[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] allyouracid:
Just for my comprehension, as i am quite new to Android/Androiddevelopment: Is the stock kernel the one you have installed by default, when you buy a device? What's the benefits/what does one need a stock kernel? Is it because some roms state that an installation only works with the preinstalled kernel?

Thanks in advance,

aya.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danlivesey:
Well I take it your already on a stock kernal, stock kernal is the one that came with your phone. What your reading is custom kernel, you need to unlock your bootloader first before you cam install a custom kernel. As your new to this I wouldn't use a custom kernel yet. Have you rooted your phone? Have installed any custom roms? You can still install a custom rom with a stock kernel, all the info is on the dev forum.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] allyouracid:
Ew. So this bootloader-thingy was the one where it's highly important to read and follow the instructions plus knowing what i'm doint for not bricking my device, right?

Yes, currently i'm on a MiniCM7 Pro V16. Currently i'm reading around, searching for the reason why i can't install a version 17-19, as it says "Can't open archive. Installation aborted (bad)", when i boot into recovery and try to install a .zip with version 17+.

Version 16 works fine. I also checked on my pc if the archive is maybe corrupt, but i can extract it without errors. Also redownloading didn't help.

Some guy wrote that this error can be because i still have a stock kernel. Another one wrote that it's probably because of the Clockwork Mod Recovery V3.x, as the higher MiniCM7 Pro versions require v4.x.

But the installation instruction says one should clear the caches and install the ROM to get the recovery 4.x installed. But i can't even start the installation, as it says "Installation aborted (bad)" when i try to run it.

So my guess was that this is maybe due to the fact that i'm still using a custom kernel, but i'm not sure. And i don't want to break my device :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] daystocome:
I guess you can try to install CMW recovery again since I've been always on stock kernel and updated every version of MiniCM7 easily, even the new versions with the new recovery. the roms don't necessarily need a custom kernel, there are versions for the stock one.

in the thread for MiniCM7 you find the instructions to upgrade the CMW, if you need, it's easy but read everything carefully.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danlivesey:
Right so you have the basics of modding so may be its time to unlock your bootloader?

I've bricked my phone so many diffrent ways but I can always unbrick my phone through seus and pc companion.

Now I havnt tried installing v19 with out a custom kernel so not to sure if that's your problem but paul did say that it might be due to not using a custom kernel.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Alexander Luna:
I have a bootloader unlocker and a custom kernel, but i need to back to the stock kernel and stock rom... But i solve the problem now! Thanks for your answers...

i currently use my phone as a hotspot to play xbox live, i may be getting a ps3, will it work as well? i am using the MIUI stock wireless tether currently. i use it for my laptop, asus transformer, wifes hp touchpad and the 360 already so i assume that the ps3 will not be a problem but just curious.

dont worry, no more than 1 device at a time on my phones tether..
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
As long as you set up the hotspot, your game consoles will connect (NDS, PS3, Xbox360, Computers, and PSP's), even other cellphones. It turns it into a wireless router for anything to connect too.

I WILL SAY THIS THO!!!! 3g connection SUCKS with hotspot if your gonna do online play. I played CoD with hotspot before i couldnt kill nothin due to lag. If you got 4g hotspot your golden.

Is the stock email app supposed to work like this? I have not found any option to change this behaviour.

I would like to delete email on the app and dont download it on my computer. Can I get this from the stock email app?

[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Nope
[Galaxy S II General] EDV11:
Nope as is not supposed to work like that, or nope as I cant modify this behavior?
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Nope, as in you can't modify this option in stock e-mail application. Mails will remain on the server.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well for me it works both way, like depends on the mood of the Stock Email app. Sometimes Emails do get deleted on the server and stays in the IMAP Trash folder in server but sometimes it don't. Though majority of times it does get deleted on the server. I was talking about GMail.

Er ... Accounts Settings > Incoming Settings > Delete email from server -> When I delete from Inbox

When i click on account settings, it asks for user name and pass but it doesnt show any other option, it returns to the main account settings

My guess is they are talking about stock gmail app, there's no such option in Social Hub. You can't delete emails from server in Social Hub, you will still be able to see them from your pc.

When you delete a mail, it goes to a trash folder. But the mail keeps showing on my iPad. But if I delete it from there, then its just gone

Hello,

I have a couple of messages stuck in my outbox. I tried connecting to a fast wifi connection with a fast internet connection and that didn't help. I tried rebooting my phone - that didn't help.

I can click on delete but they neither send nor delete.

Sometimes they even show up which checkboxes next to them and you can check them and press deleted and it will say deleting but it doesn't.

FYI - I'm using Exchange activesync with an Exchange 2010 server running on Windows 2008 R2 with all patches applied.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
You seem to have fixed it, but I just wanted to let you know sometimes a battery pull is the best thing to do for network related issues. Chances are everything is fine with the phone itself as well as email client/configuration...so I've found that pulling the battery and letting it sit for 10-20 minutes solves some major headaches. I guess it just re-authenticates with the network after being dropped for so long or something. Good luck!

Yes or the free version. The difference between paid and free is that the free one you have to restore the apps one at a time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Flash23:
It says my maximum backup is one... So im guessing I can only backup 1 app at most with the free version?

Or I can only have 1 backup per app at most? THen if I want to do another backup, it will delete the older one?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SayWhat10:
and why does it hope a lot of battery % ?

is it supposed to be running all the time?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naerok:
It could be a number of things from playing media (Pandora, PowerAMP, moves, etc.) and/or the leftover service from the media hanging. You can use an app like OS Monitor to kill it and see if it calms down.

I've also read that it can be a sign of corrupt files on your SD Card. Try backing it up and formatting it, or removing recently taken photos/videos if it just started happening.

I downloaded the Charged V2 kit and used this

CI510_VZW_EP1F_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV3_user_CL300919_Rooted_Debloated.tar.md5

The flashing passed successfully but when I booted it back up, it wasn't debloated at all. I was staring right back at the terrible Samsung crap software I intended to get rid of.

It's been a very long time since I've done all this new phone altering since my OG Droid over a year ago so I dont' remember if I was supposed to do something else? I can't seem to find 1 straight to the point guide anywhere.

[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
you can just download Root Explorer and remove the extra bloat yourself from /system/app and /data/data.. Super Manager works well too if you want a free alternative

btw that rom EP1F is a bit dated (in order from oldest to current: EP1F->EP1H->EP1W->EP1Q->EP3H) but if you like it by all means you don't have to change or update.. if you want though the newer ones are in Development or the kernels/roms/mods sticky in general, and flash the same way as the one you just did

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoneyes905:
Weird no-one has replied to this.

In the android source code, navigate to this directory:

android/system/frameworks/base/data/fonts

Once there, copy paste any fonts into the folder (I usually just rename it to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf so that the system picks it up without much configuration),

If you aren't going to rename or you want to add extra fonts, this needs to be specified in the Android.mk file in the same directory so it gets added and utilized by the system correctly.

Hope I helped and Happy ROM-ing :)
