That might be true for those of us who check xda regularly, but not everyone enjoys the modding process. I would suggest offering a choice between stock or a rom. I have no clue how this will affect the selling price since some people might not care and might just skip over your phone for an easier option.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neonomis:
Hi there.

I believe this is my first post, however I have been reading the xda forums for over a year.

I'm after some advice regarding my device Xperia Neo MT15i. I upgraded to ICS but it doesn't seem to work very well on my phone, ever since then I have been trying to find working ftf files of gingerbread so i can downgrade. I have downloaded a few global versions through these forums but none seem to work in flashtool 0.9.10.1 , where the list of files should be it's just blank. With the file list being blank, is that a flashtool problem, or just broken files?

Last night I found a newly updated thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952333 with a version .42 file that actually works in flashtool, however it's a chinese version and a separate global kernel. The problem I now have is that google app store doesn't recognise my phone , or isn't communicating so I can't get any apps. There's no google store app, or google mail or anything in this version. The only way I can get to the app store is via phone or pc browser but trying to install apps does nothing, the apps I want say they are already installed or greyed out.

Basically the chinese gingerbread ftf renders my phone pretty much useless, so is there a working global ftf version of gingerbread still in existence?

Yup its compatible!

You can just flash the Neo kernel later on over this fw

[HTC One X] superdon:
Hi all,

Just moved over to the One X from a Desire HD where I had been running Leedroids custom ROMs.

Am loving the One X, but feel I should get another custom ROM on it to make the most of it. Was think of going with Android Revolution.

Anyway.....

I have forgotten the process involved and have tried unsucessfuly to find a 'how to' from scratch. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

At the moment my software info on the phone is as follows....

Android Version 4.1.1

HTC Sense Version 4+

Software number 3.14.401.31

HTC SDK API level 4.63

HTC Extension version HTCExtension_Sense45_1

Kernel Version

3.10-g9fb8f80

Baseband version 5.1204.162.29

Build number 3.14.401.31 C:128187 release-keys

I want to be sure I am ok to custom ROM and also can I backup what I have now, so I can restore back to stock should I need to send it back.

Its on the 02 network, but its unbranded and I think unlocked?

Try this out.

Before that , hold power button and volume down button ( dont leave) for about 15 secs until a white screen with small letters shows up.

On the top either unlocked or locked should be written. Only proceed to install rom if you are unlocked.

If you are locked try this tool to unlock first

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Check your hboot of its unlocked, hold the power button and the volume - button together until you are in the bootloader. It says on the top if its locked or unlocked. If its unlocked you can proceed

Then you need to learn fastboot commands, if you did not learn it already.

With the fastboot commands you have to flash a custom recovery and with that custom recovery you can make a nandroid backup of the stock rom. After that you can install custom roms.

Always keep in mind that you have to flash the boot.img (kernel) separate with fastboot commands to the phone and install the rom.zip from recovery
[HTC One X] superdon:
Cheers. It seems its locked. So, I will get it unlocked by 02 before I carry on.

On the tutorial link, I presume I follow the 'For Users Using Sense 4.1' instuctions?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Mate, SIM unlocking is not the case here. You need to unlock the bootloader. :D
[HTC One X] superdon:
Ah, like S-OFF? Getting myself confused as I have four phones in front of me here and trying to sort them all out!

Thanks.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
There is currently no way for us to S-OFF our device. But unlocking the bootloader does a similar thing - it makes us capable of flashing stuff by allowing us to write some partitions that would otherwise be read only.
[HTC One X] superdon:
OK, so I folow the two links that {< r o N o $ provided.

At what point and how do I create a backup of the stock system? Is there a tutorial for that?
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Listen:

NAND Backup straight away. (From Pure stock)

Goto HTCDev

Unlock Bootloader

Install SuperSU(this makes root)

Your now unlocked and rooted.

Find custom ROM.

Flash the custom ROM.

Flash the Boot.img

Wipe Cache/Dalvik.

Boot :)
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Eh, how does he do a nandroid backup without unlocking bootloader first?? :eek:

And why would you root and then install a rooted custom ROM? LOL

More like this:

Goto HTCDev

Unlock Bootloader

Install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)

NAND Backup straight away. (From Pure stock)

COPY STOCK BACKUP TO PC

Find custom ROM.

WIPE

Flash the custom ROM.

Flash the Boot.img

Wipe Cache/Dalvik.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
1) Interesting post. You might have a future in writting.

2) Huh?

3) Kinda long winded. Couldn't read it all.

4) Huh???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I'm not going to dis-agree with your analogies regarding the SD card, and it's possibly being damaged by particular roms/builds.

I too, have suffered 2 SD card failures since running custom builds, and in particular, the JB builds.

I've not yet isolated the cause of course, but it seems that some pieces of code are likely messing up the file structure when the card is being written.

However, it is also quite possible, that the rom itself is not the issue, As many applications have the same ability in messing up the card, and it's read/write access.

We may never know what the cause is, unless folks are willing to disect the build down to the base level, an eliminate each and every application that runs to the external SD.

No doubt a long and painful activity.

Also, I've not had any more issues..(4 months) using (cough...not sandisk) other cards, and at least class 8 or higher.

I'm also running an AOSP/JB build. (thank you Flappjaxxx)....

So I really can't say what may cause the issue, but I know it certainly exists, as I can confirm your findings as well.

Perhaps a skilled Dev. or another person, much more skilled than myself will crack the mystery one day. But for now, I suggest a good quality card, in a class 8-10, and if the card gives you trouble, then try another brand.

I know these cards are mass produced, and vary greatly in quality. Good luck in your quest Sir.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Yes! Exactly my thinking...I can't realistically even make a guesstimate at this point. Is it tied to reboots during disk access? A certain program I'm using? Themes? Etc.

But I can say that it happens exponentially more often with my AOSP runs. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. So I say "it happens more often" to be conservative--it hasn't happened to me on a stock ROM, and I don't remember it even happening on a stock-based ROM. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, amirite? Maybe it's the infinitely configurable nature and availability of AOSP customizations, mixed with my infinitely-satisfied-for-just-a-day-or-two behaviors, that's causing this-- primarily due to my tinkering.

Donald Rumsfeld had it right...the things we know we know, the things we know we don't know, the things we don't know we don't know....jeeze.

And equally, the versatility, and the sheer force of diversity, will probably ensure we never nail something down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
My guess would be the lack of a certain piece of code. Something that protects, or at least improves and stabilizes the write process.

Since we are dealing with the AOSP buids here, we lack the code added by carriers prior to device shipment, and certainly the testing of those builds.

AOSP is simply raw android, and ported to our devices by a number of means. One can only surmise, that a potential flaw may exist in the transfer proccess. (Maybe)

We may never know the cause, but it certainly is worth looking into further, given the costs associated with SD cards in general, and the amount of important data that they can store.

I know it's painful, to rely on a simple card that stores photos of families etc....Being lost and impossible to recover.

We have become dependent on our devices for support. And when a failure occurs, I suggest a backup plan, by leaving nothing on a simple card, we are not willing to be without.

Backups, and storage to other areas is really quite mandatory.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CB620:
I fried one of mine recently by using Dark Side Super Wipe. Nobody believed me lol.

But I'm good with just the internal memory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
As mentioned above.....what we know, we dont know.....LOL

It is "WITHOUT QUESTION"...possible for a script to reach the SD card, and kill it.

Not that it's a common occurence, but without a doubt it can happen.

I wish my skill set regarding the file structure of android was a bit better, so I could look deeper into these issues.

But my old brain gets too hurting over this stuff...LOL.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Titanium Media Sync would be a worthy solution, were it able to write over Samba. I could just mirror everything over to my NAS. For now, drop box will have to do. With a paltry 6Mbps up, it could take days to reach the initial parity.

so here is the link

hope you`ll help to do our device better
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
How about this...set up a kickstarter campaign to buy a device, then post to the CM community and see who will take it to help you out? You are acting like the CM team is some corporation ignoring the will of their customers. They are independent enthusiasts, most who develop for their own phones or similar and in the process help contribute to the community. Without a device, your petition is useless.
[HTC One S] bilal_liberty:
if every villec2 owners agrees to donate little, we can gather the amount to buy HTc one s which will then be donated to someone who is a dev and is willing to port cm 10, cm10.1, aosp 4.2.1 etc after buying it.
[HTC One S] vetalko000:
how to do organize all this??

If you going down that road best find a dev first who would be willing to do it if you got hold of a phone.

As I already wrote, I requested kernel sources for 4.1.1. series of roms for One S S3 based on 3.4.1.0 kernel on htcdev. They say that they are on schedule to release it eventually.

Better is to wait for those kernel sources than to port Sensation's kernel. Port is always a port.

Still not bad but ya getting CM10 working would be better and might have an idea for the camera but leave that in till got the rom up and running.

we should start the process of porting cm 10 and open a seperate thread to discuss its process, any problems that would occur would be known by logcat and would be resolved by discussion with devs, atleast if once started, I'm sure we will get something.

If you install cleanrom can you tether without a hotspot plan or does at&t disallow such? Also with at&t purchase of verzion 700mhz spectrum does the fcc agreement now apply to at&t ? (this is for a tierd plan not unlimited)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jryuuu:
to the first part of your question--you don't need a plan. cleanrom "unlocks" this feature when you normally need a hotspot/tethering plan. as long as you don't stream movies and get carried away with tethering every single day, you should be fine. i believe they CAN detect unauthorized usage if it's extreme.

2nd part--no idea. sorry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jake21:
Well the plan is a tiered plan so usage would be limited; but someone had said somewhere that if they detect tehtering they automagically upgrade your plan. My actual usage (I'm currently with verizon and thinking of switching) is below 1GB. I just don't want to get suckered into a 5GB plan with very limited data usage.
[General Questions and Answers] SmearyToast:
Hi I am new to forums all together but I love reading here and have done some for quite a few years now. Finally decided to join. Hopefully I wont be seen as a nuisance. ;) So I wanted to ask I have an s3 and am thinking of plunking down the cash for a nexus 4. Never actually held one yet.

Nexus 4

Pros for me: always wanted one (wanted note 2 but att past return)

Love googles stock ROMs (running aokp on s3)

Truer whites and higher pixel density (am i gonna notice, i think so)

Love the build. Gorgeous! Especially back

On screen buttons

Faster processor

More one hand friendly (i have pretty big hands though so not much a pro)

No logos

Pros s3: like smart features (one regret of using 4.2 aokp jellybean)

Little more durable

Better front facing and rear

Kind a like amoled except blueish whites

Better speaker

More dev support

Deeper blacks

Battery

Cons: nexus: no lte ( doesn't bother me)

Glass back

Camera

Battery ( hoping mophie make pack for it)

Non removable ( don't intend it to last that long)

No SD ( not much issue with me. Have good signal everywhere) (at&t) mostly use songza and Pandora anyway

Cons s3: I think performance. But maybe i wouldn't notice it

Slower updates (premium does look nice)

Hardware buttons

Pen tile display (maybe again wouldn't notice)

Bluish whites

GPU (maybe more than enough, unsure)

Build quality (opinion) plastic feels not premium for what i payed

Volume rocker build

So that's what i gathered. Can anyone who has both help me out. Real experience with both is appreciated. I can see how it is and how it isn't worth it. ( i really want to see if s4 is gonna be worth the wait.) PS i work for authorized at&t dealer location. Hope posted this to correct place also. First post ever. So hope u guys will give me a little slack ( not a lot (in not special here, but a little ;) thanks. Hope others find this useful as well. As i researched the heck out of this!
[General Questions and Answers] orangekid:
Not sure about more dev support on the S3, remember the Nexus 4 will be the first phone with a KLP OTA and ROMs, and it will take a little while to port to the SS.

Honestly I don't see the S3 to the Nexus 4 as an "upgrade" you don't really notice the krait for S4 Pro upgrade because the dual-core krait with 2gb RAM is so fast already, I don't see the quad core really helping that much, e.g. the S3 does not lag, it's like someone who uses Word and IE upgrading from an Ivy Bridge i5 to an i7...

The other con I can think of upgrading is the HDMI out is really weird for the Nexus 4, you can't just use a $8 MHL adapter... I watch movies all the time from my Galaxy Nexus to my HDTV so it would be an issue for me.

The on-screen buttons I agree with, I love being able to mod my soft keys and stuff, but you can do all of that with the S3 too with AOKP and custom ROMs, just don't even use the hard-buttons if you don' want.

All in all I prefer the Nexus 4 for the customizations, IPS display, and KLP updating, and probably a better working Ubuntu Mobile port faster.

Hope that helps, ultimately you could probably do a straight trade for the phone on a reputable online trading site or even craigslist or something, so why not try it out?

Bigger battery, more charging to do. One guy, somewhere on here, posted a chart showing the speed and duration of his charging. It took about 2 hours for a full charge.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sky0165:
You just have to make some counts. The charger charges at 900 mAh. So you need 2 hours and 10 minutes (more or less) to charge all the 2000 mAh battery. Maybe you use a different charger that charges more mAh.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
That is because stock ROM is odexed.

If you try a Deodexed ROM, shouldn't see that.

At least that's what I think.

Because when I was using stock ODEX, LLA, LLC and XXEMA1, have the same thing, but I installed DEODEX XXEMA2 stock rom, it doesn't show up anymore.

So my guess it's something to do with ODEX, DEODEX, ZIPLIGN or something like that
