[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bahurs1:
well this went down hill fast. So when you said that some apps will fail I didn't think usb conectivity/media storage/contacts would fail all the time, better yet it can't read my sim card anymore. the root still made it just that super user wasn't installed, I just found it in system apps and after self instalation it works, I got root but the rest of the phone is broken. I thought that the zip I made would recover it so I installed CWM(somehow) wiped and flashed and viseversa and it sill failsto load the sim card and the prececes are still going nuts. I'm thinking I'll try to install a coustom rom now and see if that helps.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] taboo5200:
If you're referring to USB-on-the-go, then yes - most, if not all of the Xperia 2012 phones support it out of the box.

Um, I'll need you to explain what you did in as much detail as you can - I'm having a bit of a hard time decoding what you did from the above paragraph, lol.

Save yourself the trouble of downloading one, the custom ROM would fail to boot without an unlocked bootloader anyway. Right now, what you should do would be to return to ICS (rooted and with CWM installed) where the phone's basic functionality is at least available.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bahurs1:
Picked one that said that doesn't need an unlocked one. decided to refresh just before flashin the .zip

Okay so. after I got root in ICS I threw in CWM > Made the CWM flashable .zip and put on the internal memory of the phone > went in CWM and wiped + flashed the own made JB.zip > turned it off > flashed the first .tft I made and ticked all wipes and excluded system and TA thing. > booted it up and it started to show all sorts of processes failing. and eventually it just showed me Android system shutting down thing > then it reboots and almost instantly the Shutdown window pops up and same again.

So I turned it off and when to flash it again only this time I unticked the TA checkbox, cause I saw it was the simlock.sin so I thought maybe that could have been the thing. > so after that it boots up and shows me processes failing again so I just press ok and there gone for a while. > I see a "whats new in android 4.0" window, so I skip through that > then I see this "sim card cannot be detected thing" and it sayd to prevent random turing on while shipping it will shutdown in 15minutes, I need to insert my sim card to stop that, BUT IT IS IN what gives?? > then I go to settings somehow and I see I have android 4.1.2 with the correct fw number. > I go look for super super user, but I dont see it > with astro I go to sytem/app and find the regular superuser app. > I press on it and it installs. I run it > it works. login in to market get titanium backup and I pass the root test. > the media/usb storage processes are unexpectedly turning off and I see the pop up every time > I launch the phone app dial any number and process contacts dies out too and I'm back on the homescreen. > assuming i have root I thow in CWM and flash the same JB.zip that I made before and it doesn't help. I can make a wipe too but that does nothing also(just brings back the welcome first time use to android 4.0 thing ).

I'm thinking my JB.zip is broken
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] taboo5200:
Looks to me like an issue with the embedded updater-script (it's really just a plaintext file with UNIX line endings), I used my own version that I wrote. I'll upload my own JB.zip here. With my version, you do

not

have to make any modifications to the extracted /system files - my updater-script takes care of everything for you,

including embedding the Superuser stuff to regulate root access

(I'm using an open source version of the Superuser app and its accompanying su binary).

In other words, all you have to do is to extract the /system files from system.sin and put them into the system folder of my jb_system.zip - nothing else needs to be done.

Do note that the Superuser app I'm using enforces a 3 second delay before the Allow button can be pressed, you may wish to substitute it with the other Superuser app from percy_g2's post if that irritates you. To do so, open the tools folder inside the zip archive and replace

both

the su binary and Superuser.apk. Don't forget to flash back to ICS first to ensure you're on a clean base.

Edit:

It appears that my updater-script removes critical symbolic links when wiping the /system folder and doesn't restore them, leading to severe connectivity issues. For this reason, I have removed the attached CWM package and will add a fixed version later.

Edit 2:

Okay, fixed it. I've attached the fixed CWM package for anyone who's still interested, though there's a one-click rooting method already available for the 6.2.A.0.400 / 6.2.A.1.100 firmwares.

Wow, what a nasty turn of events. :< Hopefully it'll be resolved with my version.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bahurs1:
HEEI it works! sorta... it still can't recognize my sim. everytime I start it, it asks for language and then tells me that the card cannot be recognized. Other then that everytings lookin good! running JB and I can see the SU in the app drawer!, I'm thinking maybe its the simlock.sin or the TA checkbox. why do I have to keep the somebodys simlock if I can throw on that worked for me?

I'll try to flash just that one file and see if it helps. also maybe upload the sim error popup image.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] taboo5200:
I have a bad feeling about that SIM thing, it's for this reason that I've always mentioned Exclude TA in my procedures. I know you've done loads of flashing now and are probably sick of flashing, but try flashing back to stock JB with PCC/SUS and see if your SIM card is recognized again. Here's hoping that that resolves it. And next time, remember not to flash the TA!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bahurs1:
Your gut was wrong, I flashed with everyting checked exept for the TA tag and what do you know? it works sorta (again)

So it booted into nice fully working JB. exept I lost root. I have the SU app but it says the binaries are outdated, and when I press install it just shows that there was an error, please send the log to the devs. The log is emply or.. there are no logs. I installed SuperSU and it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"

what now? back to ICS with the unchecked TA box?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] taboo5200:
Well, that's a relief! I'm actually glad that I'm wrong there. :P

Did you flash system in as well? If you did, then there's your problem. In any case, it looks to me that you'll have to reflash to ICS and start over again. But I believe it should be a breeze for you since you should undoubtedly have gained a fair bit of experience by now. :P Just remember to unconditionally exclude the TA.

And regarding root access regulation systems, most Superuser apps consist of a pair of components: the Superuser app and the su binary. They are a pair and they must remain paired for proper functionality.

Here's what each component is responsible for:

Superuser app: This represents the GUI front of the pair. When an app or executable requests for privilege elevation, this app displays the prompt for you to approve the request.

su binary: This is responsible for the actual privilege elevation. When other apps or executables request for privilege elevation, they talk to this binary, and this in turn triggers the Superuser app to prompt you for approval.

If you want to replace the root access regulation system, you'll need to replace

both

components at the same time. For security, every su binary is designed to only call to the app it was bundled with, and nothing else.

All the best!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bahurs1:
I have been sitting here for almost 6 hours atleast and I cannot seem to find what the hell is wrong here.

Maybe you could upload your used files to google drive? it would be a faster download from googles servers unlike some 3'rd party sites.

I'm just so close to giving up on this. I have flashed the thing 'n' times now. if this doesn't work out soon I'll just flash with sus to stock and live with it untill they figure out a way to root JB.

EDIT:

DEAR LORD, EVERYTHING WORKS!!!

I just picked up somebodys JB.zip and flashed that, also flashed my own zip with SU just in case. flashed back to my tft with all wipes and /system and TA checked. boots up in like 3mins and first thing I see is some process failing, but after that. everything works....

I hope it stays this way for one thing. other then the registered number count to google play everything looks soo majestic now... full glory of jelly bean with root.

I'll take it for a spin tomorrow and see how it goes. I'll post an update ether way if it fails or stays this way.

:D:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bahurs1:
Welp, I guess I couldn't make a proper flashable zip then I guess. Jezz this has been fun.. well dumb me now has to apologise to mister good guy taboo5200 and thank him for not letting me hang :D

Only thing now is figure out how to get 3d camera back if I can and enjoy the waterproof since it's pretty hot here now :)

Again, thanks taboo! you're awesome, keep that in mind now :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] taboo5200:
You're welcome, good to hear things are going well for you. :3

Just keep in mind that with great power (i.e. root access) comes great responsibility (and great danger). Always think things through before you do anything, check what you're installing, and when prompted with a request for root privileges, always ask yourself, "Why does app X need root access to do what it's trying to do?" If you can't answer that, it might be a better idea to turn down the request first and do a little research.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bahurs1:
Yeah, thats a thing to remember now :< on the x8 it was like - whats this? never mind, probably nothing. but If I have to go through all that **** again with this baby... lets just hope that severe android viruses don't become a thing in the upcoming future...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulalex93:
Hi! I installed today Nova Launcher on my nexus 4. What I immediatly noticed is that is smoother than the default launcher... and I was wondering why? I came from an iphone to android and there , if you put a third party theme or a third party anything it's 10 times laggier than the default...

I will kinda like to keep my default launcher cuz I am a little bit of a keep stock everything...

The diferences that I saw is that in my widgets drawer in nova the animation doesn't lag but the images of the widgets appear later... now in default launcher the animation between pages is laggy , sometimes extremely laggy and also the images appear later.

Can someone tell me if I can fix the default launcher to not be laggy?

PS Sometimes in the drawer there is lag when i do the first swipe to go to the next page and then is ok , but the first swipe is laggy

PS2: I already did the trick with disable backround currents sync
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defffizz:
nova is pretty much stock, i mean, looks like stock, feels like stock, just with more options to customize, it is best launcher in my opinion. i don't think you can do much to improve your navigating performance, if you already disabled background sync. also, nexus 4 shouldn't be laggy at all, it's one of the fastest phones out there. although, my nexus (with or without nova launcher) sometimes lags in widgets area but i think it's perfectly normal, nothing wrong with that (you should see galaxy s3's performance in widget area, u will feel much better :P)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
Hard reset. I have absolutely no lag when swiping thru the drawer pages.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulalex93:
besides currents , are there any other backround sync to kill? the one that I have running and I need is the contacts and instant upload
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
Nova launcher has different speed settings for animations and scrolling. IIRC, nova by default has the speed set to "nova speed" which makes everything feel faster. That may be why it feels like it lags less. For what it's worth, I only use nova launcher on my android devices. All the look and feel of stock with a lot of nice options. Kind of how CM 10 is to stock android.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulalex93:
tolls seukrl

So , I returned! I hard reseted my nexus 4 and with no luck! Even now , when I do my first swipe when I enter the drawer it is 90% of times laggy and when I get to widgets is the same , sometimes laggy sometimes not:(

I mean I am a little bit dissapointed , I mean I come from an iphone 4 which has a 1ghz processor , single core and now i have a quad core processor , and I would have expected that the experience is 10 times smoother than on the iphone but I have more lag than I ever had on the iphone. I am not saying android isn't awesome cuz it is but I hate that first laggy scroll and the widgets drawer lag so much that it makes me cranky:(

hi,

i have just bought the S4, the only problem is the white mains power charger cable is too short for me.

Can anyone recommend an extended mains power charger that is compatible with the S4 i9505?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fade2green514:
Any micro usb will be fine just keep in mind the longer the cable the slower it will charge the phone. I personally bought a power strip to add more distance ... but I also have a 10ft usb cable that charges my phone very slowly
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] swatsqad:
Don't listen to anyone that says to get a usb extension cable.

to answer you'r question, you can't get a longer cable for the s4, at this time.

the usb cable and charger are "special" you have to use what came in the box to be charging the phone at ~1.5 amps, if you so much as just use a different microUSB cable, the current will go down to ~0.75 amps (effectively doubling the required charging time). same goes for the wall adapter.

I tried loading the XDA rom in my Seimens SX56. But it said it was incompatible with my specs: Rom - R.30.07 ENG, Rom Version - A.33.03, Protocal Version - 1.3.3. It asked that I do a normal reset, which i did, but my liitle boy saw me poking this pin into the side of the PDA, so when I went into the next room, he decides to do the same, but in the Hard reset hole. I now have a locked screen saying "Ugrading, It will take 5 minutes. Warning: Do not remove USB or power" Is my unit toast or do I have hope? The reason I was changing from 2003 to the XDA Rom version is because the 2003 Rom would only USB sync after a hard reset, then it would not sync again?? Any help???

Do you mean in the XDA tools "fix brocken bootloader" I tried that but it just sat there. Also I did do a backup to SD card, before I tried this ROM change, but I cannot find it on my SD now?

Well I still went ahead. It did its flash loading, then asked that I "soft reset", that did not work. The second time I flashed the ROM it said to "Hard Reset".

After both the resets I still get a white background and the message"

"Ugrading...

It will take about 5 minutes.

Warning: Do not remove the USB/Serial connection or power adater from the Pocket PC"

Any ideas where I am going wrong?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] specialmix:
***** CORRECTION *****

Ignore what I wrote above.

It seems that I am not writing to my SD / USB writer. I cannot even see the files in my windows explorer. Even though XDA "SUCCESFULLY COPIED IMAGE OF 60531 BLOCKS". The reason why I was able to boot from the SD card last time was because I had loaded my OS & Boot setting from my SX56 by mistake to the card before I tried to load it from the SD. I need a new SD writer, I will get one today and see what happens.

Thanks...
[LG Optimus 2x] gulu2:
hi all, im using pengus kernel 100p5 and his latest cm10 new bootloader

just wanna ask are u guys using proximity sensor apps with success? (using proximity sensor to unlock screen)

although there are options to apply wakelock to the app and probably the sensor (i could be wrong correct me if im) but with pengus kernel,

the sensor wont wake up after u left it for over 10mins when it is in deep sleep, so whatever mode be it double tap or wave it wont wake up and unlock the screen coz the sensor enters deep sleep (i guess thats the main reason)

so are there any recommended alternatives? thx, i use autoscreenon, previously used intellicover but doesnt work too
