[Q] camera flash not working - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
i just flashed the 'Energy.XPERIA.28244.Sense2.5.Feb.01' rom onto my dads x1, which was still stock from the day he bought it haha.
the flashing process went fine, but the camera flash doesnt work, nor can i find the setting to activate it.
Also, is there any way to make the font size in the sms app bigger? i already set it to largest in the font size, but is there a zoom function of sorts or a mod to make it even bigger? even on largest, its still a tad small for my dad.
thanks guys,
kylec

Make MicroSD your main storage for camera

Hi Everyone,
I just got my xperia x1 for 2 weeks. Was able to read alot from the forum and successfully unlock the bios to be able to flash any custom roms. Was happy on the outcome. However I ran into storage issue, I was wondering if anyone have any ideas how to make the microSD to be the default storage for the camera function for taking movies and pictures.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe by simply selecting the option from the camera menu?

Click on the little wrench icon...
Then click on the down arrow in the lower right hand corner of the screen
then on the left hand side you will see three icons (tabs).
pick the top tab. It should look like a camera AND a film strip
under there you will see option to save to card as default.
Thank you for responding that helped my question got resolved.

Weird camera issues

Hey all...I have been using the STAXX STYLES 6.5 ROM for awhile now...and I just cannot stand this problem anymore. My camera seems to be wayyy off. When I point it at something, the image shown on the screen is indeed what I am looking at, but when I take a picture, it takes an image of like the upper left hand section of the screen at what looks like max zoom. For the life of me I cannot figure out what is the problem. The reason why I havent simply updated ROM's is because I like this one. Yes I know that that is the first step to getting things like this fixed...but I would really like to stay on this one. Anywho, device info here, thanks for any help.

Is this a new problem or has it existed as long as you've had this ROM? You could try hard-resetting this ROM if you haven't done that already.
No, it has always happened on this ROM...which is why I say I know that it could probobly be fixed by a flash..but I REALLY don't want to. I strayed away from this ROM once, and lets just say I don't wanna do that again. I dunno...ive had a half dozen WinMo devices...and once I get a ROM I really like, I don't ever change it. I updated to the newer STAXX STYLE and everything was moved/different...simply put this has the kernel version that I like, and a visual style that I like aswell. So a fix would be great. As far as I remember, this did not occur on a different ROM. So I do not believe that it is the phone itself.

Also this camera app is better!

display resolution

the display resolution of my wildfire is so **** looks like i an using some old black and white handset, i got rooted wildfire any one knows how to get it better? thanks
adb pull /system/build.prop
Edit the file
find "ro.sf.lcd_density = 120"
change 120 to something like 100
save
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
thx but no idea
thx buddy but i dont know how is that all done
i have adb installed in my computer though
what rom are you using?
post your build.prob here and i could make an zip to flash
Well the resolution is what it is. I don't know if changing the dpi of the screen would make it look sharper or anything , but the resolution is hardware. Not changeable by software.
ok
i just want the texts to be sharper than it is now, coz i cant read any thing on web unless i zoom in, texts are fractioned so its hard to understand

when maybe dpi should be 140.
but less things will fit on screen but they should be bigger, like a "zoom in"

wht abt colour
gyz what abt the colour, colour looks really bad on wildfire if i install a new theme will it change the colour setting or is there any other trick to get better colour?
I just tried this and the results... well adwlauncher got a really interesting the actionbutton background totally messed up and the icons in notification actually looks worse. Text is slightly better i think though. All in all , no thanks. 8)
(and the resolution is still the same , but the ui 'takes up less of the screen' sorta)
Going the other way might make it look nicer , but i suspect the same problems arise , and also icons would hardly fit and so on... less space for stuff on the screen is a bigger problem than a little bit uncrisp graphics imo.
Edit: Didnt see your packages there Danne , i ripped it out and edited it , gonna try 140 too tho.
messy
i tried with the 140 one
things are proper messed up now its pretty worse thn i xpected, i am gonna try 100 one and post the result
Tried both now.
Apps don't scale that well , i guess the dpi change works on the larger phones cause they have the space to let text fit anyway and so on. Snowstorm in 140 has text all over it , adw actionbuttons are better but not that good and so on...
So then we could drop this idea for mean while
result for 100
tried the 100 one. texts looked a little bit better to me but things wont fit in the screen like when there is an app on homescreen text are half visible, not good, any other idea gyz?
and one more thing can anyone send me apk for rom manager because somehow my market wont show rom manager and tried scanning the qr code still wont work. it would be great, thanks for trying to help everyone, hope someone finds a better way.

Yeah, to be honest i didn't expect it to really get better , i did think the system would be better att resizing it all though.
As i said earlier , it's the resolution on the wildfire that isn't good enough to get the crispness of other phones.
I have a question about the .zip's you post too btw.
Would it be possible to switch the build.prop inside the archive and flash that, or is there some kinda checksum that would only allow the original file to be inside?
If it is possible to change the files , would you mind putting together a .zip that copies files into /system/fonts/ ?
I downloaded linux and stuff to try to get a rom-cooker working but my linux skills are fail. Hmm , is there a windows cooker available?

You can mod package without re-signing them with SignApk, it's only recommanded to signapk when you mod vanilla.apks

yes you can change build.probs in the zip
just make a folder called fonts and put that in one of the zips i added in this thread. remove build.prop and you should have a zip that update the fonts

[Q] Hi, Im new and have some questiones wallpapers etc

I just got the gtablet for christmas and I just found this forum. I hope this wasnt asked before if it was please direct me. How do I change the wallpaper? I have it setup as classic home. Also while on classic home I only have the following icons weather, news, photos,music, videos, and clock how do I get all my icons there instead of touching the 3rd icon down in the lil tool box on the side? I also read on here about people loading different software on instead of the taptap thing it uses. What are the advantages of the different software? Sorry its long..Thanks

Maybe start here: http://gtabfans.com/
That will give you some basics about the different roms and other things.
Then read, and read, and read some more.
Most importantly is whatever you decide.. "Follow The Steps EXACTLY" Don't not do them because it just doesn't seem right. It is very easy to mod this tablet. It is also very easy to run into problems. None of the problems are real serious, and can be fixed but they will make you nuts trying to figure out what happened. So follow the directions....
The reason people put different roms on there tablet, or phone, or whatever is to gain features, to fix things that don't work right, and to gain performance. Out of the box the tablet is not bad nowadays in comparison to what was loaded on it when I first got mine.
If you are new to this, read, read, read....... And don't be afraid. It is hard to really break this thing...
im so lost lol i tried to install that clockwordmod thingy and i cant get it...so frustrating
I believe there are two different update.zip files for clockwork. One for internal sd and one for external. I used the external. Put it on micro sd, insert, power down, boot into recovery with power and volume +, and voila... There are several great tutorials on this site...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i finally got the clockwork thing to work now i have tnt on it...how do i change wallpapers? also how do i get a cool time widget on the screen like sum pics i saw around here? thanks

1st, Way to go with making the move to a custom rom.
Setting wallpaper
-All you need to do is press and hold on the home screen.
-You will see a pop up with options.
-Go to wallpaper.
-Select where you are getting the wallpaper from.
-Choose your wallpaper and you will have to crop it a bit and save...
You should now have your wallpaper set.
For Clocks you need to go to the market and choose your preference of clocks for example like typoclock and do sort of the same as above but this time with widgets.
Hope that helps.
how do i make custom wallpaper or install ones people made on here to download?
If you download an image from the Gtablet or just transfer it to it, it should show up in your gallery. For me, I usually need to reboot for the Gallery to see new images. Once you get the wallpaper popup, one of the options is Gallery. Use that, find your image and select it.
Most of all spend some time screwing around with Android and learn the OS. Always remember the long press and the menu key. They are th skeleton keys to Android. If there's and option you're looking for, one of those two is usually how you'll find it.

regarding font size on stock ICS + sense 3.6

Hi,
i've looked around but it seems i am the only one with this problem:
Since i've got the OTA font size has become so small i can barely read text and menus. I think it has to do with a different way to handle dpi density on ics (??!), anyway the situation was so terrible i unlocked at htcdev and flashed Nik's Project X (which is great by the way) and thanks god (and Nik) it solved the problem. Now that WE WANT ICS v4 is out i was just wondering if it handles text the same way as stock or if it's modded.
I apologise in advance for my use of english, i'm from rome
I never had problems reading text in We_Want_ICS v3. I guess in v4 it's pretty much the same but I can't tell U for sure because my phone is getting repaired... But you can test it yourself. Backup your current ROM, flash We_Want_ICS v4 and see if you can read the text properly. But I think you can edit font size in settings anyway. But I'm not sure though...
I hope this helped a little...
I always thought the text size in Gingerbread was too big so I quite like them in ICS, everyone is different though, I think there should always be a setting to change this kind of thing, if Cyanogenmod can do it, why can't HTC do it in HTC Sense...
I remember the first update from froyo to gb came with supersize fonte as a bug: best ten minutes of my life (then i got another ota which fixed them )
