I decided to play around with my W800i and hack it’s features as I want. I used the Far Manager with SEFP (Sony Ericsson Flash Plugin) to access the phone configuration. Here are the stuff I did with my phone. (Use at your own risk)
Remove Camera Sound
I wasn’t able to find the configuration file for the camera sound; so I simply deleted the audio files that’s used by the camera and got it done.
1 2 3 4 5 | /FS/tpa/preset/system/sound/cameraburst.3gp /FS/tpa/preset/system/sound/cameraburst.mid /FS/tpa/preset/system/sound/camerafocus.3gp /FS/tpa/preset/system/sound/camerashutter.3gp /FS/tpa/preset/system/sound/cameratimer.mid |
Remove SMS Limit
Edit the SMS storage configuration file “/ifs/settings/messaging/pref_store.txt” and change “/smsdata” to “/tpa”.
Removing Operator Name
Ooops I didn’t like the big Dilog GSM hiding part of my Wallpaper, I got rid of it by editing the /FS/tpa/system/layout/layout.xml file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | <object name="StatusIndication"> <settings> <sett name="RowHeight" value="0"/> <sett name="TopOffset" value="0"/> <sett name="TitleHeight" value="0"/> <sett name="TitleTopOffset" value="0"/> <sett name="TitleMode" value="4"/> <!-- change "1" to "4" --> <sett name="OverlayStyle" value="2"/> <!-- change "0" to "2" --> <sett name="YPos" value="18"/> <sett name="Height" value="176"/> </settings> </object> |

I moved http://www.sri-lankan.net to DreamHost last month and wanted to download all the files from my old hosting provider. I found the ncftpget command so useful. Here is how…
1 | $ ncftpget -T -R -v -u "ramesh" sri-lankan.net ./sri /www |

I had my time with the interns yesterday when they complained that the changes they made are not getting saved to the HSQL database. I spend an hour trying to find out why, at last I found out that in HSQL you need to send a SHUTDOWN command to save the changes in a clean way…
1 2 3 4 5 | Statement st = conn.createStatement(); // db writes out to files and performs clean shuts down st.execute("SHUTDOWN"); conn.close(); |
