[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loccy:
So I cut my Android flashing teeth on the original HTC Magic, then to a Desire and Galaxy Tabs on the tablet front. Even cooked a few roms back in the Magic days (although was little more than mashing bits into an update.zip if I'm honest)

Anyway, I'm used to the scenario where, once you've got a viable recovery, you can thenceforth flash and backup/restore whatever you want without any need to plug the thing into a computer and do any messy fastboot stuff. I can't find a clear indication, but the vibe I'm getting is that in Sonyland one must always flash the boot.img of a new rom before going into recovery to install a new update.zip. is this right, or am I taking instructions designed for first timers too literally?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmorD:
When you flash your first rom, let's say CM9, you will need to install FXP's CM9 boot.img(AKA kernel). Then if you wanna update your CM9 rom(IE. From Nightly 1 to nightly 2), you can use the same boot.img. BUT, if you want to flash stock based rom, like Arconium ICS, you will need stock kernel(Sony stock kernel, DoomKernel), if you want to flash stock based GB rom, you'll need stock based Gingerbread kernel(DoomKernel for GB f.ex).

When you go to the rom's thread, the developer always tells what kernel to use. If you have one of the listed kernels, you're good to go, just flash the rom itself, and no need to flash kernel again.

I hope I was clear enough :cool:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonicHawk:
No, that's a valid question. I don't recall the explanation (if any) but recovery on Sony's phones can't modify the kernel for some reason.

While on other phones like your old htc, and even most samsung phones, it is possible to update the kernel from recovery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g2tegg:
I have been offered a straight up trade for my Razr for a Amaze 4G. Both phones are running gingerbread, but I am curious if anyone has used the Sense UI and liked it? Also the HSPA+ is very tempting.

To be honest this is my second Android phone, both being Motorola. I would like to try something different, just dont know too much about HTC. Any opinions would be appreciated!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cmraymond:
Is the amaze being offered a Tmobile phone? I just switched to Verizon from Tmobile. On my Maxx I've reached 24 mbs down on LTE. In a good signal area with Tmobile The most i ever saw on my mytouch 4g slide was 6mbs down, the average was more like 3.5 down. I had a phone capable 14 mbs down. I wouldnt trade if i were you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g2tegg:
Im in Canada and have the XT910. So only HSPA. The Amaze has HSPA+. Of course LTE would be better, but out cell network is like our army. Slightly outdated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RyanTX:
If you want to do modifications to your phone like kernels and ROMs then HTC is the place to be.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g2tegg:
True. But gathering from what I read, there is no ETA for ICS, unlike our current Razr's .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RyanTX:
Do we actually have an ETA?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
Used both and i can honestly say that razr wins hands down in every aspect except camera.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
Canada has an army?

Do their cannons shoot those little maple leaf candies and clever little maple-leaf-shaped 'Thank you for being our enemy today!' notes? Can you aim the candy guns at my house? I love those things.

;)

Seriously, do you travel much? If you travel more than 10% of the time, to cities with LTE service, you should stick with the Razr. Otherhow, you're better off on the HTC side of the force, IMO.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g2tegg:
I dont even think we have a canon. We do have a diaper though. A large on at that being the States. Oh and out here we use pellet guns and sling shots. True story. But we have free health care, right?

And no I dont travel all that much. And I have the XT910 which from what I understand doesnt have LTE anyways. Regardless, I think I might get a Nexus. Slightly better processor, but tons of support from the Devs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
I traded the Nexus for the Razr when I failed to get ANY bars (voice OR data) unless I was within sight of a cell tower. Verizon didn't even charge me for the exchange because they were getting so many radio problem reports/trades. This was at the beginning of March.

The Nexus is The Best if you want mods, but only the original iPhone4 gets worse reception.

I considered cracking it open and putting a custom antenna in it, I wanted it to work that bad.

Cheers from Diaperlandistan!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Littlewhat:
Why doesn't the latest release candidate for 7.2 show up as a loadable ROM update from my premium Rom Manager of CWM?

I know I can side load from SD but is there a reason that CWM doesn't recognize the updated ROM?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Depends on what you are running now. If a nightly, it won't see RC's. If a stable, it won't see RC'S. It will only show you RC's if you are running an RC.

[HTC Wildfire S] ZeleEG:
Guys, I don't know what's the problem, I'm running .sense and Google Play app is running to slow, i need to wait for it to load and browse pages for days, like I'm having 10kbps dial-up, i have a 6mb DSL connection and I think it should run 100x faster than now, and also I'm experiencing downloading from Google Play online, sometimes it won't download to my phone, when i click download, my phone says that Google Play just crashed, I'm really getting annoyed by this
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
Must be an issue with the Rom and or apps you have installed.

I've had no issues with play store on any Rom I've used, and I've used a lot, but have never installed .sense
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Marvel or Marvelc? I'm guessing Marvel, because Marvelc bootloops on .sense, but some people have been able to get it to work I think.

Anyway, how long have you been running .sense? Has this been occurring the whole time using .sense or only for awhile?
[HTC Wildfire S] davidang:

may be it not the problem wid google store......google sloved all the issues wid android market like download struck on 0% and slow browsing of apps......so i recommend clear cache and data of the app......and also oncedownloading try wid wifi:D
[HTC Wildfire S] MoneyFist:
Sorry late reply.

But I was plagued by slow play store installs over 4 different roms.

I found out that them roms were using either SmartAss of SmartAssV2. I switched to "on demand" and all now appears to be fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TLS2000:

I went from having a dead battery by the time I was finished work with almost zero use to having 80% with minor use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OFWGKTADGAF:
Where can I install it for my i727r? I'm using super lite 5.0 with uclac4. (5 fcs like crazy)

And my battery is terrible. Dead by 4 pm every day
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
u must either a) have really bad signal or b) are syncing a lot of background data (email etc...), cuz I'm getting 24 hours+ with 3 hours onscreen time with superlite 5.1.

That being said seanscreamz new sky ics - the real thing is based off ucld2, which is the new base. Check the dev section
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PsyCl0ne:
I am using team perfection the latest release. It's not too bad I can use my phone and actually use my phone for about 10 hours. I've never actually tried to see how much battery up time I have had for a while but I can update later today.

One thing though is with any ICS release it seems like we will have issues with callerid. It might be different with seanscream's newest release with that new radio but I haven't had time to flash it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rezadue:
With respect to the ICS ROMS people have been flashing on their 727R's , how buggy are they? How often do you get FC's ? Does your phone ever lock up? Freeze?

I had icscrewd 2.0.1 installed, and decided to flash the ICS phone bricker but when i tried it said instalation aborted, so i thought it was an error with the .zip so i tried to install the ICS shostock and didn't work either. then i realized i couldn't flash any rom, not even the icscrewd i already had, and when i try to restore my nandroid backup it gives an error with the md5, so I don't know what to do, what do u recommend me? how can i update my CMW version? thanks in advance

Solution: just used ubuntu to transfer the files to my phone instwad of windows, also downloading the files directly to the phone should work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Sorry was going to get to your PM but busy at work. :o

Can you try flashing this?

http://www.mediafire.com/?vt1eap1kp5rvqeh

If that doesn't work, use Mobile Odin and flash the zImage only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcabia:
I solved the issue

Thanks for your suggestion, and your quick response. already solved the issue... apparently when i transfered the files from my pc, the .zip was getting corrupted (i dont know why), and that happened wirh every rom and kernel i tried to flash with cwm so i transfered the files using ubuntu and worked perfectly, i guess downloading the .zip directly from the phone should also work. And the issue with the nandroid backup was because i changed the name of the bsckup so i used adb to fix the md5 and worked (saw that in another post). Great rom btw, im using it right now, ill flash later the theme and the toggles cus i hate the green samsung toggles xD. Keep up the awesome work you're doing, its truly appreciated :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
You can change the name of the backup, if not it would be hell to organize them. :p

Just change the folder which has the date.

Hello,

I had a problem with my Motorola Xoom WiFi.

My girlfriend was playing with my tablet and trying to guess my login pattern .. she tried it too many time until xoom shows:Too many pattern attempts!

Unfortunately sign in via Google account did not worked and WiFi network was turned off.

So I am looking for way how to unlock it without root access or hard reset>> is that possible ?:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDsn:
Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp

it has been a day waiting !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Since Google Sign in didn't work and you don't have root I belive the only thing you can do is hard reset.Or try turning it off (by draining its battery if you don't have another way) and then try to unlock it or Google Sign in.If that fails then proceed to factory reset.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDsn:
I don't think that emptying battery is a good idea

it tooks 10h while "on play" so what do u think the time that may took when it's just in black screen and no wifi is working?!

I really need a professional or just a simpler way>>

thanks

I think I'll give the battery a chance to be empty and try again!

unless I got a new idea

no any benefit from emptying battery !!

I don't want to hard rest it !

[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Version RC1 based on Wind 1.46.1500.3.

This ROM is designed for Wind variant only, READ EVERYTHING before flashing

I worked very hard to write the update.zip script and modifing the stock ROM to do this as flawless as possible. I am also providing my own direct mirrors at my own expenses

Everything is done practically from scratch, so any donations will be appreciated!

Boot partition (kernel) will not be touched or included in this ROM, so Wind users can safely flash away!

Features:

------------------------------------------------------------

deodexed

zipaligned on boot

1% battery steps notification icon

overscroll glow (white)

disabled capacitive button lights

allows it to go to mininal brightness when dark enough (autobrightness)

minimum clock speed to 192MHz from stock 384MHz to save battery

my build.prop tweaks

blocked ads

DSP Manager

removed some bloat

removed Wind's bootanimation (that was ugly as hell....)

disable ext4 journaling

sd cache to 2048 to improve speed

updated crap loads of system apps

I am probably missing a few more, can't remember all

Planned Features:

------------------------------------------------------------

30 Media Steps (done)

Transparent Scrollbars so it does not look so "old" (done)

CRT off animation (done, thanks to heyjoe66!)

Webkit text reflow disabled by default (looking into this)

Fix garbled camera preview and video playback (looking into this)

* done means will be added to next release

Bugs:

------------------------------------------------------------

- Mail cannot start and FC every time due to some hard coded lines in Mail.apk, it requires an odexed framework. FIXED IN RC2

- If you are coming from another custom ROM, you must nand restore to original or RUU to global. Otherwise, you will get codec issues for lines in videos and camera previews.

Install instructions:

------------------------------------------------------------

Unlock bootloader

Install TWRP recovery

Nand backup (boot, system)

Flash Clear Wind zip

Reboot

If you are coming from another custom ROM:

Use hasoon2000's toolkit and install original Wind's kernel or flash RUU

Install TWRP recovery

Nand backup (boot, system)

Flash Clear Wind zip

Reboot

Nice

Seems Legit. Im in need for the Wind stock ruu and cant find it but this seems like it would work
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
I will be deploying through fastboot, no need to flash custom recovery theoretically. And the deployment only flashes the system partition, I also have a stock unmodified version of system(not even rooted) so you can always go back to stock if necessary.

So all you need is unlocked bootloader, but you can always relock it after you reflash my stock system.img through fastboot
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
I'm willing to beta test it :D

(Side note: I'm in the need of the stock wind rom, hope you have it :) )
[HTC Amaze 4G] krook6023:
You can find the most recent WIND/GlobaLive RUU's and most others in my public Dev-Host folder (linked below). I uploaded them here because if was very hard to get an open download slot at FileFactory.com (used by Football & TMartin) Dev-Host has been reliable me (I donated a little $$ to them as well, so we can all have easy access to these files).

***I got all of these RUU's from

except Globalive 1.46.1500.3 which is from

:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Turns out, you can't use fastboot to flash images that big.... I am not sure how RUU could. I searched it up, seems like a lot of RUU's are having the same issues.

You will need to use custom recovery, for this one, I chose TWRP. (might work with CWM)

It is in your best interest to do a nand backup for now with your stock unmodified system because I never tried RUU if it can fully recover. I can provide the stock recovery image later so you can restore using custom recovery and flash the original recovery image via fastboot then relock, no need RUU at this point.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
You flash RUUs by renaming it to P85IMG.ZIP (correct me if I'm wrong) have it on your sdcard (don't remember if Internal or external) then boot into HBoot. It will find the file and flash it. Not sure if you must relock your bootloader or not.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Yeah, I am aware of the process, but it is just that i found some other HTC devices getting the errors. I am not sure how RUU handles the process, even renaming it to "P85IMG.ZIP" might end up extracting the img files inside, one of them being system.img.

for the global RUU's, they come in exe format, I think it walks you through the process to restore it, but I never did.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Have you tried adb commands?

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Pretty sure within recovery, I can adb shell and use dd to copy it over, but it will require 1.5GB + on the sdcard for the uncompressed system.img. so yeah, that is why i made the update zip instead, easier for people to use. If they are required to use custom recovery, might aswell make it easy for them

[HTC Amaze 4G] Vadimus_ca:
No camera (lines instead of live image), no WiFi (error), no Exchange Sync (force close).

Wiped /data - still no success.

What's wrong? What kernel do I need?
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Because you are using a Wind variant, and you have installed a custom ROM with custom kernel not supported by Wind variant. you need to use the toolkit to flash Wind's kernel and flash Clear Wind again
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vadimus_ca:
Can you point out where can I find a stock 1.46.1500.3 kernel?

BTW I flashed [Kernel]Amaze[2.6.35.13](v009)OC~1.73/JRCU/UV/CIFS+UTF-8/Power Saving[Mar-13] kernel now.

WiFi is now working, but still no camera/Exchange.

Are you sure Exchange force close can be kernel-related?
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Faux's kernel has different video codec handling, your camera or any other video playback in youtube etc in horizontal will look like that until you install the Wind's kernel. You will need toolkit version 3.1, not 3.0 on xda. you can find it on android-dev.us

I am getting FC's on the Mail app too, I think it is the result of deodexed framework. I see lots of other ROMs are having the same issues logged in thedebug monitor. Anything else FC's?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vadimus_ca:
No other FC so far.

Just flashed stock kernel. No go, still lines in camera.

Wiped data, system, cache.

Trying to reinstall the rom.

UPD

Performed a clean reinstall. Epic fail.
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
Same here, getting lines in the camera. Everything else works fine (besides mail FC)
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Which ROM are you guys coming from? Does the camera work in other ROMs? If so, which one? Did you flash any other kernels? Would one of you that has the issue, install RUU from this post here. Once done, install TWRP and install my zip. Let me know if it helps
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vadimus_ca:
From One Good ROM v3.

Reinstalled it back - voila, camera's working and no more FC in Mail.

BTW FC in Mail is not a once for a while issue - it dies immediately after started.
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Even after all wiped, camera still no go?

Camera works again when you reinstalled One Good RROM V3? T or C version?

Mail works in One Good ROM because it is reodexed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vadimus_ca:
Yes

C version.

If Mail app isn't working in your ROM it's worth mentioning this issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
I'm coming from Energy ROM, with a full wipe. Flashed Stock Canadian kernel from toolkit.
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Hummm... I think custom kernel might have broken something or changed something in other partitions. RUU might be the only way to have camera fixed

I have only realized that mail will only work in odexed ROMs, I will add it to bugs section
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ashcunak:
Which mail is it that isnt working, gmail client or the android pop/smtp mail client?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vadimus_ca:
HTC Sense-specific Mail app.

Non-gmail one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
I fixed this problem. I will have RC2 released within 48 hours because I am adding more optimizations
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vadimus_ca:

Any ideas about camera lines?
