BRILLIANT!!

Gonna try it now, thanks so much you've been a great help
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
You're welcome! I'm doing my Master's in computer science... Kind of my field, when I have time to tinker around with it ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
Really stupid question but you do have Market on your X8 don't you? And if you can tell me what region that customization is for that would be good. I've tried changing the details but looks like it hasn't automatically installed market like I was hoping and in fact the wireless no longer works......aaaaarrrgggghhhh
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
Edit: ignore this

Can you check the default.prop file and tell me what's the

ro.semc.version.sw=xxxx-xxxx

Cheers goeland
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
Yes, I do have market installed ;)

ok, here is what I have:

ro.semc.version.sw=1236-9291
ro.semc.version.sw_revision=1.3.A.0.50
ro.semc.version.sw_variant=GENERIC
ro.semc.version.sw_type=user

I bought it as a generic in Switzerland. I think it ought to be generic, but I'm not sure about anything else. I'll know more when I see the update to 2.1 coming my way I suppose...

Hope this helps!
[XPERIA X8 General] shranksy:
That's exactly what I have. I thought that by changing the fingerprint code like you do with the x10 it might work but it keeps putting it back to the original firmware - without Market. OMG this is really winding me up. And the thing is there doesn't seem to be any support out there for it. I'm stuck!
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
If you tell me how, I can reformat from the pc suite soft and send you my fw. I have a way to backup everything, I think.
[XPERIA X8 General] goeland86:
Anyone know how to extract a firmware from a phone, if I were to reinstall the stock SE fw?

That would make it easier to fix market problems and whatnot.

"How not to root a phone"

It's quite simple to root any phone.

First lets get some tools.

You will need:

A hammer

Some seeds "any fast growing seeds will do"

Some soil

First place your phone on a flat surface.

Now using the hammer bash a nice hole in the centre of the screen.

Add some soil into the hole and place a few seeds.

If all went well and by giving sufficient sunlight and water you should have root soon.

Works on all phones. :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zarpy:
Ok I now most of you have heard of the game Casltevania lords of shadows before. I dont have the tools to make a 3D version for my phone , my tools are only 2D .

I have 2 photos of the Castlvania lords of shadows running on touchpro2 , and the touchpro2 can handle the graphics and sound.

Now I what I have done was make a simple version , just to make sure the phone can handle the graphics. In my version you can move left and right avoiding enemies , and slashing them with your whip. Its WVGA demo only ,tested on touchpro2. You try to get a highscore.

.

I am hoping a developer who has knowlegde of 3D can make 1 or 2 levels on the game so I can play on the go. Thanks to whoever can help us!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zarpy:
castlevania lords of shadows

Can any developer with knowlegde of 3D help us. The best I can do will not come out as good as if a 3D developer did it. I would love to see this game on my phone.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Aim lower...

I know you like to make small games but as you noticed the comminty as pretty much reached a stale state... If you want something done most time you have to DIY.

I don't see the point of a 3d Castlevania (all the good ones are 2d). Also do you have any idea how much work would be behind this (everything would have to be done from scratch: game engine, 3d models...). You must also consider that WM is dead and the game wouldn't run in WP 7. I don't see any luck getting help for such a task.

Anyway if you do decide to continue making games do notice that the tools you use are very limited (at best they are enough for small puzzle games... or Game&Watch like mini-games)... Making games that don't dynamically scale is a bad idea. Most devices are bellow WVGA resolution... And please do develop them past the point of demo (most of your work feels like PoC... they lack the quality of a finished product... a single complete quality game beats a tons of demos).

And don't rip stuff from copyright games (name, sprites musics, whatever... you lucked out so far). There are many Open Source games that deserved being ported (again the tools you use aren't enough for the job) there's no need to make incomplete clones of commercial games.

I know I wrote this with my gloves of but you've got to agree I have several valid points (hope you take it constructively).

That being said the only reason I see that this thread hasn't been closed yet is because you released a cab (request belong in QnA... which nobody reads, I know). And don't triple post man...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zarpy:
games

1) I was excited by playing castlevania lords of shadows . I wanted something for my phone.

2) As for doing it myself , if I could I would have not requested it.

3) I cant make more complex games like castlevania because of lack of multi-touch , maybe someone else has it figured it out.

4) The tool I used doesnt support auto-scale , so I have to make the game separately for each resolution.

5) I released demos so someone who doesnt have money to buy games , can have a choice of simple fun games. If you want commercial quaility games then there are many for you to buy. Its ridiculous to expect someone to sit there and make commercial games for free.

6) As far as copywrites anyone can make a game using commercial charactors , as long as its free. I am no where near the 1st one to do this. All over the internet there are different versions of marios and sonics.

7) Finally I started making games for myself after getting screwed buying $7.99 games and they ended being up trash with good graphics or just not worth the price. Play any gameloft game and you will see what I mean.

I Used Unrevoked 3.21 to Root my Evo 4G running Froyo 2.2, from the 3.2626.651.6 software update. I have a problem when trying to flash a .zip file using Recovery method in the Quick Boot (Root App) and when trying the "Install ROM from SD Card" method, in the ROM Manager (Root App). When using either method it hangs on the reboot screen that displays "HTC EVO 4G". I'm trying to update to the new software update 3.29.651.5, so I can get the fps lifted from 30fps to 60fps. I don't have any idea why it is freezing, some help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently updated to CM6 on my Hero, and I noticed my GPS does not work very well anymore. It will occasionally work, but mostly have a lot of problems.

Any known fixes for this?

Thanks.

Download GPS status from the market (free)

Open, and go to settings

Click GPS state

Reset GPS cache and download their A-GPS helper

You should be good to go!

+1 for the CFS suggestion. I had been having issues with GPS dropping out during a drive, even after using the GPS Status "fix" to get a good initial lock. However, after installing collin_ph's battery tweak and enabling CFS, the GPS appears to be keeping a lock on longer drives.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:

[Milestone XT720 General] tirex10:
Hi,

I purchased my Motorola XT720 in Sinagpore. It comes without SIM lock and it runs on 1700/2100.

But I currently use the phone with AT&T Wireless which uses 850/1900 WCDMA frequency bands. So I don't have 3G connection speeds.

Is there any way to switch the phone to use the AT&T frequency bands?

i have never done an rom upgrade or hard reset this phone in like 1 year or so (guess dropping it did that at some point doing something to the screen)

[Android] Shibbey75:
Are you tired of flashing your D1 or DX just to have a corrupt code until you can fix that pain in the butt 16-bit checksum and reflash it?

I have created an app that will allow you to calculate the correct checksum. If you are not sure where these numbers need to go, you may want to consider NOT messing with them. However, the more experienced SBF people that know where the checksum needs to go...please use it to save yourself the time and frustration.

(It must be changed AFTER saving the SBF file. And the checksum is in the offests equivalent to the 4th and 3rd last bytes in the hmg file)

Enjoy, and please feel free to provide any and all feedback. I take the bad as well as the good. Also, any suggestions?

Currently I can only say this works for the D1 and the DX. I have not looked into the D2 yet, sorry.

My next step is to create a boot logo SBF creator. Simply select the image you want and press save.. Wham! You have a flashable SBF to change you boot logo.

Set the drive as a different region to your dvd player and take advantage of other regions' dvds.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iphonepimp:
Hi, just got an e10a.

Searched around on forums but i couldn't find a generic firmware for e10a, all e10i firmware.

Just wondering where i could find generic e10a firmware?

plus, do i need to debrand if i'm gonna root?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:
Root = total access to your phone.

Unbrand = remove all the operator garbage.

In summary if you unbrand the phone you will get direct access to SE update, if not, you will have wait to your operator releases.

Btw, I am from Argentina, I have an unbranded e10a x10 mini and I didn't get the lastest firmware upgrade yet.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iphonepimp:
Where did you get your generic firmware for your e10a?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iphonepimp:
Could you maybe upload your firmware files onto megaupload or something?

that would be much appreciated
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:
First of all, I have deleted most of factory applications :D

Second, I don't know how to do it, if you know or have a manual, i will try to do it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iphonepimp:
Umm i think if you go on your computer (if you have used SEUS before)

1.Go to C: –> Program Files –> Sony Ericsson –> Update Service –> db –> 13740270 –> blob_fs.

2.Sort files by date in descending order (latest date at top). The two files at the top will be 80MB and one around 12MB - these are the firmware files
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iphonepimp:
Gah, I cant get into it. I dont have an omnius acct. Possible that i use yours?

Oh and your files arent there cuz you havent restored or updated you phone via SEUS.

dont worry if you cant get it off ur phone its fine... I'll just stick with crappy rogers software...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:
I have restored the phone a couple of times. And I get an account there for free looking a generic e10a for you.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:
I was able to download it:

Firmware version: 1.1.A.0.8

Model: E10a Unbranded

I don't know if it has all the files you need, I guess yes, but I can not test it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iphonepimp:
excellent. Thanks a lot!
