Pureness Build 13

Need help on flashing .587 kernel...

I am on stock kernel .431 with Locked BL and rooted phone. I want to try the New Pureness 13 build but as per OP i have to flash .587. My query is can i directly flash the .587 kernel from the Madfysh thread..will the root still be available or again i have to go through the entire rooting procedure.......:silly:

thnx in advance....

BTW i am on Pureness 11 so i have to completely wipe and format my system or cache and dalvik is sufficent.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Start afresh for build 13 Rom

And most likely you might have to go all over again for rooting

As I flashed .587 then .562 kernel

Rooted and flashed .587 kernel

That maintains the root

after falshing build 13 of xperia pureness super su is not working it sayas that it needs to be updated i pressed yes and then it told me that it failed !!! any help is appreciated :) :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] india86:
Can you pls share the .587 kernel as i searched but didn't find the Indian version of the kernel or can i flash the other region kernel from Madfysh thread...

;)Thanks you....and the same is clicked..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Yup that's the one by madfysh

No Indian version yet

Also you could try abhiheart thread related to .587 fw though that too is not Indian

I too am waiting for Indian version

You can flash this one for now

Enjoy:thumbup:

Anyone else with the same problem?

I bought a cheap USB cable, but my phone charges extremely slow with it (I only tested it via PC USB), and with slow I mean like 2% per hour. The original cable charged maybe at 20%<< per hour via PC USB or even faster.

What could it be? File transfer is as fast as with the stock cable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Still using original cable so dunno bro

AOSP issues

Hi I tried installing AOSP JB rom polish blood project rom but when I try to flash the boot.img using flashtool and keepin my mobile in fastboot mode it says "the device has to be rooted".Kindly help how to proceed?? :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
You are sure that your bootloader is unlocked?

Via Mobile
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prithvi999:
It's unlocked so only I'll be able to install cwm n all na..am i correct?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
You can install cwm, root and enjoy stock based custom ROMS with locked boot loader. You can't change kernel with locked boot loader. Hence no over clock. No ROMS like cm aokp etc
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prithvi999:
How to do that?p pls explain the steps..:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] magpipishbol:
Are you using the same usb charger adapter? It maybe because you use other than the original one. I also experience that when im using the generic adapter

Have anyone here have tried a jb rom having good battery backup? I am not satisfied from the roms ive tried regarding battery life. But performance wise, i really love jellybean thats why im askin this. Please anyone refer me a custom rom with atleast 2days batt life using sms/call only without data/wifi.. Thank you.. I hope im not posting on wrong thread hehe
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Why don't you try

Ics and jb remix

Or jelly sandwich

They don't drain battery much

If you don't use data it should work good:cool:

hit thanks if I help

its free ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] magpipishbol:
Maybe because the unit is still fresh and all the juices havent been reduced yet? Hehe just imo

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Ah yes. I tried jellysandwich but i had problem on superuser. It keeps prompting me to grant every step in titanium backup thats why i left it. Plus i want the cm type of messaging having those cute android smileys. Or if its possible to port that kind of messaging, then id love to stay in jelly sandwich. I just updated to bb77 maybe that may improve my batt life experience on your rom Hehe thanks btw

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:

Bro in superuser there is a setting to grant permission for all

Select that instead of prompts

AM I the only one finding it difficult to type in portrait qwerty mode. I tried the same with Samsung galaxy makes, HTC and LG. Everything felt easy and there were less errors. But in Xperia I make most mistakes. By typing I mean manual one and not swiping. Is it cos of the less width and more length in neo v?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
We have true 16:9 screens, so indeed slimmer than 480x800 screens of similar size. You could try Swiftkey.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Nope I too face it

So using phone keypad with predictions:thumbup:

hit thanks if I help

its free ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
Probably coz of the less than normal width. But I face the problem only with the stock sony keyboard layout. Mostly between the 'a' and 'q' and the 'l' and 'backspace'. I feel that the keys are too closely spaced.

The Xperia S keyboard layout on the other hand is great to type IMO. Also, swype beta too has a comfortable layout.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
@pandemic check this sig pic.........also i didnt get any bootloop.............whatsoever...:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
nice bro but better set it center, your whole signature, like i have, looks way better and alright good to hear :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Aarush:

but i have no time now to going further mate ;)

sorry for those peeps:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
Yup. SwiftKey makes typing a hell lot easier. But that means an extra app. I try to keep as less apps as possible on my cell. So swiftkey kinda goes against it. Hence I settled myself on XS Keyboard.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Swiftkey is too ram hungry, kills all other apps. Xperia S keyboard for me too.

Via Mobile
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
you can always delete the stock keyboard.....

EDIT,

I dont noramlly do this, but swype is the only keyboard i ever use, in 5 years time the qwerty "push Button" keyboard will be a thing of the past.

Already we are seeing technolgy getting ready for touch screen and gestures....once that happens you will never have to press a button again
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Which one is better?

Swype or Xperia S keyboard with swype?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] prithvi999:
I wanted to know the steps of unlockin the boot loader of my neo v. Pls help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iamdchosen1:
Read the noob guide in the sticky threads present in the development section!

Sent from my Xperia Neo V
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
If you really use gestures, swype is better IMO.

But where I live, it is very hot and humid outdoors and my hands get sticky due to sweat. So it is irritating to use swype with sticky hands. So for normal typing, I prefer XS keyboard.

HI, thanks for your reply. Anyway, I need your recommendation: should I stay with stock ROM and wait for the official ICS updates or should I try the available ICS ROM? I've been waiting fro the ICS for so loooong.... Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
I should wait for the final release, but thats my advice, and if you want try the ics rom overhere, you must unlock you bootloader, so its your own choice;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Yes but not only the camera Neo V have more standard internal memory without added more memory like by the Neo to get more memory and get the ICS as first then the Neo

Neo V not booting up

Hi Guys,

I am on a Locked BL and on Pureness 13, i flashed the Adreno driver V3 but found some performance issues so i tried to restored the /system folder as mentioned in the thread, but while doing that my phone rebooted and now stucked at SONY logo. As i went through the XDA threads found that SUS repair will help. Kindly share your views and help me to restore my phone.

Thanks in advance.

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

Just to inform this issue happened while i was restoring via CWM, got a msg formatting /system and its restarted.......@ DeathCzar by FTF you mean the kernel, yes i tried that with .587 kernel but still facing the issue.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
Open sus on your pc. Connect your boot looping phone. If sus detects it, Follow on-screen instructions. That easy it is.

If sus doesn't detect it, then search xda about how to flash an ftf file using flashtool.

I hope bricked my phone i guess Plz help

1). I have a strange problem with my Neo V its not even started (When u press the power button phone generally vibrates then start, atleast u so can see the kernel logo)

But this time nothing happening and when I press the power button for few seconds a very low green light blink up for 2-4 time and then nothing happening also the led green light blinking when I charging up my phone (its kind a scary) no red light appearing that can say its charging

The problem started when I first flash the old GB firmware Ne0V_4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf through flash tool it boots up properly even i able to run it with no issues then I connected it to Wi-Fi and download the OTA update .62 and installed it then after shutting down automatically its not booting up nothing is happening

I tried to start the phone even after removing SIM card and SD card but still nothing happening its persistent.

Im having a unlocked bootloader device which I have unlocked using TestPoint method using

S1Tool

5 months back

Even I flashed .62 firmware using Flash Tool But the problem is same :(:(:(

2). When I cud able to update my phone using PC Companion the official way to ICS from any custom rom then how cud a genuine firmware using OTA update messed up the phone completely whats the logic can anybody tell me.:confused:

To be more precise, I'm talking about this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

as my battery is 4 times now.

8hrs night standby its reducing by just 1 %

It is codename not codeman.

And it is safe to keep max 460 mhz but your device will be horribly low.

~700 mhz is safe and fast and battery saving too.

Hi All,

I have a small doubt. I am seeing that there are few AOKP, CM10 Roms are out for Neo V for JB. But in all of them Front Cam/Bravia/xLoud/HDMI doesn't work at all.

I also understand that they will work only if we get Oficial Update from Sony or we get Lib files (dunno what is it , anyway :P).

I heard/read 2011 Xperias are not getting JB official update. In this case, we are never gonna have the above mentioned things working EVER? Is ICS our final OS upgrade? Is it ever possible to use the files from official update of other Sony devices (when Sony proivdes JB to 2012 phones)?
