[Sony Xperia ZL] user28:
I have extracted a weather widget apk from my old LG Optimus 4x HD phone. I tried to install it in my XZL (C6502). But it says cannot install. Any idea how i can install it.

I tried to install it as a normal apk. I am on stock 4.3 and not rooted. Does the apk need to be ported? I can attach the apk if any one wanted to check the apk.

The weather widget is really wonderful and the sony provided weather widget is no match for it.

[General Questions and Answers] malrevenal:
Hi,

I'm trying to root and install CWM recovery on samsung i8558 Galaxy Win (China Mobile version).

I have at hand a set of stock firmware, a pre-rooted boot.img, and a cwm recovery image (6.0.3.7) built from cyanogenmod source only with recovery.fstab replaced with the one extracted from stock recovery.

Also I've tried ROM Manager, but it won't boot into recovery after claiming to have installed CWM.

I have successfully rooted the device using the prerooted boot.img.

The problem is that when I flash my custom cwm recovery onto the phone, it won't boot into recovery by normal means (holding home, vol+, power). I can only enter recovery via 'adb reboot recovery'. Unfortunately it leaves me stuck in recovery mode, 'reboot system now' fails, 'adb reboot' fails, the only way out I've found is flashing stock recovery.

I guess my cwm image is not properly configured to suit my device. I have tried the Recovery Builder at builder.clockworkmod.com, but its output is totally out of function - black screen without anything.

Any clues?
[General Questions and Answers] mysteryno46:
Which CWM did you use?

I'm using i8552 with many custom Rom and finally a swipe cwm. Which cwm did you use to flash?

Also if you are on JB 4.2.2 will you send me a snap shot of your settings page, notification bar and About page?

I came home but the file he gave me wasn't getting deleted..i've used root explorer and many other apps but it didn't work then I've tried it with my pc but it didn't work either. Now when I put something in the card it won't show on my phone..just the old files. So I thought I'd just format it. (it was formatted with guiformat (fat32) when i first got it) first I tried it with my phone it didn't work then I tried it with guiformat it formats the card but when go inside the card everything is till there then I tried with Easeus Partition master...it didn't work either.

Hi there. Today I updated my i9300 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 via odin. I don't know why but I have a known "no register data" problem. And my IMEI DIDN'T CHANGE. In the settings there is a signal strenght -87dBm 13asu. So, what can I do? I want to call my mom..

PS: I checked, my SIM card works, in my other phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.

Your handset was probably unlocked using the old patch system, or patched for serial number corrupt. None of those patches work with the latest firmware.

If you try to downgrade you will probably lose imei as well, as your efs folder was changed during the update.

If you followed the xda guides you should have backed up your efs folder before you flashed, without a backup you are stuck.

Try reading the sticky thread efs 'know this stuff' for more information.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaveelicious:
Hi,

I`m planing to downgrade to an official Sony Stock ICS ROM (& and strip the bloatware) to get all the features working (HDMI). I was planing to pair the stock sony ICS with a kernel like Lupus. Before doing this however I wanted to ask if anyone has a recomendation on which Stock ICS version to get because I remember reading that one of those was a major flaw.

Additionally I'd like to know if anyone has/did run stock ICS+custom kernel and could share his experience with speed/smoothness and such, because I remember running the LT18i_4.1.B.0.587 firmware before rooting my device some years ago and the whole system was so laggy ... which lead me to try custom ROMs first and evetually unlock the bootloeader and go for custom Kernels later.

Any other recomendations are welcome.

~ska
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
I believe the newest is the best you can get, which is 4.1.B.0.587. You can also try 4.1.B.1.13, but it is a branded firmware and may have some additional bloatware installed in it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaveelicious:
Thanks. I remember 4.1.B.0.587 was really laggy when running on stock "everything". I'll try it and see if I can get it running smoothly with a custom kernel...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Even with a custom kernel, stock 4.1.B.0.587 will still lag a lot because of all the bloatware Sony added inside.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
And extremely awful optimization.

Looking at them, I assume it's the resource files for using Real VGA mode.

Put them in /Windows and you should be able to use ozVGA to switch to 96dpi.

However, they don't work for me anymore! Since upgrading to the latest QTek ROM, I haven't been able to run my JJ in Real VGA mode. Not sure why, but there are loads of missing/incorrect icons. I'm probably doing something wrong though, 'cause I haven't seen anyone else complaining yet....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] brain-family:
It´s the dlls used for OZVGA and the cab that overrides the security functions. Somebody prepared that zip for use with AKU2.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] voodoo_nostromo:
I had this problem with the older VgaRes.zip file and Qtek rom, but this one works for me. What I did was:

1. unpack the contents

2. run sdkcerts.cab

3. copy dlls and other files to /Windows

4. run sdkcerts.cab one more time

5. Use ozVGA to change mode

and it works now. Hope this helps.

My Header is Wrong. Sorry for that. It Should be;

"Micro SIM Larger than 32KB - 250 Contact Limit?"

I have a Sprint HTC ONE MAX with a Lot More than 250 Contacts.

I'm looking to find a Micro SIM that's Larger than 32KB in size so I can have More than 250 Contact Limit.

I remember when people who had Phones way back, had More than 1,000 and 2 People I used to know had over 2,500 Contacts on their Phones.

I'm looking for a Micro SIM that will have More than 250 Contact Limit that will NOT make My Phone work ANY DIFFERENTLY than it's working right now.

Anyone with Good Information as to What Micro SIM that I can get and where to get it, Please let Me and Anyone Else that Reads This Post know as well. And Thank You for the Information that You can Provide to Us All.
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
Can I ask why you dont just keep your contacts in one of your google accounts? You could even create a new empty one if you want to keep it separate. One bad move and that sim could die and no replacement will get them back. Just wondering.
[HTC One Max] gd761:
That's all well fine and dandy if I started out with Android from the begining, but I moved from Windows Phone 8 and trying to sync them with Google has Screwed them All up. So much so that I had to Delete them All and Re Enter them All. But I was Not able to Edit about Half of them, so Ihad to Delete them again and bring My Windows Phone and My HTC ONE MAX into a Sprint Service Center to have them transferred over.

Any other way other than that, Totally Screws them up.

That's why I want to back them up to a SIM Card.
[HTC One Max] fkr99:
1. export to sd card

2. start new gmail account and import them to test (you should be able to send that vcard by email and gmail will recognize it)

3. BU that file

It is just one of many ways, I do tech support for cellphones there is always another way.

the problem with sim cards is that they keep changing sizes over time the vcard is the best way, you can always outlook as a BU also.
[HTC One Max] gd761:
I'm NOT looking to back up to; Micro SD, Outlook, or Google.

As I said before, My Contacts get Screwed Up, some I CAN'T Edit, and others are just WRONG! Wrong Person pops up in Caller ID and or Wrong Person is Called when Selecting the Contact from the People Tab - Phonebook.

And if trying to copy to SIM Card of 32KB 250 Contact Limit, the rest of My Contacts are NOT copied at all past the 250th contact.

PLEASE READ ALL of My Post and take it All into Consideration as if it were YOUR PROBLEM AS WELL. And being Your Problem as well, see what Solutions can be done with Finding a Compatible SIM Card for the HTC ONE, & HTC ONE MAX both on Sprint.
[HTC One Max] fkr99:
well best of luck with that, all sim cards no matter there capacity have a max contact capacity of 250 contacts.

SIM cards can come in various data capacities, from 32 KB to at least 128 KB. All allow a maximum of 250 contacts to be stored on the SIM, but while the 32 KB has room for 33 Mobile Network Codes (MNCs) or "network identifiers", the 64 KB version has room for 80 MNCs

the sim card is not for contact storage it is for connecting your phone to the network. I do know many other ways to get your contacts in a perfect format that is preservable and duplicable.

looks like you will have to go to apple. best of luck.

btw you are kinda rude considering you are asking for help, I did read all of your posts but I assumed that maybe you would do your own reading (learn how to at least use wikipedia) which would have informed you that those are the limitations off a 1991 technology.

There is one other way to use your SIM but I would rather you just not have the ability to communicate.

unsubscribe
[HTC One Max] gd761:
I have read the answers and tried them to no avail. I know that there are SIM Cards out there Larger than 32KB that hold More than 250 Contacts.
[HTC One Max] str8upx:
As others have stated SIM Cards are not suitable for storing contacts period. If they were, however, the only place to get one

would be from Sprint (in your case)

Since you have already imported most/some of your SIM data to your Google/Gmail account I would suggest going to:

https://www.google.com/contacts/ from a PC or laptop and editing the data there. Its a thousand times easier then doing

it from within Android. This is also the only real way to truly delete contacts from the google ecosystem. It may take some

time but once your done you will never have to worry about it again and any contacts you add or edit from you phone will

be synced up.
[HTC One Max] Medulla:
Yeah, I agree with str8upx here. Don't bother trying to manage contact data from within the phone itself as that's a massive pain; login to your Google account from an actual computer and do it that way. Not only is it much easier but you'll be able to delete/update whatever you want with no limitation. Also, if you're coming from a Windows Phone you've presumably got all your contact data in a Hotmail/Outlook.com account and there are relatively easy ways to export from there and import to Google using an actual PC so there's little manual effort required on your part:

I have an HTC One X that was dropped in the water.

The guy only wants the data, and i took it out of it and gave it to him. So he told me that the devices is all yours.

I've been trying to fix it ever since he told me that.

The phone boots up normally, sound is working, vibration is too.

The screen's backlight, although set to maximum, it too dim due to water damage. So i took it to a repair shop, he replaced the screen, and a piece of hardware inside the board, but the screen works for about 10 minutes then completely goes off. So we put back the old screen and peice and the same thing happens, 10 mins of dim brightness... then no brightness at all. I'm currently trying to root it so i could stream and control it via PC. I now have it with a very dim screen that works for 30 minutes then needs to rest for 5 minutes so it could go on again.

Any suggestions on what i should replace to really solve that problem is very much appreciated as i really would like to make this device go alive again.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] |>/\nte:
Greetings xda,

I was thinking about porting the stock j.b. rom of the xperia e to tipo, because it's a nice rom, with a very nice UI, and also it could be a good upgrade for the xperia tipo, with an "official sony" touch. Since both phones are much alike in specs (they have same amount of ram, almost the same cpu, same screen, same gpu and same camera) I consider that this could be possible. So here's my question: how hard can it be? And also what would I need to make the port on an xperia tipo? Note that I'd like to port the official stock, generic one (rootable, if possible), with no modifications like UI, etc.
