Thanks - I cannot get into any recovery right now. Is there any way of getting into a recovery via ODIN? Then I'm going all out to to the ADB partitions...nothing left to lose!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Princeomi:
Were you on LPY before LPF, if yes how did you get to LPF i.e. mobile odin or PC odin?

All the best hope you recover by re-partitioning
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe2316:
Yes, LPY then back to GB LC1 via Abyss/Redpill. Then LPF via ketan's collated info. Then stupidly, Nandroid back to GB LC1, which is when the **** started.

So is there any way I can remove the counter & triangle using PC ODIN before I send it back to Samsung?

Alternativley, any way to get **any** recovery so I can try ADB?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Princeomi:
There is a kernel (I don't remember the name), which resets the counter, hence removes the triangle. Never used it though. Search for that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
It is Angelom 1.2 brick kernel, and you will not be able to dowload it from XDA (links removed).

Hi guys was searching for a Floating Video player & I came across this free player which plays both Audio & Video files in the floating mode.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.PopupVideo

Supports:

* Resizing the window / popup

* Forward / Rewind

* Plays floating YouTube videos

* Brightness & Volume control

* Upto 6 windows.

EDIT Here is one more paid app that you could try:

- Floating player Beta:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floatingplayer.app

I'll update this post with other floating video players if they are better. :D

Kindly hit 'Thanks' if I helped. :)

What is included in the free version? is a trial?
[Android Apps and Games] 'cooleagle':
Read the description mate, its a free version without ads. There are three such players in the Play store currently and only this one is free other two are paid. :p

If you find a better player do post it over here guys.

I found a problem but not necessarily a bug, you can't play an Audio file with the screen locked.

If you lock the screen the audio stops playing but as its mainly for playing videos its not much of an issue. :)

Hi I would like to try what you have mentioned. However, I am currently still on the GB ROM. I have rooted my phone. I presume I need to flash to ICS first before trying your method.

Is there anyway I can flash a stock ICS ROM with a locked bootloader using flashtools? Stock ICS is not released for my region yet so I can't do it by the usual PC Companion way I think.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogobaba:
I dont think that u need to install stock ICS before using this "method".Try installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ and then do the steps said in the rom u want to install.I would suggest u to read very carefuly the tutorial provided by the rom's developer so u wont srew your phone like i did the 1st time aka dele cavik cache/farcroty reset etc etc.U can use the instructions from this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1526717 .U can put any rom u want on the sd card but the steps before that got to be the same
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetaBolic0:
So basically what you did was install a Stock Based ROM without install the kernel that ROM need right? And is working?

I have ROOT and ICS Stock, i already search and i was thinking to install a Stock Based ROM without ROM custom kernel but i was afraid :p

So seams you try it and work right?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogobaba:
Yes ive tried those 3 roms and they work with the stock kernel that my arc s comes with,they detect the phone as lt18i etc etc.Mind that if your bootloader is locked you probably wont be able to get into recovery vie the normal way aka press to volume keys up and down,thats why u need to install the xperia cwm program and reboot into recovery with it.If you do something wrong and your phone freezes at the xperia logo we can fix that(flashing the stick ICS with flashtool using flashmode (holding the back key)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdplsa:
I think you should install ICS first because those roms require baseband 70, that comes with ICS.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogobaba:
Well are u sure that u did all the steps here ?

Perform a wipe:

Select “wipe data/factory reset”. Then select “Yes” on next screen to confirm. (This will not touch your SD cards so don’t worry).

Go to “advanced” and then select “wipe dalvik cache”, then select “Yes” on next screen. Now, go back to main screen of recovery.

Select “mounts and storage”, then select “format system”. Select “Yes” on next screen to confirm. Go back to main recovery menu after system format is complete.

Then, select “install zip from sdcard”, then select “choose zip from sdcard”. Then, browse to the file you transferred to the sdcard in step 2 and select it.

Confirm installation on the next screen by selecting the option ”Yes — Install whatever rom u choosed“. The ROM will now start installing.

After installation is complete, select “go back” then select “reboot system now” to reboot the phone.

Because those are the steps that i used with all the 3 roms from the 1st topic and they worked without problem
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverLo4d:
yes, exactly these steps. and by the way, you don't have to format the system manually because the installation does that, but i did it anyway. i think i will wait to JJ's ROM for locked bootloaders.

Just to make sure I understood:

I have stock Iberia ICS so my stock baseband 70 and stock kernel should work with any of the 3 roms on the first post right?

Then another thing, on the CWM auto installer thread it says not to use it if not on 2.3. Did you guys encounter any problems being on ICS?

The worst that can happen is to flash stock ICS right? Any permanent bricking risks?

Are they roms already rooted?

This is amazing. I have locked bootloader with 4.04 kernel (rooted 4.03 and updated to 4.04) and installed Arconium MIUI and my battery time went from about 1,5-2 days to 4! I'm in love with it. Is Arconium ICS as energy efficient too?

I'm glad you have such battery efficiency but I was on 4.0.3 MIUI and the battery sucked!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szymon247:
^ Yeah it makes me wonder why results vary so much. Was it the pure MIUI or Arconium MIUI? Perhaps there are some tweaks in the Arconium version.

I think that part of the reason why the battery is that fine is that the key backlight is off and the OS layer is well optimized - doesn't run useless services - I get less than 5% of energy usage by software itself.

Anyway I can testify that everything works fine with locked bootloader and I haven't encountered any problems.

Sorry, apparently I need 10 posts to post in that thread.

Xperia arcS - locked bootloader ?

ok . . . I´ve been reading, I mean reading ! . . . all about installing a custom rom on my arc s which is as follows:

Model Number: LT18i

Android Version: 2.3.4

Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62 - (I can flash back to various older versions no probs)

Unfortunately my bootloader is locked and must pay to unlock so i decided to attemp all three roms mentioned above following your instructions and failed repeatedly.

Phone boots up following a clean install of custom roms such as: jj hybrid, cronium, new JB, and many others - sony ericsson logo appears then dissapears and thats as far as all roms i´ve attempted to install goes.

QUESTION:

Is there a thread or link that shows a list of custom roms that will work with a locked bootloader ? or is there any way to actually install a custom rom successfully on a locked bootloader - yes or no ?

Thanks in advance :confused:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merlinlightstrike:
Hi, you should not bother. If I am not wrong, the update will not work if you have installed a non-Sony Rom like Aniking.

In any case, the 4.0.2.A.0.62 update cannot be rooted if u have a locked bootloader. Hence, it is better not to update.

Have fun and do consider upgrading to ICS and then installing JJ Hybrid. It is currently very stable and fast at v3.2/ v3.3b

Far enough . . .

I´ve managed to root the 4.0.2.A.0.62 update . . . downgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.42, root it, then install the 0.62 update via wifi and root is maintained, at least for me and works well.

Just to make sure I need to just place this file in the backup folder of cwm and restore it from there right?

Well you unlock your bootloader in order to flash new kernels, which had yes own advantages and disadvantages. You don't need to do that to have a snappy phone however. Try other custom roms to see which one works for you. If I may, I recommend Maxio"s Jelly Sandwich or Jader"s Ultimate HD.

Your phone has a locked bootloader by default.

No, put the rom file in the root directory of your sdcard not the backup folder. Your cwm backup folder is for nandroid backups not the rom. And I've been using volume down to boot into cwm not back key..
