To delete files in /system/app you'll need root permission and remount system partition r/w.

In a shell type:

su

mount -r -w -o remount /system

cd /system/app

Then you might remove dedicated apps using the rm command.

Should work. Before applying DoomLord script you'll have to flash older kernel which could be exploited.

Physical keyboard layout problem

Hi,

I just installed Lupus v10 and Ultimate HD 3.0.2 to my mk16i and I'm having problems changing the keymap to nordic (se-fi).

First I tried to edit the keyprint.xml (keylayout from qwerty to qwerty-se-fi) but it didn't have any effect. (booted couple times)

Then I tried to flash the swedish-finnish keymap (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690889). It just made things worse. Basic keys were the same as qwerty, but numbers and other alt+ keys were messed up bad.

Does somebody have an idea how to activate the se-fi layout? I'm really lost here. Should I try a different kernel?

Any help is appreciated :o

Nevermind, found the solution.

First of all, I apologize for my english.

I am an Android newbie and - after a year with an Onda TQ150 (an "italian version" of ZTE Style Q) - I bought this terminal a few days ago.

For now I don't want to unlock the bootloader, so I installed CWMR via XParts.

I downloaded Jelly Dream 2.0 last night, factory resetted my phone (i didn't wipe /system because XParts installs CWMR in it), installed via "install zip from SD card" in CWMR and did the Aroma setup.

After rebooting, i got bootloop and have to reflash my phone with 4.1 Pro kernel via Flashtool.

Where I went wrong? Is it the /system wipe?

Hi everybody, I have a problem with my phone, Xperia Pro.

I have rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, installed Cyanogen 10 and flashed the kernel, all according to some tutorials on a french forum (because I'm french) and I believe the source of informations on those forums was xda of course therefore I come here for help cause those french forums are kind of dead.

Anyway, the problem I have I have it since I've done the "hacking" stuff on my phone. And the problem is simple: when I use my 3G internet for a while, lets' say 30mins I have a normal battery drain. But when I switch off the 3G internet connection it's like the battery is still draining, even thought there's no apps opened. For example I can go from 70+% to 30% in a matter a few hours when I don't use my phone at all !

I tried to calibrate and it doesn't change anything. This problem doesn't happen when I use Wifi, only 3G and after I've used the 3G. On the battery graphic you can really see the line sinking down.

I think it's related to the custon rom or the kernell, now since I'm a noob I cannot tell you what kernell it is exactly but in that's what written in my phone in "about the phone":

Kernel Version:

2.6.32.9-FXP

Hey guys.

I recently flashed new ROM and Kernel (for the first time, ROM is Ultimate HD 3.0.2, and Kernel is Lupus v 13 with wifi modules as well).

I am really bothered by my battery life, at almost 12 hours i have 47% already with manual screen brightness, no bravia, no sync, wi fi , or bluetooth, autolock at 15sec, but with live wallpaper and 3 homescreens with walkman widget, clock, power toggles, a notepad and some apps.

I will keep checking on my battery performance, right now it's on 11h 40m at 47%, i will post my results tomorrow (7-10 hours from now).

Meanwhile, is there anything i forgot to do after unlocking and flashing ?

I've heared about some overheating problems (but i only get warm MK16i when playing games), normally battery widget shows 22 C.

Also, do i somehow format my battery after flashing (wiping battery stats?) - I know though that Li-Po batteries dont get memory problems and do not need to be formated, but is it the same after flashing a rom ?

In other words, what do i do after flashing kernel, then rom (wiping all data, davlink, sys reset/factory reset, and battery stats at 90+% of the battery), then wi fi modules... anything after that ?

I'd appreciate any kind of help :)

Just delete them and flash lupus..

Won't really affect if you have any init.d scripts..

3 I Flash v13 in this order? Or will my phone be half/half working with errors or such.
