Hi,

i´ve tested maaannyy different ics roms like omega 12 and also many different Kernels like siyah, abyss....

i´ve also used the kernel cleaning script before flashing another kernel..

i´ve also cleaned the extweak settings when using a siyah Kernel!

but i still have a problem with my touch key backlight :-(

sometimes the leds are off.. the settings are "always on" i dont know whats the problem... they are working great for hours but after a few hours they are not responing only a lock and unlock is working!

currently im using the omega 12 with the latest siyah kernel, i´ve flashed it 3 hours ago and the leds are off again!!

i dont know whats the problem or wich file is responsible for the backlight settings!

please help!!

sorry for my bad english :-/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
It'll probably be related to a custom liblights.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odd29:
ok.. but how can i test it or fix it ?? :-/

You tried many roms, but the stock?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odd29:
i´ve also tried the stock :-/

i´ve also reflashed the omega v12 yesterday.. :-(

is there a liblights restore file for ics ??

i have a second i9100 with latest siyah and omega v12 without this problem..

can i copy the liblight files to the other i9100?? i dont know where i can find the files on the phone :-/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
You've had a day to search for yourself from my guess, but no signs that you even tried.

Take a look in /system/lib/hw and see if your lights*.so has a different date/time to the other files. If it does and there's a BAK file, use it. If it does and there's no BAK file, get it from your stock ROM and stop using a kernel which is overwriting it automatically.

If it doesn't, I don't know what the problem is.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odd29:
i had searched and i´ve allready tried to use a file called "remove bln.zip" from a german board.. but it was not a success.. but i´ll try the file from the stock rom.. thx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odd29:
hmm.. :-( still no success.. maybe other ideas? :-(

thanks for your help!!!!

1. i´ve reflashed omega v12 without siyah kernel!

2. then i´ve used the bak file!! - still same problem

3. i´ve than tried the stock lib file - still same problem...

its very strage that after coping the bak file and reboot the phone the size of the lights.exynos4.so file is a little bit smaler

than the lights.exynos4.so.BAK file.. but it should be the same!! VERY STRANGE!!!

I have a problem when I watch flash videos and surf many websites, ics kills the browser and the launcher. Is there a way to fix that issue.

Using JJs hybrid from v2.2 but had that issue with Ka and I-Scream rooms. I didn't have that problem with stock GB rom.

Use app2sd pro to wipe the cache, or try another program that clean up the cache mate, i have it to, but i wipe always the cache to clean it up when i browse, ask next time in general chat in Q/A topic, there is always an answer so you dont have create a new thread;)

why i dont have that on stock ICS? ( waarom heb ik dat niet op mn Neo V met supercharger en Stock ICS ?)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
I don't know :p All stock ICS roms where a slow for me, only MIUI V4 beased on stock ICS is smooth now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Maybe you don't use it as much as he. :)

Try opening few tabs in browser, then minimize it and open chat program, or some other program, root explorer or something simple as that. Then go back to browser, you will be lucky if all your tabs are still there :)

As sdk16420 said, ICS is more hungry than GB, and that is a fact. If someone use phone his phone lite, chances that he will notice that are smaller.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
yeah there is a point, i use my phone only for daily use, fb, twitter, whatsapp, play some games watch on XDA through my phone, make some pic, nothing else, and clean always the cache after that, i have tons of games but no losing memory to nothing, so the problems is indeed by that guy itself, no bad meaning ofcourse and what sdk16420 said, my stock ICS is not slow for sure but yes i supercharged it and it runs smooth, fine and fast.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
yup agree about this

Check the specs of HTC Desire C this phone comes with ICS

If this phone can handle ics then Neo shouldn't have any problems handling ICS whatsoever.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
@Tenacius D:it's not questionable can it run, but how good can it run ;)

Neo V can run it, but it runs it so sad and slow, at least in case Sony stock ICS :)

Actually CPU is not so important in story, RAM's are.

Weaker CPU will get the job done, but (a bit) slower, lesser RAM will get your apps killed in the background.

I would prefer 500Mhz with 1GB ram's, than 1.5Ghz quad core and 512MB ram's :) but that's just me :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Tenacious:
Madfysh I agreed with you more ram better multitasking but CM9 and aokp are prof that ics can run better on our phone apps are lighter on memory and hardware is better utilized sony can also do this but they don't wanna waste resource on last year phones.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Yeah ok, but the Neo and Neo V is less then a year old and not years, so Sony must dont be affraid to release the source for us Neo users and also the Arc;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Tenacious:
That was spelling mistake corrected, bud didn't get this source part.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Who says Neo cannot handle ics :p

Just that sony rom sucks

Cm9,miui,aokp are enough proof
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gr8techie:
I have also faced this issue when I installed the official ICS ROM on my NEO. Can anyone suggest a viable solution?

BTW, I have officially unlocked my boot loader now (I hope) and I hope to use some other ROM out there and see their performance.

And, as far as RAM is concerned, I have a Galaxy S and it has only 512 MB RAM and it runs ICS very nicely (stock AOSP).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Bro why Sony roms sucks??

i have no problems with it all good fast and no lag or any crap thing else,

i delete i whole bunch of crap what i never use :D

but either his taste ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BitEE:
I've tried stock ics and cm9 and for sure cm9 is much smoother overall..
[HTC One X] stiffmast3r:
Stupid question:

did i have to flash the right boot.img when i restore a rom via nandroid?

lets say, i have a sense rom installed, but want to restore the cyanogen rom.

did i have to flash any boot.img before i restore a backup?

i guess not. correct me if im wrong :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] hopscotchjunkie:
Yes, of course you do. You can't write to the boot partition from recovery (without s-off), which is why you have to flash the boot.img via fastboot when you flash a ROM. So when you're restoring a backup from recovery it's still not able to write to the boot partition, so you'll have to flash the boot.img from your backup yourself.
[HTC One X] vans88:
where do you get the boot.img from? is it in the nandroid backup file, if so where? Thanks!

ps sorry for bringing up an old thread.
[HTC One X] stiffmast3r:
In the .zip file of the Rom you want to restore.
[HTC One X] vans88:
where do i get it for a nandroid backup of stock rom?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
depending what version you want. there is a thread in development by Tryce.. he had all the stock recoveries from 1.26 and onwards and all the boot.imgs for all stock rom versions.

U should flash the same boot.img as it was when u made the nandroid, for example, yesterday I was with venon and franco s kernel, made a nandroid, flashed another rom and boot.img. then used my nandroid of venon, restored nandroid and flashed franco s kernel boot.img.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenneth.Torres:
So I've had the Verizon tab for years now, and I've successfully root it. Only thing is I'm trying to install CM9 but it aborts the install and it says something like "status 7" I flashed cwrm through rom manager and I chose both the galaxy s and epic 4g recoveries but I can't install on both. So my question do I need to install a specific cwrm? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbud11:
Fix for Assert Failed Status 7

I just ran into this issue and found the solution on another site. First, you should have the correct clockwork recovery for the device installed - there is a galaxy tab vzw version for the latest cwm build - 5.0.2.7. If you are getting the "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") error then it can be fixed by editing the zip files to remove the assert check.

Note: make sure you are using the correct version of the rom - it should be p1c for the verizon version of the original 7" galaxy tab.

1.Unzip the rom, and then open up the meta-inf\com\google\android\updater-script file with notepad ++ or something similar. (The original poster said regular notepad doesn't work for some reason.)

2.At the top of the code you should see the assert check as the first few lines, delete these lines and save it.

3.Next, open up the zipped rom in winrar/7zip etc. delete the existing updater-script file and add in the new one in the same folder.

4. Install via clockwork recovery. It worked on the first install for me and cm9 hasn't had any issues.

Does anyone knows how to delete old backups they no longer need?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Backups of what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
If you're talking about nandroid backups then those are stored in the root of your external sd card under "clockworkmod" and then "backup". Each folder is a separate backup, you can just delete the backups that you don't need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jerrold24:
Thanks a lot
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baconatorXVI:
I have a quick question, how come there are hardly any(none) ICS kernels that are flashable with ODIN(.tar)?

Has there been a move among developers lately to use clockworkmod recovery instead of odin? or is it just easier to have build a .zip file instead of a .tar?

for example, on this kernel

page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21503469&postcount=6#post21503469

they offer a CWM only .zip for the ICS users and a .tar file for flashing for gingerbread users.

I ask because i'm tired of using one click to 2.1 to fix my captivate when i got locked out of CWM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
That link is not a kernel; it's for a driver. The reason they aren't Odin flashable is because we don't have Samsung ICS for the captivate. If you look at gingerbread, the Odin kernels are only for Samsung GB and not really AOSP roms

Sent from my ICS Samsung Captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baconatorXVI:
Well thanks for the reply! I had been wondering what the difference was.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Aosp roms are a mtd partition format, Samsung roms bml partitioning. You can't use Odin (or Heimdall) to flash mtd partitions. That's why there aren't any.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Apparently it is possible. I've never been able to (it's just easier to use cwm) but I've heard you can flash kernels and "recovery fix" with Heimdall (and probably ODIN). It's just easier to flash with cwm since alot of kernels have their own set of tweaks and init.d scrips which can't be flashed with heimdall.

My 2 cents stay away from "experimenting" with heimdall, odin on AOSP roms unless you need to.

Cheers
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
No, its not possible. I tried for 2 Weeks to figure out a way to do it. The kernel format for aosp (boot.img) doesn't play well with zImage expected by the bootloaders. The key is actually the bootloaders. That's why a Nexus S can be flashed with Heimdall/Odin using a boot.img file but Captivate can't.

But, whether i say po-tay-to and you say po-ta-toe, i agree. Don't experiment with it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Then I don't know. I've seen that "recovery fix" been floating around i9k ICS roms. Like I said I haven't used it, never needed to. xD
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Recovery fix? Haven't ran across that one yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baconatorXVI:
Thanks for explaining it!

Maybe one day there will be a replacement program for ICS. I wish I was more of a software guy but I'm a mechanical guy. I'd love to know more about working with software, someday.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baconatorXVI:
Hey just fyi semaphore ICS just released a new version and it's a .tar so it's flashable by odin. It's good to have another way to fix your phone from a desktop.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Stay Frosty:
I bought the One X today, and just my luck, there are a couple of dead pixels. Now I can live with this because honestly you can only see them on a white screen when looking at just the right angle.

But then I noticed a bright spot towards the bottom left of the screen. It's like an overly bright pixel. Not dead because the color changes, but overly bright and noticeable on any light colored background.

I swear, every LCD screen I buy has some kind of defect. Whether it be dead pixels or backlight bleed... I don't understand why today's technology can't make a screen free of defects. It's so frustrating.

Anyway, my main question is... If I bring this back for an exchange are they going to charge the restocking fee?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
I dont think so, especially for a hardware defect. I think it only applys if you return the phone and/or exchange for a different phone (not the same one)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Artimus009:
They shouldn't. I would raise hell if they did...they only would if you're exchanging for a different phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aimfire72:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] n19htmare:
Like you said, that's a return and buy, not exactly an exchange so I can see the fee.

But on another note, can I ask why you decided to switch to grey?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
There is NO restocking fee for a defective phone. Ever.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aspj111:
I saw the grey and just like the look better.I also don't want to use a case and the grey will hide any smudges etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Stay Frosty:
Just exchanged it. No fee that I'm aware of.

I checked the new one while in the store. It had a couple of dead pixels but no obnoxious bright yellow spot like the original. I said eff it and just decided to get it. Those dead pixels are so tiny that you pretty much have to be looking with a magnifying glass to see them. I would NEVER see them under normal usage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bluemax189:
dead pixels fine as long as you are getting the exact same phone, same color and all. people dont realize the costs associated with returns and exchanges for the carriers. Paying reps, shipping phones multiple times, selling as refurbished etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cloudraker:
Yup, they allow exchanges without charging the fee. The other thing is it doesnt impact your return policy. They only allow one exchange in the 30days but as long as its a defective exchange you can still swap it out or return it later should you change your mind.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
I swapped out a One X because the device I had would just randomly reboot for no apparent reason but since it didn't do it during the 10 minutes I was in the store they said the only way I could get a new device was to pay the $35 re-stocking fee?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Driggity420:
Just bought my one x and had to exchange because of a cluster of.dead pixels and no restock fee
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
My phone is 3 days old and my glass on the top left corner is up to the point I can see light bleed out of it in the dark. How are these problems handled when there aren't any One X's available anywhere?

Secondly, do I need to be the person that bought the phone? Me and a family member on different accounts swapped phones. I have the receipt and everything.

As I'm big photography fan, I use my Xperia Arc to take photos. Photos are very live and colors are very vivid, but I have some problems with camera, I have focus problems while taking video, when I press cam button it wont focus that minute it needs some time, about 10 secs to re-focus, as for Auto focus as for Face Detection in any scene mode. In additon I'm looking for BURST mode, because I managed to take photos of lightnings with my C905 and this phone has very slow camera, I'd ask to improve the driver somehow. And anyone would edit camera driver so we could change the iso and other options it would be great. Please suggest anything , maybe application or something. Thanks in advance.! :)

Check out this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro . It's paid, but you can adjust ISO, custom exposure, save in PNG and some more. Don't know if some options work, but I tried it with longer exposure (10 secs, under very bad light) and while I got a black photo with stock camera, this got me something a bit better. But there is a lot of color loss with custom exposure (the pics turn out pinkish on the places where there's light).

Hey guys, I'd like to apologize in advance if there is already a post or thread already out there for this, I swear I looked everywhere. Anyways, I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I know enough to flash custom roms, create nandroids, and how to get back to stock. My questions is, I want to run GB until ICS officially comes out, but is there anyway that I can only root+cwm my EL29 ROM and only have sprint hotspot hack? My objective is to keep the phone as stock as possible with the exception of root+cwm so I can nandroid, use Titanium Backup PRO, and connect my wireless devices to an actual hotspot, instead of using the wifi tether app. I'm currently running an EL29 custom rom that has all of the above, but sometimes I'd like to just have the "stock" TW feel without the theme and tweaks.
