cross oem ports are possible..2011 xperia devices had a sense port and gs2 has a sense port too..

No one told it isn't possible...

Only the fact that it requires a lot of work, and is time consuming. And, you'd need to patch the bugs that would arise. :thumbup:

you need to do bug fixed via smali and no one likes that..:P its relatively easier if they use same soc and hardware

So no one giving it a shot huh.....

Also do we need to download any source files to port ROM from different oem. Coz I have just 32 bit Ubuntu 12.10....

If it can be done within windows ecosystem then I will give it a try .....got lot of patience to edit smali files.:)

hello,

I already installed 1 or 2 patches in my HTC One S, and they are ok.

But I'm planning to install another one that I may want to uninstall if it doesn't work. So I'm wondering if there's a way to "cancel" 1/some/all patches?

thanks!
[HTC One S] lampel:
I don't think you can cancel or remove a patch in the traditional way but if you're rooted you can create a nandroid (system) backup that will restore your phone to the state it was in when the nandroid was created.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orioncol:
Hi

But in their page they said that in the new kernel it was fixed, they say this:

cm10.1 is now supported in dual-boot configurations

1.8.7->1.8.8: fixed cm10.1 not booting when installed as 2ndROM (a tiny typo in ramfs)

1.8.8->1.8.9: fixed the problem when installing cm10.1 directly as 2ndROM. fixed bluetooth issue in cm10/cm10.1 (credits to Entropy512, just cherrypicked his commit from CM10.1 kernel repo). added profile support back to support droidphile’s

So what it does that mean?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
The versions of CM 10.1 before 27th (?) are running, whereas later versions not. Reason is the update MALI drivers of new android versions and Siyah was not yet adjusted to it. We have to wait for an updated Siyah kernel.

[HTC One X+] decerca:
Hello,

I just got my HTC One X+AT&T two weeks ago. It is now unlocked and rooted (CMW).

From the start the HOX has a very poor wifi at my home, at my laptop I have 4 bars but my HOX shows only 1 most of the time and 2 bars at most, and disconnects often. I get my wifi Internet from my landlord, so I cannot adjust the router. Though the phone has a good signal at work (where the signal is super strong and my cubicle is like 1 meter away from the router). My signal at home is not as strong as in my job, but at home I can watch Youtube videos just fine, so the sign is not that awful.

I read about the HOX wifi hardware issue, but I rather not try to open the HOX up and fix it myself. I bought the phone at Ebay, so I cant return it.

I tried the Reverse Tether app, I enabled USB tethering on my phone, and the app starts to connect but at the end it shows an error: Failed make sure you have internet on your pc and that is properly shared.

I tried to create a computers/device network on my Mac, but as soon as I created it, it kicked me out of my wifi. I took off the Firewall, and still does not work. I also tried to make an ad hoc network but it did not work either.

I tried to use Internet Sharing on my Mac to get wifi on the HOX but it does not work since I get my Internet from wifi, and not from an ethernet cable.

I tried the Internet Pass Through featured on the HOX but that did not work, even though I installed the most recent HTC Sync on my Mac, as soon as I tried to enable it, it would kick the HOX offline, and the connection is never made.

I installed Wifi analyzer and I always get between -90 and -80 dBm at most. It kinda helped to stabilize it a bit, but still it gets disconnected often.

I would really appreciate if you guys would kindly help this poor and frustrated soul to enhance HOX wifi reception.

Thanks a lot.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imagineer75:
Hello everybody,

I purchased my galaxy note 2 in late December, I kept the stock samsung ROM (android 4.1.1)and almost rooted it immediately after I had opened its box. Rapidly, I noticed it rebooted from time to time, it seems it happened randomly, i.e. not whilst performing a specific task on my phone. For instance, sometimes when I wanted to check my emails or texts, I picked it up from my pocket, and android was asking me to enter my SIM PIN. So basically my phone rebooted while sitting in my pocket. More rarely, it also suddenly rebooted while I was using it. (but to be honest, it spends more time in my pocket than it does in my hands, that's definitely why it did the latter far less frequently).

I saw that there was an update available, so I flashed the 4.1.2 stock ROM using kies, and rooted it again shortly after. But the reboots issue was still there, so in February I decided to give a try to a cyanogen mod 10.1 nightly build. For like a week or 10 days, it appeared to work properly, no more random reboots. However, after that delay, unfortunately it started to randomly reboot again.

I don't think that rooting the phone can cause such an abnormal behaviour, can it? I use several apps that require root privileges, that's why I did root it every time I flashed a new ROM.

Well the bottom line is that it's really pissing me off, so I'm considering to return it to samsung using a RMA procedure. But anyway, if you have any idea that could help me solve this problem, please feel to let me know, I'll gladly appreciate it. Also I'm wondering if anyone has an alike problem?

If need be, I'll return it for a repair or an exchange, if so, what do I need to do to reset it to factory defaults? I can re-flash the stock ROM, that should unroot it, but resetting the flash counter is also required, for that purpose I'll probably try the 'Triangle Away' app, hopefully it's gonna work. But AFAIK, when doing so on my former phone - a samsung galaxy S 2 - there was another counter, that counted how many times the first counter has been resetted, so one has to actually reset both of them in order for the mobile not to look having been tinkered with. Is anyone aware of a similar second counter on the galaxy note II? If you think of anything else I forgot to mention, please give me a shout.

Thanks for reading my post and helping me out.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muppetmania:
Sadly it sounds like you might have a defective Note II. I have a stock (not rooted) Note II and, while I've only owned it for a month, it hasn't exhibited any problems with rebooting. Nor did I have anything like that with my S3 previously.

Probably not what you were hoping to read, sorry.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imagineer75:
Thanks for your input muppetmania, well fortunately all galaxy note II don't have this problem :)

I just hope that if I return it, they'll be able to reproduce the annoying issue as they probably won't install as many apps as I did, or use it the same way, etc ...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
My note 2 is the first android phone I've had that I have not rooted (yet). I've had it about a month now and it has randomly rebooted 3 times so far.

Every time it has happened it's been while I had 10+ tabs open in Chrome and was reloading several at once while also using other apps. For example one time I was composing an email and pulling excerpts from several sources on different web pages.. midway through composition and BAM, random reboot :(

In my opinion you did not cause this by rooting the phone
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imagineer75:
If mine had only rebooted 3 times in a month then I'd be "happy" :p But for me it's more like 3 times a day. Well any random reboot is never a good thing, especially if you're are typing a text or writing an email. I'm scared it happens when I'm using my phone as a GPS on my motorbike, could be really pesky if I have to stop, wait for the mobile to reboot, get another GPS fix, and set my destination again ...

Just out of curiosity, you're also running the stock samsung ROM? Switching from it to cyanogen made virtually not difference for that matter.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
I still have not rooted this device so yes... I'm running the stock Samsung rom :P

In case it may be relevant though, I do also use nova launcher and LOVE it. This new generation of TouchWiz is not bad at all not Nova is better, imo
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imagineer75:
I use the default launcher, both for the stock ROM and cyanogen Mod. I did not really like touchwizz, but I think the dual screen function and the stylus management were quite good though.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imagineer75:
I gave a call to the after sales service, and they advised me to go to a Samsung store in order to get my phone repaired. Just to make sure it's going to be be alright (I mean that I don't want them to find out that I have rooted / installed a custom ROM on the mobile and use that as a pretext for refusing to fix it), can someone tell me exactly what do I need to do in order to revert the phone back precisely to its factory configuration?

So far, here is what I plan on doing:

- install the last official samsung ROM (which is currently the 4.1.2 version of android if i'm not wrong), that should unroot the phone altogether

- Use an app called "triangle away" to reset the flash counter

But I still wonder is there is anything else that would allow them to know that I flashed / rooted the phone. Is there anything like a second counter, that counts how many time the counter mentioned above has been resetted itself? Also I do remember that when I flashed my galaxy S II with an insecure kernel, a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark appeared during boot up (I know that "Triangle Away" should remove it), I don't currently have that on my GN 2, but I don't know whether Samsung still uses this method or if they have implemented something else?

Thank you.
[Networking] Jeenious:
Ive been trying to find where i can change the username/password combination for a gprs or wap internet connection.

the only thing i can find is the initial prompt when i first dial the connection, but surely it can be changed at a later stage.

Does anyone know how to get into these settings?
[Networking] ianlake:
passwords

i think these are server based passwords, not something a user can change. you will have your own security set up on your xda, the passwords used are login passwords
[Networking] Jeenious:
yes but i want to change them as my access passwords are different depending on which sim card i use.
[Networking] samohile:
I know, it is really annoying. If you select the option "Save Password", I couldn't find a way to change the password.

Either you may create another connection with different name having different username or password.

There is a way to find out the stored username.

Run a registry editor, and go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Comm->RasBook and look for your connection listed in the tree.

I believe the only way to reset the password is to remove the registry entry (or the modem entry in connection manager) and create a new connection, though I don't believe it to be a bright idea.

While on the subject, I discovered that if you delete the connection:

Settings->Connections->Modify->General Tab, the modem connection neither gets deleted nor is displayed. If you try to create another modem connection of the same name, it just says that modem already exists, but does not show up.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
I couldnt find a date on the article....but that trick is ancient. I remember using it 10 years ago.

Everything works differently now

Most fail to realize it isnt updating the prl and profile that improve their connection..it is more so simply the disconnect and reconnect to the network that happens afterwards that fixes connectivity issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
^Except that "trick" didn't even work 10 years ago.

Let's clear this up, because I'm sick of people acting like they know what they are talking about:

PRL = Preferred Roaming List. It just speeds up the amount of time it takes to connect to the network by having a tiered table and a list of frequencies. This way the phone doesn't need to scan the entire spectrum every time it can't connect to the home network.

It's been a while since I took cellular networking, but basically the nation is split into regions and based upon that region, you get a different PRL. Within each PRL, you have geographic IDs (general geographic area), carrier IDs (which network to connect to first), and network IDs (which towers to try first). It's like a large hash map; the phone starts at the top and works its way down the list. If connection in that list fails, the phone will continue to move down the list, saving time, since the list has already been organized by priority.

New cells are authorized with the with the same network IDs and configurations as neighboring cells. Logically, this make sense since towers ideally each cover a specific area (with slight overlap for handoffs/handovers). This way, a subscriber can maintain coverage while moving through cells without having to hunt for a new signal every time.

These PRLs also restrict which towers you can connect to (why people use "hacked PRLs"), for obvious cost reasons, which is why your phone will aggressively try to stay on the home network (the carrier ID for Sprint is higher on the list than say Verizon). I think the only exception is a 911 call, in which case the phone will connect to the strongest tower, regardless of carrier. If you've ever dialed 911 from a mobile phone, this is part of the "emergency mode" that you phone goes into lockdown after.

Now, I'd don't promise this information is 100% accurate or up-to-date, but at least I'm not talking out of my ass; we had to study this stuff. :)

So, a PRL isn't about giving you the best coverage, but rather mitigating roaming charges incurred by your service provider first, and ensuring that you can able to connect to new networks quickly when you lose an existing connection second.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
I think the confusion lies here...

*18 was never a PRL update. The OP made that association.

10+ years ago on analog phones it did work, as it was a connection reset of sorts. All it does is disconnect and reconnect. It had nothing to do with the PRL.

The only reason PRL updates can be handy today is to add new sites as they come up...which with network vision can be handy but other than that ....what people experince is the reconnect that takes place. You get the same result by restarting the phone or turning data off then back on.

Quit being so defensive :]

It's pretty rare that I don't agree with you

-Mr. Ed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Airplane mode cycle is much easier. No need to update a PRL unless 800smr add is in their. Other than that i stick with the 3g roaming enabled ones.
