[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] seXneo:
Hi,

I'm kinda new to flashing and upgrading my phone.

Therefore I got some questions:

Currently running on my Neo: AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA with kernel provided there

Baseband says: 56 as last two digits

I would like to upgrade my baseband to 62. (latest)?

As far as I understood I will have to flash 4.0.2.A.0.62 Baseband using flashtool.

Do I have to flash the kernel again after upgrading baseband or should I flash the 4.0.2.A.0.62 Kernel first and change it afterwards?

Will changing the baseband or kernel delete anything?

When would be the right time to apply the RAISE your NEO userdata space patch? Before or after baseband, kernel flash?

Sometimes they say that a reboot is required after flashing a new ROM before flashing an update.zip in CWM. Do I have to reboot at other times?

Is there a tool or a possibility I missed which can flash anything like baseband, kernel, ROM and updates to it in one step?

If I want to edit a ROM like directly changing bootanimation and ringtones.

How should the zip file be packed? No compression, etc?

Is it a good idea to include updates which I would have flashed in CWM directly into the ROMs zip file?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Kernel is not related to baseband. Simply flash baseband, no need to flash kernel after or before.

Flashing baseband won't delete anything, but flashing kernel might. I see that kernel in that thread have CWM inside, so if you flash stock kernel you will lose that.

Whenever you want. It's not related to kernel or baseband.

Yes, they say that so that ROM "settles down in it's place" then you can install fixes and stuff.

What other times?

There is flashtool, but only for stock rom's. Custom roms are installed as a .zip file via CWM recovery.

You can do that with root explorer app(or any app which can access to system), create that bootanimation.zip on pc and upload it to sdcard, then move it to where it needs to be. For bootanimation.zip, yes, it's with no compression. How it's created, check other bootanimation.zip's over the net.

For other zip's which are flashed trough CWM, it's a bit more complicated to explain how to create them.

Well depends. Most likely yes, but I would still ask creator/porter of each rom if that is advisable
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] seXneo:
Thank you very much.

But in this point there was a misunderstanding.

I just wanted to know how the update.zip or rom.zip has to be packed and if it's save to replace bootanimation.zip inside rom.zip. Are there any checksums for apk or other files inside an CWM update.zip I need to change?

Most of the ICS based ROMs use MT15i_Neo_ICS_Kernel_V1.img. Where does it come from and where is it's original thread?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chintu1234:
if it's save to replace bootanimation.zip inside rom.zip. Are there any checksums for apk or other files inside an CWM update.zip I need to change?

its safe to change bootanimations.zip and any other apk or file in side the provided update.zip file

but if u extract it n do changes then u will lose the signature of the developer n wont b able to install the update.zip properly
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] seXneo:
Yes of course. If original zip file flashed and runs nice it will be my fault if it won't after my edits.

So no checksums in the update.zip directly. Thanks.

Signing of an altered apk file is required. Got it.

And I figured that there is no signing of the bootanimation possible.

Will post my question regarding the kernel in an extra thread.

Hello

I can't post in the original thread because I'm new and don't have 10 posts, but I just wanted to say thank you to the creator of Dark Knight 3 rom for sgs gti9000. It works flawlessly and is so beautiful I have fallen in love with my phone again. Speed and battery life is incredible. thank you sir. Your work is just brilliant.

I did have a minor issue where 3g wasn't working and my play store would not work.

To solve the 3g problem I went to network carriers in settings, searched for available networks and re registered with my network. It came on instantly.

For the play store, I restored a backup from titanium backup that I had on 4.0.3. It worked and updated automatically. Problem solved

No more issues. This rom is great. THANKS AGAIN!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] raduit:
i9000

I use the same Dark Knight 3 rom for sgs gti9000 and is a good rom.

I have the same problem with the posts in developers section to say what bugs i found.

the think that bothers me now in this rom is that the camera not work corectly.

i wait for the next version , maybe the camera will have features from 2.3.5.

however, they did a great good job
[Galaxy S I9000 General] charmthief88:
For your 3g, that might be more modem based my 3g works a treat. Do you know how to tackle a modem problem? If not would you appreciate a link or two. I experienced the camera issues too its a shame as this is such a beautiful ROM.

IF not go to Team ICSSGS flashing guide, the advice there is applicable or check out the site theandroidsoul

Hi,

I just updated my sgs s 2 today with the ics via ota. Afther the install i did a factory reset. Now the problem is that the phone wont connect to any wi-fi. When i turn on wifi, it scans and dhow all availible networks. But when i try to connect, nothing happen. The icon for wifi does not show up in the statusbar either, but wifi is on in the settings menu.

I tried to reset the phone several times now - but not helping anything. Can anybody suggest domething for make my wifi working agsin.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghareb:
Same issue

I had a similar issue on wifi after the update but not as severe as yours. It is only twice that the wifi did not want to turn on and even the phone was shut down on its own but after that it is working fine so far. I flashed it using Odin and did not wipe the phone. Try flashing the rom before ICS and install ICS by Odin without wiping the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlhdk:
I tried to reinstall the update via kies, and now wifi is working :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bytes2000:
I can confirm the wifi problems, and actually my phone has been crashing a lot. actually I had to remove the battery in order to continue using it.

I have a theory that it is caused by wifi or 3g, last night I disabled both 3g and wifi and in the morning the phone didnt crash overnight.

Great theme trita, awesome work. I am sort of new to this and have a question. If the green chrome icons arent flashable how do i install them?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Pm you sir...:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trita629:
You set the icons manually through your launcher. In this case, it's Launcher Pro. To do it you long press the homescreen and add a shortcut from there you can change to your desired icon. I know it's a pain but that'll have to do for now.

I will be adding "AEON" to pulldown and also changing the menu colors cause it seems a little bit highlighty-ish (?) for me.

What stylus do you recomend to sony s, i want to right notes from classes

Please if possible ebay link
[Sony Tablet S] dtaylorr:
none

All of the ones that I know of have a rubber piece at the end and are not suitable for hand writing.

What I don't know is if the new Samsung firm stylus would work.
[Sony Tablet S] Xusko17:
Hi guy! I've the typical cheap stylus, but I don't recommend you to take notes (I'm in university and it isn't easy to keep pace with him hehe).

A very good pencil is the Adonit jot, I haven't tried it but I've readed that is very good! But is very expensive too...

Later, to take notes I recommend you the FreeNotes apk....is very easy and, for me, the best apk for this!! hehe. Free in the PlayStore!

Sorry for my english, I'm Spanish...;)
[Sony Tablet S] heitea:
The best stylus for handwriting on the Sony S tablet that I've found found is the just mobile Allupen. It does take some getting used to and there is a slight delay. It is the only rubber tipped stylus I've run into that you can write with. Also your mileage may very depending on what app you're using to take notes. My personal fave is Freenote.

The adonit Jot works well too, but I thinks it's more suitable for drawing than writing as it will constantly be clicking against your screen if you even write moderately fast. Good for cursive though.

Another good option is the fabric tipped gogo stylus it's exactly the same as the fabric tipped aponyo stylus, but it's a little cheaper.

With any of these you have to get used to writing with them. It's not like writing with a pen. Also all the palm rejection software I've run into has been less then thrilling. I just wear fingerless gloves to solve that problem.

Good luck!
[Sony Tablet S] dtaylorr:
works great

I just got the Adoint Jot and it works fairly well,

http://adonit.net/product/jot/
[Sony Tablet S] Elsydeon:
I'm surprised people have gotten any stylus to work with the Tablet S. I've tried two different iFaraday styluses, which are supposed to be the most sensitive stylus available, as well as a Boxwave rubber tipped stylus, and a dirt cheap generic Ebay rubber tipped stylus. All of these tips trigger a strange constant double tapping action just by touching the tip to the screen. Extremely annoying when in the browser as this causes the screen to constantly zoom in and out. I pretty much just assumed the Tablet S screen simply can't handle styluses.
[Sony Tablet S] dtaylorr:
works perfect

Um, mine works most of the time.

The rubber tipped ones don't work very well.
[Sony Tablet S] weaponXandroid:
Hey, you sure that works?

I am wanting to buy one stylus for using sketchbook,

may I request a video of working Adonit jot on your Sony Tablet S.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supernova_00:
This is a two part question. What screen brightness do you usually leave your phone at? I leave mine on what seems to be 0 (see next paragraph for explanation) and my screen still always uses around 60-70% of my battery. I don't understand how it can use that much without the backlight on.

Next question - When adjusting the screen brightness and the slider is all the way to the left is that 0? I'm asking because every widget out there when set to 0 is a a few times brighter than when I manually move the slider all the way to the left. Also, after using a widget to toggle to 0 and I check in the display settings, the slider isn't all the way to the left.

So I'm wondering what is true 0? What the widgets set it to or with the slider all the way to the left? Could the slider being all the way to the left actually be hurting my battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
No zero on the slider is technically not zero. You can confirm this checking your brightness sysfs file. You have to decompile framework and adjust some numbers. We can take it down to true zero or slightly above which would be much dimmer.

I did this for the atrix. Im surprised it hasnt been done yet for the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supernova_00:
I know it is not actually 0 because if it was I wouldn't be able to see anything on the screen.

Is there anyone that has insight on my questions though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I dont understand your question. Zero is not true zero unless we mod the framework. So your backlight is not "off". I dont know why youre getting so much drain.

But we should mod this anyway. Use root explorer and go to sys/devices/omapdss/display0/a6e8aa0 and open the brightnesd file. Note that value with your slider at zero and you will see a reading of 30 (0-255). So we can lower that down to maybe 5-10 and zero on the slider will be much dimmer = battery saving.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aidanbree:
I have a similar problem. The max brightness is piercing and the min brightness is just a tiny bit too dim.

I have tried used root explorer to change the maximum brightness from 255 to 100 hoping that the slider may be more granular after. For some reason however I cannot update the max brightness file. I have ensured that it is r/w mounted and tried changing the permissions too. It says that the changes have been made and the original backed up. When I reopen the file it hasn't changed.

BTW, my 'brightness' file is at 10 when placed at the minimum brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Try the newest AOKP.

Brightness controls.

I actually have NEVER used auto brightness...even back in my OG days.

And my X days.

Even when custom auto-brightness options were around I ignored them.

I'd simply keep it at around %20 of the default lowest value.

BUT...this is slightly annoying when you step into the sun and can't see anything.

With the newest AOKP you can even set the amount of brightness changes.

I set up four values.

I've mine set up for a pitch black room to lowest.

Average room to my previous 20%ish.

Bright (sunny) to 100/255

SUPER sunny to 240/255.

I didn't notice any added drain today.

But this was my first test.

I think this feature was actually kanged from CM9, but I'm not certain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aidanbree:
So far I have resisted the temptation to get flash happy and I am on stock 4.0.2 but rooted. Do I have any options without changing ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
We cant change that brightness file with root explorer, even mounted, unless we mod the driver first. It will likely just revert right back to its previous value.

However it is possible i bet to edit the driver. Would be a cool project. You could also try to echo your desired value in terminal. ie echo 255 > brightness. But you prob will get the same result as using root explorer.

Maybe ill look at the driver with my limited skills heh. Or the alternative is to mod the framework which is def possible to fix this, and easier. We did exactly this on the atrix. And the sgs2 had it done too.

Edit: i think i found the code for your granular request. Check lines 30 or so.

https://github.com/ogdobber/android...0/include/linux/platform_data/panel-s6e8aa0.h

Still would be easier to do in framework instead.
