do one thing,flash any ICS rom rooted and install CWM recovery

follow the instructions from 1st post(flash only rom zip) and don't format data ,system and cache

then flash the kernel from flash tool.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zcffcz:
same here....you can delete the ics file using root explorer, the old files have different creating date
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] percy_g2:
OK guys who are facing baseband issues .

follow my instructions from 1 st post carefully ,you should be on ICS ,rooted and CWM recovery installed

TIPS:-

1.don't format data ,system and cache

2.flash kernel zip and rom zip one by one(don't reboot in between)

3.mount system ,cache and data when flashing rom and kernel

4.wipe data at last and reboot
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pandemic:
what is hard to understand what stands in the OP?

i followed that steps exactly with Generatic Europe and all good by me.

your Xperia P is just f*cked up now
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Astral07:
one more question from me...

i have installed JB and i have root

is there a cwm for JB that will work? i have locked BL

edit: just saw this so i will try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2020895&page=9
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lebartman:
Generatic Europe FTF?

Generatic Europe Kernel.zip?

Genatic Europe ROM.zip?

Did you wipe data?system? cache?

Thank you in advance for your answer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] percy_g2:
Use cwm for locked bl, didn't try but it should work.

With regard to the instructions in first page :

1) "Generic" JB firmware means "Generic World"?

2) Final wipe data means also cache and dalvik?

3) CWM will be kept? else how to reinstall it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TiagoRigueto:
my xperia p don't have cwm....

how to install cwm????
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mr_S:
You misunderstood, I mean I thought kernels couldn't be flashed via cwm with a locked bl, hence why cm9 etc can't be used.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pandemic:
Dude come on!!

Ok i tell how i did:

Download generatic europe zip in the OP

Like JB kernel zip also.

Put those 2 on your sd card, flash back to ICS with flashtool, this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2089118

Root ICS, install cwm,

Boot into cwm,

Mount data, system and cache that it stands on unmount all 3,

Flash jb kernel zip, again mount system, data and cache that it stands on unmounted again, flash then the generatic europe jb zip

After that wipe data/factory reset

Reboot

Done

So i did it;)

i have flashed the prerooted generic jb rom and everything works fine but i noticed that in camera there is panorama mode like in ics...also the keyboard isn't changed like it was in central european version. Are those leftovers from ics rom or is the generic world version of jb different from central europe?

EDIT: oh and there is older version of google play like in ics..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pandemic:
Thats normal, i had also the panorama mode in unrooted version of JB and no thats correct we have still the same as in ICS but then with other sounds, google play is update hisself otherwise look in Themes/app section here, i have already the new one 4.0.27:)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shakeador:
One question, I would like to perform a Titanium Backup before trying this, but as JB is noot rooted I am not able to do this, I have seen that at some point a Complete Wipe is necessary (after Flashing Prerooted JB from ICS) will I loose all my data after downgrading to ICS? or should I be able to use Titanium to backup all before flashing JB? I understand that in any Case SD contents are untouched, right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] leeweijie99:
[MENTION=2902434]Pandemic[/MENTION]

In your guide, you said flash kernel.zip in cwm, but am I wrong to say that you can't flash kernel in cwm if you have locked bootloader?

Also, by not formatting data and system Before flashing the jb system zip, what files are we trying to retain from ics?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mr_S:
Already asked about kernel but no-one answered.

I presume it's ok because it's completely stock.

And it worked ok for me
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] leeweijie99:
I have an idea, that is to backup the superuser with the sony backup and restore app when you have root in ics and flash JB ftf and restore it. What do you think?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fatspirit:
You cannot back up and restore su binary this way. Superuser is just a GUI for su.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] leeweijie99:
Thanks. But I still don't understand why when I format system, data and cache, wifi, sim card and bluetooth doesn't work. But [MENTION=2902434]Pandemic[/MENTION] reported it to be working by not formatting system, data and cache. Does it mean that we need to use or retain some of the files from ics for this prerooted JB rom to work? If that was the case, I don't understand why we must use ics files just because there was the su binary and busybox in /system
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sadiq23:

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abokorayem:
hey all

as the title says iam confused between Xperia Z and S4 iam not a fanboy but here i will say why iam confused

1-processor: i asked ppl who said that octa=quad in performance only better in battery life as its 2 quad processor (so almost the same)

2-Screen:Super Amoled Vs TFT idk which better actually both appeal to me one is Siturated and the other is natura...we cant forget about bravia engine 2 in Z

3-Camera: Ofcourse all samples say that S4 is better here but when i asked developers they ssaid its only because of OVER COMPRESSION is xperia z which could be fixed on the next update is that true?(as S4 has camera features i see that Xperia Z has HDR Video....so software vs hardware feature.....i think software can be added but hardware cant)

4-sound: No Doubt that S4 is much louder in outer speaker but does it rly matter? for me if i want to listen 2 music i will use headphones which r much better in xperia z in quality

5-Duribility:why shall i talk about this? it already goes for xperia z

6-BATTERY:well....2600vs 2330.....but 2600 with much sensors and amoled display(which i heard that it uses more energy that TFT but not sure) and 2330 with stamina mode that can be great.........another confusion here

7-at last....s4 is more expensive than xperia that about 1000EGP(egyptian pound)....does it worth?

thanks all in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_sock:
This sounds more like a review than a question...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
I personally think Xperia screen is horrible. Granted, I prefer SAMOLED, but there are absolutely gorgeous LCD displays like the One X (whose screen I still think is the best among LCD) or the One. Xperia Z's display I can't stand. And sound quality isn't particularly impressive either, from what I gather.

AMOLED doesn't necessarily use more energy, and Xperia Z even seems to perform worse than S4 in web browsing, which is where AMOLEDs tend to consume more battery due to white background:

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_vs_sony_xperia_z-review-915p3.php

And what makes you think that Xperia Z has "much better" sound quality?

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_vs_sony_xperia_z-review-915p6.php

Seriously, despite your "disclaimer", I doubt if you're looking for anything really. Might be wrong, obviously.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTRagnarok:
It is true that the Xperia Z compresses images a lot more. They're only about half the size of S4's images.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
The Z screen sucks badly compared to the One or S4. Sony did a very poor job there.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
And durability - being waterproof is NOT the same as being durable, for the record. It may or may not be, just saying.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2green514:
the reason octa-core supposedly saves battery life is because it has a low power quad core for when it doesnt need to perform heavy tasks, but a faster quad core for when its being taxed more.

the lower voltage, high endurance slower quad core helps to save battery life by shutting off the high powered one.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JihadSquad:
The waterproofing is apparently the reason the screen looks so bad, according to Techno Buffalo.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Hi All,

Been having this issue for a while now.

Basically with my tablet docked and the option which disabled keyboard wake up in the settings UNTICKED I cannot wake my screen once the screen has been locked for longer than 30seconds.

No matter what I do i.e use the touchpad or press keys the only way to wake the screen is via the power button.

It's extremely frustrating has anyone had the same issue previously? :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Are you using custom kernel?
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Yeah CROMI. Tried both thats and hunds kernels both with same result.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
And you UNCHECKED the MobileDock Battery saving mode located in settings--> Asus customized settings?
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
100% I made sure. I've been through all other options and can't figure out why this is happening. Is been the same across numerous full wipes. I could make a video to show the issue if it helps?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
try the key with the lock see if that works.(top right handside of the keyboard).
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Tried it only works to unlock when the screen is on. Then it works. The issue is turning the screen on via the keyboard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I don't think ths has worked since JB came in. The behaviour you are describing is default I believe. If the screen self locks then you don't get much time to use the touchpad to unlock it.

On mine when I open the lid it unlocks the screen. Does yours do this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
OK, last try, disabled the screen lock (no lock screen) and see if it wakes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Yeah when I open the lid this does wake the screen.

I guess this must be it, weird is it even worth the bother of emailing ASUS?

It's weid that when THAT tried it for me he had no issues with it, unless he wasn't leaving it for long enough. Noticed that tonite i've had no issues with using the trackpad to wake the screen however, spotify is running so maybe that interferes with the locking process?

Thanks for the help Buh, but don't think it's worth disabling the lock screen completely just to get this working!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I tried it this morning (after 6 hours sleep time), and it still worked - I hit the lock key, and the tablet was awake instantly - how unfair, I was still sleepy. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
I hate you :(

I guess this is my tablet punishing me for using such poor stock ROM's on it for so long
[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
I also have this problem when I use Cromi. I found that I can "fix" it by clicking and unclicking "MobileDock Battery saving mode" whenever I reboot the tablet-doing so allows me to wake the screen using the keyboard. Also, see if you have the same problem with Cromi-X. I recently upgraded to Cromi-X and the keyboarding waking screen problem went away.

Battery Life

Hello,

first of all, Nice review! very clear.

I agree on every point you've discussed, except battery life. You said that battery life is still the same as on ICS, and therefore mediocre. I agree that ICS was mediocre, but on JB it's just bad...

My xperia won't get through the day if i use it as often as i usually do. Around 2 hours of active screen my battery is about 10%. I don't know why the battery is worse than before. I did a clean install, meaning that i've reset every thing (factory reset, internal memory).

I've had location-based wifi on the last few days, so i am gonna try the battery without this feature and hopefully it's better...

this would be weird when u consider the fact that this feature is made to improve battery life.

we will see !

anyone else with this problem?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] z.o.cc:
I won't say it's bad but after 48 hours and 3 cycles of charging... ICS was better.:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mtakween:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gloones:
well in my opinion thats pretty bad :P

Can u give me some information about ur use (brightness, hours of active screen, stamina mode/location based wifi)?

maybe you can make a screenshot of ur battery stats after a day of use?

thnx
