I do believe its true

This is because the waterproof is literely useless, sony says no Chemicals aka anything that isnt your shower/bath/freshwater stream or river/freshwater lake/tapwater

Other words, no swimming pools or sea

You can take to these places, just not for long
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin433:
I will send it to them as fast as I can.

Well, Sony actually says that you can use the phone in the following wet and dusty conditions:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HugePotato:
Nice find Kevin. In this situation they think I should repair your phone. However, Z2s have manufacturing defects that make those port seals no really tight and when they aren't water gets in. That voids the warranty. Logic is strong with Sony. Mine still hasn't come but when it does, hopefully tommorow, I will take it to a Sony Centre to make sure it is water resistant.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin433:
I sent mine back to a service center through my carrier 2 weeks ago. Today I got a new one without paying anything for it :) I also think of taking it to a Sony Center to check if it's water resistant.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamahIBI:
same problem :(

Hi, I have the same problem as you the phone was working though the screen wasn't, I called sony they told me to do a software update and that didn't work, I currently have it in repair, I did tell sony though I'm not paying for the water damage as I had the waterproof covers closed and double checked of that... I am a Sony fan so hopefully they won't let me down

I really like MIUI's style but it was very laggy on my xperia S so I left it. But with this monster I look forward to it :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmarEinea:
Did you guys try the patch for porting provided by Desperanto86 here:

[Patch] for Z1 stock based cutom ROMs to work on Z1 Compact

??

I suppose it should work, because this new MIUI base is ported by basing on Sony firmware 4.4.2 (.761) as mentioned in OP,

no big differences between .757 .761, so if anyone is willing to do so, please try it by using the patch for .757 builds,

but of course in step five of how to install, flash a 14.3.A.0.757 ftf instead of 14.2.A.1.142.

hope that works, and it would easy for us by not having to get any permission I guess.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvillasuso:
Didn't work , gives bootloop

I also to tried to do it manually , editing and replacing files @ the aroma installer , build.prop, boot kernel, and even playing arround with the given patch , etc

NADA !

Im Missing somethng but I have no clue !
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmarEinea:
Hmmm, that might be because he is using a modified kernel, he mentioned you can't use other than the one included,

will try another way.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvillasuso:
Good approach , didn't think or read about that ( missed it )

Indeed , I used the .757 Z1C stock kernel for LB .. but I have UB .. will that affect ??

Here is the edited build.prop by me ( from the Z1 forum miui thread ) : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7481977/build.prop
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorenzoval:

Ciao Lorenzo, grande! :) sono mesi che aspetto una build miui per lo Z1C, dopo aver avuto il MI2s non ho mai perso la nostalgia per la miui!

Sei riuscito a patchare la versione per z1? quindi è basata sempre su 4.4.2 (build 761), giusto?

p.s. il 16 agosto uscirà la miui v6, speriamo sia supportata nativamente per la serie z1! ;)

Hello Lorenzo, this is great! :) it's a long time i'm waiting for a miui rom for Z1C, after i had a Xiaomi MI2s i never lost the longing for miui rom!

Did you patched the original miui version for z1 of the other thread? So it is based on 4.4.2 (build .761), right?

p.s. on 16th of august miui v6 will be released, hoping that it will support directly the sony z1 series! ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorenzoval:
Yes, I made a patch to flash in recovery after having flashed the ROM for Z1 ;)

Sì, ho creato una patch da flashare in recovery dopo aver flashato la ROM per lo Z1 ;)

can you share it? :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorenzoval:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munjeni:
You can not use kernel other than these miui kernel. You need hack to get it working on z1c, for example you must create kernel module which will revert this https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/4506a7feeaf02d272c518783cdac680bbd8aa312 on miui kernel on boot time (if possible)! Other than that hope xhdpi is inside these base!? Before you start porting miui you must first get kernel working, my sugestion is to get kernel working first with cwm, than the rest is easy for porting. I will port miui for sure but I will not share build with z1c users since I stopped sharing all roms for our phone :p Hope this help you to port miui from z1 to z1c.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorenzoval:
Thanks for the advice but the ROM is already booting on my phone. I only modified the ramdisk of this boot.img (that's why I'm waiting for permission). The only weird issue is that lockscreen icon is invisible :silly: so you have to find it and drag it down or you have to unlock your phone by starting settings from the quick settings. If you use an unlock pattern maybe you will no longer be able to unlock your phone. If you use a theme the problem goes away. Apart from this issue, the ROM is stable.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munjeni:
Did you tried with stock kernel?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvillasuso:
If Im not wrong this can be fixed by replacing the stock theme files with another custom one ...in the zip file folder before flashing it , so you can avoid that "invisible" issue
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
Hi guys,

I use WinCE CAB Manager v1.1 for creating CAB files.

The only problem is that there is no option here like "Allow Uninstall: TRUE/FALSE" (like in v2.0).

I would like that some of the CAB files that I created do NOT show up in "Remove Programs".

Is there something like a standard INF file that I can use for this option, so that with every CAB that I am going to create I 1st import the .inf file (that sets uninstalling to False) and then add my files/registry settings and things like that.

If this is possible, can someone provide me with something like this?

Thanks and regards,

Molski
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
As far as I know there is no such option in the INF, but the app that installs the cabs (wceload.exe) has the '/nouinstall' command line parameter.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
So adding: "wceload.exe "%1" /nouninstall" to the registry would solve my problem.

But when I do this, every CAB file I install cannot be uninstalled.

I would like to set nouinstall per CAB file, so one CAB file can be uninstalled and another one cannot.

Regards,

Molski
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Why do you want to do this?

If I installed something that later could not be removed - I'd be VERY pissed off.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
It's for 2 files I use in the Ext Rom of my Molski.Biz roms.

And believe me...you DON'T want to uninstall these 3 files ;-)

Molski
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
Hi molski

If you remove the registry entry in HKLM\security\appinstall for the named apps they wont show in the remove program list. You could make a cab file to do this after installing the other cabs, or try including this in the apps cabs - I only know how to do this with xml. If you need help give us a shout.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
Is it possible that you could create a XML file for me that I could use in the CAB'S that I want to prevent from uninstalling?

If you want I can PM you the CAB files.

Thanks,

Molski
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
Yes pm the cab files and i will see what i can do - i have managed to delete the reg entry with a cab so far and will try to include it in yours. What do the cabs install? Will it affect my wizard?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] doedoe:
Install all of your files and export HKLM\security\appinstall to a .reg

Post the contents here and we can make you the cab you are after.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
It are 2 files, Performance and Registry tweaks CABS.

Check out "My Cabs" page on www.molski.biz for what the files do with your Wizard.

Molski.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
Yes i am familiar with those - i'll download the cabs and i will see what can be done.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
I will PM you the latest version tomorrow, don't use the files on molski.biz, they are outdated :)

Molski
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
I have posted you a cab - it appears the best fix. I doubt if including the reg tweak in the 2 cabs would work as the reg values are added after the install. Install my cab after yours and it will do a fix - i have left the name of the fix cab blank so it does not appear in the uninstall programs list.

rename zip to cab
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] da_mayhem:
@molski...

What are those cab files for? if those CAB files are only for registry manipulation (meaning no files would be dumped to th device) then CAB Provisioning will be the best, it doesn't show on the Remove Programs.. Please tell if that's what you are looking for. Goodluck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
Here are the 2 files

Here are the 2 tweak files, they are created with WinCE CAB Manager v1.1

I would like that these 2 files cannot be uninstalled after they are installed by the Extended Rom.

And please...can you guys be sure that after adding the "nouninstall" option to these files I still can edit them with WinCE CAB Manager v1.1 (because I noticed that WinCE CAB v1.1 cannot open every CAB file, especially files that are created with Visual Studio or a newer version of WinCE CAB Manager).

Really thanks a lot guys!

Regards,

Molski

p.s. Some of the tweaks are in both files in case people want to manually install one of the files, but for installing via the Ext. Rom I want to make sure that they are not able to uninstall!

I've edited the files so that they are uninstallable.

Don't know if they will open inn 1.1

But If the cab files only contain reg entries the solution da_mayhem suggested is a better alternative.

Øystein
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
CAB Provisioning sounds great....can you give me some more info on how to do this?

The CAB files are only containing Registry Entries.

Molski
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
Thanks, unfortunately they cannot be openend anymore with 1.1, but until I have some changes to these files they will be perfect.

Can you give me some more info on how you did this?

Maybe I can do it myself also :)

Molski
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
When I try to install the files it says that the files are not compatible with my current OS ?

Molski
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0flus:
I just opened and edited them with Cab Manager 2.0

The Registry CSP is documented at MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...en-us/mobilesdk5/html/wce51grfregistrycsp.asp

I've attached a example and the only thing you need to do is to edit the _setup.xml file and run runme.bat to generate the cab file.

Easy as .... dell..?

Best regards

Øystein
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] da_mayhem:
Ok, then that's perfect..here's a quick draft about CAB Provisioning..

You need 3 files - XML File, CabWiz(SP).exe and MakeCAB.exe ( all attached )

First, create an XML file which contains all the registry entries to be written or changed on the device, here's the format

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="Registry">

<characteristic type="HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers">

<parm name="DefaultClientDriver" value="Serial on USB" datatype="string" />

</characteristic>

</characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

that would be changing the value of HKLM - Drivers - USB - FunctionDrivers - DefualtClientDriver - to Serial USB

so if you are going to include more registry mainpulations in one CAB file, should look like this

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="Registry">

<characteristic type="HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers">

<parm name="DefaultClientDriver" value="Serial On USB" datatype="string" />

</characteristic>

<characteristic type="HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers">

<parm name="DefaultClientDriver" value="RNDIS" datatype="string" />

</characteristic>

</characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

then so on..

Remember that the string

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="Registry">

should always be there on the top, and

</characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

Should always be on the bottom, otherwise, it would fail to install on the device.

Now after creating an XML file ( of course save as ***.xml ), create a folder on PC, put all the files there - xxx.xml , MakeCAB.exe, CABwiz(SP).exe

Then launch the Command Prompt..

Assuming the folder is on drive C:\Test CAB, navigate the Command Prompt to that directory ( or type cd c:\Test CAB ) then type this:

makecab.exe xxxx.xml test.cab

test.cab would be the CAB filename and the xxxx.xml is your XML file.

then the CAB file would be dumped on the same directory ( C:\Test CAB )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
Nice stuff!

Gonna check it out tonight....right know I am a little bit busy at work ;)

Thanks,

Molski.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
did you meant to attach files here?

I'd really like to get CabWiz(SP).exe but without having to install the SDK so if you could share them i'd apreciate

thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] da_mayhem:
I'm sorry mestrini, almost forgot he he he

here are the files, i guess you don't need the cabwizsp.exe,i have tried creating a cab without that file and it worked, i just didn't test it to install.. and also, i will be including the cabwiz.ddf to make it sure it would work..just put all the files together in one folder..

I am having an issue of failing to install on the device while i have triple checked the xml and it's fine, i just don't where is the flaw, but some CAB worked great for me..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
tx anyway

thanks for the trouble m8 but i was anxious to try my first cab so i did get the SDK from MS and installed it just for those files.

After reading yours and some other guys explanations on "xml2cab" i made my own "EnableRAPI.cab" which worked flawless :D

and i even packed the "makecab" files in a rar file just like yours except for a readme.txt file i may use sometime in the future when i forget the theory and a batch file i thiink i got from Buzz that avoids using the command prompt ;)

cheers

PS:

i know you've uploaded already but i'll leave it anyway

PS2:

don't forget to check for virus (hehe)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] da_mayhem:
I have included a stealth bomber inside my ZIP file ha ha ha J/K

Nice mate!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
remember that some registry areas are restricted and only if SPC certify is disabled you can write to them via CAB file
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] da_mayhem:
yes yes yes, i agree..

If that problem occurs, try to create a new one thru the INF based CAB creating..you just need to create a simple or maybe blank text file to be dumped on the phone and tag the registry targets on the bottom part.. i just don't know if it would work, haven't tested it yet.

Btw, how's molski?...waiting for your new rom. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
@da_mayhem

I learned a lot from your example and it made me look for more info but what i just could not find (even after two days) is the way to write a REG_BINARY key to the registry with wap-provisioningdoc. I always get the strangest values.

Any help would be great

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] da_mayhem:
I believe CAB Provisioning is very limited, down to the basic of basics..ill try to make a workaround for it and see if its possible. :) If ever you'll find a way, please post it here, thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
tx for the reply m8

What i need to do is to add the following (non-existing by default) key

HKLM\Time

Name=TimeZoneInformation

Value=000000000047004D0054000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000A000000050002000000000000000000000042007200690074006900730068002000530075006D006D00650072002000540069006D006500000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000300000005000100000000000000C4FFFFFF

type=REG_BINARY

which is created when i change my time zone to "GMT London, Dublin"

I know that the initial values stand for:GMT (474D54) with null bytes between the letters but my problem is how to do the null bytes using ASCII

check here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...tml/wce51samaddingkeyvaluesmodifyingvalue.asp

the example given at this page doesn't include what i need :(

hope someone can give a hand...

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0flus:
This is how I do it.

I query the device for the reg key by XML provisioning after it is set up with the right timezone. Unzip the attached file and run the RunConfig.bat with your device connected.

The reg query specified in RapiConfigIn.xml will run on the device and the result will be output to RapiConfigOut.xml.

A query of my device gives me:

Which is GMT+1 Berlin, Roma.

Hope this helps!

Best regards

Øystein
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mestrini:
re

Wooohhoooo it worked :D

I knew about querying a key and already played with RapiConfig.exe but never thought about using it for this purpose.

Thanks so much for the tip m8, now my extended_rom personalising CAB is done :)

[Nexus 5 General] ShadowCodeGaming:
Hi forum,

As you probably know, the Nexus 5 requires root to be able to mount USB thumbdrives. This can become quite annoying with OTA updates etc. I've started a request on the L bug tracker, if you could take a minute of your time to star the request we might get it integrated! Thanks in advance.

EDIT: We've been merged! Everyone please comment and star this new link, even if you did the old one!

https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=215
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
I am supporting that idea. I am also eager to see notification light for missed calls.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
A native support would be good but using Nexus Media Importer or Total Commander with USB Stick Plugin does the job, right? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] ShadowCodeGaming:
Nexus Media Importer is paid and I was unaware of Total Commander. Must try that out later on. But even then, what if those apps don't get updated for L support? It'd be better to just have it integrated IMO.
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Usb stick plugin is a paid plugin :(
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Starred it, thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
There's a trial version as well. It is fully functional and the trial period gets extended as and when the app gets updated every month. The "paid" app of the plugin is just to support the developer. :)
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
oh my bad. I just saw the $0,99 price and I autmatically believed that it is paid app. This happend 3-4 month before. Thanks to that mistake I made my very first rom based on AOSP with USB otg supporting ntfs and exfat with read and write :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] TheAtheistOtaku:
delete
[Nexus 5 General] PaisanNYC:
Really? It's 99 cents. Support the developers or we won't have quality apps being made!
[Nexus 5 General] steslatt:
I'm pretty sure ES file explorer supports this but I've not tested it.

When you say native support, what do you mean? The phone already supports it, you just need an app to use it.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
You need root to access the usb drive via ES File Explorer. The only way to use a usb stick on an unrooted nexus 5 is to either buy Nexus Media Importer which costs about $4 or to use Total Commander with USB Stick plugin.

I really don't care about this as I'm on always on a custom rom/kernel which mounts it automatically. But it would be good to have Native support for people who don't root :)
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
By native he means that the phone mounts the usb stick on its own without any app.
