[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nicks25:
Greetings all, I have an Xperia Neo which was running Android 2.3.4 which was running moderately slow. Hence I installed CM9 custom rom.

To do so, I flashed boot.img file using fastboot command using command prompt on my phone and then booted my phone in CWM. Took back up of my current Rom and then installed CM9 rom and recommended apps zips. I tried this rom for 2-3 days and had awesome experience. But it lacks in camera quality, xloud, gesture input etc so I thought to have another custom Rom.

My friend recommended me Xperia Pureness by thilinaC. To have this rom on my phone, firstly I flashed Night-Elf's kernel named Alliance Lite v1.4 using fastboot command on command promp as instructed by ThilinaC. Then booted my phone pressing volume rockers and installed Xperia pureness build 11 and patch for my neo. Tested this rom too but disappointed with it's camera, video recording, 3d camera quality etc. Rest everything is smooth and fast but I am so obsessed with photography so can't compromise over image quality. My Stock rom's camera, video recording etc was awesome. These 2 roms just couldn't beat its quality so far.

Hence now i decided to go back to the old kernel and rom where I will compromise on speed of operation but I ll get excellent music, bravia, xloud and super image quality. :)

So please tell me, how can I revert my neo back? i would be very grateful to u all :)

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
Flash any Gingerbread kernel. Recommend: Night-Elf's kernel for GB, and restore the backup you took before flashing CM9.

Also if you want top start fresh, download a Gingerbread ftf file from the thread in General section by @Madfysh. Download flashtool and read instructions on how top use flashtool. After the flashing process, you'll have stock GB. I recommend flashing a custom kernel to gain root and download superuser from market and update binary
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nicks25:
Thanks for the response but i do not want any third party's kernel. Can u pls give me the link of stock kernel which had come with my mobile when I bought it?

what is top start fresh?

what is update binary? what's the use of it?

:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] hossein7292:
just flash stock ftf roms you can find in dev section by flashtool and that will be all

try googling your questions first :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 3kay945:
pls pal, I want to flash a ccustom Rom but I don't know exact one to take.

my bootloader is unlocked but not rooted.

mt11i

2.3.4
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] hossein7292:
wrong section

in dev section there are plenty of em

try em

me myself almost tried 10 ones and counting !

try and see which one fits your use

AND PLEASE STOP ASKING WHAT ROM TO FLASH :mad:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] @gnel:
Even i wanted to revert back to original stock for all your same reasons..but i did a little research and found out a fix for the purple images problem in custom rom, for my NEO. I flashed that zip file in Pureness rom, and voila that purplish effect was removed. And for your info JJ rom uses stock camera,the original sony one! And all other features like XLoud, Bravia engine works in both the roms.For improved experience with camera recording you can flash the camera libs from the new ICS .587 fw..it increases the frame rate..

u can find the cam libs here....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30313088&highlight=+587#post30313088

and for the camera patch; sorry i am not able to find the link now..i have the downloaded file..and i am a noob on uploading the files. Please take the pleasure in finding the patch :silly:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nicks25:
Well, thanks buddy. And yeah Pureness has xLoud and Bravia but I think they are not like Stock rom. Stock rom's xloud is clear and loud and u can feel the bravia of stock rom surfing pictures. Other thing is Stock rom Music player is so nice, i like the voice quality than of pureness. Well, these custom roms are good if u want something new for temporary, else stock roms are best. one of the reason to switch over custom rom was speed, ya i got the speed in custom rom but lost many imp things like music, camera, xloud, bravia which are golden features of stock rom. Wow.

anyways, I made my stock rom fast by rooting, removing bloatwares and having link2sd awesome app. Now i m loving my phone :) voila

Does anyone know how to fix a stuck power key on the t989? My sister is having an ultimate bootloop issue due to a stuck power key. is there a way to fix it without having to take the back off?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bicho6:
I have noticed that all the JB roms do not have wifi calling and there was a thread in the ROM section about wifi calling and getting it to work. An Author of one of more popular ROMS for our device came out and said not to ever excpect wifi calling as a feature. My question is why aren't we seeing wifi calling in the newer ROMS. I was a little hesitant to ask this question cause I feel like i'm going to get flamed by seniors, but I honestly don't know the reason and it seems like everyone else does, so i'm curious. I don't have a problem with it because I'm using an ICS rom that does have Wifi calling, I was just wondering whether the issue was a technical hurdle in getting it working on newer ROMS, or is it just a PITA to get it working? just wondering, no complaining
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mr. bird:
From what I understand its only in official T-Mobile based roms cause no one has yet figured out how to pull it and use it in other roms like CM, AOKP...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
Tmo has also switched over to the ims system for wifi calling on android. All new devices need to use that system to wifi call. And taking that info and molding it into asop/aokp roms is simply a pain that most people don't want to delve into. If you want wifi calling you may want to stick to a modded stock rom. At least if you are on tmo...if not i think there are a couple apps that assist in VoIP calling

Wondering if there is any way around tethering and data charges, will be in a hotel for a week and don't care to pay for the internet there. Thinking about trying pdanet.

Will Verizon notice?
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
tether at your own risk, but chances are verizon will not notice.
[HTC Rezound] Kratz17:
Why not use wifi tether ? And there's almost no chance Verizon will notice.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
If you're rooted use the latest version of Wireless Tether, if not, ClockWorkMod USB tether is cheap and works on non rooted phones.
[HTC Rezound] DbZ Gokuu:
Assuming you don't go over your data cap if you have one, you'll be fine. I tether and watch hd netflix on my Xbox all the time
[HTC Rezound] DJTheC:
Sorry to be a prude, but what kind of hotel charges for access? Every hotel I've stayed at, especially for work usually offers free or none at all.
[HTC Rezound] Kratz17:
I know right lol all hotels I have stayed is free wifi
[HTC Rezound] Imitation:
I stayed at a Marriott when I was on a business trip (we had the event at the hotel), although we (my company employees) had gotten a free access code, the hotel charged everyone else $10 every 24 hours.

edit: Of course I ended up tethering to my phone anyways at night due to the fact the Internet connection ended up being overloaded. haa

Also just realized you added the "especially for work usually offers free or none at all." bit. :P
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Disney... :D

Last time I stayed there, it was $10 a day or some flat rate for the week, needless to say, Wifi Tether works great...
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
And get around VZW's Wifi Hotspot or that "Tetherguard" apk vzw has rigged in the system...? Hmm
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Embassy suites still charges for hotspot, but that free breakfast and happy hour are tough to pass up.
[HTC Rezound] tf201:
Tethering is now free and allowed. Verizon just got sued and lost... ordered to pay $1mm to the usa and allow tethering.
[HTC Rezound] Legobricke:
Not if you are on an unlimited plan....

Lego
[HTC Rezound] Yensid eno:
I believe that the data plan does not matter; it is whether you are on 4g or not. When Verizon bought the spectrum for its 4g service it was agreed to not restrict user use of their devices.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
The FCC specifically left out the part about unlimited data in their ruling.

And you would be surprised at how many hotels charge for internet access still. I've practically lived out of a suitcase for the past 2 months and had at least 4 or 5 hotels still wanting to charge me for internet access. Or the free access was so miss poor that I ended up tethering anyway.
[HTC Rezound] Phaded:
You can tether. They can't block tether apps in the market nor charge you for using it, unlimited or not. Also, tetherguard can be messed with..
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
There is nothing in the fcc ruling that says that can't charge for tethering just that they can't restrict the tether apps in the play store.

Man yall need to learn how to read.
[HTC Rezound] etracyirl:
If you have unlimited like myself then you don't get tether from Vz.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripledrop:
Hi all,

I'm having an issue setting a different lockscreen wallpaper.

I go to: Settings > Wallpaper > Lock Screen and it brings up the normal window asking me to "Select wallpaper from" but there is nothing to select! There are 2 lines below, but both are blank and if I press either I get an error (Unfortunately, Settings has stopped).

If I go to Settings > Wallpaper > Home Screen I can select as normal (I get 3 lines; Go Wallpapers, Live wallpapers, QuickPic Wallpaper)

If I go to Settings > Wallpaper > Home and lock screens, 3 lines appear again, but only the first has anything in it, and that's just Live wallpapers.

Any ideas at all?

I use Omega Rom v13

Thanks

Hi guys

First of all, i read all other threads related to my thread title, nothing useful was found.

What i did:-

Grabbed my brother Galaxy Mini, Updated to gingerbread 2.3.6 with Odin Multi Downloader, Update finished, and the phone worked like a charm, but then i found that it doesn't support Arabic, so i searched for another version of GB, i did found one,and then i attempted to repeat the same procedure, it finished, but then the phone SCREEN turned WHITE

Problem:-

The only thing i see is a WHITE SCREEN,

Can't go to recovery mood

Can't go to download mood,

Odin doesn't detect my phone when i connect it via usb port

ALTHOUGH, when i restart my phone i hear the samsung welcoming tone, but the SCREEN gets PIXELATED, but i can still turn the screen lighting off and on by the on button.

Bottomline:-

Bricked Galaxy Mini, probably due to BAD installation procedure, WHITE screen keeps showing, how doomed am i?

PS: i was able to connect it to KIES, it was successfully detected, so can i install a new firmware through KIES?

Did you wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache too? If not, you should do that. Also, sometimes you need to power it down after installing and power our back up before things work right.

Also, are you on an ics base? I think you need to be to use blackhole.

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
The Blackhole ROM was made under the assumption that you were running one of the ICS Leaks. Eclipse 3.0 was built off Gingerbread 5.9.905, and assumes the presence of the GB kernel. Blackhole, being an ICS based ROM, sees the old Gingerbread kernel sitting there and freaks out, leaving you with a black screen.

Your best bet is to FXZ to stock .905, then apply an ICS leak no newer than 6.7.232 if you want to use any of the newer ICS based builds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cam3ron1:
Anyone going to make a kernel for touchwiz. That's 2.1?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ndh777:
Eventually...yes, someone will. Is anyone currently? Who knows? Most developers keep to themselves until right before they're ready to release.

With Jelly Bean about to be released to our phones soon, some developers may be wanting to wait until then to begin working on a kernel because they don't want to create a kernel for a version that may become outdated very soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
I've also been curious as to why there hasn't been any kernel development.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
I asked this same question in q & a and the response i got was there are no tw kernel devs. So this phone is still gaining more attention so i think we should have some kernel devs soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cam3ron1:
Will actually there is a 1.89ghz called kettle corn but it's a bit outdated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
I have noticed this with all my samsung phones. Kernels take a long time to perfect, and the only way to do that is to stick with one build, and just keep tweaking it. The problem is that Sprint and Samsung seem to constantly keep updating, and with every new build comes a new kernel. In order to update the kernel you have to wait for the source to be released, but by the time the source is released there is a new build coming out and everybody wants the new build. So if someone were to compile a kernel for touchwiz, but next week we get a leak for sprint jellybean rom or something, everybody would want that....so why waist the time trying to build a kernel when it will be outdated as soon as its released?

Hi

I'm a rookie to android

i just need t know what is the best ICS rm for DINC2 without bugs r with least bugs. i mean i dont know much so i need a stable, easy to use rom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
All ics roms for vivow have some issues. The question is do you want sense or aosp?

UKB is probably the best sense rom out right now. Sense 4, android 4.0.3. Smooth, fast, excellent battery. Camera fcs a lot for some.

For aosp, you have Kangdemnation or an older version of PA. PA is moving on to JB, but I think version 1.9.5 is ics.

Most of the problems are camera related, but many have been fixed. BT is another area of concern/ongoing development. Sound issues, too.

Search through the threads for these issues before you ask a question. Most of these threads are quite large.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
NITSUJ released an ics leak that I have found pretty bug free and stable
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
+1 I am running the leak now. I didn't mention it b/c some people are having trouble: play store, data wifi switching, etc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jekern77:
If you don't feel the need for Ice Cream Sandwich, I use Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable for my "old reliable" It's much faster than stock, better battery life, and everything works 100% for me. Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeayci:
I'm pretty much a rookie myself, and wanted the most stable ics rom I could get. The UKB looked great, but I decided to try tazz's ic rom first. It sounds like it should be stable too. I just flashed it earlier today, so haven't had much time with it yet, but so far it looks great. It sucks as much as everyone in that thread promised. ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] getinnocuous:
In my experience, Tazz's ROM is probably the number one out there right now. Granted, you're stuck with Sense but there are some devs out there stripping Sense away from this ROM and another one. Everything works out of the box (including camera which is huge for me), but like I mentioned, you're stuck with Sense and I've personally moved to Paranoid Android 1.5a which has CM9 as a base. Works pretty great, although my ffc pictures often show up corrupt/glitchy/garbled. Now to make more posts so I can have the privilege of commenting about this bug...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
So nice to see someone reading :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] drsparsh:
If u r on cdma then use UKB X, if on gsm use IC Tazz. Both the roms are very gud. I faced bootloop in gsm with UKB X and V.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
I just stuck to the Aeroevan's CM9 07/12 build with v12 kernel (pretty outdated, but I don't use the phone anymore) and gave it to my mother. So far, she's loving it to the point where she's completely oblivious to the world when she's using an app. ;)

I woild definitely recommend Aero's CM9 build if you want a speedy rom with mostly everything working (720p recording doesn't work sadly)

But if you want an extremely stable ROM, then go for Tazz/Mac's IC Tazz ROM and have fun with the suckiness of the ROM. XD

I woukd also recommend Nit's UKB just because it's a treat and its packed with lots of Sense 4.0 goodies. :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeayci:
Apparently I've gone flashing-crazy (I blame upgrading to TB Pro :laugh: ) and have also tried UKB V and can now recommend it too as rookie-safe. The only problem is I'm having so much fun trying out new roms, I'm now finding myself searching for other roms to play with... :eek:
