[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] darksabre_x:
Doesn't really answer my question considering the end kernel will be the same regardless of the distro being used. I think you took my question as "Why are there 2 options for kernel compilation?", which wasn't what I was asking.

Looks like thermatk actually addressed the question with a page update.

It now gives separate options depending on which distro you want to end up with on your Note 10.1, in addition to separate kernel compilation options.

What I was referring to was when it was Ubuntu only instructions from kernel compilation all the way to deployment on the tablet and Arch only instructions. The kernel and linux image instructions weren't independent of each other, as they currently are.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] thermatk:
Update

I'm really happy to hear that someone else wants to use it and contribute! :victory:

darksabre_x, you are right I separated the guide into parts yesterday because the system where you compile kernel doesn't really affect anything on the tablet.

Soul_Est, thank you for helping with questions in the thread :good:

Now I understand that tabs are not the best way to do it, will start this day from trying to rewrite this to a navbar constantly on top which lets you choose options from a dropdown.

Also yesterday got the guide to the point when one path through can get ypu to a bootable distro! You can compile kernel wherever you want, you should be on stock based rom and choose to install Arch on separate partition which probably will be a partition on SD. What you have to add at the end is

pacman -S lxde

and copy xorg.conf from X-Stranger's post. Once rebooted, you will be able to enter android:changeme and

sudo lxdm

and the gui will start :) if you don't have USB-OTG and keyboard you won't be able to enter password but you can poweroff from the interface's right corner :good: Attention: if gui says that it has no permissions to write logs do

sudo mount -n -o remount, rw /

and retry but do not forget to write here about it!

What are the current problems:

Why exception13 and X-Stranger both hardcoded the whole cmdline for kernel and forced it not to be changeable from bootloaders. It's easy to fix in the config but there should have been some idea or i'm paranoic?

What's wrong with LinuxDeploy, separate partitions and CyanogenMod? hiruna filed a bug but meefik seems to be away for a week. If anyone else with CM has an idea on how to overcome this maybe with some special unmount commands :confused: CM is thinking that ext4 partition is th extSdCard and mounts it so that LinuxDeploy can't install anything there (seems that it's the problem) while stock can't mount ext4 as extsdcard and is not touching the partition.

How do we make Debian/Ubuntu to boot? Both ways - for separate partition and img are stuck one the problem that not any mkinitramfs or abootimg or their combinations could get to a better state than initramfs shell. Separate partition should be easier so focus should be on it for the start.

Adapt X-Stranger's guide about booting Arch from *.img. It's there and should be tested, rewritten and easied and some whitespaces should be filled. I know there are some as i have spent many hours in Arch with little dirty hacks like

ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd

that are needed but no one ever wrote that they are.

What's wrong with basic video? While we get bootable Arch if you add lxdm and xorg.conf it should work with lightdm and boot there without console commands. If you try to install lightdm you will get nothing but a black screen if you start it with

sudo lightdm

... and it should boot automatically without touching console.

Oh and why is kernel from exception13 not building at all? XD
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] thermatk:
Redesign #2

Anyone dislikes the new design idea with navbar selectors instead of tabs? :confused:

I hope it's better.

Will soon update the guide with last steps to have Arch with LXDE bootable from separate partition.

That's fun as I started this project to get Ubuntu working... :angel:

If anyone can understand what should be done with mkinitramfs to make debian/ubuntu rootfs bootable - please do it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] thermatk:
First success!

If you choose any pc distro, arch on sgn with lxde on a seaprate partition you will now get a fully working guide that will give you a native bootable GNU/Linux =)

That's first success for me but still i hope to get help as i don't know things I asked two posts ago and it's difficult to move forward.

XFCE problems

XFCE is booting (not in the guide yet) but for working with fingers in XFCE one should probably disable multitouch :( S-pen works fine.

How to setup WiFi using wpa_supplicant.conf

How to setup WiFi using wpa_supplicant.conf

​

1. Copy the "wifi" folder to "/opt"

- You will need gedit to edit the nameservers.

- You also need two dependencies before installing gedit.

- The two dependencies are : gtksourceview3-3.6.1-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz and libpeas-1.6.1-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz

2. Download them and copy over to ArchLinux

3. Install the dependencies first then gedit:

sudo pacman -U gtksourceview3-3.6.1-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U libpeas-1.6.1-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U gedit-3.6.2-2-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz

4. insmod the drivers:

***NOTE*** " 3.0.31-gedcc915 " is my kernel name. Change it to your

kernel name if it is different.

sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.0.31-gedcc915/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko

sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.0.31-gedcc915/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd/dhd.ko op_mode=0 firmware_path=/opt/wifi/bcmdhd_sta.bin nvram_path=/opt/wifi/nvram_net.txt_murata

5. Enable the wlan0:

sudo ip link set wlan0 up

6. Setup wpa_supplicant and ip address:

sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.33/24 dev wlan0

sudo ip route add default via 192.168.1.1

7a. Add nameservers:

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

7b. Go to the next available line and type:

nameserver 8.8.8.8

7c. Next line :

nameserver 8.8.4.4

7d. Save it

8. Go back to the terminal and edit the wpa_supplicant file:

sudo gedit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

- wpa_supplicant.conf file should be like this:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1

network={
ssid="NETWORKNAME"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
psk="NETWORKPASSWORD"
}

9. And finally, to connect to your network, run

sudo dhcpcd

Open up a web browser and enjoy!

Having a small issue

Ok, so I followed all the instructions and set the kernel up to boot from mmcblk1p2 (my ext4 partition on my sdcard I made for linux), and used dd to copy the prebuilt arch to the partition, and it boots and eveything seems to work but the wifi.... I repeated the process from the beginning all over and recompiled to make sure i didn't miss anything, but still no wifi... And since I'm using the prebuilt image copied to the sdcard for the distro, and everything works in it if i boot the .img from the internal storage and use the premade recovery, I'm assuming maybe there's something missing from compiling the kernel? In either case, if anyone has any ideas about this, please help, or if someone can make a properly compiled recovery.img that boots from mmcblk1p2, that would be super awesome.... I'm only mediocre in linux skill so any help would be appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Mikegyver_420:

Hello guys !

So, I'm a new Lumia 920 owner, and I have a question. (Acually, I have a ton of those, but this will do. For the moment :D)

Relating to the email accounts : I'm not sure if I've done things right. I have set up all my accounts. Gmail, Hotmail, another Hotmail for my university email, and the Live account. I will need to add my work account some time soon.

For the moment I have 4 tiles next to each other and it is not the best way to do everything. Is it possible to put everything on the same tile and then have submenus ounce I click this?

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards,

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Though I love my Xperia PLAY so much I can't see myself buying a new phone in the near future, I've had pretty bad experiences with the phone.

I bought my Play May 2011. Original flex cable broke October that same year. (5 months lifespan)

The flex got replaced December 1, 2011, and broke again July of 2012. (7 months lifespan)

Had it replaced July 2012, and broke again March this year. (8 months lifespan)

I'm now on the last flex cable I bought (3 pieces) from Gultek 1.5 years ago. (Because Sony Service Centers here in the Philippines suck they don't have the freakin' flex cable for replacement! :mad:)

On a side note, my phones digitizer also broke April 2011.

So basically, in the almost 2 years of owning Xperia PLAY, I've had many visits to Sony repair centers.

IS THAT EVEN NORMAL? My phone only fell at least twice at waist level. Also, I'm like the most careful slider phone owner! I always EXTREMELY SLOWLY slide out the gamepad whenever I play games!!:confused:

How about your experiences pals? I've read some users reporting ABSOLUTELY NO repair center visits since they bought their PLAY during its release. I feel cheated that my Play is like a sickly child waiting for its demise. :(

Flex cable 1 yearife span digitizer never broke but I also never dropped the phone it fits my hand perfectly unlike my new ion lol what a behemoth
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
I had to replace my flex cable twice. I really hate taking apart smartphones phones, especially after the second time I reassembled my xperia play together my speaker's sound is distorted. I would easily discourage people on taking apart their phones and just buy a brand new device. Note: I do have experience in taking apart of laptops and pcs btw.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
Got my first Xperia Play in it's Canadian launch, and it still works like a dream to this very day.

Zero hardware problems, zero flex cable replacements... and that's even counting a couple drops. Pretty durable to me.

But I sold that Xperia Play just a couple weeks ago when I got a white one... and the previous owner did replace the flex cable in this one (while also somehow screwing up the front camera and getting a few very bothersome pieces of dust under the screen). Not sure how comfortable I am with that.

I've had mine for 20 months. No digotzer or flex cable issues. Granted I don't have time to play games as mu h as I did 6 months ago but I played the heck out of the phone And still no issues. I should add though when I bought the phone it was used. Manufacture date is 11w19
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
I have personally built countless Xperia Plays and currently still own 6 of them :

(1) R800at

(2) R800x

(2) R800i

(1) R800a

I have never had a flex cable issue on any of them and some have had some pretty sad encounters. It comes down to how it was put together, if time and diligence are not exercised during the build then the device will surely have physical problems. A broke flex cable can fail due to being pinched on the inside or general wear and stress due to how the rest of the phone was "housed" around it. None of mine have failed over the course of about (2) years.

After reading some other posts in this thread I can say that..

Dust under the digitizer means the top half of the phone was more then likely taken apart ( TL you probably figured that much already..)

If anyone decides to buy a new device, please understand something THE XPERIA PLAY IS NOT IN PRODUCTION and every device online will be a refurbished device aka it was re housed and the motherboard was cleaned .. and a "new" or "brand new" tag was slapped on it, DO NOT get ripped off and PLEASE understand what you are buying and make sure there is a clear return policy in case you do not get what you expected. Also because I can't speak on behalf of every Xperia Play for sale out there, there may or may not be a few truly 100% new devices that were never sold lying around still. But Should anyone ever buy an Xperia Play online and question certain things about its build quality or the % of whats been replaced on it and what wasnt, Feel free to contact me and I can give you detailed information about what to look for.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Thanks for the replies guys. I've been busy working my ass off in EMS lately I had no time to derp around the forum or even play with my Play.

I envy you guys who managed to get their phone working without any repairs for more than a year. I don't know what's wrong but I think I am really careful with my gadgets especially my phone and still I can't even get it to a year without repairs.

Possible reasons?

The technician at the Sony Service Center near where I live recently removed the yellow-colored foil tape attached to the hinge clip (the one that holds the slider flex in place). He told me that that was the culprit because whenever the slider flex broke, some of its black coating stuck to that foil. What are your opinions about this?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I would demand they repair the whole issue for free as you have already paid and it was their incompetence that caused the later issues. And if they wont do it, then demand a refund or you will take them to small claims court (or the equivilent)

Might be a bit of a hard ass thing to say but they messed up in repairing your phone, they should be the ones to take the hit and pay for their mistake.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
But that yellow foil is a stock part of the phone. :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
Lil yellow foil decreases friction so that dude who said it's the problem is a dumbass just out some tape on the part of the flex cable that rubs and it should be fine
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboticBuddy:
Same here, last time I replaced my cable was in December. The replacement suddenly broke, no damages were made the physical housing.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Has anyone of you recently bought a WORKING slider flex from eBay? If yes, can you direct me to that ad (must ship internationally) so that I can order spares just in case mine breaks again?

Flipping through tons of Chinese ads with mixed negative and positive reviews is giving me a headache.

Thanks in advance! :)

So how's your flex doing? How long has it lasted?

I'm planning to buy 3. Not changing phone in the next couple years I guess. ;)

EDIT:

The seller you recommended has two listings of the flex with slightly different price. Which one did you buy,

THIS ONE: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ph/viewitem?itemId=171034227651

OR THIS ONE? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ph/viewitem?itemId=170964075419
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
They both look exactly the same buy the cheaper one. He prolly just hasn't figured out how to do that multiple product thing on eBay. Mines been going strong for about a year although. I would suggest you put some clear tape on the flex cable so when it rubs the metal itll just be the tape. I didnt do that cause I was lazy but nextime I fix I will. PS the tape has to be super thing and flexible.

Hello everyone. My English is very bad, so therefore I will use my friend google translate: D

I have a Sony Xperia GO

When I bought it worked on 2.3.7. version, and I immediately put it on the 4.0.4 version via PC Companion.

On the phone the battery very quickly emptied. I found version 2.3.7.

So he returned to over and over again flashtools quickly went batteries.

ROOT I tried but it did not work. I put back 4.0.4. and I put in ROOT. The battery is still going, I will put pictures, you will see that the Sony Xperia Miro (very long lasting battery).

I would ask you if you can explain to me how to put the custom kernel, ROM and what else is important to me the phone worked perfectly and had its battery longevity.

The forum can not manage to find you all and I do not know who to pick up, so please if you could somehow make everything important that you fix your phone.

1) The GPS isn't working at all and I can't find any satelites while my Galaxy Y can find.

So I want to flash the latest stock rom here which might lead to a fix for this issue.

Can anyone tell me how to flash stock rom here and where can I find it?
