v3.8.0 BUGS

-----------------

- No xLoud option in Sound Settings

- No BRAVIA option in Display Settings

- version number in About Phone still says v3.7.0 (not a bug but just mentioning it was forgotten to be changed)

Those are the first things i noticed right off the bat, will report more soon if necessary.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pyromatic18:
Its not a theme issue, I don't have any themes installed and have this problem
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
Flashing back to v3.6 awaiting new v3.8. :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
any update on if the two were mislabelled?

EDIT: nvm, the stable version is roughly 6mb smaller than the features so it cant be a labelling issue
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lockon Stratos:
:eek: :D :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Gadgetz:
My findings were proved to be false. :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zmbutt:
Ohh I see, then we have to wait for new 3.8a :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saint23liquori:
hi Wolfbreak! nice to know you have just update your ROM to v3.8..

i just install it, here is my report (what i've found)..

i can't report about battery performance yet.. (soon..)

i can confirm that

- yes, the bootloop happen for 1-2 times (you've mention it before)

- yes, it's little bit laggy at first, after that it's run perfect! very smooth!

- no decrease on quadrant score, i dont care about it, because it have perfect performance

here's what i want you to know (i have no idea if it's a bug)

i have black theme from erickwill before, but it's have problem with power button right after flash your update ROM...but it's fixed by flash that black theme.. it always happen since your 3.7 update

i hope it's usefull for your Perfect ROM next update.. :) *cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Arijit.Ray81:
Yes! Noticed it too... Even after the update is completed... the app shows up as "to be updated".
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Gadgetz:
After flashing back to the v3.6 update from 3.8, xLoud and Bravia still were not restored so i'm in the process of a fresh v3.5 install to v3.6.......I've already confirmed that it's back after flashing 3.5....and just finished the 3.6 update and again, i'm back to normal.

Man, that's what I get for trying to be an early adopter:o

Time to restore apps/data/contacts
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] LCS2011:
Wait for the new 3,8 and will restore it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Wolf,

Here's what happened for me.

I booted into xrecov and flashed the 3.8.0 zip. Rebooted phone and immediately was greeted with a Facebook force close. Everything else seemed fine. Facebook kept FC'ing every minute or so.

I went back into xrecov and selected Fix Permissions. Rebooted phone.

Phone was stuck at boot animation. Waited 15 minutes. Pulled battery. Went back into xrecov and reflashed 3.8.0. Now when I boot up, everything force closes. Won't even load launcher. Setup Wizard force closes, android.phone force closes, and a bunch of other ones keep force closing.

As a side note, I don't have any themes or mods. I'm always on stock version of your ROM+hotfixes.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pyromatic18:
Fix permissions again and reboot, you'll be waiting at the boot animation for a long time before it finally works
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zymphonyx:
Force Close for me on first Boot up after flashing 3.8.0 Features, reboot back into xRecovery and Fix Permission. Everything is working fine after that but xLoud and Bravia option is missing :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saint23liquori:
that also happen on me...

i did the second fix permissions, but it still isnt fixed.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Thanks for the suggestion. That didn't work. Booted up and everything is force closing again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
Did you try flashing then wiping cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions then?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] yeeyon1990:
most of my apps face force close. how to resolve? i fix permission of more than 10 times d.. any one can help this?

the xloud and bravia engine missing, i noe from previous posts..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zymphonyx:
Wipe Cache and dalvik, then fix permission. Then try booting up again
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hellsrage619:
Did anyone else loose x loud and bravia engine? I installed the features BTW.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
does anyone else read before they post? dude read like less than 10 posts above you and you will see everyone is experiencing the same problem
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
This helped. Sort of. Thank you.

It took forever to go from boot animation to home screen but I stuck it out.

No force closes but setup wizard came up and all of my settings are gone. Not pleased.

I'm not sure what happened but I understand what I'm getting into flashing custom stuff so I'm not going to go into a fit of rage Lol.

That being said, Wolf you should be aware of what happened with the 3.8.0_features hotfix on 3.6. As I said earlier, I don't use custom themes or battery mods etc.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] yeeyon1990:
i did that.. but i stuck at the wolf animation there.. for 10 minutes++ .. donno how to do onw..:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Mine was stuck there for the same if not more. Just let it sit there.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
this is exactly what i posted a few pages back and also pmd Wolf about it but no reply.

Also i suggested the wipes right after your post, but its all good lol
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Eisel89:
i think Wolf simply forgot to change some lines in build.prop in 3.8 features

thanks for working on the rom, till laaate night!!:confused: ^^

you do a great job wolf!

so for all who wants XLoud & Bravia in 3.8 for the time being you have to change following lines in build.prop

from:

ro.service.swiqi.supported=false
persist.service.swiqi.enable=0

to:

ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1
ro.semc.xloud.supported=true
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zymphonyx:
Mine had the same problem after I fixed permission. Lost all my settings but its better than reinstalling all the apps again :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Gadgetz:
Lesson learned....don't be first to flash a new update, wait to see the general experience of others who have flashed it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aalvico:
After update 3.8 besides xloud bravia that many reported, I wait a long time, rebooted and almost all apps from SD were missing, I tried wipe cache fix permission, and for the first time after xrec say done it showed an error cache/log... and after reboot, all the same problems, I reinstalled update 3.7,and all worked back... Very strange
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zymphonyx:
Thats not a lesson to be learned haha. Always backup before flashing something incase you f**k up :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] scoobysnacks:
I'm taking a break from flashing for a bit, and I'm glad I did...

v3.6 is perfect for me right now, so I'm leaving it alone for a while.

No sense continuing to mess with a good thing for me, unless something mindblowing comes and I can't resist hahah
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Arijit.Ray81:
Fast Updates!

Wolf, bro... you are releasing updates faster than my phone can reboot! Keep it up... Awesome work.. Love it..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pyromatic18:
Yeah that may be true but by now a lot of us are use to trusting whatever Wolf gives us to flash ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
I had to reinstall Titanium as after all of this it wouldn't function properly.

My phone seriously did not like something about this last fix.

Oh well. It seems to be ok now. Now we start the testing process :)

Oh, side note. The ROM claims it's 3.7.0, but I flashed 3.8.0.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chuchito1987:
whats wrong with the new hotfix???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
already reported the software version error to Wolf
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Nothing necessarily. Although some appear to be experiencing some odd issues with it. Myself included.

It's definitely running smoothly now that I've got the kinks worked out. We'll see how it goes now. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aalvico:
I have a question for wolf or anyone.... after an update you lose the theme, but because you had the theme before, the power button doesn't work back ....so, since an update affect the theme couldn't it bring the power button back?

Other question is about widgetsoid (since is one of the options we have)... Is the reboot / power off option safe? (because it goes to the black screen instantly after press), I guess it that can affect the SD card or not ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chuchito1987:
What i can see is that there are two META folders repeated that could be the problem
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
in the zip or after flash?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Aha. I just had the time to look and after flashing 3.8.0_features and having gone through having to clear Davlik and Cache, Bravia and XLoud are both not there. I'll just wait for a hotfix to resolve it. It's not like either is horribly important to me. Thanks for pointing it out though!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chuchito1987:
maybe u can help me i allready researched all this thread and all posta i havean issue that my phone shut downs by itself between 10-15% and not reaching 1% why is happening that i did a batt calibration with the app from market i allready wipe bat stats.....with draining i am great i am getting almost 23 hours until it poweroff, please help me didnt find any solution in the thread
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chuchito1987:
In the zip, so i didnt flash it cause it was rear
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
not sure as a number of factors can affect that included certain apps, auto-sync, or even a battery thats on its last stretch
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
my zip only shows one META-INF folder :S

i flashed the features version
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
I meant to respond to yourself and others with this issue sooner.

The battery app doesn't necessarily work all the time. Here's how I personally resolved this issue...

My phone turned off at around 15%. I turned it on and a few seconds later it turned off again. I repeated this process until my batter showed 3% or less. Each time you restart the phone after it turns off the battery status slowly corrects itself.

Once it hit around 3%, I turned it on again and it showed 1%. When it turned itself off the last time, I plugged it in for a charge. Turned the phone on and let it charge to 100%.

Haven't had an issue at all since then. The battery displays properly.

Hope this helps someone :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xcxa23:
hey mate have u try this method? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943626

i had done this method each time after flashing a new rom.

btw, after u had done it at least 5times, u need to let the battery charge for another 20 to 25 min when the battery percentage reach 100%

i can get at least 5h in standby with this method
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chuchito1987:
i dont have autosync enabled on settings only twitter every 10 min friendcaster every hour and weatherbugelite every hour, about batt i dont think so cause it doesnt warm up and drains very slow lasting almost one day
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
try nekkidtruths method, ive heard of that before and it has helped many people.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chuchito1987:
yes i allready did it but my phone doesnt boot so i did it while the phone is charging without booting for 6 times i have better battery now but i dont know why this is happening i got it too with wolfs froyo tw9 and started again with hotfix5
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chuchito1987:

NO Bravia & Xloud in 3.8 Featured

Confirmed! I flashed with 3.8 Featured Update and the Bravia Engine & X-Loud option went missing.

Am I missing something? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] shinnsan:
Confirmed. We're gonna have to wait for Wolf.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dicko21:
Flashed with 3.8 features and now I get Sony Ericsson Facebook Sync FC'ing every 5 seconds as well as the Settings causing an FC....

Well, damn.

EDIT: Scratch that, restarted and lost ALL contacts, as well as the phone thinking it was just factory reset (Going through the initial setup again)...The hell?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
seems like Wolf has gone to sleep for the night after posting v3.8.0.

i suggest for most non-powerusers to stay away from this update until later on in the day when Wolf is back and reports something
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mohanparvatham:
After updating to 3.8 there is no Xloud and Bravia Engine...

the Built number is showing as 3.7.0 ....

Is it same for every one...???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
if you can read then yes...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chuchito1987:
Downloading again and reporting back
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Arijit.Ray81:
O boy! :p

Wolf: While you are at it, could you include a Free Backup & Restore App in your ROMs. The point is, when we are flashing a new ROM, we can simply use that utility to backup Contacts, SMS, Settings, etc. & once on the new ROM, restore it.

Just a suggestions... your call.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chuchito1987:
download it again and still the two metainf folders maybe cause im downloading.from the phone anyway would stay on 3.7 until wolf speaks thx 4 ur help buddy
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Deucehigh:
I just re flashed 3.7 over 3.8 and it seems to be normal again... not sure if youre supposed to but whatever.....it works fine, xloud and bravia and running smoothly again
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
OR....

You could just download one yourself ;) I don't think it's necessary to add an app like that to the ROM. Especially since people use all sorts of different ones. That's why it's silly when people ask for certain apps to be added.

Use whichever apps you want with this ROM, but it's not necessary to have them added to the ROM itself. For instance, I use Titanium whereas others don't.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
hey could you upload v3.7.0 for me, i had deleted it when i downloaded the new 3.8 :(

K its working now
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Jarcol:
For the people who have 3.8.0 installed and want it showed About Phone, you can edit the file /system/build.prop.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Pawnty:
Either way it doesn't really matter :P I've recently discovered how to actually USE titanium backup effectively so now flashing full roms isn't as great of a hassle as it use to be :D Just back up all apps, appdata and systemdata and restore it upon flash and everything is already to go.

wrote a few pages back, how to enable bravia engine and xLoud option in v3.8

no wonder this Thread is overflowing with same questions :/

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] timchew:
For me, I just use advance restore to restore data. That's faster and you don't have to keep clicking install, done when using titanium. (of course, you have to backup before installing new rom :) )
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
Hey guys im in the process of uploading a modified build.prop to enable xLoud and Bravia engine in v3.8.0 (i also changed the version to display v3.8.0).

just testing it right now
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alchemis:
Good stuff
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
I assume you mean 3.7 and 3.8 as 2.7 and 2.8 don't exist for this ROM. ;)

As for the rest of your post, it's been repeated several times over the last few pages. Please read before posting.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR xLOUD and BRAVIA ENGINE!

Hey guys here is the modified build.prop to enable xLoud and Bravia engine in v3.8.0. It has also been modified to show v3.8.0 in the about screen.

Use root explorer (or any other root file explorer) and overwrite the existing file in /system/

then change permissions to:

Owner = R/W/X

Group = R/-/X

Others = R/-/X

Then reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, and fix permissions (remember after clearing caches the first boot may take a while so be patient and let the phone sit and settle even after it has booted).

REMEMBER THIS IS ONLY A TEMP FIX UNTIL WOLF PROVIDES US WITH SOMETHING NEW! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING GOING WRONG! DO A BACKUP FIRST BUT THIS IS FOOLPROOF IF YOU DO WHAT I SAY!

http://www.mediafire.com/?q52yi1puvl3y72c

NOTE! -- I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SETTINGS RESET PROBLEM FROM V3.8.0 IS DUE TO FIXING PERMISIONS IN RECOVERY!! THIS IS THE CULPRIT!! HOWEVER IT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME IN 1 OUT OF 3 TESTS AND HAS BEEN FINE SINCE. YOU MAY SKIP THAT STEP BUT IF NECESSARY DO IT ANYWAYS!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Deucehigh:
Thanks for that BP nice!

however if you are really lazy like me here is the 3.7 update, just flash it over 3.8...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NightWildChild:
It seems that luminance sensor doesn't work properly. If I'm indoor the brightness level is middle, after flashing on the sensor the display brightness is increasing but after removing flash from the sensor brightness still max and doesn't decreasing :(

How I can fix it?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
Also im not sure if its just me but it looks like with the new update Wolf released, each time you wipe cache and/or dalvik, it resets SOME of your settings (since dalvik has been move to cache maybe?). I will change my theme (with built-in SE theme manager since thats what i noticed got reset), and then wipe cache and see if it resets again and will try the same with dalvik to narrow it down.

------------------------------------

UPDATE 1: I can say that wiping cache only in recovery DOES NOT reset any settings.

I am now testing wiping dalvik cache.

I wont be surprised if this is the culprit and it must have something to do with it being moved to cache (i recall back on, i believe it was an early build of either Z or J when they had FIRST moved dalvik to sd card, they told us NOT TO WIPE DALVIK cuz it would **** everything up. They eventually reverted back to regular dalvik).

This might be a similar case

UPDATE 2: hmm, quite strange, seems as if wiping cache and dalvik during separate reboots DOES NOT reset any settings.

will test doing them both at the same time to see if it happens.

UPDATE 3: hmm, i wiped BOTH dalvik and cache at the same time and this time settings still DID NOT get reset..

last thing i can think of that i did the other two times when the settings got reset was a fix permissions...

FINAL UPDATE! -- I CAN CONFIRM THAT FIXING PERMISIONS IN RECOVERY DOES IN FACT RESET SOME SETTINGS! THIS IS THE CULPRIT!! HOWEVER IT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME ONCE OUT OF 3 TESTS AND HAS BEEN FINE SINCE
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zymphonyx:
Fixing Permissions when I get FC on first boot on 3.8.0 patch resets all my settings. I did not clear cache or dalvik at all :confused: hope this helps :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aqzgr8estballer1:
if anyone flashed 3.7 directly on top of 3.6 and now their data doesnt work I have a fix.

Bring back devtools from Wolfs froyo rom using titanium backup or something and then crash system server.

The phone will freeze. Wait a few minutes after it freezes and then pull out the battery and you should be good to go.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
Hmm seems like for some reason there are 14 apps that have been "removed" from my phone after applying v3.8.0 and when attempting a batch restore from titanium it tells me it has completed but the apps are still not restored (it still shows me 14 uninstalled apps in titanium)
