I was wondering if there are any AIM programs out there that use only sms? with out going online if thats possible , i dont rle know much about phones and stuff, or maybe a different program thats maybe faster or somehow better then the OZ messenger. thx in advance

My favorite IM program is Palringo. http://www.palringo.com

It connects to everything. It doesn't use up that much memory. It plays nicely if you want it to run all the time. You have to sign up with them, but I've gotten 0 emails from them and they work on the concept of freeware. Check it out.
[Wing, P4350 General] wyldstallyns2589:
i'm trying palringo, it seems like it will be nice, but it will not let me sign on to AIM. it says that i have been connecting and disconnecting too frequently. but i have never even signed on. every time i click on AIM then change my status to online it says logging in then that i've been connecting and disconnecting too frequently. any suggestions?
[Wing, P4350 General] mv3:
keep trying.. after 3 or 4 attempts, it should connect
[Wing, P4350 General] armoison:
palringo requires you to have a browser connection to be online.
[Wing, P4350 General] soccer_playa598:
sooo

does the free aim program on the wing run from the wifi network... or does it charge u on the edge network?? because i was using webmessenger on the wifi i think and wasnt sure if it was actually usuing it on the edge network... and i really dont wanna be charged for the edge network so can i jus use wifi whenever i wanna use aol instant messenger with a free program downloaded to my wing.. ?
[Wing, P4350 General] aron4588:
u dnt get charge for edge unless you u have a data plan. dnt listen to tmobile. their internet is not like other networks pay-for-use instead it get a data plan or get dnt get sh!t. i recommend getting tzones 5.99 dnt worry wat tmobile say about it (than i help you set it up so u can use it with the best software like im+ & aim 2.0 "offical aol software") pm me
[Wing, P4350 General] diabolical28:
i posted this but someone took it down what i said before is the OZ im suite that comes with the tmobile wing you can find it in the .cabs for wing thread i think just reinstall that .cab i use it for aim alone. it also offers icq and yahoo but i prefer to just use the text version of yahoo... All over a gprs connection which means no added charges ( if you have unlimited texts that is )

What are you guys opting to do in regards to these settings? I'm trying out the full power of the phone so I'm trying out running performance mode and the highest resolution screen settings. Not sure how battery will react - we'll see.

Any thoughts on how much impact it has running these settings vs. not?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
I ran yesterday at Max screen resolution but not full brightness and battery did not do to bad about 5 1/2 hours of SOT

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

I mean what's the point in having a phone with great resolution if you're not going to use it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] harveydent:
Running my phone at max resolution and the battery lasts me all day. I usually go with optimized performance because the phone's been chewing up everything I've thrown at it and I haven't seen the need for a boost yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
One reason that I can think of - not everything on the phone needs that amazing resolution, so why not save some battery life when the resolution is not needed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I think Tasker may be useful here. I'm guessing it could switch modes and resolutions on an app by app basis. I'll start tinkering.

I want to make an echo command with magisk on boot

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness

so that it is applied on boot automatically

how to do that ?

thanks in advance
[Magisk] pec0ra:
Just put your script in

/magisc/.core/service.d

and set execution permissions.

Since you want to edit sys files, you will need root permission. An example script would be (brightness.sh) :

#!/system/bin/sh
su -c 'echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness'

Note :

If you want to execute your script at another boot stage you should have a look at this
[Magisk] ToXiTe:
Can you tell what the -c flag in your example script is for?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tools.md#su

It's to use su directly in the command, basically.

Although in this case it's technically unnecessary since all Magisk boot scripts are run with superuser access.

Hello,

So I tried flashing lineage os 14.1. In order to do that, I had to flash a vendor. That went wrong and now I'm getting these errors. I've flashed back the system.img through twrp but doesn't boot as it requires the vendor to be reflashed. I'm assuming the /vendor and /product partitions are corrupted? Please tell me how to format them and flash the original vendor back.

Hi.

I have purchased an unlock code from samsungsimunlock but my phone is still SIM locked. They sent me code along with a link to an app to download called Network Unlock app. I ran the app, entered the code, get a message saying phone is perma unlocked but when I insert a non Vodafone SIM, the phone, not the app, asks me for the SIM unlock code.

EDIT: Phone details:

Locked to Vodafone UK

Galaxy S8 SM-G950F

Android 7.0

Baseband version: G950FXXU1AQH3

Knox 2.8

I had rooted my phone and as the instructions from SSU said to, I removed the root and returned the phone back to stock (as far as I know)

Can any one help with this please? Is the unlock possible after knox has been tripped?

I would really appreciate any help,

Thank you

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] kwstas 13:
Hello guys. Just upgrade from my old Z3 Compact to the X Compact , and everything is absolutely perfect with this phone.

What I've observed is , that, whenever I connect my phone to my pc (through USB cable) the option of 'Mass Storage Device" is missing. This was a function I was really used to using on my Z3 Compact. Is there any way I can bring it back?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] mains75:
That's very strange. Every time I plug my phone to my pc a menu appears to choose usb options. "charge only" or data tranfer etc.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
Having googled it seems Android has done away with option for whatever reason so your only option is to use an app.

This is what I see...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] kwstas 13:
This is what I see too.

So the only way to make mass storage happen again is get a 3rd party app, which needs root, and I don't want to unlock my bootloader for now.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] TheCrap:
There is no way to restore mass storage. It has been dropped around android 6 somewhere because it has the disadvantage that the mounted part cannot be used by the system meanwhile.

You have to deal with crappy, slow, low functioning MTP or use a wireless method
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] kwstas 13:
Seriously, the MTP sucks... I can't connect my SD card anywhere, and every time I want to do so, i need to pull the SIM card drawer off, which reboots my device, and always carry an SD adapter.... I wish an app that doesn't need root permission for Mass Strorage mode existed...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
I stumbled upon one custom rom made for chuwi and flashed it on my tablet. As devices are similar-ish, it booted but that was pretty much it because touchscreen is not working, and it seems like usb port does not work fully so i can't use mouse or keyboard to navigate.

i'll leave the link to forum where i found the rom if anybody's interested to tinker.

http://konstakang.com/devices/chuwi_vi10plus/CM12.1/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] biorpg:
My Predator 8 has actually been sitting with a Chuwi ROM on it for a few months, lol. Same non-functioning touchscreen and such. It doesn't seem like a straight-forward process to get the stock ROM back on it in this state, but I havn't really dug in too deep to find a round-about way. It certainly doesn't seem like a state it could be "stuck" in. It will boot to download mode, and show in device manager, but I havn't been able to get "fastboot devices" to see it yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
wait, i had no problems with flashing back stock rom. just booted into fastboot and flashed system and boot image
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
You can fix that by mixing that rom with Acer's Kernel source. Finally I have something to start working with, without having an very unstable system.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
can you get a bit more into detail about that mixing process? i might be onto something here
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
I can do that too. Ima start at 5.1.1. if that works, I can try 6.0/Remix. Just give me time. You can try that too. Google is you're friend.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
i don't know what to even google lol. tried googling for mixing different rom with different kernel but got nothing. or should i search for kernel porting?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Just throw the project to an end. It would be almost impossible to do that. I asked an rom dev. What is possible is unlocking grub, which you can use to install windows, remix os, etc
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
tried installing windows, linux and android x86. neither of them works because tablet cuts power to usb in the middle of booting from usb stick.

but i don't know, maybe i need to unlock grub or something. i already unlocked bootloader and disabled security boot but still nothing
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Lol how did you boot from usb stick. Mbe I can fix it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
that is the simpest part, actually. download ubuntu/windows/android-x86 and make bootable usb stick from iso file. then, when turning on the tablet press alt+e to enter bios, go to boot manager and try to boot. with linux, i got to the ubuntu loading dots. with windows i get acpi bios error or the first screen for choosing language but can't do anything because touchscreen is not working and power from usb is cut off. even tried with powered usb hub - nada.

i know that [MENTION=4057843]arjaylzo[/MENTION] talked about how he booted up some custom linux build with custom grub, but he never got into the details about that
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Mbe I have an solution. Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
that would be nice. i even succeeded to compille my own kernel but wifi and bt arent working. dang.

i'll try and install refind, maybe that will work for booting
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
Nope. No custom compiling. On mine with my fix, Android x86 booted

could you share that fix, i'd like to try booting android x86. if that's ok with you

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:

Nah. It disables usb 3 completely and because of this, you cannot boot to bios. So you would have to reflash system. Nice

What Linux error? Like can't find medium containing a live image?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
most of the settings have little to no impact on tablet. but s5 charging can **** your bios for good. anything related to battery can **** you nicely.

and yeah, don't change anything about graphics. seems like giving more ram to integrated graphics card doesn't do anything in terms of performance.

and for the linux errors... yeah it's something like that and stdin i/o error or something similar
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
So, I just read all the threads. We need the drivers and include them in WINpe environment. And install something like refind. I can do that, but not natively. You would have to go to the bios again...

" tablet cuts power to usb in the middle of booting from usb stick."

The Slimport Chip is not Initialize by the Boot.efi (grub efi) unleess you load the original BOOTIA.efi but that only works for the Default ROM.

I have tried Removing the Slimport Chip and Put a Jumper into the Input to Output Pin, but my Board shutsdown :D after a few minutes, but yes the jumper works, I just didn't had enough Higher Values of resistors use for the Jumpers.

North-Bridge (USB) Data IO -----> USB Port (continous Boot with no ACPI error, I got into as far as re-partioning the Flash Chip, but unit shutsdown at 82% partioning) I looked into the Slimport Chip Pinout to do it.

" i got to the ubuntu loading dots. with windows i get acpi bios "

"

Go to Bios and Change ACPI Ver to 4.0 or lower

" on ubuntu i got something like failed to connect to PHY 0 or similar "

You have to set "nomodset" and Load the ISO image to Memory, it is totally should be an un-attended Linux install. I got into the X-screen using Linuxium, Wifi and BT works, but NO USB KB or Touchscreen

Quote: p8tgames

" Windows Boot manager error code 0xc00000185

Info: The boot configuration Data for your pc is missing or corrupted "

ACPI error and USB no Power issue. The WinPE loader fails to load the Installation Files in the USB.

Quote: dvijetrecine

"and i'll try changing bootloader to refind or grub, maybe then there'll be more success with booting. "

Inside the BOOTLOADER.IMG are the BOOTIA.efi. I have Bootloader.img which has GRUB and WIndows, but to note "The KB or USB Works" only on Grub env, but not until you load the Kernel for Linux and WinPE for windows. Blame the SlimPort Chip. It bridges the Main USB Chip and the USB Port.

QUote: p8tgames

Well ****ed up my bios. It just vibrates when turning on

Heheh, I know that Feeling... Check my Previous Post, we have a HARD Way of resetting it using a Jumper Wire.

but s5 charging can **** your bios for good,

PLEASE Refrain from Changing BIOS settings in POWER, especially Charging part and Battery Emulattion/Fake Batt, your Unit will forever rest in piece if you change any of these.

We need the drivers and include them in WINpe environment.

Yes, that is doable, I have created other WINPE images for several Laptop models that enables me to use as PORTABLE OS. For as long as the Drives are available for Download.

The first Drive we would need is for the Slimport Chip. I have been searching for months, and no, it's not available for DL. I've got the DataSheet but no Software Driver.

I ended up Having 2 BrandNew (1 week old) Predator Tablet as Paperwight.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
[MENTION=4057843]arjaylzo[/MENTION], there is slimport module in acer's kernel source code, can we use that?

and in kernel config i tried to disable slimport and it booted fine in android but still it won't boot anything else from usb stick.

we need to make aosp rom and custom kernel but i'm total beginner at this stuff. tried to make aosp rom by following instructions that acer gave, but i wasn't able to boot it. seems like some modules are missing and i don't know how and from where to add them
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arjaylzo:
Not sure about the Slimport Module from their Source Code, I had the Source Code too but I can't compile the Mod into The Llinux.

Perhaps, a more advance Linux User can Compile and setup a bootable USB LInux installer. Linux I bet is the best Route for the Tablet. Also, 3 out of 5 Acer devices I had, their source code generates a lot of errors during compilation. Sorry, but can't help towards porting a new Rom for the Dev. I've only are able to Root my Tablet and installed Linux emulator in it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvijetrecine:
in my first post i added link to a site which has generic device tree for cherry trail devices. is it worth a shot to try and add our drivers to that source code and compile?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p8tgames:
We already have everything we need. Just the touchscreen and the SlimPort chip. I asked an rom dev, he can't find anything related to it. So no luck. I wrote the Acer and SlimPort support for Open source / drivers. We will have to wait...

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

How hard is it to do that? Do you think this can be done using a switch to change the mode like host-non host?

How hard would it be?

(Btw, on the Boot mgr error, usb power did NOT cut off. It just showed the screen. I was able to use the keyboard while the error was present. )
