I've been caught out by the 10 post restriction on the Developer threads, but usually found the answer after a quick search or just waiting a day or so to see if the same query gets raised.

As for incrementals, good idea for those that are coming from that base ROM, but not much for those that are flashing it for the first time.

Unless you want a new base ROM, and the incrementals? In which case poor Mr Dev does enough work already!

ARHD on my One X is working fine so far. I have the odd issue with not seeming to be able to connect over mobile data, but it is WAAAY less often than when it was stock. Pretty poor from HTC to release their flagship with so many radio based problems.

Meh. Mondays
[HTC One X] mattspew:
Phew, glad I'm not alone with my frustration about captcha and post limits. Thought I might have seemed agro.

Incremental only on same base. Ie; 9.0.0 to 9.1.0. Seems silly downloading the whole 500mb for minor changes.
[HTC One X] \/\/iLLow:
Hahaha, made my night :D

Yeah, i also hated the unreadable Captcha o_0
[HTC One X] mattspew:
Yep, just a pointless post to get my count up...
[HTC One X] blahquader:
I´ve got the "Point-2-Problem" too ;)

Well, after reading nearly 300 sites in the ARHD Thread, i sometimes saw the same Questions by many Users with XXX Posts.

This let me doubt the 10-Post-Regulation, but i can also understand that the developers are herried about noob Spam...

Anyway... i think every noob can get a custom rom on a HOX by reading the Thread, just some Time is needed.

But it would be really nice when a newbie could also ask or share some experience, even on a brand new ROM like ARHD 9.1.0.
[HTC One X] rshpat1:
It is just to keep the thread clean is what I feel. Don't forget that everyone isn't a techie and might just post a dumb question upon registering.

BTW, I have never had to post a question since same is posted atleast once. If not, combining a couple of posts definitely answers my question :laugh:

Trust me, I am on 9.0.0 and it's worth waiting.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a ROM for my HTC Desire which could receive the OTA update notification once HTC releases the new ICS official version.

Now I have it with superkid's Andromadus build.

What do you think? Should I restore the official 2.3.5 in order to receive the official OTA when released? Or may I use something better till this happens?

Thanks!!!
[HTC Desire S] victorharsh:
Fallout with sense 4.0 and Virtuous Sense 4.0 Full are the best ROMs you can use, as OTA has only sense 3.6 :eek:

choice is your :)
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
For both ROMs - WiFi Theter only works with Adhoc

And: there will be no "OTA update notification" with this ROMs because they are newer (Sense4) than our update (only Sense 3.6)

But it's not clear IF we will get an OTA or a ruu - so flash Fallout if you do not need other than Adhoc-hotspot - and be happy. ;)

You can also flash the leaked Sense3.6 to compare with the 4.0 (and than you will not longer wait for the official update but for the source code for the devs)
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
you don't want to deal with official OTA because it'll never work on a custom rom. and if it did it would brake your root. so forget about it! the same day that it'll be released you can go to xda forum and get yourself a rooted version of it or whichever customized version based on it your heart could imagine. so, don't panic!
[HTC Desire S] ||M^nnu||:
Ok, ok, I understand your opinions, as are the same that mine BUT, I'm giving the phone to my cousin and believe me when I say that she won't be looking for updates at XDA when (if) HTC finally release the official OTA update..

And of course I don't want to be such a tech service for this phone forever, and custom ROMs are always improving new versions, etc.. but there is always a bug to deal with.

I have been using Fallout for the last month, best ROM right now for the Desire S, but without wifi tether.. I can't give her the phone with it.

I think I'll return the phone to stock ROM and if HTC finally give us an ICS update, I'll install the RUU and forget about more mods to the phone.

Thank you all!!
[HTC Desire S] broomer68:
You can also get ice-ds 4.2 as that will be almost the same as the expected OTA.

[Captivate General] smeadows82:
I've been searching for a while now and cannot find the answer to my phone being a butt. :-/

Last month (July 16, 2012), my husband rooted my Captivate from Froyo to ICS. He installed RemICS-UX on it and now my notification lights do not work, my front-facing camera does not work, and now the phone will shut off after about an hour after the battery is charged ( I charge while I'm in bed, so it's not good that I use it as an alarm!)

Yes, I'm a noob, so no haters please. My husband can't fix it as he's in the Army; shipped off already and cannot fix my phone :'(

Any help right now would be GREATLY APPRECIATED :D :D

I am technically savy, so I'm not a total ditz ;) I do not know how to flash, however, but will keep searching the forum for help with that :D

About the phone:

AT&T Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) WITH the front-facing camera! It worked before! ;)

Running Devil Kernal RemICS-UX 1.3.1

Hope that helps :-/
[Captivate General] -SGA-:
Never seen one with front Cam before... only the fascinate.
[Captivate General] daskanda:
Well the rom is for phones Without a front facing camera so that's probably why it doesn't work.. You can probably port a I9000 rom and not remove FFC to make it work.... And the sleep deaths were a pretty common issue fixed for some by flashing I9000 bootloaders (bootloaders are very risky to flash so only flash if you really really have to... There's a chance of hard bricking your phone)

And how the hell did you get a FFC on captivate?
[Captivate General] nygfan760:
Not really sure how this is possible. You sure you have the i897?
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Maybe if you took a picture of the phone and posted it up, we would be able to better tell what model of phone you have and get you to the place you need to be.
[Captivate General] smeadows82:
Ok. So it must have been a different phone with ffc

I apparently got my phones mixed up; it must be the proximity sensor :-/

Wonder why it keeps trying to open the FFC while in "camera" mode...weird! lol

So the death after charging looks to be a "normal" issue. Thanks for the help everyone!
[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
The person who ported that rom did not have permission to do so. And that said person said the front camera files were removed per the OP, but apparently not...or at least not all. That is, if the rom being referenced is this one... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27347627

And bln was not included in the early versions of that rom.

Or ur hubby might have just installed the original rom as is, not being a ported rom. Either way....it is what it is.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fruity101079:
Hello

I hope I'm not making a double post or something...

So I tried to flash the alliance kernel, but got issues with it.

I tried the stock 1.4 full logo, cm9 full and lite logo

(found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566871)

Each time, I got a black screen after 1st vibration at boot.

And nothing happens.

I tried flashing with flashtool and fastboot command line.

Same problem.

Hopefully, i can reflash the original kernel from original ftf file to make it work again, but why do I got this issue, as when I read all thread, no one got this problem.

ps: Neo V mt11i / 4.0.4 / rooted / unlocked BT
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] venoma333:
I think the newest CM9 is not compatible with the Alliance 1.4 kernel. The kernel is based on the FXP128 kernel. Try flashing the kernel from the cm9 zip.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fruity101079:
Hmm maybe I explained wrong..

I don't want to install CM9 rom.

I just want to flash the alliance kernel (and after, maybe f@stxperia rom)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
how you flash kernel with fastboot command?please explain here what you have and what you do...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fruity101079:
Ok let's try to explain what I did:

I first d/led stock 1.4 kernel (link in 1st post).

I used fastboot command line to flash it.

Flash in 1.9sec, all seems to be ok.

I reboot the phone.

Vibration and black screen.

Have to replace battery to reboot again.

But always the damn black screen.

Then I use flashtool to flash the official ftf file (431 central europe 3), but only the kernel and wipe cache.

Now the phone boot normally.

I tried the other kernels given on alliance post, but always the same screen.

After reflashing with flashtool my BL is locked again (damn it), so tonight i will "test point" it again...

And then, retry another kernel or this again if I found a solution.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
My Bootloader didnt locked again after flashing FTF file with flashtool,how did u can lock again?

My BL will relock if i used restore button on S1tool...

try again till succes....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fruity101079:
Ok, i think there was a mistake this afternoon, because I just check at home, and BL is unlocked, so all is good.

But!.. I just try another kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679771) and also with suave kernel, and guess what...

Black screen again...

I really don't understand...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
Maybe your problem related to this....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22688611

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fruity101079:
thanks for answer, but I think i'm not concerned, because I bought my mt11i "naked", and the bootloader status says unlocking is allowed...

Is there another way (s1tools) to know if BL is unlocked?

(And now, I'm afraid to flash a locked BL custom rom for testing.. lol)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
I unlocked my bootloader via test point. At service menu the status still says bootloader unlock allowed yes, also it is unlocked.

On my lww which I unlocked via official Sony method the status says bootloader unlocked yes.

When you are able to flash a custom kernel than you have an unlocked bootloader.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
I wanted to tell you that i unlocked bootloader of both phones. From live with walkman and the neo v.

Neo v via test point. Service menu still says bootloader unlock allowed yes

Lww via SE Bootloader Unlocking Relocking 1.6 tool (equal to sony method). Service menu has changed to status bootloader unlocked yes

Link to SE Bootloader Unlocking Relocking 1.6 tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560613

Both phones are unlocked and the status is not the same. neo v still has the same status before i unlocked it. i thought that it will change to same status as the lww.

But it's (neo v) bootloader is unlocked, because i could flash a custom kernel (night elf ics 1.4).

1. Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked, if yes how did you do it?

2. Are you sure you downloaded a working flash tool and installed all needed drivers?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fruity101079:
hooo ok ok ^^

1. So yes, I'm sure BL is unlocked, I verified with s1tools and service menu.

2. I think flashtool is ok because I can reflash the stock kernel. But maybe i should check the drivers.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
Really strange behaviour.

I never hat any problems like you.

1. Please take a screen from service menu with the status of your bootloader.

2. Tell us which method you used to unlock your bootloader.

3. Try again flashing a kernel and post us the log fron flash tool.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fruity101079:
I just reinstall drivers and flashtool.

I tried to flash differents kernels but always this black screen.

To unlock BL, I used Testpoint Method.

Here is the message i got:

As you can see, there a strange thing at line 5...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
Hi my friend.

Yeah, line five is the answer to all your problems. Bad blocks at the bootloader are worse. I searched a bit with the help of google and some german forums.

Thats what they wrote down there.

A bad block at a custom kernel results in a not booting rom, while the stock kernel results in a booting rom.

The reason they wrote at at german forum is, that the stock kernel detects the bad sector and marks it to not use it. That's the reason why the stock kernel ist still functioning.

I am no kernel technican and i can't answer you if you can repair your bootloader.

But it would help, if the programmer of custom kernels could also implement a routine for detecting and marking such bad blocks like a stock kernel.

Sorry for bad news.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fruity101079:
Well too bad for me...

But many thanks for searching and finding a answer ^^

(I think I will stop my try for the moment.)

Thanks

I have been using a CM9 nightly over Semaphore kernel for quite some time now. But there's an issue with it lately.

Sometimes when I pull down the notification bar every freezes for a minute or so and then unfreezes itself. In other words, the whole phone hangs and I can't do anything during that period of time.

This doesn't happen every time. I can easily access the notification bar at most times. But sometimes the whole freeze thing happens randomly when I try to pull down the notification bar.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Can this be fixed? What's the reason for this?

Hi, soon i'm going to a vacation and would like to know what to use to access public wifi networks securely to avoid my personal data interception and generally be secure while browsing?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
VPN.

Google superfreevpn, but you will have the check what is the password before you use their VPN, because they change the password every now and then.

Pressed from my Maguro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
Issues I see with superfreevpn:

-Uses PPTP (PPTP a history of insecurities)

-Restricts bandwidth

-Restricts use (no P2P, no torrents)

-8 hour time limit per session

-No idea who these guys are (no guarantee they aren't stealing your info themselves)

As an alternative, you could set up your own OpenVPN server at home. Most home routers can do this easily when using firmware such as OpenWRT, DD-WRT or Tomato, or you can set it up on a computer behind your router. Then you have a secure connection back to your own ISP, so you will have at least the same level of security/privacy you have at home. This is what I do, using OpenVPN for Android on my phone which uses the new VPN APIs introduced in ICS.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Hmmm, this seem to be a better option.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Another alternative is to use Orbot from Google Play store, which implements Tor on Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purpler:
Thanks guys, especially @phazerorg.

Umm while i understand the process of VPN you're talking about, what about data which is first sent to/through public WiFi AP?

WIll look into OpenVPN.

Do you have an article or link for me to get more in depth?

Thanks once again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
If you mean before the VPN tunnel is established, it's true that some connections could be made. I think the best you could do here is to either turn off syncing and don't browse before the VPN is up, or make sure any syncing/browsing uses SSL. A little Google searching seems to indicate that the gmail app uses SSL, so no worries for that. For other apps, you'd want to investigate. Or shut off all syncing so pretty much no connections are made before you connect to your VPN. Once the VPN is up, you can have all traffic travel through it and it just looks like UDP packets of random data to the public wifi.

Nothing specific, but searching Google for "OpenVPN tutorial" turned up quite a number of useful-looking results, including some from the official OpenVPN site. I know there's a GUI app for Windows, and router firmware makes it easy. OpenVPN is popular and open source, so there's loads of resources and a community around it so you shouldn't have any trouble.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
You can allways use opera mini as everythding goes through their servers. I would not trust free vpns as its like using a free access point. Who's to say they arnt looking at your data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Once a VPN circuit is established, all data is encrypted between your device and the server. No one in the WiFi hotspot could read your data, even if they intercepted it. Neither could the WiFi hotspot operators.

The same is true of Tor, with the added benefit that the Tor node operators can't read your data, either, with the exception of the exit node. But the exit node operator can't tell who sent the data, because the packet headers have been stripped and replaced (several times).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
I had issues with OpenVPN. I ended up setting up a linux server with IPSec instead. I just use the built-in VPN connectivity (L2TP/IPSec PSK, to be precise) to connect to my home server.

While TOR might be (arguably) great for "anonymizing", it does nothing for encryption. You can sniff packets from someone using TOR as simply as someone using a direct connection.

Edit: Actually, I need to look into TOR a bit more. Does anyone know for certain if it's endpoint-to-endpoint encrypted? The Orbot Play Store page says nothing about encryption, but rather only mentions the proxy chain effect, which would make my original statement correct.

Again, this doesn't encrypt data, which means anyone in the vicinity can fairly easily sniff packets from you and plainly see your data flowing. Even worse would be people who have their own mobile access point, de-auth you from the public wifi, and then spoof the public wifi. It's actually fairly easy to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Tor is encrypted from your device to the exit node.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purpler:
hmm, TOR seems to be working fine in terms of ease of use and configuration. If everything is indeed encrypted than it's ideal solution for me.

Anyone else has an opinion?

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purpler:
What about man in between issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
If the path is encrypted endpoint-to-endpoint, such as it would be in a VPN (or apparently with TOR... thanks for the info, strumcat, as I assume that applies to Orbot also), then a man-in-the-middle gets nothing. If someone gets between you and the wifi node, they would only see the encrypted gibberish.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purpler:
that being said, TOR (Orbot) it is.

Thanks all!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Yes, Tor is the name of the network itself. Tor Browser Bundle (for Windows) and Orbot (for Android) are provided by the Tor Project and the Guardian Project for accessing Tor. They both utilize Tor encryption and other features, You can always check to make sure that Tor is working by browsing to http://check.torproject.org site.

If you're using Jellybean and want to use the transparent proxying feature in Orbot, be sure to first enable "Use Default IPTables" in Orbot settings so it will work ok. Then enable "Transparent Proxying", and choose the apps you want to use Tor under "Select Apps". That's the easiest way to use it. When you want to use the apps normally again, just turn off Tor.

You can learn more about Tor and Orbot at https://www.torproject.org/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purpler:
yes i did, works great.

Orbot is very elegant solution.
