Help please. It happened to me too.

I upgrade my firware to .67, root, dual recovery, no problem. but the problem happens when i followed this thread for deodex http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2458411

"Copy the rom to your microSD

Backup any important data to your microSD

Boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup first

If you have CWM: select Wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache, go into 'mounts and storage' and select Format /system, then /data, then /cache"

Then i tried to reboot recovery, but i choose "**Back** , then it reboot and have a red LED light with a Sony logo. It just stays there, what should i do? Please help...

How come the notification bar is only transparent with the standard wallpapers? As soon as you change to one of your own static or live wallpapers it goes completely black instead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
Hey all, I am looking to change the tune when my device boots up.

I found info saying to change the poweron.ogg within system/media/audio/ui.

The current sound file is 85.03kb.

Its a good 8-10 sec long i feel.

When I created an ogg file from an mp3 (converted) its way over 85kb and its only like 4 sec long.

I feel that the sound is not playing because the file is too big.

Is this whats happening?

If so, are there any programs to shrink these mp3's to ogg?

If there is something else im missing, please let me know. Thanks!

One more think... What is the shutdown sound file name?

I dont see a poweroff.ogg. Thanks!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
What ROM are you on? Boot sound doesn't work on aosp ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
Im on Dark Angel Rises Final. It has boot sound with ROM, just dont like it :P

Thats why I figured it would work if its already there.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] locohammerhead:
Hello,

I have been trying to get WiFi Tether Root working on my HTC One but it doesn't seem to want to work. I have watched the video for it and the HTC One for Sprint and the settings he used don't work for me. He did try to support me in the Youtube comments but nothing seemed to work. I did find a WiFi tether app that does work but the phone gets so hot it eventually shuts the WiFi hotspot off. That app is WiFi Tether Router. I have also tried FoxFi and PDANet+ neither seem to work.

Does anyone know how to get WiFi Tether Root working on the HTC One with laptops and Android tablets? Below is the troubleshooting I have already done.

I have the current version of WiFi Tether Root - TrevE Mod

I have tried Device Profiles: Auto, Generic, Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), Generic ICS/JB (wlan1), and others

Enable WiFi Encryption is off

WiFi-driver reload is turned on

With any of these settings the WiFi hotspot turns on, the download and upload sections of the application show no data flowing through or very little. Normally stopping at around 24 Kb download and 124 Kb upload.

Does anyone has a working configuration for this app? Does anyone know of a rom that has the native WiFi hotspot app service check disabled? Or a WiFi Tethering app that works without overheating the phone?

I also tried the fix described in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2266268

Turned on MMS clamping and Routing fix. Still no data going through.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] LettuceFace:
I have the exact same problem as OP. Pretty frustrating. I figure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is or how to fix it. I haven't tried the other tether apps. If you fix it, please post here with your settings and hopefully it will work for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] luigi311:
Try and install a custom Rom the stock Rom might have disabled WiFi tethering via 3rd party apps
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] robfactory:
Try this...HERE it worked for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
It has come to my attention that roms are being released without Kernel source coded being provided. As per XDA rules and XDA policy please post links to the source code to the kernel included in the rom. If the OEM doesnt provide the source code for their Stock kernel they are in violation of the GPL and in turn Roms for those devices will not be allowed on XDA.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Ok now that I gave this a day and see it has been seen by many take this as a fair warning.

Threads are to be updated with kernel source links with in 48 hours or the threads will be closed and all links will be removed.

This is not debatable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lokeshsaini94:
I have a question...

As android is open source... Any one can use its source and make his/her own stuff... What i read is that Linux kernel is licensed under Apache license and anyone can use the source and the new source the developer make are his own now and depends on him if he wants to share it with someone else or not... Like miui is closed source... They don't share there source and also OEM's like Samsung and HTC don't share all source... So why is it so compulsory for devs to post there source?

I am not sure where i am wrong... I am not offending xda rules... I am just asking what i am missing here... So please correct me where i am wrong...

Thank you...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
The Linux kernel is licensed under the GPL license not the Apache. Only the kernel source code is required to be posted.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sam Solomon:
Themed Stock ROMs also comes under this?? And this post is only found here,not on specifc device threads... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lokeshsaini94:
This is for only those roms which are compiled from source... You can't post source of kernel if your rom is stock... But if you compiled kernel from source... The kernel you used in you custom rom then post source for the kernel in your rom thread...

Thank you...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
This is not so. The kernel source HAS to be made available. If the OEM doesnt provide the kernel source then no rom for that device will be allowed. OEMs post the source code for their kernels. Well most do anyway, the ones that dont are in violation of the GPL laws.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sam Solomon:
For my device Micromax A110...Kernel Sources arent released and they wont but its clone device "Mobistel Cynus T2" released Kernel Source...So is that enough??

One Kernel was compiled using it....

And if yes,i will notify Micromax A110 Forum Developers about it :laugh: Sorry if i am disturbing
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
What ever kernel is in the rom that is posted must have available kernel source. If roms are using the stock kernel and no sources are available then it will be removed. If it is using a custom kernel based on the clone source and a link to the source can be provided then that is fine. But the source MUST match the kernel in the rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sam Solomon:
Ok,Will let them know...Thanks for letting me know..Bro.. :D :D ​
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Ok guys I have given plenty of time on this, and will still work with people but com the middle of next week I will be going to each thread and if the thread doesnt have the proper kernel links The thread will be closed and all links will be removed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kinghacker:
But Our phone manufacturers doesn't provided d kernel source...

so is that our fault??

So If u don't want d violation of GPL..and XDA rules..

then Send official notice to Phone manufacturers or phone company who release their phones without kernel sources...

Why closing our thread???

So we should consider now that..

we r being pushed out of our favorite Home..i.e. Xda..???????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
I am doing what I can to help with the source code for the kernels.

You have 2 choices if no source is available le. Remove the kernel or the thread will be removed.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kinghacker:
but how to remove stock kernel...my friend??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sam Solomon:
Just remove boot.IMG and the script from updater script for boot.IMG.....I will remove my ROMs on Tuesday morning....:p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kinghacker:
but without that how can rom will boot...

and every users dont hv d file??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sam Solomon:
Boot.IMG is already there on a android device......So it doesn't matter....But when it comes to different Android versions like ICS and JB...It will matter...Also on MIUI and LEWA too

and my reply

Then who would I contact about the kernel source code for the devices. It is required by law that upon request the device OEM has to provide the source code. If they refuse Google can and has revoked the rights to use Android. Please provide me with who I must get into contact with concerning this.

I would suggest as many people that can do the same as I am doing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sam Solomon:
This is the exact same reply I said about bro....So what's next from our side??? :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Next I await their reply about who to contact about it. I would advise people to start emailing them. Maybe drop a few tech sites the info and see if they will run a story about it. I am not saying spam the site. But don't just accept what they say. Push the issue.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] KidCarter93:
How about getting a portal story wrote about it?

It then lets the XDA side of things know about it + a lot of sites use XDA portal to publish information on their sites.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
I am not sure if XDA will make a portal post about it as it is not really a wide spread issue and only effect select countries. You could suggest it and see what happens. I would start with local sites though.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] u.k-f:
How about recovery-tools like CWM which also come together with a kernel?

To be fair, your rule about roms must also match such tools, that the kernel source must be available.

regards Uwe
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
The rules are not mine they are the license that the kernel is under. The recovery is completely different matter.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u.k-f:
A recovery image (like CWM) also contains a kernel (which is under license of GPL) so why is a recovery completely different to a ROM?

regards Uwe
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
The source for these recoveries are already available and can be built freely.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] varun.chitre15:
I had a debate with [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] on this. But he isn't ready to believe that all recovery images all over XDA contain kernel i.e zImage which is a fact. In case of some Samsung phones it combines both kernel and recovery partition into single one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Look guys, The bottom line is that any kernel on XDA has the kernel source posted. This is one of XDA rules and most comply with it. Those that dont are normally from Companies that import their devices from China where GPL laws are not respected.

Now as I stated the recovery source is open to all to be built into the kernel.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u.k-f:
Of course the recovery source is open, but it needs to be combined with an appropriate kernel for that device.

Its nearly the same as a ROM, I can take an existing kernel (where the OEM does not provide source) and build a CWM from it.

So when the rule is, that a ROM including such a kernel must not be provided on xda, the rule must also be, a CWM containing such a kernel must alos not be provided on xda

regards Uwe
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Look I dont know if you noticed or not but most of the devices here all have the kernel source posted. So this covers the recoveries for that device. If a recovery is being posted for a device that has no kernel source then it is removed.

Now we are working on removing all device threads for device that dont provide kernel source code. Not a big deal really as most provide the source code. Very few do not. Now we can argue about this all we want but this is not a new rule to debate.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u.k-f:
Thanks! That was one part I wanted to hear...

I never wanted to argue against removing the ROMs!!!

I just want that you notice, that there are recoveries without posting the kernel-source, which is also a violation of GPL!

And it should not be enough that the OEM supplies the kernel-source, but the recovery thread should also link to the kernel source, to follow the principle:

The same rules for all is fair!

regards Uwe
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
What if I was to repack a modified randisk with the stock zimage and make a boot.IMG and my OEM doesn't have available source?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Then the kernel can't be posted.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
What if the modified ramdisk is required for root? ( such as making the kernel unsecure )

Or just adding init.d support?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Doesnt matter as the kernel source code has to be posted with all changes properly documented.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I think this is a step backwards for xda then. I understand GPL n follow GPL for my work.

If the kernel itself is untouched then I don't see the need for the dev to be GPL complaint. I see people moving to other forums that compete with xda n what it is.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Its because the min you distribute the kernel you are held to the GPL and are liable for it. So if you distribute a kernel and cant provide the kernel source for the kernel you could have your rights taken away to distribute any kernels at all.

You have to remember that XDA is a developers site not really a rom or kernel site so a kernel without source does no one here any real good.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
This I understand but people come here to look to modify there phones. If they can't find what they want here then they'll look else where. You guys frown upon having to links directed to competing forums but now your driving people to use those forums to get what they need or want for there device. Isn't it good practice to keep all traffic coming back as much as possible?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Then honestly they are coming here for the wrong reasons. We are a developers site first and formost. If they want to just get stuff to flash their devices and dont care about learning then this is not the place for them to be honest.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Well unfortunately most of the people here are just into flashing things n not that interested in learning how anything was made. No matter what device I have there's always more users then developers or people looking to become developers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iHateWebOS:
You know it's bad when most "devs" don't even know a programming language....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Then there not a Dev.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] toxicthunder:
[MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] i respect your concern for GPL violations. As some of the users stated, some of the devices have recovery and kernel baked into one (like some Samsung Phones)

Again, when we talk of GPL compliance. By your logic all Samsung Stock ROM threads (deodexed / zipaligned etc etc) should be removed with immediate effect, since Samsung is notorious for not complying to the source requirements. In the event that they do provide their sources, it is only after a prolonged period of time (and after much head-banging against the wall)

And considering that TW-based roms are immensely popular in the i9100, n7000 and similar forums (basically smdk4210 boards) and that they have been there for over a year, XDA is in serious trouble with non-compliance issues then.

Also, I take strong exception to the fact that xda won't express its stance on the portal because the issue persists only in certain countries (which reading between the lines implies 'as long as it is not the USA) On one side you say that xda is about development, and not making money/promoting products, and on the other side you present such apathy towards devices outside the US.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
There was already a portal article about XDA stance on the GPL. As for Samsung they are posting the kernel source for most devices before the device is even available to the public. Leaked roms are not held to the GPL so those dont apply. Now the issue with not putting it on the portal is due to other country laws were they are not required to follow the GPL like China.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brainiac.cm:
Look for example at HTC, they don't provide kernel source for our Desire X (JB ROM), and that automatically means that all custom JB ROMs with stock kernel will be removed, not all people from our community got OTA and don't have the same kernel (boot.img), so if you remove kernel from ROM, then ICS users can't install custom JB ROM. Can XDA, as huge community influence OEMs to release sources? We, from DX subforum, contacted HTC, but they don't want to cooperate...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Can we do anything as a site? No. Nothing more then you guys can do. Now I just looked at a petition for the kernel source and to be honest who ever wrote it up made a huge mistake. Making ref to custom Sense roms is not smart as that is in violation of HTC copyrights. Has anyone emailed HTC asking for the source code? If you look at the GPL it states it has to be provided upon request and as this is not a popular device that maybe your best bet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brainiac.cm:
All of us have sent the letter only [MENTION=3834787]atis112[/MENTION] got some normal reply all of us got the template :D Awful... They just don't want to release it, they said that they will release OTA for all of us, within 60 days, and nothing happened, half of the world still has ICS. They said to atis that they will reconsider our request. All of us, beside him, who wrote an email to htc, including me, got that template, like there was a computer answering, with different signatures :D We can't have any CM 10.x ROM without those sources, we can with some workarounds, but it will never be 100% stable
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
Ok Guys I have given everyone plenty of time I think. I will be going through the threads on by one and checking for GPL compliance. If the kernel sources are not posted and able to be build a working and matching kernel will all change properly documented then the thread will be removed. I know this is not the rom devs fault but the rules are clear and simple.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
And why do you say that? 99% of roms have the kernel source

Currently:

All posted roms in VZW One Section

All posted recoveries in VZW One Section

All posted recoveries in M4 (one mini section)

all posted ROMS in m4 (one mini section)

a TON of posted roms in DNA subforum

i am saying new device traffic for those users who want to come somewhere like xda to root and get recovery

now all those things have to be kept hidden and off the site?

not trying to incite a riot by any means this just kinda rubs me the wrong way
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
We are very clear on the GPL. This is mainly for device OEM that never release the kernel source code for sold device. Leaks do not count so most HTC and Samsung kernels are fine. This will cover all clones and most devices sold from China.

This is a set of new status bars for CleanROM. I was annoyed by the AM/PM display in the status bar, so I learned how to fix it myself, and now I'm sharing it with everyone else. I have a full set of status bars with a choice of all of the icon versions, available in either small AM/PM or no AM/PM. These will overwrite any other status bar mod/theme you have installed.

I'm not responsible for anything bad that happens by flashing these on anything other than the listed version of CleanROM
