[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3st:
Hi there;

I´ve purchased a Xperia Sola, it shall be a Christmas Gift :P

Want to do some customs and install some messenger apps, so its ready out of the box.

Now i´m unsure about saving the current Android (2.3.7) it should be possible to get back to this in case of errors/dislikes with ICS (read about some error bugs with Sola and ICS).

Whats the best way on complete stock Sola to do this, or is it even necessary?

On Htc i just unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM (unofficial way).

As far as i read through some threads here, until now the only way to unlock xperias is an official way (warranty issues?)

As long as i don´t know if the gifted person feels comfortable with the phone I don´t want to do things on the firmware that can´t be undone...

So is their any way to backup the whole rom without unlocking, or is it possible to undo unlocking/rooting in case of?

Thanks in advance.

[Q] wanna put some of ultimate sola apps in pure blood v2

Hi,

I want some of ultimate sola apps in pure blood v2, can I simply copy them from app folder of ultimate sola to app folder of pure blood??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
And you leaving us to guess you have Xperia P huh?

Rooting JB is just double-click, no brainer with DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit, ICS require flashing .6.1.b.0.599 kernel (if I'm not misteken) and then the original kernal after rooting.

Best ROM questions are against forum rules, try them and choose for yourself.

I am quite happy with JB, there is a bit of lag with the phone/dialer.

PHONE Brick, i guess!

Help me with this. When I install HONAMI CONTACTS, i move services.jar into "system/framework" and change the permission then restart it. After I restart it (after the ultimate rom shows) some errors pop out like "unfortunately com.android.phone is not responding" etc. I restart it then flash it again from the beginning into ULTIMATE V11 JB and I got the same error. I flash it using ULTIMATE V4Z ICS by ASHWIN it works and load into sony xperia home but after i check i lost some of my important apps like FB, NFC, WALKMAN, MAPS, CHROME, YOUTUBE, ETC. I got panis and i format the system into CWM and nothing happens. I can use my phone but i lost some apps. Sometimes i lost my signal and need to restart to resume my signal. What should I do? Can anyone help me?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
lolll device is bricked when u cannot do anything with it, i mean doesn t start ; even kernel only thing u see its red led

flash stock ftf via flashtool....and reflash ur custom rom bro :good:

hope u made backup of everything..apps contacts... thats first thing u should make before flashing ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
PHONE Brick, i guess!

Yes! I know how to look for a brick, but I don't know what to call with this problem. LOL! But anyways, thanks bro, I'll give a feedback if it works or not. PRESS!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
so u got freezes and force closes fc's :laugh:

for sure its gonna work...stock ftf flash job is to bring back device to clean installation ;)

"PRESS" what do u mean??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
HOOOO! Success!!!

THANKS BRO! It works! I got it back! Press meaning I press the thanks button. Thanks to your quick response! I got it back. And I'm actually observing things for bugs or error! Hopefully I'm not getting one. I'm installing services.jar for the WALKMAN. My conversation font is white, so I can't read my received text. So I'm going to use GO SMS PRO for a while until I fully understand how to install HONAMI MODS. Really bro, thanks!

Just for an advance! Can you suggest a good kernel? Combinations for governors and some good tips tweaks? Or for the rules of "search before you ask", can you give me the link for this matter? Thanks again! :highfive:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
no prob loll ure welcome

i forgot to tell u; theres another thing u could do before flashing stock ftf...wiping data/factory reset from recovery...thats putting your rom back as it was before u messed it up lmao sorry

its depends of the kernel u using; each kernel has his own kernels/io schedulers

me i use hotplugX/noop

intellidemandX/noop

ondemandX/noop

Still its gonna depend of your usage!

in dev options in general settings tick force GPU rendering and put the 3 settings windows/transition/animator scales.... at 0.5x

then u didn t tell me wich device u have

and btw u didnt pressed it lollll
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sensation199290:
thanks for your reply my friend I cqn enter in recovery mode and flash another rom but the problem is 90% of roms after installibg don't boot beside that I flashed the same rons before that and it worked 100% but after flashing a lot of times this proble sppear I dobt know why now I cant flash any rom from cwm recovery and the only rom works normally is the original rom and by flashing in flashtool

from cwm recovery no rom can boot....

I hope that you understood my idea

thanks so much my brother
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
Thanks!

For the flashing ftf, I didn't wipe out, I just flash it, LOL! I think it works fine. But if i encounter some problem I will repeat the flash and do it again. I'm just observing the ROM and some testing. It's ok, you don't need to sorry.

For the kernels and governors, Ok! I get it, but what can you say about the frequencies? I can't remember if I do OC my phone(SOLA) and how can I know if I overclock my phone? I think I need to test and observe for the governors for my usage. I got the DEV thing. Thanks!

Device?? X SOLA. LOL! I forgot to mention it also.

I press it again. I hope it works. Let me know if not.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
Ok for overclock bro u need to be on bootloader unlocked...cuz overclocking is in custom kernels...so for cpu frequencies just download nofrills cpu or set cpu...with set cpu its cool u can make different profiles such as on/off screen values in order to save battery....

so if u didn t unlocked bl and flashed custom kernel its pretty impossible to oc; just by root access... its more complicated than that...lolll

then if u decide to do that...be nice with your device! then its overheating cpu and battery risks even with 150mhz added...device are made like that for a reason then if u want a faster device....change it!!! lmao

best regards
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
I've already unlocked my BL before I flash ultimate rom. So how can I OC my phone? Yes, I'm aware of the OC risk to overheat, because I OC my pc before.

Ok then, thanks bro! You really help me a lot and provide more info about this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
its way of different on pc loll pc's cpus got fan on it! not your phone! ;)

then flash a custom kernel and custom rom like cm, pac whatever and u will find in set cpu listed available frequencies that s it!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
LOL! I got it, it's much more different, I mean I know how OC works. :laugh:

One more thing bro. When I move/copy the services.jar into system/framework it restarts automatically and I can't change the permission. And I end up with my previous problem of the "unfortunately" thing. Do you know this problem?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
nope...maybe ask in rom's thread or where u took this modif thread... sorry!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
Ok bro! Thanks anyways!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
The permissions should be OK, it may have extra write permissions to group and other but that should not be a problem.

If you want to make sure the permisions are exactly as the should be you can copy the file to a temp and then rename it/ This you will need to do with terminal emulator or SSH
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
What do mean by renaming it? Rename it they change permission they bring the name "services.jar" then copy it into system/framework? Sorry, i didn't get the terminal emulator & SSH. What is that?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Both are way to use linux shell, terminal emulator on the phone, and SSH(secure shell) from PC via wifi/tcp.

For some reason Root Explorer won't rename file if one with the same name exists.

In shell the commands would be

mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar.tmp
chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar.tmp
mv /system/framework/services.jar.tmp /system/framework/services.jar

I use SSHDroid with PuTTY on the pc.

But as I said I don't think the permissions are the problem.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NR32:
Oh sorry for that. Yeah I have Xperia P. After I posted this question I searched for them so just want to confirm that:

* I can update my update my phone straight to OFW JB without un-rooting my phone? Since it'll automatically remove the root access? I am right?

* I see. As I searched too, mostly said that GB is good for games? But personally for you, what's the best for you in terms of battery life? Or your personal review between ICS or JB? Sorry again for asking.

Thanks by the way. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
It's ok now. I just rename it first before I moved it into system/framework. Thanks to your help!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Yes, no need to unroot before upgrading.

To be honest I forgot how ICS was. I did downgrade to ICS once but upgraded back to JB as I didn't see much difference and I like the JB interface more.

I also wanted to downgrade to GB but couldn't find FW for my phone so I have no idea how GB is, mine came with ICS.

After debloating and few add-ons and tweaks I get about 1% drain per hour with no screen on time,data and bluetooth off and wifi on.

I've seen others with custom kernels and ROM that get 3-5 days without charging.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

And you rename it again after moving it to and setting permissions to services.jar?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NR32:
Thanks for that! :) By the way what is debloating? And what ROM are you using? So tomorrow I'll upgrade it to JB then root it then install a Custom ROM. Thank you! I needed that since my Mobile Data is always on.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Debloating, removing bloatware, software that comes with the phone and I don't need.

I only have Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, and viber running in background, and contacts/calendar sync with facebook.

I don't use mobile data but when I tried it it consumed a lot of battery. The way around it is STAMINA mode which will disable moobile data when screen is off.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
Oh, sorry! I forgot to mention it. Yes, i rename it again into services.jar. After I rename, it restart automatically. Then, BOOM! My walkman works! Thanks to your help, i got the idea to move it properly. LOL!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
We both learned something new today then :) I didn't think it was permissions.

It still maybe something different but at least we know the way around it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
Yes we both did. Thanks to us. LOL!:highfive:

Hi..Will the XNovathor Project 4.1.2 V2(AOSP) released for xperia sola which has network location bug fixed?? The V1 is an awesome rom with very few bugs like the network location and wifi sleep issue. Greatly looking forward to V2 it :). It has been released for Xperia P and U..so was wondering about sola.

sorry guys I know there maybe is same question as mine but I still need to ask:

1./ I have Xperia GO, Jellybean, build number 6.2.A.1.100

2./ It has root and unlock bootloader

3./ I cannot figure out how to install recovery on my Xperia GO.

Can anybody please tell my how to install an stable recovery on my Xperia GO. I'm a very good intruction-step-by-step-follower. So please help me or list out what things I need to do. I cannot wait to install custom Rom on her.

Thank you for your reading !

[MENTION=5415365]xtommy[/MENTION]

So here ur problem! U have to enter them manually or there is in all cyanogen an xml file with thousands of apns inside

But first things first...have u made a backup before flashing?

Hope u did :D

If u made it with titanium the restore is called phone+sms/mms storage (sms/mms/apn) its green lighted

Then if u did with another backup tool restore phone settings look for this restore

If u didn t do a backup...try to find someone with same operator as u and ask him his apn details and then u have to enter it manually save and restart

If its not working its because u did a mistake it have to be exactly the same no matter device brand/model

As i said, u maybe could find it in cm files, but its aosp i didn t check when i flashed it, now im not on xnovathor so i can t check

But if the file is there u will find it in /device/etc/apn s config.xml

Each time u gonna flash a custom rom wich is not based on stock rom like this one...aosp aokp cm miui...none of them have the xperia menu called "download internet settings"

And finally u can call provider and ask them to send push sms with internet settings and it must be allowed in sms settings if not u won t receive it

Now u must come back and say it worked lolllll all solutions are here

I have an Xperia U and upgraded yesterday to

But here is my problem:

I have no mobile data whatsoever. Neither 3G or 2G.

I also cannot enter any APNs manually. He reminds me to fill out all required infos, but then the "save" doesn't do anything.

Searching also doesn't turn up with anything related.

Is that a known problem?

LOL Ok... :) I will try that!

I just flashed over the latest stock I could find:

Activating 3G instantly triggers the download of my provider's APN infos via SMS and works fine.

Baseband version is the same (that's why I flashed it).

So let's head back to CM and see if the Airplane helps...

keyboard

Hi there,

I have really, REALLY anoying problem...

After I got xperia Sola white I updated it to ICS, then it became very slow and sometimes completly unusable. That's how I got here, on xda. I unlocked bootloader, flash some mods, roms etc.

Now I flashed stock ics .54, then ultimate rom v6, then v11 by the instruction in the thread.

ROM is great, everything is great but the keyboard. Sometimes it starts to disappear and u must wait for few seconds to appear again. I read about it, but no solution so far helped me.

Tried to set OOM to -17

Tried to lock keyboard proces in memory.

What could be the problem? Why it works almost to everyone but me. I really don't know what I do wrong :(

edit: also tried many kernels, now I'm using Phantom kernel

btw. it seems like, the keyboard is crashing because, when disappearing happens, it has oom 2 :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
did u try to clear data from the app?

And did u make the wipes?

and between custom rom; i don t know if its that but me between each flash i put a stock ftf in order to get a clean install....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
I've a general question. When I install a new ROM can I take any advantage in formatting /system, /cache and /data? ROM guides say always "Flash stock. 54 before" but this is a method for time saving? And if a ROM guide says "Flash stock. 54 before" it's recommended formatting partition between the. 54 and the new ROM?

Thanks

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
No, only do what ROM creator tell you to do.

If they say flash stock ver X before and you already have that version than you can just do factory data reset.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NR32:
Hi. I already upgraded my XP from ICS to JB and rooted it as well. Installed CWM Recovery, Backup Nand and TA and unlocked the bootloader. Also I installed a Nemesis 5.3 Kernel. Just want to ask what could be the "best" rom for everyday use? Esp. for social network with Mobile Data is always on all day.

And in saving battery life, what are the settings you turned off to save more battery? Or you just leave as default and rely on ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Mobile Data drains battery by 4 or 5 times it drains without it, unless you use STAMINA mode.

Stock is pretty good by itself, I get about 1% per hour standby with wifi on, after debloating and disabling services/apps I don't need
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NR32:
Thanks for that! Actually the reason why I upgraded my phone and finally decided to customized it is because my past firmware even it was rooted, it drains really fast overnight even if Wifi/Mobile Data is off, it drains like 15% overnight. Is that normal? I think it's not. So hopefully this customizing will help my Xperia P to saves a lot of battery life.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
I think stock drains like 2% per hour standby. you can try installing S98screenstate_scaling to save more battery, and as I said disable services/apps you don't need to get about half of that.

With STAMINA mode Mobile Data is only available when screen is on, and most applications are also suspended whe it's of.

If you are also using wifi you can exclude apps you want to run at STAMINA mode, e,g, I have yahoo messenger, face book and viber always running, s oI still get messages via wifi when screen is off.

You can try custom ROMs but I doubt you will get better results than this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NR32:
I see but still installed a Custom ROM. lol Anyway, thanks for that. :)

Just want to ask, what's the fastest way to install a new ROM? What I did a while ago is to restore my CWM backup before I unlocked the bootloader and before I installed a Custom Kernel (Nemesis 5.3). And is it normal that the bootloader is already unlocked? I saw also the "wipe data-cache-syste-preload" option in CWM Recovery, is this option good enough to install a new ROM? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
I have no idea, I've never did CWM backup or restore, I just flash my stock then either root and install CWM or flash custom kernel.

Custom ROMs are pretty good but there always some hussle and I end up installing some stock apps I am more used to so I decided I'll stick with stock which is not all that bad at all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JOANYMARIO:
Hey my friend! I've find it!

You have to go to the setting inside the bluetooth profile that has been created and check the 2 boxes (phone audio+Multimedia audio), depending on what is activated, only works phone or audio (at least in my car)

I hope it helps you, also thanks to the others that tried to help us.
