[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adirokzs:

space in marshmallow .

:cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
Have you read the flash procedure written on marshmallow thread.read and follow the procedure.you have to repartition your sd card and data to use all the space.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adirokzs:
I have done repartition and it while installing marchmallow on to phone via adb push command ,it shows bad file descriptor.THIS IS SHOWN FOR ALL ANDROID THAT I DOWNLOAD . WHEN I INSTALLED VIA ADB SIDELOAD ,IT SHOWS ONLY 2GB .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
Check your partition table and paste here then we can see what you did.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] domiankrey:
Hi there,

I own a Sony Xperia S, which is my main phone. Currently I am using the stock rom. There are many little problems I don't like and currently browsing the web is extremely slow. I know this is an old phone but even websites with no videos and only a few pictures take very long for loading, even though I am using my own Wi-fi and I am setting next besides my modem.

Therefore I would like to know which is the fastest browser on a phone. Additionally I would like to change to a custom Rom. Which is the fastest an older one since these Roms are made for lower hardware or a newer one which is more advanced and therefore makes best use of the specs given? Which Rom would you suggest to me?

These are the things which are important to me:

-Fast as possible

-No junk apps

-All my favoritr apps are usable

-(If possible integrated flashlight)

Important apps for me:

-Camera, phone, What's app, Mails... the standards

-Youtube

-Pocket Casts

-Andoku 2

-A good Mp3 Player

-Quiz Duell

-Plants vs. Zombies 2

Thank you very much.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I haven't tried them, but Opera and UC browser work fast from what I have heard. Also, if You are not so much into Sony Camera or other display stuff, I would recommend using a custom ROM which will remove most of unnecessary services and give more processing power.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] domiankrey:
Thank you very much. Which Rom would you suggest?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
If You want extremely stable ROM and don't care for updates or latest version, I would suggest go for Carbon ROM, it is KitKat based. If You want latest version ROM, which might have a few bugs, You can go for nAOSP 6.0 .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] domiankrey:
Thanks again. I think Carbon Rom looks great, therefore I will use that Rom.

Now I don't have CWM installed on my phone anymore. Additionally I now use Ubuntu, therefore must tutorials how to install CWM on Xperia S are not compatible with my OS. Therefore I would like to know if there is a possibility to install CWM with Ubuntu or with the phone alone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
If the tutorials have adb commands, they will work on both systems, Windows and Ubuntu as long as You have adb files. TWRP is better than CWM, I would recommend using that. Flash the boot.img from Carbon ROM zip using command in bootloader:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

This will give You TWRP.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] domiankrey:
Thank you very much.

Could you send me a link to such a tutorial please?

Additionally: Will Pokémon Go work on a Xperia S with the Carbon Rom (since it is Android 4.4)?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I was referring to tutorials in general, but You can find Xperia S/SL related tutorials here.

Can't say about Pokemon Go, but if Pokemon Go is compatible with KitKat version, then it will work on Carbon ROM as it had most stability and compatibility.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 123einszweidrei:
Hi there, I just installed Carbon Rom on my Xperia S and i am super happy with it. But now I need the Google apps. The only ones I really need are Google Play Store, Youtube, Google Maps and google Vieo Games.

How can I install them? Do I need all the others on order to make the ones I mentioned work?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
Download from internet by searching google play store for KitKat 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 what ever your android version is.then open playstore and install your desired apps and let us know if it works or not..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 123einszweidrei:
I got the app from here: apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-6-8-21-f-all-0-3036847-release/google-play-store-6-8-21-f-0-3036847-android-apk-download

Unfortunately it did not work. The app shortly starts, a white screen appears and then it crashes/closes again. What to do now?

It seems that I have to add a Google Account. But this is not possible on my settings.

I searched for an answer myself. I wanted to install the Gapps.zip in recovery mode. Unfortunately rebooting in recovery (TWRP) is not possible anymore.

Is this because I deletet the flashify folder?

Now I cannot reboot in TWRP recovery. I installed the flashify app again but it does not work properly anymore. I installed TWRP manager but it does not allow me to reinstall TWRP and it says it is intalled properly. But it does not work. When I try to reboot the phone i recovery with pressing the hardware buttons it does not work. When I press the power button and then select reboot in recovery only the Sony logo appears.

What can I do to properly isntall TWRP and then install Gapps?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
Extract the boot.IMG or kernel.IMG from your carbon ROM.zip and flash it via fastboot command or using flashtool.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 123einszweidrei:
The Rom boots and works no normally. Just the recovery dont boots. Is still the right solution@
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
Yes
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] domiankrey:
Hi there,

I was able to solve my problem so that the phone now is working perfectly. By installing Gapps I now have far more Google Apps than I want and than I need. I don't need Google Fit, Docs, Drive, Videos, Music etc. Can I remove them without damaging my phone? If yes, normally these apps can't be deleted. How can I delete such apps?

Additionally the Google Search bar is a mounted widget on my phone and I want to delete that and I want to completely remove or deactivate Google Now on my phone. Is this possible as well? If yes, how is that possible?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
To skip those Google apps from beginning, You could have flashed a pico version of gapps. It consists of bare minimum of apps such as Google Package Installer and Google Play services. You can remove them easily,as I used to remove them too earlier, using any system app remover. I have used this app, and it always worked fine for Me.

If You don't want Google now, I think You need to use a different launcher. You can use Nova launcher, it is very simple and efficient.

Back To Stock

Ok I Had So Much Fun With My Xperia S;)

Rooted,Installed Modded Apps (All Manually By Root Explorer) (Didn't Unlock Bootloader Or Installed Any ROM):p

Now I Want To Go Back To Stock ICS 6.1.A.2.45 Unrooted, Clean:)

This Is Due To I Haven't Backed Up Any Data When I Modded!:p

1>I Don't Want To Backup Any Data, Just Clean,Unrooted Even With The Bloatware Sony Provied_Well Just Like An Untouched ICS Firmware

2>I Don't Have Any Clean Image Of My Firmware Backed Up

Will A 'Factory Reset' Do The Spark?:rolleyes:

Or

I've To Download Image And Flashtool To Flash The ROM:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fareeed:
Flashtool's your best bet, a factory reset won't unroot you. Back up apps etc. with Titanium Backup beforehand :good:

Hello again XDA.

I'm thinking of changing my Xperia S from this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2393889 with CWM Based Recovery v.6.0.3.0

To this:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-s/s-development/rom-naosprom-xperia-s-t2958516

The 6.0, since I really want the Doze feature.

While also doing this in the way:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-s/s-development/tutorial-increase-data-partition-t2821058

And now I sincerely need you help:

1. I read a bit about partitioning. Most of the tutorial is using TWRP recovery. So I proceed to find out ways to change my CWM to TWRP but can never get it to work. Tried the TWRP app, didn't work. Tried using the Terminal inside phone, process said it succeed, but I still got CWM. I wonder what is wrong?

2. Can anyone give me a list of all the things I need to do what I want to do? The phone is rooted with bootloader unlocked, but I've uninstalled all of the Android related stuff from my PC since my last try playing around with it's inside a year or so ago. I think I need an Android ADB, and Flashtool? Anything else?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks anyway.

Hi, I need to flash a stock rom to my phone but the volume down button is broken (no way to fix), is there a way to do that? Can I boot into flashmode in some other way (via fastboot or adb)? Can I unzip the ftf and flash the separate files via fastboot or something? Please help!! Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] evilhedrox:
Update:

My ION has no screen and no volume down anymore, i use it as a chromecast device in an old tv because its hdmi output.

It was running Stock ICS and I decided to flash Stock JB. As volume down button was not working I tried to flash the ftf via fastboot, I unziped the ftf and run "fastboot flash boot kernel.sin" and "fastboot flash system system.sin", the commands where suscessfull but the phone dont boot anymore. I tried flash ICS Stock kernel and system back without success too. I know there is something I can do because I saw many people flashing roms with fastboot but I don't know how, any help?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nexzter:
So I have a sony Xperia S LT26i, and I first used the fastboot -w command, and then flashed the DOOM Kernel using the flashboot tool (S-DooMLoRD-JB_leak_200-AdvStk_v1), and then flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM. However, the system boots but the RAM shows TOTAL SPACE: 0.00B. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Anoother issue that I've been facing is that whenever I flash the ROM, the devices gets stuck in bootloop and keeps cycling between the SONY logo and the XPERIA loading screen, and only gets fixed if I flash the kernel again after flashing the ROM.

1= How can I tell if I have properly installed supercharger?

EDIT

2= The phone I find it very slow the phone is normal?

3= A user in previous messages had advised me to uninstall the services and programs that do not use to go to the stock rom, from what I understand with the boot and the root I have done, I need to put the zip of the stock rom in sd and I start installing from cwm, right?

4= This would make me lose supercharger right?

5= To save individual programs and games like I do? Titanium backup be used for this or is it better to use another?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
1) Run the script once more. When it shows all the options, it will say 50% or 100% supercharged.

2) Dunno, lol. Maybe too many apps. Mine as also kinda slow, but it got better after removing some apps.

3) No. You just have to use an file explorer with root access, and delete the unused things. Be careful on what you remove.

4) No.

5) I think it will do it for you.

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saetta88:
It says:

1- Looking for other values?

2- After a reboot the phone has stopped being slow, I'll have to see how it behaves with many active services. To uninstall the service (with the File Explorer program) my doubt is that I go to remove vital services for the system, that's why I asked if there is a stock rom or mod slimmer, you know what I mean? :)

Another question about supercharger:

3- during the installation, I have to be installed with the command 2 UnLedded for a xperia sola is good or is it better if I give another command?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
The supercharger is already installed. You're good. And there Ida an thread on the Apps section called something like "Freeing up some RAM" and there is an list there saying on what you can remove. Just read carefully.

Is there a difference?

Actually, u dont have to unlock ir bootloader to flash the ROM. Flashing that ftf is more reliable to me ;) as I know, flash the.zip file is that u are flashing a custom ROM, not a stock one.
