[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
I installed perseus and OCed my GPU and undervolted. Just to make sure there is no thermal throttling I reduced CPU speed to 1200. My results are in the picture. They both are 19.

What I wonder is why there is no difference between 720p screen on and 1080p screen off performances? When I check the Adreno 320s results they vary 50% between 1080p and 720p. This is how it is supposed to be considering there are almost twice more pixels to run on the 1080p resolution. Is there any bottle neck for Mali 400? Maybe driver or memory bandwidth related?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
So yea I've rooted my Xperia Neo and want to install a custom ROM but I cant enter recovery,

I've tried:

- Quick Boot (Via playstore)

- ROM Manager

- Tried all the button-pressing combinations

- ADB + SDK

But nothing works... and I'm at my wits' end... :crying::crying::crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Did you try reading the stickies..

There is no default recovery on stock, flash a custom kernel or install cwm yourself, the how to for both is in the stickies
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Try X parts from play store! Select your device!

Install cwm.... Voila you enter

Recovery mode!

Flash Roms and enjoy!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DarkStryder:
have you unlock bootloader?

well if you have installed cwm correctly restart your device and when the sony logo come uu.if u have installed correctly you will notice the screen get brighter for 2 sec aprox. when it gets bright press all 3 buttons and hold and it should go in to cwm.

if ive helped press thanks!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
I've tried X-parts and it doesnt bring me to recovery.

I've checked with Root Checker and it verifies that my device is Rooted properly.

I'm not sure if I've unlocked the bootloader, I tried unlocking it via the steps in the sony ericsson help website and when I use SDK cmd it doesnt recognize 'bootloader.exe' or 'bootloader' or 'fastboot' as a command.

When you say all 3 buttons, which buttons do you specifically mean? - power, vol +, vol -?

BTW, just as a reminder, my phone is Rooted with SU and Rom Manager installed.

I've googled for hours and reading threads - but it's still super difficult for me.

I tried SDK, and it went as far as recognizing my device in fastboot mode.

Try CWM installation guide given in the above thread....its a command script... after u extract the zip ..read the instructions carefully..

After installation reboot and keep pressing the volume button down to enter recovery.... this method always works for me..

Goodluck...;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
it is worth noting that my bootloader is still LOCKED (ASSUMINGLY - because I havent unlocked it), AND ALSO that my phone is rooted, I only need to go to recovery.

Question:

Can I still flash/boot custom ROM WITH the BOOTLOADER LOCKED?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DarkStryder:
if u have installed cwm correcly do as i said. the buttons are back,home,menu buttons. but this is only if u have stock rom and kernel, if u hace custom kenel then it is volume down lots of time until it boots cwm

hope i helped.

u have a thanks button and dont no what to do with it??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
I'd use the thanks button when I deem it fit.

Because my problems not solved yet, I can't install the ADB drvers. and my laptop detects my phone as it's name , not as 'other device'.

So I can't install the ADB files hence nothing works.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
When u tried xParts..did it say Instal Complete??

Did u try the Alternate CWM in xParts??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
yeaps. Tried it all...

I tried every method that I know, even ADB but all to no avail - either no end product or stuck halfway...

This is really stressing me out
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DarkStryder:
if it recognizes as xperia neo v that because its on mtp mode not msc

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

-make sure phone is in usb debbuging

-activate unknown sources

- go to this page and download cwm for stock rom

http://www.mediafire.com/?73xv18tht0e8zt4

- download and extract

-doble click on cwm1 wich is for neo v

-follow instuctions on screen

-once installed restart and press the button i said!!

i hope this help if u have any questions dont hesitate to ask this is the method i used.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
For 5.5.0.4..u need to keep taping the screen when u see the Sony logo nd blue led..

For 5.0.2.7..keep pressing volume down..

Check if chargermon and recovery.tar are in system/bin

and sh in system/xbin..

did what i say work?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
1) When I turn on the phone, the LED doesnt light up -

at all

2) I tried moving those files mentioned but it says it's only 'read only' and I have no idea how to change it to read and write. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
Hold your horses, I know you're dying for a 'THANKS'.

And I am appreciative of your help (even if I havent got my ideal outcome).

Note: This is NOT my phone, it is a friend's. So I have limited time with it and only can try methods on alternate days. So I hope you are patient with the THANKS button - you will get a thanks from me once it is done. :o:good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Did you try using root explorer?in it,there's an option on top right to change it to read and write instead of Read only!

Try that,maybe that could help!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
I used rootexplorer.

I will try that tomorrow.

Thanks for your input - if it works, then a thanks will be given
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
Your gonna hit thanks when it works??!! Ok dude..lemme be super clear bout this...we are not tryin to help you coz u'll hit that lousy thanks button..not me not Ghostfreak..we r only doin it coz we wanna help..

I would prefer you not hittin it for me..nd please google GRATITUDE..:thumbdown:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Agree with Lone Wanderer!

I'm not doin this for your THANKS at all !

I'm just trying to help you figure out what could have gone wrong and what could solve the issue! That's all !

I don't Need it and am not dying for it!

"A thanks will be given " what's this? This kinda tone is not appreciated be it the best of the member!

Also a suggestion :

I'd expect, (in general,not just this case)

Please avoid writing comments that won't do any good to you or helper! Better if you edit it....

Just think,what if No one cared for your issue and bothered to help or post a reply?

I hope you're gettin my point and take it in a constructive way!

Good luck n hope your issue gets solved soon!

I don't need a thanks for this if it works! Just post whether it worked or not!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
First drop the attitude it helps nobody.

Second on locked bl the led doesn't light, just tap the screen repeatedly when you see the sony Ericsson logo if you used the default cwm from xparts.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
Jesus Christ you're a touchy one arent ya?

I didn't even imply that you or Ghostfreak are after 'thanks'.

I just say I'll thank you if it works.

Why some people like you find the need to view things in a negative light bemuses me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
If you people bothered to read the comments properly, you'd realize that mitchellereece has been bugging for me to press the thanks button.

And again, in no way did I mention that you were after 'thanks'.

It's not my fault you view it negatively.

And also, there's barely any tone in writing - so every 'attitude' that you think is purely on your own perspective and assumption.

I dont mean to offend anyone, let alone senior members, but I dont see any wrong that I've done.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
Yup..im a supertouchy one..last time someone wrote lonewanderer instead of LoneWanderer..I buried him so deep into the ground..that the heat from the core of this planet incinerated his sorry a$$(yes it's a dialog from a movie :good: )

And the fact is that people like me dont view things in a negative light..but when people like you write things like "If it works then a thanks will be given"... Makes us look like we helpin you for "Thanks"

It's like when an employer says that hes gonna give the employee a bonus when the employee does a good job.. Or its like when you pat your dog and say good boy!!

Anyways I would like to end this right here..hope you get your problem solved..nd yes do thank him/her...PEACE!!

And this time Google Temp Earths Core.. ;)

Edit: Exactly...since there is barely any tone in writin..you need to careful of what you write..cause even though we perceive the world in the way we want to, thy words also influence..and God bless the dude who invented emoticons..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikeshashimi:
anywho...

my friend updated the system the other day and is now at .587, and the phone is NOT rooted anymore.

Tried rooting it again via .562 - Doomlord'sTool twice but still nothing happens - phone remains unrooted.

So I guess this is where I give up...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
So what's the error while trying DoomLord's kit?

Anyways to give up or not,is upon you! We're just here to solve the issue people face!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Aww come on people...

562 has never been rootable read the sticky....

Edit,:- as you can't read sarcasm.

Point is follow the stickies they work

Dele..Wait for it...Ted!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Erm :confused: yes it is.

4.1.A.0.562 is only ICS directly rootable. All others are rooted by using kernel from 4.1.A.0.562.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DarkStryder:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119 heres how to root

just flash kernel older kernel root than re flash 587 kernel

Really I never knew......

I've edited my original post as clearly sarcasm is lost in text.

That's what I was wondering why you said so.... Considering you as a respectable member!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
Ive never used TWRP before , is there any advantage over cwm ? Im comfortable with cwm , but like to try other platforms , on my acer a500 I have used Amon-Ra's touch recovery and Thor's cwm , also cwm on the note , but never twrp, couldnt get twrp to work on the a500 , not really sure about the note or if theres a reason to even try!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
I personally prefer TWRP over CWM. It has some advantages to it which you will find quickly when using and also backups don't take as long.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
really , I was wondering about that , but what about custom roms , can they interfere with the backup process im using blackstar xi and love it! Can I just run the open script in goo manager to set it up? What happenes to cwm (written over or what), I dont suppose those old back up will work afterwards huh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Correct ...

Your previous recovery image is overwritten with a new one.

And prior backups are not seen by the new recovery. At least, when using CWM recovery, the device will not see or utilize a TWRP backup.

And I'm quite sure the opposite is also true.

I actually prefer this, as I'm sure combining restore and backup methods would lead to some ugly partition rebuilding...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
I couldnt get goo manager to work , so I just used the .zip install method and it works really good , I would like to know something else ,maybe you can help , I would like to know how to use all the functions available in twrp and what they are used for , obviously I know a little as its simialr to cwm , but I would like to know if there is a tutorial on how to use all the functions. if you know how and had the time could you list them ?

In the original development thread go to the TWRP thread. You can ask over there.

I made a small home button launcher replacement, mainly for myself to overcome my new note 2 'bulkiness' when it comes to switch tasks quickly. Give it a try and let me know if you found it useful.

Google play download: HomeFlip
[Android Apps and Games] feroxxx:
very useful app. thanks for sharing.

an idea from me: add a swipe option for opening the app. for ex. horizontal swipe open up the HomeFlip.
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:

Noted, but this will require a background service so it will have to be optional, I like to keep thing lightweight (my daughter use my old Nexus S...)

I do like the app.. I'm not sure if i'm missing something but I have an alternate launcher for my home screen, it seems that it defaults to that. Can i change the default home screen homeflip takes me to after its activated?
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
Your not missing anything, this is a oversight from my part, I should have known that the xda crowd was likely to have at least one custom launcher in addition of the stock one installed!.

Thanks for the feedback, will fix this soon.

Verry handy, great app
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
This is really nice of you.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] redguardsoldier:
Thank you very much for making this app. It's nice and light. I tried it, but I will have to wait till the option to choose "default" launcher available to install it again :highfive:.

And is there anyway that I could replace the default recent apps with your app :D? I have a button for recent apps, but it takes age to load :(
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
The support for fallback launcher selection should be available latter this week, I'll post the update info's on this thread, so keep watching.

It depend on the ROM you are running, most stock Android will popup the task manager when pressing Home for few seconds, HomeFlip should preserve this behavior by default.

I'll check CM9 (this is what you are running right ?) internals to see if there is a way to hijack this, but keep in mind that I try to keep HomeFlip as non-invasive as possible, so any features that require additional permissions or dirty tricks is a no go for me, Respect peoples phone is my policy :)

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] redguardsoldier:
I know the long-press home action, and of course, I don't like it :D. I have a cheap and weak phone (HTC explorer), so your animation seem a bit laggy :p. I have a dedicated button for recent apps, but it take about 1-1.5 second to load :(. So go to home and tap app icon is even faster than using the recent apps menu :p.

Looking for the update :D. By the way, the apk size is tiny, but cached process need 10MB, is that normal :confused:?
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
You can disable the animation from settings (context menu).

HomeFlip to not not cache anything by itself, but it is possible that the OS itself cache information (i.e. icons), I'll have a look.

Anyway, Android is getting good at managing memory itself, the times where you had to manually kill tasks are hopefully over.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
HomeFlip 1.01 available now.

@above How did you get to the settings on your nexus?
[Android Apps and Games] benwalburn:
any chance you could tweak the appearance for the favorite apps? Not a fan of seeing them stretched across the screen. I was thinking they would look good if they were much smaller and came out from the right (like slightly more than the app icon)

I'd also like to kill apps with this, but that's not a big deal at all.

I'm tempted to install an app drawer and use this as my only launcher...

Unfortunately this would require additional permissions, so this is a no go, HomeFlip will stay small, simple and non-intrusive.

I've disable my lock-screen and use HomeFlip as my only launcher, this is quite handy on Galaxy Note 2 / S3 as the central hardware button act both as Home key and power on.

[Android Apps and Games] benwalburn:
I open Google Talk, then back out of it back to my launcher. Then I tap home to bring up your launcher and choose Talk, and a message comes up saying "failed to launch task"

Actually, it seems to only do that with Google Talk, and it isn't launching at all, regardless of how I left the app. It did it with another app and I assumed it was because I backed out.

Very nicely done. Simple, clean, and it works well. Bravo! I'd suggest allowing for reordering via hold+drag of all tasks, or at least favorited ones. Thanks, and keep up the awesome work!
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
Tasks are currently presented bottom-up / most recent first, this behavior is fine for non-favorite tasks. But I agree that for favorites, it could be nice to allow users to override the default ordering, one more item for my to do-list.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
I couldn't reproduce your issue on a Galaxy tab 10.1 stock, could it be that you have any other app that could interfere, say some other launcher hijacking the bottom-right corner of the screen ?
