It is safe to delete everything on sdcard. I just did it and flash a ROM. And all the files needed created automatically.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Cht0in3:
Thanks you man i will do it, like you tell me ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Just remember, prepare everything you'll need (kernel, ROM...) on your PC.

First make a little test - go in to recovery, connect your phone to PC and mount usb.

If you can copy from PC to phone then format all, copy kernel with recovery, flash kernel THEN RESTART and flash ROM.

It's easier and safer then trying to flash boot.img.

It's good way to clean your card :)

I do it and boot is faster :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I wouldn't format sd card, though. Too much job, some say they have problems after... Just clear data..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Don't know why they had problems?

I did it twice and had no problems at all.

But first be sure you could mount your usb from recovery or you have drivers on your pc.

If you don't have drivers, you can't go in to fastboot, or if you can't mount usb from recovery - then you are in deep sh*t.

IMPORTANT - prepare all files, double check recovery (mounting, try to copy one file) or drivers on pc and, if you are using method with recovery, after formatting (data, cache, system, sdcard) DO NOT RESTART, first flash kernel, restart to recovery, flash ROM.

If you using XS for a long time, flashing, installing and torching you XS, after some time you'll have tones of craps on your card and it'll slow down reading (from memory).

My experience is - it's easy and it's not dangerous - if you know what are you doing.

If you don't understand even a word of instruction - don't do that, that could cause many problems and you could end up with broken/bricked XS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I have experience, but I can't handle the hassle if I have problems... Too my things to transfer and etc...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
I know who you are ;)

And believe me, that post wasn't for you, you could teach me some stuff. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Oh, thanks :D

Well, add me on Gtalk. What I could help, tell me

felimenta97@Gmail.com

But I'm still a pupil from Niaboc :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Aren't we in same group in google+ with Shinger, Vertigo and others?

I saw some of your posts on xzx2 thread and I can see you know what are you doing, don't be so modest :)

Tnx man, I'll remember your offer and if or when I need some advice or help, will "call" you :)

That's why we all love xda...

*** sorry man for stealing your thread ***
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
That's how I don't pay attention, You're Goran lol

Sorry hahaha...

I'm a bit more stock ROM focused, but I will help with whatever I can...

I'm waiting for PA 3.+ to get back to active with the team... I'm using Dual Boot (curently on XZX and leaked JB, but will get to XZX v3 (as soon as JB comes) and PA 3.+ for full support.) I like stock more just because haha

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
I'm using xzx2 too and PAC, xzx2 is fantastic ROM, can't wait xzx3 :D

O.K. mate, see you :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Cht0in3:
Hi , i have a problem i can't mount sd card from recovery :s i have 3bip (bad) when i plug my phone, i have pc companion and flashtool driver ,.. before it works but now not anymore..

Thx

PAC v22 or xzx2 ? i never installed xzx2 or xtx before..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:

Flash another kernel, then try.

Try on different PC...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] samg007:
hi everybody, i'm actually new to this forum and i want to install my first rom on my gs3 from telus. I want to install hyperdrive rls 10 but i realise that my gs3 was running on jelly beans 4.1.1 and that the rom was working on jelly beans 4.1.2. Should i update my phone (even if telus just offer jelly beans 4.1.1) or will it works with my version of the os? I also want to know if somebody else install hyperdrive with a telus phone and, if so, is it working properly? do you have issues with the rom?

Thanks a lot

samg007
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
Read more first before you flash any rom anthill you will have idea how to do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
I would also encourage you to do some reading up on the entire rooting and flashing procedures for your device. It's better to have a strong understanding before you begin than to go into the process with little knowledge. There's some good reading material in the general section. There's also a link in my signature that you can follow once your ready. It outlines the safest ways to proceed if you follow the directions precisely

Cheers
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Hello, my friend bought Z and I asked him to do an exchange for 2 days.I gave him my T and he the Z.So for those 48 hours i have been sleeping 16 hours in total.32 hours are not enough to learn How Z's firmware behave so i tryed to put my experiance from 2011 line and a little from the time I have T. And I kinda succeded in tweaking the Z. But thats the easy part, since the Z is xxdpi it was pain in the a** to vectorise all aosp xdpi images. And thats where my time went, at last I had problems making the actualy rom into one. So i split it into two parts becasue of the aosp apps i used. Thats fixable but it needs more time. I will get Z someday but as for all of us the money is the problem. So please show some respect and support me if you like my contribution to your amazing phones. Also please consider Donating. And just to say I am 14 and its not easy for me to do all that stuff because of school and so on

P.S I dont have Z anymore(that was obvious but...:p)

Goo.IM(part1)

[Xperia Z Android Development] bLack_Q:
Looks nice so far. I'm restoring apps now and will flash some mods, after a bit more testing I will edit again.

EDIT: couldnt find any bug so far, everything seems to work. Speed is nice, cant complain until now.

EDIT 2: Found a bug; when starting Walkman.app the phone starts to lag and until I restart it wont work properly.
[Xperia Z Android Development] adamsweeting:
Looks promising.... I will wait to see what others report back with before trying this ROM.

Gonna keep my eye on it....
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Look nice project :good::)

Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] ademuch:
Look Nice.... Is there aosp messaging app?? And if yes... Does mms works well with it?
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Yea it has. I don't use sms and mms. But It shall work
[Xperia Z Android Development] ademuch:
Well... I m uding romAur... Actually... I thinck i m gona change
[Xperia Z Android Development] amerikian:
So far so goods thanks! Wool report back after more use.
[Xperia Z Android Development] avetny:
This is sick job !!!! Bravo man !!!!

I like Phone apk ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Yay finally someone to confirm I am crazy. :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] alnikki25k:
Good Stuff. It flashed successfully and all that but when it booted, at the setup guide, it failed to recognise my SIM card. When ejected the SIM tray and re-inserted it, it gave that new SIM card message and rebooted. But again upon boot, it failed to recognise my SIM. It works on other ROMs though.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Did you folowed instructions. And that isnt rom dedicated if the rom is sony based. Flash stock fw with flashtool and see if you have sim. If you have. Flash my rom and you will still have sim. If not request new sim from your operator
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
EDIT 2: Found a bug; when starting Walkman.app the phone starts to lag and until I restart it wont work properly.

Can anyone confirm that?
[Xperia Z Android Development] depios:
Yes i confirm is laging
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Try the ZeroInfinity Mod/
[Xperia Z Android Development] depios:
Dosen´t work with the mod
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
What do you mean by that. It doesnt lag. My rom isnt compatible with the mod or...?
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
I can only suspect what the issue is. I dont have the Z. I asked my friend and he said that he doesnt experiance any lag while listening to music or just opening walkman etc.

So please flash this http://www71.zippyshare.com/v/76334495/file.html and tell me if its working
[Xperia Z Android Development] amerikian:
Just tried the zip and it helped it by reducing lag but it still force closes. At least it doesn't freeze the whole system now but still not working
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Are you guys on stock kernel. My friend uses DoomLord's and he has no problem at all. On xperia 2011 line for LB installation you have to do a factory reset then format system form recovery then install the rom. Can someone who has small data try this. And also thanks to lkrys, he said that everything worked with the fix you just have to wipe Davilk and Cache and fix premissions before flashing. I need like 2 more confirms and i will update thread:)
[Xperia Z Android Development] depios:
yes stock kernel
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
So does the fix works for all of you who have this issue?
[Xperia Z Android Development] depios:
no the fix dosent work, the issue still
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Try wiping cache, dalvik adn fix premissions then flash teh fix and reboot
[Xperia Z Android Development] amerikian:
ayo!

Hi I tried but still super laggy and it is not working. For me, this is not a deal breaker as i can just use google music.

One other thing i notice is that during Antutu benchmark tests, the app crashes everytime it begins the graphics tests.

Otherwise, very stable, fast, and good battery. Love the theme too.

Looking forward to V2 :cool:
[Xperia Z Android Development] joejoe23:
can you give a report on the battery? i might change to this rom if the battery is good.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Well. V2 is when I get Z. Otherwise you will get those bugs. And try deleting init.d and adreno_config.txt and reboot and check antutu and walkman.
[Xperia Z Android Development] amerikian:
Battery is very good, which is to say normal. Nothing crazy but it is up to par with the other ROMs out there.

Give it try. Its pretty nice.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

No worries. Thanks. By the way, where can i find the adreno_config.txt file?
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Oh yep in etc folder
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Here is another fix.Hopefully it will fix both GPU and walkman bug. Flash it in recovery then Wipe Dalvik, normal cache and fix premissions
[Xperia Z Android Development] gro95qg:
works on lb ?

you can create a zip flashable ?

tks man for this rom
[Xperia Z Android Development] joejoe23:
I did factory reset,wipe system and installed this rom,then installed the bugfixes and wipe cache/dalvik..and reboot and tried opening walkman.It still lags. Im on Doomlords kernel V4

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

And i dont have data connections.

Edit: Got data already. ill probably get back to this rom when walkman lag is fixed
[Xperia Z Android Development] amerikian:
Hi I tried the fix.zip and the walkman still lags. I don't have any issues with Data. How can i check if the GPU is working better?
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
If antutu gpu tests are showing up on scren andvyou can see them
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
GPU tests don't show any improvements mate, so maybe it's better to remove adreno config for now
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Well maybe it actualy gives problems on 300+ adreno. But for main reason i put it cause it increses smoothnes. It gives antialasing. And when you are using MHL it renders smoother and faster. So i will somehow try to find a way to use it and dont have bugs. Antutu isnt big deal.Walkman bug is kinda not good. But anyway. I ahve to maek another script cause when there is adreno in /etc it is a placebo but somehow it doesnt act well.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Yes it works for lb. Just folow instructions
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Ok so here it is. That shall fix the bugs(or my friend lied). So http://d-h.st/Jeb please give feedback so i can update the thread. And yea just flash in recovery no special wipes
[Xperia Z Android Development] amerikian:
Cool that fixed it! Thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Hi MrTapa

in this rom there are Phone and SMS apk Aosp?

thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
SMS app is aosp. Phone app is better than aosp:P Its themed
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
thanks for the reply..

Phone apk is only Themed but is still Sony apk?

i ask this because i found the Phone Sony app a little bit unresponsive.. i think Aosp is much better and fast...

Wich are the exact name of the APK of SMS and Phone?

I would like to try the 2 apk on the rom I have now on the XZ

thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
mms.apk and semcphone.apk. But it wil lbe better if you switch teh whole rom cause it matches teh style
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Thanks

maybe one day i try your rom ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ToinouAngel:
Alright... Since it's Sony based and not AOSP based it will work on locked bootloaders, right?

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see it did.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Umm Whats up. Are you guys happy with my rom. And found any other bugs?
[Xperia Z Android Development] amerikian:
good daily driver

I was using your Rom for a few days and it was very stable and smooth. I just ditched it last night to give KA06 a spin. I'm a flash junkie what can i say :eek:

Will definitely be checking out your future releases!
[Xperia Z Android Development] MrTapa:
Future release worn be possible without donations from you guys and your support. What can I do without this device...
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
Nice work :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] rotkiv3451:
Navbar

Is it possible to get the navbar back to normal size?

I don't really like it small.

I don't have a Xperia Z yet, so I didn't actually test it out, but I liked the size of the navbar on my Galaxy Nexus.

And could someone please post some screenshots of the rom to show what's themed or not? Like the Phone App, the receiving call screen and stuff like that?

I'm very thankful for your work, love how the Xperia Z looks but I don't like the stock UI.

I still can't afford this device, and its kinda hard to borrow it from my friebd cause I need time. I did that rom in 2 days, and it actually was a preview. I am glad you like it, but I am afraid I cant update anymore without the device. Thank you

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mollysue:
Hi!

I've been having a huge problem with my phone after attempting to upgrade my CM Nightly.

It's rooted, S-OFF, and unlocked. I managed after some running around in circles to install the .zip through TWRP recovery, and I flashed the boot.img via fastboot, but still I have the CyanogenMod bootloop going strong. I've wiped everything I can wipe and tried different versions of CM but nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong here?

Edit: d'oh! I wrote the title because that WAS the problem, I managed to fix it in a jiff but a new problem arose, which I wrote about here. Ignore the title sorry please thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
What version of twrp?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
Have you formatted the storage on a pc? I did an accidental factory reset from boot loader and it corrupted the internal storage big time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mollysue:
TWRP version 2.4.4.0

Yeah I think disk utility might have formatted the internal storage. I then re-formatted through TWRP and it seems to have made it all better, and I managed to flash the .zip, but still bootloop.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Twrp 2.4.x has wiping issues, install 2.3.x, then to fastboot erase cache then wipe everything. Cache, dalvik, system, factory reset. Install your ROM.it will work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mollysue:
That worked!!!!!!

<3
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bkmo:
Now you can change the title to solved.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mollysue:
Thanks guys/gals. One last question!

I remember when I first rooted my phone I changed the "recent apps" button to a "menu" button, but when I booted the device successfully that configuration was gone but I don't have the three-point virtual menu button in my apps. I tried to remap the button using this (http://dottech.org/32033/how-to-changeremap-the-search-key-android/) guide, but no dice, it just made the recent apps button stop working altogether.

So now I cannot access the menu button in any app. Any advice?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
I believe HTC Stock has that feature built in so it should be within the settings. I would undo whatever you did and just change the setting in your rom instead.

EDS is really the best for dealing with encrypted data stores.

But unfortunately, any video included in the encrypted file that is being opened by EDS is not showing as thumbnails while any Photo included is showing its thumb.

I tried with the option included for MIME but always failed ex.:
