[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jam.01:
Yeah, by unlocking the bootloader you have deleted the TA partition, where DRM keys are stored, which means some proprietary sony stuff is gone. Including, but not limited to, camera functionality... You should have backed up your TA partition before unlocking your bootloader in case someone ever figures out how to reinstate the partition or something along those lines... HOWEVER, there have been some advances on that, a dev team managed to trick the system into thinking the DRM keys are there and restoring the missing stuff...

http://www.xda-developers.com/restore-lost-functionality-on-your-unlocked-xperia-device-part-two/

There's more info on the subject and a link to the dev thread.

Sorry, I didn't completely read the your message before my previous reply.

Relocking the bootloader won't affect the missing functionality unless you backed up your TA partition (DRM keys). If you did the process would be: flash stock rom, flash backed TA partition, relock. If you didn't back them up, I'd suggest looking into what I was talking about in my previous post, that would be your best bet.

Hi, Thanks so much for the reply, I have tried to search the forum and decided to flash the following Rom;

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-dstrikerz1-kai-rom-1-0-t2928666

So far I've noticed definite improvements in camera and unexpectedly sound improvement also. Still using the phone with this ROM to see if there are any other issues but so far I've found absolutely no faults.

Definitely a ROM worth looking at for Xperia Z1. I'd thank the developer but unfortunately I'm a noob and I'm not allowed to post in the thread yet but I did hit the Thanks button.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jam.01:
You gotta start somewhere I guess... You just gotta have 10 posts to be able to post on dev threads.

That rom seems good, myabe try out the iHackers one...? I heard that was was really really good.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaosPerson:
Yeah sony blows with these things, they allow you to unlock, dev away, but there's always that tradeoff.....

Well right now I'm running the LSVW WM6 ( 3-25-07 version ). And I had the same issue with XDA Live .20 also. But basically what happens is whenever I go to make a text message and I start to type in the name I want to send it to, the name shows up twice.

My SIM contacts are hidden, they do not show up in the contacts list. And having said that there are only one of each name in the contacts list. So I'm not sure exactly what is causing this.

I've attached a screenshot showing what I'm talking about.

Anyone have a fix for this? I know it's stupid, but it's driving me crazy...

Also too, the same issue with both ROM's I've talked about. I can't send MMS messages no matter what settings I mess around with. I've also recently installed the CAB files for the Cingular settings that MrDSL just posted and they still don't work.

Anyone have any sure fire way to get my MMS working? Thanks in advance. -Shawn
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] adebilloez:
This autocomplete is not working at all for me...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Did you install the .cab on a fresh install or after already having other data settings applied?

MMS works perfect here. I just sent a few..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] y2whisper:
Try deleteing your sim contacts and then add them back in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
Fresh install

I would try that but there is no 'select all' in the contacts options and I don't feel like adding 200+ numbers individually back to my SIM card...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DeniaL:
If you want I can setup an Exchange account for you, so you can sync your hermes to my server, wipe your SIM card, and go from there...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dkm00182:
Mine does this also Cingular 8525, 3-26-07 LVSW, no sim contacts, all sync'd from exchange.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
Thanks for the offer, but I ended up figuring out how to do it on the phone. The option to copy contacts back to the SIM card is in SIM Manager now...

So I erased the contacts off the SIM and copied them back and the issue is still there...

Good news though, my MMS's seem to be working now. I upgraded to the LVSW 3-26-07 version and MrDSL's CAB and it works now...who knows what was going on before...

I really don't understand this contact issue though...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shadoefrizon:
Just a quick question...

Do you by any chance run Windows Live Messenger? ;)

'Cause if you do the contacts in your Exchange Account and the Contacts in your WLM will be synched together and as such the WLM-contacts will be added to your contacts..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tugas2khas:
having same problem

Hi,

I'm also having the same double contact showing up, but in Pocket Informant. but not in Messaging Apps... I've hide the sim contact using hacks.. but not working... must be something wrong with PI on WM6. The problem is, when i scroll down the list, the sim contact make PI popup a message 'Cannot find ink note'.. and that's really annoying... I'm using Black v1.2

EDIT: I just realised that the problem is gone... after 7days i install the Black v1.2... i dunno what have i done, but i'm glad this problem is gone...

EDIT (again): Silly me... i just realize how i 'solve' this issue... Actually the problem didn't just go... the simcard go... well... i've change the simcard to provider for 3G access which i didn't have any contact on it!, that's why no double entry there... sorry...

On the previous sim, even the message in simcard also got shown in the messaging apps... not just contact... and also my outbox message (from simcard) displaying message with no sender...

Sooo...the problem still didn't solved... anybody have a solution?? (I wonder if only some of us get this as there's not many complaining about this issue..)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tavi:
BE1.2, contacts in sim and contacts, in textmessages --> double entries in "to:" field.. regedits do not help (showsim=0)... i hope that it't gone also in 7 days..doubt it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tugas2khas:
Sorry to make you feel this issue has been solve.. actually i have replace a simcard with no contact, and the time of writing, when i try to replicate the issue, it's gone... that what excites me and thought it is solved... :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
Someone has to know what is causing this...

helllppppp
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
I forgot to mention that this also does the same thing with my microsoft voice command...

it tells me that there are two contacts...

driving me crazy
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Halldor:
This was driving me nuts also. This is what I did. I copied all my SIM contacts to my contacts list on my device and then used PPCBckpContacts to backup ALL contacts. I then deleted all my SIM contacts and then the contacts from my device and then restored the backup of my contacts that was taken prior to the backup of ALL contacts that were copied to my device.

I decided to use this as my solution since I was not able to find any other solutions for this issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
That still didn't work for me...

I used PPCPim Backup and backed up my numbers. Deleted them from the phone and the SIM. Reloaded them from the backup back to my phone then copied them back to my SIM and still have the same issue...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Halldor:
Why don´t you ONLY restore to the device and not your sim? The problem lies with the contacts being in two locations SIM CARD/DEVICE and therefore the dreaded double whammy. I personally have no need to have my contacts on my SIM and the device.

Cheers,

Halldor
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tugas2khas:
The reason why we want to have contacts in the sim because sometimes, we swtich the sim with another one, usually my data sim didnot has contact on it, but on my normal sim... it would appear twice on the contact list...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] silverfox0214:
Dumb Question

For those with dups, did you check the "merge duplicates with outlook" option? If you didn't, this could be the problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tugas2khas:
it is not duplicate as in 'duplicate'... but my problem is, the contact/message on sim and on phone show up at the same time, hence duplicate... i'e applied the tweak to hide the sim content, but no luck.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moi123:
i also hv this prob - if any of u know how to fix pls let us know
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Halldor:
I really see this as a "user" annoyance based upon the setup you use. If you do swap sims then why do you need the contacts on the sim when they are on the device? I feel that you guys are making an issue of something plain and simple.......time to think outside of the box:D

p.s. It would have been nice if you could choose what "database" you want to use at any given time. I also have a Nokia 9500 and I like many of the features that it offers, I can choose between SIM or any other predefined databases that I create and not getting the contacts to show twice. Maybe we will see a "HIDE SIM CONTACTS" featur? Until then delete your SIM contacts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ahfunaki:
I could totally just erase all the contacts off of my sim and just keep them off of the phone, but here are the reasons I choose not to do that:

1 - If I damage my phone beyond repair, I would loose all my contacts.

2 - With all of the ROM changes I go through, I would have to remember to backup my contacts before every flash. And if I forget, that would suck for me.

3 - Whenever I get a new phone number I automatically save it to the SIM so I know it will be there when I change phones.

And I know I could just make a backup of my contacts to my computer, or my microSD card. But I've always had my contacts on both my SIM and my device and I've never had any problems until now.

This issue shouldn't be in the ROM. I've never had this issue with any of the WM5 ROM's I've used in the past. I'm just confused why it's happening in WM6.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Halldor:
1. You can backup your contacts with this program provided below and you will never need to worry about loosing your contacts again. Keep a backup on your storage card and pc. I installed this app on my storage card and I never REINSTALL it after a new flash. I simply use File Explorer and start the program from it´s directory and CHOOSE RESTORE and BINGO I got my contacts back!

2. Honestly! How often do we add new contacts? We flash more then we add contacts at least that is the case for me. Flash your phone and restore your contacts to the new ROM. Worst case scenario you forget to backup a contact or two. I make it a habit to create a contact backup after each new contact, this only takes 5 seconds and you should make this a habit also.

3. I have 4 different sims that I use. Iceland, o2UK, Sunrise Switzerland and Omnitel Lithuania. What I did was create myself in the contacts by having my first name in the NAME field and in the LAST NAME field I use the COUNTRY/SIM so I always know my numbers based upon what sim I happen to use.

If this reasoning does not clear this for you then I really do not know what you can do?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fone_fanatic:
I also have this issue and also choose NOT to remove my contacts from my sim. Several times i've had my battery die on me and i keep a spare phone in the glove in my car (or take it with me if i know i'm gonna be away from a plug for a long time). Anyways that spare phone is a crappy old nokia which has no phone memory so i need my sim contacts!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] silverfox0214:
Agreed

Have a Dash, charged and ready. If that's a no go, have a Samsung in the center console (right next to Pietro) for emergencies.

I'm considering writing a SIM backup/restore program, given that there are dups happening. I personally haven't experienced this, but I have VS 2005 and the WM 6 SDK, with some (not much) spare time to crack into this.

What format would everyone think would be easier? I was thinking XML, since it would copy off to the PC or storage card equally easily, and be readable with notepad.

The API is exposed in the SDK and I don't think it would be too tough to write.

Ideas/comments are welcomed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] matt300:
I had this problem on several contacts but I noticed that on each duplicate there was some very small difference such as a character in the name, a nickname, or an address. To fix it, I found the following procedure worked each time:

1. Sign out of messenger on the phone.

2. Delete the messenger contact in the phone while logged out.

3. Update the outlook contact in the phone so that all details match exactly with the windows live contact. Use another computer to check the windows live contact, not the phone.

4. Sync the phone with outlook.

5. Sign into messenger on the phone and and it will resync the contact list.

On step 5, just sign in to messenger instead of choosing the sync option from the Today screen (when I chose the sync option one time instead, it deleted the contact out of my messenger contact list). Hope this works for you.

TweakUI

Just putting the obvious out there (Sorry) ;)

You arent using LSVW TweakUI?

If so check a setting (under phone) Check that Show SIMcontacts is NOT ticked

Mine was and i had duplicate contacts orginally.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tugas2khas:
This is excatly what we need, an option to show/hide the SIMcontact. Just like nokia phone... ofcourse we'll use the outlook contact for all the operation, and to akses the simcontact we always a sim manager apps...

But the LSVW TweakUI that i have is v20070324, didn't have that option.... I'm using Dutty's ROM... can somebody pass the latest LSVW TweakUI?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fone_fanatic:
We're not experiencing duplicate contacts from windows live messenger contacts. We're experiencing duplicate contacts when putting someones name in to send them an SMS. One contact is from the phone and the other is showing from the SIM.

Tugas2khas, We can hide the sim contacts so they don't show in the contact list but they are still showing in the send sms drop down box.. see 1st post

Hey folks!

I'm following this guide. From the command lines on Updating the platform-tools, I get an error "please consider trying to update again without a package filter"

android.bat update sdk -u -t platform-tools,tools

Downloaded the latest SDK and drivers. after writing down recovery.img, system.img and boot.img, I'm unable to update via sideloading.

adb sideload update.zip

The recovery screen turns out "You need adb 1.0.32 or newer to sideload to this device." I've checked out the SDK and confirmed the "Android SDK Tools (24.0.2)" and "Android SDK Platform-tools (21)" have been updated, which is possibly the ADB and fastboot etc.Now what more does it require to get ADB updated.

I've already updated the platform tools, sdk tools from the package manager. Regarding the PATH variable, Please shed some light though. I'm no experianced under LINUX or it's distro's nor have much knowledge in CMD terminal either. I've located the (cd) path to where the android.bat is installed for the 1st command line operation below.

android.bat update sdk -u -t platform-tools,tools

How come the 1st update platform-tools command went out wrong? All command line operations/downloading and writing down under the fastboot menu went out smoothly, except this sideloading.

Thanks.

[G 2014 Themes and Apps] metpolds:
Caution:::: I have today (1-18-2015) heard on the rumor mill that Motorola have used a new binary in the 5.0.2 update, this binary affects the boot animation. In effect it may only allow animations made in an mp4 format to work and causes a system crash if using the old, tried and tested format of frames of jpg's or png's. This of course fits in with Motorola's own animations which are mp4's. I can't vouch for the fact that it may be possible to overcome this by changing permissions but it seems that the new binary will have to be installed. In view of the fact that all my animations up to now are jpg's and png's I would strongly advise you don't install them on a 5.0.2 upgrade. I hope I'm being over cautious but I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through the number of re-sets that I have had to do over the past few days.

I've made a couple of animations for the 2014 moto g so over the next couple of days I'll post them to this thread in case anyone is interested. The usual disclaimer applies i.e. I am not responsible if installing these files causes your house to blow up, your cat to run away or your wife,partner or friend leave you for the next door neighbor.

This first one is CIA themed so I have made a similar bootlogo file in case anyone wants to go the whole way! The two files are easily identifiable by the names.

The "Logo" file is a flashable zip using any custom recovery (TWRP - CWM - Philz).

The animation zip has to be placed manually using any file manager you like.

First - go to ..... /system/media ..... and rename the bootanimation which is there to avoid it being overwritten. You can add the word "old" or "bak" or anything you like.

Second - copy the CIA-Anim.zip file to the folder ...../system/media ..... and then rename it bootanimation.zip

These files will work with KK and Lollipop O/S's and with all versions of moto g 2014 edition.

The PNG file shows you the Logo ..... The GIF file gives you an idea of the animation.

At the moment I am holding off from posting any further anims. Before posting I always try out new anims on my own XT1064 to make certain they work and there is no possibility of bootlooping for other users. Since updating to 5.0.2 I have found problems installing new anims i.e. continuous bootlooping causing me several instances of having to factory reset and re-install the update. Until I can determine whether this is a fault on my phone or is caused by the 5.0.2 update I won't post any more. As a possible related issue, I have found that I can no longer make alterations to the "build.prop" file without causing a bootloop and crash.
