Hi friends, I may sound dumb to you, but I need your help in rooting and installing custom ROM on my Sony LWW

My Phone = Sony Live With Walkman WT19i

Bootloader Unlock allowed = Yes

Sim Lock = all 0

Android version = ICS 4.0.4

Build no =4.1.B.0.431

My Computer = Windows XP

Now, I want to install custom ICS ROM on my phone.

Please, please guide me through one by one step and tools needed to do so.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phazax:
most of the custom ROM needs an unlocked bootloader, and your device seems not unlocked yet,

go to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and follow the instructions to unlock it, good luck ;)

For ics custom Rom for Locked Bootloader search MiniCMSandwich or Real Ics Lite in development section and follow the instructions to install

(make sure you wiped in clockworkmod what they tell in the thread to wipe) :)

If you like MIUI there should be a miui Rom for Locked Bootloader, search for it in development, too!

How much time takes to enter on deep sleep mode?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Depends on a lot of things, but generally it should be pretty instant provided nothing is going on. Wake lock is when something is active while screen off, preventing deep sleep. Some things that can cause no deep sleep:

Push notifications

Checking for updates, email, Facebook, twitter, tapatalk etc can do this

Rogue app running

Any number of other things can cause deep to not happen including kernel support for it.

Hi people,

I've searched the forum for an answer to my question, no joy so here goes on a new thread.

I recently bought myself a Chinese dual sim smart phone, named "Longhorn" (no sniggering!), but pretty sure it's better known as a STAR MTK6573. Great phone for the money, 1GB processor, all the bells and whistles. My problem is that I want to use two sim cards, one from a British network, one from a Norwegian network. Right now I'm in Norway and the Norwegian sim is working faultlessly, the British sim works when the phone is switched on first, but then after varying amounts of time the British sim drops out of service. If I turn the phone off, then restart the UK sim comes back into service but again goes off after some time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hours.

I've looked through the sim related settings but can't find a solution, and even contacted the British network operator to see if they know any answers - they don't.

I'll be going to the UK shortly so it'll be interesting to see if the Norwegian sim starts cutting service when I'm there, in the time being does anyone have any ideas for a permanent solution?

Thanks to all for reading, and musing on the problem, in anticipation.

Jon :confused:
[Networking] sapsa:
Did you try switching the SIM-Slots ?

Are both using same freq ?

Did you used Sim-Turbo or other "perfect unlockers" ? <- im asking because after using one of those "great" inventions my SIM started to droping signal on diffrent phone (like the X-Turbo/X-Sim/Sim-Turbo) install some junk on sim...
[Networking] modelman1968:
Dual Sim

Hi, thanks for your answer. I haven't installed any sim "enhancing" software, and the phone is brand new. Swapping the sim slots doesn't seem to make a difference, even though only one is WDMA. I think the problem is to do with roaming from my UK sim, when the signal strength drops out the sim loses service to the roaming network, but doesn't reinstate the service when signal improves.
[Networking] modelman1968:
Update

OK, so a little progress was made! The phone only has the option to set one of the SIMs as 3g. The local SIM was set as the default and therefore had the 3g setting applied to it. If I force change the 3g to the roaming SIM the roaming SIM stays in service for longer, and is more stable but still loses service periodically (at least twice a day). Any further suggestions?
[Networking] modelman1968:
Dual Sim while roaming - solved

OK, so I now have a working dual sim phone using two networks from two different countries. My initial headaches were all caused by the overseas network SIM. Either faulty or incompatable but after a SIM swap from the network company it now works faultlessly.

[Android Apps and Games] patriotaki:
i figured it out! you must download the SD files.Just install the game normally and download the files from here MOD EDIT: URL removed on your pc.

Later connect your device to your computer , extract the files and copy paste them in this location mnt/sdcard/Android/data .

Run the game and you will be able to play

After updating my prl, i only get 1x. Afterwards I tried manually changing prl to roam on verizon through qpst. But afterwards i get frequently disconnected from 3g. No matter what i change to it gets disconnected from 3g unless i update through phone automatically. But, of course, when i do that i only get 1x.

[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
I think I fixed it. I switched my EVDO mode from "CDMA only" to "Automatic". This is how I did it:

1) Dial ##3282#

2) Select Edit Mode

3) Enter MSL (I think you need to contact Sprint to get it)

4) Select EVDO

5) Select Preferred Mode

6) Select Automatic

7) Press the menu key

8) Select Commit Modifications and your phone will automatically reboot

10) Update profile

Still not as fast as 21089 was but I've got "3G" back over my data icon instead of "1x".

Obviously the new data plans following suit of the other carriers in killing unlimited, reducing data costs to Big Red is nothing new. The fact our Thunderbolts have been having all kinds of data drop issues (regardless of ROM) is just evident they're even further making efforts to eff us in our rears. I've been eligible for an upgrade for some time but am obviously holding out to maintain my unlimited.. but now I find myself trying to find a Verizon phone elsewhere (craigs list, ebay, etc) just so I don't have to upgrade via Verizon.

Is it true even if we purchase another phone on our own, in activating it, they'll force the change?

Anyone have any recent ROM/radio recommendations that are stable? I swear, it doesn't matter what I flash, my TB is slowly dying and I the conspiracy theorist in me tells me Verizon has placed some moles in the dev community to eff up our stuff (unlikely but possible).
[Thunderbolt General] xgonzox:
You will only lose your contract if you use your upgrade with them. You can activate any compatible phone on your current contract without losing any of the features (unlimited data) the only exception being for anyone currently on a 3g device cannot activate a 4g phone.

I am using SkyRaider and average around 5gb a month of data usage and haven't noticed any more data lag or drops than normal.
[Thunderbolt General] Watoy:
Wait so if I buy a Verizon phone from CL or Ebay I can use my current plan on my TB?
[Thunderbolt General] PhillyCheez:
Yes. I just switched from the thunderbolt to a eBay inc 4g yesterday.

My plan is expired too on month to month. Unlimited forever and no contract.
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
Actually, their just out to make money, like businesses are supposed to do. Things change. This is actually going to lower my bill because after i get my replacement, im dropping the insurance. Wont need it, buy phones on ebay, keep unlimited. I dont need latest and greatest. Dont like the new galaxy, feels cheap. In another few months, ill pick up a rezound
[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
Saying they're out to get us doesn't mean I don't understand their position or their motives, haha. Heck, I'd do the same thing. Glad to hear though that I can still get my own devices and activate under the same plan, that alone can keep me on Big Red so it's much appreciated. I'll also check out SkyRaider, last I tried, I had issues but don't remember what they were. Thanks all.
[Thunderbolt General] Mysticdroid:
They aren't 'out to get us'. They just want to give you as little as possible while charging as much as possible. The fact that there isn't competition in the cellular market means no one is fighting for customers. Just wait 2 or 3 years and Verizon will be broken up like AT&T before... If we're lucky that is.
[Thunderbolt General] santod040:
They are definitely and obviously in the this game for PROFIT, MONEY, DINERO, MOOLAH, etc,......!!!

Look at the hard facts.

Quite eye-opening really, in case you didn't have a real picture as to HOW much they are really making on us while giving us less.

I just don't think I'll ever appreciate them removing Unlimited data. It may help some people.

But It doesn't make things cheaper or better in my situation, but so long as I can buy retail and not ever be forced over, I'll stay.

The day they force me into a new contract after my current one is up, I'm out.

Just thought I'd post that link for their earnings report from this Quarter, as they just released it and it pretty well sums up this thread.
[Thunderbolt General] Az Biker:
Just talked to Vzn cust serv, they said (for whatever it's worth) that if you upgrade using the disc phone price, you'll be switched over OFF unlimited. To keep unlimited you csn purchase Vzn offered phone at full retail w/out contract, or privately purchase any Vzn compatible phone and activate w/out contract. I asked what stops Vzn in three months from saying "you have no contract with Vzn, buy our new plan or we'll drop you"... She said, nothing stops them from sayinv that, Vzn isn't bound by a contract. Either way, my TB runs so well, I have no problem keeping it another year, maybe two!

Running Thundershed v1.6_CM7.2, imo lean kernel 6.2.1 (#1 normal -undervolted, 184-1408) with the .9 radios... Got 6hrs of uninterrupted use, a few days ago. (Internet, tons of YouTube videos, online games, text/calls, FB, phone gaming, etc. jumping from one to the other) just to see how long it would go. 6hrs 11min with 18% batt life remaining. 15 hrs heavy-moderate use with 29% batt life remaining. This is w/out 4G (not avail here yet) and using Rezound standard batt... Even without the better battery life, the TB works very well in this config, and operates incredibly smooth, and very reliably.

Is it worth running with my smooth TB another year to keep $300 in my pocket and not lose unlimited pkg (upgrade)? Or is it worth keeping $500-600 in my pocket (not paying full retail just to have a newer, slightly better phone)? ABSOFREAKINLUTELY worth it! Well played Quietly Rooted TB, well played.
[Thunderbolt General] Shadow Death:
How about this thought. I'm on a shared 10GB plan with 3 other phones. I noticed that Verizon made sure that there was NO way to disable that stupid backup service that I can find. So it sounds to me like they're TRYING to make people go over their limited data plan if they can.
[Thunderbolt General] johnneej:
correction

As long as you are a member of the account online then backup assistant is free every month, and they say it is airtime free.. its only your contacts and its done over cellular ( not data plan ) - i have a dumb phone on my account and they have their backup ( no data )
[Thunderbolt General] ece4free:
I had a recent experience which may shed some light on the situation. I have a TB with unlimited data, but until recently, that was part of a family plan through my parents (for convenience.) Well, without realizing what they were doing, they got manipulated by a VZW salesperson to change their family plan to the bundled data plan - in exchange for two free smart phones and a free hotspot device. Of course, my unlimited plan went byebye as a result. I calmly called customer service the second I heard they had gotten smart phones and explained that there had been a mistake, and that the plan change was supposed to exclude my phone.

Well, the CS person was very helpful, and offered to remove my line from their account, and restore the unlimited data on a new account under my name, at the 2008 (when I had gotten a smartphone originally) single-subscriber price. It barely took any coaxing, and she was quick to offer me that compromise, after I suggested my parents had been purposefully misled (which I am sure they were - I figure the salesperson gets a bonus for every unlimited line he scraps.)

My point? If they still have the ability to create an entirely new account with unlimited data based on prices from 4 years ago, I am sure that they can still renew the unlimited contracts if given a good enough reason. I suppose the trick is coming up with a good reason...
[Thunderbolt General] c5satellite2:
You can keep unlimited data as long as you don't get a new subsidized phone. Pay full price for new phone and you can keep unlimited data.
[Thunderbolt General] santod040:
Yeah that's pretty common knowledge by now I think.

My concern is when will that option end?

Once my current contract is up, there's nothing carved in stone that says they won't change things.

They could very well decide to try and force anyone with a smartphone on their network into a new data plan or simply only offer you voice.

I guess I just wonder how long will they allow grandfathered Unlimited data users to keep that, beyond their contract end date.

Nobody really knows.
[Thunderbolt General] PhillyCheez:
I guess ill see first .. I'm on month to month right now with unlimited.
[Thunderbolt General] Az Biker:
Yep, that's the caveat of unlimited data ; no contract. Technically, 5 minutes after you end your contract by buying a full retail phone, or keeping your existing phone (as I plan to do), Vzn can disconnect you and bill you for 5 minutes ;) Obviously they wouldn't do this, but no contract means no promises.
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
razr maxx is old now yet full retail hasnt changed. does anyone sell brand new smartphones at lower prices as they age? best buy certainly doesnt. I prefer not to deal with private sales through ebay or swappa but would deal with amazon or new egg or a well know dealer online. a brick and mortar store would be my preference but it appears they only put phones on sale with a plan, never put brand new no contract phones on sale.
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyco2008:
Yeah Verizon's phone prices are high. The Droid Incredible, till the day it was discontinued, costed $549.99 or whatever full retail, even though new Droid Incredibles were going on eBay for half that. And damn, the Droid Charge is $99 with 2 year contract RIGHT NOW. So is the Galaxy Nexus.

If I can talk a rep into giving me unlimited data or rather letting me keep unlimited when upgrading, well I would not be totally against organized bribing, sort of like tips for waiters and waitresses, of course we know that's not happening.

Too bad Verizon doesn't have an S in its name, I, along with everyone else on here would replace that S with a $ so fast...

Well to be fair Alltel is costing Verizon more money than it has to spend, it's basically a whole other network.

What's their excuse for kicking off legacy Unlimited Data subscribers? They'll need one to keep a lot of us from fleeing to Sprint or whoever else is reasonable.
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
Does alltel have 4g? As far as i knew, the only thing i had was my plan, the network is verizon
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
Just saw this, http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...s-news+(DroidForums.net+News+::+Android+News)
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyco2008:
When Verizon bought Alltel, it also had to assimilate Alltel's towers, and since Alltel is all 3G CDMA, if Verizon ever wanted to shut down the 3G network and move to VoLTE (which they will do eventually), they'd first have to get everyone onto 4G, which means kicking out the Alltel people..or at least making them upgrade.

[Thunderbolt General] bpyazel:
"In addition, the company recently revised its service offerings such that consumers on usage-based pricing plans may tether, using any application, without paying an additional fee. "

Has this started yet?
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
More interesting than tether was the wording of tje fcc ruling. It could imply they cant lock bootloaders anymore for anyone on that spectrum
[Thunderbolt General] tburns:
Verizon bought Alltel for their remote coverage of low populated area, ie south Dakota. Verizon didn't have the remote coverage they needed to claim, can u hear me now..

When I travel, and yes to very unpopulated areas I have to go Verizon as others Don't have coverage at all. That's the only reason I'm with them.
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
My exact reason for staying also. I rely on the phone to work in rural areas. The xompetition, att, spront, tmobile, all flat out suck when out of big cities. Uscellular is the only one ive seen with decent rural coverage
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyco2008:
Regarding free, legit tethering on Verizon, they did that with the Share Everything plan, they advertise that as a perk to moving away from Unlimited data and Family Share plans. Who knows how many people fell for it.... But I know they violate the 700Mhz spectrum agreement on a lot of things, locked bootloaders and anti-tethering actions among the most talked about.

Anyway +1 to that, US Cellular is the closest to matching Verizon's coverage,
[Thunderbolt General] WalkerGFX:
Just wanted to put in our two cents and say we were also told as long as you purchase the phone for full price or privately and activate it yourself you won't lose Unlimited Data if you have been grandfathered in. Can someone also confirm that they were told this as well?
[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:
I was told buy phone out right or buy a certified like new device

Buy off ebay,craigslist,

Don't buy from amazon for a penny

That's contract pricing

As long as you do not buy by contract pricing all is good*

*rules change daily ,call a csr and confirm for yourself
[Thunderbolt General] carstairs:
This is correct. Basically, the unlimited plans aren't available anymore as a contract option, so if you buy a discounted (with new contract) phone, you have to get something else. Buying a phone at full retail from them is just buying a phone, it's yours to do what you will: activate it without any change to your contract, leave it in the box and look at it, use it as a coaster, etc. Buying a phone from somewhere else without a contract (Amazon, eBay, Craigslist, neighbor Bob) is the same way.

That said, once your contract is done, it's done. If Verizon wakes up one morning only to find out that its favorite baseball team lost last night, that's all it needs to end unlimited data if you don't have a contract. You're free to leave for another provider and they're free to get rid of your month-to-month plan. Just staying on the same device or not signing a new contract cannot guarantee you unlimited data, nothing can (except for a new contract, but of course there are no more Verizon unlimited contracts).

Today i tryed after all Custom kernels , just me , stock kernel and sense :D

This rom is old but smooth , and ram is normal , about 75mb free when running all HTC goodies ;D

And i just think , now we have kernels , tweaks etc , so we can made this rom better , for like nAa kernel , and remove all unneeded apps , old libs , update apps , fix wifi , fix network net , root acces and sd is safe to remove bug , now we can do it , why not? Sense UI is so beautiful :)

And again i will say , the rom is fast as hell , even on stock , just imagine how it will work fixed and with all new tweaks on custom kernel!?

I think you get my idea , so , i dont have knowagles to fix it , but maybe someone who can and love sense like me, will do it?
