Theoretically it will work. I don't know though if it leaves any traces.

If he doesn't want to flash ftf then the easiest way is to make a software repair through PC Companion

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

From what I know if it is rooted then also it voids warranty. Anything that gives you access to system partition could be a good way to brick phone. Therefore it is a good way for any manufacturer to deny you warranty.

Alright I'll ask to have him try the Full Unroot option first.. then go on to either FTF or software repair.

Hey Folks,

I own a Xperia Ion. I have 3 major problems with this phone (rooted)

1. Led Brightness was very low (solved by changing the value of a file)

2. External Speaker Volume is very low (Coz of which my alarms and calls ring very low ) :crying::crying::crying::crying:

3. Phone heats up like I have thrown it in Fire!!!!! (this happens while playing games and using internet) :(:(:crying::rolleyes::eek:

I am still searching for a solution for my problem number 2 and 3 :( and I have failed to get one after looking at or I would say searching the Xperia ion Thread!!!!!!!!

Can some one help in solving at-least the speaker volume problem or can some one direct me to a solution on the forum...

Hi guys,

as the update a week or so of the Walkman App camo out i rea in the update center that it can now be added a widget to the lockscreen(not only when you play music). So updated to 8.4.A.3.1 but I am still not able to find the widget for the lockscreen. Anyone alse having this problem?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
The widget only appears when a music player is playing music. I am not able to add the widget directly (just tested it)

~~Regards
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eferrari.:
Thanks for the reply. My mistake that I misunderstood something. It was "Walkman widget to work on Android default home screen" not Lockscreen. Seems to be a feature that you could use the new widget for other launchers too.

Is there still a way to get widget of the walkman app to the lockscreen? Cause when I stop the music it disappears and on a microphone(not a headset) it is very annoying to reopen the app.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Yes but you will also lose the camera shortcut and others:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] svavrek:
So, after months of tinkering and toying around with my TMO GN2... I have ran into nothing but problems with the ROM's I have installed... Tweaked, CM11, Liquid, Slim... doesn't matter - something doesn't work the way I want. At any rate, I upgrade in 2 months to a new phone and would like this thing just to go back to bone stock. Unroot, factory image, everything. Since I am on a 4.4.4 ROM, how would I do this? I know it involves a factory image and ODIN, but when I tried it locked the phone up twice. Lucky me, I had a backup ready to go...

Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danfm:
I have the SM-T700 model with 4.4.2. android and created few user accounts on it so that few family members can use it with its own settings etc.

What I noticed is that if one user creates a folder on the device's internal storage, no other user can access it.

I've looked for options to change it but found none. Well, maybe that is exactly what Samsung wanted but that does not really fit me and my guys. That is quite restrictive and not even PCs go that far in regards to different accounts on the same device.

Is there a way around this or maybe an option to change it that I was unable to locate?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
That's the whole point of having separate user accounts. You can't have it work in a half hearted manner.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danfm:
Thank you, but I think it can work and sorry, I do not see the point.

Here is the situation - let's say you have few GBs of family photos and videos on the Tab and two more users besides you. With the current setup, I would have to copy to two other accounts everything that I had already put on the device and suddenly something that was 2GB becomes 6GB and it is just great waste of resources.

It is like if Windows PC would not allow any other user to see what is on C drive except the stuff he/she put on it (and system files of course).

As we all know, for the stuff you do not want others to have direct access to you can put it My Documents but the rest of files on C drive is visible and accessible to all other users on that computer (by default).

Hopefully we see that concept soon on android.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If there's no restriction, try saving to an external sdcard or a memory stick connected via USB-OTG MICRO-USB to USB adapter.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danfm:
That is correct, the external sdcard has no restrictions in that regard and I have been already using it to bypass this multiple users policy.

On a device with 16 G internal memory however I do not think that was necessary.

But, yes, there is kind of way around it until things hopefully change.
[HTC One S] safizoli:
Hi,

I have a HTC One S S4 and recently installed the Venom 3.2.1 Rom.

The description did not mention that after that I have to S-OFF the unit because if I do not then ill loose signal/drain battery fast and reboot frequently.

I know that S-OFF would be the solution, at least I reed that.

But when I did try S-OFF the unit but it always a fail with the FATAL: Download updated package at rumrunner

Any chance that the S-OFF source is down?

Yes I did my homework and followed all the instructions:

- All firewall/antivirus are off, even rebooted and checked the permanent off status.

- ADB can see my HTC, adb devices command was used

- Win 7 with the correct all in one S-OFF file from rumrunner. (there is no One S S4 file anyway)

- HTC drivers installed and working (in device manager it says My HTC) Maybe this should be HTC One S? how can I achieve that?

- HTC sync removed after install

- VM’s are unsupported, not using any

- A working internet connection, of course I have it

- USB debugging enabled on your device, done

- Fast boot disabled on your device, done

- Your device must be HTCDEV unlocked or rooted, done and confirmed ( Tempered unlocked status with S-ON)

Any suggestion is wellcome if there is a good fast clean HTC One S S4 sense rom which is working properly with S-ON

Or the way to S-OFF would be also a good help.
[HTC One S] ZioRò:
Try to uninstall your antivirus, I had to do so in order to get S-off!
[HTC One S] safizoli:
I installed a brand new windows 7 without any update etc, HTC sync then and adb with fastboot moved to the computer.

Removed the Sync after I saw it can see my phone.

Still Nothing and windows update/firewall all off.

There are some pictures for more information about results and the phone.:eek:

Just installed this and initial impression is that it works great. Didn't touch my Kindle Fire for a year and i can see there are a lot of improvements made in this time.

I'll keep you posted on the long term (and gaming) performance (installing heartstone and the cave right now).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wiedo:
(Modern) gaming didn't work, heartstone didn't start en the cave has low fps and crashes after 2 minutes. Maybe a little bit too ambitious.

Battery life is much better then before. Only installed Gapps and one google account sync. After 24h on standby (wifi was enabled) i still got 30% battery.

Gentlemen,

In an effort to update MK6 to NC1, I loaded the firmware from SamMobile. Now my Rogers phone thinks its a Bell Phone.

I want to install TWRP, but Goomanager is no longer available on the playstore.

On previous devices, and this one, I installed it via ODIN. This thing won't go into download mode

(Volume Down, Home and POWER). No go. Phone just boots normally.

Consequently, the baseband is still MK6 (Why, I dunno) but the build is NC1. Strange?????

Advise from the gentlemen here please?

Thanks

Hey Guys I am back with my new guide

Here i'll show you How to theme your settings.apk to look like xperia .As you all know sony uses colorizable function for changing the themes

But AOSP framework Doesn't support colorizable function so i've modified the files from xperia rom to make it work on AOSP roms

Topics Covered :-

Requirements:-

Decompile your framework-res.apk

download the resources from attachment and merege it with yours

navigate to framework-res.apk/res/values and open styles.xml

find

<style name="Widget.Holo.CompoundButton.Switch" parent="@style/Widget.Holo.CompoundButton">

OR

<style name="Widget.Holo.CompoundButton.Switch"

replace the style with this

<style name="Widget.Holo.CompoundButton.Switch" parent="@style/Widget.Holo.CompoundButton">
<item name="textOn">@string/somc_btn_on</item>
<item name="textOff">@string/somc_btn_off</item>
<item name="thumb">@drawable/semc_switch_inner_holo_dark</item>
<item name="switchTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.Switch</item>
<item name="track">@drawable/semc_switch_track_holo_dark</item>
<item name="switchMinWidth">72.0dip</item>
<item name="switchPadding">4.0dip</item>
<item name="thumbTextPadding">@dimen/somc_switch_text_padding</item>
</style>

like this :

and add this at the end of styles.xml before </resources>

<style name="TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Widget.Switch" parent="@style/TextAppearance.DeviceDefault.Small">
<item name="textSize">10.0dip</item>
<item name="typeface">sans</item>
<item name="textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/semc_switch_text_color</item>
</style>

like this :

now open /res/values/strings.xml and add the specified lines at the end

if you don't want on/off text on the switch add these

like this :

<string name="somc_btn_on">I</string>
<string name="somc_btn_off">?</string>

or

if you want on/off text on the switch add these

like this :

<string name="somc_btn_on">ON</string>
<string name="somc_btn_off">OFF</string>

open /res/values/dimens.xml and add this at the end

<dimen name="somc_switch_text_padding">7.0dip</dimen>

thats it now recompile your framework-res

EXTENDED THEMING TO YOUR SETTINGS ON POST #5

Enjoy :)

[Android Themes] pavan kr:
To theme your settings look like honami style

for xperia stlye switch follow the above guide

First Decompile your settings.apk and merge the resources from the attachment

open AndroidMainfeast.xml and change this line as shown

<application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_settings" android:label="@string/settings_label" android:supportsRtl="true" android:taskAffinity="" [B][COLOR="Red"]android:theme="@style/Theme.Holo" [/COLOR][/B]android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow">

now open res/values/styles.xml and add this (if you alreadry have this style change it to look like mine)

<style name="Theme.Holo" [COLOR="Red"]parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">[/COLOR]
<item name="android:textColor">#ff000000</item>
<item name="android:listSeparatorTextViewStyle">@style/ListSeparator</item> [COLOR="red"]#### add this line to apply new header style to settings and its activities ####
[/COLOR]	[COLOR="Blue"]<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/[COLOR="Purple"]your_background[/COLOR]</item>[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]#### add this line to apply custom background for settings and its activities ####[/COLOR]
</style>

if you want to add custom background to settings and its activities replace your_background with your image name

also add this at the end of styles.xml

<style name="ListSeparator" parent="@android:style/Widget.DeviceDefault.Light.TextView.ListSeparator">
<item name="android:textSize">14.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
[COLOR="blue"] <item name="android:textColor">[COLOR="Red"]#ffED2A2F[/COLOR]</item>[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]####for changing header's text color ####
[/COLOR] <item name="android:gravity">center_vertical</item>
[COLOR="blue"] <item name="android:background">@drawable/[COLOR="red"]semc_list_section_divider_holo_light[/COLOR]</item>[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]####for changing header background ####[/COLOR]
<item name="android:paddingLeft">8.0dip</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
</style>

if you face any bugs like this

Now open

smali/com/android/settings/applications/ManageApplications$ApplicationsAdapter.smali

Search for

[B]getColorStateList[/B]

above that you will see this

[COLOR="red"]0x1060001 [/COLOR]

like this :

change it to

[COLOR="red"]0x106000[COLOR="Blue"]4[/COLOR][/COLOR]

This will fix the white text on white background problem in manage aplications tab items.

type 1 :

type 2 :

for type 1 merge the contents of type1.zip to your settings.apk

for type 2 merge the contents of type2.zip to your settings.apk

Finally Recompile your settings and flash it .

enjoy :)
