[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzNTypeR:
Hi, I just ordered a SIM, and no I forgot about the £5 free top up lool.

Anyway, with the new £10 GoodyBag which now includes 1GB internet + Tethering.

I was wondering whether the Stock tethering app/system in Settings would do the trick, or would I need to download a 3rd Party app?

Thanks! :p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel_Nabs:
Yes the system app does the job fine - I tethered when we weren't suppose to :D . It's not too late to take advantage of the offer , there's a link in my sig ;).

EDIT: ANSWERED. See Reply #2.

I can't take this anymore. I've hated it since the day I upgraded to 4.0, but I can't take it anymore.

Google decided that nobody wants to view all buddies and sort by availability at the same time. Apparently, they've never met anyone with a huge buddy list.

How do I make the ICS Talk app sort ALL buddies by availability, not just my most frequently contacted ones? And if I can't, is the 4.1 or 4.2 version capable? If not, will replacing it with the GB Talk.apk do any harm?

Thanks, guys. Google royally screwed up on this one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I don't know how to make it sort the buddy list the way you want, but you can try reinstalling the gingerbread version (Just make sure you make a nandroid backup first so you can easily fix things if anything goes wrong).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiveusLuna:
Ohh, thank you, God. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to rooting the Droid 4. I figured it out.

To make Talk.apk sort *everyone* by availability, not just the most popular contacts:

Open Settings -> Apps -> All -> Talk and hit "Force Stop"

Open a root terminal on your device.

cd /data/data/com.google.android.talk/shared_prefs/

edit BuddyListCombo.xml in your preferred root-capable text editor. I used the busybox "vi", but if others exist, feel free to use them.

change the value for "gtalk-view-mode" to 1

change the value for "gtalk-sort-mode" to 0

save file and exit

You should now be able to bring up Talk.apk and see all contacts sorted by availability.

WARNING:

DO NOT

bring up the "View Options" settings within the app after doing this. Because you can't sort this way from the GUI, anything you do will overwrite the file with one of the three options available in that GUI. You'll have to do this all over again.

Edit: Typo correction

Edit 2: make instructions more generic
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bloomeyer:
After countless hours of trying to root it, I sort of finally did it right using this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYDBoTtdvcE . After which of course it wasn't done correctly because I didn't have "Mount as R/W" available to copy market etc etc. Then because I'm a total twat I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1638452 that to "UNROOT" it so I can try again. After I used adb shell su -c 'idme bootmode 5001' and rebooted, the device was bricked. It turned off and I assume it's a bootloop. The computer recognizes, then miliseconds after disconnects.

When I try to power it on, it goes through the Kindle Fire menu, then it goes to that orange "fastboot" thing where it dies, just after it produces a random vertical line on the screen.

Anything I can do?

EDIT: And nope I do not have TWRP installed.

Unlocking merely allows you to use different sims/providers. Your phone still calls out to AT&T to get updates if you're on an AT&T ROM.

Yes, stock rom on in international phone. On a serious note, no.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slicetwo:
ok. i see. i was just curious. i guess the only other option would be a ROM. I really love the touchwiz camera options, which is why I wanted to stick with the officials, but I'll consider other stuff I guess.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thacounty:
You can use leaks that have been ported and that will be touchwizzed up GS3, but I am always hesitant to flash ported roms. I would go CM10 or Task AOKP if it was me. Well it is me and that is what I switch between. If you want touchwiz though they just released TMo update to JB today so that will find it's way over here I'm sure (if it isn't already here).\

EDIT: DO NOT flash a rom that isn't made for the phone or ported over.

There is a large group flashing the Nightlies and I wanted to share with everyone that CM has decided their most recent build is good enough to be deemed STABLE.

Enjoy!!!! I suppose you can note issues here, but you'd probably get a better response if you join in the CM10 Nightly thread.

Along with the STABLE moniker comes the Bug Reports too: http://goo.gl/zO2i0

How does one go the most bug free way from CM9 stable into CM10 stable?
[LG Nitro HD] -ReaL-:
Stable does not mean stable build. It is the same as usual "Nightly". CyanogeMod wants to finish building Android 4.1.2 and move to 4.2 (CyanogenMod 10.1)
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Factory reset/wipe data before flashing. That's it.
[LG Nitro HD] latinohot:
so stable meaning they worked out the volume issue?

or stable enough to be a dayli driver?
[LG Nitro HD] ahdoublexl:
It definitely seems more stable to me so far... But I am just on day one.. So will report if anything goes haywire.
[LG Nitro HD] latinohot:
yeah, i downloaded it as well and am 'bout to flash it to my wife's phone, hopefully it'll be stable enough or better than CM9

Edit... so far so good, just gonna let it settle 'cause after setting up all the apps it drained the battery from 70% to 30% in less than 45 minutes
[LG Nitro HD] comhack:
Will we ever get an overclocked kernel for CM10 (JellyBean)?

Of course, I will not be using this phone when they finally get some Nexus 4s in stock ;)
[LG Nitro HD] latinohot:
am I blind or is it just me, but I don't see a camera anywhere.

Well after looking at the rom on my compy I don't see that camera apk has been added, bummer
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
@latinohot,

You should definitely have a Camera app.
[LG Nitro HD] latinohot:

unless is hiding inside the gallery apk itself, which I didn't check, ran out of time but will check when I get home later tonight

[LG Nitro HD] Hutch89:
I'm getting absolutely horrendous battery life with this release. I flashed yesterday using cm updater, and also tried after a complete wipe of everything and fresh install. Also tried with/without lightning zap. No improvement no matter what I do. I can literally watch the percentage drop 1-2 per minute it seems with screen on. Leaving the device idle isn't much better, maybe 4 hours tops with hardly any use....any one else experiencing this? Other than that it seems pretty solid btw
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Me too my battery dropped 30% in three hours and that was not using my phone at all. I checked for wake locks and thought it might be android system but it only had it at 10 min. So I went back to v20c where I consistently only loose 1 - 2 % per hour in idle.
[LG Nitro HD] latinohot:
that's why for now I'll stick with CM9 from HO NO
[LG Nitro HD] lionman229:
Found a bug that is very easily reconstructed. Simply press the record button for video (in my case 1080p). Phone crashes or sometimes freezes up. I can reboot using the power button.

Also battery life (at least so far) is very very poor but im going to let it settle for a few days and see how it is, km coming from cm9 for reference.

Other than that, it is a very solid Rom. Thank you rc for all your hard work. I'm going to attempt to log cat the crash.
[LG Nitro HD] el_venga:
my battery life is just like previous 11/05 and 11/10. i have not yet installed lighting zap.
[LG Nitro HD] dorkage:
On my Telus P935 I got much better battery life than before, but that might have been because it's a new battery and isn't really broken in. I used it SMSing a few times a hour and occasionally googling last night on my 10 hour shift and after it being on for 11 hours it still have nearly 40% left. Way better than my Nexus S used to do. I did install Lightning Zap.

P935 on Bell with Telus V20e baseband.
[LG Nitro HD] rush_ad:
I am also getting really poor battery life.

Yesterday I went out for dinner with 100% charge and came back with 73% left. Just over two hours.

Also, found a bug. The Messaging (SMS) app won't allow me to set the dark theme. Anyone else confirm?

Chrome isn't installed in CM10. I thought Chrome replaced the Stock Browser in Android 4.1 What's going on?
[LG Nitro HD] SeriousGeorge:
It's been stable for me so far, but I'm having terrible battery life too. At least 10% or more an hour just idle.
[LG Nitro HD] dorkage:
Good battery life again for me so far, 93% at 2.5 hours in.
[LG Nitro HD] maximepull:
Battery life

I don't know what I can do to help this but I can do 6-7 hours with a full charge since I installed CM10. And I just leave it in the car while I'm at work, I'm not even using it!

Other than that, its great so far!

Any ideas on what could cause this though?

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Yep, same pb here... I don't know what to do... might go back to aokp... :(
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
You may have already done so, but I calibrate the battery a couple times and run a ROM a few days before judging the battery life. I also keep sync off via a toggle and I freeze Google Maps until I need it b/c it runs in the background. Another thing I do is disable data while on wifi..trying to think...those are some things to consider I guess. I haven't given CM10 proper runs b/c I'm sold on HO!NO!'s Full Throttle ROM.
[LG Nitro HD] maximepull:
And I do this through recovery when battery is full right?
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
That's one way, yes. I just use Battery Calibration from the Play Store. Either way; they both do the same thing.
[LG Nitro HD] dorkage:
So how can I increase the MMS size limit in this, or any CM10 build? I tried dicking around with APK manager and I can't really figure out how to package the APK after editing the MMS_config.xml. Any ideas or zips I can install to fix this?
[LG Nitro HD] -ReaL-:
You can't calibrate the battery with any programs! They are doing nothing! It is a placebo effect.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
A quick search showed what you were talking about. Found a blog from an Android Engineer debunking the batterystats.bin myth. I'm deleting Battery Calibration as I speak. Much like my first smart phone having a task manager installed isn't necessary due to Android's task managing ability, I deleted it quickly. Thx for sort of opening my mind to the possibility it's a myth.
[LG Nitro HD] machoman1337:
I just sold this P.O.S. and I casually asked the buyer if he was planning to do any root, custom ROMs, etc (I'd flashed the phone back to stock Gingerbread). He then replied that he had just seen that this phone got a "stable" CM10 and my $180 kijiji price was really attractive (he was upgrading from a Nexus One on CM7).

Suffice to say, I warned him about all the problems with CM10 and even stock ICS. He just said he'd take his chances, and if things got bad he'd just sell the phone yet again LOL.

I wonder how he's doing on "stable" CM10... I expect it still hasn't solved the random reboot problem caused by the CPU spiking when touching the screen (especially typing rapidly in whatsapp).
[LG Nitro HD] mtdew2kx:
With lightning zap installed battery got a little better imo. Not great but better. Also, force gpu 2d, disable dithering, and disable hardware overlay and I only had 1 reboot about every 4 days or so...
[LG Nitro HD] cesargdmi:
Screen off/sleep while using camera leads to reboot, Again :( no fixed in "STABLE" version
[LG Nitro HD] MrSchroeder:
I posted the camera/reboot issue in the nightlies discussion as well as I'm using the 11/17 userdebug

Also, I think one potential reason for the insane batterydrain is there is no wifi.supplicant_scan_interval in the build.prop, meaning there will be no interval, just constant scan.
[LG Nitro HD] latinohot:
And would this be with WiFi on, or WiFi off?

[LG Nitro HD] Sparcot:
100% agree with that.
[LG Nitro HD] dorkage:
For the issue with the camera and the power button, I set mine to use the power as a shutter, that works, so I left it there. Not the best, but better than accidentally restarting it. Still happens in video mode though.

Working a lot better so far!! thanks!

---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

Had battery issues earlier on, getting better now... I calibrated a couple of times and turned off gtalk that was always running in bg.

However, sometimes I do get a black screen when trying to turn on the screen. Nothing I can do except pull the battery out and put it back it to force a reboot.

anyone else having this issue? any solutions?

thanks
[LG Nitro HD] djchrissca:
Yep got few Black Screen too ... still waiting for a release ( nightly ) that will show something interesting... ... with the WIFI .. because this is probably the most bizarre bug ... it drain the battery so quickly than my nightly!
[LG Nitro HD] ShadowOf:
black screens have been common throughout CM10. There are two different Black screens:

1. Screen remains black, hardware buttons light up and touching buttons gives haptic feedback. - Holding power off for 10-15 seconds will reboot phone

2. Screen and buttons remain black, no response to power button. Phone may become hot AND battery has taken a large hit when finally rebooted. - Battery pull required to reboot.

I have seen no fixes. Many report that on a fresh upgrade it runs fine and gets wonky after a few days.

You might try to download and reflash the 10.0 stable.

If you're running Avast build 7.0.1474, you could try one of the updated patches for Avast at http://public.avast.com/~rypacek/patches/, or uninstall Avast until they release a fix.

Hey guys,

I want to install a custom ROM on my Sony Xperia ray, but I'm a noob in this area. I've rooted the phone by these instructions.

Now, I've installed ClockworthMod with x-Parts and made a backup of my current system.

But now, I don't know how to go on ...

I've downloaded CyanogenMod for Xperia ray from the official website and copied the .zip file to the microSD-card.

Then I've chosen it in CWM, but an error (status 7) occured.

So I tried JJ's hybrid ROM, but always it appears only "update aborted".

The file name of JJ's hybrid ROM contains the words "LockedBL" - that means, I can use it also with a locked bootloader - or not?

But the instructions writes that I have to flash the kernel - and for this, I have to unlock the bootloader :/

But I don't want to unlock the bootloader? Or should I do it?

So my question is: How can I install a custom ROM via ClockworthMod with locked bootloader?

Is that possible?

Thank you very much.

Btw: Sorry for my bad English. I recovered my previous system.

---

Hallo Leute,

habe mich entschlossen, mal ein Custom ROM auf mein Sony Xperia ray aufzuspielen, bin aber da totaler Anfänger. Das Smartphone ist nach dieser Anleitung gerootet.

Ich habe nun mit x-Parts den ClockworthMod installiert und erstmal ein Backup von meinem bisherigen Zustand angelegt.

Jetzt fange ich an, nicht mehr durchzublicken

Ich habe CyanogenMod für's Xperia ray von der offiziellen Internetseite heruntergeladen und die .zip auf die SD-Karte gezogen. Dann im CWM die Datei ausgewählt, doch dann erscheint ein Fehler ("Status 7").

Als nächstes habe ich JJ's hybrid ROM ausprobiert, doch da erscheint bloß "update aborted" - ohne jegliche Fehlermeldung.

Der Dateiname von JJ's hybrid ROM enthält die Worte "LockedBL" - das heißt ja, ich kann es auch mit einem gesperrten Bootloader verwenden, nicht?

Allerdings schreibt die Anleitung, dass der Kernel geflasht werden muss, wofür doch der Bootloader unlocked werden muss :/

Das möchte ich aber nicht, weil mir das doch irgendwie zuweit geht. Oder lohnt es sich? Hm ...

Also meine Frage: Wie kann ich ein Custom ROM via ClockworthMod ohne entsperrten Bootloader installieren?

Geht das überhaupt?

Vielen, vielen Dank schonmal im voraus.

Btw: Habe es jetzt wieder auf meinen vorherigen Zustand zurückgesetzt.
[Android General] Avuja:
Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable can chime in but I was under the impression you had to unlock the bootloader regardless.
[Android General] niggonet:
Thanks for the answer ... I think, you're right. I haven't found another way to install it without unlocking bootloader. So I propably unlock it tomorrow. Do you recommend this?
[Android General] tangosierra_:
If you want to install non stock based ROM (CM9/10, AOKP etc) its a must otherwise its entirely up to you.

Sent from my arc S.
[Android General] dxppxd:
There are 2 ways this plays:

1 you need a custom kernel, in which case unlocking the bootloader is a must.

2 you need a different kernel, but its a stock kernel. Usually happens when the custom rom is made for a different android version (for example, installing an ics or jb rom, but you have gb). You can flash any OFFICIAL SONY ROM on locked bootloaders with the use of flashtools. Try and update your kernel to the one required by the rom (caution: flashing firmware ereases all data from phone).
[Android General] sandy7:
@OP Cyanogen Mod can not be installed on a locked bootloader....

it needs a kernel which is provided by the FXP team...which i result in unlocking ur boot loader.

and about JJ hybrid rom..it supports a locked BL...

plz follow proper instructions....and flash it on top of ics.

and make u wipe every thing is CWM...

including-

factory reset

wipe cache

format system

wipe dalvik cache

Flashing official sony roms

I am most definitely a noob but have somehow managed to root my xperia sp and install cwm. I was hoping to try some custom roms but have discovered that the bootloader cannot be unlocked. It seems that the only option left is to flash an official sony rom or a rom with a stock kernel. Can you advise me how to flash Jelly Bean 4.3 or ICS using flashtools? And/or how to flash a custom rom with the appropriate stock kernel. I'm asking a lot I suspect - any help much appreciated. Hopefully I will be able offer something back to the forum sometime, although I suspect it might take a while...

Thanks, Andrew
