

Code:

mv /data/app/com.buak.Link2SD-1.apk /system/app/com.buak.Link2SD-1.apk ;reboot

Thanks. Tell it for the unlocked bootloader or locked?

It is possible the installation instruction more detailed?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Good work :thumbup: [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] will download in about 12hrs time (free work wifi ftw)

Besides user testing I'll also see if I can help with known bugs (read, unzip see if I can fix and rebuild in kitchen)

Again, thx and congrats again on your contribution :)

Btw.. I've sorted out deodexing and xposed (incl. Setting apk.. and are you using the modified xperia xposed framework?) will be in touch after testing.

Only UL bootloader can install the 290 kernel with RW fix and a recovery to flash from, so by default all rooted/cwm recovery 290 roms are UL until a LB full root solution is found.

[MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] Maybe some xposed hints here - > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589113

My recommended instructions for install are:

(unlock bootloader if locked lol ;))

Flash full 290 ftf of choice via pcc

Fastboot flash boot [MENTION=3806218]ChillyChan[/MENTION] dual-recovery.img kernel

Boot into twrp/cwm recovery and flash BE rom

Flash superuser186 zip (just to be safe)

Clear dalvik/cache

Reboot and enjoy (meaning test for [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION])

Install busybox via play store after first boot :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ps000000:

As I said I had to go out while writing the OP so I'll update it.

Root should work and the latest busybox is included in the rom

Thanks for the comments so, mostly looking for testers etc first - not someone that is doing their first rom flash ;)

[MENTION=5049070]Feodorus 4PDA[/MENTION] I can re-include the FM - this is the fort of thig that is good to know
[MENTION=3767251]iBuzman[/MENTION] that xposed link looks the ticket

Oh just finish installation process without any error

First setup screen bit different than stock one

there are Sony Entertainment Network Log in / Sign up screen

(Stock rom does not show this page)

Continue testing

(I feel smoother scrolling in my home screen than stock rom)

OOPs

My model change to C6802 and

In mobile network setting I lose my LTE Mode
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I remembered that last night that it is from c6802 .

I blame [MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION] for the smother scrolling as it was his build.prop tweaks that I have included

"Sony Entertainment Network Log" haven't looked for that yet to remove it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Excellent! Nice work blue...

That's me!... unfortunately I don't get an orange vest like our real dogs... I'm in the OP's room today.

unfortunately its about to be called off. Police taking over so thats not a good sign for the missing guy. No longer a rescue, now a recovery.

I'll flash BE and see how it goes... be a couple hours until i finish up here..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
that crashes here as well

I wonder if it somethig in build.prop? the last build before those changes was more stable...

/me goes off to learn how to use USB debugging...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
I don't think build prop; did it deodex properly in the kitchen? My guess is something to do with a faulty apk after deodexing - kitchen doesn't officially support 4.3 and api change to 18 may only be "cosmetic". Maybe [MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION] can deodex setting.apk properly via linux? (I only have cygwin and 4.2.2 support on my win8 pc)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I've got kubuntu here so could do it the non kitchen way, but I can't get to the pc today.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ I really should set up dual boot..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I'm deodexing the entire app and framework folders. Will put them into your ROM and see what issues come out... if any... fingers crossed... (give me an hour)

EDIT:

Nope... massive errors. keyboard, NFC, bluetooth... can't have worked properly

Its def a framework issue. I've left my ROM odexed and its having no issues.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
[MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] couple of things I've noticed. :)

Still 3 odex files in framework - rename these files (remove the word "_release" from 2 of the filenames and com.playstation from the other ~ from memory) so the jar and odex names match and it will work fine.

Re: System formatting. Maybe you need to format 'both' the 0 folder and the normally named one - I'll copy over these bits from a krabappel updater and see if that works.

As I'll use this as a daily, I've popped the modified for xperia xposed module in system/apps - maybe you can do the same in future builds ;)

Nice work bluey :)

[MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION], you updated your android api to 4.3 api 18? - if struggling, grab this rom, then you just need to deodex 3 framework files and find a way to deodex settings.apk to replace the corrupted one both blue and I have :)

Edit: trying this to sort out system formatting.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I have a little time today so am re-deodexing everything and will have a new download ready in a few hours

Cant find a really good guide on updater-script :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ good work. are you able to upload a copy of the deodexed settings.apk please (I'll replace in the rebuild I've made in the kitchen, and better for both of us than redownloading 700mb+)

Ta..

Re updater script guide - I've notived that some scripts seems to be 'generated' by some sort of tool that analyses the rom - maybe we can google for something like that?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Shoulb be in the download tab above by the time you red this, not tested yet

EDIT

Nope still having issues, and I've also now got issues withe the initialboot123 and ui apps - using latest baksmali/smali from google

Might try and do it but leave it odexed like [MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION]

EDIT 2

When left as a odex rom everything looks to work fine - just building a new version with some bloat removed and xposed for xperia installed, lets see how that works
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
i deodexed the entire apps and PM'd you a link to them.

I didn't test the new deodexed files, as my initial deodex i used was 4.2.. and the new one was based on 4.3. I think *fingers crossed* that its what was causing the issues. You get me PM blue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
D/Ling atm so will have a look soon - just about beer time though

Uploading a new version that is still odexed, but runs fine.

blue & Buz...

not sure if it was one of you guys... but we discussed making a sony backup / FTF of a stock rooted ROM. Its possible, but not plausable.

The backup I just did came out as 22.7 Gb! I was expecting 3Gb as thats what FTF's usually are...

So I could share that, and anyone could flash it using Sony PCC... but it seems a bit overkill eh...

EDIT: hang on..

Found the blob_FS folder which contains all of the back-up data. I'll use the kernel and device tree and data, then see if I can create the FTF manually out of that... should retain root.

EDIT #2: Made an FTF, but haven't tested it. Gotta head to Rotorua tomorror morning, and would like to keep my phone as is for the moment., Will test when I get back. 2 days. Looks hopeful!

Hi guys!

i really need some help..been dealing with this for 1 month now..anyway tablet info first,

-Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt (Philippines)

-Jellybean 4.1.1

-not rooted (they said it was pre-rooted, i was gonna root but then problem happened)

last few weeks, apps just randomly crashes and some system processes stopped..so i tried hard reset (no choice)..

after that, everytime i turn it off and on again, i need to do the hard reset because i am always stuck in boot loop..

now i tried to turn it on again (doing hard reset) but the "recovery" no longer appears..its just a flash of light then goes black and so on and nothing happens..tried different key combinations - nothing......plugged to a pc - detects the driver..

please, what can i do?

i really appreciate any help :) thanks in advance :)

For your consideration: NotifyOnNet 1.1184

I created this app out of necessity, I travel a lot through the mountains and desert and once you leave the pavement it's rare to have a solid Verizon signal for any stretch of time. To compound my problem I also use Google Voice which requires mobile data to send and receive texts. I wanted an app where I could activate it and then just leave my phone in the cradle. Then while I drove it would run in the background and then chime/vibrate when I came in range of a cell tower. I looked into a solution. Most people recommended sending a text to yourself, etc but that just didn't seem to work for me. I also tried Tasker but honestly it looked confusing and I didn't feel like buying it. In the end I just decided to would be cool to try making it myself and here is my attempt at that.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.walledout.notifyonconnect&hl=en

This sort of app is probably not useful to most people but if you live in a rural area then I invite you to try it out. Please leave feedback and I'm definitely open to suggestions. This is my first Android app and it has been quite a learning process!

Thanks
