will that void warranty ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] netmine:
Nope. Unless you unlock the bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
How does it matter if it voids your warranty? Your warranty doesn't any way covers hardware damages. And software damage can be repaired by flashing a wokinf ftf using flashtool.

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] loCe45:
Yeah, but the thing is SI numbers will be different from the back of a phone with the one in service menu. And also, this rom will lack all the T-mobile crap and bloatware they usually put there :)

I really hope you're right and if the day comes when i have to go to my mobile operator with the warranty, they dont give me hard time because of this... But hey, i can blame myself for being inpatient and them for being di*ks :)

Hardware damage does not necessarily mean that phone has to fall or hit something to get damaged. There are alot of hardware components that can go 'bad' on them own. Manufacturing defects that can happen to a whole batch of phones where for example motherboards burn out etc...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kareemgonna:
I don't think that the warranty is worth keeping your bootloader locked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] loCe45:
Yeah, i'll probably unlock it once when i decide to put some other (rage perhaps) kernel and OC the phone, but untill then it stays locked.

I have a few of questions. I have modified my first ever rom. Am so proud of myself. :-)

Anyway, where in the registry do I select UK keyboard as default keyboard layout on first boot? At the moment it always defaults to US keyboard layout.

Where in registry do I choose UK language as default language and region upon first boot? I have chosen 0409 as default but it keeps using US region upon first boot.

Finally how do I stop preinstalled oem apps from reinstalling themselves after a reboot even though I uninstall them? I presume this is a registry tweak too. Many thanks.
[Windows Phone 7] AndrewSh:
Dump European stock 2.05 and take Language boot ID package from it (0809 default) or at least - have a look at the rgu file of it.

Dump another source rom. What did you expect dumping rom containing this bug? And - no - it's not a registry tweak! :) Sorrowfully.

So as you see - all answers to your questions are "dump proper source".

Normally you should dump stocks and create your kitchen. Than you develop the kitchen by adding unlocks and other goodies. Dumping someone's custom is a good step to start but later on - it's a dead end. You will continue to get bugs from other chiefs without having a possibility to find and fix them.
[Windows Phone 7] tboy2000:
Thanks for the advice. Greatly appreciated. Yes I have modified an exisiting custom rom. It is a start anyway as I have never modified a rom before using the osbuilder. One day I will do it from scratch as you suggest :-). Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7] tboy2000:
Can someone who is using en-GB (not US language/layout) as default language AND as keyboard layout and region please check in your registry and tell me what the data field for APC should be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\International]

"LCID"=dword:809

"ACP"=dword:???

Any Solution ?
[Windows Phone 7] tboy2000:
maybe its wrong radio?
[Windows Phone 7] AndrewSh:
tboy2000, it's absolutely useless to give any suggestions to the guy - we don't know even his device. According to his "Nextgen" - he is trying to cook for first gen device. That means - it has nothing to do with radio. First gen device roms are not dependable upon radio version.

His cyclic reboot on HTC logo can mean everything - beginning from non-booting XIP and finishing mistakes in OEM part. The only solution for him - continue trying. And playing with settings of OsBuilder. As I already told - dumping customs - absolutely wrong way.

The source of XIP, SLDR and OEM must be STOCK rom!

How can I go about making my ROM updatable?
[Android Themes] flint91:
I saw the sets of WP7 icons floating around in the forum and decided I'd have a bash at making my own. Most of them are created and I have decided to share them with everyone here.

I would like to thank hinderbrus and his topic here for the inspiration. I couldn't find a template for what you used, so had to create my own with references to yours.

Dimensions are the following for the icons.

Horizontal: 355x132 (3x1 grid)

Vertical: 115x295 (1x2 grid)

Designed with my Motorola Atrix in mind. Layout works using a 4x5 grid using Desktop Visualizer to create the shortcuts. Nova Launcher being used.

I will be working on other dimensions(1x1 grid, 2x2 grid, etc) for various apps and continue to imrpove and expand the collection. Recommendations or requests will be accepted.

The images used were retrieved from simple google image searches. Some are original work so if you know the owner please feel free to let me know and I'll give them a mention. I claim none of the images as my own and thank the work put in by those who created them.

Download and view individually here.

Templates for GIMP and Photoshop have also been provided.

I shall continue to create more icons and improve on others. Once again a big thanks to hinderbrus.​

Hi. This thread is for kernel CM9 source code request. Other devs can mod it and decrease battery drain because CM9's battery drain is very high. Kernel SC doesn't update since 2 months.

Other possible request is that kernel CM9 will support undervolt.

Please if you would like the requests posted here, post in this thread and we will try to get it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
This is pointless, their source is readily available from their github
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] j.llorente:
Don't update since 2 months ago. Enter to the kernel folder and see it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
The code is updated, the changelog isn't.

Not every part will show newer....

Many parts will show as months old, however if you sync the source you will get the latest code.

If you sync the source tree yes
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] j.llorente:
Ok. Sorry. I only saw github and I don't download SC. And...yes, SC are updated if I download it. So that...the only request now is undervolt for CM9 ;).

Hi All

I am a relative noob but have read around the Forum a lot.

I am trying to unlock the bootloader on my Arc S. I have checked all the basic on Sony site, it is allowed etc. The problem I have is my PC does not detect my phone when in recovery. When phone is booted normally PC companion finds it no problem. I have SDK manger installed and fastboot.exe is working, it just can't see the phone. I have CWM recovery installed, not sure if this is an issue.

Does anyone have any idea how to sort this out.

Many Thanks.

You should connect in fastboot, shutdown, hold menu button (the one right to home button) while holding connect the usb. A blue led should light up

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobalt92:
Ok I managed to sort it out, I tried all sorts of ways but the phone would not load into fastboot. In the end I was having numerous problems so I flashed JJ Hybrid rom without unlocking the bootloader. Intrestingly when I had done this the phone will go into fastboot, so I have now unlocked the bootloader. I gues there must have been something wrong with the offical rom that I had installed.

Thanks for the advice.

If you actually check CPUSpy, it usually displays 1400Mhz & 200Mhz used when the phone is actually not touched. With APEX, it constantly shows Deep Sleep.

Somehow the Touchwix UX is waking the device up. It still goes to deep sleep, but it also does eat a bit more juice. That's my .2 cents.

maybe the "ripple" effect of the lwp is counted as a touch on the screen and keeps it up ?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Hey guys, got something for discussion here....

I remember back when i had my I9000 there was a problem with the first few batches of firmwares, basically it was killing the internal memory cards. To bypass this the community swapped the sdcard and emmc. As an added bonus you could now get much faster IO because you could use a class 10 memory card instead of the class 2 cards they were putting in the phones....

I wonder if we couldnt do the same thing here? Instead of loading everything on the internal memory why not use the microSD cardslot, throw a memory card in there, and reassign everything to work from that? IO could be a lot faster if we use a quality card...

What do ya think? Possible or not?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Funny, I was actually thinking the same thing last night.

I have a handheld android gaming device, and when I install games on it, it gives me the option to transfer the game to SD card.

In this case it's more so to save internal storage space, but it made me wonder if we could install programs/games to external storage. If nothing else, we could compare boot times of various apps (stored internal vs external) and see if there's a difference.

If it's an IO contention issue due to scheduling it probably won't help, but it'd be worth checking out.

So... is there an app that lets us transfer installed programs the external storage? (I think you meant a ROM which would do it, but this might work as a proof of concept until then.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
a class10 sdcard delivers 10MB/s, which is quite low, in general lower than the internal memory.

besides that the 10 MB is probably measured when reading and writing large files which is faster than small files (which you will be doing when running android from it)

Antutu shows 5-6 MB/s write speed in my case but i dont think it will be better on external memory

i have yet to find a benchmark tool that can test both the internal and the external sdcard on android ... someone knows such a tool?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderos101:
Have no idea if theses are any good, i just googled, but they claim to measure read/write speeds both internal and external

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderos101:
Which one did you use?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
The passmark one is quite useless, really inconsistent results (300 MB\s on my internal memory, and 5s later its 30 MB\s)

For the device information app:

My internal speed gives aprox the same results as you.

However for External SD Card speed you'll need to add a custom location /Removable/MicroSD, for me it results as expected: aprox 10 MB\s for MicroSD class10 so bench looks fairly realistic.

All in all the SGS3 pwns the prime big time.

Also inreal world; installing a random app on SGS3 takes like 1-2 seconds, on Prime it would take 6-8 or something and it completely locks up.. the difference is so huge!!

But regarding these bench results: this difference does not explain the use real world difference.

I think this bench writes large files of data at a time, where as the SQLLite writes little portions of data (inserts), same what happens while browsing and installing apps (a bit bigger but still relatively small.)

I think this is the Prime's problem; whatever the cause may be.

Gonna try to find some tool for seeing whats going on in the background... want to see the queueing etc.. but unfortunally this aint windows lol :)
