[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Surge1223:
Here is a method to get a boot log that you would normally need other means (UART, JTAG etc.) to get. It tells you exactly how the device boots up and the information it displays varies depending on if you have just flashed a partition with Odin, flashed a zip in recovery, normally booted, booted into recovery etc. Its a good way to not only get diagnostic information but also specific boot information and partition locations. Also this gives you information about what happens prior to aboot (lk), mine for example tells me how sbl2 loads RPM and SBL3 etc and gives their addresses in memory.

-Obviously you must be rooted and have busybox installed (correctly) before continuing. Download the app "Busybox on rails" from the playstore if you're not sure if busybox is installed correctly and it will take care of it for you

1. Open /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu and make sure it says ON

2. Dial *#9900# and select "Enable SecLog" hit OK and exit

3. Download viewmem here, extract it from the zip and adb push it to /data/local/tmp or copy and paste/move it to /data/local/tmp

After viewmem is moved/pasted/pushed to /data/local/tmp then:

4. Then you can copy/transfer to your pc and open it with a text editor (notepad ++ or something that can open most formats)

I've attached what my output looks like View attachment 2645111 but I edited out my CID for obvious reasons. This should work on the I545, I337 and I9505.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] broodplank1337:
Hmm this looks very nice and wanted to try it. but I got carriermenu on "ON" but when I dial the code I get "Connectionproblem or invalid MMI code", is this perhaps carrier dependent?

I guess I have to change the cmdline (sec_debug.enable=0 sec_debug.enable_user=0) both to 1
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Surge1223:
actually you dont have to change sec_debug.enable or sec_debug.enable_user at all, I dont think enabling seclog in the Sysdump menu is even required I just added it for completeness. Plus the only way to change the cmdline is to bind it to a copy of an edited cmdline (as outlined here) Also can you send me a copy of your aboot? Within its strings it should have the number to dial to enable seclog etc. You should try to grab the log without enabling seclog (I didn't enable it the first time I grabbed the log either) and see if it works.

Edit: actually I guess you could try enabling sec_debug.enable and sec_debug.enable_user using the method in the link I referred to.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] broodplank1337:
Oh ok. thanks for the link!

I already searched it through myself.

broodplank@Bulldozer ~/bin $ strings aboot.mbn | grep '*#'
!+"*#
Step3 -> *#9900# -> copy to sdcard (include CP ramdump) -> dumps for cp(mdm)
QE*#J
[code]

its *#9900# like yours but it still doesn't work :(

I will test the link later this day :p

Isn't it just kmsg?

With last_kmsg enabled custom kernel, you can access to very first kmsg message. It will be at the end of /proc/last_kmsg log.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Fenny:
I'm pretty sure we don't get to see the bootloader (SBL, aboot, etc...) data in kmsg. Kernel messages start a bit after that log. This is useful information, but requires that your phone actually gets to a somewhat booted state. Sadly, it's not quite a complete replacement for UART.

Just an FYI, assuming you can boot a custom kernel, then you CAN modify the boot_command_line as I did in this commit:

https://github.com/FennyFatal/SGS4-M919-FennyKernel/commit/daaf3dc736d69f893e4aa9858fe786fe53c4f5d6

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] E:V:A:
Hmm, I wonder if you can connect a keyboard during bootup to get into the FIQ debugger...if enabled.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] ryanbg:
There's also a hidden ODIN log within or just after the memory range for LK. On the Note 3, it should be 0xF8000000. You'll want to dump about 2-3MB after the prior address. You can see your Heimdall/Odin flash log and all relevant information. We were even able to see Linux test the USB serial link by sending AT+CLAC, which Odin obviously didn't understand. This, howver, makes me question if it's possible to send commands to Odin? We wouldn't be able to see what we're doing so we'd have to dump the log everytime we try something.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] CalcProgrammer1:
Do you have the source code for this? I want to build it into my boot.img for kexec but I need it to be static compiled for that to happen as it's a bare minimum rootfs.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarocQC:
Hey guys, I've managed to flash about 5-6 different roms which were advertised as being D803 compatible. The common problem I have with every rom I flash is the loss of audio. The DSP manager often stops responding when I try and play a song or a youtube clip. I've tried turning on the equalizer as some have suggested but to no success. Even basic boot sounds, volume up/down, or ringtones don't produce any audio. If I restore my phone back to stock (4.2.2) then the audio comes back and behaves as it should.

Any ideas?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarocQC:
Flash back to my backup (4.2.2) on stock rom/kernel. I got sound for the boot screen ONCE and never since. I've tried a full factory reset and no sound... I have no clue what is going on. My phone will sometimes freeze up when I raise or lower the volume... but it doesn't produce any sound at all anymore...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarocQC:
bump, also, I've tried doing a factory reset once again, had sound for about 1 sec then it died again and hasn't come back since....

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sonic McTails:
I've done some searching, and I know Windows CE uses Win32, which I know to an extent. I was curious if there are any good free resources for learning WinCE-Win32, or if I should simply use my existing books for MFC/Win32. Microsoft's site kinda sketchy, and MSDN not being very useful. I did get Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ working and compiled a test app which worked on my MDA and on the emulator.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rudegar:
i would just start coding

miniMFC and compact .net framework is soo close it's only

some controls and options you dont have

ortherwise it's the same thing

learning by doing and having ones fingers down and dirty

into the code is where you learn the most
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Yep, that's just how I learned when I switched to coding for PPCs.

Any way here are a few major differences to start you off:

1) All API's that use strings are in UNICODE. ASCII versions were removed.

2) For most API's that have an 'ext' version the regular version was removed. Example: ExtTextOut - yes, TextOut - no.

3) When dealing with files, all paths must be absolute. No '..\file.x' and 'file.x' will give you the file in device root and not the app directory.

And here is a nice site for pocket PC specific apps:

www.pocketpcdn.com

Has articles on just about everything from making dialogs not full screen to writing today plug-ins.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sonic McTails:
I knew about how everything was Unicode. Is there an easy way to create unicode strings? I remember there was something in MFC macro like TEXT() that did something like that, but the specifics are missing. I remember there was a knowledge base article on this, but I can't find it.

Also, what's the difference between the Ext version and the non-ext versions of an app?

EDIT: Unless I'm mistaken, I just need to put my strings in _T("*string*")
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Yes, you're right, this is how you write strings in your code:

WCHAR uniStr[] = L"Unicode string";

or if you are using MFC:

CString uniStr = _T("Unicode string");

and if you have a ASCII string you want converted to UNICODE

use mbstowcs function. (CString class has a built in conversion)

As for the 'ext' API's they just give you more parameters to better control the result of whatever they are doing. In desktop windows if you didn't want to call a function with 10 parameters you usually had a simpler version of it where some things were default.

Example:

BOOL TextOut(
HDC hdc, // handle to DC
int nXStart, // x-coordinate of starting position
int nYStart, // y-coordinate of starting position
LPCTSTR lpString, // character string
int cbString // number of characters
); //5 parameters

BOOL ExtTextOut(
HDC hdc, // handle to DC
int X, // x-coordinate of reference point
int Y, // y-coordinate of reference point
UINT fuOptions, // text-output options
CONST RECT *lprc, // optional dimensions
LPCTSTR lpString, // string
UINT cbCount, // number of characters in string
CONST INT *lpDx // array of spacing values
); // 8 parameters

what would be your suggestion for a newbie to learn programming for PPC?

Hey guys,

So I've got an awesome theme design in mind, and i need to create a wallpaper design that lines up with the elements of my theme (all the Widgets etc).. For example, the wallpaper having a sidebar, or segments for the Widgets and whatnot to sit inside of.. stuff like that..

Anyhow, I'm gonna give it a shot, but im not super pro with Photoshop. So to save some time, i was going to try to just find a wallpaper that i can work with. So here's my question:

- Where can I find wallpapers that have these types of "layout" style of designs, that i can use for creating a theme with?

Been searching everywhere but can't seem to figure out how to word it correctly :/

Thanks in advance!

I usually just use a bitmap on a bottom layer, because you can adjust whatever image you bring in, allowing you to use whatever image you want as a background/starting point.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaughanbevan:
My Note 10.1 is having a weird issue with the colours on the screen. Basically one day it started displaying the sort of screen corruption and visual artifacts you normally get when you overclock a video card too much or your SLI cable isn't in properly. The corruption occurs during normal operation, during the boot logo and even in download and recovery mode. A firmware reflash had no effect. If I take a screenshot, the screen looks like it should (i.e. it's not in negative mode and the system thinks it's displaying the colours normally). I'm thinking at this stage either the screen itself somehow got damaged, though I'm not sure how, or a cable has come loose/been damaged somewhere. Has anyone seen this before or have an idea as to what is likely causing it?

It happened suddenly, one minute it was perfect the next day it looked like the picture. I'm thinking it's just a lose video cable, either that or one of the colour channels/polarizer is missing.

I am not responsible for bricked devices,

of following this guide

I have been searching the forum for a guide for rooting Xperia ZL C6502 on

10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware but there was no comprensive guide to it so I

thought of writing one.

The most important aspect of rooting the ZL is an unlocked bootloader.

To check if your bootloader is unlocked, visit http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

After checking if your bootloader is unlocked get the unlock key from the sonymobile site and

use the Flashtool from http://www.flashtool.net/download.php and unlock the bootloader.

After the bootloader is unlocked, we need to flash a new kernel.

Download the Advance Stock Kernel from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2641695 by Gustavo RD78.

Flash the kernel using the Flashtool.

Press the Volume - and Power button to go in to TWRP Recovery.

Reboot the device from TWRP and there will be a prompt to root the device,

select yes.

Device will reboot automatically and prompt to update the SU binaries. Update it and your device is rooted.

Note that the kernel contains dual recovery. CWM as well as TWRP.

To boot to CWM press the Volume + button when the SONY logo appears and to go in the TWRP press Volume - when on SONY logo during boot.

Credits:

Thanks to Sony Mobile for providing such a beautiful phone and unlocked bootloader.

I would like to maybe use my 8125 as a MP3 player when riding my bike. I tried it out yesterday using the default Mobile Player and found it to be a bit unfriendly. Actually it was a PITA and I had to take off my helmet and gloves to get it playing. I finally figured out my MS voice command... "play everything", which also played ring tones. LOL Should have looked into it before heading out for a ride I guess.

Anyway, I've looked through the forum here and found a few "players" I might try.

TCMP

MortPlayer

PocketMusic

Question is this, does anyone use their phone as an MP3 player? Are there any issues I should be thinking about, i.e. does the battery drain pretty quickly, does the screen stay on and so forth.

Otherwise I have my eye on a nice SanDisk 2GB player that has a FM receiver that is of course designed to be a MP3 player.
