Hello,

As I don't use a SIM card on my p6800 tab, I was wondering what would happen if I flashed a wifi-only ROM onto the tab? Would it work just like a p6810 or do I risk a brick?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biopsin:
You would have to repartition with a 6810 pit file else system won't fit on mmcblk0p8, but why not just run the thing in airplane mode??

Airplane mode is what I have been using but I wanted to try some ROMs that were only for the p6810.

Thank you for the answer I will just wait for appropriate ROMs it will be simpler.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shad0wboss:
I have been an android fan for the past 2 years. Kept a couple of devices from motorola defy to Desire HD and now i bought Xperia s two months ago. I never stayed on a rom for more than a month but with xperia s (being my first dual core processor device) i thought about staying on official rom. Boy am i wrong? It lags quite annoyingly at times. Keyboard doesn't feel too buttery. It often hangs for a minute or two (i can't even remove the battery :/).

So should i wait until the official jelly bean firmware or is it going to be crap as well compared to the custom ones out there? Which ROMS are the best/smoothest ones out there?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Jelly bean should be quite smooth since the kernel will have Project Butter. It is forbidden to ask which rom is the best on XDA - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1969555

Tip:- Just root your device and apply some build.prop tweaks, init.d scripts and debloat the rom. I am sure that you will start loving your XS.:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
As @abcdjdj already mentioned- Do not post questions like "Which ROM is the best".

As the MODS/DEVs says the point of the forum is to try out different ROMS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shad0wboss:
Yeah, i've been away from XDA for a while and yes, the question wasn't phrased properly...

Any suggestions about the build.prop or any scripts to run? i have rooted my phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
The question is.... Do you want to unlock the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
This is a collection of almost all tweaks - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069238

Here is a list of init.d scripts - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928464

Just go to /system/app and delete unwanted apks to debloat your rom.

Also, it is not necessary to unlock your bootloader to flash custom roms. Even with a locked bootloader, you can flash stock based custom roms like XZXperience etc. Unlocked bootloader is required for roms which use a different kernel like OpenSemc, CM9, CM10 etc.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
STOCK ICS a lot slower and hangs too, that's a pain. All expecting the Jelly Bean update will solve most the issues. So i suggest you wait for that. As Sony said, the Update will be dispatched within this month sometimes.

Meanwhile you may check this thread.

Also try an app called "Pimp MY ROM" from Google Play. It has many performance enhanced tweaks. It's quite good. actually.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ApriliaM3:
Read rather than post, that's my tip... There's no such thing as a best or smoothest ROM.

Check the responses here but also check the OP of the different ROMs, decide on 2 or 3 and try them for yourself.

It's certainly not something that you need to create a new thread to accomplish.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] lupus_hegemonia:
Hello to all.

I'm recently port a NAND Android rom (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.9a) and I'm trying to customize it (visual and performance's too).

I installed the NOVA launcher, which I think it's the best - I tried 3-4 popular others, but Nova I think is the better...

So, now, I want to replace/change:

All system's icons. I need some large icon packs to choose from.

Customize and change the look and use of the LockScreen. How can I customize it (visually) and how can I add weather, sms, email & generally other notifications?

I want to change the wallpaper of my home screen. I think I need wide wallpapers (to moving when I'm scrolling from one home screen to the next). Where can I find some? And where are the default wallpapers located???

I also want to change ringtones, notification sound, sms, etc. Where are they located?

And finally, I may want to change the splash animated boot screen - it's fantastic in NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.9a rom, but I think I need something more "light", not so "heavy".

Generally, I found quite difficult to locate and change/customize my Android rom. Why's that? It's almost difficult like... iOS (loool).

Thxs for any help, fellas.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Nigeldg:
Come on, this is literally you asking us how to use your phone. I understand issues with flashing but this is a bit extreme don't you think? Most of your questions could have been answered by actually using the phone :eek:

Anyway:

System icons - download an icon pack from the Play Store or from XDA then apply it in Nova

Look/use of the lock screen - you'll have to either flash a 4.2.2 ROM or buy WidgetLocker from the Play Store. I think NexusHD2 has an option to have weather and time on the lock screen though

Wallpaper - Seriously? Just long press on the homescreen and select a new wallpaper or press menu on the homescreen and select a new wallpaper or even go to settings>display>wallpaper and select a new wallpaper. As for where to find them, just download a wallpaper app from Google Play or download images from various places on the internet

Ringtone - again, seriously? Go to settings>sound and you'll find the options there

Bootanimation - search on XDA and you'll find your answers
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] lupus_hegemonia:
Thxs.

I know what are you saying, but it's not my phone (I have iOS and I'm keep learning it and reading about); it's my wife's, so I want just to customize it and leave it to her, I don't want (and don't have time) to learn the Android as well...

Thxs for the answers, mate.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] lupus_hegemonia:
Obviously you took me for an idiot.

I'm not talking "how to change wallpaper/ringtones", but WHERE THE HELL are they located, to copy-paste there my own! And I don't want to "download" anything, I'm making my OWN sound and visuals, so I need to know WHERE to place them.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Nigeldg:
I didn't take you for an idiot at all, it's exactly what the post you wrote suggested. It was probably the translation that was bad, but I assure you I wasn't assuming you were stupid. You can place a wallpaper anywhere on your SD card, as long as you know where it is you can just browse to it in a file manager then set it as your wallpaper. You should also be able to set it as a wallpaper from the gallery. As for ringtones I'm not sure but you should just be able to paste it in /system/media/audio/ringtones I think.

Dear All,

I haven't found an answer to my question yet, but would be happy for any suggestion or link.

My i9000' screen is broken and thus dead (blank, black, ...), all other functions of the phone are in place. I'm using this device now as Mifi and as Mediaplayer, all remote controlled.

It would be perfect if I could switch on TV out with each reboot, and need your suggestion there. Best would be to set a flag in one of the init.rc scripts, but I do not have any clue which flag that might need to be and how to set it.

Any other helpful hints are also welcome.

[LG Optimus 2x] Yordi Pauptit:
Hi guys,

I just started developing my custom overclock kernel for the P990 based on the CyanogenMod10.1 kernel. I'm still learning, so I'm not very far yet.

I got the kernel bootable, and as far as I can see everything works, exept for the WiFi. At first, it didn't work at all. I couldn't turn it on, but I fixed that by modifying my Makefile

CFLAGS_MODULE =

to

CFLAGS_MODULE = -fno-pic

The WiFi does turn on now, but all networks are out of range. The region of the router is set to Europe, the channel is 11. The region on my phone is set to Europe too.

I tried Googling this, but all I came up with was end-users who fixed it with an app.

The kernel logfile contains this line regarding the WiFi:

wl_iw_iscan_set_scan: Scan from SIOCGIWSCAN not supported

Thanks in advance.

Edit:

Sorry, I forgot some information there. I am using the CM10.1 NIGHTLY from 2013-04-08 to test my kernel on.

And I am using the arm-linux-androideabi-4.6 toolchain.

Solution:

I don't know if it is the right way to do it, but it seems to work for me. It scans the networks again, and I went to Google.com without problems. Here is what I did:

drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/src/wl/sys/wl_iw.c

4052: #if defined(CSCAN)
4053:	WL_ERROR(("%s: Scan from SIOCGIWSCAN not supported\n", __FUNCTION__));
4054:	return -EINVAL;
4055: #endif

and I changed it into this:

4052: /* #if defined(CSCAN)
4053:	WL_ERROR(("%s: Scan from SIOCGIWSCAN not supported\n", __FUNCTION__));
4054:	return -EINVAL;
4055: #endif */

So I basically "removed" the code, taking out the check if CSCAN is defined.

Again, I know this is probably not the right way to do it, but it works for me. Feel free to post a better solution (:

Hi all.

I have recently moved to Australia and i have taken my Gnote with me. I works on all the networks fine and im looking to flash it with Jellybean from ICS.

Is there anything i should know about doing this like.. radios and compatibility etc.. or can i just pick and choose something i like and flash it?

ALSO,

If i was to flash it with the official firmware just to take it back to stock, would it matter if i did this with a Australia version if its different? or would i have to do this with the UK firmware.

Any help would be great!

[HTC Sensation] yankeeDDL:
Hi everyone,

I got tired of waiting for any info regarding "official" JB on the Sensation.

In the family we have a Nexus4 and I am quite impressed with stock JB, so I decided to go for it on my Sensation.

I have unlocked the bootloaded but I haven't gained S-OFF yet.

I was about to go with the JuopunutBear trick but I am still not sure about which rom to flash, so I started looking ...

I went to CyanogenMod website and I see that there are nightlies available of CM10 for the Sensation. Looking at the guide on how to install CM on the phone, there are references to the "Revolutionary" tool which doesn't require any wire, or anything like that.

At the same time I am following the thread "CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 - KANG" and I see that the modded 4.1.2 (made to look like 4.2.2) is in the work but there are "still" major updates coming out quite regularly. Basically, it is a work in progress.

Note: this is by no means a complain: these modded roms are awesome and the work of the devs is amazing: I am just stating matter-of-factdly that the rom is not "ready" yet.

So I came with two questions:

1) Why would I pick the Revolutionary tool (as suggested on the CM pages) vs the JuopunutBear trick?

2) Which ROM to pick? I definitely would like JB. I don't care for Sense (at all). 4.2.2 would be preferable but I understand it does not exist. My Sensation is my "primary" phone, so I need "everything" to work: bluetooth, reasonable battery life, camera, panorama, video ...

Why would I pick a modded vs "stock" CM10? And anyone has a clue of how "stable" is the nightly CM10 for the Sensation?

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Number 1:

The S-OFF tool you use depends on your stock firmware/HBOOT.

If you want to use Revolutionary, which is by far easier. Then you must have Gingerbread (Android 2.3) / HBOOT 1.17.0006 to 1.18.0000.

If you have ICS (Android 4.0.3/4.0.4) and a HBOOT above 1.18.0000 then JuopunutBear is the path to follow.

Number 2:

4.2.2 does exist. (Branch: android-4.2.2_r1)

The CM10.1 (4.2.2) Kangs are brilliant and basically fully functional minus a few bugs here and there (LPA and video glitches seem to be the main bugs). The devs are fantastic at fixing and generally updating the device to make it run smoothly. The CM10 nightlies (4.1.X) work great if you want to use them and are fully functional as far as I can tell. (I've been using them for a few days now.)

Modded/kang is basically an enhanced version with more modules, optimization and bloat removal (CM10 has almost none, depending on how you see some apps). Most kangs come with a custom over-clocked kernel and several kernel fixes and governors which I personally prefer.

The choice between Cyanogen's nightlies and a kang is up to you. I generally download a kang ROM if I see something I like such as the kernels (and their governors) or their module support (NTFS/CIFS/USB-OTG). However kangs are generally a little more prone to bugs as the developer kangs features and then fixes them to work properly. If you see something in the ROM you want or need, then you should download it.

CM10 Nightlies are good if you want light-weight, out of the box stock android without sense. Battery life is good in general with CM10/CM10.1.

Since you're starting off, I suggest you try Albinoman887's CM10.1 (4.2.2) ROM. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115520)

If you just want simple "It works!", try CM10 Nightlies, or CM9 Stable.
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
Revolutionary tool is used to root and gain s-off if you're coming from a gingerbread Rom. The hboot is easily hacked. The ics hboot is more difficult, hence the need for the wire trick.

Go with CM10. As far as I know, its pretty stable. Strictly speaking, all cm roms are modded, the nightly versions tend to be more experimental and almost a beta stage. CM10.1 is probably less stable.
[HTC Sensation] yankeeDDL:
Thank you both for your suggestions: I didn't know about the "limitations" of the Revolutionary tool: I am on ICS and I think you guys saved me a whole bunch of time :)

I'll give CM10 a try then: i I don't like it, I'll try something else.

One last question, if I might: what's with the GApps?

Certain roms include them, other have a separate installer ... Wouldn't I be able to install any app via the play store anyway?

Thanks again, I really aprpeciate teh help.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
GApps includes the Google Play Store and other Google Apps. CyanogenMod was asked not to include Google Apps. I'm not quite sure why other developers do the same, but it's their choice and I'm sure they have a reason.
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
This is correct. When you flash a cm Rom, you need to flash gapps too, which includes gmail, play store, and othmp Google related apps like g+ and Google search.
[HTC Sensation] yankeeDDL:
Ok, but I do see several versions of the Gapps (a search on XdaDev shows several hits) and most of them look to be phone-specific, which makes little sense to me.

Shouldn't there be a "generic" Gapps (ok, maybe a different one per ICS, one for JB ... )?
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
Usually compatible gapps will be posted in the CM thread along with the rom itself.
[HTC Sensation] james1196:
Hey guys, i have an Incredible S. My mate is running a Sensation XE. I have my phone completely modded (S-OFF, Blackrose Hboot etc). My mate wants to root his.

If i just Unlock the bootloader via HTC Dev. Flash a custom recovery using the fastboot etc files from the ones i used. Can i just flash the ROM and use the command fastboot flash boot boot.IMG? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
There's no garauntee it will work. Fastboot can fail writing the boot image while S-ON. It's why 4EXT has SmartFlash.

Install 4EXT if you want to use HTCDev, and enable SmartFlash.
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
DON'T for the love of god flash the hboot you use for your incredible S on his sensation! You'll hard brick his phone! use the sensation versions. If he's still on gingerbread, the the revolutionary tool to unlock the bootloader and gain s-off in one.
[HTC Sensation] james1196:
Okay. I wanna flash the boot.IMG on mine before s-off I had to do it manually. For me I had to downgrade.

He's on latest ICS
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Flash your boot image, your Incredible S boot image on his Sensation?

Kernels don't work like that.

Use JuopunutBear and the wire trick to S-OFF. It's less complicated, and doesn't require HTCDev unlock anymore (there's a guide here on xda somewhere).
