[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
Tegra 3 < Dual Krait < Exynos4412 on a pure hardware basis.

Software quality pushes dual Krait ahead of Exynos 4412 - Samsung's implementation of Jellybean "project butter" on Exynos4 has been a total failure. Qualcomm's HWC implementation blows Samsung's out of the water. "Butter" enabled Tegra3 JB blobs from the Nexus 7 aren't usable on other T3 devices because T3 is even more of a disaster than Exynos4 in terms of SoC vendor support.

TI has Omapzoom

Qualcomm has CodeAurora

NVidia gets a big "**** YOU" and middle finger from Linus

Samsung strives to achieve the standards of failure set by Nvidia, which currently has them as the target of a social media ****storm due to around 200k angry CM users on Exynos devices that Samsung has ****ed over in the past year by driving the CM Exynos maintainer team beyond the point of exhaustion.

So there's nothing outdated about the dual Krait in the Xperia T. Software support for Qualcomm Krait devices is unambiguously superior to Exynos4.

I don't know where you're getting this "lack of dev support" BS from, unless you're specifically talking about the TX and not the T. At least two ERDs (codeworkx and gokhanmoral) have switched from Samsung devices to the T, and a third (myself) is working on switching to the TL. (I'm talking with the devrel guys about whether there will be any solution for getting a bootloader-unlocked TL if you pay full price...) I hate AT&T...

There's also the aspect of how easy/hard a device is to work with. CM10 on the T took only about 3 weeks to get well beyond where CM10 is on any Exynos4 device even after months of work because Exynos4 is such an utter ****ing nightmare to work with.

The only CPUs out there now that can beat the dual Krait in the TL are, unsurprisingly enough, both only available in the new Nexus devices - quad Krait in the Nexus 4, and the first true dual Cortex-A15 device with the Nexus 10.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] victorator:
Agreed. However overall Xperia T is simply a worse phone than S3, OneX or Optimus G / N4. Same price, worse phone, better support for AOSP roms. You decide.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Lol. Right so in the USA it has the same processor as the S3 and suddenly its worse? And exonys is hardly a great processor as described above. While admittedly in terms of raw power the N4 and the Optimus are better the N4 has no expandable storage and (I'm guessing) worse camera which is the main reason for choosing the T and the Optimus is a joke overall. And the one x has the same processor as the T in the USA and Tegra 3 is inferior to Snapdragon S4 in the T.

I expect to see a price drop for the T soon.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] papped:
Can't argue with those "facts"... /s
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kitsVA:
Being a Sony fan, I have to agree with it even though I don't like the colors of AMOLED screen, Touchwiz, and cheap feel of S3. It atleast feels comfortable to hold unlike TL. SE skin is still the best but T/TL just is a very badly designed phone. The volume rocker, power button placements are terrible even for a lefty and they make the phone feel so rough and edgy to hold. If you look at the back of the phone you will feel like it's built like a lego block. Just too many separate pieces and buttons and ports projecting out. I went to AT&T store today and checked out One X and S3 and I was surprised how well One X was designed by HTC who are in severe financial troubles. I can't believe I sold that phone for a loss.

Will be selling my TL as soon as I get my hands on Nexus 4. Sony needs to go back to drawing board and not only work on being in with other competitors on specs but need to focus on simple clean designs. Just don't over design the phone with too many angles and end up with crooked feel to the phone. The USB port, 3.5mm headphone outlet also look terrible on T/TL.

If LTE is not important and if one needs to have a Sony phone, I feel TX is a better option from pictures.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
TX is way better option in picture you saw :D and the reality I see. I still think it has one of the best phone designed after Xperia arc era but update and feel being cheated always kills me. Sony is smart in selling phone with promises that is out in everyone's month but Sony didn't officially say it so they don't get in any trouble. I am tried of it despite the fact I love Sony's design but not support.

They will lose, for producing so many handset in such a small amount of time and being behind is supporting them. I would say that if there was a market they should have stolen long ago was the US market but they have done a terrible job so far.

Next week when N4 is out my beautiful TX goes on sale for twice as much price of a N4 which is sad but after three years and customers giving suggestion with love to Sony, I don't think they are listening at all. With due respect, T and TL shouldn't even exist when they wanted to do TX.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SWFlyerUK:
Was going to but this phone today, for me it's £100 cheaper than the SIII and One X, plus, I've got an Xperia Tablet S, not keen on Sense 4 or Touchwiz myself.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hkjr:
coming over from the atrix4g - first sony ever - the TL is on its way. Before I start looking around - know off hand if the TL is rootable?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Yes it is.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LastQuark:
Nice. I have company. I am coming from Atrix 4G too. I will get my TL on Black Friday for 1 cent.

Yes, it is rootable but not unlockable. This information is spread somewhere around.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
Rootable but NOT bootloader unlockable.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] shahulvm:
@Entropy, did you manage to get a Nexus 4 or still going with Xperia TL

Looking at the demand of nexus, am just thinking of settling with Xperia T....

Only thing that pulls me to Xperia T is their camera (13mp, f2.4), which I contemplate that Nexus 4 (8mp, f2.4) would match...though megapix is not the only factor to determine a good cam.

Is there much of difference interms of photo quality when taken with AOSP camera app vs the vendor provided one...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] blinkin:
Could you please elaborate a bit more on the design of TX - does the back of it feels cheap and makes noises when you "play" with it (here is one review - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...nother-pretty-sony-phone-that-isnt-very-good/)? How do you find the placement of power on button?

Cyanogenmod is now supporting T - do you know if I could use the same rom for TX?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rithina:
The plastic is so firm and tight and my s3 back over is more lose and shaky compare to my xperia TX.. Maybe reviewer bias or never close the cover properly lol
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
Placement of power button is certainly weird for one. I have practiced myself to do it right but lots of times I also push the volume locker on the other side.

Back cover is solid for me but some folks have issues with it not being too lose but making some noise, you have to squeeze it to make some noise.

Design is not like every other phone, especially when you get it in white as it will stand out. Overall is a decent phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] blinkin:
Thx a lot. And what about roms / cyanogenmod support?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
Before I moved to Nexus 4, there weren't a kernel to support CM but it could be ready now. Check developer's section. You can flash STOCK from for TX and GX(released in Japan) on this phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
There is now a kernel with CWM and multiple ROMs that can be flashed including CyanogenMod which has been marked as stable.

Hello I have lost my LG Optimus V phone. I have tried using Plan B and other apps but the problem is I keep my auto sync off so I don't think apps will download to the phone. Is there anyway to tun on my phones auto sync so I can download a tracking app like Plan B or is there any other way to track a phone with your phones sync off? I do not know if my gps is on either.

Thank you very much for the help.
[Android] TraNe15:
Hi everyone. I've just started editing some Rom's with kitchen and i'm newbie about that.

I modded everything i want in kitchen and i was about to create .zip file to flash it to my phone. But i got an error.

it was about "Zip Align" and i read the Q&A part on xda - kitchen topic. There is a answer like that;

QUESTION: I am using Ubuntu Linux on a 64-bit Windows PC, and whenever I run 'zipalign' I get an error about "No such file or directory".

ANSWER: You need to install the Ubuntu package "ia32-libs".

I tried to install ia32-libs package but i get some errors. I searched on internet and i saw that it's a bugor sth like that. And i dont know what to do.

I tried typing "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" or "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch" to terminal buti couldnt get package called ia32.

Btw, i'm using ubuntu installed with latest wubi (i think 12.10).

I need some help. Thank you.

Hello I have been searching for the Lg optimus l7 revolution rom but cant find it any were to download. Plz Help.
[LG Thrill 4G] BG64:
Well, after a TON of work, and unsuccessful attempts at getting this, I finally was able to get signal and working data on my phone. I know some people had had trouble with the process, so I'm going to post my guide here to help you all out.

There are two parts to this tutorial. Only one is needed, however, to get ICS to properly work, so find the one that fits your current predicament AND ONLY USE THAT PART OF THE TUTORIAL.

If this is your first time installing the ICS rom...

Follow the LG flashing tool guide that XBSall has linked in his ICS Rom post. You can also find it at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1244490 . However, when you install the ROM, DO NOT USE THE .FLS FILE HE PROVIDES. Instead, download the v18A baseband and install that one with the .BIN file he provides. You can find the v18A baseband here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338383 I believe. After you flash the entire thing, you should have ICS! Easy!

If you have the ICS Rom installed now, but have no signal...

This is a bit more complicated, but still very easy. After I flashed ICS, I was not able to flash things using LGFlashTool like I could in GB. This is how I ended up flashing the baseband to fix my issues.

We need to set up your phone to connect with LGFlashTool first. To do this, use XBSall's restore to GB method, located at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 . You will need the OMAP4BOOT files, but you will need nothing else.

Follow his tutorial up until step 6. When he tells you to insert the battery, insert it AS FAST as you can. I messed up on the timing the first few times. Once I saw a greyscale LG logo, and a few other times it just booted normally. Just try again if this happens. Eventually you will get the screenshot in step 9. DO NOT remove the cable when OMAP4BOOT tells you to, as well.

Follow step 10 and 11 of XBSalls restore tutorial, and then follow step 12. When you set up LGFlashTool for the reflashing, simply select the v18A baseband to flash and then start the process. If done correctly, Port 1 should state READY. Repeat steps 3-9 in his tutorial. It will start the flashing process. Once you get an error, close the program, and remove your phones battery and disconnect it from your computer.

Turn on your phone, and receive signal. PROFIT.

Hope this helps you guys out a bit, and remember to hit thanks if this helped you.
[LG Thrill 4G] sketch2k278:
you beat me to it lol I was just about to post steps just like this
[LG Thrill 4G] llsektorll:
still no signal... ill try again... atleast closer to fixing... attached is the error im getting... when i go into About and check the baseband it still has V30

EDIT: When into System Settings > About Phone > Software Information ... it is showing the following information.

Baseband Version: XMM6260

Software Version: LGSU760-V30b-OCT-18-2012
[LG Thrill 4G] kideskimo:
Can anyone help? The guide dosent show you how to install the OMAP4430 drivers, but i found out myself how to do it so whatever. Problem is, now "OMAP4430 USB Device" is dissappearing and reappearing over and over again when i boot with volume up. Can anyone shed some light as to how to fix this?

And my phone isnt bricked, i can turn it on right now and everything.

EDIT: Found the problem, you need to hold VolUp after OMAP4430 pops up. Funny, it says in the guide to let go when it pops up. Fixed my mistake though.
[LG Thrill 4G] BG64:
I have the same thing on my phone. Maybe try to reflash the v18A baseband again?
[LG Thrill 4G] idriff:
u can use V20A or V21B basebands also they work too
[LG Thrill 4G] BG64:
OH MY GOSH. NOW THAT I HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR SCREENSHOT, I NOTICED YOU HAVE THE THING THAT HAD ME STUMPED FOR HOURS.

Follow the second part of my tutorial to the T. If it still doesn't work, maybe I'll make a video or we can go on Teamviewer and I'll try to help you out.
[LG Thrill 4G] llsektorll:
I tried everything to detail and it doens't work. PM me when you are available to teamview. I will be here till 1am -6GMT (CST)

not able to keep OMAP 44xx device connected

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to get ICS installer on my rogers P925. I tried many times on two computers (both windows 7 one is 32bits other is 62bits) to flash the bin and fls files you are recommanding but it seems like even if my OMAP 4430 device driver is correctly installed via the program files texas instuments dll it seems it wont stay connected at all and just pop open and closed sometimes when it seems to want, and it makes the flashing procedure impossible to me any ideas?
[LG Thrill 4G] llsektorll:
Although mine hasn't worked in flashing properly I might be ables to get your drivers to connect properly so that LGflasher starts flashing. PM me your teamviewer ID and PW
[LG Thrill 4G] llsektorll:
XBSALL helped me out! It's finally working now! My problem was with the port. He got my phone rooted, changed USB port (I mistakenly was changing the wrong one), installed TWRP, put his ICS cleaned mod version on through TWRP zip install. It's all working now full bars of 3G!
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
help?

Finally got to flash ICS on phone but it was giving me errors everytime I wasn't using original baseband associated with .bin file. Now, I can't get it to boot in fastboot even using OMAP4boot I don't really understand when I need to insert fast the battery... OMAP4boot doesn't seem to get my phone...
[LG Thrill 4G] Bdadd34:
You will always get errors as these are not full kdz files. If you are stuck at lg logo..try pull batt replace then hold vol- and power button til you see a factory reset screen do reset and boot..that made mine boot.
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough, but my phone boots now, it's only I had to flash it with the O3D fls file and not the .fls I was supposed to use so I get a working ICS without any network.

Now that i'm trying to complete step 2 to get te right baseband, i can't get the phone to boot in download mode even using OMAP fasboot flash. the software just don't say anything appart from "waiting for phone".

So I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong :(
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
Try the resurrection guide by xbsall it finally worked for me after I did everything I was supposed to I kept missing simple steps
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
Finally download mode is quite simple to acess (discovered on my own searching for a recovery)

1- power, vol+ , 3d button pressed

2- on lg logo release power

3- after 2 seconds approx release 3d button

4- wait for the korean page indicating LG SERVICE and a phone

you should be in it!!

now i'm getting a curious RAM writing error while using this mode on lg flash tool :(
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
You need to do it this way http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32945961 and only the way read the whole first 2 pages and do everything xbsall is a genius as are the people that worked with him to come up with the guide
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
it's almost the 10th time I follow the guide step by step by step... I think or i'm always doing wrong something or it's something else with my phone... I may have misconfigured one port but i do NEVER NEVER at all in the process see OMAP4430 device in my device manager.. so the little windows tool is not doing anything... maybe if someone wanna teamviewer they can see for themselves what it gives.
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
Wahoo, ICS + network :)

finally found that there was the correct driver for my computer in the omap4boot folder and not in everyother one I was installing, flashed with the guide after i found this driver and everything works fine

only thing i'm struggling is to set apns to get 3G any tricks?
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Do a Google search for AT&T 4G APN (or whoever our carrier is). You can also create an APN with the word "phone" in the first two blanks, name and APN (I think), and it should give you access to 3G and HSPA. I hit 6.7mbps on Speed Test.

random rebooting

I used smart flash tool to flash my ics b/c I couldn't get the lg flash tool to work on windows 8 x32 to save my live. It flashed just fine, but it has random reboots very often. Like about 2 times every five minutes. I flashed the v18a and it stopped rebooting. Then I turned my phone off and inserted my sim card. It started having random reboots again. I take the sim card out and its just fine. The one time that I did get it to stop rebooting with the sim inserted, I had no radio. I restored back to AT&T official gingerbread and everything is working fine so I know my sim card is working fine. I don't know why its not working for me. Any help would be nice. I'm using an AT&T LG thrill (P925) with the official gingerbread currently installed b/c I need a working phone.

EDIT: Never mind. I figured it out. I just ran lg flash tool in compatibility mode with windows xp to flash the .fls b/c it wouldnt flash the .bin. I used smart flash tool to flash the .bin and i ran smart flash in compatibility mode also, just to be safe. It's working fine!!!
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Good to see you got it working. I was going to suggest using LG Flash Tool. It seems to be a pretty finnicky program, but it gets the job done.

[LG Thrill 4G] ewtdr:
I'm using XBS still, and with APN from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1960150 -(on AT&T) I can send MMS with Handcent MMS, but I can't receive. My Signal indicator never changes to H+, it always shows 3G, but I've gotten speeds above 4.5 Mbps (in Philly region), so I guess I'm getting HSPA+ as I don't think 3G would go that high?
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
You probably are getting H+ with those speeds, or you have a great 3G connection. As an APN, you can enter "phone" no quotes into the first two lines and leave everything else blank and it worked pretty well for me when the standard APN failed to hold up to my standards. Its a little less reliable but I got great speeds from it. As for handcent mms, I refuse to use a messaging app from the play store. They're all full of garbage. The CM9 MMS.apk works on this build just fine and that's what I was using. Still had the same problems for the most part, though. I'm currently not using my thrill as I got an S3 so if we need to test some stuff out, I'm willing to give it a go.

In the stock, .587 kernel based ROM, which files are the hardware-keyboard config files?

And second question.

Can i copy these files from the stock ROM, and paste it to another "cooked" one? My goal would be to fix the "sym" button, and the arrow keys.

you will be left with the USB JIG if all else failed, If USB JIG failed too, than its possible to use JTAG to correct the bootloader, if that failed , than it would be a hardware problem, like attached image .
