Reflash gapps everytime i get a system Update?

I have a question for cynomodgens autosystem update, is it check for updates(weekly) -> Flash now -> reboot -> re-flash GAPPS -> reboot -> done

Do i need to reflash gapps everytime i get a system Update?

Does reflashing gapps mean i will loose all my installed apps?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Trandaa:
No, you needn't to reflash GApps. The GApps are only apps from Google (Play store and so on). You won't loose anything when you reflash GApps.

Did you even try the support Zone.

Try FlashTool.

Use Linux Environment if possible as it do not require Drivers.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Darayus:
Sony Xperia GO totally dead

Yes - I tried the Flashtool also in Windows (I don't have Linux) -

It prepared the ftf file and said "press the Back key and plug in USB" - but that doesn't work either.

The LED does not light up at all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sociobeat:
First tell me where did you used to update your phone via PC Companion:

Update button on the top.

or the support zone.

If you choose the first one, go to the support zone then click on "Phone/Tablet Update Software".You will see underlined text that says "repair my Phone/Tablet". Click on it and then continue as per required.

If you have already tried this method, then move to flashtool.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deshx:
Can be a hardware problem too.

As you say that you have not unlocked the bootloader, this type of problem is unlikely to happen.

Still.. Try different computers and install all drivers in the driver pack, installation can take some time.

And try to get the device responding to hard or soft reset.

Try charging it or something...

Without your device responding, it's tough to recover it using flashmode.

None of the things worked - I finally took it to the SONY Service Centre.

[Q] [Kitkat] Sony Walkman with working edit/download Music info for 4.4..4

I have a Sony Xperia U with an unlocked bootloader and i have flashed a custom 4.4.4 Kitkat Kumquat ROM. But I love the generic Walkman app by Sony. Although there are APKs all over the net saying everything works, I haven't found that really does work. I need the walkman app, it can be any version, but atleast the Download and edit music info should work in it, even if the FB likes And SenseMe and all that stuff doesn't work. Atleast i'll be able to edit the info or change the album arts of the songs off the net.

p.s.

This is my first post here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalithesh:
I highly doubt you will be able to run the Sony walkman app on CM rom, I had tried it too, by backing up the sony app using Titanium Backup, but i would get fc's.. Although its totally up to individual tastes, i feel the stock sony walkman app has its shortcomings, for ex, it doesnt allow folder wise play, etc.. If just editing the song info is your main concern, there are n number of apps on the market which provide that feature, and many more.. PowerAmp is one great app, but it is a paid one.. :(

Install BetterBatteryStats or some other battery monitoring app and check for any partial wakelocks, If anything is causing too much wakelock, google about it, and stop that process., Your battery performance will improve.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deshx:
well i prefer Walkman too, and newer versions have folder play too, so i think no app can beat Walkman easily.

i haven't tested it, but i have heard it works on CM too.

take a look here :

media apps

search for other ports too in themes, im sure you can find the right one.

good luck !:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalithesh:
Walkman has got folders now?? That's sm gr8 news brother, thanks for that, will download right away, thank you... :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deshx:
no problem...

but do check for the version of walkman app.

I have 8.4.A.3.1 and it has folder play support, i remember previous version then this also has folder play but not the older ones.

only 2 of the latest walkman updates ported to stock JB 4.1+ ROMS have folder play.

you ave to search for it. i dont remember my link or i would have posted it here.

Most probably your battery is damaged. You should change it. Though Xperia P has a fixed battery, but it's changeable :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deshx:
from the thread of Walkman, the version you are trying to install is for JB 4.2+ ROMS.

and the ROM you are using is probably based on 4.1.2 stock. This is why that error generally comes up.

Try version 8.4.A.3.1, it works superb ! and it is ported for 4.1.2.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kmsharif:
I know

Walkman 8.4.A.3.1 is already installed on my phone. But it has no folder play option. That's why I'm trying to install new version.

Anyway, Thanks for your reply :)

telephone calendar orphaned

Hi all,

I updated some apps from google store some days ago, as I had not been on WiFi for some time it were about 20 Apps that requested updating, one of the was google calendar, but I do not know if it is the culprit. After the updates were finished, my Pure Calendar Widget cannot connect to the telephone calendar any more, in the calendar menu it is listed as

Telefonkalender Google/ SYNCML-ORPHANED.

I restored a nandroid backup from a time when everything had worked but it did not help.

any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theotterock:
Hi I'm trying to flash a custom ROM on my Xperia Sola for the first time.

Bootloader is unlocked, I've chosen this rom and I'm trying to follow the instructions but I'm stuck.

There were two sets of instructions and I got confused. I followed this post by mistake. It says:

I did extract boot.img and via fastboot, I booted it in the phone. Now the phone start with a "xperia STE" loading screen and goes on to a blank screen.

When I press power and volume up I can use fastboot again, but not adb. But what is the difference between fastboot and recovery? How do I go to recovery from fastboot? And how do I wipe from recovery, I thought you could wipe on fastboot only? Or are they not exclusive?

Sorry, I'm noob...

Edit: better description of how far I am and what happens now:

I unlocked the bootloader on my phone, then I extracted the boot.img from the ROM zip and loaded it in the phone using fastboot. I then put the rom.zip on the external SD card. Now when I boot the phone an xperia STE flash screen shows up, then nothing. I can only power off with hard reset buttons. I can still boot into fastboot when holding volume up, but I have no idea how to go into recovery like the instructions say. I did not install a recovery, by the way, did I need to? Instructions unclear :-/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
[MENTION=6207390]theotterock[/MENTION]

Recovery is software running on the phone itself

Disconnect the phone from the PC, restart it, and spam the power button(if not than the volume up button) every second or so untill CWM recovery shows up.

Continue as instructed.

CWM and Battery problems

Hello, newbie here.

I want to install a new ROM on my stock ICS Sola, which is rooted, bootloader unlocked, and CWM touch installed. I want to make a nandroid backup using CWM before doing anything, but CWM is not reading my external SD card, and I don't have enough memory available in the internal storage which CWM is reading. So is there any way that I can solve this?

Another thing, my sola's battery drains out extremely fast. After full charging, it will drop to about 60% in 1 hour, then keep dropping steadily until it reaches 1% in about 30 mins, stay there for some time and then switch off. Odd thing about this is when I plug in the charger when switches off, the power off battery charging animation shows level to near about 50%, and on switching the phone on, the battery will show around the same. So I'm assuming my battery is alright and it is the ROM which is at fault. Any possible solutions to this apart from changing ROMs?

Thanks.

Xperia Go will not boot after installing CWM recovery

and selecting to boot into recovery

I installed the CWM recovery from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39051692&postcount=1

then I selectes boot int recovery from the ROM manger and now my Go will only boot into flashmode or fastboot mode.

I tried flashing the loader of the stock kernel ST27i_6.1.1.B.1.54_Kernel.ftf and even flashed the kernel itself, but it still only shows the sSONY logo on turning on and then the ascreen goes blank.

I have tried starting with various combinations of power on and Volume up/down pressed, but nothing and pressing volume up/down once it vibrates.

I think it is trying to boot into recovery but cannot find a working init script.

When I selected this option before instlling CWM it just startetd the phone into normal action.

Anyone with advice out there?

Theme AOSX?

I've tried just about every rom and kernel on this site for my Xgo, and I've found AOSX 4.4.4 to be the best overall. Problem is, there's no settings option for themes. I really like the Android L theme from this thread, (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/themes-apps/android-l-launcher-font-wallpaper-apps-t2798153), so I've been messing around with trying to get it to take on my AOSX rom. I've tried Apktool, and HKthemer, trying to modify the Theme.apk and the phone's framework-res.apk, but always come up with errors about not finding source for files. The biggest part of the problem is that I don't know what I'm doing, but I've hit it lucky taking chances enough times before that I'm willing to keep trying. Any Ideas?

(I know that I could easily install a different launcher with a similar theme, but for one, I don't like additional launchers, and for two, I just want to figure it out)

Thanks

Humanitarian effort

Begging your mercy, my lieges. ;^)

Not a developer, and having only made minor forays into Galaxy Tab (OGT and GT3 7.0) rooting and ROMs, I find myself burning a lot of time trying to solve my challenge.

I am trying to support temperature monitoring with SMS alerts of super cold (dry ice level) Ebola vaccines in a passive cooling device to immunize health workers in Africa and just having a heck of a time getting where I need to be on power management. So far, I have waded a bit into the Android Studio, used ADB for some investigation, rooted the device and uninstalled/disabled several Google apps.

I am using Valarm on ICS in conjunction with a Yoctopuce Thermocouple sensor, but trying to use an external battery to deliver 7 day life. I have achieved good life from the Xperia U (Valarm's go-to device) using Deep Sleep Battery Saver, but only get about 24 hours from the phone battery, as the sensor draws about 30mA and must stay alive. Even a large battery for the phone only will get me about 2 days. The problem is when I have an external battery connected via Y-cable, deep sleep doesn't seem to work correctly. I see a lot of Android OS "Keep Awake" in Battery Monitor. Not having the skills to efficiently chase down the culprits, I was hoping a new ROM might get me there more quickly.

The ask: what ICS-based ROM is the most aggressive for power management and has the least unnecessary apps/features while still allowing OTG and 2G/3G capabilities (SMS and data transfer) and obviously the ability to run Valarm, at least in theory? I have been digging through the forums, and I see things like Ultralite, except they are CM11, etc. I downloaded the FXP Kumquat ROM, but it doesn't look like it has a focus on power.

Thanks for your help,

Dan

Xperia Go simlock

Hello dear reader!

This is deeper into the android than I´d thought I´d have to go, so I hope my questions aren´t silly or already answered and I didn´t find them. Here goes:

I have an Xperia go simlocked to T-Mobile Austria. The contract has run out and they would be so nice and unlock it - for the fee of 50€. Somehow I disagree with them because I was in a 24month contract and now that it´s run out, I think the phone should be mine to use freely. They disagree. Now I´ve looked up and down the net, found out that with the IMEI, provider and model the network unlock code can be calculated. I couldn´t find the software to do this, just many dubious offers to provide the code - for a fee (and quite a few virus traps). Now I´m no developer, but have been a user since windows 3.1 and sofar I managed to solve all such issues. This time I´m stuck, don´t want to put 50€ into a two year old phone, considered a first attempt at rooting the thing, but apparently that still doesn´t get rid of the simlock. Is there really no way to use this phone outside of T-mobileworld? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!

Kindly,

Jay
