I don't think you need your boatloader to be unlock to flash a FW. All you need to do is root the phone. I've been flashing FW with my phone and my boatloader is still locked.

Capacitive Buttons Light

To acro S users, how can i have my capacitive buttons light up everytime the screen is on?

The capacitive buttons on mine just light up randomly.

Or just when i'm running certain apps (which i don't keep in mind - 'cause i use a lot of apps).

Anyone? TIA! :)

The light on my capacitive buttons are too dim (almost off) when brightness is set to 25% - what i always use (my preference).

[MENTION=5083591]Kray Nix[/MENTION] This is a good question... to anyone who wanted to customize your capacitive light's brightness...

follow these:

• open root explorer

• make sure your in write mode

• navigate to /sys/class/leds/button-backlight

• tap "brightness"

• open with TEXT EDITOR

• enter the value 0-200..

• tap menu button,.. save changes... you'll see the changes immediately.

(try 0 and save, it works)

Now, you can customize it's brightness, indoor and outdoors.. :)

Hey guys, I'm a filipino also. hehe, and i just got my Xperia S.

anyway, one thing that bothers me after messing around with it a bit, I'm not sure if I made a mistake or it's just normal, but core 01 sometimes loads up to 90+%, but core 02 is still idle @ 0%. core 02 loads sometimes, it's just that i usually see core 01 more active and most of the time it seems like core01 is doing everything on its own and the core 02 just hangs out there relaxing doing nothing.

did i do something wrong or is it a battery saving feature?

and do you guys also know if it's possible that the illumination light, at the bottom in the see through glass, can be set to activate via the proximity sensor. so that if the ambient light is bright, it stay off, and when it's dark, it will light up continuously rather than just light up when you press one of the 3 sensors and the volume up and down button.;)

Hi everyone!

I just want to ask something about warranties, will it cover screen protector replacement? I was kinda dumb not to put any screen protector on top of the anti-shatter screen protector. Now my screen has lots of scratches. I wanted to remove it but I read somewhere that it will invalidate the warranty, so removal is a no-go.

If warranties don't cover the replacement, how much will it cost? Has anyone done this before?

Also, I'm planning on selling my XS and upgrade to a XZ (or the rumored Honami), how much does a second hand XS fare nowadays? Is it worth selling, do I just give it to my sister, or do I keep it as a secondary phone?

Maraming salamat!

P.S.

How do you give "thanks" in here anyway?

or this:

MIUI v5: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2241162

Anyway, if I choose the Cyanogenmod, there's a requirement there that i don't fully understand. It's where it says:

Requirements

- Xperia Ion

- Unlocked Bootloader

:confused:- FXP Kernel or Any Kernel That Supports CM10 (FXP Default Kernel Already Included):confused:

Now, my question is.. Do I have to worry about that FXP Kernel or do I just have to download the ROM flash it using CWM? I don't want to soft-brick my phone again. Thanks!:D:angel::)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
mods always tell members not to compare ROMs with one another because every ROM is unique in its own way..just go ahead and try them :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mik_1995xp:
It basically says that you have to have an FXP kernel installed to your phone, or any other kernels that supports CM10. I suggest that you use FXP since it says that FXP is the default kernel for CM10.

HTH. =D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CXP2:
Gotcha! Thanks!

Well, it says that "(FXP Default Kernel Already Included)". Do I still need to install it? Where can I get this FXP?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mik_1995xp:
yes. kernels are installed seperately to ROMs. so you have to install the kernel first before installing the ROM. :) But it seems that they did not include the kernel in the download section. maybe.... It's already in the package. I guess the kernel is already in .zip file of the rom, cause if it isn't, they should've provided a link for the kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
In FXP what they meant is: if youre coming from a stock kernel then you need to extract the FXP CM kernel from the ROM zip file, and then flash it through fastboot mode. Like:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

then reboot to recovery full wipe, install FXP ROM, GApps, factory reset then reboot. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mik_1995xp:
Is that how they do it in CM? cause when you install a rom via CWM, normally you leave the file in .zip format. so in CM, you still have to extract the rom, to flash the kernel with fastboot? haha maybe it's easier to flash the ROM via fastboot then in CM, saves time copying it to memory.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Nope, it's much easier to flash a kernel when it's in .zip mode unlike the one that I explained awhile ago. Those were the "Old School" days of flashing kernels, you need to extract the boot.img first from the rom then flash it through fastboot, unlike nowadays you can just look for a CM based kernel that is flashable via CWM and then you're good to go with your CM based ROM. If you want to flash a ROM via fastboot, you may want to look for the data.img file and the system.img and of course the boot.img, but that's the old habits, all are in .zip form now. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mik_1995xp:
yeah! I remember now, there should be a forum dedicated for the list of kernels/roms/etc right. then CX2 can just get the kernel in there that works with CM so that he doesn't need to bother extracting the rom.zip file anymore. easier that way I guess. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Yup. :)

Hello Pinoys!

Just bought a second hand Xperia SL as a gift for my girlfriend. Now my problem is the bootloader is unlocked and there is clockwork recovery onit.

I want to return it to stock firmware so she can receive official updates from Sony. But I am totally clueless on where to start.

Can someone pls tell me what to do or at least give me links? I would greatly appreciate any help. Salamat po!

I am also thinking of leaving the unlock bootloader alone and just update the phone via flash tool when official jelly bean arrives. Will that work?

And last question. Will ftf files for xperia S works on xperia SL?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Yup that'll work if you want to use.flaah tool to glaah offivial stock firmwares. And for your first question about the recovery, if your phone is rooted already, try to download goo.im then go to it's settings and look for install open script rexovery, after inatalling try to check if it's successful by rebooting into recovery. ;)

Just wondering -- I'm on a CM10 for Xperia (Free Xperia) ROM right now, but I plan to revert to the ICS stock ROM as I'm getting stability issues with my current installation. Should I revert to the ICS stock ROM, when the JB ROM gets released, will it get the OTA update? Or will I have to manually install the JB update?

This will determine whether I should hold out until the end of the month when JB gets released (according to news). TIA :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
As long it is the official stock ICS ROM, yes you'll receive your update.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CXP2:
And a locked bootloader. Am i right?

Anyway, going back to where I left off, I'm also planning to revert back to stock ICS. What's the difference between the 3.7 and 2.68 ICS aside from the obvous that 3.7 is the latest for the LT28H. I read that you can flash the 3.7 FW to the LT28i and then flash the 2.68(with the options unticked and excluding baseband) to get LTE. Is the 3.7 more "tweaked"? Or does it have more updated features?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
I'm not quite sure regarding that since I'm using an XS not an ION. Try checking other threads that has that topic and you might get some answers there. But, if there is a proof that it works, then go ahead and flash it, just be careful and read first before you do it. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CXP2:
Funny thing just happened. I was waiting to fnish downloading the 3.7 FW and decided to flash the stock 2.68 ICS. And as soon as the download finishes update center alerted me that 3.7 is now available to install! took me an hour to download the FW and it took update center a minute to update my phone! what a waste of time! anyway time to check out the fw and removed some extra unnecessary apps.(facepalm)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mik_1995xp:
quite an adventure you had. hehehe :))
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
That's why it only took a minute, coz it did not download a whole ROM, it only downloaded patches for the current ROM that you have to be updated to the latest one. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CXP2:
And the patch's only 14Mb. Still checking what was updated. And looking on how to root it.

:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
It'll be easy to root as long you're bootloader is unlocked. Just look for a kernel that has root and is stock then flash it via fastboot then you're rooted. Just be careful about picking the kernel, read before you flash. And do that if and only if you have an unlocked bootloader. But since you flashed the Official FW via flashtool then your bootloader is most likely unlocked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CXP2:
That's the plan. I'll have to unlock my bootloader once I'm done researching for the right kernel.
