FieldTest hidden items activation



This file activates hidden menu items in FieldTest menu of SXG75 (checked on SVN22,SVN26), EF81 (checked on SVN58), E81 (checked on FW19).

This patch MAY also work on other BREW platform devices developped by polish division of BenQ-Siemens (SG75, E81C, EF82, SF71).
For SL91 R14 Fieldtest, please check this experimental file.

Download the archive and place its contents to brew\mod\FieldTest\res\common of your fone. If the directory common doesn't exist, create it.

Useful items are:

App Manager - BREW Application Manager (if once you get some licensed BREW app with key for your apparatus).

JAM Test mode\Install and post status - installs JAD and JAR files copied to the root directory of fs:/ in fone :) without reboot.

SXG91 mod menu patch

File number limit change

Tested on SXG75 SVN26

As you should be aware, there is a file limit on SXG75, EF81 and maybe other BREW-based fones, due to some system speed and/or stability reasons, set to 400 files on MMC (and maybe also in internal fs).
There is a solution: copy the attached in archive file to brew\shared of your phone then restart your phone.

The new limit is set to 1024 files (the directories are not counting). To change the file limit at your wish, change the string 1004 in the attached file. You must use BREW Resource Editor which is part of BREW SDK Tools 1.0.1 that you can freely download from Qualcomm's website.

Maybe your MMC card will need reindexing.
To do so, delete the sysfile file from the root of mmc1, using BREW protocol in SXG Controller or remove the card and use any card reader attached to a pc to remove this file from root of your RS-MMC. Then input again your card. Wait some time (up to 30 minutes) till the card is reindexed.

However you should remember that Siemens set the file limit not because of good living. You lift it up at your own risk.

Notes on functionning of this patch on different devices:
thanks to Îëåã_psk

SXG75 SVN26: Lifts off limit of total files on MMC, but you can make photos and store them on MMC only untill the moment you reach 400 files on MMC. After that the counter of fotos will show the number of superfluous files and the appointment wills how that there is not enough space on card. This message will also appear in Dictation Machine, Soundrecorder and while trying to make a video record. You can still record those data in the phone memory.

EF81 SVN58: In this firmware there's no more file indexation nor file limit. However the patch lifts off the limit of number of fotos you can make on MMC, which is exactly 400 files.

USSD+16
by kolanik & mr. Break



As you noticed, the SXG75 firmware has a bug (or mostly, a programmers' and testers' laziness), which prevents a USSD incoming message from displaying completely on screen, as on first picture. This bug was later corrected on EF81 firmware starting with SVN52. But the SXG75 is left without update :(
This patch removes the 'i' graphics of information windows, thus gaining 16 characters to displayed USSD message.
Not only USSD messages are shrinked but all other informational windows will be without the 'i' symbol.

Download file with standart graphics resources (SVN12, SVN22, SVN26)
Download file with SXG91 mod resources (fixed)

You should place the archive contents to brew\mod\CoreDaemonApp\common_res\common of your fone.
DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE!

If you would like to edit the file with your own graphics, just remove string 5107 from your brew\mod\CoreDaemonApp\common_res\common\common_media.bar file.

AppManager repair
by Sergpink (April 2007)

The integrated hidden BREW AppManager in SXG75\EF81 and maybe SG75\SL91\E81\E81C\SF71\M7 has some resources disabled because of the missing file appmgr.bar. Theese resources include system messages in case if something goes wrong with the BREW application, and a missing menu to arrange the available BREW applications. This menu is an icon "Settings" that appears in AppManager and alows to order apps and games, place them in 3 predefined folders (Favourites, Tools, Fun), to choose the view of AppManger (Big Icons, Small Icons or List)

You should place the archive contents to brew\mod\brewappmgr\ of your fone.
