timescape ui is really laggy. do vanilla android like cm9/10 or aokp will do

cm9 --- interactive governer, overclock to 1.6ghz through settings -do not use task killers, they are pointless and eats some resource away even if they do get the job done

yes 1.6ghz is safe, i have this setting for a while

although cm9/10, aokp kernel drain a more battery than stock firmware

The custom JB roms are really fast compared to ICS.

I've also got a LT15i; here's a quick overview of the steps needed to get JB on your phone.

unlock the bootloader (there's an official sony website to talk you through this)

flash a decent baseband (use this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688049).

Flash a rom of your choice - I suggest the latest AOKP from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1859518

Things you have to know: -

How to get flashtool installed on your computer, and your computer connected to your phone.

unlocking your bootloader loses your DRM.

So my advice is read up on the stuff you need to know (if you haven't found out all this stuff already).

Then backup your SD card to your computer.

Then do the steps (1-3) to get the latest AOKP rom. This rom is officially in testing, but it is stable and fast.

Good luck.

P.S. I'm using Baseband 77, but most people recommend baseband 72.

I'm using Lupus kernel, but you should start with the kernel included in the AOKP rom.

After you are comfortable with CWM backups, you can experiment a bit more without worrying too much about data loss.

(more good luck :))

I don't think so my friend...

I have switched from cm10 to Milan ICS for 2 day and i am dissapointed

I change because i want to use a stable rom and every functions r working great

But my decision is wrong, stock ics is the most stable but i can't play any games without lag :banghead: Ram is low and it very annoying

P/s: i miss my cm10 :p

Hit thank button if i helped u :D

CM 10 with Lupus Kernel and besttt fix is rock solid.

Fast, stable (no random reboots) and everything works.

And u dont need 1,6 Ghz. 1 Ghz is enough on CM 10.

Possible to root without unlocking bootloader

Thanks all for such nice advise.

I am not new to rooting, had a rooted HTC Desire for 3 years :)

Though, I do not want to miss on the DRM ( if it has any use ).

Is it possible to root without unlocking bootloader ?

I think it is but would be great if you nice people can advise me of the advantages and disadvantages of rooting without unlocking.

I would go with CM or AOKP.

Edit: As mentioned by ironlady, does AOKP/CM drain more battery than stock ?

Why ? I would assume that with all the extras of the stock, more batter should be consumed.

AOKP/CM are almost nearing AOSP and are no frills, why they drain more battery ?

This was my observation with HTC Desire. The HTC Sense based roms always consumed more battery than AOSP.

Thanks again.

Abhay
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotfingers:
Well, I don't know what DRM is for - something about "digital media rights"

(It hasn't affected playback of movies or sounds on my phone.).

It is possible to root without unlocking bootloader, but then you can't have an AOKP/CM rom.

You need the unlocked bootloader to flash the custom kernel required by these roms.

(

Flashing a kernel requires running "flashtool" from a computer. before flashing the kernel you must copy the rom to your phone's SD card.

After you flash the kernel, boot the phone and press the "volume down" button when the buttons light up.

This gets you into CWM recovery where you can flash the rom

)

I'm pretty sure that the battery drain depends on how you set up the kernel. If you over-clock, then more battery drain. If you under-clock then better battery life.

After all of this two more points of advice: -

If you try CM10, then use the Lupus kernel, and instructions posted by "besttt" to set up your phone nicely. This is a more tricky install.

If you try AOKP, then install it normally as described in the 1st post of the thread

(the custom kernel is a file called "boot.img" in the rom. You need to extract the file, and flash it with flashtool when you're ready to install the rom).

This is an easier install.

Enjoy :)

Hi everyone,

After coming from the Galaxy ace forums I've gotten my hands on a Galaxy S i9000

But after some reading and searching for a step-by-step guide on how to flash Rom's on a Galaxy S and what the requirements are.. I'm kind off a loss now. Reading bits here about flashing By Odin and pre-rooting first, I'm kind off confused now.

Any help ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
I have no experience with CM9/ICS and I personally didn't try any different battery packs but from my experience you could do a lot of things to cut battery drain to a minimum (reducing the WiFi scan freq. to a lower value, gaining more control over the CPU frequencies in different states, prevent processes and services from re-/starting etc.)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
You shod increase the WiFi scan interval frequency to a HIGHER number, not lower :p

I know you're not an English native (like me, too) and I probably didn't use the proper terms for noobs - but this can't be a simple misunderstanding of terms - just think about it a minute (or two)... :silly:

you can't set the scan interval frequency to a higher number... because there isn't such a thing :cool: but there's also no scan frequency value lol. Anyway you can set the scan interval to a higher number (= more time between scans) to lower the scan frequency :D

So there is no value for the frequency (silly me) but that's what the (higher) value for the interval does: lower the frequency ;)

[HTC One X] kanay2000:
Correct, or I think, you could break your phone if you do update :(
[HTC One X] Gammarax:
You can update by locking your bootloader again and flashing RUU (google on how to do that), but if something goes wrong during RUU installation, then your device will be bricked.

From what I've read, flashing/installing RUU is one of the most dangerous things you can do to your phone, because if anything goes wrong (eg. your battery is not >30%), your device will be bricked.

BTW, don't regret that you unlocked your bootloader/rooted. It's one of the most fun things to do with your phone. Just make sure you read guides first so you don't screw up ;) viewing youtube videos before installing stuff helps a ton too.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Flashing an RUU is pretty safe if you have battery. Crossing the road with hox in pocket is more dangerous.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
You don't lose warranty for rooting, but unlocking, supposedly yes. If its the serial you are after, it should be on a tiny sticker next to the main lower connection port. If that's gone you might be able to get it from adb or fastboot, one or the other can't remember which. Try them both... try adb devices and check the response. If its not you serial it responds with then fastboot will. Type fastboot devices and it should reply with it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
That's weird and not right. I think you should contact ASUS again and try not to talk to Michiel :), you should be able to unlock your tablet if you want, it is your right to do so. Yes it will void your warranty again, but ASUS shouldn't be able to dictate what you do with your newly fixed tablet. You need to speak to another person, Michiel is right in that your serial is blocked, that means your warranty is voided for unlocking (not rooting), but if they relocked your tablet in the process you should be able to unlock again. Are you sure your tablet was relocked by ASUS? It might be that they just flashed the stock ROM and left it unlocked...

Voided warranty means that you won't get free tech fixes for your tablet and you won't be able to receive Over the air updates to the stock rom, it doesn't in anyway say that ASUS has the ability to cripple the use of your tablet. :P

So i have the same problem. I sent mine in for a softbrick here in the US. They "replaced" the motherboard and the battery (why i have no idea). I too,am now unable to unlock. The difference with me is I can see my Serial in settings...so I know alot of other people were having trouble with the unlock tool not working on devices that were never sent in for service. So Im not sure if its the tool or the serial issue. I called asus and they offered to rma to fix it...after alot of *****ing. I told them if they are going to lock my bootloader then they need to give me my warranty back..they cant have it both ways. I paid to unlock my device with my warranty...I really dont want to rma again because it took like a month before...

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
I believe if you still have a serial number, unlike the OP, you should be able to unlock. I unlocked my tablet a couple days ago, it took a lot of tries for it to work (like 100). It just kept saying unknown server error... so my guess is that ASUS servers suck :D just keep trying. Also I found that I got the google account approval prompt more often when I waited a couple minutes between tries. Hope this helps good luck

Note: I might have tapped the unlock button maybe 50-100 times xD
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krhainos:
This gives me hope -- My serial number is visible through the About Tablet screen (C3OKCT******-series). I'll keep trying!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krhainos:
Well, mine actually recognizes the serial number -- it's visible under both the Settings and getprop ro.serialno.

If I had to guess, it's because my mainboard was replaced through RMA, but the tablet retained the same serial number -- and the unlocker server doesn't allow the same serial number to unlock twice.

EDIT: Just been told by the know-nothing over the phone support that the Device Unlock Tool service isn't experiencing any problems, and that they're unable to offer any assistence because the tool will void the warranty. Asus "support" is flipping worthless.

A small update

It appears the problem I'm having is directly related to this article : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32271197

I'm seeing the exact same things in my logcats. The frustrations seem to be endless -- Asus' initial solution appeared to be having affected owners who had both RMA'd their tablet and involved a mainboard replacement. Unfortunately, their proposed solution didn't seem to help the people unable to unlock.

My initial suspicion that their database that records device serial number and internal identifiers not appearing to match the actual hardware seems to be the cause.

So the server is pretty much just refusing to process your serial number? The funny thing for me is that if they would just have fixed the I/O issue and made a working jellybean rom everything would be okay but I'm getting really sick of the browser freezing every page and YouTube not loading because the I/O is stalling.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krhainos:
It has to do more with unit serial numbers with internal serial numbers (cpuid/tegraid/wifi mac) that aren't matching with what the unlock servers have recorded. This would happen if the mainboard was replaced and the unlock server wasn't updated with the information from the new mainboard.

Ex: Say my original mainboard had a with Tegra serialnumber of 3C2B, my replacement mainboard's Tegra serialnumber 1116. The Asus' unlock server is still expecting the old serialnumber(3C2B) as they haven't been told of my replacement mainboard.

Some people have gotten mainboards with the information programmed in wrong (O's for 0's, etc), and thusly are required another RMA to make sure the information is matched between the unlock server and what's actually inside. Jury's still out on if an RMA even fixes the issue.

Some people's information was wrong ever since it left the factory originally -- so this explains why some people who never RMA'd weren't able to unlock.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparky28000:
Now that last part does make sense. I'm still wondering though why my device doesn't recognize a serial number of any sorts the ****ting thing is that I should be able to edit one file to make it work but because I can't unlock I can't have root so I can't edit the file...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
You would think, but I'm betting the info is on a chip instead of a file in primary storage.

Hi,

I got this phone about a month ago, and it's currently running the stock ROM (GB 2.3.3). This is my first Android device! (My last phone was SE K850i).

I've been using it for a while, but the user interface is pretty laggy, and I don't know why. Plus, it has all kinds of apps that the carrier installed that I cannot remove at all.

There seem to be so many ROMs around here, both for ICS and GB that I don't really know which one to go with. I don't need many features, I just want Wi-Fi tethering and the Camera to work, I want to optimize battery life and remove all the crappy apps I cannot uninstall, and to upgrade to the latest and best working Android version.
