[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rycon33:
Even Sony is known for slow OS updates, I still prefer their very nice-looking phone over a higher-spec ugly phone LOL(looking at you Samsung). And on-screen buttons FTW.:)

But of course, all boils down to personal preference.

And btw, my TX screen display is gorgeous especially when compared side by side to my Nexus 4, when looking at the same image files I put on both. Only positive to N4 is fast update(therefore more fancy goodies), other than that, TX beats it.:D

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
The development life cycle for something as complicated as our phone is quite long. Generally the hardware gets a first run design and then the firmware guys get going on the initial prototypes. They'll use the latest base-OS version they can (normally) but don't underestimate the amount of work it is to move from one Android version to another. They won't have infinite resources!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Agree, of course. Yet I feel compelled to mention, that the korean gigant has 4.1 out since a while for devices released not that long before ours. Well, the T at least.

So while your statement still applies, relatively, Sony is describeable as slow.

Isn't the Xperia V supposed to be launched in the US with jelly bean in January?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] augie7107:
Wouldn't it be nice if Sony actually announced a date of release instead of this vague "quarter" garbage. Every other industry has deadlines. Set it, meet it and customers would rejoice.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
They can't because of the regions. They could do that for the US, for example, but aside that Sony has got a LOT of different customizations to prepare, and it's completely impossible to do all of them at the same time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] papped:
A lot of mobile companies use generic deadlines for the same type of upgrades... It's very, very common.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] augie7107:
I understand the facts posted here and by the above post but I have been using Sony (Ericsson) devices for ten years and their rollout of an upgrade is always late and drama filled. Poor communication, staggered releases and no change logs just complicate the process and alienate customers.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] papped:
Which SE no longer applies....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] augie7107:
So your assumption is that Sony's takeover will eradicate the existing update rollout issues? I'm afraid that is quite naive. I owned the Xperia S prior to this device, which was a "Sony" device, and watched the upgrade take six months to complete and some regions still don't have 4.0.4.

In any event, best wishes for a happy holiday season to all.

Hi Guys,

This is my 1st thread to guide you to correct resource rather as many of us have struggled to root the AtT ICS version ROMs.

I was on leaked iCS v18f installed immediately when available, struggled hard to root it.. Tsparky, Doomlord, SuperOneClick, manual root,. No go for more than a couple of months.. Found the Bin4ry root method: :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

Worked in 1st attempt.

Thought it should work on V20c as well,, upgraded to v20c.. rooted in 1st attempt again (no surprise there)

UI is smooth as silk and response is awesome..

Right now Rooted, no-frills CPU, ADW Launcher Ex and Network Selection Tweak by -ReaL-. (as the *#*#4636#*#* code to choose network selection is removed on V20c) THANKS A LOT..

Doesnt work

I tried the method provided, and i followed the instructions and no luck for me with my LG nitro, with stock ICS on it
[LG Nitro HD] reddevil_sen:
Device detection

Make sure USB Debugging under "Development section" and Unknown Sources under "Security" are selected.

Launch the "command prompt" as Administrator. Make sure it lists your mobile phone when you run the command "stuff\adb devices" U r good to go..

If it doesn't, then the drivers are not installed properly, check in Device Manager there are no unknown devices or devices with yellow exclamation marks etc.. Make sure drivers are installed properly. The above condition should be met to root your device.

Please go through the video tutorial in the link attached for Bin4ary root method

CWM wont work on ICS for now

Yes, u r right,, CWM does not run on ICS, either V18f, V20(X) versions.. it would cause issues if u try CWM on ICS.. hence we have so many guides to go back to Stock GB, install CWM and install Custom ROMs, kernels etc

once I got 10F.KDZ flashed, I ran SuperOneClick 2.3.2 to get root (make sure USB Debugging and Unknown Sources are checked and also make sure your computer has Microsoft's .NET 3.5 installed, I ran into a problem getting SuperOneClick to run without it) once rooted, I was able to side load an updated GooglePlay.apk, then downloaded ROM Manager, rebooted into recovery. I did discover that the current recovery cannot see SDCards larger than 2 Gigs, because it could not detect my 16 Gig card. So I used a 1 GIg card with CyanogenMod 10.0.0-P930.zip, did a wipe of all the partitions and Dalvik Cache. then installed CM10. After CM10 installed I flashed the AT&T baseband back into the phone using ADB. My Nitro looks awesome now. Had to download the latest gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and flashed with ROM Manager. One last thing once CWM Recovery is flashed to your phone, to get into it manually, simply hold the volume down + power until you see the screen asking you if you want to factory reset, click the power button confirming, instead of hard reset it will load CWM Recovery.:good:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimbogiant:
I have a Nexus 4, running CM10.1 and Faux123's latest kernel. I want to use an init.d script to set the governor, tuneables, and other things instead of an app (all of the apps I've tried have an issue with permissions/settings not sticking, plus I take any opportunity to eliminate 3d party apps when possible).

Running into some issues getting this to work right, hoping someone can help --

My init.d script successfully applies the following on boot: stop mpdecision, choose FIOPS as the I/O scheduler, put the GPU clock max at 400 mHz. However, any commands I have in the script that are related to the CPU governor, parameters, and eco mode/snake charmer do not work.

I thought I had put my script (named "userinit.sh", placed in /data/local) in the wrong place or something, but like I said it successfully stops mpdecision on boot, sets the i/o to FIOPS and makes the read-ahead 2048kb, and sets the GPU max to 400 mHz -- none of the other commands work though. Any ideas?

Running Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightlies with 002b6 faux kernel. I've also set the permissions of the file to 755 (rwxr-xr-x), is that right?

My script looks like this (the ones in green work fine, the rest in red don't work):

#!/system/bin/sh

su

stop mpdecision

echo "intellidemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/scaling_governor

echo 594000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/scaling_min_freq

echo 1350000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/scaling_max_freq

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/intellidemand/eco_mode

echo 1350000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/intellidemand/lmf_active_max_freq

echo 1026000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/intellidemand/lmf_inactive_max_freq

echo 1350000 > /sys/kernel/msm_cpufreq_limit/cpufreq_limit

echo "fiops" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler

echo 2048 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb

echo 400000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk

I would love any advice on what steps I need to take to get this working correctly, as well as any info about init.d scripts generally, I threw this one together after some Googling but who knows if its even in the right format. Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danman7:
I'm having no luck importing a self-signed root CA into my VZW Galaxy Nexus. (Or Nexus 7) for that matter. I'm running 4.2.1, and wonder if that is part of the issue. I have gone through importing it from SD storage, and it says it successfully imports, but it never appears. I've tried importing it with a web browser and it says it successfully imports, but never appears. It seems that nothing I can do gives me the ability to import a cert.

Has anyone else run up on this situation? The two devices aren't even running the same ROM, but are suffering from the same problem.

Without the cert, I can't get through my company's web content filter, so it's pretty important.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Red_Kop:
Got a brand spanking new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.

It's going to be used by multiple people, including kids, so multiple user profiles would be a perfect feature for me.

So...here are my options:

1. Root the tab and install 'SwitchMe' from the app store.

2. Install a 4.2 JB Rom

3. Wait it out for an official 4.2 JB update?

So here's the dilemma:

1. People say SwitchMe can ruin your device by creating boot loops and such? True?

2. What features will I lose in a custom rom? People saying a lot of things don't work and they are unstable. Plus connectivity with my Samsung TV is a must.

3. Will an official 4.2 ever happen? Considering we only just got 4.1, I have my doubts.

Thoughts?

Thank you.

[Q] - about the recent "Exynos" exploit - I've "read" it's a kernel problem,

But is it just a virgin Sammy kernel problem, or are custom kernels eg Philz, or Siyah affected too ?

[Edit] Title should have read "Exynos-exploit-free kernels"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
The exploit is present on exynos devices like the s2,s3 note2, it's a exploit present in samsung stock kernels which enables rooting without flashing via Odin, this exploit gives read /write access to all memory and even the kernel, i think a user named Alphzain(i dont remember his exact spelling) found this exploit in his s3,there is also a patch which fixes this by modifying the write permission but the camera app gets problems, so major threat is kernel injection from unknown apps, i am not sure about custom kernels though, we are after all rooting to get read/write access to all our memory but kernel access I am not sure, will search and post if i find anything.

Edit : Chainfire released an app which will root your phone exploiting this exploit (duh!!!) and it also enables and disables the exploit

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050297

Guess what!! rooting via an apk.. Lol..

Even though this is a really dangerous exploit, noobs can take advantage of this to root their phone with chainfire's app in the above link as you can root your phone without performing any flash via Odin. And if you disable the exploit you will cripple your camera app. So if you want to use your camera you will have to re enable the exploit.

Edit :SOME Gingerbread versions are confirmed to not have the exploit, the real main danger of this exploit is that if an app needs root it can gain it without asking us(via SuperSu or Super User) permission for root access. I don't think custom built kernels will have such an exploit and you must ask the dev of your kernel of choice,anyway we can safely assume that samsung based kernels can have the same problem.

Edit : Camera doesn't always get crippled for example Neat Rom(leaked stock JB) camera app doesn't have any problems with exploit disabled.

Hi I need someone with a UK GT-I9305 to do me a favour.

I have a UK GT-I9305 from EE-UK and I need someone to be kind enough to check some NV Item values for me.

To do this you need to locate your QPST installation folder.

This can normally be found at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin"

Then find and start: "RF_NV_Manager.exe" (This cannot be accessed from the start menu.)

Now select the "Setting" menu then "Comport", select your connected device from the list and press "OK".

Now select the "File" menu then "Read From Phone".

Now scroll down the list to the following NV Items:

- 1347 (NV_WCDMA_PA_GAIN_UP_TIME_I)

- 1348 (NV_WCDMA_PA_GAIN_DOWN_TIME_I)
