Diagnostic (i think) code? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is the code to punch into your phone to bring up the menu where you can change network type and all that?
I did a search and i can find is *#*#3424#*#* which does nothing. I saw it in the tazz thread once but now can't find it. thanks.

##778#, Send, Edit mode, 000000 for passcode. Or you can download Anycut and add a shortcut to the home screen for Anycut, then CDMA options, and change some things there.

Thanks

Info: Bypassing Activation

Through my hours scavenging XDA and related sites, I've found ways of getting past activation. If your not aware the MOTO Droid bypass trick (by hitting the corners) won't work on the Eris, atleast with the ROMs I've used. But here are some helpful things to try to keep your Eris from being a paperweight.
....Easiest things first.....
This has never worked for me but it wouldn't hurt to try it:
At the activation screen right before you call to activate,(below the statusbar)tap the top left corner of the screen then the top right, then continue to the bottom (just above the call button) and then tap right above the emergency call button. Then it should say skip activation
...Now for things that have worked for me in previous builds.....
Tap the activate or "try again" button then hang up. Do this 3 or 4 times. That should do the trick
.....One that sounds like it should work for 2.0.....
Press activate then immeadetly press home or menu. This is actually a bug they fixed in the OTA update.
...The one that always works for me...
On any screen you will see the emergency call button
Push it.. yes now push the button, no it will not call the cops
Now dial ##778 and push call
Wait a sec and push edit
This will open up your phone activation settings
Now go into your NAM settings and look for anything that resembles a phone number, I had to mess around with it a bit. But I changed some values from 00000000631 to some random number. After that push menu and write the values then reboot. If you did it right you will see the tutorial on how to enter text.
Hope this helped

Forgot one part. Before entering the nam settings it will ask you for a code. Enter 6 zeros there

By Pass Activation
This is what worked for me. No I didn't figure it out, whoever did is a genius.
As many people notice tapping 4 corners on HTC eris doesnt work because the version of it is different from regular DROID but this is the only way you can bypass it.
STEP 1) press EMERGENCY CALL
STEP 2) DIAL ##778 (CALL)
STEP 3) PRESS EDIT MODE
STEP 4) ENTER PASSWORD WHICH IS: 000000
STEP 5) TAP NAM Settings
STEP 6) Enter Your 10 digit phone number press OK
STEP 7) TAP NAM 1 and enter you 7 digid cel phone number without area code
STEP 8) TAP NAM 2 enter your 3 digit area code
STEP 9) TAP back
STEP 10) TAP SID/NID settings and change the left box to: 40 leave the right box as it is(then tap ok)
STEP 11) TAP MENU
STEP 12) TAP COMMIT MOD.
AFTER STEP 12 the android eris will restart in 10 seconds and will bypass the main activation screen.
This is the manual configuation for HTC ERIS
All Not working
I have tried all the above options, but non seems to be working (maybe its new firmware, and all have been blocked)
Any1 knows of any new hacks to bypass the activation ?
BTW, I have unlocked the GSM part with xtc clip
Thanks

Are you trying this from a stock based sense ROM like xtrsense? Or an aosp/cm ROM? It won't work on aosp/cm. You need to be on stock based.

Isn't the Eris CDMA only?

I thanked your post anyway even though you revived a thread that's been inactive for five years.

Can't change or personalize softkey....

I'm running Gingeritis VIII. When I click on the button (right of the phone button @ the bottom of the screen), it comes up with the web. For some reason, it's not prompting me to change the function or setting of that button. I've reloaded the OS again, and still the same thing. Am I missing something? Can someone tell me how to change the function when I launch the icon?
Thanks in advance.
Update...Figured it out...It's in the Rosie settings.
I did wonder about this for a while till I found it.
I do wish you could set it back to the personalize window though :\ so instead, I just had to set it to system settings.

Found hidden keyboard debug mode with themes and voice search

I was playing with anycut a shortcut creation app and found a shortcut for a debug keyboard. It has four diffrent color screens. It also has a debug option with voice search. I haven't got that working yet. I m currently using the stone them much darker.
Can you post a screenshot? This sounds pretty awesome
Here are the pics of stone keyboard and keboard debug. UPDATE. After entering debug mode, I went to assiablity setting menu and found I could switch keyboards. I I'm now running swift keyboard.
I found the debug keyboards, and the acessibility menu with the input options. How did you enable swift keyboard? I have installed plus a couple other keyboards and i cant enable them so they are a option in the input methods.

Can we use it to install different keyboard apk, or just to change themes?

It does change the themes however I was able to get Swift Keyboard installed. I can switch between SK and android keyboard. The problem is I can't duplicate the results leaving it difficult to instruct others in the process. Sorry

How about giving us a general idea? We won't beat you up too bad if it's incomplete or doesn't work. Perhaps someone else will take your starting point and flesh it out.
Thanks!
yah, just instruction on how to get the menu open would help. no worries if we can't reproduce. it would just give us a starting point

I figured it out.
1. Install anycut: http://li362-167.members.linode.com/gapps/non_google/com.appdroid.anycut.apk
2. Open Anycut, Create a New Shortcut.
3. Pick "Activity"
4. Pick "Android Keyboard Debug"
5. Success!

Did you install your keyboard in any specific way? I suspect just downloading an APK is not going to work here.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Never mind, i have a complete procedure now. I have installed hacker keyboard! I will post it in a new thread in a little while.
Nice. I was able to change the theme. But in the accessibility menu, I only had one selection: android keyboard, even though I have thumb keyboard and swift keyboard installed.

I installed from google market i own SK I also opened it after installation went through the settings. I think I got a force close error i rebooted looked for the keyboard in the device setting. It wasnt there, So I just left it alone. A couple days later after doing a ton of stuff to the nook I found that installing kb's creates a hidden debug menu. I messed with some themes and enabled debug menu. Then I was just looking at the device menu, accessibility menu and checked input methods and there was swift keyboard. Sorry I had given up on installing an after market kb. I did it by accident. I also should mention I am rooted. I. have tried this with other keyboards with no luck.

Check the box that says "version 2.3.4". That puts it in debug mode.
When you go into accessibility, hit "cancel" on the prompt. Then hit "input method". If you did everything right, your keyboard will be selectable there.

[Q] Service menu under Settings

Is it possible to make a Service menu shortcut in Settings?
Modify settings.apk or something?
I know it's possible to put almost any app in there, so this should be no problem since service menu is .apk like any other.
Any tuts for modifying Settings.apk and adding some apps there?
I believe the Service menu (that you access through the Dial Pad) is not Settings.apk but a different one like Semc[xxx].apk.
What you can do is make a shortcut as if it was a phone number on your home screen if that would work for you.

*#*#4636#*#*
*#*#7378423#*#*
Yeah, I know about the shortcut.
No, service menu is not part of Settings.apk. It's app for itself.
So then, It's possible to add a shortcut to that app (lets say ServiceMenu.apk) under Settings.
Do you get what's my point?
Accessing Service menu from settings, simply by clicking on it.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for....
If you press and hold the screen, there is a shortcut arrow, click that and the next menu look for direct dial. That should take you to your contacts and as long as you have already have the persons picture in your contacts, touch the contact and the shortcut should be created.

Thanks, I wasn't sure which screen you meant. Turns out I have to go to my phone number Favorites. Long click on the person I want. At the bottom of the menu that pops up there is the arrow and, "add shortcut to home" message. If you have a pic with with the favorite number it goes with it. G
