Hmm im not sure but i would do some research before trying it if it might hard brick... let me get back to you on that
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
thanks ive been trying to look i only found one post on this i just wana say too you hat off for helping me letting me see how easy all this is flashing is like jail breaking a iphone lol i flashed the stock rom less than 3 mins lol i think somone should post a video on here how to flash i bet that would help alot of noobies
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
No problem. Also, thanks for the idea! I might have to make one :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
yeah i figured u would do that and not me im a noob lol i mean a video might give this site a better rating kinda like ya know... ohh someone said if i turn phone off hold search button and if my led turns blue my bootloader is unlocked true?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Sadly it is not that simple. You can only tell if your bootloader is unlocked by using a fastboot command. The led turning blue only shows that the phone is in fastboot mode
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
thought soo i figured i would ask u i googled that and other sites said that so ok see thing is i have two xperia play r800at both rooted and running the same one is gf and other is mine lol wierd thing is that stock rom u gave me is a little different than original somehow wish i could post a video and show you apps run a lil different wierd...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Well the rom i gave you was for recovery. have you tried reinstalling CWM and flashing the nandroid? That would put it back to the settings you had before.

If it says md5 sums mismatch or something like that, I dont know if i can help you. But I will try regardless:D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
yeah everything is the same but a lil faster im not complaining at all lol just seems a lil different compared to the other phone nothing force closed after i installed recovery
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Well then keep it that way. :p It could just be the fact that a fresh install will clean anything up.

Cheers
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
gotcha yea lol still want to overclock lol im always messing with it lol trying to find ways that no one knows lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
If you want to overclock you WILL need the bootloader UNLOCKED. In order to know if you can do that, I would need to know what kind of data your phone gets. As in 3G or 4G.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
well normally its h+ data as of right now i have no data im on the prepaid at&t go phone which now i see was a mistake this phone has been sim unlocked as well for any sim but this prepaid crap it doesnt show network operators
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Well you could try this:

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

It will guide you to unlocking your bootloader if you have a gsm model phone (see the guide).

If you have a CDMA phone, or you don't feel comfortable in command line; use this:

http://unlock-bootloader.com/

I have used this service and can say it is so easy. The one hard part is the testpoint. And that is easy if you have wire. I had to use a paperclip that was really hard to bend into the right shape. Copper wire would work fine.

It is $24 and worth every penny.

Just click the contact link on.the website and ask about the procedures and costs
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
ok kool im gonna check those links out and see ... ill let u know if i proceed i hope i dont brick it lol be my luck lol i was just trying to find out if its unlockable for free lol if not ill pay for it no problem
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Well the free way can be risky but the paid way costs. Oh the choices:p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
i know free way isnt a option lol my imei is 15 characters long so it looks like ill pay for it ...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
you are supposed to remove the last character.

Read bro. Going too fast WILL brick your phone
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
Ohhh lol i was told that now i feel dumb....
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Bro dont feel dumb just read THROUGHLY or bad things Will happen. I know this first hand:p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
ok kool i will :) well it was just like ahhh duhhh lol and the other thing is im 41 lol makes me even more like duhhh lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
i did and man i just wana try it but i think it will brick by checking my serivce config for bootloader can be unlocked has no status therefore says i cant unlock it but i went a head with all the downloads anyways put in my imei number and it did give me a code lol but im sure if i continue it will brick grrrr if i had a spare phone i would do it just to see what happens lol set tool is another way??? at your own risk kinda deal?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
It is a do at your own risk deal. Use the unlock service I mentioned earlier. They did it on my phone which isn't supposed to have a unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
yeah see thats the thing it gave me a unlock code which is strange if u cant unlock the bootloader and ive been researching this rom 2.3.4 SE r800a note my phone is r800at but when i remove the sim its r800a kinda wierd you would think it would work but it doesnt it will flash and all but touchscreen wont work lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
I would still use the service I mentioned if you don't feel confident in command prompt
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
yeah im gonna there is a POR point of no return lol so im gonna go head with it and see what results i get heres a question i pull out my simcard and its like the phone is unlocked but the minute i put at&t sim in its locked to it and its a gsm phone that makes me think its sim unlocked only for tmobile at&t and if i were to use straight talk thinking it wouldnt work
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Well SIM lock and bootloader unlock are 2 different things entirely.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
i know that but it should allow network operators with any sim and it doesnt tmobile and att contract 4g but not prepaid att locked there sim up im thinking
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Hmm I'm not too famaliar with that actually
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
i didnt think so when i get off work im gonna try to unlock bootloader either that or ill put the r800a rom on 2.3.4 4.0.2.0.4.2 generic heard alot of peeps using it and its working but also heard touchscreen wont work lol ill just dump my rom and see what happens
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Well it has been a few days, how did it work out?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
no that bootloader unlock tutorial wont work and found out it will brick if i try hard brick that is lol and r800a rom yes it works but touchscreen doesnt work the stock rom i flashed the one u gave me lol is awesome and works btr than the one the phone came with for some strange reason the battery lasts almost 2 days on full charge lol and there is a slight difference in the about phone section the kernel part on the my phone just says 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUSER@SEMHost#1 the other phone is all the same except under semcuser there is a underscore under the S does that matter?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Well if the bootloader unlock tut wont help just use the bootloader unlock service.

Its great that the R800a rom works but don't you kinda need the touchscreen? :p

As for the question about the kernel, I'm not sure about that one. If it works fine though, then I don't see a problem. :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
yeah the kernel thing kinda worrys me as today i lost wifi but got it back tho so other than that phone runs great really not complaining at all just kinda wierd that i noticed a difference not sure if it matters but batt life is alooottttt better lol yeah need the touchscreen lol just trying to figure what file to put in to make it work ya know
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Yeah for the wifi thing, if it goes to error; you would need to reflash the stock wifi modules from doomlord.

Also, I'm not a very experienced dev so idk what file you should put. Try searching the forum.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
ok yeah ive been looking thru the fourm i see scripts for plays with unlocked bootloader and such but a few dev guys are working on the no touchscreen thing im off the job hurt so i been doing this everyday trying to figure out things that no one has thought of trying yet lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Well good luck in this quest.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
thanx it will be fun :) have u heard that xperia play works on straight talk?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
No I haven't. Sadly I cannot sim unlock my phone. Sounda like it could save a lot of cash tho
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportstj11:
sim unlock is real easy 7.99 to sim unlock with code or i think there is a free one too .... i dont know if u know im sure u do but i was looking thru the forums and found the safe system apps to remove and whoa i added 45 apps lol and still have 197 mb in phone lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Well the r800x cant be sim unlocked because it doesn't have an accessible sim card

[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
I'm new to the Sensation threads and wanted to know your views on the best ICS roms.
[HTC Sensation] Raiderz8418:
If you are new to the scene I would definitely recommend Mikes Android revolution HD 6.51. It's the most downloaded ROM of all time and in my opinion the most complete. Other than that, each ROM suits everyone different, take a look at all the different ROMS and their features and screen shots and see which one you like the best.
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
I'm already using it...lol, I love it!
[HTC Sensation] Raiderz8418:
Haha then we are on the same page, I have tried a couple but always seem to go back to ARHD because of how clean it looks. I'm waiting for a more stable release of a ics sense 4.0 ROM, maybe I'll try one now for heck of it. :)
[HTC Sensation] BurnRubber90:
IMO it depends. When I want stock 100% look I go with AR HD. If I want a customized install I go with Insert Coin. There are many other great ROMS i haven't tried (lack of time).
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
Lol...:) good luck and don't forget to let me know how it goes and I will likewise;)
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
Yeah, I'm afraid to leave the Rom I'm using because I have a feeling this is the best now. But, what about none Sense ICS Rom? Pure Vanilla, that's a option.
[HTC Sensation] joser24:
I like energy. Pretty sick just stock but nicely done.
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
Cool, I was just looking at the Energy Rom, funny you just brought that up.
[HTC Sensation] bornsummer:
The best Sense 3.6 ROM for me is Elegancia.

It is so beautiful :)
[HTC Sensation] paulgl26:
insertcoin
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
I'm running arhd because I like sense....widgets, lockscreen....

before flash it (just for try) I flashed virtuous inquisition....

it was AMAZING, smooth and....I felt like I had a nexus in my hand....

is sad to see that there are not full aosp ics roms....

hope we'll see one soon :)
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
Wow...beautiful huh? I think I'm going to give this one a try next...thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Mad Tiger:
[noob on] what's aosp please? [noob off]

elegancia is quite good, but I don't like the style of the icons, too many colors, that's why I like ARHD, because it's really sober and pure. But that's my advice! :)
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Android Open Source Project.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
ARHD for me as well.

there are a lot of solid ROMS out ther also, Energy and Elegancia are good as well. RCMIX was one of my favorites before (but seems like development stopped it seems)
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
I've just tried Senseless ICS. It over heats and not stable. Hope there will be a stable version soon.
[HTC Sensation] Vinsane:
Elegancia is amazingly stable...beautiful...and customizable
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
My only prob with it is it's too themed for my preference
[HTC Sensation] abhishek.magaji:
Android revolution HD 6.51
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
What about coin Rom? I'm about to test it...
[HTC Sensation] stubradley:
+1 for Android Revolution HD by Mike1986
[Epic 4G General] mtwow789:
While day dreaming, I had one thought about cases. For those who can afford, why not sell brand named cellphone/tab cases?

I was wondering why brand named (ie. Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, etc) manufacturers are not making good and functional cases for phones like iPhone, Galaxy S2, iPads, Tabs etc..

It seems that to me, it is a good market for people who can afford such expensive devices.

I believe that nowadays, phone is an important part of accessories, and just like wallets, watches, and handbags, it can be used as representation of one's fashion-sense/wealth/success.

After spending +$500 on devices, why equip it with cheapo plastic cases? Cheap cases deter value of a phone and hides design intention of a phone. Why not sell well made and functional cases that are also fashionable?

I've been browsing through and most of manufacturers only have pouches/sleeves. This is stupid as I have to take the phone out of it, which creates unnecessary hassle and doesn't really protect the phone either.

I believe if manufacturers can make ~$200 design cases, I think it will sell like hot cakes.
[Epic 4G General] GuestK00145:
Those brand name cases will be expensive and fragile, not really worth it
[Epic 4G General] ProDriver77:
+1. I've bought $5 cases from Five Below and they've held up just as well as the $30+ "premium" cases sold at the Sprint Store.
[Epic 4G General] mtwow789:
Interesting...

I guess us phone geeks worth the functionality and cost effectiveness more than appearance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] justinmcnairy:
Do you know any app on the Play Store that support dual core to set	CPU? I found few support only single core, and I don't know if it worth buying setCPU app if i don't know it support Dual-core...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
set cpu works fine for me...also system tuner pro is good too...I have both..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyc0642:
SetCPU supports dual-core, and you don't have to buy it on Play Store, it's available for free to Xda members...

Thank. I will try it out. If i like it, then i can support them by buying the appI'm the market
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] justinmcnairy:
I will try it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] abduleo77:
How do you use set CPU to enable the second CPU on the note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyc0642:
Open SetCPU, then

Menu> Device Selection> Auto Detect

It will automatically detect your processor if it's supported (which it is) and show all available frequencies the kernel will allow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] abduleo77:
So it just automatically enables it? In system runner it is an option that you can turn on and off. Does setcou have a function the allows you to enable and disable the second processor?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyc0642:
Not that I'm aware of. At least I haven't seen it anywhere in the settings. It does what I need it to so I haven't even considered using anything else. Disabling a core seems counter-productive to me, but to each their own I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Couple of question:

1). The version in XDA is 2.24, but the Google Play version is 3.0. Since the XDA version is so outdated, does that means it still have LOTS of bugs that have not been ironed out?

I don't mind donating, but I want to try SetCPU first and hoping I can try the latest version.

2). Judging by the reviews in Google Play, this app doesn't work very well for the AT&T Note. Does it work for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyc0642:
Personally I don't trust Google Play reviews simply because most of the ratings and reviews are generated by bots and are not real or true. I have used v2.2.4 on my Note with no issues on GB or ICS(although there is no OC support in ICS since there isn't kernel source yet, it helps control lag and battery life), never really used any other app, been using SetCPU since I had my G1 lol. I see the dev hasn't even been on Xda since January, so maybe if you email him via his Google Play dev email and ask him to update the Xda thread to the latest version you might get somewhere. But if you don't mind donating then feel free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Yeah setcpu is great. Use it on my CM9 HP touchpad and on my ICS Atrix 4G. No reason to control individual cores. Let android handle it.

It is, however, useful for undervolting/under/over clocking if supported by your kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
For the AT&T Note, what settings do you use that is MOST STABLE?

1). Governance

2). Scheduler

3). Minimum CPU (there is a warning in the app that some Samsung phone may CRASH if using lower than 384Mhz)

I am not looking to Overclock, just to save battery.

I am rooted, stock ROM and kernel.

EDIT: hmm... I setup the following and my battery life seems to WORSEN:

1). Minimum CPU: 192 instead of 384

2). ONE profile --> screen off: CPU is between 192 to 540

Everything else is default. Now my battery goes down by 1% / 10 minutes while screen is ON and 1% / 20-25 minutes while screen is OFF. Prior to installing SetCPU, it's 1% / 15-20 minutes when screen is ON and when screen is OFF, I tested (ovenight) --> 5% in 8 hours.

I have NOT installed anything after installing SetCPU. The above time was tested while using the Note normally. I.e. browsing the web, NOT watching movies, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
There is an app that does exactly what your needing and its called "2nd core". It is made specifically for the GS2 and the Galaxy Note. It has a single core mode.

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 AM ----------

EDIT: My bad I guess we don't have a kernel that supports it on our version of the Note. I will start a thread askin if someone is willing to make a kernel to support this app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] powdered_donuts:
To my knowledge there wont be any overclockable kernels available until samsung releases the kernel source which wont come until after the official ics release. correct me if im wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
I'm not using ICS and refuse to upgrade til the official release and kernal source is available. I use gingerbread and there are kernals available but none support the app 2nd core. I posted a thread yesterday askin if someone could add support to a Gingerbread kernel so people like myself that still use gingerbread could try this app. The app is very nice and very useful. You can use single core mode which will save lots of battery or dual core mode which will speed up your device. The international Note has a couple of kernels that support this app and there are a lot of great review about how great it actually is. If you would've actually took time to read the OPs post you would have seen that in his signature he is using DAGr8s kernel which means he is also using Gingerbread which means I answered his question the right way. Maybe he has upgraded to ICS but I was just answering with the info I was given.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roadster92:
I am not quite sure what this is about. I just switched over from the Motorola Photon, from what I understand that the second core is turn ON automatically when needed. This is to help save power , heat and battery life.

To turn ON the second core is easy. If you are rooted and have terminal emulator installed.

Issue the following command in terminal as superuser:

To Turn ON

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

To turn OFF the second Core:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

That's it. I checked myself.

When I was using the Motorola Photon. Using both cores all day does not accomplished anything but ruin battery life and generated heat.

I read the info on 2nd core App. It basically does the same thing as the 2 commands above. All you have to do is create 2 scripts. One to turn ON and the other to turn OFF and use script manager in the play store create the short cut or widget and execute that on the fly.
