This file is almost half the size of the other guy's file. Did you just use the 2 largest files and not the 3?

Current Phone: LT28 - Sony Xperia Ion | Rooted ICS

Retired Phone: HTC Inspire 4G | IceCold 8.2 / dual pane - 160DPI
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DennisDD78:
Nope. I used 3 files, made FTF in Flashtool, and then flashed this FW in my Ion, and earlier i flashed 2.3. It was yesterday, my phone is working fine. This size because it`s in a zip archive, that`s all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
You don't need the three biggest. Two biggest is all I ever use and leave out the partition and simlock files when making the ftf.

Sent from my Sony Xperia™ P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xyberknight:
Has a proper ftf been made for this yet, and can any one confirm it has working versions of the PS apps on it, where I couldn't ever get the LT28h to work on my LT28at. Also, any one notice any increase of in call volume?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dizarmstrong:
flashed Lt28i 6.1.E.1.19 hong kong version no problem (Depositfiles link)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Funk2641:
Flashed it as well. I'm on ATT, here are my thoughts:

It's very smooth, a bit more than the Chinese FTF

The speaker still sucks, mostly because of distortion

The phone has trouble stepping up to LTE, after to handover to HSPA. For example, after I get a call, I have to go to APN settings to make it connect to LTE

Still says "4G", instead of LTE

Sony's notifications still suck

I'll keep poking around
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
+1

also used the ICS root

I would suggest anyone that has to downgrade from .233 to .111 to get to .19, do a full wipe with each step back up to .19
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
so even if i've downloaded the ftf and i'm on .233 i should still go down to .111 before going to .19? why so much flashing required if so? i don't understand if i'm on .233 why i can't wipe it all and go straight to .19...?

edit: i went from .233 to .111 to .19 full wipes. now have root. pretty painless minus losing all my apps and data. contacts saved thru google. should be back to where i was this time tmr.. :) thanks again

and after adding the correct apn's i have tethering too... next question is LTE..should still work correct?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
LTE still works, and still shows up as 4G.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
I keep checking the forums to see if 28at version came out yet lol.

Why? Do u like bloatware? This works

6.1.E.2.29 (Hong Kong Version) for LT28i released.

Still 4.0.4, doesn't what has been change compare with 6.1.E.1.19

WI-FI Profile Problems

I too upgradred .111 to .19 with full wipes and observe all of the version specifics already mentioned. However, I now cannot seem to get a secure WI-FI network profile to save or connect. If I disable the security of the network and set to open, it connects fine. If I secure the network and have to add credentials in any form in the WI-FI setup, the add-profile dialogue simply closes without retaining any of the network specifics and does not attempt to connect. Has anyone encountered this issue or can reccomend a solution?

Original Xperia ION LT28at flashed to LT28i_6.1.E.1.19_Hong Kong
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
I don't have this problem and I'm on a hidden ssid and wpa2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
I flashed back to .19 but am not getting any updates available through sus. can you make a ftf of it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shogun84:
I agree with you. There is no change if check performance or battery.

I also flashed LT28i_6.1.E.1.29 from LT28i_6.1.E.1.19 Rooted. After flashing, it turned to unrooted, and when if I install or update some apps (such Astro file manager, black market,..), it showed "Free more space..." event there is a lot of free storage. And then, I rooted phone by Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v11, it can be rooted as before. Did you face to this matter like me?
[HTC EVO 3D] invince2:
I installed mwakious Rom...n it has google now....its nice but I hear it drains a lot of battery on sense...

So how can I remove google now ?!

Or

How to improve battery life !!!!??

IT LASTS JUST 3 HOURS !!CAN'T GET IT PAST LUNCH TIME !!!!

I GET THIS TYPE OF BATTERY LIFE FOR EVERY ROM..WHAT TO DO !!! :banghead: :banghead:

go in google now settings and turn it off. There should be a toggle on the top right corner
[HTC EVO 3D] grrratt:
There's a thread discussing Google Now in ICS and there is a specific issue with power use for Google Now and HTC phones. There is a fix but it isn't simple, it involves editing the services.jar. Here's the post that explains what you need to do:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30368133&postcount=4384

I must say, mwakious may have already tried this - he does mention editing the services.jar in his OP.

I was wondering what the "modded services.jar google now" was in Venom sense mod. guess this answers my question
[Xoom Android Development] z1gackly:
I've started a project building an AOSP ROM for wingray for my own amusement, and I thought I'd share, just in case someone wanted a nearly pure AOSP ROM with some carefully chosen tweaks.

As far as I am aware this is a fully functional ROM, but I am unable to test exhaustively so treat it as a pre-release beta, use at your own risk, blah, blah, blah.

I don't make any promises to continue development or fix bugs.

Features:

Built from pure AOSP 4.1.1 R4 (JRO03L) source with the following tweaks:

Fixed Guava compilation errors (thanks to CM10)

Added Busybox binary (thanks to ChainsDD)

Added Superuser package (thanks to ChainsDD)

Removed cellular and tethering references from wingray build (thanks to Peter Alfonso)

Disabled inclusion of AOSP recovery in the build (thanks to Peter Alfonso)

Fixed init.d support (thanks to CM10)

Working Camera

Bigger thumbnail size in recent apps menu

To do:

Horizontal recent apps menu

Reboot menu

T-Mobile Theme Chooser

More ...

Known Issues:

May encounter an issue with Superuser forgetting app permissions. Workaround: install SuperSU.
[Xoom Android Development] z1gackly:
To install this ROM, I recommend wiping System, and Dalvik Cache, and performing a Factory Reset, but feel free to try it your way.

Make a Nandroid backup first!

Use standard Jellybean gapps.

http://goo.im/devs/zigackly/roms/wingray/AOSP_JRO03L

All feedback/bug reports welcome!
[Xoom Android Development] yosterwp:
Well this is pretty neat, Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] z1gackly:
Glad you like it. I'm finding it quite snappy to use, even though it's not overclocked. I'll try to build in some more features as I get the time, if I can do it without losing the butteriness.
[Xoom Android Development] nadiros:
Hey thanx for your work.:good:

I wonder how this would run with a Tiamat/Eos Kernel ? Anyone tried?
[Xoom Android Development] z1gackly:
Only one way to find out :)

Development is going a bit slowly in the last two days as I have been having trouble with corruption in my git repository.
[Xoom Android Development] v3rk:
i was just wondering if someone might ever do an aosp build for my xoom. thank you so much for your efforts, and for sharing the fruits with us!
[Xoom Android Development] DsturbD:
cool deal man, i'll give this a spin and report back. so good to see others dev'ing for the Xoom! thank you thank you thank you :)
[Xoom Android Development] DsturbD:
when looking in TB there is a system app listed with Chinese characters followed by 4.1.1-eng.zigackly.20120914.083408. What is this and can it be removed?

just like to add that first impressions go a long way and i dont normally look at the boot animation, but i did this time and it was way smoother than any other ive seen on my tablet, dont know what the diff is, but i like it

so far so good
[Xoom Android Development] tincbtrar:
Getting build.prop error 7 on install. Looking for Wingray in the build.prop line.

Might be a bad download? I am trying to update from CM10 and the stock update Stachre provides.
[Xoom Android Development] z1gackly:
That will be the AOSP Chinese keyboard. There's a Japanese one too. Look in Settings->Language and input and you will see them as options. I believe you can safely remove them.

Could you try the download again? Build.prop should be replaced in system when you install, so it doesn't sound like a problem with where you are coming from.

MD5 checksum is 8cfdb670d42b5486f07f816f0e9a4791. You can check with MD5 checker from the play store.

If it's not a download problem, try a factory reset and wipe system before installing. Make sure you back up first.

In other news, I have fixed my git repositories although I had to redo all my work, but I am now working on a new build with improvements to the recents menu to take advantage of the Xoom's screen size. Hoping to implement bigger app thumbnails tonight and possibly a horizontal menu tomorrow.

The addition of a reboot menu is challenging. I made some changes based on the way Peter Alfonso does it and that didn't work, so I looked at the way CM10 do it and that didn't work either! I don't give up easily though. I'll take another stab at it this week. I'm learning this as I go along. Best way to learn, I think.

I'm also hoping to look at adding Theme Chooser this week.
[Xoom Android Development] tincbtrar:
Thank you for the md5, it matches, but still doesnt install.
[Xoom Android Development] DsturbD:
thanks and looking forward to the updates!

may i suggest one or two? i like the options for things like setting quiet hours or profiles, being able to change toggles, etc. not sure how easy those would be to add in. i'm more than willing to help out and test things.

what recovery are you using and are you sure you have done a complete wipe? (factory reset/wipe data, format cache, format system, wipe dalvik)?
[Xoom Android Development] tincbtrar:
Im using Rogue Recovery...did full wipe, dalvik, cache and system.

Perhaps its the recovery - but that doesnt make sense as every other rom ive installed worked well.

I modified the build.prop with some more operators to see if it will accept the model name or similar instead and I get a error 6 instead.

Maybe its just my Xoom? Nonetheless, ill wait for now, and stick with CM10 - its been pretty stable for me with no reboots.
[Xoom Android Development] DsturbD:
understandable. maybe try TWRP recovery just to make sure? if you have the time or are up to it?
[Xoom Android Development] tincbtrar:
I guess I could try TWRP, but I dont like how I always have issues with mounting sd with it...its why I stick to Rogue.

Ill give it a shot later on with TWRP to try and pinpoint the cause.

Edit: Tried TWRP and it flashed. Interesting! Thanks a bunch!
[Xoom Android Development] z1gackly:
Build 7 added with larger app thumbnails in the recent apps menu. Available for download in post 2.

I'll look at what it might take to add those features, dodgefan67. I'm looking to implement the ones in my wish list in the OP first though.

I also need to get my head around merging in some improvements from the AOSP code base from after 4.1.1 r4.
[Xoom Android Development] z1gackly:
The build.prop error is caused by an assert in the updater-script which checks you're installing the ROM on the correct device.

You could extract the updater-script and remove the assert, then replace the updater-script in the ROM.

It's in /META-INF/com/google/android in the zip.

I'm trying to get hold of a build.prop from a wingray which exhibits this problem, so I can correct for it in the script, but I expect yours will be fine now.

Worst case I can just remove the assert, then if someone flashes it on the wrong device it's their lookout, but I'd rather add the variant which is causing the problem to the assert.
[Xoom Android Development] z1gackly:
I'm going to have to halt development on this for a time whilst I work on some stuff for my Nexus 7. I've updated build 7 so it will work with Rogue recovery. Back in a little while.
[Xoom Android Development] DsturbD:
thanks for the update!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
Hi I wanted to know if it is possible to improve to improve audio recorded during a video??

I mean I can record video at 720p 25 fps, but the DAMN audio gets recorded at 12 kbps!!

It's just tinny and annoying sound cuts up all the time.

So it is it possible to increase the bitrate of audio via modifying some system file or changing some parameters in phones hidden settings or something like that?? my phone is a Chinese Zopo PILOT ZP100. Thank you.

btw, When I use Sound / voice recorder, it records in 3gppp at high setting with 127 kbps AAC audio. :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martirio3000:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=el

some users with the same problem on other phones use this app with AMR_WB encoder selected and they reported a significant audio quality improved during video

Try it, it might work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
Thanks mate. this actually CAN record high quality audio but the video even when selected to record at 30 fps , reciords at 10-11 fps, I guess its my Class-4 card... :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrian816:
Perhaps compare the data rate required to store video+audio data compared to audio data only, and also account for the lower transfer speed of a class 4 SD card compared to class 10. There might be other limitations as well - if a product is sold as a mid-range phone the picture quality may be deliberately downgraded compared to what the hardware is capable of. Samsung galaxy ace 832MHz arm CPU with class 10 SD card = 320 x 240 video recording
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
when I use native app to record video, it records with bitrates of 11,000+ and 25 Fps! Just that audio is ****ty 12 kpbs!

With the lgcamera app as I reduce the video bitrate the fps goes up so I think it is a bandwidth issue only but then the native camera app can handle such high bitrates....!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedicemaster:
try to find out what encoding is used for 720p in the stock camera app, and make sure it's the same in lgCamera.

with the wrong encoding settings your phone may fall back to software encoding, which is much less efficient.

my phone for example is capable of 30fps 1088p video recording, but using software encoding(hw en/decoding is broken in the rom i use) it can only reach 30fps on 480p, or 720p if i overclock.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
Don't know, I guess the free version is capped at 20 FPS cause no matter what parameters I set frame rate doesn't go past 20 FPS...

The default encoder for phone was H.263 in 3GP container. still it doesn't make any difference. I was thinking about editing the Media_profiles.xml in ETC folder but it's not even there!! :eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caio Cesar:
Hello,

I have Zp200 and I have the same issue about audio quality... and Lg cam software does not work properly (sometimes close and lock the phone during record).

Do you have any new about how to change this bitrate?

Thanks, Caio.

[.PSD]GT-N7000 Screenshot body. -Layered.

So.. Here's a simple screenshot body for the Note. It has a simple glare and is layered with some extra things. - I took an image from google, sliced it up and added some new glare. - The glare is merged into the body layer, so basically all you need to do is add a screenshot and resize it to your needs.

The preview on my box.com shows the .psd as it is when it's downloaded. It has a screenshot and also a "back wallpaper", since I, myself find that to be a nice display option. Ofc. you can delete both the wallpaper and the black bars behind the phone if you feel like it.

This file is great for posting nice screenshots of your Note in the homescreen thread, over here:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] alainalemany:
Hello.

I have my Vivid with everything working good, S-OFFed and rooted. I have a stock ICS rom which works fine for my needs. The thing is I never leave the battery to completely die, everytime the phone warning me about low battery, I plug the AC charger or just the USB cable to my PC and then charge the battery.

However last night I fell asleep and the battery went down to 0% and the phone turned off. Now it seems that the phone isn't able to wake up the battery. I don't know how, but the battery got like 1% of charge and the phone woke up. Once it woke up, it get the charge perfectly but I took off the charger to go to my room and then the phone turned off, it seems it could not stand with such a little charge. Now I connect it to AC or PC and turn on the orange LED by 3 seconds, then the LED turn off, then the screen goes from black (turned off) to grey (on, but showing no image) and the LED blinks on orange to green. In AC is the same, and in USB you hear the usb-on sound but in the phone the behavior is exactly the same.

Obviously the battery isn't getting an initial charge and that's why the phone never wake up.

Why is happening this? Is there a way to fix it?

Help please!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
Try to borrow a friend's battery and flash a different recovery. When my phone wouldn't charge while powered down, it was because chargemode was broken in my recovery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] alainalemany:
Yes but, any suggestion about a good and stable recovery?

You're 100% this thing is because of that?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
Nothing's 100%, but I had the EXACT same problem as you described. Worse, I didn't know anyone with a Vivid at the time, so instead I kept plugging it in and unplugging it, getting that one second of charge until I was able to boot the ROM and let it charge to 100%. It took forever.

I've been using WCX recovery since the first version WildChild released, I've never had a single problem since I switched. I don't think you can get it here anymore, though, you might have to find his forum (it's distributed with his ROMs).

Edit: Looks like the All-in-one tool in the Dev forum contains a WCX recovery you can flash.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] alainalemany:
OK thank you so much... I'll look someone with a Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
you can download the WCXJB root pack from the superguide thingy in the development forum.. its in there
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] alainalemany:
Thank you so much man, I'll do it right away.

The thing is I have no friend with an HTC Vivid. Is there a way with 2 wires and a 9v AC adapter to give some charge to the battery and then put it in the phone and then still charging from the OEM AC adapter?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] alainalemany:
I flash the WCX recovery, but I'm still having this issue. After flash it do I must do something? Like run the recovery or something?

Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
Well, I would try to go into recovery to make sure the flash worked.

If you're running a working chargemode recovery and your phone still isn't charging while powered off, I don't know what the problem could be. Have you tried a different cable/charger?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] alainalemany:
Well right now I'm in the recovery and it says in the bottom:

RA Revamped
Build : Made for WCX ILLUMINATI SERIES by GINM

So I assume everything has properly flashed.

Beforeflash the recovery I've tried with several chargers.
