[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
Ouch... My eyes hurt so bad... Use spell checker next time pls.

I suggest you check our wonderfull tutorials where all this is explained in a fashionable manner.

Also when you install a new kernel check if it brings (or not) CWM with it.

Hi,

I tried to make my own rom from the new ICS RUU with kitchen.

All i did add is root, busybox. I zipalligned the apk's and change the update-script to updater-script.

When I flashed the rom, I didn't have all the built-in languages as the roms published here by others, and the home screen was text less...

Anybody knows why?

Hello! Im new here and looking for some help... "Rooted" the T-Mobile USA Samsung Vibrant last night... Used SuperOneClick v2.3.2.0 -- the latest version... It gets to a point where the phone is rooted, Superuser access, I have Super Manager installed, the File Manager is rooted w/ R/W, Busybox is installed and now, per the tutorial here, step 4-5 says to "Shell Root" and wait for hte prompt to reboot the phone... I get to SuperOneClick and hit the button but it times out - the program (SoC) goes to (Not Responding) in Windows 7x64 and has to be shut down... it does this after it says rooting step #2... changing method or what have you. Now, ONE TIME and one time only it made it all the way on teh shell root to step #7 but still froze up... Happens with either the SD card mounted or unmounted, after reboots of the phone, etc etc... Nothing I seem to do works. The phone is stock Android 2.2 FROYO.UVKB5 and now Im stuck w/ a phone that is rooted, hooray, but wont "un-root" and wont proceed with my goal of wiping and installing CyanogenMod 7... Help anyone??

And probably another three which I can't think of right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maciejb84:
was it not working before or what? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] okeefferd:
Are you talking about formatting blank tags? If so, I'm in the same boat. Looks like its just going to be a waiting game for the official update or hope a CDMA rom gets the fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
Yeah it works fine on 4.0.2

No I'm asking if anyone knows of a 4.0.3 rom where the NFC works, and when I say works I mean it reads tags. All the .3 roms I have tried nfc tags don't register when you put them against the back of the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Hmmm...so does Google Wallet only work on the stock 4.0.2 then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
Wallet has force closed each time I have tried to install it on a 4.0.3 rom

I asked JBQ and he said that this functionality wont be enabled in AOSP roms so I'm going to wait fro the official factory images to be released
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Yeah, I'll probably do the same, then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Wallet or NFC?

I recall reading a post where they talked about the whole NFC stack now being open source, and I don't see any vendor libs linked on the GN drivers pages for NFC (as they were with the Nexus S).

Does the NFC service enable on 4.0.3 at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScooterG:
NFC shows as enabled on the 4.0.3 roms, but doesn't read any tags. Google Wallet loaded and synced fine for me on some 4.0.3 roms, but never fully worked without the NFC capability. In 4.0.2 roms, NFC and Wallet work flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Grab a logcat when turning on the screen with NFC on. Does the polling service start? Do you see messages from NFC service being logged? Is there any activity at all when a tag is brought into range from the service itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScooterG:
If I go back to a 4.0.3 rom soon, I'll update with the requested info.

Hi guys recently rooted and installed CWM.

But I have no idea where to start on roms. I have kk9 stock rom, does this mean I have to kk9 based roms or can I just install any I want?

Also is there any recommended cwm guides to make sure I don't brick my note?

you can flash all CWM flashable roms you are not limited to kk9 only roms.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3000:
have you tried searching for it? or even use google and normally the first result would be the one you asked for..

type XTreme or whatever the name of the rom is and type xda at the end and you should find it...or just use the search button in the forum of original development

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zohaib0001:
Hello guys

Today i am going to give you a very small tip may you people like it ....

i used 2.3.4_283 firmware in Arc for a long time , after that i flashed 42 firmware and feel that its drain battery fast as compare to 283 firmware either you are using you phone or it is in deep sleep mod

Then i flashed 58 firmware and after that 62 firmware but battery drains still fast

then i try one thing on my arc i get the Kernel from 283 firmware and flashed it on all three version of firmwares ( 42, 58, 62 ) and notice that the issue of fast battery drain is solved it is only because of 283 kernel

now i am using 42 firmware with baseband 64 and kernel from 283 firmware

i attached kernel from global generic wold 283 firmware also...

How to flash different Kernels

1) connect your phone into fast boot

2) open cmd

3) fastboot devices

(write this command and enter it to check your phone is connected in

fastboot or not)

4) then write this and enter

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

Done ..........

remember to copy kernel .sin file in that folder from where you are going to launch cmd
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] realfelix:
mate, that's a good idea, but you should mention that you can just flash the kernel by excluding the baseband and the system in flashtool ;)

anyways i tried that 10 minutes ago and it ****in works ! thanks alot :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zohaib0001:
you can flash the kernel.sin alone through fast boot mod

How about the battery life compared to the OC kernels?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Battery life is always better on stock kernel, without OC.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] auni:
Thanks a lot dude. It genuinely works. Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Azev:
I use the last .62 firmware with 64 baseband and no more drain battery. Today i use 12% of battery instead 45% for the same use of the telephon. I will install the 283 kernel for to do a test.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] brezzz:
is the 2.6.32.9-perf kernel the one from .283? cos this kernel came with .42 when i flashed .42. Do the two have different version numbers?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zohaib0001:
In every stock rom the stock kernel have the same name like in 283, 42, 58, 62 firmwares

but only the name is same not the kernel
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] daniel_dedeman:
Now I m flashing.Tomorrow I will see if are any changes.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BrsDmrts:
Update

After i've done this, my phone says that there is a new update. And that i have to upgrade.

Should i do this? I'm guessing that an upgrade will change the kernel back to what it was.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] brezzz:
Brilliant, cheers mate
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Azev:
Today with 283 kernel, i used 20% of battery with the same use. Less better than the 62 for me. I continue the test for 3 charges of battery.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zangetsu2188:
Works great. Thanks. :)

Btw, after reverting to stock kernel, wifi does not work anymore.

I cannot turn it on, it only shows 'Error'

I used doomkernel v15 before, do I need something like wifi patch just like the procedure of flashing doomkernel?

EDIT: Got it working. Flashed the stock modules and worked.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zohaib0001:
yes you are right

after flash the 283 kernel our mobile give us notification of new update available. but its not the new software this notification is come because we are using old kernel . you are already using the newly firmware so no need to update it again

but

if you update it again it will flash the whole rom again with kernel also....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zohaib0001:
The result is revers for me mate

i am using 62 firmware now with 62 kernel from 2 days

and i think the battery drains is quicker as compare with this combination describe below

this will give you maximum battery time .......
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zohaib0001:
MY Recommendation

baseband from 62 firmware did not giving the best result with 283 kernel

only 42 & 58 baseband gives the best battery life & low drain with 283 kernel

May not be the case for everyone, but i am using .42 firmware with .36 baseband and kernel from .283 and my battery drain is amazing. 2 days, 10hours, 5minutes and still 54% battery remaining after average use.

This is crazy, why isn't sony thinking of this to fix it?

Sorry i'm newbie.

Can I flash rom cook on XDA (ex : acronium, Tweak...etc..) and use kernel 283 ??? or only use rom stock ? :confused:

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] cccs1:
so here is at tip from me

think the xperia pro is to use like arc / s

firmware for me .58 installed supercharger and recharged the battery to 100%

after that i killed batterybin in data/system and pluged off the charger.

I completely let the battery drain down and charged it till the battery shows full ( not 100 % ).

Now with normal usuage the battery is running 2 days and 22 hours / by 43% left.

i'm using FW .64 + BB .64, tried this kernel didnt stop my battery drain.

i switched between .38 / .42 / .64 bb.

kept draining i presume its the FW, but i dont want to reflash it atm.

i'll try to manage it out untill CM9 / ICS.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bolochan:
I only want to flash the kernel provided in the first post, to my stock firmware. However I can't use fastboot to do so as directed in the post. This is why I am asking if an unlocked bootloader is necessary. I know about custom roms but I don't want to invalidate my warranty as I have battery drain issues and I will use a service centre if I can't fix it. So, is an unlocked bootloader needed to flash the 283 kernel to stock firmware?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] adrianom:
Hello everybody,

I did a comparison of the source code from 283 version to 42/58/62, and there really is a difference in the power control for the 283 version, in fact between 42 and 283.

I am compiling a kernel with the new source code and changing this item.

If the problem was solved, I will release the kernel.

By.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bolochan:
Right i managed to do this, without unlocking the bootloader. But i still have the battery drain. I guess it is a hardware issue.

To get around the unlocked bootloader needed for fastboot, i first flash firmware 283. Then i flashed firmware 42, excluding the kernel. Same battery drain :-( I will take it to a service centre then.

Thanks

Yes I am already using flashtool, thanks, but the original post stated fastboot... In any case I took my phone to a service centre, and replaced the motherboard. Battery life much better, think I can get 2 days on light use out of the arc.

Regarding my flashing history I think I went 2.3.2, then2.3.3 then 2.3.4. However after I can't remember if I flashed down to 2.3.2 directly. Anyhow I think my battery probe have been fixed thanks

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] blackhawk1:
are you in fastboot mode? which is phone off, hold menu key, plug cable in.

if you are already in fastboot mode and it does that, that mean you haven't installed the driver properly. hence go to device manager, you would see unknown device with s1_fastboot ... update the driver (should be the same as the one you use to unlock your bootloader)

I do follow instruction with .58 and kernel .138, the problem with me is WIFI:

- if WIFI network had security with WEP.. I can not connect with it( connect then reconnect...).

- If wifi network do not have security. wifi connect but my brower do not run.

Today i will use .62 with kernel .138, maybe it will be better.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] dktn:
I use .62 and kernel .138 now. there is a problem is:

- turn on WIFI to connect network okay but when I turned wifi then network data lost(It replace by wifi(for example "H" or "E" lost, when turn off wifi it appear).

using this the battery is better than stock .42 or .62 original.
