[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangal:
v4 and v5 use completely different bases (LS7 and LSA).

I would save everything to my ext SD card.

Then goto Settings > Backup & Restore > Factory Reset (don't click on format external sd card).

Your phone will restart and do some crazy things. Then restart again.

When you get to the welcome page, or bootloop... take the battery out (its safe).

Then hold Vol Up, Home and Power (let go of Power after ~5-15sec) and goto recovery.

In recovery, wipe cache.

Then format data.

Then format system.

Then format cache.

Then wipe Dalvik cache.

Then install the v5 zip.

It shouldn't restart automatically, but it might, don't worry let it.

Now you should have a fully, fresh, clean install of v5.

Connect to your wifi, go through the start up.

Goto SuperSU and update binary.

Goto Play Store and install TiBu.

Open TiBu and grant it root access.

Close TiBu.

Connect phone to PC, then copy your TitaniumBackup folder into your sdcard directory.

Open TiBU and now, it will see your previous saves.

Restore your apps + data.

Presto! No bootlooping and no App FC !

Thanks for going to all the trouble to write all that out.

I followed the instructions to the letter but no, same result I'm afraid: it worked fine but as soon as I installed Titanium and granted root access, it asked me to choose to restore the original phone ID which I did. The phone rebooted but then wouldn't go past the "Samsung Galaxy Note Gt-N7000" screen.

I have no choice but to restore from my Nandroid backup. This is really p****ng me off but at least I can restore v4 easily.

Thanks again

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacentre:
Mystery solved - well partly. Turns out Titanium Backup Pro was causing it on my phone for some reason. This was naturally the first app I wanted to install so I could restore apps one by one from the Nandroid backup. I tried Quickboot too which also caused the same problem so because TB and then QB did the same thing I assumed every app was going to cause trouble. Shouldn't jump to conclusions, I know.

I have JB Ultimate XXSLA v5 installed and am restoring my apps one at a time from Google Play and making new Nandroid backups as I go along.

And now I just tried installing TB free version - the phone boots normally! Then I installed the TB Pro version and again the phone boots normally. When TB was the first app I installed after the ROM upgrade it hung up the phone every time on 6 attempts. I'll try re-installing Quickboot now and see what happens. Conclusion: I must have been doing something in the wrong sequence but can's see what.

Many thanks for your help.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADJack:
I've basically decided to try porting for learning purposes. At this moment I have a flash-able zip in idle until I get my phone this Friday.

So, with all the issues and controversies surrounding the Nexus 4 -- many of which are software related -- I decided that porting Jellybean 4.1.2 would be fitting. I need advice and critique from an experienced Rom Porter before I go ahead and flash my creation. I will detail my activities below but please PM me or reply here with your requests for files that may indicate the integrity of my port (build.prop for example).

Just upgraded to 4.2.1

When adding a new event to Calendar, typing in the Event Name does not bring up autocorrect suggestions..typing in Location does. Can't remember if it was like this in 4.1 or 4.2, Either way, it is annoying...

Anyone else have this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] interlard:
It came with 4.2, which I just got on my yakju GN today. It might be because the event name is now some kind of drop-down showing recently used event names. I suspect that throws the predictions off. Very, *very* annoying.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
I constantly flash ROMs and such and I've been having this problem. I have the FIFA 12 apk and I installed it on my TW ROM. Then I wiped the data/factory reset and system(ROM) and cache+Dalvik through TWRP. Then I installed CM10. So now when I install the apk it tells me that I can't play it on this device when I actually wiped everything so there shouldn't be anything telling me that it isn't verified through there. So I have tried titanium backup. I have tried plenty if things. But nothing works. Its the same thing for NFS Most Wanted. I went from having NFS on CM10 then I switched to TW and I had the problem even after restoring with titanium backup. If anyone can help. Thanks.

stuck on loading

Hello, does this work for anybody? I made two partitions on my 2GB my storage - fat32 and ext4 (swap is not needed?) and after running haret.exe it is stuck on Android on Omnia II Loading.. and apparently does nothing because the device is not even warm.

I tried removing my SD card, commenting the line mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /storage

then changed startup.txt line to

Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=5 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 init=/init"

(was mmcblk0p2)

but it is still the same and even after 15 minutes no change.

Could there be something wrong in /system/system/etc/vold.fstab ?

I did not really understand if we are to change the files you have provided or not. For example in startup.txt there is not this initrd, but I think that is because of your specific changes right?

Bricked after attempt to install CM9

I tried to install CM9 to SE Xperia X10 mini pro, I was doing by this article ( ht_p://blog.mx17.net/2012/08/14/how-to-install-android-ice-cream-sandwich-ics-on-xperia-x10-mini-pro )

After running msm7227_semc.sh ( which I changed a bit instead dos2unix I put tr -d "\r" ) here is code ( ht_p://pastebin.com/Dfp7bDb6 )

It stopped on log record 'Done, reboot, please wait'

After it the device has not any reaction, it's turned off.

Next It I tried PC Companion ( from VirtualBox ) and It didn't detect the device.

Flashtool didn't detect device either (in Linux)

I read other topics about bricked device but in most cases phone shows something at display atleast.

So is there any solutions to fix it somehow?

Try Sony Update Service to reflash Stock Rom. And this is section for X10i. For your x10 mini pro you have specific section under XDA forum.

Would the Gallery from Clean Note (ICS LRQ) work with JB?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Hi,

I've seen some people requesting just a clean, rooted stock ROM, without any other alterations. Recently I've started to play around with dsixda's Android kitchen and figured it's not that hard to build a zip from a generic .195 with just root added. It can also be deodexed to allow for theming.

If there's enough people to say "Yes" on the poll I can release it in the next few days.

I know I don't have a lot of posts so you might be wary about flashing something I've built but I've been on these forums for years, read a lot and have experience flashing lots of devices, including Galaxy S (II), Archos 80 G9 and several HTC WinMo devices.

After getting my Xperia T I became interested in removing the T-Mobile branding so flashed gregbradley's Assaye-V0-0-3. Then I removed some more bloat and added back the Skyfall theme, built it using the kitchen and flashed. So now I have my "own" little ROM which works brilliantly.

And of course I would test the build myself before releasing it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] babylonbwoy:
Definitely interested in this ! Hope more people will answer the poll !
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] clive386:
Yes please! I like to give Sony a chance before I ditch their stuff and so far I'm loving the Sony experience. A clean untouched ROM with root access would allow me to keep that experience but allow me the freedom to make my own tweaks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] GuestD0187:
Clear rooted stock ROM

I really enjoy the experience of UI of a Stock ROM and I would love to keep the same features and design + gaining a root access to get full experience of certain apps like Airdroid & Avast. Can't wait for your working clean, rooted stock ROM :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] skylovely2005:
Hope you will launch the tx version!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sean how:
ya of course, we will wait for that

but please release for Xperia TX too.

thank you very much, dude
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
I think I'll have a build ready tomorrow.

About the TX, I can't test it myself and I'd have to look into the differences. Maybe later.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] M3lt3mi:
Has anyone tested android kitchen on windows 8.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Well, I haven't and this isn't really the thread to ask that
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Sorry people but it may take a little longer than I thought. I could be in way over my head with this. Had the build ready after some trouble with updater-script and update-binary from the kitchen so replaced those with the ones from gregbradley's V0-0-3. The flash went fine, root works and I haven't had any issues except the big one that wifi won't turn on. I know greg had the same problem but he took his fix offline from the topic so I can't see what the problem is exactly. Don't really have the time right now to do further troubleshooting.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You need to add the wifi modules into system/lib/modules

I have attached the file here
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:

Could've said something...

Well, I'll go ahead and make a deodexed one.

Unlike gregbradley I will put in a superuser app, namely ChainsDD's, just for ease.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Sorry I didnt really read this thread before this morning, I dont normally follow threads that start with a poll.

I have done a deodexed one as well, but I will let you have it...and link it to the all in one for you.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tstaiano:
I'd love ro see a deodexed version for the TX please...

The TX is a great device, but I'm really feeling like a red-headed stepchild with the TXs lack of development and support.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I am sure once TiMiN8R has deodexed the rom for the T he will do one for the TX. Its only a few updater files that need changing to make one for the TX.

In the mean time you could try my TX deodexed rom, I am still looking for confirmation it works properly. follow the link in my signature.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
No harm, no foul. To me this is more about the learning experience than getting a ROM out or anything.

My deodexed build goes into a boot loop and adb doesn't see the phone so I have no idea what's going on. Could have something to do with the playstationcertified.apk that can't be deodexed?

For now I'm focussing my attention and limited time on the T, since I can use those efforts for myself but I'm not ruling out releasing something for TX some day.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No its not to do with that, That would not deodex for me in the kitchen either, I just left it odexed.

What else did you do in the kitchen?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Nothing. I used the same working directory as the rooted Rom, which works fine. Deodexed and build (zipalign, make zip, sign). Tried reflash but with same. result.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
hmm, maybe you need to edit the updater script again. Not entirley sure but I started completely from scratch on each of the builds i did.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eager27:
It is early days, but has anyone noticed a change in overall performance after the 4.2.1 update?

This could be a placebo effect, but I'm certain that things are a little smoother, less lag, and there are certainly less freezes / forced restarts so far. I was getting at least 3 of these per day, and have had none since yesterday. It also seems to have cooled the screen colour temperature slightly more bluey and less yellowy.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanHacker:
If you would've googled the 4.2.1 change log you would know that there isn't anything that would improve what you think you are noticing. All that changed is December was added back into calander and some vibration fixes. There is nothing that would improve performance or anything you've mentioned. ;)

The sensor has 8.7 Mpx but it is not rectangular. This allows for 7 Mpx in 16:9 and 8 Mpx in 4:3. With a rectangular sensor you would not be able to produce 7 Mpx 16:9 shots from an 8 Mpx 4:3 sensor just by cropping. I hope it makes sense the way I wrote it.
