[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SQBI:
Hi all,

I have a car, which has a windscreen with additional anti-UV layer (violet-like, when looking at it from the outside). Unfortunately thus windscreen successfully restricts any kind of radio transmission (eg. GPS signal, anti-radar detection, etc.). I've bought a standalone GPS bluetooth receiver (Nokia LD-3W), this sort of devices has much better signal reception than internal one. It can receive signal indoor, no matter which floor I am on. My plan was to put it at the back of my car, in the windowed trunk. And then, Houston, we have a problem...

Android does not support external GPS receivers by itself. You have to download a bluetooth gps app from the GP (one of the best is called Bluetooth GPS). Turn bloetooth on, turn on mock location in programming options (you have to, because internal GPS will still be on; turning of locations in android disconnects from the external GPS), turn mock GPS in the Bluetooth GPS app, and then, theoretically, you can use your external GPS. Yes, it works, but...

Many, many apps have a check for the mock location and refuse to work with these settings... Some navigations, all radar-warners used in my country, family locators and many more.

I'm eagerly looking for a way to patch an app to disable this check (Lucky Patcher?) or any other way to solve this problem.

Thanks,

SQBI
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LIX666:
Hello guys, I am in desperate need for replacement screen for korean s4 SHV-E330S. I already contacted korean Samsung for help regarding acquiring original display and whether it is compatible with GT-I9506 but after seeing a picture of GT-I9506 display I dont think they are compatible at all. Does anyone know where can I obtain a replacement screen strictly for SHV-E330S?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LIX666:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] socialsciencebball:
I purchased an HDX 7 off of Amazon. Unfortunately, I was unaware that this device would update out of the box so I allowed it to as I was over eager to mess around with it.

I am having difficulty finding clarity on how to root. I am currently running OS 4.5.3.

Is there a simple step by step guide out there for this version. It is difficult narrow down information through these many threads. Please excuse my ignorance, I am just looking for some clarity.

Thanks! :good:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
You can't root 4.5.3 directly but you can rollback to 3.2.8 and optionally upgrade to 4.5.2. Both are rootable. Staying at 3.2.8 offers flexibility to install Safestrap and run the Nexus rom if you don't care for Fire OS. Gapps can be installing on either with vary degrees of effort/success although it seems easier on 3.2.8. Nexus is a great option if you don't mind JB roots. Very stable with a near AOSP experience. Unfortunately, other roms (eg: CM11/CM12) are not an option at present as the bootloader can not be unlocked on 3.2.8/4.5.2.

Start here if you want to rollback. As always, do your research up front and proceed carefully as Kindles (HDX in particular) are easy to brick with limited recovery options. The last point can not be over emphasized! You won't find any step-by-step guides but folks are willing to help with specific questions if you have done your homework.

I would like to thank the following in help (directly and indirectly) with Crossbow Reloaded:

Faria for providing both the base rom and the ROM Kitchen that I used to "cook" this ROM.

Funman for his fantastic PDF document on using the ROM Kitchen and for answering questions and fixing bugs in packages I hastily put together

ADB100 for finding and fixing some bugs in packages I worked on

Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz

Many others here that provided information, tips, and suggestions that I used when putting this together

While I'm releasing this, I fully realize this is really just a repackaging of the Faria Vanilla ROM that is included in Faria's ROM Kitchen. Other than a couple of slight modifications, I don't take credit for a full "cooking". This is more like taking a pre-packaged dinner, and adding the spices and herbs that I wanted for my taste buds. Believe me, this was not that hard to do, and I did not spend the countless hours that full blown chefs spend in providing amazing base roms. So a HUGE thanks goes to the REAL chefs that support our community!

This post will be where I place extra files to add to / enhance / fix this ROM

Attached is the cab file for Cingular users to setup GPRS and MMS.

For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a post by FZZF that has info for your setup of GPRS and MMS:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1250747&postcount=408

For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

For G4 users, I've attached a zip file with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this. Before anyone asks, yes, the htc logo one is grainy. I had to do that due to size limitations of the file. I tried for a couple of hours to get a nicer version to work but it wouldn't display correctly (seems to have to be pretty low res / non-complex)

Nice..

I'm glad you got it done:)

Its good to have a "fully loaded", stable, WM6 out there. And you've likely saved lots of people lots of time and frustration by pre-cooking it for them. Especially first time upgraders, or those coming from faria's 3.3 rom.

rom

nice work mate :)

is this the wm6 faria version with the extra OEM packages from the other thread ?

as i installed them i encountered an error with NoData, an unexpected...

this could be coz i dont have a data connection yet..

it also wouldnt connect anymore to my activesync 4.5.. solved this by

reinstalling the wizard-driver in my pc.

i was wondering if i need anything else added if i wish to add some cab files

for preinstalling my apps..

maybe we can setup some coorperation to make the perfect rom for all of us.

with the help of faria's romkitchen v2 it be the best solution there is..

there is need for graphics, for OEM packages, extended roms and testing

since i read a lot and flashed about 35 phones now i can probably be of use
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kison:
Thanks man....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] techlogik:
Nice work, this is almost the same as I end up customizing mine to once I flash..I just add Today'sAgenda and do some tweaks to move mail and attachments to SD and away I go.

I think I will give this a try.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Feel free if you want. Provide me with a direct link and I'll update the first post.

This is the base rom provided by Faria in his ROM Kitchen V2. Only changes I made directly to the ROM was in putting in the 10 Button CommManager, and the 3rd splash screen. Beyond that its that straight base rom, and then the packages I released (and a couple I didn't release) in the Share the packages thread. NoData works fine for me, but if you don't have any data sources setup then yeah, it may crash (never tried that).

This isn't a base rom, If you want to preinstall your own apps, you would need to cook your own version of this rom (or post the packages and I'll consider them for a new release that might come out.

Yeah the Share the Packages thread was aimed at just that, to allow people to share rom kitchen packages so we can all easily build what we see as the perfect rom. Unfortunately, I've been the only one releasing anything in that thread.

Speaking of graphics, I just realized I left out all of the themes I was going to put into this rom. Ah well... I guess a reason for another version of this. ;)

Thanks... This is the base I tend to immediately put on all of my roms after I flash to a new version, so I decided to just get it all inside a rom, and the Faria Vanilla was working VERY well for me.

I personally don't use TodayAgenda (I've had issues with it in the past, and I have a paid copy of PocketBreeze that I use instead). I really wanted to get WeatherPanel in here, but finally decided against it. Instead I'll post an updated cab for it (fixes the Moon phase through 2008) and a copy of the files for the Chemeleon-240-QVGA theme, and WeatherPilot (so you can do one handed navigation of WeatherPanel).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anothersmith:
@Mfrazz, Thanks for kicking this out to the masses, I'm running Faria beta Vanilla and haven't found the time to master the RK and cook my own. I appreciate you taking the time to make the kitchen easier for the not so technical and for sharing your ROM. Looking forward to future version and the weather panel cab with skins and all...that progy looks cool.

Not a bug specific to this ROM...I have seen it in others.....

In the address book...I select a contact and it jumps to another contact...

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm mentioning it here because this is the ROM I'm currently using. If so...does anyone have a fix?

It doesn't happen all the time but if I have to give it a percentage on how often it happens, I would have to say 75%.

Clean stable ROM...way to go. I got all my stuff loaded & I have 27mb of storage still left. I normally would have around 19-20mb with other ROMs. I guess I can dowload SKtools without worry of storage space. :D

Thanks guys........

Do you still have the Cingular screen after installing my rom? Oh, I guess if you have a G4 you didn't flash so you would have that. I can provide the boot splash screens for this rom if you want (splash only so it would be safe for G4).

Sure I'll post the cab for this shortly in that extras post on the first page. Stay tuned.

I can't say that I've seen that on any of the WM6 roms I've tried, but then I primarily use ContactBreeze and Pocket Informant to access my contacts so hardly ever use the built in one.

Thanks. I just installed it on a Friend's phone and your post reminded me I need to get a screenshot of the memory screen. I'll update teh first post, but here's what I show after doing the install and before loading anything else:

Storage:

Total: 47.46MB

In Use: 4.37MB

Free: 43.09MB

Program:

Total: 49.95MB

In Use: 23.34MB

Free: 26.61MB

Battery status should be (on initial install) right at the bottom of your Today Screen. Its the plugin with the battery or plug icon on the left, and it should show your carrier name and then 195MHz on the right. You configure it by clicking and holding the icon on the left, or go to Start > Settings > Today and under the items tab click on BatteryStatus and then click on options.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Yes, Smartskey is in the rom and is enabled by default (just remove the smartskey.lnk file in \Windows\Startup to turn it off after the next soft reset). But its setup with DPAD=0 in the smartskey.ini file.

Hitting hang up button disconnects GPRS connection

I have used numerous roms and when i want to minimize an application, i just hit the hangup button. Sith faria's rom, wm5 or wm6 is that if I'm connected via GPRS, it disconnects me instead of minimizing the application. Usually from other roms, I have to hold the hangup button longer to disconnect GPRS. Do you know the fix?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Not sure what happened to your contacts. Take a backup with PIM Backup and do a soft reset and see if it happens again. I've done TONS of soft resets and haven't lost contacts (yet). So could be a bad flash or something too.

As for 2 RegEditors? Well, the Faria Kitchen comes with dotFred's TaskManager, which has a Registry Editor in it (thats teh pink icon one). Its really a nice RegEditor in some ways, but personally, I have a softspot for PHM RegEdit, so I put that in there too. Since I do use TaskManager for other things, I decided not to remove the link as I'm sure some prefer it over PHM's. For me I like the Export and Import ability of PHM as it gives me the exact syntax needed to make .rgu files for cooking roms (I haven't figured out how to get TaskManager's to do that so I tend not to use it). IF you don't like having two of them, then just delete the link for the one you don't want in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories folder :) (Believe me, I thought about removing the link to the dotFred one before releasing this but decicded I'd give both links and let people decide which they prefer).

I'll upload it and post it to the 3rd post of this thread shortly...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Off hand, no. I think I've seen a registry tweak posted (GPRS Always on or something, I think its in the Wiki) but have never tried this myself. And yes, this is a behavior of the Faria roms. If we can find a fix, I'll make note of it to tweak it in the next release.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
hey mfrazzz, so far, so good

just a few issues, although i think they may be specifically related to my phone, not the ROM

1) NoData gives me an error when i try to run it, saying

"noData.exe

NullReferenceException

at NoData.[square. square?]()

at NoData.[]()

at system.windows.forms.form.onload()

at system.windows.forms.form._setvisiblenotify()

at system.windows.forms.control.set_visible()

at system.windows.forms.application.run()

at NoData.[].()

How can this be happening on the Xplore and the Core roms .. :confused: I don't have the modaco nodata installed ....wierd...

Unless ... hmm, you installed this onto my rom and it gave you the same error ?

Then ...from what I read the nodata.exe only works for some carriers, not all all of them...that would be the reason .... just guessing

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Did you flash to an official rom (like T-Mobile 2.26) before installing this one? One thing that definetly impacts battery life is if your extended rom has been corrupted. Flashing an official rom will fix that.

Arrrgh! I didn't check that box (its not installed by default by the ROM Kitchen)... Next update I guess... Does this mean you got the rom installed (and did you do it from VIsta or an XP computer)?
