Nevermind, everything is solved!

Now I have a beautiful rooted Xperia Pro with stock, which I heard it's the most stable and fast rom.

But now I have other questions...

First of all, what are all the tweaks I can make to make it even faster... (links please)

And the themes from arc and neo should work for pro without a problem also, right???
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Use zeppelinrox's V6 Supercharger. Follow rexstor's guide. Make sure you read the original thread first.

Partition your memory card to use it with Link2SD. Follow XperiaBlog's guide to set it up.

Are there any plans for porting the applications permissions revocation system to Cyanogen Mod 9?

I have read that the original developer was planning to port it in January, however no further news have been released. Judging from the comments of several Cyanogen Mod developers it seems this feature is not high priority for the team, however my question is: will you ever approve it?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utonto:
bump... any news about this feature? :confused:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utonto:
Nobody else is interested in this feature apart from me?? :eek:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illidan Pornrage:
Diggin this up Yes me too.

Why the hell did Google not already fix it?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utonto:
I think this is not considered a design flaw neither by Google nor by Cyanogenmod team. Google may have interest in pleasing developers, who make money out of data mining, Cyanogemnod may just be too popular and just need to comply with higher regulations in order to survive.

Probably the best choice would be installing Fdroid: http://f-droid.org and start using Open Source applications.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spidermoon:
I have an old Desire with CM7 and i can set permission per application if i remember. I'm surprised that this feature was remove from CM9 ?

I try LBE, but it's slow the phone and can easily crash.

There is PDroid privacy protection on the market, but it's only for 2.3 and you need to patch the phone.

What i miss is the same SMS/MMS/Phone privacy app built in MIUI. For now, i take extra care when installing new app, double check permission and i use Droid Wall and AdFree to prevent unwanted network access and ads.

Since you put more and more of your life in the phone, i think that a built in permission management and security is needed.

Give the enhancement request a star on Cyanogenmod tracker

There's been a lot of speculations and ambiguous mambo jambo on this that can't be taken seriously. If a developer want's to implement this, there's nobody in the power of stopping it. See feature request in Cyanogenmod issue tracker: code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=6615 and give it a star.

It was never removed, just not ported forward/redone for ICS/JB. Give it a star at code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=6615

Is there any chance for this device to get the new Jellybean?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
Officially, it's highly unlikely... but there will likely be themes if not some ports done by the wonderful developers here at XDA.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] switchblade696:
yeah, I've been wanting to see the performace improvements they claim to have the upgrade to 4.1
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] xJU1C3x:
Judging from the Vivid tech specs...I'm assuming its possible for a ROM/port of JB. But, as far as I would "guess".....I don't think there will be an actual update for the Vivid, as HTC has not yet gotten full AOSP...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kev_cr:
Some people say "yes", some other say "no" and HTC is not answering tweets related to that, actually I think it's possible, we have almost the same hard as One S, and it's pretty sure getting JB, but untill HTC let us know about that officially we'll be just dreaming
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
I would he happy if they would just fix the problems with 4.0.3 - supposedly a 4.0.4 version that is coming/has come to some phones.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] frozo0504:
I want jelly bean bad my friend just put jellybean on his Sony Ericsson play r800x
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rastareefer:
What's the difference between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gotzaDroid:
Just bug fixes. Now, I couldn't tell you what those are though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dopeymha:
in my opinion, the hardware of the Vivid is more than capable of running Jellybean. I used to have a Motorola Atrix 4g (1 ghz dual core) that was like 3 years old and it ran Jellybean better than my Vivid runs Ice Cream. I imagine this was because of Project butter but I think the Vivid would be a ok.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
I have a Samsung Infuse that is a single core 1.2ghz with 512mb of ram that runs jellybean flawlessly

Anyways...looks like h8rift has found the fix for mic and just needs to perfect it...won't be much longer for a stable 4.1 :D

I am very interested in the features of kernels such as DoomKernel, however bacuase of some differences in the ramdisk, most of these alternative kernels do not work with Cyanogen Mod 7 and 9 distributions. Do you have any suggestions about other existing kernles that work with CM on sony xperia arcdevices?

Thank you in advance!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcMan09:
we can usually say that there are no kernels for Cm roms.

except the outdated cm7 doomlord kernel.

for cm9 there are no kernels except its own FXp kernel ,

but u will find the fxp cm9 kernel with some additional Governors. in our android development section
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utonto:
Thank you for your reply ArcMan09!

Now I have it clear that basically there are no prebuilt alternative kernels for CM roms.

Actually what I am interested in is not CPU governors but kernel support for additional filesystems (ext2,3,4,ntfs) and USB OTG. I hope Cyanogen Mod developers can consider adding these modules to the standard kernel at sometime in the future. :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijaykirann:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitbull_Raven:
Hi all.

Arriving fashionably late to the SIII party. Got it day before yesterday and after a long (at least 3 minute) internal conflict about whether or not to void my warranty, I went for it.

Now I find that there are like a bazzilion ROMs already floating arround for the SIII.

So I am asking you, the public, to help me break it down into a list of those worth trying. I suffer from ORD and am jonesing for my next ROM fix :D

What say you, people?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Try them and find out what suits your needs. Same as everybody else does.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitbull_Raven:
There are over a dozen ROM's out there by now. Trying each one is time consuming. I am pretty sure there are both good and not so good ones out there. Hence my question. I'll flash ROMs like crazy. Hell, with my old Desire I think I pretty much flashed them all at some point. But right now I just want to whittle down the selection and try out the most flashed and better ones.

Telling a guy to try out all cars and see which one suites his needs is fine if he already narrowed the field down to 4 or 5 potentials. But telling him to try them all from A to Z is just plain nonsensical.

And right now, I am trying to narrow down the field.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellow95:
+1

And it'll avoid a endless discution about which rom is the best :)

Plus, you don't void the warranty, TriangleAway app is there to return your phone as "fresh" one as it reset the flash counter.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Try the exact same topic that was posted yesterday .

For exactly the same reasons to lazy to search and try wants it all on a plate .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellow95:
Basically, how can we possibily guess what rom you'd like ? As you said, the guy told the other to try them'all exactly because he doesn't know which one will suits him.

I don't have tried so much roms since I decided to root my phones, CM9, MIUI, AOKP and Paranoid are the few I flashed, but I don't flashed them because someone told me so, but because I was curious.

So go ahead, read the description, if you find it interesting, flash the rom and see what happen. That's the best advice I can give you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitbull_Raven:
Fine. Got the message. Thanks for all the help. Really made me feel right at home.

And no, I am not being sarcastic, so don't take it the wrong way :)

Its still charging my phone. And i keep using it meanwhile. I started when phone battery was % 15 and it still run.

Right now battery is 35 and device has lost half of its power. I wrote in the evening final result.

Err ebay forever. U can find out there in a sec. Just search for galaxy note 3500.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] heavenhated:
I picked this charger from Thailand for 1000 Thai Bhat just last weekend.

Can charge the note from 45-60% from 1%.

Feedback:-

Not heavy

Sits like an added cover

Charging takes close to 4-6hrs.(Will confirm after few uses)

Charging is mildly slower compared to USB charging from a laptop or your wall charger.

Great for travelling and can fit into your pocket along with the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] generalife3:
I confirm everything. Can add that it charged my note from 50 to 100 as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] richlum:
The similar power packs I've seen for other phones name them so that the power is the total mAh you have with it attached.

ie. The Note has a 2500mAh internal battery, this pack has a 1000 mAh capacity, so in total your phone now has 3500 mAh of power.

Maybe this one is different, but judging from the size I'd guess 1000 mAh is about right.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] generalife3:
Interesting idea. I will try to disassemble that item to find it out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] generalife3:
Damn chinese there is really only 1000 mah inside.....

Dont buy that crap guyz....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] alanccs:
my experience with this similar gadgets from china 3000mah instead of charging it actually discharged my note. I can't believe! I disassemble it to find out the huge thin battery is something soft like piece of plaster! But i just couldn't figure out why is discharging my phone..but please don't risk your valuable phone with cheap batteries made in china.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Cinthiar:
Yeah, I dont either understand why people buy cheap crap batteries etc to their ~500€/$ phone. Like if you have the money to buy this phone you should have money to buy decent replacement batteries if you need them. :D But it is everyone's own decision if they want to risk burning their phone and in worst case scenario exploding the phone in their pockets. At least I wouldn't dare to risk my phone or my own health with cheap batteries. Peace! :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] bangkay:
tried a similar pack but with "4200mah". fully drains after recharging the note from 10% to 90% plus. and it takes forever to charge since input only allows 0.5A.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] joexda75:
Wow Thank you,

i was considering buying this 4200 power pack but i think i ll just get instead an extra 2700mah battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Adhityairvan:
I have bought powerbank with 5600mAh :) it takes little longer when charging cause output just 1A :silly: but it can fully charged my note for two times :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jasonkhoo87:
It does really 1000mah inside? And also for other brand with 3500? Because im thinking of buying either 3500 power bank or 5400 extended battery.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ruicc:
Hi,

You better say what you've changed....tha's the full style.xml, in res/values....

As you, i'm very interested in how to achieve transparency in ICS roms or Samsung roms. I think i can do that in Samsung roms, but i can't do it in ICS roms, and this is my main interest, because here on xda you got several samsung roms with transparency....

I follow a tuto here in xda and i've PMed several people for help, but no one was able to give a straight answer....or they just don't want to.

The procedure to have transparency is different for Samsung roms and ICS roms...in Sammy roms,(and i not sure about this) i think you got to change framework. In ICS roms, i don't know, as i don't know any ICS rom with transparency.....

For samsung roms, try to decompile a stock framework and a rom with transparency, like VK rom, and open styles.xml and see the differences...the same to contacts.apk or mms.apk.

So, what do you say?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
I've figured it out. I can help you out. I'm using a blacked out contacts apk which when I tweak the styles.xml in framework then uses transparent holo_background png from the framework.

I hope that makes sense.

I'm not at a computer right now but I will upload the contacts.apk which should be cross compatible with all ics roms.

If you guys wanna upload your framework.apks I can package it all up in a zip for you.

The zip I use also morphs the phone apk to get rid of the lines in the dialer.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] massinegro204:
Thank :laugh::good:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] massinegro204:

these are the 2 files extracted from Paranoid Android 1.6. Thank you for your interest :laugh::good:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
paranoid 1.6 transparent framework and contacts

ok making that for you now, brb.

edit :

Done. Flash this, dont worry about backing up (mad I know) this zip will do it all for you, it will place a flashable zip with your original files in "UniversalFlasher" folder on your sdcard, so if you get a bootloop just flash that to fix it. Let me know if it works. I havent tested it as im running an older version of paranoid but it should work fine.

you should look like this :

(60% transparent)

Enjoy

Yesterday I accidentaly removed some files in /data and the phobe immediately freezed.

When i tried to power on the phone i got a boot loop but i was still able to get in bootmenu and recovery mode.

Then i flashed several roms but still i got a boot loop.

then i used rds lite with various sbf including

JORDN_U3_97.21.51

3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC

but the situation is even worse because now the phone shows always a black screen
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepcisko:
I guess you forgot to factory reset. Get into the stock recovery (power off >> hold power + up >> at the screen with android press up + down, wipe everything), reboot.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicktracypa:

and then try whatever you like
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rishi2100:
You have to hold power + vol down to get into stock recovery,

Power + vol up is for bootloader mode.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
1.First check if your battery is charged. Is it charging when charger plugged in? (battery icon with percentage). If not try to charge it with other defy or external charger.

2. If u flashed nothing higher then CG5 then flash chinese eclair (first one u mentioned in the 1st post) then go to this thread, part Common Problems/Questions, use method 2. with slight modification.

1st sbf is just this eclair u mentioned - then u r done for item 1.

For item 5. choose this CM7 (do not flash maniac's CM7 - because of lack of space in the phone)

The modification is do not perform item 6. - simply do not reboot but go to 7. - wiping in CWM.

After u go to point 9. start the system. Now u can flash any CM7 or 9 from CWM
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicktracypa:
First of all thank you for your reply.

Step 2 says: "Root your phone." The problem is that the phone can't boot up after the first step :(. So how am i supposed to root it? :eek:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
So most probably it means that u don't fulfill condition of my 2, point & your phone was flashed with full sbf with CG higher then 5.

Then hope that your defy is either red lens or plus, otherwise u lost your camera.

Here u can find sbfs with download links

This post by walter79 will give u some advice which sbf u can use and which to avoid
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicktracypa:
I've tryed almost every sbf in that page but my defy is still not working.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cman41:
Can you please show us what SBF's you flashed?

By what i see you probably bricked your phone.. next time you get bootloops dont flash all sbf's you see with panic, come here and you will get help
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
Exactly. Unfortunately there are some posts which say 'try all sbfs untill u r lucky' instead of 'read first to understand sometimes there is no way back'

@Dicktracypa - hope it is still a chance to bring your defy back to life, but give us info colleagues above aksed for
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicktracypa:
It's a green lens device

The first sbf I flashed was the first one in this page http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php

The phone got struck on motorola logo. Then I flashed other sbf in that page with the same result.

After flashing JORDN_U3_97.21.51 my defy seems dead: the backlight remains off when i hold the power button.

next time I'm not buying another motorola phone, that's for sure! :D:D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicktracypa:
That's exactly what happened. :crying: Anyway I should have read more thread before doing anything. I can't blame no one, that's only my fault ;)

Thank you for your help guys :o
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cman41:
hehe agreed, same here P:

After reviewing the list you showed us here this are all froyo/eclair SBF's means their CG's are not higher than 4, means you could even flash the great clear cee nordic to revive your defy(dont try it now though after the JORDN_U3_97.21.51). Thats really weird that your phone died after JORDN_U3_97.21.51, maybe out of battery? could you try to get another battery? maybe load it in an external charger? i dont see any reason for the phone not to boot up normally.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
I cant check now but maybe someone knows which CG is the first sbf in the list? I mean JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz

Is it a limit or the one mentioned already in the first post i.e. JORDN_U3...51 which is CG5?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cman41:
i already checked it its CG 4, all of the page you showed me are CG 4

But since you already flashed the chinese eclair rom which is CG 5 dont try to flash anything else but that, your phone should be able to boot just fine with that one.

Is your battery charged?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
And once in the past I had a problem with mentioned chinese eclair causing bootloops or being extremely laggy (mean minutes to do anything) and it was caused by not wiping dalvik cache.

U can get into its bootmenu for wiping by powering the phone with vol- till yellow triangle shows up and next by pressing vol - and vol+ simultaneously.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicktracypa:
Ok I know I should stop flashing random SBFs but I have a already bricked device so there's nothing to loose.

My last try is a defy plus sbf (DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTIT008.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTIT_P018_A020_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz) and guess what?

Now I have a red M logo and I'm able to get into recovery and wipe the cache. :D:D:D

Anyway I still have a bootloop :crying::crying:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cman41:
are you sure you performed a full wipe?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicktracypa:
in the recovery I have

-"wipe data/factory reset"

-"wipe cache partition"

I did both
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
Get into Advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Then you can repeat wipe cache again.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicktracypa:
what do you mean by getting in advanced??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cman41:
while in cwm recovery there is such option
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvoytex:
bricked defy

Do`nt give up. From my experience I know that defy is resistant to stupidity and hard to die. I had a similar issue but, with a little hand of forumers, my defy is still alive. Btw I`m sure if you wipe dalvik cache your cell should go back to live :fingers-crossed:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicktracypa:
the problem is I dont't have cwm recovery and i can't install it because the phone doesn't boot up.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cman41:
Ok i see. Although of that you still have stock recovery. While phone is off hold vol down and then power it up. Keep holding vol down untill you see triangle, when you see triangle push vol down and vol up at the same time and you will get to stock recovery. Then you wipe data/factory reset and then you wipe cache. Good luck
