Not really...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] XDantheManX:
1. Connect your Xperia S to the computer

2. Open Device Manager and uninstall all Sony drivers.

3. Disconnect your Xperia S.

4. Connect it again with USB Debugging turned off. Wait for USB drivers to install and disconnect.

5. Turn on USB debugging. Connect to computer.

6. All USB and ADB drivers should be installed!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
Didn't work. The only drivers that Device Manager shows up is the "Xperia S" the sa0103 has never appeared. So I uninstalled it, and followed your procedure. Nothing was installed until I turned USB Debuggin on. I repeated this process twice just to make sure.

This sa0103 is killing me!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ArtiesFox:
Have a same problem

I can't install sa0103 adb too but I just solve it for a moment.

Try following my solution

1.) Install Sony sa0103 driver manually from device manager

( Device Manager / Action / Add Legacy Hardware / Select from list / Sony sa0103 / Have disk / Your downloaded driver folder)

*You can find driver for Xperia S (ICS) here >> developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-s-driver-for-ics <<

2.) At Device Manager go to Portable Devices you may see Xperia S as a MTP, then update driver software.

3.) Select "Search automatically for updated driver software".

After step 3 I finally see device Sony sa0103 working.

* When finished 1st step I also reboot my computer.

** I always turn on my USB Debug.

*** I already have PCC & Sony Update Service installed.

**** I'm using windows 8 Pro x64.

Hope this help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ArtiesFox:
If it's help

And this is what you gonna see in Device Manager and when cmd adb devices.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
I can only see the sa0102 (from my former xperia arc)!!!

After I "select from list" (Device Manager / Action / Add Legacy Hardware / Select from list / Sony sa0103 / Have disk...), I can't see the sa0103, just the 0102.

So the driver is not listed...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ArtiesFox:
Xperia Arc

Oh keep calm, So when you add legacy hardware just leave it options to "Show all devices".

Then click have disk normally.

Wish you luck :))
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
Yes! Now it has shown up! However I'm getting the yellow attention sign, even after I click to update driver software.

I'm installing this driver: sa0103adb.inf. Is it correct?

Should it be in a specific path?

Thanks a lot so far!

Oh and btw: At the end of the instalation I get this: The software for this device is now installed, but may not work correctly. This device cannot start (Code 10).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ArtiesFox:
That was a good signal

Ahh I see, You're already on right path I have that sign before but I forgot how to do next. I'll update later.

ps. I'm helping because I know how it feel, It's bad when problems went dark and we don't know where the exit is.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ArtiesFox:
I got it

Oh yesss, I remember this.

After yellow sign appear I try to automatic update both of "Sony sa0103 adb" and a MTP device named "Xperia S"

and after I update MTP "Xperia S", that sa0103 is working correctly.

This is how I do with it. (Pic below)

(I let windows find device update on the internet)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
Doesn't work... I get this message on both updates: Windows has determined that the software driver for your device is up to date.

However the yellow sign does not leave. When I click on properties I still see "This device cannot start (Code 10)."
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ArtiesFox:
Try again friend

Mmm, I'd like you to try disconnect and uninstall "Xperia S" and see what happen next and then install it again.

(After that uninstall, I forgot to tell you that I reboot my laptop too)

Try all way, Don't worry I'm going to help you until you've it working.

I was thinking about how it connect, because my friend's laptop didn't do anything but It working correctly.

In the other hand, your's and mine is not working. I have no idea why (OS or Manufacturer).

*Sorry, my English is bad.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
No worries, man. Your english is fine, I can understand you. I'll try that soon.

Yea I don't know why either... It worked on my laptop but I can't get it to work on my desktop. One thing that happens when I connect it to the PC while it's off is that it turns on automatically. So when I connected it in fastboot mode, the green light showed up and everything, I saw the notification in windows "S1 boot" and also the "ADB interface", but they didn't install correctly because the phone would turn itself on and so I'd lose the connection to the PC...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ArtiesFox:
There they are

Ok, I found these people mess around driver too. like I think, 2 drivers fight each other for starting up one device.

Just reinstall MTP Xperia S and it will work along together.

Let's see if this gonna work with you too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Igorsep:
How do I uninstal it? If it's on device manager, after I "add legacy hardware" (sa0103) as soon as I click to "scan hardware changes" it installs automatically and the sa0103 keeps the yellow sign...

I really apreciate your help. Thanks a lot!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ArtiesFox:
This way

Right click at Xperia S driver and uninstall, remove your phone and reboot computer once.

and normally install and update it again, I really hope it will work this hard time.

(Pic again) :D

*You'd better leave sa0103 alone, nothing to do with him now, or it may disappear again.

**After reinstall you may see 2 of sa0103 driver, one is yellow and one is working,

just remove the yellow one but don't delete anything from HDD that window asking.
[General Questions and Answers] thebeastglasser:
Hey guys, I've been around here for a while, and I've finally decided to try and start compiling and building from source myself. I know that it's possible to develop from there, and I've set up Virtual Box multiple times, but I'm not sure what to assign to it (hardware). As much as I'd like to dual boot my system, my computer was set up to have a dynamic partition, and so sadly it isn't possible to do so.

So here are my main questions:

How many gigabytes of storage do I partition for Virtual Box?

How many cores will I need to assign?

How much RAM do I allow my virtual environment?

__________________________________________________

When answering, keep in mind that I will be compiling Jelly Bean.

Hardware Components on my PC

Quad Core 2nd Gen i7 Processor @ 2.2gHz (w/hyper threading)

[General Questions and Answers] melvinchng:
A normal rom data is about 20GB...

I dunno how much ram it require. Most of the developers run Linux. And even in i7 and SSD, it takes about 2 hours to compile a rom...

For apps, I'm not too sure. A 5MB app Is about 40mb after decompile.

[HTC One X+] mfpreach:
I haven'thad my phone long enough to really gage, but do you guys run power saver 24/7? Does turning down the cpu actually help?
[HTC One X+] Darealshht:
I keep it on 24/7 and the battery still drains badly I had a S3 before this phone and that one had better battery life also it takes for ever to charge and if your using maps with a charger connected it discharges so either you'll stay with the same % you started with or less
[HTC One X+] Dmwitz:
If the opportunity arises get hold of a Note II. The battery is silly good. It just will not run out even with intense use. Also coming from a HOX you won't even think of it as large when you get it in your hand.
[HTC One X+] alias3800:
I'm trying to figure this out now, just got the phone yesterday. The idea of turning the cpu down bothers me.. but I'm doing it for the sake of experimenting lol

So far though.. I can't really complain about the battery life. Better than the HOX at least.
[HTC One X+] Andrew149:
you wont notice a speed difference with the battery saver on at all unless you were one of the unlucky people who got a laggy phone.

My phone is depend for vodafone. :(

Can I flash JB kernel and rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Spex:
no you cant

its necessery to unlock your bootloader to flash kernels and access fastboot

But how did you unlock if fastboot would be disabled? And what happens if you connect your phone and in flashtool you select "reboot in fastboot mode" ? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kovacslaszlo13:
I connect phone to flashtool and it reboot and don't happen nothing. :(

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kovacslaszlo13:
I unlocked with s1tool via tespoint method,but i have branded phone. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kovacslaszlo13:
I unlocked:

(Flashtool)

But i haven't got fastboot because i have branded phone.

What can I do about it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
If you unlocked your phone via testpoint method, then your bootloader should be unlocked and fastboot enabled.

Try connecting your phone in fastboot mode - Hold down Menu button, connect USB cable. If LED turns blue, your phone is in fastboot mode.

And no, kernels only via fastboot for our devices.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Hold Down Menu? Volume up, or is menu working, too? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
It should be volume up button. See link
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Oh yes, Volume Up, sorry.

Confused it with my Arc S. LWW and other MDPI do require Volume Up.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megacoolrock:
Hey just an idea, I like the best of both worlds
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
Not sure why . Give it a Go..

Go to the kindle fire threads see if you can download the rom from there..Depending on your android knowledge you may be able to port some of its framework into your nexus 7 rom...

THE Question is how bad you want it.How much time you are willing to put into it.Stock android to me is near perfect on the nexus this is the reason we buy NEXUS Devices.. But its a very open device and you take it to where ever your hacking ability want it to go..

When you get the rom ported show us some pics

Good Luck...

Hi,

I really dislike some security apps forcing all kinds of things(virus scanner) into an application which I only want to use to remotely control my phone. So I wrote aeGis.

aeGis allows most of the functionality you'll see with Lookout or Cerebrus, but handles it locally on your phone via SMS with no data connection being required to complete any of the actions.

If your phone ever goes missing or is stolen, simply text the passphrase you chose to your device to activate any of the four options. aeGis will alert you if the action has been successfully completed.

Features:

- Ability to remotely lock your device via SMS

- Ability to remotely enable sound on your device via SMS

- Ability to remotely locate your device via SMS

- Ability to remotely wipe your device via SMS

- Ability to lock application with a password

- Ability to launch application from Dialer(so you can hide it from your app tray)

- Ability to backup call logs/sms logs to either Google Drive or Dropbox

- Ability to silently trigger actions

Support

Supports android device > API 14(Ice Cream Sandwhich)

Gmail SMS appending issue . I'm locked out . I set a number as pin in aeGis, but this is asking for a word. I did try default password "aeGis" but it isn't working either. pull the xml file and password "1234" just what I set. but this isn't working.
[Android Software Development] Decad3nce:
1234 isn't working?
[Android Software Development] Decad3nce:
So looking at your issue a bit further. Gmail SMS appends: " - youremail@gmail.com"

So your password would be: "passcode - youremail@gmail.com"

Anyways, I fixed the issue in v1.2.3 with this commit: https://github.com/Decad3nce/Aegis/commit/c116d3e0b2975d37ad0b3dabe0e79c2cb7edd7ec

password = password.replaceAll("([^.@\\s]+)(\\.[^.@\\s]+)*@([^.@\\s]+\\.)+([^.@\\s]+)", "")
.replaceAll("-+","")
.trim();

Good regex saves lives.
[Android Software Development] drraptor:
Thanks. :DI give it a try today.:fingers-crossed:If it had been a pin, the keyboard could have been dial pad. Had to wipe for the 3rd time. :silly:

so In this case it should be "1234youremail@gmail.com". And youremail should be replaced with my email add. Well it is isn't working either. I'm using ver. 1.2.3.

So anyother wipe ? :(

Is there any reason other than lack of using backward compatible API options that this doesn't work on pre ICS devices?

Despite what you may think, there are a lot of not so old devices that do not have working/reliable ICS, such as the G2X. Limiting an app to ICS at this stage is rather..... annoying.
[Android Software Development] Decad3nce:
I'm not sure that I thought anything; but, ok.

I was planning on adding backwards compat, but I wanted to keep the same theme. I'm still learning as I go, I'm sorry you find that annoying.
[Android Software Development] lotherius:
Understandable.... from what I've been playing around with in Eclipse, you can specify a different theme for older API levels. Might be something to look at if the theme is the only limitation :)
[Android Software Development] Decad3nce:
I'm switching to action bar sherlock currently, should allow backwards compatibility.

I might of overlooked this but is there a way to keep the alarm going? It sounds once really quick and vibrates but then shuts off, tested on my Galaxy Nexus and S3:o

Sorry if i overlooked a setting, and thanks for the great work:D
[Android Software Development] A2Eric:
I would like to know this as well. And how do you change the alarm notification sound? It seems to be linked to my same email notification sound. I would like to control just the alarm sound through the app, not have it affect other notifications if that makes any sense.
[Android Software Development] Decad3nce:
The alarm is meant more of a way to override your sound settings to take the device out of silent mode.

The email sound you explain is just the sound by the messaging app most likely which is your default notification sound.
[Android Software Development] Dorilife:
I get it, but i tested on both silent and regular volume modes and it sounds once, vibrates then shuts off. :o
[Android Software Development] Decad3nce:
The alarm only sounds once for like 2 seconds. I can make it sound longer?
[Android Software Development] Dorilife:
Yeah it would be helpful if it could ring for more than 2 seconds:p
