[HTC Sensation XL] Sensation_NZ:
Hi

I am new to this forum, however have previously had Samsung devices and never had any issue with CWM. I have a X715b (obtained via Vodafone NZ) which i recently updated to the Stock VNZ ICS ROM. After getting bored with the stock ROM I decided to look at custom ROMs. I want to install Insanely Cool ROM so went about finding the required steps.

After finally finding an updated root tool which would work for the ICS stock ROM I have now rooted and unlocked the bootloader. Here is where I get stuck.

I have HBOOT 1.28.0003 and when I flash the CWM recovery it all seems to flash fine, however after reboot when I try to access recovery I either get stuck on a white HTC screen (CWM Recovery 5.8.3.1) or it seems to keep the screen lit after the HTC screen and then eventually turns off (CWM 5.0.2.7)

Is there another recovery image I can try or do I need to update the bootloader in some other way?

Device: Sensation XL (X715b)

HBOOT-1.28.0003

RADIO-3831.15.00.20_M

Any help most appreciated

Amon ra is a different recovery. First time I flashed my old desire it kept getting stuck in a bootloop so I flashed amon ra and then cwm over the top and that solved my problem then..

Worth a look I guess. Hope it helps.
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
There is no Amon Ra for the SXL as far as i know.
[HTC Sensation XL] Chris_Ord:
I wasn't sure. It was ages ago when I used it on my desire.

But as for as far as you know.. He can easily Google around and see if there is.

Any help is better than no help isn't it?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
I wasnt trying to show contempt for your retort mate. I was just offering what information on the subject i knew. Just like you was. :)
[HTC Sensation XL] Sensation_NZ:
Thanks for the thought but Amon Ra is old and not for newer devices, any other ideas?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
Do you know how to use adb? Try using the "adb reboot recovery" command. If not you can always try reflashing recovery.
[HTC Sensation XL] Sensation_NZ:
Thanks for the reply

Just tried it again (Flash and adb reboot via unix) and much like attempting the install from SD within the clockwork mod app it loads the HTC splash screen and then just appears to turn off but is frozen so I have to remove the battery to reboot it.

I also just tried flashing the chinese boot.img and then it won't boot at all so had to flash cool sense boot.img which then works fine.

I also found a development touch cwm v 5.8.0.9 and that just freezes
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
are you using the CWM from rom manager?? don't use that, use the modded one by paul o'brien here

If all else fails, flash a stock ruu, that will restore stock recovery, then try flashing a custom one again.
[HTC Sensation XL] Sensation_NZ:
Thanks again, will try flashing a stock ROM. I have tried both (ROM Manager and via Fastboot) and neither has worked.

Will let you know how I go
[HTC Sensation XL] Sensation_NZ:
Unfortunately I have not been able to find a ruu stock Rom for cid vodap022 and modifying the cid in another rom fails at signature check.does anyone know where I can find a Rom for voda nz?
[HTC Sensation XL] Sensation_NZ:
Well its been quite a night of it, I found that it was HBOOT causing the issue with CWM and managed to find a chinese site which had a recovery image for 1.28+

I now am able to load CWM and can flash the Chinese ROM, however when I try to flash the ROMs I am actually interested in (Insanely Cool Sense & Total Senseless) I receive the following error

Error in /sdcard/<ROM NAME>.zip

(Status 1)

Installation Aborted

Can anybody shed any light? I have checked the md5 of both zip files and both appear to be ok

I have the same problem so i went to anzhi

i found this recovery 5.8.3.1 Touch

bbs.anzhi.com/thread-5117313-1-1.html

and i can flash it but when i try to flash the ROM (Insanely Cool Sense)

i got the same error message like you

so i went to anzhi again

i found this post

bbs.anzhi.com/thread-5182616-1-2.html

it's about s-off your SXL

then use fastboot flash RUU to degrade it to HBOOT 1.25

but after doing this, you have to change

system\etc\vold.fstab (open with text file)

(the last line)

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 33 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host

change to

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 34 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host

sorry for my bad english :o

I am about to get a GT-P6800 from the Netherlands.

I live in Portugal.

The firmwares seem to be very "country specific" and even "carrier specific".

I'll be buying a carrier free version.

What problems can be anticipated for my usage?

Thanks

XK
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sk806:
As I am sure this thread will be moved to Q&A, where it belongs, I will quickly answer, my device is also carrier-free, but it is from Hong Kong, and came with ZSLA TGY firmware (Hong Kong-based). However, I was able to flash several non-Hong Kong firmwares without any problems. SOME users, mainly from the middle east, but from other places, as well, have had problems with flashing firmware not intended for their device. I have built a ROM based on XXLA4 firmware, from Switzerland, and it appears to work with most, if not all, GTP6800's, so, if you are planning on switching firmware, XXLA4 firmwares would be a good choice. If you don't switch firmware, you should be fine...

Also, one last note, the non-ODIN ROMs in this thread will not change your radio/modem, so that relieves a major concern in terms of switching firmware.

Hope this helps.

Do not post questions in the development section!​
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
Thank you. It does help. :)

So, may I gather that updates via Kies do not correlate where Kies is being run from (i.e IP from Portugal) vs. the firmware version, in what relates to release country?

I am thinking mainly of the stock ICS upgrade, which is just around the corner...After that, it's no problem, as I intend to customize the device.

I am just worried that Kies just won't offer the ICS upgrade, if it detects the discrepancy.

(Sorry, for the wrong forum posting...Noobs will be noobs, I guess...)

XK
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sk806:
I believe that is correct, although I am not a Kies user. It is correct with OTA updates...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lerkin:
Sorry of OT in other topics!

OK, why is that thread?

Because I and some other users have really big problem with free RAM after 24 hours or less after uptime.

What does it mean, problems with free RAM?

From the first day with my new SGS I9000 first on CM 7.2 and now on AOKP M5 I Notice a problem: very fast dropping of amount of free RAM during uptime. For example after reboot I usually have about 140 mb of free RAM (cached processes included). After 24 hours free RAM drops to about 70 mb. I installed 'Memory Usage' to figure a out What is going on... And I saw one strange thing: Just after reboot 'Android system/settings storage' process consumes only about 50 mb of RAM, after 24 hours - 84 mb, after 48 hours - 107 mb.

Few images follow... Please notice I always made a screenshot with same amount of services running, except first one, there 'NOVA launcher' is not a service, but a cached process. Lately I switched to 'APEX launcher' cause it has 'stay in memory' feature to decrease launcher's redraw.

Just after restart

After 24 hours uptime

After 48 hours uptime

Again I use AOKP m5 with xl bm Devil2 kernel (40x mbs free). As you can see after 48 hours I have ONLY 41 mb free. What that 41 mb mean, that mean I have bad multitasking, few cached processes; and after I start something big (recent angry birds or instargram) that big process will stop all cached processes and even several running processes (in my case it shuts down whatsapp, dropsync, apex launcher and so on).

Before SGS I9000 I had lg optimus one p500 with same amount of RAM available for user (around 420 mb) and I NEVER had such issues.

It could have 100500 hours uptime without any decreases of free RAM and with great multitasking. Same screenshots from that phone will be uploaded here in 48 hours to prove.

Now guys please be so kind and test that on your ROM (ICS, GB, stock, custom) and post here your results. I need just 3 figures: 1)amount of RAM 'android system' consumes after restart 2)amount of RAM 'android system' consumes after 24 hours uptime, and 3) amount of RAM 'android system' consumes after 48 hours uptime.

You don't need to restart-wait 24 h-wait 48 h. You can check your results now (any hours uptime), wait +24 hours check results, wait another +24 hours check results, than restart, check results and post them here. And if you have spare android phone in your family, PLEASE test it too and post results here. It can help us and me understand if I'm wrong or right noob with I9000, if it's Samsung's issue or CM/AOSP issue. And yeah, sorry for bad English. Thanks for participating.

Edit 3: I use very low minfree taskkiller parameters , around 24 mb, to keep as much cached processes as possible

Edit 4: If you don't have that problem, please, share your setup (ROM/kernel). Thanks. (changed title)

Edit 5: Don't say 'I don't have such a problem, you, stupid noob' if you restart you phone every day and don't have experience with uptime more than 24 hours!

Edit 6: Removed other ROMS

Edit 7: 'Android system/settings storage'
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikos523:
I have a solution for you..

1) reboot once a day

2) don't use antivirus apps

Problem solved :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DROCSID:
Why? Who cares? First stop using the word '****', second before you ask

people to let them report their memusage it definitely might be a better

plan to google, look and search how memory/cache works and how to keep

it in hands, before saying it or trying to say it's a problem with the OS/ROM.

Try it with swap on devils kernel. I got 1.5 gb ram memory :) No problem with low ram.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lerkin:
I don't want to reboot, it's too easy and doesn't solve the problem in the root.

not solved, it will only free 15 mb, and that 15 mb will became consumpted in a day a so

Thanks, was frustrated, corrected that word. Again, don't think it's global android's memory management problem. But of course I can 99% be wrong. But why on my old phone I didn't have that!?

Swap is unstable and slow for me. Maybe it's mine sd card problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorigo:
It's probably you, your apps or something, i've never had such a problem.

Rephrase your question and ask nicely if someone could help you fix your problem because no one else will probably join you in posting ram stats because we dont have this problem.

Sorry if that seems disapointing, but it's probably not the OS or the phone, just your OS or your phone.

Perhaps ask in the AOKP thread, they might be able to help you seeing as you're running their rom.

Thank you very much!

Can't press Thanks for now, will do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lerkin:
Tested latest CM9 nightly, working fine here for 50 hours. Plenty of free RAM for cached processes (good multitasking), 'android system/' process consumes only around 55-61 mb, no 'memory leak'. So it is (was) aokp's issue.

I'm really sorry for blaming CM9!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Depends on how many apps u have installed,try delete some of them..

have u ever tried a cache cleaner?. Try "easy cache cleaner" search play store. Android piles up loads of s... from the apps u are using and that is usually why your phone seems lagging after some days of use.

Anyway, u need to reboot your phone once a day or two. Just a good advise
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJustin:
I'm on AOKP milestone 5 with midnight kernel and i notice that system progressively takes up more ram as well, although it plateaus around 65mb ram. So it probably isn't AOKP issue. After 4 days without rebooting (with all ROMs i've been on), things seem to slow down a bit, and free memory seems to be lost somewhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lerkin:
I experienced it on aokp, as I said. Now, on latest CM9 - I don't have any problem with growing 'android system/' process and I have enough of free RAM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lerkin:
I know about it, and it doesn't depend on amount of apps installed, but on amount of running apps with services. Cache cleaners useful for cleaning some free space on internal (phones's) memory (/data partition I believe).

And I don't want and need to reboot my phone every other day, because I don't have problems with free RAM with latest CM9. But still, Thanks for advise.

C:/sdk/tools

yours could be different like

C:/sdk/platform-tools

Second

replace the aapt+apktool.jar in your apktool path through VTS (see the pictures)

you can chose whatever path you want, but it's important that the "external folder" looks like this

Third

: tag your resources files is very important!!

You must tag you resources files (resources=files you find in system/framework) in order to makes apktool able to find the resources and compile/decompile properly your apk. This is an example of tag's

To create a tag, just type whatever in the tag space, then click on add framework. As you can see I used Ville_1.53 so the base I'm messing up with. Type the tag WITHOUT any space use "_" if you need it.

Software is now setted:D

Step 3: enjoy the VTS power

So now let's start with the funny part, manipulate your apk. I used a Sense 4 Rosie.apk as example.

-Start a new project (it means start a new project LOL)​

now you're here, you must set the project (see the pictures)​

-Once your project is setted, just click OK and the software will make the magic for you:D​

-to mess up with your apk, just right click on the project (on the left side), and open it in "explorer"​

-once you made your changes, another right click on the project and "build" it, once again let the application do its magic:D

-you'll find your brand new apk in "Binary" folder, to acces it just right click and open the explorer as before!​

History

This project first started back in April 2011 with the announcement of the HTC Sensation and Sense 3.0. At this time HTC said that the previous generation of devices would not have the hardware capabilities to run Sense 3.0. Spurred on by this challenge the community came together and worked tirelessly to get it booting on devices such as the Desire HD and Desire Z.

Getting Sense 3.0 booting was not to much of an issue, the bigger problem came once the rom had booted. Due to the sensation having a qHD screen and last generation devices having WVGA almost every Sense app and widget was oversized.

After much poking around the apk’s it came apparent that HTC had started to use a special binary format called m10. These m10 files were new and at the time no one knew what they contained or even how to decode them.

Along came Diamondback and Flemmard, between them they managed to build a decoder/ encoder for the m10 format. Once decoded they were able to resize sense 3 and the now legendary Virtuous Unity was born.

The m10 project soon developed in to a much bigger idea, why have a piece of software that is only able to modify one element of apks.

So work began on implementing existing tools such as apktool, adb and more. A lot of time has been spent making sure that work flow is correct and provides the best possible user experience.

And that's where we are today, presenting you Virtuous Ten Studio. :)​

[Desire HD Android Development] CodeNameUnknown1:
I'm loving the VTS, its like being at home with the Visual Studio look :)

Anyway, I'm kinda new with modding apks, but i decompiled SystemUI.apk successfully and i changed the statusbar_background.png image to a more transparent image.

I built it successfully and pushed it back to the device (i noticed its pushed with rw-rw-rw-, not rw-r--r-- like all the other files in /system/app/). Ofcourse when i opened the lockscreen, i got the msg "statusbar force close" So i rebooted the device, and (although i didnt get the force close msg) systemUI.apk wasnt loaded/read(there was no statusbar at all).

After logcat'ting' my device, it said something about SystemUI.apk does not have the correct key, and something about isnt in the secure database, or something like that (i forgot what was written).

I have a feeling its from the signing of the apk, how do i solve the problem?

UPDATE:

I copied the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml (from the original SystemUI.apk) to the "<VTSfolder>/SystemUI/build/apk" folder, and unchecked "sign apk" in the properties of the project. I built the project again, and pushed it to my phone, rebooted, and it worked. But for some reason, the statusbar isnt different, its the same as before (i.e. it isn't transparent)
[Desire HD Android Development] benjamin.j.goodwin:
Thanks! I think it has something to do with the fact I have tried this awful Win 8 preview and it's messed up file paths. Will try again! Good guide though.
