wvga themes in xperia

I'm trying to build a wvga theme for xperia. I have found that this device have some strange behaviour with these themes.

I'll put here all my remarks and observations after all tried tests.

1. Xperia does support *_water_480_800 and 800_480. For example, the downloadable themes from sonyericssoncom "fun and downloads" (created by nefastudio) are in this format and working.

2. The *.tsk created with themegence in this wvga format are not working on xperia. The files are not copied, and the system does not apply the registry settings.

3. The *.tsk files created with themegence in custom format, 800x480 (with only portrait mode available) are working, they contains only stwater.gif/tdywater.gif files.

4. The *.cab->*.tsk files created with cabwiz (using the themegence inf) are working if i put different sizes in filenames.

So, if i have 2 equal packages files, with only this difference in inf file:

package 1:

[CopierVersDir00] ; (%CE2% : \Windows)
"tdywater_480_640.png",
"stwater_480_640.png",
"tdywater_640_480.png",
"stwater_640_480.png",

package 2:

[CopierVersDir00] ; (%CE2% : \Windows)
"tdywater_480_800.png",
"stwater_480_800.png",
"tdywater_800_480.png",
"stwater_800_480.png",

if i build these 2 packages, the package 1 *will* install (files copied, reg-settings added), but the package 2 not (files not copied, reg not added).

Anyway, the package 1 installs, changes toolbar colors, etc, but the bg image does not show, because of wrong sizes.

This is very strange, because if i'm trying to extract inf from the working nefastudio themes, i see the same code as from package 2.

The other strage thing is this: if i install package 1 (which does work, but it does not set the bg image because of 480x640 instead of 480x800), and i change with activesync the filenames in \windows, modifying them to right sizez (480x800 and 800x480) the theme finally works as expected.

I have opened with a hex editor the working nefastudio tsk, and the rebuilded one with same params (package 2), and i see only a few differences in the header, and a block with the sign code, for the rest the files look the same.

In conclusion: if you build (with cabwiz, themegen) a tsk with 480x800 filenames it will not work, despite of the fact that they are supported. It will work with 480x640 after renaming them directly on the device. The real image size does not matter.

I hope that BenThon have some explanation for this, personally now i am really stuck at this nonsense :)

I'm using ThemeGenCE 2.6. I followed the step to generate themes (named Ocean & Night) for WM6.1 WVGA device. When I tested them on Device Emulator. They didn't show the theme but only changed the background color. Appreciate your help. Below are the themes I generated:

problem to save

Hi,

Your program is very good, but I can't save a tsk file. (see picture). What is wrong or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BenThon:
Maybe you choosed a theme with different images for portrait and landscape. Button for saving images is greyed because all images are not defined for the kind of theme chosen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OMGWTFBBQLOL:
Hi BenThon,

I've also an Xperia X1 here. I'm trying to create some WVGA themes for this device, but it doesn't seem to work.

I've tried your attached *.tsk files, but those don't work. The theme is applied without any problems, but nothing changes. The bars are going grey and background-color is set to a type of green.

I've also tried to modify the standard *.tsk files from Xperia (black theme). But the results are the same as in previous.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much for this build Kato-san.

I had been using it for a couple of weeks as daily driver and it is very solid (bug-wise) and fluid.

It may need improving the power consumption. In fully standby, it is taking about 4% of the battery (150-200mAh), which I think it a bit high. I would be expecting something around 15-20mAh.

In any of the cases, thanks a lot. I really love it.

Hello, I found two problems in your ROM. The first one to open the multitasking interface in the application will cause a freeze or even the current program is unresponsive. The second is that you cannot open the application details by clicking the application icon in the multitasking interface.

Hi,

If I install any Android 11 rom including Miui EU weekly latest build or any other ASOP Android 11 rom the Wifi will not turn on.

I tried clean install, format data with no luck. If I go back to Miui EU stable Android 10 Wifi is fine.

Is this a known issue? I couldn't find anything. Is there a patch? Thank you for your feedback.

If you got the origin persist.img you can restore only this and try again the ROM.

If you haven't the origin then widevine l1 seems to be no more possible if you flash another persist. But for the Rom it should work (widevine l3)

So after updating the phone to miui 11, the file transfer mtp using USB was not working...

Tried everything, installing drivers, changing pc, cable. lit every possible thing...

Finally decided to flash an older version of rom.

it was successful, but still, usb file transfer was not working.

So, thought to install custom rom, and for that, i installed twrp, and by mistake, i cleaned everything including the system.

now, my phone got dead. but still, fastboot bootloader mode was working, So, I tried a different bunch of commands that I found over internet. but nothing worked.

So, again I flashed the stock rom using mi tool, and it broke the last working thing also(fastboot screen).. and my phone stuck in a loop. it just vibrates and turns on-off without any indication on-screen(no Mi logo, no charging light, nothing)...

at last, tried EDL mode, but still no luck, i tried different version of stock rom using EDL mode also. nothing working....

Need help to fix this phone.

[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Pain-N-Panic:
Hello fellow 6t users!

This phone has served me well for a long time now. Only issue Im having now is the battery life is crap, to be expected after heavy use for a few years. I ordered a replacement battery from iFixIt for 20 bucks. I already replaced the back glass about a year ago and I've done phone repairs in the past so the process itself isn't intimidating since I have the right tools. I use to be able to get 8hrs or more of SOT, I average about 4 hours now. Checking the battery health at /sys/class/power_supply/bms/battery_health, my battery is at 76% compared to it's original state. I was planning on the op9 pro, but I had some home repairs come up that's going to put me back about 10k so I figured I'd spend 20-40 bucks on elongating the usability of my phone. I also purchased another back glass replacement in case I crack my current one during the repair. It only cost me 17 bucks on Amazon.

The point of this thread is to let anyone know in my situation if it's worth to replace the old jacked up battery in their 6t instead of shelling out cash for a new phone.

I'll update the thread when the new battery is installed and let you guys know if it's worth it!
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] It_ler:
IMO ... if your phone is still working fine (except for the battery) and you are happy with it, you will never get a better (new) device for 20,- bucks. So go for the battery replacement (y)
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Pain-N-Panic:
Agreed! Just hoping the new battery will bring back the epic SOT I used to squeeze out of this thing.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] TheQuarterMile:
I also recently got my battery replaced by Oneplus and I can say that the battery life is like how it was when the phone was brand new. With a similar usage pattern I'm ending the day with 30-40% battery remaining with around 6-7hrs SOT. Would definitely recommend to go for it.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Riddle5:
I also bought a battery in ifixit and I wait for your results to make the change
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] rogerrulez:

[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Riddle5:
Thank you very much for the update, currently I get about 5:30 hours of screen, but I want to see how it goes for you, I know that each use is different but in the same way I want to know how you are doing
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Pain-N-Panic:
I'm lucky if I can get 5hrs of screen on time. My phone is currently at 38% with 2hrs and 20 minutes of SOT lol
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] blackhawk:
Lots of issues with the newer phones and Android 10/11... 3 strikes and a lot of dropped balls. Perhaps the latter half of this year will be better but I doubt it.

If your device serves you well and fullfills it's mission than a battery replacement is a homerun.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Pain-N-Panic:
Op6t is still a powerhouse of a phone. Battery life just sucks right now. Hopefully the swap will be worth it. I'll be doing it later today at some point and report back

[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] blackhawk:
Hope you're making an uneventful recovery. The smell and/or taste thing may take a few weeks or months to return to normal. Don't rush it for the first week or whatever it takes after you're feeling better. The body has tremendous healing capacity if you give it the rest it needs😊

Yeah I think that was a bit $teep.

It was $67 plus a C port PCB (which I haven't yet recieved) for my Note 10+.

I saw how hard it was to replace the 10+'s battery. It's rated as one of the more difficult... meh. I wasn't impressed.

I can do it better myself... so next time I will.

The goofball didn't use a ESD strap or pad.

So far no failures but ESD doesn't kill on the spot many times.

You need the right tools mostly drivers and plastic picks, fine tweezers (about $30), the two sided adhesive seals, anhydrous isopropyl alcohol with needle applicator and a heat gun.

I've done a lot of electronic assembly including replacing LCDs in two Canon pro cams which are more intense to repair.

If you have no ESD mat & strap do it on a smooth bare wood surface with a room RH of 50-75% (simply boil some water to raise it). The more clean room like the better.

If you have steady hands, don't rush getting the rear cover off, pay close attention, understand how to undo/connect the microconnectors, and slowly, carefully pry the battery out using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol as needed it's no big deal. You need to keep track of the screws which maybe different sizes and reassembly exactly as disassembled🤣 The screws need very little torque to tighten... don't strip em.

If you have never done anything like this and are all thumbs you could get in over your head.

Otherwise just do it... watch a few vids of others to get a feel for it and gauge if it's within your capabilities. Back panel are generally cheap if you crack a glass one. However don't screw up removing the battery as it usually rests directly on the display, easy does it right.

Get the product seals for that model whenever possible, maybe an extra set just in case. Otherwise you need that exact thickness double sided specialty tape.

It's not as bad as it may sound but the details matter.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Pain-N-Panic:
Yeah I did this repair without the proper electronic tweezers, I used regular tweezers lol. I've replaced the backglass before this mod so I was experienced in taking it off. So far the battery life is better, bit to be honest it's not great. We'll see how it goes.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] blackhawk:
Yeah I hear you... in my case the replacement battery has approximately 150 mAh less capacity than the original factory battery did when new. It's a lot better than what was in though.

The right tools make a big difference.

As for battery life try to see what you got. The paid version of Accubattery isn't perfect but it has some features I like a lot such as charge/discharge history. That's great to tract what your charge % per minute and more importantly discharge rates. When mine climbs beyond 12% an hour I know I have a misbehaving app(s) to track down.

The battery temp right there is also useful.

Try messing with the Google junk. Google Play Services, clear it's data and disable; you need it Gmail, Playstore, Gmaps and maybe an odd one more or so. I enable 2 or 3 times a day, that saves at least 1-2% battery an hour. Turn off locations if you don't need it. Disable all cloud apps if you don't use them.

Using Karma Firewall to block Android Services which is usually UID 1000 helps and it almost never really needs internet access. If you're running on Pie, Karma Firewall is fully functional, 10 or above less so. It's logging feature tracks down serial offenders quick. It's freeware that uses almost no battery (no joke) when running in the background, a simple near perfect VNP firewall.

Helps lock down the device and find the data/bandwidth/battery hogs. Simply firewall blocking those will reduces battery usage noticeably.

Of course don't forget the screen brightness level as it can suck the juice. I set mine to manual and adjust as needed as I really don't want it higher than 50% unless needed anyway.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Pain-N-Panic:
Well I have an update. Battery life is better but not like factory new. The phone also died at 27 percent and would not turn back on. I opened it up, removed the battery and reinstalled it which turned it back on. I'm thinking the battery I have my be defective.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] 3mel:
the downside with replacing an older phones battery is that the replacement battery was made at the same time as the phone, when it was new and popular.

the only way it'll be in tip top shape is if it's been charged for a few minutes once a month, otherwise it'll degrade just being left idle.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] blackhawk:
I doubt that is true. They have a limited shelf life and aren't shipped fully charged. They slowly self discharge so probably about a 2-3 year max shelf life.

I'm thinking manufacturer date codes...

Either way Li's degrade less the lower the voltage. There's no advantage to charging them while stored except to stay above the permanent shutdown voltage of the onboard controller. After it hits auto shutdown by the phone you have from a few days to 6 weeks until it auto discharges to this level. Temperature and cell condition effects the self discharge rates.
