[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manneman32:
It has been asked before... and I think I have the hang of some of it... BUT...

I have been modifying some of my app icons via xRecovery. The method I used was via 7zip and replaced the iconfiles through there... I have been using [FW 2.1.1.A.0.6] Black HTC Theme for X8/X10mini/pro ~XRECOVERY~ [UPDATE:11.03.2011] and the enclosed "app-update.zip" via xRecovery.

Now to my questions!

1: Where do I find my installed apps (apk´s) on the internal storage? I use RootExplorer and was thinking about copying apk´s to the memorycard and then transfer to my PC, modify them there

2: Can I use the "app-update.zip" method to all selected apps? For example... the App-update.zip" contains "SemcContacts.apk" and it workes fine to change this way... but can I just put "handcent.apk" or "Ndrive.apk" in the same "app-update.zip" without any problems?

I hope I have explained so you guys can understand what I´m talking about...

Best regards

Manneman, Sweden
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
1: "/system/app" and "/data/app"

2: if you do it with 7zip yeah it will work if you give them the same name and place in the app-update.zip

example you want to replace "com.blablabla.hey" in direction /data/app

you need to name the app "com.blablabla.hey" and in the app-update.zip it need to be placed in the dir /data/app
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manneman32:
Hmmm... Ok, I found the *apk´s under "system/app"... no worries there. I just replace the png "CalendarProvider.apk" that represents the icon. via 7zip. After that I implement it with "app-update.zip"

"app-update.zip" contains two folders... META-INF and system. The system-folder contains the folder app witch has some apk´s... That these apk´s is coming from "system/app" on the internal storage I understand. So in order to install modified apk from "data/app" I have to create a folder in my apps-update that is named data/apps with my modified apk´s?

So in the end my "apps-update" will look like this:

apps-update.zip containing Folders META_INF, system and data coresponding to the apk´s I have changed...

All this will be done with 7zip without extracting anything....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
yup your right BUT!

in META_INF if you click through all maps that are in there you will end up with a file called update-script

drag it on you desktop

open it with wordpad(!)

search this line "copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:"

and paste this underneath it

"copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:"

without the quotes ofc :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manneman32:
Awww...sweet. That was just what I needed to hear. I was sure that something like that had to be added!

BTW... the modified apk´s will overwrite the original ones, right? No backup-crap (like Windows) is made by the Xrecovery installation?

Thanx!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manneman32:
Worked like a charm!!!

Thank you for all the help!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manneman32:
Well...I take that back...

I just replaced the iconfiles with my modded ones... the same name and size as the original. Everything done within 7zip...

All the apk´s within the "system"-folder worked fine... bur the ones within the "data"-folder uninstalled instead. In Appbrain the are still installed but in the drawer the are gone. I had a couple of them as shortcuts on my homescreen and the I get the message that thay are not present on my system.

Thank god it was only a couple of apk´s i modded so I reinstalled them via Market.

I added the line as You described but something must have happened?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] idaho999:
Hello all,

I'm having problems with my Kaiser. I rooted the device, and flashed Android.

Now, as with many others, when I power on the device, the green light is on and nothing on the screen. I cannot get to the bootloader.

I cannot connect with MTTY (with WinXP or Win7, but I hear the "dunk dunk" USB connected sound when I plug it in). The driver is for a mass USB storage device, which means I cannot use the MotoQ drivers. MTTY never gives USB as a connection option.

Now the confusing part. When I press the power button, I get the green light. When the device is off, and plug in the USB cable, the device starts to boot into Android after 3 mintues, but never gets past the splash screen. It cycles through the boot screen again and again.

I have tried pulling the battery (overnight), the hard and soft reset combos do nothing. I cannot get to the bootloader using the power and camera combo.

Without MTTY connecting, I cannot get Frankenkaiser to connect.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] roticanai:
i've experienced this before after installing new winmo rom. but i got it worked after a hard reset at the green light part.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] idaho999:
Thanks, tried that. Nothing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] massivekid:
Did you tried to force the MotoQ drivers instead of the detected driver (harddisk)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] idaho999:
USB Drivers

Yes, I tried the MotoQ drivers, but Win XP and 7 see the device as a large USB memory device, and not a phone. So I always get the "These drivers are not applicable to this device" or something like that.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Amedeus:
Hi all

What is the difference between all these WP7 ROMs -they all appear to be the same apart from xboxmod which has obvious differnces in graphics?

I would really love to know the difference of all the 7008 build !

Thanks in advance :confused::confused:

Amedeus
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
Not much - they are all based on the original DFT hacked ROM with some personalisations and tweaks built in according to taste. Most of the first crop of custom ROMs also had unlocking built in for convenience.

The newer batch are based on the 7004 ROMs with some of the 7008 files built in so that they appear to be upgraded as far as Zune is concerned.

I'm happy to stand corrected but I don't believe this is quite the same as applying the update 'properly' in the way that native WP7 device owners could.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Amedeus:
Hi

I thought that might be the case but it's not easy to to see what the real differences are...

Thanks for reply

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tumpster:
Hey there everyone. Over the weekend I rooted and installed the portROM version of Froyo. After doing so I can get all my apps except one, MLB At Bat 2011, I find it on AppBrain and it says it cannot be found, digging deeper I see that on the actual web based Android market it says it's incompatible for my phone, even though my phone is listed as "SPH-M920." Is there any way I can get to this app, I've paid for it and it's the one app I can't get on my phone. Any ideas? Thanks! :)
[HD7 General] gamefrick:
Is there a way to delete all SMS Messages from phone? Because they just keep clogging up by contact and you can only delete messages from one contact or X number of recipients but not ALL SMS from the touch of a button.
[HD7 General] Sean D.:
All SMS's at once? No.

All from one contact? Yes. In conversations, press and hold the recipients name, delete. All SMS's from that contact are gone

Or should it be easier than that? :confused:
[HD7 General] gamefrick:
No i mean all SMS from phone like WM6.5, Select All Messages > Delete
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
Sean already answered your question.
[HD7 General] Sean D.:
No there's no way of doing it exactly like WM 6.5

<hint, hint>

But I personally tend to think WP 7 is way easier.
[HD7 General] Mr Fett:
Yep I think it could be way easier than that - a prime example being the way you can delete emails on WP7 by select checking boxes. When I'm doing a bit of housekeeping on my phone and decide to purge all my SMS messages, I shouldn't have to 'press, hold, delete' for every single conversation. This is the first phone I've ever owned where there wasn't a Delete All / Purge All option for the SMS inbox so I don't think it's really that unreasonable.

For the record however, I loooove almost everything else about WP7 and this is a minor irritation. Can't wait for mango.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeb_:
Hi,

I have used handbrake to convert a DVD movie for playing on the Nexus S, according to settings found on a nexusoneforum thread (840-how-convert-any-video-your-nexus-one) Basically the settings are the same than the iPhone, but with correct extensions and some tweaking. The video has only P/I frames, no B frames.

When converting a 5min chapter, the resulting video was perfect! I got a 45MB file, which could be played in the stock player. However, after converting the whole DVD (file size of 1.1GB), using the same settings, then I get the message "Sorry, this video cannot be played". I tried other players but with the same issue.

Has anyone got an idea? Is there a maximum size for videos?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeb_:
I return with some new experiments. I partially encoded the movie, trying various number of chapters, still in h264 (x264) in handbrake. I noticed that a 155MB, 17 minutes file plays correctly, but not a 275MB. I don't know if the problem is size or duration, I would need to try different resolutions for that.

Has anybody tried it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeb_:
I just tried to play these files from the USB storage but on my computer. The file itself is ok, but VLC can play the 17 minutes file, but cannot play the longer one with this error:

No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

I now suspect the problem lies with handbrake, that uncorrectly tags the stream formats (but why does it happen for a longer stream??). I will try to edit these files with avidemux or virtualdub to see what is inside.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeb_:
I found the issue and it has nothing to do with the encoding, but with the uploading to the phone!

Indeed, the original file is readable. I use Linux, with the KDE desktop. It seems that when the screen times out (or the phone goes to sleep?), the upload is somewhat interrupted and the file is corrupted! Even if I took care to unmount the mounting point of the Nexus on the Linux filesystem.

I tried again after I increased the screen timeout to 30 minutes, and it worked ! I was able to upload the 1.1GB file to the phone and the movie could be played.

Is that a known issue, or am I doing something wrong?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeb_:
Besides, I still have difficulties to unmount the Nexus:

$ umount /media/35EE-1E0E/
Unmount failed: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

The mounting point of the Nexus disappears though and the file is correctly uploaded. Has anyone encountered this problem (or has tips)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] daandman:
I'm coming from a Captivate, and on the Captivate I was able to package & download a bunch of little tweaks like different battery icons, themed market, etc.

Can I do that on the Inspire? I'm running CM7 & I love it, but there are a couple small UI things like that (circle battery, etc.) I'd like to change, but can't find on the forum anywhere.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
yeah you can package your own update.zip or any other zip file just like on other android phones. i'm sure online kitchen is still available too, for example modaco ROMs used to have the online kitchen where you pick each component of the ROM you want, and it bakes it all together for you to download and flash. brilliant!
[Galaxy Tab General] liniutze:
I tried to use Nokia BH=503 Bluetooth headset with GTAB and it works fine, but I cannot answer calls on skype/nimbus :(

I have to answer on the tablet, and then switch to headset.

Is there any way to answer a call from any SIP application from a Bluetooth headset ?
[Galaxy Tab General] henrylam:
I have tried some BT headset, and I encountered the same problem. Skype cannot work with them. However, I tried Nokia BH905 BT headphone, it works for both phone and Skype. So, I think the issue doesn't lies on the Skype apps, rather, I think it is the compatibility of the BT headset/headphone.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Nokia used to be notorious for not adhering to bluetooth "standards" with their devices, this is potentially still the case with some of their units. They'd work fine with Nokia phones but often with minor caveats with other brands, so different models might have different "issues".
[Galaxy Tab General] turruso:
Actually my Jabra bt530 easily pairs on Sipdroid, no luck on Skype thou
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Skype is not using a bluetooth headset profile, just A2DP so you will get sound, but the microphone will still be the one on the Tab.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] henrylam:
Hi Dave, I used the voice test on Skype (away from the tab), it works. When I leave my tab on my bed and I was having conversation with my headphone in the toilet, it works. Do I need to say more.

I too suspect that no BT headphone can work with Skype, but it happens, I am happy.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I believe that there are some headsets out there that can supply a mic input over A2DP, but most cannot it would seem. I only say this because I've heard anecdotal stories of some users being able to use a BT headset with Skype, but the vast majority cannot.

The general difference seems to be using a stereo headset, though I don't have a stereo headset which has a mic so I can't check.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] henrylam:
Yes, as mentioned, I tried Motorola, no way. Maybe it is because the model can support both mono Headset and Hands Free profiles and stereo A2DP and AVRCP. Or maybe it has a dual microphone for making voice calls ??????

There is a new model, BH-905i, I think if you guys love music and travel quite a bit, I think this is a good headphone to consider. Battery life is superb as well. I used it to play games too, and it has amazing sound without actually disturbing your neighbours.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emil9727:
I think I remember reading somewhere that you can dual-boot gingerbread and froyo (I could be totally wrong so please forgive me if I am) My understanding was once both where installed you could just change kernels to change the OS. Is this possible?

I am running CM7 but I still would love to play around with the other froyo builds people are putting out. However because it is not as simple as just simply booting into recovery flashing a new ROM I am less prone to doing so. (I usually download and flash the ROM's while i'm on the go. Don't usually have a computer near me to use ODIN and such)

Thanks in advance :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokhentix:
There was a CM7 build a ways back that was psuedo-dual boot. Once you flashed the ROM and were on 2.3, if you ODIN'd over a 2.2 Kernel, it would boot back into Froyo. If you ODIN'd over the 2.3 kernel, it would boot back into Ginger. Pretty sure it's not possible to do that with the current CM7 build that's being worked on. :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emil9727:
Thanks for responding. Its too bad, I don't want to go backwards but they do amazing work on these forums :)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amon Darthir:
So I'm currently screwed. I flashed xtrSense5.0 this morning after running GSB2.0 for a bit. (I wanted some Sense love again). Everything was going great, it all flashed well, I booted up, restored my Titanium Backup, rebooted, and had several apps force closing on boot. (messaging, gmail, etc.) So I decided to go into recovery and wipe and reflash and not just reinstall everything like before. Turns out, that was a bad idea.

My trackball is not working not for some reason and I can't navigate inside the recovery to get to wipe, flash, backup/recovery, nothing. All I can do is hit reboot.

Suggestions? Anyone?

Running RA-eris_v1.6.2
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
There is a version of Amon's Recovery made by Scary Alien that doesn't require the trackball. See http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html

[G Tablet General] rockdogg:
First Thanks to Roebeet for this update.

I am a newbie to this stuff and want to try and install 5.0.0 lite.

I am running 3588 double and triple checked, but want to confirm next steps so as to try and avoid semi brick.

I connected my G to laptop and created ROM folder and downloaded to there.

But can't seem to get file to extract to files update.zip and recovery. Then what is meant by unmount drive cleanly.

Thanks for putting up with such a newbie. I will get better with time I am sure.

Thanks,

Nathan
[G Tablet General] wheeless:
Did You Extract the Zip File from the RAR

Nathan:

I'm also a newbie so I'm probably overreading your question - but if you literally did what you wrote - then I would wonder if you extracted the recovery directory and update.zip files from the TNTLite 5.0 RAR file.

Roebeet packs his updates into RAR files so that for those of us who don't use ClockWorkMod (CWM) - we have the recovery directory and command file to use in updates. But the RAR file has to be unpacked/extracted to get to the recovery directory and update.zip file.

Since you didn't mention having done this after you moved the TNTLite 5.0 rom to your g tablet - I wonder if you've taken that step. If you haven't you either can unpack the RAR on your laptop/desktop and then move into the root of your g tablet SDCARD. Or you can use a program like UNRAR to unpack the TNTLite 5.0 RAR file directly on your g tablet.

Make sure you put the unpacked update.zip and recovery directory (if you don't use CWM) in the root of your SDCARD - not inside and other folder or directory like ROM-5. If the update.zip and recovery directory (if you don't used CWM) are not in the root of SDCARD, the g tablet will not find them when you use the power and volume + (up) to flash the update.

Hope this helps.
[G Tablet General] rockdogg:
Thank you this is my problem. So, I tried to open on laptop and it just keeps coming up with open in a loop and no file. Not sure what I am doing wrong, is there a good place to find UNRAR program.

Thanks again
[G Tablet General] rockdogg:
Got TNT lite 5.0 to install with no problems. One question though. I lost my angry birds and assume that is because I had to data wipe or does it come back when connected to the internet.

Thanks again.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
rockdogg,

Did you complete a Titanium Backup before you started the upgrade to TnT Lite 5.0.0? If so, this is what I did:

The version of Angry Birds that is included with 3991/TnT Lite 5.0.0 rom is version 1.4.2. I had installed version 1.5.2 of Angry Bird prior to the upgrade, so I

1) Verified I still had the Titanium Backup for Angry Birds.

2) Removed the version of Angry Birds (1.4.2) installed with the rom.

3) Installed (restored) version 1.5.2 from backup (and selecting app+data)

If you want to use the 1.4.2 version that was installed with the rom, and just reinstall the data, then go to Titanium Backup (assuming you have a backup of the data), select Angry Birds from the backup/restore list as if you are going to restore it, and when prompted, select to restore the data only.
[G Tablet General] sigvader:
nervous

I just got my tab in today and I'm alittle gunshy about flashing 5.0 I have the stock vanilla version is it worth my effort to do this. ...thanks in advance
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
When in doubt, don't do it. If it works, it works well - but you can semi-brick the device if you're not careful. It's a tricky path and I still think it's the reason why Viewsonic hasn't released this firmware yet.

Read the instructions and if you prepare for the worst (which is using nvflash to unbrick it), I think it's worth doing.
[G Tablet General] sigvader:
thanks alot for your response i am studying up now!!!!!!!
[G Tablet General] rockdogg:
Roebeet, I love the new software. I am by no means a computer guy and I had no problems installing the TnT lite 5.0.
[G Tablet General] notwen:
roebeet's TNT Lite thread is detailed very nicely and easy to understand. I've been tinkering on/off for a month or so and TNT Lite is my preferred custom rom due to the ease of installation/supplements, not to mention the top notch support. =]
[G Tablet General] sigvader:
I am new to the tablet scene myself and was pretty studied up on flashing the 4.2.5 version with cw but 5.0 spooked me would i do the titanium backup sideload before or after i flash 5.0
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
If you don't have it on there now then the answer is both. Install it before to make a backup then reinstall it after the upgrade to 5.0 to perform the restore. For those that are as paranoid about data loss as me, I also recommend copying the backup to a usb drive or the external sdcard just to be on the safe side.
