Bricked

Hi all, I need someone to help my bricked phone.

My phone is bricked deadly. No any response even long press on power button. unable to turn on recovery mode.
the only response is the notification LED will turn on whenever usb plug into PC or charging,
I have learnt to flash using Sp flash tool but it gives error when I flash it.
I doubt that error is caused by incomplete phone shutdown. Because as i know flashing using SP flash tool requires complete shutdown on phone.
Is there anyone know how to completely shutdown idol x in this case?
thank you very much.

Use ALCATEL Mobile Upgrade S tool. If your phone is not recognized use power + vol.up combo until it does.

You can try the key combo also when using SP FLASH TOOL.

Good luck!

Modify quick settings

Hi
How to change or add/remove the quick setting items of idol x?
if not, is there any zipped program to change it?
thanks:)
I've been trying to modify quick settings.
I downloaded SystemUI-res.apk and extrated using apktool 2.0
But so far I've only changed number of columns from 3 to 4.
I'm not sure if tile order is defined on this file.
Has anybody customized quick settings on this KK rom?

So I just got this phone yesterday, and I've been playing with it ever since rooting it. I've found out something rather interesting regarding the LCD density and how the system behaves accordingly.

Manually adding an LCD density to the build.prop file will edit the density, overriding some kind of default value (Presumably in the SystemUI.apk file) and let you play around with it. I found, though, that in editing the LCD density to around 350 (I'm not 100% sure of the threshold, nor do I feel like finding it) will override some of the graphics and icons and force the stock Android ones to load instead. However, at the same time, it may break the layout of some apps (The radio one breaks a bit, although it's still somewhat usable.)

Hi Guys

Can anybody upload a modem.img from the stock version 4.2.2 for testing in Kikkat, for those who have a Idol X (6040A) 1900 Mhz 3G band support.

the path for the file is : /System/etc/firmware/

must have rooted device.

thanks and sorry my bad English.
