Thanis bro, I dont want to root my device. Before this i have i have used dlashtool. I have rooted xperia x10i before this many times. I jast wanna make sure that this procedure works? Can not i upgrade using firmware upgrade tool on sonymobile website?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalit387:
flashtool does not root or unlock bootloader of your device until you do it by your own.

It is a tool to install firmwares on Sony Xperia Devices.

So do not worry about it thanks to neectron for a helpful thread on Sola Development Section

Is it safe to upgrade to ICS? I am very confused? i have done this before but I dont wanna take risk with me new phone. Is this ICS update bug free?

And if something went wrong can i go back to my origional software?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] happy3777:
No there isnt any risk

Ucs is always better in all means than gingerbread..

But at the same will consume a bit more ram..

Nothing goes wrong normally..

Its safe and if sumthing goes wrong flash back to gb using flashtool..

Otherwise no prob..

Alright so I install my apps to my SD Card, including most of the ones that are supposed to be on the Internal Storage. But whenever I install the apps to my SD Card, it still takes up internal storage. Is there a way to fix this or clear this? I cleared the cache with App2SD, but there's still a lot of memory being used on internal storage. Can anyone help?

-dbearstrong.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Apps always leave dalvik-cache and their data on internal memory.

The workaround for this is partitioning your sd card and using an app or script to move apps to the partition.

Look in the recopilation and stickies for solving internal memory problems.

I just upgraded from the Galaxy Nexus to the Note 2. I really utilized the Mail Widget on the Nexus. It allowed me to preview 2 independent exchange mailboxes on one screen. I can not find this in the app store or any .apk to download. I thought it was standard with Jelly Bean, but maybe it is a Google Nexus specific.

Same here - it is the only really crappy thing so far about this phone....I can set up the Gmail widget, but no exchange email widget...:(

Ok so I got it working. I just played with the files until it worked. Here is the end result.

1 - Need root.

2 - system/app and backup 4 files

To sdcard or wherever you prefer.

1 - SecEmail.apk

2 - SecEmail.odex

3 - SecExchange.apk

4 - SecExchange.odex

3 - system/app and delete 4 files

1 - SecEmail.apk

2 - SecEmail.odex

3 - SecExchange.apk

4 - SecExchange.odex

4 - Download these 2 files

1 - Email.apk

2 - Exchange2.apk

Link - http://db.tt/sqe4Bas6 ( both files from MY gnex)

(If you have a gnex you can just pull them from system/app if you dont trust my files :p)

5 - copy two files to data/app

6 - restart phone

7 - go to settings and clear data cache etc..

8 - enjoy gnex mail widget

After I rooted my GN2, I ran this hack to remove the PIN requirements from my exchange mail (stock touchwiz). It works great. I would think it would work for the Nexus client here as well.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polartec:
I have a GT-I9000, rooted using CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.tar, running a beta of Cyanogenmod 9. It worked flawlessly for a long time. I do not know the exact Cyanogenmod version currently, but I could find out in a few days if necessary.

Two days ago, the phone got stuck in a boot loop after its battery died and I subsequently connected the wall charger.

Since I can get into download mode but not into CWM Recovery, I decided to flash a kernel with included recovery. I tried flashing CF-Root and the Devil kernel using "heimdall flash --kernel zImage" (without repartitioning) from Linux. All kernel flashes had the same outcome: download mode still possible, recovery mode still not possible, and, since the first flash, a hang on the Samsung logo instead of the boot loop. Also, all the time since the boot loop, the phone is not detected by adb anymore.

I could try to go back to stock - from what I have read that would probably work - but I would also lose all data on the device since the last backup (is that true?).

Since I am only interested in getting recovery working again so that I can use adb to transfer data off the phone, here's my question:

What part of the stock image is needed to restore recovery mode? Will it be enough to flash the primary bootloader using heimdall?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polartec:
I would also be grateful for any information about what happens on the i9000 until recovery mode is reached, and in particular which files / parts of the flash are involved in this process.

I would guess that recovery modes are executed by the kernel, in place of the distribution's init, and are stored either somewhere in the root filesystem or in an initramfs.

Hey guys,

I have been searching the forums and found no answers on this topic. I wanted to know if there was a mod for enabling scrolling vertically (up and down) in the stock photo gallery app instead of horizontally (left to right). I really hate scrolling horizontally to find photos. I would much rather be able to scroll through photos up and down. If there is any possible mod or alternative app to accomplish this, please let me know!

thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MikusP:
I'd be really interested in this too. I love the stock gallery and take a lot of Photo Spheres, but I really can't stand the horizontal scrolling!!! Its totally not intuitive.

I think QuickPic is great, but the lack of Photo Sphere integration is a bit of a let down.

I'm guessing as this post is two years old, there's no easy solution...

[General Questions and Answers] mickaaa:
Hello everyone,

Firstly, I'm sorry if it's not the good place but I didn't found out the right place.

So I'm here because I have a problem with my sanei n10 quad tablet.

I tried to deodex it with smali/baksmali version 1.4.1.

For the apk, no problem. For certain jar, like am.jar no problem either.

But when I deodex a jar like framework.jar, I don't have any error during the process but I get bootloop after replacing it. Same for services.jar.

I specify the right bootclasspath-dir and I tried also with bootclasspath.

I searched on the web, but nothing for that kind of error.

So does anyone know what I am missing/messing ?

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me :)

ps: I also tried to deodex with dsixda's kitchen, bootloop again.
[Galaxy S II General] Invincible29:
I am back on lps after spending a few months on nelp4 and xxls6. Latter drain battery. Although xxls6 gave me 5mbps max there was so much switching between h and h+.

Lps is good on speed and battery.

Currently using android xxlq3 with xxlps on three UK.

Any one else had any experience with the three modems on three UK?
[Galaxy S II General] mattisfaction:
I've used all three on EE in the UK (Formerly T-Mobile).

I live inbetween two masts, my property has a terrible material for the signal to pass through the property. Therefore on one side of the property it uses one mast and on the other it uses the other... the one mast is 2g and the other is 3g... this as we know is a terrible combination for our phones modem, especially with some modem software files.

I have used lps and get a moderate change between masts, and a relatively good signal, although it drops off too many times for my liking.

I have used XXLQ6 (it's not ls6 mate) this in my opinion is a pathetic modem, very low chance of getting any signal, one bar at the most, and the change between masts is atrocious.

I have used nelp4 and nelp3, there is not much difference between them, although maybe in my opinion nelp3 is better. Both modem give me at least 2 bars in my property, they switch between masts at a good rate, and the signal I get on the 3g mast is fast and stable, the signal on the 2g mast does not drop out during calls, although sometimes the signal will break up occasionally.

Currently I am using the leak 4.1.2 firmware with it's modem, although the signal is not as good as the nelp3 and nelp4 modems for data speed, and for signal strength, I'm able to make and receive calls and texts and have rare signal drop issues.
[Galaxy S II General] Invincible29:
Thanks mate for your valuable input. Xxls6 is the new modem from leaked jb. I found high data speeds but more battery drain and switching.
[Galaxy S II General] mattisfaction:
Sorry mate, get you now, just so many doughnuts around, and for once I was one of them.

I agree with you on the leaked modem, however being that I'm on the leak firmware, thought is give it a long test. In my property it does not like the 2g mast, hence the signal drops, but holds a wider range on the 3g mast for longer

My Xperia fell today and when I picked up I saw the screen was broken (im talking about the inner part which is the LCD I believe)

Its kinda like this [Seach on youtube "My LCD Xperia X8 Cracked" since I can't post links :(] (That is not my device but the problem seems to be the same, even tho on mine its only a small part (just the top edges))

Everytime I turn on the phone now it just shows the lanes then turns itself off.

Is there any way to fix it? If so, would I have to buy a nex LCD? And if so, would it be hard to change it myself? I live on a small town and trusting your device to some technician is like giving away your money.

I have the same issue every time the phone dies from lack of battery. after poking it a bit on USB (connect it for 20-30 times) I saw that the device sometimes switches on in Flash Mode and after a while, FlashTool wil recognize it and do s strange thing. It allows you to start flashing what you want but after starting to gather device info, it freezes. after doing this a few times (10-15 times) Windows recognizez new device and the FlashTool asks to choose my device. Then the phone reboots and starts up in Android.

Usually this works and phone starts to charge but today after it started it was not charging and the batt level was saying Batt 0% and that it won't last if unplugged. I've left it like taht for an hour but still nothing. Then I decided to reboot the phone from the power button menu and after restart it started charging. It took a while but then it returned to normal and now it works again.

I have this issue only on custom kelners both NAA and ALFS but it's ok on stock kelner...

It would be great to find a fix for this as it is very annoying and time taking just to make the phone start charging... :(

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] spepper:
I don't normally post stuff here, but when I do, it's something I find very important or useful & worthy of passing along. I recently upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999) only to discover that it seems to not have default means of setting my custom MP3 files as certain ringtones-- specifically, notification sounds. All I could find in the "set as" tool was options for "alarm" and (phone) "ringtone". I did however find a laborious workaround that requires moving every damned MP3 file into the "notification" folder in the phone system, then going back to use the "set as" tool to create a clock alarm, THEN going back to the system sounds menu to open the notification sounds & (finally) find the custom MP3 file I originally moved to the (you guessed it) notifications folder. Talk about laborious & time wasting! I found this free little app, MP3 Ringtone Maker, that does all that automatically-- in other words, it does indeed have the direct option of selectiing any MP3 file within its explorer to directly "set as" the file to the system notification sound for the texting/messaging sound effect, without having to go through the previously mentioned workaround. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to take the time to create custom sounds (as I do on my PC, using Audacity) then easily set them quickly as your phone's default sound effects. Here it is: http://bit.ly/MnLqLQ:):)

I use the myxer app. It allows you to trim any mp3 file to get a specific part of a song and when you're done, it allows you to either save it as a ringtone or a notification.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] spepper:
in hindsight (the best kind)

In hindsight, I probably should have titled my thread "A good ringtone Set-As'er"-- I realize there are great little custom ringtone makers out there-- I just happen to diddle a lot on my PC for audio stuff (since that's where the bulk of my MP3 collection is anyway) & use an audio editor (Audacity) to create custom stuff to send to my phone (instead of draining the battery on my phone to accomplish the same). I just happened to find the "MP3 Ringtone Maker" I mentioned above to seem to be the easiest app to browse my phone's storage for my selected MP3 stuff I transferred to it, and quickly "set as" them into (for example) the notification sound that the default Android "set as" tool doesn't seem to include.

Sorry this particular issue is pretty unknown and most likely an issue with your particular firmware or maybe of the app you used, if the copy/paste bug appears in other apps also, then it's definitely a firmware problem, I myself have used ics stock and didn't have the mentioned problem as so do several others, I recommend you download an official firmware of your region and carrier(if any) and flash it via Odin, you don't need to worry about warranty as flashing stock won't trigger the flash counter, i recommend you follow a guide if confused as there are several available, or try custom firmwares to your tastes.
