[General Questions and Answers] NoobKnight:
Hi, as don't know if this is the place where I can post this but since I'm too nooob to post in the Ron thread, here it goes:

I'm currently running a I9500 with paranoid Android Rom 4.42 and Android 4.4.4 and I'm having the following issues:

1. Horrible battery life: it only lasts 6 hrs top and the main consumption is always the screen even when I have it in minimum values and with brightness decreased.

2. GPS is ****. It lasts too much to get a lock and sometimes it doesn't even lock.

3. Sometimes the phone locks and is irresponsive to buttons pressing and all the other ways to wake it up and I have to pull the battery to fix it.

Sorry for the inconvenience and if there's somewhere else where I must post this please just point in the right direction.

Thank you..
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i would do the following:

-read through the rom thread to see if anyone else is reporting these issues, and a possible fix

-re-download the rom and do a complete clean wipe then re-install. wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system (i prefer 3 times each) before the install. its possible you got a bad download or install.

-some roms just dont work well on some phones for no apparent reason, you may have to try another rom if none of the above helps.

-also, its a rom, there are bound to be some bugs, sometimes reported in the thread, some times not.

Karbonn A2 roehsoft RAM expander

Hello Guys!

I'm quite new here so I would very much appreciate your help. I recently updated games on my my KArbonn A2, Minecraft PE to be exact and somehow it always force closes (or lags very much). I suspect that its because my phone has little RAM. I tried using Roehsoft to cure this but its incompatible for Karbonn A2. Can anybody help me with this? I believe I needed to flash a new ROM but there are so many out there I don't know what to choose (and I also no how to safely do such a procedure). Can someone give me steps to follow? Thank you very much
[General Questions and Answers] KkdGab:
Flash cwm then make a backup of ur rom (nothing is guaranteed but if soft brick happens u have a procedure)

Download ROM the copy to SD card

Enter cwm then wipe data/factory reset

Install zip from sdcard- chose zip

Find ur rom

Wait for it to be finished

Reboot.

If stuck at boot logo for more than 45 mins restore.

Problem with connecting Xperia SL(LT26ii) in Mass Storage Mode

Hey everyone,

I have a Sony Xperia SL (LT26ii)

with the latest firmware 6.2.B.1.96

and android 4.1.2

I wanted to root my phone using the method given in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2424905

So i wanted to try method I,

first step - successful

second step - Skipped - cos latest firware,

While on third, i clicked the lightning symbol on the Flashtool program and selected Flashmode option,

and after that connected my phone as it said on the link above(switch off, press VOLUME DOWN, connect USB cable)

But then it said error cos no drivers were installed

Then i went on to install drivers, when i tried using the install android driver link from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2228647) to install drivers it gave a message that the drivers are already installed. so i tried the process again only to get the same result. i also saw on the error log that my phone must not be connected in MTP mode.

I also saw on some forums that my phone has to be connected in Mass storage mode for me to install the drivers

So searched for how to connect my phone on mass storage mode but then i found on this forum that my phone should be rooted for me to switch the connection mode to mass storage. So the problem appears to be circular and its driving me crazy.

i'm completely new to android os, but know a little bit of linux and very basic programming

Where am i going wrong???:crying::crying:

can someone please help me??

Sorry for such a long post.

Thanks in Advance :)

That would not make any diffrence..

Y- Cables are for supplying power to big hungry devices and supply their data to the device which cannot offer that amount of power..

like, small tablets cannot power hard drives so you use a Y-cable to power it from a power source and other port to feed its data to tablet

the problem is that even If I could custom make a recovery for you that would be useless as for flashing it would be back to where we started..

Did you enable the Andrid Debugging option under setting/developers option...

If I'm not wrong its a option in non root firmwares too..

Thank you for your reply.

and yes i did enable debugging option (debug mode when usb is connected option is checked)
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
There is no guarantee that the custom ROM will fix anything. It may be a problem with the update, it happens some time. I would go to settings/apps find your games and uninstall updates, then wait for a new update to see if it fixes the issue.

If it is a problem with the update, putting on a custom ROM will just be a waste of time.

Is this possible to make a rom without having stock rom.....I heard that its possible to port stock rom from base rom...

Edit....

[General Questions and Answers] mayank9856:
Here are the basics..

Google makes ANDROID and releases the code..

everyone else gets the codes from google and load it with their own creation.. ( by everyone I do mean Samsung Developers or HTC Developers or for that matter any developer out there.. )

Stock roms are nothing but modifed veersion of Googles Open source codes

cynogenmod, AOKP etc are all developed from it too..

So I would suggest that you first go for cynogenmod..

get the source from the cynogenmod website and edit it for your device..

Help on flashing Note 2 (E250 converted to N7105)

First of all, this is my first post and I'm a complete noob!

I have a pre-owned Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Android v4.1.1) which the "About Device" indicates is model n7105. After reading a lot about how to flash custom ROMS, I tried Ditto Note 3 v5 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589715). Everything went well during the installation but after reboot it got stuck in the logo screen. After waiting for 10 minutes I flashed it AGAIN but with the same result. Finally after waiting for 20 minutes, I restored my phone to its backup. Now my phone can no longer detect my SIM card and my IMEI is null/unknown, even after factory reset. I made a big mistake! :o Then I remembered that that the original owner mentioned it's a converted E250 KOREAN version but I'm no longer able to contact her. This phone has been rooted and tweaked many times for over a year now, and having it serviced is no longer an option.

I definitely still want to flash DN3 (or any custom ROM compatible with E250) but I also need how to revert E250 to N7105 and fix my "Insert SIM card" problem. So where do I go from here? Any help/comments/suggestions on my specific case would be greatly appreciated!

Note: I didn't find the answers to these in related forums and I'm also not yet able to post anything there. Hoping someone knowledgeable and helpful reads this.:)

Top Customized/Mod 8 inch Android tablets ???

Hello everyone, I have a Acer A1-810 8.9 inch tablet that is cool. It's not the fastest or the most efficient but it is cool for what I need it for. Games, Surfing, Reading etc. I've tried to Root the tablet numerous times with the ToolKit thats provided by XDA, however I have failed every time. It goes through some of the process and stops. I've spent too much time (and days) trying to root it so I'm giving up on it maybe giving it to my mom or brother.

I'm really into rooting & flashing roms for all of my Android Devives (Note 10.1, Galaxy player 5.0, Galaxy Note 2, Minix tv box, Galaxy S3, numerous tablets and phones that I no longer have) therefore I'm looking to buy the most customized/flashed (various roms) 8.0, 8.3 or 8.9 inch Andorid tablet available.

I like the Galaxy Tab 3 (I no longer want a 7.0 inch tab) & Galaxy 8.0 , however they only have root access and no available roms to flash and I like to change my roms like a woman changes her mind. If anyone could suggest some tablets for me to purchase that are rootable and flashable I would greating appreciate it.

Thanks

Erase Data | Secure Wipe

with the avast article coming out last week, i'm wondering how someone (me) with very little techno ability knows how to properly erase ALL my data from my old galaxy note android phone (which i'd like to sell). i keep reading that yes, it's a problem, no, the factory reset will do it, blah, blah, blah.

i've uninstalled all of my downloaded apps, encrypted the phone and done a factory reset. will this do it? should i do the encrypt/reset several times? what else, if anything, do i need to do?

i've tried searching the forum for this info, but didn't get anywhere (maybe i'm using the wrong terms?)

thanks! :o
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i would do the factory reset 3 times from stock recovery.

try searching your phones forum, if you dont know how to get into stock recovery.

it is just a couple button combos when powered off, but not all phones are the same or i would just tell you what to push :)

i honestly dont know.

what i do know is it is not a simple process. if there is little or no existing development for your phone, it could easily take many days to weeks to get a rom working reasonably well. when things dont work, you need to know how to fix it or your time spent will just be wasted.

it is best to stick with more popular phones, if you want to customize it.

Proper Kernel Install Questions

I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0. I had an old version of Gingerbread as an OS. I was happy to find the [ROM][4.4.4][YP-G70][UNOFFICIAL]CyanogenMod 11.0. I got it installed and it works great. Thanks to all who contribute and develop, this is awesome to get updated to Kitkat. My questions are in regards to kernel installs. I have a US device so I know to choose a US kernel. At first I installed "-USKernel-Jan12". Everything worked but bluetooth, even the camera. Then I installed "USA-Kernel-venturi-Apr-16". The bluetooth started working, but now the camera won't work. Then I tried to install kernel "Sultan-kernel-Venturi-USA-r8". I couldn't get this one to install at all, it frooze the device upon reboot and gave an error. I was able to go back and install kernel "USA-Kernel-venturi-Apr-16" but my camera still isn't working.

Questions:

1. How do I know what the latest or "best" kernel to install for my device?

2. Is there a special process to follow when installing a new kernel?

3. Why is the best kernel not hosted with the ROM in the downloads tab?

Any feedback is a appreciated, thanks

1. you have to read the kernel threads and judge for yourself based on user comments.

2. not really. backup, wipe dalvic and cache, flash kernel

Backup all your data and try a factory reset, if that doesn't work, you will want to re-flash the official stock firmware.
