Hey, bro!

First of all, there are no stupid questions, weŕe all learning here ;) .

Rooting, in itself, doesnt let you play more Games/Apps.If you want to use more and especially newer apps, you will have to install a Custom ROM on your device, commonly known as flashing. A custom ROM is a is an android operating system that is different from your latest "official"(made by SonyEricsson) OS. Custom ROMs for our device are very practical, because our latest official Android version is 2.1, which doesnt support many apps. Currently, the best working custom ROMs for our Phone are the ones based on 2.3 Gingerbread.

To get the very best out of your Phone, you will have to unlock your bootloader (which is slightly risky) and flash a custom kernel, which is also part of a new Android OS(tutorials you will find in the following link).

If the procedure of unlocking your bootloader is to risky/difficult for you, there is another alternative: to flash a ROM based on your preinstalled("stock") kernel. For this you HAVE to root your phone, which doesnt have any risks and isnt difficult, install xrecovery (a program to install new ROMs) and then flash a "stock kernel based" ROM. Everything else you need to know is in this Links:

All custom ROMs and Tutorials for xrecovery:

For unlocking your bootloader:

PS.: You wont lose any on your sdcard and phone if you just root your Phone. If you flash a new ROM, you will lose the data on your Phone, but not the data on your sdcard.

[Q] rooted dinc; install TOB3.0 - format mounts and storage? status 7 & more issues

I've been working hard to get my dinc rooted, and am about to install Touch of Blue 3.0, but just want to double-check what to do to 'format everything in the mounts and storage menu except emmc and sdcard' because I believe my first installation attempt failed because I didn't do that.

My first attempt....

I rooted the dinc using the instructions over on android forums - all things root - how to root, and also upgraded the hboot/radio.

Then I then tried to install TOB3.0 by wiping cache & dalvik cache and installing zip from sd card. I got an error -- set_perms failed and then failed with Status 7. (This is the same error I got at this point a month ago when rooting another dinc and trying to install the rooted stock GB ROM. Then, I installed TOB2.2 and that worked fine.) After the Status 7, in trying to get out of that, I somehow put the phone into a boot loop, and it kept booting to the white screen w/ green HTC Incredible. Soooo, took the battery out to get out of that, and went to my back-up of stock unrooted froyo. many hours later, I am now at: 2.2 froyo 3.26.605.1; rooted; unlocked; s-off; radio 2.15.10.12.20

Now I want to install TOB3.0 correctly. I did see that I didn't follow the TOB3.0 directions the first time and didn't 'format everything in the mounts and storage menu except emmc and sdcard'. Do I do this by going into CWM -> mounts and storage and then doing 'format /boot', 'format /system' etc for everything except 'format /emmc' and 'format /sdcard'? Then do wipe cache/dalvik cache and install zip from sdcard?

Could skipping the formatting be the reason for my 'set_perms ... Status 7' error in the first place? If the installation fails again with the set_perms problem, I see that there is a Fix Permissions option in CWM, but I don't know how to use that.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: [Q] rooted dinc; install TOB3.0 - format mounts and storage? status 7 & more issu

Yes do the wipe just as you said above. Not wiping could have been the issue. Also just a recomendation, but i would consider upgrading to TWRP recovery.

There are different types of Xperia U. On some devices it isn't possible to unlock the Bootloader.

But there are some roms that work on Locked Bootloader. Just look in the development section.

There's a way to unlock SIM also from provider and for that you will be charged......

Hello,

is there Any HD2 EU installable NAND Rom with FULL Hardware Acceleration?

Sry for my Bad English

Greets...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Most NAND ROMs can be installed on EU HD2s provided you have an EXT partition on your SD card. Pick any ICS or above ROM and flash, you should have HWA.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BLOOD_ANGEL:
i have the nexusHD ICS and the JellyBean version the JB build laggs as hell and battery live is not so good ... :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I don't use my HD2 any more but I used to use NexusHD2 JB as my daily ROM. Battery life was as good as any other ROM and performance in general wasn't as good as GB but performance in heavy tasks (e.g. web browsing, gaming etc.) was hugely helped by the HWA in ICS and JB ROMs. I think ICS was marginally faster than JB for me (used NexusHD2 ICS as well) but the trade off was that it had no Google Now, and I couldn't mock my friend's One X for not having JB when my three year old phone did :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BLOOD_ANGEL:
i have used both, GB with HWA was better for gaming :D

i will the BLACKOUT ICS ore the VIPERDHD rom for my phone, the work on my DHD as well ... sense 4 desing is verry nice :)

my battery is verry high battery drain (whats app, sufing, in standby the battery holds up over night 30 % is this normall?)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
If you could check the other battery drain thread which has been recently posted you can find some information on how to reduce your battery consumption. Also, you can't get GB with HWA so I assume you mean JB? :p

Also, just as a reminder, this is the HD2 forum ;)

I asked somewhere, and someone said it's possible to have HWA on GB (MIUI & Sense Only). I'm not sure if he's right, and I really can't find the post in which I asked the question and the search is not helping :/ ..

Is the work on the blackout Rom for the hd2 discontinued ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Yes, you may have two phones but telling us that you have such and such on that device and you want it on the HD2 is just ridiculous. :)

About the blackout, we don't really know. But please don't go and ask there, if there is something they'll release it.

You can try mwakious' running ROM, he claims to have Hardware Acceleration and it's a sense ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
@Marvlesz Whoa, didn't know about that. Thanks for the heads up, since I'm not using my HD2 any more I'll flash it and check out what it's like.

EDIT: Hmm, if there is HWA then I don't really see much difference. It's marginally faster than barebones CM7 though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BLOOD_ANGEL:
I'm Downloading the ROM :)

Thanks for HELP!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
What part of "please don't go and ask there" did you not understand?

I tell you not to ask .. and you do the exact opposite, you go and ask.

Very intelligent of you. You deserve the discontinuity of the work anyway.

Try out Jelly King 2.0, it has a kernel which supports 2012 Wildfire S's. Its based on CM10 and minor bugs have been fixed for a pretty much stable ROM. The only issue is battery life.

Is there anything that i can do?

Actually, you need root. Not just a system signed app, because the status bar is in the system ui app, which needs root to be modified. Same with hiding it.

Thank you, but... are you 100% sure?

There is no aproacching using the "collapse" method in the StatusBarManager?

or using the "Settings.System.putInt" and putting an option to 0 in some content resolver?

Why then I have EXPAND_STATUS_BAR and STATUS_BAR_SERVICE permissions?

I did this...

Method m = StatusBarManager.class.getDeclaredMethod("getService");

m.setAccessible(true);

isbs = (IStatusBarService) m.invoke(sbm);

isbs.setSystemUiVisibility(BIND_NOT_VISIBLE);

And I get SecurityException for not using the android.permission.STATUS_BAR_SERVICE.

But actually I do, I wrote it in the manifest.

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Soichiro18:
Ok, It's for sure that can be done.

I sign an application and worked fine. I have to develop my own one but it ca be done.

The application shows a dialog message saying that the SystemUI has been stopped unexpectedly. (Not always but sometimes)

So, any approaching of how can I kill the system ui service?

He informed me that the PTV 3000 would not work the Nexus 4 running 4.2.2 and that I would have to downgrade my phone to 4.2.1 ( a snowballs chance in hell that was going to happen). After more discussion he "suggested that I try older firmware for the PTV 3000 or wait for a new release. I ask if he could supply me with the 2.2.2 firmware that I've read works with Android 4.2.2.

"Screen off and lock" for turning it off. Works very good.

For turning it on I've seen a few apps that use the proximity sensor (i.e. put the phone with the screen against the table and it switches off, pick it up and it switches on). Not a great battery drain, but I don't know if leaving the proximity sensor always on could damage it... :confused:

Some ROMs have a setting for waking the screen with the volume rocker, and there are also a couple of kernels that have "sweep to wake". Thats where you sweep your finger across the soft keys at the bottom of the phone, from one side to the other. Other than those two thing thats about it for alternative ways to wake the screen.
