[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Joshh465:
Hey y'all,

I'm going to feel like a bit of an idiot writing this given I've been using the XDA forums for close to 2 years now, but why should I install a custom 3rd party kernal?

I've unlocked my bootloader (finally) to get android 4, and as I understand I can now install custom kernels if I so wish. I'm not too bothered about the process or requirements for doing it, I'll cross that bridge if/when I get to it xD

I understand it can really mess up your system too, so why should I mess around with it for only (minor?) Improvements?

Also, why do custom ROMs have their own kernels? How does a ROM interact with a kernel?

I'm sorry if these is a really stupid questions. Just one of the few things I've wanted to ask for a while now :')

Any good replies will be rewarded with internet cookiez!! Or a click of the like button, you decide and write which you want in the reply xD

Thanks in advance guys :)

Using custom kernels with custom roms enhance tha rom cos most custom roms work more better on custom kernels...

A custom kernel can be pre-rooted, support OC, vpn support & many more... Some Custom kernels re better dan stock kernel is terms of battery life, smooth & respond!

Messing with tha system can help alot by removing bloatware which slows tha phone & occupy spaces & also customize yur mobile to yur taste!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] evilbarcode:
For the most part, using a custom kernel or the stock kernel is better for a variety of reasons. Mainly, the custom kernels are usually always better than the stock they are based on. They generally run smoother and faster. Yes they are definitely improvements, whether they are small or big, they are still improvements.

Depending on if you are going to use CM roms or even AOKP roms, over stock roms (roms based on stock firmware) will depend on the need of a custom kernel. If you want to run CM or AOKP then yes you will have to use a custom kernel. If you are just running a stock rom, whether it is based on stock or it is the stock firmware, then you dont necessarily need a custom kernel, the stock kernel will work.

But if you want my input, then i would say go for a custom kernel anyway, even if you are on stock. The benefits out weigh the drawback if you can even call them drawbacks.

Hope I've helped,

Cheers,

Evil.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ens04:
As everybody here already knows the Kindle FIre is limited to its 8GB.

I rooted, installed TWRP (made a backup), and installed an ICS ROM. So far everything works great and I am very pleased.

What I would like to know is, do I have to keep my backup on my Kindle? or can I move it to my PC or some sort of cloud service(dropbox/google drive)?

I would really like more space especially since the backup is around 1GB
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
I just keep one backup on the Kindle. I delete older backups.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
You can move it out of the KF to save space.

As a side note, 1GB sounds like a lot - either you have a ton of stuff in /data or you didn't check the Compress option when creating the backup.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trunks2016:
Hello, I'm new here & I have a question about Upgrading my Rooted LG Nitro HD to the Leaked Android 4.0.3 (ICS)

My main question is will my root be lost when I root. & If so I would also like to know will I loose the ability to tether as well?

It took me some time to figure out to tether without that blasted AT&T warning coming up saying I didn't pay for the service. I use Straight Talk on my LG Nitro HD so I can't activate it any other way.

So I guess to summarize I want to know if I upgrade, will loose my root? & If I do loose the root, will the settings I modified be restored to AT&T default shutting down my tethering ability?

Thank you for any help :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apex:
Yes, you will most likely lose root as well as tether. Did you set to tether using some sort of script, and if so can you backup settings somewhere and adb pull the backup from your device ready to push after re-rooting?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
You can use a free play app called "ota rootkeeper" which often keeps root intact after ota updates.

http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=34212

My university uses WPA2 Enterprise encryption for their WiFi network. Previouly with ICS, I could connect to the WiFi network without problem. However, I can no longer connect to it after upgrading to Jelly Bean ( both 4.1 and 4.1.1, tried both ICS and JB radios ). Checked with a few other people on campus with Galaxy Nexus, and they have the same problem too.

So far I don't have any problem with any other WiFi encryption. I'm using WPA2 Personal at home, and it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Infestor:
My uni uses WPA2 Enterprise (EAP/MSCHAP) but everything is working smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shockem:
It should work as it works for me. Use the 802.1x EAP option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsekh501:
Have been. My school has detailed step-by-step instruction for connecting to the WiFi network for Android phones. It had been working perfectly fine before the Jelly Bean updates. Somehow Jelly Bean broke it. Perhaps it breaks only certain types of authentication methods.

For reference, my school employs the following:

EAP method: PEAP

Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
We use PEAP and MSCHAPv2 at work. I'm not having any problems since upgrading to 4.1 and then to 4.1.1. It does appear the update broke something for you but I can confirm that the authentication method does still work.

Have you tried completely removing the wifi connection and creating it again? Or a full wipe of the phone? Of course that shouldn't be necessary, but it would be interesting to see (you can always take a nandroid backup and try). I did a full wipe of everything before upgrading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsekh501:
It isn't just me. All my friends who are using Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean (stock or not) are experiencing the same problem. Not really knowledgeable about WPA2 Enterprise encryption. It could be Jelly Bean changed something and it is no longer compatible with my university's implementation (and also the people who reported the same problem in the link I posted)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
Works fine here for me. PEAP as EAP method. In fact works slightly more reliable than ICS. In ics I would get sometimes get authentication errors, disconnections. Now, don't really face them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thagov:
Im haveing the same problem as the OP at work... everybody at work with 4.1 can no longer connect to wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stegg:
i have this issue.

i get "getting ip address" but nothing happens, it never gets connected. wpa2 enterprise, with and without personal certificate

i made a fresh install of JB 4.1 - bought the phone yesterday therefore i immediately profit of the upgrade, lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sir_Oliver:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsekh501:
I'm happy to report that the fix provided by Alan Jeon in the link I posted above solved the issue. My WiFi works perfectly now.

The fix requires replacing the wpa_supplicant file under system\bin. It can applied using the zip file provided in the link through clockworkmod recovery, or, if you have root, manually replacing it.

Developers many want to include this fix in their custom Roms. I'm not sure how to do it with stock and unrooted Nexus. If you know how to do it, maybe you can write a post for future reference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] odim31:
Hi,

Thank you for the post, I had the same problem since I updated my Gnex to jelly bean 4.1 (authentication problem when trying to connect to the wpa2 network at the office even though it was perfectly working with ICS), after that I updated my phone to 4.1.1 thinking that it will solve the problem, but nothing.

And then I tried the solution shown in your link, and voila!!! :victory: it's working great. Thank you so much for the post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyz:
If I apply this patch will I lose the ability to do OTA updates (would the OTA check for a patched wpa_supplicant and prevent the upgrade)?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
I figured this was a long shot, but one of my RHOD's is stuck on the white HTC screen (the first one that pops up after booting).

Now I

can

get to the tri-color boot screen. I have been able to flash via USB and SD, however no matter what I flash it fails.

The device does have hSPL applied. I have tried flashing EnergyROM, just radio's, stock ROM's (which includes radio, ROM, etc... all of it!), task29... nothing seems to actually fix it. Every time it just goes back to hanging on that white HTC logo.

So any ideas? Anything I haven't tried? I am hoping it's not bricked since it does turn on, and I can flash... Thanks!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wizardknight:
Does it give any errors when it fails to flash? Have you tried another SD card? Have you formatted your SD card with the HP tool? Have you tried sacrificing a demon goat? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQbxmXilRew

Your nand memory might be toast if even task 29 fails. All it does is wipe the nand memory.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Caldair:
This is a real longshot, but it looks like you have tried everything else. Can you re-flash HardSPL? Or maybe try to downgrade hSPL and then upgrade again?

I really want to help (even if giving arrrghhh advice seems so backwards!) but can't think of much else you haven't tried.

You have CDMA right? so no SIM... On my GSM I would try to boot with SIM inserted to see if it makes any difference...

Sorry, if I have any major brain waves I'll be back.

Oh! Can you flash a NAND Android ROM? I read about some people with HD2's that could flash android/WP7 but everytime they flashed WM it would freeze at the white screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
This was a tester phone, wasn't even used that much... But I guess the guy before me could've burned it out.

Also, I see I wasn't so clear in my OP. No errors, everything flashes fine. task29 flashes fine. ROM's flash fine. Radio's as well... everything seems great until you try to boot the damned thing.

Not sure what vid that is, I'll check it out later. Thanks.

Well thanks for at least tryin ;). I haven't tried messing with hSPL, but I guess since that's now semi-open I can try without much risk of not being able to go back (used to be a big issue...)

I do have CDMA, but these are 'world-phones'. So they have SIM slots... that's a good point, maybe I should try without the SIM - as my 'main' TP2 doesn't have a SIM and has never had such problems. This one came with the Sprint SIM which I've never used either, but for whatever reason I've kept it around :p.

I'm pretty sure I tried putting LK on the phone, and the same result. It's been a while since I've tried to flash anything on it tho, so perhaps I'll try that again.

Thanks for the advice, I'll get back to you :).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wizardknight:
Does it just sit at the loading screen or will it not go beyond the tricolor screen?

It's a long shot, but I have a flash that does nothing but change the white htc screen to something else. It is small. Might be worth a try to see if that works.

I have heard of the sim chips causing issues, but have never experienced them myself. No harm in pulling it out of there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Yea, when I task29'd I think it changed this screen to say Touch Pro2 at one point... Stock ROM flash changed it back to the white HTC logo.

I can always make it past the tri-color screen - however, I never get past the 'initial' boot screen. I'll try just flashing that just for grins tonight.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wizardknight:
What I posted will not put any OS on there. It will let you see if you are writing to the nand at all though. So if you see a new boot flash screen, you are getting somewhere.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Caldair:
... another longshot. After you flash a rom etc. and it fails to boot perform a hardware hard-reset. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK, END and POWER then release and press VOL UP when you see the message.

I don't know, this probably won't help since I can't see anything surviving Task29... but I'm grasping at straws at this point...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
OK, sorry that took so long... I've been slackin :p

Flashed the new boot logo, looks cool... but still frozen. Then I flashed EnergyROM, no dice. Did a hard reset (thanks Caldair forgot about that key sequence)... still no dice.

I guess I'll try relocking, can't hurt at this point.

Edit - wow, relocking seems to have done the trick. It downgraded the bootloader, and then the stock ROM updated it. I am now getting the red text at the bottom of the first boot screen... It seems to be proceeding to WinMo! Unbricked!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wizardknight:

You aren't alone, because I too can't get DSP Manager to work. However, I can't get ANY apps that adjust the DSP settings to work on CM9. I personally have used AudioFX for quite some time on Gingerbread on my Galaxy S II LTE (called the Skyrocket on AT&T) and it worked fine on the OFFICIAL release of ICS from Rogers. However, it doesn't work on CM9. So the problem doesn't appear to be DSP Manager itself, but rather something in CM9.
