[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
A little update.

I have been using my faulty Xoom for over two weeks now. I didn't turn it off so it worked until today. Today i tried to install a app from Market and My apps crashed, so i tried to stop it and this caused Launcer to FC (Does Launcer FC cause a automatic reboot?). The screen went black and in about 20 seconds it did show me the lock screen and i had no touch screen control. So i force rebooted it and now it doesn't even start up anymore, it's stuck on boot animation.

So it's starting to get really frustrating... I'm even considering to buy another Xoom, but this really isn't a solution, i have no use for two (if i ever get a replacement).

Has anyone any ideas? Why is it now stuck on boot animation, doesn't this look like a software problem? Is there any way to push clean images to it without unlocking? I understand that unlocking will void my warranty?

Is it possible to flash the official stock images without unlocking?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
Ok, i got it to boot up again. I did Wipe data/factory reset and now it boots up again, but still no touch control.

And it seems that i have confirmed that doing too many force reboots will mess up the system.

BTW, there is a way to get into Android recovery on WIFI only Xoom, i wish i had known this before, "adb reboot recovery" works.

Can someone please answer my question, is it possible to flash the official stock images without unlocking? Maybe that will fix my touch screen control problem...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiesman2613:
I've having this same issue but mine is worse.. the touchscreen is not working AT ALL.. only the power button works..

I can restart the xoom with the volume up power button but after it restarts still no response from the touchscreen!

What can I do to fix this?

Any help would be appreciated..

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rariss:
Hey guys,

Tried searching for this several times with no luck and this (bug?) annoys the crap out of me.

Has anyone noticed that the hardware keyboard shortcuts no longer work with CM7?

That is to say:

[menu + a] = select all

[menu + c] = copy

[menu + v] = paste

Anybody know of a solution or workaround?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NAM_killer:
Are these shortcuts also set in the cyanogenmod settings? It may be a bug of the version you are on, try rolling back one or two versions.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rariss:
I've been on several of the CM7 nightlys (currently on RC4) and none of them have these shortcuts configured. They were working out of the box on stock rom, CM6 and MIUI.

As far as i Know these are standard shortcuts that have always "just worked" without having to set them up anywhere.

As detailed in this thread under the section "Keyboard Tips":

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rariss:
Nobody?

Is my question posted in the wrong section or am I the only one facing this issue?

In any text box while using the hardware keyboard:

Is anyone able to select all text using the shortcut "menu + a"

or copy text using "menu + c"
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LagunaCid:
Yep

Except that in some cases the menu stills pops up when doing that, which kills the selection
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmcsc:
+1

I thought I was crazy. Maybe there's two of us crazies, then. With CM7, I just can't Select All with the hardware keyboard. My conclusion is that since Gingerbread hasn't hit any keyboard-toting phones, there may be something missing from the code.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaldood:
Me (LG GW620 owner) and my friend (HTC G2 owner) faced this problem, so we googled it and stumbled upon this thread.

We both have the same problem regarding the select all thing. Not touching the text box with the touch screen and using Menu+A does nothing. Touching the text box and then using Menu+A selects and deselects.

I guess we can confirm that this is not a G2-specific problem, since it also happens on a LG GW620 using the Open Eve ROM (CM7-based), and a G2 using CM7.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd4d3v:
Hi guys.

:mad: EDIT for the people who dont read

I know there are custom roms for the X10!

My question is whether there are FULL custom roms that replace the stock completely (like HTC phones for example)

back to original post:

I've been out of the X10 world for a while but looking to get a second phone and the price/hardware of the X10 makes it interesting (although I hated it when I had my first one due to the software restrictions)

I had a bit of a read, and it would seem the bootloader has been cracked.

Can we already get full custom roms to the X10, or are we still using xexec tricks to boot a different kernel?

I'm sure the answer must be somewhere in here but I could not find it clearly.

thanks

Lol wow u gotta be joking.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Achotjan:
there is 4 or 5 custom rom on x10 you can tray the one of my signiature but this is not Q&A section your in bad thread its dev thread

--- pleas mods move this tread ---
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterviolinguy:
Yeah. Did you really ask this question?

There are two kinds of custom ROMs for the Xperia x10

1. Using default 2.6.29 kernel by SE, but built with different system files. An example of this would be WolfBreak's CM, and Trip's MIUI

2. Using a customized 2.6.29 kernel, loaded via the kexec exploit. An example of this would be Jerplea's CM7 ROM, RC4 V014 k001 preview.

Next time, at least read the THREAD TITLES BEFORE POSTING
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david_kurtovic:
What are you talking about? Oo

"Still using kexec..."??

It is the only way to boot custom Kernels ... and it's not less worth than the other ways to boot Kernels ... and the ROMs we have here are very good. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbrowndude:
No
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd4d3v:
You know, I thought this thread would end up like this.

there are always people who believe everyone should know everything and live and breathe on the xda forum.

I know there are custom roms, but that was not the question, just the title of the thread.

I will edit my first post to avoid confusion.

now for the ones who wish to help.

My impression was the current ROMs were actually piggybacking from the stock SE.

thus the performance was not as good as a, let's say, HTC with same specs.

my question is whether we can flash a rom on the phone, the same as with HTC phones, and completely replace/erase, and not have anything to do with stock anymore since I really dispised the Sony software.

Regards
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realunited123:
Its not possible to flash directly to the phone yet and maybe never. For this you need to crack the bootloader.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimakos29:
In short... there are many really nice roms, all of them still on SE kernels except the one from J. My favourite is trips MIUI and it works like a charm. I don't give a **** about whether it runs on stock or modified or a completely rewritten kernel as long as all the things i care for work. And i think in the end that's what counts. To have a fully functional phone that you enjoy using. Sure 30fps limit removal is nice but hey how many can really tell the difference in everyday use? More likely to prove to themselves they had been right when they payed for x10, and yes it can do this and that other thing....

Base is if you like it as a phone buy it if not then go buy something else and not this one, trying to prove that it's something else than it really is...

personally i love it since day one 11 months ago. loved it on 1.6, 2.1 and now on 2.2:)

And yes: wrong thread m8. u should post in Q&A
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogwoofer:
pretty sure all the custom roms aren't piggybacking the stock s.e and they are flashed to the nand thus replacing it - the only thing that couldnt be changed was the kernel, which can be now
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJE:
you can tell it's been a bad day for people on xda forums when they belittle you while not even answering the question you ask....

It is getting close to removing the restrictions SE have applied to their Kernal...

The work the devs are doing here and speed they are doing it will get some nice custom kernals and roms before 2.3 is released by SE...

Hopefully alot sooner...

Good luck in your decision.

~Mod move to Q&A please... Might be more helpful for others aswell as OP!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd4d3v:
do you really need to make that comment?

if you're not going to contribute, please refrain from posting.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd4d3v:
thanks for the answer.

that was my understanding as well.

I sold my X10 a few months back when they still had the first custom roms, back then i was following all the thread, and knew of the progress.

It would seem things have got better since then but still quite not there yet.

PS: I like your signature ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] festa20:
Yes there's are a few

And right now there is:

- A modded kernel for TripNMiUI (Complete 2.2 Miui) with no frame cap

- A complete vanilla FroYo

- A few complete CM6.1.3 ROMS

- A few WIP ROMS that will get completed from Trip (I hope! (; )

- CM7 isn't far from completion

- And kernel work is making progress

So overall its a good times to join the X10 community with all the progress recently x)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrHassell:
Trip released a Cyanogen 6, which was modified by Wolfbreak.. aside from all mounts being rw and confusion that since followed, it's a complete Froyo. There's many other great choices so in future, search and post questions into q&a

Edit: Trips froyo was based on Zdzihu. The next big issue is the CM7 Gingerbread.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd4d3v:
so you can flash these over the stock rom?

still confused, some people say they are some there's none yet

PS: to all, yes, i know it should go in Q&A, can't move it myself, no need to point it out every post.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] festa20:
Yes just root the phone then download flashtool for PC (which you can find in this forum) install xRecovery using flashtool then install the roms through xRecovery

There is tons of info and threads about xRecovery so you search for it mate
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eramsey:
I am attempting to install CM7 on my Nexus S.

I have followed the instructions on the Cyan Wiki and ALLGAMER's guide on XDA. Everything has worked so far, i was able to unlock the boot loader with no problem and i get a result when i use the fastboot devices command, so fastboot is working and the phone is being recognized.

However when i try to flash the CW recovery image i get the same result every time

error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

or

error: cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img'

I have tried it both ways. I am making sure to put the recovery file in the tools folder in the SDK folder. the same folder that has fastboot.

I have tried rebooting the phone and computer and disconnecting/reconnecting. I have tried downloading different versions of the recovery image from different hosts. I have also tried uninstalling the device drivers and reinstalling them (it shows up correctly in device manager as "Android Bootloader Interface".

what am i missing?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
Where did you type the command? You should cd into the "tools" folder -- where the actual .img file is located -- before issuing the command.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
A new day and a new headache made by me

Today's question is : is it possible to make a full fw from upgrade fw???

two days ago i ripped a non-full firmware from kies now i want to make it full

but i wanted to get confirmation from XDA-developers that this is possible

can i just add the missing files from prior fw to the new one and it will be a full one??

i am talking about a full 1.02 to complete a non-full 1.2

thanks in advance

ps: i don't have thanks today so no one get angry from me
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
i am no talking about boot files only

i am talking about the whole fw

for ex shppapp file from non-full doesn't have alot of files should i add them simply??
[Bada Software and Hacking General] astrotom:
Bootfiles can be added to non-full firmwares to make it a full firmware. I have tried that myself. But adding ShpApp to the non-full firmwares won't work. You will end up with the facebook, twitter, samsungapps, daily briefing and other default apps not working. If you really want the older ShpApp files, you may want to modify the non-full firmware's registry to include the apps present in the ShpApp file you want.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Xenоn:
You may dump all files from full and updated shppapp with powerfull TriX tool, replace are old files to new and combine new full shppapp with files from update.

Thanks to b.kubica and adfree. Link
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
i know trix and i use it

i was talking about doing what you Xenon but not sure if it will work

waiting for adfree or someone who tried this to confirm it
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
You just had to take full ShpApp.app from a full version.

Idem for boot files.

No need PFS file.

The files needed are: BOOTFILES, amss.bin, apps_compressed.bin, CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXA_XXJL2.csc, FactoryFs_S8500_Open_Europe_Common.ffs, Rsrc_S8500_Open_Europe_Common.rc1, Rsrc2_S8500_Open_Euro_Common(Low).rc2, ShpAppHD.app (this one need to be replaced by ShpApp.app)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
ok so i'll tell you what i understood

Boot files (from old fw)

amss.bin (new fw)

apps_compressed.bin (new fw)

Factoryfs.ffs (old fw as it is not present in new one)

ShpApp.app (old fw)

RSRC1.rc1 (new fw)

RSRC2.rc2 (new fw)

CSC.csc (new fw)

PFS.pfs (don't know and think it is not necessary at all but present in new fw)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
Yes you are right.

But generaly FFS is present in update firmware.

Wich firmware are you talking about?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
ok

if you noticed i am from Egypt so it is a middle east fw update from 1.02 to 1.2

its code name S8500JPKC1

the ffs is from the full fw
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
i tried what you said lasentenza and ended up with non-working facebook,twitter,youtube(makes the phone restart),samsung apps,sms app(makes the phone restart also)

i think the problem is not that simple
[Bada Software and Hacking General] carbonbadu:
guys is ther any 1.2 region free firmware out ? if yes then please give me the link to download it

thanx in advance
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
what do you mean with "region free"???
[Bada Software and Hacking General] carbonbadu:
i live in india and the 1.2 firmware is not avail here
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
what is the code of your firmware???

is your firmware belongs to Africa and middle east??
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Depend on your goal... as repair solution?

Factoryfs.ffs is mandatory if you erase with Multiloader the FFS... as it contain important Security folder with all Certs...

Sometimes Operator related Certs included... Yes, you could try other FFS from your Product Code. No guarantee that it work 100 % without sideeffects. As sometimes minor changes... Same for ShpApp.app. Older stuff can work, but have to be tested...

Maybe post please exact filenames. Sometimes same files are used in other Firmware Brandings...

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] astrotom:
What you need is a Indian CSC file. Just replace the CSC file in the firmware with the one I in an Indian 1.0.2 or 1.0 firmwares available at samfirmware.com. Like DDJI2 or DDJK1. Then in keypad type "*#5239870*#". Then choose pre-configuration. Then in the code box enter the following code: *#27236*# and then press done. Then choose INU which is for Indian region. NOTE: Remove sim card and memory card and backup all data before doing this. This procedure will reset whole phone.

Now you will get all default Indian sim card settings and other Indian settings.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
It won't work it the update firmware does not contains FFS file.

You can't take one from other firmware I think :(

Is there a way to set-up an animation for when the G2 is off and charging? or is that not supported?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
WTF? If it's *off*, how do you think you'll be able to see the animations? The device needs to be powered on for the display to work, the processor to run the animation, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanCubano:
You can't. The image to that animation is stored in the factory recovery and since we flashed CWM over it that animation is no longer there.

Everytime we plug our phone's in to charge while it is OFF, the phone will call for the image and take us straight to CWM.

Alternatively, you can head into the dev forum and flash the CWM that was released by the dev (or people?) from the mex rom which allows you to charge the phone off without turning CWM on, but, as far as a custom image for charging while off, its not possible/done yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
If you flash the latest recovery via ROM manager issue with the phone booting in CWM when off has been fixed

with the Samsung and "Droids" they have a charging animation when off.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilnotdie:
It is possible and will eventually be added into cwm. Its just not top priority right now.

I bet someone from the dev community will work it out before koush does.

I would like this with an option to turn it off, perhaps by pressing the menu button...like making the txt dissapear while in recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thachosenone:
so i've tried all of em.....(i think)

started on a ULF kernel: deadhorse 221...but had some stability issue

moved to overstock (all 3 versions), but kept getting that weird shaky screen thing towards the top of the display on boot

then tigers blood 3.22. but still kept getting that same shaky screen thing, but better battery life, kinda, than overstock

now i'm on categorically worthless....seems more stable, and i don't get the same problem as on overstock and tigers blood. i was willing to take the hit on RAM so i don't get that shaky thing.

i like having the option of bln, but i think im gonna stop using it.

on all these i'm getting like 10-13 hours depending on use. bout 6-8 f im using it consistently.

does modem really make a huge difference? cause my work has terrible reception.

what kernel do you guys suggest?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuaveCanadian:
That sounds like a good battery life to me. What are you hoping to get?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpaul007:
Were you using the uncapped versions of the kernels? I know some people have display issues with them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thachosenone:
It actually looks like bln was the main culprit if battery drain. It's been 4+ hours since unplugged, and I'm at 74% with terrible cell service.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce lee roy:
It really depends...

I think battery life is really dependent on a number of variable. Any or all of the following: modem, oc, uv, apps, rom, setcpu setting, update settings... for example I can get 20+ hours if i combine deadhorse + gc1 + ka6 modem, I can get similar with bionix + overstock + ka6. I can even pull 15 out of the hat with oc 1.2 sometimes depending on how I set setcpu. you just have to try diff things out to see what works best. Now I'm on gc3 + dh oc 1.2 + ka6 and getting about 12+ with heavy use. I noticed that apps like yahoo mail really merk my batt.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thachosenone:
I unplugged at 9am with bln off all day. It is now 6 and I'm at 44%.

With bln on, I'd be lucky to have over 30% at this time.

so i think i'm gonna stay on the categorically worthless kernel, cause i'm not interested in OC'ing and i dont like the shaky screen on boot with both tigers blood and overstock, even though i liked the extra usable ram.

i know that there is no more support for CWK, but i really dig the simple b&w google splash screen on boot. until GB is officially released, i think i'll be on bionix v 1.3.1 + CWK.

Thanks for all the input guys!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thachosenone:
What I really wanna have is battery life that is awake as long as I am. So like 16-20 hours. But I guess 13 isn't bad. At least it lasts through work.

I also switched from launcher pro to go launcher ex recently, and bionix on cwk with go launcher ex is ridiculously fast!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedTiki:
The kernal doesn't really seem to do much to my battery life! I get about 10 to 12 hrs on moderate use & only about 5 or 6 on heavy use. The one thing that changes these times the most is if I switch off my data network when I'm not using it! With that strategy I get a full day or more on moderate use & about 10 to 14 on heavy use. I had the battery drop only 1% over 6 hours even I wasn't using it much. Charging the phone goes a lot quicker too with data turned off!

Running Bionix 1.3.1 on overstock
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a400meter:
Not sure if it applies to all kernels but I remember reading in the categorically worthless thread that the phone has to be set at max >= 800 mhz to properly sleep. If using setcpu screen off profiles. Not sure if your setup, so just an fyi. Might be a reason for lower battery life.

also, if you don't need 3g at work, setting to edge might decrease the bad reception batt drain.

Just my .02 cents...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirmensky:
