Hi Devs,

I was looking for a good custom ICS ROM for my galaxy R.

My only concern with the stock ICS ROM is that i dont have the option to switch from 2g(GSM Only) to 3g(GSM/WCDMA Only). I used to have this option in gingerbread and i still wonder why it has been removed in ICS

I tried installing Mazel II ICS ROM, never worked couldnt even use for a minute as i was getting android.process stopped.

Tried MIUI just the same never worked.

Now i am looking for a a better and stable ICS custom ROM. Or a fix for stock ICS ROM regarding the 2g to 3g toggle.

PLS SUGGEST

Thanks

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u.b.o.o.t:
Hi folks,

after a couple of hours spent reading the forum gaining many valuable info from tutorials, etc. - one important question remains for me:

How do I do a full backup of my Xperia Pro before I start modding / rooting it? There is no stock recovery console, right?

I do not intend to unlock the bootloader as this seems to be not fully reversible (DRM keys get lost)...

If a full backup is impossible - what is the best backup option / compromise?

After that, I want to root and then remove bloatware. I'm still on GB 2.3.4, build 4.0.2.A.0.69. Will switch to stock ICS later, presumably next year.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IssacKo:
There is no need to backup if you just wish to root as long as you ensure that everything is done properly and you don't end up messing up your software. That's a different story if you wish to change to a custom ROM though. What you want to do is back up important stuff like your messages and contacts. To do those, you can use any app found on the Android market. Titanium backup is a good option, though I don't use it myself. Files on your SD card will not be touched, so there's no need to worry on that count.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manasgirdhar:
There are recoveries that work on locked bootloader. You can use them to backup everything on the NAND. Or like the person above me said you can use applications to backup specific things like Messages,etc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u.b.o.o.t:
Thanks!

I finally decided to upgrade to ICS before rooting and because this procedure involves flashtool, I found out that flashtool is able to restore kernel and system partition with locked boot loader.

Now, my phone is rooted and I finally was able to backup and clean it up with Titanium Backup which I already had a license for...

Another tool that I discovered: X-Parts! It allows to boot into CWM with boot loader still locked... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&hl=de I know that it is not as fail proof as CWM installed via boot loader, but it is still better than nothing...

Information and Modules description

I was in the need to add some missing kernel modules to my Xperia Mini Pro sk17i with v4.1.B.0.587, and I couldn't find modules compiled for that ICS kernel version, so I decided to build them myself.

All modules have been compiled from official sony Xperia v4.1.B.0.587 kernel sources, using Android NDK r5, and they should be fine with any ICS based Xperia 2011 device (with that kernel version).

This is the list of modules, with some interesting programs using them:

fuse.ko: Cryptonite (used to create encrypted EncFS or Truecrypt volumes, adds support to mount drives so that are visibile to the whole Android system. Note: Cryptonite is not currently able to load the module automatically, you need to load it from Terminal Emulator..se more below)

usb-storage.ko, nls_utf8.ko, ntfs.ko (compiled with write support, currently

untested

): USB OTG Helper (used to mount external USB drives with USB On The Go cables).

cifs.ko, slow-work.ko, md4.ko: CifsManager (used to mount network shares)

ext4.ko, jbd2.ko: if you wish to use the EXT4 filesystem

Installation Instructions

Attached to this post you will find a ZIP that can be used along with CWM Recovery to install the modules in system.

Download the module, put it inside you SD card, reboot your phone in CWM (which you can install with the Xperia CWM Auto-Installer) and select install zip from sdcard, and browsed to the ZIP. Reboot your phone when install finishes.

Loading Modules

No module is automatically loaded at system startup: this saves your memory and battery (some of those modules are known to drain your battery if always loaded).

To manually load a module you have to open the Android Terminal Emulator and tap:

su
insmod /system/lib/modules/MODULENAME.ko

where MODULENAME is the name of the module you want to load.

Other useful commands:

lsmod

to see currently running commands

rmmod MODULENAME.ko

to unload a module.

If you wish to manually load a module at phone startup you should use init.rd or any other method (?) to run custom scripts at startup.

Load Order

Some modules need to be loaded in a specific order:

slow-work.ko must be loaded before cisf.ko

jbd2.ko must be loaded before ext4.ko

Terminal emulator says cannot allocate memory.

Oh god, why??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zxp:
Terminal emulator doesn't start? Or is the "insmod" command output telling you that it cannot allocate memory? Either way it seems like your RAM is full and there is not enough space to load the module(s) you want to load.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chepoz:
No, it says like that after I install some modules. Some of them running well, n some says like that.

So maybe my ram not much left to run those modules. Thanx for answering. :thumbup:

is the slow-work.ko still needed for ICS? from what I searcher it was needed for froyo (2.2)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zxp:
It's a while since I compiled those modules and I may recall wrong, but...as far as I can remember it was related to the Linux Kernel version on which our Android OS ROM is based. That is, the Xperia 2011 lineup uses Kernel 2.6 (both on Android 2.3 and 4.0), which requires slow-work to be compiled; if it was based on Linux Kernel v3.x then slow-work.ko wouldn't be needed.

i'm getting the same error

i'm on .587 stock kernel & rom. cant load modules:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavinduSha:
fixed!

sorry for disturbing u guys. I figured it. that message appears because the module is running. its my fault that I didn't check whether its running or not.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zxp:
It seems like those modules are already loaded in memory, as it happened to RavinduSha.

Try lsmod: if usb-storage.ko and ntfs.ko are listed by lsmod, they are already loaded, and that's why you get those errors.

I want to learn to build some modules by myself because I want to try to build some drivers for cameras, scanner, etc... Can you tell me about where you've got the source code to build or the way to build it?

I've downloaded source code of my android on developer.sonymobile.com. When I extracted it I saw the folder structure like "kernel/drivers/usb". Did you build the modules from source code of that folder?

For those who still have a problem with mounting USB devices even after flashing the modules:

1.Flash the lupus kernel of your choice

2.Install Terminal Emulator app

3.In terminal Emu type "su" and grant super user permission

4.type "lupus" enter kernel menu

5.Choose option "4"(for usb otg options)

6.Activate it

7.exit terminal

8.retry mounting the usb device

Hit Thanks it it helped! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ashishkr:
THANKS, Its working successfully with stock kernal

I hope will not effect the chipset as there is already support on the device to connect mouse & keyboard by default (as mentioned in official white paper), thus it can give enough power required.

One Question: Can I unload ntfs.ko, still will it mount pen drives (FAT/FAT32) or its compulsory?

I am using a ROM, but am unable to leave feedback for the creature since I have less than 10 posts. Can someone help me to provide the feedback on the ROM somehow?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1879323

The above link is the one I am using, and it is very good, but a few hiccups here and there that cause it to become unstable.

I am also experiencing some odd battery issue since using it, I dont know why. What happened was I was fiddling around with the settings and thought I would try out the calibrate battery feature with the ROM and see what happened :) - since then my battery takes hours to charge, but is empty in a few minutes so I am uncertain what happened.

Anyway, if anyone can help me provide some feedback with my experiance that would be helpful :)

I had the same boot load error. You have to use 2.3.5 since you have already flashed to it once, you cannot back up to froyo.

Is your phone a boost or sprint?

Sprint can be flashed with either the sprint sbf or the boost sbf, But Boost can only be used with the boost mobile.

Reflash 2.3.5 and do a full wipe on the phone and it should fix the problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuwidol:
I've been on Android about 6 months now. First I had a Galaxy Note & now I have a Galaxy Note 2. In that time I've tried around 30 email clients (some free & some paid versions) but I've still not some across a client that can offer me some (what I consider) very simple features.

What I'd like the client to do is:

1. Be able to resize within the email view so I can see the whole email (or at least the width of it if the mail is longer than one page length). This is such a simple thing but the only one I've found that does this is the official Hotmail client but that brings with it a whole load of other issues... Even the Gmail client doesn't let you do this & you're forced to scroll around the screen trying to put together a virtual jigsaw puzzle in your head of what the whole email should look like.

2. Be able to set an option in the settings to always allow images. Again a simple feature. Something similar to the Gmail app would also be OK where you set it for each sender separately.

3. Always display as HTML.

4. Push notifications that display the message title/sender in the notification.

Hopefully someone knows of such a client but I haven't found one yet.

Thanks for your help people.

Have you tried Enhanced Email? It does all these things that you're looking for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuwidol:
Thanks. I downloaded Enhanced Email from the play store. It does most of the stuff but doesn't let you know the source or title of the incoming mail. Just tells you that you have new mail.

Also having some problems with formatting emails in mobile view.

It's probably the best I've tried though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
You probably won't find an email client that tells you the sender and title because usually people receive multiple emails at a time from various senders.

And try K 9 mail
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuwidol:
Having used enhanced email for a few days I can say that it's definitely not up to use full time. When ever I reboot my phone it deletes my Hotmail account, it doesn't notify properly, has no push for Gmail, can't format html into mobile view effectively & has a poor gui. Very expensive for why it does.

I have tried K9 before & unless it's been updated recently there isn't an option to resize an email so that the while mail is displayed at once is there?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
What do you mean resize your email? You can pinch to zoom in it though, I used it a week or so ago
