hello, i'm trying to replace my welcomehead.96.png file in my windows directory to a vista style bootup screen. i have a wm 6.1 rom upgrade. it won't let me replace the file at all. the original is read only so i uncheck where it says read only and before i can replace the file with my new one it goes back to read only on its own. any ideas or anyone who can help? thanks
same here, i need help
Same problem. No one will help us?
Is there a way of changing the settings so that you can see the file extensions in explorer without selecting the file?
Hello.
I try many rom, but I have the problem with proximity sensor in my galaxy S (i9000).
I change the hardware (proximity sensor with 3.5 audio jack), but problem still.
Then I answer to call the phone freez, and the screen goes black.
I found the file in system/lib/hw/ sensors.default.so
In this file is all information about all sensors, then I delete this file the problem with this sensor is gone, but not work all sensors (rotate, etc).
How I can edit this file to delete information only about proximity sensor?
Maybe somebody can send the file sensors.default.so without proximity sensor information?
Thank You
Mine does exatly the same. I am not sure, but I believe my Galaxy S has sustained salt water damage to the microusb port, and just below that as you know is are the light and proximity sensors. I am pretty sure this is why it's playing up exactly as you describe.
I do flash a fair bit though, so it may simply be firmware related, I am yet to find out, but i doubt it.
Did anyone find fix for this one as mine i9000 does same thing

I buy other phone with broken screen.
I managed to disable only proximity sensor on my i9000 with cm7.
So here is how to make it if somebody need it.
IMPORTANT: Make backup of your firmware!
Requirements:
Root-ed phone
File manager with acess & permitions to write to system (i used ES File Explorer)
PC with HEX Editor
Steps:
1. With superuser grant acess to ES File Explorer
2. In ES File Explorer go to settings and togle all 3 boxes in category Root settings
3. Navigate to root of your device
4. Go to system/lib/hw/
5. Copy sensor.aries.so to sdcard
6. Transfer on computer and open file sensor.aries.so in HEX editor
7. Find all parts where ProximitySensor is mentioned, do not delete it only replace ProximitySensor to PPPPPPPPPPPPPPP (it can be anything but we must keep number of letters exact like original so anything with 15 characters is ok)
8. Save file sensor.aries.so to sdcard
9. Replace sensor.aries.so on your phone with this modified version
10. Reboot phone
11. Make test call and see only proximity sensor is disabled
In attachment is file i made, please note i made it for my I9000 with CM 7.2 so i dont know will it work for other firmwares.
@ poliusss - thanks for pointing to system/lib/hw/ sensors.default.so it helped me a lot.

Could you please tell me what Hex Editor did you use and how did you edit it? I have an hardware issue related to compass and I would like to block al readings.
I used HexEdit v1.03 found it online its free tool so i attach it here.
Opened sensors.aries.so with it and searched for proximity sensor and replaced characters by letter P
In find function of program it is important to use big and small caps, so you must search for: CompassSensor
and replace it by: CCCCCCCCCCCCC
I attach you here file with only compass disabled but please make backup before as i didnt test it.
Hope it will solve your problem

Thank you for your help and for your quick replay
I've tried to edit file using your tutorial but no luck (stuck at boot animation), the good news is that your edited sensors.aries.so it's compatible with aokp i've tested and is working...but proxymity sensor and light sensor are also dead , also my problem remains there even with no proximity and no light sensor because I still get some readings even if my compass won't move (gps status detect activity on mag. field)
Try to delete sensors.aries.so and restart phone it will disable all sensors, if then problem stops than its posible to change sensors.aries.so to correct it, only trick is to find what you must modify.
I modified file you attached also find and changed magnetic sensor in it so disabled it try now
File is in attachment.

Thank you, I forgot to mention...I've updated my kernel to semaphore 1.1.0 and since then my phone behaves almost normal (compass show me wrong direction but at least no longer resets itself )
hi all
i have known green tint pictures problem. my phone has root and also s-off. i tried the method that changes awb.cal file but es file explorer cannot overwrite the file and it gives not enough space failure message. i guess i need to flash a custom kernel but i dont want to do it. so my question is if there is any other way to fix this annoying problem.

You need an unsecured kernel to write files to this partition or you can try to push the file to the right location using adb from custom recovery or using twrp's file manager.

Hi everyone!
I currently have the Galaxy S6 running 7.0 on the May update (G920TUVU5FQE1)
I accidentally hit the delete button on my Root Explorer app instead of Cut, and deleted the folder containing my keyboard (SamsungIMEv5_SYSTEMUID)
Ive done some heavy modifications to the system which is why I dont want to reflash the firmware to fix this, so can someone please send me their folder from the "system/app" so I can use my phones keyboard again please
(the folder might have the .ODEX file as well, please just send the whole folder)
I appreciate it in advance!
Happy Modding!
so I deleted a lot of things I didn't need, one of those being the stock file manager with the blue icon named "files" and now I can't enable apps to write to the SD card because apparently it needs that app to grant SD card usage and I can't find it anywhere, does anyone can share it please?
thanks in advance
EDIT:
managed to get it by merging the sparsechunks to create a .img file and then extracting it, if you ever need it here is the guide:
