Hi all,

I'm trying to setup an Android development environment on Linux (Ubuntu)

The instructions I follow atm you can find HERE

I've downloaded and unpacked the Android SDK but trying to install I'm stuck.

It's probably very easy but for me coming from MS Windows I need to get used to all these new terms and commands. :cyclops:

The tutorial clearly explains the following:

'On Mac or Linux, open a terminal and navigate to the tools/ directory in the Android SDK, then execute android sdk.'

I've opened a terminal venster but how do I execute? :D

Sorry for my very noobish question but any help would be highly appreciated.

Grtz, Leo :)

I have unlocked the bootloader successfully but I'm trying to use the fastboot flash recovery and the phone gets to about 90-95 % then hangs up. I have 3 rooted phones but this problem is giving me fits trying to solve. Does anyone have a solution or have found one somewhere???? Ive already installed the .img files for both available recoveries 3 times so its not corruption in the files.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Okay,

So, I broke my Xperia Mini Pro. I threw it off on the floor and it's upper part is broken. The phone is booting alright.

Soon after breaking my phone, my thoughts wandered to Sony Service Center. And before taking it there I wanted a as-it-came-from-the-factory phone. So I formatted the system and data, and tried to flash a CWM Backup. Then, I realized that my volume buttons are not working as the impact broke that part of my phone.

I can enter into flashboot mode and flash a different kernel, but now my system is formatted and so phone will not boot.

I tried to option to flash the system.sin file from flashboot mode, it did not work either.

So, I want to know if there is a way to enter the Flash mode to flash a ftf without having to hold the Volume+ button. Say, via adb?

Thanks,

Rick

Device: Xperia Mini Pro

Current Kernel: Rage Kernel

ROM: None [Formatted /system]

Since I'm not able yet to post into the development forums:

I have decided to finally mod my Xperia S as well (did that only with HTC's before), and after unlocking the bootloader and slap Advanced Stock Kernel on it, i wanted to flash KA09 Xperia SSpeed. At first it all went well, no errors during installation but then i wanted to reboot, and the phone went into a permanent bootloop. There's the Sony startup screen with the Advanced Stock Kernel writing underneath, the blue LED flashes shortly, the phone vibrates, then it starts all over again.

I have tried SEUS but to no avail, since the phone will always restart, hence disconnecting to the PC. I also can't boot the phone into fastboot or recovery, or anything for that matter.

HALP!?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
hold the power button + volume up then wait till it vibrates 3 times, your phone will power off. then you can use the SEUS, i think its via fastmode (power+volume down) to reflash or u can use flashtool to reflash ur firmware.

this is what i did when im stock on bootloop before (because i dont have back ups).

1. installed flashtool

2. download ftf

3. paste the ftf on c:\firmwares\

4. open flashtool then click the lighting icon, choose fastmode, choose ftf and wait until it says (power off phone then connect via fastmode), since your phone is power off all u need to do is to connect the phone and then hold the power button+ volume down.

5. then it will reinstall your firmware.

6. after reinstalled, flash advanced stock kernel.

7. then make back up of your rom so you dont need to reflash your firmware in case of bootloop.

:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MichaelxHell:
now that was a quick reply, thank you very much. will try this and will post how it went! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] halwar:
Same problem

MichaelxHell, did it work, did you solve it?

If you did please let me know how you did because i have the same problem, will try what he said above too.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
it will work because ive been there before :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] halwar:
I was flashing ka xperia kernel (via recovery) over Advanced stock kernel and got this weird bootloop.

Sometimes i couldnt even start the freaking phone. So what i did was when the phone finally started and the botloop started i long pressed Vol Up and powerbutton for about 5sec (after the phone vibrates three times) so it would shut down, since i could not enter fastboot while it was bootlooping. Then held Vol Up (not Vol Down) while plugging in usb, only then i got to enter fastboot.

Then i only reflashed advance stock kernel (ics9.elf) and it finally booted back.

Might be helpful
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tarbrinder:
same problem of boot loop

help previously on ics stock unlocked bootloader via fastboot installed ka v1 kernal via fast boot and ther ka09 nspeed rom through recovery since then its boot loop any solutuion except stock ftf file
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] halwar:
Use fastboot and try flashing Advance stock kernel xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1729280 and see if its booting
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Poesini:
When you go from STOCK STOCK you should first prepare by doing a backup and then erasing everything before even trying to install a custom ROM or another kernel.

When you install a kernel that has recovery, before trying to install the custom ROM be sure to wipe data/factory reset and then wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions.

Then you can install the custom ROM and after that be sure to also install the patched KA09 zip.

And even after that, remember, that is a development ROM not completely stable at all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MichaelxHell:
I have used this guide, and it worked just fine!! my Xperia S is back alive again! :-) Thank you very much for the help everyone!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MichaelxHell:
Okay, so i have flashed the Kernel from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1729280 and it brought my Xperia S back to life. the only problem now is, that the XPS won't boot into recovery. so far the ROM (KA09 Xperia SSpeed) is working fine, but it would be nice to have good old cwm back.. any help? thanks
[HD2 General] xubii:
Ok, here's my case laid out. I've searched the forum to death, so I'm pretty sure what I have here is a head scratcher so I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I bought a used HD2 off craigslist. It came with WP7.5. When I plugged in the data cable (i.e. USB cable), I didn't get a prompt for mounting to SD card. I installed Zune and got all the drivers (going through the MS troubleshooting list), and the phone was able to mount to Zune with only 200 mb. No problem, right? This error is common. I find out that if I use an SD Formatter, I can clear the card, which is 16gb, back to it's original state by mounting the card through MAGDLR.

After restarting the phone, I still couldn't get more storage than the allotted 200 mb, except it had decreased to ~150 mb. My phone was filling up quickly. I researched that, under WP7+, there should be a "connections" option under settings for mounting the SD card through the cable, so I thought "Hey, maybe it's because this flash of WP is missing something." so I reflashed my HD2 to stock rom using a guide.

While as a stock HD2 (T-mobile), I had now 600 mb of space on the phone to use, but I noticed that the HD2 still wasn't sensing my card. Bad card, maybe? So I tried an 8 gb I had, a 2 gb I had, and a 32 gb I KNOW works from my tablet (and still works on my tablet). I decided maybe it was the ROM's fault, so I decided to flash android on it, since I'm used to android from my other phones.

So I follow Jayce's guide and put on the proper HSPL, MAGDLR, the right Radio, and CWM to flash a new android ROM and banish my problems once and for all.

PROBLEM, I'm stuck here because (dope!) even MAGDLR and CWM DO NOT SENSE MY CARD(S). Now I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. Is there a way to get it running at the very least? I know the microSD slot is pretty much the most reliable piece on the phone, so I don't think it's broken.... but maybe it is?

So either a) somebody help me get the phone running with any ROM or b) somebody help me figure out how to get the SD cards working.

Sh*t out of ideas here. :confused:

[edit] OK! I FLASHED IT USING THE OL' HOLD DOWN THE "DOWN VOLUME BUTTON AND FLASH THE STOCK" Could still really use help with the SD card sensing thing though....
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
it wouldn't be the first bad sd card slot reported here, so, reliable it may be, break proof it isn't.
[HD2 General] xubii:
Okay, following what has to be my 5th reformat of the same card, it worked!!!!! I quickly installed android on it. I'm not taking that card out anymore. It'll stay inside :@
[HD2 General] antonizoon:
I had a bad SDCard too, it doesn't work in recovery but does in the ROM... I think you should really think about replacing your card. Flash memory has a limited amount of writes, so I wouldn't be surprised if you lose your data or find it unusable one day.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Almightyman96:
Thanks for your quick reply. Trying it now!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
I am. And here's why:

1. Consistently LOW RAM in ICS, which leads to issues with apps being very sluggish, or sometimes custom wallpapers in Whatsapp/ChompSMS/GoSMS not loading. No such issue in GB. SIM Toolkit takes up 35MB, HDMI takes 50+ MB, etc etc. I usually only have 80-120MB free for apps. A far cry from the 200+ in GB.

2. Low WiFi signal - No such issue in GB.

3. Occasional freeze. No such issue in GB.

I have:

- Done a reset and installed everything from scratch (no improvement)

- Done a clean flash and re-installed everything from scratch (no improvement).

So, back to .75 GB for me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Try another firmware.

Repair with pcc or sus.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] w0ndersp00n:
You're, again, one of the many who is complaining about ICS...

Well if you want to downgrade, that's something you should do. I have to say my experience is just fine. As seen in the screenshot, memory is just fine. SwiftKey is consuming about 60MB of RAM, but besides that there's nothing troubling.

Battery is fine as well. Heavy usage gives me about 17 hours (WhatsApp, GTalk, Browser, Walkman, Google Reader, Facebook, WordFeud).

Also WiFi.. I guess you might be right with that. But I can't say it with certainty, as my WiFi signal has always been low...

I did have to do a complete wipe and remove Google's Backup of my data to make everything work fine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
And here is mine not rooted.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] somemadcaaant:
ICS had been a great experience for me, much smoother over all, issues with GB have been fixed, stock browser is excellent, speaker during call is loud, much better bluetooth, ICS animations, far better keyboard, contact groups, higher bitrate camera and list goes on.

Issues with memory are redundant, wifi signal might appear lower but I've never had drops and I use hotspot for vpn to work on trips.

Battery life is the same for me 1.5 days with medium use.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] metcard:
I already downgraded.

I might upgrade again on the weekend with the rooting guide.

The main problem I had with ics is unacceptable battery drain in standby, with root hopefullyi might be able to pin point the cause and fix the issue.

I do hope Sony are aware of the problems and patch them soon, because ics on the xs is pretty damn good and I miss not having it.

upgraded again. Stock ICS Au Generic via PCC.

I now understand why reviews of this phone weren't so great with it running GB. :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
The battery life on ICS improved a lot after rooting & uninstalling some preinstalled apps. I noticed significant improvement in standby time after uninstalling ANT radio (related services), Update service etc. and many other useless (for me) apps/services which were draining a lot of battery (esp. on standby)! And it also gives a lot of free ram (about 250-350 mb).

ICS has been faster, smoother, better looking (esp small font) without any lags/redraws for me. There are many improved apps and all but also are a few glitches/minor bugs on this ICS build by sony which hopefully shall be fixed soon!

Overall, I would say that ICS is Faster and Cooler than GB, but GB surely is much stable/Reliable wrt current ICS build. I am on CE ICS rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Poesini:
Well if you don't mind trying development stuff, there is this custom ROM already out there which has some tweaks and lots of things removed which makes battery life better by removing programs that would otherwise be running in the background and it will also help speed a little.

Even though, it is a custom ROM. But talking about vanilla ICS i think its just as good as GB. Its common for it to use more RAM as most of newer programs do (Like Windows 7 vs Windows XP) or so, but thats just using the resources we got.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
On the Linux kernel, free RAM is wasted RAM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gparent:
Yes but to cache things you need the RAM in the first place, you can't make it appear out of thin air. Removing some system apps can still help overall.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
That's why some tasks are ended for new ones to start :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
Yes, as you have repeatedly said in multiple threads. However, free RAM on the xps is not wasted, it actually provides a smoother experience and allows Apps to load properly without constant redrawing and cache swapping. It's also not ending tasks for new ones to start as all the system apps which cannot be killed are clogging the ram.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maxboy:
I also rolled back to GB. For me ICS is just a hair smoother, but ICS on Galaxy neuxs is way smoother, so i'm not impressed.

LED notification is not working.

So other than that, the whole experience is just very similar to GB if not the same. after rolled back to GB, i don't miss ICS a bit, lol.

for the Free RAM is waste RAM stuff, i don't offense it because it is Linux, but on my ipad3, still 1GB ram, after boot up, it showed 803MB free, and it just works (fast and smooth inside out), but again they are completely different system, can't say which is better, don't comment on multitasking since they both just work.

BUT hey, Xperia launcher used excessive amount of ram but still not smooth in ICS and GB, what are you caching, app performance in GB is just as good as in ICS, everything is fast but not smooth (compare to my gf's lower spec Galaxy nexus). She asked why and insisted i should pick galaxy nexus, i can't say a word, lol. (but i love XS design and HDMI output)

So, if you don't mind GB is older and encounter many problems in ICS, roll back wouldn't hurt you a bit.:laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mmarekk11:
Do you think there will be any ICS fix from Sony? Becasue toomorrow i am going to buy XS, and i am deciding whether to stay on GB or upgrade to ISC.

Nothing else i care but, wifi signal and camera. I use wifi mostly when i am on my bed, and until now I had always 1/3 signal (HTC Desire S, Xperia U). I am sure on GB it will be the same, but i am afraid what will happen after upgrade on ICS :( I hope i will not have any problems. What do you think?

And what about camera? Has improved with ICS?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
There is an ics update soon...

Wifi on ics is the same as gb,maybe the icon show less bars but connectivity is the same.

Yes the camera has improved on ics.

Why would you want that instead of the task still running (or being cached rather than killed) because there's enough RAM? Thanks for proving my point.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theqkash:
Hello guys. Yesterday there was almost no problem there, I have used my phone normally as always. As always when my battery gone dead after work I have plugged my phone into charger and go sleep. But... at the morning the phone won't ring (eg. the alaram).

I have disconnected it and tried to start it on battery but it failed. Then I have connected it again, so then the orange light blinks few times and CWM Recovery is goint with blinking orange-green light on phone and dissappeared after few seconds, but still blinking. After few seconds it run again, sometimes with only orange light blinking like when battery's dead.

I have MIUI here and I was able to run it few times but it gone dead in ~2-3 minutes and back to CWM. If it is important, only for few seconds from connecting the phone to the charger I've got "charging" message, then it looks normally, but orange light on the phone is stable, looks like charging but MIUI don't "see" it. However, the percentage of battery is going down in seconds.

Is it just dead battery or something worse?

I have tried to wipe battery stats but nothing happened.

The phone cannot do anything when not connected to the charger.

Please help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Killer1desireZ:
Is you have a multi/voltage meter you can try removing the battery and measure the voltage on the battery. Even if its discharged it should measure more than 3 volts.

If it doesnt you probably have a dead battery.

Lol.
