I think the xperia play will be at the end of his life at this time o,o

you should have posted this in the general discussion section, this doesn't belong to the dev section
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Yea I thought about that but the play has that one thing no other phone does ;) and with the gamepad people may get new phones but keep the play around for moding and well gaming

And well sorry
[Xperia Play General] Shaiaz:
I would keep my play forever : 3 Best phone <3
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
i think it's possible ;)

get a look here:
[Xperia Play General] ~iSamur@i:
the problem probaboly will be the storage, if it want 4-8 GB of internal we can say goodbye
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
That's true but we could get HC SD cards and miltuboot off of it with well a lot of storage
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 4932462:
It would be nice to see ubuntu in our devices, but as iSimur@i has said the biggest problem is the internal storage :)
[Xperia Play General] sdojoin:
I think u can use ext4 as a sub. Mybe u should really dig this thing up if u're sriously intrested in it.;)
[Xperia Play General] Thewonderboy:
1Ghz cortex A9 processor is alot different from our snapdragon.

+ its in different architecture (which has been hyped to be "twice as effective") which alone is enough to ditch any Xplay portting dreams.
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 4932462:
Maybe overclock is the answer ;)
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Yea I'm sure it'll be fine I watched a video about it on YouTube and they said It should work with snapdragon chipsets with 1GHz
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 4932462:
Do you think people that with ubuntu we are going to be able to play games with gamepads and touchpads? I suppose no but I'm asking because maybe someone knows more than me ;)

And here is a guide how to port Ubuntu on phones - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
thanks for the very interesting find but from my understanding this is requiring cyanogen 10.1 and by my best understanding we dont have that but we do have meany android 4.2.2 roms in progress....like slimbean, pacman and a few others are being updated to android 4.2.2 and maybe then we could get a start on Ubuntu. :)
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 4932462:
I have to correct you, at the moment we have cyanogenmod 10.1, you can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2066733 So maybe isn't a very stable rom but at the moment we have access to 4.2.1 and soon great developers such as Wedgess, CosmicDan and cj360 (and more that I can't remenber sorry:( ) will give us an upgrade to 4.2.x

With this great people our phones will never die :D
[Xperia Play General] ~iSamur@i:
IMHO it is useless, for now Ubuntu Phone (or Tablet) is only a UI running into a chrooted cyanogenmod 10.1, with the possibility to do.... nothing.

Seriously, i've tried it on my nexus 7, and you can only try the menu and say "oh", it isn't the preview of an OS, it is useful as a video preview
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
After looking more into this OS I am pretty excited about its potential.

The Android OS code needed to be translated twice because it run ontop of a Java virtual machine. And being coded in Java it is naturally a bit slow, which is why Android phone need such high specs and yet it still lags at times.

Ubuntu Mobile seems to be C++ based (as well as utillizing QML [Qt javascript] and HTML5) so it should be faster. Base on this it should be able to run better on older single core ARM cpus.

Another great thing about Ubuntu Mobile is it will use the Qt framework for GUI, Qt ofcourse is the backbone of KDE. It's great open development platform that is already popular among Linux developers, and its good that Ubuntu decided to go with it instead of creating some proprietary thing that they tend to do.

Adam Outler said he was able to install deb packages on it using apt-get, which mean it is compatible with deb packages and can get access to the huge linux (arm) package libraries. This is a huge deal meaning its a real linux OS.

All of these seem to reminiscing of the decrepit Maemo OS that had so much potential, but didn't get much notice. Ubuntu state they want to make the OS compatible with Android apps, so I'm definitely looking forward to see all the developments for this OS.

Also don't mistake Ubuntu for Android with Ubuntu Phone, they are two different thing. The former allow Ubuntu desktop to appear when its docked while the phone is running Android, this never really caught on (See: Motorola ridiculous pricing fail). Ubuntu Phone is the whole OS in the phone and potential for desktop mode when docked.
[Xperia Play General] sewer56lol:
Porting Ubuntu according to Devs of Ubuntu is done on CM10.

We need to get CM10 stable first.
[Xperia Play General] Shaiaz:
Not CM10.1?
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
Its been stable for months. Where have you been?
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
By stable he means everything working 100%.

This is not the case with CM10. At least, not in the case of the Xperia Play.
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Well everything does work except the camera
[Xperia Play General] Shaiaz:
So we are able to get ubuntu soon when someone ports it : D?
[Xperia Play General] f3w1n:
ubuntu touch is based in CM10.1 wich is 4.2.x
[Xperia Play General] :
I don't think that we are going to have ubuntu soon on our plays because at the moment we haven't got any 4.2.x stable, so maybe in some months we will have it, or maybe never. Who knows?

P.S. Im syncing CM10.1 atm. I must first get that stable. Then well see about ubuntu touch.

Well sir I suggest you make your own thread so people can thank you and you can post screenshots and bugs I'll be sure and try to donate as soon as I can
[Xperia Play General] Gladwin_Prince:
I would support the point of opening a thread.

JunDavis if you have a plan of porting ubuntu to Xperia play then open thread in The android development area for Xperia play.

With CosmicDan's Farewell to Xperia 2011 scene there seems to be no development for Xperia play.

This would encourage people to a great extent.

That would be awesome to see Ubuntu on my beloved play i know it could work but hardware limitations may really affect the full experience
[Xperia Play General] stefiCZ:
I'm completely agree with u. But as I read previous posts it's not so big problem, with good kernel u can overclock to 2Ghz stable, which is really enought for Ubuntu. Internal storage isn't problem bcs u can use scripts which makes "internal" storage on your SD card. The bigest problem can be RAM, I think 512MB isn't enought. But it's something like Windows 98 on HTC HD2....it's quite slow but u can work with it too :)

I hope that my post isn't spam :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] josuemolina2000:
Hello friends, a friend hand me a messed up locked AT&T Skyrocket flashed with the GT-I9100 Firmware for unlocked reasons.

Did not go well because some keys are not working, and else..

Android 4.0.4

Baseband I9100xxlq6

Kernel 3.0.15-I9100xwlpo-cl913058

Build number IMM76D.XWLPO

Im trying to get it back to stock, to get everything working well. I tried installing CWM with Odin and got FAIL message.

Any recommendations on how to do it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
im surprised it booted up at all, it shouldve of been hardbricked

read the sticky in my sig on returning to stock, read the whole op, espicially the troubleshooting sections.

if it doesnt work you would need a jtag repair, link in the 1stop sticky in my sig

edit: read this thread to see if it fits your situation, possible fix if returning to stock fails Odin Crashes at "Getting PIT for mapping

Im not the responsible for doing that, my friend gave it to me like that, and Im trying to fix this.. I think they used a JTag computer or something. Im also impressed it boot. I have read a lot, but Odin doesnt seem to work. Im trying from CWM now.. Will i need to install new bootloaders or ill be fine with stock modem/kernel and FW?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
Are you sure you're talking about a Skyrocket?

It sounds like you got an I777 in your hands, and Skyrocket is I727. Only I777 would even boot if flashed with I9100 build, Skyrocket would die. Triple-check it before you hard-brick the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
I agree with you.

OP

on the back battery cover is it smooth or is it textured.

Both will say galaxy s11

all of the above is true, you are lucky if it booted most people have HARD bricked from installing that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Or you could pull the battery out and check the model. lol

Yeah, sorry mates, my friend told me that it was an skyrocket and I didnt even bother to check that, its not an skyrocket, is only a SGH-I777

So what should i try now?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] shadowofdarkness:
I was giving a Iconia Tab A100 that has unusable touch response, other then that it is working. I need some way to root this or just get external devices (keyboard) to control it.

All info I found about rooting requires ADB which is not turned on.

I actually upgraded it to stock ICS by putting a update zip on a memory card and used the button combination to start the update. I also factory reset (for some reason) so it is stuck at bootup at the Android setup.

I know this won't work on this device but things I was thinking of that I have done on other broken devices (Samsung Galaxy S II) is root it from download mode then boot into the custom recovery it supplied which had adb turned by default then I had the ability to do other changes.

Would getting to that point be possible with any custom update.zip files on a memory card?

I would like to end up rooted with my Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse synced to the tablet.

I have never used this tablet when it was working to know its capabilities or any needed info on it. The touch works on about a 1% success rate. I can get it to sometimes highlight a button when pressed but it doesn't actually click it when I let off.

The best workinng part is if I open the volume box with the buttons I can then control the slider with 90% accuracy.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Update.zip is signature checked when flashed, so no, not possible. Need cwm or twrp installed to flash something else. With no touch, cwm is best.

You could attempt to flash a boot and system IMG with fast boot, that'll get you root but not with anything paired on BT.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] shadowofdarkness:
Would you have a idea where I could find suitable files to flash. I had searched for stuff like that but couldn't find them before so I must of searched with the wrong terms.

Once I have root I should be able to figure out pairing since I once read a tutorial for doing it from adb if memory serves it was for the Nexus Q)

Or I have also been able to send keypresses from a ADB shell with the right commands I could look that info up again

I am sure something would work.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well ROMs arent usually sent out as fast boot images, you'll need someone to compile a ROM for you and send the images instead.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xmetalfan99:
I was getting ready to transfer files to my sdcard on the s3 to root when my phone stopped connecting to my pc and laptop. I have the samsung drivers installed on my comp. I started having this issue after I installed the drivers. My computer and laptop see the phone and always want to install drivers from it and nothing else. Pc is XP and laptop is windows 7 64bit. I want to root my phone, but when the drivers are installed neither my pc or laptop will recognize it. What should I do?

EDIT:

I am now getting this error when driver is installed:

Unable to find software on your pc that can recognize your device. Service pack 3, windows media player, version 10 or higher, for windows xp or android file transfer for mac os must be installed.

You can download and install PC KIES from *website* in order to sync data with your device, back up data, and upgrade your device.

My PC runs service pack 3 and has windows media player 10 on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
I had a problem connecting to my PC twice since I rooted. All I did was uninstall the Samsung driver from my PC then reinstall. I rebooted after I reinstalled then connected my phone and it worked both times. I'm not sure what happens and why all of a sudden you lose it but at least it was an easy fix for me. I hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kobusestas:

I make the same post about my solution, not sure if it will work for you. I ditched all Samsung drivers and used the ones for the experia x8, it always connects now. But if you ever need to odin, you will have to install the Samsung ones. Maybe google them and see if they will work for you.

Tried all that. It happened the first day I got it, bone stock. Not a big deal, the x8 drivers get the job done.

Welcome. Already he was just asking about the same with the addition of some suggestions.The init.d directory has the opportunity to start up the concrete near the beginning of a comment, start the machine.One could initiate concrete partitions on the SD card to have played a role partition "mtd" for example / system / data / cachefrom what I noticed the kernel to jb has otherwise changed little these partitions (size).I do not know exactly how it looks with them, but if one could perform 2 partitions by mtd / system (small to perform the basic start-up and later redirects to / systemsd and the rest used as a framework or a particle cache?)

examples of partition

mtd / system (start-up)

mtd / ram (unless you know)

mmc / fat32

mmc / systemsd (the rest of the system)

mmc / data

mmc / .......

and so onthat was a minimum of 4 block

for it is our memory that was on the phone at the same time much bigger and faster (unless there think) than a swap sdanother thing that applications were loaded into the framework so that if they were around 500 + mb ram for the system to switch on only long landing and later had to speed up.I came up with this idea a bit strange when I have made applications to change fat32, after connecting the USB cable.for me my memory card is slightly odd partitions of personal reasons

Class10+ 32gb

fat32 / sdcard 26gb block1

ext4 / 4gb sd-ext Block2

swap ... 2gb block3

fat32 / sdcard2 2gb block4

mtdblock3 /data size 211mb

mayby mtdblock2 is block ram1, ram2 ..... size ~200mb

my idea is

mtdblock0 /system (basic start-up i don't know mayby 20mb-67mb)
