[Sony Tablet S] reagen88:
Hello,

I used the tool to root and change region (As I thought it would give me more control and ease over some language features) to Japanese sometime ago. Since then, Google Play and everything involving it (Some games, and the latest YouTube, etc.) stopped working.

I would get an error and the Store/Game/YouTube would just shut down. To this day, I still do not know what went wrong, re-root or changing to another region again does not work. The tablet itself works fine, though. And for some reason, Gmail and Maps works OK.

I can manage without Google Apps, but I still wonder if there's a way to fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks anyway!

Lollipop update?

Hi all - I'm kinda newbie to rooting devices and got an old SGPT122 (XperiaTablet S - Android v4.1.1 r3) to play around. My objective: get lollipop running in this thing (Android 5)

I got it successfully rooted thanks to Condi and motochopper!

Now, the tablet keeps asking me to update the Android version to.......... 4.1.1 Release 3! hehe the one I already got running. I assume it's just because I rooted and now it " thinks" I'm running some other version... am I right?

Also, anyone successfully put lollipop in it can help me? - I installed Android SDK installed but now am missing how to get the build into the tablet.

Thanks!

(status 7) fix?

You guys love to tell us issues, but not how to fix them. This forum is bordering useless as I've been able to get all of the files and things from other sites and the tutorial to fix Chinese tablets is awful. How do I get the US pre-rooted ICS ROM on my Sony Tablet S from rooted Chinese ICS?
[Sony Tablet S] dex9mm:
First off the two tablets a pieces of junk in terms of user development and the main reason is the total lock-out of the bootloader and no fastboot so if you read the fourm and don't just ask to be spoon fed you might see the actual difficulties that are surrounded by this tablet and development by users

The fact that no custom recovery is available for this device says volumes

[Sony Tablet S] ClubSpade12:
Chinese tablet issues

Well since I figured it out, I'll post this to show others who have the same issue as I did how to fix it.

I did it a while ago, but basically use the tool to switch regions as it says, but for some reason I couldn't get it to install the US ROM so I just reset it. When you reset it, it resets to the US version. I don't remember if I kept my data or not, but apps like GLTools and Lucky Patcher and SB Game Hacker made it all worth it in the end.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyst:
Reading all the gps threads at the moment got me thinking. Is it possible to create a program that could access the camera and use the information to provide exposure information?

Maybe even using it to create a light meter type tool?

Not asking if any one wants to do this, just the possiblity? Although if anyone does feel like a challenge!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vijay555:
I think given the nature of the sensor, you'd probably just have to sample the video data from the camera and average into a light level - however, you'd either have to disable or account for the auto-exposure control in the camera driver.

At least using the camera is quite easy from Camera API though!

V
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyst:
ok, that would be useful! Is it possible to access the exposure meter of the camera?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rumy:
hey,

I am down for helping. I could defiantly use a light meter in my phone. and im sure other would use it as wel.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ionide:
Yeah, as semi-pro photographer i never walk out the door without my Hermes and at least 1kg of camera gear, so gadgets like this are always handy. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyst:
had a look at the api stuff, it seems that although there are commands to do with setting exposure they only refer to center-weighted or average. Would appear that we'd have to delve deeper than the camera api to impliment something like this...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aroundlsu:
I searched for this very thing a few weeks ago. There are software programs that will calculate exposure based on ISO, time of day, etc using standard exposure tables but this isn't very useful really. To me, I don't see using the tytn as a general exposure meter being very useful either as it's more accurate to just use your D-SLR's exposure meter.

However.. what WOULD be useful is if I could turn the tytn into a flash meter. My D-SLR can't do that and a pro flash meter is very expensive.

Any comments?

For those that don't know the difference, a flash meter waits for you to fire a strobe then gives you the meter reading based on that flash whereas a regular meter gives you a reading based only on ambient light conditions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyst:
Several things, firstly I think the first step would be to create a standard exposure meter and work from there to see if anything could be done with flash metering.

Also not all my cameras are DSLR's. I have a thing about old cameras that half the time don't have a light meter or it doesn't work.

And finally it would be very education to create a light meter program. If the necessary information could be gathered from the camera there would be no limit to the ways in which the information could be used to calculate exposure. Imagine being able to take an image then highlight a certain area with the stylus and either weight the exposure in favour of that area or choose a "zone" to expose it to.

Still enough dreaming, does any know if enough information can be gathered from the camera?

We would need; an exposure time and a sensitivity setting for the sensor. None of these appear to be controlled through the API.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyst:
Interesting stuff in cool camera...

Just been playing with coolcamera to see what can be done with a 3rd part camera app. Looks interesting, although there is no way to control the exposure directly, the exposure can be "locked" allowing you to recompose and keep the same exposure.

If a default exposure could be "locked" in then it would be possible to use the resulting image to calculate the exposure.
[Zooper Widget General] jsjansen:
RESOLVED: Apparently, it was just taking a long time for Zooper to "unapply" the deleted APs. (Admins, feel free to delete this thread; I couldn't figure out how to do it myself.)

On several occasions, I have specified Advanced Parameters (AP) for a module, then decided I no longer need them. But when I delete the entire AP field, they remain in effect, as If I had not deleted them. The only way I've been able to disable them is to enter some "do-nothing" APs, like

$1=2?0$

.

This only happens is I delete ALL parameters from the AP field. If I have more than one parameter in the AP field, and delete only one, the other two remain in effect, but the deleted AP no longer has an effect. Only when I delete the last AP does its "ghost" remain in effect.

Vodafone España seems to NOT have it.

normally, if there's a lock, it should have a sticker on the box. (there was none).

anyway, i made a call over 5 minutes as was required earlier, and tried it with a non-EU sim - it registered fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 白い熊:
N910F has region lock...

I talked to the guy in the Samsung store when buying it, and he said you need to make 2 calls over 5 minutes total time with a SIM from EU, then you can switch SIMs no prob.

I tried putting in a Russian SIM, and it did ask for the unlock code, which I didn't input.

Restarted with an EU SIM, made a 5 min and a 1 min call from it, then restarted with the Russian SIM and sure enough - it works. Didn't ask for an unlock code, nothing... Works no prob now!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShadowFlare:
Odd, I've never heard anyone importing Note 4 needing to do this, even in some reviews I remember they mentioned that their imported Note 4 was not locked. But then again, it was back when European version was still not released and the imported Note 4s were the Exynos ones. Searching in Google, I cannot find anything about Region Locked Note 4.

Possibly only the 910F are Region Locked, due to EU laws? Or due to Snapdragon?

I was thinking about getting an ATT LG G3 and was looking around , but do not see any Vanilla android roms.

Do they exist?

Do you think there will be a Lollipop rom that can be flashed to this device?

Thanks
[AT&T LG G3] Intub8:
No and yes. Once the official or leaked android 5.0 drops for either the international g3 or att g3 our devs will pump something out.
[AT&T LG G3] 4ndroid99:
There are aosp roms available. It's just that a few things don't work at the moment (camera has been fixed recently but bluetooth still doesnt work).

The problem is the aosp roms are tethered, meaning you need a pc and adb to boot the rom. As soon as the bump devs release the necessary tools, rom devs will be able to "bump" the kernel and have it ready for flashing. By then you'll be able to download and flash normally.
[AT&T LG G3] sic0048:
I think the biggest reason why we don't see more custom ROMs is the fact that the Bump team still has not provided a website or other method for developers to "bump" their work. These guys do this in their spare time (ie they aren't working on this 9-5, 5 days a week). Apparently they are struggling to get their website up and running as it has become a magnet for hacking attempts. Hopefully they will be able to get it all sorted out soon!

Once there is a bump method released to developers, they will be able to really concentrate on the G3 and I think you will see a lot of work released soon after.
[AT&T LG G3] czucker:
I ask this out of ignorance and not impatience in any way, but. . . . Why is the site such a rich target for hacking?
[AT&T LG G3] neo4uo:
Because they found an exploit in the LG bootloader so it basically paints a target on their back? Those same devs have had other successes with rooting other phones and what not. They are in my opinion very popular in the Phone community from their accomplishments. I think this alone makes them a target which is ridiculous. Whether it be jealousy or someone trying to make a name for themself or better yet a foreign country being mad that Americans cracked the code who knows. Actually I don't exactly know why they are being targeted lol. I am just taking guesses. I am sure their is even a possibility that Team Codefire doesn't know.
