phew soo

now i have flashed stock austrian ics Austria with odin

(thanks selfmade usb jig) gg

so now i am back in the running ics system :) but!!

now it says contineusly "com.android.phone was stopped and the phone restarts..

not a real restart just black screen and then lockscreen...

so i thaugt i want to do a factory reset and i have flashed cwm too but i cant get in cwm now.

because of the broken vol. keys and i have no su. on stock ics so i cant use the cwm app!!

how did i get in cwm to do a factory reset now?

or is there any way to flash superuser over odin? i dont give a care bout my counter!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Ok...so u made jig...

Again enter into dl mode by jig n flash cwm..its so simple buddy...

After cwm...flash ardatdat kernel n den install rom manager..it has options to boot into recovery or flash bb rom....it has extended power menu
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karthik050782:
I think without cwm he wont be able to flash aradat kernel... Check unknownzd rom... Hope it will work...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KnockNuckle:
Maaan i know its simple and i have already flashed cwm bro!!!

But tell me ho i get in cwm. With non working vol. Keys and no root!!!

Without root i cant use cwm manager and on stock ics i dont have extended pwr menu!!!

I just need a odin flashable su. For ics then i can start cwm using the apk!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Have u tried adb now? If it recognize, u can boot into recovery mode for doing wipe data/factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
I think only this combination will work for you

A rom, where recovery.img is replaced by CWM recovery and the ROM(Odin flashable) has a rooted kernel with a extended menu
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KnockNuckle:
Yeah i tried adb but if i type in "adb reboot recovery" the system turn off and get suck at the loading screen... (The one with the big green bat. When u plug in the phone while its turned off.)

My phone id is shown in adb so connection is there

I tried with my gf. R too but theres. The same... AND YES i have turned on usb debugging

The funny thing the stock xxlq7 works now! Ive set back settings to standard and deleted all data so for now there are no fc issues anymore! The only thing i need is a odin flashable su. Or an other way to get in cwm to flash ardatdats kernal...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KnockNuckle:
Nj i need a rooted odin flashable rom... I can go in dl. Mode with usb jig and flash cwm then via odin but i need root to start cwm with the apk.. So that means i need a rooted odin flashable rom! Or a odin flashable superuser
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KnockNuckle:
Maan... I try everyting.. How do i get in this **** recovery!!

Also i dont understand why my phone dosent boot in recovery when i try it with adb?

Adb reboot

Adb reboot bootloader

Adb reboot recovery

With every one of this commands the phone shut down bit dosent restart! It stays on bat. loading screen!!

WHYY??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KnockNuckle:
Soo finally i opened my phone to see the broken flex cable!

I started the opened phone, pressed menu button and i pressed with a screw driver on the flex cable to get anyyy contact between the little wires in the cable!

So after 10-20 trys i finally got it to recovery!!!

So i flashed ardatdat now!! Rooted agin and waiting for Mazel now!!

THREAD CAN BE CLOSED!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
y dont u post a tutorial so that any one whos keys r nt working can try ur method n can get into recovery
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KnockNuckle:
Lolz

Yeah not bad idea! But i need someone who corrects my english if i write a tut. Gg
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abba94220:
Hello,

I've got CM10 nightly (20120827) and what about if I flash a more recent version of CM10 or CM9 through recouvert ? Will I loose my applications data ans my playlists ans all others data (SMS...) ?

And if I do a full wipe too ? (Should I do a full wipe ?)

PS : I'm not root (yeah that's odd but that's a bug)

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
I have the I9100 and when updating from one nightly to another no wipes are required. However moving from CM10 to CM9 is a different firmware altogether and so I would suggest full wipes and format system before installing CM9. Please read the instructions in the thread for your phone model before proceeding.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abba94220:
Thank you.

I just flashed it.

But there's a poblem : I can't access to the Play Store. When I open the app, it quits directly...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Engineer It:
did you do a clean installaion ??

wipe data factory reset

wipe cash

wipe dalvik cash
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abba94220:
Ni I did'nt.

But I flashed Gapps ans it's alright althought I lost a few contacts (I dind't backup theim. Five pretty girls dropped) :( (I mean I lost their telephone number...)

Thanks :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shadow071506:
With all the Jellybean Roms popping out for the Infinity, it's a little confusing to choose which ones are going to blend well with ones personality and usage... I'm not sure if this also applies to some, but it would be great if we could get some testimonials from those who have tried the different roms... probably post their pros and cons or maybe certain things and features that are not working with that Rom...

Hope someone could share their experiences here with the roms.. this might enlighten some users who are still contemplating whether to unlock their devices or not :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
I haven't tried a lot of ROMs for the tf700 yet, but I have noticed EOS' ROMs are basically stock-based, with some tweak to make the performance better and to OC. You can also slightly personalise things (like the statusbar color) or use a CM10 theme.

However, they are usually very stable, which is why I have been using them for months now on my Xoom, and chances are I'll use them on the tf700 as well ;)

If you are really into customisation, you should have a look into most CM10-based ROMs or OAKP.

They really try to get as many features crammed in the ROM as possible! :)

I myself don't need that customisation and have found that stock based ROMs, with tweaked kernels usually do the trick.

(Maybe a little OC as well, but that's not even a must for me.)

It really depends on what you want.

But since most JB roms are in pretty early stages, I'd recommend to have a look into one of the ROMs you seem to like, read the latest pages of the threads and see if there are many issues or not. Most common issues are also mentionned in the first post of the ROM thread!

Maybe if you really want a daily driver, you should go and use Zeus first, and when the JB are really stable, you can switch to those?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
All the JB roms are using the same alpha base... no gps and other bugs/performance issues. If you are looking to run JB I would wait awhile longer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] plennyoflenny:
Trying new custom ROM's is something you have to like. If you really want to have a nice and stable system you probably better

wait for a stable version. But if you want to experience the early stages of what will be coming, installing new ROM's is a lot of fun.

I currently have the CM10 ROM installed compiled by Hiemanshu. Still have issues but i am amazed by the performance of Jelly Bean.

When i bought my TF700 i was kind a dissapointed by the perfomance of ICS but now i have had an insight of Jelly Bean i am totally happy again!

That's exactly why installing custom ROM's is worth the effort.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pbrauer:
FWIW my experience is a little different. I tried the EOS and Baked Bean ROMS and like them both, but had an issue with the Portrait bug as one of my companies main apps requires Portrait if I want to use it on a Tablet. Also, even though I don't really need it, it did bother me that there was no GPS, and the wallpaper bug was just annoying. I figured that any issue with bootloader would eventually be fixed so I then did the TF700 version of the 300 build. Could not be happier. None of the bugs I just mentioned, Good performance, and I just installed Lux to address the brightness issue so that is not a problem either.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Did you apply the .30 update to get the TF700 bootloader back?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
Might have to give that a shot later now that we can go back to ICS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Krishna parmar:
umm i still confusedd...:confused::confused::confused::confused:

the recoveries provided...

at clockworkmod.com

are they permeanent or temporary...

and if permeanent..does it go(in odin) in the PIT section or which..

im jus confused...

urgent plz...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2012katas:
permananent...............maybe..................but u can change to a different recovery always......

well to flash manually through odin you may follow these steps...........again check for ur specific device as a precaution

On ODIN, Select the PDA button and browse to the recovery

Make sure the Re-Partition box is NOT checked

Select Start and Odin will do its thing.

It should flash the Recovery file and reboot the phone.

Otherwise through ROM manager PRO we can flash the recovery automagically....................:D

Is there any particular app which helps in monitoring data usage? I mean, I have loads of apps installed. But I just want Watsaap. I don't want other apps to use data. Is Thr any app which helps to enable just one app to use data? Do help me out!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
If you go in to Settings-Data Usage and then just scroll down through all the app you have got, pick the app you want to restrict background data for, click on that app, and scroll down to the bottom and you will see a section that says ' Restrict Background Data ' just click that box and problem solved. Do this to all the other app that you have downloaded ( apart from Whatsapp ) and you the apps will then only use data when you are actually using them.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolnand:
Actually that's a tiresome task. For a rooted phone I found a better task. Get app called LBE. It creates a firewall. And allows us to do what I wanted very easily. That's if I want only one app to take up my internet. And also lots basically an app which helps us to control the all kinds of permission. Anyways thanks for the reply!!:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Taraen:
Hey Guys,

my Father owns a Xperia Neo with Android 2.3.4 (Build number: 4.0.2.A.0.69) installed. He's running out of memory on the /data partition.

I've read about the 380->420MB patch, but before I'll brick the device by doing something stupid I just wanted to ask if this installation process would work:

Root the device with latest flashtool

Install CWM with the apk from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364509

Make a Nandroid Backup

Install the patch from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449917

Restore the Nandroid Backup

Reboot

I wanted to do it like that, because I didn't find a kernel for .96 firmware and I dont want to change the ROM because besides the few MBs left on /data my Father is fine with the device as it is.

So the main question left is: Does it work like that?

Thanks in advance

Taraen
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
If you restore the backup you made before flashing then you will lose whatever you have flashed.....

You make the backup in case the flashing process breaks your phone or you decide that you do want it anymore...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Taraen:
Sorry I forgot to write that I wanted to do an advanced restore and select the data partition as described in the patch's installation instructions.

From this thread

How do you do number 1? Does it litterally mean just place it anywhere on the SD card or do you somehow install it (with flashtools?). I've got a locked boot loader.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpfnzl:
Plug your phone into the computer with the USB cord.

In the status bar of your phone you will see USB connected. Tap on the USB connected notification, then at the bottom tap Turn on usb storage.

Copy the rom on your computer, open my computer, select the phones SD card and copy it to that folder (the root folder)

With a locked bootloader you are unable to do number 2 (flash Kernel) so this particular rom is not for you.

If you don't understand, how to copy to sd card, may i suggest a bit more reading/study before flashing.

Good luck.

EDIT: #2 allows for a locked bootloader. you can install rom.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsup:
Thanks but you misunderstand my question. "Download ROM file and place it on SD card" well that doesn't do anything you just have the files sitting there. At no step does it say how to actually install them? Am I missing something?

Nice! This should be a sticky to help reduce unnecessary threads about kernels. My only suggestion would be to run Quadrant 3 times and take the average number. Only because 3 runs will have different results every time

I am testing several kernels here. The fastest for me so far is trinity, but the battery is draining really fast. I then tried the 1400 MHz trinity and things got a little better with a good performance in quadrant.

I am testing motley now and seems good but a little slower than trinity. Home screen doesn't look as buttery as in trinity. I will keep testing a little longer.

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

Crap...i just had a reboot while using motley and started playing dead trigger. I returned to trinity 111 and it is definitely smoother than the others for me. Maybe it is because it is the first one i flashed and now when i try others, even wiping, something remains and the other kernels don't work right. Who knows....

Can't wait for the battery life results! :)
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
I posted about the so called battery life screen shot thread in there thread.

the only way to really test battery life is to start with ful ly charged battery each day. 1 TEST PER DAY or charge cycle.

you will have to get a mathematical equation figured out first .it would have to be something like

cpu cycles x screen brightness x memory usage and s on divided by then another equation to determined battery pull watts im guessing

you would have to keep the first exact on each test device to determine the battery life ..

ok while typing this i have decided its way over my head and quite honestly not sure it can be done ..

HELP My brain now hurts ..
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
The best way to test CPU performance would be to make sure that all kernels are at the same exact core frequency max, and all cores enabled, on performance governor. Performance governor alone doesn't enable all cores, and benchmarks sometimes don't trigger all 4 cores as on either (it can, but not always, and that can lead to totally different numbers on different kernels).

Some kernels have higher max frequencies then others, some use the new CPU quiet driver and some don't (although this wouldn't really matter if all cores are forced on for testing).

Some kernels have higher GPU clocks then others, some have higher refresh rates then others, some have both higher refresh rates and clocks, etc.

Personally, the best way to judge a kernel is by what features are implemented in it for example, is it linaro compiled? Does it use the old hotplug method for CPU cores, or the new quiet driver? Updated WiFi driver? fsync toggle? Was it built with RNDIS drivers?

Quadrant isn't a stable means of benchmarking (run it 3 times in a row and watch those numbers change), but generally speaking, if the same kernel is compiled with linaro, vs no linaro, the linaro build would be faster (don't quote me on this). Not all those kernels are linaro that I'm aware of.

Also, Jay's buttery smooth tweaks, his fsync doesn't work on franco.Kernel. That kernel specifically uses a different command to toggle fsync, and unless that method was used, any I/O results would be void (basically comparing fsync kernels to non-fsync, where fsync would obviously dominate). And there is even the possibility the ROM you were using may interfere with CPU clocks and voltages unknowingly.

So with all that said, trying to find the "best" kernel, is going to take a bit more effort then just benching with Quadrant :p

And for my own personal opinion (no hard-testing done) I like franco.Kernel :) Stock clocks and voltage, fsync toggle, new CPU quiet driver and WiFi driver, works awesomely :) faux's kernel would be my second preferred kernel, only because lack of fsync control, and getting rid of the CPU quiet driver.

Yeah. I know. I'm going to add a other features section. If someone else could do it that would be good. If not, I'll do it later.

Used Motleys 520 at first, probably still my favorite. Used trinity and both of clemsyns latest. Clemsyns elite 1.8 got too hot for my liking, I'm using the 1.5 UV right now and batteries not too great, but its very smooth. Trinity is smooth as well but Motleys 520 seemed to both perform better and give better battery life at comparable clock speeds to the rest.

So Motleys will be my daily, but I refuse to stop flashing!

They varied so much did you use all the same governor? Stock is interactive. All the same I/O? That is quite a difference a shocking one at that.

[Nexus 7 General] bcvictory:
Yeah. I used interactive on all of them. Set the minimum at the lowest it could go and the max as high as it could go on each kernel.
[Nexus 7 General] ÜBER™:
-_- that's not fair.... nobody uses the absolute high... redo... at stock frequency.

You can't tell which is best if they are not under the same circumstances. Obviously Franco is top because his only goes to 1.3 which is stock. While others are over clocked... thats unreliable.

For benchmarks... not battery performance.

So your telling me the benchmarks where at different frequencies too? Wow have you never done a science expierenment? You don't test under different variables... that's inconsistent.

The Franco kernel is very good, but I have always used the latest version r31 gave me problems with CM ROM 10.1. I had to re-use M-kernel which is not far behind.
[Nexus 7 General] dstryrwiz:
For your performance tests, wouldn't it make sense to compare them also at stock, because isn't it sort of a given that a kernel capable of overclocking well perform better when overclocked than a kernel that is operating at stock? I don't deny that it's possible that M-Kernel could be the best overall, but unless you compare stock speeds, you have no way of accurately comparing it with Franco Kernel as Franco doesn't overclock, and Metallice doesn't even recommend overclocking for daily use with his kernel either. Benchmarks of situations that are outside of standard daily usage are sorry of useless outside of just proving what the kernels are capable of, but it would make more sense to compare them all with holding the speed as a control, like you did with the battery tests. I have yet to make the jump to 4.2 as I use Kaos Droid and the developer for that ROM just released his first 4.2 build, but as M-Kernel has received a lot of 4.2 development, I have been considering switching to that from Franco Kernel if it performs better. Also if you by any chance can put in your comparison which kernels run Flash, I would truly appreciate it, as that would help put a good piece of information on all the kernels in one place, and I know for some people that can make or break a kernel (and same thing with OTG). Thank you.
[Nexus 7 General] bcvictory:
The 1.3 results are stock speed? Unless you mean benchmarks. I will try to do the flash results the next time I redo it.
[Nexus 7 General] dstryrwiz:
You give 1.3 results for battery life, which is great, but not for performance comparisons. It's hard to accurately judge a kernel running at stock to a kernel being overclocked to 1.7. Just because it's possible to overclock it that high doesn't mean people will actually run it that high regularly, and the kernel running at stock will likely always lose a benchmark comparison if you run it like that. You lack a control for that test, so there's no real way in your current results of comparing more real world performance. Also maybe Antutu might be a slightly better benchmark tool than Quadrant as it's updated much more regularly and can test the kernels a little better. Quadrant is more susceptible to cheating also from what I can tell, and since it's not getting updated, in may not reflect aspects of current hardware as well. Just some thoughts.
