Cant you enter cwm?

I said no risks because if anything goes wrong (even if it shouldnt go wrong) you can still go into flashmode/fastboot and flash a stock rom or new kernel

If you want more elaborated anwsers you can use the xda search and look for a complete guide instead of asking in the q&a

If you can enter cwm then theres nothing wrong, yoy dont expect to boot in a rom when theres no rom installed Right?

What is use of the different governor and I/O scheduler.??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] iced2009:
When I try to put my Xperia U on fastboot or flashmode the notification led on top turns red... and the fastboot/flashmode wont work.

my xu is bricked?

it turns on normally, the problem is only in fastboot/flashmode.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Aniruddha10:
Your phone is not bricked.

Just make sure you are pressing the right buttons and all the drivers are installed.

This thread has all the details.

Just use the search option.

There are many threads that explain what they are and the different possible governors and schedulers.

Here's one that has a good explanation. ;)

I think it's possible using the auto memory manager.

Try it out and see.

Adding to supporters list doesn't means that you have helped a lot till now but you are willing to help people. And beware one you are on that list people will mention you.

I would like all the RCs of the device forum to atleast have their name there. Also active participation of senior members and other members are equally important. :)

CM 11 Weekly-4 on Xperia P

Hello!

I don't know exactly if this is a problem with this ROM or it's something specific to Kit Kat version of Android

After installing CM 11 Weekly-3 (and Weekly-4 afterwards) it seems that for some music applications that use internet(whether is mobile data or wi-fi) - strange things happen.

For example, in 8tracks I press play and if I go Home the music should continue playing but it says that internet connection is not anymore available. In Google Music, the phone crashes, I have to do a hard reset to reboot it.

I have to say that besides this, everything goes well, maybe there is a need to see the activity (if there is any) on the wi-fi and data connection icons in the notification bar like in the jelly bean stock ROM.

Also, my runtime is ART but I have also tried with Dalvik all of these things and still don't work.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kzeran:
Try a factory reset if you already didn't try.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] STORMBAY:
Is there any chance to port CM roms option BLACK LIST to sony stock roms? Today i need this and realize that SXP jb rom do not have this option!!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] speedyxvn:
I tried. Actually, every time I install a ROM, it's also with data deletion so I don't thing that is the case. When I am in the house with wi-fi on and also data on. I go out, wi-fi off and there is no internet (although mobile data is on), I have to switch the data on-off a couple of times for it to work. I was thinking that it's some strange setting for battery saving.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abhinav1997:
Could have been due to deep sleep. As such I didn't had any of these problems. Is there any app installed that u think could've cause this?

AJ
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] speedyxvn:
I don't use battery saving apps and KitKat or CM11 also does not have Stamina mode, in case that can create problems. It's strange because I haven't seen this problem before at other people or on the forum. You tried installing a music streaming app and see if while you do something else on the phone, the music still plays?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Twski:
Its a ram management problem and yea, theres other people with this problem. Multitasking in cm11 is currently bad so if you preffer multitasking over the newest android you should try other rom :l

Theres also slimkat and aosp roms of kitkat, that are suposed to r lighter than cm11. But I haven't tested one yet
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] speedyxvn:
O.K. Too bad. I don't have the time now to try other ROMs. I went back to stock 4.1.2 and Phantom kernel. Works pretty well but the Kit Kat stuff was nice. Some other time maybe or other phone. Thanks!

Just a curious question sir/s Does changing roms frequently Degrade our hardware? Like shifting roms every week or month. Does it slow down our devices?

Can i flash boot.img from zip and fastboot flash using flashtool?

i want to install a custom rom whose first instruction is

Extract boot.img from zip and fastboot flash

is it possible to use flashtool to do this? if yes how can i do it??:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pjohn23:
Yes you can bro. Just click the flash icon there. and choose fastboot mode. then click select kernel to flash. and choose that boot.img. but first you have to connect your phone on fastboot mode.

Mujeni's website?

Aye guys, need some help. Anybody knows what happened to Mujeni's website? All I can see is 'It's working!'. I just need to get a Build 9 of his CM11 for my Xperia GO codename Lotus (LOL). Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Twski:
Nope. When flashing a rom you are basically replacing some files, leaving nothing behind to slow down or something
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Uaj1512:
Is there a way to share apk files via Bluetooth..??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Twski:
Yea if you have the apk use a explorer like es or root explorer, long press the apk file and select share.

If you want to get a apk of a installed app you can use a backup app or go to /data/app in a explorer with root support and there you'll find it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] speedyxvn:
There is a slight usage on certain circuits there. Today's hardware is designed pretty good so that it will tolerate a big number of installs/usage until some transistors/paths are destroyed from the processor for example. I remember from my Systems on Silicon course that each core of the processor has many additional test and control circuits to make the overall processor reliable so in case some transistors don't work anymore you will still have the task done but at the expense of the speed depending on the task itself. It will just choose other transistors to do the job.

The idea is that whether you install or use a ROM, the circuits still degrade in time and this goes later on to the problem when something does not work anymore :cyclops: or does not work like in the beginning.

You should worry only for situations when you can brick your phone in a way that it will not work anymore. Also, it's important to read enough about a ROM/kernel before you use it, that is, the drawbacks, the good points, the bugs and comments that are already made about it so that you will know what you are dealing with.

:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Uaj1512:
I tried your method but unfortunately its not working I tried sending apk file using es explorer
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Twski:
Maybe its the receptor phone. I remember that u tried to send a apk to a samsung galaxy y and it kept getting error, while the same apk to a lg optimus l3 it gone normally. Also i did it anlot of times from my old x10 mini pro to my xu.

Edit: did a quick research, and yea - some oems/roms blocks the apk sharing. A workaround would be changing the extension (.apk) to something acceptable, like .jpg for example. Then changing it back to apk after receiving.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
In what way exactly does writing to the system partition or boot or any other is different than writing to data partition which is done all the time?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] speedyxvn:
Well, there isn't any specific way, as long as you write what needs and can (safely) be written in each partition/place/memory on the device.

In my opinion, bricking, today, means a different thing than only "destroying" your device or a critical part of it. It's based on the knowledge that you have about it beforehand. Bricking = the device does not do anything useful, meaning that I don't know what I can do more with its latest behavior.

It depends on the company, vendor etc. Sony, Samsung, HTC, and the other big companies use pretty good, known and tested hardware so you really know what are most of the problems that can appear. The bad wolf comes when you have a strange phone-clone/tablet bought from some unknown shop like I do.

I have an Android 2.3 10 inch tablet whose hardware platform I don't know and for which don't really want to open the back-case to see. Well, this little tablet does not boot anymore and there isn't any combination of keys that can make it go into a recovery mode, flash mode, fastboot mode or something like that.

It's clearly "bricked" for me as I don't want to start calling strange numbers from outer space and ask what sort of sorcery I need to do to make it work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pjohn23:
So it means. bricking is the only thing to worry. but i think brick happens when you. flash kernels not for your device. :D Thanks to all who answered me. I asked the question bcoz When im on ICS of my phone its super slow.but when i upgraded it to JB. it became fast. but takes too much time to boot. so i thought that it is becoming slower.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Arpit_Gupta:
Dont worry. My phone has been through worse and I've managed to unbrick it. First of all press Vol+ and power button simultaneously till you get three vibrations. This will switch off your phone completely. Then while pressing volume up button, connect the USB cable. Flashtool should recognise the phone in flashmode. Then flash the whole stock rom again. Tada! you just unbricked your phone!

Press thanks if I helped!

Hello. I have an Xperia U and I have couple of questions regarding CM11 rom found here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/u-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-nightlies-t2528466.

Can I use this fastboot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527159 instead of flashtool for flashing CM11 kernel? Or Is flashtool recommended?

Also, can I flash micro gapps from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 instead of the full package for CM11? Or Is full package recommended?

Rom - LT22i_XPERIA Z1_6.2.A.1.100 - issues with calendar and its widget

As I don't have the possibility to post in the rom section, I will ask for help here (really sorry, I sent also a PM to lehoaitam, the owner of the rom, as I didn't read all rules... yes I'm guilty!!!)

btw,I have installed this nice rom on my wife's XperiaP a couple of days ago (didn't want to move too far from stock rom and didn't want to unlock it)

All is working fine and really no lags (good battery!!)... by the way, I am facing a problem with the calendar and the widget: as soon as a new event is entered, the description of the event is shifted to the left and overwritten by date and time (I will try to post shots as soon as I am able to get the phone).

The rom has been installed through CWM over the 6.2.A.1.100 world generic (flashed using flashtool) and it kept all settings from original stock fw. (e.g. italian, all apps, wallpapers... etc)

I did follow all the steps in the op, and read carefully also the other threads (how to use flashtool, how to root, etc...) as I didn't want to do mistakes... I am used to work with my GTab2 p3110 and GNexus (all reflahed/rooted/etc since I bought them a couple of years ago) and I don't know too much Xperia phones.

I'm using italian settings and I didn't reset to factory settings (it was not mentioned in the op), I just followed the first 6 steps in op and, of course, I enjoyed as in step 7

do someone have any hint?

thanks a lot!

XPERIA GO Battery Suddenly LOSS

Hello everyone,

i've never root my xperia go, so i got a bit confused about rooted solution for my battery.

Situation:

My xperia recently starts annoy me, the power suddenly dropped from a terrific level (18% worst) to 0%. This is very annoying because it makes me to be wary if the level is under 20%. Then battery drain about 1% in 1 minute.

Might be the calendar was not tested thoroughly.

You can try to replace calendar with stock or the one from this thread.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] birobiro:
Thanks for the fast reply. Can You please tell me how to extract/get the stock app?

Then, if I want to install the dark themed calendar, in the thread is suggested to:

1 Move to system app

2 Change permission to rw--r--r--

3 Reboot and enjoy!!

Really so simple?

I am just worried that, as stated here, maybe these settings are creating conflicts... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50166777&postcount=3

Well, I'll try to do the update (already downloaded the dark theme apk) but I'll wait anyway for feedbacks about stock apk
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
To expract system apk first extract system .sin from the FTF file with 7-Zip or other archiving software.

With flashtool choose Sin Editor from toos and extract data.

Now you need ext4_unpacker which you can extract data from system.ext4.

Yes it is that simple, for apps in /system/app, for framework i would advise different method.

I don't think it's related to settings, looks more like layout issue.

CWM Recovery Questions

I have just installed CWM Recovery on my Xperia Sola using http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/sola-development/kernel-t2075093 kernel for unlocked bootloaders.

I am trying to follow the instruction but as a noob - I don't understand what the developer of this kernel meant by:

"boot in recovery and clear dalvik and cache".

I have managed to boot into the recovery but there a few different options for wiping:

"wipe data/factory reset"

"wipe cache partition"

And under the advanced section i also have these options:

"wipe dalvik Cache" and "Wipe battery stats".

My question is which ones did the author meant to be used and in what order?

Thanks in advance

Which ROM to choose

I need to upgrade my Xperia U.

As far as I've ssen there are two verions available:

10.2

and 11 nightly.

Which one shall I choose?

10.2. says WIfi direct doesn't work (which I don't use),

Bluetooth only partially (which I do use!)

Thanks in advance,

10.2 vs 11 for Xperia U

There is no need for me to save any data. Therefore, this would'nt be an issue.

My question aimed more towards stability and working (or not working) features.

Thus, if 11 nightly runs fine and everything is working: I'll go for that.

Or ist 10.2 more mature (on Xperia U)?

What does bluetooth partially not working mean? Headset working?
