Hi,
Have spent a great deal of time browsing through the site, and trying out some of the ROMs. Which has led me to the following...
The Company I work for has deployed a large number of XDA-II's (Himalaya), and we've encountered a number of reliability problems with them, not to mention users unable to keep the devices charged.
The consequences of these problems are: 1) Lost software installs and 2) Extra support time.
We've also found the O2 active UI to be a right royal pain in the ar5e!
So, having been playing around with ROMs, I have an idea of what is possible. But, to date, I've just not been able to find exactly the ROM I'm looking for. I'm quite happy to sit down and try and figure things out for myself, but it's quite difficult to try and find a good chunk of spare time.
So, here's the point of my message.
If I can identify the components I need to be installed within a "special edition" cooked ROM, would someone be able to help me build it? I'm basically looking for WM2003SE, so that the screen can be flipped into landscape - or a third-party progam to do that, a wireless email client that I will provide, backup software that I will provide, all the usual hardware stuff (BT, camera etc), no O2 UI (Hoorah!), and maybe one or two other packages, and as much storage/memory available as possible, and, of course, the ability to add a splashscreen. That's it - nothing too out of the ordinary. All of the additional software will be licensed.
So, that's my idea. What do you get in return? Well, I'm more than happy to donate to the site, and, come to some arrangement with anyone that is interested in helping - perhaps some hardware/software etc.
This would save me a lot of time, and be quite an interesting project - to see so many devices get a decent upgrade, and one that helps reduce support overheads.
Please PM me if you are interested.
Thanks.
Vince
well you can
select the win2003se rom you want and put the rest in a cooked extended rom that was what i did i put all cabs i needed in extended rom if the device gets hard reset it will install everything there
the config file must have the names of course
you can get some of the setting there too like operator settings
you can allways donate to xda-developes....lol
PS ...i m not part of xda-developers or in any way associated with them just a user who is glad they existed.
Did a search on google and the forums for debug codes for the Vision. Looks like the only one we have is #*#*CHECKIN#*#*
I'm just wondering if anyone has found any others or a list somewhere
I believe, it's actually *#*#CHECKIN#*#*.
These have been posted before in other threads for other HTC devices.
Fieldtest
*#*#7262626#*#*
Testing
*#*#4636#*#*
Does anyone know how to enter the Galaxy Nexus Service menu? Someone produced the code for the testing menu on rootzwiki, which is:
*#*#4636#*#*
If anyone knows, please share. If yo uknow any others, provide those also.
Thanks.
Nevermind.
hmmm. what is the difference b/t service and testing menu?

I think in the service menu, you can change things like max volume, change whether to be on -a spectrum or -b spectrum (might be mistaken regarding actual terminology of this one), things like that. For what can be done in the testing menu, just input the code above into the dialer of your phone and it will take you there automatically.
Take a look at this

Thank-you sir. I have tried some, they don't seem to work. I think for the galaxy nexus, might have to be *#*#1234#*#* format.
Did you find the codes?
I bought a new galaxy nexus from Bell canada, but i feel the phone has been previously used - do you know if there's a way to check (call counter hidden somewhere?)

I have not found them yet unfortunately. I'm still looking.
would these codes work to boost the stock volume as well for the speaker?
I think some bright spark will be able to pull out all the service codes for our phone and if we can improve the volume then that alone is definitely worth it.

this is correct. for AOSP, the "secret" dialer codes are only recognized by the #*#* type of format. from personal experience, I know sprint preferrs to use ## <number> # and they are able to do this on HTC Sense based devices as HTC redesigns the phone.apk file, but on AOSP devices, the dialer recognizes only #*#* per google's standard.

Service codes are handled by the Phone.apk file. This file should contain constants defined for each command in the header of one of the internal .java/.class files.
If somebody reversed the file, they should be able to find these. At least by grepping through the files starting with the code given in the topic, they should be defined near each other.
it should be the same in any android phone, therefore try *#*#INFO#*#*
Yes, all the codes on stock Android should be in *#*#[]#*#* format.
Going from this document here, anyone who has the whole source tree downloaded should simply grep all the Manifests for `android:host` codes, like so:
find –name AndroidManifest.xml | xargs grep secret_code

Which should show all apps that are set to receive the android_secret_code broadcast.

I have the 4.0.3 GN source tree, and this flagged the following files:
/packages/apps/Email/AndroidManifest.xml
/packages/apps/Protips/AndroidManifest.xml
/packages/apps/Settings/AndroidManifest.xml
/packages/apps/VoiceDialer/AndroidManifest.xml (this one showed up twice?)
/packages/providers/CalendarProvider/AndroidManifest.xml

/packages/apps/Email/AndroidManifest.xml
The Email app receives code *#*#36245#*#* and brings up a debug menu with some advanced logging options -- nothing major.
/packages/apps/Protips/AndroidManifest.xml
Heh. This seems to be a leftover from the ProTips widget in earlier Android versions. Apparently all it does is receive the code *#*#8477#*#* and log "ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED".
/packages/apps/Settings/AndroidManifest.xml
This is just the usual *#*#4636#*#* to bring up the testing menu.
/packages/apps/VoiceDialer/AndroidManifest.xml (this one showed up twice?)
This receives both *#*#8351#*#* and *#*#8350#*#* which enable and disable (respectively) logging for the Voice Dialer app.
/packages/providers/CalendarProvider/AndroidManifest.xml
This receives *#*#225#*#* and brings up a Calendar information page showing all of your linked calendars and the number of associated events.

I couldn't say for sure, but I would assume that is all that is available within the source. It's quite possible that the Verizon specific files (or GSM) could also have responses as well, as I would think there has to be a service menu somewhere. I wouldn't know how to check that, though.
for my phone i used *#*#340910#*#* and i was able to enter the service menu which allows you to change your number associated with the phone as well as the MSID number

Hi everybody,
I would like to use a "drive test" apps that collect RF parameters but I noticed a lot of problems with them on my Galaxy s2. Example apps are "RF SIGNAL TRACKER" or "G-MoN for Android 2.x".
This applications display and collect with GPS coordinates a lot of parameters that permit to understand the behavior of the network by a technical point of view (RSSI signal strength, SNR, Ec/No) and it's useful for radio planning engineer activities.
The developer noticed that many Samsung devices suffer of compatibility problem but nobody is able to solve it...
Next several search into developer forum I understand the problem is related to the only MODEM part of each ROM.
After many test with custom ROM I founded one able to work but still present some issues (version "I9100XXLP1").
Anyone is able to understand which parameters have to be tracked on the Android modem???Could we find a solution patch for all the modem part bin?? I would like to work on it.
Hardly going to get an answer in themes and apps sections for a firmware question .

So as the title states, I'm not only new to the forum, but to the whole world of stock/custom ROMs, and about 95% of the vernacular that appears in your typical conversations.
Before opening this thread, I did read a few others on the subject of Open Mobile users successfully using customized ROMs of other carriers, but with the loss of 3G and/or MMS. (By the way, the feature that shows similar threads under the title box- genius.) I, too, have fallen into that unfortunate category, but with a stock ROM belonging to Metro PCS. It was completely unintentional, the changeover.
After the first 10 minutes of freaking the out, I got my act together and found this forum, among others with not a single solution to my problem, or that of other users with a situation similar to mine.
I would simply like to know if anyone has been able to fix this problem.
As proof I've check other threads,
-This one is for an HTC Hero and in page 2, post #11, someone offers a possible solution, but the person referred to doesn't respond. And I can't really understand what it says.
-This one offers three posts of nothingness.
-This oneseems to have a user inventing a Battleship/Bingo hybrid with all them numbers and less-than-average use of periods.
I appreciate any help anyone offers. And if I posted this in the wrong section, feel free to move it as needed.
Again, thanks.
As a follow-up, today I realized that I could access the Play Store by using 3G only. I could also browse/download apps and use apps that require internet/data connections, such as Words with Friends and Draw Something.
Basically, all I lack now it internet access (I was able to download another browser even just to make sure it wasn't the original one that was FUBAR) and MMS capability (I can receive pictures, but not 100%; more like 90%).
Any thoughts or suggestions?
