[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
Okay, although my Galaxy Nexus is all rooted and customized with CM10, I've left my N7 in pristine, unrooted condition.

So now I have the 4.2.1 Zip downloaded from Google's site, verified the version I have matches the 'from' version of the zip, and I'd like to update it. Is that possible on a non-rooted device?

It's been awhile since I've tried to do this stuff without CWM, so is it as simple as renaming to update.zip, putting it somewhere, and rebooting to recovery?

Or do I need to use good ole adb? Or is this even possible without unlocking (and thus wiping?)

Thanks

Hi, my father have Neo V with adroid 2.3 and he can't install offiacial update branded by his provider. So is there way to install offical ICS update without rooting phone? (downlad update and put it into sues or something...)

Thanks.

Why can he not update via seus or PCCompanion? What does the error say when he tries that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Corn Flake:
"You have the newest system"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
Then root is needed, download flashtool, root, flash stock ICS .ftf file and your done.

Find flashtool link in the stickies I the dev section.

You don't need root.

Just download flashtool, and the corresponding .ftf firmware file for your device.

Then flash it to your device using Flashtool.

No need to root if you are flashing stock....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] frank_harmann:
Still trying to figure out why i get home launcher fc loops after a while (2nd reboot). It seems to dislike some setting i make (but i just enabled wifi, forced 2d gpu rendering and set smartassv2/sio. So i will have to narrow it down to one of those. First i will try some reboots without changing anything and see.....)

EDIT:

very odd behaviour (i did several installs to check, with recommended aroma settings):

1st boot: sometimes everything is fine, sometimes fc on music info and credential manager (though i use same aroma options and do full wipe)

2nd boot: boot animation is very slow or boot loop

3rd boot (if i get this far): home launcher fc's

EDIT: see Page 3 for update

Running on suavev6 btw.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] medozse7s:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jass5991:
Hey guys. For the Music Info Downloader is the Walkman thingy. ANY version of the Walkman thingy causes it. Use something like Google Play Music app (free). Credential Manager, I dunno. My AROMA options are....

System Apps: Xperia T

Launcher: Xperia T 5x4

Statusbar: Transparent

Sound Engine (Does not matter. Both are buggy)

Icons: Pureness

Root App: Superuser (SuperSU doesn't enable root access)

Wifi Modules: Don't choose (Using NightElf Kernel)

Bootanimation: Jelly Sandwich

Apps: Titanium Backup and No-Frills

Mods: Play Store and Google Ears

Advanced: Up to you, but always wipe Dalvik

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

This is most stable set up IMO
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vinhpz0:
No Onscreen Button ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] frank_harmann:
Yes, after trying various setups i also found two problems (which the rom is probably not to blame for):

1. Walkman Music Player might cause credential manager fc's (though it works for me now:confused:). May be related to problem 2. Anyway i would not install any of the sound mods, but AC!D (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1735698) instead (make sure you have 40MB free /system before installing that, otherwise you might run out of /system).

2. If you are on suavev6 kernel you will run into trouble if you don't turn off swap creation on /system (which is default enabled in suavev6!!!). This will cause out of space problems on /system which will result in fc's and bootloops. So make sure shardul.swap.mb=0 is set in /data/local.prop before installing rom (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27607739&postcount=69). If you wipe data (as i did), then install new rom, change /data/local.prop and install new rom again (without wiping /data). This also solved problem 1 for me (probably also related to [temporary] /system shortage). (May be someone can create an update.zip just containing the modified /data/local.prop?? Then you could just flash that after wiping but before installing rom).

My current installation of 7.0 seems stable (using the aroma settings from maxio + nofrills + link2sd), but i have to use it a little longer to be sure. Speed is superb (smartassv2/sio@1.4). Battery lifetime also (5% in 8 hours, no usage, Wifi on).

Update:

Best settings for me:

System Apps: Xperia T

Launcher: Xperia T 5x4

Statusbar: Xperia T

Sound Engine: none (install AC!D later)

Icons: Pureness

Root App: Superuser

Wifi Modules: Stock (for suave)

Bootanimation: none

Apps: No-Frills, Link2SD

Mods: Google Ears

Advanced: Wipe Dalvik

I didn't choose epic bootanimation because of it's size in /system. You also have to manually delete /system/media/bootanimation.zip (13MB!) to free up some space on /system.

After that you are able to install AC!D sound mod(Walkman variant) and will still have 10MB free on /system. Though you can still remove some crap like WeatherWidget(5,6MB), SemcDNLA(4,5MB), SemcNotes(2.8MB)....

But now comes the bad thing: I am still facing random reboots. They sometimes happen when i login directly after boot. Launcher starts and the last thing i see is NoFrills changing to smartassv2/sio, so it's probably related to that (my guess is, that there are lots of sdcard accesses just after reboot and it dislikes changing io govenor while busy. So i will try to leave noop for a while and see if that's the cause. Never had it on another rom though. And i am coming from JS6.2.5, so a quiet similar rom).

Xperia Neo JS 7.3

Installed this today and got some serious issues-

Xperia Neo - Stock partitions with 327 MB system

Alliance v1.5 Kernel by NightElf,

Jelly Sandwich 7.3 - Clean install after factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik

1. Screen rotation is inverted.

2. Stuck at boot animation in first attempt. Had to pull battery and restart to get into ROM

3. Everytime phone reboot, Credential Manager and Music info downloader crashes.

4. Walkman with Clearbass did not install.

Probably lot of issues are due to the small system partition of the Neo. How much space does this ROM take?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lidodido:
Everything works fine for me. AROMA didn't include the option to wipe Dalvik Cache and after I did that in CWM everything started working perfectly.

Although Google Search is missing, and Photo/Video-widget. I also ticked Facebook in Xperia and Timescape in Aroma but none of them got installed. Accidently deleted something?

Also, OTA updater yells about a 7.3.0.2 update, but when I run it and reboot everything starts crashing and I have to wipe Dalvik again, and then it keeps saying there's an update and that I'm still on 7.3.

Besides that, all basic ROM-functions are working superbly, great ROM as always Max :)

EDIT: Screen rotation is inverted for me too!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dutta_d1:
Could you check in TB how much space this ROM is taking and how much free space you have in system partition?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lidodido:
The ROM uses 327MB, and I suppose the free memory next to it in the list is the amount of free space in the system partition, and in that case it's 3,2MB which doesn't seem like much to me...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] simosm:
to upgrade from 7.1 to 7.3 on locked BL, do I need to wipe data? When was trying previously to upgrade to 7.2, if I didn't do the wipes, I got stuck on boot. But it's a pain to every time do all the config again...

Obviously the cache and dalvik wipes are not an issue to do in any case, it is the data wipe I would like to avoid if not necessary... Of course been in locked BL, if the upgrade fails it is even more hassle as I need do the whole process from scratch (flash shock rom, previous kernel, root, new kernel, cwm, custom rom)...

Anyone on locked BL can confirm that wiping data is not needed?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dutta_d1:
The 327 MB you see in TB is the capacity of your System partition. So I guess you are using MT15i and never flashed Neo V ftf files.

The 3.2 MB is the free space left in your system partition. So what I am thinking is that probably your system partition got full and the ROM did not install fully. Hence the missing apps.

Also if you have got Walkman, does it have ClearBass?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lidodido:
No ClearBass, even though I selected that, so you might be right. Any ways of clearing the system-partition up or is it a wipe and re-install that solves it? Have never flashed any Neo V ftf-files, but have read about it increasing the size of the system partition. I just assumed they were included in most ROM's so never looked more into that :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dutta_d1:
The system partition is wiped anyway when installing or it can be manually formatted from mounts and storage in CWM. But it would have no effect as the ROM itself is larger than the partition. And no, ROMs cannot include those FTF files so stuck with 327 MB partition unless those files are flashed manually.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] virgananta93:
got some issuses about stuck and inverted rotating
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lidodido:
Thanks, will have to flash those files then!

In that case, the only ROM-related issue I have is the screen rotation being inverted.

Some issues whit 7.4 version

First, congratulations for your great job. I'ts a fantastic ROM. And sorry for my bad English.

I have an MT15i and have upgrade from 7.2.1 to 7.4 (without wipe). All is OK but two issues:

- At the moment of power on the phone the application "SemcMetadataCleanup" crash,

- When I execute an application sometimes the application "CredentialManagerService_1_5" crash,

I fact, I detected these issues in 7.3 version too.

For the moment, I had return to the 7.2.1 version that for my is absolutely stable.

Qith wiping only cache and dalvik cache

And choose tabbed system ui in aroma

Then reboot

After that..you can used quick panel settings

Without any problem :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] simosm:
Thanks,indeed with the AOKP tabbed statusbar I can access the quickpanel settings, with the T statusbar the settings app was missing (would be nice if added back in next rom update, I actually preferred the T statusbar)

BTW, with locked bootloader, I still have not managed to find the right way to re-flash rom or update without ending up with getting stuck at Sony logo and having to restart with the whole process from stock rom... So I guess wiping everything every time, including /system, is a must for locked BL, even when updating with the same rom...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] FMANBunnY:
Hey guys, would really appreciate if you guys can help me out on this one...

I installed the rom and its amazing, simply love it; but there is a problem that I simply cannot solve, i have done everything I could think of:

- reinstalled the rom (JS 7.4)

- changed kernels (tried nightelf 1.5 lite and full, alliance, suave, stock...).

- changed basebands.

I tried all the combinations of the above I could think of, and im completely out of ideas now...

currently im on suave v6 and baseband .587, and I got the battery life shown in the pictures...

If you have any ideas on how I can fix this i'd love to hear them and try them out, because 7 hours of battery life without doing absolutely anything is really very wierd :/

I left home at 7:30 am and by 3 pm I had no more battery on my phone, had to come home to pick the charger up so I could be reachable.

Hope someone can shed some light on this subject.. like I said, any suggestion you have that you think might fix it up ill take it (f.ex. however you set up and installed JellySandwich on your phone, etc... maybe if It works for you it might work for me? just an idea).

Thanks in advanced
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bertellio:
Maybe you could have a problem with mediaserver. Try to download "media rescan root" and disable mediaserver with it.

Then download "Betterbattery stats" and look accuratly for problems with its guide.

Can you see the same problem with other roms?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] FMANBunnY:
I'll try to disable media server with it as you said and see if that helps me out a bit.

I already have betterbattery stats but the problem isn't in deep sleep, in fact I get pretty good deep sleep.

What I find weird the most is that screen is whats taking up most of the battery, and I keep it locked most of the time, even have brightness set to the lowest I possibly can to be able to still view the screen, its like it goes into deep sleep, but the screen keeps eating up the battery even when its turned off, so that its like its been turned on for the whole 7 hours.

I don't know if I've made myself clear enough :/

I'm going to try your mediaserver idea for tomorrow and see how it goes and ill report back at night and see how it went, thanks :)

if anyone out there knows what other reason it might be I'd appreciate the help on how to fix it, cheers

Google Maps works ok. But for any other compass application downloaded from the market like GPS Test, Swiss Army Knife, etc. the compass is inverted. For example, N and S show ok. But if you point E, compass shows W and if you point W, compass shows E.
