[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
AT&T and Verizon (VZW?) have locked bootloader.

Make sure it is a genuine S4 and not a fake one. I guess the only way to spot one is too take a good look at the software.

Download an app to display hardware info if you can. That way you can make sure it has the right parts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Even better, try to get into download mode and read the device's model number. If you're able to get into download mode, the S4 is genuine. But GDReaper's advice to get a hardware app like Samsung Info is a good one. There are plenty of unscrupulous sellers out there who will take a riffbox, convert an AT&T S4 into an I9500 or I9505 by transferring the IMEI from a dead I9500/9505 to the AT&T S4 (with bad IMEI), then try and hide the origin of the S4 by installing European firmware. The purchaser wonders why things aren't working right, and we end up having to tell them what they really bought.

If you're in the UK, you want an I9505 or the Black Edition variant. None of the I9505 devices have locked bootloaders, so you'll have no worries about modding the hell out of the phone unlike here in the US. For best results, you want to go through Swappa, because of Swappa's guarantees against shenanigans.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xOutcasTx:
Thanks i was going to buy it from cash converters as it is close and i can actually check out the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you can check out the phone, that's even better. Most of the time I recommend Swappa because here in the US, other than in pawn shops and Game Stop, there really aren't places that sell used devices.

hi all

can anyone tell me what the maximum size for a sd-card card and a qtek 2020 is? is it possible to use 4gig (or even 8gig) cards?

thank you

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] SaBo:
You can use up to 4 GB SD cards, not SDHC.

8 GB cards are always SDHC and therefore not compatible.

Q&A for SailFishOS on the TouchPad

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for SailFishOS on the TouchPad. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John944S2:
Installation questions

Hello,

I want to say thank you for porting Sailfish to the HP Touchpad :good:. Soon after I saw this thread, I ordered a used device from ebay (73€). As I am now waiting for the delivery, I am preparing myself to get Sailfish to the device.

I found a guide to get CM 11 to the device on rootzwiki from "RolandDeschain79" (as I am new, I can't post links here).

In step 5b where you have to copy the CM11 files to the "ttinstall" folder of the device, what files exactly do I have to put there? I have two zip files from the first post in this thread (Cm11 and Sailfish).

Is it OK to first copy the extracted CM11 archive to the ttinstall folder and then flash android first?

How do I proceed after that?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
TPToolBox is for installing Android only. You'll have to use the specific instructions in the Sailfish thread for anything else. I know nothing about Sailfish, so that's about all I can help you with.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John944S2:
​

OK, thank you for replying. Can you tell me, if I have to extract the zip file before copying to the folder on the device?

I still hope, someone who has done the complete procedure could answer to my questions.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
No unzipping, leave the files as they are. That's typical for most all of the flashing you will do.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John944S2:
Ok, thank you. That was a missing part of the puzzle for me.

I think I now have a clue how to proceed with the flashing procedure.

It's quite challenging to find all of the informations across the web to get Sailfish to the Touchpad. Since flashing an operating system to a device is always a sensible act, I don't want to do anything wrong (and eventually brick the Touchpad :().

When I have my Touchpad and everything works out OK with Sailfish, I will do a small guide for other beginners (like me).
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
Can anyone with kernel knowledge and linux knowledge help me pack the ramdisk folder

i want the ramdisk.cpio file and then

the boot.img

my linux partition is corrupt so i can't do it

if anyone could help? i would provide the files
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
if your linux is corrupt google for android image kitchen and use that

btw if you build you got ramdisk.cpio dont you??
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
I tried using android kitchen but the cpio doesnot get properly built and thus kernel doesnot boot :/

And i get the cpio but i need to open it up as i have to do some changes in it

So if you could just pack the cpio file only maybe ?
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
And i am not building a kernel i am actually porting rom so i need to perform kernel level changes but android kitchen won't pack the cpio properly so if you could just pack the cpio only?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
ok send me....
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
http://d-h.st/UbBv

here is the boot extracted folder

which is having the ramdisk folder in sbin

you have to covert that folder into ramdisk.cpio

and if you have any other xperia L kk kernel compare the permissions of that cpio file with them.i guess the permissions also effect the booting

also i can provide you the files i edited if you can somewhat replace them directly inside the cpio without extracting it? :\

becuase the permissions are the main issue i am getting :\

EDIT:

Here are the files i have edited basically

init.rc and init.environ.rc

if you find it easier you can also replace both the files in any kk kernel

http://d-h.st/m6ix

http://d-h.st/Tb0j

see whatever suits you better or is easier for you :)

thankyou :)
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
ok best would be to send me the git link of sourcecode.... and your changes to merge.... so i can build from source
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
well the changes i made are in the init.rc and init.environ.rc files

both the files are atached above

here is varun's source

https://github.com/varunchitre15/android_kernel_sony_msm8930/tree/cm-11.0
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
ok will build after syncing.... can take a while
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
sure and thankyou :)

btw the specific changes in the files are

add this to end of init.rc

#service for shelld
service shelld /system/xbin/shelld
class main

#service for su
service su_daemon /system/xbin/su --daemon
class main
oneshot

service lbesec /system/xbin/lbesec
class main
oneshot

and change this line in init.environ.rc

export BOOTCLASSPATH /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/conscrypt.jar:/system/framework/okhttp.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/telephony-common.jar:/system/framework/voip-common.jar:/system/framework/mms-common.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar:/system/framework/webviewchromium.jar:/system/framework/telephony-msim.jar:/system/framework/qcmediaplayer.jar:/data/app/com.miui.sdk-1.apk:/data/app/com.miui.sdk-2.apk:/system/app/miui.apk:/data/app/com.miui.framework-1.apk:/data/app/com.miui.framework-2.apk:/system/app/MiuiFramework.apk
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
im already snycing and will build it....BUT when i started sync i saw i still got a project left in sync.... approximiated time : 4hours.... so dont await an answer before
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
Sure take your time..i have listed the specific changes as well :)
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
so have synced it.... now please give me the build config....

and btw i cant find those init files in source...where is it placed??
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
inside the ramdisk folder most probably

though i have very less knowledge about source building :P

but it should be present in the ramdisk/sbin/ramdisk.cpio

here will be the 2 files

edit them then build the .cpio and then build the kernel
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
bro...thats not source files... those files are already builded ones that will be created .... but ok give me the whole "builded" kernel and i will do what you want....
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
the first link i gave you has all the files

you just need to make a cpio of the ramdisk folder in it

and then repack the boot.img
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
hope that one will boot......are you trying to porting something?

(MuiUi?)

www.sdtbarbarossa.bplaced.net your file is called "rapacked.rar" (available in ~5min .....damn upload speed^^)

Edit: up^^
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
Yes i am porting miui

And once the kernel issues are gone it won't be difficult porting it :)
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
cool :) the ramdisk.cpio you can find in the ramdisk.cpio.gz <<< you have to extract that
[Sony Xperia L] AlphaBeta:
well you din't pack it correctly

firstly ramdisk.cpio need not contain sbin and other folders

it should only have ramdisk folder contents

and the ramdisk folder directory should also not be present

see the image attached

ramdisk.cpio should just have the contents of ramdisk folder only

not even the directory

so that as soon we open the cpio file

we get all that is shown in image

the link i gave you move inside sbin/ramdisk/

now pack all the content present here in ramdisk.cpio not the rest :)

just use that ramdisk folder

here use this link

extract it and it will contain just the ramdisk folder

now put the files in the ramdisk folder in cpio file

http://d-h.st/qNKV

ok!

I've searched around for this on here and other sites but couldn't find an answer, if this is some sort of repost I apologize in advance. I'm running 4.4.4 with xposed and gravity box on my Nexus 5. I really liked to old holo theme so I changed both my navbutton and status bar colours to #33b5e5. The clock, wifi, network signal, and battery all changed to the desired colour but certain items like for example location, the downloading icon, and the notifications to update from the Google Play store are still white. Is there any way to change these as well? It looks a little off when some are blue and some are white.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alinawazkhan:
I bought a nexus 4 quite recently and the battery was actually quite fine. But recently, it started dying at random levels like around 30-40%. Today i charged it full to 100 and then rebooted to recovery which showed a 31% level. On restarting the system too showed 31%. I charged it again and repeated the process but it keeps returning to 31. Whats going on here? Attached is the battery graph showing severe loss of charge at every restart.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mashed_Potatoes:
Brand new or used? The battery has a short lifespan, so if it has been used by someone for more than a year theres a big chance it's time to change it.

I've bought my N4 brand new in February 2014 and the battery is definitely much weaker. With light usage i get from 7am till bed time with less than 35%. I lose a lot of it on standby.

Hey, some backround story. I've been having no problem whatsoever for past year and half, but today It was time for a new rom.

Last time I successfully plugged htc to pc was around month ago, I have no idea what could cause this I have tried different cables and computers with drivers also.

I've dropped my phones once or twice during that month but it is still charging battery.

[Java for Android App Development] javabiker:
The app I'm developing has a number of master-detail scenarios using the standard design-pattern. In a detail activity I need to indicate to the listview activity that an update/delete has occurred. This so that I can update the list using the adapter's setNotifyChange method. The list activity uses a callback to its parent activity where a decision is made about type of device ie; Is it a 'twoPane' scenario? This activity then calls the Fragment passing a reference to the selected row to the detail activity so it can be updated/deleted. I've tried creating a callback from this detail activity to the listview activity but this doesn't work. I assume that is because the detail activity was not invoked directly from the list activity, but from the activity containing the device decision. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. but does anyone have any suggestions for a solution.

Thanks for any help.
[Java for Android App Development] javabiker:
After thinking more about this problem I came to the idea that creating a callback path thru the various classes involved was worth trying. Will publish the results.

Info on Included Apps

MobileJustice v0.8

MobileJustice is an Anti-theft app that you can configure on your phone. Just go to Start > Programs > Accessories and click on the MJConfig icon (first time in you will get a message that there isn't a config file, just click ok and it will be created). To us this, check the Enabled box, then click Add on the Allowed line. You can then setup your SIM card as an authorized one, and add other SIM cards IMSI numbers if you use more than one. Next click on Add next to Report to: and setup an SMS number (wife, friend, colleague) where you want the text message to go to if an unauthorized SIM is put into your phone. You can add multiple SMS numbers if you want. At this point, your phone will now be setup so that if an unauthorized sim is put in it, then it will send an SMS (with no record of it being sent) to your Report To list on the next boot (you can test this by not setting up (or removing) the Allowed and then doing a soft reset).

For more advanced, you can turn on the Disp MsgBox at the top and then put in some text in the MsgBox text line. This will pop up a Message box on the screen of the phone after a boot, if an unknown sim is in the phone.

You can also enable RMon (bottom half of the screen), put in a pass phrase, and then turn on MsgBox (GPS and LocCall do not work on Wizards, and the other options haven't been implemented in this version). By doing this, you can now send an SMS to your phone in the following format:

+m passphrase message

Rmon will intercept the sms message (so it will not show up as a received message), and if the passphrase matches the one you put in the configuration, then it will pop up a message box on the phone with your message in it (so you can secretly send messages to the thief to possibly intimediate them (or whatever).

The project page for MobileJustice is located at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/
