I'm brand new to this, but i want to unlock my windows phone so i can put custom apps and themes and so on on it. I'm currently running the latest update and running the mango build, i was wondering, how do i unlock my phone, i've been searching and searching and i think i may have to downgrade my phone, i'd like help with this however incase i do anything wrong or if i use the wrong programmes to do this. Help would be appreciated.
[Trophy General] interopbyt:
You have to flash this thing called HSPL to your Trophy. The instructions are all here!

The HSPL allows custom roms on your device, but it doesn't unlock it. After you flash HSPL, you then have to install a custom rom that comes with an unlock (most roms do). Good luck!

Hi,

I wanted to set a photo I have taken as screensaver without cropping is there anyway this can be done?

I am aware of application 'Zedge' for wall papers where you don't have to crop but obvoiusly this does not work for personal photos.

Also is there anyway of setting lockscreen as a different image to wallpapers once Razr i is unlocked.

If anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks

Deodex or not?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pcarvalho:
its not deodexed mainly cause stock rom is made like that... and there is a zip made for our xperia s that is deodex...

cheers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pato66:
Hello, the kernel is the same than 6.1.A.2.50 rom, I am wrong or Its well?

Thanks

ok, only reflashing the kernel, now I do the new kernel
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pcarvalho:
step 7... flash both kernel and baseband...

cheers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nepobedimas:
pcarvalho, can you provide screenshots of quicksettings panel with bbar

thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kathir.:
I've a noobish quesion. For flashing a firmware using flashtool, I usually flash kernel.sin alone and all boxes in 'Exclude' unchecked.

How to do flash baseband? Does kernel.sin include baseband as well or do I need to do something additional or different?

6) Let the rom settle a little bit if everything on your sdcard is not read.

Can you clarify this step.Do you want us to wait until the sdcard contents are read?

cheers!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Warren87:
Maybe I should give it a try .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pcarvalho:
kernel is one thing baseband is another...

in flashtool firmware selection window

2 get kernel only flash:

make so firmware content only shows kernel.sin and loader.sin

(dont forget to turn off data wipe)

[_] wipe data

[_] wipe cache

[_] wipe apps log

[X] exclude system

[_] exclude kernel

[X] exclude baseband

[X] exclude fota

Hello,

I'm considering of unlocking my bootloader. Do you guys recommend it (warranty and so...).

And is there a chanche that when i'm flashing CM10 my xperia S could hard brick and won't be able to restore with flashtool or can you always reflash with flashtool?

Thank you ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] element800:
Yeah I really kinda enjoy flashing roms and testing them out on my phone but i'm also a bit afraid of bricking and warranty ;/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
I would tweak everything you can and play around with locked bootloader first. You can always unlock later, but once you do unlock it can never be hidden from Sony service centers. Unlocking does NOT automatically void warranty, but gives more reasons to deny coverage. Playing first will give you an idea about what you would do if you unlock. And as always read, read, read, about what you are going to do first, recovering an unlocked bootloader device can be more difficult that locked

Just do what I do. Sod warranty, get insurance through your bank account. That way if you totally brick it. Throw it on the floor and claim for a new one!

It's unlocked ;) Installed CM10 and I like it, I watched a lot of tutorials on youtube, read on XDA and other sites.

PS : is CM10 the best jellybean rom or do you guys recommend something else?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fareeed:
Personal preference really but for me CM10 is the best Jellybean ROM, I like AOKP as well. Both are good, just whichever you think is best :)

Perfect Android is a redistribution of the Android Open Source Project and Google software code that I have lightly modified to make as a daily driver for myself that I'm sharing with the community. This project doesn't have and won't focus on adding a ton of features and mods but instead focus on stability, and reliability so yes basically this is a stock like rom but not just stock my only efforts will be to make it run better, and be more polished, and complete.

GOOGLE APPS ARE INCLUDED

Mirrors:

If you have an error or something pops up I ask that before you post about it please make sure that you are running the ROM as provided. I cannot troubleshoot anything that is related to using other kernels, mods, or themes.

This ROM is basically like a stock rom of jelly bean so there is not a need for screen shots ........

Always remember that XDA started out as a great place and will remain a great place as long as we are great to each other anything used in this ROM is available upon request and feel free to use this as a base rom for any other project my ROM is un-branded just give me some mention .......

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jakdillard:
yep its uploaded
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jakdillard:
it looks just like stock I built it to be at least as good as what you get from google if everything is working correctly that is when I will begin modifying but for now it looks like the stock ROM so I didn't think screenshots would be needed
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Patroy:
first of all you have to give us changelog, then i'll flash it, because now i don't know exactly what are the differences between Your rom and stock, so is it worth flash it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jakdillard:
Its solely up to you guys if you want to flash it as this is an expensive hobby for me I'm just sharing what I do with the community so is it worth it, for me yeah, for you I really don't care, I hope I'm not coming off as an ass but I have to draw a line somewhere. I not making any claims with this ROM I just sharing it if you use it fine if not fine, I don't get into the whole screenshots large claims huge changelog thing I just post and share I also maintain this ROM for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus which it has done just fine so if you want you can do a search here and see what and where I come from .......
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Patroy:
I'm very happy when see any new rom in N7 development, because nexus need fresh look from developers, so i was thinking that You could push some new tweaks into ours devices. Almost all roms here are just "cleaned" or "minimalistic" or "performanced" in real these rom are almost stock with the same user experience. So do not get angry when I want to know if there will be something more here...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SuperBoUDS:
Does it work with twrp?

After flash with twrp, I see the information is Android 4.2 JOP40C. I dont know whether it is flashed or not?:confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Limbo045:
I will happily try your rom to see how it compares to CleanRom, give my feedback tomorrow
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jakdillard:
I'm not getting angry with you in fact I agree however, regardless of how you feel about those roms someone still put that effort into them. Honestly for me the N7 is a new device and before I go making claims that my ROM can start your car and end world hunger I want to make sure that it at least meets stock standards. AOSP has done a lot of work to somewhat remove google entries in their code so it has taken me a few days to re-build AOSP code to work correctly with G-APPS and other Google code I do NOT claim to be an over the top developer I just do this as a pastime I have certain things that I do not like and thats why I have started making my own ROMs so that I always get what I want. Now I can tell you this and I know this as a fact THIS IS NOT A WINZIP KITCHEN ROM IT IS BUILT FROM SOURCE it took hella work to get it up to a win zip ROM and thats where we're at so far lol. When I learn all the changes to the 4.2 coding I will start to add small feature to my ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jakdillard:
yes it works with TWRP and the information in the About screen is correct

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omeer:
Hey guys, help a noob out? I bought a Nexus 4 from craigslist for $650 because my order is in limbo level 3 right now. The phone was brand new, nothing was opened as far as I can tell. So after using it for a few hours I noticed the yellowish tint so many of you mentioned on here and now the phone won't even turn on. I called Google and they said they cannot honor the warranty since I didn't originally purchase it from the Google Play store and I should take it back to the person who sold it to me? Seriously, take it back to the craigslist guy? To my understanding when you purchase a product the remaining manufacturer's warranty transfers over to the person who bought it? Google has been such an arse about this whole Nexus 4 thing, I'm seriously considering sticking with Apple, smh! Any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
You spent $650 because you could not wait another week? Not sure what to tell you but if you posted here first I would have told you not to do it.

As for the warranty maybe you can talk top the seller. I doubt he will give you your money back back maybe he can transfer the warranty.

Good lesson in life either way though about having a little patience.. Sorry friend. I hope it works out for you..

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweaked:
I would call LG. Google may not do anything, but LG prolly will. Its thier warranty. Not Googlies.\

I don't get why you couldn't wait to own it. Its a cool phone. but really. Not worth 650. :o
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omeer:
I tried to be patient, it was an impulse buy. I figured I'd make the money back by selling this one when my back ordered nexus comes in.

I tried to get in touch with this guy but he's not responding. He probably knew about the issue or no longer cares now that he has his money. I have the receipt that proves he bought it from the play store. But the problem is how do I get someone I can't contact to transfer the warranty over? I'm seriously considering calling google under the false pretense that I'm this guy and I want to transfer my warranty :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omeer:
Yeah I called them and they agreed to replace /service it. While that's good news, there is no express replacement service so I'll have to send the phone in and wait for them to mail out another one. It's e waiting game that I can't play :(

Well thats a personal issue. You chose to buy from a (IMO) horrible place (Craigs list) and now you get what that comes with. Horrible service. :(

Me, I'd just be glad 650 is not out the window.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omeer:
LOL and here I thought I'd get more sympathy for a more emphatic loss
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omeer:
Yeah I guess I'll just have to suck it up and wait. Limbo level 4 anyone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweaked:
You'll be better off then limbo level. I am sure they have a service center in the states, and I bet they attempt to connect to it, Won't be able, stick it in the parts bin and then send you off a referb.

You at least "know" what is happening. Some them limbo's are clueless on what is happening.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonator:
I find this amusing. First AFAIK Google does not transfer warranties. In fact if you lookup the terms and conditions, you must have and "Maintain" a Google wallet account to get Google warranty. That said, when they sold out in 20 minutes, I looked on Ebay and there was a listing where in big bold red letters stated Google has a no questions asked warranty. I thought it was a horrible misrepresentation. ANyway...Good luck.

Replacement of Nexus 4

Hi there, I found your post on xda-developers forum and as I have the same issue - bought expensive phone from Kijiji and now have a brick, I want to see how to go about it. Google said they will 'transfer warranty' but then days later they said it was an error. LG is saying to call Google and are quite rude about it. The phone was new from never opened box bought in February?

How did you do? Did you get a repaired or a new phone? And do you have any advice in dealing with LG? :(

Thanks,

Is there some sort of case that I can use to protect the back of the phone that works with the flip cover? I can almost get a gel case on the back, but without making some modifications with a craft knife (I am useless at that sort of thing), I can't fold the cover back with it attached.

There must be some solution out here that allows me to use the flip cover with protection on the back?

Case Combo that Works

I use both a Flip Case and a Hybrid Case together giving me front cover, all around protection and kickstand. I attached the flip case. I then cut a small section from the left side of the hybrid case to allow the cover on the flip to open freely and attached it to the GN2 with the flip cover. Here are the ebay products I used:

Its just the cutting part I wanted to avoid. Im quite surprised samsung didnt develop a back case to compliment the flip cover.

Looks like im gonna have to try and cut a section out of my gel case then, or find someone who has some cutting skills.

Isn't the entire back the replaced cover? Unless you want to protect the camera more...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] simacca:
No. I want to protect the back from getting scratched up and from knocks and bumps.

Hmm,a badly cut edge could scratch the metal part.which is not replaceable. Since you're thinking of buying a case anyway, why not spend the extra 5 dollars and go for one's with built in flip cover. They look the same the oems
