[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajphoenix:
Even I had the same questions..

I'm on an R800i ..

Android: 2.3.4

Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62

I just got the phone this week, so I'll be happy with the stock rom for a few months..

All I wanna do is root it, so I can remove the bloatware..

(If possible, without having to unlock the bootloader for now)

My last phone was the LG P500 .. and all I needed to root that was run the gingerbreak apk.

Any chance of that working here?

Also, there is a sticky in the dev section for how to root, but that now redirects to a page [WIP] ClockworkMod Recovery - FreeXperia page..

So really confused..

Do I install CWM and then flash that file for rooting?

(is it possible to install cwm without rooting?)

Or do I root it using some other method, and then flash CWM using what that thread says?

Uber confused.. :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BikerBoy030:
it is not possible to root Rombuild .62 you need to downgrade your rom to.40
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajphoenix:
dang.. :(

and for downgrading I'd have to use flashtool, right?

wouldn't that format the phone as well?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
First you root then u install the clockworkmod recovery. Superoneclick worked for me or use flashtool.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajphoenix:
Errm.. So you CAN root .62 firmware with Superoneclick?:confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scouse83:
Use easy rooting tools thats what i used an got same firmware mate
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajphoenix:
but from what I've read, it seems .62 firmware cant be rooted :(

any guides on how to revert back to 0.42 or some other older version?

and will i lose my data/apps in doing so?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoul94:
Hello Everyone ! My first post on XDA-developers forum , so Yes! I'm a noob as the registration video showed me .

So The Question is : Topic Title :D

Short Description :

I have Android 2.1 ( Official Update form HTC ) on my Hero , and I want to root it , but I'm not sure what ROM should I use . From my previous experience , CM was very good on my HTC Click / Tattoo , but in Hero I seen ( read ) that it's kind of slow .

There are lots of ROM's for Hero and I'm searching for one that meets up this conditions :

Extended Battery Life ( Currently ~ 2 Days , but if i use Wi-Fi or play games it drains very fast )

Good Call Reception ( just like it's now )

And the main criteria : since the ARM will be at ~760 mHZ ( i think ) , to be FAST .

I want to install APP2SD , and i'm not looking for eye-taking theme's , I want PERFORMANCE .

So please tell me your experience with this ROM's . Thank You in advance :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
Vanilla Eclair is nice, though I don't get as good battery as with CM7 ;) But if you overclock all the way to 760 you won't get two days use out of it, I use 672 and get one day with much use
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoul94:
So , here I'm back again with my Hero running elelinux ( the one updated on 22.03.2012 ) and I have some questions .

What's the medium battery life you get on this ROM ?

* for me the battery life is ok , but when I surf the internet on Mobile Data ( 2G Only selected ) the battery drains so fast , let's say something like 1 % every 1 ( maybe 2 ) minutes .

Also , I have problems with the Home Screen .

* because 2.3.7 doesn't have a Digital Clock Widget I have installed one from the market ( Retro Clock ) , it happens after exiting a " hungry " resource app , the Homescreen remains empty and i have to wait a bunch of seconds to re - appear . Any fix ?

Not really a problem , just not used to it

* if I plug in my headphone's ( with DSP Manager On ) the audio is great :cool: but after the song finishes the headphones make a noisy sound for 1 - 3 seconds , any fix for that ?

Also any tested speed improvement's ( without to much battery impact ) will be useful . Awaiting responses . Thank You , Raoul .
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeatsByMessi:
i find that theres a battery drain on all cm based gingerbread roms when your actually using the phone. but i have no idea what causes is. maybe someone could shed some light on that

about your homescreen resetting. go into settings, then click on cyanogenmod/advanced settings (can't remember what its called on that rom), then click on performance, then check the lock home in memory option

hope that helps :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoul94:
Thank you for the quick response , I locked the home , no problem so far .

Another problem , i forgot to mention :

* From time to time , my screen acts like I am clicking something , but doesn't enter that app or function , it only randomly appears like clicking but it doesn't do anything , maybe scrolling without me doing so .

Any advice ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
I have no idea. I pretty much get the same batterylife on every rom, it just manages a day ;) But LeWa for example seems to have a bug which drains battery like crazy :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ras.mastav:
Try that:

1.Decked X :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276544

Decked X is clear AOSP Rom (clear Android GB without everything what you can find in Sense Roms).

2.Some apk for OC (ex. Antutu CPU Master). In options change frequency for Screen-off for something like ~250-350 MHz (other for different kernels).

I haven't more ideas for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mljjlm:
My screen started clicking stuff on its own, and I had to get the screen replaced, maybe it's the same problem?
[Continuum General] Bierce22:
well i was an idiot when i was installing a new linux distro and i kind of deleted the parition windows 7 was on so i cant boot windows or even get into my oem recovery unless i pay 15$ for hp to ship a cd. so if yall need any help on the linux side feel free to ask me any questions im usually hanging out in the linuxdistrocommunity irc.

on a side note i couldnt have picked a better linux distro to get stuck on because pinguyos is amazing they went total try hard and thought of everything you would possibly need in order to stay of off windows lol
[Continuum General] an-dru:
Haha I've done this and my brother did this when we finally decided to make the jump to ubuntu.... I had xp he had Windows 7.... I've been SOL trying to get it back on mine but ill tell you this.... If you can find an ISO for the Windows 7 disc you can make your own recovery discs and use the product key on your computer to make everything "legal" you then have to figure out the drivers for all the hardware but a tad bit more googling fixes that right up! It made for a really nice dualboot for my bro! I'll link up a you tube video he made in a bit :) there is still hope for your win7!
[Continuum General] Bierce22:
to much trouble for what its worth id rather stay on pinguy lol

Hi Friends,

Sorry for my badly English.

After a subtle and unfortunate fall, my Nexus Galaxy had its screen broken.

My unit was purchased in the U.S., however I do not have the invoice. And I live in Brazil.

Does Samsung provide warranty support?

I'm scared because the fall was simple, from a height of 1 meter. Do not believe the product is so fragile.

Thanks for attention friends,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viridis Draco:
i'm sad to tell you mate that your fear is correct, no warranty for any "caused damage" (fall damage, liquids, etc)

sorry dude

If you want this ebay seller have the screen replacement.

i'm with codename android 1.5.5 and it works great, it was also working in 1.4.0.

I was really amazed since many devices produced still uses ARMv6.

Porting ICS, CM9, and MIUI4 with the help of official drivers can speed up and gain true HWA (hardware acceleration)

http://www.groubal.com/ics-drivers-compiled-for-armv6-from-qualcomm/#signatures

PLS. go there and sign for the campaign of these drivers.

ARMv7 has been provided with these. so also pls help the ARMv6 campaign

Galaxy Y has ARMv6 :)

thanks and regards,

I think our device has Broadcomm
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
broadcom is the chipset while arm6 is the processor. please don't get confused by this kind of information :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Porobu:
Those drivers are for qualcomm armv6 processors but our device uses broadcom bcm21553
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
to make it clear...broadcom is a vendor name. bcm21533 is the chipset series number used in our device. while armv6 is the processor. qualcom and broadcom is sure different vendor but they use same processor in some of their product. thats why some of the source code used in armv6 qualcom could be usefull for developing our device either. I hope this info could be helpfull :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rohit589769:

and i signed the petiton pls all SGY uysers it could be helpfull for use to in some way or the other....
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] musashihatred:

Hi

I am posting the scripts and tools i am using in my galaxy-y

this tool can produce a kernelUpdate.zip which can be used in recovery mode to flash new kernel in the device from the bare kernel 'zImage' produced from kernel compiling

This will automatically create boot.img and make a 'update.zip' like package from it

Instructions:

*Extract the zip

*place your zImage in the folder

*just run the file file "mkKernelUpdate.sh"

If any error occurs look in to the scriptss.......

I hope this will be help full to you all

-Thanks.....
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] emjimadhu:
Wow this is great... Thanks man...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mai77:
wow ! pretty awesome. you mean those update.zip can be run from stock Android system recov rather than CWM. makes it a bit simpler for some dudes ...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] zeusseuz:
just to clarify this is different from faqbly script right?

this one can be used on stock recovery?

can anyone verify?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Shane:
Its nice man
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mai77:
ya different ball game altogether !
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] harish2704:
Let me clarify....

By the word "recovery mode" I mean the recovery mode we see when pressing 'Vol+' + power +home at boot time FOR A FRESH GALAXY-Y Hand set

I never used other recovery modes

I use this method to flash kernel from my ubuntu linux

Any one knows any othe alternatives to odin????

Not heimdal its not suppoted for our device
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mai77:
well an alternative to odin is dd, when used after bmlunlock

flashing comes down to dd if= of= when unlocked.

no need for PC & cable ...

CWM is an improved recovery mode with better scripts and stuff. in merruks kernel, when in recov, you have root shell access. does add flexibility ...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mai77:
also Heimdall recently expanded it's list of supported devices.

it's Windows "zadig" libUSB driver works with SGY too

the amount of work required to get Heimdall working on SGY should be limited.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] harish2704:
You mean Heimdall now supports SGY?????

Have you tested with linux??
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mai77:
Heimdall does not support SGY yet.

but the libUSB 'zadig' drivers work with the SGY (in Windows)

this reduces the effort it takes to get SGY supported by Heimdall
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] mai77:
success report ?

essentially, make boot image is run

./mkbootimg --kernel ${cwd}/zImage --ramdisk ${cwd}/original_boot.img-ramdisk.gz --base 0x81600000 --kernelMD5 ${kernMd5} -o boot.img

(...)

java -classpath testsign.jar testsign foo.zip KernelUpdate.zip

(...)

mv KernelUpdate.zip KernelUpdate_${tstamp}.zip

so any changes in kernel source or ramdisk init.rc or whatever gives you the ready made boot.img flasher :cool::cool::cool:

seemingly the script is fully working on SGY. any reports ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ron G:
if your making themed rom and your rom based on cm7 then yo can use this

persist.sys.themeId=

persist.sys.themePackageName=

build.prop tweak if you just copy and paste this line on end of build.prop and add name of your theme that for your rom example

persist.sys.themeId=Cyanbread

persist.sys.themePackageName=com.tmobile.theme.Cyanbread

but make sure this theme on system/app folder if not then it will not work

and if you are thinking to port rom on your device then you can find many guide to port roms on xda and google

What is a kang?
[Kindle Fire General] YaKillaCJ:
A kang is a rom who uses its source from another project and build upon it. Most the time to personalize it (only add to the original code) and other times to eventually improve (go back and change code) on the original work like CyanogenMod does.

Example.

Google made Android Open Source Project.

CyanogenMod is a Kang of Original Android.

MIUI is a Kang of CyanogenMod.
[Kindle Fire General] JoshuaLintag:
Thanks.

So how do I kang? (Without knowledge of android development)
[Kindle Fire General] smirkis:
setup build env

get a coffee

pull source by syncing with sbloods tree

make ur changes to the source

get a coffee, build. enjoy coffee

read sbloods rom/source thread.
[Kindle Fire General] Regionativo:
But doing all of that requires knowledge of Android Development... :) (except the coffee part)
[Kindle Fire General] rockstarar:
you need at least basic knowledge.

well another option is downloading the Rom and just removing and adding files. read so you don't delete something important though

--sent from my glacier.
[Kindle Fire General] shravbits:
Or just use Cyanogen Compiler...

Easy way to make a CM Kang

[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
If I would know the partition information I could at least know, if you can flash it or not... get terminsl emulator, type "su" without "" then "mount" without "" again and look for /data and anything like mmcblk0p9

And /system, /cache and /dalvik.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spit85:
Not with SEUS or OTA from Sony Ericsson, it wil brick your phone. But you can flash the official whit flashtool, when ICS official comes for the arc
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spromper:
If you relock your bootloader you can update with SEUS again. Shouldn't cause any problems
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spit85:
But why unlock your bootloader if don't want to use costom ROMs of kernels? Whit unlocked bootloader and costom rom, or kernel, you can't update whit OTA or SEUS. And when you relock the bootloader you must first flash back to stock, or you will brick your phone to, when relocking your bootloader whit costom kernels.
