Hye guys..

I open a new thread here as a discussion/question/how/what/which/why/when thread for our roms/kernel.

The main target are:

- no need to open new thread (keep this forum clean of unwanted/unness

- for those who not yet reached 10 posts

- a better replacement of PM, i received a lot, which some i may forgot/missed to replied (sorry..)

- what else.. still thinking..

Currently supported roms/kernel:

KERNEL - The Alliance kernel mod for ICS (Old Night-Elf Kernel Mod)

ROM - codename 7

ROM - I-Scream build 11

All help from other user are very much appreciated. For those who are being helped, don't forget to thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] emannxperia:
Just three simple rules:

1) Please give info of which rom/kernel that u are using

example:

[ROM]codename 7

(then here you write your issue)

2) Follow rule number 1

3) Thanks those who help you

codename 7

i have installed codename 7 and i have more battery and speed while its stable

is it illegal to have so much fun?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lokokokakau:
asf

just wanted to say thanks, I wanted to flash one of you roms for a long time and since ICS , even custom, has been a little laggy for my taste this seemed like the perfect opportunity. I love my NEO v and have high hopes this rom will make it the mean-machine it's supposed to be!

(btw i'm still doing the first boot, waited 5 - 7 mins nothing happened*, i took the battery off and trying again! i have used the kernel from the rom file and flashed the rom afterwards.still nothing! )

* i see the "The alliance" logo and nothing more. still waiting :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] emannxperia:
Which rom?

If it is with The Alliance logo, the it should be no 'hang time'.

More info please..

sent from my digital typewriter
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lokokokakau:
well i have installed codename 7 and the kernel that was in the zip file

first flashed kernel via fastboot

did one reboot

then used cwm to install the zip file

since the kernel was installed i could see the "the alliance" logo

but i have rebooted 3 times now and it will not show anything more than the logo :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] emannxperia:
Try do full wipe b4 flashing the rom. Make sure u are on firmware 42 or 62.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lokokokakau:
all's good

ok so this is what i did.

went back into cwm, wiped everything , then installed from zip the rom

reboot

everything worked fine, it didnt even take long to boot!

So thanks! Gonna look into the goodies now =)

[ROM] Codename_07

I didn't select to install fonts while installing the ROM because i didn't know the fonts will change. I liked the fonts in codename_06. I found three fonts in the package - Clockopia, DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold.

Is anyone of these the font used in codename_06? If yes which one is it and how do i install it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
These are the roboto version of the fonts, as used in the old Xperia S add on, to use them copy to /system/fonts replacing the ones that are there, you can use es file manager, set permissions to rw,r,r and reboot

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lokokokakau:
Just reporting after the first 30 hours of usage...

Super smooth, awesome animations, no lag.

Couple of pointers :

The transparency of the notification background makes it difficult to read black letters when using black wallpaper

I encountered some weird behaviour once when I tried to set a new wallpaper, the screen went black and flickered, hitting the home button took me out of the gallery but when I went to try again the same thing happened.

That's it for now.

Ps, would it be possible to manually set the buttons in the quick panel; or somehow add selection for 3g/2g ?

Many many thanks for everything!

This should have been posted in Q/A however

you could try downloading Mobile Odin Pro from Google Play. Then go to Samfirmware.com and download your original firmware that came with the phone,( NOT A CUSTOM ROM). Unzip the file till you get to the .tar Put the firmware on the root directory of your sd card. Run Mobile Odin and install the firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowman77:
Mobile Odin

Buy Mobile Odin from play store (it's worth it and support @Chainfire) (here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en) and flash to XXLPQ to restore to stock.

Go to equalizer n use a preset called "phone speaker (loud)"...

It vl give out loud sound enough in the safe limit...

Else u can use custom...

And set all the values in equalizer to maximum...

Like yesterday, Installed Hydrog3n rom on saturday night, Hardly used my phone (2 hours 26 mins screen time) Battery is down to 36%

No wakelocks, nothing like that

Thinking of using my Anker 1900 and returning my 2000mah and getting a replacement. I suppose it couldnt hurt could it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
Have you checked to see if you're getting comparable drains with your original 1650mAh battery? Or check with your Anker 1900 first.

Have you checked out the 2000mAh forum? Perhaps theres someone on their with the same rom and battery

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevyn82:
Guys,

I always wondered how harmful could be - in theory - a homebrew app installed on an Interop-unlocked wp7.5 device.

What is considered as a virus, spam or scam app?

The worst it could do is copy my contact list and upload it on its own server? (privacy issue).

Could an app take the whole OS down?

How much do we trust casual developer?

I always install homebrew apps found on the xda with no second thought. But a few days ago I installed an app to browse some *dirty* websites and dunno why, I started thinking about this issue?

Thanks to you all!

K.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chabun:
Usually, you can trust the guys here on XDA.

However, even a normal app could steal your contacts. And a homebrew app on a b fully unlocked rom can do even more (of course! that's the point :D).

But as said, XDA is usually quite OK, and if a big name like cotulla, ultrashot, Heathcliff74 (and all other amazing devs here on xda) is behind it, you're definately safe.

Oh, and what's a virus? That's nood easily defined. Just think of a file manager. It allows you to delete files. Deleting a file is nothing special. So what? Well, what if the app is going to delete random files? You got a virus... (That's why it's so hard to make behaviour analysis....)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
LOL, there is no way WP can get a virus with it's locked down UI and isolated storage. WP isn not Windows OS. So don't worry.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbrunner7:
Unlocked phones and risks

Please note that the OP is talking about an Interop-unlocked phone which is quite open compared to a WP7 phone in its normal state (which really does give little reason for worry).

If you ask me, the age of pranks and viruses that delete your files just because they can is over already quite some time. Today people most often try things with malware if there is money to be made.

So you may ask yourself: How could there be monetary profit from the very small base of users with fully-unlocked WP7 phones? Especially factoring in the fact that many of those users being anything than noobs which will get suspicious easily.

If I was a malware author I really would look out for greener pastures :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ne0cr0n:
if you don't trust the developer you can easily check the code by decompiling it. ok... this requires some knowledge in c# development and doesn't work for native code.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Well, decompiling native code is entirely possible. It's just more difficult to read the resulting source.

There risk is absolutely there. The way malware would work on WP7 is different from how it would work on a PC, but it's certainly possible (and actually, on a full-unlock ROM you could write malware very similar to how you'd write it for PC). Consider the various kinds of Android malware; WP7 malware (with sufficient permissions) could do things like send SMS to "premium" numbers, track you using the GPS, and other unpleasantries.

This is the reason that, for example, Heathcliff74 made Root Tools require that the user manually mark an app as Trusted before the app receives full permissions. Of course, that requires that you trust Root Tools itself (and it's quite heavily obfuscated, so decompiling it won't do you much good) but as @chabun said, he's one of the "big names" in WP7 homebrew and is considered trustworthy.

For myself, this question is one of the reasons I release the source code to my apps. If you've got the source, you can check it for any malicious or even undesirable behavior, and if you want to you can modify it to suit yourself better.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sermann:
Well, there are quite a few harmful things a malicious homebrew app could do:

spy on you all the time using the built-in cam and mic;

record all your phone and video calls;

copy all your text messages;

track and report all your movements (GPS);

upload all your personal pictures to a third party;

call international or "premium" phone numbers without your knowledge, generating large phone bills;

send "premium" text messages or registering you to premium subscriptions;

sent text messages in your name to influence a TV show vote;

reroute all your phone calls through a "premium carrier", again generating large costs;

transform your phone into an email relay or VoIP for spamming;

record all your usernames, passwords, account numbers or credit cards for financial profit;

make your phone become a BitTorrent relay, eating through your mobile data allowance in a few days;

I am sure that we can find a few more by brainstorming a little bit, or by googling "iOS malware" or "Android malware"...

So the key questions is not what is possible in theory, but how much do you trust the developer of an app, homebrew or not.

Cheers,

Stephen
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevyn82:
Thanks for your answer!

Yes I think some premium dev like yourself, Heathcliff74 etc are deeply trusted on here.

But still I am pretty sure the average user doesn't care about names or source. He or she won't be able to read though the source code or understanding what does require an app access to.

Also, if the app would require "elevated privileges" trough Heathcliff's Root Tool, he wouldn't think twice about granting to it.

Then if something bad would happen, then it would blame the OS, not him- or herself.

Things like requiring user confirmation to call or send a text within an app, from my prospective, never should be avoided.

On iOS for instance a lot of user complained to the carrier (here in Italy), some international sms sent billed in their accounts. It was iMessage first set up to send a txt to the UK (which costs on avg 0.30 Eur, compared to 0.10-0.15 a single sms).

But I am wondering now why jail-broken iPhone aren't subject to malewares like the open Android platform. I'm sure unlocked iOS would be a pretty green garden for them.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chabun:
You're right:D, just wanted to show that it's not really easy to say what's bad and what's good...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There's been malware for jailbroken iPhones. There was even a worm that spread by infecting people who had enabled an SSH server on their phone but left the default password.

The reason it's less of an issue there than on Android is that malware is typically a business - that is, it's done to make money - and so you target the largest number of people you can. There are fewer iPhones than Android phones, and far fewer jailbroken iPhones than Android phones that can access the market or even install apps from outside the official market (pretty much all of them).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Okay gang, I need your help. I'm new to the android landscape (note was my first android device) and was asked by a good friend of mine to find her a phone.

She's looking for a Unlocked Samsung Galaxy series phone that she can use here in the US as well as be able to swap a sim card and use for service in Italy when she visits.

So two questions. What device do you all recommend, and where is the best place to procure it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
Agreed. The unlocked Nexus $399.99 is the best choice for now.

Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note™ - please forgive any typos
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
Here's a list of frequencies used by country:

http://allworldcellphones.com/gsm-frequencies-list.htm

Italy uses GSM 900 and 1800 frequencies which is supported by the International Note as well as the I717. I didn't see anything about LTE or HSDPA related figures, but I only looked for 3 min and clicked the first link.

My suggestion would be for her to determine what she wants in a phone. Does she want to take notes? does she want a small phone? As long as the phone has the proper frequencies, she would be able to use it in Italy. Most AT&T phones have the capability of running 800 and 1800 as well as many others, but verify by looking at the specs before buying. If she has a US carrier in mind (like AT&T) she can buy one of those subsidized and pay an unlock fee from a site (cheapest I've heard of was $8) and will probably save money.

If she wants to buy a phone outright I'd say look at the galaxy 2 series. From what I hear it's a great phone, a large community here (if she feels the urge to mod it) and can pick a new unlocked one for about 400.

Hope this helps a little.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drksilenc:
any international unlocked phone will work. the international gs3 wouldnt be a bad bet. n7000 as well. you just wont have lte. I would not recommend an at&t direct phone because it will not be unlocked. so sim flipping could be an issue in italy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
International Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, or wait for the Galaxy S3 to come out.
