If you're bootloader is unlocked you might be able to flash a kernel that has a version of CWM with a "Fix Permissions" options.

If your BL is locked then you might have to re-flash system using Flashtool.

will that be useful? how do i access cwm?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
Spam the Volume Down button when the "SONY" logo appears while booting (wait till it "brightens" and then keep pressing the button).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devil_Spawn:
hmm, that hasnt seemed to fix it, sadly.

It seemed to boot up as if i was using the phone for the first time, but then still did not go to the home screen.

Can i use the install zip from sd card feature or something? is there some other way to repair the home.apk?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
Yes, if you can find a replacement home.apk as a flashable zip then you should be able to fix it.

Check the Apps section. There might be something there you can use. You can mount your SD card from CWM so will be able to get the zip flashed no problem.

Flash it and you should be good to go.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devil_Spawn:
Damn. i thought i had it fixed. I installed the JWs_back_to_stock_ICS_CWM.zip

File from that page. it booted up, and then got to the

Android is upgrading

Starting Applications

Page, but then froze on there for a good 10 minutes.

I have no idea what i've done :( - all i did was replace home.apk and systemUI.apk. Replacing home.apk worked fine, but replacing systemui did not work, and so i was missing the notification bar.

I tried to fix it by putting the files back how they were, but i think i forgot to set permissions.

Now when it boots up, it just displays the XPERIA load screen indefinitely. You can actually interact with the lock screen behind it, and access the emergency call screen, but unlocking the device does nothing but play the sound, you cant see it.

Is there anything else i can do? i really dont want to have to flash an entire new ROM
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
If it was me I'd use Flashtool to flash just the system, leaving user data intact. If that doesn't work then it's a full flash and wipe...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamalaggi:
Here a good tip if this happens.

Go to https://play.google.com/store and download any home launcher and it will automatcally install to your phone if it is swiched on. Then you can get access to home screen after reboot.

Worked for me :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartarse93:
You can get into recovery, so just mount system, adb shell into your phone and correct the permissions. Simples.

Also some versions have a 'fix permissions' option that you may find easier.

Other then that, go with the above and reflash your phone.

Hi guys!

I'm new to Desire S.

I had a SGSII before and a Nexus S.

Can anyone tell me which rom with sense is the most stable and any good ICS rom.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Desire S] djisgod:
endymon is the most stable sense 3.5 rom,all of the ics roms have no working camera for now untill we get a new kernal.
[HTC Desire S] 68olegna:
But there are non-Sense ICS roms with working camera, if that would interest you.
[HTC Desire S] Addicted2xda:
You may also try Virtuous ROMs.. they are quite stable and fast as well.. Also Bindroid is a good option, basically you need to try yourself..
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Endymion.
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
Endymion.
[HTC Desire S] Montague Fortiscue:
Virtuous
[HTC Desire S] Duke_Nuke:
Ice Cold Sandwich is an ics rom with a mostly working camera. Other than that, endymion is the best and most stable sense rom imo.
[HTC Desire S] searius:
ok thx everyone.

one question. for s-off i have seen 3-4 threads.

i have Hboot 2.00.0002 now.

which guide is the best for me?

thanks in advance!
[HTC Desire S] theguitarman94:
Just out of interest, why did you get the desire S if you had such powerful phones before hand? The nexus S isn't more powerful but the galaxy S II is much more powerful and a much better phone.

Hi folks.

I've got some time off from work so I can finally play a bit with my new Desire S. I have it for almost a month and didn't even change a thing :P

I've looked into the dev section and there's a ton of ROMS. Previously I had a Legend and the development there was way smaller then here.

Basically I'm looking for a good Sense ROM with some tweaks, OC support and good battery life. Any recommendations? :)

Also, I would like to know if anything goes wrong can I flash it without issues to stock with no signs of unlocking the bootloader etc?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I don't use it as I don't really like Sense, but you can't go wrong with Endymion as a ROM.
[HTC Desire S] cyRq:
So Endymion will be my furst try ;)

One question - is this normal on the Desire S, that you need to flash boot.img manualy on every ROM when unlocked via HTCdev?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yes, its as a result of using HTCDEV.

You can attempt to RELOCK, downgrade and then S-OFF using Revolutionary, which will mean that you don't need to do that boot flash separately, but, I'd suggest that you save that for next week, there are several guides that should help....but would suggest that you read them all first.
[HTC Desire S] Ballack94:
Which rom is better

Endimyon or Primodonna

I am not intersted in camera much

And rom has better battery life

Plzzs suggest ???

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
I don't think that's a fair comparison. Endymion is a stable rom, Primadonna is still "experimental".

A more correct comparison will be. Endymion vs Affinity, i for one use Affinity as a daily driver, but others like Endymion more.

Both of them are stable it's just a question of personal feeling(i think).
[HTC Desire S] HarryPotent:
Reaper 3.0 is a superb stable ROM too.

I still haven't tried endy yet because Reaper is so good
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I use Reaper and prefer it to Endy as I don't like Sense - but the OP specifically asked for a stable ROM with sense.
[HTC Desire S] HarryPotent:
Sorry my bad, in that case endy would be the best choice as it's heavy on sense.
[HTC Desire S] cyRq:
I'm pretty satisfied with Endy. It'sonly one day of usage, but it has everything I need.

I still got a lot of catching up to do. The Desire S is a lot more complex ;)

But in the meantime, can someone share his OC/UC settings? There are some governors that I see first time in my life. I know what conservative, interactive, ondemand etc. are but reaper, virtuos - no idea ;P

I Hope you made a full nandroid backup!

when your flashing a custom are you doing a full wipe from the recovery before flashing the custom Rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1an:
wrong section

A possible answer could be that your HTC Desire is still S-On instead of S-Off, you can redo your Root by restarting (www.Revolutionary.io) and choosse S-off when asked for as well as installing the accompanied Recovery.

[General Questions and Answers] Aleq:
I believe (based on the long silence on this topic) I'd say this has been rendered insignificant with new Androids. Dalvik Turbo has been presented at the time of old Dalvik (without JIT etc.) and it is targeting MIPS only.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gvelasquez85:
Hello guys, this is my first post in the forum, but I've been using CM for around 1 year... in the past with a Samsung Galaxy 5 and now with an Xperia Ray... I hope I can help out in many ways to the devs community.

I have some questions for you, as I'm a newbie with my Ray... I am reading and reading posts in XDA, and now I'm in a strange situation. I want to flash CM7 (hope CM9 soon) in my Ray, but since the Bootloader unlock allowed:NO message comes to my phone I feel very sad about it. I tried to boot into Fastboot, but the phone simply refuses to do it and only starts with the orange led and starts charging, but no Fastboot...

The first thing I tried was Root the Ray, and the I managed to do it with a simple tool (you can find the latest version here)

[Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit)] (can't post links yet)

Still my Bootloader is locked... so I think the CWM installation was impossible, later, I found this tool:

[SE Extreme Tweak Installer v1.8] (can't post links yet)

Then, I had installed CWM onto the Xperia Ray, without unlocking the Bootloader yet... (yes, it works at boot having the vol- key pressed as well) and yes, you can flash files (actually I modded some things on the original rom from CWM)...

The question is... Am I missing something to flash CM7/9??

Can I flash CM7/9 now??

Do you think this method will work for Xperia models??

Do you have any sugestions on this??

What if I don't unlock the bootloader and flash CM7/9??

My phone is operator locked, is this a problem to flash CM7/9??

If I flash the CM7/9 rom, will my phone be bricked??

My bootloader still says Bootloader unlock allowed: No :S. By the way, I do have a Xperia ST18a not a ST18i.

PD: I do not own any of those tools. I am only telling my method, so I you think this is a valuable information please says thanks to the developers above (and if you want, me too )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Knight47:
You have to unlock your boot loader .........then only you can flash cm or any other rom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gvelasquez85:
Any ideas on how to do it?.

I've tried the testpoint method, but no success... I simply can boot in fastboot. Does it matters if the phone is network locked?...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Your phone is sim locked. You have to get it unlocked so it can accept any sim 1st before you unlock bootloader. Then it will say Allowed yes
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gvelasquez85:
OK, so I will go to my operator and unlock it as well... they gave me the code, but it simply doesn't works, the said:

dial #987654321# and a menu will appear and you can enter the code there... NOTHING :confused: !!!

I'll talk to you guys when I have my phone unlocked...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gvelasquez85:
Solved!

Hi guys, after 25 days my operator finally unlocked my phone (it looks like they locked the phone with 5 wrong codes... and have to do the magic on the SE Support Service). Then, that was easy... not the unlock bootloader with the wire trick (took me more than I expected) but now everything is ok!

I'm a proud owner of a CM9 Xperia ray!... anyway, do you know if the Xperia Ray supports USB-OTG?

Any thoughts with HDMI? mini HDMI? or MHL interface on the Xperia Ray?

Please let me know if you think I can help out with something... or If you have questions just ask and I'll do my best...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] syin16:
The USB port on the ray is not MHL

if the USB port on Ray is not MHL, so we don't have any options to export the Ray screen to any display/TV?. Even with the dock?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] glennlevi:
First off I wanna ask what happened to the survey on the best rom? It was a pretty useful thread for people to check on to find out what rom would be best for their needs. Was that thread causing any conflict?

Now to my real question :

What can you guys suggest as the BEST Rom, Application or Tweak for improving SGY's battery life? I mean, at least sacrificing the LEAST amount of performance.

I just downloaded and installed a new rom, but the problem is (although its very nice, fast and all), it sucks out my battery so bad that its not even worth sacrificing battery for performance.

Can you guys give me something like -

What Rom, Apps (Battery Saver), Launcher, Widgets, Tweaks, etc, you are using and by how much your battery regulary lasts? (With regular usage of calls, messaging, browing the net, playing games and music, etc.)

Thanks a lot for your input guys.

:D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] leodasal2:
did you try freezing unwanted background services that were running on the custom rom that you were once on??

less background services = more battery life
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] glennlevi:
Already did. I went so far as to uninstall apps I didnt even use like Google Maps, Mail, etc.

Right now these are some of the things left in my cache:

Google back up transport

Google contacts sync

Software update

SyncmIDS

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfenyx:
Hi everyone,

I will need a piece of advice. Currently I have made my first app to help people get access to my icon packs (app is here: Icon Pack Manager). The app works more or less the way I want it but it has one flaw that bugs me: every time I need to update something (say, add a new pack) I have to "hard-code" it into the app and release a new version to the market. My question is: would it be possible to make the app get informations from a database or website and populate a ListView(?) and other elements "dynamically"?

The elements that would have to be grabbed from a website/database are only text and images (and links but those are like text, I imagine).

I think I would have to basically rewrite the whole app but as this was a learning experience for me, I'd welcome more learning. Only problem is, I don't really know where to start and what method to use to "automate" the populating of my app.

Whenever I try to play videos I get green diagonal lines through the picture. Running eyballers nightly from 4-26. I've tried MX player, Mobo player and the stock video player.

Very easy work around....

I had the same problem on my nook as well (handbrake mp4 movies)...drove me nuts on ICS until I stumbled on a solution that works for me. I now am running MX Video Player (free) from the market... go into settings, and under the decoder settings check the the "S/W Decoder" box. This technique also works with MoboPlayer (free) as well... change the settings file to default to "Soft-Decoding". That's it! Easy peasy lemon squeezy.... :)

yes, software decoding works fine, but will drain the battery like crazy. HW acceleration of videos saves your battery life, a lot, but is unfortunately not working on ICS at the moment.

[Nook Color General] Strouperman369:
The big issue there is that hardware accelerated video for ICS builds probably won't see support on the Nook Color without a 3.0 kernel and updated drivers and source codes. The unfortunate truth is that the NC is getting pretty old (for tech, you know) at this point, and the devs can only push it so far.

i bought SAMSUNG FOCUS FLASH(i677) which OS is Windows and just for AT&T from ebay, but it's locked.

think the matter has been occured that the seller had bought it with 2 yrs of contract plan and sold it to me just after he making contract...

i gather that i can buy UNLOCK CODE from ebay and that works, so I tried it from various sellers but no one said he has UNLOCK CODE.

Is that possibly happens?

OR, the device i've just bought is brand new and that hasn't been updated yet with FLASHING SOFTWARE which generates UNLOCK CODE?

do you think its better for me to keep waiting for that to be updated if it has not been updated?
