Hey there,
I was trying to get rid of the "unknown sim card" notification on my Kyocera Brigadier. I got it running on AT&T, and it works great, I just constantly have that notification saying it's an unknown sim card, which is kind of annoying. I found with other phones there is a default.xml file located in the system/customize/acc folder, that can be edited to get rid of this error. The problem is, on the Brigadier I don't have a customize folder in the system folder. And the explorer (droid explorer) i'm using doesn't have a search function.
Another question is, if the phone doesn't have this file at all, if I created a customize/acc folder and placed a default.xml file in there, configured so that the sim card wouldn't be unknown, would the phone read and recognize this?
Edit: I downloaded ES Explorer and searched for default.xml, nothing turned up. So I guess the question now is, is there another file that does the same thing as default.xml, or if not, could I create me own default.xml file and have it read by the system?
Thanks in advance!
With some phones, this is caused by the Setup Wizard. I would disable it (don't uninstall) and see if that helps.

I tried this and it did not work. Even if it did, wouldn't it need to be done every time the phone restarted? I'm trying to make it permanent.
No, it would not need to be redone upon reboot. You can long press on the notification and hit the Info icon to show you which app is giving you the notification.

When you pull down the notification bar, there is no notification in the menu. However, there is a little sim card icon at the the top next to the bars. And I would get pop ups every now and then that would say "Sim card from an unknown source" and you'd have to hit Ok to close out of it, though I think those stopped with stopping the Setup Wizard.
It's not that big of a deal, but I like tinkering with phones so was just trying to see if there was a way to edit the phone to recognize the sim card, like there is with some HTC phones and the default.xml file.

I'm a newbie and need help. I have a rooted atrix running Gingerblur 3.5. I have used an app to create a custom ogg file to use as a notification. I then copied the file to system/media/audio/notifications. After rebooting the phone the file shows up in the list of notification choices and lets me select it. However the file is not being used by the system. The file directly beneath it is used even though the custom one is selected. What have I done wrong or failed to do?
Thanks.
handcentSMS has a ringtone picker that works great with other apps.
Edit:
After looking in root explorer.. Put your ogg in
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Not
/system/...

Thanks, but that was not the problem. Like I stated I am new at this, but I did figure out the problem. The permissions on the file were set to not allow the owner to do anything. After changing the owner permissions it is working now. I had to do this in the /system/media/audio/notifications because the sd card location did not allow permission changes.
Thanks again for your interest & reply though.

Hello All users,
I use Go Locker for my razr.
A few hours ago, i add Go Locker in "Auto-Kill List" of Task Manager.
Now, i cannot go to home screen. Whenever I press "Home", what i see is "Black screen". I can see Notification Bar only.
I can receive calls and SMS.
Please help me how to solve it.
Thanks
So you cant get into anything on your phone? Are you rooted? If rooted maybe use root explorer or something like that and go into the file go locker is and delete it. See if the factory lock is named .bak and change it. Do a factory reset which sucks.
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...do-i-reset-my-droid-razr-to-default-settings?
Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons on the right side of the device for about 10 seconds. The device will then restart as normal.
Only thing I can come up with.

Thanks for your reply.
I cannot go to rootexplorer. nothing i can do. I am trying to solve without "FULL wipe"
maybe a dev could help with the actual commands but I think the solution would be to push the go locker apk back to your phone using your PC over USB using adb?
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
If I understand everything correctly, he should be able to pull the. Bak from his phone using the adb line, rename the extension, and just push it back on right? I have a page of commands saved, when I get home in a few minutes I can link them
EDIT: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
Those are the commands I was talking about, mainly the pull/push ones. I have no idea where the files would be located on your device though, unfortunately =/
A quick question. How does one disable the CD ROM pop-up that appears when connecting the phone? I tried using the same code as on the original Incredible (##7764726), and while it does take me to the same feature editor and I can select CD ROM option and do "disable", it reverts to "enabled" immediately.
Thanks in advance!
PS If anyone knows how to move apps onto an external SD Card?

I do have that. Would you happen to have instructions how to get rid of it?

Don't have the phone in front of me right now, but i believe you navigate to \system\etc and cdrom.iso is in there, just delete it, or rename it (your choice).
If you don't have an app like rootexplorer you can also do it in TWRP's file manager. Just make sure you mount "system" first or you wont see the folder.

This worked for me:
Dial ##PROGRAM#
Press Call
Enter six zeros for the password
Go to Feature Settings
Disable CD ROM
Back out

hmmm ##PROGRAM# does nothing for me.
The ##PROGRAM## worked for me and gave me the menu, but no matter how many times i set the cdrom to disabled it never changes, just remains enabled.

I'm with void4ever. Dialing the ## code was the first thing I did, just like on old Inc. I see the menu, but the change to CD ROM setting does not stick. It reverts to Enabled as soon as I hit OK on the selector...
you go to system/etc/ and remove (or re-name to .bak) CDROM.ISO

Thanks! That worked. Not quite the way I like to make config changes, but as long as it works.
HELP!!
When i was running the RGUI ROM (JB) there was a fix zip to use in CWM to fix the 'Media' drain in the battery.
This worked wonders! So i just tried to flash it to my device again, except now i'm running the 'Anonorom' ROM.
It worked. Or flashed without error anyway.
The problem now is that since the reboot, the 'Fonts' have failed to be picked by my apps.
This is most noticibly with UCCW. The widget i created for the homescreen uses about 5 different fonts and its defaulted to 1 default font.
When i open the widget to change the fonts back, it tells me theres only 1 font available; "Default" and that if i want to add more then to put them in 'sd:\fonts'.
I've gone back to my file manager and checked this location and there are LOADS of fonts in there still, so its not as if they've been deleted.
Clearly this is the work of the fix_mediaDrain.zip, which i now obviously regret flashing. And WHO KNOWS what other errors i will now encounter!
So my question is, other than reflashing the ROM (which would be a pain because i've also flashed the JKay framework and other things like that, and amanaged to get the phone to my liking) does ANYONE know of a kind of UNDO fix for this fix_mediaDrain.zip that i can flash.
Obviously i dont even know if it exists,im just praying, but if anyone has any ideas i would greatly appriociate it.
I'm guessing the media scanner has been stopped, or a .nomedia file has been placed in the fonts folder.
So first check if there is a file called .nomedia in this folder and if so, delete it and reboot.
If not, then get rescan media root from play and try to enable media scanner and reboot.
Report back please

Firstly, thanks for your reply..
I've checked the location for a '.nomedia' file and no it does not exist.
I even checked 'Root Explorer' incase the file was hiddenin my regular file manager. Still nothing.
I downloaded the 'Rescan Media Root' app, which looked successful, but didnt fix my issue.
I tried a different app called 'media Rescan Lite', but that too did not fix the issue.
It's not looking good for me is it?
well the obvious path note really is to post in the Rom thread/contact dev and find out what the file does and how it can be reverted, let me know if you don't have enough posts and I will post link to your dilemma for you

I have contacted the developer of this fix to ask what it does exactly and if theres any way to undo the fix.
I have also added a post to the thread where this fix was first suggested to me in the past, incase anyone there might be able to shed some light on it..
I will post my findings once i ear back from anyone incase anyone else ever has this problem...
Thanks again.
SOLVED!!
I have managed to fix this problem!
This is going to sound RIDICULOUS but.....
I renamed the 'Fonts' folder on my sdcard slightly.
I say 'renamed', but all i did was make the filename all lowercase, creating "fonts" instead of "Fonts".
Then, IMMEDIATLY, the fonts on my widget wer back to normal..!
How very odd that this was changed by the 'fix_mediaDrain.zip' throgh CWM + reboot.

well solved :thumbup:
so to fix the kitkat issue with being unable to write to external sd card, i followed the tutorials that said to edit
/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
and add media_rw grouip to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
I used miexporer to browse to and edit the file
the first time i did it, it messed up bcause i copied pasted from a site that had double quotes where as all the other group definitions did not have double quotes.
upon rebooting, the phone would get stuck and crash. screen would go blank and all buttons would be come unresponsive.
i was finally able to get into the phone by unlocking the phone as soon as it came up.
unfortunately i get a bunch of messages saying "Unfortunatel gapps stopped" or "unfortunately <misc app name here> stopped". most of them were google apps.
to top it off, i later discover that the quotes got pasted as like "smart quotes" argh.
anyways, i was able to finally get miexplorer to edit the file and remove the offending entry and resave the file. my expectation was that the phone should have been back to it's original condition before i messed up, but all the apps are still crashing.
anybody have any ideas what is going on or what i can try?
Some of the guides i'd seen said that platform.xml should have permissions 644. I verified this but that hasn't seemed to do anything.
