Hello guys!,

i want to ask 1 question, do i need to unlock bootloader to root n flash custom rom? or i just can root n flash custom rom without unlock bootloader?

sorry for newbie question i came from galaxy ace section :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
dude you are not new to the forum...you have 50+ posts..so you should know that this is the General Section..Questions goes in Q&A Section..

Well the answer to your Q is YES and NO..

you do not need to unlock the bootloader to root and flash few custom ROMs..

but if want to have many options of ROM and custom Kernels then YES..you need to unlock the bootloader.. and unlocking bootloader is highly recommeneded..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikmal2129:

Looks good but the size... :eek:

300+ megs is huge, even by ICS standards. You might wanna consider removing Temple Run & NFS to shrink it (most people can download it on their own anyway).

Also, I'm not entirely convinced keep all the bloatware is a good move..

Good work either way. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
CWM backups also include the whole cache and data folders, that is another reason why these are so big.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
Just don't hesitate by seeing the file size!!:mad: its worth of it...!!:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
Isn't nfs shift a paid game :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
Wrong. Thats why u shouldn't include it. Read forum rules. If mods saw this u could get in trouble.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kamarush:

thanks!! i will remove and reupload the link in 2 hours!! :angel:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Somyab:
Anyways if u reuploading it..wipe your data and again make backup..so it will reduce the file size.and bloatware free
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:

Nice.... Looking forward to installing....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lucaslexford:
the notification led is working ?

i'm looking forward to this :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Thanks for your sincere effort. But I just wanted to say something. Isn't all these attainable by simply installing the Xperia S apps on your phone?

I mean, you could have installed all the apks of Xperia S on your LWW, take a back up using CWM, and upload it and share it here. Right?

Its basically very same as flashing a zip file which pushes the apks to /system.

Forgive me if I am mistaken. And do correct me. I am willing to learn.

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
S, what u have said is right!! i like stock rom as they r stable. but i want them to be some what faster than they r and some what prettier than they look.. so i tried my self all these stuff (in features) and experimented on my phone.. and it is working perfect. i have used and tested for 3 days then i have shared it in XDA. as am no DEV so i dont have a perfect idea to make a flash-able zip file( learning currently) so i dont want to mess any phone of others. so i got an idea of sharing my modification via CWM Backup recovery so i made it here...!!

Sorry for my bad english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
Check out guys new XPERIA S ICS keyboard has been added it supports skins and it has lot more options than perivious keyboards... screenshots also added!!:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
U should atleast give credit to original poster of that xperia s keyboard. My guess is its the guys from xperia arc theme & app section who first posted it. U just reuploaded it back :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
S but Sry Forgot...!!:p i was in hurry at night so not remembered. have added now. Thanks mate for remembering me this...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MustaqAhmed:
I am still not clear about how to install this rom. this will be my first custom rom for my lww. do we have only select WiFi module in cwm not the Rom isn't it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
read carefully the installation process line by line...!! first install rom through CWM then install WiFi modules on to it..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MustaqAhmed:
thanks ...I'll get back to you when I am done installing
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BandenX:
I'm interested to sms app. Can you tell me about the detail? When we took "current location", does it change to MMS? Can we find delivery report time using this new mod? I'm using mini pro as my signature. Sorry for my bad English
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kenshinta:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MustaqAhmed:

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

Got it :laugh: ..it is working now
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
download the backup rom

1.extract it and copy the extracted folder to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

2.if u have locked bootloader then u need to have ICS kernel and CWM installed

3.now goto CWM while phone is booting

4.select backup and restore option

5.now again select restore..

6.after completing restore install WiFi modules and com.android.process file [in note.]

if u still have doubt then clarify me where u got exact doubt..!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
dude install WiFi modules and com.andriod.process fix for less complaints.:angel:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MustaqAhmed:
Installed successfully...what I link is new music player, xperia theme, pre rooted. I found timescape is not resized, but

I have installed earlier version of this...

am I able to play max Payne and other heavy games..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
S mostly... but i recommend u to flash "krsh v2 kernel" for games.. its fast and better and having good screen response.. if u encounter any problem in games with other kernels then just install "krsh v2 kernel".. it will perfectly play all games mostly!! As i have tested games with several kernels..!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MustaqAhmed:
ya but I have not unlocked boatloader. do u know some working method to unlock boatloader of lww I tried test point method but not succeeded.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
first of all i want to know this thing...

what is your bootloader status in service menu?? bootloader unlock allowed : "yes" or "no"...:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] crazysamer:
don't try it !!

my phone is not turning on any more
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
if u have not wiped all the data n cache n dalvik cache and formatted the system then it wont boot... and even u should have a appropriate kernel!!

how can u say "dont try it" if u have made any mistake in flashing or restoring it???? so may have tried and using it even me using it with out any problem!!

try to find the mistake.... or else ask some for help to flash it... flashing this rom is different from other .zip type roms!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MustaqAhmed:
boatloadet unlock allowed - yes
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
so here is a link that directly takes you to post where you can find tutorial to unlock bootloader and install custom kernels..!!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pkkilleru:
does wifi channel 12 and channel 13 work with this rom? i have a live with walkman (wt19a) with locked bootloader, and i have high hopes with this rom.

Does the wt19a even support channel 12 and 13 at a hadware level? Would be nice to know :cyclops:

Please let me know, thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
what ever channels work with stock ICS from Sony will work with this ROM... No need to worry!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pkkilleru:
Thats the point, on the stock rom only channels 1 to 11 work, i've been sqashing my brains out for the past 3 days trying to find a solution, and it seems it lies with cyanogenmod, but i don't want to unlock my bootloader, i rooted my device, tried a few scripts even an apk, but nothing works, i am sad :silly:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
No in stock channel 13 and 14 also works.. only channel 12 dont work with it..!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pkkilleru:
i will try your rom and let you know if it works
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
use kamarush WiFi modules i have added them in Add-ons... i think it may help....!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pkkilleru:
i tried to restore your cwm backed up files and i get MD5 mismatch! error in cwm
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
may be because your's is wt19a i think so, i am using wt19i......!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pkkilleru:
i got it fixed by unlocking the bootloader with this free method and flashing with cyanogenmod 7.2 stable rom, then using rootexplorer i modified build.prop under /system and edted ro.wifi.channels=13 and now my wifi is working on channel 12 and 13, my device changed from wt19a to wt19i obviously and it's a lot faster than the stock rom. Kickin! :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sravan242:
Good to hear that u got fixed... So now which ROM u r using??:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pkkilleru:
cyanogenmod 7.2 stable:highfive:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kspuchakai:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] abhibnl:
That's great if it's legit :O:O

Sent from my Ace S :-P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CJCord:
sorry for (more or less useless) posting, but

afaik CM9 is based on ICS. And because ICS wont be ported officialy for Ace/cooper (official by samsung i mean) it cant be used as base for CM9

hasnt this been posted somewhere by CM-officials? pls correct me if im wrong. CM9 for ace would be awsome (if its working)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dragonnn:
CJCord don't trust Samsung! He fu** us and Galaxy S users.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
There IS a download link though. Dated 24 june.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] side_effect:
Its CM7 link -_-
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ZenPluS:
I do not spam. but I would say at this point we can also think of 1 or 2 months we will be releasing the first nightly

wat ? how ? why ? when ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ZenPluS:
http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#cooper/[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="5"]cm9[/SIZE][/COLOR]/next

There would have been written cm7
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
no it isnt read tht chanelog properly !

edit:the download link is for cm7 -___-
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Since001:
because there isnt a nightly for cooper yet. which doesnt mean there wont be one in the future
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] side_effect:
Yes but selecting downloads take t CM7 downloads section.There is no CM9 in list.Try yourself
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] busybox1:
so is tht me or this link is saying cooper got official cm9 ? lol is this tru some one tried it well i dnt really think.so

........
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ZenPluS:
OMG .. since there is still available release of CM9 see only those cm7, because it is a general downlaod section, not only for cm7
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prawesome:
This is interesting...Best thing we could do is to wait for coolya to have a word on this?

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

The download link might be,but the changelog isnt.

Merge "camera: Fix initial parameter setting" into ics

Also,the git branch is tagged as ICS,but,again,i am no github expert.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] side_effect:
Didnt get u mate:confused:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dragonnn:
Just be painted, this maybe start of the project, don't forget how long we needed to wait for the first build of CM 7 official.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ZenPluS:
there aren't still available nightly for download. Is in closed beta. always the case during development
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
:D you're right.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iandol:
Oh you lot are desperate eh?

BBQLog is an automated changelog by some web developers (not CM team); i.e. an automated html5 app not made by cyanogenmod will not tell you some magic secrets — read the official CM blog to learn what CM plans to do, or their CM9 descision tree, where cooper fails at step 1...

edit: check the cooper repos at github — no ICS branches...

EDIT EDIT: CM9 decision tree https://plus.google.com/u/0/117962666888533781522/posts/XzbMYgotkmy
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dragonnn:
But see at the changes, the are merged into ICS.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] :
To close, it's automatically created by BBQ script.

Official CM9 only could be, when my team will finish everything. CM is not making software for legacy devices without ready device sources.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] eagleeyetom:
As Macław said. It's not official CM support.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Anyone got this case? It seems awfully similar to an Otterbox Commuter, but possibly less bulky due to the silicon an acrylic portions being joined as one. I was just wondering how it compares as far as shock/drop protection.

**Update 6.29.12**

Got my phone and case yesterday and here's my review on it

Not gonna be long winded here, just short and to the point. The silicone sleeve fits perfectly although the lack of the hard plastic shell extending over the top and bottom parts of the sleeve do allow for the sleeve to be pushed back in those areas if you were to say, put the phone in the pocket of your skinny jeans. Glad I don't have to worry about that as nothing about me is skinny, not even my jeans. Once the sleeve is on, the hard plastic shell snaps into place much easier than that of the Otterbox, and you don't have to worry about trying to get the shell over the buttons like on the Otterbox either. The shell has a matte look and feel to it, looks very sexy and feels good too but the finish is a bit too smooth/slippery IMO. The Otterbox on my Atrix 2 was just plastic and it was much less slippery when holding it. The thing that surprised me the most is how little bulk it adds to the phone and how little lint the silicone sleeve attracts. I wear cargo pants at work, cream colored one's, and I keep the phone in one of the side pockets...the sleeve on my Otterbox would attract lint from them, although it was cleaned away by simply blowing on the effected area right quick. I've had this phone in and out of my pocket all day and it's relatively lint free. With the case all installed the power and volume buttons are very easy to press, even allowing you to hear and feel the "click" of each press, it feels as if you don't even have anything covering the buttons. The cut outs for the charger/headphone jack ports and the microphones are precise and spot on allowing unobstructed access to them all.

The only things I would change is I would make the shell a different texture, something with a bit more grip and I'd add covers/plugs for the charger/headphone jack ports so they are protected when not in use. Other than that, a great case that hopefully won't get tested for durability anytime soon :)

I'd recommend this case for sure, it's sleek and sexy and adds to the look of this sexy beast of a phone. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 9.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] House M.D.:
i just ordered one yesterday.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Well as soon as you get it on your phone take it outside and drop it so we can see how durable it is :D

Seriously though, do post a review once you get it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] House M.D.:
LOL,

I'll keep you posted....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Sounds good.

Where did you get it, from them directly or somewhere else?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RTBee:
+1. I've got an otter box commuter on my captivate and after trying several cases, I kept coming back to the commuter. If this is similar and only one piece, I'd be very interested in it for my future phone (s3) :cool:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] House M.D.:
From them directly. $19, free shipping
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Joo got sum 'splainin' to do

Lol, my bad, the pic looks the same to me, except its a hard case with Silicone Core.

That's the NGP case.. your thread title says Silicryllic which is $29.99. :p

I checked out some videos on youtube and this case is pretty much their version of the Otterbox, the main difference is this one doesn't have covers for the charger and headphone jacks. Check the video

[YOUTUBE]BqQ71HlaQDY[/YOUTUBE]

I think i'm gonna get this case instead of the Otterbox. I liked the Incipio case I had for my Sony Ericcson x10i and since the Otterbox isn't set to be released until July I figured this would be the way to go. Amazon has them for $24.38 shipped

Just ordered mine, should be here by the time I get my phone

Does anyone have experience with both the SILICRYLIC DualPro Hard Shell Case with Silicone Core and the NGP Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case?

http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Cases/Incipio-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-SILICRYLIC-DualPro-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp

http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Cases/Incipio-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp

These were both linked previously. I just wanted to put them here for ease of viewing.

I like how the NGP is thinner and less bulky but don't know if it will provide enough drop protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zaisaroni:
I've had a Silicryllic on a Gnex and HTC Titan...

Very good case for protection, definitely will take a pretty big hit as it has some give in it to absorb shock. Also gives the screen some decent face down protection too as it comes around the side better than most hard cases. It's no defender, but it's much more pocketable on those two 4.7" devices.

The only issue I ever had was the rubber catches more pocket lint than most cases, but that's just a quick cleaning every week or two, or just hit the shirt once a day with it.

EDIT: I'll probably get one for this eventually as I like to have a thin everyday case (already ordered a Rock quicksand) to protect against everyday scratches when setting it down/falling out of hand, etc, and a bulkier one for events, outdoor stuff, or just yardwork/housework/garage days.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Death&co:
Thanks for the link! I was about to pull the trigger on this Candyshell by Speckproducts but they are out of stock of the black so I ended up buying the Incipio instead.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
No problem...sharing is caring :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NA 521":
That Candyshell looks really good. Do you know what the finish is like? Is it somewhat grippy?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NA 521":
Where did you read that the silicone and acrylic portions are joined as one? Video reviews of this case for other phones show the case in two parts.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tkirane:
It is two parts, I think he just means when the case is assembled it is as one.

Either way, its a good case, had it on my Incredible 2 and it took a beating. no damage to my phone though, still looks new.

As previously mentioned, the silicone attracts lint like no other, so cleaning is necessary.
