WiFi and internet

Thanks to all developers to keep devicealive. There are many ROMs including Kitkat. I have personally tried many rom and KK are fast compared to others. But main concerns are Wifi.

Anyone knows which rom is best amongst others in view of Wifi, HDMI and/or FM working. I cannot connect to internet via wifi in JB and KK roms.

ROMs tried,

CM11(KK)

Unofficial Carbon Rom(KK)

VanirAOSP(KK)

Ultra Slim CM10 (JB)

LegacyXperia (JB)

SuperJellyBean(JB), etc.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xbeda:
Do you have installed kernel with correct wifi modules? For example I use SuperJellyBean with SuperFusion kernel and wifi works very well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pnperl:
used same.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] M_w_B:
Best for Camera (mk16i)

I'm doubting between the following kernel + ROM

LUPUS kernel (CM10 based) + FXP CM10 ROM

LUPUS kernel (ICS) + ULTIMATE HD + MooDeD camera mod

I know my mk16i has a stock kernel based for ICS, yet I would love to use Jelly Bean but I want to be sure that my 8.1mp will come out just as good. What is the best option, anyone experience with this? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] seventhworl:
How about ROMs based on JB or KK?

Baseband 85

i want to flash baseband 85 , but in the link of bb85 there are two links one is FTF file and other ZIP file and the link of FTF file is broken....so do i need to flash ftf and then install ZIP file in CWM or the ZIP file alone will do it .:confused:

Thanks

Edit : Got the FTF file !

Keyboard

Currently using a KK Rom and the keyboard works the way it should...you just have to choose the keyboard layout that you want from the rom setting .:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] seventhworl:
JUst to clarify, what KK ROM you are using atm? And by saying keyboard works as it should you meant that

-hardware-

keyboard suggestions and autocorretions are working fine?

I am looking for JB or KK based rom where these features are working :) Thanks!

Stock Kernel with CWM and root - based on 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware(Stock ICS)

Link died, but i really need it. Can someone reupload this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] axxel84:
Just uploaded!

You have to verify if this is really the kernel you are looking for, because if i don't go wrong, it was named bootmk16i,img. I didn't rename it, but i am not sure if it is the stock with root. Be careful ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shareupload:
.62 is GB kernel

the kernel you are asking for is stock GB and not ICS .

.62 is GB kernel

Hi guys,

I am currently looking at JB and KK roms, if you could recommed few rom that would be great! Thanks for attention.

I just tried Super jelly bean and managed to get auto corrections working hardware keyboard.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishuxperia:
Try Smart xperia rom(JB), CM10.1, Carbon Rom (KK) is what I am using now, PHD Rom(KK) is also nice but with some bugs.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dustylambo:
Link says "expired"

Any way to upload it again?:fingers-crossed:

I, and I am sure others, will be endlessly grateful :victory:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] axxel84:
Try now, I updated the link :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dustylambo:
Awesome!

Link works, that's for sure...

Are you still as unsure if it is "the real deal" as when you posted above, or can I rest assured it truly is stock w/ cwm+root?

Either way, I am extremely thankful for your help and dedication :highfive:

I could care less what this kernel is, I just need something new to try, since for some reason I can't get neither rage, vengance or lupus to work properly...

Thanks again!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] axxel84:
I'm sorry but I haven't a mk16 anymore, so I can't try it. I had the file on my pc and I remember that stock kernel with cwm and root was named bootmk16i.img, so I think it is the right file. Anyway, make a CWMBackup and make sure you have access to the other kernels that work on your rom, because I can't be 100% sure :)

Partly done! I am working on the rest. Thanks for bringing up this idea. Very useful idea indeed!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ameer1234567890:
This deserves a separate thread, IMHO.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] RiCi12:
Well, not know But maybe in the future i will open a new thread.

Now it's simple, and a bit useless (if you are not in my situation).

But i will add some useful features, that could help people that don't want to change stock kernel (or are not able) (or are too lazy :P). And maybe i will add arc/arc s support.

I know how to do everything, but i don't have enough time (next week, i'll have 3 exams, the week later another one, and maybe another one -.- so i must wait)

So now i need a house, so i ask you to let me stay here for a while! ;)

About Arabic Support,

Hi, thanks for your very Helpful post, I'm new with android .. My phone is Mk16i and it's still vergin . So am learning on how to root it and searching for the best and tested way to do that .. So after reading your post .. i want to ask you about the Stock firmwares, Does the " MK16i 4.0.2.A.0.42 (UK) , ALT (Android 2.3.4) " support reading & writing in Arabic language..

Waiting for your kind reply , Thanks a lot for your very nice post ..

If you would like to activate it, only press the button (after, open nofrillscpu/setcpu/whatever you use and select smartassv2 from the list)!

You need root! Tested on stock 2.3.4 rom with stock kernel (let me know if it works on other roms, i will try some days!)

Last time i post this here, i'm going to add xperia arc/s support, so i will open a new thread!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] XperiaProMk16i:
Thanks,

I'm just wondering if the listed mk16i firmwares supports Arabic fonts " for reading " ...

and if not , does the key map come with the required Arabic fonts support ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ameer1234567890:
I believe Arabic font for reading is supported!

key map does not include anything related to Arabic fonts or any other fonts. It is just a programmatic mapping of keys.

Not to mention, various other tools, mods and a lot of stock firmwares are around. This is great win for us all Xperia Pro owners. Keep it going guys.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wiidbzxt:
Just be patient, it's pretty hard to make a ROM of a different Android version that the company itself never supported.

ICS roms we're pretty few until Sony updated their phones to ICS, X10 had few GB roms until Sony updated it to GB; my recommendation is for you to wait until 2012 lineup get's 4.1.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cinguliano:
This thread is the best! Thanks guys for all this info!

Is there a tutorial on how to flash back to stock ROM using these ftf files and on how to re-lock the bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xtacy!:
Do you have Flashtool installed? (Download Flashtool from the link given in the Development section).

Download the ftf and place it in the firmware folder of Flashtool.

Install the necessary drivers, ensure that USB debugging and unknown sources are ticked.

Choose Flash mode, and you would be able to choose the ftf you want. Connect your phone according to the instructions given.

Tick the No Final Verification box.

(The file for relocking is already there. Just choose it if that's what you want to do).

Is there a pure vanilla android ROM available please?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xtacy!:
You asked the same thing in this thread. I already gave you an answer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cinguliano:
I was wondering the same. CyanogenMod is NOT pure vanilla Android. I thought with manufacturers putting their own crappy skins on their phones, there would be more interest from people to reach the pure Android experience -- a clean ROM with no customizations other than the drivers necessary to get the device's hardware features working. But I guess it's hard for people to not put their own spin into an open OS. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cinguliano:
Thanks. These instructions were clear. It didn't work though and I posted about the error in the Flashtool thread.

I'm pretty new to this stuff, but is it possible to incorporate elements of another kernel with this?

For example, I'm using hotwire R2 to overclock my i717 to 1.83GHz, but I can't get boot animations working... would it be possible to take the R2 kernel and alter the portions pertinent to boot animations so that you have both?

Check the super thread for boot anims...((top of the general note section))

Also check the themes and apps section...

I was going to flash CM9, but while reading through the page in the general section I came across this at the bottom:

Don't expect help if...

are not running stock cm-kernel

I searched for a CM kernel and didn't find anything. Doing my search, I noticed some mentioned that the kernel is built into the flash.

A: is that correct? If so, why would the specify you need to be running a CM-Kernel (Unless CM means Clockwork Mod?)

B: If not, where can I download this kernel at?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Because there are other kernels out there that's why. They'll only give you support if you're running the kernel that comes with the rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
Ok. so option "A" is correct then. Since I'm running Entropy's daily, by flashing the zip, it will automatically replace the kernel I'm running. They just don't want people going in behind their install and throwin in their kernel of choice. Correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
No they just won't support it if someone flashes another kernel afterwards because that can create other problems that they can't troubleshoot if you aren't running their kernel. This is because the kernel might have caused said issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Think about what yer asking. If a ROM didn't come with a kernel built into it could it run? No. What kind of kernel would a CM (cyanogenmod) ROM come with? Ehhh? A....CM kernel perhaps? Is this not common sense?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
I'm not sure what you're saying is true. When installing UnNamed Rom, I needed to first install a kernel with CWM in it (Entropy's). I'm not sure why the install instructions for the ROM would say "Install the Kernel" unless it needed it. Would be kind of redundant don't you think?

That's why when I read the warning about running a different kernel, I wanted to make sure that there wasn't a step I was missing before installing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
You're completely wrong. This only when you're rooting. UnNamed already comes with a kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Asked, discussed but don't say such "I'm not sure what you're saying is true", it is an insult. Phalanx is right and I think you maybe still confuse about the process.

Q: why would I (we) need to install custom kernel such Entropy DD before flashing custom ROM?

That question leads to another question

Q1: how do I flash custom ROM, what is the requirement?

A: In order to flash ROM, you MUST have CwMR installed

Then next question Q2: how do I get CwMR installed on my device?

That lead to the answer for the first question, you get CwMR by installing custom kernel.

Still confuse?

Now back to your discussion, yes, every ROM (I should say every firmware image) MUST contain the kernel (along with the OS).

In your first post, CM9 ROM will have CM9 kernel called "CM stock kernel"

Why don't they support anything else but their own kernel?

Put it this way, you sell me a PC, running Windows 7, I bring it home, rip it apart, install Linux on it, when I have issue, I call you and say "I bought the PC from you, I decide to install my own OS, and now something doesn't work right". Do you think you will provide me any kind of support?

Another note from your post, CM9 is ICS, make sure you get Entropy's ICS kernel called FAQUD (spelling), not his Daily Driver for GB.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archoson:
Well after my Samsung GSII got licked by a dog, a slow black was spreading across my screen like a cancer, I sent it to get fixed. Got it back and everything was working fine. But since my operator has a custom OS thats is Hebrew only, I usually flash a different ROM, this time I didn't even get to it. I rooted my phone, it worked, and when I was installing Clockworkmod recovery, my phone bricked, I fixed the brick by using a official Samsung OS, 2.3.6 I think, and this is where I think things went bad. First my phone started thinking its an Epic 4G, than a S1, a note, and now its back to thinking its an S2. Inside the OS my home button doesn't work, but I can access Recovery and Download, can't use home button in recovery though, it wont let me. And whenever I try to flash a different rom, Odin always gets stuck at "Nand Write Start!!" and than it says "Complete(write) operation failed", I have had no success with anything since than.

Summarized:

Home button works since I can access Download and Recovery, but I can't use it in recovery.

My phone keeps thinking its a different phone.

Odin wont let me flash anything with a "NAND write start!!" I have had success flashing kernels though.

Thanks in advance, I really dont wanna take my phone to be repaired again, only got it back yesterday
