[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtru:
I'm very new to Android as an OS with the Linux kernel at its heart, but fairily proficient with GNU/Linux and a plethora of its distributions for what has been more than a decade by now. So, what I (amongst other things) find a bit bewildering is that very many of custom firmware images seem to require a very specific kernel version or build for handsets to actually work. For my Xperia Mini (Smultron), there are ROM images based on CyanogenMod that won't work with the "vanilla" CM7 kernel, for instance.

With a proper GNU/Linux system, you don't have that kind close coupling of userspace and kernel versions at all. Barring some minor incompatibilities between certain (old) releases of udev and modern releases of the Linux kernel (and vice versa), there's very little (if anything) that stops you from supplanting your three years old distro's kernel with something that Linus released a few days ago.

However, whenever I've come across a guide how to install/set up this and that ROM for some kind of phone, and someone (more or less prominently) states that that image will require a specific kernel build, I've _never_ been so lucky to have been offered a technicial explanation as to why exactly this is the case. Can anyone reading this thread tell me, or point me to where I can find out more about the underlying reasons for these subtle incompatibilities?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtru:
I refuse to believe noone can answer that question...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Some features are not available in stock kernel, that are needed for custom ROM.

I am personally not fully familiar with kernels.

Hi

I cannot set a working Lockscreen PIN or Password anymore.

What happened, since yesterday my lockscreen PIN was not working anymore.

Im using the PIN now for several months so i'm for shure trying the right one.

I have to use at least a PIN or Password due to security requirements from a configured Exchange account.

Factory resetting did not help either. Was then able to connect with adb and delete /efs/cryptoprop*

This allowed me to use the phone, was also able to set a new PIN or Password but they won't work after locking the phone.

Did then format /system /efs /cache and reinstall, but even after all this as soon i configure a PIN this PIN won't work!

What was working was to set a new Paatern for unlock, but the Exchange account enforces PIN or Password.

Also the text is asking for an unlock password, but the screen shows the number keyboard, not shure if it was like this all the time.

Any idea waht could be wrong?

Hi all,

After coming over from the EVO 3D, I found the HUGE fonts, etc on the SGS2 disconcerting and ugly. I longed for my small clear fonts and tight spacing on the EVO3D qHD screen.

So I just downloaded LCD Resolution, a free app from the Market and set the Resolution to 200. Wow, what a difference! It is now just like looking at my EVO 3D with a better screen.

Awesome.

P.S., If you are using LauncherPro which doesn't have the ability to resize icons or fonts as Go Launcher does you will find this especially helpful. I have found Go Launcher to be an FC fest on the SGS2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pillzzberry:
The resolution changing doesn't size right with some stock apps so I stay away from it. If the font is to big or not to your liking just change font size and style...try a ics ROM it has the option to change the font size built into the ROM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] montecristo1:
I had used LCD Resolution...with my Thunderbolt and ET4G- until I started getting incompatibility to download apps from Google Play (Marketplace). So if you do experience that, you may have to uninstall the app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mitchellvii:
Hi guys. Thanks for the responses.

A couple asnwers here regarding LCD Density Pro. Have no idea as my OP is regarding an app called LCD Resolution. I am running the latest EL29 modem. I've tried this on a number of the top roms and all worked fine.

The benefit of this is that it also makes my icons smaller which was the problem when using LP on this device.

I've now set mine to 190 because I like that even better. Sorry it doesn't work for some. Works perfectly for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
I got mine at 160 and i like it :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Where is the font size option on tw ics roms? See the font style but I've only seen font size on CM9 roms.

I've been using Nova Prime on my phone and decided to try it on my Iconia. It has a lot of customization, and the Prime version has gesture shortcuts, the ability to hide apps in the app drawer and some nice transition animations. My favorite feature is that you can long hold on your screen to add Widgets :p

Here's my phone as a comparison:
[Acer Iconia A500] BakaNeko59:
How did you get the dock on the tablet? Mine doesn't seem to have that option.
[Acer Iconia A500] phillymatt:
It's not a dock I used different color cons on my app folders and put them on the bottom row. And the 3rd picture is my phone. Only the phone version has a dock.

Have you tried apex I find it a little smother and more stable nova crashed on me alot
[Acer Iconia A500] phillymatt:

I will check out latest release

[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Agreed and when u use root explorer to make it a system app it looks like stock but give you so much more. Plus I think its more fluid I do wish anderweb would update his adw launcher I feel like he's kinda stuck on what to do with it since he has such a wide range of users froyo up to ics.
[Acer Iconia A500] phillymatt:
I gave Apex a shot... It's definitely smooth and full of options, however I get a FC every time I long hold an icon in the app drawer to make a shortcut.

Edit: I found the developer's thread on xda... Launcher needs to be pushed to system/app not installed via the market. Works flawlessly now.

Yesterday I had to go to the browser on my Transformer, but when I wanted to unlock it I forgot what I wanted to do. So I'm thinking and I'm thinking and I see my Transformer rebooting. I thought it was forzen and it needed a reboot. Sinds then it's stuck on the boot logo(with powered by nvidia tegra underneath it). It keeps rebooting and rebooting but it never get's further than that.

I'm running stock ICS with the latest updates.

Sorry for bad english.

Found the problem just keep the power button for 10 seconds.

Turn it on again.

Then I reset the screenshot check and forgot to uncheck it after the shot. The first time it slept it rebooted. I think the problem is in the Asus settings.

[LG Optimus 2x] bbvidz:
Hi,

I tested 64GB mircro SDXC in my LG 2x (Modaco rom Gr6 and HP 2x kernel RC12-R) and it DOES NOT work :(

I was able to format the card to FAT32 in the phone, but when I try to mount it, the phone restarts itself.

If anyone else has different experience, please share.

BTW the card is SDSDQY-064G-U46A

UPDATE:

I managed to fix it. I'm not sure which steps were actually necessary but just to be sure I list them all.

First I tried NicomUA's idea of splitting the patritions in two 32GB. For that I used Paragon Partition Manager 11 Free. And IT WORKED! :) I made two partitions. I was able to access the first one in the phone, but I could not format or edit the second one neither in the PPM anymore.

So I used SDFormatter 3.1 and reformated the card into its original state with option "Format size adjustment".

Then I checked the partition structure again in PPM. It was exFAT, but with 16MB free space at the beginning.

I formated it to FAT 32 and resized it to 32GB (Now I made only one partition and left the rest of the space unallocated). It worked in the phone.

So I tried to resize the partion to see how far I can go. 32GB worked in my phone. 33GB worked in my phone! And suddenly whole 64GB worked in my phone!!! :eek:

I filled the card with movies and music to the max and tested if I can really access the content and YES, I was able to play anything on the card! :D:D:D
[LG Optimus 2x] k101d:
May be the limit is 32GB ??
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Officially, the limit is 32gb. I've seen mods that enable sd cards with higher capacity than the official limit on other phones, but sadly, I don't think there's one yet for the 2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sesto_Sento:
yeah, exactly what the other users said on above posts. i also tried it a week ago, in cyanogenmod 9 and it does not detect the sd card (no reboot happened to me, simply doesn't detect it). Let's hope someone release a mod soon for this... 32 gb is nothing... :|
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Well I thought it was plenty big, until my SD got almost full of videos and nandroid backups :p

Try to make one 31Gb(or less then 32Gb) partition on SD card. It can start work.
[LG Optimus 2x] Velocy:
Not made for SCXC

i dont think making 2 partition will work ,the SD card reader is made for SHHC (high capacity ) not for SDXC (Xtrem capactity ) ,so i thing it's a hardware problem:mad:

Should I buy this and what are the chances that it will work with our O2x

And according to this

http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html

it says it performs even worse than a class 2 sdhc card in random 4k write speed

Oh boy! Gotta try it out.. 64 grams is impressive..
[LG Optimus 2x] andresilva:
I would prefer the 32gb class 10 for the speed... also 32gb is plenty of room to fill... class 2 is very low speed and could interfere with the recording of videos for example in 1080p... I think...

I think m gonna wait for a month as my exams are round the corner..

but i'll definetely buy a sandisk mobile ultra as it has the best benchmarks :)

B/w Has anyone else got or tried the 64 GB card in optimus 2x??? Plz reply guyz...
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
Anybody besides the OP has managed to do this ? I've tried for weeks, I give up.

Used two cards, both SDXC 64GB, the SanDisk Ultra Mobile and a no-brand one from Amazon.

I used two different Optimus 2X, one running CM7, another running CM9.

The cards can't be formatted in the phones, they are simply not recognized at all.

I formatted them in Linux and Mac OS X, always FAT32, and always made a partition smaller than 32GB first, then tried ExFAT, full or bigger partitions, unallocated space in part or all, anything really. Nothing works.

Edit : the cards are fine, I can use then in Macs, PCs, DSLR and even a Galaxy Note. No problem.

Any ideas ? I'd think it's just not possible and the O2X hardware doesn't support SDXC, just SDHC, that's why I'm asking if anyone else can comment.
[LG Optimus 2x] bbvidz:
Did it work with partition smaller than 32GB?

Did you try to use 64GB FAT (not exFAT)? exFAT is not supported.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
It never worked. The phones don't even recognize the cards.

I tried all sizes and combinations of FAT32, partition of 16GB and the rest free, two partitions of 32GB each, one single FAT32 of 64GB... Etc. Then other file systems like exFAT just out of desperation.

SDHC cards work just fine, one uses a 32GB and the other a 16GB one.

SDXC are never recognized. That's why I can't even format on the phones, for the O2X the card is not there. I know the cards are fine, they work everywhere else, and I assume both phones are fine, one is brand new.

This with CM7 and CM9.
[LG Optimus 2x] Syriochan:
If the OP is right then 64gb cards, if split up in two partition, can be read by the hardware of o2x. So it is just a software problem. (My two cents)
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
I thought it was software too, now I am not so sure. Well, I give up anyway. I tried even cloning a 32GB card that works into a 64GB block by block with dd in Linux. Neither phone sees it.

I know for a fact that different O2X have different manufacturing processes and thus different characteristics. Some can be overclocked, some can't. I got one which works well with any recovery and the new one I borrowed has the vibration bug ( whenever you boot to recovery it starts to vibrate, can't be fixed, someone else started a thread about that... )

So I guess I'm not lucky and these two just don't support SDXC while others do.

ಠ_ಠ
[LG Optimus 2x] rachit_rox:
First of all these cards wont be recognized in Custom Roms (CM9 or CM7).

Secondly u should try formatting the card in any stock rom of any phone without making any partitions.

try these steps and let me know....

if the cards are ok as you say then they should work on our optimus 2x
[LG Optimus 2x] rev_dvd:

[LG Optimus 2x] rexren:
My 2x is work with sandisk 64g sdxc in cm7 rom.

When I first time to insert the card and LG 2X can not recognize it.

I remembered the phone said the card damage....and ask if need to repair the card and I select yes.

With 64g sdxc card , I lost my status bar or can not read sd card sometime after reboot. I also have the message "sd card checking errors" keeping in status bar .

To solve the problem is just delete the file system/bin/fsck_msdos.
[LG Optimus 2x] rachit_rox:
congrats....have you tried formatting the card to ntfs with hp kernel??
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
Thank you very much for the info !

So it IS possible in CM + O2X. Damn. Why with two phones and two cards I can't is beyond me...

Edit : Found a stock rom that won't disable root or the recovery, going to flash and see if I can format the card there as rachit_rox suggested, and if that works, back to CM and test. CM itself just won't see it, not even an error. Let's see.

Edit 2 : Reverted one of the phones to stock, it does see a card, says it's blank with no file system. Not true, it's FAT32, anyway, I am formatting it from the phone but it's been stuck at "unmounting SD card" for a while. 10 minutes and counting.

Edit 3 : I give up. Gets always stuck unmounting the card, doesn't format it.
[LG Optimus 2x] owain94:
does someone have a good site for a sdxc card?

i want to do some testing with cm9 on the o2x :D
[LG Optimus 2x] rachit_rox:
Put this card in your friend's phone who has not even rooted it and is still on stock rom...then it should be recognised and you should be able to format it...then turn off the phone...remove the SD card and put it in your O2x...try this it should work :)
[LG Optimus 2x] rachit_rox:
and format it in a different phone not O2x
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
I've done that. I can format both cards in a Mac, in a PC with Linux, in cameras or Samsungs with stock rom. The cards work everywhere, not a problem.

But then they are not recognized when inserted in the two O2X I have. Can't format, can't read, nothing. Closest I got was with LG stock, and it got stuck at unmounting, could not format.

Either both phones are broken or I am going nuts. I am going to flash the exact same build of CM7 from temasek in those screenshots above and see.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

At this rate I should send you the two I have, since I got them exclusively for the O2X and can. not. use. them.

Not with your rom either by the way, I've tried.

GRRRR.

Edit : Nothing. Wipe + factory reset, all wiped out, then installed temasek's CM7 fresh build. Boot. Insert card. Nothing. Can't see it or detect it. Insert it blank, formatted as FAT32, formatted on the camera and the PC. Formatted as two partitions of 32GB. As one big FAT32 of 64GB. Formatted as free space, no file system. Nothing, nothing... Any other card is seen, I've tried 32GB, 16GB, 8GB and 1GB.

[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
I got them from amazon.jp two months apart, first the SanDisk Ultra Mobile, then a no-brand one directly sold from Amazon. Cheaper than any other option around here and getting cheaper every week, for some reason. Check their European sites.

For what it's worth, the Galaxy Note seems to get the cards at once, and format them, no problems. The OP and another poster made them work in their O2X, so I'm seriously considering that the two devices I have been using are defective...
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
DONE.

I don't know how or why. Just the latest CM7 nightly, one O2X, the SanDisk Ultra and the same thing I've tried over and over, time and again. BUT.
