[Q] any way to get shot ? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there any way to get shot of the auto screen brightness on my X8?
it really annoys me because i have the brightness turned upto full but the screen will only go at its brightest when its in high lighting conditions (obviously).
but i want it so its at its full brightness like its in bright lighting conditions. i dont care about battery life, i have 3 spare batteries for my X8.
so is there any way to disable it at all with hacks and stuff. the phone still has its original Android 2.1 on but is rooted to use a custom launcher.

Yea,just if u use a camera or something.
The brightness will not be seen if u just make a screen shot.

if you mean that you want to get rid of auto brightness then follow this procedure:
open root explorer
go to system folder
then go to lib
then hw folder
lights.shakira.so delete this module

you copy them to sd ...then unmount...then use a file manager with root access like root explorer.. google for apk..i cant provide since it will be warez...then copy them from sd ...go to the folder then mount as R/W ..delete already present files and paste them there....
try with root explorer...
and i need a copy of your HWCONFIG.SH... you ever gonna upload it?

Are you sure it freezes? Mine just takes *ages* to finish that stage.
But yes, delete that folder and you'll be able to rebuild your library from scratch.

Delete the folder (that he said above) via file explorer. You can usually find the folder in the root of your storage card. Works everytime. G/L.
unable to find the hidden folder WMDRM, used the search program on my phone asnd still no luck . do i have to sync my tilt and delete it thru the cpu.
If you are using the standard file explorer, make sure that you have the "show all files" option switched on.
i wish it was that simple
yeah it is. win i pulled up winrar to un rar a file i saw it as a folder but i can't get to it. still haven't sync phone, @ wrk
If it 1 thing its another

after this it updating says it found 2087 files but only adds the file save to the phone not the memory card. doeas this sound familiar to any one
yeah use Total Commander or another "good" file explorer. & remove the "WMDRM" folder... it should be in the root folder of your SD card...
even then, if you have a TON of mp3's you may have to wait 5 minutes while it updates... I've had to reboot when it freezes & its hard to tell when its just taking forever & when its frozen :S
If that STILL doesn't work, try putting your files back on your desktop computer, then put your SD card in your computer, and re-transferring them that way.
Hope that helps

Downanimation is for when you power off the phone. You can leave that alone.
Yes if you do not rename the old bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zipold it will over write the old file.
now how do i get it from the pc and into the actual system file??? not the sd card
edit!!!!!!!! nvm got it in there!!!!!!11
Edit 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! now it tells me i cant move it into the system/media???

You can push it through ADB if you have it installed but I don't want to confuse you.
1. Plug your phone into the computer. Mount disk drive. ( depending what rom you have you might have to put it in internet pass through mode then usb disk drive)
2. Drag the file onto the sd card. Unmount phone.
3. Using your favorite file manager( RECOMEND ROOT EXPLORER!!) move the bootanimation.zip from the sd card into the correct file folder.
4. With root explorer the correct file system should /system/media folder
inside the media file folder will be the old bootanimation.( rename it to bootanimation.zipold
5. paste new bootanimation.zip reboot and enjoy

Make sure root explorer is not mounted as read only. toggle it in the upper right corner

Yes but it is worth ever penny and a rooted users best friend. You only have to pay for it once and will transfer to another device in the future with your gmail account. I have five devices that have my gmail account and all of them have my paid apps.
still tells me that i cant rename and or copy or move!!!! WTF!!!! lol.. u think i can flash this??
Edit and i cant get root explorer yet!!!! lol but file manager everything shows up like i can just flash it like a rom??? wht you think?
I made a flashable zip. I'll upload it in alittle bit

Don't think it'll work on our device. And if it did work for the fascinate you would prolly need to be on a touch wiz rom as well.

What Chopper said could be true. At any rate try this:
Long press on your file
Hit extract
Go to the extracted folder
Long press on your extracted file
Hit move or copy
Navigate to system /app folder
Hit the system rw if necessary
Paste the file
Re boot

I have a different app but same problem. I have ES File Explorer I can copy the file but when I get to system/app I have not been able to figure out how to paste the file. Anyplace I do the long press in system/app there is an app that it thinks I'm wanting to do something with and I don't get the paste option. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Okay so I figured out how to paste it and it wasn't allowed. No I can't find the apk at all. I have even cleared cache and tried to re-download and I get the Ballero-2.apk actually I am up to Ballero-5.apk and can find none of those either.

Es file explorer is not as consistent when it comes to giving you root access, which is what you need to paste in system, app. Imo, root explorer is a must.
Edit; although I read that you can obtain that permission somewhere in the es file explorer settings

Titanium backup update.zip question

Where is th update. Zip file located
I creaed update.Zip file but im not able to find it
Its located in /sdcard
i still not able to find it
when you create the update.zip file, and it's finished, the notification bar will have a notification about the path, check that. If it's not there, may be the zip was not created successfully.
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
Was this solved? I can't find the file either.. it's not in the root of the sdcard, I've tried to create it twice and searched for it. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
dont you get a notification of completion of the process and when you pull it down, you can see where its located ?
I'm having the same problem. If I look with root explorer, it exists on the root of the SD, but I can't see it in windows? Maybe it's a 2GB file limit thing or something?
but the update.zip is not more than 4MB

Answering my own question - its definitely located in the root, just not visible in Windows no matter what I do. Use a root explorer to grab it and move it to a flash drive or remote network location, that's what I did and it worked great.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I used wifi file transfer. I was able to download the file from there.
I had this problem. Try simply unplugging your phone from the USB cord, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back into your PC. Your PC should now see the update.zip.
One of common prob's with MTP !!
just do a search in root explorer, i got 4 locations of the same file on my galaxy s3 so you can find it in anyone of those.
and yes it is the same file in all of those locations, i even tried to change the name on one of them to check if all of them changed and they did
/data/media/0/update.zip
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/update.zip
/storage/emulated/0/update.zip
Move the file out of the root directory and put it a folder, any folder. It will then show up on windows.

This worked for me! Although I used the stock file manager. After moving the update.zip to another location using file manager, I was able to see the file via Windows as well.
just change the file name and retry. worked for me
C:\> adb pull /sdcard/update.zip

How to install game data?

Can someone tell me how to install game data in the phone memory. I am facing a problem. In tutorials of installing games hitman go and Leo' fortune, it is said that to copy the data to obb folder. But there's no obb folder and when I make it gives me an error: "change the folder name" or something.... And when I put the data in the "data" folder, the games say "you have not purchased the game"... Please help!
Sent from my XT1092 using XDA Free mobile app
You have to connect your phone to a computer and then you will be able to see the obb folder through the computer. For some reason, it can't be seen through the phone. Not sure if this is due to a lack of root or not. I've had some problems with games still not working, but that could be for an unrelated reason.
Well, in my case i was not able to see the obb folder or create one on my mac. What u can do is:-
1) Install ES File Explorer.
2)copy your obb file into the internal storage.
3)There is an option of "windows" in the file explorer.
4)Then click new on the bottom left.
5)select type file(local).
6)enter path"/sdcard"
7)then use search and type "obb" and enter the folder. now you should be able to see the "obb" folder.
8)now switch "windows".
9)now you can select the obb file and use "cut" option and then switch "windows" by swiping in from right and selecting the obb folder.
10)now just paste your file there and then install apk and run your game.
Thnx !
Thnx to both of U!!! I found it now!!! Thnx again!
