[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Already have a GNex and just received my HTC One S and the length of the actual screen minus Gnex nav bar is exactly the same. If you factor in the GNEx nav bar the GNex is longer. The plus side to that is with custom ROM's or an app you can modify the nav bar buttons to do whatever you like plus add about 6 buttons instead of just 3. You can make it do it's main function plus a long press function so really it is 2 actions per button. I added a power button on my nav bar to turn the screen off or power off to save on using the actual power button. You can also make the nav bar disappear with the GNex and it disappears for when playing games or videos. I think this is a major plus compared to the one S. Also the One S width is significantly thinner. So the size difference is they are both exactly the same length and the GNex is much wider. The Navigation bar customizations are really handy and make the GNex the clear winner! The HTC screen is mainly only brighter cause of all the bright white menu screens. Also you can modify the color settings with the GNex to look beautiful or the way you like and it actually makes the GNex brighter.

The bottom line is the only things that are better than the GNex is the specs and the camera. The size of the Gnex and the software wins over I think. By the time the One S gets Jellybean the GNex will be getting Key lime Pie, so the One S will always be a step behind so if i had to choose between the 2 my choice would be the GNex hands down. New customizations for camera in jellybean make the camera good enough for me!

I'll trade my One S for an galaxy nexus...:D

You can also do the custom button stuff on capacitive buttons with an app called home2shortcut. It let's you configure home and search buttons with either double tab or long press.

Good app

[HTC One X] Jack Barrett:
It happened to me before, but this time my bootloader is locked and I can't even unlock it.

Recovery is not working too - all I do is leave it charge on bootloader and it auto restarts but seems nothing to happen.

I don't know anymore how to unlock it since it says battery too low.

Tried every method.

Any ideas?
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Sounds like you have the wrong boot.img if it's constantly rebooting.

And now you've locked your bootloader, you can't flash the correct one. (why can't you re-unlock it?)

You can flash a RUU to restore back to stock, just get plenty of charge in your phone.

Unplug phone

Enter fast boot (hold power and volume down till your bootloader shows)

Select power down option

Then plug phone into mains (not pc)

Let it charge, then you can flash a RUU

What software version was you running at stock?
[HTC One X] Jack Barrett:
When I enter power down it shuts down. When I plug it goes to bootloader and restarts over and over.

RUU will not work since battery is like 6%

Can't unlock since it says "battery too low"
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Did you unplug the device first, then select the power down option from within the bootloader menu ?

Only then, can you plug directly into mains (not PC)

It shouldn't start up if you did it this way.
[HTC One X] Jack Barrett:
Yes I did. and it starts up.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
If this fails and you did these steps,

Put your phone into fastboot

Plug phone into pc

It should now say fastboot USB

Double click the fastboot charging script on your pc to execute it

.... Let your phone charge.

Here is the PC charging script

http://db.tt/vAcXL8kS
[HTC One X] Jack Barrett:
As I said tried that. It gives error due to low battery.

Edit: it gives error cuz bootloader is locked.
[HTC One X] Jack Barrett:
Now the script suddenly worked and it shows the voltage is going to increase slowly! I hope it will work.
[HTC One X] Jack Barrett:
Now I have recovery! Finally. Thanks to the person who made the script.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Good stuff, glad the script worked for you.

Remember, next time - don't panic :)

had same issue a while ago. HOX is charging for a few seconds until getting into fastboot mode. The script restarts the device times via fastboot commands. Very useful. I had to retype those commands by hand

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Anyone used it on the ion yet? Did you just choose the #2 option? I just did this on my Xperia P (LT22) and it worked like a charm. Make sure if you have a backup through the ICS backup & restore app you move it to the removeable SD card or back it up first onto your computer as this process will erase any backups stored on internal memory.

NOTE: On my Xperia P it didn't remove the previous backup I had sooooo...just backup your backup just in case :)

I for one would love a nice custom ROM for the Ion. Something lightweight, fast, battery optimisations. I loved the Android Revolution HD custom ROMs for my HTC Incredible S. The guy took stock roms and did what HTC should have done: made them fast, efficient, and awesome

I may just port Du@lcore's Xperia S rom since the phones are nearly the same.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mroach:
I had been wondering about that. The phone have very few differences. The ones of note are the different radio and that the Ion has an SD slot. Aside from that I think it's all the same guts.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
You should have installed an app called Back up and restore, once it gets to that point you go to your phone Leaving it plugged into the pc and leaving the CMD window open, open the app and click restore, it should say it failed on your phone but the CMD says it worked it should reboot twice and you should be G2G

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Download Flash tool and the 105 FtF flash it to your phone, Superuser is gone, put your phone back on Flashtool and click the Lock, youll now have SuperSU instead, when Superuser updates it stopped working, for me at least.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Check your settings in SuperSU or SuperUser, it may be set to auto deny.

How do i run the restore, if its from the app bavk i have done that plenty of times choosed option 1 & 2 and no luck my friend
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Use flashtool, plug in your phone and push the lock button. It installs supersu which superuser won't work for some reason now which the other packages use.

Install the two apks linked from the flash tool, once installed open flashtool.

Make sure you have MTP off and debug on.

Click the lock icon in the top left of flashtool it will tell you to run the backup so...

Open the backup/restore app

Then for restore it should day rootme so hit restore.

It will tell you to connect external memory and try again DONT TOUCH ANYTHING! This is suppose to happen

Flashtool will tell you it's rebooting it will reboot once then again and will say it's done. Congrats you're rooted.

i cant see root me in Backup & restore, just regular Restore.

Before rooting i have reset the phone to factory setting, set usb to debugging mode.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
You choose the wrong option. You need to select Normal option 1

Make sure you have the latest version of the rooting bat file version 11.

Enable usb debugging and unknown sources.

Turn phone on and plug it into your computer. Start the .bat file and choose Option 1 Normal. When it says to look at the phone and backup & Restore go into the app on your phone and restore the RootMe backup file. The .bat file should say "Good it worked" leave your phone alone as it will restart. You are done with the .bat file says press any key to close.

Its very simple and works great. I have used it on my Xperia P, S and ion

Everything after opening backup/restore app to do rootme restore file, says no such file or directory for. What do I need to do?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Go get the ftf version of your Rom and flash it with flashtool then you can root in flashtool to get supersu for some reason the binary one stopped working for me but one try and flashtool worked. It's the big lock button at the top of flashtool. Also when you back up using the app when either flashtool or binary tells you, to restore then your phone says it failed that is SUPPOSE to happen never unplug your phone while doing this unless told to also
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] randy_c:
For me this is how it went on mine:

1. Install back up and restore apk

2. Download V14, extract and run bat file.

3. Choose restore "rootme"

4. V14 done , finish and enjoy rooting> I never got the SU after reboot the phone.

5. Phone become superlag so I restore the phone > No more root for me :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I tried to search for you *which you might get flamed for by others for not doing first* but it looks like the general concencious is because windows mobile is a closed source there is no way for them to make the port over. the only reason people have been able to port android over to a window mobile phone is because its open source.

anyway why would you ever want to run windows mobile? even if you could find another phone close to it and somehow copy their winmo it would be buggy beyond comprehension with no way to fix
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
No as of now it cannot be done. Ive been hoping something would come along on Android that would allow ARM CPU visualization and emulated sound/graphics so that other ARM based operating systems like Windows Mobile, etc could be run without the need to emulate the CPU. This is similar to Virtualbox on desktops which will allow you to run x86/64 based operating systems at a decent speed since the CPU is virtualized.

Is there any way to get USB audio working for the Samsung Galaxy Dock? I've tried using the "Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector" application with no luck. The dev of the application notes:

Please have the CM dev supporting your model verify the correct mapping exists between the ROM audio device and the kernel audio path (commonly set in libaudio).

Example: DEVICE_OUT_ANLG_DOCK_HEADSET in ROM should map to the path PLAYBACK_EXTRA_DOCK in the kernel.

Perhaps there is a custom kernel that fixes this?
