[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Knight47:
Use other values instead of 4096.i.e 2048,8192

He mean creating a ftf file from a flashable zip file mate. Not from PC companion update
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] b_nikz:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Knight47:
Some are reporting like this but I tested and working well :).you can find it in ftf extractor folder
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] b_nikz:
when i extract the ftf extractor.rar file the only thing i can see in the folder is aIUP.exe...nothing else :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amakaru:
I did exactly these step but when I flash the zip file in CWM it's said: "Error 6" .....

any solution for this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Knight47:
Something wrong with your updater script.attach your updater script
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] b_nikz:
ok i tried as you mentioned...its supposed to create a system directory in the folder where it is located but it doesnt......it doesnt actually extract system.sin even if it says it's done in the command prompt :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eldwafio:
Nice work matey, everything ran smoothly.

Not sure if i'm the only nab in the house, but as there's no boot.img i flashed sirkays xray (was on cm9 previously and was too lazy to flash stock and root).

I used your guide to root the nordic 4.0.4 i have on my pc and it installed fine. Only problem i got was the poxy update notification for last update kept popping up. searched the Q&A thread and as suggested by *boy*racer*, i used root explorer to delete the updatecenter.apk (can be found in /system/app/updatecenter.apk)

No more update popups :)

Hope this is of help to someone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stikkki:
I have SE Xperia Mini Pro SK17i and I followed the guide and it's a pretty straight forward tutorial and all went fine and I had a rom which installed successful.

But then I realized that I had actually downloaded the .ftf for Xperia Active (ST17i) and not Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) so my physical keyboard didn't work.

I downloaded the right .ftf Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) 4.1.B.0.431 and done the process again but I'm getting the Error: Page size parameter is wrong.

I've tried (twice) 4096, 2048 and 8192 but I still get the error.

Any ideas please?

[Nexus 7 Accessories] bcoolnow2005:
i waited so long for it to get here but it was worthwhile !

best case i came across for nexus 7 , one more thing that make it worth is the screen saver, it very high quality !

this is my fist unboxing for you, hope youi like it :)

[YOUTUBE]MC-OIwAU0_o[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 7 Accessories] BrandT90:
I'm not a big fan of the cases that cover the screen. Others I've seen are bulky. This seems like the perfect fit for me. It's barely noticeable and adds an extra line of defense, except for the screen. I just don't like having my screen covered by anything, not even screen protectors.

Thanks for this.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Good unboxing vid! I have a kickstand case from nillkin for my Sensation and is a quality product. I see that the micro USB has good clearing so that you can use different USB Cords if needed.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] predation:
looks googd.

debating this or a folio type case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Don Omar lol
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Jayrod1980:
I noticed it really is a lot like the S line case many sell. My question is this case totally smooth? The matte color area on the S line is textured which is nice but the seam runs along the edges making this slightly uncomfortable to hold for a long period of time. I can't go naked with this tablet but it's much more fatiguing with the case on. I think if the case were totally smooth it would be more comfortable. The 7 inch form factor for me is really pushing the limit for one handed use, the slight increase in bulk even from the tpu case pushes it that much further for me. I'm 6'3 but I have average length fingers. If I had big bear mitts maybe this wouldn't matter. Just curious.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bcoolnow2005:
you are wellcome

im happy to help,

this is perfect for you.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] androidkid311:
What's the name of this case?? Do they have different colours? :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] player911:
Yea a link would be nice. The case looks great.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Warren_Orange:
Hey I just ordered one!!

I've been looking for a decent gel case for ages. The generic S and X cases looked really cheap and nasty.

I hope its a really tight fit. Never heard of Nillkin but from your vid and the pictures it looks real quality.

Now I just have to be patient and wait for it to ship from China to the UK :(
[Nexus 7 Accessories] >>X<<:
The image a lot of sellers were using for the S and X cases were badly done concept art not the actual case, the reality is very different they are actually very nice well made cases.

I got a clear "iTALKonline S-Line" TPU case and its excellent quality it actually looked tighter to fit than this one, I'm also in the UK got mine from Amazon £3.49 free delivery came the next day.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bcoolnow2005:
in the youtube clip there is the person i order from
[Nexus 7 Accessories] gogol:
This is look nice ...

Where to order? They ship to Europe?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Zeros:
I bought mine from tablet.world on Ebay for $12.70 shipped. It looks like they do ship workwide too.

Just do an eBay search for Nillkin Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] 762x51:
Do these Nillkin cases fit better than the S line cases? I have an S line and it just isn't snug enough. The sides tend to flex away from the device way too easily.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mariolouis:
Thank you for effort in making this video. I only would like to suggest next time when you do videos, please turn your camera in panoramic view. In youtube, the black space on the sides occupied more room than your actual video, which is more important. Just a tip! ;)

Anyhow, thanks again!
[LG Optimus Black] TugaSoulHunter:
Hi there. . . I'm just here cause I'm tired for the ob and no upgrades to ice scream sandwich. . . I'm planning to buy the LG Prada for 269€ out of the box (new) and it has ics. . . And i will sell my OB for 160... is it a good 'upgrade' or i just leave it alone?

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
You could do better, but that's just my opinion
[LG Optimus Black] TugaSoulHunter:
What do you mean by "better"?

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
I mean is not that much of an upgrade, you could/should get a better phone like an L7, again, that's just my opinion
[LG Optimus Black] TugaSoulHunter:
:eek: Are you talking serious? L7 It´s allmost equal to the OB....Prada has huge modifications compared with OB and L7
[LG Optimus Black] SoulExertz:
Try looking at processor first. Make sure its a new model.
[LG Optimus Black] cyanisblue:
If you get anything LG, your going to be waiting on updates, and I very much doubt Prada will get Jellybean. I would get something from Samsung or HTC but that's just me. I'm getting the next quad-core nexus without hesitation.
[LG Optimus Black] sekhar13515:
If you have unlimited money, go for Prada or L7..

If you want satisfaction, go for Zeus 6.39 ROM...
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
For now I'd go on HTC one x/s, both of them are excellent, but the best choice is to wait a time period, there will be AWESOME phones in the future:cool: Yesterday I just read about LG optimus G, A 2GB RAM PHONE! so just wait for now :)
[LG Optimus Black] TugaSoulHunter:
I think that Prada is way better than L7...

I have been thinking and have an idea, I was just wandering if this has been done already or what you guys think, we should all get together in a petition and state we want new kernel source and point put how important that is to is in this community and also influences our decisions on future purchases from a manufacturer. If we let em know we're serious and they could possibly lose future business over it maybe they will take action because I'm seriously contemplating never buying another HTC because of slowness of updates and lack of source. What do you guys think, would you sign?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] neonblur:
so to make a long story short: i rooted my nook, then bricked it, unbricked it and it went back to unrooted stock. now when i was unbricking it i installed cwm internally to make things easier, only thing is now that i am unrooted and back to stock i can still boot into the internal cwm with the n and power button. this is where my question/confusion comes in, if i am unrooted how is it that i can still do this? non of my other apps that were installed when i was rooted show up and i can only get to cwm recovery by booting in. i am just curious if this is normal :confused:

thanks for any info!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lag0matic:
From what I understand, the recovery image, and the normal boot image are different and seperate entities.

There's a way to flash the stock recovery, as well, look over in the developer forum.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
flash the stock recovery using indirect's newest recovery flasher app. of course you need to be rooted. once that app is installed you can flash the stock recovery.

Odex VS Deodexed

A .dex file is basically a compiled bytecode version of an app that has been built for the Dalvik VM which Android's apps run on. I believe it is short for Dalvik Executable.

An .odex file is an Optimized .dex file (hence the 'o'), meaning that it has basically been pre-compiled for a specific platform. The advantage to this is that startup time is much faster since the VM doesn't have to perform any optimizing at startup/runtime. The disadvantages are 1) That it takes up some extra space and 2) An odexed app won't run properly if it's put onto another device, and it must have the associated .odex file to run at all.

An "odexed" ROM is one where the apps have been precompiled, and thus contain associated .odex files which are external to the .apk files. A "deodexed" ROM is one where data that would be optimized in the .odex files has been more or less merged back into the .apk files (meaning it is not optimized but basically platform agnostic), thus the .apk files are self-contained and there are no .odex files. This is usually just done with a deodexing utility, such as smali/baksmali.

error 7, can't get it to boot on Smelkus recovery. even toggled signature verifications. does this need ext. 4 or is 3 sufficient?

edit: odex version
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
Im on Smelkus recovery and EXT 4,also mate,thats funny because i only flashed the odex'ed version to check out the rom and didnt have any problems,ill check it again real quick,if someone downloads the deodex'ed version,can you post your results please,thanks.

Edit I'm gonna run a check on both the deodex'ed and odex'ed versions mate,so i will report here in about 15.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
Ok,im on the latest Smelkus recovery,i go to wipe and wipe all 3 top lines 3 times,then i install the rom,both versions installed just fine for me,also why im looking at it,the updater script doesnt say its the deodex'ed version,like the odex'ed one does,haha.I'll change it in the update mates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbrita:
i just tried the odex version i got error 7 also hw003 formated all plus sd ext. still no go
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
I wish i knew what the problem was,status 7 error means that your recovery is out dated or the rom isnt meant for your tele.I'm on RA Revamped Build:RA-Supersonic-v4.1-SmelkusMOD,with ext 4 and i dont get an error with either versions,so its hard for me to pinpoint this for you mate.

EDIT I'll repack the roms,i might have messed something up when i signed them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
Anyone else having problems installing these roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lreyes:
I will try this Rom it looks cool :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
The latest smelkus is 4.3, or is that what you meant?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
Sorry mate,im on 4.1,not the latest,haha.I have repacked both versions of the rom and didnt sign them this time,i had a problem last time i did that,not sure why,anyway blokes im re-uploading to MikMik's server now,so it shouldnt be long.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
Ok blokes,the repacked odex'ed version is up and error free,uploading the repacked deodex'ed version now.

[EVO 4G Android Development] sharkboy0901:
Cool.

Is this your 1st rom looks cool
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
Yes my friend,this is,i figured out why the status 7 error,because the update.zip was getting corrupted when i was signing the rom,so these repacked versions wont be signed and i installed both and they both work fine.

EDIT Both repacked versions are up,enjoy mates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:

[EVO 4G Android Development] rickmatic:
Do I HAVE to be partitioned for this to work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
I can't tell you that mate,because i'm partitioned with EXT 4,the best thing to do is partition your sd card,it will eliminate alot of errors you might be getting,with the roms,especially ICS and JB.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 88exp88:
No I don't think so. If you could test that for me that would be great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
Its an older build,soo no,more than likely your right mate,you wont need to be partitioned.But its not a bad idea.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:

[EVO 4G Android Development] 6ANONAMUS9:
We definitely put more time into the theme,then the rom itself,but the update will contain more tweaks and app changes,more bloatware removed,etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
Ok, I just flashed & looks great, I see you mentioned your on ext 4, so I'm assuming the kernel that's in this, ext 4 is supported, or do I need to flash underworld v8.

Yeah, thanks Diablo, I flashed a2sd & nothing happened, but even before I flashed it I keep getting fc from the market, & also my rom toolbox pro keeps fc, so I can't get to a TE. I wiped c & d & fixed per in recovery, no go. I'm gonna go flash underworld v8 & see if things change.

EDIT - So, I've got a2sd working fine but the market keeps fc. It's an old version to, not sure if it's supposed to update itself to the newer version but it's not. FCing it in manage apps does nothing, nor does wiping anymore. Any ideas on what I can try, oh, wait a minute, I just realized I changed the lcd density. I'll change back & report.

EDIT 2 I changed it back, the market opened this time but fc again, I don't know.

If you guys are looking for a decent turn-based strategy game you can grab Uniwar HD for free off of the Amazon app store today. If you want to take a look at a quick overview/review you can check out the link here.

If you want to go directly to the Amazon Store here's the link for the application.

It's a pretty fun game that will remind you of mobile strategy games for other mobile consoles and platforms. Fortunately, the game looks pretty good even on the 10" screen. For free, it's a pretty great game (considering it's normally $5 on the Play Store).

You can check out some of my screenshots below (taken on the phone, but the game also scales perfectly for landscape on the Prime as well).
