Update: LegacyBlackDogROM1.03_MTD.zip

Potential Final ROM update; pending findings and suggested changes...

LegacyBlackDogROM1.03_MTD.ziphttp://d-h.st/iaB

Change log:

1) removed SuperSU and replaced with Superuser by ChainsDD and original su binary LegacyROM development started with (reason: stability; don't recommend upgrading the su binary to most recent)

2) added adblock by jrummy16 and updated hosts file

3) updated and moved some apps around based upon frequent or infrequent updates; recommend backup and full wipe for this reason

4) added sudo and sdcardstuck code from SenseiSimple's Android Shell Environment - Bash 4.1 version 1.2b; for more info or full version, see this post. To scan SD card for battery draining media bug, use your favorite terminal emulator and type "sudo sdcardstuck" I had a recent issue with this myself while on vacation but had to keep swapping batteries because I had no tools on the phone to fix it so I wanted to include this utility (There are many Terminal Emulators out there; I use ROM ToolBox for the terminal emulator. Let me know if there's one of interest to include.)

5) finished theming the pop-ups that was started awhile ago (maybe; let me know if you prefer the original ones borrowed from Paul Diddy).

Optional (from LegacyBlackDogROM versions 1.00 through 1.03): to add a quick widget for PowerShift on the fly:

1) open ScriptManager and navigate to location of script (V6 uses /data/V6_SuperCharger/PowerShift_Scripts... "Calculator-(8,12, 39,46,53,60)" is default but try as many as you like, use the one you like best), press and ensure Su is highlighted and "Save"d (You can mark as many as you like for quick widgets but do not set as boot; change as needed).

2) find open space on preferred home-screen, press/hold empty space (1x1 is the widget size), scroll left and select "Widgets", scroll to SMWidgets (available from google play if missing; should be in flash included /data/app), click "Add one script widget" and select your desired widget previously marked in first step.

Note: scheduled Flush-O-matic acts as a cache drop for freeing unneeded RAM cache left when exiting an app that may be using a lot of RAM every 4 hours. If you wish to adjust this, you'll need to download the script to adjust options; option 30.

note: this is a final ROM pending findings and suggestions; it has been a daily ROM for me but may not be much longer since I'm due an upgrade and looking into new phone releases with 4G-LTE. I'm hoping to get this ROM to a lesser need to update frequently but still supported.

Join us on the LG Optimus G! Its pretty much Sprint's Nexus 4, just.... Not a Nexus, lol. But the development scene is starting to bloom a little bit, and the custom stock LG Roms are so baller, you won't miss AOSP at all. :D

And yes, we have 4G LTE as well :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
LOL the new G2 would be a HUGE (literally!) distraction :D

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM10.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
It would, but the OG needs some more love, especially our Sprint version! But things have improved over time though, now that 4.3 Roms started rolling in for us :)

can't get to recovery

Hi so I've been using this rom for a while but unlike any other rom I've ever used I can't get to recovery mode. When I try to get there the samurai black and red screen shows with a loading bar that finishes loading and then just says there. What can i do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
If you can get to recovery with a battery pull and three finger salute, wipe data, cache and dalvik and flash ROM. If not getting recovery at all, ODIN with BML repartition. Sounds like corrupted data or semi bricked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
Anyone have a problem with this rom where that when you try to place a call in the dialer by pressing send and it doesn't do anything and sometimes delays in making the call for a very long time. Ive wiped a couple of times and the only thing I can think could be happening is some kind of thread lock from another app or supercharger tweak. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Don't think I've come across this myself. Have you tried testing send call before restoring data?

Also, have you tried clearing data for dialer and phone in settings/applications/manage applications/all apps?

Could be corrupt data or a third party app interfering. I use MyProfiles Pro to control volume and ringer levels and schedule flight mode nightly for battery savings and privacy but that doesn't seem to interfere with dial out sending.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
I tried clearing data from the dialer app and even rebooting my phone and the issue would still occur. Right now I'm trying to install my apps one by one and wait for the issue to occur. So far its working, so it has to be a app that is cauing this issue. I will post back when I find it.

Update:

LegacyBlackDogROM1.04_MTD.zip

mirror server

Change log: thanks to J2k3, SB03 and cerchiara for suggestions and feedback!

removed custom gallery and added stock 3D gallery due to MMS pics not displaying

added Flash Player from FC09 stock- seems to improve web browsing

added stock Swype- seems to play nice even when paid or trial versions from Play co-exist with stock Swype (Face it; when you upgrade to another flagship phone, you'll need to practice sweeping a keyboard sometime; beats tapping on a tiny virtual kb and missing mostly all the time! Start practicing in landscape mode.)

re-themed Mms.apk (no more transparency wallpaper but chat bubbles are reformed)

re-themed contacts and dialer backgrounds- darker bg image courtesy of MWBehr @ xda from contributed work on transparent contacts on Cut & Paste ROM

re-themed the pull-downs again; sharpened corners & now 10% darker (I may go to 94% opacity like the pull-down transparency; let me know)

re-based the main system apps with a more recent apktool in hopes of increasing compatibility with newer 3rd party apps
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
Ok post got to long so updating this post, so not the battery or apps, and tried the trick with clearing the data again on the dialer app(worked once), problem still resides. Out of ideas...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ninj0r:
anyway to remove the android animation on the pull down menu? its kind've annoying. otherwise, good stuff!
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
I had a ROM version without the animation. It was discontinued after the member requesting it upgraded.

Working on an update, now. I'll include one without the animation. The one with the animation will occur lower-right rather than middle to not get in the way of single notifications.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Can you do Sprint updates with this ROM like PRL and Profile?
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Yes you can.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
Not sure if anyone else has the phone delay issue but what fixed my problem so far was to uninstall sprint optimization wizard from system apps using uninstaller from market. i saved the apk in the recycle bin just incase.
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
You can certainly get by without that app. The app is intended to help manage Wimaxx 4G and help with battery by favoring wifi where available and not continually searching 4G where not available. Useless if you don't get 4G.

Keep us posted if that is the actual slow dial out caper.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerchiara:
So far so good, this is the longest so far without the slow dial happening, still not sure why other people haven't seen the problem, but happy that the fix is working for me :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] polbit:
I've had my N2 for over a month now, and recently noticed that the power button is quite sunk in. A lot more than the volume rocker. To be honest, I can't remember how it was when new, because I noticed it when I tried a case that covers the sides, and the power button was a little hard to hit. It does click and bounce back, but it is looser than the volume rocker as well. My wife has an SIII, and her power button sticks out as much as the volume rocker.

So, are all N2s this way, or should I exchange mine? I'm afraid that if I wait much longer and something happens, I'll get a refurb as a replacement from Verizon...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
To be honest I feel like mine is the same way. Its more sunk in than the volume rocker and sometimes it takes me a time or 2 to push it. I noticed it shortly after getting my phone (January 3rd) and I do actually see it being problematic long term.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] a1rb0rn:
Mine isn't like that, I'd go get a new phone if I were you guys.

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
Mine is a little loose but not sunken in at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zeroshadow21:
Mine is still nice and pressed out. I normally reboot from an app so my power button never gets touched :)

Sent from my fancy device thingy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] polbit:
Well, I called Verizon and got a replacement shipped to me today. The new phone's power button is definitely firmer and not loose at all, but just a bit taller - the volume rocker is still taller.

All in all, now I have to restock and relock the old phone, and get the new phone unlocked and loaded with Beans 10. Stupid button...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Just curious, did they send you a new NEW phone or a CLNR?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] polbit:
I was 2 (two!!) days out of the 30 day window, so I got the Samsung refurb. The rep told me that since the phone is so new, it will probably be a new phone anyway, and that I can always ask for another if this one is not up to the standards. The phone came with a big refurb sticker, but I sure can't tell it apart from new - not a scratch or dirt anywhere, and even the micro usb port does not seem to have been used. It has to be new, and if it isn't, then I don't care, looks new to me :)

Description

I've compiled CMW Recovery for the Hipstreet Flare. I'm not going to post recovery image until I fix an issue with the data & cache partition not mounting on boot.

I've discovered that after uploading, the recovery that the data & cache partition is there and can be mounted. If you have any ideas on this let me know.

Working (Tested)

Reboot System

Wipe data / factory reset

Wipe Cache

All buttons

Not Working (Known)

Reboot Recovery

How To Install

1. Upload to SDCard

2 A. Run Command in terminal with ADB:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/nandg

2 B. Run command in terminal on device:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/nandg

How to Access Recovery

Go to Android Settings -> Backup and Restore

Reboot into Recovery

The key mapping on the device is managed by the bootloader which I'm not willing to play with yet and loads a chinese boot menu with test controls nothing more.

Note: I placed in this order due to how the buttons are located and how there react with default configurations.

Power button : Back

Volume (+) : Down

Volume (-) : Up

Go Back : Select

Thx for this, I just got one of these.. It's a friends but I may keep it if I can set up my development environment similar to how I have it set up on my One V.. While the screen resoution kind of sucks, it makes it easier to type. I was supposed to get an s3 from him but it turned out oto be a Nexus S. I have a bionic on the way which will become my mainn device

tldr aka end rant

the decision to keep this tablet will reflect on what kernels / roms I can run on here, you compiling /CWM is a def start so thx
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tehstfu:
I know everyone has their own preferences and reasons for using a particular launcher, but I love the smoothness of the stock launcher and have modded mine enough that to me it is just as good as any other launcher. My only issue now is the placement of the all apps icon. I've been working for about a week and a half trying to find the code that forces the icon to the far right and have come so close to pinning it down but still haven't found a solution. I know that it could easily be fixed in the ICS seclauncher, but the JB one seems to use a completely different method of putting that icon in a foreign layout position.

I've been reading the actual java code in eclipse on one screen, and making my smali edits on another. Logcatting has been the most help, but now I'm totally stumped. If anyone else has attempted this, please share any info you might have.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HypnOtizer12:
Hello,

As i am today a not very-pleased s3 owner, i decided that i will give Sony a try for the first time. After looking much at especially the V and the Z, i`ve decided that the Z will be the phone i will enough pleased with.

Anyway, i habe been reeding alot about this phone the last days, and i keep reading that the screen is not "good" enough, and that is something that concerns me.

So i am asking YOU GUYS that are a lucky owner of the Xperia Z; How does the screen feel like? Is it relly THAT bad as people is talking about? I really want this phone. I love sonys interface and water+dust proof is a must for me these days.

I hope someone can give me a good answer.

Appreciated !
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkKrypt:
Honestly go out and check it out for yourself.

Everyone will and can have their own opinion, but in the end it is your choice.

I for one like it :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HypnOtizer12:
Thanks for responding!

I would love to check it out, but here in Norway we dont get it before 6-10Mars. I went to the store today to check out the display on the Xperia V, and i gotta say i liked it alot more than my Amoled S3.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
AW: So is the screen THAT bad?

Screen is just fine. Lots of exageration.

The vieweing angles are sub-premium, this is true, but perfectly ok. First its only the colours which wash out a bit, its not like you wouldnt see anything anymore plus, to be honest, how often and for jow long do you look at your phone flat and sideways...?

I like the screen a lot. Nice colours to look at, insane resolution and pixel density , everything is so damn crisp and clear. I mean hello, its a flaghship after all, they dont dare to put utter bull**** in it. As I said, lots of exaggeration.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
TFT with high resolution. Colors are bad.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msn0005:
Yesterday I tested 3 Xperia Z with bright pixel. But finally got one that has none.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
Depends on your definition of good colors.

When looking at photos vs one x without BE turned on colors are pretty close to the real thing including vibrancy and saturation. Now if you are the kind of person that likes unhealthy yellow skin tones, better than real life colors than yeah colors are no good. When people say it looks washed out they actually mean it is not punchy the truth is that when you look at the real world vs s3 and one x the real world seems to be washed out
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Stop this BS already... screen is very good.

The only "problem" with it is colour saturation in UI. When BE2 kicks in, and you're on 60%+ brightness, colours and brightness are amazing. And since BE2 doesn't change the screen's physical properties - it means that the screen itself is perfectly fine. The only thing you can be unhappy with is UI's default saturation values, which are quite low, probably to make the difference between media and UI very noticable.

Also, it's true - "washed out" colours are actually a lot closer to natural colours. If you want very saturated colours all the time - you might not be satisfied. If you want completely oversaturated colours - go for AMOLED, they're amazing in producing rich, highly saturated colours.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustaine8661:
For me, coming straight from an S3 to this, it really does look washed out, no mater how you look at it.

However, I think that this is because the S3 had very over saturated colours. If you do decide to go for the XZ, you'll be disappointed at first, but it feels much more premium and you'll start to realise that the S3 seemed like it was in Shop Display Mode all the time!

Ultimately, the choice is yours, but don't be downhearted if you go for it and you're initially unhappy with the screen.

EDIT:

Which is basically what everyone else has already said here.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metcard:
Maybe Sony should have added a samsung mode where it sets the saturation up to 120%, the contrast to .800 and maximum brightness to 50% so you can't see anything when outdoors.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edyboy:
I think you'll be happy with the screen if you upgraded from other xperia family phones. But if you will compare it side by side with other 1080 LCD phones like htc butterfly, hell even with HTC One X which has 720P and a year older, Z can't match overall display quality. Trust your eyes. To see is to believe.

The phone is a little laggier than Nexus 4 but faster.

Overall im very impressed.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
??????? You ok bro?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lusterboi:
All Sony screens are very good from my past experience, people are just used to over saturated colors that other companies do to their phones. Also, you eyes will strain much less when you look at Sony screens for extended period of times.

Also, I don't understand what's with the ruckus of angle viewing, seriously, how many of you out there actively view the screen from a angle? its just retarded to compare that, it's not even a point.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C1emen7s:
I personally really like the screen. I hated the screen on the s3 and thought the colours looked unnatural and oversaturated. With the XZ, while it may be 'washed out' to some, I actually find the colours, contrast, etc. quite nice to look at and natural. The s3 and the like hurt my eyes. Plus viewing angles aren't half as bad as I expected them to be given all the hysteria regarding them prior to release.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajsouter:
I posted this in the other thread "clearing up the....."

"I have now spent 48 hours with my XZ in the UK. I really like the display. It is sharp, vibrant and realistic in terms of colour and saturation. I could not get on with the amoled display of the HTC desire and the samsung galaxy. Too unrealistic imho. The bravia engine takes it to another level for movies and pictures: It will impress your friends!

I was hesitating with the iminent release of the HTC one. I have absolutley no regrets. It is a beautiful phone and a beautiful display."
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indycar:
well if the only downside is "bad view angles" and "low sturation" its great display because

1. i look my fone from front not side

2. i dont like too saturated colours (red must be red not burning red example)

3. resolution n ppi is high enough to make clear and nice pic

Overall it looks like a pretty good screen, if you dont care about viewing angles that much you will like it
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivoin3d:
I'm a 3d professional and colors to me are very important. I personally love the screen of the Z. Very sharp and awesome colors. Had a Galaxy S 2 for almost two years and the colors were just not realistic. The Xperia Z is very sharp too! And don't listen to people that say it has crappy viewing angles - I mean, come on guys, who really watches a movie on a screen that is almost perpendicular to his eyes?

So my advice: get one.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacker4748:
Got my Xperia Z yesterday and for a flagship I am disappointed with the display. I have expected the black to be darker and the viewing angles to be better, and that's from someone coming from a three-year-old HTC HD2. As for the viewing angles, the display is nice when viewed straight on, however just tilt it a bit to one side or the other and there is a noticable difference in how your eyes perceive the colors leading to an unpleasant feeling. There is no way you can watch a youtube video together with a friend and neither of you noticing it.

Anyways, go check for yourself and see if you're fine with the display or not. Personally I will check out the HTC One (and potentially the Samsung S IV) to see if I might be happier with either of those when they're available.

My two cents.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juDGEY2k10:

By saying not black, are you talking about the UI ? Did you google black and see if the color comes out black ?
