[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d33dvb:
This does not work on any Froyo Roms, because of the required external mic, but does anyone know of a 3.5mm adapter that has a jack for headphones as well as a inline mic? Would this work ?

EDIT:

Looking at the audio routing from this page: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html

it looks like some of it is deprecated, does this mean that it will never work?

int	ROUTE_EARPIECE	This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.

int	ROUTE_HEADSET	This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.

int	ROUTE_SPEAKER	This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.

I see. Well I hope there's a solution soon, in the meantime keep up the great work u guys are doing for us.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
I'm having a hard time understanding what everyone is saying is broken here...

I use a standard line out cable from my headphone jack into the analog aux input on my car stereo. I purchased a cheap extension cable that has the 3.5mm plug on one end and a mic/button at the other end that I plug the regular cable into. When I get a call, I pick up the mic on the cable and speak into it and I can hear the caller through my stereo and they can hear me just fine. This has always worked for 2.1 ROMS and so far has worked for three 2.2 ROMS I've tried.

Everyone is saying that the mic function is not working, but it's working fine for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
It is working for you because of your extra external mic, it is confirmed a few post back that when using an external mic, it work fine but when using just a pair ear phones + internal mic (the one at the bottom of your phone), it fails to work. It used to work on 2.1 roms.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] accordex:
same thing here, went from fusion 1.1 to V4 Onyx...big pain in the ass out on the road today. Never wold have thought to check for that. I constantly have music going, ussually it will pause my mp3, and beep and show up the phone call, but now music plays, until I anwser and no go from the headphone jack.. I have mine hooked to an fm transmitter so i can take calls over car speakers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d33dvb:
Which cable are you using that has a built in mic? Should I look in my G1 / Mytouch boxes for an old one?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
Ah. That makes more sense then - I thought people were using the mic built into the headset, not the actual phone.

d33dvb, the cable I use is similar to this one:

http://www.accessorygeeks.com/apple-iphone-maletofe-headset.html

It's an iPhone accessory, but works fine with the Vibrant. It's been a few months since I bought it, and don't remember where I got it, but I do know that I got two of them for less than 8 bucks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d33dvb:
Thanks man, I think I will hit the best buy and that will be my temp solution to running 2.2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raduque:
This issue is the biggest reason I'm not running a 2.2 rom.

What's the quality of the mic like on that adapter cable? The mic built into the phone is really good, I was on a call one day and had only raised my voice a little, but the caller on the other end asked me to stop yelling. I was like "Umm... I'm not"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d33dvb:
I agree, the quality is amazing. I wish the source were out for 2.2 :/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
Haven't had any complaints and I talk to lots of different people using it.

FWIW, the Samsung Omnia II came with such an adapter from Samsung, which is what I'm using, and the mic quality is great.

Attached is a pic of the one from the Omnia II
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justlovejoy:
well I am oh so jealous of those who have the in line Mic working. I'm using the mcnut 12 and can't use the headphones with in line Mic at all. I mean music plays and sounds from movies work. the buzz kill is when I get a call. I can't hear the caller and they hear me from the phones Mic. so I have to unplug my headphones and use the handset. total bummer... worked on obsidian 3 but that came with other issues. HELP MEEEEEE
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lezouave:
Good news!

I flashed Flashable Stock JK6 - Froyo 2.2 and the mic now works as it should- that's to say: plug the audio out into a sound system using a cord that does not have a mic built in, the phone's internal mic stays active.

I made a call to someone who has difficulty hearing when I talk with her on the speakerphone, she had no complaint, I think the mic sound quality was very good therefore.

Here's a link to the rom I flashed:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
Don't know if this matters to anyone, but for those that want to run a custom rom (as opposed to the leaked JK6 stock - which apparently works...haven't tried), I can verify that Obsidian v5 has fixed this issue.

It was a big deal to me b/c I ride a motorcycle and use the headphones to take calls within my helmet, so I kept having to revert back to 2.1 builds until I could find a 2.2 that fixed this issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lezouave:
Well that's weird, I discovered the bug in obsidian version 5 beta.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
I'm working on a tool that I hope will make life a little easier when modifying files on the X10. It uses ADB to pull and push files, so users don't need to remember long command prompt/terminal emulator commands anymore. It also has a nifty little application manager, which allows for quick installation, backup, and removal of both pre and self -installed software.

Instructions:

1. Extract archive.

2. Run X10ModTool.jar

Note: Make sure your phone is connected in debug mode, you have root privileges, and unsecured your device's shell.

For those of you who didn't use the backup feature before replacing files, here are the most common original framework files (android.policy.jar, framework.jar, framework-res.apk, and services.jar).

Please do

NOT

mirror my work!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] trixter66:
nice work dude.Makes things a lot easier
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] AyDee:
Wow, lots of great stuff from you lately!

Thanks will have a look
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] 279Paddy:
Agreed! MrRusch, you're on a roll....awesome, sir! I will surely give this one a shot!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] trixter66:
When I click on manage applications it freezes
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Hmm.. Device connected in debug mode? Unsecured shell? Made sure ADB has had time to start?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
Nice work man.

Now I know why you shifted to adb ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DJBoxer:
thx for the tool MrRusch hopefully be easy to mod for now with adb
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Glad you guys like it. There is only so much one can do with ADB, but let me know if there is something you think I should include.

Version 0.2 is up now, and I'm off to bed. Happy modding!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SEMPITERNAL:
@ MrRusch

u r great!!! :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wingz85:
This looks very good and useful.

One quick think that you could add is maybe a feature the unsecures the shell on startup of the program to save you doing it before, and resecures it when closed maybe??

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gewaltXXX:
How can I push an apk with this???
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] geraerb:
Great program, however the "Refresh Directories" button does not seem to work.

I can add a directory with "manage directories", but when I refresh nothing happens.

When I exit the program and start it again, then the diretory is there.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Hehe yeah actually it just refreshs the files that are already in existing directories, e.g. if you add a file to the directory while the app is running. But I will make it reload the available directories as well :) Good catch.

EDIT: v0.2.1 includes this feature.

1. Select the APK locally, in your left-side list. (Psst! Click the grayed out location field to browse your hard drive)

2. In the list on your right, select where you want to push the APK to - e.g. /system/framework/.

3. Hit the Push button and wait for the process to complete.

PS. It's often useful to back up originals before you replace them with modified ones. Select the file(s) you want to back up in the list on your right, and hit the Pull button. This creates a backup folder in the application's directory.

I never really got the point of having a

secure

shell? If there is one I will consider it..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gewaltXXX:
I did that before. but doesnt work :S

I have root and all.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Well, you gotta give me some information on the problem. What happens when you hit the Push button? Does it freeze completely or do you get the "Push complete!" message but the file is not on your device?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gewaltXXX:
Well nothing happens :S

I plug in the phone and start the jar and try the push, but it seems like its not sending it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Yeah, sorry it's my bad. I messed up in the UI change from v0.1 to v0.2.x. I've uploaded v0.3 now, and the issue should be fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: Well, at least I hope this was your problem. Not quite sure, judging by your last response - you dont even get a "Push completed!" message? In that case it might be something else, and I need more information to understand what is happening. E.e. what is the filename you are pushing, what is the directory name you are pushing to, do other functions such as Pull work, etc..?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gewaltXXX:
Yes I got that message. But anyway will try this one.

Thanks!

Edit: Nope not working. I think my settings might be messed up or so?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Yeah sounds like it. Make sure ADB works by itself first.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
Would it be possible to implement some kind of a script that would save us writing all those commands below. Something like 1-klick button for whole step 4 below.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Hehe this is exactly what the tool does. Just select the file you want to push on your left, the folder you want to push it to on your right, and click Push! :D No commands needed
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] trixter66:
This app just gets better.Well done dude.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
Ups, my bad.:) For some reason pushing framework-res.apk seems to not working on my phone. I check file on the left hand side window, on the right hand side I choose "system/framework/" and press push. After few seconds it says "Pushing complete", but when I reboot my phone I still got old framework-res.apk. Any ideas? What do you mean by "unsecure shell"? How to do it?

Also, maybe restart/reboot button implemented? Especially needed when you pushing framework-res.apk, where you need to reboot phone after that.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Reboot is done automatically after framwork-res.apk has been replaced. And X10 Mod Tool also detects if you have selected it to be pushed, and places it last in the queue, so that it replaces all other files first, then framework and reboot.

To unsecure the shell you need to chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh. See this post for detailed instructions.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
So guys, what about an install APK feature?

And what about a shell script (*.sh) running feature?

Useful or useless? Got any more ideas for added functionality? Please post them here..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
I had exactly the same problem here. Don't know what's going on so I switched back to bat files (didn't have the time to check up on it).
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
What version of the tool were you using? It should work in v0.3, I just checked it myself :confused:

Please try this:

1. Clear temporary files

2. Select local files

3. Select /system/framework/ as destination

4. Hit push

If you have pushed a framework-res.apk, it should reboot automatically when push is complete. If it doesn't reboot, please check if the files are located in /sdcard/tmp/. If they get to the sdcard but not further, it is probably your shell which is still secured. From your device's terminal emulator, do the chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh, and try again.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
I was using V0.2

According to the message I got the push was successful. I'm not sure if the push to the sd card was the problem or the copy to system/framework...

Trust me, everything else was OK ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Try v0.3, big bug removed that came from the GUI change between 0.1 and 0.2. I'm 99% sure that is the problem.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
sweet, I'll try it as soon as I get a chance.

I'll post back here with the results.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cocoon4phone:
first thx for your good work!

Is it possible to add a DELETE button for remove all files I selected? So that doesn't matter if it is on sdcard or my local drive. Atm it is only in the app manager?

thx

cocoon
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
Would it be possible to add some kind of a preview window, that shows operations/commands program is doing at present. Like when you press Push, preview window pop-up fimiliar to cmd window, where you put all necessary commands.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
I will try and incorporate both these features in next release. But not sure how much time I will have this week.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
The reason I think this feature would be good is, we would know if program is actually doing anything (not freezed or anything).

I have add system/app folder in the text file displaied when you click "Manage directories" now application dosent start. any idea why?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
1. It has to be "/system/app/"

2. Make sure the line breaks are correct within the file: ONE enter between the sections, and TWO after the last push destination.

Maybe I need to include a better GUI for editing these..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
v0.4 uploaded

New features include:

- Device browsing GUI improved: You can now double-click yourself through folders like any other file explorer. So no more need for handling directories through settings file.

- ADB Log with Clear Log button.

- Make Directory and Delete buttons (for device, not locally).

- Manage Applications window now allows for Install of APK.

ANY MORE IDEAS FOR HOW I CAN EXTEND FUNCTIONALITY?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Added a File Information window on double click in v0.4.1.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
Right, still showing "Push completed" but now I know why. In dialog box it says "adb is out of date" so it kills it. Obviously procedure is not successful.

Is there other way than writing whole command in cmd window to open shell?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567955

I don't understand your question, please elaborate. And read the above linked thread to fix your ADB issue.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
I got "adb out of date" issue sorted, thanks.

What I mean is, you have to write a "chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh" command to unsecure the shell. In my case for some reason I have to do this every time before I want to use your software. So my question is, instead of going through whole procedure all over again, can I/we use "3rd party", (external) software to unsecure the shell? You just klick it and it's unsecured, klick it again, and is secured again.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Hmm that's odd. I will look into whether this can be done via ADB or not. I actually think it has to be done locally on your device. But you never know, maybe I can script around it.

EDIT: No sorry it's not possible. This needs to be done from your device for legitimate security reasons. But it's odd that yours keeps resetting itself to 0755.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
Do you mind sharing your bat files? Especially those regarding pushing frameworks-res.apk? Is it possible to use bat files for "adb shell", "adb push", adb dd" commands?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
For some reason I have problems with rebooting the phone after whole procedure, either in windows cmd command window (sometimes it takes few tries, before it reboots) and x10ModTool (it does not reboot at all). As you see below, procedure is going ok now. With cmd it was ok at the begining, later on it took longer and longer to reboot. Now it takes few minutes before it reboots, so instead of waiting for it, I am going through all commands again. Any ideas?

And other whing is, quick idea (based on my experience with your cool software).

This is what dialog box shows in your program:

As you can see, I use slightly different name for framework-res.apk (it is framework10-res.apk. When I use windows cmd command I use line

so it's copying file and changes it's name at the same time (and it works). The reason for it is, I have different versions of framework file (dark10 version, my own custom version, etc.) so I know what file contains what, when I edit them.

But your program does not do that. Even if my phone finally reboot, would framework10-res.apk work? I will have to remember to change file name to framework-res.apk.

I am not saying it is important, it is just a suggestion.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tiggerbcn:
Great work MrRusch, your phone modis we carry many in the X10, this tool is very easy to change the style of our X10

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
Thanks, it was the line breaks. I managed to fix it.

Some times when you push files it will not be successful due to rooting issues. but your app shows as file pushed ok. Is it possible to see such failures as unsuccessful?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Glad you got the directory issue sorted :) Try the newest version, it gives better output from the processes. Not quite sure what you mean by "rooting issues"..

Pushing framework-res10.apk (or any file with a new filename) into /system/framework/ won't do anything but clog your system. It won't be loaded at all.. The only time the phone reboots is when you replace the existing framework-res.apk (which is loaded into memory). Most other files can be replaced without reboot.

I actually managed to make this work.. A lot of fiddling, but now I can unsecure the shell from X10 Mod Tool. So I will implement a check at startup.

EDIT: v0.4.2 is now available in first post.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
Oh yes, working great now.:) It is restarting, sometimes not straight away, but is. It is working so great, that I even bricked my phone.:) But it was my fault, I have pressed delete to many times and by mistake deleted framework-res.apk and now phone stops on SE logo.:P Reflashing.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Hehe I'm glad it works. And FYI, I dont think you need to reflash when you get stuck like that, just connect again with X10 Mod Tool and push the file over during SE logo..?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cholek3:
Tried that. It was saying Permission Denied while pushing, and then while "dd" command that file or directory does not exist, so I took memory card out, put framework-res.apk file in sdcard/tmp/ folder, but still was saying that it does not exist. I think on that stage there is no access to memory card at all.

BTW. Reflashed, rooted, Backing all up with Titanium. :P I have even put new framework-res.apk and your software worked flawlessly. Thanks. Donated.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Hmm.. It's probably because your device for some reasons resets the shell to secure on reboot, and the unsecure method I created uses the Super User application, which is not available at that stage. Wonder why your device does this.. :confused:

Cheers for the donation mate!

Psst! To create a new folder on your device, hit the Make Dir button. :)

Well, you can't create folders anywhere on your device, as only the /system partition is remounted as read-write. /sdcard is also safe to create in.. and /data as well.. This doesn't work for you either? Please paste the output from the log here if so..
