[HOW-TO] Install TimeScape on SGSL I9003 - easy way.

Hello friends,

As asked by my good friend I am posting instructions and files to install Sony Arc's TimeScape. I have tested it on my device.

Instructions :

1. Move content from the rar file starting with 1 to system/app OR INSTALL MANUALLY one by one

2. Move contents from the rar file starting with 2 to system/framework

3. Move contents from the rar file starting with 3 to system/etc/permissions

4. Install Arc Launcher.apk

5. MANUALLY edit /system/build.prop (in Root Explorer) by holding then click "Open in Text Editor" and edit the line

Ro.xxxx.manufacturer = samsung

To

Ro.xxxx.manufacturer = Sony Ericsson

6. Touch "Menu" then "Save & Exit"-->Reboot

I have taken this whole thing (as it is) from HERE. All Credit to Tomanlam and myth99. Thank you guys !

As usual TAKE A BACKUP FIRST. You do everything on your own risk.

Enjoy !!!

I have already tried this the facebook and twitter plugin wil not work And all other things are working fine
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
We are waiting for you to post your method too.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Well in my case they were working. Although in 3rd try when I followed procedure exactly ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yerfdes:
is the arc timescape works fine now for our phone?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] myth999:
You need to edit your build.prop to get fb and twitter to work.

And btw timescape is updated from retail firmware, hope u have the new one :)

How to check?

If u have an apk called timescapelegacywrapper.apk then its latest. Older version didn't have that apk.

Also there have been some font fixes for hdpi screens

Regards,

Myth

Edit: this is an infromative post for those who want it

Don't reply if u don't like timescape, coz this ain't timescape love-hate opinion poll
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Dint like it much. SO did not install on I9003.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
@ myth

i have extracted the files from your mythsignedxrecovery.zip and then tried to install .apk files but the applications were not installed vecaurse they are signed applications as i think

Kindly change all of your started thread tittle with [i9003]
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Thank you myth999 for joining us. Guys he is the person who brought this beauty to our Galaxy devices.

Myth, why don't you update this post with latest files.

Thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] myth999:
@Krazy

U need to make sure that arc widgets like genie or photo widget have not been installed already. They might be one of the main reasons of conflict.

Also u need to set perms to 777 for all files.

U don't have xrecovery for ur phones, then what kind of scripts u use? I can try to make one for u.

@rex

Thnx buddy

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
Yeah the arc widgets were installed previously when i was installing these files and arc launcher is working fine in my x10 mini
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] myth999:
Uninstall all those widgets then only these would install. i willl sign the widgets u need
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
Yeah please signed the widgets after uninstalling the widgets again i am facing the problem
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] myth999:
u will need to uninstall widgets home app any apk thats from arc

If you are using a modded home i will sign it

But untill u get timescape workin remove everything else :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nemesis0902:
Hi everyone. Here's what i do to root my phone and please tell me if i am missing anything because it dosnt seem to be working.

First off i select usb debugging mode on

Then i unmount the sd card

Plug in the phone and click root on super one click.

Now everything looks fine and the software even says root successful.

I unplug the phone and theres superuser installed.

And now is when it dosent seem to make sense. I install titanium backup from the appstore and when i open it, it says that root access is not available.

Help me out people !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] myth999:
In titanium backup click problems, then it will ask to install busy box, install it. That should help

Have changed the GPS time out from 255 to 100 in lbstestmode, now im almost getting instatnt gps lock.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
I think i messed up my gps, I was testing few options in lbstestmode & deleted gps data, don't what data it was & now I cant lock at all in-spite 11 satellites visible. Seems its time to update with XXkb3.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
So you were doing it on DDKB2 ? Is Service Mode available on it ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Long press on home screen select shortcuts> Activities> LbsTestMode> LbsTestMode.> OK

Click the widget LbsTestMode, you get the menu for GPS parameters. Enjoy:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
No need buddy. It does not delete GPS data completely to make it unusable but only deletes settings, so that you get to input new data. This does not affect your GPS in any manner. Just adjust your previous settings. But do all these while your Internet connection is on. Please report back.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
rez4u I am still on DDkb1 & yes it has the service mode as described by trip007in.

Will test it tomorrow when I am in 3g coverage area & report back.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
@sgsi9003

When I tried with the code nothing happened :(

Edit:

I can confirm that Service Mode is locked in DDKB2 FW. What you see as Activities are the shortcuts by Launcher Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blufmaster:
hi

i just bricked i9003 :( i flashed it without root and now its stuck at samsung display is there any way to recover it ?

thx
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
True Rex but how does it matter? You got access to what you want, may be code is not working but LP unlocks it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
What did you flash dude:eek:. How does root help in flashing? If you flashed some system file. You might have to re-flash one of the available FWs. But first tell exactly what did you do? and what was your previous FW?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blufmaster:
i could,nt chek original firmware because phone had password so just taked 1 file from samfirmware and falshed it with odin and the result was held on sasmung display

regards
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Did you use pit file and ticked re-partition in ODIN ?

@trip

There is a huge difference. I need Service Mode to tweak Audio.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blufmaster:
yes i selected put file also and ticked partition also , till now tryied 5 diferent firmwares but no succes any idea?

regards
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
If the firmware is one file you don't have to select pit file and re-partition.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
The above shortcut is for "lbstestmode". As far as i have seen DDKB2 dont have "servicemode" yet or might be locked
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
rex4u said in another post that its launcher pro shortcut I am on ddkb1 & have launcher pro & I had found lbstestmode accidentally while I was trying to make a shortcut to video camera on home screen before it was posted here, so I assume its part of the fw but hidden from users.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Lol i was talking about the gps parameter menu as the discussion was reg. GPS not the complete service menu. AudioTestApp is also there but does not work on kb2

A dangerous but tempting proposition. May be we can remove bootloader and then flash. Getting tempted :(

Have you enabled USB debugging in phone settings ? It is required.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] torque321:
is it required to root the device ti install the timescape??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
Yeah you need root to put some files in system using root explorer
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] torque321:
After roting .... settings??

friends

after rooting

1) should i revert to Kites or need to keep ask on connection In Settings--Wireless & Networks--USB setting--

2-should i unckeck USB debugging mode or keep it checked.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
after rooting you can uncheck the usb debugging mode if you want and you should to change the usb settings manually

unable to Root in XXKB3

I have updated fw to XXKB3 and have issues in rooting with Superoneclick. The whole process runs successfully and SuperUser is installed, but when i try su command in terminal, the SU permission screen does not pop-up and have used root checker to check root

Earlier i was able to root with Superoneclick on DDKB2 fw.

Help would be appreciated...

Pls Ignore... My bad.. didn't reboot... hence the issue

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gaurav.grg:
Well dont know that posting in correct thread or not.

I have Samsung Galaxy SL(I9003) with froyo PDA:DDKB2, I have rooted my device with SuperOneClick. Now I wish to change a file "/system/bin/wpa_supplicant" for accessing the Ad-hoc wifi connection. I have downloaded the wpa_adhoc_signed from the post "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754961" after that I transfer wpa_supplicant(from wpa_adhoc_signed) file to memory card. From adb shell with su tried to copy wpa_supplicant file to /system/bin. I got "permission denied" message. I also tried with the root manager to copy the file in /system/bin it ask me for overwrite I opt yes but the orignal file not changed. I tried to delete that file it shown as deleted when traverse to parent directory and return back wpa_supplicant file was there. I checked the the permission of file with root manager User -> RWE Group -> R Other -> R. I tried cp command that gave me "Read-only file system" message. Please guide where I am doing wrong or what I am missing.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
@gaurav

You are not mounting the file system as R/W. In Root Explorer it is in top centre.

Let me warn you that changing any file in /system could brick your device and you might need to do a full flash.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] evas80:
@doc p, i had similar error when using Superoneclick 1.8 in win xp, try SOC 1.7 or try in Vista or win7.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] doc p:
THX evas80 for reply, I'll try this next - nice weekend
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gaurav.grg:
I mounted the root explorer as R/W then only it asked me for overwrite option while coping wpa_supplicant. But after traversing the parent folder and come back, it was the old original file as the date was not modified. Even I tried with the update.zip from the sdcard but got aborted because of some problem. I want this to connect to the ad-hoc wifi connection. Is there anything else which I can try.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Guys if you are on windows xp, running superoneclick v1.8 will give errors... use superoneclick v1.7 :)

i have rooted my phone but i did not find any improvement in the battery life of my galaxy sl........i have flashed the f.w. xxkb3 and also rooted now but still my battery backup sucks. does anyone know any other way in which i can improve its battery backup?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Keep your screen brightness to minimum, (slide the notification bar at top left & right to change brightness)

disable auto sync,

disable locations & gps related services when indoor

disable wifi & bluetooth

enable these only when you need this alone will give you 20-30% more life.

Enable 3g ONLY if you have 3g connection else it will keep on switching 2g/3g which drains battery.

Install juice defender from the market that should help you further saving battery life. There is an another app but I haven't tried called tasker which does the same automatically.

Search the forum there is a guide too

here are few post reading them will help you

Lemme try the 3g only option and see...tasker is a paid app right?

Do you think I should buy it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Yes its paid app I haven't used it but have read about it. As of now i am testing juice defender it seems to save battery by 40-50%.

help required

hi guys. I had rooted my phone 2 weeks back using superoneclick and applied OCLF as well. Yesterday i downloaded an app from the market that lets you change battery icons. I believe it was meant for Galaxy S. But watsoever, i installed it and it asked for root access which i allowed. It required rebooting too. Eversince the reboot, my phone does not startup. It gets stuck at the screen where the word samsung glows untill the battery dies. It also vibrates a bit every now and then indication something has gone wrong. I have absolutely no idea wat to do or how to proceed. I am scared to take it to the service center too since it has been rooted. Samsung kies in my laptop is useless and never works properly. Can you guys please explain how can i get this phone back to working condition??

Can you provide me steps to Unroot using superoneclick for SGSL ....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Unrooting should be quite similar to rooting except that you will now hit the unroot button. Before you unroot remove any kind of lagfix if you have applied any.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
How can he do that dude? He is not able to get into phone. Boot loops is only left. did you try taking logcat using android sdk _ adb. Am not sure though if it will work as we do not have full root yet, but log can tell you what's wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
@nashavi

This is called soft-brick. Not to worry much. Just flash your phone with any firmware and you will be fine. I will suggest you XXKB3.

Good luck !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Rex, he has chance of bricking the phone as he had applied lag fix. I really do not prefer lag fix for our phone, don't think its necessary. Generally it is recommended to remove lag fix before flashing. But as you do not have choice may be you can try your luck, and pray that everything goes well.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Yes. Even I believe lagfix is not at all required for this phone.

I followed Crazys steps to flash my phone. Its working now.. thanks a lot guys.

Just one question though. I used XXKB3 to flash. My car has bluetooth connection feature which does not work anymore. How can get it back to working. I read somewhere that xxkb3 comes with bluetooth3.0 which will not work in India. Can you guys tell me how to go about this?

Did you hard-reset device after flashing ?

I've been told if I told a factory reset it should solve the battery drain but I also don't want to lose all the data that's backed up on my phone.

With that said is there a way to perform this task but backup your previous data and reinstall

All my settings Roms, Kernels, ect are in my signature as well for review of what I am using.

Thanks to all who answer
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
OK easy... Enter MAGLDR choose option 8 from there choose restore/backup then choose backup. There you go everything is backed up. You can then do anything you want. I usually do this before downloading a new ROM.

After you reinstall the ROM if that is what you are going to do let it load up go through setup reboot once let it fully load then turn it off again and this time boot into MAGLDR choose option 8 anc choose advanced restore choose which restore you want and choose to just restore data reboot and it will be like you never changed anything for the original state. The only data it wont restore is stuff you have pushed like say an upgraded zip etc.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheCoutures:
Damn I did just as you said and it didn't restore half of it and one was the android market so I couldn't reinstall any that was missing or use Titanium Backup to reinstall the missing ones.

I'm going back one so hopefully this will fix it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
It should of I have done this probably 10-15 times works every time. Only time it don't work is if you change ROM's that don't have the same base. Good thing is you can always restore your build completely which will bring it back to how it was before you backed it up to start.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheCoutures:
That must have been the change it went from one base to the next. I went back one backup and worked great, thanks.
