yeah bro i know that .. comon i am a tester of that rom i m in your team of wfsdev and you dont realize wierd.. nywys.. but i do think that my touch isnt that much responsive as it was and i think my radio should be updated

Forget about official updates if you have rooted device.

Wow, neither of you helped this guy, or even tried.
The only thing I would know to do is to find the original ruu for your carrier, flash that, and see where you stand. I'm pretty sure the updater only checks for firmware versions. NOT su installation. Could be wrong though...

What does boot.img and system.yaffs2.img contain?
Edit: no need to feel sad, the update won't release in India for some time.

see bro i explained you about the boot.img its only that much now in detail fr system.yaffs2.img (can be told as system.img too)
system.img is the system folder in your rom. when it is extracted it becomes the system folder..
if you go into system folder yyou will see these folders..
Code:
app
bin
customize
etc
fonts
framework
lip
lost+found
media
usr
xbin
and a file named build.prop
app:
Code:
it is a folder where all system apps are there..
you can paste a apk there to make it the system app
(the system apps dont get updates from market mostly
bin:
Code:
it hellps the icons to animate..
like if the animation has 9 images then to move those nine images
(that is to animate those nine images to become one animation)
the commands are given here in bin
(as far as i know i may be wrong about this)
customize:
Code:
all the customisations are here like your boot animation
(the default one not the customized one)
your default wall paper.. etc
etc:
Code:
all the permisions and etc are here
like the permisions of su , the bluetooth paired devices
your wifi passwords and all
fonts :
Code:
no explaination needed
framework:
Code:
it is a folder where all the jar files are located..
the jar files are used for all the work you do ..
like if you assign the MENU key with a Launcher then
tht assigning is saved into a jar
(this is never used with launchers its just an example)
if you wanna change the theme then you can edit
the framework-res.apk in it :D
lib:
Code:
all the lib like sound plugins this plugin that plugin
lost+found:
Code:
i dont know , its allways empty for me :(
donnt know what it is
media:
Code:
here you can paste the bootanimation.zip
of your own choice to have a
customized bootanimation.zip .
usr:
Code:
here all the icons are located ..
the icon of wifi bluetooth keyboard and all
xbin:
Code:
it is just a bin mostly used as a temp folder :D
the build.prop
Code:
its a file that is as like the updater script
but doesnt update nything but shows the information in the rom,
like what is the build of the rom
what version of the sense
what resolution you want
(the default is 120 but it is changable :D)
got things clear?

[REQ] can anyone port this wp7 rom to wildfire

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458227
the above link is from galaxy ace.....
i think most of us think 2 try wp7......
so plzz if anyone can help......

This ROM isn't WP7, it's just "themed" and by themed I mean it has apps that look like WP7 installed.
Just download the ROM and extract the .apk files that have something to do with the WP7 looks and install them?

i saw a similar version for the galaxy mini which is themed as well but may aswell try it or fun

i know that it is just themed but i don't know how to port a rom...
and how to make changes in framework...

hello all
can anybody tell me how to do following ????????? ( i have just moved over from symbian to ANDROID )
1. how to set default bluetooth received file location to sdcard
2. how to exit apps running in background
3. how to view/create/edit files and folders stored on phone/sdcard
4. can't we change themes ????
5. how much is rooting android related to hacking symbian
6. which is the most safe ics root
7. why does the default music player does not read from zip/rar archives ????
8. is there a detailed android ics guide available ?

1. how to set default bluetooth received file location to sdcard
I don't think you can with the stock HTC ROM.
2. how to exit apps running in background
Not necessary and discouraged because it wastes battery. But if you must, download an app called Advanced Task Killer from Google Play.
3. how to view/create/edit files and folders stored on phone/sdcard
The best app IMHO is ES File Explorer, again at Google Play.
4. can't we change themes ????
Not much theming content for One V yet. Give it time. HTC's stuff can be found using HTC Hub in your app drawer. Once more developers have the One V, they'll be posting it here. General theming stuff can always be found at Google Play.
5. how much is rooting android related to hacking symbian
Can't tell you as I know nothing about Symbian.
6. which is the most safe ics root
Rooting isn't dangerous. Moreover, rooting methods tend to be different for different devices, even if running the same OS. To root the One V, go here:
[TUT]How to Unlock Bootloader and Root your Htc One V
7. why does the default music player does not read from zip/rar archives ????
Don't know, but I don't zip mine. Maybe someone can point you to a media player that reads from archives.
8. is there a detailed android ics guide available ?
Google is your friend here.

I think navigation requires compass sensor in phone, which is absent in one V. U can see no compass warning in the HTC locations app. However u can get directions from map easily.

I don't know that Navigation requires a compass, but you may be right. I have an Android device with a compass (Galaxy Tab 8.9) and Navigation is still not available here on that.

Yeah thats right, google navigation is not a available in India, but proper navigation requires compass as implied by the term itself.

Let me give you a more comprehensive answer ..
1. Default can't be set currently but I can help you transfer files..you need to be rooted...download root exploror and transfer the file from mnt/emmc too mnt/sdcard...
2. To exit background apps (i use it regularly) ...there is a built in task manager in the phone that does the job..
3. Astro File Manager
4. Wait for proper themes..let the custom roms start rolling out...till then you can use HTC skins from personalize menu in settings..
5. Rooting is basically getting access to all internal files for better customization...google "advantages of rooting an Android"....I dunno what hacking symbian is..
6.use ckpv5's guide...it is n00b proof..don't worry ruu(rom update utiluty) are always there...so no tension..
7. Cuz technically speaking they are part of another file type...extract them and music player will read
8. What do ya mean??
gimme a buzz for any more details you want..
Sent from my HTC One V using XDA

Also all people wanting navigation in other countries use " Brut Navigation"....it is a mod of google navigation to make it work in other countries....no difference even name and stuff is same as normal navigation....

It is possible to do this by mount bind the /mnt/emmc/downloads/bluetooth folder to bluetooth folder on sdcard. You need to run the below shell script in order to mount. Unfortunately the mount will be removed after start up. Possibly there is some app which can run this script automatically after start up. You need a rooted phone in order to be able to execute the script and you need to create "bluetooth" folder on your sdcard.
Just create a new file (name it something like bt_to_sdcard.sh) and type below code in it. Then execute in terminal using Terminal Emulator or using Script manager or some other application.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard/bluetooth /mnt/emmc/downloads/bluetooth
Someone knows a better method how to direct the bluetooth dowload folder to sdcard?

erm... bout the navigation... try Waze, its a free social navi app from google play

i tried all i got was with rooting but i think this is some bug as other HTC phones stores bluetooth files on SD card!

Hmm, maybe it's the way you're sesrching. I was able to find the answers to your questions on Google. Maybe chsnging the way you ask might help.
As a sign of good will, the answer to question #2: download advanced task killer from Google Play aka Market.
Answer to question #3: download a file manager such as "root explorer"
The rest is up to you.

Instructions;
1. download file in mediafire
2. unzip with winrar or winzip
3. copy 'photoreader' folder to root of your phone.
4. copy 'system' folder to root
after copied all files set permissions;

Now reboot your phone and enjoy.
Note: some files from henrylife's rom and some files from my friend's S4. thanks to them.

even i capture it it says no information found! pls help me dude
am running 4.2.2 xxufme3 firmware
pls mail [email protected] [email protected] pls do reply as soon as possible!

No optical reader
I have given permission to all folders and all the files inside the folders and still i dont get the optical reader when i reboot

hey
what do you mean? "root of your phone'? do you mean the 'root' folder? or what?

Do any of you would be so kind as to prepare a zip file to flash via recovery? Granting single files is much pain.
Thanks in advance tremendously.

When you say put it on the "root of you phone" are you saying put it in "/" or do you put on the root of the internal sdcard?
Thanks

I need single recovery file too.

Is it working on 4.3 xxemg4?

Yes I Do It, fully working!
First step, download this complete package from another thread on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2352726
Unzip it, and simply copy/paste the folders on /system...
I mean the internal memory of the phone, nor the sdCard, neither the extSdCard - how to say...
in italian /dispositivo if you use esExplorer, or home if you use Root Browser
So, open Optical Reader folder, and copy/paste photoreader folder in /system - again open Optical Reader folder/lib select all copy/paste to /system/lib (must be 11 files) - last step open Optical Reader folder/app select all copy/paste to /system/app
Almost done, now reboot to recovery and wipe cache and then Dalvik - reboot and enjoy!
NO NEED TO SET PERMISSION OF NONE, the app didn't work previosly, for lacking some library, and the diction.apk
You probably need the Samsung store installed to get new library for the translation.
