Or. another way. how i can get "hot boot" into some boot.img using kexec on my build-in kernel?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gabedude:
I have searched and searched, tried various mods, etc...

I want to change the amount of rows so the weather and clock on the Sense 6 lockscreen do not overlap. I am running the latest ViperOne and have enabled 5 rows rows on the homescreens and appdrawer. I have tried various different mods and sense 6 weatherclock themes (via xposed and otherwise) without any success. Does anyone know of a mod or fix I can use other than going back to 4 rows on my homescreens?

I cannot post external links of the screenshots I have because of my low post count. Sorry. Basically, the weather icon on the lockscreen will overlap with the clock (and it is smaller than what is shown on blinkfeed), but it does not overlap on the blinkfeed homescreen.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gabedude:
Nevermind. I finally found a fix. I used a non stock HTC weather mod via venom hub and it fixed the issue. Now to try some other themes that will work in 5 row mode. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gabedude:
Must be a bug in a theme or Venom

I don't want to re-install Venom to see if it is a bug in Venom or an addon I applied awhile ago. I am unable to change the weather or clock theme via venom tweaks. It seems to be related to using anything Sense 6 stock for the clock or weather. I just flashed a new full theme and the bug is back. Still investigating. It would be nice to have a mod for the lockscreen to sue the default sense 6 wetherclock with 5 rows on the lockscreen. I have yet to find a mod for just this. Can anyone point me to a howto or manpage on how to create this kind of mod? I am a bit new to android development, but I have made a few apps. I am not new to Linux kernel development (former ALSA contributor).

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gabedude:
The bug is in the AOSP lockscreen.

Frustrating.... I want to hide the dock on the lockscreen. There is no setting for this, but enabling the ASOP lockscreen enables hiding the dock on blinkfeed hides the dock on the AOSP lockscreen as well. When using the Sense 6 lockscreen, there seems to be no way to hide the dock. I like the AOSP lockscreen unlock widget. Unfortunatley, Venom seems to have a bug in their Venom lockscreen tweaks where CM-style pattern dots only works with AOSP. Venom AOSP mode has the 4 row lock bug for the weather and clock. Perhaps the next version of Venom will address this.

I think I might ditch Sense 6 and go to 4.4.4 stock Android mod (or an AOSP rom) with a custom kernel and use GO Launcher for now. I used GO launcher on my 1st GEN EVO and I loved it.

[Themer General Discussion] vcnicinho30:
Hello guys,

Could you help me? I'm trying to use Themer, but I cante because the resolution/DPI.

I have a Moto G, and I use the 220 DPI (I dont like BIG icons)

Thanks.
[Themer General Discussion] justinblaine23:
Ditto. I believe my LCD Density Value is set to 245. But themer can't handle that so I am wondering what people are using?
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Only stock DPI is supported.
[Themer General Discussion] dave7802:
Any intention to support multi DPI?

Alot of Custom ROMS allow easy changing of the DPI, Seems your limiting your potential market.

I Love Themer, I just cannot use it, as Landscape and Multi DPI do not work properly.
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
In the future we might look at multi DPI support, however at this moment the task is a lot harder than it sounds. Sorry about that.
[Themer General Discussion] dave7802:
I completely understand the complexity of the multi DPI.

But has anyone considered some pre defined DPI's

So at least the user can get a Near Enough DPI, and then tweaking the theme to fit perfectly is only minimal changes.

Again just a theory, I have never really worked on DPI.
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
There's a strange relationship with a device's DPI and resolution, which is why many device aren't supported (such as the G3). We've tried what you've suggested, however "near-enough" isn't what the average user wants :)
[Themer General Discussion] brunodu91:
What the stock dpi value?? :320DPI?
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
That depends on what device you are running. This site should help: http://dpi.lv/

problems with themer app

ok I have a rooted galaxy mega and when I use the themes it fills main screen but doesnt fix rite.. is this a resolution problem please help
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi, unfortunately the Mega isn't supported just yet due to its resolution. Hopefully it will be soon though!
[Themer General Discussion] KRex1313:
I have a rooted Nexus 5 with SlimKat ROM running. SlimKat changes the DPI by default, but using BuildProp Editor I changed it to the stock 445 DPI. However, Themer says my resolution is wrong. If I set Themer as my default launcher, I can press the home button and see the default Themer appearance, I just can't download anything from the app. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
[Themer General Discussion] jedijoe84:
I was running trents rom on the GN2 at 270 and it looked ok. I have gotten away from this application recently though.
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi, try changing it to the default DPI settings (480), as this should help Themer recognize the themes.

Good luck!
[Themer General Discussion] beletruz:
220

I also use 220
[Themer General Discussion] KRex1313:
It works perfectly now, thanks! By the way, Themer is awesome - great work!

Hi, I have Sony T2 ultra Dual. although its resolution doesn't support for themer. but after root, when I change its DPI value to 320, now its resolution is 1184*720. and themer is working perfect on it. May be it will help.
[Sony Xperia ZR] stormsaber:
Hi all there

I have been having problems with the touchscreen becoming unresponsive after any blackout - intentional lock, screentimeout, wake from phone call.

It's a fresh install and apparently this is a common problem: code.google.com /p/freexperia/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary&groupby=&sort=&id=2410

I solved it by flashing the lightning kernel from the development forum.

Hope it helps somebody.

[Sony Xperia ZR] harshal.rio91:
It's because of double tap to wake which does not work on Xperia ZR disable it from display in options
[Sony Xperia ZR] stormsaber:
I think there might be a buck in FXP331 which prevents disabling of DTW? I couldnt disable it anyway but its disabled by default with lightning. Have had no problems or bugs at all with this setup, that I've found yet.
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
persistent dt2w has been in CM11 nightlies since a few weeks ago
[Sony Xperia ZR] stormsaber:
Apparently I'm still having a problem with this, even though dt2w is disabled for me. It only happens after a call.

During a call, my screen goes black. Nothing I can do wakes it up.

If the other person hangs up first, the screen returns to normal.

If the other person does not hang up (e.g. answer phone, etc.) the screen remains black and I must remove the battery.

This is problematic for me. Is anyone else experiencing similar?

For now, perhaps there is a way to remap a key - for instance the shutter button - to hang up the call? Unfortunately the apk 'button remapper' (lifehacker.com /5705224/buttonremapper-reassigns-your-android-phones-buttons) did not seem to have any way to select that key. Does anyone have any other ideas or solutions?
[Sony Xperia ZR] stormsaber:
The relevant keys are 568 (soft press to focus) and 766 (long press to take picture). 766 is already set to WAKE the screen, and I just set 568 to do the same. I'm guessing it won't work though.

Hopefully someone else has had this problem and knows a solution...

TCPMP problem

I use the TCPMP app to play AVI files with no problems. I downloaded a podcast (MP4) but TCPMP says that this codec was removed. Tried with the WM player and it also does not read the format. I can convert the MP4 files to AVI format but it's a pain to do so.

Does anyone know how to put the codec back into TCPMP?

Roy
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] JP2005:
you could try the retail version of TCPMP... COREPLAYER.

It is still under development, even if it's already available to consumers, so the features aren't complete yet compared to TCPMP...

If you still want to use TCPMP, I would suggest looking for the AVC plugin for it...

The filename I think is AVC.plg. Don't know where to find it though...
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] flawless:
The codec was removed because of license issues, you can download it from certain sites and put it back, but it's against the law to do so.

So basically my Xperia Z is running MIUI Andriod 4.4.2 kitkat, and its amazing , i like the stock launcher since its damn smooth and no lag, except that it has no App drawer and is more like iPhone, have been wondering whether there is any Modded stock launcher of MIUI or another Launcher with MIUI widget and theme support and yes APP DRAWER!! -_- its frustrating to know there isnt app drawer in the stock MIUI laucnher , Need help buddies :angel:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
miui doesn't have the app drawer, that's part of how it works, it is essentially an ios clone, if you want an app drawer change the launcher to something else
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.Akmal:
Actually i am aware of the fact its an IOS clone just that most of the launchers consumes a lot of memory and i find the MIUI launcher smooth and less memory consuming thats why :) recommend me a launcher that consumes less memory and provides feautures too :cowboy:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyClasher:
Need a little help here. I have the AT&T HTC One, and I'm pattern locked out of it. I got in trouble and my parents "grounded" me for a month by changing the pattern. That way I can still receive calls but can't text or do anything else on the phone. Unfortunately my dad is pretty tech-savvy and also changed my Google account password, so I can't unlock it that way.

Is there any way that I can get in, or am I just locked out? Unfortunately USB debugging isn't turned on on the phone, so I haven't been able to ADB into it. I also need to get in without losing any of my data. If anyone can help please let me know.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
LOL, that's what you get for being naughty.

only way to disable it is to go into the bootloader and factory reset, but that's going to wipe your data too, other than that, wait till your un-grounded and get the pattern off your dad.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philipp_94:
Just flash another rom. Pictures music etc will be saved. You just lose the text messages and app data which isn't saved on the SD card partition. That's what I would do.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CHAD2430:
Dead Thread but oh well

Well that's the M7's downside: It doesn't have an SD Card slot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
he wasn't referring to an sd card slot but to the sdcard

partition

(/sdcard) which is a symlink for /data/media/0

Lets say your BL is already unlocked and like above, your dad change your pattern code, you can simply re-flash the rom (/system partition) and your /data/media/0 will not be wiped. So yeah, it's a way to "bypass" the unknown pattern without loosing any user data.

If your bootloader is locked then it's another story since /data/media/0 will be wiped during the BL unlock in your attempt to reflash your /system partition. That will still get you rid of the unknown pattern but also all your files... :eek:

Where would I find the file that contains the default font size information. I'm building my own ROM and have changed the default font type but would like to set the default size of the font at time of flashing to the smallest possible size but have not been able to locate the file to do so. I've spent several hours looking through framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk. I'm sure their in there somewhere and before spending more time looking for it, thought I would ask.

Sorry if I sound clueless here, but where do I find the database?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
You'll need SQLite Editor from play store to find it on your phone, or you can flash it via recovery using the sqlite binary, a shell script, and a SQL query.

I'm actually wanting to do this in my ROM also but haven't looked into it much yet, but here's the SQL query that I currently have (untested, may need work as I'm a bit rusty with SQL queries).

UPDATE system SET value='0.85' WHERE name='font_scale';

I'm sure there's a place in the ROM, I've just not found it yet. I've seen ROMs on other devices in the past with font scale set low.

I don't know if you guys know about this... This allows unsigned kernel modules to be loaded on the equivalent of MI1. If anyone wants to take the steps described by the OP and build for NC5, this would open the ability to work on Kexec and AOSP via Safestrap (with the actual AOSP Kernel!).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scryan:
So are you basically making this thread not to offer anything new, just to tell people to do more work for you?

Most of the S4 devs already saw that 8 months ago and did what they could with it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Wow. Way to overreact dude. NO I am not telling you or anyone to do work for me. The ATT and Verizon forums find different things, and therefore, sometimes there is a delay in the info being transferred back and forth. Did anywhere in my post did I say/insinuate that I was forcing people to do work for me? NO, I did not, I just shared some info from the other forum, and you replied by complaining about me cross posting. Thanks for that.

I know that they have probably seen the initial post, but there are some helpful posts later in the thread that seemed interesting about building for later firmwares.

I then even proceeded to try and have been debugging it for the last hour or so...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Update

I tried to follow the steps in the OP of the mentioned thread, but loading an unsigned test module on NC5 fails, although BypassKSLM is loading... More work required.

I think that the fix should be somewhere in the:

if (krsp->ret == 0) {

pr_warn("TIMA: lkmauth--verification succeeded.\n");

ret = 0; /* ret should already be 0 before the assignment. */

As I failed to get ret=0 before assignment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scryan:
Cross posting from 8 months ago, after the maker of safestrap (who has accepted a job and recently abandoned further development) has tried and moved on from getting a working kexec...

Its great your working on it. But before bringing it to the main forum and getting people worked up it might be good to make even some progress, otherwise we are just looping back to where we were 8 months ago.

Beyond that.... Hasn't this been patched?

Its based on get get_user put_user exploit yes?

Surge hints at the same fact later, when he discusses whether or not it could be run on a S3

Mentioning being able to run saferoot as an easy method to check and see if the exploit is still avalible, which on NC5 it wasn't right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
My apologies for the misunderstanding on the NC5 part, I am using Surges Downgrade to 4.3, which (4.3) still has the get_user put_user exploit. Still NC5 BL, but 4.3 on /system. Plus if we got kexec working on downgraded 4.3, it wouldn't matter that it was 4.3 because we could just load a 4.4 kernel and rom.

My goal was to try to revive (restart from scratch) the project and see where it got to. I currently got a test module loading (what others have already gotten to), now I want to take my own crack at kexec. It probably won't bear fruit, it could though, and thats the idea... but regardless it is a good learning process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Plus kexec isn't out only option... It works well with safestrap, but there are many other pieces that when put together can function alike kexec, one being ksplice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scryan:
I think part of the issue was something along the lines that the kernel is checked and if it does not pass the phone is shutdown/crippled/set into some mode.

Kexec may be slightly more relevant now that there is some access to the trusted zone, but I really have no idea what I am talking about on that one.

But before you worry too much about "Kexec" make sure you are aware of and understand checks on the kernels validity, if they are performed by the tz, and what/how much access to the tz there is now with Dan's latest... at least that my 2 cents.

It seemed the whole kexec thing kind of dead ended because the issue is a bit deeper then just getting a working kexec module and loading a new kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I know. The main reason I posted this was to work in tandem with Dan's new TZ Exploit. It allows running unsigned code at TZ level, and the possibility of turning off TIMA almost altogether, with TIMA disabled, and low level unsigned code, writing a kexec module would the be the next step.
