[LG Optimus 2x] miffo858:
Hi! I just installed Nova HD RC19-35 with the SuperNova RC1-R kernel and my phone is stuck in bootloop... The LG loggo shows up but then it turns off.

So i tried to install Horse Power 2x eXtreme ICS RC1-R instead and now my phone works fine! Except for som random BSOD...

But my question is, how do i get the SuperNova kernel to boot?
[LG Optimus 2x] axepted:
Try full wipe... Just backup your apps..
[LG Optimus 2x] mkchan:
wipe cache, data, dalvick.. also flash supernova kernel rc2... OP already made a thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
why does everyone say this? if you bothered to read the sequence of events in the log while your flashing any custom rom. they all "do that".

is there actually a point to doing it 2x?
[LG Optimus 2x] donkeyaner:
I also had some kind of problems with Supernove RC1, with RC2 no problem at all....
[HTC One X] klasan:
Hi everybody!

Which are the best general settings for the camera? I saw the comparison from cnet.asia and I was thinking that +1 in both saturation and contrast might be a good idea or maybe the photos looked all washed upp because the flash was always on as another user mentioned.

As i understand -2 sharpening is a go. Should the widescreen mode also be disabled or will it not affect the quality of the picture? Any other suggestions?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hizperion:
i was trying to follow this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285285) to unlock my sk17i. i'm pretty sure i did the right thing at first, but during "PROCESSING … REMOVE TESTPOINT NOW, THEN PRESS "READY"" part, i removed the USB instead of just the test point.

now the problem is nothing happens anymore after i click Ready (after connecting the test point) when i try to Patch SECMBoot.

i tried the RESTORE but it said 'nothing to restore'

is there any way to solve this? or maybe reset the process i abandoned before?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Well,does your phone still can be turn on?If no,use wotanserver,and try to unlock it again...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hizperion:
yes it can still be turn on. everything is still normal.

i have looked through wotanserver before posting this, but hesitated to use it. can i just unlock my phone using it and without installing their firmwares?

and it said
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hizperion:
done it.

instead of connecting testpoint to USB (which i did before), i connected test point to ground-negative connector of the battery.

now i have unlocked the device.

but sadly i used wotanserver and my phone is back to stock -_-"

thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] melander:
@hizperion

just a question sir, why are you trying to unlock bootloader?

if you have done it already thru test point that should be it.

this would allow you to use fastboot on your phone to install custom kernel.

flashing thru wotan would definitely lead to stock since that is what it does...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hizperion:
the unlocking thru test point at the first time didn't work, because i plugged the USB out during the process. so it kinda stuck at some point (it seems like its already unlocked, but actually not yet). i tried to flash using fastboot but nothing happened too.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] melander:
just check service menu.

if it states "bootloader unlocked : yes" then it is already unlocked.

if it states "bootloader unlock allowed :yes" then it is still locked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hizperion:
well in that case, it was still locked

but i couldn't unlocked it anymore by connecting the testpoint to USB

connecting the testpoint to ground of the battery solved it, as mentioned above
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpear96:
I won a motorola xoom from androidandme.com, and gave it to my mom for Christmas. And it still hasnt received the ICS update it was promised in Q2 2012, i know theres still time, i just really hope it gets it. But there is basically no xda love for this device D:, it only recently achieved root, and it appers to have no stock fastboot, and possibly a locked bootloader. This device is different from the normal xoom wifi, it is thiner, and probably has slightly different internals.

Just a couple questions, since this may have a locked bootloader, which means no CWM. Does anyone think this could get a bootstrap recovery? Similar to many moto phones like the Atrix 2,droid 3,razr etc?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
So I've done a lot of searching for this one, but I'm really not finding the answers I'm looking for.

I've got an AT&T R800AT locked bootloader with no intentions of unlocking at the moment. I'm trying to find the best stock ROMs that will work with my phone, but everything I find says r800x or r800i. Will either of those work with mine? I tried out the Darkforest ROM last time and it soft bricked my phone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloudShepherd:
Most roms aren't designed for our phones. Almost all are based off of stock 2.3.4. I had the same issues as you, I would suggest rooting and flashing generic 2.3.4 via flashtool. You will not regret it.

sent from my Xperia PLAY using Taptalk
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
I tried that and ran into an issue. Loved the 2.3.4, but I couldn't send or receive mms messages. It just kept saying to check my device's settings. Have you ran into that?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
You probably need to setup the correct apn for mms once you flashed. Roms for r800i will work with the r800at. I am using Darkforest 3.1.0 and really liking it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
I'll definitely have to try that one. I checked all my apn settings, and they were all correct. So I was stumped.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
Tried that one and got softbricked again. This thing just doesn't like roms apparently.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
What do you mean by soft bricked? What process did you do to install it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
Put it on my SD card and installed with cwm. Softbrick is when it will do nothing but hang on the Sony Ericsson screen
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Did you try flashing 3.1.0 or 3.0.5? I had issues going straight from stock AT&T build to darkforest. I ended up flashing to the generic 2.3.4 then to 3.0.5 then finally to 3.1.0.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
Tried 3.05. I figured that I need to flash to 2.3.4 then try it since I believe that's what it's based on. I'm on 2.3.4 right now and pretty satisfied with it. I'm mainly just trying to speed this phone up so my games don't lag as badly. I'll eventually have to unlock the bootloader and overclock.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
The past few days would have been the time to do that as omnius made it free for 4 days.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
Whaaaaat?! Oh well. I'm back to my same old problem with 2.3.4. Try to download the mms & internet settings and it says it can't and to go to the Sony Ericsson website from my PC to get the settings. And of course they aren't there. I put in my APN settings with no problem there, just mms says to check my settings.

Aah, there were a few additions there that I didn't have. Seen to be working now. Hard to tell without 3G, but at least I'm not getting the error message anymore. Many thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Why no 3g? you in a 3g dead zone?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
After we flash 2.3.4 can we flash custom roms from that? Or just sticking with generic 2.3.4 till later?

Thanks guys, read a little harder and saw

"r800i works for r800at"

Opens a whole new world to me, Thanks.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
Right now I'm sticking to my generic 2.3.4 because, honestly, I'm getting gun shy with ROMs on this phone. Already soft bricked 3 times, and backing up and resorting is getting old. All part of the game though.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
Just asked someone, apparently we can run anything that runs on an I or A.

So im going to try out doomkernel once I have some time to install it. I'll let you know what happens.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
My daughter works at Startec which does the customer support for AT&T and almost everyone who works there has a Verizon phone because the service coverage area is so much better. People bust on Big Red all the time, but at least you can use the services you are paying for.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
Really hard to argue with that. I carry AT&T because I prefer their selection of phones, and the employee discount helps a ton. I've carried them since 2007. We're supposed to have 3G within the next two months, and I have a tower less than a mile from my house. So that should rock my skull.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzraelsVoice:
Awesome, let me know what you come up with.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
Im now running DarkForest Advanced Stock Kernel.

Ive tried Darkforest ICS which I love, and ICS ++ Which... Not so much xD, flashed back to Darkforest ICS.

Im probably going to try JokaWild, seems like alot of positive words about it, But so far I prefer DFICS.

If you want to do it yourself its pretty easy, just install the official ICS beta, then install either Darkforest Kernel or Advanced Stock, Then install whichever ICS rom you wish.

(Since you are also on r800at, just need to look for roms that have GSM)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
He has a locked bootloader. Can't install ics beta or any of those roms.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
Daw, whoops. Failure to read. Lol.

You can try GamerBread. Which is based on 2.3.4 I believe, uses stock kernel.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haadkoe:
We've got a stock HTC Panache which has some issues. Throughout the day the phone will lose it's connection to the home network (1700Mhz AWS, Wind/Mobilicity, been with both) even though there is good reception, and it will attempt to roam on the 850/1900Mhz Rogers/Fido network.

Since Wind and Mobilicity have roaming within their home zone disabled, the phone is unable to roam, and "Limited Service" is displayed on the handset. Emergency Calls Only, in other words.

A while later, the phone will reconnect to it's home carrier and all is well for a while.

Setting the phone to WCDMA Only has no effect.

Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this issue, and if there is any known way to resolve it. If so, I'm game.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
You could root, get S-Off and flash a different radio. It might help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haadkoe:
I could, and it might... but if I kill my gf's phone in the process she will be less than pleased. Since this particular handset has the supposedly bad emmc I figured I'd ask around and see if anyone has been able to resolve the issue before I roll the dice. :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsunggizmo:
i know that this is a rather foolish question.but i am 13 years old and i really want an answer.this is the only place i think to find an answer.

i know that our android phone has a specified amount of internal storage.part of it is for storing apk,datas etc.another part is for rom image and all all those stuff.what i want to know is when i am installing a new rom,is it actually overwritting the existing rom.or is it installed alongside it.cause my phone is getting slower each time i install a new custom rom in my htc hero.it has 600 mhz processor.but even angry birds lag in my phone but it works smooth on my nokia 5233 xpress music touch phone.both these games are are of similar size and have same graphics quality.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstylazz:
No the previous rom is over written or in most cases deleted when you carry out the full wipe/delete.

The hero is an old phone and as time goes on and software evolves ect.. it also become larger in size in most cases, if you are after speed, keep away from sense roms, and generally the older the rom the better in terms of performance/free space ect..

I used to own a hero and "eleinux" (i think his name is) had a good rom called speedmachine which was a pretty good rom for the hero while still having some ports from cyanogen, if you really want a sense rom the maybe look up villainrom as they are pretty good at gutting out all the crap within sense. You could always try over-clock your CPU as-well with setCPU or if you have a cyanogen based rom there is a function within there that will allow you to over-clock.

Other than that the hero is a very dated phone, might be time to consider a new one or newer one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
no. your internal memory never ever gets reduced. if u are rooted. u can use apps like setcpu to increase speed by overclocking(at the cost of lil battery life)

you can virtually increase yout internal memory by partition ur sdcard with ext4,3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
...and I thought my phone was old.

Your phone is outdated, it will slow down with age. Be sure to fully wipe when flashing roms. At the minimum, wipe caches. If you haven't in a while, you should wipe everything before flashing your next rom. Really you should do a full wipe with each rom flash unless flashing an update.

Try out the V6 Supercharger script for a bit more speed, that should help some. You can buy used phones for less than $50 that are better than yours, like the Evo 4G.

I've heard good things about villianrom as well, so I did some searching for you and found this link

hope it helps, it's very important to do a full wipe of your phone before you install new roms.
[HTC One X] mp3elv:
Hi, guys, i'm from Peru, and trying to acquire a HTC One X, but, after talking to 2 local sellers of it, (who will have it in stock, in a pretty shrink wrapped way between thursday to saturday of the next week) i'm confused, one of them, which offers the cheapest price tells me that the "latinamerican" version, uses normal SIM, no microsims, the other tells me that they dont know such thing, but then they bring the american and european version (aka global one?) so i dont know what to believe or if one of them is trying to scam me.

I tried to talk to HTC, given that they have local phones all around latinamerica, but contact wasnt possible, i never reached someone to ask on the phone only the voice system, i tried to call to the american hotline, and it put me on a loop, waiting, listening to music, also all reviews i've seen suggest it uses microSIM, so anyone over here knows for a fact if there's indeed a latinamerican version and if so, what kind of microSIM uses?, any way to check that the device is not counterfeited or pirated? seals, glowing stuff, serials etc.

I know that there are HTC One S knock offs, made in china, using mediatech (or something) processors, to fool around people, and it doesnt really help that the htc one x, comes with a tegra 3 quad core and a snap dragon dual core in other places, so it could be that htc decided to use another processor for latinamerica, but i have no way to know.

I'd love if any latinamerican here, who bought it locally (and not smuggled thru the customs) had the SIM version?.
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
HTC always said the device used microsim, also all the websites on the internet report this. I doubt there is something as a "normalsim version". The fact that the guy who is telling you this also offers a cheaper version makes me wonder if it isn't some kind of scam.

I'd play safe and buy the normal verson (with micro-sim)

has this phone got the weather animation?i cant get the rain to go on screen :mad:

It is off by default. You need to remove the clock&weather widget and re-add, there you can choose to shown full weather animation.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
just stick it out the window for a bit...you'll notice it :D

You don't have to remove it. You just drag the widget to the top right and pick the correct settings.

just add your city manually (don't use location) and on the next screen you can enable/disable full screen animations

Anyone else have the problem of not being able to receive text messages while roaming? I'm in an area where I am constantly switching back and forth between not-roaming and roaming and I only seem to get texts when I am on T-mobile's towers. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Did you select in messaging app settings to receive messages while roaming?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
Yes I did. Isn't that only for mms and not SMS though? The only roaming setting is under the mms section
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kevint27:
Yes, as far as I know, it's only for MMS, because you are supposed to receive SMS anytime when you have a network.

1- Did you flash a new rom recently? If so, I'd suggest you to reflash the rom and try again.

2- You could try to go under your carrier settings and choose manually your carrier.

3- If it doesn't work, contact your carrier's technical support to see if it could be something that is disabled in your account regarding roaming.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
I have flashed most of the roms for this phone and it seems to do it regardless of the rom. What are the carrier settings that you are talking about?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kevint27:
Under Wireless & network settings > Mobile network settings > Network operators. You could try to play with these settings (mobile network settings) to see if it works one way or another. Now, if you tried several roms and it still doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem or a network problem (T-Mobile). I would try to fix it with the settings first, and if the problem persists, call tech support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
Ok, I have played with those settings. I just wasn't sure which ones you were talking about originally. The kicker is I'm in an area (Orono, ME) where I am constantly switching between T-mobile and USA Unicel (roaming) and if I set those Network Operator settings to just T-mobile then I get service in certain areas and then nothing in others. I guess I'll just have to try customer support unless someone can come up with another possible solution.
