[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davinci..:
Used 4.2 stock for a few days, it was absolutely terrible, so I re-flashed back to stock 4.1.2, and my phone works beautifully again.

However I now cannot live without the 4.2 gesture swiping keyboard that came with the new update.

I have searched high and low for this keyboard but all that comes up is an "early version" of the 4.2 keyboard from late oct, and it turns out its quite different from the actual 4.2 keyboard that google put out..

The 4.2 keyboard that is easily available is not nearly as accurate and has this large cartoon looking bubble text that hovers over your swiping. I have this installed now, but its just not as accurate. The official one is substantially better in this regard.

Does anyone know where to find the "actual" 4.2 keyboard that came as part of the official update?

I am running 4.1.2 yakju stock, unlocked and unrooted.

Thanks a ton, this was it. My keyboard accuracy is back, no more non sense!

Any idea if its also possible to flash in 4.2's google now updates?

So I have AdAway and love it. But I frequently find myself disabling it because certain apps have an ad blocking detector. How do you white list apps properly on AdAway?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kfc.Android:
Hi guys,

I'm relatively new to Xperia ION so this thread might have some silly question :p

The story is: I flashed my LT28at to Lt28i ROM (6.1.E.2.29) few weeks ago, everything works fine

Until I got a notification yesterday from "update center" which says: there's a update available for download,

so I tried, but somehow it get some error and shows "could not install"

I then use PC Companion to update it, but still no luck, so I'm thinking about to flash it using flashtool

but the only concern is I really want to save my data (even with Ti backup, it still takes time to backup and recovery)

So, here comes my questions:

Q1: Is it safe (or proper) to use flashtool to update the software without wiping current data?

Q2: Is there anything I should do with Baseband and/or kernel?

*PS: the phone is rooted

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

James

My Baseband version:

9x00B-SCAQCSZQ-34702090-19

Kernel version:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] johnbyebye:
I didn't lose any data on the internal storage (music, pictures, etc) when flashing with flashtool but I did lose apps, settings, etc. There is an option in flashtool to check/uncheck wipe data. I'm not a pro at this so I don't know if that would make any difference, I just came here to tell you that anything on the internal storage doesn't get wiped, lol.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kfc.Android:
Thanks man,

I just did the flash few minutes ago, with the "wipe data" unchecked.

Luckily I didn't lose any app, as well as the data in the internal storage.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Though it may not always be necessary to wipe, it's always a good idea. Little bugs and glitches can be avoided

Wiping data will not remove anything on external or internal memory.

Sorry for bumping but Im kind of having similar problem. I got a LT28i with stock rom & modified build.prop & systemUI (like disabled light sensor or toggle options, some stuffs to improve battery life, ect...).

So if I flash the new update via Flashtool, will I lose all of these settings? Cause I had to edit the build.prop manually using a text editor & added the codes myself, so I don't really want to do that again xD

This is the third time this has happened now. I flash a ROM on my N7 then i look to restore a backup and it says file not found. But I've made a backup! How the hell can i fix this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro_explorer:
Is the backup made in 4.1.2 and the new rom is 4.2 (or the other way around) ?

If yes, then I'm sorry to inform you that the path where the backup reside is different in 4.1.2 and 4.2 ... so there are some steps required to use the respective files. More than that, switching in between 4.1.2 and 4.2 will require you to alter the mounting points.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will444:
No I'm on 4.2 and did a backup of stock using cwm. Now cwm cant find my backup
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
What version of CWM.. This is a known bug on a older version. I would suggest you check that maybe even re-download and flash cwm again. Get it from cwm web site not the one in rom manager self install....

This may have been answered before, but is there a section where I can find just the ROMs which work on 2.3.5 locked bootloader Photon?

I am contemplating a switch back from my EVO LTE and GS3 to the good old Photon and want a smoother and fresher ROM...

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
No, look for roms in the dev section listed as locked. even then read the OP as I think there is only one or 2 that will run on 2.3.5.

As you know, there is already a mini Galaxy S3 (GT-I8190), I've been watching the specifications listed on this terminal and are exactly like my Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070), but since they are the same specifications will not exist the idea of carrying so very savagely new firmware terminal S3 Galaxy mini to Galaxy S Advance? assumes that, (I'm not very expert in this topic), but if they are the same specifications, we take advantage of that will appear in SAMMOBILE firmwares, and so would become the GT-I9070 to GT-I8190, is just an idea or you who say?:D

Hey!

I rooted my friends S2 alooong time ago, it's on Android 2.3 with Cyanogenmod.

Now he's starting to have problems, it says that the harddrive is full, but it isn't. And now it won't boot up anymore.

I'm going to reroot it, how am I going to do? It already got fully working recovery, but it's old.

I got some questions:

*He's stuck on booting logo, can I just flash an 4.1.2 ROM over the 2.3 Cyanogenmod ROM? Will something happen?

*Do I need to update the recovery? How? As I can recall, rooting the S2 was a huge problem for me. I didn't have the same problem when rooting my S3.

Thanks in advance,

Sebastian
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
What do you want to do?

Update to JB 4.1.2 (XXLSJ)?

Then flash stock XXLSJ ROM, or (like me) XXLSJ NeatROM Lite v4.0, which is modified stock ROM (removed bloatware and some nice mods added).

NeatROM is already rooted, so no need to root manually.

Here is the NeatROM thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569686

I recommend to do the full-wipe install as described in the thread.

You only need CWM recovery for flashing the ROM zip file.

If you want the stock ROM (flashable as tar file with Odin) and manual rooting, then use PhilZ-cwm6 kernel v3.65 for XXLSJ from here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

Just download kernel zip file and flash it in stock recovery (after flashing the stock XXLSJ ROM).

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebbe312:
Well, I'm wondering if I just could flash latest Paranoid ontop of the 2.3 Cyanogenmod, would that be possible? And do I need to flash over Odin, or can I just put everything on my SD card and flash via recovery?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
Not sure it can really be done. Even if it is possible, you have to buy your on copy of Windows 8 because Windows is not open source. When it comes down to it you wouldn't gain any functionality that Android doesnt already provide. If you are looking for just the a Windows 8 launcher there is one available in the play store.

This won't happen. Alternatively if it does happen it will not be shared and generally be underground.

1. It won't happen because of radio and other hardware issues. If by some miracle the hardware works it probably still won't happen. Devs struggle to make due with binary blobs on linux.Changing the OS entirely is another magnitude of difficulty and effort.

2. Licensing. The way windows 8 is sold prohibits it being distributed without a phone/tablet for the ARM architechture. So even if this does work any publishing will immediately be hit by a DMCA. Most people with the skillset aren't going to deal with that and either will move on or keep any work they do for just them.

Sorry.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Rei Hatsune:
I need to encrypt my Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet because I'm also using it for my job. But it seems, that the Performance of the ThinkPad Tablet is very weak. Lenovo offers the ThinkPad as an business Tablet. We all know, that this tablet is all but not a business ready tablet, but there should be a method to encrypt your tablet.

So, my question is how to encrypt my device without loosing a lot of performance and which ROM image is the best one to us the device in a secure way.

The Stock ICS Image is much faster than the old Android 3 one, but a lot of apps are very slow. I also tried the CM10-ROM in the developers section but, it seems it doesn't support any encryption. There is a button in the control panel, but it doesn't do anything. It would be nice if there would be another ROM out there which also supports encryption AND is fast enough for working.

[Xperia Play Android Development] khamees_xi:
as an xperia play lover my self i stared to experiment with play..........

i flashed a lot of roms and kernels....got bricked about 20 times

today i discovered something interesting i found a way to speed up my ics roms without using adreno drivers.

know it is stable as GB

i DID was i took a baseband from a neo L rom and flashed it with flash tool and flashed my ics rom and kernel

once it booted i performed very well with games and can even play videos and run apps much smoother

here is how i did it fast i flashed neo L baseband (u can flash the baseband with out changing or re flashing the rom no factory reset s needed but i think it shoud be done)

and flashing kernel is must or it my not boot up

and i fogot to write is that it also increased my sound volume

dont belive me try for our self

know i am going to try it with neo l know baseband -84 current is 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028G-74
[Xperia Play Android Development] extremetempz:
How Much Ram You Get????

And i dont believe its as stable as GB
[Xperia Play Android Development] khamees_xi:
i got about 189 - 209 ram free space

the performance is not only related to ram you know
[Xperia Play Android Development] Venael:
Any benchmarks with Your proper baseband and after changing it to neo l?:)
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
You did something like the process of installation for MIUI Australia, didn't you? What ROM are you using?
[Xperia Play Android Development] khamees_xi:
lets say its more stable and their are no errors and my baseband verson is 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028G-74

you know the reson i flashed the baseband is simple the specification of two mobile are very common
[Xperia Play Android Development] khamees_xi:
no its nothing like it. and the rom i am using is official ics beta rom i tried it with icream purrness rom also
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Indeed it is like it.

CosmicDan is passing instructions for flashing the Neo L baseband either for MIUI Australia has a while. But don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying you copied him, just both of you had the same idea. I also was using the baseband 84 of Neo L with SlimBean (a JB ROM) without problems.

Also, basebands can affect radio communications, like wifi, bluetooth, phone signal and phone data connection as far as I know. That is, maybe you can feel a stabler device to every radio transaction, but general UI smoothness is not affected by baseband
[Xperia Play Android Development] khamees_xi:
it may be if u checked it did you feel any diference in its performence?? i may be a jounior member but you can also tell the smoothness and speed of your apps

i can also can make my own ftf files and roms ..... lately i have been on thw work in a ics rom i was trying to use neo v baseband but neo l was latst so i experimented with it and it was the result
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Dude, again, don't misunderstand me.

I'm not saying this because you're a junior member, I didn't mean to offend you. I would say this to everyone because we are in a discussion space.

I did some research before my previous post just to confirm what I knew / thought. The baseband control radio communications. Our feeling is a subjective evaluation and I didn't feel differences in UI performance (either in radio performance lol) but I do believe the radio get better because the baseband is newer and it's something expected.
[Xperia Play Android Development] khamees_xi:
ok then do a little more me be the baseband may also help in developing new roms

i tried many basband only neo, l, v, seems to mach xperia plays with out any error

you know that they have announced 2012 xperia phones (meybe neo l also) have been announced official JB so i am thinking making a JB rom with the basband of a JB official rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Different basebands may change how the phone searches for a signal, maybe the baseband you use is more stable so the phone uses less resources while searching for a signal maybe? but baseband has nothing to do with performance, that is all rom and kernel side.
[Xperia Play Android Development] khamees_xi:
so it uses less resource so it can cause to increase in perforce
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheCraig:
Maybe, I'm still on -64 baseband as its the stablest I've found but I plan on flashing Neo L Baseband -87 or -78 tomorrow to see if its any better.

Even if it is possible to get a performance boost from other basebands (IF they use less resources) then it would be minimal, and hardly noticeable.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jeffbud98:
To test TheCraigs assumption just turn the phone on airplane mode delete the running apps and see if performance has improved or just try the baseband out yourself
