hey everyone i just got a samsung focus s yesterday and i was wondering would i go about dev unlocking the same way as the regular focus? i had the original focus and had it dev unlocked to side load apps and all that, but that was even before the no-do update.. just curious, do you unlock it the same way? any info would be awesome thanks everyone!

The right way would be through Chevron WP7 labs, costs $9. Then, you can deploy XAPs, interop unlock, etc.
i did all that and bought the token and it says its unlocked, how can i tell? isnt there a number i can dial to check to see if it is dev unlocked?
I don't believe there is a way to verify it other than than to try and sideload an app. Gotta have faith.

I Chevron-unlocked & interop-unlocked my Focus S yesterday, and sideloaded Advanced Configuration Tools, but I can't seem to get anything to work. Advanced Configuration Tools installs and runs just fine, but everytime I try to change theme colors (all I tried to do so far), I get a message that it "can't apply changes"!
There must be something different with this phone as opposed to the original Focus (which I was able to do these kinds of things without any problem at all) - i.e., different drivers, another layer of security, etc. Whatever it is, I'm anxious for someone to crack it, as all I really want to do is change my theme colors - the original ones get REALLY boring after a while!

I haven't been able to get any xap that changes registry settings to work. Must be a problem with second gen phones.

HD7 Works
I can confirm that as long as you unlock a pre-nodo version (7004 etc) and ensure that it stays unlocked you can successfully install the Mango Beta. You need to find the files for yourself though or sign up to be an developer and you will get the links.
Google is your friend.

I've installed it and it sucks. All the sideloaded apllications doesn't work anymore. I can get no connection with messenger, email accounts .... Marketplace gives continuously errors.
I don't see any advantage in the mango beta. Rolling back ... I hope a next version will be better.

MOST side loaded apps don't work because Mango does support INTEROP_Services or what ever it's called. That means the file browsers/registry editors/other apps using native code. As for messenger, some have said they got it working,but you must remember, it's a BETA for a reason. My Email works just fine & so does the Market. The install process for apps seems better now. You can now query apps for install instead of having to wait for one to finish & the search is awesome. I had to reset my HD7 because of the failed connection error & had everything re-installed in like 30 mins. Something I must have changed in the reg or some app(s) must have been causing the failed connection.
Works great for me. The only thing that doesn't work is the messaging feature with windows messenger. Didn't try Facebook and twitter, however. All in all its still pretty stable for beta use.

Thanks for the info. I think I will reset my phone this weekend and give it another try and after installing the beta I will reinstall the apps. Did you experience any freezing? It seems to me that sometimes it hangs a while for example when scroling the tiles.

Nope, it's been running smooth for me.
Few apps didnt work like the registry ones but like someone already said, its because mango does not allow apps to be sideloaded that access outside the allowed API's.
Other sideloaded apps worked fine though I think mango is great even in its beta stage.
Has anyone been able to keep the phone chevron unlocked when upgrading to mango. Tried the bat files from windowsphonehacker but my phone was locked after the update.
Do the other files keep the phone unlocked after update. Ive been trying to google them for the past couple of hours and I cant find them. Obviously Im not googling the right words.
Anyways should I continue looking or is it all for not if the phone relocks itself anyway. I have an idea if both relocks the phone but I dont want to waste my time looking for the files. Since to unlock I gotta go all the way back to pre-nodo.... Already did it twice...lol

When you install the beta, do you lose your files, texts, music,... or is it like any other update?
i updated my phone to mango and all seems great no issues what so ever live messenger works fine you can even make your own ringtones. I dont have my device unlocked and i didnt loose any info durring the upgrade
I have this update for like 5 days.
Overall experience is good.
OS is running smooth, but apps aren't - Facebook, foursquare.
I've found a dozen of bugs for the moment ( I'm a QA engineer for a software company ) but the most annoying is the one that keep rebooting the phone after 2-5 minutes of browsing the net, with an application or browser.
That's deff a big issue that will force me too downgrade. Hope for a new build soon as the mango update is pretty slick
Running good for a day now, no issues so far
Just get info about system update to version 2.30.405.1

Yes you will lose root if you take the OTA. The biggest change that was made between 2.12.405.7 and 2.30.405.1 is that they have fixed all of the temp root exploits. So not only will you lose root, but you will not be able to re-root until a new root exploit is found.
Thank you for quick response.

Scrub that, Picasa add in stops working. As useless as it ever was.
Pretty fed up with HTC, they are nowhere near the Company they used to be. Flaky software, useless support, the farce of HTCSENSE.
Horrible.
After reading a few threads about this update, all I ever see is people querying and *****ing about losing their S-OFF. Is there an actual change list available so I see what exactly has been done?

text prediction(suggestion) in portrait mode not working
Hi guys, I have successfully updated to this version.
However the most frustrated thing is when I am typing text in portrait mode, no matter what app (web browser, calendar, message, map, or 3rd party app, etc) I am typing in, the word prediction (suggestion) does not work anymore (or it does, but I could not see all the possible suggestions as I used to if I misspell something, then it just automatically picked one suggestion to replace my word)!! Only when I change to landscape mode they start to appear.
This never happened before this update, and also, before, when I typed on the text box, the keyboard would appear as well as the cursor positioning where my text will display. So I could still see part of the original screen of the app. But now, the text box basically expands a lot so I could not see anything else on my screen apart from the white, ugly, big text box which takes more than half of my screen and the keyboard, nothing else!!
I am wondering if anyone else who updated to this version has the same issue. This is bad, bad, and bad!!
Cheers!!

Phone needs to be rooted. Once rooted, install ShootMe
Thanks ultim for the tip. Cheers...
Or you can install MyPhoneExplorer, and it doesn't requiere your phone to be root'ed.

Phone not rooted, no problem. You can install No root screen shot IT, or if you install DroidExplorer in your PC, connect and use the function screenshot.
find a photoshooting app in Market.
arrr......root...root........sigh
I personally use the 'screenshot' app. It is guaranteed to work on rooted phones as well as some non-rooted devices. I know it works on Inc S rooted but not sure without. Some settings are kind of neat such as shake your phone to take a screen shot.
hope this helps
now it's not a big deal to root, try it! cheers~
Hi! :laugh:
I really miss HTC Clock from my old HTC 8X and I would love to have it on my Nokia Lumia 920. I wanted to install it using the Fiddler2 method but that didn't work because WXGA resolution isn't supported by the application. So, here's what I thought:
ATIV S users should be able to install HTC Clock using Fiddler2 method because the resolution is the same. After they install the app they could get the encrypted XAP using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462730
I don't know if the application uses "ID_CAP_INTEROP", if yes, I suppose we wouldn't be able to deploy the application on dev-unlocked phones and this would be useless, but if not It should only be necessary to open WMAppMainfest.xml and add this tag in <ScreenResolutions>:
Code:
<ScreenResolution Name="ID_RESOLUTION_WXGA" />
Even though the application wouldn't run (i don't really know if it would), the live tile should work fine, no?
I'm afraid that Interop is required to update the live tile every minute, but I would know your opinion about that.
Bye :fingers-crossed:.
You tried this ? (if you have developer account)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260156
Sadly enough, because of unexpected limitations the time only updates every ~40 minutes when you download
the TimeMe application from the store, you can however download a sideload version which requires a developer
unlocked phone from the project website: http://projects.arnoldvink.com which will update the time every minute.

Wow thank you, this app is great! :highfive:
Anyway I can't see any option to display only the clock just like HTC application does. The app overall is great, but most important since this app updates the clock every minute without interop capabilities maybe it's really possible to port HTC clock to all WP8 phones! :laugh:
Could someone with an unlocked ATIV S try this? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks very much
Sent from my RM-821_apac_australia_new_zealand_304 using Tapatalk
I tried it, the app verifies if you are really using a HTC Device, if not, the clock won't work. You just get a blank tile like on my ATIV S.
Cine Shot (Partial Motion Still Photos) working on LG V30 - APP link & Instructions.
Hey all, been a while since I've had any new discoveries because I have been busy with a move across the country, but I think this one was worth waiting for :good:
This post is a tough one to categorize, as its an "app" and its a "mod" but I also needed to include a little guide to help you all get it working. So I went with the Apps and Mods section, but if an Admin thinks this should go in the Guides section, I am totally cool with that.
Pre Install Notes:
This has been tested on my Rooted & Frankensteined LG V30 ThinQ LS-L998 on Sprint running US99827a software Security Patch Jan 1.19.
I do not know if this will work on non rooted devices simply because I haven't been able to test it on one. I do believe that this will work the same on a non-root V30 but I'll wait for confirmation from one of you... SOOOO if you have a non rooted device and you try this out, please let us know if its working.
Thank Yous:
A big thanks to @trouble. for requesting the G8 stock system apps in the G8 section & thanks to @iknow786 for originally providing the files which I used to make the link to the cineshot app below. If I did not happen across that thread we wouldn't have this new trick, so thank you both. Also a big thanks to all of the awesome folks that have kept the V30 development alive and kicking this long into the devices lifecycle. Very cool to see so many talented people still doing things for this community every single day. I cant begin to list everyone, but if you are active in here, you know who the folks are that have been grinding away at this all this time.
Ok so lets get you CineShooting!
Step 1) Go to the following link...
https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Pxy8B1k19Q8ALiHc1FeYUHb3c8y4DnJI
Steo 1a) Download, and install the CineShot apk.
(Im hosting this on one of my drives, so if anyone has issues with the download, now or months from now, PM me and I'll fix it. If its a while from now and you just write "dead link" in this thread I prob won't see it, so that's why I am recommending a PM. )
(Since I have not yet figured out how to integrate this new app into our camera app, you will need to launch the CineShot main process using one of the programs I will mention in step 2. I am including some screenshots for those new to this. Hopefully this post will be updated in the future with how to integrate the cineshot capabilities into the regular camera section, but for now this is what we have)
Step 2) Once you have installed the CineShot apk to your device you will need a shortcut maker program to access it.
Personally I am partial to Shortcut Master, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en but other apps like "QuicksShortcutMaker" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en_US (tested and works) should word as well. So if you don't already have one, download one of those two or your own favorite.
Step 2a) Open your shortcut program and find CineShot by either scrolling to it or searching "Cine" or "CineShot". No matter which program you used you should see at least one option under the CineShot app ending with the words ".MainActivity ". Go ahead and favorite or create shortcut for this process, as you'll want to have a quick way to get back to CineShot mode. Now go ahead and click that option and your device should launch into cineshot mode.
Cine Shot Mode - How-To:
Pretty basic stuff here. Point and shoot at whatever you want (objects should be moving in your frame otherwise your just taking a normal picture). It will record 3 seconds. After it stabilizes your "video" it will then show you options to draw with your finger on the moving parts of the images that you still want to move. Do this, and then save. You now have a cineshot image with partial movement of the image.
That's it. Pretty easy stuff. If you followed the very simple steps you should be able to record using either your front or back camera, and cineshot should be fully working, or at least as fully as it can on our devices. Enjoy.
I don't have any fun stuff nearby to post a good example of a cool Cine Shot Pic, so if you guys and gals take any, please share so people can see what the fuss is about.
And as always, feel free to share the love with a click on that "Thanks" button if this post helped you out
*** Reserved for future post - updates ***
Side Note: From that same cache of G8 apks, I was able to get the My Avatar app partially working using the same steps as above but with that specific APK obviously. Unfortunately, while it will take my picture, it will not spit out an avatar, so some sort of framework or back end stuff is not enabled. Anyone that has access to the newer devices with this, if you can find the additional necessary files, we could prob get this working too.
Anyone interested in checking out the G8 stock apps in the original thread I mentioned above can find that thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/themes/lg-g8-preinstalled-apps-t3904050
Other apps that I got to install from the g8 are these: Humanavatar (My Avatar) LGContentsettings (Wallpaper and Theme. Not sure what this updates though) and an update to the Tasks app.
Be cautious installing things you don't know anything about. As always, its your phone, so beware, and there are no guarantees yada yada yada.
It doesn't integrate with the camera because only camera apps built for pie onwards have that functionality. Once enabled in camera config files it crashes the camera app immediately.

Any idea why it crashes it? I mean other than it wasnt meant to work. Since the actual mode is functional I wonder if anything is actually missing in the Oreos framework/camera that needs to be there.

I'm glad you commented, as I was going to message you to ask your opinion on the My Avatar creation feature I mentioned after the original post. I can get it to snap a pic of my face, and it recognize I'm a person and takes the pic, but when it goes to process and spit out an Avatar it fails.
Since you're a good bit more advanced than I am, maybe you had an idea about what's keeping it from working.
